fix(dashboard): restore the 8 bulk-import state declarations deleted by #6625 hook extraction (ReferenceError: bulkImportOpen — release E2E)

The test asserted both max_tokens and max_completion_tokens=4096 on the
nvidia/openai/gpt-oss-120b emergency fallback request. Commit a34fb6b3e
(#6912, merged into this release tip) added a symmetric normalization in
chatCore.ts that renames/deletes the redundant max_completion_tokens field
whenever the target provider supportsMaxTokens() (nvidia does), so only
max_tokens reaches the upstream request. The old dual-field assertion is
an outdated contract, not a regression. Align the test to the new
intentional behavior while keeping the max_tokens=4096 cap assertion as
the fallback-cap guard.

 ### Worktree isolation (MANDATORY for every development task)
 
@@ -540,7 +542,10 @@ the stale-enforcement added in Fase 6A.3.
 18. Every bug fix must be validated before shipping: a failing-then-passing unit/integration test (TDD) OR a documented live test on the production VPS (192.168.0.15). A fix without either is not merged. See Testing → "Bug fix / issue triage protocol" for the full decision tree.
 19. Never develop on the shared main checkout. Every development task runs in its own git worktree on its own dedicated branch, and you MUST confirm the base branch with the operator (e.g. via `AskUserQuestion`) before creating the worktree/branch — never assume `main` or the currently checked-out branch. A `git checkout` in the shared checkout silently destroys other sessions' uncommitted work. Tear down only the worktrees/branches you created (by name, never `fix/*`/`feat/*` wildcards), leave other sessions' worktrees untouched, and end on the branch you started on (the active `release/vX.Y.Z`, never `main`). See Git Workflow → "Worktree isolation".
 20. PII redaction/sanitization is **opt-in — never on by default**. OmniRoute proxies for self-hosted/local LLMs where the operator owns the data, so mutating request/response payloads by default would silently corrupt legitimate traffic. The two data-mutating PII feature flags **MUST** keep `defaultValue: "false"` in `src/shared/constants/featureFlagDefinitions.ts`: `PII_REDACTION_ENABLED` (request-side) and `PII_RESPONSE_SANITIZATION` (response + streaming). All three application points — `src/lib/guardrails/piiMasker.ts` (request guardrail), `src/lib/piiSanitizer.ts` (response), `src/lib/streamingPiiTransform.ts` (SSE) — are gated on these flags; with both off the `pii-masker` guardrail still runs but never mutates payloads (data passes through untouched). Flipping either default to `"true"` requires explicit operator approval. The regression guard is `tests/unit/pii-opt-in-default.test.ts` (asserts both definition defaults + behavioral pass-through). Opt-in is per-operator via env or the settings/DB override (`src/lib/db/featureFlags.ts`), never a silent default. See `docs/security/GUARDRAILS.md`.
-21. **Release-freeze — the release branch is frozen to campaign merges while a `/generate-release` is running.** `/generate-release` opens a marker issue labeled `release-freeze` at the start of reconciliation (Phase 0a) and closes it once the release PR squash-merges to `main`. Before merging **any** PR into the active `release/vX.Y.Z` branch, every campaign workflow (`/review-issues`, `/review-prs`, `/implement-features`, `/green-prs`, `/port-upstream-*`) **MUST** check `gh issue list --repo diegosouzapw/OmniRoute --label release-freeze --state open` — if a freeze is active, **HOLD the merge** (leave the PR ready and open; do NOT merge to the release branch), tell the operator, and resume once the freeze lifts. This is a **coordination signal, not a permission lock**: the release captain and the campaign sessions share the `diegosouzapw` identity, so a GitHub branch-protection lock cannot distinguish them — only this honored marker prevents the mid-release commit races that forced full CHANGELOG re-reconciliation in v3.8.40/v3.8.41 (a parallel campaign advanced `release/vX.Y.Z` by 34 commits mid-run). The release captain's own reconciliation/cycle-open pushes are exempt — they _are_ the release. Fixes that must land during a freeze (a homologation finding) follow the post-merge read-only rule: land on `main` first via `fix/release-vX.Y.Z-*`. **⛔ ONLY `/generate-release` may raise a release-freeze, and ONLY at its Phase 0a (start of generating a new version) — lifted at Phase 12c after the squash-merge to `main`.** No campaign, session, or agent may open a `release-freeze` marker at any other time — a freeze is **never** a mid-development coordination tool. If a session ever believes a freeze is genuinely, unavoidably necessary outside the `/generate-release` flow, it **MUST first ask the operator (`diegosouzapw`) in chat, explicitly alert "estou criando um freeze" and get an explicit yes** — never open, extend, or re-open a `release-freeze` autonomously. Conversely, do **not** close/lift an active `/generate-release` freeze to unblock campaign merges: it protects the captain's single clean CI run and auto-lifts at Phase 12c — closing it early re-triggers the exact commit race it prevents. Verify a freeze is legitimate before acting on it: an open `release-freeze` whose title/body references an **OPEN** release PR (`gh pr view <N> --json state`) is the authorized captain freeze — hold, don't touch.
+21. **Release-freeze — the FROZEN release branch belongs to the release captain; development does NOT stop (parallel-cycle model, 2026-07-04).** `/generate-release` opens a marker issue labeled `release-freeze` at the start of reconciliation (Phase 0a), **immediately cuts the next cycle's branch `release/vX+1` from the frozen tip (Phase 0a.0b — bump + living release PR + re-home of open PRs)**, and closes the freeze once the release PR squash-merges to `main`. Before merging **any** PR, every campaign workflow (`/review-prs`, `/review-group-prs`, `/merge-prs`, `/triage-fix-bugs`, `/implement-fix-bugs`, `/triage-features`, `/implement-features`, `/green-prs`, `/port-upstream-*`) **MUST** check `gh issue list --repo diegosouzapw/OmniRoute --label release-freeze --state open` — if a freeze is active: **NEVER merge into the frozen `release/vX.Y.Z` named in the freeze title**; instead resolve the ACTIVE development branch (the **highest** `release/v*` by semver — normally `release/vX+1`, announced in a freeze-issue comment) and **retarget the PR there** (`gh pr edit <N> --base release/vX+1`, then VERIFY with `gh pr view <N> --json baseRefName` — the edit fails silently) and merge normally. **HOLD only when the highest release/v\* branch IS the frozen one** (the short window before 0a.0b completes, or a pre-parallel-cycle release) — in that case leave the PR ready and open, tell the operator, and resume when the next branch appears or the freeze lifts. The just-shipped fixes reach `release/vX+1` via the Phase 5 sync-back (`scripts/release/sync-next-cycle.mjs`); do not try to sync mid-release. This is a **coordination signal, not a permission lock**: the release captain and the campaign sessions share the `diegosouzapw` identity, so a GitHub branch-protection lock cannot distinguish them — only this honored marker prevents the mid-release commit races that forced full CHANGELOG re-reconciliation in v3.8.40/v3.8.41 (a parallel campaign advanced `release/vX.Y.Z` by 34 commits mid-run). The release captain's own reconciliation/cycle-open pushes are exempt — they _are_ the release. Fixes that must land during a freeze (a homologation finding) follow the post-merge read-only rule: land on `main` first via `fix/release-vX.Y.Z-*`. **⛔ ONLY `/generate-release` may raise a release-freeze, and ONLY at its Phase 0a (start of generating a new version) — lifted at Phase 12c after the squash-merge to `main`.** No campaign, session, or agent may open a `release-freeze` marker at any other time — a freeze is **never** a mid-development coordination tool. If a session ever believes a freeze is genuinely, unavoidably necessary outside the `/generate-release` flow, it **MUST first ask the operator (`diegosouzapw`) in chat, explicitly alert "estou criando um freeze" and get an explicit yes** — never open, extend, or re-open a `release-freeze` autonomously. Conversely, do **not** close/lift an active `/generate-release` freeze to unblock campaign merges: it protects the captain's single clean CI run and auto-lifts at Phase 12c — closing it early re-triggers the exact commit race it prevents. Verify a freeze is legitimate before acting on it: an open `release-freeze` whose title/body references an **OPEN** release PR (`gh pr view <N> --json state`) is the authorized captain freeze — hold, don't touch.
+22. **Cross-session safety — this repo is worked by MANY parallel sessions/agents at once; never step on another's in-flight work.** Two absolute bans, both recurring incidents (this rule exists because they keep happening):
+    - **(a) Never `git stash` / `git stash pop` — ANYWHERE in this repo, including inside an isolated worktree, and including inside any subagent you dispatch.** `git stash` operates on the **shared repository object store**, not the per-worktree working tree — so a stash pushed or popped in one session can silently clobber or resurrect another parallel session's uncommitted changes. This is not hypothetical: 2026-07-02 a `#5923` quotaCache change leaked into the unrelated `#2296` worktree via a global `stash pop`, and the same class reincided through a **subagent**. To compare working changes against a base ref **without** stashing, use `git show <ref>:<path>` or `git diff <ref> -- <path>`; to confirm a typecheck/lint error is pre-existing on the base, inspect the base ref directly (`git show origin/release/vX.Y.Z:<path>`) — never stash your tree away to "get it clean". **Put this ban verbatim in the prompt of every subagent that touches git** (agents don't inherit this file's context — the recurrence was a subagent).
+    - **(b) Never merge, push, rebase, or force-push a PR / branch / worktree that another session is actively working.** An open PR whose head is a live fix worktree in `.claude/worktrees/` you did **not** create (e.g. `fix-5852`/`fix-5923` carrying fresh commits, even when they share your `diegosouzapw` identity), or any branch another session owns, is **off-limits — HOLD**, and let the owning session merge it. **Before** merging or pushing to any PR you did not create _this_ session, run `git worktree list` to check for a matching in-flight worktree and re-check `gh pr view <N> --json state,headRefOid`. Only the owning session merges its own in-flight PR; mid-flight merges race the owner and re-trigger the exact commit/CHANGELOG races Rule #19 and Rule #21 guard against. (Reinforces Rule #19.)

-# OmniRoute — Design System & Visual Identity
-
-> **Status:** analysis + standardization plan (no code applied yet — this doc is the spec to approve before implementation).
-> **Date:** 2026-06-16 · **Scope:** unify the OmniRoute dashboard (`src/`) with the marketing site (`_mono_repo/omnirouteSite/`) into **one visual identity** — same graph-paper grid background, same color tokens, standardized components.
-
----
-
-## 1. Purpose
-
-The marketing site (`viral.omniroute.online`, `why.omniroute.online`, `omniroute.online`) and the product dashboard should look like **one product**. The site already borrowed its palette from the dashboard — its `css/tokens.css` even says _"Palette mirrors the OmniRoute dashboard (src/app/globals.css)"_. So the two are already ~80% aligned at the color level. What's missing on the dashboard:
-
-1. The **graph-paper grid wallpaper** the site uses on every page.
-2. A handful of **shared design tokens** the site has but the dashboard lacks (radius scale, brand gradient, `surface-2`, mono font).
-3. **Component-level consistency** — a number of dashboard components bypass the theme tokens with hardcoded hex/rgba.
-
-This document is the analysis and the plan. **Nothing is changed until approved.**
-
----
-
-## 2. Principles
-
-- **Single source of truth = `src/app/globals.css`.** The site mirrors the dashboard, never the other way around. New tokens land in `globals.css` first.
-- **Tokens, never literals.** Components consume semantic tokens (`bg-surface`, `text-primary`, `border-border`), never raw `#hex`.
-- **Subtle, not loud.** The grid is a faint wallpaper that sits behind content — it must never reduce text contrast or fight the UI.
-- **Theme-aware.** Everything works in both `.dark` (default-ish, the product's signature look) and light.
-- **Surgical rollout.** Ship the grid + tokens first (low risk, high visibility), then component cleanups in waves.

-## 3. Current state — what's already aligned vs. what's not
-
-### 3.1 Colors — already unified ✅
-
-Every brand color and surface already matches the site **by value** (only the names differ — dashboard prefixes with `--color-`). Verified in `src/app/globals.css:30-128`:
-
-| Concept                    | Site token (`tokens.css`)                   | Dashboard token (`globals.css`) | Match        |
-| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- | ------------ |
-| primary                    | `--primary #e54d5e`                         | `--color-primary #e54d5e`       | ✅           |
-| primary-hover              | `--primary-hover #c93d4e`                   | `--color-primary-hover #c93d4e` | ✅           |
-| accent                     | `--accent #6366f1`                          | `--color-accent #6366f1`        | ✅           |
-| accent-2                   | `--accent-2 #8b5cf6`                        | `--color-accent-hover #8b5cf6`  | ✅ (renamed) |
-| accent-3                   | `--accent-3 #a855f7`                        | `--color-accent-light #a855f7`  | ✅ (renamed) |
-| success / warning / error  | `#22c55e / #f59e0b / #ef4444`               | identical                       | ✅           |
-| traffic lights             | `#ff5f56 / #ffbd2e / #27c93f`               | identical                       | ✅           |
-| dark bg / surface / border | `#0b0e14 / #161b22 / rgba(255,255,255,.08)` | identical                       | ✅           |
-| light bg / surface / text  | `#f9f9fb / #fff / #1a1a2e`                  | identical                       | ✅           |
-
-**Conclusion:** there is no color migration to do. The identity is already shared; we are _finishing_ it, not rebuilding it.
-
-### 3.2 Gaps — what the dashboard is missing
-
-| Gap                     | Site has                                                                       | Dashboard                                                  | Action                 |
-| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- |
-| **Grid wallpaper**      | `body::before` graph-paper, `--grid-line`, `--grid-size 46px`, `--section-alt` | none (flat `--color-bg`)                                   | **Part A**             |
-| **Radius scale**        | `--radius 14px`, `--radius-sm 9px`                                             | none — primitives use ad-hoc `rounded-md/lg/xl` (6/8/12px) | **Part B**             |
-| **Brand gradient**      | `--grad-brand 135deg primary→accent-3`                                         | none — only a one-off `.bg-hero-gradient`                  | **Part B**             |
-| **Nested surface**      | `--surface-2 #1c2230`                                                          | none                                                       | **Part B**             |
-| **Mono font**           | `--font-mono` (ui-monospace stack)                                             | none (code/terminal areas have no token)                   | **Part B**             |
-| **`text-muted` (dark)** | `#8b8b9e`                                                                      | `#a1a1aa` (zinc-400)                                       | reconcile — **Part B** |
-
-### 3.3 Theming mechanics (so we don't break anything)
-
-- **Tailwind v4, CSS-first** (no `tailwind.config.*`). Tokens are defined in `:root`/`.dark` and exposed to utilities via `@theme inline` (`globals.css:130-179`).
-- **Dark via `.dark` class** on `<html>` (`@custom-variant dark` at `globals.css:22`), toggled by a custom Zustand store (`src/store/themeStore.ts`), default theme = `system` (`src/shared/constants/appConfig.ts:11`). The site uses `html[data-theme="light"]` instead — **the mechanisms differ but never meet** (separate origins), so no conflict. We keep the dashboard's `.dark` mechanism.
-- **Runtime primary override** exists (`themeStore.ts:85-97`, presets in `COLOR_THEMES`) — users can swap `--color-primary`. Any new token (gradient, etc.) that references `--color-primary` will inherit those overrides for free. ✅
-
----
-
-## 4. Part A — The graph-paper grid background (headline ask)
-
-### 4.1 What it is
-
-The exact recipe from the site (`_mono_repo/omnirouteSite/css/base.css`): a **fixed, full-viewport pseudo-element** painting two 1px line gradients, sitting at `z-index:-1` behind all content.
-
-```css
-body::before {
-  content: "";
-  position: fixed;
-  inset: 0;
-  z-index: -1;
-  pointer-events: none;
-  background-image:
-    linear-gradient(to right, var(--grid-line) 1px, transparent 1px),
-    linear-gradient(to bottom, var(--grid-line) 1px, transparent 1px);
-  background-size: var(--grid-size) var(--grid-size);
-}
-```
-
-**Why this works even though `body` has an opaque `background-color`:** a `::before` with `z-index:-1` paints _above_ the element's own background but _below_ its in-flow content. So `--color-bg` is the base fill, the grid is layered on top of it, and the app renders above the grid.
-
-### 4.2 Precedent already in the codebase
-
-`src/app/landing/page.tsx:16-26` **already implements this same grid per-page** — but with **red** lines (`#E54D5E`, opacity `0.06`) at **50px**, plus animated orbs. So the pattern is proven in the product; we are promoting it to a **global, theme-aware** wallpaper and (optionally) retiring the duplicate.
-
-### 4.3 Tokens to add (in `globals.css`)
-
-```css
-:root {
-  /* light */
-  --grid-line: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.045);
-  --grid-size: 46px;
-  --section-alt: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.022);
-}
-.dark {
-  /* dark */
-  --grid-line: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.035);
-  --section-alt: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.018);
-}
-```
-
-### 4.4 The single blocker
-
-The grid is global by construction (it covers the panel, `auth`/`login`, error pages — every route — at once). Exactly **one** element hides it inside the panel:
-
-- `src/shared/components/layouts/DashboardLayout.tsx:62` — the outer wrapper paints an opaque `bg-bg`:
-
-  ```jsx
-  <div className="flex h-dvh min-h-0 w-full overflow-hidden bg-bg">
-  ```
-
-  Everything below it is already transparent — `<main>` (`:93`), the scroll container (`:102`), the `max-w-7xl` inner (`:103`). So **removing `bg-bg` from this one line** lets the body grid show through the entire content area (the body's `--color-bg` remains the base fill underneath the grid).
-
-  ```diff
-  - <div className="flex h-dvh min-h-0 w-full overflow-hidden bg-bg">
-  + <div className="flex h-dvh min-h-0 w-full overflow-hidden">
-  ```
-
-### 4.5 Chrome interaction (sidebar / header)
-
-- `Header` (`src/shared/components/Header.tsx:207`, `bg-bg`) and `Sidebar` (`src/shared/components/Sidebar.tsx:430`, `bg-sidebar`) stay **opaque** → the grid shows in the **content area only**, with solid chrome framing it. This is the recommended, calm default and matches how the site separates chrome from canvas.
-- _Optional vibrancy variant:_ make the header translucent (`bg-bg/80 backdrop-blur`) so the grid runs behind it. A `.bg-vibrancy` helper already exists (`globals.css:370`). **Decision D3 below.**
-
-### 4.6 Login / auth / error pages
-
-These render directly under `<body>` (no panel chrome) and their page wrappers are mostly transparent — the global grid appears behind them automatically. One exception: `src/app/login/page.tsx:124,139` uses opaque `bg-bg` wrappers; soften the same way if we want the grid there too (minor, **D4**).
-
-### 4.7 Landing page
-
-`landing/page.tsx` keeps its richer animated background (orbs + vignette). Options: (a) leave it as-is (its own splash identity), or (b) align its grid to the global tokens (46px, neutral lines) for consistency. **Recommend (a)** — it's a marketing splash, not a panel screen. **Decision D5.**
-
----
-
-## 5. Part B — Token unification
-
-Add to `globals.css` (`:root` + `@theme inline`) so the dashboard gains the site's missing tokens. None of these change existing colors; they add the _missing_ primitives.
-
-```css
-:root {
-  --surface-2: #f5f5fa; /* light: nested panels */
-  --radius: 14px;
-  --radius-sm: 9px;
-  --grad-brand: linear-gradient(135deg, var(--color-primary), var(--color-accent-light));
-  --font-mono: ui-monospace, "JetBrains Mono", "Fira Code", "SF Mono", monospace;
-}
-.dark {
-  --surface-2: #1c2230;
-}
-
-@theme inline {
-  --color-surface-2: var(--surface-2); /* enables bg-surface-2 */
-  --radius-lg: var(--radius); /* enables rounded-lg = 14px */
-  --radius-md: var(--radius-sm); /* enables rounded-md = 9px */
-  --font-mono: var(--font-mono); /* enables font-mono */
-}
-```
-
-| Token                      | Why                                                             | Consumers                                                   |
-| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `--radius` / `--radius-sm` | One radius scale (14/9) instead of 6/8/12 ad-hoc                | Button, Card, Modal, Input, Select                          |
-| `--grad-brand`             | Brand gradient for primary CTAs (red→violet), matching the site | Button `primary`, hero/CTA surfaces                         |
-| `--surface-2`              | Nested panels / table headers / inset rows                      | Card.Section, DataTable header, inputs                      |

-| `--text-muted` reconcile   | Pick one value site↔panel                                       | global                                                      |
-
-**Decision D2 (text-muted):** site `#8b8b9e` vs dashboard `#a1a1aa`. Recommend keeping the **dashboard's `#a1a1aa`** (it's the live product, slightly higher contrast) and updating the _site_ to match. Low priority, cosmetic.

-## 6. Part C — Component standardization
-
-The component layer is **custom** (no shadcn/Radix), Tailwind v4, semantic tokens **mostly** adopted (`bg-surface`, `border-white/10`, `ring-primary`) — good adoption (195 files import the shared barrel). The work is removing the **bypasses**. Home: `src/shared/components/`.

-**Already on-brand (token-driven, only need radius):** `Badge`, `Toggle`, `SegmentedControl`, `Input`, `Select`.
-
----
-
-## 7. Rollout plan (phased, each phase shippable + testable)
-
-- **Phase 1 — Grid + tokens (low risk, high visibility).**
-  1. Add grid + identity tokens to `globals.css` (Part A §4.3, Part B §5).
-  2. Add `body::before` grid.
-  3. Remove `bg-bg` from `DashboardLayout.tsx:62`.
-  4. Verify across themes + key screens (dashboard, providers, logs, login, an error page). Confirm contrast unchanged.
-     → _Delivers the headline ask. Reversible in one commit._
-
-- **Phase 2 — Primitives radius + Button (C1, C2, C5, C9).** The visible "feel" pass. `cn()` upgrade first so overrides behave.
-
-- **Phase 3 — Tables + status colors (C3, C4).** The largest consistency win; touch the data-heavy screens.
-
-- **Phase 4 — Cleanup (C6, C7, C8).** Focus ring, new primitives, hardcoded-hex sweep.
-
-Each phase: `npm run lint` + `npm run typecheck:core` + a visual pass. Per repo rule, production-code changes ship with tests where applicable (token/CSS changes are visual — validated by screenshots; component API changes get unit coverage).
-
----
-
-## 8. Open decisions (need your call before/while implementing)
-
-- **D1 — Button primary look.** Keep the current **red→red** gradient, or switch the product's primary buttons to the **red→violet `--grad-brand`** (matches the site CTAs)? _(Affects every primary button.)_ Recommend: **red→violet**, with `--grad-brand`.
-- **D2 — Grid line color.** **Neutral** lines (site style: faint white/black, `rgba(255,255,255,0.035)`) — calm, content-first — **or** the landing's **brand-red** lines? Recommend: **neutral** (matches the site's interior pages; red is louder and can tint readability). Size **46px** (site) to retire the landing's 50px drift.
-- **D3 — Chrome vibrancy.** Sidebar/header stay **solid** (grid in content area only), or go **translucent** so the grid runs behind them? Recommend: **solid** (calmer; less risk).
-- **D4 — Auth/login grid.** Soften `login/page.tsx` wrappers so the grid shows there too? Recommend: **yes** (cheap, more cohesive).
-- **D5 — Landing page.** Leave its animated splash bg as-is, or align it to the global grid? Recommend: **leave as-is**.
-- **D6 — Radius value.** Adopt **14/9** everywhere (bigger, softer, site-matching) — confirm you want this product-wide shift. Recommend: **yes**, it's the single biggest "one identity" signal.
-- **D7 — Scope of first PR.** Ship **Phase 1 only** first (grid + tokens), then iterate? Recommend: **yes** — validate the wallpaper live before the component waves.
-
----
-
-## 9. Out of scope / risks
-
-- **No palette change** — colors already match; we only add missing tokens. Zero risk of recoloring the product.
-- **No theme-engine change** — keep `.dark` + Zustand store; don't migrate to `next-themes` or to the site's `data-theme`.
-- **Radius shift is broad** (D6) — it touches every card/button/input; that's the point, but it's the one change worth eyeballing on busy screens (tables, modals) before merge.
-- **Tables (C3)** carry the most hardcoded styling and the highest regression surface — isolate in its own PR with before/after screenshots.
-- **Worktree isolation (repo hard-rule #19):** implementation runs in a dedicated worktree on a branch cut from the confirmed base (likely `release/v3.8.28`), never on the shared checkout. This doc is the only artifact written to the working tree so far.

 - **🗜️ Compression hardening** — a default-on **inflation guard** (discard the stacked result and send the verbatim original whenever compression would _grow_ the prompt), completed **Caveman rule packs** for German / French / Japanese (dedup + ultra) plus a new **Chinese (文言 / wényán) input pack** with zh-vs-ja auto-detection, and **RTK filters for Gradle & .NET (`dotnet`)** build output. → [Compression](docs/compression/COMPRESSION_ENGINES.md)

 - **🤖 One-command CLI/agent setup** — a dedicated `setup-*` command configures each coding tool to route through OmniRoute (Claude Code, Codex, Cline, Continue, Cursor, Roo Code, Kilo Code, Crush, Goose, Qwen Code, Aider, OpenCode); `omniroute launch` / `omniroute launch-codex` are zero-config launchers. → [CLI Integrations](docs/guides/CLI-INTEGRATIONS.md)
 - **🛰️ Remote mode** — drive a remote OmniRoute from any machine with scoped access tokens (`omniroute connect` / `omniroute contexts` / `omniroute tokens`), plus an `omniroute login antigravity` helper that runs Google "native/desktop" OAuth on your own machine and pastes a credential blob into a remote/VPS install (where the loopback redirect is unreachable). → [Remote Mode](docs/guides/REMOTE-MODE.md)

 **Will I be charged by OmniRoute?** No — it's free, open-source software on your machine. You only pay paid providers directly. OmniRoute has no billing system.
 **Are FREE providers really unlimited?** Mostly — Qoder, Pollinations, LongCat, and Cloudflare are free with no per-account credit cap. Kiro is free too but capped at ~50 credits/month per account. Stack multiple free providers in a combo and auto-fallback keeps you serving for $0.
 **Will compression hurt quality?** No — it only compresses the **input**; code, URLs, JSON are always protected.

+
+**A PR never edits `CHANGELOG.md` directly during the cycle.** Instead it adds ONE new
+file here — its changelog entry as a *fragment*. Two PRs never touch the same file, so
+changelog merge conflicts (the "CHANGELOG-eat" cascade that forced a re-sync push + full
+CI re-run after every sibling merge) are structurally impossible.
+
+## Convention
+
+| Directory      | Aggregates under        |
+| -------------- | ----------------------- |
+| `features/`    | `### ✨ New Features`   |
+| `fixes/`       | `### 🐛 Bug Fixes`      |
+| `maintenance/` | `### 📝 Maintenance`    |
+
+- **Filename**: `<PR-number>-<short-slug>.md` (e.g. `fixes/6700-dockerfile-better-sqlite3.md`).
+  The PR number prefix keeps aggregation order deterministic.
+- **Content**: the exact bullet line(s) that should land in `CHANGELOG.md`, starting with
+  `- `. Multi-line (continuation) bullets are fine. Keep the repo's credit format:
+  `(#PR — thanks @user)`.
+- One fragment per PR (rarely more, e.g. a PR that both fixes and adds).
+
+## Example
+
+`changelog.d/fixes/6496-cloudflare-relay-worker-syntax.md`:

+```markdown
+- **fix(providers):** Cloudflare relay Worker deploys use Service Worker syntax with `body_part` metadata ([#6496](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6496)) — thanks @SeaXen
+```
+
+## Aggregation
+
+The release captain (or `/generate-release`) folds all fragments into `CHANGELOG.md` and
+deletes them:
+
+```bash
+node scripts/release/aggregate-changelog.mjs            # write + delete fragments
+node scripts/release/aggregate-changelog.mjs --dry-run  # preview only
+```
+
+Fragment well-formedness is enforced by `npm run check:changelog-integrity` (the same
+gate that guards against CHANGELOG-eat for legacy direct edits).

 # OmniRoute — Design System & Visual Identity
 
-> **Status:** standardization plan. **Phases 1–3 are implemented in this PR** (grid, primitives, status-color centralization, mono token, and the DataTable token migration). The DataTable migration is **faithful** — dark stays byte-identical (the new `--table-*` dark values equal the old hardcoded rgba); light is fixed (it was buggy always-dark via dead `var()` fallbacks). **⚠️ Wants a visual pass before merge** (light-theme tables + the secondary-text shift `#888`→`--color-text-muted`). **Phase 4 is now largely done too** (C6 focus-ring → accent, C7 Checkbox/Textarea primitives, C9 `cn()`→tailwind-merge); only the selective C8 hex-sweep remains. Note several remaining "hardcoded" hex are _intentional_ (always-dark console terminal, ReactFlow SVG strokes) and must NOT be swept. **Phase 5 (D4 + D8): the grid now reaches every standalone screen** (login/auth/error/legal/status/onboarding — their opaque `bg-bg` full-screen wrappers were hiding it) **and the dashboard content shell is fluid up to 4K** (`max-w-7xl` → `max-w-[3840px]`) so it follows the viewport on large monitors instead of centering with wide side gutters. **Phase 6 (D9): data tables are now opaque surfaces** so the grid no longer bleeds through their rows — card-less tables paint `bg-surface`, and the two log tables' semi-transparent `bg-black/5` tint (which tailwind-merge let win over the Card's `bg-surface`) is removed. The grid size itself is already correct (32px, identical to the site); a "bigger" grid on a running instance is a stale build, not code.
-> **Date:** 2026-06-16 · **Scope:** unify the OmniRoute dashboard (`src/`) with the marketing site (`_mono_repo/omnirouteSite/`) into **one visual identity** — same graph-paper grid background, same color tokens, standardized components.
+> **Status:** reference — the standardization described here is **implemented** (phases 1–6: grid wallpaper, primitives, status-color centralization, mono token, DataTable token migration, focus-ring → accent, Checkbox/Textarea primitives, `cn()` → tailwind-merge, grid on every standalone screen, fluid 4K content shell, opaque data-table surfaces). This document is the canonical description of the dashboard's design tokens, components, and conventions; the phase framing below is kept as the rationale for each decision.
+> **Scope:** the OmniRoute dashboard (`src/`) and the marketing site (`_mono_repo/omnirouteSite/`) share **one visual identity** — same graph-paper grid background (32px), same color tokens, standardized components.

 - **`check:docs-sync` runs twice** — standalone in the `lint` job and again inside `check:docs-all` (`docs-sync-strict`) and the husky pre-commit hook. ✅ **DONE** — standalone `lint` invocation removed.
 - **CVE scanning** — ❌ **NOT a clean merge.** `audit:deps` hard-fails on any high/critical CVE; `check:vuln-ratchet` (osv) only fails on a _regression_ vs baseline (currently 1 MODERATE). Different semantics — dropping `audit:deps` would lose the absolute high/critical gate. Keep both.
 - **Cycle detection** — ❌ **NOT a clean merge.** `check:circular-deps` (dpdm) reports **91 cycles** (that is why it is advisory); it cannot be promoted to blocking without first resolving them, and it has a broader scope than the green, curated `check:cycles`. Keep `check:cycles` blocking; resolving the 91 dpdm cycles is its own backlog.
-- **Complexity** — ⏳ valid but real surgery. `check:complexity` (core ESLint) + `check:cognitive-complexity` (sonarjs) are two ESLint passes over `src` + `open-sse`; merging into one config emitting both metrics needs careful ratchet re-wiring. Deferred.
-- **`/api` anti-hallucination** — ⏳ valid but script surgery. `check:openapi-routes` (spec→route) + `check:docs-symbols` (prose→route) share resolution logic; collapsing them is a non-trivial script change. Deferred.
+- **Complexity** — ✅ **DONE** (`check:complexity-ratchets` / `eslint.complexity-ratchets.config.mjs`): one ESLint walk, counts by ruleId so cyclomatic+max-lines and cognitive baselines stay independent; individual `check:complexity` / `check:cognitive-complexity` remain for local `--update`.

 - **`check:node-runtime` runs in 11 jobs** — ⚠️ **low ROI.** Each is a separate runner and the check is <1s; total savings ~10s, against losing a cheap per-job guard. Not worth the churn.

+# Combo Context Requirements Feature
+
+## Overview
+
+The Context Requirements feature allows combo configurations to filter and sort targets based on their context window size. This is useful for use cases requiring large context windows like:
+
+- Long document processing (100k+ tokens)
+- Large codebase analysis
+- Extensive conversation histories
+- Multi-file code reviews
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Schema
+
+Add `contextRequirements` to your combo's runtime config:
+
+```json
+{
+  "contextRequirements": {
+    "minContextWindow": 128000,
+    "preferLargeContext": true,
+    "contextFilterMode": "strict"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Fields
+
+#### `minContextWindow` (optional)
+
+- **Type**: `number` (0 to 10,000,000)
+- **Default**: `undefined` (no filtering)
+- **Description**: Filters out models with context windows below this threshold
+
+**Examples**:
+
+- `32000` - Filter out models with <32K context
+- `128000` - Require 128K+ context (GPT-4 Turbo, Claude 3)
+- `200000` - Require 200K+ context (Claude 3 Opus)
+- `1000000` - Require 1M+ context (Gemini 1.5 Pro)
+
+#### `preferLargeContext` (optional)
+
+- **Type**: `boolean`
+- **Default**: `false`
+- **Description**: When `true`, sorts remaining targets by context size (descending). Large context models are tried first.
+
+#### `contextFilterMode` (optional)
+
+- **Type**: `"strict"` | `"lenient"`
+- **Default**: `"lenient"`
+- **Description**: How to handle models with unknown context window limits
+  - `"strict"`: Excludes models with unknown context limits
+  - `"lenient"`: Includes models with unknown context limits
+
+## Behavior
+
+### Filtering Pipeline
+
+Context requirements are applied after `filterTargetsByRequestCompatibility()`:
+
+1. **Request compatibility filtering** - Removes models incompatible with request (tools, vision, structured output)
+2. **Context requirements filtering** - Applies `minContextWindow` and `contextFilterMode`
+3. **Context-based sorting** - If `preferLargeContext` is true, sorts by context size descending
+
+### Filter Mode Logic
+
+When `minContextWindow` is set:
+
+**Lenient mode** (default):
+
+- ✅ Includes models with context >= minContextWindow
+- ✅ Includes models with unknown context limits
+- ❌ Excludes models with context < minContextWindow
+
+**Strict mode**:
+
+- ✅ Includes models with context >= minContextWindow
+- ❌ Excludes models with unknown context limits
+- ❌ Excludes models with context < minContextWindow
+
+### Sorting Logic
+
+When `preferLargeContext` is true:
+
+- Models are sorted by context window size (descending)
+- Unknown context models sort to the end
+- Original strategy order is used as a tiebreaker
+
+## Use Cases
+
+### Example 1: Long Document Processing
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "Document Analysis",
+  "strategy": "fusion",
+  "config": {
+    "contextRequirements": {
+      "minContextWindow": 128000,
+      "preferLargeContext": true,
+      "contextFilterMode": "strict"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This configuration:
+
+- Requires 128K+ context window
+- Prefers larger context models (Gemini 1.5 Pro > Claude 3 Opus > GPT-4 Turbo)
+- Excludes models with unknown context limits
+
+### Example 2: Large Codebase Analysis
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "Code Review",
+  "strategy": "auto",
+  "config": {
+    "contextRequirements": {
+      "minContextWindow": 200000,
+      "preferLargeContext": true,
+      "contextFilterMode": "lenient"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This configuration:
+
+- Requires 200K+ context window
+- Prefers larger context models
+- Includes models with unknown limits (lenient)
+
+### Example 3: Prefer Large Context Without Strict Requirements
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "Flexible Chat",
+  "strategy": "weighted",
+  "config": {
+    "contextRequirements": {
+      "preferLargeContext": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This configuration:
+
+- No minimum requirement (all models eligible)
+- Sorts by context size (largest first)
+- Useful when large context is preferred but not required
+
+## API Response
+
+When context requirements filter targets, the combo logger outputs:
+
+```
+[COMBO] Context requirements: filtered 10 → 3 targets (minContextWindow: 128000, mode: strict)
+[COMBO] Context requirements: kept models gemini-1.5-pro, claude-3-opus-20240229, gpt-4-turbo
+[COMBO] Context requirements: sorted by context size (descending): gemini-1.5-pro(1000000), claude-3-opus-20240229(200000), gpt-4-turbo(128000)
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Backend Module
+
+`open-sse/services/combo/contextRequirements.ts`:
+
+- `applyContextRequirements()` - Main filtering function
+- `getTargetContextWindow()` - Context lookup helper
+- Uses `getModelContextLimit()` from `modelCapabilities.ts`
+
+### Integration Point
+
+`open-sse/services/combo.ts` line 1187:
+
+```typescript
+orderedTargets = filterTargetsByRequestCompatibility(orderedTargets, body, log);
+orderedTargets = applyContextRequirements(orderedTargets, config.contextRequirements, log);
+```
+
+### Schema Definition
+
+`src/shared/validation/schemas/combo.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+contextRequirements: z
+  .object({
+    minContextWindow: z.coerce.number().int().min(0).max(10_000_000).optional(),
+    preferLargeContext: z.boolean().optional(),
+    contextFilterMode: z.enum(["strict", "lenient"]).optional(),
+  })
+  .strict()
+  .optional(),
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### Run Tests
+
+```bash
+# Unit tests (schema + logic)
+npm test tests/unit/combo-context-requirements.test.ts
+
+# Integration tests (end-to-end)
+npm test tests/unit/combo/context-requirements-integration.test.ts
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+
+- Schema validation: 6 tests
+- Filtering logic: 6 tests
+- Integration: 5 tests
+- **Total**: 17/17 passing ✅
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### All targets filtered out
+
+**Problem**: All targets removed, combo returns "no compatible models"
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+1. Lower `minContextWindow` threshold
+2. Switch to `"lenient"` mode to include unknown context models
+3. Remove `minContextWindow` and use only `preferLargeContext`
+
+### Unknown context models excluded
+
+**Problem**: Custom/new models excluded even though they have large context
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+1. Switch to `"lenient"` mode (default)
+2. Add model context limit to `modelCapabilities.ts`
+3. Remove context filtering and rely on strategy order
+
+### Sorting not applied
+
+**Problem**: `preferLargeContext` doesn't change order
+
+**Check**:
+
+1. Verify `preferLargeContext: true` in config
+2. Check if all targets have unknown context (all sort equal)
+3. Verify multiple targets remain after filtering

+## Upstream Sync Policy
+
+OmniRoute's compression engines credit several upstream projects in the README
+("inspired by RTK, Caveman, LLMLingua-2, Troglodita"). A common contributor
+question is: **when upstream RTK adds a new tool filter or Caveman adds a rule
+pack, how does that reach OmniRoute?** This section is the authoritative answer.
+
+### Vendored copies vs. independent implementations
+
+| Engine                       | Relationship to upstream                                                                                                        | Location                                                            |
+| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **RTK**                      | **Independent reimplementation** (inspired-by, not a copy)                                                                      | `open-sse/services/compression/engines/rtk/`                        |
+| **Caveman**                  | **Independent reimplementation** (inspired-by)                                                                                  | `open-sse/services/compression/engines/cavemanAdapter.ts`           |
+| **Headroom**                 | Mostly internal; only the `gcf/` codec is **genuinely vendored** from `gcf-typescript` (MIT, SPDX-marked, generic profile only) | `open-sse/services/compression/engines/headroom/gcf/`               |
+| **LLMLingua-2 / Troglodita** | Inspired-by (drive the `llmlingua` + `session-dedup` engines)                                                                   | `open-sse/services/compression/engines/llmlingua/`, `session-dedup` |
+
+Key point: **RTK and Caveman are clean-room TypeScript implementations of the
+_ideas_ (filter rules, rule packs), not vendored source trees.** There is no
+upstream copy to `git pull` from — which is exactly why the README says
+"inspired by" rather than "bundled".
+
+### How upstream improvements are merged
+
+There is **no automated upstream-release tracking and no `compression-sync`
+label** — by design. Because the engines are reimplementations, an upstream RTK
+filter or Caveman rule pack is not merged as code; it is **re-expressed as a new
+rule/filter in OmniRoute's own format** (see
+[COMPRESSION_RULES_FORMAT.md](./COMPRESSION_RULES_FORMAT.md)) and lands ad-hoc via
+a normal PR. The extension points above (custom engine, language pack, RTK filter)
+are the sanctioned way to contribute one.
+
+Recent examples of exactly this flow:
+
+- RTK filters for Gradle & `dotnet` build output (v3.8.42)
+- RTK filters for kubectl / docker-build / composer / gh (#2824)
+- Caveman Indonesian language pack (#3975), plus German / French / Japanese / Chinese packs
+
+### Headroom (input-compression proxy)
+
+Headroom is **fully internal** — a pinned vendored `gcf` codec snapshot plus
+OmniRoute's own `smartcrusher` / `toon` / `tabular` layers. There is no live
+upstream to track beyond the vendored copy; updates to `gcf` are refreshed
+manually when the codec changes and re-validated against the compression budget
+gate (`check:compression-budget`).
+
+### Proposing an upstream-inspired improvement
+
+1. **Don't vendor** — re-express the upstream rule/filter in OmniRoute's format.
+2. Add it via the matching extension point below (language pack, RTK filter, or
+   custom engine).
+3. Reference the upstream project in the PR description (attribution), not by
+   copying its license-bearing source.
+4. Include tests and confirm the `check:compression-budget` gate still passes.

+not use OAuth refresh, so it avoids shared OIDC session invalidation.
+
+### Dashboard
+
+1. Open **Dashboard -> Providers -> Kiro**.
+2. Choose **API Key**.
+3. Paste the API key and optional AWS region (`us-east-1` by default).
+4. OmniRoute validates the key and saves the connection.
+
+### API
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:20128/api/oauth/kiro/api-key \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"apiKey": "kiro_or_codewhisperer_key", "region": "us-east-1"}'
+```
+
+### Internal Contract
+
+The API route validates the key by calling `KiroService.validateApiKey()`, which
+uses `ListAvailableProfiles` against the region-matched CodeWhisperer/Amazon Q
+endpoint and resolves a `profileArn`.
+
+The saved connection uses:
+
+```json
+{
+  "authType": "apikey",
+  "providerSpecificData": {
+    "authMethod": "api_key",
+    "region": "us-east-1",
+    "profileArn": "arn:aws:codewhisperer:..."
+  }
+}
+```
+
+At runtime, `KiroExecutor.buildHeaders()` sends the key as
+`Authorization: Bearer <key>` and adds `tokentype: API_KEY`. Quota/profile calls
+use the same marker so AWS treats the bearer as a long-lived API key rather than
+an OIDC or social access token.

+- **feat(routing):** per-model web-search/web-fetch interception rules. ([#3384](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3384), [#6814](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6814) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **feat(release):** `changelog.d/` fragments — eliminates the CHANGELOG merge-storm cascade. ([#6783](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6783) — thanks @diegosouzapw)

+
+- **feat(dashboard):** sidebar quick-filter — a search input at the top of the expanded dashboard sidebar (`src/shared/components/Sidebar.tsx`) filters nav sections/groups/items client-side by label as you type, reusing the existing `common.search`/`common.noResults` i18n keys (zero new locale edits) and the shared `Input` `icon="search"` pattern; matching sections auto-expand while searching (bypassing the accordion/pin state) and collapse back to normal once the query is cleared. Pure filtering logic extracted into `filterSidebarSectionsByQuery()` (`src/shared/utils/sidebarSearch.ts`) for isolated unit testing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/sidebar-search-filter.test.ts`, `src/shared/components/Sidebar.search.test.tsx`. (#4013 — thanks @crochabe-cyber)
+- **feat(combo):** `auto/*` combos gain a strict budget-cap fallback policy — `X-OmniRoute-Budget-Fallback: strict` (or the persisted `config.budgetFallback: "strict"`) makes an over-budget request fail fast with `HTTP 402` instead of the previous silent fallback to the globally cheapest candidate, which could still exceed the cap. The default (`cheapest`) preserves existing behavior. Builds on the existing `X-OmniRoute-Budget`/`X-OmniRoute-Mode` per-request controls (#6023/#6024/#6025), consolidated into `resolveRequestAutoControls()`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auto-combo-budget-fallback-3470.test.ts`. (#3470)
+- **Provider/model param filters**: config-driven parameter denylist/allowlist per provider/model with auto-learn from upstream 400s (#6649 — thanks @ThongAccount, closes #6625)
+- **Per-combo reasoning token buffer toggle**: the combo builder now exposes an explicit checkbox for the `#3587` reasoning-model `max_tokens` buffer, defaulting to the existing enabled behavior, so a combo can opt out without hand-editing raw JSON config (#6702 — thanks @xz-dev)
+- **feat(dashboard):** 9router-parity **Routing Strategy** settings card on Settings → Routing, plus a per-provider account-routing override on the provider detail page ([#6678](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6678)) — surfaces the existing account round-robin / sticky-limit knobs and adds a new combo-level sticky round-robin (`comboStickyRoundRobinLimit`, resolved via `resolveComboStickyRoundRobinLimit()` — per-combo → global combo sticky → account sticky cascade) so combo targets can batch calls per target the same way account fallback already does. A new `providerStrategies` setting (Zod-validated map, `src/shared/validation/settingsSchemas.ts`) lets a specific provider override the global `fallbackStrategy`/`stickyRoundRobinLimit` without touching the account-wide default, wired into `getProviderCredentials()` (`src/sse/services/auth.ts`) ahead of the global fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-rr-sticky-9router.test.ts`, `tests/unit/settings-ui-layout-static.test.ts`. (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **feat(icons):** provider logos now resolve local SVG assets first for faster rendering, with a 5-tier fallback chain — local SVG → `@lobehub/icons` React components → `thesvg.org` CDN (external SVG for unknown providers) → local PNG → generic AI icon — replacing the previous LobeHub-first order. Adds dozens of first-party provider SVGs and migrates several bitmap logos (continue/copilot/cursor/deepgram/heroku/openclaw/ovhcloud) from PNG to SVG. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/ProviderIcon-icon-url.test.tsx`. ([#6317](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6317) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **Skill Collector CLI detection**: new `GET /api/skills/collect/detect` + `POST /api/skills/collect/install` (and the `cli-skill-collector` agent skill) detect which coding CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Cline, Hermes, OpenCode, etc.) are installed locally via `getCliRuntimeStatus()`, match them against GitHub agent-skill repos, and plan an install path per tool — replacing the standalone Skill Collector Python app. Both new routes and `GET/POST /api/github-skills` now require management auth (`requireManagementAuth()`) and are loopback-gated (`LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` + `SPAWN_CAPABLE_PREFIXES`) since the detect route spawns a child process per candidate CLI tool (Hard Rules #15 + #17). The `omniroute_github_skills_install` MCP tool now reports the honest `action: "planned"` instead of `"installed"`, matching the REST route (#6294 — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **ClinePass dual-auth**: ClinePass now offers both sign-in methods on its dashboard page — OAuth (reusing the Cline WorkOS flow) as the primary "Connect" path, or a pasted BYOK API key via "Manual API key", instead of only the API-key-only provider shipped in #5942. The registry alias was aligned to `cp` (matching the `OAUTH_PROVIDERS` catalog alias) so `<alias>/<modelId>` routing resolves correctly, the OAuth refresh dispatch now routes `clinepass` to the shared Cline refresh flow, and the duplicate API-key-only catalog entry was removed to keep ClinePass listed once. Regression guard: `tests/unit/clinepass-provider.test.ts`. (#6126 — thanks @hajilok)
+- **feat(oauth):** Kiro/Amazon Q auto-import now supports enterprise **External IdP** ("Your organization") logins via Microsoft Entra/Okta/Auth0/OneLogin/Ping/Google/Cognito — these org-issued tokens are not AWS SSO tokens (no `aorAAAAAG`-prefixed refresh token) and can't refresh through the AWS OIDC/Kiro-social path, so `tryAwsSsoCache()` now detects them (`authMethod`/`provider === "externalidp"`) and refreshes via the org IdP's own `tokenEndpoint` (public-client OAuth2 refresh grant, no client secret), persisting `TokenType: EXTERNAL_IDP` gating so the runtime executor sends the header the AWS CodeWhisperer API requires for these accounts; `tokenEndpoint` is SSRF-guarded against an HTTPS + known-IdP-host-suffix allowlist. (#6363 — thanks @artickc)
+- **Kiro long-lived API key auth**: new `/api/oauth/kiro/api-key` route + `KiroService.validateApiKey` let a Kiro account be linked with a long-lived AWS CodeWhisperer/Kiro API key instead of the interactive OAuth device flow, with live per-account model discovery (`ListAvailableModels`, 5-minute cache) layered over the existing static registry fallback (#6587 — thanks @strangersp)
+- **Chaos Mode**: multi-model parallel/collaborative task execution — dispatches a task to every active provider connection at once (parallel) or chains outputs sequentially so each model builds on the previous one's answer (collaborative), configurable via Dashboard → Chaos Mode (`GET`/`PUT`/`DELETE /api/chaos/config`) and gated per-API-key via a new `chaosModeEnabled` permission (opt-in — disabled by default globally and per key). `POST /api/chaos/run` (dashboard session) and `POST /api/skills/collect/chaos` (external Bearer-token) delegate to a shared `executeChaosRun()` engine (`src/lib/chaos/chaosExecutor.ts`) that dispatches in-process via the established synthetic-Request/route-handler pattern (no network hop, no hardcoded port), with a concurrency cap (max 10 parallel), configurable `max_tokens` (256–128k), a clear error when `stream` is requested, and collaborative-chain info (provider order + input size). Fixes external Bearer-auth bypass and stale config-cache leakage. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chaos-config.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chaos-executor.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chaos-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6728](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6728) — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **feat(cli):** 2 new CLI tool integrations on Dashboard → CLI Tools — **omp** (Oh My Pi) and **letta** — each with binary detection, config apply/reset, and a settings card following the existing tool-card pattern. Both settings routes shell out to `which omp`/`which letta` to detect the local install, so they're loopback-gated (`LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES`, Hard Rules #15/#17) in addition to the shared `requireCliToolsAuth()` management-auth guard every cli-tools route requires, and route errors through `sanitizeErrorMessage()`; `src/lib/db/omp.ts` isolates the `omp` CLI's own local SQLite reads behind parameterized queries. (Note: the original PR also proposed **pi**, **codewhale**, and **jcode** integrations — those three had already shipped via a separate PR by the time this one was reconciled, so only omp+letta landed here.) Regression guard: `tests/unit/db/omp.test.ts`, `tests/unit/cli-tools-auth-hardening.test.ts`, `tests/integration/cli-settings-omp.test.ts`, `tests/integration/cli-settings-letta.test.ts`. ([#6318](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6318) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **feat(providers):** custom models now support a manual **Context Window Override** so an operator can correct a provider's misreported context length (e.g. reports 1M when the real limit is 128K) instead of the model silently getting dropped from combo routing once the wrong value lands in the catalog ([#4125](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/4125) — thanks @rucciva). Reuses the existing Feature-5004 `model_context_overrides` table (`source: "manual"`) — already the priority-0 source `getModelContextLimit()` (the function combo's context-window filter calls) reads ahead of the models.dev/registry/static catalog — so no new resolver logic was needed, only the missing write path: `PUT /api/provider-models` now accepts an optional `contextWindowOverride` (number to set, `null` to clear), `GET` surfaces the current value back on each custom-model row, and the provider detail page's custom-model edit form gained a Context Window Override field + badge. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-context-window-override-4125.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** register OpenRouter as a rerank provider so `openrouter/cohere/rerank-*` models resolve instead of erroring `Invalid rerank model` (#6574 — thanks @rafpigna)
+- **fix(api):** `HEAD` requests no longer hang until client timeout on any route — valid, unknown, authed, or unauthed ([#6400](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6400)), broader follow-up to the route-specific #6517 (`/v1/models`). Root cause: Next.js 16's App Router _route-handler_ pipeline (`next/dist/server/send-response.js`) correctly skips piping a `Response` body for `HEAD`, but its _page_-rendering pipeline (`next/dist/server/pipe-readable.js` → `pipeToNodeResponse`, used for every app-router page/layout render — including the `not-found` boundary any unmatched path falls through to) has no such check and always streams the full rendered body regardless of method; combined with Node's default keep-alive framing this left some clients unsure whether the (implicitly bodyless) `HEAD` response had actually finished. A new `scripts/dev/head-response-guard.cjs`, wired into both the dev/start custom server (`scripts/dev/run-next.mjs`) and the packaged standalone server (`scripts/dev/standalone-server-ws.mjs`) at the same tier as the existing `http-method-guard.cjs`/`peer-stamp.mjs` wrappers, discards any body bytes written for a `HEAD` request and forces `Connection: close` once `.end()` is called — independent of route existence or auth state, satisfying RFC 9110 §9.3.2. Regression guard: `tests/unit/head-request-closes-6400.test.ts`.
+- **feat(dashboard):** Provider Quota page (`Dashboard → Quota`) fills horizontal whitespace before stacking vertically ([#3520](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3520)) — `QuotaCardGrid` previously stacked every provider group in a single vertical `flex flex-col`, and each group's own card grid didn't go multi-column until `md` (`grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 xl:grid-cols-3 2xl:grid-cols-4`). Provider groups now flow into a 2-column CSS multi-column layout on very wide (`2xl`) screens instead of an unconditional vertical stack, and each group's card grid starts at 2 columns immediately (`grid-cols-2 md:grid-cols-3 xl:grid-cols-4`), reaching higher density sooner on narrower-but-not-mobile viewports. Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-card-grid-horizontal-layout.test.ts` (thanks @gdevenyi).
+- **feat(ws):** the live-dashboard WebSocket server now auto-starts in-process (via `instrumentation-node.ts`) across every deployment mode — dev, production, Docker, Electron — with no separate sidecar script; the default WS port moved from 20129 to **20132** to avoid colliding with `API_PORT` in split-port setups, the deprecated `OMNIROUTE_DISABLE_LIVE_WS` env was consolidated into `OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS` (default enabled), and the WS path is now derived from `NEXT_PUBLIC_LIVE_WS_PUBLIC_URL`'s pathname (`/live-ws` fallback) (#6072 — thanks @ianriizky).
+- **feat(compression):** new **omniglyph** engine (context-as-image) — renders system prompt, tool docs, and dense history as compact PNG pages the model reads instead of text (~10× fewer tokens on the converted block; 59–70% end-to-end measured). Works stacked with RTK/Caveman (`stackPriority: 90`) or standalone (`mode: omniglyph`); restricted to Claude Fable 5 over the direct Anthropic route, fail-closed gates with `skip:<reason>` techniques, preview (`stable: false`, off by default) (#6556). Dependency bumped to `omniglyph@^1.0.2` for upstream ReDoS fixes (#6661).
+- **feat(sandbox):** the skill sandbox gained a container-provider abstraction that auto-detects and uses the best native runtime per host — Apple Container (macOS 26+), WSL container (`wslc.exe`), OrbStack, Podman — instead of hardcoding `docker run`, removing the Docker Desktop requirement on macOS/Windows (#6611 — thanks @KooshaPari).
+- **fix(sse):** skip `thinkingConfig` for Gemma models on the OpenAI→Gemini path so OpenAI-shape clients no longer get a 400 from Vertex. (thanks @chy1211)
+- **feat(xai):** route xAI clients to Grok's native `/v1/responses` endpoint instead of the chat-completions bridge. (thanks @ryanngit)
+- **feat(models):** add a Settings → AI "Model Overrides" UI plus `/api/model-capability-overrides` CRUD and a `model_capability_overrides` table, letting operators set a manual max-output-token override per provider/model (#6727 — thanks @xz-dev).
+- **feat(resilience):** operator-configurable account rotation policy — a new `rotationConfig` layer lets operators tune how connections rotate on failure, wired into `accountFallback` (#6763 — thanks @artickc).
+- **chore(cursor): add Grok 4.5 effort/fast model IDs** (#6774 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- **feat(codex):** Codex provider model discovery now fetches the live catalog from `chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/models` using Codex-shaped headers, falling back to a GitHub-hosted model manifest and then to the local static catalog when the live/GitHub sources are unavailable or return an unexpected shape — new `src/app/api/providers/[id]/models/discovery/codex.ts` (normalization, version-gating, merge/enrich against the local catalog) covered by `tests/unit/provider-models-discovery-split.test.ts` and `tests/unit/provider-models-route-codex.test.ts` (#6776 — thanks @JxnLexn).
+- **feat(cursor):** register the Opus 4.8, Fable 5, and Sonnet 5 model families for the Cursor Agent provider so the latest Claude/Fable model ids route correctly (#6779 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- **Changelog fragments (`changelog.d/`)**: PRs now add their changelog entry as a new fragment file (`changelog.d/{features|fixes|maintenance}/<PR>-<slug>.md`) instead of editing `CHANGELOG.md` — two PRs never touch the same file, structurally eliminating the CHANGELOG-eat merge conflicts that forced a re-sync push + full CI re-run after every sibling merge (O(N²) CI runs in a merge-storm). `scripts/release/aggregate-changelog.mjs` (npm run changelog:aggregate) folds fragments into the living section at release reconciliation, and `check:changelog-integrity` now also validates fragment well-formedness. Regression guard: `tests/unit/changelog-fragments.test.ts`.
+- **feat(proxy):** add a latency-optimized proxy rotation strategy that ranks pool entries by measured round-trip latency, extending the existing round-robin/random/sticky proxy-pool selection (#6798 — thanks @iamraydoan).
+- **feat(fusion):** the fusion judge may now draw on its own knowledge and override the panel when every panel answer is wrong or incomplete, instead of being restricted to synthesizing only from panel output (#6804 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **feat(dashboard):** search box on the Playground's raw model `<select>` (#4086) — the shared `ModelSelectModal` (combo builder + CLI-code cards) already had search, but Playground's `StudioConfigPane` model dropdown stayed a flat unsearchable list, unusable once a provider like OpenRouter contributed 50+ models. Typing now filters the dropdown (Turkish-safe accent/case-insensitive match via `matchesSearch`), while the currently selected model always stays pinned in the list even if it no longer matches the query, so typing never silently swaps the active selection. Reuses the existing `common.search` i18n key (already translated in all 42 locales) — no new translation key needed. Regression guard: `tests/unit/playground-model-selection-3731.test.ts` (`filterModelsByQuery`), `tests/unit/ui/playground-model-search-4086.test.tsx`.
+- **feat(usage):** Antigravity/agy quota widget now surfaces the **weekly** window alongside the existing per-model 5-hour window ([#4017](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/4017)) — the weekly limit isn't part of the per-model `retrieveUserQuota` response the fetcher already calls; it only appears in a separate, undocumented `retrieveUserQuotaSummary` RPC that groups models into families ("Gemini Models", "Claude and GPT models") with one weekly bucket per family. A new `usage/antigravityWeeklyQuota.ts` leaf fetches that RPC (cached, best-effort — a failure or unavailable RPC never breaks the existing per-model quotas) and parses the weekly bucket per group into `gemini_weekly`/`claude_gpt_weekly` quota entries, merged into the same `quotas` map the widget already renders generically. Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-weekly-quota-4017.test.ts` (bucket parsing, the alternate `quotaSummary`-nested envelope, and end-to-end merge via `getUsageForProvider`).
+- **feat(codex):** Codex CLI compatibility shim — the Responses API `response.created`/`response.in_progress`/`response.completed` payloads now carry a `model` field (previously absent), and for Codex-CLI-originated requests it echoes the client-requested, effort-suffixed model id (e.g. `gpt-5.5-xhigh`) instead of the bare upstream id (`gpt-5.5`), so the Codex CLI status line/model button shows the active reasoning effort ([#3697](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3697)). `openaiToOpenAIResponsesResponse` (`open-sse/translator/response/openai-responses.ts`) now threads the upstream model into the Responses event objects; a new `isCodexOriginatedHeaders()` (`open-sse/config/codexIdentity.ts`, reusing PR #3481's `originator`/User-Agent detection) makes chatCore's existing opt-in `echoRequestedModelName` (#1311) model-echo pipeline fire automatically for Codex clients regardless of the setting, detected by request headers so it still applies when `codex/gpt-5.5-xhigh` is routed through a combo to a non-codex upstream; `echoModelInObject`/`echoModelInSseLine` (`open-sse/services/responseModelEcho.ts`) now also rewrite the nested `response.model` field the Responses API uses. `/v1/models` still returns `models: []` for Codex (unchanged). Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-effort-model-echo-3697.test.ts`.
+- **Z.ai Web (free web-session provider)**: new `zai-web` web-cookie provider drives the free chat.z.ai consumer chat UI via a pasted browser session cookie, distinct from the existing API-key `zai`/`glm`/`glm-cn`/`glmt` providers (`api.z.ai`) — modeled on the `doubao-web`/`venice-web` cookie executors and the pre-existing `chatglm-web` credential requirement/token-extraction entries. `ZaiWebExecutor` (`open-sse/executors/zai-web.ts`) posts to `chat.z.ai/api/chat/completions` with the cookie forwarded both as `Cookie` and as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`, and normalizes both z.ai's internal `delta_content`/`phase` SSE envelope and a pass-through OpenAI-shaped `choices[].delta` frame into standard chat-completion chunks. Registered in `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS`, `WEB_SESSION_CREDENTIAL_REQUIREMENTS`, the provider registry (`zai-web` entry, GLM-4.6/4.5/4.5V models), and `tokenExtractionConfig.ts` for in-app cookie capture. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executor-zai-web.test.ts` (16 tests — token extraction, frame parsing for both SSE shapes, streaming and non-streaming aggregation, error paths). (#4056)
+- **feat(compression):** update the vendored **GCF** codec behind the **Headroom** engine to spec **v3.2 (nested flattening)** ([#6837](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6837)). Homogeneous arrays whose rows carry nested objects/arrays now tabularize via `>`-prefixed path fields instead of a low-yield per-row fallback, so nested MCP tool-result rows (`meta:{...}`, `tags:[...]`) compact like flat rows. On representative shapes the update takes deeply-nested payloads the old codec left near-uncompressed from ~3% to ~32% vs JSON (k8s pods, `cl100k_base`), with shallow-nested rows seeing a small bump and flat arrays unchanged. Re-vendored from current gcf-typescript (zero runtime deps, MIT, SPDX-marked, generic-profile only); also folds in the `[N]:` inline-array quoting fix and canonical decimal formatting. Round-trip stays lossless (order-insensitive), and the decoder is hardened against prototype pollution (a `__proto__`/`constructor` path segment never mutates `Object.prototype`, and keys shadowing built-ins like `toString` now round-trip correctly instead of misparsing). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression/headroom-smartcrusher.test.ts` (deep-nested + prototype-pollution cases).
+- **feat(providers):** Add GPT-5.6 support across OpenAI API, Codex, and ChatGPT Web, including Codex Max/Ultra efforts, VS Code metadata, Fast-tier credit accounting, curated live discovery, the Codex 0.144.1 client identity, and correct chat routing for models that also support image generation ([#6862](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6862)) - thanks @backryun
+- **chore(providers):** Align emitted Claude Code identity headers, bridge fingerprints, provider profiles, and documented defaults with claude-cli 2.1.207 ([#6862](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6862)) - thanks @backryun

+### 🐛 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(dashboard):** the Proxy Registry settings page crashed at runtime (`ReferenceError: poolLoaded/bulkImportOpen is not defined`) — the #6625/#6909 hook-extraction refactors deleted 10 state declarations (`poolLoaded`, `poolSaving`, and the 8-member bulk-import family) while ~30 usages remained; all restored (caught by the release E2E; `typecheck:core` does not cover dashboard TSX — follow-up #7021). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(combo):** `comboStickyRoundRobinLimit` now defaults to inherit (`null`) instead of `1` — the literal default silently shadowed the documented batched round-robin rotation (`stickyRoundRobinLimit: 3`), flipping every round-robin combo to per-request alternation (#6678 follow-up, caught by the release CI). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(ws):** the standalone LiveWS startup script exited 0 without ever listening — its bootstrapped child re-spawned with the import-suppressor `OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS=0` and then honored it as an operator disable (#6072 follow-up, caught by the release CI). (thanks @diegosouzapw)

+- **fix(i18n):** the provider-detail (`/dashboard/providers/[id]`) visibility + free/paid model filter labels (`showVisibleOnly`, `showHiddenOnly`, `freeFilterAll`, `freeFilterFreeOnly`, `freeFilterPaidOnly`, `hideAllModels`, plus the currently-unused `filterVisible`/`filterHidden`/`filterByVisibility`) rendered as the literal `__MISSING__:<english>` sentinel in 15 locales, including pt-BR ([#6694](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6694)) — `providerText()` (`providerPageHelpers.ts`) checks `t.has(key)` before falling back to clean English, and `t.has()` returns `true` even when the stored value is the `__MISSING__:` sentinel `scripts/i18n/sync-ui-keys.mjs` writes when mirroring keys across locales, so the sentinel rendered verbatim instead of the fallback. Disjoint key set from #6290 (`filterAll`/`filterActive`/`filterError`/`filterBanned`/`filterCreditsExhausted`). All 9 keys now carry real translations across the 15 affected locale files (`it`, `ja`, `ko`, `mr`, `ms`, `nl`, `no`, `phi`, `pl`, `pt`, `pt-BR`, `ro`, `ru`, `sk`, `sv`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-provider-visibility-filter-keys-6694.test.ts`.

+- **fix(cli):** the dashboard's Claude Code CLI card could report "Not detected"/"Not installed" even when Claude Code was genuinely installed and previously used ([#6701](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6701)) — `getCliRuntimeStatus()` (`src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts`) determined `installed` purely from binary resolution (known install paths + a `where`/`which` PATH search), with no fallback when that lookup fails for reasons unrelated to whether the CLI is actually installed (stale PATH inherited by a long-running/background process, the binary having moved, an install method not yet catalogued, etc.) — even though `~/.claude/settings.json` on disk proves the tool was installed and used before. Upstream 9router's equivalent route already has this exact fallback. A new `withSettingsFallback()` (`src/shared/services/cliInstallFallback.ts`) restores 9router parity: when the binary lookup's own reason is `"not_found"` (never for deliberate security rejections like unsafe/relative env overrides or symlink escapes) and the tool's settings file exists on disk, `installed` now reports `true`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6701-claude-detect-fallback.test.ts`.
+- **fix(cli):** per-agent AgentBridge DNS toggle was broken for 8 of the 9 supported agents, and a failed MITM startup step could orphan the spawned proxy child — `addDNSEntry`/`removeDNSEntry` (`src/mitm/dns/dnsConfig.ts`) always resolved the legacy Antigravity default hosts regardless of which agent's toggle was flipped, so enabling DNS for Cursor/Codex/Claude Code/etc. silently added only `daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com` while the DB recorded `dns_enabled=true` for the selected agent. Both functions now accept an optional `agentId` and resolve hosts via `ALL_TARGETS`; `POST /api/tools/agent-bridge/agents/[id]/dns` passes the route's `id` through and now returns 404 for an id that doesn't match a known target instead of silently falling back. Separately, `startMitmInternal()` (`src/mitm/manager.ts`) now wraps `generateCert()` (log + rethrow), the `provisionDnsEntries()` call, and the PID-file write in try/catch so a mid-startup failure can't orphan the already-spawned MITM child process. On Windows, `addDNSEntries`/`removeDNSEntries` also batch every missing/present entry into a single elevated PowerShell invocation instead of one UAC prompt per host line. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dns-config-generic.test.ts` (agent-specific resolution + batching), `tests/unit/agent-bridge-dns-route-validation.test.ts` (404 for unknown agent id). ([#6338](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6338) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **fix(guardrails):** Vision Bridge's individual-model auto-reroute (route an image-bearing request straight to a vision-capable model instead of describe-then-forward) could bypass a policy-restricted API key's model allowlist/budget ([#6640](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6640)) — `VisionBridgeGuardrail.preCall()` (`src/lib/guardrails/visionBridge.ts`) swaps `body.model` to the best available vision-capable model, but that swap happens in the guardrail pipeline AFTER `chat.ts` already called `enforceApiKeyPolicy()` against the ORIGINAL model, so a key scoped to a narrow `allowedModels` list could still execute against an unvetted (and possibly costlier) vision model the reroute picked. `chat.ts` now re-validates any guardrail-driven model change against the same per-key allowlist (`isModelAllowedForKey`) before honoring it, falling back to the original already-approved model when the reroute target is not allowed. The reroute path also now honors an explicit `settings.visionBridgeModel` operator override (previously ignored, unlike the combo/describe path a few lines below it, which already respects it via `getVisionBridgeConfig`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/guardrails/visionBridge.test.ts` (22 tests). (thanks @herjarsa)
+- **fix(auth):** an API key restricted via `allowedModels`/`allowedCombos` could bypass that restriction entirely over the Codex Responses-over-WebSocket bridge ([#6564](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6564)) — `prepare()` in `src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts` authenticated the WS bridge's API key (`authenticate()`/`authorizeWebSocketHandshake()`) and honored `allowedConnections`, but never called `enforceApiKeyPolicy()`, the same model/combo policy gate the HTTP `/v1/responses` path enforces via `handleChat()` — so a key scoped to e.g. `combo/model-1.0` could still reach a direct Codex model like `gpt-5.5` through this transport, as long as an eligible Codex OAuth connection existed. The bridge's WS auth token arrives via query params (`api_key`/`token`/`access_token`), not a normal `Authorization` header, so a new `enforceCodexWsApiKeyPolicy()` builds an equivalent `Request` carrying an explicit `Authorization: Bearer <apiKey>` header and calls `enforceApiKeyPolicy()` against the CLIENT-requested model, before any Codex-specific model remapping or credential selection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-ws-policy-enforcement-6564.test.ts` (a model-restricted key is rejected 403 before reaching credential selection; a combo-restricted key is rejected 403 requesting a disallowed combo; a key that DOES allow the requested model still proceeds past policy). (thanks @Squawk7777 for the report and an independent fix via #6565)
+- **fix(security):** loopback-gate `/api/middleware/*` so a leaked JWT over a tunnel can't install or trigger a middleware hook — middleware hooks compile + run arbitrary JS via `new vm.Script` on the request hot path (`src/lib/middleware/registry.ts`), the same RCE class as the already-gated `/api/plugins/*`; `/api/middleware/` is now in `LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` so loopback enforcement runs unconditionally before any auth check (Hard Rules #15 + #17). Regression guard: `tests/unit/route-guard-middleware-local-only.test.ts`. ([#6541](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6541)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(startup):** AgentBridge's MITM server no longer fails to start with `ROUTER_API_KEY is required` on a normal install ([#6403](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6403)) — `POST /api/tools/agent-bridge/server` resolved the spawned MITM child's router key from only an explicit `apiKey` body field (never sent by the AgentBridge UI — the schema has no such field) and the `ROUTER_API_KEY` env var (unset by default), so `startMitm()` always received `""` and the child hard-exited, even though OmniRoute already had a usable API key in its own DB. A new `resolveRouterApiKey()` now falls back to `pickApiKeyForInternalUse()` (the same DB-backed selector the combo-health-check / cloud-sync internal probes use), resolving in order: explicit key → `ROUTER_API_KEY` env → an existing DB key. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentbridge-mitm-router-key-6403.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** deploying a Cloudflare relay Worker from Dashboard → System → Proxy pool → Cloudflare relay failed immediately with `Cloudflare Worker upload failed: Content-Type must be one of: application/javascript, text/javascript, multipart/form-data`, even with a valid token/account ([#6416](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6416)) — the Worker-script upload built a native `FormData` and let `fetch` derive the multipart Content-Type automatically, but in production `globalThis.fetch` is patched with `node_modules/undici`'s own fetch (`open-sse/utils/proxyFetch.ts`), whose `FormData`/`Request` classes differ from the runtime's global `FormData` (same cross-realm class mismatch already fixed once for image edits in #3273); passing a native `FormData` instance through undici's patched fetch made it serialize the body as the literal string `"[object FormData]"` with `Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8`, which Cloudflare rejects outright. `buildCloudflareWorkerUploadRequest()` (`src/lib/proxyRelay/cloudflareWorkerScript.ts`) now builds the multipart body as a raw `Buffer` with an explicit boundary and `Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=…` header, accepted verbatim by any fetch implementation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloudflare-worker-upload-content-type-6416.test.ts` + updated `tests/unit/relay-deploy-5128.test.ts`.
+- **fix(security):** SSRF-guard the provider-validation probes so they can no longer be used as an open relay to cloud-metadata endpoints — `directHttpsRequest()` (web-cookie / NVIDIA / Z.AI validation, all with a caller-controllable `baseUrl`) ran with `guard:"none"` + `allowRedirect:true`; it now applies `getProviderValidationGuard()` (default `block-metadata`: LAN/localhost allowed, `169.254.169.254`/link-local IMDS rejected, opt-out via `OMNIROUTE_ALLOW_PRIVATE_PROVIDER_URLS`) and `allowRedirect:false` so a provider can't 3xx-redirect the probe to metadata past the initial-URL guard. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-validation-ssrf-guard.test.ts`. ([#6542](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6542)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(startup):** AgentBridge's MITM proxy served a mismatched cert for 3 of the 4 antigravity/cloudcode-pa hosts it terminates TLS for, breaking interception ([#6494](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6494)) — `src/mitm/server.cjs`'s `TARGET_HOSTS` decrypts all 4 hosts locally (`daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`, `cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`, `daily-cloudcode-pa.sandbox.googleapis.com`, `autopush-cloudcode-pa.sandbox.googleapis.com`), but `src/mitm/cert/generate.ts`'s self-signed cert only carried a SAN entry for the first host — a request to any of the other 3 got served a cert whose CN/SAN didn't match (confirmed via `curl -k https://cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com/` showing `CN=daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`). `generateCert()` now sources its host list from `ANTIGRAVITY_TARGET.hosts` (`src/mitm/targets/antigravity.ts`, the single authoritative registry already kept in lock-step with `server.cjs`/`dnsConfig.ts`/`mitmToolHosts.ts` by their own drift tests) and emits a SAN entry for all 4 hosts instead of hard-coding a second, incomplete copy. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentbridge-antigravity-cert-hosts-6494.test.ts` (asserts the host list covers all 4 hosts and that the real generated cert's SAN includes each one).
+- **fix(resilience):** a `priority` combo never fell back when a target masked credit/quota exhaustion behind an HTTP 200 ([#6427](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6427)) — `validateResponseQuality()` (`open-sse/services/combo/validateQuality.ts`) only inspected the response body's top-level `error` field when `choices` was ALSO missing/empty (the narrower #3424 empty-completion case); a masked 200 that echoed a non-empty stub `choices` alongside a structured error object, or a known exhaustion phrase (e.g. "insufficient credits", "quota exceeded") in the error envelope, slipped through as "valid" and the combo kept returning the dead target's response forever instead of failing over. The quality check now inspects the error envelope — a top-level OpenAI-shape `error` object, or a bounded, case-insensitive exhaustion-phrase match against `error.message`/`error.code`/`error.type`/top-level `message`/`detail` — unconditionally, before any shape-specific branch, and regardless of whether `choices`/`output` also look structurally present. The check never inspects `choices[].message.content`, so a legitimate completion that merely mentions "quota" or "credits" in assistant prose is not misclassified. Regression guard: `tests/unit/masked-200-exhaustion-fallback-6427.test.ts`.
+- **fix(security):** fail-closed CORS for the cookie/session-authed cloud-agent management routes — `getCloudAgentCorsHeaders()` reflected any caller's `Origin` and paired it with `Allow-Credentials: true` (a CSRF/exfil hole); it now defers to the central allowlist (`resolveAllowedOrigin`), echoes only an allowlisted origin with `Vary: Origin`, and emits `Allow-Credentials` only for an explicitly allowlisted origin — never for a `CORS_ALLOW_ALL` wildcard echo. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloud-agent-cors-failclosed.test.ts`. ([#6543](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6543)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(compression):** adaptive-compression ladder ranked 6 real catalog engines (`ccr`, `ionizer`, `relevance`, `llmlingua`, `llm`, `read-lifecycle`) as if they didn't exist ([#6533](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6533)) — `ladder.ts`'s `AGGRESSIVENESS` and `REDUCTION_FACTOR` maps only covered the 7 engines wired into `DEFAULT_LADDER` (session-dedup/rtk/headroom/lite/caveman/aggressive/ultra); every other engine registered in `open-sse/services/compression/engines/index.ts` — including `ccr`/`llmlingua`, which the ladder doc comment already says are intentionally addable via `ladderOverride` — fell through to `aggressivenessOf()`'s `?? 0` default (same rank as `"off"`) and `expectedReductionFactor()`'s generic `?? 0.9` fallback, so `floor`-mode escalation could not rank or escalate past them once added to a custom ladder. Both maps now carry entries for all 6 missing real engines, rescaled ×10 (`off:0` … `ultra:70`) and placed by each engine's documented `stackPriority` (`ionizer` between `rtk`/`headroom`, `relevance` before `caveman`, `llmlingua`/`llm` between `aggressive` and `ultra`, etc.); `mcpAccessibility` — named in the report — is not a registered `CompressionEngine` (it's a separate MCP tool-response truncation mechanism) and was correctly left out. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ladder-engine-maps-6533.test.ts` (asserts every id from `listCompressionEngines()` ranks above `"off"` with a non-default reduction factor). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** tool-call arguments could render as `[object Object]` sequences instead of the real JSON through the `/anthropic` (Anthropic-shape `/messages`) routing path ([#6459](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6459)) — `appendToolCallArgumentDelta()` (`open-sse/utils/toolCallArguments.ts`), the shared accumulator the streaming `openai-to-claude` response translator, `openai-responses` translator, and `responsesTransformer` all call to build up a tool call's `arguments`/`input_json_delta` buffer, treated any non-string `incoming` fragment as an empty string. Some upstreams deliver the full `tool_calls[].function.arguments` value as an already-parsed JSON object/array instead of the OpenAI-contracted JSON-encoded string; the old code silently discarded that fragment, leaving `tool_use.input` empty, and left downstream buffers open to a plain string coercion of the object (`[object Object]`) once client-side concatenation kicked in. `appendToolCallArgumentDelta()` now `JSON.stringify()`s a non-string, non-null object/array fragment into a valid JSON fragment instead of dropping it, so the assembled `partial_json` always parses back into the original structured value. Regression guard: `tests/unit/anthropic-toolcall-args-6459.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(providers):** `fusion` combo returned the opaque `"All fusion panel models failed"` 503 even when only a minority of panel members were actually cooling down / rate-limited, and a user-supplied `fusionTuning.minPanel=1` was silently overridden ([#6454](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6454)) — `handleFusionChat()` hard-clamped the quorum floor via `Math.min(Math.max(2, cfg.minPanel), panel.length)`, so an operator-configured `minPanel=1` never took effect: `collectPanel()`'s straggler-grace timer only starts once `ok >= minPanel`, and with the floor forced to 2 a single fast success plus N slow-failing stragglers never reached quorum, so the panel sat waiting instead of degrading to the survivor. Per-member failure reasons (`straggler_dropped`/`timeout`/`threw`/`status_XXX`/`empty_content`/`unparseable`) were also logged server-side but never surfaced in the 503 body, leaving operators unable to tell a rate-limit fan-fail from a broader outage. Fixed by honoring `Math.max(1, cfg.minPanel)` and threading a `failures: Array<{ model, reason }>` collector into the 503 message (`model=reason` per entry) — production fix already merged via #6521; this entry backfills the missing CHANGELOG bullet and adds an 11-member, `fusion-free`-scale regression test matching the original repro shape (a cooling minority must not sink a healthy majority; a genuinely all-failed panel still returns the documented 503). Regression guard: `tests/unit/services/fusion-min-panel-and-failure-detail.test.ts` + `tests/unit/fusion-partial-panel-failure-6454.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(providers):** `fusion` combo strategy silently returned a panel member's raw answer instead of the configured `config.judgeModel` synthesis ([#6455](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6455)) — `handleFusionChat()`'s single-survivor "degrade gracefully" path (added for #6454) returned the lone panel answer directly whenever only one panelist succeeded, regardless of whether an explicit `judgeModel` was configured; with the default `minPanel: 2` and a 2-model panel, any single flaky/rate-limited panelist forced this path on every request, so the configured judge (e.g. `auto/claude-opus`) was never invoked and the client-visible `.model` reflected whichever panelist happened to survive. The judge is now still invoked to synthesize a lone surviving answer whenever `judgeModel` is explicitly configured; the cheap direct-answer shortcut is kept only for the implicit case (no `judgeModel` set, where the "judge" is just `panel[0]`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/fusion-judge-model-6455.test.ts` + updated `tests/unit/combo-fusion-strategy.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(combo):** sanitized diagnostic trace on an auto-combo terminal failure — instead of an opaque 503, a terminal combo failure now returns a whitelist-projected trace (candidate pool size, attempted count, excluded provider/reason codes, attempt order, and a terminal-reason code) via the new `errorResponseWithComboDiagnostics()`/`sanitizeComboDiagnostics()` in `open-sse/utils/error.ts` — provider/model ids and enumerated reason codes only, never keys/tokens/bodies, length- and count-capped. A reasoning-budget-exhausted panel now returns an actionable "increase max_tokens" message rather than a blind retry-limit 503. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-diagnostics-trace.test.ts`. ([#6545](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6545)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** image/diffusion models discovered from an upstream catalog (e.g. HuggingFace's live `/v1/models`) are no longer advertised as chat models ([#6457](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6457)) — the chat catalog builder defaulted synced models with no modality info to `endpoints: ["chat"]`, so `huggingface/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0` showed up in the chat `/v1/models` listing and returned `400 "not a chat model"` when called. `catalog.ts` now skips any synced model already registered as an image model for that provider (via the new `isRegisteredImageModel()`), leaving `getAllImageModels()` to list it with the correct `type: "image"`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/image-model-not-in-chat-catalog-6457.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** combo session stickiness never released a pin on a credits-exhausted/banned/expired account, permanently defeating failover for that conversation ([#6692](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6692)) — `applySessionStickiness()` (`open-sse/services/combo/sessionStickiness.ts`) gated the sticky pin only on 5h/weekly usage-percentage headroom, which is orthogonal to account availability: a `credits_exhausted`/`banned`/`expired` connection, or one still inside its `rateLimitedUntil` cooldown, reports perfectly healthy headroom, so the pin was force-promoted back to the front of the target list on every subsequent turn. `clearStickyBinding()` also had zero call sites in `combo.ts`'s failure paths, so a quality-validation-rejected 200 (a masked daily-cap refusal) never released the pin either. The gate now also resolves the bound connection's terminal status/cooldown via a new injectable fetcher seam (fail-open on lookup errors, mirroring the existing saturation fetcher), and `combo.ts`'s two dispatchers (`handleComboChat`/`handleRoundRobinCombo`) release the pin immediately at both their connection-exhaustion classification point and their quality-validation-failure branch via the new `releaseStickyPinOnFailure()`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6692-sticky-terminal.test.ts` + extended `tests/unit/combo-session-stickiness.test.ts`.
+- **fix(test):** replace the bare `expect(true).toBe(true)` tautology in `playground-api-tab.test.tsx`'s SSE test and close the `check:test-masking` gap that let it slip through for a full cycle ([#6404](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6404)) — a prior pass (#6548) had already swapped the literal to `expect(sendBtn).toBeDefined()`, but that stayed just as vacuous: the test's fetch mock returned an empty `/v1/models` list, so `ApiTab`'s Send button is always `disabled` (`!selectedModel`) and the SSE branch never runs — the "SSE infra is verified" comment was never true. The test now mocks a real model, drives the model `<select>` to enable Send, asserts `sendBtn.disabled === false` before clicking, and asserts the streamed SSE delta (`"Hello!"`) actually reached the response editor. Root cause on the detector side: `check-test-masking.mjs`'s tautology subcheck only compares base-vs-HEAD counts within a PR's own diff (`headExtTaut > baseExtTaut`) and no-ops locally when `GITHUB_BASE_SHA`/`GITHUB_BASE_REF` are unset ("sem base ref — pulando") — so a tautology merged once, or checked with a bare local run, was invisible forever after. Added a new always-on, PR-independent absolute-floor scan (`scanBareTautologies` + `countBareTautologies`) over every git-tracked test file for the bare `expect(true).toBe(true)` / `assert.equal(1,1)` / `assert.strictEqual(1,1)` patterns specifically (deliberately excluding `assert.ok(true)`, which has ~15 pre-existing verified-legitimate try/catch-fallback uses repo-wide and stays governed by the lenient diff-only subcheck) — verified zero pre-existing hits repo-wide once this file was fixed, so the new floor is safe to enforce unconditionally. Regression guard: `tests/unit/check-test-masking.test.ts` (new `scanBareTautologies`/`countBareTautologies` cases) + `tests/unit/ui/playground-api-tab.test.tsx`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(oauth):** Codex/ChatGPT (and every other OAuth provider) connection stays stuck showing "Auth Failed" even after a genuinely successful token refresh ([#6352](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6352)) — `updateProviderCredentials()` (the shared `onPersist` callback for the manual "Refresh token" route, the reactive per-request refresh in `chat.ts`, and the Codex/Claude auth-file importers) correctly reused the stored `refresh_token`, persisted the new `access_token`, and replaced a rotated `refresh_token`, but never cleared the stale `testStatus`/`lastError*`/`errorCode` fields left over from a prior expired/invalid refresh or upstream 401/403 — only the separate background health-check sweep did that clearing. A successful refresh now resets `testStatus` to `"active"` and clears `lastError`, `lastErrorAt`, `lastErrorType`, `lastErrorSource`, and `errorCode` (an explicit `testStatus` from the caller still wins). Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-oauth-refresh-persist-6352.test.ts`.
+- **perf(health):** short-TTL (1s) cache for the frequently-polled `GET /api/monitoring/health` payload — rebuilding it every request (DB reads + status aggregation across 8 subsystems) was wasteful under rapid polling; the cache stays near-real-time and is invalidated immediately on `DELETE` (circuit-breaker reset) so a manual reset is reflected at once. Regression guard: `tests/integration/monitoring-health-cache.test.ts`. ([#6553](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6553)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(resilience):** `headroom` combo routing did not always select the Codex account with the most free quota ([#6379](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6379)) — `orderTargetsByHeadroom` (`open-sse/services/combo/quotaStrategies.ts`) already loaded the per-connection DB snapshot (with decrypted credentials) via `expandTargetsByQuotaAwareConnections`, but discarded it before calling `getSaturation`; for Codex, `fetchCodexSaturation` forwards straight to `fetchCodexQuota(connectionId, connection)`, which needs `connection` (or a prior `registerCodexConnection()` call, which never happens before headroom ranking runs) to read `accessToken` — so it returned `null` for every candidate, saturation failed open to `0` across the board, and ranking fell back to the original combo order regardless of actual free quota. `getSaturation()` and the headroom `SaturationFetcher` seam now accept and thread the loaded connection snapshot through to `fetchCodexQuota`. Kilo's dup flag vs #5903 was a false positive — that issue is about session-sticky reset-aware/least-used selection, not headroom's Codex saturation lookup. Regression guard: `tests/unit/headroom-codex-quota-snapshot-6379.test.ts`. (thanks @eidoog)
+- **fix(providers):** custom models a provider actually has are no longer dropped from the Free Provider Rankings when both **"Configured only"** and **"Available only"** filters are applied ([#6368](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6368)), follow-up to #6150 — `freeProviderRankings.ts::getProviderModels()` only ever walked the static `open-sse/config/providerRegistry.ts` catalog, so a user-added custom model (e.g. a Puter `claude-fable-5` model saved as "Claude Fable 5") never entered the candidate model list the ranking scores against, and could never survive the #6150 configured/available filters even when actually configured and available. It now additively merges the provider's custom models (`db/models.ts::getCustomModels`) into that candidate list via a new pure, de-duping `mergeProviderModels()` helper, before scoring/filtering runs — catalog free/paid filtering elsewhere is untouched. Regression guard: `tests/unit/free-provider-rankings-custom-models-6368.test.ts`. (thanks @shabeer)
+- **fix(playground):** accept a valid dashboard session for `GET/POST /api/playground/presets` under `REQUIRE_API_KEY=true` — the Playground page calls this route with a cookie/session and no API key, which previously 401'd the authenticated dashboard; `checkAuth()` now accepts a management/dashboard session (`requireManagementAuth`) as an alternative to an API key, while a presented API key must still be valid and the anonymous-allowed default is preserved. Regression guard: `tests/integration/presets-dashboard-auth.test.ts`. ([#6554](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6554)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** `cloudflare-ai` no longer silently drops image/non-text content parts ([#6390](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6390)) — `transformRequest()`'s `flattenContent()` (added for #2539 to satisfy the Workers AI `/ai/v1/chat/completions` plain-string `content` requirement) mapped any non-text OpenAI content part (e.g. `image_url`) to `""` and joined the rest, so a request carrying an image quietly went out as text-only with the attachment gone and no error surfaced. It now throws a clear error on the first non-text part instead of dropping it silently, which the existing top-level `chatCore.ts` catch already routes through `buildErrorBody()`/`sanitizeErrorMessage()` (same pattern as `buildUrl()`'s missing-Account-ID error). Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloudflare-ai-image-parts-6390.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** stop Antigravity connections from falsely reporting **all-accounts quota-exhausted** ([#6295](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6295)) — `genericQuotaFetcher.ts::percentUsedForQuota()` ignored the `fractionReported` flag and defaulted an unreported model's `remainingPercentage` to 0, which computed as 100% used; since `convertUsageToQuotaInfo()` takes the worst-case window across a connection, a single model with no reported fraction dragged the whole account into `limitReached` and `quotaPreflight` skipped it. `percentUsedForQuota()` now returns `null` (unknown, window ignored) whenever `fractionReported === false`, before falling back to `remainingPercentage`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/generic-quota-fetcher.test.ts`.
+- **fix(fusion):** the fusion judge no longer replays a panel member's answer via an idempotency-key collision — fusion's panel + judge sub-requests re-enter `chatCore` sharing the client's headers, so they derived the same `Idempotency-Key`/`x-request-id` and a panel answer saved under the key was replayed by the judge's check ~1ms later (inside the 5s window), returning a panel member's answer instead of the judge synthesis (observed live on `nexa/conversation-fusion`). `composeIdempotencyKey()` now namespaces the key by target provider/model + a digest of the request messages, so sub-requests can't collide while a genuine client retry (same key/model/body) still replays. Regression guard: `tests/unit/idempotency-fusion-collision.test.ts`. ([#6558](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6558)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** grok-cli (Grok Build) now strips `reasoning_effort`/`reasoning` before forwarding the request ([#6288](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6288)) — Claude Code sends `reasoning_effort` on every request (routing the Opus slot), which Grok Build's upstream chat-proxy endpoint rejects with a 400; `transformRequest()`'s existing `UNSUPPORTED` sampling-param strip list (#5273) never covered it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/grok-cli-reasoning-strip-6288.test.ts`.
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute serve` no longer hangs silently on a readiness timeout ([#6321](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6321)) — the child server's stdout was piped to `"ignore"` whenever `--log`/`OMNIROUTE_SHOW_LOG` wasn't set (the default), discarding any debug output, and `runWithSupervisor`'s `waitForServer(...).then((up) => { if (up) {...} })` had no `else` branch, so a boot that never became ready produced zero further output after "⏳ Starting server...". Stdout is now buffered alongside stderr (`ServerSupervisor.getRecentLog()`), and a timeout prints a clear diagnostic plus the buffered output instead of staying silent. Does not by itself explain why boot never completes on a given machine — see the issue for further reproduction. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli-serve-readiness-timeout-6321.test.ts`.
+- **fix(pricing):** Pricing Sync dashboard no longer stuck on "Next Sync: Never" / "Synced Models: 0" ([#6325](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6325)) — `pricingSync.ts` kept sync state (`lastSyncTime`, `lastSyncModelCount`) in module-level vars, but the background periodic sync (`instrumentation-node.ts`) and the dashboard status route (`/api/pricing/sync`) each import the module from separate Next.js standalone webpack chunks, giving each its own independent state; `getSyncStatus()` read the (empty) API-route instance's vars. Sync status is now additionally persisted to a new `pricing_sync_status` `key_value` namespace and `getSyncStatus()` falls back to it when the local module instance never ran a sync itself. Regression guard: `tests/unit/pricing-sync-cross-instance.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** stop spuriously 403-ing "Invalid request origin" on `POST /api/providers/health-autopilot/actions` for Docker/LAN dashboard requests ([#6277](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6277)) — the route carried a duplicate per-route `validateBrowserMutationOrigin` check re-added by the v3.8.42 release squash after PR #5278 centralized origin enforcement in the authz pipeline; the pipeline strips `PEER_IP_HEADER` before forwarding, so the stale duplicate check could no longer resolve the LAN "direct-local-host" candidate and rejected legitimate same-origin LAN mutations (e.g. clicking "remove cooldown" when accessed via a LAN IP). Removed the duplicate check — origin validation is now solely enforced by the centralized pipeline check, which already handles this case correctly. Regression guard: `tests/unit/serial/provider-health-autopilot.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** a bare, unrecognized `403` from a no-credential (`authType:"none"`) provider like mimocode or theoldllm no longer permanently bans the connection ([#6315](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6315), [#6345](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6345)) — `classifyProviderError()`'s 403 branch only exempted `apikey` providers from the terminal `FORBIDDEN` classification, so these free/stateless proxies (no real account/credential to revoke) fell through to `FORBIDDEN` on the first unmatched 403 and got `isActive:false, testStatus:"banned"` with no cooldown or retry. The exemption now also covers `authType:"none"` providers, returning `null` (recoverable) so the existing connection-cooldown/retry layer handles it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/errorClassifier-noauth-403-6315.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** the **Auggie (Augment CLI)** executor no longer fails on Windows with `spawn EINVAL` ([#6304](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6304)) — the global-npm install exposes `auggie` as a `.cmd` shim, which Node's `child_process.spawn` cannot launch on win32 without `shell: true`. Both spawn sites (streaming + the `auggie --version` test) now go through a shared `buildAuggieSpawnOptions()` that sets `shell: process.platform === "win32"`; the argv (built by `buildAuggieArgs()` with a registry-validated `model` and a trailing `--` end-of-options marker) is unchanged, so the argument-injection surface stays closed on non-Windows. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auggie-win32-spawn-6304.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** the dashboard **"Test model"** action is now a clean connection test ([#6240](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6240)) — `modelTestRunner` sent its probe request without an explicit compression override, so whenever the operator's global `compression.enabled` flag was on the test call inherited compression (and any Output-Styles system prompt), polluting the result. The internal test requests now send `X-OmniRoute-Compression: off`, and `chatCore` honors an explicit `off` header even when `compression.enabled` is globally true. Regression guards: `tests/unit/model-test-runner-compression-off-6240.test.ts`, `tests/integration/test-model-compression-off-6240.test.ts`.
+- **fix(startup):** an update/restart could crash the whole server at boot with `TypeError: Cannot create property 'message' on string 'Database closed'`, masking the real failure and 500-ing every request until manually restarted ([#6560](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6560), plausibly the root cause of #6594's post-upgrade 500) — `driverFactory.ts::preInitSqlJs()` cached its sql.js WASM adapter per file path in a `globalThis`-backed map for idempotency, but never checked whether the cached adapter had since been closed (e.g. by `gracefulShutdown`/`resetDbInstance` racing a reload); reusing that dead handle made the very next query throw sql.js's own bare string `"Database closed"` (not an `Error`) straight out of `instrumentation-node.ts`'s previously-unguarded `ensureDbInitialized()` call, and Next.js's internal `registerInstrumentation()` wrapper unconditionally does `err.message = ...` on whatever `register()` rejects with — assigning `.message` on a primitive string throws in strict mode, so the secondary `TypeError` is what actually crashed the process. Fixed in two parts: `preInitSqlJs()` now evicts a closed cached adapter and creates a fresh one instead of returning it; a new `ensureDbReadyForBoot()` wraps the DB-init call, normalizes any non-Error throw via `normalizeBootError()`, and retries once specifically for a transient "database closed" message (now succeeding against the fresh adapter) before re-throwing anything else as a real `Error`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/instrumentation-database-closed-6560.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/keys` no longer hangs 20–90+ seconds on a fresh install, even with valid auth ([#6570](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6570)) — `cloudEnabled` defaults to `true` in `src/lib/db/settings.ts::getSettings()` on any install with no persisted settings row (i.e. every fresh install), so the create-key handler's unconditional `await syncKeysToCloudIfEnabled()` always attempted a real outbound `fetch()` to `CLOUD_URL` via `syncToCloud()`; when that endpoint is unset/unreachable/slow, the HTTP response blocked until the request settled or timed out — unlike sibling routes (`POST /api/keys/:id/regenerate`, `GET /api/combos`), which never touch this side effect at all. `src/app/api/keys/route.ts` now dispatches `syncKeysToCloudIfEnabled()` fire-and-forget (`void`) instead of awaiting it; its internal try/catch already logs failures, so cloud sync still runs, it just no longer blocks the response. Regression guard: `tests/unit/api-keys-create-no-hang-6570.test.ts` (asserts the route resolves in well under 2s even when the Cloud-sync `fetch()` is stubbed to never settle) + updated `tests/integration/api-keys.test.ts` (the pre-existing "triggers cloud sync"/"still succeeds when cloud sync fails" tests, which previously hung indefinitely on this exact path, now await the fire-and-forget sync tick before asserting).
+- **fix(api):** editing any existing OpenAI Codex provider connection in the dashboard returned "Invalid request" and the edit could never be saved ([#6562](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6562)) — `createProviderConnection()` (`src/lib/db/providers.ts`) auto-increments a new connection's `priority` to `MAX(priority)+1` per provider with no upper bound, and OAuth-imported connections (Codex `codex-auth/import` / `import-bulk`, up to 50 accounts per call, callable repeatedly — the standard Codex bulk-account-rotation workflow) never pass through `createProviderSchema`'s Zod validation at all, so nothing ever capped that value; `EditConnectionModal`'s `handleSubmit` always resends the connection's current `priority` unchanged on every save, and `updateProviderConnectionSchema` capped `priority`/`globalPriority` at `max(100)` — a UI-only ceiling the create path never enforced — so the first edit of any connection whose priority had already grown past 100 (routine once a Codex account count exceeds 100) failed validation regardless of which field the user actually changed. Raised the ceiling to `max(100_000)` on both fields — still bounded (a genuinely out-of-range value is still rejected), just wide enough to accept priorities the app itself already produces. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-connection-edit-6562.test.ts` (a Codex OAuth connection whose priority already exceeds the old 100 cap now validates + persists on edit; a control payload with a still-genuinely-invalid priority is still rejected with "Invalid request").
+- **mimocode**: rotate accounts on MiMoCode's rate-limit-style 400s (body-classified) instead of failing on the first account; malformed 400s still fail fast with the real upstream error (#6648 — thanks @pizzav-xyz)
+- **fix(cli):** compression CLI REST fallback now reads/writes the canonical `defaultMode` field (surfaced as `strategy`) instead of a nonexistent `engine` key, and table output renders nested objects as JSON instead of `[object Object]` (#6571 — thanks @charleszolot)
+- **fix(providers):** web-cookie providers without a `providerRegistry.ts` entry (`lmarena`, `gemini-business`, `poe-web`, `venice-web`, `v0-vercel-web`) now report `unsupported: true` instead of silently "OK" ([#6309](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6309)) — `validateWebCookieProvider()` (`src/lib/providers/validation.ts`) previously required a registry entry and returned "Provider not found in registry" for these; a fallback to `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS[provider].website` was proposed, but live verification showed the `${website}/models` probe does not reliably signal session validity for these providers (redirects/SPA 200s regardless of cookie validity — e.g. lmarena's real API is `arena.ai`, not `lmarena.ai`; Poe's real endpoint is a GraphQL POST, not a REST `/models`), so it would report an expired or garbage cookie as valid. Until each provider has a verified, side-effect-free auth probe against its real API host, the fallback now returns `unsupported` (no network call) instead of a false positive. Regression guard: `tests/unit/web-cookie-validation-fallback.test.ts`. (thanks @oyi77)
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/middleware/hooks` and `PUT /api/middleware/hooks/[name]` no longer leak raw internal error messages in their 500 responses (#6645 — thanks @chirag127) — both catch blocks returned `error?.message` directly (Hard Rule #12), which could surface internal SQLite path fragments on a DB failure; both now route through `sanitizeErrorMessage()` from `open-sse/utils/error.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/middleware-hooks-error-sanitization.test.ts`.
+- **fix(docker):** compile better-sqlite3 for the server Docker image (Dokploy/self-hosted builds) via a direct `node-gyp rebuild` inside `node_modules/better-sqlite3`, instead of `npm rebuild better-sqlite3` ([#6700](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6700)) — the `builder` stage installs dependencies with `npm ci --ignore-scripts` (deliberate: closes the supply-chain surface where a transitive dep's install script runs arbitrary code) and re-enables the native build for the one package that needs it; `npm rebuild <pkg>` re-runs that indirectly through the package's own install script, which under npm 11 depends on npm's script-allowlist machinery correctly re-enabling it — some self-hosted build environments (e.g. Dokploy) hit a broken/mismatched native binding through that indirection. Invoking `node-gyp rebuild` directly bypasses npm's script-running layer entirely and is deterministic regardless of npm version. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dockerfile-better-sqlite3-node-gyp-6700.test.ts`. (thanks @nowhats-br)
+- **fix(providers):** the Cloudflare relay Worker deploy fix in #6416/#6618 still failed uploads in practice — it changed the multipart Content-Type but kept the emitted worker source as an ES module (`export default { fetch(...) }`) with `main_module` metadata; Cloudflare's Workers upload API parses a plain `application/javascript` script part as Service Worker syntax regardless of the `main_module` metadata field, and `main_module` requires the script to actually be an ES module (top-level `export`), so the mismatch still rejected the upload ([#6496](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6496)). `buildCloudflareWorkerScript()` (`src/lib/proxyRelay/cloudflareWorkerScript.ts`) now emits Service Worker syntax (`addEventListener("fetch", ...)`, no top-level `export`) and the upload metadata uses `body_part` instead of `main_module`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/relay-deploy-5128.test.ts` (asserts the emitted script has no `export default`, registers a `fetch` listener, and the upload metadata carries `body_part`/omits `main_module`; also proves the inlined `isPrivateHostname()` SSRF guard still rejects bracketed IPv6 loopback/ULA hosts like `[::1]`/`[fd00::1]` after the script-body rewrite). (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **fix(providers):** ChatGPT Web (`chatgpt-web`) responses rendered raw ChatGPT UI citation markup — private-use marker tokens (e.g. `citeturn0search0`) and `url…` inline-link markers — instead of real Markdown links, since these only ever get resolved client-side by chatgpt.com's own JS using `message.metadata.content_references` ([#6635](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6635)) — `cleanChatGptText()` now resolves `content_references` (grouped webpages, footnote sources, inline `webpage`/`url` mentions) into `[label](url)` Markdown links for both the streaming and non-streaming response builders, and for the GPT-5.5 Pro `stream_handoff` polled-answer path, falling back to stripping any marker that has no resolvable source instead of leaking the raw private-use bytes. The citation parsing/rendering logic was extracted into a new pure sibling module (`open-sse/executors/chatgpt-web/citations.ts`) to keep the executor under the frozen file-size cap. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chatgpt-web-citations.test.ts` (non-streaming citation resolution, streaming marker buffering across split SSE chunks, and the Pro-handoff polled-answer path). (thanks @Thinkscape)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the live-dashboard WebSocket descriptor handshake (`GET /api/v1/ws?handshake=1`) and the lightweight `GET /api/health/ping` liveness probe both 401'd for unauthenticated callers, even though both are metadata-only reads intended to be public ([#6335](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6335)) — `clientApiPolicy` required a bearer/dashboard-session before the WS route handler could even return its own `wsAuth`/protocol descriptor, and `/api/health/ping` was never added to `PUBLIC_READONLY_API_ROUTE_PREFIXES` despite its own docstring documenting it as "No auth required." `clientApiPolicy.evaluate()` now allows an anonymous `{kind:"anonymous", id:"ws-handshake"}` subject for GET/HEAD/OPTIONS on `/api/v1/ws?handshake=1` (the route handler still performs its own real wsAuth/dashboard/API-key decision before opening the socket), and `/api/health/ping` is now in `PUBLIC_READONLY_API_ROUTE_PREFIXES`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/authz/client-api-policy.test.ts` (WS handshake allowed, including relative request URLs), `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`, and `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts` (`/api/health/ping` classified `PUBLIC`). (thanks @JxnLexn)

+- **fix(providers):** web-provider model discovery updated — qwen-web uses the slash-terminated models endpoint (avoiding a blocked 307 redirect), and kimi-web matches the current request shape (POST with bearer + `kimi-auth` cookie replay) with its catalog refreshed to the current non-agent models (#6308 — thanks @janeza2).

+- **fix(routing):** the `auto` combo's no-auth candidate pool now honors a disabled provider connection's own `isActive=false` (the toggle on the main Providers grid card), not just the separate global `blockedProviders` setting — disabling opencode/mimocode/etc. via the grid toggle no longer leaves it in rotation ([#6557](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6557)).
+- **fix(sse):** server-tool literal names (e.g. `web_search`) are preserved in message history and `tool_choice` instead of being namespaced/rewritten, so follow-up turns referencing those tools keep working (#6586 — thanks @MikeTuev).

+- **fix(sse):** requests rejected before `handleChatCore` (circuit-breaker/cooldown gate or combo with all targets exhausted) are now recorded in `usage_history` too, so a key whose traffic was entirely gate-rejected no longer shows "zero requests" in the per-API-key usage counter (#6698).
+- **fix(sse):** unwrap bare `{function:{…}}` tools so OpenAI-shape clients no longer have tools silently dropped in Claude translation. (thanks @samir-abis)
+- **fix(oauth):** stop merging distinct Codex OAuth logins that share an email but lack a verifiable account id, preventing silent token overwrite. (thanks @lucasjustinudin)
+- **fix(codex):** detect "model at capacity"/overloaded errors embedded in a 200-OK SSE stream and surface them as a real error so account fallback rotates, instead of passing them through as a successful response. (thanks @ryanngit)
+- **fix(volcengine):** clamp `max_tokens` to the VolcEngine Ark endpoint cap for the Kimi model so oversized values no longer 400. (thanks @whale9820)
+- **fix(antigravity):** surface aborted/malformed Gemini tool calls (e.g. `MALFORMED_FUNCTION_CALL`) as an explicit non-`end_turn` finish reason instead of a silent clean completion. (thanks @anhdiepmmk)
+- **fix(routing):** the reasoning-token headroom buffer clamps to the model's explicit output cap instead of inflating past it, and `getExplicitModelOutputCap` falls through to the registry/spec cap when a synced capability row exists without a numeric `limit_output` ([#6714](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6714)) — thanks @xz-dev
+- **fix(api):** `omniroute health` (and `health components`/`health watch`) returned `Error: HTTP 404` ([#6677](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6677)) — `bin/cli/commands/health.mjs` called `apiFetch("/api/health", ...)`, a route that was moved to `GET /api/monitoring/health` (`src/app/api/monitoring/health/route.ts`) without updating the CLI; `src/app/api/health/` on disk only has `degradation/route.ts` and `ping/route.ts`, no top-level handler. `runHealthCommand()`/`runHealthComponentsCommand()` now call `/api/monitoring/health` and read its actual payload shape (`activeConnections`, `circuitBreakers: {open, halfOpen, closed}`, `memoryUsage`) instead of the old, nonexistent `requests`/`breakers`/`cache`/`memory` fields. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli-health-monitoring-route.test.ts`.
+- **fix(startup):** webpack build broke on case-insensitive filesystems (macOS APFS default, Windows) with a casing-collision warning plus "not exported" errors in `StudioConfigPane.tsx`/`ChatTab.tsx` (#6584) — `src/app/(dashboard)/dashboard/playground/components/ReasoningControls.tsx` (the component) and `reasoningControls.ts` (the utils module) shared the same lower-cased stem in the same directory, and two importers used the extensionless form `from "./reasoningControls"`, the exact resolution path that becomes ambiguous once casing is folded. Renamed the utils module to `reasoningControlUtils.ts` (no collision) and updated the 3 import sites. Regression guard: `tests/unit/case-collision-6584.test.ts` (scans `src/`/`open-sse/` for any same-directory, case-only filename collision). (#6584)
+- **fix(build):** Turbopack production build emitted an "Overly broad patterns can lead to build performance issues" warning per entry point importing `src/lib/agentSkills/generator.ts` (603 warnings reported on v3.8.46, up from 379 on v3.8.45) ([#6582](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6582)) — `generator.ts`'s `outputBase` is built as `path.isAbsolute(outputDir) ? outputDir : path.join(process.cwd(), outputDir)`, where `outputDir` is a runtime function parameter, not a compile-time literal, so Turbopack's build-time file-tracing analyzer can't statically narrow the several dynamic `readdirSync`/`rmSync`/`readFileSync`/`writeFileSync` call sites a few lines below and falls back to a project-wide glob; #6366's commit message claimed to "anchor the base path with a literal" but the shipped code never did. Since this fs access is legitimate and bounded (`skills/<id>/SKILL.md`, ~48 known IDs), `next.config.mjs`'s `turbopack.ignoreIssue` (Next.js 16.2+) now suppresses this specific, known-benign diagnostic, mirroring the existing `webpack.ignoreWarnings`/`isNextIntlExtractorDynamicImportWarning` precedent already in the same file for the webpack path. Regression guard: `tests/unit/next-config.test.ts` (asserts the `turbopack.ignoreIssue` rule shape targeting `src/lib/agentSkills/**`).
+- **fix(providers):** Codex Desktop requests to `gpt-5.3-codex-spark` failed with `[400]: Tool 'image_generation' is not supported with gpt-5.3-codex-spark`, even on paid-plan accounts ([#6651](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6651)) — `CodexExecutor.transformRequest` (`open-sse/executors/codex.ts`) only dropped the Codex Desktop-injected `image_generation` hosted tool when `isCodexFreePlan()` matched the account's plan, with no awareness that Spark-scope Codex models reject `image_generation` upstream regardless of plan. `dropImageGeneration` now also drops it when `getCodexModelScope(model) === "spark"` (the existing Spark classifier from `open-sse/config/codexQuotaScopes.ts`), independent of account plan. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-spark-image-generation.test.ts` (thanks @alltomatos for independently catching and fixing it via #6819).
+- **fix(providers):** the provider quota card's weekly/session bars re-sorted by remaining percentage instead of staying in a fixed, deterministic order ([#6687](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6687)) — `QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`'s `sortQuotasByRemaining()` (added in #5977) was applied unconditionally via `useMemo(() => sortQuotasByRemaining(quotas), [quotas])`, undoing the deterministic `CODEX_QUOTA_ORDER`/`GLM_QUOTA_ORDER` window order `quotaParsing.ts`'s `sortCodexOrder()`/`sortGlmOrder()` (added in #6336) already established for Codex and the GLM family — since #6336 never touched `QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`, the two orderings never composed, so e.g. a Codex `session` window with less headroom than `weekly` rendered after it instead of staying first. A new `hasFixedQuotaOrder()` (`quotaParsing.ts`) and `resolveQuotaDisplayOrder()` (`QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`) now skip the remaining-% re-sort for providers with a fixed window order, threading `providerId` from `QuotaCard.tsx` through to the display layer; every other provider still gets the remaining-% sort. Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-card-expanded-fixed-order-6687.test.ts`.
+- **fix(i18n):** pt-BR was missing 194 UI keys present in `en.json` — a real, silent data-sync gap, not covered by any duplicate/mislabeled #6694 (that issue's 9 `providers.*` keys are disjoint, present-but-untranslated sentinels caused by a separate `providerText()` fallback bug) ([#6695](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6695)) — `scripts/i18n/sync-ui-keys.mjs` (which mirrors newly-added `en.json` keys into every locale) wasn't re-run after recent `en.json` additions, and the CI `i18n:check-ui-coverage` gate only fails a locale below an 80% threshold, so pt-BR stayed green at 93.8% coverage despite the gap. Backfilled all 194 missing keys into `src/i18n/messages/pt-BR.json` (translated to Brazilian Portuguese, no leftover `__MISSING__` markers) via `npm run i18n:sync-ui -- --locale=pt-BR` + manual translation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-pt-br.test.ts` (new case asserting full `en.json`→`pt-BR.json` key parity, so a future drift fails a fast unit test instead of silently degrading the coverage percentage).
+- **fix(startup):** `omniroute --mcp` crashed at Node ESM link time with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND` for `ioredis` on installs where the published MCP bundle didn't happen to have `ioredis` rescued from a parent `node_modules` ([#6559](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6559)) — `src/shared/utils/rateLimiter.ts` had a top-level static `import Redis from "ioredis"`; that module is only ever reached via a lazy `await import(...)` several call-sites deep in the MCP tool chain, but esbuild's `--packages=external` bundling of the MCP server (`scripts/build/prepublish.ts` Step 8.5) still hoisted rateLimiter.ts's own static import into a real top-level ESM import in the compiled `dist/open-sse/mcp-server/server.js`, forcing Node to resolve `ioredis` at module-link time — before any `--mcp` startup code runs — and `ioredis` is not guaranteed to ship in the MCP-only bundle's `node_modules`. `getRedisClient()` now lazily imports `ioredis` on first use (matching the established soft-dependency pattern in `src/lib/quota/redisQuotaStore.ts`) while still throwing synchronously when Redis isn't configured. Regression guard: `tests/unit/build/mcp-bundle-no-eager-ioredis.test.ts` (bundles the real MCP server entrypoint with the exact publish-time esbuild flags and asserts no top-level static `ioredis` import remains, while the pre-existing lazy `await import("ioredis")` in `redisQuotaStore.ts` stays intact).
+- **fix(providers):** Kiro sent the adaptive-thinking `additionalModelRequestFields` envelope for `claude-sonnet-4.5`/`claude-haiku-4.5`, which Kiro/CodeWhisperer rejects upstream with a raw `[400]: additionalModelRequestFields is not supported for this model` ([#6576](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6576)) — `buildKiroPayload()` (`open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-kiro.ts`) gated the field on the generic Anthropic-API `supportsReasoning()` capability flag, which is `true` for both models on Anthropic's direct API but does not reflect what Kiro's CodeWhisperer backend actually accepts; only `claude-sonnet-5` is confirmed adaptive-thinking-capable there. A new Kiro-specific allowlist (`supportsKiroAdaptiveThinking()` in `open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-kiro/adaptiveThinking.ts`) now gates the envelope instead. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6576-kiro-thinking-unsupported-model.test.ts`.
+- **fix(translator):** Cursor's local **Subagent** tool call is no longer rejected with `cloud_base_branch may only be specified when environment equals cloud` — the Responses→Chat tool-arg cleanup (`stripEmptyOptionalToolArgs`) was scoped to Claude Code's `Read` tool only, so Cursor's `Subagent` tool passed through with the cloud-only `cloud_base_branch: ""` (Cursor treats an empty string as "specified" and rejects the call before starting the local subagent). The cleanup now covers an allowlist of `Read` + `Subagent`; arbitrary tools are still left untouched (empty strings/arrays can be valid payloads for them). Regression guard: `tests/unit/openai-responses-subagent-strip-2446.test.ts`. (thanks @like3213934360-lab)
+- **fix(translator):** GLM 5.2 (and other OpenAI-compatible upstreams that stream a tool call's `id` and `function.name` in **separate** SSE chunks) no longer produce an empty tool name / `No such tool available:` error through the Claude `/messages` path — the `openai-to-claude` streaming translator emitted `content_block_start` immediately on the id-only chunk with an empty `name`, and the Claude SSE protocol cannot patch a block after it is emitted, so the later name-only chunk was silently dropped. It now **defers** `content_block_start` until the tool name arrives (falling back to starting the block when arguments arrive first), so the emitted `tool_use` always carries the real name. Regression guard: `tests/unit/openai-to-claude-glm-split-tool-name-2077.test.ts`. (thanks @itiwant)
+- **fix(resilience):** OmniRoute didn't respect an exhausted Ollama Cloud (or any other apikey-category provider) quota — it retried the account seconds later instead of waiting out the real reset window ([#6638](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6638)) — `shouldPreserveQuotaSignalsFor429()`/`checkFallbackError()` (`open-sse/services/accountFallback.ts`) only applied body-text quota classification (daily/monthly/weekly quota-exhausted detection) to OAuth-category providers; apikey-category 429s (Ollama Cloud, OpenAI, etc.) always fell through to the generic short rate-limit cooldown regardless of what the error body said, and `parseRetryFromErrorText()` also had no support for day-granularity reset hints ("Your quota will reset in 3 days.") — only Xh/Ym/Zs combos. An explicit quota-exhausted signal in the body (`looksLikeQuotaExhausted()`) now overrides the apikey-category default via the new `shouldPreserveQuotaSignals()` (`open-sse/services/quotaResetParsing.ts`), and `parseDayGranularityResetMs()` parses whole-day reset countdowns so the real multi-day window is honored instead of a few seconds of backoff. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6638-ollama-quota.test.ts` + 2 aligned `tests/unit/account-fallback-service.test.ts` cases that previously asserted the buggy rate_limit_exceeded/undefined-dailyQuotaExhausted behavior for apikey-provider quota text.
+- **fix(resilience):** a combo step "pinned" to one fingerprint account (mimocode/mcode/opencode multi-account providers) never actually resolved to that account, so it couldn't fail over when the pinned account was depleted ([#6696](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6696), relates #6612) — the combo builder UI encodes an account pin as a composite connectionId (`${rowId}|fp|${fingerprint}`, `src/lib/combos/builderOptions.ts`), but `expandTargetsByFingerprints()` (`open-sse/services/combo/fingerprintExpansion.ts`) looked that composite string up directly in `connectionById` (keyed by real DB row ids), got `undefined`, and passed the target through unchanged, still carrying the bogus composite id — so downstream credential resolution could never match it either. `expandTargetsByFingerprints()` now splits the `|fp|` composite id back into the real connection row id + the pinned fingerprint (new `splitFingerprintPin()` helper) before any lookup, resolving the target to the real connectionId (with the pinned fingerprint carried on the new `pinnedFingerprint` field) instead of the inert composite string. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-fingerprint-pin-6696.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** Responses passthrough emitted event-only SSE frames (no `data:` line) for every dropped commentary event, breaking the OpenAI Python SDK's `sse.json()` parser ([#6561](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6561)), follow-up to #6199/#6232 — the commentary-drop `continue;` branches in `open-sse/utils/stream.ts` skipped the `data:` line for a dropped commentary event but never cleared the already-buffered `event:` line for that same frame, so the next blank line flushed the stale `event:` line alone. Both drop sites now call `clearPendingPassthroughEvent()` before `continue`, discarding the buffered prefix along with the dropped payload; the commentary-drop decision itself was extracted into a new `open-sse/utils/responsesCommentaryDrop.ts` so the fix does not grow the frozen `stream.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/responses-commentary-event-frame-6561.test.ts` (realistic `event:\ndata:\n\n` frames — the existing #6199 test only used bare `data:` lines and never exercised this path).
+- **fix(compression):** `/api/compression/preview`'s top-level `originalTokens`/`compressedTokens` diverged from `engineBreakdown[0]`'s counts for the same single-engine run (tiktoken outer counts vs the `JSON.stringify(...).length/4` estimate per engine), worst on small inputs. A new `reconcileSingleEngineTokens()` overwrites the single-engine breakdown entry with the outer, more accurate figures; multi-step pipeline breakdowns are left untouched ([#6488](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6488)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression/preview-outer-engine-token-reconcile-6488.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** account selection could pick an account already out of quota upstream on every credentialed route except `chat`/`codex` ([#6686](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6686)) — `getProviderCredentials()` (`src/sse/services/auth.ts`) only skips a connection when a *local cache* already flags it exhausted (`isQuotaExhaustedForRequest`/`src/domain/quotaCache.ts`); it never itself calls the registered upstream `QuotaFetcher`. Only `getProviderCredentialsWithQuotaPreflight()` performs that live upstream check, and it was wired into exactly 2 call sites (`src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, `src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts`) — every other credentialed route (`rerank`, `images/generations`, `images/edits`, `audio/transcriptions|speech|translations`, `videos/generations`, `music/generations`, `ocr`, `providers/[provider]/embeddings`, `providers/[provider]/images/generations`, `web/fetch`, `moderations`, `search`) called the plain, cache-only selector, so an account whose cache entry was never populated (e.g. its first request landed on one of these routes) could be selected even at 0% quota remaining. Those 14 call sites now go through `getProviderCredentialsWithQuotaPreflight()` instead, matching chat/codex coverage. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6686-quota-preflight-coverage.test.ts` (static check that none of the routes call the plain selector anymore + a behavioral check that the preflight-aware selector blocks a 100%-used account).
+- **fix(api):** `reasoning_content` (extended-thinking text) was silently dropped from `/v1/chat/completions` SSE on the `claude-web` and `v0-vercel-web` executors ([#6662](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6662)) — every chunk builder in both adapters hardcoded `delta: { content: ... }` with no reasoning path, unlike the established pattern already used by `default.ts`/`deepseek-web.ts`/`bedrock.ts` and the real-Anthropic-API `claude-to-openai.ts` translator (`thinking_delta` → `reasoning_content`). `v0-vercel-web.ts` now forwards an upstream `delta.reasoning_content` field (streaming and non-streaming) the same way `deepseek-web.ts` does. `claude-web.ts`'s `buildClaudeStreamingResponse` now maps a `content_block_start`(`type: "thinking"`)/`content_block_delta`(`delta.thinking`) pair onto `delta.reasoning_content`, and `claude-web/payload.ts`'s `transformToClaude()` no longer hardcodes `thinking_mode: "off"` — a new `wantsExtendedThinking()` derives it from the request's `reasoning_effort`/`reasoning.effort`/`thinking.type` signal, so extended thinking can actually be requested. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6662-repro.test.ts` (RED→GREEN for both adapters).
+- **fix(api):** the compression config PUT schema now accepts `enableRenderers` for the RTK engine instead of rejecting the documented option (#6703, #6757 — thanks @alltomatos, with an independent duplicate fix from @chirag127 via #6756).
+- **fix(api):** raised the provider `apiKey` length cap for cookie-based web providers, whose session-cookie credentials legitimately exceed the previous limit (#6715, #6759 — thanks @alltomatos).
+- fix(ci): publish electron-updater `latest*.yml` manifests in electron release assets so auto-update can find them ([#6766](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6766))
+- **fix(i18n): translate hardcoded Portuguese dashboard strings to English (#6761, #6768)** (#6769 — thanks @chirag127).
+- fix(providers): strip redundant node prefix when resolving custom OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible connections by raw connection id, preventing double-namespaced model ids from 400ing upstream (#6772)
+- fix(providers): scope nvidia NIM 404s to the single failing model instead of cooling down the whole connection (#6773)
+- **fix(codex):** bump the default Codex CLI client identity from `0.142.0` to `0.144.0` for compatibility with newer Codex-backed models ([#6780](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6780)) — thanks @quanturbo
+- **fix(ci):** the blocking "Impacted unit tests (TIA)" step false-redded any PR whose impact graph reached a dashboard component — it ran every selected test under `--import tsx/esm`, but `tests/unit/dashboard/**` requires the `--import tsx` CJS transform (ESM-only deep imports like `@lobehub/icons/es/*`), exactly as the canonical `test:unit:ci:shard` already does per segment. The impacted selection is now split by segment with matching loaders (closes #6787).
+- **fix(translator):** read PDF/video `file_data` attachments on the OpenAI→Gemini/Antigravity and OpenAI→Claude paths so multimodal documents (not just images) reach the upstream — PDFs map to `document`/`inlineData` and videos keep their `video/mp4` mime instead of being dropped (#6790 — thanks @Witroch4, with an independent report/fix from @samimozcan via #6762/#6753).
+- **fix(providers): ensure DeepSeek Web SSE emits [DONE] after FINISHED** (#6791 — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch).
+- **fix(api):** the compression config `PUT` schema (`stackedPipelineStepSchema`) now accepts every `ENGINE_CATALOG` id — the structural engines `session-dedup`/`ccr`/`headroom`/`relevance`/`llmlingua`/`omniglyph` and the `aggressive` `ultra` intensity — so a `GET`→`PUT` round-trip of a stacked pipeline no longer 400s on a valid engine the discriminated union had omitted (#6747 — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch).
+- **fix(cursor):** send the Agent CLI build id as `x-cursor-client-version` so Cursor upstream accepts requests from the current CLI build instead of a stale hardcoded version (#6795 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- fix(cli): waitForServer() no longer reports ready from a raw TCP accept alone — requires a fast HTTP rejection or a real health response, so the "OmniRoute is running!" banner no longer fires 30-60s before the server can actually answer requests (#6800)
+- fix(sse): de-flake timing-sensitive combo cooldown/breaker tests + add explicit MCP audit shutdown timeout (#6803)
+- **fix(codex): strip include from compact responses requests** (#6805 — thanks @yinaoxiong).
+- fix(dashboard): surface Claude extraUsage credits in quota card when quotas is empty (#6806)
+- **Request count by provider & date**: Dashboard → Analytics now shows a dedicated table of request counts grouped by provider and calendar date (plus token totals), for providers that bill per-request rather than per-token — sortable columns and a single-date filter. New `getProviderDailyUsageRows()` query (`src/lib/db/usageAnalytics.ts`) and its own `GET /api/usage/requests-by-provider-date` route (kept separate from the frozen `/api/usage/analytics` route). Regression guard: `tests/unit/db-provider-daily-usage-4009.test.ts`. (#4009 — thanks @tjengbudi)
+- **fix(resilience):** an Ollama Cloud (or any apikey-category provider) account that hit a weekly usage cap kept getting retried every few minutes instead of backing off ([#3709](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3709)) — the upstream 429 body ("you (\<account\>) have reached your weekly usage limit") was invisible to `checkFallbackError`'s existing subscription-quota-text classifier (Issue #2321) because that branch is gated by `shouldUseQuotaSignal`, which is oauth-only, so apikey providers like `ollama-cloud` fell through to the generic exponential backoff (~1s, capped at 2min) — one account took 285x429 in 48h. A new `isWeeklyUsageLimitText`/`buildWeeklyQuotaFallback` classifier (extracted, with the existing subscription-quota logic, into a new `open-sse/services/quotaTextCooldowns.ts` module so the frozen `accountFallback.ts` didn't have to grow) runs unconditionally and applies a 24h `QUOTA_EXHAUSTED` cooldown regardless of provider category. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ollama-cloud-weekly-quota-cooldown-3709.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** an explicit `thinking.budget_tokens: 0` is now honored in the OpenAI→Gemini transform (thinking disabled) instead of being treated as unset (#6813, #6821 — thanks @alltomatos).
+- **fix(bootstrap):** filter empty `process.env` values before spawning embedded services so a blank env var no longer crashes the Docker bootstrap in a restart loop (#6828 — thanks @AndrianBalanescu).
+- **fix(providers):** classify upstream `404` responses as `MODEL_NOT_FOUND` (model lockout) instead of a retryable provider error, stopping the retry storm when a single model is missing (#6829 — thanks @AndrianBalanescu).
+- fix(mcp): de-duplicate `TOTAL_MCP_TOOL_COUNT` by tool name instead of double-counting collections (#6854)
+- **fix(usage):** xAI's exact provider-reported `cost_in_usd_ticks` no longer silently accepts `null`/`""`/negative values as a valid `$0` exact cost — `extractUsageFromResponse()` (`open-sse/handlers/usageExtractor.ts`) and `normalizeUsage()` (`open-sse/utils/usageTracking.ts`) now require `typeof value === "number" && Number.isFinite(value) && value >= 0` instead of coercing with `Number(x)`, so a malformed exact cost correctly falls back to the token-based estimate instead of masking it with a bogus `$0`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/xai-exact-cost-2453.test.ts` (rejects null/empty/negative exact costs on both call sites). ([#6856](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6856) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(plugin):** the `@omniroute/opencode-plugin` dynamic provider hook stopped embedding its OC-1.17.8+-gate-compatible `opencode-`-prefixed provider id into model routing fields (`ModelV2.id`/`providerID`, combo catalog keys) — OmniRoute's server has no `opencode-<x>` provider alias, so every dispatched model failed credential lookup with "No credentials for opencode-omniroute" (#6859).
+- fix(sse): apply cliproxyapiModelMapping at CLIProxyAPI dispatch time (#6876)
+- fix(sse): defer `response.completed` until a trailing usage-only chunk arrives on `/v1/responses` streams (#6906)
+- **fix(cli):** ship `head-response-guard.cjs` into the standalone bundle — `server-ws.mjs` imported it without a matching `EXTRA_MODULE_ENTRIES` entry, so every `build:release` dist crashed at boot with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND`; a new regression test derives the required sidecars from `server-ws.mjs` imports (#6908)
+- fix(sse): wire the shared quota-fetch throttle into DeepSeek, Bailian, OpenCode, and Crof quota fetchers, not just Codex (#6911)
+- fix(sse): rename client-sent `max_completion_tokens` to `max_tokens` for providers/models that only accept the legacy field (e.g. Volcengine Ark / DeepSeek), mirroring the existing reverse rename from #1961 (#6912)
+- fix(sse): set includeServerSideToolInvocations on Antigravity tool cloak decoys (#6914)
+- fix(sse): classify LAN embeddings providers (10/8, 192.168/16, CGNAT) as no-auth instead of forcing bearer auth (#6925)
+- fix(sse): Qwen Web executor no longer sends `[object Object]` when a message uses structured (array) content — the text parts are now flattened (#6927)
+- perf(api): relay chat-completions routes now thread the already-fetched `RelayToken` into `checkRateLimit`, skipping a redundant `SELECT * FROM relay_tokens WHERE id = ?` re-query on every request (#6930)
+- fix(sse): `normalizeCodexMessageContentPart` now rewrites explicit `type: "input_text"` (not just `type: "text"`) to `output_text` on assistant-role Codex Responses input parts, so replayed assistant history sent by codex-cli as `input_text` is no longer rejected by the Codex/OpenAI backend (#6932)
+- fix(sse): omit removed `attachments` field from Muse Spark Web (Meta AI) persisted GraphQL query to fix `Unknown type "AttachmentInput"` 502s (#6935)
+- fix(dashboard): label audio/embeddings/image compatible providers by kind instead of "Chat" on ProviderCard (#6936)
+- fix(api): model-list discovery for LAN-local OpenAI-compatible providers (e.g. LM Studio) now uses the same local-first SSRF guard as the connection test, instead of the stricter guard that always blocked LAN hosts (#6939)
+- fix(providers): `openai->gemini` transform now maps `reasoning_effort: "none"` to `thinkingConfig.thinkingBudget: 0` (with `includeThoughts: false`), giving callers an explicit, documented off-switch for Gemini thinking; the no-knob-at-all default injection (#4170) is unchanged (#6813, thanks @rafaumeu)
+- **fix(sse):** escape backslash before brackets in ChatGPT-web citation link text, preventing a citation label containing `\` from corrupting the generated Markdown link ([#6944](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6944)) — thanks @brick30llc-ctrl
+- fix(oauth): tokenHealthCheck now lowercase-normalizes `conn.provider` before checking `ROTATING_REFRESH_PROVIDERS.has()` and the GitHub Copilot sub-token refresh guard, so mixed-case provider values (e.g. "OpenAI", "Github") no longer bypass the rotating-refresh-token skip or the Copilot sub-token refresh (#6947)
+- fix(sse): make Codex Responses tool-arg normalization schema-aware — drop values equal to the tool's declared JSON Schema `default`, generalize empty-optional stripping to any tool (not just `Read`/`Subagent`) via `schema.required`, and thread each tool's schema from the request's `tools[]` into the streaming response translator (#6951)
+- fix(sse): drop internal commentary-phase Responses output in TRANSLATE-mode streams, not just PASSTHROUGH — codex/Responses-upstream routes translated into another client format (e.g. Claude Code) no longer leak duplicate prose and narrated tool-call arguments into the client text channel (#6952)
+- **fix(combos):** embeddings-only and rerank-only models (e.g. JinaAI, Gemini auto-imported, OpenRouter custom, reranker models) no longer disappear from the combo builder's model picker — the leftover chat-only `isChatCapable` gate in `addModelOption()` has been removed (#6975).
+- **fix(combos):** when 2+ distinct model ids from the same provider would render an identical display name in the combo builder picker (e.g. Mistral's `codestral-latest`/`codestral-2508` aliases sharing one upstream catalog name), each colliding entry now falls back to its own id as the display label so every row stays visually distinguishable and findable (#6957).
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **chore(release-captain):** v3.8.47 pre-flight closed every deterministic release-tip base-red ([#6967](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6967)): restored the `no-explicit-any` severity silently downgraded by #6786 (439 bulk suppressions had stopped matching), made the openadapter live-catalog test deterministic (`test.after()` was tearing the DB down mid-request), aligned the emergency-fallback and Cloud Code Gemini tests with the #6912/#6943 contracts, backfilled the #6909 i18n keys (en + pt-BR), re-exported `relayProbeStats` (db-rules), documented `OMNI_MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS`, and allowlisted migration gap 121. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **chore(security):** unbiased crypto digits for the doubao synthetic device id (CodeQL `js/biased-cryptographic-random`); 405 method-first for `/api/keys/{id}/devices` (dast-smoke); Zod-validation for `POST /api/github-skills`; the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry + catalog count alignment. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **chore(quality):** cycle-close ratchet work — cleared the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors and made `validate-release-green` suppressions-aware; cleared the 2 remaining heavy-gate reds on the release tip; cycle rebaselines (cognitive/file-size/zizmor/coverage pcts) with justification keys. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **chore(open-sse):** removed the vestigial `// @ts-nocheck` directive from `open-sse/utils/usageTracking.ts` ([#6173](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6173)) — `tsc` under the standard `typecheck:core` gate reports 0 errors for this 595-line hot-path file (executed for every provider response), so the suppression was no longer needed; removing it restores type-checking on the token-usage extraction/normalization path. (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **chore(cli):** the shell-completion cache paths (`readCache`/`refreshCache`/`writeCache`) in `bin/cli/commands/completion.mjs` no longer swallow errors into a bare `catch {}` ([#6257](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6257)) — each now binds the error and, when the new `OMNIROUTE_DEBUG_COMPLETION` env var is set, emits a `[omniroute completion]` diagnostic to `stderr`; the caches still fail silently by default so a missing/corrupt cache never breaks tab-completion. (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **chore(quality):** `validate-release-green --full-ci` reproduces the full `ci.yml` static gate set locally — the pre-flight now reads `ci.yml` itself and runs every `npm run check:*` from the `lint` / `quality-gate` / `quality-extended` / `docs-sync-strict` / `pr-test-policy` jobs (`--` ratchet flags preserved, `test-masking` against `GITHUB_BASE_REF=main`), skipping only the non-local `pr-evidence`/`codeql-ratchet`. Closes the gap where 11 static base-reds leaked to the v3.8.46 release PR in ~2h of layered CI. Also wired into `nightly-release-green` so a static base-red opens a tracking issue the night it lands. Regression guard: `tests/unit/validate-release-green.test.ts` (+5 `extractCiGates` cases).
+- **refactor(usage):** `saveRequestUsage(entry: any)` is now typed with a new `UsageEntry` interface mirroring the `usage_history` columns 1:1 (#3512) — the other stray `any`s in `src/lib/usage/usageHistory.ts` (`getUsageHistory` filter, the `getUsageDb` next-cursor cast, `appendRequestLog`'s legacy `tokens` param, `getRecentLogs`'s catch) were cleaned in the same pass, so the file now sits in the `check:any-budget:t11` zero-`any` allowlist. The DB-entity ↔ TS-interface convention is documented in `docs/architecture/CODEBASE_DOCUMENTATION.md` §11.
+- **Merge-train script** (`scripts/release/merge-train.sh`): batch-validates N queued PRs as ONE merged result on the runner box — merges every queued PR into a throwaway worktree cut from the release tip, runs the fast-gates parity suite once, and prints the `--admin` evidence block per PR (merge-gates §7). Replaces O(N²) per-PR CI re-runs in merge-storms. Regression guard: `tests/unit/merge-train-plan.test.ts`.
+- **release:** `list-uncovered-commits.mjs` now unions the CHANGELOG scan window with `changelog.d/` fragment refs (filename `<PR>-` prefix + every `#N` in the body), so a commit covered only by a fragment is no longer reported as an uncovered reconciliation gap ([#6857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6857) via [#6878](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6878))
+- chore(quality): restore no-explicit-any severity to error (silently downgraded by #6786, broke 439 bulk suppressions), fix 2 unsuppressed anys in repro-6912 test, allowlist migration gap 121, freeze-bump stream.ts/ProxyRegistryManager/tokenHealthCheck (combined-merge drift)
+- chore(base): pt-BR/en i18n keys for #6909 relay-repair/free-pool UI + align Cloud Code Gemini defaults test with the #6943 non-thinking-model contract
+- chore(base): re-export relayProbeStats from localDb (db-rules gate, #6909 follow-up) and document OMNI_MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS in .env.example/ENVIRONMENT.md (env-doc gate, #6590 follow-up)
+- **ci:** unit fast-path sharding doubled 2→4 (halves the heaviest job's wall time) (#6781); the 3 heaviest fast-path jobs can route to the self-hosted VPS runner pool behind `USE_VPS_RUNNER` (#6691); `VPS_ALWAYS_ON` keeps the dedicated 24/7 CI host up across releases (teardown becomes a no-op) (#6693).
+- **docs:** routing-strategy count reconciled to 18 across AUTO-COMBO.md, README and AGENTS.md, and `p2c` casing fixed to match `ROUTING_STRATEGY_VALUES` (#6643, #6644, #6646 — thanks @chirag127); CLAUDE.md updated with the renamed review/triage/implement skill-family names (#6663).
+- chore(release): v3.8.47 pre-flight — relocate #6943 orphan test to a collected path, restore no-explicit-any suppression match, testFrozen bump translator-openai-to-gemini (1541→1553), zizmor rebaseline 159→169
+- **docs(readme):** fix stale counts — 18 routing strategies (adds the missing `pipeline` row), 94 MCP tools, 12-factor Auto-Combo scoring.
+- **chore(ci):** fix two shared base-reds on the release tip that blocked the PR queue — register `cliproxyapi-model-mapping-dispatch.test.ts` in `stryker.conf.json` `tap.testFiles` (mutation-coverage gap left by #6903) and update `provider-models-route-codex.test.ts` to expect Codex client version `0.144.0` (stale assertion left by #6780's production bump).
+- **docs:** refresh `llm.txt` to the current project state (248 providers, 94 MCP tools / 30 scopes, 18 routing strategies, 12-factor Auto-Combo scoring, v3.8.47) and sync its 42 i18n mirrors; move the implemented design-system plan from the repo root to `docs/architecture/DESIGN_SYSTEM.md` rewritten as a reference doc.
+- **chore(security):** scrub hardcoded live-instance credentials (API key + auth cookie + host URL) from the `tests/boundary/*.live.test.ts` files landed via #6786 — they now read `OMNIROUTE_TEST_BASE` / `OMNIROUTE_TEST_BEARER` / `OMNIROUTE_TEST_COOKIE` from the environment and stay gated behind `RUN_BOUNDARY_LIVE=1`.

+## [3.8.46] — 2026-07-07
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(sse):** **hide paid-only models from `auto/*` routing** when `hidePaidModels` is on ([#6512](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6512)) — follow-up to #6328/#6495. PR #6495 hid paid-only models from the `GET /v1/models` listing, but `auto/*` combos (`auto/best-coding`, `auto/glm`, …) could still pick a paid-only backend into their candidate pool → a 402/403 at request time. `createVirtualAutoCombo` now filters the candidate pool through the new pure `open-sse/services/autoCombo/paidModelFilter.ts` (`filterPaidOnlyCandidates`), applying the same free-model predicate #6495 uses in `catalog.ts` (`providerHasFreeModels(provider) && isFreeModel(provider, {id})`) whenever `settings.hidePaidModels === true`. Applied before the category/tier/family narrowing, so it covers every `auto/*` combo; an all-paid pool degrades to the existing graceful empty-pool path. **Opt-in — default OFF leaves the pool unchanged** (identity). Regression guard: `tests/unit/autoCombo/paid-model-filter-6512.test.ts` (4, incl. the default-off identity guard).
+- **feat(sse):** **provider-family auto combos** — `auto/glm`, `auto/minimax`, `auto/mimo`, `auto/zai`, `auto/gemma`, `auto/llama`, `auto/gemini` ([#6453](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6453)) — new routable ids that materialize an on-demand virtual combo spanning whatever installed backends currently expose that model family, degrading gracefully as backends rotate. A new pure `open-sse/services/autoCombo/modelFamily.ts` (`detectModelFamily`) classifies by model-id prefix for six families; `zai` is instead resolved by provider id (z.ai's hosted API serves the same `glm-*` model ids as every other GLM backend, so `auto/zai` means "route to my z.ai backend specifically" vs `auto/glm`'s "any connected GLM backend"). Reuses the existing `createVirtualAutoCombo` on-demand materialization path (no DB writes) and the `/v1/models` catalog advertising loop. Regression guard: `tests/unit/autoCombo/provider-family-combos.test.ts` (11).
+- **feat(proxy):** native **proxy-pool round-robin / egress IP rotation** ([#6365](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6365)) — a scope (global / provider / account) can now hold **multiple** proxies as a pool with a rotation strategy, so outbound requests cycle their egress IP instead of pinning one proxy per scope. Migration `117_proxy_pool_rotation.sql` lifts the `UNIQUE(scope, scope_id)` constraint (rebuild via the canonical rename/copy/drop; existing single assignments become 1-element pools) and adds a `proxy_scope_rotation` companion table holding the per-scope strategy + a persisted monotonic round-robin cursor. Strategies: `round-robin` (default, monotonic cursor — never `Math.random`), `random`, and `sticky-per-N-min`. Resolution (`resolveProxyForScopeFromRegistry` / `resolveProxyForConnectionFromRegistry`) now fetches the alive, position-ordered candidate set (unchanged `PROXY_ALIVE_PREDICATE`) and applies the strategy; an empty / all-dead pool still returns `null` — the #6246 fail-closed guard is **untouched** (never falls through to direct egress). Backend + DB only; dashboard pool-builder UI is a follow-up. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-pool-rotation-6365.test.ts` (8, incl. fail-closed + backward-compat).
+- **feat(providers):** end-to-end **tool/function calling on the native Gemini `/v1beta` endpoint** ([#6222](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6222)) — both directions of the Gemini↔OpenAI conversion now preserve tool data (previously silently dropped). Request side: `convertGeminiToInternal` (extracted to its own testable module) maps `tools[].functionDeclarations` → OpenAI `tools`, prior `functionCall` parts → assistant `tool_calls`, and `functionResponse` parts → `tool`-role messages. Response side: `convertOpenAIResponseToGemini` emits `parts[].functionCall {name,args}` from `message.tool_calls`, and the streaming `openAIChunkToGeminiChunk` accumulates fragmented `tool_calls` deltas by index into complete `functionCall` parts. The non-Gemini client paths (Claude, OpenAI-Responses) already preserved tool calls — this closes the gap specific to the native Gemini surface. Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1beta-gemini-tool-calling-6222.test.ts` (6, incl. a streaming SSE round-trip).
+- **feat(providers):** copilot-m365-web **enterprise / work tier** support ([#6334](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6334)) — mirrors the EDU-tier pattern (#6210): `M365ConnectionParams` gains an `agent` field, a new opt-in `M365_ENTERPRISE_OVERRIDES` preset (`agent=work`, `scenario=officeweb`, `licenseType=Premium`) applies via `providerSpecificData.tier="enterprise"` (alias `"work"`), and `agent` is also overridable directly via `providerSpecificData.agent`. `buildWsUrl` was hardcoding `agent="web"` (the one enterprise-distinguishing param with no override path), so a Premium work account handshook then returned an empty stream. The individual and EDU paths are untouched. Kilo's dup flag vs #6210 (EDU tier) was a false positive — different tier. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-enterprise-6334.test.ts` (7). End-to-end confirmation on a real Premium work account is a live-VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18). (thanks @Forcerecon)
+- **feat(api):** standardized, provider-agnostic **`effort` + `thinking` request params** ([#6241](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6241)) — a thin standardization layer over the existing mature per-provider reasoning plumbing (no provider mapper touched). `providerChatCompletionSchema` gains a canonical `effort` (reusing the shared `none/low/medium/high/xhigh` vocabulary — the UI tiers `extra`/`max` collapse onto `xhigh`) and a boolean `thinking`. A pure `normalizeReasoningRequest` (wired once in `src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, before any reasoning field is read) folds them onto the fields the translators already consume (`reasoning_effort` / `reasoning.effort` / `thinking`), so they fan out to Anthropic / Gemini / xAI / Responses — an explicit client `reasoning_effort` / object-shaped `thinking` always wins (backward-compatible). `/models` additively exposes `supportsThinking` + `effort_tiers` so the frontend can render the toggles (UI component is a follow-up). Regression guard: `tests/unit/effort-thinking-standardization-6241.test.ts` (12). (thanks @Iammilansoni, @shabeer)
+- **feat(combo):** new **`pipeline` (sequential) combo strategy** ([#6297](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6297)) — the 18th routing strategy runs targets **in order**, threading each step's output into the next step's input, with an optional per-step `prompt` (system instruction); only the final step's response is returned. Distinct from `fusion` (parallel fan-out + judge). Implemented as a self-contained `open-sse/services/pipeline.ts` (sibling to `fusion.ts`), dispatched from `combo.ts`; the step list reuses `combo.models` order and reads an optional `prompt` off each target (backward-compatible — ignored by every other strategy). Intermediate steps run non-streaming with tools stripped (complete prose to thread forward); the final step keeps the client's `stream` flag + tools. A failing/empty/unparseable intermediate step fails the whole pipeline explicitly via a sanitized error (never silently swallowed). Kilo's dup flag vs #563 was a false positive (that's model→chain selection; this is a sequential chain). Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-pipeline-strategy.test.ts` (5). (thanks @ofekbetzalel)
+- **feat(ci):** `check:test-masking` now flags **inline-reimplemented prod conditions** ([#6348](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6348)) — a new **report-only** subcheck (v2, 6A.10 family) catches the wrong-shape contract test: a test that recomputes the condition under test inline instead of importing/exercising the real function (the #6216 class, where `=== 500` → `>= 500` stayed green because the test re-implemented the branch). For each added/modified test file it warns when the file textually duplicates a ≥3-token conditional from a production file touched in the same PR **and** does not import the symbol/module owning it, via a pure, fixture-tested `findReimplementedConditions()` with an allowlist mirroring `assertReductionAllowlist`. Report-only for now (does not fail the gate) — to be promoted to blocking after a triage cycle. Regression guard: `tests/unit/check-test-masking.test.ts` (45).
+- **feat(sse):** per-connection routing override (native vs CLIProxyAPI) ([#6339](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6339)) — the previously-dead `isCliproxyapiDeepModeEnabled` helper is now wired into `resolveExecutorWithProxy`: a single connection can opt itself into the CLIProxyAPI passthrough executor via `providerSpecificData.cliproxyapiMode="claude-native"`, with precedence **connection override > provider `upstream_proxy_config` mode > default**. `resolveExecutorWithProxy` now receives the resolved connection's `providerSpecificData` (threaded from `chatCore.ts`), so one connection can deep-route while the provider's other connections stay native — no DB schema change (the toggle rides in `providerSpecificData`). Also resolves the same-provider mixing ask in #6340. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chatcore-executor-proxy.test.ts` (9). (thanks @RaviTharuma)
+- **feat(dashboard):** "Add session cookie" modal now shows a prominent **"Open ‹host› →"** link to the provider's own site ([#6268](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6268)) — every `-web` cookie-session provider (chatgpt-web, claude-web, gemini-web, kimi-web, lmarena, qwen-web, m365-copilot-web, …) renders a one-click external link (opening the provider's login/home page in a new tab) so operators no longer tab away to retype the URL mid-setup. The host resolves from a pure, unit-tested `resolveWebProviderHost()` (prefers `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS[id].website`, falls back to the registry `baseUrl` origin); non-web providers render exactly as before. Kilo's dup flag vs #6265 (modal-too-small-on-1080p) was a false positive — distinct concern. Regression guard: `tests/unit/resolve-web-provider-host.test.ts` (5). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add **DigitalOcean** AI (serverless inference) as an OpenAI-compatible API-key provider ([#6373](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6373)) — base `https://inference.do-ai.run/v1`, wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/digitalocean/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/inference-hosts.ts`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/digitalocean-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @newnol)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Huancheng Public API** (`hcnsec`) as an OpenAI-compatible regional provider ([#6410](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6410)) — Xinjiang Huancheng Cybersecurity's public LLM platform (base `https://api.hcnsec.cn/v1`, free credits via daily check-ins), wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/hcnsec/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/regional.ts`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/hcnsec-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @UnrealAryan)
+- **feat(dashboard):** the web-session credential guide now shows an **"Open {host}" link** ([#6316](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6316)) to the provider's sign-in site (derived from the provider `website` via `getProviderWebsiteHost`), so you can jump straight to the page where the cookie/session must be captured. Regression guard: `tests/unit/web-session-provider-link-6316.test.ts`. (thanks @jordansilly77-stack)
+- **feat(cerebras):** add the **Gemma 4 31B** model (`gemma-4-31b`) to the Cerebras registry + pricing table ([#6331](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6331)). Regression guard extends `tests/unit/t28-model-catalog-updates.test.ts`. (thanks @backryun)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Yuanbao (web)** as a cookie-session provider ([#6196](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6196)) — `yuanbao-web` (Tencent Yuanbao, `yuanbao.tencent.com`) with cookie-only auth (`hy_user`/`hy_token` + public agent id), SSE→OpenAI translation incl. `reasoning_content`, exposing DeepSeek V3/R1 + Hunyuan / Hunyuan-T1. Regression guard: `tests/unit/providers-yuanbao-web.test.ts`. `together-web` was **deferred** (no verifiable web-session endpoint — needs a captured request) and `huggingchat-web` **dropped** (the existing `huggingchat` already is a web-cookie provider). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** route the built-in **agentrouter** through the dynamic Claude-Code wire image ([#6056](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6056)) — a small static allow-set (`CC_WIRE_IMAGE_BUILTINS` in `open-sse/services/ccWireImageBuiltins.ts`), consulted by `isClaudeCodeCompatible` / `isClaudeCodeCompatibleProvider` / `applyFingerprint`, makes agentrouter adopt the CC wire-image headers + fingerprint **while guarding the CC baseUrl/auth branches** so it keeps its own registry `baseUrl` and `x-api-key` auth. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentrouter-cc-wire-image.test.ts` (asserts the wire image is applied AND agentrouter's baseUrl/auth are preserved). Live WAF-acceptance against agentrouter.org is a VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18).
+- **feat(providers):** **bulk-add API keys for Cloudflare Workers AI** ([#6174](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6174)) — `cloudflare-ai` is removed from the bulk-add exclusion list and the bulk parser gains a 3-field `name|accountId|apiKey` mode; the bulk route now builds a **per-entry** `providerSpecificData` so each key carries its own `accountId` (fixing the previous shared-object reuse), and both the create + key-validation paths receive it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/bulk-api-key-parser-cloudflare.test.ts`. (thanks @muflifadla38)
+- **feat(dashboard):** routing/settings UX clarity ([#6147](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6147)) — (1) weighted combos show the **effective routing share %** next to each weight when weights don't sum to 100 (`WeightTotalBar.tsx`); (2) the status widget's user-facing **"Cloud Sync" label is renamed** to "Remote Settings Sync" (`CloudSyncStatus.tsx`; internal ids/state untouched); (3) built-in providers gain an **opt-in advanced base-URL override** (`isBaseUrlOverrideEligibleProvider`, hidden behind an "Advanced" toggle, reusing the existing `providerSpecificData.baseUrl` persistence — not globally widened). Regression guard: `tests/unit/routing-settings-ux-6147.test.ts`.
+- **feat(combo):** add an option to **disable session stickiness**, per-combo or globally — round-robin / random combos can rotate to a different connection on every request instead of pinning a whole conversation to one connection by its first-message hash. Resolution precedence per-combo `config.disableSessionStickiness` → global `settings.disableSessionStickiness` → default `false` (preserves the #3825 prompt-cache/504 fix); gates **both** stickiness call sites in `open-sse/services/combo.ts`. Exposed as a global toggle (Combo Defaults) and a per-combo Inherit/on/off control. ([#6168](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6168)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-disable-session-stickiness.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+- **feat(docker):** add the `OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO` env flag for root-less / user-namespaced deployments — the MITM cert-trust command path (`resolveSudoSpawn` in `src/mitm/systemCommands.ts`) now strips the leading `sudo` when the flag is truthy, in addition to the existing root / sudo-missing cases, so the Proxy Agent runs without `sudo` (the operator trusts the CA manually, e.g. via `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`). Argv-array `spawn` preserved — no shell interpolation (Hard Rule #13). ([#6122](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6122)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-systemCommands-no-sudo.test.ts`. (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Requesty** as an OpenAI-compatible gateway provider (BYOK, base `https://router.requesty.ai/v1`, ~200 free requests/day) — wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/requesty/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/gateways.ts`). ([#6120](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6120)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/requesty-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add **configured-only / available-only filters** to the Free Provider Rankings page ([#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150)) — hide providers you haven't configured, or whose connections are all rate-limited / out of quota, via server-side query params (`?configuredOnly` / `?availableOnly` on `GET /api/free-provider-rankings`) backed by a testable lib helper reusing the in-process connection state (no Redis). Both filters default off, so the default view is unchanged; this supersedes the earlier client-side "Configured Only" toggle (#6245) with an available-only dimension and unit-tested logic. Regression guard: `tests/unit/freeProviderRankings-filters.test.ts`.
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(dashboard):** adding a second API key connection for the same provider no longer silently overwrites the first — the Add-API-key modal now derives a unique default connection name (`main`, then `main-2`, `main-3`, …) so the backend name-based upsert can't collide (#6499 — thanks @dilneiss).
+- **fix(compression):** the session-dedup engine now also deduplicates a large multi-line block repeated **within a single message** (intra-message dedup), not just across turns; the compression-preview API surfaces a `fallbackReason`, and the fusion panel reports how many models were rate-limited vs failed on total-panel failure (#6501 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **fix(compression):** a stacked-pipeline step naming an unregistered engine now surfaces a `validationErrors` entry instead of silently no-op'ing, so misconfigured pipelines are visible in the preview API (#6506 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **feat(usage):** add a **Codex reset-credit redemption** flow to the Provider Limits UI ([#6361](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6361)) — a `useCodexResetCreditRedemption` hook + `/api/usage/codex-reset-credit` route + `codexResetCredits` lib let you redeem banked Codex reset credits from the quota card. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-reset-credits.test.ts`. (thanks @JxnLexn)
+- **feat(glm):** add **team-plan quota settings** for `glm-cn` connections ([#6351](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6351)) — a dedicated `GlmTeamQuotaFields` form section (team quota id / limits) threaded through the Add/Edit connection modals, persisted via `providerSpecificData`, with the GLM usage service reading the team quota. Regression guards: `tests/unit/glm-team-quota.test.ts`, `provider-specific-data-schema.test.ts`. (thanks @hao3039032)
+- **feat(providers):** add **TinyFish** web-fetch/search support ([#6349](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6349)) — a `tinyfish-fetch` executor + `/v1/web/fetch` route + MCP web-fetch tool, registered as a specialty-media provider with request-validation and a search-provider catalog entry. Regression guards: `tests/unit/executor-tinyfish-fetch.test.ts`, `web-fetch-handler.test.ts`, `mcp-web-fetch-tool.test.ts`, `provider-validation-tinyfish.test.ts`. (thanks @dtybnrj)
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute launch-codex` now spawns `codex.cmd` through a shell on Windows (the npm `.cmd` shim is unresolvable by bare `spawn` → ENOENT), mirroring the qodercli Windows fix (#6263) ([#6312](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6312)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/launch-codex-windows-spawn-6312.test.ts`. (thanks @swingtempo)
+- **fix(codex):** isolate the **Spark** quota from the shared Codex quota and stabilize the quota UI ordering / hydration so per-scope limits render consistently ([#6336](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6336)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/codex-quota-selection-hydration.test.ts`, `provider-limits-ui.test.ts` + 3 more. (thanks @xz-dev)
+- **feat(api):** add a `hidePaidModels` setting that filters paid-only models out of the `/v1/models` catalog. Regression guard: `tests/unit/models-catalog-hide-paid.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api-manager):** the fallback model picker now preserves combos instead of dropping them when a primary model is unavailable ([#6443](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6443)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api-manager-page-static.test.ts`. (thanks @jmengit)
+- **fix(providers):** recoverable Antigravity / Cloud-Code (Gemini Code Assist) `403` responses ([#6452](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6452)) are now classified as a retryable project-config error instead of a terminal account ban, so a fixable project/API-disabled 403 no longer forces a ~1-year cooldown / full OAuth reconnect. Regression guard: `tests/unit/errorclassifier-antigravity-403.test.ts`. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(mitm):** `sanitizeHeaders` now redacts `Set-Cookie` response headers so upstream session cookies never leak into logs / diagnostics ([#6451](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6451)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-sanitize-headers.test.ts`. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(api):** `/api/compression/preview` now accepts `mode: "caveman"` and correctly handles stacked / zero-compression previews ([#6425](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6425)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api/compression-preview-caveman-and-stacked-6425.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Zed** hosted LLM aggregator as a native-app provider ([#6118](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6118)) — OAuth sign-in via the Zed hosted flow, registered through the shared provider registry + executor. Regression guards: `tests/unit/zed-oauth-provider.test.ts`, `zed-import-utils.test.ts`, `zed-docker-detect.test.ts`, `mitm-handler-zed.test.ts`. VPS-validated via live operator login (Hard Rule #18).
+- **fix(oauth):** the Kiro SSO-cache auto-import now **preserves the IDC region** — cross-region Amazon Q / Kiro profiles imported from the SSO cache are no longer collapsed to the default region ([#6113](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6113)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kiro-auto-import-idc-2059.test.ts`. VPS-validated via live operator login (Hard Rule #18).
+- **fix(dashboard):** passthrough model aliases no longer collide when two namespaced model ids share a last segment (port from 9router#1850, [#6431](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6431)). `enx/gpt-5.5` and `enx/codebuddy/gpt-5.5` both auto-generated the alias `gpt-5.5`, so the second model could never be added (the UI just alerted "alias already exists"). Aliases are now disambiguated deterministically — bare last segment when free, then parent-qualified (`codebuddy-gpt-5.5`), then a numeric suffix — while re-adding the exact same model id is still blocked. Regression guard: `tests/unit/passthrough-alias-1850.test.ts`. (thanks @arpicato)
+- **fix(translator):** preserve a Gemini `functionResponse` co-located with other parts (another `functionCall`, or trailing `text`) in the same content when translating **Gemini → OpenAI** ([#6376](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6376)). `convertGeminiContent()` early-returned the tool message on the first `functionResponse` part, dropping any co-located parts; such contents are now pre-split (one tool message per `functionResponse`, emitted first, plus one message for the remaining parts). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-to-openai-function-response.test.ts`. (thanks @warelik)
+- **fix(headroom):** detect a python interpreter managed by **mise / pyenv / asdf / conda** (port from 9router#2353, [#6382](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6382)). Headroom's python probe (`src/lib/headroom/detect.ts`) searched a hardcoded `PATH`, but version managers expose their interpreters via shim dirs that only join `PATH` through interactive-shell activation — which the non-interactive server never runs, so a managed python (≥3.10) was invisible and Headroom reported it missing. The search path now prepends the well-known shim/bin dirs (`~/.local/share/mise/shims`, `~/.pyenv/shims`, `~/.asdf/shims`, `$CONDA_PREFIX/bin`, `~/.local/bin`, respecting `MISE_DATA_DIR`/`PYENV_ROOT`/`ASDF_DATA_DIR` when set), and a new `HEADROOM_PYTHON` env override lets operators point straight at their interpreter (mirroring `HEADROOM_URL`). Still shell-free (`execFileSync`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/headroom-detect.test.ts` (5). (thanks @loopyd)
+- **fix(executors):** strip the OpenAI-Codex/Claude-CLI `client_metadata` passthrough field for **NVIDIA** requests (port from 9router#1887, [#6411](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6411)). NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible wrapper rejects it with `400 Unsupported parameter`, the same class already handled for `cerebras`/`mistral`; `nvidia` (executor `default`) was missing from the strip allowlist so Codex/Claude-Code passthrough requests 400'd. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executor-default-strip-client-metadata.test.ts` (+nvidia case). (thanks @phidinhmanh)
+- **fix(translator):** strip the Claude-style `thinking` field for **NVIDIA `z-ai/glm-5.2`** (port from 9router#2023, [#6413](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6413)). NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible wrapper 400s on `thinking` (a Claude-format client routed here leaves a `thinking:{type:"adaptive"}`); the existing strip rule only dropped `reasoning`. Same class already handled for `minimax-m2.7`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-minimax-thinking-strip.test.ts` (+glm-5.2 case). (thanks @phidinhmanh)
+- **fix(translator):** suppress the streamed `</think>` close marker for the **Antigravity IDE** client (port from 9router#1061, [#6415](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6415)). On thinking-only turns Antigravity rendered a bare `</think>` as the sole visible content, tripping its loop-detection and wasting requests. Antigravity's UA (`vscode/<v> (Antigravity/<v>)`) is added to the marker-suppress allowlist (alongside OpenCode); Claude Code / Cursor still get the marker, and `x-omniroute-thinking-marker: on` force-restores it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/think-close-marker-suppress-5245.test.ts`. (thanks @abdofallah)
+- **fix(executors):** strip nested `reasoning_content` from messages for **Mistral** (port from 9router#1649, [#6417](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6417)). Mistral's API returns `422 extra_forbidden` when an assistant message carries `reasoning_content` (replayed thinking from a prior turn, e.g. via the Codex `/responses` path); the generic top-level 400 field-downgrade retry never covered the nested per-message field. `DefaultExecutor` now strips it for provider `mistral` only, so DeepSeek (which requires replayed `reasoning_content`) is unaffected. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mistral-strip-reasoning-content-1649.test.ts`. (thanks @xxy9468615)
+- **fix(executors):** strip the `client_metadata` passthrough field on the **OpenCode** path (port from 9router#1442, [#6418](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6418)). OpenCode upstreams (e.g. `kimi-k2.6` via opencode-go) reject it with `400 "Extra inputs are not permitted, field: 'client_metadata'"`; the DefaultExecutor strip only covered cerebras/mistral and `OpencodeExecutor` extends `BaseExecutor` directly, so nothing removed it there. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-strip-client-metadata-1442.test.ts`. (thanks @yanpaing007)
+- **fix(executors):** inject the `reasoning_content` echo for the native **Moonshot Kimi** provider (port from 9router#1480, [#6419](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6419)). Kimi (executor `default`) is a thinking-mode upstream that 400s with "reasoning_content must be passed back" when a prior assistant turn lacks it; the placeholder injection was only wired into the OpenCode meta-provider, so direct multi-turn Kimi conversations failed. Scoped to `kimi` (gateway-served models matching the thinking-model name pattern are unaffected). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kimi-native-reasoning-injected-1480.test.ts`. (thanks @2220258345)
+- **fix(executors):** recover from a strict gateway's `context_management: Extra inputs are not permitted` 400 (port from 9router#1468, [#6420](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6420)). **Claude Code** always sends a top-level `context_management` field; strict anthropic-compatible gateways reject it. The dedicated context-editing 400-fallback only fired when OmniRoute's own `contextEditing` feature was enabled (default off), so a client-sent field passed through untouched and 400'd. `context_management` is now in the generic reactive field-strip list, so it's stripped-and-retried once regardless of the feature flag (with correct request re-signing for claude-compatible relays). Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-field-strips.test.ts`. (thanks @ohahe52-dot)
+- **fix(network):** enable **RFC 8305 Happy Eyeballs** (`autoSelectFamily`) on the direct-egress undici dispatcher (port from 9router#1237, [#6423](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6423)). When DNS returns both IPv6 (AAAA) and IPv4 (A) and the IPv6 route is broken (e.g. a NAT64 `64:ff9b::` prefix without routing), undici tried IPv6 first and hung until `ETIMEDOUT` (then a 502 + account lockout), even though `curl` reached the same host. The direct dispatcher now races both families and uses whichever connects first. Proxy paths pin family via `proxyTls` and are unaffected. Regression guard: `tests/unit/direct-dispatcher-pipelining-4580.test.ts`. (thanks @adentdk)
+- **fix(combo):** round-robin now advances the rotation pointer past the model that **actually served**, not the eagerly-scheduled one (port from 9router#948, [#6428](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6428)). With `stickyLimit: 1` (true round-robin), when the scheduled model failed and a _different_ model served via fallback, the counter had already advanced +1 from the scheduled index — so the next request reused the fallback-served model, degrading round-robin into hot-spotting on whichever model was healthy. The pointer now advances to the served index + 1 (mirroring the sticky-limit>1 path). Session-stickiness (#3825) and distribution are preserved. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-rr-fallback-advance-948.test.ts`. (thanks @binsarjr)
+- **fix(sse):** a non-string `model` field is now rejected with a `400` before the resolver, instead of crashing downstream `.toLowerCase()`/`.split()` calls into an empty-body `500` that escapes the error sanitizer ([#6407](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6407)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/chat-non-string-model-6407.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** unknown `/api/*` routes now return a JSON `404` (instead of the dashboard HTML shell) and scalar chat params (`model`/`temperature`/etc.) are validated **before** the provider lookup so malformed requests fail fast with a clear `400` ([#6424](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6424), [#6412](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6412)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/api/api-catchall-json-404.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chat-early-schema-validation-6412.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/chat/completions` now rejects a non-JSON `Content-Type` with a `400` before parsing the body ([#6414](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6414)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-chat-completions-content-type-6414.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the `X-OmniRoute-Compression` response header is now echoed on `/v1/chat/completions` and `/v1/completions` ([#6422](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6422)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression-header-echo-6422.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** concurrent `GET /v1/models` requests are coalesced into a single catalog build ([#6408](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6408)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-models-concurrent-6408.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/completions` now echoes the requested `body.model` in its JSON + streamed responses ([#6429](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6429)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/completions-body-model-echo.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** env-var master keys now see the full `/v1/models` catalog ([#6406](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6406)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/models-catalog-envkey-6406.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** non-streaming `/v1/completions` responses now echo `body.model` aligned with the `X-OmniRoute-Model` header ([#6426](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6426)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-completions-model-header-match-6426.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** unknown `/v1/*` routes now return a JSON `404 not_found` instead of the Next.js dashboard HTML shell ([#6405](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6405)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api/v1-catchall-json-404.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the per-connection provider models route now degrades to the shipped catalog when a provider's `/models` endpoint answers with a redirect ([#6267](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6267)) — a `qwen-web` import failed with a raw `Redirect blocked … (307)` 503. `safeOutboundFetch` throws `REDIRECT_BLOCKED` on the 307, `getSafeOutboundFetchErrorStatus` maps it to 503, and `buildDiscoveryErrorFallbackResponse` treated every 503 as a hard error — so the non-empty `getModelsByProviderId("qwen-web")` catalog was never surfaced. A models-endpoint redirect is not a fixable-config error (unlike `URL_GUARD_BLOCKED`/`INVALID_URL`, which stay hard errors), so it now falls back to the local/cached catalog before the 503 short-circuit. General fix — covers any config-driven provider that 307s. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-qwen-web-redirect-6267.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the per-connection provider models route (MCP `list_models_catalog` + the dashboard import view) now merges USER-ADDED custom models into its response ([#6247](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6247)) — custom models live in the `key_value` namespace `customModels`, which the live REST `/api/v1/models` already merges, but `src/app/api/providers/[id]/models/route.ts` never read `getCustomModels`, so custom models were dropped on both the discovery-success and local_catalog paths. They are now folded into the returned model list (deduped by id, stamped `owned_by: provider`), fixing MCP + the dashboard import view in one place. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-custom-merge-6247.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo tool-calling follow-up turns no longer fail upstream with `422 {"detail":"Validation error"}` (tokens 0/0, rejected pre-inference). The #6234 tool-result-feedback fix serialized the **entire** multi-turn conversation into GitLab's single-file `code_suggestions` (`small_file`) generation endpoint — folded history that turn-N sent as an oversized `current_file.content_above_cursor` **and** duplicated verbatim into `user_instruction`, tripping the AI-Gateway's `small_file` validation guard. The executor now **bounds** that prompt: it keeps system + latest user message + the most-recent tool round (dropping older turns), caps oversized tool results, and stops duplicating the full prompt into `user_instruction` (which now carries only the short latest user message) — while still feeding the most-recent tool result back so the agent continues (`open-sse/executors/gitlab.ts`, [#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)). The unit test covers the bounding logic; the upstream 422→200 clearing is VPS-only (Hard Rule #18). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-exchange-bounded-6220.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(i18n):** the provider-detail (`/dashboard/providers/[id]`) connection-status filter labels no longer render as `__MISSING__:All` / `__MISSING__:Active` / `__MISSING__:Error` / `__MISSING__:Banned` / `__MISSING__:CreditsExhausted` in non-English locales (notably pt-BR) ([#6290](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6290)). Root cause was **not** the namespace mismatch the issue guessed — the `providers.filter*` keys resolve correctly in `en.json`; the debt lived in the locale mirrors (`src/i18n/messages/*.json`), where these five keys carried the `__MISSING__:` sync sentinel in ~15 locales and were absent entirely in ~26 others, so next-intl found the key and echoed the sentinel verbatim. All 40 non-English/-Chinese mirrors now ship real translations for the five `providers.filter*` labels. Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-provider-filter-keys-6290.test.ts`. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(providers):** the `copilot-m365-web` streaming executor now emits `debug`-level WebSocket diagnostics ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)) — the outbound WS URL (with the `access_token` **redacted** via `redactWsUrl()`), handshake success/failure, and each received SignalR frame's `type`/`target`. Previously the streaming path logged nothing, so an empty `content:null` response (the M365 Education / Starter tier symptom fixed in #6234) was undiagnosable even at `APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug`. The change is debug-level and side-effect-free — it does not alter streaming behavior or the frame parser, and the token never reaches the logs. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-web-logging-6210.test.ts` (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(resilience):** a round-robin combo no longer returns `503 all upstream accounts are unavailable` when a compatibility-rejected target is actually healthy ([#6238](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6238)). `filterTargetsByRequestCompatibility` drops request-incompatible targets (tool/vision/structured-output unsupported, or below the required context window) **before** any availability check runs, and its `compatible.length === 0` safety net only fired when _all_ targets were filtered — not when the kept targets later all turned out runtime-unavailable (circuit-open / cooldown / no credentials). So a combo could 503 while a compat-rejected-but-healthy provider sat unused. `handleRoundRobinCombo` now keeps the compat-rejected set and, when every compat-kept target was skipped without a single real attempt, probes those rejected targets as a **last-resort fallback tier** (via the new pure `open-sse/services/combo/comboCompatFallback.ts`) before crystallizing the 503. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-roundrobin-compat-fallback-6238.test.ts`. (thanks @ThongAccount)

+- **fix(startup):** best-effort self-heal for a corrupted Turbopack dev cache on Windows ([#6289](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6289)). On Windows, `pnpm dev` can fail at startup when Turbopack `mmap`s a persistent-cache SST file and the OS refuses the mapping (`os error 1455` — "paging file too small"), which Turbopack surfaces as a misleading `Module not found: Can't resolve '@/shared/utils/machine'`. This is a **known upstream Turbopack cache-corruption bug — not our code**. The dev launcher (`scripts/dev/run-next.mjs`) now wraps `nextApp.prepare()` and, when it rejects with that signature (`isTurbopackCacheCorruption` in the new `scripts/dev/turbopackCacheHeal.mjs`), purges `.build/next/**/cache/turbopack` and retries **once** with a clear log. **Caveat — best-effort only:** the corruption often surfaces as a runtime overlay rather than a `prepare()` rejection, so this cannot always intercept it; the reliable remedy remains manually deleting the Turbopack cache dir. Regression guard: `tests/unit/turbopack-cache-heal-6289.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(providers):** qodercli PAT auth no longer fails with `spawn qodercli ENOENT` on Windows ([#6263](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6263)) — `spawnQoderCli` spawned the bare `qodercli` name with `shell:false` and an unenriched env, so the npm `.cmd` wrapper under `%APPDATA%\npm` (a user-PATH directory) was never resolved. It now resolves the absolute `.cmd`/`.exe` path through the existing `getCliRuntimeStatus("qoder")` resolver in `src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts` (memoized), spawns with `shell` when the target is a `.cmd`/`.bat`, and uses the cliRuntime-enriched env (PATH + PATHEXT + APPDATA); the ENOENT error now lists the searched paths plus the `CLI_QODER_BIN` override. End-to-end spawn on a real Windows host is host-only (Hard Rule #18); the path-resolution logic is unit-tested. Regression guard: `tests/unit/qodercli-windows-resolve-6263.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(sse):** the reasoning-token buffer no longer inflates **probe-sized `max_tokens`** ([#6274](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6274)) — Claude Code's `/model` capability check sends `max_tokens: 1`, but for a thinking-capable model with a large output cap (e.g. `glm-5.2`) the #3587 headroom heuristic (`max(current + 1000, ceil(current * 1.5))`) rewrote it to `1001` and forwarded that upstream, wasting tokens on a request that was never a genuine reasoning budget. `resolveReasoningBufferedMaxTokens()` (`open-sse/services/reasoningTokenBuffer.ts`) now short-circuits and returns the caller's value verbatim when it is below the new `REASONING_BUFFER_MIN_TRIGGER` (256) threshold — a tiny explicit limit is a probe, not a reasoning request. Real budgets still receive the #3587 headroom unchanged, and the guard runs after the existing capability checks so unknown / non-reasoning models keep returning `null`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/reasoning-token-buffer-6274.test.ts`. (thanks @brightfiscalband)
+
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute reset-password` now works as a real subcommand, and password resets over piped (non-TTY) stdin actually apply ([#6261](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6261), [#6258](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6258)). Two coupled defects: (1) **#6261** — `bin/omniroute.mjs` routed everything through Commander with only two pre-Commander bypasses (`--mcp`, `reset-encrypted-columns`), so `omniroute reset-password` was rejected as an unknown command; only the separate `omniroute-reset-password` bin worked, while the docs falsely advertised the subcommand (incl. a bogus "legacy alias still works"). A pre-Commander bypass mirroring `reset-encrypted-columns` now dynamically imports `bin/reset-password.mjs` (which self-executes) before Commander parses; the three doc lines were corrected. (2) **#6258** — `bin/reset-password.mjs` issued two sequential `rl.question` prompts; under piped stdin the second read never settled at EOF, so `main()` never reached `resetManagementPassword` and the reset was a silent no-op (both prompts printed, no success, password unchanged). The CLI now detects non-TTY stdin and reads it once (first line = password, second line = confirm if present, else reused), adds a `--password-stdin` flag (entire stdin is the password, no confirmation), and exits `0` explicitly so the success line always flushes; interactive TTY behavior is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/reset-password-cli-6261-6258.test.ts` (3). (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(db):** the mass-migration **safety abort** now tells the operator how to bypass it and stops flooding the log ([#6260](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6260)) — after restoring a backup that wiped the migration tracking table, `runMigrations()` threw the abort on every downstream `ensureDbInitialized()`, re-logging the full banner 11+ times, and the message never mentioned the existing `OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS` escape hatch. The abort text now appends a bypass hint (set `OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS=0` in `server.env` / `DATA_DIR/.env`), and a new `MigrationSafetyAbortError` is memoized so repeated calls in the same process throw the same instance and emit a single concise line instead of the full cascade. Regression guard: `tests/unit/migration-safety-abort-6260.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(auth):** importing a **distinct** Codex/ChatGPT OAuth `auth.json` is no longer falsely rejected as "already exists" when it belongs to a different user in the same workspace ([#6301](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6301)). `findExistingCodexConnection` (in `src/lib/oauth/utils/codexAuthImport.ts`) deduped **only** on `providerSpecificData.workspaceId === accountId`, where `accountId` is the shared `chatgpt_account_id`/`tokens.account_id` — so two members of the same ChatGPT Team collapsed onto a single connection (409 `duplicate_account`). The id_token's `https://api.openai.com/auth` claim carries a per-user `chatgpt_user_id` alongside the workspace id (the device-flow path already persisted it as `chatgptUserId`, but the import path did not). Now `parseAndValidateCodexAuth` extracts `userId` (`chatgpt_user_id` → `user_id` → JWT `sub`) into `ParsedCodexAuth`, the create/update paths persist `chatgptUserId` in `providerSpecificData` (mirroring `codex.ts`), and dedup keys on `workspaceId` **AND** `chatgptUserId` — with a backward-compat fallback to legacy accountId-only matching when no stored connection for that workspace records a `chatgptUserId`, so genuinely-same accounts still dedup. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-auth-import-userid-dedup-6301.test.ts` (4). (thanks @anungma)
+
+- **fix(providers):** importing models for the **venice-web** provider no longer fails with a red "Provider venice-web does not support models listing" ([#6269](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6269)). `venice-web` is a web-cookie provider with an executor but no upstream `/v1/models` endpoint and no registry `models`, so the models route fell through to the tail `400`. Mirroring the `jules`/`linkup-search`/`ollama-search` fix (#5569), it now ships a static local catalog entry in `src/lib/providers/staticModels.ts` — seeding the current Venice lineup (`venice-uncensored`, `llama-3.3-70b`, `qwen3-235b`, `qwen3-4b`, `deepseek-r1-671b`; Venice rotates its catalog, see docs.venice.ai/models/overview) — so the route returns `200` with `source:"local_catalog"`, `intentional:true`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/static-models-venice-web-6269.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(api):** the specialty model catalogs (`/v1/embeddings`, `/v1/images`, `/v1/music`, `/v1/videos` model lists) are now derived from the **unified catalog filtered by a predicate** (`getSpecialtyModelsResponse`) instead of ad-hoc per-route logic, so they consistently respect active-credential visibility and stay in sync with the main catalog ([#6303](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6303)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/specialty-model-catalog-routes.test.ts`. (thanks @makcimbx)
+- **fix(api):** the agent-bridge server route now resolves the MITM manager via a **dynamic `import("@/mitm/manager.runtime")`** so Turbopack does not statically pull the stub (or over-bundle the manager), and the agent-skills generator anchors its output base path with `path.join(process.cwd(), …)` so Turbopack's static analyzer stops tracing the whole project root ([#6329](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6329), [#6366](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6366)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/agent-bridge-server-route-dynamic-import.test.ts`. (thanks @Iammilansoni)
+- **fix(api):** internal probes (combo-test, cloud-sync verify) now pick a **management-scoped / allow-all API key** instead of naively grabbing `getApiKeys()[0]` — a restricted `self:usage` first row made the probe fail with "Model X is not allowed for this API key" even when the combo path was healthy (`pickApiKeyForInternalUse` in `src/lib/db/apiKeys.ts`). The API-manager model editor also falls back to `/api/models?all=true` when `/v1/models` is catalog-protected ([#6372](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6372)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/pick-internal-api-key-6372.test.ts`. (thanks @jmengit)
+- **fix(live-ws):** the Live Dashboard WebSocket server now **rejects on bind failure** (e.g. `EADDRINUSE` when the API bridge already holds the port) instead of letting the error surface as an unhandled `error` event that crash-loops the process — the `error` listener is attached to `wss` (not `server`) and releases the EventBus subscription on a failed start ([#6324](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6324)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/live-ws-eaddrinuse-6324.test.ts`. (thanks @vinayakkulkarni)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the Home provider-topology widget now trusts the live provider-metrics snapshot — it uses `topology.errorProvider` and live `activeRequests` directly instead of re-deriving state from a stale `lastErrorAt` or applying a frontend timeout filter, so the topology reflects real-time provider health ([#6322](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6322)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/home-provider-topology-live-state.test.ts`. (thanks @xz-dev)
+- **fix(sse):** strip zero-width markers from streamed **tool-call arguments** — a follow-up to [#5857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5857). That PR removed injected zero-width joiners (U+200D) from streamed assistant text/reasoning but deliberately left tool-call argument JSON byte-exact. The request-side obfuscation (`open-sse/services/claudeCodeObfuscation.ts`) injects ZWJ into agent words — including the temp path inside the Bash tool description — and Claude models copy that verbatim into generated commands, which are delivered as tool-call arguments rather than assistant text. As a result the ZWJ survived and corrupted code blocks (e.g. a temp path rendered with an invisible joiner). Now `open-sse/handlers/responseSanitizer.ts` strips zero-width code points from tool-call argument strings at every emit site (OpenAI non-stream/stream chat `tool_calls` + legacy `function_call`, native Responses `function_call` items, the OpenAI→Responses conversion, and the native Responses streaming `response.function_call_arguments.delta/.done` events). Only zero-width code points are removed; JSON structure and all other bytes stay identical (no parse/restringify), so normal arguments remain byte-exact. Regression guard: 6 new cases in `tests/unit/response-sanitizer.test.ts` (suite 50/50).
+
+- **fix(nodejs):** the default app log path now resolves under `DATA_DIR` (`~/.omniroute/logs/application/app.log`) instead of `process.cwd()` ([#6197](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6197)) — the globally-installed CLI runs from an arbitrary working directory, so anchoring the default to cwd made file logging silently write to (or no-op under) an unrelated directory, contradicting the documented `.env.example` default. `getAppLogFilePath()` now computes the default lazily via the pure `resolveDataDir()` resolver (honours a per-process `DATA_DIR`, no directory-creation side effect); an explicit `APP_LOG_FILE_PATH` still wins. Regression guard: `tests/unit/logenv-datadir-path-6197.test.ts` (3).
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge/`startMitm` no longer aborts in containers/headless when the Antigravity-default DNS step can't write `/etc/hosts` ([#6127](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6127)), and the privileged command's stderr now reaches `app.log` instead of only a bare exit code hitting the toast ([#6198](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6198)). The default DNS step (`addDNSEntry`) was called unguarded while cert install and the two sibling DNS steps were each best-effort — in the runtime Docker image (`USER node`, no `sudo`, read-only `/etc/hosts`) it threw `Command failed with code 1` out of `startMitmInternal` and killed the whole start, discarding the stderr. The three DNS steps are extracted into a best-effort `provisionDnsEntries()` where each failure is logged with the full `err` (stderr included, folded in by `systemCommands.ts`) and never aborts the start. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-dns-graceful-degrade-6127.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** copilot-m365-web now supports the M365 Education "Starter / OfficeWebIncludedCopilot" tier and no longer returns an empty `content:null` stream ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)). Two gaps: (1) `buildWsUrl()` hardcoded the individual-consumer scenario (`OfficeWebPaidConsumerCopilot`, `isEdu=false`) — the EDU tier is now opt-in via `providerSpecificData.tier="edu"`, emitting `scenario=OfficeWebIncludedCopilot`/`isEdu=true` (the individual path is unchanged); (2) the EDU/GPT-5.5 path streams deltas via `arguments[0].writeAtCursor` (incremental) instead of only `messages[].text` (accumulated snapshots), which the parser dropped — a new `accumulateBotContent()` folds both formats, with `type:2 item.result.message` as a last-resort fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-edu-writeatcursor-6210.test.ts` (10). (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo executor now feeds tool results back into the prompt instead of looping ([#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)) — `buildPrompt()` branched only on `system`/`user` and took `userParts.at(-1)`, silently dropping the `assistant{tool_calls}` + `tool{result}` turns the client appended, so the reconstructed prompt was byte-identical to turn 1 and the model re-emitted the same `<tool>` call forever. When a tool exchange is present the full conversation is now serialized, folding each tool result back keyed by its `tool_call_id`; simple conversations keep the legacy shape. Complements the tool_call emission from [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051) (the `kilo-duplicate` label was a false positive — different, sequential defect). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-result-feedback-6220.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** opencode-go/opencode-zen can now synthesize the OpenCode CLI identity headers Cloudflare requires on VPS egress ([#5997](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5997)) — on a datacenter VPS, `opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/chat/completions` 403s (HTML challenge) requests lacking CLI identity, while the reporter's control curl proved that `User-Agent: opencode-cli/1.0.0` + `x-opencode-client: cli` + `x-opencode-project: default` + fresh request/session UUIDs succeed. Opt-in via `OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS=true` (values overridable via `OPENCODE_GO_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_CLIENT`/`OPENCODE_PROJECT`); it fills only headers the client did not already send. Kept **off by default** — the forward-only path is deliberate (fabricating a wrong value risks upstream rejection; a prior dedup regressed with `opencode/local`), so this replaces the fragile local header-injection shim without changing default behavior. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-cli-headers-synthesis-5997.test.ts` (6). (thanks @aleksesipenko)
+- fix(resilience): sticky session affinity now evicts and fails over to another account when the pinned account is exhausted/unavailable (#6219)
+
+- fix(sse): Responses API passthrough now drops internal commentary-phase output before forwarding to clients (gated by RESPONSES_PASSTHROUGH_DROP_COMMENTARY, default on) (#6199)
+
+- **fix(sse):** tool-call function schemas with a root `type: null` are now coerced to `type: "object"` before dispatch ([#6359](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6359)) — clients like the Codex app emit `parameters: { type: null, ... }` for some tools, which OpenAI-compatible upstreams reject with `400 Invalid schema for function '...': schema must be a JSON Schema of 'type: "object"', got 'type: null'`, failing the whole request. `toolSchemaSanitizer` already stripped the null; it now re-adds the mandatory root `"object"` type (and empty `properties`/open `additionalProperties` when absent). Combinator roots (`anyOf`/`oneOf`/`allOf`) and explicit root types are left untouched. Regression guard: 5 new cases in `tests/unit/tool-schema-sanitizer.test.mjs`.
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge no longer fails to start on npm/Electron/VPS installs with "MITM manager stub reached at runtime" ([#6344](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6344)) — v3.8.45 flipped the production bundler default to Turbopack, but `next.config.mjs` aliased `@/mitm/manager` to its Docker-only degraded stub **unconditionally**. That was harmless while Docker (which sets the alias intentionally for #3390 graceful degradation) was the sole Turbopack consumer, but once every artifact built with Turbopack the stub shipped to all non-Docker users and `startMitm` threw on the first Agent-Bridge start. The alias is now opt-in via `OMNIROUTE_MITM_STUB=1` (set only by the Dockerfile) through the shared `scripts/build/mitm-stub-flag.mjs` helper; default builds bundle the real manager. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-stub-alias-6344.test.mjs` (4).
+
+- **fix(proxy):** stop the v3.8.44 proxy regression that leaked the real IP and disabled healthy proxies ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Two coupled defects from the new health scheduler: (1) **IP leak** — when a proxy assigned to a connection was marked `inactive`, resolution fell through to a **direct** egress instead of blocking, exposing the operator's real IP; (2) **over-deactivation** — the sweep flipped a proxy to `inactive` on the **first** failed probe and counted our own 5s timeout / a probe-target `5xx` as the proxy's fault, so healthy paid proxies vanished from egress selection ("my proxies are not being used anymore"). Fix: the sweep decision is extracted into a pure, network-free `decideProxyHealthAction` (`src/lib/proxyHealth/decision.ts`) — by default the health check now **only counts/logs and never downgrades status** (a proxy is downgraded/removed only with `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE=true`, after `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE_AFTER` **consecutive** conclusive failures); probes are classified tri-state so an inconclusive result (our timeout, or a `5xx` from the probe target) never penalizes the proxy, and the probe timeout is raised 5s→15s. Separately, `safeResolveProxy` now **fails closed** via the existing policy: a connection whose assigned proxy is dead is blocked instead of leaking direct (`hasBlockingProxyAssignment`), honoring the explicit `proxy off` toggles and the `PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true` opt-out. Existing proxies stuck `inactive` by the old behavior need a one-time manual re-activate (the operator owns proxy status). Regression guards: `tests/unit/proxy-health-decide-action-6246.test.ts`, `tests/unit/proxy-assigned-unavailable-6246.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(proxy):** make "Test All" read-only and add bulk enable/disable ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Complements the core fail-closed / scheduler fix (#6296) with the two remaining reporter asks. (1) The **"Test All" button** (`POST /api/settings/proxies/auto-test`) used to flip a proxy to `inactive` on a failed reachability probe; since the egress selector excludes `inactive` proxies, a flaky probe (an unreachable `httpbin.org`, a proxy that blocks `HEAD`, or a slow paid proxy) silently disabled every proxy that failed — "Test All" is now **read-only by default** (only the operator sets a proxy active/inactive; opt back into the legacy test-and-set with `PROXY_HEALTH_AUTO_DEACTIVATE=true`). (2) Adds a **bulk enable/disable** proxies endpoint + toolbar action (`POST /api/settings/proxies/batch-activate`) so an operator can re-activate proxies in one click. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-health-6246.test.ts`. (thanks @tenshiak)
+
+- **chatcore (tools): stop the default 128-tool cap from silently dropping opencode's `task`/MCP tools.** opencode (used as an MCP/agent host) sends a large tool list; when it exceeds the speculative `MAX_TOOLS_LIMIT` (128) default, `truncateToolList` did a blind `tools.slice(0, 128)`, dropping every tool past index 128 — including opencode's built-in `task` tool (subagent launch) and many MCP tools, so models routed through OmniRoute could no longer spawn subagents or reach part of their tools. The cap exists to avoid upstream `400`s for providers with real hard limits (e.g. grok-cli 200), so it is kept for those: detection of the opencode client (`isOpencodeClient` — any `x-opencode-*` header, or `opencode` in the user-agent) now only bypasses the **speculative 128 default**, never a known provider ceiling. Precedence is explicit — a proactive/detected provider limit always truncates (even for opencode); otherwise opencode forwards its full tool list; otherwise the unchanged 128 default applies to every other client. Refactors `getEffectiveToolLimit` into `getKnownToolLimit(provider) ?? DEFAULT_LIMIT` (byte-identical for existing callers) and fixes a cosmetic debug-log that reported the truncated count instead of the original. Regression guard: `tests/unit/tool-limit-detector.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the macOS MITM-cert install check now matches the system keychain again. `security find-certificate -a -Z` prints the SHA-1 as a colon-less hex string, but the installed-check compared it against `getCertFingerprint()`'s colon-separated form, so the substring match never hit — the cert was reported as not-installed and re-prompted for the sudo install on every run. Fingerprints are now normalized (colons stripped, upper-cased) on both sides via the extracted `macCertOutputHasFingerprint` helper. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-cert-mac-fingerprint.test.ts`. ([#6204](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6204), closes [#6134](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6134) — thanks @rianonehub)
+
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/messages/count_tokens` now counts `tool_use`, `tool_result` and `thinking` content blocks (and array-form `system` prompts) in the local-estimation path, instead of only `text`. Real agentic conversations keep ~95% of their tokens inside tool results; the previous estimate returned near-zero for them, which silently broke Claude Code's auto-compaction (context grew past the window with no compaction until the upstream API rejected the request). The real provider-side count path is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/messages-count-tokens-route.test.ts`. ([#6221](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6221) — thanks @luweiCN)
+
+- **fix(antigravity):** strip a trailing assistant prefill turn for Vertex Claude models to avoid upstream 400s ([#6114](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6114)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-claude-prefill-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(security):** the mutable cloud-agent routes (`/api/cloud/credentials/update`, `/api/cloud/models/alias`) now require management auth instead of being treated as public. They were classified as public API routes, so a request without management credentials could update stored cloud-agent credentials and model aliases. They are removed from the public-route set, classified as management routes in the authz pipeline, and gated by `requireManagementAuth`; cloud **read**/auth routes stay public. Regression guards: `tests/unit/cloud-write-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts`, `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6233](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6233) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+
+- **refactor(dashboard):** extract the onboarding-wizard "Open provider details" link target into a pure, unit-tested `buildProviderDetailsHref(connection)` helper. The wizard already routes by `connection.id` (the node UUID) rather than the provider category slug (#6144/#6145); this hardens that behavior behind a tested helper that guards a missing id/connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-onboarding-href.test.ts`. ([#6166](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6166) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+
+- **fix(security):** the doubao synthetic device-id generator now derives its digits via an unbiased crypto-random draw (rejection sampling over `crypto.randomBytes()`) instead of a `% 10` reduction, closing a CodeQL `js/biased-cryptographic-random` finding.
+- **fix(agentSkills):** the GitHub-skills generator now resolves `outputDir` to an absolute path before writing, fixing a regression introduced by #6366 (relative-to-cwd base path) that could write generated skill files to the wrong directory.
+- **fix(security):** `/api/keys/{id}/devices` now checks the HTTP method before auth/validation, returning a `405` for non-GET/DELETE verbs instead of a misleading `401`/`500` (closes a `dast-smoke` QUERY-method finding).
+- **fix(quality):** clear the last 2 heavy quality-gate reds on the release tip (cycle pre-flight).
+- **fix(mitm):** the test suite and CI can never mutate the OS trust store — `OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1` is set globally for tests/CI so `installCert`/`uninstallCert`/`installTproxyCa` skip the privileged OS dispatch ([#6310](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6310); full detail is under the [3.8.45] section below — this branch received it via the parallel-cycle sync-back).
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/github-skills` now Zod-validates its request body; documented the new quality-gate env vars and pinned the merge-integrity GitHub Actions to a commit SHA.
+- **fix(skills):** generate the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry and align the agent-skills catalog-count tests (follow-up to #6186).
+- **fix(quality):** clear the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors and make `validate-release-green` suppressions-aware.
+- **fix(security):** proxy-pool `random` rotation now selects via `crypto.randomInt` instead of `Math.random` — silences the post-release CodeQL `js/insecure-randomness` alerts (#698/#699) that flagged `Math.random` flowing into the selected proxy's credentials. Load-balancing selection is not a secret, but the crypto source is unbiased and clears the alert at the origin (#6365 follow-up).

+- **chore(release):** ~50 commits on this branch are v3.8.45 pre-flight/hardening fixes and CI-perf work that landed here via the parallel-cycle sync-back (`sync-next-cycle.mjs`, Hard Rule #21) **after** the `v3.8.45` git tag was cut, and are already fully documented under the **[3.8.45]** section below — listed here only so the per-cycle commit-coverage check (`npm run release:uncovered`) doesn't flag them as gaps. Provider/catalog/UX/backend fixes: #6041, #6078, #6108, #6135, #6148, #6149, #6154, #6158, #6161, #6162, #6163, #6164, #6165, #6170, #6177, #6178, #6181, #6186, #6187, #6191, #6193, #6194, #6195, #6200, #6205, #6208, #6209, #6211, #6213, #6223, #6224, #6225, #6226, #6227, #6228, #6229, #6230, #6235, #6291, #6292. CI/release-pipeline work: #6167, #6203, #6214, #6215, #6218, #6273, #6275, #6283, #6284, #6285, #6300, #6305.
+- **chore(release):** additional zero-ref release-cycle plumbing on this branch, kept out of `release:uncovered` on purpose (no `#N` in the commit subject to cite): opening the v3.8.46 cycle, opening/closing the v3.8.45 cycle, the finalized [3.8.45] CHANGELOG i18n sync-back to 42 mirrors, the v3.8.45 cognitive/cyclomatic and file-size drift rebaselines, ESLint stale-suppression pruning (4,273 → 4,233), and clearing test-masking/docs-all pre-flight reds for v3.8.45.
+
+### ⚡ Performance & Infrastructure
+
+- **perf(release-green):** the pre-flight validator (`scripts/quality/validate-release-green.mjs`) now runs its 4 slow suites (unit / vitest / integration / pack-artifact) **concurrently** via `Promise.all` — pre-flight wall time drops from ~the sum of the suites to ~the slowest one (~30min saved per round; Phase 0 was the nº1 bottleneck of the v3.8.45 release benchmark, 2h54 of 6h34 e2e). Guard: `tests/unit/validate-release-green.test.ts` ("runs the slow suites CONCURRENTLY"). ([#6319](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6319))
+- **fix(ci):** `scripts/release/sync-next-cycle.mjs` — two defects found live in its first production run (v3.8.45 Phase 5): (1) the `git()` helper's default 1 MiB `maxBuffer` crashed with `ENOBUFS` on `git show origin/main:CHANGELOG.md` (the CHANGELOG alone is >1 MiB) — widened to 64 MiB; (2) the i18n resync only propagated the `[NEXT]` (TBD) section, leaving the just-shipped finalized section as "— TBD" in all 42 mirrors — it now also syncs `[prevVersion]` bounded by the heading below it (new exported pure helper `versionAfter`). Guards: +5 tests in `tests/unit/sync-next-cycle.test.ts` (8/8). ([#6327](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6327))
+- **test(ci):** concurrency-sensitive flaky tests are **quarantined into a serial pass** (`tests/unit/serial/`, `--test-concurrency=1`, appended to every unit runner incl. sharded variants — the serial pass is sharded too so concurrent shard jobs never self-collide). Initial set: `glm-coding-plan-monthly-3580`, `quota-division-blocks`, `provider-health-autopilot`, `combo-health-autopilot` — the class behind the ~28min CI wedges/re-runs (two live 1h+ wedges cancelled during this PR's own validation). Discovery + TIA gates track the new glob; systemic root cause (async logger writing after teardown) tracked in [#6360](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6360). Guard: `tests/unit/test-serial-quarantine.test.ts` (4). ([#6347](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6347))

+## [3.8.45] — 2026-07-06
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(providers):** add **Yuanbao (web)** as a cookie-session provider ([#6196](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6196)) — `yuanbao-web` (Tencent Yuanbao, `yuanbao.tencent.com`) with cookie-only auth (`hy_user`/`hy_token` + public agent id), SSE→OpenAI translation incl. `reasoning_content`, exposing DeepSeek V3/R1 + Hunyuan / Hunyuan-T1. Regression guard: `tests/unit/providers-yuanbao-web.test.ts`. `together-web` was **deferred** (no verifiable web-session endpoint — needs a captured request) and `huggingchat-web` **dropped** (the existing `huggingchat` already is a web-cookie provider). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** route the built-in **agentrouter** through the dynamic Claude-Code wire image ([#6056](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6056)) — a small static allow-set (`CC_WIRE_IMAGE_BUILTINS` in `open-sse/services/ccWireImageBuiltins.ts`), consulted by `isClaudeCodeCompatible` / `isClaudeCodeCompatibleProvider` / `applyFingerprint`, makes agentrouter adopt the CC wire-image headers + fingerprint **while guarding the CC baseUrl/auth branches** so it keeps its own registry `baseUrl` and `x-api-key` auth. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentrouter-cc-wire-image.test.ts` (asserts the wire image is applied AND agentrouter's baseUrl/auth are preserved). Live WAF-acceptance against agentrouter.org is a VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18).
+- **feat(providers):** **bulk-add API keys for Cloudflare Workers AI** ([#6174](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6174)) — `cloudflare-ai` is removed from the bulk-add exclusion list and the bulk parser gains a 3-field `name|accountId|apiKey` mode; the bulk route now builds a **per-entry** `providerSpecificData` so each key carries its own `accountId` (fixing the previous shared-object reuse), and both the create + key-validation paths receive it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/bulk-api-key-parser-cloudflare.test.ts`. (thanks @muflifadla38)
+- **feat(dashboard):** routing/settings UX clarity ([#6147](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6147)) — (1) weighted combos show the **effective routing share %** next to each weight when weights don't sum to 100 (`WeightTotalBar.tsx`); (2) the status widget's user-facing **"Cloud Sync" label is renamed** to "Remote Settings Sync" (`CloudSyncStatus.tsx`; internal ids/state untouched); (3) built-in providers gain an **opt-in advanced base-URL override** (`isBaseUrlOverrideEligibleProvider`, hidden behind an "Advanced" toggle, reusing the existing `providerSpecificData.baseUrl` persistence — not globally widened). Regression guard: `tests/unit/routing-settings-ux-6147.test.ts`.
+- **feat(combo):** add an option to **disable session stickiness**, per-combo or globally — round-robin / random combos can rotate to a different connection on every request instead of pinning a whole conversation to one connection by its first-message hash. Resolution precedence per-combo `config.disableSessionStickiness` → global `settings.disableSessionStickiness` → default `false` (preserves the #3825 prompt-cache/504 fix); gates **both** stickiness call sites in `open-sse/services/combo.ts`. Exposed as a global toggle (Combo Defaults) and a per-combo Inherit/on/off control. ([#6168](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6168)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-disable-session-stickiness.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+- **feat(docker):** add the `OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO` env flag for root-less / user-namespaced deployments — the MITM cert-trust command path (`resolveSudoSpawn` in `src/mitm/systemCommands.ts`) now strips the leading `sudo` when the flag is truthy, in addition to the existing root / sudo-missing cases, so the Proxy Agent runs without `sudo` (the operator trusts the CA manually, e.g. via `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`). Argv-array `spawn` preserved — no shell interpolation (Hard Rule #13). ([#6122](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6122)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-systemCommands-no-sudo.test.ts`. (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Requesty** as an OpenAI-compatible gateway provider (BYOK, base `https://router.requesty.ai/v1`, ~200 free requests/day) — wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/requesty/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/gateways.ts`). ([#6120](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6120)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/requesty-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add **configured-only / available-only filters** to the Free Provider Rankings page ([#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150)) — hide providers you haven't configured, or whose connections are all rate-limited / out of quota, via server-side query params (`?configuredOnly` / `?availableOnly` on `GET /api/free-provider-rankings`) backed by a testable lib helper reusing the in-process connection state (no Redis). Both filters default off, so the default view is unchanged; this supersedes the earlier client-side "Configured Only" toggle (#6245) with an available-only dimension and unit-tested logic. Regression guard: `tests/unit/freeProviderRankings-filters.test.ts`.
+- **feat(rankings):** add a **'Configured Only'** filter to the Free Provider Rankings page, so the table can be narrowed to just the providers you have configured connections for (with an empty-state hint when none are configured). New `en.json` keys and a pure filter helper covered by `tests/unit/free-provider-rankings-configured-filter.test.ts`. ([#6245](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6245), closes [#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150) — thanks @Iammilansoni)
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the test suite and CI can never mutate the OS trust store again — `OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1` (set by the global test setup and all CI workflows) makes `installCert`/`uninstallCert`/`installTproxyCa` skip the privileged OS dispatch while preserving the #4546 environment-skip contract. Root cause of the self-hosted runner incident: a cert-flow integration test installed a 105-byte fake PEM into `/usr/local/share/ca-certificates`, breaking ALL system TLS on the VM. Regression guard: `tests/unit/system-trust-test-guard.test.ts`. ([#6310](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6310))
+- **fix(security):** `/api/keys/{id}/devices` answers a clean method-first **405** for undocumented HTTP methods (e.g. the new `QUERY`) via a dedicated `http-method-guard` rule — the auth layer was answering 401 first, failing schemathesis's unsupported-methods check. Same pattern as the v3.8.44 TRACE fix. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dast-method-not-allowed.test.ts`.
+- **fix(combo):** the #6216 empty-stream failover is restricted to **truly empty bodies** (zero bytes — the Gemini HTTP-200-empty case), restoring the #3399/#3685 pass-through contracts for `[DONE]`-terminated empty streams and incomplete Claude lifecycles. New guard: `#5976 truly EMPTY streaming body → invalid for combo failover` (87/87 across both suites).
+- **fix(combo):** 5 streaming-path fixes — locked-stream 500, error-frame-only-if-no-content, Gemini `MALFORMED_RESPONSE`→content_filter failover, correlationId substring search, per-model-500 lockout skip + request-logger UI detail. Maintainer follow-up: `releaseQualityClone` cancels the abandoned quality-check tee branch (per-request memory) + regression test. ([#6216](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6216) — thanks @hartmark)
+- **fix(skills):** generate the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry (the #6186 catalog addition never ran the generator — 8 integration assertions split between old/new counts) and align the agent-skills catalog counts across integration + unit suites (43 = 23 API + 20 CLI; 44 with config).
+- **fix(a2a):** finish the #6186 catalog-count update — `listCapabilities` metadata reported `coverage.api.total: 22` (type literal + value) and `SkillCoverageSchema` pinned `z.literal(22)`, so the schema would REJECT the correct runtime value with 23 API skills. All three aligned to 23.
+- **fix(github-skills):** add a missing import, unit tests and a settings JSON-parse fix for the GitHub agent-skill discovery/import flow. ([#6186](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6186) — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/github-skills` validates its body with a Zod schema (`validateBody`) instead of blind `request.json()` destructuring — a non-array `targets` would crash `.map`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/github-skills-route-validation.test.ts`.
+- **fix(docker):** add `id=` to the BuildKit cache mounts so strict builders (e.g. buildkitd with strict frontend parsing) accept the Dockerfile. ([#6291](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6291) — thanks @karimalsalah)
+- **fix(oauth):** register `zed` in the OAuth `PROVIDERS` map (fixes "Unknown provider" on the Zed sign-in flow) ([#6078](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6078) — thanks @anki1kr), and align `zed` in `OAUTH_PROVIDER_IDS` + the config enum after the merge.
+- **fix(doubao-web):** switch the Doubao web provider to the Dola global endpoint. ([#6235](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6235) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(doctor):** resolve two false-positive WARNs in the doctor diagnostics ([#6163](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6163), closes [#6162](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6162) — thanks @arssnndr)
+- **fix(providers):** refresh the GitHub Copilot model catalog to the current upstream set. ([#6154](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6154) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(providers):** correct the Kiro model catalog to real upstream ids — fabricated `claude-opus-4.7`/`claude-sonnet-4.6` entries removed, real `claude-sonnet-5`/`claude-sonnet-4.5`/`claude-haiku-4.5` kept. ([#6170](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6170))
+- **feat(sse):** surface Kiro adaptive-thinking reasoning frames as `reasoning_content` in the OpenAI-shaped stream. ([#6213](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6213) — thanks @VXNCXNX)
+- **fix(cli):** use `OMNIROUTE_SERVER_HOST` instead of the POSIX auto-set `HOSTNAME` for the bind address (fixes wrong bind on POSIX shells that export HOSTNAME). ([#6195](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6195), closes [#6194](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6194) — thanks @Theadd)
+- **feat(provider):** add Claude 5 Sonnet to the Claude Web provider catalog. ([#6209](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6209), closes [#6200](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6200) — thanks @Iammilansoni)
+- **fix(providers):** add `nvidia` to `PROVIDER_TOOL_LIMITS` (1536) to prevent silent tool-list truncation. ([#6177](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6177) — thanks @LuisAlejandroVega)
+- **fix(translator):** strip the `reasoning` param for nvidia `z-ai/glm-5.2` (upstream 400s on it). ([#6181](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6181) — thanks @kanztu)
+- **fix(dashboard):** providers page gains a data-timeout guard and the live-WS standalone wiring (no more indefinite spinner when the data fetch stalls). ([#6211](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6211))
+- **fix(sse):** surface the ChatGPT-web image silent-drop as an accurate error instead of an empty success. ([#6208](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6208))
+- **fix(cline):** force upstream streaming for Cline/ClinePass (streaming-only API) — non-stream client requests are served from the buffered SSE. ([#6165](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6165))
+- **fix(dashboard):** remove the always-on Auto-Routing (combo) banner from the home page — it did not reflect live routing state and reappeared on every fresh browser. Replacement guard: `tests/unit/home-no-autorouting-banner.test.ts`. ([#6164](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6164))
+- **fix(dashboard):** stop a model-test error from freezing the page (React #31 object-as-child toast) — errors go through `extractApiErrorMessage`. ([#6161](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6161))
+- **fix(oauth):** extract the keychain-import-only guard to its own module, restoring the oauth file-size freeze. ([#6158](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6158))
+
+- **fix(sse):** strip zero-width markers from streamed **tool-call arguments** — a follow-up to [#5857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5857). That PR removed injected zero-width joiners (U+200D) from streamed assistant text/reasoning but deliberately left tool-call argument JSON byte-exact. The request-side obfuscation (`open-sse/services/claudeCodeObfuscation.ts`) injects ZWJ into agent words — including the temp path inside the Bash tool description — and Claude models copy that verbatim into generated commands, which are delivered as tool-call arguments rather than assistant text. As a result the ZWJ survived and corrupted code blocks (e.g. a temp path rendered with an invisible joiner). Now `open-sse/handlers/responseSanitizer.ts` strips zero-width code points from tool-call argument strings at every emit site (OpenAI non-stream/stream chat `tool_calls` + legacy `function_call`, native Responses `function_call` items, the OpenAI→Responses conversion, and the native Responses streaming `response.function_call_arguments.delta/.done` events). Only zero-width code points are removed; JSON structure and all other bytes stay identical (no parse/restringify), so normal arguments remain byte-exact. Regression guard: 6 new cases in `tests/unit/response-sanitizer.test.ts` (suite 50/50).

+- **fix(nodejs):** the default app log path now resolves under `DATA_DIR` (`~/.omniroute/logs/application/app.log`) instead of `process.cwd()` ([#6197](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6197)) — the globally-installed CLI runs from an arbitrary working directory, so anchoring the default to cwd made file logging silently write to (or no-op under) an unrelated directory, contradicting the documented `.env.example` default. `getAppLogFilePath()` now computes the default lazily via the pure `resolveDataDir()` resolver (honours a per-process `DATA_DIR`, no directory-creation side effect); an explicit `APP_LOG_FILE_PATH` still wins. Regression guard: `tests/unit/logenv-datadir-path-6197.test.ts` (3). (root cause independently diagnosed by @subhansh-dev in [#6298](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6298) — thanks!)
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge/`startMitm` no longer aborts in containers/headless when the Antigravity-default DNS step can't write `/etc/hosts` ([#6127](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6127)), and the privileged command's stderr now reaches `app.log` instead of only a bare exit code hitting the toast ([#6198](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6198)). The default DNS step (`addDNSEntry`) was called unguarded while cert install and the two sibling DNS steps were each best-effort — in the runtime Docker image (`USER node`, no `sudo`, read-only `/etc/hosts`) it threw `Command failed with code 1` out of `startMitmInternal` and killed the whole start, discarding the stderr. The three DNS steps are extracted into a best-effort `provisionDnsEntries()` where each failure is logged with the full `err` (stderr included, folded in by `systemCommands.ts`) and never aborts the start. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-dns-graceful-degrade-6127.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** copilot-m365-web now supports the M365 Education "Starter / OfficeWebIncludedCopilot" tier and no longer returns an empty `content:null` stream ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)). Two gaps: (1) `buildWsUrl()` hardcoded the individual-consumer scenario (`OfficeWebPaidConsumerCopilot`, `isEdu=false`) — the EDU tier is now opt-in via `providerSpecificData.tier="edu"`, emitting `scenario=OfficeWebIncludedCopilot`/`isEdu=true` (the individual path is unchanged); (2) the EDU/GPT-5.5 path streams deltas via `arguments[0].writeAtCursor` (incremental) instead of only `messages[].text` (accumulated snapshots), which the parser dropped — a new `accumulateBotContent()` folds both formats, with `type:2 item.result.message` as a last-resort fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-edu-writeatcursor-6210.test.ts` (10). (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo executor now feeds tool results back into the prompt instead of looping ([#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)) — `buildPrompt()` branched only on `system`/`user` and took `userParts.at(-1)`, silently dropping the `assistant{tool_calls}` + `tool{result}` turns the client appended, so the reconstructed prompt was byte-identical to turn 1 and the model re-emitted the same `<tool>` call forever. When a tool exchange is present the full conversation is now serialized, folding each tool result back keyed by its `tool_call_id`; simple conversations keep the legacy shape. Complements the tool_call emission from [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051) (the `kilo-duplicate` label was a false positive — different, sequential defect). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-result-feedback-6220.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** opencode-go/opencode-zen can now synthesize the OpenCode CLI identity headers Cloudflare requires on VPS egress ([#5997](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5997)) — on a datacenter VPS, `opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/chat/completions` 403s (HTML challenge) requests lacking CLI identity, while the reporter's control curl proved that `User-Agent: opencode-cli/1.0.0` + `x-opencode-client: cli` + `x-opencode-project: default` + fresh request/session UUIDs succeed. Opt-in via `OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS=true` (values overridable via `OPENCODE_GO_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_CLIENT`/`OPENCODE_PROJECT`); it fills only headers the client did not already send. Kept **off by default** — the forward-only path is deliberate (fabricating a wrong value risks upstream rejection; a prior dedup regressed with `opencode/local`), so this replaces the fragile local header-injection shim without changing default behavior. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-cli-headers-synthesis-5997.test.ts` (6). (thanks @aleksesipenko)
+- fix(resilience): sticky session affinity now evicts and fails over to another account when the pinned account is exhausted/unavailable (#6219)
+
+- fix(sse): Responses API passthrough now drops internal commentary-phase output before forwarding to clients (gated by RESPONSES_PASSTHROUGH_DROP_COMMENTARY, default on) (#6199)
+
+- **fix(proxy):** stop the v3.8.44 proxy regression that leaked the real IP and disabled healthy proxies ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Two coupled defects from the new health scheduler: (1) **IP leak** — when a proxy assigned to a connection was marked `inactive`, resolution fell through to a **direct** egress instead of blocking, exposing the operator's real IP; (2) **over-deactivation** — the sweep flipped a proxy to `inactive` on the **first** failed probe and counted our own 5s timeout / a probe-target `5xx` as the proxy's fault, so healthy paid proxies vanished from egress selection ("my proxies are not being used anymore"). Fix: the sweep decision is extracted into a pure, network-free `decideProxyHealthAction` (`src/lib/proxyHealth/decision.ts`) — by default the health check now **only counts/logs and never downgrades status** (a proxy is downgraded/removed only with `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE=true`, after `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE_AFTER` **consecutive** conclusive failures); probes are classified tri-state so an inconclusive result (our timeout, or a `5xx` from the probe target) never penalizes the proxy, and the probe timeout is raised 5s→15s. Separately, `safeResolveProxy` now **fails closed** via the existing policy: a connection whose assigned proxy is dead is blocked instead of leaking direct (`hasBlockingProxyAssignment`), honoring the explicit `proxy off` toggles and the `PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true` opt-out. Existing proxies stuck `inactive` by the old behavior need a one-time manual re-activate (the operator owns proxy status). Regression guards: `tests/unit/proxy-health-decide-action-6246.test.ts`, `tests/unit/proxy-assigned-unavailable-6246.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(proxy):** make "Test All" read-only and add bulk enable/disable ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Complements the core fail-closed / scheduler fix (#6296) with the two remaining reporter asks. (1) The **"Test All" button** (`POST /api/settings/proxies/auto-test`) used to flip a proxy to `inactive` on a failed reachability probe; since the egress selector excludes `inactive` proxies, a flaky probe (an unreachable `httpbin.org`, a proxy that blocks `HEAD`, or a slow paid proxy) silently disabled every proxy that failed — "Test All" is now **read-only by default** (only the operator sets a proxy active/inactive; opt back into the legacy test-and-set with `PROXY_HEALTH_AUTO_DEACTIVATE=true`). (2) Adds a **bulk enable/disable** proxies endpoint + toolbar action (`POST /api/settings/proxies/batch-activate`) so an operator can re-activate proxies in one click. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-health-6246.test.ts`. (thanks @tenshiak)
+
+- **chatcore (tools): stop the default 128-tool cap from silently dropping opencode's `task`/MCP tools.** opencode (used as an MCP/agent host) sends a large tool list; when it exceeds the speculative `MAX_TOOLS_LIMIT` (128) default, `truncateToolList` did a blind `tools.slice(0, 128)`, dropping every tool past index 128 — including opencode's built-in `task` tool (subagent launch) and many MCP tools, so models routed through OmniRoute could no longer spawn subagents or reach part of their tools. The cap exists to avoid upstream `400`s for providers with real hard limits (e.g. grok-cli 200), so it is kept for those: detection of the opencode client (`isOpencodeClient` — any `x-opencode-*` header, or `opencode` in the user-agent) now only bypasses the **speculative 128 default**, never a known provider ceiling. Precedence is explicit — a proactive/detected provider limit always truncates (even for opencode); otherwise opencode forwards its full tool list; otherwise the unchanged 128 default applies to every other client. Refactors `getEffectiveToolLimit` into `getKnownToolLimit(provider) ?? DEFAULT_LIMIT` (byte-identical for existing callers) and fixes a cosmetic debug-log that reported the truncated count instead of the original. Regression guard: `tests/unit/tool-limit-detector.test.ts`. ([#6193](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6193) — thanks @DKotsyuba)
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the macOS MITM-cert install check now matches the system keychain again. `security find-certificate -a -Z` prints the SHA-1 as a colon-less hex string, but the installed-check compared it against `getCertFingerprint()`'s colon-separated form, so the substring match never hit — the cert was reported as not-installed and re-prompted for the sudo install on every run. Fingerprints are now normalized (colons stripped, upper-cased) on both sides via the extracted `macCertOutputHasFingerprint` helper. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-cert-mac-fingerprint.test.ts`. ([#6204](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6204), closes [#6134](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6134) — thanks @rianonehub)
+
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/messages/count_tokens` now counts `tool_use`, `tool_result` and `thinking` content blocks (and array-form `system` prompts) in the local-estimation path, instead of only `text`. Real agentic conversations keep ~95% of their tokens inside tool results; the previous estimate returned near-zero for them, which silently broke Claude Code's auto-compaction (context grew past the window with no compaction until the upstream API rejected the request). The real provider-side count path is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/messages-count-tokens-route.test.ts`. ([#6221](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6221) — thanks @luweiCN)
+
+- **fix(antigravity):** strip a trailing assistant prefill turn for Vertex Claude models to avoid upstream 400s ([#6114](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6114)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-claude-prefill-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(security):** the mutable cloud-agent routes (`/api/cloud/credentials/update`, `/api/cloud/models/alias`) now require management auth instead of being treated as public. They were classified as public API routes, so a request without management credentials could update stored cloud-agent credentials and model aliases. They are removed from the public-route set, classified as management routes in the authz pipeline, and gated by `requireManagementAuth`; cloud **read**/auth routes stay public. Regression guards: `tests/unit/cloud-write-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts`, `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6233](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6233) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+
+- **refactor(dashboard):** extract the onboarding-wizard "Open provider details" link target into a pure, unit-tested `buildProviderDetailsHref(connection)` helper. The wizard already routes by `connection.id` (the node UUID) rather than the provider category slug (#6144/#6145); this hardens that behavior behind a tested helper that guards a missing id/connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-onboarding-href.test.ts`. ([#6166](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6166) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(api):** relay worker now binds the SSRF guard to a stable `const` name so minified standalone (Docker) builds resolve it ([#6149](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6149)) — the Vercel/Deno relay generators embedded the shared `resolveRelayTarget` guard as a bare `${fn.toString()}` declaration while the worker body called the hardcoded literal name; SWC minification mangled the source function's name, so the deployed worker defined `<mangled>` but still called `resolveRelayTarget` → `ReferenceError`. Both templates now emit `const resolveRelayTarget = ${fn.toString()};` (the const name is a template literal, immune to minification). Regression guard: `tests/unit/relay-minified-fn-6149.test.ts` (4). (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **fix(providers):** refresh the stale NVIDIA NIM model registry — drop EOL `z-ai/glm-5.1`, add `z-ai/glm-5.2` and `nvidia/nemotron-3-ultra-550b-a55b` ([#6108](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6108)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-nim-registry-6108.test.ts`. (thanks @andrea-kingautomation)
+- **fix(backend):** GPT-family (codex) models now report a distinct `max_input_tokens` (272000) below their 400K `context_length` via an optional `maxInputTokens` on `RegistryModel`, so coding agents auto-compact correctly instead of overflowing the real input cap ([#6191](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6191)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gpt-max-input-tokens-6191.test.ts`. (thanks @luweiCN)
+- **fix(backend):** call logs now record a **reasoning source/char-count** (migration 116, `reasoning_source`/`reasoning_chars`) for models that emit `reasoning_content`/`<think>` but report zero reasoning tokens in usage, so `tokens_reasoning` no longer silently under-represents reasoning — cost math is unchanged (the priced `tokens_reasoning` stays usage-derived) ([#6187](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6187)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/reasoning-token-source-6187.test.ts`. (thanks @andrea-kingautomation)
+- **fix(auth):** a stale/changed `STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY` now surfaces as a clear **424 `storage_encryption_stale`** ("re-enter the API key") instead of a misleading "Auth failed: 401" — the connection's ciphertext failed to decrypt and was coerced to an empty Bearer, hiding the real cause ([#6148](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6148)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/decrypt-stale-key-hint-6148.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(backend):** memory injection now keeps the injected system message **first** for providers that require it (via a `PROVIDERS_SYSTEM_MUST_BE_FIRST` capability), instead of the cache-safe mid-array splice that made strict providers reject the request with a 400 ([#6135](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6135)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/memory-system-first-6135.test.ts`.
+- **fix(services):** 9Router embed panel no longer 404s (optional catch-all route) and the supervisor probes the port before spawning to avoid raw EADDRINUSE ([#6205](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6205)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/ninerouter-embed-port-6205.test.ts`, `tests/unit/services/ServiceSupervisor.test.ts`. (thanks @jonlwheat2-gif)
+- fix(mcp): forward the MCP request `extra` context through static tool loops so stdio callers keep their scope/identity ([#6178](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6178))
+
+### ⚡ Performance & Infrastructure
+
+- **perf(test):** test-suite loader quick wins ([#6214](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6214)) — the 19 test scripts switch `--import tsx` → `--import tsx/esm` (the repo is pure ESM; the unused CJS hook cost ~1.3s per test process × 2,462 processes — CI fast-path unit shards dropped 14.8→7.5 min, −49%), tsx bumped to ^4.23.0 (tsx#809 startup-regression fix), **37 orphan `.test.mjs` files (224 cases) recovered** into the canonical glob (they matched no runner and never ran in any CI job; `check:test-discovery` now scans `.mjs` too), and ci.yml/quality.yml unit jobs now call the canonical npm script `test:unit:ci:shard` (single source of truth — closes two silent drifts: missing `setupPolyfill` import in CI and `memory/`+`usage/` dirs absent from the fast-path glob). `tests/unit/dashboard/**` keeps the full tsx hook in its own invocation (`@lobehub/icons` es/ build internally `require()`s ESM-syntax files).
+- **ci:** heavy-pipeline dedup ([#6215](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6215)) — the release-PR pipeline ran the unit suite 4× per sync (95 jobs, 208 machine-min; the v3.8.44 cycle fired 123 such runs, 88 cancelled). Now: Node 24/26 compat matrices move to a daily `nightly-compat.yml` (−28%/run; resolves the active release branch, opens a tracking issue on failure), coverage is collected inside the unit shards themselves via c8/`NODE_V8_COVERAGE` (−18%/run; the Coverage Shard ×8 matrix is gone — nodejs/node's own CI pattern), the ~40-job per-language i18n matrix becomes 1 job (the account has 20 concurrent-job slots total), and heavy jobs skip **draft** PRs — paired with `/generate-release` now opening the living release PR as draft (flipped ready at the new Phase 0a.0a), killing the per-merge churn for the whole cycle. Validated by a full `workflow_dispatch` of the new pipeline: 35 jobs, 0 failures, 23 min, merged coverage 80.16% (> ratchet baseline).
+- **feat(quality):** no-new-warnings per PR ([#6218](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6218)) — native ESLint bulk suppressions (≥9.24) freeze the pre-existing debt (476 files / 4,273 violations in `config/quality/eslint-suppressions.json`); `npm run lint`, lint-staged (pre-commit) and a new fork-aware `lint-guard` job in quality.yml all run suppressions-aware, so a NEW warning goes red in the PR that introduces it instead of accruing invisibly (+41/+88 per cycle) and being blind-rebaselined at release. 3 warn rules promoted to error in `src/**` (`react-hooks/exhaustive-deps`, `@next/next/no-img-element`, `import/no-anonymous-default-export`); `collect-metrics` measures under the frozen baseline (ratchet metric = net-NEW debt; baseline tightened 4,279→0 in-PR per require-tighten); fork PRs run report-only (contributors are never blocked — the maintainer campaigns fix via co-authorship). Baseline stock shrinks via `--prune-suppressions` at release reconciliation.
+- **ci:** test jobs no longer wait on the Build gate ([#6275](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6275)) — `test-unit`×8, `vitest`, `integration`×2 and `security` declared `needs: build` but never download the `next-build` artifact; they now start at minute 0 (`needs: changes`, same `if` as Build), cutting ~15–20 min of wall-clock per heavy run. `e2e`/`package-artifact`/`electron-smoke` keep `needs: build` (they consume the artifact for real).
+- **ci(build):** the ci.yml Build job compiles Next.js with **Turbopack** (`OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=1`) ([#6273](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6273)) — Build job 20 min → **6 min 59 s (~2.9×)** on ubuntu-latest; the webpack `actions/cache` step is removed. Validated end-to-end pre-merge via `gh workflow run ci.yml --ref <branch>`.
+- **feat(build):** **Turbopack becomes the default bundler** for `next build` and `next dev` ([#6283](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6283)) — `build-next-isolated.mjs`, `run-next.mjs` and the playwright-runner default to Turbopack; `OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=0` is the explicit webpack escape hatch. `nightly-compat.yml`/`npm-publish.yml` inherit the default. Regression guard: `tests/unit/build-bundler-default-turbopack.test.ts`.
+- **feat(docker):** the Docker image builds with Turbopack (`ENV OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=1`) ([#6285](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6285)) — the v3.8.27 ImportTracer panic ("unreachable: there must be a path to a root") does **not** reproduce on Next 16.2.9: amd64 (659 s) and arm64 (qemu) build clean, 0 panics, smoke health 200.
+- **ci:** opt-in **self-hosted VPS runners for the release window** ([#6284](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6284)) — `scripts/vps/release-runner-up.sh`/`down.sh` manage the runner VM, and `build`/`test-unit`/`vitest` pick a dynamic `runs-on` gated by `vars.USE_VPS_RUNNER == 'true'` **and** own-origin (fork PRs never reach self-hosted runners). Wired into `/generate-release` (VM up at Phase 1, mandatory down at Phase 3).
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **quality(release-green):** full pre-flight hardening for this release — the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors typed/fixed and `validate-release-green` made suppressions-aware with per-gate logs (`_artifacts/release-green/`) and a `--hermetic` mode; test-masking allowlist entries for the cycle's verified-legitimate assert reductions; stale ESLint suppressions pruned (4,273 → 4,233); the 7 net-new `as any` casts from #6292 typed; `githubSkillTools` MCP errors routed through `sanitizeErrorMessage()`; `combo-provider-cooldown-sibling` added to the Stryker tap set; executors/env docs count fixes.
+- **ci(quality):** merge-integrity fast-gates per PR — `check:changelog-integrity` (no base CHANGELOG bullet may vanish in the merge result — the auto-resolve "CHANGELOG-eat" pattern) and `check:agent-skills-sync` (generated SKILL.md ≡ catalog), blocking for own-origin branches and report-only for forks (Princípio Zero). ([#6300](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6300))
+- **ci(vps):** hermetic `nightly-release-green` pre-flight on the dedicated `omni-release` self-hosted runner (dynamic `runs-on`, clean env); e2e/integration/electron stay on hosted runners (per-VM port collision + concurrent artifact-download limits documented in the PR). ([#6305](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6305))
+- **chore(quality):** v3.8.45 cycle-close drift rebaselines — file-size (13 files grown by merged cycle PRs), cognitive 867→877, cyclomatic 2028→2035, kiro-translator test debt from #6213; all with dated justification keys.
+- **docs(architecture):** sync stale DB-layer counts (45+/55 → 95+/110+) in REPOSITORY_MAP, the db-schema diagram and llm.txt (+42 i18n mirrors). ([#6167](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6167))
+- **chore(release):** parallel-cycle flow — `sync-next-cycle.mjs` + Hard Rule #21 semantics ([#6203](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6203)); v3.8.45 development cycle opened.
+- **i18n(it):** add 118 missing Italian (`it`) translations (net-additive — no existing keys dropped, valid JSON), improving Italian UI coverage. ([#6212](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6212) — thanks @serverless83)
+- **chore(providers):** remove deprecated **MiMo V2** model entries from the catalogs (xiaomi-mimo, opencode-go, zenmux-free, audio TTS) — the upstream V2 line is superseded by MiMo V2.5; drops `mimo-v2-tts`, `mimo-v2-pro`, `mimo-v2-omni`, `mimo-v2-flash`, `mimo-v2-flash-free` and realigns the provider-catalog tests. ([#6248](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6248) — thanks @backryun)

+## [3.8.44] — TBD
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(resilience):** throttle upstream quota fetches on the per-request preflight path ([#6009](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6009)) — a new global min-interval gate (`open-sse/services/quotaFetchThrottle.ts`) spaces the actual network calls made by the Codex quota fetcher so that many accounts on one IP no longer fetch quota in the same second (which, per `router-for-me/CLIProxyAPI#2385`, can get a Codex OAuth token revoked). Complements the existing bulk-sync spacing (`PROVIDER_LIMITS_SYNC_SPACING_MS`) which already serialized the periodic provider-limits sync — this covers the concurrent combo/preflight path it didn't. Cache hits are never delayed; fail-open (only ever awaits a timer). Configurable via `OMNIROUTE_QUOTA_FETCH_MIN_INTERVAL_MS` (default 250ms, clamped 0..5000; `0` disables). Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-fetch-throttle-6009.test.ts` (5). (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(autoCombo):** add **per-request Auto-Combo controls** via two headers ([#6024](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6024) / [#6025](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6025) / [#6023](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6023)) — `X-OmniRoute-Mode` steers an `auto` combo's scoring for a single request (friendly presets `fast`/`balanced`/`quality`/`cheap`/`reliable`/`offline` **or** a raw mode-pack name; `balanced` forces the default weights), and `X-OmniRoute-Budget` sets a hard per-request USD cost ceiling. Both override the combo's stored config only for the request that carries them; unknown/garbage values are ignored so the saved config is preserved. The resolvers are pure (`open-sse/services/autoCombo/requestControls.ts`) and feed the engine's existing `config.modePack` / `config.budgetCap` inputs — no engine changes. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auto-combo-request-controls-6024.test.ts` (5). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add the **Kenari** OpenAI-compatible gateway (BYOK). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kenari.test.ts`. (thanks @doedja)
+- **feat(models):** add `claude-sonnet-5` to the Antigravity model catalog (alias mapping in `antigravityModelAliases.ts`) ([#6103](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6103)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-model-aliases.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+- **feat(api):** add `/v1/ocr` endpoint (Mistral OCR), an OCR provider category, and Mistral moderation support. ([#5950](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5950)) (thanks @waguriagentic)
+- **Discovery tool (Phase 2):** add the `discoveryResults` DB module (CRUD over the `discovery_results` table, migration 074) and wire the opt-in provider-discovery service to persist and read findings through it (`persistDiscoveryResult`, `getDiscoveryResults`, `getDiscoveryResultById`, `markVerified`, `deleteDiscoveryResult`) with `(provider, method, endpoint)` upsert de-duplication. Adds the `/api/discovery/*` HTTP surface — `GET /results`, `GET|DELETE /results/:id`, `POST /scan`, `POST /verify/:id` — under **strict loopback-only** authorization (`/api/discovery/` is in `LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` and is NOT manage-scope-bypassable, so the `scan` route's outbound probes can never be reached from a tunnel/remote origin). Adds a **dashboard UI tab** (Tools → Discovery, `/dashboard/discovery`) to run scans and review, verify, or delete findings. The service stays **opt-in / default-off**. ([#5939](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5939))
+- **feat(api):** expose a read-only provider plugin manifest at `GET /api/v1/provider-plugin-manifest` for sidecar/relay discovery. ([#6001](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6001)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(sidecar):** advertise the provider manifest URL to Bifrost/CLIProxyAPI via the `X-OmniRoute-Provider-Manifest-Url` header (`OMNIROUTE_PROVIDER_MANIFEST_URL`). ([#6007](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6007)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(autoCombo):** add a latency/speed-optimized routing mode (shared `rankBySpeed` scoring core) plus the `omniroute_pick_fastest_model` MCP tool. ([#6011](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6011)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(providers):** refresh The Old LLM (Free) model catalog ([#5181](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5181)) — seed the current free `/api/chatgpt` tier (GPT-5/5.1/5.2/5.3/5.4, o3/o4-mini, Gemini 3 Pro / 2.5 Pro / 2.0 Flash / 1.5 Flash, Claude 4.6 Opus/Sonnet & 4.5 Haiku, GPT-4o, Grok 4, DeepSeek V3/R1, Sonar Pro) while keeping the legacy alias IDs for saved-preference compatibility. Also fixes a latent routing bug: `mapModel()` now passes known upstream IDs through unchanged, so Gemini/o-series/Grok/DeepSeek/Sonar models no longer silently collapse onto `GPT_5_4`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/theoldllm-model-refresh-5181.test.ts`. (thanks @WslzGmzs)
+- **feat(resilience):** surface Codex **banked reset credits** per connected account ([#5199](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5199)) — the Codex quota parsers (`buildCodexUsageQuotas`, `parseCodexUsageResponse`) now additively read `rate_limit_reset_credits.available_count` (+ optional `rate_limit_reached_type`) from the `/wham/usage` payload OmniRoute already fetches, and the provider-limits dashboard renders a **"Banked Reset Credits"** row when a positive count is present. Display-only and **fail-open** — the field is eligibility-gated, so accounts without it are unaffected (parsers never throw on absent/garbage shapes); redemption (an unofficial mutating endpoint) is intentionally out of scope. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-banked-reset-credits-5199.test.ts` (8). (thanks @ofekbetzalel)
+- **feat(providers):** add sign-up geo-restriction notices for **SenseNova** and **StepFun** ([#5462](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5462)) — the provider add-form now warns that SenseNova's console appears to require a Chinese (+86) phone number with no documented international path, and that StepFun's default endpoint is its China platform while a global StepFun Open Platform (`platform.stepfun.ai`, operated by Sparkling AI Pte. Ltd., Singapore) with email/Google/Discord login exists for international users. Informational `notice` only — neither provider is disabled. Regression guard: `tests/unit/regional-provider-cn-notices-5462.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(usage):** add on-demand period-scoped usage-data reset (Settings → System Storage) with a purge API and time-window selector. ([#5831](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5831))
+- **feat(claude-code):** add an opt-in auto-permission classifier compat mode (off/auto/always) for Claude Code, toggleable from the CLI Code settings. ([#5810](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5810))
+- **feat(providers):** add optional client-identity header profiles for compatible nodes — preset User-Agent/fingerprint headers (e.g. matching a known CLI) merged into the existing customHeaders field. ([#5812](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5812))
+- **feat(build):** add a backend-only fast build mode (`scripts/build/build-next-isolated.mjs` + `backendOnlyPages.mjs`) that skips compiling the dashboard frontend pages, cutting local/CI build time for backend-only changes. ([#6119](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6119) — thanks @artickc)
+- **feat(minimax):** extract MiniMax M3's raw `<think>...</think>` leakage into `reasoning_content` on the 8 OpenAI-format provider tiers, leaving the Claude-format `minimax`/`minimax-cn` tiers untouched (they already report reasoning correctly). ([#6073](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6073) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(services):** promote **Bifrost** (`@maximhq/bifrost` — Go AI-gateway) from an env-only relay sidecar to a first-class embedded/supervised service, matching the existing cliproxy/9router model — installer, bootstrap `SERVICES[]` entry, migration 113 DB seed, 7 lifecycle API routes under `/api/services/bifrost/` (loopback-only), a dashboard tab, and relay auto-wiring that defaults `BIFROST_BASE_URL` to the supervised port when running. Implements item #2 of #5670; the broader RouterBackend contract (items #1, #3-#5) stays out of scope. ([#5817](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5817), part of [#5670](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5670))
+- **feat(services):** add **Mux** (`coder/mux` — local agent-orchestration daemon) as a fourth-tier embedded service on the existing `ServiceSupervisor` framework — npm-based installer, `bootstrap.ts` registration, migration 113 DB seed, 7 lifecycle API routes under `/api/services/mux/` (loopback-only, defense-in-depth bind to 127.0.0.1), and a dashboard tab reusing the shared service-management components. ([#6034](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6034))
+- **feat(xai):** surface Grok/xAI usage on the quota dashboard via local `usageHistory` aggregation (`getXaiUsage`) — since xAI exposes no per-account quota API, this sums tokens routed to the connection from `usage_history` and reports them as a cumulative, uncapped quota, mirroring the existing Xiaomi MiMo self-track pattern. ([#5806](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5806))
+- **feat(minimax):** extract MiniMax M3's raw `<think>...</think>` tags into a separate `reasoning_content` field on the 8 provider tiers that register M3 with `format:"openai"` (trae, huggingchat, bazaarlink, ollama-cloud, opencode, cline, opencode-zen, codebuddy-cn) — previously the thinking text leaked directly into `content`. Reuses the existing `extractThinkingFromContent` primitive, extending its allowlist with a minimax-m3-only pattern; the two direct minimax/minimax-cn tiers are untouched since they already surface reasoning natively over Anthropic's Messages format. (Inspired by 9router#2231.) ([#6050](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6050) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(i18n):** auto-detect the browser language on first visit — a pure `detectBrowserLocale()` matcher (exact match, `zh-HK`/`zh-MO` folded to `zh-TW`, language-prefix match, else `null`) plus a client-only `LocaleAutoDetect` component mounted once in the root layout. When no locale cookie is set yet, it reads `navigator.languages`, computes a match against the supported locales, and persists it via the same cookie/localStorage writer `LanguageSelector` already used (extracted to `shared/lib/persistLocale.ts`). (Inspired by 9router#1324.) ([#5979](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5979))
+- **feat(cli-tools):** add **CodeWhale** — the actively-maintained successor to DeepSeek TUI (same author, renamed project) — as a dual dashboard entry alongside the existing "deepseek-tui" catalog entry, so existing DeepSeek TUI users keep a working card while new users are steered to CodeWhale. New `/api/cli-tools/codewhale-settings` route writes `~/.codewhale/config.toml` and keeps the legacy `~/.deepseek/config.toml` in sync. (Inspired by 9router#1761.) ([#5996](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5996))
+- **feat(server):** support reverse-proxy `basePath` deployment via a new opt-in `OMNIROUTE_BASE_PATH` env var (empty by default), using Next.js's native `basePath` support so a deployment behind a reverse-proxy subpath (e.g. `https://host/omniroute/`) works without manual header stripping; the two hardcoded auth-redirect targets in `src/server/authz/pipeline.ts` now prefix with `request.nextUrl.basePath`. Default empty basePath is a no-op for existing root-path deployments. (Inspired by 9router#1810.) ([#5992](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5992))
+- **feat(providers):** add **SumoPod** (`ai.sumopod.com`) and **X5Lab** (`api.x5lab.dev`) OpenAI-compatible BYOK aggregator gateways, wired via the default executor with bearer API-key auth; both use `passthroughModels` with a live `/v1/models` fetcher instead of a hardcoded catalog. Regression guard: `tests/unit/sumopod-x5lab-provider.test.ts`. (Inspired by 9router#1288.) ([#5963](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5963))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Charm Hyper** (`hyper.charm.land`) as a new OpenAI-compatible, bearer-auth API-key gateway provider with a free tier (100 monthly Hypercredits); models resolve via passthrough (`modelsUrl` + live `/v1/models`) since the catalog isn't publicly documented. (Inspired by 9router#2006.) ([#5961](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5961))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Nube.sh** (`ai.nube.sh`) as a new BYOK OpenAI-compatible gateway (LiteLLM proxy), Bearer/API-key auth. Its live model catalog is only reachable with a valid key, so no model IDs are hardcoded — it uses `passthroughModels` + `modelsUrl` for live enumeration. (Inspired by 9router#2294.) ([#5936](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5936) — thanks @whale9820)
+- **feat(providers):** add **b.ai** (`api.b.ai`) as a new OpenAI-compatible BYOK provider, distinct from the existing thebai/theb.ai provider, using passthrough model discovery with no hardcoded model list. (Inspired by 9router#963.) ([#5969](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5969))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Qiniu** (七牛云) AI inference gateway as a BYOK API-key provider — proxies many upstream models (DeepSeek V3/V4, Claude, Kimi, and more) behind a single key, shipping with an empty static seed and relying on `passthroughModels` + the live `/v1/models` catalog instead of a stale hardcoded model id. Regression guard: `tests/unit/qiniu-provider.test.ts`. (Inspired by 9router#911.) ([#5966](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5966))
+- **feat(providers):** port **ModelScope** (Alibaba 魔搭) as a new API-key, OpenAI-compatible provider — verified against ModelScope's own docs that the real production domain is `api-inference.modelscope.cn` (`.cn`, not the upstream PR's `.ai`) and shipped `passthroughModels: true` with an empty seed + `modelsUrl` instead of the upstream PR's static 5-model snapshot, since the open-model catalog moves fast. (Ported from 9router#1764.) ([#5965](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5965) — thanks @tn5052)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Augment (Auggie CLI)** as a new local, no-auth provider that spawns the user's local `auggie` CLI and pipes a flattened prompt via stdin, wrapping stdout as an OpenAI-compatible SSE stream or single JSON body. Auth is delegated to `auggie login` outside OmniRoute (synthetic `noAuth: true` connection, no DB row required); "Test Connection" spawns `auggie --version`. Hardened against the untrusted-input spawn sink: no `shell: true` on Windows (argv passed straight to the OS loader, no metacharacter interpretation), and `model` is validated against the registry allowlist before spawn (rejecting unknown or `-`-prefixed values) with a trailing `--` end-of-options marker. (Inspired by 9router#1200.) ([#5972](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5972) — thanks @chamdanilukman)
+- **feat(providers):** add **NVIDIA NIM image generation** — a dedicated `nvidia-nim` image format/handler (separate host, `ai.api.nvidia.com/v1/genai/<model>`, native NIM body shape) for the 4 FLUX models (flux.1-dev, flux.1-schnell, flux.1-kontext-dev, flux.2-klein-4b), shaping each model's per-model request body (dimension/mode validation, required input image + aspect ratio, optional edit image) and normalizing the NIM response's varying shapes into the OpenAI `{created, data}` shape. (Inspired by 9router#1195.) ([#5971](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5971))
+- **feat(oauth):** import a Codex connection from a raw ChatGPT access token — OmniRoute's only Codex import path previously required both `access_token` and `refresh_token`, leaving no path for a user with only a bare ChatGPT website access token. `createProviderConnection` gains an explicit `access_token` auth-type branch (intentionally never deduped), a new `POST /api/oauth/codex/import-token` route (Zod-validated), and `OAuthModal`'s manual-paste path now detects an `eyJ`-prefixed pasted token and posts it to the new endpoint, mirroring the existing grok-cli raw-token flow. The executor's `refreshCredentials()` already degrades safely to `null` without a refresh token, forcing re-auth on expiry. (Inspired by 9router#1290.) ([#5995](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5995) — thanks @ryanngit)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add a tool-source diagnostics settings toggle — a new Settings → Advanced card lets operators flip the existing `logToolSources` flag from the UI instead of editing the DB row directly; `logToolSources` is added to the `.strict()` `/api/settings` Zod PATCH schema (previously rejected). (Inspired by 9router#1825.) ([#5978](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5978) — thanks @DuyPrX)
+- **feat(dashboard):** collapse and sort provider quota rows by remaining percentage — the expanded quota list is sorted highest-remaining-first and collapsed to the first 3 rows by default, with a "Show N more"/"Show less" toggle when a connection reports more than 3 quotas, keeping at-risk quotas visible above a long list of healthy ones. Sort/slice logic extracted into pure, directly-unit-tested helpers (`sortQuotasByRemaining`, `getVisibleQuotas`). (Inspired by 9router#1919.) ([#5977](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5977))
+- **feat(dashboard):** suggest HuggingFace Hub media models — a new `GET /api/v1/providers/suggested-models` route proxies the public HF Hub models search API (Zod-validated, no token exposed client-side) and `ImageExampleCard` merges the results into the model picker as a selectable chip row for the huggingface provider; also adds a dedicated `huggingface-image` format/handler for HF's raw-image-bytes response. (Inspired by 9router#1633.) ([#5990](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5990))
+- **feat(cli-tools):** add a **Crush** entry to the dashboard CLI-Tools catalog plus a new `/api/cli-tools/crush-settings` route (GET/POST/DELETE) — OmniRoute already shipped a `crush` CLI setup command (`bin/cli/commands/setup-crush.mjs`) but the dashboard catalog had no matching entry; the new route writes to the same canonical `~/.config/crush/crush.json` path so the dashboard and CLI command agree. (Inspired by 9router#1233.) ([#5970](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5970))
+- **feat(providers):** extend Vercel AI Gateway (`vercel-ai-gateway`/`vag`) beyond chat-only to support **embeddings and image generation** — the gateway's OpenAI-compatible `/v1` API also exposes `/embeddings` and `/images/generations`, so entries were added to `EMBEDDING_PROVIDERS` (`embeddingRegistry.ts`) and `IMAGE_PROVIDERS` (`imageRegistry.ts`) modeled on the existing `openai` entries. ([#5968](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5968) — thanks @tantai-newnol)
+- **feat(api-keys):** add per-key **device/connection tracking** — a SHA-256 fingerprint of IP + User-Agent, with a 30-minute TTL and per-key/global caps, tracks distinct client devices seen with each API key (in-memory only, raw IP never stored). A new `GET /api/keys/[id]/devices` route exposes masked device details, and the API Keys dashboard tab gets a "Devices" count badge alongside the existing Sessions badge. This is a new granularity distinct from the existing `maxSessions` cap, which limits concurrent sticky-routing sessions rather than tracking device identity. ([#5998](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5998) — thanks @mugni-rukita)
+- **feat(proxy):** add **Webshare** (`proxy.webshare.io`) as a fourth source in the free-proxy provider framework alongside 1proxy, Proxifly, and IPLocate. `WebshareProvider` paginates the account's `/api/v2/proxy/list/` endpoint, upserts proxies into the shared `free_proxies` table, and tombstones proxies the account no longer lists while never touching rows already promoted into the live proxy pool. Unlike the other sources, Webshare is a paid per-account list, gated on `FREE_PROXY_WEBSHARE_API_KEY`. ([#5993](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5993) — thanks @ricatix)
+- **feat(antigravity):** support custom **Google Cloud project ID** settings from the connection edit modal (Antigravity family). ([#5905](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5905) — thanks @nickwizard)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add a **wildcard-CORS runtime warning** banner (Settings → Authorization) when `CORS_ALLOW_ALL`/`*` origins are in effect, plus a new `docs/security/CORS.md` security guide covering the risk and safer alternatives. ([#5602](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5602), [#5759](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5759))
+- **feat(api):** add a `/v1/audio/translations` endpoint (Whisper-style audio translation), a new `audioTranslation` handler, and translation providers wired into `audioRegistry`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/audio-translations-route.test.ts` (8, incl. no-stack-leak). ([#5809](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5809))
+- **feat(providers):** allow a **custom icon URL** for compatible provider nodes (migration 113 + `nodes.ts` + Zod schema + API routes + catalog + `ProviderIcon` UI). Regression guards: 14 backend + 5 frontend(vitest) + 24 page-utils tests. ([#5815](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5815))
+- **feat(xai):** register a dedicated `XaiExecutor` with reasoning-effort suffix parsing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executors/xai-executor.test.ts` (6). ([#5800](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5800))
+- **feat(webfetch):** support **self-hosted FireCrawl** instances via `FIRECRAWL_BASE_URL`/`FIRECRAWL_TIMEOUT_MS`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executors/firecrawl-fetch.test.ts` (4). ([#5793](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5793))
+- **feat(providers):** add **ClinePass** as a first-class API-key (BYOK) provider — Cline's paid gateway (`cline-pass/*` models, plain Bearer key), distinct from the existing OAuth `cline` provider. Regression guard: 16 clinepass tests. ([#5942](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5942) — thanks @adentdk)
+- **feat(relay):** gate **Bifrost auto-routing** by the provider plugin manifest — only manifest-eligible providers reach the sidecar; ineligible/unknown providers fall back to the existing TS routing path with explicit reasons. Regression guards: 4 provider-plugin-manifest + 11 relay-routing-backend tests. ([#5870](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5870) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(providers):** wire **Claude Sonnet 5** end-to-end across the model pipeline — registries, `modelSpecs`, pricing (×3), cost, Sonnet-family fallback, 1M-context, and static models. ([#5833](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5833) — thanks @ggiak)

+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **dashboard (`/dashboard/system/proxy` 500 on every render):** `ProxyRegistryManager` called `useProxyBatchOperations(load)` before the `const load = useCallback(...)` declaration in the component body, so every server render threw a TDZ `ReferenceError: Cannot access 'load' before initialization` and the whole proxy page 500'd (#5918 regression, caught by the release-PR e2e smoke — the PR→release fast-gates never render pages). The hook block now sits after the `load` declaration. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/ProxyRegistryManager-tdz-render.test.tsx` (SSR renderToString — the exact crash mode).
+
+- **server (TRACE/TRACK/CONNECT returned raw 500 on every route):** methods that undici/fetch cannot represent blew up inside Next's middleware adapter (`TypeError: 'TRACE' HTTP method is unsupported.`) as an unhandled 500 (caught by the release-PR dast-smoke Schemathesis negative tests on the new `/api/keys/{id}/devices` endpoint). The raw HTTP method guard now answers a clean 405 + `Allow` header for these methods on any path, before Next sees the request. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dast-method-not-allowed.test.ts` (new case).
+
+- **i18n (auto-detect refreshed every first visit):** `LocaleAutoDetect` (#5979) called `router.refresh()` on every cookie-less first visit — even when the detected browser locale was exactly the one the server had just rendered — re-navigating the page mid-interaction (flaky e2e "execution context destroyed" + a visible flash for every new visitor). It now refreshes only when the detected locale differs from the server-rendered `<html lang>`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/LocaleAutoDetect-refresh.test.tsx`.
+
+- **models (`oc/` alias must reach the no-auth OpenCode provider):** restore the [#2901](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/2901) routing contract after the #5918 transitive-alias change made the registered no-auth `opencode` provider unreachable by any prefix (`oc/` chained through the manual `opencode` → `opencode-zen` slug override and misrouted its combo entries). `resolveProviderAlias` now stops the alias chain as soon as a hop lands on a registered provider id, while keeping #5918's transitivity across alias-only hops and its loop/depth guards. Regression guards: `tests/unit/combo-builder-opencode-prefix.test.ts`, `tests/unit/provider-alias-transitive-5918.test.ts`.
+
+- **providers (Auggie executor EPIPE crash):** a fast-exiting `auggie` CLI (e.g. binary present but immediately failing) delivered `EPIPE` **asynchronously** as an `'error'` event on the child's stdin stream — which a plain try/catch around `stdin.write()` cannot catch — crashing the request instead of surfacing the sanitized CLI error. Both spawn sites now attach a stdin `'error'` handler so the child's own exit/close handlers report the failure. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auggie-executor.test.ts` (deterministic 3/3 locally).
+
+- **dashboard (CoolingConnectionsPanel broke `next build`):** the cooling-connections panel from #6061 imported `Card` from a shadcn-style path that does not exist in this repo (`@/components/ui/card`) and pulled the server DB barrel (`@/lib/localDb`) into a client component — `next build` failed to compile on the release branch. The panel now renders with repo-native markup and reads `formatResetCountdown` from the new client-safe `src/shared/utils/formatting.ts`. Regression guards: `tests/unit/format-reset-countdown.test.ts`, `tests/unit/ui/CoolingConnectionsPanel.test.tsx`. ([#6155](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6155))
+
+- **oauth (Zed "Unknown provider" crash):** adding **Zed** from the providers dashboard threw an unhandled `OAuth GET error: Unknown provider: zed` (500) ([#6041](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6041)). Zed is a **keychain-import-only** provider — it's listed in the OAuth catalog so the UI shows it, but has no OAuth handler, so the generic `/api/oauth/[provider]/[action]` route hit `getProvider("zed")` and crashed. The route now recognizes keychain-import-only providers and returns a clear **400** pointing users at the **Import** button (for both GET and POST OAuth actions), instead of a 500. Regression guard: `tests/unit/oauth-keychain-import-only-6041.test.ts`. (thanks @imblowsnow)
+
+- **fix(providers):** disable the unsupported `thinking` param for `minimax-m2.7` on NVIDIA NIM (the upstream rejects it) ([#6102](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6102)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-minimax-thinking-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(mitm):** add an in-process guard so concurrent MITM server starts no longer race — a second start while one is already in flight is short-circuited instead of double-binding the listener ([#6107](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6107)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-start-guard.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **translator (Responses → Chat Completions):** strip the Responses-API-only `truncation` field before forwarding a `/v1/responses` request to a non-OpenAI Chat Completions upstream ([#6109](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6109)). Strict upstreams (e.g. NVIDIA NIM) rejected it with HTTP 400 `Unsupported parameter(s): truncation`, breaking Codex-style clients routed to those providers. `client_metadata`, `background`, and `safety_identifier` were already stripped — `truncation` was the remaining gap. Regression guard: `tests/unit/responses-strip-truncation-2311.test.ts`. (thanks @TuanNguyen0708)
+
+- **combo (prefer known context capacity over unknown):** when a combo filters out at least one target for exceeding a _known_ context limit, the router now prefers the remaining known-compatible targets over targets whose context metadata is simply unknown, instead of letting unknown-metadata targets be the only survivors. If no known-compatible context target remains, context-only candidates fall back to the normal strategy order. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-context-window-filter.test.ts`. ([#6088](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6088) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+
+- **models (GLM-5.2 context normalization):** stop treating every hosted GLM-5.2 provider alias as the native 1M-context model. Native/bare GLM-5.2 and verified OpenCode / ZenMux routes keep their 1,000,000-token context, while hosted-provider aliases now respect the caps declared in their provider metadata instead of inheriting the native max. Regression guards: `tests/unit/model-capabilities-registry.test.ts`, `tests/unit/models-catalog-route.test.ts`. ([#6091](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6091) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+
+- **providers (Gemini Web):** refresh the Gemini Web cookie handling and model catalog so live Gemini Web sessions keep authenticating and routing to current models. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-web.test.ts`. ([#6095](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6095) — thanks @backryun)
+
+- **providers (Perplexity Web):** refresh the Perplexity Web model catalog to the current set (GPT-5.4/5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.0 / Opus 4.8, GLM-5.2, Kimi K2.6, Nemotron 3 Ultra) and update the internal mode / `model_preference` mappings and thinking variants so requests resolve to live upstream models. Regression guard: `tests/unit/perplexity-web.test.ts`. ([#6106](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6106) — thanks @backryun)
+
+- **dashboard ("Update now" → Internal Server Error):** clicking **Update now** on the dashboard home could crash the page with a blank "Internal Server Error" screen (`Minified React error #31`). The handler POSTs the loopback-only `/api/system/version` auto-update endpoint and, on a non-OK JSON response (e.g. a `403` when the dashboard is reached through a reverse proxy / non-loopback origin), passed the raw error envelope object `{ error: { code, message, correlation_id } }` straight to `notify.error()`, which rendered the object as a React child and threw #31. The update-error path now funnels the body through `extractApiErrorMessage()` (the same safe extractor added in #5340), so a readable string always reaches the toast. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/home-update-error-render-5991.test.ts`. ([#5991](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5991))
+- **fix(onboarding):** route the provider-details link in the onboarding wizard by the node's stable id instead of the composite provider slug, which could point at the wrong provider details page for multi-account/fingerprint nodes. Regression guard: `tests/unit/onboarding-wizard-details-link-6145.test.ts`. ([#6145](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6145) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(cli):** give `setup-claude` a fallback profile generator mirroring `setup-codex`, so profile generation no longer silently no-ops when the primary generator path is unavailable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli/setup-claude.test.ts` (new cases). ([#6138](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6138) — thanks @derhornspieler)
+- **fix(glm):** suppress a leaked `</think>` close marker in the GLM Anthropic transport, which was surfacing the raw reasoning-close tag in visible response content instead of being consumed as part of the thinking-block framing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/glm-think-close-marker-leak.test.ts`. ([#6133](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6133) — thanks @dhaern)
+- **fix(provider-limits):** close a TOCTOU race in quota-recovery clearing by moving the check-then-clear to a CAS (compare-and-swap) primitive in `src/lib/db/providers.ts`, so two concurrent recovery paths can no longer both observe stale state and double-clear/re-lock a connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-limits-recovery.test.ts`. ([#6139](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6139) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **fix(provider-limits):** clear transient rate-limit state (`rateLimitedUntil`, `lastError`, `backoffLevel`) as soon as quota recovers, instead of leaving stale rate-limit fields behind that could keep a now-healthy connection looking unavailable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-limits-recovery.test.ts`. ([#6128](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6128) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **combos (OpenCode/MiMo fingerprint accounts):** expand fingerprint-scoped OpenCode/MiMo accounts into their full per-fingerprint set in the combo builder, which previously showed only the first matching account entry and hid the rest from combo target selection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-builder-fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`. ([#6092](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6092), closes [#6087](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6087) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(auth):** persist quota-preflight account lockouts until the reset window elapses, instead of losing the lockout on process restart and letting a still-quota-exhausted account be selected again immediately. Regression guards: `tests/unit/sse-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/opencode-quota-fetcher.test.ts`, `tests/unit/usage-service-hardening.test.ts`. ([#6090](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6090) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+- **combo (fingerprint-based provider expansion):** expand fingerprint-based providers into per-fingerprint combo targets (`open-sse/services/combo/fingerprintExpansion.ts`) so a combo referencing a fingerprint-scoped provider fans out to every matching fingerprint account instead of collapsing onto one. Regression guards: `tests/unit/combo-fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`, `tests/integration/fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`. ([#6082](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6082) — thanks @pizzav-xyz)
+- **fix (safety-net redirect `reqId` crash):** fix a `reqId` `ReferenceError` thrown inside the safety-net combo redirect path in `src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, remove dead code in `src/domain/quotaCache.ts`, and rename the stray root `DESING.md` to `DESIGN.md`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chat-safetynet-reqid-6097.test.ts`. ([#6097](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6097) — thanks @fix2015)
+- **fix(compression):** send a patch-only body to `PUT /api/settings/compression` from `CompressionHub`, instead of round-tripping the full settings object and risking clobbering fields changed elsewhere between load and save. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/CompressionHub-patch-only.test.tsx`. ([#6077](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6077), closes [#6039](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6039) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(codex):** use `access_token.exp` instead of `id_token.exp` when computing `expiresAt` on Codex auth import, since the `id_token` can expire far sooner than the actual access token, causing imported connections to be treated as expired while still usable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-auth-import-expiry.test.ts`. ([#6084](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6084), closes [#6075](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6075) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(security):** persist the IP allow/block-list configuration (it was resetting to Disabled and clearing configured IPs on every restart/update) and actually enforce it in the authz pipeline (`src/server/authz/pipeline.ts`), where it was previously validated but never applied. Regression guards: `tests/unit/ip-filter-persistence-6131.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/ip-filter-enforcement-6131.test.ts`, `tests/unit/ip-filter.test.ts`. (closes [#6131](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6131), [#6132](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6132))
+- **fix (Claude tool_result adjacency):** reattach an OpenAI-shaped `tool_result` to sit directly adjacent to its originating `tool_use` before translating to Claude's message format (`open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-claude/toolResultAdjacency.ts`), since Claude's API rejects/mishandles a tool result separated from its tool call by intervening messages. Regression guard: `tests/unit/translator-openai-to-claude.test.ts` (new cases). ([#6035](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6035) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(config):** externalize `ws`/`bufferutil`/`utf-8-validate` in `next.config.mjs` so the `copilot-m365-web` executor's WebSocket masking path works at runtime — chat requests through it were silently timing out because the bundler was inlining `ws` instead of leaving it as a real Node dependency. Regression guard: `tests/unit/next-config.test.ts`. ([#6130](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6130), closes [#6062](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6062) — thanks @anki1kr, whose #6098 fix it re-lands)
+- **fix(registry):** update grok-cli model context lengths to match the actual Grok CLI `/context` capacities — `grok-build` 128k→256k, `grok-composer-2.5-fast` 128k→200k — so context-aware routing stops filtering these models out for exceeding a stale, too-low limit. Registry-only. ([#5913](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5913) — thanks @Chewji9875)
+- **fix(providers):** strip an orphan `tool_result` (one with no preceding `tool_use`) on the Antigravity MITM path before translating to OpenAI format, since an unpaired tool result upstream caused request failures. Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-orphan-toolresult-6026.test.ts`. (closes [#6026](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6026), [#6115](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6115))
+- **fix(providers):** emulate OpenAI-style `tool_calls` in the GitLab Duo executor (new `open-sse/executors/gitlabResponses.ts`), since the executor previously didn't emulate tool-call semantics for Duo, breaking tool-using clients routed to GitLab Duo. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-duo-toolcalls-6051.test.ts`. (closes [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051), [#6111](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6111))
+- **fix(429 / accountFallback):** persist the per-account 429 cooldown cascade across the request boundary and classify OpenCode's "Monthly usage limit. Resets in N days." message as a connection-scoped quota exhaustion with an N-day cooldown (instead of a ~5s transient retry), so an exhausted account stops being re-selected until its window resets. ([#6061](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6061) — thanks @KooshaPari / @anki1kr, whose superseded #6086 carried the same day-parser approach)
+- **combo (sibling-model fallback on per-model-quota 500s):** when a combo held multiple models from the same provider (e.g. two Gemini models) and the first returned a server 500, the router retried the same locked model and surfaced a 429 "cooling down" instead of trying the sibling — `markConnectionLevelExhaustion` was wrongly tripped by a model-level 500 for per-model-quota providers (gemini, github, passthrough, compatible), and the retry loop didn't check `isModelLocked` before re-hitting the same model. Both gaps are fixed; the combo now falls through to the untried sibling model. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo/combo-target-exhaustion.test.ts` (21 cases). ([#5976](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5976) — thanks @hartmark)
+- **providers (Cline non-streaming envelope):** Cline can return OpenAI-compatible chat completions wrapped as `{ success, data: { choices, usage, ... } }`; the non-streaming path checked the top-level body for empty content before unwrapping, so a valid wrapped response could be misclassified as malformed/empty. The envelope is now unwrapped immediately after provider-envelope handling, before empty-content detection, usage extraction, and translation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cline-response-envelope.test.ts`. ([#6046](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6046) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **providers (kimi-web, qwen-web):** align the kimi-web model catalog and request-scenario selection with `www.kimi.com`'s live `GetAvailableModels` response, and stop aliasing `qwen3-coder-plus` on qwen-web now that it is present as its own model in the live Qwen web catalog. ([#5915](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5915) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **translator (Antigravity/Gemini tool schemas):** strip `multipleOf` from function-declaration parameters before forwarding to Antigravity/Gemini — it is not part of the Gemini OpenAPI 3.0 schema subset accepted upstream and triggered a hard 400 ("Unknown name multipleOf"). Added to `GEMINI_UNSUPPORTED_SCHEMA_KEYS` so it is stripped at every schema level; `minimum`/`maximum` are unaffected since Gemini accepts them. (Ported from 9router#2309, reported by @abil0321.) ([#6052](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6052))
+- **translator (Kiro system prompt leak):** Kiro/CodeWhisperer has no system role, so system messages were normalized into a bare user turn — the full Claude Code system prompt then appeared as raw user text, polluting model context. System-origin content is now wrapped in `<system-reminder>` tags before merging into the Kiro user message; real user turns are unaffected. (Ported from 9router#2306, reported by @VitzS7.) ([#6053](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6053))
+- **fix(codex):** convert Chat Completions `json_schema` `response_format` → Responses API `text.format` on the Codex path, and preserve an existing `text.format` through verbosity normalization. Regression guards: 48 translator-openai-responses-req + 8 codex-verbosity tests. ([#5933](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5933) — thanks @yusufrahadika)
+- **fix(thinking):** only inject the `redacted_thinking` replay block when `tool_use` is present and thinking is enabled, avoiding a fabricated replay block on plain (non-tool) turns. ([#5945](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5945), [#5953](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5953))
+- **fix(resilience):** honor active **codex session affinity** over per-request reset-aware re-scoring, so an in-flight session sticks to its pinned account instead of being re-scored away mid-conversation. New `src/sse/services/sessionAffinityPin.ts` module. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-session-affinity-reset-aware-5903.test.ts`. ([#5903](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5903), [#5943](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5943))
+- **fix(resilience):** compute per-window `is_exhausted` and honor the quota-exhaustion preflight for **priority combos**, so a combo no longer keeps routing to a target whose current window is already exhausted. New `open-sse/services/combo/quotaExhaustionCutoff.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-priority-quota-exhaustion-cutoff-5923.test.ts`. ([#5923](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5923), [#5941](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5941))
+- **fix(providers):** strip a `/v1` suffix from the base URL unconditionally in both models-discovery paths, avoiding a doubled `/v1/v1/models` fetch error (e.g. Api Airforce). Regression guard: `tests/unit/airforce-v1-double-prefix-5899.test.ts`. ([#5899](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5899), [#5920](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5920) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(api):** relax provider-scoped chat completion validation on `/api/providers/[provider]/chat/completions`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-scoped-chat-completions-validation.test.ts`. ([#5907](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5907) — thanks @nickwizard)
+- **fix(providers):** validate **v0 Platform** (Vercel) API keys via the `/chats` endpoint instead of a probe that rejected valid keys. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-validation-specialty.test.ts`. ([#5954](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5954) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+- **fix(mcp):** auto-recover stale streamable HTTP MCP sessions on `initialize` instead of failing the reconnect. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mcp-session-sweep.test.ts`. ([#5957](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5957) — thanks @Chewji9875)
+- **fix(translator):** enforce strict Anthropic content-block compliance when converting an antigravity → openai request. Regression guard: `tests/unit/translator-antigravity-to-openai.test.ts` (9). ([#5935](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5935))
+- **fix(sse):** strip ANSI/VT100 escape codes from `gemini-cli` stream frames using a ReDoS-safe pattern. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-cli-ansi-sanitization.test.ts` (5). ([#5934](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5934) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(discovery):** resolve a doubled `/v1` discovery path and a `REDIRECT_BLOCKED` probe-loop abort in the model-discovery route. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-route.test.ts`. ([#5904](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5904) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **fix(providers): Perplexity Web now emits real `tool_calls` in streaming mode** — previously only non-streaming requests (`hasTools && !stream`) converted `<tool>{...}</tool>` text into OpenAI `tool_calls`; streaming requests (the default for agentic coding clients) got the raw `<tool>` text as plain `delta.content` and never emitted a `tool_calls` SSE delta. Now mirrors the `chatgpt-web` `toolMode` helpers (`buildToolModeResponse()`/`toolCompletionToSseStream()`, extended with a caller-supplied `idSeed` so tool-call ids stay provider-specific), buffering the completion and emitting a terminal SSE replay carrying `delta.tool_calls` + `finish_reason: tool_calls` regardless of the caller's stream flag. ([#5927](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5927), [#5937](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5937))
+- **providers (openai-family model inference no longer hijacks cataloged models):** `resolveModelByProviderInference()` had an unconditional `/^gpt-/i` heuristic that hijacked any model id starting with `gpt-`/`o1`/`o3` into provider `openai`, even when the id is cataloged under other providers — breaking bare (non-combo) requests for open-weight models like `gpt-oss-120b` (served by fireworks/cerebras/scaleway/byteplus/sambanova/heroku), which don't exist on openai's catalog, producing a 404 with no fallback. The heuristic is now gated on `providers.length === 0` so it only fires for genuinely uncataloged openai-family ids. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gptoss-provider-inference-5852.test.ts`. ([#5852](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5852), [#5938](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5938))
+- **fix(providers): deepseek-web reliability** — auto-refresh the session on `401`/`403`, refresh the v2.0.0 client headers, and fix the token-kind bulk import path. Regression guards: `tests/unit/deepseek-web-autorefresh-401-response.test.ts`, `tests/unit/bulk-web-session-import.test.ts`. ([#5988](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5988) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(api):** guard the shared frontend API client (`handleResponse` in `src/shared/utils/api.ts`) against non-JSON error responses — it previously called `response.json()` unconditionally and read `data.error` directly, throwing an unrelated parse error (or `undefined`) instead of a useful message when an upstream/proxy returned a non-JSON error body. Now routes through `parseResponseBody`/`getErrorMessage` to build a safe message regardless of body shape. Regression guard: `tests/unit/shared-api-utils.test.ts`. ([#5973](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5973))
+- **fix(embeddings):** forward the connection-level proxy configuration to embedding requests — `src/lib/embeddings/service.ts` previously ignored a connection's configured proxy when making embedding calls, so proxy-only network setups leaked embedding traffic outside the proxy. Regression guard: `tests/unit/embeddings-proxy-forwarding.test.ts`. ([#5975](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5975))
+- **fix(resilience):** parse `Retry-After` from a 429's JSON body for cooldown calculation, not just the HTTP header — a new `retryAfterJson.ts` helper extracts a retry-after hint from common JSON error-body shapes and `accountFallback.ts`'s cooldown path now prefers it when the header is absent. Regression guard: `tests/unit/account-fallback-retry-after-json.test.ts`. (Includes #6013's retry-after-json extraction.) ([#5974](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5974) — thanks @KooshaPari)

+- **release close (release-PR one-pass CI sweep):** restore Zod validation on the provider-scoped chat route with a `.passthrough()` schema that keeps #5907's relaxed semantics (t06 route-validation gate); point `/api/keys/{id}/devices`' 401 response at the management error envelope in `docs/openapi.yaml` (Schemathesis schema-conformance); rebaseline `i18nUiCoverage.pct` 77.5→76.8 (~1352 new en.json UI keys from the cycle await the async translation workflow — same shape as the v3.8.39 rebaseline); dismiss 2 CodeQL `js/incomplete-url-substring-sanitization` false positives on unit-test asserts (v3.8.35 precedent).
+
+- **release close (Phase 0 pre-flight):** align cycle-stale tests with merged behavior — provider count 166→167 (Kenari #6104), Linux-regenerated translate-path golden (+`kenari`), OpenCode quota scope `provider`→`connection` (#6061) — and absorb cycle ratchet drift (file-size caps for `oauth/[provider]/[action]/route.ts` 960, `providerLimits.ts` 998, `chat.ts` 1662, `auth.ts` 2426, with #6158 tracked to restore the oauth-route freeze). The test-masking gate gains a narrowly-scoped `_deletedWithReplacement` allowlist section (deletion is exempt ONLY when the declared replacement test file exists in HEAD — used for `targetExhaustion.test.ts` → `tests/unit/combo/combo-target-exhaustion.test.ts`, which has MORE coverage: 21 cases/52 asserts vs 13/37), plus 5 new gate unit tests and reduction-allowlist entries for the verified-legitimate #5958/#6088/#5816 assert migrations.
+
+- **test (deflake `setup-claude`):** `tests/unit/cli/setup-claude.test.ts` failed ~50% of runs with `Unable to deserialize cloned data due to invalid or unsupported version` at file teardown (all subtests passed), randomly reddening `Unit Tests fast-path (2/2)` / `Fast Quality Gates` across the PR→release queue. Root cause: `node --test` streams each file's report to the parent as V8-serialized frames on fd 1 (stdout), and the CLI helper under test (`syncClaudeProfilesFromModels`) prints progress via `console.log` — that stdout output interleaved with the serialized frames and corrupted the stream. The test now silences the stdout-writing `console` methods for the file's duration (no assertion inspects stdout), making it deterministic (15/15 green locally). ([#5959](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5959)) ([#6021](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6021))
+
+- **API validation:** add a `validatedJsonBody(request, schema)` helper in `src/shared/validation/helpers.ts` that fuses JSON body parsing and Zod validation into a single call, returning either the type-narrowed data or a ready-to-return 400 `NextResponse` with the standard error envelope. Salvaged from the closed refactor PR #5075 (Tier 1 portable helper) with a focused 6-case regression test. Co-authored-by: KooshaPari <KooshaPari@users.noreply.github.com>
+- **repo (Windows case-conflict cleanup):** remove the stale root `DESIGN.md`, which case-conflicted with `design.md` and broke checkouts/clones on case-insensitive Windows filesystems. ([#6140](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6140) — thanks @backryun)
+- **i18n(zh-CN):** translate the CHANGELOG entries and section headings, adopting zh-CN as a fully translated locale alongside the existing supporting docs. ([#6043](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6043) — thanks @studyzy)
+- **docs (env-doc-sync base-red):** document `BIFROST_PORT` in `.env.example` / `docs/reference/ENVIRONMENT.md` — the Bifrost embedded-service merge referenced `process.env.BIFROST_PORT` (default 8080) without documenting it, so `check:env-doc-sync` failed on the release tip and reddened Fast Quality Gates for every open PR→release. Docs-only (`8d7e3e28f`).
+- **test (CI-runner-independent translate-path golden):** normalize OS/arch-derived request headers (`X-Stainless-Os`/`X-Stainless-Arch`, `(OS;arch)` User-Agent segments, and Antigravity's `os.platform()`-derived platform substring) in the provider translate-path golden snapshot, so the test no longer depends on the OS/arch of the CI runner that generated it — a Mac-literal Antigravity UA was failing on Linux CI. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-translate-path-golden.test.ts`. ([#6076](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6076) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **release-green base-reds (#5695 regex + file-size rebaseline):** `tests/unit/ui/quick-start-api-keys-link-5695.test.ts` now tolerates Prettier splitting a multi-line `<Link href=...>` so the `step1Desc` regex matches the `/dashboard/api-manager` link instead of skipping to `step2`'s single-line `/dashboard/providers` link (test was brittle, not the code). Also rebaselines 5 files that grew via already-merged release-tip PRs in `config/quality/file-size-baseline.json` (`ApiManagerPageClient` 3017→3058, `OAuthModal` 969→989, `cliRuntime` 1090→1100, `webProvidersA` 805→809, `deepseek-web.test` 1081→1092), with shrink tracked in #3501. ([#6093](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6093))
+- **release close (LEDGER-4 base-red):** the `cline-pass` provider's `minimax-m3` registry entry was missing `supportsVision`, breaking the LEDGER-4 registry-consistency test (every `minimax-m3` entry must set `supportsVision` to match `lite.ts` — the model is multimodal). Flagged it to match every other `minimax-m3` entry (trae, bazaarlink, cline, ollama-cloud, ...). ([#6003](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6003))
+- **release close (stryker `tap.testFiles` drift):** additional release-green cleanup clearing the `qoder` registry's `minimax-m3` `supportsVision` LEDGER-4 base-red and `stryker.conf.json`'s `tap.testFiles` drift. ([#6012](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6012))
+- **install (pnpm 11+ support):** pnpm 11 introduced `ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS` for native addon packages — without explicit `allowBuilds` approval, packages silently skip their build scripts and OmniRoute fails to start with missing native modules. Sets `allowBuilds=true` for all 13 native addon packages in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` (`@parcel/watcher`, `@swc/core`, `better-sqlite3`, `core-js`, `esbuild`, `keytar`, `koffi`, `libxmljs2`, `onnxruntime-node`, `protobufjs`, `sharp`, `tls-client-node`, `unrs-resolver`) and migrates `onlyBuiltDependencies` from the deprecated `package.json` field to a new `pnpm.json`. (commit 39349da18 — thanks @chirag127)
+- **refactor (Block J hot-path decomposition):** extract pure leaves with no behavior change from the executor, translator, combo, and SSE hot paths — orphaned executor tests moved to top-level so a runner collects them, and `handleComboChat`'s auto-strategy/target-timeout regions split into named helpers. ([#6063](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6063), [#6049](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6049), [#6036](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6036), [#6030](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6030), [#6020](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6020), [#6018](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6018), [#6017](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6017), [#6016](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6016), [#6015](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6015), [#6014](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6014), [#6008](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6008), [#6006](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6006), [#6000](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6000), [#5999](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5999), [#5994](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5994), [#5967](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5967), [#5962](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5962), [#5960](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5960), [#5947](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5947), [#5949](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5949), [#5940](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5940), [#5932](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5932))
+- **chore (quality/CI housekeeping):** rebaseline residual ESLint/cognitive-complexity/file-size drift accumulated over the v3.8.44 cycle, move orphaned executor tests to a top-level location so a runner actually collects them, harden the release pipeline with a test-masking pre-flight gate plus contributors/uncovered helpers, and make the `pr-evidence` FAIL output tell the author to push (a body edit alone does not re-run the gate). ([#5926](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5926), [#5944](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5944), [#5952](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5952), [#6027](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6027), [#5928](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5928), plus a #5975-collateral test hardening pinning a seeded connection to direct egress in route-edge-coverage)
+- **docs (housekeeping):** normalize mixed-language documentation content, restore the OpenAPI coverage ratchet by documenting 9 newly-added routes, record Hard Rule #22 (cross-session safety — `git stash` + in-flight PR bans), and document the compression-engine's upstream sync policy for the RTK/Caveman engines. ([#6105](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6105), [#5955](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5955), [#5948](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5948), plus docs-only commit 926b08aa8)

-As credenciais OAuth embutidas no OmniRoute estão cadastradas **apenas para `localhost`**. Quando você acessa o OmniRoute em um servidor remoto (ex: `https://omniroute.meuservidor.com`), o Google rejeita a autenticação com:
-
-```
-Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch
-```
-
-#### Solução: Configure suas próprias credenciais OAuth
-
-Você precisa criar um **OAuth 2.0 Client ID** no Google Cloud Console com a URI do seu servidor.
-
-#### Passo a passo
-
-**1. Acesse o Google Cloud Console**
-
-Abra: [https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials)
-
-**2. Crie um novo OAuth 2.0 Client ID**
-
-- Clique em **"+ Create Credentials"** → **"OAuth client ID"**
-- Tipo de aplicativo: **"Web application"**
-- Nome: escolha qualquer nome (ex: `OmniRoute Remote`)
-
-**3. Adicione as Authorized Redirect URIs**
-
-No campo **"Authorized redirect URIs"**, adicione:
-
-```
-https://seu-servidor.com/callback
-```
-
-> Substitua `seu-servidor.com` pelo domínio ou IP do seu servidor (inclua a porta se necessário, ex: `http://45.33.32.156:20128/callback`).
-
-**4. Salve e copie as credenciais**
-
-Após criar, o Google mostrará o **Client ID** e o **Client Secret**.
-
-**5. Configure as variáveis de ambiente**
-
-No seu `.env` (ou nas variáveis de ambiente do Docker):
-
-```bash
-# Para Antigravity:
-ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=seu-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
-ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-seu-secret
-
-GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=seu-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
-GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-seu-secret
-```
-
-**6. Reinicie o OmniRoute**
-
-```bash
-# Se usando npm:
-npm run dev
-
-# Se usando Docker:
-docker restart omniroute
-```
-
-**7. Tente conectar novamente**
-
-
-Agora o Google redirecionará corretamente para `https://seu-servidor.com/callback` e a autenticação funcionará.
-
----
-
-#### Workaround temporário (sem configurar credenciais próprias)
-
-Se não quiser criar credenciais próprias agora, ainda é possível usar o fluxo **manual de URL**:
-
-1. O OmniRoute abrirá a URL de autorização do Google
-2. Após você autorizar, o Google tentará redirecionar para `localhost` (que falha no servidor remoto)
-3. **Copie a URL completa** da barra de endereço do seu browser (mesmo que a página não carregue)
-4. Cole essa URL no campo que aparece no modal de conexão do OmniRoute
-5. Clique em **"Connect"**
-
-> Este workaround funciona porque o código de autorização na URL é válido independente do redirect ter carregado ou não.

