Yujong Lee f0da2823b7 refactor(http): make litellm_http::Error the one opaque error
transport::Error and media::Error fold into litellm_http::Error, an
Arc<Repr> newtype whose private variants keep the typed reqwest, io,
rustls and tungstenite causes and own every message. Callers can no
longer build an error with a message of their own. They ask through
dispatched, is_request, status, upstream_response and tls_source

One From<reqwest::Error> now classifies connect, network and timeout
and strips the URL. The WebSocket handshake reports each failed check
as its own variant and owns its connect timeout. OCR drops the media
variants it mirrored, and inference::Error maps a header the signer
computes to Unsupported for every route, not only chat

The error rules move out of AGENTS.md into the rust-error skill, which
also records the decisions behind this design

Rust workspace rules

For diagnostic tracing changes, follow .agents/skills/rust-tracing/SKILL.md

For string-valued enums and their Serde conversions, follow .agents/skills/rust-string-enums/SKILL.md

For error types, error variants and conversions between crate errors, follow .agents/skills/rust-error/SKILL.md

For fieldless enums, derive strum::VariantArray and use VARIANTS instead of a hand-listed ALL array. Derive Strum string conversions instead of hand-written variant-to-string matches

Use the derived conversions directly (<&'static str>::from(x) / .into(), str::parse) with no as_str/parse wrapper that only delegates, and spell each variant with explicit #[strum(serialize = "...")] instead of serialize_all

Test placement

  • Never create a tests.rs (or test.rs) file under src/, and never #[path = "tests.rs"] mod tests;
  • Tests live inline by default, in a #[cfg(test)] mod tests { ... } at the bottom of the file that owns the code under test, whether or not they touch private items
  • crates/<crate>/tests/ is only for tests that drive several modules together end to end, such as a full request through a route. A test of one type or function never goes there
  • A helper shared by several inline test modules goes in a #[cfg(test)] mod test_support; at the crate root, and only once a second module needs it
  • A test for another crate's item belongs in that crate, not in a downstream one
  • Tests that call a real provider go in crates/<crate>/tests/live/<provider>.rs behind a tests/live/main.rs. Each reads the provider's key from the environment through an Option fixture and returns early when it is unset, never #[ignore], so cargo test stays offline until the key is exported
  • Never set autotests = false or hand-list [[test]] targets. Every file directly under tests/ is discovered by cargo, and a shared helper goes in tests/<name>/mod.rs or tests/<subject>/support.rs so it is not picked up as a test crate of its own

Test fixtures and cases

Use #[rstest] for new and updated tests and #[fixture] for reusable setup, injected through typed test arguments. Express input variations as named #[case::name(...)] cases instead of loops or duplicated tests so each failure identifies its case. Keep behavior assertions in the test body and fixtures focused on setup. Use the workspace rstest dependency

  • Never loop over inputs (for, .iter().for_each, .all) inside a test body. Give each input its own #[case::name(...)], or use #[values(...)] for a cross product
  • Exception: a test pinning a Rust table against a repo-owned data file (for example include_str! of a JSON config) may iterate that file's entries
