Subject: [PATCH 01/45] fix(bedrock): omit system prompt from audio
 transcription and report its token usage (#41565)

* fix(bedrock): omit system prompt from audio transcription

* fix(bedrock): report Converse token usage on audio transcription

Bedrock transcriptions returned usage null and were billed at $0. Map
Converse inputTokens, outputTokens and totalTokens into the transcription
usage so spend uses the model's per-token price. input_token_details is
optional because Converse does not split audio and text tokens.

Also switch the updated request-shape test to rstest.

* fix(bedrock): default transcription temperature to 0 and price ap-southeast-2 Voxtral regionally

Voxtral wrapped some transcripts in quotes at its default sampling
temperature. In direct Converse calls in ap-southeast-2, 0 of 48 calls at
temperature 0 were framed against 7 of 72 at the default, and instruction
wording made no clear difference, so the request now sends temperature 0
when the caller sets none, matching OpenAI's transcription default.

Calls in ap-southeast-2 billed at the us-east-1 price. The cost map gains
bedrock/ap-southeast-2 Voxtral rows with all four service tiers, the Bedrock
transcription response carries the deployment region in its hidden params,
and the transcription token cost uses the region-resolved model key.

The bridge now builds the response with model_copy instead of assigning
usage after construction, and the native wheel test checks the usage the
compiled route returns.

* fix(bedrock): forward transcription language, reject unsupported formats, and bill env and Tokyo/London regions

get_optional_params_transcription had no Bedrock branch, so language,
response_format and timestamp_granularities were dropped before the Rust
transform ever saw them. Bedrock now forwards language, prompt and
temperature, accepts response_format json or text (the only shapes it can
return), and answers 400 for srt, vtt, verbose_json or
timestamp_granularities unless drop_params is set.

The billing region now falls back to AWS_REGION_NAME and then AWS_REGION
when aws_region_name is unset, the same order the Rust resolver uses to
pick the endpoint, so an env-configured region gets its regional price.

Adds ap-northeast-1 and eu-west-2 Voxtral rows (standard, batch, flex and
priority) from the AWS Bedrock offer files, the other two regions AWS
serves Voxtral audio in.

* fix(bedrock): send transcription temperature as a number and name the rejected param

The proxy keeps multipart form values as strings, so -F temperature=0.2
reached Converse as "0.2" and Bedrock answered 400. The Bedrock mapper now
converts temperature to a float and answers 400 (or drops it under
drop_params) when it is not a finite number.

get_optional_params_transcription copied prompt and temperature back from
the raw call after the Bedrock branch ran, which undid that conversion and
any drop. The Bedrock branch now owns every OpenAI transcription param.

An unsupported param such as timestamp_granularities now gets a 400 that
names it instead of the generic "user/encoding format" message.

* refactor(bedrock): return unsupported transcription params as a value and raise at the param step

* fix(bedrock): drop the retired max_tokens field from the regional voxtral price rows

Subject: [PATCH 02/45] fix(logging): stop dumping the request body at every
 layer under --detailed_debug (#48973)

* fix(logging): stop dumping the request body at every layer under --detailed_debug

The proxy dumped the full request body at every layer it passed through
(proxy entry, pre-call, router, SDK call echo, param mapping, logging
object), so one Codex "hi" wrote over 500KB of debug log. Keep the inbound
request line and the outgoing provider request, summarize large values in
the SDK call echo, and stop per-request lines that report nothing
(callback disable checks with no disable header, cost map name probes,
response id decode misses, vector store path misses).

* fix(logging): summarize tools in the param mapping debug lines

Non-Default params and Final returned optional params still printed full
tool definitions, so a Codex-style request repeated them twice more. Use
the same size summary as the SDK call echo and cover tools in the test.

* perf(logging): build the param mapping debug summary only when debug is on

Subject: [PATCH 03/45] fix(stream): the last usage frame carries litellm's
 bill in usage.cost (#48955)

* fix(proxy): copy the stream's hidden response_cost into the client's streamed usage.cost

The stream is priced once into hidden response_cost (stream builder for chat and text completions, the Responses iterator for the terminal event) and the proxy egress copies that bill into the streamed usage.cost on a copy of the event. Inside the pipeline usage.cost stays what the upstream reported. Spend rows do not change; the billing fix for upstream-reported usage.cost follows in the next PR cut from #48287.

* fix(proxy): type the bridge bill carry and the builder's reported-cost guard for the lint gates

* style: format the chat-over-Responses bridge helper signature

* refactor(bridge): build the billed Responses event with model_copy instead of a TypeAdapter chain

* fix(stream): keep writing the computed cost into usage.cost as on main, the hidden copy is only for the proxy egress

* fix(stream): write litellm's bill into the usage frame's usage.cost instead of a hidden field the proxy copies

* test(stream): keep main's formatting in test_streaming_handler.py, only the new test changes

* refactor(stream): drop the docstring on _stamp_usage_cost, the body says it

Subject: [PATCH 04/45] fix(responses): drop params compact rejects and send
 Azure compaction to the v1 route (#48876)

* fix(responses): drop metadata from compact requests to OpenAI and Azure

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(responses): drop user and drop_params-rejected fields on compact and route Azure compaction to v1

* fix(responses): keep stream on compact and keep non-dated Azure api-versions on the v1 compact route

* fix(responses): drop compact params only for providers verified to reject them

Subject: [PATCH 05/45] fix(guardrails): scan Responses tool results in
 texts-mode guardrails (#48827)

* fix(guardrails): scan Responses tool results in texts-mode guardrails

* fix(guardrails): keep guardrail-added tools and non-text parts on Responses tool scans

Tool result texts now come from the same conversion that builds the chat tool message, so items without a call_id, dict outputs, and outputs with no text parts stay aligned for Bedrock and PANW. A changed joined text replaces the first text part and keeps the other parts. scan_only_tool_results appends tools the guardrail returns with new names, like chat, and tool_result and computer_call_output items are scanned through the shared type list.

* fix(guardrails): skip empty and screenshot tool outputs and keep text part types on Responses scans

* fix(guardrails): keep Bedrock latest-turn masking aligned when tool outputs send no text

* fix(guardrails): scan each Responses tool output text part on its own

* fix(guardrails): split a Responses tool output's structured row when only textless outputs share its call_id

* fix(guardrails): pair each Responses tool output with its own structured row

Subject: [PATCH 06/45] fix(guardrails): skip embeddings input in
 google_text_moderation (#48934)

* fix(guardrails): skip embeddings input in google_text_moderation and openai_moderations

Since v1.103.0 the proxy dispatches these legacy moderation callbacks on every route, and they read the embeddings input field as text, so benign embedding inputs were blocked. Return early for embedding call types, matching the Aim and Cato guardrails.

* test(guardrails): type the embeddings moderation test parameters

* fix(guardrails): keep openai_moderations moderating embeddings, skip only google_text_moderation

Google's moderation scores topic categories like Finance and Health, so it blocks
documents being indexed by subject. OpenAI's moderation scores harm categories only,
so it keeps moderating embedding input as it has since v1.103.0

* fix(guardrails): skip Gigachat passthrough embeddings in google_text_moderation

Treat an allm_passthrough_route call whose endpoint ends in embeddings as
non-conversational, log the skip, return None from the early exit, and type
the hook's data so the basedpyright gate does not grow

* fix(guardrails): match only plain embeddings passthrough paths in google_text_moderation

Subject: [PATCH 07/45] feat!: add StreamLake provider metadata (#41006)

* feat: add StreamLake provider metadata

* fix(streamlake): complete provider discovery and test request flows

* test(streamlake): assert cost and tool-param invariants instead of pinning vendor prices

* fix(streamlake): accept tools and reasoning on endpoint ids and match the current price page

Endpoint ids have no cost-map row, so tools and reasoning_effort were rejected
before reaching StreamLake. The provider now declares both capabilities, and
named non-reasoning rows opt out explicitly.

The rows now follow StreamLake's 2026-09-17 price page: drop the KAT-Coder and
Qwen3 rows it no longer serves, add the served models that had no price, drop
account-level rpm and tpm, and fill missing context windows. StreamLake is also
registered for streamlake/* wildcards and its messages and responses support.

* fix(streamlake): regenerate the endpoint matrix and type the new tests

The backup endpoint matrix advertised chat only while the root map listed
Messages and Responses, so /public/endpoints hid both. Regenerating with
scripts/generate_provider_endpoints_support.py makes the two files match.
Types the StreamLake tests and sets the Add Model test's API key with
fireEvent.change, per the dashboard test guide.

* fix(streamlake): drop the retired max_tokens field from the StreamLake cost-map rows

* fix(streamlake): price the four served models StreamLake publishes rates for and add the Qwen3.8 cache prices

* fix(streamlake): send token caps as max_completion_tokens and mark image models

StreamLake ignores max_tokens on kimi-k2.6, kimi-k2.7-code, qwen3.6-27b and
qwen3.6-35b-a3b, while every served model honors max_completion_tokens, so
the JSON provider now maps max_tokens to max_completion_tokens instead of the
reverse. Rows whose models read an image in a live probe set supports_vision,
and the Qwen3.8 rows drop the explicit cache write price, which this route
never uses since cache_control is dropped

* fix(streamlake): keep cache_control marks, price explicit cache reads, and use API input limits

StreamLake reads cache_control, so the provider keeps the marks through a preserve_cache_control flag. Qwen3.8 explicit cache hits now use their own read price, rows with a cache read price declare prompt caching, three models StreamLake serves without reasoning drop reasoning_effort, and max_input_tokens follows the limits the API reports.

* fix(utils): warn when a custom_provider_map name matches a built-in provider

Subject: [PATCH 08/45] fix(proxy): let typesafe/* allowlists cover /typesafe
 Jev calls and list Jev in the model picker (#47697)

* fix(proxy): list TypeSafe Jev models in the admin model picker

* fix(proxy): let typesafe/* allowlists cover bare /typesafe Jev ids

Adds a typesafe-jev-ids routing rule to the cost map so a bare jev-* id resolves to TypeSafe, which lets typesafe/* on a key, team or project allowlist match /typesafe calls. The picker gate now only checks that a TypeSafe key is set, so an unresolvable OIDC reference cannot fail the listing, and the /v1/models route tests mock deployments with litellm_params like real ones.

