Subject: [PATCH 10/47] fix(files): paginate the unscoped managed file listing

The owner-scoped listing read every row the caller owns in one query, so an
admin key that owns every file on the proxy pulled the whole table into one
response. Page it with a keyset cursor on unified_file_id instead, and accept
limit and after on GET /v1/files so a client can walk the pages. limit follows
what OpenAI documents for that route: 1 to 10000, default 10000.

An after cursor is resolved inside the caller's own scope, so an id they do not
own gets a 400 rather than a page, and has_more now reflects whether another
row exists instead of always being false.

Subject: [PATCH 12/47] fix(files): keep the list cursor usable on a filtered
 page

A page whose rows are all dropped by the purpose filter, or by a row
that does not parse, used to come back with an empty data list, has_more
true and last_id null, so the caller had no cursor to advance with and
stopped one page short of files it owns. last_id now falls back to the
last row the page read.

Also drops the OpenAIFilesPurpose import that the widened purpose
annotation left unused.

Subject: [PATCH 13/47] fix(files): return 400 for a limit outside the
 documented range

The unscoped GET /v1/files limit check accepted 0, which OpenAI's minimum
of 1 does not allow, and the route's except block rebuilt every error with
getattr(e, "status_code", 500). ProxyException has no status_code, so the
400 it raises went out as a 500 and the OpenAI SDK retried it three times.

Errors now go through handle_exception_on_proxy, the helper the sibling
batches route already uses, and the unknown-cursor error is a ProxyException
so it carries type invalid_request_error and param after instead of the
literal "None". The cursor still 400s whether the file belongs to someone
else or does not exist at all

Subject: [PATCH 14/47] fix(files): never hand the sdk an empty page while
 matches remain

The managed file listing cut the page to `limit` first and applied the
purpose filter in Python afterwards, so a page whose rows all failed the
filter came back as `data: []` with `has_more: true`. openai-python stops
paging the moment `data` is empty, so `files.list(purpose="batch", limit=1)`
returned nothing at all instead of every batch file.

Read successive keyset chunks until the page holds `limit + 1` matches or
the caller's rows run out, then return at most `limit` of them. `data` is
now non-empty whenever matching files remain, its last id is always a
usable cursor, and `has_more: false` only ever means the caller has seen
everything. Rows whose stored blob will not parse drop out in the same
loop, so they cannot empty a page either.

That also makes the `next_cursor_id` escape hatch on `build_list_page`
dead, so it goes back to what it was for the batch and vector-store
listings that share it.

Also move `validate_file_list_limit` up into the list_files route, so the
target_model_names and provider branches reject an out-of-range limit the
same way the managed file store already did.

Subject: [PATCH 15/47] fix(websearch_interception): end the turn when the
 agentic loop hits its ceiling

When the bounded loop cap or the repeated tool-call fingerprint guard refused a
rerun, the raise escaped the parent agentic frame and the client got the raw model
turn back: HTTP 200 carrying an unresolved tool_use block for the internal
litellm_web_search tool and stop_reason "tool_use". The client never declared that
tool, so it had no way to answer it and the conversation could not continue

The safety check now raises AgenticLoopSafetyError, a ValueError subclass, and
_call_agentic_completion_hooks catches it and returns a finalized response: the
blocks belonging to the refused tool calls are dropped, and stop_reason is closed
out to end_turn when nothing the client declared is still waiting. Refused blocks
are matched by the ids and names of the tool calls the rail refused rather than by
hardcoding the web search tool name

Only the non-streaming anthropic messages path ends the turn this way. A streaming
caller has already sent the original message by the time the hooks run, so a
finalized turn would arrive as a second message rather than replace the first, and
the responses surface carries a pydantic model this finalizer does not rewrite.
Both keep raising, exactly as they did before

Also adds max_agentic_loops to websearch_interception_params so the ceiling can be
set once for the whole feature. A per deployment litellm_params.max_agentic_loops
still wins over it, and the field stays on the proxy's untrusted root list so a
client cannot raise its own ceiling

