-# Publish MCP servers in the AI Hub
-
-Set `litellm_settings.public_mcp_servers` to the concrete IDs of the servers you want listed in the public AI Hub. Pin `server_id` in each configuration entry so the publication list stays stable across deployments
-
-```yaml
-mcp_servers:
-  documentation:
-    server_id: documentation-mcp
-    url: https://mcp.example.com/mcp
-    transport: http
-    available_on_public_internet: true
-
-litellm_settings:
-  public_mcp_hub_strict_whitelist: true
-  public_mcp_servers:
-    - documentation-mcp
-```
-
-Use `documentation-mcp`, the `server_id`, in the publication list. The configuration key `documentation`, display names, and aliases are not publication IDs. Database-created servers use the ID returned by `/v1/mcp/server`
-
-The dashboard's **AI Hub > MCP Hub > Manage MCP Hub Visibility** dialog edits this same list. Its YAML example includes the selected server IDs. With database-backed configuration (`store_model_in_db: true`), a value declared in YAML is owned by that file: edit the file and reload, or remove that key from YAML to let the dashboard manage it in the database. File-backed deployments can save the list directly to their configuration file
-
-To remove all explicit entries, save an empty selection in the dialog or configure:
-
-```yaml
-litellm_settings:
-  public_mcp_hub_strict_whitelist: true
-  public_mcp_servers: []
-```
-
-## Hub listing and network access
-
-The **Hub listing** column in AI Hub identifies servers that appear in `/public/mcp_hub`. The dashboard derives this status from the current registry and publication settings. Setting `mcp_info.is_public` on a server does not publish it; that response field is derived metadata. `mcp_info.is_public_explicit` identifies registered servers included in the explicit publication list
-
-Gateway cards and server details show **All Networks** when `available_on_public_internet` is enabled or the server is explicitly published in `public_mcp_servers`. They show **Internal Only** when both are false. The per-server flag defaults to `true`; explicit publication overrides a disabled flag for compatibility. Older proxies that omit the metadata needed to determine access show **Unknown**. These labels describe allowed client IPs; authentication and tool permissions still apply
-
-The default `public_mcp_hub_strict_whitelist: true` lists only registered servers in `public_mcp_servers`. Legacy mode (`false`) additionally lists registered servers with `available_on_public_internet: true`. In legacy mode, clearing the explicit publication list leaves these automatically listed servers visible. Enable strict mode when the publication list should fully determine hub visibility

+name: rust-tracing
+description: Add or change Rust diagnostic tracing in litellm-rust, including route spans, subscriber layers, and Python logger delivery
+---
+
+# Rust tracing
+
+Use upstream `tracing` throughout Rust, including `#[tracing::instrument]`, events, and span propagation. Centralize collection and delivery infrastructure in `crates/tracing`. Direct upstream imports still reach our configured subscriber; re-exporting macros does not control delivery. Do not introduce Rust `log` or `pyo3-log` for this path
+
+`litellm-tracing` owns shared subscriber layers, span field collection, and diagnostic processing. Keep adapters composable as `tracing_subscriber::Layer`s, with `Logger` providing host setup. Runtime-specific delivery belongs in the host bridge. The Python bridge delivers directly to the existing Python SDK logger, preserving its handlers, filtering, redaction, and request correlation. Keep Python dependencies out of `crates/tracing`
+
+Hosts configure subscribers. Keep Python execution scoped to its captured dispatch rather than installing a process-wide subscriber. Propagate both span context and dispatch across spawned work and returned streams
+
+In core, instrument execution shared by native calls and hosted machines. Use consistent route, model, provider, streaming, and outcome fields. Put status recording at shared provider boundaries instead of scattering basic logging through handlers. Keep upstream HTTP status separate from route success
+
+Use `skip_all` and explicitly selected fields. Basic tracing excludes bodies, credentials, headers, and raw error strings. Avoid automatic `ret` or `err` capture of sensitive values. Keep payload diagnostics separate and subject to existing redaction
+
+A returned stream retains its route span until exhaustion, error, or drop, with exactly one terminal outcome. Builder construction does not start a trace. Never hold a span entry guard across an await. Diagnostic tracing remains separate from lifecycle callbacks and `CustomLogger` dispatch
+
+Use `litellm_tracing::sink_layer` to compose a sink with other subscriber layers. It inherits span fields into events and emits span-close summaries with elapsed time. Test observable records, concurrent isolation, dynamic filtering, sensitive-field exclusion, and stream cancellation when changing this behavior
+
+Consult the [tracing API](https://docs.rs/tracing/latest/tracing/) and [subscriber layers](https://docs.rs/tracing-subscriber/latest/tracing_subscriber/layer/index.html) for implementation details

 ## Error definitions
 
 - A crate's errors live in `src/error.rs`, defined with `thiserror`, and re-exported from `lib.rs`
+- Put message templates in the variant's `#[error(...)]` declaration. Callers pass only the small typed arguments needed to fill them, never `Error::Variant(format!(...))` or a preformatted message. Keep the smallest set of neutral variants that callers need to distinguish; different wording or providers do not justify new variants
 - Default to one top-level `Error` enum per crate, with one variant per failure mode and a `#[error(...)]` message on each. A failure mode is something a caller handles differently (phase, status code, retry, a message Python parity pins exactly); failures no caller tells apart share one variant and differ only in its message
+- Keep shared error enums minimal and provider-neutral. Provider names, credential types, configuration fields, and setup guidance belong in caller-supplied data, not dedicated variants or hardcoded shared messages. Reuse a variant for the same failure mode across providers, such as `MissingApiBase { provider: "Azure", guidance: "..." }`. An exact parity message does not justify a provider-specific variant when caller-supplied context can preserve it
 - Wrap a lower-level error as a variant with `#[from]` or `#[source]` instead of flattening it to a string
 - Exception: split into separate types when different functions fail in disjoint ways, especially when different callers see them. A shared enum would force every caller to match variants its function can never return
 - Name a split type after what went wrong (a unit struct is fine for a single failure mode), not after the function that returns it

+# Response caching
+
+Design this crate for shared Rust execution used by the Python SDK and the Rust gateway. The Python SDK will remain, with more core execution moving to Rust and Python callbacks staying in Python. The Rust gateway is still evolving and is intended to replace the Python proxy. Keep response-cache policy independent of Python, HTTP serving, and either proxy's configuration format
+
+Separate what is cached, how a hit is matched, and where entries are stored. Chat Completions, Messages, Responses, and embeddings are API workloads. Exact and semantic matching are lookup behaviors. Memory, Redis, disk, and object stores are storage choices. Embeddings are inference too, so do not use an inference-cache name to imply a category that excludes embeddings. Consult the existing Python cache and caching handler for behavior and compatibility contracts without copying their class structure
+
+Storage traits, codecs, and backend capabilities belong in `litellm-cache` and the storage crates. Keep storage reusable for value types beyond LLM responses. This crate owns response entries, matching and freshness semantics, the Python-compatible response codec, and deferred-write policy. Core owns route-specific request identity, response encoding and reconstruction, embedding partial-hit orchestration, and stream capture and replay. Boundaries own configuration translation, resource construction, and caller identity
+
+Construct and inject the response-cache service at the Python bridge or gateway boundary, as with the HTTP client. Reuse it across calls. Core and provider code must not discover cache configuration through Python globals, process configuration, or backend-specific factories
+
+Keep `ResponseCache<B>` generic over its storage backend. Preserve typed backend contexts and capability bounds internally. Inject an object-safe service into core for runtime backend selection, so storage types do not spread through route and host types. Keep API request and response types statically typed. Add a generic parameter only where it preserves a useful type relationship or capability
+
+Keep the core service contract narrow. Lookup and store must not require connection testing, ping, flush, deletion, counters, queues, or scripts. Require batch operations where a consumer needs partial hits, and keep management capabilities on their own interfaces. An exact-only adapter must remain explicit about its matching restriction. Supporting semantic matching requires a defined lookup-context and embedding execution contract, not just a renamed trait
+
+Separate reusable resources from per-call policy. Backend configuration, namespace, default expiry, and entry limits belong to the configured service or backend. Read/write controls, expiry and freshness overrides, and authenticated caller scope belong to the call. Passing call options must not replace or mutate the route's configured service
+
+Keep cache misses and storage failures distinguishable in return values. Core owns the decision to continue with provider execution after a cache failure. A read can reject an entry for freshness while the backend still retains it. Preserve the timestamp at which a response was produced when writing it later
+
+Define lookup placement explicitly relative to authorization, deployment and credential resolution, and request-transforming callbacks. Cache identity must account for every input that affects reuse, including API surface and caller scope, while preserving intentional Python caching groups. Preserve existing keys and response formats unless changing them is an explicit migration decision
+
+Cache normalized provider results before caller-specific response transformations. Hits must still run the applicable response processing, success callbacks, and cache-hit accounting. Keep callback execution in the host. Python cache implementations and semantic embedders that require the caller's task must use the existing host-operation mechanism rather than Python calls from a Rust worker. Preserve legacy fallback until that contract is supported
+
+Keep unary caching independent of stream-only methods. Store streams only after successful exhaustion and protocol completion. Errors, incomplete streams, cancellation, and oversized entries must not populate the cache. Embedding batches need ordered partial results and reconstruction around the uncached inputs
+
+Test each contract in its owner: storage capabilities in backend tests, envelopes and freshness here, reuse and replay in core, Python callback and fallback behavior at the bridge, and HTTP behavior at the gateway. Run backend contract checks and Python response-codec fixtures before exposing a new backend
+
+`ScopedCache` requires an explicit shared or isolated scope at construction. `CacheOptions` has no default sharing policy. Callers may override policy per invocation without replacing the attached service. Versioned native envelopes reject incompatible API surfaces and versions as misses; this envelope is distinct from the legacy Python response codec
+
+Response storage is not the source of budget or rate-limit coordination dependencies. Keep counters, reservations, and atomic admission operations out of `ResponseCacheService`, including when both services happen to use Redis