* fix(typesafe): match only published Jev ids and keep picker loads off the secret manager

Narrows the typesafe-jev-ids rule to jev-latest, jev-preview and versioned ids so a model group such as jev-internal-router never resolves to TypeSafe, checks TYPESAFE_API_KEY in the environment instead of through the secret manager on each picker load, and moves the picker tests into the mapped test file.

* test(typesafe): type the picker test fixture and tests

* fix(typesafe): match only published Jev versions and cover non-version suffixes in tests

* fix(typesafe): match only priced Jev ids and offer TypeSafe in the no-team key picker

* fix(proxy): offer TypeSafe allowlist names only to the Admin UI allowlist pickers

The dashboard sends include_model_access_groups on every /models call, so
gate the TypeSafe names on wildcard routes too and skip access-group-only
listings. Also say the typesafe-jev-ids rule matches case-insensitively.

* fix(ui): offer only the TypeSafe names the cost-map rule routes, and keep /v1/models listing as on main

A typesafe/* router deployment registers typesafe/* in the cost map, so the
allowlist pickers offered a bare *, which allows every model. The pickers now
list only priced names the rule sends to TypeSafe. The non-expand list also
stops de-duplicating every entry and only skips TypeSafe names already listed.

Subject: [PATCH 09/45] feat(router): daily_reset_time picks when deployment
 rpd and tpd daily limits start over (#48957)

* feat(router): reset_time picks when deployment rpd and tpd daily limits start over

reset_time is "HH:MM" in UTC next to rpd/tpd in litellm_params or model_info. The daily cache keys are dated by now minus that offset and the daily 429 retry-after counts to the next reset, so a free tier whose provider quota resets at 08:00 UTC comes back at 08:00 instead of midnight. Without it the window stays the UTC calendar day.

* chore(ui): regenerate schema.d.ts with reset_time

* refactor(router): rpd, tpd and reset_time are read from litellm_params only

* feat(router): rename reset_time to daily_reset_time, drop the request-sent value, accept only HH:MM

* chore(ui): regenerate schema.d.ts for daily_reset_time

Subject: [PATCH 10/45] test(unit): keep unix socket paths in unit tests under
 the macOS AF_UNIX limit (#45040)

* test(proxy): keep the spend sidecar socket path under the macOS AF_UNIX limit

* test(unit): share the short socket fixtures across unit tests

Move socket_dir and socket_path to tests/unit/conftest.py so the datadog
redis test's absent socket fails for the right reason on a Mac, rename
the pgbouncer helper's directory argument, and record the rule in
tests/unit/AGENTS.md

* test(unit): fall back to /tmp when TMPDIR leaves no room for a socket path

socket_dir now uses /tmp when TMPDIR plus the longest socket suffix
would pass macOS's sun_path limit, and its teardown ignores errors so a
failed test reports only its own failure

* test(unit): keep socket fixtures inside tmp_path behind a short link

socket_dir now links a short temp directory to tmp_path, so artifacts keep
pytest's retention and a killed run leaks only an empty link. The fallback
to /tmp counts the temp directory in bytes, and socket_tempdir points
tempfile at it for the pooler tests whose socket directory production picks

 Unit tests must not depend on the current time or execution speed. Use fixed timestamps for fixtures

+A unix socket goes under the `socket_dir` or `socket_path` fixture, never `tmp_path`, whose paths run past macOS's

Subject: [PATCH 11/45] feat(ocr)!: support outputContentFormat=markdown for
 Azure Document Intelligence (#48926)

* feat(ocr): support outputContentFormat=markdown for Azure Document Intelligence

* fix(ocr): map only span endpoints when slicing Azure Markdown pages

* fix(ocr): accept any casing of outputContentFormat and report code point offsets

Azure reads outputContentFormat case-insensitively, so Markdown and TEXT
now map to the same values instead of returning 400. When the proxy asks
Azure for code point offsets to split Markdown pages, the response now
carries stringIndexType so callers know the unit of table and key-value
spans. Tests use rstest and the enum derives VariantArray per the Rust
workspace rules.

* fix(ocr): ask Azure for code point offsets only on prebuilt-layout and keep line-joined pages when spans are malformed

* fix(ocr): trim Azure DI outputContentFormat, accept output_content_format, and drop invalid values under drop_params

* fix(ocr): fall back to output_content_format when outputContentFormat is empty

Subject: [PATCH 12/45] feat(azure_ai): reach Foundry agents through the
 project Responses API (#47717)

* test(azure_ai): cover Foundry agents on the project Responses API

* feat(azure_ai): reach Foundry agents through the project Responses API

* fix(azure_ai): keep system prompts and project-endpoint auth on Foundry agent calls and follow-ups

* fix(azure_ai): read AZURE_SCOPE before the Foundry audience default on project endpoints

* fix(azure_ai): reject or drop instructions on previous_response_id turns and a caller's other agent for Foundry agents

* fix(azure_ai): apply the other-agent rule to agent_reference sent at the top level of a Foundry agent request

* fix(azure_ai): match the caller's agent by name and version, and hide the agent's own instructions

* fix(azure_ai): keep instructions on plain Foundry models that return a null agent_reference

* fix(azure_ai): keep a Foundry agent version requested at the top level when extra_body also names the agent

* fix(azure_ai): answer 400 for /responses/compact on a Foundry agent instead of calling the project with the agent name

Subject: [PATCH 13/45] docs(adrs): add ADRs for the Python SDK and proxy,
 starting with provider usage extras (#36668)

* docs(adr): add architecture decision records, starting with provider usage extras transport

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* docs(adrs): correct where provider usage extras survive and scope the live proof bar to runtime changes

* docs(adrs): say which chat transforms keep unknown usage keys and where a new field is passed

* docs(adrs): correct ADR 001's account of the xAI billing PR, date its code facts, and move the billing recipe to CONTRIBUTING.md

* docs(adrs): say the stream builder carries Anthropic's inference_geo by name and drops other extras

* docs(adrs): cover /v1/messages, the cost_per_token arm, and the Gemini tier side channel in the usage-field ADR and contribution guide

* docs(adrs): decide that usage extras reach callers and shared paths copy them, scope out provider-reported cost, and fix the proof steps

+## Proving Your Change Works End to End
+
+Tests are required, but they do not prove that your change works for a user. A PR that changes what the proxy or SDK does shows a real run in its "Screenshots / Proof of Fix" section, meaning the exact commands you sent to a live proxy and the output that came back, against real provider APIs and not mocks. `pytest` output does not count as proof, because a passing test only shows that the code does what its mocks expect. A PR that changes only docs or CI shows the rendered page or the CI run instead
+
+A good proof looks like this:
+
+1. Install the proxy dependencies with `make install-proxy-dev`, then start the proxy from your branch with a config that has the model you changed, `uv run litellm --config your_config.yaml --detailed_debug`
+2. Send the request a user would send with `curl`, and paste both the command and the response. When cost or routing is involved, include the response headers, since `x-litellm-response-cost` is what the user sees
+3. For a bug fix, do this twice, once at the merge base with BerriAI/litellm's main (`git merge-base origin/main HEAD`, with your remote for BerriAI/litellm in place of `origin` in a fork clone) to show the bug and once at your branch's latest commit to show the fix. Name both commit hashes
+4. If your change is reachable from more than one endpoint (`/v1/chat/completions`, `/v1/responses`, `/v1/messages`), show each one
+5. If the request can stream, show a `"stream": true` run too, because streaming builds usage and cost on a different path. A stream sends its headers before its usage exists, so show the `usage.cost` on the last chunk, which `/v1/chat/completions` sends when the request has `"stream_options": {"include_usage": true}` and other endpoints send with `include_cost_in_streaming_usage: true` under `litellm_settings`, or, when the proxy has a database, the request's row on the Admin UI's Logs page or `GET /spend/logs`
+6. For UI changes, add before and after screenshots and name the page
+7. If users reach your change through a coding tool such as Claude Code or Codex, drive that tool the way a user does and add before and after screenshots of it, because a `curl` or a headless run alone does not show what the user sees
+
+```bash
+curl -sD - http://localhost:4000/v1/chat/completions \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LITELLM_MASTER_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"model": "your-model", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "hi"}]}'
+```
+
+When the provider reports its own usage or spend numbers, compare the proxy's numbers against them in the proof
+
+## Contributing an LLM Provider Integration
+
+Provider work (a new provider, a new parameter, a new usage or cost field) is the most common kind of contribution, and it is where PRs get reworked most often. Follow these rules
+
+**Find the existing machinery before you add plumbing.** LiteLLM already has generic paths that move data between the endpoints, the provider transformations, and cost tracking. A second, hand-rolled path for the same data is a common reason a provider PR gets rewritten before merge. [`ARCHITECTURE.md`](ARCHITECTURE.md) shows where the layers live, and the decision records in [`docs/adrs/`](docs/adrs/AGENTS.md) explain why they are shaped that way. For example, [the ADR on provider usage fields](docs/adrs/adr_001_provider_usage_fields_ride_as_usage_extras.md) covers how provider-specific usage fields reach cost tracking. If you cannot find a mechanism for what you need, say so in the PR or ask in [#pr-review on Slack](https://join.slack.com/t/litellmossslack/shared_invite/zt-3o7nkuyfr-p_kbNJj8taRfXGgQI1~YyA) before you build one
+
+**Bill a new provider usage field from the usage object.** Leave the field on the usage object as an extra and read it in that provider's `cost_calculator.py`. A provider without one gets a new `cost_calculator.py` and an arm for it in `cost_per_token` (`litellm/cost_calculator.py`), which picks the calculator by provider. If the provider's transform builds `Usage` from named fields, as the Anthropic, Gemini, and Bedrock Converse ones do, pass the new field there too. Streamed requests rebuild usage in `ChunkProcessor.calculate_usage` (`litellm/litellm_core_utils/streaming_chunk_builder_utils.py`), which does not copy extras yet the way the Responses-to-chat bridge does (minus a short exclusion list), so until it does, bill the field on streams by naming it there, as Anthropic's `inference_geo` is. A provider that reports its own charge for the request, as OpenRouter does in `usage.cost`, is billed at that charge from `_hidden_params` before any calculator runs, unless the deployment sets its own prices. When the field counts a built-in tool such as web search, add the provider to `get_cost_for_web_search_request` in `litellm/llms/__init__.py`, and add a gate to `litellm/litellm_core_utils/llm_cost_calc/tool_call_cost_tracking.py` only when no existing gate fires. Then show the field's cost in your proof on every endpoint it reaches, streaming included
+
+**Do not change what a caller sees to make internals easier.** Each endpoint keeps the schema of the API it emulates. A `/v1/responses` caller gets `input_tokens` and a `/v1/chat/completions` caller gets `prompt_tokens`, whatever the provider sent and whatever cost tracking needs. A provider usage field that shows up as an extra key is fine, since it only adds a key, but renaming, removing, or reshaping a key the endpoint defines is not. Reshaping a public response to feed an internal consumer breaks every user of that endpoint
+
+If your change makes an architecture decision, such as a new cross-cutting mechanism or a deliberate difference from a provider's API shape, add an ADR to [`docs/adrs/`](docs/adrs/AGENTS.md) in the same PR