+## Loop Ceiling
+
+One intercepted request can chain several follow-up model calls, since the model often searches again after
+reading the first set of results. `max_agentic_loops` caps how many of those follow-ups run, and it defaults
+to 3. LiteLLM also breaks the loop early when the model asks for the exact same tool call twice in a row.
+
+Set the ceiling on the feature, which the interceptor applies to `/v1/messages` requests:
+
+```yaml
+litellm_settings:
+  websearch_interception_params:
+    enabled_providers: ["bedrock"]
+    max_agentic_loops: 5
+```
+
+Or per deployment, which wins over the feature-level setting:
+
+```yaml
+model_list:
+  - model_name: claude-sonnet-4-5
+    litellm_params:
+      model: bedrock/us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929-v1:0
+      max_agentic_loops: 5
+```
+
+Clients cannot set it. `max_agentic_loops` is on the proxy's untrusted-field list, so a request body that
+carries it is ignored and one request can never drive an unbounded number of upstream model calls.
+
+When the ceiling is reached, the turn ends there and the client gets the last response back with the internal
+`litellm_web_search` tool call removed and `stop_reason: end_turn`. The client never declared that tool, so
+leaving the block in would hand it a tool call it has no way to answer. The answer can be less complete than
+it would have been with more loops, which is the tradeoff the ceiling buys
+

 ## Streaming Support
 
 WebSearch interception works transparently with both streaming and non-streaming requests.

Subject: [PATCH 16/47] fix(files): bound the queries a filtered file page can
 cost

The chunk loop read `limit + 1` rows at a time, so a small limit whose
matches sit far behind the newest rows advanced a couple of rows per
query. A `purpose` that matches only the last of 10000 owned rows at
`limit=1` cost 5001 sequential find_many calls for one HTTP request,
which any authenticated caller could ask for on purpose.

Once a scan has to continue past its first chunk, widen the chunk to
FILE_LIST_CONTINUATION_CHUNK_SIZE. That same case now costs 21 queries.
The first chunk keeps its `limit + 1` size, so a page the newest rows
already fill still costs exactly one query and reads nothing extra.

Rows whose blob will not parse drop out of a page the way a filter does,
so they get the bound too, not just the purpose filter.

The floor only changes how many round trips a page costs, never what it
returns: chunk boundaries do not affect a keyset scan, so the page is
still `matches[:page_size]`, `has_more` is still `len(matches) >
page_size`, and empty data still implies `has_more` false.

Subject: [PATCH 17/47] docs: scope the loop-ceiling docs to the paths the fix
 actually covers

ARCHITECTURE.md promised the clean end_turn for every intercepted request.
A request that streams all the way through and one on /v1/responses both
still hand back the internal tool call, so say that plainly instead. Also
note that where the refused call was the only block left, the turn can come
back with no text in it.

On AgenticLoopSafetyError, note that the chat completions loop still raises
a plain ValueError from its own copy of the rails, so nobody writes an
except for this type expecting it to cover that surface too.

Subject: [PATCH 20/47] fix(files): hand post-call hooks a page object, not a
 bare dict

The managed hook returned the plain dict build_list_page builds, while
every other GET /v1/files path returns an SDK page object. A post-call
success hook or a logging callback that reads response.data off the
listing raised AttributeError as soon as a request took the managed path

FileListPage is a pydantic model over the same five fields, so hooks read
.data again and the response body does not move: jsonable_encoder gives
the same keys in the same order for the model and for the dict. It sits
in litellm.types.llms.openai because base_llm/files/transformation.py
already imports from there and cannot import proxy modules. It is
deliberately not subscriptable, since the provider-backed path returns a
page object that is not either, and dict access would be a third contract
to keep alive

Also reject a purpose the Files API never accepts. An unknown purpose
matches no row, so the listing answered an empty page for what is really
a bad request, while the upload route in this same file already refuses
those values against get_args(OpenAIFilesPurpose). The check runs before
the first query, and only in the managed hook, so providers that define
their own purposes keep them

Also put back the route's original except tail. Sending every error
through handle_exception_on_proxy changed error.type on a bad
target_model_names from "None" to the exception class name, which a
caller matching on the body would read as a break. create_file in this
file already pairs base's tail with a ProxyException passthrough, so
list_files does the same and the handle_exception_on_proxy import is gone

+the last response back with the internal `litellm_web_search` tool call removed and `stop_reason: end_turn`.
+The client never declared that tool, so leaving the block in would hand it a tool call it has no way to answer.
+The answer can be less complete than it would have been with more loops, which is the tradeoff the ceiling
+buys. Where the refused call was the only block left, the turn comes back with no text in it at all.
 