+- **feat(release):** `changelog.d/` fragments — eliminates the CHANGELOG merge-storm cascade. ([#6783](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6783) — thanks @diegosouzapw)

+
+- **feat(dashboard):** sidebar quick-filter — a search input at the top of the expanded dashboard sidebar (`src/shared/components/Sidebar.tsx`) filters nav sections/groups/items client-side by label as you type, reusing the existing `common.search`/`common.noResults` i18n keys (zero new locale edits) and the shared `Input` `icon="search"` pattern; matching sections auto-expand while searching (bypassing the accordion/pin state) and collapse back to normal once the query is cleared. Pure filtering logic extracted into `filterSidebarSectionsByQuery()` (`src/shared/utils/sidebarSearch.ts`) for isolated unit testing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/sidebar-search-filter.test.ts`, `src/shared/components/Sidebar.search.test.tsx`. (#4013 — thanks @crochabe-cyber)
+- **feat(combo):** `auto/*` combos gain a strict budget-cap fallback policy — `X-OmniRoute-Budget-Fallback: strict` (or the persisted `config.budgetFallback: "strict"`) makes an over-budget request fail fast with `HTTP 402` instead of the previous silent fallback to the globally cheapest candidate, which could still exceed the cap. The default (`cheapest`) preserves existing behavior. Builds on the existing `X-OmniRoute-Budget`/`X-OmniRoute-Mode` per-request controls (#6023/#6024/#6025), consolidated into `resolveRequestAutoControls()`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auto-combo-budget-fallback-3470.test.ts`. (#3470)
+- **Provider/model param filters**: config-driven parameter denylist/allowlist per provider/model with auto-learn from upstream 400s (#6649 — thanks @ThongAccount, closes #6625)
+- **Per-combo reasoning token buffer toggle**: the combo builder now exposes an explicit checkbox for the `#3587` reasoning-model `max_tokens` buffer, defaulting to the existing enabled behavior, so a combo can opt out without hand-editing raw JSON config (#6702 — thanks @xz-dev)
+- **feat(dashboard):** 9router-parity **Routing Strategy** settings card on Settings → Routing, plus a per-provider account-routing override on the provider detail page ([#6678](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6678)) — surfaces the existing account round-robin / sticky-limit knobs and adds a new combo-level sticky round-robin (`comboStickyRoundRobinLimit`, resolved via `resolveComboStickyRoundRobinLimit()` — per-combo → global combo sticky → account sticky cascade) so combo targets can batch calls per target the same way account fallback already does. A new `providerStrategies` setting (Zod-validated map, `src/shared/validation/settingsSchemas.ts`) lets a specific provider override the global `fallbackStrategy`/`stickyRoundRobinLimit` without touching the account-wide default, wired into `getProviderCredentials()` (`src/sse/services/auth.ts`) ahead of the global fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-rr-sticky-9router.test.ts`, `tests/unit/settings-ui-layout-static.test.ts`. (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **feat(icons):** provider logos now resolve local SVG assets first for faster rendering, with a 5-tier fallback chain — local SVG → `@lobehub/icons` React components → `thesvg.org` CDN (external SVG for unknown providers) → local PNG → generic AI icon — replacing the previous LobeHub-first order. Adds dozens of first-party provider SVGs and migrates several bitmap logos (continue/copilot/cursor/deepgram/heroku/openclaw/ovhcloud) from PNG to SVG. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/ProviderIcon-icon-url.test.tsx`. ([#6317](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6317) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **Skill Collector CLI detection**: new `GET /api/skills/collect/detect` + `POST /api/skills/collect/install` (and the `cli-skill-collector` agent skill) detect which coding CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Cline, Hermes, OpenCode, etc.) are installed locally via `getCliRuntimeStatus()`, match them against GitHub agent-skill repos, and plan an install path per tool — replacing the standalone Skill Collector Python app. Both new routes and `GET/POST /api/github-skills` now require management auth (`requireManagementAuth()`) and are loopback-gated (`LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` + `SPAWN_CAPABLE_PREFIXES`) since the detect route spawns a child process per candidate CLI tool (Hard Rules #15 + #17). The `omniroute_github_skills_install` MCP tool now reports the honest `action: "planned"` instead of `"installed"`, matching the REST route (#6294 — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **ClinePass dual-auth**: ClinePass now offers both sign-in methods on its dashboard page — OAuth (reusing the Cline WorkOS flow) as the primary "Connect" path, or a pasted BYOK API key via "Manual API key", instead of only the API-key-only provider shipped in #5942. The registry alias was aligned to `cp` (matching the `OAUTH_PROVIDERS` catalog alias) so `<alias>/<modelId>` routing resolves correctly, the OAuth refresh dispatch now routes `clinepass` to the shared Cline refresh flow, and the duplicate API-key-only catalog entry was removed to keep ClinePass listed once. Regression guard: `tests/unit/clinepass-provider.test.ts`. (#6126 — thanks @hajilok)
+- **feat(oauth):** Kiro/Amazon Q auto-import now supports enterprise **External IdP** ("Your organization") logins via Microsoft Entra/Okta/Auth0/OneLogin/Ping/Google/Cognito — these org-issued tokens are not AWS SSO tokens (no `aorAAAAAG`-prefixed refresh token) and can't refresh through the AWS OIDC/Kiro-social path, so `tryAwsSsoCache()` now detects them (`authMethod`/`provider === "externalidp"`) and refreshes via the org IdP's own `tokenEndpoint` (public-client OAuth2 refresh grant, no client secret), persisting `TokenType: EXTERNAL_IDP` gating so the runtime executor sends the header the AWS CodeWhisperer API requires for these accounts; `tokenEndpoint` is SSRF-guarded against an HTTPS + known-IdP-host-suffix allowlist. (#6363 — thanks @artickc)
+- **Kiro long-lived API key auth**: new `/api/oauth/kiro/api-key` route + `KiroService.validateApiKey` let a Kiro account be linked with a long-lived AWS CodeWhisperer/Kiro API key instead of the interactive OAuth device flow, with live per-account model discovery (`ListAvailableModels`, 5-minute cache) layered over the existing static registry fallback (#6587 — thanks @strangersp)
+- **Chaos Mode**: multi-model parallel/collaborative task execution — dispatches a task to every active provider connection at once (parallel) or chains outputs sequentially so each model builds on the previous one's answer (collaborative), configurable via Dashboard → Chaos Mode (`GET`/`PUT`/`DELETE /api/chaos/config`) and gated per-API-key via a new `chaosModeEnabled` permission (opt-in — disabled by default globally and per key). `POST /api/chaos/run` (dashboard session) and `POST /api/skills/collect/chaos` (external Bearer-token) delegate to a shared `executeChaosRun()` engine (`src/lib/chaos/chaosExecutor.ts`) that dispatches in-process via the established synthetic-Request/route-handler pattern (no network hop, no hardcoded port), with a concurrency cap (max 10 parallel), configurable `max_tokens` (256–128k), a clear error when `stream` is requested, and collaborative-chain info (provider order + input size). Fixes external Bearer-auth bypass and stale config-cache leakage. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chaos-config.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chaos-executor.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chaos-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6728](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6728) — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **feat(cli):** 2 new CLI tool integrations on Dashboard → CLI Tools — **omp** (Oh My Pi) and **letta** — each with binary detection, config apply/reset, and a settings card following the existing tool-card pattern. Both settings routes shell out to `which omp`/`which letta` to detect the local install, so they're loopback-gated (`LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES`, Hard Rules #15/#17) in addition to the shared `requireCliToolsAuth()` management-auth guard every cli-tools route requires, and route errors through `sanitizeErrorMessage()`; `src/lib/db/omp.ts` isolates the `omp` CLI's own local SQLite reads behind parameterized queries. (Note: the original PR also proposed **pi**, **codewhale**, and **jcode** integrations — those three had already shipped via a separate PR by the time this one was reconciled, so only omp+letta landed here.) Regression guard: `tests/unit/db/omp.test.ts`, `tests/unit/cli-tools-auth-hardening.test.ts`, `tests/integration/cli-settings-omp.test.ts`, `tests/integration/cli-settings-letta.test.ts`. ([#6318](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6318) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **feat(providers):** custom models now support a manual **Context Window Override** so an operator can correct a provider's misreported context length (e.g. reports 1M when the real limit is 128K) instead of the model silently getting dropped from combo routing once the wrong value lands in the catalog ([#4125](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/4125) — thanks @rucciva). Reuses the existing Feature-5004 `model_context_overrides` table (`source: "manual"`) — already the priority-0 source `getModelContextLimit()` (the function combo's context-window filter calls) reads ahead of the models.dev/registry/static catalog — so no new resolver logic was needed, only the missing write path: `PUT /api/provider-models` now accepts an optional `contextWindowOverride` (number to set, `null` to clear), `GET` surfaces the current value back on each custom-model row, and the provider detail page's custom-model edit form gained a Context Window Override field + badge. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-context-window-override-4125.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** register OpenRouter as a rerank provider so `openrouter/cohere/rerank-*` models resolve instead of erroring `Invalid rerank model` (#6574 — thanks @rafpigna)
+- **fix(api):** `HEAD` requests no longer hang until client timeout on any route — valid, unknown, authed, or unauthed ([#6400](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6400)), broader follow-up to the route-specific #6517 (`/v1/models`). Root cause: Next.js 16's App Router _route-handler_ pipeline (`next/dist/server/send-response.js`) correctly skips piping a `Response` body for `HEAD`, but its _page_-rendering pipeline (`next/dist/server/pipe-readable.js` → `pipeToNodeResponse`, used for every app-router page/layout render — including the `not-found` boundary any unmatched path falls through to) has no such check and always streams the full rendered body regardless of method; combined with Node's default keep-alive framing this left some clients unsure whether the (implicitly bodyless) `HEAD` response had actually finished. A new `scripts/dev/head-response-guard.cjs`, wired into both the dev/start custom server (`scripts/dev/run-next.mjs`) and the packaged standalone server (`scripts/dev/standalone-server-ws.mjs`) at the same tier as the existing `http-method-guard.cjs`/`peer-stamp.mjs` wrappers, discards any body bytes written for a `HEAD` request and forces `Connection: close` once `.end()` is called — independent of route existence or auth state, satisfying RFC 9110 §9.3.2. Regression guard: `tests/unit/head-request-closes-6400.test.ts`.
+- **feat(dashboard):** Provider Quota page (`Dashboard → Quota`) fills horizontal whitespace before stacking vertically ([#3520](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3520)) — `QuotaCardGrid` previously stacked every provider group in a single vertical `flex flex-col`, and each group's own card grid didn't go multi-column until `md` (`grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 xl:grid-cols-3 2xl:grid-cols-4`). Provider groups now flow into a 2-column CSS multi-column layout on very wide (`2xl`) screens instead of an unconditional vertical stack, and each group's card grid starts at 2 columns immediately (`grid-cols-2 md:grid-cols-3 xl:grid-cols-4`), reaching higher density sooner on narrower-but-not-mobile viewports. Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-card-grid-horizontal-layout.test.ts` (thanks @gdevenyi).
+- **feat(ws):** the live-dashboard WebSocket server now auto-starts in-process (via `instrumentation-node.ts`) across every deployment mode — dev, production, Docker, Electron — with no separate sidecar script; the default WS port moved from 20129 to **20132** to avoid colliding with `API_PORT` in split-port setups, the deprecated `OMNIROUTE_DISABLE_LIVE_WS` env was consolidated into `OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS` (default enabled), and the WS path is now derived from `NEXT_PUBLIC_LIVE_WS_PUBLIC_URL`'s pathname (`/live-ws` fallback) (#6072 — thanks @ianriizky).
+- **feat(compression):** new **omniglyph** engine (context-as-image) — renders system prompt, tool docs, and dense history as compact PNG pages the model reads instead of text (~10× fewer tokens on the converted block; 59–70% end-to-end measured). Works stacked with RTK/Caveman (`stackPriority: 90`) or standalone (`mode: omniglyph`); restricted to Claude Fable 5 over the direct Anthropic route, fail-closed gates with `skip:<reason>` techniques, preview (`stable: false`, off by default) (#6556). Dependency bumped to `omniglyph@^1.0.2` for upstream ReDoS fixes (#6661).
+- **feat(sandbox):** the skill sandbox gained a container-provider abstraction that auto-detects and uses the best native runtime per host — Apple Container (macOS 26+), WSL container (`wslc.exe`), OrbStack, Podman — instead of hardcoding `docker run`, removing the Docker Desktop requirement on macOS/Windows (#6611 — thanks @KooshaPari).
+- **fix(sse):** skip `thinkingConfig` for Gemma models on the OpenAI→Gemini path so OpenAI-shape clients no longer get a 400 from Vertex. (thanks @chy1211)
+- **feat(xai):** route xAI clients to Grok's native `/v1/responses` endpoint instead of the chat-completions bridge. (thanks @ryanngit)
+- **feat(models):** add a Settings → AI "Model Overrides" UI plus `/api/model-capability-overrides` CRUD and a `model_capability_overrides` table, letting operators set a manual max-output-token override per provider/model (#6727 — thanks @xz-dev).
+- **feat(resilience):** operator-configurable account rotation policy — a new `rotationConfig` layer lets operators tune how connections rotate on failure, wired into `accountFallback` (#6763 — thanks @artickc).
+- **chore(cursor): add Grok 4.5 effort/fast model IDs** (#6774 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- **feat(codex):** Codex provider model discovery now fetches the live catalog from `chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/models` using Codex-shaped headers, falling back to a GitHub-hosted model manifest and then to the local static catalog when the live/GitHub sources are unavailable or return an unexpected shape — new `src/app/api/providers/[id]/models/discovery/codex.ts` (normalization, version-gating, merge/enrich against the local catalog) covered by `tests/unit/provider-models-discovery-split.test.ts` and `tests/unit/provider-models-route-codex.test.ts` (#6776 — thanks @JxnLexn).
+- **feat(cursor):** register the Opus 4.8, Fable 5, and Sonnet 5 model families for the Cursor Agent provider so the latest Claude/Fable model ids route correctly (#6779 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- **Changelog fragments (`changelog.d/`)**: PRs now add their changelog entry as a new fragment file (`changelog.d/{features|fixes|maintenance}/<PR>-<slug>.md`) instead of editing `CHANGELOG.md` — two PRs never touch the same file, structurally eliminating the CHANGELOG-eat merge conflicts that forced a re-sync push + full CI re-run after every sibling merge (O(N²) CI runs in a merge-storm). `scripts/release/aggregate-changelog.mjs` (npm run changelog:aggregate) folds fragments into the living section at release reconciliation, and `check:changelog-integrity` now also validates fragment well-formedness. Regression guard: `tests/unit/changelog-fragments.test.ts`.
+- **feat(proxy):** add a latency-optimized proxy rotation strategy that ranks pool entries by measured round-trip latency, extending the existing round-robin/random/sticky proxy-pool selection (#6798 — thanks @iamraydoan).
+- **feat(fusion):** the fusion judge may now draw on its own knowledge and override the panel when every panel answer is wrong or incomplete, instead of being restricted to synthesizing only from panel output (#6804 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **feat(dashboard):** search box on the Playground's raw model `<select>` (#4086) — the shared `ModelSelectModal` (combo builder + CLI-code cards) already had search, but Playground's `StudioConfigPane` model dropdown stayed a flat unsearchable list, unusable once a provider like OpenRouter contributed 50+ models. Typing now filters the dropdown (Turkish-safe accent/case-insensitive match via `matchesSearch`), while the currently selected model always stays pinned in the list even if it no longer matches the query, so typing never silently swaps the active selection. Reuses the existing `common.search` i18n key (already translated in all 42 locales) — no new translation key needed. Regression guard: `tests/unit/playground-model-selection-3731.test.ts` (`filterModelsByQuery`), `tests/unit/ui/playground-model-search-4086.test.tsx`.
+- **feat(usage):** Antigravity/agy quota widget now surfaces the **weekly** window alongside the existing per-model 5-hour window ([#4017](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/4017)) — the weekly limit isn't part of the per-model `retrieveUserQuota` response the fetcher already calls; it only appears in a separate, undocumented `retrieveUserQuotaSummary` RPC that groups models into families ("Gemini Models", "Claude and GPT models") with one weekly bucket per family. A new `usage/antigravityWeeklyQuota.ts` leaf fetches that RPC (cached, best-effort — a failure or unavailable RPC never breaks the existing per-model quotas) and parses the weekly bucket per group into `gemini_weekly`/`claude_gpt_weekly` quota entries, merged into the same `quotas` map the widget already renders generically. Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-weekly-quota-4017.test.ts` (bucket parsing, the alternate `quotaSummary`-nested envelope, and end-to-end merge via `getUsageForProvider`).
+- **feat(codex):** Codex CLI compatibility shim — the Responses API `response.created`/`response.in_progress`/`response.completed` payloads now carry a `model` field (previously absent), and for Codex-CLI-originated requests it echoes the client-requested, effort-suffixed model id (e.g. `gpt-5.5-xhigh`) instead of the bare upstream id (`gpt-5.5`), so the Codex CLI status line/model button shows the active reasoning effort ([#3697](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3697)). `openaiToOpenAIResponsesResponse` (`open-sse/translator/response/openai-responses.ts`) now threads the upstream model into the Responses event objects; a new `isCodexOriginatedHeaders()` (`open-sse/config/codexIdentity.ts`, reusing PR #3481's `originator`/User-Agent detection) makes chatCore's existing opt-in `echoRequestedModelName` (#1311) model-echo pipeline fire automatically for Codex clients regardless of the setting, detected by request headers so it still applies when `codex/gpt-5.5-xhigh` is routed through a combo to a non-codex upstream; `echoModelInObject`/`echoModelInSseLine` (`open-sse/services/responseModelEcho.ts`) now also rewrite the nested `response.model` field the Responses API uses. `/v1/models` still returns `models: []` for Codex (unchanged). Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-effort-model-echo-3697.test.ts`.
+- **Z.ai Web (free web-session provider)**: new `zai-web` web-cookie provider drives the free chat.z.ai consumer chat UI via a pasted browser session cookie, distinct from the existing API-key `zai`/`glm`/`glm-cn`/`glmt` providers (`api.z.ai`) — modeled on the `doubao-web`/`venice-web` cookie executors and the pre-existing `chatglm-web` credential requirement/token-extraction entries. `ZaiWebExecutor` (`open-sse/executors/zai-web.ts`) posts to `chat.z.ai/api/chat/completions` with the cookie forwarded both as `Cookie` and as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`, and normalizes both z.ai's internal `delta_content`/`phase` SSE envelope and a pass-through OpenAI-shaped `choices[].delta` frame into standard chat-completion chunks. Registered in `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS`, `WEB_SESSION_CREDENTIAL_REQUIREMENTS`, the provider registry (`zai-web` entry, GLM-4.6/4.5/4.5V models), and `tokenExtractionConfig.ts` for in-app cookie capture. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executor-zai-web.test.ts` (16 tests — token extraction, frame parsing for both SSE shapes, streaming and non-streaming aggregation, error paths). (#4056)
+- **feat(compression):** update the vendored **GCF** codec behind the **Headroom** engine to spec **v3.2 (nested flattening)** ([#6837](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6837)). Homogeneous arrays whose rows carry nested objects/arrays now tabularize via `>`-prefixed path fields instead of a low-yield per-row fallback, so nested MCP tool-result rows (`meta:{...}`, `tags:[...]`) compact like flat rows. On representative shapes the update takes deeply-nested payloads the old codec left near-uncompressed from ~3% to ~32% vs JSON (k8s pods, `cl100k_base`), with shallow-nested rows seeing a small bump and flat arrays unchanged. Re-vendored from current gcf-typescript (zero runtime deps, MIT, SPDX-marked, generic-profile only); also folds in the `[N]:` inline-array quoting fix and canonical decimal formatting. Round-trip stays lossless (order-insensitive), and the decoder is hardened against prototype pollution (a `__proto__`/`constructor` path segment never mutates `Object.prototype`, and keys shadowing built-ins like `toString` now round-trip correctly instead of misparsing). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression/headroom-smartcrusher.test.ts` (deep-nested + prototype-pollution cases).
+- **feat(providers):** Add GPT-5.6 support across OpenAI API, Codex, and ChatGPT Web, including Codex Max/Ultra efforts, VS Code metadata, Fast-tier credit accounting, curated live discovery, the Codex 0.144.1 client identity, and correct chat routing for models that also support image generation ([#6862](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6862)) - thanks @backryun
+- **chore(providers):** Align emitted Claude Code identity headers, bridge fingerprints, provider profiles, and documented defaults with claude-cli 2.1.207 ([#6862](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6862)) - thanks @backryun
+
+### 🐛 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(dashboard):** the Proxy Registry settings page crashed at runtime (`ReferenceError: poolLoaded/bulkImportOpen is not defined`) — the #6625/#6909 hook-extraction refactors deleted 10 state declarations (`poolLoaded`, `poolSaving`, and the 8-member bulk-import family) while ~30 usages remained; all restored (caught by the release E2E; `typecheck:core` does not cover dashboard TSX — follow-up #7021). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(combo):** `comboStickyRoundRobinLimit` now defaults to inherit (`null`) instead of `1` — the literal default silently shadowed the documented batched round-robin rotation (`stickyRoundRobinLimit: 3`), flipping every round-robin combo to per-request alternation (#6678 follow-up, caught by the release CI). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(ws):** the standalone LiveWS startup script exited 0 without ever listening — its bootstrapped child re-spawned with the import-suppressor `OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS=0` and then honored it as an operator disable (#6072 follow-up, caught by the release CI). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(api):** compression PUT schema accepts every catalog engine. ([#6792](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6792) — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch)

+- **fix(providers):** enrich the model_cooldown 429 body with a `retry_after` ISO timestamp + credential count. ([#6460](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6460), [#6523](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6523) — thanks @chirag127)

+- **fix(oauth):** Trae OAuth client_id embedded via `resolvePublicCred()` (Hard Rule #11). ([#6870](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6870) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(sse):** combo path no longer trips the whole-provider breaker on a plain 429. ([#6868](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6868) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** malformed JSON bodies now return 400 instead of 500. ([#6871](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6871) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(fusion):** judge selected from a surviving panel member when no explicit judge is configured. ([#6869](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6869) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(sse):** combo model lockout honors the parsed upstream quota reset. ([#6863](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6863), [#6866](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6866) — thanks @AgentKiller45)
+- **fix(dashboard):** logs detail modal no longer reopens on first close. ([#6830](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6830) — thanks @MikeTuev)
+- **fix(usage):** honor xAI provider-reported exact cost. ([#6711](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6711) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(kiro):** probe IdC region during profileArn discovery, cross-region (recovers #6099). ([#6840](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6840) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(antigravity):** sanitize Cloud Code safety settings. ([#6839](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6839) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(translator):** defer `content_block_start` until GLM streams the tool name. ([#6730](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6730) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(translator):** strip empty `cloud_base_branch` from Cursor Subagent tool calls. ([#6729](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6729) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(antigravity):** surface aborted Gemini tool calls off `end_turn`. ([#6713](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6713) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(volcengine):** clamp Kimi `max_tokens` to the Ark endpoint cap. ([#6712](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6712) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(codex):** surface capacity errors embedded in 200-OK SSE streams. ([#6710](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6710) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(sse):** skip `thinkingConfig` for gemma models in openai→gemini translation. ([#6708](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6708) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(oauth):** avoid bare-email dedup of Codex OAuth logins. ([#6706](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6706) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(sse):** unwrap bare `{function:{…}}` tools in openai→claude translation. ([#6704](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6704) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(db):** eliminate a redundant `getApiKeyMetadata` call in the embeddings route. ([#6929](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6929) — thanks @oyi77)
+- **fix(db):** `authType` filter support in `getProviderConnections`. ([#6946](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6946) — thanks @oyi77)
+- **fix(i18n):** the provider-detail (`/dashboard/providers/[id]`) visibility + free/paid model filter labels (`showVisibleOnly`, `showHiddenOnly`, `freeFilterAll`, `freeFilterFreeOnly`, `freeFilterPaidOnly`, `hideAllModels`, plus the currently-unused `filterVisible`/`filterHidden`/`filterByVisibility`) rendered as the literal `__MISSING__:<english>` sentinel in 15 locales, including pt-BR ([#6694](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6694)) — `providerText()` (`providerPageHelpers.ts`) checks `t.has(key)` before falling back to clean English, and `t.has()` returns `true` even when the stored value is the `__MISSING__:` sentinel `scripts/i18n/sync-ui-keys.mjs` writes when mirroring keys across locales, so the sentinel rendered verbatim instead of the fallback. Disjoint key set from #6290 (`filterAll`/`filterActive`/`filterError`/`filterBanned`/`filterCreditsExhausted`). All 9 keys now carry real translations across the 15 affected locale files (`it`, `ja`, `ko`, `mr`, `ms`, `nl`, `no`, `phi`, `pl`, `pt`, `pt-BR`, `ro`, `ru`, `sk`, `sv`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-provider-visibility-filter-keys-6694.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(cli):** the dashboard's Claude Code CLI card could report "Not detected"/"Not installed" even when Claude Code was genuinely installed and previously used ([#6701](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6701)) — `getCliRuntimeStatus()` (`src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts`) determined `installed` purely from binary resolution (known install paths + a `where`/`which` PATH search), with no fallback when that lookup fails for reasons unrelated to whether the CLI is actually installed (stale PATH inherited by a long-running/background process, the binary having moved, an install method not yet catalogued, etc.) — even though `~/.claude/settings.json` on disk proves the tool was installed and used before. Upstream 9router's equivalent route already has this exact fallback. A new `withSettingsFallback()` (`src/shared/services/cliInstallFallback.ts`) restores 9router parity: when the binary lookup's own reason is `"not_found"` (never for deliberate security rejections like unsafe/relative env overrides or symlink escapes) and the tool's settings file exists on disk, `installed` now reports `true`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6701-claude-detect-fallback.test.ts`.
+- **fix(cli):** per-agent AgentBridge DNS toggle was broken for 8 of the 9 supported agents, and a failed MITM startup step could orphan the spawned proxy child — `addDNSEntry`/`removeDNSEntry` (`src/mitm/dns/dnsConfig.ts`) always resolved the legacy Antigravity default hosts regardless of which agent's toggle was flipped, so enabling DNS for Cursor/Codex/Claude Code/etc. silently added only `daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com` while the DB recorded `dns_enabled=true` for the selected agent. Both functions now accept an optional `agentId` and resolve hosts via `ALL_TARGETS`; `POST /api/tools/agent-bridge/agents/[id]/dns` passes the route's `id` through and now returns 404 for an id that doesn't match a known target instead of silently falling back. Separately, `startMitmInternal()` (`src/mitm/manager.ts`) now wraps `generateCert()` (log + rethrow), the `provisionDnsEntries()` call, and the PID-file write in try/catch so a mid-startup failure can't orphan the already-spawned MITM child process. On Windows, `addDNSEntries`/`removeDNSEntries` also batch every missing/present entry into a single elevated PowerShell invocation instead of one UAC prompt per host line. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dns-config-generic.test.ts` (agent-specific resolution + batching), `tests/unit/agent-bridge-dns-route-validation.test.ts` (404 for unknown agent id). ([#6338](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6338) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **fix(guardrails):** Vision Bridge's individual-model auto-reroute (route an image-bearing request straight to a vision-capable model instead of describe-then-forward) could bypass a policy-restricted API key's model allowlist/budget ([#6640](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6640)) — `VisionBridgeGuardrail.preCall()` (`src/lib/guardrails/visionBridge.ts`) swaps `body.model` to the best available vision-capable model, but that swap happens in the guardrail pipeline AFTER `chat.ts` already called `enforceApiKeyPolicy()` against the ORIGINAL model, so a key scoped to a narrow `allowedModels` list could still execute against an unvetted (and possibly costlier) vision model the reroute picked. `chat.ts` now re-validates any guardrail-driven model change against the same per-key allowlist (`isModelAllowedForKey`) before honoring it, falling back to the original already-approved model when the reroute target is not allowed. The reroute path also now honors an explicit `settings.visionBridgeModel` operator override (previously ignored, unlike the combo/describe path a few lines below it, which already respects it via `getVisionBridgeConfig`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/guardrails/visionBridge.test.ts` (22 tests). (thanks @herjarsa)
+- **fix(auth):** an API key restricted via `allowedModels`/`allowedCombos` could bypass that restriction entirely over the Codex Responses-over-WebSocket bridge ([#6564](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6564)) — `prepare()` in `src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts` authenticated the WS bridge's API key (`authenticate()`/`authorizeWebSocketHandshake()`) and honored `allowedConnections`, but never called `enforceApiKeyPolicy()`, the same model/combo policy gate the HTTP `/v1/responses` path enforces via `handleChat()` — so a key scoped to e.g. `combo/model-1.0` could still reach a direct Codex model like `gpt-5.5` through this transport, as long as an eligible Codex OAuth connection existed. The bridge's WS auth token arrives via query params (`api_key`/`token`/`access_token`), not a normal `Authorization` header, so a new `enforceCodexWsApiKeyPolicy()` builds an equivalent `Request` carrying an explicit `Authorization: Bearer <apiKey>` header and calls `enforceApiKeyPolicy()` against the CLIENT-requested model, before any Codex-specific model remapping or credential selection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-ws-policy-enforcement-6564.test.ts` (a model-restricted key is rejected 403 before reaching credential selection; a combo-restricted key is rejected 403 requesting a disallowed combo; a key that DOES allow the requested model still proceeds past policy). (thanks @Squawk7777 for the report and an independent fix via #6565)
+- **fix(security):** loopback-gate `/api/middleware/*` so a leaked JWT over a tunnel can't install or trigger a middleware hook — middleware hooks compile + run arbitrary JS via `new vm.Script` on the request hot path (`src/lib/middleware/registry.ts`), the same RCE class as the already-gated `/api/plugins/*`; `/api/middleware/` is now in `LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` so loopback enforcement runs unconditionally before any auth check (Hard Rules #15 + #17). Regression guard: `tests/unit/route-guard-middleware-local-only.test.ts`. ([#6541](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6541)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(startup):** AgentBridge's MITM server no longer fails to start with `ROUTER_API_KEY is required` on a normal install ([#6403](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6403)) — `POST /api/tools/agent-bridge/server` resolved the spawned MITM child's router key from only an explicit `apiKey` body field (never sent by the AgentBridge UI — the schema has no such field) and the `ROUTER_API_KEY` env var (unset by default), so `startMitm()` always received `""` and the child hard-exited, even though OmniRoute already had a usable API key in its own DB. A new `resolveRouterApiKey()` now falls back to `pickApiKeyForInternalUse()` (the same DB-backed selector the combo-health-check / cloud-sync internal probes use), resolving in order: explicit key → `ROUTER_API_KEY` env → an existing DB key. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentbridge-mitm-router-key-6403.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** deploying a Cloudflare relay Worker from Dashboard → System → Proxy pool → Cloudflare relay failed immediately with `Cloudflare Worker upload failed: Content-Type must be one of: application/javascript, text/javascript, multipart/form-data`, even with a valid token/account ([#6416](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6416)) — the Worker-script upload built a native `FormData` and let `fetch` derive the multipart Content-Type automatically, but in production `globalThis.fetch` is patched with `node_modules/undici`'s own fetch (`open-sse/utils/proxyFetch.ts`), whose `FormData`/`Request` classes differ from the runtime's global `FormData` (same cross-realm class mismatch already fixed once for image edits in #3273); passing a native `FormData` instance through undici's patched fetch made it serialize the body as the literal string `"[object FormData]"` with `Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8`, which Cloudflare rejects outright. `buildCloudflareWorkerUploadRequest()` (`src/lib/proxyRelay/cloudflareWorkerScript.ts`) now builds the multipart body as a raw `Buffer` with an explicit boundary and `Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=…` header, accepted verbatim by any fetch implementation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloudflare-worker-upload-content-type-6416.test.ts` + updated `tests/unit/relay-deploy-5128.test.ts`.
+- **fix(security):** SSRF-guard the provider-validation probes so they can no longer be used as an open relay to cloud-metadata endpoints — `directHttpsRequest()` (web-cookie / NVIDIA / Z.AI validation, all with a caller-controllable `baseUrl`) ran with `guard:"none"` + `allowRedirect:true`; it now applies `getProviderValidationGuard()` (default `block-metadata`: LAN/localhost allowed, `169.254.169.254`/link-local IMDS rejected, opt-out via `OMNIROUTE_ALLOW_PRIVATE_PROVIDER_URLS`) and `allowRedirect:false` so a provider can't 3xx-redirect the probe to metadata past the initial-URL guard. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-validation-ssrf-guard.test.ts`. ([#6542](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6542)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(startup):** AgentBridge's MITM proxy served a mismatched cert for 3 of the 4 antigravity/cloudcode-pa hosts it terminates TLS for, breaking interception ([#6494](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6494)) — `src/mitm/server.cjs`'s `TARGET_HOSTS` decrypts all 4 hosts locally (`daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`, `cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`, `daily-cloudcode-pa.sandbox.googleapis.com`, `autopush-cloudcode-pa.sandbox.googleapis.com`), but `src/mitm/cert/generate.ts`'s self-signed cert only carried a SAN entry for the first host — a request to any of the other 3 got served a cert whose CN/SAN didn't match (confirmed via `curl -k https://cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com/` showing `CN=daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`). `generateCert()` now sources its host list from `ANTIGRAVITY_TARGET.hosts` (`src/mitm/targets/antigravity.ts`, the single authoritative registry already kept in lock-step with `server.cjs`/`dnsConfig.ts`/`mitmToolHosts.ts` by their own drift tests) and emits a SAN entry for all 4 hosts instead of hard-coding a second, incomplete copy. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentbridge-antigravity-cert-hosts-6494.test.ts` (asserts the host list covers all 4 hosts and that the real generated cert's SAN includes each one).
+- **fix(resilience):** a `priority` combo never fell back when a target masked credit/quota exhaustion behind an HTTP 200 ([#6427](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6427)) — `validateResponseQuality()` (`open-sse/services/combo/validateQuality.ts`) only inspected the response body's top-level `error` field when `choices` was ALSO missing/empty (the narrower #3424 empty-completion case); a masked 200 that echoed a non-empty stub `choices` alongside a structured error object, or a known exhaustion phrase (e.g. "insufficient credits", "quota exceeded") in the error envelope, slipped through as "valid" and the combo kept returning the dead target's response forever instead of failing over. The quality check now inspects the error envelope — a top-level OpenAI-shape `error` object, or a bounded, case-insensitive exhaustion-phrase match against `error.message`/`error.code`/`error.type`/top-level `message`/`detail` — unconditionally, before any shape-specific branch, and regardless of whether `choices`/`output` also look structurally present. The check never inspects `choices[].message.content`, so a legitimate completion that merely mentions "quota" or "credits" in assistant prose is not misclassified. Regression guard: `tests/unit/masked-200-exhaustion-fallback-6427.test.ts`.
+- **fix(security):** fail-closed CORS for the cookie/session-authed cloud-agent management routes — `getCloudAgentCorsHeaders()` reflected any caller's `Origin` and paired it with `Allow-Credentials: true` (a CSRF/exfil hole); it now defers to the central allowlist (`resolveAllowedOrigin`), echoes only an allowlisted origin with `Vary: Origin`, and emits `Allow-Credentials` only for an explicitly allowlisted origin — never for a `CORS_ALLOW_ALL` wildcard echo. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloud-agent-cors-failclosed.test.ts`. ([#6543](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6543)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(compression):** adaptive-compression ladder ranked 6 real catalog engines (`ccr`, `ionizer`, `relevance`, `llmlingua`, `llm`, `read-lifecycle`) as if they didn't exist ([#6533](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6533)) — `ladder.ts`'s `AGGRESSIVENESS` and `REDUCTION_FACTOR` maps only covered the 7 engines wired into `DEFAULT_LADDER` (session-dedup/rtk/headroom/lite/caveman/aggressive/ultra); every other engine registered in `open-sse/services/compression/engines/index.ts` — including `ccr`/`llmlingua`, which the ladder doc comment already says are intentionally addable via `ladderOverride` — fell through to `aggressivenessOf()`'s `?? 0` default (same rank as `"off"`) and `expectedReductionFactor()`'s generic `?? 0.9` fallback, so `floor`-mode escalation could not rank or escalate past them once added to a custom ladder. Both maps now carry entries for all 6 missing real engines, rescaled ×10 (`off:0` … `ultra:70`) and placed by each engine's documented `stackPriority` (`ionizer` between `rtk`/`headroom`, `relevance` before `caveman`, `llmlingua`/`llm` between `aggressive` and `ultra`, etc.); `mcpAccessibility` — named in the report — is not a registered `CompressionEngine` (it's a separate MCP tool-response truncation mechanism) and was correctly left out. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ladder-engine-maps-6533.test.ts` (asserts every id from `listCompressionEngines()` ranks above `"off"` with a non-default reduction factor). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** tool-call arguments could render as `[object Object]` sequences instead of the real JSON through the `/anthropic` (Anthropic-shape `/messages`) routing path ([#6459](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6459)) — `appendToolCallArgumentDelta()` (`open-sse/utils/toolCallArguments.ts`), the shared accumulator the streaming `openai-to-claude` response translator, `openai-responses` translator, and `responsesTransformer` all call to build up a tool call's `arguments`/`input_json_delta` buffer, treated any non-string `incoming` fragment as an empty string. Some upstreams deliver the full `tool_calls[].function.arguments` value as an already-parsed JSON object/array instead of the OpenAI-contracted JSON-encoded string; the old code silently discarded that fragment, leaving `tool_use.input` empty, and left downstream buffers open to a plain string coercion of the object (`[object Object]`) once client-side concatenation kicked in. `appendToolCallArgumentDelta()` now `JSON.stringify()`s a non-string, non-null object/array fragment into a valid JSON fragment instead of dropping it, so the assembled `partial_json` always parses back into the original structured value. Regression guard: `tests/unit/anthropic-toolcall-args-6459.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(providers):** `fusion` combo returned the opaque `"All fusion panel models failed"` 503 even when only a minority of panel members were actually cooling down / rate-limited, and a user-supplied `fusionTuning.minPanel=1` was silently overridden ([#6454](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6454)) — `handleFusionChat()` hard-clamped the quorum floor via `Math.min(Math.max(2, cfg.minPanel), panel.length)`, so an operator-configured `minPanel=1` never took effect: `collectPanel()`'s straggler-grace timer only starts once `ok >= minPanel`, and with the floor forced to 2 a single fast success plus N slow-failing stragglers never reached quorum, so the panel sat waiting instead of degrading to the survivor. Per-member failure reasons (`straggler_dropped`/`timeout`/`threw`/`status_XXX`/`empty_content`/`unparseable`) were also logged server-side but never surfaced in the 503 body, leaving operators unable to tell a rate-limit fan-fail from a broader outage. Fixed by honoring `Math.max(1, cfg.minPanel)` and threading a `failures: Array<{ model, reason }>` collector into the 503 message (`model=reason` per entry) — production fix already merged via #6521; this entry backfills the missing CHANGELOG bullet and adds an 11-member, `fusion-free`-scale regression test matching the original repro shape (a cooling minority must not sink a healthy majority; a genuinely all-failed panel still returns the documented 503). Regression guard: `tests/unit/services/fusion-min-panel-and-failure-detail.test.ts` + `tests/unit/fusion-partial-panel-failure-6454.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(providers):** `fusion` combo strategy silently returned a panel member's raw answer instead of the configured `config.judgeModel` synthesis ([#6455](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6455)) — `handleFusionChat()`'s single-survivor "degrade gracefully" path (added for #6454) returned the lone panel answer directly whenever only one panelist succeeded, regardless of whether an explicit `judgeModel` was configured; with the default `minPanel: 2` and a 2-model panel, any single flaky/rate-limited panelist forced this path on every request, so the configured judge (e.g. `auto/claude-opus`) was never invoked and the client-visible `.model` reflected whichever panelist happened to survive. The judge is now still invoked to synthesize a lone surviving answer whenever `judgeModel` is explicitly configured; the cheap direct-answer shortcut is kept only for the implicit case (no `judgeModel` set, where the "judge" is just `panel[0]`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/fusion-judge-model-6455.test.ts` + updated `tests/unit/combo-fusion-strategy.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(combo):** sanitized diagnostic trace on an auto-combo terminal failure — instead of an opaque 503, a terminal combo failure now returns a whitelist-projected trace (candidate pool size, attempted count, excluded provider/reason codes, attempt order, and a terminal-reason code) via the new `errorResponseWithComboDiagnostics()`/`sanitizeComboDiagnostics()` in `open-sse/utils/error.ts` — provider/model ids and enumerated reason codes only, never keys/tokens/bodies, length- and count-capped. A reasoning-budget-exhausted panel now returns an actionable "increase max_tokens" message rather than a blind retry-limit 503. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-diagnostics-trace.test.ts`. ([#6545](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6545)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** image/diffusion models discovered from an upstream catalog (e.g. HuggingFace's live `/v1/models`) are no longer advertised as chat models ([#6457](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6457)) — the chat catalog builder defaulted synced models with no modality info to `endpoints: ["chat"]`, so `huggingface/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0` showed up in the chat `/v1/models` listing and returned `400 "not a chat model"` when called. `catalog.ts` now skips any synced model already registered as an image model for that provider (via the new `isRegisteredImageModel()`), leaving `getAllImageModels()` to list it with the correct `type: "image"`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/image-model-not-in-chat-catalog-6457.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** combo session stickiness never released a pin on a credits-exhausted/banned/expired account, permanently defeating failover for that conversation ([#6692](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6692)) — `applySessionStickiness()` (`open-sse/services/combo/sessionStickiness.ts`) gated the sticky pin only on 5h/weekly usage-percentage headroom, which is orthogonal to account availability: a `credits_exhausted`/`banned`/`expired` connection, or one still inside its `rateLimitedUntil` cooldown, reports perfectly healthy headroom, so the pin was force-promoted back to the front of the target list on every subsequent turn. `clearStickyBinding()` also had zero call sites in `combo.ts`'s failure paths, so a quality-validation-rejected 200 (a masked daily-cap refusal) never released the pin either. The gate now also resolves the bound connection's terminal status/cooldown via a new injectable fetcher seam (fail-open on lookup errors, mirroring the existing saturation fetcher), and `combo.ts`'s two dispatchers (`handleComboChat`/`handleRoundRobinCombo`) release the pin immediately at both their connection-exhaustion classification point and their quality-validation-failure branch via the new `releaseStickyPinOnFailure()`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6692-sticky-terminal.test.ts` + extended `tests/unit/combo-session-stickiness.test.ts`.
+- **fix(test):** replace the bare `expect(true).toBe(true)` tautology in `playground-api-tab.test.tsx`'s SSE test and close the `check:test-masking` gap that let it slip through for a full cycle ([#6404](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6404)) — a prior pass (#6548) had already swapped the literal to `expect(sendBtn).toBeDefined()`, but that stayed just as vacuous: the test's fetch mock returned an empty `/v1/models` list, so `ApiTab`'s Send button is always `disabled` (`!selectedModel`) and the SSE branch never runs — the "SSE infra is verified" comment was never true. The test now mocks a real model, drives the model `<select>` to enable Send, asserts `sendBtn.disabled === false` before clicking, and asserts the streamed SSE delta (`"Hello!"`) actually reached the response editor. Root cause on the detector side: `check-test-masking.mjs`'s tautology subcheck only compares base-vs-HEAD counts within a PR's own diff (`headExtTaut > baseExtTaut`) and no-ops locally when `GITHUB_BASE_SHA`/`GITHUB_BASE_REF` are unset ("sem base ref — pulando") — so a tautology merged once, or checked with a bare local run, was invisible forever after. Added a new always-on, PR-independent absolute-floor scan (`scanBareTautologies` + `countBareTautologies`) over every git-tracked test file for the bare `expect(true).toBe(true)` / `assert.equal(1,1)` / `assert.strictEqual(1,1)` patterns specifically (deliberately excluding `assert.ok(true)`, which has ~15 pre-existing verified-legitimate try/catch-fallback uses repo-wide and stays governed by the lenient diff-only subcheck) — verified zero pre-existing hits repo-wide once this file was fixed, so the new floor is safe to enforce unconditionally. Regression guard: `tests/unit/check-test-masking.test.ts` (new `scanBareTautologies`/`countBareTautologies` cases) + `tests/unit/ui/playground-api-tab.test.tsx`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(oauth):** Codex/ChatGPT (and every other OAuth provider) connection stays stuck showing "Auth Failed" even after a genuinely successful token refresh ([#6352](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6352)) — `updateProviderCredentials()` (the shared `onPersist` callback for the manual "Refresh token" route, the reactive per-request refresh in `chat.ts`, and the Codex/Claude auth-file importers) correctly reused the stored `refresh_token`, persisted the new `access_token`, and replaced a rotated `refresh_token`, but never cleared the stale `testStatus`/`lastError*`/`errorCode` fields left over from a prior expired/invalid refresh or upstream 401/403 — only the separate background health-check sweep did that clearing. A successful refresh now resets `testStatus` to `"active"` and clears `lastError`, `lastErrorAt`, `lastErrorType`, `lastErrorSource`, and `errorCode` (an explicit `testStatus` from the caller still wins). Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-oauth-refresh-persist-6352.test.ts`.
+- **perf(health):** short-TTL (1s) cache for the frequently-polled `GET /api/monitoring/health` payload — rebuilding it every request (DB reads + status aggregation across 8 subsystems) was wasteful under rapid polling; the cache stays near-real-time and is invalidated immediately on `DELETE` (circuit-breaker reset) so a manual reset is reflected at once. Regression guard: `tests/integration/monitoring-health-cache.test.ts`. ([#6553](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6553)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(resilience):** `headroom` combo routing did not always select the Codex account with the most free quota ([#6379](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6379)) — `orderTargetsByHeadroom` (`open-sse/services/combo/quotaStrategies.ts`) already loaded the per-connection DB snapshot (with decrypted credentials) via `expandTargetsByQuotaAwareConnections`, but discarded it before calling `getSaturation`; for Codex, `fetchCodexSaturation` forwards straight to `fetchCodexQuota(connectionId, connection)`, which needs `connection` (or a prior `registerCodexConnection()` call, which never happens before headroom ranking runs) to read `accessToken` — so it returned `null` for every candidate, saturation failed open to `0` across the board, and ranking fell back to the original combo order regardless of actual free quota. `getSaturation()` and the headroom `SaturationFetcher` seam now accept and thread the loaded connection snapshot through to `fetchCodexQuota`. Kilo's dup flag vs #5903 was a false positive — that issue is about session-sticky reset-aware/least-used selection, not headroom's Codex saturation lookup. Regression guard: `tests/unit/headroom-codex-quota-snapshot-6379.test.ts`. (thanks @eidoog)
+- **fix(providers):** custom models a provider actually has are no longer dropped from the Free Provider Rankings when both **"Configured only"** and **"Available only"** filters are applied ([#6368](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6368)), follow-up to #6150 — `freeProviderRankings.ts::getProviderModels()` only ever walked the static `open-sse/config/providerRegistry.ts` catalog, so a user-added custom model (e.g. a Puter `claude-fable-5` model saved as "Claude Fable 5") never entered the candidate model list the ranking scores against, and could never survive the #6150 configured/available filters even when actually configured and available. It now additively merges the provider's custom models (`db/models.ts::getCustomModels`) into that candidate list via a new pure, de-duping `mergeProviderModels()` helper, before scoring/filtering runs — catalog free/paid filtering elsewhere is untouched. Regression guard: `tests/unit/free-provider-rankings-custom-models-6368.test.ts`. (thanks @shabeer)
+- **fix(playground):** accept a valid dashboard session for `GET/POST /api/playground/presets` under `REQUIRE_API_KEY=true` — the Playground page calls this route with a cookie/session and no API key, which previously 401'd the authenticated dashboard; `checkAuth()` now accepts a management/dashboard session (`requireManagementAuth`) as an alternative to an API key, while a presented API key must still be valid and the anonymous-allowed default is preserved. Regression guard: `tests/integration/presets-dashboard-auth.test.ts`. ([#6554](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6554)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** `cloudflare-ai` no longer silently drops image/non-text content parts ([#6390](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6390)) — `transformRequest()`'s `flattenContent()` (added for #2539 to satisfy the Workers AI `/ai/v1/chat/completions` plain-string `content` requirement) mapped any non-text OpenAI content part (e.g. `image_url`) to `""` and joined the rest, so a request carrying an image quietly went out as text-only with the attachment gone and no error surfaced. It now throws a clear error on the first non-text part instead of dropping it silently, which the existing top-level `chatCore.ts` catch already routes through `buildErrorBody()`/`sanitizeErrorMessage()` (same pattern as `buildUrl()`'s missing-Account-ID error). Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloudflare-ai-image-parts-6390.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** stop Antigravity connections from falsely reporting **all-accounts quota-exhausted** ([#6295](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6295)) — `genericQuotaFetcher.ts::percentUsedForQuota()` ignored the `fractionReported` flag and defaulted an unreported model's `remainingPercentage` to 0, which computed as 100% used; since `convertUsageToQuotaInfo()` takes the worst-case window across a connection, a single model with no reported fraction dragged the whole account into `limitReached` and `quotaPreflight` skipped it. `percentUsedForQuota()` now returns `null` (unknown, window ignored) whenever `fractionReported === false`, before falling back to `remainingPercentage`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/generic-quota-fetcher.test.ts`.
+- **fix(fusion):** the fusion judge no longer replays a panel member's answer via an idempotency-key collision — fusion's panel + judge sub-requests re-enter `chatCore` sharing the client's headers, so they derived the same `Idempotency-Key`/`x-request-id` and a panel answer saved under the key was replayed by the judge's check ~1ms later (inside the 5s window), returning a panel member's answer instead of the judge synthesis (observed live on `nexa/conversation-fusion`). `composeIdempotencyKey()` now namespaces the key by target provider/model + a digest of the request messages, so sub-requests can't collide while a genuine client retry (same key/model/body) still replays. Regression guard: `tests/unit/idempotency-fusion-collision.test.ts`. ([#6558](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6558)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** grok-cli (Grok Build) now strips `reasoning_effort`/`reasoning` before forwarding the request ([#6288](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6288)) — Claude Code sends `reasoning_effort` on every request (routing the Opus slot), which Grok Build's upstream chat-proxy endpoint rejects with a 400; `transformRequest()`'s existing `UNSUPPORTED` sampling-param strip list (#5273) never covered it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/grok-cli-reasoning-strip-6288.test.ts`.
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute serve` no longer hangs silently on a readiness timeout ([#6321](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6321)) — the child server's stdout was piped to `"ignore"` whenever `--log`/`OMNIROUTE_SHOW_LOG` wasn't set (the default), discarding any debug output, and `runWithSupervisor`'s `waitForServer(...).then((up) => { if (up) {...} })` had no `else` branch, so a boot that never became ready produced zero further output after "⏳ Starting server...". Stdout is now buffered alongside stderr (`ServerSupervisor.getRecentLog()`), and a timeout prints a clear diagnostic plus the buffered output instead of staying silent. Does not by itself explain why boot never completes on a given machine — see the issue for further reproduction. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli-serve-readiness-timeout-6321.test.ts`.
+- **fix(pricing):** Pricing Sync dashboard no longer stuck on "Next Sync: Never" / "Synced Models: 0" ([#6325](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6325)) — `pricingSync.ts` kept sync state (`lastSyncTime`, `lastSyncModelCount`) in module-level vars, but the background periodic sync (`instrumentation-node.ts`) and the dashboard status route (`/api/pricing/sync`) each import the module from separate Next.js standalone webpack chunks, giving each its own independent state; `getSyncStatus()` read the (empty) API-route instance's vars. Sync status is now additionally persisted to a new `pricing_sync_status` `key_value` namespace and `getSyncStatus()` falls back to it when the local module instance never ran a sync itself. Regression guard: `tests/unit/pricing-sync-cross-instance.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** stop spuriously 403-ing "Invalid request origin" on `POST /api/providers/health-autopilot/actions` for Docker/LAN dashboard requests ([#6277](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6277)) — the route carried a duplicate per-route `validateBrowserMutationOrigin` check re-added by the v3.8.42 release squash after PR #5278 centralized origin enforcement in the authz pipeline; the pipeline strips `PEER_IP_HEADER` before forwarding, so the stale duplicate check could no longer resolve the LAN "direct-local-host" candidate and rejected legitimate same-origin LAN mutations (e.g. clicking "remove cooldown" when accessed via a LAN IP). Removed the duplicate check — origin validation is now solely enforced by the centralized pipeline check, which already handles this case correctly. Regression guard: `tests/unit/serial/provider-health-autopilot.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** a bare, unrecognized `403` from a no-credential (`authType:"none"`) provider like mimocode or theoldllm no longer permanently bans the connection ([#6315](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6315), [#6345](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6345)) — `classifyProviderError()`'s 403 branch only exempted `apikey` providers from the terminal `FORBIDDEN` classification, so these free/stateless proxies (no real account/credential to revoke) fell through to `FORBIDDEN` on the first unmatched 403 and got `isActive:false, testStatus:"banned"` with no cooldown or retry. The exemption now also covers `authType:"none"` providers, returning `null` (recoverable) so the existing connection-cooldown/retry layer handles it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/errorClassifier-noauth-403-6315.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** the **Auggie (Augment CLI)** executor no longer fails on Windows with `spawn EINVAL` ([#6304](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6304)) — the global-npm install exposes `auggie` as a `.cmd` shim, which Node's `child_process.spawn` cannot launch on win32 without `shell: true`. Both spawn sites (streaming + the `auggie --version` test) now go through a shared `buildAuggieSpawnOptions()` that sets `shell: process.platform === "win32"`; the argv (built by `buildAuggieArgs()` with a registry-validated `model` and a trailing `--` end-of-options marker) is unchanged, so the argument-injection surface stays closed on non-Windows. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auggie-win32-spawn-6304.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** the dashboard **"Test model"** action is now a clean connection test ([#6240](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6240)) — `modelTestRunner` sent its probe request without an explicit compression override, so whenever the operator's global `compression.enabled` flag was on the test call inherited compression (and any Output-Styles system prompt), polluting the result. The internal test requests now send `X-OmniRoute-Compression: off`, and `chatCore` honors an explicit `off` header even when `compression.enabled` is globally true. Regression guards: `tests/unit/model-test-runner-compression-off-6240.test.ts`, `tests/integration/test-model-compression-off-6240.test.ts`.
+- **fix(startup):** an update/restart could crash the whole server at boot with `TypeError: Cannot create property 'message' on string 'Database closed'`, masking the real failure and 500-ing every request until manually restarted ([#6560](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6560), plausibly the root cause of #6594's post-upgrade 500) — `driverFactory.ts::preInitSqlJs()` cached its sql.js WASM adapter per file path in a `globalThis`-backed map for idempotency, but never checked whether the cached adapter had since been closed (e.g. by `gracefulShutdown`/`resetDbInstance` racing a reload); reusing that dead handle made the very next query throw sql.js's own bare string `"Database closed"` (not an `Error`) straight out of `instrumentation-node.ts`'s previously-unguarded `ensureDbInitialized()` call, and Next.js's internal `registerInstrumentation()` wrapper unconditionally does `err.message = ...` on whatever `register()` rejects with — assigning `.message` on a primitive string throws in strict mode, so the secondary `TypeError` is what actually crashed the process. Fixed in two parts: `preInitSqlJs()` now evicts a closed cached adapter and creates a fresh one instead of returning it; a new `ensureDbReadyForBoot()` wraps the DB-init call, normalizes any non-Error throw via `normalizeBootError()`, and retries once specifically for a transient "database closed" message (now succeeding against the fresh adapter) before re-throwing anything else as a real `Error`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/instrumentation-database-closed-6560.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/keys` no longer hangs 20–90+ seconds on a fresh install, even with valid auth ([#6570](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6570)) — `cloudEnabled` defaults to `true` in `src/lib/db/settings.ts::getSettings()` on any install with no persisted settings row (i.e. every fresh install), so the create-key handler's unconditional `await syncKeysToCloudIfEnabled()` always attempted a real outbound `fetch()` to `CLOUD_URL` via `syncToCloud()`; when that endpoint is unset/unreachable/slow, the HTTP response blocked until the request settled or timed out — unlike sibling routes (`POST /api/keys/:id/regenerate`, `GET /api/combos`), which never touch this side effect at all. `src/app/api/keys/route.ts` now dispatches `syncKeysToCloudIfEnabled()` fire-and-forget (`void`) instead of awaiting it; its internal try/catch already logs failures, so cloud sync still runs, it just no longer blocks the response. Regression guard: `tests/unit/api-keys-create-no-hang-6570.test.ts` (asserts the route resolves in well under 2s even when the Cloud-sync `fetch()` is stubbed to never settle) + updated `tests/integration/api-keys.test.ts` (the pre-existing "triggers cloud sync"/"still succeeds when cloud sync fails" tests, which previously hung indefinitely on this exact path, now await the fire-and-forget sync tick before asserting).
+- **fix(api):** editing any existing OpenAI Codex provider connection in the dashboard returned "Invalid request" and the edit could never be saved ([#6562](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6562)) — `createProviderConnection()` (`src/lib/db/providers.ts`) auto-increments a new connection's `priority` to `MAX(priority)+1` per provider with no upper bound, and OAuth-imported connections (Codex `codex-auth/import` / `import-bulk`, up to 50 accounts per call, callable repeatedly — the standard Codex bulk-account-rotation workflow) never pass through `createProviderSchema`'s Zod validation at all, so nothing ever capped that value; `EditConnectionModal`'s `handleSubmit` always resends the connection's current `priority` unchanged on every save, and `updateProviderConnectionSchema` capped `priority`/`globalPriority` at `max(100)` — a UI-only ceiling the create path never enforced — so the first edit of any connection whose priority had already grown past 100 (routine once a Codex account count exceeds 100) failed validation regardless of which field the user actually changed. Raised the ceiling to `max(100_000)` on both fields — still bounded (a genuinely out-of-range value is still rejected), just wide enough to accept priorities the app itself already produces. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-connection-edit-6562.test.ts` (a Codex OAuth connection whose priority already exceeds the old 100 cap now validates + persists on edit; a control payload with a still-genuinely-invalid priority is still rejected with "Invalid request").
+- **mimocode**: rotate accounts on MiMoCode's rate-limit-style 400s (body-classified) instead of failing on the first account; malformed 400s still fail fast with the real upstream error (#6648 — thanks @pizzav-xyz)
+- **fix(cli):** compression CLI REST fallback now reads/writes the canonical `defaultMode` field (surfaced as `strategy`) instead of a nonexistent `engine` key, and table output renders nested objects as JSON instead of `[object Object]` (#6571 — thanks @charleszolot)
+- **fix(providers):** web-cookie providers without a `providerRegistry.ts` entry (`lmarena`, `gemini-business`, `poe-web`, `venice-web`, `v0-vercel-web`) now report `unsupported: true` instead of silently "OK" ([#6309](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6309)) — `validateWebCookieProvider()` (`src/lib/providers/validation.ts`) previously required a registry entry and returned "Provider not found in registry" for these; a fallback to `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS[provider].website` was proposed, but live verification showed the `${website}/models` probe does not reliably signal session validity for these providers (redirects/SPA 200s regardless of cookie validity — e.g. lmarena's real API is `arena.ai`, not `lmarena.ai`; Poe's real endpoint is a GraphQL POST, not a REST `/models`), so it would report an expired or garbage cookie as valid. Until each provider has a verified, side-effect-free auth probe against its real API host, the fallback now returns `unsupported` (no network call) instead of a false positive. Regression guard: `tests/unit/web-cookie-validation-fallback.test.ts`. (thanks @oyi77)
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/middleware/hooks` and `PUT /api/middleware/hooks/[name]` no longer leak raw internal error messages in their 500 responses (#6645 — thanks @chirag127) — both catch blocks returned `error?.message` directly (Hard Rule #12), which could surface internal SQLite path fragments on a DB failure; both now route through `sanitizeErrorMessage()` from `open-sse/utils/error.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/middleware-hooks-error-sanitization.test.ts`.
+- **fix(docker):** compile better-sqlite3 for the server Docker image (Dokploy/self-hosted builds) via a direct `node-gyp rebuild` inside `node_modules/better-sqlite3`, instead of `npm rebuild better-sqlite3` ([#6700](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6700)) — the `builder` stage installs dependencies with `npm ci --ignore-scripts` (deliberate: closes the supply-chain surface where a transitive dep's install script runs arbitrary code) and re-enables the native build for the one package that needs it; `npm rebuild <pkg>` re-runs that indirectly through the package's own install script, which under npm 11 depends on npm's script-allowlist machinery correctly re-enabling it — some self-hosted build environments (e.g. Dokploy) hit a broken/mismatched native binding through that indirection. Invoking `node-gyp rebuild` directly bypasses npm's script-running layer entirely and is deterministic regardless of npm version. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dockerfile-better-sqlite3-node-gyp-6700.test.ts`. (thanks @nowhats-br)
+- **fix(providers):** the Cloudflare relay Worker deploy fix in #6416/#6618 still failed uploads in practice — it changed the multipart Content-Type but kept the emitted worker source as an ES module (`export default { fetch(...) }`) with `main_module` metadata; Cloudflare's Workers upload API parses a plain `application/javascript` script part as Service Worker syntax regardless of the `main_module` metadata field, and `main_module` requires the script to actually be an ES module (top-level `export`), so the mismatch still rejected the upload ([#6496](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6496)). `buildCloudflareWorkerScript()` (`src/lib/proxyRelay/cloudflareWorkerScript.ts`) now emits Service Worker syntax (`addEventListener("fetch", ...)`, no top-level `export`) and the upload metadata uses `body_part` instead of `main_module`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/relay-deploy-5128.test.ts` (asserts the emitted script has no `export default`, registers a `fetch` listener, and the upload metadata carries `body_part`/omits `main_module`; also proves the inlined `isPrivateHostname()` SSRF guard still rejects bracketed IPv6 loopback/ULA hosts like `[::1]`/`[fd00::1]` after the script-body rewrite). (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **fix(providers):** ChatGPT Web (`chatgpt-web`) responses rendered raw ChatGPT UI citation markup — private-use marker tokens (e.g. `citeturn0search0`) and `url…` inline-link markers — instead of real Markdown links, since these only ever get resolved client-side by chatgpt.com's own JS using `message.metadata.content_references` ([#6635](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6635)) — `cleanChatGptText()` now resolves `content_references` (grouped webpages, footnote sources, inline `webpage`/`url` mentions) into `[label](url)` Markdown links for both the streaming and non-streaming response builders, and for the GPT-5.5 Pro `stream_handoff` polled-answer path, falling back to stripping any marker that has no resolvable source instead of leaking the raw private-use bytes. The citation parsing/rendering logic was extracted into a new pure sibling module (`open-sse/executors/chatgpt-web/citations.ts`) to keep the executor under the frozen file-size cap. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chatgpt-web-citations.test.ts` (non-streaming citation resolution, streaming marker buffering across split SSE chunks, and the Pro-handoff polled-answer path). (thanks @Thinkscape)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the live-dashboard WebSocket descriptor handshake (`GET /api/v1/ws?handshake=1`) and the lightweight `GET /api/health/ping` liveness probe both 401'd for unauthenticated callers, even though both are metadata-only reads intended to be public ([#6335](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6335)) — `clientApiPolicy` required a bearer/dashboard-session before the WS route handler could even return its own `wsAuth`/protocol descriptor, and `/api/health/ping` was never added to `PUBLIC_READONLY_API_ROUTE_PREFIXES` despite its own docstring documenting it as "No auth required." `clientApiPolicy.evaluate()` now allows an anonymous `{kind:"anonymous", id:"ws-handshake"}` subject for GET/HEAD/OPTIONS on `/api/v1/ws?handshake=1` (the route handler still performs its own real wsAuth/dashboard/API-key decision before opening the socket), and `/api/health/ping` is now in `PUBLIC_READONLY_API_ROUTE_PREFIXES`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/authz/client-api-policy.test.ts` (WS handshake allowed, including relative request URLs), `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`, and `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts` (`/api/health/ping` classified `PUBLIC`). (thanks @JxnLexn)
+- fix(providers): wire the Devin cloud-agent provider into the generic provider-page validator and static model catalog, matching the existing `jules` cloud-agent pattern (#6142)
+- fix(providers): honor a provider-level proxy assigned to no-auth providers like MiMoCode Free (#6272)
+- fix(api): merge tool_call continuation deltas that carry only `id` (no `index`) so tool-call arguments are no longer split/lost in request/response logs (#6276)
+- **fix(providers):** modernize the `lmarena` provider for the Arena.ai rebrand — route chat through `arena.ai` create-evaluation with Chrome TLS impersonation, seed a static Direct-chat Text/Search + Image catalog, and keep the `lmarena`/`lma` wire id for back-compat ([#6280](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6280)) — thanks @backryun
+- **fix(providers):** web-provider model discovery updated — qwen-web uses the slash-terminated models endpoint (avoiding a blocked 307 redirect), and kimi-web matches the current request shape (POST with bearer + `kimi-auth` cookie replay) with its catalog refreshed to the current non-agent models (#6308 — thanks @janeza2).
+- **fix(logs):** the request-log detail modal no longer reopens by itself after being closed — a stale in-flight detail refresh resolved after close and re-triggered the modal open state (#6323 — thanks @xz-dev).
+- **fix(providers):** update SenseNova Token Plan support — register the token-plan model ids/constants and adjust the SenseNova registry so token-plan accounts route correctly (#6330 — thanks @xz-dev).
+- fix(providers): give v0-vercel-web its own alias so its credentials are detected (#6343)
+- fix(providers): route AgentRouter key validation through the CC wire image so a valid key no longer 403s as "Invalid API key" (#6377)
+- fix(db): stop legacy log-archive migration from deleting the live app-logger directory and crashing startup on a stat/stream race (#6401, #6799)
+- fix(docs): document Turbopack build memory tradeoff and `OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=0` webpack fallback for RAM-constrained machines (#6409)
+- fix(compression): surface silently-dropped stacked-pipeline steps (session-dedup, ccr) and stop the aggregate inflation guard from misfiring on a genuine no-op (#6479, #6480, #6491)
+- fix(providers): honor the `max_token` capability override in the reasoning-token-buffer output cap (#6524)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the onboarding tier-flow diagram rendered broken — its SVGs lived in the repo-root `images/` (not a served path); moved to `public/images/` so Next.js serves them (#6538 — thanks @ianriizky).
+- **fix(routing):** the `auto` combo's no-auth candidate pool now honors a disabled provider connection's own `isActive=false` (the toggle on the main Providers grid card), not just the separate global `blockedProviders` setting — disabling opencode/mimocode/etc. via the grid toggle no longer leaves it in rotation ([#6557](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6557)).
+- **fix(sse):** server-tool literal names (e.g. `web_search`) are preserved in message history and `tool_choice` instead of being namespaced/rewritten, so follow-up turns referencing those tools keep working (#6586 — thanks @MikeTuev).
+- fix(api): recognize OpenRouter reasoning/reasoning_details in non-streaming OpenAI-to-Claude conversion (#6623)
+- fix(db): share one in-flight sql.js load across concurrent `preInitSqlJs()` callers to stop the boot-time thundering-herd re-decode of the whole database file (#6628)
+- fix(db): unwrap lone named-parameter objects before `sql.js` `stmt.bind()` so `@`/`:`/`$`-style named placeholders bind correctly instead of throwing "Wrong API use" (#6802)
+- **fix(db): break probe-failed/restore loop on large storage.sqlite** (#6632 — thanks @KooshaPari).
+- fix(ci): exclude check-test-masking.test.ts's own tautology fixtures from the diff-based test-masking gate and recognize `✗` in validate-release-green's failure-line detector (#6634)
+- fix(routing): recognize Kimi-style "exceeded model token limit" 400 as context overflow so combo fallback continues to the next target (#6637)
+- **fix(cli):** Claude Code installed via WinGet is now detected on Windows (the WinGet install path was missing from the binary lookup) (#6647 — thanks @enjoyer-hub).
+- **fix(providers):** removed obsolete/defunct providers from the catalog (glhf, kluster, cablyai, inclusionai) (#6675 — thanks @backryun).
+- **fix(sse):** requests rejected before `handleChatCore` (circuit-breaker/cooldown gate or combo with all targets exhausted) are now recorded in `usage_history` too, so a key whose traffic was entirely gate-rejected no longer shows "zero requests" in the per-API-key usage counter (#6698).
+- **fix(sse):** unwrap bare `{function:{…}}` tools so OpenAI-shape clients no longer have tools silently dropped in Claude translation. (thanks @samir-abis)
+- **fix(oauth):** stop merging distinct Codex OAuth logins that share an email but lack a verifiable account id, preventing silent token overwrite. (thanks @lucasjustinudin)
+- **fix(codex):** detect "model at capacity"/overloaded errors embedded in a 200-OK SSE stream and surface them as a real error so account fallback rotates, instead of passing them through as a successful response. (thanks @ryanngit)
+- **fix(volcengine):** clamp `max_tokens` to the VolcEngine Ark endpoint cap for the Kimi model so oversized values no longer 400. (thanks @whale9820)
+- **fix(antigravity):** surface aborted/malformed Gemini tool calls (e.g. `MALFORMED_FUNCTION_CALL`) as an explicit non-`end_turn` finish reason instead of a silent clean completion. (thanks @anhdiepmmk)
+- **fix(routing):** the reasoning-token headroom buffer clamps to the model's explicit output cap instead of inflating past it, and `getExplicitModelOutputCap` falls through to the registry/spec cap when a synced capability row exists without a numeric `limit_output` ([#6714](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6714)) — thanks @xz-dev
+- **fix(api):** `omniroute health` (and `health components`/`health watch`) returned `Error: HTTP 404` ([#6677](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6677)) — `bin/cli/commands/health.mjs` called `apiFetch("/api/health", ...)`, a route that was moved to `GET /api/monitoring/health` (`src/app/api/monitoring/health/route.ts`) without updating the CLI; `src/app/api/health/` on disk only has `degradation/route.ts` and `ping/route.ts`, no top-level handler. `runHealthCommand()`/`runHealthComponentsCommand()` now call `/api/monitoring/health` and read its actual payload shape (`activeConnections`, `circuitBreakers: {open, halfOpen, closed}`, `memoryUsage`) instead of the old, nonexistent `requests`/`breakers`/`cache`/`memory` fields. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli-health-monitoring-route.test.ts`.
+- **fix(startup):** webpack build broke on case-insensitive filesystems (macOS APFS default, Windows) with a casing-collision warning plus "not exported" errors in `StudioConfigPane.tsx`/`ChatTab.tsx` (#6584) — `src/app/(dashboard)/dashboard/playground/components/ReasoningControls.tsx` (the component) and `reasoningControls.ts` (the utils module) shared the same lower-cased stem in the same directory, and two importers used the extensionless form `from "./reasoningControls"`, the exact resolution path that becomes ambiguous once casing is folded. Renamed the utils module to `reasoningControlUtils.ts` (no collision) and updated the 3 import sites. Regression guard: `tests/unit/case-collision-6584.test.ts` (scans `src/`/`open-sse/` for any same-directory, case-only filename collision). (#6584)
+- **fix(build):** Turbopack production build emitted an "Overly broad patterns can lead to build performance issues" warning per entry point importing `src/lib/agentSkills/generator.ts` (603 warnings reported on v3.8.46, up from 379 on v3.8.45) ([#6582](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6582)) — `generator.ts`'s `outputBase` is built as `path.isAbsolute(outputDir) ? outputDir : path.join(process.cwd(), outputDir)`, where `outputDir` is a runtime function parameter, not a compile-time literal, so Turbopack's build-time file-tracing analyzer can't statically narrow the several dynamic `readdirSync`/`rmSync`/`readFileSync`/`writeFileSync` call sites a few lines below and falls back to a project-wide glob; #6366's commit message claimed to "anchor the base path with a literal" but the shipped code never did. Since this fs access is legitimate and bounded (`skills/<id>/SKILL.md`, ~48 known IDs), `next.config.mjs`'s `turbopack.ignoreIssue` (Next.js 16.2+) now suppresses this specific, known-benign diagnostic, mirroring the existing `webpack.ignoreWarnings`/`isNextIntlExtractorDynamicImportWarning` precedent already in the same file for the webpack path. Regression guard: `tests/unit/next-config.test.ts` (asserts the `turbopack.ignoreIssue` rule shape targeting `src/lib/agentSkills/**`).
+- **fix(providers):** Codex Desktop requests to `gpt-5.3-codex-spark` failed with `[400]: Tool 'image_generation' is not supported with gpt-5.3-codex-spark`, even on paid-plan accounts ([#6651](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6651)) — `CodexExecutor.transformRequest` (`open-sse/executors/codex.ts`) only dropped the Codex Desktop-injected `image_generation` hosted tool when `isCodexFreePlan()` matched the account's plan, with no awareness that Spark-scope Codex models reject `image_generation` upstream regardless of plan. `dropImageGeneration` now also drops it when `getCodexModelScope(model) === "spark"` (the existing Spark classifier from `open-sse/config/codexQuotaScopes.ts`), independent of account plan. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-spark-image-generation.test.ts` (thanks @alltomatos for independently catching and fixing it via #6819).
+- **fix(providers):** the provider quota card's weekly/session bars re-sorted by remaining percentage instead of staying in a fixed, deterministic order ([#6687](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6687)) — `QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`'s `sortQuotasByRemaining()` (added in #5977) was applied unconditionally via `useMemo(() => sortQuotasByRemaining(quotas), [quotas])`, undoing the deterministic `CODEX_QUOTA_ORDER`/`GLM_QUOTA_ORDER` window order `quotaParsing.ts`'s `sortCodexOrder()`/`sortGlmOrder()` (added in #6336) already established for Codex and the GLM family — since #6336 never touched `QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`, the two orderings never composed, so e.g. a Codex `session` window with less headroom than `weekly` rendered after it instead of staying first. A new `hasFixedQuotaOrder()` (`quotaParsing.ts`) and `resolveQuotaDisplayOrder()` (`QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`) now skip the remaining-% re-sort for providers with a fixed window order, threading `providerId` from `QuotaCard.tsx` through to the display layer; every other provider still gets the remaining-% sort. Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-card-expanded-fixed-order-6687.test.ts`.
+- **fix(i18n):** pt-BR was missing 194 UI keys present in `en.json` — a real, silent data-sync gap, not covered by any duplicate/mislabeled #6694 (that issue's 9 `providers.*` keys are disjoint, present-but-untranslated sentinels caused by a separate `providerText()` fallback bug) ([#6695](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6695)) — `scripts/i18n/sync-ui-keys.mjs` (which mirrors newly-added `en.json` keys into every locale) wasn't re-run after recent `en.json` additions, and the CI `i18n:check-ui-coverage` gate only fails a locale below an 80% threshold, so pt-BR stayed green at 93.8% coverage despite the gap. Backfilled all 194 missing keys into `src/i18n/messages/pt-BR.json` (translated to Brazilian Portuguese, no leftover `__MISSING__` markers) via `npm run i18n:sync-ui -- --locale=pt-BR` + manual translation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-pt-br.test.ts` (new case asserting full `en.json`→`pt-BR.json` key parity, so a future drift fails a fast unit test instead of silently degrading the coverage percentage).
+- **fix(startup):** `omniroute --mcp` crashed at Node ESM link time with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND` for `ioredis` on installs where the published MCP bundle didn't happen to have `ioredis` rescued from a parent `node_modules` ([#6559](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6559)) — `src/shared/utils/rateLimiter.ts` had a top-level static `import Redis from "ioredis"`; that module is only ever reached via a lazy `await import(...)` several call-sites deep in the MCP tool chain, but esbuild's `--packages=external` bundling of the MCP server (`scripts/build/prepublish.ts` Step 8.5) still hoisted rateLimiter.ts's own static import into a real top-level ESM import in the compiled `dist/open-sse/mcp-server/server.js`, forcing Node to resolve `ioredis` at module-link time — before any `--mcp` startup code runs — and `ioredis` is not guaranteed to ship in the MCP-only bundle's `node_modules`. `getRedisClient()` now lazily imports `ioredis` on first use (matching the established soft-dependency pattern in `src/lib/quota/redisQuotaStore.ts`) while still throwing synchronously when Redis isn't configured. Regression guard: `tests/unit/build/mcp-bundle-no-eager-ioredis.test.ts` (bundles the real MCP server entrypoint with the exact publish-time esbuild flags and asserts no top-level static `ioredis` import remains, while the pre-existing lazy `await import("ioredis")` in `redisQuotaStore.ts` stays intact).
+- **fix(providers):** Kiro sent the adaptive-thinking `additionalModelRequestFields` envelope for `claude-sonnet-4.5`/`claude-haiku-4.5`, which Kiro/CodeWhisperer rejects upstream with a raw `[400]: additionalModelRequestFields is not supported for this model` ([#6576](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6576)) — `buildKiroPayload()` (`open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-kiro.ts`) gated the field on the generic Anthropic-API `supportsReasoning()` capability flag, which is `true` for both models on Anthropic's direct API but does not reflect what Kiro's CodeWhisperer backend actually accepts; only `claude-sonnet-5` is confirmed adaptive-thinking-capable there. A new Kiro-specific allowlist (`supportsKiroAdaptiveThinking()` in `open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-kiro/adaptiveThinking.ts`) now gates the envelope instead. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6576-kiro-thinking-unsupported-model.test.ts`.
+- **fix(translator):** Cursor's local **Subagent** tool call is no longer rejected with `cloud_base_branch may only be specified when environment equals cloud` — the Responses→Chat tool-arg cleanup (`stripEmptyOptionalToolArgs`) was scoped to Claude Code's `Read` tool only, so Cursor's `Subagent` tool passed through with the cloud-only `cloud_base_branch: ""` (Cursor treats an empty string as "specified" and rejects the call before starting the local subagent). The cleanup now covers an allowlist of `Read` + `Subagent`; arbitrary tools are still left untouched (empty strings/arrays can be valid payloads for them). Regression guard: `tests/unit/openai-responses-subagent-strip-2446.test.ts`. (thanks @like3213934360-lab)
+- **fix(translator):** GLM 5.2 (and other OpenAI-compatible upstreams that stream a tool call's `id` and `function.name` in **separate** SSE chunks) no longer produce an empty tool name / `No such tool available:` error through the Claude `/messages` path — the `openai-to-claude` streaming translator emitted `content_block_start` immediately on the id-only chunk with an empty `name`, and the Claude SSE protocol cannot patch a block after it is emitted, so the later name-only chunk was silently dropped. It now **defers** `content_block_start` until the tool name arrives (falling back to starting the block when arguments arrive first), so the emitted `tool_use` always carries the real name. Regression guard: `tests/unit/openai-to-claude-glm-split-tool-name-2077.test.ts`. (thanks @itiwant)
+- **fix(resilience):** OmniRoute didn't respect an exhausted Ollama Cloud (or any other apikey-category provider) quota — it retried the account seconds later instead of waiting out the real reset window ([#6638](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6638)) — `shouldPreserveQuotaSignalsFor429()`/`checkFallbackError()` (`open-sse/services/accountFallback.ts`) only applied body-text quota classification (daily/monthly/weekly quota-exhausted detection) to OAuth-category providers; apikey-category 429s (Ollama Cloud, OpenAI, etc.) always fell through to the generic short rate-limit cooldown regardless of what the error body said, and `parseRetryFromErrorText()` also had no support for day-granularity reset hints ("Your quota will reset in 3 days.") — only Xh/Ym/Zs combos. An explicit quota-exhausted signal in the body (`looksLikeQuotaExhausted()`) now overrides the apikey-category default via the new `shouldPreserveQuotaSignals()` (`open-sse/services/quotaResetParsing.ts`), and `parseDayGranularityResetMs()` parses whole-day reset countdowns so the real multi-day window is honored instead of a few seconds of backoff. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6638-ollama-quota.test.ts` + 2 aligned `tests/unit/account-fallback-service.test.ts` cases that previously asserted the buggy rate_limit_exceeded/undefined-dailyQuotaExhausted behavior for apikey-provider quota text.
+- **fix(resilience):** a combo step "pinned" to one fingerprint account (mimocode/mcode/opencode multi-account providers) never actually resolved to that account, so it couldn't fail over when the pinned account was depleted ([#6696](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6696), relates #6612) — the combo builder UI encodes an account pin as a composite connectionId (`${rowId}|fp|${fingerprint}`, `src/lib/combos/builderOptions.ts`), but `expandTargetsByFingerprints()` (`open-sse/services/combo/fingerprintExpansion.ts`) looked that composite string up directly in `connectionById` (keyed by real DB row ids), got `undefined`, and passed the target through unchanged, still carrying the bogus composite id — so downstream credential resolution could never match it either. `expandTargetsByFingerprints()` now splits the `|fp|` composite id back into the real connection row id + the pinned fingerprint (new `splitFingerprintPin()` helper) before any lookup, resolving the target to the real connectionId (with the pinned fingerprint carried on the new `pinnedFingerprint` field) instead of the inert composite string. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-fingerprint-pin-6696.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** Responses passthrough emitted event-only SSE frames (no `data:` line) for every dropped commentary event, breaking the OpenAI Python SDK's `sse.json()` parser ([#6561](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6561)), follow-up to #6199/#6232 — the commentary-drop `continue;` branches in `open-sse/utils/stream.ts` skipped the `data:` line for a dropped commentary event but never cleared the already-buffered `event:` line for that same frame, so the next blank line flushed the stale `event:` line alone. Both drop sites now call `clearPendingPassthroughEvent()` before `continue`, discarding the buffered prefix along with the dropped payload; the commentary-drop decision itself was extracted into a new `open-sse/utils/responsesCommentaryDrop.ts` so the fix does not grow the frozen `stream.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/responses-commentary-event-frame-6561.test.ts` (realistic `event:\ndata:\n\n` frames — the existing #6199 test only used bare `data:` lines and never exercised this path).
+- **fix(compression):** `/api/compression/preview`'s top-level `originalTokens`/`compressedTokens` diverged from `engineBreakdown[0]`'s counts for the same single-engine run (tiktoken outer counts vs the `JSON.stringify(...).length/4` estimate per engine), worst on small inputs. A new `reconcileSingleEngineTokens()` overwrites the single-engine breakdown entry with the outer, more accurate figures; multi-step pipeline breakdowns are left untouched ([#6488](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6488)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression/preview-outer-engine-token-reconcile-6488.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** account selection could pick an account already out of quota upstream on every credentialed route except `chat`/`codex` ([#6686](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6686)) — `getProviderCredentials()` (`src/sse/services/auth.ts`) only skips a connection when a *local cache* already flags it exhausted (`isQuotaExhaustedForRequest`/`src/domain/quotaCache.ts`); it never itself calls the registered upstream `QuotaFetcher`. Only `getProviderCredentialsWithQuotaPreflight()` performs that live upstream check, and it was wired into exactly 2 call sites (`src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, `src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts`) — every other credentialed route (`rerank`, `images/generations`, `images/edits`, `audio/transcriptions|speech|translations`, `videos/generations`, `music/generations`, `ocr`, `providers/[provider]/embeddings`, `providers/[provider]/images/generations`, `web/fetch`, `moderations`, `search`) called the plain, cache-only selector, so an account whose cache entry was never populated (e.g. its first request landed on one of these routes) could be selected even at 0% quota remaining. Those 14 call sites now go through `getProviderCredentialsWithQuotaPreflight()` instead, matching chat/codex coverage. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6686-quota-preflight-coverage.test.ts` (static check that none of the routes call the plain selector anymore + a behavioral check that the preflight-aware selector blocks a 100%-used account).
+- **fix(api):** `reasoning_content` (extended-thinking text) was silently dropped from `/v1/chat/completions` SSE on the `claude-web` and `v0-vercel-web` executors ([#6662](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6662)) — every chunk builder in both adapters hardcoded `delta: { content: ... }` with no reasoning path, unlike the established pattern already used by `default.ts`/`deepseek-web.ts`/`bedrock.ts` and the real-Anthropic-API `claude-to-openai.ts` translator (`thinking_delta` → `reasoning_content`). `v0-vercel-web.ts` now forwards an upstream `delta.reasoning_content` field (streaming and non-streaming) the same way `deepseek-web.ts` does. `claude-web.ts`'s `buildClaudeStreamingResponse` now maps a `content_block_start`(`type: "thinking"`)/`content_block_delta`(`delta.thinking`) pair onto `delta.reasoning_content`, and `claude-web/payload.ts`'s `transformToClaude()` no longer hardcodes `thinking_mode: "off"` — a new `wantsExtendedThinking()` derives it from the request's `reasoning_effort`/`reasoning.effort`/`thinking.type` signal, so extended thinking can actually be requested. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6662-repro.test.ts` (RED→GREEN for both adapters).
+- **fix(api):** the compression config PUT schema now accepts `enableRenderers` for the RTK engine instead of rejecting the documented option (#6703, #6757 — thanks @alltomatos, with an independent duplicate fix from @chirag127 via #6756).
+- **fix(api):** raised the provider `apiKey` length cap for cookie-based web providers, whose session-cookie credentials legitimately exceed the previous limit (#6715, #6759 — thanks @alltomatos).
+- fix(ci): publish electron-updater `latest*.yml` manifests in electron release assets so auto-update can find them ([#6766](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6766))
+- **fix(i18n): translate hardcoded Portuguese dashboard strings to English (#6761, #6768)** (#6769 — thanks @chirag127).
+- fix(providers): strip redundant node prefix when resolving custom OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible connections by raw connection id, preventing double-namespaced model ids from 400ing upstream (#6772)
+- fix(providers): scope nvidia NIM 404s to the single failing model instead of cooling down the whole connection (#6773)
+- **fix(codex):** bump the default Codex CLI client identity from `0.142.0` to `0.144.0` for compatibility with newer Codex-backed models ([#6780](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6780)) — thanks @quanturbo
+- **fix(ci):** the blocking "Impacted unit tests (TIA)" step false-redded any PR whose impact graph reached a dashboard component — it ran every selected test under `--import tsx/esm`, but `tests/unit/dashboard/**` requires the `--import tsx` CJS transform (ESM-only deep imports like `@lobehub/icons/es/*`), exactly as the canonical `test:unit:ci:shard` already does per segment. The impacted selection is now split by segment with matching loaders (closes #6787).
+- **fix(translator):** read PDF/video `file_data` attachments on the OpenAI→Gemini/Antigravity and OpenAI→Claude paths so multimodal documents (not just images) reach the upstream — PDFs map to `document`/`inlineData` and videos keep their `video/mp4` mime instead of being dropped (#6790 — thanks @Witroch4, with an independent report/fix from @samimozcan via #6762/#6753).
+- **fix(providers): ensure DeepSeek Web SSE emits [DONE] after FINISHED** (#6791 — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch).
+- **fix(api):** the compression config `PUT` schema (`stackedPipelineStepSchema`) now accepts every `ENGINE_CATALOG` id — the structural engines `session-dedup`/`ccr`/`headroom`/`relevance`/`llmlingua`/`omniglyph` and the `aggressive` `ultra` intensity — so a `GET`→`PUT` round-trip of a stacked pipeline no longer 400s on a valid engine the discriminated union had omitted (#6747 — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch).
+- **fix(cursor):** send the Agent CLI build id as `x-cursor-client-version` so Cursor upstream accepts requests from the current CLI build instead of a stale hardcoded version (#6795 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- fix(cli): waitForServer() no longer reports ready from a raw TCP accept alone — requires a fast HTTP rejection or a real health response, so the "OmniRoute is running!" banner no longer fires 30-60s before the server can actually answer requests (#6800)
+- fix(sse): de-flake timing-sensitive combo cooldown/breaker tests + add explicit MCP audit shutdown timeout (#6803)
+- **fix(codex): strip include from compact responses requests** (#6805 — thanks @yinaoxiong).
+- fix(dashboard): surface Claude extraUsage credits in quota card when quotas is empty (#6806)
+- **Request count by provider & date**: Dashboard → Analytics now shows a dedicated table of request counts grouped by provider and calendar date (plus token totals), for providers that bill per-request rather than per-token — sortable columns and a single-date filter. New `getProviderDailyUsageRows()` query (`src/lib/db/usageAnalytics.ts`) and its own `GET /api/usage/requests-by-provider-date` route (kept separate from the frozen `/api/usage/analytics` route). Regression guard: `tests/unit/db-provider-daily-usage-4009.test.ts`. (#4009 — thanks @tjengbudi)
+- **fix(resilience):** an Ollama Cloud (or any apikey-category provider) account that hit a weekly usage cap kept getting retried every few minutes instead of backing off ([#3709](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3709)) — the upstream 429 body ("you (\<account\>) have reached your weekly usage limit") was invisible to `checkFallbackError`'s existing subscription-quota-text classifier (Issue #2321) because that branch is gated by `shouldUseQuotaSignal`, which is oauth-only, so apikey providers like `ollama-cloud` fell through to the generic exponential backoff (~1s, capped at 2min) — one account took 285x429 in 48h. A new `isWeeklyUsageLimitText`/`buildWeeklyQuotaFallback` classifier (extracted, with the existing subscription-quota logic, into a new `open-sse/services/quotaTextCooldowns.ts` module so the frozen `accountFallback.ts` didn't have to grow) runs unconditionally and applies a 24h `QUOTA_EXHAUSTED` cooldown regardless of provider category. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ollama-cloud-weekly-quota-cooldown-3709.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** an explicit `thinking.budget_tokens: 0` is now honored in the OpenAI→Gemini transform (thinking disabled) instead of being treated as unset (#6813, #6821 — thanks @alltomatos).
+- **fix(bootstrap):** filter empty `process.env` values before spawning embedded services so a blank env var no longer crashes the Docker bootstrap in a restart loop (#6828 — thanks @AndrianBalanescu).
+- **fix(providers):** classify upstream `404` responses as `MODEL_NOT_FOUND` (model lockout) instead of a retryable provider error, stopping the retry storm when a single model is missing (#6829 — thanks @AndrianBalanescu).
+- fix(mcp): de-duplicate `TOTAL_MCP_TOOL_COUNT` by tool name instead of double-counting collections (#6854)
+- **fix(usage):** xAI's exact provider-reported `cost_in_usd_ticks` no longer silently accepts `null`/`""`/negative values as a valid `$0` exact cost — `extractUsageFromResponse()` (`open-sse/handlers/usageExtractor.ts`) and `normalizeUsage()` (`open-sse/utils/usageTracking.ts`) now require `typeof value === "number" && Number.isFinite(value) && value >= 0` instead of coercing with `Number(x)`, so a malformed exact cost correctly falls back to the token-based estimate instead of masking it with a bogus `$0`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/xai-exact-cost-2453.test.ts` (rejects null/empty/negative exact costs on both call sites). ([#6856](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6856) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(plugin):** the `@omniroute/opencode-plugin` dynamic provider hook stopped embedding its OC-1.17.8+-gate-compatible `opencode-`-prefixed provider id into model routing fields (`ModelV2.id`/`providerID`, combo catalog keys) — OmniRoute's server has no `opencode-<x>` provider alias, so every dispatched model failed credential lookup with "No credentials for opencode-omniroute" (#6859).
+- fix(sse): apply cliproxyapiModelMapping at CLIProxyAPI dispatch time (#6876)
+- fix(sse): defer `response.completed` until a trailing usage-only chunk arrives on `/v1/responses` streams (#6906)
+- **fix(cli):** ship `head-response-guard.cjs` into the standalone bundle — `server-ws.mjs` imported it without a matching `EXTRA_MODULE_ENTRIES` entry, so every `build:release` dist crashed at boot with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND`; a new regression test derives the required sidecars from `server-ws.mjs` imports (#6908)
+- fix(sse): wire the shared quota-fetch throttle into DeepSeek, Bailian, OpenCode, and Crof quota fetchers, not just Codex (#6911)
+- fix(sse): rename client-sent `max_completion_tokens` to `max_tokens` for providers/models that only accept the legacy field (e.g. Volcengine Ark / DeepSeek), mirroring the existing reverse rename from #1961 (#6912)
+- fix(sse): set includeServerSideToolInvocations on Antigravity tool cloak decoys (#6914)
+- fix(sse): classify LAN embeddings providers (10/8, 192.168/16, CGNAT) as no-auth instead of forcing bearer auth (#6925)
+- fix(sse): Qwen Web executor no longer sends `[object Object]` when a message uses structured (array) content — the text parts are now flattened (#6927)
+- perf(api): relay chat-completions routes now thread the already-fetched `RelayToken` into `checkRateLimit`, skipping a redundant `SELECT * FROM relay_tokens WHERE id = ?` re-query on every request (#6930)
+- fix(sse): `normalizeCodexMessageContentPart` now rewrites explicit `type: "input_text"` (not just `type: "text"`) to `output_text` on assistant-role Codex Responses input parts, so replayed assistant history sent by codex-cli as `input_text` is no longer rejected by the Codex/OpenAI backend (#6932)
+- fix(sse): omit removed `attachments` field from Muse Spark Web (Meta AI) persisted GraphQL query to fix `Unknown type "AttachmentInput"` 502s (#6935)
+- fix(dashboard): label audio/embeddings/image compatible providers by kind instead of "Chat" on ProviderCard (#6936)
+- fix(api): model-list discovery for LAN-local OpenAI-compatible providers (e.g. LM Studio) now uses the same local-first SSRF guard as the connection test, instead of the stricter guard that always blocked LAN hosts (#6939)
+- fix(providers): `openai->gemini` transform now maps `reasoning_effort: "none"` to `thinkingConfig.thinkingBudget: 0` (with `includeThoughts: false`), giving callers an explicit, documented off-switch for Gemini thinking; the no-knob-at-all default injection (#4170) is unchanged (#6813, thanks @rafaumeu)
+- **fix(sse):** escape backslash before brackets in ChatGPT-web citation link text, preventing a citation label containing `\` from corrupting the generated Markdown link ([#6944](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6944)) — thanks @brick30llc-ctrl
+- fix(oauth): tokenHealthCheck now lowercase-normalizes `conn.provider` before checking `ROTATING_REFRESH_PROVIDERS.has()` and the GitHub Copilot sub-token refresh guard, so mixed-case provider values (e.g. "OpenAI", "Github") no longer bypass the rotating-refresh-token skip or the Copilot sub-token refresh (#6947)
+- fix(sse): make Codex Responses tool-arg normalization schema-aware — drop values equal to the tool's declared JSON Schema `default`, generalize empty-optional stripping to any tool (not just `Read`/`Subagent`) via `schema.required`, and thread each tool's schema from the request's `tools[]` into the streaming response translator (#6951)
+- fix(sse): drop internal commentary-phase Responses output in TRANSLATE-mode streams, not just PASSTHROUGH — codex/Responses-upstream routes translated into another client format (e.g. Claude Code) no longer leak duplicate prose and narrated tool-call arguments into the client text channel (#6952)
+- **fix(combos):** embeddings-only and rerank-only models (e.g. JinaAI, Gemini auto-imported, OpenRouter custom, reranker models) no longer disappear from the combo builder's model picker — the leftover chat-only `isChatCapable` gate in `addModelOption()` has been removed (#6975).
+- **fix(combos):** when 2+ distinct model ids from the same provider would render an identical display name in the combo builder picker (e.g. Mistral's `codestral-latest`/`codestral-2508` aliases sharing one upstream catalog name), each colliding entry now falls back to its own id as the display label so every row stays visually distinguishable and findable (#6957).
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **chore(release-captain):** v3.8.47 pre-flight closed every deterministic release-tip base-red ([#6967](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6967)): restored the `no-explicit-any` severity silently downgraded by #6786 (439 bulk suppressions had stopped matching), made the openadapter live-catalog test deterministic (`test.after()` was tearing the DB down mid-request), aligned the emergency-fallback and Cloud Code Gemini tests with the #6912/#6943 contracts, backfilled the #6909 i18n keys (en + pt-BR), re-exported `relayProbeStats` (db-rules), documented `OMNI_MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS`, and allowlisted migration gap 121. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **chore(security):** unbiased crypto digits for the doubao synthetic device id (CodeQL `js/biased-cryptographic-random`); 405 method-first for `/api/keys/{id}/devices` (dast-smoke); Zod-validation for `POST /api/github-skills`; the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry + catalog count alignment. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **chore(quality):** cycle-close ratchet work — cleared the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors and made `validate-release-green` suppressions-aware; cleared the 2 remaining heavy-gate reds on the release tip; cycle rebaselines (cognitive/file-size/zizmor/coverage pcts) with justification keys. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **chore(open-sse):** removed the vestigial `// @ts-nocheck` directive from `open-sse/utils/usageTracking.ts` ([#6173](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6173)) — `tsc` under the standard `typecheck:core` gate reports 0 errors for this 595-line hot-path file (executed for every provider response), so the suppression was no longer needed; removing it restores type-checking on the token-usage extraction/normalization path. (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **chore(cli):** the shell-completion cache paths (`readCache`/`refreshCache`/`writeCache`) in `bin/cli/commands/completion.mjs` no longer swallow errors into a bare `catch {}` ([#6257](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6257)) — each now binds the error and, when the new `OMNIROUTE_DEBUG_COMPLETION` env var is set, emits a `[omniroute completion]` diagnostic to `stderr`; the caches still fail silently by default so a missing/corrupt cache never breaks tab-completion. (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **chore(quality):** `validate-release-green --full-ci` reproduces the full `ci.yml` static gate set locally — the pre-flight now reads `ci.yml` itself and runs every `npm run check:*` from the `lint` / `quality-gate` / `quality-extended` / `docs-sync-strict` / `pr-test-policy` jobs (`--` ratchet flags preserved, `test-masking` against `GITHUB_BASE_REF=main`), skipping only the non-local `pr-evidence`/`codeql-ratchet`. Closes the gap where 11 static base-reds leaked to the v3.8.46 release PR in ~2h of layered CI. Also wired into `nightly-release-green` so a static base-red opens a tracking issue the night it lands. Regression guard: `tests/unit/validate-release-green.test.ts` (+5 `extractCiGates` cases).
+- **refactor(usage):** `saveRequestUsage(entry: any)` is now typed with a new `UsageEntry` interface mirroring the `usage_history` columns 1:1 (#3512) — the other stray `any`s in `src/lib/usage/usageHistory.ts` (`getUsageHistory` filter, the `getUsageDb` next-cursor cast, `appendRequestLog`'s legacy `tokens` param, `getRecentLogs`'s catch) were cleaned in the same pass, so the file now sits in the `check:any-budget:t11` zero-`any` allowlist. The DB-entity ↔ TS-interface convention is documented in `docs/architecture/CODEBASE_DOCUMENTATION.md` §11.
+- **Merge-train script** (`scripts/release/merge-train.sh`): batch-validates N queued PRs as ONE merged result on the runner box — merges every queued PR into a throwaway worktree cut from the release tip, runs the fast-gates parity suite once, and prints the `--admin` evidence block per PR (merge-gates §7). Replaces O(N²) per-PR CI re-runs in merge-storms. Regression guard: `tests/unit/merge-train-plan.test.ts`.
+- **release:** `list-uncovered-commits.mjs` now unions the CHANGELOG scan window with `changelog.d/` fragment refs (filename `<PR>-` prefix + every `#N` in the body), so a commit covered only by a fragment is no longer reported as an uncovered reconciliation gap ([#6857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6857) via [#6878](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6878))
+- chore(quality): restore no-explicit-any severity to error (silently downgraded by #6786, broke 439 bulk suppressions), fix 2 unsuppressed anys in repro-6912 test, allowlist migration gap 121, freeze-bump stream.ts/ProxyRegistryManager/tokenHealthCheck (combined-merge drift)
+- chore(base): pt-BR/en i18n keys for #6909 relay-repair/free-pool UI + align Cloud Code Gemini defaults test with the #6943 non-thinking-model contract
+- chore(base): re-export relayProbeStats from localDb (db-rules gate, #6909 follow-up) and document OMNI_MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS in .env.example/ENVIRONMENT.md (env-doc gate, #6590 follow-up)
+- **ci:** unit fast-path sharding doubled 2→4 (halves the heaviest job's wall time) (#6781); the 3 heaviest fast-path jobs can route to the self-hosted VPS runner pool behind `USE_VPS_RUNNER` (#6691); `VPS_ALWAYS_ON` keeps the dedicated 24/7 CI host up across releases (teardown becomes a no-op) (#6693).
+- **docs:** routing-strategy count reconciled to 18 across AUTO-COMBO.md, README and AGENTS.md, and `p2c` casing fixed to match `ROUTING_STRATEGY_VALUES` (#6643, #6644, #6646 — thanks @chirag127); CLAUDE.md updated with the renamed review/triage/implement skill-family names (#6663).
+- chore(release): v3.8.47 pre-flight — relocate #6943 orphan test to a collected path, restore no-explicit-any suppression match, testFrozen bump translator-openai-to-gemini (1541→1553), zizmor rebaseline 159→169
+- **docs(readme):** fix stale counts — 18 routing strategies (adds the missing `pipeline` row), 94 MCP tools, 12-factor Auto-Combo scoring.
+- **chore(ci):** fix two shared base-reds on the release tip that blocked the PR queue — register `cliproxyapi-model-mapping-dispatch.test.ts` in `stryker.conf.json` `tap.testFiles` (mutation-coverage gap left by #6903) and update `provider-models-route-codex.test.ts` to expect Codex client version `0.144.0` (stale assertion left by #6780's production bump).
+- **docs:** refresh `llm.txt` to the current project state (248 providers, 94 MCP tools / 30 scopes, 18 routing strategies, 12-factor Auto-Combo scoring, v3.8.47) and sync its 42 i18n mirrors; move the implemented design-system plan from the repo root to `docs/architecture/DESIGN_SYSTEM.md` rewritten as a reference doc.
+- **chore(security):** scrub hardcoded live-instance credentials (API key + auth cookie + host URL) from the `tests/boundary/*.live.test.ts` files landed via #6786 — they now read `OMNIROUTE_TEST_BASE` / `OMNIROUTE_TEST_BEARER` / `OMNIROUTE_TEST_COOKIE` from the environment and stay gated behind `RUN_BOUNDARY_LIVE=1`.

+## [3.8.46] — 2026-07-07
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(sse):** **hide paid-only models from `auto/*` routing** when `hidePaidModels` is on ([#6512](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6512)) — follow-up to #6328/#6495. PR #6495 hid paid-only models from the `GET /v1/models` listing, but `auto/*` combos (`auto/best-coding`, `auto/glm`, …) could still pick a paid-only backend into their candidate pool → a 402/403 at request time. `createVirtualAutoCombo` now filters the candidate pool through the new pure `open-sse/services/autoCombo/paidModelFilter.ts` (`filterPaidOnlyCandidates`), applying the same free-model predicate #6495 uses in `catalog.ts` (`providerHasFreeModels(provider) && isFreeModel(provider, {id})`) whenever `settings.hidePaidModels === true`. Applied before the category/tier/family narrowing, so it covers every `auto/*` combo; an all-paid pool degrades to the existing graceful empty-pool path. **Opt-in — default OFF leaves the pool unchanged** (identity). Regression guard: `tests/unit/autoCombo/paid-model-filter-6512.test.ts` (4, incl. the default-off identity guard).
+- **feat(sse):** **provider-family auto combos** — `auto/glm`, `auto/minimax`, `auto/mimo`, `auto/zai`, `auto/gemma`, `auto/llama`, `auto/gemini` ([#6453](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6453)) — new routable ids that materialize an on-demand virtual combo spanning whatever installed backends currently expose that model family, degrading gracefully as backends rotate. A new pure `open-sse/services/autoCombo/modelFamily.ts` (`detectModelFamily`) classifies by model-id prefix for six families; `zai` is instead resolved by provider id (z.ai's hosted API serves the same `glm-*` model ids as every other GLM backend, so `auto/zai` means "route to my z.ai backend specifically" vs `auto/glm`'s "any connected GLM backend"). Reuses the existing `createVirtualAutoCombo` on-demand materialization path (no DB writes) and the `/v1/models` catalog advertising loop. Regression guard: `tests/unit/autoCombo/provider-family-combos.test.ts` (11).
+- **feat(proxy):** native **proxy-pool round-robin / egress IP rotation** ([#6365](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6365)) — a scope (global / provider / account) can now hold **multiple** proxies as a pool with a rotation strategy, so outbound requests cycle their egress IP instead of pinning one proxy per scope. Migration `117_proxy_pool_rotation.sql` lifts the `UNIQUE(scope, scope_id)` constraint (rebuild via the canonical rename/copy/drop; existing single assignments become 1-element pools) and adds a `proxy_scope_rotation` companion table holding the per-scope strategy + a persisted monotonic round-robin cursor. Strategies: `round-robin` (default, monotonic cursor — never `Math.random`), `random`, and `sticky-per-N-min`. Resolution (`resolveProxyForScopeFromRegistry` / `resolveProxyForConnectionFromRegistry`) now fetches the alive, position-ordered candidate set (unchanged `PROXY_ALIVE_PREDICATE`) and applies the strategy; an empty / all-dead pool still returns `null` — the #6246 fail-closed guard is **untouched** (never falls through to direct egress). Backend + DB only; dashboard pool-builder UI is a follow-up. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-pool-rotation-6365.test.ts` (8, incl. fail-closed + backward-compat).
+- **feat(providers):** end-to-end **tool/function calling on the native Gemini `/v1beta` endpoint** ([#6222](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6222)) — both directions of the Gemini↔OpenAI conversion now preserve tool data (previously silently dropped). Request side: `convertGeminiToInternal` (extracted to its own testable module) maps `tools[].functionDeclarations` → OpenAI `tools`, prior `functionCall` parts → assistant `tool_calls`, and `functionResponse` parts → `tool`-role messages. Response side: `convertOpenAIResponseToGemini` emits `parts[].functionCall {name,args}` from `message.tool_calls`, and the streaming `openAIChunkToGeminiChunk` accumulates fragmented `tool_calls` deltas by index into complete `functionCall` parts. The non-Gemini client paths (Claude, OpenAI-Responses) already preserved tool calls — this closes the gap specific to the native Gemini surface. Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1beta-gemini-tool-calling-6222.test.ts` (6, incl. a streaming SSE round-trip).
+- **feat(providers):** copilot-m365-web **enterprise / work tier** support ([#6334](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6334)) — mirrors the EDU-tier pattern (#6210): `M365ConnectionParams` gains an `agent` field, a new opt-in `M365_ENTERPRISE_OVERRIDES` preset (`agent=work`, `scenario=officeweb`, `licenseType=Premium`) applies via `providerSpecificData.tier="enterprise"` (alias `"work"`), and `agent` is also overridable directly via `providerSpecificData.agent`. `buildWsUrl` was hardcoding `agent="web"` (the one enterprise-distinguishing param with no override path), so a Premium work account handshook then returned an empty stream. The individual and EDU paths are untouched. Kilo's dup flag vs #6210 (EDU tier) was a false positive — different tier. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-enterprise-6334.test.ts` (7). End-to-end confirmation on a real Premium work account is a live-VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18). (thanks @Forcerecon)
+- **feat(api):** standardized, provider-agnostic **`effort` + `thinking` request params** ([#6241](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6241)) — a thin standardization layer over the existing mature per-provider reasoning plumbing (no provider mapper touched). `providerChatCompletionSchema` gains a canonical `effort` (reusing the shared `none/low/medium/high/xhigh` vocabulary — the UI tiers `extra`/`max` collapse onto `xhigh`) and a boolean `thinking`. A pure `normalizeReasoningRequest` (wired once in `src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, before any reasoning field is read) folds them onto the fields the translators already consume (`reasoning_effort` / `reasoning.effort` / `thinking`), so they fan out to Anthropic / Gemini / xAI / Responses — an explicit client `reasoning_effort` / object-shaped `thinking` always wins (backward-compatible). `/models` additively exposes `supportsThinking` + `effort_tiers` so the frontend can render the toggles (UI component is a follow-up). Regression guard: `tests/unit/effort-thinking-standardization-6241.test.ts` (12). (thanks @Iammilansoni, @shabeer)
+- **feat(combo):** new **`pipeline` (sequential) combo strategy** ([#6297](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6297)) — the 18th routing strategy runs targets **in order**, threading each step's output into the next step's input, with an optional per-step `prompt` (system instruction); only the final step's response is returned. Distinct from `fusion` (parallel fan-out + judge). Implemented as a self-contained `open-sse/services/pipeline.ts` (sibling to `fusion.ts`), dispatched from `combo.ts`; the step list reuses `combo.models` order and reads an optional `prompt` off each target (backward-compatible — ignored by every other strategy). Intermediate steps run non-streaming with tools stripped (complete prose to thread forward); the final step keeps the client's `stream` flag + tools. A failing/empty/unparseable intermediate step fails the whole pipeline explicitly via a sanitized error (never silently swallowed). Kilo's dup flag vs #563 was a false positive (that's model→chain selection; this is a sequential chain). Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-pipeline-strategy.test.ts` (5). (thanks @ofekbetzalel)
+- **feat(ci):** `check:test-masking` now flags **inline-reimplemented prod conditions** ([#6348](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6348)) — a new **report-only** subcheck (v2, 6A.10 family) catches the wrong-shape contract test: a test that recomputes the condition under test inline instead of importing/exercising the real function (the #6216 class, where `=== 500` → `>= 500` stayed green because the test re-implemented the branch). For each added/modified test file it warns when the file textually duplicates a ≥3-token conditional from a production file touched in the same PR **and** does not import the symbol/module owning it, via a pure, fixture-tested `findReimplementedConditions()` with an allowlist mirroring `assertReductionAllowlist`. Report-only for now (does not fail the gate) — to be promoted to blocking after a triage cycle. Regression guard: `tests/unit/check-test-masking.test.ts` (45).
+- **feat(sse):** per-connection routing override (native vs CLIProxyAPI) ([#6339](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6339)) — the previously-dead `isCliproxyapiDeepModeEnabled` helper is now wired into `resolveExecutorWithProxy`: a single connection can opt itself into the CLIProxyAPI passthrough executor via `providerSpecificData.cliproxyapiMode="claude-native"`, with precedence **connection override > provider `upstream_proxy_config` mode > default**. `resolveExecutorWithProxy` now receives the resolved connection's `providerSpecificData` (threaded from `chatCore.ts`), so one connection can deep-route while the provider's other connections stay native — no DB schema change (the toggle rides in `providerSpecificData`). Also resolves the same-provider mixing ask in #6340. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chatcore-executor-proxy.test.ts` (9). (thanks @RaviTharuma)
+- **feat(dashboard):** "Add session cookie" modal now shows a prominent **"Open ‹host› →"** link to the provider's own site ([#6268](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6268)) — every `-web` cookie-session provider (chatgpt-web, claude-web, gemini-web, kimi-web, lmarena, qwen-web, m365-copilot-web, …) renders a one-click external link (opening the provider's login/home page in a new tab) so operators no longer tab away to retype the URL mid-setup. The host resolves from a pure, unit-tested `resolveWebProviderHost()` (prefers `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS[id].website`, falls back to the registry `baseUrl` origin); non-web providers render exactly as before. Kilo's dup flag vs #6265 (modal-too-small-on-1080p) was a false positive — distinct concern. Regression guard: `tests/unit/resolve-web-provider-host.test.ts` (5). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add **DigitalOcean** AI (serverless inference) as an OpenAI-compatible API-key provider ([#6373](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6373)) — base `https://inference.do-ai.run/v1`, wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/digitalocean/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/inference-hosts.ts`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/digitalocean-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @newnol)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Huancheng Public API** (`hcnsec`) as an OpenAI-compatible regional provider ([#6410](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6410)) — Xinjiang Huancheng Cybersecurity's public LLM platform (base `https://api.hcnsec.cn/v1`, free credits via daily check-ins), wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/hcnsec/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/regional.ts`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/hcnsec-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @UnrealAryan)
+- **feat(dashboard):** the web-session credential guide now shows an **"Open {host}" link** ([#6316](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6316)) to the provider's sign-in site (derived from the provider `website` via `getProviderWebsiteHost`), so you can jump straight to the page where the cookie/session must be captured. Regression guard: `tests/unit/web-session-provider-link-6316.test.ts`. (thanks @jordansilly77-stack)
+- **feat(cerebras):** add the **Gemma 4 31B** model (`gemma-4-31b`) to the Cerebras registry + pricing table ([#6331](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6331)). Regression guard extends `tests/unit/t28-model-catalog-updates.test.ts`. (thanks @backryun)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Yuanbao (web)** as a cookie-session provider ([#6196](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6196)) — `yuanbao-web` (Tencent Yuanbao, `yuanbao.tencent.com`) with cookie-only auth (`hy_user`/`hy_token` + public agent id), SSE→OpenAI translation incl. `reasoning_content`, exposing DeepSeek V3/R1 + Hunyuan / Hunyuan-T1. Regression guard: `tests/unit/providers-yuanbao-web.test.ts`. `together-web` was **deferred** (no verifiable web-session endpoint — needs a captured request) and `huggingchat-web` **dropped** (the existing `huggingchat` already is a web-cookie provider). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** route the built-in **agentrouter** through the dynamic Claude-Code wire image ([#6056](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6056)) — a small static allow-set (`CC_WIRE_IMAGE_BUILTINS` in `open-sse/services/ccWireImageBuiltins.ts`), consulted by `isClaudeCodeCompatible` / `isClaudeCodeCompatibleProvider` / `applyFingerprint`, makes agentrouter adopt the CC wire-image headers + fingerprint **while guarding the CC baseUrl/auth branches** so it keeps its own registry `baseUrl` and `x-api-key` auth. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentrouter-cc-wire-image.test.ts` (asserts the wire image is applied AND agentrouter's baseUrl/auth are preserved). Live WAF-acceptance against agentrouter.org is a VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18).
+- **feat(providers):** **bulk-add API keys for Cloudflare Workers AI** ([#6174](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6174)) — `cloudflare-ai` is removed from the bulk-add exclusion list and the bulk parser gains a 3-field `name|accountId|apiKey` mode; the bulk route now builds a **per-entry** `providerSpecificData` so each key carries its own `accountId` (fixing the previous shared-object reuse), and both the create + key-validation paths receive it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/bulk-api-key-parser-cloudflare.test.ts`. (thanks @muflifadla38)
+- **feat(dashboard):** routing/settings UX clarity ([#6147](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6147)) — (1) weighted combos show the **effective routing share %** next to each weight when weights don't sum to 100 (`WeightTotalBar.tsx`); (2) the status widget's user-facing **"Cloud Sync" label is renamed** to "Remote Settings Sync" (`CloudSyncStatus.tsx`; internal ids/state untouched); (3) built-in providers gain an **opt-in advanced base-URL override** (`isBaseUrlOverrideEligibleProvider`, hidden behind an "Advanced" toggle, reusing the existing `providerSpecificData.baseUrl` persistence — not globally widened). Regression guard: `tests/unit/routing-settings-ux-6147.test.ts`.
+- **feat(combo):** add an option to **disable session stickiness**, per-combo or globally — round-robin / random combos can rotate to a different connection on every request instead of pinning a whole conversation to one connection by its first-message hash. Resolution precedence per-combo `config.disableSessionStickiness` → global `settings.disableSessionStickiness` → default `false` (preserves the #3825 prompt-cache/504 fix); gates **both** stickiness call sites in `open-sse/services/combo.ts`. Exposed as a global toggle (Combo Defaults) and a per-combo Inherit/on/off control. ([#6168](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6168)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-disable-session-stickiness.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+- **feat(docker):** add the `OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO` env flag for root-less / user-namespaced deployments — the MITM cert-trust command path (`resolveSudoSpawn` in `src/mitm/systemCommands.ts`) now strips the leading `sudo` when the flag is truthy, in addition to the existing root / sudo-missing cases, so the Proxy Agent runs without `sudo` (the operator trusts the CA manually, e.g. via `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`). Argv-array `spawn` preserved — no shell interpolation (Hard Rule #13). ([#6122](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6122)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-systemCommands-no-sudo.test.ts`. (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Requesty** as an OpenAI-compatible gateway provider (BYOK, base `https://router.requesty.ai/v1`, ~200 free requests/day) — wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/requesty/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/gateways.ts`). ([#6120](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6120)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/requesty-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add **configured-only / available-only filters** to the Free Provider Rankings page ([#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150)) — hide providers you haven't configured, or whose connections are all rate-limited / out of quota, via server-side query params (`?configuredOnly` / `?availableOnly` on `GET /api/free-provider-rankings`) backed by a testable lib helper reusing the in-process connection state (no Redis). Both filters default off, so the default view is unchanged; this supersedes the earlier client-side "Configured Only" toggle (#6245) with an available-only dimension and unit-tested logic. Regression guard: `tests/unit/freeProviderRankings-filters.test.ts`.
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(dashboard):** adding a second API key connection for the same provider no longer silently overwrites the first — the Add-API-key modal now derives a unique default connection name (`main`, then `main-2`, `main-3`, …) so the backend name-based upsert can't collide (#6499 — thanks @dilneiss).
+- **fix(compression):** the session-dedup engine now also deduplicates a large multi-line block repeated **within a single message** (intra-message dedup), not just across turns; the compression-preview API surfaces a `fallbackReason`, and the fusion panel reports how many models were rate-limited vs failed on total-panel failure (#6501 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **fix(compression):** a stacked-pipeline step naming an unregistered engine now surfaces a `validationErrors` entry instead of silently no-op'ing, so misconfigured pipelines are visible in the preview API (#6506 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **feat(usage):** add a **Codex reset-credit redemption** flow to the Provider Limits UI ([#6361](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6361)) — a `useCodexResetCreditRedemption` hook + `/api/usage/codex-reset-credit` route + `codexResetCredits` lib let you redeem banked Codex reset credits from the quota card. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-reset-credits.test.ts`. (thanks @JxnLexn)
+- **feat(glm):** add **team-plan quota settings** for `glm-cn` connections ([#6351](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6351)) — a dedicated `GlmTeamQuotaFields` form section (team quota id / limits) threaded through the Add/Edit connection modals, persisted via `providerSpecificData`, with the GLM usage service reading the team quota. Regression guards: `tests/unit/glm-team-quota.test.ts`, `provider-specific-data-schema.test.ts`. (thanks @hao3039032)
+- **feat(providers):** add **TinyFish** web-fetch/search support ([#6349](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6349)) — a `tinyfish-fetch` executor + `/v1/web/fetch` route + MCP web-fetch tool, registered as a specialty-media provider with request-validation and a search-provider catalog entry. Regression guards: `tests/unit/executor-tinyfish-fetch.test.ts`, `web-fetch-handler.test.ts`, `mcp-web-fetch-tool.test.ts`, `provider-validation-tinyfish.test.ts`. (thanks @dtybnrj)
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute launch-codex` now spawns `codex.cmd` through a shell on Windows (the npm `.cmd` shim is unresolvable by bare `spawn` → ENOENT), mirroring the qodercli Windows fix (#6263) ([#6312](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6312)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/launch-codex-windows-spawn-6312.test.ts`. (thanks @swingtempo)
+- **fix(codex):** isolate the **Spark** quota from the shared Codex quota and stabilize the quota UI ordering / hydration so per-scope limits render consistently ([#6336](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6336)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/codex-quota-selection-hydration.test.ts`, `provider-limits-ui.test.ts` + 3 more. (thanks @xz-dev)
+- **feat(api):** add a `hidePaidModels` setting that filters paid-only models out of the `/v1/models` catalog. Regression guard: `tests/unit/models-catalog-hide-paid.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api-manager):** the fallback model picker now preserves combos instead of dropping them when a primary model is unavailable ([#6443](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6443)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api-manager-page-static.test.ts`. (thanks @jmengit)
+- **fix(providers):** recoverable Antigravity / Cloud-Code (Gemini Code Assist) `403` responses ([#6452](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6452)) are now classified as a retryable project-config error instead of a terminal account ban, so a fixable project/API-disabled 403 no longer forces a ~1-year cooldown / full OAuth reconnect. Regression guard: `tests/unit/errorclassifier-antigravity-403.test.ts`. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(mitm):** `sanitizeHeaders` now redacts `Set-Cookie` response headers so upstream session cookies never leak into logs / diagnostics ([#6451](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6451)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-sanitize-headers.test.ts`. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(api):** `/api/compression/preview` now accepts `mode: "caveman"` and correctly handles stacked / zero-compression previews ([#6425](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6425)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api/compression-preview-caveman-and-stacked-6425.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Zed** hosted LLM aggregator as a native-app provider ([#6118](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6118)) — OAuth sign-in via the Zed hosted flow, registered through the shared provider registry + executor. Regression guards: `tests/unit/zed-oauth-provider.test.ts`, `zed-import-utils.test.ts`, `zed-docker-detect.test.ts`, `mitm-handler-zed.test.ts`. VPS-validated via live operator login (Hard Rule #18).
+- **fix(oauth):** the Kiro SSO-cache auto-import now **preserves the IDC region** — cross-region Amazon Q / Kiro profiles imported from the SSO cache are no longer collapsed to the default region ([#6113](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6113)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kiro-auto-import-idc-2059.test.ts`. VPS-validated via live operator login (Hard Rule #18).
+- **fix(dashboard):** passthrough model aliases no longer collide when two namespaced model ids share a last segment (port from 9router#1850, [#6431](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6431)). `enx/gpt-5.5` and `enx/codebuddy/gpt-5.5` both auto-generated the alias `gpt-5.5`, so the second model could never be added (the UI just alerted "alias already exists"). Aliases are now disambiguated deterministically — bare last segment when free, then parent-qualified (`codebuddy-gpt-5.5`), then a numeric suffix — while re-adding the exact same model id is still blocked. Regression guard: `tests/unit/passthrough-alias-1850.test.ts`. (thanks @arpicato)
+- **fix(translator):** preserve a Gemini `functionResponse` co-located with other parts (another `functionCall`, or trailing `text`) in the same content when translating **Gemini → OpenAI** ([#6376](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6376)). `convertGeminiContent()` early-returned the tool message on the first `functionResponse` part, dropping any co-located parts; such contents are now pre-split (one tool message per `functionResponse`, emitted first, plus one message for the remaining parts). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-to-openai-function-response.test.ts`. (thanks @warelik)
+- **fix(headroom):** detect a python interpreter managed by **mise / pyenv / asdf / conda** (port from 9router#2353, [#6382](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6382)). Headroom's python probe (`src/lib/headroom/detect.ts`) searched a hardcoded `PATH`, but version managers expose their interpreters via shim dirs that only join `PATH` through interactive-shell activation — which the non-interactive server never runs, so a managed python (≥3.10) was invisible and Headroom reported it missing. The search path now prepends the well-known shim/bin dirs (`~/.local/share/mise/shims`, `~/.pyenv/shims`, `~/.asdf/shims`, `$CONDA_PREFIX/bin`, `~/.local/bin`, respecting `MISE_DATA_DIR`/`PYENV_ROOT`/`ASDF_DATA_DIR` when set), and a new `HEADROOM_PYTHON` env override lets operators point straight at their interpreter (mirroring `HEADROOM_URL`). Still shell-free (`execFileSync`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/headroom-detect.test.ts` (5). (thanks @loopyd)
+- **fix(executors):** strip the OpenAI-Codex/Claude-CLI `client_metadata` passthrough field for **NVIDIA** requests (port from 9router#1887, [#6411](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6411)). NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible wrapper rejects it with `400 Unsupported parameter`, the same class already handled for `cerebras`/`mistral`; `nvidia` (executor `default`) was missing from the strip allowlist so Codex/Claude-Code passthrough requests 400'd. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executor-default-strip-client-metadata.test.ts` (+nvidia case). (thanks @phidinhmanh)
+- **fix(translator):** strip the Claude-style `thinking` field for **NVIDIA `z-ai/glm-5.2`** (port from 9router#2023, [#6413](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6413)). NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible wrapper 400s on `thinking` (a Claude-format client routed here leaves a `thinking:{type:"adaptive"}`); the existing strip rule only dropped `reasoning`. Same class already handled for `minimax-m2.7`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-minimax-thinking-strip.test.ts` (+glm-5.2 case). (thanks @phidinhmanh)
+- **fix(translator):** suppress the streamed `</think>` close marker for the **Antigravity IDE** client (port from 9router#1061, [#6415](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6415)). On thinking-only turns Antigravity rendered a bare `</think>` as the sole visible content, tripping its loop-detection and wasting requests. Antigravity's UA (`vscode/<v> (Antigravity/<v>)`) is added to the marker-suppress allowlist (alongside OpenCode); Claude Code / Cursor still get the marker, and `x-omniroute-thinking-marker: on` force-restores it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/think-close-marker-suppress-5245.test.ts`. (thanks @abdofallah)
+- **fix(executors):** strip nested `reasoning_content` from messages for **Mistral** (port from 9router#1649, [#6417](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6417)). Mistral's API returns `422 extra_forbidden` when an assistant message carries `reasoning_content` (replayed thinking from a prior turn, e.g. via the Codex `/responses` path); the generic top-level 400 field-downgrade retry never covered the nested per-message field. `DefaultExecutor` now strips it for provider `mistral` only, so DeepSeek (which requires replayed `reasoning_content`) is unaffected. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mistral-strip-reasoning-content-1649.test.ts`. (thanks @xxy9468615)
+- **fix(executors):** strip the `client_metadata` passthrough field on the **OpenCode** path (port from 9router#1442, [#6418](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6418)). OpenCode upstreams (e.g. `kimi-k2.6` via opencode-go) reject it with `400 "Extra inputs are not permitted, field: 'client_metadata'"`; the DefaultExecutor strip only covered cerebras/mistral and `OpencodeExecutor` extends `BaseExecutor` directly, so nothing removed it there. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-strip-client-metadata-1442.test.ts`. (thanks @yanpaing007)
+- **fix(executors):** inject the `reasoning_content` echo for the native **Moonshot Kimi** provider (port from 9router#1480, [#6419](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6419)). Kimi (executor `default`) is a thinking-mode upstream that 400s with "reasoning_content must be passed back" when a prior assistant turn lacks it; the placeholder injection was only wired into the OpenCode meta-provider, so direct multi-turn Kimi conversations failed. Scoped to `kimi` (gateway-served models matching the thinking-model name pattern are unaffected). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kimi-native-reasoning-injected-1480.test.ts`. (thanks @2220258345)
+- **fix(executors):** recover from a strict gateway's `context_management: Extra inputs are not permitted` 400 (port from 9router#1468, [#6420](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6420)). **Claude Code** always sends a top-level `context_management` field; strict anthropic-compatible gateways reject it. The dedicated context-editing 400-fallback only fired when OmniRoute's own `contextEditing` feature was enabled (default off), so a client-sent field passed through untouched and 400'd. `context_management` is now in the generic reactive field-strip list, so it's stripped-and-retried once regardless of the feature flag (with correct request re-signing for claude-compatible relays). Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-field-strips.test.ts`. (thanks @ohahe52-dot)
+- **fix(network):** enable **RFC 8305 Happy Eyeballs** (`autoSelectFamily`) on the direct-egress undici dispatcher (port from 9router#1237, [#6423](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6423)). When DNS returns both IPv6 (AAAA) and IPv4 (A) and the IPv6 route is broken (e.g. a NAT64 `64:ff9b::` prefix without routing), undici tried IPv6 first and hung until `ETIMEDOUT` (then a 502 + account lockout), even though `curl` reached the same host. The direct dispatcher now races both families and uses whichever connects first. Proxy paths pin family via `proxyTls` and are unaffected. Regression guard: `tests/unit/direct-dispatcher-pipelining-4580.test.ts`. (thanks @adentdk)
+- **fix(combo):** round-robin now advances the rotation pointer past the model that **actually served**, not the eagerly-scheduled one (port from 9router#948, [#6428](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6428)). With `stickyLimit: 1` (true round-robin), when the scheduled model failed and a _different_ model served via fallback, the counter had already advanced +1 from the scheduled index — so the next request reused the fallback-served model, degrading round-robin into hot-spotting on whichever model was healthy. The pointer now advances to the served index + 1 (mirroring the sticky-limit>1 path). Session-stickiness (#3825) and distribution are preserved. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-rr-fallback-advance-948.test.ts`. (thanks @binsarjr)
+- **fix(sse):** a non-string `model` field is now rejected with a `400` before the resolver, instead of crashing downstream `.toLowerCase()`/`.split()` calls into an empty-body `500` that escapes the error sanitizer ([#6407](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6407)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/chat-non-string-model-6407.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** unknown `/api/*` routes now return a JSON `404` (instead of the dashboard HTML shell) and scalar chat params (`model`/`temperature`/etc.) are validated **before** the provider lookup so malformed requests fail fast with a clear `400` ([#6424](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6424), [#6412](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6412)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/api/api-catchall-json-404.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chat-early-schema-validation-6412.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/chat/completions` now rejects a non-JSON `Content-Type` with a `400` before parsing the body ([#6414](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6414)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-chat-completions-content-type-6414.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the `X-OmniRoute-Compression` response header is now echoed on `/v1/chat/completions` and `/v1/completions` ([#6422](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6422)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression-header-echo-6422.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** concurrent `GET /v1/models` requests are coalesced into a single catalog build ([#6408](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6408)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-models-concurrent-6408.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/completions` now echoes the requested `body.model` in its JSON + streamed responses ([#6429](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6429)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/completions-body-model-echo.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** env-var master keys now see the full `/v1/models` catalog ([#6406](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6406)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/models-catalog-envkey-6406.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** non-streaming `/v1/completions` responses now echo `body.model` aligned with the `X-OmniRoute-Model` header ([#6426](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6426)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-completions-model-header-match-6426.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** unknown `/v1/*` routes now return a JSON `404 not_found` instead of the Next.js dashboard HTML shell ([#6405](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6405)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api/v1-catchall-json-404.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the per-connection provider models route now degrades to the shipped catalog when a provider's `/models` endpoint answers with a redirect ([#6267](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6267)) — a `qwen-web` import failed with a raw `Redirect blocked … (307)` 503. `safeOutboundFetch` throws `REDIRECT_BLOCKED` on the 307, `getSafeOutboundFetchErrorStatus` maps it to 503, and `buildDiscoveryErrorFallbackResponse` treated every 503 as a hard error — so the non-empty `getModelsByProviderId("qwen-web")` catalog was never surfaced. A models-endpoint redirect is not a fixable-config error (unlike `URL_GUARD_BLOCKED`/`INVALID_URL`, which stay hard errors), so it now falls back to the local/cached catalog before the 503 short-circuit. General fix — covers any config-driven provider that 307s. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-qwen-web-redirect-6267.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the per-connection provider models route (MCP `list_models_catalog` + the dashboard import view) now merges USER-ADDED custom models into its response ([#6247](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6247)) — custom models live in the `key_value` namespace `customModels`, which the live REST `/api/v1/models` already merges, but `src/app/api/providers/[id]/models/route.ts` never read `getCustomModels`, so custom models were dropped on both the discovery-success and local_catalog paths. They are now folded into the returned model list (deduped by id, stamped `owned_by: provider`), fixing MCP + the dashboard import view in one place. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-custom-merge-6247.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo tool-calling follow-up turns no longer fail upstream with `422 {"detail":"Validation error"}` (tokens 0/0, rejected pre-inference). The #6234 tool-result-feedback fix serialized the **entire** multi-turn conversation into GitLab's single-file `code_suggestions` (`small_file`) generation endpoint — folded history that turn-N sent as an oversized `current_file.content_above_cursor` **and** duplicated verbatim into `user_instruction`, tripping the AI-Gateway's `small_file` validation guard. The executor now **bounds** that prompt: it keeps system + latest user message + the most-recent tool round (dropping older turns), caps oversized tool results, and stops duplicating the full prompt into `user_instruction` (which now carries only the short latest user message) — while still feeding the most-recent tool result back so the agent continues (`open-sse/executors/gitlab.ts`, [#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)). The unit test covers the bounding logic; the upstream 422→200 clearing is VPS-only (Hard Rule #18). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-exchange-bounded-6220.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(i18n):** the provider-detail (`/dashboard/providers/[id]`) connection-status filter labels no longer render as `__MISSING__:All` / `__MISSING__:Active` / `__MISSING__:Error` / `__MISSING__:Banned` / `__MISSING__:CreditsExhausted` in non-English locales (notably pt-BR) ([#6290](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6290)). Root cause was **not** the namespace mismatch the issue guessed — the `providers.filter*` keys resolve correctly in `en.json`; the debt lived in the locale mirrors (`src/i18n/messages/*.json`), where these five keys carried the `__MISSING__:` sync sentinel in ~15 locales and were absent entirely in ~26 others, so next-intl found the key and echoed the sentinel verbatim. All 40 non-English/-Chinese mirrors now ship real translations for the five `providers.filter*` labels. Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-provider-filter-keys-6290.test.ts`. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(providers):** the `copilot-m365-web` streaming executor now emits `debug`-level WebSocket diagnostics ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)) — the outbound WS URL (with the `access_token` **redacted** via `redactWsUrl()`), handshake success/failure, and each received SignalR frame's `type`/`target`. Previously the streaming path logged nothing, so an empty `content:null` response (the M365 Education / Starter tier symptom fixed in #6234) was undiagnosable even at `APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug`. The change is debug-level and side-effect-free — it does not alter streaming behavior or the frame parser, and the token never reaches the logs. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-web-logging-6210.test.ts` (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(resilience):** a round-robin combo no longer returns `503 all upstream accounts are unavailable` when a compatibility-rejected target is actually healthy ([#6238](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6238)). `filterTargetsByRequestCompatibility` drops request-incompatible targets (tool/vision/structured-output unsupported, or below the required context window) **before** any availability check runs, and its `compatible.length === 0` safety net only fired when _all_ targets were filtered — not when the kept targets later all turned out runtime-unavailable (circuit-open / cooldown / no credentials). So a combo could 503 while a compat-rejected-but-healthy provider sat unused. `handleRoundRobinCombo` now keeps the compat-rejected set and, when every compat-kept target was skipped without a single real attempt, probes those rejected targets as a **last-resort fallback tier** (via the new pure `open-sse/services/combo/comboCompatFallback.ts`) before crystallizing the 503. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-roundrobin-compat-fallback-6238.test.ts`. (thanks @ThongAccount)
+
+- **fix(startup):** best-effort self-heal for a corrupted Turbopack dev cache on Windows ([#6289](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6289)). On Windows, `pnpm dev` can fail at startup when Turbopack `mmap`s a persistent-cache SST file and the OS refuses the mapping (`os error 1455` — "paging file too small"), which Turbopack surfaces as a misleading `Module not found: Can't resolve '@/shared/utils/machine'`. This is a **known upstream Turbopack cache-corruption bug — not our code**. The dev launcher (`scripts/dev/run-next.mjs`) now wraps `nextApp.prepare()` and, when it rejects with that signature (`isTurbopackCacheCorruption` in the new `scripts/dev/turbopackCacheHeal.mjs`), purges `.build/next/**/cache/turbopack` and retries **once** with a clear log. **Caveat — best-effort only:** the corruption often surfaces as a runtime overlay rather than a `prepare()` rejection, so this cannot always intercept it; the reliable remedy remains manually deleting the Turbopack cache dir. Regression guard: `tests/unit/turbopack-cache-heal-6289.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(providers):** qodercli PAT auth no longer fails with `spawn qodercli ENOENT` on Windows ([#6263](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6263)) — `spawnQoderCli` spawned the bare `qodercli` name with `shell:false` and an unenriched env, so the npm `.cmd` wrapper under `%APPDATA%\npm` (a user-PATH directory) was never resolved. It now resolves the absolute `.cmd`/`.exe` path through the existing `getCliRuntimeStatus("qoder")` resolver in `src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts` (memoized), spawns with `shell` when the target is a `.cmd`/`.bat`, and uses the cliRuntime-enriched env (PATH + PATHEXT + APPDATA); the ENOENT error now lists the searched paths plus the `CLI_QODER_BIN` override. End-to-end spawn on a real Windows host is host-only (Hard Rule #18); the path-resolution logic is unit-tested. Regression guard: `tests/unit/qodercli-windows-resolve-6263.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(sse):** the reasoning-token buffer no longer inflates **probe-sized `max_tokens`** ([#6274](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6274)) — Claude Code's `/model` capability check sends `max_tokens: 1`, but for a thinking-capable model with a large output cap (e.g. `glm-5.2`) the #3587 headroom heuristic (`max(current + 1000, ceil(current * 1.5))`) rewrote it to `1001` and forwarded that upstream, wasting tokens on a request that was never a genuine reasoning budget. `resolveReasoningBufferedMaxTokens()` (`open-sse/services/reasoningTokenBuffer.ts`) now short-circuits and returns the caller's value verbatim when it is below the new `REASONING_BUFFER_MIN_TRIGGER` (256) threshold — a tiny explicit limit is a probe, not a reasoning request. Real budgets still receive the #3587 headroom unchanged, and the guard runs after the existing capability checks so unknown / non-reasoning models keep returning `null`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/reasoning-token-buffer-6274.test.ts`. (thanks @brightfiscalband)
+
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute reset-password` now works as a real subcommand, and password resets over piped (non-TTY) stdin actually apply ([#6261](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6261), [#6258](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6258)). Two coupled defects: (1) **#6261** — `bin/omniroute.mjs` routed everything through Commander with only two pre-Commander bypasses (`--mcp`, `reset-encrypted-columns`), so `omniroute reset-password` was rejected as an unknown command; only the separate `omniroute-reset-password` bin worked, while the docs falsely advertised the subcommand (incl. a bogus "legacy alias still works"). A pre-Commander bypass mirroring `reset-encrypted-columns` now dynamically imports `bin/reset-password.mjs` (which self-executes) before Commander parses; the three doc lines were corrected. (2) **#6258** — `bin/reset-password.mjs` issued two sequential `rl.question` prompts; under piped stdin the second read never settled at EOF, so `main()` never reached `resetManagementPassword` and the reset was a silent no-op (both prompts printed, no success, password unchanged). The CLI now detects non-TTY stdin and reads it once (first line = password, second line = confirm if present, else reused), adds a `--password-stdin` flag (entire stdin is the password, no confirmation), and exits `0` explicitly so the success line always flushes; interactive TTY behavior is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/reset-password-cli-6261-6258.test.ts` (3). (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(db):** the mass-migration **safety abort** now tells the operator how to bypass it and stops flooding the log ([#6260](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6260)) — after restoring a backup that wiped the migration tracking table, `runMigrations()` threw the abort on every downstream `ensureDbInitialized()`, re-logging the full banner 11+ times, and the message never mentioned the existing `OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS` escape hatch. The abort text now appends a bypass hint (set `OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS=0` in `server.env` / `DATA_DIR/.env`), and a new `MigrationSafetyAbortError` is memoized so repeated calls in the same process throw the same instance and emit a single concise line instead of the full cascade. Regression guard: `tests/unit/migration-safety-abort-6260.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(auth):** importing a **distinct** Codex/ChatGPT OAuth `auth.json` is no longer falsely rejected as "already exists" when it belongs to a different user in the same workspace ([#6301](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6301)). `findExistingCodexConnection` (in `src/lib/oauth/utils/codexAuthImport.ts`) deduped **only** on `providerSpecificData.workspaceId === accountId`, where `accountId` is the shared `chatgpt_account_id`/`tokens.account_id` — so two members of the same ChatGPT Team collapsed onto a single connection (409 `duplicate_account`). The id_token's `https://api.openai.com/auth` claim carries a per-user `chatgpt_user_id` alongside the workspace id (the device-flow path already persisted it as `chatgptUserId`, but the import path did not). Now `parseAndValidateCodexAuth` extracts `userId` (`chatgpt_user_id` → `user_id` → JWT `sub`) into `ParsedCodexAuth`, the create/update paths persist `chatgptUserId` in `providerSpecificData` (mirroring `codex.ts`), and dedup keys on `workspaceId` **AND** `chatgptUserId` — with a backward-compat fallback to legacy accountId-only matching when no stored connection for that workspace records a `chatgptUserId`, so genuinely-same accounts still dedup. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-auth-import-userid-dedup-6301.test.ts` (4). (thanks @anungma)
+
+- **fix(providers):** importing models for the **venice-web** provider no longer fails with a red "Provider venice-web does not support models listing" ([#6269](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6269)). `venice-web` is a web-cookie provider with an executor but no upstream `/v1/models` endpoint and no registry `models`, so the models route fell through to the tail `400`. Mirroring the `jules`/`linkup-search`/`ollama-search` fix (#5569), it now ships a static local catalog entry in `src/lib/providers/staticModels.ts` — seeding the current Venice lineup (`venice-uncensored`, `llama-3.3-70b`, `qwen3-235b`, `qwen3-4b`, `deepseek-r1-671b`; Venice rotates its catalog, see docs.venice.ai/models/overview) — so the route returns `200` with `source:"local_catalog"`, `intentional:true`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/static-models-venice-web-6269.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(api):** the specialty model catalogs (`/v1/embeddings`, `/v1/images`, `/v1/music`, `/v1/videos` model lists) are now derived from the **unified catalog filtered by a predicate** (`getSpecialtyModelsResponse`) instead of ad-hoc per-route logic, so they consistently respect active-credential visibility and stay in sync with the main catalog ([#6303](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6303)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/specialty-model-catalog-routes.test.ts`. (thanks @makcimbx)
+- **fix(api):** the agent-bridge server route now resolves the MITM manager via a **dynamic `import("@/mitm/manager.runtime")`** so Turbopack does not statically pull the stub (or over-bundle the manager), and the agent-skills generator anchors its output base path with `path.join(process.cwd(), …)` so Turbopack's static analyzer stops tracing the whole project root ([#6329](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6329), [#6366](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6366)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/agent-bridge-server-route-dynamic-import.test.ts`. (thanks @Iammilansoni)
+- **fix(api):** internal probes (combo-test, cloud-sync verify) now pick a **management-scoped / allow-all API key** instead of naively grabbing `getApiKeys()[0]` — a restricted `self:usage` first row made the probe fail with "Model X is not allowed for this API key" even when the combo path was healthy (`pickApiKeyForInternalUse` in `src/lib/db/apiKeys.ts`). The API-manager model editor also falls back to `/api/models?all=true` when `/v1/models` is catalog-protected ([#6372](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6372)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/pick-internal-api-key-6372.test.ts`. (thanks @jmengit)
+- **fix(live-ws):** the Live Dashboard WebSocket server now **rejects on bind failure** (e.g. `EADDRINUSE` when the API bridge already holds the port) instead of letting the error surface as an unhandled `error` event that crash-loops the process — the `error` listener is attached to `wss` (not `server`) and releases the EventBus subscription on a failed start ([#6324](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6324)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/live-ws-eaddrinuse-6324.test.ts`. (thanks @vinayakkulkarni)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the Home provider-topology widget now trusts the live provider-metrics snapshot — it uses `topology.errorProvider` and live `activeRequests` directly instead of re-deriving state from a stale `lastErrorAt` or applying a frontend timeout filter, so the topology reflects real-time provider health ([#6322](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6322)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/home-provider-topology-live-state.test.ts`. (thanks @xz-dev)
+- **fix(sse):** strip zero-width markers from streamed **tool-call arguments** — a follow-up to [#5857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5857). That PR removed injected zero-width joiners (U+200D) from streamed assistant text/reasoning but deliberately left tool-call argument JSON byte-exact. The request-side obfuscation (`open-sse/services/claudeCodeObfuscation.ts`) injects ZWJ into agent words — including the temp path inside the Bash tool description — and Claude models copy that verbatim into generated commands, which are delivered as tool-call arguments rather than assistant text. As a result the ZWJ survived and corrupted code blocks (e.g. a temp path rendered with an invisible joiner). Now `open-sse/handlers/responseSanitizer.ts` strips zero-width code points from tool-call argument strings at every emit site (OpenAI non-stream/stream chat `tool_calls` + legacy `function_call`, native Responses `function_call` items, the OpenAI→Responses conversion, and the native Responses streaming `response.function_call_arguments.delta/.done` events). Only zero-width code points are removed; JSON structure and all other bytes stay identical (no parse/restringify), so normal arguments remain byte-exact. Regression guard: 6 new cases in `tests/unit/response-sanitizer.test.ts` (suite 50/50).
+
+- **fix(nodejs):** the default app log path now resolves under `DATA_DIR` (`~/.omniroute/logs/application/app.log`) instead of `process.cwd()` ([#6197](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6197)) — the globally-installed CLI runs from an arbitrary working directory, so anchoring the default to cwd made file logging silently write to (or no-op under) an unrelated directory, contradicting the documented `.env.example` default. `getAppLogFilePath()` now computes the default lazily via the pure `resolveDataDir()` resolver (honours a per-process `DATA_DIR`, no directory-creation side effect); an explicit `APP_LOG_FILE_PATH` still wins. Regression guard: `tests/unit/logenv-datadir-path-6197.test.ts` (3).
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge/`startMitm` no longer aborts in containers/headless when the Antigravity-default DNS step can't write `/etc/hosts` ([#6127](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6127)), and the privileged command's stderr now reaches `app.log` instead of only a bare exit code hitting the toast ([#6198](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6198)). The default DNS step (`addDNSEntry`) was called unguarded while cert install and the two sibling DNS steps were each best-effort — in the runtime Docker image (`USER node`, no `sudo`, read-only `/etc/hosts`) it threw `Command failed with code 1` out of `startMitmInternal` and killed the whole start, discarding the stderr. The three DNS steps are extracted into a best-effort `provisionDnsEntries()` where each failure is logged with the full `err` (stderr included, folded in by `systemCommands.ts`) and never aborts the start. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-dns-graceful-degrade-6127.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** copilot-m365-web now supports the M365 Education "Starter / OfficeWebIncludedCopilot" tier and no longer returns an empty `content:null` stream ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)). Two gaps: (1) `buildWsUrl()` hardcoded the individual-consumer scenario (`OfficeWebPaidConsumerCopilot`, `isEdu=false`) — the EDU tier is now opt-in via `providerSpecificData.tier="edu"`, emitting `scenario=OfficeWebIncludedCopilot`/`isEdu=true` (the individual path is unchanged); (2) the EDU/GPT-5.5 path streams deltas via `arguments[0].writeAtCursor` (incremental) instead of only `messages[].text` (accumulated snapshots), which the parser dropped — a new `accumulateBotContent()` folds both formats, with `type:2 item.result.message` as a last-resort fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-edu-writeatcursor-6210.test.ts` (10). (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo executor now feeds tool results back into the prompt instead of looping ([#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)) — `buildPrompt()` branched only on `system`/`user` and took `userParts.at(-1)`, silently dropping the `assistant{tool_calls}` + `tool{result}` turns the client appended, so the reconstructed prompt was byte-identical to turn 1 and the model re-emitted the same `<tool>` call forever. When a tool exchange is present the full conversation is now serialized, folding each tool result back keyed by its `tool_call_id`; simple conversations keep the legacy shape. Complements the tool_call emission from [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051) (the `kilo-duplicate` label was a false positive — different, sequential defect). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-result-feedback-6220.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** opencode-go/opencode-zen can now synthesize the OpenCode CLI identity headers Cloudflare requires on VPS egress ([#5997](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5997)) — on a datacenter VPS, `opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/chat/completions` 403s (HTML challenge) requests lacking CLI identity, while the reporter's control curl proved that `User-Agent: opencode-cli/1.0.0` + `x-opencode-client: cli` + `x-opencode-project: default` + fresh request/session UUIDs succeed. Opt-in via `OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS=true` (values overridable via `OPENCODE_GO_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_CLIENT`/`OPENCODE_PROJECT`); it fills only headers the client did not already send. Kept **off by default** — the forward-only path is deliberate (fabricating a wrong value risks upstream rejection; a prior dedup regressed with `opencode/local`), so this replaces the fragile local header-injection shim without changing default behavior. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-cli-headers-synthesis-5997.test.ts` (6). (thanks @aleksesipenko)
+- fix(resilience): sticky session affinity now evicts and fails over to another account when the pinned account is exhausted/unavailable (#6219)
+
+- fix(sse): Responses API passthrough now drops internal commentary-phase output before forwarding to clients (gated by RESPONSES_PASSTHROUGH_DROP_COMMENTARY, default on) (#6199)
+
+- **fix(sse):** tool-call function schemas with a root `type: null` are now coerced to `type: "object"` before dispatch ([#6359](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6359)) — clients like the Codex app emit `parameters: { type: null, ... }` for some tools, which OpenAI-compatible upstreams reject with `400 Invalid schema for function '...': schema must be a JSON Schema of 'type: "object"', got 'type: null'`, failing the whole request. `toolSchemaSanitizer` already stripped the null; it now re-adds the mandatory root `"object"` type (and empty `properties`/open `additionalProperties` when absent). Combinator roots (`anyOf`/`oneOf`/`allOf`) and explicit root types are left untouched. Regression guard: 5 new cases in `tests/unit/tool-schema-sanitizer.test.mjs`.
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge no longer fails to start on npm/Electron/VPS installs with "MITM manager stub reached at runtime" ([#6344](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6344)) — v3.8.45 flipped the production bundler default to Turbopack, but `next.config.mjs` aliased `@/mitm/manager` to its Docker-only degraded stub **unconditionally**. That was harmless while Docker (which sets the alias intentionally for #3390 graceful degradation) was the sole Turbopack consumer, but once every artifact built with Turbopack the stub shipped to all non-Docker users and `startMitm` threw on the first Agent-Bridge start. The alias is now opt-in via `OMNIROUTE_MITM_STUB=1` (set only by the Dockerfile) through the shared `scripts/build/mitm-stub-flag.mjs` helper; default builds bundle the real manager. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-stub-alias-6344.test.mjs` (4).
+
+- **fix(proxy):** stop the v3.8.44 proxy regression that leaked the real IP and disabled healthy proxies ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Two coupled defects from the new health scheduler: (1) **IP leak** — when a proxy assigned to a connection was marked `inactive`, resolution fell through to a **direct** egress instead of blocking, exposing the operator's real IP; (2) **over-deactivation** — the sweep flipped a proxy to `inactive` on the **first** failed probe and counted our own 5s timeout / a probe-target `5xx` as the proxy's fault, so healthy paid proxies vanished from egress selection ("my proxies are not being used anymore"). Fix: the sweep decision is extracted into a pure, network-free `decideProxyHealthAction` (`src/lib/proxyHealth/decision.ts`) — by default the health check now **only counts/logs and never downgrades status** (a proxy is downgraded/removed only with `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE=true`, after `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE_AFTER` **consecutive** conclusive failures); probes are classified tri-state so an inconclusive result (our timeout, or a `5xx` from the probe target) never penalizes the proxy, and the probe timeout is raised 5s→15s. Separately, `safeResolveProxy` now **fails closed** via the existing policy: a connection whose assigned proxy is dead is blocked instead of leaking direct (`hasBlockingProxyAssignment`), honoring the explicit `proxy off` toggles and the `PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true` opt-out. Existing proxies stuck `inactive` by the old behavior need a one-time manual re-activate (the operator owns proxy status). Regression guards: `tests/unit/proxy-health-decide-action-6246.test.ts`, `tests/unit/proxy-assigned-unavailable-6246.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(proxy):** make "Test All" read-only and add bulk enable/disable ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Complements the core fail-closed / scheduler fix (#6296) with the two remaining reporter asks. (1) The **"Test All" button** (`POST /api/settings/proxies/auto-test`) used to flip a proxy to `inactive` on a failed reachability probe; since the egress selector excludes `inactive` proxies, a flaky probe (an unreachable `httpbin.org`, a proxy that blocks `HEAD`, or a slow paid proxy) silently disabled every proxy that failed — "Test All" is now **read-only by default** (only the operator sets a proxy active/inactive; opt back into the legacy test-and-set with `PROXY_HEALTH_AUTO_DEACTIVATE=true`). (2) Adds a **bulk enable/disable** proxies endpoint + toolbar action (`POST /api/settings/proxies/batch-activate`) so an operator can re-activate proxies in one click. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-health-6246.test.ts`. (thanks @tenshiak)
+
+- **chatcore (tools): stop the default 128-tool cap from silently dropping opencode's `task`/MCP tools.** opencode (used as an MCP/agent host) sends a large tool list; when it exceeds the speculative `MAX_TOOLS_LIMIT` (128) default, `truncateToolList` did a blind `tools.slice(0, 128)`, dropping every tool past index 128 — including opencode's built-in `task` tool (subagent launch) and many MCP tools, so models routed through OmniRoute could no longer spawn subagents or reach part of their tools. The cap exists to avoid upstream `400`s for providers with real hard limits (e.g. grok-cli 200), so it is kept for those: detection of the opencode client (`isOpencodeClient` — any `x-opencode-*` header, or `opencode` in the user-agent) now only bypasses the **speculative 128 default**, never a known provider ceiling. Precedence is explicit — a proactive/detected provider limit always truncates (even for opencode); otherwise opencode forwards its full tool list; otherwise the unchanged 128 default applies to every other client. Refactors `getEffectiveToolLimit` into `getKnownToolLimit(provider) ?? DEFAULT_LIMIT` (byte-identical for existing callers) and fixes a cosmetic debug-log that reported the truncated count instead of the original. Regression guard: `tests/unit/tool-limit-detector.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the macOS MITM-cert install check now matches the system keychain again. `security find-certificate -a -Z` prints the SHA-1 as a colon-less hex string, but the installed-check compared it against `getCertFingerprint()`'s colon-separated form, so the substring match never hit — the cert was reported as not-installed and re-prompted for the sudo install on every run. Fingerprints are now normalized (colons stripped, upper-cased) on both sides via the extracted `macCertOutputHasFingerprint` helper. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-cert-mac-fingerprint.test.ts`. ([#6204](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6204), closes [#6134](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6134) — thanks @rianonehub)
+
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/messages/count_tokens` now counts `tool_use`, `tool_result` and `thinking` content blocks (and array-form `system` prompts) in the local-estimation path, instead of only `text`. Real agentic conversations keep ~95% of their tokens inside tool results; the previous estimate returned near-zero for them, which silently broke Claude Code's auto-compaction (context grew past the window with no compaction until the upstream API rejected the request). The real provider-side count path is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/messages-count-tokens-route.test.ts`. ([#6221](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6221) — thanks @luweiCN)
+
+- **fix(antigravity):** strip a trailing assistant prefill turn for Vertex Claude models to avoid upstream 400s ([#6114](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6114)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-claude-prefill-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(security):** the mutable cloud-agent routes (`/api/cloud/credentials/update`, `/api/cloud/models/alias`) now require management auth instead of being treated as public. They were classified as public API routes, so a request without management credentials could update stored cloud-agent credentials and model aliases. They are removed from the public-route set, classified as management routes in the authz pipeline, and gated by `requireManagementAuth`; cloud **read**/auth routes stay public. Regression guards: `tests/unit/cloud-write-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts`, `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6233](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6233) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+
+- **refactor(dashboard):** extract the onboarding-wizard "Open provider details" link target into a pure, unit-tested `buildProviderDetailsHref(connection)` helper. The wizard already routes by `connection.id` (the node UUID) rather than the provider category slug (#6144/#6145); this hardens that behavior behind a tested helper that guards a missing id/connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-onboarding-href.test.ts`. ([#6166](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6166) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+
+- **fix(security):** the doubao synthetic device-id generator now derives its digits via an unbiased crypto-random draw (rejection sampling over `crypto.randomBytes()`) instead of a `% 10` reduction, closing a CodeQL `js/biased-cryptographic-random` finding.
+- **fix(agentSkills):** the GitHub-skills generator now resolves `outputDir` to an absolute path before writing, fixing a regression introduced by #6366 (relative-to-cwd base path) that could write generated skill files to the wrong directory.
+- **fix(security):** `/api/keys/{id}/devices` now checks the HTTP method before auth/validation, returning a `405` for non-GET/DELETE verbs instead of a misleading `401`/`500` (closes a `dast-smoke` QUERY-method finding).
+- **fix(quality):** clear the last 2 heavy quality-gate reds on the release tip (cycle pre-flight).
+- **fix(mitm):** the test suite and CI can never mutate the OS trust store — `OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1` is set globally for tests/CI so `installCert`/`uninstallCert`/`installTproxyCa` skip the privileged OS dispatch ([#6310](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6310); full detail is under the [3.8.45] section below — this branch received it via the parallel-cycle sync-back).
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/github-skills` now Zod-validates its request body; documented the new quality-gate env vars and pinned the merge-integrity GitHub Actions to a commit SHA.
+- **fix(skills):** generate the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry and align the agent-skills catalog-count tests (follow-up to #6186).
+- **fix(quality):** clear the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors and make `validate-release-green` suppressions-aware.
+- **fix(security):** proxy-pool `random` rotation now selects via `crypto.randomInt` instead of `Math.random` — silences the post-release CodeQL `js/insecure-randomness` alerts (#698/#699) that flagged `Math.random` flowing into the selected proxy's credentials. Load-balancing selection is not a secret, but the crypto source is unbiased and clears the alert at the origin (#6365 follow-up).
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **i18n(it):** add 118 missing Italian (`it`) translations (net-additive — no existing keys dropped, valid JSON), improving Italian UI coverage. ([#6212](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6212) — thanks @serverless83)
+- **chore(providers):** remove deprecated **MiMo V2** model entries from the catalogs (xiaomi-mimo, opencode-go, zenmux-free, audio TTS) — the upstream V2 line is superseded by MiMo V2.5; drops `mimo-v2-tts`, `mimo-v2-pro`, `mimo-v2-omni`, `mimo-v2-flash`, `mimo-v2-flash-free` and realigns the provider-catalog tests. ([#6248](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6248) — thanks @backryun)
+- **chore(release):** ~50 commits on this branch are v3.8.45 pre-flight/hardening fixes and CI-perf work that landed here via the parallel-cycle sync-back (`sync-next-cycle.mjs`, Hard Rule #21) **after** the `v3.8.45` git tag was cut, and are already fully documented under the **[3.8.45]** section below — listed here only so the per-cycle commit-coverage check (`npm run release:uncovered`) doesn't flag them as gaps. Provider/catalog/UX/backend fixes: #6041, #6078, #6108, #6135, #6148, #6149, #6154, #6158, #6161, #6162, #6163, #6164, #6165, #6170, #6177, #6178, #6181, #6186, #6187, #6191, #6193, #6194, #6195, #6200, #6205, #6208, #6209, #6211, #6213, #6223, #6224, #6225, #6226, #6227, #6228, #6229, #6230, #6235, #6291, #6292. CI/release-pipeline work: #6167, #6203, #6214, #6215, #6218, #6273, #6275, #6283, #6284, #6285, #6300, #6305.
+- **chore(release):** additional zero-ref release-cycle plumbing on this branch, kept out of `release:uncovered` on purpose (no `#N` in the commit subject to cite): opening the v3.8.46 cycle, opening/closing the v3.8.45 cycle, the finalized [3.8.45] CHANGELOG i18n sync-back to 42 mirrors, the v3.8.45 cognitive/cyclomatic and file-size drift rebaselines, ESLint stale-suppression pruning (4,273 → 4,233), and clearing test-masking/docs-all pre-flight reds for v3.8.45.
+
+### ⚡ Performance & Infrastructure
+
+- **perf(release-green):** the pre-flight validator (`scripts/quality/validate-release-green.mjs`) now runs its 4 slow suites (unit / vitest / integration / pack-artifact) **concurrently** via `Promise.all` — pre-flight wall time drops from ~the sum of the suites to ~the slowest one (~30min saved per round; Phase 0 was the nº1 bottleneck of the v3.8.45 release benchmark, 2h54 of 6h34 e2e). Guard: `tests/unit/validate-release-green.test.ts` ("runs the slow suites CONCURRENTLY"). ([#6319](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6319))
+- **fix(ci):** `scripts/release/sync-next-cycle.mjs` — two defects found live in its first production run (v3.8.45 Phase 5): (1) the `git()` helper's default 1 MiB `maxBuffer` crashed with `ENOBUFS` on `git show origin/main:CHANGELOG.md` (the CHANGELOG alone is >1 MiB) — widened to 64 MiB; (2) the i18n resync only propagated the `[NEXT]` (TBD) section, leaving the just-shipped finalized section as "— TBD" in all 42 mirrors — it now also syncs `[prevVersion]` bounded by the heading below it (new exported pure helper `versionAfter`). Guards: +5 tests in `tests/unit/sync-next-cycle.test.ts` (8/8). ([#6327](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6327))
+- **test(ci):** concurrency-sensitive flaky tests are **quarantined into a serial pass** (`tests/unit/serial/`, `--test-concurrency=1`, appended to every unit runner incl. sharded variants — the serial pass is sharded too so concurrent shard jobs never self-collide). Initial set: `glm-coding-plan-monthly-3580`, `quota-division-blocks`, `provider-health-autopilot`, `combo-health-autopilot` — the class behind the ~28min CI wedges/re-runs (two live 1h+ wedges cancelled during this PR's own validation). Discovery + TIA gates track the new glob; systemic root cause (async logger writing after teardown) tracked in [#6360](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6360). Guard: `tests/unit/test-serial-quarantine.test.ts` (4). ([#6347](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6347))

+## [3.8.45] — 2026-07-06
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(providers):** add **Yuanbao (web)** as a cookie-session provider ([#6196](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6196)) — `yuanbao-web` (Tencent Yuanbao, `yuanbao.tencent.com`) with cookie-only auth (`hy_user`/`hy_token` + public agent id), SSE→OpenAI translation incl. `reasoning_content`, exposing DeepSeek V3/R1 + Hunyuan / Hunyuan-T1. Regression guard: `tests/unit/providers-yuanbao-web.test.ts`. `together-web` was **deferred** (no verifiable web-session endpoint — needs a captured request) and `huggingchat-web` **dropped** (the existing `huggingchat` already is a web-cookie provider). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** route the built-in **agentrouter** through the dynamic Claude-Code wire image ([#6056](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6056)) — a small static allow-set (`CC_WIRE_IMAGE_BUILTINS` in `open-sse/services/ccWireImageBuiltins.ts`), consulted by `isClaudeCodeCompatible` / `isClaudeCodeCompatibleProvider` / `applyFingerprint`, makes agentrouter adopt the CC wire-image headers + fingerprint **while guarding the CC baseUrl/auth branches** so it keeps its own registry `baseUrl` and `x-api-key` auth. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentrouter-cc-wire-image.test.ts` (asserts the wire image is applied AND agentrouter's baseUrl/auth are preserved). Live WAF-acceptance against agentrouter.org is a VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18).
+- **feat(providers):** **bulk-add API keys for Cloudflare Workers AI** ([#6174](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6174)) — `cloudflare-ai` is removed from the bulk-add exclusion list and the bulk parser gains a 3-field `name|accountId|apiKey` mode; the bulk route now builds a **per-entry** `providerSpecificData` so each key carries its own `accountId` (fixing the previous shared-object reuse), and both the create + key-validation paths receive it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/bulk-api-key-parser-cloudflare.test.ts`. (thanks @muflifadla38)
+- **feat(dashboard):** routing/settings UX clarity ([#6147](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6147)) — (1) weighted combos show the **effective routing share %** next to each weight when weights don't sum to 100 (`WeightTotalBar.tsx`); (2) the status widget's user-facing **"Cloud Sync" label is renamed** to "Remote Settings Sync" (`CloudSyncStatus.tsx`; internal ids/state untouched); (3) built-in providers gain an **opt-in advanced base-URL override** (`isBaseUrlOverrideEligibleProvider`, hidden behind an "Advanced" toggle, reusing the existing `providerSpecificData.baseUrl` persistence — not globally widened). Regression guard: `tests/unit/routing-settings-ux-6147.test.ts`.
+- **feat(combo):** add an option to **disable session stickiness**, per-combo or globally — round-robin / random combos can rotate to a different connection on every request instead of pinning a whole conversation to one connection by its first-message hash. Resolution precedence per-combo `config.disableSessionStickiness` → global `settings.disableSessionStickiness` → default `false` (preserves the #3825 prompt-cache/504 fix); gates **both** stickiness call sites in `open-sse/services/combo.ts`. Exposed as a global toggle (Combo Defaults) and a per-combo Inherit/on/off control. ([#6168](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6168)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-disable-session-stickiness.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+- **feat(docker):** add the `OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO` env flag for root-less / user-namespaced deployments — the MITM cert-trust command path (`resolveSudoSpawn` in `src/mitm/systemCommands.ts`) now strips the leading `sudo` when the flag is truthy, in addition to the existing root / sudo-missing cases, so the Proxy Agent runs without `sudo` (the operator trusts the CA manually, e.g. via `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`). Argv-array `spawn` preserved — no shell interpolation (Hard Rule #13). ([#6122](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6122)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-systemCommands-no-sudo.test.ts`. (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Requesty** as an OpenAI-compatible gateway provider (BYOK, base `https://router.requesty.ai/v1`, ~200 free requests/day) — wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/requesty/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/gateways.ts`). ([#6120](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6120)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/requesty-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add **configured-only / available-only filters** to the Free Provider Rankings page ([#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150)) — hide providers you haven't configured, or whose connections are all rate-limited / out of quota, via server-side query params (`?configuredOnly` / `?availableOnly` on `GET /api/free-provider-rankings`) backed by a testable lib helper reusing the in-process connection state (no Redis). Both filters default off, so the default view is unchanged; this supersedes the earlier client-side "Configured Only" toggle (#6245) with an available-only dimension and unit-tested logic. Regression guard: `tests/unit/freeProviderRankings-filters.test.ts`.
+- **feat(rankings):** add a **'Configured Only'** filter to the Free Provider Rankings page, so the table can be narrowed to just the providers you have configured connections for (with an empty-state hint when none are configured). New `en.json` keys and a pure filter helper covered by `tests/unit/free-provider-rankings-configured-filter.test.ts`. ([#6245](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6245), closes [#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150) — thanks @Iammilansoni)
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the test suite and CI can never mutate the OS trust store again — `OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1` (set by the global test setup and all CI workflows) makes `installCert`/`uninstallCert`/`installTproxyCa` skip the privileged OS dispatch while preserving the #4546 environment-skip contract. Root cause of the self-hosted runner incident: a cert-flow integration test installed a 105-byte fake PEM into `/usr/local/share/ca-certificates`, breaking ALL system TLS on the VM. Regression guard: `tests/unit/system-trust-test-guard.test.ts`. ([#6310](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6310))
+- **fix(security):** `/api/keys/{id}/devices` answers a clean method-first **405** for undocumented HTTP methods (e.g. the new `QUERY`) via a dedicated `http-method-guard` rule — the auth layer was answering 401 first, failing schemathesis's unsupported-methods check. Same pattern as the v3.8.44 TRACE fix. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dast-method-not-allowed.test.ts`.
+- **fix(combo):** the #6216 empty-stream failover is restricted to **truly empty bodies** (zero bytes — the Gemini HTTP-200-empty case), restoring the #3399/#3685 pass-through contracts for `[DONE]`-terminated empty streams and incomplete Claude lifecycles. New guard: `#5976 truly EMPTY streaming body → invalid for combo failover` (87/87 across both suites).
+- **fix(combo):** 5 streaming-path fixes — locked-stream 500, error-frame-only-if-no-content, Gemini `MALFORMED_RESPONSE`→content_filter failover, correlationId substring search, per-model-500 lockout skip + request-logger UI detail. Maintainer follow-up: `releaseQualityClone` cancels the abandoned quality-check tee branch (per-request memory) + regression test. ([#6216](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6216) — thanks @hartmark)
+- **fix(skills):** generate the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry (the #6186 catalog addition never ran the generator — 8 integration assertions split between old/new counts) and align the agent-skills catalog counts across integration + unit suites (43 = 23 API + 20 CLI; 44 with config).
+- **fix(a2a):** finish the #6186 catalog-count update — `listCapabilities` metadata reported `coverage.api.total: 22` (type literal + value) and `SkillCoverageSchema` pinned `z.literal(22)`, so the schema would REJECT the correct runtime value with 23 API skills. All three aligned to 23.
+- **fix(github-skills):** add a missing import, unit tests and a settings JSON-parse fix for the GitHub agent-skill discovery/import flow. ([#6186](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6186) — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/github-skills` validates its body with a Zod schema (`validateBody`) instead of blind `request.json()` destructuring — a non-array `targets` would crash `.map`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/github-skills-route-validation.test.ts`.
+- **fix(docker):** add `id=` to the BuildKit cache mounts so strict builders (e.g. buildkitd with strict frontend parsing) accept the Dockerfile. ([#6291](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6291) — thanks @karimalsalah)
+- **fix(oauth):** register `zed` in the OAuth `PROVIDERS` map (fixes "Unknown provider" on the Zed sign-in flow) ([#6078](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6078) — thanks @anki1kr), and align `zed` in `OAUTH_PROVIDER_IDS` + the config enum after the merge.
+- **fix(doubao-web):** switch the Doubao web provider to the Dola global endpoint. ([#6235](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6235) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(doctor):** resolve two false-positive WARNs in the doctor diagnostics ([#6163](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6163), closes [#6162](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6162) — thanks @arssnndr)
+- **fix(providers):** refresh the GitHub Copilot model catalog to the current upstream set. ([#6154](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6154) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(providers):** correct the Kiro model catalog to real upstream ids — fabricated `claude-opus-4.7`/`claude-sonnet-4.6` entries removed, real `claude-sonnet-5`/`claude-sonnet-4.5`/`claude-haiku-4.5` kept. ([#6170](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6170))
+- **feat(sse):** surface Kiro adaptive-thinking reasoning frames as `reasoning_content` in the OpenAI-shaped stream. ([#6213](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6213) — thanks @VXNCXNX)
+- **fix(cli):** use `OMNIROUTE_SERVER_HOST` instead of the POSIX auto-set `HOSTNAME` for the bind address (fixes wrong bind on POSIX shells that export HOSTNAME). ([#6195](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6195), closes [#6194](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6194) — thanks @Theadd)
+- **feat(provider):** add Claude 5 Sonnet to the Claude Web provider catalog. ([#6209](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6209), closes [#6200](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6200) — thanks @Iammilansoni)
+- **fix(providers):** add `nvidia` to `PROVIDER_TOOL_LIMITS` (1536) to prevent silent tool-list truncation. ([#6177](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6177) — thanks @LuisAlejandroVega)
+- **fix(translator):** strip the `reasoning` param for nvidia `z-ai/glm-5.2` (upstream 400s on it). ([#6181](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6181) — thanks @kanztu)
+- **fix(dashboard):** providers page gains a data-timeout guard and the live-WS standalone wiring (no more indefinite spinner when the data fetch stalls). ([#6211](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6211))
+- **fix(sse):** surface the ChatGPT-web image silent-drop as an accurate error instead of an empty success. ([#6208](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6208))
+- **fix(cline):** force upstream streaming for Cline/ClinePass (streaming-only API) — non-stream client requests are served from the buffered SSE. ([#6165](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6165))
+- **fix(dashboard):** remove the always-on Auto-Routing (combo) banner from the home page — it did not reflect live routing state and reappeared on every fresh browser. Replacement guard: `tests/unit/home-no-autorouting-banner.test.ts`. ([#6164](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6164))
+- **fix(dashboard):** stop a model-test error from freezing the page (React #31 object-as-child toast) — errors go through `extractApiErrorMessage`. ([#6161](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6161))
+- **fix(oauth):** extract the keychain-import-only guard to its own module, restoring the oauth file-size freeze. ([#6158](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6158))
+
+- **fix(sse):** strip zero-width markers from streamed **tool-call arguments** — a follow-up to [#5857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5857). That PR removed injected zero-width joiners (U+200D) from streamed assistant text/reasoning but deliberately left tool-call argument JSON byte-exact. The request-side obfuscation (`open-sse/services/claudeCodeObfuscation.ts`) injects ZWJ into agent words — including the temp path inside the Bash tool description — and Claude models copy that verbatim into generated commands, which are delivered as tool-call arguments rather than assistant text. As a result the ZWJ survived and corrupted code blocks (e.g. a temp path rendered with an invisible joiner). Now `open-sse/handlers/responseSanitizer.ts` strips zero-width code points from tool-call argument strings at every emit site (OpenAI non-stream/stream chat `tool_calls` + legacy `function_call`, native Responses `function_call` items, the OpenAI→Responses conversion, and the native Responses streaming `response.function_call_arguments.delta/.done` events). Only zero-width code points are removed; JSON structure and all other bytes stay identical (no parse/restringify), so normal arguments remain byte-exact. Regression guard: 6 new cases in `tests/unit/response-sanitizer.test.ts` (suite 50/50).
+
+- **fix(nodejs):** the default app log path now resolves under `DATA_DIR` (`~/.omniroute/logs/application/app.log`) instead of `process.cwd()` ([#6197](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6197)) — the globally-installed CLI runs from an arbitrary working directory, so anchoring the default to cwd made file logging silently write to (or no-op under) an unrelated directory, contradicting the documented `.env.example` default. `getAppLogFilePath()` now computes the default lazily via the pure `resolveDataDir()` resolver (honours a per-process `DATA_DIR`, no directory-creation side effect); an explicit `APP_LOG_FILE_PATH` still wins. Regression guard: `tests/unit/logenv-datadir-path-6197.test.ts` (3). (root cause independently diagnosed by @subhansh-dev in [#6298](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6298) — thanks!)
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge/`startMitm` no longer aborts in containers/headless when the Antigravity-default DNS step can't write `/etc/hosts` ([#6127](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6127)), and the privileged command's stderr now reaches `app.log` instead of only a bare exit code hitting the toast ([#6198](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6198)). The default DNS step (`addDNSEntry`) was called unguarded while cert install and the two sibling DNS steps were each best-effort — in the runtime Docker image (`USER node`, no `sudo`, read-only `/etc/hosts`) it threw `Command failed with code 1` out of `startMitmInternal` and killed the whole start, discarding the stderr. The three DNS steps are extracted into a best-effort `provisionDnsEntries()` where each failure is logged with the full `err` (stderr included, folded in by `systemCommands.ts`) and never aborts the start. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-dns-graceful-degrade-6127.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** copilot-m365-web now supports the M365 Education "Starter / OfficeWebIncludedCopilot" tier and no longer returns an empty `content:null` stream ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)). Two gaps: (1) `buildWsUrl()` hardcoded the individual-consumer scenario (`OfficeWebPaidConsumerCopilot`, `isEdu=false`) — the EDU tier is now opt-in via `providerSpecificData.tier="edu"`, emitting `scenario=OfficeWebIncludedCopilot`/`isEdu=true` (the individual path is unchanged); (2) the EDU/GPT-5.5 path streams deltas via `arguments[0].writeAtCursor` (incremental) instead of only `messages[].text` (accumulated snapshots), which the parser dropped — a new `accumulateBotContent()` folds both formats, with `type:2 item.result.message` as a last-resort fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-edu-writeatcursor-6210.test.ts` (10). (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo executor now feeds tool results back into the prompt instead of looping ([#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)) — `buildPrompt()` branched only on `system`/`user` and took `userParts.at(-1)`, silently dropping the `assistant{tool_calls}` + `tool{result}` turns the client appended, so the reconstructed prompt was byte-identical to turn 1 and the model re-emitted the same `<tool>` call forever. When a tool exchange is present the full conversation is now serialized, folding each tool result back keyed by its `tool_call_id`; simple conversations keep the legacy shape. Complements the tool_call emission from [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051) (the `kilo-duplicate` label was a false positive — different, sequential defect). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-result-feedback-6220.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** opencode-go/opencode-zen can now synthesize the OpenCode CLI identity headers Cloudflare requires on VPS egress ([#5997](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5997)) — on a datacenter VPS, `opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/chat/completions` 403s (HTML challenge) requests lacking CLI identity, while the reporter's control curl proved that `User-Agent: opencode-cli/1.0.0` + `x-opencode-client: cli` + `x-opencode-project: default` + fresh request/session UUIDs succeed. Opt-in via `OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS=true` (values overridable via `OPENCODE_GO_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_CLIENT`/`OPENCODE_PROJECT`); it fills only headers the client did not already send. Kept **off by default** — the forward-only path is deliberate (fabricating a wrong value risks upstream rejection; a prior dedup regressed with `opencode/local`), so this replaces the fragile local header-injection shim without changing default behavior. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-cli-headers-synthesis-5997.test.ts` (6). (thanks @aleksesipenko)
+- fix(resilience): sticky session affinity now evicts and fails over to another account when the pinned account is exhausted/unavailable (#6219)
+
+- fix(sse): Responses API passthrough now drops internal commentary-phase output before forwarding to clients (gated by RESPONSES_PASSTHROUGH_DROP_COMMENTARY, default on) (#6199)
+
+- **fix(proxy):** stop the v3.8.44 proxy regression that leaked the real IP and disabled healthy proxies ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Two coupled defects from the new health scheduler: (1) **IP leak** — when a proxy assigned to a connection was marked `inactive`, resolution fell through to a **direct** egress instead of blocking, exposing the operator's real IP; (2) **over-deactivation** — the sweep flipped a proxy to `inactive` on the **first** failed probe and counted our own 5s timeout / a probe-target `5xx` as the proxy's fault, so healthy paid proxies vanished from egress selection ("my proxies are not being used anymore"). Fix: the sweep decision is extracted into a pure, network-free `decideProxyHealthAction` (`src/lib/proxyHealth/decision.ts`) — by default the health check now **only counts/logs and never downgrades status** (a proxy is downgraded/removed only with `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE=true`, after `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE_AFTER` **consecutive** conclusive failures); probes are classified tri-state so an inconclusive result (our timeout, or a `5xx` from the probe target) never penalizes the proxy, and the probe timeout is raised 5s→15s. Separately, `safeResolveProxy` now **fails closed** via the existing policy: a connection whose assigned proxy is dead is blocked instead of leaking direct (`hasBlockingProxyAssignment`), honoring the explicit `proxy off` toggles and the `PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true` opt-out. Existing proxies stuck `inactive` by the old behavior need a one-time manual re-activate (the operator owns proxy status). Regression guards: `tests/unit/proxy-health-decide-action-6246.test.ts`, `tests/unit/proxy-assigned-unavailable-6246.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(proxy):** make "Test All" read-only and add bulk enable/disable ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Complements the core fail-closed / scheduler fix (#6296) with the two remaining reporter asks. (1) The **"Test All" button** (`POST /api/settings/proxies/auto-test`) used to flip a proxy to `inactive` on a failed reachability probe; since the egress selector excludes `inactive` proxies, a flaky probe (an unreachable `httpbin.org`, a proxy that blocks `HEAD`, or a slow paid proxy) silently disabled every proxy that failed — "Test All" is now **read-only by default** (only the operator sets a proxy active/inactive; opt back into the legacy test-and-set with `PROXY_HEALTH_AUTO_DEACTIVATE=true`). (2) Adds a **bulk enable/disable** proxies endpoint + toolbar action (`POST /api/settings/proxies/batch-activate`) so an operator can re-activate proxies in one click. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-health-6246.test.ts`. (thanks @tenshiak)
+
+- **chatcore (tools): stop the default 128-tool cap from silently dropping opencode's `task`/MCP tools.** opencode (used as an MCP/agent host) sends a large tool list; when it exceeds the speculative `MAX_TOOLS_LIMIT` (128) default, `truncateToolList` did a blind `tools.slice(0, 128)`, dropping every tool past index 128 — including opencode's built-in `task` tool (subagent launch) and many MCP tools, so models routed through OmniRoute could no longer spawn subagents or reach part of their tools. The cap exists to avoid upstream `400`s for providers with real hard limits (e.g. grok-cli 200), so it is kept for those: detection of the opencode client (`isOpencodeClient` — any `x-opencode-*` header, or `opencode` in the user-agent) now only bypasses the **speculative 128 default**, never a known provider ceiling. Precedence is explicit — a proactive/detected provider limit always truncates (even for opencode); otherwise opencode forwards its full tool list; otherwise the unchanged 128 default applies to every other client. Refactors `getEffectiveToolLimit` into `getKnownToolLimit(provider) ?? DEFAULT_LIMIT` (byte-identical for existing callers) and fixes a cosmetic debug-log that reported the truncated count instead of the original. Regression guard: `tests/unit/tool-limit-detector.test.ts`. ([#6193](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6193) — thanks @DKotsyuba)
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the macOS MITM-cert install check now matches the system keychain again. `security find-certificate -a -Z` prints the SHA-1 as a colon-less hex string, but the installed-check compared it against `getCertFingerprint()`'s colon-separated form, so the substring match never hit — the cert was reported as not-installed and re-prompted for the sudo install on every run. Fingerprints are now normalized (colons stripped, upper-cased) on both sides via the extracted `macCertOutputHasFingerprint` helper. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-cert-mac-fingerprint.test.ts`. ([#6204](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6204), closes [#6134](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6134) — thanks @rianonehub)
+
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/messages/count_tokens` now counts `tool_use`, `tool_result` and `thinking` content blocks (and array-form `system` prompts) in the local-estimation path, instead of only `text`. Real agentic conversations keep ~95% of their tokens inside tool results; the previous estimate returned near-zero for them, which silently broke Claude Code's auto-compaction (context grew past the window with no compaction until the upstream API rejected the request). The real provider-side count path is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/messages-count-tokens-route.test.ts`. ([#6221](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6221) — thanks @luweiCN)
+
+- **fix(antigravity):** strip a trailing assistant prefill turn for Vertex Claude models to avoid upstream 400s ([#6114](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6114)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-claude-prefill-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(security):** the mutable cloud-agent routes (`/api/cloud/credentials/update`, `/api/cloud/models/alias`) now require management auth instead of being treated as public. They were classified as public API routes, so a request without management credentials could update stored cloud-agent credentials and model aliases. They are removed from the public-route set, classified as management routes in the authz pipeline, and gated by `requireManagementAuth`; cloud **read**/auth routes stay public. Regression guards: `tests/unit/cloud-write-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts`, `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6233](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6233) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+
+- **refactor(dashboard):** extract the onboarding-wizard "Open provider details" link target into a pure, unit-tested `buildProviderDetailsHref(connection)` helper. The wizard already routes by `connection.id` (the node UUID) rather than the provider category slug (#6144/#6145); this hardens that behavior behind a tested helper that guards a missing id/connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-onboarding-href.test.ts`. ([#6166](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6166) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(api):** relay worker now binds the SSRF guard to a stable `const` name so minified standalone (Docker) builds resolve it ([#6149](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6149)) — the Vercel/Deno relay generators embedded the shared `resolveRelayTarget` guard as a bare `${fn.toString()}` declaration while the worker body called the hardcoded literal name; SWC minification mangled the source function's name, so the deployed worker defined `<mangled>` but still called `resolveRelayTarget` → `ReferenceError`. Both templates now emit `const resolveRelayTarget = ${fn.toString()};` (the const name is a template literal, immune to minification). Regression guard: `tests/unit/relay-minified-fn-6149.test.ts` (4). (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **fix(providers):** refresh the stale NVIDIA NIM model registry — drop EOL `z-ai/glm-5.1`, add `z-ai/glm-5.2` and `nvidia/nemotron-3-ultra-550b-a55b` ([#6108](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6108)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-nim-registry-6108.test.ts`. (thanks @andrea-kingautomation)
+- **fix(backend):** GPT-family (codex) models now report a distinct `max_input_tokens` (272000) below their 400K `context_length` via an optional `maxInputTokens` on `RegistryModel`, so coding agents auto-compact correctly instead of overflowing the real input cap ([#6191](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6191)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gpt-max-input-tokens-6191.test.ts`. (thanks @luweiCN)
+- **fix(backend):** call logs now record a **reasoning source/char-count** (migration 116, `reasoning_source`/`reasoning_chars`) for models that emit `reasoning_content`/`<think>` but report zero reasoning tokens in usage, so `tokens_reasoning` no longer silently under-represents reasoning — cost math is unchanged (the priced `tokens_reasoning` stays usage-derived) ([#6187](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6187)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/reasoning-token-source-6187.test.ts`. (thanks @andrea-kingautomation)
+- **fix(auth):** a stale/changed `STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY` now surfaces as a clear **424 `storage_encryption_stale`** ("re-enter the API key") instead of a misleading "Auth failed: 401" — the connection's ciphertext failed to decrypt and was coerced to an empty Bearer, hiding the real cause ([#6148](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6148)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/decrypt-stale-key-hint-6148.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(backend):** memory injection now keeps the injected system message **first** for providers that require it (via a `PROVIDERS_SYSTEM_MUST_BE_FIRST` capability), instead of the cache-safe mid-array splice that made strict providers reject the request with a 400 ([#6135](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6135)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/memory-system-first-6135.test.ts`.
+- **fix(services):** 9Router embed panel no longer 404s (optional catch-all route) and the supervisor probes the port before spawning to avoid raw EADDRINUSE ([#6205](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6205)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/ninerouter-embed-port-6205.test.ts`, `tests/unit/services/ServiceSupervisor.test.ts`. (thanks @jonlwheat2-gif)
+- fix(mcp): forward the MCP request `extra` context through static tool loops so stdio callers keep their scope/identity ([#6178](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6178))
+
+### ⚡ Performance & Infrastructure
+
+- **perf(test):** test-suite loader quick wins ([#6214](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6214)) — the 19 test scripts switch `--import tsx` → `--import tsx/esm` (the repo is pure ESM; the unused CJS hook cost ~1.3s per test process × 2,462 processes — CI fast-path unit shards dropped 14.8→7.5 min, −49%), tsx bumped to ^4.23.0 (tsx#809 startup-regression fix), **37 orphan `.test.mjs` files (224 cases) recovered** into the canonical glob (they matched no runner and never ran in any CI job; `check:test-discovery` now scans `.mjs` too), and ci.yml/quality.yml unit jobs now call the canonical npm script `test:unit:ci:shard` (single source of truth — closes two silent drifts: missing `setupPolyfill` import in CI and `memory/`+`usage/` dirs absent from the fast-path glob). `tests/unit/dashboard/**` keeps the full tsx hook in its own invocation (`@lobehub/icons` es/ build internally `require()`s ESM-syntax files).
+- **ci:** heavy-pipeline dedup ([#6215](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6215)) — the release-PR pipeline ran the unit suite 4× per sync (95 jobs, 208 machine-min; the v3.8.44 cycle fired 123 such runs, 88 cancelled). Now: Node 24/26 compat matrices move to a daily `nightly-compat.yml` (−28%/run; resolves the active release branch, opens a tracking issue on failure), coverage is collected inside the unit shards themselves via c8/`NODE_V8_COVERAGE` (−18%/run; the Coverage Shard ×8 matrix is gone — nodejs/node's own CI pattern), the ~40-job per-language i18n matrix becomes 1 job (the account has 20 concurrent-job slots total), and heavy jobs skip **draft** PRs — paired with `/generate-release` now opening the living release PR as draft (flipped ready at the new Phase 0a.0a), killing the per-merge churn for the whole cycle. Validated by a full `workflow_dispatch` of the new pipeline: 35 jobs, 0 failures, 23 min, merged coverage 80.16% (> ratchet baseline).
+- **feat(quality):** no-new-warnings per PR ([#6218](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6218)) — native ESLint bulk suppressions (≥9.24) freeze the pre-existing debt (476 files / 4,273 violations in `config/quality/eslint-suppressions.json`); `npm run lint`, lint-staged (pre-commit) and a new fork-aware `lint-guard` job in quality.yml all run suppressions-aware, so a NEW warning goes red in the PR that introduces it instead of accruing invisibly (+41/+88 per cycle) and being blind-rebaselined at release. 3 warn rules promoted to error in `src/**` (`react-hooks/exhaustive-deps`, `@next/next/no-img-element`, `import/no-anonymous-default-export`); `collect-metrics` measures under the frozen baseline (ratchet metric = net-NEW debt; baseline tightened 4,279→0 in-PR per require-tighten); fork PRs run report-only (contributors are never blocked — the maintainer campaigns fix via co-authorship). Baseline stock shrinks via `--prune-suppressions` at release reconciliation.
+- **ci:** test jobs no longer wait on the Build gate ([#6275](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6275)) — `test-unit`×8, `vitest`, `integration`×2 and `security` declared `needs: build` but never download the `next-build` artifact; they now start at minute 0 (`needs: changes`, same `if` as Build), cutting ~15–20 min of wall-clock per heavy run. `e2e`/`package-artifact`/`electron-smoke` keep `needs: build` (they consume the artifact for real).
+- **ci(build):** the ci.yml Build job compiles Next.js with **Turbopack** (`OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=1`) ([#6273](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6273)) — Build job 20 min → **6 min 59 s (~2.9×)** on ubuntu-latest; the webpack `actions/cache` step is removed. Validated end-to-end pre-merge via `gh workflow run ci.yml --ref <branch>`.
+- **feat(build):** **Turbopack becomes the default bundler** for `next build` and `next dev` ([#6283](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6283)) — `build-next-isolated.mjs`, `run-next.mjs` and the playwright-runner default to Turbopack; `OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=0` is the explicit webpack escape hatch. `nightly-compat.yml`/`npm-publish.yml` inherit the default. Regression guard: `tests/unit/build-bundler-default-turbopack.test.ts`.
+- **feat(docker):** the Docker image builds with Turbopack (`ENV OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=1`) ([#6285](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6285)) — the v3.8.27 ImportTracer panic ("unreachable: there must be a path to a root") does **not** reproduce on Next 16.2.9: amd64 (659 s) and arm64 (qemu) build clean, 0 panics, smoke health 200.
+- **ci:** opt-in **self-hosted VPS runners for the release window** ([#6284](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6284)) — `scripts/vps/release-runner-up.sh`/`down.sh` manage the runner VM, and `build`/`test-unit`/`vitest` pick a dynamic `runs-on` gated by `vars.USE_VPS_RUNNER == 'true'` **and** own-origin (fork PRs never reach self-hosted runners). Wired into `/generate-release` (VM up at Phase 1, mandatory down at Phase 3).
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **quality(release-green):** full pre-flight hardening for this release — the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors typed/fixed and `validate-release-green` made suppressions-aware with per-gate logs (`_artifacts/release-green/`) and a `--hermetic` mode; test-masking allowlist entries for the cycle's verified-legitimate assert reductions; stale ESLint suppressions pruned (4,273 → 4,233); the 7 net-new `as any` casts from #6292 typed; `githubSkillTools` MCP errors routed through `sanitizeErrorMessage()`; `combo-provider-cooldown-sibling` added to the Stryker tap set; executors/env docs count fixes.
+- **ci(quality):** merge-integrity fast-gates per PR — `check:changelog-integrity` (no base CHANGELOG bullet may vanish in the merge result — the auto-resolve "CHANGELOG-eat" pattern) and `check:agent-skills-sync` (generated SKILL.md ≡ catalog), blocking for own-origin branches and report-only for forks (Princípio Zero). ([#6300](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6300))
+- **ci(vps):** hermetic `nightly-release-green` pre-flight on the dedicated `omni-release` self-hosted runner (dynamic `runs-on`, clean env); e2e/integration/electron stay on hosted runners (per-VM port collision + concurrent artifact-download limits documented in the PR). ([#6305](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6305))
+- **chore(quality):** v3.8.45 cycle-close drift rebaselines — file-size (13 files grown by merged cycle PRs), cognitive 867→877, cyclomatic 2028→2035, kiro-translator test debt from #6213; all with dated justification keys.
+- **docs(architecture):** sync stale DB-layer counts (45+/55 → 95+/110+) in REPOSITORY_MAP, the db-schema diagram and llm.txt (+42 i18n mirrors). ([#6167](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6167))
+- **chore(release):** parallel-cycle flow — `sync-next-cycle.mjs` + Hard Rule #21 semantics ([#6203](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6203)); v3.8.45 development cycle opened.
+- **i18n(it):** add 118 missing Italian (`it`) translations (net-additive — no existing keys dropped, valid JSON), improving Italian UI coverage. ([#6212](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6212) — thanks @serverless83)
+- **chore(providers):** remove deprecated **MiMo V2** model entries from the catalogs (xiaomi-mimo, opencode-go, zenmux-free, audio TTS) — the upstream V2 line is superseded by MiMo V2.5; drops `mimo-v2-tts`, `mimo-v2-pro`, `mimo-v2-omni`, `mimo-v2-flash`, `mimo-v2-flash-free` and realigns the provider-catalog tests. ([#6248](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6248) — thanks @backryun)

+## [3.8.44] — TBD
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(resilience):** throttle upstream quota fetches on the per-request preflight path ([#6009](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6009)) — a new global min-interval gate (`open-sse/services/quotaFetchThrottle.ts`) spaces the actual network calls made by the Codex quota fetcher so that many accounts on one IP no longer fetch quota in the same second (which, per `router-for-me/CLIProxyAPI#2385`, can get a Codex OAuth token revoked). Complements the existing bulk-sync spacing (`PROVIDER_LIMITS_SYNC_SPACING_MS`) which already serialized the periodic provider-limits sync — this covers the concurrent combo/preflight path it didn't. Cache hits are never delayed; fail-open (only ever awaits a timer). Configurable via `OMNIROUTE_QUOTA_FETCH_MIN_INTERVAL_MS` (default 250ms, clamped 0..5000; `0` disables). Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-fetch-throttle-6009.test.ts` (5). (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(autoCombo):** add **per-request Auto-Combo controls** via two headers ([#6024](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6024) / [#6025](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6025) / [#6023](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6023)) — `X-OmniRoute-Mode` steers an `auto` combo's scoring for a single request (friendly presets `fast`/`balanced`/`quality`/`cheap`/`reliable`/`offline` **or** a raw mode-pack name; `balanced` forces the default weights), and `X-OmniRoute-Budget` sets a hard per-request USD cost ceiling. Both override the combo's stored config only for the request that carries them; unknown/garbage values are ignored so the saved config is preserved. The resolvers are pure (`open-sse/services/autoCombo/requestControls.ts`) and feed the engine's existing `config.modePack` / `config.budgetCap` inputs — no engine changes. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auto-combo-request-controls-6024.test.ts` (5). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add the **Kenari** OpenAI-compatible gateway (BYOK). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kenari.test.ts`. (thanks @doedja)
+- **feat(models):** add `claude-sonnet-5` to the Antigravity model catalog (alias mapping in `antigravityModelAliases.ts`) ([#6103](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6103)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-model-aliases.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+- **feat(api):** add `/v1/ocr` endpoint (Mistral OCR), an OCR provider category, and Mistral moderation support. ([#5950](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5950)) (thanks @waguriagentic)
+- **Discovery tool (Phase 2):** add the `discoveryResults` DB module (CRUD over the `discovery_results` table, migration 074) and wire the opt-in provider-discovery service to persist and read findings through it (`persistDiscoveryResult`, `getDiscoveryResults`, `getDiscoveryResultById`, `markVerified`, `deleteDiscoveryResult`) with `(provider, method, endpoint)` upsert de-duplication. Adds the `/api/discovery/*` HTTP surface — `GET /results`, `GET|DELETE /results/:id`, `POST /scan`, `POST /verify/:id` — under **strict loopback-only** authorization (`/api/discovery/` is in `LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` and is NOT manage-scope-bypassable, so the `scan` route's outbound probes can never be reached from a tunnel/remote origin). Adds a **dashboard UI tab** (Tools → Discovery, `/dashboard/discovery`) to run scans and review, verify, or delete findings. The service stays **opt-in / default-off**. ([#5939](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5939))
+- **feat(api):** expose a read-only provider plugin manifest at `GET /api/v1/provider-plugin-manifest` for sidecar/relay discovery. ([#6001](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6001)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(sidecar):** advertise the provider manifest URL to Bifrost/CLIProxyAPI via the `X-OmniRoute-Provider-Manifest-Url` header (`OMNIROUTE_PROVIDER_MANIFEST_URL`). ([#6007](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6007)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(autoCombo):** add a latency/speed-optimized routing mode (shared `rankBySpeed` scoring core) plus the `omniroute_pick_fastest_model` MCP tool. ([#6011](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6011)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(providers):** refresh The Old LLM (Free) model catalog ([#5181](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5181)) — seed the current free `/api/chatgpt` tier (GPT-5/5.1/5.2/5.3/5.4, o3/o4-mini, Gemini 3 Pro / 2.5 Pro / 2.0 Flash / 1.5 Flash, Claude 4.6 Opus/Sonnet & 4.5 Haiku, GPT-4o, Grok 4, DeepSeek V3/R1, Sonar Pro) while keeping the legacy alias IDs for saved-preference compatibility. Also fixes a latent routing bug: `mapModel()` now passes known upstream IDs through unchanged, so Gemini/o-series/Grok/DeepSeek/Sonar models no longer silently collapse onto `GPT_5_4`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/theoldllm-model-refresh-5181.test.ts`. (thanks @WslzGmzs)
+- **feat(resilience):** surface Codex **banked reset credits** per connected account ([#5199](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5199)) — the Codex quota parsers (`buildCodexUsageQuotas`, `parseCodexUsageResponse`) now additively read `rate_limit_reset_credits.available_count` (+ optional `rate_limit_reached_type`) from the `/wham/usage` payload OmniRoute already fetches, and the provider-limits dashboard renders a **"Banked Reset Credits"** row when a positive count is present. Display-only and **fail-open** — the field is eligibility-gated, so accounts without it are unaffected (parsers never throw on absent/garbage shapes); redemption (an unofficial mutating endpoint) is intentionally out of scope. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-banked-reset-credits-5199.test.ts` (8). (thanks @ofekbetzalel)
+- **feat(providers):** add sign-up geo-restriction notices for **SenseNova** and **StepFun** ([#5462](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5462)) — the provider add-form now warns that SenseNova's console appears to require a Chinese (+86) phone number with no documented international path, and that StepFun's default endpoint is its China platform while a global StepFun Open Platform (`platform.stepfun.ai`, operated by Sparkling AI Pte. Ltd., Singapore) with email/Google/Discord login exists for international users. Informational `notice` only — neither provider is disabled. Regression guard: `tests/unit/regional-provider-cn-notices-5462.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(usage):** add on-demand period-scoped usage-data reset (Settings → System Storage) with a purge API and time-window selector. ([#5831](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5831))
+- **feat(claude-code):** add an opt-in auto-permission classifier compat mode (off/auto/always) for Claude Code, toggleable from the CLI Code settings. ([#5810](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5810))
+- **feat(providers):** add optional client-identity header profiles for compatible nodes — preset User-Agent/fingerprint headers (e.g. matching a known CLI) merged into the existing customHeaders field. ([#5812](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5812))
+- **feat(build):** add a backend-only fast build mode (`scripts/build/build-next-isolated.mjs` + `backendOnlyPages.mjs`) that skips compiling the dashboard frontend pages, cutting local/CI build time for backend-only changes. ([#6119](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6119) — thanks @artickc)
+- **feat(minimax):** extract MiniMax M3's raw `<think>...</think>` leakage into `reasoning_content` on the 8 OpenAI-format provider tiers, leaving the Claude-format `minimax`/`minimax-cn` tiers untouched (they already report reasoning correctly). ([#6073](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6073) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(services):** promote **Bifrost** (`@maximhq/bifrost` — Go AI-gateway) from an env-only relay sidecar to a first-class embedded/supervised service, matching the existing cliproxy/9router model — installer, bootstrap `SERVICES[]` entry, migration 113 DB seed, 7 lifecycle API routes under `/api/services/bifrost/` (loopback-only), a dashboard tab, and relay auto-wiring that defaults `BIFROST_BASE_URL` to the supervised port when running. Implements item #2 of #5670; the broader RouterBackend contract (items #1, #3-#5) stays out of scope. ([#5817](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5817), part of [#5670](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5670))
+- **feat(services):** add **Mux** (`coder/mux` — local agent-orchestration daemon) as a fourth-tier embedded service on the existing `ServiceSupervisor` framework — npm-based installer, `bootstrap.ts` registration, migration 113 DB seed, 7 lifecycle API routes under `/api/services/mux/` (loopback-only, defense-in-depth bind to 127.0.0.1), and a dashboard tab reusing the shared service-management components. ([#6034](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6034))
+- **feat(xai):** surface Grok/xAI usage on the quota dashboard via local `usageHistory` aggregation (`getXaiUsage`) — since xAI exposes no per-account quota API, this sums tokens routed to the connection from `usage_history` and reports them as a cumulative, uncapped quota, mirroring the existing Xiaomi MiMo self-track pattern. ([#5806](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5806))
+- **feat(minimax):** extract MiniMax M3's raw `<think>...</think>` tags into a separate `reasoning_content` field on the 8 provider tiers that register M3 with `format:"openai"` (trae, huggingchat, bazaarlink, ollama-cloud, opencode, cline, opencode-zen, codebuddy-cn) — previously the thinking text leaked directly into `content`. Reuses the existing `extractThinkingFromContent` primitive, extending its allowlist with a minimax-m3-only pattern; the two direct minimax/minimax-cn tiers are untouched since they already surface reasoning natively over Anthropic's Messages format. (Inspired by 9router#2231.) ([#6050](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6050) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(i18n):** auto-detect the browser language on first visit — a pure `detectBrowserLocale()` matcher (exact match, `zh-HK`/`zh-MO` folded to `zh-TW`, language-prefix match, else `null`) plus a client-only `LocaleAutoDetect` component mounted once in the root layout. When no locale cookie is set yet, it reads `navigator.languages`, computes a match against the supported locales, and persists it via the same cookie/localStorage writer `LanguageSelector` already used (extracted to `shared/lib/persistLocale.ts`). (Inspired by 9router#1324.) ([#5979](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5979))
+- **feat(cli-tools):** add **CodeWhale** — the actively-maintained successor to DeepSeek TUI (same author, renamed project) — as a dual dashboard entry alongside the existing "deepseek-tui" catalog entry, so existing DeepSeek TUI users keep a working card while new users are steered to CodeWhale. New `/api/cli-tools/codewhale-settings` route writes `~/.codewhale/config.toml` and keeps the legacy `~/.deepseek/config.toml` in sync. (Inspired by 9router#1761.) ([#5996](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5996))
+- **feat(server):** support reverse-proxy `basePath` deployment via a new opt-in `OMNIROUTE_BASE_PATH` env var (empty by default), using Next.js's native `basePath` support so a deployment behind a reverse-proxy subpath (e.g. `https://host/omniroute/`) works without manual header stripping; the two hardcoded auth-redirect targets in `src/server/authz/pipeline.ts` now prefix with `request.nextUrl.basePath`. Default empty basePath is a no-op for existing root-path deployments. (Inspired by 9router#1810.) ([#5992](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5992))
+- **feat(providers):** add **SumoPod** (`ai.sumopod.com`) and **X5Lab** (`api.x5lab.dev`) OpenAI-compatible BYOK aggregator gateways, wired via the default executor with bearer API-key auth; both use `passthroughModels` with a live `/v1/models` fetcher instead of a hardcoded catalog. Regression guard: `tests/unit/sumopod-x5lab-provider.test.ts`. (Inspired by 9router#1288.) ([#5963](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5963))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Charm Hyper** (`hyper.charm.land`) as a new OpenAI-compatible, bearer-auth API-key gateway provider with a free tier (100 monthly Hypercredits); models resolve via passthrough (`modelsUrl` + live `/v1/models`) since the catalog isn't publicly documented. (Inspired by 9router#2006.) ([#5961](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5961))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Nube.sh** (`ai.nube.sh`) as a new BYOK OpenAI-compatible gateway (LiteLLM proxy), Bearer/API-key auth. Its live model catalog is only reachable with a valid key, so no model IDs are hardcoded — it uses `passthroughModels` + `modelsUrl` for live enumeration. (Inspired by 9router#2294.) ([#5936](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5936) — thanks @whale9820)
+- **feat(providers):** add **b.ai** (`api.b.ai`) as a new OpenAI-compatible BYOK provider, distinct from the existing thebai/theb.ai provider, using passthrough model discovery with no hardcoded model list. (Inspired by 9router#963.) ([#5969](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5969))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Qiniu** (七牛云) AI inference gateway as a BYOK API-key provider — proxies many upstream models (DeepSeek V3/V4, Claude, Kimi, and more) behind a single key, shipping with an empty static seed and relying on `passthroughModels` + the live `/v1/models` catalog instead of a stale hardcoded model id. Regression guard: `tests/unit/qiniu-provider.test.ts`. (Inspired by 9router#911.) ([#5966](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5966))
+- **feat(providers):** port **ModelScope** (Alibaba 魔搭) as a new API-key, OpenAI-compatible provider — verified against ModelScope's own docs that the real production domain is `api-inference.modelscope.cn` (`.cn`, not the upstream PR's `.ai`) and shipped `passthroughModels: true` with an empty seed + `modelsUrl` instead of the upstream PR's static 5-model snapshot, since the open-model catalog moves fast. (Ported from 9router#1764.) ([#5965](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5965) — thanks @tn5052)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Augment (Auggie CLI)** as a new local, no-auth provider that spawns the user's local `auggie` CLI and pipes a flattened prompt via stdin, wrapping stdout as an OpenAI-compatible SSE stream or single JSON body. Auth is delegated to `auggie login` outside OmniRoute (synthetic `noAuth: true` connection, no DB row required); "Test Connection" spawns `auggie --version`. Hardened against the untrusted-input spawn sink: no `shell: true` on Windows (argv passed straight to the OS loader, no metacharacter interpretation), and `model` is validated against the registry allowlist before spawn (rejecting unknown or `-`-prefixed values) with a trailing `--` end-of-options marker. (Inspired by 9router#1200.) ([#5972](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5972) — thanks @chamdanilukman)
+- **feat(providers):** add **NVIDIA NIM image generation** — a dedicated `nvidia-nim` image format/handler (separate host, `ai.api.nvidia.com/v1/genai/<model>`, native NIM body shape) for the 4 FLUX models (flux.1-dev, flux.1-schnell, flux.1-kontext-dev, flux.2-klein-4b), shaping each model's per-model request body (dimension/mode validation, required input image + aspect ratio, optional edit image) and normalizing the NIM response's varying shapes into the OpenAI `{created, data}` shape. (Inspired by 9router#1195.) ([#5971](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5971))
+- **feat(oauth):** import a Codex connection from a raw ChatGPT access token — OmniRoute's only Codex import path previously required both `access_token` and `refresh_token`, leaving no path for a user with only a bare ChatGPT website access token. `createProviderConnection` gains an explicit `access_token` auth-type branch (intentionally never deduped), a new `POST /api/oauth/codex/import-token` route (Zod-validated), and `OAuthModal`'s manual-paste path now detects an `eyJ`-prefixed pasted token and posts it to the new endpoint, mirroring the existing grok-cli raw-token flow. The executor's `refreshCredentials()` already degrades safely to `null` without a refresh token, forcing re-auth on expiry. (Inspired by 9router#1290.) ([#5995](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5995) — thanks @ryanngit)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add a tool-source diagnostics settings toggle — a new Settings → Advanced card lets operators flip the existing `logToolSources` flag from the UI instead of editing the DB row directly; `logToolSources` is added to the `.strict()` `/api/settings` Zod PATCH schema (previously rejected). (Inspired by 9router#1825.) ([#5978](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5978) — thanks @DuyPrX)
+- **feat(dashboard):** collapse and sort provider quota rows by remaining percentage — the expanded quota list is sorted highest-remaining-first and collapsed to the first 3 rows by default, with a "Show N more"/"Show less" toggle when a connection reports more than 3 quotas, keeping at-risk quotas visible above a long list of healthy ones. Sort/slice logic extracted into pure, directly-unit-tested helpers (`sortQuotasByRemaining`, `getVisibleQuotas`). (Inspired by 9router#1919.) ([#5977](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5977))
+- **feat(dashboard):** suggest HuggingFace Hub media models — a new `GET /api/v1/providers/suggested-models` route proxies the public HF Hub models search API (Zod-validated, no token exposed client-side) and `ImageExampleCard` merges the results into the model picker as a selectable chip row for the huggingface provider; also adds a dedicated `huggingface-image` format/handler for HF's raw-image-bytes response. (Inspired by 9router#1633.) ([#5990](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5990))
+- **feat(cli-tools):** add a **Crush** entry to the dashboard CLI-Tools catalog plus a new `/api/cli-tools/crush-settings` route (GET/POST/DELETE) — OmniRoute already shipped a `crush` CLI setup command (`bin/cli/commands/setup-crush.mjs`) but the dashboard catalog had no matching entry; the new route writes to the same canonical `~/.config/crush/crush.json` path so the dashboard and CLI command agree. (Inspired by 9router#1233.) ([#5970](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5970))
+- **feat(providers):** extend Vercel AI Gateway (`vercel-ai-gateway`/`vag`) beyond chat-only to support **embeddings and image generation** — the gateway's OpenAI-compatible `/v1` API also exposes `/embeddings` and `/images/generations`, so entries were added to `EMBEDDING_PROVIDERS` (`embeddingRegistry.ts`) and `IMAGE_PROVIDERS` (`imageRegistry.ts`) modeled on the existing `openai` entries. ([#5968](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5968) — thanks @tantai-newnol)
+- **feat(api-keys):** add per-key **device/connection tracking** — a SHA-256 fingerprint of IP + User-Agent, with a 30-minute TTL and per-key/global caps, tracks distinct client devices seen with each API key (in-memory only, raw IP never stored). A new `GET /api/keys/[id]/devices` route exposes masked device details, and the API Keys dashboard tab gets a "Devices" count badge alongside the existing Sessions badge. This is a new granularity distinct from the existing `maxSessions` cap, which limits concurrent sticky-routing sessions rather than tracking device identity. ([#5998](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5998) — thanks @mugni-rukita)
+- **feat(proxy):** add **Webshare** (`proxy.webshare.io`) as a fourth source in the free-proxy provider framework alongside 1proxy, Proxifly, and IPLocate. `WebshareProvider` paginates the account's `/api/v2/proxy/list/` endpoint, upserts proxies into the shared `free_proxies` table, and tombstones proxies the account no longer lists while never touching rows already promoted into the live proxy pool. Unlike the other sources, Webshare is a paid per-account list, gated on `FREE_PROXY_WEBSHARE_API_KEY`. ([#5993](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5993) — thanks @ricatix)
+- **feat(antigravity):** support custom **Google Cloud project ID** settings from the connection edit modal (Antigravity family). ([#5905](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5905) — thanks @nickwizard)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add a **wildcard-CORS runtime warning** banner (Settings → Authorization) when `CORS_ALLOW_ALL`/`*` origins are in effect, plus a new `docs/security/CORS.md` security guide covering the risk and safer alternatives. ([#5602](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5602), [#5759](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5759))
+- **feat(api):** add a `/v1/audio/translations` endpoint (Whisper-style audio translation), a new `audioTranslation` handler, and translation providers wired into `audioRegistry`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/audio-translations-route.test.ts` (8, incl. no-stack-leak). ([#5809](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5809))
+- **feat(providers):** allow a **custom icon URL** for compatible provider nodes (migration 113 + `nodes.ts` + Zod schema + API routes + catalog + `ProviderIcon` UI). Regression guards: 14 backend + 5 frontend(vitest) + 24 page-utils tests. ([#5815](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5815))
+- **feat(xai):** register a dedicated `XaiExecutor` with reasoning-effort suffix parsing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executors/xai-executor.test.ts` (6). ([#5800](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5800))
+- **feat(webfetch):** support **self-hosted FireCrawl** instances via `FIRECRAWL_BASE_URL`/`FIRECRAWL_TIMEOUT_MS`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executors/firecrawl-fetch.test.ts` (4). ([#5793](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5793))
+- **feat(providers):** add **ClinePass** as a first-class API-key (BYOK) provider — Cline's paid gateway (`cline-pass/*` models, plain Bearer key), distinct from the existing OAuth `cline` provider. Regression guard: 16 clinepass tests. ([#5942](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5942) — thanks @adentdk)
+- **feat(relay):** gate **Bifrost auto-routing** by the provider plugin manifest — only manifest-eligible providers reach the sidecar; ineligible/unknown providers fall back to the existing TS routing path with explicit reasons. Regression guards: 4 provider-plugin-manifest + 11 relay-routing-backend tests. ([#5870](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5870) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(providers):** wire **Claude Sonnet 5** end-to-end across the model pipeline — registries, `modelSpecs`, pricing (×3), cost, Sonnet-family fallback, 1M-context, and static models. ([#5833](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5833) — thanks @ggiak)
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **dashboard (`/dashboard/system/proxy` 500 on every render):** `ProxyRegistryManager` called `useProxyBatchOperations(load)` before the `const load = useCallback(...)` declaration in the component body, so every server render threw a TDZ `ReferenceError: Cannot access 'load' before initialization` and the whole proxy page 500'd (#5918 regression, caught by the release-PR e2e smoke — the PR→release fast-gates never render pages). The hook block now sits after the `load` declaration. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/ProxyRegistryManager-tdz-render.test.tsx` (SSR renderToString — the exact crash mode).
+
+- **server (TRACE/TRACK/CONNECT returned raw 500 on every route):** methods that undici/fetch cannot represent blew up inside Next's middleware adapter (`TypeError: 'TRACE' HTTP method is unsupported.`) as an unhandled 500 (caught by the release-PR dast-smoke Schemathesis negative tests on the new `/api/keys/{id}/devices` endpoint). The raw HTTP method guard now answers a clean 405 + `Allow` header for these methods on any path, before Next sees the request. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dast-method-not-allowed.test.ts` (new case).
+
+- **i18n (auto-detect refreshed every first visit):** `LocaleAutoDetect` (#5979) called `router.refresh()` on every cookie-less first visit — even when the detected browser locale was exactly the one the server had just rendered — re-navigating the page mid-interaction (flaky e2e "execution context destroyed" + a visible flash for every new visitor). It now refreshes only when the detected locale differs from the server-rendered `<html lang>`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/LocaleAutoDetect-refresh.test.tsx`.
+
+- **models (`oc/` alias must reach the no-auth OpenCode provider):** restore the [#2901](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/2901) routing contract after the #5918 transitive-alias change made the registered no-auth `opencode` provider unreachable by any prefix (`oc/` chained through the manual `opencode` → `opencode-zen` slug override and misrouted its combo entries). `resolveProviderAlias` now stops the alias chain as soon as a hop lands on a registered provider id, while keeping #5918's transitivity across alias-only hops and its loop/depth guards. Regression guards: `tests/unit/combo-builder-opencode-prefix.test.ts`, `tests/unit/provider-alias-transitive-5918.test.ts`.
+
+- **providers (Auggie executor EPIPE crash):** a fast-exiting `auggie` CLI (e.g. binary present but immediately failing) delivered `EPIPE` **asynchronously** as an `'error'` event on the child's stdin stream — which a plain try/catch around `stdin.write()` cannot catch — crashing the request instead of surfacing the sanitized CLI error. Both spawn sites now attach a stdin `'error'` handler so the child's own exit/close handlers report the failure. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auggie-executor.test.ts` (deterministic 3/3 locally).
+
+- **dashboard (CoolingConnectionsPanel broke `next build`):** the cooling-connections panel from #6061 imported `Card` from a shadcn-style path that does not exist in this repo (`@/components/ui/card`) and pulled the server DB barrel (`@/lib/localDb`) into a client component — `next build` failed to compile on the release branch. The panel now renders with repo-native markup and reads `formatResetCountdown` from the new client-safe `src/shared/utils/formatting.ts`. Regression guards: `tests/unit/format-reset-countdown.test.ts`, `tests/unit/ui/CoolingConnectionsPanel.test.tsx`. ([#6155](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6155))
+
+- **oauth (Zed "Unknown provider" crash):** adding **Zed** from the providers dashboard threw an unhandled `OAuth GET error: Unknown provider: zed` (500) ([#6041](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6041)). Zed is a **keychain-import-only** provider — it's listed in the OAuth catalog so the UI shows it, but has no OAuth handler, so the generic `/api/oauth/[provider]/[action]` route hit `getProvider("zed")` and crashed. The route now recognizes keychain-import-only providers and returns a clear **400** pointing users at the **Import** button (for both GET and POST OAuth actions), instead of a 500. Regression guard: `tests/unit/oauth-keychain-import-only-6041.test.ts`. (thanks @imblowsnow)
+
+- **fix(providers):** disable the unsupported `thinking` param for `minimax-m2.7` on NVIDIA NIM (the upstream rejects it) ([#6102](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6102)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-minimax-thinking-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(mitm):** add an in-process guard so concurrent MITM server starts no longer race — a second start while one is already in flight is short-circuited instead of double-binding the listener ([#6107](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6107)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-start-guard.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **translator (Responses → Chat Completions):** strip the Responses-API-only `truncation` field before forwarding a `/v1/responses` request to a non-OpenAI Chat Completions upstream ([#6109](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6109)). Strict upstreams (e.g. NVIDIA NIM) rejected it with HTTP 400 `Unsupported parameter(s): truncation`, breaking Codex-style clients routed to those providers. `client_metadata`, `background`, and `safety_identifier` were already stripped — `truncation` was the remaining gap. Regression guard: `tests/unit/responses-strip-truncation-2311.test.ts`. (thanks @TuanNguyen0708)
+
+- **combo (prefer known context capacity over unknown):** when a combo filters out at least one target for exceeding a _known_ context limit, the router now prefers the remaining known-compatible targets over targets whose context metadata is simply unknown, instead of letting unknown-metadata targets be the only survivors. If no known-compatible context target remains, context-only candidates fall back to the normal strategy order. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-context-window-filter.test.ts`. ([#6088](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6088) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+
+- **models (GLM-5.2 context normalization):** stop treating every hosted GLM-5.2 provider alias as the native 1M-context model. Native/bare GLM-5.2 and verified OpenCode / ZenMux routes keep their 1,000,000-token context, while hosted-provider aliases now respect the caps declared in their provider metadata instead of inheriting the native max. Regression guards: `tests/unit/model-capabilities-registry.test.ts`, `tests/unit/models-catalog-route.test.ts`. ([#6091](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6091) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+
+- **providers (Gemini Web):** refresh the Gemini Web cookie handling and model catalog so live Gemini Web sessions keep authenticating and routing to current models. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-web.test.ts`. ([#6095](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6095) — thanks @backryun)
+
+- **providers (Perplexity Web):** refresh the Perplexity Web model catalog to the current set (GPT-5.4/5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.0 / Opus 4.8, GLM-5.2, Kimi K2.6, Nemotron 3 Ultra) and update the internal mode / `model_preference` mappings and thinking variants so requests resolve to live upstream models. Regression guard: `tests/unit/perplexity-web.test.ts`. ([#6106](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6106) — thanks @backryun)
+
+- **dashboard ("Update now" → Internal Server Error):** clicking **Update now** on the dashboard home could crash the page with a blank "Internal Server Error" screen (`Minified React error #31`). The handler POSTs the loopback-only `/api/system/version` auto-update endpoint and, on a non-OK JSON response (e.g. a `403` when the dashboard is reached through a reverse proxy / non-loopback origin), passed the raw error envelope object `{ error: { code, message, correlation_id } }` straight to `notify.error()`, which rendered the object as a React child and threw #31. The update-error path now funnels the body through `extractApiErrorMessage()` (the same safe extractor added in #5340), so a readable string always reaches the toast. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/home-update-error-render-5991.test.ts`. ([#5991](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5991))
+- **fix(onboarding):** route the provider-details link in the onboarding wizard by the node's stable id instead of the composite provider slug, which could point at the wrong provider details page for multi-account/fingerprint nodes. Regression guard: `tests/unit/onboarding-wizard-details-link-6145.test.ts`. ([#6145](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6145) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(cli):** give `setup-claude` a fallback profile generator mirroring `setup-codex`, so profile generation no longer silently no-ops when the primary generator path is unavailable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli/setup-claude.test.ts` (new cases). ([#6138](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6138) — thanks @derhornspieler)
+- **fix(glm):** suppress a leaked `</think>` close marker in the GLM Anthropic transport, which was surfacing the raw reasoning-close tag in visible response content instead of being consumed as part of the thinking-block framing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/glm-think-close-marker-leak.test.ts`. ([#6133](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6133) — thanks @dhaern)
+- **fix(provider-limits):** close a TOCTOU race in quota-recovery clearing by moving the check-then-clear to a CAS (compare-and-swap) primitive in `src/lib/db/providers.ts`, so two concurrent recovery paths can no longer both observe stale state and double-clear/re-lock a connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-limits-recovery.test.ts`. ([#6139](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6139) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **fix(provider-limits):** clear transient rate-limit state (`rateLimitedUntil`, `lastError`, `backoffLevel`) as soon as quota recovers, instead of leaving stale rate-limit fields behind that could keep a now-healthy connection looking unavailable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-limits-recovery.test.ts`. ([#6128](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6128) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **combos (OpenCode/MiMo fingerprint accounts):** expand fingerprint-scoped OpenCode/MiMo accounts into their full per-fingerprint set in the combo builder, which previously showed only the first matching account entry and hid the rest from combo target selection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-builder-fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`. ([#6092](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6092), closes [#6087](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6087) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(auth):** persist quota-preflight account lockouts until the reset window elapses, instead of losing the lockout on process restart and letting a still-quota-exhausted account be selected again immediately. Regression guards: `tests/unit/sse-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/opencode-quota-fetcher.test.ts`, `tests/unit/usage-service-hardening.test.ts`. ([#6090](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6090) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+- **combo (fingerprint-based provider expansion):** expand fingerprint-based providers into per-fingerprint combo targets (`open-sse/services/combo/fingerprintExpansion.ts`) so a combo referencing a fingerprint-scoped provider fans out to every matching fingerprint account instead of collapsing onto one. Regression guards: `tests/unit/combo-fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`, `tests/integration/fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`. ([#6082](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6082) — thanks @pizzav-xyz)
+- **fix (safety-net redirect `reqId` crash):** fix a `reqId` `ReferenceError` thrown inside the safety-net combo redirect path in `src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, remove dead code in `src/domain/quotaCache.ts`, and rename the stray root `DESING.md` to `DESIGN.md`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chat-safetynet-reqid-6097.test.ts`. ([#6097](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6097) — thanks @fix2015)
+- **fix(compression):** send a patch-only body to `PUT /api/settings/compression` from `CompressionHub`, instead of round-tripping the full settings object and risking clobbering fields changed elsewhere between load and save. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/CompressionHub-patch-only.test.tsx`. ([#6077](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6077), closes [#6039](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6039) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(codex):** use `access_token.exp` instead of `id_token.exp` when computing `expiresAt` on Codex auth import, since the `id_token` can expire far sooner than the actual access token, causing imported connections to be treated as expired while still usable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-auth-import-expiry.test.ts`. ([#6084](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6084), closes [#6075](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6075) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(security):** persist the IP allow/block-list configuration (it was resetting to Disabled and clearing configured IPs on every restart/update) and actually enforce it in the authz pipeline (`src/server/authz/pipeline.ts`), where it was previously validated but never applied. Regression guards: `tests/unit/ip-filter-persistence-6131.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/ip-filter-enforcement-6131.test.ts`, `tests/unit/ip-filter.test.ts`. (closes [#6131](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6131), [#6132](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6132))
+- **fix (Claude tool_result adjacency):** reattach an OpenAI-shaped `tool_result` to sit directly adjacent to its originating `tool_use` before translating to Claude's message format (`open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-claude/toolResultAdjacency.ts`), since Claude's API rejects/mishandles a tool result separated from its tool call by intervening messages. Regression guard: `tests/unit/translator-openai-to-claude.test.ts` (new cases). ([#6035](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6035) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(config):** externalize `ws`/`bufferutil`/`utf-8-validate` in `next.config.mjs` so the `copilot-m365-web` executor's WebSocket masking path works at runtime — chat requests through it were silently timing out because the bundler was inlining `ws` instead of leaving it as a real Node dependency. Regression guard: `tests/unit/next-config.test.ts`. ([#6130](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6130), closes [#6062](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6062) — thanks @anki1kr, whose #6098 fix it re-lands)
+- **fix(registry):** update grok-cli model context lengths to match the actual Grok CLI `/context` capacities — `grok-build` 128k→256k, `grok-composer-2.5-fast` 128k→200k — so context-aware routing stops filtering these models out for exceeding a stale, too-low limit. Registry-only. ([#5913](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5913) — thanks @Chewji9875)
+- **fix(providers):** strip an orphan `tool_result` (one with no preceding `tool_use`) on the Antigravity MITM path before translating to OpenAI format, since an unpaired tool result upstream caused request failures. Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-orphan-toolresult-6026.test.ts`. (closes [#6026](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6026), [#6115](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6115))
+- **fix(providers):** emulate OpenAI-style `tool_calls` in the GitLab Duo executor (new `open-sse/executors/gitlabResponses.ts`), since the executor previously didn't emulate tool-call semantics for Duo, breaking tool-using clients routed to GitLab Duo. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-duo-toolcalls-6051.test.ts`. (closes [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051), [#6111](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6111))
+- **fix(429 / accountFallback):** persist the per-account 429 cooldown cascade across the request boundary and classify OpenCode's "Monthly usage limit. Resets in N days." message as a connection-scoped quota exhaustion with an N-day cooldown (instead of a ~5s transient retry), so an exhausted account stops being re-selected until its window resets. ([#6061](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6061) — thanks @KooshaPari / @anki1kr, whose superseded #6086 carried the same day-parser approach)
+- **combo (sibling-model fallback on per-model-quota 500s):** when a combo held multiple models from the same provider (e.g. two Gemini models) and the first returned a server 500, the router retried the same locked model and surfaced a 429 "cooling down" instead of trying the sibling — `markConnectionLevelExhaustion` was wrongly tripped by a model-level 500 for per-model-quota providers (gemini, github, passthrough, compatible), and the retry loop didn't check `isModelLocked` before re-hitting the same model. Both gaps are fixed; the combo now falls through to the untried sibling model. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo/combo-target-exhaustion.test.ts` (21 cases). ([#5976](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5976) — thanks @hartmark)
+- **providers (Cline non-streaming envelope):** Cline can return OpenAI-compatible chat completions wrapped as `{ success, data: { choices, usage, ... } }`; the non-streaming path checked the top-level body for empty content before unwrapping, so a valid wrapped response could be misclassified as malformed/empty. The envelope is now unwrapped immediately after provider-envelope handling, before empty-content detection, usage extraction, and translation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cline-response-envelope.test.ts`. ([#6046](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6046) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **providers (kimi-web, qwen-web):** align the kimi-web model catalog and request-scenario selection with `www.kimi.com`'s live `GetAvailableModels` response, and stop aliasing `qwen3-coder-plus` on qwen-web now that it is present as its own model in the live Qwen web catalog. ([#5915](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5915) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **translator (Antigravity/Gemini tool schemas):** strip `multipleOf` from function-declaration parameters before forwarding to Antigravity/Gemini — it is not part of the Gemini OpenAPI 3.0 schema subset accepted upstream and triggered a hard 400 ("Unknown name multipleOf"). Added to `GEMINI_UNSUPPORTED_SCHEMA_KEYS` so it is stripped at every schema level; `minimum`/`maximum` are unaffected since Gemini accepts them. (Ported from 9router#2309, reported by @abil0321.) ([#6052](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6052))
+- **translator (Kiro system prompt leak):** Kiro/CodeWhisperer has no system role, so system messages were normalized into a bare user turn — the full Claude Code system prompt then appeared as raw user text, polluting model context. System-origin content is now wrapped in `<system-reminder>` tags before merging into the Kiro user message; real user turns are unaffected. (Ported from 9router#2306, reported by @VitzS7.) ([#6053](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6053))
+- **fix(codex):** convert Chat Completions `json_schema` `response_format` → Responses API `text.format` on the Codex path, and preserve an existing `text.format` through verbosity normalization. Regression guards: 48 translator-openai-responses-req + 8 codex-verbosity tests. ([#5933](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5933) — thanks @yusufrahadika)
+- **fix(thinking):** only inject the `redacted_thinking` replay block when `tool_use` is present and thinking is enabled, avoiding a fabricated replay block on plain (non-tool) turns. ([#5945](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5945), [#5953](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5953))
+- **fix(resilience):** honor active **codex session affinity** over per-request reset-aware re-scoring, so an in-flight session sticks to its pinned account instead of being re-scored away mid-conversation. New `src/sse/services/sessionAffinityPin.ts` module. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-session-affinity-reset-aware-5903.test.ts`. ([#5903](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5903), [#5943](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5943))
+- **fix(resilience):** compute per-window `is_exhausted` and honor the quota-exhaustion preflight for **priority combos**, so a combo no longer keeps routing to a target whose current window is already exhausted. New `open-sse/services/combo/quotaExhaustionCutoff.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-priority-quota-exhaustion-cutoff-5923.test.ts`. ([#5923](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5923), [#5941](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5941))
+- **fix(providers):** strip a `/v1` suffix from the base URL unconditionally in both models-discovery paths, avoiding a doubled `/v1/v1/models` fetch error (e.g. Api Airforce). Regression guard: `tests/unit/airforce-v1-double-prefix-5899.test.ts`. ([#5899](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5899), [#5920](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5920) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(api):** relax provider-scoped chat completion validation on `/api/providers/[provider]/chat/completions`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-scoped-chat-completions-validation.test.ts`. ([#5907](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5907) — thanks @nickwizard)
+- **fix(providers):** validate **v0 Platform** (Vercel) API keys via the `/chats` endpoint instead of a probe that rejected valid keys. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-validation-specialty.test.ts`. ([#5954](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5954) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+- **fix(mcp):** auto-recover stale streamable HTTP MCP sessions on `initialize` instead of failing the reconnect. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mcp-session-sweep.test.ts`. ([#5957](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5957) — thanks @Chewji9875)
+- **fix(translator):** enforce strict Anthropic content-block compliance when converting an antigravity → openai request. Regression guard: `tests/unit/translator-antigravity-to-openai.test.ts` (9). ([#5935](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5935))
+- **fix(sse):** strip ANSI/VT100 escape codes from `gemini-cli` stream frames using a ReDoS-safe pattern. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-cli-ansi-sanitization.test.ts` (5). ([#5934](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5934) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(discovery):** resolve a doubled `/v1` discovery path and a `REDIRECT_BLOCKED` probe-loop abort in the model-discovery route. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-route.test.ts`. ([#5904](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5904) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **fix(providers): Perplexity Web now emits real `tool_calls` in streaming mode** — previously only non-streaming requests (`hasTools && !stream`) converted `<tool>{...}</tool>` text into OpenAI `tool_calls`; streaming requests (the default for agentic coding clients) got the raw `<tool>` text as plain `delta.content` and never emitted a `tool_calls` SSE delta. Now mirrors the `chatgpt-web` `toolMode` helpers (`buildToolModeResponse()`/`toolCompletionToSseStream()`, extended with a caller-supplied `idSeed` so tool-call ids stay provider-specific), buffering the completion and emitting a terminal SSE replay carrying `delta.tool_calls` + `finish_reason: tool_calls` regardless of the caller's stream flag. ([#5927](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5927), [#5937](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5937))
+- **providers (openai-family model inference no longer hijacks cataloged models):** `resolveModelByProviderInference()` had an unconditional `/^gpt-/i` heuristic that hijacked any model id starting with `gpt-`/`o1`/`o3` into provider `openai`, even when the id is cataloged under other providers — breaking bare (non-combo) requests for open-weight models like `gpt-oss-120b` (served by fireworks/cerebras/scaleway/byteplus/sambanova/heroku), which don't exist on openai's catalog, producing a 404 with no fallback. The heuristic is now gated on `providers.length === 0` so it only fires for genuinely uncataloged openai-family ids. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gptoss-provider-inference-5852.test.ts`. ([#5852](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5852), [#5938](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5938))
+- **fix(providers): deepseek-web reliability** — auto-refresh the session on `401`/`403`, refresh the v2.0.0 client headers, and fix the token-kind bulk import path. Regression guards: `tests/unit/deepseek-web-autorefresh-401-response.test.ts`, `tests/unit/bulk-web-session-import.test.ts`. ([#5988](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5988) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(api):** guard the shared frontend API client (`handleResponse` in `src/shared/utils/api.ts`) against non-JSON error responses — it previously called `response.json()` unconditionally and read `data.error` directly, throwing an unrelated parse error (or `undefined`) instead of a useful message when an upstream/proxy returned a non-JSON error body. Now routes through `parseResponseBody`/`getErrorMessage` to build a safe message regardless of body shape. Regression guard: `tests/unit/shared-api-utils.test.ts`. ([#5973](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5973))
+- **fix(embeddings):** forward the connection-level proxy configuration to embedding requests — `src/lib/embeddings/service.ts` previously ignored a connection's configured proxy when making embedding calls, so proxy-only network setups leaked embedding traffic outside the proxy. Regression guard: `tests/unit/embeddings-proxy-forwarding.test.ts`. ([#5975](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5975))
+- **fix(resilience):** parse `Retry-After` from a 429's JSON body for cooldown calculation, not just the HTTP header — a new `retryAfterJson.ts` helper extracts a retry-after hint from common JSON error-body shapes and `accountFallback.ts`'s cooldown path now prefers it when the header is absent. Regression guard: `tests/unit/account-fallback-retry-after-json.test.ts`. (Includes #6013's retry-after-json extraction.) ([#5974](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5974) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **release close (release-PR one-pass CI sweep):** restore Zod validation on the provider-scoped chat route with a `.passthrough()` schema that keeps #5907's relaxed semantics (t06 route-validation gate); point `/api/keys/{id}/devices`' 401 response at the management error envelope in `docs/openapi.yaml` (Schemathesis schema-conformance); rebaseline `i18nUiCoverage.pct` 77.5→76.8 (~1352 new en.json UI keys from the cycle await the async translation workflow — same shape as the v3.8.39 rebaseline); dismiss 2 CodeQL `js/incomplete-url-substring-sanitization` false positives on unit-test asserts (v3.8.35 precedent).
+
+- **release close (Phase 0 pre-flight):** align cycle-stale tests with merged behavior — provider count 166→167 (Kenari #6104), Linux-regenerated translate-path golden (+`kenari`), OpenCode quota scope `provider`→`connection` (#6061) — and absorb cycle ratchet drift (file-size caps for `oauth/[provider]/[action]/route.ts` 960, `providerLimits.ts` 998, `chat.ts` 1662, `auth.ts` 2426, with #6158 tracked to restore the oauth-route freeze). The test-masking gate gains a narrowly-scoped `_deletedWithReplacement` allowlist section (deletion is exempt ONLY when the declared replacement test file exists in HEAD — used for `targetExhaustion.test.ts` → `tests/unit/combo/combo-target-exhaustion.test.ts`, which has MORE coverage: 21 cases/52 asserts vs 13/37), plus 5 new gate unit tests and reduction-allowlist entries for the verified-legitimate #5958/#6088/#5816 assert migrations.
+
+- **test (deflake `setup-claude`):** `tests/unit/cli/setup-claude.test.ts` failed ~50% of runs with `Unable to deserialize cloned data due to invalid or unsupported version` at file teardown (all subtests passed), randomly reddening `Unit Tests fast-path (2/2)` / `Fast Quality Gates` across the PR→release queue. Root cause: `node --test` streams each file's report to the parent as V8-serialized frames on fd 1 (stdout), and the CLI helper under test (`syncClaudeProfilesFromModels`) prints progress via `console.log` — that stdout output interleaved with the serialized frames and corrupted the stream. The test now silences the stdout-writing `console` methods for the file's duration (no assertion inspects stdout), making it deterministic (15/15 green locally). ([#5959](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5959)) ([#6021](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6021))
+
+- **API validation:** add a `validatedJsonBody(request, schema)` helper in `src/shared/validation/helpers.ts` that fuses JSON body parsing and Zod validation into a single call, returning either the type-narrowed data or a ready-to-return 400 `NextResponse` with the standard error envelope. Salvaged from the closed refactor PR #5075 (Tier 1 portable helper) with a focused 6-case regression test. Co-authored-by: KooshaPari <KooshaPari@users.noreply.github.com>
+- **repo (Windows case-conflict cleanup):** remove the stale root `DESIGN.md`, which case-conflicted with `design.md` and broke checkouts/clones on case-insensitive Windows filesystems. ([#6140](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6140) — thanks @backryun)
+- **i18n(zh-CN):** translate the CHANGELOG entries and section headings, adopting zh-CN as a fully translated locale alongside the existing supporting docs. ([#6043](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6043) — thanks @studyzy)
+- **docs (env-doc-sync base-red):** document `BIFROST_PORT` in `.env.example` / `docs/reference/ENVIRONMENT.md` — the Bifrost embedded-service merge referenced `process.env.BIFROST_PORT` (default 8080) without documenting it, so `check:env-doc-sync` failed on the release tip and reddened Fast Quality Gates for every open PR→release. Docs-only (`8d7e3e28f`).
+- **test (CI-runner-independent translate-path golden):** normalize OS/arch-derived request headers (`X-Stainless-Os`/`X-Stainless-Arch`, `(OS;arch)` User-Agent segments, and Antigravity's `os.platform()`-derived platform substring) in the provider translate-path golden snapshot, so the test no longer depends on the OS/arch of the CI runner that generated it — a Mac-literal Antigravity UA was failing on Linux CI. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-translate-path-golden.test.ts`. ([#6076](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6076) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **release-green base-reds (#5695 regex + file-size rebaseline):** `tests/unit/ui/quick-start-api-keys-link-5695.test.ts` now tolerates Prettier splitting a multi-line `<Link href=...>` so the `step1Desc` regex matches the `/dashboard/api-manager` link instead of skipping to `step2`'s single-line `/dashboard/providers` link (test was brittle, not the code). Also rebaselines 5 files that grew via already-merged release-tip PRs in `config/quality/file-size-baseline.json` (`ApiManagerPageClient` 3017→3058, `OAuthModal` 969→989, `cliRuntime` 1090→1100, `webProvidersA` 805→809, `deepseek-web.test` 1081→1092), with shrink tracked in #3501. ([#6093](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6093))
+- **release close (LEDGER-4 base-red):** the `cline-pass` provider's `minimax-m3` registry entry was missing `supportsVision`, breaking the LEDGER-4 registry-consistency test (every `minimax-m3` entry must set `supportsVision` to match `lite.ts` — the model is multimodal). Flagged it to match every other `minimax-m3` entry (trae, bazaarlink, cline, ollama-cloud, ...). ([#6003](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6003))
+- **release close (stryker `tap.testFiles` drift):** additional release-green cleanup clearing the `qoder` registry's `minimax-m3` `supportsVision` LEDGER-4 base-red and `stryker.conf.json`'s `tap.testFiles` drift. ([#6012](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6012))
+- **install (pnpm 11+ support):** pnpm 11 introduced `ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS` for native addon packages — without explicit `allowBuilds` approval, packages silently skip their build scripts and OmniRoute fails to start with missing native modules. Sets `allowBuilds=true` for all 13 native addon packages in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` (`@parcel/watcher`, `@swc/core`, `better-sqlite3`, `core-js`, `esbuild`, `keytar`, `koffi`, `libxmljs2`, `onnxruntime-node`, `protobufjs`, `sharp`, `tls-client-node`, `unrs-resolver`) and migrates `onlyBuiltDependencies` from the deprecated `package.json` field to a new `pnpm.json`. (commit 39349da18 — thanks @chirag127)
+- **refactor (Block J hot-path decomposition):** extract pure leaves with no behavior change from the executor, translator, combo, and SSE hot paths — orphaned executor tests moved to top-level so a runner collects them, and `handleComboChat`'s auto-strategy/target-timeout regions split into named helpers. ([#6063](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6063), [#6049](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6049), [#6036](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6036), [#6030](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6030), [#6020](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6020), [#6018](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6018), [#6017](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6017), [#6016](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6016), [#6015](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6015), [#6014](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6014), [#6008](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6008), [#6006](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6006), [#6000](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6000), [#5999](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5999), [#5994](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5994), [#5967](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5967), [#5962](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5962), [#5960](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5960), [#5947](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5947), [#5949](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5949), [#5940](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5940), [#5932](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5932))
+- **chore (quality/CI housekeeping):** rebaseline residual ESLint/cognitive-complexity/file-size drift accumulated over the v3.8.44 cycle, move orphaned executor tests to a top-level location so a runner actually collects them, harden the release pipeline with a test-masking pre-flight gate plus contributors/uncovered helpers, and make the `pr-evidence` FAIL output tell the author to push (a body edit alone does not re-run the gate). ([#5926](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5926), [#5944](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5944), [#5952](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5952), [#6027](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6027), [#5928](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5928), plus a #5975-collateral test hardening pinning a seeded connection to direct egress in route-edge-coverage)
+- **docs (housekeeping):** normalize mixed-language documentation content, restore the OpenAPI coverage ratchet by documenting 9 newly-added routes, record Hard Rule #22 (cross-session safety — `git stash` + in-flight PR bans), and document the compression-engine's upstream sync policy for the RTK/Caveman engines. ([#6105](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6105), [#5955](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5955), [#5948](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5948), plus docs-only commit 926b08aa8)

-#### Solução: Configure suas próprias credenciais OAuth
-
-Você precisa criar um **OAuth 2.0 Client ID** no Google Cloud Console com a URI do seu servidor.
-
-#### Passo a passo
-
-**1. Acesse o Google Cloud Console**
-
-Abra: [https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials)
-
-**2. Crie um novo OAuth 2.0 Client ID**
-
-- Clique em **"+ Create Credentials"** → **"OAuth client ID"**
-- Tipo de aplicativo: **"Web application"**
-- Nome: escolha qualquer nome (ex: `OmniRoute Remote`)
-
-**3. Adicione as Authorized Redirect URIs**
-
-No campo **"Authorized redirect URIs"**, adicione:
-
-```
-https://seu-servidor.com/callback
-```
-
-> Substitua `seu-servidor.com` pelo domínio ou IP do seu servidor (inclua a porta se necessário, ex: `http://45.33.32.156:20128/callback`).
-
-**4. Salve e copie as credenciais**
-
-Após criar, o Google mostrará o **Client ID** e o **Client Secret**.
-
-**5. Configure as variáveis de ambiente**
-
-No seu `.env` (ou nas variáveis de ambiente do Docker):
-
-```bash
-# Para Antigravity:
-ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=seu-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
-ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-seu-secret
-
-GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=seu-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
-GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-seu-secret
-```
-
-**6. Reinicie o OmniRoute**
-
-```bash
-# Se usando npm:
-npm run dev
-
-# Se usando Docker:
-docker restart omniroute
-```
-
-**7. Tente conectar novamente**
-
-
-Agora o Google redirecionará corretamente para `https://seu-servidor.com/callback` e a autenticação funcionará.
-
----
-
-#### Workaround temporário (sem configurar credenciais próprias)
-
-Se não quiser criar credenciais próprias agora, ainda é possível usar o fluxo **manual de URL**:
-
-1. O OmniRoute abrirá a URL de autorização do Google
-2. Após você autorizar, o Google tentará redirecionar para `localhost` (que falha no servidor remoto)
-3. **Copie a URL completa** da barra de endereço do seu browser (mesmo que a página não carregue)
-4. Cole essa URL no campo que aparece no modal de conexão do OmniRoute
-5. Clique em **"Connect"**
-
-> Este workaround funciona porque o código de autorização na URL é válido independente do redirect ter carregado ou não.

+- **9router Codex import**: the Codex bulk-import endpoint (`POST /api/oauth/codex/import`) now accepts 9router's camelCase account export (`accessToken`/`refreshToken`/`idToken`/`expiresAt` + nested `providerSpecificData`), not just snake_case — `normalizeCodexImportRecord` maps the camelCase aliases onto the existing snake_case keys, filling each only when absent so snake_case/mixed exports keep working unchanged ([#6665](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6665)) — thanks @deadcoder0904. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codexBulkImport.test.ts` (9router camelCase record, pre-supplied `providerSpecificData` without an id_token, snake_case-not-overridden, and a full `{accounts:[...]}` flatten).

+- **feat(release):** `changelog.d/` fragments — eliminates the CHANGELOG merge-storm cascade. ([#6783](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6783) — thanks @diegosouzapw)

+
+- **feat(dashboard):** sidebar quick-filter — a search input at the top of the expanded dashboard sidebar (`src/shared/components/Sidebar.tsx`) filters nav sections/groups/items client-side by label as you type, reusing the existing `common.search`/`common.noResults` i18n keys (zero new locale edits) and the shared `Input` `icon="search"` pattern; matching sections auto-expand while searching (bypassing the accordion/pin state) and collapse back to normal once the query is cleared. Pure filtering logic extracted into `filterSidebarSectionsByQuery()` (`src/shared/utils/sidebarSearch.ts`) for isolated unit testing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/sidebar-search-filter.test.ts`, `src/shared/components/Sidebar.search.test.tsx`. (#4013 — thanks @crochabe-cyber)
+- **feat(combo):** `auto/*` combos gain a strict budget-cap fallback policy — `X-OmniRoute-Budget-Fallback: strict` (or the persisted `config.budgetFallback: "strict"`) makes an over-budget request fail fast with `HTTP 402` instead of the previous silent fallback to the globally cheapest candidate, which could still exceed the cap. The default (`cheapest`) preserves existing behavior. Builds on the existing `X-OmniRoute-Budget`/`X-OmniRoute-Mode` per-request controls (#6023/#6024/#6025), consolidated into `resolveRequestAutoControls()`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auto-combo-budget-fallback-3470.test.ts`. (#3470)
+- **Provider/model param filters**: config-driven parameter denylist/allowlist per provider/model with auto-learn from upstream 400s (#6649 — thanks @ThongAccount, closes #6625)
+- **Per-combo reasoning token buffer toggle**: the combo builder now exposes an explicit checkbox for the `#3587` reasoning-model `max_tokens` buffer, defaulting to the existing enabled behavior, so a combo can opt out without hand-editing raw JSON config (#6702 — thanks @xz-dev)
+- **feat(dashboard):** 9router-parity **Routing Strategy** settings card on Settings → Routing, plus a per-provider account-routing override on the provider detail page ([#6678](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6678)) — surfaces the existing account round-robin / sticky-limit knobs and adds a new combo-level sticky round-robin (`comboStickyRoundRobinLimit`, resolved via `resolveComboStickyRoundRobinLimit()` — per-combo → global combo sticky → account sticky cascade) so combo targets can batch calls per target the same way account fallback already does. A new `providerStrategies` setting (Zod-validated map, `src/shared/validation/settingsSchemas.ts`) lets a specific provider override the global `fallbackStrategy`/`stickyRoundRobinLimit` without touching the account-wide default, wired into `getProviderCredentials()` (`src/sse/services/auth.ts`) ahead of the global fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-rr-sticky-9router.test.ts`, `tests/unit/settings-ui-layout-static.test.ts`. (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **feat(icons):** provider logos now resolve local SVG assets first for faster rendering, with a 5-tier fallback chain — local SVG → `@lobehub/icons` React components → `thesvg.org` CDN (external SVG for unknown providers) → local PNG → generic AI icon — replacing the previous LobeHub-first order. Adds dozens of first-party provider SVGs and migrates several bitmap logos (continue/copilot/cursor/deepgram/heroku/openclaw/ovhcloud) from PNG to SVG. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/ProviderIcon-icon-url.test.tsx`. ([#6317](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6317) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **Skill Collector CLI detection**: new `GET /api/skills/collect/detect` + `POST /api/skills/collect/install` (and the `cli-skill-collector` agent skill) detect which coding CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Cline, Hermes, OpenCode, etc.) are installed locally via `getCliRuntimeStatus()`, match them against GitHub agent-skill repos, and plan an install path per tool — replacing the standalone Skill Collector Python app. Both new routes and `GET/POST /api/github-skills` now require management auth (`requireManagementAuth()`) and are loopback-gated (`LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` + `SPAWN_CAPABLE_PREFIXES`) since the detect route spawns a child process per candidate CLI tool (Hard Rules #15 + #17). The `omniroute_github_skills_install` MCP tool now reports the honest `action: "planned"` instead of `"installed"`, matching the REST route (#6294 — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **ClinePass dual-auth**: ClinePass now offers both sign-in methods on its dashboard page — OAuth (reusing the Cline WorkOS flow) as the primary "Connect" path, or a pasted BYOK API key via "Manual API key", instead of only the API-key-only provider shipped in #5942. The registry alias was aligned to `cp` (matching the `OAUTH_PROVIDERS` catalog alias) so `<alias>/<modelId>` routing resolves correctly, the OAuth refresh dispatch now routes `clinepass` to the shared Cline refresh flow, and the duplicate API-key-only catalog entry was removed to keep ClinePass listed once. Regression guard: `tests/unit/clinepass-provider.test.ts`. (#6126 — thanks @hajilok)
+- **feat(oauth):** Kiro/Amazon Q auto-import now supports enterprise **External IdP** ("Your organization") logins via Microsoft Entra/Okta/Auth0/OneLogin/Ping/Google/Cognito — these org-issued tokens are not AWS SSO tokens (no `aorAAAAAG`-prefixed refresh token) and can't refresh through the AWS OIDC/Kiro-social path, so `tryAwsSsoCache()` now detects them (`authMethod`/`provider === "externalidp"`) and refreshes via the org IdP's own `tokenEndpoint` (public-client OAuth2 refresh grant, no client secret), persisting `TokenType: EXTERNAL_IDP` gating so the runtime executor sends the header the AWS CodeWhisperer API requires for these accounts; `tokenEndpoint` is SSRF-guarded against an HTTPS + known-IdP-host-suffix allowlist. (#6363 — thanks @artickc)
+- **Kiro long-lived API key auth**: new `/api/oauth/kiro/api-key` route + `KiroService.validateApiKey` let a Kiro account be linked with a long-lived AWS CodeWhisperer/Kiro API key instead of the interactive OAuth device flow, with live per-account model discovery (`ListAvailableModels`, 5-minute cache) layered over the existing static registry fallback (#6587 — thanks @strangersp)
+- **Chaos Mode**: multi-model parallel/collaborative task execution — dispatches a task to every active provider connection at once (parallel) or chains outputs sequentially so each model builds on the previous one's answer (collaborative), configurable via Dashboard → Chaos Mode (`GET`/`PUT`/`DELETE /api/chaos/config`) and gated per-API-key via a new `chaosModeEnabled` permission (opt-in — disabled by default globally and per key). `POST /api/chaos/run` (dashboard session) and `POST /api/skills/collect/chaos` (external Bearer-token) delegate to a shared `executeChaosRun()` engine (`src/lib/chaos/chaosExecutor.ts`) that dispatches in-process via the established synthetic-Request/route-handler pattern (no network hop, no hardcoded port), with a concurrency cap (max 10 parallel), configurable `max_tokens` (256–128k), a clear error when `stream` is requested, and collaborative-chain info (provider order + input size). Fixes external Bearer-auth bypass and stale config-cache leakage. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chaos-config.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chaos-executor.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chaos-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6728](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6728) — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **feat(cli):** 2 new CLI tool integrations on Dashboard → CLI Tools — **omp** (Oh My Pi) and **letta** — each with binary detection, config apply/reset, and a settings card following the existing tool-card pattern. Both settings routes shell out to `which omp`/`which letta` to detect the local install, so they're loopback-gated (`LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES`, Hard Rules #15/#17) in addition to the shared `requireCliToolsAuth()` management-auth guard every cli-tools route requires, and route errors through `sanitizeErrorMessage()`; `src/lib/db/omp.ts` isolates the `omp` CLI's own local SQLite reads behind parameterized queries. (Note: the original PR also proposed **pi**, **codewhale**, and **jcode** integrations — those three had already shipped via a separate PR by the time this one was reconciled, so only omp+letta landed here.) Regression guard: `tests/unit/db/omp.test.ts`, `tests/unit/cli-tools-auth-hardening.test.ts`, `tests/integration/cli-settings-omp.test.ts`, `tests/integration/cli-settings-letta.test.ts`. ([#6318](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6318) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **feat(providers):** custom models now support a manual **Context Window Override** so an operator can correct a provider's misreported context length (e.g. reports 1M when the real limit is 128K) instead of the model silently getting dropped from combo routing once the wrong value lands in the catalog ([#4125](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/4125) — thanks @rucciva). Reuses the existing Feature-5004 `model_context_overrides` table (`source: "manual"`) — already the priority-0 source `getModelContextLimit()` (the function combo's context-window filter calls) reads ahead of the models.dev/registry/static catalog — so no new resolver logic was needed, only the missing write path: `PUT /api/provider-models` now accepts an optional `contextWindowOverride` (number to set, `null` to clear), `GET` surfaces the current value back on each custom-model row, and the provider detail page's custom-model edit form gained a Context Window Override field + badge. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-context-window-override-4125.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** register OpenRouter as a rerank provider so `openrouter/cohere/rerank-*` models resolve instead of erroring `Invalid rerank model` (#6574 — thanks @rafpigna)
+- **fix(api):** `HEAD` requests no longer hang until client timeout on any route — valid, unknown, authed, or unauthed ([#6400](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6400)), broader follow-up to the route-specific #6517 (`/v1/models`). Root cause: Next.js 16's App Router _route-handler_ pipeline (`next/dist/server/send-response.js`) correctly skips piping a `Response` body for `HEAD`, but its _page_-rendering pipeline (`next/dist/server/pipe-readable.js` → `pipeToNodeResponse`, used for every app-router page/layout render — including the `not-found` boundary any unmatched path falls through to) has no such check and always streams the full rendered body regardless of method; combined with Node's default keep-alive framing this left some clients unsure whether the (implicitly bodyless) `HEAD` response had actually finished. A new `scripts/dev/head-response-guard.cjs`, wired into both the dev/start custom server (`scripts/dev/run-next.mjs`) and the packaged standalone server (`scripts/dev/standalone-server-ws.mjs`) at the same tier as the existing `http-method-guard.cjs`/`peer-stamp.mjs` wrappers, discards any body bytes written for a `HEAD` request and forces `Connection: close` once `.end()` is called — independent of route existence or auth state, satisfying RFC 9110 §9.3.2. Regression guard: `tests/unit/head-request-closes-6400.test.ts`.
+- **feat(dashboard):** Provider Quota page (`Dashboard → Quota`) fills horizontal whitespace before stacking vertically ([#3520](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3520)) — `QuotaCardGrid` previously stacked every provider group in a single vertical `flex flex-col`, and each group's own card grid didn't go multi-column until `md` (`grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 xl:grid-cols-3 2xl:grid-cols-4`). Provider groups now flow into a 2-column CSS multi-column layout on very wide (`2xl`) screens instead of an unconditional vertical stack, and each group's card grid starts at 2 columns immediately (`grid-cols-2 md:grid-cols-3 xl:grid-cols-4`), reaching higher density sooner on narrower-but-not-mobile viewports. Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-card-grid-horizontal-layout.test.ts` (thanks @gdevenyi).
+- **feat(ws):** the live-dashboard WebSocket server now auto-starts in-process (via `instrumentation-node.ts`) across every deployment mode — dev, production, Docker, Electron — with no separate sidecar script; the default WS port moved from 20129 to **20132** to avoid colliding with `API_PORT` in split-port setups, the deprecated `OMNIROUTE_DISABLE_LIVE_WS` env was consolidated into `OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS` (default enabled), and the WS path is now derived from `NEXT_PUBLIC_LIVE_WS_PUBLIC_URL`'s pathname (`/live-ws` fallback) (#6072 — thanks @ianriizky).
+- **feat(compression):** new **omniglyph** engine (context-as-image) — renders system prompt, tool docs, and dense history as compact PNG pages the model reads instead of text (~10× fewer tokens on the converted block; 59–70% end-to-end measured). Works stacked with RTK/Caveman (`stackPriority: 90`) or standalone (`mode: omniglyph`); restricted to Claude Fable 5 over the direct Anthropic route, fail-closed gates with `skip:<reason>` techniques, preview (`stable: false`, off by default) (#6556). Dependency bumped to `omniglyph@^1.0.2` for upstream ReDoS fixes (#6661).
+- **feat(sandbox):** the skill sandbox gained a container-provider abstraction that auto-detects and uses the best native runtime per host — Apple Container (macOS 26+), WSL container (`wslc.exe`), OrbStack, Podman — instead of hardcoding `docker run`, removing the Docker Desktop requirement on macOS/Windows (#6611 — thanks @KooshaPari).
+- **fix(sse):** skip `thinkingConfig` for Gemma models on the OpenAI→Gemini path so OpenAI-shape clients no longer get a 400 from Vertex. (thanks @chy1211)
+- **feat(xai):** route xAI clients to Grok's native `/v1/responses` endpoint instead of the chat-completions bridge. (thanks @ryanngit)
+- **feat(models):** add a Settings → AI "Model Overrides" UI plus `/api/model-capability-overrides` CRUD and a `model_capability_overrides` table, letting operators set a manual max-output-token override per provider/model (#6727 — thanks @xz-dev).
+- **feat(resilience):** operator-configurable account rotation policy — a new `rotationConfig` layer lets operators tune how connections rotate on failure, wired into `accountFallback` (#6763 — thanks @artickc).
+- **chore(cursor): add Grok 4.5 effort/fast model IDs** (#6774 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- **feat(codex):** Codex provider model discovery now fetches the live catalog from `chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/models` using Codex-shaped headers, falling back to a GitHub-hosted model manifest and then to the local static catalog when the live/GitHub sources are unavailable or return an unexpected shape — new `src/app/api/providers/[id]/models/discovery/codex.ts` (normalization, version-gating, merge/enrich against the local catalog) covered by `tests/unit/provider-models-discovery-split.test.ts` and `tests/unit/provider-models-route-codex.test.ts` (#6776 — thanks @JxnLexn).
+- **feat(cursor):** register the Opus 4.8, Fable 5, and Sonnet 5 model families for the Cursor Agent provider so the latest Claude/Fable model ids route correctly (#6779 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- **Changelog fragments (`changelog.d/`)**: PRs now add their changelog entry as a new fragment file (`changelog.d/{features|fixes|maintenance}/<PR>-<slug>.md`) instead of editing `CHANGELOG.md` — two PRs never touch the same file, structurally eliminating the CHANGELOG-eat merge conflicts that forced a re-sync push + full CI re-run after every sibling merge (O(N²) CI runs in a merge-storm). `scripts/release/aggregate-changelog.mjs` (npm run changelog:aggregate) folds fragments into the living section at release reconciliation, and `check:changelog-integrity` now also validates fragment well-formedness. Regression guard: `tests/unit/changelog-fragments.test.ts`.
+- **feat(proxy):** add a latency-optimized proxy rotation strategy that ranks pool entries by measured round-trip latency, extending the existing round-robin/random/sticky proxy-pool selection (#6798 — thanks @iamraydoan).
+- **feat(fusion):** the fusion judge may now draw on its own knowledge and override the panel when every panel answer is wrong or incomplete, instead of being restricted to synthesizing only from panel output (#6804 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **feat(dashboard):** search box on the Playground's raw model `<select>` (#4086) — the shared `ModelSelectModal` (combo builder + CLI-code cards) already had search, but Playground's `StudioConfigPane` model dropdown stayed a flat unsearchable list, unusable once a provider like OpenRouter contributed 50+ models. Typing now filters the dropdown (Turkish-safe accent/case-insensitive match via `matchesSearch`), while the currently selected model always stays pinned in the list even if it no longer matches the query, so typing never silently swaps the active selection. Reuses the existing `common.search` i18n key (already translated in all 42 locales) — no new translation key needed. Regression guard: `tests/unit/playground-model-selection-3731.test.ts` (`filterModelsByQuery`), `tests/unit/ui/playground-model-search-4086.test.tsx`.
+- **feat(usage):** Antigravity/agy quota widget now surfaces the **weekly** window alongside the existing per-model 5-hour window ([#4017](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/4017)) — the weekly limit isn't part of the per-model `retrieveUserQuota` response the fetcher already calls; it only appears in a separate, undocumented `retrieveUserQuotaSummary` RPC that groups models into families ("Gemini Models", "Claude and GPT models") with one weekly bucket per family. A new `usage/antigravityWeeklyQuota.ts` leaf fetches that RPC (cached, best-effort — a failure or unavailable RPC never breaks the existing per-model quotas) and parses the weekly bucket per group into `gemini_weekly`/`claude_gpt_weekly` quota entries, merged into the same `quotas` map the widget already renders generically. Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-weekly-quota-4017.test.ts` (bucket parsing, the alternate `quotaSummary`-nested envelope, and end-to-end merge via `getUsageForProvider`).
+- **feat(codex):** Codex CLI compatibility shim — the Responses API `response.created`/`response.in_progress`/`response.completed` payloads now carry a `model` field (previously absent), and for Codex-CLI-originated requests it echoes the client-requested, effort-suffixed model id (e.g. `gpt-5.5-xhigh`) instead of the bare upstream id (`gpt-5.5`), so the Codex CLI status line/model button shows the active reasoning effort ([#3697](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3697)). `openaiToOpenAIResponsesResponse` (`open-sse/translator/response/openai-responses.ts`) now threads the upstream model into the Responses event objects; a new `isCodexOriginatedHeaders()` (`open-sse/config/codexIdentity.ts`, reusing PR #3481's `originator`/User-Agent detection) makes chatCore's existing opt-in `echoRequestedModelName` (#1311) model-echo pipeline fire automatically for Codex clients regardless of the setting, detected by request headers so it still applies when `codex/gpt-5.5-xhigh` is routed through a combo to a non-codex upstream; `echoModelInObject`/`echoModelInSseLine` (`open-sse/services/responseModelEcho.ts`) now also rewrite the nested `response.model` field the Responses API uses. `/v1/models` still returns `models: []` for Codex (unchanged). Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-effort-model-echo-3697.test.ts`.
+- **Z.ai Web (free web-session provider)**: new `zai-web` web-cookie provider drives the free chat.z.ai consumer chat UI via a pasted browser session cookie, distinct from the existing API-key `zai`/`glm`/`glm-cn`/`glmt` providers (`api.z.ai`) — modeled on the `doubao-web`/`venice-web` cookie executors and the pre-existing `chatglm-web` credential requirement/token-extraction entries. `ZaiWebExecutor` (`open-sse/executors/zai-web.ts`) posts to `chat.z.ai/api/chat/completions` with the cookie forwarded both as `Cookie` and as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`, and normalizes both z.ai's internal `delta_content`/`phase` SSE envelope and a pass-through OpenAI-shaped `choices[].delta` frame into standard chat-completion chunks. Registered in `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS`, `WEB_SESSION_CREDENTIAL_REQUIREMENTS`, the provider registry (`zai-web` entry, GLM-4.6/4.5/4.5V models), and `tokenExtractionConfig.ts` for in-app cookie capture. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executor-zai-web.test.ts` (16 tests — token extraction, frame parsing for both SSE shapes, streaming and non-streaming aggregation, error paths). (#4056)
+- **feat(compression):** update the vendored **GCF** codec behind the **Headroom** engine to spec **v3.2 (nested flattening)** ([#6837](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6837)). Homogeneous arrays whose rows carry nested objects/arrays now tabularize via `>`-prefixed path fields instead of a low-yield per-row fallback, so nested MCP tool-result rows (`meta:{...}`, `tags:[...]`) compact like flat rows. On representative shapes the update takes deeply-nested payloads the old codec left near-uncompressed from ~3% to ~32% vs JSON (k8s pods, `cl100k_base`), with shallow-nested rows seeing a small bump and flat arrays unchanged. Re-vendored from current gcf-typescript (zero runtime deps, MIT, SPDX-marked, generic-profile only); also folds in the `[N]:` inline-array quoting fix and canonical decimal formatting. Round-trip stays lossless (order-insensitive), and the decoder is hardened against prototype pollution (a `__proto__`/`constructor` path segment never mutates `Object.prototype`, and keys shadowing built-ins like `toString` now round-trip correctly instead of misparsing). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression/headroom-smartcrusher.test.ts` (deep-nested + prototype-pollution cases).
+- **feat(providers):** Add GPT-5.6 support across OpenAI API, Codex, and ChatGPT Web, including Codex Max/Ultra efforts, VS Code metadata, Fast-tier credit accounting, curated live discovery, the Codex 0.144.1 client identity, and correct chat routing for models that also support image generation ([#6862](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6862)) - thanks @backryun
+- **chore(providers):** Align emitted Claude Code identity headers, bridge fingerprints, provider profiles, and documented defaults with claude-cli 2.1.207 ([#6862](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6862)) - thanks @backryun
+
+### 🐛 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(dashboard):** the Proxy Registry settings page crashed at runtime (`ReferenceError: poolLoaded/bulkImportOpen is not defined`) — the #6625/#6909 hook-extraction refactors deleted 10 state declarations (`poolLoaded`, `poolSaving`, and the 8-member bulk-import family) while ~30 usages remained; all restored (caught by the release E2E; `typecheck:core` does not cover dashboard TSX — follow-up #7021). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(combo):** `comboStickyRoundRobinLimit` now defaults to inherit (`null`) instead of `1` — the literal default silently shadowed the documented batched round-robin rotation (`stickyRoundRobinLimit: 3`), flipping every round-robin combo to per-request alternation (#6678 follow-up, caught by the release CI). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(ws):** the standalone LiveWS startup script exited 0 without ever listening — its bootstrapped child re-spawned with the import-suppressor `OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS=0` and then honored it as an operator disable (#6072 follow-up, caught by the release CI). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+

+- **fix(i18n):** the provider-detail (`/dashboard/providers/[id]`) visibility + free/paid model filter labels (`showVisibleOnly`, `showHiddenOnly`, `freeFilterAll`, `freeFilterFreeOnly`, `freeFilterPaidOnly`, `hideAllModels`, plus the currently-unused `filterVisible`/`filterHidden`/`filterByVisibility`) rendered as the literal `__MISSING__:<english>` sentinel in 15 locales, including pt-BR ([#6694](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6694)) — `providerText()` (`providerPageHelpers.ts`) checks `t.has(key)` before falling back to clean English, and `t.has()` returns `true` even when the stored value is the `__MISSING__:` sentinel `scripts/i18n/sync-ui-keys.mjs` writes when mirroring keys across locales, so the sentinel rendered verbatim instead of the fallback. Disjoint key set from #6290 (`filterAll`/`filterActive`/`filterError`/`filterBanned`/`filterCreditsExhausted`). All 9 keys now carry real translations across the 15 affected locale files (`it`, `ja`, `ko`, `mr`, `ms`, `nl`, `no`, `phi`, `pl`, `pt`, `pt-BR`, `ro`, `ru`, `sk`, `sv`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-provider-visibility-filter-keys-6694.test.ts`.