+# ADR 001: Provider usage fields ride as extras on the normalized usage object
+
+Status: Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+Providers report usage fields that no other provider has, such as xAI's `usage.server_side_tool_usage_details.web_search_calls` or Anthropic's `usage.inference_geo`, and cost tracking has to read them or that spend never reaches `LiteLLM_SpendLogs`. One provider response can be served on `/v1/chat/completions`, `/v1/responses`, and `/v1/messages`, streaming or not, so a field that only one of those paths carries is billed wrong on the others
+
+[#30817](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/pull/30817) fixed unbilled xAI web searches. One draft did the copy in the xAI Responses transform to keep provider code out of shared files, and that swapped `/v1/responses` usage to the chat shape, so callers of that endpoint lost the Responses schema. The merged version keeps the schema, copies unknown usage fields in the shared Responses-to-chat bridge for every provider, and gates on the reported field without naming the provider
+
+In October 2026, `Usage` and `ResponseAPIUsage` kept unknown usage keys as pydantic extras, and that bridge copied them. Paths that build usage from named fields kept only the fields they name: the Anthropic, Gemini, and Bedrock Converse transforms, the stream builder, and the bridges from chat usage to `/v1/responses` and `/v1/messages`
+
+## Decision
+
+Provider-only usage fields stay on the usage object as pydantic extras, and cost tracking reads them there, in that provider's cost calculator or in a shared gate that checks the field instead of the provider. An extra reaches callers as an added usage key. No transform renames, removes, or reshapes a usage field the endpoint's schema defines to feed cost tracking, though it may fill one LiteLLM's usage object already defines, such as `server_tool_use`
+
+A shared path that rebuilds usage, such as the stream builder or a bridge between endpoint shapes, copies the extras instead of naming provider fields. A provider transform that builds usage from named fields names the new field. Neither is bypassed with a side channel. Older code that differs, such as the Azure branches in the shared tracker and the Gemini pricing tier read from `_hidden_params`, predates this ADR
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+**Reshape usage in the provider transform**, as a draft of #30817 did. It changes the schema that callers of that endpoint rely on, and every provider and endpoint needs its own copy
+
+**A typed field on `ResponseAPIUsage` and `Usage` for each provider's quirk**. The types grow without bound and every bridge needs an update for each one. A field several providers report, like `server_tool_use`, does get one
+
+**A side channel such as `_hidden_params`**. Cost calculators receive `Usage`, so a side channel makes a second source of truth for the same number
+
+**Provider branches or provider field names in shared code**. They put one provider's logic in a file every provider shares, which is why #30817 replaced its xAI-only gate with one that checks the reported field
+
+## Consequences
+
+Benefits:
+
+- Billing a new provider usage field touches that provider's calculator (plus a `cost_per_token` arm when the calculator is new), its transform when that names fields, and for a built-in tool at most one gate and one `get_cost_for_web_search_request` arm
+
+Costs:
+
+- Extras are untyped, so a reader validates them before use, as `_usage_reports_server_side_web_search_calls` does
+- The stream builder and the bridges from chat usage did not copy extras when this was written, so until they do, a field billed on those paths is named in them, and tests and proof runs cover each endpoint and `"stream": true`
+- This covers usage fields LiteLLM prices, not request-side params or a provider's own charge for the request, which OpenRouter and opencode Go report and `response_cost_calculator` reads from `_hidden_params` first

Subject: [PATCH 14/45] fix(responses): drop the null created_by OpenAI rejects
 when output items are replayed (#48783)

* fix(responses): drop the null created_by OpenAI rejects when output items are replayed

* fix(responses): drop a null created_by from replayed input items too

A conversation saved from an older proxy still carries created_by: null on its compaction, apply_patch and shell items, so OpenAI keeps rejecting the replay. Drop the null from input items on the HTTP request transform and the WebSocket response.create rewrite, keeping a created_by that is not null.

* fix(responses): drop a null created_by from counted input items too

* test(responses): cover saved reasoning nulls and re-compaction of a saved conversation

* fix(responses): drop a set created_by from input under drop_params

* fix(types): type the Responses output serializer's parameters

* fix(responses): drop a set created_by on reasoning items and Perplexity presets under drop_params

Subject: [PATCH 15/45] fix(cli): give lite codex aliases of a Codex-known
 model that model's catalog entry (#48894)

* fix(cli): give lite codex aliases of a Codex-known model that model's catalog entry

lite codex built its Codex model catalog from /v1/models ids only, so a proxy
alias of a model Codex knows (api-gpt-6-luna for openai/gpt-6-luna) got the
fallback entry. That entry has no supports_search_tool or tool_mode, so Codex
sent every MCP and app tool inline and each turn cost far more input tokens.

lite now reads each listed model's upstream from the proxy's /v1/model/info
(team_public_model_name when set, else model_name, first deployment wins) and
passes it to the shared catalog builder, the same way the proxy's own Codex
route does. If that request fails, the catalog is built as before.

* fix(cli): give a lite codex alias an upstream only when all its deployments route to one OpenAI model

* fix(cli): cap a lite codex alias's context window at its listed max_input_tokens and count only OpenAI-hosted deployments

* fix(cli): keep Codex's tier, upgrade and reasoning defaults off lite codex aliases

* fix(cli): keep Codex's own effort, verbosity and promo off lite codex aliases and skip credential-hosted deployments

Subject: [PATCH 16/45] fix(proxy)!: enforce an end user's per-model budget
 from their linked budget (#48815)

* fix(proxy): enforce an end user's per-model budget from their linked budget

The shared auth checks now refuse a request once the end user's spend on
that model reaches the model_max_budget of their budget (a linked budget or
the default applied to them), for virtual keys and the master key alike.
The cap is read from the end-user row, since the master key's cached auth
object keeps whichever end user's limits it was cached with. The per-model
end-user check inside virtual-key validation is removed: it read a token
field that is never set there, so it never ran.

* fix(auth): enforce the end user's per-model budget on JWT auth and skip it on budget-exempt routes

JWT tokens now carry the end user's per-model caps so spend is charged against them and over-cap requests are refused. Routes that skip budget checks, like /spend/calculate, skip this check too. The proxy default end-user budget is covered by a test.

* fix(auth): write the end user's per-model cap onto every token and check it after the member fallback

The shared auth checks now resolve the end user's per-model cap, falling back to the key's or the proxy's default end-user budget when the end user has no row yet, and write it onto the token so the spend hook charges the cap the check enforces on every auth path. The check runs after the team-member budget fallback, on the model it picked, and the JWT builder's duplicate check is removed

* fix(auth): keep only a per-model end-user cap that custom auth itself set

A key-auth token reached through custom auth's auto hand-back now takes the current end user's cap, so a cached master-key or virtual-key object no longer carries an earlier end user's cap into another end user's request.

* test(auth): build the custom-auth token with model_copy instead of setting the flag in place

* test(auth): hold an end user to their own or their key's budget cap when the proxy has no default budget

* fix(proxy): give each request its own copy of a custom-auth token so end-user caps and ids stay per request

Subject: [PATCH 17/45] fix(context_management)!: count the system prompt
 toward the clear_tool_uses input_tokens trigger (#47857)

* fix(context_management): count the system prompt toward the clear_tool_uses input_tokens trigger

Anthropic's API compares an input_tokens trigger with the whole prompt, system
included; the polyfill counted messages and tools only, so it cleared late by the
system prompt's size. compact_20260112 already counts it: share its system_to_text.

* fix(context_management): take read-only types in the system prompt count

The type-discipline gate (LIT001) rejects new list and dict annotations.

* chore: rerun CI (proxy-build-from-pip timed out)

* fix(context_management): count the system prompt through compact's shared counter

Finishes the main merge's conflict in clear_tool_uses.py. The input_tokens trigger now adds the system prompt through count_system_tokens, the same counter compact uses, while the count reused for cleared_input_tokens stays messages and tools only, so the reported savings are just the cleared tool results

* perf(context_management): skip the token count when nothing can be cleared

The keep check runs before the trigger count, the system prompt reader accepts any mapping block, and the system prompt test gets short parameter ids

* test(context_management): keep the off-loop count test counting after the keep check moved first

* test(context_management): cover a client compaction summary counting toward the trigger

The trigger also skips the system prompt count when messages and tools alone already pass it

* fix(context_management): move a client compaction summary into the system prompt when clearing runs before compact

* fix(context_management): clear only the history after a client compaction block so compact still replaces its summary

* fix(context_management): keep tool calls beside a client compaction block clearable

Subject: [PATCH 18/45] fix(google_genai): read one-object and null spellings
 of repeated fields in countTokens and generateContent (#48771)

* fix(count_tokens): normalize Google system parts and null tools

* fix(count_tokens): preserve typed validator return

* fix(count_tokens): validate single system part without typing.cast

* fix(count_tokens): accept every Google spelling of a repeated field

Google countTokens now reads a repeated field sent as one object, null, or a
list with null items the same way as its list form, for system parts, tools,
and function declarations, matching what Vertex accepts.