-# Response cache
-
-`ResponseCache<B>` adds request keys, independent read/write controls, response envelopes, and freshness checks to any `B: BaseCache<Value = CacheEntry>`
-
-## Ownership
-
-`litellm-cache` defines typed storage, codec, and capability traits. `BaseCache` is only get, set, TTL, and pipeline writes. Everything else is an optional capability a backend implements only where its Python class defines the method: `DisconnectCache`, `ConnectionCache` (`test_connection`), `PingCache`, `BatchCache`, `DeleteCache`, `FlushCache`, counters, queues, TTL, scan, and scripts. Memory, Redis, disk, S3, GCS, and Azure Blob implement those traits without depending on response policy, so other consumers can store their own value types in the same backends
-
-Semantic backends (Redis, Valkey, Qdrant) are generic over their embedder and codec, and share one prompt and embedding contract from `litellm_cache::semantic`. They take a `SemanticCacheContext`, so `ResponseCache` drives them the same way it drives exact backends
-
-`litellm-cache-response` owns response keys, controls, entries, the Python-compatible response codec, and `WriteBuffer`, the backend-neutral deferred-write policy. It has no runtime dependency on a specific cache backend or Python
-
-`ExactResponseCache` is the object-safe view of a `ResponseCache` over an exact backend. `ConnectionProbe` is the object-safe `test_connection`, implemented only when the backend implements `ConnectionCache`, so a host holds one next to its `ExactResponseCache` and reports the operation as unsupported otherwise, as Python's `BaseCache` does. Lookup, store, batch, and flush never require it
-
-## Native Rust use
-
-```rust
-use std::{sync::Arc, time::Duration};
-use litellm_cache_memory::InMemoryCache;
-use litellm_cache_response::{CacheKeyInput, ResponseCache, ResponseCacheRequest};
-use serde_json::json;
-
-let cache = ResponseCache::new(Arc::new(InMemoryCache::default()));
-let request = ResponseCacheRequest::new(CacheKeyInput {
-    preset: Some("example:key".into()),
-    ..Default::default()
-});
-let now = Duration::from_secs(100);
-cache.store(&request, json!({"answer": 7}), now)?;
-assert_eq!(cache.async_lookup(&request, now).await?, Some(json!({"answer": 7})));
-```
-
-For Redis, inject `RedisCache::new(url, ttl, ResponseCacheCodec)` instead. Namespaces are optional and existing namespace prefixes are preserved
-
-Callers supply Unix time for response freshness. Backend TTL uses its own clock. A read can reject an entry through `max_age` even while the backend still retains it
-
-## Python integration
-
-The bridge activates backends through the Rust catalog in `litellm/rust_bridge/catalog.py`. Every cache rule ships as `PYTHON_ONLY`, so SDK, Router, and proxy calls stay on Python and construct no native cache resources until a rule is changed
-
-When a rule selects a backend, the Python `Cache` facade builds the native runtime from its own configuration and routes its storage calls (sync and async lookup and store, and pipelined batch store) to it. Stream replay, embedding partial-hit merging, response reconstruction, and callbacks stay in Python on top of that native store. The Python backend object remains for its direct API
-
-Object responses are written as they are, and every other response shape is written as a serialized string, which is the pair of shapes Python reads. A string on the wire is therefore always a serialized response, so string-valued responses round trip. Typed backends such as memory never pass through the codec
-
-Native cache handles must be recreated after fork. Native errors propagate to the host, which owns the existing fail-open and logging policy
-
-## Adding another backend
-
-Implement `BaseCache` for the backend with its associated value type and the capability traits its Python class supports, and accept a `CacheCodec` when wire serialization is needed. `ResponseCache<B>` then works without another response implementation
-
-Run the `litellm-cache-testing` contract checks the backend's capabilities allow, and run response fixtures with `ResponseCacheCodec`, including both Python envelope encodings, before adding a catalog rule

 - Target invariants, not completion claims
-- This crate is the legacy `@client` wrapper as the native call sees it, and nothing else: the `Logging` contract (`function_setup`, the deployment hooks, `pre_call`/`post_call`, the sync and async success and failure fan-out, the deferred proxy release, the argument sharing those callbacks rely on)
+- This crate owns compatibility for all existing Python callbacks and loggers, including `CustomLogger`. `mapping.rs` owns the executable call bindings and the inventory of Python-owned hooks. A Python-owned entry records an existing path, never permission to invoke it a second time. The native call adapter preserves the `Logging` contract (`function_setup`, the deployment hooks, `pre_call`/`post_call`, the sync and async success and failure fan-out, the deferred proxy release, the argument sharing those callbacks rely on)
   - Smell test: if a future callback host (`callbacks-v1-python`, WASM, in-process Rust) could share a piece of this crate, it does not belong here
-  - SDK request policy (credential inheritance, the budget and retry-count limits) is the driver's preflight, supplied by `python-bridge`; this crate only adopts the keyword view it produces
-  - The driver in `litellm-host-python`, the routes and core see one `PythonLifecycle`; they never learn which Python objects consume a call
+  - SDK request policy (credential inheritance, the budget and retry-count limits) is a separate hook supplied by `python-bridge`; compose it after this adapter so logging adopts the final keyword view before policy mutates or rejects it
+  - The driver in `litellm-host-python`, the routes and core see one `PythonCallHooks` using the shared `CallEvent`; they never learn which Python objects consume a call
 - Every litellm Python internal Rust still borrows is a variant of `LegacyPython`, grouped by subsystem, with its signature pinned in `python_contract.json`
   - The enum only shrinks: when Rust owns a subsystem, delete its group rather than adding a Rust path beside it
   - Calling a user's own callback directly is permanent Python surface and gets its own type outside `LegacyPython`
-- `PublicCall` is the caller's call as `Logging` sees it: the positional arguments, the keyword view as the call rewrites it (setup, deployment hook, preflight) and the bound request object backing omitted keywords; routes hand it over through `run_legacy_call` and keep no copy
+- `PublicCall` is the caller's call as `Logging` sees it: the positional arguments, the keyword view as the call rewrites it (setup, deployment hook, preflight) and the bound request object backing omitted keywords; shared bridge composition hands it to `LegacyLogging`; routes use the neutral call boundary
+- `LoggingOperation` selects legacy logging entrypoints and response handling. It belongs here rather than in shared inference data contracts
 - `setup` reuses a `Logging` passed as `litellm_logging_obj` (the proxy and Router) and otherwise builds one through `function_setup`; which callbacks run is `Logging`'s decision, never this crate's
 - Callbacks receive the caller's own objects and may mutate them; this crate alone carries that obligation
   - Retain complete boundary arguments, opaque values, aliases, omitted/default distinctions and deliberate copies; preserve the deployment-hook kwargs view

-litellm-core is the LiteLLM SDK in Rust. Each top-level call is a module under `src/<route>/` exposing a public entrypoint named after the route. `messages::messages()` returns `MessagesResponse::Message` for a completed response or `MessagesResponse::Stream { headers, chunks }` when the request sets `stream: true`. The chunks are Anthropic SSE bytes in a `Stream<Item = Result<Bytes, Error>>`. Dropping the stream cancels the call. The Python bridge drives `messages::route::messages_machine()` instead, because Python has to answer the call's operations on its own thread; the gateway and the Rust SDK call the plain entrypoint
+litellm-core owns route orchestration. Messages and HTTP Responses return `litellm_host::call::CallOutput`, containing either a completed response or a stream head and chunks. OCR and currently non-streaming Chat Completions return their completed response directly
 
-A route module has the same five pieces, in the order Python runs them. `types.rs` holds the call, the provider request, and the response. `prepare.rs` resolves the provider and credentials and shapes the request (Python's `validate_environment`, `get_complete_url`, `transform_request`). `handler.rs` resolves auth, offers the wire request to `litellm_host::hooks::RouteHooks::before_send`, sends it, reports the raw response through `emit`, and normalizes the response or stream (`pre_call`, `post`, `post_call`, `transform_response`). `mod.rs` exposes the entrypoint that runs prepare then handler with no hooks (`()`). `route.rs`, where a host needs it, wraps the same two calls in a `CallMachine` whose `HostChannel` is the hooks, and pumps a stream through `open` and `deliver`. A handler takes `&impl RouteHooks<Error>` and never a `HostChannel` directly, so it runs without a coroutine. Keep provider transport and transformation details out of the machine driver
+Hosts assemble route objects from shared `CoreResources`, HTTP settings, and secret sources. Each route owns its provider client and authentication dependencies. Gateway routes live for the gateway lifetime; Python assembles routes per call from its settings snapshot
+
+Chat Completions, Messages, Responses, and OCR execute through their route objects. Calls pass `Interceptors` and an optional `ObservationSender` separately; use `&()` for no hooks and `None` for no observer. Construction does no work; preparation and lifecycle observation begin when the future is polled. Handlers accept `Interceptors`, never a concrete `ChannelInterceptors`. Native observers receive start and terminal events through the shared call runner; a stream retains its lifecycle until exhaustion, error, or drop. Hosted routes leave terminal observation to their driver
+
+`route.rs` declares the concrete `Protocol` and implements a route method that accepts a typed request and constructs a `litellm_host::call::HostedMachine` with `hosted_call`. The shared call plumbing owns stream opening, delivery, backpressure, and detachment. Request decoding belongs to the boundary before the machine starts. Route closures only supply execution dependencies and route-specific host capabilities such as an OCR token provider. Use `run_hosted` for a native host so detachment is reported as cancellation. Python uses its own shared driver and preserves caller-task callback execution
+
+Responses WebSocket sessions remain separate from the HTTP call driver because a connection can accept multiple requests while receiving events
 
 ## Crate layering
 
-Each crate mirrors one top-level Python package, so a Rust path reads as its Python path with the crate name in place of the package directory. Dependencies only point down:
+For Messages, Responses, Chat Completions, OCR, and other API formats, `core/src/<format>/` owns orchestration. Shared API data contracts belong in `litellm-llms-types`, adapter contracts and shared transformation machinery in `llms/src/base_llm/<format>/`, and provider policy in `llms/src/<provider>/<format>/`. A repeated format directory name does not imply interchangeable responsibilities. Select concrete adapters here, then invoke their contracts instead of applying one provider's policy to every call. Route types describe call envelopes and execution state, not duplicate public payload schemas
 
-- `litellm-types` mirrors `litellm/types/`: pure serde data, no I/O
+Crates separate API data, transformations, transport, and orchestration. Python package names identify counterparts, not ownership. Dependencies only point down:
+
+- `litellm-llms-types` owns shared inference API contracts, grouped by format: pure serde data and shape validation, no I/O
 - `litellm-core-utils` mirrors `litellm/litellm_core_utils/`: pure helpers (provider resolution, prompt factory, call arguments, settings lookup and layer merge), no network I/O
 - `litellm-http` is Rust-only and route-neutral: settings resolution, the pooled `reqwest` clients, TLS, proxies, the SSRF-safe media fetcher, request and header helpers, and transport errors. Python's `litellm/llms/custom_httpx/` is split by responsibility instead of mirrored: its transport half lives here, its OCR handler in `litellm-llms`
 - `litellm-llms` mirrors `litellm/llms/`: `base_llm/<api>/transformation.rs`, `<provider>/<api>/transformation.rs`, and `base_llm/ocr/handler.rs` (the OCR request handler)
 - `litellm-core` mirrors the route packages (`litellm/ocr/`, `litellm/messages/`, ...): entrypoints, route request types, provider dispatch, the route machine, and hooks
 
-A route module owns the call entrypoint, route request types (`*Request<'a>`), credential fallback, provider dispatch, and the handler glue that runs a provider config. Provider code never imports from core; when it needs the caller's hooks mid-call it goes through `litellm_llms::base_llm::ocr::handler::CallHooks`, the provider-level hooks OCR implements over its host until it folds into `litellm_host::hooks::RouteHooks`. Import every item from its canonical path. Never re-export another crate's items or give an item a second public path; the only re-export allowed is a private submodule surfacing its item at its module root (`mod error; pub use error::Error;`). Handlers belong in core or llms, never in a host crate

 `litellm_llms::Error` (`crates/llms/src/error.rs`) is the one transformation error for every provider and API. `base_llm/ocr/error.rs` is the recorded exception until OCR folds into it
 
 Not here: serving HTTP (axum routes, extractors), config file reading, rollout state, databases, or callback execution of any kind. Core runs each route as a machine that yields host operations and call events; which integrations consume those events is the host's business.
+
+## Response caching and accounting boundary
+
+Attach a `litellm_cache_response::ScopedCache` with `route.with_cache(cache)`. Cached and uncached routes use the same `execute` and `machine` methods. `CallOptions` carries per-call cache overrides and observation; attaching a service does not change the execution contract
+
+Core owns request identity, typed response reconstruction and stream capture/replay. `cache-response` owns cache policy, namespacing, scope encoding, versioned envelopes and freshness. The SDK explicitly chooses shared scope. The gateway derives isolated scope from authenticated identity before attaching its service
+
+Core delivers `ExecutionFacts` through the awaited `ResultReady` host operation for both provider and cached results, before public response processing or stream opening. Facts carry resolved model/provider and result source, including the hit key. Usage remains in the typed response or delivered stream, where completion and cancellation determine what was actually reported. Passive observation is not an accounting delivery mechanism
+
+Core does not calculate prices, charge budgets, or update rate-limit counters. The legacy Python callback adapter translates execution facts into the existing Python logging contract; Python remains the accounting owner on that path. Native gateway accounting belongs to gateway dependencies, independently of `host-python`. Response-cache services expose no coordination counters or reservation APIs. A shared Redis deployment does not make response storage and accounting coordination the same dependency
+
+Cache lookup follows provider preparation, credential resolution and the request interceptor. Keys describe the effective provider URL, authenticated headers and rewritten body. Signed requests bypass caching until the signing identity has a stable cache representation