+- **fix(cli):** the dashboard's Claude Code CLI card could report "Not detected"/"Not installed" even when Claude Code was genuinely installed and previously used ([#6701](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6701)) — `getCliRuntimeStatus()` (`src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts`) determined `installed` purely from binary resolution (known install paths + a `where`/`which` PATH search), with no fallback when that lookup fails for reasons unrelated to whether the CLI is actually installed (stale PATH inherited by a long-running/background process, the binary having moved, an install method not yet catalogued, etc.) — even though `~/.claude/settings.json` on disk proves the tool was installed and used before. Upstream 9router's equivalent route already has this exact fallback. A new `withSettingsFallback()` (`src/shared/services/cliInstallFallback.ts`) restores 9router parity: when the binary lookup's own reason is `"not_found"` (never for deliberate security rejections like unsafe/relative env overrides or symlink escapes) and the tool's settings file exists on disk, `installed` now reports `true`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6701-claude-detect-fallback.test.ts`.
+- **fix(cli):** per-agent AgentBridge DNS toggle was broken for 8 of the 9 supported agents, and a failed MITM startup step could orphan the spawned proxy child — `addDNSEntry`/`removeDNSEntry` (`src/mitm/dns/dnsConfig.ts`) always resolved the legacy Antigravity default hosts regardless of which agent's toggle was flipped, so enabling DNS for Cursor/Codex/Claude Code/etc. silently added only `daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com` while the DB recorded `dns_enabled=true` for the selected agent. Both functions now accept an optional `agentId` and resolve hosts via `ALL_TARGETS`; `POST /api/tools/agent-bridge/agents/[id]/dns` passes the route's `id` through and now returns 404 for an id that doesn't match a known target instead of silently falling back. Separately, `startMitmInternal()` (`src/mitm/manager.ts`) now wraps `generateCert()` (log + rethrow), the `provisionDnsEntries()` call, and the PID-file write in try/catch so a mid-startup failure can't orphan the already-spawned MITM child process. On Windows, `addDNSEntries`/`removeDNSEntries` also batch every missing/present entry into a single elevated PowerShell invocation instead of one UAC prompt per host line. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dns-config-generic.test.ts` (agent-specific resolution + batching), `tests/unit/agent-bridge-dns-route-validation.test.ts` (404 for unknown agent id). ([#6338](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6338) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **fix(guardrails):** Vision Bridge's individual-model auto-reroute (route an image-bearing request straight to a vision-capable model instead of describe-then-forward) could bypass a policy-restricted API key's model allowlist/budget ([#6640](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6640)) — `VisionBridgeGuardrail.preCall()` (`src/lib/guardrails/visionBridge.ts`) swaps `body.model` to the best available vision-capable model, but that swap happens in the guardrail pipeline AFTER `chat.ts` already called `enforceApiKeyPolicy()` against the ORIGINAL model, so a key scoped to a narrow `allowedModels` list could still execute against an unvetted (and possibly costlier) vision model the reroute picked. `chat.ts` now re-validates any guardrail-driven model change against the same per-key allowlist (`isModelAllowedForKey`) before honoring it, falling back to the original already-approved model when the reroute target is not allowed. The reroute path also now honors an explicit `settings.visionBridgeModel` operator override (previously ignored, unlike the combo/describe path a few lines below it, which already respects it via `getVisionBridgeConfig`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/guardrails/visionBridge.test.ts` (22 tests). (thanks @herjarsa)
+- **fix(auth):** an API key restricted via `allowedModels`/`allowedCombos` could bypass that restriction entirely over the Codex Responses-over-WebSocket bridge ([#6564](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6564)) — `prepare()` in `src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts` authenticated the WS bridge's API key (`authenticate()`/`authorizeWebSocketHandshake()`) and honored `allowedConnections`, but never called `enforceApiKeyPolicy()`, the same model/combo policy gate the HTTP `/v1/responses` path enforces via `handleChat()` — so a key scoped to e.g. `combo/model-1.0` could still reach a direct Codex model like `gpt-5.5` through this transport, as long as an eligible Codex OAuth connection existed. The bridge's WS auth token arrives via query params (`api_key`/`token`/`access_token`), not a normal `Authorization` header, so a new `enforceCodexWsApiKeyPolicy()` builds an equivalent `Request` carrying an explicit `Authorization: Bearer <apiKey>` header and calls `enforceApiKeyPolicy()` against the CLIENT-requested model, before any Codex-specific model remapping or credential selection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-ws-policy-enforcement-6564.test.ts` (a model-restricted key is rejected 403 before reaching credential selection; a combo-restricted key is rejected 403 requesting a disallowed combo; a key that DOES allow the requested model still proceeds past policy). (thanks @Squawk7777 for the report and an independent fix via #6565)
+- **fix(security):** loopback-gate `/api/middleware/*` so a leaked JWT over a tunnel can't install or trigger a middleware hook — middleware hooks compile + run arbitrary JS via `new vm.Script` on the request hot path (`src/lib/middleware/registry.ts`), the same RCE class as the already-gated `/api/plugins/*`; `/api/middleware/` is now in `LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` so loopback enforcement runs unconditionally before any auth check (Hard Rules #15 + #17). Regression guard: `tests/unit/route-guard-middleware-local-only.test.ts`. ([#6541](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6541)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(startup):** AgentBridge's MITM server no longer fails to start with `ROUTER_API_KEY is required` on a normal install ([#6403](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6403)) — `POST /api/tools/agent-bridge/server` resolved the spawned MITM child's router key from only an explicit `apiKey` body field (never sent by the AgentBridge UI — the schema has no such field) and the `ROUTER_API_KEY` env var (unset by default), so `startMitm()` always received `""` and the child hard-exited, even though OmniRoute already had a usable API key in its own DB. A new `resolveRouterApiKey()` now falls back to `pickApiKeyForInternalUse()` (the same DB-backed selector the combo-health-check / cloud-sync internal probes use), resolving in order: explicit key → `ROUTER_API_KEY` env → an existing DB key. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentbridge-mitm-router-key-6403.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** deploying a Cloudflare relay Worker from Dashboard → System → Proxy pool → Cloudflare relay failed immediately with `Cloudflare Worker upload failed: Content-Type must be one of: application/javascript, text/javascript, multipart/form-data`, even with a valid token/account ([#6416](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6416)) — the Worker-script upload built a native `FormData` and let `fetch` derive the multipart Content-Type automatically, but in production `globalThis.fetch` is patched with `node_modules/undici`'s own fetch (`open-sse/utils/proxyFetch.ts`), whose `FormData`/`Request` classes differ from the runtime's global `FormData` (same cross-realm class mismatch already fixed once for image edits in #3273); passing a native `FormData` instance through undici's patched fetch made it serialize the body as the literal string `"[object FormData]"` with `Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8`, which Cloudflare rejects outright. `buildCloudflareWorkerUploadRequest()` (`src/lib/proxyRelay/cloudflareWorkerScript.ts`) now builds the multipart body as a raw `Buffer` with an explicit boundary and `Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=…` header, accepted verbatim by any fetch implementation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloudflare-worker-upload-content-type-6416.test.ts` + updated `tests/unit/relay-deploy-5128.test.ts`.
+- **fix(security):** SSRF-guard the provider-validation probes so they can no longer be used as an open relay to cloud-metadata endpoints — `directHttpsRequest()` (web-cookie / NVIDIA / Z.AI validation, all with a caller-controllable `baseUrl`) ran with `guard:"none"` + `allowRedirect:true`; it now applies `getProviderValidationGuard()` (default `block-metadata`: LAN/localhost allowed, `169.254.169.254`/link-local IMDS rejected, opt-out via `OMNIROUTE_ALLOW_PRIVATE_PROVIDER_URLS`) and `allowRedirect:false` so a provider can't 3xx-redirect the probe to metadata past the initial-URL guard. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-validation-ssrf-guard.test.ts`. ([#6542](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6542)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(startup):** AgentBridge's MITM proxy served a mismatched cert for 3 of the 4 antigravity/cloudcode-pa hosts it terminates TLS for, breaking interception ([#6494](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6494)) — `src/mitm/server.cjs`'s `TARGET_HOSTS` decrypts all 4 hosts locally (`daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`, `cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`, `daily-cloudcode-pa.sandbox.googleapis.com`, `autopush-cloudcode-pa.sandbox.googleapis.com`), but `src/mitm/cert/generate.ts`'s self-signed cert only carried a SAN entry for the first host — a request to any of the other 3 got served a cert whose CN/SAN didn't match (confirmed via `curl -k https://cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com/` showing `CN=daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`). `generateCert()` now sources its host list from `ANTIGRAVITY_TARGET.hosts` (`src/mitm/targets/antigravity.ts`, the single authoritative registry already kept in lock-step with `server.cjs`/`dnsConfig.ts`/`mitmToolHosts.ts` by their own drift tests) and emits a SAN entry for all 4 hosts instead of hard-coding a second, incomplete copy. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentbridge-antigravity-cert-hosts-6494.test.ts` (asserts the host list covers all 4 hosts and that the real generated cert's SAN includes each one).
+- **fix(resilience):** a `priority` combo never fell back when a target masked credit/quota exhaustion behind an HTTP 200 ([#6427](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6427)) — `validateResponseQuality()` (`open-sse/services/combo/validateQuality.ts`) only inspected the response body's top-level `error` field when `choices` was ALSO missing/empty (the narrower #3424 empty-completion case); a masked 200 that echoed a non-empty stub `choices` alongside a structured error object, or a known exhaustion phrase (e.g. "insufficient credits", "quota exceeded") in the error envelope, slipped through as "valid" and the combo kept returning the dead target's response forever instead of failing over. The quality check now inspects the error envelope — a top-level OpenAI-shape `error` object, or a bounded, case-insensitive exhaustion-phrase match against `error.message`/`error.code`/`error.type`/top-level `message`/`detail` — unconditionally, before any shape-specific branch, and regardless of whether `choices`/`output` also look structurally present. The check never inspects `choices[].message.content`, so a legitimate completion that merely mentions "quota" or "credits" in assistant prose is not misclassified. Regression guard: `tests/unit/masked-200-exhaustion-fallback-6427.test.ts`.
+- **fix(security):** fail-closed CORS for the cookie/session-authed cloud-agent management routes — `getCloudAgentCorsHeaders()` reflected any caller's `Origin` and paired it with `Allow-Credentials: true` (a CSRF/exfil hole); it now defers to the central allowlist (`resolveAllowedOrigin`), echoes only an allowlisted origin with `Vary: Origin`, and emits `Allow-Credentials` only for an explicitly allowlisted origin — never for a `CORS_ALLOW_ALL` wildcard echo. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloud-agent-cors-failclosed.test.ts`. ([#6543](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6543)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(compression):** adaptive-compression ladder ranked 6 real catalog engines (`ccr`, `ionizer`, `relevance`, `llmlingua`, `llm`, `read-lifecycle`) as if they didn't exist ([#6533](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6533)) — `ladder.ts`'s `AGGRESSIVENESS` and `REDUCTION_FACTOR` maps only covered the 7 engines wired into `DEFAULT_LADDER` (session-dedup/rtk/headroom/lite/caveman/aggressive/ultra); every other engine registered in `open-sse/services/compression/engines/index.ts` — including `ccr`/`llmlingua`, which the ladder doc comment already says are intentionally addable via `ladderOverride` — fell through to `aggressivenessOf()`'s `?? 0` default (same rank as `"off"`) and `expectedReductionFactor()`'s generic `?? 0.9` fallback, so `floor`-mode escalation could not rank or escalate past them once added to a custom ladder. Both maps now carry entries for all 6 missing real engines, rescaled ×10 (`off:0` … `ultra:70`) and placed by each engine's documented `stackPriority` (`ionizer` between `rtk`/`headroom`, `relevance` before `caveman`, `llmlingua`/`llm` between `aggressive` and `ultra`, etc.); `mcpAccessibility` — named in the report — is not a registered `CompressionEngine` (it's a separate MCP tool-response truncation mechanism) and was correctly left out. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ladder-engine-maps-6533.test.ts` (asserts every id from `listCompressionEngines()` ranks above `"off"` with a non-default reduction factor). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** tool-call arguments could render as `[object Object]` sequences instead of the real JSON through the `/anthropic` (Anthropic-shape `/messages`) routing path ([#6459](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6459)) — `appendToolCallArgumentDelta()` (`open-sse/utils/toolCallArguments.ts`), the shared accumulator the streaming `openai-to-claude` response translator, `openai-responses` translator, and `responsesTransformer` all call to build up a tool call's `arguments`/`input_json_delta` buffer, treated any non-string `incoming` fragment as an empty string. Some upstreams deliver the full `tool_calls[].function.arguments` value as an already-parsed JSON object/array instead of the OpenAI-contracted JSON-encoded string; the old code silently discarded that fragment, leaving `tool_use.input` empty, and left downstream buffers open to a plain string coercion of the object (`[object Object]`) once client-side concatenation kicked in. `appendToolCallArgumentDelta()` now `JSON.stringify()`s a non-string, non-null object/array fragment into a valid JSON fragment instead of dropping it, so the assembled `partial_json` always parses back into the original structured value. Regression guard: `tests/unit/anthropic-toolcall-args-6459.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(providers):** `fusion` combo returned the opaque `"All fusion panel models failed"` 503 even when only a minority of panel members were actually cooling down / rate-limited, and a user-supplied `fusionTuning.minPanel=1` was silently overridden ([#6454](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6454)) — `handleFusionChat()` hard-clamped the quorum floor via `Math.min(Math.max(2, cfg.minPanel), panel.length)`, so an operator-configured `minPanel=1` never took effect: `collectPanel()`'s straggler-grace timer only starts once `ok >= minPanel`, and with the floor forced to 2 a single fast success plus N slow-failing stragglers never reached quorum, so the panel sat waiting instead of degrading to the survivor. Per-member failure reasons (`straggler_dropped`/`timeout`/`threw`/`status_XXX`/`empty_content`/`unparseable`) were also logged server-side but never surfaced in the 503 body, leaving operators unable to tell a rate-limit fan-fail from a broader outage. Fixed by honoring `Math.max(1, cfg.minPanel)` and threading a `failures: Array<{ model, reason }>` collector into the 503 message (`model=reason` per entry) — production fix already merged via #6521; this entry backfills the missing CHANGELOG bullet and adds an 11-member, `fusion-free`-scale regression test matching the original repro shape (a cooling minority must not sink a healthy majority; a genuinely all-failed panel still returns the documented 503). Regression guard: `tests/unit/services/fusion-min-panel-and-failure-detail.test.ts` + `tests/unit/fusion-partial-panel-failure-6454.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(providers):** `fusion` combo strategy silently returned a panel member's raw answer instead of the configured `config.judgeModel` synthesis ([#6455](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6455)) — `handleFusionChat()`'s single-survivor "degrade gracefully" path (added for #6454) returned the lone panel answer directly whenever only one panelist succeeded, regardless of whether an explicit `judgeModel` was configured; with the default `minPanel: 2` and a 2-model panel, any single flaky/rate-limited panelist forced this path on every request, so the configured judge (e.g. `auto/claude-opus`) was never invoked and the client-visible `.model` reflected whichever panelist happened to survive. The judge is now still invoked to synthesize a lone surviving answer whenever `judgeModel` is explicitly configured; the cheap direct-answer shortcut is kept only for the implicit case (no `judgeModel` set, where the "judge" is just `panel[0]`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/fusion-judge-model-6455.test.ts` + updated `tests/unit/combo-fusion-strategy.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(combo):** sanitized diagnostic trace on an auto-combo terminal failure — instead of an opaque 503, a terminal combo failure now returns a whitelist-projected trace (candidate pool size, attempted count, excluded provider/reason codes, attempt order, and a terminal-reason code) via the new `errorResponseWithComboDiagnostics()`/`sanitizeComboDiagnostics()` in `open-sse/utils/error.ts` — provider/model ids and enumerated reason codes only, never keys/tokens/bodies, length- and count-capped. A reasoning-budget-exhausted panel now returns an actionable "increase max_tokens" message rather than a blind retry-limit 503. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-diagnostics-trace.test.ts`. ([#6545](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6545)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** image/diffusion models discovered from an upstream catalog (e.g. HuggingFace's live `/v1/models`) are no longer advertised as chat models ([#6457](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6457)) — the chat catalog builder defaulted synced models with no modality info to `endpoints: ["chat"]`, so `huggingface/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0` showed up in the chat `/v1/models` listing and returned `400 "not a chat model"` when called. `catalog.ts` now skips any synced model already registered as an image model for that provider (via the new `isRegisteredImageModel()`), leaving `getAllImageModels()` to list it with the correct `type: "image"`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/image-model-not-in-chat-catalog-6457.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** combo session stickiness never released a pin on a credits-exhausted/banned/expired account, permanently defeating failover for that conversation ([#6692](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6692)) — `applySessionStickiness()` (`open-sse/services/combo/sessionStickiness.ts`) gated the sticky pin only on 5h/weekly usage-percentage headroom, which is orthogonal to account availability: a `credits_exhausted`/`banned`/`expired` connection, or one still inside its `rateLimitedUntil` cooldown, reports perfectly healthy headroom, so the pin was force-promoted back to the front of the target list on every subsequent turn. `clearStickyBinding()` also had zero call sites in `combo.ts`'s failure paths, so a quality-validation-rejected 200 (a masked daily-cap refusal) never released the pin either. The gate now also resolves the bound connection's terminal status/cooldown via a new injectable fetcher seam (fail-open on lookup errors, mirroring the existing saturation fetcher), and `combo.ts`'s two dispatchers (`handleComboChat`/`handleRoundRobinCombo`) release the pin immediately at both their connection-exhaustion classification point and their quality-validation-failure branch via the new `releaseStickyPinOnFailure()`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6692-sticky-terminal.test.ts` + extended `tests/unit/combo-session-stickiness.test.ts`.
+- **fix(test):** replace the bare `expect(true).toBe(true)` tautology in `playground-api-tab.test.tsx`'s SSE test and close the `check:test-masking` gap that let it slip through for a full cycle ([#6404](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6404)) — a prior pass (#6548) had already swapped the literal to `expect(sendBtn).toBeDefined()`, but that stayed just as vacuous: the test's fetch mock returned an empty `/v1/models` list, so `ApiTab`'s Send button is always `disabled` (`!selectedModel`) and the SSE branch never runs — the "SSE infra is verified" comment was never true. The test now mocks a real model, drives the model `<select>` to enable Send, asserts `sendBtn.disabled === false` before clicking, and asserts the streamed SSE delta (`"Hello!"`) actually reached the response editor. Root cause on the detector side: `check-test-masking.mjs`'s tautology subcheck only compares base-vs-HEAD counts within a PR's own diff (`headExtTaut > baseExtTaut`) and no-ops locally when `GITHUB_BASE_SHA`/`GITHUB_BASE_REF` are unset ("sem base ref — pulando") — so a tautology merged once, or checked with a bare local run, was invisible forever after. Added a new always-on, PR-independent absolute-floor scan (`scanBareTautologies` + `countBareTautologies`) over every git-tracked test file for the bare `expect(true).toBe(true)` / `assert.equal(1,1)` / `assert.strictEqual(1,1)` patterns specifically (deliberately excluding `assert.ok(true)`, which has ~15 pre-existing verified-legitimate try/catch-fallback uses repo-wide and stays governed by the lenient diff-only subcheck) — verified zero pre-existing hits repo-wide once this file was fixed, so the new floor is safe to enforce unconditionally. Regression guard: `tests/unit/check-test-masking.test.ts` (new `scanBareTautologies`/`countBareTautologies` cases) + `tests/unit/ui/playground-api-tab.test.tsx`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(oauth):** Codex/ChatGPT (and every other OAuth provider) connection stays stuck showing "Auth Failed" even after a genuinely successful token refresh ([#6352](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6352)) — `updateProviderCredentials()` (the shared `onPersist` callback for the manual "Refresh token" route, the reactive per-request refresh in `chat.ts`, and the Codex/Claude auth-file importers) correctly reused the stored `refresh_token`, persisted the new `access_token`, and replaced a rotated `refresh_token`, but never cleared the stale `testStatus`/`lastError*`/`errorCode` fields left over from a prior expired/invalid refresh or upstream 401/403 — only the separate background health-check sweep did that clearing. A successful refresh now resets `testStatus` to `"active"` and clears `lastError`, `lastErrorAt`, `lastErrorType`, `lastErrorSource`, and `errorCode` (an explicit `testStatus` from the caller still wins). Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-oauth-refresh-persist-6352.test.ts`.
+- **perf(health):** short-TTL (1s) cache for the frequently-polled `GET /api/monitoring/health` payload — rebuilding it every request (DB reads + status aggregation across 8 subsystems) was wasteful under rapid polling; the cache stays near-real-time and is invalidated immediately on `DELETE` (circuit-breaker reset) so a manual reset is reflected at once. Regression guard: `tests/integration/monitoring-health-cache.test.ts`. ([#6553](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6553)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(resilience):** `headroom` combo routing did not always select the Codex account with the most free quota ([#6379](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6379)) — `orderTargetsByHeadroom` (`open-sse/services/combo/quotaStrategies.ts`) already loaded the per-connection DB snapshot (with decrypted credentials) via `expandTargetsByQuotaAwareConnections`, but discarded it before calling `getSaturation`; for Codex, `fetchCodexSaturation` forwards straight to `fetchCodexQuota(connectionId, connection)`, which needs `connection` (or a prior `registerCodexConnection()` call, which never happens before headroom ranking runs) to read `accessToken` — so it returned `null` for every candidate, saturation failed open to `0` across the board, and ranking fell back to the original combo order regardless of actual free quota. `getSaturation()` and the headroom `SaturationFetcher` seam now accept and thread the loaded connection snapshot through to `fetchCodexQuota`. Kilo's dup flag vs #5903 was a false positive — that issue is about session-sticky reset-aware/least-used selection, not headroom's Codex saturation lookup. Regression guard: `tests/unit/headroom-codex-quota-snapshot-6379.test.ts`. (thanks @eidoog)
+- **fix(providers):** custom models a provider actually has are no longer dropped from the Free Provider Rankings when both **"Configured only"** and **"Available only"** filters are applied ([#6368](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6368)), follow-up to #6150 — `freeProviderRankings.ts::getProviderModels()` only ever walked the static `open-sse/config/providerRegistry.ts` catalog, so a user-added custom model (e.g. a Puter `claude-fable-5` model saved as "Claude Fable 5") never entered the candidate model list the ranking scores against, and could never survive the #6150 configured/available filters even when actually configured and available. It now additively merges the provider's custom models (`db/models.ts::getCustomModels`) into that candidate list via a new pure, de-duping `mergeProviderModels()` helper, before scoring/filtering runs — catalog free/paid filtering elsewhere is untouched. Regression guard: `tests/unit/free-provider-rankings-custom-models-6368.test.ts`. (thanks @shabeer)
+- **fix(playground):** accept a valid dashboard session for `GET/POST /api/playground/presets` under `REQUIRE_API_KEY=true` — the Playground page calls this route with a cookie/session and no API key, which previously 401'd the authenticated dashboard; `checkAuth()` now accepts a management/dashboard session (`requireManagementAuth`) as an alternative to an API key, while a presented API key must still be valid and the anonymous-allowed default is preserved. Regression guard: `tests/integration/presets-dashboard-auth.test.ts`. ([#6554](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6554)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** `cloudflare-ai` no longer silently drops image/non-text content parts ([#6390](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6390)) — `transformRequest()`'s `flattenContent()` (added for #2539 to satisfy the Workers AI `/ai/v1/chat/completions` plain-string `content` requirement) mapped any non-text OpenAI content part (e.g. `image_url`) to `""` and joined the rest, so a request carrying an image quietly went out as text-only with the attachment gone and no error surfaced. It now throws a clear error on the first non-text part instead of dropping it silently, which the existing top-level `chatCore.ts` catch already routes through `buildErrorBody()`/`sanitizeErrorMessage()` (same pattern as `buildUrl()`'s missing-Account-ID error). Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloudflare-ai-image-parts-6390.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** stop Antigravity connections from falsely reporting **all-accounts quota-exhausted** ([#6295](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6295)) — `genericQuotaFetcher.ts::percentUsedForQuota()` ignored the `fractionReported` flag and defaulted an unreported model's `remainingPercentage` to 0, which computed as 100% used; since `convertUsageToQuotaInfo()` takes the worst-case window across a connection, a single model with no reported fraction dragged the whole account into `limitReached` and `quotaPreflight` skipped it. `percentUsedForQuota()` now returns `null` (unknown, window ignored) whenever `fractionReported === false`, before falling back to `remainingPercentage`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/generic-quota-fetcher.test.ts`.
+- **fix(fusion):** the fusion judge no longer replays a panel member's answer via an idempotency-key collision — fusion's panel + judge sub-requests re-enter `chatCore` sharing the client's headers, so they derived the same `Idempotency-Key`/`x-request-id` and a panel answer saved under the key was replayed by the judge's check ~1ms later (inside the 5s window), returning a panel member's answer instead of the judge synthesis (observed live on `nexa/conversation-fusion`). `composeIdempotencyKey()` now namespaces the key by target provider/model + a digest of the request messages, so sub-requests can't collide while a genuine client retry (same key/model/body) still replays. Regression guard: `tests/unit/idempotency-fusion-collision.test.ts`. ([#6558](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6558)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** grok-cli (Grok Build) now strips `reasoning_effort`/`reasoning` before forwarding the request ([#6288](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6288)) — Claude Code sends `reasoning_effort` on every request (routing the Opus slot), which Grok Build's upstream chat-proxy endpoint rejects with a 400; `transformRequest()`'s existing `UNSUPPORTED` sampling-param strip list (#5273) never covered it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/grok-cli-reasoning-strip-6288.test.ts`.
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute serve` no longer hangs silently on a readiness timeout ([#6321](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6321)) — the child server's stdout was piped to `"ignore"` whenever `--log`/`OMNIROUTE_SHOW_LOG` wasn't set (the default), discarding any debug output, and `runWithSupervisor`'s `waitForServer(...).then((up) => { if (up) {...} })` had no `else` branch, so a boot that never became ready produced zero further output after "⏳ Starting server...". Stdout is now buffered alongside stderr (`ServerSupervisor.getRecentLog()`), and a timeout prints a clear diagnostic plus the buffered output instead of staying silent. Does not by itself explain why boot never completes on a given machine — see the issue for further reproduction. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli-serve-readiness-timeout-6321.test.ts`.
+- **fix(pricing):** Pricing Sync dashboard no longer stuck on "Next Sync: Never" / "Synced Models: 0" ([#6325](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6325)) — `pricingSync.ts` kept sync state (`lastSyncTime`, `lastSyncModelCount`) in module-level vars, but the background periodic sync (`instrumentation-node.ts`) and the dashboard status route (`/api/pricing/sync`) each import the module from separate Next.js standalone webpack chunks, giving each its own independent state; `getSyncStatus()` read the (empty) API-route instance's vars. Sync status is now additionally persisted to a new `pricing_sync_status` `key_value` namespace and `getSyncStatus()` falls back to it when the local module instance never ran a sync itself. Regression guard: `tests/unit/pricing-sync-cross-instance.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** stop spuriously 403-ing "Invalid request origin" on `POST /api/providers/health-autopilot/actions` for Docker/LAN dashboard requests ([#6277](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6277)) — the route carried a duplicate per-route `validateBrowserMutationOrigin` check re-added by the v3.8.42 release squash after PR #5278 centralized origin enforcement in the authz pipeline; the pipeline strips `PEER_IP_HEADER` before forwarding, so the stale duplicate check could no longer resolve the LAN "direct-local-host" candidate and rejected legitimate same-origin LAN mutations (e.g. clicking "remove cooldown" when accessed via a LAN IP). Removed the duplicate check — origin validation is now solely enforced by the centralized pipeline check, which already handles this case correctly. Regression guard: `tests/unit/serial/provider-health-autopilot.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** a bare, unrecognized `403` from a no-credential (`authType:"none"`) provider like mimocode or theoldllm no longer permanently bans the connection ([#6315](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6315), [#6345](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6345)) — `classifyProviderError()`'s 403 branch only exempted `apikey` providers from the terminal `FORBIDDEN` classification, so these free/stateless proxies (no real account/credential to revoke) fell through to `FORBIDDEN` on the first unmatched 403 and got `isActive:false, testStatus:"banned"` with no cooldown or retry. The exemption now also covers `authType:"none"` providers, returning `null` (recoverable) so the existing connection-cooldown/retry layer handles it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/errorClassifier-noauth-403-6315.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** the **Auggie (Augment CLI)** executor no longer fails on Windows with `spawn EINVAL` ([#6304](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6304)) — the global-npm install exposes `auggie` as a `.cmd` shim, which Node's `child_process.spawn` cannot launch on win32 without `shell: true`. Both spawn sites (streaming + the `auggie --version` test) now go through a shared `buildAuggieSpawnOptions()` that sets `shell: process.platform === "win32"`; the argv (built by `buildAuggieArgs()` with a registry-validated `model` and a trailing `--` end-of-options marker) is unchanged, so the argument-injection surface stays closed on non-Windows. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auggie-win32-spawn-6304.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** the dashboard **"Test model"** action is now a clean connection test ([#6240](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6240)) — `modelTestRunner` sent its probe request without an explicit compression override, so whenever the operator's global `compression.enabled` flag was on the test call inherited compression (and any Output-Styles system prompt), polluting the result. The internal test requests now send `X-OmniRoute-Compression: off`, and `chatCore` honors an explicit `off` header even when `compression.enabled` is globally true. Regression guards: `tests/unit/model-test-runner-compression-off-6240.test.ts`, `tests/integration/test-model-compression-off-6240.test.ts`.
+- **fix(startup):** an update/restart could crash the whole server at boot with `TypeError: Cannot create property 'message' on string 'Database closed'`, masking the real failure and 500-ing every request until manually restarted ([#6560](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6560), plausibly the root cause of #6594's post-upgrade 500) — `driverFactory.ts::preInitSqlJs()` cached its sql.js WASM adapter per file path in a `globalThis`-backed map for idempotency, but never checked whether the cached adapter had since been closed (e.g. by `gracefulShutdown`/`resetDbInstance` racing a reload); reusing that dead handle made the very next query throw sql.js's own bare string `"Database closed"` (not an `Error`) straight out of `instrumentation-node.ts`'s previously-unguarded `ensureDbInitialized()` call, and Next.js's internal `registerInstrumentation()` wrapper unconditionally does `err.message = ...` on whatever `register()` rejects with — assigning `.message` on a primitive string throws in strict mode, so the secondary `TypeError` is what actually crashed the process. Fixed in two parts: `preInitSqlJs()` now evicts a closed cached adapter and creates a fresh one instead of returning it; a new `ensureDbReadyForBoot()` wraps the DB-init call, normalizes any non-Error throw via `normalizeBootError()`, and retries once specifically for a transient "database closed" message (now succeeding against the fresh adapter) before re-throwing anything else as a real `Error`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/instrumentation-database-closed-6560.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/keys` no longer hangs 20–90+ seconds on a fresh install, even with valid auth ([#6570](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6570)) — `cloudEnabled` defaults to `true` in `src/lib/db/settings.ts::getSettings()` on any install with no persisted settings row (i.e. every fresh install), so the create-key handler's unconditional `await syncKeysToCloudIfEnabled()` always attempted a real outbound `fetch()` to `CLOUD_URL` via `syncToCloud()`; when that endpoint is unset/unreachable/slow, the HTTP response blocked until the request settled or timed out — unlike sibling routes (`POST /api/keys/:id/regenerate`, `GET /api/combos`), which never touch this side effect at all. `src/app/api/keys/route.ts` now dispatches `syncKeysToCloudIfEnabled()` fire-and-forget (`void`) instead of awaiting it; its internal try/catch already logs failures, so cloud sync still runs, it just no longer blocks the response. Regression guard: `tests/unit/api-keys-create-no-hang-6570.test.ts` (asserts the route resolves in well under 2s even when the Cloud-sync `fetch()` is stubbed to never settle) + updated `tests/integration/api-keys.test.ts` (the pre-existing "triggers cloud sync"/"still succeeds when cloud sync fails" tests, which previously hung indefinitely on this exact path, now await the fire-and-forget sync tick before asserting).
+- **fix(api):** editing any existing OpenAI Codex provider connection in the dashboard returned "Invalid request" and the edit could never be saved ([#6562](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6562)) — `createProviderConnection()` (`src/lib/db/providers.ts`) auto-increments a new connection's `priority` to `MAX(priority)+1` per provider with no upper bound, and OAuth-imported connections (Codex `codex-auth/import` / `import-bulk`, up to 50 accounts per call, callable repeatedly — the standard Codex bulk-account-rotation workflow) never pass through `createProviderSchema`'s Zod validation at all, so nothing ever capped that value; `EditConnectionModal`'s `handleSubmit` always resends the connection's current `priority` unchanged on every save, and `updateProviderConnectionSchema` capped `priority`/`globalPriority` at `max(100)` — a UI-only ceiling the create path never enforced — so the first edit of any connection whose priority had already grown past 100 (routine once a Codex account count exceeds 100) failed validation regardless of which field the user actually changed. Raised the ceiling to `max(100_000)` on both fields — still bounded (a genuinely out-of-range value is still rejected), just wide enough to accept priorities the app itself already produces. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-connection-edit-6562.test.ts` (a Codex OAuth connection whose priority already exceeds the old 100 cap now validates + persists on edit; a control payload with a still-genuinely-invalid priority is still rejected with "Invalid request").
+- **mimocode**: rotate accounts on MiMoCode's rate-limit-style 400s (body-classified) instead of failing on the first account; malformed 400s still fail fast with the real upstream error (#6648 — thanks @pizzav-xyz)
+- **fix(cli):** compression CLI REST fallback now reads/writes the canonical `defaultMode` field (surfaced as `strategy`) instead of a nonexistent `engine` key, and table output renders nested objects as JSON instead of `[object Object]` (#6571 — thanks @charleszolot)
+- **fix(providers):** web-cookie providers without a `providerRegistry.ts` entry (`lmarena`, `gemini-business`, `poe-web`, `venice-web`, `v0-vercel-web`) now report `unsupported: true` instead of silently "OK" ([#6309](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6309)) — `validateWebCookieProvider()` (`src/lib/providers/validation.ts`) previously required a registry entry and returned "Provider not found in registry" for these; a fallback to `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS[provider].website` was proposed, but live verification showed the `${website}/models` probe does not reliably signal session validity for these providers (redirects/SPA 200s regardless of cookie validity — e.g. lmarena's real API is `arena.ai`, not `lmarena.ai`; Poe's real endpoint is a GraphQL POST, not a REST `/models`), so it would report an expired or garbage cookie as valid. Until each provider has a verified, side-effect-free auth probe against its real API host, the fallback now returns `unsupported` (no network call) instead of a false positive. Regression guard: `tests/unit/web-cookie-validation-fallback.test.ts`. (thanks @oyi77)
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/middleware/hooks` and `PUT /api/middleware/hooks/[name]` no longer leak raw internal error messages in their 500 responses (#6645 — thanks @chirag127) — both catch blocks returned `error?.message` directly (Hard Rule #12), which could surface internal SQLite path fragments on a DB failure; both now route through `sanitizeErrorMessage()` from `open-sse/utils/error.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/middleware-hooks-error-sanitization.test.ts`.
+- **fix(docker):** compile better-sqlite3 for the server Docker image (Dokploy/self-hosted builds) via a direct `node-gyp rebuild` inside `node_modules/better-sqlite3`, instead of `npm rebuild better-sqlite3` ([#6700](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6700)) — the `builder` stage installs dependencies with `npm ci --ignore-scripts` (deliberate: closes the supply-chain surface where a transitive dep's install script runs arbitrary code) and re-enables the native build for the one package that needs it; `npm rebuild <pkg>` re-runs that indirectly through the package's own install script, which under npm 11 depends on npm's script-allowlist machinery correctly re-enabling it — some self-hosted build environments (e.g. Dokploy) hit a broken/mismatched native binding through that indirection. Invoking `node-gyp rebuild` directly bypasses npm's script-running layer entirely and is deterministic regardless of npm version. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dockerfile-better-sqlite3-node-gyp-6700.test.ts`. (thanks @nowhats-br)
+- **fix(providers):** the Cloudflare relay Worker deploy fix in #6416/#6618 still failed uploads in practice — it changed the multipart Content-Type but kept the emitted worker source as an ES module (`export default { fetch(...) }`) with `main_module` metadata; Cloudflare's Workers upload API parses a plain `application/javascript` script part as Service Worker syntax regardless of the `main_module` metadata field, and `main_module` requires the script to actually be an ES module (top-level `export`), so the mismatch still rejected the upload ([#6496](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6496)). `buildCloudflareWorkerScript()` (`src/lib/proxyRelay/cloudflareWorkerScript.ts`) now emits Service Worker syntax (`addEventListener("fetch", ...)`, no top-level `export`) and the upload metadata uses `body_part` instead of `main_module`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/relay-deploy-5128.test.ts` (asserts the emitted script has no `export default`, registers a `fetch` listener, and the upload metadata carries `body_part`/omits `main_module`; also proves the inlined `isPrivateHostname()` SSRF guard still rejects bracketed IPv6 loopback/ULA hosts like `[::1]`/`[fd00::1]` after the script-body rewrite). (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **fix(providers):** ChatGPT Web (`chatgpt-web`) responses rendered raw ChatGPT UI citation markup — private-use marker tokens (e.g. `citeturn0search0`) and `url…` inline-link markers — instead of real Markdown links, since these only ever get resolved client-side by chatgpt.com's own JS using `message.metadata.content_references` ([#6635](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6635)) — `cleanChatGptText()` now resolves `content_references` (grouped webpages, footnote sources, inline `webpage`/`url` mentions) into `[label](url)` Markdown links for both the streaming and non-streaming response builders, and for the GPT-5.5 Pro `stream_handoff` polled-answer path, falling back to stripping any marker that has no resolvable source instead of leaking the raw private-use bytes. The citation parsing/rendering logic was extracted into a new pure sibling module (`open-sse/executors/chatgpt-web/citations.ts`) to keep the executor under the frozen file-size cap. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chatgpt-web-citations.test.ts` (non-streaming citation resolution, streaming marker buffering across split SSE chunks, and the Pro-handoff polled-answer path). (thanks @Thinkscape)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the live-dashboard WebSocket descriptor handshake (`GET /api/v1/ws?handshake=1`) and the lightweight `GET /api/health/ping` liveness probe both 401'd for unauthenticated callers, even though both are metadata-only reads intended to be public ([#6335](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6335)) — `clientApiPolicy` required a bearer/dashboard-session before the WS route handler could even return its own `wsAuth`/protocol descriptor, and `/api/health/ping` was never added to `PUBLIC_READONLY_API_ROUTE_PREFIXES` despite its own docstring documenting it as "No auth required." `clientApiPolicy.evaluate()` now allows an anonymous `{kind:"anonymous", id:"ws-handshake"}` subject for GET/HEAD/OPTIONS on `/api/v1/ws?handshake=1` (the route handler still performs its own real wsAuth/dashboard/API-key decision before opening the socket), and `/api/health/ping` is now in `PUBLIC_READONLY_API_ROUTE_PREFIXES`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/authz/client-api-policy.test.ts` (WS handshake allowed, including relative request URLs), `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`, and `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts` (`/api/health/ping` classified `PUBLIC`). (thanks @JxnLexn)
+- fix(providers): wire the Devin cloud-agent provider into the generic provider-page validator and static model catalog, matching the existing `jules` cloud-agent pattern (#6142)

+- **fix(providers):** modernize the `lmarena` provider for the Arena.ai rebrand — route chat through `arena.ai` create-evaluation with Chrome TLS impersonation, seed a static Direct-chat Text/Search + Image catalog, and keep the `lmarena`/`lma` wire id for back-compat ([#6280](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6280)) — thanks @backryun
+- **fix(providers):** web-provider model discovery updated — qwen-web uses the slash-terminated models endpoint (avoiding a blocked 307 redirect), and kimi-web matches the current request shape (POST with bearer + `kimi-auth` cookie replay) with its catalog refreshed to the current non-agent models (#6308 — thanks @janeza2).

+- **fix(routing):** the `auto` combo's no-auth candidate pool now honors a disabled provider connection's own `isActive=false` (the toggle on the main Providers grid card), not just the separate global `blockedProviders` setting — disabling opencode/mimocode/etc. via the grid toggle no longer leaves it in rotation ([#6557](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6557)).
+- **fix(sse):** server-tool literal names (e.g. `web_search`) are preserved in message history and `tool_choice` instead of being namespaced/rewritten, so follow-up turns referencing those tools keep working (#6586 — thanks @MikeTuev).

+- **fix(antigravity):** surface aborted/malformed Gemini tool calls (e.g. `MALFORMED_FUNCTION_CALL`) as an explicit non-`end_turn` finish reason instead of a silent clean completion. (thanks @anhdiepmmk)
+- **fix(routing):** the reasoning-token headroom buffer clamps to the model's explicit output cap instead of inflating past it, and `getExplicitModelOutputCap` falls through to the registry/spec cap when a synced capability row exists without a numeric `limit_output` ([#6714](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6714)) — thanks @xz-dev
+- **fix(api):** `omniroute health` (and `health components`/`health watch`) returned `Error: HTTP 404` ([#6677](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6677)) — `bin/cli/commands/health.mjs` called `apiFetch("/api/health", ...)`, a route that was moved to `GET /api/monitoring/health` (`src/app/api/monitoring/health/route.ts`) without updating the CLI; `src/app/api/health/` on disk only has `degradation/route.ts` and `ping/route.ts`, no top-level handler. `runHealthCommand()`/`runHealthComponentsCommand()` now call `/api/monitoring/health` and read its actual payload shape (`activeConnections`, `circuitBreakers: {open, halfOpen, closed}`, `memoryUsage`) instead of the old, nonexistent `requests`/`breakers`/`cache`/`memory` fields. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli-health-monitoring-route.test.ts`.
+- **fix(startup):** webpack build broke on case-insensitive filesystems (macOS APFS default, Windows) with a casing-collision warning plus "not exported" errors in `StudioConfigPane.tsx`/`ChatTab.tsx` (#6584) — `src/app/(dashboard)/dashboard/playground/components/ReasoningControls.tsx` (the component) and `reasoningControls.ts` (the utils module) shared the same lower-cased stem in the same directory, and two importers used the extensionless form `from "./reasoningControls"`, the exact resolution path that becomes ambiguous once casing is folded. Renamed the utils module to `reasoningControlUtils.ts` (no collision) and updated the 3 import sites. Regression guard: `tests/unit/case-collision-6584.test.ts` (scans `src/`/`open-sse/` for any same-directory, case-only filename collision). (#6584)
+- **fix(build):** Turbopack production build emitted an "Overly broad patterns can lead to build performance issues" warning per entry point importing `src/lib/agentSkills/generator.ts` (603 warnings reported on v3.8.46, up from 379 on v3.8.45) ([#6582](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6582)) — `generator.ts`'s `outputBase` is built as `path.isAbsolute(outputDir) ? outputDir : path.join(process.cwd(), outputDir)`, where `outputDir` is a runtime function parameter, not a compile-time literal, so Turbopack's build-time file-tracing analyzer can't statically narrow the several dynamic `readdirSync`/`rmSync`/`readFileSync`/`writeFileSync` call sites a few lines below and falls back to a project-wide glob; #6366's commit message claimed to "anchor the base path with a literal" but the shipped code never did. Since this fs access is legitimate and bounded (`skills/<id>/SKILL.md`, ~48 known IDs), `next.config.mjs`'s `turbopack.ignoreIssue` (Next.js 16.2+) now suppresses this specific, known-benign diagnostic, mirroring the existing `webpack.ignoreWarnings`/`isNextIntlExtractorDynamicImportWarning` precedent already in the same file for the webpack path. Regression guard: `tests/unit/next-config.test.ts` (asserts the `turbopack.ignoreIssue` rule shape targeting `src/lib/agentSkills/**`).
+- **fix(providers):** Codex Desktop requests to `gpt-5.3-codex-spark` failed with `[400]: Tool 'image_generation' is not supported with gpt-5.3-codex-spark`, even on paid-plan accounts ([#6651](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6651)) — `CodexExecutor.transformRequest` (`open-sse/executors/codex.ts`) only dropped the Codex Desktop-injected `image_generation` hosted tool when `isCodexFreePlan()` matched the account's plan, with no awareness that Spark-scope Codex models reject `image_generation` upstream regardless of plan. `dropImageGeneration` now also drops it when `getCodexModelScope(model) === "spark"` (the existing Spark classifier from `open-sse/config/codexQuotaScopes.ts`), independent of account plan. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-spark-image-generation.test.ts` (thanks @alltomatos for independently catching and fixing it via #6819).
+- **fix(providers):** the provider quota card's weekly/session bars re-sorted by remaining percentage instead of staying in a fixed, deterministic order ([#6687](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6687)) — `QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`'s `sortQuotasByRemaining()` (added in #5977) was applied unconditionally via `useMemo(() => sortQuotasByRemaining(quotas), [quotas])`, undoing the deterministic `CODEX_QUOTA_ORDER`/`GLM_QUOTA_ORDER` window order `quotaParsing.ts`'s `sortCodexOrder()`/`sortGlmOrder()` (added in #6336) already established for Codex and the GLM family — since #6336 never touched `QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`, the two orderings never composed, so e.g. a Codex `session` window with less headroom than `weekly` rendered after it instead of staying first. A new `hasFixedQuotaOrder()` (`quotaParsing.ts`) and `resolveQuotaDisplayOrder()` (`QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`) now skip the remaining-% re-sort for providers with a fixed window order, threading `providerId` from `QuotaCard.tsx` through to the display layer; every other provider still gets the remaining-% sort. Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-card-expanded-fixed-order-6687.test.ts`.
+- **fix(i18n):** pt-BR was missing 194 UI keys present in `en.json` — a real, silent data-sync gap, not covered by any duplicate/mislabeled #6694 (that issue's 9 `providers.*` keys are disjoint, present-but-untranslated sentinels caused by a separate `providerText()` fallback bug) ([#6695](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6695)) — `scripts/i18n/sync-ui-keys.mjs` (which mirrors newly-added `en.json` keys into every locale) wasn't re-run after recent `en.json` additions, and the CI `i18n:check-ui-coverage` gate only fails a locale below an 80% threshold, so pt-BR stayed green at 93.8% coverage despite the gap. Backfilled all 194 missing keys into `src/i18n/messages/pt-BR.json` (translated to Brazilian Portuguese, no leftover `__MISSING__` markers) via `npm run i18n:sync-ui -- --locale=pt-BR` + manual translation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-pt-br.test.ts` (new case asserting full `en.json`→`pt-BR.json` key parity, so a future drift fails a fast unit test instead of silently degrading the coverage percentage).
+- **fix(startup):** `omniroute --mcp` crashed at Node ESM link time with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND` for `ioredis` on installs where the published MCP bundle didn't happen to have `ioredis` rescued from a parent `node_modules` ([#6559](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6559)) — `src/shared/utils/rateLimiter.ts` had a top-level static `import Redis from "ioredis"`; that module is only ever reached via a lazy `await import(...)` several call-sites deep in the MCP tool chain, but esbuild's `--packages=external` bundling of the MCP server (`scripts/build/prepublish.ts` Step 8.5) still hoisted rateLimiter.ts's own static import into a real top-level ESM import in the compiled `dist/open-sse/mcp-server/server.js`, forcing Node to resolve `ioredis` at module-link time — before any `--mcp` startup code runs — and `ioredis` is not guaranteed to ship in the MCP-only bundle's `node_modules`. `getRedisClient()` now lazily imports `ioredis` on first use (matching the established soft-dependency pattern in `src/lib/quota/redisQuotaStore.ts`) while still throwing synchronously when Redis isn't configured. Regression guard: `tests/unit/build/mcp-bundle-no-eager-ioredis.test.ts` (bundles the real MCP server entrypoint with the exact publish-time esbuild flags and asserts no top-level static `ioredis` import remains, while the pre-existing lazy `await import("ioredis")` in `redisQuotaStore.ts` stays intact).
+- **fix(providers):** Kiro sent the adaptive-thinking `additionalModelRequestFields` envelope for `claude-sonnet-4.5`/`claude-haiku-4.5`, which Kiro/CodeWhisperer rejects upstream with a raw `[400]: additionalModelRequestFields is not supported for this model` ([#6576](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6576)) — `buildKiroPayload()` (`open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-kiro.ts`) gated the field on the generic Anthropic-API `supportsReasoning()` capability flag, which is `true` for both models on Anthropic's direct API but does not reflect what Kiro's CodeWhisperer backend actually accepts; only `claude-sonnet-5` is confirmed adaptive-thinking-capable there. A new Kiro-specific allowlist (`supportsKiroAdaptiveThinking()` in `open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-kiro/adaptiveThinking.ts`) now gates the envelope instead. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6576-kiro-thinking-unsupported-model.test.ts`.
+- **fix(translator):** Cursor's local **Subagent** tool call is no longer rejected with `cloud_base_branch may only be specified when environment equals cloud` — the Responses→Chat tool-arg cleanup (`stripEmptyOptionalToolArgs`) was scoped to Claude Code's `Read` tool only, so Cursor's `Subagent` tool passed through with the cloud-only `cloud_base_branch: ""` (Cursor treats an empty string as "specified" and rejects the call before starting the local subagent). The cleanup now covers an allowlist of `Read` + `Subagent`; arbitrary tools are still left untouched (empty strings/arrays can be valid payloads for them). Regression guard: `tests/unit/openai-responses-subagent-strip-2446.test.ts`. (thanks @like3213934360-lab)
+- **fix(translator):** GLM 5.2 (and other OpenAI-compatible upstreams that stream a tool call's `id` and `function.name` in **separate** SSE chunks) no longer produce an empty tool name / `No such tool available:` error through the Claude `/messages` path — the `openai-to-claude` streaming translator emitted `content_block_start` immediately on the id-only chunk with an empty `name`, and the Claude SSE protocol cannot patch a block after it is emitted, so the later name-only chunk was silently dropped. It now **defers** `content_block_start` until the tool name arrives (falling back to starting the block when arguments arrive first), so the emitted `tool_use` always carries the real name. Regression guard: `tests/unit/openai-to-claude-glm-split-tool-name-2077.test.ts`. (thanks @itiwant)
+- **fix(resilience):** OmniRoute didn't respect an exhausted Ollama Cloud (or any other apikey-category provider) quota — it retried the account seconds later instead of waiting out the real reset window ([#6638](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6638)) — `shouldPreserveQuotaSignalsFor429()`/`checkFallbackError()` (`open-sse/services/accountFallback.ts`) only applied body-text quota classification (daily/monthly/weekly quota-exhausted detection) to OAuth-category providers; apikey-category 429s (Ollama Cloud, OpenAI, etc.) always fell through to the generic short rate-limit cooldown regardless of what the error body said, and `parseRetryFromErrorText()` also had no support for day-granularity reset hints ("Your quota will reset in 3 days.") — only Xh/Ym/Zs combos. An explicit quota-exhausted signal in the body (`looksLikeQuotaExhausted()`) now overrides the apikey-category default via the new `shouldPreserveQuotaSignals()` (`open-sse/services/quotaResetParsing.ts`), and `parseDayGranularityResetMs()` parses whole-day reset countdowns so the real multi-day window is honored instead of a few seconds of backoff. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6638-ollama-quota.test.ts` + 2 aligned `tests/unit/account-fallback-service.test.ts` cases that previously asserted the buggy rate_limit_exceeded/undefined-dailyQuotaExhausted behavior for apikey-provider quota text.
+- **fix(resilience):** a combo step "pinned" to one fingerprint account (mimocode/mcode/opencode multi-account providers) never actually resolved to that account, so it couldn't fail over when the pinned account was depleted ([#6696](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6696), relates #6612) — the combo builder UI encodes an account pin as a composite connectionId (`${rowId}|fp|${fingerprint}`, `src/lib/combos/builderOptions.ts`), but `expandTargetsByFingerprints()` (`open-sse/services/combo/fingerprintExpansion.ts`) looked that composite string up directly in `connectionById` (keyed by real DB row ids), got `undefined`, and passed the target through unchanged, still carrying the bogus composite id — so downstream credential resolution could never match it either. `expandTargetsByFingerprints()` now splits the `|fp|` composite id back into the real connection row id + the pinned fingerprint (new `splitFingerprintPin()` helper) before any lookup, resolving the target to the real connectionId (with the pinned fingerprint carried on the new `pinnedFingerprint` field) instead of the inert composite string. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-fingerprint-pin-6696.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** Responses passthrough emitted event-only SSE frames (no `data:` line) for every dropped commentary event, breaking the OpenAI Python SDK's `sse.json()` parser ([#6561](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6561)), follow-up to #6199/#6232 — the commentary-drop `continue;` branches in `open-sse/utils/stream.ts` skipped the `data:` line for a dropped commentary event but never cleared the already-buffered `event:` line for that same frame, so the next blank line flushed the stale `event:` line alone. Both drop sites now call `clearPendingPassthroughEvent()` before `continue`, discarding the buffered prefix along with the dropped payload; the commentary-drop decision itself was extracted into a new `open-sse/utils/responsesCommentaryDrop.ts` so the fix does not grow the frozen `stream.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/responses-commentary-event-frame-6561.test.ts` (realistic `event:\ndata:\n\n` frames — the existing #6199 test only used bare `data:` lines and never exercised this path).
+- **fix(compression):** `/api/compression/preview`'s top-level `originalTokens`/`compressedTokens` diverged from `engineBreakdown[0]`'s counts for the same single-engine run (tiktoken outer counts vs the `JSON.stringify(...).length/4` estimate per engine), worst on small inputs. A new `reconcileSingleEngineTokens()` overwrites the single-engine breakdown entry with the outer, more accurate figures; multi-step pipeline breakdowns are left untouched ([#6488](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6488)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression/preview-outer-engine-token-reconcile-6488.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** account selection could pick an account already out of quota upstream on every credentialed route except `chat`/`codex` ([#6686](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6686)) — `getProviderCredentials()` (`src/sse/services/auth.ts`) only skips a connection when a *local cache* already flags it exhausted (`isQuotaExhaustedForRequest`/`src/domain/quotaCache.ts`); it never itself calls the registered upstream `QuotaFetcher`. Only `getProviderCredentialsWithQuotaPreflight()` performs that live upstream check, and it was wired into exactly 2 call sites (`src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, `src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts`) — every other credentialed route (`rerank`, `images/generations`, `images/edits`, `audio/transcriptions|speech|translations`, `videos/generations`, `music/generations`, `ocr`, `providers/[provider]/embeddings`, `providers/[provider]/images/generations`, `web/fetch`, `moderations`, `search`) called the plain, cache-only selector, so an account whose cache entry was never populated (e.g. its first request landed on one of these routes) could be selected even at 0% quota remaining. Those 14 call sites now go through `getProviderCredentialsWithQuotaPreflight()` instead, matching chat/codex coverage. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6686-quota-preflight-coverage.test.ts` (static check that none of the routes call the plain selector anymore + a behavioral check that the preflight-aware selector blocks a 100%-used account).
+- **fix(api):** `reasoning_content` (extended-thinking text) was silently dropped from `/v1/chat/completions` SSE on the `claude-web` and `v0-vercel-web` executors ([#6662](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6662)) — every chunk builder in both adapters hardcoded `delta: { content: ... }` with no reasoning path, unlike the established pattern already used by `default.ts`/`deepseek-web.ts`/`bedrock.ts` and the real-Anthropic-API `claude-to-openai.ts` translator (`thinking_delta` → `reasoning_content`). `v0-vercel-web.ts` now forwards an upstream `delta.reasoning_content` field (streaming and non-streaming) the same way `deepseek-web.ts` does. `claude-web.ts`'s `buildClaudeStreamingResponse` now maps a `content_block_start`(`type: "thinking"`)/`content_block_delta`(`delta.thinking`) pair onto `delta.reasoning_content`, and `claude-web/payload.ts`'s `transformToClaude()` no longer hardcodes `thinking_mode: "off"` — a new `wantsExtendedThinking()` derives it from the request's `reasoning_effort`/`reasoning.effort`/`thinking.type` signal, so extended thinking can actually be requested. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6662-repro.test.ts` (RED→GREEN for both adapters).
+- **fix(api):** the compression config PUT schema now accepts `enableRenderers` for the RTK engine instead of rejecting the documented option (#6703, #6757 — thanks @alltomatos, with an independent duplicate fix from @chirag127 via #6756).
+- **fix(api):** raised the provider `apiKey` length cap for cookie-based web providers, whose session-cookie credentials legitimately exceed the previous limit (#6715, #6759 — thanks @alltomatos).
+- fix(ci): publish electron-updater `latest*.yml` manifests in electron release assets so auto-update can find them ([#6766](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6766))
+- **fix(i18n): translate hardcoded Portuguese dashboard strings to English (#6761, #6768)** (#6769 — thanks @chirag127).
+- fix(providers): strip redundant node prefix when resolving custom OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible connections by raw connection id, preventing double-namespaced model ids from 400ing upstream (#6772)
+- fix(providers): scope nvidia NIM 404s to the single failing model instead of cooling down the whole connection (#6773)
+- **fix(codex):** bump the default Codex CLI client identity from `0.142.0` to `0.144.0` for compatibility with newer Codex-backed models ([#6780](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6780)) — thanks @quanturbo
+- **fix(ci):** the blocking "Impacted unit tests (TIA)" step false-redded any PR whose impact graph reached a dashboard component — it ran every selected test under `--import tsx/esm`, but `tests/unit/dashboard/**` requires the `--import tsx` CJS transform (ESM-only deep imports like `@lobehub/icons/es/*`), exactly as the canonical `test:unit:ci:shard` already does per segment. The impacted selection is now split by segment with matching loaders (closes #6787).
+- **fix(translator):** read PDF/video `file_data` attachments on the OpenAI→Gemini/Antigravity and OpenAI→Claude paths so multimodal documents (not just images) reach the upstream — PDFs map to `document`/`inlineData` and videos keep their `video/mp4` mime instead of being dropped (#6790 — thanks @Witroch4, with an independent report/fix from @samimozcan via #6762/#6753).
+- **fix(providers): ensure DeepSeek Web SSE emits [DONE] after FINISHED** (#6791 — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch).
+- **fix(api):** the compression config `PUT` schema (`stackedPipelineStepSchema`) now accepts every `ENGINE_CATALOG` id — the structural engines `session-dedup`/`ccr`/`headroom`/`relevance`/`llmlingua`/`omniglyph` and the `aggressive` `ultra` intensity — so a `GET`→`PUT` round-trip of a stacked pipeline no longer 400s on a valid engine the discriminated union had omitted (#6747 — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch).
+- **fix(cursor):** send the Agent CLI build id as `x-cursor-client-version` so Cursor upstream accepts requests from the current CLI build instead of a stale hardcoded version (#6795 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- fix(cli): waitForServer() no longer reports ready from a raw TCP accept alone — requires a fast HTTP rejection or a real health response, so the "OmniRoute is running!" banner no longer fires 30-60s before the server can actually answer requests (#6800)
+- fix(sse): de-flake timing-sensitive combo cooldown/breaker tests + add explicit MCP audit shutdown timeout (#6803)
+- **fix(codex): strip include from compact responses requests** (#6805 — thanks @yinaoxiong).
+- fix(dashboard): surface Claude extraUsage credits in quota card when quotas is empty (#6806)
+- **Request count by provider & date**: Dashboard → Analytics now shows a dedicated table of request counts grouped by provider and calendar date (plus token totals), for providers that bill per-request rather than per-token — sortable columns and a single-date filter. New `getProviderDailyUsageRows()` query (`src/lib/db/usageAnalytics.ts`) and its own `GET /api/usage/requests-by-provider-date` route (kept separate from the frozen `/api/usage/analytics` route). Regression guard: `tests/unit/db-provider-daily-usage-4009.test.ts`. (#4009 — thanks @tjengbudi)
+- **fix(resilience):** an Ollama Cloud (or any apikey-category provider) account that hit a weekly usage cap kept getting retried every few minutes instead of backing off ([#3709](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3709)) — the upstream 429 body ("you (\<account\>) have reached your weekly usage limit") was invisible to `checkFallbackError`'s existing subscription-quota-text classifier (Issue #2321) because that branch is gated by `shouldUseQuotaSignal`, which is oauth-only, so apikey providers like `ollama-cloud` fell through to the generic exponential backoff (~1s, capped at 2min) — one account took 285x429 in 48h. A new `isWeeklyUsageLimitText`/`buildWeeklyQuotaFallback` classifier (extracted, with the existing subscription-quota logic, into a new `open-sse/services/quotaTextCooldowns.ts` module so the frozen `accountFallback.ts` didn't have to grow) runs unconditionally and applies a 24h `QUOTA_EXHAUSTED` cooldown regardless of provider category. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ollama-cloud-weekly-quota-cooldown-3709.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** an explicit `thinking.budget_tokens: 0` is now honored in the OpenAI→Gemini transform (thinking disabled) instead of being treated as unset (#6813, #6821 — thanks @alltomatos).
+- **fix(bootstrap):** filter empty `process.env` values before spawning embedded services so a blank env var no longer crashes the Docker bootstrap in a restart loop (#6828 — thanks @AndrianBalanescu).
+- **fix(providers):** classify upstream `404` responses as `MODEL_NOT_FOUND` (model lockout) instead of a retryable provider error, stopping the retry storm when a single model is missing (#6829 — thanks @AndrianBalanescu).
+- fix(mcp): de-duplicate `TOTAL_MCP_TOOL_COUNT` by tool name instead of double-counting collections (#6854)
+- **fix(usage):** xAI's exact provider-reported `cost_in_usd_ticks` no longer silently accepts `null`/`""`/negative values as a valid `$0` exact cost — `extractUsageFromResponse()` (`open-sse/handlers/usageExtractor.ts`) and `normalizeUsage()` (`open-sse/utils/usageTracking.ts`) now require `typeof value === "number" && Number.isFinite(value) && value >= 0` instead of coercing with `Number(x)`, so a malformed exact cost correctly falls back to the token-based estimate instead of masking it with a bogus `$0`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/xai-exact-cost-2453.test.ts` (rejects null/empty/negative exact costs on both call sites). ([#6856](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6856) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(plugin):** the `@omniroute/opencode-plugin` dynamic provider hook stopped embedding its OC-1.17.8+-gate-compatible `opencode-`-prefixed provider id into model routing fields (`ModelV2.id`/`providerID`, combo catalog keys) — OmniRoute's server has no `opencode-<x>` provider alias, so every dispatched model failed credential lookup with "No credentials for opencode-omniroute" (#6859).
+- fix(sse): apply cliproxyapiModelMapping at CLIProxyAPI dispatch time (#6876)
+- fix(sse): defer `response.completed` until a trailing usage-only chunk arrives on `/v1/responses` streams (#6906)
+- **fix(cli):** ship `head-response-guard.cjs` into the standalone bundle — `server-ws.mjs` imported it without a matching `EXTRA_MODULE_ENTRIES` entry, so every `build:release` dist crashed at boot with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND`; a new regression test derives the required sidecars from `server-ws.mjs` imports (#6908)
+- fix(sse): wire the shared quota-fetch throttle into DeepSeek, Bailian, OpenCode, and Crof quota fetchers, not just Codex (#6911)
+- fix(sse): rename client-sent `max_completion_tokens` to `max_tokens` for providers/models that only accept the legacy field (e.g. Volcengine Ark / DeepSeek), mirroring the existing reverse rename from #1961 (#6912)
+- fix(sse): set includeServerSideToolInvocations on Antigravity tool cloak decoys (#6914)
+- fix(sse): classify LAN embeddings providers (10/8, 192.168/16, CGNAT) as no-auth instead of forcing bearer auth (#6925)
+- fix(sse): Qwen Web executor no longer sends `[object Object]` when a message uses structured (array) content — the text parts are now flattened (#6927)
+- perf(api): relay chat-completions routes now thread the already-fetched `RelayToken` into `checkRateLimit`, skipping a redundant `SELECT * FROM relay_tokens WHERE id = ?` re-query on every request (#6930)
+- fix(sse): `normalizeCodexMessageContentPart` now rewrites explicit `type: "input_text"` (not just `type: "text"`) to `output_text` on assistant-role Codex Responses input parts, so replayed assistant history sent by codex-cli as `input_text` is no longer rejected by the Codex/OpenAI backend (#6932)
+- fix(sse): omit removed `attachments` field from Muse Spark Web (Meta AI) persisted GraphQL query to fix `Unknown type "AttachmentInput"` 502s (#6935)
+- fix(dashboard): label audio/embeddings/image compatible providers by kind instead of "Chat" on ProviderCard (#6936)
+- fix(api): model-list discovery for LAN-local OpenAI-compatible providers (e.g. LM Studio) now uses the same local-first SSRF guard as the connection test, instead of the stricter guard that always blocked LAN hosts (#6939)
+- fix(providers): `openai->gemini` transform now maps `reasoning_effort: "none"` to `thinkingConfig.thinkingBudget: 0` (with `includeThoughts: false`), giving callers an explicit, documented off-switch for Gemini thinking; the no-knob-at-all default injection (#4170) is unchanged (#6813, thanks @rafaumeu)
+- **fix(sse):** escape backslash before brackets in ChatGPT-web citation link text, preventing a citation label containing `\` from corrupting the generated Markdown link ([#6944](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6944)) — thanks @brick30llc-ctrl
+- fix(oauth): tokenHealthCheck now lowercase-normalizes `conn.provider` before checking `ROTATING_REFRESH_PROVIDERS.has()` and the GitHub Copilot sub-token refresh guard, so mixed-case provider values (e.g. "OpenAI", "Github") no longer bypass the rotating-refresh-token skip or the Copilot sub-token refresh (#6947)
+- fix(sse): make Codex Responses tool-arg normalization schema-aware — drop values equal to the tool's declared JSON Schema `default`, generalize empty-optional stripping to any tool (not just `Read`/`Subagent`) via `schema.required`, and thread each tool's schema from the request's `tools[]` into the streaming response translator (#6951)
+- fix(sse): drop internal commentary-phase Responses output in TRANSLATE-mode streams, not just PASSTHROUGH — codex/Responses-upstream routes translated into another client format (e.g. Claude Code) no longer leak duplicate prose and narrated tool-call arguments into the client text channel (#6952)
+- **fix(combos):** embeddings-only and rerank-only models (e.g. JinaAI, Gemini auto-imported, OpenRouter custom, reranker models) no longer disappear from the combo builder's model picker — the leftover chat-only `isChatCapable` gate in `addModelOption()` has been removed (#6975).
+- **fix(combos):** when 2+ distinct model ids from the same provider would render an identical display name in the combo builder picker (e.g. Mistral's `codestral-latest`/`codestral-2508` aliases sharing one upstream catalog name), each colliding entry now falls back to its own id as the display label so every row stays visually distinguishable and findable (#6957).

+- **chore(release-captain):** v3.8.47 pre-flight closed every deterministic release-tip base-red ([#6967](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6967)): restored the `no-explicit-any` severity silently downgraded by #6786 (439 bulk suppressions had stopped matching), made the openadapter live-catalog test deterministic (`test.after()` was tearing the DB down mid-request), aligned the emergency-fallback and Cloud Code Gemini tests with the #6912/#6943 contracts, backfilled the #6909 i18n keys (en + pt-BR), re-exported `relayProbeStats` (db-rules), documented `OMNI_MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS`, and allowlisted migration gap 121. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **chore(security):** unbiased crypto digits for the doubao synthetic device id (CodeQL `js/biased-cryptographic-random`); 405 method-first for `/api/keys/{id}/devices` (dast-smoke); Zod-validation for `POST /api/github-skills`; the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry + catalog count alignment. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **chore(quality):** cycle-close ratchet work — cleared the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors and made `validate-release-green` suppressions-aware; cleared the 2 remaining heavy-gate reds on the release tip; cycle rebaselines (cognitive/file-size/zizmor/coverage pcts) with justification keys. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **chore(open-sse):** removed the vestigial `// @ts-nocheck` directive from `open-sse/utils/usageTracking.ts` ([#6173](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6173)) — `tsc` under the standard `typecheck:core` gate reports 0 errors for this 595-line hot-path file (executed for every provider response), so the suppression was no longer needed; removing it restores type-checking on the token-usage extraction/normalization path. (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **chore(cli):** the shell-completion cache paths (`readCache`/`refreshCache`/`writeCache`) in `bin/cli/commands/completion.mjs` no longer swallow errors into a bare `catch {}` ([#6257](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6257)) — each now binds the error and, when the new `OMNIROUTE_DEBUG_COMPLETION` env var is set, emits a `[omniroute completion]` diagnostic to `stderr`; the caches still fail silently by default so a missing/corrupt cache never breaks tab-completion. (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **chore(quality):** `validate-release-green --full-ci` reproduces the full `ci.yml` static gate set locally — the pre-flight now reads `ci.yml` itself and runs every `npm run check:*` from the `lint` / `quality-gate` / `quality-extended` / `docs-sync-strict` / `pr-test-policy` jobs (`--` ratchet flags preserved, `test-masking` against `GITHUB_BASE_REF=main`), skipping only the non-local `pr-evidence`/`codeql-ratchet`. Closes the gap where 11 static base-reds leaked to the v3.8.46 release PR in ~2h of layered CI. Also wired into `nightly-release-green` so a static base-red opens a tracking issue the night it lands. Regression guard: `tests/unit/validate-release-green.test.ts` (+5 `extractCiGates` cases).
+- **refactor(usage):** `saveRequestUsage(entry: any)` is now typed with a new `UsageEntry` interface mirroring the `usage_history` columns 1:1 (#3512) — the other stray `any`s in `src/lib/usage/usageHistory.ts` (`getUsageHistory` filter, the `getUsageDb` next-cursor cast, `appendRequestLog`'s legacy `tokens` param, `getRecentLogs`'s catch) were cleaned in the same pass, so the file now sits in the `check:any-budget:t11` zero-`any` allowlist. The DB-entity ↔ TS-interface convention is documented in `docs/architecture/CODEBASE_DOCUMENTATION.md` §11.
+- **Merge-train script** (`scripts/release/merge-train.sh`): batch-validates N queued PRs as ONE merged result on the runner box — merges every queued PR into a throwaway worktree cut from the release tip, runs the fast-gates parity suite once, and prints the `--admin` evidence block per PR (merge-gates §7). Replaces O(N²) per-PR CI re-runs in merge-storms. Regression guard: `tests/unit/merge-train-plan.test.ts`.
+- **release:** `list-uncovered-commits.mjs` now unions the CHANGELOG scan window with `changelog.d/` fragment refs (filename `<PR>-` prefix + every `#N` in the body), so a commit covered only by a fragment is no longer reported as an uncovered reconciliation gap ([#6857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6857) via [#6878](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6878))
+- chore(quality): restore no-explicit-any severity to error (silently downgraded by #6786, broke 439 bulk suppressions), fix 2 unsuppressed anys in repro-6912 test, allowlist migration gap 121, freeze-bump stream.ts/ProxyRegistryManager/tokenHealthCheck (combined-merge drift)
+- chore(base): pt-BR/en i18n keys for #6909 relay-repair/free-pool UI + align Cloud Code Gemini defaults test with the #6943 non-thinking-model contract
+- chore(base): re-export relayProbeStats from localDb (db-rules gate, #6909 follow-up) and document OMNI_MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS in .env.example/ENVIRONMENT.md (env-doc gate, #6590 follow-up)
+- **ci:** unit fast-path sharding doubled 2→4 (halves the heaviest job's wall time) (#6781); the 3 heaviest fast-path jobs can route to the self-hosted VPS runner pool behind `USE_VPS_RUNNER` (#6691); `VPS_ALWAYS_ON` keeps the dedicated 24/7 CI host up across releases (teardown becomes a no-op) (#6693).
+- **docs:** routing-strategy count reconciled to 18 across AUTO-COMBO.md, README and AGENTS.md, and `p2c` casing fixed to match `ROUTING_STRATEGY_VALUES` (#6643, #6644, #6646 — thanks @chirag127); CLAUDE.md updated with the renamed review/triage/implement skill-family names (#6663).
+- chore(release): v3.8.47 pre-flight — relocate #6943 orphan test to a collected path, restore no-explicit-any suppression match, testFrozen bump translator-openai-to-gemini (1541→1553), zizmor rebaseline 159→169
+- **docs(readme):** fix stale counts — 18 routing strategies (adds the missing `pipeline` row), 94 MCP tools, 12-factor Auto-Combo scoring.
+- **chore(ci):** fix two shared base-reds on the release tip that blocked the PR queue — register `cliproxyapi-model-mapping-dispatch.test.ts` in `stryker.conf.json` `tap.testFiles` (mutation-coverage gap left by #6903) and update `provider-models-route-codex.test.ts` to expect Codex client version `0.144.0` (stale assertion left by #6780's production bump).
+- **docs:** refresh `llm.txt` to the current project state (248 providers, 94 MCP tools / 30 scopes, 18 routing strategies, 12-factor Auto-Combo scoring, v3.8.47) and sync its 42 i18n mirrors; move the implemented design-system plan from the repo root to `docs/architecture/DESIGN_SYSTEM.md` rewritten as a reference doc.
+- **chore(security):** scrub hardcoded live-instance credentials (API key + auth cookie + host URL) from the `tests/boundary/*.live.test.ts` files landed via #6786 — they now read `OMNIROUTE_TEST_BASE` / `OMNIROUTE_TEST_BEARER` / `OMNIROUTE_TEST_COOKIE` from the environment and stay gated behind `RUN_BOUNDARY_LIVE=1`.

+## [3.8.46] — 2026-07-07
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(sse):** **hide paid-only models from `auto/*` routing** when `hidePaidModels` is on ([#6512](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6512)) — follow-up to #6328/#6495. PR #6495 hid paid-only models from the `GET /v1/models` listing, but `auto/*` combos (`auto/best-coding`, `auto/glm`, …) could still pick a paid-only backend into their candidate pool → a 402/403 at request time. `createVirtualAutoCombo` now filters the candidate pool through the new pure `open-sse/services/autoCombo/paidModelFilter.ts` (`filterPaidOnlyCandidates`), applying the same free-model predicate #6495 uses in `catalog.ts` (`providerHasFreeModels(provider) && isFreeModel(provider, {id})`) whenever `settings.hidePaidModels === true`. Applied before the category/tier/family narrowing, so it covers every `auto/*` combo; an all-paid pool degrades to the existing graceful empty-pool path. **Opt-in — default OFF leaves the pool unchanged** (identity). Regression guard: `tests/unit/autoCombo/paid-model-filter-6512.test.ts` (4, incl. the default-off identity guard).
+- **feat(sse):** **provider-family auto combos** — `auto/glm`, `auto/minimax`, `auto/mimo`, `auto/zai`, `auto/gemma`, `auto/llama`, `auto/gemini` ([#6453](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6453)) — new routable ids that materialize an on-demand virtual combo spanning whatever installed backends currently expose that model family, degrading gracefully as backends rotate. A new pure `open-sse/services/autoCombo/modelFamily.ts` (`detectModelFamily`) classifies by model-id prefix for six families; `zai` is instead resolved by provider id (z.ai's hosted API serves the same `glm-*` model ids as every other GLM backend, so `auto/zai` means "route to my z.ai backend specifically" vs `auto/glm`'s "any connected GLM backend"). Reuses the existing `createVirtualAutoCombo` on-demand materialization path (no DB writes) and the `/v1/models` catalog advertising loop. Regression guard: `tests/unit/autoCombo/provider-family-combos.test.ts` (11).
+- **feat(proxy):** native **proxy-pool round-robin / egress IP rotation** ([#6365](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6365)) — a scope (global / provider / account) can now hold **multiple** proxies as a pool with a rotation strategy, so outbound requests cycle their egress IP instead of pinning one proxy per scope. Migration `117_proxy_pool_rotation.sql` lifts the `UNIQUE(scope, scope_id)` constraint (rebuild via the canonical rename/copy/drop; existing single assignments become 1-element pools) and adds a `proxy_scope_rotation` companion table holding the per-scope strategy + a persisted monotonic round-robin cursor. Strategies: `round-robin` (default, monotonic cursor — never `Math.random`), `random`, and `sticky-per-N-min`. Resolution (`resolveProxyForScopeFromRegistry` / `resolveProxyForConnectionFromRegistry`) now fetches the alive, position-ordered candidate set (unchanged `PROXY_ALIVE_PREDICATE`) and applies the strategy; an empty / all-dead pool still returns `null` — the #6246 fail-closed guard is **untouched** (never falls through to direct egress). Backend + DB only; dashboard pool-builder UI is a follow-up. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-pool-rotation-6365.test.ts` (8, incl. fail-closed + backward-compat).
+- **feat(providers):** end-to-end **tool/function calling on the native Gemini `/v1beta` endpoint** ([#6222](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6222)) — both directions of the Gemini↔OpenAI conversion now preserve tool data (previously silently dropped). Request side: `convertGeminiToInternal` (extracted to its own testable module) maps `tools[].functionDeclarations` → OpenAI `tools`, prior `functionCall` parts → assistant `tool_calls`, and `functionResponse` parts → `tool`-role messages. Response side: `convertOpenAIResponseToGemini` emits `parts[].functionCall {name,args}` from `message.tool_calls`, and the streaming `openAIChunkToGeminiChunk` accumulates fragmented `tool_calls` deltas by index into complete `functionCall` parts. The non-Gemini client paths (Claude, OpenAI-Responses) already preserved tool calls — this closes the gap specific to the native Gemini surface. Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1beta-gemini-tool-calling-6222.test.ts` (6, incl. a streaming SSE round-trip).
+- **feat(providers):** copilot-m365-web **enterprise / work tier** support ([#6334](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6334)) — mirrors the EDU-tier pattern (#6210): `M365ConnectionParams` gains an `agent` field, a new opt-in `M365_ENTERPRISE_OVERRIDES` preset (`agent=work`, `scenario=officeweb`, `licenseType=Premium`) applies via `providerSpecificData.tier="enterprise"` (alias `"work"`), and `agent` is also overridable directly via `providerSpecificData.agent`. `buildWsUrl` was hardcoding `agent="web"` (the one enterprise-distinguishing param with no override path), so a Premium work account handshook then returned an empty stream. The individual and EDU paths are untouched. Kilo's dup flag vs #6210 (EDU tier) was a false positive — different tier. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-enterprise-6334.test.ts` (7). End-to-end confirmation on a real Premium work account is a live-VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18). (thanks @Forcerecon)
+- **feat(api):** standardized, provider-agnostic **`effort` + `thinking` request params** ([#6241](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6241)) — a thin standardization layer over the existing mature per-provider reasoning plumbing (no provider mapper touched). `providerChatCompletionSchema` gains a canonical `effort` (reusing the shared `none/low/medium/high/xhigh` vocabulary — the UI tiers `extra`/`max` collapse onto `xhigh`) and a boolean `thinking`. A pure `normalizeReasoningRequest` (wired once in `src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, before any reasoning field is read) folds them onto the fields the translators already consume (`reasoning_effort` / `reasoning.effort` / `thinking`), so they fan out to Anthropic / Gemini / xAI / Responses — an explicit client `reasoning_effort` / object-shaped `thinking` always wins (backward-compatible). `/models` additively exposes `supportsThinking` + `effort_tiers` so the frontend can render the toggles (UI component is a follow-up). Regression guard: `tests/unit/effort-thinking-standardization-6241.test.ts` (12). (thanks @Iammilansoni, @shabeer)
+- **feat(combo):** new **`pipeline` (sequential) combo strategy** ([#6297](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6297)) — the 18th routing strategy runs targets **in order**, threading each step's output into the next step's input, with an optional per-step `prompt` (system instruction); only the final step's response is returned. Distinct from `fusion` (parallel fan-out + judge). Implemented as a self-contained `open-sse/services/pipeline.ts` (sibling to `fusion.ts`), dispatched from `combo.ts`; the step list reuses `combo.models` order and reads an optional `prompt` off each target (backward-compatible — ignored by every other strategy). Intermediate steps run non-streaming with tools stripped (complete prose to thread forward); the final step keeps the client's `stream` flag + tools. A failing/empty/unparseable intermediate step fails the whole pipeline explicitly via a sanitized error (never silently swallowed). Kilo's dup flag vs #563 was a false positive (that's model→chain selection; this is a sequential chain). Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-pipeline-strategy.test.ts` (5). (thanks @ofekbetzalel)
+- **feat(ci):** `check:test-masking` now flags **inline-reimplemented prod conditions** ([#6348](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6348)) — a new **report-only** subcheck (v2, 6A.10 family) catches the wrong-shape contract test: a test that recomputes the condition under test inline instead of importing/exercising the real function (the #6216 class, where `=== 500` → `>= 500` stayed green because the test re-implemented the branch). For each added/modified test file it warns when the file textually duplicates a ≥3-token conditional from a production file touched in the same PR **and** does not import the symbol/module owning it, via a pure, fixture-tested `findReimplementedConditions()` with an allowlist mirroring `assertReductionAllowlist`. Report-only for now (does not fail the gate) — to be promoted to blocking after a triage cycle. Regression guard: `tests/unit/check-test-masking.test.ts` (45).
+- **feat(sse):** per-connection routing override (native vs CLIProxyAPI) ([#6339](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6339)) — the previously-dead `isCliproxyapiDeepModeEnabled` helper is now wired into `resolveExecutorWithProxy`: a single connection can opt itself into the CLIProxyAPI passthrough executor via `providerSpecificData.cliproxyapiMode="claude-native"`, with precedence **connection override > provider `upstream_proxy_config` mode > default**. `resolveExecutorWithProxy` now receives the resolved connection's `providerSpecificData` (threaded from `chatCore.ts`), so one connection can deep-route while the provider's other connections stay native — no DB schema change (the toggle rides in `providerSpecificData`). Also resolves the same-provider mixing ask in #6340. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chatcore-executor-proxy.test.ts` (9). (thanks @RaviTharuma)
+- **feat(dashboard):** "Add session cookie" modal now shows a prominent **"Open ‹host› →"** link to the provider's own site ([#6268](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6268)) — every `-web` cookie-session provider (chatgpt-web, claude-web, gemini-web, kimi-web, lmarena, qwen-web, m365-copilot-web, …) renders a one-click external link (opening the provider's login/home page in a new tab) so operators no longer tab away to retype the URL mid-setup. The host resolves from a pure, unit-tested `resolveWebProviderHost()` (prefers `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS[id].website`, falls back to the registry `baseUrl` origin); non-web providers render exactly as before. Kilo's dup flag vs #6265 (modal-too-small-on-1080p) was a false positive — distinct concern. Regression guard: `tests/unit/resolve-web-provider-host.test.ts` (5). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add **DigitalOcean** AI (serverless inference) as an OpenAI-compatible API-key provider ([#6373](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6373)) — base `https://inference.do-ai.run/v1`, wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/digitalocean/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/inference-hosts.ts`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/digitalocean-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @newnol)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Huancheng Public API** (`hcnsec`) as an OpenAI-compatible regional provider ([#6410](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6410)) — Xinjiang Huancheng Cybersecurity's public LLM platform (base `https://api.hcnsec.cn/v1`, free credits via daily check-ins), wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/hcnsec/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/regional.ts`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/hcnsec-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @UnrealAryan)
+- **feat(dashboard):** the web-session credential guide now shows an **"Open {host}" link** ([#6316](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6316)) to the provider's sign-in site (derived from the provider `website` via `getProviderWebsiteHost`), so you can jump straight to the page where the cookie/session must be captured. Regression guard: `tests/unit/web-session-provider-link-6316.test.ts`. (thanks @jordansilly77-stack)
+- **feat(cerebras):** add the **Gemma 4 31B** model (`gemma-4-31b`) to the Cerebras registry + pricing table ([#6331](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6331)). Regression guard extends `tests/unit/t28-model-catalog-updates.test.ts`. (thanks @backryun)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Yuanbao (web)** as a cookie-session provider ([#6196](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6196)) — `yuanbao-web` (Tencent Yuanbao, `yuanbao.tencent.com`) with cookie-only auth (`hy_user`/`hy_token` + public agent id), SSE→OpenAI translation incl. `reasoning_content`, exposing DeepSeek V3/R1 + Hunyuan / Hunyuan-T1. Regression guard: `tests/unit/providers-yuanbao-web.test.ts`. `together-web` was **deferred** (no verifiable web-session endpoint — needs a captured request) and `huggingchat-web` **dropped** (the existing `huggingchat` already is a web-cookie provider). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** route the built-in **agentrouter** through the dynamic Claude-Code wire image ([#6056](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6056)) — a small static allow-set (`CC_WIRE_IMAGE_BUILTINS` in `open-sse/services/ccWireImageBuiltins.ts`), consulted by `isClaudeCodeCompatible` / `isClaudeCodeCompatibleProvider` / `applyFingerprint`, makes agentrouter adopt the CC wire-image headers + fingerprint **while guarding the CC baseUrl/auth branches** so it keeps its own registry `baseUrl` and `x-api-key` auth. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentrouter-cc-wire-image.test.ts` (asserts the wire image is applied AND agentrouter's baseUrl/auth are preserved). Live WAF-acceptance against agentrouter.org is a VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18).
+- **feat(providers):** **bulk-add API keys for Cloudflare Workers AI** ([#6174](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6174)) — `cloudflare-ai` is removed from the bulk-add exclusion list and the bulk parser gains a 3-field `name|accountId|apiKey` mode; the bulk route now builds a **per-entry** `providerSpecificData` so each key carries its own `accountId` (fixing the previous shared-object reuse), and both the create + key-validation paths receive it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/bulk-api-key-parser-cloudflare.test.ts`. (thanks @muflifadla38)
+- **feat(dashboard):** routing/settings UX clarity ([#6147](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6147)) — (1) weighted combos show the **effective routing share %** next to each weight when weights don't sum to 100 (`WeightTotalBar.tsx`); (2) the status widget's user-facing **"Cloud Sync" label is renamed** to "Remote Settings Sync" (`CloudSyncStatus.tsx`; internal ids/state untouched); (3) built-in providers gain an **opt-in advanced base-URL override** (`isBaseUrlOverrideEligibleProvider`, hidden behind an "Advanced" toggle, reusing the existing `providerSpecificData.baseUrl` persistence — not globally widened). Regression guard: `tests/unit/routing-settings-ux-6147.test.ts`.
+- **feat(combo):** add an option to **disable session stickiness**, per-combo or globally — round-robin / random combos can rotate to a different connection on every request instead of pinning a whole conversation to one connection by its first-message hash. Resolution precedence per-combo `config.disableSessionStickiness` → global `settings.disableSessionStickiness` → default `false` (preserves the #3825 prompt-cache/504 fix); gates **both** stickiness call sites in `open-sse/services/combo.ts`. Exposed as a global toggle (Combo Defaults) and a per-combo Inherit/on/off control. ([#6168](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6168)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-disable-session-stickiness.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+- **feat(docker):** add the `OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO` env flag for root-less / user-namespaced deployments — the MITM cert-trust command path (`resolveSudoSpawn` in `src/mitm/systemCommands.ts`) now strips the leading `sudo` when the flag is truthy, in addition to the existing root / sudo-missing cases, so the Proxy Agent runs without `sudo` (the operator trusts the CA manually, e.g. via `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`). Argv-array `spawn` preserved — no shell interpolation (Hard Rule #13). ([#6122](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6122)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-systemCommands-no-sudo.test.ts`. (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Requesty** as an OpenAI-compatible gateway provider (BYOK, base `https://router.requesty.ai/v1`, ~200 free requests/day) — wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/requesty/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/gateways.ts`). ([#6120](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6120)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/requesty-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add **configured-only / available-only filters** to the Free Provider Rankings page ([#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150)) — hide providers you haven't configured, or whose connections are all rate-limited / out of quota, via server-side query params (`?configuredOnly` / `?availableOnly` on `GET /api/free-provider-rankings`) backed by a testable lib helper reusing the in-process connection state (no Redis). Both filters default off, so the default view is unchanged; this supersedes the earlier client-side "Configured Only" toggle (#6245) with an available-only dimension and unit-tested logic. Regression guard: `tests/unit/freeProviderRankings-filters.test.ts`.

+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(dashboard):** adding a second API key connection for the same provider no longer silently overwrites the first — the Add-API-key modal now derives a unique default connection name (`main`, then `main-2`, `main-3`, …) so the backend name-based upsert can't collide (#6499 — thanks @dilneiss).
+- **fix(compression):** the session-dedup engine now also deduplicates a large multi-line block repeated **within a single message** (intra-message dedup), not just across turns; the compression-preview API surfaces a `fallbackReason`, and the fusion panel reports how many models were rate-limited vs failed on total-panel failure (#6501 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **fix(compression):** a stacked-pipeline step naming an unregistered engine now surfaces a `validationErrors` entry instead of silently no-op'ing, so misconfigured pipelines are visible in the preview API (#6506 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **feat(usage):** add a **Codex reset-credit redemption** flow to the Provider Limits UI ([#6361](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6361)) — a `useCodexResetCreditRedemption` hook + `/api/usage/codex-reset-credit` route + `codexResetCredits` lib let you redeem banked Codex reset credits from the quota card. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-reset-credits.test.ts`. (thanks @JxnLexn)
+- **feat(glm):** add **team-plan quota settings** for `glm-cn` connections ([#6351](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6351)) — a dedicated `GlmTeamQuotaFields` form section (team quota id / limits) threaded through the Add/Edit connection modals, persisted via `providerSpecificData`, with the GLM usage service reading the team quota. Regression guards: `tests/unit/glm-team-quota.test.ts`, `provider-specific-data-schema.test.ts`. (thanks @hao3039032)
+- **feat(providers):** add **TinyFish** web-fetch/search support ([#6349](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6349)) — a `tinyfish-fetch` executor + `/v1/web/fetch` route + MCP web-fetch tool, registered as a specialty-media provider with request-validation and a search-provider catalog entry. Regression guards: `tests/unit/executor-tinyfish-fetch.test.ts`, `web-fetch-handler.test.ts`, `mcp-web-fetch-tool.test.ts`, `provider-validation-tinyfish.test.ts`. (thanks @dtybnrj)
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute launch-codex` now spawns `codex.cmd` through a shell on Windows (the npm `.cmd` shim is unresolvable by bare `spawn` → ENOENT), mirroring the qodercli Windows fix (#6263) ([#6312](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6312)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/launch-codex-windows-spawn-6312.test.ts`. (thanks @swingtempo)
+- **fix(codex):** isolate the **Spark** quota from the shared Codex quota and stabilize the quota UI ordering / hydration so per-scope limits render consistently ([#6336](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6336)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/codex-quota-selection-hydration.test.ts`, `provider-limits-ui.test.ts` + 3 more. (thanks @xz-dev)
+- **feat(api):** add a `hidePaidModels` setting that filters paid-only models out of the `/v1/models` catalog. Regression guard: `tests/unit/models-catalog-hide-paid.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api-manager):** the fallback model picker now preserves combos instead of dropping them when a primary model is unavailable ([#6443](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6443)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api-manager-page-static.test.ts`. (thanks @jmengit)
+- **fix(providers):** recoverable Antigravity / Cloud-Code (Gemini Code Assist) `403` responses ([#6452](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6452)) are now classified as a retryable project-config error instead of a terminal account ban, so a fixable project/API-disabled 403 no longer forces a ~1-year cooldown / full OAuth reconnect. Regression guard: `tests/unit/errorclassifier-antigravity-403.test.ts`. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(mitm):** `sanitizeHeaders` now redacts `Set-Cookie` response headers so upstream session cookies never leak into logs / diagnostics ([#6451](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6451)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-sanitize-headers.test.ts`. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(api):** `/api/compression/preview` now accepts `mode: "caveman"` and correctly handles stacked / zero-compression previews ([#6425](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6425)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api/compression-preview-caveman-and-stacked-6425.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Zed** hosted LLM aggregator as a native-app provider ([#6118](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6118)) — OAuth sign-in via the Zed hosted flow, registered through the shared provider registry + executor. Regression guards: `tests/unit/zed-oauth-provider.test.ts`, `zed-import-utils.test.ts`, `zed-docker-detect.test.ts`, `mitm-handler-zed.test.ts`. VPS-validated via live operator login (Hard Rule #18).
+- **fix(oauth):** the Kiro SSO-cache auto-import now **preserves the IDC region** — cross-region Amazon Q / Kiro profiles imported from the SSO cache are no longer collapsed to the default region ([#6113](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6113)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kiro-auto-import-idc-2059.test.ts`. VPS-validated via live operator login (Hard Rule #18).
+- **fix(dashboard):** passthrough model aliases no longer collide when two namespaced model ids share a last segment (port from 9router#1850, [#6431](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6431)). `enx/gpt-5.5` and `enx/codebuddy/gpt-5.5` both auto-generated the alias `gpt-5.5`, so the second model could never be added (the UI just alerted "alias already exists"). Aliases are now disambiguated deterministically — bare last segment when free, then parent-qualified (`codebuddy-gpt-5.5`), then a numeric suffix — while re-adding the exact same model id is still blocked. Regression guard: `tests/unit/passthrough-alias-1850.test.ts`. (thanks @arpicato)
+- **fix(translator):** preserve a Gemini `functionResponse` co-located with other parts (another `functionCall`, or trailing `text`) in the same content when translating **Gemini → OpenAI** ([#6376](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6376)). `convertGeminiContent()` early-returned the tool message on the first `functionResponse` part, dropping any co-located parts; such contents are now pre-split (one tool message per `functionResponse`, emitted first, plus one message for the remaining parts). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-to-openai-function-response.test.ts`. (thanks @warelik)
+- **fix(headroom):** detect a python interpreter managed by **mise / pyenv / asdf / conda** (port from 9router#2353, [#6382](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6382)). Headroom's python probe (`src/lib/headroom/detect.ts`) searched a hardcoded `PATH`, but version managers expose their interpreters via shim dirs that only join `PATH` through interactive-shell activation — which the non-interactive server never runs, so a managed python (≥3.10) was invisible and Headroom reported it missing. The search path now prepends the well-known shim/bin dirs (`~/.local/share/mise/shims`, `~/.pyenv/shims`, `~/.asdf/shims`, `$CONDA_PREFIX/bin`, `~/.local/bin`, respecting `MISE_DATA_DIR`/`PYENV_ROOT`/`ASDF_DATA_DIR` when set), and a new `HEADROOM_PYTHON` env override lets operators point straight at their interpreter (mirroring `HEADROOM_URL`). Still shell-free (`execFileSync`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/headroom-detect.test.ts` (5). (thanks @loopyd)
+- **fix(executors):** strip the OpenAI-Codex/Claude-CLI `client_metadata` passthrough field for **NVIDIA** requests (port from 9router#1887, [#6411](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6411)). NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible wrapper rejects it with `400 Unsupported parameter`, the same class already handled for `cerebras`/`mistral`; `nvidia` (executor `default`) was missing from the strip allowlist so Codex/Claude-Code passthrough requests 400'd. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executor-default-strip-client-metadata.test.ts` (+nvidia case). (thanks @phidinhmanh)
+- **fix(translator):** strip the Claude-style `thinking` field for **NVIDIA `z-ai/glm-5.2`** (port from 9router#2023, [#6413](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6413)). NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible wrapper 400s on `thinking` (a Claude-format client routed here leaves a `thinking:{type:"adaptive"}`); the existing strip rule only dropped `reasoning`. Same class already handled for `minimax-m2.7`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-minimax-thinking-strip.test.ts` (+glm-5.2 case). (thanks @phidinhmanh)
+- **fix(translator):** suppress the streamed `</think>` close marker for the **Antigravity IDE** client (port from 9router#1061, [#6415](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6415)). On thinking-only turns Antigravity rendered a bare `</think>` as the sole visible content, tripping its loop-detection and wasting requests. Antigravity's UA (`vscode/<v> (Antigravity/<v>)`) is added to the marker-suppress allowlist (alongside OpenCode); Claude Code / Cursor still get the marker, and `x-omniroute-thinking-marker: on` force-restores it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/think-close-marker-suppress-5245.test.ts`. (thanks @abdofallah)
+- **fix(executors):** strip nested `reasoning_content` from messages for **Mistral** (port from 9router#1649, [#6417](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6417)). Mistral's API returns `422 extra_forbidden` when an assistant message carries `reasoning_content` (replayed thinking from a prior turn, e.g. via the Codex `/responses` path); the generic top-level 400 field-downgrade retry never covered the nested per-message field. `DefaultExecutor` now strips it for provider `mistral` only, so DeepSeek (which requires replayed `reasoning_content`) is unaffected. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mistral-strip-reasoning-content-1649.test.ts`. (thanks @xxy9468615)
+- **fix(executors):** strip the `client_metadata` passthrough field on the **OpenCode** path (port from 9router#1442, [#6418](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6418)). OpenCode upstreams (e.g. `kimi-k2.6` via opencode-go) reject it with `400 "Extra inputs are not permitted, field: 'client_metadata'"`; the DefaultExecutor strip only covered cerebras/mistral and `OpencodeExecutor` extends `BaseExecutor` directly, so nothing removed it there. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-strip-client-metadata-1442.test.ts`. (thanks @yanpaing007)
+- **fix(executors):** inject the `reasoning_content` echo for the native **Moonshot Kimi** provider (port from 9router#1480, [#6419](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6419)). Kimi (executor `default`) is a thinking-mode upstream that 400s with "reasoning_content must be passed back" when a prior assistant turn lacks it; the placeholder injection was only wired into the OpenCode meta-provider, so direct multi-turn Kimi conversations failed. Scoped to `kimi` (gateway-served models matching the thinking-model name pattern are unaffected). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kimi-native-reasoning-injected-1480.test.ts`. (thanks @2220258345)
+- **fix(executors):** recover from a strict gateway's `context_management: Extra inputs are not permitted` 400 (port from 9router#1468, [#6420](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6420)). **Claude Code** always sends a top-level `context_management` field; strict anthropic-compatible gateways reject it. The dedicated context-editing 400-fallback only fired when OmniRoute's own `contextEditing` feature was enabled (default off), so a client-sent field passed through untouched and 400'd. `context_management` is now in the generic reactive field-strip list, so it's stripped-and-retried once regardless of the feature flag (with correct request re-signing for claude-compatible relays). Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-field-strips.test.ts`. (thanks @ohahe52-dot)
+- **fix(network):** enable **RFC 8305 Happy Eyeballs** (`autoSelectFamily`) on the direct-egress undici dispatcher (port from 9router#1237, [#6423](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6423)). When DNS returns both IPv6 (AAAA) and IPv4 (A) and the IPv6 route is broken (e.g. a NAT64 `64:ff9b::` prefix without routing), undici tried IPv6 first and hung until `ETIMEDOUT` (then a 502 + account lockout), even though `curl` reached the same host. The direct dispatcher now races both families and uses whichever connects first. Proxy paths pin family via `proxyTls` and are unaffected. Regression guard: `tests/unit/direct-dispatcher-pipelining-4580.test.ts`. (thanks @adentdk)
+- **fix(combo):** round-robin now advances the rotation pointer past the model that **actually served**, not the eagerly-scheduled one (port from 9router#948, [#6428](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6428)). With `stickyLimit: 1` (true round-robin), when the scheduled model failed and a _different_ model served via fallback, the counter had already advanced +1 from the scheduled index — so the next request reused the fallback-served model, degrading round-robin into hot-spotting on whichever model was healthy. The pointer now advances to the served index + 1 (mirroring the sticky-limit>1 path). Session-stickiness (#3825) and distribution are preserved. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-rr-fallback-advance-948.test.ts`. (thanks @binsarjr)
+- **fix(sse):** a non-string `model` field is now rejected with a `400` before the resolver, instead of crashing downstream `.toLowerCase()`/`.split()` calls into an empty-body `500` that escapes the error sanitizer ([#6407](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6407)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/chat-non-string-model-6407.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** unknown `/api/*` routes now return a JSON `404` (instead of the dashboard HTML shell) and scalar chat params (`model`/`temperature`/etc.) are validated **before** the provider lookup so malformed requests fail fast with a clear `400` ([#6424](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6424), [#6412](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6412)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/api/api-catchall-json-404.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chat-early-schema-validation-6412.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/chat/completions` now rejects a non-JSON `Content-Type` with a `400` before parsing the body ([#6414](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6414)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-chat-completions-content-type-6414.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the `X-OmniRoute-Compression` response header is now echoed on `/v1/chat/completions` and `/v1/completions` ([#6422](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6422)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression-header-echo-6422.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** concurrent `GET /v1/models` requests are coalesced into a single catalog build ([#6408](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6408)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-models-concurrent-6408.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/completions` now echoes the requested `body.model` in its JSON + streamed responses ([#6429](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6429)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/completions-body-model-echo.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** env-var master keys now see the full `/v1/models` catalog ([#6406](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6406)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/models-catalog-envkey-6406.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** non-streaming `/v1/completions` responses now echo `body.model` aligned with the `X-OmniRoute-Model` header ([#6426](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6426)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-completions-model-header-match-6426.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** unknown `/v1/*` routes now return a JSON `404 not_found` instead of the Next.js dashboard HTML shell ([#6405](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6405)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api/v1-catchall-json-404.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the per-connection provider models route now degrades to the shipped catalog when a provider's `/models` endpoint answers with a redirect ([#6267](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6267)) — a `qwen-web` import failed with a raw `Redirect blocked … (307)` 503. `safeOutboundFetch` throws `REDIRECT_BLOCKED` on the 307, `getSafeOutboundFetchErrorStatus` maps it to 503, and `buildDiscoveryErrorFallbackResponse` treated every 503 as a hard error — so the non-empty `getModelsByProviderId("qwen-web")` catalog was never surfaced. A models-endpoint redirect is not a fixable-config error (unlike `URL_GUARD_BLOCKED`/`INVALID_URL`, which stay hard errors), so it now falls back to the local/cached catalog before the 503 short-circuit. General fix — covers any config-driven provider that 307s. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-qwen-web-redirect-6267.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the per-connection provider models route (MCP `list_models_catalog` + the dashboard import view) now merges USER-ADDED custom models into its response ([#6247](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6247)) — custom models live in the `key_value` namespace `customModels`, which the live REST `/api/v1/models` already merges, but `src/app/api/providers/[id]/models/route.ts` never read `getCustomModels`, so custom models were dropped on both the discovery-success and local_catalog paths. They are now folded into the returned model list (deduped by id, stamped `owned_by: provider`), fixing MCP + the dashboard import view in one place. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-custom-merge-6247.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo tool-calling follow-up turns no longer fail upstream with `422 {"detail":"Validation error"}` (tokens 0/0, rejected pre-inference). The #6234 tool-result-feedback fix serialized the **entire** multi-turn conversation into GitLab's single-file `code_suggestions` (`small_file`) generation endpoint — folded history that turn-N sent as an oversized `current_file.content_above_cursor` **and** duplicated verbatim into `user_instruction`, tripping the AI-Gateway's `small_file` validation guard. The executor now **bounds** that prompt: it keeps system + latest user message + the most-recent tool round (dropping older turns), caps oversized tool results, and stops duplicating the full prompt into `user_instruction` (which now carries only the short latest user message) — while still feeding the most-recent tool result back so the agent continues (`open-sse/executors/gitlab.ts`, [#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)). The unit test covers the bounding logic; the upstream 422→200 clearing is VPS-only (Hard Rule #18). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-exchange-bounded-6220.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(i18n):** the provider-detail (`/dashboard/providers/[id]`) connection-status filter labels no longer render as `__MISSING__:All` / `__MISSING__:Active` / `__MISSING__:Error` / `__MISSING__:Banned` / `__MISSING__:CreditsExhausted` in non-English locales (notably pt-BR) ([#6290](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6290)). Root cause was **not** the namespace mismatch the issue guessed — the `providers.filter*` keys resolve correctly in `en.json`; the debt lived in the locale mirrors (`src/i18n/messages/*.json`), where these five keys carried the `__MISSING__:` sync sentinel in ~15 locales and were absent entirely in ~26 others, so next-intl found the key and echoed the sentinel verbatim. All 40 non-English/-Chinese mirrors now ship real translations for the five `providers.filter*` labels. Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-provider-filter-keys-6290.test.ts`. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(providers):** the `copilot-m365-web` streaming executor now emits `debug`-level WebSocket diagnostics ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)) — the outbound WS URL (with the `access_token` **redacted** via `redactWsUrl()`), handshake success/failure, and each received SignalR frame's `type`/`target`. Previously the streaming path logged nothing, so an empty `content:null` response (the M365 Education / Starter tier symptom fixed in #6234) was undiagnosable even at `APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug`. The change is debug-level and side-effect-free — it does not alter streaming behavior or the frame parser, and the token never reaches the logs. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-web-logging-6210.test.ts` (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(resilience):** a round-robin combo no longer returns `503 all upstream accounts are unavailable` when a compatibility-rejected target is actually healthy ([#6238](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6238)). `filterTargetsByRequestCompatibility` drops request-incompatible targets (tool/vision/structured-output unsupported, or below the required context window) **before** any availability check runs, and its `compatible.length === 0` safety net only fired when _all_ targets were filtered — not when the kept targets later all turned out runtime-unavailable (circuit-open / cooldown / no credentials). So a combo could 503 while a compat-rejected-but-healthy provider sat unused. `handleRoundRobinCombo` now keeps the compat-rejected set and, when every compat-kept target was skipped without a single real attempt, probes those rejected targets as a **last-resort fallback tier** (via the new pure `open-sse/services/combo/comboCompatFallback.ts`) before crystallizing the 503. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-roundrobin-compat-fallback-6238.test.ts`. (thanks @ThongAccount)
+
+- **fix(startup):** best-effort self-heal for a corrupted Turbopack dev cache on Windows ([#6289](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6289)). On Windows, `pnpm dev` can fail at startup when Turbopack `mmap`s a persistent-cache SST file and the OS refuses the mapping (`os error 1455` — "paging file too small"), which Turbopack surfaces as a misleading `Module not found: Can't resolve '@/shared/utils/machine'`. This is a **known upstream Turbopack cache-corruption bug — not our code**. The dev launcher (`scripts/dev/run-next.mjs`) now wraps `nextApp.prepare()` and, when it rejects with that signature (`isTurbopackCacheCorruption` in the new `scripts/dev/turbopackCacheHeal.mjs`), purges `.build/next/**/cache/turbopack` and retries **once** with a clear log. **Caveat — best-effort only:** the corruption often surfaces as a runtime overlay rather than a `prepare()` rejection, so this cannot always intercept it; the reliable remedy remains manually deleting the Turbopack cache dir.

+- **fix(providers):** qodercli PAT auth no longer fails with `spawn qodercli ENOENT` on Windows ([#6263](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6263)) — `spawnQoderCli` spawned the bare `qodercli` name with `shell:false` and an unenriched env, so the npm `.cmd` wrapper under `%APPDATA%\npm` (a user-PATH directory) was never resolved. It now resolves the absolute `.cmd`/`.exe` path through the existing `getCliRuntimeStatus("qoder")` resolver in `src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts` (memoized), spawns with `shell` when the target is a `.cmd`/`.bat`, and uses the cliRuntime-enriched env (PATH + PATHEXT + APPDATA); the ENOENT error now lists the searched paths plus the `CLI_QODER_BIN` override. End-to-end spawn on a real Windows host is host-only (Hard Rule #18); the path-resolution logic is unit-tested. Regression guard: `tests/unit/qodercli-windows-resolve-6263.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(sse):** the reasoning-token buffer no longer inflates **probe-sized `max_tokens`** ([#6274](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6274)) — Claude Code's `/model` capability check sends `max_tokens: 1`, but for a thinking-capable model with a large output cap (e.g. `glm-5.2`) the #3587 headroom heuristic (`max(current + 1000, ceil(current * 1.5))`) rewrote it to `1001` and forwarded that upstream, wasting tokens on a request that was never a genuine reasoning budget. `resolveReasoningBufferedMaxTokens()` (`open-sse/services/reasoningTokenBuffer.ts`) now short-circuits and returns the caller's value verbatim when it is below the new `REASONING_BUFFER_MIN_TRIGGER` (256) threshold — a tiny explicit limit is a probe, not a reasoning request. Real budgets still receive the #3587 headroom unchanged, and the guard runs after the existing capability checks so unknown / non-reasoning models keep returning `null`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/reasoning-token-buffer-6274.test.ts`. (thanks @brightfiscalband)
+
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute reset-password` now works as a real subcommand, and password resets over piped (non-TTY) stdin actually apply ([#6261](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6261), [#6258](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6258)). Two coupled defects: (1) **#6261** — `bin/omniroute.mjs` routed everything through Commander with only two pre-Commander bypasses (`--mcp`, `reset-encrypted-columns`), so `omniroute reset-password` was rejected as an unknown command; only the separate `omniroute-reset-password` bin worked, while the docs falsely advertised the subcommand (incl. a bogus "legacy alias still works"). A pre-Commander bypass mirroring `reset-encrypted-columns` now dynamically imports `bin/reset-password.mjs` (which self-executes) before Commander parses; the three doc lines were corrected. (2) **#6258** — `bin/reset-password.mjs` issued two sequential `rl.question` prompts; under piped stdin the second read never settled at EOF, so `main()` never reached `resetManagementPassword` and the reset was a silent no-op (both prompts printed, no success, password unchanged). The CLI now detects non-TTY stdin and reads it once (first line = password, second line = confirm if present, else reused), adds a `--password-stdin` flag (entire stdin is the password, no confirmation), and exits `0` explicitly so the success line always flushes; interactive TTY behavior is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/reset-password-cli-6261-6258.test.ts` (3). (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(db):** the mass-migration **safety abort** now tells the operator how to bypass it and stops flooding the log ([#6260](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6260)) — after restoring a backup that wiped the migration tracking table, `runMigrations()` threw the abort on every downstream `ensureDbInitialized()`, re-logging the full banner 11+ times, and the message never mentioned the existing `OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS` escape hatch. The abort text now appends a bypass hint (set `OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS=0` in `server.env` / `DATA_DIR/.env`), and a new `MigrationSafetyAbortError` is memoized so repeated calls in the same process throw the same instance and emit a single concise line instead of the full cascade. Regression guard: `tests/unit/migration-safety-abort-6260.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(auth):** importing a **distinct** Codex/ChatGPT OAuth `auth.json` is no longer falsely rejected as "already exists" when it belongs to a different user in the same workspace ([#6301](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6301)). `findExistingCodexConnection` (in `src/lib/oauth/utils/codexAuthImport.ts`) deduped **only** on `providerSpecificData.workspaceId === accountId`, where `accountId` is the shared `chatgpt_account_id`/`tokens.account_id` — so two members of the same ChatGPT Team collapsed onto a single connection (409 `duplicate_account`). The id_token's `https://api.openai.com/auth` claim carries a per-user `chatgpt_user_id` alongside the workspace id (the device-flow path already persisted it as `chatgptUserId`, but the import path did not). Now `parseAndValidateCodexAuth` extracts `userId` (`chatgpt_user_id` → `user_id` → JWT `sub`) into `ParsedCodexAuth`, the create/update paths persist `chatgptUserId` in `providerSpecificData` (mirroring `codex.ts`), and dedup keys on `workspaceId` **AND** `chatgptUserId` — with a backward-compat fallback to legacy accountId-only matching when no stored connection for that workspace records a `chatgptUserId`, so genuinely-same accounts still dedup. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-auth-import-userid-dedup-6301.test.ts` (4). (thanks @anungma)
+
+- **fix(providers):** importing models for the **venice-web** provider no longer fails with a red "Provider venice-web does not support models listing" ([#6269](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6269)). `venice-web` is a web-cookie provider with an executor but no upstream `/v1/models` endpoint and no registry `models`, so the models route fell through to the tail `400`. Mirroring the `jules`/`linkup-search`/`ollama-search` fix (#5569), it now ships a static local catalog entry in `src/lib/providers/staticModels.ts` — seeding the current Venice lineup (`venice-uncensored`, `llama-3.3-70b`, `qwen3-235b`, `qwen3-4b`, `deepseek-r1-671b`; Venice rotates its catalog, see docs.venice.ai/models/overview) — so the route returns `200` with `source:"local_catalog"`, `intentional:true`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/static-models-venice-web-6269.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(api):** the specialty model catalogs (`/v1/embeddings`, `/v1/images`, `/v1/music`, `/v1/videos` model lists) are now derived from the **unified catalog filtered by a predicate** (`getSpecialtyModelsResponse`) instead of ad-hoc per-route logic, so they consistently respect active-credential visibility and stay in sync with the main catalog ([#6303](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6303)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/specialty-model-catalog-routes.test.ts`. (thanks @makcimbx)
+- **fix(api):** the agent-bridge server route now resolves the MITM manager via a **dynamic `import("@/mitm/manager.runtime")`** so Turbopack does not statically pull the stub (or over-bundle the manager), and the agent-skills generator anchors its output base path with `path.join(process.cwd(), …)` so Turbopack's static analyzer stops tracing the whole project root ([#6329](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6329), [#6366](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6366)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/agent-bridge-server-route-dynamic-import.test.ts`. (thanks @Iammilansoni)
+- **fix(api):** internal probes (combo-test, cloud-sync verify) now pick a **management-scoped / allow-all API key** instead of naively grabbing `getApiKeys()[0]` — a restricted `self:usage` first row made the probe fail with "Model X is not allowed for this API key" even when the combo path was healthy (`pickApiKeyForInternalUse` in `src/lib/db/apiKeys.ts`). The API-manager model editor also falls back to `/api/models?all=true` when `/v1/models` is catalog-protected ([#6372](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6372)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/pick-internal-api-key-6372.test.ts`. (thanks @jmengit)
+- **fix(live-ws):** the Live Dashboard WebSocket server now **rejects on bind failure** (e.g. `EADDRINUSE` when the API bridge already holds the port) instead of letting the error surface as an unhandled `error` event that crash-loops the process — the `error` listener is attached to `wss` (not `server`) and releases the EventBus subscription on a failed start ([#6324](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6324)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/live-ws-eaddrinuse-6324.test.ts`. (thanks @vinayakkulkarni)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the Home provider-topology widget now trusts the live provider-metrics snapshot — it uses `topology.errorProvider` and live `activeRequests` directly instead of re-deriving state from a stale `lastErrorAt` or applying a frontend timeout filter, so the topology reflects real-time provider health ([#6322](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6322)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/home-provider-topology-live-state.test.ts`. (thanks @xz-dev)
+- **fix(sse):** strip zero-width markers from streamed **tool-call arguments** — a follow-up to [#5857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5857). That PR removed injected zero-width joiners (U+200D) from streamed assistant text/reasoning but deliberately left tool-call argument JSON byte-exact. The request-side obfuscation (`open-sse/services/claudeCodeObfuscation.ts`) injects ZWJ into agent words — including the temp path inside the Bash tool description — and Claude models copy that verbatim into generated commands, which are delivered as tool-call arguments rather than assistant text. As a result the ZWJ survived and corrupted code blocks (e.g. a temp path rendered with an invisible joiner). Now `open-sse/handlers/responseSanitizer.ts` strips zero-width code points from tool-call argument strings at every emit site (OpenAI non-stream/stream chat `tool_calls` + legacy `function_call`, native Responses `function_call` items, the OpenAI→Responses conversion, and the native Responses streaming `response.function_call_arguments.delta/.done` events). Only zero-width code points are removed; JSON structure and all other bytes stay identical (no parse/restringify), so normal arguments remain byte-exact. Regression guard: 6 new cases in `tests/unit/response-sanitizer.test.ts` (suite 50/50).
+
+- **fix(nodejs):** the default app log path now resolves under `DATA_DIR` (`~/.omniroute/logs/application/app.log`) instead of `process.cwd()` ([#6197](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6197)) — the globally-installed CLI runs from an arbitrary working directory, so anchoring the default to cwd made file logging silently write to (or no-op under) an unrelated directory, contradicting the documented `.env.example` default. `getAppLogFilePath()` now computes the default lazily via the pure `resolveDataDir()` resolver (honours a per-process `DATA_DIR`, no directory-creation side effect); an explicit `APP_LOG_FILE_PATH` still wins. Regression guard: `tests/unit/logenv-datadir-path-6197.test.ts` (3).
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge/`startMitm` no longer aborts in containers/headless when the Antigravity-default DNS step can't write `/etc/hosts` ([#6127](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6127)), and the privileged command's stderr now reaches `app.log` instead of only a bare exit code hitting the toast ([#6198](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6198)). The default DNS step (`addDNSEntry`) was called unguarded while cert install and the two sibling DNS steps were each best-effort — in the runtime Docker image (`USER node`, no `sudo`, read-only `/etc/hosts`) it threw `Command failed with code 1` out of `startMitmInternal` and killed the whole start, discarding the stderr. The three DNS steps are extracted into a best-effort `provisionDnsEntries()` where each failure is logged with the full `err` (stderr included, folded in by `systemCommands.ts`) and never aborts the start. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-dns-graceful-degrade-6127.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** copilot-m365-web now supports the M365 Education "Starter / OfficeWebIncludedCopilot" tier and no longer returns an empty `content:null` stream ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)). Two gaps: (1) `buildWsUrl()` hardcoded the individual-consumer scenario (`OfficeWebPaidConsumerCopilot`, `isEdu=false`) — the EDU tier is now opt-in via `providerSpecificData.tier="edu"`, emitting `scenario=OfficeWebIncludedCopilot`/`isEdu=true` (the individual path is unchanged); (2) the EDU/GPT-5.5 path streams deltas via `arguments[0].writeAtCursor` (incremental) instead of only `messages[].text` (accumulated snapshots), which the parser dropped — a new `accumulateBotContent()` folds both formats, with `type:2 item.result.message` as a last-resort fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-edu-writeatcursor-6210.test.ts` (10). (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo executor now feeds tool results back into the prompt instead of looping ([#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)) — `buildPrompt()` branched only on `system`/`user` and took `userParts.at(-1)`, silently dropping the `assistant{tool_calls}` + `tool{result}` turns the client appended, so the reconstructed prompt was byte-identical to turn 1 and the model re-emitted the same `<tool>` call forever. When a tool exchange is present the full conversation is now serialized, folding each tool result back keyed by its `tool_call_id`; simple conversations keep the legacy shape. Complements the tool_call emission from [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051) (the `kilo-duplicate` label was a false positive — different, sequential defect). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-result-feedback-6220.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** opencode-go/opencode-zen can now synthesize the OpenCode CLI identity headers Cloudflare requires on VPS egress ([#5997](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5997)) — on a datacenter VPS, `opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/chat/completions` 403s (HTML challenge) requests lacking CLI identity, while the reporter's control curl proved that `User-Agent: opencode-cli/1.0.0` + `x-opencode-client: cli` + `x-opencode-project: default` + fresh request/session UUIDs succeed. Opt-in via `OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS=true` (values overridable via `OPENCODE_GO_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_CLIENT`/`OPENCODE_PROJECT`); it fills only headers the client did not already send. Kept **off by default** — the forward-only path is deliberate (fabricating a wrong value risks upstream rejection; a prior dedup regressed with `opencode/local`), so this replaces the fragile local header-injection shim without changing default behavior. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-cli-headers-synthesis-5997.test.ts` (6). (thanks @aleksesipenko)
+- fix(resilience): sticky session affinity now evicts and fails over to another account when the pinned account is exhausted/unavailable (#6219)
+
+- fix(sse): Responses API passthrough now drops internal commentary-phase output before forwarding to clients (gated by RESPONSES_PASSTHROUGH_DROP_COMMENTARY, default on) (#6199)
+
+- **fix(sse):** tool-call function schemas with a root `type: null` are now coerced to `type: "object"` before dispatch ([#6359](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6359)) — clients like the Codex app emit `parameters: { type: null, ... }` for some tools, which OpenAI-compatible upstreams reject with `400 Invalid schema for function '...': schema must be a JSON Schema of 'type: "object"', got 'type: null'`, failing the whole request. `toolSchemaSanitizer` already stripped the null; it now re-adds the mandatory root `"object"` type (and empty `properties`/open `additionalProperties` when absent). Combinator roots (`anyOf`/`oneOf`/`allOf`) and explicit root types are left untouched. Regression guard: 5 new cases in `tests/unit/tool-schema-sanitizer.test.mjs`.
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge no longer fails to start on npm/Electron/VPS installs with "MITM manager stub reached at runtime" ([#6344](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6344)) — v3.8.45 flipped the production bundler default to Turbopack, but `next.config.mjs` aliased `@/mitm/manager` to its Docker-only degraded stub **unconditionally**. That was harmless while Docker (which sets the alias intentionally for #3390 graceful degradation) was the sole Turbopack consumer, but once every artifact built with Turbopack the stub shipped to all non-Docker users and `startMitm` threw on the first Agent-Bridge start. The alias is now opt-in via `OMNIROUTE_MITM_STUB=1` (set only by the Dockerfile) through the shared `scripts/build/mitm-stub-flag.mjs` helper; default builds bundle the real manager. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-stub-alias-6344.test.mjs` (4).
+
+- **fix(proxy):** stop the v3.8.44 proxy regression that leaked the real IP and disabled healthy proxies ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Two coupled defects from the new health scheduler: (1) **IP leak** — when a proxy assigned to a connection was marked `inactive`, resolution fell through to a **direct** egress instead of blocking, exposing the operator's real IP; (2) **over-deactivation** — the sweep flipped a proxy to `inactive` on the **first** failed probe and counted our own 5s timeout / a probe-target `5xx` as the proxy's fault, so healthy paid proxies vanished from egress selection ("my proxies are not being used anymore"). Fix: the sweep decision is extracted into a pure, network-free `decideProxyHealthAction` (`src/lib/proxyHealth/decision.ts`) — by default the health check now **only counts/logs and never downgrades status** (a proxy is downgraded/removed only with `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE=true`, after `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE_AFTER` **consecutive** conclusive failures); probes are classified tri-state so an inconclusive result (our timeout, or a `5xx` from the probe target) never penalizes the proxy, and the probe timeout is raised 5s→15s. Separately, `safeResolveProxy` now **fails closed** via the existing policy: a connection whose assigned proxy is dead is blocked instead of leaking direct (`hasBlockingProxyAssignment`), honoring the explicit `proxy off` toggles and the `PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true` opt-out. Existing proxies stuck `inactive` by the old behavior need a one-time manual re-activate (the operator owns proxy status). Regression guards: `tests/unit/proxy-health-decide-action-6246.test.ts`, `tests/unit/proxy-assigned-unavailable-6246.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(proxy):** make "Test All" read-only and add bulk enable/disable ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Complements the core fail-closed / scheduler fix (#6296) with the two remaining reporter asks. (1) The **"Test All" button** (`POST /api/settings/proxies/auto-test`) used to flip a proxy to `inactive` on a failed reachability probe; since the egress selector excludes `inactive` proxies, a flaky probe (an unreachable `httpbin.org`, a proxy that blocks `HEAD`, or a slow paid proxy) silently disabled every proxy that failed — "Test All" is now **read-only by default** (only the operator sets a proxy active/inactive; opt back into the legacy test-and-set with `PROXY_HEALTH_AUTO_DEACTIVATE=true`). (2) Adds a **bulk enable/disable** proxies endpoint + toolbar action (`POST /api/settings/proxies/batch-activate`) so an operator can re-activate proxies in one click. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-health-6246.test.ts`. (thanks @tenshiak)
+
+- **chatcore (tools): stop the default 128-tool cap from silently dropping opencode's `task`/MCP tools.** opencode (used as an MCP/agent host) sends a large tool list; when it exceeds the speculative `MAX_TOOLS_LIMIT` (128) default, `truncateToolList` did a blind `tools.slice(0, 128)`, dropping every tool past index 128 — including opencode's built-in `task` tool (subagent launch) and many MCP tools, so models routed through OmniRoute could no longer spawn subagents or reach part of their tools. The cap exists to avoid upstream `400`s for providers with real hard limits (e.g. grok-cli 200), so it is kept for those: detection of the opencode client (`isOpencodeClient` — any `x-opencode-*` header, or `opencode` in the user-agent) now only bypasses the **speculative 128 default**, never a known provider ceiling. Precedence is explicit — a proactive/detected provider limit always truncates (even for opencode); otherwise opencode forwards its full tool list; otherwise the unchanged 128 default applies to every other client. Refactors `getEffectiveToolLimit` into `getKnownToolLimit(provider) ?? DEFAULT_LIMIT` (byte-identical for existing callers) and fixes a cosmetic debug-log that reported the truncated count instead of the original. Regression guard: `tests/unit/tool-limit-detector.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the macOS MITM-cert install check now matches the system keychain again. `security find-certificate -a -Z` prints the SHA-1 as a colon-less hex string, but the installed-check compared it against `getCertFingerprint()`'s colon-separated form, so the substring match never hit — the cert was reported as not-installed and re-prompted for the sudo install on every run. Fingerprints are now normalized (colons stripped, upper-cased) on both sides via the extracted `macCertOutputHasFingerprint` helper. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-cert-mac-fingerprint.test.ts`. ([#6204](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6204), closes [#6134](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6134) — thanks @rianonehub)
+
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/messages/count_tokens` now counts `tool_use`, `tool_result` and `thinking` content blocks (and array-form `system` prompts) in the local-estimation path, instead of only `text`. Real agentic conversations keep ~95% of their tokens inside tool results; the previous estimate returned near-zero for them, which silently broke Claude Code's auto-compaction (context grew past the window with no compaction until the upstream API rejected the request). The real provider-side count path is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/messages-count-tokens-route.test.ts`. ([#6221](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6221) — thanks @luweiCN)
+
+- **fix(antigravity):** strip a trailing assistant prefill turn for Vertex Claude models to avoid upstream 400s ([#6114](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6114)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-claude-prefill-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(security):** the mutable cloud-agent routes (`/api/cloud/credentials/update`, `/api/cloud/models/alias`) now require management auth instead of being treated as public. They were classified as public API routes, so a request without management credentials could update stored cloud-agent credentials and model aliases. They are removed from the public-route set, classified as management routes in the authz pipeline, and gated by `requireManagementAuth`; cloud **read**/auth routes stay public. Regression guards: `tests/unit/cloud-write-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts`, `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6233](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6233) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+
+- **refactor(dashboard):** extract the onboarding-wizard "Open provider details" link target into a pure, unit-tested `buildProviderDetailsHref(connection)` helper. The wizard already routes by `connection.id` (the node UUID) rather than the provider category slug (#6144/#6145); this hardens that behavior behind a tested helper that guards a missing id/connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-onboarding-href.test.ts`. ([#6166](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6166) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+
+- **fix(security):** the doubao synthetic device-id generator now derives its digits via an unbiased crypto-random draw (rejection sampling over `crypto.randomBytes()`) instead of a `% 10` reduction, closing a CodeQL `js/biased-cryptographic-random` finding.
+- **fix(agentSkills):** the GitHub-skills generator now resolves `outputDir` to an absolute path before writing, fixing a regression introduced by #6366 (relative-to-cwd base path) that could write generated skill files to the wrong directory.
+- **fix(security):** `/api/keys/{id}/devices` now checks the HTTP method before auth/validation, returning a `405` for non-GET/DELETE verbs instead of a misleading `401`/`500` (closes a `dast-smoke` QUERY-method finding).
+- **fix(quality):** clear the last 2 heavy quality-gate reds on the release tip (cycle pre-flight).
+- **fix(mitm):** the test suite and CI can never mutate the OS trust store — `OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1` is set globally for tests/CI so `installCert`/`uninstallCert`/`installTproxyCa` skip the privileged OS dispatch ([#6310](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6310); full detail is under the [3.8.45] section below — this branch received it via the parallel-cycle sync-back).
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/github-skills` now Zod-validates its request body; documented the new quality-gate env vars and pinned the merge-integrity GitHub Actions to a commit SHA.
+- **fix(skills):** generate the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry and align the agent-skills catalog-count tests (follow-up to #6186).
+- **fix(quality):** clear the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors and make `validate-release-green` suppressions-aware.
+- **fix(security):** proxy-pool `random` rotation now selects via `crypto.randomInt` instead of `Math.random` — silences the post-release CodeQL `js/insecure-randomness` alerts (#698/#699) that flagged `Math.random` flowing into the selected proxy's credentials. Load-balancing selection is not a secret, but the crypto source is unbiased and clears the alert at the origin (#6365 follow-up).

+- **chore(providers):** remove deprecated **MiMo V2** model entries from the catalogs (xiaomi-mimo, opencode-go, zenmux-free, audio TTS) — the upstream V2 line is superseded by MiMo V2.5; drops `mimo-v2-tts`, `mimo-v2-pro`, `mimo-v2-omni`, `mimo-v2-flash`, `mimo-v2-flash-free` and realigns the provider-catalog tests.

CI/release-pipeline work: #6167, #6203, #6214, #6215, #6218, #6273, #6275, #6283, #6284, #6285, #6300, #6305.
+- **chore(release):** additional zero-ref release-cycle plumbing on this branch, kept out of `release:uncovered` on purpose (no `#N` in the commit subject to cite): opening the v3.8.46 cycle, opening/closing the v3.8.45 cycle, the finalized [3.8.45] CHANGELOG i18n sync-back to 42 mirrors, the v3.8.45 cognitive/cyclomatic and file-size drift rebaselines, ESLint stale-suppression pruning (4,273 → 4,233), and clearing test-masking/docs-all pre-flight reds for v3.8.45.
+
+### ⚡ Performance & Infrastructure
+
+- **perf(release-green):** the pre-flight validator (`scripts/quality/validate-release-green.mjs`) now runs its 4 slow suites (unit / vitest / integration / pack-artifact) **concurrently** via `Promise.all` — pre-flight wall time drops from ~the sum of the suites to ~the slowest one (~30min saved per round; Phase 0 was the nº1 bottleneck of the v3.8.45 release benchmark, 2h54 of 6h34 e2e). Guard: `tests/unit/validate-release-green.test.ts` ("runs the slow suites CONCURRENTLY"). ([#6319](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6319))
+- **fix(ci):** `scripts/release/sync-next-cycle.mjs` — two defects found live in its first production run (v3.8.45 Phase 5): (1) the `git()` helper's default 1 MiB `maxBuffer` crashed with `ENOBUFS` on `git show origin/main:CHANGELOG.md` (the CHANGELOG alone is >1 MiB) — widened to 64 MiB; (2) the i18n resync only propagated the `[NEXT]` (TBD) section, leaving the just-shipped finalized section as "— TBD" in all 42 mirrors — it now also syncs `[prevVersion]` bounded by the heading below it (new exported pure helper `versionAfter`). Guards: +5 tests in `tests/unit/sync-next-cycle.test.ts` (8/8). ([#6327](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6327))
+- **test(ci):** concurrency-sensitive flaky tests are **quarantined into a serial pass** (`tests/unit/serial/`, `--test-concurrency=1`, appended to every unit runner incl. sharded variants — the serial pass is sharded too so concurrent shard jobs never self-collide). Initial set: `glm-coding-plan-monthly-3580`, `quota-division-blocks`, `provider-health-autopilot`, `combo-health-autopilot` — the class behind the ~28min CI wedges/re-runs (two live 1h+ wedges cancelled during this PR's own validation). Discovery + TIA gates track the new glob; systemic root cause (async logger writing after teardown) tracked in [#6360](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6360). Guard: `tests/unit/test-serial-quarantine.test.ts` (4). ([#6347](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6347))

+## [3.8.45] — 2026-07-06
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(providers):** add **Yuanbao (web)** as a cookie-session provider ([#6196](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6196)) — `yuanbao-web` (Tencent Yuanbao, `yuanbao.tencent.com`) with cookie-only auth (`hy_user`/`hy_token` + public agent id), SSE→OpenAI translation incl. `reasoning_content`, exposing DeepSeek V3/R1 + Hunyuan / Hunyuan-T1. Regression guard: `tests/unit/providers-yuanbao-web.test.ts`. `together-web` was **deferred** (no verifiable web-session endpoint — needs a captured request) and `huggingchat-web` **dropped** (the existing `huggingchat` already is a web-cookie provider). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** route the built-in **agentrouter** through the dynamic Claude-Code wire image ([#6056](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6056)) — a small static allow-set (`CC_WIRE_IMAGE_BUILTINS` in `open-sse/services/ccWireImageBuiltins.ts`), consulted by `isClaudeCodeCompatible` / `isClaudeCodeCompatibleProvider` / `applyFingerprint`, makes agentrouter adopt the CC wire-image headers + fingerprint **while guarding the CC baseUrl/auth branches** so it keeps its own registry `baseUrl` and `x-api-key` auth. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentrouter-cc-wire-image.test.ts` (asserts the wire image is applied AND agentrouter's baseUrl/auth are preserved). Live WAF-acceptance against agentrouter.org is a VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18).
+- **feat(providers):** **bulk-add API keys for Cloudflare Workers AI** ([#6174](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6174)) — `cloudflare-ai` is removed from the bulk-add exclusion list and the bulk parser gains a 3-field `name|accountId|apiKey` mode; the bulk route now builds a **per-entry** `providerSpecificData` so each key carries its own `accountId` (fixing the previous shared-object reuse), and both the create + key-validation paths receive it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/bulk-api-key-parser-cloudflare.test.ts`. (thanks @muflifadla38)
+- **feat(dashboard):** routing/settings UX clarity ([#6147](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6147)) — (1) weighted combos show the **effective routing share %** next to each weight when weights don't sum to 100 (`WeightTotalBar.tsx`); (2) the status widget's user-facing **"Cloud Sync" label is renamed** to "Remote Settings Sync" (`CloudSyncStatus.tsx`; internal ids/state untouched); (3) built-in providers gain an **opt-in advanced base-URL override** (`isBaseUrlOverrideEligibleProvider`, hidden behind an "Advanced" toggle, reusing the existing `providerSpecificData.baseUrl` persistence — not globally widened). Regression guard: `tests/unit/routing-settings-ux-6147.test.ts`.
+- **feat(combo):** add an option to **disable session stickiness**, per-combo or globally — round-robin / random combos can rotate to a different connection on every request instead of pinning a whole conversation to one connection by its first-message hash. Resolution precedence per-combo `config.disableSessionStickiness` → global `settings.disableSessionStickiness` → default `false` (preserves the #3825 prompt-cache/504 fix); gates **both** stickiness call sites in `open-sse/services/combo.ts`. Exposed as a global toggle (Combo Defaults) and a per-combo Inherit/on/off control. ([#6168](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6168)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-disable-session-stickiness.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+- **feat(docker):** add the `OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO` env flag for root-less / user-namespaced deployments — the MITM cert-trust command path (`resolveSudoSpawn` in `src/mitm/systemCommands.ts`) now strips the leading `sudo` when the flag is truthy, in addition to the existing root / sudo-missing cases, so the Proxy Agent runs without `sudo` (the operator trusts the CA manually, e.g. via `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`). Argv-array `spawn` preserved — no shell interpolation (Hard Rule #13). ([#6122](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6122)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-systemCommands-no-sudo.test.ts`. (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Requesty** as an OpenAI-compatible gateway provider (BYOK, base `https://router.requesty.ai/v1`, ~200 free requests/day) — wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/requesty/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/gateways.ts`). ([#6120](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6120)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/requesty-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add **configured-only / available-only filters** to the Free Provider Rankings page ([#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150)) — hide providers you haven't configured, or whose connections are all rate-limited / out of quota, via server-side query params (`?configuredOnly` / `?availableOnly` on `GET /api/free-provider-rankings`) backed by a testable lib helper reusing the in-process connection state (no Redis). Both filters default off, so the default view is unchanged; this supersedes the earlier client-side "Configured Only" toggle (#6245) with an available-only dimension and unit-tested logic. Regression guard: `tests/unit/freeProviderRankings-filters.test.ts`.
+- **feat(rankings):** add a **'Configured Only'** filter to the Free Provider Rankings page, so the table can be narrowed to just the providers you have configured connections for (with an empty-state hint when none are configured). New `en.json` keys and a pure filter helper covered by `tests/unit/free-provider-rankings-configured-filter.test.ts`. ([#6245](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6245), closes [#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150) — thanks @Iammilansoni)
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the test suite and CI can never mutate the OS trust store again — `OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1` (set by the global test setup and all CI workflows) makes `installCert`/`uninstallCert`/`installTproxyCa` skip the privileged OS dispatch while preserving the #4546 environment-skip contract. Root cause of the self-hosted runner incident: a cert-flow integration test installed a 105-byte fake PEM into `/usr/local/share/ca-certificates`, breaking ALL system TLS on the VM. Regression guard: `tests/unit/system-trust-test-guard.test.ts`. ([#6310](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6310))
+- **fix(security):** `/api/keys/{id}/devices` answers a clean method-first **405** for undocumented HTTP methods (e.g. the new `QUERY`) via a dedicated `http-method-guard` rule — the auth layer was answering 401 first, failing schemathesis's unsupported-methods check. Same pattern as the v3.8.44 TRACE fix. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dast-method-not-allowed.test.ts`.
+- **fix(combo):** the #6216 empty-stream failover is restricted to **truly empty bodies** (zero bytes — the Gemini HTTP-200-empty case), restoring the #3399/#3685 pass-through contracts for `[DONE]`-terminated empty streams and incomplete Claude lifecycles. New guard: `#5976 truly EMPTY streaming body → invalid for combo failover` (87/87 across both suites).
+- **fix(combo):** 5 streaming-path fixes — locked-stream 500, error-frame-only-if-no-content, Gemini `MALFORMED_RESPONSE`→content_filter failover, correlationId substring search, per-model-500 lockout skip + request-logger UI detail. Maintainer follow-up: `releaseQualityClone` cancels the abandoned quality-check tee branch (per-request memory) + regression test. ([#6216](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6216) — thanks @hartmark)
+- **fix(skills):** generate the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry (the #6186 catalog addition never ran the generator — 8 integration assertions split between old/new counts) and align the agent-skills catalog counts across integration + unit suites (43 = 23 API + 20 CLI; 44 with config).
+- **fix(a2a):** finish the #6186 catalog-count update — `listCapabilities` metadata reported `coverage.api.total: 22` (type literal + value) and `SkillCoverageSchema` pinned `z.literal(22)`, so the schema would REJECT the correct runtime value with 23 API skills. All three aligned to 23.
+- **fix(github-skills):** add a missing import, unit tests and a settings JSON-parse fix for the GitHub agent-skill discovery/import flow. ([#6186](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6186) — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/github-skills` validates its body with a Zod schema (`validateBody`) instead of blind `request.json()` destructuring — a non-array `targets` would crash `.map`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/github-skills-route-validation.test.ts`.
+- **fix(docker):** add `id=` to the BuildKit cache mounts so strict builders (e.g. buildkitd with strict frontend parsing) accept the Dockerfile. ([#6291](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6291) — thanks @karimalsalah)
+- **fix(oauth):** register `zed` in the OAuth `PROVIDERS` map (fixes "Unknown provider" on the Zed sign-in flow) ([#6078](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6078) — thanks @anki1kr), and align `zed` in `OAUTH_PROVIDER_IDS` + the config enum after the merge.
+- **fix(doubao-web):** switch the Doubao web provider to the Dola global endpoint. ([#6235](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6235) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(doctor):** resolve two false-positive WARNs in the doctor diagnostics ([#6163](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6163), closes [#6162](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6162) — thanks @arssnndr)
+- **fix(providers):** refresh the GitHub Copilot model catalog to the current upstream set. ([#6154](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6154) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(providers):** correct the Kiro model catalog to real upstream ids — fabricated `claude-opus-4.7`/`claude-sonnet-4.6` entries removed, real `claude-sonnet-5`/`claude-sonnet-4.5`/`claude-haiku-4.5` kept. ([#6170](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6170))
+- **feat(sse):** surface Kiro adaptive-thinking reasoning frames as `reasoning_content` in the OpenAI-shaped stream. ([#6213](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6213) — thanks @VXNCXNX)
+- **fix(cli):** use `OMNIROUTE_SERVER_HOST` instead of the POSIX auto-set `HOSTNAME` for the bind address (fixes wrong bind on POSIX shells that export HOSTNAME). ([#6195](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6195), closes [#6194](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6194) — thanks @Theadd)
+- **feat(provider):** add Claude 5 Sonnet to the Claude Web provider catalog. ([#6209](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6209), closes [#6200](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6200) — thanks @Iammilansoni)
+- **fix(providers):** add `nvidia` to `PROVIDER_TOOL_LIMITS` (1536) to prevent silent tool-list truncation. ([#6177](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6177) — thanks @LuisAlejandroVega)
+- **fix(translator):** strip the `reasoning` param for nvidia `z-ai/glm-5.2` (upstream 400s on it). ([#6181](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6181) — thanks @kanztu)
+- **fix(dashboard):** providers page gains a data-timeout guard and the live-WS standalone wiring (no more indefinite spinner when the data fetch stalls). ([#6211](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6211))
+- **fix(sse):** surface the ChatGPT-web image silent-drop as an accurate error instead of an empty success. ([#6208](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6208))
+- **fix(cline):** force upstream streaming for Cline/ClinePass (streaming-only API) — non-stream client requests are served from the buffered SSE. ([#6165](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6165))
+- **fix(dashboard):** remove the always-on Auto-Routing (combo) banner from the home page — it did not reflect live routing state and reappeared on every fresh browser. Replacement guard: `tests/unit/home-no-autorouting-banner.test.ts`. ([#6164](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6164))
+- **fix(dashboard):** stop a model-test error from freezing the page (React #31 object-as-child toast) — errors go through `extractApiErrorMessage`. ([#6161](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6161))
+- **fix(oauth):** extract the keychain-import-only guard to its own module, restoring the oauth file-size freeze. ([#6158](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6158))
+
+- **fix(sse):** strip zero-width markers from streamed **tool-call arguments** — a follow-up to [#5857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5857). That PR removed injected zero-width joiners (U+200D) from streamed assistant text/reasoning but deliberately left tool-call argument JSON byte-exact. The request-side obfuscation (`open-sse/services/claudeCodeObfuscation.ts`) injects ZWJ into agent words — including the temp path inside the Bash tool description — and Claude models copy that verbatim into generated commands, which are delivered as tool-call arguments rather than assistant text. As a result the ZWJ survived and corrupted code blocks (e.g. a temp path rendered with an invisible joiner). Now `open-sse/handlers/responseSanitizer.ts` strips zero-width code points from tool-call argument strings at every emit site (OpenAI non-stream/stream chat `tool_calls` + legacy `function_call`, native Responses `function_call` items, the OpenAI→Responses conversion, and the native Responses streaming `response.function_call_arguments.delta/.done` events). Only zero-width code points are removed; JSON structure and all other bytes stay identical (no parse/restringify), so normal arguments remain byte-exact. Regression guard: 6 new cases in `tests/unit/response-sanitizer.test.ts` (suite 50/50).
+
+- **fix(nodejs):** the default app log path now resolves under `DATA_DIR` (`~/.omniroute/logs/application/app.log`) instead of `process.cwd()` ([#6197](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6197)) — the globally-installed CLI runs from an arbitrary working directory, so anchoring the default to cwd made file logging silently write to (or no-op under) an unrelated directory, contradicting the documented `.env.example` default. `getAppLogFilePath()` now computes the default lazily via the pure `resolveDataDir()` resolver (honours a per-process `DATA_DIR`, no directory-creation side effect); an explicit `APP_LOG_FILE_PATH` still wins. Regression guard: `tests/unit/logenv-datadir-path-6197.test.ts` (3). (root cause independently diagnosed by @subhansh-dev in [#6298](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6298) — thanks!)
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge/`startMitm` no longer aborts in containers/headless when the Antigravity-default DNS step can't write `/etc/hosts` ([#6127](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6127)), and the privileged command's stderr now reaches `app.log` instead of only a bare exit code hitting the toast ([#6198](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6198)). The default DNS step (`addDNSEntry`) was called unguarded while cert install and the two sibling DNS steps were each best-effort — in the runtime Docker image (`USER node`, no `sudo`, read-only `/etc/hosts`) it threw `Command failed with code 1` out of `startMitmInternal` and killed the whole start, discarding the stderr. The three DNS steps are extracted into a best-effort `provisionDnsEntries()` where each failure is logged with the full `err` (stderr included, folded in by `systemCommands.ts`) and never aborts the start. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-dns-graceful-degrade-6127.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** copilot-m365-web now supports the M365 Education "Starter / OfficeWebIncludedCopilot" tier and no longer returns an empty `content:null` stream ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)). Two gaps: (1) `buildWsUrl()` hardcoded the individual-consumer scenario (`OfficeWebPaidConsumerCopilot`, `isEdu=false`) — the EDU tier is now opt-in via `providerSpecificData.tier="edu"`, emitting `scenario=OfficeWebIncludedCopilot`/`isEdu=true` (the individual path is unchanged); (2) the EDU/GPT-5.5 path streams deltas via `arguments[0].writeAtCursor` (incremental) instead of only `messages[].text` (accumulated snapshots), which the parser dropped — a new `accumulateBotContent()` folds both formats, with `type:2 item.result.message` as a last-resort fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-edu-writeatcursor-6210.test.ts` (10). (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo executor now feeds tool results back into the prompt instead of looping ([#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)) — `buildPrompt()` branched only on `system`/`user` and took `userParts.at(-1)`, silently dropping the `assistant{tool_calls}` + `tool{result}` turns the client appended, so the reconstructed prompt was byte-identical to turn 1 and the model re-emitted the same `<tool>` call forever. When a tool exchange is present the full conversation is now serialized, folding each tool result back keyed by its `tool_call_id`; simple conversations keep the legacy shape. Complements the tool_call emission from [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051) (the `kilo-duplicate` label was a false positive — different, sequential defect). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-result-feedback-6220.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** opencode-go/opencode-zen can now synthesize the OpenCode CLI identity headers Cloudflare requires on VPS egress ([#5997](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5997)) — on a datacenter VPS, `opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/chat/completions` 403s (HTML challenge) requests lacking CLI identity, while the reporter's control curl proved that `User-Agent: opencode-cli/1.0.0` + `x-opencode-client: cli` + `x-opencode-project: default` + fresh request/session UUIDs succeed. Opt-in via `OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS=true` (values overridable via `OPENCODE_GO_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_CLIENT`/`OPENCODE_PROJECT`); it fills only headers the client did not already send. Kept **off by default** — the forward-only path is deliberate (fabricating a wrong value risks upstream rejection; a prior dedup regressed with `opencode/local`), so this replaces the fragile local header-injection shim without changing default behavior. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-cli-headers-synthesis-5997.test.ts` (6). (thanks @aleksesipenko)
+- fix(resilience): sticky session affinity now evicts and fails over to another account when the pinned account is exhausted/unavailable (#6219)
+
+- fix(sse): Responses API passthrough now drops internal commentary-phase output before forwarding to clients (gated by RESPONSES_PASSTHROUGH_DROP_COMMENTARY, default on) (#6199)
+
+- **fix(proxy):** stop the v3.8.44 proxy regression that leaked the real IP and disabled healthy proxies ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Two coupled defects from the new health scheduler: (1) **IP leak** — when a proxy assigned to a connection was marked `inactive`, resolution fell through to a **direct** egress instead of blocking, exposing the operator's real IP; (2) **over-deactivation** — the sweep flipped a proxy to `inactive` on the **first** failed probe and counted our own 5s timeout / a probe-target `5xx` as the proxy's fault, so healthy paid proxies vanished from egress selection ("my proxies are not being used anymore"). Fix: the sweep decision is extracted into a pure, network-free `decideProxyHealthAction` (`src/lib/proxyHealth/decision.ts`) — by default the health check now **only counts/logs and never downgrades status** (a proxy is downgraded/removed only with `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE=true`, after `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE_AFTER` **consecutive** conclusive failures); probes are classified tri-state so an inconclusive result (our timeout, or a `5xx` from the probe target) never penalizes the proxy, and the probe timeout is raised 5s→15s. Separately, `safeResolveProxy` now **fails closed** via the existing policy: a connection whose assigned proxy is dead is blocked instead of leaking direct (`hasBlockingProxyAssignment`), honoring the explicit `proxy off` toggles and the `PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true` opt-out. Existing proxies stuck `inactive` by the old behavior need a one-time manual re-activate (the operator owns proxy status). Regression guards: `tests/unit/proxy-health-decide-action-6246.test.ts`, `tests/unit/proxy-assigned-unavailable-6246.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(proxy):** make "Test All" read-only and add bulk enable/disable ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Complements the core fail-closed / scheduler fix (#6296) with the two remaining reporter asks. (1) The **"Test All" button** (`POST /api/settings/proxies/auto-test`) used to flip a proxy to `inactive` on a failed reachability probe; since the egress selector excludes `inactive` proxies, a flaky probe (an unreachable `httpbin.org`, a proxy that blocks `HEAD`, or a slow paid proxy) silently disabled every proxy that failed — "Test All" is now **read-only by default** (only the operator sets a proxy active/inactive; opt back into the legacy test-and-set with `PROXY_HEALTH_AUTO_DEACTIVATE=true`). (2) Adds a **bulk enable/disable** proxies endpoint + toolbar action (`POST /api/settings/proxies/batch-activate`) so an operator can re-activate proxies in one click. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-health-6246.test.ts`. (thanks @tenshiak)
+
+- **chatcore (tools): stop the default 128-tool cap from silently dropping opencode's `task`/MCP tools.** opencode (used as an MCP/agent host) sends a large tool list; when it exceeds the speculative `MAX_TOOLS_LIMIT` (128) default, `truncateToolList` did a blind `tools.slice(0, 128)`, dropping every tool past index 128 — including opencode's built-in `task` tool (subagent launch) and many MCP tools, so models routed through OmniRoute could no longer spawn subagents or reach part of their tools. The cap exists to avoid upstream `400`s for providers with real hard limits (e.g. grok-cli 200), so it is kept for those: detection of the opencode client (`isOpencodeClient` — any `x-opencode-*` header, or `opencode` in the user-agent) now only bypasses the **speculative 128 default**, never a known provider ceiling. Precedence is explicit — a proactive/detected provider limit always truncates (even for opencode); otherwise opencode forwards its full tool list; otherwise the unchanged 128 default applies to every other client. Refactors `getEffectiveToolLimit` into `getKnownToolLimit(provider) ?? DEFAULT_LIMIT` (byte-identical for existing callers) and fixes a cosmetic debug-log that reported the truncated count instead of the original. Regression guard: `tests/unit/tool-limit-detector.test.ts`. ([#6193](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6193) — thanks @DKotsyuba)
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the macOS MITM-cert install check now matches the system keychain again. `security find-certificate -a -Z` prints the SHA-1 as a colon-less hex string, but the installed-check compared it against `getCertFingerprint()`'s colon-separated form, so the substring match never hit — the cert was reported as not-installed and re-prompted for the sudo install on every run. Fingerprints are now normalized (colons stripped, upper-cased) on both sides via the extracted `macCertOutputHasFingerprint` helper. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-cert-mac-fingerprint.test.ts`. ([#6204](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6204), closes [#6134](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6134) — thanks @rianonehub)
+
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/messages/count_tokens` now counts `tool_use`, `tool_result` and `thinking` content blocks (and array-form `system` prompts) in the local-estimation path, instead of only `text`. Real agentic conversations keep ~95% of their tokens inside tool results; the previous estimate returned near-zero for them, which silently broke Claude Code's auto-compaction (context grew past the window with no compaction until the upstream API rejected the request). The real provider-side count path is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/messages-count-tokens-route.test.ts`. ([#6221](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6221) — thanks @luweiCN)
+
+- **fix(antigravity):** strip a trailing assistant prefill turn for Vertex Claude models to avoid upstream 400s ([#6114](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6114)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-claude-prefill-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(security):** the mutable cloud-agent routes (`/api/cloud/credentials/update`, `/api/cloud/models/alias`) now require management auth instead of being treated as public. They were classified as public API routes, so a request without management credentials could update stored cloud-agent credentials and model aliases. They are removed from the public-route set, classified as management routes in the authz pipeline, and gated by `requireManagementAuth`; cloud **read**/auth routes stay public. Regression guards: `tests/unit/cloud-write-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts`, `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6233](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6233) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+
+- **refactor(dashboard):** extract the onboarding-wizard "Open provider details" link target into a pure, unit-tested `buildProviderDetailsHref(connection)` helper. The wizard already routes by `connection.id` (the node UUID) rather than the provider category slug (#6144/#6145); this hardens that behavior behind a tested helper that guards a missing id/connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-onboarding-href.test.ts`. ([#6166](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6166) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(api):** relay worker now binds the SSRF guard to a stable `const` name so minified standalone (Docker) builds resolve it ([#6149](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6149)) — the Vercel/Deno relay generators embedded the shared `resolveRelayTarget` guard as a bare `${fn.toString()}` declaration while the worker body called the hardcoded literal name; SWC minification mangled the source function's name, so the deployed worker defined `<mangled>` but still called `resolveRelayTarget` → `ReferenceError`. Both templates now emit `const resolveRelayTarget = ${fn.toString()};` (the const name is a template literal, immune to minification). Regression guard: `tests/unit/relay-minified-fn-6149.test.ts` (4). (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **fix(providers):** refresh the stale NVIDIA NIM model registry — drop EOL `z-ai/glm-5.1`, add `z-ai/glm-5.2` and `nvidia/nemotron-3-ultra-550b-a55b` ([#6108](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6108)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-nim-registry-6108.test.ts`. (thanks @andrea-kingautomation)
+- **fix(backend):** GPT-family (codex) models now report a distinct `max_input_tokens` (272000) below their 400K `context_length` via an optional `maxInputTokens` on `RegistryModel`, so coding agents auto-compact correctly instead of overflowing the real input cap ([#6191](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6191)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gpt-max-input-tokens-6191.test.ts`. (thanks @luweiCN)
+- **fix(backend):** call logs now record a **reasoning source/char-count** (migration 116, `reasoning_source`/`reasoning_chars`) for models that emit `reasoning_content`/`<think>` but report zero reasoning tokens in usage, so `tokens_reasoning` no longer silently under-represents reasoning — cost math is unchanged (the priced `tokens_reasoning` stays usage-derived) ([#6187](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6187)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/reasoning-token-source-6187.test.ts`. (thanks @andrea-kingautomation)
+- **fix(auth):** a stale/changed `STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY` now surfaces as a clear **424 `storage_encryption_stale`** ("re-enter the API key") instead of a misleading "Auth failed: 401" — the connection's ciphertext failed to decrypt and was coerced to an empty Bearer, hiding the real cause ([#6148](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6148)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/decrypt-stale-key-hint-6148.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(backend):** memory injection now keeps the injected system message **first** for providers that require it (via a `PROVIDERS_SYSTEM_MUST_BE_FIRST` capability), instead of the cache-safe mid-array splice that made strict providers reject the request with a 400 ([#6135](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6135)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/memory-system-first-6135.test.ts`.
+- **fix(services):** 9Router embed panel no longer 404s (optional catch-all route) and the supervisor probes the port before spawning to avoid raw EADDRINUSE ([#6205](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6205)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/ninerouter-embed-port-6205.test.ts`, `tests/unit/services/ServiceSupervisor.test.ts`. (thanks @jonlwheat2-gif)
+- fix(mcp): forward the MCP request `extra` context through static tool loops so stdio callers keep their scope/identity ([#6178](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6178))
+
+### ⚡ Performance & Infrastructure
+
+- **perf(test):** test-suite loader quick wins ([#6214](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6214)) — the 19 test scripts switch `--import tsx` → `--import tsx/esm` (the repo is pure ESM; the unused CJS hook cost ~1.3s per test process × 2,462 processes — CI fast-path unit shards dropped 14.8→7.5 min, −49%), tsx bumped to ^4.23.0 (tsx#809 startup-regression fix), **37 orphan `.test.mjs` files (224 cases) recovered** into the canonical glob (they matched no runner and never ran in any CI job; `check:test-discovery` now scans `.mjs` too), and ci.yml/quality.yml unit jobs now call the canonical npm script `test:unit:ci:shard` (single source of truth — closes two silent drifts: missing `setupPolyfill` import in CI and `memory/`+`usage/` dirs absent from the fast-path glob). `tests/unit/dashboard/**` keeps the full tsx hook in its own invocation (`@lobehub/icons` es/ build internally `require()`s ESM-syntax files).
+- **ci:** heavy-pipeline dedup ([#6215](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6215)) — the release-PR pipeline ran the unit suite 4× per sync (95 jobs, 208 machine-min; the v3.8.44 cycle fired 123 such runs, 88 cancelled). Now: Node 24/26 compat matrices move to a daily `nightly-compat.yml` (−28%/run; resolves the active release branch, opens a tracking issue on failure), coverage is collected inside the unit shards themselves via c8/`NODE_V8_COVERAGE` (−18%/run; the Coverage Shard ×8 matrix is gone — nodejs/node's own CI pattern), the ~40-job per-language i18n matrix becomes 1 job (the account has 20 concurrent-job slots total), and heavy jobs skip **draft** PRs — paired with `/generate-release` now opening the living release PR as draft (flipped ready at the new Phase 0a.0a), killing the per-merge churn for the whole cycle. Validated by a full `workflow_dispatch` of the new pipeline: 35 jobs, 0 failures, 23 min, merged coverage 80.16% (> ratchet baseline).
+- **feat(quality):** no-new-warnings per PR ([#6218](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6218)) — native ESLint bulk suppressions (≥9.24) freeze the pre-existing debt (476 files / 4,273 violations in `config/quality/eslint-suppressions.json`); `npm run lint`, lint-staged (pre-commit) and a new fork-aware `lint-guard` job in quality.yml all run suppressions-aware, so a NEW warning goes red in the PR that introduces it instead of accruing invisibly (+41/+88 per cycle) and being blind-rebaselined at release. 3 warn rules promoted to error in `src/**` (`react-hooks/exhaustive-deps`, `@next/next/no-img-element`, `import/no-anonymous-default-export`); `collect-metrics` measures under the frozen baseline (ratchet metric = net-NEW debt; baseline tightened 4,279→0 in-PR per require-tighten); fork PRs run report-only (contributors are never blocked — the maintainer campaigns fix via co-authorship). Baseline stock shrinks via `--prune-suppressions` at release reconciliation.
+- **ci:** test jobs no longer wait on the Build gate ([#6275](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6275)) — `test-unit`×8, `vitest`, `integration`×2 and `security` declared `needs: build` but never download the `next-build` artifact; they now start at minute 0 (`needs: changes`, same `if` as Build), cutting ~15–20 min of wall-clock per heavy run. `e2e`/`package-artifact`/`electron-smoke` keep `needs: build` (they consume the artifact for real).
+- **ci(build):** the ci.yml Build job compiles Next.js with **Turbopack** (`OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=1`) ([#6273](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6273)) — Build job 20 min → **6 min 59 s (~2.9×)** on ubuntu-latest; the webpack `actions/cache` step is removed. Validated end-to-end pre-merge via `gh workflow run ci.yml --ref <branch>`.
+- **feat(build):** **Turbopack becomes the default bundler** for `next build` and `next dev` ([#6283](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6283)) — `build-next-isolated.mjs`, `run-next.mjs` and the playwright-runner default to Turbopack; `OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=0` is the explicit webpack escape hatch. `nightly-compat.yml`/`npm-publish.yml` inherit the default. Regression guard: `tests/unit/build-bundler-default-turbopack.test.ts`.
+- **feat(docker):** the Docker image builds with Turbopack (`ENV OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=1`) ([#6285](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6285)) — the v3.8.27 ImportTracer panic ("unreachable: there must be a path to a root") does **not** reproduce on Next 16.2.9: amd64 (659 s) and arm64 (qemu) build clean, 0 panics, smoke health 200.
+- **ci:** opt-in **self-hosted VPS runners for the release window** ([#6284](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6284)) — `scripts/vps/release-runner-up.sh`/`down.sh` manage the runner VM, and `build`/`test-unit`/`vitest` pick a dynamic `runs-on` gated by `vars.USE_VPS_RUNNER == 'true'` **and** own-origin (fork PRs never reach self-hosted runners). Wired into `/generate-release` (VM up at Phase 1, mandatory down at Phase 3).
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **quality(release-green):** full pre-flight hardening for this release — the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors typed/fixed and `validate-release-green` made suppressions-aware with per-gate logs (`_artifacts/release-green/`) and a `--hermetic` mode; test-masking allowlist entries for the cycle's verified-legitimate assert reductions; stale ESLint suppressions pruned (4,273 → 4,233); the 7 net-new `as any` casts from #6292 typed; `githubSkillTools` MCP errors routed through `sanitizeErrorMessage()`; `combo-provider-cooldown-sibling` added to the Stryker tap set; executors/env docs count fixes.
+- **ci(quality):** merge-integrity fast-gates per PR — `check:changelog-integrity` (no base CHANGELOG bullet may vanish in the merge result — the auto-resolve "CHANGELOG-eat" pattern) and `check:agent-skills-sync` (generated SKILL.md ≡ catalog), blocking for own-origin branches and report-only for forks (Princípio Zero). ([#6300](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6300))
+- **ci(vps):** hermetic `nightly-release-green` pre-flight on the dedicated `omni-release` self-hosted runner (dynamic `runs-on`, clean env); e2e/integration/electron stay on hosted runners (per-VM port collision + concurrent artifact-download limits documented in the PR). ([#6305](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6305))
+- **chore(quality):** v3.8.45 cycle-close drift rebaselines — file-size (13 files grown by merged cycle PRs), cognitive 867→877, cyclomatic 2028→2035, kiro-translator test debt from #6213; all with dated justification keys.
+- **docs(architecture):** sync stale DB-layer counts (45+/55 → 95+/110+) in REPOSITORY_MAP, the db-schema diagram and llm.txt (+42 i18n mirrors). ([#6167](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6167))
+- **chore(release):** parallel-cycle flow — `sync-next-cycle.mjs` + Hard Rule #21 semantics ([#6203](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6203)); v3.8.45 development cycle opened.
+- **i18n(it):** add 118 missing Italian (`it`) translations (net-additive — no existing keys dropped, valid JSON), improving Italian UI coverage. ([#6212](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6212) — thanks @serverless83)
+- **chore(providers):** remove deprecated **MiMo V2** model entries from the catalogs (xiaomi-mimo, opencode-go, zenmux-free, audio TTS) — the upstream V2 line is superseded by MiMo V2.5; drops `mimo-v2-tts`, `mimo-v2-pro`, `mimo-v2-omni`, `mimo-v2-flash`, `mimo-v2-flash-free` and realigns the provider-catalog tests. ([#6248](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6248) — thanks @backryun)

+## [3.8.44] — TBD
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(resilience):** throttle upstream quota fetches on the per-request preflight path ([#6009](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6009)) — a new global min-interval gate (`open-sse/services/quotaFetchThrottle.ts`) spaces the actual network calls made by the Codex quota fetcher so that many accounts on one IP no longer fetch quota in the same second (which, per `router-for-me/CLIProxyAPI#2385`, can get a Codex OAuth token revoked). Complements the existing bulk-sync spacing (`PROVIDER_LIMITS_SYNC_SPACING_MS`) which already serialized the periodic provider-limits sync — this covers the concurrent combo/preflight path it didn't. Cache hits are never delayed; fail-open (only ever awaits a timer). Configurable via `OMNIROUTE_QUOTA_FETCH_MIN_INTERVAL_MS` (default 250ms, clamped 0..5000; `0` disables). Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-fetch-throttle-6009.test.ts` (5). (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(autoCombo):** add **per-request Auto-Combo controls** via two headers ([#6024](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6024) / [#6025](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6025) / [#6023](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6023)) — `X-OmniRoute-Mode` steers an `auto` combo's scoring for a single request (friendly presets `fast`/`balanced`/`quality`/`cheap`/`reliable`/`offline` **or** a raw mode-pack name; `balanced` forces the default weights), and `X-OmniRoute-Budget` sets a hard per-request USD cost ceiling. Both override the combo's stored config only for the request that carries them; unknown/garbage values are ignored so the saved config is preserved. The resolvers are pure (`open-sse/services/autoCombo/requestControls.ts`) and feed the engine's existing `config.modePack` / `config.budgetCap` inputs — no engine changes. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auto-combo-request-controls-6024.test.ts` (5). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add the **Kenari** OpenAI-compatible gateway (BYOK). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kenari.test.ts`. (thanks @doedja)
+- **feat(models):** add `claude-sonnet-5` to the Antigravity model catalog (alias mapping in `antigravityModelAliases.ts`) ([#6103](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6103)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-model-aliases.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+- **feat(api):** add `/v1/ocr` endpoint (Mistral OCR), an OCR provider category, and Mistral moderation support. ([#5950](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5950)) (thanks @waguriagentic)
+- **Discovery tool (Phase 2):** add the `discoveryResults` DB module (CRUD over the `discovery_results` table, migration 074) and wire the opt-in provider-discovery service to persist and read findings through it (`persistDiscoveryResult`, `getDiscoveryResults`, `getDiscoveryResultById`, `markVerified`, `deleteDiscoveryResult`) with `(provider, method, endpoint)` upsert de-duplication. Adds the `/api/discovery/*` HTTP surface — `GET /results`, `GET|DELETE /results/:id`, `POST /scan`, `POST /verify/:id` — under **strict loopback-only** authorization (`/api/discovery/` is in `LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` and is NOT manage-scope-bypassable, so the `scan` route's outbound probes can never be reached from a tunnel/remote origin). Adds a **dashboard UI tab** (Tools → Discovery, `/dashboard/discovery`) to run scans and review, verify, or delete findings. The service stays **opt-in / default-off**. ([#5939](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5939))
+- **feat(api):** expose a read-only provider plugin manifest at `GET /api/v1/provider-plugin-manifest` for sidecar/relay discovery. ([#6001](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6001)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(sidecar):** advertise the provider manifest URL to Bifrost/CLIProxyAPI via the `X-OmniRoute-Provider-Manifest-Url` header (`OMNIROUTE_PROVIDER_MANIFEST_URL`). ([#6007](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6007)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(autoCombo):** add a latency/speed-optimized routing mode (shared `rankBySpeed` scoring core) plus the `omniroute_pick_fastest_model` MCP tool. ([#6011](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6011)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(providers):** refresh The Old LLM (Free) model catalog ([#5181](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5181)) — seed the current free `/api/chatgpt` tier (GPT-5/5.1/5.2/5.3/5.4, o3/o4-mini, Gemini 3 Pro / 2.5 Pro / 2.0 Flash / 1.5 Flash, Claude 4.6 Opus/Sonnet & 4.5 Haiku, GPT-4o, Grok 4, DeepSeek V3/R1, Sonar Pro) while keeping the legacy alias IDs for saved-preference compatibility. Also fixes a latent routing bug: `mapModel()` now passes known upstream IDs through unchanged, so Gemini/o-series/Grok/DeepSeek/Sonar models no longer silently collapse onto `GPT_5_4`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/theoldllm-model-refresh-5181.test.ts`. (thanks @WslzGmzs)
+- **feat(resilience):** surface Codex **banked reset credits** per connected account ([#5199](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5199)) — the Codex quota parsers (`buildCodexUsageQuotas`, `parseCodexUsageResponse`) now additively read `rate_limit_reset_credits.available_count` (+ optional `rate_limit_reached_type`) from the `/wham/usage` payload OmniRoute already fetches, and the provider-limits dashboard renders a **"Banked Reset Credits"** row when a positive count is present. Display-only and **fail-open** — the field is eligibility-gated, so accounts without it are unaffected (parsers never throw on absent/garbage shapes); redemption (an unofficial mutating endpoint) is intentionally out of scope. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-banked-reset-credits-5199.test.ts` (8). (thanks @ofekbetzalel)
+- **feat(providers):** add sign-up geo-restriction notices for **SenseNova** and **StepFun** ([#5462](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5462)) — the provider add-form now warns that SenseNova's console appears to require a Chinese (+86) phone number with no documented international path, and that StepFun's default endpoint is its China platform while a global StepFun Open Platform (`platform.stepfun.ai`, operated by Sparkling AI Pte. Ltd., Singapore) with email/Google/Discord login exists for international users. Informational `notice` only — neither provider is disabled. Regression guard: `tests/unit/regional-provider-cn-notices-5462.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(usage):** add on-demand period-scoped usage-data reset (Settings → System Storage) with a purge API and time-window selector. ([#5831](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5831))
+- **feat(claude-code):** add an opt-in auto-permission classifier compat mode (off/auto/always) for Claude Code, toggleable from the CLI Code settings. ([#5810](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5810))
+- **feat(providers):** add optional client-identity header profiles for compatible nodes — preset User-Agent/fingerprint headers (e.g. matching a known CLI) merged into the existing customHeaders field. ([#5812](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5812))
+- **feat(build):** add a backend-only fast build mode (`scripts/build/build-next-isolated.mjs` + `backendOnlyPages.mjs`) that skips compiling the dashboard frontend pages, cutting local/CI build time for backend-only changes. ([#6119](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6119) — thanks @artickc)
+- **feat(minimax):** extract MiniMax M3's raw `<think>...</think>` leakage into `reasoning_content` on the 8 OpenAI-format provider tiers, leaving the Claude-format `minimax`/`minimax-cn` tiers untouched (they already report reasoning correctly). ([#6073](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6073) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(services):** promote **Bifrost** (`@maximhq/bifrost` — Go AI-gateway) from an env-only relay sidecar to a first-class embedded/supervised service, matching the existing cliproxy/9router model — installer, bootstrap `SERVICES[]` entry, migration 113 DB seed, 7 lifecycle API routes under `/api/services/bifrost/` (loopback-only), a dashboard tab, and relay auto-wiring that defaults `BIFROST_BASE_URL` to the supervised port when running. Implements item #2 of #5670; the broader RouterBackend contract (items #1, #3-#5) stays out of scope. ([#5817](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5817), part of [#5670](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5670))
+- **feat(services):** add **Mux** (`coder/mux` — local agent-orchestration daemon) as a fourth-tier embedded service on the existing `ServiceSupervisor` framework — npm-based installer, `bootstrap.ts` registration, migration 113 DB seed, 7 lifecycle API routes under `/api/services/mux/` (loopback-only, defense-in-depth bind to 127.0.0.1), and a dashboard tab reusing the shared service-management components. ([#6034](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6034))
+- **feat(xai):** surface Grok/xAI usage on the quota dashboard via local `usageHistory` aggregation (`getXaiUsage`) — since xAI exposes no per-account quota API, this sums tokens routed to the connection from `usage_history` and reports them as a cumulative, uncapped quota, mirroring the existing Xiaomi MiMo self-track pattern. ([#5806](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5806))
+- **feat(minimax):** extract MiniMax M3's raw `<think>...</think>` tags into a separate `reasoning_content` field on the 8 provider tiers that register M3 with `format:"openai"` (trae, huggingchat, bazaarlink, ollama-cloud, opencode, cline, opencode-zen, codebuddy-cn) — previously the thinking text leaked directly into `content`. Reuses the existing `extractThinkingFromContent` primitive, extending its allowlist with a minimax-m3-only pattern; the two direct minimax/minimax-cn tiers are untouched since they already surface reasoning natively over Anthropic's Messages format. (Inspired by 9router#2231.) ([#6050](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6050) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(i18n):** auto-detect the browser language on first visit — a pure `detectBrowserLocale()` matcher (exact match, `zh-HK`/`zh-MO` folded to `zh-TW`, language-prefix match, else `null`) plus a client-only `LocaleAutoDetect` component mounted once in the root layout. When no locale cookie is set yet, it reads `navigator.languages`, computes a match against the supported locales, and persists it via the same cookie/localStorage writer `LanguageSelector` already used (extracted to `shared/lib/persistLocale.ts`). (Inspired by 9router#1324.) ([#5979](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5979))
+- **feat(cli-tools):** add **CodeWhale** — the actively-maintained successor to DeepSeek TUI (same author, renamed project) — as a dual dashboard entry alongside the existing "deepseek-tui" catalog entry, so existing DeepSeek TUI users keep a working card while new users are steered to CodeWhale. New `/api/cli-tools/codewhale-settings` route writes `~/.codewhale/config.toml` and keeps the legacy `~/.deepseek/config.toml` in sync. (Inspired by 9router#1761.) ([#5996](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5996))
+- **feat(server):** support reverse-proxy `basePath` deployment via a new opt-in `OMNIROUTE_BASE_PATH` env var (empty by default), using Next.js's native `basePath` support so a deployment behind a reverse-proxy subpath (e.g. `https://host/omniroute/`) works without manual header stripping; the two hardcoded auth-redirect targets in `src/server/authz/pipeline.ts` now prefix with `request.nextUrl.basePath`. Default empty basePath is a no-op for existing root-path deployments. (Inspired by 9router#1810.) ([#5992](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5992))
+- **feat(providers):** add **SumoPod** (`ai.sumopod.com`) and **X5Lab** (`api.x5lab.dev`) OpenAI-compatible BYOK aggregator gateways, wired via the default executor with bearer API-key auth; both use `passthroughModels` with a live `/v1/models` fetcher instead of a hardcoded catalog. Regression guard: `tests/unit/sumopod-x5lab-provider.test.ts`. (Inspired by 9router#1288.) ([#5963](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5963))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Charm Hyper** (`hyper.charm.land`) as a new OpenAI-compatible, bearer-auth API-key gateway provider with a free tier (100 monthly Hypercredits); models resolve via passthrough (`modelsUrl` + live `/v1/models`) since the catalog isn't publicly documented. (Inspired by 9router#2006.) ([#5961](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5961))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Nube.sh** (`ai.nube.sh`) as a new BYOK OpenAI-compatible gateway (LiteLLM proxy), Bearer/API-key auth. Its live model catalog is only reachable with a valid key, so no model IDs are hardcoded — it uses `passthroughModels` + `modelsUrl` for live enumeration. (Inspired by 9router#2294.) ([#5936](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5936) — thanks @whale9820)
+- **feat(providers):** add **b.ai** (`api.b.ai`) as a new OpenAI-compatible BYOK provider, distinct from the existing thebai/theb.ai provider, using passthrough model discovery with no hardcoded model list. (Inspired by 9router#963.) ([#5969](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5969))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Qiniu** (七牛云) AI inference gateway as a BYOK API-key provider — proxies many upstream models (DeepSeek V3/V4, Claude, Kimi, and more) behind a single key, shipping with an empty static seed and relying on `passthroughModels` + the live `/v1/models` catalog instead of a stale hardcoded model id. Regression guard: `tests/unit/qiniu-provider.test.ts`. (Inspired by 9router#911.) ([#5966](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5966))
+- **feat(providers):** port **ModelScope** (Alibaba 魔搭) as a new API-key, OpenAI-compatible provider — verified against ModelScope's own docs that the real production domain is `api-inference.modelscope.cn` (`.cn`, not the upstream PR's `.ai`) and shipped `passthroughModels: true` with an empty seed + `modelsUrl` instead of the upstream PR's static 5-model snapshot, since the open-model catalog moves fast. (Ported from 9router#1764.) ([#5965](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5965) — thanks @tn5052)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Augment (Auggie CLI)** as a new local, no-auth provider that spawns the user's local `auggie` CLI and pipes a flattened prompt via stdin, wrapping stdout as an OpenAI-compatible SSE stream or single JSON body. Auth is delegated to `auggie login` outside OmniRoute (synthetic `noAuth: true` connection, no DB row required); "Test Connection" spawns `auggie --version`. Hardened against the untrusted-input spawn sink: no `shell: true` on Windows (argv passed straight to the OS loader, no metacharacter interpretation), and `model` is validated against the registry allowlist before spawn (rejecting unknown or `-`-prefixed values) with a trailing `--` end-of-options marker. (Inspired by 9router#1200.) ([#5972](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5972) — thanks @chamdanilukman)
+- **feat(providers):** add **NVIDIA NIM image generation** — a dedicated `nvidia-nim` image format/handler (separate host, `ai.api.nvidia.com/v1/genai/<model>`, native NIM body shape) for the 4 FLUX models (flux.1-dev, flux.1-schnell, flux.1-kontext-dev, flux.2-klein-4b), shaping each model's per-model request body (dimension/mode validation, required input image + aspect ratio, optional edit image) and normalizing the NIM response's varying shapes into the OpenAI `{created, data}` shape. (Inspired by 9router#1195.) ([#5971](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5971))
+- **feat(oauth):** import a Codex connection from a raw ChatGPT access token — OmniRoute's only Codex import path previously required both `access_token` and `refresh_token`, leaving no path for a user with only a bare ChatGPT website access token. `createProviderConnection` gains an explicit `access_token` auth-type branch (intentionally never deduped), a new `POST /api/oauth/codex/import-token` route (Zod-validated), and `OAuthModal`'s manual-paste path now detects an `eyJ`-prefixed pasted token and posts it to the new endpoint, mirroring the existing grok-cli raw-token flow. The executor's `refreshCredentials()` already degrades safely to `null` without a refresh token, forcing re-auth on expiry. (Inspired by 9router#1290.) ([#5995](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5995) — thanks @ryanngit)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add a tool-source diagnostics settings toggle — a new Settings → Advanced card lets operators flip the existing `logToolSources` flag from the UI instead of editing the DB row directly; `logToolSources` is added to the `.strict()` `/api/settings` Zod PATCH schema (previously rejected). (Inspired by 9router#1825.) ([#5978](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5978) — thanks @DuyPrX)
+- **feat(dashboard):** collapse and sort provider quota rows by remaining percentage — the expanded quota list is sorted highest-remaining-first and collapsed to the first 3 rows by default, with a "Show N more"/"Show less" toggle when a connection reports more than 3 quotas, keeping at-risk quotas visible above a long list of healthy ones. Sort/slice logic extracted into pure, directly-unit-tested helpers (`sortQuotasByRemaining`, `getVisibleQuotas`). (Inspired by 9router#1919.) ([#5977](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5977))
+- **feat(dashboard):** suggest HuggingFace Hub media models — a new `GET /api/v1/providers/suggested-models` route proxies the public HF Hub models search API (Zod-validated, no token exposed client-side) and `ImageExampleCard` merges the results into the model picker as a selectable chip row for the huggingface provider; also adds a dedicated `huggingface-image` format/handler for HF's raw-image-bytes response. (Inspired by 9router#1633.) ([#5990](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5990))
+- **feat(cli-tools):** add a **Crush** entry to the dashboard CLI-Tools catalog plus a new `/api/cli-tools/crush-settings` route (GET/POST/DELETE) — OmniRoute already shipped a `crush` CLI setup command (`bin/cli/commands/setup-crush.mjs`) but the dashboard catalog had no matching entry; the new route writes to the same canonical `~/.config/crush/crush.json` path so the dashboard and CLI command agree. (Inspired by 9router#1233.) ([#5970](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5970))
+- **feat(providers):** extend Vercel AI Gateway (`vercel-ai-gateway`/`vag`) beyond chat-only to support **embeddings and image generation** — the gateway's OpenAI-compatible `/v1` API also exposes `/embeddings` and `/images/generations`, so entries were added to `EMBEDDING_PROVIDERS` (`embeddingRegistry.ts`) and `IMAGE_PROVIDERS` (`imageRegistry.ts`) modeled on the existing `openai` entries. ([#5968](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5968) — thanks @tantai-newnol)
+- **feat(api-keys):** add per-key **device/connection tracking** — a SHA-256 fingerprint of IP + User-Agent, with a 30-minute TTL and per-key/global caps, tracks distinct client devices seen with each API key (in-memory only, raw IP never stored). A new `GET /api/keys/[id]/devices` route exposes masked device details, and the API Keys dashboard tab gets a "Devices" count badge alongside the existing Sessions badge. This is a new granularity distinct from the existing `maxSessions` cap, which limits concurrent sticky-routing sessions rather than tracking device identity. ([#5998](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5998) — thanks @mugni-rukita)
+- **feat(proxy):** add **Webshare** (`proxy.webshare.io`) as a fourth source in the free-proxy provider framework alongside 1proxy, Proxifly, and IPLocate. `WebshareProvider` paginates the account's `/api/v2/proxy/list/` endpoint, upserts proxies into the shared `free_proxies` table, and tombstones proxies the account no longer lists while never touching rows already promoted into the live proxy pool. Unlike the other sources, Webshare is a paid per-account list, gated on `FREE_PROXY_WEBSHARE_API_KEY`. ([#5993](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5993) — thanks @ricatix)
+- **feat(antigravity):** support custom **Google Cloud project ID** settings from the connection edit modal (Antigravity family). ([#5905](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5905) — thanks @nickwizard)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add a **wildcard-CORS runtime warning** banner (Settings → Authorization) when `CORS_ALLOW_ALL`/`*` origins are in effect, plus a new `docs/security/CORS.md` security guide covering the risk and safer alternatives. ([#5602](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5602), [#5759](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5759))
+- **feat(api):** add a `/v1/audio/translations` endpoint (Whisper-style audio translation), a new `audioTranslation` handler, and translation providers wired into `audioRegistry`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/audio-translations-route.test.ts` (8, incl. no-stack-leak). ([#5809](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5809))
+- **feat(providers):** allow a **custom icon URL** for compatible provider nodes (migration 113 + `nodes.ts` + Zod schema + API routes + catalog + `ProviderIcon` UI). Regression guards: 14 backend + 5 frontend(vitest) + 24 page-utils tests. ([#5815](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5815))
+- **feat(xai):** register a dedicated `XaiExecutor` with reasoning-effort suffix parsing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executors/xai-executor.test.ts` (6). ([#5800](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5800))
+- **feat(webfetch):** support **self-hosted FireCrawl** instances via `FIRECRAWL_BASE_URL`/`FIRECRAWL_TIMEOUT_MS`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executors/firecrawl-fetch.test.ts` (4). ([#5793](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5793))
+- **feat(providers):** add **ClinePass** as a first-class API-key (BYOK) provider — Cline's paid gateway (`cline-pass/*` models, plain Bearer key), distinct from the existing OAuth `cline` provider. Regression guard: 16 clinepass tests. ([#5942](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5942) — thanks @adentdk)
+- **feat(relay):** gate **Bifrost auto-routing** by the provider plugin manifest — only manifest-eligible providers reach the sidecar; ineligible/unknown providers fall back to the existing TS routing path with explicit reasons. Regression guards: 4 provider-plugin-manifest + 11 relay-routing-backend tests. ([#5870](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5870) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(providers):** wire **Claude Sonnet 5** end-to-end across the model pipeline — registries, `modelSpecs`, pricing (×3), cost, Sonnet-family fallback, 1M-context, and static models. ([#5833](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5833) — thanks @ggiak)
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **dashboard (`/dashboard/system/proxy` 500 on every render):** `ProxyRegistryManager` called `useProxyBatchOperations(load)` before the `const load = useCallback(...)` declaration in the component body, so every server render threw a TDZ `ReferenceError: Cannot access 'load' before initialization` and the whole proxy page 500'd (#5918 regression, caught by the release-PR e2e smoke — the PR→release fast-gates never render pages). The hook block now sits after the `load` declaration. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/ProxyRegistryManager-tdz-render.test.tsx` (SSR renderToString — the exact crash mode).
+
+- **server (TRACE/TRACK/CONNECT returned raw 500 on every route):** methods that undici/fetch cannot represent blew up inside Next's middleware adapter (`TypeError: 'TRACE' HTTP method is unsupported.`) as an unhandled 500 (caught by the release-PR dast-smoke Schemathesis negative tests on the new `/api/keys/{id}/devices` endpoint). The raw HTTP method guard now answers a clean 405 + `Allow` header for these methods on any path, before Next sees the request. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dast-method-not-allowed.test.ts` (new case).
+
+- **i18n (auto-detect refreshed every first visit):** `LocaleAutoDetect` (#5979) called `router.refresh()` on every cookie-less first visit — even when the detected browser locale was exactly the one the server had just rendered — re-navigating the page mid-interaction (flaky e2e "execution context destroyed" + a visible flash for every new visitor). It now refreshes only when the detected locale differs from the server-rendered `<html lang>`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/LocaleAutoDetect-refresh.test.tsx`.
+
+- **models (`oc/` alias must reach the no-auth OpenCode provider):** restore the [#2901](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/2901) routing contract after the #5918 transitive-alias change made the registered no-auth `opencode` provider unreachable by any prefix (`oc/` chained through the manual `opencode` → `opencode-zen` slug override and misrouted its combo entries). `resolveProviderAlias` now stops the alias chain as soon as a hop lands on a registered provider id, while keeping #5918's transitivity across alias-only hops and its loop/depth guards. Regression guards: `tests/unit/combo-builder-opencode-prefix.test.ts`, `tests/unit/provider-alias-transitive-5918.test.ts`.
+
+- **providers (Auggie executor EPIPE crash):** a fast-exiting `auggie` CLI (e.g. binary present but immediately failing) delivered `EPIPE` **asynchronously** as an `'error'` event on the child's stdin stream — which a plain try/catch around `stdin.write()` cannot catch — crashing the request instead of surfacing the sanitized CLI error. Both spawn sites now attach a stdin `'error'` handler so the child's own exit/close handlers report the failure. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auggie-executor.test.ts` (deterministic 3/3 locally).
+
+- **dashboard (CoolingConnectionsPanel broke `next build`):** the cooling-connections panel from #6061 imported `Card` from a shadcn-style path that does not exist in this repo (`@/components/ui/card`) and pulled the server DB barrel (`@/lib/localDb`) into a client component — `next build` failed to compile on the release branch. The panel now renders with repo-native markup and reads `formatResetCountdown` from the new client-safe `src/shared/utils/formatting.ts`. Regression guards: `tests/unit/format-reset-countdown.test.ts`, `tests/unit/ui/CoolingConnectionsPanel.test.tsx`. ([#6155](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6155))
+
+- **oauth (Zed "Unknown provider" crash):** adding **Zed** from the providers dashboard threw an unhandled `OAuth GET error: Unknown provider: zed` (500) ([#6041](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6041)). Zed is a **keychain-import-only** provider — it's listed in the OAuth catalog so the UI shows it, but has no OAuth handler, so the generic `/api/oauth/[provider]/[action]` route hit `getProvider("zed")` and crashed. The route now recognizes keychain-import-only providers and returns a clear **400** pointing users at the **Import** button (for both GET and POST OAuth actions), instead of a 500. Regression guard: `tests/unit/oauth-keychain-import-only-6041.test.ts`. (thanks @imblowsnow)
+
+- **fix(providers):** disable the unsupported `thinking` param for `minimax-m2.7` on NVIDIA NIM (the upstream rejects it) ([#6102](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6102)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-minimax-thinking-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(mitm):** add an in-process guard so concurrent MITM server starts no longer race — a second start while one is already in flight is short-circuited instead of double-binding the listener ([#6107](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6107)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-start-guard.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **translator (Responses → Chat Completions):** strip the Responses-API-only `truncation` field before forwarding a `/v1/responses` request to a non-OpenAI Chat Completions upstream ([#6109](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6109)). Strict upstreams (e.g. NVIDIA NIM) rejected it with HTTP 400 `Unsupported parameter(s): truncation`, breaking Codex-style clients routed to those providers. `client_metadata`, `background`, and `safety_identifier` were already stripped — `truncation` was the remaining gap. Regression guard: `tests/unit/responses-strip-truncation-2311.test.ts`. (thanks @TuanNguyen0708)
+
+- **combo (prefer known context capacity over unknown):** when a combo filters out at least one target for exceeding a _known_ context limit, the router now prefers the remaining known-compatible targets over targets whose context metadata is simply unknown, instead of letting unknown-metadata targets be the only survivors. If no known-compatible context target remains, context-only candidates fall back to the normal strategy order. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-context-window-filter.test.ts`. ([#6088](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6088) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+
+- **models (GLM-5.2 context normalization):** stop treating every hosted GLM-5.2 provider alias as the native 1M-context model. Native/bare GLM-5.2 and verified OpenCode / ZenMux routes keep their 1,000,000-token context, while hosted-provider aliases now respect the caps declared in their provider metadata instead of inheriting the native max. Regression guards: `tests/unit/model-capabilities-registry.test.ts`, `tests/unit/models-catalog-route.test.ts`. ([#6091](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6091) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+
+- **providers (Gemini Web):** refresh the Gemini Web cookie handling and model catalog so live Gemini Web sessions keep authenticating and routing to current models. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-web.test.ts`. ([#6095](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6095) — thanks @backryun)
+
+- **providers (Perplexity Web):** refresh the Perplexity Web model catalog to the current set (GPT-5.4/5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.0 / Opus 4.8, GLM-5.2, Kimi K2.6, Nemotron 3 Ultra) and update the internal mode / `model_preference` mappings and thinking variants so requests resolve to live upstream models. Regression guard: `tests/unit/perplexity-web.test.ts`. ([#6106](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6106) — thanks @backryun)
+
+- **dashboard ("Update now" → Internal Server Error):** clicking **Update now** on the dashboard home could crash the page with a blank "Internal Server Error" screen (`Minified React error #31`). The handler POSTs the loopback-only `/api/system/version` auto-update endpoint and, on a non-OK JSON response (e.g. a `403` when the dashboard is reached through a reverse proxy / non-loopback origin), passed the raw error envelope object `{ error: { code, message, correlation_id } }` straight to `notify.error()`, which rendered the object as a React child and threw #31. The update-error path now funnels the body through `extractApiErrorMessage()` (the same safe extractor added in #5340), so a readable string always reaches the toast. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/home-update-error-render-5991.test.ts`. ([#5991](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5991))
+- **fix(onboarding):** route the provider-details link in the onboarding wizard by the node's stable id instead of the composite provider slug, which could point at the wrong provider details page for multi-account/fingerprint nodes. Regression guard: `tests/unit/onboarding-wizard-details-link-6145.test.ts`. ([#6145](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6145) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(cli):** give `setup-claude` a fallback profile generator mirroring `setup-codex`, so profile generation no longer silently no-ops when the primary generator path is unavailable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli/setup-claude.test.ts` (new cases). ([#6138](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6138) — thanks @derhornspieler)
+- **fix(glm):** suppress a leaked `</think>` close marker in the GLM Anthropic transport, which was surfacing the raw reasoning-close tag in visible response content instead of being consumed as part of the thinking-block framing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/glm-think-close-marker-leak.test.ts`. ([#6133](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6133) — thanks @dhaern)
+- **fix(provider-limits):** close a TOCTOU race in quota-recovery clearing by moving the check-then-clear to a CAS (compare-and-swap) primitive in `src/lib/db/providers.ts`, so two concurrent recovery paths can no longer both observe stale state and double-clear/re-lock a connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-limits-recovery.test.ts`. ([#6139](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6139) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **fix(provider-limits):** clear transient rate-limit state (`rateLimitedUntil`, `lastError`, `backoffLevel`) as soon as quota recovers, instead of leaving stale rate-limit fields behind that could keep a now-healthy connection looking unavailable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-limits-recovery.test.ts`. ([#6128](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6128) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **combos (OpenCode/MiMo fingerprint accounts):** expand fingerprint-scoped OpenCode/MiMo accounts into their full per-fingerprint set in the combo builder, which previously showed only the first matching account entry and hid the rest from combo target selection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-builder-fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`. ([#6092](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6092), closes [#6087](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6087) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(auth):** persist quota-preflight account lockouts until the reset window elapses, instead of losing the lockout on process restart and letting a still-quota-exhausted account be selected again immediately. Regression guards: `tests/unit/sse-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/opencode-quota-fetcher.test.ts`, `tests/unit/usage-service-hardening.test.ts`. ([#6090](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6090) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+- **combo (fingerprint-based provider expansion):** expand fingerprint-based providers into per-fingerprint combo targets (`open-sse/services/combo/fingerprintExpansion.ts`) so a combo referencing a fingerprint-scoped provider fans out to every matching fingerprint account instead of collapsing onto one. Regression guards: `tests/unit/combo-fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`, `tests/integration/fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`. ([#6082](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6082) — thanks @pizzav-xyz)
+- **fix (safety-net redirect `reqId` crash):** fix a `reqId` `ReferenceError` thrown inside the safety-net combo redirect path in `src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, remove dead code in `src/domain/quotaCache.ts`, and rename the stray root `DESING.md` to `DESIGN.md`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chat-safetynet-reqid-6097.test.ts`. ([#6097](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6097) — thanks @fix2015)
+- **fix(compression):** send a patch-only body to `PUT /api/settings/compression` from `CompressionHub`, instead of round-tripping the full settings object and risking clobbering fields changed elsewhere between load and save. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/CompressionHub-patch-only.test.tsx`. ([#6077](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6077), closes [#6039](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6039) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(codex):** use `access_token.exp` instead of `id_token.exp` when computing `expiresAt` on Codex auth import, since the `id_token` can expire far sooner than the actual access token, causing imported connections to be treated as expired while still usable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-auth-import-expiry.test.ts`. ([#6084](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6084), closes [#6075](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6075) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(security):** persist the IP allow/block-list configuration (it was resetting to Disabled and clearing configured IPs on every restart/update) and actually enforce it in the authz pipeline (`src/server/authz/pipeline.ts`), where it was previously validated but never applied. Regression guards: `tests/unit/ip-filter-persistence-6131.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/ip-filter-enforcement-6131.test.ts`, `tests/unit/ip-filter.test.ts`. (closes [#6131](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6131), [#6132](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6132))
+- **fix (Claude tool_result adjacency):** reattach an OpenAI-shaped `tool_result` to sit directly adjacent to its originating `tool_use` before translating to Claude's message format (`open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-claude/toolResultAdjacency.ts`), since Claude's API rejects/mishandles a tool result separated from its tool call by intervening messages. Regression guard: `tests/unit/translator-openai-to-claude.test.ts` (new cases). ([#6035](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6035) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(config):** externalize `ws`/`bufferutil`/`utf-8-validate` in `next.config.mjs` so the `copilot-m365-web` executor's WebSocket masking path works at runtime — chat requests through it were silently timing out because the bundler was inlining `ws` instead of leaving it as a real Node dependency. Regression guard: `tests/unit/next-config.test.ts`. ([#6130](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6130), closes [#6062](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6062) — thanks @anki1kr, whose #6098 fix it re-lands)
+- **fix(registry):** update grok-cli model context lengths to match the actual Grok CLI `/context` capacities — `grok-build` 128k→256k, `grok-composer-2.5-fast` 128k→200k — so context-aware routing stops filtering these models out for exceeding a stale, too-low limit. Registry-only. ([#5913](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5913) — thanks @Chewji9875)
+- **fix(providers):** strip an orphan `tool_result` (one with no preceding `tool_use`) on the Antigravity MITM path before translating to OpenAI format, since an unpaired tool result upstream caused request failures. Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-orphan-toolresult-6026.test.ts`. (closes [#6026](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6026), [#6115](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6115))
+- **fix(providers):** emulate OpenAI-style `tool_calls` in the GitLab Duo executor (new `open-sse/executors/gitlabResponses.ts`), since the executor previously didn't emulate tool-call semantics for Duo, breaking tool-using clients routed to GitLab Duo. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-duo-toolcalls-6051.test.ts`. (closes [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051), [#6111](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6111))
+- **fix(429 / accountFallback):** persist the per-account 429 cooldown cascade across the request boundary and classify OpenCode's "Monthly usage limit. Resets in N days." message as a connection-scoped quota exhaustion with an N-day cooldown (instead of a ~5s transient retry), so an exhausted account stops being re-selected until its window resets. ([#6061](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6061) — thanks @KooshaPari / @anki1kr, whose superseded #6086 carried the same day-parser approach)
+- **combo (sibling-model fallback on per-model-quota 500s):** when a combo held multiple models from the same provider (e.g. two Gemini models) and the first returned a server 500, the router retried the same locked model and surfaced a 429 "cooling down" instead of trying the sibling — `markConnectionLevelExhaustion` was wrongly tripped by a model-level 500 for per-model-quota providers (gemini, github, passthrough, compatible), and the retry loop didn't check `isModelLocked` before re-hitting the same model. Both gaps are fixed; the combo now falls through to the untried sibling model. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo/combo-target-exhaustion.test.ts` (21 cases). ([#5976](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5976) — thanks @hartmark)
+- **providers (Cline non-streaming envelope):** Cline can return OpenAI-compatible chat completions wrapped as `{ success, data: { choices, usage, ... } }`; the non-streaming path checked the top-level body for empty content before unwrapping, so a valid wrapped response could be misclassified as malformed/empty. The envelope is now unwrapped immediately after provider-envelope handling, before empty-content detection, usage extraction, and translation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cline-response-envelope.test.ts`. ([#6046](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6046) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **providers (kimi-web, qwen-web):** align the kimi-web model catalog and request-scenario selection with `www.kimi.com`'s live `GetAvailableModels` response, and stop aliasing `qwen3-coder-plus` on qwen-web now that it is present as its own model in the live Qwen web catalog. ([#5915](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5915) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **translator (Antigravity/Gemini tool schemas):** strip `multipleOf` from function-declaration parameters before forwarding to Antigravity/Gemini — it is not part of the Gemini OpenAPI 3.0 schema subset accepted upstream and triggered a hard 400 ("Unknown name multipleOf"). Added to `GEMINI_UNSUPPORTED_SCHEMA_KEYS` so it is stripped at every schema level; `minimum`/`maximum` are unaffected since Gemini accepts them. (Ported from 9router#2309, reported by @abil0321.) ([#6052](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6052))
+- **translator (Kiro system prompt leak):** Kiro/CodeWhisperer has no system role, so system messages were normalized into a bare user turn — the full Claude Code system prompt then appeared as raw user text, polluting model context. System-origin content is now wrapped in `<system-reminder>` tags before merging into the Kiro user message; real user turns are unaffected. (Ported from 9router#2306, reported by @VitzS7.) ([#6053](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6053))
+- **fix(codex):** convert Chat Completions `json_schema` `response_format` → Responses API `text.format` on the Codex path, and preserve an existing `text.format` through verbosity normalization. Regression guards: 48 translator-openai-responses-req + 8 codex-verbosity tests. ([#5933](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5933) — thanks @yusufrahadika)
+- **fix(thinking):** only inject the `redacted_thinking` replay block when `tool_use` is present and thinking is enabled, avoiding a fabricated replay block on plain (non-tool) turns. ([#5945](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5945), [#5953](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5953))
+- **fix(resilience):** honor active **codex session affinity** over per-request reset-aware re-scoring, so an in-flight session sticks to its pinned account instead of being re-scored away mid-conversation. New `src/sse/services/sessionAffinityPin.ts` module. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-session-affinity-reset-aware-5903.test.ts`. ([#5903](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5903), [#5943](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5943))
+- **fix(resilience):** compute per-window `is_exhausted` and honor the quota-exhaustion preflight for **priority combos**, so a combo no longer keeps routing to a target whose current window is already exhausted. New `open-sse/services/combo/quotaExhaustionCutoff.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-priority-quota-exhaustion-cutoff-5923.test.ts`. ([#5923](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5923), [#5941](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5941))
+- **fix(providers):** strip a `/v1` suffix from the base URL unconditionally in both models-discovery paths, avoiding a doubled `/v1/v1/models` fetch error (e.g. Api Airforce). Regression guard: `tests/unit/airforce-v1-double-prefix-5899.test.ts`. ([#5899](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5899), [#5920](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5920) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(api):** relax provider-scoped chat completion validation on `/api/providers/[provider]/chat/completions`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-scoped-chat-completions-validation.test.ts`. ([#5907](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5907) — thanks @nickwizard)
+- **fix(providers):** validate **v0 Platform** (Vercel) API keys via the `/chats` endpoint instead of a probe that rejected valid keys. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-validation-specialty.test.ts`. ([#5954](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5954) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+- **fix(mcp):** auto-recover stale streamable HTTP MCP sessions on `initialize` instead of failing the reconnect. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mcp-session-sweep.test.ts`. ([#5957](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5957) — thanks @Chewji9875)
+- **fix(translator):** enforce strict Anthropic content-block compliance when converting an antigravity → openai request. Regression guard: `tests/unit/translator-antigravity-to-openai.test.ts` (9). ([#5935](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5935))
+- **fix(sse):** strip ANSI/VT100 escape codes from `gemini-cli` stream frames using a ReDoS-safe pattern. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-cli-ansi-sanitization.test.ts` (5). ([#5934](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5934) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(discovery):** resolve a doubled `/v1` discovery path and a `REDIRECT_BLOCKED` probe-loop abort in the model-discovery route. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-route.test.ts`. ([#5904](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5904) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **fix(providers): Perplexity Web now emits real `tool_calls` in streaming mode** — previously only non-streaming requests (`hasTools && !stream`) converted `<tool>{...}</tool>` text into OpenAI `tool_calls`; streaming requests (the default for agentic coding clients) got the raw `<tool>` text as plain `delta.content` and never emitted a `tool_calls` SSE delta. Now mirrors the `chatgpt-web` `toolMode` helpers (`buildToolModeResponse()`/`toolCompletionToSseStream()`, extended with a caller-supplied `idSeed` so tool-call ids stay provider-specific), buffering the completion and emitting a terminal SSE replay carrying `delta.tool_calls` + `finish_reason: tool_calls` regardless of the caller's stream flag. ([#5927](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5927), [#5937](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5937))
+- **providers (openai-family model inference no longer hijacks cataloged models):** `resolveModelByProviderInference()` had an unconditional `/^gpt-/i` heuristic that hijacked any model id starting with `gpt-`/`o1`/`o3` into provider `openai`, even when the id is cataloged under other providers — breaking bare (non-combo) requests for open-weight models like `gpt-oss-120b` (served by fireworks/cerebras/scaleway/byteplus/sambanova/heroku), which don't exist on openai's catalog, producing a 404 with no fallback. The heuristic is now gated on `providers.length === 0` so it only fires for genuinely uncataloged openai-family ids. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gptoss-provider-inference-5852.test.ts`. ([#5852](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5852), [#5938](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5938))
+- **fix(providers): deepseek-web reliability** — auto-refresh the session on `401`/`403`, refresh the v2.0.0 client headers, and fix the token-kind bulk import path. Regression guards: `tests/unit/deepseek-web-autorefresh-401-response.test.ts`, `tests/unit/bulk-web-session-import.test.ts`. ([#5988](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5988) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(api):** guard the shared frontend API client (`handleResponse` in `src/shared/utils/api.ts`) against non-JSON error responses — it previously called `response.json()` unconditionally and read `data.error` directly, throwing an unrelated parse error (or `undefined`) instead of a useful message when an upstream/proxy returned a non-JSON error body. Now routes through `parseResponseBody`/`getErrorMessage` to build a safe message regardless of body shape. Regression guard: `tests/unit/shared-api-utils.test.ts`. ([#5973](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5973))
+- **fix(embeddings):** forward the connection-level proxy configuration to embedding requests — `src/lib/embeddings/service.ts` previously ignored a connection's configured proxy when making embedding calls, so proxy-only network setups leaked embedding traffic outside the proxy. Regression guard: `tests/unit/embeddings-proxy-forwarding.test.ts`. ([#5975](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5975))
+- **fix(resilience):** parse `Retry-After` from a 429's JSON body for cooldown calculation, not just the HTTP header — a new `retryAfterJson.ts` helper extracts a retry-after hint from common JSON error-body shapes and `accountFallback.ts`'s cooldown path now prefers it when the header is absent. Regression guard: `tests/unit/account-fallback-retry-after-json.test.ts`. (Includes #6013's retry-after-json extraction.) ([#5974](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5974) — thanks @KooshaPari)

+- **release close (release-PR one-pass CI sweep):** restore Zod validation on the provider-scoped chat route with a `.passthrough()` schema that keeps #5907's relaxed semantics (t06 route-validation gate); point `/api/keys/{id}/devices`' 401 response at the management error envelope in `docs/openapi.yaml` (Schemathesis schema-conformance); rebaseline `i18nUiCoverage.pct` 77.5→76.8 (~1352 new en.json UI keys from the cycle await the async translation workflow — same shape as the v3.8.39 rebaseline); dismiss 2 CodeQL `js/incomplete-url-substring-sanitization` false positives on unit-test asserts (v3.8.35 precedent).

+- **release close (Phase 0 pre-flight):** align cycle-stale tests with merged behavior — provider count 166→167 (Kenari #6104), Linux-regenerated translate-path golden (+`kenari`), OpenCode quota scope `provider`→`connection` (#6061) — and absorb cycle ratchet drift (file-size caps for `oauth/[provider]/[action]/route.ts` 960, `providerLimits.ts` 998, `chat.ts` 1662, `auth.ts` 2426, with #6158 tracked to restore the oauth-route freeze). The test-masking gate gains a narrowly-scoped `_deletedWithReplacement` allowlist section (deletion is exempt ONLY when the declared replacement test file exists in HEAD — used for `targetExhaustion.test.ts` → `tests/unit/combo/combo-target-exhaustion.test.ts`, which has MORE coverage: 21 cases/52 asserts vs 13/37), plus 5 new gate unit tests and reduction-allowlist entries for the verified-legitimate #5958/#6088/#5816 assert migrations.
+
+- **test (deflake `setup-claude`):** `tests/unit/cli/setup-claude.test.ts` failed ~50% of runs with `Unable to deserialize cloned data due to invalid or unsupported version` at file teardown (all subtests passed), randomly reddening `Unit Tests fast-path (2/2)` / `Fast Quality Gates` across the PR→release queue. Root cause: `node --test` streams each file's report to the parent as V8-serialized frames on fd 1 (stdout), and the CLI helper under test (`syncClaudeProfilesFromModels`) prints progress via `console.log` — that stdout output interleaved with the serialized frames and corrupted the stream. The test now silences the stdout-writing `console` methods for the file's duration (no assertion inspects stdout), making it deterministic (15/15 green locally). ([#5959](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5959)) ([#6021](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6021))
+
+- **API validation:** add a `validatedJsonBody(request, schema)` helper in `src/shared/validation/helpers.ts` that fuses JSON body parsing and Zod validation into a single call, returning either the type-narrowed data or a ready-to-return 400 `NextResponse` with the standard error envelope. Salvaged from the closed refactor PR #5075 (Tier 1 portable helper) with a focused 6-case regression test. Co-authored-by: KooshaPari <KooshaPari@users.noreply.github.com>
+- **repo (Windows case-conflict cleanup):** remove the stale root `DESIGN.md`, which case-conflicted with `design.md` and broke checkouts/clones on case-insensitive Windows filesystems. ([#6140](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6140) — thanks @backryun)
+- **i18n(zh-CN):** translate the CHANGELOG entries and section headings, adopting zh-CN as a fully translated locale alongside the existing supporting docs. ([#6043](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6043) — thanks @studyzy)
+- **docs (env-doc-sync base-red):** document `BIFROST_PORT` in `.env.example` / `docs/reference/ENVIRONMENT.md` — the Bifrost embedded-service merge referenced `process.env.BIFROST_PORT` (default 8080) without documenting it, so `check:env-doc-sync` failed on the release tip and reddened Fast Quality Gates for every open PR→release. Docs-only (`8d7e3e28f`).
+- **test (CI-runner-independent translate-path golden):** normalize OS/arch-derived request headers (`X-Stainless-Os`/`X-Stainless-Arch`, `(OS;arch)` User-Agent segments, and Antigravity's `os.platform()`-derived platform substring) in the provider translate-path golden snapshot, so the test no longer depends on the OS/arch of the CI runner that generated it — a Mac-literal Antigravity UA was failing on Linux CI. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-translate-path-golden.test.ts`. ([#6076](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6076) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **release-green base-reds (#5695 regex + file-size rebaseline):** `tests/unit/ui/quick-start-api-keys-link-5695.test.ts` now tolerates Prettier splitting a multi-line `<Link href=...>` so the `step1Desc` regex matches the `/dashboard/api-manager` link instead of skipping to `step2`'s single-line `/dashboard/providers` link (test was brittle, not the code). Also rebaselines 5 files that grew via already-merged release-tip PRs in `config/quality/file-size-baseline.json` (`ApiManagerPageClient` 3017→3058, `OAuthModal` 969→989, `cliRuntime` 1090→1100, `webProvidersA` 805→809, `deepseek-web.test` 1081→1092), with shrink tracked in #3501. ([#6093](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6093))
+- **release close (LEDGER-4 base-red):** the `cline-pass` provider's `minimax-m3` registry entry was missing `supportsVision`, breaking the LEDGER-4 registry-consistency test (every `minimax-m3` entry must set `supportsVision` to match `lite.ts` — the model is multimodal). Flagged it to match every other `minimax-m3` entry (trae, bazaarlink, cline, ollama-cloud, ...). ([#6003](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6003))
+- **release close (stryker `tap.testFiles` drift):** additional release-green cleanup clearing the `qoder` registry's `minimax-m3` `supportsVision` LEDGER-4 base-red and `stryker.conf.json`'s `tap.testFiles` drift. ([#6012](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6012))
+- **install (pnpm 11+ support):** pnpm 11 introduced `ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS` for native addon packages — without explicit `allowBuilds` approval, packages silently skip their build scripts and OmniRoute fails to start with missing native modules. Sets `allowBuilds=true` for all 13 native addon packages in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` (`@parcel/watcher`, `@swc/core`, `better-sqlite3`, `core-js`, `esbuild`, `keytar`, `koffi`, `libxmljs2`, `onnxruntime-node`, `protobufjs`, `sharp`, `tls-client-node`, `unrs-resolver`) and migrates `onlyBuiltDependencies` from the deprecated `package.json` field to a new `pnpm.json`. (commit 39349da18 — thanks @chirag127)
+- **refactor (Block J hot-path decomposition):** extract pure leaves with no behavior change from the executor, translator, combo, and SSE hot paths — orphaned executor tests moved to top-level so a runner collects them, and `handleComboChat`'s auto-strategy/target-timeout regions split into named helpers. ([#6063](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6063), [#6049](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6049), [#6036](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6036), [#6030](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6030), [#6020](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6020), [#6018](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6018), [#6017](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6017), [#6016](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6016), [#6015](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6015), [#6014](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6014), [#6008](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6008), [#6006](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6006), [#6000](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6000), [#5999](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5999), [#5994](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5994), [#5967](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5967), [#5962](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5962), [#5960](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5960), [#5947](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5947), [#5949](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5949), [#5940](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5940), [#5932](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5932))
+- **chore (quality/CI housekeeping):** rebaseline residual ESLint/cognitive-complexity/file-size drift accumulated over the v3.8.44 cycle, move orphaned executor tests to a top-level location so a runner actually collects them, harden the release pipeline with a test-masking pre-flight gate plus contributors/uncovered helpers, and make the `pr-evidence` FAIL output tell the author to push (a body edit alone does not re-run the gate). ([#5926](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5926), [#5944](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5944), [#5952](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5952), [#6027](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6027), [#5928](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5928), plus a #5975-collateral test hardening pinning a seeded connection to direct egress in route-edge-coverage)
+- **docs (housekeeping):** normalize mixed-language documentation content, restore the OpenAPI coverage ratchet by documenting 9 newly-added routes, record Hard Rule #22 (cross-session safety — `git stash` + in-flight PR bans), and document the compression-engine's upstream sync policy for the RTK/Caveman engines. ([#6105](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6105), [#5955](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5955), [#5948](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5948), plus docs-only commit 926b08aa8)

-As credenciais OAuth embutidas no OmniRoute estão cadastradas **apenas para `localhost`**. Quando você acessa o OmniRoute em um servidor remoto (ex: `https://omniroute.meuservidor.com`), o Google rejeita a autenticação com:
-
-```
-Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch
-```
-
-#### Solução: Configure suas próprias credenciais OAuth
-
-Você precisa criar um **OAuth 2.0 Client ID** no Google Cloud Console com a URI do seu servidor.
-
-#### Passo a passo
-
-**1. Acesse o Google Cloud Console**
-
-Abra: [https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials)
-
-**2. Crie um novo OAuth 2.0 Client ID**
-
-- Clique em **"+ Create Credentials"** → **"OAuth client ID"**
-- Tipo de aplicativo: **"Web application"**
-- Nome: escolha qualquer nome (ex: `OmniRoute Remote`)
-
-**3. Adicione as Authorized Redirect URIs**
-
-No campo **"Authorized redirect URIs"**, adicione:
-
-```
-https://seu-servidor.com/callback
-```
-
-> Substitua `seu-servidor.com` pelo domínio ou IP do seu servidor (inclua a porta se necessário, ex: `http://45.33.32.156:20128/callback`).
-
-**4. Salve e copie as credenciais**
-
-Após criar, o Google mostrará o **Client ID** e o **Client Secret**.
-
-**5. Configure as variáveis de ambiente**
-
-No seu `.env` (ou nas variáveis de ambiente do Docker):
-
-```bash
-# Para Antigravity:
-ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=seu-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
-ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-seu-secret
-
-GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=seu-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
-GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-seu-secret
-```
-
-**6. Reinicie o OmniRoute**
-
-```bash
-# Se usando npm:
-npm run dev
-
-# Se usando Docker:
-docker restart omniroute
-```
-
-**7. Tente conectar novamente**
-
-
-Agora o Google redirecionará corretamente para `https://seu-servidor.com/callback` e a autenticação funcionará.
-
----
-
-#### Workaround temporário (sem configurar credenciais próprias)
-
-Se não quiser criar credenciais próprias agora, ainda é possível usar o fluxo **manual de URL**:
-
-1. O OmniRoute abrirá a URL de autorização do Google
-2. Após você autorizar, o Google tentará redirecionar para `localhost` (que falha no servidor remoto)
-3. **Copie a URL completa** da barra de endereço do seu browser (mesmo que a página não carregue)
-4. Cole essa URL no campo que aparece no modal de conexão do OmniRoute
-5. Clique em **"Connect"**
-
-> Este workaround funciona porque o código de autorização na URL é válido independente do redirect ter carregado ou não.

+- **feat(release):** `changelog.d/` fragments — eliminates the CHANGELOG merge-storm cascade. ([#6783](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6783) — thanks @diegosouzapw)

+
+- **feat(dashboard):** sidebar quick-filter — a search input at the top of the expanded dashboard sidebar (`src/shared/components/Sidebar.tsx`) filters nav sections/groups/items client-side by label as you type, reusing the existing `common.search`/`common.noResults` i18n keys (zero new locale edits) and the shared `Input` `icon="search"` pattern; matching sections auto-expand while searching (bypassing the accordion/pin state) and collapse back to normal once the query is cleared. Pure filtering logic extracted into `filterSidebarSectionsByQuery()` (`src/shared/utils/sidebarSearch.ts`) for isolated unit testing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/sidebar-search-filter.test.ts`, `src/shared/components/Sidebar.search.test.tsx`. (#4013 — thanks @crochabe-cyber)
+- **feat(combo):** `auto/*` combos gain a strict budget-cap fallback policy — `X-OmniRoute-Budget-Fallback: strict` (or the persisted `config.budgetFallback: "strict"`) makes an over-budget request fail fast with `HTTP 402` instead of the previous silent fallback to the globally cheapest candidate, which could still exceed the cap. The default (`cheapest`) preserves existing behavior. Builds on the existing `X-OmniRoute-Budget`/`X-OmniRoute-Mode` per-request controls (#6023/#6024/#6025), consolidated into `resolveRequestAutoControls()`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auto-combo-budget-fallback-3470.test.ts`. (#3470)
+- **Provider/model param filters**: config-driven parameter denylist/allowlist per provider/model with auto-learn from upstream 400s (#6649 — thanks @ThongAccount, closes #6625)
+- **Per-combo reasoning token buffer toggle**: the combo builder now exposes an explicit checkbox for the `#3587` reasoning-model `max_tokens` buffer, defaulting to the existing enabled behavior, so a combo can opt out without hand-editing raw JSON config (#6702 — thanks @xz-dev)
+- **feat(dashboard):** 9router-parity **Routing Strategy** settings card on Settings → Routing, plus a per-provider account-routing override on the provider detail page ([#6678](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6678)) — surfaces the existing account round-robin / sticky-limit knobs and adds a new combo-level sticky round-robin (`comboStickyRoundRobinLimit`, resolved via `resolveComboStickyRoundRobinLimit()` — per-combo → global combo sticky → account sticky cascade) so combo targets can batch calls per target the same way account fallback already does. A new `providerStrategies` setting (Zod-validated map, `src/shared/validation/settingsSchemas.ts`) lets a specific provider override the global `fallbackStrategy`/`stickyRoundRobinLimit` without touching the account-wide default, wired into `getProviderCredentials()` (`src/sse/services/auth.ts`) ahead of the global fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-rr-sticky-9router.test.ts`, `tests/unit/settings-ui-layout-static.test.ts`. (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **feat(icons):** provider logos now resolve local SVG assets first for faster rendering, with a 5-tier fallback chain — local SVG → `@lobehub/icons` React components → `thesvg.org` CDN (external SVG for unknown providers) → local PNG → generic AI icon — replacing the previous LobeHub-first order. Adds dozens of first-party provider SVGs and migrates several bitmap logos (continue/copilot/cursor/deepgram/heroku/openclaw/ovhcloud) from PNG to SVG. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/ProviderIcon-icon-url.test.tsx`. ([#6317](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6317) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **Skill Collector CLI detection**: new `GET /api/skills/collect/detect` + `POST /api/skills/collect/install` (and the `cli-skill-collector` agent skill) detect which coding CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Cline, Hermes, OpenCode, etc.) are installed locally via `getCliRuntimeStatus()`, match them against GitHub agent-skill repos, and plan an install path per tool — replacing the standalone Skill Collector Python app. Both new routes and `GET/POST /api/github-skills` now require management auth (`requireManagementAuth()`) and are loopback-gated (`LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` + `SPAWN_CAPABLE_PREFIXES`) since the detect route spawns a child process per candidate CLI tool (Hard Rules #15 + #17). The `omniroute_github_skills_install` MCP tool now reports the honest `action: "planned"` instead of `"installed"`, matching the REST route (#6294 — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **ClinePass dual-auth**: ClinePass now offers both sign-in methods on its dashboard page — OAuth (reusing the Cline WorkOS flow) as the primary "Connect" path, or a pasted BYOK API key via "Manual API key", instead of only the API-key-only provider shipped in #5942. The registry alias was aligned to `cp` (matching the `OAUTH_PROVIDERS` catalog alias) so `<alias>/<modelId>` routing resolves correctly, the OAuth refresh dispatch now routes `clinepass` to the shared Cline refresh flow, and the duplicate API-key-only catalog entry was removed to keep ClinePass listed once. Regression guard: `tests/unit/clinepass-provider.test.ts`. (#6126 — thanks @hajilok)
+- **feat(oauth):** Kiro/Amazon Q auto-import now supports enterprise **External IdP** ("Your organization") logins via Microsoft Entra/Okta/Auth0/OneLogin/Ping/Google/Cognito — these org-issued tokens are not AWS SSO tokens (no `aorAAAAAG`-prefixed refresh token) and can't refresh through the AWS OIDC/Kiro-social path, so `tryAwsSsoCache()` now detects them (`authMethod`/`provider === "externalidp"`) and refreshes via the org IdP's own `tokenEndpoint` (public-client OAuth2 refresh grant, no client secret), persisting `TokenType: EXTERNAL_IDP` gating so the runtime executor sends the header the AWS CodeWhisperer API requires for these accounts; `tokenEndpoint` is SSRF-guarded against an HTTPS + known-IdP-host-suffix allowlist. (#6363 — thanks @artickc)
+- **Kiro long-lived API key auth**: new `/api/oauth/kiro/api-key` route + `KiroService.validateApiKey` let a Kiro account be linked with a long-lived AWS CodeWhisperer/Kiro API key instead of the interactive OAuth device flow, with live per-account model discovery (`ListAvailableModels`, 5-minute cache) layered over the existing static registry fallback (#6587 — thanks @strangersp)
+- **Chaos Mode**: multi-model parallel/collaborative task execution — dispatches a task to every active provider connection at once (parallel) or chains outputs sequentially so each model builds on the previous one's answer (collaborative), configurable via Dashboard → Chaos Mode (`GET`/`PUT`/`DELETE /api/chaos/config`) and gated per-API-key via a new `chaosModeEnabled` permission (opt-in — disabled by default globally and per key). `POST /api/chaos/run` (dashboard session) and `POST /api/skills/collect/chaos` (external Bearer-token) delegate to a shared `executeChaosRun()` engine (`src/lib/chaos/chaosExecutor.ts`) that dispatches in-process via the established synthetic-Request/route-handler pattern (no network hop, no hardcoded port), with a concurrency cap (max 10 parallel), configurable `max_tokens` (256–128k), a clear error when `stream` is requested, and collaborative-chain info (provider order + input size). Fixes external Bearer-auth bypass and stale config-cache leakage. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chaos-config.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chaos-executor.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chaos-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6728](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6728) — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **feat(cli):** 2 new CLI tool integrations on Dashboard → CLI Tools — **omp** (Oh My Pi) and **letta** — each with binary detection, config apply/reset, and a settings card following the existing tool-card pattern. Both settings routes shell out to `which omp`/`which letta` to detect the local install, so they're loopback-gated (`LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES`, Hard Rules #15/#17) in addition to the shared `requireCliToolsAuth()` management-auth guard every cli-tools route requires, and route errors through `sanitizeErrorMessage()`; `src/lib/db/omp.ts` isolates the `omp` CLI's own local SQLite reads behind parameterized queries. (Note: the original PR also proposed **pi**, **codewhale**, and **jcode** integrations — those three had already shipped via a separate PR by the time this one was reconciled, so only omp+letta landed here.) Regression guard: `tests/unit/db/omp.test.ts`, `tests/unit/cli-tools-auth-hardening.test.ts`, `tests/integration/cli-settings-omp.test.ts`, `tests/integration/cli-settings-letta.test.ts`. ([#6318](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6318) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **feat(providers):** custom models now support a manual **Context Window Override** so an operator can correct a provider's misreported context length (e.g. reports 1M when the real limit is 128K) instead of the model silently getting dropped from combo routing once the wrong value lands in the catalog ([#4125](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/4125) — thanks @rucciva). Reuses the existing Feature-5004 `model_context_overrides` table (`source: "manual"`) — already the priority-0 source `getModelContextLimit()` (the function combo's context-window filter calls) reads ahead of the models.dev/registry/static catalog — so no new resolver logic was needed, only the missing write path: `PUT /api/provider-models` now accepts an optional `contextWindowOverride` (number to set, `null` to clear), `GET` surfaces the current value back on each custom-model row, and the provider detail page's custom-model edit form gained a Context Window Override field + badge. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-context-window-override-4125.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** register OpenRouter as a rerank provider so `openrouter/cohere/rerank-*` models resolve instead of erroring `Invalid rerank model` (#6574 — thanks @rafpigna)
+- **fix(api):** `HEAD` requests no longer hang until client timeout on any route — valid, unknown, authed, or unauthed ([#6400](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6400)), broader follow-up to the route-specific #6517 (`/v1/models`). Root cause: Next.js 16's App Router _route-handler_ pipeline (`next/dist/server/send-response.js`) correctly skips piping a `Response` body for `HEAD`, but its _page_-rendering pipeline (`next/dist/server/pipe-readable.js` → `pipeToNodeResponse`, used for every app-router page/layout render — including the `not-found` boundary any unmatched path falls through to) has no such check and always streams the full rendered body regardless of method; combined with Node's default keep-alive framing this left some clients unsure whether the (implicitly bodyless) `HEAD` response had actually finished. A new `scripts/dev/head-response-guard.cjs`, wired into both the dev/start custom server (`scripts/dev/run-next.mjs`) and the packaged standalone server (`scripts/dev/standalone-server-ws.mjs`) at the same tier as the existing `http-method-guard.cjs`/`peer-stamp.mjs` wrappers, discards any body bytes written for a `HEAD` request and forces `Connection: close` once `.end()` is called — independent of route existence or auth state, satisfying RFC 9110 §9.3.2. Regression guard: `tests/unit/head-request-closes-6400.test.ts`.
+- **feat(dashboard):** Provider Quota page (`Dashboard → Quota`) fills horizontal whitespace before stacking vertically ([#3520](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3520)) — `QuotaCardGrid` previously stacked every provider group in a single vertical `flex flex-col`, and each group's own card grid didn't go multi-column until `md` (`grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 xl:grid-cols-3 2xl:grid-cols-4`). Provider groups now flow into a 2-column CSS multi-column layout on very wide (`2xl`) screens instead of an unconditional vertical stack, and each group's card grid starts at 2 columns immediately (`grid-cols-2 md:grid-cols-3 xl:grid-cols-4`), reaching higher density sooner on narrower-but-not-mobile viewports. Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-card-grid-horizontal-layout.test.ts` (thanks @gdevenyi).
+- **feat(ws):** the live-dashboard WebSocket server now auto-starts in-process (via `instrumentation-node.ts`) across every deployment mode — dev, production, Docker, Electron — with no separate sidecar script; the default WS port moved from 20129 to **20132** to avoid colliding with `API_PORT` in split-port setups, the deprecated `OMNIROUTE_DISABLE_LIVE_WS` env was consolidated into `OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS` (default enabled), and the WS path is now derived from `NEXT_PUBLIC_LIVE_WS_PUBLIC_URL`'s pathname (`/live-ws` fallback) (#6072 — thanks @ianriizky).
+- **feat(compression):** new **omniglyph** engine (context-as-image) — renders system prompt, tool docs, and dense history as compact PNG pages the model reads instead of text (~10× fewer tokens on the converted block; 59–70% end-to-end measured). Works stacked with RTK/Caveman (`stackPriority: 90`) or standalone (`mode: omniglyph`); restricted to Claude Fable 5 over the direct Anthropic route, fail-closed gates with `skip:<reason>` techniques, preview (`stable: false`, off by default) (#6556). Dependency bumped to `omniglyph@^1.0.2` for upstream ReDoS fixes (#6661).
+- **feat(sandbox):** the skill sandbox gained a container-provider abstraction that auto-detects and uses the best native runtime per host — Apple Container (macOS 26+), WSL container (`wslc.exe`), OrbStack, Podman — instead of hardcoding `docker run`, removing the Docker Desktop requirement on macOS/Windows (#6611 — thanks @KooshaPari).
+- **fix(sse):** skip `thinkingConfig` for Gemma models on the OpenAI→Gemini path so OpenAI-shape clients no longer get a 400 from Vertex. (thanks @chy1211)
+- **feat(xai):** route xAI clients to Grok's native `/v1/responses` endpoint instead of the chat-completions bridge. (thanks @ryanngit)
+- **feat(models):** add a Settings → AI "Model Overrides" UI plus `/api/model-capability-overrides` CRUD and a `model_capability_overrides` table, letting operators set a manual max-output-token override per provider/model (#6727 — thanks @xz-dev).
+- **feat(resilience):** operator-configurable account rotation policy — a new `rotationConfig` layer lets operators tune how connections rotate on failure, wired into `accountFallback` (#6763 — thanks @artickc).
+- **chore(cursor): add Grok 4.5 effort/fast model IDs** (#6774 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- **feat(codex):** Codex provider model discovery now fetches the live catalog from `chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/models` using Codex-shaped headers, falling back to a GitHub-hosted model manifest and then to the local static catalog when the live/GitHub sources are unavailable or return an unexpected shape — new `src/app/api/providers/[id]/models/discovery/codex.ts` (normalization, version-gating, merge/enrich against the local catalog) covered by `tests/unit/provider-models-discovery-split.test.ts` and `tests/unit/provider-models-route-codex.test.ts` (#6776 — thanks @JxnLexn).
+- **feat(cursor):** register the Opus 4.8, Fable 5, and Sonnet 5 model families for the Cursor Agent provider so the latest Claude/Fable model ids route correctly (#6779 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- **Changelog fragments (`changelog.d/`)**: PRs now add their changelog entry as a new fragment file (`changelog.d/{features|fixes|maintenance}/<PR>-<slug>.md`) instead of editing `CHANGELOG.md` — two PRs never touch the same file, structurally eliminating the CHANGELOG-eat merge conflicts that forced a re-sync push + full CI re-run after every sibling merge (O(N²) CI runs in a merge-storm). `scripts/release/aggregate-changelog.mjs` (npm run changelog:aggregate) folds fragments into the living section at release reconciliation, and `check:changelog-integrity` now also validates fragment well-formedness. Regression guard: `tests/unit/changelog-fragments.test.ts`.
+- **feat(proxy):** add a latency-optimized proxy rotation strategy that ranks pool entries by measured round-trip latency, extending the existing round-robin/random/sticky proxy-pool selection (#6798 — thanks @iamraydoan).
+- **feat(fusion):** the fusion judge may now draw on its own knowledge and override the panel when every panel answer is wrong or incomplete, instead of being restricted to synthesizing only from panel output (#6804 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **feat(dashboard):** search box on the Playground's raw model `<select>` (#4086) — the shared `ModelSelectModal` (combo builder + CLI-code cards) already had search, but Playground's `StudioConfigPane` model dropdown stayed a flat unsearchable list, unusable once a provider like OpenRouter contributed 50+ models. Typing now filters the dropdown (Turkish-safe accent/case-insensitive match via `matchesSearch`), while the currently selected model always stays pinned in the list even if it no longer matches the query, so typing never silently swaps the active selection. Reuses the existing `common.search` i18n key (already translated in all 42 locales) — no new translation key needed. Regression guard: `tests/unit/playground-model-selection-3731.test.ts` (`filterModelsByQuery`), `tests/unit/ui/playground-model-search-4086.test.tsx`.
+- **feat(usage):** Antigravity/agy quota widget now surfaces the **weekly** window alongside the existing per-model 5-hour window ([#4017](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/4017)) — the weekly limit isn't part of the per-model `retrieveUserQuota` response the fetcher already calls; it only appears in a separate, undocumented `retrieveUserQuotaSummary` RPC that groups models into families ("Gemini Models", "Claude and GPT models") with one weekly bucket per family. A new `usage/antigravityWeeklyQuota.ts` leaf fetches that RPC (cached, best-effort — a failure or unavailable RPC never breaks the existing per-model quotas) and parses the weekly bucket per group into `gemini_weekly`/`claude_gpt_weekly` quota entries, merged into the same `quotas` map the widget already renders generically. Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-weekly-quota-4017.test.ts` (bucket parsing, the alternate `quotaSummary`-nested envelope, and end-to-end merge via `getUsageForProvider`).
+- **feat(codex):** Codex CLI compatibility shim — the Responses API `response.created`/`response.in_progress`/`response.completed` payloads now carry a `model` field (previously absent), and for Codex-CLI-originated requests it echoes the client-requested, effort-suffixed model id (e.g. `gpt-5.5-xhigh`) instead of the bare upstream id (`gpt-5.5`), so the Codex CLI status line/model button shows the active reasoning effort ([#3697](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3697)). `openaiToOpenAIResponsesResponse` (`open-sse/translator/response/openai-responses.ts`) now threads the upstream model into the Responses event objects; a new `isCodexOriginatedHeaders()` (`open-sse/config/codexIdentity.ts`, reusing PR #3481's `originator`/User-Agent detection) makes chatCore's existing opt-in `echoRequestedModelName` (#1311) model-echo pipeline fire automatically for Codex clients regardless of the setting, detected by request headers so it still applies when `codex/gpt-5.5-xhigh` is routed through a combo to a non-codex upstream; `echoModelInObject`/`echoModelInSseLine` (`open-sse/services/responseModelEcho.ts`) now also rewrite the nested `response.model` field the Responses API uses. `/v1/models` still returns `models: []` for Codex (unchanged). Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-effort-model-echo-3697.test.ts`.
+- **Z.ai Web (free web-session provider)**: new `zai-web` web-cookie provider drives the free chat.z.ai consumer chat UI via a pasted browser session cookie, distinct from the existing API-key `zai`/`glm`/`glm-cn`/`glmt` providers (`api.z.ai`) — modeled on the `doubao-web`/`venice-web` cookie executors and the pre-existing `chatglm-web` credential requirement/token-extraction entries. `ZaiWebExecutor` (`open-sse/executors/zai-web.ts`) posts to `chat.z.ai/api/chat/completions` with the cookie forwarded both as `Cookie` and as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`, and normalizes both z.ai's internal `delta_content`/`phase` SSE envelope and a pass-through OpenAI-shaped `choices[].delta` frame into standard chat-completion chunks. Registered in `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS`, `WEB_SESSION_CREDENTIAL_REQUIREMENTS`, the provider registry (`zai-web` entry, GLM-4.6/4.5/4.5V models), and `tokenExtractionConfig.ts` for in-app cookie capture. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executor-zai-web.test.ts` (16 tests — token extraction, frame parsing for both SSE shapes, streaming and non-streaming aggregation, error paths). (#4056)
+- **feat(compression):** update the vendored **GCF** codec behind the **Headroom** engine to spec **v3.2 (nested flattening)** ([#6837](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6837)). Homogeneous arrays whose rows carry nested objects/arrays now tabularize via `>`-prefixed path fields instead of a low-yield per-row fallback, so nested MCP tool-result rows (`meta:{...}`, `tags:[...]`) compact like flat rows. On representative shapes the update takes deeply-nested payloads the old codec left near-uncompressed from ~3% to ~32% vs JSON (k8s pods, `cl100k_base`), with shallow-nested rows seeing a small bump and flat arrays unchanged. Re-vendored from current gcf-typescript (zero runtime deps, MIT, SPDX-marked, generic-profile only); also folds in the `[N]:` inline-array quoting fix and canonical decimal formatting. Round-trip stays lossless (order-insensitive), and the decoder is hardened against prototype pollution (a `__proto__`/`constructor` path segment never mutates `Object.prototype`, and keys shadowing built-ins like `toString` now round-trip correctly instead of misparsing). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression/headroom-smartcrusher.test.ts` (deep-nested + prototype-pollution cases).
+- **feat(providers):** Add GPT-5.6 support across OpenAI API, Codex, and ChatGPT Web, including Codex Max/Ultra efforts, VS Code metadata, Fast-tier credit accounting, curated live discovery, the Codex 0.144.1 client identity, and correct chat routing for models that also support image generation ([#6862](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6862)) - thanks @backryun
+- **chore(providers):** Align emitted Claude Code identity headers, bridge fingerprints, provider profiles, and documented defaults with claude-cli 2.1.207 ([#6862](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6862)) - thanks @backryun
+
+### 🐛 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(dashboard):** the Proxy Registry settings page crashed at runtime (`ReferenceError: poolLoaded/bulkImportOpen is not defined`) — the #6625/#6909 hook-extraction refactors deleted 10 state declarations (`poolLoaded`, `poolSaving`, and the 8-member bulk-import family) while ~30 usages remained; all restored (caught by the release E2E; `typecheck:core` does not cover dashboard TSX — follow-up #7021). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(combo):** `comboStickyRoundRobinLimit` now defaults to inherit (`null`) instead of `1` — the literal default silently shadowed the documented batched round-robin rotation (`stickyRoundRobinLimit: 3`), flipping every round-robin combo to per-request alternation (#6678 follow-up, caught by the release CI). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(ws):** the standalone LiveWS startup script exited 0 without ever listening — its bootstrapped child re-spawned with the import-suppressor `OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS=0` and then honored it as an operator disable (#6072 follow-up, caught by the release CI). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(api):** compression PUT schema accepts every catalog engine. ([#6792](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6792) — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch)

+- **fix(providers):** enrich the model_cooldown 429 body with a `retry_after` ISO timestamp + credential count. ([#6460](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6460), [#6523](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6523) — thanks @chirag127)