* fix(count_tokens): read every Google spelling of contents and skip null system text

contents and each content's parts now read one object, null, and null items like their list form, the same as system parts and tools. A one-object parts used to translate to no messages, so non-Google models counted it as empty. A system part whose text is null is skipped, as Vertex AI does.

* fix(google_genai): read null-text media system parts as media and one-object content parts on generateContent

* fix(google_proxy): count null-text system parts that carry only part metadata, like Vertex AI

A system part with null or missing text and only metadata such as thought or thoughtSignature, or an empty part, now counts as empty instead of answering 400. Parts that carry an image or file with null text still answer 400.

Subject: [PATCH 19/45] fix(proxy)!: stop labelling management and health
 rejections as auth failures (#48739)

* test(proxy): cover management and health routes labelling rejections as auth failures

* fix(proxy): name management and health route errors by their status instead of auth_error

* fix(proxy): keep auth_error for 401 and 403 and answer database outages with 503 in route catch-alls

/key/list and /key/aliases now share the catch-all helper too, so they stop
adding the Authentication Error prefix and typing a 400 as internal_server_error

* fix(proxy): answer 503 when the database drops mid-query and prisma fails to name the error

A real outage surfaces from prisma's query engine as a builtin AttributeError, which the
prisma-module check skipped, so the route catch-alls still answered 500 or 400

* fix(proxy): report wrapped and stalled database outages as 503 and label upstream failures by their own status

* fix(proxy): answer the upstream status on the catch-all, keep auth_error on tag denials, report model insert outages as 503

* fix(proxy): answer 503 for database failovers and label provider auth errors like chat

A database that refuses connections while starting up, shutting down, in
recovery, or read-only after a failover now answers 503 no_db_connection
instead of 400. A provider's 401 or 403 keeps the type /chat/completions
gives it, while a 401 or 403 the proxy raises keeps auth_error. An
exception with no message is named by its type.

* fix(proxy): scope failover 503s to management route errors and keep a re-raised error's cause

* test(proxy): expect the OpenAI error shape from management route refusals

Team-not-found 404s now answer invalid_request_error, and every handler-raised refusal answers param null instead of the string None.

Subject: [PATCH 20/45] test(json_fragment_accumulator): assert peak allocation
 instead of a drain timing ratio (#43370)

* test(json_fragment_accumulator): assert peak allocation instead of a drain timing ratio

The drain regression guard compared the wall-clock time of draining 80,000 values against 40,000 and tripped its 3x bound whenever the CI runner was busy. A cursor drain allocates only per-value decode scratch while every re-slice of the remainder copies it, so the guard now bounds peak allocation during the drain, which does not move with runner load and still fails on every quadratic variant

* test(json_fragment_accumulator): widen the drain's peak bound to a quarter of the payload

* test(json_fragment_accumulator): guard copying drains by peak memory and rescanning drains by CPU-time scaling

* test(json_fragment_accumulator): move the drain's timing guard from the unit suite into a CodSpeed benchmark

* test(json_fragment_accumulator): measure only the pops after the buffer is joined, so a drain that copies once passes

* test(json_fragment_accumulator): separate every other streamed value with a space, so a copy after whitespace fails the drain test

 echoes its masked read-back (#48950)

* test(credentials): pin that PATCH keeps the stored secret when it echoes the masked read-back

* fix(credentials): keep the stored secret when PATCH echoes its masked read-back

* fix(credentials): only treat a mask on a key GET masks as a placeholder

PATCH now skips mask-shaped values only on the keys get_masked_values masks, using the masker's own keyword check, so a value like api_base ab****cd is saved as sent again. Also drops the new test docstrings and tightens the new test helper types

 ## Screenshots / Proof of Fix
 
 <!-- Include screenshots, screen recordings, or command (e.g., curl) + output demonstrating that your changes work as expected
-     The proof must be completely e2e with no mocks, using actual LLM calls costing real $$$ if applicable. `pytest` commands are not enough
-     Show ONLY the latest run: capture Before at the merge base and After at the PR's current tip, and when new commits change behavior, replace this whole section with the fresh run instead of stacking it on top of older ones. The run must be up to date. As soon as a new commit is made and it makes this PR description's after sha stale (it's no longer tip of PR), you must re-run the QA
-     Structure the section exactly as below: Before and After one heading level below this section, each naming the commit hash it was captured at, one lower-level heading per case inside each, the same case names in the same order on both sides, and numbered steps (command, observed output) under every case, never loose prose; shared setup (config, payloads) goes above Before, and with a single case, drop the case headings and number the steps directly
+     Simple PR exception (2026-10-28, #49030). A mechanical change fully proven by focused checks may skip before/after e2e. Follow AGENTS.md's eligibility rule, trace callers, and verify bug-fix regression sensitivity. Record E2E exception at <tip SHA>, scope, rationale, commands and results here. Tests/static checks suffice only for this exception. Keep CI and bot gates, reassess changed diffs, and honor explicit e2e requests. Omit the Before/After scaffold for an exception
+     Otherwise proof must be fully e2e, no mocks, with real provider calls where applicable. Pytest alone is insufficient. The following format applies to live proof
+     Show only the latest proof. Before uses the merge base and After the tested tip. Rerun affected QA after behavior changes. Verified neutral diffs may carry proof with the tested SHA, current tip, equivalence reason and focused checks, following AGENTS.md and /qa
+     Use matching Before/After case headings with numbered commands and observed output. Put shared setup above them. For one case, omit case headings

-Never use `pytest` commands or the like as "Screenshots / Proof of Fix". We prefer curl'ing a live proxy instance running on localhost:4000 (I like to run it with `python litellm/proxy/proxy_cli.py --config litellm/proxy/dev_config.yaml --detailed_debug --reload --use_v2_migration_resolver 2>&1 | tee litellm.log`. The Admin UI dev server is `npm run dev` in `ui/litellm-dashboard`, served on port 3000) and showing both the command run and the output. Also, it should hit real LLM provider APIs, not mocks, and cost real $$$ because that is the most realistic test. The proof of fix should be exactly what the end user / customer would see / do. The run logs in PR #27703 is a prime example of how to do it (not a huge fan of using a python test script that future me and the team will have no visibility into. I prefer just curl commands or a short list of bash commands (e.g., using `for`)). If it's a UI thing, or the main use case runs through a headful agentic coding tool like Claude Code or Codex, drive that surface yourself and embed your own before and after screenshots of it in the PR (the Admin UI page, or what the coding tool shows), next to an ordered list of the URLs to go to (e.g., http://localhost:4000/ui/?page=logs), where to click, and what fields to fill out so a reviewer can reproduce it
+Simple PRs may skip before/after e2e when the full diff is mechanical and focused checks completely prove it, such as #49030 restoring an existing helper name. Trace affected callers and run relevant tests/static checks at the tip. For a bug fix, establish that the regression catches the original defect. Size alone never qualifies. New behavior, API/provider semantics, auth, billing, persistence, concurrency or uncertain integration risk need live e2e. In Screenshots / Proof of Fix, record `E2E exception at <tip SHA>`, scope, rationale, commands and results. Tests count as proof only for this exception. Reassess changed diffs, retain CI/bot gates, and honor explicit e2e requests (2026-10-28, unnecessary live QA for #49030)
+
+For other PRs, proof must show the end user's real flow before and after, with commands and output against a live proxy and real provider calls where applicable. Pytest alone is insufficient. For UI or interactive coding-tool flows, drive that surface and embed before/after screenshots, with URLs, clicks and input fields a reviewer can reproduce

Subject: [PATCH 24/45] fix(proxy): enforce team and key Allowed Vector Stores
 when no vector store registry is loaded (#48915)

* test(proxy): cover team and key vector store allowlists when no vector store registry is loaded

* fix(proxy): enforce team and key Allowed Vector Stores when no vector store registry is loaded

* fix(proxy): skip non-string vector_store_ids entries instead of failing auth

* fix(proxy): answer 400 on a malformed vector_store_ids in legacy mode too

Legacy vector store access checks now parse the request the same way vector_store_deny_by_default does, so a vector_store_ids that is not a list of strings is a 400 with or without a registry.

* fix(proxy): honor drop_params and a tool's string vector_store_ids in the legacy vector store check

Under drop_params the check reads the stores registry retrieval uses instead of answering 400, and retrieval reads only the string entries of a top-level list. Without it, a tool's single string id is checked as one store, the way the registry reads it.

* fix(proxy): honor deployment and router drop settings for a malformed vector_store_ids

* test(proxy): drop vector store registry mocks the access check no longer reads

* fix(auth): answer 400 for a malformed vector_store_ids only under a key or team allowlist

* fix(auth): match managed vector store ids by their provider store and read a string id as one store

A LiteLLM-managed store id now matches an allowlist entry for the provider store it decodes to, in both
directions, so an allowlist naming store A no longer refuses A's managed id. A top-level vector_store_ids
string, which is how ?vector_store_ids= arrives, is checked as one store id instead of answering 400.
Registry retrieval reads an SDK tuple of ids again

Subject: [PATCH 26/45] fix(responses): stream every citation batch before
 completion (#48747)

* fix(responses): stream every citation batch before completion

* test(responses): cover citations arriving before answer text

* fix(responses): close reasoning before a citation opens the message item

* test(responses): build citation batches without rebinding locals

* fix(responses): hold citations until reasoning closes

Citations that arrive while reasoning streams now wait and stream once the message item opens, so a citation no longer ends reasoning early. Annotation events also stop sending sequence_number, matching the text deltas.