-Streaming is covered by the same path rather than a separate one, because interception always converts an
-intercepted `stream=True` request to non-streaming before the loop runs, then rebuilds the SSE stream from the
-finalized turn. So the ceiling is reached on a response the client has not seen yet either way.
+Non-streaming is not a limitation on the client here, because a client that asked for a stream gets the same
+treatment. Interception converts an intercepted `stream=True` request to non-streaming before the loop runs and
+rebuilds the SSE stream from the finalized turn afterwards, so the ceiling is always reached on a response the
+client has not seen yet. The guard is written against the flag anyway, so a caller added later that reaches the
+loop with a stream already open keeps raising rather than replacing a turn that is halfway to the client.
 
 Two other surfaces do not get that treatment yet. `/v1/responses` returns its own shape that the finalizer does
 not rewrite, so it still hands back the internal call. And `/v1/chat/completions` runs its own copy of these

Subject: [PATCH 22/47] fix(files): accept OpenAI's evals purpose on the files
 routes

OpenAIFilesPurpose was missing evals, which OpenAI documents. The upload
route validates against that set, so POST /v1/files with purpose=evals was
already being rejected, and the new listing validator extended the same
rejection to GET /v1/files?purpose=evals, turning a purpose OpenAI accepts
into a hard 400. Nothing branches exhaustively on the type, so widening it
changes no routing.

The managed-file listing test fake only understood a created_by filter. The
OR filter a key carrying both a user_id and a team_id produces, the team_id
filter a service-account key produces, and the empty filter a proxy admin
produces all fell through it and returned every row, so the shapes most real
keys send went uncovered. The fake now applies the filter it is handed, and
the listing is tested against all three, including paging an OR filter
across a cursor.

Two docstrings claimed the continuation chunk bounds what a filtered page
costs. It bounds queries per row scanned; the walk is still linear in the
rows the caller owns.

Subject: [PATCH 23/47] test(files): update the managed-files test doubles to
 the current afile_list

Eleven DummyManagedFiles stubs still declared afile_list(self, purpose,
litellm_parent_otel_span). The real hook grew user_api_key_dict, limit and
after, so the doubles no longer stand in for the interface they replace.
Their tests pass today only because every one of them takes a provider
branch that never reaches the hook, which means a stub going stale is
invisible until some later test does reach it and reads a TypeError as a
behavior change.

Signatures only; no test changes behavior.

Subject: [PATCH 24/47] fix: emit content_block_start for every block in the
 rebuilt stream

A capped turn on a streaming request is rebuilt into SSE by
FakeAnthropicMessagesStreamIterator. It emitted content_block_stop for
every block but content_block_start only for text, thinking,
redacted_thinking and tool_use, so a web search turn's server_tool_use
and web_search_tool_result blocks produced stops with no matching start.

Anthropic's SDK accumulator appends on content_block_start and then
indexes content[event.index] on content_block_delta, so the orphan stops
shifted every later index and client.messages.stream() raised IndexError
on the text block. Unknown block types now pass through with a start of
their own, which keeps position equal to index.

Also corrects two claims that said no current caller reaches the loop
with stream=True. AgenticStreamingIterator does, and it keeps raising,
because its events are already on the wire.

Subject: [PATCH 25/47] fix(responses): mint Responses API item IDs in the
 completion bridge

The Chat Completions -> Responses bridge stamped the upstream chatcmpl-*
ID onto message output items, so replaying bridged history into native
OpenAI Responses failed with "Expected an ID that begins with 'msg'".
Image generation calls were minted as chatcmpl-*_img_N instead of ig_*,
and reasoning items used a salted hash() that is not stable across
processes.

Streaming minted msg_* for its incremental events but rebuilt the
response.completed snapshot through the same broken transform, so the
snapshot contradicted the events it had just sent and streaming clients
hit the same 400. The snapshot now reuses the IDs already streamed.

Fixes #27333

Subject: [PATCH 26/47] fix(responses): replay signed thinking blocks through
 the completion bridge

encrypted_content on a reasoning input item is written by LiteLLM's own
_encode_thinking_blocks as a JSON array of Anthropic/Bedrock thinking
blocks, so decode it back and replay the signed blocks on the assistant
message instead of dropping them. Providers without a native
ResponsesAPIConfig now keep the verifiable chain-of-thought across turns,
and prior-turn reasoning stops reaching the provider as visible
assistant text.

Subject: [PATCH 27/47] fix: validate max_agentic_loops wherever it is set

The ceiling was only checked at the feature level, on
litellm_settings.websearch_interception_params. The per-deployment
litellm_params.max_agentic_loops, which wins over it, went straight into
int(kwargs.get("max_agentic_loops", 3) or 3), so a 0 was swallowed by the
falsy fallback and read as the default 3. Asking for the tightest ceiling
handed you the loosest one. A non-integer booted the proxy and then failed
every request to that model with "invalid literal for int() with base 10".