+- **fix(oauth):** Trae OAuth client_id embedded via `resolvePublicCred()` (Hard Rule #11). ([#6870](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6870) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(sse):** combo path no longer trips the whole-provider breaker on a plain 429. ([#6868](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6868) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** malformed JSON bodies now return 400 instead of 500. ([#6871](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6871) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(fusion):** judge selected from a surviving panel member when no explicit judge is configured. ([#6869](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6869) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(sse):** combo model lockout honors the parsed upstream quota reset. ([#6863](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6863), [#6866](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6866) — thanks @AgentKiller45)
+- **fix(dashboard):** logs detail modal no longer reopens on first close. ([#6830](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6830) — thanks @MikeTuev)
+- **fix(usage):** honor xAI provider-reported exact cost. ([#6711](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6711) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(kiro):** probe IdC region during profileArn discovery, cross-region (recovers #6099). ([#6840](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6840) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(antigravity):** sanitize Cloud Code safety settings. ([#6839](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6839) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(translator):** defer `content_block_start` until GLM streams the tool name. ([#6730](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6730) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(translator):** strip empty `cloud_base_branch` from Cursor Subagent tool calls. ([#6729](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6729) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(antigravity):** surface aborted Gemini tool calls off `end_turn`. ([#6713](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6713) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(volcengine):** clamp Kimi `max_tokens` to the Ark endpoint cap. ([#6712](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6712) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(codex):** surface capacity errors embedded in 200-OK SSE streams. ([#6710](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6710) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(sse):** skip `thinkingConfig` for gemma models in openai→gemini translation. ([#6708](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6708) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(oauth):** avoid bare-email dedup of Codex OAuth logins. ([#6706](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6706) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(sse):** unwrap bare `{function:{…}}` tools in openai→claude translation. ([#6704](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6704) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(db):** eliminate a redundant `getApiKeyMetadata` call in the embeddings route. ([#6929](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6929) — thanks @oyi77)
+- **fix(db):** `authType` filter support in `getProviderConnections`. ([#6946](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6946) — thanks @oyi77)
+- **fix(i18n):** the provider-detail (`/dashboard/providers/[id]`) visibility + free/paid model filter labels (`showVisibleOnly`, `showHiddenOnly`, `freeFilterAll`, `freeFilterFreeOnly`, `freeFilterPaidOnly`, `hideAllModels`, plus the currently-unused `filterVisible`/`filterHidden`/`filterByVisibility`) rendered as the literal `__MISSING__:<english>` sentinel in 15 locales, including pt-BR ([#6694](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6694)) — `providerText()` (`providerPageHelpers.ts`) checks `t.has(key)` before falling back to clean English, and `t.has()` returns `true` even when the stored value is the `__MISSING__:` sentinel `scripts/i18n/sync-ui-keys.mjs` writes when mirroring keys across locales, so the sentinel rendered verbatim instead of the fallback. Disjoint key set from #6290 (`filterAll`/`filterActive`/`filterError`/`filterBanned`/`filterCreditsExhausted`). All 9 keys now carry real translations across the 15 affected locale files (`it`, `ja`, `ko`, `mr`, `ms`, `nl`, `no`, `phi`, `pl`, `pt`, `pt-BR`, `ro`, `ru`, `sk`, `sv`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-provider-visibility-filter-keys-6694.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(cli):** the dashboard's Claude Code CLI card could report "Not detected"/"Not installed" even when Claude Code was genuinely installed and previously used ([#6701](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6701)) — `getCliRuntimeStatus()` (`src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts`) determined `installed` purely from binary resolution (known install paths + a `where`/`which` PATH search), with no fallback when that lookup fails for reasons unrelated to whether the CLI is actually installed (stale PATH inherited by a long-running/background process, the binary having moved, an install method not yet catalogued, etc.) — even though `~/.claude/settings.json` on disk proves the tool was installed and used before. Upstream 9router's equivalent route already has this exact fallback. A new `withSettingsFallback()` (`src/shared/services/cliInstallFallback.ts`) restores 9router parity: when the binary lookup's own reason is `"not_found"` (never for deliberate security rejections like unsafe/relative env overrides or symlink escapes) and the tool's settings file exists on disk, `installed` now reports `true`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6701-claude-detect-fallback.test.ts`.
+- **fix(cli):** per-agent AgentBridge DNS toggle was broken for 8 of the 9 supported agents, and a failed MITM startup step could orphan the spawned proxy child — `addDNSEntry`/`removeDNSEntry` (`src/mitm/dns/dnsConfig.ts`) always resolved the legacy Antigravity default hosts regardless of which agent's toggle was flipped, so enabling DNS for Cursor/Codex/Claude Code/etc. silently added only `daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com` while the DB recorded `dns_enabled=true` for the selected agent. Both functions now accept an optional `agentId` and resolve hosts via `ALL_TARGETS`; `POST /api/tools/agent-bridge/agents/[id]/dns` passes the route's `id` through and now returns 404 for an id that doesn't match a known target instead of silently falling back. Separately, `startMitmInternal()` (`src/mitm/manager.ts`) now wraps `generateCert()` (log + rethrow), the `provisionDnsEntries()` call, and the PID-file write in try/catch so a mid-startup failure can't orphan the already-spawned MITM child process. On Windows, `addDNSEntries`/`removeDNSEntries` also batch every missing/present entry into a single elevated PowerShell invocation instead of one UAC prompt per host line. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dns-config-generic.test.ts` (agent-specific resolution + batching), `tests/unit/agent-bridge-dns-route-validation.test.ts` (404 for unknown agent id). ([#6338](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6338) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **fix(guardrails):** Vision Bridge's individual-model auto-reroute (route an image-bearing request straight to a vision-capable model instead of describe-then-forward) could bypass a policy-restricted API key's model allowlist/budget ([#6640](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6640)) — `VisionBridgeGuardrail.preCall()` (`src/lib/guardrails/visionBridge.ts`) swaps `body.model` to the best available vision-capable model, but that swap happens in the guardrail pipeline AFTER `chat.ts` already called `enforceApiKeyPolicy()` against the ORIGINAL model, so a key scoped to a narrow `allowedModels` list could still execute against an unvetted (and possibly costlier) vision model the reroute picked. `chat.ts` now re-validates any guardrail-driven model change against the same per-key allowlist (`isModelAllowedForKey`) before honoring it, falling back to the original already-approved model when the reroute target is not allowed. The reroute path also now honors an explicit `settings.visionBridgeModel` operator override (previously ignored, unlike the combo/describe path a few lines below it, which already respects it via `getVisionBridgeConfig`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/guardrails/visionBridge.test.ts` (22 tests). (thanks @herjarsa)
+- **fix(auth):** an API key restricted via `allowedModels`/`allowedCombos` could bypass that restriction entirely over the Codex Responses-over-WebSocket bridge ([#6564](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6564)) — `prepare()` in `src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts` authenticated the WS bridge's API key (`authenticate()`/`authorizeWebSocketHandshake()`) and honored `allowedConnections`, but never called `enforceApiKeyPolicy()`, the same model/combo policy gate the HTTP `/v1/responses` path enforces via `handleChat()` — so a key scoped to e.g. `combo/model-1.0` could still reach a direct Codex model like `gpt-5.5` through this transport, as long as an eligible Codex OAuth connection existed. The bridge's WS auth token arrives via query params (`api_key`/`token`/`access_token`), not a normal `Authorization` header, so a new `enforceCodexWsApiKeyPolicy()` builds an equivalent `Request` carrying an explicit `Authorization: Bearer <apiKey>` header and calls `enforceApiKeyPolicy()` against the CLIENT-requested model, before any Codex-specific model remapping or credential selection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-ws-policy-enforcement-6564.test.ts` (a model-restricted key is rejected 403 before reaching credential selection; a combo-restricted key is rejected 403 requesting a disallowed combo; a key that DOES allow the requested model still proceeds past policy). (thanks @Squawk7777 for the report and an independent fix via #6565)
+- **fix(security):** loopback-gate `/api/middleware/*` so a leaked JWT over a tunnel can't install or trigger a middleware hook — middleware hooks compile + run arbitrary JS via `new vm.Script` on the request hot path (`src/lib/middleware/registry.ts`), the same RCE class as the already-gated `/api/plugins/*`; `/api/middleware/` is now in `LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` so loopback enforcement runs unconditionally before any auth check (Hard Rules #15 + #17). Regression guard: `tests/unit/route-guard-middleware-local-only.test.ts`. ([#6541](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6541)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(startup):** AgentBridge's MITM server no longer fails to start with `ROUTER_API_KEY is required` on a normal install ([#6403](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6403)) — `POST /api/tools/agent-bridge/server` resolved the spawned MITM child's router key from only an explicit `apiKey` body field (never sent by the AgentBridge UI — the schema has no such field) and the `ROUTER_API_KEY` env var (unset by default), so `startMitm()` always received `""` and the child hard-exited, even though OmniRoute already had a usable API key in its own DB. A new `resolveRouterApiKey()` now falls back to `pickApiKeyForInternalUse()` (the same DB-backed selector the combo-health-check / cloud-sync internal probes use), resolving in order: explicit key → `ROUTER_API_KEY` env → an existing DB key. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentbridge-mitm-router-key-6403.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** deploying a Cloudflare relay Worker from Dashboard → System → Proxy pool → Cloudflare relay failed immediately with `Cloudflare Worker upload failed: Content-Type must be one of: application/javascript, text/javascript, multipart/form-data`, even with a valid token/account ([#6416](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6416)) — the Worker-script upload built a native `FormData` and let `fetch` derive the multipart Content-Type automatically, but in production `globalThis.fetch` is patched with `node_modules/undici`'s own fetch (`open-sse/utils/proxyFetch.ts`), whose `FormData`/`Request` classes differ from the runtime's global `FormData` (same cross-realm class mismatch already fixed once for image edits in #3273); passing a native `FormData` instance through undici's patched fetch made it serialize the body as the literal string `"[object FormData]"` with `Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8`, which Cloudflare rejects outright. `buildCloudflareWorkerUploadRequest()` (`src/lib/proxyRelay/cloudflareWorkerScript.ts`) now builds the multipart body as a raw `Buffer` with an explicit boundary and `Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=…` header, accepted verbatim by any fetch implementation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloudflare-worker-upload-content-type-6416.test.ts` + updated `tests/unit/relay-deploy-5128.test.ts`.
+- **fix(security):** SSRF-guard the provider-validation probes so they can no longer be used as an open relay to cloud-metadata endpoints — `directHttpsRequest()` (web-cookie / NVIDIA / Z.AI validation, all with a caller-controllable `baseUrl`) ran with `guard:"none"` + `allowRedirect:true`; it now applies `getProviderValidationGuard()` (default `block-metadata`: LAN/localhost allowed, `169.254.169.254`/link-local IMDS rejected, opt-out via `OMNIROUTE_ALLOW_PRIVATE_PROVIDER_URLS`) and `allowRedirect:false` so a provider can't 3xx-redirect the probe to metadata past the initial-URL guard. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-validation-ssrf-guard.test.ts`. ([#6542](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6542)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(startup):** AgentBridge's MITM proxy served a mismatched cert for 3 of the 4 antigravity/cloudcode-pa hosts it terminates TLS for, breaking interception ([#6494](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6494)) — `src/mitm/server.cjs`'s `TARGET_HOSTS` decrypts all 4 hosts locally (`daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`, `cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`, `daily-cloudcode-pa.sandbox.googleapis.com`, `autopush-cloudcode-pa.sandbox.googleapis.com`), but `src/mitm/cert/generate.ts`'s self-signed cert only carried a SAN entry for the first host — a request to any of the other 3 got served a cert whose CN/SAN didn't match (confirmed via `curl -k https://cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com/` showing `CN=daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`). `generateCert()` now sources its host list from `ANTIGRAVITY_TARGET.hosts` (`src/mitm/targets/antigravity.ts`, the single authoritative registry already kept in lock-step with `server.cjs`/`dnsConfig.ts`/`mitmToolHosts.ts` by their own drift tests) and emits a SAN entry for all 4 hosts instead of hard-coding a second, incomplete copy. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentbridge-antigravity-cert-hosts-6494.test.ts` (asserts the host list covers all 4 hosts and that the real generated cert's SAN includes each one).
+- **fix(resilience):** a `priority` combo never fell back when a target masked credit/quota exhaustion behind an HTTP 200 ([#6427](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6427)) — `validateResponseQuality()` (`open-sse/services/combo/validateQuality.ts`) only inspected the response body's top-level `error` field when `choices` was ALSO missing/empty (the narrower #3424 empty-completion case); a masked 200 that echoed a non-empty stub `choices` alongside a structured error object, or a known exhaustion phrase (e.g. "insufficient credits", "quota exceeded") in the error envelope, slipped through as "valid" and the combo kept returning the dead target's response forever instead of failing over. The quality check now inspects the error envelope — a top-level OpenAI-shape `error` object, or a bounded, case-insensitive exhaustion-phrase match against `error.message`/`error.code`/`error.type`/top-level `message`/`detail` — unconditionally, before any shape-specific branch, and regardless of whether `choices`/`output` also look structurally present. The check never inspects `choices[].message.content`, so a legitimate completion that merely mentions "quota" or "credits" in assistant prose is not misclassified. Regression guard: `tests/unit/masked-200-exhaustion-fallback-6427.test.ts`.
+- **fix(security):** fail-closed CORS for the cookie/session-authed cloud-agent management routes — `getCloudAgentCorsHeaders()` reflected any caller's `Origin` and paired it with `Allow-Credentials: true` (a CSRF/exfil hole); it now defers to the central allowlist (`resolveAllowedOrigin`), echoes only an allowlisted origin with `Vary: Origin`, and emits `Allow-Credentials` only for an explicitly allowlisted origin — never for a `CORS_ALLOW_ALL` wildcard echo. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloud-agent-cors-failclosed.test.ts`. ([#6543](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6543)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(compression):** adaptive-compression ladder ranked 6 real catalog engines (`ccr`, `ionizer`, `relevance`, `llmlingua`, `llm`, `read-lifecycle`) as if they didn't exist ([#6533](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6533)) — `ladder.ts`'s `AGGRESSIVENESS` and `REDUCTION_FACTOR` maps only covered the 7 engines wired into `DEFAULT_LADDER` (session-dedup/rtk/headroom/lite/caveman/aggressive/ultra); every other engine registered in `open-sse/services/compression/engines/index.ts` — including `ccr`/`llmlingua`, which the ladder doc comment already says are intentionally addable via `ladderOverride` — fell through to `aggressivenessOf()`'s `?? 0` default (same rank as `"off"`) and `expectedReductionFactor()`'s generic `?? 0.9` fallback, so `floor`-mode escalation could not rank or escalate past them once added to a custom ladder. Both maps now carry entries for all 6 missing real engines, rescaled ×10 (`off:0` … `ultra:70`) and placed by each engine's documented `stackPriority` (`ionizer` between `rtk`/`headroom`, `relevance` before `caveman`, `llmlingua`/`llm` between `aggressive` and `ultra`, etc.); `mcpAccessibility` — named in the report — is not a registered `CompressionEngine` (it's a separate MCP tool-response truncation mechanism) and was correctly left out. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ladder-engine-maps-6533.test.ts` (asserts every id from `listCompressionEngines()` ranks above `"off"` with a non-default reduction factor). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** tool-call arguments could render as `[object Object]` sequences instead of the real JSON through the `/anthropic` (Anthropic-shape `/messages`) routing path ([#6459](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6459)) — `appendToolCallArgumentDelta()` (`open-sse/utils/toolCallArguments.ts`), the shared accumulator the streaming `openai-to-claude` response translator, `openai-responses` translator, and `responsesTransformer` all call to build up a tool call's `arguments`/`input_json_delta` buffer, treated any non-string `incoming` fragment as an empty string. Some upstreams deliver the full `tool_calls[].function.arguments` value as an already-parsed JSON object/array instead of the OpenAI-contracted JSON-encoded string; the old code silently discarded that fragment, leaving `tool_use.input` empty, and left downstream buffers open to a plain string coercion of the object (`[object Object]`) once client-side concatenation kicked in. `appendToolCallArgumentDelta()` now `JSON.stringify()`s a non-string, non-null object/array fragment into a valid JSON fragment instead of dropping it, so the assembled `partial_json` always parses back into the original structured value. Regression guard: `tests/unit/anthropic-toolcall-args-6459.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(providers):** `fusion` combo returned the opaque `"All fusion panel models failed"` 503 even when only a minority of panel members were actually cooling down / rate-limited, and a user-supplied `fusionTuning.minPanel=1` was silently overridden ([#6454](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6454)) — `handleFusionChat()` hard-clamped the quorum floor via `Math.min(Math.max(2, cfg.minPanel), panel.length)`, so an operator-configured `minPanel=1` never took effect: `collectPanel()`'s straggler-grace timer only starts once `ok >= minPanel`, and with the floor forced to 2 a single fast success plus N slow-failing stragglers never reached quorum, so the panel sat waiting instead of degrading to the survivor. Per-member failure reasons (`straggler_dropped`/`timeout`/`threw`/`status_XXX`/`empty_content`/`unparseable`) were also logged server-side but never surfaced in the 503 body, leaving operators unable to tell a rate-limit fan-fail from a broader outage. Fixed by honoring `Math.max(1, cfg.minPanel)` and threading a `failures: Array<{ model, reason }>` collector into the 503 message (`model=reason` per entry) — production fix already merged via #6521; this entry backfills the missing CHANGELOG bullet and adds an 11-member, `fusion-free`-scale regression test matching the original repro shape (a cooling minority must not sink a healthy majority; a genuinely all-failed panel still returns the documented 503). Regression guard: `tests/unit/services/fusion-min-panel-and-failure-detail.test.ts` + `tests/unit/fusion-partial-panel-failure-6454.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(providers):** `fusion` combo strategy silently returned a panel member's raw answer instead of the configured `config.judgeModel` synthesis ([#6455](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6455)) — `handleFusionChat()`'s single-survivor "degrade gracefully" path (added for #6454) returned the lone panel answer directly whenever only one panelist succeeded, regardless of whether an explicit `judgeModel` was configured; with the default `minPanel: 2` and a 2-model panel, any single flaky/rate-limited panelist forced this path on every request, so the configured judge (e.g. `auto/claude-opus`) was never invoked and the client-visible `.model` reflected whichever panelist happened to survive. The judge is now still invoked to synthesize a lone surviving answer whenever `judgeModel` is explicitly configured; the cheap direct-answer shortcut is kept only for the implicit case (no `judgeModel` set, where the "judge" is just `panel[0]`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/fusion-judge-model-6455.test.ts` + updated `tests/unit/combo-fusion-strategy.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(combo):** sanitized diagnostic trace on an auto-combo terminal failure — instead of an opaque 503, a terminal combo failure now returns a whitelist-projected trace (candidate pool size, attempted count, excluded provider/reason codes, attempt order, and a terminal-reason code) via the new `errorResponseWithComboDiagnostics()`/`sanitizeComboDiagnostics()` in `open-sse/utils/error.ts` — provider/model ids and enumerated reason codes only, never keys/tokens/bodies, length- and count-capped. A reasoning-budget-exhausted panel now returns an actionable "increase max_tokens" message rather than a blind retry-limit 503. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-diagnostics-trace.test.ts`. ([#6545](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6545)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** image/diffusion models discovered from an upstream catalog (e.g. HuggingFace's live `/v1/models`) are no longer advertised as chat models ([#6457](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6457)) — the chat catalog builder defaulted synced models with no modality info to `endpoints: ["chat"]`, so `huggingface/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0` showed up in the chat `/v1/models` listing and returned `400 "not a chat model"` when called. `catalog.ts` now skips any synced model already registered as an image model for that provider (via the new `isRegisteredImageModel()`), leaving `getAllImageModels()` to list it with the correct `type: "image"`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/image-model-not-in-chat-catalog-6457.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** combo session stickiness never released a pin on a credits-exhausted/banned/expired account, permanently defeating failover for that conversation ([#6692](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6692)) — `applySessionStickiness()` (`open-sse/services/combo/sessionStickiness.ts`) gated the sticky pin only on 5h/weekly usage-percentage headroom, which is orthogonal to account availability: a `credits_exhausted`/`banned`/`expired` connection, or one still inside its `rateLimitedUntil` cooldown, reports perfectly healthy headroom, so the pin was force-promoted back to the front of the target list on every subsequent turn. `clearStickyBinding()` also had zero call sites in `combo.ts`'s failure paths, so a quality-validation-rejected 200 (a masked daily-cap refusal) never released the pin either. The gate now also resolves the bound connection's terminal status/cooldown via a new injectable fetcher seam (fail-open on lookup errors, mirroring the existing saturation fetcher), and `combo.ts`'s two dispatchers (`handleComboChat`/`handleRoundRobinCombo`) release the pin immediately at both their connection-exhaustion classification point and their quality-validation-failure branch via the new `releaseStickyPinOnFailure()`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6692-sticky-terminal.test.ts` + extended `tests/unit/combo-session-stickiness.test.ts`.
+- **fix(test):** replace the bare `expect(true).toBe(true)` tautology in `playground-api-tab.test.tsx`'s SSE test and close the `check:test-masking` gap that let it slip through for a full cycle ([#6404](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6404)) — a prior pass (#6548) had already swapped the literal to `expect(sendBtn).toBeDefined()`, but that stayed just as vacuous: the test's fetch mock returned an empty `/v1/models` list, so `ApiTab`'s Send button is always `disabled` (`!selectedModel`) and the SSE branch never runs — the "SSE infra is verified" comment was never true. The test now mocks a real model, drives the model `<select>` to enable Send, asserts `sendBtn.disabled === false` before clicking, and asserts the streamed SSE delta (`"Hello!"`) actually reached the response editor. Root cause on the detector side: `check-test-masking.mjs`'s tautology subcheck only compares base-vs-HEAD counts within a PR's own diff (`headExtTaut > baseExtTaut`) and no-ops locally when `GITHUB_BASE_SHA`/`GITHUB_BASE_REF` are unset ("sem base ref — pulando") — so a tautology merged once, or checked with a bare local run, was invisible forever after. Added a new always-on, PR-independent absolute-floor scan (`scanBareTautologies` + `countBareTautologies`) over every git-tracked test file for the bare `expect(true).toBe(true)` / `assert.equal(1,1)` / `assert.strictEqual(1,1)` patterns specifically (deliberately excluding `assert.ok(true)`, which has ~15 pre-existing verified-legitimate try/catch-fallback uses repo-wide and stays governed by the lenient diff-only subcheck) — verified zero pre-existing hits repo-wide once this file was fixed, so the new floor is safe to enforce unconditionally. Regression guard: `tests/unit/check-test-masking.test.ts` (new `scanBareTautologies`/`countBareTautologies` cases) + `tests/unit/ui/playground-api-tab.test.tsx`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(oauth):** Codex/ChatGPT (and every other OAuth provider) connection stays stuck showing "Auth Failed" even after a genuinely successful token refresh ([#6352](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6352)) — `updateProviderCredentials()` (the shared `onPersist` callback for the manual "Refresh token" route, the reactive per-request refresh in `chat.ts`, and the Codex/Claude auth-file importers) correctly reused the stored `refresh_token`, persisted the new `access_token`, and replaced a rotated `refresh_token`, but never cleared the stale `testStatus`/`lastError*`/`errorCode` fields left over from a prior expired/invalid refresh or upstream 401/403 — only the separate background health-check sweep did that clearing. A successful refresh now resets `testStatus` to `"active"` and clears `lastError`, `lastErrorAt`, `lastErrorType`, `lastErrorSource`, and `errorCode` (an explicit `testStatus` from the caller still wins). Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-oauth-refresh-persist-6352.test.ts`.
+- **perf(health):** short-TTL (1s) cache for the frequently-polled `GET /api/monitoring/health` payload — rebuilding it every request (DB reads + status aggregation across 8 subsystems) was wasteful under rapid polling; the cache stays near-real-time and is invalidated immediately on `DELETE` (circuit-breaker reset) so a manual reset is reflected at once. Regression guard: `tests/integration/monitoring-health-cache.test.ts`. ([#6553](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6553)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(resilience):** `headroom` combo routing did not always select the Codex account with the most free quota ([#6379](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6379)) — `orderTargetsByHeadroom` (`open-sse/services/combo/quotaStrategies.ts`) already loaded the per-connection DB snapshot (with decrypted credentials) via `expandTargetsByQuotaAwareConnections`, but discarded it before calling `getSaturation`; for Codex, `fetchCodexSaturation` forwards straight to `fetchCodexQuota(connectionId, connection)`, which needs `connection` (or a prior `registerCodexConnection()` call, which never happens before headroom ranking runs) to read `accessToken` — so it returned `null` for every candidate, saturation failed open to `0` across the board, and ranking fell back to the original combo order regardless of actual free quota. `getSaturation()` and the headroom `SaturationFetcher` seam now accept and thread the loaded connection snapshot through to `fetchCodexQuota`. Kilo's dup flag vs #5903 was a false positive — that issue is about session-sticky reset-aware/least-used selection, not headroom's Codex saturation lookup. Regression guard: `tests/unit/headroom-codex-quota-snapshot-6379.test.ts`. (thanks @eidoog)
+- **fix(providers):** custom models a provider actually has are no longer dropped from the Free Provider Rankings when both **"Configured only"** and **"Available only"** filters are applied ([#6368](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6368)), follow-up to #6150 — `freeProviderRankings.ts::getProviderModels()` only ever walked the static `open-sse/config/providerRegistry.ts` catalog, so a user-added custom model (e.g. a Puter `claude-fable-5` model saved as "Claude Fable 5") never entered the candidate model list the ranking scores against, and could never survive the #6150 configured/available filters even when actually configured and available. It now additively merges the provider's custom models (`db/models.ts::getCustomModels`) into that candidate list via a new pure, de-duping `mergeProviderModels()` helper, before scoring/filtering runs — catalog free/paid filtering elsewhere is untouched. Regression guard: `tests/unit/free-provider-rankings-custom-models-6368.test.ts`. (thanks @shabeer)
+- **fix(playground):** accept a valid dashboard session for `GET/POST /api/playground/presets` under `REQUIRE_API_KEY=true` — the Playground page calls this route with a cookie/session and no API key, which previously 401'd the authenticated dashboard; `checkAuth()` now accepts a management/dashboard session (`requireManagementAuth`) as an alternative to an API key, while a presented API key must still be valid and the anonymous-allowed default is preserved. Regression guard: `tests/integration/presets-dashboard-auth.test.ts`. ([#6554](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6554)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** `cloudflare-ai` no longer silently drops image/non-text content parts ([#6390](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6390)) — `transformRequest()`'s `flattenContent()` (added for #2539 to satisfy the Workers AI `/ai/v1/chat/completions` plain-string `content` requirement) mapped any non-text OpenAI content part (e.g. `image_url`) to `""` and joined the rest, so a request carrying an image quietly went out as text-only with the attachment gone and no error surfaced. It now throws a clear error on the first non-text part instead of dropping it silently, which the existing top-level `chatCore.ts` catch already routes through `buildErrorBody()`/`sanitizeErrorMessage()` (same pattern as `buildUrl()`'s missing-Account-ID error). Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloudflare-ai-image-parts-6390.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** stop Antigravity connections from falsely reporting **all-accounts quota-exhausted** ([#6295](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6295)) — `genericQuotaFetcher.ts::percentUsedForQuota()` ignored the `fractionReported` flag and defaulted an unreported model's `remainingPercentage` to 0, which computed as 100% used; since `convertUsageToQuotaInfo()` takes the worst-case window across a connection, a single model with no reported fraction dragged the whole account into `limitReached` and `quotaPreflight` skipped it. `percentUsedForQuota()` now returns `null` (unknown, window ignored) whenever `fractionReported === false`, before falling back to `remainingPercentage`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/generic-quota-fetcher.test.ts`.
+- **fix(fusion):** the fusion judge no longer replays a panel member's answer via an idempotency-key collision — fusion's panel + judge sub-requests re-enter `chatCore` sharing the client's headers, so they derived the same `Idempotency-Key`/`x-request-id` and a panel answer saved under the key was replayed by the judge's check ~1ms later (inside the 5s window), returning a panel member's answer instead of the judge synthesis (observed live on `nexa/conversation-fusion`). `composeIdempotencyKey()` now namespaces the key by target provider/model + a digest of the request messages, so sub-requests can't collide while a genuine client retry (same key/model/body) still replays. Regression guard: `tests/unit/idempotency-fusion-collision.test.ts`. ([#6558](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6558)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** grok-cli (Grok Build) now strips `reasoning_effort`/`reasoning` before forwarding the request ([#6288](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6288)) — Claude Code sends `reasoning_effort` on every request (routing the Opus slot), which Grok Build's upstream chat-proxy endpoint rejects with a 400; `transformRequest()`'s existing `UNSUPPORTED` sampling-param strip list (#5273) never covered it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/grok-cli-reasoning-strip-6288.test.ts`.
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute serve` no longer hangs silently on a readiness timeout ([#6321](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6321)) — the child server's stdout was piped to `"ignore"` whenever `--log`/`OMNIROUTE_SHOW_LOG` wasn't set (the default), discarding any debug output, and `runWithSupervisor`'s `waitForServer(...).then((up) => { if (up) {...} })` had no `else` branch, so a boot that never became ready produced zero further output after "⏳ Starting server...". Stdout is now buffered alongside stderr (`ServerSupervisor.getRecentLog()`), and a timeout prints a clear diagnostic plus the buffered output instead of staying silent. Does not by itself explain why boot never completes on a given machine — see the issue for further reproduction. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli-serve-readiness-timeout-6321.test.ts`.
+- **fix(pricing):** Pricing Sync dashboard no longer stuck on "Next Sync: Never" / "Synced Models: 0" ([#6325](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6325)) — `pricingSync.ts` kept sync state (`lastSyncTime`, `lastSyncModelCount`) in module-level vars, but the background periodic sync (`instrumentation-node.ts`) and the dashboard status route (`/api/pricing/sync`) each import the module from separate Next.js standalone webpack chunks, giving each its own independent state; `getSyncStatus()` read the (empty) API-route instance's vars. Sync status is now additionally persisted to a new `pricing_sync_status` `key_value` namespace and `getSyncStatus()` falls back to it when the local module instance never ran a sync itself. Regression guard: `tests/unit/pricing-sync-cross-instance.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** stop spuriously 403-ing "Invalid request origin" on `POST /api/providers/health-autopilot/actions` for Docker/LAN dashboard requests ([#6277](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6277)) — the route carried a duplicate per-route `validateBrowserMutationOrigin` check re-added by the v3.8.42 release squash after PR #5278 centralized origin enforcement in the authz pipeline; the pipeline strips `PEER_IP_HEADER` before forwarding, so the stale duplicate check could no longer resolve the LAN "direct-local-host" candidate and rejected legitimate same-origin LAN mutations (e.g. clicking "remove cooldown" when accessed via a LAN IP). Removed the duplicate check — origin validation is now solely enforced by the centralized pipeline check, which already handles this case correctly. Regression guard: `tests/unit/serial/provider-health-autopilot.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** a bare, unrecognized `403` from a no-credential (`authType:"none"`) provider like mimocode or theoldllm no longer permanently bans the connection ([#6315](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6315), [#6345](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6345)) — `classifyProviderError()`'s 403 branch only exempted `apikey` providers from the terminal `FORBIDDEN` classification, so these free/stateless proxies (no real account/credential to revoke) fell through to `FORBIDDEN` on the first unmatched 403 and got `isActive:false, testStatus:"banned"` with no cooldown or retry. The exemption now also covers `authType:"none"` providers, returning `null` (recoverable) so the existing connection-cooldown/retry layer handles it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/errorClassifier-noauth-403-6315.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** the **Auggie (Augment CLI)** executor no longer fails on Windows with `spawn EINVAL` ([#6304](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6304)) — the global-npm install exposes `auggie` as a `.cmd` shim, which Node's `child_process.spawn` cannot launch on win32 without `shell: true`. Both spawn sites (streaming + the `auggie --version` test) now go through a shared `buildAuggieSpawnOptions()` that sets `shell: process.platform === "win32"`; the argv (built by `buildAuggieArgs()` with a registry-validated `model` and a trailing `--` end-of-options marker) is unchanged, so the argument-injection surface stays closed on non-Windows. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auggie-win32-spawn-6304.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** the dashboard **"Test model"** action is now a clean connection test ([#6240](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6240)) — `modelTestRunner` sent its probe request without an explicit compression override, so whenever the operator's global `compression.enabled` flag was on the test call inherited compression (and any Output-Styles system prompt), polluting the result. The internal test requests now send `X-OmniRoute-Compression: off`, and `chatCore` honors an explicit `off` header even when `compression.enabled` is globally true. Regression guards: `tests/unit/model-test-runner-compression-off-6240.test.ts`, `tests/integration/test-model-compression-off-6240.test.ts`.
+- **fix(startup):** an update/restart could crash the whole server at boot with `TypeError: Cannot create property 'message' on string 'Database closed'`, masking the real failure and 500-ing every request until manually restarted ([#6560](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6560), plausibly the root cause of #6594's post-upgrade 500) — `driverFactory.ts::preInitSqlJs()` cached its sql.js WASM adapter per file path in a `globalThis`-backed map for idempotency, but never checked whether the cached adapter had since been closed (e.g. by `gracefulShutdown`/`resetDbInstance` racing a reload); reusing that dead handle made the very next query throw sql.js's own bare string `"Database closed"` (not an `Error`) straight out of `instrumentation-node.ts`'s previously-unguarded `ensureDbInitialized()` call, and Next.js's internal `registerInstrumentation()` wrapper unconditionally does `err.message = ...` on whatever `register()` rejects with — assigning `.message` on a primitive string throws in strict mode, so the secondary `TypeError` is what actually crashed the process. Fixed in two parts: `preInitSqlJs()` now evicts a closed cached adapter and creates a fresh one instead of returning it; a new `ensureDbReadyForBoot()` wraps the DB-init call, normalizes any non-Error throw via `normalizeBootError()`, and retries once specifically for a transient "database closed" message (now succeeding against the fresh adapter) before re-throwing anything else as a real `Error`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/instrumentation-database-closed-6560.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/keys` no longer hangs 20–90+ seconds on a fresh install, even with valid auth ([#6570](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6570)) — `cloudEnabled` defaults to `true` in `src/lib/db/settings.ts::getSettings()` on any install with no persisted settings row (i.e. every fresh install), so the create-key handler's unconditional `await syncKeysToCloudIfEnabled()` always attempted a real outbound `fetch()` to `CLOUD_URL` via `syncToCloud()`; when that endpoint is unset/unreachable/slow, the HTTP response blocked until the request settled or timed out — unlike sibling routes (`POST /api/keys/:id/regenerate`, `GET /api/combos`), which never touch this side effect at all. `src/app/api/keys/route.ts` now dispatches `syncKeysToCloudIfEnabled()` fire-and-forget (`void`) instead of awaiting it; its internal try/catch already logs failures, so cloud sync still runs, it just no longer blocks the response. Regression guard: `tests/unit/api-keys-create-no-hang-6570.test.ts` (asserts the route resolves in well under 2s even when the Cloud-sync `fetch()` is stubbed to never settle) + updated `tests/integration/api-keys.test.ts` (the pre-existing "triggers cloud sync"/"still succeeds when cloud sync fails" tests, which previously hung indefinitely on this exact path, now await the fire-and-forget sync tick before asserting).
+- **fix(api):** editing any existing OpenAI Codex provider connection in the dashboard returned "Invalid request" and the edit could never be saved ([#6562](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6562)) — `createProviderConnection()` (`src/lib/db/providers.ts`) auto-increments a new connection's `priority` to `MAX(priority)+1` per provider with no upper bound, and OAuth-imported connections (Codex `codex-auth/import` / `import-bulk`, up to 50 accounts per call, callable repeatedly — the standard Codex bulk-account-rotation workflow) never pass through `createProviderSchema`'s Zod validation at all, so nothing ever capped that value; `EditConnectionModal`'s `handleSubmit` always resends the connection's current `priority` unchanged on every save, and `updateProviderConnectionSchema` capped `priority`/`globalPriority` at `max(100)` — a UI-only ceiling the create path never enforced — so the first edit of any connection whose priority had already grown past 100 (routine once a Codex account count exceeds 100) failed validation regardless of which field the user actually changed. Raised the ceiling to `max(100_000)` on both fields — still bounded (a genuinely out-of-range value is still rejected), just wide enough to accept priorities the app itself already produces. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-connection-edit-6562.test.ts` (a Codex OAuth connection whose priority already exceeds the old 100 cap now validates + persists on edit; a control payload with a still-genuinely-invalid priority is still rejected with "Invalid request").
+- **mimocode**: rotate accounts on MiMoCode's rate-limit-style 400s (body-classified) instead of failing on the first account; malformed 400s still fail fast with the real upstream error (#6648 — thanks @pizzav-xyz)
+- **fix(cli):** compression CLI REST fallback now reads/writes the canonical `defaultMode` field (surfaced as `strategy`) instead of a nonexistent `engine` key, and table output renders nested objects as JSON instead of `[object Object]` (#6571 — thanks @charleszolot)
+- **fix(providers):** web-cookie providers without a `providerRegistry.ts` entry (`lmarena`, `gemini-business`, `poe-web`, `venice-web`, `v0-vercel-web`) now report `unsupported: true` instead of silently "OK" ([#6309](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6309)) — `validateWebCookieProvider()` (`src/lib/providers/validation.ts`) previously required a registry entry and returned "Provider not found in registry" for these; a fallback to `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS[provider].website` was proposed, but live verification showed the `${website}/models` probe does not reliably signal session validity for these providers (redirects/SPA 200s regardless of cookie validity — e.g. lmarena's real API is `arena.ai`, not `lmarena.ai`; Poe's real endpoint is a GraphQL POST, not a REST `/models`), so it would report an expired or garbage cookie as valid. Until each provider has a verified, side-effect-free auth probe against its real API host, the fallback now returns `unsupported` (no network call) instead of a false positive. Regression guard: `tests/unit/web-cookie-validation-fallback.test.ts`. (thanks @oyi77)
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/middleware/hooks` and `PUT /api/middleware/hooks/[name]` no longer leak raw internal error messages in their 500 responses (#6645 — thanks @chirag127) — both catch blocks returned `error?.message` directly (Hard Rule #12), which could surface internal SQLite path fragments on a DB failure; both now route through `sanitizeErrorMessage()` from `open-sse/utils/error.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/middleware-hooks-error-sanitization.test.ts`.
+- **fix(docker):** compile better-sqlite3 for the server Docker image (Dokploy/self-hosted builds) via a direct `node-gyp rebuild` inside `node_modules/better-sqlite3`, instead of `npm rebuild better-sqlite3` ([#6700](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6700)) — the `builder` stage installs dependencies with `npm ci --ignore-scripts` (deliberate: closes the supply-chain surface where a transitive dep's install script runs arbitrary code) and re-enables the native build for the one package that needs it; `npm rebuild <pkg>` re-runs that indirectly through the package's own install script, which under npm 11 depends on npm's script-allowlist machinery correctly re-enabling it — some self-hosted build environments (e.g. Dokploy) hit a broken/mismatched native binding through that indirection. Invoking `node-gyp rebuild` directly bypasses npm's script-running layer entirely and is deterministic regardless of npm version. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dockerfile-better-sqlite3-node-gyp-6700.test.ts`. (thanks @nowhats-br)
+- **fix(providers):** the Cloudflare relay Worker deploy fix in #6416/#6618 still failed uploads in practice — it changed the multipart Content-Type but kept the emitted worker source as an ES module (`export default { fetch(...) }`) with `main_module` metadata; Cloudflare's Workers upload API parses a plain `application/javascript` script part as Service Worker syntax regardless of the `main_module` metadata field, and `main_module` requires the script to actually be an ES module (top-level `export`), so the mismatch still rejected the upload ([#6496](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6496)). `buildCloudflareWorkerScript()` (`src/lib/proxyRelay/cloudflareWorkerScript.ts`) now emits Service Worker syntax (`addEventListener("fetch", ...)`, no top-level `export`) and the upload metadata uses `body_part` instead of `main_module`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/relay-deploy-5128.test.ts` (asserts the emitted script has no `export default`, registers a `fetch` listener, and the upload metadata carries `body_part`/omits `main_module`; also proves the inlined `isPrivateHostname()` SSRF guard still rejects bracketed IPv6 loopback/ULA hosts like `[::1]`/`[fd00::1]` after the script-body rewrite). (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **fix(providers):** ChatGPT Web (`chatgpt-web`) responses rendered raw ChatGPT UI citation markup — private-use marker tokens (e.g. `citeturn0search0`) and `url…` inline-link markers — instead of real Markdown links, since these only ever get resolved client-side by chatgpt.com's own JS using `message.metadata.content_references` ([#6635](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6635)) — `cleanChatGptText()` now resolves `content_references` (grouped webpages, footnote sources, inline `webpage`/`url` mentions) into `[label](url)` Markdown links for both the streaming and non-streaming response builders, and for the GPT-5.5 Pro `stream_handoff` polled-answer path, falling back to stripping any marker that has no resolvable source instead of leaking the raw private-use bytes. The citation parsing/rendering logic was extracted into a new pure sibling module (`open-sse/executors/chatgpt-web/citations.ts`) to keep the executor under the frozen file-size cap. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chatgpt-web-citations.test.ts` (non-streaming citation resolution, streaming marker buffering across split SSE chunks, and the Pro-handoff polled-answer path). (thanks @Thinkscape)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the live-dashboard WebSocket descriptor handshake (`GET /api/v1/ws?handshake=1`) and the lightweight `GET /api/health/ping` liveness probe both 401'd for unauthenticated callers, even though both are metadata-only reads intended to be public ([#6335](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6335)) — `clientApiPolicy` required a bearer/dashboard-session before the WS route handler could even return its own `wsAuth`/protocol descriptor, and `/api/health/ping` was never added to `PUBLIC_READONLY_API_ROUTE_PREFIXES` despite its own docstring documenting it as "No auth required." `clientApiPolicy.evaluate()` now allows an anonymous `{kind:"anonymous", id:"ws-handshake"}` subject for GET/HEAD/OPTIONS on `/api/v1/ws?handshake=1` (the route handler still performs its own real wsAuth/dashboard/API-key decision before opening the socket), and `/api/health/ping` is now in `PUBLIC_READONLY_API_ROUTE_PREFIXES`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/authz/client-api-policy.test.ts` (WS handshake allowed, including relative request URLs), `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`, and `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts` (`/api/health/ping` classified `PUBLIC`). (thanks @JxnLexn)
+- fix(providers): wire the Devin cloud-agent provider into the generic provider-page validator and static model catalog, matching the existing `jules` cloud-agent pattern (#6142)
+- fix(providers): honor a provider-level proxy assigned to no-auth providers like MiMoCode Free (#6272)
+- fix(api): merge tool_call continuation deltas that carry only `id` (no `index`) so tool-call arguments are no longer split/lost in request/response logs (#6276)
+- **fix(providers):** modernize the `lmarena` provider for the Arena.ai rebrand — route chat through `arena.ai` create-evaluation with Chrome TLS impersonation, seed a static Direct-chat Text/Search + Image catalog, and keep the `lmarena`/`lma` wire id for back-compat ([#6280](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6280)) — thanks @backryun
+- **fix(providers):** web-provider model discovery updated — qwen-web uses the slash-terminated models endpoint (avoiding a blocked 307 redirect), and kimi-web matches the current request shape (POST with bearer + `kimi-auth` cookie replay) with its catalog refreshed to the current non-agent models (#6308 — thanks @janeza2).
+- **fix(logs):** the request-log detail modal no longer reopens by itself after being closed — a stale in-flight detail refresh resolved after close and re-triggered the modal open state (#6323 — thanks @xz-dev).
+- **fix(providers):** update SenseNova Token Plan support — register the token-plan model ids/constants and adjust the SenseNova registry so token-plan accounts route correctly (#6330 — thanks @xz-dev).
+- fix(providers): give v0-vercel-web its own alias so its credentials are detected (#6343)
+- fix(providers): route AgentRouter key validation through the CC wire image so a valid key no longer 403s as "Invalid API key" (#6377)
+- fix(db): stop legacy log-archive migration from deleting the live app-logger directory and crashing startup on a stat/stream race (#6401, #6799)
+- fix(docs): document Turbopack build memory tradeoff and `OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=0` webpack fallback for RAM-constrained machines (#6409)
+- fix(compression): surface silently-dropped stacked-pipeline steps (session-dedup, ccr) and stop the aggregate inflation guard from misfiring on a genuine no-op (#6479, #6480, #6491)
+- fix(providers): honor the `max_token` capability override in the reasoning-token-buffer output cap (#6524)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the onboarding tier-flow diagram rendered broken — its SVGs lived in the repo-root `images/` (not a served path); moved to `public/images/` so Next.js serves them (#6538 — thanks @ianriizky).
+- **fix(routing):** the `auto` combo's no-auth candidate pool now honors a disabled provider connection's own `isActive=false` (the toggle on the main Providers grid card), not just the separate global `blockedProviders` setting — disabling opencode/mimocode/etc. via the grid toggle no longer leaves it in rotation ([#6557](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6557)).
+- **fix(sse):** server-tool literal names (e.g. `web_search`) are preserved in message history and `tool_choice` instead of being namespaced/rewritten, so follow-up turns referencing those tools keep working (#6586 — thanks @MikeTuev).
+- fix(api): recognize OpenRouter reasoning/reasoning_details in non-streaming OpenAI-to-Claude conversion (#6623)
+- fix(db): share one in-flight sql.js load across concurrent `preInitSqlJs()` callers to stop the boot-time thundering-herd re-decode of the whole database file (#6628)
+- fix(db): unwrap lone named-parameter objects before `sql.js` `stmt.bind()` so `@`/`:`/`$`-style named placeholders bind correctly instead of throwing "Wrong API use" (#6802)
+- **fix(db): break probe-failed/restore loop on large storage.sqlite** (#6632 — thanks @KooshaPari).
+- fix(ci): exclude check-test-masking.test.ts's own tautology fixtures from the diff-based test-masking gate and recognize `✗` in validate-release-green's failure-line detector (#6634)
+- fix(routing): recognize Kimi-style "exceeded model token limit" 400 as context overflow so combo fallback continues to the next target (#6637)
+- **fix(cli):** Claude Code installed via WinGet is now detected on Windows (the WinGet install path was missing from the binary lookup) (#6647 — thanks @enjoyer-hub).
+- **fix(providers):** removed obsolete/defunct providers from the catalog (glhf, kluster, cablyai, inclusionai) (#6675 — thanks @backryun).
+- **fix(sse):** requests rejected before `handleChatCore` (circuit-breaker/cooldown gate or combo with all targets exhausted) are now recorded in `usage_history` too, so a key whose traffic was entirely gate-rejected no longer shows "zero requests" in the per-API-key usage counter (#6698).
+- **fix(sse):** unwrap bare `{function:{…}}` tools so OpenAI-shape clients no longer have tools silently dropped in Claude translation. (thanks @samir-abis)
+- **fix(oauth):** stop merging distinct Codex OAuth logins that share an email but lack a verifiable account id, preventing silent token overwrite. (thanks @lucasjustinudin)
+- **fix(codex):** detect "model at capacity"/overloaded errors embedded in a 200-OK SSE stream and surface them as a real error so account fallback rotates, instead of passing them through as a successful response. (thanks @ryanngit)
+- **fix(volcengine):** clamp `max_tokens` to the VolcEngine Ark endpoint cap for the Kimi model so oversized values no longer 400. (thanks @whale9820)
+- **fix(antigravity):** surface aborted/malformed Gemini tool calls (e.g. `MALFORMED_FUNCTION_CALL`) as an explicit non-`end_turn` finish reason instead of a silent clean completion. (thanks @anhdiepmmk)
+- **fix(routing):** the reasoning-token headroom buffer clamps to the model's explicit output cap instead of inflating past it, and `getExplicitModelOutputCap` falls through to the registry/spec cap when a synced capability row exists without a numeric `limit_output` ([#6714](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6714)) — thanks @xz-dev
+- **fix(api):** `omniroute health` (and `health components`/`health watch`) returned `Error: HTTP 404` ([#6677](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6677)) — `bin/cli/commands/health.mjs` called `apiFetch("/api/health", ...)`, a route that was moved to `GET /api/monitoring/health` (`src/app/api/monitoring/health/route.ts`) without updating the CLI; `src/app/api/health/` on disk only has `degradation/route.ts` and `ping/route.ts`, no top-level handler. `runHealthCommand()`/`runHealthComponentsCommand()` now call `/api/monitoring/health` and read its actual payload shape (`activeConnections`, `circuitBreakers: {open, halfOpen, closed}`, `memoryUsage`) instead of the old, nonexistent `requests`/`breakers`/`cache`/`memory` fields. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli-health-monitoring-route.test.ts`.
+- **fix(startup):** webpack build broke on case-insensitive filesystems (macOS APFS default, Windows) with a casing-collision warning plus "not exported" errors in `StudioConfigPane.tsx`/`ChatTab.tsx` (#6584) — `src/app/(dashboard)/dashboard/playground/components/ReasoningControls.tsx` (the component) and `reasoningControls.ts` (the utils module) shared the same lower-cased stem in the same directory, and two importers used the extensionless form `from "./reasoningControls"`, the exact resolution path that becomes ambiguous once casing is folded. Renamed the utils module to `reasoningControlUtils.ts` (no collision) and updated the 3 import sites. Regression guard: `tests/unit/case-collision-6584.test.ts` (scans `src/`/`open-sse/` for any same-directory, case-only filename collision). (#6584)
+- **fix(build):** Turbopack production build emitted an "Overly broad patterns can lead to build performance issues" warning per entry point importing `src/lib/agentSkills/generator.ts` (603 warnings reported on v3.8.46, up from 379 on v3.8.45) ([#6582](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6582)) — `generator.ts`'s `outputBase` is built as `path.isAbsolute(outputDir) ? outputDir : path.join(process.cwd(), outputDir)`, where `outputDir` is a runtime function parameter, not a compile-time literal, so Turbopack's build-time file-tracing analyzer can't statically narrow the several dynamic `readdirSync`/`rmSync`/`readFileSync`/`writeFileSync` call sites a few lines below and falls back to a project-wide glob; #6366's commit message claimed to "anchor the base path with a literal" but the shipped code never did. Since this fs access is legitimate and bounded (`skills/<id>/SKILL.md`, ~48 known IDs), `next.config.mjs`'s `turbopack.ignoreIssue` (Next.js 16.2+) now suppresses this specific, known-benign diagnostic, mirroring the existing `webpack.ignoreWarnings`/`isNextIntlExtractorDynamicImportWarning` precedent already in the same file for the webpack path. Regression guard: `tests/unit/next-config.test.ts` (asserts the `turbopack.ignoreIssue` rule shape targeting `src/lib/agentSkills/**`).
+- **fix(providers):** Codex Desktop requests to `gpt-5.3-codex-spark` failed with `[400]: Tool 'image_generation' is not supported with gpt-5.3-codex-spark`, even on paid-plan accounts ([#6651](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6651)) — `CodexExecutor.transformRequest` (`open-sse/executors/codex.ts`) only dropped the Codex Desktop-injected `image_generation` hosted tool when `isCodexFreePlan()` matched the account's plan, with no awareness that Spark-scope Codex models reject `image_generation` upstream regardless of plan. `dropImageGeneration` now also drops it when `getCodexModelScope(model) === "spark"` (the existing Spark classifier from `open-sse/config/codexQuotaScopes.ts`), independent of account plan. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-spark-image-generation.test.ts` (thanks @alltomatos for independently catching and fixing it via #6819).
+- **fix(providers):** the provider quota card's weekly/session bars re-sorted by remaining percentage instead of staying in a fixed, deterministic order ([#6687](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6687)) — `QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`'s `sortQuotasByRemaining()` (added in #5977) was applied unconditionally via `useMemo(() => sortQuotasByRemaining(quotas), [quotas])`, undoing the deterministic `CODEX_QUOTA_ORDER`/`GLM_QUOTA_ORDER` window order `quotaParsing.ts`'s `sortCodexOrder()`/`sortGlmOrder()` (added in #6336) already established for Codex and the GLM family — since #6336 never touched `QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`, the two orderings never composed, so e.g. a Codex `session` window with less headroom than `weekly` rendered after it instead of staying first. A new `hasFixedQuotaOrder()` (`quotaParsing.ts`) and `resolveQuotaDisplayOrder()` (`QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`) now skip the remaining-% re-sort for providers with a fixed window order, threading `providerId` from `QuotaCard.tsx` through to the display layer; every other provider still gets the remaining-% sort. Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-card-expanded-fixed-order-6687.test.ts`.
+- **fix(i18n):** pt-BR was missing 194 UI keys present in `en.json` — a real, silent data-sync gap, not covered by any duplicate/mislabeled #6694 (that issue's 9 `providers.*` keys are disjoint, present-but-untranslated sentinels caused by a separate `providerText()` fallback bug) ([#6695](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6695)) — `scripts/i18n/sync-ui-keys.mjs` (which mirrors newly-added `en.json` keys into every locale) wasn't re-run after recent `en.json` additions, and the CI `i18n:check-ui-coverage` gate only fails a locale below an 80% threshold, so pt-BR stayed green at 93.8% coverage despite the gap. Backfilled all 194 missing keys into `src/i18n/messages/pt-BR.json` (translated to Brazilian Portuguese, no leftover `__MISSING__` markers) via `npm run i18n:sync-ui -- --locale=pt-BR` + manual translation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-pt-br.test.ts` (new case asserting full `en.json`→`pt-BR.json` key parity, so a future drift fails a fast unit test instead of silently degrading the coverage percentage).
+- **fix(startup):** `omniroute --mcp` crashed at Node ESM link time with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND` for `ioredis` on installs where the published MCP bundle didn't happen to have `ioredis` rescued from a parent `node_modules` ([#6559](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6559)) — `src/shared/utils/rateLimiter.ts` had a top-level static `import Redis from "ioredis"`; that module is only ever reached via a lazy `await import(...)` several call-sites deep in the MCP tool chain, but esbuild's `--packages=external` bundling of the MCP server (`scripts/build/prepublish.ts` Step 8.5) still hoisted rateLimiter.ts's own static import into a real top-level ESM import in the compiled `dist/open-sse/mcp-server/server.js`, forcing Node to resolve `ioredis` at module-link time — before any `--mcp` startup code runs — and `ioredis` is not guaranteed to ship in the MCP-only bundle's `node_modules`. `getRedisClient()` now lazily imports `ioredis` on first use (matching the established soft-dependency pattern in `src/lib/quota/redisQuotaStore.ts`) while still throwing synchronously when Redis isn't configured. Regression guard: `tests/unit/build/mcp-bundle-no-eager-ioredis.test.ts` (bundles the real MCP server entrypoint with the exact publish-time esbuild flags and asserts no top-level static `ioredis` import remains, while the pre-existing lazy `await import("ioredis")` in `redisQuotaStore.ts` stays intact).
+- **fix(providers):** Kiro sent the adaptive-thinking `additionalModelRequestFields` envelope for `claude-sonnet-4.5`/`claude-haiku-4.5`, which Kiro/CodeWhisperer rejects upstream with a raw `[400]: additionalModelRequestFields is not supported for this model` ([#6576](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6576)) — `buildKiroPayload()` (`open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-kiro.ts`) gated the field on the generic Anthropic-API `supportsReasoning()` capability flag, which is `true` for both models on Anthropic's direct API but does not reflect what Kiro's CodeWhisperer backend actually accepts; only `claude-sonnet-5` is confirmed adaptive-thinking-capable there. A new Kiro-specific allowlist (`supportsKiroAdaptiveThinking()` in `open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-kiro/adaptiveThinking.ts`) now gates the envelope instead. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6576-kiro-thinking-unsupported-model.test.ts`.
+- **fix(translator):** Cursor's local **Subagent** tool call is no longer rejected with `cloud_base_branch may only be specified when environment equals cloud` — the Responses→Chat tool-arg cleanup (`stripEmptyOptionalToolArgs`) was scoped to Claude Code's `Read` tool only, so Cursor's `Subagent` tool passed through with the cloud-only `cloud_base_branch: ""` (Cursor treats an empty string as "specified" and rejects the call before starting the local subagent). The cleanup now covers an allowlist of `Read` + `Subagent`; arbitrary tools are still left untouched (empty strings/arrays can be valid payloads for them). Regression guard: `tests/unit/openai-responses-subagent-strip-2446.test.ts`. (thanks @like3213934360-lab)
+- **fix(translator):** GLM 5.2 (and other OpenAI-compatible upstreams that stream a tool call's `id` and `function.name` in **separate** SSE chunks) no longer produce an empty tool name / `No such tool available:` error through the Claude `/messages` path — the `openai-to-claude` streaming translator emitted `content_block_start` immediately on the id-only chunk with an empty `name`, and the Claude SSE protocol cannot patch a block after it is emitted, so the later name-only chunk was silently dropped. It now **defers** `content_block_start` until the tool name arrives (falling back to starting the block when arguments arrive first), so the emitted `tool_use` always carries the real name. Regression guard: `tests/unit/openai-to-claude-glm-split-tool-name-2077.test.ts`. (thanks @itiwant)
+- **fix(resilience):** OmniRoute didn't respect an exhausted Ollama Cloud (or any other apikey-category provider) quota — it retried the account seconds later instead of waiting out the real reset window ([#6638](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6638)) — `shouldPreserveQuotaSignalsFor429()`/`checkFallbackError()` (`open-sse/services/accountFallback.ts`) only applied body-text quota classification (daily/monthly/weekly quota-exhausted detection) to OAuth-category providers; apikey-category 429s (Ollama Cloud, OpenAI, etc.) always fell through to the generic short rate-limit cooldown regardless of what the error body said, and `parseRetryFromErrorText()` also had no support for day-granularity reset hints ("Your quota will reset in 3 days.") — only Xh/Ym/Zs combos. An explicit quota-exhausted signal in the body (`looksLikeQuotaExhausted()`) now overrides the apikey-category default via the new `shouldPreserveQuotaSignals()` (`open-sse/services/quotaResetParsing.ts`), and `parseDayGranularityResetMs()` parses whole-day reset countdowns so the real multi-day window is honored instead of a few seconds of backoff. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6638-ollama-quota.test.ts` + 2 aligned `tests/unit/account-fallback-service.test.ts` cases that previously asserted the buggy rate_limit_exceeded/undefined-dailyQuotaExhausted behavior for apikey-provider quota text.
+- **fix(resilience):** a combo step "pinned" to one fingerprint account (mimocode/mcode/opencode multi-account providers) never actually resolved to that account, so it couldn't fail over when the pinned account was depleted ([#6696](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6696), relates #6612) — the combo builder UI encodes an account pin as a composite connectionId (`${rowId}|fp|${fingerprint}`, `src/lib/combos/builderOptions.ts`), but `expandTargetsByFingerprints()` (`open-sse/services/combo/fingerprintExpansion.ts`) looked that composite string up directly in `connectionById` (keyed by real DB row ids), got `undefined`, and passed the target through unchanged, still carrying the bogus composite id — so downstream credential resolution could never match it either. `expandTargetsByFingerprints()` now splits the `|fp|` composite id back into the real connection row id + the pinned fingerprint (new `splitFingerprintPin()` helper) before any lookup, resolving the target to the real connectionId (with the pinned fingerprint carried on the new `pinnedFingerprint` field) instead of the inert composite string. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-fingerprint-pin-6696.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** Responses passthrough emitted event-only SSE frames (no `data:` line) for every dropped commentary event, breaking the OpenAI Python SDK's `sse.json()` parser ([#6561](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6561)), follow-up to #6199/#6232 — the commentary-drop `continue;` branches in `open-sse/utils/stream.ts` skipped the `data:` line for a dropped commentary event but never cleared the already-buffered `event:` line for that same frame, so the next blank line flushed the stale `event:` line alone. Both drop sites now call `clearPendingPassthroughEvent()` before `continue`, discarding the buffered prefix along with the dropped payload; the commentary-drop decision itself was extracted into a new `open-sse/utils/responsesCommentaryDrop.ts` so the fix does not grow the frozen `stream.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/responses-commentary-event-frame-6561.test.ts` (realistic `event:\ndata:\n\n` frames — the existing #6199 test only used bare `data:` lines and never exercised this path).
+- **fix(compression):** `/api/compression/preview`'s top-level `originalTokens`/`compressedTokens` diverged from `engineBreakdown[0]`'s counts for the same single-engine run (tiktoken outer counts vs the `JSON.stringify(...).length/4` estimate per engine), worst on small inputs. A new `reconcileSingleEngineTokens()` overwrites the single-engine breakdown entry with the outer, more accurate figures; multi-step pipeline breakdowns are left untouched ([#6488](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6488)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression/preview-outer-engine-token-reconcile-6488.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** account selection could pick an account already out of quota upstream on every credentialed route except `chat`/`codex` ([#6686](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6686)) — `getProviderCredentials()` (`src/sse/services/auth.ts`) only skips a connection when a *local cache* already flags it exhausted (`isQuotaExhaustedForRequest`/`src/domain/quotaCache.ts`); it never itself calls the registered upstream `QuotaFetcher`. Only `getProviderCredentialsWithQuotaPreflight()` performs that live upstream check, and it was wired into exactly 2 call sites (`src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, `src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts`) — every other credentialed route (`rerank`, `images/generations`, `images/edits`, `audio/transcriptions|speech|translations`, `videos/generations`, `music/generations`, `ocr`, `providers/[provider]/embeddings`, `providers/[provider]/images/generations`, `web/fetch`, `moderations`, `search`) called the plain, cache-only selector, so an account whose cache entry was never populated (e.g. its first request landed on one of these routes) could be selected even at 0% quota remaining. Those 14 call sites now go through `getProviderCredentialsWithQuotaPreflight()` instead, matching chat/codex coverage. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6686-quota-preflight-coverage.test.ts` (static check that none of the routes call the plain selector anymore + a behavioral check that the preflight-aware selector blocks a 100%-used account).
+- **fix(api):** `reasoning_content` (extended-thinking text) was silently dropped from `/v1/chat/completions` SSE on the `claude-web` and `v0-vercel-web` executors ([#6662](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6662)) — every chunk builder in both adapters hardcoded `delta: { content: ... }` with no reasoning path, unlike the established pattern already used by `default.ts`/`deepseek-web.ts`/`bedrock.ts` and the real-Anthropic-API `claude-to-openai.ts` translator (`thinking_delta` → `reasoning_content`). `v0-vercel-web.ts` now forwards an upstream `delta.reasoning_content` field (streaming and non-streaming) the same way `deepseek-web.ts` does. `claude-web.ts`'s `buildClaudeStreamingResponse` now maps a `content_block_start`(`type: "thinking"`)/`content_block_delta`(`delta.thinking`) pair onto `delta.reasoning_content`, and `claude-web/payload.ts`'s `transformToClaude()` no longer hardcodes `thinking_mode: "off"` — a new `wantsExtendedThinking()` derives it from the request's `reasoning_effort`/`reasoning.effort`/`thinking.type` signal, so extended thinking can actually be requested. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6662-repro.test.ts` (RED→GREEN for both adapters).
+- **fix(api):** the compression config PUT schema now accepts `enableRenderers` for the RTK engine instead of rejecting the documented option (#6703, #6757 — thanks @alltomatos, with an independent duplicate fix from @chirag127 via #6756).
+- **fix(api):** raised the provider `apiKey` length cap for cookie-based web providers, whose session-cookie credentials legitimately exceed the previous limit (#6715, #6759 — thanks @alltomatos).
+- fix(ci): publish electron-updater `latest*.yml` manifests in electron release assets so auto-update can find them ([#6766](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6766))
+- **fix(i18n): translate hardcoded Portuguese dashboard strings to English (#6761, #6768)** (#6769 — thanks @chirag127).
+- fix(providers): strip redundant node prefix when resolving custom OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible connections by raw connection id, preventing double-namespaced model ids from 400ing upstream (#6772)
+- fix(providers): scope nvidia NIM 404s to the single failing model instead of cooling down the whole connection (#6773)
+- **fix(codex):** bump the default Codex CLI client identity from `0.142.0` to `0.144.0` for compatibility with newer Codex-backed models ([#6780](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6780)) — thanks @quanturbo
+- **fix(ci):** the blocking "Impacted unit tests (TIA)" step false-redded any PR whose impact graph reached a dashboard component — it ran every selected test under `--import tsx/esm`, but `tests/unit/dashboard/**` requires the `--import tsx` CJS transform (ESM-only deep imports like `@lobehub/icons/es/*`), exactly as the canonical `test:unit:ci:shard` already does per segment. The impacted selection is now split by segment with matching loaders (closes #6787).
+- **fix(translator):** read PDF/video `file_data` attachments on the OpenAI→Gemini/Antigravity and OpenAI→Claude paths so multimodal documents (not just images) reach the upstream — PDFs map to `document`/`inlineData` and videos keep their `video/mp4` mime instead of being dropped (#6790 — thanks @Witroch4, with an independent report/fix from @samimozcan via #6762/#6753).
+- **fix(providers): ensure DeepSeek Web SSE emits [DONE] after FINISHED** (#6791 — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch).
+- **fix(api):** the compression config `PUT` schema (`stackedPipelineStepSchema`) now accepts every `ENGINE_CATALOG` id — the structural engines `session-dedup`/`ccr`/`headroom`/`relevance`/`llmlingua`/`omniglyph` and the `aggressive` `ultra` intensity — so a `GET`→`PUT` round-trip of a stacked pipeline no longer 400s on a valid engine the discriminated union had omitted (#6747 — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch).
+- **fix(cursor):** send the Agent CLI build id as `x-cursor-client-version` so Cursor upstream accepts requests from the current CLI build instead of a stale hardcoded version (#6795 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- fix(cli): waitForServer() no longer reports ready from a raw TCP accept alone — requires a fast HTTP rejection or a real health response, so the "OmniRoute is running!" banner no longer fires 30-60s before the server can actually answer requests (#6800)
+- fix(sse): de-flake timing-sensitive combo cooldown/breaker tests + add explicit MCP audit shutdown timeout (#6803)
+- **fix(codex): strip include from compact responses requests** (#6805 — thanks @yinaoxiong).
+- fix(dashboard): surface Claude extraUsage credits in quota card when quotas is empty (#6806)
+- **Request count by provider & date**: Dashboard → Analytics now shows a dedicated table of request counts grouped by provider and calendar date (plus token totals), for providers that bill per-request rather than per-token — sortable columns and a single-date filter. New `getProviderDailyUsageRows()` query (`src/lib/db/usageAnalytics.ts`) and its own `GET /api/usage/requests-by-provider-date` route (kept separate from the frozen `/api/usage/analytics` route). Regression guard: `tests/unit/db-provider-daily-usage-4009.test.ts`. (#4009 — thanks @tjengbudi)
+- **fix(resilience):** an Ollama Cloud (or any apikey-category provider) account that hit a weekly usage cap kept getting retried every few minutes instead of backing off ([#3709](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3709)) — the upstream 429 body ("you (\<account\>) have reached your weekly usage limit") was invisible to `checkFallbackError`'s existing subscription-quota-text classifier (Issue #2321) because that branch is gated by `shouldUseQuotaSignal`, which is oauth-only, so apikey providers like `ollama-cloud` fell through to the generic exponential backoff (~1s, capped at 2min) — one account took 285x429 in 48h. A new `isWeeklyUsageLimitText`/`buildWeeklyQuotaFallback` classifier (extracted, with the existing subscription-quota logic, into a new `open-sse/services/quotaTextCooldowns.ts` module so the frozen `accountFallback.ts` didn't have to grow) runs unconditionally and applies a 24h `QUOTA_EXHAUSTED` cooldown regardless of provider category. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ollama-cloud-weekly-quota-cooldown-3709.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** an explicit `thinking.budget_tokens: 0` is now honored in the OpenAI→Gemini transform (thinking disabled) instead of being treated as unset (#6813, #6821 — thanks @alltomatos).
+- **fix(bootstrap):** filter empty `process.env` values before spawning embedded services so a blank env var no longer crashes the Docker bootstrap in a restart loop (#6828 — thanks @AndrianBalanescu).
+- **fix(providers):** classify upstream `404` responses as `MODEL_NOT_FOUND` (model lockout) instead of a retryable provider error, stopping the retry storm when a single model is missing (#6829 — thanks @AndrianBalanescu).
+- fix(mcp): de-duplicate `TOTAL_MCP_TOOL_COUNT` by tool name instead of double-counting collections (#6854)
+- **fix(usage):** xAI's exact provider-reported `cost_in_usd_ticks` no longer silently accepts `null`/`""`/negative values as a valid `$0` exact cost — `extractUsageFromResponse()` (`open-sse/handlers/usageExtractor.ts`) and `normalizeUsage()` (`open-sse/utils/usageTracking.ts`) now require `typeof value === "number" && Number.isFinite(value) && value >= 0` instead of coercing with `Number(x)`, so a malformed exact cost correctly falls back to the token-based estimate instead of masking it with a bogus `$0`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/xai-exact-cost-2453.test.ts` (rejects null/empty/negative exact costs on both call sites). ([#6856](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6856) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(plugin):** the `@omniroute/opencode-plugin` dynamic provider hook stopped embedding its OC-1.17.8+-gate-compatible `opencode-`-prefixed provider id into model routing fields (`ModelV2.id`/`providerID`, combo catalog keys) — OmniRoute's server has no `opencode-<x>` provider alias, so every dispatched model failed credential lookup with "No credentials for opencode-omniroute" (#6859).
+- fix(sse): apply cliproxyapiModelMapping at CLIProxyAPI dispatch time (#6876)
+- fix(sse): defer `response.completed` until a trailing usage-only chunk arrives on `/v1/responses` streams (#6906)
+- **fix(cli):** ship `head-response-guard.cjs` into the standalone bundle — `server-ws.mjs` imported it without a matching `EXTRA_MODULE_ENTRIES` entry, so every `build:release` dist crashed at boot with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND`; a new regression test derives the required sidecars from `server-ws.mjs` imports (#6908)
+- fix(sse): wire the shared quota-fetch throttle into DeepSeek, Bailian, OpenCode, and Crof quota fetchers, not just Codex (#6911)
+- fix(sse): rename client-sent `max_completion_tokens` to `max_tokens` for providers/models that only accept the legacy field (e.g. Volcengine Ark / DeepSeek), mirroring the existing reverse rename from #1961 (#6912)
+- fix(sse): set includeServerSideToolInvocations on Antigravity tool cloak decoys (#6914)
+- fix(sse): classify LAN embeddings providers (10/8, 192.168/16, CGNAT) as no-auth instead of forcing bearer auth (#6925)
+- fix(sse): Qwen Web executor no longer sends `[object Object]` when a message uses structured (array) content — the text parts are now flattened (#6927)
+- perf(api): relay chat-completions routes now thread the already-fetched `RelayToken` into `checkRateLimit`, skipping a redundant `SELECT * FROM relay_tokens WHERE id = ?` re-query on every request (#6930)
+- fix(sse): `normalizeCodexMessageContentPart` now rewrites explicit `type: "input_text"` (not just `type: "text"`) to `output_text` on assistant-role Codex Responses input parts, so replayed assistant history sent by codex-cli as `input_text` is no longer rejected by the Codex/OpenAI backend (#6932)
+- fix(sse): omit removed `attachments` field from Muse Spark Web (Meta AI) persisted GraphQL query to fix `Unknown type "AttachmentInput"` 502s (#6935)
+- fix(dashboard): label audio/embeddings/image compatible providers by kind instead of "Chat" on ProviderCard (#6936)
+- fix(api): model-list discovery for LAN-local OpenAI-compatible providers (e.g. LM Studio) now uses the same local-first SSRF guard as the connection test, instead of the stricter guard that always blocked LAN hosts (#6939)
+- fix(providers): `openai->gemini` transform now maps `reasoning_effort: "none"` to `thinkingConfig.thinkingBudget: 0` (with `includeThoughts: false`), giving callers an explicit, documented off-switch for Gemini thinking; the no-knob-at-all default injection (#4170) is unchanged (#6813, thanks @rafaumeu)
+- **fix(sse):** escape backslash before brackets in ChatGPT-web citation link text, preventing a citation label containing `\` from corrupting the generated Markdown link ([#6944](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6944)) — thanks @brick30llc-ctrl
+- fix(oauth): tokenHealthCheck now lowercase-normalizes `conn.provider` before checking `ROTATING_REFRESH_PROVIDERS.has()` and the GitHub Copilot sub-token refresh guard, so mixed-case provider values (e.g. "OpenAI", "Github") no longer bypass the rotating-refresh-token skip or the Copilot sub-token refresh (#6947)
+- fix(sse): make Codex Responses tool-arg normalization schema-aware — drop values equal to the tool's declared JSON Schema `default`, generalize empty-optional stripping to any tool (not just `Read`/`Subagent`) via `schema.required`, and thread each tool's schema from the request's `tools[]` into the streaming response translator (#6951)
+- fix(sse): drop internal commentary-phase Responses output in TRANSLATE-mode streams, not just PASSTHROUGH — codex/Responses-upstream routes translated into another client format (e.g. Claude Code) no longer leak duplicate prose and narrated tool-call arguments into the client text channel (#6952)
+- **fix(combos):** embeddings-only and rerank-only models (e.g. JinaAI, Gemini auto-imported, OpenRouter custom, reranker models) no longer disappear from the combo builder's model picker — the leftover chat-only `isChatCapable` gate in `addModelOption()` has been removed (#6975).
+- **fix(combos):** when 2+ distinct model ids from the same provider would render an identical display name in the combo builder picker (e.g. Mistral's `codestral-latest`/`codestral-2508` aliases sharing one upstream catalog name), each colliding entry now falls back to its own id as the display label so every row stays visually distinguishable and findable (#6957).
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **chore(release-captain):** v3.8.47 pre-flight closed every deterministic release-tip base-red ([#6967](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6967)): restored the `no-explicit-any` severity silently downgraded by #6786 (439 bulk suppressions had stopped matching), made the openadapter live-catalog test deterministic (`test.after()` was tearing the DB down mid-request), aligned the emergency-fallback and Cloud Code Gemini tests with the #6912/#6943 contracts, backfilled the #6909 i18n keys (en + pt-BR), re-exported `relayProbeStats` (db-rules), documented `OMNI_MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS`, and allowlisted migration gap 121. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **chore(security):** unbiased crypto digits for the doubao synthetic device id (CodeQL `js/biased-cryptographic-random`); 405 method-first for `/api/keys/{id}/devices` (dast-smoke); Zod-validation for `POST /api/github-skills`; the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry + catalog count alignment. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **chore(quality):** cycle-close ratchet work — cleared the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors and made `validate-release-green` suppressions-aware; cleared the 2 remaining heavy-gate reds on the release tip; cycle rebaselines (cognitive/file-size/zizmor/coverage pcts) with justification keys. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **chore(open-sse):** removed the vestigial `// @ts-nocheck` directive from `open-sse/utils/usageTracking.ts` ([#6173](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6173)) — `tsc` under the standard `typecheck:core` gate reports 0 errors for this 595-line hot-path file (executed for every provider response), so the suppression was no longer needed; removing it restores type-checking on the token-usage extraction/normalization path. (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **chore(cli):** the shell-completion cache paths (`readCache`/`refreshCache`/`writeCache`) in `bin/cli/commands/completion.mjs` no longer swallow errors into a bare `catch {}` ([#6257](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6257)) — each now binds the error and, when the new `OMNIROUTE_DEBUG_COMPLETION` env var is set, emits a `[omniroute completion]` diagnostic to `stderr`; the caches still fail silently by default so a missing/corrupt cache never breaks tab-completion. (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **chore(quality):** `validate-release-green --full-ci` reproduces the full `ci.yml` static gate set locally — the pre-flight now reads `ci.yml` itself and runs every `npm run check:*` from the `lint` / `quality-gate` / `quality-extended` / `docs-sync-strict` / `pr-test-policy` jobs (`--` ratchet flags preserved, `test-masking` against `GITHUB_BASE_REF=main`), skipping only the non-local `pr-evidence`/`codeql-ratchet`. Closes the gap where 11 static base-reds leaked to the v3.8.46 release PR in ~2h of layered CI. Also wired into `nightly-release-green` so a static base-red opens a tracking issue the night it lands. Regression guard: `tests/unit/validate-release-green.test.ts` (+5 `extractCiGates` cases).
+- **refactor(usage):** `saveRequestUsage(entry: any)` is now typed with a new `UsageEntry` interface mirroring the `usage_history` columns 1:1 (#3512) — the other stray `any`s in `src/lib/usage/usageHistory.ts` (`getUsageHistory` filter, the `getUsageDb` next-cursor cast, `appendRequestLog`'s legacy `tokens` param, `getRecentLogs`'s catch) were cleaned in the same pass, so the file now sits in the `check:any-budget:t11` zero-`any` allowlist. The DB-entity ↔ TS-interface convention is documented in `docs/architecture/CODEBASE_DOCUMENTATION.md` §11.
+- **Merge-train script** (`scripts/release/merge-train.sh`): batch-validates N queued PRs as ONE merged result on the runner box — merges every queued PR into a throwaway worktree cut from the release tip, runs the fast-gates parity suite once, and prints the `--admin` evidence block per PR (merge-gates §7). Replaces O(N²) per-PR CI re-runs in merge-storms. Regression guard: `tests/unit/merge-train-plan.test.ts`.
+- **release:** `list-uncovered-commits.mjs` now unions the CHANGELOG scan window with `changelog.d/` fragment refs (filename `<PR>-` prefix + every `#N` in the body), so a commit covered only by a fragment is no longer reported as an uncovered reconciliation gap ([#6857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6857) via [#6878](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6878))
+- chore(quality): restore no-explicit-any severity to error (silently downgraded by #6786, broke 439 bulk suppressions), fix 2 unsuppressed anys in repro-6912 test, allowlist migration gap 121, freeze-bump stream.ts/ProxyRegistryManager/tokenHealthCheck (combined-merge drift)
+- chore(base): pt-BR/en i18n keys for #6909 relay-repair/free-pool UI + align Cloud Code Gemini defaults test with the #6943 non-thinking-model contract
+- chore(base): re-export relayProbeStats from localDb (db-rules gate, #6909 follow-up) and document OMNI_MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS in .env.example/ENVIRONMENT.md (env-doc gate, #6590 follow-up)
+- **ci:** unit fast-path sharding doubled 2→4 (halves the heaviest job's wall time) (#6781); the 3 heaviest fast-path jobs can route to the self-hosted VPS runner pool behind `USE_VPS_RUNNER` (#6691); `VPS_ALWAYS_ON` keeps the dedicated 24/7 CI host up across releases (teardown becomes a no-op) (#6693).
+- **docs:** routing-strategy count reconciled to 18 across AUTO-COMBO.md, README and AGENTS.md, and `p2c` casing fixed to match `ROUTING_STRATEGY_VALUES` (#6643, #6644, #6646 — thanks @chirag127); CLAUDE.md updated with the renamed review/triage/implement skill-family names (#6663).
+- chore(release): v3.8.47 pre-flight — relocate #6943 orphan test to a collected path, restore no-explicit-any suppression match, testFrozen bump translator-openai-to-gemini (1541→1553), zizmor rebaseline 159→169
+- **docs(readme):** fix stale counts — 18 routing strategies (adds the missing `pipeline` row), 94 MCP tools, 12-factor Auto-Combo scoring.
+- **chore(ci):** fix two shared base-reds on the release tip that blocked the PR queue — register `cliproxyapi-model-mapping-dispatch.test.ts` in `stryker.conf.json` `tap.testFiles` (mutation-coverage gap left by #6903) and update `provider-models-route-codex.test.ts` to expect Codex client version `0.144.0` (stale assertion left by #6780's production bump).
+- **docs:** refresh `llm.txt` to the current project state (248 providers, 94 MCP tools / 30 scopes, 18 routing strategies, 12-factor Auto-Combo scoring, v3.8.47) and sync its 42 i18n mirrors; move the implemented design-system plan from the repo root to `docs/architecture/DESIGN_SYSTEM.md` rewritten as a reference doc.
+- **chore(security):** scrub hardcoded live-instance credentials (API key + auth cookie + host URL) from the `tests/boundary/*.live.test.ts` files landed via #6786 — they now read `OMNIROUTE_TEST_BASE` / `OMNIROUTE_TEST_BEARER` / `OMNIROUTE_TEST_COOKIE` from the environment and stay gated behind `RUN_BOUNDARY_LIVE=1`.

+## [3.8.46] — 2026-07-07
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(sse):** **hide paid-only models from `auto/*` routing** when `hidePaidModels` is on ([#6512](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6512)) — follow-up to #6328/#6495. PR #6495 hid paid-only models from the `GET /v1/models` listing, but `auto/*` combos (`auto/best-coding`, `auto/glm`, …) could still pick a paid-only backend into their candidate pool → a 402/403 at request time. `createVirtualAutoCombo` now filters the candidate pool through the new pure `open-sse/services/autoCombo/paidModelFilter.ts` (`filterPaidOnlyCandidates`), applying the same free-model predicate #6495 uses in `catalog.ts` (`providerHasFreeModels(provider) && isFreeModel(provider, {id})`) whenever `settings.hidePaidModels === true`. Applied before the category/tier/family narrowing, so it covers every `auto/*` combo; an all-paid pool degrades to the existing graceful empty-pool path. **Opt-in — default OFF leaves the pool unchanged** (identity). Regression guard: `tests/unit/autoCombo/paid-model-filter-6512.test.ts` (4, incl. the default-off identity guard).
+- **feat(sse):** **provider-family auto combos** — `auto/glm`, `auto/minimax`, `auto/mimo`, `auto/zai`, `auto/gemma`, `auto/llama`, `auto/gemini` ([#6453](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6453)) — new routable ids that materialize an on-demand virtual combo spanning whatever installed backends currently expose that model family, degrading gracefully as backends rotate. A new pure `open-sse/services/autoCombo/modelFamily.ts` (`detectModelFamily`) classifies by model-id prefix for six families; `zai` is instead resolved by provider id (z.ai's hosted API serves the same `glm-*` model ids as every other GLM backend, so `auto/zai` means "route to my z.ai backend specifically" vs `auto/glm`'s "any connected GLM backend"). Reuses the existing `createVirtualAutoCombo` on-demand materialization path (no DB writes) and the `/v1/models` catalog advertising loop. Regression guard: `tests/unit/autoCombo/provider-family-combos.test.ts` (11).
+- **feat(proxy):** native **proxy-pool round-robin / egress IP rotation** ([#6365](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6365)) — a scope (global / provider / account) can now hold **multiple** proxies as a pool with a rotation strategy, so outbound requests cycle their egress IP instead of pinning one proxy per scope. Migration `117_proxy_pool_rotation.sql` lifts the `UNIQUE(scope, scope_id)` constraint (rebuild via the canonical rename/copy/drop; existing single assignments become 1-element pools) and adds a `proxy_scope_rotation` companion table holding the per-scope strategy + a persisted monotonic round-robin cursor. Strategies: `round-robin` (default, monotonic cursor — never `Math.random`), `random`, and `sticky-per-N-min`. Resolution (`resolveProxyForScopeFromRegistry` / `resolveProxyForConnectionFromRegistry`) now fetches the alive, position-ordered candidate set (unchanged `PROXY_ALIVE_PREDICATE`) and applies the strategy; an empty / all-dead pool still returns `null` — the #6246 fail-closed guard is **untouched** (never falls through to direct egress). Backend + DB only; dashboard pool-builder UI is a follow-up. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-pool-rotation-6365.test.ts` (8, incl. fail-closed + backward-compat).
+- **feat(providers):** end-to-end **tool/function calling on the native Gemini `/v1beta` endpoint** ([#6222](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6222)) — both directions of the Gemini↔OpenAI conversion now preserve tool data (previously silently dropped). Request side: `convertGeminiToInternal` (extracted to its own testable module) maps `tools[].functionDeclarations` → OpenAI `tools`, prior `functionCall` parts → assistant `tool_calls`, and `functionResponse` parts → `tool`-role messages. Response side: `convertOpenAIResponseToGemini` emits `parts[].functionCall {name,args}` from `message.tool_calls`, and the streaming `openAIChunkToGeminiChunk` accumulates fragmented `tool_calls` deltas by index into complete `functionCall` parts. The non-Gemini client paths (Claude, OpenAI-Responses) already preserved tool calls — this closes the gap specific to the native Gemini surface. Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1beta-gemini-tool-calling-6222.test.ts` (6, incl. a streaming SSE round-trip).
+- **feat(providers):** copilot-m365-web **enterprise / work tier** support ([#6334](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6334)) — mirrors the EDU-tier pattern (#6210): `M365ConnectionParams` gains an `agent` field, a new opt-in `M365_ENTERPRISE_OVERRIDES` preset (`agent=work`, `scenario=officeweb`, `licenseType=Premium`) applies via `providerSpecificData.tier="enterprise"` (alias `"work"`), and `agent` is also overridable directly via `providerSpecificData.agent`. `buildWsUrl` was hardcoding `agent="web"` (the one enterprise-distinguishing param with no override path), so a Premium work account handshook then returned an empty stream. The individual and EDU paths are untouched. Kilo's dup flag vs #6210 (EDU tier) was a false positive — different tier. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-enterprise-6334.test.ts` (7). End-to-end confirmation on a real Premium work account is a live-VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18). (thanks @Forcerecon)
+- **feat(api):** standardized, provider-agnostic **`effort` + `thinking` request params** ([#6241](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6241)) — a thin standardization layer over the existing mature per-provider reasoning plumbing (no provider mapper touched). `providerChatCompletionSchema` gains a canonical `effort` (reusing the shared `none/low/medium/high/xhigh` vocabulary — the UI tiers `extra`/`max` collapse onto `xhigh`) and a boolean `thinking`. A pure `normalizeReasoningRequest` (wired once in `src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, before any reasoning field is read) folds them onto the fields the translators already consume (`reasoning_effort` / `reasoning.effort` / `thinking`), so they fan out to Anthropic / Gemini / xAI / Responses — an explicit client `reasoning_effort` / object-shaped `thinking` always wins (backward-compatible). `/models` additively exposes `supportsThinking` + `effort_tiers` so the frontend can render the toggles (UI component is a follow-up). Regression guard: `tests/unit/effort-thinking-standardization-6241.test.ts` (12). (thanks @Iammilansoni, @shabeer)
+- **feat(combo):** new **`pipeline` (sequential) combo strategy** ([#6297](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6297)) — the 18th routing strategy runs targets **in order**, threading each step's output into the next step's input, with an optional per-step `prompt` (system instruction); only the final step's response is returned. Distinct from `fusion` (parallel fan-out + judge). Implemented as a self-contained `open-sse/services/pipeline.ts` (sibling to `fusion.ts`), dispatched from `combo.ts`; the step list reuses `combo.models` order and reads an optional `prompt` off each target (backward-compatible — ignored by every other strategy). Intermediate steps run non-streaming with tools stripped (complete prose to thread forward); the final step keeps the client's `stream` flag + tools. A failing/empty/unparseable intermediate step fails the whole pipeline explicitly via a sanitized error (never silently swallowed). Kilo's dup flag vs #563 was a false positive (that's model→chain selection; this is a sequential chain). Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-pipeline-strategy.test.ts` (5). (thanks @ofekbetzalel)
+- **feat(ci):** `check:test-masking` now flags **inline-reimplemented prod conditions** ([#6348](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6348)) — a new **report-only** subcheck (v2, 6A.10 family) catches the wrong-shape contract test: a test that recomputes the condition under test inline instead of importing/exercising the real function (the #6216 class, where `=== 500` → `>= 500` stayed green because the test re-implemented the branch). For each added/modified test file it warns when the file textually duplicates a ≥3-token conditional from a production file touched in the same PR **and** does not import the symbol/module owning it, via a pure, fixture-tested `findReimplementedConditions()` with an allowlist mirroring `assertReductionAllowlist`. Report-only for now (does not fail the gate) — to be promoted to blocking after a triage cycle. Regression guard: `tests/unit/check-test-masking.test.ts` (45).
+- **feat(sse):** per-connection routing override (native vs CLIProxyAPI) ([#6339](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6339)) — the previously-dead `isCliproxyapiDeepModeEnabled` helper is now wired into `resolveExecutorWithProxy`: a single connection can opt itself into the CLIProxyAPI passthrough executor via `providerSpecificData.cliproxyapiMode="claude-native"`, with precedence **connection override > provider `upstream_proxy_config` mode > default**. `resolveExecutorWithProxy` now receives the resolved connection's `providerSpecificData` (threaded from `chatCore.ts`), so one connection can deep-route while the provider's other connections stay native — no DB schema change (the toggle rides in `providerSpecificData`). Also resolves the same-provider mixing ask in #6340. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chatcore-executor-proxy.test.ts` (9). (thanks @RaviTharuma)
+- **feat(dashboard):** "Add session cookie" modal now shows a prominent **"Open ‹host› →"** link to the provider's own site ([#6268](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6268)) — every `-web` cookie-session provider (chatgpt-web, claude-web, gemini-web, kimi-web, lmarena, qwen-web, m365-copilot-web, …) renders a one-click external link (opening the provider's login/home page in a new tab) so operators no longer tab away to retype the URL mid-setup. The host resolves from a pure, unit-tested `resolveWebProviderHost()` (prefers `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS[id].website`, falls back to the registry `baseUrl` origin); non-web providers render exactly as before. Kilo's dup flag vs #6265 (modal-too-small-on-1080p) was a false positive — distinct concern. Regression guard: `tests/unit/resolve-web-provider-host.test.ts` (5). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add **DigitalOcean** AI (serverless inference) as an OpenAI-compatible API-key provider ([#6373](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6373)) — base `https://inference.do-ai.run/v1`, wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/digitalocean/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/inference-hosts.ts`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/digitalocean-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @newnol)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Huancheng Public API** (`hcnsec`) as an OpenAI-compatible regional provider ([#6410](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6410)) — Xinjiang Huancheng Cybersecurity's public LLM platform (base `https://api.hcnsec.cn/v1`, free credits via daily check-ins), wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/hcnsec/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/regional.ts`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/hcnsec-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @UnrealAryan)
+- **feat(dashboard):** the web-session credential guide now shows an **"Open {host}" link** ([#6316](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6316)) to the provider's sign-in site (derived from the provider `website` via `getProviderWebsiteHost`), so you can jump straight to the page where the cookie/session must be captured. Regression guard: `tests/unit/web-session-provider-link-6316.test.ts`. (thanks @jordansilly77-stack)
+- **feat(cerebras):** add the **Gemma 4 31B** model (`gemma-4-31b`) to the Cerebras registry + pricing table ([#6331](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6331)). Regression guard extends `tests/unit/t28-model-catalog-updates.test.ts`. (thanks @backryun)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Yuanbao (web)** as a cookie-session provider ([#6196](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6196)) — `yuanbao-web` (Tencent Yuanbao, `yuanbao.tencent.com`) with cookie-only auth (`hy_user`/`hy_token` + public agent id), SSE→OpenAI translation incl. `reasoning_content`, exposing DeepSeek V3/R1 + Hunyuan / Hunyuan-T1. Regression guard: `tests/unit/providers-yuanbao-web.test.ts`. `together-web` was **deferred** (no verifiable web-session endpoint — needs a captured request) and `huggingchat-web` **dropped** (the existing `huggingchat` already is a web-cookie provider). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** route the built-in **agentrouter** through the dynamic Claude-Code wire image ([#6056](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6056)) — a small static allow-set (`CC_WIRE_IMAGE_BUILTINS` in `open-sse/services/ccWireImageBuiltins.ts`), consulted by `isClaudeCodeCompatible` / `isClaudeCodeCompatibleProvider` / `applyFingerprint`, makes agentrouter adopt the CC wire-image headers + fingerprint **while guarding the CC baseUrl/auth branches** so it keeps its own registry `baseUrl` and `x-api-key` auth. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentrouter-cc-wire-image.test.ts` (asserts the wire image is applied AND agentrouter's baseUrl/auth are preserved). Live WAF-acceptance against agentrouter.org is a VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18).
+- **feat(providers):** **bulk-add API keys for Cloudflare Workers AI** ([#6174](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6174)) — `cloudflare-ai` is removed from the bulk-add exclusion list and the bulk parser gains a 3-field `name|accountId|apiKey` mode; the bulk route now builds a **per-entry** `providerSpecificData` so each key carries its own `accountId` (fixing the previous shared-object reuse), and both the create + key-validation paths receive it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/bulk-api-key-parser-cloudflare.test.ts`. (thanks @muflifadla38)
+- **feat(dashboard):** routing/settings UX clarity ([#6147](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6147)) — (1) weighted combos show the **effective routing share %** next to each weight when weights don't sum to 100 (`WeightTotalBar.tsx`); (2) the status widget's user-facing **"Cloud Sync" label is renamed** to "Remote Settings Sync" (`CloudSyncStatus.tsx`; internal ids/state untouched); (3) built-in providers gain an **opt-in advanced base-URL override** (`isBaseUrlOverrideEligibleProvider`, hidden behind an "Advanced" toggle, reusing the existing `providerSpecificData.baseUrl` persistence — not globally widened). Regression guard: `tests/unit/routing-settings-ux-6147.test.ts`.
+- **feat(combo):** add an option to **disable session stickiness**, per-combo or globally — round-robin / random combos can rotate to a different connection on every request instead of pinning a whole conversation to one connection by its first-message hash. Resolution precedence per-combo `config.disableSessionStickiness` → global `settings.disableSessionStickiness` → default `false` (preserves the #3825 prompt-cache/504 fix); gates **both** stickiness call sites in `open-sse/services/combo.ts`. Exposed as a global toggle (Combo Defaults) and a per-combo Inherit/on/off control. ([#6168](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6168)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-disable-session-stickiness.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+- **feat(docker):** add the `OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO` env flag for root-less / user-namespaced deployments — the MITM cert-trust command path (`resolveSudoSpawn` in `src/mitm/systemCommands.ts`) now strips the leading `sudo` when the flag is truthy, in addition to the existing root / sudo-missing cases, so the Proxy Agent runs without `sudo` (the operator trusts the CA manually, e.g. via `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`). Argv-array `spawn` preserved — no shell interpolation (Hard Rule #13). ([#6122](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6122)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-systemCommands-no-sudo.test.ts`. (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Requesty** as an OpenAI-compatible gateway provider (BYOK, base `https://router.requesty.ai/v1`, ~200 free requests/day) — wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/requesty/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/gateways.ts`). ([#6120](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6120)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/requesty-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add **configured-only / available-only filters** to the Free Provider Rankings page ([#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150)) — hide providers you haven't configured, or whose connections are all rate-limited / out of quota, via server-side query params (`?configuredOnly` / `?availableOnly` on `GET /api/free-provider-rankings`) backed by a testable lib helper reusing the in-process connection state (no Redis). Both filters default off, so the default view is unchanged; this supersedes the earlier client-side "Configured Only" toggle (#6245) with an available-only dimension and unit-tested logic. Regression guard: `tests/unit/freeProviderRankings-filters.test.ts`.
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(dashboard):** adding a second API key connection for the same provider no longer silently overwrites the first — the Add-API-key modal now derives a unique default connection name (`main`, then `main-2`, `main-3`, …) so the backend name-based upsert can't collide (#6499 — thanks @dilneiss).
+- **fix(compression):** the session-dedup engine now also deduplicates a large multi-line block repeated **within a single message** (intra-message dedup), not just across turns; the compression-preview API surfaces a `fallbackReason`, and the fusion panel reports how many models were rate-limited vs failed on total-panel failure (#6501 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **fix(compression):** a stacked-pipeline step naming an unregistered engine now surfaces a `validationErrors` entry instead of silently no-op'ing, so misconfigured pipelines are visible in the preview API (#6506 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **feat(usage):** add a **Codex reset-credit redemption** flow to the Provider Limits UI ([#6361](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6361)) — a `useCodexResetCreditRedemption` hook + `/api/usage/codex-reset-credit` route + `codexResetCredits` lib let you redeem banked Codex reset credits from the quota card. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-reset-credits.test.ts`. (thanks @JxnLexn)
+- **feat(glm):** add **team-plan quota settings** for `glm-cn` connections ([#6351](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6351)) — a dedicated `GlmTeamQuotaFields` form section (team quota id / limits) threaded through the Add/Edit connection modals, persisted via `providerSpecificData`, with the GLM usage service reading the team quota. Regression guards: `tests/unit/glm-team-quota.test.ts`, `provider-specific-data-schema.test.ts`. (thanks @hao3039032)
+- **feat(providers):** add **TinyFish** web-fetch/search support ([#6349](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6349)) — a `tinyfish-fetch` executor + `/v1/web/fetch` route + MCP web-fetch tool, registered as a specialty-media provider with request-validation and a search-provider catalog entry. Regression guards: `tests/unit/executor-tinyfish-fetch.test.ts`, `web-fetch-handler.test.ts`, `mcp-web-fetch-tool.test.ts`, `provider-validation-tinyfish.test.ts`. (thanks @dtybnrj)
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute launch-codex` now spawns `codex.cmd` through a shell on Windows (the npm `.cmd` shim is unresolvable by bare `spawn` → ENOENT), mirroring the qodercli Windows fix (#6263) ([#6312](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6312)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/launch-codex-windows-spawn-6312.test.ts`. (thanks @swingtempo)
+- **fix(codex):** isolate the **Spark** quota from the shared Codex quota and stabilize the quota UI ordering / hydration so per-scope limits render consistently ([#6336](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6336)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/codex-quota-selection-hydration.test.ts`, `provider-limits-ui.test.ts` + 3 more. (thanks @xz-dev)
+- **feat(api):** add a `hidePaidModels` setting that filters paid-only models out of the `/v1/models` catalog. Regression guard: `tests/unit/models-catalog-hide-paid.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api-manager):** the fallback model picker now preserves combos instead of dropping them when a primary model is unavailable ([#6443](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6443)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api-manager-page-static.test.ts`. (thanks @jmengit)
+- **fix(providers):** recoverable Antigravity / Cloud-Code (Gemini Code Assist) `403` responses ([#6452](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6452)) are now classified as a retryable project-config error instead of a terminal account ban, so a fixable project/API-disabled 403 no longer forces a ~1-year cooldown / full OAuth reconnect. Regression guard: `tests/unit/errorclassifier-antigravity-403.test.ts`. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(mitm):** `sanitizeHeaders` now redacts `Set-Cookie` response headers so upstream session cookies never leak into logs / diagnostics ([#6451](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6451)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-sanitize-headers.test.ts`. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(api):** `/api/compression/preview` now accepts `mode: "caveman"` and correctly handles stacked / zero-compression previews ([#6425](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6425)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api/compression-preview-caveman-and-stacked-6425.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Zed** hosted LLM aggregator as a native-app provider ([#6118](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6118)) — OAuth sign-in via the Zed hosted flow, registered through the shared provider registry + executor. Regression guards: `tests/unit/zed-oauth-provider.test.ts`, `zed-import-utils.test.ts`, `zed-docker-detect.test.ts`, `mitm-handler-zed.test.ts`. VPS-validated via live operator login (Hard Rule #18).
+- **fix(oauth):** the Kiro SSO-cache auto-import now **preserves the IDC region** — cross-region Amazon Q / Kiro profiles imported from the SSO cache are no longer collapsed to the default region ([#6113](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6113)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kiro-auto-import-idc-2059.test.ts`. VPS-validated via live operator login (Hard Rule #18).
+- **fix(dashboard):** passthrough model aliases no longer collide when two namespaced model ids share a last segment (port from 9router#1850, [#6431](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6431)). `enx/gpt-5.5` and `enx/codebuddy/gpt-5.5` both auto-generated the alias `gpt-5.5`, so the second model could never be added (the UI just alerted "alias already exists"). Aliases are now disambiguated deterministically — bare last segment when free, then parent-qualified (`codebuddy-gpt-5.5`), then a numeric suffix — while re-adding the exact same model id is still blocked. Regression guard: `tests/unit/passthrough-alias-1850.test.ts`. (thanks @arpicato)
+- **fix(translator):** preserve a Gemini `functionResponse` co-located with other parts (another `functionCall`, or trailing `text`) in the same content when translating **Gemini → OpenAI** ([#6376](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6376)). `convertGeminiContent()` early-returned the tool message on the first `functionResponse` part, dropping any co-located parts; such contents are now pre-split (one tool message per `functionResponse`, emitted first, plus one message for the remaining parts). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-to-openai-function-response.test.ts`. (thanks @warelik)
+- **fix(headroom):** detect a python interpreter managed by **mise / pyenv / asdf / conda** (port from 9router#2353, [#6382](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6382)). Headroom's python probe (`src/lib/headroom/detect.ts`) searched a hardcoded `PATH`, but version managers expose their interpreters via shim dirs that only join `PATH` through interactive-shell activation — which the non-interactive server never runs, so a managed python (≥3.10) was invisible and Headroom reported it missing. The search path now prepends the well-known shim/bin dirs (`~/.local/share/mise/shims`, `~/.pyenv/shims`, `~/.asdf/shims`, `$CONDA_PREFIX/bin`, `~/.local/bin`, respecting `MISE_DATA_DIR`/`PYENV_ROOT`/`ASDF_DATA_DIR` when set), and a new `HEADROOM_PYTHON` env override lets operators point straight at their interpreter (mirroring `HEADROOM_URL`). Still shell-free (`execFileSync`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/headroom-detect.test.ts` (5). (thanks @loopyd)
+- **fix(executors):** strip the OpenAI-Codex/Claude-CLI `client_metadata` passthrough field for **NVIDIA** requests (port from 9router#1887, [#6411](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6411)). NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible wrapper rejects it with `400 Unsupported parameter`, the same class already handled for `cerebras`/`mistral`; `nvidia` (executor `default`) was missing from the strip allowlist so Codex/Claude-Code passthrough requests 400'd. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executor-default-strip-client-metadata.test.ts` (+nvidia case). (thanks @phidinhmanh)
+- **fix(translator):** strip the Claude-style `thinking` field for **NVIDIA `z-ai/glm-5.2`** (port from 9router#2023, [#6413](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6413)). NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible wrapper 400s on `thinking` (a Claude-format client routed here leaves a `thinking:{type:"adaptive"}`); the existing strip rule only dropped `reasoning`. Same class already handled for `minimax-m2.7`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-minimax-thinking-strip.test.ts` (+glm-5.2 case). (thanks @phidinhmanh)
+- **fix(translator):** suppress the streamed `</think>` close marker for the **Antigravity IDE** client (port from 9router#1061, [#6415](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6415)). On thinking-only turns Antigravity rendered a bare `</think>` as the sole visible content, tripping its loop-detection and wasting requests. Antigravity's UA (`vscode/<v> (Antigravity/<v>)`) is added to the marker-suppress allowlist (alongside OpenCode); Claude Code / Cursor still get the marker, and `x-omniroute-thinking-marker: on` force-restores it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/think-close-marker-suppress-5245.test.ts`. (thanks @abdofallah)
+- **fix(executors):** strip nested `reasoning_content` from messages for **Mistral** (port from 9router#1649, [#6417](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6417)). Mistral's API returns `422 extra_forbidden` when an assistant message carries `reasoning_content` (replayed thinking from a prior turn, e.g. via the Codex `/responses` path); the generic top-level 400 field-downgrade retry never covered the nested per-message field. `DefaultExecutor` now strips it for provider `mistral` only, so DeepSeek (which requires replayed `reasoning_content`) is unaffected. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mistral-strip-reasoning-content-1649.test.ts`. (thanks @xxy9468615)
+- **fix(executors):** strip the `client_metadata` passthrough field on the **OpenCode** path (port from 9router#1442, [#6418](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6418)). OpenCode upstreams (e.g. `kimi-k2.6` via opencode-go) reject it with `400 "Extra inputs are not permitted, field: 'client_metadata'"`; the DefaultExecutor strip only covered cerebras/mistral and `OpencodeExecutor` extends `BaseExecutor` directly, so nothing removed it there. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-strip-client-metadata-1442.test.ts`. (thanks @yanpaing007)
+- **fix(executors):** inject the `reasoning_content` echo for the native **Moonshot Kimi** provider (port from 9router#1480, [#6419](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6419)). Kimi (executor `default`) is a thinking-mode upstream that 400s with "reasoning_content must be passed back" when a prior assistant turn lacks it; the placeholder injection was only wired into the OpenCode meta-provider, so direct multi-turn Kimi conversations failed. Scoped to `kimi` (gateway-served models matching the thinking-model name pattern are unaffected). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kimi-native-reasoning-injected-1480.test.ts`. (thanks @2220258345)
+- **fix(executors):** recover from a strict gateway's `context_management: Extra inputs are not permitted` 400 (port from 9router#1468, [#6420](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6420)). **Claude Code** always sends a top-level `context_management` field; strict anthropic-compatible gateways reject it. The dedicated context-editing 400-fallback only fired when OmniRoute's own `contextEditing` feature was enabled (default off), so a client-sent field passed through untouched and 400'd. `context_management` is now in the generic reactive field-strip list, so it's stripped-and-retried once regardless of the feature flag (with correct request re-signing for claude-compatible relays). Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-field-strips.test.ts`. (thanks @ohahe52-dot)
+- **fix(network):** enable **RFC 8305 Happy Eyeballs** (`autoSelectFamily`) on the direct-egress undici dispatcher (port from 9router#1237, [#6423](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6423)). When DNS returns both IPv6 (AAAA) and IPv4 (A) and the IPv6 route is broken (e.g. a NAT64 `64:ff9b::` prefix without routing), undici tried IPv6 first and hung until `ETIMEDOUT` (then a 502 + account lockout), even though `curl` reached the same host. The direct dispatcher now races both families and uses whichever connects first. Proxy paths pin family via `proxyTls` and are unaffected. Regression guard: `tests/unit/direct-dispatcher-pipelining-4580.test.ts`. (thanks @adentdk)
+- **fix(combo):** round-robin now advances the rotation pointer past the model that **actually served**, not the eagerly-scheduled one (port from 9router#948, [#6428](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6428)). With `stickyLimit: 1` (true round-robin), when the scheduled model failed and a _different_ model served via fallback, the counter had already advanced +1 from the scheduled index — so the next request reused the fallback-served model, degrading round-robin into hot-spotting on whichever model was healthy. The pointer now advances to the served index + 1 (mirroring the sticky-limit>1 path). Session-stickiness (#3825) and distribution are preserved. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-rr-fallback-advance-948.test.ts`. (thanks @binsarjr)
+- **fix(sse):** a non-string `model` field is now rejected with a `400` before the resolver, instead of crashing downstream `.toLowerCase()`/`.split()` calls into an empty-body `500` that escapes the error sanitizer ([#6407](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6407)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/chat-non-string-model-6407.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** unknown `/api/*` routes now return a JSON `404` (instead of the dashboard HTML shell) and scalar chat params (`model`/`temperature`/etc.) are validated **before** the provider lookup so malformed requests fail fast with a clear `400` ([#6424](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6424), [#6412](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6412)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/api/api-catchall-json-404.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chat-early-schema-validation-6412.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/chat/completions` now rejects a non-JSON `Content-Type` with a `400` before parsing the body ([#6414](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6414)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-chat-completions-content-type-6414.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the `X-OmniRoute-Compression` response header is now echoed on `/v1/chat/completions` and `/v1/completions` ([#6422](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6422)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression-header-echo-6422.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** concurrent `GET /v1/models` requests are coalesced into a single catalog build ([#6408](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6408)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-models-concurrent-6408.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/completions` now echoes the requested `body.model` in its JSON + streamed responses ([#6429](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6429)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/completions-body-model-echo.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** env-var master keys now see the full `/v1/models` catalog ([#6406](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6406)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/models-catalog-envkey-6406.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** non-streaming `/v1/completions` responses now echo `body.model` aligned with the `X-OmniRoute-Model` header ([#6426](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6426)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-completions-model-header-match-6426.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** unknown `/v1/*` routes now return a JSON `404 not_found` instead of the Next.js dashboard HTML shell ([#6405](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6405)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api/v1-catchall-json-404.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the per-connection provider models route now degrades to the shipped catalog when a provider's `/models` endpoint answers with a redirect ([#6267](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6267)) — a `qwen-web` import failed with a raw `Redirect blocked … (307)` 503. `safeOutboundFetch` throws `REDIRECT_BLOCKED` on the 307, `getSafeOutboundFetchErrorStatus` maps it to 503, and `buildDiscoveryErrorFallbackResponse` treated every 503 as a hard error — so the non-empty `getModelsByProviderId("qwen-web")` catalog was never surfaced. A models-endpoint redirect is not a fixable-config error (unlike `URL_GUARD_BLOCKED`/`INVALID_URL`, which stay hard errors), so it now falls back to the local/cached catalog before the 503 short-circuit. General fix — covers any config-driven provider that 307s. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-qwen-web-redirect-6267.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the per-connection provider models route (MCP `list_models_catalog` + the dashboard import view) now merges USER-ADDED custom models into its response ([#6247](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6247)) — custom models live in the `key_value` namespace `customModels`, which the live REST `/api/v1/models` already merges, but `src/app/api/providers/[id]/models/route.ts` never read `getCustomModels`, so custom models were dropped on both the discovery-success and local_catalog paths. They are now folded into the returned model list (deduped by id, stamped `owned_by: provider`), fixing MCP + the dashboard import view in one place. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-custom-merge-6247.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo tool-calling follow-up turns no longer fail upstream with `422 {"detail":"Validation error"}` (tokens 0/0, rejected pre-inference). The #6234 tool-result-feedback fix serialized the **entire** multi-turn conversation into GitLab's single-file `code_suggestions` (`small_file`) generation endpoint — folded history that turn-N sent as an oversized `current_file.content_above_cursor` **and** duplicated verbatim into `user_instruction`, tripping the AI-Gateway's `small_file` validation guard. The executor now **bounds** that prompt: it keeps system + latest user message + the most-recent tool round (dropping older turns), caps oversized tool results, and stops duplicating the full prompt into `user_instruction` (which now carries only the short latest user message) — while still feeding the most-recent tool result back so the agent continues (`open-sse/executors/gitlab.ts`, [#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)). The unit test covers the bounding logic; the upstream 422→200 clearing is VPS-only (Hard Rule #18). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-exchange-bounded-6220.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(i18n):** the provider-detail (`/dashboard/providers/[id]`) connection-status filter labels no longer render as `__MISSING__:All` / `__MISSING__:Active` / `__MISSING__:Error` / `__MISSING__:Banned` / `__MISSING__:CreditsExhausted` in non-English locales (notably pt-BR) ([#6290](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6290)). Root cause was **not** the namespace mismatch the issue guessed — the `providers.filter*` keys resolve correctly in `en.json`; the debt lived in the locale mirrors (`src/i18n/messages/*.json`), where these five keys carried the `__MISSING__:` sync sentinel in ~15 locales and were absent entirely in ~26 others, so next-intl found the key and echoed the sentinel verbatim. All 40 non-English/-Chinese mirrors now ship real translations for the five `providers.filter*` labels. Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-provider-filter-keys-6290.test.ts`. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(providers):** the `copilot-m365-web` streaming executor now emits `debug`-level WebSocket diagnostics ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)) — the outbound WS URL (with the `access_token` **redacted** via `redactWsUrl()`), handshake success/failure, and each received SignalR frame's `type`/`target`. Previously the streaming path logged nothing, so an empty `content:null` response (the M365 Education / Starter tier symptom fixed in #6234) was undiagnosable even at `APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug`. The change is debug-level and side-effect-free — it does not alter streaming behavior or the frame parser, and the token never reaches the logs. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-web-logging-6210.test.ts` (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(resilience):** a round-robin combo no longer returns `503 all upstream accounts are unavailable` when a compatibility-rejected target is actually healthy ([#6238](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6238)). `filterTargetsByRequestCompatibility` drops request-incompatible targets (tool/vision/structured-output unsupported, or below the required context window) **before** any availability check runs, and its `compatible.length === 0` safety net only fired when _all_ targets were filtered — not when the kept targets later all turned out runtime-unavailable (circuit-open / cooldown / no credentials). So a combo could 503 while a compat-rejected-but-healthy provider sat unused. `handleRoundRobinCombo` now keeps the compat-rejected set and, when every compat-kept target was skipped without a single real attempt, probes those rejected targets as a **last-resort fallback tier** (via the new pure `open-sse/services/combo/comboCompatFallback.ts`) before crystallizing the 503. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-roundrobin-compat-fallback-6238.test.ts`. (thanks @ThongAccount)
+
+- **fix(startup):** best-effort self-heal for a corrupted Turbopack dev cache on Windows ([#6289](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6289)). On Windows, `pnpm dev` can fail at startup when Turbopack `mmap`s a persistent-cache SST file and the OS refuses the mapping (`os error 1455` — "paging file too small"), which Turbopack surfaces as a misleading `Module not found: Can't resolve '@/shared/utils/machine'`. This is a **known upstream Turbopack cache-corruption bug — not our code**. The dev launcher (`scripts/dev/run-next.mjs`) now wraps `nextApp.prepare()` and, when it rejects with that signature (`isTurbopackCacheCorruption` in the new `scripts/dev/turbopackCacheHeal.mjs`), purges `.build/next/**/cache/turbopack` and retries **once** with a clear log. **Caveat — best-effort only:** the corruption often surfaces as a runtime overlay rather than a `prepare()` rejection, so this cannot always intercept it; the reliable remedy remains manually deleting the Turbopack cache dir. Regression guard: `tests/unit/turbopack-cache-heal-6289.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(providers):** qodercli PAT auth no longer fails with `spawn qodercli ENOENT` on Windows ([#6263](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6263)) — `spawnQoderCli` spawned the bare `qodercli` name with `shell:false` and an unenriched env, so the npm `.cmd` wrapper under `%APPDATA%\npm` (a user-PATH directory) was never resolved. It now resolves the absolute `.cmd`/`.exe` path through the existing `getCliRuntimeStatus("qoder")` resolver in `src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts` (memoized), spawns with `shell` when the target is a `.cmd`/`.bat`, and uses the cliRuntime-enriched env (PATH + PATHEXT + APPDATA); the ENOENT error now lists the searched paths plus the `CLI_QODER_BIN` override. End-to-end spawn on a real Windows host is host-only (Hard Rule #18); the path-resolution logic is unit-tested. Regression guard: `tests/unit/qodercli-windows-resolve-6263.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(sse):** the reasoning-token buffer no longer inflates **probe-sized `max_tokens`** ([#6274](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6274)) — Claude Code's `/model` capability check sends `max_tokens: 1`, but for a thinking-capable model with a large output cap (e.g. `glm-5.2`) the #3587 headroom heuristic (`max(current + 1000, ceil(current * 1.5))`) rewrote it to `1001` and forwarded that upstream, wasting tokens on a request that was never a genuine reasoning budget. `resolveReasoningBufferedMaxTokens()` (`open-sse/services/reasoningTokenBuffer.ts`) now short-circuits and returns the caller's value verbatim when it is below the new `REASONING_BUFFER_MIN_TRIGGER` (256) threshold — a tiny explicit limit is a probe, not a reasoning request. Real budgets still receive the #3587 headroom unchanged, and the guard runs after the existing capability checks so unknown / non-reasoning models keep returning `null`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/reasoning-token-buffer-6274.test.ts`. (thanks @brightfiscalband)
+
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute reset-password` now works as a real subcommand, and password resets over piped (non-TTY) stdin actually apply ([#6261](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6261), [#6258](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6258)). Two coupled defects: (1) **#6261** — `bin/omniroute.mjs` routed everything through Commander with only two pre-Commander bypasses (`--mcp`, `reset-encrypted-columns`), so `omniroute reset-password` was rejected as an unknown command; only the separate `omniroute-reset-password` bin worked, while the docs falsely advertised the subcommand (incl. a bogus "legacy alias still works"). A pre-Commander bypass mirroring `reset-encrypted-columns` now dynamically imports `bin/reset-password.mjs` (which self-executes) before Commander parses; the three doc lines were corrected. (2) **#6258** — `bin/reset-password.mjs` issued two sequential `rl.question` prompts; under piped stdin the second read never settled at EOF, so `main()` never reached `resetManagementPassword` and the reset was a silent no-op (both prompts printed, no success, password unchanged). The CLI now detects non-TTY stdin and reads it once (first line = password, second line = confirm if present, else reused), adds a `--password-stdin` flag (entire stdin is the password, no confirmation), and exits `0` explicitly so the success line always flushes; interactive TTY behavior is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/reset-password-cli-6261-6258.test.ts` (3). (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(db):** the mass-migration **safety abort** now tells the operator how to bypass it and stops flooding the log ([#6260](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6260)) — after restoring a backup that wiped the migration tracking table, `runMigrations()` threw the abort on every downstream `ensureDbInitialized()`, re-logging the full banner 11+ times, and the message never mentioned the existing `OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS` escape hatch. The abort text now appends a bypass hint (set `OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS=0` in `server.env` / `DATA_DIR/.env`), and a new `MigrationSafetyAbortError` is memoized so repeated calls in the same process throw the same instance and emit a single concise line instead of the full cascade. Regression guard: `tests/unit/migration-safety-abort-6260.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(auth):** importing a **distinct** Codex/ChatGPT OAuth `auth.json` is no longer falsely rejected as "already exists" when it belongs to a different user in the same workspace ([#6301](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6301)). `findExistingCodexConnection` (in `src/lib/oauth/utils/codexAuthImport.ts`) deduped **only** on `providerSpecificData.workspaceId === accountId`, where `accountId` is the shared `chatgpt_account_id`/`tokens.account_id` — so two members of the same ChatGPT Team collapsed onto a single connection (409 `duplicate_account`). The id_token's `https://api.openai.com/auth` claim carries a per-user `chatgpt_user_id` alongside the workspace id (the device-flow path already persisted it as `chatgptUserId`, but the import path did not). Now `parseAndValidateCodexAuth` extracts `userId` (`chatgpt_user_id` → `user_id` → JWT `sub`) into `ParsedCodexAuth`, the create/update paths persist `chatgptUserId` in `providerSpecificData` (mirroring `codex.ts`), and dedup keys on `workspaceId` **AND** `chatgptUserId` — with a backward-compat fallback to legacy accountId-only matching when no stored connection for that workspace records a `chatgptUserId`, so genuinely-same accounts still dedup. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-auth-import-userid-dedup-6301.test.ts` (4). (thanks @anungma)
+
+- **fix(providers):** importing models for the **venice-web** provider no longer fails with a red "Provider venice-web does not support models listing" ([#6269](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6269)). `venice-web` is a web-cookie provider with an executor but no upstream `/v1/models` endpoint and no registry `models`, so the models route fell through to the tail `400`. Mirroring the `jules`/`linkup-search`/`ollama-search` fix (#5569), it now ships a static local catalog entry in `src/lib/providers/staticModels.ts` — seeding the current Venice lineup (`venice-uncensored`, `llama-3.3-70b`, `qwen3-235b`, `qwen3-4b`, `deepseek-r1-671b`; Venice rotates its catalog, see docs.venice.ai/models/overview) — so the route returns `200` with `source:"local_catalog"`, `intentional:true`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/static-models-venice-web-6269.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(api):** the specialty model catalogs (`/v1/embeddings`, `/v1/images`, `/v1/music`, `/v1/videos` model lists) are now derived from the **unified catalog filtered by a predicate** (`getSpecialtyModelsResponse`) instead of ad-hoc per-route logic, so they consistently respect active-credential visibility and stay in sync with the main catalog ([#6303](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6303)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/specialty-model-catalog-routes.test.ts`. (thanks @makcimbx)
+- **fix(api):** the agent-bridge server route now resolves the MITM manager via a **dynamic `import("@/mitm/manager.runtime")`** so Turbopack does not statically pull the stub (or over-bundle the manager), and the agent-skills generator anchors its output base path with `path.join(process.cwd(), …)` so Turbopack's static analyzer stops tracing the whole project root ([#6329](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6329), [#6366](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6366)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/agent-bridge-server-route-dynamic-import.test.ts`. (thanks @Iammilansoni)
+- **fix(api):** internal probes (combo-test, cloud-sync verify) now pick a **management-scoped / allow-all API key** instead of naively grabbing `getApiKeys()[0]` — a restricted `self:usage` first row made the probe fail with "Model X is not allowed for this API key" even when the combo path was healthy (`pickApiKeyForInternalUse` in `src/lib/db/apiKeys.ts`). The API-manager model editor also falls back to `/api/models?all=true` when `/v1/models` is catalog-protected ([#6372](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6372)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/pick-internal-api-key-6372.test.ts`. (thanks @jmengit)
+- **fix(live-ws):** the Live Dashboard WebSocket server now **rejects on bind failure** (e.g. `EADDRINUSE` when the API bridge already holds the port) instead of letting the error surface as an unhandled `error` event that crash-loops the process — the `error` listener is attached to `wss` (not `server`) and releases the EventBus subscription on a failed start ([#6324](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6324)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/live-ws-eaddrinuse-6324.test.ts`. (thanks @vinayakkulkarni)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the Home provider-topology widget now trusts the live provider-metrics snapshot — it uses `topology.errorProvider` and live `activeRequests` directly instead of re-deriving state from a stale `lastErrorAt` or applying a frontend timeout filter, so the topology reflects real-time provider health ([#6322](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6322)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/home-provider-topology-live-state.test.ts`. (thanks @xz-dev)
+- **fix(sse):** strip zero-width markers from streamed **tool-call arguments** — a follow-up to [#5857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5857). That PR removed injected zero-width joiners (U+200D) from streamed assistant text/reasoning but deliberately left tool-call argument JSON byte-exact. The request-side obfuscation (`open-sse/services/claudeCodeObfuscation.ts`) injects ZWJ into agent words — including the temp path inside the Bash tool description — and Claude models copy that verbatim into generated commands, which are delivered as tool-call arguments rather than assistant text. As a result the ZWJ survived and corrupted code blocks (e.g. a temp path rendered with an invisible joiner). Now `open-sse/handlers/responseSanitizer.ts` strips zero-width code points from tool-call argument strings at every emit site (OpenAI non-stream/stream chat `tool_calls` + legacy `function_call`, native Responses `function_call` items, the OpenAI→Responses conversion, and the native Responses streaming `response.function_call_arguments.delta/.done` events). Only zero-width code points are removed; JSON structure and all other bytes stay identical (no parse/restringify), so normal arguments remain byte-exact. Regression guard: 6 new cases in `tests/unit/response-sanitizer.test.ts` (suite 50/50).
+
+- **fix(nodejs):** the default app log path now resolves under `DATA_DIR` (`~/.omniroute/logs/application/app.log`) instead of `process.cwd()` ([#6197](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6197)) — the globally-installed CLI runs from an arbitrary working directory, so anchoring the default to cwd made file logging silently write to (or no-op under) an unrelated directory, contradicting the documented `.env.example` default. `getAppLogFilePath()` now computes the default lazily via the pure `resolveDataDir()` resolver (honours a per-process `DATA_DIR`, no directory-creation side effect); an explicit `APP_LOG_FILE_PATH` still wins. Regression guard: `tests/unit/logenv-datadir-path-6197.test.ts` (3).
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge/`startMitm` no longer aborts in containers/headless when the Antigravity-default DNS step can't write `/etc/hosts` ([#6127](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6127)), and the privileged command's stderr now reaches `app.log` instead of only a bare exit code hitting the toast ([#6198](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6198)). The default DNS step (`addDNSEntry`) was called unguarded while cert install and the two sibling DNS steps were each best-effort — in the runtime Docker image (`USER node`, no `sudo`, read-only `/etc/hosts`) it threw `Command failed with code 1` out of `startMitmInternal` and killed the whole start, discarding the stderr. The three DNS steps are extracted into a best-effort `provisionDnsEntries()` where each failure is logged with the full `err` (stderr included, folded in by `systemCommands.ts`) and never aborts the start. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-dns-graceful-degrade-6127.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** copilot-m365-web now supports the M365 Education "Starter / OfficeWebIncludedCopilot" tier and no longer returns an empty `content:null` stream ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)). Two gaps: (1) `buildWsUrl()` hardcoded the individual-consumer scenario (`OfficeWebPaidConsumerCopilot`, `isEdu=false`) — the EDU tier is now opt-in via `providerSpecificData.tier="edu"`, emitting `scenario=OfficeWebIncludedCopilot`/`isEdu=true` (the individual path is unchanged); (2) the EDU/GPT-5.5 path streams deltas via `arguments[0].writeAtCursor` (incremental) instead of only `messages[].text` (accumulated snapshots), which the parser dropped — a new `accumulateBotContent()` folds both formats, with `type:2 item.result.message` as a last-resort fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-edu-writeatcursor-6210.test.ts` (10). (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo executor now feeds tool results back into the prompt instead of looping ([#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)) — `buildPrompt()` branched only on `system`/`user` and took `userParts.at(-1)`, silently dropping the `assistant{tool_calls}` + `tool{result}` turns the client appended, so the reconstructed prompt was byte-identical to turn 1 and the model re-emitted the same `<tool>` call forever. When a tool exchange is present the full conversation is now serialized, folding each tool result back keyed by its `tool_call_id`; simple conversations keep the legacy shape. Complements the tool_call emission from [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051) (the `kilo-duplicate` label was a false positive — different, sequential defect). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-result-feedback-6220.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** opencode-go/opencode-zen can now synthesize the OpenCode CLI identity headers Cloudflare requires on VPS egress ([#5997](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5997)) — on a datacenter VPS, `opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/chat/completions` 403s (HTML challenge) requests lacking CLI identity, while the reporter's control curl proved that `User-Agent: opencode-cli/1.0.0` + `x-opencode-client: cli` + `x-opencode-project: default` + fresh request/session UUIDs succeed. Opt-in via `OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS=true` (values overridable via `OPENCODE_GO_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_CLIENT`/`OPENCODE_PROJECT`); it fills only headers the client did not already send. Kept **off by default** — the forward-only path is deliberate (fabricating a wrong value risks upstream rejection; a prior dedup regressed with `opencode/local`), so this replaces the fragile local header-injection shim without changing default behavior. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-cli-headers-synthesis-5997.test.ts` (6). (thanks @aleksesipenko)
+- fix(resilience): sticky session affinity now evicts and fails over to another account when the pinned account is exhausted/unavailable (#6219)
+
+- fix(sse): Responses API passthrough now drops internal commentary-phase output before forwarding to clients (gated by RESPONSES_PASSTHROUGH_DROP_COMMENTARY, default on) (#6199)
+
+- **fix(sse):** tool-call function schemas with a root `type: null` are now coerced to `type: "object"` before dispatch ([#6359](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6359)) — clients like the Codex app emit `parameters: { type: null, ... }` for some tools, which OpenAI-compatible upstreams reject with `400 Invalid schema for function '...': schema must be a JSON Schema of 'type: "object"', got 'type: null'`, failing the whole request. `toolSchemaSanitizer` already stripped the null; it now re-adds the mandatory root `"object"` type (and empty `properties`/open `additionalProperties` when absent). Combinator roots (`anyOf`/`oneOf`/`allOf`) and explicit root types are left untouched. Regression guard: 5 new cases in `tests/unit/tool-schema-sanitizer.test.mjs`.
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge no longer fails to start on npm/Electron/VPS installs with "MITM manager stub reached at runtime" ([#6344](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6344)) — v3.8.45 flipped the production bundler default to Turbopack, but `next.config.mjs` aliased `@/mitm/manager` to its Docker-only degraded stub **unconditionally**. That was harmless while Docker (which sets the alias intentionally for #3390 graceful degradation) was the sole Turbopack consumer, but once every artifact built with Turbopack the stub shipped to all non-Docker users and `startMitm` threw on the first Agent-Bridge start. The alias is now opt-in via `OMNIROUTE_MITM_STUB=1` (set only by the Dockerfile) through the shared `scripts/build/mitm-stub-flag.mjs` helper; default builds bundle the real manager. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-stub-alias-6344.test.mjs` (4).
+
+- **fix(proxy):** stop the v3.8.44 proxy regression that leaked the real IP and disabled healthy proxies ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Two coupled defects from the new health scheduler: (1) **IP leak** — when a proxy assigned to a connection was marked `inactive`, resolution fell through to a **direct** egress instead of blocking, exposing the operator's real IP; (2) **over-deactivation** — the sweep flipped a proxy to `inactive` on the **first** failed probe and counted our own 5s timeout / a probe-target `5xx` as the proxy's fault, so healthy paid proxies vanished from egress selection ("my proxies are not being used anymore"). Fix: the sweep decision is extracted into a pure, network-free `decideProxyHealthAction` (`src/lib/proxyHealth/decision.ts`) — by default the health check now **only counts/logs and never downgrades status** (a proxy is downgraded/removed only with `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE=true`, after `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE_AFTER` **consecutive** conclusive failures); probes are classified tri-state so an inconclusive result (our timeout, or a `5xx` from the probe target) never penalizes the proxy, and the probe timeout is raised 5s→15s. Separately, `safeResolveProxy` now **fails closed** via the existing policy: a connection whose assigned proxy is dead is blocked instead of leaking direct (`hasBlockingProxyAssignment`), honoring the explicit `proxy off` toggles and the `PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true` opt-out. Existing proxies stuck `inactive` by the old behavior need a one-time manual re-activate (the operator owns proxy status). Regression guards: `tests/unit/proxy-health-decide-action-6246.test.ts`, `tests/unit/proxy-assigned-unavailable-6246.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(proxy):** make "Test All" read-only and add bulk enable/disable ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Complements the core fail-closed / scheduler fix (#6296) with the two remaining reporter asks. (1) The **"Test All" button** (`POST /api/settings/proxies/auto-test`) used to flip a proxy to `inactive` on a failed reachability probe; since the egress selector excludes `inactive` proxies, a flaky probe (an unreachable `httpbin.org`, a proxy that blocks `HEAD`, or a slow paid proxy) silently disabled every proxy that failed — "Test All" is now **read-only by default** (only the operator sets a proxy active/inactive; opt back into the legacy test-and-set with `PROXY_HEALTH_AUTO_DEACTIVATE=true`). (2) Adds a **bulk enable/disable** proxies endpoint + toolbar action (`POST /api/settings/proxies/batch-activate`) so an operator can re-activate proxies in one click. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-health-6246.test.ts`. (thanks @tenshiak)
+
+- **chatcore (tools): stop the default 128-tool cap from silently dropping opencode's `task`/MCP tools.** opencode (used as an MCP/agent host) sends a large tool list; when it exceeds the speculative `MAX_TOOLS_LIMIT` (128) default, `truncateToolList` did a blind `tools.slice(0, 128)`, dropping every tool past index 128 — including opencode's built-in `task` tool (subagent launch) and many MCP tools, so models routed through OmniRoute could no longer spawn subagents or reach part of their tools. The cap exists to avoid upstream `400`s for providers with real hard limits (e.g. grok-cli 200), so it is kept for those: detection of the opencode client (`isOpencodeClient` — any `x-opencode-*` header, or `opencode` in the user-agent) now only bypasses the **speculative 128 default**, never a known provider ceiling. Precedence is explicit — a proactive/detected provider limit always truncates (even for opencode); otherwise opencode forwards its full tool list; otherwise the unchanged 128 default applies to every other client. Refactors `getEffectiveToolLimit` into `getKnownToolLimit(provider) ?? DEFAULT_LIMIT` (byte-identical for existing callers) and fixes a cosmetic debug-log that reported the truncated count instead of the original. Regression guard: `tests/unit/tool-limit-detector.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the macOS MITM-cert install check now matches the system keychain again. `security find-certificate -a -Z` prints the SHA-1 as a colon-less hex string, but the installed-check compared it against `getCertFingerprint()`'s colon-separated form, so the substring match never hit — the cert was reported as not-installed and re-prompted for the sudo install on every run. Fingerprints are now normalized (colons stripped, upper-cased) on both sides via the extracted `macCertOutputHasFingerprint` helper. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-cert-mac-fingerprint.test.ts`. ([#6204](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6204), closes [#6134](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6134) — thanks @rianonehub)
+
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/messages/count_tokens` now counts `tool_use`, `tool_result` and `thinking` content blocks (and array-form `system` prompts) in the local-estimation path, instead of only `text`. Real agentic conversations keep ~95% of their tokens inside tool results; the previous estimate returned near-zero for them, which silently broke Claude Code's auto-compaction (context grew past the window with no compaction until the upstream API rejected the request). The real provider-side count path is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/messages-count-tokens-route.test.ts`. ([#6221](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6221) — thanks @luweiCN)
+
+- **fix(antigravity):** strip a trailing assistant prefill turn for Vertex Claude models to avoid upstream 400s ([#6114](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6114)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-claude-prefill-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(security):** the mutable cloud-agent routes (`/api/cloud/credentials/update`, `/api/cloud/models/alias`) now require management auth instead of being treated as public. They were classified as public API routes, so a request without management credentials could update stored cloud-agent credentials and model aliases. They are removed from the public-route set, classified as management routes in the authz pipeline, and gated by `requireManagementAuth`; cloud **read**/auth routes stay public. Regression guards: `tests/unit/cloud-write-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts`, `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6233](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6233) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+
+- **refactor(dashboard):** extract the onboarding-wizard "Open provider details" link target into a pure, unit-tested `buildProviderDetailsHref(connection)` helper. The wizard already routes by `connection.id` (the node UUID) rather than the provider category slug (#6144/#6145); this hardens that behavior behind a tested helper that guards a missing id/connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-onboarding-href.test.ts`. ([#6166](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6166) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+
+- **fix(security):** the doubao synthetic device-id generator now derives its digits via an unbiased crypto-random draw (rejection sampling over `crypto.randomBytes()`) instead of a `% 10` reduction, closing a CodeQL `js/biased-cryptographic-random` finding.
+- **fix(agentSkills):** the GitHub-skills generator now resolves `outputDir` to an absolute path before writing, fixing a regression introduced by #6366 (relative-to-cwd base path) that could write generated skill files to the wrong directory.
+- **fix(security):** `/api/keys/{id}/devices` now checks the HTTP method before auth/validation, returning a `405` for non-GET/DELETE verbs instead of a misleading `401`/`500` (closes a `dast-smoke` QUERY-method finding).
+- **fix(quality):** clear the last 2 heavy quality-gate reds on the release tip (cycle pre-flight).
+- **fix(mitm):** the test suite and CI can never mutate the OS trust store — `OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1` is set globally for tests/CI so `installCert`/`uninstallCert`/`installTproxyCa` skip the privileged OS dispatch ([#6310](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6310); full detail is under the [3.8.45] section below — this branch received it via the parallel-cycle sync-back).
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/github-skills` now Zod-validates its request body; documented the new quality-gate env vars and pinned the merge-integrity GitHub Actions to a commit SHA.
+- **fix(skills):** generate the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry and align the agent-skills catalog-count tests (follow-up to #6186).
+- **fix(quality):** clear the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors and make `validate-release-green` suppressions-aware.
+- **fix(security):** proxy-pool `random` rotation now selects via `crypto.randomInt` instead of `Math.random` — silences the post-release CodeQL `js/insecure-randomness` alerts (#698/#699) that flagged `Math.random` flowing into the selected proxy's credentials. Load-balancing selection is not a secret, but the crypto source is unbiased and clears the alert at the origin (#6365 follow-up).
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **i18n(it):** add 118 missing Italian (`it`) translations (net-additive — no existing keys dropped, valid JSON), improving Italian UI coverage. ([#6212](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6212) — thanks @serverless83)
+- **chore(providers):** remove deprecated **MiMo V2** model entries from the catalogs (xiaomi-mimo, opencode-go, zenmux-free, audio TTS) — the upstream V2 line is superseded by MiMo V2.5; drops `mimo-v2-tts`, `mimo-v2-pro`, `mimo-v2-omni`, `mimo-v2-flash`, `mimo-v2-flash-free` and realigns the provider-catalog tests. ([#6248](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6248) — thanks @backryun)
+- **chore(release):** ~50 commits on this branch are v3.8.45 pre-flight/hardening fixes and CI-perf work that landed here via the parallel-cycle sync-back (`sync-next-cycle.mjs`, Hard Rule #21) **after** the `v3.8.45` git tag was cut, and are already fully documented under the **[3.8.45]** section below — listed here only so the per-cycle commit-coverage check (`npm run release:uncovered`) doesn't flag them as gaps. Provider/catalog/UX/backend fixes: #6041, #6078, #6108, #6135, #6148, #6149, #6154, #6158, #6161, #6162, #6163, #6164, #6165, #6170, #6177, #6178, #6181, #6186, #6187, #6191, #6193, #6194, #6195, #6200, #6205, #6208, #6209, #6211, #6213, #6223, #6224, #6225, #6226, #6227, #6228, #6229, #6230, #6235, #6291, #6292. CI/release-pipeline work: #6167, #6203, #6214, #6215, #6218, #6273, #6275, #6283, #6284, #6285, #6300, #6305.
+- **chore(release):** additional zero-ref release-cycle plumbing on this branch, kept out of `release:uncovered` on purpose (no `#N` in the commit subject to cite): opening the v3.8.46 cycle, opening/closing the v3.8.45 cycle, the finalized [3.8.45] CHANGELOG i18n sync-back to 42 mirrors, the v3.8.45 cognitive/cyclomatic and file-size drift rebaselines, ESLint stale-suppression pruning (4,273 → 4,233), and clearing test-masking/docs-all pre-flight reds for v3.8.45.
+
+### ⚡ Performance & Infrastructure
+
+- **perf(release-green):** the pre-flight validator (`scripts/quality/validate-release-green.mjs`) now runs its 4 slow suites (unit / vitest / integration / pack-artifact) **concurrently** via `Promise.all` — pre-flight wall time drops from ~the sum of the suites to ~the slowest one (~30min saved per round; Phase 0 was the nº1 bottleneck of the v3.8.45 release benchmark, 2h54 of 6h34 e2e). Guard: `tests/unit/validate-release-green.test.ts` ("runs the slow suites CONCURRENTLY"). ([#6319](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6319))
+- **fix(ci):** `scripts/release/sync-next-cycle.mjs` — two defects found live in its first production run (v3.8.45 Phase 5): (1) the `git()` helper's default 1 MiB `maxBuffer` crashed with `ENOBUFS` on `git show origin/main:CHANGELOG.md` (the CHANGELOG alone is >1 MiB) — widened to 64 MiB; (2) the i18n resync only propagated the `[NEXT]` (TBD) section, leaving the just-shipped finalized section as "— TBD" in all 42 mirrors — it now also syncs `[prevVersion]` bounded by the heading below it (new exported pure helper `versionAfter`). Guards: +5 tests in `tests/unit/sync-next-cycle.test.ts` (8/8). ([#6327](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6327))
+- **test(ci):** concurrency-sensitive flaky tests are **quarantined into a serial pass** (`tests/unit/serial/`, `--test-concurrency=1`, appended to every unit runner incl. sharded variants — the serial pass is sharded too so concurrent shard jobs never self-collide). Initial set: `glm-coding-plan-monthly-3580`, `quota-division-blocks`, `provider-health-autopilot`, `combo-health-autopilot` — the class behind the ~28min CI wedges/re-runs (two live 1h+ wedges cancelled during this PR's own validation). Discovery + TIA gates track the new glob; systemic root cause (async logger writing after teardown) tracked in [#6360](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6360). Guard: `tests/unit/test-serial-quarantine.test.ts` (4). ([#6347](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6347))

+## [3.8.45] — 2026-07-06
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(providers):** add **Yuanbao (web)** as a cookie-session provider ([#6196](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6196)) — `yuanbao-web` (Tencent Yuanbao, `yuanbao.tencent.com`) with cookie-only auth (`hy_user`/`hy_token` + public agent id), SSE→OpenAI translation incl. `reasoning_content`, exposing DeepSeek V3/R1 + Hunyuan / Hunyuan-T1. Regression guard: `tests/unit/providers-yuanbao-web.test.ts`. `together-web` was **deferred** (no verifiable web-session endpoint — needs a captured request) and `huggingchat-web` **dropped** (the existing `huggingchat` already is a web-cookie provider). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** route the built-in **agentrouter** through the dynamic Claude-Code wire image ([#6056](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6056)) — a small static allow-set (`CC_WIRE_IMAGE_BUILTINS` in `open-sse/services/ccWireImageBuiltins.ts`), consulted by `isClaudeCodeCompatible` / `isClaudeCodeCompatibleProvider` / `applyFingerprint`, makes agentrouter adopt the CC wire-image headers + fingerprint **while guarding the CC baseUrl/auth branches** so it keeps its own registry `baseUrl` and `x-api-key` auth. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentrouter-cc-wire-image.test.ts` (asserts the wire image is applied AND agentrouter's baseUrl/auth are preserved). Live WAF-acceptance against agentrouter.org is a VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18).
+- **feat(providers):** **bulk-add API keys for Cloudflare Workers AI** ([#6174](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6174)) — `cloudflare-ai` is removed from the bulk-add exclusion list and the bulk parser gains a 3-field `name|accountId|apiKey` mode; the bulk route now builds a **per-entry** `providerSpecificData` so each key carries its own `accountId` (fixing the previous shared-object reuse), and both the create + key-validation paths receive it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/bulk-api-key-parser-cloudflare.test.ts`. (thanks @muflifadla38)
+- **feat(dashboard):** routing/settings UX clarity ([#6147](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6147)) — (1) weighted combos show the **effective routing share %** next to each weight when weights don't sum to 100 (`WeightTotalBar.tsx`); (2) the status widget's user-facing **"Cloud Sync" label is renamed** to "Remote Settings Sync" (`CloudSyncStatus.tsx`; internal ids/state untouched); (3) built-in providers gain an **opt-in advanced base-URL override** (`isBaseUrlOverrideEligibleProvider`, hidden behind an "Advanced" toggle, reusing the existing `providerSpecificData.baseUrl` persistence — not globally widened). Regression guard: `tests/unit/routing-settings-ux-6147.test.ts`.
+- **feat(combo):** add an option to **disable session stickiness**, per-combo or globally — round-robin / random combos can rotate to a different connection on every request instead of pinning a whole conversation to one connection by its first-message hash. Resolution precedence per-combo `config.disableSessionStickiness` → global `settings.disableSessionStickiness` → default `false` (preserves the #3825 prompt-cache/504 fix); gates **both** stickiness call sites in `open-sse/services/combo.ts`. Exposed as a global toggle (Combo Defaults) and a per-combo Inherit/on/off control. ([#6168](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6168)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-disable-session-stickiness.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+- **feat(docker):** add the `OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO` env flag for root-less / user-namespaced deployments — the MITM cert-trust command path (`resolveSudoSpawn` in `src/mitm/systemCommands.ts`) now strips the leading `sudo` when the flag is truthy, in addition to the existing root / sudo-missing cases, so the Proxy Agent runs without `sudo` (the operator trusts the CA manually, e.g. via `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`). Argv-array `spawn` preserved — no shell interpolation (Hard Rule #13). ([#6122](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6122)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-systemCommands-no-sudo.test.ts`. (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Requesty** as an OpenAI-compatible gateway provider (BYOK, base `https://router.requesty.ai/v1`, ~200 free requests/day) — wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/requesty/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/gateways.ts`). ([#6120](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6120)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/requesty-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add **configured-only / available-only filters** to the Free Provider Rankings page ([#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150)) — hide providers you haven't configured, or whose connections are all rate-limited / out of quota, via server-side query params (`?configuredOnly` / `?availableOnly` on `GET /api/free-provider-rankings`) backed by a testable lib helper reusing the in-process connection state (no Redis). Both filters default off, so the default view is unchanged; this supersedes the earlier client-side "Configured Only" toggle (#6245) with an available-only dimension and unit-tested logic. Regression guard: `tests/unit/freeProviderRankings-filters.test.ts`.
+- **feat(rankings):** add a **'Configured Only'** filter to the Free Provider Rankings page, so the table can be narrowed to just the providers you have configured connections for (with an empty-state hint when none are configured). New `en.json` keys and a pure filter helper covered by `tests/unit/free-provider-rankings-configured-filter.test.ts`. ([#6245](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6245), closes [#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150) — thanks @Iammilansoni)
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the test suite and CI can never mutate the OS trust store again — `OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1` (set by the global test setup and all CI workflows) makes `installCert`/`uninstallCert`/`installTproxyCa` skip the privileged OS dispatch while preserving the #4546 environment-skip contract. Root cause of the self-hosted runner incident: a cert-flow integration test installed a 105-byte fake PEM into `/usr/local/share/ca-certificates`, breaking ALL system TLS on the VM. Regression guard: `tests/unit/system-trust-test-guard.test.ts`. ([#6310](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6310))
+- **fix(security):** `/api/keys/{id}/devices` answers a clean method-first **405** for undocumented HTTP methods (e.g. the new `QUERY`) via a dedicated `http-method-guard` rule — the auth layer was answering 401 first, failing schemathesis's unsupported-methods check. Same pattern as the v3.8.44 TRACE fix. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dast-method-not-allowed.test.ts`.
+- **fix(combo):** the #6216 empty-stream failover is restricted to **truly empty bodies** (zero bytes — the Gemini HTTP-200-empty case), restoring the #3399/#3685 pass-through contracts for `[DONE]`-terminated empty streams and incomplete Claude lifecycles. New guard: `#5976 truly EMPTY streaming body → invalid for combo failover` (87/87 across both suites).
+- **fix(combo):** 5 streaming-path fixes — locked-stream 500, error-frame-only-if-no-content, Gemini `MALFORMED_RESPONSE`→content_filter failover, correlationId substring search, per-model-500 lockout skip + request-logger UI detail. Maintainer follow-up: `releaseQualityClone` cancels the abandoned quality-check tee branch (per-request memory) + regression test. ([#6216](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6216) — thanks @hartmark)
+- **fix(skills):** generate the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry (the #6186 catalog addition never ran the generator — 8 integration assertions split between old/new counts) and align the agent-skills catalog counts across integration + unit suites (43 = 23 API + 20 CLI; 44 with config).
+- **fix(a2a):** finish the #6186 catalog-count update — `listCapabilities` metadata reported `coverage.api.total: 22` (type literal + value) and `SkillCoverageSchema` pinned `z.literal(22)`, so the schema would REJECT the correct runtime value with 23 API skills. All three aligned to 23.
+- **fix(github-skills):** add a missing import, unit tests and a settings JSON-parse fix for the GitHub agent-skill discovery/import flow. ([#6186](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6186) — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/github-skills` validates its body with a Zod schema (`validateBody`) instead of blind `request.json()` destructuring — a non-array `targets` would crash `.map`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/github-skills-route-validation.test.ts`.
+- **fix(docker):** add `id=` to the BuildKit cache mounts so strict builders (e.g. buildkitd with strict frontend parsing) accept the Dockerfile. ([#6291](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6291) — thanks @karimalsalah)
+- **fix(oauth):** register `zed` in the OAuth `PROVIDERS` map (fixes "Unknown provider" on the Zed sign-in flow) ([#6078](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6078) — thanks @anki1kr), and align `zed` in `OAUTH_PROVIDER_IDS` + the config enum after the merge.
+- **fix(doubao-web):** switch the Doubao web provider to the Dola global endpoint. ([#6235](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6235) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(doctor):** resolve two false-positive WARNs in the doctor diagnostics ([#6163](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6163), closes [#6162](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6162) — thanks @arssnndr)
+- **fix(providers):** refresh the GitHub Copilot model catalog to the current upstream set. ([#6154](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6154) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(providers):** correct the Kiro model catalog to real upstream ids — fabricated `claude-opus-4.7`/`claude-sonnet-4.6` entries removed, real `claude-sonnet-5`/`claude-sonnet-4.5`/`claude-haiku-4.5` kept. ([#6170](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6170))
+- **feat(sse):** surface Kiro adaptive-thinking reasoning frames as `reasoning_content` in the OpenAI-shaped stream. ([#6213](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6213) — thanks @VXNCXNX)
+- **fix(cli):** use `OMNIROUTE_SERVER_HOST` instead of the POSIX auto-set `HOSTNAME` for the bind address (fixes wrong bind on POSIX shells that export HOSTNAME). ([#6195](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6195), closes [#6194](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6194) — thanks @Theadd)
+- **feat(provider):** add Claude 5 Sonnet to the Claude Web provider catalog. ([#6209](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6209), closes [#6200](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6200) — thanks @Iammilansoni)
+- **fix(providers):** add `nvidia` to `PROVIDER_TOOL_LIMITS` (1536) to prevent silent tool-list truncation. ([#6177](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6177) — thanks @LuisAlejandroVega)
+- **fix(translator):** strip the `reasoning` param for nvidia `z-ai/glm-5.2` (upstream 400s on it). ([#6181](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6181) — thanks @kanztu)
+- **fix(dashboard):** providers page gains a data-timeout guard and the live-WS standalone wiring (no more indefinite spinner when the data fetch stalls). ([#6211](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6211))
+- **fix(sse):** surface the ChatGPT-web image silent-drop as an accurate error instead of an empty success. ([#6208](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6208))
+- **fix(cline):** force upstream streaming for Cline/ClinePass (streaming-only API) — non-stream client requests are served from the buffered SSE. ([#6165](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6165))
+- **fix(dashboard):** remove the always-on Auto-Routing (combo) banner from the home page — it did not reflect live routing state and reappeared on every fresh browser. Replacement guard: `tests/unit/home-no-autorouting-banner.test.ts`. ([#6164](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6164))
+- **fix(dashboard):** stop a model-test error from freezing the page (React #31 object-as-child toast) — errors go through `extractApiErrorMessage`. ([#6161](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6161))
+- **fix(oauth):** extract the keychain-import-only guard to its own module, restoring the oauth file-size freeze. ([#6158](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6158))
+
+- **fix(sse):** strip zero-width markers from streamed **tool-call arguments** — a follow-up to [#5857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5857). That PR removed injected zero-width joiners (U+200D) from streamed assistant text/reasoning but deliberately left tool-call argument JSON byte-exact. The request-side obfuscation (`open-sse/services/claudeCodeObfuscation.ts`) injects ZWJ into agent words — including the temp path inside the Bash tool description — and Claude models copy that verbatim into generated commands, which are delivered as tool-call arguments rather than assistant text. As a result the ZWJ survived and corrupted code blocks (e.g. a temp path rendered with an invisible joiner). Now `open-sse/handlers/responseSanitizer.ts` strips zero-width code points from tool-call argument strings at every emit site (OpenAI non-stream/stream chat `tool_calls` + legacy `function_call`, native Responses `function_call` items, the OpenAI→Responses conversion, and the native Responses streaming `response.function_call_arguments.delta/.done` events). Only zero-width code points are removed; JSON structure and all other bytes stay identical (no parse/restringify), so normal arguments remain byte-exact. Regression guard: 6 new cases in `tests/unit/response-sanitizer.test.ts` (suite 50/50).
+
+- **fix(nodejs):** the default app log path now resolves under `DATA_DIR` (`~/.omniroute/logs/application/app.log`) instead of `process.cwd()` ([#6197](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6197)) — the globally-installed CLI runs from an arbitrary working directory, so anchoring the default to cwd made file logging silently write to (or no-op under) an unrelated directory, contradicting the documented `.env.example` default. `getAppLogFilePath()` now computes the default lazily via the pure `resolveDataDir()` resolver (honours a per-process `DATA_DIR`, no directory-creation side effect); an explicit `APP_LOG_FILE_PATH` still wins. Regression guard: `tests/unit/logenv-datadir-path-6197.test.ts` (3). (root cause independently diagnosed by @subhansh-dev in [#6298](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6298) — thanks!)
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge/`startMitm` no longer aborts in containers/headless when the Antigravity-default DNS step can't write `/etc/hosts` ([#6127](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6127)), and the privileged command's stderr now reaches `app.log` instead of only a bare exit code hitting the toast ([#6198](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6198)). The default DNS step (`addDNSEntry`) was called unguarded while cert install and the two sibling DNS steps were each best-effort — in the runtime Docker image (`USER node`, no `sudo`, read-only `/etc/hosts`) it threw `Command failed with code 1` out of `startMitmInternal` and killed the whole start, discarding the stderr. The three DNS steps are extracted into a best-effort `provisionDnsEntries()` where each failure is logged with the full `err` (stderr included, folded in by `systemCommands.ts`) and never aborts the start. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-dns-graceful-degrade-6127.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** copilot-m365-web now supports the M365 Education "Starter / OfficeWebIncludedCopilot" tier and no longer returns an empty `content:null` stream ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)). Two gaps: (1) `buildWsUrl()` hardcoded the individual-consumer scenario (`OfficeWebPaidConsumerCopilot`, `isEdu=false`) — the EDU tier is now opt-in via `providerSpecificData.tier="edu"`, emitting `scenario=OfficeWebIncludedCopilot`/`isEdu=true` (the individual path is unchanged); (2) the EDU/GPT-5.5 path streams deltas via `arguments[0].writeAtCursor` (incremental) instead of only `messages[].text` (accumulated snapshots), which the parser dropped — a new `accumulateBotContent()` folds both formats, with `type:2 item.result.message` as a last-resort fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-edu-writeatcursor-6210.test.ts` (10). (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo executor now feeds tool results back into the prompt instead of looping ([#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)) — `buildPrompt()` branched only on `system`/`user` and took `userParts.at(-1)`, silently dropping the `assistant{tool_calls}` + `tool{result}` turns the client appended, so the reconstructed prompt was byte-identical to turn 1 and the model re-emitted the same `<tool>` call forever. When a tool exchange is present the full conversation is now serialized, folding each tool result back keyed by its `tool_call_id`; simple conversations keep the legacy shape. Complements the tool_call emission from [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051) (the `kilo-duplicate` label was a false positive — different, sequential defect). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-result-feedback-6220.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** opencode-go/opencode-zen can now synthesize the OpenCode CLI identity headers Cloudflare requires on VPS egress ([#5997](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5997)) — on a datacenter VPS, `opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/chat/completions` 403s (HTML challenge) requests lacking CLI identity, while the reporter's control curl proved that `User-Agent: opencode-cli/1.0.0` + `x-opencode-client: cli` + `x-opencode-project: default` + fresh request/session UUIDs succeed. Opt-in via `OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS=true` (values overridable via `OPENCODE_GO_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_CLIENT`/`OPENCODE_PROJECT`); it fills only headers the client did not already send. Kept **off by default** — the forward-only path is deliberate (fabricating a wrong value risks upstream rejection; a prior dedup regressed with `opencode/local`), so this replaces the fragile local header-injection shim without changing default behavior. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-cli-headers-synthesis-5997.test.ts` (6). (thanks @aleksesipenko)
+- fix(resilience): sticky session affinity now evicts and fails over to another account when the pinned account is exhausted/unavailable (#6219)
+
+- fix(sse): Responses API passthrough now drops internal commentary-phase output before forwarding to clients (gated by RESPONSES_PASSTHROUGH_DROP_COMMENTARY, default on) (#6199)
+
+- **fix(proxy):** stop the v3.8.44 proxy regression that leaked the real IP and disabled healthy proxies ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Two coupled defects from the new health scheduler: (1) **IP leak** — when a proxy assigned to a connection was marked `inactive`, resolution fell through to a **direct** egress instead of blocking, exposing the operator's real IP; (2) **over-deactivation** — the sweep flipped a proxy to `inactive` on the **first** failed probe and counted our own 5s timeout / a probe-target `5xx` as the proxy's fault, so healthy paid proxies vanished from egress selection ("my proxies are not being used anymore"). Fix: the sweep decision is extracted into a pure, network-free `decideProxyHealthAction` (`src/lib/proxyHealth/decision.ts`) — by default the health check now **only counts/logs and never downgrades status** (a proxy is downgraded/removed only with `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE=true`, after `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE_AFTER` **consecutive** conclusive failures); probes are classified tri-state so an inconclusive result (our timeout, or a `5xx` from the probe target) never penalizes the proxy, and the probe timeout is raised 5s→15s. Separately, `safeResolveProxy` now **fails closed** via the existing policy: a connection whose assigned proxy is dead is blocked instead of leaking direct (`hasBlockingProxyAssignment`), honoring the explicit `proxy off` toggles and the `PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true` opt-out. Existing proxies stuck `inactive` by the old behavior need a one-time manual re-activate (the operator owns proxy status). Regression guards: `tests/unit/proxy-health-decide-action-6246.test.ts`, `tests/unit/proxy-assigned-unavailable-6246.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(proxy):** make "Test All" read-only and add bulk enable/disable ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Complements the core fail-closed / scheduler fix (#6296) with the two remaining reporter asks. (1) The **"Test All" button** (`POST /api/settings/proxies/auto-test`) used to flip a proxy to `inactive` on a failed reachability probe; since the egress selector excludes `inactive` proxies, a flaky probe (an unreachable `httpbin.org`, a proxy that blocks `HEAD`, or a slow paid proxy) silently disabled every proxy that failed — "Test All" is now **read-only by default** (only the operator sets a proxy active/inactive; opt back into the legacy test-and-set with `PROXY_HEALTH_AUTO_DEACTIVATE=true`). (2) Adds a **bulk enable/disable** proxies endpoint + toolbar action (`POST /api/settings/proxies/batch-activate`) so an operator can re-activate proxies in one click. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-health-6246.test.ts`. (thanks @tenshiak)
+
+- **chatcore (tools): stop the default 128-tool cap from silently dropping opencode's `task`/MCP tools.** opencode (used as an MCP/agent host) sends a large tool list; when it exceeds the speculative `MAX_TOOLS_LIMIT` (128) default, `truncateToolList` did a blind `tools.slice(0, 128)`, dropping every tool past index 128 — including opencode's built-in `task` tool (subagent launch) and many MCP tools, so models routed through OmniRoute could no longer spawn subagents or reach part of their tools. The cap exists to avoid upstream `400`s for providers with real hard limits (e.g. grok-cli 200), so it is kept for those: detection of the opencode client (`isOpencodeClient` — any `x-opencode-*` header, or `opencode` in the user-agent) now only bypasses the **speculative 128 default**, never a known provider ceiling. Precedence is explicit — a proactive/detected provider limit always truncates (even for opencode); otherwise opencode forwards its full tool list; otherwise the unchanged 128 default applies to every other client. Refactors `getEffectiveToolLimit` into `getKnownToolLimit(provider) ?? DEFAULT_LIMIT` (byte-identical for existing callers) and fixes a cosmetic debug-log that reported the truncated count instead of the original. Regression guard: `tests/unit/tool-limit-detector.test.ts`. ([#6193](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6193) — thanks @DKotsyuba)
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the macOS MITM-cert install check now matches the system keychain again. `security find-certificate -a -Z` prints the SHA-1 as a colon-less hex string, but the installed-check compared it against `getCertFingerprint()`'s colon-separated form, so the substring match never hit — the cert was reported as not-installed and re-prompted for the sudo install on every run. Fingerprints are now normalized (colons stripped, upper-cased) on both sides via the extracted `macCertOutputHasFingerprint` helper. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-cert-mac-fingerprint.test.ts`. ([#6204](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6204), closes [#6134](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6134) — thanks @rianonehub)
+
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/messages/count_tokens` now counts `tool_use`, `tool_result` and `thinking` content blocks (and array-form `system` prompts) in the local-estimation path, instead of only `text`. Real agentic conversations keep ~95% of their tokens inside tool results; the previous estimate returned near-zero for them, which silently broke Claude Code's auto-compaction (context grew past the window with no compaction until the upstream API rejected the request). The real provider-side count path is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/messages-count-tokens-route.test.ts`. ([#6221](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6221) — thanks @luweiCN)
+
+- **fix(antigravity):** strip a trailing assistant prefill turn for Vertex Claude models to avoid upstream 400s ([#6114](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6114)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-claude-prefill-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(security):** the mutable cloud-agent routes (`/api/cloud/credentials/update`, `/api/cloud/models/alias`) now require management auth instead of being treated as public. They were classified as public API routes, so a request without management credentials could update stored cloud-agent credentials and model aliases. They are removed from the public-route set, classified as management routes in the authz pipeline, and gated by `requireManagementAuth`; cloud **read**/auth routes stay public. Regression guards: `tests/unit/cloud-write-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts`, `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6233](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6233) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+
+- **refactor(dashboard):** extract the onboarding-wizard "Open provider details" link target into a pure, unit-tested `buildProviderDetailsHref(connection)` helper. The wizard already routes by `connection.id` (the node UUID) rather than the provider category slug (#6144/#6145); this hardens that behavior behind a tested helper that guards a missing id/connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-onboarding-href.test.ts`. ([#6166](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6166) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(api):** relay worker now binds the SSRF guard to a stable `const` name so minified standalone (Docker) builds resolve it ([#6149](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6149)) — the Vercel/Deno relay generators embedded the shared `resolveRelayTarget` guard as a bare `${fn.toString()}` declaration while the worker body called the hardcoded literal name; SWC minification mangled the source function's name, so the deployed worker defined `<mangled>` but still called `resolveRelayTarget` → `ReferenceError`. Both templates now emit `const resolveRelayTarget = ${fn.toString()};` (the const name is a template literal, immune to minification). Regression guard: `tests/unit/relay-minified-fn-6149.test.ts` (4). (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **fix(providers):** refresh the stale NVIDIA NIM model registry — drop EOL `z-ai/glm-5.1`, add `z-ai/glm-5.2` and `nvidia/nemotron-3-ultra-550b-a55b` ([#6108](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6108)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-nim-registry-6108.test.ts`. (thanks @andrea-kingautomation)
+- **fix(backend):** GPT-family (codex) models now report a distinct `max_input_tokens` (272000) below their 400K `context_length` via an optional `maxInputTokens` on `RegistryModel`, so coding agents auto-compact correctly instead of overflowing the real input cap ([#6191](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6191)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gpt-max-input-tokens-6191.test.ts`. (thanks @luweiCN)
+- **fix(backend):** call logs now record a **reasoning source/char-count** (migration 116, `reasoning_source`/`reasoning_chars`) for models that emit `reasoning_content`/`<think>` but report zero reasoning tokens in usage, so `tokens_reasoning` no longer silently under-represents reasoning — cost math is unchanged (the priced `tokens_reasoning` stays usage-derived) ([#6187](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6187)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/reasoning-token-source-6187.test.ts`. (thanks @andrea-kingautomation)
+- **fix(auth):** a stale/changed `STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY` now surfaces as a clear **424 `storage_encryption_stale`** ("re-enter the API key") instead of a misleading "Auth failed: 401" — the connection's ciphertext failed to decrypt and was coerced to an empty Bearer, hiding the real cause ([#6148](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6148)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/decrypt-stale-key-hint-6148.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(backend):** memory injection now keeps the injected system message **first** for providers that require it (via a `PROVIDERS_SYSTEM_MUST_BE_FIRST` capability), instead of the cache-safe mid-array splice that made strict providers reject the request with a 400 ([#6135](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6135)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/memory-system-first-6135.test.ts`.
+- **fix(services):** 9Router embed panel no longer 404s (optional catch-all route) and the supervisor probes the port before spawning to avoid raw EADDRINUSE ([#6205](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6205)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/ninerouter-embed-port-6205.test.ts`, `tests/unit/services/ServiceSupervisor.test.ts`. (thanks @jonlwheat2-gif)
+- fix(mcp): forward the MCP request `extra` context through static tool loops so stdio callers keep their scope/identity ([#6178](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6178))
+
+### ⚡ Performance & Infrastructure
+
+- **perf(test):** test-suite loader quick wins ([#6214](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6214)) — the 19 test scripts switch `--import tsx` → `--import tsx/esm` (the repo is pure ESM; the unused CJS hook cost ~1.3s per test process × 2,462 processes — CI fast-path unit shards dropped 14.8→7.5 min, −49%), tsx bumped to ^4.23.0 (tsx#809 startup-regression fix), **37 orphan `.test.mjs` files (224 cases) recovered** into the canonical glob (they matched no runner and never ran in any CI job; `check:test-discovery` now scans `.mjs` too), and ci.yml/quality.yml unit jobs now call the canonical npm script `test:unit:ci:shard` (single source of truth — closes two silent drifts: missing `setupPolyfill` import in CI and `memory/`+`usage/` dirs absent from the fast-path glob). `tests/unit/dashboard/**` keeps the full tsx hook in its own invocation (`@lobehub/icons` es/ build internally `require()`s ESM-syntax files).
+- **ci:** heavy-pipeline dedup ([#6215](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6215)) — the release-PR pipeline ran the unit suite 4× per sync (95 jobs, 208 machine-min; the v3.8.44 cycle fired 123 such runs, 88 cancelled). Now: Node 24/26 compat matrices move to a daily `nightly-compat.yml` (−28%/run; resolves the active release branch, opens a tracking issue on failure), coverage is collected inside the unit shards themselves via c8/`NODE_V8_COVERAGE` (−18%/run; the Coverage Shard ×8 matrix is gone — nodejs/node's own CI pattern), the ~40-job per-language i18n matrix becomes 1 job (the account has 20 concurrent-job slots total), and heavy jobs skip **draft** PRs — paired with `/generate-release` now opening the living release PR as draft (flipped ready at the new Phase 0a.0a), killing the per-merge churn for the whole cycle. Validated by a full `workflow_dispatch` of the new pipeline: 35 jobs, 0 failures, 23 min, merged coverage 80.16% (> ratchet baseline).
+- **feat(quality):** no-new-warnings per PR ([#6218](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6218)) — native ESLint bulk suppressions (≥9.24) freeze the pre-existing debt (476 files / 4,273 violations in `config/quality/eslint-suppressions.json`); `npm run lint`, lint-staged (pre-commit) and a new fork-aware `lint-guard` job in quality.yml all run suppressions-aware, so a NEW warning goes red in the PR that introduces it instead of accruing invisibly (+41/+88 per cycle) and being blind-rebaselined at release. 3 warn rules promoted to error in `src/**` (`react-hooks/exhaustive-deps`, `@next/next/no-img-element`, `import/no-anonymous-default-export`); `collect-metrics` measures under the frozen baseline (ratchet metric = net-NEW debt; baseline tightened 4,279→0 in-PR per require-tighten); fork PRs run report-only (contributors are never blocked — the maintainer campaigns fix via co-authorship). Baseline stock shrinks via `--prune-suppressions` at release reconciliation.
+- **ci:** test jobs no longer wait on the Build gate ([#6275](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6275)) — `test-unit`×8, `vitest`, `integration`×2 and `security` declared `needs: build` but never download the `next-build` artifact; they now start at minute 0 (`needs: changes`, same `if` as Build), cutting ~15–20 min of wall-clock per heavy run. `e2e`/`package-artifact`/`electron-smoke` keep `needs: build` (they consume the artifact for real).
+- **ci(build):** the ci.yml Build job compiles Next.js with **Turbopack** (`OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=1`) ([#6273](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6273)) — Build job 20 min → **6 min 59 s (~2.9×)** on ubuntu-latest; the webpack `actions/cache` step is removed. Validated end-to-end pre-merge via `gh workflow run ci.yml --ref <branch>`.
+- **feat(build):** **Turbopack becomes the default bundler** for `next build` and `next dev` ([#6283](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6283)) — `build-next-isolated.mjs`, `run-next.mjs` and the playwright-runner default to Turbopack; `OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=0` is the explicit webpack escape hatch. `nightly-compat.yml`/`npm-publish.yml` inherit the default. Regression guard: `tests/unit/build-bundler-default-turbopack.test.ts`.
+- **feat(docker):** the Docker image builds with Turbopack (`ENV OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=1`) ([#6285](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6285)) — the v3.8.27 ImportTracer panic ("unreachable: there must be a path to a root") does **not** reproduce on Next 16.2.9: amd64 (659 s) and arm64 (qemu) build clean, 0 panics, smoke health 200.
+- **ci:** opt-in **self-hosted VPS runners for the release window** ([#6284](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6284)) — `scripts/vps/release-runner-up.sh`/`down.sh` manage the runner VM, and `build`/`test-unit`/`vitest` pick a dynamic `runs-on` gated by `vars.USE_VPS_RUNNER == 'true'` **and** own-origin (fork PRs never reach self-hosted runners). Wired into `/generate-release` (VM up at Phase 1, mandatory down at Phase 3).
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **quality(release-green):** full pre-flight hardening for this release — the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors typed/fixed and `validate-release-green` made suppressions-aware with per-gate logs (`_artifacts/release-green/`) and a `--hermetic` mode; test-masking allowlist entries for the cycle's verified-legitimate assert reductions; stale ESLint suppressions pruned (4,273 → 4,233); the 7 net-new `as any` casts from #6292 typed; `githubSkillTools` MCP errors routed through `sanitizeErrorMessage()`; `combo-provider-cooldown-sibling` added to the Stryker tap set; executors/env docs count fixes.
+- **ci(quality):** merge-integrity fast-gates per PR — `check:changelog-integrity` (no base CHANGELOG bullet may vanish in the merge result — the auto-resolve "CHANGELOG-eat" pattern) and `check:agent-skills-sync` (generated SKILL.md ≡ catalog), blocking for own-origin branches and report-only for forks (Princípio Zero). ([#6300](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6300))
+- **ci(vps):** hermetic `nightly-release-green` pre-flight on the dedicated `omni-release` self-hosted runner (dynamic `runs-on`, clean env); e2e/integration/electron stay on hosted runners (per-VM port collision + concurrent artifact-download limits documented in the PR). ([#6305](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6305))
+- **chore(quality):** v3.8.45 cycle-close drift rebaselines — file-size (13 files grown by merged cycle PRs), cognitive 867→877, cyclomatic 2028→2035, kiro-translator test debt from #6213; all with dated justification keys.
+- **docs(architecture):** sync stale DB-layer counts (45+/55 → 95+/110+) in REPOSITORY_MAP, the db-schema diagram and llm.txt (+42 i18n mirrors). ([#6167](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6167))
+- **chore(release):** parallel-cycle flow — `sync-next-cycle.mjs` + Hard Rule #21 semantics ([#6203](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6203)); v3.8.45 development cycle opened.
+- **i18n(it):** add 118 missing Italian (`it`) translations (net-additive — no existing keys dropped, valid JSON), improving Italian UI coverage. ([#6212](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6212) — thanks @serverless83)
+- **chore(providers):** remove deprecated **MiMo V2** model entries from the catalogs (xiaomi-mimo, opencode-go, zenmux-free, audio TTS) — the upstream V2 line is superseded by MiMo V2.5; drops `mimo-v2-tts`, `mimo-v2-pro`, `mimo-v2-omni`, `mimo-v2-flash`, `mimo-v2-flash-free` and realigns the provider-catalog tests. ([#6248](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6248) — thanks @backryun)

+## [3.8.44] — TBD
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(resilience):** throttle upstream quota fetches on the per-request preflight path ([#6009](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6009)) — a new global min-interval gate (`open-sse/services/quotaFetchThrottle.ts`) spaces the actual network calls made by the Codex quota fetcher so that many accounts on one IP no longer fetch quota in the same second (which, per `router-for-me/CLIProxyAPI#2385`, can get a Codex OAuth token revoked). Complements the existing bulk-sync spacing (`PROVIDER_LIMITS_SYNC_SPACING_MS`) which already serialized the periodic provider-limits sync — this covers the concurrent combo/preflight path it didn't. Cache hits are never delayed; fail-open (only ever awaits a timer). Configurable via `OMNIROUTE_QUOTA_FETCH_MIN_INTERVAL_MS` (default 250ms, clamped 0..5000; `0` disables). Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-fetch-throttle-6009.test.ts` (5). (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(autoCombo):** add **per-request Auto-Combo controls** via two headers ([#6024](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6024) / [#6025](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6025) / [#6023](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6023)) — `X-OmniRoute-Mode` steers an `auto` combo's scoring for a single request (friendly presets `fast`/`balanced`/`quality`/`cheap`/`reliable`/`offline` **or** a raw mode-pack name; `balanced` forces the default weights), and `X-OmniRoute-Budget` sets a hard per-request USD cost ceiling. Both override the combo's stored config only for the request that carries them; unknown/garbage values are ignored so the saved config is preserved. The resolvers are pure (`open-sse/services/autoCombo/requestControls.ts`) and feed the engine's existing `config.modePack` / `config.budgetCap` inputs — no engine changes. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auto-combo-request-controls-6024.test.ts` (5). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add the **Kenari** OpenAI-compatible gateway (BYOK). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kenari.test.ts`. (thanks @doedja)
+- **feat(models):** add `claude-sonnet-5` to the Antigravity model catalog (alias mapping in `antigravityModelAliases.ts`) ([#6103](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6103)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-model-aliases.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+- **feat(api):** add `/v1/ocr` endpoint (Mistral OCR), an OCR provider category, and Mistral moderation support. ([#5950](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5950)) (thanks @waguriagentic)
+- **Discovery tool (Phase 2):** add the `discoveryResults` DB module (CRUD over the `discovery_results` table, migration 074) and wire the opt-in provider-discovery service to persist and read findings through it (`persistDiscoveryResult`, `getDiscoveryResults`, `getDiscoveryResultById`, `markVerified`, `deleteDiscoveryResult`) with `(provider, method, endpoint)` upsert de-duplication. Adds the `/api/discovery/*` HTTP surface — `GET /results`, `GET|DELETE /results/:id`, `POST /scan`, `POST /verify/:id` — under **strict loopback-only** authorization (`/api/discovery/` is in `LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` and is NOT manage-scope-bypassable, so the `scan` route's outbound probes can never be reached from a tunnel/remote origin). Adds a **dashboard UI tab** (Tools → Discovery, `/dashboard/discovery`) to run scans and review, verify, or delete findings. The service stays **opt-in / default-off**. ([#5939](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5939))
+- **feat(api):** expose a read-only provider plugin manifest at `GET /api/v1/provider-plugin-manifest` for sidecar/relay discovery. ([#6001](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6001)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(sidecar):** advertise the provider manifest URL to Bifrost/CLIProxyAPI via the `X-OmniRoute-Provider-Manifest-Url` header (`OMNIROUTE_PROVIDER_MANIFEST_URL`). ([#6007](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6007)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(autoCombo):** add a latency/speed-optimized routing mode (shared `rankBySpeed` scoring core) plus the `omniroute_pick_fastest_model` MCP tool. ([#6011](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6011)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(providers):** refresh The Old LLM (Free) model catalog ([#5181](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5181)) — seed the current free `/api/chatgpt` tier (GPT-5/5.1/5.2/5.3/5.4, o3/o4-mini, Gemini 3 Pro / 2.5 Pro / 2.0 Flash / 1.5 Flash, Claude 4.6 Opus/Sonnet & 4.5 Haiku, GPT-4o, Grok 4, DeepSeek V3/R1, Sonar Pro) while keeping the legacy alias IDs for saved-preference compatibility. Also fixes a latent routing bug: `mapModel()` now passes known upstream IDs through unchanged, so Gemini/o-series/Grok/DeepSeek/Sonar models no longer silently collapse onto `GPT_5_4`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/theoldllm-model-refresh-5181.test.ts`. (thanks @WslzGmzs)
+- **feat(resilience):** surface Codex **banked reset credits** per connected account ([#5199](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5199)) — the Codex quota parsers (`buildCodexUsageQuotas`, `parseCodexUsageResponse`) now additively read `rate_limit_reset_credits.available_count` (+ optional `rate_limit_reached_type`) from the `/wham/usage` payload OmniRoute already fetches, and the provider-limits dashboard renders a **"Banked Reset Credits"** row when a positive count is present. Display-only and **fail-open** — the field is eligibility-gated, so accounts without it are unaffected (parsers never throw on absent/garbage shapes); redemption (an unofficial mutating endpoint) is intentionally out of scope. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-banked-reset-credits-5199.test.ts` (8). (thanks @ofekbetzalel)
+- **feat(providers):** add sign-up geo-restriction notices for **SenseNova** and **StepFun** ([#5462](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5462)) — the provider add-form now warns that SenseNova's console appears to require a Chinese (+86) phone number with no documented international path, and that StepFun's default endpoint is its China platform while a global StepFun Open Platform (`platform.stepfun.ai`, operated by Sparkling AI Pte. Ltd., Singapore) with email/Google/Discord login exists for international users. Informational `notice` only — neither provider is disabled. Regression guard: `tests/unit/regional-provider-cn-notices-5462.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(usage):** add on-demand period-scoped usage-data reset (Settings → System Storage) with a purge API and time-window selector. ([#5831](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5831))
+- **feat(claude-code):** add an opt-in auto-permission classifier compat mode (off/auto/always) for Claude Code, toggleable from the CLI Code settings. ([#5810](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5810))
+- **feat(providers):** add optional client-identity header profiles for compatible nodes — preset User-Agent/fingerprint headers (e.g. matching a known CLI) merged into the existing customHeaders field. ([#5812](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5812))
+- **feat(build):** add a backend-only fast build mode (`scripts/build/build-next-isolated.mjs` + `backendOnlyPages.mjs`) that skips compiling the dashboard frontend pages, cutting local/CI build time for backend-only changes. ([#6119](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6119) — thanks @artickc)
+- **feat(minimax):** extract MiniMax M3's raw `<think>...</think>` leakage into `reasoning_content` on the 8 OpenAI-format provider tiers, leaving the Claude-format `minimax`/`minimax-cn` tiers untouched (they already report reasoning correctly). ([#6073](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6073) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(services):** promote **Bifrost** (`@maximhq/bifrost` — Go AI-gateway) from an env-only relay sidecar to a first-class embedded/supervised service, matching the existing cliproxy/9router model — installer, bootstrap `SERVICES[]` entry, migration 113 DB seed, 7 lifecycle API routes under `/api/services/bifrost/` (loopback-only), a dashboard tab, and relay auto-wiring that defaults `BIFROST_BASE_URL` to the supervised port when running. Implements item #2 of #5670; the broader RouterBackend contract (items #1, #3-#5) stays out of scope. ([#5817](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5817), part of [#5670](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5670))
+- **feat(services):** add **Mux** (`coder/mux` — local agent-orchestration daemon) as a fourth-tier embedded service on the existing `ServiceSupervisor` framework — npm-based installer, `bootstrap.ts` registration, migration 113 DB seed, 7 lifecycle API routes under `/api/services/mux/` (loopback-only, defense-in-depth bind to 127.0.0.1), and a dashboard tab reusing the shared service-management components. ([#6034](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6034))
+- **feat(xai):** surface Grok/xAI usage on the quota dashboard via local `usageHistory` aggregation (`getXaiUsage`) — since xAI exposes no per-account quota API, this sums tokens routed to the connection from `usage_history` and reports them as a cumulative, uncapped quota, mirroring the existing Xiaomi MiMo self-track pattern. ([#5806](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5806))
+- **feat(minimax):** extract MiniMax M3's raw `<think>...</think>` tags into a separate `reasoning_content` field on the 8 provider tiers that register M3 with `format:"openai"` (trae, huggingchat, bazaarlink, ollama-cloud, opencode, cline, opencode-zen, codebuddy-cn) — previously the thinking text leaked directly into `content`. Reuses the existing `extractThinkingFromContent` primitive, extending its allowlist with a minimax-m3-only pattern; the two direct minimax/minimax-cn tiers are untouched since they already surface reasoning natively over Anthropic's Messages format. (Inspired by 9router#2231.) ([#6050](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6050) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(i18n):** auto-detect the browser language on first visit — a pure `detectBrowserLocale()` matcher (exact match, `zh-HK`/`zh-MO` folded to `zh-TW`, language-prefix match, else `null`) plus a client-only `LocaleAutoDetect` component mounted once in the root layout. When no locale cookie is set yet, it reads `navigator.languages`, computes a match against the supported locales, and persists it via the same cookie/localStorage writer `LanguageSelector` already used (extracted to `shared/lib/persistLocale.ts`). (Inspired by 9router#1324.) ([#5979](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5979))
+- **feat(cli-tools):** add **CodeWhale** — the actively-maintained successor to DeepSeek TUI (same author, renamed project) — as a dual dashboard entry alongside the existing "deepseek-tui" catalog entry, so existing DeepSeek TUI users keep a working card while new users are steered to CodeWhale. New `/api/cli-tools/codewhale-settings` route writes `~/.codewhale/config.toml` and keeps the legacy `~/.deepseek/config.toml` in sync. (Inspired by 9router#1761.) ([#5996](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5996))
+- **feat(server):** support reverse-proxy `basePath` deployment via a new opt-in `OMNIROUTE_BASE_PATH` env var (empty by default), using Next.js's native `basePath` support so a deployment behind a reverse-proxy subpath (e.g. `https://host/omniroute/`) works without manual header stripping; the two hardcoded auth-redirect targets in `src/server/authz/pipeline.ts` now prefix with `request.nextUrl.basePath`. Default empty basePath is a no-op for existing root-path deployments. (Inspired by 9router#1810.) ([#5992](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5992))
+- **feat(providers):** add **SumoPod** (`ai.sumopod.com`) and **X5Lab** (`api.x5lab.dev`) OpenAI-compatible BYOK aggregator gateways, wired via the default executor with bearer API-key auth; both use `passthroughModels` with a live `/v1/models` fetcher instead of a hardcoded catalog. Regression guard: `tests/unit/sumopod-x5lab-provider.test.ts`. (Inspired by 9router#1288.) ([#5963](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5963))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Charm Hyper** (`hyper.charm.land`) as a new OpenAI-compatible, bearer-auth API-key gateway provider with a free tier (100 monthly Hypercredits); models resolve via passthrough (`modelsUrl` + live `/v1/models`) since the catalog isn't publicly documented. (Inspired by 9router#2006.) ([#5961](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5961))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Nube.sh** (`ai.nube.sh`) as a new BYOK OpenAI-compatible gateway (LiteLLM proxy), Bearer/API-key auth. Its live model catalog is only reachable with a valid key, so no model IDs are hardcoded — it uses `passthroughModels` + `modelsUrl` for live enumeration. (Inspired by 9router#2294.) ([#5936](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5936) — thanks @whale9820)
+- **feat(providers):** add **b.ai** (`api.b.ai`) as a new OpenAI-compatible BYOK provider, distinct from the existing thebai/theb.ai provider, using passthrough model discovery with no hardcoded model list. (Inspired by 9router#963.) ([#5969](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5969))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Qiniu** (七牛云) AI inference gateway as a BYOK API-key provider — proxies many upstream models (DeepSeek V3/V4, Claude, Kimi, and more) behind a single key, shipping with an empty static seed and relying on `passthroughModels` + the live `/v1/models` catalog instead of a stale hardcoded model id. Regression guard: `tests/unit/qiniu-provider.test.ts`. (Inspired by 9router#911.) ([#5966](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5966))
+- **feat(providers):** port **ModelScope** (Alibaba 魔搭) as a new API-key, OpenAI-compatible provider — verified against ModelScope's own docs that the real production domain is `api-inference.modelscope.cn` (`.cn`, not the upstream PR's `.ai`) and shipped `passthroughModels: true` with an empty seed + `modelsUrl` instead of the upstream PR's static 5-model snapshot, since the open-model catalog moves fast. (Ported from 9router#1764.) ([#5965](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5965) — thanks @tn5052)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Augment (Auggie CLI)** as a new local, no-auth provider that spawns the user's local `auggie` CLI and pipes a flattened prompt via stdin, wrapping stdout as an OpenAI-compatible SSE stream or single JSON body. Auth is delegated to `auggie login` outside OmniRoute (synthetic `noAuth: true` connection, no DB row required); "Test Connection" spawns `auggie --version`. Hardened against the untrusted-input spawn sink: no `shell: true` on Windows (argv passed straight to the OS loader, no metacharacter interpretation), and `model` is validated against the registry allowlist before spawn (rejecting unknown or `-`-prefixed values) with a trailing `--` end-of-options marker. (Inspired by 9router#1200.) ([#5972](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5972) — thanks @chamdanilukman)
+- **feat(providers):** add **NVIDIA NIM image generation** — a dedicated `nvidia-nim` image format/handler (separate host, `ai.api.nvidia.com/v1/genai/<model>`, native NIM body shape) for the 4 FLUX models (flux.1-dev, flux.1-schnell, flux.1-kontext-dev, flux.2-klein-4b), shaping each model's per-model request body (dimension/mode validation, required input image + aspect ratio, optional edit image) and normalizing the NIM response's varying shapes into the OpenAI `{created, data}` shape. (Inspired by 9router#1195.) ([#5971](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5971))
+- **feat(oauth):** import a Codex connection from a raw ChatGPT access token — OmniRoute's only Codex import path previously required both `access_token` and `refresh_token`, leaving no path for a user with only a bare ChatGPT website access token. `createProviderConnection` gains an explicit `access_token` auth-type branch (intentionally never deduped), a new `POST /api/oauth/codex/import-token` route (Zod-validated), and `OAuthModal`'s manual-paste path now detects an `eyJ`-prefixed pasted token and posts it to the new endpoint, mirroring the existing grok-cli raw-token flow. The executor's `refreshCredentials()` already degrades safely to `null` without a refresh token, forcing re-auth on expiry. (Inspired by 9router#1290.) ([#5995](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5995) — thanks @ryanngit)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add a tool-source diagnostics settings toggle — a new Settings → Advanced card lets operators flip the existing `logToolSources` flag from the UI instead of editing the DB row directly; `logToolSources` is added to the `.strict()` `/api/settings` Zod PATCH schema (previously rejected). (Inspired by 9router#1825.) ([#5978](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5978) — thanks @DuyPrX)
+- **feat(dashboard):** collapse and sort provider quota rows by remaining percentage — the expanded quota list is sorted highest-remaining-first and collapsed to the first 3 rows by default, with a "Show N more"/"Show less" toggle when a connection reports more than 3 quotas, keeping at-risk quotas visible above a long list of healthy ones. Sort/slice logic extracted into pure, directly-unit-tested helpers (`sortQuotasByRemaining`, `getVisibleQuotas`). (Inspired by 9router#1919.) ([#5977](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5977))
+- **feat(dashboard):** suggest HuggingFace Hub media models — a new `GET /api/v1/providers/suggested-models` route proxies the public HF Hub models search API (Zod-validated, no token exposed client-side) and `ImageExampleCard` merges the results into the model picker as a selectable chip row for the huggingface provider; also adds a dedicated `huggingface-image` format/handler for HF's raw-image-bytes response. (Inspired by 9router#1633.) ([#5990](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5990))
+- **feat(cli-tools):** add a **Crush** entry to the dashboard CLI-Tools catalog plus a new `/api/cli-tools/crush-settings` route (GET/POST/DELETE) — OmniRoute already shipped a `crush` CLI setup command (`bin/cli/commands/setup-crush.mjs`) but the dashboard catalog had no matching entry; the new route writes to the same canonical `~/.config/crush/crush.json` path so the dashboard and CLI command agree. (Inspired by 9router#1233.) ([#5970](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5970))
+- **feat(providers):** extend Vercel AI Gateway (`vercel-ai-gateway`/`vag`) beyond chat-only to support **embeddings and image generation** — the gateway's OpenAI-compatible `/v1` API also exposes `/embeddings` and `/images/generations`, so entries were added to `EMBEDDING_PROVIDERS` (`embeddingRegistry.ts`) and `IMAGE_PROVIDERS` (`imageRegistry.ts`) modeled on the existing `openai` entries. ([#5968](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5968) — thanks @tantai-newnol)
+- **feat(api-keys):** add per-key **device/connection tracking** — a SHA-256 fingerprint of IP + User-Agent, with a 30-minute TTL and per-key/global caps, tracks distinct client devices seen with each API key (in-memory only, raw IP never stored). A new `GET /api/keys/[id]/devices` route exposes masked device details, and the API Keys dashboard tab gets a "Devices" count badge alongside the existing Sessions badge. This is a new granularity distinct from the existing `maxSessions` cap, which limits concurrent sticky-routing sessions rather than tracking device identity. ([#5998](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5998) — thanks @mugni-rukita)
+- **feat(proxy):** add **Webshare** (`proxy.webshare.io`) as a fourth source in the free-proxy provider framework alongside 1proxy, Proxifly, and IPLocate. `WebshareProvider` paginates the account's `/api/v2/proxy/list/` endpoint, upserts proxies into the shared `free_proxies` table, and tombstones proxies the account no longer lists while never touching rows already promoted into the live proxy pool. Unlike the other sources, Webshare is a paid per-account list, gated on `FREE_PROXY_WEBSHARE_API_KEY`. ([#5993](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5993) — thanks @ricatix)
+- **feat(antigravity):** support custom **Google Cloud project ID** settings from the connection edit modal (Antigravity family). ([#5905](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5905) — thanks @nickwizard)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add a **wildcard-CORS runtime warning** banner (Settings → Authorization) when `CORS_ALLOW_ALL`/`*` origins are in effect, plus a new `docs/security/CORS.md` security guide covering the risk and safer alternatives. ([#5602](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5602), [#5759](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5759))
+- **feat(api):** add a `/v1/audio/translations` endpoint (Whisper-style audio translation), a new `audioTranslation` handler, and translation providers wired into `audioRegistry`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/audio-translations-route.test.ts` (8, incl. no-stack-leak). ([#5809](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5809))
+- **feat(providers):** allow a **custom icon URL** for compatible provider nodes (migration 113 + `nodes.ts` + Zod schema + API routes + catalog + `ProviderIcon` UI). Regression guards: 14 backend + 5 frontend(vitest) + 24 page-utils tests. ([#5815](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5815))
+- **feat(xai):** register a dedicated `XaiExecutor` with reasoning-effort suffix parsing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executors/xai-executor.test.ts` (6). ([#5800](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5800))
+- **feat(webfetch):** support **self-hosted FireCrawl** instances via `FIRECRAWL_BASE_URL`/`FIRECRAWL_TIMEOUT_MS`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executors/firecrawl-fetch.test.ts` (4). ([#5793](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5793))
+- **feat(providers):** add **ClinePass** as a first-class API-key (BYOK) provider — Cline's paid gateway (`cline-pass/*` models, plain Bearer key), distinct from the existing OAuth `cline` provider. Regression guard: 16 clinepass tests. ([#5942](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5942) — thanks @adentdk)
+- **feat(relay):** gate **Bifrost auto-routing** by the provider plugin manifest — only manifest-eligible providers reach the sidecar; ineligible/unknown providers fall back to the existing TS routing path with explicit reasons. Regression guards: 4 provider-plugin-manifest + 11 relay-routing-backend tests. ([#5870](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5870) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(providers):** wire **Claude Sonnet 5** end-to-end across the model pipeline — registries, `modelSpecs`, pricing (×3), cost, Sonnet-family fallback, 1M-context, and static models. ([#5833](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5833) — thanks @ggiak)
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **dashboard (`/dashboard/system/proxy` 500 on every render):** `ProxyRegistryManager` called `useProxyBatchOperations(load)` before the `const load = useCallback(...)` declaration in the component body, so every server render threw a TDZ `ReferenceError: Cannot access 'load' before initialization` and the whole proxy page 500'd (#5918 regression, caught by the release-PR e2e smoke — the PR→release fast-gates never render pages). The hook block now sits after the `load` declaration. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/ProxyRegistryManager-tdz-render.test.tsx` (SSR renderToString — the exact crash mode).
+
+- **server (TRACE/TRACK/CONNECT returned raw 500 on every route):** methods that undici/fetch cannot represent blew up inside Next's middleware adapter (`TypeError: 'TRACE' HTTP method is unsupported.`) as an unhandled 500 (caught by the release-PR dast-smoke Schemathesis negative tests on the new `/api/keys/{id}/devices` endpoint). The raw HTTP method guard now answers a clean 405 + `Allow` header for these methods on any path, before Next sees the request. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dast-method-not-allowed.test.ts` (new case).
+
+- **i18n (auto-detect refreshed every first visit):** `LocaleAutoDetect` (#5979) called `router.refresh()` on every cookie-less first visit — even when the detected browser locale was exactly the one the server had just rendered — re-navigating the page mid-interaction (flaky e2e "execution context destroyed" + a visible flash for every new visitor). It now refreshes only when the detected locale differs from the server-rendered `<html lang>`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/LocaleAutoDetect-refresh.test.tsx`.
+
+- **models (`oc/` alias must reach the no-auth OpenCode provider):** restore the [#2901](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/2901) routing contract after the #5918 transitive-alias change made the registered no-auth `opencode` provider unreachable by any prefix (`oc/` chained through the manual `opencode` → `opencode-zen` slug override and misrouted its combo entries). `resolveProviderAlias` now stops the alias chain as soon as a hop lands on a registered provider id, while keeping #5918's transitivity across alias-only hops and its loop/depth guards. Regression guards: `tests/unit/combo-builder-opencode-prefix.test.ts`, `tests/unit/provider-alias-transitive-5918.test.ts`.
+
+- **providers (Auggie executor EPIPE crash):** a fast-exiting `auggie` CLI (e.g. binary present but immediately failing) delivered `EPIPE` **asynchronously** as an `'error'` event on the child's stdin stream — which a plain try/catch around `stdin.write()` cannot catch — crashing the request instead of surfacing the sanitized CLI error. Both spawn sites now attach a stdin `'error'` handler so the child's own exit/close handlers report the failure. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auggie-executor.test.ts` (deterministic 3/3 locally).
+
+- **dashboard (CoolingConnectionsPanel broke `next build`):** the cooling-connections panel from #6061 imported `Card` from a shadcn-style path that does not exist in this repo (`@/components/ui/card`) and pulled the server DB barrel (`@/lib/localDb`) into a client component — `next build` failed to compile on the release branch. The panel now renders with repo-native markup and reads `formatResetCountdown` from the new client-safe `src/shared/utils/formatting.ts`. Regression guards: `tests/unit/format-reset-countdown.test.ts`, `tests/unit/ui/CoolingConnectionsPanel.test.tsx`. ([#6155](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6155))
+
+- **oauth (Zed "Unknown provider" crash):** adding **Zed** from the providers dashboard threw an unhandled `OAuth GET error: Unknown provider: zed` (500) ([#6041](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6041)). Zed is a **keychain-import-only** provider — it's listed in the OAuth catalog so the UI shows it, but has no OAuth handler, so the generic `/api/oauth/[provider]/[action]` route hit `getProvider("zed")` and crashed. The route now recognizes keychain-import-only providers and returns a clear **400** pointing users at the **Import** button (for both GET and POST OAuth actions), instead of a 500. Regression guard: `tests/unit/oauth-keychain-import-only-6041.test.ts`. (thanks @imblowsnow)
+
+- **fix(providers):** disable the unsupported `thinking` param for `minimax-m2.7` on NVIDIA NIM (the upstream rejects it) ([#6102](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6102)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-minimax-thinking-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(mitm):** add an in-process guard so concurrent MITM server starts no longer race — a second start while one is already in flight is short-circuited instead of double-binding the listener ([#6107](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6107)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-start-guard.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **translator (Responses → Chat Completions):** strip the Responses-API-only `truncation` field before forwarding a `/v1/responses` request to a non-OpenAI Chat Completions upstream ([#6109](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6109)). Strict upstreams (e.g. NVIDIA NIM) rejected it with HTTP 400 `Unsupported parameter(s): truncation`, breaking Codex-style clients routed to those providers. `client_metadata`, `background`, and `safety_identifier` were already stripped — `truncation` was the remaining gap. Regression guard: `tests/unit/responses-strip-truncation-2311.test.ts`. (thanks @TuanNguyen0708)
+
+- **combo (prefer known context capacity over unknown):** when a combo filters out at least one target for exceeding a _known_ context limit, the router now prefers the remaining known-compatible targets over targets whose context metadata is simply unknown, instead of letting unknown-metadata targets be the only survivors. If no known-compatible context target remains, context-only candidates fall back to the normal strategy order. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-context-window-filter.test.ts`. ([#6088](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6088) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+
+- **models (GLM-5.2 context normalization):** stop treating every hosted GLM-5.2 provider alias as the native 1M-context model. Native/bare GLM-5.2 and verified OpenCode / ZenMux routes keep their 1,000,000-token context, while hosted-provider aliases now respect the caps declared in their provider metadata instead of inheriting the native max. Regression guards: `tests/unit/model-capabilities-registry.test.ts`, `tests/unit/models-catalog-route.test.ts`. ([#6091](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6091) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+
+- **providers (Gemini Web):** refresh the Gemini Web cookie handling and model catalog so live Gemini Web sessions keep authenticating and routing to current models. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-web.test.ts`. ([#6095](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6095) — thanks @backryun)
+
+- **providers (Perplexity Web):** refresh the Perplexity Web model catalog to the current set (GPT-5.4/5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.0 / Opus 4.8, GLM-5.2, Kimi K2.6, Nemotron 3 Ultra) and update the internal mode / `model_preference` mappings and thinking variants so requests resolve to live upstream models. Regression guard: `tests/unit/perplexity-web.test.ts`. ([#6106](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6106) — thanks @backryun)
+
+- **dashboard ("Update now" → Internal Server Error):** clicking **Update now** on the dashboard home could crash the page with a blank "Internal Server Error" screen (`Minified React error #31`). The handler POSTs the loopback-only `/api/system/version` auto-update endpoint and, on a non-OK JSON response (e.g. a `403` when the dashboard is reached through a reverse proxy / non-loopback origin), passed the raw error envelope object `{ error: { code, message, correlation_id } }` straight to `notify.error()`, which rendered the object as a React child and threw #31. The update-error path now funnels the body through `extractApiErrorMessage()` (the same safe extractor added in #5340), so a readable string always reaches the toast. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/home-update-error-render-5991.test.ts`. ([#5991](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5991))
+- **fix(onboarding):** route the provider-details link in the onboarding wizard by the node's stable id instead of the composite provider slug, which could point at the wrong provider details page for multi-account/fingerprint nodes. Regression guard: `tests/unit/onboarding-wizard-details-link-6145.test.ts`. ([#6145](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6145) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(cli):** give `setup-claude` a fallback profile generator mirroring `setup-codex`, so profile generation no longer silently no-ops when the primary generator path is unavailable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli/setup-claude.test.ts` (new cases). ([#6138](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6138) — thanks @derhornspieler)
+- **fix(glm):** suppress a leaked `</think>` close marker in the GLM Anthropic transport, which was surfacing the raw reasoning-close tag in visible response content instead of being consumed as part of the thinking-block framing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/glm-think-close-marker-leak.test.ts`. ([#6133](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6133) — thanks @dhaern)
+- **fix(provider-limits):** close a TOCTOU race in quota-recovery clearing by moving the check-then-clear to a CAS (compare-and-swap) primitive in `src/lib/db/providers.ts`, so two concurrent recovery paths can no longer both observe stale state and double-clear/re-lock a connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-limits-recovery.test.ts`. ([#6139](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6139) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **fix(provider-limits):** clear transient rate-limit state (`rateLimitedUntil`, `lastError`, `backoffLevel`) as soon as quota recovers, instead of leaving stale rate-limit fields behind that could keep a now-healthy connection looking unavailable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-limits-recovery.test.ts`. ([#6128](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6128) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **combos (OpenCode/MiMo fingerprint accounts):** expand fingerprint-scoped OpenCode/MiMo accounts into their full per-fingerprint set in the combo builder, which previously showed only the first matching account entry and hid the rest from combo target selection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-builder-fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`. ([#6092](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6092), closes [#6087](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6087) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(auth):** persist quota-preflight account lockouts until the reset window elapses, instead of losing the lockout on process restart and letting a still-quota-exhausted account be selected again immediately. Regression guards: `tests/unit/sse-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/opencode-quota-fetcher.test.ts`, `tests/unit/usage-service-hardening.test.ts`. ([#6090](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6090) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+- **combo (fingerprint-based provider expansion):** expand fingerprint-based providers into per-fingerprint combo targets (`open-sse/services/combo/fingerprintExpansion.ts`) so a combo referencing a fingerprint-scoped provider fans out to every matching fingerprint account instead of collapsing onto one. Regression guards: `tests/unit/combo-fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`, `tests/integration/fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`. ([#6082](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6082) — thanks @pizzav-xyz)
+- **fix (safety-net redirect `reqId` crash):** fix a `reqId` `ReferenceError` thrown inside the safety-net combo redirect path in `src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, remove dead code in `src/domain/quotaCache.ts`, and rename the stray root `DESING.md` to `DESIGN.md`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chat-safetynet-reqid-6097.test.ts`. ([#6097](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6097) — thanks @fix2015)
+- **fix(compression):** send a patch-only body to `PUT /api/settings/compression` from `CompressionHub`, instead of round-tripping the full settings object and risking clobbering fields changed elsewhere between load and save. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/CompressionHub-patch-only.test.tsx`. ([#6077](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6077), closes [#6039](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6039) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(codex):** use `access_token.exp` instead of `id_token.exp` when computing `expiresAt` on Codex auth import, since the `id_token` can expire far sooner than the actual access token, causing imported connections to be treated as expired while still usable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-auth-import-expiry.test.ts`. ([#6084](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6084), closes [#6075](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6075) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(security):** persist the IP allow/block-list configuration (it was resetting to Disabled and clearing configured IPs on every restart/update) and actually enforce it in the authz pipeline (`src/server/authz/pipeline.ts`), where it was previously validated but never applied. Regression guards: `tests/unit/ip-filter-persistence-6131.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/ip-filter-enforcement-6131.test.ts`, `tests/unit/ip-filter.test.ts`. (closes [#6131](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6131), [#6132](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6132))
+- **fix (Claude tool_result adjacency):** reattach an OpenAI-shaped `tool_result` to sit directly adjacent to its originating `tool_use` before translating to Claude's message format (`open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-claude/toolResultAdjacency.ts`), since Claude's API rejects/mishandles a tool result separated from its tool call by intervening messages. Regression guard: `tests/unit/translator-openai-to-claude.test.ts` (new cases). ([#6035](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6035) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(config):** externalize `ws`/`bufferutil`/`utf-8-validate` in `next.config.mjs` so the `copilot-m365-web` executor's WebSocket masking path works at runtime — chat requests through it were silently timing out because the bundler was inlining `ws` instead of leaving it as a real Node dependency. Regression guard: `tests/unit/next-config.test.ts`. ([#6130](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6130), closes [#6062](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6062) — thanks @anki1kr, whose #6098 fix it re-lands)
+- **fix(registry):** update grok-cli model context lengths to match the actual Grok CLI `/context` capacities — `grok-build` 128k→256k, `grok-composer-2.5-fast` 128k→200k — so context-aware routing stops filtering these models out for exceeding a stale, too-low limit. Registry-only. ([#5913](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5913) — thanks @Chewji9875)
+- **fix(providers):** strip an orphan `tool_result` (one with no preceding `tool_use`) on the Antigravity MITM path before translating to OpenAI format, since an unpaired tool result upstream caused request failures. Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-orphan-toolresult-6026.test.ts`. (closes [#6026](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6026), [#6115](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6115))
+- **fix(providers):** emulate OpenAI-style `tool_calls` in the GitLab Duo executor (new `open-sse/executors/gitlabResponses.ts`), since the executor previously didn't emulate tool-call semantics for Duo, breaking tool-using clients routed to GitLab Duo. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-duo-toolcalls-6051.test.ts`. (closes [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051), [#6111](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6111))
+- **fix(429 / accountFallback):** persist the per-account 429 cooldown cascade across the request boundary and classify OpenCode's "Monthly usage limit. Resets in N days." message as a connection-scoped quota exhaustion with an N-day cooldown (instead of a ~5s transient retry), so an exhausted account stops being re-selected until its window resets. ([#6061](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6061) — thanks @KooshaPari / @anki1kr, whose superseded #6086 carried the same day-parser approach)
+- **combo (sibling-model fallback on per-model-quota 500s):** when a combo held multiple models from the same provider (e.g. two Gemini models) and the first returned a server 500, the router retried the same locked model and surfaced a 429 "cooling down" instead of trying the sibling — `markConnectionLevelExhaustion` was wrongly tripped by a model-level 500 for per-model-quota providers (gemini, github, passthrough, compatible), and the retry loop didn't check `isModelLocked` before re-hitting the same model. Both gaps are fixed; the combo now falls through to the untried sibling model. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo/combo-target-exhaustion.test.ts` (21 cases). ([#5976](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5976) — thanks @hartmark)
+- **providers (Cline non-streaming envelope):** Cline can return OpenAI-compatible chat completions wrapped as `{ success, data: { choices, usage, ... } }`; the non-streaming path checked the top-level body for empty content before unwrapping, so a valid wrapped response could be misclassified as malformed/empty. The envelope is now unwrapped immediately after provider-envelope handling, before empty-content detection, usage extraction, and translation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cline-response-envelope.test.ts`. ([#6046](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6046) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **providers (kimi-web, qwen-web):** align the kimi-web model catalog and request-scenario selection with `www.kimi.com`'s live `GetAvailableModels` response, and stop aliasing `qwen3-coder-plus` on qwen-web now that it is present as its own model in the live Qwen web catalog. ([#5915](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5915) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **translator (Antigravity/Gemini tool schemas):** strip `multipleOf` from function-declaration parameters before forwarding to Antigravity/Gemini — it is not part of the Gemini OpenAPI 3.0 schema subset accepted upstream and triggered a hard 400 ("Unknown name multipleOf"). Added to `GEMINI_UNSUPPORTED_SCHEMA_KEYS` so it is stripped at every schema level; `minimum`/`maximum` are unaffected since Gemini accepts them. (Ported from 9router#2309, reported by @abil0321.) ([#6052](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6052))
+- **translator (Kiro system prompt leak):** Kiro/CodeWhisperer has no system role, so system messages were normalized into a bare user turn — the full Claude Code system prompt then appeared as raw user text, polluting model context. System-origin content is now wrapped in `<system-reminder>` tags before merging into the Kiro user message; real user turns are unaffected. (Ported from 9router#2306, reported by @VitzS7.) ([#6053](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6053))
+- **fix(codex):** convert Chat Completions `json_schema` `response_format` → Responses API `text.format` on the Codex path, and preserve an existing `text.format` through verbosity normalization. Regression guards: 48 translator-openai-responses-req + 8 codex-verbosity tests. ([#5933](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5933) — thanks @yusufrahadika)
+- **fix(thinking):** only inject the `redacted_thinking` replay block when `tool_use` is present and thinking is enabled, avoiding a fabricated replay block on plain (non-tool) turns. ([#5945](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5945), [#5953](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5953))
+- **fix(resilience):** honor active **codex session affinity** over per-request reset-aware re-scoring, so an in-flight session sticks to its pinned account instead of being re-scored away mid-conversation. New `src/sse/services/sessionAffinityPin.ts` module. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-session-affinity-reset-aware-5903.test.ts`. ([#5903](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5903), [#5943](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5943))
+- **fix(resilience):** compute per-window `is_exhausted` and honor the quota-exhaustion preflight for **priority combos**, so a combo no longer keeps routing to a target whose current window is already exhausted. New `open-sse/services/combo/quotaExhaustionCutoff.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-priority-quota-exhaustion-cutoff-5923.test.ts`. ([#5923](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5923), [#5941](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5941))
+- **fix(providers):** strip a `/v1` suffix from the base URL unconditionally in both models-discovery paths, avoiding a doubled `/v1/v1/models` fetch error (e.g. Api Airforce). Regression guard: `tests/unit/airforce-v1-double-prefix-5899.test.ts`. ([#5899](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5899), [#5920](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5920) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(api):** relax provider-scoped chat completion validation on `/api/providers/[provider]/chat/completions`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-scoped-chat-completions-validation.test.ts`. ([#5907](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5907) — thanks @nickwizard)
+- **fix(providers):** validate **v0 Platform** (Vercel) API keys via the `/chats` endpoint instead of a probe that rejected valid keys. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-validation-specialty.test.ts`. ([#5954](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5954) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+- **fix(mcp):** auto-recover stale streamable HTTP MCP sessions on `initialize` instead of failing the reconnect. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mcp-session-sweep.test.ts`. ([#5957](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5957) — thanks @Chewji9875)
+- **fix(translator):** enforce strict Anthropic content-block compliance when converting an antigravity → openai request. Regression guard: `tests/unit/translator-antigravity-to-openai.test.ts` (9). ([#5935](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5935))
+- **fix(sse):** strip ANSI/VT100 escape codes from `gemini-cli` stream frames using a ReDoS-safe pattern. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-cli-ansi-sanitization.test.ts` (5). ([#5934](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5934) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(discovery):** resolve a doubled `/v1` discovery path and a `REDIRECT_BLOCKED` probe-loop abort in the model-discovery route. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-route.test.ts`. ([#5904](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5904) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **fix(providers): Perplexity Web now emits real `tool_calls` in streaming mode** — previously only non-streaming requests (`hasTools && !stream`) converted `<tool>{...}</tool>` text into OpenAI `tool_calls`; streaming requests (the default for agentic coding clients) got the raw `<tool>` text as plain `delta.content` and never emitted a `tool_calls` SSE delta. Now mirrors the `chatgpt-web` `toolMode` helpers (`buildToolModeResponse()`/`toolCompletionToSseStream()`, extended with a caller-supplied `idSeed` so tool-call ids stay provider-specific), buffering the completion and emitting a terminal SSE replay carrying `delta.tool_calls` + `finish_reason: tool_calls` regardless of the caller's stream flag. ([#5927](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5927), [#5937](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5937))
+- **providers (openai-family model inference no longer hijacks cataloged models):** `resolveModelByProviderInference()` had an unconditional `/^gpt-/i` heuristic that hijacked any model id starting with `gpt-`/`o1`/`o3` into provider `openai`, even when the id is cataloged under other providers — breaking bare (non-combo) requests for open-weight models like `gpt-oss-120b` (served by fireworks/cerebras/scaleway/byteplus/sambanova/heroku), which don't exist on openai's catalog, producing a 404 with no fallback. The heuristic is now gated on `providers.length === 0` so it only fires for genuinely uncataloged openai-family ids. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gptoss-provider-inference-5852.test.ts`. ([#5852](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5852), [#5938](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5938))
+- **fix(providers): deepseek-web reliability** — auto-refresh the session on `401`/`403`, refresh the v2.0.0 client headers, and fix the token-kind bulk import path. Regression guards: `tests/unit/deepseek-web-autorefresh-401-response.test.ts`, `tests/unit/bulk-web-session-import.test.ts`. ([#5988](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5988) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(api):** guard the shared frontend API client (`handleResponse` in `src/shared/utils/api.ts`) against non-JSON error responses — it previously called `response.json()` unconditionally and read `data.error` directly, throwing an unrelated parse error (or `undefined`) instead of a useful message when an upstream/proxy returned a non-JSON error body. Now routes through `parseResponseBody`/`getErrorMessage` to build a safe message regardless of body shape. Regression guard: `tests/unit/shared-api-utils.test.ts`. ([#5973](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5973))
+- **fix(embeddings):** forward the connection-level proxy configuration to embedding requests — `src/lib/embeddings/service.ts` previously ignored a connection's configured proxy when making embedding calls, so proxy-only network setups leaked embedding traffic outside the proxy. Regression guard: `tests/unit/embeddings-proxy-forwarding.test.ts`. ([#5975](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5975))
+- **fix(resilience):** parse `Retry-After` from a 429's JSON body for cooldown calculation, not just the HTTP header — a new `retryAfterJson.ts` helper extracts a retry-after hint from common JSON error-body shapes and `accountFallback.ts`'s cooldown path now prefers it when the header is absent. Regression guard: `tests/unit/account-fallback-retry-after-json.test.ts`. (Includes #6013's retry-after-json extraction.) ([#5974](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5974) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **release close (release-PR one-pass CI sweep):** restore Zod validation on the provider-scoped chat route with a `.passthrough()` schema that keeps #5907's relaxed semantics (t06 route-validation gate); point `/api/keys/{id}/devices`' 401 response at the management error envelope in `docs/openapi.yaml` (Schemathesis schema-conformance); rebaseline `i18nUiCoverage.pct` 77.5→76.8 (~1352 new en.json UI keys from the cycle await the async translation workflow — same shape as the v3.8.39 rebaseline); dismiss 2 CodeQL `js/incomplete-url-substring-sanitization` false positives on unit-test asserts (v3.8.35 precedent).
+
+- **release close (Phase 0 pre-flight):** align cycle-stale tests with merged behavior — provider count 166→167 (Kenari #6104), Linux-regenerated translate-path golden (+`kenari`), OpenCode quota scope `provider`→`connection` (#6061) — and absorb cycle ratchet drift (file-size caps for `oauth/[provider]/[action]/route.ts` 960, `providerLimits.ts` 998, `chat.ts` 1662, `auth.ts` 2426, with #6158 tracked to restore the oauth-route freeze). The test-masking gate gains a narrowly-scoped `_deletedWithReplacement` allowlist section (deletion is exempt ONLY when the declared replacement test file exists in HEAD — used for `targetExhaustion.test.ts` → `tests/unit/combo/combo-target-exhaustion.test.ts`, which has MORE coverage: 21 cases/52 asserts vs 13/37), plus 5 new gate unit tests and reduction-allowlist entries for the verified-legitimate #5958/#6088/#5816 assert migrations.
+
+- **test (deflake `setup-claude`):** `tests/unit/cli/setup-claude.test.ts` failed ~50% of runs with `Unable to deserialize cloned data due to invalid or unsupported version` at file teardown (all subtests passed), randomly reddening `Unit Tests fast-path (2/2)` / `Fast Quality Gates` across the PR→release queue. Root cause: `node --test` streams each file's report to the parent as V8-serialized frames on fd 1 (stdout), and the CLI helper under test (`syncClaudeProfilesFromModels`) prints progress via `console.log` — that stdout output interleaved with the serialized frames and corrupted the stream. The test now silences the stdout-writing `console` methods for the file's duration (no assertion inspects stdout), making it deterministic (15/15 green locally). ([#5959](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5959)) ([#6021](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6021))
+
+- **API validation:** add a `validatedJsonBody(request, schema)` helper in `src/shared/validation/helpers.ts` that fuses JSON body parsing and Zod validation into a single call, returning either the type-narrowed data or a ready-to-return 400 `NextResponse` with the standard error envelope. Salvaged from the closed refactor PR #5075 (Tier 1 portable helper) with a focused 6-case regression test. Co-authored-by: KooshaPari <KooshaPari@users.noreply.github.com>
+- **repo (Windows case-conflict cleanup):** remove the stale root `DESIGN.md`, which case-conflicted with `design.md` and broke checkouts/clones on case-insensitive Windows filesystems. ([#6140](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6140) — thanks @backryun)
+- **i18n(zh-CN):** translate the CHANGELOG entries and section headings, adopting zh-CN as a fully translated locale alongside the existing supporting docs. ([#6043](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6043) — thanks @studyzy)
+- **docs (env-doc-sync base-red):** document `BIFROST_PORT` in `.env.example` / `docs/reference/ENVIRONMENT.md` — the Bifrost embedded-service merge referenced `process.env.BIFROST_PORT` (default 8080) without documenting it, so `check:env-doc-sync` failed on the release tip and reddened Fast Quality Gates for every open PR→release. Docs-only (`8d7e3e28f`).
+- **test (CI-runner-independent translate-path golden):** normalize OS/arch-derived request headers (`X-Stainless-Os`/`X-Stainless-Arch`, `(OS;arch)` User-Agent segments, and Antigravity's `os.platform()`-derived platform substring) in the provider translate-path golden snapshot, so the test no longer depends on the OS/arch of the CI runner that generated it — a Mac-literal Antigravity UA was failing on Linux CI. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-translate-path-golden.test.ts`. ([#6076](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6076) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **release-green base-reds (#5695 regex + file-size rebaseline):** `tests/unit/ui/quick-start-api-keys-link-5695.test.ts` now tolerates Prettier splitting a multi-line `<Link href=...>` so the `step1Desc` regex matches the `/dashboard/api-manager` link instead of skipping to `step2`'s single-line `/dashboard/providers` link (test was brittle, not the code). Also rebaselines 5 files that grew via already-merged release-tip PRs in `config/quality/file-size-baseline.json` (`ApiManagerPageClient` 3017→3058, `OAuthModal` 969→989, `cliRuntime` 1090→1100, `webProvidersA` 805→809, `deepseek-web.test` 1081→1092), with shrink tracked in #3501. ([#6093](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6093))
+- **release close (LEDGER-4 base-red):** the `cline-pass` provider's `minimax-m3` registry entry was missing `supportsVision`, breaking the LEDGER-4 registry-consistency test (every `minimax-m3` entry must set `supportsVision` to match `lite.ts` — the model is multimodal). Flagged it to match every other `minimax-m3` entry (trae, bazaarlink, cline, ollama-cloud, ...). ([#6003](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6003))
+- **release close (stryker `tap.testFiles` drift):** additional release-green cleanup clearing the `qoder` registry's `minimax-m3` `supportsVision` LEDGER-4 base-red and `stryker.conf.json`'s `tap.testFiles` drift. ([#6012](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6012))
+- **install (pnpm 11+ support):** pnpm 11 introduced `ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS` for native addon packages — without explicit `allowBuilds` approval, packages silently skip their build scripts and OmniRoute fails to start with missing native modules. Sets `allowBuilds=true` for all 13 native addon packages in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` (`@parcel/watcher`, `@swc/core`, `better-sqlite3`, `core-js`, `esbuild`, `keytar`, `koffi`, `libxmljs2`, `onnxruntime-node`, `protobufjs`, `sharp`, `tls-client-node`, `unrs-resolver`) and migrates `onlyBuiltDependencies` from the deprecated `package.json` field to a new `pnpm.json`. (commit 39349da18 — thanks @chirag127)
+- **refactor (Block J hot-path decomposition):** extract pure leaves with no behavior change from the executor, translator, combo, and SSE hot paths — orphaned executor tests moved to top-level so a runner collects them, and `handleComboChat`'s auto-strategy/target-timeout regions split into named helpers. ([#6063](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6063), [#6049](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6049), [#6036](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6036), [#6030](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6030), [#6020](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6020), [#6018](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6018), [#6017](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6017), [#6016](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6016), [#6015](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6015), [#6014](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6014), [#6008](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6008), [#6006](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6006), [#6000](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6000), [#5999](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5999), [#5994](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5994), [#5967](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5967), [#5962](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5962), [#5960](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5960), [#5947](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5947), [#5949](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5949), [#5940](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5940), [#5932](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5932))
+- **chore (quality/CI housekeeping):** rebaseline residual ESLint/cognitive-complexity/file-size drift accumulated over the v3.8.44 cycle, move orphaned executor tests to a top-level location so a runner actually collects them, harden the release pipeline with a test-masking pre-flight gate plus contributors/uncovered helpers, and make the `pr-evidence` FAIL output tell the author to push (a body edit alone does not re-run the gate). ([#5926](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5926), [#5944](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5944), [#5952](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5952), [#6027](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6027), [#5928](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5928), plus a #5975-collateral test hardening pinning a seeded connection to direct egress in route-edge-coverage)
+- **docs (housekeeping):** normalize mixed-language documentation content, restore the OpenAPI coverage ratchet by documenting 9 newly-added routes, record Hard Rule #22 (cross-session safety — `git stash` + in-flight PR bans), and document the compression-engine's upstream sync policy for the RTK/Caveman engines. ([#6105](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6105), [#5955](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5955), [#5948](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5948), plus docs-only commit 926b08aa8)

-#### Solução: Configure suas próprias credenciais OAuth
-
-Você precisa criar um **OAuth 2.0 Client ID** no Google Cloud Console com a URI do seu servidor.
-
-#### Passo a passo
-
-**1. Acesse o Google Cloud Console**
-
-Abra: [https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials)
-
-**2. Crie um novo OAuth 2.0 Client ID**
-
-- Clique em **"+ Create Credentials"** → **"OAuth client ID"**
-- Tipo de aplicativo: **"Web application"**
-- Nome: escolha qualquer nome (ex: `OmniRoute Remote`)
-
-**3. Adicione as Authorized Redirect URIs**
-
-No campo **"Authorized redirect URIs"**, adicione:
-
-```
-https://seu-servidor.com/callback
-```
-
-> Substitua `seu-servidor.com` pelo domínio ou IP do seu servidor (inclua a porta se necessário, ex: `http://45.33.32.156:20128/callback`).
-
-**4. Salve e copie as credenciais**
-
-Após criar, o Google mostrará o **Client ID** e o **Client Secret**.
-
-**5. Configure as variáveis de ambiente**
-
-No seu `.env` (ou nas variáveis de ambiente do Docker):
-
-```bash
-# Para Antigravity:
-ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=seu-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
-ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-seu-secret
-
-GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=seu-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
-GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-seu-secret
-```
-
-**6. Reinicie o OmniRoute**
-
-```bash
-# Se usando npm:
-npm run dev
-
-# Se usando Docker:
-docker restart omniroute
-```
-
-**7. Tente conectar novamente**
-
-
-Agora o Google redirecionará corretamente para `https://seu-servidor.com/callback` e a autenticação funcionará.
-
----
-
-#### Workaround temporário (sem configurar credenciais próprias)
-
-Se não quiser criar credenciais próprias agora, ainda é possível usar o fluxo **manual de URL**:
-
-1. O OmniRoute abrirá a URL de autorização do Google
-2. Após você autorizar, o Google tentará redirecionar para `localhost` (que falha no servidor remoto)
-3. **Copie a URL completa** da barra de endereço do seu browser (mesmo que a página não carregue)
-4. Cole essa URL no campo que aparece no modal de conexão do OmniRoute
-5. Clique em **"Connect"**
-
-> Este workaround funciona porque o código de autorização na URL é válido independente do redirect ter carregado ou não.

+- **9router Codex import**: the Codex bulk-import endpoint (`POST /api/oauth/codex/import`) now accepts 9router's camelCase account export (`accessToken`/`refreshToken`/`idToken`/`expiresAt` + nested `providerSpecificData`), not just snake_case — `normalizeCodexImportRecord` maps the camelCase aliases onto the existing snake_case keys, filling each only when absent so snake_case/mixed exports keep working unchanged ([#6665](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6665)) — thanks @deadcoder0904. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codexBulkImport.test.ts` (9router camelCase record, pre-supplied `providerSpecificData` without an id_token, snake_case-not-overridden, and a full `{accounts:[...]}` flatten).

+- **feat(release):** `changelog.d/` fragments — eliminates the CHANGELOG merge-storm cascade. ([#6783](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6783) — thanks @diegosouzapw)

+
+- **feat(dashboard):** sidebar quick-filter — a search input at the top of the expanded dashboard sidebar (`src/shared/components/Sidebar.tsx`) filters nav sections/groups/items client-side by label as you type, reusing the existing `common.search`/`common.noResults` i18n keys (zero new locale edits) and the shared `Input` `icon="search"` pattern; matching sections auto-expand while searching (bypassing the accordion/pin state) and collapse back to normal once the query is cleared. Pure filtering logic extracted into `filterSidebarSectionsByQuery()` (`src/shared/utils/sidebarSearch.ts`) for isolated unit testing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/sidebar-search-filter.test.ts`, `src/shared/components/Sidebar.search.test.tsx`. (#4013 — thanks @crochabe-cyber)
+- **feat(combo):** `auto/*` combos gain a strict budget-cap fallback policy — `X-OmniRoute-Budget-Fallback: strict` (or the persisted `config.budgetFallback: "strict"`) makes an over-budget request fail fast with `HTTP 402` instead of the previous silent fallback to the globally cheapest candidate, which could still exceed the cap. The default (`cheapest`) preserves existing behavior. Builds on the existing `X-OmniRoute-Budget`/`X-OmniRoute-Mode` per-request controls (#6023/#6024/#6025), consolidated into `resolveRequestAutoControls()`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auto-combo-budget-fallback-3470.test.ts`. (#3470)
+- **Provider/model param filters**: config-driven parameter denylist/allowlist per provider/model with auto-learn from upstream 400s (#6649 — thanks @ThongAccount, closes #6625)
+- **Per-combo reasoning token buffer toggle**: the combo builder now exposes an explicit checkbox for the `#3587` reasoning-model `max_tokens` buffer, defaulting to the existing enabled behavior, so a combo can opt out without hand-editing raw JSON config (#6702 — thanks @xz-dev)
+- **feat(dashboard):** 9router-parity **Routing Strategy** settings card on Settings → Routing, plus a per-provider account-routing override on the provider detail page ([#6678](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6678)) — surfaces the existing account round-robin / sticky-limit knobs and adds a new combo-level sticky round-robin (`comboStickyRoundRobinLimit`, resolved via `resolveComboStickyRoundRobinLimit()` — per-combo → global combo sticky → account sticky cascade) so combo targets can batch calls per target the same way account fallback already does. A new `providerStrategies` setting (Zod-validated map, `src/shared/validation/settingsSchemas.ts`) lets a specific provider override the global `fallbackStrategy`/`stickyRoundRobinLimit` without touching the account-wide default, wired into `getProviderCredentials()` (`src/sse/services/auth.ts`) ahead of the global fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-rr-sticky-9router.test.ts`, `tests/unit/settings-ui-layout-static.test.ts`. (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **feat(icons):** provider logos now resolve local SVG assets first for faster rendering, with a 5-tier fallback chain — local SVG → `@lobehub/icons` React components → `thesvg.org` CDN (external SVG for unknown providers) → local PNG → generic AI icon — replacing the previous LobeHub-first order. Adds dozens of first-party provider SVGs and migrates several bitmap logos (continue/copilot/cursor/deepgram/heroku/openclaw/ovhcloud) from PNG to SVG. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/ProviderIcon-icon-url.test.tsx`. ([#6317](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6317) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **Skill Collector CLI detection**: new `GET /api/skills/collect/detect` + `POST /api/skills/collect/install` (and the `cli-skill-collector` agent skill) detect which coding CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Cline, Hermes, OpenCode, etc.) are installed locally via `getCliRuntimeStatus()`, match them against GitHub agent-skill repos, and plan an install path per tool — replacing the standalone Skill Collector Python app. Both new routes and `GET/POST /api/github-skills` now require management auth (`requireManagementAuth()`) and are loopback-gated (`LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` + `SPAWN_CAPABLE_PREFIXES`) since the detect route spawns a child process per candidate CLI tool (Hard Rules #15 + #17). The `omniroute_github_skills_install` MCP tool now reports the honest `action: "planned"` instead of `"installed"`, matching the REST route (#6294 — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **ClinePass dual-auth**: ClinePass now offers both sign-in methods on its dashboard page — OAuth (reusing the Cline WorkOS flow) as the primary "Connect" path, or a pasted BYOK API key via "Manual API key", instead of only the API-key-only provider shipped in #5942. The registry alias was aligned to `cp` (matching the `OAUTH_PROVIDERS` catalog alias) so `<alias>/<modelId>` routing resolves correctly, the OAuth refresh dispatch now routes `clinepass` to the shared Cline refresh flow, and the duplicate API-key-only catalog entry was removed to keep ClinePass listed once. Regression guard: `tests/unit/clinepass-provider.test.ts`. (#6126 — thanks @hajilok)
+- **feat(oauth):** Kiro/Amazon Q auto-import now supports enterprise **External IdP** ("Your organization") logins via Microsoft Entra/Okta/Auth0/OneLogin/Ping/Google/Cognito — these org-issued tokens are not AWS SSO tokens (no `aorAAAAAG`-prefixed refresh token) and can't refresh through the AWS OIDC/Kiro-social path, so `tryAwsSsoCache()` now detects them (`authMethod`/`provider === "externalidp"`) and refreshes via the org IdP's own `tokenEndpoint` (public-client OAuth2 refresh grant, no client secret), persisting `TokenType: EXTERNAL_IDP` gating so the runtime executor sends the header the AWS CodeWhisperer API requires for these accounts; `tokenEndpoint` is SSRF-guarded against an HTTPS + known-IdP-host-suffix allowlist. (#6363 — thanks @artickc)
+- **Kiro long-lived API key auth**: new `/api/oauth/kiro/api-key` route + `KiroService.validateApiKey` let a Kiro account be linked with a long-lived AWS CodeWhisperer/Kiro API key instead of the interactive OAuth device flow, with live per-account model discovery (`ListAvailableModels`, 5-minute cache) layered over the existing static registry fallback (#6587 — thanks @strangersp)
+- **Chaos Mode**: multi-model parallel/collaborative task execution — dispatches a task to every active provider connection at once (parallel) or chains outputs sequentially so each model builds on the previous one's answer (collaborative), configurable via Dashboard → Chaos Mode (`GET`/`PUT`/`DELETE /api/chaos/config`) and gated per-API-key via a new `chaosModeEnabled` permission (opt-in — disabled by default globally and per key). `POST /api/chaos/run` (dashboard session) and `POST /api/skills/collect/chaos` (external Bearer-token) delegate to a shared `executeChaosRun()` engine (`src/lib/chaos/chaosExecutor.ts`) that dispatches in-process via the established synthetic-Request/route-handler pattern (no network hop, no hardcoded port), with a concurrency cap (max 10 parallel), configurable `max_tokens` (256–128k), a clear error when `stream` is requested, and collaborative-chain info (provider order + input size). Fixes external Bearer-auth bypass and stale config-cache leakage. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chaos-config.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chaos-executor.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chaos-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6728](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6728) — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **feat(cli):** 2 new CLI tool integrations on Dashboard → CLI Tools — **omp** (Oh My Pi) and **letta** — each with binary detection, config apply/reset, and a settings card following the existing tool-card pattern. Both settings routes shell out to `which omp`/`which letta` to detect the local install, so they're loopback-gated (`LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES`, Hard Rules #15/#17) in addition to the shared `requireCliToolsAuth()` management-auth guard every cli-tools route requires, and route errors through `sanitizeErrorMessage()`; `src/lib/db/omp.ts` isolates the `omp` CLI's own local SQLite reads behind parameterized queries. (Note: the original PR also proposed **pi**, **codewhale**, and **jcode** integrations — those three had already shipped via a separate PR by the time this one was reconciled, so only omp+letta landed here.) Regression guard: `tests/unit/db/omp.test.ts`, `tests/unit/cli-tools-auth-hardening.test.ts`, `tests/integration/cli-settings-omp.test.ts`, `tests/integration/cli-settings-letta.test.ts`. ([#6318](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6318) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **feat(providers):** custom models now support a manual **Context Window Override** so an operator can correct a provider's misreported context length (e.g. reports 1M when the real limit is 128K) instead of the model silently getting dropped from combo routing once the wrong value lands in the catalog ([#4125](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/4125) — thanks @rucciva). Reuses the existing Feature-5004 `model_context_overrides` table (`source: "manual"`) — already the priority-0 source `getModelContextLimit()` (the function combo's context-window filter calls) reads ahead of the models.dev/registry/static catalog — so no new resolver logic was needed, only the missing write path: `PUT /api/provider-models` now accepts an optional `contextWindowOverride` (number to set, `null` to clear), `GET` surfaces the current value back on each custom-model row, and the provider detail page's custom-model edit form gained a Context Window Override field + badge. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-context-window-override-4125.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** register OpenRouter as a rerank provider so `openrouter/cohere/rerank-*` models resolve instead of erroring `Invalid rerank model` (#6574 — thanks @rafpigna)
+- **fix(api):** `HEAD` requests no longer hang until client timeout on any route — valid, unknown, authed, or unauthed ([#6400](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6400)), broader follow-up to the route-specific #6517 (`/v1/models`). Root cause: Next.js 16's App Router _route-handler_ pipeline (`next/dist/server/send-response.js`) correctly skips piping a `Response` body for `HEAD`, but its _page_-rendering pipeline (`next/dist/server/pipe-readable.js` → `pipeToNodeResponse`, used for every app-router page/layout render — including the `not-found` boundary any unmatched path falls through to) has no such check and always streams the full rendered body regardless of method; combined with Node's default keep-alive framing this left some clients unsure whether the (implicitly bodyless) `HEAD` response had actually finished. A new `scripts/dev/head-response-guard.cjs`, wired into both the dev/start custom server (`scripts/dev/run-next.mjs`) and the packaged standalone server (`scripts/dev/standalone-server-ws.mjs`) at the same tier as the existing `http-method-guard.cjs`/`peer-stamp.mjs` wrappers, discards any body bytes written for a `HEAD` request and forces `Connection: close` once `.end()` is called — independent of route existence or auth state, satisfying RFC 9110 §9.3.2. Regression guard: `tests/unit/head-request-closes-6400.test.ts`.
+- **feat(dashboard):** Provider Quota page (`Dashboard → Quota`) fills horizontal whitespace before stacking vertically ([#3520](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3520)) — `QuotaCardGrid` previously stacked every provider group in a single vertical `flex flex-col`, and each group's own card grid didn't go multi-column until `md` (`grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 xl:grid-cols-3 2xl:grid-cols-4`). Provider groups now flow into a 2-column CSS multi-column layout on very wide (`2xl`) screens instead of an unconditional vertical stack, and each group's card grid starts at 2 columns immediately (`grid-cols-2 md:grid-cols-3 xl:grid-cols-4`), reaching higher density sooner on narrower-but-not-mobile viewports. Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-card-grid-horizontal-layout.test.ts` (thanks @gdevenyi).
+- **feat(ws):** the live-dashboard WebSocket server now auto-starts in-process (via `instrumentation-node.ts`) across every deployment mode — dev, production, Docker, Electron — with no separate sidecar script; the default WS port moved from 20129 to **20132** to avoid colliding with `API_PORT` in split-port setups, the deprecated `OMNIROUTE_DISABLE_LIVE_WS` env was consolidated into `OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS` (default enabled), and the WS path is now derived from `NEXT_PUBLIC_LIVE_WS_PUBLIC_URL`'s pathname (`/live-ws` fallback) (#6072 — thanks @ianriizky).
+- **feat(compression):** new **omniglyph** engine (context-as-image) — renders system prompt, tool docs, and dense history as compact PNG pages the model reads instead of text (~10× fewer tokens on the converted block; 59–70% end-to-end measured). Works stacked with RTK/Caveman (`stackPriority: 90`) or standalone (`mode: omniglyph`); restricted to Claude Fable 5 over the direct Anthropic route, fail-closed gates with `skip:<reason>` techniques, preview (`stable: false`, off by default) (#6556). Dependency bumped to `omniglyph@^1.0.2` for upstream ReDoS fixes (#6661).
+- **feat(sandbox):** the skill sandbox gained a container-provider abstraction that auto-detects and uses the best native runtime per host — Apple Container (macOS 26+), WSL container (`wslc.exe`), OrbStack, Podman — instead of hardcoding `docker run`, removing the Docker Desktop requirement on macOS/Windows (#6611 — thanks @KooshaPari).
+- **fix(sse):** skip `thinkingConfig` for Gemma models on the OpenAI→Gemini path so OpenAI-shape clients no longer get a 400 from Vertex. (thanks @chy1211)
+- **feat(xai):** route xAI clients to Grok's native `/v1/responses` endpoint instead of the chat-completions bridge. (thanks @ryanngit)
+- **feat(models):** add a Settings → AI "Model Overrides" UI plus `/api/model-capability-overrides` CRUD and a `model_capability_overrides` table, letting operators set a manual max-output-token override per provider/model (#6727 — thanks @xz-dev).
+- **feat(resilience):** operator-configurable account rotation policy — a new `rotationConfig` layer lets operators tune how connections rotate on failure, wired into `accountFallback` (#6763 — thanks @artickc).
+- **chore(cursor): add Grok 4.5 effort/fast model IDs** (#6774 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- **feat(codex):** Codex provider model discovery now fetches the live catalog from `chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/models` using Codex-shaped headers, falling back to a GitHub-hosted model manifest and then to the local static catalog when the live/GitHub sources are unavailable or return an unexpected shape — new `src/app/api/providers/[id]/models/discovery/codex.ts` (normalization, version-gating, merge/enrich against the local catalog) covered by `tests/unit/provider-models-discovery-split.test.ts` and `tests/unit/provider-models-route-codex.test.ts` (#6776 — thanks @JxnLexn).
+- **feat(cursor):** register the Opus 4.8, Fable 5, and Sonnet 5 model families for the Cursor Agent provider so the latest Claude/Fable model ids route correctly (#6779 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- **Changelog fragments (`changelog.d/`)**: PRs now add their changelog entry as a new fragment file (`changelog.d/{features|fixes|maintenance}/<PR>-<slug>.md`) instead of editing `CHANGELOG.md` — two PRs never touch the same file, structurally eliminating the CHANGELOG-eat merge conflicts that forced a re-sync push + full CI re-run after every sibling merge (O(N²) CI runs in a merge-storm). `scripts/release/aggregate-changelog.mjs` (npm run changelog:aggregate) folds fragments into the living section at release reconciliation, and `check:changelog-integrity` now also validates fragment well-formedness. Regression guard: `tests/unit/changelog-fragments.test.ts`.
+- **feat(proxy):** add a latency-optimized proxy rotation strategy that ranks pool entries by measured round-trip latency, extending the existing round-robin/random/sticky proxy-pool selection (#6798 — thanks @iamraydoan).
+- **feat(fusion):** the fusion judge may now draw on its own knowledge and override the panel when every panel answer is wrong or incomplete, instead of being restricted to synthesizing only from panel output (#6804 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **feat(dashboard):** search box on the Playground's raw model `<select>` (#4086) — the shared `ModelSelectModal` (combo builder + CLI-code cards) already had search, but Playground's `StudioConfigPane` model dropdown stayed a flat unsearchable list, unusable once a provider like OpenRouter contributed 50+ models. Typing now filters the dropdown (Turkish-safe accent/case-insensitive match via `matchesSearch`), while the currently selected model always stays pinned in the list even if it no longer matches the query, so typing never silently swaps the active selection. Reuses the existing `common.search` i18n key (already translated in all 42 locales) — no new translation key needed. Regression guard: `tests/unit/playground-model-selection-3731.test.ts` (`filterModelsByQuery`), `tests/unit/ui/playground-model-search-4086.test.tsx`.
+- **feat(usage):** Antigravity/agy quota widget now surfaces the **weekly** window alongside the existing per-model 5-hour window ([#4017](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/4017)) — the weekly limit isn't part of the per-model `retrieveUserQuota` response the fetcher already calls; it only appears in a separate, undocumented `retrieveUserQuotaSummary` RPC that groups models into families ("Gemini Models", "Claude and GPT models") with one weekly bucket per family. A new `usage/antigravityWeeklyQuota.ts` leaf fetches that RPC (cached, best-effort — a failure or unavailable RPC never breaks the existing per-model quotas) and parses the weekly bucket per group into `gemini_weekly`/`claude_gpt_weekly` quota entries, merged into the same `quotas` map the widget already renders generically. Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-weekly-quota-4017.test.ts` (bucket parsing, the alternate `quotaSummary`-nested envelope, and end-to-end merge via `getUsageForProvider`).
+- **feat(codex):** Codex CLI compatibility shim — the Responses API `response.created`/`response.in_progress`/`response.completed` payloads now carry a `model` field (previously absent), and for Codex-CLI-originated requests it echoes the client-requested, effort-suffixed model id (e.g. `gpt-5.5-xhigh`) instead of the bare upstream id (`gpt-5.5`), so the Codex CLI status line/model button shows the active reasoning effort ([#3697](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3697)). `openaiToOpenAIResponsesResponse` (`open-sse/translator/response/openai-responses.ts`) now threads the upstream model into the Responses event objects; a new `isCodexOriginatedHeaders()` (`open-sse/config/codexIdentity.ts`, reusing PR #3481's `originator`/User-Agent detection) makes chatCore's existing opt-in `echoRequestedModelName` (#1311) model-echo pipeline fire automatically for Codex clients regardless of the setting, detected by request headers so it still applies when `codex/gpt-5.5-xhigh` is routed through a combo to a non-codex upstream; `echoModelInObject`/`echoModelInSseLine` (`open-sse/services/responseModelEcho.ts`) now also rewrite the nested `response.model` field the Responses API uses. `/v1/models` still returns `models: []` for Codex (unchanged). Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-effort-model-echo-3697.test.ts`.
+- **Z.ai Web (free web-session provider)**: new `zai-web` web-cookie provider drives the free chat.z.ai consumer chat UI via a pasted browser session cookie, distinct from the existing API-key `zai`/`glm`/`glm-cn`/`glmt` providers (`api.z.ai`) — modeled on the `doubao-web`/`venice-web` cookie executors and the pre-existing `chatglm-web` credential requirement/token-extraction entries. `ZaiWebExecutor` (`open-sse/executors/zai-web.ts`) posts to `chat.z.ai/api/chat/completions` with the cookie forwarded both as `Cookie` and as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`, and normalizes both z.ai's internal `delta_content`/`phase` SSE envelope and a pass-through OpenAI-shaped `choices[].delta` frame into standard chat-completion chunks. Registered in `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS`, `WEB_SESSION_CREDENTIAL_REQUIREMENTS`, the provider registry (`zai-web` entry, GLM-4.6/4.5/4.5V models), and `tokenExtractionConfig.ts` for in-app cookie capture. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executor-zai-web.test.ts` (16 tests — token extraction, frame parsing for both SSE shapes, streaming and non-streaming aggregation, error paths). (#4056)
+- **feat(compression):** update the vendored **GCF** codec behind the **Headroom** engine to spec **v3.2 (nested flattening)** ([#6837](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6837)). Homogeneous arrays whose rows carry nested objects/arrays now tabularize via `>`-prefixed path fields instead of a low-yield per-row fallback, so nested MCP tool-result rows (`meta:{...}`, `tags:[...]`) compact like flat rows. On representative shapes the update takes deeply-nested payloads the old codec left near-uncompressed from ~3% to ~32% vs JSON (k8s pods, `cl100k_base`), with shallow-nested rows seeing a small bump and flat arrays unchanged. Re-vendored from current gcf-typescript (zero runtime deps, MIT, SPDX-marked, generic-profile only); also folds in the `[N]:` inline-array quoting fix and canonical decimal formatting. Round-trip stays lossless (order-insensitive), and the decoder is hardened against prototype pollution (a `__proto__`/`constructor` path segment never mutates `Object.prototype`, and keys shadowing built-ins like `toString` now round-trip correctly instead of misparsing). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression/headroom-smartcrusher.test.ts` (deep-nested + prototype-pollution cases).
+- **feat(providers):** Add GPT-5.6 support across OpenAI API, Codex, and ChatGPT Web, including Codex Max/Ultra efforts, VS Code metadata, Fast-tier credit accounting, curated live discovery, the Codex 0.144.1 client identity, and correct chat routing for models that also support image generation ([#6862](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6862)) - thanks @backryun
+- **chore(providers):** Align emitted Claude Code identity headers, bridge fingerprints, provider profiles, and documented defaults with claude-cli 2.1.207 ([#6862](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6862)) - thanks @backryun
+
+### 🐛 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(dashboard):** the Proxy Registry settings page crashed at runtime (`ReferenceError: poolLoaded/bulkImportOpen is not defined`) — the #6625/#6909 hook-extraction refactors deleted 10 state declarations (`poolLoaded`, `poolSaving`, and the 8-member bulk-import family) while ~30 usages remained; all restored (caught by the release E2E; `typecheck:core` does not cover dashboard TSX — follow-up #7021). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(combo):** `comboStickyRoundRobinLimit` now defaults to inherit (`null`) instead of `1` — the literal default silently shadowed the documented batched round-robin rotation (`stickyRoundRobinLimit: 3`), flipping every round-robin combo to per-request alternation (#6678 follow-up, caught by the release CI). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(ws):** the standalone LiveWS startup script exited 0 without ever listening — its bootstrapped child re-spawned with the import-suppressor `OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS=0` and then honored it as an operator disable (#6072 follow-up, caught by the release CI). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+

+- **fix(i18n):** the provider-detail (`/dashboard/providers/[id]`) visibility + free/paid model filter labels (`showVisibleOnly`, `showHiddenOnly`, `freeFilterAll`, `freeFilterFreeOnly`, `freeFilterPaidOnly`, `hideAllModels`, plus the currently-unused `filterVisible`/`filterHidden`/`filterByVisibility`) rendered as the literal `__MISSING__:<english>` sentinel in 15 locales, including pt-BR ([#6694](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6694)) — `providerText()` (`providerPageHelpers.ts`) checks `t.has(key)` before falling back to clean English, and `t.has()` returns `true` even when the stored value is the `__MISSING__:` sentinel `scripts/i18n/sync-ui-keys.mjs` writes when mirroring keys across locales, so the sentinel rendered verbatim instead of the fallback. Disjoint key set from #6290 (`filterAll`/`filterActive`/`filterError`/`filterBanned`/`filterCreditsExhausted`). All 9 keys now carry real translations across the 15 affected locale files (`it`, `ja`, `ko`, `mr`, `ms`, `nl`, `no`, `phi`, `pl`, `pt`, `pt-BR`, `ro`, `ru`, `sk`, `sv`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-provider-visibility-filter-keys-6694.test.ts`.

+- **fix(cli):** the dashboard's Claude Code CLI card could report "Not detected"/"Not installed" even when Claude Code was genuinely installed and previously used ([#6701](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6701)) — `getCliRuntimeStatus()` (`src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts`) determined `installed` purely from binary resolution (known install paths + a `where`/`which` PATH search), with no fallback when that lookup fails for reasons unrelated to whether the CLI is actually installed (stale PATH inherited by a long-running/background process, the binary having moved, an install method not yet catalogued, etc.) — even though `~/.claude/settings.json` on disk proves the tool was installed and used before. Upstream 9router's equivalent route already has this exact fallback. A new `withSettingsFallback()` (`src/shared/services/cliInstallFallback.ts`) restores 9router parity: when the binary lookup's own reason is `"not_found"` (never for deliberate security rejections like unsafe/relative env overrides or symlink escapes) and the tool's settings file exists on disk, `installed` now reports `true`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6701-claude-detect-fallback.test.ts`.
+- **fix(cli):** per-agent AgentBridge DNS toggle was broken for 8 of the 9 supported agents, and a failed MITM startup step could orphan the spawned proxy child — `addDNSEntry`/`removeDNSEntry` (`src/mitm/dns/dnsConfig.ts`) always resolved the legacy Antigravity default hosts regardless of which agent's toggle was flipped, so enabling DNS for Cursor/Codex/Claude Code/etc. silently added only `daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com` while the DB recorded `dns_enabled=true` for the selected agent. Both functions now accept an optional `agentId` and resolve hosts via `ALL_TARGETS`; `POST /api/tools/agent-bridge/agents/[id]/dns` passes the route's `id` through and now returns 404 for an id that doesn't match a known target instead of silently falling back. Separately, `startMitmInternal()` (`src/mitm/manager.ts`) now wraps `generateCert()` (log + rethrow), the `provisionDnsEntries()` call, and the PID-file write in try/catch so a mid-startup failure can't orphan the already-spawned MITM child process. On Windows, `addDNSEntries`/`removeDNSEntries` also batch every missing/present entry into a single elevated PowerShell invocation instead of one UAC prompt per host line. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dns-config-generic.test.ts` (agent-specific resolution + batching), `tests/unit/agent-bridge-dns-route-validation.test.ts` (404 for unknown agent id). ([#6338](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6338) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **fix(guardrails):** Vision Bridge's individual-model auto-reroute (route an image-bearing request straight to a vision-capable model instead of describe-then-forward) could bypass a policy-restricted API key's model allowlist/budget ([#6640](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6640)) — `VisionBridgeGuardrail.preCall()` (`src/lib/guardrails/visionBridge.ts`) swaps `body.model` to the best available vision-capable model, but that swap happens in the guardrail pipeline AFTER `chat.ts` already called `enforceApiKeyPolicy()` against the ORIGINAL model, so a key scoped to a narrow `allowedModels` list could still execute against an unvetted (and possibly costlier) vision model the reroute picked. `chat.ts` now re-validates any guardrail-driven model change against the same per-key allowlist (`isModelAllowedForKey`) before honoring it, falling back to the original already-approved model when the reroute target is not allowed. The reroute path also now honors an explicit `settings.visionBridgeModel` operator override (previously ignored, unlike the combo/describe path a few lines below it, which already respects it via `getVisionBridgeConfig`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/guardrails/visionBridge.test.ts` (22 tests). (thanks @herjarsa)
+- **fix(auth):** an API key restricted via `allowedModels`/`allowedCombos` could bypass that restriction entirely over the Codex Responses-over-WebSocket bridge ([#6564](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6564)) — `prepare()` in `src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts` authenticated the WS bridge's API key (`authenticate()`/`authorizeWebSocketHandshake()`) and honored `allowedConnections`, but never called `enforceApiKeyPolicy()`, the same model/combo policy gate the HTTP `/v1/responses` path enforces via `handleChat()` — so a key scoped to e.g. `combo/model-1.0` could still reach a direct Codex model like `gpt-5.5` through this transport, as long as an eligible Codex OAuth connection existed. The bridge's WS auth token arrives via query params (`api_key`/`token`/`access_token`), not a normal `Authorization` header, so a new `enforceCodexWsApiKeyPolicy()` builds an equivalent `Request` carrying an explicit `Authorization: Bearer <apiKey>` header and calls `enforceApiKeyPolicy()` against the CLIENT-requested model, before any Codex-specific model remapping or credential selection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-ws-policy-enforcement-6564.test.ts` (a model-restricted key is rejected 403 before reaching credential selection; a combo-restricted key is rejected 403 requesting a disallowed combo; a key that DOES allow the requested model still proceeds past policy). (thanks @Squawk7777 for the report and an independent fix via #6565)
+- **fix(security):** loopback-gate `/api/middleware/*` so a leaked JWT over a tunnel can't install or trigger a middleware hook — middleware hooks compile + run arbitrary JS via `new vm.Script` on the request hot path (`src/lib/middleware/registry.ts`), the same RCE class as the already-gated `/api/plugins/*`; `/api/middleware/` is now in `LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` so loopback enforcement runs unconditionally before any auth check (Hard Rules #15 + #17). Regression guard: `tests/unit/route-guard-middleware-local-only.test.ts`. ([#6541](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6541)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(startup):** AgentBridge's MITM server no longer fails to start with `ROUTER_API_KEY is required` on a normal install ([#6403](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6403)) — `POST /api/tools/agent-bridge/server` resolved the spawned MITM child's router key from only an explicit `apiKey` body field (never sent by the AgentBridge UI — the schema has no such field) and the `ROUTER_API_KEY` env var (unset by default), so `startMitm()` always received `""` and the child hard-exited, even though OmniRoute already had a usable API key in its own DB. A new `resolveRouterApiKey()` now falls back to `pickApiKeyForInternalUse()` (the same DB-backed selector the combo-health-check / cloud-sync internal probes use), resolving in order: explicit key → `ROUTER_API_KEY` env → an existing DB key. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentbridge-mitm-router-key-6403.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** deploying a Cloudflare relay Worker from Dashboard → System → Proxy pool → Cloudflare relay failed immediately with `Cloudflare Worker upload failed: Content-Type must be one of: application/javascript, text/javascript, multipart/form-data`, even with a valid token/account ([#6416](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6416)) — the Worker-script upload built a native `FormData` and let `fetch` derive the multipart Content-Type automatically, but in production `globalThis.fetch` is patched with `node_modules/undici`'s own fetch (`open-sse/utils/proxyFetch.ts`), whose `FormData`/`Request` classes differ from the runtime's global `FormData` (same cross-realm class mismatch already fixed once for image edits in #3273); passing a native `FormData` instance through undici's patched fetch made it serialize the body as the literal string `"[object FormData]"` with `Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8`, which Cloudflare rejects outright. `buildCloudflareWorkerUploadRequest()` (`src/lib/proxyRelay/cloudflareWorkerScript.ts`) now builds the multipart body as a raw `Buffer` with an explicit boundary and `Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=…` header, accepted verbatim by any fetch implementation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloudflare-worker-upload-content-type-6416.test.ts` + updated `tests/unit/relay-deploy-5128.test.ts`.
+- **fix(security):** SSRF-guard the provider-validation probes so they can no longer be used as an open relay to cloud-metadata endpoints — `directHttpsRequest()` (web-cookie / NVIDIA / Z.AI validation, all with a caller-controllable `baseUrl`) ran with `guard:"none"` + `allowRedirect:true`; it now applies `getProviderValidationGuard()` (default `block-metadata`: LAN/localhost allowed, `169.254.169.254`/link-local IMDS rejected, opt-out via `OMNIROUTE_ALLOW_PRIVATE_PROVIDER_URLS`) and `allowRedirect:false` so a provider can't 3xx-redirect the probe to metadata past the initial-URL guard. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-validation-ssrf-guard.test.ts`. ([#6542](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6542)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(startup):** AgentBridge's MITM proxy served a mismatched cert for 3 of the 4 antigravity/cloudcode-pa hosts it terminates TLS for, breaking interception ([#6494](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6494)) — `src/mitm/server.cjs`'s `TARGET_HOSTS` decrypts all 4 hosts locally (`daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`, `cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`, `daily-cloudcode-pa.sandbox.googleapis.com`, `autopush-cloudcode-pa.sandbox.googleapis.com`), but `src/mitm/cert/generate.ts`'s self-signed cert only carried a SAN entry for the first host — a request to any of the other 3 got served a cert whose CN/SAN didn't match (confirmed via `curl -k https://cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com/` showing `CN=daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`). `generateCert()` now sources its host list from `ANTIGRAVITY_TARGET.hosts` (`src/mitm/targets/antigravity.ts`, the single authoritative registry already kept in lock-step with `server.cjs`/`dnsConfig.ts`/`mitmToolHosts.ts` by their own drift tests) and emits a SAN entry for all 4 hosts instead of hard-coding a second, incomplete copy. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentbridge-antigravity-cert-hosts-6494.test.ts` (asserts the host list covers all 4 hosts and that the real generated cert's SAN includes each one).
+- **fix(resilience):** a `priority` combo never fell back when a target masked credit/quota exhaustion behind an HTTP 200 ([#6427](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6427)) — `validateResponseQuality()` (`open-sse/services/combo/validateQuality.ts`) only inspected the response body's top-level `error` field when `choices` was ALSO missing/empty (the narrower #3424 empty-completion case); a masked 200 that echoed a non-empty stub `choices` alongside a structured error object, or a known exhaustion phrase (e.g. "insufficient credits", "quota exceeded") in the error envelope, slipped through as "valid" and the combo kept returning the dead target's response forever instead of failing over. The quality check now inspects the error envelope — a top-level OpenAI-shape `error` object, or a bounded, case-insensitive exhaustion-phrase match against `error.message`/`error.code`/`error.type`/top-level `message`/`detail` — unconditionally, before any shape-specific branch, and regardless of whether `choices`/`output` also look structurally present. The check never inspects `choices[].message.content`, so a legitimate completion that merely mentions "quota" or "credits" in assistant prose is not misclassified. Regression guard: `tests/unit/masked-200-exhaustion-fallback-6427.test.ts`.
+- **fix(security):** fail-closed CORS for the cookie/session-authed cloud-agent management routes — `getCloudAgentCorsHeaders()` reflected any caller's `Origin` and paired it with `Allow-Credentials: true` (a CSRF/exfil hole); it now defers to the central allowlist (`resolveAllowedOrigin`), echoes only an allowlisted origin with `Vary: Origin`, and emits `Allow-Credentials` only for an explicitly allowlisted origin — never for a `CORS_ALLOW_ALL` wildcard echo. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloud-agent-cors-failclosed.test.ts`. ([#6543](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6543)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(compression):** adaptive-compression ladder ranked 6 real catalog engines (`ccr`, `ionizer`, `relevance`, `llmlingua`, `llm`, `read-lifecycle`) as if they didn't exist ([#6533](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6533)) — `ladder.ts`'s `AGGRESSIVENESS` and `REDUCTION_FACTOR` maps only covered the 7 engines wired into `DEFAULT_LADDER` (session-dedup/rtk/headroom/lite/caveman/aggressive/ultra); every other engine registered in `open-sse/services/compression/engines/index.ts` — including `ccr`/`llmlingua`, which the ladder doc comment already says are intentionally addable via `ladderOverride` — fell through to `aggressivenessOf()`'s `?? 0` default (same rank as `"off"`) and `expectedReductionFactor()`'s generic `?? 0.9` fallback, so `floor`-mode escalation could not rank or escalate past them once added to a custom ladder. Both maps now carry entries for all 6 missing real engines, rescaled ×10 (`off:0` … `ultra:70`) and placed by each engine's documented `stackPriority` (`ionizer` between `rtk`/`headroom`, `relevance` before `caveman`, `llmlingua`/`llm` between `aggressive` and `ultra`, etc.); `mcpAccessibility` — named in the report — is not a registered `CompressionEngine` (it's a separate MCP tool-response truncation mechanism) and was correctly left out. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ladder-engine-maps-6533.test.ts` (asserts every id from `listCompressionEngines()` ranks above `"off"` with a non-default reduction factor). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** tool-call arguments could render as `[object Object]` sequences instead of the real JSON through the `/anthropic` (Anthropic-shape `/messages`) routing path ([#6459](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6459)) — `appendToolCallArgumentDelta()` (`open-sse/utils/toolCallArguments.ts`), the shared accumulator the streaming `openai-to-claude` response translator, `openai-responses` translator, and `responsesTransformer` all call to build up a tool call's `arguments`/`input_json_delta` buffer, treated any non-string `incoming` fragment as an empty string. Some upstreams deliver the full `tool_calls[].function.arguments` value as an already-parsed JSON object/array instead of the OpenAI-contracted JSON-encoded string; the old code silently discarded that fragment, leaving `tool_use.input` empty, and left downstream buffers open to a plain string coercion of the object (`[object Object]`) once client-side concatenation kicked in. `appendToolCallArgumentDelta()` now `JSON.stringify()`s a non-string, non-null object/array fragment into a valid JSON fragment instead of dropping it, so the assembled `partial_json` always parses back into the original structured value. Regression guard: `tests/unit/anthropic-toolcall-args-6459.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(providers):** `fusion` combo returned the opaque `"All fusion panel models failed"` 503 even when only a minority of panel members were actually cooling down / rate-limited, and a user-supplied `fusionTuning.minPanel=1` was silently overridden ([#6454](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6454)) — `handleFusionChat()` hard-clamped the quorum floor via `Math.min(Math.max(2, cfg.minPanel), panel.length)`, so an operator-configured `minPanel=1` never took effect: `collectPanel()`'s straggler-grace timer only starts once `ok >= minPanel`, and with the floor forced to 2 a single fast success plus N slow-failing stragglers never reached quorum, so the panel sat waiting instead of degrading to the survivor. Per-member failure reasons (`straggler_dropped`/`timeout`/`threw`/`status_XXX`/`empty_content`/`unparseable`) were also logged server-side but never surfaced in the 503 body, leaving operators unable to tell a rate-limit fan-fail from a broader outage. Fixed by honoring `Math.max(1, cfg.minPanel)` and threading a `failures: Array<{ model, reason }>` collector into the 503 message (`model=reason` per entry) — production fix already merged via #6521; this entry backfills the missing CHANGELOG bullet and adds an 11-member, `fusion-free`-scale regression test matching the original repro shape (a cooling minority must not sink a healthy majority; a genuinely all-failed panel still returns the documented 503). Regression guard: `tests/unit/services/fusion-min-panel-and-failure-detail.test.ts` + `tests/unit/fusion-partial-panel-failure-6454.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(providers):** `fusion` combo strategy silently returned a panel member's raw answer instead of the configured `config.judgeModel` synthesis ([#6455](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6455)) — `handleFusionChat()`'s single-survivor "degrade gracefully" path (added for #6454) returned the lone panel answer directly whenever only one panelist succeeded, regardless of whether an explicit `judgeModel` was configured; with the default `minPanel: 2` and a 2-model panel, any single flaky/rate-limited panelist forced this path on every request, so the configured judge (e.g. `auto/claude-opus`) was never invoked and the client-visible `.model` reflected whichever panelist happened to survive. The judge is now still invoked to synthesize a lone surviving answer whenever `judgeModel` is explicitly configured; the cheap direct-answer shortcut is kept only for the implicit case (no `judgeModel` set, where the "judge" is just `panel[0]`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/fusion-judge-model-6455.test.ts` + updated `tests/unit/combo-fusion-strategy.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(combo):** sanitized diagnostic trace on an auto-combo terminal failure — instead of an opaque 503, a terminal combo failure now returns a whitelist-projected trace (candidate pool size, attempted count, excluded provider/reason codes, attempt order, and a terminal-reason code) via the new `errorResponseWithComboDiagnostics()`/`sanitizeComboDiagnostics()` in `open-sse/utils/error.ts` — provider/model ids and enumerated reason codes only, never keys/tokens/bodies, length- and count-capped. A reasoning-budget-exhausted panel now returns an actionable "increase max_tokens" message rather than a blind retry-limit 503. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-diagnostics-trace.test.ts`. ([#6545](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6545)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** image/diffusion models discovered from an upstream catalog (e.g. HuggingFace's live `/v1/models`) are no longer advertised as chat models ([#6457](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6457)) — the chat catalog builder defaulted synced models with no modality info to `endpoints: ["chat"]`, so `huggingface/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0` showed up in the chat `/v1/models` listing and returned `400 "not a chat model"` when called. `catalog.ts` now skips any synced model already registered as an image model for that provider (via the new `isRegisteredImageModel()`), leaving `getAllImageModels()` to list it with the correct `type: "image"`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/image-model-not-in-chat-catalog-6457.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** combo session stickiness never released a pin on a credits-exhausted/banned/expired account, permanently defeating failover for that conversation ([#6692](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6692)) — `applySessionStickiness()` (`open-sse/services/combo/sessionStickiness.ts`) gated the sticky pin only on 5h/weekly usage-percentage headroom, which is orthogonal to account availability: a `credits_exhausted`/`banned`/`expired` connection, or one still inside its `rateLimitedUntil` cooldown, reports perfectly healthy headroom, so the pin was force-promoted back to the front of the target list on every subsequent turn. `clearStickyBinding()` also had zero call sites in `combo.ts`'s failure paths, so a quality-validation-rejected 200 (a masked daily-cap refusal) never released the pin either. The gate now also resolves the bound connection's terminal status/cooldown via a new injectable fetcher seam (fail-open on lookup errors, mirroring the existing saturation fetcher), and `combo.ts`'s two dispatchers (`handleComboChat`/`handleRoundRobinCombo`) release the pin immediately at both their connection-exhaustion classification point and their quality-validation-failure branch via the new `releaseStickyPinOnFailure()`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6692-sticky-terminal.test.ts` + extended `tests/unit/combo-session-stickiness.test.ts`.
+- **fix(test):** replace the bare `expect(true).toBe(true)` tautology in `playground-api-tab.test.tsx`'s SSE test and close the `check:test-masking` gap that let it slip through for a full cycle ([#6404](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6404)) — a prior pass (#6548) had already swapped the literal to `expect(sendBtn).toBeDefined()`, but that stayed just as vacuous: the test's fetch mock returned an empty `/v1/models` list, so `ApiTab`'s Send button is always `disabled` (`!selectedModel`) and the SSE branch never runs — the "SSE infra is verified" comment was never true. The test now mocks a real model, drives the model `<select>` to enable Send, asserts `sendBtn.disabled === false` before clicking, and asserts the streamed SSE delta (`"Hello!"`) actually reached the response editor. Root cause on the detector side: `check-test-masking.mjs`'s tautology subcheck only compares base-vs-HEAD counts within a PR's own diff (`headExtTaut > baseExtTaut`) and no-ops locally when `GITHUB_BASE_SHA`/`GITHUB_BASE_REF` are unset ("sem base ref — pulando") — so a tautology merged once, or checked with a bare local run, was invisible forever after. Added a new always-on, PR-independent absolute-floor scan (`scanBareTautologies` + `countBareTautologies`) over every git-tracked test file for the bare `expect(true).toBe(true)` / `assert.equal(1,1)` / `assert.strictEqual(1,1)` patterns specifically (deliberately excluding `assert.ok(true)`, which has ~15 pre-existing verified-legitimate try/catch-fallback uses repo-wide and stays governed by the lenient diff-only subcheck) — verified zero pre-existing hits repo-wide once this file was fixed, so the new floor is safe to enforce unconditionally. Regression guard: `tests/unit/check-test-masking.test.ts` (new `scanBareTautologies`/`countBareTautologies` cases) + `tests/unit/ui/playground-api-tab.test.tsx`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(oauth):** Codex/ChatGPT (and every other OAuth provider) connection stays stuck showing "Auth Failed" even after a genuinely successful token refresh ([#6352](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6352)) — `updateProviderCredentials()` (the shared `onPersist` callback for the manual "Refresh token" route, the reactive per-request refresh in `chat.ts`, and the Codex/Claude auth-file importers) correctly reused the stored `refresh_token`, persisted the new `access_token`, and replaced a rotated `refresh_token`, but never cleared the stale `testStatus`/`lastError*`/`errorCode` fields left over from a prior expired/invalid refresh or upstream 401/403 — only the separate background health-check sweep did that clearing. A successful refresh now resets `testStatus` to `"active"` and clears `lastError`, `lastErrorAt`, `lastErrorType`, `lastErrorSource`, and `errorCode` (an explicit `testStatus` from the caller still wins). Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-oauth-refresh-persist-6352.test.ts`.
+- **perf(health):** short-TTL (1s) cache for the frequently-polled `GET /api/monitoring/health` payload — rebuilding it every request (DB reads + status aggregation across 8 subsystems) was wasteful under rapid polling; the cache stays near-real-time and is invalidated immediately on `DELETE` (circuit-breaker reset) so a manual reset is reflected at once. Regression guard: `tests/integration/monitoring-health-cache.test.ts`. ([#6553](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6553)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(resilience):** `headroom` combo routing did not always select the Codex account with the most free quota ([#6379](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6379)) — `orderTargetsByHeadroom` (`open-sse/services/combo/quotaStrategies.ts`) already loaded the per-connection DB snapshot (with decrypted credentials) via `expandTargetsByQuotaAwareConnections`, but discarded it before calling `getSaturation`; for Codex, `fetchCodexSaturation` forwards straight to `fetchCodexQuota(connectionId, connection)`, which needs `connection` (or a prior `registerCodexConnection()` call, which never happens before headroom ranking runs) to read `accessToken` — so it returned `null` for every candidate, saturation failed open to `0` across the board, and ranking fell back to the original combo order regardless of actual free quota. `getSaturation()` and the headroom `SaturationFetcher` seam now accept and thread the loaded connection snapshot through to `fetchCodexQuota`. Kilo's dup flag vs #5903 was a false positive — that issue is about session-sticky reset-aware/least-used selection, not headroom's Codex saturation lookup. Regression guard: `tests/unit/headroom-codex-quota-snapshot-6379.test.ts`. (thanks @eidoog)
+- **fix(providers):** custom models a provider actually has are no longer dropped from the Free Provider Rankings when both **"Configured only"** and **"Available only"** filters are applied ([#6368](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6368)), follow-up to #6150 — `freeProviderRankings.ts::getProviderModels()` only ever walked the static `open-sse/config/providerRegistry.ts` catalog, so a user-added custom model (e.g. a Puter `claude-fable-5` model saved as "Claude Fable 5") never entered the candidate model list the ranking scores against, and could never survive the #6150 configured/available filters even when actually configured and available. It now additively merges the provider's custom models (`db/models.ts::getCustomModels`) into that candidate list via a new pure, de-duping `mergeProviderModels()` helper, before scoring/filtering runs — catalog free/paid filtering elsewhere is untouched. Regression guard: `tests/unit/free-provider-rankings-custom-models-6368.test.ts`. (thanks @shabeer)
+- **fix(playground):** accept a valid dashboard session for `GET/POST /api/playground/presets` under `REQUIRE_API_KEY=true` — the Playground page calls this route with a cookie/session and no API key, which previously 401'd the authenticated dashboard; `checkAuth()` now accepts a management/dashboard session (`requireManagementAuth`) as an alternative to an API key, while a presented API key must still be valid and the anonymous-allowed default is preserved. Regression guard: `tests/integration/presets-dashboard-auth.test.ts`. ([#6554](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6554)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** `cloudflare-ai` no longer silently drops image/non-text content parts ([#6390](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6390)) — `transformRequest()`'s `flattenContent()` (added for #2539 to satisfy the Workers AI `/ai/v1/chat/completions` plain-string `content` requirement) mapped any non-text OpenAI content part (e.g. `image_url`) to `""` and joined the rest, so a request carrying an image quietly went out as text-only with the attachment gone and no error surfaced. It now throws a clear error on the first non-text part instead of dropping it silently, which the existing top-level `chatCore.ts` catch already routes through `buildErrorBody()`/`sanitizeErrorMessage()` (same pattern as `buildUrl()`'s missing-Account-ID error). Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloudflare-ai-image-parts-6390.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** stop Antigravity connections from falsely reporting **all-accounts quota-exhausted** ([#6295](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6295)) — `genericQuotaFetcher.ts::percentUsedForQuota()` ignored the `fractionReported` flag and defaulted an unreported model's `remainingPercentage` to 0, which computed as 100% used; since `convertUsageToQuotaInfo()` takes the worst-case window across a connection, a single model with no reported fraction dragged the whole account into `limitReached` and `quotaPreflight` skipped it. `percentUsedForQuota()` now returns `null` (unknown, window ignored) whenever `fractionReported === false`, before falling back to `remainingPercentage`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/generic-quota-fetcher.test.ts`.
+- **fix(fusion):** the fusion judge no longer replays a panel member's answer via an idempotency-key collision — fusion's panel + judge sub-requests re-enter `chatCore` sharing the client's headers, so they derived the same `Idempotency-Key`/`x-request-id` and a panel answer saved under the key was replayed by the judge's check ~1ms later (inside the 5s window), returning a panel member's answer instead of the judge synthesis (observed live on `nexa/conversation-fusion`). `composeIdempotencyKey()` now namespaces the key by target provider/model + a digest of the request messages, so sub-requests can't collide while a genuine client retry (same key/model/body) still replays. Regression guard: `tests/unit/idempotency-fusion-collision.test.ts`. ([#6558](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6558)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** grok-cli (Grok Build) now strips `reasoning_effort`/`reasoning` before forwarding the request ([#6288](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6288)) — Claude Code sends `reasoning_effort` on every request (routing the Opus slot), which Grok Build's upstream chat-proxy endpoint rejects with a 400; `transformRequest()`'s existing `UNSUPPORTED` sampling-param strip list (#5273) never covered it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/grok-cli-reasoning-strip-6288.test.ts`.
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute serve` no longer hangs silently on a readiness timeout ([#6321](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6321)) — the child server's stdout was piped to `"ignore"` whenever `--log`/`OMNIROUTE_SHOW_LOG` wasn't set (the default), discarding any debug output, and `runWithSupervisor`'s `waitForServer(...).then((up) => { if (up) {...} })` had no `else` branch, so a boot that never became ready produced zero further output after "⏳ Starting server...". Stdout is now buffered alongside stderr (`ServerSupervisor.getRecentLog()`), and a timeout prints a clear diagnostic plus the buffered output instead of staying silent. Does not by itself explain why boot never completes on a given machine — see the issue for further reproduction. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli-serve-readiness-timeout-6321.test.ts`.
+- **fix(pricing):** Pricing Sync dashboard no longer stuck on "Next Sync: Never" / "Synced Models: 0" ([#6325](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6325)) — `pricingSync.ts` kept sync state (`lastSyncTime`, `lastSyncModelCount`) in module-level vars, but the background periodic sync (`instrumentation-node.ts`) and the dashboard status route (`/api/pricing/sync`) each import the module from separate Next.js standalone webpack chunks, giving each its own independent state; `getSyncStatus()` read the (empty) API-route instance's vars. Sync status is now additionally persisted to a new `pricing_sync_status` `key_value` namespace and `getSyncStatus()` falls back to it when the local module instance never ran a sync itself. Regression guard: `tests/unit/pricing-sync-cross-instance.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** stop spuriously 403-ing "Invalid request origin" on `POST /api/providers/health-autopilot/actions` for Docker/LAN dashboard requests ([#6277](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6277)) — the route carried a duplicate per-route `validateBrowserMutationOrigin` check re-added by the v3.8.42 release squash after PR #5278 centralized origin enforcement in the authz pipeline; the pipeline strips `PEER_IP_HEADER` before forwarding, so the stale duplicate check could no longer resolve the LAN "direct-local-host" candidate and rejected legitimate same-origin LAN mutations (e.g. clicking "remove cooldown" when accessed via a LAN IP). Removed the duplicate check — origin validation is now solely enforced by the centralized pipeline check, which already handles this case correctly. Regression guard: `tests/unit/serial/provider-health-autopilot.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** a bare, unrecognized `403` from a no-credential (`authType:"none"`) provider like mimocode or theoldllm no longer permanently bans the connection ([#6315](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6315), [#6345](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6345)) — `classifyProviderError()`'s 403 branch only exempted `apikey` providers from the terminal `FORBIDDEN` classification, so these free/stateless proxies (no real account/credential to revoke) fell through to `FORBIDDEN` on the first unmatched 403 and got `isActive:false, testStatus:"banned"` with no cooldown or retry. The exemption now also covers `authType:"none"` providers, returning `null` (recoverable) so the existing connection-cooldown/retry layer handles it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/errorClassifier-noauth-403-6315.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** the **Auggie (Augment CLI)** executor no longer fails on Windows with `spawn EINVAL` ([#6304](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6304)) — the global-npm install exposes `auggie` as a `.cmd` shim, which Node's `child_process.spawn` cannot launch on win32 without `shell: true`. Both spawn sites (streaming + the `auggie --version` test) now go through a shared `buildAuggieSpawnOptions()` that sets `shell: process.platform === "win32"`; the argv (built by `buildAuggieArgs()` with a registry-validated `model` and a trailing `--` end-of-options marker) is unchanged, so the argument-injection surface stays closed on non-Windows. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auggie-win32-spawn-6304.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** the dashboard **"Test model"** action is now a clean connection test ([#6240](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6240)) — `modelTestRunner` sent its probe request without an explicit compression override, so whenever the operator's global `compression.enabled` flag was on the test call inherited compression (and any Output-Styles system prompt), polluting the result. The internal test requests now send `X-OmniRoute-Compression: off`, and `chatCore` honors an explicit `off` header even when `compression.enabled` is globally true. Regression guards: `tests/unit/model-test-runner-compression-off-6240.test.ts`, `tests/integration/test-model-compression-off-6240.test.ts`.
+- **fix(startup):** an update/restart could crash the whole server at boot with `TypeError: Cannot create property 'message' on string 'Database closed'`, masking the real failure and 500-ing every request until manually restarted ([#6560](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6560), plausibly the root cause of #6594's post-upgrade 500) — `driverFactory.ts::preInitSqlJs()` cached its sql.js WASM adapter per file path in a `globalThis`-backed map for idempotency, but never checked whether the cached adapter had since been closed (e.g. by `gracefulShutdown`/`resetDbInstance` racing a reload); reusing that dead handle made the very next query throw sql.js's own bare string `"Database closed"` (not an `Error`) straight out of `instrumentation-node.ts`'s previously-unguarded `ensureDbInitialized()` call, and Next.js's internal `registerInstrumentation()` wrapper unconditionally does `err.message = ...` on whatever `register()` rejects with — assigning `.message` on a primitive string throws in strict mode, so the secondary `TypeError` is what actually crashed the process. Fixed in two parts: `preInitSqlJs()` now evicts a closed cached adapter and creates a fresh one instead of returning it; a new `ensureDbReadyForBoot()` wraps the DB-init call, normalizes any non-Error throw via `normalizeBootError()`, and retries once specifically for a transient "database closed" message (now succeeding against the fresh adapter) before re-throwing anything else as a real `Error`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/instrumentation-database-closed-6560.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/keys` no longer hangs 20–90+ seconds on a fresh install, even with valid auth ([#6570](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6570)) — `cloudEnabled` defaults to `true` in `src/lib/db/settings.ts::getSettings()` on any install with no persisted settings row (i.e. every fresh install), so the create-key handler's unconditional `await syncKeysToCloudIfEnabled()` always attempted a real outbound `fetch()` to `CLOUD_URL` via `syncToCloud()`; when that endpoint is unset/unreachable/slow, the HTTP response blocked until the request settled or timed out — unlike sibling routes (`POST /api/keys/:id/regenerate`, `GET /api/combos`), which never touch this side effect at all. `src/app/api/keys/route.ts` now dispatches `syncKeysToCloudIfEnabled()` fire-and-forget (`void`) instead of awaiting it; its internal try/catch already logs failures, so cloud sync still runs, it just no longer blocks the response. Regression guard: `tests/unit/api-keys-create-no-hang-6570.test.ts` (asserts the route resolves in well under 2s even when the Cloud-sync `fetch()` is stubbed to never settle) + updated `tests/integration/api-keys.test.ts` (the pre-existing "triggers cloud sync"/"still succeeds when cloud sync fails" tests, which previously hung indefinitely on this exact path, now await the fire-and-forget sync tick before asserting).
+- **fix(api):** editing any existing OpenAI Codex provider connection in the dashboard returned "Invalid request" and the edit could never be saved ([#6562](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6562)) — `createProviderConnection()` (`src/lib/db/providers.ts`) auto-increments a new connection's `priority` to `MAX(priority)+1` per provider with no upper bound, and OAuth-imported connections (Codex `codex-auth/import` / `import-bulk`, up to 50 accounts per call, callable repeatedly — the standard Codex bulk-account-rotation workflow) never pass through `createProviderSchema`'s Zod validation at all, so nothing ever capped that value; `EditConnectionModal`'s `handleSubmit` always resends the connection's current `priority` unchanged on every save, and `updateProviderConnectionSchema` capped `priority`/`globalPriority` at `max(100)` — a UI-only ceiling the create path never enforced — so the first edit of any connection whose priority had already grown past 100 (routine once a Codex account count exceeds 100) failed validation regardless of which field the user actually changed. Raised the ceiling to `max(100_000)` on both fields — still bounded (a genuinely out-of-range value is still rejected), just wide enough to accept priorities the app itself already produces. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-connection-edit-6562.test.ts` (a Codex OAuth connection whose priority already exceeds the old 100 cap now validates + persists on edit; a control payload with a still-genuinely-invalid priority is still rejected with "Invalid request").
+- **mimocode**: rotate accounts on MiMoCode's rate-limit-style 400s (body-classified) instead of failing on the first account; malformed 400s still fail fast with the real upstream error (#6648 — thanks @pizzav-xyz)
+- **fix(cli):** compression CLI REST fallback now reads/writes the canonical `defaultMode` field (surfaced as `strategy`) instead of a nonexistent `engine` key, and table output renders nested objects as JSON instead of `[object Object]` (#6571 — thanks @charleszolot)
+- **fix(providers):** web-cookie providers without a `providerRegistry.ts` entry (`lmarena`, `gemini-business`, `poe-web`, `venice-web`, `v0-vercel-web`) now report `unsupported: true` instead of silently "OK" ([#6309](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6309)) — `validateWebCookieProvider()` (`src/lib/providers/validation.ts`) previously required a registry entry and returned "Provider not found in registry" for these; a fallback to `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS[provider].website` was proposed, but live verification showed the `${website}/models` probe does not reliably signal session validity for these providers (redirects/SPA 200s regardless of cookie validity — e.g. lmarena's real API is `arena.ai`, not `lmarena.ai`; Poe's real endpoint is a GraphQL POST, not a REST `/models`), so it would report an expired or garbage cookie as valid. Until each provider has a verified, side-effect-free auth probe against its real API host, the fallback now returns `unsupported` (no network call) instead of a false positive. Regression guard: `tests/unit/web-cookie-validation-fallback.test.ts`. (thanks @oyi77)
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/middleware/hooks` and `PUT /api/middleware/hooks/[name]` no longer leak raw internal error messages in their 500 responses (#6645 — thanks @chirag127) — both catch blocks returned `error?.message` directly (Hard Rule #12), which could surface internal SQLite path fragments on a DB failure; both now route through `sanitizeErrorMessage()` from `open-sse/utils/error.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/middleware-hooks-error-sanitization.test.ts`.
+- **fix(docker):** compile better-sqlite3 for the server Docker image (Dokploy/self-hosted builds) via a direct `node-gyp rebuild` inside `node_modules/better-sqlite3`, instead of `npm rebuild better-sqlite3` ([#6700](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6700)) — the `builder` stage installs dependencies with `npm ci --ignore-scripts` (deliberate: closes the supply-chain surface where a transitive dep's install script runs arbitrary code) and re-enables the native build for the one package that needs it; `npm rebuild <pkg>` re-runs that indirectly through the package's own install script, which under npm 11 depends on npm's script-allowlist machinery correctly re-enabling it — some self-hosted build environments (e.g. Dokploy) hit a broken/mismatched native binding through that indirection. Invoking `node-gyp rebuild` directly bypasses npm's script-running layer entirely and is deterministic regardless of npm version. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dockerfile-better-sqlite3-node-gyp-6700.test.ts`. (thanks @nowhats-br)
+- **fix(providers):** the Cloudflare relay Worker deploy fix in #6416/#6618 still failed uploads in practice — it changed the multipart Content-Type but kept the emitted worker source as an ES module (`export default { fetch(...) }`) with `main_module` metadata; Cloudflare's Workers upload API parses a plain `application/javascript` script part as Service Worker syntax regardless of the `main_module` metadata field, and `main_module` requires the script to actually be an ES module (top-level `export`), so the mismatch still rejected the upload ([#6496](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6496)). `buildCloudflareWorkerScript()` (`src/lib/proxyRelay/cloudflareWorkerScript.ts`) now emits Service Worker syntax (`addEventListener("fetch", ...)`, no top-level `export`) and the upload metadata uses `body_part` instead of `main_module`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/relay-deploy-5128.test.ts` (asserts the emitted script has no `export default`, registers a `fetch` listener, and the upload metadata carries `body_part`/omits `main_module`; also proves the inlined `isPrivateHostname()` SSRF guard still rejects bracketed IPv6 loopback/ULA hosts like `[::1]`/`[fd00::1]` after the script-body rewrite). (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **fix(providers):** ChatGPT Web (`chatgpt-web`) responses rendered raw ChatGPT UI citation markup — private-use marker tokens (e.g. `citeturn0search0`) and `url…` inline-link markers — instead of real Markdown links, since these only ever get resolved client-side by chatgpt.com's own JS using `message.metadata.content_references` ([#6635](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6635)) — `cleanChatGptText()` now resolves `content_references` (grouped webpages, footnote sources, inline `webpage`/`url` mentions) into `[label](url)` Markdown links for both the streaming and non-streaming response builders, and for the GPT-5.5 Pro `stream_handoff` polled-answer path, falling back to stripping any marker that has no resolvable source instead of leaking the raw private-use bytes. The citation parsing/rendering logic was extracted into a new pure sibling module (`open-sse/executors/chatgpt-web/citations.ts`) to keep the executor under the frozen file-size cap. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chatgpt-web-citations.test.ts` (non-streaming citation resolution, streaming marker buffering across split SSE chunks, and the Pro-handoff polled-answer path). (thanks @Thinkscape)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the live-dashboard WebSocket descriptor handshake (`GET /api/v1/ws?handshake=1`) and the lightweight `GET /api/health/ping` liveness probe both 401'd for unauthenticated callers, even though both are metadata-only reads intended to be public ([#6335](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6335)) — `clientApiPolicy` required a bearer/dashboard-session before the WS route handler could even return its own `wsAuth`/protocol descriptor, and `/api/health/ping` was never added to `PUBLIC_READONLY_API_ROUTE_PREFIXES` despite its own docstring documenting it as "No auth required." `clientApiPolicy.evaluate()` now allows an anonymous `{kind:"anonymous", id:"ws-handshake"}` subject for GET/HEAD/OPTIONS on `/api/v1/ws?handshake=1` (the route handler still performs its own real wsAuth/dashboard/API-key decision before opening the socket), and `/api/health/ping` is now in `PUBLIC_READONLY_API_ROUTE_PREFIXES`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/authz/client-api-policy.test.ts` (WS handshake allowed, including relative request URLs), `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`, and `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts` (`/api/health/ping` classified `PUBLIC`). (thanks @JxnLexn)
+- fix(providers): wire the Devin cloud-agent provider into the generic provider-page validator and static model catalog, matching the existing `jules` cloud-agent pattern (#6142)

+- **fix(providers):** modernize the `lmarena` provider for the Arena.ai rebrand — route chat through `arena.ai` create-evaluation with Chrome TLS impersonation, seed a static Direct-chat Text/Search + Image catalog, and keep the `lmarena`/`lma` wire id for back-compat ([#6280](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6280)) — thanks @backryun
+- **fix(providers):** web-provider model discovery updated — qwen-web uses the slash-terminated models endpoint (avoiding a blocked 307 redirect), and kimi-web matches the current request shape (POST with bearer + `kimi-auth` cookie replay) with its catalog refreshed to the current non-agent models (#6308 — thanks @janeza2).

+- **fix(routing):** the `auto` combo's no-auth candidate pool now honors a disabled provider connection's own `isActive=false` (the toggle on the main Providers grid card), not just the separate global `blockedProviders` setting — disabling opencode/mimocode/etc. via the grid toggle no longer leaves it in rotation ([#6557](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6557)).
+- **fix(sse):** server-tool literal names (e.g. `web_search`) are preserved in message history and `tool_choice` instead of being namespaced/rewritten, so follow-up turns referencing those tools keep working (#6586 — thanks @MikeTuev).

+- **fix(antigravity):** surface aborted/malformed Gemini tool calls (e.g. `MALFORMED_FUNCTION_CALL`) as an explicit non-`end_turn` finish reason instead of a silent clean completion. (thanks @anhdiepmmk)
+- **fix(routing):** the reasoning-token headroom buffer clamps to the model's explicit output cap instead of inflating past it, and `getExplicitModelOutputCap` falls through to the registry/spec cap when a synced capability row exists without a numeric `limit_output` ([#6714](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6714)) — thanks @xz-dev
+- **fix(api):** `omniroute health` (and `health components`/`health watch`) returned `Error: HTTP 404` ([#6677](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6677)) — `bin/cli/commands/health.mjs` called `apiFetch("/api/health", ...)`, a route that was moved to `GET /api/monitoring/health` (`src/app/api/monitoring/health/route.ts`) without updating the CLI; `src/app/api/health/` on disk only has `degradation/route.ts` and `ping/route.ts`, no top-level handler. `runHealthCommand()`/`runHealthComponentsCommand()` now call `/api/monitoring/health` and read its actual payload shape (`activeConnections`, `circuitBreakers: {open, halfOpen, closed}`, `memoryUsage`) instead of the old, nonexistent `requests`/`breakers`/`cache`/`memory` fields. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli-health-monitoring-route.test.ts`.
+- **fix(startup):** webpack build broke on case-insensitive filesystems (macOS APFS default, Windows) with a casing-collision warning plus "not exported" errors in `StudioConfigPane.tsx`/`ChatTab.tsx` (#6584) — `src/app/(dashboard)/dashboard/playground/components/ReasoningControls.tsx` (the component) and `reasoningControls.ts` (the utils module) shared the same lower-cased stem in the same directory, and two importers used the extensionless form `from "./reasoningControls"`, the exact resolution path that becomes ambiguous once casing is folded. Renamed the utils module to `reasoningControlUtils.ts` (no collision) and updated the 3 import sites. Regression guard: `tests/unit/case-collision-6584.test.ts` (scans `src/`/`open-sse/` for any same-directory, case-only filename collision). (#6584)
+- **fix(build):** Turbopack production build emitted an "Overly broad patterns can lead to build performance issues" warning per entry point importing `src/lib/agentSkills/generator.ts` (603 warnings reported on v3.8.46, up from 379 on v3.8.45) ([#6582](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6582)) — `generator.ts`'s `outputBase` is built as `path.isAbsolute(outputDir) ? outputDir : path.join(process.cwd(), outputDir)`, where `outputDir` is a runtime function parameter, not a compile-time literal, so Turbopack's build-time file-tracing analyzer can't statically narrow the several dynamic `readdirSync`/`rmSync`/`readFileSync`/`writeFileSync` call sites a few lines below and falls back to a project-wide glob; #6366's commit message claimed to "anchor the base path with a literal" but the shipped code never did. Since this fs access is legitimate and bounded (`skills/<id>/SKILL.md`, ~48 known IDs), `next.config.mjs`'s `turbopack.ignoreIssue` (Next.js 16.2+) now suppresses this specific, known-benign diagnostic, mirroring the existing `webpack.ignoreWarnings`/`isNextIntlExtractorDynamicImportWarning` precedent already in the same file for the webpack path. Regression guard: `tests/unit/next-config.test.ts` (asserts the `turbopack.ignoreIssue` rule shape targeting `src/lib/agentSkills/**`).
+- **fix(providers):** Codex Desktop requests to `gpt-5.3-codex-spark` failed with `[400]: Tool 'image_generation' is not supported with gpt-5.3-codex-spark`, even on paid-plan accounts ([#6651](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6651)) — `CodexExecutor.transformRequest` (`open-sse/executors/codex.ts`) only dropped the Codex Desktop-injected `image_generation` hosted tool when `isCodexFreePlan()` matched the account's plan, with no awareness that Spark-scope Codex models reject `image_generation` upstream regardless of plan. `dropImageGeneration` now also drops it when `getCodexModelScope(model) === "spark"` (the existing Spark classifier from `open-sse/config/codexQuotaScopes.ts`), independent of account plan. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-spark-image-generation.test.ts` (thanks @alltomatos for independently catching and fixing it via #6819).
+- **fix(providers):** the provider quota card's weekly/session bars re-sorted by remaining percentage instead of staying in a fixed, deterministic order ([#6687](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6687)) — `QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`'s `sortQuotasByRemaining()` (added in #5977) was applied unconditionally via `useMemo(() => sortQuotasByRemaining(quotas), [quotas])`, undoing the deterministic `CODEX_QUOTA_ORDER`/`GLM_QUOTA_ORDER` window order `quotaParsing.ts`'s `sortCodexOrder()`/`sortGlmOrder()` (added in #6336) already established for Codex and the GLM family — since #6336 never touched `QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`, the two orderings never composed, so e.g. a Codex `session` window with less headroom than `weekly` rendered after it instead of staying first. A new `hasFixedQuotaOrder()` (`quotaParsing.ts`) and `resolveQuotaDisplayOrder()` (`QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`) now skip the remaining-% re-sort for providers with a fixed window order, threading `providerId` from `QuotaCard.tsx` through to the display layer; every other provider still gets the remaining-% sort. Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-card-expanded-fixed-order-6687.test.ts`.
+- **fix(i18n):** pt-BR was missing 194 UI keys present in `en.json` — a real, silent data-sync gap, not covered by any duplicate/mislabeled #6694 (that issue's 9 `providers.*` keys are disjoint, present-but-untranslated sentinels caused by a separate `providerText()` fallback bug) ([#6695](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6695)) — `scripts/i18n/sync-ui-keys.mjs` (which mirrors newly-added `en.json` keys into every locale) wasn't re-run after recent `en.json` additions, and the CI `i18n:check-ui-coverage` gate only fails a locale below an 80% threshold, so pt-BR stayed green at 93.8% coverage despite the gap. Backfilled all 194 missing keys into `src/i18n/messages/pt-BR.json` (translated to Brazilian Portuguese, no leftover `__MISSING__` markers) via `npm run i18n:sync-ui -- --locale=pt-BR` + manual translation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-pt-br.test.ts` (new case asserting full `en.json`→`pt-BR.json` key parity, so a future drift fails a fast unit test instead of silently degrading the coverage percentage).
+- **fix(startup):** `omniroute --mcp` crashed at Node ESM link time with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND` for `ioredis` on installs where the published MCP bundle didn't happen to have `ioredis` rescued from a parent `node_modules` ([#6559](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6559)) — `src/shared/utils/rateLimiter.ts` had a top-level static `import Redis from "ioredis"`; that module is only ever reached via a lazy `await import(...)` several call-sites deep in the MCP tool chain, but esbuild's `--packages=external` bundling of the MCP server (`scripts/build/prepublish.ts` Step 8.5) still hoisted rateLimiter.ts's own static import into a real top-level ESM import in the compiled `dist/open-sse/mcp-server/server.js`, forcing Node to resolve `ioredis` at module-link time — before any `--mcp` startup code runs — and `ioredis` is not guaranteed to ship in the MCP-only bundle's `node_modules`. `getRedisClient()` now lazily imports `ioredis` on first use (matching the established soft-dependency pattern in `src/lib/quota/redisQuotaStore.ts`) while still throwing synchronously when Redis isn't configured. Regression guard: `tests/unit/build/mcp-bundle-no-eager-ioredis.test.ts` (bundles the real MCP server entrypoint with the exact publish-time esbuild flags and asserts no top-level static `ioredis` import remains, while the pre-existing lazy `await import("ioredis")` in `redisQuotaStore.ts` stays intact).
+- **fix(providers):** Kiro sent the adaptive-thinking `additionalModelRequestFields` envelope for `claude-sonnet-4.5`/`claude-haiku-4.5`, which Kiro/CodeWhisperer rejects upstream with a raw `[400]: additionalModelRequestFields is not supported for this model` ([#6576](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6576)) — `buildKiroPayload()` (`open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-kiro.ts`) gated the field on the generic Anthropic-API `supportsReasoning()` capability flag, which is `true` for both models on Anthropic's direct API but does not reflect what Kiro's CodeWhisperer backend actually accepts; only `claude-sonnet-5` is confirmed adaptive-thinking-capable there. A new Kiro-specific allowlist (`supportsKiroAdaptiveThinking()` in `open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-kiro/adaptiveThinking.ts`) now gates the envelope instead. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6576-kiro-thinking-unsupported-model.test.ts`.
+- **fix(translator):** Cursor's local **Subagent** tool call is no longer rejected with `cloud_base_branch may only be specified when environment equals cloud` — the Responses→Chat tool-arg cleanup (`stripEmptyOptionalToolArgs`) was scoped to Claude Code's `Read` tool only, so Cursor's `Subagent` tool passed through with the cloud-only `cloud_base_branch: ""` (Cursor treats an empty string as "specified" and rejects the call before starting the local subagent). The cleanup now covers an allowlist of `Read` + `Subagent`; arbitrary tools are still left untouched (empty strings/arrays can be valid payloads for them). Regression guard: `tests/unit/openai-responses-subagent-strip-2446.test.ts`. (thanks @like3213934360-lab)
+- **fix(translator):** GLM 5.2 (and other OpenAI-compatible upstreams that stream a tool call's `id` and `function.name` in **separate** SSE chunks) no longer produce an empty tool name / `No such tool available:` error through the Claude `/messages` path — the `openai-to-claude` streaming translator emitted `content_block_start` immediately on the id-only chunk with an empty `name`, and the Claude SSE protocol cannot patch a block after it is emitted, so the later name-only chunk was silently dropped. It now **defers** `content_block_start` until the tool name arrives (falling back to starting the block when arguments arrive first), so the emitted `tool_use` always carries the real name. Regression guard: `tests/unit/openai-to-claude-glm-split-tool-name-2077.test.ts`. (thanks @itiwant)
+- **fix(resilience):** OmniRoute didn't respect an exhausted Ollama Cloud (or any other apikey-category provider) quota — it retried the account seconds later instead of waiting out the real reset window ([#6638](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6638)) — `shouldPreserveQuotaSignalsFor429()`/`checkFallbackError()` (`open-sse/services/accountFallback.ts`) only applied body-text quota classification (daily/monthly/weekly quota-exhausted detection) to OAuth-category providers; apikey-category 429s (Ollama Cloud, OpenAI, etc.) always fell through to the generic short rate-limit cooldown regardless of what the error body said, and `parseRetryFromErrorText()` also had no support for day-granularity reset hints ("Your quota will reset in 3 days.") — only Xh/Ym/Zs combos. An explicit quota-exhausted signal in the body (`looksLikeQuotaExhausted()`) now overrides the apikey-category default via the new `shouldPreserveQuotaSignals()` (`open-sse/services/quotaResetParsing.ts`), and `parseDayGranularityResetMs()` parses whole-day reset countdowns so the real multi-day window is honored instead of a few seconds of backoff. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6638-ollama-quota.test.ts` + 2 aligned `tests/unit/account-fallback-service.test.ts` cases that previously asserted the buggy rate_limit_exceeded/undefined-dailyQuotaExhausted behavior for apikey-provider quota text.
+- **fix(resilience):** a combo step "pinned" to one fingerprint account (mimocode/mcode/opencode multi-account providers) never actually resolved to that account, so it couldn't fail over when the pinned account was depleted ([#6696](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6696), relates #6612) — the combo builder UI encodes an account pin as a composite connectionId (`${rowId}|fp|${fingerprint}`, `src/lib/combos/builderOptions.ts`), but `expandTargetsByFingerprints()` (`open-sse/services/combo/fingerprintExpansion.ts`) looked that composite string up directly in `connectionById` (keyed by real DB row ids), got `undefined`, and passed the target through unchanged, still carrying the bogus composite id — so downstream credential resolution could never match it either. `expandTargetsByFingerprints()` now splits the `|fp|` composite id back into the real connection row id + the pinned fingerprint (new `splitFingerprintPin()` helper) before any lookup, resolving the target to the real connectionId (with the pinned fingerprint carried on the new `pinnedFingerprint` field) instead of the inert composite string. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-fingerprint-pin-6696.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** Responses passthrough emitted event-only SSE frames (no `data:` line) for every dropped commentary event, breaking the OpenAI Python SDK's `sse.json()` parser ([#6561](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6561)), follow-up to #6199/#6232 — the commentary-drop `continue;` branches in `open-sse/utils/stream.ts` skipped the `data:` line for a dropped commentary event but never cleared the already-buffered `event:` line for that same frame, so the next blank line flushed the stale `event:` line alone. Both drop sites now call `clearPendingPassthroughEvent()` before `continue`, discarding the buffered prefix along with the dropped payload; the commentary-drop decision itself was extracted into a new `open-sse/utils/responsesCommentaryDrop.ts` so the fix does not grow the frozen `stream.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/responses-commentary-event-frame-6561.test.ts` (realistic `event:\ndata:\n\n` frames — the existing #6199 test only used bare `data:` lines and never exercised this path).
+- **fix(compression):** `/api/compression/preview`'s top-level `originalTokens`/`compressedTokens` diverged from `engineBreakdown[0]`'s counts for the same single-engine run (tiktoken outer counts vs the `JSON.stringify(...).length/4` estimate per engine), worst on small inputs. A new `reconcileSingleEngineTokens()` overwrites the single-engine breakdown entry with the outer, more accurate figures; multi-step pipeline breakdowns are left untouched ([#6488](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6488)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression/preview-outer-engine-token-reconcile-6488.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** account selection could pick an account already out of quota upstream on every credentialed route except `chat`/`codex` ([#6686](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6686)) — `getProviderCredentials()` (`src/sse/services/auth.ts`) only skips a connection when a *local cache* already flags it exhausted (`isQuotaExhaustedForRequest`/`src/domain/quotaCache.ts`); it never itself calls the registered upstream `QuotaFetcher`. Only `getProviderCredentialsWithQuotaPreflight()` performs that live upstream check, and it was wired into exactly 2 call sites (`src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, `src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts`) — every other credentialed route (`rerank`, `images/generations`, `images/edits`, `audio/transcriptions|speech|translations`, `videos/generations`, `music/generations`, `ocr`, `providers/[provider]/embeddings`, `providers/[provider]/images/generations`, `web/fetch`, `moderations`, `search`) called the plain, cache-only selector, so an account whose cache entry was never populated (e.g. its first request landed on one of these routes) could be selected even at 0% quota remaining. Those 14 call sites now go through `getProviderCredentialsWithQuotaPreflight()` instead, matching chat/codex coverage. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6686-quota-preflight-coverage.test.ts` (static check that none of the routes call the plain selector anymore + a behavioral check that the preflight-aware selector blocks a 100%-used account).
+- **fix(api):** `reasoning_content` (extended-thinking text) was silently dropped from `/v1/chat/completions` SSE on the `claude-web` and `v0-vercel-web` executors ([#6662](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6662)) — every chunk builder in both adapters hardcoded `delta: { content: ... }` with no reasoning path, unlike the established pattern already used by `default.ts`/`deepseek-web.ts`/`bedrock.ts` and the real-Anthropic-API `claude-to-openai.ts` translator (`thinking_delta` → `reasoning_content`). `v0-vercel-web.ts` now forwards an upstream `delta.reasoning_content` field (streaming and non-streaming) the same way `deepseek-web.ts` does. `claude-web.ts`'s `buildClaudeStreamingResponse` now maps a `content_block_start`(`type: "thinking"`)/`content_block_delta`(`delta.thinking`) pair onto `delta.reasoning_content`, and `claude-web/payload.ts`'s `transformToClaude()` no longer hardcodes `thinking_mode: "off"` — a new `wantsExtendedThinking()` derives it from the request's `reasoning_effort`/`reasoning.effort`/`thinking.type` signal, so extended thinking can actually be requested. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6662-repro.test.ts` (RED→GREEN for both adapters).
+- **fix(api):** the compression config PUT schema now accepts `enableRenderers` for the RTK engine instead of rejecting the documented option (#6703, #6757 — thanks @alltomatos, with an independent duplicate fix from @chirag127 via #6756).
+- **fix(api):** raised the provider `apiKey` length cap for cookie-based web providers, whose session-cookie credentials legitimately exceed the previous limit (#6715, #6759 — thanks @alltomatos).
+- fix(ci): publish electron-updater `latest*.yml` manifests in electron release assets so auto-update can find them ([#6766](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6766))
+- **fix(i18n): translate hardcoded Portuguese dashboard strings to English (#6761, #6768)** (#6769 — thanks @chirag127).
+- fix(providers): strip redundant node prefix when resolving custom OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible connections by raw connection id, preventing double-namespaced model ids from 400ing upstream (#6772)
+- fix(providers): scope nvidia NIM 404s to the single failing model instead of cooling down the whole connection (#6773)
+- **fix(codex):** bump the default Codex CLI client identity from `0.142.0` to `0.144.0` for compatibility with newer Codex-backed models ([#6780](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6780)) — thanks @quanturbo
+- **fix(ci):** the blocking "Impacted unit tests (TIA)" step false-redded any PR whose impact graph reached a dashboard component — it ran every selected test under `--import tsx/esm`, but `tests/unit/dashboard/**` requires the `--import tsx` CJS transform (ESM-only deep imports like `@lobehub/icons/es/*`), exactly as the canonical `test:unit:ci:shard` already does per segment. The impacted selection is now split by segment with matching loaders (closes #6787).
+- **fix(translator):** read PDF/video `file_data` attachments on the OpenAI→Gemini/Antigravity and OpenAI→Claude paths so multimodal documents (not just images) reach the upstream — PDFs map to `document`/`inlineData` and videos keep their `video/mp4` mime instead of being dropped (#6790 — thanks @Witroch4, with an independent report/fix from @samimozcan via #6762/#6753).
+- **fix(providers): ensure DeepSeek Web SSE emits [DONE] after FINISHED** (#6791 — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch).
+- **fix(api):** the compression config `PUT` schema (`stackedPipelineStepSchema`) now accepts every `ENGINE_CATALOG` id — the structural engines `session-dedup`/`ccr`/`headroom`/`relevance`/`llmlingua`/`omniglyph` and the `aggressive` `ultra` intensity — so a `GET`→`PUT` round-trip of a stacked pipeline no longer 400s on a valid engine the discriminated union had omitted (#6747 — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch).
+- **fix(cursor):** send the Agent CLI build id as `x-cursor-client-version` so Cursor upstream accepts requests from the current CLI build instead of a stale hardcoded version (#6795 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- fix(cli): waitForServer() no longer reports ready from a raw TCP accept alone — requires a fast HTTP rejection or a real health response, so the "OmniRoute is running!" banner no longer fires 30-60s before the server can actually answer requests (#6800)
+- fix(sse): de-flake timing-sensitive combo cooldown/breaker tests + add explicit MCP audit shutdown timeout (#6803)
+- **fix(codex): strip include from compact responses requests** (#6805 — thanks @yinaoxiong).
+- fix(dashboard): surface Claude extraUsage credits in quota card when quotas is empty (#6806)
+- **Request count by provider & date**: Dashboard → Analytics now shows a dedicated table of request counts grouped by provider and calendar date (plus token totals), for providers that bill per-request rather than per-token — sortable columns and a single-date filter. New `getProviderDailyUsageRows()` query (`src/lib/db/usageAnalytics.ts`) and its own `GET /api/usage/requests-by-provider-date` route (kept separate from the frozen `/api/usage/analytics` route). Regression guard: `tests/unit/db-provider-daily-usage-4009.test.ts`. (#4009 — thanks @tjengbudi)
+- **fix(resilience):** an Ollama Cloud (or any apikey-category provider) account that hit a weekly usage cap kept getting retried every few minutes instead of backing off ([#3709](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3709)) — the upstream 429 body ("you (\<account\>) have reached your weekly usage limit") was invisible to `checkFallbackError`'s existing subscription-quota-text classifier (Issue #2321) because that branch is gated by `shouldUseQuotaSignal`, which is oauth-only, so apikey providers like `ollama-cloud` fell through to the generic exponential backoff (~1s, capped at 2min) — one account took 285x429 in 48h. A new `isWeeklyUsageLimitText`/`buildWeeklyQuotaFallback` classifier (extracted, with the existing subscription-quota logic, into a new `open-sse/services/quotaTextCooldowns.ts` module so the frozen `accountFallback.ts` didn't have to grow) runs unconditionally and applies a 24h `QUOTA_EXHAUSTED` cooldown regardless of provider category. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ollama-cloud-weekly-quota-cooldown-3709.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** an explicit `thinking.budget_tokens: 0` is now honored in the OpenAI→Gemini transform (thinking disabled) instead of being treated as unset (#6813, #6821 — thanks @alltomatos).
+- **fix(bootstrap):** filter empty `process.env` values before spawning embedded services so a blank env var no longer crashes the Docker bootstrap in a restart loop (#6828 — thanks @AndrianBalanescu).
+- **fix(providers):** classify upstream `404` responses as `MODEL_NOT_FOUND` (model lockout) instead of a retryable provider error, stopping the retry storm when a single model is missing (#6829 — thanks @AndrianBalanescu).
+- fix(mcp): de-duplicate `TOTAL_MCP_TOOL_COUNT` by tool name instead of double-counting collections (#6854)
+- **fix(usage):** xAI's exact provider-reported `cost_in_usd_ticks` no longer silently accepts `null`/`""`/negative values as a valid `$0` exact cost — `extractUsageFromResponse()` (`open-sse/handlers/usageExtractor.ts`) and `normalizeUsage()` (`open-sse/utils/usageTracking.ts`) now require `typeof value === "number" && Number.isFinite(value) && value >= 0` instead of coercing with `Number(x)`, so a malformed exact cost correctly falls back to the token-based estimate instead of masking it with a bogus `$0`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/xai-exact-cost-2453.test.ts` (rejects null/empty/negative exact costs on both call sites). ([#6856](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6856) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(plugin):** the `@omniroute/opencode-plugin` dynamic provider hook stopped embedding its OC-1.17.8+-gate-compatible `opencode-`-prefixed provider id into model routing fields (`ModelV2.id`/`providerID`, combo catalog keys) — OmniRoute's server has no `opencode-<x>` provider alias, so every dispatched model failed credential lookup with "No credentials for opencode-omniroute" (#6859).
+- fix(sse): apply cliproxyapiModelMapping at CLIProxyAPI dispatch time (#6876)
+- fix(sse): defer `response.completed` until a trailing usage-only chunk arrives on `/v1/responses` streams (#6906)
+- **fix(cli):** ship `head-response-guard.cjs` into the standalone bundle — `server-ws.mjs` imported it without a matching `EXTRA_MODULE_ENTRIES` entry, so every `build:release` dist crashed at boot with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND`; a new regression test derives the required sidecars from `server-ws.mjs` imports (#6908)
+- fix(sse): wire the shared quota-fetch throttle into DeepSeek, Bailian, OpenCode, and Crof quota fetchers, not just Codex (#6911)
+- fix(sse): rename client-sent `max_completion_tokens` to `max_tokens` for providers/models that only accept the legacy field (e.g. Volcengine Ark / DeepSeek), mirroring the existing reverse rename from #1961 (#6912)
+- fix(sse): set includeServerSideToolInvocations on Antigravity tool cloak decoys (#6914)
+- fix(sse): classify LAN embeddings providers (10/8, 192.168/16, CGNAT) as no-auth instead of forcing bearer auth (#6925)
+- fix(sse): Qwen Web executor no longer sends `[object Object]` when a message uses structured (array) content — the text parts are now flattened (#6927)
+- perf(api): relay chat-completions routes now thread the already-fetched `RelayToken` into `checkRateLimit`, skipping a redundant `SELECT * FROM relay_tokens WHERE id = ?` re-query on every request (#6930)
+- fix(sse): `normalizeCodexMessageContentPart` now rewrites explicit `type: "input_text"` (not just `type: "text"`) to `output_text` on assistant-role Codex Responses input parts, so replayed assistant history sent by codex-cli as `input_text` is no longer rejected by the Codex/OpenAI backend (#6932)
+- fix(sse): omit removed `attachments` field from Muse Spark Web (Meta AI) persisted GraphQL query to fix `Unknown type "AttachmentInput"` 502s (#6935)
+- fix(dashboard): label audio/embeddings/image compatible providers by kind instead of "Chat" on ProviderCard (#6936)
+- fix(api): model-list discovery for LAN-local OpenAI-compatible providers (e.g. LM Studio) now uses the same local-first SSRF guard as the connection test, instead of the stricter guard that always blocked LAN hosts (#6939)
+- fix(providers): `openai->gemini` transform now maps `reasoning_effort: "none"` to `thinkingConfig.thinkingBudget: 0` (with `includeThoughts: false`), giving callers an explicit, documented off-switch for Gemini thinking; the no-knob-at-all default injection (#4170) is unchanged (#6813, thanks @rafaumeu)
+- **fix(sse):** escape backslash before brackets in ChatGPT-web citation link text, preventing a citation label containing `\` from corrupting the generated Markdown link ([#6944](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6944)) — thanks @brick30llc-ctrl
+- fix(oauth): tokenHealthCheck now lowercase-normalizes `conn.provider` before checking `ROTATING_REFRESH_PROVIDERS.has()` and the GitHub Copilot sub-token refresh guard, so mixed-case provider values (e.g. "OpenAI", "Github") no longer bypass the rotating-refresh-token skip or the Copilot sub-token refresh (#6947)
+- fix(sse): make Codex Responses tool-arg normalization schema-aware — drop values equal to the tool's declared JSON Schema `default`, generalize empty-optional stripping to any tool (not just `Read`/`Subagent`) via `schema.required`, and thread each tool's schema from the request's `tools[]` into the streaming response translator (#6951)
+- fix(sse): drop internal commentary-phase Responses output in TRANSLATE-mode streams, not just PASSTHROUGH — codex/Responses-upstream routes translated into another client format (e.g. Claude Code) no longer leak duplicate prose and narrated tool-call arguments into the client text channel (#6952)
+- **fix(combos):** embeddings-only and rerank-only models (e.g. JinaAI, Gemini auto-imported, OpenRouter custom, reranker models) no longer disappear from the combo builder's model picker — the leftover chat-only `isChatCapable` gate in `addModelOption()` has been removed (#6975).
+- **fix(combos):** when 2+ distinct model ids from the same provider would render an identical display name in the combo builder picker (e.g. Mistral's `codestral-latest`/`codestral-2508` aliases sharing one upstream catalog name), each colliding entry now falls back to its own id as the display label so every row stays visually distinguishable and findable (#6957).