* fix(responses): keep held citations when reasoning ends without answer text

A citation that arrives before the answer message opens now waits for the
message, then streams once text arrives or at stream end when the final
response has a message. A disconnect keeps the held citation in the billed
response, and a tool call with no answer text no longer streams a message
item that response.completed lacks.

* fix(responses): keep a held citation's message ahead of the next tool call

When the answer already has content, a citation held before the message opens now opens it before the next tool call takes its output index, so the stream and response.completed keep the message ahead of the function call like the non-streaming response.

* test(responses): simplify citation comprehensions

* test(responses): set the new citation state on the hand-built streaming iterator

* fix(responses): keep held citations ahead of tool calls and in the final message

A citation that arrived before a tool call with no answer text was dropped from response.completed and the non-streaming response, because the final transform built a message only when content was set. Keep an empty-text message for those citations, and flush a held citation before the next tool call opens, so the streamed message stays ahead of the function call.

* test(responses): annotate the cited tool call test locals as Final

Subject: [PATCH 27/45] fix(token_counter): count OpenAI models newer than
 tiktoken's table with o200k_base (#48728)

* fix(token_counter): count OpenAI models newer than tiktoken's table with o200k_base

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(token_counter): keep tiktoken's encoding for suffixed variants of models it knows

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* test(token_counter): move the o200k provenance note into the assert message

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(token_counter): strip openai/ and azure/ prefixes before picking the encoding

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* test(rust_bridge): azure/gpt-4o now resolves to o200k_base

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(token_counter): check the provider prefix through _fix_model_name to keep the type gate flat

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* test(token_counter): check o200k on the gpt-6 models tiktoken 0.14 still does not know

* fix(token_counter): count Azure deployment names and OpenAI alias groups with their OpenAI tokenizer

* fix(token_counter): count mixed, alias, and base-model deployments with every served model's tokenizer

A group that serves OpenAI and non-OpenAI models now reserves at least each served model's count, model_group_alias names count as their target group, custom Azure deployment names count with their base model, and azure_ai/, chatgpt/ and similar prefixes resolve to the listed OpenAI model.

* fix(token_counter): keep mixed groups on OpenAI tokenizers, cache served models, and count context checks, failed rows and stream fallback with the served model

* fix(token-counter): keep mixed groups at their old reservation and count new OpenAI release names with o200k

A group that serves an OpenAI model next to another vendor now counts its own name the way tiktoken reads it as written, plus its OpenAI models, so it reserves what main did instead of the lower o200k count

base_model picks the tokenizer for estimated usage only when it names an OpenAI model, now also in the Cursor stream counter and the output-limit response

Unlisted gpt-5+ and o-series names count with o200k_base, and wildcard routes run the context-window check with the matched OpenAI model

* fix(token-counter): count an alias to a group no OpenAI model serves by the alias as written

Keeps the count main gives such an alias, so its budget reservation and rate limit match main and no other vendor's tokenizer loads for it. Also sorts the import the main merge left unsorted.

* test: type the new token-counting tests' parameters

* fix(token-counter): count a release-named group no OpenAI model serves as main does, and snapshot the OpenAI model set before iterating it

* fix(token-counter): read served models through the router's allowlisted deployments_named, and coordinate the registration race test

* perf(token-counter): classify each distinct served model once when walking a model group

Budgeted requests walk every deployment in their model group, since the
router's cached copy is outside the router surface the proxy may use.
Classifying each distinct served model once instead of once per
deployment cuts a 200-deployment group from 2.3-4.5 ms to about 1.4 ms
with the same result.

 - API-fragmentation-aware: when logic must branch on which API surface produced or consumes data (e.g. chat completions vs Anthropic Messages vs Responses API shapes), proactively look for an existing shared helper (e.g. `litellm_core_utils/prompt_templates/factory.py`) before writing per-surface parsing in the new module. If none exists, add one there instead of duplicating the same format-detection logic in every new guardrail/integration
+- Current default for new model names: logic that picks behavior from a model-name table (tokenizer, message framing, supported params) gives a provider's model the table does not list yet that provider's current behavior, never its oldest, since providers ship names faster than any table is updated

Subject: [PATCH 28/45] fix(cost_map): mark fireworks_ai/minimax-m3 as vision
 and pin capabilities verified against live calls (#43390)

* fix(cost_map): mark fireworks_ai/minimax-m3 as vision and pin capabilities verified against live calls

Fireworks' serverless minimax-m3 answers image inputs, but its model
listings say supports_image_input false, so the last two registry syncs
flipped supports_vision back to false and the Fireworks pre-flight turned
every image request into a 400 without ever calling the provider.

Flip both minimax-m3 rows back to supports_vision true and record the
live-call evidence in ci_cd/cost_map_pins.json. The cost map guard now
fails any PR that lowers a pinned capability, quoting the evidence, and
the sync bot may not touch the pins file.

* fix(cost_map): fail the guard when the pins file is missing

* fix(cost_map_guard): skip the pin checks on a branch cut before the pins file existed

* fix(ci): check cost map pins against the merge result and keep price sync PRs off the pins file

* fix(ci): run the cost map guard against the live base branch tip and re-run it when main's pins change

* fix(ci): pass the live base tip to the cost map guard through env and re-run every guard run on a pin change

main now runs the guard on pull_request with the base branch's copy of the script, so the workflow passes the
live tip in COST_MAP_GUARD_TARGET, which the older script ignores. The recheck reads past GraphQL's 100-file
cap, re-runs every guard run for a shared head, and fails when a re-run cannot start. The guard tells a merge
conflict apart from a failed merge-tree call.

* fix(ci): run the cost map pins recheck on litellm_ base branches too

* fix(ci): bar bot-opened PRs from the pins, recheck pin PRs on cost map changes, and skip the merge for untouched PRs

* fix(ci): read the pushed files from the compare API in the cost map pins recheck

The push event GitHub hands to Actions leaves each commit's added, modified and
removed lists null, so the recheck never saw a pins change and re-ran only the PRs
that touch the pins. Compare the push's before and after commits instead, and
re-check every cost map PR when the branch is new, the push was forced, the
compare fails, or it lists 300 files, the most it returns.

+Every pull request whose diff against its merge base touches one of the two cost map files or the pins file gets the
+file checks: the files parse, the backup copy matches the root file, and every capability pinned in
+ci_cd/cost_map_pins.json (a value verified against a live provider call where the provider's model listing says
+otherwise) still holds in the tree that merging the pull request into its base branch produces, so a branch cut before
+a pin was added cannot lower it, and a pull request that deletes the pins file fails too. A pull request that leaves
+all three untouched skips them, since merging it keeps the base branch's copies and its head tree only carries
+whatever state the branch was cut from. Pull requests from the cost map sync bot (branches named
+litellm_cost_map_sync_*) always get the file checks and additionally may only touch the two cost map files and may
+only add or update models, so a sync can never lower a pinned capability or edit the pins. Price sync pull requests
+(branches named litellm-providers/price-sync*) and pull requests a bot account opened (COST_MAP_GUARD_AUTHOR_TYPE is
+Bot) get the human checks and may not touch the pins file either.

Subject: [PATCH 29/45] feat(responses): support Codex client tool_search on
 Anthropic and other bridged providers (#48972)

* feat(responses): support Codex client tool_search on Anthropic and other bridged providers

* test(router): cover get_search_tool_support provider defaults and model_info overrides

* fix(responses): keep tools loaded by earlier Codex tool searches across previous_response_id

* perf(responses): read stored turns once on client tool search continuations

* fix(router): avoid OAuth refreshes when listing search capabilities

* test(cli): expect disabled search on fallback Codex models

Subject: [PATCH 30/45] fix(proxy)!: list every priced Vertex family under a
 vertex_ai/* grant (#41959)

* fix(proxy): list every priced Vertex family under a vertex_ai/* grant

A vertex_ai/* key listed none of the 68 cost map rows priced under the
Mistral, Llama, Qwen, AI21, OpenAI, image, video and embedding labels
because their sets were never part of the vertex_ai union, and Qwen rows
had no ingestion branch at all. Wildcard expansion also dropped a meta/
or openai/ publisher segment as if it were a provider prefix, and the
wildcard health check would have picked $0-per-token rows first once the
union grew, so it now sorts paid rows ahead of unpriced ones. The
VERTEX_FAMILIES_A_VERTEX_WILDCARD_GRANT_DOES_NOT_LIST allowlist is gone
so the cost map guard enforces every label from now on.

* fix(health): route every wildcard health-check pick through the listed provider

* fix(health-check): keep per-character-billed rows ahead of rows priced $0 everywhere in the wildcard pick

* fix(health-check): break $0-per-token ties toward per-character-billed rows in the wildcard pick

* fix(health): only health-check ids the router sends to the provider

The wildcard health check picker now skips ids that get_llm_provider routes to a different provider or to none, so the longer vertex_ai union cannot pull partner rows into the check. Drops the forced custom_llm_provider and the per-character tie-break from earlier revisions, and pins the replicate and wandb wildcard listing to each row's full owner id.

* fix(health): match wildcard health picks against the provider's own route

The previous check kept a bare id only when get_llm_provider routed it to the
exact provider name, which dropped every ai21 row because bare ai21 ids route
to the ai21_chat alias, so ai21/* health checks sent no request.

Compare the bare id's route with the route of the provider-prefixed id
instead, so aliases match. Resolve routes with inferred_provider, which
returns the declared provider for github_copilot and chatgpt without
starting their device-code login.