Both settings now share one validator, which names the field it rejected,
and the per-deployment value is checked while the model list is read at
startup so a bad value stops the proxy rather than surfacing per request.
The check sits in load_config rather than on LiteLLM_Params because the
proxy builds its router with ignore_invalid_deployments=True, where a
validation error drops the deployment silently instead of refusing to
start. This is the same placement the complexity_router_config plugin
check already uses.

Chat completions read the same key through a separate path that turned 0
into 1 and true into a ceiling of 1, so it now shares the validator too
and the key means one thing on both surfaces.

 Clients cannot set it. `max_agentic_loops` is on the proxy's untrusted-field list, so a request body that
 carries it is ignored and one request can never drive an unbounded number of upstream model calls.
 
+Both places are validated at config load, and a value that is not an integer of at least 1 stops the proxy
+from starting rather than surfacing later. The per-deployment one is checked while the model list is read,
+not on `LiteLLM_Params`, because the proxy builds its router with `ignore_invalid_deployments=True` and a
+validator down there would drop the deployment silently instead of refusing to start.
+
 When the ceiling is reached on a non-streaming `/v1/messages` request, the turn ends there and the client gets
 the last response back with the internal `litellm_web_search` tool call removed and `stop_reason: end_turn`.
 The client never declared that tool, so leaving the block in would hand it a tool call it has no way to answer.

Subject: [PATCH 29/47] refactor(responses): rebuild the streaming snapshot
 output instead of mutating items

Align the response.completed item IDs by copying each output item rather than
writing to it in place, and move the regression cases into the existing
completion-response and image-generation test modules.

Subject: [PATCH 31/47] fix: keep accepting a loop ceiling that spells a whole
 number

The ceiling used to go through `int(... or 3)`, so anything `int()` accepted
worked. Tightening the new shared validator to `isinstance(int)` turned a
config that boots today into a proxy that refuses to start, because
`max_agentic_loops: os.environ/MAX_AGENTIC_LOOPS` is resolved to a string
before it reaches either check, and a YAML-quoted "5" is a string too.

Accept ints, integral floats, and strings that parse to a whole number. Keep
refusing bools, fractional floats, words, and anything below 1.

Subject: [PATCH 32/47] fix(ui): keep completion-mode models in the playground
 chat dropdown (#37954)

PR #36130 added a KNOWN_MODEL_MODES guard to isModelCompatibleWithEndpoint
that hides any model whose mode isn't in the ModelMode enum, to keep
rerank/ocr/batch/etc. models out of chat-style endpoints. mode: completion
(legacy text-completion models) wasn't in that enum, so it got caught by
the same guard and disappeared from every endpoint, including chat, where
it routes fine.

Add ModelMode.COMPLETION and map it to EndpointType.CHAT like the other
chat-compatible modes.

Guardrails, token counting and rate limiting share the input transform with
the provider path, so moving reasoning onto reasoning_content hid it from
them. Provider-bound callers opt in with replay_reasoning.

Subject: [PATCH 35/47] fix(proxy): keep a failed prisma generate from failing
 the migration entrypoint (#37947)

The standalone migration entrypoint re-runs `prisma generate` after the
migration completes. That refresh writes into the installed prisma package in
site-packages, which an arbitrary non-root uid cannot do, and which no uid can
do under a read-only root filesystem. Both are supported configurations of the
migrations Job: helm/litellm-helm/tests/migrations-job_tests.yaml asserts
runAsNonRoot, runAsUser and readOnlyRootFilesystem all render.

The write has always failed there, but the failure used to be swallowed. Making
migration failures fatal turned it into a hard exit 1, so a Job that applied
every migration correctly now reports Failed and blocks the rollout it was
supposed to gate.

The refresh is redundant in the shipped images: every Dockerfile generates the
client at build time from the same baked schema, copies it into the runtime
stage, and asserts it resolves there. It stays load-bearing only for a source
checkout, where CircleCI runs the entrypoint under `set +e` and ignores the exit
code anyway. So the call stays and only its exit code stops propagating;
migration failures are still fatal.

image-scan never ran on the change that introduced this, because its path filter
did not list the entrypoint it exercises. Add prisma_migration.py and
entrypoint.sh so the non-root offline migration test gates them from now on.