+- **chore(release-captain):** v3.8.47 pre-flight closed every deterministic release-tip base-red ([#6967](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6967)): restored the `no-explicit-any` severity silently downgraded by #6786 (439 bulk suppressions had stopped matching), made the openadapter live-catalog test deterministic (`test.after()` was tearing the DB down mid-request), aligned the emergency-fallback and Cloud Code Gemini tests with the #6912/#6943 contracts, backfilled the #6909 i18n keys (en + pt-BR), re-exported `relayProbeStats` (db-rules), documented `OMNI_MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS`, and allowlisted migration gap 121. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **chore(security):** unbiased crypto digits for the doubao synthetic device id (CodeQL `js/biased-cryptographic-random`); 405 method-first for `/api/keys/{id}/devices` (dast-smoke); Zod-validation for `POST /api/github-skills`; the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry + catalog count alignment. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **chore(quality):** cycle-close ratchet work — cleared the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors and made `validate-release-green` suppressions-aware; cleared the 2 remaining heavy-gate reds on the release tip; cycle rebaselines (cognitive/file-size/zizmor/coverage pcts) with justification keys. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **chore(open-sse):** removed the vestigial `// @ts-nocheck` directive from `open-sse/utils/usageTracking.ts` ([#6173](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6173)) — `tsc` under the standard `typecheck:core` gate reports 0 errors for this 595-line hot-path file (executed for every provider response), so the suppression was no longer needed; removing it restores type-checking on the token-usage extraction/normalization path. (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **chore(cli):** the shell-completion cache paths (`readCache`/`refreshCache`/`writeCache`) in `bin/cli/commands/completion.mjs` no longer swallow errors into a bare `catch {}` ([#6257](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6257)) — each now binds the error and, when the new `OMNIROUTE_DEBUG_COMPLETION` env var is set, emits a `[omniroute completion]` diagnostic to `stderr`; the caches still fail silently by default so a missing/corrupt cache never breaks tab-completion. (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **chore(quality):** `validate-release-green --full-ci` reproduces the full `ci.yml` static gate set locally — the pre-flight now reads `ci.yml` itself and runs every `npm run check:*` from the `lint` / `quality-gate` / `quality-extended` / `docs-sync-strict` / `pr-test-policy` jobs (`--` ratchet flags preserved, `test-masking` against `GITHUB_BASE_REF=main`), skipping only the non-local `pr-evidence`/`codeql-ratchet`. Closes the gap where 11 static base-reds leaked to the v3.8.46 release PR in ~2h of layered CI. Also wired into `nightly-release-green` so a static base-red opens a tracking issue the night it lands. Regression guard: `tests/unit/validate-release-green.test.ts` (+5 `extractCiGates` cases).
+- **refactor(usage):** `saveRequestUsage(entry: any)` is now typed with a new `UsageEntry` interface mirroring the `usage_history` columns 1:1 (#3512) — the other stray `any`s in `src/lib/usage/usageHistory.ts` (`getUsageHistory` filter, the `getUsageDb` next-cursor cast, `appendRequestLog`'s legacy `tokens` param, `getRecentLogs`'s catch) were cleaned in the same pass, so the file now sits in the `check:any-budget:t11` zero-`any` allowlist. The DB-entity ↔ TS-interface convention is documented in `docs/architecture/CODEBASE_DOCUMENTATION.md` §11.
+- **Merge-train script** (`scripts/release/merge-train.sh`): batch-validates N queued PRs as ONE merged result on the runner box — merges every queued PR into a throwaway worktree cut from the release tip, runs the fast-gates parity suite once, and prints the `--admin` evidence block per PR (merge-gates §7). Replaces O(N²) per-PR CI re-runs in merge-storms. Regression guard: `tests/unit/merge-train-plan.test.ts`.
+- **release:** `list-uncovered-commits.mjs` now unions the CHANGELOG scan window with `changelog.d/` fragment refs (filename `<PR>-` prefix + every `#N` in the body), so a commit covered only by a fragment is no longer reported as an uncovered reconciliation gap ([#6857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6857) via [#6878](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6878))
+- chore(quality): restore no-explicit-any severity to error (silently downgraded by #6786, broke 439 bulk suppressions), fix 2 unsuppressed anys in repro-6912 test, allowlist migration gap 121, freeze-bump stream.ts/ProxyRegistryManager/tokenHealthCheck (combined-merge drift)
+- chore(base): pt-BR/en i18n keys for #6909 relay-repair/free-pool UI + align Cloud Code Gemini defaults test with the #6943 non-thinking-model contract
+- chore(base): re-export relayProbeStats from localDb (db-rules gate, #6909 follow-up) and document OMNI_MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS in .env.example/ENVIRONMENT.md (env-doc gate, #6590 follow-up)
+- **ci:** unit fast-path sharding doubled 2→4 (halves the heaviest job's wall time) (#6781); the 3 heaviest fast-path jobs can route to the self-hosted VPS runner pool behind `USE_VPS_RUNNER` (#6691); `VPS_ALWAYS_ON` keeps the dedicated 24/7 CI host up across releases (teardown becomes a no-op) (#6693).
+- **docs:** routing-strategy count reconciled to 18 across AUTO-COMBO.md, README and AGENTS.md, and `p2c` casing fixed to match `ROUTING_STRATEGY_VALUES` (#6643, #6644, #6646 — thanks @chirag127); CLAUDE.md updated with the renamed review/triage/implement skill-family names (#6663).
+- chore(release): v3.8.47 pre-flight — relocate #6943 orphan test to a collected path, restore no-explicit-any suppression match, testFrozen bump translator-openai-to-gemini (1541→1553), zizmor rebaseline 159→169
+- **docs(readme):** fix stale counts — 18 routing strategies (adds the missing `pipeline` row), 94 MCP tools, 12-factor Auto-Combo scoring.
+- **chore(ci):** fix two shared base-reds on the release tip that blocked the PR queue — register `cliproxyapi-model-mapping-dispatch.test.ts` in `stryker.conf.json` `tap.testFiles` (mutation-coverage gap left by #6903) and update `provider-models-route-codex.test.ts` to expect Codex client version `0.144.0` (stale assertion left by #6780's production bump).
+- **docs:** refresh `llm.txt` to the current project state (248 providers, 94 MCP tools / 30 scopes, 18 routing strategies, 12-factor Auto-Combo scoring, v3.8.47) and sync its 42 i18n mirrors; move the implemented design-system plan from the repo root to `docs/architecture/DESIGN_SYSTEM.md` rewritten as a reference doc.
+- **chore(security):** scrub hardcoded live-instance credentials (API key + auth cookie + host URL) from the `tests/boundary/*.live.test.ts` files landed via #6786 — they now read `OMNIROUTE_TEST_BASE` / `OMNIROUTE_TEST_BEARER` / `OMNIROUTE_TEST_COOKIE` from the environment and stay gated behind `RUN_BOUNDARY_LIVE=1`.

+## [3.8.46] — 2026-07-07
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(sse):** **hide paid-only models from `auto/*` routing** when `hidePaidModels` is on ([#6512](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6512)) — follow-up to #6328/#6495. PR #6495 hid paid-only models from the `GET /v1/models` listing, but `auto/*` combos (`auto/best-coding`, `auto/glm`, …) could still pick a paid-only backend into their candidate pool → a 402/403 at request time. `createVirtualAutoCombo` now filters the candidate pool through the new pure `open-sse/services/autoCombo/paidModelFilter.ts` (`filterPaidOnlyCandidates`), applying the same free-model predicate #6495 uses in `catalog.ts` (`providerHasFreeModels(provider) && isFreeModel(provider, {id})`) whenever `settings.hidePaidModels === true`. Applied before the category/tier/family narrowing, so it covers every `auto/*` combo; an all-paid pool degrades to the existing graceful empty-pool path. **Opt-in — default OFF leaves the pool unchanged** (identity). Regression guard: `tests/unit/autoCombo/paid-model-filter-6512.test.ts` (4, incl. the default-off identity guard).
+- **feat(sse):** **provider-family auto combos** — `auto/glm`, `auto/minimax`, `auto/mimo`, `auto/zai`, `auto/gemma`, `auto/llama`, `auto/gemini` ([#6453](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6453)) — new routable ids that materialize an on-demand virtual combo spanning whatever installed backends currently expose that model family, degrading gracefully as backends rotate. A new pure `open-sse/services/autoCombo/modelFamily.ts` (`detectModelFamily`) classifies by model-id prefix for six families; `zai` is instead resolved by provider id (z.ai's hosted API serves the same `glm-*` model ids as every other GLM backend, so `auto/zai` means "route to my z.ai backend specifically" vs `auto/glm`'s "any connected GLM backend"). Reuses the existing `createVirtualAutoCombo` on-demand materialization path (no DB writes) and the `/v1/models` catalog advertising loop. Regression guard: `tests/unit/autoCombo/provider-family-combos.test.ts` (11).
+- **feat(proxy):** native **proxy-pool round-robin / egress IP rotation** ([#6365](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6365)) — a scope (global / provider / account) can now hold **multiple** proxies as a pool with a rotation strategy, so outbound requests cycle their egress IP instead of pinning one proxy per scope. Migration `117_proxy_pool_rotation.sql` lifts the `UNIQUE(scope, scope_id)` constraint (rebuild via the canonical rename/copy/drop; existing single assignments become 1-element pools) and adds a `proxy_scope_rotation` companion table holding the per-scope strategy + a persisted monotonic round-robin cursor. Strategies: `round-robin` (default, monotonic cursor — never `Math.random`), `random`, and `sticky-per-N-min`. Resolution (`resolveProxyForScopeFromRegistry` / `resolveProxyForConnectionFromRegistry`) now fetches the alive, position-ordered candidate set (unchanged `PROXY_ALIVE_PREDICATE`) and applies the strategy; an empty / all-dead pool still returns `null` — the #6246 fail-closed guard is **untouched** (never falls through to direct egress). Backend + DB only; dashboard pool-builder UI is a follow-up. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-pool-rotation-6365.test.ts` (8, incl. fail-closed + backward-compat).
+- **feat(providers):** end-to-end **tool/function calling on the native Gemini `/v1beta` endpoint** ([#6222](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6222)) — both directions of the Gemini↔OpenAI conversion now preserve tool data (previously silently dropped). Request side: `convertGeminiToInternal` (extracted to its own testable module) maps `tools[].functionDeclarations` → OpenAI `tools`, prior `functionCall` parts → assistant `tool_calls`, and `functionResponse` parts → `tool`-role messages. Response side: `convertOpenAIResponseToGemini` emits `parts[].functionCall {name,args}` from `message.tool_calls`, and the streaming `openAIChunkToGeminiChunk` accumulates fragmented `tool_calls` deltas by index into complete `functionCall` parts. The non-Gemini client paths (Claude, OpenAI-Responses) already preserved tool calls — this closes the gap specific to the native Gemini surface. Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1beta-gemini-tool-calling-6222.test.ts` (6, incl. a streaming SSE round-trip).
+- **feat(providers):** copilot-m365-web **enterprise / work tier** support ([#6334](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6334)) — mirrors the EDU-tier pattern (#6210): `M365ConnectionParams` gains an `agent` field, a new opt-in `M365_ENTERPRISE_OVERRIDES` preset (`agent=work`, `scenario=officeweb`, `licenseType=Premium`) applies via `providerSpecificData.tier="enterprise"` (alias `"work"`), and `agent` is also overridable directly via `providerSpecificData.agent`. `buildWsUrl` was hardcoding `agent="web"` (the one enterprise-distinguishing param with no override path), so a Premium work account handshook then returned an empty stream. The individual and EDU paths are untouched. Kilo's dup flag vs #6210 (EDU tier) was a false positive — different tier. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-enterprise-6334.test.ts` (7). End-to-end confirmation on a real Premium work account is a live-VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18). (thanks @Forcerecon)
+- **feat(api):** standardized, provider-agnostic **`effort` + `thinking` request params** ([#6241](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6241)) — a thin standardization layer over the existing mature per-provider reasoning plumbing (no provider mapper touched). `providerChatCompletionSchema` gains a canonical `effort` (reusing the shared `none/low/medium/high/xhigh` vocabulary — the UI tiers `extra`/`max` collapse onto `xhigh`) and a boolean `thinking`. A pure `normalizeReasoningRequest` (wired once in `src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, before any reasoning field is read) folds them onto the fields the translators already consume (`reasoning_effort` / `reasoning.effort` / `thinking`), so they fan out to Anthropic / Gemini / xAI / Responses — an explicit client `reasoning_effort` / object-shaped `thinking` always wins (backward-compatible). `/models` additively exposes `supportsThinking` + `effort_tiers` so the frontend can render the toggles (UI component is a follow-up). Regression guard: `tests/unit/effort-thinking-standardization-6241.test.ts` (12). (thanks @Iammilansoni, @shabeer)
+- **feat(combo):** new **`pipeline` (sequential) combo strategy** ([#6297](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6297)) — the 18th routing strategy runs targets **in order**, threading each step's output into the next step's input, with an optional per-step `prompt` (system instruction); only the final step's response is returned. Distinct from `fusion` (parallel fan-out + judge). Implemented as a self-contained `open-sse/services/pipeline.ts` (sibling to `fusion.ts`), dispatched from `combo.ts`; the step list reuses `combo.models` order and reads an optional `prompt` off each target (backward-compatible — ignored by every other strategy). Intermediate steps run non-streaming with tools stripped (complete prose to thread forward); the final step keeps the client's `stream` flag + tools. A failing/empty/unparseable intermediate step fails the whole pipeline explicitly via a sanitized error (never silently swallowed). Kilo's dup flag vs #563 was a false positive (that's model→chain selection; this is a sequential chain). Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-pipeline-strategy.test.ts` (5). (thanks @ofekbetzalel)
+- **feat(ci):** `check:test-masking` now flags **inline-reimplemented prod conditions** ([#6348](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6348)) — a new **report-only** subcheck (v2, 6A.10 family) catches the wrong-shape contract test: a test that recomputes the condition under test inline instead of importing/exercising the real function (the #6216 class, where `=== 500` → `>= 500` stayed green because the test re-implemented the branch). For each added/modified test file it warns when the file textually duplicates a ≥3-token conditional from a production file touched in the same PR **and** does not import the symbol/module owning it, via a pure, fixture-tested `findReimplementedConditions()` with an allowlist mirroring `assertReductionAllowlist`. Report-only for now (does not fail the gate) — to be promoted to blocking after a triage cycle. Regression guard: `tests/unit/check-test-masking.test.ts` (45).
+- **feat(sse):** per-connection routing override (native vs CLIProxyAPI) ([#6339](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6339)) — the previously-dead `isCliproxyapiDeepModeEnabled` helper is now wired into `resolveExecutorWithProxy`: a single connection can opt itself into the CLIProxyAPI passthrough executor via `providerSpecificData.cliproxyapiMode="claude-native"`, with precedence **connection override > provider `upstream_proxy_config` mode > default**. `resolveExecutorWithProxy` now receives the resolved connection's `providerSpecificData` (threaded from `chatCore.ts`), so one connection can deep-route while the provider's other connections stay native — no DB schema change (the toggle rides in `providerSpecificData`). Also resolves the same-provider mixing ask in #6340. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chatcore-executor-proxy.test.ts` (9). (thanks @RaviTharuma)
+- **feat(dashboard):** "Add session cookie" modal now shows a prominent **"Open ‹host› →"** link to the provider's own site ([#6268](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6268)) — every `-web` cookie-session provider (chatgpt-web, claude-web, gemini-web, kimi-web, lmarena, qwen-web, m365-copilot-web, …) renders a one-click external link (opening the provider's login/home page in a new tab) so operators no longer tab away to retype the URL mid-setup. The host resolves from a pure, unit-tested `resolveWebProviderHost()` (prefers `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS[id].website`, falls back to the registry `baseUrl` origin); non-web providers render exactly as before. Kilo's dup flag vs #6265 (modal-too-small-on-1080p) was a false positive — distinct concern. Regression guard: `tests/unit/resolve-web-provider-host.test.ts` (5). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add **DigitalOcean** AI (serverless inference) as an OpenAI-compatible API-key provider ([#6373](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6373)) — base `https://inference.do-ai.run/v1`, wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/digitalocean/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/inference-hosts.ts`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/digitalocean-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @newnol)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Huancheng Public API** (`hcnsec`) as an OpenAI-compatible regional provider ([#6410](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6410)) — Xinjiang Huancheng Cybersecurity's public LLM platform (base `https://api.hcnsec.cn/v1`, free credits via daily check-ins), wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/hcnsec/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/regional.ts`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/hcnsec-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @UnrealAryan)
+- **feat(dashboard):** the web-session credential guide now shows an **"Open {host}" link** ([#6316](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6316)) to the provider's sign-in site (derived from the provider `website` via `getProviderWebsiteHost`), so you can jump straight to the page where the cookie/session must be captured. Regression guard: `tests/unit/web-session-provider-link-6316.test.ts`. (thanks @jordansilly77-stack)
+- **feat(cerebras):** add the **Gemma 4 31B** model (`gemma-4-31b`) to the Cerebras registry + pricing table ([#6331](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6331)). Regression guard extends `tests/unit/t28-model-catalog-updates.test.ts`. (thanks @backryun)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Yuanbao (web)** as a cookie-session provider ([#6196](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6196)) — `yuanbao-web` (Tencent Yuanbao, `yuanbao.tencent.com`) with cookie-only auth (`hy_user`/`hy_token` + public agent id), SSE→OpenAI translation incl. `reasoning_content`, exposing DeepSeek V3/R1 + Hunyuan / Hunyuan-T1. Regression guard: `tests/unit/providers-yuanbao-web.test.ts`. `together-web` was **deferred** (no verifiable web-session endpoint — needs a captured request) and `huggingchat-web` **dropped** (the existing `huggingchat` already is a web-cookie provider). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** route the built-in **agentrouter** through the dynamic Claude-Code wire image ([#6056](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6056)) — a small static allow-set (`CC_WIRE_IMAGE_BUILTINS` in `open-sse/services/ccWireImageBuiltins.ts`), consulted by `isClaudeCodeCompatible` / `isClaudeCodeCompatibleProvider` / `applyFingerprint`, makes agentrouter adopt the CC wire-image headers + fingerprint **while guarding the CC baseUrl/auth branches** so it keeps its own registry `baseUrl` and `x-api-key` auth. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentrouter-cc-wire-image.test.ts` (asserts the wire image is applied AND agentrouter's baseUrl/auth are preserved). Live WAF-acceptance against agentrouter.org is a VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18).
+- **feat(providers):** **bulk-add API keys for Cloudflare Workers AI** ([#6174](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6174)) — `cloudflare-ai` is removed from the bulk-add exclusion list and the bulk parser gains a 3-field `name|accountId|apiKey` mode; the bulk route now builds a **per-entry** `providerSpecificData` so each key carries its own `accountId` (fixing the previous shared-object reuse), and both the create + key-validation paths receive it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/bulk-api-key-parser-cloudflare.test.ts`. (thanks @muflifadla38)
+- **feat(dashboard):** routing/settings UX clarity ([#6147](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6147)) — (1) weighted combos show the **effective routing share %** next to each weight when weights don't sum to 100 (`WeightTotalBar.tsx`); (2) the status widget's user-facing **"Cloud Sync" label is renamed** to "Remote Settings Sync" (`CloudSyncStatus.tsx`; internal ids/state untouched); (3) built-in providers gain an **opt-in advanced base-URL override** (`isBaseUrlOverrideEligibleProvider`, hidden behind an "Advanced" toggle, reusing the existing `providerSpecificData.baseUrl` persistence — not globally widened). Regression guard: `tests/unit/routing-settings-ux-6147.test.ts`.
+- **feat(combo):** add an option to **disable session stickiness**, per-combo or globally — round-robin / random combos can rotate to a different connection on every request instead of pinning a whole conversation to one connection by its first-message hash. Resolution precedence per-combo `config.disableSessionStickiness` → global `settings.disableSessionStickiness` → default `false` (preserves the #3825 prompt-cache/504 fix); gates **both** stickiness call sites in `open-sse/services/combo.ts`. Exposed as a global toggle (Combo Defaults) and a per-combo Inherit/on/off control. ([#6168](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6168)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-disable-session-stickiness.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+- **feat(docker):** add the `OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO` env flag for root-less / user-namespaced deployments — the MITM cert-trust command path (`resolveSudoSpawn` in `src/mitm/systemCommands.ts`) now strips the leading `sudo` when the flag is truthy, in addition to the existing root / sudo-missing cases, so the Proxy Agent runs without `sudo` (the operator trusts the CA manually, e.g. via `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`). Argv-array `spawn` preserved — no shell interpolation (Hard Rule #13). ([#6122](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6122)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-systemCommands-no-sudo.test.ts`. (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Requesty** as an OpenAI-compatible gateway provider (BYOK, base `https://router.requesty.ai/v1`, ~200 free requests/day) — wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/requesty/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/gateways.ts`). ([#6120](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6120)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/requesty-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add **configured-only / available-only filters** to the Free Provider Rankings page ([#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150)) — hide providers you haven't configured, or whose connections are all rate-limited / out of quota, via server-side query params (`?configuredOnly` / `?availableOnly` on `GET /api/free-provider-rankings`) backed by a testable lib helper reusing the in-process connection state (no Redis). Both filters default off, so the default view is unchanged; this supersedes the earlier client-side "Configured Only" toggle (#6245) with an available-only dimension and unit-tested logic. Regression guard: `tests/unit/freeProviderRankings-filters.test.ts`.

+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(dashboard):** adding a second API key connection for the same provider no longer silently overwrites the first — the Add-API-key modal now derives a unique default connection name (`main`, then `main-2`, `main-3`, …) so the backend name-based upsert can't collide (#6499 — thanks @dilneiss).
+- **fix(compression):** the session-dedup engine now also deduplicates a large multi-line block repeated **within a single message** (intra-message dedup), not just across turns; the compression-preview API surfaces a `fallbackReason`, and the fusion panel reports how many models were rate-limited vs failed on total-panel failure (#6501 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **fix(compression):** a stacked-pipeline step naming an unregistered engine now surfaces a `validationErrors` entry instead of silently no-op'ing, so misconfigured pipelines are visible in the preview API (#6506 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **feat(usage):** add a **Codex reset-credit redemption** flow to the Provider Limits UI ([#6361](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6361)) — a `useCodexResetCreditRedemption` hook + `/api/usage/codex-reset-credit` route + `codexResetCredits` lib let you redeem banked Codex reset credits from the quota card. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-reset-credits.test.ts`. (thanks @JxnLexn)
+- **feat(glm):** add **team-plan quota settings** for `glm-cn` connections ([#6351](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6351)) — a dedicated `GlmTeamQuotaFields` form section (team quota id / limits) threaded through the Add/Edit connection modals, persisted via `providerSpecificData`, with the GLM usage service reading the team quota. Regression guards: `tests/unit/glm-team-quota.test.ts`, `provider-specific-data-schema.test.ts`. (thanks @hao3039032)
+- **feat(providers):** add **TinyFish** web-fetch/search support ([#6349](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6349)) — a `tinyfish-fetch` executor + `/v1/web/fetch` route + MCP web-fetch tool, registered as a specialty-media provider with request-validation and a search-provider catalog entry. Regression guards: `tests/unit/executor-tinyfish-fetch.test.ts`, `web-fetch-handler.test.ts`, `mcp-web-fetch-tool.test.ts`, `provider-validation-tinyfish.test.ts`. (thanks @dtybnrj)
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute launch-codex` now spawns `codex.cmd` through a shell on Windows (the npm `.cmd` shim is unresolvable by bare `spawn` → ENOENT), mirroring the qodercli Windows fix (#6263) ([#6312](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6312)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/launch-codex-windows-spawn-6312.test.ts`. (thanks @swingtempo)
+- **fix(codex):** isolate the **Spark** quota from the shared Codex quota and stabilize the quota UI ordering / hydration so per-scope limits render consistently ([#6336](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6336)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/codex-quota-selection-hydration.test.ts`, `provider-limits-ui.test.ts` + 3 more. (thanks @xz-dev)
+- **feat(api):** add a `hidePaidModels` setting that filters paid-only models out of the `/v1/models` catalog. Regression guard: `tests/unit/models-catalog-hide-paid.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api-manager):** the fallback model picker now preserves combos instead of dropping them when a primary model is unavailable ([#6443](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6443)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api-manager-page-static.test.ts`. (thanks @jmengit)
+- **fix(providers):** recoverable Antigravity / Cloud-Code (Gemini Code Assist) `403` responses ([#6452](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6452)) are now classified as a retryable project-config error instead of a terminal account ban, so a fixable project/API-disabled 403 no longer forces a ~1-year cooldown / full OAuth reconnect. Regression guard: `tests/unit/errorclassifier-antigravity-403.test.ts`. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(mitm):** `sanitizeHeaders` now redacts `Set-Cookie` response headers so upstream session cookies never leak into logs / diagnostics ([#6451](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6451)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-sanitize-headers.test.ts`. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(api):** `/api/compression/preview` now accepts `mode: "caveman"` and correctly handles stacked / zero-compression previews ([#6425](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6425)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api/compression-preview-caveman-and-stacked-6425.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Zed** hosted LLM aggregator as a native-app provider ([#6118](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6118)) — OAuth sign-in via the Zed hosted flow, registered through the shared provider registry + executor. Regression guards: `tests/unit/zed-oauth-provider.test.ts`, `zed-import-utils.test.ts`, `zed-docker-detect.test.ts`, `mitm-handler-zed.test.ts`. VPS-validated via live operator login (Hard Rule #18).
+- **fix(oauth):** the Kiro SSO-cache auto-import now **preserves the IDC region** — cross-region Amazon Q / Kiro profiles imported from the SSO cache are no longer collapsed to the default region ([#6113](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6113)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kiro-auto-import-idc-2059.test.ts`. VPS-validated via live operator login (Hard Rule #18).
+- **fix(dashboard):** passthrough model aliases no longer collide when two namespaced model ids share a last segment (port from 9router#1850, [#6431](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6431)). `enx/gpt-5.5` and `enx/codebuddy/gpt-5.5` both auto-generated the alias `gpt-5.5`, so the second model could never be added (the UI just alerted "alias already exists"). Aliases are now disambiguated deterministically — bare last segment when free, then parent-qualified (`codebuddy-gpt-5.5`), then a numeric suffix — while re-adding the exact same model id is still blocked. Regression guard: `tests/unit/passthrough-alias-1850.test.ts`. (thanks @arpicato)
+- **fix(translator):** preserve a Gemini `functionResponse` co-located with other parts (another `functionCall`, or trailing `text`) in the same content when translating **Gemini → OpenAI** ([#6376](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6376)). `convertGeminiContent()` early-returned the tool message on the first `functionResponse` part, dropping any co-located parts; such contents are now pre-split (one tool message per `functionResponse`, emitted first, plus one message for the remaining parts). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-to-openai-function-response.test.ts`. (thanks @warelik)
+- **fix(headroom):** detect a python interpreter managed by **mise / pyenv / asdf / conda** (port from 9router#2353, [#6382](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6382)). Headroom's python probe (`src/lib/headroom/detect.ts`) searched a hardcoded `PATH`, but version managers expose their interpreters via shim dirs that only join `PATH` through interactive-shell activation — which the non-interactive server never runs, so a managed python (≥3.10) was invisible and Headroom reported it missing. The search path now prepends the well-known shim/bin dirs (`~/.local/share/mise/shims`, `~/.pyenv/shims`, `~/.asdf/shims`, `$CONDA_PREFIX/bin`, `~/.local/bin`, respecting `MISE_DATA_DIR`/`PYENV_ROOT`/`ASDF_DATA_DIR` when set), and a new `HEADROOM_PYTHON` env override lets operators point straight at their interpreter (mirroring `HEADROOM_URL`). Still shell-free (`execFileSync`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/headroom-detect.test.ts` (5). (thanks @loopyd)
+- **fix(executors):** strip the OpenAI-Codex/Claude-CLI `client_metadata` passthrough field for **NVIDIA** requests (port from 9router#1887, [#6411](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6411)). NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible wrapper rejects it with `400 Unsupported parameter`, the same class already handled for `cerebras`/`mistral`; `nvidia` (executor `default`) was missing from the strip allowlist so Codex/Claude-Code passthrough requests 400'd. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executor-default-strip-client-metadata.test.ts` (+nvidia case). (thanks @phidinhmanh)
+- **fix(translator):** strip the Claude-style `thinking` field for **NVIDIA `z-ai/glm-5.2`** (port from 9router#2023, [#6413](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6413)). NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible wrapper 400s on `thinking` (a Claude-format client routed here leaves a `thinking:{type:"adaptive"}`); the existing strip rule only dropped `reasoning`. Same class already handled for `minimax-m2.7`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-minimax-thinking-strip.test.ts` (+glm-5.2 case). (thanks @phidinhmanh)
+- **fix(translator):** suppress the streamed `</think>` close marker for the **Antigravity IDE** client (port from 9router#1061, [#6415](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6415)). On thinking-only turns Antigravity rendered a bare `</think>` as the sole visible content, tripping its loop-detection and wasting requests. Antigravity's UA (`vscode/<v> (Antigravity/<v>)`) is added to the marker-suppress allowlist (alongside OpenCode); Claude Code / Cursor still get the marker, and `x-omniroute-thinking-marker: on` force-restores it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/think-close-marker-suppress-5245.test.ts`. (thanks @abdofallah)
+- **fix(executors):** strip nested `reasoning_content` from messages for **Mistral** (port from 9router#1649, [#6417](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6417)). Mistral's API returns `422 extra_forbidden` when an assistant message carries `reasoning_content` (replayed thinking from a prior turn, e.g. via the Codex `/responses` path); the generic top-level 400 field-downgrade retry never covered the nested per-message field. `DefaultExecutor` now strips it for provider `mistral` only, so DeepSeek (which requires replayed `reasoning_content`) is unaffected. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mistral-strip-reasoning-content-1649.test.ts`. (thanks @xxy9468615)
+- **fix(executors):** strip the `client_metadata` passthrough field on the **OpenCode** path (port from 9router#1442, [#6418](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6418)). OpenCode upstreams (e.g. `kimi-k2.6` via opencode-go) reject it with `400 "Extra inputs are not permitted, field: 'client_metadata'"`; the DefaultExecutor strip only covered cerebras/mistral and `OpencodeExecutor` extends `BaseExecutor` directly, so nothing removed it there. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-strip-client-metadata-1442.test.ts`. (thanks @yanpaing007)
+- **fix(executors):** inject the `reasoning_content` echo for the native **Moonshot Kimi** provider (port from 9router#1480, [#6419](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6419)). Kimi (executor `default`) is a thinking-mode upstream that 400s with "reasoning_content must be passed back" when a prior assistant turn lacks it; the placeholder injection was only wired into the OpenCode meta-provider, so direct multi-turn Kimi conversations failed. Scoped to `kimi` (gateway-served models matching the thinking-model name pattern are unaffected). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kimi-native-reasoning-injected-1480.test.ts`. (thanks @2220258345)
+- **fix(executors):** recover from a strict gateway's `context_management: Extra inputs are not permitted` 400 (port from 9router#1468, [#6420](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6420)). **Claude Code** always sends a top-level `context_management` field; strict anthropic-compatible gateways reject it. The dedicated context-editing 400-fallback only fired when OmniRoute's own `contextEditing` feature was enabled (default off), so a client-sent field passed through untouched and 400'd. `context_management` is now in the generic reactive field-strip list, so it's stripped-and-retried once regardless of the feature flag (with correct request re-signing for claude-compatible relays). Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-field-strips.test.ts`. (thanks @ohahe52-dot)
+- **fix(network):** enable **RFC 8305 Happy Eyeballs** (`autoSelectFamily`) on the direct-egress undici dispatcher (port from 9router#1237, [#6423](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6423)). When DNS returns both IPv6 (AAAA) and IPv4 (A) and the IPv6 route is broken (e.g. a NAT64 `64:ff9b::` prefix without routing), undici tried IPv6 first and hung until `ETIMEDOUT` (then a 502 + account lockout), even though `curl` reached the same host. The direct dispatcher now races both families and uses whichever connects first. Proxy paths pin family via `proxyTls` and are unaffected. Regression guard: `tests/unit/direct-dispatcher-pipelining-4580.test.ts`. (thanks @adentdk)
+- **fix(combo):** round-robin now advances the rotation pointer past the model that **actually served**, not the eagerly-scheduled one (port from 9router#948, [#6428](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6428)). With `stickyLimit: 1` (true round-robin), when the scheduled model failed and a _different_ model served via fallback, the counter had already advanced +1 from the scheduled index — so the next request reused the fallback-served model, degrading round-robin into hot-spotting on whichever model was healthy. The pointer now advances to the served index + 1 (mirroring the sticky-limit>1 path). Session-stickiness (#3825) and distribution are preserved. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-rr-fallback-advance-948.test.ts`. (thanks @binsarjr)
+- **fix(sse):** a non-string `model` field is now rejected with a `400` before the resolver, instead of crashing downstream `.toLowerCase()`/`.split()` calls into an empty-body `500` that escapes the error sanitizer ([#6407](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6407)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/chat-non-string-model-6407.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** unknown `/api/*` routes now return a JSON `404` (instead of the dashboard HTML shell) and scalar chat params (`model`/`temperature`/etc.) are validated **before** the provider lookup so malformed requests fail fast with a clear `400` ([#6424](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6424), [#6412](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6412)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/api/api-catchall-json-404.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chat-early-schema-validation-6412.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/chat/completions` now rejects a non-JSON `Content-Type` with a `400` before parsing the body ([#6414](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6414)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-chat-completions-content-type-6414.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the `X-OmniRoute-Compression` response header is now echoed on `/v1/chat/completions` and `/v1/completions` ([#6422](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6422)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression-header-echo-6422.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** concurrent `GET /v1/models` requests are coalesced into a single catalog build ([#6408](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6408)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-models-concurrent-6408.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/completions` now echoes the requested `body.model` in its JSON + streamed responses ([#6429](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6429)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/completions-body-model-echo.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** env-var master keys now see the full `/v1/models` catalog ([#6406](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6406)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/models-catalog-envkey-6406.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** non-streaming `/v1/completions` responses now echo `body.model` aligned with the `X-OmniRoute-Model` header ([#6426](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6426)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-completions-model-header-match-6426.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** unknown `/v1/*` routes now return a JSON `404 not_found` instead of the Next.js dashboard HTML shell ([#6405](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6405)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api/v1-catchall-json-404.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the per-connection provider models route now degrades to the shipped catalog when a provider's `/models` endpoint answers with a redirect ([#6267](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6267)) — a `qwen-web` import failed with a raw `Redirect blocked … (307)` 503. `safeOutboundFetch` throws `REDIRECT_BLOCKED` on the 307, `getSafeOutboundFetchErrorStatus` maps it to 503, and `buildDiscoveryErrorFallbackResponse` treated every 503 as a hard error — so the non-empty `getModelsByProviderId("qwen-web")` catalog was never surfaced. A models-endpoint redirect is not a fixable-config error (unlike `URL_GUARD_BLOCKED`/`INVALID_URL`, which stay hard errors), so it now falls back to the local/cached catalog before the 503 short-circuit. General fix — covers any config-driven provider that 307s. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-qwen-web-redirect-6267.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the per-connection provider models route (MCP `list_models_catalog` + the dashboard import view) now merges USER-ADDED custom models into its response ([#6247](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6247)) — custom models live in the `key_value` namespace `customModels`, which the live REST `/api/v1/models` already merges, but `src/app/api/providers/[id]/models/route.ts` never read `getCustomModels`, so custom models were dropped on both the discovery-success and local_catalog paths. They are now folded into the returned model list (deduped by id, stamped `owned_by: provider`), fixing MCP + the dashboard import view in one place. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-custom-merge-6247.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo tool-calling follow-up turns no longer fail upstream with `422 {"detail":"Validation error"}` (tokens 0/0, rejected pre-inference). The #6234 tool-result-feedback fix serialized the **entire** multi-turn conversation into GitLab's single-file `code_suggestions` (`small_file`) generation endpoint — folded history that turn-N sent as an oversized `current_file.content_above_cursor` **and** duplicated verbatim into `user_instruction`, tripping the AI-Gateway's `small_file` validation guard. The executor now **bounds** that prompt: it keeps system + latest user message + the most-recent tool round (dropping older turns), caps oversized tool results, and stops duplicating the full prompt into `user_instruction` (which now carries only the short latest user message) — while still feeding the most-recent tool result back so the agent continues (`open-sse/executors/gitlab.ts`, [#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)). The unit test covers the bounding logic; the upstream 422→200 clearing is VPS-only (Hard Rule #18). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-exchange-bounded-6220.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(i18n):** the provider-detail (`/dashboard/providers/[id]`) connection-status filter labels no longer render as `__MISSING__:All` / `__MISSING__:Active` / `__MISSING__:Error` / `__MISSING__:Banned` / `__MISSING__:CreditsExhausted` in non-English locales (notably pt-BR) ([#6290](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6290)). Root cause was **not** the namespace mismatch the issue guessed — the `providers.filter*` keys resolve correctly in `en.json`; the debt lived in the locale mirrors (`src/i18n/messages/*.json`), where these five keys carried the `__MISSING__:` sync sentinel in ~15 locales and were absent entirely in ~26 others, so next-intl found the key and echoed the sentinel verbatim. All 40 non-English/-Chinese mirrors now ship real translations for the five `providers.filter*` labels. Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-provider-filter-keys-6290.test.ts`. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(providers):** the `copilot-m365-web` streaming executor now emits `debug`-level WebSocket diagnostics ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)) — the outbound WS URL (with the `access_token` **redacted** via `redactWsUrl()`), handshake success/failure, and each received SignalR frame's `type`/`target`. Previously the streaming path logged nothing, so an empty `content:null` response (the M365 Education / Starter tier symptom fixed in #6234) was undiagnosable even at `APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug`. The change is debug-level and side-effect-free — it does not alter streaming behavior or the frame parser, and the token never reaches the logs. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-web-logging-6210.test.ts` (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(resilience):** a round-robin combo no longer returns `503 all upstream accounts are unavailable` when a compatibility-rejected target is actually healthy ([#6238](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6238)). `filterTargetsByRequestCompatibility` drops request-incompatible targets (tool/vision/structured-output unsupported, or below the required context window) **before** any availability check runs, and its `compatible.length === 0` safety net only fired when _all_ targets were filtered — not when the kept targets later all turned out runtime-unavailable (circuit-open / cooldown / no credentials). So a combo could 503 while a compat-rejected-but-healthy provider sat unused. `handleRoundRobinCombo` now keeps the compat-rejected set and, when every compat-kept target was skipped without a single real attempt, probes those rejected targets as a **last-resort fallback tier** (via the new pure `open-sse/services/combo/comboCompatFallback.ts`) before crystallizing the 503. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-roundrobin-compat-fallback-6238.test.ts`. (thanks @ThongAccount)
+
+- **fix(startup):** best-effort self-heal for a corrupted Turbopack dev cache on Windows ([#6289](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6289)). On Windows, `pnpm dev` can fail at startup when Turbopack `mmap`s a persistent-cache SST file and the OS refuses the mapping (`os error 1455` — "paging file too small"), which Turbopack surfaces as a misleading `Module not found: Can't resolve '@/shared/utils/machine'`. This is a **known upstream Turbopack cache-corruption bug — not our code**. The dev launcher (`scripts/dev/run-next.mjs`) now wraps `nextApp.prepare()` and, when it rejects with that signature (`isTurbopackCacheCorruption` in the new `scripts/dev/turbopackCacheHeal.mjs`), purges `.build/next/**/cache/turbopack` and retries **once** with a clear log. **Caveat — best-effort only:** the corruption often surfaces as a runtime overlay rather than a `prepare()` rejection, so this cannot always intercept it; the reliable remedy remains manually deleting the Turbopack cache dir.

+- **fix(providers):** qodercli PAT auth no longer fails with `spawn qodercli ENOENT` on Windows ([#6263](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6263)) — `spawnQoderCli` spawned the bare `qodercli` name with `shell:false` and an unenriched env, so the npm `.cmd` wrapper under `%APPDATA%\npm` (a user-PATH directory) was never resolved. It now resolves the absolute `.cmd`/`.exe` path through the existing `getCliRuntimeStatus("qoder")` resolver in `src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts` (memoized), spawns with `shell` when the target is a `.cmd`/`.bat`, and uses the cliRuntime-enriched env (PATH + PATHEXT + APPDATA); the ENOENT error now lists the searched paths plus the `CLI_QODER_BIN` override. End-to-end spawn on a real Windows host is host-only (Hard Rule #18); the path-resolution logic is unit-tested. Regression guard: `tests/unit/qodercli-windows-resolve-6263.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(sse):** the reasoning-token buffer no longer inflates **probe-sized `max_tokens`** ([#6274](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6274)) — Claude Code's `/model` capability check sends `max_tokens: 1`, but for a thinking-capable model with a large output cap (e.g. `glm-5.2`) the #3587 headroom heuristic (`max(current + 1000, ceil(current * 1.5))`) rewrote it to `1001` and forwarded that upstream, wasting tokens on a request that was never a genuine reasoning budget. `resolveReasoningBufferedMaxTokens()` (`open-sse/services/reasoningTokenBuffer.ts`) now short-circuits and returns the caller's value verbatim when it is below the new `REASONING_BUFFER_MIN_TRIGGER` (256) threshold — a tiny explicit limit is a probe, not a reasoning request. Real budgets still receive the #3587 headroom unchanged, and the guard runs after the existing capability checks so unknown / non-reasoning models keep returning `null`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/reasoning-token-buffer-6274.test.ts`. (thanks @brightfiscalband)
+
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute reset-password` now works as a real subcommand, and password resets over piped (non-TTY) stdin actually apply ([#6261](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6261), [#6258](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6258)). Two coupled defects: (1) **#6261** — `bin/omniroute.mjs` routed everything through Commander with only two pre-Commander bypasses (`--mcp`, `reset-encrypted-columns`), so `omniroute reset-password` was rejected as an unknown command; only the separate `omniroute-reset-password` bin worked, while the docs falsely advertised the subcommand (incl. a bogus "legacy alias still works"). A pre-Commander bypass mirroring `reset-encrypted-columns` now dynamically imports `bin/reset-password.mjs` (which self-executes) before Commander parses; the three doc lines were corrected. (2) **#6258** — `bin/reset-password.mjs` issued two sequential `rl.question` prompts; under piped stdin the second read never settled at EOF, so `main()` never reached `resetManagementPassword` and the reset was a silent no-op (both prompts printed, no success, password unchanged). The CLI now detects non-TTY stdin and reads it once (first line = password, second line = confirm if present, else reused), adds a `--password-stdin` flag (entire stdin is the password, no confirmation), and exits `0` explicitly so the success line always flushes; interactive TTY behavior is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/reset-password-cli-6261-6258.test.ts` (3). (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(db):** the mass-migration **safety abort** now tells the operator how to bypass it and stops flooding the log ([#6260](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6260)) — after restoring a backup that wiped the migration tracking table, `runMigrations()` threw the abort on every downstream `ensureDbInitialized()`, re-logging the full banner 11+ times, and the message never mentioned the existing `OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS` escape hatch. The abort text now appends a bypass hint (set `OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS=0` in `server.env` / `DATA_DIR/.env`), and a new `MigrationSafetyAbortError` is memoized so repeated calls in the same process throw the same instance and emit a single concise line instead of the full cascade. Regression guard: `tests/unit/migration-safety-abort-6260.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(auth):** importing a **distinct** Codex/ChatGPT OAuth `auth.json` is no longer falsely rejected as "already exists" when it belongs to a different user in the same workspace ([#6301](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6301)). `findExistingCodexConnection` (in `src/lib/oauth/utils/codexAuthImport.ts`) deduped **only** on `providerSpecificData.workspaceId === accountId`, where `accountId` is the shared `chatgpt_account_id`/`tokens.account_id` — so two members of the same ChatGPT Team collapsed onto a single connection (409 `duplicate_account`). The id_token's `https://api.openai.com/auth` claim carries a per-user `chatgpt_user_id` alongside the workspace id (the device-flow path already persisted it as `chatgptUserId`, but the import path did not). Now `parseAndValidateCodexAuth` extracts `userId` (`chatgpt_user_id` → `user_id` → JWT `sub`) into `ParsedCodexAuth`, the create/update paths persist `chatgptUserId` in `providerSpecificData` (mirroring `codex.ts`), and dedup keys on `workspaceId` **AND** `chatgptUserId` — with a backward-compat fallback to legacy accountId-only matching when no stored connection for that workspace records a `chatgptUserId`, so genuinely-same accounts still dedup. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-auth-import-userid-dedup-6301.test.ts` (4). (thanks @anungma)
+
+- **fix(providers):** importing models for the **venice-web** provider no longer fails with a red "Provider venice-web does not support models listing" ([#6269](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6269)). `venice-web` is a web-cookie provider with an executor but no upstream `/v1/models` endpoint and no registry `models`, so the models route fell through to the tail `400`. Mirroring the `jules`/`linkup-search`/`ollama-search` fix (#5569), it now ships a static local catalog entry in `src/lib/providers/staticModels.ts` — seeding the current Venice lineup (`venice-uncensored`, `llama-3.3-70b`, `qwen3-235b`, `qwen3-4b`, `deepseek-r1-671b`; Venice rotates its catalog, see docs.venice.ai/models/overview) — so the route returns `200` with `source:"local_catalog"`, `intentional:true`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/static-models-venice-web-6269.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(api):** the specialty model catalogs (`/v1/embeddings`, `/v1/images`, `/v1/music`, `/v1/videos` model lists) are now derived from the **unified catalog filtered by a predicate** (`getSpecialtyModelsResponse`) instead of ad-hoc per-route logic, so they consistently respect active-credential visibility and stay in sync with the main catalog ([#6303](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6303)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/specialty-model-catalog-routes.test.ts`. (thanks @makcimbx)
+- **fix(api):** the agent-bridge server route now resolves the MITM manager via a **dynamic `import("@/mitm/manager.runtime")`** so Turbopack does not statically pull the stub (or over-bundle the manager), and the agent-skills generator anchors its output base path with `path.join(process.cwd(), …)` so Turbopack's static analyzer stops tracing the whole project root ([#6329](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6329), [#6366](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6366)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/agent-bridge-server-route-dynamic-import.test.ts`. (thanks @Iammilansoni)
+- **fix(api):** internal probes (combo-test, cloud-sync verify) now pick a **management-scoped / allow-all API key** instead of naively grabbing `getApiKeys()[0]` — a restricted `self:usage` first row made the probe fail with "Model X is not allowed for this API key" even when the combo path was healthy (`pickApiKeyForInternalUse` in `src/lib/db/apiKeys.ts`). The API-manager model editor also falls back to `/api/models?all=true` when `/v1/models` is catalog-protected ([#6372](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6372)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/pick-internal-api-key-6372.test.ts`. (thanks @jmengit)
+- **fix(live-ws):** the Live Dashboard WebSocket server now **rejects on bind failure** (e.g. `EADDRINUSE` when the API bridge already holds the port) instead of letting the error surface as an unhandled `error` event that crash-loops the process — the `error` listener is attached to `wss` (not `server`) and releases the EventBus subscription on a failed start ([#6324](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6324)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/live-ws-eaddrinuse-6324.test.ts`. (thanks @vinayakkulkarni)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the Home provider-topology widget now trusts the live provider-metrics snapshot — it uses `topology.errorProvider` and live `activeRequests` directly instead of re-deriving state from a stale `lastErrorAt` or applying a frontend timeout filter, so the topology reflects real-time provider health ([#6322](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6322)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/home-provider-topology-live-state.test.ts`. (thanks @xz-dev)
+- **fix(sse):** strip zero-width markers from streamed **tool-call arguments** — a follow-up to [#5857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5857). That PR removed injected zero-width joiners (U+200D) from streamed assistant text/reasoning but deliberately left tool-call argument JSON byte-exact. The request-side obfuscation (`open-sse/services/claudeCodeObfuscation.ts`) injects ZWJ into agent words — including the temp path inside the Bash tool description — and Claude models copy that verbatim into generated commands, which are delivered as tool-call arguments rather than assistant text. As a result the ZWJ survived and corrupted code blocks (e.g. a temp path rendered with an invisible joiner). Now `open-sse/handlers/responseSanitizer.ts` strips zero-width code points from tool-call argument strings at every emit site (OpenAI non-stream/stream chat `tool_calls` + legacy `function_call`, native Responses `function_call` items, the OpenAI→Responses conversion, and the native Responses streaming `response.function_call_arguments.delta/.done` events). Only zero-width code points are removed; JSON structure and all other bytes stay identical (no parse/restringify), so normal arguments remain byte-exact. Regression guard: 6 new cases in `tests/unit/response-sanitizer.test.ts` (suite 50/50).
+
+- **fix(nodejs):** the default app log path now resolves under `DATA_DIR` (`~/.omniroute/logs/application/app.log`) instead of `process.cwd()` ([#6197](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6197)) — the globally-installed CLI runs from an arbitrary working directory, so anchoring the default to cwd made file logging silently write to (or no-op under) an unrelated directory, contradicting the documented `.env.example` default. `getAppLogFilePath()` now computes the default lazily via the pure `resolveDataDir()` resolver (honours a per-process `DATA_DIR`, no directory-creation side effect); an explicit `APP_LOG_FILE_PATH` still wins. Regression guard: `tests/unit/logenv-datadir-path-6197.test.ts` (3).
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge/`startMitm` no longer aborts in containers/headless when the Antigravity-default DNS step can't write `/etc/hosts` ([#6127](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6127)), and the privileged command's stderr now reaches `app.log` instead of only a bare exit code hitting the toast ([#6198](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6198)). The default DNS step (`addDNSEntry`) was called unguarded while cert install and the two sibling DNS steps were each best-effort — in the runtime Docker image (`USER node`, no `sudo`, read-only `/etc/hosts`) it threw `Command failed with code 1` out of `startMitmInternal` and killed the whole start, discarding the stderr. The three DNS steps are extracted into a best-effort `provisionDnsEntries()` where each failure is logged with the full `err` (stderr included, folded in by `systemCommands.ts`) and never aborts the start. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-dns-graceful-degrade-6127.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** copilot-m365-web now supports the M365 Education "Starter / OfficeWebIncludedCopilot" tier and no longer returns an empty `content:null` stream ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)). Two gaps: (1) `buildWsUrl()` hardcoded the individual-consumer scenario (`OfficeWebPaidConsumerCopilot`, `isEdu=false`) — the EDU tier is now opt-in via `providerSpecificData.tier="edu"`, emitting `scenario=OfficeWebIncludedCopilot`/`isEdu=true` (the individual path is unchanged); (2) the EDU/GPT-5.5 path streams deltas via `arguments[0].writeAtCursor` (incremental) instead of only `messages[].text` (accumulated snapshots), which the parser dropped — a new `accumulateBotContent()` folds both formats, with `type:2 item.result.message` as a last-resort fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-edu-writeatcursor-6210.test.ts` (10). (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo executor now feeds tool results back into the prompt instead of looping ([#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)) — `buildPrompt()` branched only on `system`/`user` and took `userParts.at(-1)`, silently dropping the `assistant{tool_calls}` + `tool{result}` turns the client appended, so the reconstructed prompt was byte-identical to turn 1 and the model re-emitted the same `<tool>` call forever. When a tool exchange is present the full conversation is now serialized, folding each tool result back keyed by its `tool_call_id`; simple conversations keep the legacy shape. Complements the tool_call emission from [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051) (the `kilo-duplicate` label was a false positive — different, sequential defect). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-result-feedback-6220.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** opencode-go/opencode-zen can now synthesize the OpenCode CLI identity headers Cloudflare requires on VPS egress ([#5997](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5997)) — on a datacenter VPS, `opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/chat/completions` 403s (HTML challenge) requests lacking CLI identity, while the reporter's control curl proved that `User-Agent: opencode-cli/1.0.0` + `x-opencode-client: cli` + `x-opencode-project: default` + fresh request/session UUIDs succeed. Opt-in via `OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS=true` (values overridable via `OPENCODE_GO_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_CLIENT`/`OPENCODE_PROJECT`); it fills only headers the client did not already send. Kept **off by default** — the forward-only path is deliberate (fabricating a wrong value risks upstream rejection; a prior dedup regressed with `opencode/local`), so this replaces the fragile local header-injection shim without changing default behavior. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-cli-headers-synthesis-5997.test.ts` (6). (thanks @aleksesipenko)
+- fix(resilience): sticky session affinity now evicts and fails over to another account when the pinned account is exhausted/unavailable (#6219)
+
+- fix(sse): Responses API passthrough now drops internal commentary-phase output before forwarding to clients (gated by RESPONSES_PASSTHROUGH_DROP_COMMENTARY, default on) (#6199)
+
+- **fix(sse):** tool-call function schemas with a root `type: null` are now coerced to `type: "object"` before dispatch ([#6359](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6359)) — clients like the Codex app emit `parameters: { type: null, ... }` for some tools, which OpenAI-compatible upstreams reject with `400 Invalid schema for function '...': schema must be a JSON Schema of 'type: "object"', got 'type: null'`, failing the whole request. `toolSchemaSanitizer` already stripped the null; it now re-adds the mandatory root `"object"` type (and empty `properties`/open `additionalProperties` when absent). Combinator roots (`anyOf`/`oneOf`/`allOf`) and explicit root types are left untouched. Regression guard: 5 new cases in `tests/unit/tool-schema-sanitizer.test.mjs`.
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge no longer fails to start on npm/Electron/VPS installs with "MITM manager stub reached at runtime" ([#6344](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6344)) — v3.8.45 flipped the production bundler default to Turbopack, but `next.config.mjs` aliased `@/mitm/manager` to its Docker-only degraded stub **unconditionally**. That was harmless while Docker (which sets the alias intentionally for #3390 graceful degradation) was the sole Turbopack consumer, but once every artifact built with Turbopack the stub shipped to all non-Docker users and `startMitm` threw on the first Agent-Bridge start. The alias is now opt-in via `OMNIROUTE_MITM_STUB=1` (set only by the Dockerfile) through the shared `scripts/build/mitm-stub-flag.mjs` helper; default builds bundle the real manager. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-stub-alias-6344.test.mjs` (4).
+
+- **fix(proxy):** stop the v3.8.44 proxy regression that leaked the real IP and disabled healthy proxies ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Two coupled defects from the new health scheduler: (1) **IP leak** — when a proxy assigned to a connection was marked `inactive`, resolution fell through to a **direct** egress instead of blocking, exposing the operator's real IP; (2) **over-deactivation** — the sweep flipped a proxy to `inactive` on the **first** failed probe and counted our own 5s timeout / a probe-target `5xx` as the proxy's fault, so healthy paid proxies vanished from egress selection ("my proxies are not being used anymore"). Fix: the sweep decision is extracted into a pure, network-free `decideProxyHealthAction` (`src/lib/proxyHealth/decision.ts`) — by default the health check now **only counts/logs and never downgrades status** (a proxy is downgraded/removed only with `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE=true`, after `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE_AFTER` **consecutive** conclusive failures); probes are classified tri-state so an inconclusive result (our timeout, or a `5xx` from the probe target) never penalizes the proxy, and the probe timeout is raised 5s→15s. Separately, `safeResolveProxy` now **fails closed** via the existing policy: a connection whose assigned proxy is dead is blocked instead of leaking direct (`hasBlockingProxyAssignment`), honoring the explicit `proxy off` toggles and the `PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true` opt-out. Existing proxies stuck `inactive` by the old behavior need a one-time manual re-activate (the operator owns proxy status). Regression guards: `tests/unit/proxy-health-decide-action-6246.test.ts`, `tests/unit/proxy-assigned-unavailable-6246.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(proxy):** make "Test All" read-only and add bulk enable/disable ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Complements the core fail-closed / scheduler fix (#6296) with the two remaining reporter asks. (1) The **"Test All" button** (`POST /api/settings/proxies/auto-test`) used to flip a proxy to `inactive` on a failed reachability probe; since the egress selector excludes `inactive` proxies, a flaky probe (an unreachable `httpbin.org`, a proxy that blocks `HEAD`, or a slow paid proxy) silently disabled every proxy that failed — "Test All" is now **read-only by default** (only the operator sets a proxy active/inactive; opt back into the legacy test-and-set with `PROXY_HEALTH_AUTO_DEACTIVATE=true`). (2) Adds a **bulk enable/disable** proxies endpoint + toolbar action (`POST /api/settings/proxies/batch-activate`) so an operator can re-activate proxies in one click. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-health-6246.test.ts`. (thanks @tenshiak)
+
+- **chatcore (tools): stop the default 128-tool cap from silently dropping opencode's `task`/MCP tools.** opencode (used as an MCP/agent host) sends a large tool list; when it exceeds the speculative `MAX_TOOLS_LIMIT` (128) default, `truncateToolList` did a blind `tools.slice(0, 128)`, dropping every tool past index 128 — including opencode's built-in `task` tool (subagent launch) and many MCP tools, so models routed through OmniRoute could no longer spawn subagents or reach part of their tools. The cap exists to avoid upstream `400`s for providers with real hard limits (e.g. grok-cli 200), so it is kept for those: detection of the opencode client (`isOpencodeClient` — any `x-opencode-*` header, or `opencode` in the user-agent) now only bypasses the **speculative 128 default**, never a known provider ceiling. Precedence is explicit — a proactive/detected provider limit always truncates (even for opencode); otherwise opencode forwards its full tool list; otherwise the unchanged 128 default applies to every other client. Refactors `getEffectiveToolLimit` into `getKnownToolLimit(provider) ?? DEFAULT_LIMIT` (byte-identical for existing callers) and fixes a cosmetic debug-log that reported the truncated count instead of the original. Regression guard: `tests/unit/tool-limit-detector.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the macOS MITM-cert install check now matches the system keychain again. `security find-certificate -a -Z` prints the SHA-1 as a colon-less hex string, but the installed-check compared it against `getCertFingerprint()`'s colon-separated form, so the substring match never hit — the cert was reported as not-installed and re-prompted for the sudo install on every run. Fingerprints are now normalized (colons stripped, upper-cased) on both sides via the extracted `macCertOutputHasFingerprint` helper. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-cert-mac-fingerprint.test.ts`. ([#6204](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6204), closes [#6134](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6134) — thanks @rianonehub)
+
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/messages/count_tokens` now counts `tool_use`, `tool_result` and `thinking` content blocks (and array-form `system` prompts) in the local-estimation path, instead of only `text`. Real agentic conversations keep ~95% of their tokens inside tool results; the previous estimate returned near-zero for them, which silently broke Claude Code's auto-compaction (context grew past the window with no compaction until the upstream API rejected the request). The real provider-side count path is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/messages-count-tokens-route.test.ts`. ([#6221](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6221) — thanks @luweiCN)
+
+- **fix(antigravity):** strip a trailing assistant prefill turn for Vertex Claude models to avoid upstream 400s ([#6114](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6114)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-claude-prefill-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(security):** the mutable cloud-agent routes (`/api/cloud/credentials/update`, `/api/cloud/models/alias`) now require management auth instead of being treated as public. They were classified as public API routes, so a request without management credentials could update stored cloud-agent credentials and model aliases. They are removed from the public-route set, classified as management routes in the authz pipeline, and gated by `requireManagementAuth`; cloud **read**/auth routes stay public. Regression guards: `tests/unit/cloud-write-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts`, `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6233](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6233) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+
+- **refactor(dashboard):** extract the onboarding-wizard "Open provider details" link target into a pure, unit-tested `buildProviderDetailsHref(connection)` helper. The wizard already routes by `connection.id` (the node UUID) rather than the provider category slug (#6144/#6145); this hardens that behavior behind a tested helper that guards a missing id/connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-onboarding-href.test.ts`. ([#6166](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6166) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+
+- **fix(security):** the doubao synthetic device-id generator now derives its digits via an unbiased crypto-random draw (rejection sampling over `crypto.randomBytes()`) instead of a `% 10` reduction, closing a CodeQL `js/biased-cryptographic-random` finding.
+- **fix(agentSkills):** the GitHub-skills generator now resolves `outputDir` to an absolute path before writing, fixing a regression introduced by #6366 (relative-to-cwd base path) that could write generated skill files to the wrong directory.
+- **fix(security):** `/api/keys/{id}/devices` now checks the HTTP method before auth/validation, returning a `405` for non-GET/DELETE verbs instead of a misleading `401`/`500` (closes a `dast-smoke` QUERY-method finding).
+- **fix(quality):** clear the last 2 heavy quality-gate reds on the release tip (cycle pre-flight).
+- **fix(mitm):** the test suite and CI can never mutate the OS trust store — `OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1` is set globally for tests/CI so `installCert`/`uninstallCert`/`installTproxyCa` skip the privileged OS dispatch ([#6310](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6310); full detail is under the [3.8.45] section below — this branch received it via the parallel-cycle sync-back).
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/github-skills` now Zod-validates its request body; documented the new quality-gate env vars and pinned the merge-integrity GitHub Actions to a commit SHA.
+- **fix(skills):** generate the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry and align the agent-skills catalog-count tests (follow-up to #6186).
+- **fix(quality):** clear the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors and make `validate-release-green` suppressions-aware.
+- **fix(security):** proxy-pool `random` rotation now selects via `crypto.randomInt` instead of `Math.random` — silences the post-release CodeQL `js/insecure-randomness` alerts (#698/#699) that flagged `Math.random` flowing into the selected proxy's credentials. Load-balancing selection is not a secret, but the crypto source is unbiased and clears the alert at the origin (#6365 follow-up).

+- **chore(providers):** remove deprecated **MiMo V2** model entries from the catalogs (xiaomi-mimo, opencode-go, zenmux-free, audio TTS) — the upstream V2 line is superseded by MiMo V2.5; drops `mimo-v2-tts`, `mimo-v2-pro`, `mimo-v2-omni`, `mimo-v2-flash`, `mimo-v2-flash-free` and realigns the provider-catalog tests.

CI/release-pipeline work: #6167, #6203, #6214, #6215, #6218, #6273, #6275, #6283, #6284, #6285, #6300, #6305.
+- **chore(release):** additional zero-ref release-cycle plumbing on this branch, kept out of `release:uncovered` on purpose (no `#N` in the commit subject to cite): opening the v3.8.46 cycle, opening/closing the v3.8.45 cycle, the finalized [3.8.45] CHANGELOG i18n sync-back to 42 mirrors, the v3.8.45 cognitive/cyclomatic and file-size drift rebaselines, ESLint stale-suppression pruning (4,273 → 4,233), and clearing test-masking/docs-all pre-flight reds for v3.8.45.
+
+### ⚡ Performance & Infrastructure
+
+- **perf(release-green):** the pre-flight validator (`scripts/quality/validate-release-green.mjs`) now runs its 4 slow suites (unit / vitest / integration / pack-artifact) **concurrently** via `Promise.all` — pre-flight wall time drops from ~the sum of the suites to ~the slowest one (~30min saved per round; Phase 0 was the nº1 bottleneck of the v3.8.45 release benchmark, 2h54 of 6h34 e2e). Guard: `tests/unit/validate-release-green.test.ts` ("runs the slow suites CONCURRENTLY"). ([#6319](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6319))
+- **fix(ci):** `scripts/release/sync-next-cycle.mjs` — two defects found live in its first production run (v3.8.45 Phase 5): (1) the `git()` helper's default 1 MiB `maxBuffer` crashed with `ENOBUFS` on `git show origin/main:CHANGELOG.md` (the CHANGELOG alone is >1 MiB) — widened to 64 MiB; (2) the i18n resync only propagated the `[NEXT]` (TBD) section, leaving the just-shipped finalized section as "— TBD" in all 42 mirrors — it now also syncs `[prevVersion]` bounded by the heading below it (new exported pure helper `versionAfter`). Guards: +5 tests in `tests/unit/sync-next-cycle.test.ts` (8/8). ([#6327](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6327))
+- **test(ci):** concurrency-sensitive flaky tests are **quarantined into a serial pass** (`tests/unit/serial/`, `--test-concurrency=1`, appended to every unit runner incl. sharded variants — the serial pass is sharded too so concurrent shard jobs never self-collide). Initial set: `glm-coding-plan-monthly-3580`, `quota-division-blocks`, `provider-health-autopilot`, `combo-health-autopilot` — the class behind the ~28min CI wedges/re-runs (two live 1h+ wedges cancelled during this PR's own validation). Discovery + TIA gates track the new glob; systemic root cause (async logger writing after teardown) tracked in [#6360](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6360). Guard: `tests/unit/test-serial-quarantine.test.ts` (4). ([#6347](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6347))

+## [3.8.45] — 2026-07-06
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(providers):** add **Yuanbao (web)** as a cookie-session provider ([#6196](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6196)) — `yuanbao-web` (Tencent Yuanbao, `yuanbao.tencent.com`) with cookie-only auth (`hy_user`/`hy_token` + public agent id), SSE→OpenAI translation incl. `reasoning_content`, exposing DeepSeek V3/R1 + Hunyuan / Hunyuan-T1. Regression guard: `tests/unit/providers-yuanbao-web.test.ts`. `together-web` was **deferred** (no verifiable web-session endpoint — needs a captured request) and `huggingchat-web` **dropped** (the existing `huggingchat` already is a web-cookie provider). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** route the built-in **agentrouter** through the dynamic Claude-Code wire image ([#6056](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6056)) — a small static allow-set (`CC_WIRE_IMAGE_BUILTINS` in `open-sse/services/ccWireImageBuiltins.ts`), consulted by `isClaudeCodeCompatible` / `isClaudeCodeCompatibleProvider` / `applyFingerprint`, makes agentrouter adopt the CC wire-image headers + fingerprint **while guarding the CC baseUrl/auth branches** so it keeps its own registry `baseUrl` and `x-api-key` auth. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentrouter-cc-wire-image.test.ts` (asserts the wire image is applied AND agentrouter's baseUrl/auth are preserved). Live WAF-acceptance against agentrouter.org is a VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18).
+- **feat(providers):** **bulk-add API keys for Cloudflare Workers AI** ([#6174](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6174)) — `cloudflare-ai` is removed from the bulk-add exclusion list and the bulk parser gains a 3-field `name|accountId|apiKey` mode; the bulk route now builds a **per-entry** `providerSpecificData` so each key carries its own `accountId` (fixing the previous shared-object reuse), and both the create + key-validation paths receive it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/bulk-api-key-parser-cloudflare.test.ts`. (thanks @muflifadla38)
+- **feat(dashboard):** routing/settings UX clarity ([#6147](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6147)) — (1) weighted combos show the **effective routing share %** next to each weight when weights don't sum to 100 (`WeightTotalBar.tsx`); (2) the status widget's user-facing **"Cloud Sync" label is renamed** to "Remote Settings Sync" (`CloudSyncStatus.tsx`; internal ids/state untouched); (3) built-in providers gain an **opt-in advanced base-URL override** (`isBaseUrlOverrideEligibleProvider`, hidden behind an "Advanced" toggle, reusing the existing `providerSpecificData.baseUrl` persistence — not globally widened). Regression guard: `tests/unit/routing-settings-ux-6147.test.ts`.
+- **feat(combo):** add an option to **disable session stickiness**, per-combo or globally — round-robin / random combos can rotate to a different connection on every request instead of pinning a whole conversation to one connection by its first-message hash. Resolution precedence per-combo `config.disableSessionStickiness` → global `settings.disableSessionStickiness` → default `false` (preserves the #3825 prompt-cache/504 fix); gates **both** stickiness call sites in `open-sse/services/combo.ts`. Exposed as a global toggle (Combo Defaults) and a per-combo Inherit/on/off control. ([#6168](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6168)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-disable-session-stickiness.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+- **feat(docker):** add the `OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO` env flag for root-less / user-namespaced deployments — the MITM cert-trust command path (`resolveSudoSpawn` in `src/mitm/systemCommands.ts`) now strips the leading `sudo` when the flag is truthy, in addition to the existing root / sudo-missing cases, so the Proxy Agent runs without `sudo` (the operator trusts the CA manually, e.g. via `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`). Argv-array `spawn` preserved — no shell interpolation (Hard Rule #13). ([#6122](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6122)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-systemCommands-no-sudo.test.ts`. (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Requesty** as an OpenAI-compatible gateway provider (BYOK, base `https://router.requesty.ai/v1`, ~200 free requests/day) — wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/requesty/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/gateways.ts`). ([#6120](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6120)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/requesty-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add **configured-only / available-only filters** to the Free Provider Rankings page ([#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150)) — hide providers you haven't configured, or whose connections are all rate-limited / out of quota, via server-side query params (`?configuredOnly` / `?availableOnly` on `GET /api/free-provider-rankings`) backed by a testable lib helper reusing the in-process connection state (no Redis). Both filters default off, so the default view is unchanged; this supersedes the earlier client-side "Configured Only" toggle (#6245) with an available-only dimension and unit-tested logic. Regression guard: `tests/unit/freeProviderRankings-filters.test.ts`.
+- **feat(rankings):** add a **'Configured Only'** filter to the Free Provider Rankings page, so the table can be narrowed to just the providers you have configured connections for (with an empty-state hint when none are configured). New `en.json` keys and a pure filter helper covered by `tests/unit/free-provider-rankings-configured-filter.test.ts`. ([#6245](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6245), closes [#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150) — thanks @Iammilansoni)
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the test suite and CI can never mutate the OS trust store again — `OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1` (set by the global test setup and all CI workflows) makes `installCert`/`uninstallCert`/`installTproxyCa` skip the privileged OS dispatch while preserving the #4546 environment-skip contract. Root cause of the self-hosted runner incident: a cert-flow integration test installed a 105-byte fake PEM into `/usr/local/share/ca-certificates`, breaking ALL system TLS on the VM. Regression guard: `tests/unit/system-trust-test-guard.test.ts`. ([#6310](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6310))
+- **fix(security):** `/api/keys/{id}/devices` answers a clean method-first **405** for undocumented HTTP methods (e.g. the new `QUERY`) via a dedicated `http-method-guard` rule — the auth layer was answering 401 first, failing schemathesis's unsupported-methods check. Same pattern as the v3.8.44 TRACE fix. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dast-method-not-allowed.test.ts`.
+- **fix(combo):** the #6216 empty-stream failover is restricted to **truly empty bodies** (zero bytes — the Gemini HTTP-200-empty case), restoring the #3399/#3685 pass-through contracts for `[DONE]`-terminated empty streams and incomplete Claude lifecycles. New guard: `#5976 truly EMPTY streaming body → invalid for combo failover` (87/87 across both suites).
+- **fix(combo):** 5 streaming-path fixes — locked-stream 500, error-frame-only-if-no-content, Gemini `MALFORMED_RESPONSE`→content_filter failover, correlationId substring search, per-model-500 lockout skip + request-logger UI detail. Maintainer follow-up: `releaseQualityClone` cancels the abandoned quality-check tee branch (per-request memory) + regression test. ([#6216](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6216) — thanks @hartmark)
+- **fix(skills):** generate the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry (the #6186 catalog addition never ran the generator — 8 integration assertions split between old/new counts) and align the agent-skills catalog counts across integration + unit suites (43 = 23 API + 20 CLI; 44 with config).
+- **fix(a2a):** finish the #6186 catalog-count update — `listCapabilities` metadata reported `coverage.api.total: 22` (type literal + value) and `SkillCoverageSchema` pinned `z.literal(22)`, so the schema would REJECT the correct runtime value with 23 API skills. All three aligned to 23.
+- **fix(github-skills):** add a missing import, unit tests and a settings JSON-parse fix for the GitHub agent-skill discovery/import flow. ([#6186](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6186) — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/github-skills` validates its body with a Zod schema (`validateBody`) instead of blind `request.json()` destructuring — a non-array `targets` would crash `.map`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/github-skills-route-validation.test.ts`.
+- **fix(docker):** add `id=` to the BuildKit cache mounts so strict builders (e.g. buildkitd with strict frontend parsing) accept the Dockerfile. ([#6291](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6291) — thanks @karimalsalah)
+- **fix(oauth):** register `zed` in the OAuth `PROVIDERS` map (fixes "Unknown provider" on the Zed sign-in flow) ([#6078](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6078) — thanks @anki1kr), and align `zed` in `OAUTH_PROVIDER_IDS` + the config enum after the merge.
+- **fix(doubao-web):** switch the Doubao web provider to the Dola global endpoint. ([#6235](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6235) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(doctor):** resolve two false-positive WARNs in the doctor diagnostics ([#6163](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6163), closes [#6162](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6162) — thanks @arssnndr)
+- **fix(providers):** refresh the GitHub Copilot model catalog to the current upstream set. ([#6154](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6154) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(providers):** correct the Kiro model catalog to real upstream ids — fabricated `claude-opus-4.7`/`claude-sonnet-4.6` entries removed, real `claude-sonnet-5`/`claude-sonnet-4.5`/`claude-haiku-4.5` kept. ([#6170](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6170))
+- **feat(sse):** surface Kiro adaptive-thinking reasoning frames as `reasoning_content` in the OpenAI-shaped stream. ([#6213](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6213) — thanks @VXNCXNX)
+- **fix(cli):** use `OMNIROUTE_SERVER_HOST` instead of the POSIX auto-set `HOSTNAME` for the bind address (fixes wrong bind on POSIX shells that export HOSTNAME). ([#6195](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6195), closes [#6194](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6194) — thanks @Theadd)
+- **feat(provider):** add Claude 5 Sonnet to the Claude Web provider catalog. ([#6209](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6209), closes [#6200](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6200) — thanks @Iammilansoni)
+- **fix(providers):** add `nvidia` to `PROVIDER_TOOL_LIMITS` (1536) to prevent silent tool-list truncation. ([#6177](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6177) — thanks @LuisAlejandroVega)
+- **fix(translator):** strip the `reasoning` param for nvidia `z-ai/glm-5.2` (upstream 400s on it). ([#6181](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6181) — thanks @kanztu)
+- **fix(dashboard):** providers page gains a data-timeout guard and the live-WS standalone wiring (no more indefinite spinner when the data fetch stalls). ([#6211](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6211))
+- **fix(sse):** surface the ChatGPT-web image silent-drop as an accurate error instead of an empty success. ([#6208](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6208))
+- **fix(cline):** force upstream streaming for Cline/ClinePass (streaming-only API) — non-stream client requests are served from the buffered SSE. ([#6165](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6165))
+- **fix(dashboard):** remove the always-on Auto-Routing (combo) banner from the home page — it did not reflect live routing state and reappeared on every fresh browser. Replacement guard: `tests/unit/home-no-autorouting-banner.test.ts`. ([#6164](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6164))
+- **fix(dashboard):** stop a model-test error from freezing the page (React #31 object-as-child toast) — errors go through `extractApiErrorMessage`. ([#6161](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6161))
+- **fix(oauth):** extract the keychain-import-only guard to its own module, restoring the oauth file-size freeze. ([#6158](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6158))
+
+- **fix(sse):** strip zero-width markers from streamed **tool-call arguments** — a follow-up to [#5857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5857). That PR removed injected zero-width joiners (U+200D) from streamed assistant text/reasoning but deliberately left tool-call argument JSON byte-exact. The request-side obfuscation (`open-sse/services/claudeCodeObfuscation.ts`) injects ZWJ into agent words — including the temp path inside the Bash tool description — and Claude models copy that verbatim into generated commands, which are delivered as tool-call arguments rather than assistant text. As a result the ZWJ survived and corrupted code blocks (e.g. a temp path rendered with an invisible joiner). Now `open-sse/handlers/responseSanitizer.ts` strips zero-width code points from tool-call argument strings at every emit site (OpenAI non-stream/stream chat `tool_calls` + legacy `function_call`, native Responses `function_call` items, the OpenAI→Responses conversion, and the native Responses streaming `response.function_call_arguments.delta/.done` events). Only zero-width code points are removed; JSON structure and all other bytes stay identical (no parse/restringify), so normal arguments remain byte-exact. Regression guard: 6 new cases in `tests/unit/response-sanitizer.test.ts` (suite 50/50).
+
+- **fix(nodejs):** the default app log path now resolves under `DATA_DIR` (`~/.omniroute/logs/application/app.log`) instead of `process.cwd()` ([#6197](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6197)) — the globally-installed CLI runs from an arbitrary working directory, so anchoring the default to cwd made file logging silently write to (or no-op under) an unrelated directory, contradicting the documented `.env.example` default. `getAppLogFilePath()` now computes the default lazily via the pure `resolveDataDir()` resolver (honours a per-process `DATA_DIR`, no directory-creation side effect); an explicit `APP_LOG_FILE_PATH` still wins. Regression guard: `tests/unit/logenv-datadir-path-6197.test.ts` (3). (root cause independently diagnosed by @subhansh-dev in [#6298](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6298) — thanks!)
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge/`startMitm` no longer aborts in containers/headless when the Antigravity-default DNS step can't write `/etc/hosts` ([#6127](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6127)), and the privileged command's stderr now reaches `app.log` instead of only a bare exit code hitting the toast ([#6198](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6198)). The default DNS step (`addDNSEntry`) was called unguarded while cert install and the two sibling DNS steps were each best-effort — in the runtime Docker image (`USER node`, no `sudo`, read-only `/etc/hosts`) it threw `Command failed with code 1` out of `startMitmInternal` and killed the whole start, discarding the stderr. The three DNS steps are extracted into a best-effort `provisionDnsEntries()` where each failure is logged with the full `err` (stderr included, folded in by `systemCommands.ts`) and never aborts the start. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-dns-graceful-degrade-6127.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** copilot-m365-web now supports the M365 Education "Starter / OfficeWebIncludedCopilot" tier and no longer returns an empty `content:null` stream ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)). Two gaps: (1) `buildWsUrl()` hardcoded the individual-consumer scenario (`OfficeWebPaidConsumerCopilot`, `isEdu=false`) — the EDU tier is now opt-in via `providerSpecificData.tier="edu"`, emitting `scenario=OfficeWebIncludedCopilot`/`isEdu=true` (the individual path is unchanged); (2) the EDU/GPT-5.5 path streams deltas via `arguments[0].writeAtCursor` (incremental) instead of only `messages[].text` (accumulated snapshots), which the parser dropped — a new `accumulateBotContent()` folds both formats, with `type:2 item.result.message` as a last-resort fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-edu-writeatcursor-6210.test.ts` (10). (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo executor now feeds tool results back into the prompt instead of looping ([#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)) — `buildPrompt()` branched only on `system`/`user` and took `userParts.at(-1)`, silently dropping the `assistant{tool_calls}` + `tool{result}` turns the client appended, so the reconstructed prompt was byte-identical to turn 1 and the model re-emitted the same `<tool>` call forever. When a tool exchange is present the full conversation is now serialized, folding each tool result back keyed by its `tool_call_id`; simple conversations keep the legacy shape. Complements the tool_call emission from [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051) (the `kilo-duplicate` label was a false positive — different, sequential defect). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-result-feedback-6220.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** opencode-go/opencode-zen can now synthesize the OpenCode CLI identity headers Cloudflare requires on VPS egress ([#5997](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5997)) — on a datacenter VPS, `opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/chat/completions` 403s (HTML challenge) requests lacking CLI identity, while the reporter's control curl proved that `User-Agent: opencode-cli/1.0.0` + `x-opencode-client: cli` + `x-opencode-project: default` + fresh request/session UUIDs succeed. Opt-in via `OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS=true` (values overridable via `OPENCODE_GO_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_CLIENT`/`OPENCODE_PROJECT`); it fills only headers the client did not already send. Kept **off by default** — the forward-only path is deliberate (fabricating a wrong value risks upstream rejection; a prior dedup regressed with `opencode/local`), so this replaces the fragile local header-injection shim without changing default behavior. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-cli-headers-synthesis-5997.test.ts` (6). (thanks @aleksesipenko)
+- fix(resilience): sticky session affinity now evicts and fails over to another account when the pinned account is exhausted/unavailable (#6219)
+
+- fix(sse): Responses API passthrough now drops internal commentary-phase output before forwarding to clients (gated by RESPONSES_PASSTHROUGH_DROP_COMMENTARY, default on) (#6199)
+
+- **fix(proxy):** stop the v3.8.44 proxy regression that leaked the real IP and disabled healthy proxies ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Two coupled defects from the new health scheduler: (1) **IP leak** — when a proxy assigned to a connection was marked `inactive`, resolution fell through to a **direct** egress instead of blocking, exposing the operator's real IP; (2) **over-deactivation** — the sweep flipped a proxy to `inactive` on the **first** failed probe and counted our own 5s timeout / a probe-target `5xx` as the proxy's fault, so healthy paid proxies vanished from egress selection ("my proxies are not being used anymore"). Fix: the sweep decision is extracted into a pure, network-free `decideProxyHealthAction` (`src/lib/proxyHealth/decision.ts`) — by default the health check now **only counts/logs and never downgrades status** (a proxy is downgraded/removed only with `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE=true`, after `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE_AFTER` **consecutive** conclusive failures); probes are classified tri-state so an inconclusive result (our timeout, or a `5xx` from the probe target) never penalizes the proxy, and the probe timeout is raised 5s→15s. Separately, `safeResolveProxy` now **fails closed** via the existing policy: a connection whose assigned proxy is dead is blocked instead of leaking direct (`hasBlockingProxyAssignment`), honoring the explicit `proxy off` toggles and the `PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true` opt-out. Existing proxies stuck `inactive` by the old behavior need a one-time manual re-activate (the operator owns proxy status). Regression guards: `tests/unit/proxy-health-decide-action-6246.test.ts`, `tests/unit/proxy-assigned-unavailable-6246.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(proxy):** make "Test All" read-only and add bulk enable/disable ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Complements the core fail-closed / scheduler fix (#6296) with the two remaining reporter asks. (1) The **"Test All" button** (`POST /api/settings/proxies/auto-test`) used to flip a proxy to `inactive` on a failed reachability probe; since the egress selector excludes `inactive` proxies, a flaky probe (an unreachable `httpbin.org`, a proxy that blocks `HEAD`, or a slow paid proxy) silently disabled every proxy that failed — "Test All" is now **read-only by default** (only the operator sets a proxy active/inactive; opt back into the legacy test-and-set with `PROXY_HEALTH_AUTO_DEACTIVATE=true`). (2) Adds a **bulk enable/disable** proxies endpoint + toolbar action (`POST /api/settings/proxies/batch-activate`) so an operator can re-activate proxies in one click. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-health-6246.test.ts`. (thanks @tenshiak)
+
+- **chatcore (tools): stop the default 128-tool cap from silently dropping opencode's `task`/MCP tools.** opencode (used as an MCP/agent host) sends a large tool list; when it exceeds the speculative `MAX_TOOLS_LIMIT` (128) default, `truncateToolList` did a blind `tools.slice(0, 128)`, dropping every tool past index 128 — including opencode's built-in `task` tool (subagent launch) and many MCP tools, so models routed through OmniRoute could no longer spawn subagents or reach part of their tools. The cap exists to avoid upstream `400`s for providers with real hard limits (e.g. grok-cli 200), so it is kept for those: detection of the opencode client (`isOpencodeClient` — any `x-opencode-*` header, or `opencode` in the user-agent) now only bypasses the **speculative 128 default**, never a known provider ceiling. Precedence is explicit — a proactive/detected provider limit always truncates (even for opencode); otherwise opencode forwards its full tool list; otherwise the unchanged 128 default applies to every other client. Refactors `getEffectiveToolLimit` into `getKnownToolLimit(provider) ?? DEFAULT_LIMIT` (byte-identical for existing callers) and fixes a cosmetic debug-log that reported the truncated count instead of the original. Regression guard: `tests/unit/tool-limit-detector.test.ts`. ([#6193](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6193) — thanks @DKotsyuba)
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the macOS MITM-cert install check now matches the system keychain again. `security find-certificate -a -Z` prints the SHA-1 as a colon-less hex string, but the installed-check compared it against `getCertFingerprint()`'s colon-separated form, so the substring match never hit — the cert was reported as not-installed and re-prompted for the sudo install on every run. Fingerprints are now normalized (colons stripped, upper-cased) on both sides via the extracted `macCertOutputHasFingerprint` helper. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-cert-mac-fingerprint.test.ts`. ([#6204](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6204), closes [#6134](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6134) — thanks @rianonehub)
+
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/messages/count_tokens` now counts `tool_use`, `tool_result` and `thinking` content blocks (and array-form `system` prompts) in the local-estimation path, instead of only `text`. Real agentic conversations keep ~95% of their tokens inside tool results; the previous estimate returned near-zero for them, which silently broke Claude Code's auto-compaction (context grew past the window with no compaction until the upstream API rejected the request). The real provider-side count path is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/messages-count-tokens-route.test.ts`. ([#6221](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6221) — thanks @luweiCN)
+
+- **fix(antigravity):** strip a trailing assistant prefill turn for Vertex Claude models to avoid upstream 400s ([#6114](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6114)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-claude-prefill-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(security):** the mutable cloud-agent routes (`/api/cloud/credentials/update`, `/api/cloud/models/alias`) now require management auth instead of being treated as public. They were classified as public API routes, so a request without management credentials could update stored cloud-agent credentials and model aliases. They are removed from the public-route set, classified as management routes in the authz pipeline, and gated by `requireManagementAuth`; cloud **read**/auth routes stay public. Regression guards: `tests/unit/cloud-write-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts`, `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6233](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6233) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+
+- **refactor(dashboard):** extract the onboarding-wizard "Open provider details" link target into a pure, unit-tested `buildProviderDetailsHref(connection)` helper. The wizard already routes by `connection.id` (the node UUID) rather than the provider category slug (#6144/#6145); this hardens that behavior behind a tested helper that guards a missing id/connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-onboarding-href.test.ts`. ([#6166](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6166) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(api):** relay worker now binds the SSRF guard to a stable `const` name so minified standalone (Docker) builds resolve it ([#6149](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6149)) — the Vercel/Deno relay generators embedded the shared `resolveRelayTarget` guard as a bare `${fn.toString()}` declaration while the worker body called the hardcoded literal name; SWC minification mangled the source function's name, so the deployed worker defined `<mangled>` but still called `resolveRelayTarget` → `ReferenceError`. Both templates now emit `const resolveRelayTarget = ${fn.toString()};` (the const name is a template literal, immune to minification). Regression guard: `tests/unit/relay-minified-fn-6149.test.ts` (4). (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **fix(providers):** refresh the stale NVIDIA NIM model registry — drop EOL `z-ai/glm-5.1`, add `z-ai/glm-5.2` and `nvidia/nemotron-3-ultra-550b-a55b` ([#6108](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6108)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-nim-registry-6108.test.ts`. (thanks @andrea-kingautomation)
+- **fix(backend):** GPT-family (codex) models now report a distinct `max_input_tokens` (272000) below their 400K `context_length` via an optional `maxInputTokens` on `RegistryModel`, so coding agents auto-compact correctly instead of overflowing the real input cap ([#6191](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6191)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gpt-max-input-tokens-6191.test.ts`. (thanks @luweiCN)
+- **fix(backend):** call logs now record a **reasoning source/char-count** (migration 116, `reasoning_source`/`reasoning_chars`) for models that emit `reasoning_content`/`<think>` but report zero reasoning tokens in usage, so `tokens_reasoning` no longer silently under-represents reasoning — cost math is unchanged (the priced `tokens_reasoning` stays usage-derived) ([#6187](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6187)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/reasoning-token-source-6187.test.ts`. (thanks @andrea-kingautomation)
+- **fix(auth):** a stale/changed `STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY` now surfaces as a clear **424 `storage_encryption_stale`** ("re-enter the API key") instead of a misleading "Auth failed: 401" — the connection's ciphertext failed to decrypt and was coerced to an empty Bearer, hiding the real cause ([#6148](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6148)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/decrypt-stale-key-hint-6148.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(backend):** memory injection now keeps the injected system message **first** for providers that require it (via a `PROVIDERS_SYSTEM_MUST_BE_FIRST` capability), instead of the cache-safe mid-array splice that made strict providers reject the request with a 400 ([#6135](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6135)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/memory-system-first-6135.test.ts`.
+- **fix(services):** 9Router embed panel no longer 404s (optional catch-all route) and the supervisor probes the port before spawning to avoid raw EADDRINUSE ([#6205](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6205)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/ninerouter-embed-port-6205.test.ts`, `tests/unit/services/ServiceSupervisor.test.ts`. (thanks @jonlwheat2-gif)
+- fix(mcp): forward the MCP request `extra` context through static tool loops so stdio callers keep their scope/identity ([#6178](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6178))
+
+### ⚡ Performance & Infrastructure
+
+- **perf(test):** test-suite loader quick wins ([#6214](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6214)) — the 19 test scripts switch `--import tsx` → `--import tsx/esm` (the repo is pure ESM; the unused CJS hook cost ~1.3s per test process × 2,462 processes — CI fast-path unit shards dropped 14.8→7.5 min, −49%), tsx bumped to ^4.23.0 (tsx#809 startup-regression fix), **37 orphan `.test.mjs` files (224 cases) recovered** into the canonical glob (they matched no runner and never ran in any CI job; `check:test-discovery` now scans `.mjs` too), and ci.yml/quality.yml unit jobs now call the canonical npm script `test:unit:ci:shard` (single source of truth — closes two silent drifts: missing `setupPolyfill` import in CI and `memory/`+`usage/` dirs absent from the fast-path glob). `tests/unit/dashboard/**` keeps the full tsx hook in its own invocation (`@lobehub/icons` es/ build internally `require()`s ESM-syntax files).
+- **ci:** heavy-pipeline dedup ([#6215](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6215)) — the release-PR pipeline ran the unit suite 4× per sync (95 jobs, 208 machine-min; the v3.8.44 cycle fired 123 such runs, 88 cancelled). Now: Node 24/26 compat matrices move to a daily `nightly-compat.yml` (−28%/run; resolves the active release branch, opens a tracking issue on failure), coverage is collected inside the unit shards themselves via c8/`NODE_V8_COVERAGE` (−18%/run; the Coverage Shard ×8 matrix is gone — nodejs/node's own CI pattern), the ~40-job per-language i18n matrix becomes 1 job (the account has 20 concurrent-job slots total), and heavy jobs skip **draft** PRs — paired with `/generate-release` now opening the living release PR as draft (flipped ready at the new Phase 0a.0a), killing the per-merge churn for the whole cycle. Validated by a full `workflow_dispatch` of the new pipeline: 35 jobs, 0 failures, 23 min, merged coverage 80.16% (> ratchet baseline).
+- **feat(quality):** no-new-warnings per PR ([#6218](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6218)) — native ESLint bulk suppressions (≥9.24) freeze the pre-existing debt (476 files / 4,273 violations in `config/quality/eslint-suppressions.json`); `npm run lint`, lint-staged (pre-commit) and a new fork-aware `lint-guard` job in quality.yml all run suppressions-aware, so a NEW warning goes red in the PR that introduces it instead of accruing invisibly (+41/+88 per cycle) and being blind-rebaselined at release. 3 warn rules promoted to error in `src/**` (`react-hooks/exhaustive-deps`, `@next/next/no-img-element`, `import/no-anonymous-default-export`); `collect-metrics` measures under the frozen baseline (ratchet metric = net-NEW debt; baseline tightened 4,279→0 in-PR per require-tighten); fork PRs run report-only (contributors are never blocked — the maintainer campaigns fix via co-authorship). Baseline stock shrinks via `--prune-suppressions` at release reconciliation.
+- **ci:** test jobs no longer wait on the Build gate ([#6275](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6275)) — `test-unit`×8, `vitest`, `integration`×2 and `security` declared `needs: build` but never download the `next-build` artifact; they now start at minute 0 (`needs: changes`, same `if` as Build), cutting ~15–20 min of wall-clock per heavy run. `e2e`/`package-artifact`/`electron-smoke` keep `needs: build` (they consume the artifact for real).
+- **ci(build):** the ci.yml Build job compiles Next.js with **Turbopack** (`OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=1`) ([#6273](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6273)) — Build job 20 min → **6 min 59 s (~2.9×)** on ubuntu-latest; the webpack `actions/cache` step is removed. Validated end-to-end pre-merge via `gh workflow run ci.yml --ref <branch>`.
+- **feat(build):** **Turbopack becomes the default bundler** for `next build` and `next dev` ([#6283](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6283)) — `build-next-isolated.mjs`, `run-next.mjs` and the playwright-runner default to Turbopack; `OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=0` is the explicit webpack escape hatch. `nightly-compat.yml`/`npm-publish.yml` inherit the default. Regression guard: `tests/unit/build-bundler-default-turbopack.test.ts`.
+- **feat(docker):** the Docker image builds with Turbopack (`ENV OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=1`) ([#6285](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6285)) — the v3.8.27 ImportTracer panic ("unreachable: there must be a path to a root") does **not** reproduce on Next 16.2.9: amd64 (659 s) and arm64 (qemu) build clean, 0 panics, smoke health 200.
+- **ci:** opt-in **self-hosted VPS runners for the release window** ([#6284](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6284)) — `scripts/vps/release-runner-up.sh`/`down.sh` manage the runner VM, and `build`/`test-unit`/`vitest` pick a dynamic `runs-on` gated by `vars.USE_VPS_RUNNER == 'true'` **and** own-origin (fork PRs never reach self-hosted runners). Wired into `/generate-release` (VM up at Phase 1, mandatory down at Phase 3).
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **quality(release-green):** full pre-flight hardening for this release — the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors typed/fixed and `validate-release-green` made suppressions-aware with per-gate logs (`_artifacts/release-green/`) and a `--hermetic` mode; test-masking allowlist entries for the cycle's verified-legitimate assert reductions; stale ESLint suppressions pruned (4,273 → 4,233); the 7 net-new `as any` casts from #6292 typed; `githubSkillTools` MCP errors routed through `sanitizeErrorMessage()`; `combo-provider-cooldown-sibling` added to the Stryker tap set; executors/env docs count fixes.
+- **ci(quality):** merge-integrity fast-gates per PR — `check:changelog-integrity` (no base CHANGELOG bullet may vanish in the merge result — the auto-resolve "CHANGELOG-eat" pattern) and `check:agent-skills-sync` (generated SKILL.md ≡ catalog), blocking for own-origin branches and report-only for forks (Princípio Zero). ([#6300](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6300))
+- **ci(vps):** hermetic `nightly-release-green` pre-flight on the dedicated `omni-release` self-hosted runner (dynamic `runs-on`, clean env); e2e/integration/electron stay on hosted runners (per-VM port collision + concurrent artifact-download limits documented in the PR). ([#6305](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6305))
+- **chore(quality):** v3.8.45 cycle-close drift rebaselines — file-size (13 files grown by merged cycle PRs), cognitive 867→877, cyclomatic 2028→2035, kiro-translator test debt from #6213; all with dated justification keys.
+- **docs(architecture):** sync stale DB-layer counts (45+/55 → 95+/110+) in REPOSITORY_MAP, the db-schema diagram and llm.txt (+42 i18n mirrors). ([#6167](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6167))
+- **chore(release):** parallel-cycle flow — `sync-next-cycle.mjs` + Hard Rule #21 semantics ([#6203](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6203)); v3.8.45 development cycle opened.
+- **i18n(it):** add 118 missing Italian (`it`) translations (net-additive — no existing keys dropped, valid JSON), improving Italian UI coverage. ([#6212](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6212) — thanks @serverless83)
+- **chore(providers):** remove deprecated **MiMo V2** model entries from the catalogs (xiaomi-mimo, opencode-go, zenmux-free, audio TTS) — the upstream V2 line is superseded by MiMo V2.5; drops `mimo-v2-tts`, `mimo-v2-pro`, `mimo-v2-omni`, `mimo-v2-flash`, `mimo-v2-flash-free` and realigns the provider-catalog tests. ([#6248](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6248) — thanks @backryun)

+## [3.8.44] — TBD
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(resilience):** throttle upstream quota fetches on the per-request preflight path ([#6009](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6009)) — a new global min-interval gate (`open-sse/services/quotaFetchThrottle.ts`) spaces the actual network calls made by the Codex quota fetcher so that many accounts on one IP no longer fetch quota in the same second (which, per `router-for-me/CLIProxyAPI#2385`, can get a Codex OAuth token revoked). Complements the existing bulk-sync spacing (`PROVIDER_LIMITS_SYNC_SPACING_MS`) which already serialized the periodic provider-limits sync — this covers the concurrent combo/preflight path it didn't. Cache hits are never delayed; fail-open (only ever awaits a timer). Configurable via `OMNIROUTE_QUOTA_FETCH_MIN_INTERVAL_MS` (default 250ms, clamped 0..5000; `0` disables). Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-fetch-throttle-6009.test.ts` (5). (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(autoCombo):** add **per-request Auto-Combo controls** via two headers ([#6024](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6024) / [#6025](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6025) / [#6023](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6023)) — `X-OmniRoute-Mode` steers an `auto` combo's scoring for a single request (friendly presets `fast`/`balanced`/`quality`/`cheap`/`reliable`/`offline` **or** a raw mode-pack name; `balanced` forces the default weights), and `X-OmniRoute-Budget` sets a hard per-request USD cost ceiling. Both override the combo's stored config only for the request that carries them; unknown/garbage values are ignored so the saved config is preserved. The resolvers are pure (`open-sse/services/autoCombo/requestControls.ts`) and feed the engine's existing `config.modePack` / `config.budgetCap` inputs — no engine changes. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auto-combo-request-controls-6024.test.ts` (5). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add the **Kenari** OpenAI-compatible gateway (BYOK). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kenari.test.ts`. (thanks @doedja)
+- **feat(models):** add `claude-sonnet-5` to the Antigravity model catalog (alias mapping in `antigravityModelAliases.ts`) ([#6103](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6103)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-model-aliases.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+- **feat(api):** add `/v1/ocr` endpoint (Mistral OCR), an OCR provider category, and Mistral moderation support. ([#5950](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5950)) (thanks @waguriagentic)
+- **Discovery tool (Phase 2):** add the `discoveryResults` DB module (CRUD over the `discovery_results` table, migration 074) and wire the opt-in provider-discovery service to persist and read findings through it (`persistDiscoveryResult`, `getDiscoveryResults`, `getDiscoveryResultById`, `markVerified`, `deleteDiscoveryResult`) with `(provider, method, endpoint)` upsert de-duplication. Adds the `/api/discovery/*` HTTP surface — `GET /results`, `GET|DELETE /results/:id`, `POST /scan`, `POST /verify/:id` — under **strict loopback-only** authorization (`/api/discovery/` is in `LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` and is NOT manage-scope-bypassable, so the `scan` route's outbound probes can never be reached from a tunnel/remote origin). Adds a **dashboard UI tab** (Tools → Discovery, `/dashboard/discovery`) to run scans and review, verify, or delete findings. The service stays **opt-in / default-off**. ([#5939](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5939))
+- **feat(api):** expose a read-only provider plugin manifest at `GET /api/v1/provider-plugin-manifest` for sidecar/relay discovery. ([#6001](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6001)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(sidecar):** advertise the provider manifest URL to Bifrost/CLIProxyAPI via the `X-OmniRoute-Provider-Manifest-Url` header (`OMNIROUTE_PROVIDER_MANIFEST_URL`). ([#6007](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6007)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(autoCombo):** add a latency/speed-optimized routing mode (shared `rankBySpeed` scoring core) plus the `omniroute_pick_fastest_model` MCP tool. ([#6011](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6011)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(providers):** refresh The Old LLM (Free) model catalog ([#5181](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5181)) — seed the current free `/api/chatgpt` tier (GPT-5/5.1/5.2/5.3/5.4, o3/o4-mini, Gemini 3 Pro / 2.5 Pro / 2.0 Flash / 1.5 Flash, Claude 4.6 Opus/Sonnet & 4.5 Haiku, GPT-4o, Grok 4, DeepSeek V3/R1, Sonar Pro) while keeping the legacy alias IDs for saved-preference compatibility. Also fixes a latent routing bug: `mapModel()` now passes known upstream IDs through unchanged, so Gemini/o-series/Grok/DeepSeek/Sonar models no longer silently collapse onto `GPT_5_4`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/theoldllm-model-refresh-5181.test.ts`. (thanks @WslzGmzs)
+- **feat(resilience):** surface Codex **banked reset credits** per connected account ([#5199](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5199)) — the Codex quota parsers (`buildCodexUsageQuotas`, `parseCodexUsageResponse`) now additively read `rate_limit_reset_credits.available_count` (+ optional `rate_limit_reached_type`) from the `/wham/usage` payload OmniRoute already fetches, and the provider-limits dashboard renders a **"Banked Reset Credits"** row when a positive count is present. Display-only and **fail-open** — the field is eligibility-gated, so accounts without it are unaffected (parsers never throw on absent/garbage shapes); redemption (an unofficial mutating endpoint) is intentionally out of scope. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-banked-reset-credits-5199.test.ts` (8). (thanks @ofekbetzalel)
+- **feat(providers):** add sign-up geo-restriction notices for **SenseNova** and **StepFun** ([#5462](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5462)) — the provider add-form now warns that SenseNova's console appears to require a Chinese (+86) phone number with no documented international path, and that StepFun's default endpoint is its China platform while a global StepFun Open Platform (`platform.stepfun.ai`, operated by Sparkling AI Pte. Ltd., Singapore) with email/Google/Discord login exists for international users. Informational `notice` only — neither provider is disabled. Regression guard: `tests/unit/regional-provider-cn-notices-5462.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(usage):** add on-demand period-scoped usage-data reset (Settings → System Storage) with a purge API and time-window selector. ([#5831](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5831))
+- **feat(claude-code):** add an opt-in auto-permission classifier compat mode (off/auto/always) for Claude Code, toggleable from the CLI Code settings. ([#5810](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5810))
+- **feat(providers):** add optional client-identity header profiles for compatible nodes — preset User-Agent/fingerprint headers (e.g. matching a known CLI) merged into the existing customHeaders field. ([#5812](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5812))
+- **feat(build):** add a backend-only fast build mode (`scripts/build/build-next-isolated.mjs` + `backendOnlyPages.mjs`) that skips compiling the dashboard frontend pages, cutting local/CI build time for backend-only changes. ([#6119](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6119) — thanks @artickc)
+- **feat(minimax):** extract MiniMax M3's raw `<think>...</think>` leakage into `reasoning_content` on the 8 OpenAI-format provider tiers, leaving the Claude-format `minimax`/`minimax-cn` tiers untouched (they already report reasoning correctly). ([#6073](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6073) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(services):** promote **Bifrost** (`@maximhq/bifrost` — Go AI-gateway) from an env-only relay sidecar to a first-class embedded/supervised service, matching the existing cliproxy/9router model — installer, bootstrap `SERVICES[]` entry, migration 113 DB seed, 7 lifecycle API routes under `/api/services/bifrost/` (loopback-only), a dashboard tab, and relay auto-wiring that defaults `BIFROST_BASE_URL` to the supervised port when running. Implements item #2 of #5670; the broader RouterBackend contract (items #1, #3-#5) stays out of scope. ([#5817](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5817), part of [#5670](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5670))
+- **feat(services):** add **Mux** (`coder/mux` — local agent-orchestration daemon) as a fourth-tier embedded service on the existing `ServiceSupervisor` framework — npm-based installer, `bootstrap.ts` registration, migration 113 DB seed, 7 lifecycle API routes under `/api/services/mux/` (loopback-only, defense-in-depth bind to 127.0.0.1), and a dashboard tab reusing the shared service-management components. ([#6034](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6034))
+- **feat(xai):** surface Grok/xAI usage on the quota dashboard via local `usageHistory` aggregation (`getXaiUsage`) — since xAI exposes no per-account quota API, this sums tokens routed to the connection from `usage_history` and reports them as a cumulative, uncapped quota, mirroring the existing Xiaomi MiMo self-track pattern. ([#5806](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5806))
+- **feat(minimax):** extract MiniMax M3's raw `<think>...</think>` tags into a separate `reasoning_content` field on the 8 provider tiers that register M3 with `format:"openai"` (trae, huggingchat, bazaarlink, ollama-cloud, opencode, cline, opencode-zen, codebuddy-cn) — previously the thinking text leaked directly into `content`. Reuses the existing `extractThinkingFromContent` primitive, extending its allowlist with a minimax-m3-only pattern; the two direct minimax/minimax-cn tiers are untouched since they already surface reasoning natively over Anthropic's Messages format. (Inspired by 9router#2231.) ([#6050](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6050) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(i18n):** auto-detect the browser language on first visit — a pure `detectBrowserLocale()` matcher (exact match, `zh-HK`/`zh-MO` folded to `zh-TW`, language-prefix match, else `null`) plus a client-only `LocaleAutoDetect` component mounted once in the root layout. When no locale cookie is set yet, it reads `navigator.languages`, computes a match against the supported locales, and persists it via the same cookie/localStorage writer `LanguageSelector` already used (extracted to `shared/lib/persistLocale.ts`). (Inspired by 9router#1324.) ([#5979](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5979))
+- **feat(cli-tools):** add **CodeWhale** — the actively-maintained successor to DeepSeek TUI (same author, renamed project) — as a dual dashboard entry alongside the existing "deepseek-tui" catalog entry, so existing DeepSeek TUI users keep a working card while new users are steered to CodeWhale. New `/api/cli-tools/codewhale-settings` route writes `~/.codewhale/config.toml` and keeps the legacy `~/.deepseek/config.toml` in sync. (Inspired by 9router#1761.) ([#5996](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5996))
+- **feat(server):** support reverse-proxy `basePath` deployment via a new opt-in `OMNIROUTE_BASE_PATH` env var (empty by default), using Next.js's native `basePath` support so a deployment behind a reverse-proxy subpath (e.g. `https://host/omniroute/`) works without manual header stripping; the two hardcoded auth-redirect targets in `src/server/authz/pipeline.ts` now prefix with `request.nextUrl.basePath`. Default empty basePath is a no-op for existing root-path deployments. (Inspired by 9router#1810.) ([#5992](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5992))
+- **feat(providers):** add **SumoPod** (`ai.sumopod.com`) and **X5Lab** (`api.x5lab.dev`) OpenAI-compatible BYOK aggregator gateways, wired via the default executor with bearer API-key auth; both use `passthroughModels` with a live `/v1/models` fetcher instead of a hardcoded catalog. Regression guard: `tests/unit/sumopod-x5lab-provider.test.ts`. (Inspired by 9router#1288.) ([#5963](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5963))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Charm Hyper** (`hyper.charm.land`) as a new OpenAI-compatible, bearer-auth API-key gateway provider with a free tier (100 monthly Hypercredits); models resolve via passthrough (`modelsUrl` + live `/v1/models`) since the catalog isn't publicly documented. (Inspired by 9router#2006.) ([#5961](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5961))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Nube.sh** (`ai.nube.sh`) as a new BYOK OpenAI-compatible gateway (LiteLLM proxy), Bearer/API-key auth. Its live model catalog is only reachable with a valid key, so no model IDs are hardcoded — it uses `passthroughModels` + `modelsUrl` for live enumeration. (Inspired by 9router#2294.) ([#5936](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5936) — thanks @whale9820)
+- **feat(providers):** add **b.ai** (`api.b.ai`) as a new OpenAI-compatible BYOK provider, distinct from the existing thebai/theb.ai provider, using passthrough model discovery with no hardcoded model list. (Inspired by 9router#963.) ([#5969](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5969))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Qiniu** (七牛云) AI inference gateway as a BYOK API-key provider — proxies many upstream models (DeepSeek V3/V4, Claude, Kimi, and more) behind a single key, shipping with an empty static seed and relying on `passthroughModels` + the live `/v1/models` catalog instead of a stale hardcoded model id. Regression guard: `tests/unit/qiniu-provider.test.ts`. (Inspired by 9router#911.) ([#5966](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5966))
+- **feat(providers):** port **ModelScope** (Alibaba 魔搭) as a new API-key, OpenAI-compatible provider — verified against ModelScope's own docs that the real production domain is `api-inference.modelscope.cn` (`.cn`, not the upstream PR's `.ai`) and shipped `passthroughModels: true` with an empty seed + `modelsUrl` instead of the upstream PR's static 5-model snapshot, since the open-model catalog moves fast. (Ported from 9router#1764.) ([#5965](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5965) — thanks @tn5052)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Augment (Auggie CLI)** as a new local, no-auth provider that spawns the user's local `auggie` CLI and pipes a flattened prompt via stdin, wrapping stdout as an OpenAI-compatible SSE stream or single JSON body. Auth is delegated to `auggie login` outside OmniRoute (synthetic `noAuth: true` connection, no DB row required); "Test Connection" spawns `auggie --version`. Hardened against the untrusted-input spawn sink: no `shell: true` on Windows (argv passed straight to the OS loader, no metacharacter interpretation), and `model` is validated against the registry allowlist before spawn (rejecting unknown or `-`-prefixed values) with a trailing `--` end-of-options marker. (Inspired by 9router#1200.) ([#5972](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5972) — thanks @chamdanilukman)
+- **feat(providers):** add **NVIDIA NIM image generation** — a dedicated `nvidia-nim` image format/handler (separate host, `ai.api.nvidia.com/v1/genai/<model>`, native NIM body shape) for the 4 FLUX models (flux.1-dev, flux.1-schnell, flux.1-kontext-dev, flux.2-klein-4b), shaping each model's per-model request body (dimension/mode validation, required input image + aspect ratio, optional edit image) and normalizing the NIM response's varying shapes into the OpenAI `{created, data}` shape. (Inspired by 9router#1195.) ([#5971](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5971))
+- **feat(oauth):** import a Codex connection from a raw ChatGPT access token — OmniRoute's only Codex import path previously required both `access_token` and `refresh_token`, leaving no path for a user with only a bare ChatGPT website access token. `createProviderConnection` gains an explicit `access_token` auth-type branch (intentionally never deduped), a new `POST /api/oauth/codex/import-token` route (Zod-validated), and `OAuthModal`'s manual-paste path now detects an `eyJ`-prefixed pasted token and posts it to the new endpoint, mirroring the existing grok-cli raw-token flow. The executor's `refreshCredentials()` already degrades safely to `null` without a refresh token, forcing re-auth on expiry. (Inspired by 9router#1290.) ([#5995](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5995) — thanks @ryanngit)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add a tool-source diagnostics settings toggle — a new Settings → Advanced card lets operators flip the existing `logToolSources` flag from the UI instead of editing the DB row directly; `logToolSources` is added to the `.strict()` `/api/settings` Zod PATCH schema (previously rejected). (Inspired by 9router#1825.) ([#5978](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5978) — thanks @DuyPrX)
+- **feat(dashboard):** collapse and sort provider quota rows by remaining percentage — the expanded quota list is sorted highest-remaining-first and collapsed to the first 3 rows by default, with a "Show N more"/"Show less" toggle when a connection reports more than 3 quotas, keeping at-risk quotas visible above a long list of healthy ones. Sort/slice logic extracted into pure, directly-unit-tested helpers (`sortQuotasByRemaining`, `getVisibleQuotas`). (Inspired by 9router#1919.) ([#5977](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5977))
+- **feat(dashboard):** suggest HuggingFace Hub media models — a new `GET /api/v1/providers/suggested-models` route proxies the public HF Hub models search API (Zod-validated, no token exposed client-side) and `ImageExampleCard` merges the results into the model picker as a selectable chip row for the huggingface provider; also adds a dedicated `huggingface-image` format/handler for HF's raw-image-bytes response. (Inspired by 9router#1633.) ([#5990](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5990))
+- **feat(cli-tools):** add a **Crush** entry to the dashboard CLI-Tools catalog plus a new `/api/cli-tools/crush-settings` route (GET/POST/DELETE) — OmniRoute already shipped a `crush` CLI setup command (`bin/cli/commands/setup-crush.mjs`) but the dashboard catalog had no matching entry; the new route writes to the same canonical `~/.config/crush/crush.json` path so the dashboard and CLI command agree. (Inspired by 9router#1233.) ([#5970](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5970))
+- **feat(providers):** extend Vercel AI Gateway (`vercel-ai-gateway`/`vag`) beyond chat-only to support **embeddings and image generation** — the gateway's OpenAI-compatible `/v1` API also exposes `/embeddings` and `/images/generations`, so entries were added to `EMBEDDING_PROVIDERS` (`embeddingRegistry.ts`) and `IMAGE_PROVIDERS` (`imageRegistry.ts`) modeled on the existing `openai` entries. ([#5968](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5968) — thanks @tantai-newnol)
+- **feat(api-keys):** add per-key **device/connection tracking** — a SHA-256 fingerprint of IP + User-Agent, with a 30-minute TTL and per-key/global caps, tracks distinct client devices seen with each API key (in-memory only, raw IP never stored). A new `GET /api/keys/[id]/devices` route exposes masked device details, and the API Keys dashboard tab gets a "Devices" count badge alongside the existing Sessions badge. This is a new granularity distinct from the existing `maxSessions` cap, which limits concurrent sticky-routing sessions rather than tracking device identity. ([#5998](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5998) — thanks @mugni-rukita)
+- **feat(proxy):** add **Webshare** (`proxy.webshare.io`) as a fourth source in the free-proxy provider framework alongside 1proxy, Proxifly, and IPLocate. `WebshareProvider` paginates the account's `/api/v2/proxy/list/` endpoint, upserts proxies into the shared `free_proxies` table, and tombstones proxies the account no longer lists while never touching rows already promoted into the live proxy pool. Unlike the other sources, Webshare is a paid per-account list, gated on `FREE_PROXY_WEBSHARE_API_KEY`. ([#5993](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5993) — thanks @ricatix)
+- **feat(antigravity):** support custom **Google Cloud project ID** settings from the connection edit modal (Antigravity family). ([#5905](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5905) — thanks @nickwizard)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add a **wildcard-CORS runtime warning** banner (Settings → Authorization) when `CORS_ALLOW_ALL`/`*` origins are in effect, plus a new `docs/security/CORS.md` security guide covering the risk and safer alternatives. ([#5602](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5602), [#5759](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5759))
+- **feat(api):** add a `/v1/audio/translations` endpoint (Whisper-style audio translation), a new `audioTranslation` handler, and translation providers wired into `audioRegistry`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/audio-translations-route.test.ts` (8, incl. no-stack-leak). ([#5809](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5809))
+- **feat(providers):** allow a **custom icon URL** for compatible provider nodes (migration 113 + `nodes.ts` + Zod schema + API routes + catalog + `ProviderIcon` UI). Regression guards: 14 backend + 5 frontend(vitest) + 24 page-utils tests. ([#5815](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5815))
+- **feat(xai):** register a dedicated `XaiExecutor` with reasoning-effort suffix parsing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executors/xai-executor.test.ts` (6). ([#5800](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5800))
+- **feat(webfetch):** support **self-hosted FireCrawl** instances via `FIRECRAWL_BASE_URL`/`FIRECRAWL_TIMEOUT_MS`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executors/firecrawl-fetch.test.ts` (4). ([#5793](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5793))
+- **feat(providers):** add **ClinePass** as a first-class API-key (BYOK) provider — Cline's paid gateway (`cline-pass/*` models, plain Bearer key), distinct from the existing OAuth `cline` provider. Regression guard: 16 clinepass tests. ([#5942](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5942) — thanks @adentdk)
+- **feat(relay):** gate **Bifrost auto-routing** by the provider plugin manifest — only manifest-eligible providers reach the sidecar; ineligible/unknown providers fall back to the existing TS routing path with explicit reasons. Regression guards: 4 provider-plugin-manifest + 11 relay-routing-backend tests. ([#5870](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5870) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(providers):** wire **Claude Sonnet 5** end-to-end across the model pipeline — registries, `modelSpecs`, pricing (×3), cost, Sonnet-family fallback, 1M-context, and static models. ([#5833](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5833) — thanks @ggiak)
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **dashboard (`/dashboard/system/proxy` 500 on every render):** `ProxyRegistryManager` called `useProxyBatchOperations(load)` before the `const load = useCallback(...)` declaration in the component body, so every server render threw a TDZ `ReferenceError: Cannot access 'load' before initialization` and the whole proxy page 500'd (#5918 regression, caught by the release-PR e2e smoke — the PR→release fast-gates never render pages). The hook block now sits after the `load` declaration. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/ProxyRegistryManager-tdz-render.test.tsx` (SSR renderToString — the exact crash mode).
+
+- **server (TRACE/TRACK/CONNECT returned raw 500 on every route):** methods that undici/fetch cannot represent blew up inside Next's middleware adapter (`TypeError: 'TRACE' HTTP method is unsupported.`) as an unhandled 500 (caught by the release-PR dast-smoke Schemathesis negative tests on the new `/api/keys/{id}/devices` endpoint). The raw HTTP method guard now answers a clean 405 + `Allow` header for these methods on any path, before Next sees the request. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dast-method-not-allowed.test.ts` (new case).
+
+- **i18n (auto-detect refreshed every first visit):** `LocaleAutoDetect` (#5979) called `router.refresh()` on every cookie-less first visit — even when the detected browser locale was exactly the one the server had just rendered — re-navigating the page mid-interaction (flaky e2e "execution context destroyed" + a visible flash for every new visitor). It now refreshes only when the detected locale differs from the server-rendered `<html lang>`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/LocaleAutoDetect-refresh.test.tsx`.
+
+- **models (`oc/` alias must reach the no-auth OpenCode provider):** restore the [#2901](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/2901) routing contract after the #5918 transitive-alias change made the registered no-auth `opencode` provider unreachable by any prefix (`oc/` chained through the manual `opencode` → `opencode-zen` slug override and misrouted its combo entries). `resolveProviderAlias` now stops the alias chain as soon as a hop lands on a registered provider id, while keeping #5918's transitivity across alias-only hops and its loop/depth guards. Regression guards: `tests/unit/combo-builder-opencode-prefix.test.ts`, `tests/unit/provider-alias-transitive-5918.test.ts`.
+
+- **providers (Auggie executor EPIPE crash):** a fast-exiting `auggie` CLI (e.g. binary present but immediately failing) delivered `EPIPE` **asynchronously** as an `'error'` event on the child's stdin stream — which a plain try/catch around `stdin.write()` cannot catch — crashing the request instead of surfacing the sanitized CLI error. Both spawn sites now attach a stdin `'error'` handler so the child's own exit/close handlers report the failure. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auggie-executor.test.ts` (deterministic 3/3 locally).
+
+- **dashboard (CoolingConnectionsPanel broke `next build`):** the cooling-connections panel from #6061 imported `Card` from a shadcn-style path that does not exist in this repo (`@/components/ui/card`) and pulled the server DB barrel (`@/lib/localDb`) into a client component — `next build` failed to compile on the release branch. The panel now renders with repo-native markup and reads `formatResetCountdown` from the new client-safe `src/shared/utils/formatting.ts`. Regression guards: `tests/unit/format-reset-countdown.test.ts`, `tests/unit/ui/CoolingConnectionsPanel.test.tsx`. ([#6155](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6155))
+
+- **oauth (Zed "Unknown provider" crash):** adding **Zed** from the providers dashboard threw an unhandled `OAuth GET error: Unknown provider: zed` (500) ([#6041](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6041)). Zed is a **keychain-import-only** provider — it's listed in the OAuth catalog so the UI shows it, but has no OAuth handler, so the generic `/api/oauth/[provider]/[action]` route hit `getProvider("zed")` and crashed. The route now recognizes keychain-import-only providers and returns a clear **400** pointing users at the **Import** button (for both GET and POST OAuth actions), instead of a 500. Regression guard: `tests/unit/oauth-keychain-import-only-6041.test.ts`. (thanks @imblowsnow)
+
+- **fix(providers):** disable the unsupported `thinking` param for `minimax-m2.7` on NVIDIA NIM (the upstream rejects it) ([#6102](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6102)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-minimax-thinking-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(mitm):** add an in-process guard so concurrent MITM server starts no longer race — a second start while one is already in flight is short-circuited instead of double-binding the listener ([#6107](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6107)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-start-guard.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **translator (Responses → Chat Completions):** strip the Responses-API-only `truncation` field before forwarding a `/v1/responses` request to a non-OpenAI Chat Completions upstream ([#6109](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6109)). Strict upstreams (e.g. NVIDIA NIM) rejected it with HTTP 400 `Unsupported parameter(s): truncation`, breaking Codex-style clients routed to those providers. `client_metadata`, `background`, and `safety_identifier` were already stripped — `truncation` was the remaining gap. Regression guard: `tests/unit/responses-strip-truncation-2311.test.ts`. (thanks @TuanNguyen0708)
+
+- **combo (prefer known context capacity over unknown):** when a combo filters out at least one target for exceeding a _known_ context limit, the router now prefers the remaining known-compatible targets over targets whose context metadata is simply unknown, instead of letting unknown-metadata targets be the only survivors. If no known-compatible context target remains, context-only candidates fall back to the normal strategy order. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-context-window-filter.test.ts`. ([#6088](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6088) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+
+- **models (GLM-5.2 context normalization):** stop treating every hosted GLM-5.2 provider alias as the native 1M-context model. Native/bare GLM-5.2 and verified OpenCode / ZenMux routes keep their 1,000,000-token context, while hosted-provider aliases now respect the caps declared in their provider metadata instead of inheriting the native max. Regression guards: `tests/unit/model-capabilities-registry.test.ts`, `tests/unit/models-catalog-route.test.ts`. ([#6091](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6091) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+
+- **providers (Gemini Web):** refresh the Gemini Web cookie handling and model catalog so live Gemini Web sessions keep authenticating and routing to current models. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-web.test.ts`. ([#6095](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6095) — thanks @backryun)
+
+- **providers (Perplexity Web):** refresh the Perplexity Web model catalog to the current set (GPT-5.4/5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.0 / Opus 4.8, GLM-5.2, Kimi K2.6, Nemotron 3 Ultra) and update the internal mode / `model_preference` mappings and thinking variants so requests resolve to live upstream models. Regression guard: `tests/unit/perplexity-web.test.ts`. ([#6106](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6106) — thanks @backryun)
+
+- **dashboard ("Update now" → Internal Server Error):** clicking **Update now** on the dashboard home could crash the page with a blank "Internal Server Error" screen (`Minified React error #31`). The handler POSTs the loopback-only `/api/system/version` auto-update endpoint and, on a non-OK JSON response (e.g. a `403` when the dashboard is reached through a reverse proxy / non-loopback origin), passed the raw error envelope object `{ error: { code, message, correlation_id } }` straight to `notify.error()`, which rendered the object as a React child and threw #31. The update-error path now funnels the body through `extractApiErrorMessage()` (the same safe extractor added in #5340), so a readable string always reaches the toast. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/home-update-error-render-5991.test.ts`. ([#5991](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5991))
+- **fix(onboarding):** route the provider-details link in the onboarding wizard by the node's stable id instead of the composite provider slug, which could point at the wrong provider details page for multi-account/fingerprint nodes. Regression guard: `tests/unit/onboarding-wizard-details-link-6145.test.ts`. ([#6145](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6145) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(cli):** give `setup-claude` a fallback profile generator mirroring `setup-codex`, so profile generation no longer silently no-ops when the primary generator path is unavailable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli/setup-claude.test.ts` (new cases). ([#6138](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6138) — thanks @derhornspieler)
+- **fix(glm):** suppress a leaked `</think>` close marker in the GLM Anthropic transport, which was surfacing the raw reasoning-close tag in visible response content instead of being consumed as part of the thinking-block framing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/glm-think-close-marker-leak.test.ts`. ([#6133](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6133) — thanks @dhaern)
+- **fix(provider-limits):** close a TOCTOU race in quota-recovery clearing by moving the check-then-clear to a CAS (compare-and-swap) primitive in `src/lib/db/providers.ts`, so two concurrent recovery paths can no longer both observe stale state and double-clear/re-lock a connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-limits-recovery.test.ts`. ([#6139](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6139) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **fix(provider-limits):** clear transient rate-limit state (`rateLimitedUntil`, `lastError`, `backoffLevel`) as soon as quota recovers, instead of leaving stale rate-limit fields behind that could keep a now-healthy connection looking unavailable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-limits-recovery.test.ts`. ([#6128](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6128) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **combos (OpenCode/MiMo fingerprint accounts):** expand fingerprint-scoped OpenCode/MiMo accounts into their full per-fingerprint set in the combo builder, which previously showed only the first matching account entry and hid the rest from combo target selection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-builder-fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`. ([#6092](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6092), closes [#6087](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6087) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(auth):** persist quota-preflight account lockouts until the reset window elapses, instead of losing the lockout on process restart and letting a still-quota-exhausted account be selected again immediately. Regression guards: `tests/unit/sse-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/opencode-quota-fetcher.test.ts`, `tests/unit/usage-service-hardening.test.ts`. ([#6090](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6090) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+- **combo (fingerprint-based provider expansion):** expand fingerprint-based providers into per-fingerprint combo targets (`open-sse/services/combo/fingerprintExpansion.ts`) so a combo referencing a fingerprint-scoped provider fans out to every matching fingerprint account instead of collapsing onto one. Regression guards: `tests/unit/combo-fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`, `tests/integration/fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`. ([#6082](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6082) — thanks @pizzav-xyz)
+- **fix (safety-net redirect `reqId` crash):** fix a `reqId` `ReferenceError` thrown inside the safety-net combo redirect path in `src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, remove dead code in `src/domain/quotaCache.ts`, and rename the stray root `DESING.md` to `DESIGN.md`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chat-safetynet-reqid-6097.test.ts`. ([#6097](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6097) — thanks @fix2015)
+- **fix(compression):** send a patch-only body to `PUT /api/settings/compression` from `CompressionHub`, instead of round-tripping the full settings object and risking clobbering fields changed elsewhere between load and save. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/CompressionHub-patch-only.test.tsx`. ([#6077](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6077), closes [#6039](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6039) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(codex):** use `access_token.exp` instead of `id_token.exp` when computing `expiresAt` on Codex auth import, since the `id_token` can expire far sooner than the actual access token, causing imported connections to be treated as expired while still usable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-auth-import-expiry.test.ts`. ([#6084](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6084), closes [#6075](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6075) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(security):** persist the IP allow/block-list configuration (it was resetting to Disabled and clearing configured IPs on every restart/update) and actually enforce it in the authz pipeline (`src/server/authz/pipeline.ts`), where it was previously validated but never applied. Regression guards: `tests/unit/ip-filter-persistence-6131.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/ip-filter-enforcement-6131.test.ts`, `tests/unit/ip-filter.test.ts`. (closes [#6131](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6131), [#6132](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6132))
+- **fix (Claude tool_result adjacency):** reattach an OpenAI-shaped `tool_result` to sit directly adjacent to its originating `tool_use` before translating to Claude's message format (`open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-claude/toolResultAdjacency.ts`), since Claude's API rejects/mishandles a tool result separated from its tool call by intervening messages. Regression guard: `tests/unit/translator-openai-to-claude.test.ts` (new cases). ([#6035](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6035) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(config):** externalize `ws`/`bufferutil`/`utf-8-validate` in `next.config.mjs` so the `copilot-m365-web` executor's WebSocket masking path works at runtime — chat requests through it were silently timing out because the bundler was inlining `ws` instead of leaving it as a real Node dependency. Regression guard: `tests/unit/next-config.test.ts`. ([#6130](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6130), closes [#6062](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6062) — thanks @anki1kr, whose #6098 fix it re-lands)
+- **fix(registry):** update grok-cli model context lengths to match the actual Grok CLI `/context` capacities — `grok-build` 128k→256k, `grok-composer-2.5-fast` 128k→200k — so context-aware routing stops filtering these models out for exceeding a stale, too-low limit. Registry-only. ([#5913](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5913) — thanks @Chewji9875)
+- **fix(providers):** strip an orphan `tool_result` (one with no preceding `tool_use`) on the Antigravity MITM path before translating to OpenAI format, since an unpaired tool result upstream caused request failures. Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-orphan-toolresult-6026.test.ts`. (closes [#6026](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6026), [#6115](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6115))
+- **fix(providers):** emulate OpenAI-style `tool_calls` in the GitLab Duo executor (new `open-sse/executors/gitlabResponses.ts`), since the executor previously didn't emulate tool-call semantics for Duo, breaking tool-using clients routed to GitLab Duo. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-duo-toolcalls-6051.test.ts`. (closes [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051), [#6111](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6111))
+- **fix(429 / accountFallback):** persist the per-account 429 cooldown cascade across the request boundary and classify OpenCode's "Monthly usage limit. Resets in N days." message as a connection-scoped quota exhaustion with an N-day cooldown (instead of a ~5s transient retry), so an exhausted account stops being re-selected until its window resets. ([#6061](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6061) — thanks @KooshaPari / @anki1kr, whose superseded #6086 carried the same day-parser approach)
+- **combo (sibling-model fallback on per-model-quota 500s):** when a combo held multiple models from the same provider (e.g. two Gemini models) and the first returned a server 500, the router retried the same locked model and surfaced a 429 "cooling down" instead of trying the sibling — `markConnectionLevelExhaustion` was wrongly tripped by a model-level 500 for per-model-quota providers (gemini, github, passthrough, compatible), and the retry loop didn't check `isModelLocked` before re-hitting the same model. Both gaps are fixed; the combo now falls through to the untried sibling model. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo/combo-target-exhaustion.test.ts` (21 cases). ([#5976](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5976) — thanks @hartmark)
+- **providers (Cline non-streaming envelope):** Cline can return OpenAI-compatible chat completions wrapped as `{ success, data: { choices, usage, ... } }`; the non-streaming path checked the top-level body for empty content before unwrapping, so a valid wrapped response could be misclassified as malformed/empty. The envelope is now unwrapped immediately after provider-envelope handling, before empty-content detection, usage extraction, and translation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cline-response-envelope.test.ts`. ([#6046](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6046) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **providers (kimi-web, qwen-web):** align the kimi-web model catalog and request-scenario selection with `www.kimi.com`'s live `GetAvailableModels` response, and stop aliasing `qwen3-coder-plus` on qwen-web now that it is present as its own model in the live Qwen web catalog. ([#5915](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5915) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **translator (Antigravity/Gemini tool schemas):** strip `multipleOf` from function-declaration parameters before forwarding to Antigravity/Gemini — it is not part of the Gemini OpenAPI 3.0 schema subset accepted upstream and triggered a hard 400 ("Unknown name multipleOf"). Added to `GEMINI_UNSUPPORTED_SCHEMA_KEYS` so it is stripped at every schema level; `minimum`/`maximum` are unaffected since Gemini accepts them. (Ported from 9router#2309, reported by @abil0321.) ([#6052](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6052))
+- **translator (Kiro system prompt leak):** Kiro/CodeWhisperer has no system role, so system messages were normalized into a bare user turn — the full Claude Code system prompt then appeared as raw user text, polluting model context. System-origin content is now wrapped in `<system-reminder>` tags before merging into the Kiro user message; real user turns are unaffected. (Ported from 9router#2306, reported by @VitzS7.) ([#6053](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6053))
+- **fix(codex):** convert Chat Completions `json_schema` `response_format` → Responses API `text.format` on the Codex path, and preserve an existing `text.format` through verbosity normalization. Regression guards: 48 translator-openai-responses-req + 8 codex-verbosity tests. ([#5933](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5933) — thanks @yusufrahadika)
+- **fix(thinking):** only inject the `redacted_thinking` replay block when `tool_use` is present and thinking is enabled, avoiding a fabricated replay block on plain (non-tool) turns. ([#5945](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5945), [#5953](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5953))
+- **fix(resilience):** honor active **codex session affinity** over per-request reset-aware re-scoring, so an in-flight session sticks to its pinned account instead of being re-scored away mid-conversation. New `src/sse/services/sessionAffinityPin.ts` module. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-session-affinity-reset-aware-5903.test.ts`. ([#5903](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5903), [#5943](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5943))
+- **fix(resilience):** compute per-window `is_exhausted` and honor the quota-exhaustion preflight for **priority combos**, so a combo no longer keeps routing to a target whose current window is already exhausted. New `open-sse/services/combo/quotaExhaustionCutoff.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-priority-quota-exhaustion-cutoff-5923.test.ts`. ([#5923](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5923), [#5941](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5941))
+- **fix(providers):** strip a `/v1` suffix from the base URL unconditionally in both models-discovery paths, avoiding a doubled `/v1/v1/models` fetch error (e.g. Api Airforce). Regression guard: `tests/unit/airforce-v1-double-prefix-5899.test.ts`. ([#5899](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5899), [#5920](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5920) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(api):** relax provider-scoped chat completion validation on `/api/providers/[provider]/chat/completions`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-scoped-chat-completions-validation.test.ts`. ([#5907](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5907) — thanks @nickwizard)
+- **fix(providers):** validate **v0 Platform** (Vercel) API keys via the `/chats` endpoint instead of a probe that rejected valid keys. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-validation-specialty.test.ts`. ([#5954](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5954) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+- **fix(mcp):** auto-recover stale streamable HTTP MCP sessions on `initialize` instead of failing the reconnect. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mcp-session-sweep.test.ts`. ([#5957](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5957) — thanks @Chewji9875)
+- **fix(translator):** enforce strict Anthropic content-block compliance when converting an antigravity → openai request. Regression guard: `tests/unit/translator-antigravity-to-openai.test.ts` (9). ([#5935](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5935))
+- **fix(sse):** strip ANSI/VT100 escape codes from `gemini-cli` stream frames using a ReDoS-safe pattern. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-cli-ansi-sanitization.test.ts` (5). ([#5934](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5934) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(discovery):** resolve a doubled `/v1` discovery path and a `REDIRECT_BLOCKED` probe-loop abort in the model-discovery route. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-route.test.ts`. ([#5904](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5904) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **fix(providers): Perplexity Web now emits real `tool_calls` in streaming mode** — previously only non-streaming requests (`hasTools && !stream`) converted `<tool>{...}</tool>` text into OpenAI `tool_calls`; streaming requests (the default for agentic coding clients) got the raw `<tool>` text as plain `delta.content` and never emitted a `tool_calls` SSE delta. Now mirrors the `chatgpt-web` `toolMode` helpers (`buildToolModeResponse()`/`toolCompletionToSseStream()`, extended with a caller-supplied `idSeed` so tool-call ids stay provider-specific), buffering the completion and emitting a terminal SSE replay carrying `delta.tool_calls` + `finish_reason: tool_calls` regardless of the caller's stream flag. ([#5927](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5927), [#5937](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5937))
+- **providers (openai-family model inference no longer hijacks cataloged models):** `resolveModelByProviderInference()` had an unconditional `/^gpt-/i` heuristic that hijacked any model id starting with `gpt-`/`o1`/`o3` into provider `openai`, even when the id is cataloged under other providers — breaking bare (non-combo) requests for open-weight models like `gpt-oss-120b` (served by fireworks/cerebras/scaleway/byteplus/sambanova/heroku), which don't exist on openai's catalog, producing a 404 with no fallback. The heuristic is now gated on `providers.length === 0` so it only fires for genuinely uncataloged openai-family ids. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gptoss-provider-inference-5852.test.ts`. ([#5852](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5852), [#5938](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5938))
+- **fix(providers): deepseek-web reliability** — auto-refresh the session on `401`/`403`, refresh the v2.0.0 client headers, and fix the token-kind bulk import path. Regression guards: `tests/unit/deepseek-web-autorefresh-401-response.test.ts`, `tests/unit/bulk-web-session-import.test.ts`. ([#5988](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5988) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(api):** guard the shared frontend API client (`handleResponse` in `src/shared/utils/api.ts`) against non-JSON error responses — it previously called `response.json()` unconditionally and read `data.error` directly, throwing an unrelated parse error (or `undefined`) instead of a useful message when an upstream/proxy returned a non-JSON error body. Now routes through `parseResponseBody`/`getErrorMessage` to build a safe message regardless of body shape. Regression guard: `tests/unit/shared-api-utils.test.ts`. ([#5973](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5973))
+- **fix(embeddings):** forward the connection-level proxy configuration to embedding requests — `src/lib/embeddings/service.ts` previously ignored a connection's configured proxy when making embedding calls, so proxy-only network setups leaked embedding traffic outside the proxy. Regression guard: `tests/unit/embeddings-proxy-forwarding.test.ts`. ([#5975](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5975))
+- **fix(resilience):** parse `Retry-After` from a 429's JSON body for cooldown calculation, not just the HTTP header — a new `retryAfterJson.ts` helper extracts a retry-after hint from common JSON error-body shapes and `accountFallback.ts`'s cooldown path now prefers it when the header is absent. Regression guard: `tests/unit/account-fallback-retry-after-json.test.ts`. (Includes #6013's retry-after-json extraction.) ([#5974](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5974) — thanks @KooshaPari)

+- **release close (release-PR one-pass CI sweep):** restore Zod validation on the provider-scoped chat route with a `.passthrough()` schema that keeps #5907's relaxed semantics (t06 route-validation gate); point `/api/keys/{id}/devices`' 401 response at the management error envelope in `docs/openapi.yaml` (Schemathesis schema-conformance); rebaseline `i18nUiCoverage.pct` 77.5→76.8 (~1352 new en.json UI keys from the cycle await the async translation workflow — same shape as the v3.8.39 rebaseline); dismiss 2 CodeQL `js/incomplete-url-substring-sanitization` false positives on unit-test asserts (v3.8.35 precedent).

+- **release close (Phase 0 pre-flight):** align cycle-stale tests with merged behavior — provider count 166→167 (Kenari #6104), Linux-regenerated translate-path golden (+`kenari`), OpenCode quota scope `provider`→`connection` (#6061) — and absorb cycle ratchet drift (file-size caps for `oauth/[provider]/[action]/route.ts` 960, `providerLimits.ts` 998, `chat.ts` 1662, `auth.ts` 2426, with #6158 tracked to restore the oauth-route freeze). The test-masking gate gains a narrowly-scoped `_deletedWithReplacement` allowlist section (deletion is exempt ONLY when the declared replacement test file exists in HEAD — used for `targetExhaustion.test.ts` → `tests/unit/combo/combo-target-exhaustion.test.ts`, which has MORE coverage: 21 cases/52 asserts vs 13/37), plus 5 new gate unit tests and reduction-allowlist entries for the verified-legitimate #5958/#6088/#5816 assert migrations.
+
+- **test (deflake `setup-claude`):** `tests/unit/cli/setup-claude.test.ts` failed ~50% of runs with `Unable to deserialize cloned data due to invalid or unsupported version` at file teardown (all subtests passed), randomly reddening `Unit Tests fast-path (2/2)` / `Fast Quality Gates` across the PR→release queue. Root cause: `node --test` streams each file's report to the parent as V8-serialized frames on fd 1 (stdout), and the CLI helper under test (`syncClaudeProfilesFromModels`) prints progress via `console.log` — that stdout output interleaved with the serialized frames and corrupted the stream. The test now silences the stdout-writing `console` methods for the file's duration (no assertion inspects stdout), making it deterministic (15/15 green locally). ([#5959](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5959)) ([#6021](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6021))
+
+- **API validation:** add a `validatedJsonBody(request, schema)` helper in `src/shared/validation/helpers.ts` that fuses JSON body parsing and Zod validation into a single call, returning either the type-narrowed data or a ready-to-return 400 `NextResponse` with the standard error envelope. Salvaged from the closed refactor PR #5075 (Tier 1 portable helper) with a focused 6-case regression test. Co-authored-by: KooshaPari <KooshaPari@users.noreply.github.com>
+- **repo (Windows case-conflict cleanup):** remove the stale root `DESIGN.md`, which case-conflicted with `design.md` and broke checkouts/clones on case-insensitive Windows filesystems. ([#6140](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6140) — thanks @backryun)
+- **i18n(zh-CN):** translate the CHANGELOG entries and section headings, adopting zh-CN as a fully translated locale alongside the existing supporting docs. ([#6043](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6043) — thanks @studyzy)
+- **docs (env-doc-sync base-red):** document `BIFROST_PORT` in `.env.example` / `docs/reference/ENVIRONMENT.md` — the Bifrost embedded-service merge referenced `process.env.BIFROST_PORT` (default 8080) without documenting it, so `check:env-doc-sync` failed on the release tip and reddened Fast Quality Gates for every open PR→release. Docs-only (`8d7e3e28f`).
+- **test (CI-runner-independent translate-path golden):** normalize OS/arch-derived request headers (`X-Stainless-Os`/`X-Stainless-Arch`, `(OS;arch)` User-Agent segments, and Antigravity's `os.platform()`-derived platform substring) in the provider translate-path golden snapshot, so the test no longer depends on the OS/arch of the CI runner that generated it — a Mac-literal Antigravity UA was failing on Linux CI. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-translate-path-golden.test.ts`. ([#6076](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6076) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **release-green base-reds (#5695 regex + file-size rebaseline):** `tests/unit/ui/quick-start-api-keys-link-5695.test.ts` now tolerates Prettier splitting a multi-line `<Link href=...>` so the `step1Desc` regex matches the `/dashboard/api-manager` link instead of skipping to `step2`'s single-line `/dashboard/providers` link (test was brittle, not the code). Also rebaselines 5 files that grew via already-merged release-tip PRs in `config/quality/file-size-baseline.json` (`ApiManagerPageClient` 3017→3058, `OAuthModal` 969→989, `cliRuntime` 1090→1100, `webProvidersA` 805→809, `deepseek-web.test` 1081→1092), with shrink tracked in #3501. ([#6093](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6093))
+- **release close (LEDGER-4 base-red):** the `cline-pass` provider's `minimax-m3` registry entry was missing `supportsVision`, breaking the LEDGER-4 registry-consistency test (every `minimax-m3` entry must set `supportsVision` to match `lite.ts` — the model is multimodal). Flagged it to match every other `minimax-m3` entry (trae, bazaarlink, cline, ollama-cloud, ...). ([#6003](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6003))
+- **release close (stryker `tap.testFiles` drift):** additional release-green cleanup clearing the `qoder` registry's `minimax-m3` `supportsVision` LEDGER-4 base-red and `stryker.conf.json`'s `tap.testFiles` drift. ([#6012](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6012))
+- **install (pnpm 11+ support):** pnpm 11 introduced `ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS` for native addon packages — without explicit `allowBuilds` approval, packages silently skip their build scripts and OmniRoute fails to start with missing native modules. Sets `allowBuilds=true` for all 13 native addon packages in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` (`@parcel/watcher`, `@swc/core`, `better-sqlite3`, `core-js`, `esbuild`, `keytar`, `koffi`, `libxmljs2`, `onnxruntime-node`, `protobufjs`, `sharp`, `tls-client-node`, `unrs-resolver`) and migrates `onlyBuiltDependencies` from the deprecated `package.json` field to a new `pnpm.json`. (commit 39349da18 — thanks @chirag127)
+- **refactor (Block J hot-path decomposition):** extract pure leaves with no behavior change from the executor, translator, combo, and SSE hot paths — orphaned executor tests moved to top-level so a runner collects them, and `handleComboChat`'s auto-strategy/target-timeout regions split into named helpers. ([#6063](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6063), [#6049](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6049), [#6036](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6036), [#6030](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6030), [#6020](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6020), [#6018](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6018), [#6017](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6017), [#6016](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6016), [#6015](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6015), [#6014](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6014), [#6008](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6008), [#6006](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6006), [#6000](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6000), [#5999](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5999), [#5994](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5994), [#5967](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5967), [#5962](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5962), [#5960](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5960), [#5947](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5947), [#5949](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5949), [#5940](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5940), [#5932](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5932))
+- **chore (quality/CI housekeeping):** rebaseline residual ESLint/cognitive-complexity/file-size drift accumulated over the v3.8.44 cycle, move orphaned executor tests to a top-level location so a runner actually collects them, harden the release pipeline with a test-masking pre-flight gate plus contributors/uncovered helpers, and make the `pr-evidence` FAIL output tell the author to push (a body edit alone does not re-run the gate). ([#5926](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5926), [#5944](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5944), [#5952](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5952), [#6027](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6027), [#5928](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5928), plus a #5975-collateral test hardening pinning a seeded connection to direct egress in route-edge-coverage)
+- **docs (housekeeping):** normalize mixed-language documentation content, restore the OpenAPI coverage ratchet by documenting 9 newly-added routes, record Hard Rule #22 (cross-session safety — `git stash` + in-flight PR bans), and document the compression-engine's upstream sync policy for the RTK/Caveman engines. ([#6105](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6105), [#5955](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5955), [#5948](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5948), plus docs-only commit 926b08aa8)

-As credenciais OAuth embutidas no OmniRoute estão cadastradas **apenas para `localhost`**. Quando você acessa o OmniRoute em um servidor remoto (ex: `https://omniroute.meuservidor.com`), o Google rejeita a autenticação com:
-
-```
-Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch
-```
-
-#### Solução: Configure suas próprias credenciais OAuth
-
-Você precisa criar um **OAuth 2.0 Client ID** no Google Cloud Console com a URI do seu servidor.
-
-#### Passo a passo
-
-**1. Acesse o Google Cloud Console**
-
-Abra: [https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials)
-
-**2. Crie um novo OAuth 2.0 Client ID**
-
-- Clique em **"+ Create Credentials"** → **"OAuth client ID"**
-- Tipo de aplicativo: **"Web application"**
-- Nome: escolha qualquer nome (ex: `OmniRoute Remote`)
-
-**3. Adicione as Authorized Redirect URIs**
-
-No campo **"Authorized redirect URIs"**, adicione:
-
-```
-https://seu-servidor.com/callback
-```
-
-> Substitua `seu-servidor.com` pelo domínio ou IP do seu servidor (inclua a porta se necessário, ex: `http://45.33.32.156:20128/callback`).
-
-**4. Salve e copie as credenciais**
-
-Após criar, o Google mostrará o **Client ID** e o **Client Secret**.
-
-**5. Configure as variáveis de ambiente**
-
-No seu `.env` (ou nas variáveis de ambiente do Docker):
-
-```bash
-# Para Antigravity:
-ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=seu-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
-ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-seu-secret
-
-GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=seu-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
-GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-seu-secret
-```
-
-**6. Reinicie o OmniRoute**
-
-```bash
-# Se usando npm:
-npm run dev
-
-# Se usando Docker:
-docker restart omniroute
-```
-
-**7. Tente conectar novamente**
-
-
-Agora o Google redirecionará corretamente para `https://seu-servidor.com/callback` e a autenticação funcionará.
-
----
-
-#### Workaround temporário (sem configurar credenciais próprias)
-
-Se não quiser criar credenciais próprias agora, ainda é possível usar o fluxo **manual de URL**:
-
-1. O OmniRoute abrirá a URL de autorização do Google
-2. Após você autorizar, o Google tentará redirecionar para `localhost` (que falha no servidor remoto)
-3. **Copie a URL completa** da barra de endereço do seu browser (mesmo que a página não carregue)
-4. Cole essa URL no campo que aparece no modal de conexão do OmniRoute
-5. Clique em **"Connect"**
-
-> Este workaround funciona porque o código de autorização na URL é válido independente do redirect ter carregado ou não.

+- **feat(release):** `changelog.d/` fragments — eliminates the CHANGELOG merge-storm cascade. ([#6783](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6783) — thanks @diegosouzapw)

+
+- **feat(dashboard):** sidebar quick-filter — a search input at the top of the expanded dashboard sidebar (`src/shared/components/Sidebar.tsx`) filters nav sections/groups/items client-side by label as you type, reusing the existing `common.search`/`common.noResults` i18n keys (zero new locale edits) and the shared `Input` `icon="search"` pattern; matching sections auto-expand while searching (bypassing the accordion/pin state) and collapse back to normal once the query is cleared. Pure filtering logic extracted into `filterSidebarSectionsByQuery()` (`src/shared/utils/sidebarSearch.ts`) for isolated unit testing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/sidebar-search-filter.test.ts`, `src/shared/components/Sidebar.search.test.tsx`. (#4013 — thanks @crochabe-cyber)
+- **feat(combo):** `auto/*` combos gain a strict budget-cap fallback policy — `X-OmniRoute-Budget-Fallback: strict` (or the persisted `config.budgetFallback: "strict"`) makes an over-budget request fail fast with `HTTP 402` instead of the previous silent fallback to the globally cheapest candidate, which could still exceed the cap. The default (`cheapest`) preserves existing behavior. Builds on the existing `X-OmniRoute-Budget`/`X-OmniRoute-Mode` per-request controls (#6023/#6024/#6025), consolidated into `resolveRequestAutoControls()`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auto-combo-budget-fallback-3470.test.ts`. (#3470)
+- **Provider/model param filters**: config-driven parameter denylist/allowlist per provider/model with auto-learn from upstream 400s (#6649 — thanks @ThongAccount, closes #6625)
+- **Per-combo reasoning token buffer toggle**: the combo builder now exposes an explicit checkbox for the `#3587` reasoning-model `max_tokens` buffer, defaulting to the existing enabled behavior, so a combo can opt out without hand-editing raw JSON config (#6702 — thanks @xz-dev)
+- **feat(dashboard):** 9router-parity **Routing Strategy** settings card on Settings → Routing, plus a per-provider account-routing override on the provider detail page ([#6678](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6678)) — surfaces the existing account round-robin / sticky-limit knobs and adds a new combo-level sticky round-robin (`comboStickyRoundRobinLimit`, resolved via `resolveComboStickyRoundRobinLimit()` — per-combo → global combo sticky → account sticky cascade) so combo targets can batch calls per target the same way account fallback already does. A new `providerStrategies` setting (Zod-validated map, `src/shared/validation/settingsSchemas.ts`) lets a specific provider override the global `fallbackStrategy`/`stickyRoundRobinLimit` without touching the account-wide default, wired into `getProviderCredentials()` (`src/sse/services/auth.ts`) ahead of the global fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-rr-sticky-9router.test.ts`, `tests/unit/settings-ui-layout-static.test.ts`. (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **feat(icons):** provider logos now resolve local SVG assets first for faster rendering, with a 5-tier fallback chain — local SVG → `@lobehub/icons` React components → `thesvg.org` CDN (external SVG for unknown providers) → local PNG → generic AI icon — replacing the previous LobeHub-first order. Adds dozens of first-party provider SVGs and migrates several bitmap logos (continue/copilot/cursor/deepgram/heroku/openclaw/ovhcloud) from PNG to SVG. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/ProviderIcon-icon-url.test.tsx`. ([#6317](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6317) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **Skill Collector CLI detection**: new `GET /api/skills/collect/detect` + `POST /api/skills/collect/install` (and the `cli-skill-collector` agent skill) detect which coding CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Cline, Hermes, OpenCode, etc.) are installed locally via `getCliRuntimeStatus()`, match them against GitHub agent-skill repos, and plan an install path per tool — replacing the standalone Skill Collector Python app. Both new routes and `GET/POST /api/github-skills` now require management auth (`requireManagementAuth()`) and are loopback-gated (`LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` + `SPAWN_CAPABLE_PREFIXES`) since the detect route spawns a child process per candidate CLI tool (Hard Rules #15 + #17). The `omniroute_github_skills_install` MCP tool now reports the honest `action: "planned"` instead of `"installed"`, matching the REST route (#6294 — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **ClinePass dual-auth**: ClinePass now offers both sign-in methods on its dashboard page — OAuth (reusing the Cline WorkOS flow) as the primary "Connect" path, or a pasted BYOK API key via "Manual API key", instead of only the API-key-only provider shipped in #5942. The registry alias was aligned to `cp` (matching the `OAUTH_PROVIDERS` catalog alias) so `<alias>/<modelId>` routing resolves correctly, the OAuth refresh dispatch now routes `clinepass` to the shared Cline refresh flow, and the duplicate API-key-only catalog entry was removed to keep ClinePass listed once. Regression guard: `tests/unit/clinepass-provider.test.ts`. (#6126 — thanks @hajilok)
+- **feat(oauth):** Kiro/Amazon Q auto-import now supports enterprise **External IdP** ("Your organization") logins via Microsoft Entra/Okta/Auth0/OneLogin/Ping/Google/Cognito — these org-issued tokens are not AWS SSO tokens (no `aorAAAAAG`-prefixed refresh token) and can't refresh through the AWS OIDC/Kiro-social path, so `tryAwsSsoCache()` now detects them (`authMethod`/`provider === "externalidp"`) and refreshes via the org IdP's own `tokenEndpoint` (public-client OAuth2 refresh grant, no client secret), persisting `TokenType: EXTERNAL_IDP` gating so the runtime executor sends the header the AWS CodeWhisperer API requires for these accounts; `tokenEndpoint` is SSRF-guarded against an HTTPS + known-IdP-host-suffix allowlist. (#6363 — thanks @artickc)
+- **Kiro long-lived API key auth**: new `/api/oauth/kiro/api-key` route + `KiroService.validateApiKey` let a Kiro account be linked with a long-lived AWS CodeWhisperer/Kiro API key instead of the interactive OAuth device flow, with live per-account model discovery (`ListAvailableModels`, 5-minute cache) layered over the existing static registry fallback (#6587 — thanks @strangersp)
+- **Chaos Mode**: multi-model parallel/collaborative task execution — dispatches a task to every active provider connection at once (parallel) or chains outputs sequentially so each model builds on the previous one's answer (collaborative), configurable via Dashboard → Chaos Mode (`GET`/`PUT`/`DELETE /api/chaos/config`) and gated per-API-key via a new `chaosModeEnabled` permission (opt-in — disabled by default globally and per key). `POST /api/chaos/run` (dashboard session) and `POST /api/skills/collect/chaos` (external Bearer-token) delegate to a shared `executeChaosRun()` engine (`src/lib/chaos/chaosExecutor.ts`) that dispatches in-process via the established synthetic-Request/route-handler pattern (no network hop, no hardcoded port), with a concurrency cap (max 10 parallel), configurable `max_tokens` (256–128k), a clear error when `stream` is requested, and collaborative-chain info (provider order + input size). Fixes external Bearer-auth bypass and stale config-cache leakage. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chaos-config.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chaos-executor.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chaos-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6728](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6728) — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **feat(cli):** 2 new CLI tool integrations on Dashboard → CLI Tools — **omp** (Oh My Pi) and **letta** — each with binary detection, config apply/reset, and a settings card following the existing tool-card pattern. Both settings routes shell out to `which omp`/`which letta` to detect the local install, so they're loopback-gated (`LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES`, Hard Rules #15/#17) in addition to the shared `requireCliToolsAuth()` management-auth guard every cli-tools route requires, and route errors through `sanitizeErrorMessage()`; `src/lib/db/omp.ts` isolates the `omp` CLI's own local SQLite reads behind parameterized queries. (Note: the original PR also proposed **pi**, **codewhale**, and **jcode** integrations — those three had already shipped via a separate PR by the time this one was reconciled, so only omp+letta landed here.) Regression guard: `tests/unit/db/omp.test.ts`, `tests/unit/cli-tools-auth-hardening.test.ts`, `tests/integration/cli-settings-omp.test.ts`, `tests/integration/cli-settings-letta.test.ts`. ([#6318](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6318) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **feat(providers):** custom models now support a manual **Context Window Override** so an operator can correct a provider's misreported context length (e.g. reports 1M when the real limit is 128K) instead of the model silently getting dropped from combo routing once the wrong value lands in the catalog ([#4125](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/4125) — thanks @rucciva). Reuses the existing Feature-5004 `model_context_overrides` table (`source: "manual"`) — already the priority-0 source `getModelContextLimit()` (the function combo's context-window filter calls) reads ahead of the models.dev/registry/static catalog — so no new resolver logic was needed, only the missing write path: `PUT /api/provider-models` now accepts an optional `contextWindowOverride` (number to set, `null` to clear), `GET` surfaces the current value back on each custom-model row, and the provider detail page's custom-model edit form gained a Context Window Override field + badge. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-context-window-override-4125.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** register OpenRouter as a rerank provider so `openrouter/cohere/rerank-*` models resolve instead of erroring `Invalid rerank model` (#6574 — thanks @rafpigna)
+- **fix(api):** `HEAD` requests no longer hang until client timeout on any route — valid, unknown, authed, or unauthed ([#6400](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6400)), broader follow-up to the route-specific #6517 (`/v1/models`). Root cause: Next.js 16's App Router _route-handler_ pipeline (`next/dist/server/send-response.js`) correctly skips piping a `Response` body for `HEAD`, but its _page_-rendering pipeline (`next/dist/server/pipe-readable.js` → `pipeToNodeResponse`, used for every app-router page/layout render — including the `not-found` boundary any unmatched path falls through to) has no such check and always streams the full rendered body regardless of method; combined with Node's default keep-alive framing this left some clients unsure whether the (implicitly bodyless) `HEAD` response had actually finished. A new `scripts/dev/head-response-guard.cjs`, wired into both the dev/start custom server (`scripts/dev/run-next.mjs`) and the packaged standalone server (`scripts/dev/standalone-server-ws.mjs`) at the same tier as the existing `http-method-guard.cjs`/`peer-stamp.mjs` wrappers, discards any body bytes written for a `HEAD` request and forces `Connection: close` once `.end()` is called — independent of route existence or auth state, satisfying RFC 9110 §9.3.2. Regression guard: `tests/unit/head-request-closes-6400.test.ts`.
+- **feat(dashboard):** Provider Quota page (`Dashboard → Quota`) fills horizontal whitespace before stacking vertically ([#3520](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3520)) — `QuotaCardGrid` previously stacked every provider group in a single vertical `flex flex-col`, and each group's own card grid didn't go multi-column until `md` (`grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 xl:grid-cols-3 2xl:grid-cols-4`). Provider groups now flow into a 2-column CSS multi-column layout on very wide (`2xl`) screens instead of an unconditional vertical stack, and each group's card grid starts at 2 columns immediately (`grid-cols-2 md:grid-cols-3 xl:grid-cols-4`), reaching higher density sooner on narrower-but-not-mobile viewports. Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-card-grid-horizontal-layout.test.ts` (thanks @gdevenyi).
+- **feat(ws):** the live-dashboard WebSocket server now auto-starts in-process (via `instrumentation-node.ts`) across every deployment mode — dev, production, Docker, Electron — with no separate sidecar script; the default WS port moved from 20129 to **20132** to avoid colliding with `API_PORT` in split-port setups, the deprecated `OMNIROUTE_DISABLE_LIVE_WS` env was consolidated into `OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS` (default enabled), and the WS path is now derived from `NEXT_PUBLIC_LIVE_WS_PUBLIC_URL`'s pathname (`/live-ws` fallback) (#6072 — thanks @ianriizky).
+- **feat(compression):** new **omniglyph** engine (context-as-image) — renders system prompt, tool docs, and dense history as compact PNG pages the model reads instead of text (~10× fewer tokens on the converted block; 59–70% end-to-end measured). Works stacked with RTK/Caveman (`stackPriority: 90`) or standalone (`mode: omniglyph`); restricted to Claude Fable 5 over the direct Anthropic route, fail-closed gates with `skip:<reason>` techniques, preview (`stable: false`, off by default) (#6556). Dependency bumped to `omniglyph@^1.0.2` for upstream ReDoS fixes (#6661).
+- **feat(sandbox):** the skill sandbox gained a container-provider abstraction that auto-detects and uses the best native runtime per host — Apple Container (macOS 26+), WSL container (`wslc.exe`), OrbStack, Podman — instead of hardcoding `docker run`, removing the Docker Desktop requirement on macOS/Windows (#6611 — thanks @KooshaPari).
+- **fix(sse):** skip `thinkingConfig` for Gemma models on the OpenAI→Gemini path so OpenAI-shape clients no longer get a 400 from Vertex. (thanks @chy1211)
+- **feat(xai):** route xAI clients to Grok's native `/v1/responses` endpoint instead of the chat-completions bridge. (thanks @ryanngit)
+- **feat(models):** add a Settings → AI "Model Overrides" UI plus `/api/model-capability-overrides` CRUD and a `model_capability_overrides` table, letting operators set a manual max-output-token override per provider/model (#6727 — thanks @xz-dev).
+- **feat(resilience):** operator-configurable account rotation policy — a new `rotationConfig` layer lets operators tune how connections rotate on failure, wired into `accountFallback` (#6763 — thanks @artickc).
+- **chore(cursor): add Grok 4.5 effort/fast model IDs** (#6774 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- **feat(codex):** Codex provider model discovery now fetches the live catalog from `chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/models` using Codex-shaped headers, falling back to a GitHub-hosted model manifest and then to the local static catalog when the live/GitHub sources are unavailable or return an unexpected shape — new `src/app/api/providers/[id]/models/discovery/codex.ts` (normalization, version-gating, merge/enrich against the local catalog) covered by `tests/unit/provider-models-discovery-split.test.ts` and `tests/unit/provider-models-route-codex.test.ts` (#6776 — thanks @JxnLexn).
+- **feat(cursor):** register the Opus 4.8, Fable 5, and Sonnet 5 model families for the Cursor Agent provider so the latest Claude/Fable model ids route correctly (#6779 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- **Changelog fragments (`changelog.d/`)**: PRs now add their changelog entry as a new fragment file (`changelog.d/{features|fixes|maintenance}/<PR>-<slug>.md`) instead of editing `CHANGELOG.md` — two PRs never touch the same file, structurally eliminating the CHANGELOG-eat merge conflicts that forced a re-sync push + full CI re-run after every sibling merge (O(N²) CI runs in a merge-storm). `scripts/release/aggregate-changelog.mjs` (npm run changelog:aggregate) folds fragments into the living section at release reconciliation, and `check:changelog-integrity` now also validates fragment well-formedness. Regression guard: `tests/unit/changelog-fragments.test.ts`.
+- **feat(proxy):** add a latency-optimized proxy rotation strategy that ranks pool entries by measured round-trip latency, extending the existing round-robin/random/sticky proxy-pool selection (#6798 — thanks @iamraydoan).
+- **feat(fusion):** the fusion judge may now draw on its own knowledge and override the panel when every panel answer is wrong or incomplete, instead of being restricted to synthesizing only from panel output (#6804 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **feat(dashboard):** search box on the Playground's raw model `<select>` (#4086) — the shared `ModelSelectModal` (combo builder + CLI-code cards) already had search, but Playground's `StudioConfigPane` model dropdown stayed a flat unsearchable list, unusable once a provider like OpenRouter contributed 50+ models. Typing now filters the dropdown (Turkish-safe accent/case-insensitive match via `matchesSearch`), while the currently selected model always stays pinned in the list even if it no longer matches the query, so typing never silently swaps the active selection. Reuses the existing `common.search` i18n key (already translated in all 42 locales) — no new translation key needed. Regression guard: `tests/unit/playground-model-selection-3731.test.ts` (`filterModelsByQuery`), `tests/unit/ui/playground-model-search-4086.test.tsx`.
+- **feat(usage):** Antigravity/agy quota widget now surfaces the **weekly** window alongside the existing per-model 5-hour window ([#4017](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/4017)) — the weekly limit isn't part of the per-model `retrieveUserQuota` response the fetcher already calls; it only appears in a separate, undocumented `retrieveUserQuotaSummary` RPC that groups models into families ("Gemini Models", "Claude and GPT models") with one weekly bucket per family. A new `usage/antigravityWeeklyQuota.ts` leaf fetches that RPC (cached, best-effort — a failure or unavailable RPC never breaks the existing per-model quotas) and parses the weekly bucket per group into `gemini_weekly`/`claude_gpt_weekly` quota entries, merged into the same `quotas` map the widget already renders generically. Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-weekly-quota-4017.test.ts` (bucket parsing, the alternate `quotaSummary`-nested envelope, and end-to-end merge via `getUsageForProvider`).
+- **feat(codex):** Codex CLI compatibility shim — the Responses API `response.created`/`response.in_progress`/`response.completed` payloads now carry a `model` field (previously absent), and for Codex-CLI-originated requests it echoes the client-requested, effort-suffixed model id (e.g. `gpt-5.5-xhigh`) instead of the bare upstream id (`gpt-5.5`), so the Codex CLI status line/model button shows the active reasoning effort ([#3697](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3697)). `openaiToOpenAIResponsesResponse` (`open-sse/translator/response/openai-responses.ts`) now threads the upstream model into the Responses event objects; a new `isCodexOriginatedHeaders()` (`open-sse/config/codexIdentity.ts`, reusing PR #3481's `originator`/User-Agent detection) makes chatCore's existing opt-in `echoRequestedModelName` (#1311) model-echo pipeline fire automatically for Codex clients regardless of the setting, detected by request headers so it still applies when `codex/gpt-5.5-xhigh` is routed through a combo to a non-codex upstream; `echoModelInObject`/`echoModelInSseLine` (`open-sse/services/responseModelEcho.ts`) now also rewrite the nested `response.model` field the Responses API uses. `/v1/models` still returns `models: []` for Codex (unchanged). Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-effort-model-echo-3697.test.ts`.
+- **Z.ai Web (free web-session provider)**: new `zai-web` web-cookie provider drives the free chat.z.ai consumer chat UI via a pasted browser session cookie, distinct from the existing API-key `zai`/`glm`/`glm-cn`/`glmt` providers (`api.z.ai`) — modeled on the `doubao-web`/`venice-web` cookie executors and the pre-existing `chatglm-web` credential requirement/token-extraction entries. `ZaiWebExecutor` (`open-sse/executors/zai-web.ts`) posts to `chat.z.ai/api/chat/completions` with the cookie forwarded both as `Cookie` and as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`, and normalizes both z.ai's internal `delta_content`/`phase` SSE envelope and a pass-through OpenAI-shaped `choices[].delta` frame into standard chat-completion chunks. Registered in `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS`, `WEB_SESSION_CREDENTIAL_REQUIREMENTS`, the provider registry (`zai-web` entry, GLM-4.6/4.5/4.5V models), and `tokenExtractionConfig.ts` for in-app cookie capture. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executor-zai-web.test.ts` (16 tests — token extraction, frame parsing for both SSE shapes, streaming and non-streaming aggregation, error paths). (#4056)
+- **feat(compression):** update the vendored **GCF** codec behind the **Headroom** engine to spec **v3.2 (nested flattening)** ([#6837](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6837)). Homogeneous arrays whose rows carry nested objects/arrays now tabularize via `>`-prefixed path fields instead of a low-yield per-row fallback, so nested MCP tool-result rows (`meta:{...}`, `tags:[...]`) compact like flat rows. On representative shapes the update takes deeply-nested payloads the old codec left near-uncompressed from ~3% to ~32% vs JSON (k8s pods, `cl100k_base`), with shallow-nested rows seeing a small bump and flat arrays unchanged. Re-vendored from current gcf-typescript (zero runtime deps, MIT, SPDX-marked, generic-profile only); also folds in the `[N]:` inline-array quoting fix and canonical decimal formatting. Round-trip stays lossless (order-insensitive), and the decoder is hardened against prototype pollution (a `__proto__`/`constructor` path segment never mutates `Object.prototype`, and keys shadowing built-ins like `toString` now round-trip correctly instead of misparsing). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression/headroom-smartcrusher.test.ts` (deep-nested + prototype-pollution cases).
+- **feat(providers):** Add GPT-5.6 support across OpenAI API, Codex, and ChatGPT Web, including Codex Max/Ultra efforts, VS Code metadata, Fast-tier credit accounting, curated live discovery, the Codex 0.144.1 client identity, and correct chat routing for models that also support image generation ([#6862](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6862)) - thanks @backryun
+- **chore(providers):** Align emitted Claude Code identity headers, bridge fingerprints, provider profiles, and documented defaults with claude-cli 2.1.207 ([#6862](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6862)) - thanks @backryun
+
+### 🐛 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(dashboard):** the Proxy Registry settings page crashed at runtime (`ReferenceError: poolLoaded/bulkImportOpen is not defined`) — the #6625/#6909 hook-extraction refactors deleted 10 state declarations (`poolLoaded`, `poolSaving`, and the 8-member bulk-import family) while ~30 usages remained; all restored (caught by the release E2E; `typecheck:core` does not cover dashboard TSX — follow-up #7021). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(combo):** `comboStickyRoundRobinLimit` now defaults to inherit (`null`) instead of `1` — the literal default silently shadowed the documented batched round-robin rotation (`stickyRoundRobinLimit: 3`), flipping every round-robin combo to per-request alternation (#6678 follow-up, caught by the release CI). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(ws):** the standalone LiveWS startup script exited 0 without ever listening — its bootstrapped child re-spawned with the import-suppressor `OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS=0` and then honored it as an operator disable (#6072 follow-up, caught by the release CI). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(api):** compression PUT schema accepts every catalog engine. ([#6792](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6792) — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch)

+- **fix(providers):** enrich the model_cooldown 429 body with a `retry_after` ISO timestamp + credential count. ([#6460](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6460), [#6523](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6523) — thanks @chirag127)

+- **fix(oauth):** Trae OAuth client_id embedded via `resolvePublicCred()` (Hard Rule #11). ([#6870](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6870) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(sse):** combo path no longer trips the whole-provider breaker on a plain 429. ([#6868](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6868) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** malformed JSON bodies now return 400 instead of 500. ([#6871](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6871) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(fusion):** judge selected from a surviving panel member when no explicit judge is configured. ([#6869](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6869) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(sse):** combo model lockout honors the parsed upstream quota reset. ([#6863](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6863), [#6866](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6866) — thanks @AgentKiller45)
+- **fix(dashboard):** logs detail modal no longer reopens on first close. ([#6830](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6830) — thanks @MikeTuev)
+- **fix(usage):** honor xAI provider-reported exact cost. ([#6711](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6711) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(kiro):** probe IdC region during profileArn discovery, cross-region (recovers #6099). ([#6840](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6840) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(antigravity):** sanitize Cloud Code safety settings. ([#6839](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6839) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(translator):** defer `content_block_start` until GLM streams the tool name. ([#6730](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6730) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(translator):** strip empty `cloud_base_branch` from Cursor Subagent tool calls. ([#6729](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6729) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(antigravity):** surface aborted Gemini tool calls off `end_turn`. ([#6713](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6713) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(volcengine):** clamp Kimi `max_tokens` to the Ark endpoint cap. ([#6712](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6712) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(codex):** surface capacity errors embedded in 200-OK SSE streams. ([#6710](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6710) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(sse):** skip `thinkingConfig` for gemma models in openai→gemini translation. ([#6708](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6708) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(oauth):** avoid bare-email dedup of Codex OAuth logins. ([#6706](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6706) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(sse):** unwrap bare `{function:{…}}` tools in openai→claude translation. ([#6704](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6704) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(db):** eliminate a redundant `getApiKeyMetadata` call in the embeddings route. ([#6929](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6929) — thanks @oyi77)
+- **fix(db):** `authType` filter support in `getProviderConnections`. ([#6946](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6946) — thanks @oyi77)
+- **fix(i18n):** the provider-detail (`/dashboard/providers/[id]`) visibility + free/paid model filter labels (`showVisibleOnly`, `showHiddenOnly`, `freeFilterAll`, `freeFilterFreeOnly`, `freeFilterPaidOnly`, `hideAllModels`, plus the currently-unused `filterVisible`/`filterHidden`/`filterByVisibility`) rendered as the literal `__MISSING__:<english>` sentinel in 15 locales, including pt-BR ([#6694](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6694)) — `providerText()` (`providerPageHelpers.ts`) checks `t.has(key)` before falling back to clean English, and `t.has()` returns `true` even when the stored value is the `__MISSING__:` sentinel `scripts/i18n/sync-ui-keys.mjs` writes when mirroring keys across locales, so the sentinel rendered verbatim instead of the fallback. Disjoint key set from #6290 (`filterAll`/`filterActive`/`filterError`/`filterBanned`/`filterCreditsExhausted`). All 9 keys now carry real translations across the 15 affected locale files (`it`, `ja`, `ko`, `mr`, `ms`, `nl`, `no`, `phi`, `pl`, `pt`, `pt-BR`, `ro`, `ru`, `sk`, `sv`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-provider-visibility-filter-keys-6694.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(cli):** the dashboard's Claude Code CLI card could report "Not detected"/"Not installed" even when Claude Code was genuinely installed and previously used ([#6701](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6701)) — `getCliRuntimeStatus()` (`src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts`) determined `installed` purely from binary resolution (known install paths + a `where`/`which` PATH search), with no fallback when that lookup fails for reasons unrelated to whether the CLI is actually installed (stale PATH inherited by a long-running/background process, the binary having moved, an install method not yet catalogued, etc.) — even though `~/.claude/settings.json` on disk proves the tool was installed and used before. Upstream 9router's equivalent route already has this exact fallback. A new `withSettingsFallback()` (`src/shared/services/cliInstallFallback.ts`) restores 9router parity: when the binary lookup's own reason is `"not_found"` (never for deliberate security rejections like unsafe/relative env overrides or symlink escapes) and the tool's settings file exists on disk, `installed` now reports `true`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6701-claude-detect-fallback.test.ts`.
+- **fix(cli):** per-agent AgentBridge DNS toggle was broken for 8 of the 9 supported agents, and a failed MITM startup step could orphan the spawned proxy child — `addDNSEntry`/`removeDNSEntry` (`src/mitm/dns/dnsConfig.ts`) always resolved the legacy Antigravity default hosts regardless of which agent's toggle was flipped, so enabling DNS for Cursor/Codex/Claude Code/etc. silently added only `daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com` while the DB recorded `dns_enabled=true` for the selected agent. Both functions now accept an optional `agentId` and resolve hosts via `ALL_TARGETS`; `POST /api/tools/agent-bridge/agents/[id]/dns` passes the route's `id` through and now returns 404 for an id that doesn't match a known target instead of silently falling back. Separately, `startMitmInternal()` (`src/mitm/manager.ts`) now wraps `generateCert()` (log + rethrow), the `provisionDnsEntries()` call, and the PID-file write in try/catch so a mid-startup failure can't orphan the already-spawned MITM child process. On Windows, `addDNSEntries`/`removeDNSEntries` also batch every missing/present entry into a single elevated PowerShell invocation instead of one UAC prompt per host line. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dns-config-generic.test.ts` (agent-specific resolution + batching), `tests/unit/agent-bridge-dns-route-validation.test.ts` (404 for unknown agent id). ([#6338](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6338) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **fix(guardrails):** Vision Bridge's individual-model auto-reroute (route an image-bearing request straight to a vision-capable model instead of describe-then-forward) could bypass a policy-restricted API key's model allowlist/budget ([#6640](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6640)) — `VisionBridgeGuardrail.preCall()` (`src/lib/guardrails/visionBridge.ts`) swaps `body.model` to the best available vision-capable model, but that swap happens in the guardrail pipeline AFTER `chat.ts` already called `enforceApiKeyPolicy()` against the ORIGINAL model, so a key scoped to a narrow `allowedModels` list could still execute against an unvetted (and possibly costlier) vision model the reroute picked. `chat.ts` now re-validates any guardrail-driven model change against the same per-key allowlist (`isModelAllowedForKey`) before honoring it, falling back to the original already-approved model when the reroute target is not allowed. The reroute path also now honors an explicit `settings.visionBridgeModel` operator override (previously ignored, unlike the combo/describe path a few lines below it, which already respects it via `getVisionBridgeConfig`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/guardrails/visionBridge.test.ts` (22 tests). (thanks @herjarsa)
+- **fix(auth):** an API key restricted via `allowedModels`/`allowedCombos` could bypass that restriction entirely over the Codex Responses-over-WebSocket bridge ([#6564](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6564)) — `prepare()` in `src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts` authenticated the WS bridge's API key (`authenticate()`/`authorizeWebSocketHandshake()`) and honored `allowedConnections`, but never called `enforceApiKeyPolicy()`, the same model/combo policy gate the HTTP `/v1/responses` path enforces via `handleChat()` — so a key scoped to e.g. `combo/model-1.0` could still reach a direct Codex model like `gpt-5.5` through this transport, as long as an eligible Codex OAuth connection existed. The bridge's WS auth token arrives via query params (`api_key`/`token`/`access_token`), not a normal `Authorization` header, so a new `enforceCodexWsApiKeyPolicy()` builds an equivalent `Request` carrying an explicit `Authorization: Bearer <apiKey>` header and calls `enforceApiKeyPolicy()` against the CLIENT-requested model, before any Codex-specific model remapping or credential selection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-ws-policy-enforcement-6564.test.ts` (a model-restricted key is rejected 403 before reaching credential selection; a combo-restricted key is rejected 403 requesting a disallowed combo; a key that DOES allow the requested model still proceeds past policy). (thanks @Squawk7777 for the report and an independent fix via #6565)
+- **fix(security):** loopback-gate `/api/middleware/*` so a leaked JWT over a tunnel can't install or trigger a middleware hook — middleware hooks compile + run arbitrary JS via `new vm.Script` on the request hot path (`src/lib/middleware/registry.ts`), the same RCE class as the already-gated `/api/plugins/*`; `/api/middleware/` is now in `LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` so loopback enforcement runs unconditionally before any auth check (Hard Rules #15 + #17). Regression guard: `tests/unit/route-guard-middleware-local-only.test.ts`. ([#6541](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6541)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(startup):** AgentBridge's MITM server no longer fails to start with `ROUTER_API_KEY is required` on a normal install ([#6403](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6403)) — `POST /api/tools/agent-bridge/server` resolved the spawned MITM child's router key from only an explicit `apiKey` body field (never sent by the AgentBridge UI — the schema has no such field) and the `ROUTER_API_KEY` env var (unset by default), so `startMitm()` always received `""` and the child hard-exited, even though OmniRoute already had a usable API key in its own DB. A new `resolveRouterApiKey()` now falls back to `pickApiKeyForInternalUse()` (the same DB-backed selector the combo-health-check / cloud-sync internal probes use), resolving in order: explicit key → `ROUTER_API_KEY` env → an existing DB key. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentbridge-mitm-router-key-6403.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** deploying a Cloudflare relay Worker from Dashboard → System → Proxy pool → Cloudflare relay failed immediately with `Cloudflare Worker upload failed: Content-Type must be one of: application/javascript, text/javascript, multipart/form-data`, even with a valid token/account ([#6416](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6416)) — the Worker-script upload built a native `FormData` and let `fetch` derive the multipart Content-Type automatically, but in production `globalThis.fetch` is patched with `node_modules/undici`'s own fetch (`open-sse/utils/proxyFetch.ts`), whose `FormData`/`Request` classes differ from the runtime's global `FormData` (same cross-realm class mismatch already fixed once for image edits in #3273); passing a native `FormData` instance through undici's patched fetch made it serialize the body as the literal string `"[object FormData]"` with `Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8`, which Cloudflare rejects outright. `buildCloudflareWorkerUploadRequest()` (`src/lib/proxyRelay/cloudflareWorkerScript.ts`) now builds the multipart body as a raw `Buffer` with an explicit boundary and `Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=…` header, accepted verbatim by any fetch implementation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloudflare-worker-upload-content-type-6416.test.ts` + updated `tests/unit/relay-deploy-5128.test.ts`.
+- **fix(security):** SSRF-guard the provider-validation probes so they can no longer be used as an open relay to cloud-metadata endpoints — `directHttpsRequest()` (web-cookie / NVIDIA / Z.AI validation, all with a caller-controllable `baseUrl`) ran with `guard:"none"` + `allowRedirect:true`; it now applies `getProviderValidationGuard()` (default `block-metadata`: LAN/localhost allowed, `169.254.169.254`/link-local IMDS rejected, opt-out via `OMNIROUTE_ALLOW_PRIVATE_PROVIDER_URLS`) and `allowRedirect:false` so a provider can't 3xx-redirect the probe to metadata past the initial-URL guard. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-validation-ssrf-guard.test.ts`. ([#6542](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6542)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(startup):** AgentBridge's MITM proxy served a mismatched cert for 3 of the 4 antigravity/cloudcode-pa hosts it terminates TLS for, breaking interception ([#6494](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6494)) — `src/mitm/server.cjs`'s `TARGET_HOSTS` decrypts all 4 hosts locally (`daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`, `cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`, `daily-cloudcode-pa.sandbox.googleapis.com`, `autopush-cloudcode-pa.sandbox.googleapis.com`), but `src/mitm/cert/generate.ts`'s self-signed cert only carried a SAN entry for the first host — a request to any of the other 3 got served a cert whose CN/SAN didn't match (confirmed via `curl -k https://cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com/` showing `CN=daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`). `generateCert()` now sources its host list from `ANTIGRAVITY_TARGET.hosts` (`src/mitm/targets/antigravity.ts`, the single authoritative registry already kept in lock-step with `server.cjs`/`dnsConfig.ts`/`mitmToolHosts.ts` by their own drift tests) and emits a SAN entry for all 4 hosts instead of hard-coding a second, incomplete copy. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentbridge-antigravity-cert-hosts-6494.test.ts` (asserts the host list covers all 4 hosts and that the real generated cert's SAN includes each one).
+- **fix(resilience):** a `priority` combo never fell back when a target masked credit/quota exhaustion behind an HTTP 200 ([#6427](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6427)) — `validateResponseQuality()` (`open-sse/services/combo/validateQuality.ts`) only inspected the response body's top-level `error` field when `choices` was ALSO missing/empty (the narrower #3424 empty-completion case); a masked 200 that echoed a non-empty stub `choices` alongside a structured error object, or a known exhaustion phrase (e.g. "insufficient credits", "quota exceeded") in the error envelope, slipped through as "valid" and the combo kept returning the dead target's response forever instead of failing over. The quality check now inspects the error envelope — a top-level OpenAI-shape `error` object, or a bounded, case-insensitive exhaustion-phrase match against `error.message`/`error.code`/`error.type`/top-level `message`/`detail` — unconditionally, before any shape-specific branch, and regardless of whether `choices`/`output` also look structurally present. The check never inspects `choices[].message.content`, so a legitimate completion that merely mentions "quota" or "credits" in assistant prose is not misclassified. Regression guard: `tests/unit/masked-200-exhaustion-fallback-6427.test.ts`.
+- **fix(security):** fail-closed CORS for the cookie/session-authed cloud-agent management routes — `getCloudAgentCorsHeaders()` reflected any caller's `Origin` and paired it with `Allow-Credentials: true` (a CSRF/exfil hole); it now defers to the central allowlist (`resolveAllowedOrigin`), echoes only an allowlisted origin with `Vary: Origin`, and emits `Allow-Credentials` only for an explicitly allowlisted origin — never for a `CORS_ALLOW_ALL` wildcard echo. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloud-agent-cors-failclosed.test.ts`. ([#6543](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6543)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(compression):** adaptive-compression ladder ranked 6 real catalog engines (`ccr`, `ionizer`, `relevance`, `llmlingua`, `llm`, `read-lifecycle`) as if they didn't exist ([#6533](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6533)) — `ladder.ts`'s `AGGRESSIVENESS` and `REDUCTION_FACTOR` maps only covered the 7 engines wired into `DEFAULT_LADDER` (session-dedup/rtk/headroom/lite/caveman/aggressive/ultra); every other engine registered in `open-sse/services/compression/engines/index.ts` — including `ccr`/`llmlingua`, which the ladder doc comment already says are intentionally addable via `ladderOverride` — fell through to `aggressivenessOf()`'s `?? 0` default (same rank as `"off"`) and `expectedReductionFactor()`'s generic `?? 0.9` fallback, so `floor`-mode escalation could not rank or escalate past them once added to a custom ladder. Both maps now carry entries for all 6 missing real engines, rescaled ×10 (`off:0` … `ultra:70`) and placed by each engine's documented `stackPriority` (`ionizer` between `rtk`/`headroom`, `relevance` before `caveman`, `llmlingua`/`llm` between `aggressive` and `ultra`, etc.); `mcpAccessibility` — named in the report — is not a registered `CompressionEngine` (it's a separate MCP tool-response truncation mechanism) and was correctly left out. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ladder-engine-maps-6533.test.ts` (asserts every id from `listCompressionEngines()` ranks above `"off"` with a non-default reduction factor). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** tool-call arguments could render as `[object Object]` sequences instead of the real JSON through the `/anthropic` (Anthropic-shape `/messages`) routing path ([#6459](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6459)) — `appendToolCallArgumentDelta()` (`open-sse/utils/toolCallArguments.ts`), the shared accumulator the streaming `openai-to-claude` response translator, `openai-responses` translator, and `responsesTransformer` all call to build up a tool call's `arguments`/`input_json_delta` buffer, treated any non-string `incoming` fragment as an empty string. Some upstreams deliver the full `tool_calls[].function.arguments` value as an already-parsed JSON object/array instead of the OpenAI-contracted JSON-encoded string; the old code silently discarded that fragment, leaving `tool_use.input` empty, and left downstream buffers open to a plain string coercion of the object (`[object Object]`) once client-side concatenation kicked in. `appendToolCallArgumentDelta()` now `JSON.stringify()`s a non-string, non-null object/array fragment into a valid JSON fragment instead of dropping it, so the assembled `partial_json` always parses back into the original structured value. Regression guard: `tests/unit/anthropic-toolcall-args-6459.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(providers):** `fusion` combo returned the opaque `"All fusion panel models failed"` 503 even when only a minority of panel members were actually cooling down / rate-limited, and a user-supplied `fusionTuning.minPanel=1` was silently overridden ([#6454](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6454)) — `handleFusionChat()` hard-clamped the quorum floor via `Math.min(Math.max(2, cfg.minPanel), panel.length)`, so an operator-configured `minPanel=1` never took effect: `collectPanel()`'s straggler-grace timer only starts once `ok >= minPanel`, and with the floor forced to 2 a single fast success plus N slow-failing stragglers never reached quorum, so the panel sat waiting instead of degrading to the survivor. Per-member failure reasons (`straggler_dropped`/`timeout`/`threw`/`status_XXX`/`empty_content`/`unparseable`) were also logged server-side but never surfaced in the 503 body, leaving operators unable to tell a rate-limit fan-fail from a broader outage. Fixed by honoring `Math.max(1, cfg.minPanel)` and threading a `failures: Array<{ model, reason }>` collector into the 503 message (`model=reason` per entry) — production fix already merged via #6521; this entry backfills the missing CHANGELOG bullet and adds an 11-member, `fusion-free`-scale regression test matching the original repro shape (a cooling minority must not sink a healthy majority; a genuinely all-failed panel still returns the documented 503). Regression guard: `tests/unit/services/fusion-min-panel-and-failure-detail.test.ts` + `tests/unit/fusion-partial-panel-failure-6454.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(providers):** `fusion` combo strategy silently returned a panel member's raw answer instead of the configured `config.judgeModel` synthesis ([#6455](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6455)) — `handleFusionChat()`'s single-survivor "degrade gracefully" path (added for #6454) returned the lone panel answer directly whenever only one panelist succeeded, regardless of whether an explicit `judgeModel` was configured; with the default `minPanel: 2` and a 2-model panel, any single flaky/rate-limited panelist forced this path on every request, so the configured judge (e.g. `auto/claude-opus`) was never invoked and the client-visible `.model` reflected whichever panelist happened to survive. The judge is now still invoked to synthesize a lone surviving answer whenever `judgeModel` is explicitly configured; the cheap direct-answer shortcut is kept only for the implicit case (no `judgeModel` set, where the "judge" is just `panel[0]`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/fusion-judge-model-6455.test.ts` + updated `tests/unit/combo-fusion-strategy.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(combo):** sanitized diagnostic trace on an auto-combo terminal failure — instead of an opaque 503, a terminal combo failure now returns a whitelist-projected trace (candidate pool size, attempted count, excluded provider/reason codes, attempt order, and a terminal-reason code) via the new `errorResponseWithComboDiagnostics()`/`sanitizeComboDiagnostics()` in `open-sse/utils/error.ts` — provider/model ids and enumerated reason codes only, never keys/tokens/bodies, length- and count-capped. A reasoning-budget-exhausted panel now returns an actionable "increase max_tokens" message rather than a blind retry-limit 503. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-diagnostics-trace.test.ts`. ([#6545](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6545)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** image/diffusion models discovered from an upstream catalog (e.g. HuggingFace's live `/v1/models`) are no longer advertised as chat models ([#6457](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6457)) — the chat catalog builder defaulted synced models with no modality info to `endpoints: ["chat"]`, so `huggingface/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0` showed up in the chat `/v1/models` listing and returned `400 "not a chat model"` when called. `catalog.ts` now skips any synced model already registered as an image model for that provider (via the new `isRegisteredImageModel()`), leaving `getAllImageModels()` to list it with the correct `type: "image"`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/image-model-not-in-chat-catalog-6457.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** combo session stickiness never released a pin on a credits-exhausted/banned/expired account, permanently defeating failover for that conversation ([#6692](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6692)) — `applySessionStickiness()` (`open-sse/services/combo/sessionStickiness.ts`) gated the sticky pin only on 5h/weekly usage-percentage headroom, which is orthogonal to account availability: a `credits_exhausted`/`banned`/`expired` connection, or one still inside its `rateLimitedUntil` cooldown, reports perfectly healthy headroom, so the pin was force-promoted back to the front of the target list on every subsequent turn. `clearStickyBinding()` also had zero call sites in `combo.ts`'s failure paths, so a quality-validation-rejected 200 (a masked daily-cap refusal) never released the pin either. The gate now also resolves the bound connection's terminal status/cooldown via a new injectable fetcher seam (fail-open on lookup errors, mirroring the existing saturation fetcher), and `combo.ts`'s two dispatchers (`handleComboChat`/`handleRoundRobinCombo`) release the pin immediately at both their connection-exhaustion classification point and their quality-validation-failure branch via the new `releaseStickyPinOnFailure()`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6692-sticky-terminal.test.ts` + extended `tests/unit/combo-session-stickiness.test.ts`.
+- **fix(test):** replace the bare `expect(true).toBe(true)` tautology in `playground-api-tab.test.tsx`'s SSE test and close the `check:test-masking` gap that let it slip through for a full cycle ([#6404](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6404)) — a prior pass (#6548) had already swapped the literal to `expect(sendBtn).toBeDefined()`, but that stayed just as vacuous: the test's fetch mock returned an empty `/v1/models` list, so `ApiTab`'s Send button is always `disabled` (`!selectedModel`) and the SSE branch never runs — the "SSE infra is verified" comment was never true. The test now mocks a real model, drives the model `<select>` to enable Send, asserts `sendBtn.disabled === false` before clicking, and asserts the streamed SSE delta (`"Hello!"`) actually reached the response editor. Root cause on the detector side: `check-test-masking.mjs`'s tautology subcheck only compares base-vs-HEAD counts within a PR's own diff (`headExtTaut > baseExtTaut`) and no-ops locally when `GITHUB_BASE_SHA`/`GITHUB_BASE_REF` are unset ("sem base ref — pulando") — so a tautology merged once, or checked with a bare local run, was invisible forever after. Added a new always-on, PR-independent absolute-floor scan (`scanBareTautologies` + `countBareTautologies`) over every git-tracked test file for the bare `expect(true).toBe(true)` / `assert.equal(1,1)` / `assert.strictEqual(1,1)` patterns specifically (deliberately excluding `assert.ok(true)`, which has ~15 pre-existing verified-legitimate try/catch-fallback uses repo-wide and stays governed by the lenient diff-only subcheck) — verified zero pre-existing hits repo-wide once this file was fixed, so the new floor is safe to enforce unconditionally. Regression guard: `tests/unit/check-test-masking.test.ts` (new `scanBareTautologies`/`countBareTautologies` cases) + `tests/unit/ui/playground-api-tab.test.tsx`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(oauth):** Codex/ChatGPT (and every other OAuth provider) connection stays stuck showing "Auth Failed" even after a genuinely successful token refresh ([#6352](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6352)) — `updateProviderCredentials()` (the shared `onPersist` callback for the manual "Refresh token" route, the reactive per-request refresh in `chat.ts`, and the Codex/Claude auth-file importers) correctly reused the stored `refresh_token`, persisted the new `access_token`, and replaced a rotated `refresh_token`, but never cleared the stale `testStatus`/`lastError*`/`errorCode` fields left over from a prior expired/invalid refresh or upstream 401/403 — only the separate background health-check sweep did that clearing. A successful refresh now resets `testStatus` to `"active"` and clears `lastError`, `lastErrorAt`, `lastErrorType`, `lastErrorSource`, and `errorCode` (an explicit `testStatus` from the caller still wins). Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-oauth-refresh-persist-6352.test.ts`.
+- **perf(health):** short-TTL (1s) cache for the frequently-polled `GET /api/monitoring/health` payload — rebuilding it every request (DB reads + status aggregation across 8 subsystems) was wasteful under rapid polling; the cache stays near-real-time and is invalidated immediately on `DELETE` (circuit-breaker reset) so a manual reset is reflected at once. Regression guard: `tests/integration/monitoring-health-cache.test.ts`. ([#6553](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6553)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(resilience):** `headroom` combo routing did not always select the Codex account with the most free quota ([#6379](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6379)) — `orderTargetsByHeadroom` (`open-sse/services/combo/quotaStrategies.ts`) already loaded the per-connection DB snapshot (with decrypted credentials) via `expandTargetsByQuotaAwareConnections`, but discarded it before calling `getSaturation`; for Codex, `fetchCodexSaturation` forwards straight to `fetchCodexQuota(connectionId, connection)`, which needs `connection` (or a prior `registerCodexConnection()` call, which never happens before headroom ranking runs) to read `accessToken` — so it returned `null` for every candidate, saturation failed open to `0` across the board, and ranking fell back to the original combo order regardless of actual free quota. `getSaturation()` and the headroom `SaturationFetcher` seam now accept and thread the loaded connection snapshot through to `fetchCodexQuota`. Kilo's dup flag vs #5903 was a false positive — that issue is about session-sticky reset-aware/least-used selection, not headroom's Codex saturation lookup. Regression guard: `tests/unit/headroom-codex-quota-snapshot-6379.test.ts`. (thanks @eidoog)
+- **fix(providers):** custom models a provider actually has are no longer dropped from the Free Provider Rankings when both **"Configured only"** and **"Available only"** filters are applied ([#6368](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6368)), follow-up to #6150 — `freeProviderRankings.ts::getProviderModels()` only ever walked the static `open-sse/config/providerRegistry.ts` catalog, so a user-added custom model (e.g. a Puter `claude-fable-5` model saved as "Claude Fable 5") never entered the candidate model list the ranking scores against, and could never survive the #6150 configured/available filters even when actually configured and available. It now additively merges the provider's custom models (`db/models.ts::getCustomModels`) into that candidate list via a new pure, de-duping `mergeProviderModels()` helper, before scoring/filtering runs — catalog free/paid filtering elsewhere is untouched. Regression guard: `tests/unit/free-provider-rankings-custom-models-6368.test.ts`. (thanks @shabeer)
+- **fix(playground):** accept a valid dashboard session for `GET/POST /api/playground/presets` under `REQUIRE_API_KEY=true` — the Playground page calls this route with a cookie/session and no API key, which previously 401'd the authenticated dashboard; `checkAuth()` now accepts a management/dashboard session (`requireManagementAuth`) as an alternative to an API key, while a presented API key must still be valid and the anonymous-allowed default is preserved. Regression guard: `tests/integration/presets-dashboard-auth.test.ts`. ([#6554](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6554)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** `cloudflare-ai` no longer silently drops image/non-text content parts ([#6390](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6390)) — `transformRequest()`'s `flattenContent()` (added for #2539 to satisfy the Workers AI `/ai/v1/chat/completions` plain-string `content` requirement) mapped any non-text OpenAI content part (e.g. `image_url`) to `""` and joined the rest, so a request carrying an image quietly went out as text-only with the attachment gone and no error surfaced. It now throws a clear error on the first non-text part instead of dropping it silently, which the existing top-level `chatCore.ts` catch already routes through `buildErrorBody()`/`sanitizeErrorMessage()` (same pattern as `buildUrl()`'s missing-Account-ID error). Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloudflare-ai-image-parts-6390.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** stop Antigravity connections from falsely reporting **all-accounts quota-exhausted** ([#6295](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6295)) — `genericQuotaFetcher.ts::percentUsedForQuota()` ignored the `fractionReported` flag and defaulted an unreported model's `remainingPercentage` to 0, which computed as 100% used; since `convertUsageToQuotaInfo()` takes the worst-case window across a connection, a single model with no reported fraction dragged the whole account into `limitReached` and `quotaPreflight` skipped it. `percentUsedForQuota()` now returns `null` (unknown, window ignored) whenever `fractionReported === false`, before falling back to `remainingPercentage`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/generic-quota-fetcher.test.ts`.
+- **fix(fusion):** the fusion judge no longer replays a panel member's answer via an idempotency-key collision — fusion's panel + judge sub-requests re-enter `chatCore` sharing the client's headers, so they derived the same `Idempotency-Key`/`x-request-id` and a panel answer saved under the key was replayed by the judge's check ~1ms later (inside the 5s window), returning a panel member's answer instead of the judge synthesis (observed live on `nexa/conversation-fusion`). `composeIdempotencyKey()` now namespaces the key by target provider/model + a digest of the request messages, so sub-requests can't collide while a genuine client retry (same key/model/body) still replays. Regression guard: `tests/unit/idempotency-fusion-collision.test.ts`. ([#6558](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6558)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** grok-cli (Grok Build) now strips `reasoning_effort`/`reasoning` before forwarding the request ([#6288](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6288)) — Claude Code sends `reasoning_effort` on every request (routing the Opus slot), which Grok Build's upstream chat-proxy endpoint rejects with a 400; `transformRequest()`'s existing `UNSUPPORTED` sampling-param strip list (#5273) never covered it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/grok-cli-reasoning-strip-6288.test.ts`.
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute serve` no longer hangs silently on a readiness timeout ([#6321](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6321)) — the child server's stdout was piped to `"ignore"` whenever `--log`/`OMNIROUTE_SHOW_LOG` wasn't set (the default), discarding any debug output, and `runWithSupervisor`'s `waitForServer(...).then((up) => { if (up) {...} })` had no `else` branch, so a boot that never became ready produced zero further output after "⏳ Starting server...". Stdout is now buffered alongside stderr (`ServerSupervisor.getRecentLog()`), and a timeout prints a clear diagnostic plus the buffered output instead of staying silent. Does not by itself explain why boot never completes on a given machine — see the issue for further reproduction. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli-serve-readiness-timeout-6321.test.ts`.
+- **fix(pricing):** Pricing Sync dashboard no longer stuck on "Next Sync: Never" / "Synced Models: 0" ([#6325](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6325)) — `pricingSync.ts` kept sync state (`lastSyncTime`, `lastSyncModelCount`) in module-level vars, but the background periodic sync (`instrumentation-node.ts`) and the dashboard status route (`/api/pricing/sync`) each import the module from separate Next.js standalone webpack chunks, giving each its own independent state; `getSyncStatus()` read the (empty) API-route instance's vars. Sync status is now additionally persisted to a new `pricing_sync_status` `key_value` namespace and `getSyncStatus()` falls back to it when the local module instance never ran a sync itself. Regression guard: `tests/unit/pricing-sync-cross-instance.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** stop spuriously 403-ing "Invalid request origin" on `POST /api/providers/health-autopilot/actions` for Docker/LAN dashboard requests ([#6277](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6277)) — the route carried a duplicate per-route `validateBrowserMutationOrigin` check re-added by the v3.8.42 release squash after PR #5278 centralized origin enforcement in the authz pipeline; the pipeline strips `PEER_IP_HEADER` before forwarding, so the stale duplicate check could no longer resolve the LAN "direct-local-host" candidate and rejected legitimate same-origin LAN mutations (e.g. clicking "remove cooldown" when accessed via a LAN IP). Removed the duplicate check — origin validation is now solely enforced by the centralized pipeline check, which already handles this case correctly. Regression guard: `tests/unit/serial/provider-health-autopilot.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** a bare, unrecognized `403` from a no-credential (`authType:"none"`) provider like mimocode or theoldllm no longer permanently bans the connection ([#6315](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6315), [#6345](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6345)) — `classifyProviderError()`'s 403 branch only exempted `apikey` providers from the terminal `FORBIDDEN` classification, so these free/stateless proxies (no real account/credential to revoke) fell through to `FORBIDDEN` on the first unmatched 403 and got `isActive:false, testStatus:"banned"` with no cooldown or retry. The exemption now also covers `authType:"none"` providers, returning `null` (recoverable) so the existing connection-cooldown/retry layer handles it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/errorClassifier-noauth-403-6315.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** the **Auggie (Augment CLI)** executor no longer fails on Windows with `spawn EINVAL` ([#6304](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6304)) — the global-npm install exposes `auggie` as a `.cmd` shim, which Node's `child_process.spawn` cannot launch on win32 without `shell: true`. Both spawn sites (streaming + the `auggie --version` test) now go through a shared `buildAuggieSpawnOptions()` that sets `shell: process.platform === "win32"`; the argv (built by `buildAuggieArgs()` with a registry-validated `model` and a trailing `--` end-of-options marker) is unchanged, so the argument-injection surface stays closed on non-Windows. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auggie-win32-spawn-6304.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** the dashboard **"Test model"** action is now a clean connection test ([#6240](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6240)) — `modelTestRunner` sent its probe request without an explicit compression override, so whenever the operator's global `compression.enabled` flag was on the test call inherited compression (and any Output-Styles system prompt), polluting the result. The internal test requests now send `X-OmniRoute-Compression: off`, and `chatCore` honors an explicit `off` header even when `compression.enabled` is globally true. Regression guards: `tests/unit/model-test-runner-compression-off-6240.test.ts`, `tests/integration/test-model-compression-off-6240.test.ts`.
+- **fix(startup):** an update/restart could crash the whole server at boot with `TypeError: Cannot create property 'message' on string 'Database closed'`, masking the real failure and 500-ing every request until manually restarted ([#6560](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6560), plausibly the root cause of #6594's post-upgrade 500) — `driverFactory.ts::preInitSqlJs()` cached its sql.js WASM adapter per file path in a `globalThis`-backed map for idempotency, but never checked whether the cached adapter had since been closed (e.g. by `gracefulShutdown`/`resetDbInstance` racing a reload); reusing that dead handle made the very next query throw sql.js's own bare string `"Database closed"` (not an `Error`) straight out of `instrumentation-node.ts`'s previously-unguarded `ensureDbInitialized()` call, and Next.js's internal `registerInstrumentation()` wrapper unconditionally does `err.message = ...` on whatever `register()` rejects with — assigning `.message` on a primitive string throws in strict mode, so the secondary `TypeError` is what actually crashed the process. Fixed in two parts: `preInitSqlJs()` now evicts a closed cached adapter and creates a fresh one instead of returning it; a new `ensureDbReadyForBoot()` wraps the DB-init call, normalizes any non-Error throw via `normalizeBootError()`, and retries once specifically for a transient "database closed" message (now succeeding against the fresh adapter) before re-throwing anything else as a real `Error`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/instrumentation-database-closed-6560.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/keys` no longer hangs 20–90+ seconds on a fresh install, even with valid auth ([#6570](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6570)) — `cloudEnabled` defaults to `true` in `src/lib/db/settings.ts::getSettings()` on any install with no persisted settings row (i.e. every fresh install), so the create-key handler's unconditional `await syncKeysToCloudIfEnabled()` always attempted a real outbound `fetch()` to `CLOUD_URL` via `syncToCloud()`; when that endpoint is unset/unreachable/slow, the HTTP response blocked until the request settled or timed out — unlike sibling routes (`POST /api/keys/:id/regenerate`, `GET /api/combos`), which never touch this side effect at all. `src/app/api/keys/route.ts` now dispatches `syncKeysToCloudIfEnabled()` fire-and-forget (`void`) instead of awaiting it; its internal try/catch already logs failures, so cloud sync still runs, it just no longer blocks the response. Regression guard: `tests/unit/api-keys-create-no-hang-6570.test.ts` (asserts the route resolves in well under 2s even when the Cloud-sync `fetch()` is stubbed to never settle) + updated `tests/integration/api-keys.test.ts` (the pre-existing "triggers cloud sync"/"still succeeds when cloud sync fails" tests, which previously hung indefinitely on this exact path, now await the fire-and-forget sync tick before asserting).
+- **fix(api):** editing any existing OpenAI Codex provider connection in the dashboard returned "Invalid request" and the edit could never be saved ([#6562](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6562)) — `createProviderConnection()` (`src/lib/db/providers.ts`) auto-increments a new connection's `priority` to `MAX(priority)+1` per provider with no upper bound, and OAuth-imported connections (Codex `codex-auth/import` / `import-bulk`, up to 50 accounts per call, callable repeatedly — the standard Codex bulk-account-rotation workflow) never pass through `createProviderSchema`'s Zod validation at all, so nothing ever capped that value; `EditConnectionModal`'s `handleSubmit` always resends the connection's current `priority` unchanged on every save, and `updateProviderConnectionSchema` capped `priority`/`globalPriority` at `max(100)` — a UI-only ceiling the create path never enforced — so the first edit of any connection whose priority had already grown past 100 (routine once a Codex account count exceeds 100) failed validation regardless of which field the user actually changed. Raised the ceiling to `max(100_000)` on both fields — still bounded (a genuinely out-of-range value is still rejected), just wide enough to accept priorities the app itself already produces. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-connection-edit-6562.test.ts` (a Codex OAuth connection whose priority already exceeds the old 100 cap now validates + persists on edit; a control payload with a still-genuinely-invalid priority is still rejected with "Invalid request").
+- **mimocode**: rotate accounts on MiMoCode's rate-limit-style 400s (body-classified) instead of failing on the first account; malformed 400s still fail fast with the real upstream error (#6648 — thanks @pizzav-xyz)
+- **fix(cli):** compression CLI REST fallback now reads/writes the canonical `defaultMode` field (surfaced as `strategy`) instead of a nonexistent `engine` key, and table output renders nested objects as JSON instead of `[object Object]` (#6571 — thanks @charleszolot)
+- **fix(providers):** web-cookie providers without a `providerRegistry.ts` entry (`lmarena`, `gemini-business`, `poe-web`, `venice-web`, `v0-vercel-web`) now report `unsupported: true` instead of silently "OK" ([#6309](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6309)) — `validateWebCookieProvider()` (`src/lib/providers/validation.ts`) previously required a registry entry and returned "Provider not found in registry" for these; a fallback to `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS[provider].website` was proposed, but live verification showed the `${website}/models` probe does not reliably signal session validity for these providers (redirects/SPA 200s regardless of cookie validity — e.g. lmarena's real API is `arena.ai`, not `lmarena.ai`; Poe's real endpoint is a GraphQL POST, not a REST `/models`), so it would report an expired or garbage cookie as valid. Until each provider has a verified, side-effect-free auth probe against its real API host, the fallback now returns `unsupported` (no network call) instead of a false positive. Regression guard: `tests/unit/web-cookie-validation-fallback.test.ts`. (thanks @oyi77)
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/middleware/hooks` and `PUT /api/middleware/hooks/[name]` no longer leak raw internal error messages in their 500 responses (#6645 — thanks @chirag127) — both catch blocks returned `error?.message` directly (Hard Rule #12), which could surface internal SQLite path fragments on a DB failure; both now route through `sanitizeErrorMessage()` from `open-sse/utils/error.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/middleware-hooks-error-sanitization.test.ts`.
+- **fix(docker):** compile better-sqlite3 for the server Docker image (Dokploy/self-hosted builds) via a direct `node-gyp rebuild` inside `node_modules/better-sqlite3`, instead of `npm rebuild better-sqlite3` ([#6700](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6700)) — the `builder` stage installs dependencies with `npm ci --ignore-scripts` (deliberate: closes the supply-chain surface where a transitive dep's install script runs arbitrary code) and re-enables the native build for the one package that needs it; `npm rebuild <pkg>` re-runs that indirectly through the package's own install script, which under npm 11 depends on npm's script-allowlist machinery correctly re-enabling it — some self-hosted build environments (e.g. Dokploy) hit a broken/mismatched native binding through that indirection. Invoking `node-gyp rebuild` directly bypasses npm's script-running layer entirely and is deterministic regardless of npm version. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dockerfile-better-sqlite3-node-gyp-6700.test.ts`. (thanks @nowhats-br)
+- **fix(providers):** the Cloudflare relay Worker deploy fix in #6416/#6618 still failed uploads in practice — it changed the multipart Content-Type but kept the emitted worker source as an ES module (`export default { fetch(...) }`) with `main_module` metadata; Cloudflare's Workers upload API parses a plain `application/javascript` script part as Service Worker syntax regardless of the `main_module` metadata field, and `main_module` requires the script to actually be an ES module (top-level `export`), so the mismatch still rejected the upload ([#6496](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6496)). `buildCloudflareWorkerScript()` (`src/lib/proxyRelay/cloudflareWorkerScript.ts`) now emits Service Worker syntax (`addEventListener("fetch", ...)`, no top-level `export`) and the upload metadata uses `body_part` instead of `main_module`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/relay-deploy-5128.test.ts` (asserts the emitted script has no `export default`, registers a `fetch` listener, and the upload metadata carries `body_part`/omits `main_module`; also proves the inlined `isPrivateHostname()` SSRF guard still rejects bracketed IPv6 loopback/ULA hosts like `[::1]`/`[fd00::1]` after the script-body rewrite). (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **fix(providers):** ChatGPT Web (`chatgpt-web`) responses rendered raw ChatGPT UI citation markup — private-use marker tokens (e.g. `citeturn0search0`) and `url…` inline-link markers — instead of real Markdown links, since these only ever get resolved client-side by chatgpt.com's own JS using `message.metadata.content_references` ([#6635](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6635)) — `cleanChatGptText()` now resolves `content_references` (grouped webpages, footnote sources, inline `webpage`/`url` mentions) into `[label](url)` Markdown links for both the streaming and non-streaming response builders, and for the GPT-5.5 Pro `stream_handoff` polled-answer path, falling back to stripping any marker that has no resolvable source instead of leaking the raw private-use bytes. The citation parsing/rendering logic was extracted into a new pure sibling module (`open-sse/executors/chatgpt-web/citations.ts`) to keep the executor under the frozen file-size cap. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chatgpt-web-citations.test.ts` (non-streaming citation resolution, streaming marker buffering across split SSE chunks, and the Pro-handoff polled-answer path). (thanks @Thinkscape)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the live-dashboard WebSocket descriptor handshake (`GET /api/v1/ws?handshake=1`) and the lightweight `GET /api/health/ping` liveness probe both 401'd for unauthenticated callers, even though both are metadata-only reads intended to be public ([#6335](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6335)) — `clientApiPolicy` required a bearer/dashboard-session before the WS route handler could even return its own `wsAuth`/protocol descriptor, and `/api/health/ping` was never added to `PUBLIC_READONLY_API_ROUTE_PREFIXES` despite its own docstring documenting it as "No auth required." `clientApiPolicy.evaluate()` now allows an anonymous `{kind:"anonymous", id:"ws-handshake"}` subject for GET/HEAD/OPTIONS on `/api/v1/ws?handshake=1` (the route handler still performs its own real wsAuth/dashboard/API-key decision before opening the socket), and `/api/health/ping` is now in `PUBLIC_READONLY_API_ROUTE_PREFIXES`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/authz/client-api-policy.test.ts` (WS handshake allowed, including relative request URLs), `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`, and `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts` (`/api/health/ping` classified `PUBLIC`). (thanks @JxnLexn)
+- fix(providers): wire the Devin cloud-agent provider into the generic provider-page validator and static model catalog, matching the existing `jules` cloud-agent pattern (#6142)
+- fix(providers): honor a provider-level proxy assigned to no-auth providers like MiMoCode Free (#6272)
+- fix(api): merge tool_call continuation deltas that carry only `id` (no `index`) so tool-call arguments are no longer split/lost in request/response logs (#6276)
+- **fix(providers):** modernize the `lmarena` provider for the Arena.ai rebrand — route chat through `arena.ai` create-evaluation with Chrome TLS impersonation, seed a static Direct-chat Text/Search + Image catalog, and keep the `lmarena`/`lma` wire id for back-compat ([#6280](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6280)) — thanks @backryun
+- **fix(providers):** web-provider model discovery updated — qwen-web uses the slash-terminated models endpoint (avoiding a blocked 307 redirect), and kimi-web matches the current request shape (POST with bearer + `kimi-auth` cookie replay) with its catalog refreshed to the current non-agent models (#6308 — thanks @janeza2).
+- **fix(logs):** the request-log detail modal no longer reopens by itself after being closed — a stale in-flight detail refresh resolved after close and re-triggered the modal open state (#6323 — thanks @xz-dev).
+- **fix(providers):** update SenseNova Token Plan support — register the token-plan model ids/constants and adjust the SenseNova registry so token-plan accounts route correctly (#6330 — thanks @xz-dev).
+- fix(providers): give v0-vercel-web its own alias so its credentials are detected (#6343)
+- fix(providers): route AgentRouter key validation through the CC wire image so a valid key no longer 403s as "Invalid API key" (#6377)
+- fix(db): stop legacy log-archive migration from deleting the live app-logger directory and crashing startup on a stat/stream race (#6401, #6799)
+- fix(docs): document Turbopack build memory tradeoff and `OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=0` webpack fallback for RAM-constrained machines (#6409)
+- fix(compression): surface silently-dropped stacked-pipeline steps (session-dedup, ccr) and stop the aggregate inflation guard from misfiring on a genuine no-op (#6479, #6480, #6491)
+- fix(providers): honor the `max_token` capability override in the reasoning-token-buffer output cap (#6524)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the onboarding tier-flow diagram rendered broken — its SVGs lived in the repo-root `images/` (not a served path); moved to `public/images/` so Next.js serves them (#6538 — thanks @ianriizky).
+- **fix(routing):** the `auto` combo's no-auth candidate pool now honors a disabled provider connection's own `isActive=false` (the toggle on the main Providers grid card), not just the separate global `blockedProviders` setting — disabling opencode/mimocode/etc. via the grid toggle no longer leaves it in rotation ([#6557](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6557)).
+- **fix(sse):** server-tool literal names (e.g. `web_search`) are preserved in message history and `tool_choice` instead of being namespaced/rewritten, so follow-up turns referencing those tools keep working (#6586 — thanks @MikeTuev).
+- fix(api): recognize OpenRouter reasoning/reasoning_details in non-streaming OpenAI-to-Claude conversion (#6623)
+- fix(db): share one in-flight sql.js load across concurrent `preInitSqlJs()` callers to stop the boot-time thundering-herd re-decode of the whole database file (#6628)
+- fix(db): unwrap lone named-parameter objects before `sql.js` `stmt.bind()` so `@`/`:`/`$`-style named placeholders bind correctly instead of throwing "Wrong API use" (#6802)
+- **fix(db): break probe-failed/restore loop on large storage.sqlite** (#6632 — thanks @KooshaPari).
+- fix(ci): exclude check-test-masking.test.ts's own tautology fixtures from the diff-based test-masking gate and recognize `✗` in validate-release-green's failure-line detector (#6634)
+- fix(routing): recognize Kimi-style "exceeded model token limit" 400 as context overflow so combo fallback continues to the next target (#6637)
+- **fix(cli):** Claude Code installed via WinGet is now detected on Windows (the WinGet install path was missing from the binary lookup) (#6647 — thanks @enjoyer-hub).
+- **fix(providers):** removed obsolete/defunct providers from the catalog (glhf, kluster, cablyai, inclusionai) (#6675 — thanks @backryun).
+- **fix(sse):** requests rejected before `handleChatCore` (circuit-breaker/cooldown gate or combo with all targets exhausted) are now recorded in `usage_history` too, so a key whose traffic was entirely gate-rejected no longer shows "zero requests" in the per-API-key usage counter (#6698).
+- **fix(sse):** unwrap bare `{function:{…}}` tools so OpenAI-shape clients no longer have tools silently dropped in Claude translation. (thanks @samir-abis)
+- **fix(oauth):** stop merging distinct Codex OAuth logins that share an email but lack a verifiable account id, preventing silent token overwrite. (thanks @lucasjustinudin)
+- **fix(codex):** detect "model at capacity"/overloaded errors embedded in a 200-OK SSE stream and surface them as a real error so account fallback rotates, instead of passing them through as a successful response. (thanks @ryanngit)
+- **fix(volcengine):** clamp `max_tokens` to the VolcEngine Ark endpoint cap for the Kimi model so oversized values no longer 400. (thanks @whale9820)
+- **fix(antigravity):** surface aborted/malformed Gemini tool calls (e.g. `MALFORMED_FUNCTION_CALL`) as an explicit non-`end_turn` finish reason instead of a silent clean completion. (thanks @anhdiepmmk)
+- **fix(routing):** the reasoning-token headroom buffer clamps to the model's explicit output cap instead of inflating past it, and `getExplicitModelOutputCap` falls through to the registry/spec cap when a synced capability row exists without a numeric `limit_output` ([#6714](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6714)) — thanks @xz-dev
+- **fix(api):** `omniroute health` (and `health components`/`health watch`) returned `Error: HTTP 404` ([#6677](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6677)) — `bin/cli/commands/health.mjs` called `apiFetch("/api/health", ...)`, a route that was moved to `GET /api/monitoring/health` (`src/app/api/monitoring/health/route.ts`) without updating the CLI; `src/app/api/health/` on disk only has `degradation/route.ts` and `ping/route.ts`, no top-level handler. `runHealthCommand()`/`runHealthComponentsCommand()` now call `/api/monitoring/health` and read its actual payload shape (`activeConnections`, `circuitBreakers: {open, halfOpen, closed}`, `memoryUsage`) instead of the old, nonexistent `requests`/`breakers`/`cache`/`memory` fields. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli-health-monitoring-route.test.ts`.
+- **fix(startup):** webpack build broke on case-insensitive filesystems (macOS APFS default, Windows) with a casing-collision warning plus "not exported" errors in `StudioConfigPane.tsx`/`ChatTab.tsx` (#6584) — `src/app/(dashboard)/dashboard/playground/components/ReasoningControls.tsx` (the component) and `reasoningControls.ts` (the utils module) shared the same lower-cased stem in the same directory, and two importers used the extensionless form `from "./reasoningControls"`, the exact resolution path that becomes ambiguous once casing is folded. Renamed the utils module to `reasoningControlUtils.ts` (no collision) and updated the 3 import sites. Regression guard: `tests/unit/case-collision-6584.test.ts` (scans `src/`/`open-sse/` for any same-directory, case-only filename collision). (#6584)
+- **fix(build):** Turbopack production build emitted an "Overly broad patterns can lead to build performance issues" warning per entry point importing `src/lib/agentSkills/generator.ts` (603 warnings reported on v3.8.46, up from 379 on v3.8.45) ([#6582](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6582)) — `generator.ts`'s `outputBase` is built as `path.isAbsolute(outputDir) ? outputDir : path.join(process.cwd(), outputDir)`, where `outputDir` is a runtime function parameter, not a compile-time literal, so Turbopack's build-time file-tracing analyzer can't statically narrow the several dynamic `readdirSync`/`rmSync`/`readFileSync`/`writeFileSync` call sites a few lines below and falls back to a project-wide glob; #6366's commit message claimed to "anchor the base path with a literal" but the shipped code never did. Since this fs access is legitimate and bounded (`skills/<id>/SKILL.md`, ~48 known IDs), `next.config.mjs`'s `turbopack.ignoreIssue` (Next.js 16.2+) now suppresses this specific, known-benign diagnostic, mirroring the existing `webpack.ignoreWarnings`/`isNextIntlExtractorDynamicImportWarning` precedent already in the same file for the webpack path. Regression guard: `tests/unit/next-config.test.ts` (asserts the `turbopack.ignoreIssue` rule shape targeting `src/lib/agentSkills/**`).
+- **fix(providers):** Codex Desktop requests to `gpt-5.3-codex-spark` failed with `[400]: Tool 'image_generation' is not supported with gpt-5.3-codex-spark`, even on paid-plan accounts ([#6651](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6651)) — `CodexExecutor.transformRequest` (`open-sse/executors/codex.ts`) only dropped the Codex Desktop-injected `image_generation` hosted tool when `isCodexFreePlan()` matched the account's plan, with no awareness that Spark-scope Codex models reject `image_generation` upstream regardless of plan. `dropImageGeneration` now also drops it when `getCodexModelScope(model) === "spark"` (the existing Spark classifier from `open-sse/config/codexQuotaScopes.ts`), independent of account plan. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-spark-image-generation.test.ts` (thanks @alltomatos for independently catching and fixing it via #6819).
+- **fix(providers):** the provider quota card's weekly/session bars re-sorted by remaining percentage instead of staying in a fixed, deterministic order ([#6687](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6687)) — `QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`'s `sortQuotasByRemaining()` (added in #5977) was applied unconditionally via `useMemo(() => sortQuotasByRemaining(quotas), [quotas])`, undoing the deterministic `CODEX_QUOTA_ORDER`/`GLM_QUOTA_ORDER` window order `quotaParsing.ts`'s `sortCodexOrder()`/`sortGlmOrder()` (added in #6336) already established for Codex and the GLM family — since #6336 never touched `QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`, the two orderings never composed, so e.g. a Codex `session` window with less headroom than `weekly` rendered after it instead of staying first. A new `hasFixedQuotaOrder()` (`quotaParsing.ts`) and `resolveQuotaDisplayOrder()` (`QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`) now skip the remaining-% re-sort for providers with a fixed window order, threading `providerId` from `QuotaCard.tsx` through to the display layer; every other provider still gets the remaining-% sort. Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-card-expanded-fixed-order-6687.test.ts`.
+- **fix(i18n):** pt-BR was missing 194 UI keys present in `en.json` — a real, silent data-sync gap, not covered by any duplicate/mislabeled #6694 (that issue's 9 `providers.*` keys are disjoint, present-but-untranslated sentinels caused by a separate `providerText()` fallback bug) ([#6695](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6695)) — `scripts/i18n/sync-ui-keys.mjs` (which mirrors newly-added `en.json` keys into every locale) wasn't re-run after recent `en.json` additions, and the CI `i18n:check-ui-coverage` gate only fails a locale below an 80% threshold, so pt-BR stayed green at 93.8% coverage despite the gap. Backfilled all 194 missing keys into `src/i18n/messages/pt-BR.json` (translated to Brazilian Portuguese, no leftover `__MISSING__` markers) via `npm run i18n:sync-ui -- --locale=pt-BR` + manual translation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-pt-br.test.ts` (new case asserting full `en.json`→`pt-BR.json` key parity, so a future drift fails a fast unit test instead of silently degrading the coverage percentage).
+- **fix(startup):** `omniroute --mcp` crashed at Node ESM link time with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND` for `ioredis` on installs where the published MCP bundle didn't happen to have `ioredis` rescued from a parent `node_modules` ([#6559](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6559)) — `src/shared/utils/rateLimiter.ts` had a top-level static `import Redis from "ioredis"`; that module is only ever reached via a lazy `await import(...)` several call-sites deep in the MCP tool chain, but esbuild's `--packages=external` bundling of the MCP server (`scripts/build/prepublish.ts` Step 8.5) still hoisted rateLimiter.ts's own static import into a real top-level ESM import in the compiled `dist/open-sse/mcp-server/server.js`, forcing Node to resolve `ioredis` at module-link time — before any `--mcp` startup code runs — and `ioredis` is not guaranteed to ship in the MCP-only bundle's `node_modules`. `getRedisClient()` now lazily imports `ioredis` on first use (matching the established soft-dependency pattern in `src/lib/quota/redisQuotaStore.ts`) while still throwing synchronously when Redis isn't configured. Regression guard: `tests/unit/build/mcp-bundle-no-eager-ioredis.test.ts` (bundles the real MCP server entrypoint with the exact publish-time esbuild flags and asserts no top-level static `ioredis` import remains, while the pre-existing lazy `await import("ioredis")` in `redisQuotaStore.ts` stays intact).
+- **fix(providers):** Kiro sent the adaptive-thinking `additionalModelRequestFields` envelope for `claude-sonnet-4.5`/`claude-haiku-4.5`, which Kiro/CodeWhisperer rejects upstream with a raw `[400]: additionalModelRequestFields is not supported for this model` ([#6576](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6576)) — `buildKiroPayload()` (`open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-kiro.ts`) gated the field on the generic Anthropic-API `supportsReasoning()` capability flag, which is `true` for both models on Anthropic's direct API but does not reflect what Kiro's CodeWhisperer backend actually accepts; only `claude-sonnet-5` is confirmed adaptive-thinking-capable there. A new Kiro-specific allowlist (`supportsKiroAdaptiveThinking()` in `open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-kiro/adaptiveThinking.ts`) now gates the envelope instead. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6576-kiro-thinking-unsupported-model.test.ts`.
+- **fix(translator):** Cursor's local **Subagent** tool call is no longer rejected with `cloud_base_branch may only be specified when environment equals cloud` — the Responses→Chat tool-arg cleanup (`stripEmptyOptionalToolArgs`) was scoped to Claude Code's `Read` tool only, so Cursor's `Subagent` tool passed through with the cloud-only `cloud_base_branch: ""` (Cursor treats an empty string as "specified" and rejects the call before starting the local subagent). The cleanup now covers an allowlist of `Read` + `Subagent`; arbitrary tools are still left untouched (empty strings/arrays can be valid payloads for them). Regression guard: `tests/unit/openai-responses-subagent-strip-2446.test.ts`. (thanks @like3213934360-lab)
+- **fix(translator):** GLM 5.2 (and other OpenAI-compatible upstreams that stream a tool call's `id` and `function.name` in **separate** SSE chunks) no longer produce an empty tool name / `No such tool available:` error through the Claude `/messages` path — the `openai-to-claude` streaming translator emitted `content_block_start` immediately on the id-only chunk with an empty `name`, and the Claude SSE protocol cannot patch a block after it is emitted, so the later name-only chunk was silently dropped. It now **defers** `content_block_start` until the tool name arrives (falling back to starting the block when arguments arrive first), so the emitted `tool_use` always carries the real name. Regression guard: `tests/unit/openai-to-claude-glm-split-tool-name-2077.test.ts`. (thanks @itiwant)
+- **fix(resilience):** OmniRoute didn't respect an exhausted Ollama Cloud (or any other apikey-category provider) quota — it retried the account seconds later instead of waiting out the real reset window ([#6638](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6638)) — `shouldPreserveQuotaSignalsFor429()`/`checkFallbackError()` (`open-sse/services/accountFallback.ts`) only applied body-text quota classification (daily/monthly/weekly quota-exhausted detection) to OAuth-category providers; apikey-category 429s (Ollama Cloud, OpenAI, etc.) always fell through to the generic short rate-limit cooldown regardless of what the error body said, and `parseRetryFromErrorText()` also had no support for day-granularity reset hints ("Your quota will reset in 3 days.") — only Xh/Ym/Zs combos. An explicit quota-exhausted signal in the body (`looksLikeQuotaExhausted()`) now overrides the apikey-category default via the new `shouldPreserveQuotaSignals()` (`open-sse/services/quotaResetParsing.ts`), and `parseDayGranularityResetMs()` parses whole-day reset countdowns so the real multi-day window is honored instead of a few seconds of backoff. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6638-ollama-quota.test.ts` + 2 aligned `tests/unit/account-fallback-service.test.ts` cases that previously asserted the buggy rate_limit_exceeded/undefined-dailyQuotaExhausted behavior for apikey-provider quota text.
+- **fix(resilience):** a combo step "pinned" to one fingerprint account (mimocode/mcode/opencode multi-account providers) never actually resolved to that account, so it couldn't fail over when the pinned account was depleted ([#6696](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6696), relates #6612) — the combo builder UI encodes an account pin as a composite connectionId (`${rowId}|fp|${fingerprint}`, `src/lib/combos/builderOptions.ts`), but `expandTargetsByFingerprints()` (`open-sse/services/combo/fingerprintExpansion.ts`) looked that composite string up directly in `connectionById` (keyed by real DB row ids), got `undefined`, and passed the target through unchanged, still carrying the bogus composite id — so downstream credential resolution could never match it either. `expandTargetsByFingerprints()` now splits the `|fp|` composite id back into the real connection row id + the pinned fingerprint (new `splitFingerprintPin()` helper) before any lookup, resolving the target to the real connectionId (with the pinned fingerprint carried on the new `pinnedFingerprint` field) instead of the inert composite string. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-fingerprint-pin-6696.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** Responses passthrough emitted event-only SSE frames (no `data:` line) for every dropped commentary event, breaking the OpenAI Python SDK's `sse.json()` parser ([#6561](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6561)), follow-up to #6199/#6232 — the commentary-drop `continue;` branches in `open-sse/utils/stream.ts` skipped the `data:` line for a dropped commentary event but never cleared the already-buffered `event:` line for that same frame, so the next blank line flushed the stale `event:` line alone. Both drop sites now call `clearPendingPassthroughEvent()` before `continue`, discarding the buffered prefix along with the dropped payload; the commentary-drop decision itself was extracted into a new `open-sse/utils/responsesCommentaryDrop.ts` so the fix does not grow the frozen `stream.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/responses-commentary-event-frame-6561.test.ts` (realistic `event:\ndata:\n\n` frames — the existing #6199 test only used bare `data:` lines and never exercised this path).
+- **fix(compression):** `/api/compression/preview`'s top-level `originalTokens`/`compressedTokens` diverged from `engineBreakdown[0]`'s counts for the same single-engine run (tiktoken outer counts vs the `JSON.stringify(...).length/4` estimate per engine), worst on small inputs. A new `reconcileSingleEngineTokens()` overwrites the single-engine breakdown entry with the outer, more accurate figures; multi-step pipeline breakdowns are left untouched ([#6488](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6488)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression/preview-outer-engine-token-reconcile-6488.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** account selection could pick an account already out of quota upstream on every credentialed route except `chat`/`codex` ([#6686](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6686)) — `getProviderCredentials()` (`src/sse/services/auth.ts`) only skips a connection when a *local cache* already flags it exhausted (`isQuotaExhaustedForRequest`/`src/domain/quotaCache.ts`); it never itself calls the registered upstream `QuotaFetcher`. Only `getProviderCredentialsWithQuotaPreflight()` performs that live upstream check, and it was wired into exactly 2 call sites (`src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, `src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts`) — every other credentialed route (`rerank`, `images/generations`, `images/edits`, `audio/transcriptions|speech|translations`, `videos/generations`, `music/generations`, `ocr`, `providers/[provider]/embeddings`, `providers/[provider]/images/generations`, `web/fetch`, `moderations`, `search`) called the plain, cache-only selector, so an account whose cache entry was never populated (e.g. its first request landed on one of these routes) could be selected even at 0% quota remaining. Those 14 call sites now go through `getProviderCredentialsWithQuotaPreflight()` instead, matching chat/codex coverage. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6686-quota-preflight-coverage.test.ts` (static check that none of the routes call the plain selector anymore + a behavioral check that the preflight-aware selector blocks a 100%-used account).
+- **fix(api):** `reasoning_content` (extended-thinking text) was silently dropped from `/v1/chat/completions` SSE on the `claude-web` and `v0-vercel-web` executors ([#6662](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6662)) — every chunk builder in both adapters hardcoded `delta: { content: ... }` with no reasoning path, unlike the established pattern already used by `default.ts`/`deepseek-web.ts`/`bedrock.ts` and the real-Anthropic-API `claude-to-openai.ts` translator (`thinking_delta` → `reasoning_content`). `v0-vercel-web.ts` now forwards an upstream `delta.reasoning_content` field (streaming and non-streaming) the same way `deepseek-web.ts` does. `claude-web.ts`'s `buildClaudeStreamingResponse` now maps a `content_block_start`(`type: "thinking"`)/`content_block_delta`(`delta.thinking`) pair onto `delta.reasoning_content`, and `claude-web/payload.ts`'s `transformToClaude()` no longer hardcodes `thinking_mode: "off"` — a new `wantsExtendedThinking()` derives it from the request's `reasoning_effort`/`reasoning.effort`/`thinking.type` signal, so extended thinking can actually be requested. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6662-repro.test.ts` (RED→GREEN for both adapters).
+- **fix(api):** the compression config PUT schema now accepts `enableRenderers` for the RTK engine instead of rejecting the documented option (#6703, #6757 — thanks @alltomatos, with an independent duplicate fix from @chirag127 via #6756).
+- **fix(api):** raised the provider `apiKey` length cap for cookie-based web providers, whose session-cookie credentials legitimately exceed the previous limit (#6715, #6759 — thanks @alltomatos).
+- fix(ci): publish electron-updater `latest*.yml` manifests in electron release assets so auto-update can find them ([#6766](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6766))
+- **fix(i18n): translate hardcoded Portuguese dashboard strings to English (#6761, #6768)** (#6769 — thanks @chirag127).
+- fix(providers): strip redundant node prefix when resolving custom OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible connections by raw connection id, preventing double-namespaced model ids from 400ing upstream (#6772)
+- fix(providers): scope nvidia NIM 404s to the single failing model instead of cooling down the whole connection (#6773)
+- **fix(codex):** bump the default Codex CLI client identity from `0.142.0` to `0.144.0` for compatibility with newer Codex-backed models ([#6780](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6780)) — thanks @quanturbo
+- **fix(ci):** the blocking "Impacted unit tests (TIA)" step false-redded any PR whose impact graph reached a dashboard component — it ran every selected test under `--import tsx/esm`, but `tests/unit/dashboard/**` requires the `--import tsx` CJS transform (ESM-only deep imports like `@lobehub/icons/es/*`), exactly as the canonical `test:unit:ci:shard` already does per segment. The impacted selection is now split by segment with matching loaders (closes #6787).
+- **fix(translator):** read PDF/video `file_data` attachments on the OpenAI→Gemini/Antigravity and OpenAI→Claude paths so multimodal documents (not just images) reach the upstream — PDFs map to `document`/`inlineData` and videos keep their `video/mp4` mime instead of being dropped (#6790 — thanks @Witroch4, with an independent report/fix from @samimozcan via #6762/#6753).
+- **fix(providers): ensure DeepSeek Web SSE emits [DONE] after FINISHED** (#6791 — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch).
+- **fix(api):** the compression config `PUT` schema (`stackedPipelineStepSchema`) now accepts every `ENGINE_CATALOG` id — the structural engines `session-dedup`/`ccr`/`headroom`/`relevance`/`llmlingua`/`omniglyph` and the `aggressive` `ultra` intensity — so a `GET`→`PUT` round-trip of a stacked pipeline no longer 400s on a valid engine the discriminated union had omitted (#6747 — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch).
+- **fix(cursor):** send the Agent CLI build id as `x-cursor-client-version` so Cursor upstream accepts requests from the current CLI build instead of a stale hardcoded version (#6795 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- fix(cli): waitForServer() no longer reports ready from a raw TCP accept alone — requires a fast HTTP rejection or a real health response, so the "OmniRoute is running!" banner no longer fires 30-60s before the server can actually answer requests (#6800)
+- fix(sse): de-flake timing-sensitive combo cooldown/breaker tests + add explicit MCP audit shutdown timeout (#6803)
+- **fix(codex): strip include from compact responses requests** (#6805 — thanks @yinaoxiong).
+- fix(dashboard): surface Claude extraUsage credits in quota card when quotas is empty (#6806)
+- **Request count by provider & date**: Dashboard → Analytics now shows a dedicated table of request counts grouped by provider and calendar date (plus token totals), for providers that bill per-request rather than per-token — sortable columns and a single-date filter. New `getProviderDailyUsageRows()` query (`src/lib/db/usageAnalytics.ts`) and its own `GET /api/usage/requests-by-provider-date` route (kept separate from the frozen `/api/usage/analytics` route). Regression guard: `tests/unit/db-provider-daily-usage-4009.test.ts`. (#4009 — thanks @tjengbudi)
+- **fix(resilience):** an Ollama Cloud (or any apikey-category provider) account that hit a weekly usage cap kept getting retried every few minutes instead of backing off ([#3709](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3709)) — the upstream 429 body ("you (\<account\>) have reached your weekly usage limit") was invisible to `checkFallbackError`'s existing subscription-quota-text classifier (Issue #2321) because that branch is gated by `shouldUseQuotaSignal`, which is oauth-only, so apikey providers like `ollama-cloud` fell through to the generic exponential backoff (~1s, capped at 2min) — one account took 285x429 in 48h. A new `isWeeklyUsageLimitText`/`buildWeeklyQuotaFallback` classifier (extracted, with the existing subscription-quota logic, into a new `open-sse/services/quotaTextCooldowns.ts` module so the frozen `accountFallback.ts` didn't have to grow) runs unconditionally and applies a 24h `QUOTA_EXHAUSTED` cooldown regardless of provider category. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ollama-cloud-weekly-quota-cooldown-3709.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** an explicit `thinking.budget_tokens: 0` is now honored in the OpenAI→Gemini transform (thinking disabled) instead of being treated as unset (#6813, #6821 — thanks @alltomatos).
+- **fix(bootstrap):** filter empty `process.env` values before spawning embedded services so a blank env var no longer crashes the Docker bootstrap in a restart loop (#6828 — thanks @AndrianBalanescu).
+- **fix(providers):** classify upstream `404` responses as `MODEL_NOT_FOUND` (model lockout) instead of a retryable provider error, stopping the retry storm when a single model is missing (#6829 — thanks @AndrianBalanescu).
+- fix(mcp): de-duplicate `TOTAL_MCP_TOOL_COUNT` by tool name instead of double-counting collections (#6854)
+- **fix(usage):** xAI's exact provider-reported `cost_in_usd_ticks` no longer silently accepts `null`/`""`/negative values as a valid `$0` exact cost — `extractUsageFromResponse()` (`open-sse/handlers/usageExtractor.ts`) and `normalizeUsage()` (`open-sse/utils/usageTracking.ts`) now require `typeof value === "number" && Number.isFinite(value) && value >= 0` instead of coercing with `Number(x)`, so a malformed exact cost correctly falls back to the token-based estimate instead of masking it with a bogus `$0`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/xai-exact-cost-2453.test.ts` (rejects null/empty/negative exact costs on both call sites). ([#6856](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6856) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(plugin):** the `@omniroute/opencode-plugin` dynamic provider hook stopped embedding its OC-1.17.8+-gate-compatible `opencode-`-prefixed provider id into model routing fields (`ModelV2.id`/`providerID`, combo catalog keys) — OmniRoute's server has no `opencode-<x>` provider alias, so every dispatched model failed credential lookup with "No credentials for opencode-omniroute" (#6859).
+- fix(sse): apply cliproxyapiModelMapping at CLIProxyAPI dispatch time (#6876)
+- fix(sse): defer `response.completed` until a trailing usage-only chunk arrives on `/v1/responses` streams (#6906)
+- **fix(cli):** ship `head-response-guard.cjs` into the standalone bundle — `server-ws.mjs` imported it without a matching `EXTRA_MODULE_ENTRIES` entry, so every `build:release` dist crashed at boot with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND`; a new regression test derives the required sidecars from `server-ws.mjs` imports (#6908)
+- fix(sse): wire the shared quota-fetch throttle into DeepSeek, Bailian, OpenCode, and Crof quota fetchers, not just Codex (#6911)
+- fix(sse): rename client-sent `max_completion_tokens` to `max_tokens` for providers/models that only accept the legacy field (e.g. Volcengine Ark / DeepSeek), mirroring the existing reverse rename from #1961 (#6912)
+- fix(sse): set includeServerSideToolInvocations on Antigravity tool cloak decoys (#6914)
+- fix(sse): classify LAN embeddings providers (10/8, 192.168/16, CGNAT) as no-auth instead of forcing bearer auth (#6925)
+- fix(sse): Qwen Web executor no longer sends `[object Object]` when a message uses structured (array) content — the text parts are now flattened (#6927)
+- perf(api): relay chat-completions routes now thread the already-fetched `RelayToken` into `checkRateLimit`, skipping a redundant `SELECT * FROM relay_tokens WHERE id = ?` re-query on every request (#6930)
+- fix(sse): `normalizeCodexMessageContentPart` now rewrites explicit `type: "input_text"` (not just `type: "text"`) to `output_text` on assistant-role Codex Responses input parts, so replayed assistant history sent by codex-cli as `input_text` is no longer rejected by the Codex/OpenAI backend (#6932)
+- fix(sse): omit removed `attachments` field from Muse Spark Web (Meta AI) persisted GraphQL query to fix `Unknown type "AttachmentInput"` 502s (#6935)
+- fix(dashboard): label audio/embeddings/image compatible providers by kind instead of "Chat" on ProviderCard (#6936)
+- fix(api): model-list discovery for LAN-local OpenAI-compatible providers (e.g. LM Studio) now uses the same local-first SSRF guard as the connection test, instead of the stricter guard that always blocked LAN hosts (#6939)
+- fix(providers): `openai->gemini` transform now maps `reasoning_effort: "none"` to `thinkingConfig.thinkingBudget: 0` (with `includeThoughts: false`), giving callers an explicit, documented off-switch for Gemini thinking; the no-knob-at-all default injection (#4170) is unchanged (#6813, thanks @rafaumeu)
+- **fix(sse):** escape backslash before brackets in ChatGPT-web citation link text, preventing a citation label containing `\` from corrupting the generated Markdown link ([#6944](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6944)) — thanks @brick30llc-ctrl
+- fix(oauth): tokenHealthCheck now lowercase-normalizes `conn.provider` before checking `ROTATING_REFRESH_PROVIDERS.has()` and the GitHub Copilot sub-token refresh guard, so mixed-case provider values (e.g. "OpenAI", "Github") no longer bypass the rotating-refresh-token skip or the Copilot sub-token refresh (#6947)
+- fix(sse): make Codex Responses tool-arg normalization schema-aware — drop values equal to the tool's declared JSON Schema `default`, generalize empty-optional stripping to any tool (not just `Read`/`Subagent`) via `schema.required`, and thread each tool's schema from the request's `tools[]` into the streaming response translator (#6951)
+- fix(sse): drop internal commentary-phase Responses output in TRANSLATE-mode streams, not just PASSTHROUGH — codex/Responses-upstream routes translated into another client format (e.g. Claude Code) no longer leak duplicate prose and narrated tool-call arguments into the client text channel (#6952)
+- **fix(combos):** embeddings-only and rerank-only models (e.g. JinaAI, Gemini auto-imported, OpenRouter custom, reranker models) no longer disappear from the combo builder's model picker — the leftover chat-only `isChatCapable` gate in `addModelOption()` has been removed (#6975).
+- **fix(combos):** when 2+ distinct model ids from the same provider would render an identical display name in the combo builder picker (e.g. Mistral's `codestral-latest`/`codestral-2508` aliases sharing one upstream catalog name), each colliding entry now falls back to its own id as the display label so every row stays visually distinguishable and findable (#6957).
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **chore(release-captain):** v3.8.47 pre-flight closed every deterministic release-tip base-red ([#6967](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6967)): restored the `no-explicit-any` severity silently downgraded by #6786 (439 bulk suppressions had stopped matching), made the openadapter live-catalog test deterministic (`test.after()` was tearing the DB down mid-request), aligned the emergency-fallback and Cloud Code Gemini tests with the #6912/#6943 contracts, backfilled the #6909 i18n keys (en + pt-BR), re-exported `relayProbeStats` (db-rules), documented `OMNI_MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS`, and allowlisted migration gap 121. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **chore(security):** unbiased crypto digits for the doubao synthetic device id (CodeQL `js/biased-cryptographic-random`); 405 method-first for `/api/keys/{id}/devices` (dast-smoke); Zod-validation for `POST /api/github-skills`; the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry + catalog count alignment. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **chore(quality):** cycle-close ratchet work — cleared the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors and made `validate-release-green` suppressions-aware; cleared the 2 remaining heavy-gate reds on the release tip; cycle rebaselines (cognitive/file-size/zizmor/coverage pcts) with justification keys. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **chore(open-sse):** removed the vestigial `// @ts-nocheck` directive from `open-sse/utils/usageTracking.ts` ([#6173](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6173)) — `tsc` under the standard `typecheck:core` gate reports 0 errors for this 595-line hot-path file (executed for every provider response), so the suppression was no longer needed; removing it restores type-checking on the token-usage extraction/normalization path. (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **chore(cli):** the shell-completion cache paths (`readCache`/`refreshCache`/`writeCache`) in `bin/cli/commands/completion.mjs` no longer swallow errors into a bare `catch {}` ([#6257](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6257)) — each now binds the error and, when the new `OMNIROUTE_DEBUG_COMPLETION` env var is set, emits a `[omniroute completion]` diagnostic to `stderr`; the caches still fail silently by default so a missing/corrupt cache never breaks tab-completion. (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **chore(quality):** `validate-release-green --full-ci` reproduces the full `ci.yml` static gate set locally — the pre-flight now reads `ci.yml` itself and runs every `npm run check:*` from the `lint` / `quality-gate` / `quality-extended` / `docs-sync-strict` / `pr-test-policy` jobs (`--` ratchet flags preserved, `test-masking` against `GITHUB_BASE_REF=main`), skipping only the non-local `pr-evidence`/`codeql-ratchet`. Closes the gap where 11 static base-reds leaked to the v3.8.46 release PR in ~2h of layered CI. Also wired into `nightly-release-green` so a static base-red opens a tracking issue the night it lands. Regression guard: `tests/unit/validate-release-green.test.ts` (+5 `extractCiGates` cases).
+- **refactor(usage):** `saveRequestUsage(entry: any)` is now typed with a new `UsageEntry` interface mirroring the `usage_history` columns 1:1 (#3512) — the other stray `any`s in `src/lib/usage/usageHistory.ts` (`getUsageHistory` filter, the `getUsageDb` next-cursor cast, `appendRequestLog`'s legacy `tokens` param, `getRecentLogs`'s catch) were cleaned in the same pass, so the file now sits in the `check:any-budget:t11` zero-`any` allowlist. The DB-entity ↔ TS-interface convention is documented in `docs/architecture/CODEBASE_DOCUMENTATION.md` §11.
+- **Merge-train script** (`scripts/release/merge-train.sh`): batch-validates N queued PRs as ONE merged result on the runner box — merges every queued PR into a throwaway worktree cut from the release tip, runs the fast-gates parity suite once, and prints the `--admin` evidence block per PR (merge-gates §7). Replaces O(N²) per-PR CI re-runs in merge-storms. Regression guard: `tests/unit/merge-train-plan.test.ts`.
+- **release:** `list-uncovered-commits.mjs` now unions the CHANGELOG scan window with `changelog.d/` fragment refs (filename `<PR>-` prefix + every `#N` in the body), so a commit covered only by a fragment is no longer reported as an uncovered reconciliation gap ([#6857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6857) via [#6878](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6878))
+- chore(quality): restore no-explicit-any severity to error (silently downgraded by #6786, broke 439 bulk suppressions), fix 2 unsuppressed anys in repro-6912 test, allowlist migration gap 121, freeze-bump stream.ts/ProxyRegistryManager/tokenHealthCheck (combined-merge drift)
+- chore(base): pt-BR/en i18n keys for #6909 relay-repair/free-pool UI + align Cloud Code Gemini defaults test with the #6943 non-thinking-model contract
+- chore(base): re-export relayProbeStats from localDb (db-rules gate, #6909 follow-up) and document OMNI_MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS in .env.example/ENVIRONMENT.md (env-doc gate, #6590 follow-up)
+- **ci:** unit fast-path sharding doubled 2→4 (halves the heaviest job's wall time) (#6781); the 3 heaviest fast-path jobs can route to the self-hosted VPS runner pool behind `USE_VPS_RUNNER` (#6691); `VPS_ALWAYS_ON` keeps the dedicated 24/7 CI host up across releases (teardown becomes a no-op) (#6693).
+- **docs:** routing-strategy count reconciled to 18 across AUTO-COMBO.md, README and AGENTS.md, and `p2c` casing fixed to match `ROUTING_STRATEGY_VALUES` (#6643, #6644, #6646 — thanks @chirag127); CLAUDE.md updated with the renamed review/triage/implement skill-family names (#6663).
+- chore(release): v3.8.47 pre-flight — relocate #6943 orphan test to a collected path, restore no-explicit-any suppression match, testFrozen bump translator-openai-to-gemini (1541→1553), zizmor rebaseline 159→169
+- **docs(readme):** fix stale counts — 18 routing strategies (adds the missing `pipeline` row), 94 MCP tools, 12-factor Auto-Combo scoring.
+- **chore(ci):** fix two shared base-reds on the release tip that blocked the PR queue — register `cliproxyapi-model-mapping-dispatch.test.ts` in `stryker.conf.json` `tap.testFiles` (mutation-coverage gap left by #6903) and update `provider-models-route-codex.test.ts` to expect Codex client version `0.144.0` (stale assertion left by #6780's production bump).
+- **docs:** refresh `llm.txt` to the current project state (248 providers, 94 MCP tools / 30 scopes, 18 routing strategies, 12-factor Auto-Combo scoring, v3.8.47) and sync its 42 i18n mirrors; move the implemented design-system plan from the repo root to `docs/architecture/DESIGN_SYSTEM.md` rewritten as a reference doc.
+- **chore(security):** scrub hardcoded live-instance credentials (API key + auth cookie + host URL) from the `tests/boundary/*.live.test.ts` files landed via #6786 — they now read `OMNIROUTE_TEST_BASE` / `OMNIROUTE_TEST_BEARER` / `OMNIROUTE_TEST_COOKIE` from the environment and stay gated behind `RUN_BOUNDARY_LIVE=1`.