* fix(health): keep wildcard health picks that only route through a saved custom_llm_provider

Rank picks routed to the checked provider first and ids routed to no provider
second, each by cost, and skip only ids routed to a different provider, so a
wildcard saved with custom_llm_provider still sends its health request

* refactor(vertex_ai): mark the new Vertex registry sets Final

* chore: re-run CI against current main

Subject: [PATCH 32/45] feat(providers): add BigModel support and model pricing
 (#48563)

* feat: add BigModel provider with native Chat, Responses, and Messages APIs

Co-authored-by: Bytechoreographer <Bytechoreographer@users.noreply.github.com>

* test(providers): make BigModel unit tests a package

Co-authored-by: Bytechoreographer <Bytechoreographer@users.noreply.github.com>

* docs(providers): clarify BigModel parameter interface

Co-authored-by: Bytechoreographer <Bytechoreographer@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(bigmodel): keep the Coding Plan base, surface Responses auth errors, and scope routes

Chat Completions keeps a GLM Coding Plan api_base. Responses raises the status from
BigModel's success=false body instead of returning an empty 200, and a JSON body
answering a stream request is replayed as a one-shot stream. Messages streams keep
ping and [DONE] lines. bigmodel leaves openai_compatible_providers so speech, image,
and transcription routes send it no request

* fix(responses): replay a JSON body on a stream request only when it has a Content-Length

A gateway that labels a chunked SSE stream as application/json kept streaming before
the replay, so only a sized body is read in full

* fix(bigmodel): scope the JSON stream replay to BigModel, map its business error codes, and echo requested tools

* fix(bigmodel): forward Codex's include and parallel_tool_calls, keep the OpenAI org header off BigModel, and pass unchanged Messages stream events through

* fix(bigmodel): map disabled thinking to low effort, keep Messages temperature, raise context window and content policy errors, and default parallel_tool_calls to true

* fix(bigmodel): keep the caller's reasoning_effort when Messages rewrites disabled thinking

* fix(bigmodel): keep context-window and content-policy errors on streamed Responses replays

+# BigModel (Zhipu AI)
+
+Use `bigmodel/` for the domestic BigModel platform and `zai/` for international Z.AI. Each platform uses its own credentials and default URL
+
+```yaml
+model_list:
+  - model_name: glm
+    litellm_params:
+      model: bigmodel/glm-5.3
+      api_key: os.environ/BIGMODEL_API_KEY
+      api_base: https://open.bigmodel.cn
+```
+
+One model configuration supports all three native APIs. The provider selects the upstream endpoint from the requested API
+
+| Proxy endpoint | BigModel endpoint |
+| --- | --- |
+| `/v1/chat/completions` | `/api/paas/v4/chat/completions` |
+| `/v1/responses` | `/api/v1/responses` |
+| `/v1/messages` | `/api/anthropic/v1/messages` |
+
+`api_base` is optional and defaults to `https://open.bigmodel.cn`. Set `BIGMODEL_API_BASE` to override the default, or pass an explicit `api_base` to override the environment value. Existing API-specific base URLs and complete endpoint URLs are normalized, preserving a custom proxy's path prefix
+
+A GLM Coding Plan key uses `https://open.bigmodel.cn/api/coding/paas/v4` as its `api_base`, since Coding Plan and standard keys do not work on each other's endpoints. Chat Completions then calls the Coding Plan endpoint, and Responses and Messages keep the endpoints in the table above
+
+The Admin UI lists BigModel (Zhipu AI), displays its official logo, and provides a required password API Key field and an optional API Base field with the default URL. Authentication uses an explicit `api_key` or `BIGMODEL_API_KEY`
+
+```python
+import litellm
+
+chat = litellm.completion(
+    model="bigmodel/glm-5.3",
+    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
+    thinking={"type": "enabled"},
+    reasoning_effort="low",
+)
+
+response = litellm.responses(
+    model="bigmodel/glm-5.3",
+    input="Hello",
+    reasoning={"effort": "low"},
+    store=True,
+)
+
+async def messages():
+    return await litellm.anthropic.messages.acreate(
+        model="bigmodel/glm-5.3",
+        max_tokens=1024,
+        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
+        thinking={"type": "adaptive"},
+        output_config={"effort": "low"},
+    )
+```
+
+Each API retains its native response format and streaming events. The native Messages SDK entry point is asynchronous, as is the proxy's `/v1/messages` route
+
+GLM-5.3, GLM-5.3-Flash, and GLM-5.3-FlashX use always-on thinking. GLM-5.3 supports `low`, `high`, and `max` reasoning effort. Messages preserves native `thinking`, `output_config`, and `reasoning_effort` parameters
+
+Set `store=True` when creating a Responses request if you need continuation, retrieval, or deletion. Use the response ID returned by LiteLLM. BigModel documents a seven-day retention period and does not support cancel, compact, native WebSocket, or file_search
+
+The model catalog and packaged backup include GLM-5.3, GLM-5.3-Flash, and GLM-5.3-FlashX. Prices are expressed in USD/token using a static 7.0 CNY/USD conversion, with the source and verification date in each entry's metadata. Use existing `litellm_params` cost fields for contract-specific deployment prices

Subject: [PATCH 33/45] fix(health)!: openai realtime health check reports
 healthy with a missing or invalid api key (#41233)

* fix(health): report openai realtime deployments with a missing or invalid api key as unhealthy

* fix(health): time out a silent openai realtime handshake and keep the first-event parsing in the openai handler

* fix(health): treat invalid_model as healthy, read the first event only on OpenAI hosts, map rate limits to 429

* fix(health): respect the global api_base, report a missing key as 401, keep invalid_model healthy only for known models

Drop the separate first-event timeout so model_info.health_check_timeout governs the wait, and keep the shared stream error table unchanged by raising AuthenticationError for invalid_api_key in the realtime check

* fix(health): keep invalid_model healthy unless the cost map lists the model outside realtime, and load realtime types lazily

* fix(health): read the cost map's listed endpoints, not its mode, since registering a realtime deployment overwrites the mode

* fix(health): read a realtime gateway's first event and keep Live deployments listing /v1/live healthy

Behind a custom api_base the OpenAI realtime health check now waits up to
3 seconds for the first event, so a gateway that passes on OpenAI's
invalid_api_key error reports unhealthy while a silent gateway stays
healthy. /v1/live counts as a realtime endpoint for the invalid_model rule.

Subject: [PATCH 34/45] fix(responses): replay the original Responses item
 order, phase, and boundaries on the next chat turn (#48912)

* fix(responses): replay the original Responses item order, phase, and boundaries on the next chat turn

* fix(responses): keep tool-call-only stream content empty and drop unreachable replay guards

* fix(responses): reject an assistant phase OpenAI does not define unless drop_params is set

* fix(responses): keep other providers' reasoning and stream output unchanged and fall back on records that do not fit

* fix(responses): label a structured output turn with its returned message's phase and keep lone surrogates from failing the checksum

* fix(responses): leave a turn without a phase when its content message cannot be read

* test(responses): add black box tests for chat turn history replay

* test(responses): expect the replay record on bridged chat replies

* test(responses): expect the replay record in bridged chat translation cases

* fix(streaming): keep the served service tier on the finish chunk the stream adds

* test(responses): read the expected chat message without JSON validation so the replay matcher stays

Subject: [PATCH 35/45] fix(responses): resume background response streams with
 stream and starting_after (#48819)

* fix(responses): resume background response streams with stream and starting_after

Retrieving a response with stream=true and starting_after=N now returns the
replayed event stream from OpenAI and Azure instead of one JSON object, on the
SDK (get_responses / aget_responses) and on the proxy's GET /v1/responses/{id}

Providers that cannot replay a stored stream drop the params under drop_params
and raise UnsupportedParamsError without it. Malformed values answer 400 with
the param named. A replay that reaches its terminal event settles the
background response's bill once and passes the provider's usage through
without estimating one. An empty replay (cursor at the end) ends normally

* fix(responses): encrypt replayed stream ids and resume Azure AI Foundry streams

A replayed background stream now gets the same response id encryption as a
created one, so the key that made the response can reuse the id. Azure AI
Foundry deployments resume streams like Azure ones, and the chat-bridged
Responses iterator closes its wrapped stream instead of raising.

* fix(responses): drop malformed resume params under drop_params and keep JSON answers to a streamed retrieve

A bad stream flag drops to a plain retrieve and a bad cursor to a full replay when drop_params is on, and a cursor without stream is ignored even when malformed. A streamed retrieve that the upstream answers with JSON returns the response object instead of an empty stream. get_responses forwards only the include keys from extra_query.

* fix(responses): give proxy stream resumes the deployment stream_timeout and document retrieve query params

* fix(responses): keep deployment stream off retrieves and reject oversized cursors

* fix(responses): keep router default stream off plain retrieves

* test(responses): black box coverage for resume refusals, drop_params, stream timeout and billing

* test(responses): replay a real stream in the billing test and type the fake wrapper chunks

Subject: [PATCH 36/45] test(integration): scope the signoz, otel conversation
 id, and series cap proxy fixtures to their module (#48965)

* test(integration): scope the signoz, otel conversation id, and series cap proxy fixtures to their module

Session scope booted one 2-worker proxy per xdist worker and kept it until the
worker's session ended, so a CircleCI node holding two of these files piled up
proxies until the VM stopped responding. Module scope lets the harness group
each file's rig tests onto one worker and tears the proxies down after them.

* docs(tests): keep proxy fixtures module scoped in integration tests

* docs(tests): say how the harness groups proxy fixtures in the integration AGENTS.md rule

Subject: [PATCH 37/45] fix(anthropic): drop the non-spec custom object from
 /v1/messages tool definitions (#48893)

* fix(anthropic): drop the non-spec custom object from /v1/messages tool definitions

Anthropic and Vertex AI reject a tool carrying a custom object with tools.N.custom.custom: Extra inputs are not permitted. Drop it on the shared Anthropic request path, keep the hoist of a boolean custom.defer_loading to top-level defer_loading, reuse the helper on Bedrock, and stop the chat adapter from merging custom into the tool's JSON schema

* fix(messages): hoist custom.defer_loading only on Claude routes and strip custom on count_tokens

Non-Claude Messages providers such as DeepSeek now get custom dropped without a defer_loading hoist, since they have no tool search. /v1/messages/count_tokens on Anthropic, Azure AI, and Vertex AI drops custom too, and the local token counter no longer counts it as schema.