Subject: [PATCH 36/47] fix(docker): bump wolfi-base digest for busybox
 1.38.0-r1 and openssl 3.6.3-r5 (#37950)

The pinned base (built 2026-07-02) ships busybox 1.37.0-r61 and
libcrypto3/libssl3 3.6.3-r3. Grype reports 16 fixable findings against
those revisions, 8 of them High, so the image-scan gate fails once it
gets past the migration step.

The runtime stage's `apk upgrade` cannot clear them. wolfi-base writes an
exact `=version` constraint for every package it ships into
/etc/apk/world, so `apk upgrade` is a no-op even though the fixed
revisions are in the repo. Advancing them means moving the digest.

The new digest carries busybox 1.38.0-r1, libcrypto3/libssl3 3.6.3-r5
and glibc 2.43-r15, which is at or above the fix revision Wolfi's secdb
records for every finding. Verified with cosign against
chainguard-images/images release.yaml, and grype reports no fixable
findings on the rebuilt image.

CVE-2026-14456, CVE-2026-54876, CVE-2026-38752, CVE-2026-38753,

Subject: [PATCH 38/47] fix(guardrails): stop PII/PCI masking gaps in
 SpendLogs, debug logs, and logging_only response (#37965)

The Presidio guardrail masks messages in place inside pre_call_hook, but three
paths independently persisted or emitted the raw pre-guardrail data: the
SpendLogs proxy_server_request body snapshot (taken before the hook runs),
a verbose_proxy_logger.debug dump of the raw request, and logging_only mode's
async_logging_hook, which never masked the model's response before it reached
external logging callbacks.

Resolves LIT-6015

Subject: [PATCH 40/47] fix(proxy): make /team/member_delete's four cleanups
 atomic (#37959)

The team roster update, the user.teams update, the team membership
delete, and the team-scoped verification token delete ran as four
sequential writes with no transaction around them, so a failure
between any two left the removal half applied. Thread a single
prisma transaction through all four writes, following the same
tx.<table> pattern /team/member_add and /team/member_update already
use, so either all four land or none do.

Subject: [PATCH 41/47] fix(auth): resolve team object_permission independently
 in the unresolvable-team fallback (#37960)

* fix(auth): resolve team object_permission independently in the unresolvable-team fallback

When get_team_object fails for a token's team_id, _user_api_key_auth_builder
reconstructs a LiteLLM_TeamTableCachedObj from the token's own cached fields,
carrying team_object_permission_id but leaving object_permission unset. That
silently dropped any vector-store or MCP restriction the team carried,
granting more access than the token's own object_permission_id vouches for.

Resolve the object permission by its id directly via get_object_permission,
independent of the unreadable team row, matching how every other consumer of
a team's object_permission (vector store access checks, MCP tool/server
resolvers) already treats an unresolvable team as "no restriction at this
level" and re-resolves on its own.

* fix(auth): trim ticket references and narrative docstrings per Greptile review

Drop the LIT-5539 ticket id from test names and fixture strings, and shorten
both the new helper's docstring and the regression test docstrings to their
contracts rather than restating the fix's history.

 # _run_centralized_common_checks — centralized authz gate

From ba876c98e6727fca5c2f2740c4e6912d86ec2d49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Yassin Kortam <yassin@berri.ai>
Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2026 14:25:29 -0700
Subject: [PATCH 42/47] fix(auth): stop the team fallback from widening model
 access (#37962)

When get_team_object fails, the centralized auth gate rebuilds the team
from the token's own fields. A token whose team row was missing when the
key was read carries team_models=[] and team_blocked=False, and the
model-access check reads an empty model list as every model, so the
rebuilt team grants more than the real team ever did.

get_team_object reported a deleted team and a database that would not
answer as the same 404, so the fallback could not tell a definitive
answer from a degraded read. Raise a TeamNotFoundError subclass, still a
404 with the same detail so every other caller is unaffected, only when
the database answers and the row is absent.

A team that is provably gone now refuses, and no setting overrides that.
Otherwise the grant is merely unknown: a token carrying one may vouch,
since replaying a recorded grant cannot widen it, and a token carrying
none may not. allow_requests_on_db_unavailable still opts back out there,
and is only consulted once the failure is known to be a degraded read.

The Admin UI mints every session key against the UI_TEAM_ID sentinel,
which by design never has a team row, so every UI request hit the new
refusal with no override. Exempt UI_TEAM_ID explicitly so it keeps
reconstructing from the token unconditionally, matching how the MCP
handler and agent_permission_handler already special-case it.