+This directory owns provider-independent Messages call orchestration: the entrypoint, call envelopes, provider selection, credential resolution, transport coordination, hooks, and stream lifecycle. Shared API data contracts belong in `litellm-llms-types::formats::messages`, adapter contracts and execution inputs in `llms/src/base_llm/messages`, and provider implementations in `llms/src/<provider>/messages`
+
+Select concrete provider adapters and invoke their contracts. Delegate authentication policy, beta selection, payload rewriting, and response interpretation to those adapters. Keep provider policy out of request preparation and transport handlers. Calling a concrete provider helper for every provider is still a policy dependency
+
+Route types such as `MessagesCall`, prepared requests, and response wrappers containing live streams describe execution. Reuse the shared Messages payload types inside them instead of defining another request or response schema here
+
+Preserve the order of validation, normalization, caller-requested parameter removal, and provider transformation when that order affects observable behavior. Test provider dispatch, auth precedence, header handling, transformations, and responses through behavior, not source structure

+# Gateway authentication
+
+Inbound authentication uses a verifier, identity resolver, and authorizer injected into `Auth`. `Auth::from_config` composes the current master-key implementation. `Auth::new` accepts alternate implementations and an injected clock
+
+`CredentialExtractor` selects a token or transport credential from HTTP request parts. The default `Bearer` extractor is strict; a host can supply another extractor with `Auth::with_extractor` for a separate route profile. A transport credential is only a selection marker, never proof of identity
+
+`Authenticator` receives that selected credential and HTTP request parts. Transport verifiers must obtain proof from trusted server extensions, not client-supplied identity headers. It returns `VerifiedIdentity` only after verification. Request parts provide headers and trusted transport extensions for integrations; the verifier must validate any client-controlled claims before treating them as identity. There is no fallback chain after verification failure
+
+`IdentityResolver` maps verified identity into an internal principal and permissions. The caller retains the original authentication evidence and credential restrictions independently of that mapping. Principals include an authority, subject, and kind. External subjects must remain authority-scoped unless the resolver explicitly maps them to a shared internal identity
+
+`AuthenticatedRequest::authorize` checks expiry and intersects resolved permissions with credential restrictions before calling the injected authorizer. The authorizer may impose additional policy but cannot expand either permission set. The returned operation grant binds the exact authenticated caller instance and access request. Consuming it for another caller or target fails
+
+`Permissions::All`, `None`, and `Only` provide the initial policy vocabulary. `Only` matches exact typed access requests. Model requests contain both the public name and resolved deployment model. MCP requests contain the resolved server ID and upstream operation, including bare tool/prompt names and resource URIs. More expressive policy adapters can be added without changing credential verification
+
+The Axum `authenticate` middleware currently accepts one Authorization header using the existing Bearer format. Missing, duplicate, empty, or malformed credentials fail. Authentication replaces any preexisting caller extension and checks the method and matched route before dispatch. Handlers extract `AuthenticatedRequest` and authorize their parsed operation before calling a provider. Missing authenticated context fails closed
+
+The gateway also inserts an MCP `Authorization` extension and a `SessionOwner` derived from the verified principal and credential reference. The MCP host checks the injected policy at initialization and before sending resolved upstream operations. Standalone MCP library hosts retain their existing explicitly trusted registry behavior when no policy is installed; production mounts must install authentication and the policy extension together
+
+Local UI login continues using axum-login and tower-sessions. Only after session and CSRF validation does `UiSession` expose an authenticated caller. Its credentials are restricted to session-info and logout operations, so the UI CSRF bearer cannot authorize inference. Future UI management routes must extend that explicit scope
+
+Authentication evidence and principals contain no raw token, password, request body, or mutable accounting state. Session ownership is scoped by principal authority, subject, verifier, and credential ID, so separate credentials do not silently share an MCP session. Credential rotation may retain ownership when the verifier preserves a stable credential ID. Scope and expiry checks still run for each operation
+
+Failures distinguish invalid or expired credentials, forbidden operations, unavailable authentication services, and missing server configuration/context. HTTP adapters map those outcomes to status codes; inference keeps its API-specific error envelopes and MCP translates policy failures to its own protocol
+
+Virtual-key storage, JWT verification, OAuth2 introspection, trusted-proxy validation, SSO, and custom Python hook adapters are not implemented here yet. They should supply these contracts rather than bypassing the shared authorization boundary. Request-body-dependent custom hooks will need a bounded endpoint adapter after parsing
+
+Budget reservations, rate limits, usage settlement, retries, and cancellation accounting belong after authorization in the execution lifecycle. This foundation adds no accounting backend or cached authorization decisions. Future reservations must bind the same caller and resolved operation and settle idempotently across streaming completion and cancellation

+# Gateway management
+
+This crate scaffolds virtual key creation, retrieval, and revocation with an injected `KeyStore`. `gateway-auth::keys` owns the separate read-only `KeyLookup` interface and credential verification. Neither crate imports a database implementation
+
+The future `db` key repository should implement both interfaces against the existing LiteLLM database. The gateway composition layer can inject the same repository into management and authentication, sharing its connection pool
+
+## Storage contract
+
+`create` inserts the supplied hash and expiration atomically, returning `AlreadyExists` without changing an existing record on collision. Management generates a token from 32 bytes of operating-system randomness and returns its plaintext only after storage succeeds. `KeyHash` uses the existing SHA-256 token hashing function. Storage never receives the plaintext token
+
+`get` returns the stored status, including revoked keys. `revoke` returns `Revoked` for an existing key, including one already revoked, and `NotFound` for a missing key. Once revocation succeeds, every subsequent lookup must return revoked or missing, including lookups from other gateway instances. Database writes and any cache invalidation must preserve this contract
+
+`KeyLookup` returns active status with optional expiration, revoked status, or no record. Backend failures remain errors. `verify_key` checks the current lookup result and expiration on every call, reads its supplied clock after lookup completes, and returns the verified hash. Pass `SystemTime::now` in production or a fixed clock in tests
+
+## Scope
+
+These are backend operations, with no HTTP routes, database adapter, production in-memory store, or gateway CLI wiring. The in-memory repository under `tests` exercises the shared storage contract. Verification establishes only that a credential is valid; it does not grant permissions. Caller identity, management authorization, and inference policy enforcement belong to the gateway auth integration before these operations are exposed over HTTP
+
+The existing master-key authentication path is unchanged. User, team, model, and budget policies are not represented in this scaffold, so existing database rows carrying those policies require that integration before they can authorize traffic

+# MCP gateway
+
+Native MCP routing using the official [Rust SDK](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/rust-sdk), pinned to `rmcp 3.4.1`. The crate exposes a mountable Axum router and an SDK `ServerHandler`
+
+The HTTP router serves `/mcp`, `/{server}/mcp`, `/mcp/{server}`, `/mcp/{server}/mcp`, legacy `/mcp/sse` and `/mcp/sse/messages`, `/mcp/enabled`, and `/mcp-rest/tools/list` and `/mcp-rest/tools/call`. Streamable HTTP supports stateless requests and legacy initialize/session flows. The caller supplies the shutdown token, allowed hosts, allowed origins, and server identity through `HttpConfig`
+
+`NativeGateway` aggregates upstream tools, prompts, resources, and resource templates. Tool and prompt calls resolve registered server prefixes, including prefixes containing hyphens. Resource names receive prefixes while their URIs remain unchanged, and reads require exactly one selected server. Tool allowlists apply to discovery and execution. Upstream pagination is drained with cycle detection. Aggregate tool listings retain healthy servers and expose sanitized outcomes under `_meta["litellm.ai/server_outcomes"]`, while scoped REST listings preserve upstream failures
+
+## Integration
+
+Construct `Server` entries from connected SDK peers and pass a `Registry` to `NativeGateway::new`. Keep their `RunningService` handles alive in the host and cancel them during shutdown. SDK peers can use stdio, Streamable HTTP, or another SDK transport. Connection establishment, outbound credentials, HTTP client pools, and reconnection remain owned by the host
+
+Mount `router(operations, config)` behind the gateway's authentication middleware before merging it with other endpoint routers. `Registry` is an authorized static catalog, not an authenticator. Production hosts must authenticate all requests, including initialize, SSE GET, session POST, and DELETE. Authentication middleware may insert `SessionOwner` into request extensions to bind sessions to a stable principal across credential rotation. Otherwise sessions bind to a digest of the presented credentials and requested server scope
+
+Implement `ServerResolver` to select authorized peers and tool permissions for each request. It receives HTTP headers and trusted extensions through `Context.parts`, plus the downstream MCP request context when available. Path and `x-mcp-servers` scopes can narrow that selection, never broaden it. Outbound headers are not copied automatically
+
+Wrap `Operations` to integrate guardrails, spend logging, virtual tools, and other policy. Both MCP and REST execution use this interface. Database management, OAuth/BYOK services, toolsets, OpenAPI conversion, and semantic search are integration responsibilities in this stage, rather than new implementations in this crate
+
+`RelayClient::for_request` forwards sampling, elicitation, roots, and progress to the originating downstream client. Create it for that request's upstream connection and retain the connection until execution completes. Do not share this relay across callers. Sampling can instead be handled by an injected SDK `ClientHandler` backed by inference
+
+## Local interoperability check
+
+From the repository root, this loopback-only example runs the existing Python MCP fixture through the SDK's stdio transport. It has no admission authentication and is intended for local testing
+
+```sh
+cargo run --manifest-path litellm-rust/Cargo.toml -p litellm-gateway-mcp --example stdio_proxy -- \
+  .venv/bin/python -c 'import runpy; runpy.run_path("tests/mcp_tests/mcp_e2e_upstream_server.py")["mcp"].run(transport="stdio")'