* fix(anthropic): drop tool custom object only under drop_params and hoist defer_loading for Claude models

Without drop_params the tool is forwarded as sent, so the provider's 400 stands. A boolean custom.defer_loading still becomes the top-level flag for Claude models and on Bedrock Invoke and Mantle. Bedrock count_tokens now normalizes invokeModel tools the way Bedrock Messages sends them.

* fix(bedrock): drop tool custom object on the Mantle count_tokens fallback

Mantle Messages drops custom unconditionally, so its count_tokens call now counts the tools the same way.

* fix(messages): keep custom-tool Messages calls on Python and match Mantle count_tokens to Mantle Messages

* test(vertex): annotate count_tokens tool test locals with Final

* fix(messages): pass tools without custom through untouched so Bedrock fallbacks keep filled tool names

* fix(messages): keep Bedrock's in-place tool cleanup so fallbacks still work, and stop hoisting defer_loading on the OpenAI-like passthrough

Subject: [PATCH 38/45] fix(responses): drop a malformed
 prompt_cache_breakpoint under drop_params on the direct /v1/responses path
 (#45330)

* fix(responses): drop a malformed prompt_cache_breakpoint under drop_params on the direct /v1/responses path

* refactor(responses): reuse the shared prompt_cache_breakpoint_for_wire helper in the chat bridge

* fix(responses): read a non-flag deployment drop_params as unset in the marker walk, like the param mapper

* fix(responses): drop every prompt_cache_breakpoint under drop_params when the model has no breakpoints

Also drop a marker set on the message item itself, sanitize before the
cache_control conversion so a client typo no longer erases that breakpoint,
and skip items that carry no marker so unmarked history costs no extra walk

* fix(responses): keep a valid prompt_cache_breakpoint unless the model is known to reject it

A deployment alias the cost map does not know (an Azure deployment name, a fine-tune, a
litellm_proxy alias) kept its valid markers before this PR and must keep them under
drop_params. base_model is read from litellm_params first, then model_info, as chat
completions does.

* fix(responses): drop a valid marker on known non-breakpoint models and keep the tool schema gate unchanged

* fix(responses): judge breakpoint support by model name so cost-map aliases keep valid markers

* fix(responses): keep the caller's request stripped of cache_control as before when a marker is copied

* fix(responses): keep valid prompt cache markers in place and let cache_control fill a dropped one

Under drop_params the marker step now hands back the caller's own objects when every marker is
already wire-safe, so a request with valid markers is no longer copied and walked a second time.

A deployment that turns cache_control into markers keeps the caller's own markers too, whatever
its base_model says, so one request never gets two answers about breakpoint support.

On /v1/messages a malformed raw marker next to cache_control is dropped before the conversion,
so the block gets the cache hint cache_control alone would give, as on /v1/responses.

* test(responses): keep a null marker and the original key order on a model that reads breakpoints

Subject: [PATCH 39/45] test: fix flaky spend-log cleanup budget, login
 lockout, and wedged Redis tests (#47108)

* test: stabilize cleanup, lockout, and post-kill timing tests

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

* test(integration): bound the wedged Redis burst p95 by the socket timeout the test sets

The burst p95 under a fixed 0.75s cap tracked how fast the box ran the 30
concurrent writes, so a loaded runner failed it at unchanged code. A handler
that waits on the wedged publish takes at least the coordination Redis socket
timeout, so the test now sets that timeout and asserts the p95 stays under it.

* test: pin the lockout clock and bound the wedged Redis burst by the proxy's 2s wait cap

The lockout tests now set the login throttle's clock instead of reading the real one, so Retry-After is pinned at 77 and a round-down fails on every run

The wedged Redis burst p95 is now bounded by the 2s cap the proxy puts on its own Redis waits, so a burst wait capped under the 5s socket timeout still fails the test

The fresh post-kill clients keep the harness's 2s keep-alive expiry, here and in the two tests #47080 changed

* test: tell ceil from round in the lockout tests and bound the burst by the imported eviction cap

The refused attempt now runs with 76.4s left on the 77s block, where ceil gives 77 but round and int give 76, so
both lockout tests fail if Retry-After stops rounding up.

The burst bound imports _BULK_EVICTION_WAIT_SECONDS instead of copying its 2s value, so lowering the cap moves
the bound with it.

* test: bound the wedged Redis burst by the shorter of the eviction cap and the socket timeout

Any wait the proxy puts on the stopped Redis lasts at least the shorter of the two, so the bound now follows
whichever one a later change lowers.

* test: drive the tool index cleanup test with the manual clock and keep the post-kill block as on main

The post-kill reset is already fixed on main by making kill() wait for the
worker's last thread, so the fresh-client and keep-alive edits go back to
main's version. The tool index cleanup test now advances the injected clock
instead of timing the real one, and the lockout clock helper gets a type hint.

* test: advance the spend log cleanup tests' manual clock through its own method

* test: freeze the throttle clock in the login_utils lockout tests and drive the run budget tests with the manual clock

Subject: [PATCH 40/45] fix(vertex_ai): build the cachedContents collection URL
 under a custom api_base (#44783)

* fix(gemini): use collection endpoint for custom context cache

* fix(vertex_ai): build the cachedContents collection URL under a custom api_base

* fix(vertex_ai): keep a gateway prefix that contains /publishers/

* test(integration): expect the cachedContents collection URL on a custom Gemini api_base

* fix(vertex_ai): cut cache collection URLs at the base's location, graft a mount prefix

* fix(vertex_ai): cache under a publisher model api_base in that model's location

A Vertex AI api_base that names an endpoint or no model keeps its old cache URL, so
no cache is created that the chat call cannot use. The cache body takes its project and
location from the api_base model, matching the collection URL.

* fix(vertex_ai): cache for the api_base's model and skip caching on a Gemini v1 base

A Vertex api_base naming a publisher model now gives the cache its model as well as its project and location, so the cache matches the model generateContent calls. A Gemini api_base ending in /v1 skips context caching, since the v1 API has no cachedContents and rejects the cachedContent field.

* fix(vertex_ai): check the cache token minimum against the api_base's model

The cache is created for the model a publisher-model api_base names, so the minimum prompt size now comes from that model too. A prompt below its minimum is sent uncached instead of failing at cache create.

* fix(vertex_ai): use the stricter cache minimum and send a Gemini base's 404 uncached

Subject: [PATCH 41/45] fix(github_copilot): treat a malformed api-key.json
 like a missing one (#44723)

* fix(github_copilot): treat a malformed api-key.json like a missing one

* fix(github_copilot): read the key and the endpoints of api-key.json as separate strict views

* fix(github_copilot): ignore a non-UTF-8 api-key.json like any other malformed file

Read the cached key file as bytes so a UTF-16 file, which Windows
PowerShell 5.1 writes with >, fails JSON validation instead of raising
the decoder's error, and the request gets the refresh or the login hint

* fix(github_copilot): decode UTF-16 key files and refresh over a malformed endpoints field

* fix(github_copilot): decode a UTF-16 access-token file and refuse an undecodable one like a missing one

* fix(github_copilot): use the refreshed key when api-key.json cannot be written

* fix(github_copilot): keep a refreshed key that cannot be saved in memory

* fix(github_copilot): serve a kept key and its endpoint together after the key file is repaired

A key held in memory is now checked before api-key.json, so the token and the endpoint come from the same source, and the map holds one entry per key file with the access token beside it

* test(github_copilot): type the authenticator test fixture and the tests this branch adds

Subject: [PATCH 42/45] feat(proxy)!: add suppress_startup_output to turn off
 startup prints (#47708)

* fix(proxy): keep every startup line JSON when json_logs is on

Boot-time messages the proxy printed straight to stdout (banner, feedback
box, model list, cache and callback notices, policy table, migration
notices, CLI launch notes) and the first records of uvicorn- or
granian-spawned workers came out as plain text while json_logs was on,
breaking log pipelines that parse every line as JSON.

- print_startup_message() prints unchanged in plain mode and, with
  json_logs on, emits one INFO record on the proxy logger (ANSI
  stripped) that skips the logger and handler level checks like the
  print it replaces; show_banner() routes to it in JSON mode only
- the CLI exports JSON_LOGS=true when the config sets json_logs so
  spawned workers log JSON from their first record
- the --enforce_prisma_migration_check deprecation notice prints after
  the config is read so a config-only json_logs covers it

Resolves LIT-1624

* fix(proxy): keep show_banner() SDK-free, pick the JSON banner in initialize()

Since #46803 the `lite` shell calls show_banner() against an uninitialized
litellm package, and reading litellm.json_logs inside it initialized the whole
SDK at the banner (0.14 s to 0.83 s for a bare `lite` here, the seconds that PR
removed on small VMs). show_banner() is back to its main version; the proxy's
initialize() now emits the JSON banner record itself and calls show_banner()
only in plain mode. The banner unit tests move to the initialize() call site.

* fix(proxy): keep the JSON banner when an operator --log_config names the proxy logger

uvicorn applies --log_config after proxy_cli has switched JSON logging on and before
initialize() switches it on again through load_config(). A logging config that names
"LiteLLM Proxy" removes that logger's handlers in the window between the two, which is where
initialize() emits the banner and the feedback box, so at one worker both went nowhere;
two-worker children import litellm after uvicorn's logging setup and were not affected.
print_startup_message() now falls back to a one-off JSON handler, on the stream the JSON
handler uses, when the proxy logger has no handler of its own.

Live, json_logs on plus a log_config naming the proxy logger, one worker: main prints the
banner and the feedback box as plaintext, e2303a3925 prints neither, this head prints both as
one JSON record each. New unit test fails on e2303a3925; new integration cell
test_json_logs_with_operator_log_config_keeps_every_line_json passes at one and two workers.