Resolves LIT-5522

Subject: [PATCH 43/47] fix(prometheus): fold auth/pre-call time into
 litellm_request_total_latency_metric (#37958)

litellm_request_total_latency_metric's start_time is set inside
common_processing_pre_call_logic, which only runs after user_api_key_auth
has already succeeded, so the metric silently excluded authentication and
pre-call setup time despite being documented as total request latency. The
sibling litellm_request_queue_time_seconds metric had the same problem:
its arrival_time was captured after auth too, despite its own comment
claiming to track when the request arrived at the proxy.

request.state.litellm_received_at is now stamped unconditionally at the
very first line of user_api_key_auth (previously only when OTEL was
configured), giving a timestamp that precedes all auth work. Both metrics
now derive from it: queue_time_seconds genuinely spans arrival through the
start of pre-call processing, and the total-latency metric adds that
queue time on top of its existing start/end window so it becomes true
end-to-end latency.

queue_time_seconds ends exactly at start_time rather than a separately
captured timestamp, so its window and the total-latency window share a
boundary instead of overlapping and double-counting a few lines of setup
work on every request.

Subject: [PATCH 44/47] fix(responses-bridge): keep summary-only reasoning text
 scannable

A reasoning input item that carries only summary text is replayed to the
provider as reasoning_content, so inspection-only callers must see that
text too. They used to fall through to the generic content branch, which
reads content and drops a summary-only item, leaving guardrails and token
counters blind to text the model still receives.

Subject: [PATCH 45/47] test(e2e): harden the suite against response-cache
 cross-talk, slow providers and single upstream blips (#37957)

* test(e2e): send no-cache on every cacheable request body, opt in only where a hit is the assertion

The e2e proxy runs with the response cache on, so any test that re-sends an
identical chat, messages, responses, completions, embeddings or rerank body
reads back a redis copy of an earlier call instead of reaching the provider.
Five tests in the last week failed that way. Default cache: {"no-cache": true}
on those request models and pass cache=None only in the two tests whose
assertion is the cache hit itself.

* test(e2e): give image edits and OCR a 180s client timeout

Both routes wait on providers that can legitimately take longer than the
60s transport-wide request timeout (gpt-image edits, Azure Document
Intelligence), and a client-side read timeout there fails a green request.
post/upload now accept a per-call timeout like get already does; only those
two call sites use it.

* test(e2e): rerun once on network errors and upstream 5xx only

Assertion failures still fail on the first attempt; only an outcome whose
error string carries the e2e_http network kind or a 5xx status gets one
more try. Test Engine records every attempt, so the flake rate stays
visible while a single provider blip no longer reds the rc run.

* test(e2e): let the reseed burst survive one upstream failure and print why

The burst is the precondition, not the property: one 5xx among six
concurrent calls still leaves five workers racing the cold counter, which
is what the reseed assertion measures. Two or more failures still abort,
and the failing bodies are now in the message instead of only the status
codes.

* test(e2e): keep polling Jaeger through a transient query failure

poll_traces_for_call already waits up to POLL_TIMEOUT for spans to land,
but a single refused connection to the query API failed the test on the
spot. Jaeger restarted twice during today's gate runs (19:05 and 19:41
UTC, each under a minute) and took ten and three otel tests with it while
the same tests passed on the rc build minutes later. A network failure
now counts as not-yet inside the same deadline; if Jaeger is still
unreachable when the deadline passes the test fails with that error, and
any non-network failure still fails immediately.

Subject: [PATCH 46/47] fix(proxy): omit litellm_batch_guardrail when no
 guardrail acted (#37964)

The field is declared optional on OpenAIFileObject and its own docstring says it
is absent on every upload guardrails did not touch, but the /v1/files routes have
no response_model, so FastAPI falls through to jsonable_encoder with exclude_none
off and serialises the unset default as an explicit null. Every create and
retrieve response on a proxy with no guardrails configured at all picked up a
litellm_batch_guardrail: null it never had before, and so did every row of a file
list, since those rows are the same object.

A wrap serializer drops the key only when nothing set it, so the populated report
still reaches the wire intact, including a record whose guardrail is null. The
managed-files list route spreads a stored file_object blob rather than the model,
so rows persisted before this lands keep their null until it is dropped there too.

Subject: [PATCH 47/47] fix(responses-bridge): fall back to summary text when
 content carries none

An empty content list, or one holding only opaque blocks, still lets the
provider-bound branch replay the summary text. The inspection path treated
any non-None content as final, so that replayed text stayed invisible to
guardrails and token counting.