+# Gateway UI
+
+Provides UI login and sessions independently of the frontend build layout
+
+`router(backend, store, secure_cookies)` serves login, session, and discovery endpoints without reading files. `static_assets(directory)` mounts any static export under `/ui/`, preserving its file layout and directory redirects. The export must use relative asset URLs or URLs rooted at `/ui/`; missing paths return 404. No framework or asset directory name is assumed
+
+Compose them with Axum:
+
+```rust
+let ui = litellm_gateway_ui::router(backend, store, true)
+    .merge(litellm_gateway_ui::static_assets(directory));
+```
+
+`dashboard_assets(directory)` wraps the generic mount with the existing dashboard's `_next` aliases and branding routes. The `gateway` executable explicitly selects that adapter to preserve existing dashboard URLs. A different frontend can use `static_assets` or supply its own Axum router
+
+`gateway` owns environment configuration and server startup. `gateway-auth` implements the local administrator backend and the `UiSession` extractor. The login response and discovery schema still follow the current dashboard's HTTP contract
+
+Run from `litellm-rust` with an existing dashboard export and a gateway config:
+
+```sh
+export LITELLM_CONFIG=/path/to/config.yaml
+export LITELLM_UI_PATH=/path/to/litellm/proxy/_experimental/out
+export UI_USERNAME=admin
+read -rs UI_PASSWORD
+export UI_PASSWORD
+cargo run -p litellm-gateway
+```
+
+Open `/ui/login/` to sign in. HTTPS cookies are enabled by default. For local HTTP development only, set `LITELLM_UI_SECURE_COOKIES=false`. Omitting `LITELLM_UI_PATH` leaves UI routes disabled. `UI_PASSWORD` is required when the UI is enabled, and never falls back to the inference master key
+
+`POST /v2/login` accepts JSON credentials and returns the dashboard's token and redirect URL. `axum-login` handles authenticated sessions through `tower-sessions`. Login rotates the session, sets an absolute 24-hour expiry, and issues an HttpOnly `litellm_session` cookie. The JavaScript-readable `token` cookie contains display claims and a CSRF token in its `key` field. It contains neither the master key nor the session ID
+
+`GET /session/info` and `POST /session/logout` require both the session cookie and `Authorization: Bearer <key>` from the dashboard token. The session's stored user determines authorization; client-supplied JWT claims do not. Logout deletes the server-side session and clears both cookies. JSON-only login prevents cross-origin form submissions, and login attempts use a shared token bucket with a burst of ten and a refill rate of ten per minute per gateway process
+
+The gateway uses a process-local Moka session store with expiry and a capacity of 10,000 sessions. Restarts invalidate sessions, and capacity eviction can sign users out early. Multi-process deployments need a shared `SessionStore` supplied to the router
+
+The current scope is local administrator login, sessions, discovery, and static assets. SSO, database-backed users, cross-origin workers, custom URL prefixes, and management APIs are not implemented. Dashboard screens that call management APIs still require those routes. UI request and response bodies are excluded from the inference gateway's debug body logger
+
+Run the regression suite from `litellm-rust` without a browser, dashboard build, running proxy, or provider credentials:
+
+```sh
+cargo test -p litellm-gateway-ui -p litellm-gateway-auth -p litellm-gateway --locked -- --test-threads=1
+```
+
+`gateway-ui/tests/routes.rs` tests discovery, login, cookies, validation, rate limits, CSRF, expiry, password changes, session rotation, and logout through the real Axum router with an injected session store and no asset files
+
+`gateway-ui/tests/assets.rs` tests a plain HTML/JavaScript/CSS export without a Next.js directory, including redirects and path traversal rejection. Separate compatibility cases cover the existing dashboard aliases and branding
+
+`gateway-auth/tests/ui.rs` checks credential matching, empty configuration, user lookup, and password-dependent session hashes. `gateway/tests/server.rs` checks optional mounting, the production Moka store, credential isolation from inference, local HTTP cookies, and exclusion of login secrets from logs
+
+The command runs serially because the existing gateway logging test can lose tracing events during concurrent tests
+
+These tests cover the gateway's HTTP contract. They do not execute the dashboard's JavaScript or verify visual rendering

+# Rust gateway
+
+The binary reads YAML from `LITELLM_CONFIG` and mounts configured MCP servers alongside inference routes. MCP startup requires a resolvable `general_settings.master_key`. Every MCP and REST request uses the gateway's shared authentication middleware
+
+## Run MCP locally
+
+From the repository root, start the Python fixture in one terminal:
+
+```sh
+MCP_HOST=127.0.0.1 MCP_PORT=8090 .venv/bin/python tests/mcp_tests/mcp_e2e_upstream_server.py
+```
+
+Start the gateway in another terminal with the example configuration:
+
+```sh
+LITELLM_MASTER_KEY=local-mcp-key \
+LITELLM_CONFIG=litellm-rust/crates/gateway/mcp_config.yaml \
+HOST=127.0.0.1 PORT=4000 \
+cargo run --manifest-path litellm-rust/Cargo.toml -p litellm-gateway
+```
+
+Call a tool through REST:
+
+```sh
+curl -sS http://127.0.0.1:4000/mcp-rest/tools/call \
+  -H 'Authorization: Bearer local-mcp-key' \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"server_id":"math","name":"add","arguments":{"a":2,"b":3}}'
+```
+
+MCP clients can connect to `/mcp` or the scoped `/math/mcp` endpoint with the same admission credential. Tool names on the MCP endpoint carry the configured alias or server-name prefix
+
+## Configuration behavior
+
+`Config::load` resolves nested `include` files once in breadth-first order. Included lists append and other top-level values replace earlier values. Paths resolve relative to the declaring file, with the root config directory as a fallback
+
+`environment_variables` provides scalar overrides to the injected secret source and HTTP settings without changing process globals. Credentials, static headers, URLs, and stdio environment values can reference `os.environ/NAME`. Model providers and MCP share the host's HTTP settings, including TLS certificates and environment proxies. Explicit environment HTTP settings take precedence over `litellm_settings`
+
+Each MCP entry supports HTTP or stdio transport, an optional pinned `server_id`, alias, tool allowlist, timeout in seconds, and positive `max_concurrent_requests`. Omitted or empty tool allowlists allow all upstream tools. HTTP entries accept `static_headers` and static API-key, bearer, basic, authorization, or token credentials. Stdio entries accept `command`, `args`, and `env`. Use explicit secret references in `env` to pass configured credentials to a child process
+
+The gateway initializes upstreams before opening its listener. Startup fails when credentials cannot be resolved or an upstream cannot initialize. Shutdown cancels upstream connections and terminates owned stdio children
+
+The config schema preserves Python sections, but parsing a section does not implement its service. MCP OAuth, database-backed server management, guardrails, spend accounting, local Python tools, and legacy SSE upstream connections remain unimplemented. Unsupported MCP settings and configured guardrail policies fail at startup. Incoming legacy SSE clients remain supported

+Own the HTTP driver for hosted calls, including response-body demand, cancellation, and lifecycle observation
+
+`serve` and `serve_unary` receive an optional `ObservationSender` separately from active hooks. Observation works with `()` hooks and covers response conversion and body delivery
+
+Keep endpoint paths, request parsing, deployment selection, and API-specific response and error formats in gateway-inference
+
+Depend on the neutral host protocol, never on core routes, Python, or gateway crates
+
+Do not spawn producer tasks or buffer chunks ahead of HTTP body demand

+`litellm-host-native` is the Rust driver for hosted calls. `Driver` owns the machine, a `HostCallHandler` and a `Interceptors`; `advance()` answers services and hooks inline and returns at completion or at the next stream boundary, holding the `Reply<ControlFlow<()>>` until the consumer calls `advance()` or `detach()` again. Dropping the driver drops the machine and so cancels the call
+
+The consumer decides demand, so the driver never spawns a producer task and never buffers chunks ahead of demand. `litellm-host-http` polls it from the response body; `in_process::run_hosted` polls it on behalf of a `StreamConsumer`. Both observe lifecycle terminals themselves, the driver reports none
+
+Depend on `litellm-host` only. HTTP encoding stays in `litellm-host-http`; `litellm-host-python` drives the machine directly so Python callbacks stay in the caller's asyncio task
+
+`services.rs` owns `HostCallHandler` and its borrowed and no-service implementations. This is the Rust driver's handler contract; the shared host crate owns the service request protocol

 - Target invariants; implementation and runtime validation may lag these rules
-- Keep this crate the CPython runtime adapter and nothing more: Serde marshalling, interpreter detachment, tokio/asyncio glue, the `Execution` handle, the call driver and the `PythonLifecycle`/`ProtocolHost` traits
+
+## Boundary with Python consumers
+
+This crate owns CPython execution mechanics for generic `litellm-host` machines and hooks. Consumers supply domain bindings, host operations, public result construction and callback policy. Neither Rust dependencies nor Python imports may require LiteLLM route modules or legacy `Logging`
+
+`src/native.rs` belongs here: it runs a generic machine through the Python runtime and owns its pending execution and abort handle. Keep provider selection, request projection and public exception policy out of it. A rename to `machine_runner.rs` is optional and must not change behavior
+
+The execution handle receives its Python lifecycle binding from its consumer through `PythonLifecycle` rather than import a fixed `litellm.rust_bridge` module. Generic suspension and execution state validation belong here; public stream wrappers and `_hidden_params` conventions belong to the consumer
+
+Creating a resolved asyncio Future from an already constructed Python value belongs here, alongside runtime waiting, interpreter detachment and panic containment. Choosing which callable exceptions become a public `RuntimeError` belongs to the consumer; `python-bridge::callable::wrap_failure` owns that policy
+
+The driver owns ordering: start, argument preparation, prepared-argument hooks, binding decode and machine start. Fallible per-call resource setup supplied by the consumer runs after all argument hooks, using the prepared argument view, and before provider work. Setup failure follows the existing terminal failure path. Creating or discarding an unstarted coroutine must not initialize clients, acquire credentials or capture execution context
+
+Boundary tests exercise behavior with a supplied lifecycle binding without importing the LiteLLM Python package. Pin inline awaiting, awaitable final values, exception identity, cancellation, re-entry and release of retained objects, rather than module names or source layout
+
+`HookChain` composes Python runtime hooks in order. Each argument, wire-request and response transformation feeds its result to the next hook. After all argument transformations, the driver calls `arguments_prepared` on every hook in order. Retained callback views must adopt that dictionary before later policy hooks can mutate or reject it. SDK policy is supplied by bridge composition as a hook, never a separate driver phase or parameter. Hooks implement only the stages they need; default stages preserve the supplied values
+
+Terminal notifications share the selected response or exception. An ordinary notification error is reported as unraisable and does not skip the next hook or replace the selected outcome. Preparation, interception and transformation errors stop the chain. Cancellation stops all further hook dispatch. Suspensions stay inline in the existing driver, and the chain traverses retained event values for GC
+
+## Existing runtime invariants
+
+- Keep this crate the CPython runtime adapter and nothing more: Serde marshalling, interpreter detachment, tokio/asyncio glue, the `Execution` handle, the call driver and the `PythonBinding`, `PythonHostCalls` and `PythonOwned` traits, and the `PythonRuntime` specialization of `host::hooks::CallHooks`
   - No LiteLLM domain dependencies beyond `litellm-host`: no route types, no `Logging` policy, no public API registration, no cdylib build features
-  - The driver emits `Succeeded` or `Failed` exactly once and never dispatches after a cancellation; which Python objects consume those events is the adapter's business
-  - `ProtocolHost::project` receives the keyword view the adapter's `begin` returned, rewritten in place by the route's `Preflight`, not the caller's dict; a protocol host that projects from it inherits the adapter's rewrites (for the legacy adapter: setup, deployment hooks) and the preflight's (credential inheritance)
-  - A native failure, including one a host op returns as `InvokeError::Native`, is classified exactly once through the route's `classify`; a Python exception raised inside the call, and a failure in `begin` or `after_success`, is raised as is
-  - A failing `classify` is raised with the native error's text as its `__context__`, never swallowed
+  - `PythonCallHooks` only constrains the shared call-stage interface to `PythonRuntime` and Python ownership. It must not redeclare the stages
+  - `PythonCallEvent` is a specialization of the shared `CallEvent`, never a separately defined lifecycle. The driver emits `Succeeded` or `Failed` exactly once and never dispatches callbacks after a cancellation; which Python objects consume those events is the legacy adapter's business
+  - `CallOptions` can publish snapshots independently of callback delivery. Terminal snapshots follow completed hook dispatch, and cancellation never calls a Python callback. For Python-driven calls, leave the machine's observation publisher unset so the driver is the sole publisher of intercepted provider-response snapshots
+  - `PythonBinding::decode_request` receives the keyword view returned by `prepare_arguments` and updated by `arguments_prepared`, not the caller's dict; a binding that decodes from it inherits all composed argument rewrites
+  - A native failure, including one a host op returns as `InvokeError::Native`, is classified exactly once through the binding's `map_error`; a Python exception raised inside the call, and a failure in `prepare_arguments` or `transform_response`, is raised as is
+  - A failing `map_error` is raised with the native error's text as its `__context__`, never swallowed
 - Use standard PyO3 ownership and conversion APIs
   - Prefer `Bound<'py, T>` for attached operations/results, `Py<T>` for retention; binding/unbinding does not copy payloads
   - Use `pythonize` for selected Serde data, never a JSON-text round trip; share conversion with `Pythonized<T>`