* fix(proxy): keep a long startup listing whole in its JSON record

print_startup_message ran its record through the proxy logger's filters, so
in JSON mode the required-migration SQL list and the policy list were
middle-truncated at MAX_STRING_LENGTH_STDOUT_LOG (4096 by default) with the
litellm_truncated marker, where the prints they replace showed them whole.
That cap bounds echoed request payloads; a startup message is operator text,
so the record now gets the uncapped processing of a DEBUG line: secret
redaction and base64 collapse still apply, the text cap does not.

Red on 41f92b745a, green here:
- tests/unit/test_logging.py: a listing longer than the cap comes out whole;
  a credential in a startup message is still redacted
- tests/integration/configuration/test_json_logs_startup.py: a 60-policy
  config boots with json_logs on and the policy listing record (9762 chars)
  carries every policy with no truncation marker (4096 chars, marker, on
  the unfixed tree)

* fix(proxy): keep the --enforce_prisma_migration_check notice on --health and --test

This PR moved the deprecation notice after the config is read, so that a
json_logs set only in the config applies to it; --health and --test return
before that point and stopped printing it, a visible change main did not
have. The notice is now also emitted before those two returns, through the
same helper, so a deployment running `litellm --health
--enforce_prisma_migration_check` still learns the flag is dead, as on main.
A normal server start emits it once, after the config, as in the previous
commit.

Red on 2d7a2d6844, green here: tests/unit/proxy/test_proxy_cli.py asserts
the notice on --health and on --test.

* fix(proxy): keep the JSON startup records on stdout under an operator handler on the proxy logger

An operator --log_config that gives "LiteLLM Proxy" a handler of its own, a NullHandler
that silences it or a plain WARNING-level handler on stderr, is in force in the window
where the banner, the feedback box and the cache notice are emitted: uvicorn applies it
after the CLI process switched JSON on and before initialize() re-installs the JSON
handler through load_config(). 41f92b745a sent the startup records through the proxy
logger's handlers and fell back to a JSON stdout handler only when there were none, so
under such a config the records landed in the operator's handler, as plaintext on stderr,
or vanished, where the prints they replace reached stdout whatever the logging config
said.

print_startup_message() now writes every startup record through the proxy's own JSON
handler on stdout, filters included, and never through the proxy logger's handlers; the
operator's handler gets nothing from a startup message, as it got nothing from the print.
The normal JSON handler is the same class, formatter and filters, so the records a
pipeline reads are unchanged when no operator config is in play.

Tests: tests/unit/test_logging.py gets the two handler shapes (red on f6f5957d16: the
record went to stderr as plaintext or nowhere); tests/integration/configuration/
test_json_logs_startup.py gets a silencing operator --log_config cell at 1 and 2 workers
(red on f6f5957d16: banner, feedback box and cache notice missing; green here).

* fix(proxy): print the --enforce_prisma_migration_check notice when the config fails to load

f6f5957d16 printed the deprecation notice after the config is read, so a json_logs set
only in the config makes it a JSON record. A boot whose config file is missing or does
not parse then exited before that point and never printed it, where main printed it
before the error (10-20 gauntlet finding).

The notice is printed where main printed it, unless a config file can still switch
json_logs on: then it is held until the config is read and printed right after the
json_logs switch, and a click close callback prints it on the way out if the boot fails
first. functools.cache keeps it to one print either way.

Tests: tests/unit/proxy/test_proxy_cli.py covers a failed config read (red on
75043aed83), a plain config printing it once and a config-only json_logs making it one
JSON record; tests/integration/configuration/test_json_logs_startup.py adds the JSON cell
and a missing and an unparseable config cell (red on 75043aed83, green here), through
refused_boot_log, which now takes extra CLI arguments.

* feat(proxy): add suppress_startup_output to turn off startup prints

* fix(proxy): print startup messages once and without color codes off a terminal

* test(policy-engine): check the policy table keeps colors on a terminal and drops them on a pipe

* fix(proxy): keep startup warnings when suppress_startup_output is on and apply it from CONFIG_FILE_PATH and before other settings

Warnings that name something the operator must fix now print through print_startup_warning, which
skips the suppress gate. The config key is read with the CLI's json_logs handling for --config and
CONFIG_FILE_PATH, applied before the rest of litellm_settings in load_config, and can only turn the
setting on. The Prometheus config panel obeys the setting, and startup prints use the plain log
format's color rule.

* fix(proxy): read CONFIG_FILE_PATH in the CLI only when workers would load it

Workers load CONFIG_FILE_PATH only when it names an existing YAML file, so the CLI's early read of
json_logs and suppress_startup_output skips any other value instead of failing a boot that used to start.

* fix(proxy): read only suppress_startup_output from CONFIG_FILE_PATH in the CLI, without secrets

The CLI now reads CONFIG_FILE_PATH as a plain file with its includes, skips it when a config bucket is set,
and applies only suppress_startup_output, also when --config is passed. json_logs there stays with the
workers as before. Fatal boot errors drop their color codes off a terminal like the startup prints.

* fix(logging): emit startup warnings as WARNING records in JSON mode

* fix(proxy): keep one JSON record per search tool in the startup listing

* fix(proxy): keep booting with an ASCII stdout or an empty litellm_settings

Startup messages now go through click.echo, which writes UTF-8 when stdout is ASCII, as the banner did
before. An empty litellm_settings section reads as no settings in the CLI, as the workers already read it

* test(proxy): boot the CLI tests on the real ProxyConfig config readers

* test(proxy): cover the startup warnings that print with startup output suppressed

* test(proxy): boot the deprecated resolver flag test on the real ProxyConfig

* test(proxy): drop the startup output contract's narrating docstrings

* test(proxy): cover the pgbouncer start failure message off a terminal

Subject: [PATCH 43/45] feat(proxy): let a Claude Code gateway user choose the
 session team (#49001)

* feat(proxy): let a Claude Code gateway user choose the session team

The gateway's browser verification page now lists the developer's teams, and the device code grant mints the session for the picked team. A team the developer is not on is refused with a 400, and a form without a team keeps the first-team default.

* fix(proxy): refuse a stale gateway team pick and require an explicit choice

* fix(gateway): list the browser-picked team first so an older replica mid-deploy issues it

Subject: [PATCH 44/45] feat(proxy)!:
 general_settings.claude_code_marketplace_auth_required puts the Claude Code
 marketplace behind a LiteLLM key (#48980)

* test(proxy): require a key for the Claude Code marketplace when configured and keep exception text out of its 500s

* feat(proxy): general_settings.claude_code_marketplace_auth_required requires a LiteLLM key for the Claude Code marketplace

When true, GET /claude-code/marketplace.json answers 401 without a key in Authorization,
x-litellm-api-key, the litellm_key_header_name header, or ?key=, and GET /public/skill_hub
returns an empty list. Both routes' 500 bodies carry a fixed message instead of the exception text.

* fix(proxy): refuse ?key= and send WWW-Authenticate when the Claude Code marketplace requires a key

* fix(proxy): close the marketplace key gate's outage, quoted-setting, and dashboard gaps

Refuse the database-outage fallback identity with a 401, read a quoted
"true" as on and an unreadable value as on, keep the skill hub's 500
detail a fixed string, and have the dashboard setup tab show a settings
snippet with a key header when the marketplace requires a key

* fix(proxy): keep the no-database 500, validate the marketplace key setting at boot, and show the key snippet until the probe answers

* fix(claude-code): read the marketplace key setting from the UI config and answer database outages with 503

* fix(claude-code): keep the no-database hint on skill_hub and warn that the remove step uninstalls plugins

Subject: [PATCH 45/45] fix(token_counter)!: keep a loaded Hugging Face
 tokenizer when a slower download fails (#48916)

* fix(utils): keep a loaded Hugging Face tokenizer over a racing failure and retry once per window

A download that fails after another count loaded the same tokenizer no longer hides it, the first count after the retry window claims the retry while the others keep using tiktoken, and HUGGINGFACE_TOKENIZER_LOAD_RETRY_SECONDS defaults to 60s to match the proxy's tokenizer reuse window

* fix(utils): keep Hugging Face tokenizer outcomes until their retry time instead of a TTL

The outcome store no longer expires entries after twice the retry window, so after a long idle stretch the first count still claims the one retry and the other counts keep using tiktoken instead of each downloading again. The store is a small lock-guarded holder of an immutable mapping keyed by tokenizer kind and backend

* fix(token_counter): keep the loaded tokenizer in its outcome and run one retry at a time

The loaded outcome now holds the tokenizer, so an LRU eviction can no longer
send every count back to an unguarded download. A retry blocks further retries
until it ends, even when it runs past the window, and a download that fails
after another count loaded the tokenizer counts with that tokenizer

* fix(token_counter): retry a failed Hugging Face tokenizer download in the background

After the retry window, the count that finds the stored failure starts one
background download and answers with tiktoken, so no live count waits on a
retry. A failure from a download that started before the first failure no
longer resets a running retry, and a failed retry never replaces a tokenizer
another download loaded. The outcome store takes its clock and retry starter
as dependencies, so the tests inject them instead of patching time.monotonic.

* fix(token_counter): keep retrying a failed Hugging Face tokenizer download when its retry thread cannot start

If starting the background retry thread raises, the count answers with tiktoken and the failure is stored with a fresh retry time, so the next window retries again instead of the tokenizer staying on tiktoken until restart.

* fix(token_counter): let a forked process or a crashed retry thread retry a failed Hugging Face tokenizer download again

A failed download's in-flight retry mark is now the pid of the process running it, so a process forked during a retry starts its own instead of waiting on a thread it does not have. The retry thread clears its mark in a finally, so a native panic or fork guard error escaping it leaves the next window free to retry. The fork guard error is no longer swallowed in the retry thread and reaches the thread's exception hook, as on the first load

* fix(token_counter): let a process that exits during a background tokenizer retry exit cleanly instead of aborting
