+- **fix(sse):** MiniMax music models now generate audio instead of failing with `Unsupported music format: minimax-music` — the provider entry was registered in the music registry (and advertised by `/v1/models`), but `handleMusicGeneration` had no branch for its format, so every `minimax/*` music request fell through the dispatch chain to a 400. Adds the missing dispatch: a single synchronous POST with the `base_resp` envelope check (a non-zero `status_code` arrives on HTTP 200 too), `data.status` handling (an unfinished generation is reported instead of polled — the operation has no task id and no query endpoint), `url` and `hex` output formats (hex normalized to base64), `mp3`/`wav`/`pcm` containers via `audio_setting`, and the regional endpoint through the per-connection base-URL override, which is also the only host that accepts `aigc_watermark`. The registry entry gains the generation and cover model ids it was missing and drops a query URL that does not exist for this operation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/minimax-music-generation.test.ts` (9 tests).

+/**
+ * MiniMax music generation handler (format: "minimax-music").
+ *
+ * The provider entry has been in musicRegistry since the media registries were
+ * introduced, but handleMusicGeneration never grew a branch for its format — so
+ * every registered `minimax/*` music model fell through the dispatch chain to
+ * `Unsupported music format: minimax-music` (400) and the models were
+ * advertised by /v1/models while being impossible to call.
+ *
+ * The upstream contract is a single synchronous POST — unlike the vendor's
+ * task-based media endpoints there is no task id and no query endpoint, so a
+ * request is either finished (`data.status` 2, audio in `data.audio`) or still
+ * generating (`data.status` 1), which can only be reported back, never awaited.
+ * Failures are carried in the `base_resp` envelope (`status_code` 0 = success)
+ * even on HTTP 200.
+ *
+ * `output_format` selects how the audio comes back: `url` (a short-lived link,
+ * valid for 24h — callers must download it before it expires) or `hex` (the raw
+ * container inline, normalized here to base64 so the response matches the
+ * OpenAI-shaped payload the other music branches return).