+`litellm-host` defines typed calls, execution hooks, host services, stream delivery and the resumable machine. HTTP and Python drivers interpret the same suspension protocol in their own runtimes
+
+| Responsibility | Shared contract | HTTP | Python |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Input and output conversion | `Protocol::{Request, Response, StreamHead, Chunk, Error}` | Typed input; `ResponseEncoder` and `StreamEncoder` produce HTTP values | `PythonBinding` decodes prepared arguments, encodes public values and maps native errors |
+| Host services | `Protocol::HostCall`, `HostServices::call` | `host-native::services::HostCallHandler` answers typed calls; `()` handles protocols without host calls | `PythonHostCalls` invokes retained Python objects; it may share an owner with the binding |
+| Active hooks | `Interceptors::{before_provider_request, after_provider_response}` and `hooks::CallHooks<Runtime>` | Request interception and fallible execution callbacks | `PythonCallHooks` also prepares arguments, transforms public responses and receives stream callbacks |
+| Passive observation | `observation::ObservationSender` | Queued execution and lifecycle snapshots, retained by the response body | Public Python callbacks remain active hooks with their existing failure policy |
+| Runtime driving | `Machine`, `HostRequest::{HostCall, Intercept, Stream}` | Body polling controls demand | Native polling and inline caller-task Python awaits control progress |
+
+`hosted_call(request, observers, execute)` starts with a typed request. Its route closure receives separate `HostServices`, `ChannelInterceptors` and optional observation publisher; it returns `CallOutput`. Hosted-call plumbing alone forwards the returned stream through demand replies. Lower-level `CallMachine` users receive a `CallContext` containing separately named services, interceptors, observers and stream delivery
+
+Core route constructors prepare their dependencies and return a closure accepting the typed request. Python starts that closure only after argument preparation, preflight and decoding succeed. These steps remain inside the driver's terminal and error handling. Decoding may retain objects for subsequent host service calls
+
+Each driver owns terminal dispatch. Hooks can change or fail execution; passive observers return no result. HTTP observes success after response conversion or stream exhaustion, failure on errors, and cancellation on body drop. Python preserves exception identity and maps native failures once. Explicit Python stream close reports success for delivered chunks; cancellation stops further callback dispatch
+
+`interceptors.rs` owns `Interceptors` and its request/response payload types. `lifecycle.rs` owns `CallObserver`, `CallEvent`, `ExecutionEvent`, timing, failure origin, and the observation wrappers. Event payloads are generic so a runtime can retain its own response, exception and raw-response references without introducing a language dependency. `snapshot()` projects them into the owned observation contract without retaining runtime objects. Pass interceptors and observers separately at direct route and HTTP entrypoints. Routes publish execution events independently of interception
+
+`hooks.rs` owns the call-stage interface and its runtime-associated types. It contains no Python types or legacy callback policy. A runtime supplies its context and continuation representation through `HookRuntime`
+
+`protocol.rs` owns `Protocol` and suspension messages, including `InterceptRequest` and `StreamDelivery`. `call.rs` owns route outputs and their adaptation into a hosted machine. Rust service handling belongs in `host-native::services`; coroutine channel handles stay in `machine/context.rs`
+
+Rust handlers answer suspensions through `litellm-host-native::Driver`, which `litellm-host-http` and `litellm_host_native::in_process` share. `in_process::Host` is an assembly of services, interceptors, stream consumer and optional observation publisher. It is not a trait mirroring every suspension. Use `run_hosted` to preserve the distinction between stream completion and detachment
+
+Keep API policy in gateway-inference and python-bridge, and legacy callback policy in callbacks-legacy-python. Python bindings and hooks expose retained references through `PythonOwned`, with idempotent close and GC traversal. Runtime machinery stays in driver, native, handle and runtime modules
+
+Interceptors run inline and can rewrite values or fail execution. Observers consume owned `CallEvent` snapshots from `observation_channel`; its bounded `ObservationSender` never waits for delivery and counts events dropped when the queue is full or closed. The host owns receiver processing and draining. Pass the same publisher to machine construction and the driver when one receiver should collect execution and lifecycle events. Legacy Python callbacks retain their existing awaited, fallible behavior through the Python adapter
+
+`ExecutionFacts` and `ResultSource` describe execution without pricing or budget policy. `Interceptors::result_ready` delivers these facts through an awaited `InterceptRequest::ResultReady`; hosts receive them before response transformation or stream delivery. `ExecutionEvent::ResultReady` is the matching lifecycle event and can also be published as a passive snapshot. Accounting must consume the awaited path rather than a lossy observation queue

+# Resumable execution
+
+`Machine` is the driver-facing contract for a resumable execution. `CallMachine` implements that contract with `litellm_coroutine::Coroutine`, holding the async execution of a route invocation. Resuming continues that same execution, which may request host services, invoke hooks, and deliver many stream chunks
+
+## File ownership
+
+| File | Responsibility |
+| --- | --- |
+| `mod.rs` | Module declarations and public exports |
+| `contract.rs` | `Machine`, its step and interruption futures, and host failure values |
+| `coroutine.rs` | `CallMachine`, coroutine state conversion, execution futures, and machine faults |
+| `context.rs` | The route's services, hooks, and stream handles, sharing one coroutine channel |
+
+Keep the contract independent of the coroutine implementation. Drivers and wrappers can implement `Machine` without constructing a coroutine. Keep existing public imports through `litellm_host::machine` stable when reorganizing private modules
+
+Credential acquisition contracts and reusable adapters belong in `litellm-auth-types`. A route can use `TokenProviderHandle::from_callback` to request a credential through `HostServices::call`. Keep authentication policy and token-specific traits out of the machine layer
+
+## Execution and replies
+
+The coroutine polls the route future until it completes or yields a `HostRequest`. Each request carries a typed `Reply` that its driver must answer before resuming, or abandon when interrupting or dropping the execution. A pending network future is an ordinary async wait, not a host suspension
+
+`CallContext` gives the route separate capabilities: `HostServices` requests host operations, `ChannelInterceptors` requests interception, `ObservationSender` publishes events, and `StreamSender` delivers stream values. Keep their yield-and-reply mechanics in `context.rs`. The actual service and hook implementations belong to the host. This follows the effect-handler pattern: the route requests an operation, the driver handles it, and the route continues with the reply. The suspended computation stays in the coroutine; `Reply` only supplies its result
+
+Stream replies use `std::ops::ControlFlow<()>`. `ControlFlow::Continue(())` permits stream execution to continue. `ControlFlow::Break(())` tells it that the consumer stopped reading. Holding the reply applies backpressure until the consumer advances. Keep stream forwarding and the distinction between stream exhaustion and detachment in `crate::call::hosted_call`
+
+`CallMachine::interrupt` cancels the coroutine and returns the supplied failure. Dropping `CallMachine` drops its execution future. Preserve both behaviors and do not spawn a producer task or poll stream chunks ahead of consumer demand
+
+## Host responsibilities
+
+Rust drivers live in `litellm-host-native` and `litellm-host-http`. The Python driver lives in `litellm-host-python` and awaits Python hooks in the caller's task. Keep runtime scheduling, encoding, terminal observation, and callback policy in those layers and their adapters
+
+Public behavior tests belong in `crates/host/tests`; private behavior tests stay inline with their owning implementation. Test suspension answers, interruption, resource release, and stream demand through behavior, rather than asserting file layout

+The same ownership rule applies to Messages, Responses, Chat Completions, OCR, and other API formats. This crate owns their shared API data contracts. Adapter contracts and shared transformation machinery belong in `llms/src/base_llm/<format>/`, provider policy in `llms/src/<provider>/<format>/`, and call orchestration in `core/src/<format>/`. A provider originating a format, or several providers using a type, does not change these responsibilities. Existing model locations outside this crate are not exceptions to this rule for new shared API contracts
+
+- `litellm-llms-types` owns shared API data contracts and their serialization
+  - A type belongs here when it describes a request, response, event, or value that consumers must agree on independently of how a call executes
+  - Being public, serializable, or used by several crates is not sufficient
+  - These are intended boundaries, not a claim that every existing item follows them
+
+- Organize public API contracts under `formats`: `messages`, `chat_completions`, `responses`, `ocr`, `audio_transcription`, and `batches`
+  - Use names such as `litellm_llms_types::formats::messages::MessagesRequest`, without an Anthropic prefix solely because Anthropic designed Messages
+  - Keep one canonical definition and import path when moving a contract, updating consumers together instead of adding duplicate models or compatibility re-exports
+
+- Keep shared provider-specific wire types and extensions under `providers`
+  - Provider types may reuse format types; format types must not depend on provider types
+  - A field belonging to an API format stays under `formats` even when provider support varies. Including it in a type does not promise provider support
+  - Add a typed provider extension when a consumer needs to interpret or construct it. Keep adapter-only projections in `llms` until a shared public data contract is needed
+  - Keep one authoritative representation of each field, preserving unknown fields without duplicating typed values in an extension map
+  - Provider capability checks, defaults, authentication, header selection, and transformations remain in `llms`
+
+- Keep format-independent data helpers such as `headers`, `recognized`, and `serde_compat` at the crate root
+
+- Shared request/response bodies, message and content-block enums, usage records, tool-call chunks, stream-event payloads, and protocol error bodies belong here
+  - This includes LiteLLM's normalized response contracts and extensions, not just exact upstream schemas
+  - `ChatCompletionsResponse` currently represents the response handed to the host, so replacing it with a supposedly more complete upstream schema must not silently change that contract
+  - Messages web-search result/error schemas and encrypted-content fields belong to the Messages format regardless of which providers implement them
+
+- Shared LiteLLM input data such as `ProviderSpecificHeader` and `ProviderSpecificHeaders` also belongs here
+  - Selecting entries for a provider belongs in `core-utils`, and applying headers belongs in `http`
+  - A genuinely provider-specific wire value may retain its provider name: `AnthropicBeta` and `BetaSet` describe the `anthropic-beta` header
+  - Parsing, formatting, deduplication, and value equality belong with those types
+  - Choosing required betas, OAuth companions, header precedence, or credentials belongs in `llms` and the auth crates
+
+- Allow deterministic constructors, accessors, serialization, schema generation, and validation of the represented data shape
+  - `ContentBlock::text`, `ResponsesWsEvent::model`, and `Recognized::known` are examples
+  - Exact value conversions such as `EffortLevel` to the matching `ReasoningEffort` are acceptable
+  - Clamping effort, choosing a thinking budget, rewriting content, mapping finish reasons, computing normalized usage, and translating between API formats are policy or transformations and belong outside this crate, even when they are pure functions
+
+- Keep call envelopes and execution state in their owning crates
+  - `MessagesCall`, `MessagesShaping`, prepared provider requests, and the response wrapper containing a live stream belong in `core`
+  - Provider config traits, `MessagesTransformContext`, `MessagesModelCapabilities`, `ThinkingBudgets`, `StreamShape`, and transformer state belong in `llms`
+  - Catalog records and pricing belong in `model-catalog`, which may reuse wire enums such as `ReasoningEffort`
+  - Host hooks, Python objects, credentials, clients, timeouts, and routing decisions do not become API payload types merely because they cross a crate boundary
+  - Legacy logging operation selection belongs in `callbacks-legacy-python`, not this crate
+
+- Stream-event data belongs here, but live streams, decoders, framing, buffering, and stream lifecycle decisions do not
+  - Keep SSE and AWS framing in `framer`, provider decoding and conversion in `llms`, and call orchestration in `core`
+  - `ResponsesWsEvent` belongs here
+  - `ResponsesWsTransformResult` wraps the output of a provider transformation rather than a wire event and lives in `llms::base_llm::responses::transformation`
+  - Protocol error payloads may live here, while operational errors remain in the crate that raises them
+
+- Keep provider-only wire envelopes and transformation-specific projections local until there is a shared API contract to expose
+  - `InvokeChunkPayload` and the permissive `ReplayedWebSearchResult` projection serve decoding or rendering and should not be promoted unchanged into public schemas
+  - Reuse existing shared message contracts inside batch and token-counting adapters without moving every adapter struct into this crate
+  - Shared normalization intermediates such as the prompt factory's `Conversation` stay with their algorithms in `core-utils`
+
+- Keep this crate at the bottom of the dependency graph
+  - Use data, serialization, and optional schema libraries without depending on workspace execution crates, async runtimes, transport clients, or Python bindings
+  - No network or filesystem I/O, environment lookup, clock access, model catalog lookup, or global configuration reads belong here
+  - Defaults must describe the data contract, not select runtime policy
+
+- Represent known discriminators such as `tool_use` and `server_tool_use` with enum variants
+  - Preserve each contract's existing treatment of unknown variants, extra fields, missing fields, and explicit nulls
+  - `Recognized<T>` deliberately retains values that fail typed parsing, including wrong-shaped values, so use it only where permissive passthrough is already part of the contract
+  - Typing an opaque field must neither reject previously accepted inputs nor accept malformed inputs previously rejected
+  - Do not silently discard unknown data or tighten a partial projection into a stricter public schema
+
+- Test observable serialization, malformed-input rejection, unknown-value preservation, and value semantics in this crate
+  - Follow the workspace test-placement and `rstest` rules
+  - Test provider transformations, header policy, and stream execution in their owning crates
+  - Do not test import locations or Rust source structure as substitutes for behavior