+## [3.8.46] — 2026-07-07
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(sse):** **hide paid-only models from `auto/*` routing** when `hidePaidModels` is on ([#6512](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6512)) — follow-up to #6328/#6495. PR #6495 hid paid-only models from the `GET /v1/models` listing, but `auto/*` combos (`auto/best-coding`, `auto/glm`, …) could still pick a paid-only backend into their candidate pool → a 402/403 at request time. `createVirtualAutoCombo` now filters the candidate pool through the new pure `open-sse/services/autoCombo/paidModelFilter.ts` (`filterPaidOnlyCandidates`), applying the same free-model predicate #6495 uses in `catalog.ts` (`providerHasFreeModels(provider) && isFreeModel(provider, {id})`) whenever `settings.hidePaidModels === true`. Applied before the category/tier/family narrowing, so it covers every `auto/*` combo; an all-paid pool degrades to the existing graceful empty-pool path. **Opt-in — default OFF leaves the pool unchanged** (identity). Regression guard: `tests/unit/autoCombo/paid-model-filter-6512.test.ts` (4, incl. the default-off identity guard).
+- **feat(sse):** **provider-family auto combos** — `auto/glm`, `auto/minimax`, `auto/mimo`, `auto/zai`, `auto/gemma`, `auto/llama`, `auto/gemini` ([#6453](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6453)) — new routable ids that materialize an on-demand virtual combo spanning whatever installed backends currently expose that model family, degrading gracefully as backends rotate. A new pure `open-sse/services/autoCombo/modelFamily.ts` (`detectModelFamily`) classifies by model-id prefix for six families; `zai` is instead resolved by provider id (z.ai's hosted API serves the same `glm-*` model ids as every other GLM backend, so `auto/zai` means "route to my z.ai backend specifically" vs `auto/glm`'s "any connected GLM backend"). Reuses the existing `createVirtualAutoCombo` on-demand materialization path (no DB writes) and the `/v1/models` catalog advertising loop. Regression guard: `tests/unit/autoCombo/provider-family-combos.test.ts` (11).
+- **feat(proxy):** native **proxy-pool round-robin / egress IP rotation** ([#6365](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6365)) — a scope (global / provider / account) can now hold **multiple** proxies as a pool with a rotation strategy, so outbound requests cycle their egress IP instead of pinning one proxy per scope. Migration `117_proxy_pool_rotation.sql` lifts the `UNIQUE(scope, scope_id)` constraint (rebuild via the canonical rename/copy/drop; existing single assignments become 1-element pools) and adds a `proxy_scope_rotation` companion table holding the per-scope strategy + a persisted monotonic round-robin cursor. Strategies: `round-robin` (default, monotonic cursor — never `Math.random`), `random`, and `sticky-per-N-min`. Resolution (`resolveProxyForScopeFromRegistry` / `resolveProxyForConnectionFromRegistry`) now fetches the alive, position-ordered candidate set (unchanged `PROXY_ALIVE_PREDICATE`) and applies the strategy; an empty / all-dead pool still returns `null` — the #6246 fail-closed guard is **untouched** (never falls through to direct egress). Backend + DB only; dashboard pool-builder UI is a follow-up. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-pool-rotation-6365.test.ts` (8, incl. fail-closed + backward-compat).
+- **feat(providers):** end-to-end **tool/function calling on the native Gemini `/v1beta` endpoint** ([#6222](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6222)) — both directions of the Gemini↔OpenAI conversion now preserve tool data (previously silently dropped). Request side: `convertGeminiToInternal` (extracted to its own testable module) maps `tools[].functionDeclarations` → OpenAI `tools`, prior `functionCall` parts → assistant `tool_calls`, and `functionResponse` parts → `tool`-role messages. Response side: `convertOpenAIResponseToGemini` emits `parts[].functionCall {name,args}` from `message.tool_calls`, and the streaming `openAIChunkToGeminiChunk` accumulates fragmented `tool_calls` deltas by index into complete `functionCall` parts. The non-Gemini client paths (Claude, OpenAI-Responses) already preserved tool calls — this closes the gap specific to the native Gemini surface. Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1beta-gemini-tool-calling-6222.test.ts` (6, incl. a streaming SSE round-trip).
+- **feat(providers):** copilot-m365-web **enterprise / work tier** support ([#6334](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6334)) — mirrors the EDU-tier pattern (#6210): `M365ConnectionParams` gains an `agent` field, a new opt-in `M365_ENTERPRISE_OVERRIDES` preset (`agent=work`, `scenario=officeweb`, `licenseType=Premium`) applies via `providerSpecificData.tier="enterprise"` (alias `"work"`), and `agent` is also overridable directly via `providerSpecificData.agent`. `buildWsUrl` was hardcoding `agent="web"` (the one enterprise-distinguishing param with no override path), so a Premium work account handshook then returned an empty stream. The individual and EDU paths are untouched. Kilo's dup flag vs #6210 (EDU tier) was a false positive — different tier. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-enterprise-6334.test.ts` (7). End-to-end confirmation on a real Premium work account is a live-VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18). (thanks @Forcerecon)
+- **feat(api):** standardized, provider-agnostic **`effort` + `thinking` request params** ([#6241](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6241)) — a thin standardization layer over the existing mature per-provider reasoning plumbing (no provider mapper touched). `providerChatCompletionSchema` gains a canonical `effort` (reusing the shared `none/low/medium/high/xhigh` vocabulary — the UI tiers `extra`/`max` collapse onto `xhigh`) and a boolean `thinking`. A pure `normalizeReasoningRequest` (wired once in `src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, before any reasoning field is read) folds them onto the fields the translators already consume (`reasoning_effort` / `reasoning.effort` / `thinking`), so they fan out to Anthropic / Gemini / xAI / Responses — an explicit client `reasoning_effort` / object-shaped `thinking` always wins (backward-compatible). `/models` additively exposes `supportsThinking` + `effort_tiers` so the frontend can render the toggles (UI component is a follow-up). Regression guard: `tests/unit/effort-thinking-standardization-6241.test.ts` (12). (thanks @Iammilansoni, @shabeer)
+- **feat(combo):** new **`pipeline` (sequential) combo strategy** ([#6297](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6297)) — the 18th routing strategy runs targets **in order**, threading each step's output into the next step's input, with an optional per-step `prompt` (system instruction); only the final step's response is returned. Distinct from `fusion` (parallel fan-out + judge). Implemented as a self-contained `open-sse/services/pipeline.ts` (sibling to `fusion.ts`), dispatched from `combo.ts`; the step list reuses `combo.models` order and reads an optional `prompt` off each target (backward-compatible — ignored by every other strategy). Intermediate steps run non-streaming with tools stripped (complete prose to thread forward); the final step keeps the client's `stream` flag + tools. A failing/empty/unparseable intermediate step fails the whole pipeline explicitly via a sanitized error (never silently swallowed). Kilo's dup flag vs #563 was a false positive (that's model→chain selection; this is a sequential chain). Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-pipeline-strategy.test.ts` (5). (thanks @ofekbetzalel)
+- **feat(ci):** `check:test-masking` now flags **inline-reimplemented prod conditions** ([#6348](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6348)) — a new **report-only** subcheck (v2, 6A.10 family) catches the wrong-shape contract test: a test that recomputes the condition under test inline instead of importing/exercising the real function (the #6216 class, where `=== 500` → `>= 500` stayed green because the test re-implemented the branch). For each added/modified test file it warns when the file textually duplicates a ≥3-token conditional from a production file touched in the same PR **and** does not import the symbol/module owning it, via a pure, fixture-tested `findReimplementedConditions()` with an allowlist mirroring `assertReductionAllowlist`. Report-only for now (does not fail the gate) — to be promoted to blocking after a triage cycle. Regression guard: `tests/unit/check-test-masking.test.ts` (45).
+- **feat(sse):** per-connection routing override (native vs CLIProxyAPI) ([#6339](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6339)) — the previously-dead `isCliproxyapiDeepModeEnabled` helper is now wired into `resolveExecutorWithProxy`: a single connection can opt itself into the CLIProxyAPI passthrough executor via `providerSpecificData.cliproxyapiMode="claude-native"`, with precedence **connection override > provider `upstream_proxy_config` mode > default**. `resolveExecutorWithProxy` now receives the resolved connection's `providerSpecificData` (threaded from `chatCore.ts`), so one connection can deep-route while the provider's other connections stay native — no DB schema change (the toggle rides in `providerSpecificData`). Also resolves the same-provider mixing ask in #6340. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chatcore-executor-proxy.test.ts` (9). (thanks @RaviTharuma)
+- **feat(dashboard):** "Add session cookie" modal now shows a prominent **"Open ‹host› →"** link to the provider's own site ([#6268](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6268)) — every `-web` cookie-session provider (chatgpt-web, claude-web, gemini-web, kimi-web, lmarena, qwen-web, m365-copilot-web, …) renders a one-click external link (opening the provider's login/home page in a new tab) so operators no longer tab away to retype the URL mid-setup. The host resolves from a pure, unit-tested `resolveWebProviderHost()` (prefers `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS[id].website`, falls back to the registry `baseUrl` origin); non-web providers render exactly as before. Kilo's dup flag vs #6265 (modal-too-small-on-1080p) was a false positive — distinct concern. Regression guard: `tests/unit/resolve-web-provider-host.test.ts` (5). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add **DigitalOcean** AI (serverless inference) as an OpenAI-compatible API-key provider ([#6373](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6373)) — base `https://inference.do-ai.run/v1`, wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/digitalocean/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/inference-hosts.ts`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/digitalocean-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @newnol)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Huancheng Public API** (`hcnsec`) as an OpenAI-compatible regional provider ([#6410](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6410)) — Xinjiang Huancheng Cybersecurity's public LLM platform (base `https://api.hcnsec.cn/v1`, free credits via daily check-ins), wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/hcnsec/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/regional.ts`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/hcnsec-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @UnrealAryan)
+- **feat(dashboard):** the web-session credential guide now shows an **"Open {host}" link** ([#6316](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6316)) to the provider's sign-in site (derived from the provider `website` via `getProviderWebsiteHost`), so you can jump straight to the page where the cookie/session must be captured. Regression guard: `tests/unit/web-session-provider-link-6316.test.ts`. (thanks @jordansilly77-stack)
+- **feat(cerebras):** add the **Gemma 4 31B** model (`gemma-4-31b`) to the Cerebras registry + pricing table ([#6331](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6331)). Regression guard extends `tests/unit/t28-model-catalog-updates.test.ts`. (thanks @backryun)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Yuanbao (web)** as a cookie-session provider ([#6196](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6196)) — `yuanbao-web` (Tencent Yuanbao, `yuanbao.tencent.com`) with cookie-only auth (`hy_user`/`hy_token` + public agent id), SSE→OpenAI translation incl. `reasoning_content`, exposing DeepSeek V3/R1 + Hunyuan / Hunyuan-T1. Regression guard: `tests/unit/providers-yuanbao-web.test.ts`. `together-web` was **deferred** (no verifiable web-session endpoint — needs a captured request) and `huggingchat-web` **dropped** (the existing `huggingchat` already is a web-cookie provider). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** route the built-in **agentrouter** through the dynamic Claude-Code wire image ([#6056](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6056)) — a small static allow-set (`CC_WIRE_IMAGE_BUILTINS` in `open-sse/services/ccWireImageBuiltins.ts`), consulted by `isClaudeCodeCompatible` / `isClaudeCodeCompatibleProvider` / `applyFingerprint`, makes agentrouter adopt the CC wire-image headers + fingerprint **while guarding the CC baseUrl/auth branches** so it keeps its own registry `baseUrl` and `x-api-key` auth. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentrouter-cc-wire-image.test.ts` (asserts the wire image is applied AND agentrouter's baseUrl/auth are preserved). Live WAF-acceptance against agentrouter.org is a VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18).
+- **feat(providers):** **bulk-add API keys for Cloudflare Workers AI** ([#6174](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6174)) — `cloudflare-ai` is removed from the bulk-add exclusion list and the bulk parser gains a 3-field `name|accountId|apiKey` mode; the bulk route now builds a **per-entry** `providerSpecificData` so each key carries its own `accountId` (fixing the previous shared-object reuse), and both the create + key-validation paths receive it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/bulk-api-key-parser-cloudflare.test.ts`. (thanks @muflifadla38)
+- **feat(dashboard):** routing/settings UX clarity ([#6147](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6147)) — (1) weighted combos show the **effective routing share %** next to each weight when weights don't sum to 100 (`WeightTotalBar.tsx`); (2) the status widget's user-facing **"Cloud Sync" label is renamed** to "Remote Settings Sync" (`CloudSyncStatus.tsx`; internal ids/state untouched); (3) built-in providers gain an **opt-in advanced base-URL override** (`isBaseUrlOverrideEligibleProvider`, hidden behind an "Advanced" toggle, reusing the existing `providerSpecificData.baseUrl` persistence — not globally widened). Regression guard: `tests/unit/routing-settings-ux-6147.test.ts`.
+- **feat(combo):** add an option to **disable session stickiness**, per-combo or globally — round-robin / random combos can rotate to a different connection on every request instead of pinning a whole conversation to one connection by its first-message hash. Resolution precedence per-combo `config.disableSessionStickiness` → global `settings.disableSessionStickiness` → default `false` (preserves the #3825 prompt-cache/504 fix); gates **both** stickiness call sites in `open-sse/services/combo.ts`. Exposed as a global toggle (Combo Defaults) and a per-combo Inherit/on/off control. ([#6168](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6168)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-disable-session-stickiness.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+- **feat(docker):** add the `OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO` env flag for root-less / user-namespaced deployments — the MITM cert-trust command path (`resolveSudoSpawn` in `src/mitm/systemCommands.ts`) now strips the leading `sudo` when the flag is truthy, in addition to the existing root / sudo-missing cases, so the Proxy Agent runs without `sudo` (the operator trusts the CA manually, e.g. via `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`). Argv-array `spawn` preserved — no shell interpolation (Hard Rule #13). ([#6122](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6122)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-systemCommands-no-sudo.test.ts`. (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Requesty** as an OpenAI-compatible gateway provider (BYOK, base `https://router.requesty.ai/v1`, ~200 free requests/day) — wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/requesty/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/gateways.ts`). ([#6120](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6120)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/requesty-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add **configured-only / available-only filters** to the Free Provider Rankings page ([#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150)) — hide providers you haven't configured, or whose connections are all rate-limited / out of quota, via server-side query params (`?configuredOnly` / `?availableOnly` on `GET /api/free-provider-rankings`) backed by a testable lib helper reusing the in-process connection state (no Redis). Both filters default off, so the default view is unchanged; this supersedes the earlier client-side "Configured Only" toggle (#6245) with an available-only dimension and unit-tested logic. Regression guard: `tests/unit/freeProviderRankings-filters.test.ts`.
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(dashboard):** adding a second API key connection for the same provider no longer silently overwrites the first — the Add-API-key modal now derives a unique default connection name (`main`, then `main-2`, `main-3`, …) so the backend name-based upsert can't collide (#6499 — thanks @dilneiss).
+- **fix(compression):** the session-dedup engine now also deduplicates a large multi-line block repeated **within a single message** (intra-message dedup), not just across turns; the compression-preview API surfaces a `fallbackReason`, and the fusion panel reports how many models were rate-limited vs failed on total-panel failure (#6501 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **fix(compression):** a stacked-pipeline step naming an unregistered engine now surfaces a `validationErrors` entry instead of silently no-op'ing, so misconfigured pipelines are visible in the preview API (#6506 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **feat(usage):** add a **Codex reset-credit redemption** flow to the Provider Limits UI ([#6361](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6361)) — a `useCodexResetCreditRedemption` hook + `/api/usage/codex-reset-credit` route + `codexResetCredits` lib let you redeem banked Codex reset credits from the quota card. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-reset-credits.test.ts`. (thanks @JxnLexn)
+- **feat(glm):** add **team-plan quota settings** for `glm-cn` connections ([#6351](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6351)) — a dedicated `GlmTeamQuotaFields` form section (team quota id / limits) threaded through the Add/Edit connection modals, persisted via `providerSpecificData`, with the GLM usage service reading the team quota. Regression guards: `tests/unit/glm-team-quota.test.ts`, `provider-specific-data-schema.test.ts`. (thanks @hao3039032)
+- **feat(providers):** add **TinyFish** web-fetch/search support ([#6349](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6349)) — a `tinyfish-fetch` executor + `/v1/web/fetch` route + MCP web-fetch tool, registered as a specialty-media provider with request-validation and a search-provider catalog entry. Regression guards: `tests/unit/executor-tinyfish-fetch.test.ts`, `web-fetch-handler.test.ts`, `mcp-web-fetch-tool.test.ts`, `provider-validation-tinyfish.test.ts`. (thanks @dtybnrj)
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute launch-codex` now spawns `codex.cmd` through a shell on Windows (the npm `.cmd` shim is unresolvable by bare `spawn` → ENOENT), mirroring the qodercli Windows fix (#6263) ([#6312](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6312)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/launch-codex-windows-spawn-6312.test.ts`. (thanks @swingtempo)
+- **fix(codex):** isolate the **Spark** quota from the shared Codex quota and stabilize the quota UI ordering / hydration so per-scope limits render consistently ([#6336](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6336)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/codex-quota-selection-hydration.test.ts`, `provider-limits-ui.test.ts` + 3 more. (thanks @xz-dev)
+- **feat(api):** add a `hidePaidModels` setting that filters paid-only models out of the `/v1/models` catalog. Regression guard: `tests/unit/models-catalog-hide-paid.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api-manager):** the fallback model picker now preserves combos instead of dropping them when a primary model is unavailable ([#6443](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6443)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api-manager-page-static.test.ts`. (thanks @jmengit)
+- **fix(providers):** recoverable Antigravity / Cloud-Code (Gemini Code Assist) `403` responses ([#6452](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6452)) are now classified as a retryable project-config error instead of a terminal account ban, so a fixable project/API-disabled 403 no longer forces a ~1-year cooldown / full OAuth reconnect. Regression guard: `tests/unit/errorclassifier-antigravity-403.test.ts`. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(mitm):** `sanitizeHeaders` now redacts `Set-Cookie` response headers so upstream session cookies never leak into logs / diagnostics ([#6451](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6451)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-sanitize-headers.test.ts`. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(api):** `/api/compression/preview` now accepts `mode: "caveman"` and correctly handles stacked / zero-compression previews ([#6425](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6425)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api/compression-preview-caveman-and-stacked-6425.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Zed** hosted LLM aggregator as a native-app provider ([#6118](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6118)) — OAuth sign-in via the Zed hosted flow, registered through the shared provider registry + executor. Regression guards: `tests/unit/zed-oauth-provider.test.ts`, `zed-import-utils.test.ts`, `zed-docker-detect.test.ts`, `mitm-handler-zed.test.ts`. VPS-validated via live operator login (Hard Rule #18).
+- **fix(oauth):** the Kiro SSO-cache auto-import now **preserves the IDC region** — cross-region Amazon Q / Kiro profiles imported from the SSO cache are no longer collapsed to the default region ([#6113](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6113)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kiro-auto-import-idc-2059.test.ts`. VPS-validated via live operator login (Hard Rule #18).
+- **fix(dashboard):** passthrough model aliases no longer collide when two namespaced model ids share a last segment (port from 9router#1850, [#6431](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6431)). `enx/gpt-5.5` and `enx/codebuddy/gpt-5.5` both auto-generated the alias `gpt-5.5`, so the second model could never be added (the UI just alerted "alias already exists"). Aliases are now disambiguated deterministically — bare last segment when free, then parent-qualified (`codebuddy-gpt-5.5`), then a numeric suffix — while re-adding the exact same model id is still blocked. Regression guard: `tests/unit/passthrough-alias-1850.test.ts`. (thanks @arpicato)
+- **fix(translator):** preserve a Gemini `functionResponse` co-located with other parts (another `functionCall`, or trailing `text`) in the same content when translating **Gemini → OpenAI** ([#6376](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6376)). `convertGeminiContent()` early-returned the tool message on the first `functionResponse` part, dropping any co-located parts; such contents are now pre-split (one tool message per `functionResponse`, emitted first, plus one message for the remaining parts). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-to-openai-function-response.test.ts`. (thanks @warelik)
+- **fix(headroom):** detect a python interpreter managed by **mise / pyenv / asdf / conda** (port from 9router#2353, [#6382](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6382)). Headroom's python probe (`src/lib/headroom/detect.ts`) searched a hardcoded `PATH`, but version managers expose their interpreters via shim dirs that only join `PATH` through interactive-shell activation — which the non-interactive server never runs, so a managed python (≥3.10) was invisible and Headroom reported it missing. The search path now prepends the well-known shim/bin dirs (`~/.local/share/mise/shims`, `~/.pyenv/shims`, `~/.asdf/shims`, `$CONDA_PREFIX/bin`, `~/.local/bin`, respecting `MISE_DATA_DIR`/`PYENV_ROOT`/`ASDF_DATA_DIR` when set), and a new `HEADROOM_PYTHON` env override lets operators point straight at their interpreter (mirroring `HEADROOM_URL`). Still shell-free (`execFileSync`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/headroom-detect.test.ts` (5). (thanks @loopyd)
+- **fix(executors):** strip the OpenAI-Codex/Claude-CLI `client_metadata` passthrough field for **NVIDIA** requests (port from 9router#1887, [#6411](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6411)). NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible wrapper rejects it with `400 Unsupported parameter`, the same class already handled for `cerebras`/`mistral`; `nvidia` (executor `default`) was missing from the strip allowlist so Codex/Claude-Code passthrough requests 400'd. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executor-default-strip-client-metadata.test.ts` (+nvidia case). (thanks @phidinhmanh)
+- **fix(translator):** strip the Claude-style `thinking` field for **NVIDIA `z-ai/glm-5.2`** (port from 9router#2023, [#6413](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6413)). NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible wrapper 400s on `thinking` (a Claude-format client routed here leaves a `thinking:{type:"adaptive"}`); the existing strip rule only dropped `reasoning`. Same class already handled for `minimax-m2.7`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-minimax-thinking-strip.test.ts` (+glm-5.2 case). (thanks @phidinhmanh)
+- **fix(translator):** suppress the streamed `</think>` close marker for the **Antigravity IDE** client (port from 9router#1061, [#6415](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6415)). On thinking-only turns Antigravity rendered a bare `</think>` as the sole visible content, tripping its loop-detection and wasting requests. Antigravity's UA (`vscode/<v> (Antigravity/<v>)`) is added to the marker-suppress allowlist (alongside OpenCode); Claude Code / Cursor still get the marker, and `x-omniroute-thinking-marker: on` force-restores it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/think-close-marker-suppress-5245.test.ts`. (thanks @abdofallah)
+- **fix(executors):** strip nested `reasoning_content` from messages for **Mistral** (port from 9router#1649, [#6417](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6417)). Mistral's API returns `422 extra_forbidden` when an assistant message carries `reasoning_content` (replayed thinking from a prior turn, e.g. via the Codex `/responses` path); the generic top-level 400 field-downgrade retry never covered the nested per-message field. `DefaultExecutor` now strips it for provider `mistral` only, so DeepSeek (which requires replayed `reasoning_content`) is unaffected. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mistral-strip-reasoning-content-1649.test.ts`. (thanks @xxy9468615)
+- **fix(executors):** strip the `client_metadata` passthrough field on the **OpenCode** path (port from 9router#1442, [#6418](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6418)). OpenCode upstreams (e.g. `kimi-k2.6` via opencode-go) reject it with `400 "Extra inputs are not permitted, field: 'client_metadata'"`; the DefaultExecutor strip only covered cerebras/mistral and `OpencodeExecutor` extends `BaseExecutor` directly, so nothing removed it there. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-strip-client-metadata-1442.test.ts`. (thanks @yanpaing007)
+- **fix(executors):** inject the `reasoning_content` echo for the native **Moonshot Kimi** provider (port from 9router#1480, [#6419](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6419)). Kimi (executor `default`) is a thinking-mode upstream that 400s with "reasoning_content must be passed back" when a prior assistant turn lacks it; the placeholder injection was only wired into the OpenCode meta-provider, so direct multi-turn Kimi conversations failed. Scoped to `kimi` (gateway-served models matching the thinking-model name pattern are unaffected). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kimi-native-reasoning-injected-1480.test.ts`. (thanks @2220258345)
+- **fix(executors):** recover from a strict gateway's `context_management: Extra inputs are not permitted` 400 (port from 9router#1468, [#6420](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6420)). **Claude Code** always sends a top-level `context_management` field; strict anthropic-compatible gateways reject it. The dedicated context-editing 400-fallback only fired when OmniRoute's own `contextEditing` feature was enabled (default off), so a client-sent field passed through untouched and 400'd. `context_management` is now in the generic reactive field-strip list, so it's stripped-and-retried once regardless of the feature flag (with correct request re-signing for claude-compatible relays). Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-field-strips.test.ts`. (thanks @ohahe52-dot)
+- **fix(network):** enable **RFC 8305 Happy Eyeballs** (`autoSelectFamily`) on the direct-egress undici dispatcher (port from 9router#1237, [#6423](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6423)). When DNS returns both IPv6 (AAAA) and IPv4 (A) and the IPv6 route is broken (e.g. a NAT64 `64:ff9b::` prefix without routing), undici tried IPv6 first and hung until `ETIMEDOUT` (then a 502 + account lockout), even though `curl` reached the same host. The direct dispatcher now races both families and uses whichever connects first. Proxy paths pin family via `proxyTls` and are unaffected. Regression guard: `tests/unit/direct-dispatcher-pipelining-4580.test.ts`. (thanks @adentdk)
+- **fix(combo):** round-robin now advances the rotation pointer past the model that **actually served**, not the eagerly-scheduled one (port from 9router#948, [#6428](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6428)). With `stickyLimit: 1` (true round-robin), when the scheduled model failed and a _different_ model served via fallback, the counter had already advanced +1 from the scheduled index — so the next request reused the fallback-served model, degrading round-robin into hot-spotting on whichever model was healthy. The pointer now advances to the served index + 1 (mirroring the sticky-limit>1 path). Session-stickiness (#3825) and distribution are preserved. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-rr-fallback-advance-948.test.ts`. (thanks @binsarjr)
+- **fix(sse):** a non-string `model` field is now rejected with a `400` before the resolver, instead of crashing downstream `.toLowerCase()`/`.split()` calls into an empty-body `500` that escapes the error sanitizer ([#6407](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6407)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/chat-non-string-model-6407.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** unknown `/api/*` routes now return a JSON `404` (instead of the dashboard HTML shell) and scalar chat params (`model`/`temperature`/etc.) are validated **before** the provider lookup so malformed requests fail fast with a clear `400` ([#6424](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6424), [#6412](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6412)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/api/api-catchall-json-404.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chat-early-schema-validation-6412.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/chat/completions` now rejects a non-JSON `Content-Type` with a `400` before parsing the body ([#6414](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6414)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-chat-completions-content-type-6414.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the `X-OmniRoute-Compression` response header is now echoed on `/v1/chat/completions` and `/v1/completions` ([#6422](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6422)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression-header-echo-6422.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** concurrent `GET /v1/models` requests are coalesced into a single catalog build ([#6408](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6408)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-models-concurrent-6408.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/completions` now echoes the requested `body.model` in its JSON + streamed responses ([#6429](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6429)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/completions-body-model-echo.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** env-var master keys now see the full `/v1/models` catalog ([#6406](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6406)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/models-catalog-envkey-6406.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** non-streaming `/v1/completions` responses now echo `body.model` aligned with the `X-OmniRoute-Model` header ([#6426](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6426)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-completions-model-header-match-6426.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** unknown `/v1/*` routes now return a JSON `404 not_found` instead of the Next.js dashboard HTML shell ([#6405](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6405)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api/v1-catchall-json-404.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the per-connection provider models route now degrades to the shipped catalog when a provider's `/models` endpoint answers with a redirect ([#6267](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6267)) — a `qwen-web` import failed with a raw `Redirect blocked … (307)` 503. `safeOutboundFetch` throws `REDIRECT_BLOCKED` on the 307, `getSafeOutboundFetchErrorStatus` maps it to 503, and `buildDiscoveryErrorFallbackResponse` treated every 503 as a hard error — so the non-empty `getModelsByProviderId("qwen-web")` catalog was never surfaced. A models-endpoint redirect is not a fixable-config error (unlike `URL_GUARD_BLOCKED`/`INVALID_URL`, which stay hard errors), so it now falls back to the local/cached catalog before the 503 short-circuit. General fix — covers any config-driven provider that 307s. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-qwen-web-redirect-6267.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the per-connection provider models route (MCP `list_models_catalog` + the dashboard import view) now merges USER-ADDED custom models into its response ([#6247](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6247)) — custom models live in the `key_value` namespace `customModels`, which the live REST `/api/v1/models` already merges, but `src/app/api/providers/[id]/models/route.ts` never read `getCustomModels`, so custom models were dropped on both the discovery-success and local_catalog paths. They are now folded into the returned model list (deduped by id, stamped `owned_by: provider`), fixing MCP + the dashboard import view in one place. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-custom-merge-6247.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo tool-calling follow-up turns no longer fail upstream with `422 {"detail":"Validation error"}` (tokens 0/0, rejected pre-inference). The #6234 tool-result-feedback fix serialized the **entire** multi-turn conversation into GitLab's single-file `code_suggestions` (`small_file`) generation endpoint — folded history that turn-N sent as an oversized `current_file.content_above_cursor` **and** duplicated verbatim into `user_instruction`, tripping the AI-Gateway's `small_file` validation guard. The executor now **bounds** that prompt: it keeps system + latest user message + the most-recent tool round (dropping older turns), caps oversized tool results, and stops duplicating the full prompt into `user_instruction` (which now carries only the short latest user message) — while still feeding the most-recent tool result back so the agent continues (`open-sse/executors/gitlab.ts`, [#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)). The unit test covers the bounding logic; the upstream 422→200 clearing is VPS-only (Hard Rule #18). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-exchange-bounded-6220.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(i18n):** the provider-detail (`/dashboard/providers/[id]`) connection-status filter labels no longer render as `__MISSING__:All` / `__MISSING__:Active` / `__MISSING__:Error` / `__MISSING__:Banned` / `__MISSING__:CreditsExhausted` in non-English locales (notably pt-BR) ([#6290](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6290)). Root cause was **not** the namespace mismatch the issue guessed — the `providers.filter*` keys resolve correctly in `en.json`; the debt lived in the locale mirrors (`src/i18n/messages/*.json`), where these five keys carried the `__MISSING__:` sync sentinel in ~15 locales and were absent entirely in ~26 others, so next-intl found the key and echoed the sentinel verbatim. All 40 non-English/-Chinese mirrors now ship real translations for the five `providers.filter*` labels. Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-provider-filter-keys-6290.test.ts`. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(providers):** the `copilot-m365-web` streaming executor now emits `debug`-level WebSocket diagnostics ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)) — the outbound WS URL (with the `access_token` **redacted** via `redactWsUrl()`), handshake success/failure, and each received SignalR frame's `type`/`target`. Previously the streaming path logged nothing, so an empty `content:null` response (the M365 Education / Starter tier symptom fixed in #6234) was undiagnosable even at `APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug`. The change is debug-level and side-effect-free — it does not alter streaming behavior or the frame parser, and the token never reaches the logs. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-web-logging-6210.test.ts` (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(resilience):** a round-robin combo no longer returns `503 all upstream accounts are unavailable` when a compatibility-rejected target is actually healthy ([#6238](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6238)). `filterTargetsByRequestCompatibility` drops request-incompatible targets (tool/vision/structured-output unsupported, or below the required context window) **before** any availability check runs, and its `compatible.length === 0` safety net only fired when _all_ targets were filtered — not when the kept targets later all turned out runtime-unavailable (circuit-open / cooldown / no credentials). So a combo could 503 while a compat-rejected-but-healthy provider sat unused. `handleRoundRobinCombo` now keeps the compat-rejected set and, when every compat-kept target was skipped without a single real attempt, probes those rejected targets as a **last-resort fallback tier** (via the new pure `open-sse/services/combo/comboCompatFallback.ts`) before crystallizing the 503. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-roundrobin-compat-fallback-6238.test.ts`. (thanks @ThongAccount)
+
+- **fix(startup):** best-effort self-heal for a corrupted Turbopack dev cache on Windows ([#6289](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6289)). On Windows, `pnpm dev` can fail at startup when Turbopack `mmap`s a persistent-cache SST file and the OS refuses the mapping (`os error 1455` — "paging file too small"), which Turbopack surfaces as a misleading `Module not found: Can't resolve '@/shared/utils/machine'`. This is a **known upstream Turbopack cache-corruption bug — not our code**. The dev launcher (`scripts/dev/run-next.mjs`) now wraps `nextApp.prepare()` and, when it rejects with that signature (`isTurbopackCacheCorruption` in the new `scripts/dev/turbopackCacheHeal.mjs`), purges `.build/next/**/cache/turbopack` and retries **once** with a clear log. **Caveat — best-effort only:** the corruption often surfaces as a runtime overlay rather than a `prepare()` rejection, so this cannot always intercept it; the reliable remedy remains manually deleting the Turbopack cache dir. Regression guard: `tests/unit/turbopack-cache-heal-6289.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(providers):** qodercli PAT auth no longer fails with `spawn qodercli ENOENT` on Windows ([#6263](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6263)) — `spawnQoderCli` spawned the bare `qodercli` name with `shell:false` and an unenriched env, so the npm `.cmd` wrapper under `%APPDATA%\npm` (a user-PATH directory) was never resolved. It now resolves the absolute `.cmd`/`.exe` path through the existing `getCliRuntimeStatus("qoder")` resolver in `src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts` (memoized), spawns with `shell` when the target is a `.cmd`/`.bat`, and uses the cliRuntime-enriched env (PATH + PATHEXT + APPDATA); the ENOENT error now lists the searched paths plus the `CLI_QODER_BIN` override. End-to-end spawn on a real Windows host is host-only (Hard Rule #18); the path-resolution logic is unit-tested. Regression guard: `tests/unit/qodercli-windows-resolve-6263.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(sse):** the reasoning-token buffer no longer inflates **probe-sized `max_tokens`** ([#6274](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6274)) — Claude Code's `/model` capability check sends `max_tokens: 1`, but for a thinking-capable model with a large output cap (e.g. `glm-5.2`) the #3587 headroom heuristic (`max(current + 1000, ceil(current * 1.5))`) rewrote it to `1001` and forwarded that upstream, wasting tokens on a request that was never a genuine reasoning budget. `resolveReasoningBufferedMaxTokens()` (`open-sse/services/reasoningTokenBuffer.ts`) now short-circuits and returns the caller's value verbatim when it is below the new `REASONING_BUFFER_MIN_TRIGGER` (256) threshold — a tiny explicit limit is a probe, not a reasoning request. Real budgets still receive the #3587 headroom unchanged, and the guard runs after the existing capability checks so unknown / non-reasoning models keep returning `null`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/reasoning-token-buffer-6274.test.ts`. (thanks @brightfiscalband)
+
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute reset-password` now works as a real subcommand, and password resets over piped (non-TTY) stdin actually apply ([#6261](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6261), [#6258](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6258)). Two coupled defects: (1) **#6261** — `bin/omniroute.mjs` routed everything through Commander with only two pre-Commander bypasses (`--mcp`, `reset-encrypted-columns`), so `omniroute reset-password` was rejected as an unknown command; only the separate `omniroute-reset-password` bin worked, while the docs falsely advertised the subcommand (incl. a bogus "legacy alias still works"). A pre-Commander bypass mirroring `reset-encrypted-columns` now dynamically imports `bin/reset-password.mjs` (which self-executes) before Commander parses; the three doc lines were corrected. (2) **#6258** — `bin/reset-password.mjs` issued two sequential `rl.question` prompts; under piped stdin the second read never settled at EOF, so `main()` never reached `resetManagementPassword` and the reset was a silent no-op (both prompts printed, no success, password unchanged). The CLI now detects non-TTY stdin and reads it once (first line = password, second line = confirm if present, else reused), adds a `--password-stdin` flag (entire stdin is the password, no confirmation), and exits `0` explicitly so the success line always flushes; interactive TTY behavior is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/reset-password-cli-6261-6258.test.ts` (3). (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(db):** the mass-migration **safety abort** now tells the operator how to bypass it and stops flooding the log ([#6260](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6260)) — after restoring a backup that wiped the migration tracking table, `runMigrations()` threw the abort on every downstream `ensureDbInitialized()`, re-logging the full banner 11+ times, and the message never mentioned the existing `OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS` escape hatch. The abort text now appends a bypass hint (set `OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS=0` in `server.env` / `DATA_DIR/.env`), and a new `MigrationSafetyAbortError` is memoized so repeated calls in the same process throw the same instance and emit a single concise line instead of the full cascade. Regression guard: `tests/unit/migration-safety-abort-6260.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(auth):** importing a **distinct** Codex/ChatGPT OAuth `auth.json` is no longer falsely rejected as "already exists" when it belongs to a different user in the same workspace ([#6301](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6301)). `findExistingCodexConnection` (in `src/lib/oauth/utils/codexAuthImport.ts`) deduped **only** on `providerSpecificData.workspaceId === accountId`, where `accountId` is the shared `chatgpt_account_id`/`tokens.account_id` — so two members of the same ChatGPT Team collapsed onto a single connection (409 `duplicate_account`). The id_token's `https://api.openai.com/auth` claim carries a per-user `chatgpt_user_id` alongside the workspace id (the device-flow path already persisted it as `chatgptUserId`, but the import path did not). Now `parseAndValidateCodexAuth` extracts `userId` (`chatgpt_user_id` → `user_id` → JWT `sub`) into `ParsedCodexAuth`, the create/update paths persist `chatgptUserId` in `providerSpecificData` (mirroring `codex.ts`), and dedup keys on `workspaceId` **AND** `chatgptUserId` — with a backward-compat fallback to legacy accountId-only matching when no stored connection for that workspace records a `chatgptUserId`, so genuinely-same accounts still dedup. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-auth-import-userid-dedup-6301.test.ts` (4). (thanks @anungma)
+
+- **fix(providers):** importing models for the **venice-web** provider no longer fails with a red "Provider venice-web does not support models listing" ([#6269](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6269)). `venice-web` is a web-cookie provider with an executor but no upstream `/v1/models` endpoint and no registry `models`, so the models route fell through to the tail `400`. Mirroring the `jules`/`linkup-search`/`ollama-search` fix (#5569), it now ships a static local catalog entry in `src/lib/providers/staticModels.ts` — seeding the current Venice lineup (`venice-uncensored`, `llama-3.3-70b`, `qwen3-235b`, `qwen3-4b`, `deepseek-r1-671b`; Venice rotates its catalog, see docs.venice.ai/models/overview) — so the route returns `200` with `source:"local_catalog"`, `intentional:true`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/static-models-venice-web-6269.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(api):** the specialty model catalogs (`/v1/embeddings`, `/v1/images`, `/v1/music`, `/v1/videos` model lists) are now derived from the **unified catalog filtered by a predicate** (`getSpecialtyModelsResponse`) instead of ad-hoc per-route logic, so they consistently respect active-credential visibility and stay in sync with the main catalog ([#6303](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6303)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/specialty-model-catalog-routes.test.ts`. (thanks @makcimbx)
+- **fix(api):** the agent-bridge server route now resolves the MITM manager via a **dynamic `import("@/mitm/manager.runtime")`** so Turbopack does not statically pull the stub (or over-bundle the manager), and the agent-skills generator anchors its output base path with `path.join(process.cwd(), …)` so Turbopack's static analyzer stops tracing the whole project root ([#6329](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6329), [#6366](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6366)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/agent-bridge-server-route-dynamic-import.test.ts`. (thanks @Iammilansoni)
+- **fix(api):** internal probes (combo-test, cloud-sync verify) now pick a **management-scoped / allow-all API key** instead of naively grabbing `getApiKeys()[0]` — a restricted `self:usage` first row made the probe fail with "Model X is not allowed for this API key" even when the combo path was healthy (`pickApiKeyForInternalUse` in `src/lib/db/apiKeys.ts`). The API-manager model editor also falls back to `/api/models?all=true` when `/v1/models` is catalog-protected ([#6372](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6372)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/pick-internal-api-key-6372.test.ts`. (thanks @jmengit)
+- **fix(live-ws):** the Live Dashboard WebSocket server now **rejects on bind failure** (e.g. `EADDRINUSE` when the API bridge already holds the port) instead of letting the error surface as an unhandled `error` event that crash-loops the process — the `error` listener is attached to `wss` (not `server`) and releases the EventBus subscription on a failed start ([#6324](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6324)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/live-ws-eaddrinuse-6324.test.ts`. (thanks @vinayakkulkarni)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the Home provider-topology widget now trusts the live provider-metrics snapshot — it uses `topology.errorProvider` and live `activeRequests` directly instead of re-deriving state from a stale `lastErrorAt` or applying a frontend timeout filter, so the topology reflects real-time provider health ([#6322](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6322)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/home-provider-topology-live-state.test.ts`. (thanks @xz-dev)
+- **fix(sse):** strip zero-width markers from streamed **tool-call arguments** — a follow-up to [#5857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5857). That PR removed injected zero-width joiners (U+200D) from streamed assistant text/reasoning but deliberately left tool-call argument JSON byte-exact. The request-side obfuscation (`open-sse/services/claudeCodeObfuscation.ts`) injects ZWJ into agent words — including the temp path inside the Bash tool description — and Claude models copy that verbatim into generated commands, which are delivered as tool-call arguments rather than assistant text. As a result the ZWJ survived and corrupted code blocks (e.g. a temp path rendered with an invisible joiner). Now `open-sse/handlers/responseSanitizer.ts` strips zero-width code points from tool-call argument strings at every emit site (OpenAI non-stream/stream chat `tool_calls` + legacy `function_call`, native Responses `function_call` items, the OpenAI→Responses conversion, and the native Responses streaming `response.function_call_arguments.delta/.done` events). Only zero-width code points are removed; JSON structure and all other bytes stay identical (no parse/restringify), so normal arguments remain byte-exact. Regression guard: 6 new cases in `tests/unit/response-sanitizer.test.ts` (suite 50/50).
+
+- **fix(nodejs):** the default app log path now resolves under `DATA_DIR` (`~/.omniroute/logs/application/app.log`) instead of `process.cwd()` ([#6197](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6197)) — the globally-installed CLI runs from an arbitrary working directory, so anchoring the default to cwd made file logging silently write to (or no-op under) an unrelated directory, contradicting the documented `.env.example` default. `getAppLogFilePath()` now computes the default lazily via the pure `resolveDataDir()` resolver (honours a per-process `DATA_DIR`, no directory-creation side effect); an explicit `APP_LOG_FILE_PATH` still wins. Regression guard: `tests/unit/logenv-datadir-path-6197.test.ts` (3).
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge/`startMitm` no longer aborts in containers/headless when the Antigravity-default DNS step can't write `/etc/hosts` ([#6127](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6127)), and the privileged command's stderr now reaches `app.log` instead of only a bare exit code hitting the toast ([#6198](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6198)). The default DNS step (`addDNSEntry`) was called unguarded while cert install and the two sibling DNS steps were each best-effort — in the runtime Docker image (`USER node`, no `sudo`, read-only `/etc/hosts`) it threw `Command failed with code 1` out of `startMitmInternal` and killed the whole start, discarding the stderr. The three DNS steps are extracted into a best-effort `provisionDnsEntries()` where each failure is logged with the full `err` (stderr included, folded in by `systemCommands.ts`) and never aborts the start. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-dns-graceful-degrade-6127.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** copilot-m365-web now supports the M365 Education "Starter / OfficeWebIncludedCopilot" tier and no longer returns an empty `content:null` stream ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)). Two gaps: (1) `buildWsUrl()` hardcoded the individual-consumer scenario (`OfficeWebPaidConsumerCopilot`, `isEdu=false`) — the EDU tier is now opt-in via `providerSpecificData.tier="edu"`, emitting `scenario=OfficeWebIncludedCopilot`/`isEdu=true` (the individual path is unchanged); (2) the EDU/GPT-5.5 path streams deltas via `arguments[0].writeAtCursor` (incremental) instead of only `messages[].text` (accumulated snapshots), which the parser dropped — a new `accumulateBotContent()` folds both formats, with `type:2 item.result.message` as a last-resort fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-edu-writeatcursor-6210.test.ts` (10). (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo executor now feeds tool results back into the prompt instead of looping ([#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)) — `buildPrompt()` branched only on `system`/`user` and took `userParts.at(-1)`, silently dropping the `assistant{tool_calls}` + `tool{result}` turns the client appended, so the reconstructed prompt was byte-identical to turn 1 and the model re-emitted the same `<tool>` call forever. When a tool exchange is present the full conversation is now serialized, folding each tool result back keyed by its `tool_call_id`; simple conversations keep the legacy shape. Complements the tool_call emission from [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051) (the `kilo-duplicate` label was a false positive — different, sequential defect). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-result-feedback-6220.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** opencode-go/opencode-zen can now synthesize the OpenCode CLI identity headers Cloudflare requires on VPS egress ([#5997](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5997)) — on a datacenter VPS, `opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/chat/completions` 403s (HTML challenge) requests lacking CLI identity, while the reporter's control curl proved that `User-Agent: opencode-cli/1.0.0` + `x-opencode-client: cli` + `x-opencode-project: default` + fresh request/session UUIDs succeed. Opt-in via `OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS=true` (values overridable via `OPENCODE_GO_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_CLIENT`/`OPENCODE_PROJECT`); it fills only headers the client did not already send. Kept **off by default** — the forward-only path is deliberate (fabricating a wrong value risks upstream rejection; a prior dedup regressed with `opencode/local`), so this replaces the fragile local header-injection shim without changing default behavior. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-cli-headers-synthesis-5997.test.ts` (6). (thanks @aleksesipenko)
+- fix(resilience): sticky session affinity now evicts and fails over to another account when the pinned account is exhausted/unavailable (#6219)
+
+- fix(sse): Responses API passthrough now drops internal commentary-phase output before forwarding to clients (gated by RESPONSES_PASSTHROUGH_DROP_COMMENTARY, default on) (#6199)
+
+- **fix(sse):** tool-call function schemas with a root `type: null` are now coerced to `type: "object"` before dispatch ([#6359](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6359)) — clients like the Codex app emit `parameters: { type: null, ... }` for some tools, which OpenAI-compatible upstreams reject with `400 Invalid schema for function '...': schema must be a JSON Schema of 'type: "object"', got 'type: null'`, failing the whole request. `toolSchemaSanitizer` already stripped the null; it now re-adds the mandatory root `"object"` type (and empty `properties`/open `additionalProperties` when absent). Combinator roots (`anyOf`/`oneOf`/`allOf`) and explicit root types are left untouched. Regression guard: 5 new cases in `tests/unit/tool-schema-sanitizer.test.mjs`.
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge no longer fails to start on npm/Electron/VPS installs with "MITM manager stub reached at runtime" ([#6344](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6344)) — v3.8.45 flipped the production bundler default to Turbopack, but `next.config.mjs` aliased `@/mitm/manager` to its Docker-only degraded stub **unconditionally**. That was harmless while Docker (which sets the alias intentionally for #3390 graceful degradation) was the sole Turbopack consumer, but once every artifact built with Turbopack the stub shipped to all non-Docker users and `startMitm` threw on the first Agent-Bridge start. The alias is now opt-in via `OMNIROUTE_MITM_STUB=1` (set only by the Dockerfile) through the shared `scripts/build/mitm-stub-flag.mjs` helper; default builds bundle the real manager. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-stub-alias-6344.test.mjs` (4).
+
+- **fix(proxy):** stop the v3.8.44 proxy regression that leaked the real IP and disabled healthy proxies ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Two coupled defects from the new health scheduler: (1) **IP leak** — when a proxy assigned to a connection was marked `inactive`, resolution fell through to a **direct** egress instead of blocking, exposing the operator's real IP; (2) **over-deactivation** — the sweep flipped a proxy to `inactive` on the **first** failed probe and counted our own 5s timeout / a probe-target `5xx` as the proxy's fault, so healthy paid proxies vanished from egress selection ("my proxies are not being used anymore"). Fix: the sweep decision is extracted into a pure, network-free `decideProxyHealthAction` (`src/lib/proxyHealth/decision.ts`) — by default the health check now **only counts/logs and never downgrades status** (a proxy is downgraded/removed only with `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE=true`, after `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE_AFTER` **consecutive** conclusive failures); probes are classified tri-state so an inconclusive result (our timeout, or a `5xx` from the probe target) never penalizes the proxy, and the probe timeout is raised 5s→15s. Separately, `safeResolveProxy` now **fails closed** via the existing policy: a connection whose assigned proxy is dead is blocked instead of leaking direct (`hasBlockingProxyAssignment`), honoring the explicit `proxy off` toggles and the `PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true` opt-out. Existing proxies stuck `inactive` by the old behavior need a one-time manual re-activate (the operator owns proxy status). Regression guards: `tests/unit/proxy-health-decide-action-6246.test.ts`, `tests/unit/proxy-assigned-unavailable-6246.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(proxy):** make "Test All" read-only and add bulk enable/disable ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Complements the core fail-closed / scheduler fix (#6296) with the two remaining reporter asks. (1) The **"Test All" button** (`POST /api/settings/proxies/auto-test`) used to flip a proxy to `inactive` on a failed reachability probe; since the egress selector excludes `inactive` proxies, a flaky probe (an unreachable `httpbin.org`, a proxy that blocks `HEAD`, or a slow paid proxy) silently disabled every proxy that failed — "Test All" is now **read-only by default** (only the operator sets a proxy active/inactive; opt back into the legacy test-and-set with `PROXY_HEALTH_AUTO_DEACTIVATE=true`). (2) Adds a **bulk enable/disable** proxies endpoint + toolbar action (`POST /api/settings/proxies/batch-activate`) so an operator can re-activate proxies in one click. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-health-6246.test.ts`. (thanks @tenshiak)
+
+- **chatcore (tools): stop the default 128-tool cap from silently dropping opencode's `task`/MCP tools.** opencode (used as an MCP/agent host) sends a large tool list; when it exceeds the speculative `MAX_TOOLS_LIMIT` (128) default, `truncateToolList` did a blind `tools.slice(0, 128)`, dropping every tool past index 128 — including opencode's built-in `task` tool (subagent launch) and many MCP tools, so models routed through OmniRoute could no longer spawn subagents or reach part of their tools. The cap exists to avoid upstream `400`s for providers with real hard limits (e.g. grok-cli 200), so it is kept for those: detection of the opencode client (`isOpencodeClient` — any `x-opencode-*` header, or `opencode` in the user-agent) now only bypasses the **speculative 128 default**, never a known provider ceiling. Precedence is explicit — a proactive/detected provider limit always truncates (even for opencode); otherwise opencode forwards its full tool list; otherwise the unchanged 128 default applies to every other client. Refactors `getEffectiveToolLimit` into `getKnownToolLimit(provider) ?? DEFAULT_LIMIT` (byte-identical for existing callers) and fixes a cosmetic debug-log that reported the truncated count instead of the original. Regression guard: `tests/unit/tool-limit-detector.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the macOS MITM-cert install check now matches the system keychain again. `security find-certificate -a -Z` prints the SHA-1 as a colon-less hex string, but the installed-check compared it against `getCertFingerprint()`'s colon-separated form, so the substring match never hit — the cert was reported as not-installed and re-prompted for the sudo install on every run. Fingerprints are now normalized (colons stripped, upper-cased) on both sides via the extracted `macCertOutputHasFingerprint` helper. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-cert-mac-fingerprint.test.ts`. ([#6204](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6204), closes [#6134](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6134) — thanks @rianonehub)
+
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/messages/count_tokens` now counts `tool_use`, `tool_result` and `thinking` content blocks (and array-form `system` prompts) in the local-estimation path, instead of only `text`. Real agentic conversations keep ~95% of their tokens inside tool results; the previous estimate returned near-zero for them, which silently broke Claude Code's auto-compaction (context grew past the window with no compaction until the upstream API rejected the request). The real provider-side count path is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/messages-count-tokens-route.test.ts`. ([#6221](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6221) — thanks @luweiCN)
+
+- **fix(antigravity):** strip a trailing assistant prefill turn for Vertex Claude models to avoid upstream 400s ([#6114](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6114)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-claude-prefill-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(security):** the mutable cloud-agent routes (`/api/cloud/credentials/update`, `/api/cloud/models/alias`) now require management auth instead of being treated as public. They were classified as public API routes, so a request without management credentials could update stored cloud-agent credentials and model aliases. They are removed from the public-route set, classified as management routes in the authz pipeline, and gated by `requireManagementAuth`; cloud **read**/auth routes stay public. Regression guards: `tests/unit/cloud-write-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts`, `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6233](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6233) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+
+- **refactor(dashboard):** extract the onboarding-wizard "Open provider details" link target into a pure, unit-tested `buildProviderDetailsHref(connection)` helper. The wizard already routes by `connection.id` (the node UUID) rather than the provider category slug (#6144/#6145); this hardens that behavior behind a tested helper that guards a missing id/connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-onboarding-href.test.ts`. ([#6166](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6166) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+
+- **fix(security):** the doubao synthetic device-id generator now derives its digits via an unbiased crypto-random draw (rejection sampling over `crypto.randomBytes()`) instead of a `% 10` reduction, closing a CodeQL `js/biased-cryptographic-random` finding.
+- **fix(agentSkills):** the GitHub-skills generator now resolves `outputDir` to an absolute path before writing, fixing a regression introduced by #6366 (relative-to-cwd base path) that could write generated skill files to the wrong directory.
+- **fix(security):** `/api/keys/{id}/devices` now checks the HTTP method before auth/validation, returning a `405` for non-GET/DELETE verbs instead of a misleading `401`/`500` (closes a `dast-smoke` QUERY-method finding).
+- **fix(quality):** clear the last 2 heavy quality-gate reds on the release tip (cycle pre-flight).
+- **fix(mitm):** the test suite and CI can never mutate the OS trust store — `OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1` is set globally for tests/CI so `installCert`/`uninstallCert`/`installTproxyCa` skip the privileged OS dispatch ([#6310](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6310); full detail is under the [3.8.45] section below — this branch received it via the parallel-cycle sync-back).
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/github-skills` now Zod-validates its request body; documented the new quality-gate env vars and pinned the merge-integrity GitHub Actions to a commit SHA.
+- **fix(skills):** generate the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry and align the agent-skills catalog-count tests (follow-up to #6186).
+- **fix(quality):** clear the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors and make `validate-release-green` suppressions-aware.
+- **fix(security):** proxy-pool `random` rotation now selects via `crypto.randomInt` instead of `Math.random` — silences the post-release CodeQL `js/insecure-randomness` alerts (#698/#699) that flagged `Math.random` flowing into the selected proxy's credentials. Load-balancing selection is not a secret, but the crypto source is unbiased and clears the alert at the origin (#6365 follow-up).
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **i18n(it):** add 118 missing Italian (`it`) translations (net-additive — no existing keys dropped, valid JSON), improving Italian UI coverage. ([#6212](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6212) — thanks @serverless83)
+- **chore(providers):** remove deprecated **MiMo V2** model entries from the catalogs (xiaomi-mimo, opencode-go, zenmux-free, audio TTS) — the upstream V2 line is superseded by MiMo V2.5; drops `mimo-v2-tts`, `mimo-v2-pro`, `mimo-v2-omni`, `mimo-v2-flash`, `mimo-v2-flash-free` and realigns the provider-catalog tests. ([#6248](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6248) — thanks @backryun)
+- **chore(release):** ~50 commits on this branch are v3.8.45 pre-flight/hardening fixes and CI-perf work that landed here via the parallel-cycle sync-back (`sync-next-cycle.mjs`, Hard Rule #21) **after** the `v3.8.45` git tag was cut, and are already fully documented under the **[3.8.45]** section below — listed here only so the per-cycle commit-coverage check (`npm run release:uncovered`) doesn't flag them as gaps. Provider/catalog/UX/backend fixes: #6041, #6078, #6108, #6135, #6148, #6149, #6154, #6158, #6161, #6162, #6163, #6164, #6165, #6170, #6177, #6178, #6181, #6186, #6187, #6191, #6193, #6194, #6195, #6200, #6205, #6208, #6209, #6211, #6213, #6223, #6224, #6225, #6226, #6227, #6228, #6229, #6230, #6235, #6291, #6292. CI/release-pipeline work: #6167, #6203, #6214, #6215, #6218, #6273, #6275, #6283, #6284, #6285, #6300, #6305.
+- **chore(release):** additional zero-ref release-cycle plumbing on this branch, kept out of `release:uncovered` on purpose (no `#N` in the commit subject to cite): opening the v3.8.46 cycle, opening/closing the v3.8.45 cycle, the finalized [3.8.45] CHANGELOG i18n sync-back to 42 mirrors, the v3.8.45 cognitive/cyclomatic and file-size drift rebaselines, ESLint stale-suppression pruning (4,273 → 4,233), and clearing test-masking/docs-all pre-flight reds for v3.8.45.
+
+### ⚡ Performance & Infrastructure
+
+- **perf(release-green):** the pre-flight validator (`scripts/quality/validate-release-green.mjs`) now runs its 4 slow suites (unit / vitest / integration / pack-artifact) **concurrently** via `Promise.all` — pre-flight wall time drops from ~the sum of the suites to ~the slowest one (~30min saved per round; Phase 0 was the nº1 bottleneck of the v3.8.45 release benchmark, 2h54 of 6h34 e2e). Guard: `tests/unit/validate-release-green.test.ts` ("runs the slow suites CONCURRENTLY"). ([#6319](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6319))
+- **fix(ci):** `scripts/release/sync-next-cycle.mjs` — two defects found live in its first production run (v3.8.45 Phase 5): (1) the `git()` helper's default 1 MiB `maxBuffer` crashed with `ENOBUFS` on `git show origin/main:CHANGELOG.md` (the CHANGELOG alone is >1 MiB) — widened to 64 MiB; (2) the i18n resync only propagated the `[NEXT]` (TBD) section, leaving the just-shipped finalized section as "— TBD" in all 42 mirrors — it now also syncs `[prevVersion]` bounded by the heading below it (new exported pure helper `versionAfter`). Guards: +5 tests in `tests/unit/sync-next-cycle.test.ts` (8/8). ([#6327](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6327))
+- **test(ci):** concurrency-sensitive flaky tests are **quarantined into a serial pass** (`tests/unit/serial/`, `--test-concurrency=1`, appended to every unit runner incl. sharded variants — the serial pass is sharded too so concurrent shard jobs never self-collide). Initial set: `glm-coding-plan-monthly-3580`, `quota-division-blocks`, `provider-health-autopilot`, `combo-health-autopilot` — the class behind the ~28min CI wedges/re-runs (two live 1h+ wedges cancelled during this PR's own validation). Discovery + TIA gates track the new glob; systemic root cause (async logger writing after teardown) tracked in [#6360](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6360). Guard: `tests/unit/test-serial-quarantine.test.ts` (4). ([#6347](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6347))

+## [3.8.45] — 2026-07-06
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(providers):** add **Yuanbao (web)** as a cookie-session provider ([#6196](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6196)) — `yuanbao-web` (Tencent Yuanbao, `yuanbao.tencent.com`) with cookie-only auth (`hy_user`/`hy_token` + public agent id), SSE→OpenAI translation incl. `reasoning_content`, exposing DeepSeek V3/R1 + Hunyuan / Hunyuan-T1. Regression guard: `tests/unit/providers-yuanbao-web.test.ts`. `together-web` was **deferred** (no verifiable web-session endpoint — needs a captured request) and `huggingchat-web` **dropped** (the existing `huggingchat` already is a web-cookie provider). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** route the built-in **agentrouter** through the dynamic Claude-Code wire image ([#6056](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6056)) — a small static allow-set (`CC_WIRE_IMAGE_BUILTINS` in `open-sse/services/ccWireImageBuiltins.ts`), consulted by `isClaudeCodeCompatible` / `isClaudeCodeCompatibleProvider` / `applyFingerprint`, makes agentrouter adopt the CC wire-image headers + fingerprint **while guarding the CC baseUrl/auth branches** so it keeps its own registry `baseUrl` and `x-api-key` auth. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentrouter-cc-wire-image.test.ts` (asserts the wire image is applied AND agentrouter's baseUrl/auth are preserved). Live WAF-acceptance against agentrouter.org is a VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18).
+- **feat(providers):** **bulk-add API keys for Cloudflare Workers AI** ([#6174](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6174)) — `cloudflare-ai` is removed from the bulk-add exclusion list and the bulk parser gains a 3-field `name|accountId|apiKey` mode; the bulk route now builds a **per-entry** `providerSpecificData` so each key carries its own `accountId` (fixing the previous shared-object reuse), and both the create + key-validation paths receive it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/bulk-api-key-parser-cloudflare.test.ts`. (thanks @muflifadla38)
+- **feat(dashboard):** routing/settings UX clarity ([#6147](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6147)) — (1) weighted combos show the **effective routing share %** next to each weight when weights don't sum to 100 (`WeightTotalBar.tsx`); (2) the status widget's user-facing **"Cloud Sync" label is renamed** to "Remote Settings Sync" (`CloudSyncStatus.tsx`; internal ids/state untouched); (3) built-in providers gain an **opt-in advanced base-URL override** (`isBaseUrlOverrideEligibleProvider`, hidden behind an "Advanced" toggle, reusing the existing `providerSpecificData.baseUrl` persistence — not globally widened). Regression guard: `tests/unit/routing-settings-ux-6147.test.ts`.
+- **feat(combo):** add an option to **disable session stickiness**, per-combo or globally — round-robin / random combos can rotate to a different connection on every request instead of pinning a whole conversation to one connection by its first-message hash. Resolution precedence per-combo `config.disableSessionStickiness` → global `settings.disableSessionStickiness` → default `false` (preserves the #3825 prompt-cache/504 fix); gates **both** stickiness call sites in `open-sse/services/combo.ts`. Exposed as a global toggle (Combo Defaults) and a per-combo Inherit/on/off control. ([#6168](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6168)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-disable-session-stickiness.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+- **feat(docker):** add the `OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO` env flag for root-less / user-namespaced deployments — the MITM cert-trust command path (`resolveSudoSpawn` in `src/mitm/systemCommands.ts`) now strips the leading `sudo` when the flag is truthy, in addition to the existing root / sudo-missing cases, so the Proxy Agent runs without `sudo` (the operator trusts the CA manually, e.g. via `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`). Argv-array `spawn` preserved — no shell interpolation (Hard Rule #13). ([#6122](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6122)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-systemCommands-no-sudo.test.ts`. (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Requesty** as an OpenAI-compatible gateway provider (BYOK, base `https://router.requesty.ai/v1`, ~200 free requests/day) — wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/requesty/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/gateways.ts`). ([#6120](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6120)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/requesty-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add **configured-only / available-only filters** to the Free Provider Rankings page ([#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150)) — hide providers you haven't configured, or whose connections are all rate-limited / out of quota, via server-side query params (`?configuredOnly` / `?availableOnly` on `GET /api/free-provider-rankings`) backed by a testable lib helper reusing the in-process connection state (no Redis). Both filters default off, so the default view is unchanged; this supersedes the earlier client-side "Configured Only" toggle (#6245) with an available-only dimension and unit-tested logic. Regression guard: `tests/unit/freeProviderRankings-filters.test.ts`.
+- **feat(rankings):** add a **'Configured Only'** filter to the Free Provider Rankings page, so the table can be narrowed to just the providers you have configured connections for (with an empty-state hint when none are configured). New `en.json` keys and a pure filter helper covered by `tests/unit/free-provider-rankings-configured-filter.test.ts`. ([#6245](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6245), closes [#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150) — thanks @Iammilansoni)
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the test suite and CI can never mutate the OS trust store again — `OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1` (set by the global test setup and all CI workflows) makes `installCert`/`uninstallCert`/`installTproxyCa` skip the privileged OS dispatch while preserving the #4546 environment-skip contract. Root cause of the self-hosted runner incident: a cert-flow integration test installed a 105-byte fake PEM into `/usr/local/share/ca-certificates`, breaking ALL system TLS on the VM. Regression guard: `tests/unit/system-trust-test-guard.test.ts`. ([#6310](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6310))
+- **fix(security):** `/api/keys/{id}/devices` answers a clean method-first **405** for undocumented HTTP methods (e.g. the new `QUERY`) via a dedicated `http-method-guard` rule — the auth layer was answering 401 first, failing schemathesis's unsupported-methods check. Same pattern as the v3.8.44 TRACE fix. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dast-method-not-allowed.test.ts`.
+- **fix(combo):** the #6216 empty-stream failover is restricted to **truly empty bodies** (zero bytes — the Gemini HTTP-200-empty case), restoring the #3399/#3685 pass-through contracts for `[DONE]`-terminated empty streams and incomplete Claude lifecycles. New guard: `#5976 truly EMPTY streaming body → invalid for combo failover` (87/87 across both suites).
+- **fix(combo):** 5 streaming-path fixes — locked-stream 500, error-frame-only-if-no-content, Gemini `MALFORMED_RESPONSE`→content_filter failover, correlationId substring search, per-model-500 lockout skip + request-logger UI detail. Maintainer follow-up: `releaseQualityClone` cancels the abandoned quality-check tee branch (per-request memory) + regression test. ([#6216](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6216) — thanks @hartmark)
+- **fix(skills):** generate the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry (the #6186 catalog addition never ran the generator — 8 integration assertions split between old/new counts) and align the agent-skills catalog counts across integration + unit suites (43 = 23 API + 20 CLI; 44 with config).
+- **fix(a2a):** finish the #6186 catalog-count update — `listCapabilities` metadata reported `coverage.api.total: 22` (type literal + value) and `SkillCoverageSchema` pinned `z.literal(22)`, so the schema would REJECT the correct runtime value with 23 API skills. All three aligned to 23.
+- **fix(github-skills):** add a missing import, unit tests and a settings JSON-parse fix for the GitHub agent-skill discovery/import flow. ([#6186](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6186) — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/github-skills` validates its body with a Zod schema (`validateBody`) instead of blind `request.json()` destructuring — a non-array `targets` would crash `.map`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/github-skills-route-validation.test.ts`.
+- **fix(docker):** add `id=` to the BuildKit cache mounts so strict builders (e.g. buildkitd with strict frontend parsing) accept the Dockerfile. ([#6291](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6291) — thanks @karimalsalah)
+- **fix(oauth):** register `zed` in the OAuth `PROVIDERS` map (fixes "Unknown provider" on the Zed sign-in flow) ([#6078](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6078) — thanks @anki1kr), and align `zed` in `OAUTH_PROVIDER_IDS` + the config enum after the merge.
+- **fix(doubao-web):** switch the Doubao web provider to the Dola global endpoint. ([#6235](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6235) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(doctor):** resolve two false-positive WARNs in the doctor diagnostics ([#6163](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6163), closes [#6162](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6162) — thanks @arssnndr)
+- **fix(providers):** refresh the GitHub Copilot model catalog to the current upstream set. ([#6154](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6154) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(providers):** correct the Kiro model catalog to real upstream ids — fabricated `claude-opus-4.7`/`claude-sonnet-4.6` entries removed, real `claude-sonnet-5`/`claude-sonnet-4.5`/`claude-haiku-4.5` kept. ([#6170](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6170))
+- **feat(sse):** surface Kiro adaptive-thinking reasoning frames as `reasoning_content` in the OpenAI-shaped stream. ([#6213](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6213) — thanks @VXNCXNX)
+- **fix(cli):** use `OMNIROUTE_SERVER_HOST` instead of the POSIX auto-set `HOSTNAME` for the bind address (fixes wrong bind on POSIX shells that export HOSTNAME). ([#6195](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6195), closes [#6194](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6194) — thanks @Theadd)
+- **feat(provider):** add Claude 5 Sonnet to the Claude Web provider catalog. ([#6209](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6209), closes [#6200](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6200) — thanks @Iammilansoni)
+- **fix(providers):** add `nvidia` to `PROVIDER_TOOL_LIMITS` (1536) to prevent silent tool-list truncation. ([#6177](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6177) — thanks @LuisAlejandroVega)
+- **fix(translator):** strip the `reasoning` param for nvidia `z-ai/glm-5.2` (upstream 400s on it). ([#6181](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6181) — thanks @kanztu)
+- **fix(dashboard):** providers page gains a data-timeout guard and the live-WS standalone wiring (no more indefinite spinner when the data fetch stalls). ([#6211](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6211))
+- **fix(sse):** surface the ChatGPT-web image silent-drop as an accurate error instead of an empty success. ([#6208](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6208))
+- **fix(cline):** force upstream streaming for Cline/ClinePass (streaming-only API) — non-stream client requests are served from the buffered SSE. ([#6165](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6165))
+- **fix(dashboard):** remove the always-on Auto-Routing (combo) banner from the home page — it did not reflect live routing state and reappeared on every fresh browser. Replacement guard: `tests/unit/home-no-autorouting-banner.test.ts`. ([#6164](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6164))
+- **fix(dashboard):** stop a model-test error from freezing the page (React #31 object-as-child toast) — errors go through `extractApiErrorMessage`. ([#6161](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6161))
+- **fix(oauth):** extract the keychain-import-only guard to its own module, restoring the oauth file-size freeze. ([#6158](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6158))
+
+- **fix(sse):** strip zero-width markers from streamed **tool-call arguments** — a follow-up to [#5857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5857). That PR removed injected zero-width joiners (U+200D) from streamed assistant text/reasoning but deliberately left tool-call argument JSON byte-exact. The request-side obfuscation (`open-sse/services/claudeCodeObfuscation.ts`) injects ZWJ into agent words — including the temp path inside the Bash tool description — and Claude models copy that verbatim into generated commands, which are delivered as tool-call arguments rather than assistant text. As a result the ZWJ survived and corrupted code blocks (e.g. a temp path rendered with an invisible joiner). Now `open-sse/handlers/responseSanitizer.ts` strips zero-width code points from tool-call argument strings at every emit site (OpenAI non-stream/stream chat `tool_calls` + legacy `function_call`, native Responses `function_call` items, the OpenAI→Responses conversion, and the native Responses streaming `response.function_call_arguments.delta/.done` events). Only zero-width code points are removed; JSON structure and all other bytes stay identical (no parse/restringify), so normal arguments remain byte-exact. Regression guard: 6 new cases in `tests/unit/response-sanitizer.test.ts` (suite 50/50).
+
+- **fix(nodejs):** the default app log path now resolves under `DATA_DIR` (`~/.omniroute/logs/application/app.log`) instead of `process.cwd()` ([#6197](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6197)) — the globally-installed CLI runs from an arbitrary working directory, so anchoring the default to cwd made file logging silently write to (or no-op under) an unrelated directory, contradicting the documented `.env.example` default. `getAppLogFilePath()` now computes the default lazily via the pure `resolveDataDir()` resolver (honours a per-process `DATA_DIR`, no directory-creation side effect); an explicit `APP_LOG_FILE_PATH` still wins. Regression guard: `tests/unit/logenv-datadir-path-6197.test.ts` (3). (root cause independently diagnosed by @subhansh-dev in [#6298](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6298) — thanks!)
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge/`startMitm` no longer aborts in containers/headless when the Antigravity-default DNS step can't write `/etc/hosts` ([#6127](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6127)), and the privileged command's stderr now reaches `app.log` instead of only a bare exit code hitting the toast ([#6198](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6198)). The default DNS step (`addDNSEntry`) was called unguarded while cert install and the two sibling DNS steps were each best-effort — in the runtime Docker image (`USER node`, no `sudo`, read-only `/etc/hosts`) it threw `Command failed with code 1` out of `startMitmInternal` and killed the whole start, discarding the stderr. The three DNS steps are extracted into a best-effort `provisionDnsEntries()` where each failure is logged with the full `err` (stderr included, folded in by `systemCommands.ts`) and never aborts the start. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-dns-graceful-degrade-6127.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** copilot-m365-web now supports the M365 Education "Starter / OfficeWebIncludedCopilot" tier and no longer returns an empty `content:null` stream ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)). Two gaps: (1) `buildWsUrl()` hardcoded the individual-consumer scenario (`OfficeWebPaidConsumerCopilot`, `isEdu=false`) — the EDU tier is now opt-in via `providerSpecificData.tier="edu"`, emitting `scenario=OfficeWebIncludedCopilot`/`isEdu=true` (the individual path is unchanged); (2) the EDU/GPT-5.5 path streams deltas via `arguments[0].writeAtCursor` (incremental) instead of only `messages[].text` (accumulated snapshots), which the parser dropped — a new `accumulateBotContent()` folds both formats, with `type:2 item.result.message` as a last-resort fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-edu-writeatcursor-6210.test.ts` (10). (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo executor now feeds tool results back into the prompt instead of looping ([#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)) — `buildPrompt()` branched only on `system`/`user` and took `userParts.at(-1)`, silently dropping the `assistant{tool_calls}` + `tool{result}` turns the client appended, so the reconstructed prompt was byte-identical to turn 1 and the model re-emitted the same `<tool>` call forever. When a tool exchange is present the full conversation is now serialized, folding each tool result back keyed by its `tool_call_id`; simple conversations keep the legacy shape. Complements the tool_call emission from [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051) (the `kilo-duplicate` label was a false positive — different, sequential defect). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-result-feedback-6220.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** opencode-go/opencode-zen can now synthesize the OpenCode CLI identity headers Cloudflare requires on VPS egress ([#5997](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5997)) — on a datacenter VPS, `opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/chat/completions` 403s (HTML challenge) requests lacking CLI identity, while the reporter's control curl proved that `User-Agent: opencode-cli/1.0.0` + `x-opencode-client: cli` + `x-opencode-project: default` + fresh request/session UUIDs succeed. Opt-in via `OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS=true` (values overridable via `OPENCODE_GO_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_CLIENT`/`OPENCODE_PROJECT`); it fills only headers the client did not already send. Kept **off by default** — the forward-only path is deliberate (fabricating a wrong value risks upstream rejection; a prior dedup regressed with `opencode/local`), so this replaces the fragile local header-injection shim without changing default behavior. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-cli-headers-synthesis-5997.test.ts` (6). (thanks @aleksesipenko)
+- fix(resilience): sticky session affinity now evicts and fails over to another account when the pinned account is exhausted/unavailable (#6219)
+
+- fix(sse): Responses API passthrough now drops internal commentary-phase output before forwarding to clients (gated by RESPONSES_PASSTHROUGH_DROP_COMMENTARY, default on) (#6199)
+
+- **fix(proxy):** stop the v3.8.44 proxy regression that leaked the real IP and disabled healthy proxies ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Two coupled defects from the new health scheduler: (1) **IP leak** — when a proxy assigned to a connection was marked `inactive`, resolution fell through to a **direct** egress instead of blocking, exposing the operator's real IP; (2) **over-deactivation** — the sweep flipped a proxy to `inactive` on the **first** failed probe and counted our own 5s timeout / a probe-target `5xx` as the proxy's fault, so healthy paid proxies vanished from egress selection ("my proxies are not being used anymore"). Fix: the sweep decision is extracted into a pure, network-free `decideProxyHealthAction` (`src/lib/proxyHealth/decision.ts`) — by default the health check now **only counts/logs and never downgrades status** (a proxy is downgraded/removed only with `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE=true`, after `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE_AFTER` **consecutive** conclusive failures); probes are classified tri-state so an inconclusive result (our timeout, or a `5xx` from the probe target) never penalizes the proxy, and the probe timeout is raised 5s→15s. Separately, `safeResolveProxy` now **fails closed** via the existing policy: a connection whose assigned proxy is dead is blocked instead of leaking direct (`hasBlockingProxyAssignment`), honoring the explicit `proxy off` toggles and the `PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true` opt-out. Existing proxies stuck `inactive` by the old behavior need a one-time manual re-activate (the operator owns proxy status). Regression guards: `tests/unit/proxy-health-decide-action-6246.test.ts`, `tests/unit/proxy-assigned-unavailable-6246.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(proxy):** make "Test All" read-only and add bulk enable/disable ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Complements the core fail-closed / scheduler fix (#6296) with the two remaining reporter asks. (1) The **"Test All" button** (`POST /api/settings/proxies/auto-test`) used to flip a proxy to `inactive` on a failed reachability probe; since the egress selector excludes `inactive` proxies, a flaky probe (an unreachable `httpbin.org`, a proxy that blocks `HEAD`, or a slow paid proxy) silently disabled every proxy that failed — "Test All" is now **read-only by default** (only the operator sets a proxy active/inactive; opt back into the legacy test-and-set with `PROXY_HEALTH_AUTO_DEACTIVATE=true`). (2) Adds a **bulk enable/disable** proxies endpoint + toolbar action (`POST /api/settings/proxies/batch-activate`) so an operator can re-activate proxies in one click. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-health-6246.test.ts`. (thanks @tenshiak)
+
+- **chatcore (tools): stop the default 128-tool cap from silently dropping opencode's `task`/MCP tools.** opencode (used as an MCP/agent host) sends a large tool list; when it exceeds the speculative `MAX_TOOLS_LIMIT` (128) default, `truncateToolList` did a blind `tools.slice(0, 128)`, dropping every tool past index 128 — including opencode's built-in `task` tool (subagent launch) and many MCP tools, so models routed through OmniRoute could no longer spawn subagents or reach part of their tools. The cap exists to avoid upstream `400`s for providers with real hard limits (e.g. grok-cli 200), so it is kept for those: detection of the opencode client (`isOpencodeClient` — any `x-opencode-*` header, or `opencode` in the user-agent) now only bypasses the **speculative 128 default**, never a known provider ceiling. Precedence is explicit — a proactive/detected provider limit always truncates (even for opencode); otherwise opencode forwards its full tool list; otherwise the unchanged 128 default applies to every other client. Refactors `getEffectiveToolLimit` into `getKnownToolLimit(provider) ?? DEFAULT_LIMIT` (byte-identical for existing callers) and fixes a cosmetic debug-log that reported the truncated count instead of the original. Regression guard: `tests/unit/tool-limit-detector.test.ts`. ([#6193](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6193) — thanks @DKotsyuba)
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the macOS MITM-cert install check now matches the system keychain again. `security find-certificate -a -Z` prints the SHA-1 as a colon-less hex string, but the installed-check compared it against `getCertFingerprint()`'s colon-separated form, so the substring match never hit — the cert was reported as not-installed and re-prompted for the sudo install on every run. Fingerprints are now normalized (colons stripped, upper-cased) on both sides via the extracted `macCertOutputHasFingerprint` helper. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-cert-mac-fingerprint.test.ts`. ([#6204](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6204), closes [#6134](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6134) — thanks @rianonehub)
+
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/messages/count_tokens` now counts `tool_use`, `tool_result` and `thinking` content blocks (and array-form `system` prompts) in the local-estimation path, instead of only `text`. Real agentic conversations keep ~95% of their tokens inside tool results; the previous estimate returned near-zero for them, which silently broke Claude Code's auto-compaction (context grew past the window with no compaction until the upstream API rejected the request). The real provider-side count path is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/messages-count-tokens-route.test.ts`. ([#6221](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6221) — thanks @luweiCN)
+
+- **fix(antigravity):** strip a trailing assistant prefill turn for Vertex Claude models to avoid upstream 400s ([#6114](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6114)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-claude-prefill-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(security):** the mutable cloud-agent routes (`/api/cloud/credentials/update`, `/api/cloud/models/alias`) now require management auth instead of being treated as public. They were classified as public API routes, so a request without management credentials could update stored cloud-agent credentials and model aliases. They are removed from the public-route set, classified as management routes in the authz pipeline, and gated by `requireManagementAuth`; cloud **read**/auth routes stay public. Regression guards: `tests/unit/cloud-write-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts`, `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6233](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6233) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+
+- **refactor(dashboard):** extract the onboarding-wizard "Open provider details" link target into a pure, unit-tested `buildProviderDetailsHref(connection)` helper. The wizard already routes by `connection.id` (the node UUID) rather than the provider category slug (#6144/#6145); this hardens that behavior behind a tested helper that guards a missing id/connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-onboarding-href.test.ts`. ([#6166](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6166) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(api):** relay worker now binds the SSRF guard to a stable `const` name so minified standalone (Docker) builds resolve it ([#6149](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6149)) — the Vercel/Deno relay generators embedded the shared `resolveRelayTarget` guard as a bare `${fn.toString()}` declaration while the worker body called the hardcoded literal name; SWC minification mangled the source function's name, so the deployed worker defined `<mangled>` but still called `resolveRelayTarget` → `ReferenceError`. Both templates now emit `const resolveRelayTarget = ${fn.toString()};` (the const name is a template literal, immune to minification). Regression guard: `tests/unit/relay-minified-fn-6149.test.ts` (4). (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **fix(providers):** refresh the stale NVIDIA NIM model registry — drop EOL `z-ai/glm-5.1`, add `z-ai/glm-5.2` and `nvidia/nemotron-3-ultra-550b-a55b` ([#6108](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6108)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-nim-registry-6108.test.ts`. (thanks @andrea-kingautomation)
+- **fix(backend):** GPT-family (codex) models now report a distinct `max_input_tokens` (272000) below their 400K `context_length` via an optional `maxInputTokens` on `RegistryModel`, so coding agents auto-compact correctly instead of overflowing the real input cap ([#6191](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6191)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gpt-max-input-tokens-6191.test.ts`. (thanks @luweiCN)
+- **fix(backend):** call logs now record a **reasoning source/char-count** (migration 116, `reasoning_source`/`reasoning_chars`) for models that emit `reasoning_content`/`<think>` but report zero reasoning tokens in usage, so `tokens_reasoning` no longer silently under-represents reasoning — cost math is unchanged (the priced `tokens_reasoning` stays usage-derived) ([#6187](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6187)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/reasoning-token-source-6187.test.ts`. (thanks @andrea-kingautomation)
+- **fix(auth):** a stale/changed `STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY` now surfaces as a clear **424 `storage_encryption_stale`** ("re-enter the API key") instead of a misleading "Auth failed: 401" — the connection's ciphertext failed to decrypt and was coerced to an empty Bearer, hiding the real cause ([#6148](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6148)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/decrypt-stale-key-hint-6148.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(backend):** memory injection now keeps the injected system message **first** for providers that require it (via a `PROVIDERS_SYSTEM_MUST_BE_FIRST` capability), instead of the cache-safe mid-array splice that made strict providers reject the request with a 400 ([#6135](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6135)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/memory-system-first-6135.test.ts`.
+- **fix(services):** 9Router embed panel no longer 404s (optional catch-all route) and the supervisor probes the port before spawning to avoid raw EADDRINUSE ([#6205](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6205)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/ninerouter-embed-port-6205.test.ts`, `tests/unit/services/ServiceSupervisor.test.ts`. (thanks @jonlwheat2-gif)
+- fix(mcp): forward the MCP request `extra` context through static tool loops so stdio callers keep their scope/identity ([#6178](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6178))
+
+### ⚡ Performance & Infrastructure
+
+- **perf(test):** test-suite loader quick wins ([#6214](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6214)) — the 19 test scripts switch `--import tsx` → `--import tsx/esm` (the repo is pure ESM; the unused CJS hook cost ~1.3s per test process × 2,462 processes — CI fast-path unit shards dropped 14.8→7.5 min, −49%), tsx bumped to ^4.23.0 (tsx#809 startup-regression fix), **37 orphan `.test.mjs` files (224 cases) recovered** into the canonical glob (they matched no runner and never ran in any CI job; `check:test-discovery` now scans `.mjs` too), and ci.yml/quality.yml unit jobs now call the canonical npm script `test:unit:ci:shard` (single source of truth — closes two silent drifts: missing `setupPolyfill` import in CI and `memory/`+`usage/` dirs absent from the fast-path glob). `tests/unit/dashboard/**` keeps the full tsx hook in its own invocation (`@lobehub/icons` es/ build internally `require()`s ESM-syntax files).
+- **ci:** heavy-pipeline dedup ([#6215](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6215)) — the release-PR pipeline ran the unit suite 4× per sync (95 jobs, 208 machine-min; the v3.8.44 cycle fired 123 such runs, 88 cancelled). Now: Node 24/26 compat matrices move to a daily `nightly-compat.yml` (−28%/run; resolves the active release branch, opens a tracking issue on failure), coverage is collected inside the unit shards themselves via c8/`NODE_V8_COVERAGE` (−18%/run; the Coverage Shard ×8 matrix is gone — nodejs/node's own CI pattern), the ~40-job per-language i18n matrix becomes 1 job (the account has 20 concurrent-job slots total), and heavy jobs skip **draft** PRs — paired with `/generate-release` now opening the living release PR as draft (flipped ready at the new Phase 0a.0a), killing the per-merge churn for the whole cycle. Validated by a full `workflow_dispatch` of the new pipeline: 35 jobs, 0 failures, 23 min, merged coverage 80.16% (> ratchet baseline).
+- **feat(quality):** no-new-warnings per PR ([#6218](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6218)) — native ESLint bulk suppressions (≥9.24) freeze the pre-existing debt (476 files / 4,273 violations in `config/quality/eslint-suppressions.json`); `npm run lint`, lint-staged (pre-commit) and a new fork-aware `lint-guard` job in quality.yml all run suppressions-aware, so a NEW warning goes red in the PR that introduces it instead of accruing invisibly (+41/+88 per cycle) and being blind-rebaselined at release. 3 warn rules promoted to error in `src/**` (`react-hooks/exhaustive-deps`, `@next/next/no-img-element`, `import/no-anonymous-default-export`); `collect-metrics` measures under the frozen baseline (ratchet metric = net-NEW debt; baseline tightened 4,279→0 in-PR per require-tighten); fork PRs run report-only (contributors are never blocked — the maintainer campaigns fix via co-authorship). Baseline stock shrinks via `--prune-suppressions` at release reconciliation.
+- **ci:** test jobs no longer wait on the Build gate ([#6275](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6275)) — `test-unit`×8, `vitest`, `integration`×2 and `security` declared `needs: build` but never download the `next-build` artifact; they now start at minute 0 (`needs: changes`, same `if` as Build), cutting ~15–20 min of wall-clock per heavy run. `e2e`/`package-artifact`/`electron-smoke` keep `needs: build` (they consume the artifact for real).
+- **ci(build):** the ci.yml Build job compiles Next.js with **Turbopack** (`OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=1`) ([#6273](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6273)) — Build job 20 min → **6 min 59 s (~2.9×)** on ubuntu-latest; the webpack `actions/cache` step is removed. Validated end-to-end pre-merge via `gh workflow run ci.yml --ref <branch>`.
+- **feat(build):** **Turbopack becomes the default bundler** for `next build` and `next dev` ([#6283](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6283)) — `build-next-isolated.mjs`, `run-next.mjs` and the playwright-runner default to Turbopack; `OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=0` is the explicit webpack escape hatch. `nightly-compat.yml`/`npm-publish.yml` inherit the default. Regression guard: `tests/unit/build-bundler-default-turbopack.test.ts`.
+- **feat(docker):** the Docker image builds with Turbopack (`ENV OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=1`) ([#6285](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6285)) — the v3.8.27 ImportTracer panic ("unreachable: there must be a path to a root") does **not** reproduce on Next 16.2.9: amd64 (659 s) and arm64 (qemu) build clean, 0 panics, smoke health 200.
+- **ci:** opt-in **self-hosted VPS runners for the release window** ([#6284](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6284)) — `scripts/vps/release-runner-up.sh`/`down.sh` manage the runner VM, and `build`/`test-unit`/`vitest` pick a dynamic `runs-on` gated by `vars.USE_VPS_RUNNER == 'true'` **and** own-origin (fork PRs never reach self-hosted runners). Wired into `/generate-release` (VM up at Phase 1, mandatory down at Phase 3).
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **quality(release-green):** full pre-flight hardening for this release — the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors typed/fixed and `validate-release-green` made suppressions-aware with per-gate logs (`_artifacts/release-green/`) and a `--hermetic` mode; test-masking allowlist entries for the cycle's verified-legitimate assert reductions; stale ESLint suppressions pruned (4,273 → 4,233); the 7 net-new `as any` casts from #6292 typed; `githubSkillTools` MCP errors routed through `sanitizeErrorMessage()`; `combo-provider-cooldown-sibling` added to the Stryker tap set; executors/env docs count fixes.
+- **ci(quality):** merge-integrity fast-gates per PR — `check:changelog-integrity` (no base CHANGELOG bullet may vanish in the merge result — the auto-resolve "CHANGELOG-eat" pattern) and `check:agent-skills-sync` (generated SKILL.md ≡ catalog), blocking for own-origin branches and report-only for forks (Princípio Zero). ([#6300](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6300))
+- **ci(vps):** hermetic `nightly-release-green` pre-flight on the dedicated `omni-release` self-hosted runner (dynamic `runs-on`, clean env); e2e/integration/electron stay on hosted runners (per-VM port collision + concurrent artifact-download limits documented in the PR). ([#6305](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6305))
+- **chore(quality):** v3.8.45 cycle-close drift rebaselines — file-size (13 files grown by merged cycle PRs), cognitive 867→877, cyclomatic 2028→2035, kiro-translator test debt from #6213; all with dated justification keys.
+- **docs(architecture):** sync stale DB-layer counts (45+/55 → 95+/110+) in REPOSITORY_MAP, the db-schema diagram and llm.txt (+42 i18n mirrors). ([#6167](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6167))
+- **chore(release):** parallel-cycle flow — `sync-next-cycle.mjs` + Hard Rule #21 semantics ([#6203](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6203)); v3.8.45 development cycle opened.
+- **i18n(it):** add 118 missing Italian (`it`) translations (net-additive — no existing keys dropped, valid JSON), improving Italian UI coverage. ([#6212](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6212) — thanks @serverless83)
+- **chore(providers):** remove deprecated **MiMo V2** model entries from the catalogs (xiaomi-mimo, opencode-go, zenmux-free, audio TTS) — the upstream V2 line is superseded by MiMo V2.5; drops `mimo-v2-tts`, `mimo-v2-pro`, `mimo-v2-omni`, `mimo-v2-flash`, `mimo-v2-flash-free` and realigns the provider-catalog tests. ([#6248](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6248) — thanks @backryun)

+## [3.8.44] — TBD
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(resilience):** throttle upstream quota fetches on the per-request preflight path ([#6009](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6009)) — a new global min-interval gate (`open-sse/services/quotaFetchThrottle.ts`) spaces the actual network calls made by the Codex quota fetcher so that many accounts on one IP no longer fetch quota in the same second (which, per `router-for-me/CLIProxyAPI#2385`, can get a Codex OAuth token revoked). Complements the existing bulk-sync spacing (`PROVIDER_LIMITS_SYNC_SPACING_MS`) which already serialized the periodic provider-limits sync — this covers the concurrent combo/preflight path it didn't. Cache hits are never delayed; fail-open (only ever awaits a timer). Configurable via `OMNIROUTE_QUOTA_FETCH_MIN_INTERVAL_MS` (default 250ms, clamped 0..5000; `0` disables). Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-fetch-throttle-6009.test.ts` (5). (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(autoCombo):** add **per-request Auto-Combo controls** via two headers ([#6024](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6024) / [#6025](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6025) / [#6023](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6023)) — `X-OmniRoute-Mode` steers an `auto` combo's scoring for a single request (friendly presets `fast`/`balanced`/`quality`/`cheap`/`reliable`/`offline` **or** a raw mode-pack name; `balanced` forces the default weights), and `X-OmniRoute-Budget` sets a hard per-request USD cost ceiling. Both override the combo's stored config only for the request that carries them; unknown/garbage values are ignored so the saved config is preserved. The resolvers are pure (`open-sse/services/autoCombo/requestControls.ts`) and feed the engine's existing `config.modePack` / `config.budgetCap` inputs — no engine changes. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auto-combo-request-controls-6024.test.ts` (5). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add the **Kenari** OpenAI-compatible gateway (BYOK). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kenari.test.ts`. (thanks @doedja)
+- **feat(models):** add `claude-sonnet-5` to the Antigravity model catalog (alias mapping in `antigravityModelAliases.ts`) ([#6103](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6103)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-model-aliases.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+- **feat(api):** add `/v1/ocr` endpoint (Mistral OCR), an OCR provider category, and Mistral moderation support. ([#5950](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5950)) (thanks @waguriagentic)
+- **Discovery tool (Phase 2):** add the `discoveryResults` DB module (CRUD over the `discovery_results` table, migration 074) and wire the opt-in provider-discovery service to persist and read findings through it (`persistDiscoveryResult`, `getDiscoveryResults`, `getDiscoveryResultById`, `markVerified`, `deleteDiscoveryResult`) with `(provider, method, endpoint)` upsert de-duplication. Adds the `/api/discovery/*` HTTP surface — `GET /results`, `GET|DELETE /results/:id`, `POST /scan`, `POST /verify/:id` — under **strict loopback-only** authorization (`/api/discovery/` is in `LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` and is NOT manage-scope-bypassable, so the `scan` route's outbound probes can never be reached from a tunnel/remote origin). Adds a **dashboard UI tab** (Tools → Discovery, `/dashboard/discovery`) to run scans and review, verify, or delete findings. The service stays **opt-in / default-off**. ([#5939](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5939))
+- **feat(api):** expose a read-only provider plugin manifest at `GET /api/v1/provider-plugin-manifest` for sidecar/relay discovery. ([#6001](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6001)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(sidecar):** advertise the provider manifest URL to Bifrost/CLIProxyAPI via the `X-OmniRoute-Provider-Manifest-Url` header (`OMNIROUTE_PROVIDER_MANIFEST_URL`). ([#6007](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6007)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(autoCombo):** add a latency/speed-optimized routing mode (shared `rankBySpeed` scoring core) plus the `omniroute_pick_fastest_model` MCP tool. ([#6011](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6011)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(providers):** refresh The Old LLM (Free) model catalog ([#5181](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5181)) — seed the current free `/api/chatgpt` tier (GPT-5/5.1/5.2/5.3/5.4, o3/o4-mini, Gemini 3 Pro / 2.5 Pro / 2.0 Flash / 1.5 Flash, Claude 4.6 Opus/Sonnet & 4.5 Haiku, GPT-4o, Grok 4, DeepSeek V3/R1, Sonar Pro) while keeping the legacy alias IDs for saved-preference compatibility. Also fixes a latent routing bug: `mapModel()` now passes known upstream IDs through unchanged, so Gemini/o-series/Grok/DeepSeek/Sonar models no longer silently collapse onto `GPT_5_4`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/theoldllm-model-refresh-5181.test.ts`. (thanks @WslzGmzs)
+- **feat(resilience):** surface Codex **banked reset credits** per connected account ([#5199](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5199)) — the Codex quota parsers (`buildCodexUsageQuotas`, `parseCodexUsageResponse`) now additively read `rate_limit_reset_credits.available_count` (+ optional `rate_limit_reached_type`) from the `/wham/usage` payload OmniRoute already fetches, and the provider-limits dashboard renders a **"Banked Reset Credits"** row when a positive count is present. Display-only and **fail-open** — the field is eligibility-gated, so accounts without it are unaffected (parsers never throw on absent/garbage shapes); redemption (an unofficial mutating endpoint) is intentionally out of scope. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-banked-reset-credits-5199.test.ts` (8). (thanks @ofekbetzalel)
+- **feat(providers):** add sign-up geo-restriction notices for **SenseNova** and **StepFun** ([#5462](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5462)) — the provider add-form now warns that SenseNova's console appears to require a Chinese (+86) phone number with no documented international path, and that StepFun's default endpoint is its China platform while a global StepFun Open Platform (`platform.stepfun.ai`, operated by Sparkling AI Pte. Ltd., Singapore) with email/Google/Discord login exists for international users. Informational `notice` only — neither provider is disabled. Regression guard: `tests/unit/regional-provider-cn-notices-5462.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(usage):** add on-demand period-scoped usage-data reset (Settings → System Storage) with a purge API and time-window selector. ([#5831](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5831))
+- **feat(claude-code):** add an opt-in auto-permission classifier compat mode (off/auto/always) for Claude Code, toggleable from the CLI Code settings. ([#5810](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5810))
+- **feat(providers):** add optional client-identity header profiles for compatible nodes — preset User-Agent/fingerprint headers (e.g. matching a known CLI) merged into the existing customHeaders field. ([#5812](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5812))
+- **feat(build):** add a backend-only fast build mode (`scripts/build/build-next-isolated.mjs` + `backendOnlyPages.mjs`) that skips compiling the dashboard frontend pages, cutting local/CI build time for backend-only changes. ([#6119](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6119) — thanks @artickc)
+- **feat(minimax):** extract MiniMax M3's raw `<think>...</think>` leakage into `reasoning_content` on the 8 OpenAI-format provider tiers, leaving the Claude-format `minimax`/`minimax-cn` tiers untouched (they already report reasoning correctly). ([#6073](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6073) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(services):** promote **Bifrost** (`@maximhq/bifrost` — Go AI-gateway) from an env-only relay sidecar to a first-class embedded/supervised service, matching the existing cliproxy/9router model — installer, bootstrap `SERVICES[]` entry, migration 113 DB seed, 7 lifecycle API routes under `/api/services/bifrost/` (loopback-only), a dashboard tab, and relay auto-wiring that defaults `BIFROST_BASE_URL` to the supervised port when running. Implements item #2 of #5670; the broader RouterBackend contract (items #1, #3-#5) stays out of scope. ([#5817](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5817), part of [#5670](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5670))
+- **feat(services):** add **Mux** (`coder/mux` — local agent-orchestration daemon) as a fourth-tier embedded service on the existing `ServiceSupervisor` framework — npm-based installer, `bootstrap.ts` registration, migration 113 DB seed, 7 lifecycle API routes under `/api/services/mux/` (loopback-only, defense-in-depth bind to 127.0.0.1), and a dashboard tab reusing the shared service-management components. ([#6034](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6034))
+- **feat(xai):** surface Grok/xAI usage on the quota dashboard via local `usageHistory` aggregation (`getXaiUsage`) — since xAI exposes no per-account quota API, this sums tokens routed to the connection from `usage_history` and reports them as a cumulative, uncapped quota, mirroring the existing Xiaomi MiMo self-track pattern. ([#5806](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5806))
+- **feat(minimax):** extract MiniMax M3's raw `<think>...</think>` tags into a separate `reasoning_content` field on the 8 provider tiers that register M3 with `format:"openai"` (trae, huggingchat, bazaarlink, ollama-cloud, opencode, cline, opencode-zen, codebuddy-cn) — previously the thinking text leaked directly into `content`. Reuses the existing `extractThinkingFromContent` primitive, extending its allowlist with a minimax-m3-only pattern; the two direct minimax/minimax-cn tiers are untouched since they already surface reasoning natively over Anthropic's Messages format. (Inspired by 9router#2231.) ([#6050](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6050) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(i18n):** auto-detect the browser language on first visit — a pure `detectBrowserLocale()` matcher (exact match, `zh-HK`/`zh-MO` folded to `zh-TW`, language-prefix match, else `null`) plus a client-only `LocaleAutoDetect` component mounted once in the root layout. When no locale cookie is set yet, it reads `navigator.languages`, computes a match against the supported locales, and persists it via the same cookie/localStorage writer `LanguageSelector` already used (extracted to `shared/lib/persistLocale.ts`). (Inspired by 9router#1324.) ([#5979](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5979))
+- **feat(cli-tools):** add **CodeWhale** — the actively-maintained successor to DeepSeek TUI (same author, renamed project) — as a dual dashboard entry alongside the existing "deepseek-tui" catalog entry, so existing DeepSeek TUI users keep a working card while new users are steered to CodeWhale. New `/api/cli-tools/codewhale-settings` route writes `~/.codewhale/config.toml` and keeps the legacy `~/.deepseek/config.toml` in sync. (Inspired by 9router#1761.) ([#5996](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5996))
+- **feat(server):** support reverse-proxy `basePath` deployment via a new opt-in `OMNIROUTE_BASE_PATH` env var (empty by default), using Next.js's native `basePath` support so a deployment behind a reverse-proxy subpath (e.g. `https://host/omniroute/`) works without manual header stripping; the two hardcoded auth-redirect targets in `src/server/authz/pipeline.ts` now prefix with `request.nextUrl.basePath`. Default empty basePath is a no-op for existing root-path deployments. (Inspired by 9router#1810.) ([#5992](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5992))
+- **feat(providers):** add **SumoPod** (`ai.sumopod.com`) and **X5Lab** (`api.x5lab.dev`) OpenAI-compatible BYOK aggregator gateways, wired via the default executor with bearer API-key auth; both use `passthroughModels` with a live `/v1/models` fetcher instead of a hardcoded catalog. Regression guard: `tests/unit/sumopod-x5lab-provider.test.ts`. (Inspired by 9router#1288.) ([#5963](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5963))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Charm Hyper** (`hyper.charm.land`) as a new OpenAI-compatible, bearer-auth API-key gateway provider with a free tier (100 monthly Hypercredits); models resolve via passthrough (`modelsUrl` + live `/v1/models`) since the catalog isn't publicly documented. (Inspired by 9router#2006.) ([#5961](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5961))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Nube.sh** (`ai.nube.sh`) as a new BYOK OpenAI-compatible gateway (LiteLLM proxy), Bearer/API-key auth. Its live model catalog is only reachable with a valid key, so no model IDs are hardcoded — it uses `passthroughModels` + `modelsUrl` for live enumeration. (Inspired by 9router#2294.) ([#5936](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5936) — thanks @whale9820)
+- **feat(providers):** add **b.ai** (`api.b.ai`) as a new OpenAI-compatible BYOK provider, distinct from the existing thebai/theb.ai provider, using passthrough model discovery with no hardcoded model list. (Inspired by 9router#963.) ([#5969](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5969))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Qiniu** (七牛云) AI inference gateway as a BYOK API-key provider — proxies many upstream models (DeepSeek V3/V4, Claude, Kimi, and more) behind a single key, shipping with an empty static seed and relying on `passthroughModels` + the live `/v1/models` catalog instead of a stale hardcoded model id. Regression guard: `tests/unit/qiniu-provider.test.ts`. (Inspired by 9router#911.) ([#5966](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5966))
+- **feat(providers):** port **ModelScope** (Alibaba 魔搭) as a new API-key, OpenAI-compatible provider — verified against ModelScope's own docs that the real production domain is `api-inference.modelscope.cn` (`.cn`, not the upstream PR's `.ai`) and shipped `passthroughModels: true` with an empty seed + `modelsUrl` instead of the upstream PR's static 5-model snapshot, since the open-model catalog moves fast. (Ported from 9router#1764.) ([#5965](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5965) — thanks @tn5052)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Augment (Auggie CLI)** as a new local, no-auth provider that spawns the user's local `auggie` CLI and pipes a flattened prompt via stdin, wrapping stdout as an OpenAI-compatible SSE stream or single JSON body. Auth is delegated to `auggie login` outside OmniRoute (synthetic `noAuth: true` connection, no DB row required); "Test Connection" spawns `auggie --version`. Hardened against the untrusted-input spawn sink: no `shell: true` on Windows (argv passed straight to the OS loader, no metacharacter interpretation), and `model` is validated against the registry allowlist before spawn (rejecting unknown or `-`-prefixed values) with a trailing `--` end-of-options marker. (Inspired by 9router#1200.) ([#5972](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5972) — thanks @chamdanilukman)
+- **feat(providers):** add **NVIDIA NIM image generation** — a dedicated `nvidia-nim` image format/handler (separate host, `ai.api.nvidia.com/v1/genai/<model>`, native NIM body shape) for the 4 FLUX models (flux.1-dev, flux.1-schnell, flux.1-kontext-dev, flux.2-klein-4b), shaping each model's per-model request body (dimension/mode validation, required input image + aspect ratio, optional edit image) and normalizing the NIM response's varying shapes into the OpenAI `{created, data}` shape. (Inspired by 9router#1195.) ([#5971](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5971))
+- **feat(oauth):** import a Codex connection from a raw ChatGPT access token — OmniRoute's only Codex import path previously required both `access_token` and `refresh_token`, leaving no path for a user with only a bare ChatGPT website access token. `createProviderConnection` gains an explicit `access_token` auth-type branch (intentionally never deduped), a new `POST /api/oauth/codex/import-token` route (Zod-validated), and `OAuthModal`'s manual-paste path now detects an `eyJ`-prefixed pasted token and posts it to the new endpoint, mirroring the existing grok-cli raw-token flow. The executor's `refreshCredentials()` already degrades safely to `null` without a refresh token, forcing re-auth on expiry. (Inspired by 9router#1290.) ([#5995](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5995) — thanks @ryanngit)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add a tool-source diagnostics settings toggle — a new Settings → Advanced card lets operators flip the existing `logToolSources` flag from the UI instead of editing the DB row directly; `logToolSources` is added to the `.strict()` `/api/settings` Zod PATCH schema (previously rejected). (Inspired by 9router#1825.) ([#5978](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5978) — thanks @DuyPrX)
+- **feat(dashboard):** collapse and sort provider quota rows by remaining percentage — the expanded quota list is sorted highest-remaining-first and collapsed to the first 3 rows by default, with a "Show N more"/"Show less" toggle when a connection reports more than 3 quotas, keeping at-risk quotas visible above a long list of healthy ones. Sort/slice logic extracted into pure, directly-unit-tested helpers (`sortQuotasByRemaining`, `getVisibleQuotas`). (Inspired by 9router#1919.) ([#5977](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5977))
+- **feat(dashboard):** suggest HuggingFace Hub media models — a new `GET /api/v1/providers/suggested-models` route proxies the public HF Hub models search API (Zod-validated, no token exposed client-side) and `ImageExampleCard` merges the results into the model picker as a selectable chip row for the huggingface provider; also adds a dedicated `huggingface-image` format/handler for HF's raw-image-bytes response. (Inspired by 9router#1633.) ([#5990](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5990))
+- **feat(cli-tools):** add a **Crush** entry to the dashboard CLI-Tools catalog plus a new `/api/cli-tools/crush-settings` route (GET/POST/DELETE) — OmniRoute already shipped a `crush` CLI setup command (`bin/cli/commands/setup-crush.mjs`) but the dashboard catalog had no matching entry; the new route writes to the same canonical `~/.config/crush/crush.json` path so the dashboard and CLI command agree. (Inspired by 9router#1233.) ([#5970](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5970))
+- **feat(providers):** extend Vercel AI Gateway (`vercel-ai-gateway`/`vag`) beyond chat-only to support **embeddings and image generation** — the gateway's OpenAI-compatible `/v1` API also exposes `/embeddings` and `/images/generations`, so entries were added to `EMBEDDING_PROVIDERS` (`embeddingRegistry.ts`) and `IMAGE_PROVIDERS` (`imageRegistry.ts`) modeled on the existing `openai` entries. ([#5968](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5968) — thanks @tantai-newnol)
+- **feat(api-keys):** add per-key **device/connection tracking** — a SHA-256 fingerprint of IP + User-Agent, with a 30-minute TTL and per-key/global caps, tracks distinct client devices seen with each API key (in-memory only, raw IP never stored). A new `GET /api/keys/[id]/devices` route exposes masked device details, and the API Keys dashboard tab gets a "Devices" count badge alongside the existing Sessions badge. This is a new granularity distinct from the existing `maxSessions` cap, which limits concurrent sticky-routing sessions rather than tracking device identity. ([#5998](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5998) — thanks @mugni-rukita)
+- **feat(proxy):** add **Webshare** (`proxy.webshare.io`) as a fourth source in the free-proxy provider framework alongside 1proxy, Proxifly, and IPLocate. `WebshareProvider` paginates the account's `/api/v2/proxy/list/` endpoint, upserts proxies into the shared `free_proxies` table, and tombstones proxies the account no longer lists while never touching rows already promoted into the live proxy pool. Unlike the other sources, Webshare is a paid per-account list, gated on `FREE_PROXY_WEBSHARE_API_KEY`. ([#5993](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5993) — thanks @ricatix)
+- **feat(antigravity):** support custom **Google Cloud project ID** settings from the connection edit modal (Antigravity family). ([#5905](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5905) — thanks @nickwizard)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add a **wildcard-CORS runtime warning** banner (Settings → Authorization) when `CORS_ALLOW_ALL`/`*` origins are in effect, plus a new `docs/security/CORS.md` security guide covering the risk and safer alternatives. ([#5602](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5602), [#5759](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5759))
+- **feat(api):** add a `/v1/audio/translations` endpoint (Whisper-style audio translation), a new `audioTranslation` handler, and translation providers wired into `audioRegistry`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/audio-translations-route.test.ts` (8, incl. no-stack-leak). ([#5809](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5809))
+- **feat(providers):** allow a **custom icon URL** for compatible provider nodes (migration 113 + `nodes.ts` + Zod schema + API routes + catalog + `ProviderIcon` UI). Regression guards: 14 backend + 5 frontend(vitest) + 24 page-utils tests. ([#5815](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5815))
+- **feat(xai):** register a dedicated `XaiExecutor` with reasoning-effort suffix parsing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executors/xai-executor.test.ts` (6). ([#5800](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5800))
+- **feat(webfetch):** support **self-hosted FireCrawl** instances via `FIRECRAWL_BASE_URL`/`FIRECRAWL_TIMEOUT_MS`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executors/firecrawl-fetch.test.ts` (4). ([#5793](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5793))
+- **feat(providers):** add **ClinePass** as a first-class API-key (BYOK) provider — Cline's paid gateway (`cline-pass/*` models, plain Bearer key), distinct from the existing OAuth `cline` provider. Regression guard: 16 clinepass tests. ([#5942](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5942) — thanks @adentdk)
+- **feat(relay):** gate **Bifrost auto-routing** by the provider plugin manifest — only manifest-eligible providers reach the sidecar; ineligible/unknown providers fall back to the existing TS routing path with explicit reasons. Regression guards: 4 provider-plugin-manifest + 11 relay-routing-backend tests. ([#5870](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5870) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(providers):** wire **Claude Sonnet 5** end-to-end across the model pipeline — registries, `modelSpecs`, pricing (×3), cost, Sonnet-family fallback, 1M-context, and static models. ([#5833](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5833) — thanks @ggiak)
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **dashboard (`/dashboard/system/proxy` 500 on every render):** `ProxyRegistryManager` called `useProxyBatchOperations(load)` before the `const load = useCallback(...)` declaration in the component body, so every server render threw a TDZ `ReferenceError: Cannot access 'load' before initialization` and the whole proxy page 500'd (#5918 regression, caught by the release-PR e2e smoke — the PR→release fast-gates never render pages). The hook block now sits after the `load` declaration. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/ProxyRegistryManager-tdz-render.test.tsx` (SSR renderToString — the exact crash mode).
+
+- **server (TRACE/TRACK/CONNECT returned raw 500 on every route):** methods that undici/fetch cannot represent blew up inside Next's middleware adapter (`TypeError: 'TRACE' HTTP method is unsupported.`) as an unhandled 500 (caught by the release-PR dast-smoke Schemathesis negative tests on the new `/api/keys/{id}/devices` endpoint). The raw HTTP method guard now answers a clean 405 + `Allow` header for these methods on any path, before Next sees the request. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dast-method-not-allowed.test.ts` (new case).
+
+- **i18n (auto-detect refreshed every first visit):** `LocaleAutoDetect` (#5979) called `router.refresh()` on every cookie-less first visit — even when the detected browser locale was exactly the one the server had just rendered — re-navigating the page mid-interaction (flaky e2e "execution context destroyed" + a visible flash for every new visitor). It now refreshes only when the detected locale differs from the server-rendered `<html lang>`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/LocaleAutoDetect-refresh.test.tsx`.
+
+- **models (`oc/` alias must reach the no-auth OpenCode provider):** restore the [#2901](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/2901) routing contract after the #5918 transitive-alias change made the registered no-auth `opencode` provider unreachable by any prefix (`oc/` chained through the manual `opencode` → `opencode-zen` slug override and misrouted its combo entries). `resolveProviderAlias` now stops the alias chain as soon as a hop lands on a registered provider id, while keeping #5918's transitivity across alias-only hops and its loop/depth guards. Regression guards: `tests/unit/combo-builder-opencode-prefix.test.ts`, `tests/unit/provider-alias-transitive-5918.test.ts`.
+
+- **providers (Auggie executor EPIPE crash):** a fast-exiting `auggie` CLI (e.g. binary present but immediately failing) delivered `EPIPE` **asynchronously** as an `'error'` event on the child's stdin stream — which a plain try/catch around `stdin.write()` cannot catch — crashing the request instead of surfacing the sanitized CLI error. Both spawn sites now attach a stdin `'error'` handler so the child's own exit/close handlers report the failure. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auggie-executor.test.ts` (deterministic 3/3 locally).
+
+- **dashboard (CoolingConnectionsPanel broke `next build`):** the cooling-connections panel from #6061 imported `Card` from a shadcn-style path that does not exist in this repo (`@/components/ui/card`) and pulled the server DB barrel (`@/lib/localDb`) into a client component — `next build` failed to compile on the release branch. The panel now renders with repo-native markup and reads `formatResetCountdown` from the new client-safe `src/shared/utils/formatting.ts`. Regression guards: `tests/unit/format-reset-countdown.test.ts`, `tests/unit/ui/CoolingConnectionsPanel.test.tsx`. ([#6155](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6155))
+
+- **oauth (Zed "Unknown provider" crash):** adding **Zed** from the providers dashboard threw an unhandled `OAuth GET error: Unknown provider: zed` (500) ([#6041](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6041)). Zed is a **keychain-import-only** provider — it's listed in the OAuth catalog so the UI shows it, but has no OAuth handler, so the generic `/api/oauth/[provider]/[action]` route hit `getProvider("zed")` and crashed. The route now recognizes keychain-import-only providers and returns a clear **400** pointing users at the **Import** button (for both GET and POST OAuth actions), instead of a 500. Regression guard: `tests/unit/oauth-keychain-import-only-6041.test.ts`. (thanks @imblowsnow)
+
+- **fix(providers):** disable the unsupported `thinking` param for `minimax-m2.7` on NVIDIA NIM (the upstream rejects it) ([#6102](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6102)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-minimax-thinking-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(mitm):** add an in-process guard so concurrent MITM server starts no longer race — a second start while one is already in flight is short-circuited instead of double-binding the listener ([#6107](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6107)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-start-guard.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **translator (Responses → Chat Completions):** strip the Responses-API-only `truncation` field before forwarding a `/v1/responses` request to a non-OpenAI Chat Completions upstream ([#6109](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6109)). Strict upstreams (e.g. NVIDIA NIM) rejected it with HTTP 400 `Unsupported parameter(s): truncation`, breaking Codex-style clients routed to those providers. `client_metadata`, `background`, and `safety_identifier` were already stripped — `truncation` was the remaining gap. Regression guard: `tests/unit/responses-strip-truncation-2311.test.ts`. (thanks @TuanNguyen0708)
+
+- **combo (prefer known context capacity over unknown):** when a combo filters out at least one target for exceeding a _known_ context limit, the router now prefers the remaining known-compatible targets over targets whose context metadata is simply unknown, instead of letting unknown-metadata targets be the only survivors. If no known-compatible context target remains, context-only candidates fall back to the normal strategy order. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-context-window-filter.test.ts`. ([#6088](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6088) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+
+- **models (GLM-5.2 context normalization):** stop treating every hosted GLM-5.2 provider alias as the native 1M-context model. Native/bare GLM-5.2 and verified OpenCode / ZenMux routes keep their 1,000,000-token context, while hosted-provider aliases now respect the caps declared in their provider metadata instead of inheriting the native max. Regression guards: `tests/unit/model-capabilities-registry.test.ts`, `tests/unit/models-catalog-route.test.ts`. ([#6091](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6091) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+
+- **providers (Gemini Web):** refresh the Gemini Web cookie handling and model catalog so live Gemini Web sessions keep authenticating and routing to current models. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-web.test.ts`. ([#6095](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6095) — thanks @backryun)
+
+- **providers (Perplexity Web):** refresh the Perplexity Web model catalog to the current set (GPT-5.4/5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.0 / Opus 4.8, GLM-5.2, Kimi K2.6, Nemotron 3 Ultra) and update the internal mode / `model_preference` mappings and thinking variants so requests resolve to live upstream models. Regression guard: `tests/unit/perplexity-web.test.ts`. ([#6106](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6106) — thanks @backryun)
+
+- **dashboard ("Update now" → Internal Server Error):** clicking **Update now** on the dashboard home could crash the page with a blank "Internal Server Error" screen (`Minified React error #31`). The handler POSTs the loopback-only `/api/system/version` auto-update endpoint and, on a non-OK JSON response (e.g. a `403` when the dashboard is reached through a reverse proxy / non-loopback origin), passed the raw error envelope object `{ error: { code, message, correlation_id } }` straight to `notify.error()`, which rendered the object as a React child and threw #31. The update-error path now funnels the body through `extractApiErrorMessage()` (the same safe extractor added in #5340), so a readable string always reaches the toast. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/home-update-error-render-5991.test.ts`. ([#5991](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5991))
+- **fix(onboarding):** route the provider-details link in the onboarding wizard by the node's stable id instead of the composite provider slug, which could point at the wrong provider details page for multi-account/fingerprint nodes. Regression guard: `tests/unit/onboarding-wizard-details-link-6145.test.ts`. ([#6145](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6145) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(cli):** give `setup-claude` a fallback profile generator mirroring `setup-codex`, so profile generation no longer silently no-ops when the primary generator path is unavailable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli/setup-claude.test.ts` (new cases). ([#6138](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6138) — thanks @derhornspieler)
+- **fix(glm):** suppress a leaked `</think>` close marker in the GLM Anthropic transport, which was surfacing the raw reasoning-close tag in visible response content instead of being consumed as part of the thinking-block framing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/glm-think-close-marker-leak.test.ts`. ([#6133](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6133) — thanks @dhaern)
+- **fix(provider-limits):** close a TOCTOU race in quota-recovery clearing by moving the check-then-clear to a CAS (compare-and-swap) primitive in `src/lib/db/providers.ts`, so two concurrent recovery paths can no longer both observe stale state and double-clear/re-lock a connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-limits-recovery.test.ts`. ([#6139](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6139) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **fix(provider-limits):** clear transient rate-limit state (`rateLimitedUntil`, `lastError`, `backoffLevel`) as soon as quota recovers, instead of leaving stale rate-limit fields behind that could keep a now-healthy connection looking unavailable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-limits-recovery.test.ts`. ([#6128](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6128) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **combos (OpenCode/MiMo fingerprint accounts):** expand fingerprint-scoped OpenCode/MiMo accounts into their full per-fingerprint set in the combo builder, which previously showed only the first matching account entry and hid the rest from combo target selection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-builder-fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`. ([#6092](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6092), closes [#6087](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6087) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(auth):** persist quota-preflight account lockouts until the reset window elapses, instead of losing the lockout on process restart and letting a still-quota-exhausted account be selected again immediately. Regression guards: `tests/unit/sse-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/opencode-quota-fetcher.test.ts`, `tests/unit/usage-service-hardening.test.ts`. ([#6090](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6090) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+- **combo (fingerprint-based provider expansion):** expand fingerprint-based providers into per-fingerprint combo targets (`open-sse/services/combo/fingerprintExpansion.ts`) so a combo referencing a fingerprint-scoped provider fans out to every matching fingerprint account instead of collapsing onto one. Regression guards: `tests/unit/combo-fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`, `tests/integration/fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`. ([#6082](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6082) — thanks @pizzav-xyz)
+- **fix (safety-net redirect `reqId` crash):** fix a `reqId` `ReferenceError` thrown inside the safety-net combo redirect path in `src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, remove dead code in `src/domain/quotaCache.ts`, and rename the stray root `DESING.md` to `DESIGN.md`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chat-safetynet-reqid-6097.test.ts`. ([#6097](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6097) — thanks @fix2015)
+- **fix(compression):** send a patch-only body to `PUT /api/settings/compression` from `CompressionHub`, instead of round-tripping the full settings object and risking clobbering fields changed elsewhere between load and save. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/CompressionHub-patch-only.test.tsx`. ([#6077](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6077), closes [#6039](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6039) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(codex):** use `access_token.exp` instead of `id_token.exp` when computing `expiresAt` on Codex auth import, since the `id_token` can expire far sooner than the actual access token, causing imported connections to be treated as expired while still usable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-auth-import-expiry.test.ts`. ([#6084](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6084), closes [#6075](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6075) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(security):** persist the IP allow/block-list configuration (it was resetting to Disabled and clearing configured IPs on every restart/update) and actually enforce it in the authz pipeline (`src/server/authz/pipeline.ts`), where it was previously validated but never applied. Regression guards: `tests/unit/ip-filter-persistence-6131.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/ip-filter-enforcement-6131.test.ts`, `tests/unit/ip-filter.test.ts`. (closes [#6131](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6131), [#6132](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6132))
+- **fix (Claude tool_result adjacency):** reattach an OpenAI-shaped `tool_result` to sit directly adjacent to its originating `tool_use` before translating to Claude's message format (`open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-claude/toolResultAdjacency.ts`), since Claude's API rejects/mishandles a tool result separated from its tool call by intervening messages. Regression guard: `tests/unit/translator-openai-to-claude.test.ts` (new cases). ([#6035](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6035) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(config):** externalize `ws`/`bufferutil`/`utf-8-validate` in `next.config.mjs` so the `copilot-m365-web` executor's WebSocket masking path works at runtime — chat requests through it were silently timing out because the bundler was inlining `ws` instead of leaving it as a real Node dependency. Regression guard: `tests/unit/next-config.test.ts`. ([#6130](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6130), closes [#6062](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6062) — thanks @anki1kr, whose #6098 fix it re-lands)
+- **fix(registry):** update grok-cli model context lengths to match the actual Grok CLI `/context` capacities — `grok-build` 128k→256k, `grok-composer-2.5-fast` 128k→200k — so context-aware routing stops filtering these models out for exceeding a stale, too-low limit. Registry-only. ([#5913](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5913) — thanks @Chewji9875)
+- **fix(providers):** strip an orphan `tool_result` (one with no preceding `tool_use`) on the Antigravity MITM path before translating to OpenAI format, since an unpaired tool result upstream caused request failures. Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-orphan-toolresult-6026.test.ts`. (closes [#6026](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6026), [#6115](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6115))
+- **fix(providers):** emulate OpenAI-style `tool_calls` in the GitLab Duo executor (new `open-sse/executors/gitlabResponses.ts`), since the executor previously didn't emulate tool-call semantics for Duo, breaking tool-using clients routed to GitLab Duo. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-duo-toolcalls-6051.test.ts`. (closes [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051), [#6111](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6111))
+- **fix(429 / accountFallback):** persist the per-account 429 cooldown cascade across the request boundary and classify OpenCode's "Monthly usage limit. Resets in N days." message as a connection-scoped quota exhaustion with an N-day cooldown (instead of a ~5s transient retry), so an exhausted account stops being re-selected until its window resets. ([#6061](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6061) — thanks @KooshaPari / @anki1kr, whose superseded #6086 carried the same day-parser approach)
+- **combo (sibling-model fallback on per-model-quota 500s):** when a combo held multiple models from the same provider (e.g. two Gemini models) and the first returned a server 500, the router retried the same locked model and surfaced a 429 "cooling down" instead of trying the sibling — `markConnectionLevelExhaustion` was wrongly tripped by a model-level 500 for per-model-quota providers (gemini, github, passthrough, compatible), and the retry loop didn't check `isModelLocked` before re-hitting the same model. Both gaps are fixed; the combo now falls through to the untried sibling model. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo/combo-target-exhaustion.test.ts` (21 cases). ([#5976](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5976) — thanks @hartmark)
+- **providers (Cline non-streaming envelope):** Cline can return OpenAI-compatible chat completions wrapped as `{ success, data: { choices, usage, ... } }`; the non-streaming path checked the top-level body for empty content before unwrapping, so a valid wrapped response could be misclassified as malformed/empty. The envelope is now unwrapped immediately after provider-envelope handling, before empty-content detection, usage extraction, and translation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cline-response-envelope.test.ts`. ([#6046](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6046) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **providers (kimi-web, qwen-web):** align the kimi-web model catalog and request-scenario selection with `www.kimi.com`'s live `GetAvailableModels` response, and stop aliasing `qwen3-coder-plus` on qwen-web now that it is present as its own model in the live Qwen web catalog. ([#5915](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5915) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **translator (Antigravity/Gemini tool schemas):** strip `multipleOf` from function-declaration parameters before forwarding to Antigravity/Gemini — it is not part of the Gemini OpenAPI 3.0 schema subset accepted upstream and triggered a hard 400 ("Unknown name multipleOf"). Added to `GEMINI_UNSUPPORTED_SCHEMA_KEYS` so it is stripped at every schema level; `minimum`/`maximum` are unaffected since Gemini accepts them. (Ported from 9router#2309, reported by @abil0321.) ([#6052](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6052))
+- **translator (Kiro system prompt leak):** Kiro/CodeWhisperer has no system role, so system messages were normalized into a bare user turn — the full Claude Code system prompt then appeared as raw user text, polluting model context. System-origin content is now wrapped in `<system-reminder>` tags before merging into the Kiro user message; real user turns are unaffected. (Ported from 9router#2306, reported by @VitzS7.) ([#6053](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6053))
+- **fix(codex):** convert Chat Completions `json_schema` `response_format` → Responses API `text.format` on the Codex path, and preserve an existing `text.format` through verbosity normalization. Regression guards: 48 translator-openai-responses-req + 8 codex-verbosity tests. ([#5933](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5933) — thanks @yusufrahadika)
+- **fix(thinking):** only inject the `redacted_thinking` replay block when `tool_use` is present and thinking is enabled, avoiding a fabricated replay block on plain (non-tool) turns. ([#5945](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5945), [#5953](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5953))
+- **fix(resilience):** honor active **codex session affinity** over per-request reset-aware re-scoring, so an in-flight session sticks to its pinned account instead of being re-scored away mid-conversation. New `src/sse/services/sessionAffinityPin.ts` module. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-session-affinity-reset-aware-5903.test.ts`. ([#5903](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5903), [#5943](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5943))
+- **fix(resilience):** compute per-window `is_exhausted` and honor the quota-exhaustion preflight for **priority combos**, so a combo no longer keeps routing to a target whose current window is already exhausted. New `open-sse/services/combo/quotaExhaustionCutoff.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-priority-quota-exhaustion-cutoff-5923.test.ts`. ([#5923](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5923), [#5941](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5941))
+- **fix(providers):** strip a `/v1` suffix from the base URL unconditionally in both models-discovery paths, avoiding a doubled `/v1/v1/models` fetch error (e.g. Api Airforce). Regression guard: `tests/unit/airforce-v1-double-prefix-5899.test.ts`. ([#5899](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5899), [#5920](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5920) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(api):** relax provider-scoped chat completion validation on `/api/providers/[provider]/chat/completions`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-scoped-chat-completions-validation.test.ts`. ([#5907](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5907) — thanks @nickwizard)
+- **fix(providers):** validate **v0 Platform** (Vercel) API keys via the `/chats` endpoint instead of a probe that rejected valid keys. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-validation-specialty.test.ts`. ([#5954](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5954) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+- **fix(mcp):** auto-recover stale streamable HTTP MCP sessions on `initialize` instead of failing the reconnect. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mcp-session-sweep.test.ts`. ([#5957](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5957) — thanks @Chewji9875)
+- **fix(translator):** enforce strict Anthropic content-block compliance when converting an antigravity → openai request. Regression guard: `tests/unit/translator-antigravity-to-openai.test.ts` (9). ([#5935](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5935))
+- **fix(sse):** strip ANSI/VT100 escape codes from `gemini-cli` stream frames using a ReDoS-safe pattern. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-cli-ansi-sanitization.test.ts` (5). ([#5934](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5934) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(discovery):** resolve a doubled `/v1` discovery path and a `REDIRECT_BLOCKED` probe-loop abort in the model-discovery route. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-route.test.ts`. ([#5904](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5904) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **fix(providers): Perplexity Web now emits real `tool_calls` in streaming mode** — previously only non-streaming requests (`hasTools && !stream`) converted `<tool>{...}</tool>` text into OpenAI `tool_calls`; streaming requests (the default for agentic coding clients) got the raw `<tool>` text as plain `delta.content` and never emitted a `tool_calls` SSE delta. Now mirrors the `chatgpt-web` `toolMode` helpers (`buildToolModeResponse()`/`toolCompletionToSseStream()`, extended with a caller-supplied `idSeed` so tool-call ids stay provider-specific), buffering the completion and emitting a terminal SSE replay carrying `delta.tool_calls` + `finish_reason: tool_calls` regardless of the caller's stream flag. ([#5927](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5927), [#5937](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5937))
+- **providers (openai-family model inference no longer hijacks cataloged models):** `resolveModelByProviderInference()` had an unconditional `/^gpt-/i` heuristic that hijacked any model id starting with `gpt-`/`o1`/`o3` into provider `openai`, even when the id is cataloged under other providers — breaking bare (non-combo) requests for open-weight models like `gpt-oss-120b` (served by fireworks/cerebras/scaleway/byteplus/sambanova/heroku), which don't exist on openai's catalog, producing a 404 with no fallback. The heuristic is now gated on `providers.length === 0` so it only fires for genuinely uncataloged openai-family ids. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gptoss-provider-inference-5852.test.ts`. ([#5852](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5852), [#5938](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5938))
+- **fix(providers): deepseek-web reliability** — auto-refresh the session on `401`/`403`, refresh the v2.0.0 client headers, and fix the token-kind bulk import path. Regression guards: `tests/unit/deepseek-web-autorefresh-401-response.test.ts`, `tests/unit/bulk-web-session-import.test.ts`. ([#5988](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5988) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(api):** guard the shared frontend API client (`handleResponse` in `src/shared/utils/api.ts`) against non-JSON error responses — it previously called `response.json()` unconditionally and read `data.error` directly, throwing an unrelated parse error (or `undefined`) instead of a useful message when an upstream/proxy returned a non-JSON error body. Now routes through `parseResponseBody`/`getErrorMessage` to build a safe message regardless of body shape. Regression guard: `tests/unit/shared-api-utils.test.ts`. ([#5973](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5973))
+- **fix(embeddings):** forward the connection-level proxy configuration to embedding requests — `src/lib/embeddings/service.ts` previously ignored a connection's configured proxy when making embedding calls, so proxy-only network setups leaked embedding traffic outside the proxy. Regression guard: `tests/unit/embeddings-proxy-forwarding.test.ts`. ([#5975](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5975))
+- **fix(resilience):** parse `Retry-After` from a 429's JSON body for cooldown calculation, not just the HTTP header — a new `retryAfterJson.ts` helper extracts a retry-after hint from common JSON error-body shapes and `accountFallback.ts`'s cooldown path now prefers it when the header is absent. Regression guard: `tests/unit/account-fallback-retry-after-json.test.ts`. (Includes #6013's retry-after-json extraction.) ([#5974](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5974) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **release close (release-PR one-pass CI sweep):** restore Zod validation on the provider-scoped chat route with a `.passthrough()` schema that keeps #5907's relaxed semantics (t06 route-validation gate); point `/api/keys/{id}/devices`' 401 response at the management error envelope in `docs/openapi.yaml` (Schemathesis schema-conformance); rebaseline `i18nUiCoverage.pct` 77.5→76.8 (~1352 new en.json UI keys from the cycle await the async translation workflow — same shape as the v3.8.39 rebaseline); dismiss 2 CodeQL `js/incomplete-url-substring-sanitization` false positives on unit-test asserts (v3.8.35 precedent).
+
+- **release close (Phase 0 pre-flight):** align cycle-stale tests with merged behavior — provider count 166→167 (Kenari #6104), Linux-regenerated translate-path golden (+`kenari`), OpenCode quota scope `provider`→`connection` (#6061) — and absorb cycle ratchet drift (file-size caps for `oauth/[provider]/[action]/route.ts` 960, `providerLimits.ts` 998, `chat.ts` 1662, `auth.ts` 2426, with #6158 tracked to restore the oauth-route freeze). The test-masking gate gains a narrowly-scoped `_deletedWithReplacement` allowlist section (deletion is exempt ONLY when the declared replacement test file exists in HEAD — used for `targetExhaustion.test.ts` → `tests/unit/combo/combo-target-exhaustion.test.ts`, which has MORE coverage: 21 cases/52 asserts vs 13/37), plus 5 new gate unit tests and reduction-allowlist entries for the verified-legitimate #5958/#6088/#5816 assert migrations.
+
+- **test (deflake `setup-claude`):** `tests/unit/cli/setup-claude.test.ts` failed ~50% of runs with `Unable to deserialize cloned data due to invalid or unsupported version` at file teardown (all subtests passed), randomly reddening `Unit Tests fast-path (2/2)` / `Fast Quality Gates` across the PR→release queue. Root cause: `node --test` streams each file's report to the parent as V8-serialized frames on fd 1 (stdout), and the CLI helper under test (`syncClaudeProfilesFromModels`) prints progress via `console.log` — that stdout output interleaved with the serialized frames and corrupted the stream. The test now silences the stdout-writing `console` methods for the file's duration (no assertion inspects stdout), making it deterministic (15/15 green locally). ([#5959](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5959)) ([#6021](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6021))
+
+- **API validation:** add a `validatedJsonBody(request, schema)` helper in `src/shared/validation/helpers.ts` that fuses JSON body parsing and Zod validation into a single call, returning either the type-narrowed data or a ready-to-return 400 `NextResponse` with the standard error envelope. Salvaged from the closed refactor PR #5075 (Tier 1 portable helper) with a focused 6-case regression test. Co-authored-by: KooshaPari <KooshaPari@users.noreply.github.com>
+- **repo (Windows case-conflict cleanup):** remove the stale root `DESIGN.md`, which case-conflicted with `design.md` and broke checkouts/clones on case-insensitive Windows filesystems. ([#6140](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6140) — thanks @backryun)
+- **i18n(zh-CN):** translate the CHANGELOG entries and section headings, adopting zh-CN as a fully translated locale alongside the existing supporting docs. ([#6043](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6043) — thanks @studyzy)
+- **docs (env-doc-sync base-red):** document `BIFROST_PORT` in `.env.example` / `docs/reference/ENVIRONMENT.md` — the Bifrost embedded-service merge referenced `process.env.BIFROST_PORT` (default 8080) without documenting it, so `check:env-doc-sync` failed on the release tip and reddened Fast Quality Gates for every open PR→release. Docs-only (`8d7e3e28f`).
+- **test (CI-runner-independent translate-path golden):** normalize OS/arch-derived request headers (`X-Stainless-Os`/`X-Stainless-Arch`, `(OS;arch)` User-Agent segments, and Antigravity's `os.platform()`-derived platform substring) in the provider translate-path golden snapshot, so the test no longer depends on the OS/arch of the CI runner that generated it — a Mac-literal Antigravity UA was failing on Linux CI. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-translate-path-golden.test.ts`. ([#6076](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6076) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **release-green base-reds (#5695 regex + file-size rebaseline):** `tests/unit/ui/quick-start-api-keys-link-5695.test.ts` now tolerates Prettier splitting a multi-line `<Link href=...>` so the `step1Desc` regex matches the `/dashboard/api-manager` link instead of skipping to `step2`'s single-line `/dashboard/providers` link (test was brittle, not the code). Also rebaselines 5 files that grew via already-merged release-tip PRs in `config/quality/file-size-baseline.json` (`ApiManagerPageClient` 3017→3058, `OAuthModal` 969→989, `cliRuntime` 1090→1100, `webProvidersA` 805→809, `deepseek-web.test` 1081→1092), with shrink tracked in #3501. ([#6093](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6093))
+- **release close (LEDGER-4 base-red):** the `cline-pass` provider's `minimax-m3` registry entry was missing `supportsVision`, breaking the LEDGER-4 registry-consistency test (every `minimax-m3` entry must set `supportsVision` to match `lite.ts` — the model is multimodal). Flagged it to match every other `minimax-m3` entry (trae, bazaarlink, cline, ollama-cloud, ...). ([#6003](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6003))
+- **release close (stryker `tap.testFiles` drift):** additional release-green cleanup clearing the `qoder` registry's `minimax-m3` `supportsVision` LEDGER-4 base-red and `stryker.conf.json`'s `tap.testFiles` drift. ([#6012](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6012))
+- **install (pnpm 11+ support):** pnpm 11 introduced `ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS` for native addon packages — without explicit `allowBuilds` approval, packages silently skip their build scripts and OmniRoute fails to start with missing native modules. Sets `allowBuilds=true` for all 13 native addon packages in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` (`@parcel/watcher`, `@swc/core`, `better-sqlite3`, `core-js`, `esbuild`, `keytar`, `koffi`, `libxmljs2`, `onnxruntime-node`, `protobufjs`, `sharp`, `tls-client-node`, `unrs-resolver`) and migrates `onlyBuiltDependencies` from the deprecated `package.json` field to a new `pnpm.json`. (commit 39349da18 — thanks @chirag127)
+- **refactor (Block J hot-path decomposition):** extract pure leaves with no behavior change from the executor, translator, combo, and SSE hot paths — orphaned executor tests moved to top-level so a runner collects them, and `handleComboChat`'s auto-strategy/target-timeout regions split into named helpers. ([#6063](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6063), [#6049](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6049), [#6036](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6036), [#6030](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6030), [#6020](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6020), [#6018](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6018), [#6017](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6017), [#6016](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6016), [#6015](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6015), [#6014](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6014), [#6008](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6008), [#6006](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6006), [#6000](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6000), [#5999](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5999), [#5994](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5994), [#5967](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5967), [#5962](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5962), [#5960](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5960), [#5947](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5947), [#5949](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5949), [#5940](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5940), [#5932](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5932))
+- **chore (quality/CI housekeeping):** rebaseline residual ESLint/cognitive-complexity/file-size drift accumulated over the v3.8.44 cycle, move orphaned executor tests to a top-level location so a runner actually collects them, harden the release pipeline with a test-masking pre-flight gate plus contributors/uncovered helpers, and make the `pr-evidence` FAIL output tell the author to push (a body edit alone does not re-run the gate). ([#5926](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5926), [#5944](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5944), [#5952](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5952), [#6027](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6027), [#5928](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5928), plus a #5975-collateral test hardening pinning a seeded connection to direct egress in route-edge-coverage)
+- **docs (housekeeping):** normalize mixed-language documentation content, restore the OpenAPI coverage ratchet by documenting 9 newly-added routes, record Hard Rule #22 (cross-session safety — `git stash` + in-flight PR bans), and document the compression-engine's upstream sync policy for the RTK/Caveman engines. ([#6105](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6105), [#5955](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5955), [#5948](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5948), plus docs-only commit 926b08aa8)

-#### Solução: Configure suas próprias credenciais OAuth
-
-Você precisa criar um **OAuth 2.0 Client ID** no Google Cloud Console com a URI do seu servidor.
-
-#### Passo a passo
-
-**1. Acesse o Google Cloud Console**
-
-Abra: [https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials)
-
-**2. Crie um novo OAuth 2.0 Client ID**
-
-- Clique em **"+ Create Credentials"** → **"OAuth client ID"**
-- Tipo de aplicativo: **"Web application"**
-- Nome: escolha qualquer nome (ex: `OmniRoute Remote`)
-
-**3. Adicione as Authorized Redirect URIs**
-
-No campo **"Authorized redirect URIs"**, adicione:
-
-```
-https://seu-servidor.com/callback
-```
-
-> Substitua `seu-servidor.com` pelo domínio ou IP do seu servidor (inclua a porta se necessário, ex: `http://45.33.32.156:20128/callback`).
-
-**4. Salve e copie as credenciais**
-
-Após criar, o Google mostrará o **Client ID** e o **Client Secret**.
-
-**5. Configure as variáveis de ambiente**
-
-No seu `.env` (ou nas variáveis de ambiente do Docker):
-
-```bash
-# Para Antigravity:
-ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=seu-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
-ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-seu-secret
-
-GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=seu-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
-GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-seu-secret
-```
-
-**6. Reinicie o OmniRoute**
-
-```bash
-# Se usando npm:
-npm run dev
-
-# Se usando Docker:
-docker restart omniroute
-```
-
-**7. Tente conectar novamente**
-
-
-Agora o Google redirecionará corretamente para `https://seu-servidor.com/callback` e a autenticação funcionará.
-
----
-
-#### Workaround temporário (sem configurar credenciais próprias)
-
-Se não quiser criar credenciais próprias agora, ainda é possível usar o fluxo **manual de URL**:
-
-1. O OmniRoute abrirá a URL de autorização do Google
-2. Após você autorizar, o Google tentará redirecionar para `localhost` (que falha no servidor remoto)
-3. **Copie a URL completa** da barra de endereço do seu browser (mesmo que a página não carregue)
-4. Cole essa URL no campo que aparece no modal de conexão do OmniRoute
-5. Clique em **"Connect"**
-
-> Este workaround funciona porque o código de autorização na URL é válido independente do redirect ter carregado ou não.

+- **9router Codex import**: the Codex bulk-import endpoint (`POST /api/oauth/codex/import`) now accepts 9router's camelCase account export (`accessToken`/`refreshToken`/`idToken`/`expiresAt` + nested `providerSpecificData`), not just snake_case — `normalizeCodexImportRecord` maps the camelCase aliases onto the existing snake_case keys, filling each only when absent so snake_case/mixed exports keep working unchanged ([#6665](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6665)) — thanks @deadcoder0904. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codexBulkImport.test.ts` (9router camelCase record, pre-supplied `providerSpecificData` without an id_token, snake_case-not-overridden, and a full `{accounts:[...]}` flatten).

+- **feat(release):** `changelog.d/` fragments — eliminates the CHANGELOG merge-storm cascade. ([#6783](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6783) — thanks @diegosouzapw)

+
+- **feat(dashboard):** sidebar quick-filter — a search input at the top of the expanded dashboard sidebar (`src/shared/components/Sidebar.tsx`) filters nav sections/groups/items client-side by label as you type, reusing the existing `common.search`/`common.noResults` i18n keys (zero new locale edits) and the shared `Input` `icon="search"` pattern; matching sections auto-expand while searching (bypassing the accordion/pin state) and collapse back to normal once the query is cleared. Pure filtering logic extracted into `filterSidebarSectionsByQuery()` (`src/shared/utils/sidebarSearch.ts`) for isolated unit testing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/sidebar-search-filter.test.ts`, `src/shared/components/Sidebar.search.test.tsx`. (#4013 — thanks @crochabe-cyber)
+- **feat(combo):** `auto/*` combos gain a strict budget-cap fallback policy — `X-OmniRoute-Budget-Fallback: strict` (or the persisted `config.budgetFallback: "strict"`) makes an over-budget request fail fast with `HTTP 402` instead of the previous silent fallback to the globally cheapest candidate, which could still exceed the cap. The default (`cheapest`) preserves existing behavior. Builds on the existing `X-OmniRoute-Budget`/`X-OmniRoute-Mode` per-request controls (#6023/#6024/#6025), consolidated into `resolveRequestAutoControls()`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auto-combo-budget-fallback-3470.test.ts`. (#3470)
+- **Provider/model param filters**: config-driven parameter denylist/allowlist per provider/model with auto-learn from upstream 400s (#6649 — thanks @ThongAccount, closes #6625)
+- **Per-combo reasoning token buffer toggle**: the combo builder now exposes an explicit checkbox for the `#3587` reasoning-model `max_tokens` buffer, defaulting to the existing enabled behavior, so a combo can opt out without hand-editing raw JSON config (#6702 — thanks @xz-dev)
+- **feat(dashboard):** 9router-parity **Routing Strategy** settings card on Settings → Routing, plus a per-provider account-routing override on the provider detail page ([#6678](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6678)) — surfaces the existing account round-robin / sticky-limit knobs and adds a new combo-level sticky round-robin (`comboStickyRoundRobinLimit`, resolved via `resolveComboStickyRoundRobinLimit()` — per-combo → global combo sticky → account sticky cascade) so combo targets can batch calls per target the same way account fallback already does. A new `providerStrategies` setting (Zod-validated map, `src/shared/validation/settingsSchemas.ts`) lets a specific provider override the global `fallbackStrategy`/`stickyRoundRobinLimit` without touching the account-wide default, wired into `getProviderCredentials()` (`src/sse/services/auth.ts`) ahead of the global fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-rr-sticky-9router.test.ts`, `tests/unit/settings-ui-layout-static.test.ts`. (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **feat(icons):** provider logos now resolve local SVG assets first for faster rendering, with a 5-tier fallback chain — local SVG → `@lobehub/icons` React components → `thesvg.org` CDN (external SVG for unknown providers) → local PNG → generic AI icon — replacing the previous LobeHub-first order. Adds dozens of first-party provider SVGs and migrates several bitmap logos (continue/copilot/cursor/deepgram/heroku/openclaw/ovhcloud) from PNG to SVG. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/ProviderIcon-icon-url.test.tsx`. ([#6317](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6317) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **Skill Collector CLI detection**: new `GET /api/skills/collect/detect` + `POST /api/skills/collect/install` (and the `cli-skill-collector` agent skill) detect which coding CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Cline, Hermes, OpenCode, etc.) are installed locally via `getCliRuntimeStatus()`, match them against GitHub agent-skill repos, and plan an install path per tool — replacing the standalone Skill Collector Python app. Both new routes and `GET/POST /api/github-skills` now require management auth (`requireManagementAuth()`) and are loopback-gated (`LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` + `SPAWN_CAPABLE_PREFIXES`) since the detect route spawns a child process per candidate CLI tool (Hard Rules #15 + #17). The `omniroute_github_skills_install` MCP tool now reports the honest `action: "planned"` instead of `"installed"`, matching the REST route (#6294 — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **ClinePass dual-auth**: ClinePass now offers both sign-in methods on its dashboard page — OAuth (reusing the Cline WorkOS flow) as the primary "Connect" path, or a pasted BYOK API key via "Manual API key", instead of only the API-key-only provider shipped in #5942. The registry alias was aligned to `cp` (matching the `OAUTH_PROVIDERS` catalog alias) so `<alias>/<modelId>` routing resolves correctly, the OAuth refresh dispatch now routes `clinepass` to the shared Cline refresh flow, and the duplicate API-key-only catalog entry was removed to keep ClinePass listed once. Regression guard: `tests/unit/clinepass-provider.test.ts`. (#6126 — thanks @hajilok)
+- **feat(oauth):** Kiro/Amazon Q auto-import now supports enterprise **External IdP** ("Your organization") logins via Microsoft Entra/Okta/Auth0/OneLogin/Ping/Google/Cognito — these org-issued tokens are not AWS SSO tokens (no `aorAAAAAG`-prefixed refresh token) and can't refresh through the AWS OIDC/Kiro-social path, so `tryAwsSsoCache()` now detects them (`authMethod`/`provider === "externalidp"`) and refreshes via the org IdP's own `tokenEndpoint` (public-client OAuth2 refresh grant, no client secret), persisting `TokenType: EXTERNAL_IDP` gating so the runtime executor sends the header the AWS CodeWhisperer API requires for these accounts; `tokenEndpoint` is SSRF-guarded against an HTTPS + known-IdP-host-suffix allowlist. (#6363 — thanks @artickc)
+- **Kiro long-lived API key auth**: new `/api/oauth/kiro/api-key` route + `KiroService.validateApiKey` let a Kiro account be linked with a long-lived AWS CodeWhisperer/Kiro API key instead of the interactive OAuth device flow, with live per-account model discovery (`ListAvailableModels`, 5-minute cache) layered over the existing static registry fallback (#6587 — thanks @strangersp)
+- **Chaos Mode**: multi-model parallel/collaborative task execution — dispatches a task to every active provider connection at once (parallel) or chains outputs sequentially so each model builds on the previous one's answer (collaborative), configurable via Dashboard → Chaos Mode (`GET`/`PUT`/`DELETE /api/chaos/config`) and gated per-API-key via a new `chaosModeEnabled` permission (opt-in — disabled by default globally and per key). `POST /api/chaos/run` (dashboard session) and `POST /api/skills/collect/chaos` (external Bearer-token) delegate to a shared `executeChaosRun()` engine (`src/lib/chaos/chaosExecutor.ts`) that dispatches in-process via the established synthetic-Request/route-handler pattern (no network hop, no hardcoded port), with a concurrency cap (max 10 parallel), configurable `max_tokens` (256–128k), a clear error when `stream` is requested, and collaborative-chain info (provider order + input size). Fixes external Bearer-auth bypass and stale config-cache leakage. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chaos-config.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chaos-executor.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chaos-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6728](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6728) — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **feat(cli):** 2 new CLI tool integrations on Dashboard → CLI Tools — **omp** (Oh My Pi) and **letta** — each with binary detection, config apply/reset, and a settings card following the existing tool-card pattern. Both settings routes shell out to `which omp`/`which letta` to detect the local install, so they're loopback-gated (`LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES`, Hard Rules #15/#17) in addition to the shared `requireCliToolsAuth()` management-auth guard every cli-tools route requires, and route errors through `sanitizeErrorMessage()`; `src/lib/db/omp.ts` isolates the `omp` CLI's own local SQLite reads behind parameterized queries. (Note: the original PR also proposed **pi**, **codewhale**, and **jcode** integrations — those three had already shipped via a separate PR by the time this one was reconciled, so only omp+letta landed here.) Regression guard: `tests/unit/db/omp.test.ts`, `tests/unit/cli-tools-auth-hardening.test.ts`, `tests/integration/cli-settings-omp.test.ts`, `tests/integration/cli-settings-letta.test.ts`. ([#6318](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6318) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **feat(providers):** custom models now support a manual **Context Window Override** so an operator can correct a provider's misreported context length (e.g. reports 1M when the real limit is 128K) instead of the model silently getting dropped from combo routing once the wrong value lands in the catalog ([#4125](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/4125) — thanks @rucciva). Reuses the existing Feature-5004 `model_context_overrides` table (`source: "manual"`) — already the priority-0 source `getModelContextLimit()` (the function combo's context-window filter calls) reads ahead of the models.dev/registry/static catalog — so no new resolver logic was needed, only the missing write path: `PUT /api/provider-models` now accepts an optional `contextWindowOverride` (number to set, `null` to clear), `GET` surfaces the current value back on each custom-model row, and the provider detail page's custom-model edit form gained a Context Window Override field + badge. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-context-window-override-4125.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** register OpenRouter as a rerank provider so `openrouter/cohere/rerank-*` models resolve instead of erroring `Invalid rerank model` (#6574 — thanks @rafpigna)
+- **fix(api):** `HEAD` requests no longer hang until client timeout on any route — valid, unknown, authed, or unauthed ([#6400](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6400)), broader follow-up to the route-specific #6517 (`/v1/models`). Root cause: Next.js 16's App Router _route-handler_ pipeline (`next/dist/server/send-response.js`) correctly skips piping a `Response` body for `HEAD`, but its _page_-rendering pipeline (`next/dist/server/pipe-readable.js` → `pipeToNodeResponse`, used for every app-router page/layout render — including the `not-found` boundary any unmatched path falls through to) has no such check and always streams the full rendered body regardless of method; combined with Node's default keep-alive framing this left some clients unsure whether the (implicitly bodyless) `HEAD` response had actually finished. A new `scripts/dev/head-response-guard.cjs`, wired into both the dev/start custom server (`scripts/dev/run-next.mjs`) and the packaged standalone server (`scripts/dev/standalone-server-ws.mjs`) at the same tier as the existing `http-method-guard.cjs`/`peer-stamp.mjs` wrappers, discards any body bytes written for a `HEAD` request and forces `Connection: close` once `.end()` is called — independent of route existence or auth state, satisfying RFC 9110 §9.3.2. Regression guard: `tests/unit/head-request-closes-6400.test.ts`.
+- **feat(dashboard):** Provider Quota page (`Dashboard → Quota`) fills horizontal whitespace before stacking vertically ([#3520](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3520)) — `QuotaCardGrid` previously stacked every provider group in a single vertical `flex flex-col`, and each group's own card grid didn't go multi-column until `md` (`grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 xl:grid-cols-3 2xl:grid-cols-4`). Provider groups now flow into a 2-column CSS multi-column layout on very wide (`2xl`) screens instead of an unconditional vertical stack, and each group's card grid starts at 2 columns immediately (`grid-cols-2 md:grid-cols-3 xl:grid-cols-4`), reaching higher density sooner on narrower-but-not-mobile viewports. Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-card-grid-horizontal-layout.test.ts` (thanks @gdevenyi).
+- **feat(ws):** the live-dashboard WebSocket server now auto-starts in-process (via `instrumentation-node.ts`) across every deployment mode — dev, production, Docker, Electron — with no separate sidecar script; the default WS port moved from 20129 to **20132** to avoid colliding with `API_PORT` in split-port setups, the deprecated `OMNIROUTE_DISABLE_LIVE_WS` env was consolidated into `OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS` (default enabled), and the WS path is now derived from `NEXT_PUBLIC_LIVE_WS_PUBLIC_URL`'s pathname (`/live-ws` fallback) (#6072 — thanks @ianriizky).
+- **feat(compression):** new **omniglyph** engine (context-as-image) — renders system prompt, tool docs, and dense history as compact PNG pages the model reads instead of text (~10× fewer tokens on the converted block; 59–70% end-to-end measured). Works stacked with RTK/Caveman (`stackPriority: 90`) or standalone (`mode: omniglyph`); restricted to Claude Fable 5 over the direct Anthropic route, fail-closed gates with `skip:<reason>` techniques, preview (`stable: false`, off by default) (#6556). Dependency bumped to `omniglyph@^1.0.2` for upstream ReDoS fixes (#6661).
+- **feat(sandbox):** the skill sandbox gained a container-provider abstraction that auto-detects and uses the best native runtime per host — Apple Container (macOS 26+), WSL container (`wslc.exe`), OrbStack, Podman — instead of hardcoding `docker run`, removing the Docker Desktop requirement on macOS/Windows (#6611 — thanks @KooshaPari).
+- **fix(sse):** skip `thinkingConfig` for Gemma models on the OpenAI→Gemini path so OpenAI-shape clients no longer get a 400 from Vertex. (thanks @chy1211)
+- **feat(xai):** route xAI clients to Grok's native `/v1/responses` endpoint instead of the chat-completions bridge. (thanks @ryanngit)
+- **feat(models):** add a Settings → AI "Model Overrides" UI plus `/api/model-capability-overrides` CRUD and a `model_capability_overrides` table, letting operators set a manual max-output-token override per provider/model (#6727 — thanks @xz-dev).
+- **feat(resilience):** operator-configurable account rotation policy — a new `rotationConfig` layer lets operators tune how connections rotate on failure, wired into `accountFallback` (#6763 — thanks @artickc).
+- **chore(cursor): add Grok 4.5 effort/fast model IDs** (#6774 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- **feat(codex):** Codex provider model discovery now fetches the live catalog from `chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/models` using Codex-shaped headers, falling back to a GitHub-hosted model manifest and then to the local static catalog when the live/GitHub sources are unavailable or return an unexpected shape — new `src/app/api/providers/[id]/models/discovery/codex.ts` (normalization, version-gating, merge/enrich against the local catalog) covered by `tests/unit/provider-models-discovery-split.test.ts` and `tests/unit/provider-models-route-codex.test.ts` (#6776 — thanks @JxnLexn).
+- **feat(cursor):** register the Opus 4.8, Fable 5, and Sonnet 5 model families for the Cursor Agent provider so the latest Claude/Fable model ids route correctly (#6779 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- **Changelog fragments (`changelog.d/`)**: PRs now add their changelog entry as a new fragment file (`changelog.d/{features|fixes|maintenance}/<PR>-<slug>.md`) instead of editing `CHANGELOG.md` — two PRs never touch the same file, structurally eliminating the CHANGELOG-eat merge conflicts that forced a re-sync push + full CI re-run after every sibling merge (O(N²) CI runs in a merge-storm). `scripts/release/aggregate-changelog.mjs` (npm run changelog:aggregate) folds fragments into the living section at release reconciliation, and `check:changelog-integrity` now also validates fragment well-formedness. Regression guard: `tests/unit/changelog-fragments.test.ts`.
+- **feat(proxy):** add a latency-optimized proxy rotation strategy that ranks pool entries by measured round-trip latency, extending the existing round-robin/random/sticky proxy-pool selection (#6798 — thanks @iamraydoan).
+- **feat(fusion):** the fusion judge may now draw on its own knowledge and override the panel when every panel answer is wrong or incomplete, instead of being restricted to synthesizing only from panel output (#6804 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **feat(dashboard):** search box on the Playground's raw model `<select>` (#4086) — the shared `ModelSelectModal` (combo builder + CLI-code cards) already had search, but Playground's `StudioConfigPane` model dropdown stayed a flat unsearchable list, unusable once a provider like OpenRouter contributed 50+ models. Typing now filters the dropdown (Turkish-safe accent/case-insensitive match via `matchesSearch`), while the currently selected model always stays pinned in the list even if it no longer matches the query, so typing never silently swaps the active selection. Reuses the existing `common.search` i18n key (already translated in all 42 locales) — no new translation key needed. Regression guard: `tests/unit/playground-model-selection-3731.test.ts` (`filterModelsByQuery`), `tests/unit/ui/playground-model-search-4086.test.tsx`.
+- **feat(usage):** Antigravity/agy quota widget now surfaces the **weekly** window alongside the existing per-model 5-hour window ([#4017](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/4017)) — the weekly limit isn't part of the per-model `retrieveUserQuota` response the fetcher already calls; it only appears in a separate, undocumented `retrieveUserQuotaSummary` RPC that groups models into families ("Gemini Models", "Claude and GPT models") with one weekly bucket per family. A new `usage/antigravityWeeklyQuota.ts` leaf fetches that RPC (cached, best-effort — a failure or unavailable RPC never breaks the existing per-model quotas) and parses the weekly bucket per group into `gemini_weekly`/`claude_gpt_weekly` quota entries, merged into the same `quotas` map the widget already renders generically. Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-weekly-quota-4017.test.ts` (bucket parsing, the alternate `quotaSummary`-nested envelope, and end-to-end merge via `getUsageForProvider`).
+- **feat(codex):** Codex CLI compatibility shim — the Responses API `response.created`/`response.in_progress`/`response.completed` payloads now carry a `model` field (previously absent), and for Codex-CLI-originated requests it echoes the client-requested, effort-suffixed model id (e.g. `gpt-5.5-xhigh`) instead of the bare upstream id (`gpt-5.5`), so the Codex CLI status line/model button shows the active reasoning effort ([#3697](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3697)). `openaiToOpenAIResponsesResponse` (`open-sse/translator/response/openai-responses.ts`) now threads the upstream model into the Responses event objects; a new `isCodexOriginatedHeaders()` (`open-sse/config/codexIdentity.ts`, reusing PR #3481's `originator`/User-Agent detection) makes chatCore's existing opt-in `echoRequestedModelName` (#1311) model-echo pipeline fire automatically for Codex clients regardless of the setting, detected by request headers so it still applies when `codex/gpt-5.5-xhigh` is routed through a combo to a non-codex upstream; `echoModelInObject`/`echoModelInSseLine` (`open-sse/services/responseModelEcho.ts`) now also rewrite the nested `response.model` field the Responses API uses. `/v1/models` still returns `models: []` for Codex (unchanged). Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-effort-model-echo-3697.test.ts`.
+- **Z.ai Web (free web-session provider)**: new `zai-web` web-cookie provider drives the free chat.z.ai consumer chat UI via a pasted browser session cookie, distinct from the existing API-key `zai`/`glm`/`glm-cn`/`glmt` providers (`api.z.ai`) — modeled on the `doubao-web`/`venice-web` cookie executors and the pre-existing `chatglm-web` credential requirement/token-extraction entries. `ZaiWebExecutor` (`open-sse/executors/zai-web.ts`) posts to `chat.z.ai/api/chat/completions` with the cookie forwarded both as `Cookie` and as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`, and normalizes both z.ai's internal `delta_content`/`phase` SSE envelope and a pass-through OpenAI-shaped `choices[].delta` frame into standard chat-completion chunks. Registered in `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS`, `WEB_SESSION_CREDENTIAL_REQUIREMENTS`, the provider registry (`zai-web` entry, GLM-4.6/4.5/4.5V models), and `tokenExtractionConfig.ts` for in-app cookie capture. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executor-zai-web.test.ts` (16 tests — token extraction, frame parsing for both SSE shapes, streaming and non-streaming aggregation, error paths). (#4056)
+- **feat(compression):** update the vendored **GCF** codec behind the **Headroom** engine to spec **v3.2 (nested flattening)** ([#6837](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6837)). Homogeneous arrays whose rows carry nested objects/arrays now tabularize via `>`-prefixed path fields instead of a low-yield per-row fallback, so nested MCP tool-result rows (`meta:{...}`, `tags:[...]`) compact like flat rows. On representative shapes the update takes deeply-nested payloads the old codec left near-uncompressed from ~3% to ~32% vs JSON (k8s pods, `cl100k_base`), with shallow-nested rows seeing a small bump and flat arrays unchanged. Re-vendored from current gcf-typescript (zero runtime deps, MIT, SPDX-marked, generic-profile only); also folds in the `[N]:` inline-array quoting fix and canonical decimal formatting. Round-trip stays lossless (order-insensitive), and the decoder is hardened against prototype pollution (a `__proto__`/`constructor` path segment never mutates `Object.prototype`, and keys shadowing built-ins like `toString` now round-trip correctly instead of misparsing). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression/headroom-smartcrusher.test.ts` (deep-nested + prototype-pollution cases).
+- **feat(providers):** Add GPT-5.6 support across OpenAI API, Codex, and ChatGPT Web, including Codex Max/Ultra efforts, VS Code metadata, Fast-tier credit accounting, curated live discovery, the Codex 0.144.1 client identity, and correct chat routing for models that also support image generation ([#6862](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6862)) - thanks @backryun
+- **chore(providers):** Align emitted Claude Code identity headers, bridge fingerprints, provider profiles, and documented defaults with claude-cli 2.1.207 ([#6862](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6862)) - thanks @backryun
+
+### 🐛 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(dashboard):** the Proxy Registry settings page crashed at runtime (`ReferenceError: poolLoaded/bulkImportOpen is not defined`) — the #6625/#6909 hook-extraction refactors deleted 10 state declarations (`poolLoaded`, `poolSaving`, and the 8-member bulk-import family) while ~30 usages remained; all restored (caught by the release E2E; `typecheck:core` does not cover dashboard TSX — follow-up #7021). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(combo):** `comboStickyRoundRobinLimit` now defaults to inherit (`null`) instead of `1` — the literal default silently shadowed the documented batched round-robin rotation (`stickyRoundRobinLimit: 3`), flipping every round-robin combo to per-request alternation (#6678 follow-up, caught by the release CI). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(ws):** the standalone LiveWS startup script exited 0 without ever listening — its bootstrapped child re-spawned with the import-suppressor `OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS=0` and then honored it as an operator disable (#6072 follow-up, caught by the release CI). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+

+- **fix(i18n):** the provider-detail (`/dashboard/providers/[id]`) visibility + free/paid model filter labels (`showVisibleOnly`, `showHiddenOnly`, `freeFilterAll`, `freeFilterFreeOnly`, `freeFilterPaidOnly`, `hideAllModels`, plus the currently-unused `filterVisible`/`filterHidden`/`filterByVisibility`) rendered as the literal `__MISSING__:<english>` sentinel in 15 locales, including pt-BR ([#6694](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6694)) — `providerText()` (`providerPageHelpers.ts`) checks `t.has(key)` before falling back to clean English, and `t.has()` returns `true` even when the stored value is the `__MISSING__:` sentinel `scripts/i18n/sync-ui-keys.mjs` writes when mirroring keys across locales, so the sentinel rendered verbatim instead of the fallback. Disjoint key set from #6290 (`filterAll`/`filterActive`/`filterError`/`filterBanned`/`filterCreditsExhausted`). All 9 keys now carry real translations across the 15 affected locale files (`it`, `ja`, `ko`, `mr`, `ms`, `nl`, `no`, `phi`, `pl`, `pt`, `pt-BR`, `ro`, `ru`, `sk`, `sv`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-provider-visibility-filter-keys-6694.test.ts`.

+- **fix(cli):** the dashboard's Claude Code CLI card could report "Not detected"/"Not installed" even when Claude Code was genuinely installed and previously used ([#6701](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6701)) — `getCliRuntimeStatus()` (`src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts`) determined `installed` purely from binary resolution (known install paths + a `where`/`which` PATH search), with no fallback when that lookup fails for reasons unrelated to whether the CLI is actually installed (stale PATH inherited by a long-running/background process, the binary having moved, an install method not yet catalogued, etc.) — even though `~/.claude/settings.json` on disk proves the tool was installed and used before. Upstream 9router's equivalent route already has this exact fallback. A new `withSettingsFallback()` (`src/shared/services/cliInstallFallback.ts`) restores 9router parity: when the binary lookup's own reason is `"not_found"` (never for deliberate security rejections like unsafe/relative env overrides or symlink escapes) and the tool's settings file exists on disk, `installed` now reports `true`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6701-claude-detect-fallback.test.ts`.
+- **fix(cli):** per-agent AgentBridge DNS toggle was broken for 8 of the 9 supported agents, and a failed MITM startup step could orphan the spawned proxy child — `addDNSEntry`/`removeDNSEntry` (`src/mitm/dns/dnsConfig.ts`) always resolved the legacy Antigravity default hosts regardless of which agent's toggle was flipped, so enabling DNS for Cursor/Codex/Claude Code/etc. silently added only `daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com` while the DB recorded `dns_enabled=true` for the selected agent. Both functions now accept an optional `agentId` and resolve hosts via `ALL_TARGETS`; `POST /api/tools/agent-bridge/agents/[id]/dns` passes the route's `id` through and now returns 404 for an id that doesn't match a known target instead of silently falling back. Separately, `startMitmInternal()` (`src/mitm/manager.ts`) now wraps `generateCert()` (log + rethrow), the `provisionDnsEntries()` call, and the PID-file write in try/catch so a mid-startup failure can't orphan the already-spawned MITM child process. On Windows, `addDNSEntries`/`removeDNSEntries` also batch every missing/present entry into a single elevated PowerShell invocation instead of one UAC prompt per host line. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dns-config-generic.test.ts` (agent-specific resolution + batching), `tests/unit/agent-bridge-dns-route-validation.test.ts` (404 for unknown agent id). ([#6338](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6338) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **fix(guardrails):** Vision Bridge's individual-model auto-reroute (route an image-bearing request straight to a vision-capable model instead of describe-then-forward) could bypass a policy-restricted API key's model allowlist/budget ([#6640](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6640)) — `VisionBridgeGuardrail.preCall()` (`src/lib/guardrails/visionBridge.ts`) swaps `body.model` to the best available vision-capable model, but that swap happens in the guardrail pipeline AFTER `chat.ts` already called `enforceApiKeyPolicy()` against the ORIGINAL model, so a key scoped to a narrow `allowedModels` list could still execute against an unvetted (and possibly costlier) vision model the reroute picked. `chat.ts` now re-validates any guardrail-driven model change against the same per-key allowlist (`isModelAllowedForKey`) before honoring it, falling back to the original already-approved model when the reroute target is not allowed. The reroute path also now honors an explicit `settings.visionBridgeModel` operator override (previously ignored, unlike the combo/describe path a few lines below it, which already respects it via `getVisionBridgeConfig`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/guardrails/visionBridge.test.ts` (22 tests). (thanks @herjarsa)
+- **fix(auth):** an API key restricted via `allowedModels`/`allowedCombos` could bypass that restriction entirely over the Codex Responses-over-WebSocket bridge ([#6564](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6564)) — `prepare()` in `src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts` authenticated the WS bridge's API key (`authenticate()`/`authorizeWebSocketHandshake()`) and honored `allowedConnections`, but never called `enforceApiKeyPolicy()`, the same model/combo policy gate the HTTP `/v1/responses` path enforces via `handleChat()` — so a key scoped to e.g. `combo/model-1.0` could still reach a direct Codex model like `gpt-5.5` through this transport, as long as an eligible Codex OAuth connection existed. The bridge's WS auth token arrives via query params (`api_key`/`token`/`access_token`), not a normal `Authorization` header, so a new `enforceCodexWsApiKeyPolicy()` builds an equivalent `Request` carrying an explicit `Authorization: Bearer <apiKey>` header and calls `enforceApiKeyPolicy()` against the CLIENT-requested model, before any Codex-specific model remapping or credential selection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-ws-policy-enforcement-6564.test.ts` (a model-restricted key is rejected 403 before reaching credential selection; a combo-restricted key is rejected 403 requesting a disallowed combo; a key that DOES allow the requested model still proceeds past policy). (thanks @Squawk7777 for the report and an independent fix via #6565)
+- **fix(security):** loopback-gate `/api/middleware/*` so a leaked JWT over a tunnel can't install or trigger a middleware hook — middleware hooks compile + run arbitrary JS via `new vm.Script` on the request hot path (`src/lib/middleware/registry.ts`), the same RCE class as the already-gated `/api/plugins/*`; `/api/middleware/` is now in `LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` so loopback enforcement runs unconditionally before any auth check (Hard Rules #15 + #17). Regression guard: `tests/unit/route-guard-middleware-local-only.test.ts`. ([#6541](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6541)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(startup):** AgentBridge's MITM server no longer fails to start with `ROUTER_API_KEY is required` on a normal install ([#6403](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6403)) — `POST /api/tools/agent-bridge/server` resolved the spawned MITM child's router key from only an explicit `apiKey` body field (never sent by the AgentBridge UI — the schema has no such field) and the `ROUTER_API_KEY` env var (unset by default), so `startMitm()` always received `""` and the child hard-exited, even though OmniRoute already had a usable API key in its own DB. A new `resolveRouterApiKey()` now falls back to `pickApiKeyForInternalUse()` (the same DB-backed selector the combo-health-check / cloud-sync internal probes use), resolving in order: explicit key → `ROUTER_API_KEY` env → an existing DB key. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentbridge-mitm-router-key-6403.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** deploying a Cloudflare relay Worker from Dashboard → System → Proxy pool → Cloudflare relay failed immediately with `Cloudflare Worker upload failed: Content-Type must be one of: application/javascript, text/javascript, multipart/form-data`, even with a valid token/account ([#6416](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6416)) — the Worker-script upload built a native `FormData` and let `fetch` derive the multipart Content-Type automatically, but in production `globalThis.fetch` is patched with `node_modules/undici`'s own fetch (`open-sse/utils/proxyFetch.ts`), whose `FormData`/`Request` classes differ from the runtime's global `FormData` (same cross-realm class mismatch already fixed once for image edits in #3273); passing a native `FormData` instance through undici's patched fetch made it serialize the body as the literal string `"[object FormData]"` with `Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8`, which Cloudflare rejects outright. `buildCloudflareWorkerUploadRequest()` (`src/lib/proxyRelay/cloudflareWorkerScript.ts`) now builds the multipart body as a raw `Buffer` with an explicit boundary and `Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=…` header, accepted verbatim by any fetch implementation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloudflare-worker-upload-content-type-6416.test.ts` + updated `tests/unit/relay-deploy-5128.test.ts`.
+- **fix(security):** SSRF-guard the provider-validation probes so they can no longer be used as an open relay to cloud-metadata endpoints — `directHttpsRequest()` (web-cookie / NVIDIA / Z.AI validation, all with a caller-controllable `baseUrl`) ran with `guard:"none"` + `allowRedirect:true`; it now applies `getProviderValidationGuard()` (default `block-metadata`: LAN/localhost allowed, `169.254.169.254`/link-local IMDS rejected, opt-out via `OMNIROUTE_ALLOW_PRIVATE_PROVIDER_URLS`) and `allowRedirect:false` so a provider can't 3xx-redirect the probe to metadata past the initial-URL guard. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-validation-ssrf-guard.test.ts`. ([#6542](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6542)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(startup):** AgentBridge's MITM proxy served a mismatched cert for 3 of the 4 antigravity/cloudcode-pa hosts it terminates TLS for, breaking interception ([#6494](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6494)) — `src/mitm/server.cjs`'s `TARGET_HOSTS` decrypts all 4 hosts locally (`daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`, `cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`, `daily-cloudcode-pa.sandbox.googleapis.com`, `autopush-cloudcode-pa.sandbox.googleapis.com`), but `src/mitm/cert/generate.ts`'s self-signed cert only carried a SAN entry for the first host — a request to any of the other 3 got served a cert whose CN/SAN didn't match (confirmed via `curl -k https://cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com/` showing `CN=daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`). `generateCert()` now sources its host list from `ANTIGRAVITY_TARGET.hosts` (`src/mitm/targets/antigravity.ts`, the single authoritative registry already kept in lock-step with `server.cjs`/`dnsConfig.ts`/`mitmToolHosts.ts` by their own drift tests) and emits a SAN entry for all 4 hosts instead of hard-coding a second, incomplete copy. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentbridge-antigravity-cert-hosts-6494.test.ts` (asserts the host list covers all 4 hosts and that the real generated cert's SAN includes each one).
+- **fix(resilience):** a `priority` combo never fell back when a target masked credit/quota exhaustion behind an HTTP 200 ([#6427](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6427)) — `validateResponseQuality()` (`open-sse/services/combo/validateQuality.ts`) only inspected the response body's top-level `error` field when `choices` was ALSO missing/empty (the narrower #3424 empty-completion case); a masked 200 that echoed a non-empty stub `choices` alongside a structured error object, or a known exhaustion phrase (e.g. "insufficient credits", "quota exceeded") in the error envelope, slipped through as "valid" and the combo kept returning the dead target's response forever instead of failing over. The quality check now inspects the error envelope — a top-level OpenAI-shape `error` object, or a bounded, case-insensitive exhaustion-phrase match against `error.message`/`error.code`/`error.type`/top-level `message`/`detail` — unconditionally, before any shape-specific branch, and regardless of whether `choices`/`output` also look structurally present. The check never inspects `choices[].message.content`, so a legitimate completion that merely mentions "quota" or "credits" in assistant prose is not misclassified. Regression guard: `tests/unit/masked-200-exhaustion-fallback-6427.test.ts`.
+- **fix(security):** fail-closed CORS for the cookie/session-authed cloud-agent management routes — `getCloudAgentCorsHeaders()` reflected any caller's `Origin` and paired it with `Allow-Credentials: true` (a CSRF/exfil hole); it now defers to the central allowlist (`resolveAllowedOrigin`), echoes only an allowlisted origin with `Vary: Origin`, and emits `Allow-Credentials` only for an explicitly allowlisted origin — never for a `CORS_ALLOW_ALL` wildcard echo. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloud-agent-cors-failclosed.test.ts`. ([#6543](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6543)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(compression):** adaptive-compression ladder ranked 6 real catalog engines (`ccr`, `ionizer`, `relevance`, `llmlingua`, `llm`, `read-lifecycle`) as if they didn't exist ([#6533](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6533)) — `ladder.ts`'s `AGGRESSIVENESS` and `REDUCTION_FACTOR` maps only covered the 7 engines wired into `DEFAULT_LADDER` (session-dedup/rtk/headroom/lite/caveman/aggressive/ultra); every other engine registered in `open-sse/services/compression/engines/index.ts` — including `ccr`/`llmlingua`, which the ladder doc comment already says are intentionally addable via `ladderOverride` — fell through to `aggressivenessOf()`'s `?? 0` default (same rank as `"off"`) and `expectedReductionFactor()`'s generic `?? 0.9` fallback, so `floor`-mode escalation could not rank or escalate past them once added to a custom ladder. Both maps now carry entries for all 6 missing real engines, rescaled ×10 (`off:0` … `ultra:70`) and placed by each engine's documented `stackPriority` (`ionizer` between `rtk`/`headroom`, `relevance` before `caveman`, `llmlingua`/`llm` between `aggressive` and `ultra`, etc.); `mcpAccessibility` — named in the report — is not a registered `CompressionEngine` (it's a separate MCP tool-response truncation mechanism) and was correctly left out. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ladder-engine-maps-6533.test.ts` (asserts every id from `listCompressionEngines()` ranks above `"off"` with a non-default reduction factor). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** tool-call arguments could render as `[object Object]` sequences instead of the real JSON through the `/anthropic` (Anthropic-shape `/messages`) routing path ([#6459](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6459)) — `appendToolCallArgumentDelta()` (`open-sse/utils/toolCallArguments.ts`), the shared accumulator the streaming `openai-to-claude` response translator, `openai-responses` translator, and `responsesTransformer` all call to build up a tool call's `arguments`/`input_json_delta` buffer, treated any non-string `incoming` fragment as an empty string. Some upstreams deliver the full `tool_calls[].function.arguments` value as an already-parsed JSON object/array instead of the OpenAI-contracted JSON-encoded string; the old code silently discarded that fragment, leaving `tool_use.input` empty, and left downstream buffers open to a plain string coercion of the object (`[object Object]`) once client-side concatenation kicked in. `appendToolCallArgumentDelta()` now `JSON.stringify()`s a non-string, non-null object/array fragment into a valid JSON fragment instead of dropping it, so the assembled `partial_json` always parses back into the original structured value. Regression guard: `tests/unit/anthropic-toolcall-args-6459.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(providers):** `fusion` combo returned the opaque `"All fusion panel models failed"` 503 even when only a minority of panel members were actually cooling down / rate-limited, and a user-supplied `fusionTuning.minPanel=1` was silently overridden ([#6454](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6454)) — `handleFusionChat()` hard-clamped the quorum floor via `Math.min(Math.max(2, cfg.minPanel), panel.length)`, so an operator-configured `minPanel=1` never took effect: `collectPanel()`'s straggler-grace timer only starts once `ok >= minPanel`, and with the floor forced to 2 a single fast success plus N slow-failing stragglers never reached quorum, so the panel sat waiting instead of degrading to the survivor. Per-member failure reasons (`straggler_dropped`/`timeout`/`threw`/`status_XXX`/`empty_content`/`unparseable`) were also logged server-side but never surfaced in the 503 body, leaving operators unable to tell a rate-limit fan-fail from a broader outage. Fixed by honoring `Math.max(1, cfg.minPanel)` and threading a `failures: Array<{ model, reason }>` collector into the 503 message (`model=reason` per entry) — production fix already merged via #6521; this entry backfills the missing CHANGELOG bullet and adds an 11-member, `fusion-free`-scale regression test matching the original repro shape (a cooling minority must not sink a healthy majority; a genuinely all-failed panel still returns the documented 503). Regression guard: `tests/unit/services/fusion-min-panel-and-failure-detail.test.ts` + `tests/unit/fusion-partial-panel-failure-6454.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(providers):** `fusion` combo strategy silently returned a panel member's raw answer instead of the configured `config.judgeModel` synthesis ([#6455](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6455)) — `handleFusionChat()`'s single-survivor "degrade gracefully" path (added for #6454) returned the lone panel answer directly whenever only one panelist succeeded, regardless of whether an explicit `judgeModel` was configured; with the default `minPanel: 2` and a 2-model panel, any single flaky/rate-limited panelist forced this path on every request, so the configured judge (e.g. `auto/claude-opus`) was never invoked and the client-visible `.model` reflected whichever panelist happened to survive. The judge is now still invoked to synthesize a lone surviving answer whenever `judgeModel` is explicitly configured; the cheap direct-answer shortcut is kept only for the implicit case (no `judgeModel` set, where the "judge" is just `panel[0]`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/fusion-judge-model-6455.test.ts` + updated `tests/unit/combo-fusion-strategy.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(combo):** sanitized diagnostic trace on an auto-combo terminal failure — instead of an opaque 503, a terminal combo failure now returns a whitelist-projected trace (candidate pool size, attempted count, excluded provider/reason codes, attempt order, and a terminal-reason code) via the new `errorResponseWithComboDiagnostics()`/`sanitizeComboDiagnostics()` in `open-sse/utils/error.ts` — provider/model ids and enumerated reason codes only, never keys/tokens/bodies, length- and count-capped. A reasoning-budget-exhausted panel now returns an actionable "increase max_tokens" message rather than a blind retry-limit 503. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-diagnostics-trace.test.ts`. ([#6545](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6545)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** image/diffusion models discovered from an upstream catalog (e.g. HuggingFace's live `/v1/models`) are no longer advertised as chat models ([#6457](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6457)) — the chat catalog builder defaulted synced models with no modality info to `endpoints: ["chat"]`, so `huggingface/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0` showed up in the chat `/v1/models` listing and returned `400 "not a chat model"` when called. `catalog.ts` now skips any synced model already registered as an image model for that provider (via the new `isRegisteredImageModel()`), leaving `getAllImageModels()` to list it with the correct `type: "image"`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/image-model-not-in-chat-catalog-6457.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** combo session stickiness never released a pin on a credits-exhausted/banned/expired account, permanently defeating failover for that conversation ([#6692](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6692)) — `applySessionStickiness()` (`open-sse/services/combo/sessionStickiness.ts`) gated the sticky pin only on 5h/weekly usage-percentage headroom, which is orthogonal to account availability: a `credits_exhausted`/`banned`/`expired` connection, or one still inside its `rateLimitedUntil` cooldown, reports perfectly healthy headroom, so the pin was force-promoted back to the front of the target list on every subsequent turn. `clearStickyBinding()` also had zero call sites in `combo.ts`'s failure paths, so a quality-validation-rejected 200 (a masked daily-cap refusal) never released the pin either. The gate now also resolves the bound connection's terminal status/cooldown via a new injectable fetcher seam (fail-open on lookup errors, mirroring the existing saturation fetcher), and `combo.ts`'s two dispatchers (`handleComboChat`/`handleRoundRobinCombo`) release the pin immediately at both their connection-exhaustion classification point and their quality-validation-failure branch via the new `releaseStickyPinOnFailure()`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6692-sticky-terminal.test.ts` + extended `tests/unit/combo-session-stickiness.test.ts`.
+- **fix(test):** replace the bare `expect(true).toBe(true)` tautology in `playground-api-tab.test.tsx`'s SSE test and close the `check:test-masking` gap that let it slip through for a full cycle ([#6404](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6404)) — a prior pass (#6548) had already swapped the literal to `expect(sendBtn).toBeDefined()`, but that stayed just as vacuous: the test's fetch mock returned an empty `/v1/models` list, so `ApiTab`'s Send button is always `disabled` (`!selectedModel`) and the SSE branch never runs — the "SSE infra is verified" comment was never true. The test now mocks a real model, drives the model `<select>` to enable Send, asserts `sendBtn.disabled === false` before clicking, and asserts the streamed SSE delta (`"Hello!"`) actually reached the response editor. Root cause on the detector side: `check-test-masking.mjs`'s tautology subcheck only compares base-vs-HEAD counts within a PR's own diff (`headExtTaut > baseExtTaut`) and no-ops locally when `GITHUB_BASE_SHA`/`GITHUB_BASE_REF` are unset ("sem base ref — pulando") — so a tautology merged once, or checked with a bare local run, was invisible forever after. Added a new always-on, PR-independent absolute-floor scan (`scanBareTautologies` + `countBareTautologies`) over every git-tracked test file for the bare `expect(true).toBe(true)` / `assert.equal(1,1)` / `assert.strictEqual(1,1)` patterns specifically (deliberately excluding `assert.ok(true)`, which has ~15 pre-existing verified-legitimate try/catch-fallback uses repo-wide and stays governed by the lenient diff-only subcheck) — verified zero pre-existing hits repo-wide once this file was fixed, so the new floor is safe to enforce unconditionally. Regression guard: `tests/unit/check-test-masking.test.ts` (new `scanBareTautologies`/`countBareTautologies` cases) + `tests/unit/ui/playground-api-tab.test.tsx`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(oauth):** Codex/ChatGPT (and every other OAuth provider) connection stays stuck showing "Auth Failed" even after a genuinely successful token refresh ([#6352](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6352)) — `updateProviderCredentials()` (the shared `onPersist` callback for the manual "Refresh token" route, the reactive per-request refresh in `chat.ts`, and the Codex/Claude auth-file importers) correctly reused the stored `refresh_token`, persisted the new `access_token`, and replaced a rotated `refresh_token`, but never cleared the stale `testStatus`/`lastError*`/`errorCode` fields left over from a prior expired/invalid refresh or upstream 401/403 — only the separate background health-check sweep did that clearing. A successful refresh now resets `testStatus` to `"active"` and clears `lastError`, `lastErrorAt`, `lastErrorType`, `lastErrorSource`, and `errorCode` (an explicit `testStatus` from the caller still wins). Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-oauth-refresh-persist-6352.test.ts`.
+- **perf(health):** short-TTL (1s) cache for the frequently-polled `GET /api/monitoring/health` payload — rebuilding it every request (DB reads + status aggregation across 8 subsystems) was wasteful under rapid polling; the cache stays near-real-time and is invalidated immediately on `DELETE` (circuit-breaker reset) so a manual reset is reflected at once. Regression guard: `tests/integration/monitoring-health-cache.test.ts`. ([#6553](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6553)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(resilience):** `headroom` combo routing did not always select the Codex account with the most free quota ([#6379](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6379)) — `orderTargetsByHeadroom` (`open-sse/services/combo/quotaStrategies.ts`) already loaded the per-connection DB snapshot (with decrypted credentials) via `expandTargetsByQuotaAwareConnections`, but discarded it before calling `getSaturation`; for Codex, `fetchCodexSaturation` forwards straight to `fetchCodexQuota(connectionId, connection)`, which needs `connection` (or a prior `registerCodexConnection()` call, which never happens before headroom ranking runs) to read `accessToken` — so it returned `null` for every candidate, saturation failed open to `0` across the board, and ranking fell back to the original combo order regardless of actual free quota. `getSaturation()` and the headroom `SaturationFetcher` seam now accept and thread the loaded connection snapshot through to `fetchCodexQuota`. Kilo's dup flag vs #5903 was a false positive — that issue is about session-sticky reset-aware/least-used selection, not headroom's Codex saturation lookup. Regression guard: `tests/unit/headroom-codex-quota-snapshot-6379.test.ts`. (thanks @eidoog)
+- **fix(providers):** custom models a provider actually has are no longer dropped from the Free Provider Rankings when both **"Configured only"** and **"Available only"** filters are applied ([#6368](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6368)), follow-up to #6150 — `freeProviderRankings.ts::getProviderModels()` only ever walked the static `open-sse/config/providerRegistry.ts` catalog, so a user-added custom model (e.g. a Puter `claude-fable-5` model saved as "Claude Fable 5") never entered the candidate model list the ranking scores against, and could never survive the #6150 configured/available filters even when actually configured and available. It now additively merges the provider's custom models (`db/models.ts::getCustomModels`) into that candidate list via a new pure, de-duping `mergeProviderModels()` helper, before scoring/filtering runs — catalog free/paid filtering elsewhere is untouched. Regression guard: `tests/unit/free-provider-rankings-custom-models-6368.test.ts`. (thanks @shabeer)
+- **fix(playground):** accept a valid dashboard session for `GET/POST /api/playground/presets` under `REQUIRE_API_KEY=true` — the Playground page calls this route with a cookie/session and no API key, which previously 401'd the authenticated dashboard; `checkAuth()` now accepts a management/dashboard session (`requireManagementAuth`) as an alternative to an API key, while a presented API key must still be valid and the anonymous-allowed default is preserved. Regression guard: `tests/integration/presets-dashboard-auth.test.ts`. ([#6554](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6554)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** `cloudflare-ai` no longer silently drops image/non-text content parts ([#6390](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6390)) — `transformRequest()`'s `flattenContent()` (added for #2539 to satisfy the Workers AI `/ai/v1/chat/completions` plain-string `content` requirement) mapped any non-text OpenAI content part (e.g. `image_url`) to `""` and joined the rest, so a request carrying an image quietly went out as text-only with the attachment gone and no error surfaced. It now throws a clear error on the first non-text part instead of dropping it silently, which the existing top-level `chatCore.ts` catch already routes through `buildErrorBody()`/`sanitizeErrorMessage()` (same pattern as `buildUrl()`'s missing-Account-ID error). Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloudflare-ai-image-parts-6390.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** stop Antigravity connections from falsely reporting **all-accounts quota-exhausted** ([#6295](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6295)) — `genericQuotaFetcher.ts::percentUsedForQuota()` ignored the `fractionReported` flag and defaulted an unreported model's `remainingPercentage` to 0, which computed as 100% used; since `convertUsageToQuotaInfo()` takes the worst-case window across a connection, a single model with no reported fraction dragged the whole account into `limitReached` and `quotaPreflight` skipped it. `percentUsedForQuota()` now returns `null` (unknown, window ignored) whenever `fractionReported === false`, before falling back to `remainingPercentage`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/generic-quota-fetcher.test.ts`.
+- **fix(fusion):** the fusion judge no longer replays a panel member's answer via an idempotency-key collision — fusion's panel + judge sub-requests re-enter `chatCore` sharing the client's headers, so they derived the same `Idempotency-Key`/`x-request-id` and a panel answer saved under the key was replayed by the judge's check ~1ms later (inside the 5s window), returning a panel member's answer instead of the judge synthesis (observed live on `nexa/conversation-fusion`). `composeIdempotencyKey()` now namespaces the key by target provider/model + a digest of the request messages, so sub-requests can't collide while a genuine client retry (same key/model/body) still replays. Regression guard: `tests/unit/idempotency-fusion-collision.test.ts`. ([#6558](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6558)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** grok-cli (Grok Build) now strips `reasoning_effort`/`reasoning` before forwarding the request ([#6288](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6288)) — Claude Code sends `reasoning_effort` on every request (routing the Opus slot), which Grok Build's upstream chat-proxy endpoint rejects with a 400; `transformRequest()`'s existing `UNSUPPORTED` sampling-param strip list (#5273) never covered it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/grok-cli-reasoning-strip-6288.test.ts`.
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute serve` no longer hangs silently on a readiness timeout ([#6321](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6321)) — the child server's stdout was piped to `"ignore"` whenever `--log`/`OMNIROUTE_SHOW_LOG` wasn't set (the default), discarding any debug output, and `runWithSupervisor`'s `waitForServer(...).then((up) => { if (up) {...} })` had no `else` branch, so a boot that never became ready produced zero further output after "⏳ Starting server...". Stdout is now buffered alongside stderr (`ServerSupervisor.getRecentLog()`), and a timeout prints a clear diagnostic plus the buffered output instead of staying silent. Does not by itself explain why boot never completes on a given machine — see the issue for further reproduction. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli-serve-readiness-timeout-6321.test.ts`.
+- **fix(pricing):** Pricing Sync dashboard no longer stuck on "Next Sync: Never" / "Synced Models: 0" ([#6325](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6325)) — `pricingSync.ts` kept sync state (`lastSyncTime`, `lastSyncModelCount`) in module-level vars, but the background periodic sync (`instrumentation-node.ts`) and the dashboard status route (`/api/pricing/sync`) each import the module from separate Next.js standalone webpack chunks, giving each its own independent state; `getSyncStatus()` read the (empty) API-route instance's vars. Sync status is now additionally persisted to a new `pricing_sync_status` `key_value` namespace and `getSyncStatus()` falls back to it when the local module instance never ran a sync itself. Regression guard: `tests/unit/pricing-sync-cross-instance.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** stop spuriously 403-ing "Invalid request origin" on `POST /api/providers/health-autopilot/actions` for Docker/LAN dashboard requests ([#6277](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6277)) — the route carried a duplicate per-route `validateBrowserMutationOrigin` check re-added by the v3.8.42 release squash after PR #5278 centralized origin enforcement in the authz pipeline; the pipeline strips `PEER_IP_HEADER` before forwarding, so the stale duplicate check could no longer resolve the LAN "direct-local-host" candidate and rejected legitimate same-origin LAN mutations (e.g. clicking "remove cooldown" when accessed via a LAN IP). Removed the duplicate check — origin validation is now solely enforced by the centralized pipeline check, which already handles this case correctly. Regression guard: `tests/unit/serial/provider-health-autopilot.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** a bare, unrecognized `403` from a no-credential (`authType:"none"`) provider like mimocode or theoldllm no longer permanently bans the connection ([#6315](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6315), [#6345](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6345)) — `classifyProviderError()`'s 403 branch only exempted `apikey` providers from the terminal `FORBIDDEN` classification, so these free/stateless proxies (no real account/credential to revoke) fell through to `FORBIDDEN` on the first unmatched 403 and got `isActive:false, testStatus:"banned"` with no cooldown or retry. The exemption now also covers `authType:"none"` providers, returning `null` (recoverable) so the existing connection-cooldown/retry layer handles it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/errorClassifier-noauth-403-6315.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** the **Auggie (Augment CLI)** executor no longer fails on Windows with `spawn EINVAL` ([#6304](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6304)) — the global-npm install exposes `auggie` as a `.cmd` shim, which Node's `child_process.spawn` cannot launch on win32 without `shell: true`. Both spawn sites (streaming + the `auggie --version` test) now go through a shared `buildAuggieSpawnOptions()` that sets `shell: process.platform === "win32"`; the argv (built by `buildAuggieArgs()` with a registry-validated `model` and a trailing `--` end-of-options marker) is unchanged, so the argument-injection surface stays closed on non-Windows. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auggie-win32-spawn-6304.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** the dashboard **"Test model"** action is now a clean connection test ([#6240](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6240)) — `modelTestRunner` sent its probe request without an explicit compression override, so whenever the operator's global `compression.enabled` flag was on the test call inherited compression (and any Output-Styles system prompt), polluting the result. The internal test requests now send `X-OmniRoute-Compression: off`, and `chatCore` honors an explicit `off` header even when `compression.enabled` is globally true. Regression guards: `tests/unit/model-test-runner-compression-off-6240.test.ts`, `tests/integration/test-model-compression-off-6240.test.ts`.
+- **fix(startup):** an update/restart could crash the whole server at boot with `TypeError: Cannot create property 'message' on string 'Database closed'`, masking the real failure and 500-ing every request until manually restarted ([#6560](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6560), plausibly the root cause of #6594's post-upgrade 500) — `driverFactory.ts::preInitSqlJs()` cached its sql.js WASM adapter per file path in a `globalThis`-backed map for idempotency, but never checked whether the cached adapter had since been closed (e.g. by `gracefulShutdown`/`resetDbInstance` racing a reload); reusing that dead handle made the very next query throw sql.js's own bare string `"Database closed"` (not an `Error`) straight out of `instrumentation-node.ts`'s previously-unguarded `ensureDbInitialized()` call, and Next.js's internal `registerInstrumentation()` wrapper unconditionally does `err.message = ...` on whatever `register()` rejects with — assigning `.message` on a primitive string throws in strict mode, so the secondary `TypeError` is what actually crashed the process. Fixed in two parts: `preInitSqlJs()` now evicts a closed cached adapter and creates a fresh one instead of returning it; a new `ensureDbReadyForBoot()` wraps the DB-init call, normalizes any non-Error throw via `normalizeBootError()`, and retries once specifically for a transient "database closed" message (now succeeding against the fresh adapter) before re-throwing anything else as a real `Error`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/instrumentation-database-closed-6560.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/keys` no longer hangs 20–90+ seconds on a fresh install, even with valid auth ([#6570](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6570)) — `cloudEnabled` defaults to `true` in `src/lib/db/settings.ts::getSettings()` on any install with no persisted settings row (i.e. every fresh install), so the create-key handler's unconditional `await syncKeysToCloudIfEnabled()` always attempted a real outbound `fetch()` to `CLOUD_URL` via `syncToCloud()`; when that endpoint is unset/unreachable/slow, the HTTP response blocked until the request settled or timed out — unlike sibling routes (`POST /api/keys/:id/regenerate`, `GET /api/combos`), which never touch this side effect at all. `src/app/api/keys/route.ts` now dispatches `syncKeysToCloudIfEnabled()` fire-and-forget (`void`) instead of awaiting it; its internal try/catch already logs failures, so cloud sync still runs, it just no longer blocks the response. Regression guard: `tests/unit/api-keys-create-no-hang-6570.test.ts` (asserts the route resolves in well under 2s even when the Cloud-sync `fetch()` is stubbed to never settle) + updated `tests/integration/api-keys.test.ts` (the pre-existing "triggers cloud sync"/"still succeeds when cloud sync fails" tests, which previously hung indefinitely on this exact path, now await the fire-and-forget sync tick before asserting).
+- **fix(api):** editing any existing OpenAI Codex provider connection in the dashboard returned "Invalid request" and the edit could never be saved ([#6562](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6562)) — `createProviderConnection()` (`src/lib/db/providers.ts`) auto-increments a new connection's `priority` to `MAX(priority)+1` per provider with no upper bound, and OAuth-imported connections (Codex `codex-auth/import` / `import-bulk`, up to 50 accounts per call, callable repeatedly — the standard Codex bulk-account-rotation workflow) never pass through `createProviderSchema`'s Zod validation at all, so nothing ever capped that value; `EditConnectionModal`'s `handleSubmit` always resends the connection's current `priority` unchanged on every save, and `updateProviderConnectionSchema` capped `priority`/`globalPriority` at `max(100)` — a UI-only ceiling the create path never enforced — so the first edit of any connection whose priority had already grown past 100 (routine once a Codex account count exceeds 100) failed validation regardless of which field the user actually changed. Raised the ceiling to `max(100_000)` on both fields — still bounded (a genuinely out-of-range value is still rejected), just wide enough to accept priorities the app itself already produces. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-connection-edit-6562.test.ts` (a Codex OAuth connection whose priority already exceeds the old 100 cap now validates + persists on edit; a control payload with a still-genuinely-invalid priority is still rejected with "Invalid request").
+- **mimocode**: rotate accounts on MiMoCode's rate-limit-style 400s (body-classified) instead of failing on the first account; malformed 400s still fail fast with the real upstream error (#6648 — thanks @pizzav-xyz)
+- **fix(cli):** compression CLI REST fallback now reads/writes the canonical `defaultMode` field (surfaced as `strategy`) instead of a nonexistent `engine` key, and table output renders nested objects as JSON instead of `[object Object]` (#6571 — thanks @charleszolot)
+- **fix(providers):** web-cookie providers without a `providerRegistry.ts` entry (`lmarena`, `gemini-business`, `poe-web`, `venice-web`, `v0-vercel-web`) now report `unsupported: true` instead of silently "OK" ([#6309](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6309)) — `validateWebCookieProvider()` (`src/lib/providers/validation.ts`) previously required a registry entry and returned "Provider not found in registry" for these; a fallback to `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS[provider].website` was proposed, but live verification showed the `${website}/models` probe does not reliably signal session validity for these providers (redirects/SPA 200s regardless of cookie validity — e.g. lmarena's real API is `arena.ai`, not `lmarena.ai`; Poe's real endpoint is a GraphQL POST, not a REST `/models`), so it would report an expired or garbage cookie as valid. Until each provider has a verified, side-effect-free auth probe against its real API host, the fallback now returns `unsupported` (no network call) instead of a false positive. Regression guard: `tests/unit/web-cookie-validation-fallback.test.ts`. (thanks @oyi77)
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/middleware/hooks` and `PUT /api/middleware/hooks/[name]` no longer leak raw internal error messages in their 500 responses (#6645 — thanks @chirag127) — both catch blocks returned `error?.message` directly (Hard Rule #12), which could surface internal SQLite path fragments on a DB failure; both now route through `sanitizeErrorMessage()` from `open-sse/utils/error.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/middleware-hooks-error-sanitization.test.ts`.
+- **fix(docker):** compile better-sqlite3 for the server Docker image (Dokploy/self-hosted builds) via a direct `node-gyp rebuild` inside `node_modules/better-sqlite3`, instead of `npm rebuild better-sqlite3` ([#6700](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6700)) — the `builder` stage installs dependencies with `npm ci --ignore-scripts` (deliberate: closes the supply-chain surface where a transitive dep's install script runs arbitrary code) and re-enables the native build for the one package that needs it; `npm rebuild <pkg>` re-runs that indirectly through the package's own install script, which under npm 11 depends on npm's script-allowlist machinery correctly re-enabling it — some self-hosted build environments (e.g. Dokploy) hit a broken/mismatched native binding through that indirection. Invoking `node-gyp rebuild` directly bypasses npm's script-running layer entirely and is deterministic regardless of npm version. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dockerfile-better-sqlite3-node-gyp-6700.test.ts`. (thanks @nowhats-br)
+- **fix(providers):** the Cloudflare relay Worker deploy fix in #6416/#6618 still failed uploads in practice — it changed the multipart Content-Type but kept the emitted worker source as an ES module (`export default { fetch(...) }`) with `main_module` metadata; Cloudflare's Workers upload API parses a plain `application/javascript` script part as Service Worker syntax regardless of the `main_module` metadata field, and `main_module` requires the script to actually be an ES module (top-level `export`), so the mismatch still rejected the upload ([#6496](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6496)). `buildCloudflareWorkerScript()` (`src/lib/proxyRelay/cloudflareWorkerScript.ts`) now emits Service Worker syntax (`addEventListener("fetch", ...)`, no top-level `export`) and the upload metadata uses `body_part` instead of `main_module`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/relay-deploy-5128.test.ts` (asserts the emitted script has no `export default`, registers a `fetch` listener, and the upload metadata carries `body_part`/omits `main_module`; also proves the inlined `isPrivateHostname()` SSRF guard still rejects bracketed IPv6 loopback/ULA hosts like `[::1]`/`[fd00::1]` after the script-body rewrite). (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **fix(providers):** ChatGPT Web (`chatgpt-web`) responses rendered raw ChatGPT UI citation markup — private-use marker tokens (e.g. `citeturn0search0`) and `url…` inline-link markers — instead of real Markdown links, since these only ever get resolved client-side by chatgpt.com's own JS using `message.metadata.content_references` ([#6635](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6635)) — `cleanChatGptText()` now resolves `content_references` (grouped webpages, footnote sources, inline `webpage`/`url` mentions) into `[label](url)` Markdown links for both the streaming and non-streaming response builders, and for the GPT-5.5 Pro `stream_handoff` polled-answer path, falling back to stripping any marker that has no resolvable source instead of leaking the raw private-use bytes. The citation parsing/rendering logic was extracted into a new pure sibling module (`open-sse/executors/chatgpt-web/citations.ts`) to keep the executor under the frozen file-size cap. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chatgpt-web-citations.test.ts` (non-streaming citation resolution, streaming marker buffering across split SSE chunks, and the Pro-handoff polled-answer path). (thanks @Thinkscape)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the live-dashboard WebSocket descriptor handshake (`GET /api/v1/ws?handshake=1`) and the lightweight `GET /api/health/ping` liveness probe both 401'd for unauthenticated callers, even though both are metadata-only reads intended to be public ([#6335](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6335)) — `clientApiPolicy` required a bearer/dashboard-session before the WS route handler could even return its own `wsAuth`/protocol descriptor, and `/api/health/ping` was never added to `PUBLIC_READONLY_API_ROUTE_PREFIXES` despite its own docstring documenting it as "No auth required." `clientApiPolicy.evaluate()` now allows an anonymous `{kind:"anonymous", id:"ws-handshake"}` subject for GET/HEAD/OPTIONS on `/api/v1/ws?handshake=1` (the route handler still performs its own real wsAuth/dashboard/API-key decision before opening the socket), and `/api/health/ping` is now in `PUBLIC_READONLY_API_ROUTE_PREFIXES`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/authz/client-api-policy.test.ts` (WS handshake allowed, including relative request URLs), `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`, and `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts` (`/api/health/ping` classified `PUBLIC`). (thanks @JxnLexn)
+- fix(providers): wire the Devin cloud-agent provider into the generic provider-page validator and static model catalog, matching the existing `jules` cloud-agent pattern (#6142)

+- **fix(providers):** modernize the `lmarena` provider for the Arena.ai rebrand — route chat through `arena.ai` create-evaluation with Chrome TLS impersonation, seed a static Direct-chat Text/Search + Image catalog, and keep the `lmarena`/`lma` wire id for back-compat ([#6280](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6280)) — thanks @backryun
+- **fix(providers):** web-provider model discovery updated — qwen-web uses the slash-terminated models endpoint (avoiding a blocked 307 redirect), and kimi-web matches the current request shape (POST with bearer + `kimi-auth` cookie replay) with its catalog refreshed to the current non-agent models (#6308 — thanks @janeza2).

+- **fix(routing):** the `auto` combo's no-auth candidate pool now honors a disabled provider connection's own `isActive=false` (the toggle on the main Providers grid card), not just the separate global `blockedProviders` setting — disabling opencode/mimocode/etc. via the grid toggle no longer leaves it in rotation ([#6557](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6557)).
+- **fix(sse):** server-tool literal names (e.g. `web_search`) are preserved in message history and `tool_choice` instead of being namespaced/rewritten, so follow-up turns referencing those tools keep working (#6586 — thanks @MikeTuev).

+- **fix(antigravity):** surface aborted/malformed Gemini tool calls (e.g. `MALFORMED_FUNCTION_CALL`) as an explicit non-`end_turn` finish reason instead of a silent clean completion. (thanks @anhdiepmmk)
+- **fix(routing):** the reasoning-token headroom buffer clamps to the model's explicit output cap instead of inflating past it, and `getExplicitModelOutputCap` falls through to the registry/spec cap when a synced capability row exists without a numeric `limit_output` ([#6714](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6714)) — thanks @xz-dev
+- **fix(api):** `omniroute health` (and `health components`/`health watch`) returned `Error: HTTP 404` ([#6677](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6677)) — `bin/cli/commands/health.mjs` called `apiFetch("/api/health", ...)`, a route that was moved to `GET /api/monitoring/health` (`src/app/api/monitoring/health/route.ts`) without updating the CLI; `src/app/api/health/` on disk only has `degradation/route.ts` and `ping/route.ts`, no top-level handler. `runHealthCommand()`/`runHealthComponentsCommand()` now call `/api/monitoring/health` and read its actual payload shape (`activeConnections`, `circuitBreakers: {open, halfOpen, closed}`, `memoryUsage`) instead of the old, nonexistent `requests`/`breakers`/`cache`/`memory` fields. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli-health-monitoring-route.test.ts`.
+- **fix(startup):** webpack build broke on case-insensitive filesystems (macOS APFS default, Windows) with a casing-collision warning plus "not exported" errors in `StudioConfigPane.tsx`/`ChatTab.tsx` (#6584) — `src/app/(dashboard)/dashboard/playground/components/ReasoningControls.tsx` (the component) and `reasoningControls.ts` (the utils module) shared the same lower-cased stem in the same directory, and two importers used the extensionless form `from "./reasoningControls"`, the exact resolution path that becomes ambiguous once casing is folded. Renamed the utils module to `reasoningControlUtils.ts` (no collision) and updated the 3 import sites. Regression guard: `tests/unit/case-collision-6584.test.ts` (scans `src/`/`open-sse/` for any same-directory, case-only filename collision). (#6584)
+- **fix(build):** Turbopack production build emitted an "Overly broad patterns can lead to build performance issues" warning per entry point importing `src/lib/agentSkills/generator.ts` (603 warnings reported on v3.8.46, up from 379 on v3.8.45) ([#6582](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6582)) — `generator.ts`'s `outputBase` is built as `path.isAbsolute(outputDir) ? outputDir : path.join(process.cwd(), outputDir)`, where `outputDir` is a runtime function parameter, not a compile-time literal, so Turbopack's build-time file-tracing analyzer can't statically narrow the several dynamic `readdirSync`/`rmSync`/`readFileSync`/`writeFileSync` call sites a few lines below and falls back to a project-wide glob; #6366's commit message claimed to "anchor the base path with a literal" but the shipped code never did. Since this fs access is legitimate and bounded (`skills/<id>/SKILL.md`, ~48 known IDs), `next.config.mjs`'s `turbopack.ignoreIssue` (Next.js 16.2+) now suppresses this specific, known-benign diagnostic, mirroring the existing `webpack.ignoreWarnings`/`isNextIntlExtractorDynamicImportWarning` precedent already in the same file for the webpack path. Regression guard: `tests/unit/next-config.test.ts` (asserts the `turbopack.ignoreIssue` rule shape targeting `src/lib/agentSkills/**`).
+- **fix(providers):** Codex Desktop requests to `gpt-5.3-codex-spark` failed with `[400]: Tool 'image_generation' is not supported with gpt-5.3-codex-spark`, even on paid-plan accounts ([#6651](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6651)) — `CodexExecutor.transformRequest` (`open-sse/executors/codex.ts`) only dropped the Codex Desktop-injected `image_generation` hosted tool when `isCodexFreePlan()` matched the account's plan, with no awareness that Spark-scope Codex models reject `image_generation` upstream regardless of plan. `dropImageGeneration` now also drops it when `getCodexModelScope(model) === "spark"` (the existing Spark classifier from `open-sse/config/codexQuotaScopes.ts`), independent of account plan. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-spark-image-generation.test.ts` (thanks @alltomatos for independently catching and fixing it via #6819).
+- **fix(providers):** the provider quota card's weekly/session bars re-sorted by remaining percentage instead of staying in a fixed, deterministic order ([#6687](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6687)) — `QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`'s `sortQuotasByRemaining()` (added in #5977) was applied unconditionally via `useMemo(() => sortQuotasByRemaining(quotas), [quotas])`, undoing the deterministic `CODEX_QUOTA_ORDER`/`GLM_QUOTA_ORDER` window order `quotaParsing.ts`'s `sortCodexOrder()`/`sortGlmOrder()` (added in #6336) already established for Codex and the GLM family — since #6336 never touched `QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`, the two orderings never composed, so e.g. a Codex `session` window with less headroom than `weekly` rendered after it instead of staying first. A new `hasFixedQuotaOrder()` (`quotaParsing.ts`) and `resolveQuotaDisplayOrder()` (`QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`) now skip the remaining-% re-sort for providers with a fixed window order, threading `providerId` from `QuotaCard.tsx` through to the display layer; every other provider still gets the remaining-% sort. Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-card-expanded-fixed-order-6687.test.ts`.
+- **fix(i18n):** pt-BR was missing 194 UI keys present in `en.json` — a real, silent data-sync gap, not covered by any duplicate/mislabeled #6694 (that issue's 9 `providers.*` keys are disjoint, present-but-untranslated sentinels caused by a separate `providerText()` fallback bug) ([#6695](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6695)) — `scripts/i18n/sync-ui-keys.mjs` (which mirrors newly-added `en.json` keys into every locale) wasn't re-run after recent `en.json` additions, and the CI `i18n:check-ui-coverage` gate only fails a locale below an 80% threshold, so pt-BR stayed green at 93.8% coverage despite the gap. Backfilled all 194 missing keys into `src/i18n/messages/pt-BR.json` (translated to Brazilian Portuguese, no leftover `__MISSING__` markers) via `npm run i18n:sync-ui -- --locale=pt-BR` + manual translation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-pt-br.test.ts` (new case asserting full `en.json`→`pt-BR.json` key parity, so a future drift fails a fast unit test instead of silently degrading the coverage percentage).
+- **fix(startup):** `omniroute --mcp` crashed at Node ESM link time with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND` for `ioredis` on installs where the published MCP bundle didn't happen to have `ioredis` rescued from a parent `node_modules` ([#6559](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6559)) — `src/shared/utils/rateLimiter.ts` had a top-level static `import Redis from "ioredis"`; that module is only ever reached via a lazy `await import(...)` several call-sites deep in the MCP tool chain, but esbuild's `--packages=external` bundling of the MCP server (`scripts/build/prepublish.ts` Step 8.5) still hoisted rateLimiter.ts's own static import into a real top-level ESM import in the compiled `dist/open-sse/mcp-server/server.js`, forcing Node to resolve `ioredis` at module-link time — before any `--mcp` startup code runs — and `ioredis` is not guaranteed to ship in the MCP-only bundle's `node_modules`. `getRedisClient()` now lazily imports `ioredis` on first use (matching the established soft-dependency pattern in `src/lib/quota/redisQuotaStore.ts`) while still throwing synchronously when Redis isn't configured. Regression guard: `tests/unit/build/mcp-bundle-no-eager-ioredis.test.ts` (bundles the real MCP server entrypoint with the exact publish-time esbuild flags and asserts no top-level static `ioredis` import remains, while the pre-existing lazy `await import("ioredis")` in `redisQuotaStore.ts` stays intact).
+- **fix(providers):** Kiro sent the adaptive-thinking `additionalModelRequestFields` envelope for `claude-sonnet-4.5`/`claude-haiku-4.5`, which Kiro/CodeWhisperer rejects upstream with a raw `[400]: additionalModelRequestFields is not supported for this model` ([#6576](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6576)) — `buildKiroPayload()` (`open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-kiro.ts`) gated the field on the generic Anthropic-API `supportsReasoning()` capability flag, which is `true` for both models on Anthropic's direct API but does not reflect what Kiro's CodeWhisperer backend actually accepts; only `claude-sonnet-5` is confirmed adaptive-thinking-capable there. A new Kiro-specific allowlist (`supportsKiroAdaptiveThinking()` in `open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-kiro/adaptiveThinking.ts`) now gates the envelope instead. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6576-kiro-thinking-unsupported-model.test.ts`.
+- **fix(translator):** Cursor's local **Subagent** tool call is no longer rejected with `cloud_base_branch may only be specified when environment equals cloud` — the Responses→Chat tool-arg cleanup (`stripEmptyOptionalToolArgs`) was scoped to Claude Code's `Read` tool only, so Cursor's `Subagent` tool passed through with the cloud-only `cloud_base_branch: ""` (Cursor treats an empty string as "specified" and rejects the call before starting the local subagent). The cleanup now covers an allowlist of `Read` + `Subagent`; arbitrary tools are still left untouched (empty strings/arrays can be valid payloads for them). Regression guard: `tests/unit/openai-responses-subagent-strip-2446.test.ts`. (thanks @like3213934360-lab)
+- **fix(translator):** GLM 5.2 (and other OpenAI-compatible upstreams that stream a tool call's `id` and `function.name` in **separate** SSE chunks) no longer produce an empty tool name / `No such tool available:` error through the Claude `/messages` path — the `openai-to-claude` streaming translator emitted `content_block_start` immediately on the id-only chunk with an empty `name`, and the Claude SSE protocol cannot patch a block after it is emitted, so the later name-only chunk was silently dropped. It now **defers** `content_block_start` until the tool name arrives (falling back to starting the block when arguments arrive first), so the emitted `tool_use` always carries the real name. Regression guard: `tests/unit/openai-to-claude-glm-split-tool-name-2077.test.ts`. (thanks @itiwant)
+- **fix(resilience):** OmniRoute didn't respect an exhausted Ollama Cloud (or any other apikey-category provider) quota — it retried the account seconds later instead of waiting out the real reset window ([#6638](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6638)) — `shouldPreserveQuotaSignalsFor429()`/`checkFallbackError()` (`open-sse/services/accountFallback.ts`) only applied body-text quota classification (daily/monthly/weekly quota-exhausted detection) to OAuth-category providers; apikey-category 429s (Ollama Cloud, OpenAI, etc.) always fell through to the generic short rate-limit cooldown regardless of what the error body said, and `parseRetryFromErrorText()` also had no support for day-granularity reset hints ("Your quota will reset in 3 days.") — only Xh/Ym/Zs combos. An explicit quota-exhausted signal in the body (`looksLikeQuotaExhausted()`) now overrides the apikey-category default via the new `shouldPreserveQuotaSignals()` (`open-sse/services/quotaResetParsing.ts`), and `parseDayGranularityResetMs()` parses whole-day reset countdowns so the real multi-day window is honored instead of a few seconds of backoff. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6638-ollama-quota.test.ts` + 2 aligned `tests/unit/account-fallback-service.test.ts` cases that previously asserted the buggy rate_limit_exceeded/undefined-dailyQuotaExhausted behavior for apikey-provider quota text.
+- **fix(resilience):** a combo step "pinned" to one fingerprint account (mimocode/mcode/opencode multi-account providers) never actually resolved to that account, so it couldn't fail over when the pinned account was depleted ([#6696](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6696), relates #6612) — the combo builder UI encodes an account pin as a composite connectionId (`${rowId}|fp|${fingerprint}`, `src/lib/combos/builderOptions.ts`), but `expandTargetsByFingerprints()` (`open-sse/services/combo/fingerprintExpansion.ts`) looked that composite string up directly in `connectionById` (keyed by real DB row ids), got `undefined`, and passed the target through unchanged, still carrying the bogus composite id — so downstream credential resolution could never match it either. `expandTargetsByFingerprints()` now splits the `|fp|` composite id back into the real connection row id + the pinned fingerprint (new `splitFingerprintPin()` helper) before any lookup, resolving the target to the real connectionId (with the pinned fingerprint carried on the new `pinnedFingerprint` field) instead of the inert composite string. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-fingerprint-pin-6696.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** Responses passthrough emitted event-only SSE frames (no `data:` line) for every dropped commentary event, breaking the OpenAI Python SDK's `sse.json()` parser ([#6561](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6561)), follow-up to #6199/#6232 — the commentary-drop `continue;` branches in `open-sse/utils/stream.ts` skipped the `data:` line for a dropped commentary event but never cleared the already-buffered `event:` line for that same frame, so the next blank line flushed the stale `event:` line alone. Both drop sites now call `clearPendingPassthroughEvent()` before `continue`, discarding the buffered prefix along with the dropped payload; the commentary-drop decision itself was extracted into a new `open-sse/utils/responsesCommentaryDrop.ts` so the fix does not grow the frozen `stream.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/responses-commentary-event-frame-6561.test.ts` (realistic `event:\ndata:\n\n` frames — the existing #6199 test only used bare `data:` lines and never exercised this path).
+- **fix(compression):** `/api/compression/preview`'s top-level `originalTokens`/`compressedTokens` diverged from `engineBreakdown[0]`'s counts for the same single-engine run (tiktoken outer counts vs the `JSON.stringify(...).length/4` estimate per engine), worst on small inputs. A new `reconcileSingleEngineTokens()` overwrites the single-engine breakdown entry with the outer, more accurate figures; multi-step pipeline breakdowns are left untouched ([#6488](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6488)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression/preview-outer-engine-token-reconcile-6488.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** account selection could pick an account already out of quota upstream on every credentialed route except `chat`/`codex` ([#6686](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6686)) — `getProviderCredentials()` (`src/sse/services/auth.ts`) only skips a connection when a *local cache* already flags it exhausted (`isQuotaExhaustedForRequest`/`src/domain/quotaCache.ts`); it never itself calls the registered upstream `QuotaFetcher`. Only `getProviderCredentialsWithQuotaPreflight()` performs that live upstream check, and it was wired into exactly 2 call sites (`src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, `src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts`) — every other credentialed route (`rerank`, `images/generations`, `images/edits`, `audio/transcriptions|speech|translations`, `videos/generations`, `music/generations`, `ocr`, `providers/[provider]/embeddings`, `providers/[provider]/images/generations`, `web/fetch`, `moderations`, `search`) called the plain, cache-only selector, so an account whose cache entry was never populated (e.g. its first request landed on one of these routes) could be selected even at 0% quota remaining. Those 14 call sites now go through `getProviderCredentialsWithQuotaPreflight()` instead, matching chat/codex coverage. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6686-quota-preflight-coverage.test.ts` (static check that none of the routes call the plain selector anymore + a behavioral check that the preflight-aware selector blocks a 100%-used account).
+- **fix(api):** `reasoning_content` (extended-thinking text) was silently dropped from `/v1/chat/completions` SSE on the `claude-web` and `v0-vercel-web` executors ([#6662](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6662)) — every chunk builder in both adapters hardcoded `delta: { content: ... }` with no reasoning path, unlike the established pattern already used by `default.ts`/`deepseek-web.ts`/`bedrock.ts` and the real-Anthropic-API `claude-to-openai.ts` translator (`thinking_delta` → `reasoning_content`). `v0-vercel-web.ts` now forwards an upstream `delta.reasoning_content` field (streaming and non-streaming) the same way `deepseek-web.ts` does. `claude-web.ts`'s `buildClaudeStreamingResponse` now maps a `content_block_start`(`type: "thinking"`)/`content_block_delta`(`delta.thinking`) pair onto `delta.reasoning_content`, and `claude-web/payload.ts`'s `transformToClaude()` no longer hardcodes `thinking_mode: "off"` — a new `wantsExtendedThinking()` derives it from the request's `reasoning_effort`/`reasoning.effort`/`thinking.type` signal, so extended thinking can actually be requested. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6662-repro.test.ts` (RED→GREEN for both adapters).
+- **fix(api):** the compression config PUT schema now accepts `enableRenderers` for the RTK engine instead of rejecting the documented option (#6703, #6757 — thanks @alltomatos, with an independent duplicate fix from @chirag127 via #6756).
+- **fix(api):** raised the provider `apiKey` length cap for cookie-based web providers, whose session-cookie credentials legitimately exceed the previous limit (#6715, #6759 — thanks @alltomatos).
+- fix(ci): publish electron-updater `latest*.yml` manifests in electron release assets so auto-update can find them ([#6766](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6766))
+- **fix(i18n): translate hardcoded Portuguese dashboard strings to English (#6761, #6768)** (#6769 — thanks @chirag127).
+- fix(providers): strip redundant node prefix when resolving custom OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible connections by raw connection id, preventing double-namespaced model ids from 400ing upstream (#6772)
+- fix(providers): scope nvidia NIM 404s to the single failing model instead of cooling down the whole connection (#6773)
+- **fix(codex):** bump the default Codex CLI client identity from `0.142.0` to `0.144.0` for compatibility with newer Codex-backed models ([#6780](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6780)) — thanks @quanturbo
+- **fix(ci):** the blocking "Impacted unit tests (TIA)" step false-redded any PR whose impact graph reached a dashboard component — it ran every selected test under `--import tsx/esm`, but `tests/unit/dashboard/**` requires the `--import tsx` CJS transform (ESM-only deep imports like `@lobehub/icons/es/*`), exactly as the canonical `test:unit:ci:shard` already does per segment. The impacted selection is now split by segment with matching loaders (closes #6787).
+- **fix(translator):** read PDF/video `file_data` attachments on the OpenAI→Gemini/Antigravity and OpenAI→Claude paths so multimodal documents (not just images) reach the upstream — PDFs map to `document`/`inlineData` and videos keep their `video/mp4` mime instead of being dropped (#6790 — thanks @Witroch4, with an independent report/fix from @samimozcan via #6762/#6753).
+- **fix(providers): ensure DeepSeek Web SSE emits [DONE] after FINISHED** (#6791 — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch).
+- **fix(api):** the compression config `PUT` schema (`stackedPipelineStepSchema`) now accepts every `ENGINE_CATALOG` id — the structural engines `session-dedup`/`ccr`/`headroom`/`relevance`/`llmlingua`/`omniglyph` and the `aggressive` `ultra` intensity — so a `GET`→`PUT` round-trip of a stacked pipeline no longer 400s on a valid engine the discriminated union had omitted (#6747 — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch).
+- **fix(cursor):** send the Agent CLI build id as `x-cursor-client-version` so Cursor upstream accepts requests from the current CLI build instead of a stale hardcoded version (#6795 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- fix(cli): waitForServer() no longer reports ready from a raw TCP accept alone — requires a fast HTTP rejection or a real health response, so the "OmniRoute is running!" banner no longer fires 30-60s before the server can actually answer requests (#6800)
+- fix(sse): de-flake timing-sensitive combo cooldown/breaker tests + add explicit MCP audit shutdown timeout (#6803)
+- **fix(codex): strip include from compact responses requests** (#6805 — thanks @yinaoxiong).
+- fix(dashboard): surface Claude extraUsage credits in quota card when quotas is empty (#6806)
+- **Request count by provider & date**: Dashboard → Analytics now shows a dedicated table of request counts grouped by provider and calendar date (plus token totals), for providers that bill per-request rather than per-token — sortable columns and a single-date filter. New `getProviderDailyUsageRows()` query (`src/lib/db/usageAnalytics.ts`) and its own `GET /api/usage/requests-by-provider-date` route (kept separate from the frozen `/api/usage/analytics` route). Regression guard: `tests/unit/db-provider-daily-usage-4009.test.ts`. (#4009 — thanks @tjengbudi)
+- **fix(resilience):** an Ollama Cloud (or any apikey-category provider) account that hit a weekly usage cap kept getting retried every few minutes instead of backing off ([#3709](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3709)) — the upstream 429 body ("you (\<account\>) have reached your weekly usage limit") was invisible to `checkFallbackError`'s existing subscription-quota-text classifier (Issue #2321) because that branch is gated by `shouldUseQuotaSignal`, which is oauth-only, so apikey providers like `ollama-cloud` fell through to the generic exponential backoff (~1s, capped at 2min) — one account took 285x429 in 48h. A new `isWeeklyUsageLimitText`/`buildWeeklyQuotaFallback` classifier (extracted, with the existing subscription-quota logic, into a new `open-sse/services/quotaTextCooldowns.ts` module so the frozen `accountFallback.ts` didn't have to grow) runs unconditionally and applies a 24h `QUOTA_EXHAUSTED` cooldown regardless of provider category. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ollama-cloud-weekly-quota-cooldown-3709.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** an explicit `thinking.budget_tokens: 0` is now honored in the OpenAI→Gemini transform (thinking disabled) instead of being treated as unset (#6813, #6821 — thanks @alltomatos).
+- **fix(bootstrap):** filter empty `process.env` values before spawning embedded services so a blank env var no longer crashes the Docker bootstrap in a restart loop (#6828 — thanks @AndrianBalanescu).
+- **fix(providers):** classify upstream `404` responses as `MODEL_NOT_FOUND` (model lockout) instead of a retryable provider error, stopping the retry storm when a single model is missing (#6829 — thanks @AndrianBalanescu).
+- fix(mcp): de-duplicate `TOTAL_MCP_TOOL_COUNT` by tool name instead of double-counting collections (#6854)
+- **fix(usage):** xAI's exact provider-reported `cost_in_usd_ticks` no longer silently accepts `null`/`""`/negative values as a valid `$0` exact cost — `extractUsageFromResponse()` (`open-sse/handlers/usageExtractor.ts`) and `normalizeUsage()` (`open-sse/utils/usageTracking.ts`) now require `typeof value === "number" && Number.isFinite(value) && value >= 0` instead of coercing with `Number(x)`, so a malformed exact cost correctly falls back to the token-based estimate instead of masking it with a bogus `$0`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/xai-exact-cost-2453.test.ts` (rejects null/empty/negative exact costs on both call sites). ([#6856](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6856) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(plugin):** the `@omniroute/opencode-plugin` dynamic provider hook stopped embedding its OC-1.17.8+-gate-compatible `opencode-`-prefixed provider id into model routing fields (`ModelV2.id`/`providerID`, combo catalog keys) — OmniRoute's server has no `opencode-<x>` provider alias, so every dispatched model failed credential lookup with "No credentials for opencode-omniroute" (#6859).
+- fix(sse): apply cliproxyapiModelMapping at CLIProxyAPI dispatch time (#6876)
+- fix(sse): defer `response.completed` until a trailing usage-only chunk arrives on `/v1/responses` streams (#6906)
+- **fix(cli):** ship `head-response-guard.cjs` into the standalone bundle — `server-ws.mjs` imported it without a matching `EXTRA_MODULE_ENTRIES` entry, so every `build:release` dist crashed at boot with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND`; a new regression test derives the required sidecars from `server-ws.mjs` imports (#6908)
+- fix(sse): wire the shared quota-fetch throttle into DeepSeek, Bailian, OpenCode, and Crof quota fetchers, not just Codex (#6911)
+- fix(sse): rename client-sent `max_completion_tokens` to `max_tokens` for providers/models that only accept the legacy field (e.g. Volcengine Ark / DeepSeek), mirroring the existing reverse rename from #1961 (#6912)
+- fix(sse): set includeServerSideToolInvocations on Antigravity tool cloak decoys (#6914)
+- fix(sse): classify LAN embeddings providers (10/8, 192.168/16, CGNAT) as no-auth instead of forcing bearer auth (#6925)
+- fix(sse): Qwen Web executor no longer sends `[object Object]` when a message uses structured (array) content — the text parts are now flattened (#6927)
+- perf(api): relay chat-completions routes now thread the already-fetched `RelayToken` into `checkRateLimit`, skipping a redundant `SELECT * FROM relay_tokens WHERE id = ?` re-query on every request (#6930)
+- fix(sse): `normalizeCodexMessageContentPart` now rewrites explicit `type: "input_text"` (not just `type: "text"`) to `output_text` on assistant-role Codex Responses input parts, so replayed assistant history sent by codex-cli as `input_text` is no longer rejected by the Codex/OpenAI backend (#6932)
+- fix(sse): omit removed `attachments` field from Muse Spark Web (Meta AI) persisted GraphQL query to fix `Unknown type "AttachmentInput"` 502s (#6935)
+- fix(dashboard): label audio/embeddings/image compatible providers by kind instead of "Chat" on ProviderCard (#6936)
+- fix(api): model-list discovery for LAN-local OpenAI-compatible providers (e.g. LM Studio) now uses the same local-first SSRF guard as the connection test, instead of the stricter guard that always blocked LAN hosts (#6939)
+- fix(providers): `openai->gemini` transform now maps `reasoning_effort: "none"` to `thinkingConfig.thinkingBudget: 0` (with `includeThoughts: false`), giving callers an explicit, documented off-switch for Gemini thinking; the no-knob-at-all default injection (#4170) is unchanged (#6813, thanks @rafaumeu)
+- **fix(sse):** escape backslash before brackets in ChatGPT-web citation link text, preventing a citation label containing `\` from corrupting the generated Markdown link ([#6944](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6944)) — thanks @brick30llc-ctrl
+- fix(oauth): tokenHealthCheck now lowercase-normalizes `conn.provider` before checking `ROTATING_REFRESH_PROVIDERS.has()` and the GitHub Copilot sub-token refresh guard, so mixed-case provider values (e.g. "OpenAI", "Github") no longer bypass the rotating-refresh-token skip or the Copilot sub-token refresh (#6947)
+- fix(sse): make Codex Responses tool-arg normalization schema-aware — drop values equal to the tool's declared JSON Schema `default`, generalize empty-optional stripping to any tool (not just `Read`/`Subagent`) via `schema.required`, and thread each tool's schema from the request's `tools[]` into the streaming response translator (#6951)
+- fix(sse): drop internal commentary-phase Responses output in TRANSLATE-mode streams, not just PASSTHROUGH — codex/Responses-upstream routes translated into another client format (e.g. Claude Code) no longer leak duplicate prose and narrated tool-call arguments into the client text channel (#6952)
+- **fix(combos):** embeddings-only and rerank-only models (e.g. JinaAI, Gemini auto-imported, OpenRouter custom, reranker models) no longer disappear from the combo builder's model picker — the leftover chat-only `isChatCapable` gate in `addModelOption()` has been removed (#6975).
+- **fix(combos):** when 2+ distinct model ids from the same provider would render an identical display name in the combo builder picker (e.g. Mistral's `codestral-latest`/`codestral-2508` aliases sharing one upstream catalog name), each colliding entry now falls back to its own id as the display label so every row stays visually distinguishable and findable (#6957).

+- **chore(release-captain):** v3.8.47 pre-flight closed every deterministic release-tip base-red ([#6967](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6967)): restored the `no-explicit-any` severity silently downgraded by #6786 (439 bulk suppressions had stopped matching), made the openadapter live-catalog test deterministic (`test.after()` was tearing the DB down mid-request), aligned the emergency-fallback and Cloud Code Gemini tests with the #6912/#6943 contracts, backfilled the #6909 i18n keys (en + pt-BR), re-exported `relayProbeStats` (db-rules), documented `OMNI_MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS`, and allowlisted migration gap 121. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **chore(security):** unbiased crypto digits for the doubao synthetic device id (CodeQL `js/biased-cryptographic-random`); 405 method-first for `/api/keys/{id}/devices` (dast-smoke); Zod-validation for `POST /api/github-skills`; the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry + catalog count alignment. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **chore(quality):** cycle-close ratchet work — cleared the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors and made `validate-release-green` suppressions-aware; cleared the 2 remaining heavy-gate reds on the release tip; cycle rebaselines (cognitive/file-size/zizmor/coverage pcts) with justification keys. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **chore(open-sse):** removed the vestigial `// @ts-nocheck` directive from `open-sse/utils/usageTracking.ts` ([#6173](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6173)) — `tsc` under the standard `typecheck:core` gate reports 0 errors for this 595-line hot-path file (executed for every provider response), so the suppression was no longer needed; removing it restores type-checking on the token-usage extraction/normalization path. (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **chore(cli):** the shell-completion cache paths (`readCache`/`refreshCache`/`writeCache`) in `bin/cli/commands/completion.mjs` no longer swallow errors into a bare `catch {}` ([#6257](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6257)) — each now binds the error and, when the new `OMNIROUTE_DEBUG_COMPLETION` env var is set, emits a `[omniroute completion]` diagnostic to `stderr`; the caches still fail silently by default so a missing/corrupt cache never breaks tab-completion. (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **chore(quality):** `validate-release-green --full-ci` reproduces the full `ci.yml` static gate set locally — the pre-flight now reads `ci.yml` itself and runs every `npm run check:*` from the `lint` / `quality-gate` / `quality-extended` / `docs-sync-strict` / `pr-test-policy` jobs (`--` ratchet flags preserved, `test-masking` against `GITHUB_BASE_REF=main`), skipping only the non-local `pr-evidence`/`codeql-ratchet`. Closes the gap where 11 static base-reds leaked to the v3.8.46 release PR in ~2h of layered CI. Also wired into `nightly-release-green` so a static base-red opens a tracking issue the night it lands. Regression guard: `tests/unit/validate-release-green.test.ts` (+5 `extractCiGates` cases).
+- **refactor(usage):** `saveRequestUsage(entry: any)` is now typed with a new `UsageEntry` interface mirroring the `usage_history` columns 1:1 (#3512) — the other stray `any`s in `src/lib/usage/usageHistory.ts` (`getUsageHistory` filter, the `getUsageDb` next-cursor cast, `appendRequestLog`'s legacy `tokens` param, `getRecentLogs`'s catch) were cleaned in the same pass, so the file now sits in the `check:any-budget:t11` zero-`any` allowlist. The DB-entity ↔ TS-interface convention is documented in `docs/architecture/CODEBASE_DOCUMENTATION.md` §11.
+- **Merge-train script** (`scripts/release/merge-train.sh`): batch-validates N queued PRs as ONE merged result on the runner box — merges every queued PR into a throwaway worktree cut from the release tip, runs the fast-gates parity suite once, and prints the `--admin` evidence block per PR (merge-gates §7). Replaces O(N²) per-PR CI re-runs in merge-storms. Regression guard: `tests/unit/merge-train-plan.test.ts`.
+- **release:** `list-uncovered-commits.mjs` now unions the CHANGELOG scan window with `changelog.d/` fragment refs (filename `<PR>-` prefix + every `#N` in the body), so a commit covered only by a fragment is no longer reported as an uncovered reconciliation gap ([#6857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6857) via [#6878](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6878))
+- chore(quality): restore no-explicit-any severity to error (silently downgraded by #6786, broke 439 bulk suppressions), fix 2 unsuppressed anys in repro-6912 test, allowlist migration gap 121, freeze-bump stream.ts/ProxyRegistryManager/tokenHealthCheck (combined-merge drift)
+- chore(base): pt-BR/en i18n keys for #6909 relay-repair/free-pool UI + align Cloud Code Gemini defaults test with the #6943 non-thinking-model contract
+- chore(base): re-export relayProbeStats from localDb (db-rules gate, #6909 follow-up) and document OMNI_MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS in .env.example/ENVIRONMENT.md (env-doc gate, #6590 follow-up)
+- **ci:** unit fast-path sharding doubled 2→4 (halves the heaviest job's wall time) (#6781); the 3 heaviest fast-path jobs can route to the self-hosted VPS runner pool behind `USE_VPS_RUNNER` (#6691); `VPS_ALWAYS_ON` keeps the dedicated 24/7 CI host up across releases (teardown becomes a no-op) (#6693).
+- **docs:** routing-strategy count reconciled to 18 across AUTO-COMBO.md, README and AGENTS.md, and `p2c` casing fixed to match `ROUTING_STRATEGY_VALUES` (#6643, #6644, #6646 — thanks @chirag127); CLAUDE.md updated with the renamed review/triage/implement skill-family names (#6663).
+- chore(release): v3.8.47 pre-flight — relocate #6943 orphan test to a collected path, restore no-explicit-any suppression match, testFrozen bump translator-openai-to-gemini (1541→1553), zizmor rebaseline 159→169
+- **docs(readme):** fix stale counts — 18 routing strategies (adds the missing `pipeline` row), 94 MCP tools, 12-factor Auto-Combo scoring.
+- **chore(ci):** fix two shared base-reds on the release tip that blocked the PR queue — register `cliproxyapi-model-mapping-dispatch.test.ts` in `stryker.conf.json` `tap.testFiles` (mutation-coverage gap left by #6903) and update `provider-models-route-codex.test.ts` to expect Codex client version `0.144.0` (stale assertion left by #6780's production bump).
+- **docs:** refresh `llm.txt` to the current project state (248 providers, 94 MCP tools / 30 scopes, 18 routing strategies, 12-factor Auto-Combo scoring, v3.8.47) and sync its 42 i18n mirrors; move the implemented design-system plan from the repo root to `docs/architecture/DESIGN_SYSTEM.md` rewritten as a reference doc.
+- **chore(security):** scrub hardcoded live-instance credentials (API key + auth cookie + host URL) from the `tests/boundary/*.live.test.ts` files landed via #6786 — they now read `OMNIROUTE_TEST_BASE` / `OMNIROUTE_TEST_BEARER` / `OMNIROUTE_TEST_COOKIE` from the environment and stay gated behind `RUN_BOUNDARY_LIVE=1`.

+## [3.8.46] — 2026-07-07
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(sse):** **hide paid-only models from `auto/*` routing** when `hidePaidModels` is on ([#6512](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6512)) — follow-up to #6328/#6495. PR #6495 hid paid-only models from the `GET /v1/models` listing, but `auto/*` combos (`auto/best-coding`, `auto/glm`, …) could still pick a paid-only backend into their candidate pool → a 402/403 at request time. `createVirtualAutoCombo` now filters the candidate pool through the new pure `open-sse/services/autoCombo/paidModelFilter.ts` (`filterPaidOnlyCandidates`), applying the same free-model predicate #6495 uses in `catalog.ts` (`providerHasFreeModels(provider) && isFreeModel(provider, {id})`) whenever `settings.hidePaidModels === true`. Applied before the category/tier/family narrowing, so it covers every `auto/*` combo; an all-paid pool degrades to the existing graceful empty-pool path. **Opt-in — default OFF leaves the pool unchanged** (identity). Regression guard: `tests/unit/autoCombo/paid-model-filter-6512.test.ts` (4, incl. the default-off identity guard).
+- **feat(sse):** **provider-family auto combos** — `auto/glm`, `auto/minimax`, `auto/mimo`, `auto/zai`, `auto/gemma`, `auto/llama`, `auto/gemini` ([#6453](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6453)) — new routable ids that materialize an on-demand virtual combo spanning whatever installed backends currently expose that model family, degrading gracefully as backends rotate. A new pure `open-sse/services/autoCombo/modelFamily.ts` (`detectModelFamily`) classifies by model-id prefix for six families; `zai` is instead resolved by provider id (z.ai's hosted API serves the same `glm-*` model ids as every other GLM backend, so `auto/zai` means "route to my z.ai backend specifically" vs `auto/glm`'s "any connected GLM backend"). Reuses the existing `createVirtualAutoCombo` on-demand materialization path (no DB writes) and the `/v1/models` catalog advertising loop. Regression guard: `tests/unit/autoCombo/provider-family-combos.test.ts` (11).
+- **feat(proxy):** native **proxy-pool round-robin / egress IP rotation** ([#6365](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6365)) — a scope (global / provider / account) can now hold **multiple** proxies as a pool with a rotation strategy, so outbound requests cycle their egress IP instead of pinning one proxy per scope. Migration `117_proxy_pool_rotation.sql` lifts the `UNIQUE(scope, scope_id)` constraint (rebuild via the canonical rename/copy/drop; existing single assignments become 1-element pools) and adds a `proxy_scope_rotation` companion table holding the per-scope strategy + a persisted monotonic round-robin cursor. Strategies: `round-robin` (default, monotonic cursor — never `Math.random`), `random`, and `sticky-per-N-min`. Resolution (`resolveProxyForScopeFromRegistry` / `resolveProxyForConnectionFromRegistry`) now fetches the alive, position-ordered candidate set (unchanged `PROXY_ALIVE_PREDICATE`) and applies the strategy; an empty / all-dead pool still returns `null` — the #6246 fail-closed guard is **untouched** (never falls through to direct egress). Backend + DB only; dashboard pool-builder UI is a follow-up. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-pool-rotation-6365.test.ts` (8, incl. fail-closed + backward-compat).
+- **feat(providers):** end-to-end **tool/function calling on the native Gemini `/v1beta` endpoint** ([#6222](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6222)) — both directions of the Gemini↔OpenAI conversion now preserve tool data (previously silently dropped). Request side: `convertGeminiToInternal` (extracted to its own testable module) maps `tools[].functionDeclarations` → OpenAI `tools`, prior `functionCall` parts → assistant `tool_calls`, and `functionResponse` parts → `tool`-role messages. Response side: `convertOpenAIResponseToGemini` emits `parts[].functionCall {name,args}` from `message.tool_calls`, and the streaming `openAIChunkToGeminiChunk` accumulates fragmented `tool_calls` deltas by index into complete `functionCall` parts. The non-Gemini client paths (Claude, OpenAI-Responses) already preserved tool calls — this closes the gap specific to the native Gemini surface. Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1beta-gemini-tool-calling-6222.test.ts` (6, incl. a streaming SSE round-trip).
+- **feat(providers):** copilot-m365-web **enterprise / work tier** support ([#6334](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6334)) — mirrors the EDU-tier pattern (#6210): `M365ConnectionParams` gains an `agent` field, a new opt-in `M365_ENTERPRISE_OVERRIDES` preset (`agent=work`, `scenario=officeweb`, `licenseType=Premium`) applies via `providerSpecificData.tier="enterprise"` (alias `"work"`), and `agent` is also overridable directly via `providerSpecificData.agent`. `buildWsUrl` was hardcoding `agent="web"` (the one enterprise-distinguishing param with no override path), so a Premium work account handshook then returned an empty stream. The individual and EDU paths are untouched. Kilo's dup flag vs #6210 (EDU tier) was a false positive — different tier. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-enterprise-6334.test.ts` (7). End-to-end confirmation on a real Premium work account is a live-VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18). (thanks @Forcerecon)
+- **feat(api):** standardized, provider-agnostic **`effort` + `thinking` request params** ([#6241](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6241)) — a thin standardization layer over the existing mature per-provider reasoning plumbing (no provider mapper touched). `providerChatCompletionSchema` gains a canonical `effort` (reusing the shared `none/low/medium/high/xhigh` vocabulary — the UI tiers `extra`/`max` collapse onto `xhigh`) and a boolean `thinking`. A pure `normalizeReasoningRequest` (wired once in `src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, before any reasoning field is read) folds them onto the fields the translators already consume (`reasoning_effort` / `reasoning.effort` / `thinking`), so they fan out to Anthropic / Gemini / xAI / Responses — an explicit client `reasoning_effort` / object-shaped `thinking` always wins (backward-compatible). `/models` additively exposes `supportsThinking` + `effort_tiers` so the frontend can render the toggles (UI component is a follow-up). Regression guard: `tests/unit/effort-thinking-standardization-6241.test.ts` (12). (thanks @Iammilansoni, @shabeer)
+- **feat(combo):** new **`pipeline` (sequential) combo strategy** ([#6297](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6297)) — the 18th routing strategy runs targets **in order**, threading each step's output into the next step's input, with an optional per-step `prompt` (system instruction); only the final step's response is returned. Distinct from `fusion` (parallel fan-out + judge). Implemented as a self-contained `open-sse/services/pipeline.ts` (sibling to `fusion.ts`), dispatched from `combo.ts`; the step list reuses `combo.models` order and reads an optional `prompt` off each target (backward-compatible — ignored by every other strategy). Intermediate steps run non-streaming with tools stripped (complete prose to thread forward); the final step keeps the client's `stream` flag + tools. A failing/empty/unparseable intermediate step fails the whole pipeline explicitly via a sanitized error (never silently swallowed). Kilo's dup flag vs #563 was a false positive (that's model→chain selection; this is a sequential chain). Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-pipeline-strategy.test.ts` (5). (thanks @ofekbetzalel)
+- **feat(ci):** `check:test-masking` now flags **inline-reimplemented prod conditions** ([#6348](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6348)) — a new **report-only** subcheck (v2, 6A.10 family) catches the wrong-shape contract test: a test that recomputes the condition under test inline instead of importing/exercising the real function (the #6216 class, where `=== 500` → `>= 500` stayed green because the test re-implemented the branch). For each added/modified test file it warns when the file textually duplicates a ≥3-token conditional from a production file touched in the same PR **and** does not import the symbol/module owning it, via a pure, fixture-tested `findReimplementedConditions()` with an allowlist mirroring `assertReductionAllowlist`. Report-only for now (does not fail the gate) — to be promoted to blocking after a triage cycle. Regression guard: `tests/unit/check-test-masking.test.ts` (45).
+- **feat(sse):** per-connection routing override (native vs CLIProxyAPI) ([#6339](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6339)) — the previously-dead `isCliproxyapiDeepModeEnabled` helper is now wired into `resolveExecutorWithProxy`: a single connection can opt itself into the CLIProxyAPI passthrough executor via `providerSpecificData.cliproxyapiMode="claude-native"`, with precedence **connection override > provider `upstream_proxy_config` mode > default**. `resolveExecutorWithProxy` now receives the resolved connection's `providerSpecificData` (threaded from `chatCore.ts`), so one connection can deep-route while the provider's other connections stay native — no DB schema change (the toggle rides in `providerSpecificData`). Also resolves the same-provider mixing ask in #6340. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chatcore-executor-proxy.test.ts` (9). (thanks @RaviTharuma)
+- **feat(dashboard):** "Add session cookie" modal now shows a prominent **"Open ‹host› →"** link to the provider's own site ([#6268](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6268)) — every `-web` cookie-session provider (chatgpt-web, claude-web, gemini-web, kimi-web, lmarena, qwen-web, m365-copilot-web, …) renders a one-click external link (opening the provider's login/home page in a new tab) so operators no longer tab away to retype the URL mid-setup. The host resolves from a pure, unit-tested `resolveWebProviderHost()` (prefers `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS[id].website`, falls back to the registry `baseUrl` origin); non-web providers render exactly as before. Kilo's dup flag vs #6265 (modal-too-small-on-1080p) was a false positive — distinct concern. Regression guard: `tests/unit/resolve-web-provider-host.test.ts` (5). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add **DigitalOcean** AI (serverless inference) as an OpenAI-compatible API-key provider ([#6373](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6373)) — base `https://inference.do-ai.run/v1`, wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/digitalocean/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/inference-hosts.ts`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/digitalocean-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @newnol)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Huancheng Public API** (`hcnsec`) as an OpenAI-compatible regional provider ([#6410](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6410)) — Xinjiang Huancheng Cybersecurity's public LLM platform (base `https://api.hcnsec.cn/v1`, free credits via daily check-ins), wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/hcnsec/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/regional.ts`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/hcnsec-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @UnrealAryan)
+- **feat(dashboard):** the web-session credential guide now shows an **"Open {host}" link** ([#6316](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6316)) to the provider's sign-in site (derived from the provider `website` via `getProviderWebsiteHost`), so you can jump straight to the page where the cookie/session must be captured. Regression guard: `tests/unit/web-session-provider-link-6316.test.ts`. (thanks @jordansilly77-stack)
+- **feat(cerebras):** add the **Gemma 4 31B** model (`gemma-4-31b`) to the Cerebras registry + pricing table ([#6331](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6331)). Regression guard extends `tests/unit/t28-model-catalog-updates.test.ts`. (thanks @backryun)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Yuanbao (web)** as a cookie-session provider ([#6196](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6196)) — `yuanbao-web` (Tencent Yuanbao, `yuanbao.tencent.com`) with cookie-only auth (`hy_user`/`hy_token` + public agent id), SSE→OpenAI translation incl. `reasoning_content`, exposing DeepSeek V3/R1 + Hunyuan / Hunyuan-T1. Regression guard: `tests/unit/providers-yuanbao-web.test.ts`. `together-web` was **deferred** (no verifiable web-session endpoint — needs a captured request) and `huggingchat-web` **dropped** (the existing `huggingchat` already is a web-cookie provider). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** route the built-in **agentrouter** through the dynamic Claude-Code wire image ([#6056](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6056)) — a small static allow-set (`CC_WIRE_IMAGE_BUILTINS` in `open-sse/services/ccWireImageBuiltins.ts`), consulted by `isClaudeCodeCompatible` / `isClaudeCodeCompatibleProvider` / `applyFingerprint`, makes agentrouter adopt the CC wire-image headers + fingerprint **while guarding the CC baseUrl/auth branches** so it keeps its own registry `baseUrl` and `x-api-key` auth. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentrouter-cc-wire-image.test.ts` (asserts the wire image is applied AND agentrouter's baseUrl/auth are preserved). Live WAF-acceptance against agentrouter.org is a VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18).
+- **feat(providers):** **bulk-add API keys for Cloudflare Workers AI** ([#6174](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6174)) — `cloudflare-ai` is removed from the bulk-add exclusion list and the bulk parser gains a 3-field `name|accountId|apiKey` mode; the bulk route now builds a **per-entry** `providerSpecificData` so each key carries its own `accountId` (fixing the previous shared-object reuse), and both the create + key-validation paths receive it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/bulk-api-key-parser-cloudflare.test.ts`. (thanks @muflifadla38)
+- **feat(dashboard):** routing/settings UX clarity ([#6147](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6147)) — (1) weighted combos show the **effective routing share %** next to each weight when weights don't sum to 100 (`WeightTotalBar.tsx`); (2) the status widget's user-facing **"Cloud Sync" label is renamed** to "Remote Settings Sync" (`CloudSyncStatus.tsx`; internal ids/state untouched); (3) built-in providers gain an **opt-in advanced base-URL override** (`isBaseUrlOverrideEligibleProvider`, hidden behind an "Advanced" toggle, reusing the existing `providerSpecificData.baseUrl` persistence — not globally widened). Regression guard: `tests/unit/routing-settings-ux-6147.test.ts`.
+- **feat(combo):** add an option to **disable session stickiness**, per-combo or globally — round-robin / random combos can rotate to a different connection on every request instead of pinning a whole conversation to one connection by its first-message hash. Resolution precedence per-combo `config.disableSessionStickiness` → global `settings.disableSessionStickiness` → default `false` (preserves the #3825 prompt-cache/504 fix); gates **both** stickiness call sites in `open-sse/services/combo.ts`. Exposed as a global toggle (Combo Defaults) and a per-combo Inherit/on/off control. ([#6168](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6168)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-disable-session-stickiness.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+- **feat(docker):** add the `OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO` env flag for root-less / user-namespaced deployments — the MITM cert-trust command path (`resolveSudoSpawn` in `src/mitm/systemCommands.ts`) now strips the leading `sudo` when the flag is truthy, in addition to the existing root / sudo-missing cases, so the Proxy Agent runs without `sudo` (the operator trusts the CA manually, e.g. via `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`). Argv-array `spawn` preserved — no shell interpolation (Hard Rule #13). ([#6122](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6122)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-systemCommands-no-sudo.test.ts`. (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Requesty** as an OpenAI-compatible gateway provider (BYOK, base `https://router.requesty.ai/v1`, ~200 free requests/day) — wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/requesty/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/gateways.ts`). ([#6120](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6120)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/requesty-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add **configured-only / available-only filters** to the Free Provider Rankings page ([#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150)) — hide providers you haven't configured, or whose connections are all rate-limited / out of quota, via server-side query params (`?configuredOnly` / `?availableOnly` on `GET /api/free-provider-rankings`) backed by a testable lib helper reusing the in-process connection state (no Redis). Both filters default off, so the default view is unchanged; this supersedes the earlier client-side "Configured Only" toggle (#6245) with an available-only dimension and unit-tested logic. Regression guard: `tests/unit/freeProviderRankings-filters.test.ts`.

+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(dashboard):** adding a second API key connection for the same provider no longer silently overwrites the first — the Add-API-key modal now derives a unique default connection name (`main`, then `main-2`, `main-3`, …) so the backend name-based upsert can't collide (#6499 — thanks @dilneiss).
+- **fix(compression):** the session-dedup engine now also deduplicates a large multi-line block repeated **within a single message** (intra-message dedup), not just across turns; the compression-preview API surfaces a `fallbackReason`, and the fusion panel reports how many models were rate-limited vs failed on total-panel failure (#6501 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **fix(compression):** a stacked-pipeline step naming an unregistered engine now surfaces a `validationErrors` entry instead of silently no-op'ing, so misconfigured pipelines are visible in the preview API (#6506 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **feat(usage):** add a **Codex reset-credit redemption** flow to the Provider Limits UI ([#6361](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6361)) — a `useCodexResetCreditRedemption` hook + `/api/usage/codex-reset-credit` route + `codexResetCredits` lib let you redeem banked Codex reset credits from the quota card. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-reset-credits.test.ts`. (thanks @JxnLexn)
+- **feat(glm):** add **team-plan quota settings** for `glm-cn` connections ([#6351](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6351)) — a dedicated `GlmTeamQuotaFields` form section (team quota id / limits) threaded through the Add/Edit connection modals, persisted via `providerSpecificData`, with the GLM usage service reading the team quota. Regression guards: `tests/unit/glm-team-quota.test.ts`, `provider-specific-data-schema.test.ts`. (thanks @hao3039032)
+- **feat(providers):** add **TinyFish** web-fetch/search support ([#6349](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6349)) — a `tinyfish-fetch` executor + `/v1/web/fetch` route + MCP web-fetch tool, registered as a specialty-media provider with request-validation and a search-provider catalog entry. Regression guards: `tests/unit/executor-tinyfish-fetch.test.ts`, `web-fetch-handler.test.ts`, `mcp-web-fetch-tool.test.ts`, `provider-validation-tinyfish.test.ts`. (thanks @dtybnrj)
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute launch-codex` now spawns `codex.cmd` through a shell on Windows (the npm `.cmd` shim is unresolvable by bare `spawn` → ENOENT), mirroring the qodercli Windows fix (#6263) ([#6312](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6312)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/launch-codex-windows-spawn-6312.test.ts`. (thanks @swingtempo)
+- **fix(codex):** isolate the **Spark** quota from the shared Codex quota and stabilize the quota UI ordering / hydration so per-scope limits render consistently ([#6336](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6336)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/codex-quota-selection-hydration.test.ts`, `provider-limits-ui.test.ts` + 3 more. (thanks @xz-dev)
+- **feat(api):** add a `hidePaidModels` setting that filters paid-only models out of the `/v1/models` catalog. Regression guard: `tests/unit/models-catalog-hide-paid.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api-manager):** the fallback model picker now preserves combos instead of dropping them when a primary model is unavailable ([#6443](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6443)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api-manager-page-static.test.ts`. (thanks @jmengit)
+- **fix(providers):** recoverable Antigravity / Cloud-Code (Gemini Code Assist) `403` responses ([#6452](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6452)) are now classified as a retryable project-config error instead of a terminal account ban, so a fixable project/API-disabled 403 no longer forces a ~1-year cooldown / full OAuth reconnect. Regression guard: `tests/unit/errorclassifier-antigravity-403.test.ts`. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(mitm):** `sanitizeHeaders` now redacts `Set-Cookie` response headers so upstream session cookies never leak into logs / diagnostics ([#6451](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6451)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-sanitize-headers.test.ts`. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(api):** `/api/compression/preview` now accepts `mode: "caveman"` and correctly handles stacked / zero-compression previews ([#6425](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6425)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api/compression-preview-caveman-and-stacked-6425.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Zed** hosted LLM aggregator as a native-app provider ([#6118](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6118)) — OAuth sign-in via the Zed hosted flow, registered through the shared provider registry + executor. Regression guards: `tests/unit/zed-oauth-provider.test.ts`, `zed-import-utils.test.ts`, `zed-docker-detect.test.ts`, `mitm-handler-zed.test.ts`. VPS-validated via live operator login (Hard Rule #18).
+- **fix(oauth):** the Kiro SSO-cache auto-import now **preserves the IDC region** — cross-region Amazon Q / Kiro profiles imported from the SSO cache are no longer collapsed to the default region ([#6113](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6113)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kiro-auto-import-idc-2059.test.ts`. VPS-validated via live operator login (Hard Rule #18).
+- **fix(dashboard):** passthrough model aliases no longer collide when two namespaced model ids share a last segment (port from 9router#1850, [#6431](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6431)). `enx/gpt-5.5` and `enx/codebuddy/gpt-5.5` both auto-generated the alias `gpt-5.5`, so the second model could never be added (the UI just alerted "alias already exists"). Aliases are now disambiguated deterministically — bare last segment when free, then parent-qualified (`codebuddy-gpt-5.5`), then a numeric suffix — while re-adding the exact same model id is still blocked. Regression guard: `tests/unit/passthrough-alias-1850.test.ts`. (thanks @arpicato)
+- **fix(translator):** preserve a Gemini `functionResponse` co-located with other parts (another `functionCall`, or trailing `text`) in the same content when translating **Gemini → OpenAI** ([#6376](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6376)). `convertGeminiContent()` early-returned the tool message on the first `functionResponse` part, dropping any co-located parts; such contents are now pre-split (one tool message per `functionResponse`, emitted first, plus one message for the remaining parts). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-to-openai-function-response.test.ts`. (thanks @warelik)
+- **fix(headroom):** detect a python interpreter managed by **mise / pyenv / asdf / conda** (port from 9router#2353, [#6382](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6382)). Headroom's python probe (`src/lib/headroom/detect.ts`) searched a hardcoded `PATH`, but version managers expose their interpreters via shim dirs that only join `PATH` through interactive-shell activation — which the non-interactive server never runs, so a managed python (≥3.10) was invisible and Headroom reported it missing. The search path now prepends the well-known shim/bin dirs (`~/.local/share/mise/shims`, `~/.pyenv/shims`, `~/.asdf/shims`, `$CONDA_PREFIX/bin`, `~/.local/bin`, respecting `MISE_DATA_DIR`/`PYENV_ROOT`/`ASDF_DATA_DIR` when set), and a new `HEADROOM_PYTHON` env override lets operators point straight at their interpreter (mirroring `HEADROOM_URL`). Still shell-free (`execFileSync`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/headroom-detect.test.ts` (5). (thanks @loopyd)
+- **fix(executors):** strip the OpenAI-Codex/Claude-CLI `client_metadata` passthrough field for **NVIDIA** requests (port from 9router#1887, [#6411](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6411)). NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible wrapper rejects it with `400 Unsupported parameter`, the same class already handled for `cerebras`/`mistral`; `nvidia` (executor `default`) was missing from the strip allowlist so Codex/Claude-Code passthrough requests 400'd. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executor-default-strip-client-metadata.test.ts` (+nvidia case). (thanks @phidinhmanh)
+- **fix(translator):** strip the Claude-style `thinking` field for **NVIDIA `z-ai/glm-5.2`** (port from 9router#2023, [#6413](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6413)). NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible wrapper 400s on `thinking` (a Claude-format client routed here leaves a `thinking:{type:"adaptive"}`); the existing strip rule only dropped `reasoning`. Same class already handled for `minimax-m2.7`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-minimax-thinking-strip.test.ts` (+glm-5.2 case). (thanks @phidinhmanh)
+- **fix(translator):** suppress the streamed `</think>` close marker for the **Antigravity IDE** client (port from 9router#1061, [#6415](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6415)). On thinking-only turns Antigravity rendered a bare `</think>` as the sole visible content, tripping its loop-detection and wasting requests. Antigravity's UA (`vscode/<v> (Antigravity/<v>)`) is added to the marker-suppress allowlist (alongside OpenCode); Claude Code / Cursor still get the marker, and `x-omniroute-thinking-marker: on` force-restores it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/think-close-marker-suppress-5245.test.ts`. (thanks @abdofallah)
+- **fix(executors):** strip nested `reasoning_content` from messages for **Mistral** (port from 9router#1649, [#6417](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6417)). Mistral's API returns `422 extra_forbidden` when an assistant message carries `reasoning_content` (replayed thinking from a prior turn, e.g. via the Codex `/responses` path); the generic top-level 400 field-downgrade retry never covered the nested per-message field. `DefaultExecutor` now strips it for provider `mistral` only, so DeepSeek (which requires replayed `reasoning_content`) is unaffected. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mistral-strip-reasoning-content-1649.test.ts`. (thanks @xxy9468615)
+- **fix(executors):** strip the `client_metadata` passthrough field on the **OpenCode** path (port from 9router#1442, [#6418](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6418)). OpenCode upstreams (e.g. `kimi-k2.6` via opencode-go) reject it with `400 "Extra inputs are not permitted, field: 'client_metadata'"`; the DefaultExecutor strip only covered cerebras/mistral and `OpencodeExecutor` extends `BaseExecutor` directly, so nothing removed it there. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-strip-client-metadata-1442.test.ts`. (thanks @yanpaing007)
+- **fix(executors):** inject the `reasoning_content` echo for the native **Moonshot Kimi** provider (port from 9router#1480, [#6419](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6419)). Kimi (executor `default`) is a thinking-mode upstream that 400s with "reasoning_content must be passed back" when a prior assistant turn lacks it; the placeholder injection was only wired into the OpenCode meta-provider, so direct multi-turn Kimi conversations failed. Scoped to `kimi` (gateway-served models matching the thinking-model name pattern are unaffected). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kimi-native-reasoning-injected-1480.test.ts`. (thanks @2220258345)
+- **fix(executors):** recover from a strict gateway's `context_management: Extra inputs are not permitted` 400 (port from 9router#1468, [#6420](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6420)). **Claude Code** always sends a top-level `context_management` field; strict anthropic-compatible gateways reject it. The dedicated context-editing 400-fallback only fired when OmniRoute's own `contextEditing` feature was enabled (default off), so a client-sent field passed through untouched and 400'd. `context_management` is now in the generic reactive field-strip list, so it's stripped-and-retried once regardless of the feature flag (with correct request re-signing for claude-compatible relays). Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-field-strips.test.ts`. (thanks @ohahe52-dot)
+- **fix(network):** enable **RFC 8305 Happy Eyeballs** (`autoSelectFamily`) on the direct-egress undici dispatcher (port from 9router#1237, [#6423](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6423)). When DNS returns both IPv6 (AAAA) and IPv4 (A) and the IPv6 route is broken (e.g. a NAT64 `64:ff9b::` prefix without routing), undici tried IPv6 first and hung until `ETIMEDOUT` (then a 502 + account lockout), even though `curl` reached the same host. The direct dispatcher now races both families and uses whichever connects first. Proxy paths pin family via `proxyTls` and are unaffected. Regression guard: `tests/unit/direct-dispatcher-pipelining-4580.test.ts`. (thanks @adentdk)
+- **fix(combo):** round-robin now advances the rotation pointer past the model that **actually served**, not the eagerly-scheduled one (port from 9router#948, [#6428](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6428)). With `stickyLimit: 1` (true round-robin), when the scheduled model failed and a _different_ model served via fallback, the counter had already advanced +1 from the scheduled index — so the next request reused the fallback-served model, degrading round-robin into hot-spotting on whichever model was healthy. The pointer now advances to the served index + 1 (mirroring the sticky-limit>1 path). Session-stickiness (#3825) and distribution are preserved. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-rr-fallback-advance-948.test.ts`. (thanks @binsarjr)
+- **fix(sse):** a non-string `model` field is now rejected with a `400` before the resolver, instead of crashing downstream `.toLowerCase()`/`.split()` calls into an empty-body `500` that escapes the error sanitizer ([#6407](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6407)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/chat-non-string-model-6407.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** unknown `/api/*` routes now return a JSON `404` (instead of the dashboard HTML shell) and scalar chat params (`model`/`temperature`/etc.) are validated **before** the provider lookup so malformed requests fail fast with a clear `400` ([#6424](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6424), [#6412](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6412)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/api/api-catchall-json-404.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chat-early-schema-validation-6412.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/chat/completions` now rejects a non-JSON `Content-Type` with a `400` before parsing the body ([#6414](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6414)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-chat-completions-content-type-6414.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the `X-OmniRoute-Compression` response header is now echoed on `/v1/chat/completions` and `/v1/completions` ([#6422](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6422)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression-header-echo-6422.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** concurrent `GET /v1/models` requests are coalesced into a single catalog build ([#6408](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6408)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-models-concurrent-6408.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/completions` now echoes the requested `body.model` in its JSON + streamed responses ([#6429](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6429)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/completions-body-model-echo.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** env-var master keys now see the full `/v1/models` catalog ([#6406](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6406)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/models-catalog-envkey-6406.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** non-streaming `/v1/completions` responses now echo `body.model` aligned with the `X-OmniRoute-Model` header ([#6426](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6426)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-completions-model-header-match-6426.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** unknown `/v1/*` routes now return a JSON `404 not_found` instead of the Next.js dashboard HTML shell ([#6405](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6405)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api/v1-catchall-json-404.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the per-connection provider models route now degrades to the shipped catalog when a provider's `/models` endpoint answers with a redirect ([#6267](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6267)) — a `qwen-web` import failed with a raw `Redirect blocked … (307)` 503. `safeOutboundFetch` throws `REDIRECT_BLOCKED` on the 307, `getSafeOutboundFetchErrorStatus` maps it to 503, and `buildDiscoveryErrorFallbackResponse` treated every 503 as a hard error — so the non-empty `getModelsByProviderId("qwen-web")` catalog was never surfaced. A models-endpoint redirect is not a fixable-config error (unlike `URL_GUARD_BLOCKED`/`INVALID_URL`, which stay hard errors), so it now falls back to the local/cached catalog before the 503 short-circuit. General fix — covers any config-driven provider that 307s. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-qwen-web-redirect-6267.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the per-connection provider models route (MCP `list_models_catalog` + the dashboard import view) now merges USER-ADDED custom models into its response ([#6247](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6247)) — custom models live in the `key_value` namespace `customModels`, which the live REST `/api/v1/models` already merges, but `src/app/api/providers/[id]/models/route.ts` never read `getCustomModels`, so custom models were dropped on both the discovery-success and local_catalog paths. They are now folded into the returned model list (deduped by id, stamped `owned_by: provider`), fixing MCP + the dashboard import view in one place. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-custom-merge-6247.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo tool-calling follow-up turns no longer fail upstream with `422 {"detail":"Validation error"}` (tokens 0/0, rejected pre-inference). The #6234 tool-result-feedback fix serialized the **entire** multi-turn conversation into GitLab's single-file `code_suggestions` (`small_file`) generation endpoint — folded history that turn-N sent as an oversized `current_file.content_above_cursor` **and** duplicated verbatim into `user_instruction`, tripping the AI-Gateway's `small_file` validation guard. The executor now **bounds** that prompt: it keeps system + latest user message + the most-recent tool round (dropping older turns), caps oversized tool results, and stops duplicating the full prompt into `user_instruction` (which now carries only the short latest user message) — while still feeding the most-recent tool result back so the agent continues (`open-sse/executors/gitlab.ts`, [#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)). The unit test covers the bounding logic; the upstream 422→200 clearing is VPS-only (Hard Rule #18). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-exchange-bounded-6220.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(i18n):** the provider-detail (`/dashboard/providers/[id]`) connection-status filter labels no longer render as `__MISSING__:All` / `__MISSING__:Active` / `__MISSING__:Error` / `__MISSING__:Banned` / `__MISSING__:CreditsExhausted` in non-English locales (notably pt-BR) ([#6290](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6290)). Root cause was **not** the namespace mismatch the issue guessed — the `providers.filter*` keys resolve correctly in `en.json`; the debt lived in the locale mirrors (`src/i18n/messages/*.json`), where these five keys carried the `__MISSING__:` sync sentinel in ~15 locales and were absent entirely in ~26 others, so next-intl found the key and echoed the sentinel verbatim. All 40 non-English/-Chinese mirrors now ship real translations for the five `providers.filter*` labels. Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-provider-filter-keys-6290.test.ts`. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(providers):** the `copilot-m365-web` streaming executor now emits `debug`-level WebSocket diagnostics ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)) — the outbound WS URL (with the `access_token` **redacted** via `redactWsUrl()`), handshake success/failure, and each received SignalR frame's `type`/`target`. Previously the streaming path logged nothing, so an empty `content:null` response (the M365 Education / Starter tier symptom fixed in #6234) was undiagnosable even at `APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug`. The change is debug-level and side-effect-free — it does not alter streaming behavior or the frame parser, and the token never reaches the logs. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-web-logging-6210.test.ts` (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(resilience):** a round-robin combo no longer returns `503 all upstream accounts are unavailable` when a compatibility-rejected target is actually healthy ([#6238](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6238)). `filterTargetsByRequestCompatibility` drops request-incompatible targets (tool/vision/structured-output unsupported, or below the required context window) **before** any availability check runs, and its `compatible.length === 0` safety net only fired when _all_ targets were filtered — not when the kept targets later all turned out runtime-unavailable (circuit-open / cooldown / no credentials). So a combo could 503 while a compat-rejected-but-healthy provider sat unused. `handleRoundRobinCombo` now keeps the compat-rejected set and, when every compat-kept target was skipped without a single real attempt, probes those rejected targets as a **last-resort fallback tier** (via the new pure `open-sse/services/combo/comboCompatFallback.ts`) before crystallizing the 503. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-roundrobin-compat-fallback-6238.test.ts`. (thanks @ThongAccount)
+
+- **fix(startup):** best-effort self-heal for a corrupted Turbopack dev cache on Windows ([#6289](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6289)). On Windows, `pnpm dev` can fail at startup when Turbopack `mmap`s a persistent-cache SST file and the OS refuses the mapping (`os error 1455` — "paging file too small"), which Turbopack surfaces as a misleading `Module not found: Can't resolve '@/shared/utils/machine'`. This is a **known upstream Turbopack cache-corruption bug — not our code**. The dev launcher (`scripts/dev/run-next.mjs`) now wraps `nextApp.prepare()` and, when it rejects with that signature (`isTurbopackCacheCorruption` in the new `scripts/dev/turbopackCacheHeal.mjs`), purges `.build/next/**/cache/turbopack` and retries **once** with a clear log. **Caveat — best-effort only:** the corruption often surfaces as a runtime overlay rather than a `prepare()` rejection, so this cannot always intercept it; the reliable remedy remains manually deleting the Turbopack cache dir.

+- **fix(providers):** qodercli PAT auth no longer fails with `spawn qodercli ENOENT` on Windows ([#6263](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6263)) — `spawnQoderCli` spawned the bare `qodercli` name with `shell:false` and an unenriched env, so the npm `.cmd` wrapper under `%APPDATA%\npm` (a user-PATH directory) was never resolved. It now resolves the absolute `.cmd`/`.exe` path through the existing `getCliRuntimeStatus("qoder")` resolver in `src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts` (memoized), spawns with `shell` when the target is a `.cmd`/`.bat`, and uses the cliRuntime-enriched env (PATH + PATHEXT + APPDATA); the ENOENT error now lists the searched paths plus the `CLI_QODER_BIN` override. End-to-end spawn on a real Windows host is host-only (Hard Rule #18); the path-resolution logic is unit-tested. Regression guard: `tests/unit/qodercli-windows-resolve-6263.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(sse):** the reasoning-token buffer no longer inflates **probe-sized `max_tokens`** ([#6274](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6274)) — Claude Code's `/model` capability check sends `max_tokens: 1`, but for a thinking-capable model with a large output cap (e.g. `glm-5.2`) the #3587 headroom heuristic (`max(current + 1000, ceil(current * 1.5))`) rewrote it to `1001` and forwarded that upstream, wasting tokens on a request that was never a genuine reasoning budget. `resolveReasoningBufferedMaxTokens()` (`open-sse/services/reasoningTokenBuffer.ts`) now short-circuits and returns the caller's value verbatim when it is below the new `REASONING_BUFFER_MIN_TRIGGER` (256) threshold — a tiny explicit limit is a probe, not a reasoning request. Real budgets still receive the #3587 headroom unchanged, and the guard runs after the existing capability checks so unknown / non-reasoning models keep returning `null`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/reasoning-token-buffer-6274.test.ts`. (thanks @brightfiscalband)
+
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute reset-password` now works as a real subcommand, and password resets over piped (non-TTY) stdin actually apply ([#6261](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6261), [#6258](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6258)). Two coupled defects: (1) **#6261** — `bin/omniroute.mjs` routed everything through Commander with only two pre-Commander bypasses (`--mcp`, `reset-encrypted-columns`), so `omniroute reset-password` was rejected as an unknown command; only the separate `omniroute-reset-password` bin worked, while the docs falsely advertised the subcommand (incl. a bogus "legacy alias still works"). A pre-Commander bypass mirroring `reset-encrypted-columns` now dynamically imports `bin/reset-password.mjs` (which self-executes) before Commander parses; the three doc lines were corrected. (2) **#6258** — `bin/reset-password.mjs` issued two sequential `rl.question` prompts; under piped stdin the second read never settled at EOF, so `main()` never reached `resetManagementPassword` and the reset was a silent no-op (both prompts printed, no success, password unchanged). The CLI now detects non-TTY stdin and reads it once (first line = password, second line = confirm if present, else reused), adds a `--password-stdin` flag (entire stdin is the password, no confirmation), and exits `0` explicitly so the success line always flushes; interactive TTY behavior is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/reset-password-cli-6261-6258.test.ts` (3). (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(db):** the mass-migration **safety abort** now tells the operator how to bypass it and stops flooding the log ([#6260](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6260)) — after restoring a backup that wiped the migration tracking table, `runMigrations()` threw the abort on every downstream `ensureDbInitialized()`, re-logging the full banner 11+ times, and the message never mentioned the existing `OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS` escape hatch. The abort text now appends a bypass hint (set `OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS=0` in `server.env` / `DATA_DIR/.env`), and a new `MigrationSafetyAbortError` is memoized so repeated calls in the same process throw the same instance and emit a single concise line instead of the full cascade. Regression guard: `tests/unit/migration-safety-abort-6260.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(auth):** importing a **distinct** Codex/ChatGPT OAuth `auth.json` is no longer falsely rejected as "already exists" when it belongs to a different user in the same workspace ([#6301](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6301)). `findExistingCodexConnection` (in `src/lib/oauth/utils/codexAuthImport.ts`) deduped **only** on `providerSpecificData.workspaceId === accountId`, where `accountId` is the shared `chatgpt_account_id`/`tokens.account_id` — so two members of the same ChatGPT Team collapsed onto a single connection (409 `duplicate_account`). The id_token's `https://api.openai.com/auth` claim carries a per-user `chatgpt_user_id` alongside the workspace id (the device-flow path already persisted it as `chatgptUserId`, but the import path did not). Now `parseAndValidateCodexAuth` extracts `userId` (`chatgpt_user_id` → `user_id` → JWT `sub`) into `ParsedCodexAuth`, the create/update paths persist `chatgptUserId` in `providerSpecificData` (mirroring `codex.ts`), and dedup keys on `workspaceId` **AND** `chatgptUserId` — with a backward-compat fallback to legacy accountId-only matching when no stored connection for that workspace records a `chatgptUserId`, so genuinely-same accounts still dedup. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-auth-import-userid-dedup-6301.test.ts` (4). (thanks @anungma)
+
+- **fix(providers):** importing models for the **venice-web** provider no longer fails with a red "Provider venice-web does not support models listing" ([#6269](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6269)). `venice-web` is a web-cookie provider with an executor but no upstream `/v1/models` endpoint and no registry `models`, so the models route fell through to the tail `400`. Mirroring the `jules`/`linkup-search`/`ollama-search` fix (#5569), it now ships a static local catalog entry in `src/lib/providers/staticModels.ts` — seeding the current Venice lineup (`venice-uncensored`, `llama-3.3-70b`, `qwen3-235b`, `qwen3-4b`, `deepseek-r1-671b`; Venice rotates its catalog, see docs.venice.ai/models/overview) — so the route returns `200` with `source:"local_catalog"`, `intentional:true`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/static-models-venice-web-6269.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(api):** the specialty model catalogs (`/v1/embeddings`, `/v1/images`, `/v1/music`, `/v1/videos` model lists) are now derived from the **unified catalog filtered by a predicate** (`getSpecialtyModelsResponse`) instead of ad-hoc per-route logic, so they consistently respect active-credential visibility and stay in sync with the main catalog ([#6303](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6303)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/specialty-model-catalog-routes.test.ts`. (thanks @makcimbx)
+- **fix(api):** the agent-bridge server route now resolves the MITM manager via a **dynamic `import("@/mitm/manager.runtime")`** so Turbopack does not statically pull the stub (or over-bundle the manager), and the agent-skills generator anchors its output base path with `path.join(process.cwd(), …)` so Turbopack's static analyzer stops tracing the whole project root ([#6329](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6329), [#6366](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6366)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/agent-bridge-server-route-dynamic-import.test.ts`. (thanks @Iammilansoni)
+- **fix(api):** internal probes (combo-test, cloud-sync verify) now pick a **management-scoped / allow-all API key** instead of naively grabbing `getApiKeys()[0]` — a restricted `self:usage` first row made the probe fail with "Model X is not allowed for this API key" even when the combo path was healthy (`pickApiKeyForInternalUse` in `src/lib/db/apiKeys.ts`). The API-manager model editor also falls back to `/api/models?all=true` when `/v1/models` is catalog-protected ([#6372](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6372)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/pick-internal-api-key-6372.test.ts`. (thanks @jmengit)
+- **fix(live-ws):** the Live Dashboard WebSocket server now **rejects on bind failure** (e.g. `EADDRINUSE` when the API bridge already holds the port) instead of letting the error surface as an unhandled `error` event that crash-loops the process — the `error` listener is attached to `wss` (not `server`) and releases the EventBus subscription on a failed start ([#6324](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6324)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/live-ws-eaddrinuse-6324.test.ts`. (thanks @vinayakkulkarni)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the Home provider-topology widget now trusts the live provider-metrics snapshot — it uses `topology.errorProvider` and live `activeRequests` directly instead of re-deriving state from a stale `lastErrorAt` or applying a frontend timeout filter, so the topology reflects real-time provider health ([#6322](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6322)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/home-provider-topology-live-state.test.ts`. (thanks @xz-dev)
+- **fix(sse):** strip zero-width markers from streamed **tool-call arguments** — a follow-up to [#5857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5857). That PR removed injected zero-width joiners (U+200D) from streamed assistant text/reasoning but deliberately left tool-call argument JSON byte-exact. The request-side obfuscation (`open-sse/services/claudeCodeObfuscation.ts`) injects ZWJ into agent words — including the temp path inside the Bash tool description — and Claude models copy that verbatim into generated commands, which are delivered as tool-call arguments rather than assistant text. As a result the ZWJ survived and corrupted code blocks (e.g. a temp path rendered with an invisible joiner). Now `open-sse/handlers/responseSanitizer.ts` strips zero-width code points from tool-call argument strings at every emit site (OpenAI non-stream/stream chat `tool_calls` + legacy `function_call`, native Responses `function_call` items, the OpenAI→Responses conversion, and the native Responses streaming `response.function_call_arguments.delta/.done` events). Only zero-width code points are removed; JSON structure and all other bytes stay identical (no parse/restringify), so normal arguments remain byte-exact. Regression guard: 6 new cases in `tests/unit/response-sanitizer.test.ts` (suite 50/50).
+
+- **fix(nodejs):** the default app log path now resolves under `DATA_DIR` (`~/.omniroute/logs/application/app.log`) instead of `process.cwd()` ([#6197](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6197)) — the globally-installed CLI runs from an arbitrary working directory, so anchoring the default to cwd made file logging silently write to (or no-op under) an unrelated directory, contradicting the documented `.env.example` default. `getAppLogFilePath()` now computes the default lazily via the pure `resolveDataDir()` resolver (honours a per-process `DATA_DIR`, no directory-creation side effect); an explicit `APP_LOG_FILE_PATH` still wins. Regression guard: `tests/unit/logenv-datadir-path-6197.test.ts` (3).
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge/`startMitm` no longer aborts in containers/headless when the Antigravity-default DNS step can't write `/etc/hosts` ([#6127](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6127)), and the privileged command's stderr now reaches `app.log` instead of only a bare exit code hitting the toast ([#6198](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6198)). The default DNS step (`addDNSEntry`) was called unguarded while cert install and the two sibling DNS steps were each best-effort — in the runtime Docker image (`USER node`, no `sudo`, read-only `/etc/hosts`) it threw `Command failed with code 1` out of `startMitmInternal` and killed the whole start, discarding the stderr. The three DNS steps are extracted into a best-effort `provisionDnsEntries()` where each failure is logged with the full `err` (stderr included, folded in by `systemCommands.ts`) and never aborts the start. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-dns-graceful-degrade-6127.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** copilot-m365-web now supports the M365 Education "Starter / OfficeWebIncludedCopilot" tier and no longer returns an empty `content:null` stream ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)). Two gaps: (1) `buildWsUrl()` hardcoded the individual-consumer scenario (`OfficeWebPaidConsumerCopilot`, `isEdu=false`) — the EDU tier is now opt-in via `providerSpecificData.tier="edu"`, emitting `scenario=OfficeWebIncludedCopilot`/`isEdu=true` (the individual path is unchanged); (2) the EDU/GPT-5.5 path streams deltas via `arguments[0].writeAtCursor` (incremental) instead of only `messages[].text` (accumulated snapshots), which the parser dropped — a new `accumulateBotContent()` folds both formats, with `type:2 item.result.message` as a last-resort fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-edu-writeatcursor-6210.test.ts` (10). (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo executor now feeds tool results back into the prompt instead of looping ([#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)) — `buildPrompt()` branched only on `system`/`user` and took `userParts.at(-1)`, silently dropping the `assistant{tool_calls}` + `tool{result}` turns the client appended, so the reconstructed prompt was byte-identical to turn 1 and the model re-emitted the same `<tool>` call forever. When a tool exchange is present the full conversation is now serialized, folding each tool result back keyed by its `tool_call_id`; simple conversations keep the legacy shape. Complements the tool_call emission from [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051) (the `kilo-duplicate` label was a false positive — different, sequential defect). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-result-feedback-6220.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** opencode-go/opencode-zen can now synthesize the OpenCode CLI identity headers Cloudflare requires on VPS egress ([#5997](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5997)) — on a datacenter VPS, `opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/chat/completions` 403s (HTML challenge) requests lacking CLI identity, while the reporter's control curl proved that `User-Agent: opencode-cli/1.0.0` + `x-opencode-client: cli` + `x-opencode-project: default` + fresh request/session UUIDs succeed. Opt-in via `OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS=true` (values overridable via `OPENCODE_GO_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_CLIENT`/`OPENCODE_PROJECT`); it fills only headers the client did not already send. Kept **off by default** — the forward-only path is deliberate (fabricating a wrong value risks upstream rejection; a prior dedup regressed with `opencode/local`), so this replaces the fragile local header-injection shim without changing default behavior. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-cli-headers-synthesis-5997.test.ts` (6). (thanks @aleksesipenko)
+- fix(resilience): sticky session affinity now evicts and fails over to another account when the pinned account is exhausted/unavailable (#6219)
+
+- fix(sse): Responses API passthrough now drops internal commentary-phase output before forwarding to clients (gated by RESPONSES_PASSTHROUGH_DROP_COMMENTARY, default on) (#6199)
+
+- **fix(sse):** tool-call function schemas with a root `type: null` are now coerced to `type: "object"` before dispatch ([#6359](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6359)) — clients like the Codex app emit `parameters: { type: null, ... }` for some tools, which OpenAI-compatible upstreams reject with `400 Invalid schema for function '...': schema must be a JSON Schema of 'type: "object"', got 'type: null'`, failing the whole request. `toolSchemaSanitizer` already stripped the null; it now re-adds the mandatory root `"object"` type (and empty `properties`/open `additionalProperties` when absent). Combinator roots (`anyOf`/`oneOf`/`allOf`) and explicit root types are left untouched. Regression guard: 5 new cases in `tests/unit/tool-schema-sanitizer.test.mjs`.
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge no longer fails to start on npm/Electron/VPS installs with "MITM manager stub reached at runtime" ([#6344](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6344)) — v3.8.45 flipped the production bundler default to Turbopack, but `next.config.mjs` aliased `@/mitm/manager` to its Docker-only degraded stub **unconditionally**. That was harmless while Docker (which sets the alias intentionally for #3390 graceful degradation) was the sole Turbopack consumer, but once every artifact built with Turbopack the stub shipped to all non-Docker users and `startMitm` threw on the first Agent-Bridge start. The alias is now opt-in via `OMNIROUTE_MITM_STUB=1` (set only by the Dockerfile) through the shared `scripts/build/mitm-stub-flag.mjs` helper; default builds bundle the real manager. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-stub-alias-6344.test.mjs` (4).
+
+- **fix(proxy):** stop the v3.8.44 proxy regression that leaked the real IP and disabled healthy proxies ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Two coupled defects from the new health scheduler: (1) **IP leak** — when a proxy assigned to a connection was marked `inactive`, resolution fell through to a **direct** egress instead of blocking, exposing the operator's real IP; (2) **over-deactivation** — the sweep flipped a proxy to `inactive` on the **first** failed probe and counted our own 5s timeout / a probe-target `5xx` as the proxy's fault, so healthy paid proxies vanished from egress selection ("my proxies are not being used anymore"). Fix: the sweep decision is extracted into a pure, network-free `decideProxyHealthAction` (`src/lib/proxyHealth/decision.ts`) — by default the health check now **only counts/logs and never downgrades status** (a proxy is downgraded/removed only with `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE=true`, after `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE_AFTER` **consecutive** conclusive failures); probes are classified tri-state so an inconclusive result (our timeout, or a `5xx` from the probe target) never penalizes the proxy, and the probe timeout is raised 5s→15s. Separately, `safeResolveProxy` now **fails closed** via the existing policy: a connection whose assigned proxy is dead is blocked instead of leaking direct (`hasBlockingProxyAssignment`), honoring the explicit `proxy off` toggles and the `PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true` opt-out. Existing proxies stuck `inactive` by the old behavior need a one-time manual re-activate (the operator owns proxy status). Regression guards: `tests/unit/proxy-health-decide-action-6246.test.ts`, `tests/unit/proxy-assigned-unavailable-6246.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(proxy):** make "Test All" read-only and add bulk enable/disable ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Complements the core fail-closed / scheduler fix (#6296) with the two remaining reporter asks. (1) The **"Test All" button** (`POST /api/settings/proxies/auto-test`) used to flip a proxy to `inactive` on a failed reachability probe; since the egress selector excludes `inactive` proxies, a flaky probe (an unreachable `httpbin.org`, a proxy that blocks `HEAD`, or a slow paid proxy) silently disabled every proxy that failed — "Test All" is now **read-only by default** (only the operator sets a proxy active/inactive; opt back into the legacy test-and-set with `PROXY_HEALTH_AUTO_DEACTIVATE=true`). (2) Adds a **bulk enable/disable** proxies endpoint + toolbar action (`POST /api/settings/proxies/batch-activate`) so an operator can re-activate proxies in one click. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-health-6246.test.ts`. (thanks @tenshiak)
+
+- **chatcore (tools): stop the default 128-tool cap from silently dropping opencode's `task`/MCP tools.** opencode (used as an MCP/agent host) sends a large tool list; when it exceeds the speculative `MAX_TOOLS_LIMIT` (128) default, `truncateToolList` did a blind `tools.slice(0, 128)`, dropping every tool past index 128 — including opencode's built-in `task` tool (subagent launch) and many MCP tools, so models routed through OmniRoute could no longer spawn subagents or reach part of their tools. The cap exists to avoid upstream `400`s for providers with real hard limits (e.g. grok-cli 200), so it is kept for those: detection of the opencode client (`isOpencodeClient` — any `x-opencode-*` header, or `opencode` in the user-agent) now only bypasses the **speculative 128 default**, never a known provider ceiling. Precedence is explicit — a proactive/detected provider limit always truncates (even for opencode); otherwise opencode forwards its full tool list; otherwise the unchanged 128 default applies to every other client. Refactors `getEffectiveToolLimit` into `getKnownToolLimit(provider) ?? DEFAULT_LIMIT` (byte-identical for existing callers) and fixes a cosmetic debug-log that reported the truncated count instead of the original. Regression guard: `tests/unit/tool-limit-detector.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the macOS MITM-cert install check now matches the system keychain again. `security find-certificate -a -Z` prints the SHA-1 as a colon-less hex string, but the installed-check compared it against `getCertFingerprint()`'s colon-separated form, so the substring match never hit — the cert was reported as not-installed and re-prompted for the sudo install on every run. Fingerprints are now normalized (colons stripped, upper-cased) on both sides via the extracted `macCertOutputHasFingerprint` helper. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-cert-mac-fingerprint.test.ts`. ([#6204](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6204), closes [#6134](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6134) — thanks @rianonehub)
+
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/messages/count_tokens` now counts `tool_use`, `tool_result` and `thinking` content blocks (and array-form `system` prompts) in the local-estimation path, instead of only `text`. Real agentic conversations keep ~95% of their tokens inside tool results; the previous estimate returned near-zero for them, which silently broke Claude Code's auto-compaction (context grew past the window with no compaction until the upstream API rejected the request). The real provider-side count path is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/messages-count-tokens-route.test.ts`. ([#6221](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6221) — thanks @luweiCN)
+
+- **fix(antigravity):** strip a trailing assistant prefill turn for Vertex Claude models to avoid upstream 400s ([#6114](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6114)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-claude-prefill-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(security):** the mutable cloud-agent routes (`/api/cloud/credentials/update`, `/api/cloud/models/alias`) now require management auth instead of being treated as public. They were classified as public API routes, so a request without management credentials could update stored cloud-agent credentials and model aliases. They are removed from the public-route set, classified as management routes in the authz pipeline, and gated by `requireManagementAuth`; cloud **read**/auth routes stay public. Regression guards: `tests/unit/cloud-write-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts`, `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6233](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6233) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+
+- **refactor(dashboard):** extract the onboarding-wizard "Open provider details" link target into a pure, unit-tested `buildProviderDetailsHref(connection)` helper. The wizard already routes by `connection.id` (the node UUID) rather than the provider category slug (#6144/#6145); this hardens that behavior behind a tested helper that guards a missing id/connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-onboarding-href.test.ts`. ([#6166](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6166) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+
+- **fix(security):** the doubao synthetic device-id generator now derives its digits via an unbiased crypto-random draw (rejection sampling over `crypto.randomBytes()`) instead of a `% 10` reduction, closing a CodeQL `js/biased-cryptographic-random` finding.
+- **fix(agentSkills):** the GitHub-skills generator now resolves `outputDir` to an absolute path before writing, fixing a regression introduced by #6366 (relative-to-cwd base path) that could write generated skill files to the wrong directory.
+- **fix(security):** `/api/keys/{id}/devices` now checks the HTTP method before auth/validation, returning a `405` for non-GET/DELETE verbs instead of a misleading `401`/`500` (closes a `dast-smoke` QUERY-method finding).
+- **fix(quality):** clear the last 2 heavy quality-gate reds on the release tip (cycle pre-flight).
+- **fix(mitm):** the test suite and CI can never mutate the OS trust store — `OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1` is set globally for tests/CI so `installCert`/`uninstallCert`/`installTproxyCa` skip the privileged OS dispatch ([#6310](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6310); full detail is under the [3.8.45] section below — this branch received it via the parallel-cycle sync-back).
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/github-skills` now Zod-validates its request body; documented the new quality-gate env vars and pinned the merge-integrity GitHub Actions to a commit SHA.
+- **fix(skills):** generate the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry and align the agent-skills catalog-count tests (follow-up to #6186).
+- **fix(quality):** clear the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors and make `validate-release-green` suppressions-aware.
+- **fix(security):** proxy-pool `random` rotation now selects via `crypto.randomInt` instead of `Math.random` — silences the post-release CodeQL `js/insecure-randomness` alerts (#698/#699) that flagged `Math.random` flowing into the selected proxy's credentials. Load-balancing selection is not a secret, but the crypto source is unbiased and clears the alert at the origin (#6365 follow-up).

+- **chore(providers):** remove deprecated **MiMo V2** model entries from the catalogs (xiaomi-mimo, opencode-go, zenmux-free, audio TTS) — the upstream V2 line is superseded by MiMo V2.5; drops `mimo-v2-tts`, `mimo-v2-pro`, `mimo-v2-omni`, `mimo-v2-flash`, `mimo-v2-flash-free` and realigns the provider-catalog tests.

