Integrated into release/v3.8.8. Applied review fixes: moved the SELECT 1 into a pingDb() db helper (no raw SQL in route, Hard Rule #5) + the 503 catch no longer leaks err.message (Hard Rule #12). Thanks @herjarsa!
Update ecosystem and Playwright test environments to boot in open mode
with CLI tools enabled and empty auth defaults when local credentials
are not required.
Refresh A2A, provider, token-count, and circuit-breaker expectations to
match current response semantics and profile-driven thresholds. Remove
obsolete migration regression coverage tied to retired upgrade paths and
add a scratch migration probe for manual verification.
Introduce a runtime settings layer that hydrates persisted config at startup
and reapplies aliases, payload rules, cache behavior, CLI compatibility,
usage tuning, and related switches when settings change or SQLite updates.
Replace the legacy prompt injection middleware path with a guardrail
registry that supports prompt injection detection, PII masking, disabled
guardrail overrides, and post-call response handling across the chat
pipeline.
Add a metadata registry for model catalog and alias resolution so catalog
endpoints return enriched capabilities plus diagnostic headers and typed
alias errors instead of ad hoc responses.
Convert unsupported built-in web_search tools into an OmniRoute fallback
tool, execute them through builtin skills, and preserve Responses API
function call output with sanitized usage fields.
Centralize provider header fingerprints for GitHub, Cursor, Qwen, Qoder,
Kiro, and Antigravity, and migrate management passwords from env or
plaintext storage into persisted bcrypt hashes during startup and login.