+This directory owns shared Messages API data contracts and serialization: request and response bodies, messages, content blocks, usage, and stream-event payloads. Messages is a format independent of the provider that originated it. Keep one canonical definition of each shared contract here
+
+Adapter contracts and execution inputs such as `MessagesTransformContext` belong in `llms/src/base_llm/messages`. Provider rewriting and interpretation belong in `llms/src/<provider>/messages`. Call envelopes, live streams, and call orchestration belong in `core/src/messages`
+
+Represent web-search results, encrypted-content fields, and thinking configuration as data here. Decisions to flatten results, remove encrypted content, select thinking budgets, or require beta headers belong to provider transformations. Data-shape validation belongs here, while model capability checks and request adaptation do not

-Use the base OCR and Mistral OCR pairs as the reference when aligning transformations. Derive `src/<relative_path>.rs` from `litellm/llms/<relative_path>.py`, preserving meaningful basenames such as `messages_transformation`
+Use the base OCR and Mistral OCR pairs as the reference when aligning transformations. Use `src/<provider>/<format>/transformation.rs` for provider transformations. Python paths identify counterparts but do not dictate Rust module names
 
 Keep corresponding operation names and parameter names when their responsibilities match. Rust types retain the Python semantic name with Rust acronym casing (`BaseOCRConfig` / `BaseOcrConfig`, `MistralOCRConfig` / `MistralOcrConfig`). Private Python helpers can drop their leading underscore. Give Rust adapter helpers distinct responsibility names rather than duplicating trait method names

 Use named `#[rstest]` cases for independent input/output scenarios instead of loops or repeated calls in one test. Inject reusable setup with `#[fixture]` arguments and use `#[with(...)]` for fixture overrides. Keep assertions about the same result together
 
-For base OCR, Python response models live next to `BaseOcrConfig` in `src/base_llm/ocr/transformation.rs`, as they do in Python; Rust context/environment types support the runtime. `BaseOcrConfig::prepare_request` corresponds to Python's HTTP-handler preparation rather than a `BaseOCRConfig` method, and `validate_request_body` is a Rust-only hook. `src/base_llm/ocr/error.rs` and `src/base_llm/ocr/document.rs` are Rust-only: the OCR error taxonomy shared with the route, and inline-document helpers shared by several providers
+Shared OCR document and response contracts live in `litellm-llms-types::formats::ocr`. `BaseOcrConfig` and decoding into adapter errors remain in `src/base_llm/ocr/transformation.rs`. Rust context/environment types support the runtime. `BaseOcrConfig::prepare_request` corresponds to Python's HTTP-handler preparation rather than a `BaseOCRConfig` method, and `validate_request_body` is a Rust-only hook. `src/base_llm/ocr/error.rs` and `src/base_llm/ocr/document.rs` are Rust-only: the OCR error taxonomy shared with the route, and inline-document helpers shared by several providers
 
 For Mistral, `async_transform_ocr_request` uses the base default in both languages. `resolve_headers` and `build_ocr_url` implement the respective environment and URL operations, and `normalize_response` implements the typed part of response transformation. Existing auth key/header handling and top-level response-extra preservation differ between languages; layout refactors must preserve those behaviors and verify them with the existing tests
 
 For non-OCR pairs, order corresponding methods as parameter support/mapping, environment validation, URL construction, request transformation, and response transformation, followed by Rust-only runtime hooks. Auth resolution remains split between configs and route preparation in litellm-core. Chat `supported_openai_param_mappings` describes accepted OpenAI/provider name pairs, unlike Python's `get_supported_openai_params` name list. Audio `map_transcription_params` remains a Rust filtering helper
 
-Azure Messages maps to `llms/azure_ai/anthropic/messages_transformation.py`; Bedrock Converse maps to `llms/bedrock/chat/converse_transformation.py`. `AnthropicConfig`, `AmazonConverseConfig`, and the non-OCR base traits are partial ports. `OpenAiResponsesApiConfig` currently implements only the WebSocket surface.

+Azure Messages maps to `llms/azure_ai/anthropic/messages_transformation.py`; Bedrock Converse maps to `llms/bedrock/chat/converse_transformation.py`. `AnthropicConfig`, `AmazonConverseConfig`, and the non-OCR base traits are partial ports. `OpenAiResponsesApiConfig` implements WebSocket transformations and a direct HTTP Responses path. Its HTTP path does not implement Python model-specific parameter rewriting or Responses-to-Chat emulation. Preserve their acceptance gates, passthrough behavior, and host fallback contracts when aligning layout
+
+## Provider and format boundaries
+
+The same ownership rule applies to Messages, Responses, Chat Completions, OCR, and other API formats. `litellm-llms-types` owns shared API data contracts. `llms/src/base_llm/<format>/` owns provider adapter contracts and shared transformation machinery. `llms/src/<provider>/<format>/` owns provider implementations and policy. `core/src/<format>/` owns call orchestration. Repeating a format name identifies the API each layer handles, not duplicate ownership of its schema. These boundaries also apply between modules in the same crate
+
+A provider adapter may explicitly reuse another provider's transformation helper when that policy applies to its backend, such as Bedrock's Claude adapter using Anthropic payload shaping. Reuse across hosts of the same model family does not make the policy format-wide. Keep provider policy out of shared trait defaults and generic normalization, and keep shared execution contexts limited to inputs the adapter contract actually needs. Pure payload rewrites belong with transformations, not transport handlers
+
+- These are intended boundaries, not a claim that all existing code already satisfies them
+- Preserve behavior and conceptual boundaries. Python names and layout are reference points, not requirements to reproduce its class hierarchy or helper structure
+- Provider directories own provider behavior. API formats and their public data contracts are independent of the provider that originated them
+- Shared `base_llm` contracts must not import provider implementations or provider-specific transformation policy
+- Config traits represent actual provider contracts. Use composition and existing helpers instead of recreating inheritance with unnecessary traits or delegation layers
+- Providers choose authentication and header policy. Shared auth and HTTP infrastructure apply those decisions
+- Generic configuration lookup belongs in the existing settings utilities, not in a provider directory
+- Closures are idiomatic Rust, but a `Vec<ContentBlock> -> Vec<ContentBlock>` helper is not automatically a useful abstraction
+- Choose traversal for the operation: per-block mapping, filtering, or whole-message processing when blocks depend on one another
+- Add an abstraction only when it clarifies a repeated responsibility
+- Verify observable auth precedence, headers, serialization, passthrough, and transformations, not code structure

+This directory owns Anthropic's implementation of the Messages adapter contract in `base_llm/messages`. Shared Messages API data contracts belong in `litellm-llms-types::formats::messages`, and call orchestration belongs in `core/src/messages`. Sharing the `llms` crate with `base_llm/messages` does not erase this boundary
+
+Payload shaping, metadata filtering, tool-ID rewriting, web-search replay handling, thinking translation, and beta selection are provider policy. Keep them here or in Anthropic helpers shared by its operations. Pure payload shaping belongs with transformations, even if an existing file is named `handler.rs`
+
+Bedrock and Azure adapters may explicitly reuse these helpers where Anthropic policy applies to their Claude backend. That reuse does not make the policy part of the shared Messages contract or a default for every provider. Shared `base_llm` code must never depend on this implementation
+
+`web_search_result`, `web_search_tool_result_error`, and encrypted-content fields are protocol data owned by `litellm-llms-types`. Keep those schemas separate from decisions about flattening, encrypted results, beta requirements, and model capabilities

+This directory owns Azure's Messages adapter: its endpoints, authentication policy, headers, and transformations. Implement the shared adapter contract from `base_llm/messages`, consume API data contracts from `litellm-llms-types::formats::messages`, and leave call orchestration to `core/src/messages`
+
+The Claude adapter may explicitly reuse payload policy from `anthropic/messages` when it applies to Azure's Claude backend. Keep Azure-specific differences here. Sharing that helper does not make Anthropic policy a format-wide default or justify a dependency from `base_llm/messages` on provider implementations

+This directory owns the shared Messages provider adapter contract, its execution inputs such as `MessagesTransformContext`, and provider-independent transformation machinery. Public request, response, content-block, and event schemas belong in `litellm-llms-types::formats::messages`. Call orchestration belongs in `core/src/messages`, and provider implementations belong in `llms/src/<provider>/messages`
+
+Do not import provider implementations or embed their policy in shared trait defaults, normalization, or context defaults. A context carries inputs the shared adapter contract needs, not every provider's settings. Thinking-budget choices and model-specific restrictions do not become format rules merely because several providers host Claude
+
+Shared normalization must implement LiteLLM's provider-independent Messages input contract. Provider-specific metadata filtering, tool-ID rewriting, web-search replay policy, beta selection, and thinking translation belong in the provider implementation. Let each adapter explicitly opt into applicable shared provider helpers

+This directory owns Bedrock's Messages adapter: its endpoints, authentication policy, wire adaptation, and response decoding. Implement the shared adapter contract from `base_llm/messages`, consume API data contracts from `litellm-llms-types::formats::messages`, and leave call orchestration to `core/src/messages`
+
+The Claude adapter may explicitly reuse payload policy from `anthropic/messages` when it applies to Bedrock's Claude backend. Keep Bedrock-specific differences here. Sharing that helper does not make Anthropic policy a format-wide default or justify a dependency from `base_llm/messages` on provider implementations

 - Target invariants, not completion claims; these supersede the crate guidance below where they conflict

+## Boundary migration
+
+Keep domain composition here and execution mechanics in `litellm-host-python`. A helper does not belong in the runtime adapter merely because it uses PyO3. LiteLLM argument rules, provider defaults, public responses, public exception policy and cache or secret-manager compatibility remain product responsibilities
+
+The bridge supplies the Python lifecycle binding and public stream construction to the runtime adapter. Preserve the single inline coroutine driver; removing the host's hardcoded import must not introduce another driver or a separate asyncio task for caller hooks
+
+`src/callable.rs::wrap_failure` owns callable exception policy here. Resolved-Future construction uses `litellm-host-python::ready_future`, passing an already constructed Python value. Keep cache-specific serialization and disabled-cache results here
+
+Implement the migration in separate steps that preserve public API contracts: first defer route resource setup until prepared arguments and preflight are available, then supply the lifecycle binding and separate public stream construction, then relocate the two helpers. Change the host interface and its consumers together in each step. The `native.rs` rename is optional and comes last
+
+Each step needs focused regression tests in the owning crate and Python integration coverage where the public contract crosses crates. Verify deferred setup and setup failure ordering, caller task and context identity, sync and async streams, exception provenance, cancellation and GC. Use a fresh installed extension to verify Python behavior and update `_native.pyi` when public signatures change. Do not treat these instructions as evidence that the migration is complete
+