CI/release-pipeline work: #6167, #6203, #6214, #6215, #6218, #6273, #6275, #6283, #6284, #6285, #6300, #6305.
+- **chore(release):** additional zero-ref release-cycle plumbing on this branch, kept out of `release:uncovered` on purpose (no `#N` in the commit subject to cite): opening the v3.8.46 cycle, opening/closing the v3.8.45 cycle, the finalized [3.8.45] CHANGELOG i18n sync-back to 42 mirrors, the v3.8.45 cognitive/cyclomatic and file-size drift rebaselines, ESLint stale-suppression pruning (4,273 → 4,233), and clearing test-masking/docs-all pre-flight reds for v3.8.45.
+
+### ⚡ Performance & Infrastructure
+
+- **perf(release-green):** the pre-flight validator (`scripts/quality/validate-release-green.mjs`) now runs its 4 slow suites (unit / vitest / integration / pack-artifact) **concurrently** via `Promise.all` — pre-flight wall time drops from ~the sum of the suites to ~the slowest one (~30min saved per round; Phase 0 was the nº1 bottleneck of the v3.8.45 release benchmark, 2h54 of 6h34 e2e). Guard: `tests/unit/validate-release-green.test.ts` ("runs the slow suites CONCURRENTLY"). ([#6319](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6319))
+- **fix(ci):** `scripts/release/sync-next-cycle.mjs` — two defects found live in its first production run (v3.8.45 Phase 5): (1) the `git()` helper's default 1 MiB `maxBuffer` crashed with `ENOBUFS` on `git show origin/main:CHANGELOG.md` (the CHANGELOG alone is >1 MiB) — widened to 64 MiB; (2) the i18n resync only propagated the `[NEXT]` (TBD) section, leaving the just-shipped finalized section as "— TBD" in all 42 mirrors — it now also syncs `[prevVersion]` bounded by the heading below it (new exported pure helper `versionAfter`). Guards: +5 tests in `tests/unit/sync-next-cycle.test.ts` (8/8). ([#6327](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6327))
+- **test(ci):** concurrency-sensitive flaky tests are **quarantined into a serial pass** (`tests/unit/serial/`, `--test-concurrency=1`, appended to every unit runner incl. sharded variants — the serial pass is sharded too so concurrent shard jobs never self-collide). Initial set: `glm-coding-plan-monthly-3580`, `quota-division-blocks`, `provider-health-autopilot`, `combo-health-autopilot` — the class behind the ~28min CI wedges/re-runs (two live 1h+ wedges cancelled during this PR's own validation). Discovery + TIA gates track the new glob; systemic root cause (async logger writing after teardown) tracked in [#6360](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6360). Guard: `tests/unit/test-serial-quarantine.test.ts` (4). ([#6347](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6347))

+## [3.8.45] — 2026-07-06
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(providers):** add **Yuanbao (web)** as a cookie-session provider ([#6196](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6196)) — `yuanbao-web` (Tencent Yuanbao, `yuanbao.tencent.com`) with cookie-only auth (`hy_user`/`hy_token` + public agent id), SSE→OpenAI translation incl. `reasoning_content`, exposing DeepSeek V3/R1 + Hunyuan / Hunyuan-T1. Regression guard: `tests/unit/providers-yuanbao-web.test.ts`. `together-web` was **deferred** (no verifiable web-session endpoint — needs a captured request) and `huggingchat-web` **dropped** (the existing `huggingchat` already is a web-cookie provider). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** route the built-in **agentrouter** through the dynamic Claude-Code wire image ([#6056](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6056)) — a small static allow-set (`CC_WIRE_IMAGE_BUILTINS` in `open-sse/services/ccWireImageBuiltins.ts`), consulted by `isClaudeCodeCompatible` / `isClaudeCodeCompatibleProvider` / `applyFingerprint`, makes agentrouter adopt the CC wire-image headers + fingerprint **while guarding the CC baseUrl/auth branches** so it keeps its own registry `baseUrl` and `x-api-key` auth. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentrouter-cc-wire-image.test.ts` (asserts the wire image is applied AND agentrouter's baseUrl/auth are preserved). Live WAF-acceptance against agentrouter.org is a VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18).
+- **feat(providers):** **bulk-add API keys for Cloudflare Workers AI** ([#6174](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6174)) — `cloudflare-ai` is removed from the bulk-add exclusion list and the bulk parser gains a 3-field `name|accountId|apiKey` mode; the bulk route now builds a **per-entry** `providerSpecificData` so each key carries its own `accountId` (fixing the previous shared-object reuse), and both the create + key-validation paths receive it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/bulk-api-key-parser-cloudflare.test.ts`. (thanks @muflifadla38)
+- **feat(dashboard):** routing/settings UX clarity ([#6147](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6147)) — (1) weighted combos show the **effective routing share %** next to each weight when weights don't sum to 100 (`WeightTotalBar.tsx`); (2) the status widget's user-facing **"Cloud Sync" label is renamed** to "Remote Settings Sync" (`CloudSyncStatus.tsx`; internal ids/state untouched); (3) built-in providers gain an **opt-in advanced base-URL override** (`isBaseUrlOverrideEligibleProvider`, hidden behind an "Advanced" toggle, reusing the existing `providerSpecificData.baseUrl` persistence — not globally widened). Regression guard: `tests/unit/routing-settings-ux-6147.test.ts`.
+- **feat(combo):** add an option to **disable session stickiness**, per-combo or globally — round-robin / random combos can rotate to a different connection on every request instead of pinning a whole conversation to one connection by its first-message hash. Resolution precedence per-combo `config.disableSessionStickiness` → global `settings.disableSessionStickiness` → default `false` (preserves the #3825 prompt-cache/504 fix); gates **both** stickiness call sites in `open-sse/services/combo.ts`. Exposed as a global toggle (Combo Defaults) and a per-combo Inherit/on/off control. ([#6168](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6168)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-disable-session-stickiness.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+- **feat(docker):** add the `OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO` env flag for root-less / user-namespaced deployments — the MITM cert-trust command path (`resolveSudoSpawn` in `src/mitm/systemCommands.ts`) now strips the leading `sudo` when the flag is truthy, in addition to the existing root / sudo-missing cases, so the Proxy Agent runs without `sudo` (the operator trusts the CA manually, e.g. via `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`). Argv-array `spawn` preserved — no shell interpolation (Hard Rule #13). ([#6122](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6122)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-systemCommands-no-sudo.test.ts`. (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Requesty** as an OpenAI-compatible gateway provider (BYOK, base `https://router.requesty.ai/v1`, ~200 free requests/day) — wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/requesty/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/gateways.ts`). ([#6120](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6120)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/requesty-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add **configured-only / available-only filters** to the Free Provider Rankings page ([#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150)) — hide providers you haven't configured, or whose connections are all rate-limited / out of quota, via server-side query params (`?configuredOnly` / `?availableOnly` on `GET /api/free-provider-rankings`) backed by a testable lib helper reusing the in-process connection state (no Redis). Both filters default off, so the default view is unchanged; this supersedes the earlier client-side "Configured Only" toggle (#6245) with an available-only dimension and unit-tested logic. Regression guard: `tests/unit/freeProviderRankings-filters.test.ts`.
+- **feat(rankings):** add a **'Configured Only'** filter to the Free Provider Rankings page, so the table can be narrowed to just the providers you have configured connections for (with an empty-state hint when none are configured). New `en.json` keys and a pure filter helper covered by `tests/unit/free-provider-rankings-configured-filter.test.ts`. ([#6245](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6245), closes [#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150) — thanks @Iammilansoni)
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the test suite and CI can never mutate the OS trust store again — `OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1` (set by the global test setup and all CI workflows) makes `installCert`/`uninstallCert`/`installTproxyCa` skip the privileged OS dispatch while preserving the #4546 environment-skip contract. Root cause of the self-hosted runner incident: a cert-flow integration test installed a 105-byte fake PEM into `/usr/local/share/ca-certificates`, breaking ALL system TLS on the VM. Regression guard: `tests/unit/system-trust-test-guard.test.ts`. ([#6310](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6310))
+- **fix(security):** `/api/keys/{id}/devices` answers a clean method-first **405** for undocumented HTTP methods (e.g. the new `QUERY`) via a dedicated `http-method-guard` rule — the auth layer was answering 401 first, failing schemathesis's unsupported-methods check. Same pattern as the v3.8.44 TRACE fix. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dast-method-not-allowed.test.ts`.
+- **fix(combo):** the #6216 empty-stream failover is restricted to **truly empty bodies** (zero bytes — the Gemini HTTP-200-empty case), restoring the #3399/#3685 pass-through contracts for `[DONE]`-terminated empty streams and incomplete Claude lifecycles. New guard: `#5976 truly EMPTY streaming body → invalid for combo failover` (87/87 across both suites).
+- **fix(combo):** 5 streaming-path fixes — locked-stream 500, error-frame-only-if-no-content, Gemini `MALFORMED_RESPONSE`→content_filter failover, correlationId substring search, per-model-500 lockout skip + request-logger UI detail. Maintainer follow-up: `releaseQualityClone` cancels the abandoned quality-check tee branch (per-request memory) + regression test. ([#6216](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6216) — thanks @hartmark)
+- **fix(skills):** generate the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry (the #6186 catalog addition never ran the generator — 8 integration assertions split between old/new counts) and align the agent-skills catalog counts across integration + unit suites (43 = 23 API + 20 CLI; 44 with config).
+- **fix(a2a):** finish the #6186 catalog-count update — `listCapabilities` metadata reported `coverage.api.total: 22` (type literal + value) and `SkillCoverageSchema` pinned `z.literal(22)`, so the schema would REJECT the correct runtime value with 23 API skills. All three aligned to 23.
+- **fix(github-skills):** add a missing import, unit tests and a settings JSON-parse fix for the GitHub agent-skill discovery/import flow. ([#6186](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6186) — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/github-skills` validates its body with a Zod schema (`validateBody`) instead of blind `request.json()` destructuring — a non-array `targets` would crash `.map`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/github-skills-route-validation.test.ts`.
+- **fix(docker):** add `id=` to the BuildKit cache mounts so strict builders (e.g. buildkitd with strict frontend parsing) accept the Dockerfile. ([#6291](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6291) — thanks @karimalsalah)
+- **fix(oauth):** register `zed` in the OAuth `PROVIDERS` map (fixes "Unknown provider" on the Zed sign-in flow) ([#6078](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6078) — thanks @anki1kr), and align `zed` in `OAUTH_PROVIDER_IDS` + the config enum after the merge.
+- **fix(doubao-web):** switch the Doubao web provider to the Dola global endpoint. ([#6235](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6235) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(doctor):** resolve two false-positive WARNs in the doctor diagnostics ([#6163](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6163), closes [#6162](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6162) — thanks @arssnndr)
+- **fix(providers):** refresh the GitHub Copilot model catalog to the current upstream set. ([#6154](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6154) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(providers):** correct the Kiro model catalog to real upstream ids — fabricated `claude-opus-4.7`/`claude-sonnet-4.6` entries removed, real `claude-sonnet-5`/`claude-sonnet-4.5`/`claude-haiku-4.5` kept. ([#6170](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6170))
+- **feat(sse):** surface Kiro adaptive-thinking reasoning frames as `reasoning_content` in the OpenAI-shaped stream. ([#6213](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6213) — thanks @VXNCXNX)
+- **fix(cli):** use `OMNIROUTE_SERVER_HOST` instead of the POSIX auto-set `HOSTNAME` for the bind address (fixes wrong bind on POSIX shells that export HOSTNAME). ([#6195](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6195), closes [#6194](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6194) — thanks @Theadd)
+- **feat(provider):** add Claude 5 Sonnet to the Claude Web provider catalog. ([#6209](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6209), closes [#6200](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6200) — thanks @Iammilansoni)
+- **fix(providers):** add `nvidia` to `PROVIDER_TOOL_LIMITS` (1536) to prevent silent tool-list truncation. ([#6177](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6177) — thanks @LuisAlejandroVega)
+- **fix(translator):** strip the `reasoning` param for nvidia `z-ai/glm-5.2` (upstream 400s on it). ([#6181](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6181) — thanks @kanztu)
+- **fix(dashboard):** providers page gains a data-timeout guard and the live-WS standalone wiring (no more indefinite spinner when the data fetch stalls). ([#6211](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6211))
+- **fix(sse):** surface the ChatGPT-web image silent-drop as an accurate error instead of an empty success. ([#6208](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6208))
+- **fix(cline):** force upstream streaming for Cline/ClinePass (streaming-only API) — non-stream client requests are served from the buffered SSE. ([#6165](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6165))
+- **fix(dashboard):** remove the always-on Auto-Routing (combo) banner from the home page — it did not reflect live routing state and reappeared on every fresh browser. Replacement guard: `tests/unit/home-no-autorouting-banner.test.ts`. ([#6164](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6164))
+- **fix(dashboard):** stop a model-test error from freezing the page (React #31 object-as-child toast) — errors go through `extractApiErrorMessage`. ([#6161](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6161))
+- **fix(oauth):** extract the keychain-import-only guard to its own module, restoring the oauth file-size freeze. ([#6158](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6158))
+
+- **fix(sse):** strip zero-width markers from streamed **tool-call arguments** — a follow-up to [#5857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5857). That PR removed injected zero-width joiners (U+200D) from streamed assistant text/reasoning but deliberately left tool-call argument JSON byte-exact. The request-side obfuscation (`open-sse/services/claudeCodeObfuscation.ts`) injects ZWJ into agent words — including the temp path inside the Bash tool description — and Claude models copy that verbatim into generated commands, which are delivered as tool-call arguments rather than assistant text. As a result the ZWJ survived and corrupted code blocks (e.g. a temp path rendered with an invisible joiner). Now `open-sse/handlers/responseSanitizer.ts` strips zero-width code points from tool-call argument strings at every emit site (OpenAI non-stream/stream chat `tool_calls` + legacy `function_call`, native Responses `function_call` items, the OpenAI→Responses conversion, and the native Responses streaming `response.function_call_arguments.delta/.done` events). Only zero-width code points are removed; JSON structure and all other bytes stay identical (no parse/restringify), so normal arguments remain byte-exact. Regression guard: 6 new cases in `tests/unit/response-sanitizer.test.ts` (suite 50/50).
+
+- **fix(nodejs):** the default app log path now resolves under `DATA_DIR` (`~/.omniroute/logs/application/app.log`) instead of `process.cwd()` ([#6197](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6197)) — the globally-installed CLI runs from an arbitrary working directory, so anchoring the default to cwd made file logging silently write to (or no-op under) an unrelated directory, contradicting the documented `.env.example` default. `getAppLogFilePath()` now computes the default lazily via the pure `resolveDataDir()` resolver (honours a per-process `DATA_DIR`, no directory-creation side effect); an explicit `APP_LOG_FILE_PATH` still wins. Regression guard: `tests/unit/logenv-datadir-path-6197.test.ts` (3). (root cause independently diagnosed by @subhansh-dev in [#6298](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6298) — thanks!)
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge/`startMitm` no longer aborts in containers/headless when the Antigravity-default DNS step can't write `/etc/hosts` ([#6127](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6127)), and the privileged command's stderr now reaches `app.log` instead of only a bare exit code hitting the toast ([#6198](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6198)). The default DNS step (`addDNSEntry`) was called unguarded while cert install and the two sibling DNS steps were each best-effort — in the runtime Docker image (`USER node`, no `sudo`, read-only `/etc/hosts`) it threw `Command failed with code 1` out of `startMitmInternal` and killed the whole start, discarding the stderr. The three DNS steps are extracted into a best-effort `provisionDnsEntries()` where each failure is logged with the full `err` (stderr included, folded in by `systemCommands.ts`) and never aborts the start. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-dns-graceful-degrade-6127.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** copilot-m365-web now supports the M365 Education "Starter / OfficeWebIncludedCopilot" tier and no longer returns an empty `content:null` stream ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)). Two gaps: (1) `buildWsUrl()` hardcoded the individual-consumer scenario (`OfficeWebPaidConsumerCopilot`, `isEdu=false`) — the EDU tier is now opt-in via `providerSpecificData.tier="edu"`, emitting `scenario=OfficeWebIncludedCopilot`/`isEdu=true` (the individual path is unchanged); (2) the EDU/GPT-5.5 path streams deltas via `arguments[0].writeAtCursor` (incremental) instead of only `messages[].text` (accumulated snapshots), which the parser dropped — a new `accumulateBotContent()` folds both formats, with `type:2 item.result.message` as a last-resort fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-edu-writeatcursor-6210.test.ts` (10). (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo executor now feeds tool results back into the prompt instead of looping ([#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)) — `buildPrompt()` branched only on `system`/`user` and took `userParts.at(-1)`, silently dropping the `assistant{tool_calls}` + `tool{result}` turns the client appended, so the reconstructed prompt was byte-identical to turn 1 and the model re-emitted the same `<tool>` call forever. When a tool exchange is present the full conversation is now serialized, folding each tool result back keyed by its `tool_call_id`; simple conversations keep the legacy shape. Complements the tool_call emission from [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051) (the `kilo-duplicate` label was a false positive — different, sequential defect). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-result-feedback-6220.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** opencode-go/opencode-zen can now synthesize the OpenCode CLI identity headers Cloudflare requires on VPS egress ([#5997](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5997)) — on a datacenter VPS, `opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/chat/completions` 403s (HTML challenge) requests lacking CLI identity, while the reporter's control curl proved that `User-Agent: opencode-cli/1.0.0` + `x-opencode-client: cli` + `x-opencode-project: default` + fresh request/session UUIDs succeed. Opt-in via `OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS=true` (values overridable via `OPENCODE_GO_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_CLIENT`/`OPENCODE_PROJECT`); it fills only headers the client did not already send. Kept **off by default** — the forward-only path is deliberate (fabricating a wrong value risks upstream rejection; a prior dedup regressed with `opencode/local`), so this replaces the fragile local header-injection shim without changing default behavior. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-cli-headers-synthesis-5997.test.ts` (6). (thanks @aleksesipenko)
+- fix(resilience): sticky session affinity now evicts and fails over to another account when the pinned account is exhausted/unavailable (#6219)
+
+- fix(sse): Responses API passthrough now drops internal commentary-phase output before forwarding to clients (gated by RESPONSES_PASSTHROUGH_DROP_COMMENTARY, default on) (#6199)
+
+- **fix(proxy):** stop the v3.8.44 proxy regression that leaked the real IP and disabled healthy proxies ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Two coupled defects from the new health scheduler: (1) **IP leak** — when a proxy assigned to a connection was marked `inactive`, resolution fell through to a **direct** egress instead of blocking, exposing the operator's real IP; (2) **over-deactivation** — the sweep flipped a proxy to `inactive` on the **first** failed probe and counted our own 5s timeout / a probe-target `5xx` as the proxy's fault, so healthy paid proxies vanished from egress selection ("my proxies are not being used anymore"). Fix: the sweep decision is extracted into a pure, network-free `decideProxyHealthAction` (`src/lib/proxyHealth/decision.ts`) — by default the health check now **only counts/logs and never downgrades status** (a proxy is downgraded/removed only with `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE=true`, after `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE_AFTER` **consecutive** conclusive failures); probes are classified tri-state so an inconclusive result (our timeout, or a `5xx` from the probe target) never penalizes the proxy, and the probe timeout is raised 5s→15s. Separately, `safeResolveProxy` now **fails closed** via the existing policy: a connection whose assigned proxy is dead is blocked instead of leaking direct (`hasBlockingProxyAssignment`), honoring the explicit `proxy off` toggles and the `PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true` opt-out. Existing proxies stuck `inactive` by the old behavior need a one-time manual re-activate (the operator owns proxy status). Regression guards: `tests/unit/proxy-health-decide-action-6246.test.ts`, `tests/unit/proxy-assigned-unavailable-6246.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(proxy):** make "Test All" read-only and add bulk enable/disable ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Complements the core fail-closed / scheduler fix (#6296) with the two remaining reporter asks. (1) The **"Test All" button** (`POST /api/settings/proxies/auto-test`) used to flip a proxy to `inactive` on a failed reachability probe; since the egress selector excludes `inactive` proxies, a flaky probe (an unreachable `httpbin.org`, a proxy that blocks `HEAD`, or a slow paid proxy) silently disabled every proxy that failed — "Test All" is now **read-only by default** (only the operator sets a proxy active/inactive; opt back into the legacy test-and-set with `PROXY_HEALTH_AUTO_DEACTIVATE=true`). (2) Adds a **bulk enable/disable** proxies endpoint + toolbar action (`POST /api/settings/proxies/batch-activate`) so an operator can re-activate proxies in one click. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-health-6246.test.ts`. (thanks @tenshiak)
+
+- **chatcore (tools): stop the default 128-tool cap from silently dropping opencode's `task`/MCP tools.** opencode (used as an MCP/agent host) sends a large tool list; when it exceeds the speculative `MAX_TOOLS_LIMIT` (128) default, `truncateToolList` did a blind `tools.slice(0, 128)`, dropping every tool past index 128 — including opencode's built-in `task` tool (subagent launch) and many MCP tools, so models routed through OmniRoute could no longer spawn subagents or reach part of their tools. The cap exists to avoid upstream `400`s for providers with real hard limits (e.g. grok-cli 200), so it is kept for those: detection of the opencode client (`isOpencodeClient` — any `x-opencode-*` header, or `opencode` in the user-agent) now only bypasses the **speculative 128 default**, never a known provider ceiling. Precedence is explicit — a proactive/detected provider limit always truncates (even for opencode); otherwise opencode forwards its full tool list; otherwise the unchanged 128 default applies to every other client. Refactors `getEffectiveToolLimit` into `getKnownToolLimit(provider) ?? DEFAULT_LIMIT` (byte-identical for existing callers) and fixes a cosmetic debug-log that reported the truncated count instead of the original. Regression guard: `tests/unit/tool-limit-detector.test.ts`. ([#6193](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6193) — thanks @DKotsyuba)
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the macOS MITM-cert install check now matches the system keychain again. `security find-certificate -a -Z` prints the SHA-1 as a colon-less hex string, but the installed-check compared it against `getCertFingerprint()`'s colon-separated form, so the substring match never hit — the cert was reported as not-installed and re-prompted for the sudo install on every run. Fingerprints are now normalized (colons stripped, upper-cased) on both sides via the extracted `macCertOutputHasFingerprint` helper. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-cert-mac-fingerprint.test.ts`. ([#6204](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6204), closes [#6134](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6134) — thanks @rianonehub)
+
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/messages/count_tokens` now counts `tool_use`, `tool_result` and `thinking` content blocks (and array-form `system` prompts) in the local-estimation path, instead of only `text`. Real agentic conversations keep ~95% of their tokens inside tool results; the previous estimate returned near-zero for them, which silently broke Claude Code's auto-compaction (context grew past the window with no compaction until the upstream API rejected the request). The real provider-side count path is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/messages-count-tokens-route.test.ts`. ([#6221](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6221) — thanks @luweiCN)
+
+- **fix(antigravity):** strip a trailing assistant prefill turn for Vertex Claude models to avoid upstream 400s ([#6114](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6114)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-claude-prefill-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(security):** the mutable cloud-agent routes (`/api/cloud/credentials/update`, `/api/cloud/models/alias`) now require management auth instead of being treated as public. They were classified as public API routes, so a request without management credentials could update stored cloud-agent credentials and model aliases. They are removed from the public-route set, classified as management routes in the authz pipeline, and gated by `requireManagementAuth`; cloud **read**/auth routes stay public. Regression guards: `tests/unit/cloud-write-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts`, `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6233](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6233) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+
+- **refactor(dashboard):** extract the onboarding-wizard "Open provider details" link target into a pure, unit-tested `buildProviderDetailsHref(connection)` helper. The wizard already routes by `connection.id` (the node UUID) rather than the provider category slug (#6144/#6145); this hardens that behavior behind a tested helper that guards a missing id/connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-onboarding-href.test.ts`. ([#6166](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6166) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(api):** relay worker now binds the SSRF guard to a stable `const` name so minified standalone (Docker) builds resolve it ([#6149](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6149)) — the Vercel/Deno relay generators embedded the shared `resolveRelayTarget` guard as a bare `${fn.toString()}` declaration while the worker body called the hardcoded literal name; SWC minification mangled the source function's name, so the deployed worker defined `<mangled>` but still called `resolveRelayTarget` → `ReferenceError`. Both templates now emit `const resolveRelayTarget = ${fn.toString()};` (the const name is a template literal, immune to minification). Regression guard: `tests/unit/relay-minified-fn-6149.test.ts` (4). (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **fix(providers):** refresh the stale NVIDIA NIM model registry — drop EOL `z-ai/glm-5.1`, add `z-ai/glm-5.2` and `nvidia/nemotron-3-ultra-550b-a55b` ([#6108](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6108)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-nim-registry-6108.test.ts`. (thanks @andrea-kingautomation)
+- **fix(backend):** GPT-family (codex) models now report a distinct `max_input_tokens` (272000) below their 400K `context_length` via an optional `maxInputTokens` on `RegistryModel`, so coding agents auto-compact correctly instead of overflowing the real input cap ([#6191](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6191)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gpt-max-input-tokens-6191.test.ts`. (thanks @luweiCN)
+- **fix(backend):** call logs now record a **reasoning source/char-count** (migration 116, `reasoning_source`/`reasoning_chars`) for models that emit `reasoning_content`/`<think>` but report zero reasoning tokens in usage, so `tokens_reasoning` no longer silently under-represents reasoning — cost math is unchanged (the priced `tokens_reasoning` stays usage-derived) ([#6187](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6187)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/reasoning-token-source-6187.test.ts`. (thanks @andrea-kingautomation)
+- **fix(auth):** a stale/changed `STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY` now surfaces as a clear **424 `storage_encryption_stale`** ("re-enter the API key") instead of a misleading "Auth failed: 401" — the connection's ciphertext failed to decrypt and was coerced to an empty Bearer, hiding the real cause ([#6148](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6148)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/decrypt-stale-key-hint-6148.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(backend):** memory injection now keeps the injected system message **first** for providers that require it (via a `PROVIDERS_SYSTEM_MUST_BE_FIRST` capability), instead of the cache-safe mid-array splice that made strict providers reject the request with a 400 ([#6135](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6135)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/memory-system-first-6135.test.ts`.
+- **fix(services):** 9Router embed panel no longer 404s (optional catch-all route) and the supervisor probes the port before spawning to avoid raw EADDRINUSE ([#6205](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6205)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/ninerouter-embed-port-6205.test.ts`, `tests/unit/services/ServiceSupervisor.test.ts`. (thanks @jonlwheat2-gif)
+- fix(mcp): forward the MCP request `extra` context through static tool loops so stdio callers keep their scope/identity ([#6178](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6178))
+
+### ⚡ Performance & Infrastructure
+
+- **perf(test):** test-suite loader quick wins ([#6214](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6214)) — the 19 test scripts switch `--import tsx` → `--import tsx/esm` (the repo is pure ESM; the unused CJS hook cost ~1.3s per test process × 2,462 processes — CI fast-path unit shards dropped 14.8→7.5 min, −49%), tsx bumped to ^4.23.0 (tsx#809 startup-regression fix), **37 orphan `.test.mjs` files (224 cases) recovered** into the canonical glob (they matched no runner and never ran in any CI job; `check:test-discovery` now scans `.mjs` too), and ci.yml/quality.yml unit jobs now call the canonical npm script `test:unit:ci:shard` (single source of truth — closes two silent drifts: missing `setupPolyfill` import in CI and `memory/`+`usage/` dirs absent from the fast-path glob). `tests/unit/dashboard/**` keeps the full tsx hook in its own invocation (`@lobehub/icons` es/ build internally `require()`s ESM-syntax files).
+- **ci:** heavy-pipeline dedup ([#6215](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6215)) — the release-PR pipeline ran the unit suite 4× per sync (95 jobs, 208 machine-min; the v3.8.44 cycle fired 123 such runs, 88 cancelled). Now: Node 24/26 compat matrices move to a daily `nightly-compat.yml` (−28%/run; resolves the active release branch, opens a tracking issue on failure), coverage is collected inside the unit shards themselves via c8/`NODE_V8_COVERAGE` (−18%/run; the Coverage Shard ×8 matrix is gone — nodejs/node's own CI pattern), the ~40-job per-language i18n matrix becomes 1 job (the account has 20 concurrent-job slots total), and heavy jobs skip **draft** PRs — paired with `/generate-release` now opening the living release PR as draft (flipped ready at the new Phase 0a.0a), killing the per-merge churn for the whole cycle. Validated by a full `workflow_dispatch` of the new pipeline: 35 jobs, 0 failures, 23 min, merged coverage 80.16% (> ratchet baseline).
+- **feat(quality):** no-new-warnings per PR ([#6218](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6218)) — native ESLint bulk suppressions (≥9.24) freeze the pre-existing debt (476 files / 4,273 violations in `config/quality/eslint-suppressions.json`); `npm run lint`, lint-staged (pre-commit) and a new fork-aware `lint-guard` job in quality.yml all run suppressions-aware, so a NEW warning goes red in the PR that introduces it instead of accruing invisibly (+41/+88 per cycle) and being blind-rebaselined at release. 3 warn rules promoted to error in `src/**` (`react-hooks/exhaustive-deps`, `@next/next/no-img-element`, `import/no-anonymous-default-export`); `collect-metrics` measures under the frozen baseline (ratchet metric = net-NEW debt; baseline tightened 4,279→0 in-PR per require-tighten); fork PRs run report-only (contributors are never blocked — the maintainer campaigns fix via co-authorship). Baseline stock shrinks via `--prune-suppressions` at release reconciliation.
+- **ci:** test jobs no longer wait on the Build gate ([#6275](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6275)) — `test-unit`×8, `vitest`, `integration`×2 and `security` declared `needs: build` but never download the `next-build` artifact; they now start at minute 0 (`needs: changes`, same `if` as Build), cutting ~15–20 min of wall-clock per heavy run. `e2e`/`package-artifact`/`electron-smoke` keep `needs: build` (they consume the artifact for real).
+- **ci(build):** the ci.yml Build job compiles Next.js with **Turbopack** (`OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=1`) ([#6273](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6273)) — Build job 20 min → **6 min 59 s (~2.9×)** on ubuntu-latest; the webpack `actions/cache` step is removed. Validated end-to-end pre-merge via `gh workflow run ci.yml --ref <branch>`.
+- **feat(build):** **Turbopack becomes the default bundler** for `next build` and `next dev` ([#6283](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6283)) — `build-next-isolated.mjs`, `run-next.mjs` and the playwright-runner default to Turbopack; `OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=0` is the explicit webpack escape hatch. `nightly-compat.yml`/`npm-publish.yml` inherit the default. Regression guard: `tests/unit/build-bundler-default-turbopack.test.ts`.
+- **feat(docker):** the Docker image builds with Turbopack (`ENV OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=1`) ([#6285](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6285)) — the v3.8.27 ImportTracer panic ("unreachable: there must be a path to a root") does **not** reproduce on Next 16.2.9: amd64 (659 s) and arm64 (qemu) build clean, 0 panics, smoke health 200.
+- **ci:** opt-in **self-hosted VPS runners for the release window** ([#6284](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6284)) — `scripts/vps/release-runner-up.sh`/`down.sh` manage the runner VM, and `build`/`test-unit`/`vitest` pick a dynamic `runs-on` gated by `vars.USE_VPS_RUNNER == 'true'` **and** own-origin (fork PRs never reach self-hosted runners). Wired into `/generate-release` (VM up at Phase 1, mandatory down at Phase 3).
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **quality(release-green):** full pre-flight hardening for this release — the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors typed/fixed and `validate-release-green` made suppressions-aware with per-gate logs (`_artifacts/release-green/`) and a `--hermetic` mode; test-masking allowlist entries for the cycle's verified-legitimate assert reductions; stale ESLint suppressions pruned (4,273 → 4,233); the 7 net-new `as any` casts from #6292 typed; `githubSkillTools` MCP errors routed through `sanitizeErrorMessage()`; `combo-provider-cooldown-sibling` added to the Stryker tap set; executors/env docs count fixes.
+- **ci(quality):** merge-integrity fast-gates per PR — `check:changelog-integrity` (no base CHANGELOG bullet may vanish in the merge result — the auto-resolve "CHANGELOG-eat" pattern) and `check:agent-skills-sync` (generated SKILL.md ≡ catalog), blocking for own-origin branches and report-only for forks (Princípio Zero). ([#6300](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6300))
+- **ci(vps):** hermetic `nightly-release-green` pre-flight on the dedicated `omni-release` self-hosted runner (dynamic `runs-on`, clean env); e2e/integration/electron stay on hosted runners (per-VM port collision + concurrent artifact-download limits documented in the PR). ([#6305](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6305))
+- **chore(quality):** v3.8.45 cycle-close drift rebaselines — file-size (13 files grown by merged cycle PRs), cognitive 867→877, cyclomatic 2028→2035, kiro-translator test debt from #6213; all with dated justification keys.
+- **docs(architecture):** sync stale DB-layer counts (45+/55 → 95+/110+) in REPOSITORY_MAP, the db-schema diagram and llm.txt (+42 i18n mirrors). ([#6167](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6167))
+- **chore(release):** parallel-cycle flow — `sync-next-cycle.mjs` + Hard Rule #21 semantics ([#6203](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6203)); v3.8.45 development cycle opened.
+- **i18n(it):** add 118 missing Italian (`it`) translations (net-additive — no existing keys dropped, valid JSON), improving Italian UI coverage. ([#6212](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6212) — thanks @serverless83)
+- **chore(providers):** remove deprecated **MiMo V2** model entries from the catalogs (xiaomi-mimo, opencode-go, zenmux-free, audio TTS) — the upstream V2 line is superseded by MiMo V2.5; drops `mimo-v2-tts`, `mimo-v2-pro`, `mimo-v2-omni`, `mimo-v2-flash`, `mimo-v2-flash-free` and realigns the provider-catalog tests. ([#6248](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6248) — thanks @backryun)

+## [3.8.44] — TBD
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(resilience):** throttle upstream quota fetches on the per-request preflight path ([#6009](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6009)) — a new global min-interval gate (`open-sse/services/quotaFetchThrottle.ts`) spaces the actual network calls made by the Codex quota fetcher so that many accounts on one IP no longer fetch quota in the same second (which, per `router-for-me/CLIProxyAPI#2385`, can get a Codex OAuth token revoked). Complements the existing bulk-sync spacing (`PROVIDER_LIMITS_SYNC_SPACING_MS`) which already serialized the periodic provider-limits sync — this covers the concurrent combo/preflight path it didn't. Cache hits are never delayed; fail-open (only ever awaits a timer). Configurable via `OMNIROUTE_QUOTA_FETCH_MIN_INTERVAL_MS` (default 250ms, clamped 0..5000; `0` disables). Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-fetch-throttle-6009.test.ts` (5). (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(autoCombo):** add **per-request Auto-Combo controls** via two headers ([#6024](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6024) / [#6025](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6025) / [#6023](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6023)) — `X-OmniRoute-Mode` steers an `auto` combo's scoring for a single request (friendly presets `fast`/`balanced`/`quality`/`cheap`/`reliable`/`offline` **or** a raw mode-pack name; `balanced` forces the default weights), and `X-OmniRoute-Budget` sets a hard per-request USD cost ceiling. Both override the combo's stored config only for the request that carries them; unknown/garbage values are ignored so the saved config is preserved. The resolvers are pure (`open-sse/services/autoCombo/requestControls.ts`) and feed the engine's existing `config.modePack` / `config.budgetCap` inputs — no engine changes. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auto-combo-request-controls-6024.test.ts` (5). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add the **Kenari** OpenAI-compatible gateway (BYOK). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kenari.test.ts`. (thanks @doedja)
+- **feat(models):** add `claude-sonnet-5` to the Antigravity model catalog (alias mapping in `antigravityModelAliases.ts`) ([#6103](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6103)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-model-aliases.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+- **feat(api):** add `/v1/ocr` endpoint (Mistral OCR), an OCR provider category, and Mistral moderation support. ([#5950](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5950)) (thanks @waguriagentic)
+- **Discovery tool (Phase 2):** add the `discoveryResults` DB module (CRUD over the `discovery_results` table, migration 074) and wire the opt-in provider-discovery service to persist and read findings through it (`persistDiscoveryResult`, `getDiscoveryResults`, `getDiscoveryResultById`, `markVerified`, `deleteDiscoveryResult`) with `(provider, method, endpoint)` upsert de-duplication. Adds the `/api/discovery/*` HTTP surface — `GET /results`, `GET|DELETE /results/:id`, `POST /scan`, `POST /verify/:id` — under **strict loopback-only** authorization (`/api/discovery/` is in `LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` and is NOT manage-scope-bypassable, so the `scan` route's outbound probes can never be reached from a tunnel/remote origin). Adds a **dashboard UI tab** (Tools → Discovery, `/dashboard/discovery`) to run scans and review, verify, or delete findings. The service stays **opt-in / default-off**. ([#5939](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5939))
+- **feat(api):** expose a read-only provider plugin manifest at `GET /api/v1/provider-plugin-manifest` for sidecar/relay discovery. ([#6001](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6001)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(sidecar):** advertise the provider manifest URL to Bifrost/CLIProxyAPI via the `X-OmniRoute-Provider-Manifest-Url` header (`OMNIROUTE_PROVIDER_MANIFEST_URL`). ([#6007](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6007)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(autoCombo):** add a latency/speed-optimized routing mode (shared `rankBySpeed` scoring core) plus the `omniroute_pick_fastest_model` MCP tool. ([#6011](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6011)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(providers):** refresh The Old LLM (Free) model catalog ([#5181](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5181)) — seed the current free `/api/chatgpt` tier (GPT-5/5.1/5.2/5.3/5.4, o3/o4-mini, Gemini 3 Pro / 2.5 Pro / 2.0 Flash / 1.5 Flash, Claude 4.6 Opus/Sonnet & 4.5 Haiku, GPT-4o, Grok 4, DeepSeek V3/R1, Sonar Pro) while keeping the legacy alias IDs for saved-preference compatibility. Also fixes a latent routing bug: `mapModel()` now passes known upstream IDs through unchanged, so Gemini/o-series/Grok/DeepSeek/Sonar models no longer silently collapse onto `GPT_5_4`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/theoldllm-model-refresh-5181.test.ts`. (thanks @WslzGmzs)
+- **feat(resilience):** surface Codex **banked reset credits** per connected account ([#5199](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5199)) — the Codex quota parsers (`buildCodexUsageQuotas`, `parseCodexUsageResponse`) now additively read `rate_limit_reset_credits.available_count` (+ optional `rate_limit_reached_type`) from the `/wham/usage` payload OmniRoute already fetches, and the provider-limits dashboard renders a **"Banked Reset Credits"** row when a positive count is present. Display-only and **fail-open** — the field is eligibility-gated, so accounts without it are unaffected (parsers never throw on absent/garbage shapes); redemption (an unofficial mutating endpoint) is intentionally out of scope. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-banked-reset-credits-5199.test.ts` (8). (thanks @ofekbetzalel)
+- **feat(providers):** add sign-up geo-restriction notices for **SenseNova** and **StepFun** ([#5462](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5462)) — the provider add-form now warns that SenseNova's console appears to require a Chinese (+86) phone number with no documented international path, and that StepFun's default endpoint is its China platform while a global StepFun Open Platform (`platform.stepfun.ai`, operated by Sparkling AI Pte. Ltd., Singapore) with email/Google/Discord login exists for international users. Informational `notice` only — neither provider is disabled. Regression guard: `tests/unit/regional-provider-cn-notices-5462.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(usage):** add on-demand period-scoped usage-data reset (Settings → System Storage) with a purge API and time-window selector. ([#5831](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5831))
+- **feat(claude-code):** add an opt-in auto-permission classifier compat mode (off/auto/always) for Claude Code, toggleable from the CLI Code settings. ([#5810](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5810))
+- **feat(providers):** add optional client-identity header profiles for compatible nodes — preset User-Agent/fingerprint headers (e.g. matching a known CLI) merged into the existing customHeaders field. ([#5812](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5812))
+- **feat(build):** add a backend-only fast build mode (`scripts/build/build-next-isolated.mjs` + `backendOnlyPages.mjs`) that skips compiling the dashboard frontend pages, cutting local/CI build time for backend-only changes. ([#6119](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6119) — thanks @artickc)
+- **feat(minimax):** extract MiniMax M3's raw `<think>...</think>` leakage into `reasoning_content` on the 8 OpenAI-format provider tiers, leaving the Claude-format `minimax`/`minimax-cn` tiers untouched (they already report reasoning correctly). ([#6073](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6073) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(services):** promote **Bifrost** (`@maximhq/bifrost` — Go AI-gateway) from an env-only relay sidecar to a first-class embedded/supervised service, matching the existing cliproxy/9router model — installer, bootstrap `SERVICES[]` entry, migration 113 DB seed, 7 lifecycle API routes under `/api/services/bifrost/` (loopback-only), a dashboard tab, and relay auto-wiring that defaults `BIFROST_BASE_URL` to the supervised port when running. Implements item #2 of #5670; the broader RouterBackend contract (items #1, #3-#5) stays out of scope. ([#5817](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5817), part of [#5670](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5670))
+- **feat(services):** add **Mux** (`coder/mux` — local agent-orchestration daemon) as a fourth-tier embedded service on the existing `ServiceSupervisor` framework — npm-based installer, `bootstrap.ts` registration, migration 113 DB seed, 7 lifecycle API routes under `/api/services/mux/` (loopback-only, defense-in-depth bind to 127.0.0.1), and a dashboard tab reusing the shared service-management components. ([#6034](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6034))
+- **feat(xai):** surface Grok/xAI usage on the quota dashboard via local `usageHistory` aggregation (`getXaiUsage`) — since xAI exposes no per-account quota API, this sums tokens routed to the connection from `usage_history` and reports them as a cumulative, uncapped quota, mirroring the existing Xiaomi MiMo self-track pattern. ([#5806](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5806))
+- **feat(minimax):** extract MiniMax M3's raw `<think>...</think>` tags into a separate `reasoning_content` field on the 8 provider tiers that register M3 with `format:"openai"` (trae, huggingchat, bazaarlink, ollama-cloud, opencode, cline, opencode-zen, codebuddy-cn) — previously the thinking text leaked directly into `content`. Reuses the existing `extractThinkingFromContent` primitive, extending its allowlist with a minimax-m3-only pattern; the two direct minimax/minimax-cn tiers are untouched since they already surface reasoning natively over Anthropic's Messages format. (Inspired by 9router#2231.) ([#6050](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6050) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(i18n):** auto-detect the browser language on first visit — a pure `detectBrowserLocale()` matcher (exact match, `zh-HK`/`zh-MO` folded to `zh-TW`, language-prefix match, else `null`) plus a client-only `LocaleAutoDetect` component mounted once in the root layout. When no locale cookie is set yet, it reads `navigator.languages`, computes a match against the supported locales, and persists it via the same cookie/localStorage writer `LanguageSelector` already used (extracted to `shared/lib/persistLocale.ts`). (Inspired by 9router#1324.) ([#5979](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5979))
+- **feat(cli-tools):** add **CodeWhale** — the actively-maintained successor to DeepSeek TUI (same author, renamed project) — as a dual dashboard entry alongside the existing "deepseek-tui" catalog entry, so existing DeepSeek TUI users keep a working card while new users are steered to CodeWhale. New `/api/cli-tools/codewhale-settings` route writes `~/.codewhale/config.toml` and keeps the legacy `~/.deepseek/config.toml` in sync. (Inspired by 9router#1761.) ([#5996](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5996))
+- **feat(server):** support reverse-proxy `basePath` deployment via a new opt-in `OMNIROUTE_BASE_PATH` env var (empty by default), using Next.js's native `basePath` support so a deployment behind a reverse-proxy subpath (e.g. `https://host/omniroute/`) works without manual header stripping; the two hardcoded auth-redirect targets in `src/server/authz/pipeline.ts` now prefix with `request.nextUrl.basePath`. Default empty basePath is a no-op for existing root-path deployments. (Inspired by 9router#1810.) ([#5992](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5992))
+- **feat(providers):** add **SumoPod** (`ai.sumopod.com`) and **X5Lab** (`api.x5lab.dev`) OpenAI-compatible BYOK aggregator gateways, wired via the default executor with bearer API-key auth; both use `passthroughModels` with a live `/v1/models` fetcher instead of a hardcoded catalog. Regression guard: `tests/unit/sumopod-x5lab-provider.test.ts`. (Inspired by 9router#1288.) ([#5963](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5963))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Charm Hyper** (`hyper.charm.land`) as a new OpenAI-compatible, bearer-auth API-key gateway provider with a free tier (100 monthly Hypercredits); models resolve via passthrough (`modelsUrl` + live `/v1/models`) since the catalog isn't publicly documented. (Inspired by 9router#2006.) ([#5961](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5961))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Nube.sh** (`ai.nube.sh`) as a new BYOK OpenAI-compatible gateway (LiteLLM proxy), Bearer/API-key auth. Its live model catalog is only reachable with a valid key, so no model IDs are hardcoded — it uses `passthroughModels` + `modelsUrl` for live enumeration. (Inspired by 9router#2294.) ([#5936](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5936) — thanks @whale9820)
+- **feat(providers):** add **b.ai** (`api.b.ai`) as a new OpenAI-compatible BYOK provider, distinct from the existing thebai/theb.ai provider, using passthrough model discovery with no hardcoded model list. (Inspired by 9router#963.) ([#5969](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5969))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Qiniu** (七牛云) AI inference gateway as a BYOK API-key provider — proxies many upstream models (DeepSeek V3/V4, Claude, Kimi, and more) behind a single key, shipping with an empty static seed and relying on `passthroughModels` + the live `/v1/models` catalog instead of a stale hardcoded model id. Regression guard: `tests/unit/qiniu-provider.test.ts`. (Inspired by 9router#911.) ([#5966](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5966))
+- **feat(providers):** port **ModelScope** (Alibaba 魔搭) as a new API-key, OpenAI-compatible provider — verified against ModelScope's own docs that the real production domain is `api-inference.modelscope.cn` (`.cn`, not the upstream PR's `.ai`) and shipped `passthroughModels: true` with an empty seed + `modelsUrl` instead of the upstream PR's static 5-model snapshot, since the open-model catalog moves fast. (Ported from 9router#1764.) ([#5965](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5965) — thanks @tn5052)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Augment (Auggie CLI)** as a new local, no-auth provider that spawns the user's local `auggie` CLI and pipes a flattened prompt via stdin, wrapping stdout as an OpenAI-compatible SSE stream or single JSON body. Auth is delegated to `auggie login` outside OmniRoute (synthetic `noAuth: true` connection, no DB row required); "Test Connection" spawns `auggie --version`. Hardened against the untrusted-input spawn sink: no `shell: true` on Windows (argv passed straight to the OS loader, no metacharacter interpretation), and `model` is validated against the registry allowlist before spawn (rejecting unknown or `-`-prefixed values) with a trailing `--` end-of-options marker. (Inspired by 9router#1200.) ([#5972](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5972) — thanks @chamdanilukman)
+- **feat(providers):** add **NVIDIA NIM image generation** — a dedicated `nvidia-nim` image format/handler (separate host, `ai.api.nvidia.com/v1/genai/<model>`, native NIM body shape) for the 4 FLUX models (flux.1-dev, flux.1-schnell, flux.1-kontext-dev, flux.2-klein-4b), shaping each model's per-model request body (dimension/mode validation, required input image + aspect ratio, optional edit image) and normalizing the NIM response's varying shapes into the OpenAI `{created, data}` shape. (Inspired by 9router#1195.) ([#5971](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5971))
+- **feat(oauth):** import a Codex connection from a raw ChatGPT access token — OmniRoute's only Codex import path previously required both `access_token` and `refresh_token`, leaving no path for a user with only a bare ChatGPT website access token. `createProviderConnection` gains an explicit `access_token` auth-type branch (intentionally never deduped), a new `POST /api/oauth/codex/import-token` route (Zod-validated), and `OAuthModal`'s manual-paste path now detects an `eyJ`-prefixed pasted token and posts it to the new endpoint, mirroring the existing grok-cli raw-token flow. The executor's `refreshCredentials()` already degrades safely to `null` without a refresh token, forcing re-auth on expiry. (Inspired by 9router#1290.) ([#5995](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5995) — thanks @ryanngit)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add a tool-source diagnostics settings toggle — a new Settings → Advanced card lets operators flip the existing `logToolSources` flag from the UI instead of editing the DB row directly; `logToolSources` is added to the `.strict()` `/api/settings` Zod PATCH schema (previously rejected). (Inspired by 9router#1825.) ([#5978](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5978) — thanks @DuyPrX)
+- **feat(dashboard):** collapse and sort provider quota rows by remaining percentage — the expanded quota list is sorted highest-remaining-first and collapsed to the first 3 rows by default, with a "Show N more"/"Show less" toggle when a connection reports more than 3 quotas, keeping at-risk quotas visible above a long list of healthy ones. Sort/slice logic extracted into pure, directly-unit-tested helpers (`sortQuotasByRemaining`, `getVisibleQuotas`). (Inspired by 9router#1919.) ([#5977](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5977))
+- **feat(dashboard):** suggest HuggingFace Hub media models — a new `GET /api/v1/providers/suggested-models` route proxies the public HF Hub models search API (Zod-validated, no token exposed client-side) and `ImageExampleCard` merges the results into the model picker as a selectable chip row for the huggingface provider; also adds a dedicated `huggingface-image` format/handler for HF's raw-image-bytes response. (Inspired by 9router#1633.) ([#5990](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5990))
+- **feat(cli-tools):** add a **Crush** entry to the dashboard CLI-Tools catalog plus a new `/api/cli-tools/crush-settings` route (GET/POST/DELETE) — OmniRoute already shipped a `crush` CLI setup command (`bin/cli/commands/setup-crush.mjs`) but the dashboard catalog had no matching entry; the new route writes to the same canonical `~/.config/crush/crush.json` path so the dashboard and CLI command agree. (Inspired by 9router#1233.) ([#5970](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5970))
+- **feat(providers):** extend Vercel AI Gateway (`vercel-ai-gateway`/`vag`) beyond chat-only to support **embeddings and image generation** — the gateway's OpenAI-compatible `/v1` API also exposes `/embeddings` and `/images/generations`, so entries were added to `EMBEDDING_PROVIDERS` (`embeddingRegistry.ts`) and `IMAGE_PROVIDERS` (`imageRegistry.ts`) modeled on the existing `openai` entries. ([#5968](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5968) — thanks @tantai-newnol)
+- **feat(api-keys):** add per-key **device/connection tracking** — a SHA-256 fingerprint of IP + User-Agent, with a 30-minute TTL and per-key/global caps, tracks distinct client devices seen with each API key (in-memory only, raw IP never stored). A new `GET /api/keys/[id]/devices` route exposes masked device details, and the API Keys dashboard tab gets a "Devices" count badge alongside the existing Sessions badge. This is a new granularity distinct from the existing `maxSessions` cap, which limits concurrent sticky-routing sessions rather than tracking device identity. ([#5998](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5998) — thanks @mugni-rukita)
+- **feat(proxy):** add **Webshare** (`proxy.webshare.io`) as a fourth source in the free-proxy provider framework alongside 1proxy, Proxifly, and IPLocate. `WebshareProvider` paginates the account's `/api/v2/proxy/list/` endpoint, upserts proxies into the shared `free_proxies` table, and tombstones proxies the account no longer lists while never touching rows already promoted into the live proxy pool. Unlike the other sources, Webshare is a paid per-account list, gated on `FREE_PROXY_WEBSHARE_API_KEY`. ([#5993](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5993) — thanks @ricatix)
+- **feat(antigravity):** support custom **Google Cloud project ID** settings from the connection edit modal (Antigravity family). ([#5905](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5905) — thanks @nickwizard)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add a **wildcard-CORS runtime warning** banner (Settings → Authorization) when `CORS_ALLOW_ALL`/`*` origins are in effect, plus a new `docs/security/CORS.md` security guide covering the risk and safer alternatives. ([#5602](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5602), [#5759](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5759))
+- **feat(api):** add a `/v1/audio/translations` endpoint (Whisper-style audio translation), a new `audioTranslation` handler, and translation providers wired into `audioRegistry`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/audio-translations-route.test.ts` (8, incl. no-stack-leak). ([#5809](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5809))
+- **feat(providers):** allow a **custom icon URL** for compatible provider nodes (migration 113 + `nodes.ts` + Zod schema + API routes + catalog + `ProviderIcon` UI). Regression guards: 14 backend + 5 frontend(vitest) + 24 page-utils tests. ([#5815](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5815))
+- **feat(xai):** register a dedicated `XaiExecutor` with reasoning-effort suffix parsing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executors/xai-executor.test.ts` (6). ([#5800](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5800))
+- **feat(webfetch):** support **self-hosted FireCrawl** instances via `FIRECRAWL_BASE_URL`/`FIRECRAWL_TIMEOUT_MS`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executors/firecrawl-fetch.test.ts` (4). ([#5793](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5793))
+- **feat(providers):** add **ClinePass** as a first-class API-key (BYOK) provider — Cline's paid gateway (`cline-pass/*` models, plain Bearer key), distinct from the existing OAuth `cline` provider. Regression guard: 16 clinepass tests. ([#5942](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5942) — thanks @adentdk)
+- **feat(relay):** gate **Bifrost auto-routing** by the provider plugin manifest — only manifest-eligible providers reach the sidecar; ineligible/unknown providers fall back to the existing TS routing path with explicit reasons. Regression guards: 4 provider-plugin-manifest + 11 relay-routing-backend tests. ([#5870](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5870) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(providers):** wire **Claude Sonnet 5** end-to-end across the model pipeline — registries, `modelSpecs`, pricing (×3), cost, Sonnet-family fallback, 1M-context, and static models. ([#5833](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5833) — thanks @ggiak)
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **dashboard (`/dashboard/system/proxy` 500 on every render):** `ProxyRegistryManager` called `useProxyBatchOperations(load)` before the `const load = useCallback(...)` declaration in the component body, so every server render threw a TDZ `ReferenceError: Cannot access 'load' before initialization` and the whole proxy page 500'd (#5918 regression, caught by the release-PR e2e smoke — the PR→release fast-gates never render pages). The hook block now sits after the `load` declaration. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/ProxyRegistryManager-tdz-render.test.tsx` (SSR renderToString — the exact crash mode).
+
+- **server (TRACE/TRACK/CONNECT returned raw 500 on every route):** methods that undici/fetch cannot represent blew up inside Next's middleware adapter (`TypeError: 'TRACE' HTTP method is unsupported.`) as an unhandled 500 (caught by the release-PR dast-smoke Schemathesis negative tests on the new `/api/keys/{id}/devices` endpoint). The raw HTTP method guard now answers a clean 405 + `Allow` header for these methods on any path, before Next sees the request. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dast-method-not-allowed.test.ts` (new case).
+
+- **i18n (auto-detect refreshed every first visit):** `LocaleAutoDetect` (#5979) called `router.refresh()` on every cookie-less first visit — even when the detected browser locale was exactly the one the server had just rendered — re-navigating the page mid-interaction (flaky e2e "execution context destroyed" + a visible flash for every new visitor). It now refreshes only when the detected locale differs from the server-rendered `<html lang>`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/LocaleAutoDetect-refresh.test.tsx`.
+
+- **models (`oc/` alias must reach the no-auth OpenCode provider):** restore the [#2901](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/2901) routing contract after the #5918 transitive-alias change made the registered no-auth `opencode` provider unreachable by any prefix (`oc/` chained through the manual `opencode` → `opencode-zen` slug override and misrouted its combo entries). `resolveProviderAlias` now stops the alias chain as soon as a hop lands on a registered provider id, while keeping #5918's transitivity across alias-only hops and its loop/depth guards. Regression guards: `tests/unit/combo-builder-opencode-prefix.test.ts`, `tests/unit/provider-alias-transitive-5918.test.ts`.
+
+- **providers (Auggie executor EPIPE crash):** a fast-exiting `auggie` CLI (e.g. binary present but immediately failing) delivered `EPIPE` **asynchronously** as an `'error'` event on the child's stdin stream — which a plain try/catch around `stdin.write()` cannot catch — crashing the request instead of surfacing the sanitized CLI error. Both spawn sites now attach a stdin `'error'` handler so the child's own exit/close handlers report the failure. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auggie-executor.test.ts` (deterministic 3/3 locally).
+
+- **dashboard (CoolingConnectionsPanel broke `next build`):** the cooling-connections panel from #6061 imported `Card` from a shadcn-style path that does not exist in this repo (`@/components/ui/card`) and pulled the server DB barrel (`@/lib/localDb`) into a client component — `next build` failed to compile on the release branch. The panel now renders with repo-native markup and reads `formatResetCountdown` from the new client-safe `src/shared/utils/formatting.ts`. Regression guards: `tests/unit/format-reset-countdown.test.ts`, `tests/unit/ui/CoolingConnectionsPanel.test.tsx`. ([#6155](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6155))
+
+- **oauth (Zed "Unknown provider" crash):** adding **Zed** from the providers dashboard threw an unhandled `OAuth GET error: Unknown provider: zed` (500) ([#6041](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6041)). Zed is a **keychain-import-only** provider — it's listed in the OAuth catalog so the UI shows it, but has no OAuth handler, so the generic `/api/oauth/[provider]/[action]` route hit `getProvider("zed")` and crashed. The route now recognizes keychain-import-only providers and returns a clear **400** pointing users at the **Import** button (for both GET and POST OAuth actions), instead of a 500. Regression guard: `tests/unit/oauth-keychain-import-only-6041.test.ts`. (thanks @imblowsnow)
+
+- **fix(providers):** disable the unsupported `thinking` param for `minimax-m2.7` on NVIDIA NIM (the upstream rejects it) ([#6102](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6102)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-minimax-thinking-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(mitm):** add an in-process guard so concurrent MITM server starts no longer race — a second start while one is already in flight is short-circuited instead of double-binding the listener ([#6107](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6107)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-start-guard.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **translator (Responses → Chat Completions):** strip the Responses-API-only `truncation` field before forwarding a `/v1/responses` request to a non-OpenAI Chat Completions upstream ([#6109](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6109)). Strict upstreams (e.g. NVIDIA NIM) rejected it with HTTP 400 `Unsupported parameter(s): truncation`, breaking Codex-style clients routed to those providers. `client_metadata`, `background`, and `safety_identifier` were already stripped — `truncation` was the remaining gap. Regression guard: `tests/unit/responses-strip-truncation-2311.test.ts`. (thanks @TuanNguyen0708)
+
+- **combo (prefer known context capacity over unknown):** when a combo filters out at least one target for exceeding a _known_ context limit, the router now prefers the remaining known-compatible targets over targets whose context metadata is simply unknown, instead of letting unknown-metadata targets be the only survivors. If no known-compatible context target remains, context-only candidates fall back to the normal strategy order. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-context-window-filter.test.ts`. ([#6088](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6088) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+
+- **models (GLM-5.2 context normalization):** stop treating every hosted GLM-5.2 provider alias as the native 1M-context model. Native/bare GLM-5.2 and verified OpenCode / ZenMux routes keep their 1,000,000-token context, while hosted-provider aliases now respect the caps declared in their provider metadata instead of inheriting the native max. Regression guards: `tests/unit/model-capabilities-registry.test.ts`, `tests/unit/models-catalog-route.test.ts`. ([#6091](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6091) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+
+- **providers (Gemini Web):** refresh the Gemini Web cookie handling and model catalog so live Gemini Web sessions keep authenticating and routing to current models. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-web.test.ts`. ([#6095](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6095) — thanks @backryun)
+
+- **providers (Perplexity Web):** refresh the Perplexity Web model catalog to the current set (GPT-5.4/5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.0 / Opus 4.8, GLM-5.2, Kimi K2.6, Nemotron 3 Ultra) and update the internal mode / `model_preference` mappings and thinking variants so requests resolve to live upstream models. Regression guard: `tests/unit/perplexity-web.test.ts`. ([#6106](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6106) — thanks @backryun)
+
+- **dashboard ("Update now" → Internal Server Error):** clicking **Update now** on the dashboard home could crash the page with a blank "Internal Server Error" screen (`Minified React error #31`). The handler POSTs the loopback-only `/api/system/version` auto-update endpoint and, on a non-OK JSON response (e.g. a `403` when the dashboard is reached through a reverse proxy / non-loopback origin), passed the raw error envelope object `{ error: { code, message, correlation_id } }` straight to `notify.error()`, which rendered the object as a React child and threw #31. The update-error path now funnels the body through `extractApiErrorMessage()` (the same safe extractor added in #5340), so a readable string always reaches the toast. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/home-update-error-render-5991.test.ts`. ([#5991](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5991))
+- **fix(onboarding):** route the provider-details link in the onboarding wizard by the node's stable id instead of the composite provider slug, which could point at the wrong provider details page for multi-account/fingerprint nodes. Regression guard: `tests/unit/onboarding-wizard-details-link-6145.test.ts`. ([#6145](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6145) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(cli):** give `setup-claude` a fallback profile generator mirroring `setup-codex`, so profile generation no longer silently no-ops when the primary generator path is unavailable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli/setup-claude.test.ts` (new cases). ([#6138](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6138) — thanks @derhornspieler)
+- **fix(glm):** suppress a leaked `</think>` close marker in the GLM Anthropic transport, which was surfacing the raw reasoning-close tag in visible response content instead of being consumed as part of the thinking-block framing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/glm-think-close-marker-leak.test.ts`. ([#6133](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6133) — thanks @dhaern)
+- **fix(provider-limits):** close a TOCTOU race in quota-recovery clearing by moving the check-then-clear to a CAS (compare-and-swap) primitive in `src/lib/db/providers.ts`, so two concurrent recovery paths can no longer both observe stale state and double-clear/re-lock a connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-limits-recovery.test.ts`. ([#6139](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6139) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **fix(provider-limits):** clear transient rate-limit state (`rateLimitedUntil`, `lastError`, `backoffLevel`) as soon as quota recovers, instead of leaving stale rate-limit fields behind that could keep a now-healthy connection looking unavailable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-limits-recovery.test.ts`. ([#6128](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6128) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **combos (OpenCode/MiMo fingerprint accounts):** expand fingerprint-scoped OpenCode/MiMo accounts into their full per-fingerprint set in the combo builder, which previously showed only the first matching account entry and hid the rest from combo target selection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-builder-fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`. ([#6092](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6092), closes [#6087](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6087) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(auth):** persist quota-preflight account lockouts until the reset window elapses, instead of losing the lockout on process restart and letting a still-quota-exhausted account be selected again immediately. Regression guards: `tests/unit/sse-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/opencode-quota-fetcher.test.ts`, `tests/unit/usage-service-hardening.test.ts`. ([#6090](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6090) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+- **combo (fingerprint-based provider expansion):** expand fingerprint-based providers into per-fingerprint combo targets (`open-sse/services/combo/fingerprintExpansion.ts`) so a combo referencing a fingerprint-scoped provider fans out to every matching fingerprint account instead of collapsing onto one. Regression guards: `tests/unit/combo-fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`, `tests/integration/fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`. ([#6082](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6082) — thanks @pizzav-xyz)
+- **fix (safety-net redirect `reqId` crash):** fix a `reqId` `ReferenceError` thrown inside the safety-net combo redirect path in `src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, remove dead code in `src/domain/quotaCache.ts`, and rename the stray root `DESING.md` to `DESIGN.md`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chat-safetynet-reqid-6097.test.ts`. ([#6097](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6097) — thanks @fix2015)
+- **fix(compression):** send a patch-only body to `PUT /api/settings/compression` from `CompressionHub`, instead of round-tripping the full settings object and risking clobbering fields changed elsewhere between load and save. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/CompressionHub-patch-only.test.tsx`. ([#6077](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6077), closes [#6039](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6039) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(codex):** use `access_token.exp` instead of `id_token.exp` when computing `expiresAt` on Codex auth import, since the `id_token` can expire far sooner than the actual access token, causing imported connections to be treated as expired while still usable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-auth-import-expiry.test.ts`. ([#6084](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6084), closes [#6075](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6075) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(security):** persist the IP allow/block-list configuration (it was resetting to Disabled and clearing configured IPs on every restart/update) and actually enforce it in the authz pipeline (`src/server/authz/pipeline.ts`), where it was previously validated but never applied. Regression guards: `tests/unit/ip-filter-persistence-6131.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/ip-filter-enforcement-6131.test.ts`, `tests/unit/ip-filter.test.ts`. (closes [#6131](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6131), [#6132](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6132))
+- **fix (Claude tool_result adjacency):** reattach an OpenAI-shaped `tool_result` to sit directly adjacent to its originating `tool_use` before translating to Claude's message format (`open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-claude/toolResultAdjacency.ts`), since Claude's API rejects/mishandles a tool result separated from its tool call by intervening messages. Regression guard: `tests/unit/translator-openai-to-claude.test.ts` (new cases). ([#6035](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6035) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(config):** externalize `ws`/`bufferutil`/`utf-8-validate` in `next.config.mjs` so the `copilot-m365-web` executor's WebSocket masking path works at runtime — chat requests through it were silently timing out because the bundler was inlining `ws` instead of leaving it as a real Node dependency. Regression guard: `tests/unit/next-config.test.ts`. ([#6130](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6130), closes [#6062](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6062) — thanks @anki1kr, whose #6098 fix it re-lands)
+- **fix(registry):** update grok-cli model context lengths to match the actual Grok CLI `/context` capacities — `grok-build` 128k→256k, `grok-composer-2.5-fast` 128k→200k — so context-aware routing stops filtering these models out for exceeding a stale, too-low limit. Registry-only. ([#5913](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5913) — thanks @Chewji9875)
+- **fix(providers):** strip an orphan `tool_result` (one with no preceding `tool_use`) on the Antigravity MITM path before translating to OpenAI format, since an unpaired tool result upstream caused request failures. Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-orphan-toolresult-6026.test.ts`. (closes [#6026](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6026), [#6115](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6115))
+- **fix(providers):** emulate OpenAI-style `tool_calls` in the GitLab Duo executor (new `open-sse/executors/gitlabResponses.ts`), since the executor previously didn't emulate tool-call semantics for Duo, breaking tool-using clients routed to GitLab Duo. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-duo-toolcalls-6051.test.ts`. (closes [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051), [#6111](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6111))
+- **fix(429 / accountFallback):** persist the per-account 429 cooldown cascade across the request boundary and classify OpenCode's "Monthly usage limit. Resets in N days." message as a connection-scoped quota exhaustion with an N-day cooldown (instead of a ~5s transient retry), so an exhausted account stops being re-selected until its window resets. ([#6061](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6061) — thanks @KooshaPari / @anki1kr, whose superseded #6086 carried the same day-parser approach)
+- **combo (sibling-model fallback on per-model-quota 500s):** when a combo held multiple models from the same provider (e.g. two Gemini models) and the first returned a server 500, the router retried the same locked model and surfaced a 429 "cooling down" instead of trying the sibling — `markConnectionLevelExhaustion` was wrongly tripped by a model-level 500 for per-model-quota providers (gemini, github, passthrough, compatible), and the retry loop didn't check `isModelLocked` before re-hitting the same model. Both gaps are fixed; the combo now falls through to the untried sibling model. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo/combo-target-exhaustion.test.ts` (21 cases). ([#5976](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5976) — thanks @hartmark)
+- **providers (Cline non-streaming envelope):** Cline can return OpenAI-compatible chat completions wrapped as `{ success, data: { choices, usage, ... } }`; the non-streaming path checked the top-level body for empty content before unwrapping, so a valid wrapped response could be misclassified as malformed/empty. The envelope is now unwrapped immediately after provider-envelope handling, before empty-content detection, usage extraction, and translation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cline-response-envelope.test.ts`. ([#6046](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6046) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **providers (kimi-web, qwen-web):** align the kimi-web model catalog and request-scenario selection with `www.kimi.com`'s live `GetAvailableModels` response, and stop aliasing `qwen3-coder-plus` on qwen-web now that it is present as its own model in the live Qwen web catalog. ([#5915](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5915) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **translator (Antigravity/Gemini tool schemas):** strip `multipleOf` from function-declaration parameters before forwarding to Antigravity/Gemini — it is not part of the Gemini OpenAPI 3.0 schema subset accepted upstream and triggered a hard 400 ("Unknown name multipleOf"). Added to `GEMINI_UNSUPPORTED_SCHEMA_KEYS` so it is stripped at every schema level; `minimum`/`maximum` are unaffected since Gemini accepts them. (Ported from 9router#2309, reported by @abil0321.) ([#6052](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6052))
+- **translator (Kiro system prompt leak):** Kiro/CodeWhisperer has no system role, so system messages were normalized into a bare user turn — the full Claude Code system prompt then appeared as raw user text, polluting model context. System-origin content is now wrapped in `<system-reminder>` tags before merging into the Kiro user message; real user turns are unaffected. (Ported from 9router#2306, reported by @VitzS7.) ([#6053](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6053))
+- **fix(codex):** convert Chat Completions `json_schema` `response_format` → Responses API `text.format` on the Codex path, and preserve an existing `text.format` through verbosity normalization. Regression guards: 48 translator-openai-responses-req + 8 codex-verbosity tests. ([#5933](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5933) — thanks @yusufrahadika)
+- **fix(thinking):** only inject the `redacted_thinking` replay block when `tool_use` is present and thinking is enabled, avoiding a fabricated replay block on plain (non-tool) turns. ([#5945](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5945), [#5953](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5953))
+- **fix(resilience):** honor active **codex session affinity** over per-request reset-aware re-scoring, so an in-flight session sticks to its pinned account instead of being re-scored away mid-conversation. New `src/sse/services/sessionAffinityPin.ts` module. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-session-affinity-reset-aware-5903.test.ts`. ([#5903](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5903), [#5943](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5943))
+- **fix(resilience):** compute per-window `is_exhausted` and honor the quota-exhaustion preflight for **priority combos**, so a combo no longer keeps routing to a target whose current window is already exhausted. New `open-sse/services/combo/quotaExhaustionCutoff.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-priority-quota-exhaustion-cutoff-5923.test.ts`. ([#5923](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5923), [#5941](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5941))
+- **fix(providers):** strip a `/v1` suffix from the base URL unconditionally in both models-discovery paths, avoiding a doubled `/v1/v1/models` fetch error (e.g. Api Airforce). Regression guard: `tests/unit/airforce-v1-double-prefix-5899.test.ts`. ([#5899](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5899), [#5920](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5920) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(api):** relax provider-scoped chat completion validation on `/api/providers/[provider]/chat/completions`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-scoped-chat-completions-validation.test.ts`. ([#5907](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5907) — thanks @nickwizard)
+- **fix(providers):** validate **v0 Platform** (Vercel) API keys via the `/chats` endpoint instead of a probe that rejected valid keys. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-validation-specialty.test.ts`. ([#5954](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5954) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+- **fix(mcp):** auto-recover stale streamable HTTP MCP sessions on `initialize` instead of failing the reconnect. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mcp-session-sweep.test.ts`. ([#5957](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5957) — thanks @Chewji9875)
+- **fix(translator):** enforce strict Anthropic content-block compliance when converting an antigravity → openai request. Regression guard: `tests/unit/translator-antigravity-to-openai.test.ts` (9). ([#5935](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5935))
+- **fix(sse):** strip ANSI/VT100 escape codes from `gemini-cli` stream frames using a ReDoS-safe pattern. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-cli-ansi-sanitization.test.ts` (5). ([#5934](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5934) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(discovery):** resolve a doubled `/v1` discovery path and a `REDIRECT_BLOCKED` probe-loop abort in the model-discovery route. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-route.test.ts`. ([#5904](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5904) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **fix(providers): Perplexity Web now emits real `tool_calls` in streaming mode** — previously only non-streaming requests (`hasTools && !stream`) converted `<tool>{...}</tool>` text into OpenAI `tool_calls`; streaming requests (the default for agentic coding clients) got the raw `<tool>` text as plain `delta.content` and never emitted a `tool_calls` SSE delta. Now mirrors the `chatgpt-web` `toolMode` helpers (`buildToolModeResponse()`/`toolCompletionToSseStream()`, extended with a caller-supplied `idSeed` so tool-call ids stay provider-specific), buffering the completion and emitting a terminal SSE replay carrying `delta.tool_calls` + `finish_reason: tool_calls` regardless of the caller's stream flag. ([#5927](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5927), [#5937](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5937))
+- **providers (openai-family model inference no longer hijacks cataloged models):** `resolveModelByProviderInference()` had an unconditional `/^gpt-/i` heuristic that hijacked any model id starting with `gpt-`/`o1`/`o3` into provider `openai`, even when the id is cataloged under other providers — breaking bare (non-combo) requests for open-weight models like `gpt-oss-120b` (served by fireworks/cerebras/scaleway/byteplus/sambanova/heroku), which don't exist on openai's catalog, producing a 404 with no fallback. The heuristic is now gated on `providers.length === 0` so it only fires for genuinely uncataloged openai-family ids. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gptoss-provider-inference-5852.test.ts`. ([#5852](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5852), [#5938](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5938))
+- **fix(providers): deepseek-web reliability** — auto-refresh the session on `401`/`403`, refresh the v2.0.0 client headers, and fix the token-kind bulk import path. Regression guards: `tests/unit/deepseek-web-autorefresh-401-response.test.ts`, `tests/unit/bulk-web-session-import.test.ts`. ([#5988](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5988) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(api):** guard the shared frontend API client (`handleResponse` in `src/shared/utils/api.ts`) against non-JSON error responses — it previously called `response.json()` unconditionally and read `data.error` directly, throwing an unrelated parse error (or `undefined`) instead of a useful message when an upstream/proxy returned a non-JSON error body. Now routes through `parseResponseBody`/`getErrorMessage` to build a safe message regardless of body shape. Regression guard: `tests/unit/shared-api-utils.test.ts`. ([#5973](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5973))
+- **fix(embeddings):** forward the connection-level proxy configuration to embedding requests — `src/lib/embeddings/service.ts` previously ignored a connection's configured proxy when making embedding calls, so proxy-only network setups leaked embedding traffic outside the proxy. Regression guard: `tests/unit/embeddings-proxy-forwarding.test.ts`. ([#5975](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5975))
+- **fix(resilience):** parse `Retry-After` from a 429's JSON body for cooldown calculation, not just the HTTP header — a new `retryAfterJson.ts` helper extracts a retry-after hint from common JSON error-body shapes and `accountFallback.ts`'s cooldown path now prefers it when the header is absent. Regression guard: `tests/unit/account-fallback-retry-after-json.test.ts`. (Includes #6013's retry-after-json extraction.) ([#5974](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5974) — thanks @KooshaPari)

+- **release close (release-PR one-pass CI sweep):** restore Zod validation on the provider-scoped chat route with a `.passthrough()` schema that keeps #5907's relaxed semantics (t06 route-validation gate); point `/api/keys/{id}/devices`' 401 response at the management error envelope in `docs/openapi.yaml` (Schemathesis schema-conformance); rebaseline `i18nUiCoverage.pct` 77.5→76.8 (~1352 new en.json UI keys from the cycle await the async translation workflow — same shape as the v3.8.39 rebaseline); dismiss 2 CodeQL `js/incomplete-url-substring-sanitization` false positives on unit-test asserts (v3.8.35 precedent).

+- **release close (Phase 0 pre-flight):** align cycle-stale tests with merged behavior — provider count 166→167 (Kenari #6104), Linux-regenerated translate-path golden (+`kenari`), OpenCode quota scope `provider`→`connection` (#6061) — and absorb cycle ratchet drift (file-size caps for `oauth/[provider]/[action]/route.ts` 960, `providerLimits.ts` 998, `chat.ts` 1662, `auth.ts` 2426, with #6158 tracked to restore the oauth-route freeze). The test-masking gate gains a narrowly-scoped `_deletedWithReplacement` allowlist section (deletion is exempt ONLY when the declared replacement test file exists in HEAD — used for `targetExhaustion.test.ts` → `tests/unit/combo/combo-target-exhaustion.test.ts`, which has MORE coverage: 21 cases/52 asserts vs 13/37), plus 5 new gate unit tests and reduction-allowlist entries for the verified-legitimate #5958/#6088/#5816 assert migrations.
+
+- **test (deflake `setup-claude`):** `tests/unit/cli/setup-claude.test.ts` failed ~50% of runs with `Unable to deserialize cloned data due to invalid or unsupported version` at file teardown (all subtests passed), randomly reddening `Unit Tests fast-path (2/2)` / `Fast Quality Gates` across the PR→release queue. Root cause: `node --test` streams each file's report to the parent as V8-serialized frames on fd 1 (stdout), and the CLI helper under test (`syncClaudeProfilesFromModels`) prints progress via `console.log` — that stdout output interleaved with the serialized frames and corrupted the stream. The test now silences the stdout-writing `console` methods for the file's duration (no assertion inspects stdout), making it deterministic (15/15 green locally). ([#5959](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5959)) ([#6021](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6021))
+
+- **API validation:** add a `validatedJsonBody(request, schema)` helper in `src/shared/validation/helpers.ts` that fuses JSON body parsing and Zod validation into a single call, returning either the type-narrowed data or a ready-to-return 400 `NextResponse` with the standard error envelope. Salvaged from the closed refactor PR #5075 (Tier 1 portable helper) with a focused 6-case regression test. Co-authored-by: KooshaPari <KooshaPari@users.noreply.github.com>
+- **repo (Windows case-conflict cleanup):** remove the stale root `DESIGN.md`, which case-conflicted with `design.md` and broke checkouts/clones on case-insensitive Windows filesystems. ([#6140](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6140) — thanks @backryun)
+- **i18n(zh-CN):** translate the CHANGELOG entries and section headings, adopting zh-CN as a fully translated locale alongside the existing supporting docs. ([#6043](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6043) — thanks @studyzy)
+- **docs (env-doc-sync base-red):** document `BIFROST_PORT` in `.env.example` / `docs/reference/ENVIRONMENT.md` — the Bifrost embedded-service merge referenced `process.env.BIFROST_PORT` (default 8080) without documenting it, so `check:env-doc-sync` failed on the release tip and reddened Fast Quality Gates for every open PR→release. Docs-only (`8d7e3e28f`).
+- **test (CI-runner-independent translate-path golden):** normalize OS/arch-derived request headers (`X-Stainless-Os`/`X-Stainless-Arch`, `(OS;arch)` User-Agent segments, and Antigravity's `os.platform()`-derived platform substring) in the provider translate-path golden snapshot, so the test no longer depends on the OS/arch of the CI runner that generated it — a Mac-literal Antigravity UA was failing on Linux CI. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-translate-path-golden.test.ts`. ([#6076](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6076) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **release-green base-reds (#5695 regex + file-size rebaseline):** `tests/unit/ui/quick-start-api-keys-link-5695.test.ts` now tolerates Prettier splitting a multi-line `<Link href=...>` so the `step1Desc` regex matches the `/dashboard/api-manager` link instead of skipping to `step2`'s single-line `/dashboard/providers` link (test was brittle, not the code). Also rebaselines 5 files that grew via already-merged release-tip PRs in `config/quality/file-size-baseline.json` (`ApiManagerPageClient` 3017→3058, `OAuthModal` 969→989, `cliRuntime` 1090→1100, `webProvidersA` 805→809, `deepseek-web.test` 1081→1092), with shrink tracked in #3501. ([#6093](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6093))
+- **release close (LEDGER-4 base-red):** the `cline-pass` provider's `minimax-m3` registry entry was missing `supportsVision`, breaking the LEDGER-4 registry-consistency test (every `minimax-m3` entry must set `supportsVision` to match `lite.ts` — the model is multimodal). Flagged it to match every other `minimax-m3` entry (trae, bazaarlink, cline, ollama-cloud, ...). ([#6003](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6003))
+- **release close (stryker `tap.testFiles` drift):** additional release-green cleanup clearing the `qoder` registry's `minimax-m3` `supportsVision` LEDGER-4 base-red and `stryker.conf.json`'s `tap.testFiles` drift. ([#6012](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6012))
+- **install (pnpm 11+ support):** pnpm 11 introduced `ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS` for native addon packages — without explicit `allowBuilds` approval, packages silently skip their build scripts and OmniRoute fails to start with missing native modules. Sets `allowBuilds=true` for all 13 native addon packages in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` (`@parcel/watcher`, `@swc/core`, `better-sqlite3`, `core-js`, `esbuild`, `keytar`, `koffi`, `libxmljs2`, `onnxruntime-node`, `protobufjs`, `sharp`, `tls-client-node`, `unrs-resolver`) and migrates `onlyBuiltDependencies` from the deprecated `package.json` field to a new `pnpm.json`. (commit 39349da18 — thanks @chirag127)
+- **refactor (Block J hot-path decomposition):** extract pure leaves with no behavior change from the executor, translator, combo, and SSE hot paths — orphaned executor tests moved to top-level so a runner collects them, and `handleComboChat`'s auto-strategy/target-timeout regions split into named helpers. ([#6063](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6063), [#6049](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6049), [#6036](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6036), [#6030](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6030), [#6020](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6020), [#6018](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6018), [#6017](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6017), [#6016](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6016), [#6015](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6015), [#6014](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6014), [#6008](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6008), [#6006](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6006), [#6000](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6000), [#5999](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5999), [#5994](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5994), [#5967](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5967), [#5962](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5962), [#5960](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5960), [#5947](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5947), [#5949](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5949), [#5940](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5940), [#5932](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5932))
+- **chore (quality/CI housekeeping):** rebaseline residual ESLint/cognitive-complexity/file-size drift accumulated over the v3.8.44 cycle, move orphaned executor tests to a top-level location so a runner actually collects them, harden the release pipeline with a test-masking pre-flight gate plus contributors/uncovered helpers, and make the `pr-evidence` FAIL output tell the author to push (a body edit alone does not re-run the gate). ([#5926](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5926), [#5944](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5944), [#5952](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5952), [#6027](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6027), [#5928](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5928), plus a #5975-collateral test hardening pinning a seeded connection to direct egress in route-edge-coverage)
+- **docs (housekeeping):** normalize mixed-language documentation content, restore the OpenAPI coverage ratchet by documenting 9 newly-added routes, record Hard Rule #22 (cross-session safety — `git stash` + in-flight PR bans), and document the compression-engine's upstream sync policy for the RTK/Caveman engines. ([#6105](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6105), [#5955](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5955), [#5948](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5948), plus docs-only commit 926b08aa8)

-As credenciais OAuth embutidas no OmniRoute estão cadastradas **apenas para `localhost`**. Quando você acessa o OmniRoute em um servidor remoto (ex: `https://omniroute.meuservidor.com`), o Google rejeita a autenticação com:
-
-```
-Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch
-```
-
-#### Solução: Configure suas próprias credenciais OAuth
-
-Você precisa criar um **OAuth 2.0 Client ID** no Google Cloud Console com a URI do seu servidor.
-
-#### Passo a passo
-
-**1. Acesse o Google Cloud Console**
-
-Abra: [https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials)
-
-**2. Crie um novo OAuth 2.0 Client ID**
-
-- Clique em **"+ Create Credentials"** → **"OAuth client ID"**
-- Tipo de aplicativo: **"Web application"**
-- Nome: escolha qualquer nome (ex: `OmniRoute Remote`)
-
-**3. Adicione as Authorized Redirect URIs**
-
-No campo **"Authorized redirect URIs"**, adicione:
-
-```
-https://seu-servidor.com/callback
-```
-
-> Substitua `seu-servidor.com` pelo domínio ou IP do seu servidor (inclua a porta se necessário, ex: `http://45.33.32.156:20128/callback`).
-
-**4. Salve e copie as credenciais**
-
-Após criar, o Google mostrará o **Client ID** e o **Client Secret**.
-
-**5. Configure as variáveis de ambiente**
-
-No seu `.env` (ou nas variáveis de ambiente do Docker):
-
-```bash
-# Para Antigravity:
-ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=seu-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
-ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-seu-secret
-
-GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=seu-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
-GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-seu-secret
-```
-
-**6. Reinicie o OmniRoute**
-
-```bash
-# Se usando npm:
-npm run dev
-
-# Se usando Docker:
-docker restart omniroute
-```
-
-**7. Tente conectar novamente**
-
-
-Agora o Google redirecionará corretamente para `https://seu-servidor.com/callback` e a autenticação funcionará.
-
----
-
-#### Workaround temporário (sem configurar credenciais próprias)
-
-Se não quiser criar credenciais próprias agora, ainda é possível usar o fluxo **manual de URL**:
-
-1. O OmniRoute abrirá a URL de autorização do Google
-2. Após você autorizar, o Google tentará redirecionar para `localhost` (que falha no servidor remoto)
-3. **Copie a URL completa** da barra de endereço do seu browser (mesmo que a página não carregue)
-4. Cole essa URL no campo que aparece no modal de conexão do OmniRoute
-5. Clique em **"Connect"**
-
-> Este workaround funciona porque o código de autorização na URL é válido independente do redirect ter carregado ou não.

+- **feat(release):** `changelog.d/` fragments — eliminates the CHANGELOG merge-storm cascade. ([#6783](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6783) — thanks @diegosouzapw)

+
+- **feat(dashboard):** sidebar quick-filter — a search input at the top of the expanded dashboard sidebar (`src/shared/components/Sidebar.tsx`) filters nav sections/groups/items client-side by label as you type, reusing the existing `common.search`/`common.noResults` i18n keys (zero new locale edits) and the shared `Input` `icon="search"` pattern; matching sections auto-expand while searching (bypassing the accordion/pin state) and collapse back to normal once the query is cleared. Pure filtering logic extracted into `filterSidebarSectionsByQuery()` (`src/shared/utils/sidebarSearch.ts`) for isolated unit testing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/sidebar-search-filter.test.ts`, `src/shared/components/Sidebar.search.test.tsx`. (#4013 — thanks @crochabe-cyber)
+- **feat(combo):** `auto/*` combos gain a strict budget-cap fallback policy — `X-OmniRoute-Budget-Fallback: strict` (or the persisted `config.budgetFallback: "strict"`) makes an over-budget request fail fast with `HTTP 402` instead of the previous silent fallback to the globally cheapest candidate, which could still exceed the cap. The default (`cheapest`) preserves existing behavior. Builds on the existing `X-OmniRoute-Budget`/`X-OmniRoute-Mode` per-request controls (#6023/#6024/#6025), consolidated into `resolveRequestAutoControls()`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auto-combo-budget-fallback-3470.test.ts`. (#3470)
+- **Provider/model param filters**: config-driven parameter denylist/allowlist per provider/model with auto-learn from upstream 400s (#6649 — thanks @ThongAccount, closes #6625)
+- **Per-combo reasoning token buffer toggle**: the combo builder now exposes an explicit checkbox for the `#3587` reasoning-model `max_tokens` buffer, defaulting to the existing enabled behavior, so a combo can opt out without hand-editing raw JSON config (#6702 — thanks @xz-dev)
+- **feat(dashboard):** 9router-parity **Routing Strategy** settings card on Settings → Routing, plus a per-provider account-routing override on the provider detail page ([#6678](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6678)) — surfaces the existing account round-robin / sticky-limit knobs and adds a new combo-level sticky round-robin (`comboStickyRoundRobinLimit`, resolved via `resolveComboStickyRoundRobinLimit()` — per-combo → global combo sticky → account sticky cascade) so combo targets can batch calls per target the same way account fallback already does. A new `providerStrategies` setting (Zod-validated map, `src/shared/validation/settingsSchemas.ts`) lets a specific provider override the global `fallbackStrategy`/`stickyRoundRobinLimit` without touching the account-wide default, wired into `getProviderCredentials()` (`src/sse/services/auth.ts`) ahead of the global fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-rr-sticky-9router.test.ts`, `tests/unit/settings-ui-layout-static.test.ts`. (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **feat(icons):** provider logos now resolve local SVG assets first for faster rendering, with a 5-tier fallback chain — local SVG → `@lobehub/icons` React components → `thesvg.org` CDN (external SVG for unknown providers) → local PNG → generic AI icon — replacing the previous LobeHub-first order. Adds dozens of first-party provider SVGs and migrates several bitmap logos (continue/copilot/cursor/deepgram/heroku/openclaw/ovhcloud) from PNG to SVG. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/ProviderIcon-icon-url.test.tsx`. ([#6317](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6317) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **Skill Collector CLI detection**: new `GET /api/skills/collect/detect` + `POST /api/skills/collect/install` (and the `cli-skill-collector` agent skill) detect which coding CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Cline, Hermes, OpenCode, etc.) are installed locally via `getCliRuntimeStatus()`, match them against GitHub agent-skill repos, and plan an install path per tool — replacing the standalone Skill Collector Python app. Both new routes and `GET/POST /api/github-skills` now require management auth (`requireManagementAuth()`) and are loopback-gated (`LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` + `SPAWN_CAPABLE_PREFIXES`) since the detect route spawns a child process per candidate CLI tool (Hard Rules #15 + #17). The `omniroute_github_skills_install` MCP tool now reports the honest `action: "planned"` instead of `"installed"`, matching the REST route (#6294 — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **ClinePass dual-auth**: ClinePass now offers both sign-in methods on its dashboard page — OAuth (reusing the Cline WorkOS flow) as the primary "Connect" path, or a pasted BYOK API key via "Manual API key", instead of only the API-key-only provider shipped in #5942. The registry alias was aligned to `cp` (matching the `OAUTH_PROVIDERS` catalog alias) so `<alias>/<modelId>` routing resolves correctly, the OAuth refresh dispatch now routes `clinepass` to the shared Cline refresh flow, and the duplicate API-key-only catalog entry was removed to keep ClinePass listed once. Regression guard: `tests/unit/clinepass-provider.test.ts`. (#6126 — thanks @hajilok)
+- **feat(oauth):** Kiro/Amazon Q auto-import now supports enterprise **External IdP** ("Your organization") logins via Microsoft Entra/Okta/Auth0/OneLogin/Ping/Google/Cognito — these org-issued tokens are not AWS SSO tokens (no `aorAAAAAG`-prefixed refresh token) and can't refresh through the AWS OIDC/Kiro-social path, so `tryAwsSsoCache()` now detects them (`authMethod`/`provider === "externalidp"`) and refreshes via the org IdP's own `tokenEndpoint` (public-client OAuth2 refresh grant, no client secret), persisting `TokenType: EXTERNAL_IDP` gating so the runtime executor sends the header the AWS CodeWhisperer API requires for these accounts; `tokenEndpoint` is SSRF-guarded against an HTTPS + known-IdP-host-suffix allowlist. (#6363 — thanks @artickc)
+- **Kiro long-lived API key auth**: new `/api/oauth/kiro/api-key` route + `KiroService.validateApiKey` let a Kiro account be linked with a long-lived AWS CodeWhisperer/Kiro API key instead of the interactive OAuth device flow, with live per-account model discovery (`ListAvailableModels`, 5-minute cache) layered over the existing static registry fallback (#6587 — thanks @strangersp)
+- **Chaos Mode**: multi-model parallel/collaborative task execution — dispatches a task to every active provider connection at once (parallel) or chains outputs sequentially so each model builds on the previous one's answer (collaborative), configurable via Dashboard → Chaos Mode (`GET`/`PUT`/`DELETE /api/chaos/config`) and gated per-API-key via a new `chaosModeEnabled` permission (opt-in — disabled by default globally and per key). `POST /api/chaos/run` (dashboard session) and `POST /api/skills/collect/chaos` (external Bearer-token) delegate to a shared `executeChaosRun()` engine (`src/lib/chaos/chaosExecutor.ts`) that dispatches in-process via the established synthetic-Request/route-handler pattern (no network hop, no hardcoded port), with a concurrency cap (max 10 parallel), configurable `max_tokens` (256–128k), a clear error when `stream` is requested, and collaborative-chain info (provider order + input size). Fixes external Bearer-auth bypass and stale config-cache leakage. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chaos-config.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chaos-executor.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chaos-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6728](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6728) — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **feat(cli):** 2 new CLI tool integrations on Dashboard → CLI Tools — **omp** (Oh My Pi) and **letta** — each with binary detection, config apply/reset, and a settings card following the existing tool-card pattern. Both settings routes shell out to `which omp`/`which letta` to detect the local install, so they're loopback-gated (`LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES`, Hard Rules #15/#17) in addition to the shared `requireCliToolsAuth()` management-auth guard every cli-tools route requires, and route errors through `sanitizeErrorMessage()`; `src/lib/db/omp.ts` isolates the `omp` CLI's own local SQLite reads behind parameterized queries. (Note: the original PR also proposed **pi**, **codewhale**, and **jcode** integrations — those three had already shipped via a separate PR by the time this one was reconciled, so only omp+letta landed here.) Regression guard: `tests/unit/db/omp.test.ts`, `tests/unit/cli-tools-auth-hardening.test.ts`, `tests/integration/cli-settings-omp.test.ts`, `tests/integration/cli-settings-letta.test.ts`. ([#6318](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6318) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **feat(providers):** custom models now support a manual **Context Window Override** so an operator can correct a provider's misreported context length (e.g. reports 1M when the real limit is 128K) instead of the model silently getting dropped from combo routing once the wrong value lands in the catalog ([#4125](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/4125) — thanks @rucciva). Reuses the existing Feature-5004 `model_context_overrides` table (`source: "manual"`) — already the priority-0 source `getModelContextLimit()` (the function combo's context-window filter calls) reads ahead of the models.dev/registry/static catalog — so no new resolver logic was needed, only the missing write path: `PUT /api/provider-models` now accepts an optional `contextWindowOverride` (number to set, `null` to clear), `GET` surfaces the current value back on each custom-model row, and the provider detail page's custom-model edit form gained a Context Window Override field + badge. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-context-window-override-4125.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** register OpenRouter as a rerank provider so `openrouter/cohere/rerank-*` models resolve instead of erroring `Invalid rerank model` (#6574 — thanks @rafpigna)
+- **fix(api):** `HEAD` requests no longer hang until client timeout on any route — valid, unknown, authed, or unauthed ([#6400](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6400)), broader follow-up to the route-specific #6517 (`/v1/models`). Root cause: Next.js 16's App Router _route-handler_ pipeline (`next/dist/server/send-response.js`) correctly skips piping a `Response` body for `HEAD`, but its _page_-rendering pipeline (`next/dist/server/pipe-readable.js` → `pipeToNodeResponse`, used for every app-router page/layout render — including the `not-found` boundary any unmatched path falls through to) has no such check and always streams the full rendered body regardless of method; combined with Node's default keep-alive framing this left some clients unsure whether the (implicitly bodyless) `HEAD` response had actually finished. A new `scripts/dev/head-response-guard.cjs`, wired into both the dev/start custom server (`scripts/dev/run-next.mjs`) and the packaged standalone server (`scripts/dev/standalone-server-ws.mjs`) at the same tier as the existing `http-method-guard.cjs`/`peer-stamp.mjs` wrappers, discards any body bytes written for a `HEAD` request and forces `Connection: close` once `.end()` is called — independent of route existence or auth state, satisfying RFC 9110 §9.3.2. Regression guard: `tests/unit/head-request-closes-6400.test.ts`.
+- **feat(dashboard):** Provider Quota page (`Dashboard → Quota`) fills horizontal whitespace before stacking vertically ([#3520](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3520)) — `QuotaCardGrid` previously stacked every provider group in a single vertical `flex flex-col`, and each group's own card grid didn't go multi-column until `md` (`grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 xl:grid-cols-3 2xl:grid-cols-4`). Provider groups now flow into a 2-column CSS multi-column layout on very wide (`2xl`) screens instead of an unconditional vertical stack, and each group's card grid starts at 2 columns immediately (`grid-cols-2 md:grid-cols-3 xl:grid-cols-4`), reaching higher density sooner on narrower-but-not-mobile viewports. Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-card-grid-horizontal-layout.test.ts` (thanks @gdevenyi).
+- **feat(ws):** the live-dashboard WebSocket server now auto-starts in-process (via `instrumentation-node.ts`) across every deployment mode — dev, production, Docker, Electron — with no separate sidecar script; the default WS port moved from 20129 to **20132** to avoid colliding with `API_PORT` in split-port setups, the deprecated `OMNIROUTE_DISABLE_LIVE_WS` env was consolidated into `OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS` (default enabled), and the WS path is now derived from `NEXT_PUBLIC_LIVE_WS_PUBLIC_URL`'s pathname (`/live-ws` fallback) (#6072 — thanks @ianriizky).
+- **feat(compression):** new **omniglyph** engine (context-as-image) — renders system prompt, tool docs, and dense history as compact PNG pages the model reads instead of text (~10× fewer tokens on the converted block; 59–70% end-to-end measured). Works stacked with RTK/Caveman (`stackPriority: 90`) or standalone (`mode: omniglyph`); restricted to Claude Fable 5 over the direct Anthropic route, fail-closed gates with `skip:<reason>` techniques, preview (`stable: false`, off by default) (#6556). Dependency bumped to `omniglyph@^1.0.2` for upstream ReDoS fixes (#6661).
+- **feat(sandbox):** the skill sandbox gained a container-provider abstraction that auto-detects and uses the best native runtime per host — Apple Container (macOS 26+), WSL container (`wslc.exe`), OrbStack, Podman — instead of hardcoding `docker run`, removing the Docker Desktop requirement on macOS/Windows (#6611 — thanks @KooshaPari).
+- **fix(sse):** skip `thinkingConfig` for Gemma models on the OpenAI→Gemini path so OpenAI-shape clients no longer get a 400 from Vertex. (thanks @chy1211)
+- **feat(xai):** route xAI clients to Grok's native `/v1/responses` endpoint instead of the chat-completions bridge. (thanks @ryanngit)
+- **feat(models):** add a Settings → AI "Model Overrides" UI plus `/api/model-capability-overrides` CRUD and a `model_capability_overrides` table, letting operators set a manual max-output-token override per provider/model (#6727 — thanks @xz-dev).
+- **feat(resilience):** operator-configurable account rotation policy — a new `rotationConfig` layer lets operators tune how connections rotate on failure, wired into `accountFallback` (#6763 — thanks @artickc).
+- **chore(cursor): add Grok 4.5 effort/fast model IDs** (#6774 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- **feat(codex):** Codex provider model discovery now fetches the live catalog from `chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/models` using Codex-shaped headers, falling back to a GitHub-hosted model manifest and then to the local static catalog when the live/GitHub sources are unavailable or return an unexpected shape — new `src/app/api/providers/[id]/models/discovery/codex.ts` (normalization, version-gating, merge/enrich against the local catalog) covered by `tests/unit/provider-models-discovery-split.test.ts` and `tests/unit/provider-models-route-codex.test.ts` (#6776 — thanks @JxnLexn).
+- **feat(cursor):** register the Opus 4.8, Fable 5, and Sonnet 5 model families for the Cursor Agent provider so the latest Claude/Fable model ids route correctly (#6779 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- **Changelog fragments (`changelog.d/`)**: PRs now add their changelog entry as a new fragment file (`changelog.d/{features|fixes|maintenance}/<PR>-<slug>.md`) instead of editing `CHANGELOG.md` — two PRs never touch the same file, structurally eliminating the CHANGELOG-eat merge conflicts that forced a re-sync push + full CI re-run after every sibling merge (O(N²) CI runs in a merge-storm). `scripts/release/aggregate-changelog.mjs` (npm run changelog:aggregate) folds fragments into the living section at release reconciliation, and `check:changelog-integrity` now also validates fragment well-formedness. Regression guard: `tests/unit/changelog-fragments.test.ts`.
+- **feat(proxy):** add a latency-optimized proxy rotation strategy that ranks pool entries by measured round-trip latency, extending the existing round-robin/random/sticky proxy-pool selection (#6798 — thanks @iamraydoan).
+- **feat(fusion):** the fusion judge may now draw on its own knowledge and override the panel when every panel answer is wrong or incomplete, instead of being restricted to synthesizing only from panel output (#6804 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **feat(dashboard):** search box on the Playground's raw model `<select>` (#4086) — the shared `ModelSelectModal` (combo builder + CLI-code cards) already had search, but Playground's `StudioConfigPane` model dropdown stayed a flat unsearchable list, unusable once a provider like OpenRouter contributed 50+ models. Typing now filters the dropdown (Turkish-safe accent/case-insensitive match via `matchesSearch`), while the currently selected model always stays pinned in the list even if it no longer matches the query, so typing never silently swaps the active selection. Reuses the existing `common.search` i18n key (already translated in all 42 locales) — no new translation key needed. Regression guard: `tests/unit/playground-model-selection-3731.test.ts` (`filterModelsByQuery`), `tests/unit/ui/playground-model-search-4086.test.tsx`.
+- **feat(usage):** Antigravity/agy quota widget now surfaces the **weekly** window alongside the existing per-model 5-hour window ([#4017](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/4017)) — the weekly limit isn't part of the per-model `retrieveUserQuota` response the fetcher already calls; it only appears in a separate, undocumented `retrieveUserQuotaSummary` RPC that groups models into families ("Gemini Models", "Claude and GPT models") with one weekly bucket per family. A new `usage/antigravityWeeklyQuota.ts` leaf fetches that RPC (cached, best-effort — a failure or unavailable RPC never breaks the existing per-model quotas) and parses the weekly bucket per group into `gemini_weekly`/`claude_gpt_weekly` quota entries, merged into the same `quotas` map the widget already renders generically. Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-weekly-quota-4017.test.ts` (bucket parsing, the alternate `quotaSummary`-nested envelope, and end-to-end merge via `getUsageForProvider`).
+- **feat(codex):** Codex CLI compatibility shim — the Responses API `response.created`/`response.in_progress`/`response.completed` payloads now carry a `model` field (previously absent), and for Codex-CLI-originated requests it echoes the client-requested, effort-suffixed model id (e.g. `gpt-5.5-xhigh`) instead of the bare upstream id (`gpt-5.5`), so the Codex CLI status line/model button shows the active reasoning effort ([#3697](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3697)). `openaiToOpenAIResponsesResponse` (`open-sse/translator/response/openai-responses.ts`) now threads the upstream model into the Responses event objects; a new `isCodexOriginatedHeaders()` (`open-sse/config/codexIdentity.ts`, reusing PR #3481's `originator`/User-Agent detection) makes chatCore's existing opt-in `echoRequestedModelName` (#1311) model-echo pipeline fire automatically for Codex clients regardless of the setting, detected by request headers so it still applies when `codex/gpt-5.5-xhigh` is routed through a combo to a non-codex upstream; `echoModelInObject`/`echoModelInSseLine` (`open-sse/services/responseModelEcho.ts`) now also rewrite the nested `response.model` field the Responses API uses. `/v1/models` still returns `models: []` for Codex (unchanged). Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-effort-model-echo-3697.test.ts`.
+- **Z.ai Web (free web-session provider)**: new `zai-web` web-cookie provider drives the free chat.z.ai consumer chat UI via a pasted browser session cookie, distinct from the existing API-key `zai`/`glm`/`glm-cn`/`glmt` providers (`api.z.ai`) — modeled on the `doubao-web`/`venice-web` cookie executors and the pre-existing `chatglm-web` credential requirement/token-extraction entries. `ZaiWebExecutor` (`open-sse/executors/zai-web.ts`) posts to `chat.z.ai/api/chat/completions` with the cookie forwarded both as `Cookie` and as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`, and normalizes both z.ai's internal `delta_content`/`phase` SSE envelope and a pass-through OpenAI-shaped `choices[].delta` frame into standard chat-completion chunks. Registered in `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS`, `WEB_SESSION_CREDENTIAL_REQUIREMENTS`, the provider registry (`zai-web` entry, GLM-4.6/4.5/4.5V models), and `tokenExtractionConfig.ts` for in-app cookie capture. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executor-zai-web.test.ts` (16 tests — token extraction, frame parsing for both SSE shapes, streaming and non-streaming aggregation, error paths). (#4056)
+- **feat(compression):** update the vendored **GCF** codec behind the **Headroom** engine to spec **v3.2 (nested flattening)** ([#6837](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6837)). Homogeneous arrays whose rows carry nested objects/arrays now tabularize via `>`-prefixed path fields instead of a low-yield per-row fallback, so nested MCP tool-result rows (`meta:{...}`, `tags:[...]`) compact like flat rows. On representative shapes the update takes deeply-nested payloads the old codec left near-uncompressed from ~3% to ~32% vs JSON (k8s pods, `cl100k_base`), with shallow-nested rows seeing a small bump and flat arrays unchanged. Re-vendored from current gcf-typescript (zero runtime deps, MIT, SPDX-marked, generic-profile only); also folds in the `[N]:` inline-array quoting fix and canonical decimal formatting. Round-trip stays lossless (order-insensitive), and the decoder is hardened against prototype pollution (a `__proto__`/`constructor` path segment never mutates `Object.prototype`, and keys shadowing built-ins like `toString` now round-trip correctly instead of misparsing). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression/headroom-smartcrusher.test.ts` (deep-nested + prototype-pollution cases).
+- **feat(providers):** Add GPT-5.6 support across OpenAI API, Codex, and ChatGPT Web, including Codex Max/Ultra efforts, VS Code metadata, Fast-tier credit accounting, curated live discovery, the Codex 0.144.1 client identity, and correct chat routing for models that also support image generation ([#6862](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6862)) - thanks @backryun
+- **chore(providers):** Align emitted Claude Code identity headers, bridge fingerprints, provider profiles, and documented defaults with claude-cli 2.1.207 ([#6862](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6862)) - thanks @backryun
+
+### 🐛 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(dashboard):** the Proxy Registry settings page crashed at runtime (`ReferenceError: poolLoaded/bulkImportOpen is not defined`) — the #6625/#6909 hook-extraction refactors deleted 10 state declarations (`poolLoaded`, `poolSaving`, and the 8-member bulk-import family) while ~30 usages remained; all restored (caught by the release E2E; `typecheck:core` does not cover dashboard TSX — follow-up #7021). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(combo):** `comboStickyRoundRobinLimit` now defaults to inherit (`null`) instead of `1` — the literal default silently shadowed the documented batched round-robin rotation (`stickyRoundRobinLimit: 3`), flipping every round-robin combo to per-request alternation (#6678 follow-up, caught by the release CI). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(ws):** the standalone LiveWS startup script exited 0 without ever listening — its bootstrapped child re-spawned with the import-suppressor `OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS=0` and then honored it as an operator disable (#6072 follow-up, caught by the release CI). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(api):** compression PUT schema accepts every catalog engine. ([#6792](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6792) — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch)

+- **fix(providers):** enrich the model_cooldown 429 body with a `retry_after` ISO timestamp + credential count. ([#6460](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6460), [#6523](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6523) — thanks @chirag127)

+- **fix(oauth):** Trae OAuth client_id embedded via `resolvePublicCred()` (Hard Rule #11). ([#6870](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6870) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(sse):** combo path no longer trips the whole-provider breaker on a plain 429. ([#6868](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6868) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** malformed JSON bodies now return 400 instead of 500. ([#6871](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6871) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(fusion):** judge selected from a surviving panel member when no explicit judge is configured. ([#6869](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6869) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(sse):** combo model lockout honors the parsed upstream quota reset. ([#6863](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6863), [#6866](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6866) — thanks @AgentKiller45)
+- **fix(dashboard):** logs detail modal no longer reopens on first close. ([#6830](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6830) — thanks @MikeTuev)
+- **fix(usage):** honor xAI provider-reported exact cost. ([#6711](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6711) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(kiro):** probe IdC region during profileArn discovery, cross-region (recovers #6099). ([#6840](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6840) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(antigravity):** sanitize Cloud Code safety settings. ([#6839](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6839) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(translator):** defer `content_block_start` until GLM streams the tool name. ([#6730](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6730) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(translator):** strip empty `cloud_base_branch` from Cursor Subagent tool calls. ([#6729](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6729) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(antigravity):** surface aborted Gemini tool calls off `end_turn`. ([#6713](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6713) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(volcengine):** clamp Kimi `max_tokens` to the Ark endpoint cap. ([#6712](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6712) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(codex):** surface capacity errors embedded in 200-OK SSE streams. ([#6710](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6710) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(sse):** skip `thinkingConfig` for gemma models in openai→gemini translation. ([#6708](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6708) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(oauth):** avoid bare-email dedup of Codex OAuth logins. ([#6706](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6706) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(sse):** unwrap bare `{function:{…}}` tools in openai→claude translation. ([#6704](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6704) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(db):** eliminate a redundant `getApiKeyMetadata` call in the embeddings route. ([#6929](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6929) — thanks @oyi77)
+- **fix(db):** `authType` filter support in `getProviderConnections`. ([#6946](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6946) — thanks @oyi77)
+- **fix(i18n):** the provider-detail (`/dashboard/providers/[id]`) visibility + free/paid model filter labels (`showVisibleOnly`, `showHiddenOnly`, `freeFilterAll`, `freeFilterFreeOnly`, `freeFilterPaidOnly`, `hideAllModels`, plus the currently-unused `filterVisible`/`filterHidden`/`filterByVisibility`) rendered as the literal `__MISSING__:<english>` sentinel in 15 locales, including pt-BR ([#6694](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6694)) — `providerText()` (`providerPageHelpers.ts`) checks `t.has(key)` before falling back to clean English, and `t.has()` returns `true` even when the stored value is the `__MISSING__:` sentinel `scripts/i18n/sync-ui-keys.mjs` writes when mirroring keys across locales, so the sentinel rendered verbatim instead of the fallback. Disjoint key set from #6290 (`filterAll`/`filterActive`/`filterError`/`filterBanned`/`filterCreditsExhausted`). All 9 keys now carry real translations across the 15 affected locale files (`it`, `ja`, `ko`, `mr`, `ms`, `nl`, `no`, `phi`, `pl`, `pt`, `pt-BR`, `ro`, `ru`, `sk`, `sv`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-provider-visibility-filter-keys-6694.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(cli):** the dashboard's Claude Code CLI card could report "Not detected"/"Not installed" even when Claude Code was genuinely installed and previously used ([#6701](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6701)) — `getCliRuntimeStatus()` (`src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts`) determined `installed` purely from binary resolution (known install paths + a `where`/`which` PATH search), with no fallback when that lookup fails for reasons unrelated to whether the CLI is actually installed (stale PATH inherited by a long-running/background process, the binary having moved, an install method not yet catalogued, etc.) — even though `~/.claude/settings.json` on disk proves the tool was installed and used before. Upstream 9router's equivalent route already has this exact fallback. A new `withSettingsFallback()` (`src/shared/services/cliInstallFallback.ts`) restores 9router parity: when the binary lookup's own reason is `"not_found"` (never for deliberate security rejections like unsafe/relative env overrides or symlink escapes) and the tool's settings file exists on disk, `installed` now reports `true`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6701-claude-detect-fallback.test.ts`.
+- **fix(cli):** per-agent AgentBridge DNS toggle was broken for 8 of the 9 supported agents, and a failed MITM startup step could orphan the spawned proxy child — `addDNSEntry`/`removeDNSEntry` (`src/mitm/dns/dnsConfig.ts`) always resolved the legacy Antigravity default hosts regardless of which agent's toggle was flipped, so enabling DNS for Cursor/Codex/Claude Code/etc. silently added only `daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com` while the DB recorded `dns_enabled=true` for the selected agent. Both functions now accept an optional `agentId` and resolve hosts via `ALL_TARGETS`; `POST /api/tools/agent-bridge/agents/[id]/dns` passes the route's `id` through and now returns 404 for an id that doesn't match a known target instead of silently falling back. Separately, `startMitmInternal()` (`src/mitm/manager.ts`) now wraps `generateCert()` (log + rethrow), the `provisionDnsEntries()` call, and the PID-file write in try/catch so a mid-startup failure can't orphan the already-spawned MITM child process. On Windows, `addDNSEntries`/`removeDNSEntries` also batch every missing/present entry into a single elevated PowerShell invocation instead of one UAC prompt per host line. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dns-config-generic.test.ts` (agent-specific resolution + batching), `tests/unit/agent-bridge-dns-route-validation.test.ts` (404 for unknown agent id). ([#6338](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6338) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **fix(guardrails):** Vision Bridge's individual-model auto-reroute (route an image-bearing request straight to a vision-capable model instead of describe-then-forward) could bypass a policy-restricted API key's model allowlist/budget ([#6640](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6640)) — `VisionBridgeGuardrail.preCall()` (`src/lib/guardrails/visionBridge.ts`) swaps `body.model` to the best available vision-capable model, but that swap happens in the guardrail pipeline AFTER `chat.ts` already called `enforceApiKeyPolicy()` against the ORIGINAL model, so a key scoped to a narrow `allowedModels` list could still execute against an unvetted (and possibly costlier) vision model the reroute picked. `chat.ts` now re-validates any guardrail-driven model change against the same per-key allowlist (`isModelAllowedForKey`) before honoring it, falling back to the original already-approved model when the reroute target is not allowed. The reroute path also now honors an explicit `settings.visionBridgeModel` operator override (previously ignored, unlike the combo/describe path a few lines below it, which already respects it via `getVisionBridgeConfig`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/guardrails/visionBridge.test.ts` (22 tests). (thanks @herjarsa)
+- **fix(auth):** an API key restricted via `allowedModels`/`allowedCombos` could bypass that restriction entirely over the Codex Responses-over-WebSocket bridge ([#6564](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6564)) — `prepare()` in `src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts` authenticated the WS bridge's API key (`authenticate()`/`authorizeWebSocketHandshake()`) and honored `allowedConnections`, but never called `enforceApiKeyPolicy()`, the same model/combo policy gate the HTTP `/v1/responses` path enforces via `handleChat()` — so a key scoped to e.g. `combo/model-1.0` could still reach a direct Codex model like `gpt-5.5` through this transport, as long as an eligible Codex OAuth connection existed. The bridge's WS auth token arrives via query params (`api_key`/`token`/`access_token`), not a normal `Authorization` header, so a new `enforceCodexWsApiKeyPolicy()` builds an equivalent `Request` carrying an explicit `Authorization: Bearer <apiKey>` header and calls `enforceApiKeyPolicy()` against the CLIENT-requested model, before any Codex-specific model remapping or credential selection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-ws-policy-enforcement-6564.test.ts` (a model-restricted key is rejected 403 before reaching credential selection; a combo-restricted key is rejected 403 requesting a disallowed combo; a key that DOES allow the requested model still proceeds past policy). (thanks @Squawk7777 for the report and an independent fix via #6565)
+- **fix(security):** loopback-gate `/api/middleware/*` so a leaked JWT over a tunnel can't install or trigger a middleware hook — middleware hooks compile + run arbitrary JS via `new vm.Script` on the request hot path (`src/lib/middleware/registry.ts`), the same RCE class as the already-gated `/api/plugins/*`; `/api/middleware/` is now in `LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` so loopback enforcement runs unconditionally before any auth check (Hard Rules #15 + #17). Regression guard: `tests/unit/route-guard-middleware-local-only.test.ts`. ([#6541](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6541)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(startup):** AgentBridge's MITM server no longer fails to start with `ROUTER_API_KEY is required` on a normal install ([#6403](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6403)) — `POST /api/tools/agent-bridge/server` resolved the spawned MITM child's router key from only an explicit `apiKey` body field (never sent by the AgentBridge UI — the schema has no such field) and the `ROUTER_API_KEY` env var (unset by default), so `startMitm()` always received `""` and the child hard-exited, even though OmniRoute already had a usable API key in its own DB. A new `resolveRouterApiKey()` now falls back to `pickApiKeyForInternalUse()` (the same DB-backed selector the combo-health-check / cloud-sync internal probes use), resolving in order: explicit key → `ROUTER_API_KEY` env → an existing DB key. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentbridge-mitm-router-key-6403.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** deploying a Cloudflare relay Worker from Dashboard → System → Proxy pool → Cloudflare relay failed immediately with `Cloudflare Worker upload failed: Content-Type must be one of: application/javascript, text/javascript, multipart/form-data`, even with a valid token/account ([#6416](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6416)) — the Worker-script upload built a native `FormData` and let `fetch` derive the multipart Content-Type automatically, but in production `globalThis.fetch` is patched with `node_modules/undici`'s own fetch (`open-sse/utils/proxyFetch.ts`), whose `FormData`/`Request` classes differ from the runtime's global `FormData` (same cross-realm class mismatch already fixed once for image edits in #3273); passing a native `FormData` instance through undici's patched fetch made it serialize the body as the literal string `"[object FormData]"` with `Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8`, which Cloudflare rejects outright. `buildCloudflareWorkerUploadRequest()` (`src/lib/proxyRelay/cloudflareWorkerScript.ts`) now builds the multipart body as a raw `Buffer` with an explicit boundary and `Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=…` header, accepted verbatim by any fetch implementation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloudflare-worker-upload-content-type-6416.test.ts` + updated `tests/unit/relay-deploy-5128.test.ts`.
+- **fix(security):** SSRF-guard the provider-validation probes so they can no longer be used as an open relay to cloud-metadata endpoints — `directHttpsRequest()` (web-cookie / NVIDIA / Z.AI validation, all with a caller-controllable `baseUrl`) ran with `guard:"none"` + `allowRedirect:true`; it now applies `getProviderValidationGuard()` (default `block-metadata`: LAN/localhost allowed, `169.254.169.254`/link-local IMDS rejected, opt-out via `OMNIROUTE_ALLOW_PRIVATE_PROVIDER_URLS`) and `allowRedirect:false` so a provider can't 3xx-redirect the probe to metadata past the initial-URL guard. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-validation-ssrf-guard.test.ts`. ([#6542](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6542)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(startup):** AgentBridge's MITM proxy served a mismatched cert for 3 of the 4 antigravity/cloudcode-pa hosts it terminates TLS for, breaking interception ([#6494](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6494)) — `src/mitm/server.cjs`'s `TARGET_HOSTS` decrypts all 4 hosts locally (`daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`, `cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`, `daily-cloudcode-pa.sandbox.googleapis.com`, `autopush-cloudcode-pa.sandbox.googleapis.com`), but `src/mitm/cert/generate.ts`'s self-signed cert only carried a SAN entry for the first host — a request to any of the other 3 got served a cert whose CN/SAN didn't match (confirmed via `curl -k https://cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com/` showing `CN=daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`). `generateCert()` now sources its host list from `ANTIGRAVITY_TARGET.hosts` (`src/mitm/targets/antigravity.ts`, the single authoritative registry already kept in lock-step with `server.cjs`/`dnsConfig.ts`/`mitmToolHosts.ts` by their own drift tests) and emits a SAN entry for all 4 hosts instead of hard-coding a second, incomplete copy. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentbridge-antigravity-cert-hosts-6494.test.ts` (asserts the host list covers all 4 hosts and that the real generated cert's SAN includes each one).
+- **fix(resilience):** a `priority` combo never fell back when a target masked credit/quota exhaustion behind an HTTP 200 ([#6427](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6427)) — `validateResponseQuality()` (`open-sse/services/combo/validateQuality.ts`) only inspected the response body's top-level `error` field when `choices` was ALSO missing/empty (the narrower #3424 empty-completion case); a masked 200 that echoed a non-empty stub `choices` alongside a structured error object, or a known exhaustion phrase (e.g. "insufficient credits", "quota exceeded") in the error envelope, slipped through as "valid" and the combo kept returning the dead target's response forever instead of failing over. The quality check now inspects the error envelope — a top-level OpenAI-shape `error` object, or a bounded, case-insensitive exhaustion-phrase match against `error.message`/`error.code`/`error.type`/top-level `message`/`detail` — unconditionally, before any shape-specific branch, and regardless of whether `choices`/`output` also look structurally present. The check never inspects `choices[].message.content`, so a legitimate completion that merely mentions "quota" or "credits" in assistant prose is not misclassified. Regression guard: `tests/unit/masked-200-exhaustion-fallback-6427.test.ts`.
+- **fix(security):** fail-closed CORS for the cookie/session-authed cloud-agent management routes — `getCloudAgentCorsHeaders()` reflected any caller's `Origin` and paired it with `Allow-Credentials: true` (a CSRF/exfil hole); it now defers to the central allowlist (`resolveAllowedOrigin`), echoes only an allowlisted origin with `Vary: Origin`, and emits `Allow-Credentials` only for an explicitly allowlisted origin — never for a `CORS_ALLOW_ALL` wildcard echo. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloud-agent-cors-failclosed.test.ts`. ([#6543](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6543)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(compression):** adaptive-compression ladder ranked 6 real catalog engines (`ccr`, `ionizer`, `relevance`, `llmlingua`, `llm`, `read-lifecycle`) as if they didn't exist ([#6533](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6533)) — `ladder.ts`'s `AGGRESSIVENESS` and `REDUCTION_FACTOR` maps only covered the 7 engines wired into `DEFAULT_LADDER` (session-dedup/rtk/headroom/lite/caveman/aggressive/ultra); every other engine registered in `open-sse/services/compression/engines/index.ts` — including `ccr`/`llmlingua`, which the ladder doc comment already says are intentionally addable via `ladderOverride` — fell through to `aggressivenessOf()`'s `?? 0` default (same rank as `"off"`) and `expectedReductionFactor()`'s generic `?? 0.9` fallback, so `floor`-mode escalation could not rank or escalate past them once added to a custom ladder. Both maps now carry entries for all 6 missing real engines, rescaled ×10 (`off:0` … `ultra:70`) and placed by each engine's documented `stackPriority` (`ionizer` between `rtk`/`headroom`, `relevance` before `caveman`, `llmlingua`/`llm` between `aggressive` and `ultra`, etc.); `mcpAccessibility` — named in the report — is not a registered `CompressionEngine` (it's a separate MCP tool-response truncation mechanism) and was correctly left out. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ladder-engine-maps-6533.test.ts` (asserts every id from `listCompressionEngines()` ranks above `"off"` with a non-default reduction factor). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** tool-call arguments could render as `[object Object]` sequences instead of the real JSON through the `/anthropic` (Anthropic-shape `/messages`) routing path ([#6459](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6459)) — `appendToolCallArgumentDelta()` (`open-sse/utils/toolCallArguments.ts`), the shared accumulator the streaming `openai-to-claude` response translator, `openai-responses` translator, and `responsesTransformer` all call to build up a tool call's `arguments`/`input_json_delta` buffer, treated any non-string `incoming` fragment as an empty string. Some upstreams deliver the full `tool_calls[].function.arguments` value as an already-parsed JSON object/array instead of the OpenAI-contracted JSON-encoded string; the old code silently discarded that fragment, leaving `tool_use.input` empty, and left downstream buffers open to a plain string coercion of the object (`[object Object]`) once client-side concatenation kicked in. `appendToolCallArgumentDelta()` now `JSON.stringify()`s a non-string, non-null object/array fragment into a valid JSON fragment instead of dropping it, so the assembled `partial_json` always parses back into the original structured value. Regression guard: `tests/unit/anthropic-toolcall-args-6459.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(providers):** `fusion` combo returned the opaque `"All fusion panel models failed"` 503 even when only a minority of panel members were actually cooling down / rate-limited, and a user-supplied `fusionTuning.minPanel=1` was silently overridden ([#6454](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6454)) — `handleFusionChat()` hard-clamped the quorum floor via `Math.min(Math.max(2, cfg.minPanel), panel.length)`, so an operator-configured `minPanel=1` never took effect: `collectPanel()`'s straggler-grace timer only starts once `ok >= minPanel`, and with the floor forced to 2 a single fast success plus N slow-failing stragglers never reached quorum, so the panel sat waiting instead of degrading to the survivor. Per-member failure reasons (`straggler_dropped`/`timeout`/`threw`/`status_XXX`/`empty_content`/`unparseable`) were also logged server-side but never surfaced in the 503 body, leaving operators unable to tell a rate-limit fan-fail from a broader outage. Fixed by honoring `Math.max(1, cfg.minPanel)` and threading a `failures: Array<{ model, reason }>` collector into the 503 message (`model=reason` per entry) — production fix already merged via #6521; this entry backfills the missing CHANGELOG bullet and adds an 11-member, `fusion-free`-scale regression test matching the original repro shape (a cooling minority must not sink a healthy majority; a genuinely all-failed panel still returns the documented 503). Regression guard: `tests/unit/services/fusion-min-panel-and-failure-detail.test.ts` + `tests/unit/fusion-partial-panel-failure-6454.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(providers):** `fusion` combo strategy silently returned a panel member's raw answer instead of the configured `config.judgeModel` synthesis ([#6455](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6455)) — `handleFusionChat()`'s single-survivor "degrade gracefully" path (added for #6454) returned the lone panel answer directly whenever only one panelist succeeded, regardless of whether an explicit `judgeModel` was configured; with the default `minPanel: 2` and a 2-model panel, any single flaky/rate-limited panelist forced this path on every request, so the configured judge (e.g. `auto/claude-opus`) was never invoked and the client-visible `.model` reflected whichever panelist happened to survive. The judge is now still invoked to synthesize a lone surviving answer whenever `judgeModel` is explicitly configured; the cheap direct-answer shortcut is kept only for the implicit case (no `judgeModel` set, where the "judge" is just `panel[0]`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/fusion-judge-model-6455.test.ts` + updated `tests/unit/combo-fusion-strategy.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(combo):** sanitized diagnostic trace on an auto-combo terminal failure — instead of an opaque 503, a terminal combo failure now returns a whitelist-projected trace (candidate pool size, attempted count, excluded provider/reason codes, attempt order, and a terminal-reason code) via the new `errorResponseWithComboDiagnostics()`/`sanitizeComboDiagnostics()` in `open-sse/utils/error.ts` — provider/model ids and enumerated reason codes only, never keys/tokens/bodies, length- and count-capped. A reasoning-budget-exhausted panel now returns an actionable "increase max_tokens" message rather than a blind retry-limit 503. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-diagnostics-trace.test.ts`. ([#6545](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6545)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** image/diffusion models discovered from an upstream catalog (e.g. HuggingFace's live `/v1/models`) are no longer advertised as chat models ([#6457](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6457)) — the chat catalog builder defaulted synced models with no modality info to `endpoints: ["chat"]`, so `huggingface/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0` showed up in the chat `/v1/models` listing and returned `400 "not a chat model"` when called. `catalog.ts` now skips any synced model already registered as an image model for that provider (via the new `isRegisteredImageModel()`), leaving `getAllImageModels()` to list it with the correct `type: "image"`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/image-model-not-in-chat-catalog-6457.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** combo session stickiness never released a pin on a credits-exhausted/banned/expired account, permanently defeating failover for that conversation ([#6692](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6692)) — `applySessionStickiness()` (`open-sse/services/combo/sessionStickiness.ts`) gated the sticky pin only on 5h/weekly usage-percentage headroom, which is orthogonal to account availability: a `credits_exhausted`/`banned`/`expired` connection, or one still inside its `rateLimitedUntil` cooldown, reports perfectly healthy headroom, so the pin was force-promoted back to the front of the target list on every subsequent turn. `clearStickyBinding()` also had zero call sites in `combo.ts`'s failure paths, so a quality-validation-rejected 200 (a masked daily-cap refusal) never released the pin either. The gate now also resolves the bound connection's terminal status/cooldown via a new injectable fetcher seam (fail-open on lookup errors, mirroring the existing saturation fetcher), and `combo.ts`'s two dispatchers (`handleComboChat`/`handleRoundRobinCombo`) release the pin immediately at both their connection-exhaustion classification point and their quality-validation-failure branch via the new `releaseStickyPinOnFailure()`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6692-sticky-terminal.test.ts` + extended `tests/unit/combo-session-stickiness.test.ts`.
+- **fix(test):** replace the bare `expect(true).toBe(true)` tautology in `playground-api-tab.test.tsx`'s SSE test and close the `check:test-masking` gap that let it slip through for a full cycle ([#6404](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6404)) — a prior pass (#6548) had already swapped the literal to `expect(sendBtn).toBeDefined()`, but that stayed just as vacuous: the test's fetch mock returned an empty `/v1/models` list, so `ApiTab`'s Send button is always `disabled` (`!selectedModel`) and the SSE branch never runs — the "SSE infra is verified" comment was never true. The test now mocks a real model, drives the model `<select>` to enable Send, asserts `sendBtn.disabled === false` before clicking, and asserts the streamed SSE delta (`"Hello!"`) actually reached the response editor. Root cause on the detector side: `check-test-masking.mjs`'s tautology subcheck only compares base-vs-HEAD counts within a PR's own diff (`headExtTaut > baseExtTaut`) and no-ops locally when `GITHUB_BASE_SHA`/`GITHUB_BASE_REF` are unset ("sem base ref — pulando") — so a tautology merged once, or checked with a bare local run, was invisible forever after. Added a new always-on, PR-independent absolute-floor scan (`scanBareTautologies` + `countBareTautologies`) over every git-tracked test file for the bare `expect(true).toBe(true)` / `assert.equal(1,1)` / `assert.strictEqual(1,1)` patterns specifically (deliberately excluding `assert.ok(true)`, which has ~15 pre-existing verified-legitimate try/catch-fallback uses repo-wide and stays governed by the lenient diff-only subcheck) — verified zero pre-existing hits repo-wide once this file was fixed, so the new floor is safe to enforce unconditionally. Regression guard: `tests/unit/check-test-masking.test.ts` (new `scanBareTautologies`/`countBareTautologies` cases) + `tests/unit/ui/playground-api-tab.test.tsx`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(oauth):** Codex/ChatGPT (and every other OAuth provider) connection stays stuck showing "Auth Failed" even after a genuinely successful token refresh ([#6352](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6352)) — `updateProviderCredentials()` (the shared `onPersist` callback for the manual "Refresh token" route, the reactive per-request refresh in `chat.ts`, and the Codex/Claude auth-file importers) correctly reused the stored `refresh_token`, persisted the new `access_token`, and replaced a rotated `refresh_token`, but never cleared the stale `testStatus`/`lastError*`/`errorCode` fields left over from a prior expired/invalid refresh or upstream 401/403 — only the separate background health-check sweep did that clearing. A successful refresh now resets `testStatus` to `"active"` and clears `lastError`, `lastErrorAt`, `lastErrorType`, `lastErrorSource`, and `errorCode` (an explicit `testStatus` from the caller still wins). Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-oauth-refresh-persist-6352.test.ts`.
+- **perf(health):** short-TTL (1s) cache for the frequently-polled `GET /api/monitoring/health` payload — rebuilding it every request (DB reads + status aggregation across 8 subsystems) was wasteful under rapid polling; the cache stays near-real-time and is invalidated immediately on `DELETE` (circuit-breaker reset) so a manual reset is reflected at once. Regression guard: `tests/integration/monitoring-health-cache.test.ts`. ([#6553](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6553)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(resilience):** `headroom` combo routing did not always select the Codex account with the most free quota ([#6379](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6379)) — `orderTargetsByHeadroom` (`open-sse/services/combo/quotaStrategies.ts`) already loaded the per-connection DB snapshot (with decrypted credentials) via `expandTargetsByQuotaAwareConnections`, but discarded it before calling `getSaturation`; for Codex, `fetchCodexSaturation` forwards straight to `fetchCodexQuota(connectionId, connection)`, which needs `connection` (or a prior `registerCodexConnection()` call, which never happens before headroom ranking runs) to read `accessToken` — so it returned `null` for every candidate, saturation failed open to `0` across the board, and ranking fell back to the original combo order regardless of actual free quota. `getSaturation()` and the headroom `SaturationFetcher` seam now accept and thread the loaded connection snapshot through to `fetchCodexQuota`. Kilo's dup flag vs #5903 was a false positive — that issue is about session-sticky reset-aware/least-used selection, not headroom's Codex saturation lookup. Regression guard: `tests/unit/headroom-codex-quota-snapshot-6379.test.ts`. (thanks @eidoog)
+- **fix(providers):** custom models a provider actually has are no longer dropped from the Free Provider Rankings when both **"Configured only"** and **"Available only"** filters are applied ([#6368](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6368)), follow-up to #6150 — `freeProviderRankings.ts::getProviderModels()` only ever walked the static `open-sse/config/providerRegistry.ts` catalog, so a user-added custom model (e.g. a Puter `claude-fable-5` model saved as "Claude Fable 5") never entered the candidate model list the ranking scores against, and could never survive the #6150 configured/available filters even when actually configured and available. It now additively merges the provider's custom models (`db/models.ts::getCustomModels`) into that candidate list via a new pure, de-duping `mergeProviderModels()` helper, before scoring/filtering runs — catalog free/paid filtering elsewhere is untouched. Regression guard: `tests/unit/free-provider-rankings-custom-models-6368.test.ts`. (thanks @shabeer)
+- **fix(playground):** accept a valid dashboard session for `GET/POST /api/playground/presets` under `REQUIRE_API_KEY=true` — the Playground page calls this route with a cookie/session and no API key, which previously 401'd the authenticated dashboard; `checkAuth()` now accepts a management/dashboard session (`requireManagementAuth`) as an alternative to an API key, while a presented API key must still be valid and the anonymous-allowed default is preserved. Regression guard: `tests/integration/presets-dashboard-auth.test.ts`. ([#6554](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6554)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** `cloudflare-ai` no longer silently drops image/non-text content parts ([#6390](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6390)) — `transformRequest()`'s `flattenContent()` (added for #2539 to satisfy the Workers AI `/ai/v1/chat/completions` plain-string `content` requirement) mapped any non-text OpenAI content part (e.g. `image_url`) to `""` and joined the rest, so a request carrying an image quietly went out as text-only with the attachment gone and no error surfaced. It now throws a clear error on the first non-text part instead of dropping it silently, which the existing top-level `chatCore.ts` catch already routes through `buildErrorBody()`/`sanitizeErrorMessage()` (same pattern as `buildUrl()`'s missing-Account-ID error). Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloudflare-ai-image-parts-6390.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** stop Antigravity connections from falsely reporting **all-accounts quota-exhausted** ([#6295](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6295)) — `genericQuotaFetcher.ts::percentUsedForQuota()` ignored the `fractionReported` flag and defaulted an unreported model's `remainingPercentage` to 0, which computed as 100% used; since `convertUsageToQuotaInfo()` takes the worst-case window across a connection, a single model with no reported fraction dragged the whole account into `limitReached` and `quotaPreflight` skipped it. `percentUsedForQuota()` now returns `null` (unknown, window ignored) whenever `fractionReported === false`, before falling back to `remainingPercentage`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/generic-quota-fetcher.test.ts`.
+- **fix(fusion):** the fusion judge no longer replays a panel member's answer via an idempotency-key collision — fusion's panel + judge sub-requests re-enter `chatCore` sharing the client's headers, so they derived the same `Idempotency-Key`/`x-request-id` and a panel answer saved under the key was replayed by the judge's check ~1ms later (inside the 5s window), returning a panel member's answer instead of the judge synthesis (observed live on `nexa/conversation-fusion`). `composeIdempotencyKey()` now namespaces the key by target provider/model + a digest of the request messages, so sub-requests can't collide while a genuine client retry (same key/model/body) still replays. Regression guard: `tests/unit/idempotency-fusion-collision.test.ts`. ([#6558](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6558)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** grok-cli (Grok Build) now strips `reasoning_effort`/`reasoning` before forwarding the request ([#6288](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6288)) — Claude Code sends `reasoning_effort` on every request (routing the Opus slot), which Grok Build's upstream chat-proxy endpoint rejects with a 400; `transformRequest()`'s existing `UNSUPPORTED` sampling-param strip list (#5273) never covered it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/grok-cli-reasoning-strip-6288.test.ts`.
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute serve` no longer hangs silently on a readiness timeout ([#6321](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6321)) — the child server's stdout was piped to `"ignore"` whenever `--log`/`OMNIROUTE_SHOW_LOG` wasn't set (the default), discarding any debug output, and `runWithSupervisor`'s `waitForServer(...).then((up) => { if (up) {...} })` had no `else` branch, so a boot that never became ready produced zero further output after "⏳ Starting server...". Stdout is now buffered alongside stderr (`ServerSupervisor.getRecentLog()`), and a timeout prints a clear diagnostic plus the buffered output instead of staying silent. Does not by itself explain why boot never completes on a given machine — see the issue for further reproduction. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli-serve-readiness-timeout-6321.test.ts`.
+- **fix(pricing):** Pricing Sync dashboard no longer stuck on "Next Sync: Never" / "Synced Models: 0" ([#6325](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6325)) — `pricingSync.ts` kept sync state (`lastSyncTime`, `lastSyncModelCount`) in module-level vars, but the background periodic sync (`instrumentation-node.ts`) and the dashboard status route (`/api/pricing/sync`) each import the module from separate Next.js standalone webpack chunks, giving each its own independent state; `getSyncStatus()` read the (empty) API-route instance's vars. Sync status is now additionally persisted to a new `pricing_sync_status` `key_value` namespace and `getSyncStatus()` falls back to it when the local module instance never ran a sync itself. Regression guard: `tests/unit/pricing-sync-cross-instance.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** stop spuriously 403-ing "Invalid request origin" on `POST /api/providers/health-autopilot/actions` for Docker/LAN dashboard requests ([#6277](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6277)) — the route carried a duplicate per-route `validateBrowserMutationOrigin` check re-added by the v3.8.42 release squash after PR #5278 centralized origin enforcement in the authz pipeline; the pipeline strips `PEER_IP_HEADER` before forwarding, so the stale duplicate check could no longer resolve the LAN "direct-local-host" candidate and rejected legitimate same-origin LAN mutations (e.g. clicking "remove cooldown" when accessed via a LAN IP). Removed the duplicate check — origin validation is now solely enforced by the centralized pipeline check, which already handles this case correctly. Regression guard: `tests/unit/serial/provider-health-autopilot.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** a bare, unrecognized `403` from a no-credential (`authType:"none"`) provider like mimocode or theoldllm no longer permanently bans the connection ([#6315](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6315), [#6345](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6345)) — `classifyProviderError()`'s 403 branch only exempted `apikey` providers from the terminal `FORBIDDEN` classification, so these free/stateless proxies (no real account/credential to revoke) fell through to `FORBIDDEN` on the first unmatched 403 and got `isActive:false, testStatus:"banned"` with no cooldown or retry. The exemption now also covers `authType:"none"` providers, returning `null` (recoverable) so the existing connection-cooldown/retry layer handles it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/errorClassifier-noauth-403-6315.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** the **Auggie (Augment CLI)** executor no longer fails on Windows with `spawn EINVAL` ([#6304](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6304)) — the global-npm install exposes `auggie` as a `.cmd` shim, which Node's `child_process.spawn` cannot launch on win32 without `shell: true`. Both spawn sites (streaming + the `auggie --version` test) now go through a shared `buildAuggieSpawnOptions()` that sets `shell: process.platform === "win32"`; the argv (built by `buildAuggieArgs()` with a registry-validated `model` and a trailing `--` end-of-options marker) is unchanged, so the argument-injection surface stays closed on non-Windows. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auggie-win32-spawn-6304.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** the dashboard **"Test model"** action is now a clean connection test ([#6240](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6240)) — `modelTestRunner` sent its probe request without an explicit compression override, so whenever the operator's global `compression.enabled` flag was on the test call inherited compression (and any Output-Styles system prompt), polluting the result. The internal test requests now send `X-OmniRoute-Compression: off`, and `chatCore` honors an explicit `off` header even when `compression.enabled` is globally true. Regression guards: `tests/unit/model-test-runner-compression-off-6240.test.ts`, `tests/integration/test-model-compression-off-6240.test.ts`.
+- **fix(startup):** an update/restart could crash the whole server at boot with `TypeError: Cannot create property 'message' on string 'Database closed'`, masking the real failure and 500-ing every request until manually restarted ([#6560](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6560), plausibly the root cause of #6594's post-upgrade 500) — `driverFactory.ts::preInitSqlJs()` cached its sql.js WASM adapter per file path in a `globalThis`-backed map for idempotency, but never checked whether the cached adapter had since been closed (e.g. by `gracefulShutdown`/`resetDbInstance` racing a reload); reusing that dead handle made the very next query throw sql.js's own bare string `"Database closed"` (not an `Error`) straight out of `instrumentation-node.ts`'s previously-unguarded `ensureDbInitialized()` call, and Next.js's internal `registerInstrumentation()` wrapper unconditionally does `err.message = ...` on whatever `register()` rejects with — assigning `.message` on a primitive string throws in strict mode, so the secondary `TypeError` is what actually crashed the process. Fixed in two parts: `preInitSqlJs()` now evicts a closed cached adapter and creates a fresh one instead of returning it; a new `ensureDbReadyForBoot()` wraps the DB-init call, normalizes any non-Error throw via `normalizeBootError()`, and retries once specifically for a transient "database closed" message (now succeeding against the fresh adapter) before re-throwing anything else as a real `Error`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/instrumentation-database-closed-6560.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/keys` no longer hangs 20–90+ seconds on a fresh install, even with valid auth ([#6570](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6570)) — `cloudEnabled` defaults to `true` in `src/lib/db/settings.ts::getSettings()` on any install with no persisted settings row (i.e. every fresh install), so the create-key handler's unconditional `await syncKeysToCloudIfEnabled()` always attempted a real outbound `fetch()` to `CLOUD_URL` via `syncToCloud()`; when that endpoint is unset/unreachable/slow, the HTTP response blocked until the request settled or timed out — unlike sibling routes (`POST /api/keys/:id/regenerate`, `GET /api/combos`), which never touch this side effect at all. `src/app/api/keys/route.ts` now dispatches `syncKeysToCloudIfEnabled()` fire-and-forget (`void`) instead of awaiting it; its internal try/catch already logs failures, so cloud sync still runs, it just no longer blocks the response. Regression guard: `tests/unit/api-keys-create-no-hang-6570.test.ts` (asserts the route resolves in well under 2s even when the Cloud-sync `fetch()` is stubbed to never settle) + updated `tests/integration/api-keys.test.ts` (the pre-existing "triggers cloud sync"/"still succeeds when cloud sync fails" tests, which previously hung indefinitely on this exact path, now await the fire-and-forget sync tick before asserting).
+- **fix(api):** editing any existing OpenAI Codex provider connection in the dashboard returned "Invalid request" and the edit could never be saved ([#6562](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6562)) — `createProviderConnection()` (`src/lib/db/providers.ts`) auto-increments a new connection's `priority` to `MAX(priority)+1` per provider with no upper bound, and OAuth-imported connections (Codex `codex-auth/import` / `import-bulk`, up to 50 accounts per call, callable repeatedly — the standard Codex bulk-account-rotation workflow) never pass through `createProviderSchema`'s Zod validation at all, so nothing ever capped that value; `EditConnectionModal`'s `handleSubmit` always resends the connection's current `priority` unchanged on every save, and `updateProviderConnectionSchema` capped `priority`/`globalPriority` at `max(100)` — a UI-only ceiling the create path never enforced — so the first edit of any connection whose priority had already grown past 100 (routine once a Codex account count exceeds 100) failed validation regardless of which field the user actually changed. Raised the ceiling to `max(100_000)` on both fields — still bounded (a genuinely out-of-range value is still rejected), just wide enough to accept priorities the app itself already produces. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-connection-edit-6562.test.ts` (a Codex OAuth connection whose priority already exceeds the old 100 cap now validates + persists on edit; a control payload with a still-genuinely-invalid priority is still rejected with "Invalid request").
+- **mimocode**: rotate accounts on MiMoCode's rate-limit-style 400s (body-classified) instead of failing on the first account; malformed 400s still fail fast with the real upstream error (#6648 — thanks @pizzav-xyz)
+- **fix(cli):** compression CLI REST fallback now reads/writes the canonical `defaultMode` field (surfaced as `strategy`) instead of a nonexistent `engine` key, and table output renders nested objects as JSON instead of `[object Object]` (#6571 — thanks @charleszolot)
+- **fix(providers):** web-cookie providers without a `providerRegistry.ts` entry (`lmarena`, `gemini-business`, `poe-web`, `venice-web`, `v0-vercel-web`) now report `unsupported: true` instead of silently "OK" ([#6309](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6309)) — `validateWebCookieProvider()` (`src/lib/providers/validation.ts`) previously required a registry entry and returned "Provider not found in registry" for these; a fallback to `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS[provider].website` was proposed, but live verification showed the `${website}/models` probe does not reliably signal session validity for these providers (redirects/SPA 200s regardless of cookie validity — e.g. lmarena's real API is `arena.ai`, not `lmarena.ai`; Poe's real endpoint is a GraphQL POST, not a REST `/models`), so it would report an expired or garbage cookie as valid. Until each provider has a verified, side-effect-free auth probe against its real API host, the fallback now returns `unsupported` (no network call) instead of a false positive. Regression guard: `tests/unit/web-cookie-validation-fallback.test.ts`. (thanks @oyi77)
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/middleware/hooks` and `PUT /api/middleware/hooks/[name]` no longer leak raw internal error messages in their 500 responses (#6645 — thanks @chirag127) — both catch blocks returned `error?.message` directly (Hard Rule #12), which could surface internal SQLite path fragments on a DB failure; both now route through `sanitizeErrorMessage()` from `open-sse/utils/error.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/middleware-hooks-error-sanitization.test.ts`.
+- **fix(docker):** compile better-sqlite3 for the server Docker image (Dokploy/self-hosted builds) via a direct `node-gyp rebuild` inside `node_modules/better-sqlite3`, instead of `npm rebuild better-sqlite3` ([#6700](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6700)) — the `builder` stage installs dependencies with `npm ci --ignore-scripts` (deliberate: closes the supply-chain surface where a transitive dep's install script runs arbitrary code) and re-enables the native build for the one package that needs it; `npm rebuild <pkg>` re-runs that indirectly through the package's own install script, which under npm 11 depends on npm's script-allowlist machinery correctly re-enabling it — some self-hosted build environments (e.g. Dokploy) hit a broken/mismatched native binding through that indirection. Invoking `node-gyp rebuild` directly bypasses npm's script-running layer entirely and is deterministic regardless of npm version. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dockerfile-better-sqlite3-node-gyp-6700.test.ts`. (thanks @nowhats-br)
+- **fix(providers):** the Cloudflare relay Worker deploy fix in #6416/#6618 still failed uploads in practice — it changed the multipart Content-Type but kept the emitted worker source as an ES module (`export default { fetch(...) }`) with `main_module` metadata; Cloudflare's Workers upload API parses a plain `application/javascript` script part as Service Worker syntax regardless of the `main_module` metadata field, and `main_module` requires the script to actually be an ES module (top-level `export`), so the mismatch still rejected the upload ([#6496](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6496)). `buildCloudflareWorkerScript()` (`src/lib/proxyRelay/cloudflareWorkerScript.ts`) now emits Service Worker syntax (`addEventListener("fetch", ...)`, no top-level `export`) and the upload metadata uses `body_part` instead of `main_module`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/relay-deploy-5128.test.ts` (asserts the emitted script has no `export default`, registers a `fetch` listener, and the upload metadata carries `body_part`/omits `main_module`; also proves the inlined `isPrivateHostname()` SSRF guard still rejects bracketed IPv6 loopback/ULA hosts like `[::1]`/`[fd00::1]` after the script-body rewrite). (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **fix(providers):** ChatGPT Web (`chatgpt-web`) responses rendered raw ChatGPT UI citation markup — private-use marker tokens (e.g. `citeturn0search0`) and `url…` inline-link markers — instead of real Markdown links, since these only ever get resolved client-side by chatgpt.com's own JS using `message.metadata.content_references` ([#6635](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6635)) — `cleanChatGptText()` now resolves `content_references` (grouped webpages, footnote sources, inline `webpage`/`url` mentions) into `[label](url)` Markdown links for both the streaming and non-streaming response builders, and for the GPT-5.5 Pro `stream_handoff` polled-answer path, falling back to stripping any marker that has no resolvable source instead of leaking the raw private-use bytes. The citation parsing/rendering logic was extracted into a new pure sibling module (`open-sse/executors/chatgpt-web/citations.ts`) to keep the executor under the frozen file-size cap. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chatgpt-web-citations.test.ts` (non-streaming citation resolution, streaming marker buffering across split SSE chunks, and the Pro-handoff polled-answer path). (thanks @Thinkscape)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the live-dashboard WebSocket descriptor handshake (`GET /api/v1/ws?handshake=1`) and the lightweight `GET /api/health/ping` liveness probe both 401'd for unauthenticated callers, even though both are metadata-only reads intended to be public ([#6335](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6335)) — `clientApiPolicy` required a bearer/dashboard-session before the WS route handler could even return its own `wsAuth`/protocol descriptor, and `/api/health/ping` was never added to `PUBLIC_READONLY_API_ROUTE_PREFIXES` despite its own docstring documenting it as "No auth required." `clientApiPolicy.evaluate()` now allows an anonymous `{kind:"anonymous", id:"ws-handshake"}` subject for GET/HEAD/OPTIONS on `/api/v1/ws?handshake=1` (the route handler still performs its own real wsAuth/dashboard/API-key decision before opening the socket), and `/api/health/ping` is now in `PUBLIC_READONLY_API_ROUTE_PREFIXES`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/authz/client-api-policy.test.ts` (WS handshake allowed, including relative request URLs), `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`, and `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts` (`/api/health/ping` classified `PUBLIC`). (thanks @JxnLexn)
+- fix(providers): wire the Devin cloud-agent provider into the generic provider-page validator and static model catalog, matching the existing `jules` cloud-agent pattern (#6142)
+- fix(providers): honor a provider-level proxy assigned to no-auth providers like MiMoCode Free (#6272)
+- fix(api): merge tool_call continuation deltas that carry only `id` (no `index`) so tool-call arguments are no longer split/lost in request/response logs (#6276)
+- **fix(providers):** modernize the `lmarena` provider for the Arena.ai rebrand — route chat through `arena.ai` create-evaluation with Chrome TLS impersonation, seed a static Direct-chat Text/Search + Image catalog, and keep the `lmarena`/`lma` wire id for back-compat ([#6280](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6280)) — thanks @backryun
+- **fix(providers):** web-provider model discovery updated — qwen-web uses the slash-terminated models endpoint (avoiding a blocked 307 redirect), and kimi-web matches the current request shape (POST with bearer + `kimi-auth` cookie replay) with its catalog refreshed to the current non-agent models (#6308 — thanks @janeza2).
+- **fix(logs):** the request-log detail modal no longer reopens by itself after being closed — a stale in-flight detail refresh resolved after close and re-triggered the modal open state (#6323 — thanks @xz-dev).
+- **fix(providers):** update SenseNova Token Plan support — register the token-plan model ids/constants and adjust the SenseNova registry so token-plan accounts route correctly (#6330 — thanks @xz-dev).
+- fix(providers): give v0-vercel-web its own alias so its credentials are detected (#6343)
+- fix(providers): route AgentRouter key validation through the CC wire image so a valid key no longer 403s as "Invalid API key" (#6377)
+- fix(db): stop legacy log-archive migration from deleting the live app-logger directory and crashing startup on a stat/stream race (#6401, #6799)
+- fix(docs): document Turbopack build memory tradeoff and `OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=0` webpack fallback for RAM-constrained machines (#6409)
+- fix(compression): surface silently-dropped stacked-pipeline steps (session-dedup, ccr) and stop the aggregate inflation guard from misfiring on a genuine no-op (#6479, #6480, #6491)
+- fix(providers): honor the `max_token` capability override in the reasoning-token-buffer output cap (#6524)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the onboarding tier-flow diagram rendered broken — its SVGs lived in the repo-root `images/` (not a served path); moved to `public/images/` so Next.js serves them (#6538 — thanks @ianriizky).
+- **fix(routing):** the `auto` combo's no-auth candidate pool now honors a disabled provider connection's own `isActive=false` (the toggle on the main Providers grid card), not just the separate global `blockedProviders` setting — disabling opencode/mimocode/etc. via the grid toggle no longer leaves it in rotation ([#6557](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6557)).
+- **fix(sse):** server-tool literal names (e.g. `web_search`) are preserved in message history and `tool_choice` instead of being namespaced/rewritten, so follow-up turns referencing those tools keep working (#6586 — thanks @MikeTuev).
+- fix(api): recognize OpenRouter reasoning/reasoning_details in non-streaming OpenAI-to-Claude conversion (#6623)
+- fix(db): share one in-flight sql.js load across concurrent `preInitSqlJs()` callers to stop the boot-time thundering-herd re-decode of the whole database file (#6628)
+- fix(db): unwrap lone named-parameter objects before `sql.js` `stmt.bind()` so `@`/`:`/`$`-style named placeholders bind correctly instead of throwing "Wrong API use" (#6802)
+- **fix(db): break probe-failed/restore loop on large storage.sqlite** (#6632 — thanks @KooshaPari).
+- fix(ci): exclude check-test-masking.test.ts's own tautology fixtures from the diff-based test-masking gate and recognize `✗` in validate-release-green's failure-line detector (#6634)
+- fix(routing): recognize Kimi-style "exceeded model token limit" 400 as context overflow so combo fallback continues to the next target (#6637)
+- **fix(cli):** Claude Code installed via WinGet is now detected on Windows (the WinGet install path was missing from the binary lookup) (#6647 — thanks @enjoyer-hub).
+- **fix(providers):** removed obsolete/defunct providers from the catalog (glhf, kluster, cablyai, inclusionai) (#6675 — thanks @backryun).
+- **fix(sse):** requests rejected before `handleChatCore` (circuit-breaker/cooldown gate or combo with all targets exhausted) are now recorded in `usage_history` too, so a key whose traffic was entirely gate-rejected no longer shows "zero requests" in the per-API-key usage counter (#6698).
+- **fix(sse):** unwrap bare `{function:{…}}` tools so OpenAI-shape clients no longer have tools silently dropped in Claude translation. (thanks @samir-abis)
+- **fix(oauth):** stop merging distinct Codex OAuth logins that share an email but lack a verifiable account id, preventing silent token overwrite. (thanks @lucasjustinudin)
+- **fix(codex):** detect "model at capacity"/overloaded errors embedded in a 200-OK SSE stream and surface them as a real error so account fallback rotates, instead of passing them through as a successful response. (thanks @ryanngit)
+- **fix(volcengine):** clamp `max_tokens` to the VolcEngine Ark endpoint cap for the Kimi model so oversized values no longer 400. (thanks @whale9820)
+- **fix(antigravity):** surface aborted/malformed Gemini tool calls (e.g. `MALFORMED_FUNCTION_CALL`) as an explicit non-`end_turn` finish reason instead of a silent clean completion. (thanks @anhdiepmmk)
+- **fix(routing):** the reasoning-token headroom buffer clamps to the model's explicit output cap instead of inflating past it, and `getExplicitModelOutputCap` falls through to the registry/spec cap when a synced capability row exists without a numeric `limit_output` ([#6714](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6714)) — thanks @xz-dev
+- **fix(api):** `omniroute health` (and `health components`/`health watch`) returned `Error: HTTP 404` ([#6677](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6677)) — `bin/cli/commands/health.mjs` called `apiFetch("/api/health", ...)`, a route that was moved to `GET /api/monitoring/health` (`src/app/api/monitoring/health/route.ts`) without updating the CLI; `src/app/api/health/` on disk only has `degradation/route.ts` and `ping/route.ts`, no top-level handler. `runHealthCommand()`/`runHealthComponentsCommand()` now call `/api/monitoring/health` and read its actual payload shape (`activeConnections`, `circuitBreakers: {open, halfOpen, closed}`, `memoryUsage`) instead of the old, nonexistent `requests`/`breakers`/`cache`/`memory` fields. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli-health-monitoring-route.test.ts`.
+- **fix(startup):** webpack build broke on case-insensitive filesystems (macOS APFS default, Windows) with a casing-collision warning plus "not exported" errors in `StudioConfigPane.tsx`/`ChatTab.tsx` (#6584) — `src/app/(dashboard)/dashboard/playground/components/ReasoningControls.tsx` (the component) and `reasoningControls.ts` (the utils module) shared the same lower-cased stem in the same directory, and two importers used the extensionless form `from "./reasoningControls"`, the exact resolution path that becomes ambiguous once casing is folded. Renamed the utils module to `reasoningControlUtils.ts` (no collision) and updated the 3 import sites. Regression guard: `tests/unit/case-collision-6584.test.ts` (scans `src/`/`open-sse/` for any same-directory, case-only filename collision). (#6584)
+- **fix(build):** Turbopack production build emitted an "Overly broad patterns can lead to build performance issues" warning per entry point importing `src/lib/agentSkills/generator.ts` (603 warnings reported on v3.8.46, up from 379 on v3.8.45) ([#6582](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6582)) — `generator.ts`'s `outputBase` is built as `path.isAbsolute(outputDir) ? outputDir : path.join(process.cwd(), outputDir)`, where `outputDir` is a runtime function parameter, not a compile-time literal, so Turbopack's build-time file-tracing analyzer can't statically narrow the several dynamic `readdirSync`/`rmSync`/`readFileSync`/`writeFileSync` call sites a few lines below and falls back to a project-wide glob; #6366's commit message claimed to "anchor the base path with a literal" but the shipped code never did. Since this fs access is legitimate and bounded (`skills/<id>/SKILL.md`, ~48 known IDs), `next.config.mjs`'s `turbopack.ignoreIssue` (Next.js 16.2+) now suppresses this specific, known-benign diagnostic, mirroring the existing `webpack.ignoreWarnings`/`isNextIntlExtractorDynamicImportWarning` precedent already in the same file for the webpack path. Regression guard: `tests/unit/next-config.test.ts` (asserts the `turbopack.ignoreIssue` rule shape targeting `src/lib/agentSkills/**`).
+- **fix(providers):** Codex Desktop requests to `gpt-5.3-codex-spark` failed with `[400]: Tool 'image_generation' is not supported with gpt-5.3-codex-spark`, even on paid-plan accounts ([#6651](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6651)) — `CodexExecutor.transformRequest` (`open-sse/executors/codex.ts`) only dropped the Codex Desktop-injected `image_generation` hosted tool when `isCodexFreePlan()` matched the account's plan, with no awareness that Spark-scope Codex models reject `image_generation` upstream regardless of plan. `dropImageGeneration` now also drops it when `getCodexModelScope(model) === "spark"` (the existing Spark classifier from `open-sse/config/codexQuotaScopes.ts`), independent of account plan. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-spark-image-generation.test.ts` (thanks @alltomatos for independently catching and fixing it via #6819).
+- **fix(providers):** the provider quota card's weekly/session bars re-sorted by remaining percentage instead of staying in a fixed, deterministic order ([#6687](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6687)) — `QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`'s `sortQuotasByRemaining()` (added in #5977) was applied unconditionally via `useMemo(() => sortQuotasByRemaining(quotas), [quotas])`, undoing the deterministic `CODEX_QUOTA_ORDER`/`GLM_QUOTA_ORDER` window order `quotaParsing.ts`'s `sortCodexOrder()`/`sortGlmOrder()` (added in #6336) already established for Codex and the GLM family — since #6336 never touched `QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`, the two orderings never composed, so e.g. a Codex `session` window with less headroom than `weekly` rendered after it instead of staying first. A new `hasFixedQuotaOrder()` (`quotaParsing.ts`) and `resolveQuotaDisplayOrder()` (`QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`) now skip the remaining-% re-sort for providers with a fixed window order, threading `providerId` from `QuotaCard.tsx` through to the display layer; every other provider still gets the remaining-% sort. Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-card-expanded-fixed-order-6687.test.ts`.
+- **fix(i18n):** pt-BR was missing 194 UI keys present in `en.json` — a real, silent data-sync gap, not covered by any duplicate/mislabeled #6694 (that issue's 9 `providers.*` keys are disjoint, present-but-untranslated sentinels caused by a separate `providerText()` fallback bug) ([#6695](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6695)) — `scripts/i18n/sync-ui-keys.mjs` (which mirrors newly-added `en.json` keys into every locale) wasn't re-run after recent `en.json` additions, and the CI `i18n:check-ui-coverage` gate only fails a locale below an 80% threshold, so pt-BR stayed green at 93.8% coverage despite the gap. Backfilled all 194 missing keys into `src/i18n/messages/pt-BR.json` (translated to Brazilian Portuguese, no leftover `__MISSING__` markers) via `npm run i18n:sync-ui -- --locale=pt-BR` + manual translation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-pt-br.test.ts` (new case asserting full `en.json`→`pt-BR.json` key parity, so a future drift fails a fast unit test instead of silently degrading the coverage percentage).
+- **fix(startup):** `omniroute --mcp` crashed at Node ESM link time with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND` for `ioredis` on installs where the published MCP bundle didn't happen to have `ioredis` rescued from a parent `node_modules` ([#6559](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6559)) — `src/shared/utils/rateLimiter.ts` had a top-level static `import Redis from "ioredis"`; that module is only ever reached via a lazy `await import(...)` several call-sites deep in the MCP tool chain, but esbuild's `--packages=external` bundling of the MCP server (`scripts/build/prepublish.ts` Step 8.5) still hoisted rateLimiter.ts's own static import into a real top-level ESM import in the compiled `dist/open-sse/mcp-server/server.js`, forcing Node to resolve `ioredis` at module-link time — before any `--mcp` startup code runs — and `ioredis` is not guaranteed to ship in the MCP-only bundle's `node_modules`. `getRedisClient()` now lazily imports `ioredis` on first use (matching the established soft-dependency pattern in `src/lib/quota/redisQuotaStore.ts`) while still throwing synchronously when Redis isn't configured. Regression guard: `tests/unit/build/mcp-bundle-no-eager-ioredis.test.ts` (bundles the real MCP server entrypoint with the exact publish-time esbuild flags and asserts no top-level static `ioredis` import remains, while the pre-existing lazy `await import("ioredis")` in `redisQuotaStore.ts` stays intact).
+- **fix(providers):** Kiro sent the adaptive-thinking `additionalModelRequestFields` envelope for `claude-sonnet-4.5`/`claude-haiku-4.5`, which Kiro/CodeWhisperer rejects upstream with a raw `[400]: additionalModelRequestFields is not supported for this model` ([#6576](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6576)) — `buildKiroPayload()` (`open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-kiro.ts`) gated the field on the generic Anthropic-API `supportsReasoning()` capability flag, which is `true` for both models on Anthropic's direct API but does not reflect what Kiro's CodeWhisperer backend actually accepts; only `claude-sonnet-5` is confirmed adaptive-thinking-capable there. A new Kiro-specific allowlist (`supportsKiroAdaptiveThinking()` in `open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-kiro/adaptiveThinking.ts`) now gates the envelope instead. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6576-kiro-thinking-unsupported-model.test.ts`.
+- **fix(translator):** Cursor's local **Subagent** tool call is no longer rejected with `cloud_base_branch may only be specified when environment equals cloud` — the Responses→Chat tool-arg cleanup (`stripEmptyOptionalToolArgs`) was scoped to Claude Code's `Read` tool only, so Cursor's `Subagent` tool passed through with the cloud-only `cloud_base_branch: ""` (Cursor treats an empty string as "specified" and rejects the call before starting the local subagent). The cleanup now covers an allowlist of `Read` + `Subagent`; arbitrary tools are still left untouched (empty strings/arrays can be valid payloads for them). Regression guard: `tests/unit/openai-responses-subagent-strip-2446.test.ts`. (thanks @like3213934360-lab)
+- **fix(translator):** GLM 5.2 (and other OpenAI-compatible upstreams that stream a tool call's `id` and `function.name` in **separate** SSE chunks) no longer produce an empty tool name / `No such tool available:` error through the Claude `/messages` path — the `openai-to-claude` streaming translator emitted `content_block_start` immediately on the id-only chunk with an empty `name`, and the Claude SSE protocol cannot patch a block after it is emitted, so the later name-only chunk was silently dropped. It now **defers** `content_block_start` until the tool name arrives (falling back to starting the block when arguments arrive first), so the emitted `tool_use` always carries the real name. Regression guard: `tests/unit/openai-to-claude-glm-split-tool-name-2077.test.ts`. (thanks @itiwant)
+- **fix(resilience):** OmniRoute didn't respect an exhausted Ollama Cloud (or any other apikey-category provider) quota — it retried the account seconds later instead of waiting out the real reset window ([#6638](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6638)) — `shouldPreserveQuotaSignalsFor429()`/`checkFallbackError()` (`open-sse/services/accountFallback.ts`) only applied body-text quota classification (daily/monthly/weekly quota-exhausted detection) to OAuth-category providers; apikey-category 429s (Ollama Cloud, OpenAI, etc.) always fell through to the generic short rate-limit cooldown regardless of what the error body said, and `parseRetryFromErrorText()` also had no support for day-granularity reset hints ("Your quota will reset in 3 days.") — only Xh/Ym/Zs combos. An explicit quota-exhausted signal in the body (`looksLikeQuotaExhausted()`) now overrides the apikey-category default via the new `shouldPreserveQuotaSignals()` (`open-sse/services/quotaResetParsing.ts`), and `parseDayGranularityResetMs()` parses whole-day reset countdowns so the real multi-day window is honored instead of a few seconds of backoff. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6638-ollama-quota.test.ts` + 2 aligned `tests/unit/account-fallback-service.test.ts` cases that previously asserted the buggy rate_limit_exceeded/undefined-dailyQuotaExhausted behavior for apikey-provider quota text.
+- **fix(resilience):** a combo step "pinned" to one fingerprint account (mimocode/mcode/opencode multi-account providers) never actually resolved to that account, so it couldn't fail over when the pinned account was depleted ([#6696](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6696), relates #6612) — the combo builder UI encodes an account pin as a composite connectionId (`${rowId}|fp|${fingerprint}`, `src/lib/combos/builderOptions.ts`), but `expandTargetsByFingerprints()` (`open-sse/services/combo/fingerprintExpansion.ts`) looked that composite string up directly in `connectionById` (keyed by real DB row ids), got `undefined`, and passed the target through unchanged, still carrying the bogus composite id — so downstream credential resolution could never match it either. `expandTargetsByFingerprints()` now splits the `|fp|` composite id back into the real connection row id + the pinned fingerprint (new `splitFingerprintPin()` helper) before any lookup, resolving the target to the real connectionId (with the pinned fingerprint carried on the new `pinnedFingerprint` field) instead of the inert composite string. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-fingerprint-pin-6696.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** Responses passthrough emitted event-only SSE frames (no `data:` line) for every dropped commentary event, breaking the OpenAI Python SDK's `sse.json()` parser ([#6561](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6561)), follow-up to #6199/#6232 — the commentary-drop `continue;` branches in `open-sse/utils/stream.ts` skipped the `data:` line for a dropped commentary event but never cleared the already-buffered `event:` line for that same frame, so the next blank line flushed the stale `event:` line alone. Both drop sites now call `clearPendingPassthroughEvent()` before `continue`, discarding the buffered prefix along with the dropped payload; the commentary-drop decision itself was extracted into a new `open-sse/utils/responsesCommentaryDrop.ts` so the fix does not grow the frozen `stream.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/responses-commentary-event-frame-6561.test.ts` (realistic `event:\ndata:\n\n` frames — the existing #6199 test only used bare `data:` lines and never exercised this path).
+- **fix(compression):** `/api/compression/preview`'s top-level `originalTokens`/`compressedTokens` diverged from `engineBreakdown[0]`'s counts for the same single-engine run (tiktoken outer counts vs the `JSON.stringify(...).length/4` estimate per engine), worst on small inputs. A new `reconcileSingleEngineTokens()` overwrites the single-engine breakdown entry with the outer, more accurate figures; multi-step pipeline breakdowns are left untouched ([#6488](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6488)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression/preview-outer-engine-token-reconcile-6488.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** account selection could pick an account already out of quota upstream on every credentialed route except `chat`/`codex` ([#6686](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6686)) — `getProviderCredentials()` (`src/sse/services/auth.ts`) only skips a connection when a *local cache* already flags it exhausted (`isQuotaExhaustedForRequest`/`src/domain/quotaCache.ts`); it never itself calls the registered upstream `QuotaFetcher`. Only `getProviderCredentialsWithQuotaPreflight()` performs that live upstream check, and it was wired into exactly 2 call sites (`src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, `src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts`) — every other credentialed route (`rerank`, `images/generations`, `images/edits`, `audio/transcriptions|speech|translations`, `videos/generations`, `music/generations`, `ocr`, `providers/[provider]/embeddings`, `providers/[provider]/images/generations`, `web/fetch`, `moderations`, `search`) called the plain, cache-only selector, so an account whose cache entry was never populated (e.g. its first request landed on one of these routes) could be selected even at 0% quota remaining. Those 14 call sites now go through `getProviderCredentialsWithQuotaPreflight()` instead, matching chat/codex coverage. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6686-quota-preflight-coverage.test.ts` (static check that none of the routes call the plain selector anymore + a behavioral check that the preflight-aware selector blocks a 100%-used account).
+- **fix(api):** `reasoning_content` (extended-thinking text) was silently dropped from `/v1/chat/completions` SSE on the `claude-web` and `v0-vercel-web` executors ([#6662](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6662)) — every chunk builder in both adapters hardcoded `delta: { content: ... }` with no reasoning path, unlike the established pattern already used by `default.ts`/`deepseek-web.ts`/`bedrock.ts` and the real-Anthropic-API `claude-to-openai.ts` translator (`thinking_delta` → `reasoning_content`). `v0-vercel-web.ts` now forwards an upstream `delta.reasoning_content` field (streaming and non-streaming) the same way `deepseek-web.ts` does. `claude-web.ts`'s `buildClaudeStreamingResponse` now maps a `content_block_start`(`type: "thinking"`)/`content_block_delta`(`delta.thinking`) pair onto `delta.reasoning_content`, and `claude-web/payload.ts`'s `transformToClaude()` no longer hardcodes `thinking_mode: "off"` — a new `wantsExtendedThinking()` derives it from the request's `reasoning_effort`/`reasoning.effort`/`thinking.type` signal, so extended thinking can actually be requested. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6662-repro.test.ts` (RED→GREEN for both adapters).
+- **fix(api):** the compression config PUT schema now accepts `enableRenderers` for the RTK engine instead of rejecting the documented option (#6703, #6757 — thanks @alltomatos, with an independent duplicate fix from @chirag127 via #6756).
+- **fix(api):** raised the provider `apiKey` length cap for cookie-based web providers, whose session-cookie credentials legitimately exceed the previous limit (#6715, #6759 — thanks @alltomatos).
+- fix(ci): publish electron-updater `latest*.yml` manifests in electron release assets so auto-update can find them ([#6766](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6766))
+- **fix(i18n): translate hardcoded Portuguese dashboard strings to English (#6761, #6768)** (#6769 — thanks @chirag127).
+- fix(providers): strip redundant node prefix when resolving custom OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible connections by raw connection id, preventing double-namespaced model ids from 400ing upstream (#6772)
+- fix(providers): scope nvidia NIM 404s to the single failing model instead of cooling down the whole connection (#6773)
+- **fix(codex):** bump the default Codex CLI client identity from `0.142.0` to `0.144.0` for compatibility with newer Codex-backed models ([#6780](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6780)) — thanks @quanturbo
+- **fix(ci):** the blocking "Impacted unit tests (TIA)" step false-redded any PR whose impact graph reached a dashboard component — it ran every selected test under `--import tsx/esm`, but `tests/unit/dashboard/**` requires the `--import tsx` CJS transform (ESM-only deep imports like `@lobehub/icons/es/*`), exactly as the canonical `test:unit:ci:shard` already does per segment. The impacted selection is now split by segment with matching loaders (closes #6787).
+- **fix(translator):** read PDF/video `file_data` attachments on the OpenAI→Gemini/Antigravity and OpenAI→Claude paths so multimodal documents (not just images) reach the upstream — PDFs map to `document`/`inlineData` and videos keep their `video/mp4` mime instead of being dropped (#6790 — thanks @Witroch4, with an independent report/fix from @samimozcan via #6762/#6753).
+- **fix(providers): ensure DeepSeek Web SSE emits [DONE] after FINISHED** (#6791 — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch).
+- **fix(api):** the compression config `PUT` schema (`stackedPipelineStepSchema`) now accepts every `ENGINE_CATALOG` id — the structural engines `session-dedup`/`ccr`/`headroom`/`relevance`/`llmlingua`/`omniglyph` and the `aggressive` `ultra` intensity — so a `GET`→`PUT` round-trip of a stacked pipeline no longer 400s on a valid engine the discriminated union had omitted (#6747 — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch).
+- **fix(cursor):** send the Agent CLI build id as `x-cursor-client-version` so Cursor upstream accepts requests from the current CLI build instead of a stale hardcoded version (#6795 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- fix(cli): waitForServer() no longer reports ready from a raw TCP accept alone — requires a fast HTTP rejection or a real health response, so the "OmniRoute is running!" banner no longer fires 30-60s before the server can actually answer requests (#6800)
+- fix(sse): de-flake timing-sensitive combo cooldown/breaker tests + add explicit MCP audit shutdown timeout (#6803)
+- **fix(codex): strip include from compact responses requests** (#6805 — thanks @yinaoxiong).
+- fix(dashboard): surface Claude extraUsage credits in quota card when quotas is empty (#6806)
+- **Request count by provider & date**: Dashboard → Analytics now shows a dedicated table of request counts grouped by provider and calendar date (plus token totals), for providers that bill per-request rather than per-token — sortable columns and a single-date filter. New `getProviderDailyUsageRows()` query (`src/lib/db/usageAnalytics.ts`) and its own `GET /api/usage/requests-by-provider-date` route (kept separate from the frozen `/api/usage/analytics` route). Regression guard: `tests/unit/db-provider-daily-usage-4009.test.ts`. (#4009 — thanks @tjengbudi)
+- **fix(resilience):** an Ollama Cloud (or any apikey-category provider) account that hit a weekly usage cap kept getting retried every few minutes instead of backing off ([#3709](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3709)) — the upstream 429 body ("you (\<account\>) have reached your weekly usage limit") was invisible to `checkFallbackError`'s existing subscription-quota-text classifier (Issue #2321) because that branch is gated by `shouldUseQuotaSignal`, which is oauth-only, so apikey providers like `ollama-cloud` fell through to the generic exponential backoff (~1s, capped at 2min) — one account took 285x429 in 48h. A new `isWeeklyUsageLimitText`/`buildWeeklyQuotaFallback` classifier (extracted, with the existing subscription-quota logic, into a new `open-sse/services/quotaTextCooldowns.ts` module so the frozen `accountFallback.ts` didn't have to grow) runs unconditionally and applies a 24h `QUOTA_EXHAUSTED` cooldown regardless of provider category. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ollama-cloud-weekly-quota-cooldown-3709.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** an explicit `thinking.budget_tokens: 0` is now honored in the OpenAI→Gemini transform (thinking disabled) instead of being treated as unset (#6813, #6821 — thanks @alltomatos).
+- **fix(bootstrap):** filter empty `process.env` values before spawning embedded services so a blank env var no longer crashes the Docker bootstrap in a restart loop (#6828 — thanks @AndrianBalanescu).
+- **fix(providers):** classify upstream `404` responses as `MODEL_NOT_FOUND` (model lockout) instead of a retryable provider error, stopping the retry storm when a single model is missing (#6829 — thanks @AndrianBalanescu).
+- fix(mcp): de-duplicate `TOTAL_MCP_TOOL_COUNT` by tool name instead of double-counting collections (#6854)
+- **fix(usage):** xAI's exact provider-reported `cost_in_usd_ticks` no longer silently accepts `null`/`""`/negative values as a valid `$0` exact cost — `extractUsageFromResponse()` (`open-sse/handlers/usageExtractor.ts`) and `normalizeUsage()` (`open-sse/utils/usageTracking.ts`) now require `typeof value === "number" && Number.isFinite(value) && value >= 0` instead of coercing with `Number(x)`, so a malformed exact cost correctly falls back to the token-based estimate instead of masking it with a bogus `$0`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/xai-exact-cost-2453.test.ts` (rejects null/empty/negative exact costs on both call sites). ([#6856](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6856) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(plugin):** the `@omniroute/opencode-plugin` dynamic provider hook stopped embedding its OC-1.17.8+-gate-compatible `opencode-`-prefixed provider id into model routing fields (`ModelV2.id`/`providerID`, combo catalog keys) — OmniRoute's server has no `opencode-<x>` provider alias, so every dispatched model failed credential lookup with "No credentials for opencode-omniroute" (#6859).
+- fix(sse): apply cliproxyapiModelMapping at CLIProxyAPI dispatch time (#6876)
+- fix(sse): defer `response.completed` until a trailing usage-only chunk arrives on `/v1/responses` streams (#6906)
+- **fix(cli):** ship `head-response-guard.cjs` into the standalone bundle — `server-ws.mjs` imported it without a matching `EXTRA_MODULE_ENTRIES` entry, so every `build:release` dist crashed at boot with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND`; a new regression test derives the required sidecars from `server-ws.mjs` imports (#6908)
+- fix(sse): wire the shared quota-fetch throttle into DeepSeek, Bailian, OpenCode, and Crof quota fetchers, not just Codex (#6911)
+- fix(sse): rename client-sent `max_completion_tokens` to `max_tokens` for providers/models that only accept the legacy field (e.g. Volcengine Ark / DeepSeek), mirroring the existing reverse rename from #1961 (#6912)
+- fix(sse): set includeServerSideToolInvocations on Antigravity tool cloak decoys (#6914)
+- fix(sse): classify LAN embeddings providers (10/8, 192.168/16, CGNAT) as no-auth instead of forcing bearer auth (#6925)
+- fix(sse): Qwen Web executor no longer sends `[object Object]` when a message uses structured (array) content — the text parts are now flattened (#6927)
+- perf(api): relay chat-completions routes now thread the already-fetched `RelayToken` into `checkRateLimit`, skipping a redundant `SELECT * FROM relay_tokens WHERE id = ?` re-query on every request (#6930)
+- fix(sse): `normalizeCodexMessageContentPart` now rewrites explicit `type: "input_text"` (not just `type: "text"`) to `output_text` on assistant-role Codex Responses input parts, so replayed assistant history sent by codex-cli as `input_text` is no longer rejected by the Codex/OpenAI backend (#6932)
+- fix(sse): omit removed `attachments` field from Muse Spark Web (Meta AI) persisted GraphQL query to fix `Unknown type "AttachmentInput"` 502s (#6935)
+- fix(dashboard): label audio/embeddings/image compatible providers by kind instead of "Chat" on ProviderCard (#6936)
+- fix(api): model-list discovery for LAN-local OpenAI-compatible providers (e.g. LM Studio) now uses the same local-first SSRF guard as the connection test, instead of the stricter guard that always blocked LAN hosts (#6939)
+- fix(providers): `openai->gemini` transform now maps `reasoning_effort: "none"` to `thinkingConfig.thinkingBudget: 0` (with `includeThoughts: false`), giving callers an explicit, documented off-switch for Gemini thinking; the no-knob-at-all default injection (#4170) is unchanged (#6813, thanks @rafaumeu)
+- **fix(sse):** escape backslash before brackets in ChatGPT-web citation link text, preventing a citation label containing `\` from corrupting the generated Markdown link ([#6944](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6944)) — thanks @brick30llc-ctrl
+- fix(oauth): tokenHealthCheck now lowercase-normalizes `conn.provider` before checking `ROTATING_REFRESH_PROVIDERS.has()` and the GitHub Copilot sub-token refresh guard, so mixed-case provider values (e.g. "OpenAI", "Github") no longer bypass the rotating-refresh-token skip or the Copilot sub-token refresh (#6947)
+- fix(sse): make Codex Responses tool-arg normalization schema-aware — drop values equal to the tool's declared JSON Schema `default`, generalize empty-optional stripping to any tool (not just `Read`/`Subagent`) via `schema.required`, and thread each tool's schema from the request's `tools[]` into the streaming response translator (#6951)
+- fix(sse): drop internal commentary-phase Responses output in TRANSLATE-mode streams, not just PASSTHROUGH — codex/Responses-upstream routes translated into another client format (e.g. Claude Code) no longer leak duplicate prose and narrated tool-call arguments into the client text channel (#6952)
+- **fix(combos):** embeddings-only and rerank-only models (e.g. JinaAI, Gemini auto-imported, OpenRouter custom, reranker models) no longer disappear from the combo builder's model picker — the leftover chat-only `isChatCapable` gate in `addModelOption()` has been removed (#6975).
+- **fix(combos):** when 2+ distinct model ids from the same provider would render an identical display name in the combo builder picker (e.g. Mistral's `codestral-latest`/`codestral-2508` aliases sharing one upstream catalog name), each colliding entry now falls back to its own id as the display label so every row stays visually distinguishable and findable (#6957).
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **chore(release-captain):** v3.8.47 pre-flight closed every deterministic release-tip base-red ([#6967](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6967)): restored the `no-explicit-any` severity silently downgraded by #6786 (439 bulk suppressions had stopped matching), made the openadapter live-catalog test deterministic (`test.after()` was tearing the DB down mid-request), aligned the emergency-fallback and Cloud Code Gemini tests with the #6912/#6943 contracts, backfilled the #6909 i18n keys (en + pt-BR), re-exported `relayProbeStats` (db-rules), documented `OMNI_MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS`, and allowlisted migration gap 121. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **chore(security):** unbiased crypto digits for the doubao synthetic device id (CodeQL `js/biased-cryptographic-random`); 405 method-first for `/api/keys/{id}/devices` (dast-smoke); Zod-validation for `POST /api/github-skills`; the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry + catalog count alignment. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **chore(quality):** cycle-close ratchet work — cleared the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors and made `validate-release-green` suppressions-aware; cleared the 2 remaining heavy-gate reds on the release tip; cycle rebaselines (cognitive/file-size/zizmor/coverage pcts) with justification keys. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **chore(open-sse):** removed the vestigial `// @ts-nocheck` directive from `open-sse/utils/usageTracking.ts` ([#6173](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6173)) — `tsc` under the standard `typecheck:core` gate reports 0 errors for this 595-line hot-path file (executed for every provider response), so the suppression was no longer needed; removing it restores type-checking on the token-usage extraction/normalization path. (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **chore(cli):** the shell-completion cache paths (`readCache`/`refreshCache`/`writeCache`) in `bin/cli/commands/completion.mjs` no longer swallow errors into a bare `catch {}` ([#6257](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6257)) — each now binds the error and, when the new `OMNIROUTE_DEBUG_COMPLETION` env var is set, emits a `[omniroute completion]` diagnostic to `stderr`; the caches still fail silently by default so a missing/corrupt cache never breaks tab-completion. (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **chore(quality):** `validate-release-green --full-ci` reproduces the full `ci.yml` static gate set locally — the pre-flight now reads `ci.yml` itself and runs every `npm run check:*` from the `lint` / `quality-gate` / `quality-extended` / `docs-sync-strict` / `pr-test-policy` jobs (`--` ratchet flags preserved, `test-masking` against `GITHUB_BASE_REF=main`), skipping only the non-local `pr-evidence`/`codeql-ratchet`. Closes the gap where 11 static base-reds leaked to the v3.8.46 release PR in ~2h of layered CI. Also wired into `nightly-release-green` so a static base-red opens a tracking issue the night it lands. Regression guard: `tests/unit/validate-release-green.test.ts` (+5 `extractCiGates` cases).
+- **refactor(usage):** `saveRequestUsage(entry: any)` is now typed with a new `UsageEntry` interface mirroring the `usage_history` columns 1:1 (#3512) — the other stray `any`s in `src/lib/usage/usageHistory.ts` (`getUsageHistory` filter, the `getUsageDb` next-cursor cast, `appendRequestLog`'s legacy `tokens` param, `getRecentLogs`'s catch) were cleaned in the same pass, so the file now sits in the `check:any-budget:t11` zero-`any` allowlist. The DB-entity ↔ TS-interface convention is documented in `docs/architecture/CODEBASE_DOCUMENTATION.md` §11.
+- **Merge-train script** (`scripts/release/merge-train.sh`): batch-validates N queued PRs as ONE merged result on the runner box — merges every queued PR into a throwaway worktree cut from the release tip, runs the fast-gates parity suite once, and prints the `--admin` evidence block per PR (merge-gates §7). Replaces O(N²) per-PR CI re-runs in merge-storms. Regression guard: `tests/unit/merge-train-plan.test.ts`.
+- **release:** `list-uncovered-commits.mjs` now unions the CHANGELOG scan window with `changelog.d/` fragment refs (filename `<PR>-` prefix + every `#N` in the body), so a commit covered only by a fragment is no longer reported as an uncovered reconciliation gap ([#6857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6857) via [#6878](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6878))
+- chore(quality): restore no-explicit-any severity to error (silently downgraded by #6786, broke 439 bulk suppressions), fix 2 unsuppressed anys in repro-6912 test, allowlist migration gap 121, freeze-bump stream.ts/ProxyRegistryManager/tokenHealthCheck (combined-merge drift)
+- chore(base): pt-BR/en i18n keys for #6909 relay-repair/free-pool UI + align Cloud Code Gemini defaults test with the #6943 non-thinking-model contract
+- chore(base): re-export relayProbeStats from localDb (db-rules gate, #6909 follow-up) and document OMNI_MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS in .env.example/ENVIRONMENT.md (env-doc gate, #6590 follow-up)
+- **ci:** unit fast-path sharding doubled 2→4 (halves the heaviest job's wall time) (#6781); the 3 heaviest fast-path jobs can route to the self-hosted VPS runner pool behind `USE_VPS_RUNNER` (#6691); `VPS_ALWAYS_ON` keeps the dedicated 24/7 CI host up across releases (teardown becomes a no-op) (#6693).
+- **docs:** routing-strategy count reconciled to 18 across AUTO-COMBO.md, README and AGENTS.md, and `p2c` casing fixed to match `ROUTING_STRATEGY_VALUES` (#6643, #6644, #6646 — thanks @chirag127); CLAUDE.md updated with the renamed review/triage/implement skill-family names (#6663).
+- chore(release): v3.8.47 pre-flight — relocate #6943 orphan test to a collected path, restore no-explicit-any suppression match, testFrozen bump translator-openai-to-gemini (1541→1553), zizmor rebaseline 159→169
+- **docs(readme):** fix stale counts — 18 routing strategies (adds the missing `pipeline` row), 94 MCP tools, 12-factor Auto-Combo scoring.
+- **chore(ci):** fix two shared base-reds on the release tip that blocked the PR queue — register `cliproxyapi-model-mapping-dispatch.test.ts` in `stryker.conf.json` `tap.testFiles` (mutation-coverage gap left by #6903) and update `provider-models-route-codex.test.ts` to expect Codex client version `0.144.0` (stale assertion left by #6780's production bump).
+- **docs:** refresh `llm.txt` to the current project state (248 providers, 94 MCP tools / 30 scopes, 18 routing strategies, 12-factor Auto-Combo scoring, v3.8.47) and sync its 42 i18n mirrors; move the implemented design-system plan from the repo root to `docs/architecture/DESIGN_SYSTEM.md` rewritten as a reference doc.
+- **chore(security):** scrub hardcoded live-instance credentials (API key + auth cookie + host URL) from the `tests/boundary/*.live.test.ts` files landed via #6786 — they now read `OMNIROUTE_TEST_BASE` / `OMNIROUTE_TEST_BEARER` / `OMNIROUTE_TEST_COOKIE` from the environment and stay gated behind `RUN_BOUNDARY_LIVE=1`.

+## [3.8.46] — 2026-07-07
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(sse):** **hide paid-only models from `auto/*` routing** when `hidePaidModels` is on ([#6512](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6512)) — follow-up to #6328/#6495. PR #6495 hid paid-only models from the `GET /v1/models` listing, but `auto/*` combos (`auto/best-coding`, `auto/glm`, …) could still pick a paid-only backend into their candidate pool → a 402/403 at request time. `createVirtualAutoCombo` now filters the candidate pool through the new pure `open-sse/services/autoCombo/paidModelFilter.ts` (`filterPaidOnlyCandidates`), applying the same free-model predicate #6495 uses in `catalog.ts` (`providerHasFreeModels(provider) && isFreeModel(provider, {id})`) whenever `settings.hidePaidModels === true`. Applied before the category/tier/family narrowing, so it covers every `auto/*` combo; an all-paid pool degrades to the existing graceful empty-pool path. **Opt-in — default OFF leaves the pool unchanged** (identity). Regression guard: `tests/unit/autoCombo/paid-model-filter-6512.test.ts` (4, incl. the default-off identity guard).
+- **feat(sse):** **provider-family auto combos** — `auto/glm`, `auto/minimax`, `auto/mimo`, `auto/zai`, `auto/gemma`, `auto/llama`, `auto/gemini` ([#6453](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6453)) — new routable ids that materialize an on-demand virtual combo spanning whatever installed backends currently expose that model family, degrading gracefully as backends rotate. A new pure `open-sse/services/autoCombo/modelFamily.ts` (`detectModelFamily`) classifies by model-id prefix for six families; `zai` is instead resolved by provider id (z.ai's hosted API serves the same `glm-*` model ids as every other GLM backend, so `auto/zai` means "route to my z.ai backend specifically" vs `auto/glm`'s "any connected GLM backend"). Reuses the existing `createVirtualAutoCombo` on-demand materialization path (no DB writes) and the `/v1/models` catalog advertising loop. Regression guard: `tests/unit/autoCombo/provider-family-combos.test.ts` (11).
+- **feat(proxy):** native **proxy-pool round-robin / egress IP rotation** ([#6365](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6365)) — a scope (global / provider / account) can now hold **multiple** proxies as a pool with a rotation strategy, so outbound requests cycle their egress IP instead of pinning one proxy per scope. Migration `117_proxy_pool_rotation.sql` lifts the `UNIQUE(scope, scope_id)` constraint (rebuild via the canonical rename/copy/drop; existing single assignments become 1-element pools) and adds a `proxy_scope_rotation` companion table holding the per-scope strategy + a persisted monotonic round-robin cursor. Strategies: `round-robin` (default, monotonic cursor — never `Math.random`), `random`, and `sticky-per-N-min`. Resolution (`resolveProxyForScopeFromRegistry` / `resolveProxyForConnectionFromRegistry`) now fetches the alive, position-ordered candidate set (unchanged `PROXY_ALIVE_PREDICATE`) and applies the strategy; an empty / all-dead pool still returns `null` — the #6246 fail-closed guard is **untouched** (never falls through to direct egress). Backend + DB only; dashboard pool-builder UI is a follow-up. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-pool-rotation-6365.test.ts` (8, incl. fail-closed + backward-compat).
+- **feat(providers):** end-to-end **tool/function calling on the native Gemini `/v1beta` endpoint** ([#6222](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6222)) — both directions of the Gemini↔OpenAI conversion now preserve tool data (previously silently dropped). Request side: `convertGeminiToInternal` (extracted to its own testable module) maps `tools[].functionDeclarations` → OpenAI `tools`, prior `functionCall` parts → assistant `tool_calls`, and `functionResponse` parts → `tool`-role messages. Response side: `convertOpenAIResponseToGemini` emits `parts[].functionCall {name,args}` from `message.tool_calls`, and the streaming `openAIChunkToGeminiChunk` accumulates fragmented `tool_calls` deltas by index into complete `functionCall` parts. The non-Gemini client paths (Claude, OpenAI-Responses) already preserved tool calls — this closes the gap specific to the native Gemini surface. Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1beta-gemini-tool-calling-6222.test.ts` (6, incl. a streaming SSE round-trip).
+- **feat(providers):** copilot-m365-web **enterprise / work tier** support ([#6334](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6334)) — mirrors the EDU-tier pattern (#6210): `M365ConnectionParams` gains an `agent` field, a new opt-in `M365_ENTERPRISE_OVERRIDES` preset (`agent=work`, `scenario=officeweb`, `licenseType=Premium`) applies via `providerSpecificData.tier="enterprise"` (alias `"work"`), and `agent` is also overridable directly via `providerSpecificData.agent`. `buildWsUrl` was hardcoding `agent="web"` (the one enterprise-distinguishing param with no override path), so a Premium work account handshook then returned an empty stream. The individual and EDU paths are untouched. Kilo's dup flag vs #6210 (EDU tier) was a false positive — different tier. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-enterprise-6334.test.ts` (7). End-to-end confirmation on a real Premium work account is a live-VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18). (thanks @Forcerecon)
+- **feat(api):** standardized, provider-agnostic **`effort` + `thinking` request params** ([#6241](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6241)) — a thin standardization layer over the existing mature per-provider reasoning plumbing (no provider mapper touched). `providerChatCompletionSchema` gains a canonical `effort` (reusing the shared `none/low/medium/high/xhigh` vocabulary — the UI tiers `extra`/`max` collapse onto `xhigh`) and a boolean `thinking`. A pure `normalizeReasoningRequest` (wired once in `src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, before any reasoning field is read) folds them onto the fields the translators already consume (`reasoning_effort` / `reasoning.effort` / `thinking`), so they fan out to Anthropic / Gemini / xAI / Responses — an explicit client `reasoning_effort` / object-shaped `thinking` always wins (backward-compatible). `/models` additively exposes `supportsThinking` + `effort_tiers` so the frontend can render the toggles (UI component is a follow-up). Regression guard: `tests/unit/effort-thinking-standardization-6241.test.ts` (12). (thanks @Iammilansoni, @shabeer)
+- **feat(combo):** new **`pipeline` (sequential) combo strategy** ([#6297](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6297)) — the 18th routing strategy runs targets **in order**, threading each step's output into the next step's input, with an optional per-step `prompt` (system instruction); only the final step's response is returned. Distinct from `fusion` (parallel fan-out + judge). Implemented as a self-contained `open-sse/services/pipeline.ts` (sibling to `fusion.ts`), dispatched from `combo.ts`; the step list reuses `combo.models` order and reads an optional `prompt` off each target (backward-compatible — ignored by every other strategy). Intermediate steps run non-streaming with tools stripped (complete prose to thread forward); the final step keeps the client's `stream` flag + tools. A failing/empty/unparseable intermediate step fails the whole pipeline explicitly via a sanitized error (never silently swallowed). Kilo's dup flag vs #563 was a false positive (that's model→chain selection; this is a sequential chain). Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-pipeline-strategy.test.ts` (5). (thanks @ofekbetzalel)
+- **feat(ci):** `check:test-masking` now flags **inline-reimplemented prod conditions** ([#6348](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6348)) — a new **report-only** subcheck (v2, 6A.10 family) catches the wrong-shape contract test: a test that recomputes the condition under test inline instead of importing/exercising the real function (the #6216 class, where `=== 500` → `>= 500` stayed green because the test re-implemented the branch). For each added/modified test file it warns when the file textually duplicates a ≥3-token conditional from a production file touched in the same PR **and** does not import the symbol/module owning it, via a pure, fixture-tested `findReimplementedConditions()` with an allowlist mirroring `assertReductionAllowlist`. Report-only for now (does not fail the gate) — to be promoted to blocking after a triage cycle. Regression guard: `tests/unit/check-test-masking.test.ts` (45).
+- **feat(sse):** per-connection routing override (native vs CLIProxyAPI) ([#6339](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6339)) — the previously-dead `isCliproxyapiDeepModeEnabled` helper is now wired into `resolveExecutorWithProxy`: a single connection can opt itself into the CLIProxyAPI passthrough executor via `providerSpecificData.cliproxyapiMode="claude-native"`, with precedence **connection override > provider `upstream_proxy_config` mode > default**. `resolveExecutorWithProxy` now receives the resolved connection's `providerSpecificData` (threaded from `chatCore.ts`), so one connection can deep-route while the provider's other connections stay native — no DB schema change (the toggle rides in `providerSpecificData`). Also resolves the same-provider mixing ask in #6340. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chatcore-executor-proxy.test.ts` (9). (thanks @RaviTharuma)
+- **feat(dashboard):** "Add session cookie" modal now shows a prominent **"Open ‹host› →"** link to the provider's own site ([#6268](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6268)) — every `-web` cookie-session provider (chatgpt-web, claude-web, gemini-web, kimi-web, lmarena, qwen-web, m365-copilot-web, …) renders a one-click external link (opening the provider's login/home page in a new tab) so operators no longer tab away to retype the URL mid-setup. The host resolves from a pure, unit-tested `resolveWebProviderHost()` (prefers `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS[id].website`, falls back to the registry `baseUrl` origin); non-web providers render exactly as before. Kilo's dup flag vs #6265 (modal-too-small-on-1080p) was a false positive — distinct concern. Regression guard: `tests/unit/resolve-web-provider-host.test.ts` (5). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add **DigitalOcean** AI (serverless inference) as an OpenAI-compatible API-key provider ([#6373](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6373)) — base `https://inference.do-ai.run/v1`, wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/digitalocean/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/inference-hosts.ts`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/digitalocean-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @newnol)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Huancheng Public API** (`hcnsec`) as an OpenAI-compatible regional provider ([#6410](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6410)) — Xinjiang Huancheng Cybersecurity's public LLM platform (base `https://api.hcnsec.cn/v1`, free credits via daily check-ins), wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/hcnsec/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/regional.ts`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/hcnsec-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @UnrealAryan)
+- **feat(dashboard):** the web-session credential guide now shows an **"Open {host}" link** ([#6316](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6316)) to the provider's sign-in site (derived from the provider `website` via `getProviderWebsiteHost`), so you can jump straight to the page where the cookie/session must be captured. Regression guard: `tests/unit/web-session-provider-link-6316.test.ts`. (thanks @jordansilly77-stack)
+- **feat(cerebras):** add the **Gemma 4 31B** model (`gemma-4-31b`) to the Cerebras registry + pricing table ([#6331](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6331)). Regression guard extends `tests/unit/t28-model-catalog-updates.test.ts`. (thanks @backryun)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Yuanbao (web)** as a cookie-session provider ([#6196](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6196)) — `yuanbao-web` (Tencent Yuanbao, `yuanbao.tencent.com`) with cookie-only auth (`hy_user`/`hy_token` + public agent id), SSE→OpenAI translation incl. `reasoning_content`, exposing DeepSeek V3/R1 + Hunyuan / Hunyuan-T1. Regression guard: `tests/unit/providers-yuanbao-web.test.ts`. `together-web` was **deferred** (no verifiable web-session endpoint — needs a captured request) and `huggingchat-web` **dropped** (the existing `huggingchat` already is a web-cookie provider). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** route the built-in **agentrouter** through the dynamic Claude-Code wire image ([#6056](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6056)) — a small static allow-set (`CC_WIRE_IMAGE_BUILTINS` in `open-sse/services/ccWireImageBuiltins.ts`), consulted by `isClaudeCodeCompatible` / `isClaudeCodeCompatibleProvider` / `applyFingerprint`, makes agentrouter adopt the CC wire-image headers + fingerprint **while guarding the CC baseUrl/auth branches** so it keeps its own registry `baseUrl` and `x-api-key` auth. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentrouter-cc-wire-image.test.ts` (asserts the wire image is applied AND agentrouter's baseUrl/auth are preserved). Live WAF-acceptance against agentrouter.org is a VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18).
+- **feat(providers):** **bulk-add API keys for Cloudflare Workers AI** ([#6174](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6174)) — `cloudflare-ai` is removed from the bulk-add exclusion list and the bulk parser gains a 3-field `name|accountId|apiKey` mode; the bulk route now builds a **per-entry** `providerSpecificData` so each key carries its own `accountId` (fixing the previous shared-object reuse), and both the create + key-validation paths receive it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/bulk-api-key-parser-cloudflare.test.ts`. (thanks @muflifadla38)
+- **feat(dashboard):** routing/settings UX clarity ([#6147](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6147)) — (1) weighted combos show the **effective routing share %** next to each weight when weights don't sum to 100 (`WeightTotalBar.tsx`); (2) the status widget's user-facing **"Cloud Sync" label is renamed** to "Remote Settings Sync" (`CloudSyncStatus.tsx`; internal ids/state untouched); (3) built-in providers gain an **opt-in advanced base-URL override** (`isBaseUrlOverrideEligibleProvider`, hidden behind an "Advanced" toggle, reusing the existing `providerSpecificData.baseUrl` persistence — not globally widened). Regression guard: `tests/unit/routing-settings-ux-6147.test.ts`.
+- **feat(combo):** add an option to **disable session stickiness**, per-combo or globally — round-robin / random combos can rotate to a different connection on every request instead of pinning a whole conversation to one connection by its first-message hash. Resolution precedence per-combo `config.disableSessionStickiness` → global `settings.disableSessionStickiness` → default `false` (preserves the #3825 prompt-cache/504 fix); gates **both** stickiness call sites in `open-sse/services/combo.ts`. Exposed as a global toggle (Combo Defaults) and a per-combo Inherit/on/off control. ([#6168](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6168)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-disable-session-stickiness.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+- **feat(docker):** add the `OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO` env flag for root-less / user-namespaced deployments — the MITM cert-trust command path (`resolveSudoSpawn` in `src/mitm/systemCommands.ts`) now strips the leading `sudo` when the flag is truthy, in addition to the existing root / sudo-missing cases, so the Proxy Agent runs without `sudo` (the operator trusts the CA manually, e.g. via `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`). Argv-array `spawn` preserved — no shell interpolation (Hard Rule #13). ([#6122](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6122)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-systemCommands-no-sudo.test.ts`. (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Requesty** as an OpenAI-compatible gateway provider (BYOK, base `https://router.requesty.ai/v1`, ~200 free requests/day) — wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/requesty/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/gateways.ts`). ([#6120](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6120)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/requesty-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add **configured-only / available-only filters** to the Free Provider Rankings page ([#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150)) — hide providers you haven't configured, or whose connections are all rate-limited / out of quota, via server-side query params (`?configuredOnly` / `?availableOnly` on `GET /api/free-provider-rankings`) backed by a testable lib helper reusing the in-process connection state (no Redis). Both filters default off, so the default view is unchanged; this supersedes the earlier client-side "Configured Only" toggle (#6245) with an available-only dimension and unit-tested logic. Regression guard: `tests/unit/freeProviderRankings-filters.test.ts`.
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(dashboard):** adding a second API key connection for the same provider no longer silently overwrites the first — the Add-API-key modal now derives a unique default connection name (`main`, then `main-2`, `main-3`, …) so the backend name-based upsert can't collide (#6499 — thanks @dilneiss).
+- **fix(compression):** the session-dedup engine now also deduplicates a large multi-line block repeated **within a single message** (intra-message dedup), not just across turns; the compression-preview API surfaces a `fallbackReason`, and the fusion panel reports how many models were rate-limited vs failed on total-panel failure (#6501 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **fix(compression):** a stacked-pipeline step naming an unregistered engine now surfaces a `validationErrors` entry instead of silently no-op'ing, so misconfigured pipelines are visible in the preview API (#6506 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **feat(usage):** add a **Codex reset-credit redemption** flow to the Provider Limits UI ([#6361](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6361)) — a `useCodexResetCreditRedemption` hook + `/api/usage/codex-reset-credit` route + `codexResetCredits` lib let you redeem banked Codex reset credits from the quota card. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-reset-credits.test.ts`. (thanks @JxnLexn)
+- **feat(glm):** add **team-plan quota settings** for `glm-cn` connections ([#6351](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6351)) — a dedicated `GlmTeamQuotaFields` form section (team quota id / limits) threaded through the Add/Edit connection modals, persisted via `providerSpecificData`, with the GLM usage service reading the team quota. Regression guards: `tests/unit/glm-team-quota.test.ts`, `provider-specific-data-schema.test.ts`. (thanks @hao3039032)
+- **feat(providers):** add **TinyFish** web-fetch/search support ([#6349](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6349)) — a `tinyfish-fetch` executor + `/v1/web/fetch` route + MCP web-fetch tool, registered as a specialty-media provider with request-validation and a search-provider catalog entry. Regression guards: `tests/unit/executor-tinyfish-fetch.test.ts`, `web-fetch-handler.test.ts`, `mcp-web-fetch-tool.test.ts`, `provider-validation-tinyfish.test.ts`. (thanks @dtybnrj)
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute launch-codex` now spawns `codex.cmd` through a shell on Windows (the npm `.cmd` shim is unresolvable by bare `spawn` → ENOENT), mirroring the qodercli Windows fix (#6263) ([#6312](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6312)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/launch-codex-windows-spawn-6312.test.ts`. (thanks @swingtempo)
+- **fix(codex):** isolate the **Spark** quota from the shared Codex quota and stabilize the quota UI ordering / hydration so per-scope limits render consistently ([#6336](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6336)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/codex-quota-selection-hydration.test.ts`, `provider-limits-ui.test.ts` + 3 more. (thanks @xz-dev)
+- **feat(api):** add a `hidePaidModels` setting that filters paid-only models out of the `/v1/models` catalog. Regression guard: `tests/unit/models-catalog-hide-paid.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api-manager):** the fallback model picker now preserves combos instead of dropping them when a primary model is unavailable ([#6443](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6443)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api-manager-page-static.test.ts`. (thanks @jmengit)
+- **fix(providers):** recoverable Antigravity / Cloud-Code (Gemini Code Assist) `403` responses ([#6452](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6452)) are now classified as a retryable project-config error instead of a terminal account ban, so a fixable project/API-disabled 403 no longer forces a ~1-year cooldown / full OAuth reconnect. Regression guard: `tests/unit/errorclassifier-antigravity-403.test.ts`. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(mitm):** `sanitizeHeaders` now redacts `Set-Cookie` response headers so upstream session cookies never leak into logs / diagnostics ([#6451](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6451)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-sanitize-headers.test.ts`. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(api):** `/api/compression/preview` now accepts `mode: "caveman"` and correctly handles stacked / zero-compression previews ([#6425](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6425)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api/compression-preview-caveman-and-stacked-6425.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Zed** hosted LLM aggregator as a native-app provider ([#6118](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6118)) — OAuth sign-in via the Zed hosted flow, registered through the shared provider registry + executor. Regression guards: `tests/unit/zed-oauth-provider.test.ts`, `zed-import-utils.test.ts`, `zed-docker-detect.test.ts`, `mitm-handler-zed.test.ts`. VPS-validated via live operator login (Hard Rule #18).
+- **fix(oauth):** the Kiro SSO-cache auto-import now **preserves the IDC region** — cross-region Amazon Q / Kiro profiles imported from the SSO cache are no longer collapsed to the default region ([#6113](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6113)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kiro-auto-import-idc-2059.test.ts`. VPS-validated via live operator login (Hard Rule #18).
+- **fix(dashboard):** passthrough model aliases no longer collide when two namespaced model ids share a last segment (port from 9router#1850, [#6431](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6431)). `enx/gpt-5.5` and `enx/codebuddy/gpt-5.5` both auto-generated the alias `gpt-5.5`, so the second model could never be added (the UI just alerted "alias already exists"). Aliases are now disambiguated deterministically — bare last segment when free, then parent-qualified (`codebuddy-gpt-5.5`), then a numeric suffix — while re-adding the exact same model id is still blocked. Regression guard: `tests/unit/passthrough-alias-1850.test.ts`. (thanks @arpicato)
+- **fix(translator):** preserve a Gemini `functionResponse` co-located with other parts (another `functionCall`, or trailing `text`) in the same content when translating **Gemini → OpenAI** ([#6376](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6376)). `convertGeminiContent()` early-returned the tool message on the first `functionResponse` part, dropping any co-located parts; such contents are now pre-split (one tool message per `functionResponse`, emitted first, plus one message for the remaining parts). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-to-openai-function-response.test.ts`. (thanks @warelik)
+- **fix(headroom):** detect a python interpreter managed by **mise / pyenv / asdf / conda** (port from 9router#2353, [#6382](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6382)). Headroom's python probe (`src/lib/headroom/detect.ts`) searched a hardcoded `PATH`, but version managers expose their interpreters via shim dirs that only join `PATH` through interactive-shell activation — which the non-interactive server never runs, so a managed python (≥3.10) was invisible and Headroom reported it missing. The search path now prepends the well-known shim/bin dirs (`~/.local/share/mise/shims`, `~/.pyenv/shims`, `~/.asdf/shims`, `$CONDA_PREFIX/bin`, `~/.local/bin`, respecting `MISE_DATA_DIR`/`PYENV_ROOT`/`ASDF_DATA_DIR` when set), and a new `HEADROOM_PYTHON` env override lets operators point straight at their interpreter (mirroring `HEADROOM_URL`). Still shell-free (`execFileSync`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/headroom-detect.test.ts` (5). (thanks @loopyd)
+- **fix(executors):** strip the OpenAI-Codex/Claude-CLI `client_metadata` passthrough field for **NVIDIA** requests (port from 9router#1887, [#6411](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6411)). NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible wrapper rejects it with `400 Unsupported parameter`, the same class already handled for `cerebras`/`mistral`; `nvidia` (executor `default`) was missing from the strip allowlist so Codex/Claude-Code passthrough requests 400'd. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executor-default-strip-client-metadata.test.ts` (+nvidia case). (thanks @phidinhmanh)
+- **fix(translator):** strip the Claude-style `thinking` field for **NVIDIA `z-ai/glm-5.2`** (port from 9router#2023, [#6413](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6413)). NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible wrapper 400s on `thinking` (a Claude-format client routed here leaves a `thinking:{type:"adaptive"}`); the existing strip rule only dropped `reasoning`. Same class already handled for `minimax-m2.7`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-minimax-thinking-strip.test.ts` (+glm-5.2 case). (thanks @phidinhmanh)
+- **fix(translator):** suppress the streamed `</think>` close marker for the **Antigravity IDE** client (port from 9router#1061, [#6415](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6415)). On thinking-only turns Antigravity rendered a bare `</think>` as the sole visible content, tripping its loop-detection and wasting requests. Antigravity's UA (`vscode/<v> (Antigravity/<v>)`) is added to the marker-suppress allowlist (alongside OpenCode); Claude Code / Cursor still get the marker, and `x-omniroute-thinking-marker: on` force-restores it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/think-close-marker-suppress-5245.test.ts`. (thanks @abdofallah)
+- **fix(executors):** strip nested `reasoning_content` from messages for **Mistral** (port from 9router#1649, [#6417](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6417)). Mistral's API returns `422 extra_forbidden` when an assistant message carries `reasoning_content` (replayed thinking from a prior turn, e.g. via the Codex `/responses` path); the generic top-level 400 field-downgrade retry never covered the nested per-message field. `DefaultExecutor` now strips it for provider `mistral` only, so DeepSeek (which requires replayed `reasoning_content`) is unaffected. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mistral-strip-reasoning-content-1649.test.ts`. (thanks @xxy9468615)
+- **fix(executors):** strip the `client_metadata` passthrough field on the **OpenCode** path (port from 9router#1442, [#6418](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6418)). OpenCode upstreams (e.g. `kimi-k2.6` via opencode-go) reject it with `400 "Extra inputs are not permitted, field: 'client_metadata'"`; the DefaultExecutor strip only covered cerebras/mistral and `OpencodeExecutor` extends `BaseExecutor` directly, so nothing removed it there. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-strip-client-metadata-1442.test.ts`. (thanks @yanpaing007)
+- **fix(executors):** inject the `reasoning_content` echo for the native **Moonshot Kimi** provider (port from 9router#1480, [#6419](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6419)). Kimi (executor `default`) is a thinking-mode upstream that 400s with "reasoning_content must be passed back" when a prior assistant turn lacks it; the placeholder injection was only wired into the OpenCode meta-provider, so direct multi-turn Kimi conversations failed. Scoped to `kimi` (gateway-served models matching the thinking-model name pattern are unaffected). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kimi-native-reasoning-injected-1480.test.ts`. (thanks @2220258345)
+- **fix(executors):** recover from a strict gateway's `context_management: Extra inputs are not permitted` 400 (port from 9router#1468, [#6420](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6420)). **Claude Code** always sends a top-level `context_management` field; strict anthropic-compatible gateways reject it. The dedicated context-editing 400-fallback only fired when OmniRoute's own `contextEditing` feature was enabled (default off), so a client-sent field passed through untouched and 400'd. `context_management` is now in the generic reactive field-strip list, so it's stripped-and-retried once regardless of the feature flag (with correct request re-signing for claude-compatible relays). Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-field-strips.test.ts`. (thanks @ohahe52-dot)
+- **fix(network):** enable **RFC 8305 Happy Eyeballs** (`autoSelectFamily`) on the direct-egress undici dispatcher (port from 9router#1237, [#6423](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6423)). When DNS returns both IPv6 (AAAA) and IPv4 (A) and the IPv6 route is broken (e.g. a NAT64 `64:ff9b::` prefix without routing), undici tried IPv6 first and hung until `ETIMEDOUT` (then a 502 + account lockout), even though `curl` reached the same host. The direct dispatcher now races both families and uses whichever connects first. Proxy paths pin family via `proxyTls` and are unaffected. Regression guard: `tests/unit/direct-dispatcher-pipelining-4580.test.ts`. (thanks @adentdk)
+- **fix(combo):** round-robin now advances the rotation pointer past the model that **actually served**, not the eagerly-scheduled one (port from 9router#948, [#6428](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6428)). With `stickyLimit: 1` (true round-robin), when the scheduled model failed and a _different_ model served via fallback, the counter had already advanced +1 from the scheduled index — so the next request reused the fallback-served model, degrading round-robin into hot-spotting on whichever model was healthy. The pointer now advances to the served index + 1 (mirroring the sticky-limit>1 path). Session-stickiness (#3825) and distribution are preserved. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-rr-fallback-advance-948.test.ts`. (thanks @binsarjr)
+- **fix(sse):** a non-string `model` field is now rejected with a `400` before the resolver, instead of crashing downstream `.toLowerCase()`/`.split()` calls into an empty-body `500` that escapes the error sanitizer ([#6407](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6407)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/chat-non-string-model-6407.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** unknown `/api/*` routes now return a JSON `404` (instead of the dashboard HTML shell) and scalar chat params (`model`/`temperature`/etc.) are validated **before** the provider lookup so malformed requests fail fast with a clear `400` ([#6424](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6424), [#6412](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6412)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/api/api-catchall-json-404.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chat-early-schema-validation-6412.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/chat/completions` now rejects a non-JSON `Content-Type` with a `400` before parsing the body ([#6414](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6414)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-chat-completions-content-type-6414.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the `X-OmniRoute-Compression` response header is now echoed on `/v1/chat/completions` and `/v1/completions` ([#6422](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6422)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression-header-echo-6422.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** concurrent `GET /v1/models` requests are coalesced into a single catalog build ([#6408](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6408)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-models-concurrent-6408.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/completions` now echoes the requested `body.model` in its JSON + streamed responses ([#6429](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6429)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/completions-body-model-echo.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** env-var master keys now see the full `/v1/models` catalog ([#6406](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6406)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/models-catalog-envkey-6406.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** non-streaming `/v1/completions` responses now echo `body.model` aligned with the `X-OmniRoute-Model` header ([#6426](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6426)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-completions-model-header-match-6426.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** unknown `/v1/*` routes now return a JSON `404 not_found` instead of the Next.js dashboard HTML shell ([#6405](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6405)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api/v1-catchall-json-404.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the per-connection provider models route now degrades to the shipped catalog when a provider's `/models` endpoint answers with a redirect ([#6267](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6267)) — a `qwen-web` import failed with a raw `Redirect blocked … (307)` 503. `safeOutboundFetch` throws `REDIRECT_BLOCKED` on the 307, `getSafeOutboundFetchErrorStatus` maps it to 503, and `buildDiscoveryErrorFallbackResponse` treated every 503 as a hard error — so the non-empty `getModelsByProviderId("qwen-web")` catalog was never surfaced. A models-endpoint redirect is not a fixable-config error (unlike `URL_GUARD_BLOCKED`/`INVALID_URL`, which stay hard errors), so it now falls back to the local/cached catalog before the 503 short-circuit. General fix — covers any config-driven provider that 307s. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-qwen-web-redirect-6267.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the per-connection provider models route (MCP `list_models_catalog` + the dashboard import view) now merges USER-ADDED custom models into its response ([#6247](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6247)) — custom models live in the `key_value` namespace `customModels`, which the live REST `/api/v1/models` already merges, but `src/app/api/providers/[id]/models/route.ts` never read `getCustomModels`, so custom models were dropped on both the discovery-success and local_catalog paths. They are now folded into the returned model list (deduped by id, stamped `owned_by: provider`), fixing MCP + the dashboard import view in one place. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-custom-merge-6247.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo tool-calling follow-up turns no longer fail upstream with `422 {"detail":"Validation error"}` (tokens 0/0, rejected pre-inference). The #6234 tool-result-feedback fix serialized the **entire** multi-turn conversation into GitLab's single-file `code_suggestions` (`small_file`) generation endpoint — folded history that turn-N sent as an oversized `current_file.content_above_cursor` **and** duplicated verbatim into `user_instruction`, tripping the AI-Gateway's `small_file` validation guard. The executor now **bounds** that prompt: it keeps system + latest user message + the most-recent tool round (dropping older turns), caps oversized tool results, and stops duplicating the full prompt into `user_instruction` (which now carries only the short latest user message) — while still feeding the most-recent tool result back so the agent continues (`open-sse/executors/gitlab.ts`, [#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)). The unit test covers the bounding logic; the upstream 422→200 clearing is VPS-only (Hard Rule #18). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-exchange-bounded-6220.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(i18n):** the provider-detail (`/dashboard/providers/[id]`) connection-status filter labels no longer render as `__MISSING__:All` / `__MISSING__:Active` / `__MISSING__:Error` / `__MISSING__:Banned` / `__MISSING__:CreditsExhausted` in non-English locales (notably pt-BR) ([#6290](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6290)). Root cause was **not** the namespace mismatch the issue guessed — the `providers.filter*` keys resolve correctly in `en.json`; the debt lived in the locale mirrors (`src/i18n/messages/*.json`), where these five keys carried the `__MISSING__:` sync sentinel in ~15 locales and were absent entirely in ~26 others, so next-intl found the key and echoed the sentinel verbatim. All 40 non-English/-Chinese mirrors now ship real translations for the five `providers.filter*` labels. Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-provider-filter-keys-6290.test.ts`. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(providers):** the `copilot-m365-web` streaming executor now emits `debug`-level WebSocket diagnostics ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)) — the outbound WS URL (with the `access_token` **redacted** via `redactWsUrl()`), handshake success/failure, and each received SignalR frame's `type`/`target`. Previously the streaming path logged nothing, so an empty `content:null` response (the M365 Education / Starter tier symptom fixed in #6234) was undiagnosable even at `APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug`. The change is debug-level and side-effect-free — it does not alter streaming behavior or the frame parser, and the token never reaches the logs. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-web-logging-6210.test.ts` (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(resilience):** a round-robin combo no longer returns `503 all upstream accounts are unavailable` when a compatibility-rejected target is actually healthy ([#6238](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6238)). `filterTargetsByRequestCompatibility` drops request-incompatible targets (tool/vision/structured-output unsupported, or below the required context window) **before** any availability check runs, and its `compatible.length === 0` safety net only fired when _all_ targets were filtered — not when the kept targets later all turned out runtime-unavailable (circuit-open / cooldown / no credentials). So a combo could 503 while a compat-rejected-but-healthy provider sat unused. `handleRoundRobinCombo` now keeps the compat-rejected set and, when every compat-kept target was skipped without a single real attempt, probes those rejected targets as a **last-resort fallback tier** (via the new pure `open-sse/services/combo/comboCompatFallback.ts`) before crystallizing the 503. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-roundrobin-compat-fallback-6238.test.ts`. (thanks @ThongAccount)
+
+- **fix(startup):** best-effort self-heal for a corrupted Turbopack dev cache on Windows ([#6289](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6289)). On Windows, `pnpm dev` can fail at startup when Turbopack `mmap`s a persistent-cache SST file and the OS refuses the mapping (`os error 1455` — "paging file too small"), which Turbopack surfaces as a misleading `Module not found: Can't resolve '@/shared/utils/machine'`. This is a **known upstream Turbopack cache-corruption bug — not our code**. The dev launcher (`scripts/dev/run-next.mjs`) now wraps `nextApp.prepare()` and, when it rejects with that signature (`isTurbopackCacheCorruption` in the new `scripts/dev/turbopackCacheHeal.mjs`), purges `.build/next/**/cache/turbopack` and retries **once** with a clear log. **Caveat — best-effort only:** the corruption often surfaces as a runtime overlay rather than a `prepare()` rejection, so this cannot always intercept it; the reliable remedy remains manually deleting the Turbopack cache dir. Regression guard: `tests/unit/turbopack-cache-heal-6289.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(providers):** qodercli PAT auth no longer fails with `spawn qodercli ENOENT` on Windows ([#6263](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6263)) — `spawnQoderCli` spawned the bare `qodercli` name with `shell:false` and an unenriched env, so the npm `.cmd` wrapper under `%APPDATA%\npm` (a user-PATH directory) was never resolved. It now resolves the absolute `.cmd`/`.exe` path through the existing `getCliRuntimeStatus("qoder")` resolver in `src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts` (memoized), spawns with `shell` when the target is a `.cmd`/`.bat`, and uses the cliRuntime-enriched env (PATH + PATHEXT + APPDATA); the ENOENT error now lists the searched paths plus the `CLI_QODER_BIN` override. End-to-end spawn on a real Windows host is host-only (Hard Rule #18); the path-resolution logic is unit-tested. Regression guard: `tests/unit/qodercli-windows-resolve-6263.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(sse):** the reasoning-token buffer no longer inflates **probe-sized `max_tokens`** ([#6274](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6274)) — Claude Code's `/model` capability check sends `max_tokens: 1`, but for a thinking-capable model with a large output cap (e.g. `glm-5.2`) the #3587 headroom heuristic (`max(current + 1000, ceil(current * 1.5))`) rewrote it to `1001` and forwarded that upstream, wasting tokens on a request that was never a genuine reasoning budget. `resolveReasoningBufferedMaxTokens()` (`open-sse/services/reasoningTokenBuffer.ts`) now short-circuits and returns the caller's value verbatim when it is below the new `REASONING_BUFFER_MIN_TRIGGER` (256) threshold — a tiny explicit limit is a probe, not a reasoning request. Real budgets still receive the #3587 headroom unchanged, and the guard runs after the existing capability checks so unknown / non-reasoning models keep returning `null`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/reasoning-token-buffer-6274.test.ts`. (thanks @brightfiscalband)
+
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute reset-password` now works as a real subcommand, and password resets over piped (non-TTY) stdin actually apply ([#6261](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6261), [#6258](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6258)). Two coupled defects: (1) **#6261** — `bin/omniroute.mjs` routed everything through Commander with only two pre-Commander bypasses (`--mcp`, `reset-encrypted-columns`), so `omniroute reset-password` was rejected as an unknown command; only the separate `omniroute-reset-password` bin worked, while the docs falsely advertised the subcommand (incl. a bogus "legacy alias still works"). A pre-Commander bypass mirroring `reset-encrypted-columns` now dynamically imports `bin/reset-password.mjs` (which self-executes) before Commander parses; the three doc lines were corrected. (2) **#6258** — `bin/reset-password.mjs` issued two sequential `rl.question` prompts; under piped stdin the second read never settled at EOF, so `main()` never reached `resetManagementPassword` and the reset was a silent no-op (both prompts printed, no success, password unchanged). The CLI now detects non-TTY stdin and reads it once (first line = password, second line = confirm if present, else reused), adds a `--password-stdin` flag (entire stdin is the password, no confirmation), and exits `0` explicitly so the success line always flushes; interactive TTY behavior is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/reset-password-cli-6261-6258.test.ts` (3). (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(db):** the mass-migration **safety abort** now tells the operator how to bypass it and stops flooding the log ([#6260](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6260)) — after restoring a backup that wiped the migration tracking table, `runMigrations()` threw the abort on every downstream `ensureDbInitialized()`, re-logging the full banner 11+ times, and the message never mentioned the existing `OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS` escape hatch. The abort text now appends a bypass hint (set `OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS=0` in `server.env` / `DATA_DIR/.env`), and a new `MigrationSafetyAbortError` is memoized so repeated calls in the same process throw the same instance and emit a single concise line instead of the full cascade. Regression guard: `tests/unit/migration-safety-abort-6260.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(auth):** importing a **distinct** Codex/ChatGPT OAuth `auth.json` is no longer falsely rejected as "already exists" when it belongs to a different user in the same workspace ([#6301](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6301)). `findExistingCodexConnection` (in `src/lib/oauth/utils/codexAuthImport.ts`) deduped **only** on `providerSpecificData.workspaceId === accountId`, where `accountId` is the shared `chatgpt_account_id`/`tokens.account_id` — so two members of the same ChatGPT Team collapsed onto a single connection (409 `duplicate_account`). The id_token's `https://api.openai.com/auth` claim carries a per-user `chatgpt_user_id` alongside the workspace id (the device-flow path already persisted it as `chatgptUserId`, but the import path did not). Now `parseAndValidateCodexAuth` extracts `userId` (`chatgpt_user_id` → `user_id` → JWT `sub`) into `ParsedCodexAuth`, the create/update paths persist `chatgptUserId` in `providerSpecificData` (mirroring `codex.ts`), and dedup keys on `workspaceId` **AND** `chatgptUserId` — with a backward-compat fallback to legacy accountId-only matching when no stored connection for that workspace records a `chatgptUserId`, so genuinely-same accounts still dedup. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-auth-import-userid-dedup-6301.test.ts` (4). (thanks @anungma)
+
+- **fix(providers):** importing models for the **venice-web** provider no longer fails with a red "Provider venice-web does not support models listing" ([#6269](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6269)). `venice-web` is a web-cookie provider with an executor but no upstream `/v1/models` endpoint and no registry `models`, so the models route fell through to the tail `400`. Mirroring the `jules`/`linkup-search`/`ollama-search` fix (#5569), it now ships a static local catalog entry in `src/lib/providers/staticModels.ts` — seeding the current Venice lineup (`venice-uncensored`, `llama-3.3-70b`, `qwen3-235b`, `qwen3-4b`, `deepseek-r1-671b`; Venice rotates its catalog, see docs.venice.ai/models/overview) — so the route returns `200` with `source:"local_catalog"`, `intentional:true`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/static-models-venice-web-6269.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(api):** the specialty model catalogs (`/v1/embeddings`, `/v1/images`, `/v1/music`, `/v1/videos` model lists) are now derived from the **unified catalog filtered by a predicate** (`getSpecialtyModelsResponse`) instead of ad-hoc per-route logic, so they consistently respect active-credential visibility and stay in sync with the main catalog ([#6303](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6303)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/specialty-model-catalog-routes.test.ts`. (thanks @makcimbx)
+- **fix(api):** the agent-bridge server route now resolves the MITM manager via a **dynamic `import("@/mitm/manager.runtime")`** so Turbopack does not statically pull the stub (or over-bundle the manager), and the agent-skills generator anchors its output base path with `path.join(process.cwd(), …)` so Turbopack's static analyzer stops tracing the whole project root ([#6329](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6329), [#6366](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6366)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/agent-bridge-server-route-dynamic-import.test.ts`. (thanks @Iammilansoni)
+- **fix(api):** internal probes (combo-test, cloud-sync verify) now pick a **management-scoped / allow-all API key** instead of naively grabbing `getApiKeys()[0]` — a restricted `self:usage` first row made the probe fail with "Model X is not allowed for this API key" even when the combo path was healthy (`pickApiKeyForInternalUse` in `src/lib/db/apiKeys.ts`). The API-manager model editor also falls back to `/api/models?all=true` when `/v1/models` is catalog-protected ([#6372](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6372)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/pick-internal-api-key-6372.test.ts`. (thanks @jmengit)
+- **fix(live-ws):** the Live Dashboard WebSocket server now **rejects on bind failure** (e.g. `EADDRINUSE` when the API bridge already holds the port) instead of letting the error surface as an unhandled `error` event that crash-loops the process — the `error` listener is attached to `wss` (not `server`) and releases the EventBus subscription on a failed start ([#6324](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6324)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/live-ws-eaddrinuse-6324.test.ts`. (thanks @vinayakkulkarni)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the Home provider-topology widget now trusts the live provider-metrics snapshot — it uses `topology.errorProvider` and live `activeRequests` directly instead of re-deriving state from a stale `lastErrorAt` or applying a frontend timeout filter, so the topology reflects real-time provider health ([#6322](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6322)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/home-provider-topology-live-state.test.ts`. (thanks @xz-dev)
+- **fix(sse):** strip zero-width markers from streamed **tool-call arguments** — a follow-up to [#5857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5857). That PR removed injected zero-width joiners (U+200D) from streamed assistant text/reasoning but deliberately left tool-call argument JSON byte-exact. The request-side obfuscation (`open-sse/services/claudeCodeObfuscation.ts`) injects ZWJ into agent words — including the temp path inside the Bash tool description — and Claude models copy that verbatim into generated commands, which are delivered as tool-call arguments rather than assistant text. As a result the ZWJ survived and corrupted code blocks (e.g. a temp path rendered with an invisible joiner). Now `open-sse/handlers/responseSanitizer.ts` strips zero-width code points from tool-call argument strings at every emit site (OpenAI non-stream/stream chat `tool_calls` + legacy `function_call`, native Responses `function_call` items, the OpenAI→Responses conversion, and the native Responses streaming `response.function_call_arguments.delta/.done` events). Only zero-width code points are removed; JSON structure and all other bytes stay identical (no parse/restringify), so normal arguments remain byte-exact. Regression guard: 6 new cases in `tests/unit/response-sanitizer.test.ts` (suite 50/50).
+
+- **fix(nodejs):** the default app log path now resolves under `DATA_DIR` (`~/.omniroute/logs/application/app.log`) instead of `process.cwd()` ([#6197](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6197)) — the globally-installed CLI runs from an arbitrary working directory, so anchoring the default to cwd made file logging silently write to (or no-op under) an unrelated directory, contradicting the documented `.env.example` default. `getAppLogFilePath()` now computes the default lazily via the pure `resolveDataDir()` resolver (honours a per-process `DATA_DIR`, no directory-creation side effect); an explicit `APP_LOG_FILE_PATH` still wins. Regression guard: `tests/unit/logenv-datadir-path-6197.test.ts` (3).
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge/`startMitm` no longer aborts in containers/headless when the Antigravity-default DNS step can't write `/etc/hosts` ([#6127](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6127)), and the privileged command's stderr now reaches `app.log` instead of only a bare exit code hitting the toast ([#6198](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6198)). The default DNS step (`addDNSEntry`) was called unguarded while cert install and the two sibling DNS steps were each best-effort — in the runtime Docker image (`USER node`, no `sudo`, read-only `/etc/hosts`) it threw `Command failed with code 1` out of `startMitmInternal` and killed the whole start, discarding the stderr. The three DNS steps are extracted into a best-effort `provisionDnsEntries()` where each failure is logged with the full `err` (stderr included, folded in by `systemCommands.ts`) and never aborts the start. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-dns-graceful-degrade-6127.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** copilot-m365-web now supports the M365 Education "Starter / OfficeWebIncludedCopilot" tier and no longer returns an empty `content:null` stream ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)). Two gaps: (1) `buildWsUrl()` hardcoded the individual-consumer scenario (`OfficeWebPaidConsumerCopilot`, `isEdu=false`) — the EDU tier is now opt-in via `providerSpecificData.tier="edu"`, emitting `scenario=OfficeWebIncludedCopilot`/`isEdu=true` (the individual path is unchanged); (2) the EDU/GPT-5.5 path streams deltas via `arguments[0].writeAtCursor` (incremental) instead of only `messages[].text` (accumulated snapshots), which the parser dropped — a new `accumulateBotContent()` folds both formats, with `type:2 item.result.message` as a last-resort fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-edu-writeatcursor-6210.test.ts` (10). (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo executor now feeds tool results back into the prompt instead of looping ([#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)) — `buildPrompt()` branched only on `system`/`user` and took `userParts.at(-1)`, silently dropping the `assistant{tool_calls}` + `tool{result}` turns the client appended, so the reconstructed prompt was byte-identical to turn 1 and the model re-emitted the same `<tool>` call forever. When a tool exchange is present the full conversation is now serialized, folding each tool result back keyed by its `tool_call_id`; simple conversations keep the legacy shape. Complements the tool_call emission from [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051) (the `kilo-duplicate` label was a false positive — different, sequential defect). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-result-feedback-6220.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** opencode-go/opencode-zen can now synthesize the OpenCode CLI identity headers Cloudflare requires on VPS egress ([#5997](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5997)) — on a datacenter VPS, `opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/chat/completions` 403s (HTML challenge) requests lacking CLI identity, while the reporter's control curl proved that `User-Agent: opencode-cli/1.0.0` + `x-opencode-client: cli` + `x-opencode-project: default` + fresh request/session UUIDs succeed. Opt-in via `OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS=true` (values overridable via `OPENCODE_GO_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_CLIENT`/`OPENCODE_PROJECT`); it fills only headers the client did not already send. Kept **off by default** — the forward-only path is deliberate (fabricating a wrong value risks upstream rejection; a prior dedup regressed with `opencode/local`), so this replaces the fragile local header-injection shim without changing default behavior. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-cli-headers-synthesis-5997.test.ts` (6). (thanks @aleksesipenko)
+- fix(resilience): sticky session affinity now evicts and fails over to another account when the pinned account is exhausted/unavailable (#6219)
+
+- fix(sse): Responses API passthrough now drops internal commentary-phase output before forwarding to clients (gated by RESPONSES_PASSTHROUGH_DROP_COMMENTARY, default on) (#6199)
+
+- **fix(sse):** tool-call function schemas with a root `type: null` are now coerced to `type: "object"` before dispatch ([#6359](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6359)) — clients like the Codex app emit `parameters: { type: null, ... }` for some tools, which OpenAI-compatible upstreams reject with `400 Invalid schema for function '...': schema must be a JSON Schema of 'type: "object"', got 'type: null'`, failing the whole request. `toolSchemaSanitizer` already stripped the null; it now re-adds the mandatory root `"object"` type (and empty `properties`/open `additionalProperties` when absent). Combinator roots (`anyOf`/`oneOf`/`allOf`) and explicit root types are left untouched. Regression guard: 5 new cases in `tests/unit/tool-schema-sanitizer.test.mjs`.
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge no longer fails to start on npm/Electron/VPS installs with "MITM manager stub reached at runtime" ([#6344](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6344)) — v3.8.45 flipped the production bundler default to Turbopack, but `next.config.mjs` aliased `@/mitm/manager` to its Docker-only degraded stub **unconditionally**. That was harmless while Docker (which sets the alias intentionally for #3390 graceful degradation) was the sole Turbopack consumer, but once every artifact built with Turbopack the stub shipped to all non-Docker users and `startMitm` threw on the first Agent-Bridge start. The alias is now opt-in via `OMNIROUTE_MITM_STUB=1` (set only by the Dockerfile) through the shared `scripts/build/mitm-stub-flag.mjs` helper; default builds bundle the real manager. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-stub-alias-6344.test.mjs` (4).
+
+- **fix(proxy):** stop the v3.8.44 proxy regression that leaked the real IP and disabled healthy proxies ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Two coupled defects from the new health scheduler: (1) **IP leak** — when a proxy assigned to a connection was marked `inactive`, resolution fell through to a **direct** egress instead of blocking, exposing the operator's real IP; (2) **over-deactivation** — the sweep flipped a proxy to `inactive` on the **first** failed probe and counted our own 5s timeout / a probe-target `5xx` as the proxy's fault, so healthy paid proxies vanished from egress selection ("my proxies are not being used anymore"). Fix: the sweep decision is extracted into a pure, network-free `decideProxyHealthAction` (`src/lib/proxyHealth/decision.ts`) — by default the health check now **only counts/logs and never downgrades status** (a proxy is downgraded/removed only with `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE=true`, after `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE_AFTER` **consecutive** conclusive failures); probes are classified tri-state so an inconclusive result (our timeout, or a `5xx` from the probe target) never penalizes the proxy, and the probe timeout is raised 5s→15s. Separately, `safeResolveProxy` now **fails closed** via the existing policy: a connection whose assigned proxy is dead is blocked instead of leaking direct (`hasBlockingProxyAssignment`), honoring the explicit `proxy off` toggles and the `PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true` opt-out. Existing proxies stuck `inactive` by the old behavior need a one-time manual re-activate (the operator owns proxy status). Regression guards: `tests/unit/proxy-health-decide-action-6246.test.ts`, `tests/unit/proxy-assigned-unavailable-6246.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(proxy):** make "Test All" read-only and add bulk enable/disable ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Complements the core fail-closed / scheduler fix (#6296) with the two remaining reporter asks. (1) The **"Test All" button** (`POST /api/settings/proxies/auto-test`) used to flip a proxy to `inactive` on a failed reachability probe; since the egress selector excludes `inactive` proxies, a flaky probe (an unreachable `httpbin.org`, a proxy that blocks `HEAD`, or a slow paid proxy) silently disabled every proxy that failed — "Test All" is now **read-only by default** (only the operator sets a proxy active/inactive; opt back into the legacy test-and-set with `PROXY_HEALTH_AUTO_DEACTIVATE=true`). (2) Adds a **bulk enable/disable** proxies endpoint + toolbar action (`POST /api/settings/proxies/batch-activate`) so an operator can re-activate proxies in one click. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-health-6246.test.ts`. (thanks @tenshiak)
+
+- **chatcore (tools): stop the default 128-tool cap from silently dropping opencode's `task`/MCP tools.** opencode (used as an MCP/agent host) sends a large tool list; when it exceeds the speculative `MAX_TOOLS_LIMIT` (128) default, `truncateToolList` did a blind `tools.slice(0, 128)`, dropping every tool past index 128 — including opencode's built-in `task` tool (subagent launch) and many MCP tools, so models routed through OmniRoute could no longer spawn subagents or reach part of their tools. The cap exists to avoid upstream `400`s for providers with real hard limits (e.g. grok-cli 200), so it is kept for those: detection of the opencode client (`isOpencodeClient` — any `x-opencode-*` header, or `opencode` in the user-agent) now only bypasses the **speculative 128 default**, never a known provider ceiling. Precedence is explicit — a proactive/detected provider limit always truncates (even for opencode); otherwise opencode forwards its full tool list; otherwise the unchanged 128 default applies to every other client. Refactors `getEffectiveToolLimit` into `getKnownToolLimit(provider) ?? DEFAULT_LIMIT` (byte-identical for existing callers) and fixes a cosmetic debug-log that reported the truncated count instead of the original. Regression guard: `tests/unit/tool-limit-detector.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the macOS MITM-cert install check now matches the system keychain again. `security find-certificate -a -Z` prints the SHA-1 as a colon-less hex string, but the installed-check compared it against `getCertFingerprint()`'s colon-separated form, so the substring match never hit — the cert was reported as not-installed and re-prompted for the sudo install on every run. Fingerprints are now normalized (colons stripped, upper-cased) on both sides via the extracted `macCertOutputHasFingerprint` helper. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-cert-mac-fingerprint.test.ts`. ([#6204](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6204), closes [#6134](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6134) — thanks @rianonehub)
+
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/messages/count_tokens` now counts `tool_use`, `tool_result` and `thinking` content blocks (and array-form `system` prompts) in the local-estimation path, instead of only `text`. Real agentic conversations keep ~95% of their tokens inside tool results; the previous estimate returned near-zero for them, which silently broke Claude Code's auto-compaction (context grew past the window with no compaction until the upstream API rejected the request). The real provider-side count path is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/messages-count-tokens-route.test.ts`. ([#6221](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6221) — thanks @luweiCN)
+
+- **fix(antigravity):** strip a trailing assistant prefill turn for Vertex Claude models to avoid upstream 400s ([#6114](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6114)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-claude-prefill-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(security):** the mutable cloud-agent routes (`/api/cloud/credentials/update`, `/api/cloud/models/alias`) now require management auth instead of being treated as public. They were classified as public API routes, so a request without management credentials could update stored cloud-agent credentials and model aliases. They are removed from the public-route set, classified as management routes in the authz pipeline, and gated by `requireManagementAuth`; cloud **read**/auth routes stay public. Regression guards: `tests/unit/cloud-write-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts`, `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6233](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6233) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+
+- **refactor(dashboard):** extract the onboarding-wizard "Open provider details" link target into a pure, unit-tested `buildProviderDetailsHref(connection)` helper. The wizard already routes by `connection.id` (the node UUID) rather than the provider category slug (#6144/#6145); this hardens that behavior behind a tested helper that guards a missing id/connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-onboarding-href.test.ts`. ([#6166](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6166) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+
+- **fix(security):** the doubao synthetic device-id generator now derives its digits via an unbiased crypto-random draw (rejection sampling over `crypto.randomBytes()`) instead of a `% 10` reduction, closing a CodeQL `js/biased-cryptographic-random` finding.
+- **fix(agentSkills):** the GitHub-skills generator now resolves `outputDir` to an absolute path before writing, fixing a regression introduced by #6366 (relative-to-cwd base path) that could write generated skill files to the wrong directory.
+- **fix(security):** `/api/keys/{id}/devices` now checks the HTTP method before auth/validation, returning a `405` for non-GET/DELETE verbs instead of a misleading `401`/`500` (closes a `dast-smoke` QUERY-method finding).
+- **fix(quality):** clear the last 2 heavy quality-gate reds on the release tip (cycle pre-flight).
+- **fix(mitm):** the test suite and CI can never mutate the OS trust store — `OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1` is set globally for tests/CI so `installCert`/`uninstallCert`/`installTproxyCa` skip the privileged OS dispatch ([#6310](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6310); full detail is under the [3.8.45] section below — this branch received it via the parallel-cycle sync-back).
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/github-skills` now Zod-validates its request body; documented the new quality-gate env vars and pinned the merge-integrity GitHub Actions to a commit SHA.
+- **fix(skills):** generate the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry and align the agent-skills catalog-count tests (follow-up to #6186).
+- **fix(quality):** clear the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors and make `validate-release-green` suppressions-aware.
+- **fix(security):** proxy-pool `random` rotation now selects via `crypto.randomInt` instead of `Math.random` — silences the post-release CodeQL `js/insecure-randomness` alerts (#698/#699) that flagged `Math.random` flowing into the selected proxy's credentials. Load-balancing selection is not a secret, but the crypto source is unbiased and clears the alert at the origin (#6365 follow-up).
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **i18n(it):** add 118 missing Italian (`it`) translations (net-additive — no existing keys dropped, valid JSON), improving Italian UI coverage. ([#6212](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6212) — thanks @serverless83)
+- **chore(providers):** remove deprecated **MiMo V2** model entries from the catalogs (xiaomi-mimo, opencode-go, zenmux-free, audio TTS) — the upstream V2 line is superseded by MiMo V2.5; drops `mimo-v2-tts`, `mimo-v2-pro`, `mimo-v2-omni`, `mimo-v2-flash`, `mimo-v2-flash-free` and realigns the provider-catalog tests. ([#6248](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6248) — thanks @backryun)
+- **chore(release):** ~50 commits on this branch are v3.8.45 pre-flight/hardening fixes and CI-perf work that landed here via the parallel-cycle sync-back (`sync-next-cycle.mjs`, Hard Rule #21) **after** the `v3.8.45` git tag was cut, and are already fully documented under the **[3.8.45]** section below — listed here only so the per-cycle commit-coverage check (`npm run release:uncovered`) doesn't flag them as gaps. Provider/catalog/UX/backend fixes: #6041, #6078, #6108, #6135, #6148, #6149, #6154, #6158, #6161, #6162, #6163, #6164, #6165, #6170, #6177, #6178, #6181, #6186, #6187, #6191, #6193, #6194, #6195, #6200, #6205, #6208, #6209, #6211, #6213, #6223, #6224, #6225, #6226, #6227, #6228, #6229, #6230, #6235, #6291, #6292. CI/release-pipeline work: #6167, #6203, #6214, #6215, #6218, #6273, #6275, #6283, #6284, #6285, #6300, #6305.
+- **chore(release):** additional zero-ref release-cycle plumbing on this branch, kept out of `release:uncovered` on purpose (no `#N` in the commit subject to cite): opening the v3.8.46 cycle, opening/closing the v3.8.45 cycle, the finalized [3.8.45] CHANGELOG i18n sync-back to 42 mirrors, the v3.8.45 cognitive/cyclomatic and file-size drift rebaselines, ESLint stale-suppression pruning (4,273 → 4,233), and clearing test-masking/docs-all pre-flight reds for v3.8.45.
+
+### ⚡ Performance & Infrastructure
+
+- **perf(release-green):** the pre-flight validator (`scripts/quality/validate-release-green.mjs`) now runs its 4 slow suites (unit / vitest / integration / pack-artifact) **concurrently** via `Promise.all` — pre-flight wall time drops from ~the sum of the suites to ~the slowest one (~30min saved per round; Phase 0 was the nº1 bottleneck of the v3.8.45 release benchmark, 2h54 of 6h34 e2e). Guard: `tests/unit/validate-release-green.test.ts` ("runs the slow suites CONCURRENTLY"). ([#6319](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6319))
+- **fix(ci):** `scripts/release/sync-next-cycle.mjs` — two defects found live in its first production run (v3.8.45 Phase 5): (1) the `git()` helper's default 1 MiB `maxBuffer` crashed with `ENOBUFS` on `git show origin/main:CHANGELOG.md` (the CHANGELOG alone is >1 MiB) — widened to 64 MiB; (2) the i18n resync only propagated the `[NEXT]` (TBD) section, leaving the just-shipped finalized section as "— TBD" in all 42 mirrors — it now also syncs `[prevVersion]` bounded by the heading below it (new exported pure helper `versionAfter`). Guards: +5 tests in `tests/unit/sync-next-cycle.test.ts` (8/8). ([#6327](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6327))
+- **test(ci):** concurrency-sensitive flaky tests are **quarantined into a serial pass** (`tests/unit/serial/`, `--test-concurrency=1`, appended to every unit runner incl. sharded variants — the serial pass is sharded too so concurrent shard jobs never self-collide). Initial set: `glm-coding-plan-monthly-3580`, `quota-division-blocks`, `provider-health-autopilot`, `combo-health-autopilot` — the class behind the ~28min CI wedges/re-runs (two live 1h+ wedges cancelled during this PR's own validation). Discovery + TIA gates track the new glob; systemic root cause (async logger writing after teardown) tracked in [#6360](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6360). Guard: `tests/unit/test-serial-quarantine.test.ts` (4). ([#6347](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6347))

+## [3.8.45] — 2026-07-06
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(providers):** add **Yuanbao (web)** as a cookie-session provider ([#6196](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6196)) — `yuanbao-web` (Tencent Yuanbao, `yuanbao.tencent.com`) with cookie-only auth (`hy_user`/`hy_token` + public agent id), SSE→OpenAI translation incl. `reasoning_content`, exposing DeepSeek V3/R1 + Hunyuan / Hunyuan-T1. Regression guard: `tests/unit/providers-yuanbao-web.test.ts`. `together-web` was **deferred** (no verifiable web-session endpoint — needs a captured request) and `huggingchat-web` **dropped** (the existing `huggingchat` already is a web-cookie provider). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** route the built-in **agentrouter** through the dynamic Claude-Code wire image ([#6056](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6056)) — a small static allow-set (`CC_WIRE_IMAGE_BUILTINS` in `open-sse/services/ccWireImageBuiltins.ts`), consulted by `isClaudeCodeCompatible` / `isClaudeCodeCompatibleProvider` / `applyFingerprint`, makes agentrouter adopt the CC wire-image headers + fingerprint **while guarding the CC baseUrl/auth branches** so it keeps its own registry `baseUrl` and `x-api-key` auth. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentrouter-cc-wire-image.test.ts` (asserts the wire image is applied AND agentrouter's baseUrl/auth are preserved). Live WAF-acceptance against agentrouter.org is a VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18).
+- **feat(providers):** **bulk-add API keys for Cloudflare Workers AI** ([#6174](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6174)) — `cloudflare-ai` is removed from the bulk-add exclusion list and the bulk parser gains a 3-field `name|accountId|apiKey` mode; the bulk route now builds a **per-entry** `providerSpecificData` so each key carries its own `accountId` (fixing the previous shared-object reuse), and both the create + key-validation paths receive it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/bulk-api-key-parser-cloudflare.test.ts`. (thanks @muflifadla38)
+- **feat(dashboard):** routing/settings UX clarity ([#6147](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6147)) — (1) weighted combos show the **effective routing share %** next to each weight when weights don't sum to 100 (`WeightTotalBar.tsx`); (2) the status widget's user-facing **"Cloud Sync" label is renamed** to "Remote Settings Sync" (`CloudSyncStatus.tsx`; internal ids/state untouched); (3) built-in providers gain an **opt-in advanced base-URL override** (`isBaseUrlOverrideEligibleProvider`, hidden behind an "Advanced" toggle, reusing the existing `providerSpecificData.baseUrl` persistence — not globally widened). Regression guard: `tests/unit/routing-settings-ux-6147.test.ts`.
+- **feat(combo):** add an option to **disable session stickiness**, per-combo or globally — round-robin / random combos can rotate to a different connection on every request instead of pinning a whole conversation to one connection by its first-message hash. Resolution precedence per-combo `config.disableSessionStickiness` → global `settings.disableSessionStickiness` → default `false` (preserves the #3825 prompt-cache/504 fix); gates **both** stickiness call sites in `open-sse/services/combo.ts`. Exposed as a global toggle (Combo Defaults) and a per-combo Inherit/on/off control. ([#6168](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6168)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-disable-session-stickiness.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+- **feat(docker):** add the `OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO` env flag for root-less / user-namespaced deployments — the MITM cert-trust command path (`resolveSudoSpawn` in `src/mitm/systemCommands.ts`) now strips the leading `sudo` when the flag is truthy, in addition to the existing root / sudo-missing cases, so the Proxy Agent runs without `sudo` (the operator trusts the CA manually, e.g. via `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`). Argv-array `spawn` preserved — no shell interpolation (Hard Rule #13). ([#6122](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6122)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-systemCommands-no-sudo.test.ts`. (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Requesty** as an OpenAI-compatible gateway provider (BYOK, base `https://router.requesty.ai/v1`, ~200 free requests/day) — wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/requesty/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/gateways.ts`). ([#6120](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6120)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/requesty-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add **configured-only / available-only filters** to the Free Provider Rankings page ([#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150)) — hide providers you haven't configured, or whose connections are all rate-limited / out of quota, via server-side query params (`?configuredOnly` / `?availableOnly` on `GET /api/free-provider-rankings`) backed by a testable lib helper reusing the in-process connection state (no Redis). Both filters default off, so the default view is unchanged; this supersedes the earlier client-side "Configured Only" toggle (#6245) with an available-only dimension and unit-tested logic. Regression guard: `tests/unit/freeProviderRankings-filters.test.ts`.
+- **feat(rankings):** add a **'Configured Only'** filter to the Free Provider Rankings page, so the table can be narrowed to just the providers you have configured connections for (with an empty-state hint when none are configured). New `en.json` keys and a pure filter helper covered by `tests/unit/free-provider-rankings-configured-filter.test.ts`. ([#6245](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6245), closes [#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150) — thanks @Iammilansoni)
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the test suite and CI can never mutate the OS trust store again — `OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1` (set by the global test setup and all CI workflows) makes `installCert`/`uninstallCert`/`installTproxyCa` skip the privileged OS dispatch while preserving the #4546 environment-skip contract. Root cause of the self-hosted runner incident: a cert-flow integration test installed a 105-byte fake PEM into `/usr/local/share/ca-certificates`, breaking ALL system TLS on the VM. Regression guard: `tests/unit/system-trust-test-guard.test.ts`. ([#6310](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6310))
+- **fix(security):** `/api/keys/{id}/devices` answers a clean method-first **405** for undocumented HTTP methods (e.g. the new `QUERY`) via a dedicated `http-method-guard` rule — the auth layer was answering 401 first, failing schemathesis's unsupported-methods check. Same pattern as the v3.8.44 TRACE fix. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dast-method-not-allowed.test.ts`.
+- **fix(combo):** the #6216 empty-stream failover is restricted to **truly empty bodies** (zero bytes — the Gemini HTTP-200-empty case), restoring the #3399/#3685 pass-through contracts for `[DONE]`-terminated empty streams and incomplete Claude lifecycles. New guard: `#5976 truly EMPTY streaming body → invalid for combo failover` (87/87 across both suites).
+- **fix(combo):** 5 streaming-path fixes — locked-stream 500, error-frame-only-if-no-content, Gemini `MALFORMED_RESPONSE`→content_filter failover, correlationId substring search, per-model-500 lockout skip + request-logger UI detail. Maintainer follow-up: `releaseQualityClone` cancels the abandoned quality-check tee branch (per-request memory) + regression test. ([#6216](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6216) — thanks @hartmark)
+- **fix(skills):** generate the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry (the #6186 catalog addition never ran the generator — 8 integration assertions split between old/new counts) and align the agent-skills catalog counts across integration + unit suites (43 = 23 API + 20 CLI; 44 with config).
+- **fix(a2a):** finish the #6186 catalog-count update — `listCapabilities` metadata reported `coverage.api.total: 22` (type literal + value) and `SkillCoverageSchema` pinned `z.literal(22)`, so the schema would REJECT the correct runtime value with 23 API skills. All three aligned to 23.
+- **fix(github-skills):** add a missing import, unit tests and a settings JSON-parse fix for the GitHub agent-skill discovery/import flow. ([#6186](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6186) — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/github-skills` validates its body with a Zod schema (`validateBody`) instead of blind `request.json()` destructuring — a non-array `targets` would crash `.map`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/github-skills-route-validation.test.ts`.
+- **fix(docker):** add `id=` to the BuildKit cache mounts so strict builders (e.g. buildkitd with strict frontend parsing) accept the Dockerfile. ([#6291](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6291) — thanks @karimalsalah)
+- **fix(oauth):** register `zed` in the OAuth `PROVIDERS` map (fixes "Unknown provider" on the Zed sign-in flow) ([#6078](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6078) — thanks @anki1kr), and align `zed` in `OAUTH_PROVIDER_IDS` + the config enum after the merge.
+- **fix(doubao-web):** switch the Doubao web provider to the Dola global endpoint. ([#6235](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6235) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(doctor):** resolve two false-positive WARNs in the doctor diagnostics ([#6163](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6163), closes [#6162](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6162) — thanks @arssnndr)
+- **fix(providers):** refresh the GitHub Copilot model catalog to the current upstream set. ([#6154](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6154) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(providers):** correct the Kiro model catalog to real upstream ids — fabricated `claude-opus-4.7`/`claude-sonnet-4.6` entries removed, real `claude-sonnet-5`/`claude-sonnet-4.5`/`claude-haiku-4.5` kept. ([#6170](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6170))
+- **feat(sse):** surface Kiro adaptive-thinking reasoning frames as `reasoning_content` in the OpenAI-shaped stream. ([#6213](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6213) — thanks @VXNCXNX)
+- **fix(cli):** use `OMNIROUTE_SERVER_HOST` instead of the POSIX auto-set `HOSTNAME` for the bind address (fixes wrong bind on POSIX shells that export HOSTNAME). ([#6195](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6195), closes [#6194](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6194) — thanks @Theadd)
+- **feat(provider):** add Claude 5 Sonnet to the Claude Web provider catalog. ([#6209](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6209), closes [#6200](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6200) — thanks @Iammilansoni)
+- **fix(providers):** add `nvidia` to `PROVIDER_TOOL_LIMITS` (1536) to prevent silent tool-list truncation. ([#6177](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6177) — thanks @LuisAlejandroVega)
+- **fix(translator):** strip the `reasoning` param for nvidia `z-ai/glm-5.2` (upstream 400s on it). ([#6181](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6181) — thanks @kanztu)
+- **fix(dashboard):** providers page gains a data-timeout guard and the live-WS standalone wiring (no more indefinite spinner when the data fetch stalls). ([#6211](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6211))
+- **fix(sse):** surface the ChatGPT-web image silent-drop as an accurate error instead of an empty success. ([#6208](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6208))
+- **fix(cline):** force upstream streaming for Cline/ClinePass (streaming-only API) — non-stream client requests are served from the buffered SSE. ([#6165](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6165))
+- **fix(dashboard):** remove the always-on Auto-Routing (combo) banner from the home page — it did not reflect live routing state and reappeared on every fresh browser. Replacement guard: `tests/unit/home-no-autorouting-banner.test.ts`. ([#6164](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6164))
+- **fix(dashboard):** stop a model-test error from freezing the page (React #31 object-as-child toast) — errors go through `extractApiErrorMessage`. ([#6161](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6161))
+- **fix(oauth):** extract the keychain-import-only guard to its own module, restoring the oauth file-size freeze. ([#6158](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6158))
+
+- **fix(sse):** strip zero-width markers from streamed **tool-call arguments** — a follow-up to [#5857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5857). That PR removed injected zero-width joiners (U+200D) from streamed assistant text/reasoning but deliberately left tool-call argument JSON byte-exact. The request-side obfuscation (`open-sse/services/claudeCodeObfuscation.ts`) injects ZWJ into agent words — including the temp path inside the Bash tool description — and Claude models copy that verbatim into generated commands, which are delivered as tool-call arguments rather than assistant text. As a result the ZWJ survived and corrupted code blocks (e.g. a temp path rendered with an invisible joiner). Now `open-sse/handlers/responseSanitizer.ts` strips zero-width code points from tool-call argument strings at every emit site (OpenAI non-stream/stream chat `tool_calls` + legacy `function_call`, native Responses `function_call` items, the OpenAI→Responses conversion, and the native Responses streaming `response.function_call_arguments.delta/.done` events). Only zero-width code points are removed; JSON structure and all other bytes stay identical (no parse/restringify), so normal arguments remain byte-exact. Regression guard: 6 new cases in `tests/unit/response-sanitizer.test.ts` (suite 50/50).
+
+- **fix(nodejs):** the default app log path now resolves under `DATA_DIR` (`~/.omniroute/logs/application/app.log`) instead of `process.cwd()` ([#6197](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6197)) — the globally-installed CLI runs from an arbitrary working directory, so anchoring the default to cwd made file logging silently write to (or no-op under) an unrelated directory, contradicting the documented `.env.example` default. `getAppLogFilePath()` now computes the default lazily via the pure `resolveDataDir()` resolver (honours a per-process `DATA_DIR`, no directory-creation side effect); an explicit `APP_LOG_FILE_PATH` still wins. Regression guard: `tests/unit/logenv-datadir-path-6197.test.ts` (3). (root cause independently diagnosed by @subhansh-dev in [#6298](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6298) — thanks!)
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge/`startMitm` no longer aborts in containers/headless when the Antigravity-default DNS step can't write `/etc/hosts` ([#6127](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6127)), and the privileged command's stderr now reaches `app.log` instead of only a bare exit code hitting the toast ([#6198](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6198)). The default DNS step (`addDNSEntry`) was called unguarded while cert install and the two sibling DNS steps were each best-effort — in the runtime Docker image (`USER node`, no `sudo`, read-only `/etc/hosts`) it threw `Command failed with code 1` out of `startMitmInternal` and killed the whole start, discarding the stderr. The three DNS steps are extracted into a best-effort `provisionDnsEntries()` where each failure is logged with the full `err` (stderr included, folded in by `systemCommands.ts`) and never aborts the start. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-dns-graceful-degrade-6127.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** copilot-m365-web now supports the M365 Education "Starter / OfficeWebIncludedCopilot" tier and no longer returns an empty `content:null` stream ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)). Two gaps: (1) `buildWsUrl()` hardcoded the individual-consumer scenario (`OfficeWebPaidConsumerCopilot`, `isEdu=false`) — the EDU tier is now opt-in via `providerSpecificData.tier="edu"`, emitting `scenario=OfficeWebIncludedCopilot`/`isEdu=true` (the individual path is unchanged); (2) the EDU/GPT-5.5 path streams deltas via `arguments[0].writeAtCursor` (incremental) instead of only `messages[].text` (accumulated snapshots), which the parser dropped — a new `accumulateBotContent()` folds both formats, with `type:2 item.result.message` as a last-resort fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-edu-writeatcursor-6210.test.ts` (10). (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo executor now feeds tool results back into the prompt instead of looping ([#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)) — `buildPrompt()` branched only on `system`/`user` and took `userParts.at(-1)`, silently dropping the `assistant{tool_calls}` + `tool{result}` turns the client appended, so the reconstructed prompt was byte-identical to turn 1 and the model re-emitted the same `<tool>` call forever. When a tool exchange is present the full conversation is now serialized, folding each tool result back keyed by its `tool_call_id`; simple conversations keep the legacy shape. Complements the tool_call emission from [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051) (the `kilo-duplicate` label was a false positive — different, sequential defect). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-result-feedback-6220.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** opencode-go/opencode-zen can now synthesize the OpenCode CLI identity headers Cloudflare requires on VPS egress ([#5997](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5997)) — on a datacenter VPS, `opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/chat/completions` 403s (HTML challenge) requests lacking CLI identity, while the reporter's control curl proved that `User-Agent: opencode-cli/1.0.0` + `x-opencode-client: cli` + `x-opencode-project: default` + fresh request/session UUIDs succeed. Opt-in via `OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS=true` (values overridable via `OPENCODE_GO_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_CLIENT`/`OPENCODE_PROJECT`); it fills only headers the client did not already send. Kept **off by default** — the forward-only path is deliberate (fabricating a wrong value risks upstream rejection; a prior dedup regressed with `opencode/local`), so this replaces the fragile local header-injection shim without changing default behavior. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-cli-headers-synthesis-5997.test.ts` (6). (thanks @aleksesipenko)
+- fix(resilience): sticky session affinity now evicts and fails over to another account when the pinned account is exhausted/unavailable (#6219)
+
+- fix(sse): Responses API passthrough now drops internal commentary-phase output before forwarding to clients (gated by RESPONSES_PASSTHROUGH_DROP_COMMENTARY, default on) (#6199)
+
+- **fix(proxy):** stop the v3.8.44 proxy regression that leaked the real IP and disabled healthy proxies ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Two coupled defects from the new health scheduler: (1) **IP leak** — when a proxy assigned to a connection was marked `inactive`, resolution fell through to a **direct** egress instead of blocking, exposing the operator's real IP; (2) **over-deactivation** — the sweep flipped a proxy to `inactive` on the **first** failed probe and counted our own 5s timeout / a probe-target `5xx` as the proxy's fault, so healthy paid proxies vanished from egress selection ("my proxies are not being used anymore"). Fix: the sweep decision is extracted into a pure, network-free `decideProxyHealthAction` (`src/lib/proxyHealth/decision.ts`) — by default the health check now **only counts/logs and never downgrades status** (a proxy is downgraded/removed only with `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE=true`, after `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE_AFTER` **consecutive** conclusive failures); probes are classified tri-state so an inconclusive result (our timeout, or a `5xx` from the probe target) never penalizes the proxy, and the probe timeout is raised 5s→15s. Separately, `safeResolveProxy` now **fails closed** via the existing policy: a connection whose assigned proxy is dead is blocked instead of leaking direct (`hasBlockingProxyAssignment`), honoring the explicit `proxy off` toggles and the `PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true` opt-out. Existing proxies stuck `inactive` by the old behavior need a one-time manual re-activate (the operator owns proxy status). Regression guards: `tests/unit/proxy-health-decide-action-6246.test.ts`, `tests/unit/proxy-assigned-unavailable-6246.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(proxy):** make "Test All" read-only and add bulk enable/disable ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Complements the core fail-closed / scheduler fix (#6296) with the two remaining reporter asks. (1) The **"Test All" button** (`POST /api/settings/proxies/auto-test`) used to flip a proxy to `inactive` on a failed reachability probe; since the egress selector excludes `inactive` proxies, a flaky probe (an unreachable `httpbin.org`, a proxy that blocks `HEAD`, or a slow paid proxy) silently disabled every proxy that failed — "Test All" is now **read-only by default** (only the operator sets a proxy active/inactive; opt back into the legacy test-and-set with `PROXY_HEALTH_AUTO_DEACTIVATE=true`). (2) Adds a **bulk enable/disable** proxies endpoint + toolbar action (`POST /api/settings/proxies/batch-activate`) so an operator can re-activate proxies in one click. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-health-6246.test.ts`. (thanks @tenshiak)
+
+- **chatcore (tools): stop the default 128-tool cap from silently dropping opencode's `task`/MCP tools.** opencode (used as an MCP/agent host) sends a large tool list; when it exceeds the speculative `MAX_TOOLS_LIMIT` (128) default, `truncateToolList` did a blind `tools.slice(0, 128)`, dropping every tool past index 128 — including opencode's built-in `task` tool (subagent launch) and many MCP tools, so models routed through OmniRoute could no longer spawn subagents or reach part of their tools. The cap exists to avoid upstream `400`s for providers with real hard limits (e.g. grok-cli 200), so it is kept for those: detection of the opencode client (`isOpencodeClient` — any `x-opencode-*` header, or `opencode` in the user-agent) now only bypasses the **speculative 128 default**, never a known provider ceiling. Precedence is explicit — a proactive/detected provider limit always truncates (even for opencode); otherwise opencode forwards its full tool list; otherwise the unchanged 128 default applies to every other client. Refactors `getEffectiveToolLimit` into `getKnownToolLimit(provider) ?? DEFAULT_LIMIT` (byte-identical for existing callers) and fixes a cosmetic debug-log that reported the truncated count instead of the original. Regression guard: `tests/unit/tool-limit-detector.test.ts`. ([#6193](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6193) — thanks @DKotsyuba)
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the macOS MITM-cert install check now matches the system keychain again. `security find-certificate -a -Z` prints the SHA-1 as a colon-less hex string, but the installed-check compared it against `getCertFingerprint()`'s colon-separated form, so the substring match never hit — the cert was reported as not-installed and re-prompted for the sudo install on every run. Fingerprints are now normalized (colons stripped, upper-cased) on both sides via the extracted `macCertOutputHasFingerprint` helper. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-cert-mac-fingerprint.test.ts`. ([#6204](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6204), closes [#6134](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6134) — thanks @rianonehub)
+
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/messages/count_tokens` now counts `tool_use`, `tool_result` and `thinking` content blocks (and array-form `system` prompts) in the local-estimation path, instead of only `text`. Real agentic conversations keep ~95% of their tokens inside tool results; the previous estimate returned near-zero for them, which silently broke Claude Code's auto-compaction (context grew past the window with no compaction until the upstream API rejected the request). The real provider-side count path is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/messages-count-tokens-route.test.ts`. ([#6221](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6221) — thanks @luweiCN)
+
+- **fix(antigravity):** strip a trailing assistant prefill turn for Vertex Claude models to avoid upstream 400s ([#6114](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6114)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-claude-prefill-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(security):** the mutable cloud-agent routes (`/api/cloud/credentials/update`, `/api/cloud/models/alias`) now require management auth instead of being treated as public. They were classified as public API routes, so a request without management credentials could update stored cloud-agent credentials and model aliases. They are removed from the public-route set, classified as management routes in the authz pipeline, and gated by `requireManagementAuth`; cloud **read**/auth routes stay public. Regression guards: `tests/unit/cloud-write-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts`, `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6233](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6233) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+
+- **refactor(dashboard):** extract the onboarding-wizard "Open provider details" link target into a pure, unit-tested `buildProviderDetailsHref(connection)` helper. The wizard already routes by `connection.id` (the node UUID) rather than the provider category slug (#6144/#6145); this hardens that behavior behind a tested helper that guards a missing id/connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-onboarding-href.test.ts`. ([#6166](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6166) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(api):** relay worker now binds the SSRF guard to a stable `const` name so minified standalone (Docker) builds resolve it ([#6149](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6149)) — the Vercel/Deno relay generators embedded the shared `resolveRelayTarget` guard as a bare `${fn.toString()}` declaration while the worker body called the hardcoded literal name; SWC minification mangled the source function's name, so the deployed worker defined `<mangled>` but still called `resolveRelayTarget` → `ReferenceError`. Both templates now emit `const resolveRelayTarget = ${fn.toString()};` (the const name is a template literal, immune to minification). Regression guard: `tests/unit/relay-minified-fn-6149.test.ts` (4). (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **fix(providers):** refresh the stale NVIDIA NIM model registry — drop EOL `z-ai/glm-5.1`, add `z-ai/glm-5.2` and `nvidia/nemotron-3-ultra-550b-a55b` ([#6108](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6108)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-nim-registry-6108.test.ts`. (thanks @andrea-kingautomation)
+- **fix(backend):** GPT-family (codex) models now report a distinct `max_input_tokens` (272000) below their 400K `context_length` via an optional `maxInputTokens` on `RegistryModel`, so coding agents auto-compact correctly instead of overflowing the real input cap ([#6191](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6191)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gpt-max-input-tokens-6191.test.ts`. (thanks @luweiCN)
+- **fix(backend):** call logs now record a **reasoning source/char-count** (migration 116, `reasoning_source`/`reasoning_chars`) for models that emit `reasoning_content`/`<think>` but report zero reasoning tokens in usage, so `tokens_reasoning` no longer silently under-represents reasoning — cost math is unchanged (the priced `tokens_reasoning` stays usage-derived) ([#6187](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6187)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/reasoning-token-source-6187.test.ts`. (thanks @andrea-kingautomation)
+- **fix(auth):** a stale/changed `STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY` now surfaces as a clear **424 `storage_encryption_stale`** ("re-enter the API key") instead of a misleading "Auth failed: 401" — the connection's ciphertext failed to decrypt and was coerced to an empty Bearer, hiding the real cause ([#6148](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6148)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/decrypt-stale-key-hint-6148.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(backend):** memory injection now keeps the injected system message **first** for providers that require it (via a `PROVIDERS_SYSTEM_MUST_BE_FIRST` capability), instead of the cache-safe mid-array splice that made strict providers reject the request with a 400 ([#6135](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6135)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/memory-system-first-6135.test.ts`.
+- **fix(services):** 9Router embed panel no longer 404s (optional catch-all route) and the supervisor probes the port before spawning to avoid raw EADDRINUSE ([#6205](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6205)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/ninerouter-embed-port-6205.test.ts`, `tests/unit/services/ServiceSupervisor.test.ts`. (thanks @jonlwheat2-gif)
+- fix(mcp): forward the MCP request `extra` context through static tool loops so stdio callers keep their scope/identity ([#6178](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6178))
+
+### ⚡ Performance & Infrastructure
+
+- **perf(test):** test-suite loader quick wins ([#6214](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6214)) — the 19 test scripts switch `--import tsx` → `--import tsx/esm` (the repo is pure ESM; the unused CJS hook cost ~1.3s per test process × 2,462 processes — CI fast-path unit shards dropped 14.8→7.5 min, −49%), tsx bumped to ^4.23.0 (tsx#809 startup-regression fix), **37 orphan `.test.mjs` files (224 cases) recovered** into the canonical glob (they matched no runner and never ran in any CI job; `check:test-discovery` now scans `.mjs` too), and ci.yml/quality.yml unit jobs now call the canonical npm script `test:unit:ci:shard` (single source of truth — closes two silent drifts: missing `setupPolyfill` import in CI and `memory/`+`usage/` dirs absent from the fast-path glob). `tests/unit/dashboard/**` keeps the full tsx hook in its own invocation (`@lobehub/icons` es/ build internally `require()`s ESM-syntax files).
+- **ci:** heavy-pipeline dedup ([#6215](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6215)) — the release-PR pipeline ran the unit suite 4× per sync (95 jobs, 208 machine-min; the v3.8.44 cycle fired 123 such runs, 88 cancelled). Now: Node 24/26 compat matrices move to a daily `nightly-compat.yml` (−28%/run; resolves the active release branch, opens a tracking issue on failure), coverage is collected inside the unit shards themselves via c8/`NODE_V8_COVERAGE` (−18%/run; the Coverage Shard ×8 matrix is gone — nodejs/node's own CI pattern), the ~40-job per-language i18n matrix becomes 1 job (the account has 20 concurrent-job slots total), and heavy jobs skip **draft** PRs — paired with `/generate-release` now opening the living release PR as draft (flipped ready at the new Phase 0a.0a), killing the per-merge churn for the whole cycle. Validated by a full `workflow_dispatch` of the new pipeline: 35 jobs, 0 failures, 23 min, merged coverage 80.16% (> ratchet baseline).
+- **feat(quality):** no-new-warnings per PR ([#6218](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6218)) — native ESLint bulk suppressions (≥9.24) freeze the pre-existing debt (476 files / 4,273 violations in `config/quality/eslint-suppressions.json`); `npm run lint`, lint-staged (pre-commit) and a new fork-aware `lint-guard` job in quality.yml all run suppressions-aware, so a NEW warning goes red in the PR that introduces it instead of accruing invisibly (+41/+88 per cycle) and being blind-rebaselined at release. 3 warn rules promoted to error in `src/**` (`react-hooks/exhaustive-deps`, `@next/next/no-img-element`, `import/no-anonymous-default-export`); `collect-metrics` measures under the frozen baseline (ratchet metric = net-NEW debt; baseline tightened 4,279→0 in-PR per require-tighten); fork PRs run report-only (contributors are never blocked — the maintainer campaigns fix via co-authorship). Baseline stock shrinks via `--prune-suppressions` at release reconciliation.
+- **ci:** test jobs no longer wait on the Build gate ([#6275](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6275)) — `test-unit`×8, `vitest`, `integration`×2 and `security` declared `needs: build` but never download the `next-build` artifact; they now start at minute 0 (`needs: changes`, same `if` as Build), cutting ~15–20 min of wall-clock per heavy run. `e2e`/`package-artifact`/`electron-smoke` keep `needs: build` (they consume the artifact for real).
+- **ci(build):** the ci.yml Build job compiles Next.js with **Turbopack** (`OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=1`) ([#6273](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6273)) — Build job 20 min → **6 min 59 s (~2.9×)** on ubuntu-latest; the webpack `actions/cache` step is removed. Validated end-to-end pre-merge via `gh workflow run ci.yml --ref <branch>`.
+- **feat(build):** **Turbopack becomes the default bundler** for `next build` and `next dev` ([#6283](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6283)) — `build-next-isolated.mjs`, `run-next.mjs` and the playwright-runner default to Turbopack; `OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=0` is the explicit webpack escape hatch. `nightly-compat.yml`/`npm-publish.yml` inherit the default. Regression guard: `tests/unit/build-bundler-default-turbopack.test.ts`.
+- **feat(docker):** the Docker image builds with Turbopack (`ENV OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=1`) ([#6285](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6285)) — the v3.8.27 ImportTracer panic ("unreachable: there must be a path to a root") does **not** reproduce on Next 16.2.9: amd64 (659 s) and arm64 (qemu) build clean, 0 panics, smoke health 200.
+- **ci:** opt-in **self-hosted VPS runners for the release window** ([#6284](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6284)) — `scripts/vps/release-runner-up.sh`/`down.sh` manage the runner VM, and `build`/`test-unit`/`vitest` pick a dynamic `runs-on` gated by `vars.USE_VPS_RUNNER == 'true'` **and** own-origin (fork PRs never reach self-hosted runners). Wired into `/generate-release` (VM up at Phase 1, mandatory down at Phase 3).
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **quality(release-green):** full pre-flight hardening for this release — the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors typed/fixed and `validate-release-green` made suppressions-aware with per-gate logs (`_artifacts/release-green/`) and a `--hermetic` mode; test-masking allowlist entries for the cycle's verified-legitimate assert reductions; stale ESLint suppressions pruned (4,273 → 4,233); the 7 net-new `as any` casts from #6292 typed; `githubSkillTools` MCP errors routed through `sanitizeErrorMessage()`; `combo-provider-cooldown-sibling` added to the Stryker tap set; executors/env docs count fixes.
+- **ci(quality):** merge-integrity fast-gates per PR — `check:changelog-integrity` (no base CHANGELOG bullet may vanish in the merge result — the auto-resolve "CHANGELOG-eat" pattern) and `check:agent-skills-sync` (generated SKILL.md ≡ catalog), blocking for own-origin branches and report-only for forks (Princípio Zero). ([#6300](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6300))
+- **ci(vps):** hermetic `nightly-release-green` pre-flight on the dedicated `omni-release` self-hosted runner (dynamic `runs-on`, clean env); e2e/integration/electron stay on hosted runners (per-VM port collision + concurrent artifact-download limits documented in the PR). ([#6305](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6305))
+- **chore(quality):** v3.8.45 cycle-close drift rebaselines — file-size (13 files grown by merged cycle PRs), cognitive 867→877, cyclomatic 2028→2035, kiro-translator test debt from #6213; all with dated justification keys.
+- **docs(architecture):** sync stale DB-layer counts (45+/55 → 95+/110+) in REPOSITORY_MAP, the db-schema diagram and llm.txt (+42 i18n mirrors). ([#6167](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6167))
+- **chore(release):** parallel-cycle flow — `sync-next-cycle.mjs` + Hard Rule #21 semantics ([#6203](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6203)); v3.8.45 development cycle opened.
+- **i18n(it):** add 118 missing Italian (`it`) translations (net-additive — no existing keys dropped, valid JSON), improving Italian UI coverage. ([#6212](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6212) — thanks @serverless83)
+- **chore(providers):** remove deprecated **MiMo V2** model entries from the catalogs (xiaomi-mimo, opencode-go, zenmux-free, audio TTS) — the upstream V2 line is superseded by MiMo V2.5; drops `mimo-v2-tts`, `mimo-v2-pro`, `mimo-v2-omni`, `mimo-v2-flash`, `mimo-v2-flash-free` and realigns the provider-catalog tests. ([#6248](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6248) — thanks @backryun)