   - Own registration, input projection, the route host and the caller callables it answers operations with (file readers, token providers), public response/error construction and the per-call composition of machine, route host and callback contract
-  - Legacy callback sharing (the caller's args, kwargs and request object, body/header roots, re-aliasing unchanged body keys) lives in `litellm-callbacks-legacy-python` behind `PublicCall` and `run_legacy_call`; the bridge hands the public call over and keeps no copy

   - Core owns typed native state, the route machine, provider preparation/I/O and normalization; the host driver owns terminal events; the legacy adapter in `litellm-callbacks-legacy-python` owns `Logging` dispatch policy
   - Python, Rust SDK and gateway use one lifecycle-bearing core route entrypoint; provider helpers stay private, never bridge-accessible transport drivers
   - Built-in provider/config/secret/auth/document preparation stays in Rust; caller-authored callbacks and focused Python-file reads run only at core-selected points
 - Target GIL-enabled CPython explicitly with `#[pymodule(gil_used = true)]`; detach Rust-only work

+# Cache boundary
+
+This folder owns Python cache API compatibility: argument projection, facade identity, public result construction, Python embedding calls and per-operation composition of native backends. Cache algorithms, storage protocols and response-cache semantics belong to their cache crates
+
+`mod.rs` exposes the cache boundary to routes and module registration; adapter directories remain private. `selection.rs` owns global cache selection, route admission and inference protocol composition for both adapters. `runtime.rs` exposes the Python-facing runtime that can wrap either native storage or a Python callback. `future.rs` converts cache results into ready Futures
+
+`python/` delegates operations to the selected Python cache without discovering configuration. `native/` owns native backend construction, configuration projection, facade validation, embedding and storage bindings, including experimental V2 handles. Neither adapter depends on shared selection or the other adapter. Shared composition depends on the adapters, and routes use only the parent module's exports
+
+`SemanticExecution` belongs here because its steps select cache operations and invoke the Python embedder. Use the shared `Execution` handle and inline lifecycle driver; do not duplicate coroutine state validation, runtime waiting or GIL machinery. Python embedding awaits stay in the caller's task, and cancellation must prevent later backend or batch operations from starting
+
+Resolved asyncio Future construction is generic host machinery. Use `litellm-host-python::ready_future` with an already constructed Python value. Keep cache-specific conversion and disabled-cache return values here. Preserve the Future-returning API and running-loop requirement
+
+Tests for Future mechanics belong in `host-python`; tests for disabled-cache values, embedding failure policy, batch sequencing and cancellation belong with this cache adapter. Assert public behavior rather than the location or name of a helper

+# Native cache bindings
+
+This directory constructs and exposes Rust cache backends to Python. It owns backend configuration projection, facade validation, native request conversion, semantic embedding integration and experimental V2 handles. Cache algorithms and storage protocols remain in their cache crates
+
+Accept the cache object or projected configuration selected by the parent module. Do not read global `litellm.cache`, decide route admission, or select the Python cache adapter here
+
+Keep Python-facing cache classes and method signatures stable when reorganizing modules. Native internals stay private to this directory unless the shared cache boundary or Python module registration needs them. Python embedding awaits use the existing inline lifecycle driver, preserving caller task identity and cancellation
+
+Verify changes with the existing backend and facade tests using a freshly built extension. Test cache behavior, not module paths or file structure

+# Python cache delegation
+
+This directory lets Rust inference use a selected Python cache. `service.rs` implements the injected Rust response-cache service and yields typed cache operations. `host.rs` calls the Python cache's sync or async API and delivers the result back to Rust. `callback.rs` provides Python cache delegation for the Python-facing cache runtime
+
+Keep the shared inference protocol wrapper and adapter selection in the parent module. Receive the configured cache and prepared arguments from the parent module. Do not discover global configuration, choose native backends, or move inference to Python. Core remains independent of Python objects and cache implementation details
+
+Await asynchronous cache operations through the existing host driver in the caller's task. Do not create another asyncio task or event loop. Cancellation must prevent subsequent provider requests and cache writes. Preserve ordinary cache failure handling without swallowing cancellation or other Python base exceptions
+
+Traverse retained Python references for GC and release pending replies when the call closes. Regression tests must require native inference with Python fallback disabled and assert observable hits, provider request counts, cache-key headers, task identity and cancellation

+# Route boundary
+
+These invariants apply to lifecycle-bearing public calls; value-oriented APIs that return an already running Future retain their explicit contract
+
+Route modules own public argument projection, route-specific host operations, response and error construction, and composition of the core route with the Python host. Provider dispatch, transport execution and normalization belong to core and provider crates. Runtime waiting, cancellation mechanics and execution state validation belong to `litellm-host-python`
+
+Before execution starts, perform only admission checks needed to select native execution or legacy fallback. Do not fully project a request just to decide admission. Keep effectful settings reads, HTTP client acquisition, secret-source construction and caller context capture inside execution, after argument preparation and SDK preflight. Configure resources from that prepared view, never the original entrypoint kwargs
+
+The host driver owns sequencing and terminal events; the bridge supplies fallible resource composition without exposing route types to the driver. An unstarted async call performs no resource setup. Setup errors after start follow the terminal failure contract and never authorize fallback or provider replay
+
+Use the shared `run_public_call` boundary with hooks supplied by bridge composition. `callbacks-legacy-python` owns legacy argument sharing and `Logging` dispatch behind `PublicCall` and `LegacyLogging`. Route bindings supply `callbacks-legacy-python::LoggingOperation` when composing legacy logging and may retain the request needed for projection, but must not duplicate the legacy callback contract
+
+Regression tests must observe that an unstarted call does no setup, hook and preflight rewrites affect resource configuration, setup failures reach the selected failure handler once, and provider work is not replayed. Retain existing read-point and object-identity guarantees while changing setup timing

 # Native diagnostic tracing

+`litellm-tracing` connects standard `tracing` spans and events to a host-provided `Sink`. It has no Python dependency. Hosts choose scoped dispatch or explicitly install a global subscriber
 
-Use the exported `debug!`, `info!`, `warn!`, and `error!` macros in native code. A host creates a `Logger` with its sink, uses `scope` for synchronous operations, and wraps futures with `instrument`. Instrument spawned futures explicitly because thread-local subscribers do not automatically follow spawned work
+Use upstream `tracing` macros and `#[tracing::instrument(skip_all, fields(...))]` in native code. A host creates a `Logger` with its sink, uses `scope` for synchronous operations, and wraps futures with `instrument`. Propagate both spans and dispatch into spawned work and returned streams. `Logger::current()` captures the current dispatch. Existing event macro re-exports remain available
 
 Bindings implement `litellm_tracing::Sink` to connect events to their host runtime:

 Records retain event metadata, the message, and typed event fields. Sink filtering runs for each event so runtime level changes take effect. Logging from inside a sink is suppressed to prevent recursion
 
+`sink_layer(sink)` exposes the same adapter as a composable `tracing_subscriber::Layer`, with an independent dynamic filter. It records span field updates and inherits fields from outer to inner spans, with event fields taking precedence. Closing a span emits `span closed` at the span's level with `span_name` and monotonic `duration_ms`. Delivery rechecks the sink filter. Core records route outcomes and retains route spans until a stream ends, fails, or is dropped

 The Python bridge scopes native execution to a sink that uses LiteLLM's existing Python logger. It preserves request correlation, redacts before delivering to handlers, maps Rust trace events to Python debug, and reports handler failures through `sys.unraisablehook`. It accepts LiteLLM targets only, keeping dependency wire diagnostics out of the application logger
 
 Python consumers continue using `litellm._logging` and its existing loggers, filters, formatters, and context setters. Catalog dispatch selects the processing backend for both Python and native diagnostics. The pure `Processor` takes explicit settings and never emits events

+# Python v2 cache
+
+Keep `litellm._v2.cache.Cache` import-compatible when reorganizing this package. This package owns Python cache factories and the adapter between the existing `BaseCache` interface and `NativeCacheHandle`
+
+Construct native handles at this boundary and inject the adapter through the existing cache facade's `_backend` parameter. Keep the facade's `type`, namespace, and TTL consistent with the configured native backend
+
+Keep storage implementation in the Rust storage crates and response-cache policy in `litellm-cache-response` and core. Do not duplicate cache-key generation, freshness rules, response encoding, or inference orchestration here
+
+Preserve synchronous and asynchronous cache operations, including TTL forwarding and lifecycle methods. Validate Python values before passing them to typed native interfaces. Keep native extension imports lazy so importing the package does not require loading the extension
+
+Extend the existing v2 cache tests in `tests/test_litellm_rust/test_v2.py` for behavioral changes, following that directory's `AGENTS.md`. Test observable cache behavior rather than package layout or implementation structure

-Only days that are over get rolled up, so a pod still flushing per-key spend for the current
-day can never leave the global table short; usage reads serve days through the recorded
-marker from the global table and later days live from the per-key table. Per-key rows are
-dated by request start, so spend can land on a day that was already rolled up (a flush
-straddling midnight, a retry after an outage). Each run therefore also rewrites every closed
-day that has rows touched since the previous run's scan, whatever the date. The marker lives
-in ``LiteLLM_Config``. This runs as a background cron, never in a Prisma migration, since on

+# Python boundary
+
+This package owns native rollout and fallback selection, Python public API compatibility, settings projection and the Python bindings supplied to the Rust bridge. Rust core owns provider execution; `litellm-host-python` owns CPython runtime mechanics; `callbacks-legacy-python` owns legacy callback sharing and dispatch policy
+
+`lifecycle.py` owns generic inline execution and stream iteration. `streams.py` supplies the product binding and public stream wrappers through the bridge rather than let the generic Rust host import this package by name. Keep one driver implementing `start`, `resume_value`, `resume_error` and idempotent `close`; do not create a second implementation
+
+Generic execution steps and inline suspension handling must not depend on LiteLLM response metadata. Public stream construction, `_hidden_params` and header compatibility remain product responsibilities. Keep generic stream heads opaque and preserve public header behavior in the product wrappers
+
+Await each selected suspension in the caller's task so hooks retain thread, loop and context identity. A final awaitable value is returned as a value, not awaited implicitly. Closing, cancellation and `GeneratorExit` release the execution without replaying provider work or starting further callbacks
+
+Native admission may select legacy before execution starts. A failure after execution starts is terminal and never authorizes fallback. Creating an unstarted native coroutine must not acquire clients or credentials or capture execution context
+
+Verify cross-language behavior using a fresh installed extension, including unstarted-call release, setup ordering, exception identity, sync and async streams, cancellation and GC. Keep `_native.pyi` accurate about Future-returning and coroutine-returning APIs

 - **key**: Updates no longer send an empty `budget_duration`, which the proxy rejects with a 400; any update to a key without a configured `budget_duration` previously failed outright
 - **key**: A config-supplied `key` value (write-only) is now forwarded to `/key/generate`; previously it was silently dropped and the proxy generated a random key instead
 - **security**: The `litellm_key` data source and `litellm_key_block` resource normalize raw `sk-` keys to their SHA-256 token hash before building request URLs and resource IDs, so plaintext keys no longer land in reverse-proxy access logs, Terraform plan output, or state IDs
+- **unified_access_group**: create now accepts any 2xx response instead of requiring exactly HTTP 200; `POST /v1/unified_access_group` legitimately returns 201, so creation previously succeeded on the proxy but failed in the provider, leaving the group out of state and forcing a `terraform import` to recover on the next apply's 409. Same fix and shape as the one already applied to `mcp_server`/`model`/`key`/`organization_member`; `handleResponse` (shared by several other resources) was the one status-check helper that fix didn't reach. The legacy `litellm_access_group` resource calls the unrelated `/access_group/new` endpoint, which already returns 200, so it was never affected

+"""Canary values and the canary search used by every credential sweep.
+
+A canary is a unique fake credential planted in one slot (one place the proxy can hold a
+credential). Its value is ``<field prefix>lkc-<slot id>-<32 lowercase hex core>``; the slot id
+names the source when a sweep finds it, and the random core is what every sweep searches for.
+
+API:
+
+- ``SLOTS``: slot id -> ``Slot(identity, description, prefix)``. Stacked suites add their slots
+  here. ``MARKER`` is not a credential; it is the sensitivity marker sent in message content to
+  prove that a sweep can see the surface it walks.
+- ``canary(slot_id) -> Canary``: a fresh value per call. Call it inside the test (or the fixture
+  that owns the config holding it), never at import time, so leftovers from earlier runs cannot
+  match.
+- ``find_canary(blob, canaries, *, budget_bytes=DECODE_BUDGET_BYTES) -> tuple[Match, ...]``:
+  every canary whose core occurs in ``blob`` either raw, inside any base64-looking run after
+  decoding it (standard and URL-safe alphabets, padded or not, at every 4-character alignment),
+  or inside a gzip member wherever it starts in the blob. Decoding is applied recursively, so a
+  gzip body carrying a ``Basic`` header value is still searched. JSON and URL encoding leave a
+  hex core unchanged, so the raw search covers them. A properly masked value such as
+  ``sk-...e71b`` is not a match. The search is bounded (three nested layers and ``budget_bytes``
+  of decoded output per blob) and raises ``DecodeBudgetExceeded`` rather than returning a
+  partial result.

+"""The owned proxy every canary scenario runs against, with its provider and sink doubles.
+
+``canary_rig(root)`` starts a provider double and a ``generic_api`` sink double, writes an owned
+config derived from ``tests/integration/proxy_config.yaml`` and starts an owned proxy on it:
+
+- ``store_prompts_in_spend_logs`` is on, so the stored request body exists for every sweep;
+- Redis response-cache entries live 600 s, longer than any scenario's sweeps;
+- spend logs flush every second (``proxy_batch_write_at``) and callbacks flush every second
+  (``DEFAULT_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SECONDS``), so ``eventually`` converges quickly;
+- provider-default routes (file, batch, container lists with no deployment) resolve to the
+  provider double through ``OPENAI_BASE_URL``, and the remote catalogs (cost map, blog posts,
+  beta headers, autorouter presets, policy templates) are read from the package, so a route
+  sweep never leaves the machine;
+- ``HTTP(S)_PROXY`` points at an egress trap that answers every connection with 403 and
+  records its first line; the rig fails on exit if the proxy tried to reach any non-loopback
+  host (``Rig.egress()`` lists the attempts so far);
+- the config ``model_list`` declares ``CONFIG_MODEL`` whose ``api_key`` is a fresh slot B1
+  canary, reaching the provider double at ``<provider>/v1``.
+
+API:
+
+- ``canary_rig(root, *, configure=None, environment=None, upstream=None, sink_token=SINK_TOKEN)
+  -> Iterator[Rig]``. ``configure(config, provider_url)`` may edit the parsed config before it
+  is written (add deployments, settings, callbacks); ``environment`` adds or overrides proxy
+  environment variables; ``upstream`` replaces ``chat_upstream`` as the provider double's
+  handler. ``sink_token`` is the bearer the ``generic_api`` double requires and
+  ``GENERIC_LOGGER_HEADERS`` sends; pass a ``Canary`` (slot G1 style) to plant a sink credential,
+  and ``Rig.own_headers`` then allows that one header to carry it (pass it to ``sweep_all``).
+- ``Rig.model_id``: the router's ``model_info.id`` for ``CONFIG_MODEL`` (read from
+  ``/model/info`` once the proxy is up). Pass it as ``ids["model_id"]`` so the
+  ``{model_id}`` routes (``/credentials/by_model/{model_id}``, ...) resolve the deployment.
+- ``Rig.proxy``: the owned proxy ``Gateway`` with its master key (the ``LITELLM_MASTER_KEY``
+  from ``environment`` when a scenario overrides it). ``Rig.canaries``: config-held
+  canaries by slot id. ``Rig.provider`` and ``Rig.sinks[name]``: ``Recorder`` objects whose
+  ``requests()`` returns every request received so far (the underlying queue is drained into a
+  list, so repeated polls keep earlier requests).
+- ``chat_upstream(request)``: an OpenAI chat double that echoes the last user message and
+  answers HTTP 400 when the message contains ``PROVIDER_4XX``.
+- ``SINK_TOKEN``: the default static bearer the ``generic_api`` sink authenticates with.
+- ``team_caller(scenario) -> Caller``: a team, an ``internal_user`` on it and a virtual key for
+  that user on that team (allowed ``CONFIG_MODEL``). Scenarios send traffic with ``Caller.key``
+  and pass ``Caller.callers(rig)`` to ``sweep_all`` so S2 reads every route as the admin and as
+  the internal user.
+- ``settle(rig, request_id, marker)``: wait (bounded) until the spend row for ``request_id``
+  is written and every sink double has received an event carrying ``marker``, so the sweeps
+  that follow read the finished state instead of racing the asynchronous writers.

+"""Sweeps: every place a canary must NOT appear, searched with ``find_canary``.
+
+Each sweep returns ``Hit(sweep, location, slot, encoding)`` records; ``assert_no_hits`` fails
+with a table that names the slot, the sweep and the exact location, so the code path that copied it is
+usually obvious from the failure alone. The sweeps are generic on purpose: a new table, a new
+GET route or a new copy of the request body is covered without editing this module.
+
+API:
+
+- ``sweep_database(canaries, *, database_url=None) -> tuple[Hit, ...]`` (S1): every base table
+  of every non-system schema from ``information_schema.tables``, read as
+  ``SELECT to_jsonb(t)::text FROM "<schema>"."<table>" t``. Location is ``table.column``
+  (``schema.table.column`` outside ``public``); a table dropped mid-sweep is skipped. With
+  ``since``, the append-only log tables in ``TIME_SCOPED_TABLES`` are read from ``since`` on
+  (minus ``SCOPE_SLACK``), so the sweep stays fast on a database shared by many tests.
+- ``get_routes() -> tuple[str, ...]`` and ``sweep_routes(gateway, canaries, ids, *, callers)``
+  (S2): every GET route registered on the proxy app (``app.routes``, which includes the
+  routes hidden from the OpenAPI spec and every lazily registered feature router), enumerated
+  once per session by importing the app in a child interpreter. Path parameters are filled from
+  ``ids`` (parameter name -> value), then from ``DEFAULT_IDS``; any other parameter gets
+  ``PLACEHOLDER_ID`` so the route is still called and its (usually 404) response still searched.
+  A parameter in ``REAL_ID_REQUIRED`` is never given a placeholder (the proxy would call a public
+  provider); such a route is skipped unless ``ids`` supplies it. Routes called with a placeholder
+  or skipped for want of a real id are listed in ``RouteSweep.unfilled``; pass real ids to make
+  them return data. ``route_denied(route)`` names why a route is skipped: ``ROUTE_DENY_LIST``
+  holds the routes that stream forever, redirect into an external flow or contact an external
+  service, and ``PROVIDER_PASSTHROUGH`` matches the ``/<provider>/{endpoint:path}`` routes that
+  forward to the provider (swept by the pass-through slots, not by S2). Every response is searched
+  whatever its status; responses with status >= 500 are also listed in ``RouteSweep.errors``.
+  A call that got no response at all (timeout, reset) is listed in ``RouteSweep.unreachable``,
+  and ``sweep_all`` fails on it, since that route went unchecked. ``ADMIN_ONLY_ALLOWANCES``
+  names exact ``(route, caller label)`` pairs allowed to return a credential by design, and
+  ``ALLOWANCE_SLOT_FAMILIES`` the slot families each pair may return; those hits land in
+  ``RouteSweep.allowed`` instead of ``hits``, while any other slot on that route, and every other
+  caller of it, is still a hit. A route whose path parameters all came from ``ids`` must not
+  answer the admin with 404 (an id the scenario passed is wrong, so the route saw no data);
+  such calls are listed in ``RouteSweep.not_found`` and ``sweep_all`` fails on them, except the
+  routes in ``NOT_FOUND_EXPECTED``. ``PARAMETER_ALIASES`` fills a parameter from another id for
+  the routes where the name misleads (``/v1/models/{model_id}`` takes the public model name, so
+  it is filled from ``ids["model"]``, while ``/credentials/by_model/{model_id}`` takes the
+  router's deployment id).
+  ``RouteSweep.statuses`` maps each call's location to its status code. ``record_route_sweep(routes, node)`` appends the report to
+  ``$INTEGRATION_RESULTS_DIR/security-route-sweep.jsonl`` (a CI artifact). With ``since``,
+  the log list routes (``SCENARIO_SCOPED_LIST_ROUTES``: ``/spend/logs``, ``/spend/logs/ui``,
+  ``/spend/logs/v2``) are called with this scenario's request id, user id and a date window
+  (summarized for ``/spend/logs``; ``since`` to ``since + LIST_WINDOW`` with ``LIST_PAGE_SIZE``
+  rows for the paginated two) instead of unfiltered. A 4xx from one of those calls is listed in
+  ``RouteSweep.rejected`` and ``sweep_all`` fails on it, since the route then returned no rows.
+  ``scoped_queries(route, ids, since)`` returns the query strings S2 uses for a route.
+- ``sweep_responses(responses, canaries) -> tuple[Hit, ...]`` (S3): body and headers of every
+  client-facing response the scenario received.
+- ``sweep_sink(name, requests, canaries, *, own_header=None) -> tuple[Hit, ...]`` (S4): every
+  byte a sink double received (gzip bodies are inflated by ``find_canary``). ``own_header`` is
+  the ``(header name, slot)`` pair the sink legitimately authenticates with; that one header may
+  carry that one canary.
+- ``sweep_redis(canaries, *, host, port) -> tuple[Hit, ...]`` (S5): ``SCAN`` of every key, with
+  strings, hashes, lists, sets and sorted sets dumped and searched along with the key name.
+- ``sweep_all(gateway, canaries, *, responses, sinks, ids, callers=None, own_headers=None,
+  since=None) -> SweepReport``: S1 to S5 in one pass for a finished scenario. Search the scenario's marker
+  and its credential canaries together; ``SweepReport.credential_hits()`` is every hit that is not the
+  marker, and ``assert_marker_seen(report, expected)`` is the per-test sensitivity control
+  (``expected`` maps a sweep id to a location substring the marker must be reported at).

+"""Slots H1 and H2: pass-through, vector store and search tool credentials reach only their upstream.

+Each test boots an owned proxy whose config declares all three credentials against one
+recording upstream double:
+
+- H1: a pass-through endpoint whose ``Authorization`` header is ``Bearer os.environ/<name>``,
+  with the canary in that environment variable;
+- H2: an OpenAI vector store in ``vector_store_registry`` with the canary as ``api_key``;
+- H2S: a Perplexity search tool in ``search_tools`` with the canary as ``api_key``.
+
+The test sends one request through the slot's route, and the upstream answers 200 or, when the
+request carries ``UPSTREAM_REJECT``, 401. Positive control: the upstream must receive
+``Authorization: Bearer <canary>`` on the request carrying the marker, or the test fails before
+sweeping. Sensitivity control: the marker must be reported where stored prompts belong. Then no
+sweep may find any of the three canaries.

+- sensitivity control: the marker sent in the message is reported where stored prompts belong;