+## [3.8.44] — TBD
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(resilience):** throttle upstream quota fetches on the per-request preflight path ([#6009](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6009)) — a new global min-interval gate (`open-sse/services/quotaFetchThrottle.ts`) spaces the actual network calls made by the Codex quota fetcher so that many accounts on one IP no longer fetch quota in the same second (which, per `router-for-me/CLIProxyAPI#2385`, can get a Codex OAuth token revoked). Complements the existing bulk-sync spacing (`PROVIDER_LIMITS_SYNC_SPACING_MS`) which already serialized the periodic provider-limits sync — this covers the concurrent combo/preflight path it didn't. Cache hits are never delayed; fail-open (only ever awaits a timer). Configurable via `OMNIROUTE_QUOTA_FETCH_MIN_INTERVAL_MS` (default 250ms, clamped 0..5000; `0` disables). Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-fetch-throttle-6009.test.ts` (5). (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(autoCombo):** add **per-request Auto-Combo controls** via two headers ([#6024](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6024) / [#6025](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6025) / [#6023](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6023)) — `X-OmniRoute-Mode` steers an `auto` combo's scoring for a single request (friendly presets `fast`/`balanced`/`quality`/`cheap`/`reliable`/`offline` **or** a raw mode-pack name; `balanced` forces the default weights), and `X-OmniRoute-Budget` sets a hard per-request USD cost ceiling. Both override the combo's stored config only for the request that carries them; unknown/garbage values are ignored so the saved config is preserved. The resolvers are pure (`open-sse/services/autoCombo/requestControls.ts`) and feed the engine's existing `config.modePack` / `config.budgetCap` inputs — no engine changes. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auto-combo-request-controls-6024.test.ts` (5). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add the **Kenari** OpenAI-compatible gateway (BYOK). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kenari.test.ts`. (thanks @doedja)
+- **feat(models):** add `claude-sonnet-5` to the Antigravity model catalog (alias mapping in `antigravityModelAliases.ts`) ([#6103](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6103)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-model-aliases.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+- **feat(api):** add `/v1/ocr` endpoint (Mistral OCR), an OCR provider category, and Mistral moderation support. ([#5950](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5950)) (thanks @waguriagentic)
+- **Discovery tool (Phase 2):** add the `discoveryResults` DB module (CRUD over the `discovery_results` table, migration 074) and wire the opt-in provider-discovery service to persist and read findings through it (`persistDiscoveryResult`, `getDiscoveryResults`, `getDiscoveryResultById`, `markVerified`, `deleteDiscoveryResult`) with `(provider, method, endpoint)` upsert de-duplication. Adds the `/api/discovery/*` HTTP surface — `GET /results`, `GET|DELETE /results/:id`, `POST /scan`, `POST /verify/:id` — under **strict loopback-only** authorization (`/api/discovery/` is in `LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` and is NOT manage-scope-bypassable, so the `scan` route's outbound probes can never be reached from a tunnel/remote origin). Adds a **dashboard UI tab** (Tools → Discovery, `/dashboard/discovery`) to run scans and review, verify, or delete findings. The service stays **opt-in / default-off**. ([#5939](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5939))
+- **feat(api):** expose a read-only provider plugin manifest at `GET /api/v1/provider-plugin-manifest` for sidecar/relay discovery. ([#6001](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6001)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(sidecar):** advertise the provider manifest URL to Bifrost/CLIProxyAPI via the `X-OmniRoute-Provider-Manifest-Url` header (`OMNIROUTE_PROVIDER_MANIFEST_URL`). ([#6007](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6007)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(autoCombo):** add a latency/speed-optimized routing mode (shared `rankBySpeed` scoring core) plus the `omniroute_pick_fastest_model` MCP tool. ([#6011](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6011)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(providers):** refresh The Old LLM (Free) model catalog ([#5181](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5181)) — seed the current free `/api/chatgpt` tier (GPT-5/5.1/5.2/5.3/5.4, o3/o4-mini, Gemini 3 Pro / 2.5 Pro / 2.0 Flash / 1.5 Flash, Claude 4.6 Opus/Sonnet & 4.5 Haiku, GPT-4o, Grok 4, DeepSeek V3/R1, Sonar Pro) while keeping the legacy alias IDs for saved-preference compatibility. Also fixes a latent routing bug: `mapModel()` now passes known upstream IDs through unchanged, so Gemini/o-series/Grok/DeepSeek/Sonar models no longer silently collapse onto `GPT_5_4`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/theoldllm-model-refresh-5181.test.ts`. (thanks @WslzGmzs)
+- **feat(resilience):** surface Codex **banked reset credits** per connected account ([#5199](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5199)) — the Codex quota parsers (`buildCodexUsageQuotas`, `parseCodexUsageResponse`) now additively read `rate_limit_reset_credits.available_count` (+ optional `rate_limit_reached_type`) from the `/wham/usage` payload OmniRoute already fetches, and the provider-limits dashboard renders a **"Banked Reset Credits"** row when a positive count is present. Display-only and **fail-open** — the field is eligibility-gated, so accounts without it are unaffected (parsers never throw on absent/garbage shapes); redemption (an unofficial mutating endpoint) is intentionally out of scope. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-banked-reset-credits-5199.test.ts` (8). (thanks @ofekbetzalel)
+- **feat(providers):** add sign-up geo-restriction notices for **SenseNova** and **StepFun** ([#5462](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5462)) — the provider add-form now warns that SenseNova's console appears to require a Chinese (+86) phone number with no documented international path, and that StepFun's default endpoint is its China platform while a global StepFun Open Platform (`platform.stepfun.ai`, operated by Sparkling AI Pte. Ltd., Singapore) with email/Google/Discord login exists for international users. Informational `notice` only — neither provider is disabled. Regression guard: `tests/unit/regional-provider-cn-notices-5462.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(usage):** add on-demand period-scoped usage-data reset (Settings → System Storage) with a purge API and time-window selector. ([#5831](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5831))
+- **feat(claude-code):** add an opt-in auto-permission classifier compat mode (off/auto/always) for Claude Code, toggleable from the CLI Code settings. ([#5810](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5810))
+- **feat(providers):** add optional client-identity header profiles for compatible nodes — preset User-Agent/fingerprint headers (e.g. matching a known CLI) merged into the existing customHeaders field. ([#5812](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5812))
+- **feat(build):** add a backend-only fast build mode (`scripts/build/build-next-isolated.mjs` + `backendOnlyPages.mjs`) that skips compiling the dashboard frontend pages, cutting local/CI build time for backend-only changes. ([#6119](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6119) — thanks @artickc)
+- **feat(minimax):** extract MiniMax M3's raw `<think>...</think>` leakage into `reasoning_content` on the 8 OpenAI-format provider tiers, leaving the Claude-format `minimax`/`minimax-cn` tiers untouched (they already report reasoning correctly). ([#6073](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6073) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(services):** promote **Bifrost** (`@maximhq/bifrost` — Go AI-gateway) from an env-only relay sidecar to a first-class embedded/supervised service, matching the existing cliproxy/9router model — installer, bootstrap `SERVICES[]` entry, migration 113 DB seed, 7 lifecycle API routes under `/api/services/bifrost/` (loopback-only), a dashboard tab, and relay auto-wiring that defaults `BIFROST_BASE_URL` to the supervised port when running. Implements item #2 of #5670; the broader RouterBackend contract (items #1, #3-#5) stays out of scope. ([#5817](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5817), part of [#5670](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5670))
+- **feat(services):** add **Mux** (`coder/mux` — local agent-orchestration daemon) as a fourth-tier embedded service on the existing `ServiceSupervisor` framework — npm-based installer, `bootstrap.ts` registration, migration 113 DB seed, 7 lifecycle API routes under `/api/services/mux/` (loopback-only, defense-in-depth bind to 127.0.0.1), and a dashboard tab reusing the shared service-management components. ([#6034](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6034))
+- **feat(xai):** surface Grok/xAI usage on the quota dashboard via local `usageHistory` aggregation (`getXaiUsage`) — since xAI exposes no per-account quota API, this sums tokens routed to the connection from `usage_history` and reports them as a cumulative, uncapped quota, mirroring the existing Xiaomi MiMo self-track pattern. ([#5806](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5806))
+- **feat(minimax):** extract MiniMax M3's raw `<think>...</think>` tags into a separate `reasoning_content` field on the 8 provider tiers that register M3 with `format:"openai"` (trae, huggingchat, bazaarlink, ollama-cloud, opencode, cline, opencode-zen, codebuddy-cn) — previously the thinking text leaked directly into `content`. Reuses the existing `extractThinkingFromContent` primitive, extending its allowlist with a minimax-m3-only pattern; the two direct minimax/minimax-cn tiers are untouched since they already surface reasoning natively over Anthropic's Messages format. (Inspired by 9router#2231.) ([#6050](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6050) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(i18n):** auto-detect the browser language on first visit — a pure `detectBrowserLocale()` matcher (exact match, `zh-HK`/`zh-MO` folded to `zh-TW`, language-prefix match, else `null`) plus a client-only `LocaleAutoDetect` component mounted once in the root layout. When no locale cookie is set yet, it reads `navigator.languages`, computes a match against the supported locales, and persists it via the same cookie/localStorage writer `LanguageSelector` already used (extracted to `shared/lib/persistLocale.ts`). (Inspired by 9router#1324.) ([#5979](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5979))
+- **feat(cli-tools):** add **CodeWhale** — the actively-maintained successor to DeepSeek TUI (same author, renamed project) — as a dual dashboard entry alongside the existing "deepseek-tui" catalog entry, so existing DeepSeek TUI users keep a working card while new users are steered to CodeWhale. New `/api/cli-tools/codewhale-settings` route writes `~/.codewhale/config.toml` and keeps the legacy `~/.deepseek/config.toml` in sync. (Inspired by 9router#1761.) ([#5996](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5996))
+- **feat(server):** support reverse-proxy `basePath` deployment via a new opt-in `OMNIROUTE_BASE_PATH` env var (empty by default), using Next.js's native `basePath` support so a deployment behind a reverse-proxy subpath (e.g. `https://host/omniroute/`) works without manual header stripping; the two hardcoded auth-redirect targets in `src/server/authz/pipeline.ts` now prefix with `request.nextUrl.basePath`. Default empty basePath is a no-op for existing root-path deployments. (Inspired by 9router#1810.) ([#5992](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5992))
+- **feat(providers):** add **SumoPod** (`ai.sumopod.com`) and **X5Lab** (`api.x5lab.dev`) OpenAI-compatible BYOK aggregator gateways, wired via the default executor with bearer API-key auth; both use `passthroughModels` with a live `/v1/models` fetcher instead of a hardcoded catalog. Regression guard: `tests/unit/sumopod-x5lab-provider.test.ts`. (Inspired by 9router#1288.) ([#5963](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5963))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Charm Hyper** (`hyper.charm.land`) as a new OpenAI-compatible, bearer-auth API-key gateway provider with a free tier (100 monthly Hypercredits); models resolve via passthrough (`modelsUrl` + live `/v1/models`) since the catalog isn't publicly documented. (Inspired by 9router#2006.) ([#5961](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5961))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Nube.sh** (`ai.nube.sh`) as a new BYOK OpenAI-compatible gateway (LiteLLM proxy), Bearer/API-key auth. Its live model catalog is only reachable with a valid key, so no model IDs are hardcoded — it uses `passthroughModels` + `modelsUrl` for live enumeration. (Inspired by 9router#2294.) ([#5936](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5936) — thanks @whale9820)
+- **feat(providers):** add **b.ai** (`api.b.ai`) as a new OpenAI-compatible BYOK provider, distinct from the existing thebai/theb.ai provider, using passthrough model discovery with no hardcoded model list. (Inspired by 9router#963.) ([#5969](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5969))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Qiniu** (七牛云) AI inference gateway as a BYOK API-key provider — proxies many upstream models (DeepSeek V3/V4, Claude, Kimi, and more) behind a single key, shipping with an empty static seed and relying on `passthroughModels` + the live `/v1/models` catalog instead of a stale hardcoded model id. Regression guard: `tests/unit/qiniu-provider.test.ts`. (Inspired by 9router#911.) ([#5966](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5966))
+- **feat(providers):** port **ModelScope** (Alibaba 魔搭) as a new API-key, OpenAI-compatible provider — verified against ModelScope's own docs that the real production domain is `api-inference.modelscope.cn` (`.cn`, not the upstream PR's `.ai`) and shipped `passthroughModels: true` with an empty seed + `modelsUrl` instead of the upstream PR's static 5-model snapshot, since the open-model catalog moves fast. (Ported from 9router#1764.) ([#5965](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5965) — thanks @tn5052)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Augment (Auggie CLI)** as a new local, no-auth provider that spawns the user's local `auggie` CLI and pipes a flattened prompt via stdin, wrapping stdout as an OpenAI-compatible SSE stream or single JSON body. Auth is delegated to `auggie login` outside OmniRoute (synthetic `noAuth: true` connection, no DB row required); "Test Connection" spawns `auggie --version`. Hardened against the untrusted-input spawn sink: no `shell: true` on Windows (argv passed straight to the OS loader, no metacharacter interpretation), and `model` is validated against the registry allowlist before spawn (rejecting unknown or `-`-prefixed values) with a trailing `--` end-of-options marker. (Inspired by 9router#1200.) ([#5972](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5972) — thanks @chamdanilukman)
+- **feat(providers):** add **NVIDIA NIM image generation** — a dedicated `nvidia-nim` image format/handler (separate host, `ai.api.nvidia.com/v1/genai/<model>`, native NIM body shape) for the 4 FLUX models (flux.1-dev, flux.1-schnell, flux.1-kontext-dev, flux.2-klein-4b), shaping each model's per-model request body (dimension/mode validation, required input image + aspect ratio, optional edit image) and normalizing the NIM response's varying shapes into the OpenAI `{created, data}` shape. (Inspired by 9router#1195.) ([#5971](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5971))
+- **feat(oauth):** import a Codex connection from a raw ChatGPT access token — OmniRoute's only Codex import path previously required both `access_token` and `refresh_token`, leaving no path for a user with only a bare ChatGPT website access token. `createProviderConnection` gains an explicit `access_token` auth-type branch (intentionally never deduped), a new `POST /api/oauth/codex/import-token` route (Zod-validated), and `OAuthModal`'s manual-paste path now detects an `eyJ`-prefixed pasted token and posts it to the new endpoint, mirroring the existing grok-cli raw-token flow. The executor's `refreshCredentials()` already degrades safely to `null` without a refresh token, forcing re-auth on expiry. (Inspired by 9router#1290.) ([#5995](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5995) — thanks @ryanngit)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add a tool-source diagnostics settings toggle — a new Settings → Advanced card lets operators flip the existing `logToolSources` flag from the UI instead of editing the DB row directly; `logToolSources` is added to the `.strict()` `/api/settings` Zod PATCH schema (previously rejected). (Inspired by 9router#1825.) ([#5978](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5978) — thanks @DuyPrX)
+- **feat(dashboard):** collapse and sort provider quota rows by remaining percentage — the expanded quota list is sorted highest-remaining-first and collapsed to the first 3 rows by default, with a "Show N more"/"Show less" toggle when a connection reports more than 3 quotas, keeping at-risk quotas visible above a long list of healthy ones. Sort/slice logic extracted into pure, directly-unit-tested helpers (`sortQuotasByRemaining`, `getVisibleQuotas`). (Inspired by 9router#1919.) ([#5977](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5977))
+- **feat(dashboard):** suggest HuggingFace Hub media models — a new `GET /api/v1/providers/suggested-models` route proxies the public HF Hub models search API (Zod-validated, no token exposed client-side) and `ImageExampleCard` merges the results into the model picker as a selectable chip row for the huggingface provider; also adds a dedicated `huggingface-image` format/handler for HF's raw-image-bytes response. (Inspired by 9router#1633.) ([#5990](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5990))
+- **feat(cli-tools):** add a **Crush** entry to the dashboard CLI-Tools catalog plus a new `/api/cli-tools/crush-settings` route (GET/POST/DELETE) — OmniRoute already shipped a `crush` CLI setup command (`bin/cli/commands/setup-crush.mjs`) but the dashboard catalog had no matching entry; the new route writes to the same canonical `~/.config/crush/crush.json` path so the dashboard and CLI command agree. (Inspired by 9router#1233.) ([#5970](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5970))
+- **feat(providers):** extend Vercel AI Gateway (`vercel-ai-gateway`/`vag`) beyond chat-only to support **embeddings and image generation** — the gateway's OpenAI-compatible `/v1` API also exposes `/embeddings` and `/images/generations`, so entries were added to `EMBEDDING_PROVIDERS` (`embeddingRegistry.ts`) and `IMAGE_PROVIDERS` (`imageRegistry.ts`) modeled on the existing `openai` entries. ([#5968](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5968) — thanks @tantai-newnol)
+- **feat(api-keys):** add per-key **device/connection tracking** — a SHA-256 fingerprint of IP + User-Agent, with a 30-minute TTL and per-key/global caps, tracks distinct client devices seen with each API key (in-memory only, raw IP never stored). A new `GET /api/keys/[id]/devices` route exposes masked device details, and the API Keys dashboard tab gets a "Devices" count badge alongside the existing Sessions badge. This is a new granularity distinct from the existing `maxSessions` cap, which limits concurrent sticky-routing sessions rather than tracking device identity. ([#5998](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5998) — thanks @mugni-rukita)
+- **feat(proxy):** add **Webshare** (`proxy.webshare.io`) as a fourth source in the free-proxy provider framework alongside 1proxy, Proxifly, and IPLocate. `WebshareProvider` paginates the account's `/api/v2/proxy/list/` endpoint, upserts proxies into the shared `free_proxies` table, and tombstones proxies the account no longer lists while never touching rows already promoted into the live proxy pool. Unlike the other sources, Webshare is a paid per-account list, gated on `FREE_PROXY_WEBSHARE_API_KEY`. ([#5993](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5993) — thanks @ricatix)
+- **feat(antigravity):** support custom **Google Cloud project ID** settings from the connection edit modal (Antigravity family). ([#5905](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5905) — thanks @nickwizard)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add a **wildcard-CORS runtime warning** banner (Settings → Authorization) when `CORS_ALLOW_ALL`/`*` origins are in effect, plus a new `docs/security/CORS.md` security guide covering the risk and safer alternatives. ([#5602](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5602), [#5759](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5759))
+- **feat(api):** add a `/v1/audio/translations` endpoint (Whisper-style audio translation), a new `audioTranslation` handler, and translation providers wired into `audioRegistry`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/audio-translations-route.test.ts` (8, incl. no-stack-leak). ([#5809](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5809))
+- **feat(providers):** allow a **custom icon URL** for compatible provider nodes (migration 113 + `nodes.ts` + Zod schema + API routes + catalog + `ProviderIcon` UI). Regression guards: 14 backend + 5 frontend(vitest) + 24 page-utils tests. ([#5815](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5815))
+- **feat(xai):** register a dedicated `XaiExecutor` with reasoning-effort suffix parsing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executors/xai-executor.test.ts` (6). ([#5800](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5800))
+- **feat(webfetch):** support **self-hosted FireCrawl** instances via `FIRECRAWL_BASE_URL`/`FIRECRAWL_TIMEOUT_MS`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executors/firecrawl-fetch.test.ts` (4). ([#5793](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5793))
+- **feat(providers):** add **ClinePass** as a first-class API-key (BYOK) provider — Cline's paid gateway (`cline-pass/*` models, plain Bearer key), distinct from the existing OAuth `cline` provider. Regression guard: 16 clinepass tests. ([#5942](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5942) — thanks @adentdk)
+- **feat(relay):** gate **Bifrost auto-routing** by the provider plugin manifest — only manifest-eligible providers reach the sidecar; ineligible/unknown providers fall back to the existing TS routing path with explicit reasons. Regression guards: 4 provider-plugin-manifest + 11 relay-routing-backend tests. ([#5870](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5870) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(providers):** wire **Claude Sonnet 5** end-to-end across the model pipeline — registries, `modelSpecs`, pricing (×3), cost, Sonnet-family fallback, 1M-context, and static models. ([#5833](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5833) — thanks @ggiak)
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **dashboard (`/dashboard/system/proxy` 500 on every render):** `ProxyRegistryManager` called `useProxyBatchOperations(load)` before the `const load = useCallback(...)` declaration in the component body, so every server render threw a TDZ `ReferenceError: Cannot access 'load' before initialization` and the whole proxy page 500'd (#5918 regression, caught by the release-PR e2e smoke — the PR→release fast-gates never render pages). The hook block now sits after the `load` declaration. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/ProxyRegistryManager-tdz-render.test.tsx` (SSR renderToString — the exact crash mode).
+
+- **server (TRACE/TRACK/CONNECT returned raw 500 on every route):** methods that undici/fetch cannot represent blew up inside Next's middleware adapter (`TypeError: 'TRACE' HTTP method is unsupported.`) as an unhandled 500 (caught by the release-PR dast-smoke Schemathesis negative tests on the new `/api/keys/{id}/devices` endpoint). The raw HTTP method guard now answers a clean 405 + `Allow` header for these methods on any path, before Next sees the request. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dast-method-not-allowed.test.ts` (new case).
+
+- **i18n (auto-detect refreshed every first visit):** `LocaleAutoDetect` (#5979) called `router.refresh()` on every cookie-less first visit — even when the detected browser locale was exactly the one the server had just rendered — re-navigating the page mid-interaction (flaky e2e "execution context destroyed" + a visible flash for every new visitor). It now refreshes only when the detected locale differs from the server-rendered `<html lang>`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/LocaleAutoDetect-refresh.test.tsx`.
+
+- **models (`oc/` alias must reach the no-auth OpenCode provider):** restore the [#2901](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/2901) routing contract after the #5918 transitive-alias change made the registered no-auth `opencode` provider unreachable by any prefix (`oc/` chained through the manual `opencode` → `opencode-zen` slug override and misrouted its combo entries). `resolveProviderAlias` now stops the alias chain as soon as a hop lands on a registered provider id, while keeping #5918's transitivity across alias-only hops and its loop/depth guards. Regression guards: `tests/unit/combo-builder-opencode-prefix.test.ts`, `tests/unit/provider-alias-transitive-5918.test.ts`.
+
+- **providers (Auggie executor EPIPE crash):** a fast-exiting `auggie` CLI (e.g. binary present but immediately failing) delivered `EPIPE` **asynchronously** as an `'error'` event on the child's stdin stream — which a plain try/catch around `stdin.write()` cannot catch — crashing the request instead of surfacing the sanitized CLI error. Both spawn sites now attach a stdin `'error'` handler so the child's own exit/close handlers report the failure. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auggie-executor.test.ts` (deterministic 3/3 locally).
+
+- **dashboard (CoolingConnectionsPanel broke `next build`):** the cooling-connections panel from #6061 imported `Card` from a shadcn-style path that does not exist in this repo (`@/components/ui/card`) and pulled the server DB barrel (`@/lib/localDb`) into a client component — `next build` failed to compile on the release branch. The panel now renders with repo-native markup and reads `formatResetCountdown` from the new client-safe `src/shared/utils/formatting.ts`. Regression guards: `tests/unit/format-reset-countdown.test.ts`, `tests/unit/ui/CoolingConnectionsPanel.test.tsx`. ([#6155](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6155))
+
+- **oauth (Zed "Unknown provider" crash):** adding **Zed** from the providers dashboard threw an unhandled `OAuth GET error: Unknown provider: zed` (500) ([#6041](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6041)). Zed is a **keychain-import-only** provider — it's listed in the OAuth catalog so the UI shows it, but has no OAuth handler, so the generic `/api/oauth/[provider]/[action]` route hit `getProvider("zed")` and crashed. The route now recognizes keychain-import-only providers and returns a clear **400** pointing users at the **Import** button (for both GET and POST OAuth actions), instead of a 500. Regression guard: `tests/unit/oauth-keychain-import-only-6041.test.ts`. (thanks @imblowsnow)
+
+- **fix(providers):** disable the unsupported `thinking` param for `minimax-m2.7` on NVIDIA NIM (the upstream rejects it) ([#6102](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6102)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-minimax-thinking-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(mitm):** add an in-process guard so concurrent MITM server starts no longer race — a second start while one is already in flight is short-circuited instead of double-binding the listener ([#6107](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6107)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-start-guard.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **translator (Responses → Chat Completions):** strip the Responses-API-only `truncation` field before forwarding a `/v1/responses` request to a non-OpenAI Chat Completions upstream ([#6109](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6109)). Strict upstreams (e.g. NVIDIA NIM) rejected it with HTTP 400 `Unsupported parameter(s): truncation`, breaking Codex-style clients routed to those providers. `client_metadata`, `background`, and `safety_identifier` were already stripped — `truncation` was the remaining gap. Regression guard: `tests/unit/responses-strip-truncation-2311.test.ts`. (thanks @TuanNguyen0708)
+
+- **combo (prefer known context capacity over unknown):** when a combo filters out at least one target for exceeding a _known_ context limit, the router now prefers the remaining known-compatible targets over targets whose context metadata is simply unknown, instead of letting unknown-metadata targets be the only survivors. If no known-compatible context target remains, context-only candidates fall back to the normal strategy order. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-context-window-filter.test.ts`. ([#6088](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6088) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+
+- **models (GLM-5.2 context normalization):** stop treating every hosted GLM-5.2 provider alias as the native 1M-context model. Native/bare GLM-5.2 and verified OpenCode / ZenMux routes keep their 1,000,000-token context, while hosted-provider aliases now respect the caps declared in their provider metadata instead of inheriting the native max. Regression guards: `tests/unit/model-capabilities-registry.test.ts`, `tests/unit/models-catalog-route.test.ts`. ([#6091](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6091) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+
+- **providers (Gemini Web):** refresh the Gemini Web cookie handling and model catalog so live Gemini Web sessions keep authenticating and routing to current models. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-web.test.ts`. ([#6095](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6095) — thanks @backryun)
+
+- **providers (Perplexity Web):** refresh the Perplexity Web model catalog to the current set (GPT-5.4/5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.0 / Opus 4.8, GLM-5.2, Kimi K2.6, Nemotron 3 Ultra) and update the internal mode / `model_preference` mappings and thinking variants so requests resolve to live upstream models. Regression guard: `tests/unit/perplexity-web.test.ts`. ([#6106](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6106) — thanks @backryun)
+
+- **dashboard ("Update now" → Internal Server Error):** clicking **Update now** on the dashboard home could crash the page with a blank "Internal Server Error" screen (`Minified React error #31`). The handler POSTs the loopback-only `/api/system/version` auto-update endpoint and, on a non-OK JSON response (e.g. a `403` when the dashboard is reached through a reverse proxy / non-loopback origin), passed the raw error envelope object `{ error: { code, message, correlation_id } }` straight to `notify.error()`, which rendered the object as a React child and threw #31. The update-error path now funnels the body through `extractApiErrorMessage()` (the same safe extractor added in #5340), so a readable string always reaches the toast. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/home-update-error-render-5991.test.ts`. ([#5991](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5991))
+- **fix(onboarding):** route the provider-details link in the onboarding wizard by the node's stable id instead of the composite provider slug, which could point at the wrong provider details page for multi-account/fingerprint nodes. Regression guard: `tests/unit/onboarding-wizard-details-link-6145.test.ts`. ([#6145](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6145) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(cli):** give `setup-claude` a fallback profile generator mirroring `setup-codex`, so profile generation no longer silently no-ops when the primary generator path is unavailable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli/setup-claude.test.ts` (new cases). ([#6138](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6138) — thanks @derhornspieler)
+- **fix(glm):** suppress a leaked `</think>` close marker in the GLM Anthropic transport, which was surfacing the raw reasoning-close tag in visible response content instead of being consumed as part of the thinking-block framing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/glm-think-close-marker-leak.test.ts`. ([#6133](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6133) — thanks @dhaern)
+- **fix(provider-limits):** close a TOCTOU race in quota-recovery clearing by moving the check-then-clear to a CAS (compare-and-swap) primitive in `src/lib/db/providers.ts`, so two concurrent recovery paths can no longer both observe stale state and double-clear/re-lock a connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-limits-recovery.test.ts`. ([#6139](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6139) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **fix(provider-limits):** clear transient rate-limit state (`rateLimitedUntil`, `lastError`, `backoffLevel`) as soon as quota recovers, instead of leaving stale rate-limit fields behind that could keep a now-healthy connection looking unavailable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-limits-recovery.test.ts`. ([#6128](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6128) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **combos (OpenCode/MiMo fingerprint accounts):** expand fingerprint-scoped OpenCode/MiMo accounts into their full per-fingerprint set in the combo builder, which previously showed only the first matching account entry and hid the rest from combo target selection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-builder-fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`. ([#6092](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6092), closes [#6087](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6087) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(auth):** persist quota-preflight account lockouts until the reset window elapses, instead of losing the lockout on process restart and letting a still-quota-exhausted account be selected again immediately. Regression guards: `tests/unit/sse-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/opencode-quota-fetcher.test.ts`, `tests/unit/usage-service-hardening.test.ts`. ([#6090](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6090) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+- **combo (fingerprint-based provider expansion):** expand fingerprint-based providers into per-fingerprint combo targets (`open-sse/services/combo/fingerprintExpansion.ts`) so a combo referencing a fingerprint-scoped provider fans out to every matching fingerprint account instead of collapsing onto one. Regression guards: `tests/unit/combo-fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`, `tests/integration/fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`. ([#6082](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6082) — thanks @pizzav-xyz)
+- **fix (safety-net redirect `reqId` crash):** fix a `reqId` `ReferenceError` thrown inside the safety-net combo redirect path in `src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, remove dead code in `src/domain/quotaCache.ts`, and rename the stray root `DESING.md` to `DESIGN.md`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chat-safetynet-reqid-6097.test.ts`. ([#6097](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6097) — thanks @fix2015)
+- **fix(compression):** send a patch-only body to `PUT /api/settings/compression` from `CompressionHub`, instead of round-tripping the full settings object and risking clobbering fields changed elsewhere between load and save. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/CompressionHub-patch-only.test.tsx`. ([#6077](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6077), closes [#6039](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6039) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(codex):** use `access_token.exp` instead of `id_token.exp` when computing `expiresAt` on Codex auth import, since the `id_token` can expire far sooner than the actual access token, causing imported connections to be treated as expired while still usable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-auth-import-expiry.test.ts`. ([#6084](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6084), closes [#6075](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6075) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(security):** persist the IP allow/block-list configuration (it was resetting to Disabled and clearing configured IPs on every restart/update) and actually enforce it in the authz pipeline (`src/server/authz/pipeline.ts`), where it was previously validated but never applied. Regression guards: `tests/unit/ip-filter-persistence-6131.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/ip-filter-enforcement-6131.test.ts`, `tests/unit/ip-filter.test.ts`. (closes [#6131](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6131), [#6132](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6132))
+- **fix (Claude tool_result adjacency):** reattach an OpenAI-shaped `tool_result` to sit directly adjacent to its originating `tool_use` before translating to Claude's message format (`open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-claude/toolResultAdjacency.ts`), since Claude's API rejects/mishandles a tool result separated from its tool call by intervening messages. Regression guard: `tests/unit/translator-openai-to-claude.test.ts` (new cases). ([#6035](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6035) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(config):** externalize `ws`/`bufferutil`/`utf-8-validate` in `next.config.mjs` so the `copilot-m365-web` executor's WebSocket masking path works at runtime — chat requests through it were silently timing out because the bundler was inlining `ws` instead of leaving it as a real Node dependency. Regression guard: `tests/unit/next-config.test.ts`. ([#6130](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6130), closes [#6062](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6062) — thanks @anki1kr, whose #6098 fix it re-lands)
+- **fix(registry):** update grok-cli model context lengths to match the actual Grok CLI `/context` capacities — `grok-build` 128k→256k, `grok-composer-2.5-fast` 128k→200k — so context-aware routing stops filtering these models out for exceeding a stale, too-low limit. Registry-only. ([#5913](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5913) — thanks @Chewji9875)
+- **fix(providers):** strip an orphan `tool_result` (one with no preceding `tool_use`) on the Antigravity MITM path before translating to OpenAI format, since an unpaired tool result upstream caused request failures. Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-orphan-toolresult-6026.test.ts`. (closes [#6026](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6026), [#6115](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6115))
+- **fix(providers):** emulate OpenAI-style `tool_calls` in the GitLab Duo executor (new `open-sse/executors/gitlabResponses.ts`), since the executor previously didn't emulate tool-call semantics for Duo, breaking tool-using clients routed to GitLab Duo. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-duo-toolcalls-6051.test.ts`. (closes [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051), [#6111](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6111))
+- **fix(429 / accountFallback):** persist the per-account 429 cooldown cascade across the request boundary and classify OpenCode's "Monthly usage limit. Resets in N days." message as a connection-scoped quota exhaustion with an N-day cooldown (instead of a ~5s transient retry), so an exhausted account stops being re-selected until its window resets. ([#6061](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6061) — thanks @KooshaPari / @anki1kr, whose superseded #6086 carried the same day-parser approach)
+- **combo (sibling-model fallback on per-model-quota 500s):** when a combo held multiple models from the same provider (e.g. two Gemini models) and the first returned a server 500, the router retried the same locked model and surfaced a 429 "cooling down" instead of trying the sibling — `markConnectionLevelExhaustion` was wrongly tripped by a model-level 500 for per-model-quota providers (gemini, github, passthrough, compatible), and the retry loop didn't check `isModelLocked` before re-hitting the same model. Both gaps are fixed; the combo now falls through to the untried sibling model. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo/combo-target-exhaustion.test.ts` (21 cases). ([#5976](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5976) — thanks @hartmark)
+- **providers (Cline non-streaming envelope):** Cline can return OpenAI-compatible chat completions wrapped as `{ success, data: { choices, usage, ... } }`; the non-streaming path checked the top-level body for empty content before unwrapping, so a valid wrapped response could be misclassified as malformed/empty. The envelope is now unwrapped immediately after provider-envelope handling, before empty-content detection, usage extraction, and translation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cline-response-envelope.test.ts`. ([#6046](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6046) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **providers (kimi-web, qwen-web):** align the kimi-web model catalog and request-scenario selection with `www.kimi.com`'s live `GetAvailableModels` response, and stop aliasing `qwen3-coder-plus` on qwen-web now that it is present as its own model in the live Qwen web catalog. ([#5915](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5915) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **translator (Antigravity/Gemini tool schemas):** strip `multipleOf` from function-declaration parameters before forwarding to Antigravity/Gemini — it is not part of the Gemini OpenAPI 3.0 schema subset accepted upstream and triggered a hard 400 ("Unknown name multipleOf"). Added to `GEMINI_UNSUPPORTED_SCHEMA_KEYS` so it is stripped at every schema level; `minimum`/`maximum` are unaffected since Gemini accepts them. (Ported from 9router#2309, reported by @abil0321.) ([#6052](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6052))
+- **translator (Kiro system prompt leak):** Kiro/CodeWhisperer has no system role, so system messages were normalized into a bare user turn — the full Claude Code system prompt then appeared as raw user text, polluting model context. System-origin content is now wrapped in `<system-reminder>` tags before merging into the Kiro user message; real user turns are unaffected. (Ported from 9router#2306, reported by @VitzS7.) ([#6053](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6053))
+- **fix(codex):** convert Chat Completions `json_schema` `response_format` → Responses API `text.format` on the Codex path, and preserve an existing `text.format` through verbosity normalization. Regression guards: 48 translator-openai-responses-req + 8 codex-verbosity tests. ([#5933](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5933) — thanks @yusufrahadika)
+- **fix(thinking):** only inject the `redacted_thinking` replay block when `tool_use` is present and thinking is enabled, avoiding a fabricated replay block on plain (non-tool) turns. ([#5945](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5945), [#5953](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5953))
+- **fix(resilience):** honor active **codex session affinity** over per-request reset-aware re-scoring, so an in-flight session sticks to its pinned account instead of being re-scored away mid-conversation. New `src/sse/services/sessionAffinityPin.ts` module. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-session-affinity-reset-aware-5903.test.ts`. ([#5903](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5903), [#5943](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5943))
+- **fix(resilience):** compute per-window `is_exhausted` and honor the quota-exhaustion preflight for **priority combos**, so a combo no longer keeps routing to a target whose current window is already exhausted. New `open-sse/services/combo/quotaExhaustionCutoff.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-priority-quota-exhaustion-cutoff-5923.test.ts`. ([#5923](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5923), [#5941](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5941))
+- **fix(providers):** strip a `/v1` suffix from the base URL unconditionally in both models-discovery paths, avoiding a doubled `/v1/v1/models` fetch error (e.g. Api Airforce). Regression guard: `tests/unit/airforce-v1-double-prefix-5899.test.ts`. ([#5899](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5899), [#5920](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5920) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(api):** relax provider-scoped chat completion validation on `/api/providers/[provider]/chat/completions`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-scoped-chat-completions-validation.test.ts`. ([#5907](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5907) — thanks @nickwizard)
+- **fix(providers):** validate **v0 Platform** (Vercel) API keys via the `/chats` endpoint instead of a probe that rejected valid keys. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-validation-specialty.test.ts`. ([#5954](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5954) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+- **fix(mcp):** auto-recover stale streamable HTTP MCP sessions on `initialize` instead of failing the reconnect. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mcp-session-sweep.test.ts`. ([#5957](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5957) — thanks @Chewji9875)
+- **fix(translator):** enforce strict Anthropic content-block compliance when converting an antigravity → openai request. Regression guard: `tests/unit/translator-antigravity-to-openai.test.ts` (9). ([#5935](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5935))
+- **fix(sse):** strip ANSI/VT100 escape codes from `gemini-cli` stream frames using a ReDoS-safe pattern. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-cli-ansi-sanitization.test.ts` (5). ([#5934](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5934) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(discovery):** resolve a doubled `/v1` discovery path and a `REDIRECT_BLOCKED` probe-loop abort in the model-discovery route. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-route.test.ts`. ([#5904](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5904) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **fix(providers): Perplexity Web now emits real `tool_calls` in streaming mode** — previously only non-streaming requests (`hasTools && !stream`) converted `<tool>{...}</tool>` text into OpenAI `tool_calls`; streaming requests (the default for agentic coding clients) got the raw `<tool>` text as plain `delta.content` and never emitted a `tool_calls` SSE delta. Now mirrors the `chatgpt-web` `toolMode` helpers (`buildToolModeResponse()`/`toolCompletionToSseStream()`, extended with a caller-supplied `idSeed` so tool-call ids stay provider-specific), buffering the completion and emitting a terminal SSE replay carrying `delta.tool_calls` + `finish_reason: tool_calls` regardless of the caller's stream flag. ([#5927](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5927), [#5937](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5937))
+- **providers (openai-family model inference no longer hijacks cataloged models):** `resolveModelByProviderInference()` had an unconditional `/^gpt-/i` heuristic that hijacked any model id starting with `gpt-`/`o1`/`o3` into provider `openai`, even when the id is cataloged under other providers — breaking bare (non-combo) requests for open-weight models like `gpt-oss-120b` (served by fireworks/cerebras/scaleway/byteplus/sambanova/heroku), which don't exist on openai's catalog, producing a 404 with no fallback. The heuristic is now gated on `providers.length === 0` so it only fires for genuinely uncataloged openai-family ids. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gptoss-provider-inference-5852.test.ts`. ([#5852](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5852), [#5938](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5938))
+- **fix(providers): deepseek-web reliability** — auto-refresh the session on `401`/`403`, refresh the v2.0.0 client headers, and fix the token-kind bulk import path. Regression guards: `tests/unit/deepseek-web-autorefresh-401-response.test.ts`, `tests/unit/bulk-web-session-import.test.ts`. ([#5988](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5988) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(api):** guard the shared frontend API client (`handleResponse` in `src/shared/utils/api.ts`) against non-JSON error responses — it previously called `response.json()` unconditionally and read `data.error` directly, throwing an unrelated parse error (or `undefined`) instead of a useful message when an upstream/proxy returned a non-JSON error body. Now routes through `parseResponseBody`/`getErrorMessage` to build a safe message regardless of body shape. Regression guard: `tests/unit/shared-api-utils.test.ts`. ([#5973](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5973))
+- **fix(embeddings):** forward the connection-level proxy configuration to embedding requests — `src/lib/embeddings/service.ts` previously ignored a connection's configured proxy when making embedding calls, so proxy-only network setups leaked embedding traffic outside the proxy. Regression guard: `tests/unit/embeddings-proxy-forwarding.test.ts`. ([#5975](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5975))
+- **fix(resilience):** parse `Retry-After` from a 429's JSON body for cooldown calculation, not just the HTTP header — a new `retryAfterJson.ts` helper extracts a retry-after hint from common JSON error-body shapes and `accountFallback.ts`'s cooldown path now prefers it when the header is absent. Regression guard: `tests/unit/account-fallback-retry-after-json.test.ts`. (Includes #6013's retry-after-json extraction.) ([#5974](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5974) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **release close (release-PR one-pass CI sweep):** restore Zod validation on the provider-scoped chat route with a `.passthrough()` schema that keeps #5907's relaxed semantics (t06 route-validation gate); point `/api/keys/{id}/devices`' 401 response at the management error envelope in `docs/openapi.yaml` (Schemathesis schema-conformance); rebaseline `i18nUiCoverage.pct` 77.5→76.8 (~1352 new en.json UI keys from the cycle await the async translation workflow — same shape as the v3.8.39 rebaseline); dismiss 2 CodeQL `js/incomplete-url-substring-sanitization` false positives on unit-test asserts (v3.8.35 precedent).
+
+- **release close (Phase 0 pre-flight):** align cycle-stale tests with merged behavior — provider count 166→167 (Kenari #6104), Linux-regenerated translate-path golden (+`kenari`), OpenCode quota scope `provider`→`connection` (#6061) — and absorb cycle ratchet drift (file-size caps for `oauth/[provider]/[action]/route.ts` 960, `providerLimits.ts` 998, `chat.ts` 1662, `auth.ts` 2426, with #6158 tracked to restore the oauth-route freeze). The test-masking gate gains a narrowly-scoped `_deletedWithReplacement` allowlist section (deletion is exempt ONLY when the declared replacement test file exists in HEAD — used for `targetExhaustion.test.ts` → `tests/unit/combo/combo-target-exhaustion.test.ts`, which has MORE coverage: 21 cases/52 asserts vs 13/37), plus 5 new gate unit tests and reduction-allowlist entries for the verified-legitimate #5958/#6088/#5816 assert migrations.
+
+- **test (deflake `setup-claude`):** `tests/unit/cli/setup-claude.test.ts` failed ~50% of runs with `Unable to deserialize cloned data due to invalid or unsupported version` at file teardown (all subtests passed), randomly reddening `Unit Tests fast-path (2/2)` / `Fast Quality Gates` across the PR→release queue. Root cause: `node --test` streams each file's report to the parent as V8-serialized frames on fd 1 (stdout), and the CLI helper under test (`syncClaudeProfilesFromModels`) prints progress via `console.log` — that stdout output interleaved with the serialized frames and corrupted the stream. The test now silences the stdout-writing `console` methods for the file's duration (no assertion inspects stdout), making it deterministic (15/15 green locally). ([#5959](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5959)) ([#6021](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6021))
+
+- **API validation:** add a `validatedJsonBody(request, schema)` helper in `src/shared/validation/helpers.ts` that fuses JSON body parsing and Zod validation into a single call, returning either the type-narrowed data or a ready-to-return 400 `NextResponse` with the standard error envelope. Salvaged from the closed refactor PR #5075 (Tier 1 portable helper) with a focused 6-case regression test. Co-authored-by: KooshaPari <KooshaPari@users.noreply.github.com>
+- **repo (Windows case-conflict cleanup):** remove the stale root `DESIGN.md`, which case-conflicted with `design.md` and broke checkouts/clones on case-insensitive Windows filesystems. ([#6140](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6140) — thanks @backryun)
+- **i18n(zh-CN):** translate the CHANGELOG entries and section headings, adopting zh-CN as a fully translated locale alongside the existing supporting docs. ([#6043](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6043) — thanks @studyzy)
+- **docs (env-doc-sync base-red):** document `BIFROST_PORT` in `.env.example` / `docs/reference/ENVIRONMENT.md` — the Bifrost embedded-service merge referenced `process.env.BIFROST_PORT` (default 8080) without documenting it, so `check:env-doc-sync` failed on the release tip and reddened Fast Quality Gates for every open PR→release. Docs-only (`8d7e3e28f`).
+- **test (CI-runner-independent translate-path golden):** normalize OS/arch-derived request headers (`X-Stainless-Os`/`X-Stainless-Arch`, `(OS;arch)` User-Agent segments, and Antigravity's `os.platform()`-derived platform substring) in the provider translate-path golden snapshot, so the test no longer depends on the OS/arch of the CI runner that generated it — a Mac-literal Antigravity UA was failing on Linux CI. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-translate-path-golden.test.ts`. ([#6076](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6076) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **release-green base-reds (#5695 regex + file-size rebaseline):** `tests/unit/ui/quick-start-api-keys-link-5695.test.ts` now tolerates Prettier splitting a multi-line `<Link href=...>` so the `step1Desc` regex matches the `/dashboard/api-manager` link instead of skipping to `step2`'s single-line `/dashboard/providers` link (test was brittle, not the code). Also rebaselines 5 files that grew via already-merged release-tip PRs in `config/quality/file-size-baseline.json` (`ApiManagerPageClient` 3017→3058, `OAuthModal` 969→989, `cliRuntime` 1090→1100, `webProvidersA` 805→809, `deepseek-web.test` 1081→1092), with shrink tracked in #3501. ([#6093](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6093))
+- **release close (LEDGER-4 base-red):** the `cline-pass` provider's `minimax-m3` registry entry was missing `supportsVision`, breaking the LEDGER-4 registry-consistency test (every `minimax-m3` entry must set `supportsVision` to match `lite.ts` — the model is multimodal). Flagged it to match every other `minimax-m3` entry (trae, bazaarlink, cline, ollama-cloud, ...). ([#6003](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6003))
+- **release close (stryker `tap.testFiles` drift):** additional release-green cleanup clearing the `qoder` registry's `minimax-m3` `supportsVision` LEDGER-4 base-red and `stryker.conf.json`'s `tap.testFiles` drift. ([#6012](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6012))
+- **install (pnpm 11+ support):** pnpm 11 introduced `ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS` for native addon packages — without explicit `allowBuilds` approval, packages silently skip their build scripts and OmniRoute fails to start with missing native modules. Sets `allowBuilds=true` for all 13 native addon packages in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` (`@parcel/watcher`, `@swc/core`, `better-sqlite3`, `core-js`, `esbuild`, `keytar`, `koffi`, `libxmljs2`, `onnxruntime-node`, `protobufjs`, `sharp`, `tls-client-node`, `unrs-resolver`) and migrates `onlyBuiltDependencies` from the deprecated `package.json` field to a new `pnpm.json`. (commit 39349da18 — thanks @chirag127)
+- **refactor (Block J hot-path decomposition):** extract pure leaves with no behavior change from the executor, translator, combo, and SSE hot paths — orphaned executor tests moved to top-level so a runner collects them, and `handleComboChat`'s auto-strategy/target-timeout regions split into named helpers. ([#6063](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6063), [#6049](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6049), [#6036](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6036), [#6030](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6030), [#6020](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6020), [#6018](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6018), [#6017](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6017), [#6016](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6016), [#6015](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6015), [#6014](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6014), [#6008](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6008), [#6006](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6006), [#6000](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6000), [#5999](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5999), [#5994](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5994), [#5967](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5967), [#5962](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5962), [#5960](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5960), [#5947](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5947), [#5949](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5949), [#5940](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5940), [#5932](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5932))
+- **chore (quality/CI housekeeping):** rebaseline residual ESLint/cognitive-complexity/file-size drift accumulated over the v3.8.44 cycle, move orphaned executor tests to a top-level location so a runner actually collects them, harden the release pipeline with a test-masking pre-flight gate plus contributors/uncovered helpers, and make the `pr-evidence` FAIL output tell the author to push (a body edit alone does not re-run the gate). ([#5926](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5926), [#5944](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5944), [#5952](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5952), [#6027](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6027), [#5928](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5928), plus a #5975-collateral test hardening pinning a seeded connection to direct egress in route-edge-coverage)
+- **docs (housekeeping):** normalize mixed-language documentation content, restore the OpenAPI coverage ratchet by documenting 9 newly-added routes, record Hard Rule #22 (cross-session safety — `git stash` + in-flight PR bans), and document the compression-engine's upstream sync policy for the RTK/Caveman engines. ([#6105](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6105), [#5955](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5955), [#5948](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5948), plus docs-only commit 926b08aa8)

-#### Solução: Configure suas próprias credenciais OAuth
-
-Você precisa criar um **OAuth 2.0 Client ID** no Google Cloud Console com a URI do seu servidor.
-
-#### Passo a passo
-
-**1. Acesse o Google Cloud Console**
-
-Abra: [https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials)
-
-**2. Crie um novo OAuth 2.0 Client ID**
-
-- Clique em **"+ Create Credentials"** → **"OAuth client ID"**
-- Tipo de aplicativo: **"Web application"**
-- Nome: escolha qualquer nome (ex: `OmniRoute Remote`)
-
-**3. Adicione as Authorized Redirect URIs**
-
-No campo **"Authorized redirect URIs"**, adicione:
-
-```
-https://seu-servidor.com/callback
-```
-
-> Substitua `seu-servidor.com` pelo domínio ou IP do seu servidor (inclua a porta se necessário, ex: `http://45.33.32.156:20128/callback`).
-
-**4. Salve e copie as credenciais**
-
-Após criar, o Google mostrará o **Client ID** e o **Client Secret**.
-
-**5. Configure as variáveis de ambiente**
-
-No seu `.env` (ou nas variáveis de ambiente do Docker):
-
-```bash
-# Para Antigravity:
-ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=seu-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
-ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-seu-secret
-
-GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=seu-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
-GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-seu-secret
-```
-
-**6. Reinicie o OmniRoute**
-
-```bash
-# Se usando npm:
-npm run dev
-
-# Se usando Docker:
-docker restart omniroute
-```
-
-**7. Tente conectar novamente**
-
-
-Agora o Google redirecionará corretamente para `https://seu-servidor.com/callback` e a autenticação funcionará.
-
----
-
-#### Workaround temporário (sem configurar credenciais próprias)
-
-Se não quiser criar credenciais próprias agora, ainda é possível usar o fluxo **manual de URL**:
-
-1. O OmniRoute abrirá a URL de autorização do Google
-2. Após você autorizar, o Google tentará redirecionar para `localhost` (que falha no servidor remoto)
-3. **Copie a URL completa** da barra de endereço do seu browser (mesmo que a página não carregue)
-4. Cole essa URL no campo que aparece no modal de conexão do OmniRoute
-5. Clique em **"Connect"**
-
-> Este workaround funciona porque o código de autorização na URL é válido independente do redirect ter carregado ou não.

+- **9router Codex import**: the Codex bulk-import endpoint (`POST /api/oauth/codex/import`) now accepts 9router's camelCase account export (`accessToken`/`refreshToken`/`idToken`/`expiresAt` + nested `providerSpecificData`), not just snake_case — `normalizeCodexImportRecord` maps the camelCase aliases onto the existing snake_case keys, filling each only when absent so snake_case/mixed exports keep working unchanged ([#6665](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6665)) — thanks @deadcoder0904. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codexBulkImport.test.ts` (9router camelCase record, pre-supplied `providerSpecificData` without an id_token, snake_case-not-overridden, and a full `{accounts:[...]}` flatten).

+- **feat(release):** `changelog.d/` fragments — eliminates the CHANGELOG merge-storm cascade. ([#6783](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6783) — thanks @diegosouzapw)

+
+- **feat(dashboard):** sidebar quick-filter — a search input at the top of the expanded dashboard sidebar (`src/shared/components/Sidebar.tsx`) filters nav sections/groups/items client-side by label as you type, reusing the existing `common.search`/`common.noResults` i18n keys (zero new locale edits) and the shared `Input` `icon="search"` pattern; matching sections auto-expand while searching (bypassing the accordion/pin state) and collapse back to normal once the query is cleared. Pure filtering logic extracted into `filterSidebarSectionsByQuery()` (`src/shared/utils/sidebarSearch.ts`) for isolated unit testing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/sidebar-search-filter.test.ts`, `src/shared/components/Sidebar.search.test.tsx`. (#4013 — thanks @crochabe-cyber)
+- **feat(combo):** `auto/*` combos gain a strict budget-cap fallback policy — `X-OmniRoute-Budget-Fallback: strict` (or the persisted `config.budgetFallback: "strict"`) makes an over-budget request fail fast with `HTTP 402` instead of the previous silent fallback to the globally cheapest candidate, which could still exceed the cap. The default (`cheapest`) preserves existing behavior. Builds on the existing `X-OmniRoute-Budget`/`X-OmniRoute-Mode` per-request controls (#6023/#6024/#6025), consolidated into `resolveRequestAutoControls()`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auto-combo-budget-fallback-3470.test.ts`. (#3470)
+- **Provider/model param filters**: config-driven parameter denylist/allowlist per provider/model with auto-learn from upstream 400s (#6649 — thanks @ThongAccount, closes #6625)
+- **Per-combo reasoning token buffer toggle**: the combo builder now exposes an explicit checkbox for the `#3587` reasoning-model `max_tokens` buffer, defaulting to the existing enabled behavior, so a combo can opt out without hand-editing raw JSON config (#6702 — thanks @xz-dev)
+- **feat(dashboard):** 9router-parity **Routing Strategy** settings card on Settings → Routing, plus a per-provider account-routing override on the provider detail page ([#6678](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6678)) — surfaces the existing account round-robin / sticky-limit knobs and adds a new combo-level sticky round-robin (`comboStickyRoundRobinLimit`, resolved via `resolveComboStickyRoundRobinLimit()` — per-combo → global combo sticky → account sticky cascade) so combo targets can batch calls per target the same way account fallback already does. A new `providerStrategies` setting (Zod-validated map, `src/shared/validation/settingsSchemas.ts`) lets a specific provider override the global `fallbackStrategy`/`stickyRoundRobinLimit` without touching the account-wide default, wired into `getProviderCredentials()` (`src/sse/services/auth.ts`) ahead of the global fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-rr-sticky-9router.test.ts`, `tests/unit/settings-ui-layout-static.test.ts`. (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **feat(icons):** provider logos now resolve local SVG assets first for faster rendering, with a 5-tier fallback chain — local SVG → `@lobehub/icons` React components → `thesvg.org` CDN (external SVG for unknown providers) → local PNG → generic AI icon — replacing the previous LobeHub-first order. Adds dozens of first-party provider SVGs and migrates several bitmap logos (continue/copilot/cursor/deepgram/heroku/openclaw/ovhcloud) from PNG to SVG. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/ProviderIcon-icon-url.test.tsx`. ([#6317](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6317) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **Skill Collector CLI detection**: new `GET /api/skills/collect/detect` + `POST /api/skills/collect/install` (and the `cli-skill-collector` agent skill) detect which coding CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Cline, Hermes, OpenCode, etc.) are installed locally via `getCliRuntimeStatus()`, match them against GitHub agent-skill repos, and plan an install path per tool — replacing the standalone Skill Collector Python app. Both new routes and `GET/POST /api/github-skills` now require management auth (`requireManagementAuth()`) and are loopback-gated (`LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` + `SPAWN_CAPABLE_PREFIXES`) since the detect route spawns a child process per candidate CLI tool (Hard Rules #15 + #17). The `omniroute_github_skills_install` MCP tool now reports the honest `action: "planned"` instead of `"installed"`, matching the REST route (#6294 — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **ClinePass dual-auth**: ClinePass now offers both sign-in methods on its dashboard page — OAuth (reusing the Cline WorkOS flow) as the primary "Connect" path, or a pasted BYOK API key via "Manual API key", instead of only the API-key-only provider shipped in #5942. The registry alias was aligned to `cp` (matching the `OAUTH_PROVIDERS` catalog alias) so `<alias>/<modelId>` routing resolves correctly, the OAuth refresh dispatch now routes `clinepass` to the shared Cline refresh flow, and the duplicate API-key-only catalog entry was removed to keep ClinePass listed once. Regression guard: `tests/unit/clinepass-provider.test.ts`. (#6126 — thanks @hajilok)
+- **feat(oauth):** Kiro/Amazon Q auto-import now supports enterprise **External IdP** ("Your organization") logins via Microsoft Entra/Okta/Auth0/OneLogin/Ping/Google/Cognito — these org-issued tokens are not AWS SSO tokens (no `aorAAAAAG`-prefixed refresh token) and can't refresh through the AWS OIDC/Kiro-social path, so `tryAwsSsoCache()` now detects them (`authMethod`/`provider === "externalidp"`) and refreshes via the org IdP's own `tokenEndpoint` (public-client OAuth2 refresh grant, no client secret), persisting `TokenType: EXTERNAL_IDP` gating so the runtime executor sends the header the AWS CodeWhisperer API requires for these accounts; `tokenEndpoint` is SSRF-guarded against an HTTPS + known-IdP-host-suffix allowlist. (#6363 — thanks @artickc)
+- **Kiro long-lived API key auth**: new `/api/oauth/kiro/api-key` route + `KiroService.validateApiKey` let a Kiro account be linked with a long-lived AWS CodeWhisperer/Kiro API key instead of the interactive OAuth device flow, with live per-account model discovery (`ListAvailableModels`, 5-minute cache) layered over the existing static registry fallback (#6587 — thanks @strangersp)
+- **Chaos Mode**: multi-model parallel/collaborative task execution — dispatches a task to every active provider connection at once (parallel) or chains outputs sequentially so each model builds on the previous one's answer (collaborative), configurable via Dashboard → Chaos Mode (`GET`/`PUT`/`DELETE /api/chaos/config`) and gated per-API-key via a new `chaosModeEnabled` permission (opt-in — disabled by default globally and per key). `POST /api/chaos/run` (dashboard session) and `POST /api/skills/collect/chaos` (external Bearer-token) delegate to a shared `executeChaosRun()` engine (`src/lib/chaos/chaosExecutor.ts`) that dispatches in-process via the established synthetic-Request/route-handler pattern (no network hop, no hardcoded port), with a concurrency cap (max 10 parallel), configurable `max_tokens` (256–128k), a clear error when `stream` is requested, and collaborative-chain info (provider order + input size). Fixes external Bearer-auth bypass and stale config-cache leakage. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chaos-config.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chaos-executor.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chaos-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6728](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6728) — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **feat(cli):** 2 new CLI tool integrations on Dashboard → CLI Tools — **omp** (Oh My Pi) and **letta** — each with binary detection, config apply/reset, and a settings card following the existing tool-card pattern. Both settings routes shell out to `which omp`/`which letta` to detect the local install, so they're loopback-gated (`LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES`, Hard Rules #15/#17) in addition to the shared `requireCliToolsAuth()` management-auth guard every cli-tools route requires, and route errors through `sanitizeErrorMessage()`; `src/lib/db/omp.ts` isolates the `omp` CLI's own local SQLite reads behind parameterized queries. (Note: the original PR also proposed **pi**, **codewhale**, and **jcode** integrations — those three had already shipped via a separate PR by the time this one was reconciled, so only omp+letta landed here.) Regression guard: `tests/unit/db/omp.test.ts`, `tests/unit/cli-tools-auth-hardening.test.ts`, `tests/integration/cli-settings-omp.test.ts`, `tests/integration/cli-settings-letta.test.ts`. ([#6318](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6318) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **feat(providers):** custom models now support a manual **Context Window Override** so an operator can correct a provider's misreported context length (e.g. reports 1M when the real limit is 128K) instead of the model silently getting dropped from combo routing once the wrong value lands in the catalog ([#4125](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/4125) — thanks @rucciva). Reuses the existing Feature-5004 `model_context_overrides` table (`source: "manual"`) — already the priority-0 source `getModelContextLimit()` (the function combo's context-window filter calls) reads ahead of the models.dev/registry/static catalog — so no new resolver logic was needed, only the missing write path: `PUT /api/provider-models` now accepts an optional `contextWindowOverride` (number to set, `null` to clear), `GET` surfaces the current value back on each custom-model row, and the provider detail page's custom-model edit form gained a Context Window Override field + badge. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-context-window-override-4125.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** register OpenRouter as a rerank provider so `openrouter/cohere/rerank-*` models resolve instead of erroring `Invalid rerank model` (#6574 — thanks @rafpigna)
+- **fix(api):** `HEAD` requests no longer hang until client timeout on any route — valid, unknown, authed, or unauthed ([#6400](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6400)), broader follow-up to the route-specific #6517 (`/v1/models`). Root cause: Next.js 16's App Router _route-handler_ pipeline (`next/dist/server/send-response.js`) correctly skips piping a `Response` body for `HEAD`, but its _page_-rendering pipeline (`next/dist/server/pipe-readable.js` → `pipeToNodeResponse`, used for every app-router page/layout render — including the `not-found` boundary any unmatched path falls through to) has no such check and always streams the full rendered body regardless of method; combined with Node's default keep-alive framing this left some clients unsure whether the (implicitly bodyless) `HEAD` response had actually finished. A new `scripts/dev/head-response-guard.cjs`, wired into both the dev/start custom server (`scripts/dev/run-next.mjs`) and the packaged standalone server (`scripts/dev/standalone-server-ws.mjs`) at the same tier as the existing `http-method-guard.cjs`/`peer-stamp.mjs` wrappers, discards any body bytes written for a `HEAD` request and forces `Connection: close` once `.end()` is called — independent of route existence or auth state, satisfying RFC 9110 §9.3.2. Regression guard: `tests/unit/head-request-closes-6400.test.ts`.
+- **feat(dashboard):** Provider Quota page (`Dashboard → Quota`) fills horizontal whitespace before stacking vertically ([#3520](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3520)) — `QuotaCardGrid` previously stacked every provider group in a single vertical `flex flex-col`, and each group's own card grid didn't go multi-column until `md` (`grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 xl:grid-cols-3 2xl:grid-cols-4`). Provider groups now flow into a 2-column CSS multi-column layout on very wide (`2xl`) screens instead of an unconditional vertical stack, and each group's card grid starts at 2 columns immediately (`grid-cols-2 md:grid-cols-3 xl:grid-cols-4`), reaching higher density sooner on narrower-but-not-mobile viewports. Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-card-grid-horizontal-layout.test.ts` (thanks @gdevenyi).
+- **feat(ws):** the live-dashboard WebSocket server now auto-starts in-process (via `instrumentation-node.ts`) across every deployment mode — dev, production, Docker, Electron — with no separate sidecar script; the default WS port moved from 20129 to **20132** to avoid colliding with `API_PORT` in split-port setups, the deprecated `OMNIROUTE_DISABLE_LIVE_WS` env was consolidated into `OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS` (default enabled), and the WS path is now derived from `NEXT_PUBLIC_LIVE_WS_PUBLIC_URL`'s pathname (`/live-ws` fallback) (#6072 — thanks @ianriizky).
+- **feat(compression):** new **omniglyph** engine (context-as-image) — renders system prompt, tool docs, and dense history as compact PNG pages the model reads instead of text (~10× fewer tokens on the converted block; 59–70% end-to-end measured). Works stacked with RTK/Caveman (`stackPriority: 90`) or standalone (`mode: omniglyph`); restricted to Claude Fable 5 over the direct Anthropic route, fail-closed gates with `skip:<reason>` techniques, preview (`stable: false`, off by default) (#6556). Dependency bumped to `omniglyph@^1.0.2` for upstream ReDoS fixes (#6661).
+- **feat(sandbox):** the skill sandbox gained a container-provider abstraction that auto-detects and uses the best native runtime per host — Apple Container (macOS 26+), WSL container (`wslc.exe`), OrbStack, Podman — instead of hardcoding `docker run`, removing the Docker Desktop requirement on macOS/Windows (#6611 — thanks @KooshaPari).
+- **fix(sse):** skip `thinkingConfig` for Gemma models on the OpenAI→Gemini path so OpenAI-shape clients no longer get a 400 from Vertex. (thanks @chy1211)
+- **feat(xai):** route xAI clients to Grok's native `/v1/responses` endpoint instead of the chat-completions bridge. (thanks @ryanngit)
+- **feat(models):** add a Settings → AI "Model Overrides" UI plus `/api/model-capability-overrides` CRUD and a `model_capability_overrides` table, letting operators set a manual max-output-token override per provider/model (#6727 — thanks @xz-dev).
+- **feat(resilience):** operator-configurable account rotation policy — a new `rotationConfig` layer lets operators tune how connections rotate on failure, wired into `accountFallback` (#6763 — thanks @artickc).
+- **chore(cursor): add Grok 4.5 effort/fast model IDs** (#6774 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- **feat(codex):** Codex provider model discovery now fetches the live catalog from `chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/models` using Codex-shaped headers, falling back to a GitHub-hosted model manifest and then to the local static catalog when the live/GitHub sources are unavailable or return an unexpected shape — new `src/app/api/providers/[id]/models/discovery/codex.ts` (normalization, version-gating, merge/enrich against the local catalog) covered by `tests/unit/provider-models-discovery-split.test.ts` and `tests/unit/provider-models-route-codex.test.ts` (#6776 — thanks @JxnLexn).
+- **feat(cursor):** register the Opus 4.8, Fable 5, and Sonnet 5 model families for the Cursor Agent provider so the latest Claude/Fable model ids route correctly (#6779 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- **Changelog fragments (`changelog.d/`)**: PRs now add their changelog entry as a new fragment file (`changelog.d/{features|fixes|maintenance}/<PR>-<slug>.md`) instead of editing `CHANGELOG.md` — two PRs never touch the same file, structurally eliminating the CHANGELOG-eat merge conflicts that forced a re-sync push + full CI re-run after every sibling merge (O(N²) CI runs in a merge-storm). `scripts/release/aggregate-changelog.mjs` (npm run changelog:aggregate) folds fragments into the living section at release reconciliation, and `check:changelog-integrity` now also validates fragment well-formedness. Regression guard: `tests/unit/changelog-fragments.test.ts`.
+- **feat(proxy):** add a latency-optimized proxy rotation strategy that ranks pool entries by measured round-trip latency, extending the existing round-robin/random/sticky proxy-pool selection (#6798 — thanks @iamraydoan).
+- **feat(fusion):** the fusion judge may now draw on its own knowledge and override the panel when every panel answer is wrong or incomplete, instead of being restricted to synthesizing only from panel output (#6804 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **feat(dashboard):** search box on the Playground's raw model `<select>` (#4086) — the shared `ModelSelectModal` (combo builder + CLI-code cards) already had search, but Playground's `StudioConfigPane` model dropdown stayed a flat unsearchable list, unusable once a provider like OpenRouter contributed 50+ models. Typing now filters the dropdown (Turkish-safe accent/case-insensitive match via `matchesSearch`), while the currently selected model always stays pinned in the list even if it no longer matches the query, so typing never silently swaps the active selection. Reuses the existing `common.search` i18n key (already translated in all 42 locales) — no new translation key needed. Regression guard: `tests/unit/playground-model-selection-3731.test.ts` (`filterModelsByQuery`), `tests/unit/ui/playground-model-search-4086.test.tsx`.
+- **feat(usage):** Antigravity/agy quota widget now surfaces the **weekly** window alongside the existing per-model 5-hour window ([#4017](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/4017)) — the weekly limit isn't part of the per-model `retrieveUserQuota` response the fetcher already calls; it only appears in a separate, undocumented `retrieveUserQuotaSummary` RPC that groups models into families ("Gemini Models", "Claude and GPT models") with one weekly bucket per family. A new `usage/antigravityWeeklyQuota.ts` leaf fetches that RPC (cached, best-effort — a failure or unavailable RPC never breaks the existing per-model quotas) and parses the weekly bucket per group into `gemini_weekly`/`claude_gpt_weekly` quota entries, merged into the same `quotas` map the widget already renders generically. Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-weekly-quota-4017.test.ts` (bucket parsing, the alternate `quotaSummary`-nested envelope, and end-to-end merge via `getUsageForProvider`).
+- **feat(codex):** Codex CLI compatibility shim — the Responses API `response.created`/`response.in_progress`/`response.completed` payloads now carry a `model` field (previously absent), and for Codex-CLI-originated requests it echoes the client-requested, effort-suffixed model id (e.g. `gpt-5.5-xhigh`) instead of the bare upstream id (`gpt-5.5`), so the Codex CLI status line/model button shows the active reasoning effort ([#3697](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3697)). `openaiToOpenAIResponsesResponse` (`open-sse/translator/response/openai-responses.ts`) now threads the upstream model into the Responses event objects; a new `isCodexOriginatedHeaders()` (`open-sse/config/codexIdentity.ts`, reusing PR #3481's `originator`/User-Agent detection) makes chatCore's existing opt-in `echoRequestedModelName` (#1311) model-echo pipeline fire automatically for Codex clients regardless of the setting, detected by request headers so it still applies when `codex/gpt-5.5-xhigh` is routed through a combo to a non-codex upstream; `echoModelInObject`/`echoModelInSseLine` (`open-sse/services/responseModelEcho.ts`) now also rewrite the nested `response.model` field the Responses API uses. `/v1/models` still returns `models: []` for Codex (unchanged). Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-effort-model-echo-3697.test.ts`.
+- **Z.ai Web (free web-session provider)**: new `zai-web` web-cookie provider drives the free chat.z.ai consumer chat UI via a pasted browser session cookie, distinct from the existing API-key `zai`/`glm`/`glm-cn`/`glmt` providers (`api.z.ai`) — modeled on the `doubao-web`/`venice-web` cookie executors and the pre-existing `chatglm-web` credential requirement/token-extraction entries. `ZaiWebExecutor` (`open-sse/executors/zai-web.ts`) posts to `chat.z.ai/api/chat/completions` with the cookie forwarded both as `Cookie` and as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`, and normalizes both z.ai's internal `delta_content`/`phase` SSE envelope and a pass-through OpenAI-shaped `choices[].delta` frame into standard chat-completion chunks. Registered in `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS`, `WEB_SESSION_CREDENTIAL_REQUIREMENTS`, the provider registry (`zai-web` entry, GLM-4.6/4.5/4.5V models), and `tokenExtractionConfig.ts` for in-app cookie capture. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executor-zai-web.test.ts` (16 tests — token extraction, frame parsing for both SSE shapes, streaming and non-streaming aggregation, error paths). (#4056)
+- **feat(compression):** update the vendored **GCF** codec behind the **Headroom** engine to spec **v3.2 (nested flattening)** ([#6837](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6837)). Homogeneous arrays whose rows carry nested objects/arrays now tabularize via `>`-prefixed path fields instead of a low-yield per-row fallback, so nested MCP tool-result rows (`meta:{...}`, `tags:[...]`) compact like flat rows. On representative shapes the update takes deeply-nested payloads the old codec left near-uncompressed from ~3% to ~32% vs JSON (k8s pods, `cl100k_base`), with shallow-nested rows seeing a small bump and flat arrays unchanged. Re-vendored from current gcf-typescript (zero runtime deps, MIT, SPDX-marked, generic-profile only); also folds in the `[N]:` inline-array quoting fix and canonical decimal formatting. Round-trip stays lossless (order-insensitive), and the decoder is hardened against prototype pollution (a `__proto__`/`constructor` path segment never mutates `Object.prototype`, and keys shadowing built-ins like `toString` now round-trip correctly instead of misparsing). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression/headroom-smartcrusher.test.ts` (deep-nested + prototype-pollution cases).
+- **feat(providers):** Add GPT-5.6 support across OpenAI API, Codex, and ChatGPT Web, including Codex Max/Ultra efforts, VS Code metadata, Fast-tier credit accounting, curated live discovery, the Codex 0.144.1 client identity, and correct chat routing for models that also support image generation ([#6862](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6862)) - thanks @backryun
+- **chore(providers):** Align emitted Claude Code identity headers, bridge fingerprints, provider profiles, and documented defaults with claude-cli 2.1.207 ([#6862](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6862)) - thanks @backryun
+
+### 🐛 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(dashboard):** the Proxy Registry settings page crashed at runtime (`ReferenceError: poolLoaded/bulkImportOpen is not defined`) — the #6625/#6909 hook-extraction refactors deleted 10 state declarations (`poolLoaded`, `poolSaving`, and the 8-member bulk-import family) while ~30 usages remained; all restored (caught by the release E2E; `typecheck:core` does not cover dashboard TSX — follow-up #7021). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(combo):** `comboStickyRoundRobinLimit` now defaults to inherit (`null`) instead of `1` — the literal default silently shadowed the documented batched round-robin rotation (`stickyRoundRobinLimit: 3`), flipping every round-robin combo to per-request alternation (#6678 follow-up, caught by the release CI). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(ws):** the standalone LiveWS startup script exited 0 without ever listening — its bootstrapped child re-spawned with the import-suppressor `OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS=0` and then honored it as an operator disable (#6072 follow-up, caught by the release CI). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+

+- **fix(i18n):** the provider-detail (`/dashboard/providers/[id]`) visibility + free/paid model filter labels (`showVisibleOnly`, `showHiddenOnly`, `freeFilterAll`, `freeFilterFreeOnly`, `freeFilterPaidOnly`, `hideAllModels`, plus the currently-unused `filterVisible`/`filterHidden`/`filterByVisibility`) rendered as the literal `__MISSING__:<english>` sentinel in 15 locales, including pt-BR ([#6694](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6694)) — `providerText()` (`providerPageHelpers.ts`) checks `t.has(key)` before falling back to clean English, and `t.has()` returns `true` even when the stored value is the `__MISSING__:` sentinel `scripts/i18n/sync-ui-keys.mjs` writes when mirroring keys across locales, so the sentinel rendered verbatim instead of the fallback. Disjoint key set from #6290 (`filterAll`/`filterActive`/`filterError`/`filterBanned`/`filterCreditsExhausted`). All 9 keys now carry real translations across the 15 affected locale files (`it`, `ja`, `ko`, `mr`, `ms`, `nl`, `no`, `phi`, `pl`, `pt`, `pt-BR`, `ro`, `ru`, `sk`, `sv`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-provider-visibility-filter-keys-6694.test.ts`.

+- **fix(cli):** the dashboard's Claude Code CLI card could report "Not detected"/"Not installed" even when Claude Code was genuinely installed and previously used ([#6701](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6701)) — `getCliRuntimeStatus()` (`src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts`) determined `installed` purely from binary resolution (known install paths + a `where`/`which` PATH search), with no fallback when that lookup fails for reasons unrelated to whether the CLI is actually installed (stale PATH inherited by a long-running/background process, the binary having moved, an install method not yet catalogued, etc.) — even though `~/.claude/settings.json` on disk proves the tool was installed and used before. Upstream 9router's equivalent route already has this exact fallback. A new `withSettingsFallback()` (`src/shared/services/cliInstallFallback.ts`) restores 9router parity: when the binary lookup's own reason is `"not_found"` (never for deliberate security rejections like unsafe/relative env overrides or symlink escapes) and the tool's settings file exists on disk, `installed` now reports `true`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6701-claude-detect-fallback.test.ts`.
+- **fix(cli):** per-agent AgentBridge DNS toggle was broken for 8 of the 9 supported agents, and a failed MITM startup step could orphan the spawned proxy child — `addDNSEntry`/`removeDNSEntry` (`src/mitm/dns/dnsConfig.ts`) always resolved the legacy Antigravity default hosts regardless of which agent's toggle was flipped, so enabling DNS for Cursor/Codex/Claude Code/etc. silently added only `daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com` while the DB recorded `dns_enabled=true` for the selected agent. Both functions now accept an optional `agentId` and resolve hosts via `ALL_TARGETS`; `POST /api/tools/agent-bridge/agents/[id]/dns` passes the route's `id` through and now returns 404 for an id that doesn't match a known target instead of silently falling back. Separately, `startMitmInternal()` (`src/mitm/manager.ts`) now wraps `generateCert()` (log + rethrow), the `provisionDnsEntries()` call, and the PID-file write in try/catch so a mid-startup failure can't orphan the already-spawned MITM child process. On Windows, `addDNSEntries`/`removeDNSEntries` also batch every missing/present entry into a single elevated PowerShell invocation instead of one UAC prompt per host line. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dns-config-generic.test.ts` (agent-specific resolution + batching), `tests/unit/agent-bridge-dns-route-validation.test.ts` (404 for unknown agent id). ([#6338](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6338) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **fix(guardrails):** Vision Bridge's individual-model auto-reroute (route an image-bearing request straight to a vision-capable model instead of describe-then-forward) could bypass a policy-restricted API key's model allowlist/budget ([#6640](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6640)) — `VisionBridgeGuardrail.preCall()` (`src/lib/guardrails/visionBridge.ts`) swaps `body.model` to the best available vision-capable model, but that swap happens in the guardrail pipeline AFTER `chat.ts` already called `enforceApiKeyPolicy()` against the ORIGINAL model, so a key scoped to a narrow `allowedModels` list could still execute against an unvetted (and possibly costlier) vision model the reroute picked. `chat.ts` now re-validates any guardrail-driven model change against the same per-key allowlist (`isModelAllowedForKey`) before honoring it, falling back to the original already-approved model when the reroute target is not allowed. The reroute path also now honors an explicit `settings.visionBridgeModel` operator override (previously ignored, unlike the combo/describe path a few lines below it, which already respects it via `getVisionBridgeConfig`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/guardrails/visionBridge.test.ts` (22 tests). (thanks @herjarsa)
+- **fix(auth):** an API key restricted via `allowedModels`/`allowedCombos` could bypass that restriction entirely over the Codex Responses-over-WebSocket bridge ([#6564](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6564)) — `prepare()` in `src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts` authenticated the WS bridge's API key (`authenticate()`/`authorizeWebSocketHandshake()`) and honored `allowedConnections`, but never called `enforceApiKeyPolicy()`, the same model/combo policy gate the HTTP `/v1/responses` path enforces via `handleChat()` — so a key scoped to e.g. `combo/model-1.0` could still reach a direct Codex model like `gpt-5.5` through this transport, as long as an eligible Codex OAuth connection existed. The bridge's WS auth token arrives via query params (`api_key`/`token`/`access_token`), not a normal `Authorization` header, so a new `enforceCodexWsApiKeyPolicy()` builds an equivalent `Request` carrying an explicit `Authorization: Bearer <apiKey>` header and calls `enforceApiKeyPolicy()` against the CLIENT-requested model, before any Codex-specific model remapping or credential selection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-ws-policy-enforcement-6564.test.ts` (a model-restricted key is rejected 403 before reaching credential selection; a combo-restricted key is rejected 403 requesting a disallowed combo; a key that DOES allow the requested model still proceeds past policy). (thanks @Squawk7777 for the report and an independent fix via #6565)
+- **fix(security):** loopback-gate `/api/middleware/*` so a leaked JWT over a tunnel can't install or trigger a middleware hook — middleware hooks compile + run arbitrary JS via `new vm.Script` on the request hot path (`src/lib/middleware/registry.ts`), the same RCE class as the already-gated `/api/plugins/*`; `/api/middleware/` is now in `LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` so loopback enforcement runs unconditionally before any auth check (Hard Rules #15 + #17). Regression guard: `tests/unit/route-guard-middleware-local-only.test.ts`. ([#6541](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6541)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(startup):** AgentBridge's MITM server no longer fails to start with `ROUTER_API_KEY is required` on a normal install ([#6403](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6403)) — `POST /api/tools/agent-bridge/server` resolved the spawned MITM child's router key from only an explicit `apiKey` body field (never sent by the AgentBridge UI — the schema has no such field) and the `ROUTER_API_KEY` env var (unset by default), so `startMitm()` always received `""` and the child hard-exited, even though OmniRoute already had a usable API key in its own DB. A new `resolveRouterApiKey()` now falls back to `pickApiKeyForInternalUse()` (the same DB-backed selector the combo-health-check / cloud-sync internal probes use), resolving in order: explicit key → `ROUTER_API_KEY` env → an existing DB key. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentbridge-mitm-router-key-6403.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** deploying a Cloudflare relay Worker from Dashboard → System → Proxy pool → Cloudflare relay failed immediately with `Cloudflare Worker upload failed: Content-Type must be one of: application/javascript, text/javascript, multipart/form-data`, even with a valid token/account ([#6416](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6416)) — the Worker-script upload built a native `FormData` and let `fetch` derive the multipart Content-Type automatically, but in production `globalThis.fetch` is patched with `node_modules/undici`'s own fetch (`open-sse/utils/proxyFetch.ts`), whose `FormData`/`Request` classes differ from the runtime's global `FormData` (same cross-realm class mismatch already fixed once for image edits in #3273); passing a native `FormData` instance through undici's patched fetch made it serialize the body as the literal string `"[object FormData]"` with `Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8`, which Cloudflare rejects outright. `buildCloudflareWorkerUploadRequest()` (`src/lib/proxyRelay/cloudflareWorkerScript.ts`) now builds the multipart body as a raw `Buffer` with an explicit boundary and `Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=…` header, accepted verbatim by any fetch implementation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloudflare-worker-upload-content-type-6416.test.ts` + updated `tests/unit/relay-deploy-5128.test.ts`.
+- **fix(security):** SSRF-guard the provider-validation probes so they can no longer be used as an open relay to cloud-metadata endpoints — `directHttpsRequest()` (web-cookie / NVIDIA / Z.AI validation, all with a caller-controllable `baseUrl`) ran with `guard:"none"` + `allowRedirect:true`; it now applies `getProviderValidationGuard()` (default `block-metadata`: LAN/localhost allowed, `169.254.169.254`/link-local IMDS rejected, opt-out via `OMNIROUTE_ALLOW_PRIVATE_PROVIDER_URLS`) and `allowRedirect:false` so a provider can't 3xx-redirect the probe to metadata past the initial-URL guard. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-validation-ssrf-guard.test.ts`. ([#6542](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6542)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(startup):** AgentBridge's MITM proxy served a mismatched cert for 3 of the 4 antigravity/cloudcode-pa hosts it terminates TLS for, breaking interception ([#6494](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6494)) — `src/mitm/server.cjs`'s `TARGET_HOSTS` decrypts all 4 hosts locally (`daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`, `cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`, `daily-cloudcode-pa.sandbox.googleapis.com`, `autopush-cloudcode-pa.sandbox.googleapis.com`), but `src/mitm/cert/generate.ts`'s self-signed cert only carried a SAN entry for the first host — a request to any of the other 3 got served a cert whose CN/SAN didn't match (confirmed via `curl -k https://cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com/` showing `CN=daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`). `generateCert()` now sources its host list from `ANTIGRAVITY_TARGET.hosts` (`src/mitm/targets/antigravity.ts`, the single authoritative registry already kept in lock-step with `server.cjs`/`dnsConfig.ts`/`mitmToolHosts.ts` by their own drift tests) and emits a SAN entry for all 4 hosts instead of hard-coding a second, incomplete copy. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentbridge-antigravity-cert-hosts-6494.test.ts` (asserts the host list covers all 4 hosts and that the real generated cert's SAN includes each one).
+- **fix(resilience):** a `priority` combo never fell back when a target masked credit/quota exhaustion behind an HTTP 200 ([#6427](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6427)) — `validateResponseQuality()` (`open-sse/services/combo/validateQuality.ts`) only inspected the response body's top-level `error` field when `choices` was ALSO missing/empty (the narrower #3424 empty-completion case); a masked 200 that echoed a non-empty stub `choices` alongside a structured error object, or a known exhaustion phrase (e.g. "insufficient credits", "quota exceeded") in the error envelope, slipped through as "valid" and the combo kept returning the dead target's response forever instead of failing over. The quality check now inspects the error envelope — a top-level OpenAI-shape `error` object, or a bounded, case-insensitive exhaustion-phrase match against `error.message`/`error.code`/`error.type`/top-level `message`/`detail` — unconditionally, before any shape-specific branch, and regardless of whether `choices`/`output` also look structurally present. The check never inspects `choices[].message.content`, so a legitimate completion that merely mentions "quota" or "credits" in assistant prose is not misclassified. Regression guard: `tests/unit/masked-200-exhaustion-fallback-6427.test.ts`.
+- **fix(security):** fail-closed CORS for the cookie/session-authed cloud-agent management routes — `getCloudAgentCorsHeaders()` reflected any caller's `Origin` and paired it with `Allow-Credentials: true` (a CSRF/exfil hole); it now defers to the central allowlist (`resolveAllowedOrigin`), echoes only an allowlisted origin with `Vary: Origin`, and emits `Allow-Credentials` only for an explicitly allowlisted origin — never for a `CORS_ALLOW_ALL` wildcard echo. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloud-agent-cors-failclosed.test.ts`. ([#6543](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6543)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(compression):** adaptive-compression ladder ranked 6 real catalog engines (`ccr`, `ionizer`, `relevance`, `llmlingua`, `llm`, `read-lifecycle`) as if they didn't exist ([#6533](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6533)) — `ladder.ts`'s `AGGRESSIVENESS` and `REDUCTION_FACTOR` maps only covered the 7 engines wired into `DEFAULT_LADDER` (session-dedup/rtk/headroom/lite/caveman/aggressive/ultra); every other engine registered in `open-sse/services/compression/engines/index.ts` — including `ccr`/`llmlingua`, which the ladder doc comment already says are intentionally addable via `ladderOverride` — fell through to `aggressivenessOf()`'s `?? 0` default (same rank as `"off"`) and `expectedReductionFactor()`'s generic `?? 0.9` fallback, so `floor`-mode escalation could not rank or escalate past them once added to a custom ladder. Both maps now carry entries for all 6 missing real engines, rescaled ×10 (`off:0` … `ultra:70`) and placed by each engine's documented `stackPriority` (`ionizer` between `rtk`/`headroom`, `relevance` before `caveman`, `llmlingua`/`llm` between `aggressive` and `ultra`, etc.); `mcpAccessibility` — named in the report — is not a registered `CompressionEngine` (it's a separate MCP tool-response truncation mechanism) and was correctly left out. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ladder-engine-maps-6533.test.ts` (asserts every id from `listCompressionEngines()` ranks above `"off"` with a non-default reduction factor). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** tool-call arguments could render as `[object Object]` sequences instead of the real JSON through the `/anthropic` (Anthropic-shape `/messages`) routing path ([#6459](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6459)) — `appendToolCallArgumentDelta()` (`open-sse/utils/toolCallArguments.ts`), the shared accumulator the streaming `openai-to-claude` response translator, `openai-responses` translator, and `responsesTransformer` all call to build up a tool call's `arguments`/`input_json_delta` buffer, treated any non-string `incoming` fragment as an empty string. Some upstreams deliver the full `tool_calls[].function.arguments` value as an already-parsed JSON object/array instead of the OpenAI-contracted JSON-encoded string; the old code silently discarded that fragment, leaving `tool_use.input` empty, and left downstream buffers open to a plain string coercion of the object (`[object Object]`) once client-side concatenation kicked in. `appendToolCallArgumentDelta()` now `JSON.stringify()`s a non-string, non-null object/array fragment into a valid JSON fragment instead of dropping it, so the assembled `partial_json` always parses back into the original structured value. Regression guard: `tests/unit/anthropic-toolcall-args-6459.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(providers):** `fusion` combo returned the opaque `"All fusion panel models failed"` 503 even when only a minority of panel members were actually cooling down / rate-limited, and a user-supplied `fusionTuning.minPanel=1` was silently overridden ([#6454](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6454)) — `handleFusionChat()` hard-clamped the quorum floor via `Math.min(Math.max(2, cfg.minPanel), panel.length)`, so an operator-configured `minPanel=1` never took effect: `collectPanel()`'s straggler-grace timer only starts once `ok >= minPanel`, and with the floor forced to 2 a single fast success plus N slow-failing stragglers never reached quorum, so the panel sat waiting instead of degrading to the survivor. Per-member failure reasons (`straggler_dropped`/`timeout`/`threw`/`status_XXX`/`empty_content`/`unparseable`) were also logged server-side but never surfaced in the 503 body, leaving operators unable to tell a rate-limit fan-fail from a broader outage. Fixed by honoring `Math.max(1, cfg.minPanel)` and threading a `failures: Array<{ model, reason }>` collector into the 503 message (`model=reason` per entry) — production fix already merged via #6521; this entry backfills the missing CHANGELOG bullet and adds an 11-member, `fusion-free`-scale regression test matching the original repro shape (a cooling minority must not sink a healthy majority; a genuinely all-failed panel still returns the documented 503). Regression guard: `tests/unit/services/fusion-min-panel-and-failure-detail.test.ts` + `tests/unit/fusion-partial-panel-failure-6454.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(providers):** `fusion` combo strategy silently returned a panel member's raw answer instead of the configured `config.judgeModel` synthesis ([#6455](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6455)) — `handleFusionChat()`'s single-survivor "degrade gracefully" path (added for #6454) returned the lone panel answer directly whenever only one panelist succeeded, regardless of whether an explicit `judgeModel` was configured; with the default `minPanel: 2` and a 2-model panel, any single flaky/rate-limited panelist forced this path on every request, so the configured judge (e.g. `auto/claude-opus`) was never invoked and the client-visible `.model` reflected whichever panelist happened to survive. The judge is now still invoked to synthesize a lone surviving answer whenever `judgeModel` is explicitly configured; the cheap direct-answer shortcut is kept only for the implicit case (no `judgeModel` set, where the "judge" is just `panel[0]`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/fusion-judge-model-6455.test.ts` + updated `tests/unit/combo-fusion-strategy.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(combo):** sanitized diagnostic trace on an auto-combo terminal failure — instead of an opaque 503, a terminal combo failure now returns a whitelist-projected trace (candidate pool size, attempted count, excluded provider/reason codes, attempt order, and a terminal-reason code) via the new `errorResponseWithComboDiagnostics()`/`sanitizeComboDiagnostics()` in `open-sse/utils/error.ts` — provider/model ids and enumerated reason codes only, never keys/tokens/bodies, length- and count-capped. A reasoning-budget-exhausted panel now returns an actionable "increase max_tokens" message rather than a blind retry-limit 503. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-diagnostics-trace.test.ts`. ([#6545](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6545)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** image/diffusion models discovered from an upstream catalog (e.g. HuggingFace's live `/v1/models`) are no longer advertised as chat models ([#6457](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6457)) — the chat catalog builder defaulted synced models with no modality info to `endpoints: ["chat"]`, so `huggingface/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0` showed up in the chat `/v1/models` listing and returned `400 "not a chat model"` when called. `catalog.ts` now skips any synced model already registered as an image model for that provider (via the new `isRegisteredImageModel()`), leaving `getAllImageModels()` to list it with the correct `type: "image"`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/image-model-not-in-chat-catalog-6457.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** combo session stickiness never released a pin on a credits-exhausted/banned/expired account, permanently defeating failover for that conversation ([#6692](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6692)) — `applySessionStickiness()` (`open-sse/services/combo/sessionStickiness.ts`) gated the sticky pin only on 5h/weekly usage-percentage headroom, which is orthogonal to account availability: a `credits_exhausted`/`banned`/`expired` connection, or one still inside its `rateLimitedUntil` cooldown, reports perfectly healthy headroom, so the pin was force-promoted back to the front of the target list on every subsequent turn. `clearStickyBinding()` also had zero call sites in `combo.ts`'s failure paths, so a quality-validation-rejected 200 (a masked daily-cap refusal) never released the pin either. The gate now also resolves the bound connection's terminal status/cooldown via a new injectable fetcher seam (fail-open on lookup errors, mirroring the existing saturation fetcher), and `combo.ts`'s two dispatchers (`handleComboChat`/`handleRoundRobinCombo`) release the pin immediately at both their connection-exhaustion classification point and their quality-validation-failure branch via the new `releaseStickyPinOnFailure()`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6692-sticky-terminal.test.ts` + extended `tests/unit/combo-session-stickiness.test.ts`.
+- **fix(test):** replace the bare `expect(true).toBe(true)` tautology in `playground-api-tab.test.tsx`'s SSE test and close the `check:test-masking` gap that let it slip through for a full cycle ([#6404](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6404)) — a prior pass (#6548) had already swapped the literal to `expect(sendBtn).toBeDefined()`, but that stayed just as vacuous: the test's fetch mock returned an empty `/v1/models` list, so `ApiTab`'s Send button is always `disabled` (`!selectedModel`) and the SSE branch never runs — the "SSE infra is verified" comment was never true. The test now mocks a real model, drives the model `<select>` to enable Send, asserts `sendBtn.disabled === false` before clicking, and asserts the streamed SSE delta (`"Hello!"`) actually reached the response editor. Root cause on the detector side: `check-test-masking.mjs`'s tautology subcheck only compares base-vs-HEAD counts within a PR's own diff (`headExtTaut > baseExtTaut`) and no-ops locally when `GITHUB_BASE_SHA`/`GITHUB_BASE_REF` are unset ("sem base ref — pulando") — so a tautology merged once, or checked with a bare local run, was invisible forever after. Added a new always-on, PR-independent absolute-floor scan (`scanBareTautologies` + `countBareTautologies`) over every git-tracked test file for the bare `expect(true).toBe(true)` / `assert.equal(1,1)` / `assert.strictEqual(1,1)` patterns specifically (deliberately excluding `assert.ok(true)`, which has ~15 pre-existing verified-legitimate try/catch-fallback uses repo-wide and stays governed by the lenient diff-only subcheck) — verified zero pre-existing hits repo-wide once this file was fixed, so the new floor is safe to enforce unconditionally. Regression guard: `tests/unit/check-test-masking.test.ts` (new `scanBareTautologies`/`countBareTautologies` cases) + `tests/unit/ui/playground-api-tab.test.tsx`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(oauth):** Codex/ChatGPT (and every other OAuth provider) connection stays stuck showing "Auth Failed" even after a genuinely successful token refresh ([#6352](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6352)) — `updateProviderCredentials()` (the shared `onPersist` callback for the manual "Refresh token" route, the reactive per-request refresh in `chat.ts`, and the Codex/Claude auth-file importers) correctly reused the stored `refresh_token`, persisted the new `access_token`, and replaced a rotated `refresh_token`, but never cleared the stale `testStatus`/`lastError*`/`errorCode` fields left over from a prior expired/invalid refresh or upstream 401/403 — only the separate background health-check sweep did that clearing. A successful refresh now resets `testStatus` to `"active"` and clears `lastError`, `lastErrorAt`, `lastErrorType`, `lastErrorSource`, and `errorCode` (an explicit `testStatus` from the caller still wins). Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-oauth-refresh-persist-6352.test.ts`.
+- **perf(health):** short-TTL (1s) cache for the frequently-polled `GET /api/monitoring/health` payload — rebuilding it every request (DB reads + status aggregation across 8 subsystems) was wasteful under rapid polling; the cache stays near-real-time and is invalidated immediately on `DELETE` (circuit-breaker reset) so a manual reset is reflected at once. Regression guard: `tests/integration/monitoring-health-cache.test.ts`. ([#6553](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6553)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(resilience):** `headroom` combo routing did not always select the Codex account with the most free quota ([#6379](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6379)) — `orderTargetsByHeadroom` (`open-sse/services/combo/quotaStrategies.ts`) already loaded the per-connection DB snapshot (with decrypted credentials) via `expandTargetsByQuotaAwareConnections`, but discarded it before calling `getSaturation`; for Codex, `fetchCodexSaturation` forwards straight to `fetchCodexQuota(connectionId, connection)`, which needs `connection` (or a prior `registerCodexConnection()` call, which never happens before headroom ranking runs) to read `accessToken` — so it returned `null` for every candidate, saturation failed open to `0` across the board, and ranking fell back to the original combo order regardless of actual free quota. `getSaturation()` and the headroom `SaturationFetcher` seam now accept and thread the loaded connection snapshot through to `fetchCodexQuota`. Kilo's dup flag vs #5903 was a false positive — that issue is about session-sticky reset-aware/least-used selection, not headroom's Codex saturation lookup. Regression guard: `tests/unit/headroom-codex-quota-snapshot-6379.test.ts`. (thanks @eidoog)
+- **fix(providers):** custom models a provider actually has are no longer dropped from the Free Provider Rankings when both **"Configured only"** and **"Available only"** filters are applied ([#6368](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6368)), follow-up to #6150 — `freeProviderRankings.ts::getProviderModels()` only ever walked the static `open-sse/config/providerRegistry.ts` catalog, so a user-added custom model (e.g. a Puter `claude-fable-5` model saved as "Claude Fable 5") never entered the candidate model list the ranking scores against, and could never survive the #6150 configured/available filters even when actually configured and available. It now additively merges the provider's custom models (`db/models.ts::getCustomModels`) into that candidate list via a new pure, de-duping `mergeProviderModels()` helper, before scoring/filtering runs — catalog free/paid filtering elsewhere is untouched. Regression guard: `tests/unit/free-provider-rankings-custom-models-6368.test.ts`. (thanks @shabeer)
+- **fix(playground):** accept a valid dashboard session for `GET/POST /api/playground/presets` under `REQUIRE_API_KEY=true` — the Playground page calls this route with a cookie/session and no API key, which previously 401'd the authenticated dashboard; `checkAuth()` now accepts a management/dashboard session (`requireManagementAuth`) as an alternative to an API key, while a presented API key must still be valid and the anonymous-allowed default is preserved. Regression guard: `tests/integration/presets-dashboard-auth.test.ts`. ([#6554](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6554)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** `cloudflare-ai` no longer silently drops image/non-text content parts ([#6390](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6390)) — `transformRequest()`'s `flattenContent()` (added for #2539 to satisfy the Workers AI `/ai/v1/chat/completions` plain-string `content` requirement) mapped any non-text OpenAI content part (e.g. `image_url`) to `""` and joined the rest, so a request carrying an image quietly went out as text-only with the attachment gone and no error surfaced. It now throws a clear error on the first non-text part instead of dropping it silently, which the existing top-level `chatCore.ts` catch already routes through `buildErrorBody()`/`sanitizeErrorMessage()` (same pattern as `buildUrl()`'s missing-Account-ID error). Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloudflare-ai-image-parts-6390.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** stop Antigravity connections from falsely reporting **all-accounts quota-exhausted** ([#6295](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6295)) — `genericQuotaFetcher.ts::percentUsedForQuota()` ignored the `fractionReported` flag and defaulted an unreported model's `remainingPercentage` to 0, which computed as 100% used; since `convertUsageToQuotaInfo()` takes the worst-case window across a connection, a single model with no reported fraction dragged the whole account into `limitReached` and `quotaPreflight` skipped it. `percentUsedForQuota()` now returns `null` (unknown, window ignored) whenever `fractionReported === false`, before falling back to `remainingPercentage`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/generic-quota-fetcher.test.ts`.
+- **fix(fusion):** the fusion judge no longer replays a panel member's answer via an idempotency-key collision — fusion's panel + judge sub-requests re-enter `chatCore` sharing the client's headers, so they derived the same `Idempotency-Key`/`x-request-id` and a panel answer saved under the key was replayed by the judge's check ~1ms later (inside the 5s window), returning a panel member's answer instead of the judge synthesis (observed live on `nexa/conversation-fusion`). `composeIdempotencyKey()` now namespaces the key by target provider/model + a digest of the request messages, so sub-requests can't collide while a genuine client retry (same key/model/body) still replays. Regression guard: `tests/unit/idempotency-fusion-collision.test.ts`. ([#6558](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6558)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** grok-cli (Grok Build) now strips `reasoning_effort`/`reasoning` before forwarding the request ([#6288](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6288)) — Claude Code sends `reasoning_effort` on every request (routing the Opus slot), which Grok Build's upstream chat-proxy endpoint rejects with a 400; `transformRequest()`'s existing `UNSUPPORTED` sampling-param strip list (#5273) never covered it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/grok-cli-reasoning-strip-6288.test.ts`.
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute serve` no longer hangs silently on a readiness timeout ([#6321](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6321)) — the child server's stdout was piped to `"ignore"` whenever `--log`/`OMNIROUTE_SHOW_LOG` wasn't set (the default), discarding any debug output, and `runWithSupervisor`'s `waitForServer(...).then((up) => { if (up) {...} })` had no `else` branch, so a boot that never became ready produced zero further output after "⏳ Starting server...". Stdout is now buffered alongside stderr (`ServerSupervisor.getRecentLog()`), and a timeout prints a clear diagnostic plus the buffered output instead of staying silent. Does not by itself explain why boot never completes on a given machine — see the issue for further reproduction. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli-serve-readiness-timeout-6321.test.ts`.
+- **fix(pricing):** Pricing Sync dashboard no longer stuck on "Next Sync: Never" / "Synced Models: 0" ([#6325](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6325)) — `pricingSync.ts` kept sync state (`lastSyncTime`, `lastSyncModelCount`) in module-level vars, but the background periodic sync (`instrumentation-node.ts`) and the dashboard status route (`/api/pricing/sync`) each import the module from separate Next.js standalone webpack chunks, giving each its own independent state; `getSyncStatus()` read the (empty) API-route instance's vars. Sync status is now additionally persisted to a new `pricing_sync_status` `key_value` namespace and `getSyncStatus()` falls back to it when the local module instance never ran a sync itself. Regression guard: `tests/unit/pricing-sync-cross-instance.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** stop spuriously 403-ing "Invalid request origin" on `POST /api/providers/health-autopilot/actions` for Docker/LAN dashboard requests ([#6277](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6277)) — the route carried a duplicate per-route `validateBrowserMutationOrigin` check re-added by the v3.8.42 release squash after PR #5278 centralized origin enforcement in the authz pipeline; the pipeline strips `PEER_IP_HEADER` before forwarding, so the stale duplicate check could no longer resolve the LAN "direct-local-host" candidate and rejected legitimate same-origin LAN mutations (e.g. clicking "remove cooldown" when accessed via a LAN IP). Removed the duplicate check — origin validation is now solely enforced by the centralized pipeline check, which already handles this case correctly. Regression guard: `tests/unit/serial/provider-health-autopilot.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** a bare, unrecognized `403` from a no-credential (`authType:"none"`) provider like mimocode or theoldllm no longer permanently bans the connection ([#6315](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6315), [#6345](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6345)) — `classifyProviderError()`'s 403 branch only exempted `apikey` providers from the terminal `FORBIDDEN` classification, so these free/stateless proxies (no real account/credential to revoke) fell through to `FORBIDDEN` on the first unmatched 403 and got `isActive:false, testStatus:"banned"` with no cooldown or retry. The exemption now also covers `authType:"none"` providers, returning `null` (recoverable) so the existing connection-cooldown/retry layer handles it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/errorClassifier-noauth-403-6315.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** the **Auggie (Augment CLI)** executor no longer fails on Windows with `spawn EINVAL` ([#6304](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6304)) — the global-npm install exposes `auggie` as a `.cmd` shim, which Node's `child_process.spawn` cannot launch on win32 without `shell: true`. Both spawn sites (streaming + the `auggie --version` test) now go through a shared `buildAuggieSpawnOptions()` that sets `shell: process.platform === "win32"`; the argv (built by `buildAuggieArgs()` with a registry-validated `model` and a trailing `--` end-of-options marker) is unchanged, so the argument-injection surface stays closed on non-Windows. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auggie-win32-spawn-6304.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** the dashboard **"Test model"** action is now a clean connection test ([#6240](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6240)) — `modelTestRunner` sent its probe request without an explicit compression override, so whenever the operator's global `compression.enabled` flag was on the test call inherited compression (and any Output-Styles system prompt), polluting the result. The internal test requests now send `X-OmniRoute-Compression: off`, and `chatCore` honors an explicit `off` header even when `compression.enabled` is globally true. Regression guards: `tests/unit/model-test-runner-compression-off-6240.test.ts`, `tests/integration/test-model-compression-off-6240.test.ts`.
+- **fix(startup):** an update/restart could crash the whole server at boot with `TypeError: Cannot create property 'message' on string 'Database closed'`, masking the real failure and 500-ing every request until manually restarted ([#6560](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6560), plausibly the root cause of #6594's post-upgrade 500) — `driverFactory.ts::preInitSqlJs()` cached its sql.js WASM adapter per file path in a `globalThis`-backed map for idempotency, but never checked whether the cached adapter had since been closed (e.g. by `gracefulShutdown`/`resetDbInstance` racing a reload); reusing that dead handle made the very next query throw sql.js's own bare string `"Database closed"` (not an `Error`) straight out of `instrumentation-node.ts`'s previously-unguarded `ensureDbInitialized()` call, and Next.js's internal `registerInstrumentation()` wrapper unconditionally does `err.message = ...` on whatever `register()` rejects with — assigning `.message` on a primitive string throws in strict mode, so the secondary `TypeError` is what actually crashed the process. Fixed in two parts: `preInitSqlJs()` now evicts a closed cached adapter and creates a fresh one instead of returning it; a new `ensureDbReadyForBoot()` wraps the DB-init call, normalizes any non-Error throw via `normalizeBootError()`, and retries once specifically for a transient "database closed" message (now succeeding against the fresh adapter) before re-throwing anything else as a real `Error`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/instrumentation-database-closed-6560.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/keys` no longer hangs 20–90+ seconds on a fresh install, even with valid auth ([#6570](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6570)) — `cloudEnabled` defaults to `true` in `src/lib/db/settings.ts::getSettings()` on any install with no persisted settings row (i.e. every fresh install), so the create-key handler's unconditional `await syncKeysToCloudIfEnabled()` always attempted a real outbound `fetch()` to `CLOUD_URL` via `syncToCloud()`; when that endpoint is unset/unreachable/slow, the HTTP response blocked until the request settled or timed out — unlike sibling routes (`POST /api/keys/:id/regenerate`, `GET /api/combos`), which never touch this side effect at all. `src/app/api/keys/route.ts` now dispatches `syncKeysToCloudIfEnabled()` fire-and-forget (`void`) instead of awaiting it; its internal try/catch already logs failures, so cloud sync still runs, it just no longer blocks the response. Regression guard: `tests/unit/api-keys-create-no-hang-6570.test.ts` (asserts the route resolves in well under 2s even when the Cloud-sync `fetch()` is stubbed to never settle) + updated `tests/integration/api-keys.test.ts` (the pre-existing "triggers cloud sync"/"still succeeds when cloud sync fails" tests, which previously hung indefinitely on this exact path, now await the fire-and-forget sync tick before asserting).
+- **fix(api):** editing any existing OpenAI Codex provider connection in the dashboard returned "Invalid request" and the edit could never be saved ([#6562](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6562)) — `createProviderConnection()` (`src/lib/db/providers.ts`) auto-increments a new connection's `priority` to `MAX(priority)+1` per provider with no upper bound, and OAuth-imported connections (Codex `codex-auth/import` / `import-bulk`, up to 50 accounts per call, callable repeatedly — the standard Codex bulk-account-rotation workflow) never pass through `createProviderSchema`'s Zod validation at all, so nothing ever capped that value; `EditConnectionModal`'s `handleSubmit` always resends the connection's current `priority` unchanged on every save, and `updateProviderConnectionSchema` capped `priority`/`globalPriority` at `max(100)` — a UI-only ceiling the create path never enforced — so the first edit of any connection whose priority had already grown past 100 (routine once a Codex account count exceeds 100) failed validation regardless of which field the user actually changed. Raised the ceiling to `max(100_000)` on both fields — still bounded (a genuinely out-of-range value is still rejected), just wide enough to accept priorities the app itself already produces. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-connection-edit-6562.test.ts` (a Codex OAuth connection whose priority already exceeds the old 100 cap now validates + persists on edit; a control payload with a still-genuinely-invalid priority is still rejected with "Invalid request").
+- **mimocode**: rotate accounts on MiMoCode's rate-limit-style 400s (body-classified) instead of failing on the first account; malformed 400s still fail fast with the real upstream error (#6648 — thanks @pizzav-xyz)
+- **fix(cli):** compression CLI REST fallback now reads/writes the canonical `defaultMode` field (surfaced as `strategy`) instead of a nonexistent `engine` key, and table output renders nested objects as JSON instead of `[object Object]` (#6571 — thanks @charleszolot)
+- **fix(providers):** web-cookie providers without a `providerRegistry.ts` entry (`lmarena`, `gemini-business`, `poe-web`, `venice-web`, `v0-vercel-web`) now report `unsupported: true` instead of silently "OK" ([#6309](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6309)) — `validateWebCookieProvider()` (`src/lib/providers/validation.ts`) previously required a registry entry and returned "Provider not found in registry" for these; a fallback to `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS[provider].website` was proposed, but live verification showed the `${website}/models` probe does not reliably signal session validity for these providers (redirects/SPA 200s regardless of cookie validity — e.g. lmarena's real API is `arena.ai`, not `lmarena.ai`; Poe's real endpoint is a GraphQL POST, not a REST `/models`), so it would report an expired or garbage cookie as valid. Until each provider has a verified, side-effect-free auth probe against its real API host, the fallback now returns `unsupported` (no network call) instead of a false positive. Regression guard: `tests/unit/web-cookie-validation-fallback.test.ts`. (thanks @oyi77)
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/middleware/hooks` and `PUT /api/middleware/hooks/[name]` no longer leak raw internal error messages in their 500 responses (#6645 — thanks @chirag127) — both catch blocks returned `error?.message` directly (Hard Rule #12), which could surface internal SQLite path fragments on a DB failure; both now route through `sanitizeErrorMessage()` from `open-sse/utils/error.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/middleware-hooks-error-sanitization.test.ts`.
+- **fix(docker):** compile better-sqlite3 for the server Docker image (Dokploy/self-hosted builds) via a direct `node-gyp rebuild` inside `node_modules/better-sqlite3`, instead of `npm rebuild better-sqlite3` ([#6700](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6700)) — the `builder` stage installs dependencies with `npm ci --ignore-scripts` (deliberate: closes the supply-chain surface where a transitive dep's install script runs arbitrary code) and re-enables the native build for the one package that needs it; `npm rebuild <pkg>` re-runs that indirectly through the package's own install script, which under npm 11 depends on npm's script-allowlist machinery correctly re-enabling it — some self-hosted build environments (e.g. Dokploy) hit a broken/mismatched native binding through that indirection. Invoking `node-gyp rebuild` directly bypasses npm's script-running layer entirely and is deterministic regardless of npm version. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dockerfile-better-sqlite3-node-gyp-6700.test.ts`. (thanks @nowhats-br)
+- **fix(providers):** the Cloudflare relay Worker deploy fix in #6416/#6618 still failed uploads in practice — it changed the multipart Content-Type but kept the emitted worker source as an ES module (`export default { fetch(...) }`) with `main_module` metadata; Cloudflare's Workers upload API parses a plain `application/javascript` script part as Service Worker syntax regardless of the `main_module` metadata field, and `main_module` requires the script to actually be an ES module (top-level `export`), so the mismatch still rejected the upload ([#6496](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6496)). `buildCloudflareWorkerScript()` (`src/lib/proxyRelay/cloudflareWorkerScript.ts`) now emits Service Worker syntax (`addEventListener("fetch", ...)`, no top-level `export`) and the upload metadata uses `body_part` instead of `main_module`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/relay-deploy-5128.test.ts` (asserts the emitted script has no `export default`, registers a `fetch` listener, and the upload metadata carries `body_part`/omits `main_module`; also proves the inlined `isPrivateHostname()` SSRF guard still rejects bracketed IPv6 loopback/ULA hosts like `[::1]`/`[fd00::1]` after the script-body rewrite). (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **fix(providers):** ChatGPT Web (`chatgpt-web`) responses rendered raw ChatGPT UI citation markup — private-use marker tokens (e.g. `citeturn0search0`) and `url…` inline-link markers — instead of real Markdown links, since these only ever get resolved client-side by chatgpt.com's own JS using `message.metadata.content_references` ([#6635](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6635)) — `cleanChatGptText()` now resolves `content_references` (grouped webpages, footnote sources, inline `webpage`/`url` mentions) into `[label](url)` Markdown links for both the streaming and non-streaming response builders, and for the GPT-5.5 Pro `stream_handoff` polled-answer path, falling back to stripping any marker that has no resolvable source instead of leaking the raw private-use bytes. The citation parsing/rendering logic was extracted into a new pure sibling module (`open-sse/executors/chatgpt-web/citations.ts`) to keep the executor under the frozen file-size cap. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chatgpt-web-citations.test.ts` (non-streaming citation resolution, streaming marker buffering across split SSE chunks, and the Pro-handoff polled-answer path). (thanks @Thinkscape)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the live-dashboard WebSocket descriptor handshake (`GET /api/v1/ws?handshake=1`) and the lightweight `GET /api/health/ping` liveness probe both 401'd for unauthenticated callers, even though both are metadata-only reads intended to be public ([#6335](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6335)) — `clientApiPolicy` required a bearer/dashboard-session before the WS route handler could even return its own `wsAuth`/protocol descriptor, and `/api/health/ping` was never added to `PUBLIC_READONLY_API_ROUTE_PREFIXES` despite its own docstring documenting it as "No auth required." `clientApiPolicy.evaluate()` now allows an anonymous `{kind:"anonymous", id:"ws-handshake"}` subject for GET/HEAD/OPTIONS on `/api/v1/ws?handshake=1` (the route handler still performs its own real wsAuth/dashboard/API-key decision before opening the socket), and `/api/health/ping` is now in `PUBLIC_READONLY_API_ROUTE_PREFIXES`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/authz/client-api-policy.test.ts` (WS handshake allowed, including relative request URLs), `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`, and `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts` (`/api/health/ping` classified `PUBLIC`). (thanks @JxnLexn)
+- fix(providers): wire the Devin cloud-agent provider into the generic provider-page validator and static model catalog, matching the existing `jules` cloud-agent pattern (#6142)

+- **fix(providers):** modernize the `lmarena` provider for the Arena.ai rebrand — route chat through `arena.ai` create-evaluation with Chrome TLS impersonation, seed a static Direct-chat Text/Search + Image catalog, and keep the `lmarena`/`lma` wire id for back-compat ([#6280](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6280)) — thanks @backryun
+- **fix(providers):** web-provider model discovery updated — qwen-web uses the slash-terminated models endpoint (avoiding a blocked 307 redirect), and kimi-web matches the current request shape (POST with bearer + `kimi-auth` cookie replay) with its catalog refreshed to the current non-agent models (#6308 — thanks @janeza2).

+- **fix(routing):** the `auto` combo's no-auth candidate pool now honors a disabled provider connection's own `isActive=false` (the toggle on the main Providers grid card), not just the separate global `blockedProviders` setting — disabling opencode/mimocode/etc. via the grid toggle no longer leaves it in rotation ([#6557](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6557)).
+- **fix(sse):** server-tool literal names (e.g. `web_search`) are preserved in message history and `tool_choice` instead of being namespaced/rewritten, so follow-up turns referencing those tools keep working (#6586 — thanks @MikeTuev).

+- **fix(antigravity):** surface aborted/malformed Gemini tool calls (e.g. `MALFORMED_FUNCTION_CALL`) as an explicit non-`end_turn` finish reason instead of a silent clean completion. (thanks @anhdiepmmk)
+- **fix(routing):** the reasoning-token headroom buffer clamps to the model's explicit output cap instead of inflating past it, and `getExplicitModelOutputCap` falls through to the registry/spec cap when a synced capability row exists without a numeric `limit_output` ([#6714](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6714)) — thanks @xz-dev
+- **fix(api):** `omniroute health` (and `health components`/`health watch`) returned `Error: HTTP 404` ([#6677](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6677)) — `bin/cli/commands/health.mjs` called `apiFetch("/api/health", ...)`, a route that was moved to `GET /api/monitoring/health` (`src/app/api/monitoring/health/route.ts`) without updating the CLI; `src/app/api/health/` on disk only has `degradation/route.ts` and `ping/route.ts`, no top-level handler. `runHealthCommand()`/`runHealthComponentsCommand()` now call `/api/monitoring/health` and read its actual payload shape (`activeConnections`, `circuitBreakers: {open, halfOpen, closed}`, `memoryUsage`) instead of the old, nonexistent `requests`/`breakers`/`cache`/`memory` fields. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli-health-monitoring-route.test.ts`.
+- **fix(startup):** webpack build broke on case-insensitive filesystems (macOS APFS default, Windows) with a casing-collision warning plus "not exported" errors in `StudioConfigPane.tsx`/`ChatTab.tsx` (#6584) — `src/app/(dashboard)/dashboard/playground/components/ReasoningControls.tsx` (the component) and `reasoningControls.ts` (the utils module) shared the same lower-cased stem in the same directory, and two importers used the extensionless form `from "./reasoningControls"`, the exact resolution path that becomes ambiguous once casing is folded. Renamed the utils module to `reasoningControlUtils.ts` (no collision) and updated the 3 import sites. Regression guard: `tests/unit/case-collision-6584.test.ts` (scans `src/`/`open-sse/` for any same-directory, case-only filename collision). (#6584)
+- **fix(build):** Turbopack production build emitted an "Overly broad patterns can lead to build performance issues" warning per entry point importing `src/lib/agentSkills/generator.ts` (603 warnings reported on v3.8.46, up from 379 on v3.8.45) ([#6582](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6582)) — `generator.ts`'s `outputBase` is built as `path.isAbsolute(outputDir) ? outputDir : path.join(process.cwd(), outputDir)`, where `outputDir` is a runtime function parameter, not a compile-time literal, so Turbopack's build-time file-tracing analyzer can't statically narrow the several dynamic `readdirSync`/`rmSync`/`readFileSync`/`writeFileSync` call sites a few lines below and falls back to a project-wide glob; #6366's commit message claimed to "anchor the base path with a literal" but the shipped code never did. Since this fs access is legitimate and bounded (`skills/<id>/SKILL.md`, ~48 known IDs), `next.config.mjs`'s `turbopack.ignoreIssue` (Next.js 16.2+) now suppresses this specific, known-benign diagnostic, mirroring the existing `webpack.ignoreWarnings`/`isNextIntlExtractorDynamicImportWarning` precedent already in the same file for the webpack path. Regression guard: `tests/unit/next-config.test.ts` (asserts the `turbopack.ignoreIssue` rule shape targeting `src/lib/agentSkills/**`).
+- **fix(providers):** Codex Desktop requests to `gpt-5.3-codex-spark` failed with `[400]: Tool 'image_generation' is not supported with gpt-5.3-codex-spark`, even on paid-plan accounts ([#6651](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6651)) — `CodexExecutor.transformRequest` (`open-sse/executors/codex.ts`) only dropped the Codex Desktop-injected `image_generation` hosted tool when `isCodexFreePlan()` matched the account's plan, with no awareness that Spark-scope Codex models reject `image_generation` upstream regardless of plan. `dropImageGeneration` now also drops it when `getCodexModelScope(model) === "spark"` (the existing Spark classifier from `open-sse/config/codexQuotaScopes.ts`), independent of account plan. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-spark-image-generation.test.ts` (thanks @alltomatos for independently catching and fixing it via #6819).
+- **fix(providers):** the provider quota card's weekly/session bars re-sorted by remaining percentage instead of staying in a fixed, deterministic order ([#6687](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6687)) — `QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`'s `sortQuotasByRemaining()` (added in #5977) was applied unconditionally via `useMemo(() => sortQuotasByRemaining(quotas), [quotas])`, undoing the deterministic `CODEX_QUOTA_ORDER`/`GLM_QUOTA_ORDER` window order `quotaParsing.ts`'s `sortCodexOrder()`/`sortGlmOrder()` (added in #6336) already established for Codex and the GLM family — since #6336 never touched `QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`, the two orderings never composed, so e.g. a Codex `session` window with less headroom than `weekly` rendered after it instead of staying first. A new `hasFixedQuotaOrder()` (`quotaParsing.ts`) and `resolveQuotaDisplayOrder()` (`QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`) now skip the remaining-% re-sort for providers with a fixed window order, threading `providerId` from `QuotaCard.tsx` through to the display layer; every other provider still gets the remaining-% sort. Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-card-expanded-fixed-order-6687.test.ts`.
+- **fix(i18n):** pt-BR was missing 194 UI keys present in `en.json` — a real, silent data-sync gap, not covered by any duplicate/mislabeled #6694 (that issue's 9 `providers.*` keys are disjoint, present-but-untranslated sentinels caused by a separate `providerText()` fallback bug) ([#6695](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6695)) — `scripts/i18n/sync-ui-keys.mjs` (which mirrors newly-added `en.json` keys into every locale) wasn't re-run after recent `en.json` additions, and the CI `i18n:check-ui-coverage` gate only fails a locale below an 80% threshold, so pt-BR stayed green at 93.8% coverage despite the gap. Backfilled all 194 missing keys into `src/i18n/messages/pt-BR.json` (translated to Brazilian Portuguese, no leftover `__MISSING__` markers) via `npm run i18n:sync-ui -- --locale=pt-BR` + manual translation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-pt-br.test.ts` (new case asserting full `en.json`→`pt-BR.json` key parity, so a future drift fails a fast unit test instead of silently degrading the coverage percentage).
+- **fix(startup):** `omniroute --mcp` crashed at Node ESM link time with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND` for `ioredis` on installs where the published MCP bundle didn't happen to have `ioredis` rescued from a parent `node_modules` ([#6559](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6559)) — `src/shared/utils/rateLimiter.ts` had a top-level static `import Redis from "ioredis"`; that module is only ever reached via a lazy `await import(...)` several call-sites deep in the MCP tool chain, but esbuild's `--packages=external` bundling of the MCP server (`scripts/build/prepublish.ts` Step 8.5) still hoisted rateLimiter.ts's own static import into a real top-level ESM import in the compiled `dist/open-sse/mcp-server/server.js`, forcing Node to resolve `ioredis` at module-link time — before any `--mcp` startup code runs — and `ioredis` is not guaranteed to ship in the MCP-only bundle's `node_modules`. `getRedisClient()` now lazily imports `ioredis` on first use (matching the established soft-dependency pattern in `src/lib/quota/redisQuotaStore.ts`) while still throwing synchronously when Redis isn't configured. Regression guard: `tests/unit/build/mcp-bundle-no-eager-ioredis.test.ts` (bundles the real MCP server entrypoint with the exact publish-time esbuild flags and asserts no top-level static `ioredis` import remains, while the pre-existing lazy `await import("ioredis")` in `redisQuotaStore.ts` stays intact).
+- **fix(providers):** Kiro sent the adaptive-thinking `additionalModelRequestFields` envelope for `claude-sonnet-4.5`/`claude-haiku-4.5`, which Kiro/CodeWhisperer rejects upstream with a raw `[400]: additionalModelRequestFields is not supported for this model` ([#6576](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6576)) — `buildKiroPayload()` (`open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-kiro.ts`) gated the field on the generic Anthropic-API `supportsReasoning()` capability flag, which is `true` for both models on Anthropic's direct API but does not reflect what Kiro's CodeWhisperer backend actually accepts; only `claude-sonnet-5` is confirmed adaptive-thinking-capable there. A new Kiro-specific allowlist (`supportsKiroAdaptiveThinking()` in `open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-kiro/adaptiveThinking.ts`) now gates the envelope instead. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6576-kiro-thinking-unsupported-model.test.ts`.
+- **fix(translator):** Cursor's local **Subagent** tool call is no longer rejected with `cloud_base_branch may only be specified when environment equals cloud` — the Responses→Chat tool-arg cleanup (`stripEmptyOptionalToolArgs`) was scoped to Claude Code's `Read` tool only, so Cursor's `Subagent` tool passed through with the cloud-only `cloud_base_branch: ""` (Cursor treats an empty string as "specified" and rejects the call before starting the local subagent). The cleanup now covers an allowlist of `Read` + `Subagent`; arbitrary tools are still left untouched (empty strings/arrays can be valid payloads for them). Regression guard: `tests/unit/openai-responses-subagent-strip-2446.test.ts`. (thanks @like3213934360-lab)
+- **fix(translator):** GLM 5.2 (and other OpenAI-compatible upstreams that stream a tool call's `id` and `function.name` in **separate** SSE chunks) no longer produce an empty tool name / `No such tool available:` error through the Claude `/messages` path — the `openai-to-claude` streaming translator emitted `content_block_start` immediately on the id-only chunk with an empty `name`, and the Claude SSE protocol cannot patch a block after it is emitted, so the later name-only chunk was silently dropped. It now **defers** `content_block_start` until the tool name arrives (falling back to starting the block when arguments arrive first), so the emitted `tool_use` always carries the real name. Regression guard: `tests/unit/openai-to-claude-glm-split-tool-name-2077.test.ts`. (thanks @itiwant)
+- **fix(resilience):** OmniRoute didn't respect an exhausted Ollama Cloud (or any other apikey-category provider) quota — it retried the account seconds later instead of waiting out the real reset window ([#6638](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6638)) — `shouldPreserveQuotaSignalsFor429()`/`checkFallbackError()` (`open-sse/services/accountFallback.ts`) only applied body-text quota classification (daily/monthly/weekly quota-exhausted detection) to OAuth-category providers; apikey-category 429s (Ollama Cloud, OpenAI, etc.) always fell through to the generic short rate-limit cooldown regardless of what the error body said, and `parseRetryFromErrorText()` also had no support for day-granularity reset hints ("Your quota will reset in 3 days.") — only Xh/Ym/Zs combos. An explicit quota-exhausted signal in the body (`looksLikeQuotaExhausted()`) now overrides the apikey-category default via the new `shouldPreserveQuotaSignals()` (`open-sse/services/quotaResetParsing.ts`), and `parseDayGranularityResetMs()` parses whole-day reset countdowns so the real multi-day window is honored instead of a few seconds of backoff. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6638-ollama-quota.test.ts` + 2 aligned `tests/unit/account-fallback-service.test.ts` cases that previously asserted the buggy rate_limit_exceeded/undefined-dailyQuotaExhausted behavior for apikey-provider quota text.
+- **fix(resilience):** a combo step "pinned" to one fingerprint account (mimocode/mcode/opencode multi-account providers) never actually resolved to that account, so it couldn't fail over when the pinned account was depleted ([#6696](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6696), relates #6612) — the combo builder UI encodes an account pin as a composite connectionId (`${rowId}|fp|${fingerprint}`, `src/lib/combos/builderOptions.ts`), but `expandTargetsByFingerprints()` (`open-sse/services/combo/fingerprintExpansion.ts`) looked that composite string up directly in `connectionById` (keyed by real DB row ids), got `undefined`, and passed the target through unchanged, still carrying the bogus composite id — so downstream credential resolution could never match it either. `expandTargetsByFingerprints()` now splits the `|fp|` composite id back into the real connection row id + the pinned fingerprint (new `splitFingerprintPin()` helper) before any lookup, resolving the target to the real connectionId (with the pinned fingerprint carried on the new `pinnedFingerprint` field) instead of the inert composite string. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-fingerprint-pin-6696.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** Responses passthrough emitted event-only SSE frames (no `data:` line) for every dropped commentary event, breaking the OpenAI Python SDK's `sse.json()` parser ([#6561](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6561)), follow-up to #6199/#6232 — the commentary-drop `continue;` branches in `open-sse/utils/stream.ts` skipped the `data:` line for a dropped commentary event but never cleared the already-buffered `event:` line for that same frame, so the next blank line flushed the stale `event:` line alone. Both drop sites now call `clearPendingPassthroughEvent()` before `continue`, discarding the buffered prefix along with the dropped payload; the commentary-drop decision itself was extracted into a new `open-sse/utils/responsesCommentaryDrop.ts` so the fix does not grow the frozen `stream.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/responses-commentary-event-frame-6561.test.ts` (realistic `event:\ndata:\n\n` frames — the existing #6199 test only used bare `data:` lines and never exercised this path).
+- **fix(compression):** `/api/compression/preview`'s top-level `originalTokens`/`compressedTokens` diverged from `engineBreakdown[0]`'s counts for the same single-engine run (tiktoken outer counts vs the `JSON.stringify(...).length/4` estimate per engine), worst on small inputs. A new `reconcileSingleEngineTokens()` overwrites the single-engine breakdown entry with the outer, more accurate figures; multi-step pipeline breakdowns are left untouched ([#6488](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6488)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression/preview-outer-engine-token-reconcile-6488.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** account selection could pick an account already out of quota upstream on every credentialed route except `chat`/`codex` ([#6686](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6686)) — `getProviderCredentials()` (`src/sse/services/auth.ts`) only skips a connection when a *local cache* already flags it exhausted (`isQuotaExhaustedForRequest`/`src/domain/quotaCache.ts`); it never itself calls the registered upstream `QuotaFetcher`. Only `getProviderCredentialsWithQuotaPreflight()` performs that live upstream check, and it was wired into exactly 2 call sites (`src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, `src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts`) — every other credentialed route (`rerank`, `images/generations`, `images/edits`, `audio/transcriptions|speech|translations`, `videos/generations`, `music/generations`, `ocr`, `providers/[provider]/embeddings`, `providers/[provider]/images/generations`, `web/fetch`, `moderations`, `search`) called the plain, cache-only selector, so an account whose cache entry was never populated (e.g. its first request landed on one of these routes) could be selected even at 0% quota remaining. Those 14 call sites now go through `getProviderCredentialsWithQuotaPreflight()` instead, matching chat/codex coverage. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6686-quota-preflight-coverage.test.ts` (static check that none of the routes call the plain selector anymore + a behavioral check that the preflight-aware selector blocks a 100%-used account).
+- **fix(api):** `reasoning_content` (extended-thinking text) was silently dropped from `/v1/chat/completions` SSE on the `claude-web` and `v0-vercel-web` executors ([#6662](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6662)) — every chunk builder in both adapters hardcoded `delta: { content: ... }` with no reasoning path, unlike the established pattern already used by `default.ts`/`deepseek-web.ts`/`bedrock.ts` and the real-Anthropic-API `claude-to-openai.ts` translator (`thinking_delta` → `reasoning_content`). `v0-vercel-web.ts` now forwards an upstream `delta.reasoning_content` field (streaming and non-streaming) the same way `deepseek-web.ts` does. `claude-web.ts`'s `buildClaudeStreamingResponse` now maps a `content_block_start`(`type: "thinking"`)/`content_block_delta`(`delta.thinking`) pair onto `delta.reasoning_content`, and `claude-web/payload.ts`'s `transformToClaude()` no longer hardcodes `thinking_mode: "off"` — a new `wantsExtendedThinking()` derives it from the request's `reasoning_effort`/`reasoning.effort`/`thinking.type` signal, so extended thinking can actually be requested. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6662-repro.test.ts` (RED→GREEN for both adapters).
+- **fix(api):** the compression config PUT schema now accepts `enableRenderers` for the RTK engine instead of rejecting the documented option (#6703, #6757 — thanks @alltomatos, with an independent duplicate fix from @chirag127 via #6756).
+- **fix(api):** raised the provider `apiKey` length cap for cookie-based web providers, whose session-cookie credentials legitimately exceed the previous limit (#6715, #6759 — thanks @alltomatos).
+- fix(ci): publish electron-updater `latest*.yml` manifests in electron release assets so auto-update can find them ([#6766](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6766))
+- **fix(i18n): translate hardcoded Portuguese dashboard strings to English (#6761, #6768)** (#6769 — thanks @chirag127).
+- fix(providers): strip redundant node prefix when resolving custom OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible connections by raw connection id, preventing double-namespaced model ids from 400ing upstream (#6772)
+- fix(providers): scope nvidia NIM 404s to the single failing model instead of cooling down the whole connection (#6773)
+- **fix(codex):** bump the default Codex CLI client identity from `0.142.0` to `0.144.0` for compatibility with newer Codex-backed models ([#6780](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6780)) — thanks @quanturbo
+- **fix(ci):** the blocking "Impacted unit tests (TIA)" step false-redded any PR whose impact graph reached a dashboard component — it ran every selected test under `--import tsx/esm`, but `tests/unit/dashboard/**` requires the `--import tsx` CJS transform (ESM-only deep imports like `@lobehub/icons/es/*`), exactly as the canonical `test:unit:ci:shard` already does per segment. The impacted selection is now split by segment with matching loaders (closes #6787).
+- **fix(translator):** read PDF/video `file_data` attachments on the OpenAI→Gemini/Antigravity and OpenAI→Claude paths so multimodal documents (not just images) reach the upstream — PDFs map to `document`/`inlineData` and videos keep their `video/mp4` mime instead of being dropped (#6790 — thanks @Witroch4, with an independent report/fix from @samimozcan via #6762/#6753).
+- **fix(providers): ensure DeepSeek Web SSE emits [DONE] after FINISHED** (#6791 — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch).
+- **fix(api):** the compression config `PUT` schema (`stackedPipelineStepSchema`) now accepts every `ENGINE_CATALOG` id — the structural engines `session-dedup`/`ccr`/`headroom`/`relevance`/`llmlingua`/`omniglyph` and the `aggressive` `ultra` intensity — so a `GET`→`PUT` round-trip of a stacked pipeline no longer 400s on a valid engine the discriminated union had omitted (#6747 — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch).
+- **fix(cursor):** send the Agent CLI build id as `x-cursor-client-version` so Cursor upstream accepts requests from the current CLI build instead of a stale hardcoded version (#6795 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- fix(cli): waitForServer() no longer reports ready from a raw TCP accept alone — requires a fast HTTP rejection or a real health response, so the "OmniRoute is running!" banner no longer fires 30-60s before the server can actually answer requests (#6800)
+- fix(sse): de-flake timing-sensitive combo cooldown/breaker tests + add explicit MCP audit shutdown timeout (#6803)
+- **fix(codex): strip include from compact responses requests** (#6805 — thanks @yinaoxiong).
+- fix(dashboard): surface Claude extraUsage credits in quota card when quotas is empty (#6806)
+- **Request count by provider & date**: Dashboard → Analytics now shows a dedicated table of request counts grouped by provider and calendar date (plus token totals), for providers that bill per-request rather than per-token — sortable columns and a single-date filter. New `getProviderDailyUsageRows()` query (`src/lib/db/usageAnalytics.ts`) and its own `GET /api/usage/requests-by-provider-date` route (kept separate from the frozen `/api/usage/analytics` route). Regression guard: `tests/unit/db-provider-daily-usage-4009.test.ts`. (#4009 — thanks @tjengbudi)
+- **fix(resilience):** an Ollama Cloud (or any apikey-category provider) account that hit a weekly usage cap kept getting retried every few minutes instead of backing off ([#3709](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3709)) — the upstream 429 body ("you (\<account\>) have reached your weekly usage limit") was invisible to `checkFallbackError`'s existing subscription-quota-text classifier (Issue #2321) because that branch is gated by `shouldUseQuotaSignal`, which is oauth-only, so apikey providers like `ollama-cloud` fell through to the generic exponential backoff (~1s, capped at 2min) — one account took 285x429 in 48h. A new `isWeeklyUsageLimitText`/`buildWeeklyQuotaFallback` classifier (extracted, with the existing subscription-quota logic, into a new `open-sse/services/quotaTextCooldowns.ts` module so the frozen `accountFallback.ts` didn't have to grow) runs unconditionally and applies a 24h `QUOTA_EXHAUSTED` cooldown regardless of provider category. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ollama-cloud-weekly-quota-cooldown-3709.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** an explicit `thinking.budget_tokens: 0` is now honored in the OpenAI→Gemini transform (thinking disabled) instead of being treated as unset (#6813, #6821 — thanks @alltomatos).
+- **fix(bootstrap):** filter empty `process.env` values before spawning embedded services so a blank env var no longer crashes the Docker bootstrap in a restart loop (#6828 — thanks @AndrianBalanescu).
+- **fix(providers):** classify upstream `404` responses as `MODEL_NOT_FOUND` (model lockout) instead of a retryable provider error, stopping the retry storm when a single model is missing (#6829 — thanks @AndrianBalanescu).
+- fix(mcp): de-duplicate `TOTAL_MCP_TOOL_COUNT` by tool name instead of double-counting collections (#6854)
+- **fix(usage):** xAI's exact provider-reported `cost_in_usd_ticks` no longer silently accepts `null`/`""`/negative values as a valid `$0` exact cost — `extractUsageFromResponse()` (`open-sse/handlers/usageExtractor.ts`) and `normalizeUsage()` (`open-sse/utils/usageTracking.ts`) now require `typeof value === "number" && Number.isFinite(value) && value >= 0` instead of coercing with `Number(x)`, so a malformed exact cost correctly falls back to the token-based estimate instead of masking it with a bogus `$0`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/xai-exact-cost-2453.test.ts` (rejects null/empty/negative exact costs on both call sites). ([#6856](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6856) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(plugin):** the `@omniroute/opencode-plugin` dynamic provider hook stopped embedding its OC-1.17.8+-gate-compatible `opencode-`-prefixed provider id into model routing fields (`ModelV2.id`/`providerID`, combo catalog keys) — OmniRoute's server has no `opencode-<x>` provider alias, so every dispatched model failed credential lookup with "No credentials for opencode-omniroute" (#6859).
+- fix(sse): apply cliproxyapiModelMapping at CLIProxyAPI dispatch time (#6876)
+- fix(sse): defer `response.completed` until a trailing usage-only chunk arrives on `/v1/responses` streams (#6906)
+- **fix(cli):** ship `head-response-guard.cjs` into the standalone bundle — `server-ws.mjs` imported it without a matching `EXTRA_MODULE_ENTRIES` entry, so every `build:release` dist crashed at boot with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND`; a new regression test derives the required sidecars from `server-ws.mjs` imports (#6908)
+- fix(sse): wire the shared quota-fetch throttle into DeepSeek, Bailian, OpenCode, and Crof quota fetchers, not just Codex (#6911)
+- fix(sse): rename client-sent `max_completion_tokens` to `max_tokens` for providers/models that only accept the legacy field (e.g. Volcengine Ark / DeepSeek), mirroring the existing reverse rename from #1961 (#6912)
+- fix(sse): set includeServerSideToolInvocations on Antigravity tool cloak decoys (#6914)
+- fix(sse): classify LAN embeddings providers (10/8, 192.168/16, CGNAT) as no-auth instead of forcing bearer auth (#6925)
+- fix(sse): Qwen Web executor no longer sends `[object Object]` when a message uses structured (array) content — the text parts are now flattened (#6927)
+- perf(api): relay chat-completions routes now thread the already-fetched `RelayToken` into `checkRateLimit`, skipping a redundant `SELECT * FROM relay_tokens WHERE id = ?` re-query on every request (#6930)
+- fix(sse): `normalizeCodexMessageContentPart` now rewrites explicit `type: "input_text"` (not just `type: "text"`) to `output_text` on assistant-role Codex Responses input parts, so replayed assistant history sent by codex-cli as `input_text` is no longer rejected by the Codex/OpenAI backend (#6932)
+- fix(sse): omit removed `attachments` field from Muse Spark Web (Meta AI) persisted GraphQL query to fix `Unknown type "AttachmentInput"` 502s (#6935)
+- fix(dashboard): label audio/embeddings/image compatible providers by kind instead of "Chat" on ProviderCard (#6936)
+- fix(api): model-list discovery for LAN-local OpenAI-compatible providers (e.g. LM Studio) now uses the same local-first SSRF guard as the connection test, instead of the stricter guard that always blocked LAN hosts (#6939)
+- fix(providers): `openai->gemini` transform now maps `reasoning_effort: "none"` to `thinkingConfig.thinkingBudget: 0` (with `includeThoughts: false`), giving callers an explicit, documented off-switch for Gemini thinking; the no-knob-at-all default injection (#4170) is unchanged (#6813, thanks @rafaumeu)
+- **fix(sse):** escape backslash before brackets in ChatGPT-web citation link text, preventing a citation label containing `\` from corrupting the generated Markdown link ([#6944](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6944)) — thanks @brick30llc-ctrl
+- fix(oauth): tokenHealthCheck now lowercase-normalizes `conn.provider` before checking `ROTATING_REFRESH_PROVIDERS.has()` and the GitHub Copilot sub-token refresh guard, so mixed-case provider values (e.g. "OpenAI", "Github") no longer bypass the rotating-refresh-token skip or the Copilot sub-token refresh (#6947)
+- fix(sse): make Codex Responses tool-arg normalization schema-aware — drop values equal to the tool's declared JSON Schema `default`, generalize empty-optional stripping to any tool (not just `Read`/`Subagent`) via `schema.required`, and thread each tool's schema from the request's `tools[]` into the streaming response translator (#6951)
+- fix(sse): drop internal commentary-phase Responses output in TRANSLATE-mode streams, not just PASSTHROUGH — codex/Responses-upstream routes translated into another client format (e.g. Claude Code) no longer leak duplicate prose and narrated tool-call arguments into the client text channel (#6952)
+- **fix(combos):** embeddings-only and rerank-only models (e.g. JinaAI, Gemini auto-imported, OpenRouter custom, reranker models) no longer disappear from the combo builder's model picker — the leftover chat-only `isChatCapable` gate in `addModelOption()` has been removed (#6975).
+- **fix(combos):** when 2+ distinct model ids from the same provider would render an identical display name in the combo builder picker (e.g. Mistral's `codestral-latest`/`codestral-2508` aliases sharing one upstream catalog name), each colliding entry now falls back to its own id as the display label so every row stays visually distinguishable and findable (#6957).

+- **chore(release-captain):** v3.8.47 pre-flight closed every deterministic release-tip base-red ([#6967](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6967)): restored the `no-explicit-any` severity silently downgraded by #6786 (439 bulk suppressions had stopped matching), made the openadapter live-catalog test deterministic (`test.after()` was tearing the DB down mid-request), aligned the emergency-fallback and Cloud Code Gemini tests with the #6912/#6943 contracts, backfilled the #6909 i18n keys (en + pt-BR), re-exported `relayProbeStats` (db-rules), documented `OMNI_MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS`, and allowlisted migration gap 121. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **chore(security):** unbiased crypto digits for the doubao synthetic device id (CodeQL `js/biased-cryptographic-random`); 405 method-first for `/api/keys/{id}/devices` (dast-smoke); Zod-validation for `POST /api/github-skills`; the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry + catalog count alignment. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **chore(quality):** cycle-close ratchet work — cleared the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors and made `validate-release-green` suppressions-aware; cleared the 2 remaining heavy-gate reds on the release tip; cycle rebaselines (cognitive/file-size/zizmor/coverage pcts) with justification keys. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **chore(open-sse):** removed the vestigial `// @ts-nocheck` directive from `open-sse/utils/usageTracking.ts` ([#6173](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6173)) — `tsc` under the standard `typecheck:core` gate reports 0 errors for this 595-line hot-path file (executed for every provider response), so the suppression was no longer needed; removing it restores type-checking on the token-usage extraction/normalization path. (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **chore(cli):** the shell-completion cache paths (`readCache`/`refreshCache`/`writeCache`) in `bin/cli/commands/completion.mjs` no longer swallow errors into a bare `catch {}` ([#6257](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6257)) — each now binds the error and, when the new `OMNIROUTE_DEBUG_COMPLETION` env var is set, emits a `[omniroute completion]` diagnostic to `stderr`; the caches still fail silently by default so a missing/corrupt cache never breaks tab-completion. (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **chore(quality):** `validate-release-green --full-ci` reproduces the full `ci.yml` static gate set locally — the pre-flight now reads `ci.yml` itself and runs every `npm run check:*` from the `lint` / `quality-gate` / `quality-extended` / `docs-sync-strict` / `pr-test-policy` jobs (`--` ratchet flags preserved, `test-masking` against `GITHUB_BASE_REF=main`), skipping only the non-local `pr-evidence`/`codeql-ratchet`. Closes the gap where 11 static base-reds leaked to the v3.8.46 release PR in ~2h of layered CI. Also wired into `nightly-release-green` so a static base-red opens a tracking issue the night it lands. Regression guard: `tests/unit/validate-release-green.test.ts` (+5 `extractCiGates` cases).
+- **refactor(usage):** `saveRequestUsage(entry: any)` is now typed with a new `UsageEntry` interface mirroring the `usage_history` columns 1:1 (#3512) — the other stray `any`s in `src/lib/usage/usageHistory.ts` (`getUsageHistory` filter, the `getUsageDb` next-cursor cast, `appendRequestLog`'s legacy `tokens` param, `getRecentLogs`'s catch) were cleaned in the same pass, so the file now sits in the `check:any-budget:t11` zero-`any` allowlist. The DB-entity ↔ TS-interface convention is documented in `docs/architecture/CODEBASE_DOCUMENTATION.md` §11.
+- **Merge-train script** (`scripts/release/merge-train.sh`): batch-validates N queued PRs as ONE merged result on the runner box — merges every queued PR into a throwaway worktree cut from the release tip, runs the fast-gates parity suite once, and prints the `--admin` evidence block per PR (merge-gates §7). Replaces O(N²) per-PR CI re-runs in merge-storms. Regression guard: `tests/unit/merge-train-plan.test.ts`.
+- **release:** `list-uncovered-commits.mjs` now unions the CHANGELOG scan window with `changelog.d/` fragment refs (filename `<PR>-` prefix + every `#N` in the body), so a commit covered only by a fragment is no longer reported as an uncovered reconciliation gap ([#6857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6857) via [#6878](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6878))
+- chore(quality): restore no-explicit-any severity to error (silently downgraded by #6786, broke 439 bulk suppressions), fix 2 unsuppressed anys in repro-6912 test, allowlist migration gap 121, freeze-bump stream.ts/ProxyRegistryManager/tokenHealthCheck (combined-merge drift)
+- chore(base): pt-BR/en i18n keys for #6909 relay-repair/free-pool UI + align Cloud Code Gemini defaults test with the #6943 non-thinking-model contract
+- chore(base): re-export relayProbeStats from localDb (db-rules gate, #6909 follow-up) and document OMNI_MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS in .env.example/ENVIRONMENT.md (env-doc gate, #6590 follow-up)
+- **ci:** unit fast-path sharding doubled 2→4 (halves the heaviest job's wall time) (#6781); the 3 heaviest fast-path jobs can route to the self-hosted VPS runner pool behind `USE_VPS_RUNNER` (#6691); `VPS_ALWAYS_ON` keeps the dedicated 24/7 CI host up across releases (teardown becomes a no-op) (#6693).
+- **docs:** routing-strategy count reconciled to 18 across AUTO-COMBO.md, README and AGENTS.md, and `p2c` casing fixed to match `ROUTING_STRATEGY_VALUES` (#6643, #6644, #6646 — thanks @chirag127); CLAUDE.md updated with the renamed review/triage/implement skill-family names (#6663).
+- chore(release): v3.8.47 pre-flight — relocate #6943 orphan test to a collected path, restore no-explicit-any suppression match, testFrozen bump translator-openai-to-gemini (1541→1553), zizmor rebaseline 159→169
+- **docs(readme):** fix stale counts — 18 routing strategies (adds the missing `pipeline` row), 94 MCP tools, 12-factor Auto-Combo scoring.
+- **chore(ci):** fix two shared base-reds on the release tip that blocked the PR queue — register `cliproxyapi-model-mapping-dispatch.test.ts` in `stryker.conf.json` `tap.testFiles` (mutation-coverage gap left by #6903) and update `provider-models-route-codex.test.ts` to expect Codex client version `0.144.0` (stale assertion left by #6780's production bump).
+- **docs:** refresh `llm.txt` to the current project state (248 providers, 94 MCP tools / 30 scopes, 18 routing strategies, 12-factor Auto-Combo scoring, v3.8.47) and sync its 42 i18n mirrors; move the implemented design-system plan from the repo root to `docs/architecture/DESIGN_SYSTEM.md` rewritten as a reference doc.
+- **chore(security):** scrub hardcoded live-instance credentials (API key + auth cookie + host URL) from the `tests/boundary/*.live.test.ts` files landed via #6786 — they now read `OMNIROUTE_TEST_BASE` / `OMNIROUTE_TEST_BEARER` / `OMNIROUTE_TEST_COOKIE` from the environment and stay gated behind `RUN_BOUNDARY_LIVE=1`.

+## [3.8.46] — 2026-07-07
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(sse):** **hide paid-only models from `auto/*` routing** when `hidePaidModels` is on ([#6512](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6512)) — follow-up to #6328/#6495. PR #6495 hid paid-only models from the `GET /v1/models` listing, but `auto/*` combos (`auto/best-coding`, `auto/glm`, …) could still pick a paid-only backend into their candidate pool → a 402/403 at request time. `createVirtualAutoCombo` now filters the candidate pool through the new pure `open-sse/services/autoCombo/paidModelFilter.ts` (`filterPaidOnlyCandidates`), applying the same free-model predicate #6495 uses in `catalog.ts` (`providerHasFreeModels(provider) && isFreeModel(provider, {id})`) whenever `settings.hidePaidModels === true`. Applied before the category/tier/family narrowing, so it covers every `auto/*` combo; an all-paid pool degrades to the existing graceful empty-pool path. **Opt-in — default OFF leaves the pool unchanged** (identity). Regression guard: `tests/unit/autoCombo/paid-model-filter-6512.test.ts` (4, incl. the default-off identity guard).
+- **feat(sse):** **provider-family auto combos** — `auto/glm`, `auto/minimax`, `auto/mimo`, `auto/zai`, `auto/gemma`, `auto/llama`, `auto/gemini` ([#6453](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6453)) — new routable ids that materialize an on-demand virtual combo spanning whatever installed backends currently expose that model family, degrading gracefully as backends rotate. A new pure `open-sse/services/autoCombo/modelFamily.ts` (`detectModelFamily`) classifies by model-id prefix for six families; `zai` is instead resolved by provider id (z.ai's hosted API serves the same `glm-*` model ids as every other GLM backend, so `auto/zai` means "route to my z.ai backend specifically" vs `auto/glm`'s "any connected GLM backend"). Reuses the existing `createVirtualAutoCombo` on-demand materialization path (no DB writes) and the `/v1/models` catalog advertising loop. Regression guard: `tests/unit/autoCombo/provider-family-combos.test.ts` (11).
+- **feat(proxy):** native **proxy-pool round-robin / egress IP rotation** ([#6365](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6365)) — a scope (global / provider / account) can now hold **multiple** proxies as a pool with a rotation strategy, so outbound requests cycle their egress IP instead of pinning one proxy per scope. Migration `117_proxy_pool_rotation.sql` lifts the `UNIQUE(scope, scope_id)` constraint (rebuild via the canonical rename/copy/drop; existing single assignments become 1-element pools) and adds a `proxy_scope_rotation` companion table holding the per-scope strategy + a persisted monotonic round-robin cursor. Strategies: `round-robin` (default, monotonic cursor — never `Math.random`), `random`, and `sticky-per-N-min`. Resolution (`resolveProxyForScopeFromRegistry` / `resolveProxyForConnectionFromRegistry`) now fetches the alive, position-ordered candidate set (unchanged `PROXY_ALIVE_PREDICATE`) and applies the strategy; an empty / all-dead pool still returns `null` — the #6246 fail-closed guard is **untouched** (never falls through to direct egress). Backend + DB only; dashboard pool-builder UI is a follow-up. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-pool-rotation-6365.test.ts` (8, incl. fail-closed + backward-compat).
+- **feat(providers):** end-to-end **tool/function calling on the native Gemini `/v1beta` endpoint** ([#6222](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6222)) — both directions of the Gemini↔OpenAI conversion now preserve tool data (previously silently dropped). Request side: `convertGeminiToInternal` (extracted to its own testable module) maps `tools[].functionDeclarations` → OpenAI `tools`, prior `functionCall` parts → assistant `tool_calls`, and `functionResponse` parts → `tool`-role messages. Response side: `convertOpenAIResponseToGemini` emits `parts[].functionCall {name,args}` from `message.tool_calls`, and the streaming `openAIChunkToGeminiChunk` accumulates fragmented `tool_calls` deltas by index into complete `functionCall` parts. The non-Gemini client paths (Claude, OpenAI-Responses) already preserved tool calls — this closes the gap specific to the native Gemini surface. Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1beta-gemini-tool-calling-6222.test.ts` (6, incl. a streaming SSE round-trip).
+- **feat(providers):** copilot-m365-web **enterprise / work tier** support ([#6334](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6334)) — mirrors the EDU-tier pattern (#6210): `M365ConnectionParams` gains an `agent` field, a new opt-in `M365_ENTERPRISE_OVERRIDES` preset (`agent=work`, `scenario=officeweb`, `licenseType=Premium`) applies via `providerSpecificData.tier="enterprise"` (alias `"work"`), and `agent` is also overridable directly via `providerSpecificData.agent`. `buildWsUrl` was hardcoding `agent="web"` (the one enterprise-distinguishing param with no override path), so a Premium work account handshook then returned an empty stream. The individual and EDU paths are untouched. Kilo's dup flag vs #6210 (EDU tier) was a false positive — different tier. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-enterprise-6334.test.ts` (7). End-to-end confirmation on a real Premium work account is a live-VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18). (thanks @Forcerecon)
+- **feat(api):** standardized, provider-agnostic **`effort` + `thinking` request params** ([#6241](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6241)) — a thin standardization layer over the existing mature per-provider reasoning plumbing (no provider mapper touched). `providerChatCompletionSchema` gains a canonical `effort` (reusing the shared `none/low/medium/high/xhigh` vocabulary — the UI tiers `extra`/`max` collapse onto `xhigh`) and a boolean `thinking`. A pure `normalizeReasoningRequest` (wired once in `src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, before any reasoning field is read) folds them onto the fields the translators already consume (`reasoning_effort` / `reasoning.effort` / `thinking`), so they fan out to Anthropic / Gemini / xAI / Responses — an explicit client `reasoning_effort` / object-shaped `thinking` always wins (backward-compatible). `/models` additively exposes `supportsThinking` + `effort_tiers` so the frontend can render the toggles (UI component is a follow-up). Regression guard: `tests/unit/effort-thinking-standardization-6241.test.ts` (12). (thanks @Iammilansoni, @shabeer)
+- **feat(combo):** new **`pipeline` (sequential) combo strategy** ([#6297](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6297)) — the 18th routing strategy runs targets **in order**, threading each step's output into the next step's input, with an optional per-step `prompt` (system instruction); only the final step's response is returned. Distinct from `fusion` (parallel fan-out + judge). Implemented as a self-contained `open-sse/services/pipeline.ts` (sibling to `fusion.ts`), dispatched from `combo.ts`; the step list reuses `combo.models` order and reads an optional `prompt` off each target (backward-compatible — ignored by every other strategy). Intermediate steps run non-streaming with tools stripped (complete prose to thread forward); the final step keeps the client's `stream` flag + tools. A failing/empty/unparseable intermediate step fails the whole pipeline explicitly via a sanitized error (never silently swallowed). Kilo's dup flag vs #563 was a false positive (that's model→chain selection; this is a sequential chain). Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-pipeline-strategy.test.ts` (5). (thanks @ofekbetzalel)
+- **feat(ci):** `check:test-masking` now flags **inline-reimplemented prod conditions** ([#6348](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6348)) — a new **report-only** subcheck (v2, 6A.10 family) catches the wrong-shape contract test: a test that recomputes the condition under test inline instead of importing/exercising the real function (the #6216 class, where `=== 500` → `>= 500` stayed green because the test re-implemented the branch). For each added/modified test file it warns when the file textually duplicates a ≥3-token conditional from a production file touched in the same PR **and** does not import the symbol/module owning it, via a pure, fixture-tested `findReimplementedConditions()` with an allowlist mirroring `assertReductionAllowlist`. Report-only for now (does not fail the gate) — to be promoted to blocking after a triage cycle. Regression guard: `tests/unit/check-test-masking.test.ts` (45).
+- **feat(sse):** per-connection routing override (native vs CLIProxyAPI) ([#6339](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6339)) — the previously-dead `isCliproxyapiDeepModeEnabled` helper is now wired into `resolveExecutorWithProxy`: a single connection can opt itself into the CLIProxyAPI passthrough executor via `providerSpecificData.cliproxyapiMode="claude-native"`, with precedence **connection override > provider `upstream_proxy_config` mode > default**. `resolveExecutorWithProxy` now receives the resolved connection's `providerSpecificData` (threaded from `chatCore.ts`), so one connection can deep-route while the provider's other connections stay native — no DB schema change (the toggle rides in `providerSpecificData`). Also resolves the same-provider mixing ask in #6340. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chatcore-executor-proxy.test.ts` (9). (thanks @RaviTharuma)
+- **feat(dashboard):** "Add session cookie" modal now shows a prominent **"Open ‹host› →"** link to the provider's own site ([#6268](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6268)) — every `-web` cookie-session provider (chatgpt-web, claude-web, gemini-web, kimi-web, lmarena, qwen-web, m365-copilot-web, …) renders a one-click external link (opening the provider's login/home page in a new tab) so operators no longer tab away to retype the URL mid-setup. The host resolves from a pure, unit-tested `resolveWebProviderHost()` (prefers `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS[id].website`, falls back to the registry `baseUrl` origin); non-web providers render exactly as before. Kilo's dup flag vs #6265 (modal-too-small-on-1080p) was a false positive — distinct concern. Regression guard: `tests/unit/resolve-web-provider-host.test.ts` (5). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add **DigitalOcean** AI (serverless inference) as an OpenAI-compatible API-key provider ([#6373](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6373)) — base `https://inference.do-ai.run/v1`, wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/digitalocean/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/inference-hosts.ts`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/digitalocean-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @newnol)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Huancheng Public API** (`hcnsec`) as an OpenAI-compatible regional provider ([#6410](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6410)) — Xinjiang Huancheng Cybersecurity's public LLM platform (base `https://api.hcnsec.cn/v1`, free credits via daily check-ins), wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/hcnsec/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/regional.ts`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/hcnsec-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @UnrealAryan)
+- **feat(dashboard):** the web-session credential guide now shows an **"Open {host}" link** ([#6316](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6316)) to the provider's sign-in site (derived from the provider `website` via `getProviderWebsiteHost`), so you can jump straight to the page where the cookie/session must be captured. Regression guard: `tests/unit/web-session-provider-link-6316.test.ts`. (thanks @jordansilly77-stack)
+- **feat(cerebras):** add the **Gemma 4 31B** model (`gemma-4-31b`) to the Cerebras registry + pricing table ([#6331](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6331)). Regression guard extends `tests/unit/t28-model-catalog-updates.test.ts`. (thanks @backryun)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Yuanbao (web)** as a cookie-session provider ([#6196](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6196)) — `yuanbao-web` (Tencent Yuanbao, `yuanbao.tencent.com`) with cookie-only auth (`hy_user`/`hy_token` + public agent id), SSE→OpenAI translation incl. `reasoning_content`, exposing DeepSeek V3/R1 + Hunyuan / Hunyuan-T1. Regression guard: `tests/unit/providers-yuanbao-web.test.ts`. `together-web` was **deferred** (no verifiable web-session endpoint — needs a captured request) and `huggingchat-web` **dropped** (the existing `huggingchat` already is a web-cookie provider). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** route the built-in **agentrouter** through the dynamic Claude-Code wire image ([#6056](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6056)) — a small static allow-set (`CC_WIRE_IMAGE_BUILTINS` in `open-sse/services/ccWireImageBuiltins.ts`), consulted by `isClaudeCodeCompatible` / `isClaudeCodeCompatibleProvider` / `applyFingerprint`, makes agentrouter adopt the CC wire-image headers + fingerprint **while guarding the CC baseUrl/auth branches** so it keeps its own registry `baseUrl` and `x-api-key` auth. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentrouter-cc-wire-image.test.ts` (asserts the wire image is applied AND agentrouter's baseUrl/auth are preserved). Live WAF-acceptance against agentrouter.org is a VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18).
+- **feat(providers):** **bulk-add API keys for Cloudflare Workers AI** ([#6174](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6174)) — `cloudflare-ai` is removed from the bulk-add exclusion list and the bulk parser gains a 3-field `name|accountId|apiKey` mode; the bulk route now builds a **per-entry** `providerSpecificData` so each key carries its own `accountId` (fixing the previous shared-object reuse), and both the create + key-validation paths receive it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/bulk-api-key-parser-cloudflare.test.ts`. (thanks @muflifadla38)
+- **feat(dashboard):** routing/settings UX clarity ([#6147](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6147)) — (1) weighted combos show the **effective routing share %** next to each weight when weights don't sum to 100 (`WeightTotalBar.tsx`); (2) the status widget's user-facing **"Cloud Sync" label is renamed** to "Remote Settings Sync" (`CloudSyncStatus.tsx`; internal ids/state untouched); (3) built-in providers gain an **opt-in advanced base-URL override** (`isBaseUrlOverrideEligibleProvider`, hidden behind an "Advanced" toggle, reusing the existing `providerSpecificData.baseUrl` persistence — not globally widened). Regression guard: `tests/unit/routing-settings-ux-6147.test.ts`.
+- **feat(combo):** add an option to **disable session stickiness**, per-combo or globally — round-robin / random combos can rotate to a different connection on every request instead of pinning a whole conversation to one connection by its first-message hash. Resolution precedence per-combo `config.disableSessionStickiness` → global `settings.disableSessionStickiness` → default `false` (preserves the #3825 prompt-cache/504 fix); gates **both** stickiness call sites in `open-sse/services/combo.ts`. Exposed as a global toggle (Combo Defaults) and a per-combo Inherit/on/off control. ([#6168](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6168)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-disable-session-stickiness.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+- **feat(docker):** add the `OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO` env flag for root-less / user-namespaced deployments — the MITM cert-trust command path (`resolveSudoSpawn` in `src/mitm/systemCommands.ts`) now strips the leading `sudo` when the flag is truthy, in addition to the existing root / sudo-missing cases, so the Proxy Agent runs without `sudo` (the operator trusts the CA manually, e.g. via `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`). Argv-array `spawn` preserved — no shell interpolation (Hard Rule #13). ([#6122](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6122)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-systemCommands-no-sudo.test.ts`. (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Requesty** as an OpenAI-compatible gateway provider (BYOK, base `https://router.requesty.ai/v1`, ~200 free requests/day) — wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/requesty/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/gateways.ts`). ([#6120](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6120)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/requesty-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add **configured-only / available-only filters** to the Free Provider Rankings page ([#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150)) — hide providers you haven't configured, or whose connections are all rate-limited / out of quota, via server-side query params (`?configuredOnly` / `?availableOnly` on `GET /api/free-provider-rankings`) backed by a testable lib helper reusing the in-process connection state (no Redis). Both filters default off, so the default view is unchanged; this supersedes the earlier client-side "Configured Only" toggle (#6245) with an available-only dimension and unit-tested logic. Regression guard: `tests/unit/freeProviderRankings-filters.test.ts`.

+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(dashboard):** adding a second API key connection for the same provider no longer silently overwrites the first — the Add-API-key modal now derives a unique default connection name (`main`, then `main-2`, `main-3`, …) so the backend name-based upsert can't collide (#6499 — thanks @dilneiss).
+- **fix(compression):** the session-dedup engine now also deduplicates a large multi-line block repeated **within a single message** (intra-message dedup), not just across turns; the compression-preview API surfaces a `fallbackReason`, and the fusion panel reports how many models were rate-limited vs failed on total-panel failure (#6501 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **fix(compression):** a stacked-pipeline step naming an unregistered engine now surfaces a `validationErrors` entry instead of silently no-op'ing, so misconfigured pipelines are visible in the preview API (#6506 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **feat(usage):** add a **Codex reset-credit redemption** flow to the Provider Limits UI ([#6361](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6361)) — a `useCodexResetCreditRedemption` hook + `/api/usage/codex-reset-credit` route + `codexResetCredits` lib let you redeem banked Codex reset credits from the quota card. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-reset-credits.test.ts`. (thanks @JxnLexn)
+- **feat(glm):** add **team-plan quota settings** for `glm-cn` connections ([#6351](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6351)) — a dedicated `GlmTeamQuotaFields` form section (team quota id / limits) threaded through the Add/Edit connection modals, persisted via `providerSpecificData`, with the GLM usage service reading the team quota. Regression guards: `tests/unit/glm-team-quota.test.ts`, `provider-specific-data-schema.test.ts`. (thanks @hao3039032)
+- **feat(providers):** add **TinyFish** web-fetch/search support ([#6349](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6349)) — a `tinyfish-fetch` executor + `/v1/web/fetch` route + MCP web-fetch tool, registered as a specialty-media provider with request-validation and a search-provider catalog entry. Regression guards: `tests/unit/executor-tinyfish-fetch.test.ts`, `web-fetch-handler.test.ts`, `mcp-web-fetch-tool.test.ts`, `provider-validation-tinyfish.test.ts`. (thanks @dtybnrj)
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute launch-codex` now spawns `codex.cmd` through a shell on Windows (the npm `.cmd` shim is unresolvable by bare `spawn` → ENOENT), mirroring the qodercli Windows fix (#6263) ([#6312](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6312)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/launch-codex-windows-spawn-6312.test.ts`. (thanks @swingtempo)
+- **fix(codex):** isolate the **Spark** quota from the shared Codex quota and stabilize the quota UI ordering / hydration so per-scope limits render consistently ([#6336](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6336)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/codex-quota-selection-hydration.test.ts`, `provider-limits-ui.test.ts` + 3 more. (thanks @xz-dev)
+- **feat(api):** add a `hidePaidModels` setting that filters paid-only models out of the `/v1/models` catalog. Regression guard: `tests/unit/models-catalog-hide-paid.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api-manager):** the fallback model picker now preserves combos instead of dropping them when a primary model is unavailable ([#6443](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6443)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api-manager-page-static.test.ts`. (thanks @jmengit)
+- **fix(providers):** recoverable Antigravity / Cloud-Code (Gemini Code Assist) `403` responses ([#6452](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6452)) are now classified as a retryable project-config error instead of a terminal account ban, so a fixable project/API-disabled 403 no longer forces a ~1-year cooldown / full OAuth reconnect. Regression guard: `tests/unit/errorclassifier-antigravity-403.test.ts`. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(mitm):** `sanitizeHeaders` now redacts `Set-Cookie` response headers so upstream session cookies never leak into logs / diagnostics ([#6451](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6451)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-sanitize-headers.test.ts`. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(api):** `/api/compression/preview` now accepts `mode: "caveman"` and correctly handles stacked / zero-compression previews ([#6425](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6425)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api/compression-preview-caveman-and-stacked-6425.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Zed** hosted LLM aggregator as a native-app provider ([#6118](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6118)) — OAuth sign-in via the Zed hosted flow, registered through the shared provider registry + executor. Regression guards: `tests/unit/zed-oauth-provider.test.ts`, `zed-import-utils.test.ts`, `zed-docker-detect.test.ts`, `mitm-handler-zed.test.ts`. VPS-validated via live operator login (Hard Rule #18).
+- **fix(oauth):** the Kiro SSO-cache auto-import now **preserves the IDC region** — cross-region Amazon Q / Kiro profiles imported from the SSO cache are no longer collapsed to the default region ([#6113](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6113)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kiro-auto-import-idc-2059.test.ts`. VPS-validated via live operator login (Hard Rule #18).
+- **fix(dashboard):** passthrough model aliases no longer collide when two namespaced model ids share a last segment (port from 9router#1850, [#6431](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6431)). `enx/gpt-5.5` and `enx/codebuddy/gpt-5.5` both auto-generated the alias `gpt-5.5`, so the second model could never be added (the UI just alerted "alias already exists"). Aliases are now disambiguated deterministically — bare last segment when free, then parent-qualified (`codebuddy-gpt-5.5`), then a numeric suffix — while re-adding the exact same model id is still blocked. Regression guard: `tests/unit/passthrough-alias-1850.test.ts`. (thanks @arpicato)
+- **fix(translator):** preserve a Gemini `functionResponse` co-located with other parts (another `functionCall`, or trailing `text`) in the same content when translating **Gemini → OpenAI** ([#6376](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6376)). `convertGeminiContent()` early-returned the tool message on the first `functionResponse` part, dropping any co-located parts; such contents are now pre-split (one tool message per `functionResponse`, emitted first, plus one message for the remaining parts). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-to-openai-function-response.test.ts`. (thanks @warelik)
+- **fix(headroom):** detect a python interpreter managed by **mise / pyenv / asdf / conda** (port from 9router#2353, [#6382](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6382)). Headroom's python probe (`src/lib/headroom/detect.ts`) searched a hardcoded `PATH`, but version managers expose their interpreters via shim dirs that only join `PATH` through interactive-shell activation — which the non-interactive server never runs, so a managed python (≥3.10) was invisible and Headroom reported it missing. The search path now prepends the well-known shim/bin dirs (`~/.local/share/mise/shims`, `~/.pyenv/shims`, `~/.asdf/shims`, `$CONDA_PREFIX/bin`, `~/.local/bin`, respecting `MISE_DATA_DIR`/`PYENV_ROOT`/`ASDF_DATA_DIR` when set), and a new `HEADROOM_PYTHON` env override lets operators point straight at their interpreter (mirroring `HEADROOM_URL`). Still shell-free (`execFileSync`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/headroom-detect.test.ts` (5). (thanks @loopyd)
+- **fix(executors):** strip the OpenAI-Codex/Claude-CLI `client_metadata` passthrough field for **NVIDIA** requests (port from 9router#1887, [#6411](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6411)). NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible wrapper rejects it with `400 Unsupported parameter`, the same class already handled for `cerebras`/`mistral`; `nvidia` (executor `default`) was missing from the strip allowlist so Codex/Claude-Code passthrough requests 400'd. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executor-default-strip-client-metadata.test.ts` (+nvidia case). (thanks @phidinhmanh)
+- **fix(translator):** strip the Claude-style `thinking` field for **NVIDIA `z-ai/glm-5.2`** (port from 9router#2023, [#6413](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6413)). NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible wrapper 400s on `thinking` (a Claude-format client routed here leaves a `thinking:{type:"adaptive"}`); the existing strip rule only dropped `reasoning`. Same class already handled for `minimax-m2.7`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-minimax-thinking-strip.test.ts` (+glm-5.2 case). (thanks @phidinhmanh)
+- **fix(translator):** suppress the streamed `</think>` close marker for the **Antigravity IDE** client (port from 9router#1061, [#6415](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6415)). On thinking-only turns Antigravity rendered a bare `</think>` as the sole visible content, tripping its loop-detection and wasting requests. Antigravity's UA (`vscode/<v> (Antigravity/<v>)`) is added to the marker-suppress allowlist (alongside OpenCode); Claude Code / Cursor still get the marker, and `x-omniroute-thinking-marker: on` force-restores it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/think-close-marker-suppress-5245.test.ts`. (thanks @abdofallah)
+- **fix(executors):** strip nested `reasoning_content` from messages for **Mistral** (port from 9router#1649, [#6417](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6417)). Mistral's API returns `422 extra_forbidden` when an assistant message carries `reasoning_content` (replayed thinking from a prior turn, e.g. via the Codex `/responses` path); the generic top-level 400 field-downgrade retry never covered the nested per-message field. `DefaultExecutor` now strips it for provider `mistral` only, so DeepSeek (which requires replayed `reasoning_content`) is unaffected. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mistral-strip-reasoning-content-1649.test.ts`. (thanks @xxy9468615)
+- **fix(executors):** strip the `client_metadata` passthrough field on the **OpenCode** path (port from 9router#1442, [#6418](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6418)). OpenCode upstreams (e.g. `kimi-k2.6` via opencode-go) reject it with `400 "Extra inputs are not permitted, field: 'client_metadata'"`; the DefaultExecutor strip only covered cerebras/mistral and `OpencodeExecutor` extends `BaseExecutor` directly, so nothing removed it there. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-strip-client-metadata-1442.test.ts`. (thanks @yanpaing007)
+- **fix(executors):** inject the `reasoning_content` echo for the native **Moonshot Kimi** provider (port from 9router#1480, [#6419](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6419)). Kimi (executor `default`) is a thinking-mode upstream that 400s with "reasoning_content must be passed back" when a prior assistant turn lacks it; the placeholder injection was only wired into the OpenCode meta-provider, so direct multi-turn Kimi conversations failed. Scoped to `kimi` (gateway-served models matching the thinking-model name pattern are unaffected). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kimi-native-reasoning-injected-1480.test.ts`. (thanks @2220258345)
+- **fix(executors):** recover from a strict gateway's `context_management: Extra inputs are not permitted` 400 (port from 9router#1468, [#6420](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6420)). **Claude Code** always sends a top-level `context_management` field; strict anthropic-compatible gateways reject it. The dedicated context-editing 400-fallback only fired when OmniRoute's own `contextEditing` feature was enabled (default off), so a client-sent field passed through untouched and 400'd. `context_management` is now in the generic reactive field-strip list, so it's stripped-and-retried once regardless of the feature flag (with correct request re-signing for claude-compatible relays). Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-field-strips.test.ts`. (thanks @ohahe52-dot)
+- **fix(network):** enable **RFC 8305 Happy Eyeballs** (`autoSelectFamily`) on the direct-egress undici dispatcher (port from 9router#1237, [#6423](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6423)). When DNS returns both IPv6 (AAAA) and IPv4 (A) and the IPv6 route is broken (e.g. a NAT64 `64:ff9b::` prefix without routing), undici tried IPv6 first and hung until `ETIMEDOUT` (then a 502 + account lockout), even though `curl` reached the same host. The direct dispatcher now races both families and uses whichever connects first. Proxy paths pin family via `proxyTls` and are unaffected. Regression guard: `tests/unit/direct-dispatcher-pipelining-4580.test.ts`. (thanks @adentdk)
+- **fix(combo):** round-robin now advances the rotation pointer past the model that **actually served**, not the eagerly-scheduled one (port from 9router#948, [#6428](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6428)). With `stickyLimit: 1` (true round-robin), when the scheduled model failed and a _different_ model served via fallback, the counter had already advanced +1 from the scheduled index — so the next request reused the fallback-served model, degrading round-robin into hot-spotting on whichever model was healthy. The pointer now advances to the served index + 1 (mirroring the sticky-limit>1 path). Session-stickiness (#3825) and distribution are preserved. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-rr-fallback-advance-948.test.ts`. (thanks @binsarjr)
+- **fix(sse):** a non-string `model` field is now rejected with a `400` before the resolver, instead of crashing downstream `.toLowerCase()`/`.split()` calls into an empty-body `500` that escapes the error sanitizer ([#6407](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6407)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/chat-non-string-model-6407.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** unknown `/api/*` routes now return a JSON `404` (instead of the dashboard HTML shell) and scalar chat params (`model`/`temperature`/etc.) are validated **before** the provider lookup so malformed requests fail fast with a clear `400` ([#6424](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6424), [#6412](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6412)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/api/api-catchall-json-404.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chat-early-schema-validation-6412.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/chat/completions` now rejects a non-JSON `Content-Type` with a `400` before parsing the body ([#6414](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6414)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-chat-completions-content-type-6414.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the `X-OmniRoute-Compression` response header is now echoed on `/v1/chat/completions` and `/v1/completions` ([#6422](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6422)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression-header-echo-6422.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** concurrent `GET /v1/models` requests are coalesced into a single catalog build ([#6408](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6408)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-models-concurrent-6408.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/completions` now echoes the requested `body.model` in its JSON + streamed responses ([#6429](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6429)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/completions-body-model-echo.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** env-var master keys now see the full `/v1/models` catalog ([#6406](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6406)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/models-catalog-envkey-6406.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** non-streaming `/v1/completions` responses now echo `body.model` aligned with the `X-OmniRoute-Model` header ([#6426](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6426)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-completions-model-header-match-6426.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** unknown `/v1/*` routes now return a JSON `404 not_found` instead of the Next.js dashboard HTML shell ([#6405](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6405)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api/v1-catchall-json-404.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the per-connection provider models route now degrades to the shipped catalog when a provider's `/models` endpoint answers with a redirect ([#6267](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6267)) — a `qwen-web` import failed with a raw `Redirect blocked … (307)` 503. `safeOutboundFetch` throws `REDIRECT_BLOCKED` on the 307, `getSafeOutboundFetchErrorStatus` maps it to 503, and `buildDiscoveryErrorFallbackResponse` treated every 503 as a hard error — so the non-empty `getModelsByProviderId("qwen-web")` catalog was never surfaced. A models-endpoint redirect is not a fixable-config error (unlike `URL_GUARD_BLOCKED`/`INVALID_URL`, which stay hard errors), so it now falls back to the local/cached catalog before the 503 short-circuit. General fix — covers any config-driven provider that 307s. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-qwen-web-redirect-6267.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the per-connection provider models route (MCP `list_models_catalog` + the dashboard import view) now merges USER-ADDED custom models into its response ([#6247](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6247)) — custom models live in the `key_value` namespace `customModels`, which the live REST `/api/v1/models` already merges, but `src/app/api/providers/[id]/models/route.ts` never read `getCustomModels`, so custom models were dropped on both the discovery-success and local_catalog paths. They are now folded into the returned model list (deduped by id, stamped `owned_by: provider`), fixing MCP + the dashboard import view in one place. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-custom-merge-6247.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo tool-calling follow-up turns no longer fail upstream with `422 {"detail":"Validation error"}` (tokens 0/0, rejected pre-inference). The #6234 tool-result-feedback fix serialized the **entire** multi-turn conversation into GitLab's single-file `code_suggestions` (`small_file`) generation endpoint — folded history that turn-N sent as an oversized `current_file.content_above_cursor` **and** duplicated verbatim into `user_instruction`, tripping the AI-Gateway's `small_file` validation guard. The executor now **bounds** that prompt: it keeps system + latest user message + the most-recent tool round (dropping older turns), caps oversized tool results, and stops duplicating the full prompt into `user_instruction` (which now carries only the short latest user message) — while still feeding the most-recent tool result back so the agent continues (`open-sse/executors/gitlab.ts`, [#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)). The unit test covers the bounding logic; the upstream 422→200 clearing is VPS-only (Hard Rule #18). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-exchange-bounded-6220.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(i18n):** the provider-detail (`/dashboard/providers/[id]`) connection-status filter labels no longer render as `__MISSING__:All` / `__MISSING__:Active` / `__MISSING__:Error` / `__MISSING__:Banned` / `__MISSING__:CreditsExhausted` in non-English locales (notably pt-BR) ([#6290](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6290)). Root cause was **not** the namespace mismatch the issue guessed — the `providers.filter*` keys resolve correctly in `en.json`; the debt lived in the locale mirrors (`src/i18n/messages/*.json`), where these five keys carried the `__MISSING__:` sync sentinel in ~15 locales and were absent entirely in ~26 others, so next-intl found the key and echoed the sentinel verbatim. All 40 non-English/-Chinese mirrors now ship real translations for the five `providers.filter*` labels. Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-provider-filter-keys-6290.test.ts`. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(providers):** the `copilot-m365-web` streaming executor now emits `debug`-level WebSocket diagnostics ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)) — the outbound WS URL (with the `access_token` **redacted** via `redactWsUrl()`), handshake success/failure, and each received SignalR frame's `type`/`target`. Previously the streaming path logged nothing, so an empty `content:null` response (the M365 Education / Starter tier symptom fixed in #6234) was undiagnosable even at `APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug`. The change is debug-level and side-effect-free — it does not alter streaming behavior or the frame parser, and the token never reaches the logs. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-web-logging-6210.test.ts` (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(resilience):** a round-robin combo no longer returns `503 all upstream accounts are unavailable` when a compatibility-rejected target is actually healthy ([#6238](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6238)). `filterTargetsByRequestCompatibility` drops request-incompatible targets (tool/vision/structured-output unsupported, or below the required context window) **before** any availability check runs, and its `compatible.length === 0` safety net only fired when _all_ targets were filtered — not when the kept targets later all turned out runtime-unavailable (circuit-open / cooldown / no credentials). So a combo could 503 while a compat-rejected-but-healthy provider sat unused. `handleRoundRobinCombo` now keeps the compat-rejected set and, when every compat-kept target was skipped without a single real attempt, probes those rejected targets as a **last-resort fallback tier** (via the new pure `open-sse/services/combo/comboCompatFallback.ts`) before crystallizing the 503. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-roundrobin-compat-fallback-6238.test.ts`. (thanks @ThongAccount)
+
+- **fix(startup):** best-effort self-heal for a corrupted Turbopack dev cache on Windows ([#6289](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6289)). On Windows, `pnpm dev` can fail at startup when Turbopack `mmap`s a persistent-cache SST file and the OS refuses the mapping (`os error 1455` — "paging file too small"), which Turbopack surfaces as a misleading `Module not found: Can't resolve '@/shared/utils/machine'`. This is a **known upstream Turbopack cache-corruption bug — not our code**. The dev launcher (`scripts/dev/run-next.mjs`) now wraps `nextApp.prepare()` and, when it rejects with that signature (`isTurbopackCacheCorruption` in the new `scripts/dev/turbopackCacheHeal.mjs`), purges `.build/next/**/cache/turbopack` and retries **once** with a clear log. **Caveat — best-effort only:** the corruption often surfaces as a runtime overlay rather than a `prepare()` rejection, so this cannot always intercept it; the reliable remedy remains manually deleting the Turbopack cache dir.

+- **fix(providers):** qodercli PAT auth no longer fails with `spawn qodercli ENOENT` on Windows ([#6263](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6263)) — `spawnQoderCli` spawned the bare `qodercli` name with `shell:false` and an unenriched env, so the npm `.cmd` wrapper under `%APPDATA%\npm` (a user-PATH directory) was never resolved. It now resolves the absolute `.cmd`/`.exe` path through the existing `getCliRuntimeStatus("qoder")` resolver in `src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts` (memoized), spawns with `shell` when the target is a `.cmd`/`.bat`, and uses the cliRuntime-enriched env (PATH + PATHEXT + APPDATA); the ENOENT error now lists the searched paths plus the `CLI_QODER_BIN` override. End-to-end spawn on a real Windows host is host-only (Hard Rule #18); the path-resolution logic is unit-tested. Regression guard: `tests/unit/qodercli-windows-resolve-6263.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(sse):** the reasoning-token buffer no longer inflates **probe-sized `max_tokens`** ([#6274](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6274)) — Claude Code's `/model` capability check sends `max_tokens: 1`, but for a thinking-capable model with a large output cap (e.g. `glm-5.2`) the #3587 headroom heuristic (`max(current + 1000, ceil(current * 1.5))`) rewrote it to `1001` and forwarded that upstream, wasting tokens on a request that was never a genuine reasoning budget. `resolveReasoningBufferedMaxTokens()` (`open-sse/services/reasoningTokenBuffer.ts`) now short-circuits and returns the caller's value verbatim when it is below the new `REASONING_BUFFER_MIN_TRIGGER` (256) threshold — a tiny explicit limit is a probe, not a reasoning request. Real budgets still receive the #3587 headroom unchanged, and the guard runs after the existing capability checks so unknown / non-reasoning models keep returning `null`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/reasoning-token-buffer-6274.test.ts`. (thanks @brightfiscalband)
+
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute reset-password` now works as a real subcommand, and password resets over piped (non-TTY) stdin actually apply ([#6261](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6261), [#6258](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6258)). Two coupled defects: (1) **#6261** — `bin/omniroute.mjs` routed everything through Commander with only two pre-Commander bypasses (`--mcp`, `reset-encrypted-columns`), so `omniroute reset-password` was rejected as an unknown command; only the separate `omniroute-reset-password` bin worked, while the docs falsely advertised the subcommand (incl. a bogus "legacy alias still works"). A pre-Commander bypass mirroring `reset-encrypted-columns` now dynamically imports `bin/reset-password.mjs` (which self-executes) before Commander parses; the three doc lines were corrected. (2) **#6258** — `bin/reset-password.mjs` issued two sequential `rl.question` prompts; under piped stdin the second read never settled at EOF, so `main()` never reached `resetManagementPassword` and the reset was a silent no-op (both prompts printed, no success, password unchanged). The CLI now detects non-TTY stdin and reads it once (first line = password, second line = confirm if present, else reused), adds a `--password-stdin` flag (entire stdin is the password, no confirmation), and exits `0` explicitly so the success line always flushes; interactive TTY behavior is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/reset-password-cli-6261-6258.test.ts` (3). (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(db):** the mass-migration **safety abort** now tells the operator how to bypass it and stops flooding the log ([#6260](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6260)) — after restoring a backup that wiped the migration tracking table, `runMigrations()` threw the abort on every downstream `ensureDbInitialized()`, re-logging the full banner 11+ times, and the message never mentioned the existing `OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS` escape hatch. The abort text now appends a bypass hint (set `OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS=0` in `server.env` / `DATA_DIR/.env`), and a new `MigrationSafetyAbortError` is memoized so repeated calls in the same process throw the same instance and emit a single concise line instead of the full cascade. Regression guard: `tests/unit/migration-safety-abort-6260.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(auth):** importing a **distinct** Codex/ChatGPT OAuth `auth.json` is no longer falsely rejected as "already exists" when it belongs to a different user in the same workspace ([#6301](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6301)). `findExistingCodexConnection` (in `src/lib/oauth/utils/codexAuthImport.ts`) deduped **only** on `providerSpecificData.workspaceId === accountId`, where `accountId` is the shared `chatgpt_account_id`/`tokens.account_id` — so two members of the same ChatGPT Team collapsed onto a single connection (409 `duplicate_account`). The id_token's `https://api.openai.com/auth` claim carries a per-user `chatgpt_user_id` alongside the workspace id (the device-flow path already persisted it as `chatgptUserId`, but the import path did not). Now `parseAndValidateCodexAuth` extracts `userId` (`chatgpt_user_id` → `user_id` → JWT `sub`) into `ParsedCodexAuth`, the create/update paths persist `chatgptUserId` in `providerSpecificData` (mirroring `codex.ts`), and dedup keys on `workspaceId` **AND** `chatgptUserId` — with a backward-compat fallback to legacy accountId-only matching when no stored connection for that workspace records a `chatgptUserId`, so genuinely-same accounts still dedup. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-auth-import-userid-dedup-6301.test.ts` (4). (thanks @anungma)
+
+- **fix(providers):** importing models for the **venice-web** provider no longer fails with a red "Provider venice-web does not support models listing" ([#6269](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6269)). `venice-web` is a web-cookie provider with an executor but no upstream `/v1/models` endpoint and no registry `models`, so the models route fell through to the tail `400`. Mirroring the `jules`/`linkup-search`/`ollama-search` fix (#5569), it now ships a static local catalog entry in `src/lib/providers/staticModels.ts` — seeding the current Venice lineup (`venice-uncensored`, `llama-3.3-70b`, `qwen3-235b`, `qwen3-4b`, `deepseek-r1-671b`; Venice rotates its catalog, see docs.venice.ai/models/overview) — so the route returns `200` with `source:"local_catalog"`, `intentional:true`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/static-models-venice-web-6269.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(api):** the specialty model catalogs (`/v1/embeddings`, `/v1/images`, `/v1/music`, `/v1/videos` model lists) are now derived from the **unified catalog filtered by a predicate** (`getSpecialtyModelsResponse`) instead of ad-hoc per-route logic, so they consistently respect active-credential visibility and stay in sync with the main catalog ([#6303](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6303)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/specialty-model-catalog-routes.test.ts`. (thanks @makcimbx)
+- **fix(api):** the agent-bridge server route now resolves the MITM manager via a **dynamic `import("@/mitm/manager.runtime")`** so Turbopack does not statically pull the stub (or over-bundle the manager), and the agent-skills generator anchors its output base path with `path.join(process.cwd(), …)` so Turbopack's static analyzer stops tracing the whole project root ([#6329](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6329), [#6366](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6366)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/agent-bridge-server-route-dynamic-import.test.ts`. (thanks @Iammilansoni)
+- **fix(api):** internal probes (combo-test, cloud-sync verify) now pick a **management-scoped / allow-all API key** instead of naively grabbing `getApiKeys()[0]` — a restricted `self:usage` first row made the probe fail with "Model X is not allowed for this API key" even when the combo path was healthy (`pickApiKeyForInternalUse` in `src/lib/db/apiKeys.ts`). The API-manager model editor also falls back to `/api/models?all=true` when `/v1/models` is catalog-protected ([#6372](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6372)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/pick-internal-api-key-6372.test.ts`. (thanks @jmengit)
+- **fix(live-ws):** the Live Dashboard WebSocket server now **rejects on bind failure** (e.g. `EADDRINUSE` when the API bridge already holds the port) instead of letting the error surface as an unhandled `error` event that crash-loops the process — the `error` listener is attached to `wss` (not `server`) and releases the EventBus subscription on a failed start ([#6324](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6324)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/live-ws-eaddrinuse-6324.test.ts`. (thanks @vinayakkulkarni)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the Home provider-topology widget now trusts the live provider-metrics snapshot — it uses `topology.errorProvider` and live `activeRequests` directly instead of re-deriving state from a stale `lastErrorAt` or applying a frontend timeout filter, so the topology reflects real-time provider health ([#6322](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6322)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/home-provider-topology-live-state.test.ts`. (thanks @xz-dev)
+- **fix(sse):** strip zero-width markers from streamed **tool-call arguments** — a follow-up to [#5857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5857). That PR removed injected zero-width joiners (U+200D) from streamed assistant text/reasoning but deliberately left tool-call argument JSON byte-exact. The request-side obfuscation (`open-sse/services/claudeCodeObfuscation.ts`) injects ZWJ into agent words — including the temp path inside the Bash tool description — and Claude models copy that verbatim into generated commands, which are delivered as tool-call arguments rather than assistant text. As a result the ZWJ survived and corrupted code blocks (e.g. a temp path rendered with an invisible joiner). Now `open-sse/handlers/responseSanitizer.ts` strips zero-width code points from tool-call argument strings at every emit site (OpenAI non-stream/stream chat `tool_calls` + legacy `function_call`, native Responses `function_call` items, the OpenAI→Responses conversion, and the native Responses streaming `response.function_call_arguments.delta/.done` events). Only zero-width code points are removed; JSON structure and all other bytes stay identical (no parse/restringify), so normal arguments remain byte-exact. Regression guard: 6 new cases in `tests/unit/response-sanitizer.test.ts` (suite 50/50).
+
+- **fix(nodejs):** the default app log path now resolves under `DATA_DIR` (`~/.omniroute/logs/application/app.log`) instead of `process.cwd()` ([#6197](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6197)) — the globally-installed CLI runs from an arbitrary working directory, so anchoring the default to cwd made file logging silently write to (or no-op under) an unrelated directory, contradicting the documented `.env.example` default. `getAppLogFilePath()` now computes the default lazily via the pure `resolveDataDir()` resolver (honours a per-process `DATA_DIR`, no directory-creation side effect); an explicit `APP_LOG_FILE_PATH` still wins. Regression guard: `tests/unit/logenv-datadir-path-6197.test.ts` (3).
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge/`startMitm` no longer aborts in containers/headless when the Antigravity-default DNS step can't write `/etc/hosts` ([#6127](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6127)), and the privileged command's stderr now reaches `app.log` instead of only a bare exit code hitting the toast ([#6198](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6198)). The default DNS step (`addDNSEntry`) was called unguarded while cert install and the two sibling DNS steps were each best-effort — in the runtime Docker image (`USER node`, no `sudo`, read-only `/etc/hosts`) it threw `Command failed with code 1` out of `startMitmInternal` and killed the whole start, discarding the stderr. The three DNS steps are extracted into a best-effort `provisionDnsEntries()` where each failure is logged with the full `err` (stderr included, folded in by `systemCommands.ts`) and never aborts the start. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-dns-graceful-degrade-6127.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** copilot-m365-web now supports the M365 Education "Starter / OfficeWebIncludedCopilot" tier and no longer returns an empty `content:null` stream ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)). Two gaps: (1) `buildWsUrl()` hardcoded the individual-consumer scenario (`OfficeWebPaidConsumerCopilot`, `isEdu=false`) — the EDU tier is now opt-in via `providerSpecificData.tier="edu"`, emitting `scenario=OfficeWebIncludedCopilot`/`isEdu=true` (the individual path is unchanged); (2) the EDU/GPT-5.5 path streams deltas via `arguments[0].writeAtCursor` (incremental) instead of only `messages[].text` (accumulated snapshots), which the parser dropped — a new `accumulateBotContent()` folds both formats, with `type:2 item.result.message` as a last-resort fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-edu-writeatcursor-6210.test.ts` (10). (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo executor now feeds tool results back into the prompt instead of looping ([#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)) — `buildPrompt()` branched only on `system`/`user` and took `userParts.at(-1)`, silently dropping the `assistant{tool_calls}` + `tool{result}` turns the client appended, so the reconstructed prompt was byte-identical to turn 1 and the model re-emitted the same `<tool>` call forever. When a tool exchange is present the full conversation is now serialized, folding each tool result back keyed by its `tool_call_id`; simple conversations keep the legacy shape. Complements the tool_call emission from [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051) (the `kilo-duplicate` label was a false positive — different, sequential defect). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-result-feedback-6220.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** opencode-go/opencode-zen can now synthesize the OpenCode CLI identity headers Cloudflare requires on VPS egress ([#5997](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5997)) — on a datacenter VPS, `opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/chat/completions` 403s (HTML challenge) requests lacking CLI identity, while the reporter's control curl proved that `User-Agent: opencode-cli/1.0.0` + `x-opencode-client: cli` + `x-opencode-project: default` + fresh request/session UUIDs succeed. Opt-in via `OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS=true` (values overridable via `OPENCODE_GO_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_CLIENT`/`OPENCODE_PROJECT`); it fills only headers the client did not already send. Kept **off by default** — the forward-only path is deliberate (fabricating a wrong value risks upstream rejection; a prior dedup regressed with `opencode/local`), so this replaces the fragile local header-injection shim without changing default behavior. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-cli-headers-synthesis-5997.test.ts` (6). (thanks @aleksesipenko)
+- fix(resilience): sticky session affinity now evicts and fails over to another account when the pinned account is exhausted/unavailable (#6219)
+
+- fix(sse): Responses API passthrough now drops internal commentary-phase output before forwarding to clients (gated by RESPONSES_PASSTHROUGH_DROP_COMMENTARY, default on) (#6199)
+
+- **fix(sse):** tool-call function schemas with a root `type: null` are now coerced to `type: "object"` before dispatch ([#6359](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6359)) — clients like the Codex app emit `parameters: { type: null, ... }` for some tools, which OpenAI-compatible upstreams reject with `400 Invalid schema for function '...': schema must be a JSON Schema of 'type: "object"', got 'type: null'`, failing the whole request. `toolSchemaSanitizer` already stripped the null; it now re-adds the mandatory root `"object"` type (and empty `properties`/open `additionalProperties` when absent). Combinator roots (`anyOf`/`oneOf`/`allOf`) and explicit root types are left untouched. Regression guard: 5 new cases in `tests/unit/tool-schema-sanitizer.test.mjs`.
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge no longer fails to start on npm/Electron/VPS installs with "MITM manager stub reached at runtime" ([#6344](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6344)) — v3.8.45 flipped the production bundler default to Turbopack, but `next.config.mjs` aliased `@/mitm/manager` to its Docker-only degraded stub **unconditionally**. That was harmless while Docker (which sets the alias intentionally for #3390 graceful degradation) was the sole Turbopack consumer, but once every artifact built with Turbopack the stub shipped to all non-Docker users and `startMitm` threw on the first Agent-Bridge start. The alias is now opt-in via `OMNIROUTE_MITM_STUB=1` (set only by the Dockerfile) through the shared `scripts/build/mitm-stub-flag.mjs` helper; default builds bundle the real manager. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-stub-alias-6344.test.mjs` (4).
+
+- **fix(proxy):** stop the v3.8.44 proxy regression that leaked the real IP and disabled healthy proxies ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Two coupled defects from the new health scheduler: (1) **IP leak** — when a proxy assigned to a connection was marked `inactive`, resolution fell through to a **direct** egress instead of blocking, exposing the operator's real IP; (2) **over-deactivation** — the sweep flipped a proxy to `inactive` on the **first** failed probe and counted our own 5s timeout / a probe-target `5xx` as the proxy's fault, so healthy paid proxies vanished from egress selection ("my proxies are not being used anymore"). Fix: the sweep decision is extracted into a pure, network-free `decideProxyHealthAction` (`src/lib/proxyHealth/decision.ts`) — by default the health check now **only counts/logs and never downgrades status** (a proxy is downgraded/removed only with `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE=true`, after `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE_AFTER` **consecutive** conclusive failures); probes are classified tri-state so an inconclusive result (our timeout, or a `5xx` from the probe target) never penalizes the proxy, and the probe timeout is raised 5s→15s. Separately, `safeResolveProxy` now **fails closed** via the existing policy: a connection whose assigned proxy is dead is blocked instead of leaking direct (`hasBlockingProxyAssignment`), honoring the explicit `proxy off` toggles and the `PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true` opt-out. Existing proxies stuck `inactive` by the old behavior need a one-time manual re-activate (the operator owns proxy status). Regression guards: `tests/unit/proxy-health-decide-action-6246.test.ts`, `tests/unit/proxy-assigned-unavailable-6246.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(proxy):** make "Test All" read-only and add bulk enable/disable ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Complements the core fail-closed / scheduler fix (#6296) with the two remaining reporter asks. (1) The **"Test All" button** (`POST /api/settings/proxies/auto-test`) used to flip a proxy to `inactive` on a failed reachability probe; since the egress selector excludes `inactive` proxies, a flaky probe (an unreachable `httpbin.org`, a proxy that blocks `HEAD`, or a slow paid proxy) silently disabled every proxy that failed — "Test All" is now **read-only by default** (only the operator sets a proxy active/inactive; opt back into the legacy test-and-set with `PROXY_HEALTH_AUTO_DEACTIVATE=true`). (2) Adds a **bulk enable/disable** proxies endpoint + toolbar action (`POST /api/settings/proxies/batch-activate`) so an operator can re-activate proxies in one click. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-health-6246.test.ts`. (thanks @tenshiak)
+
+- **chatcore (tools): stop the default 128-tool cap from silently dropping opencode's `task`/MCP tools.** opencode (used as an MCP/agent host) sends a large tool list; when it exceeds the speculative `MAX_TOOLS_LIMIT` (128) default, `truncateToolList` did a blind `tools.slice(0, 128)`, dropping every tool past index 128 — including opencode's built-in `task` tool (subagent launch) and many MCP tools, so models routed through OmniRoute could no longer spawn subagents or reach part of their tools. The cap exists to avoid upstream `400`s for providers with real hard limits (e.g. grok-cli 200), so it is kept for those: detection of the opencode client (`isOpencodeClient` — any `x-opencode-*` header, or `opencode` in the user-agent) now only bypasses the **speculative 128 default**, never a known provider ceiling. Precedence is explicit — a proactive/detected provider limit always truncates (even for opencode); otherwise opencode forwards its full tool list; otherwise the unchanged 128 default applies to every other client. Refactors `getEffectiveToolLimit` into `getKnownToolLimit(provider) ?? DEFAULT_LIMIT` (byte-identical for existing callers) and fixes a cosmetic debug-log that reported the truncated count instead of the original. Regression guard: `tests/unit/tool-limit-detector.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the macOS MITM-cert install check now matches the system keychain again. `security find-certificate -a -Z` prints the SHA-1 as a colon-less hex string, but the installed-check compared it against `getCertFingerprint()`'s colon-separated form, so the substring match never hit — the cert was reported as not-installed and re-prompted for the sudo install on every run. Fingerprints are now normalized (colons stripped, upper-cased) on both sides via the extracted `macCertOutputHasFingerprint` helper. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-cert-mac-fingerprint.test.ts`. ([#6204](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6204), closes [#6134](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6134) — thanks @rianonehub)
+
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/messages/count_tokens` now counts `tool_use`, `tool_result` and `thinking` content blocks (and array-form `system` prompts) in the local-estimation path, instead of only `text`. Real agentic conversations keep ~95% of their tokens inside tool results; the previous estimate returned near-zero for them, which silently broke Claude Code's auto-compaction (context grew past the window with no compaction until the upstream API rejected the request). The real provider-side count path is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/messages-count-tokens-route.test.ts`. ([#6221](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6221) — thanks @luweiCN)
+
+- **fix(antigravity):** strip a trailing assistant prefill turn for Vertex Claude models to avoid upstream 400s ([#6114](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6114)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-claude-prefill-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(security):** the mutable cloud-agent routes (`/api/cloud/credentials/update`, `/api/cloud/models/alias`) now require management auth instead of being treated as public. They were classified as public API routes, so a request without management credentials could update stored cloud-agent credentials and model aliases. They are removed from the public-route set, classified as management routes in the authz pipeline, and gated by `requireManagementAuth`; cloud **read**/auth routes stay public. Regression guards: `tests/unit/cloud-write-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts`, `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6233](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6233) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+
+- **refactor(dashboard):** extract the onboarding-wizard "Open provider details" link target into a pure, unit-tested `buildProviderDetailsHref(connection)` helper. The wizard already routes by `connection.id` (the node UUID) rather than the provider category slug (#6144/#6145); this hardens that behavior behind a tested helper that guards a missing id/connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-onboarding-href.test.ts`. ([#6166](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6166) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+
+- **fix(security):** the doubao synthetic device-id generator now derives its digits via an unbiased crypto-random draw (rejection sampling over `crypto.randomBytes()`) instead of a `% 10` reduction, closing a CodeQL `js/biased-cryptographic-random` finding.
+- **fix(agentSkills):** the GitHub-skills generator now resolves `outputDir` to an absolute path before writing, fixing a regression introduced by #6366 (relative-to-cwd base path) that could write generated skill files to the wrong directory.
+- **fix(security):** `/api/keys/{id}/devices` now checks the HTTP method before auth/validation, returning a `405` for non-GET/DELETE verbs instead of a misleading `401`/`500` (closes a `dast-smoke` QUERY-method finding).
+- **fix(quality):** clear the last 2 heavy quality-gate reds on the release tip (cycle pre-flight).
+- **fix(mitm):** the test suite and CI can never mutate the OS trust store — `OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1` is set globally for tests/CI so `installCert`/`uninstallCert`/`installTproxyCa` skip the privileged OS dispatch ([#6310](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6310); full detail is under the [3.8.45] section below — this branch received it via the parallel-cycle sync-back).
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/github-skills` now Zod-validates its request body; documented the new quality-gate env vars and pinned the merge-integrity GitHub Actions to a commit SHA.
+- **fix(skills):** generate the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry and align the agent-skills catalog-count tests (follow-up to #6186).
+- **fix(quality):** clear the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors and make `validate-release-green` suppressions-aware.
+- **fix(security):** proxy-pool `random` rotation now selects via `crypto.randomInt` instead of `Math.random` — silences the post-release CodeQL `js/insecure-randomness` alerts (#698/#699) that flagged `Math.random` flowing into the selected proxy's credentials. Load-balancing selection is not a secret, but the crypto source is unbiased and clears the alert at the origin (#6365 follow-up).

+- **chore(providers):** remove deprecated **MiMo V2** model entries from the catalogs (xiaomi-mimo, opencode-go, zenmux-free, audio TTS) — the upstream V2 line is superseded by MiMo V2.5; drops `mimo-v2-tts`, `mimo-v2-pro`, `mimo-v2-omni`, `mimo-v2-flash`, `mimo-v2-flash-free` and realigns the provider-catalog tests.

CI/release-pipeline work: #6167, #6203, #6214, #6215, #6218, #6273, #6275, #6283, #6284, #6285, #6300, #6305.
+- **chore(release):** additional zero-ref release-cycle plumbing on this branch, kept out of `release:uncovered` on purpose (no `#N` in the commit subject to cite): opening the v3.8.46 cycle, opening/closing the v3.8.45 cycle, the finalized [3.8.45] CHANGELOG i18n sync-back to 42 mirrors, the v3.8.45 cognitive/cyclomatic and file-size drift rebaselines, ESLint stale-suppression pruning (4,273 → 4,233), and clearing test-masking/docs-all pre-flight reds for v3.8.45.
+
+### ⚡ Performance & Infrastructure
+
+- **perf(release-green):** the pre-flight validator (`scripts/quality/validate-release-green.mjs`) now runs its 4 slow suites (unit / vitest / integration / pack-artifact) **concurrently** via `Promise.all` — pre-flight wall time drops from ~the sum of the suites to ~the slowest one (~30min saved per round; Phase 0 was the nº1 bottleneck of the v3.8.45 release benchmark, 2h54 of 6h34 e2e). Guard: `tests/unit/validate-release-green.test.ts` ("runs the slow suites CONCURRENTLY"). ([#6319](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6319))
+- **fix(ci):** `scripts/release/sync-next-cycle.mjs` — two defects found live in its first production run (v3.8.45 Phase 5): (1) the `git()` helper's default 1 MiB `maxBuffer` crashed with `ENOBUFS` on `git show origin/main:CHANGELOG.md` (the CHANGELOG alone is >1 MiB) — widened to 64 MiB; (2) the i18n resync only propagated the `[NEXT]` (TBD) section, leaving the just-shipped finalized section as "— TBD" in all 42 mirrors — it now also syncs `[prevVersion]` bounded by the heading below it (new exported pure helper `versionAfter`). Guards: +5 tests in `tests/unit/sync-next-cycle.test.ts` (8/8). ([#6327](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6327))
+- **test(ci):** concurrency-sensitive flaky tests are **quarantined into a serial pass** (`tests/unit/serial/`, `--test-concurrency=1`, appended to every unit runner incl. sharded variants — the serial pass is sharded too so concurrent shard jobs never self-collide). Initial set: `glm-coding-plan-monthly-3580`, `quota-division-blocks`, `provider-health-autopilot`, `combo-health-autopilot` — the class behind the ~28min CI wedges/re-runs (two live 1h+ wedges cancelled during this PR's own validation). Discovery + TIA gates track the new glob; systemic root cause (async logger writing after teardown) tracked in [#6360](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6360). Guard: `tests/unit/test-serial-quarantine.test.ts` (4). ([#6347](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6347))

+## [3.8.45] — 2026-07-06
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(providers):** add **Yuanbao (web)** as a cookie-session provider ([#6196](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6196)) — `yuanbao-web` (Tencent Yuanbao, `yuanbao.tencent.com`) with cookie-only auth (`hy_user`/`hy_token` + public agent id), SSE→OpenAI translation incl. `reasoning_content`, exposing DeepSeek V3/R1 + Hunyuan / Hunyuan-T1. Regression guard: `tests/unit/providers-yuanbao-web.test.ts`. `together-web` was **deferred** (no verifiable web-session endpoint — needs a captured request) and `huggingchat-web` **dropped** (the existing `huggingchat` already is a web-cookie provider). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** route the built-in **agentrouter** through the dynamic Claude-Code wire image ([#6056](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6056)) — a small static allow-set (`CC_WIRE_IMAGE_BUILTINS` in `open-sse/services/ccWireImageBuiltins.ts`), consulted by `isClaudeCodeCompatible` / `isClaudeCodeCompatibleProvider` / `applyFingerprint`, makes agentrouter adopt the CC wire-image headers + fingerprint **while guarding the CC baseUrl/auth branches** so it keeps its own registry `baseUrl` and `x-api-key` auth. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentrouter-cc-wire-image.test.ts` (asserts the wire image is applied AND agentrouter's baseUrl/auth are preserved). Live WAF-acceptance against agentrouter.org is a VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18).
+- **feat(providers):** **bulk-add API keys for Cloudflare Workers AI** ([#6174](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6174)) — `cloudflare-ai` is removed from the bulk-add exclusion list and the bulk parser gains a 3-field `name|accountId|apiKey` mode; the bulk route now builds a **per-entry** `providerSpecificData` so each key carries its own `accountId` (fixing the previous shared-object reuse), and both the create + key-validation paths receive it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/bulk-api-key-parser-cloudflare.test.ts`. (thanks @muflifadla38)
+- **feat(dashboard):** routing/settings UX clarity ([#6147](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6147)) — (1) weighted combos show the **effective routing share %** next to each weight when weights don't sum to 100 (`WeightTotalBar.tsx`); (2) the status widget's user-facing **"Cloud Sync" label is renamed** to "Remote Settings Sync" (`CloudSyncStatus.tsx`; internal ids/state untouched); (3) built-in providers gain an **opt-in advanced base-URL override** (`isBaseUrlOverrideEligibleProvider`, hidden behind an "Advanced" toggle, reusing the existing `providerSpecificData.baseUrl` persistence — not globally widened). Regression guard: `tests/unit/routing-settings-ux-6147.test.ts`.
+- **feat(combo):** add an option to **disable session stickiness**, per-combo or globally — round-robin / random combos can rotate to a different connection on every request instead of pinning a whole conversation to one connection by its first-message hash. Resolution precedence per-combo `config.disableSessionStickiness` → global `settings.disableSessionStickiness` → default `false` (preserves the #3825 prompt-cache/504 fix); gates **both** stickiness call sites in `open-sse/services/combo.ts`. Exposed as a global toggle (Combo Defaults) and a per-combo Inherit/on/off control. ([#6168](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6168)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-disable-session-stickiness.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+- **feat(docker):** add the `OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO` env flag for root-less / user-namespaced deployments — the MITM cert-trust command path (`resolveSudoSpawn` in `src/mitm/systemCommands.ts`) now strips the leading `sudo` when the flag is truthy, in addition to the existing root / sudo-missing cases, so the Proxy Agent runs without `sudo` (the operator trusts the CA manually, e.g. via `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`). Argv-array `spawn` preserved — no shell interpolation (Hard Rule #13). ([#6122](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6122)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-systemCommands-no-sudo.test.ts`. (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Requesty** as an OpenAI-compatible gateway provider (BYOK, base `https://router.requesty.ai/v1`, ~200 free requests/day) — wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/requesty/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/gateways.ts`). ([#6120](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6120)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/requesty-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add **configured-only / available-only filters** to the Free Provider Rankings page ([#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150)) — hide providers you haven't configured, or whose connections are all rate-limited / out of quota, via server-side query params (`?configuredOnly` / `?availableOnly` on `GET /api/free-provider-rankings`) backed by a testable lib helper reusing the in-process connection state (no Redis). Both filters default off, so the default view is unchanged; this supersedes the earlier client-side "Configured Only" toggle (#6245) with an available-only dimension and unit-tested logic. Regression guard: `tests/unit/freeProviderRankings-filters.test.ts`.
+- **feat(rankings):** add a **'Configured Only'** filter to the Free Provider Rankings page, so the table can be narrowed to just the providers you have configured connections for (with an empty-state hint when none are configured). New `en.json` keys and a pure filter helper covered by `tests/unit/free-provider-rankings-configured-filter.test.ts`. ([#6245](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6245), closes [#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150) — thanks @Iammilansoni)
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the test suite and CI can never mutate the OS trust store again — `OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1` (set by the global test setup and all CI workflows) makes `installCert`/`uninstallCert`/`installTproxyCa` skip the privileged OS dispatch while preserving the #4546 environment-skip contract. Root cause of the self-hosted runner incident: a cert-flow integration test installed a 105-byte fake PEM into `/usr/local/share/ca-certificates`, breaking ALL system TLS on the VM. Regression guard: `tests/unit/system-trust-test-guard.test.ts`. ([#6310](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6310))
+- **fix(security):** `/api/keys/{id}/devices` answers a clean method-first **405** for undocumented HTTP methods (e.g. the new `QUERY`) via a dedicated `http-method-guard` rule — the auth layer was answering 401 first, failing schemathesis's unsupported-methods check. Same pattern as the v3.8.44 TRACE fix. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dast-method-not-allowed.test.ts`.
+- **fix(combo):** the #6216 empty-stream failover is restricted to **truly empty bodies** (zero bytes — the Gemini HTTP-200-empty case), restoring the #3399/#3685 pass-through contracts for `[DONE]`-terminated empty streams and incomplete Claude lifecycles. New guard: `#5976 truly EMPTY streaming body → invalid for combo failover` (87/87 across both suites).
+- **fix(combo):** 5 streaming-path fixes — locked-stream 500, error-frame-only-if-no-content, Gemini `MALFORMED_RESPONSE`→content_filter failover, correlationId substring search, per-model-500 lockout skip + request-logger UI detail. Maintainer follow-up: `releaseQualityClone` cancels the abandoned quality-check tee branch (per-request memory) + regression test. ([#6216](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6216) — thanks @hartmark)
+- **fix(skills):** generate the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry (the #6186 catalog addition never ran the generator — 8 integration assertions split between old/new counts) and align the agent-skills catalog counts across integration + unit suites (43 = 23 API + 20 CLI; 44 with config).
+- **fix(a2a):** finish the #6186 catalog-count update — `listCapabilities` metadata reported `coverage.api.total: 22` (type literal + value) and `SkillCoverageSchema` pinned `z.literal(22)`, so the schema would REJECT the correct runtime value with 23 API skills. All three aligned to 23.
+- **fix(github-skills):** add a missing import, unit tests and a settings JSON-parse fix for the GitHub agent-skill discovery/import flow. ([#6186](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6186) — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/github-skills` validates its body with a Zod schema (`validateBody`) instead of blind `request.json()` destructuring — a non-array `targets` would crash `.map`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/github-skills-route-validation.test.ts`.
+- **fix(docker):** add `id=` to the BuildKit cache mounts so strict builders (e.g. buildkitd with strict frontend parsing) accept the Dockerfile. ([#6291](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6291) — thanks @karimalsalah)
+- **fix(oauth):** register `zed` in the OAuth `PROVIDERS` map (fixes "Unknown provider" on the Zed sign-in flow) ([#6078](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6078) — thanks @anki1kr), and align `zed` in `OAUTH_PROVIDER_IDS` + the config enum after the merge.
+- **fix(doubao-web):** switch the Doubao web provider to the Dola global endpoint. ([#6235](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6235) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(doctor):** resolve two false-positive WARNs in the doctor diagnostics ([#6163](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6163), closes [#6162](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6162) — thanks @arssnndr)
+- **fix(providers):** refresh the GitHub Copilot model catalog to the current upstream set. ([#6154](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6154) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(providers):** correct the Kiro model catalog to real upstream ids — fabricated `claude-opus-4.7`/`claude-sonnet-4.6` entries removed, real `claude-sonnet-5`/`claude-sonnet-4.5`/`claude-haiku-4.5` kept. ([#6170](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6170))
+- **feat(sse):** surface Kiro adaptive-thinking reasoning frames as `reasoning_content` in the OpenAI-shaped stream. ([#6213](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6213) — thanks @VXNCXNX)
+- **fix(cli):** use `OMNIROUTE_SERVER_HOST` instead of the POSIX auto-set `HOSTNAME` for the bind address (fixes wrong bind on POSIX shells that export HOSTNAME). ([#6195](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6195), closes [#6194](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6194) — thanks @Theadd)
+- **feat(provider):** add Claude 5 Sonnet to the Claude Web provider catalog. ([#6209](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6209), closes [#6200](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6200) — thanks @Iammilansoni)
+- **fix(providers):** add `nvidia` to `PROVIDER_TOOL_LIMITS` (1536) to prevent silent tool-list truncation. ([#6177](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6177) — thanks @LuisAlejandroVega)
+- **fix(translator):** strip the `reasoning` param for nvidia `z-ai/glm-5.2` (upstream 400s on it). ([#6181](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6181) — thanks @kanztu)
+- **fix(dashboard):** providers page gains a data-timeout guard and the live-WS standalone wiring (no more indefinite spinner when the data fetch stalls). ([#6211](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6211))
+- **fix(sse):** surface the ChatGPT-web image silent-drop as an accurate error instead of an empty success. ([#6208](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6208))
+- **fix(cline):** force upstream streaming for Cline/ClinePass (streaming-only API) — non-stream client requests are served from the buffered SSE. ([#6165](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6165))
+- **fix(dashboard):** remove the always-on Auto-Routing (combo) banner from the home page — it did not reflect live routing state and reappeared on every fresh browser. Replacement guard: `tests/unit/home-no-autorouting-banner.test.ts`. ([#6164](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6164))
+- **fix(dashboard):** stop a model-test error from freezing the page (React #31 object-as-child toast) — errors go through `extractApiErrorMessage`. ([#6161](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6161))
+- **fix(oauth):** extract the keychain-import-only guard to its own module, restoring the oauth file-size freeze. ([#6158](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6158))
+
+- **fix(sse):** strip zero-width markers from streamed **tool-call arguments** — a follow-up to [#5857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5857). That PR removed injected zero-width joiners (U+200D) from streamed assistant text/reasoning but deliberately left tool-call argument JSON byte-exact. The request-side obfuscation (`open-sse/services/claudeCodeObfuscation.ts`) injects ZWJ into agent words — including the temp path inside the Bash tool description — and Claude models copy that verbatim into generated commands, which are delivered as tool-call arguments rather than assistant text. As a result the ZWJ survived and corrupted code blocks (e.g. a temp path rendered with an invisible joiner). Now `open-sse/handlers/responseSanitizer.ts` strips zero-width code points from tool-call argument strings at every emit site (OpenAI non-stream/stream chat `tool_calls` + legacy `function_call`, native Responses `function_call` items, the OpenAI→Responses conversion, and the native Responses streaming `response.function_call_arguments.delta/.done` events). Only zero-width code points are removed; JSON structure and all other bytes stay identical (no parse/restringify), so normal arguments remain byte-exact. Regression guard: 6 new cases in `tests/unit/response-sanitizer.test.ts` (suite 50/50).
+
+- **fix(nodejs):** the default app log path now resolves under `DATA_DIR` (`~/.omniroute/logs/application/app.log`) instead of `process.cwd()` ([#6197](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6197)) — the globally-installed CLI runs from an arbitrary working directory, so anchoring the default to cwd made file logging silently write to (or no-op under) an unrelated directory, contradicting the documented `.env.example` default. `getAppLogFilePath()` now computes the default lazily via the pure `resolveDataDir()` resolver (honours a per-process `DATA_DIR`, no directory-creation side effect); an explicit `APP_LOG_FILE_PATH` still wins. Regression guard: `tests/unit/logenv-datadir-path-6197.test.ts` (3). (root cause independently diagnosed by @subhansh-dev in [#6298](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6298) — thanks!)
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge/`startMitm` no longer aborts in containers/headless when the Antigravity-default DNS step can't write `/etc/hosts` ([#6127](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6127)), and the privileged command's stderr now reaches `app.log` instead of only a bare exit code hitting the toast ([#6198](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6198)). The default DNS step (`addDNSEntry`) was called unguarded while cert install and the two sibling DNS steps were each best-effort — in the runtime Docker image (`USER node`, no `sudo`, read-only `/etc/hosts`) it threw `Command failed with code 1` out of `startMitmInternal` and killed the whole start, discarding the stderr. The three DNS steps are extracted into a best-effort `provisionDnsEntries()` where each failure is logged with the full `err` (stderr included, folded in by `systemCommands.ts`) and never aborts the start. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-dns-graceful-degrade-6127.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** copilot-m365-web now supports the M365 Education "Starter / OfficeWebIncludedCopilot" tier and no longer returns an empty `content:null` stream ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)). Two gaps: (1) `buildWsUrl()` hardcoded the individual-consumer scenario (`OfficeWebPaidConsumerCopilot`, `isEdu=false`) — the EDU tier is now opt-in via `providerSpecificData.tier="edu"`, emitting `scenario=OfficeWebIncludedCopilot`/`isEdu=true` (the individual path is unchanged); (2) the EDU/GPT-5.5 path streams deltas via `arguments[0].writeAtCursor` (incremental) instead of only `messages[].text` (accumulated snapshots), which the parser dropped — a new `accumulateBotContent()` folds both formats, with `type:2 item.result.message` as a last-resort fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-edu-writeatcursor-6210.test.ts` (10). (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo executor now feeds tool results back into the prompt instead of looping ([#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)) — `buildPrompt()` branched only on `system`/`user` and took `userParts.at(-1)`, silently dropping the `assistant{tool_calls}` + `tool{result}` turns the client appended, so the reconstructed prompt was byte-identical to turn 1 and the model re-emitted the same `<tool>` call forever. When a tool exchange is present the full conversation is now serialized, folding each tool result back keyed by its `tool_call_id`; simple conversations keep the legacy shape. Complements the tool_call emission from [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051) (the `kilo-duplicate` label was a false positive — different, sequential defect). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-result-feedback-6220.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** opencode-go/opencode-zen can now synthesize the OpenCode CLI identity headers Cloudflare requires on VPS egress ([#5997](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5997)) — on a datacenter VPS, `opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/chat/completions` 403s (HTML challenge) requests lacking CLI identity, while the reporter's control curl proved that `User-Agent: opencode-cli/1.0.0` + `x-opencode-client: cli` + `x-opencode-project: default` + fresh request/session UUIDs succeed. Opt-in via `OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS=true` (values overridable via `OPENCODE_GO_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_CLIENT`/`OPENCODE_PROJECT`); it fills only headers the client did not already send. Kept **off by default** — the forward-only path is deliberate (fabricating a wrong value risks upstream rejection; a prior dedup regressed with `opencode/local`), so this replaces the fragile local header-injection shim without changing default behavior. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-cli-headers-synthesis-5997.test.ts` (6). (thanks @aleksesipenko)
+- fix(resilience): sticky session affinity now evicts and fails over to another account when the pinned account is exhausted/unavailable (#6219)
+
+- fix(sse): Responses API passthrough now drops internal commentary-phase output before forwarding to clients (gated by RESPONSES_PASSTHROUGH_DROP_COMMENTARY, default on) (#6199)
+
+- **fix(proxy):** stop the v3.8.44 proxy regression that leaked the real IP and disabled healthy proxies ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Two coupled defects from the new health scheduler: (1) **IP leak** — when a proxy assigned to a connection was marked `inactive`, resolution fell through to a **direct** egress instead of blocking, exposing the operator's real IP; (2) **over-deactivation** — the sweep flipped a proxy to `inactive` on the **first** failed probe and counted our own 5s timeout / a probe-target `5xx` as the proxy's fault, so healthy paid proxies vanished from egress selection ("my proxies are not being used anymore"). Fix: the sweep decision is extracted into a pure, network-free `decideProxyHealthAction` (`src/lib/proxyHealth/decision.ts`) — by default the health check now **only counts/logs and never downgrades status** (a proxy is downgraded/removed only with `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE=true`, after `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE_AFTER` **consecutive** conclusive failures); probes are classified tri-state so an inconclusive result (our timeout, or a `5xx` from the probe target) never penalizes the proxy, and the probe timeout is raised 5s→15s. Separately, `safeResolveProxy` now **fails closed** via the existing policy: a connection whose assigned proxy is dead is blocked instead of leaking direct (`hasBlockingProxyAssignment`), honoring the explicit `proxy off` toggles and the `PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true` opt-out. Existing proxies stuck `inactive` by the old behavior need a one-time manual re-activate (the operator owns proxy status). Regression guards: `tests/unit/proxy-health-decide-action-6246.test.ts`, `tests/unit/proxy-assigned-unavailable-6246.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(proxy):** make "Test All" read-only and add bulk enable/disable ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Complements the core fail-closed / scheduler fix (#6296) with the two remaining reporter asks. (1) The **"Test All" button** (`POST /api/settings/proxies/auto-test`) used to flip a proxy to `inactive` on a failed reachability probe; since the egress selector excludes `inactive` proxies, a flaky probe (an unreachable `httpbin.org`, a proxy that blocks `HEAD`, or a slow paid proxy) silently disabled every proxy that failed — "Test All" is now **read-only by default** (only the operator sets a proxy active/inactive; opt back into the legacy test-and-set with `PROXY_HEALTH_AUTO_DEACTIVATE=true`). (2) Adds a **bulk enable/disable** proxies endpoint + toolbar action (`POST /api/settings/proxies/batch-activate`) so an operator can re-activate proxies in one click. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-health-6246.test.ts`. (thanks @tenshiak)
+
+- **chatcore (tools): stop the default 128-tool cap from silently dropping opencode's `task`/MCP tools.** opencode (used as an MCP/agent host) sends a large tool list; when it exceeds the speculative `MAX_TOOLS_LIMIT` (128) default, `truncateToolList` did a blind `tools.slice(0, 128)`, dropping every tool past index 128 — including opencode's built-in `task` tool (subagent launch) and many MCP tools, so models routed through OmniRoute could no longer spawn subagents or reach part of their tools. The cap exists to avoid upstream `400`s for providers with real hard limits (e.g. grok-cli 200), so it is kept for those: detection of the opencode client (`isOpencodeClient` — any `x-opencode-*` header, or `opencode` in the user-agent) now only bypasses the **speculative 128 default**, never a known provider ceiling. Precedence is explicit — a proactive/detected provider limit always truncates (even for opencode); otherwise opencode forwards its full tool list; otherwise the unchanged 128 default applies to every other client. Refactors `getEffectiveToolLimit` into `getKnownToolLimit(provider) ?? DEFAULT_LIMIT` (byte-identical for existing callers) and fixes a cosmetic debug-log that reported the truncated count instead of the original. Regression guard: `tests/unit/tool-limit-detector.test.ts`. ([#6193](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6193) — thanks @DKotsyuba)
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the macOS MITM-cert install check now matches the system keychain again. `security find-certificate -a -Z` prints the SHA-1 as a colon-less hex string, but the installed-check compared it against `getCertFingerprint()`'s colon-separated form, so the substring match never hit — the cert was reported as not-installed and re-prompted for the sudo install on every run. Fingerprints are now normalized (colons stripped, upper-cased) on both sides via the extracted `macCertOutputHasFingerprint` helper. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-cert-mac-fingerprint.test.ts`. ([#6204](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6204), closes [#6134](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6134) — thanks @rianonehub)
+
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/messages/count_tokens` now counts `tool_use`, `tool_result` and `thinking` content blocks (and array-form `system` prompts) in the local-estimation path, instead of only `text`. Real agentic conversations keep ~95% of their tokens inside tool results; the previous estimate returned near-zero for them, which silently broke Claude Code's auto-compaction (context grew past the window with no compaction until the upstream API rejected the request). The real provider-side count path is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/messages-count-tokens-route.test.ts`. ([#6221](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6221) — thanks @luweiCN)
+
+- **fix(antigravity):** strip a trailing assistant prefill turn for Vertex Claude models to avoid upstream 400s ([#6114](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6114)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-claude-prefill-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(security):** the mutable cloud-agent routes (`/api/cloud/credentials/update`, `/api/cloud/models/alias`) now require management auth instead of being treated as public. They were classified as public API routes, so a request without management credentials could update stored cloud-agent credentials and model aliases. They are removed from the public-route set, classified as management routes in the authz pipeline, and gated by `requireManagementAuth`; cloud **read**/auth routes stay public. Regression guards: `tests/unit/cloud-write-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts`, `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6233](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6233) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+
+- **refactor(dashboard):** extract the onboarding-wizard "Open provider details" link target into a pure, unit-tested `buildProviderDetailsHref(connection)` helper. The wizard already routes by `connection.id` (the node UUID) rather than the provider category slug (#6144/#6145); this hardens that behavior behind a tested helper that guards a missing id/connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-onboarding-href.test.ts`. ([#6166](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6166) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(api):** relay worker now binds the SSRF guard to a stable `const` name so minified standalone (Docker) builds resolve it ([#6149](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6149)) — the Vercel/Deno relay generators embedded the shared `resolveRelayTarget` guard as a bare `${fn.toString()}` declaration while the worker body called the hardcoded literal name; SWC minification mangled the source function's name, so the deployed worker defined `<mangled>` but still called `resolveRelayTarget` → `ReferenceError`. Both templates now emit `const resolveRelayTarget = ${fn.toString()};` (the const name is a template literal, immune to minification). Regression guard: `tests/unit/relay-minified-fn-6149.test.ts` (4). (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **fix(providers):** refresh the stale NVIDIA NIM model registry — drop EOL `z-ai/glm-5.1`, add `z-ai/glm-5.2` and `nvidia/nemotron-3-ultra-550b-a55b` ([#6108](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6108)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-nim-registry-6108.test.ts`. (thanks @andrea-kingautomation)
+- **fix(backend):** GPT-family (codex) models now report a distinct `max_input_tokens` (272000) below their 400K `context_length` via an optional `maxInputTokens` on `RegistryModel`, so coding agents auto-compact correctly instead of overflowing the real input cap ([#6191](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6191)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gpt-max-input-tokens-6191.test.ts`. (thanks @luweiCN)
+- **fix(backend):** call logs now record a **reasoning source/char-count** (migration 116, `reasoning_source`/`reasoning_chars`) for models that emit `reasoning_content`/`<think>` but report zero reasoning tokens in usage, so `tokens_reasoning` no longer silently under-represents reasoning — cost math is unchanged (the priced `tokens_reasoning` stays usage-derived) ([#6187](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6187)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/reasoning-token-source-6187.test.ts`. (thanks @andrea-kingautomation)
+- **fix(auth):** a stale/changed `STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY` now surfaces as a clear **424 `storage_encryption_stale`** ("re-enter the API key") instead of a misleading "Auth failed: 401" — the connection's ciphertext failed to decrypt and was coerced to an empty Bearer, hiding the real cause ([#6148](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6148)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/decrypt-stale-key-hint-6148.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(backend):** memory injection now keeps the injected system message **first** for providers that require it (via a `PROVIDERS_SYSTEM_MUST_BE_FIRST` capability), instead of the cache-safe mid-array splice that made strict providers reject the request with a 400 ([#6135](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6135)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/memory-system-first-6135.test.ts`.
+- **fix(services):** 9Router embed panel no longer 404s (optional catch-all route) and the supervisor probes the port before spawning to avoid raw EADDRINUSE ([#6205](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6205)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/ninerouter-embed-port-6205.test.ts`, `tests/unit/services/ServiceSupervisor.test.ts`. (thanks @jonlwheat2-gif)
+- fix(mcp): forward the MCP request `extra` context through static tool loops so stdio callers keep their scope/identity ([#6178](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6178))
+
+### ⚡ Performance & Infrastructure
+
+- **perf(test):** test-suite loader quick wins ([#6214](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6214)) — the 19 test scripts switch `--import tsx` → `--import tsx/esm` (the repo is pure ESM; the unused CJS hook cost ~1.3s per test process × 2,462 processes — CI fast-path unit shards dropped 14.8→7.5 min, −49%), tsx bumped to ^4.23.0 (tsx#809 startup-regression fix), **37 orphan `.test.mjs` files (224 cases) recovered** into the canonical glob (they matched no runner and never ran in any CI job; `check:test-discovery` now scans `.mjs` too), and ci.yml/quality.yml unit jobs now call the canonical npm script `test:unit:ci:shard` (single source of truth — closes two silent drifts: missing `setupPolyfill` import in CI and `memory/`+`usage/` dirs absent from the fast-path glob). `tests/unit/dashboard/**` keeps the full tsx hook in its own invocation (`@lobehub/icons` es/ build internally `require()`s ESM-syntax files).
+- **ci:** heavy-pipeline dedup ([#6215](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6215)) — the release-PR pipeline ran the unit suite 4× per sync (95 jobs, 208 machine-min; the v3.8.44 cycle fired 123 such runs, 88 cancelled). Now: Node 24/26 compat matrices move to a daily `nightly-compat.yml` (−28%/run; resolves the active release branch, opens a tracking issue on failure), coverage is collected inside the unit shards themselves via c8/`NODE_V8_COVERAGE` (−18%/run; the Coverage Shard ×8 matrix is gone — nodejs/node's own CI pattern), the ~40-job per-language i18n matrix becomes 1 job (the account has 20 concurrent-job slots total), and heavy jobs skip **draft** PRs — paired with `/generate-release` now opening the living release PR as draft (flipped ready at the new Phase 0a.0a), killing the per-merge churn for the whole cycle. Validated by a full `workflow_dispatch` of the new pipeline: 35 jobs, 0 failures, 23 min, merged coverage 80.16% (> ratchet baseline).
+- **feat(quality):** no-new-warnings per PR ([#6218](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6218)) — native ESLint bulk suppressions (≥9.24) freeze the pre-existing debt (476 files / 4,273 violations in `config/quality/eslint-suppressions.json`); `npm run lint`, lint-staged (pre-commit) and a new fork-aware `lint-guard` job in quality.yml all run suppressions-aware, so a NEW warning goes red in the PR that introduces it instead of accruing invisibly (+41/+88 per cycle) and being blind-rebaselined at release. 3 warn rules promoted to error in `src/**` (`react-hooks/exhaustive-deps`, `@next/next/no-img-element`, `import/no-anonymous-default-export`); `collect-metrics` measures under the frozen baseline (ratchet metric = net-NEW debt; baseline tightened 4,279→0 in-PR per require-tighten); fork PRs run report-only (contributors are never blocked — the maintainer campaigns fix via co-authorship). Baseline stock shrinks via `--prune-suppressions` at release reconciliation.
+- **ci:** test jobs no longer wait on the Build gate ([#6275](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6275)) — `test-unit`×8, `vitest`, `integration`×2 and `security` declared `needs: build` but never download the `next-build` artifact; they now start at minute 0 (`needs: changes`, same `if` as Build), cutting ~15–20 min of wall-clock per heavy run. `e2e`/`package-artifact`/`electron-smoke` keep `needs: build` (they consume the artifact for real).
+- **ci(build):** the ci.yml Build job compiles Next.js with **Turbopack** (`OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=1`) ([#6273](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6273)) — Build job 20 min → **6 min 59 s (~2.9×)** on ubuntu-latest; the webpack `actions/cache` step is removed. Validated end-to-end pre-merge via `gh workflow run ci.yml --ref <branch>`.
+- **feat(build):** **Turbopack becomes the default bundler** for `next build` and `next dev` ([#6283](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6283)) — `build-next-isolated.mjs`, `run-next.mjs` and the playwright-runner default to Turbopack; `OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=0` is the explicit webpack escape hatch. `nightly-compat.yml`/`npm-publish.yml` inherit the default. Regression guard: `tests/unit/build-bundler-default-turbopack.test.ts`.
+- **feat(docker):** the Docker image builds with Turbopack (`ENV OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=1`) ([#6285](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6285)) — the v3.8.27 ImportTracer panic ("unreachable: there must be a path to a root") does **not** reproduce on Next 16.2.9: amd64 (659 s) and arm64 (qemu) build clean, 0 panics, smoke health 200.
+- **ci:** opt-in **self-hosted VPS runners for the release window** ([#6284](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6284)) — `scripts/vps/release-runner-up.sh`/`down.sh` manage the runner VM, and `build`/`test-unit`/`vitest` pick a dynamic `runs-on` gated by `vars.USE_VPS_RUNNER == 'true'` **and** own-origin (fork PRs never reach self-hosted runners). Wired into `/generate-release` (VM up at Phase 1, mandatory down at Phase 3).
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **quality(release-green):** full pre-flight hardening for this release — the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors typed/fixed and `validate-release-green` made suppressions-aware with per-gate logs (`_artifacts/release-green/`) and a `--hermetic` mode; test-masking allowlist entries for the cycle's verified-legitimate assert reductions; stale ESLint suppressions pruned (4,273 → 4,233); the 7 net-new `as any` casts from #6292 typed; `githubSkillTools` MCP errors routed through `sanitizeErrorMessage()`; `combo-provider-cooldown-sibling` added to the Stryker tap set; executors/env docs count fixes.
+- **ci(quality):** merge-integrity fast-gates per PR — `check:changelog-integrity` (no base CHANGELOG bullet may vanish in the merge result — the auto-resolve "CHANGELOG-eat" pattern) and `check:agent-skills-sync` (generated SKILL.md ≡ catalog), blocking for own-origin branches and report-only for forks (Princípio Zero). ([#6300](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6300))
+- **ci(vps):** hermetic `nightly-release-green` pre-flight on the dedicated `omni-release` self-hosted runner (dynamic `runs-on`, clean env); e2e/integration/electron stay on hosted runners (per-VM port collision + concurrent artifact-download limits documented in the PR). ([#6305](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6305))
+- **chore(quality):** v3.8.45 cycle-close drift rebaselines — file-size (13 files grown by merged cycle PRs), cognitive 867→877, cyclomatic 2028→2035, kiro-translator test debt from #6213; all with dated justification keys.
+- **docs(architecture):** sync stale DB-layer counts (45+/55 → 95+/110+) in REPOSITORY_MAP, the db-schema diagram and llm.txt (+42 i18n mirrors). ([#6167](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6167))
+- **chore(release):** parallel-cycle flow — `sync-next-cycle.mjs` + Hard Rule #21 semantics ([#6203](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6203)); v3.8.45 development cycle opened.
+- **i18n(it):** add 118 missing Italian (`it`) translations (net-additive — no existing keys dropped, valid JSON), improving Italian UI coverage. ([#6212](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6212) — thanks @serverless83)
+- **chore(providers):** remove deprecated **MiMo V2** model entries from the catalogs (xiaomi-mimo, opencode-go, zenmux-free, audio TTS) — the upstream V2 line is superseded by MiMo V2.5; drops `mimo-v2-tts`, `mimo-v2-pro`, `mimo-v2-omni`, `mimo-v2-flash`, `mimo-v2-flash-free` and realigns the provider-catalog tests. ([#6248](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6248) — thanks @backryun)

+## [3.8.44] — TBD
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(resilience):** throttle upstream quota fetches on the per-request preflight path ([#6009](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6009)) — a new global min-interval gate (`open-sse/services/quotaFetchThrottle.ts`) spaces the actual network calls made by the Codex quota fetcher so that many accounts on one IP no longer fetch quota in the same second (which, per `router-for-me/CLIProxyAPI#2385`, can get a Codex OAuth token revoked). Complements the existing bulk-sync spacing (`PROVIDER_LIMITS_SYNC_SPACING_MS`) which already serialized the periodic provider-limits sync — this covers the concurrent combo/preflight path it didn't. Cache hits are never delayed; fail-open (only ever awaits a timer). Configurable via `OMNIROUTE_QUOTA_FETCH_MIN_INTERVAL_MS` (default 250ms, clamped 0..5000; `0` disables). Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-fetch-throttle-6009.test.ts` (5). (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(autoCombo):** add **per-request Auto-Combo controls** via two headers ([#6024](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6024) / [#6025](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6025) / [#6023](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6023)) — `X-OmniRoute-Mode` steers an `auto` combo's scoring for a single request (friendly presets `fast`/`balanced`/`quality`/`cheap`/`reliable`/`offline` **or** a raw mode-pack name; `balanced` forces the default weights), and `X-OmniRoute-Budget` sets a hard per-request USD cost ceiling. Both override the combo's stored config only for the request that carries them; unknown/garbage values are ignored so the saved config is preserved. The resolvers are pure (`open-sse/services/autoCombo/requestControls.ts`) and feed the engine's existing `config.modePack` / `config.budgetCap` inputs — no engine changes. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auto-combo-request-controls-6024.test.ts` (5). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add the **Kenari** OpenAI-compatible gateway (BYOK). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kenari.test.ts`. (thanks @doedja)
+- **feat(models):** add `claude-sonnet-5` to the Antigravity model catalog (alias mapping in `antigravityModelAliases.ts`) ([#6103](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6103)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-model-aliases.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+- **feat(api):** add `/v1/ocr` endpoint (Mistral OCR), an OCR provider category, and Mistral moderation support. ([#5950](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5950)) (thanks @waguriagentic)
+- **Discovery tool (Phase 2):** add the `discoveryResults` DB module (CRUD over the `discovery_results` table, migration 074) and wire the opt-in provider-discovery service to persist and read findings through it (`persistDiscoveryResult`, `getDiscoveryResults`, `getDiscoveryResultById`, `markVerified`, `deleteDiscoveryResult`) with `(provider, method, endpoint)` upsert de-duplication. Adds the `/api/discovery/*` HTTP surface — `GET /results`, `GET|DELETE /results/:id`, `POST /scan`, `POST /verify/:id` — under **strict loopback-only** authorization (`/api/discovery/` is in `LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` and is NOT manage-scope-bypassable, so the `scan` route's outbound probes can never be reached from a tunnel/remote origin). Adds a **dashboard UI tab** (Tools → Discovery, `/dashboard/discovery`) to run scans and review, verify, or delete findings. The service stays **opt-in / default-off**. ([#5939](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5939))
+- **feat(api):** expose a read-only provider plugin manifest at `GET /api/v1/provider-plugin-manifest` for sidecar/relay discovery. ([#6001](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6001)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(sidecar):** advertise the provider manifest URL to Bifrost/CLIProxyAPI via the `X-OmniRoute-Provider-Manifest-Url` header (`OMNIROUTE_PROVIDER_MANIFEST_URL`). ([#6007](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6007)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(autoCombo):** add a latency/speed-optimized routing mode (shared `rankBySpeed` scoring core) plus the `omniroute_pick_fastest_model` MCP tool. ([#6011](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6011)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(providers):** refresh The Old LLM (Free) model catalog ([#5181](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5181)) — seed the current free `/api/chatgpt` tier (GPT-5/5.1/5.2/5.3/5.4, o3/o4-mini, Gemini 3 Pro / 2.5 Pro / 2.0 Flash / 1.5 Flash, Claude 4.6 Opus/Sonnet & 4.5 Haiku, GPT-4o, Grok 4, DeepSeek V3/R1, Sonar Pro) while keeping the legacy alias IDs for saved-preference compatibility. Also fixes a latent routing bug: `mapModel()` now passes known upstream IDs through unchanged, so Gemini/o-series/Grok/DeepSeek/Sonar models no longer silently collapse onto `GPT_5_4`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/theoldllm-model-refresh-5181.test.ts`. (thanks @WslzGmzs)
+- **feat(resilience):** surface Codex **banked reset credits** per connected account ([#5199](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5199)) — the Codex quota parsers (`buildCodexUsageQuotas`, `parseCodexUsageResponse`) now additively read `rate_limit_reset_credits.available_count` (+ optional `rate_limit_reached_type`) from the `/wham/usage` payload OmniRoute already fetches, and the provider-limits dashboard renders a **"Banked Reset Credits"** row when a positive count is present. Display-only and **fail-open** — the field is eligibility-gated, so accounts without it are unaffected (parsers never throw on absent/garbage shapes); redemption (an unofficial mutating endpoint) is intentionally out of scope. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-banked-reset-credits-5199.test.ts` (8). (thanks @ofekbetzalel)
+- **feat(providers):** add sign-up geo-restriction notices for **SenseNova** and **StepFun** ([#5462](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5462)) — the provider add-form now warns that SenseNova's console appears to require a Chinese (+86) phone number with no documented international path, and that StepFun's default endpoint is its China platform while a global StepFun Open Platform (`platform.stepfun.ai`, operated by Sparkling AI Pte. Ltd., Singapore) with email/Google/Discord login exists for international users. Informational `notice` only — neither provider is disabled. Regression guard: `tests/unit/regional-provider-cn-notices-5462.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(usage):** add on-demand period-scoped usage-data reset (Settings → System Storage) with a purge API and time-window selector. ([#5831](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5831))
+- **feat(claude-code):** add an opt-in auto-permission classifier compat mode (off/auto/always) for Claude Code, toggleable from the CLI Code settings. ([#5810](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5810))
+- **feat(providers):** add optional client-identity header profiles for compatible nodes — preset User-Agent/fingerprint headers (e.g. matching a known CLI) merged into the existing customHeaders field. ([#5812](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5812))
+- **feat(build):** add a backend-only fast build mode (`scripts/build/build-next-isolated.mjs` + `backendOnlyPages.mjs`) that skips compiling the dashboard frontend pages, cutting local/CI build time for backend-only changes. ([#6119](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6119) — thanks @artickc)
+- **feat(minimax):** extract MiniMax M3's raw `<think>...</think>` leakage into `reasoning_content` on the 8 OpenAI-format provider tiers, leaving the Claude-format `minimax`/`minimax-cn` tiers untouched (they already report reasoning correctly). ([#6073](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6073) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(services):** promote **Bifrost** (`@maximhq/bifrost` — Go AI-gateway) from an env-only relay sidecar to a first-class embedded/supervised service, matching the existing cliproxy/9router model — installer, bootstrap `SERVICES[]` entry, migration 113 DB seed, 7 lifecycle API routes under `/api/services/bifrost/` (loopback-only), a dashboard tab, and relay auto-wiring that defaults `BIFROST_BASE_URL` to the supervised port when running. Implements item #2 of #5670; the broader RouterBackend contract (items #1, #3-#5) stays out of scope. ([#5817](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5817), part of [#5670](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5670))
+- **feat(services):** add **Mux** (`coder/mux` — local agent-orchestration daemon) as a fourth-tier embedded service on the existing `ServiceSupervisor` framework — npm-based installer, `bootstrap.ts` registration, migration 113 DB seed, 7 lifecycle API routes under `/api/services/mux/` (loopback-only, defense-in-depth bind to 127.0.0.1), and a dashboard tab reusing the shared service-management components. ([#6034](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6034))
+- **feat(xai):** surface Grok/xAI usage on the quota dashboard via local `usageHistory` aggregation (`getXaiUsage`) — since xAI exposes no per-account quota API, this sums tokens routed to the connection from `usage_history` and reports them as a cumulative, uncapped quota, mirroring the existing Xiaomi MiMo self-track pattern. ([#5806](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5806))
+- **feat(minimax):** extract MiniMax M3's raw `<think>...</think>` tags into a separate `reasoning_content` field on the 8 provider tiers that register M3 with `format:"openai"` (trae, huggingchat, bazaarlink, ollama-cloud, opencode, cline, opencode-zen, codebuddy-cn) — previously the thinking text leaked directly into `content`. Reuses the existing `extractThinkingFromContent` primitive, extending its allowlist with a minimax-m3-only pattern; the two direct minimax/minimax-cn tiers are untouched since they already surface reasoning natively over Anthropic's Messages format. (Inspired by 9router#2231.) ([#6050](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6050) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(i18n):** auto-detect the browser language on first visit — a pure `detectBrowserLocale()` matcher (exact match, `zh-HK`/`zh-MO` folded to `zh-TW`, language-prefix match, else `null`) plus a client-only `LocaleAutoDetect` component mounted once in the root layout. When no locale cookie is set yet, it reads `navigator.languages`, computes a match against the supported locales, and persists it via the same cookie/localStorage writer `LanguageSelector` already used (extracted to `shared/lib/persistLocale.ts`). (Inspired by 9router#1324.) ([#5979](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5979))
+- **feat(cli-tools):** add **CodeWhale** — the actively-maintained successor to DeepSeek TUI (same author, renamed project) — as a dual dashboard entry alongside the existing "deepseek-tui" catalog entry, so existing DeepSeek TUI users keep a working card while new users are steered to CodeWhale. New `/api/cli-tools/codewhale-settings` route writes `~/.codewhale/config.toml` and keeps the legacy `~/.deepseek/config.toml` in sync. (Inspired by 9router#1761.) ([#5996](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5996))
+- **feat(server):** support reverse-proxy `basePath` deployment via a new opt-in `OMNIROUTE_BASE_PATH` env var (empty by default), using Next.js's native `basePath` support so a deployment behind a reverse-proxy subpath (e.g. `https://host/omniroute/`) works without manual header stripping; the two hardcoded auth-redirect targets in `src/server/authz/pipeline.ts` now prefix with `request.nextUrl.basePath`. Default empty basePath is a no-op for existing root-path deployments. (Inspired by 9router#1810.) ([#5992](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5992))
+- **feat(providers):** add **SumoPod** (`ai.sumopod.com`) and **X5Lab** (`api.x5lab.dev`) OpenAI-compatible BYOK aggregator gateways, wired via the default executor with bearer API-key auth; both use `passthroughModels` with a live `/v1/models` fetcher instead of a hardcoded catalog. Regression guard: `tests/unit/sumopod-x5lab-provider.test.ts`. (Inspired by 9router#1288.) ([#5963](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5963))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Charm Hyper** (`hyper.charm.land`) as a new OpenAI-compatible, bearer-auth API-key gateway provider with a free tier (100 monthly Hypercredits); models resolve via passthrough (`modelsUrl` + live `/v1/models`) since the catalog isn't publicly documented. (Inspired by 9router#2006.) ([#5961](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5961))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Nube.sh** (`ai.nube.sh`) as a new BYOK OpenAI-compatible gateway (LiteLLM proxy), Bearer/API-key auth. Its live model catalog is only reachable with a valid key, so no model IDs are hardcoded — it uses `passthroughModels` + `modelsUrl` for live enumeration. (Inspired by 9router#2294.) ([#5936](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5936) — thanks @whale9820)
+- **feat(providers):** add **b.ai** (`api.b.ai`) as a new OpenAI-compatible BYOK provider, distinct from the existing thebai/theb.ai provider, using passthrough model discovery with no hardcoded model list. (Inspired by 9router#963.) ([#5969](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5969))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Qiniu** (七牛云) AI inference gateway as a BYOK API-key provider — proxies many upstream models (DeepSeek V3/V4, Claude, Kimi, and more) behind a single key, shipping with an empty static seed and relying on `passthroughModels` + the live `/v1/models` catalog instead of a stale hardcoded model id. Regression guard: `tests/unit/qiniu-provider.test.ts`. (Inspired by 9router#911.) ([#5966](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5966))
+- **feat(providers):** port **ModelScope** (Alibaba 魔搭) as a new API-key, OpenAI-compatible provider — verified against ModelScope's own docs that the real production domain is `api-inference.modelscope.cn` (`.cn`, not the upstream PR's `.ai`) and shipped `passthroughModels: true` with an empty seed + `modelsUrl` instead of the upstream PR's static 5-model snapshot, since the open-model catalog moves fast. (Ported from 9router#1764.) ([#5965](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5965) — thanks @tn5052)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Augment (Auggie CLI)** as a new local, no-auth provider that spawns the user's local `auggie` CLI and pipes a flattened prompt via stdin, wrapping stdout as an OpenAI-compatible SSE stream or single JSON body. Auth is delegated to `auggie login` outside OmniRoute (synthetic `noAuth: true` connection, no DB row required); "Test Connection" spawns `auggie --version`. Hardened against the untrusted-input spawn sink: no `shell: true` on Windows (argv passed straight to the OS loader, no metacharacter interpretation), and `model` is validated against the registry allowlist before spawn (rejecting unknown or `-`-prefixed values) with a trailing `--` end-of-options marker. (Inspired by 9router#1200.) ([#5972](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5972) — thanks @chamdanilukman)
+- **feat(providers):** add **NVIDIA NIM image generation** — a dedicated `nvidia-nim` image format/handler (separate host, `ai.api.nvidia.com/v1/genai/<model>`, native NIM body shape) for the 4 FLUX models (flux.1-dev, flux.1-schnell, flux.1-kontext-dev, flux.2-klein-4b), shaping each model's per-model request body (dimension/mode validation, required input image + aspect ratio, optional edit image) and normalizing the NIM response's varying shapes into the OpenAI `{created, data}` shape. (Inspired by 9router#1195.) ([#5971](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5971))
+- **feat(oauth):** import a Codex connection from a raw ChatGPT access token — OmniRoute's only Codex import path previously required both `access_token` and `refresh_token`, leaving no path for a user with only a bare ChatGPT website access token. `createProviderConnection` gains an explicit `access_token` auth-type branch (intentionally never deduped), a new `POST /api/oauth/codex/import-token` route (Zod-validated), and `OAuthModal`'s manual-paste path now detects an `eyJ`-prefixed pasted token and posts it to the new endpoint, mirroring the existing grok-cli raw-token flow. The executor's `refreshCredentials()` already degrades safely to `null` without a refresh token, forcing re-auth on expiry. (Inspired by 9router#1290.) ([#5995](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5995) — thanks @ryanngit)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add a tool-source diagnostics settings toggle — a new Settings → Advanced card lets operators flip the existing `logToolSources` flag from the UI instead of editing the DB row directly; `logToolSources` is added to the `.strict()` `/api/settings` Zod PATCH schema (previously rejected). (Inspired by 9router#1825.) ([#5978](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5978) — thanks @DuyPrX)
+- **feat(dashboard):** collapse and sort provider quota rows by remaining percentage — the expanded quota list is sorted highest-remaining-first and collapsed to the first 3 rows by default, with a "Show N more"/"Show less" toggle when a connection reports more than 3 quotas, keeping at-risk quotas visible above a long list of healthy ones. Sort/slice logic extracted into pure, directly-unit-tested helpers (`sortQuotasByRemaining`, `getVisibleQuotas`). (Inspired by 9router#1919.) ([#5977](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5977))
+- **feat(dashboard):** suggest HuggingFace Hub media models — a new `GET /api/v1/providers/suggested-models` route proxies the public HF Hub models search API (Zod-validated, no token exposed client-side) and `ImageExampleCard` merges the results into the model picker as a selectable chip row for the huggingface provider; also adds a dedicated `huggingface-image` format/handler for HF's raw-image-bytes response. (Inspired by 9router#1633.) ([#5990](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5990))
+- **feat(cli-tools):** add a **Crush** entry to the dashboard CLI-Tools catalog plus a new `/api/cli-tools/crush-settings` route (GET/POST/DELETE) — OmniRoute already shipped a `crush` CLI setup command (`bin/cli/commands/setup-crush.mjs`) but the dashboard catalog had no matching entry; the new route writes to the same canonical `~/.config/crush/crush.json` path so the dashboard and CLI command agree. (Inspired by 9router#1233.) ([#5970](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5970))
+- **feat(providers):** extend Vercel AI Gateway (`vercel-ai-gateway`/`vag`) beyond chat-only to support **embeddings and image generation** — the gateway's OpenAI-compatible `/v1` API also exposes `/embeddings` and `/images/generations`, so entries were added to `EMBEDDING_PROVIDERS` (`embeddingRegistry.ts`) and `IMAGE_PROVIDERS` (`imageRegistry.ts`) modeled on the existing `openai` entries. ([#5968](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5968) — thanks @tantai-newnol)
+- **feat(api-keys):** add per-key **device/connection tracking** — a SHA-256 fingerprint of IP + User-Agent, with a 30-minute TTL and per-key/global caps, tracks distinct client devices seen with each API key (in-memory only, raw IP never stored). A new `GET /api/keys/[id]/devices` route exposes masked device details, and the API Keys dashboard tab gets a "Devices" count badge alongside the existing Sessions badge. This is a new granularity distinct from the existing `maxSessions` cap, which limits concurrent sticky-routing sessions rather than tracking device identity. ([#5998](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5998) — thanks @mugni-rukita)
+- **feat(proxy):** add **Webshare** (`proxy.webshare.io`) as a fourth source in the free-proxy provider framework alongside 1proxy, Proxifly, and IPLocate. `WebshareProvider` paginates the account's `/api/v2/proxy/list/` endpoint, upserts proxies into the shared `free_proxies` table, and tombstones proxies the account no longer lists while never touching rows already promoted into the live proxy pool. Unlike the other sources, Webshare is a paid per-account list, gated on `FREE_PROXY_WEBSHARE_API_KEY`. ([#5993](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5993) — thanks @ricatix)
+- **feat(antigravity):** support custom **Google Cloud project ID** settings from the connection edit modal (Antigravity family). ([#5905](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5905) — thanks @nickwizard)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add a **wildcard-CORS runtime warning** banner (Settings → Authorization) when `CORS_ALLOW_ALL`/`*` origins are in effect, plus a new `docs/security/CORS.md` security guide covering the risk and safer alternatives. ([#5602](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5602), [#5759](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5759))
+- **feat(api):** add a `/v1/audio/translations` endpoint (Whisper-style audio translation), a new `audioTranslation` handler, and translation providers wired into `audioRegistry`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/audio-translations-route.test.ts` (8, incl. no-stack-leak). ([#5809](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5809))
+- **feat(providers):** allow a **custom icon URL** for compatible provider nodes (migration 113 + `nodes.ts` + Zod schema + API routes + catalog + `ProviderIcon` UI). Regression guards: 14 backend + 5 frontend(vitest) + 24 page-utils tests. ([#5815](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5815))
+- **feat(xai):** register a dedicated `XaiExecutor` with reasoning-effort suffix parsing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executors/xai-executor.test.ts` (6). ([#5800](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5800))
+- **feat(webfetch):** support **self-hosted FireCrawl** instances via `FIRECRAWL_BASE_URL`/`FIRECRAWL_TIMEOUT_MS`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executors/firecrawl-fetch.test.ts` (4). ([#5793](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5793))
+- **feat(providers):** add **ClinePass** as a first-class API-key (BYOK) provider — Cline's paid gateway (`cline-pass/*` models, plain Bearer key), distinct from the existing OAuth `cline` provider. Regression guard: 16 clinepass tests. ([#5942](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5942) — thanks @adentdk)
+- **feat(relay):** gate **Bifrost auto-routing** by the provider plugin manifest — only manifest-eligible providers reach the sidecar; ineligible/unknown providers fall back to the existing TS routing path with explicit reasons. Regression guards: 4 provider-plugin-manifest + 11 relay-routing-backend tests. ([#5870](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5870) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(providers):** wire **Claude Sonnet 5** end-to-end across the model pipeline — registries, `modelSpecs`, pricing (×3), cost, Sonnet-family fallback, 1M-context, and static models. ([#5833](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5833) — thanks @ggiak)
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **dashboard (`/dashboard/system/proxy` 500 on every render):** `ProxyRegistryManager` called `useProxyBatchOperations(load)` before the `const load = useCallback(...)` declaration in the component body, so every server render threw a TDZ `ReferenceError: Cannot access 'load' before initialization` and the whole proxy page 500'd (#5918 regression, caught by the release-PR e2e smoke — the PR→release fast-gates never render pages). The hook block now sits after the `load` declaration. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/ProxyRegistryManager-tdz-render.test.tsx` (SSR renderToString — the exact crash mode).
+
+- **server (TRACE/TRACK/CONNECT returned raw 500 on every route):** methods that undici/fetch cannot represent blew up inside Next's middleware adapter (`TypeError: 'TRACE' HTTP method is unsupported.`) as an unhandled 500 (caught by the release-PR dast-smoke Schemathesis negative tests on the new `/api/keys/{id}/devices` endpoint). The raw HTTP method guard now answers a clean 405 + `Allow` header for these methods on any path, before Next sees the request. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dast-method-not-allowed.test.ts` (new case).
+
+- **i18n (auto-detect refreshed every first visit):** `LocaleAutoDetect` (#5979) called `router.refresh()` on every cookie-less first visit — even when the detected browser locale was exactly the one the server had just rendered — re-navigating the page mid-interaction (flaky e2e "execution context destroyed" + a visible flash for every new visitor). It now refreshes only when the detected locale differs from the server-rendered `<html lang>`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/LocaleAutoDetect-refresh.test.tsx`.
+
+- **models (`oc/` alias must reach the no-auth OpenCode provider):** restore the [#2901](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/2901) routing contract after the #5918 transitive-alias change made the registered no-auth `opencode` provider unreachable by any prefix (`oc/` chained through the manual `opencode` → `opencode-zen` slug override and misrouted its combo entries). `resolveProviderAlias` now stops the alias chain as soon as a hop lands on a registered provider id, while keeping #5918's transitivity across alias-only hops and its loop/depth guards. Regression guards: `tests/unit/combo-builder-opencode-prefix.test.ts`, `tests/unit/provider-alias-transitive-5918.test.ts`.
+
+- **providers (Auggie executor EPIPE crash):** a fast-exiting `auggie` CLI (e.g. binary present but immediately failing) delivered `EPIPE` **asynchronously** as an `'error'` event on the child's stdin stream — which a plain try/catch around `stdin.write()` cannot catch — crashing the request instead of surfacing the sanitized CLI error. Both spawn sites now attach a stdin `'error'` handler so the child's own exit/close handlers report the failure. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auggie-executor.test.ts` (deterministic 3/3 locally).
+
+- **dashboard (CoolingConnectionsPanel broke `next build`):** the cooling-connections panel from #6061 imported `Card` from a shadcn-style path that does not exist in this repo (`@/components/ui/card`) and pulled the server DB barrel (`@/lib/localDb`) into a client component — `next build` failed to compile on the release branch. The panel now renders with repo-native markup and reads `formatResetCountdown` from the new client-safe `src/shared/utils/formatting.ts`. Regression guards: `tests/unit/format-reset-countdown.test.ts`, `tests/unit/ui/CoolingConnectionsPanel.test.tsx`. ([#6155](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6155))
+
+- **oauth (Zed "Unknown provider" crash):** adding **Zed** from the providers dashboard threw an unhandled `OAuth GET error: Unknown provider: zed` (500) ([#6041](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6041)). Zed is a **keychain-import-only** provider — it's listed in the OAuth catalog so the UI shows it, but has no OAuth handler, so the generic `/api/oauth/[provider]/[action]` route hit `getProvider("zed")` and crashed. The route now recognizes keychain-import-only providers and returns a clear **400** pointing users at the **Import** button (for both GET and POST OAuth actions), instead of a 500. Regression guard: `tests/unit/oauth-keychain-import-only-6041.test.ts`. (thanks @imblowsnow)
+
+- **fix(providers):** disable the unsupported `thinking` param for `minimax-m2.7` on NVIDIA NIM (the upstream rejects it) ([#6102](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6102)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-minimax-thinking-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(mitm):** add an in-process guard so concurrent MITM server starts no longer race — a second start while one is already in flight is short-circuited instead of double-binding the listener ([#6107](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6107)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-start-guard.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **translator (Responses → Chat Completions):** strip the Responses-API-only `truncation` field before forwarding a `/v1/responses` request to a non-OpenAI Chat Completions upstream ([#6109](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6109)). Strict upstreams (e.g. NVIDIA NIM) rejected it with HTTP 400 `Unsupported parameter(s): truncation`, breaking Codex-style clients routed to those providers. `client_metadata`, `background`, and `safety_identifier` were already stripped — `truncation` was the remaining gap. Regression guard: `tests/unit/responses-strip-truncation-2311.test.ts`. (thanks @TuanNguyen0708)
+
+- **combo (prefer known context capacity over unknown):** when a combo filters out at least one target for exceeding a _known_ context limit, the router now prefers the remaining known-compatible targets over targets whose context metadata is simply unknown, instead of letting unknown-metadata targets be the only survivors. If no known-compatible context target remains, context-only candidates fall back to the normal strategy order. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-context-window-filter.test.ts`. ([#6088](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6088) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+
+- **models (GLM-5.2 context normalization):** stop treating every hosted GLM-5.2 provider alias as the native 1M-context model. Native/bare GLM-5.2 and verified OpenCode / ZenMux routes keep their 1,000,000-token context, while hosted-provider aliases now respect the caps declared in their provider metadata instead of inheriting the native max. Regression guards: `tests/unit/model-capabilities-registry.test.ts`, `tests/unit/models-catalog-route.test.ts`. ([#6091](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6091) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+
+- **providers (Gemini Web):** refresh the Gemini Web cookie handling and model catalog so live Gemini Web sessions keep authenticating and routing to current models. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-web.test.ts`. ([#6095](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6095) — thanks @backryun)
+
+- **providers (Perplexity Web):** refresh the Perplexity Web model catalog to the current set (GPT-5.4/5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.0 / Opus 4.8, GLM-5.2, Kimi K2.6, Nemotron 3 Ultra) and update the internal mode / `model_preference` mappings and thinking variants so requests resolve to live upstream models. Regression guard: `tests/unit/perplexity-web.test.ts`. ([#6106](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6106) — thanks @backryun)
+
+- **dashboard ("Update now" → Internal Server Error):** clicking **Update now** on the dashboard home could crash the page with a blank "Internal Server Error" screen (`Minified React error #31`). The handler POSTs the loopback-only `/api/system/version` auto-update endpoint and, on a non-OK JSON response (e.g. a `403` when the dashboard is reached through a reverse proxy / non-loopback origin), passed the raw error envelope object `{ error: { code, message, correlation_id } }` straight to `notify.error()`, which rendered the object as a React child and threw #31. The update-error path now funnels the body through `extractApiErrorMessage()` (the same safe extractor added in #5340), so a readable string always reaches the toast. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/home-update-error-render-5991.test.ts`. ([#5991](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5991))
+- **fix(onboarding):** route the provider-details link in the onboarding wizard by the node's stable id instead of the composite provider slug, which could point at the wrong provider details page for multi-account/fingerprint nodes. Regression guard: `tests/unit/onboarding-wizard-details-link-6145.test.ts`. ([#6145](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6145) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(cli):** give `setup-claude` a fallback profile generator mirroring `setup-codex`, so profile generation no longer silently no-ops when the primary generator path is unavailable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli/setup-claude.test.ts` (new cases). ([#6138](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6138) — thanks @derhornspieler)
+- **fix(glm):** suppress a leaked `</think>` close marker in the GLM Anthropic transport, which was surfacing the raw reasoning-close tag in visible response content instead of being consumed as part of the thinking-block framing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/glm-think-close-marker-leak.test.ts`. ([#6133](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6133) — thanks @dhaern)
+- **fix(provider-limits):** close a TOCTOU race in quota-recovery clearing by moving the check-then-clear to a CAS (compare-and-swap) primitive in `src/lib/db/providers.ts`, so two concurrent recovery paths can no longer both observe stale state and double-clear/re-lock a connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-limits-recovery.test.ts`. ([#6139](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6139) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **fix(provider-limits):** clear transient rate-limit state (`rateLimitedUntil`, `lastError`, `backoffLevel`) as soon as quota recovers, instead of leaving stale rate-limit fields behind that could keep a now-healthy connection looking unavailable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-limits-recovery.test.ts`. ([#6128](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6128) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **combos (OpenCode/MiMo fingerprint accounts):** expand fingerprint-scoped OpenCode/MiMo accounts into their full per-fingerprint set in the combo builder, which previously showed only the first matching account entry and hid the rest from combo target selection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-builder-fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`. ([#6092](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6092), closes [#6087](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6087) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(auth):** persist quota-preflight account lockouts until the reset window elapses, instead of losing the lockout on process restart and letting a still-quota-exhausted account be selected again immediately. Regression guards: `tests/unit/sse-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/opencode-quota-fetcher.test.ts`, `tests/unit/usage-service-hardening.test.ts`. ([#6090](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6090) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+- **combo (fingerprint-based provider expansion):** expand fingerprint-based providers into per-fingerprint combo targets (`open-sse/services/combo/fingerprintExpansion.ts`) so a combo referencing a fingerprint-scoped provider fans out to every matching fingerprint account instead of collapsing onto one. Regression guards: `tests/unit/combo-fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`, `tests/integration/fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`. ([#6082](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6082) — thanks @pizzav-xyz)
+- **fix (safety-net redirect `reqId` crash):** fix a `reqId` `ReferenceError` thrown inside the safety-net combo redirect path in `src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, remove dead code in `src/domain/quotaCache.ts`, and rename the stray root `DESING.md` to `DESIGN.md`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chat-safetynet-reqid-6097.test.ts`. ([#6097](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6097) — thanks @fix2015)
+- **fix(compression):** send a patch-only body to `PUT /api/settings/compression` from `CompressionHub`, instead of round-tripping the full settings object and risking clobbering fields changed elsewhere between load and save. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/CompressionHub-patch-only.test.tsx`. ([#6077](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6077), closes [#6039](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6039) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(codex):** use `access_token.exp` instead of `id_token.exp` when computing `expiresAt` on Codex auth import, since the `id_token` can expire far sooner than the actual access token, causing imported connections to be treated as expired while still usable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-auth-import-expiry.test.ts`. ([#6084](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6084), closes [#6075](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6075) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(security):** persist the IP allow/block-list configuration (it was resetting to Disabled and clearing configured IPs on every restart/update) and actually enforce it in the authz pipeline (`src/server/authz/pipeline.ts`), where it was previously validated but never applied. Regression guards: `tests/unit/ip-filter-persistence-6131.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/ip-filter-enforcement-6131.test.ts`, `tests/unit/ip-filter.test.ts`. (closes [#6131](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6131), [#6132](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6132))
+- **fix (Claude tool_result adjacency):** reattach an OpenAI-shaped `tool_result` to sit directly adjacent to its originating `tool_use` before translating to Claude's message format (`open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-claude/toolResultAdjacency.ts`), since Claude's API rejects/mishandles a tool result separated from its tool call by intervening messages. Regression guard: `tests/unit/translator-openai-to-claude.test.ts` (new cases). ([#6035](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6035) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(config):** externalize `ws`/`bufferutil`/`utf-8-validate` in `next.config.mjs` so the `copilot-m365-web` executor's WebSocket masking path works at runtime — chat requests through it were silently timing out because the bundler was inlining `ws` instead of leaving it as a real Node dependency. Regression guard: `tests/unit/next-config.test.ts`. ([#6130](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6130), closes [#6062](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6062) — thanks @anki1kr, whose #6098 fix it re-lands)
+- **fix(registry):** update grok-cli model context lengths to match the actual Grok CLI `/context` capacities — `grok-build` 128k→256k, `grok-composer-2.5-fast` 128k→200k — so context-aware routing stops filtering these models out for exceeding a stale, too-low limit. Registry-only. ([#5913](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5913) — thanks @Chewji9875)
+- **fix(providers):** strip an orphan `tool_result` (one with no preceding `tool_use`) on the Antigravity MITM path before translating to OpenAI format, since an unpaired tool result upstream caused request failures. Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-orphan-toolresult-6026.test.ts`. (closes [#6026](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6026), [#6115](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6115))
+- **fix(providers):** emulate OpenAI-style `tool_calls` in the GitLab Duo executor (new `open-sse/executors/gitlabResponses.ts`), since the executor previously didn't emulate tool-call semantics for Duo, breaking tool-using clients routed to GitLab Duo. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-duo-toolcalls-6051.test.ts`. (closes [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051), [#6111](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6111))
+- **fix(429 / accountFallback):** persist the per-account 429 cooldown cascade across the request boundary and classify OpenCode's "Monthly usage limit. Resets in N days." message as a connection-scoped quota exhaustion with an N-day cooldown (instead of a ~5s transient retry), so an exhausted account stops being re-selected until its window resets. ([#6061](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6061) — thanks @KooshaPari / @anki1kr, whose superseded #6086 carried the same day-parser approach)
+- **combo (sibling-model fallback on per-model-quota 500s):** when a combo held multiple models from the same provider (e.g. two Gemini models) and the first returned a server 500, the router retried the same locked model and surfaced a 429 "cooling down" instead of trying the sibling — `markConnectionLevelExhaustion` was wrongly tripped by a model-level 500 for per-model-quota providers (gemini, github, passthrough, compatible), and the retry loop didn't check `isModelLocked` before re-hitting the same model. Both gaps are fixed; the combo now falls through to the untried sibling model. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo/combo-target-exhaustion.test.ts` (21 cases). ([#5976](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5976) — thanks @hartmark)
+- **providers (Cline non-streaming envelope):** Cline can return OpenAI-compatible chat completions wrapped as `{ success, data: { choices, usage, ... } }`; the non-streaming path checked the top-level body for empty content before unwrapping, so a valid wrapped response could be misclassified as malformed/empty. The envelope is now unwrapped immediately after provider-envelope handling, before empty-content detection, usage extraction, and translation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cline-response-envelope.test.ts`. ([#6046](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6046) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **providers (kimi-web, qwen-web):** align the kimi-web model catalog and request-scenario selection with `www.kimi.com`'s live `GetAvailableModels` response, and stop aliasing `qwen3-coder-plus` on qwen-web now that it is present as its own model in the live Qwen web catalog. ([#5915](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5915) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **translator (Antigravity/Gemini tool schemas):** strip `multipleOf` from function-declaration parameters before forwarding to Antigravity/Gemini — it is not part of the Gemini OpenAPI 3.0 schema subset accepted upstream and triggered a hard 400 ("Unknown name multipleOf"). Added to `GEMINI_UNSUPPORTED_SCHEMA_KEYS` so it is stripped at every schema level; `minimum`/`maximum` are unaffected since Gemini accepts them. (Ported from 9router#2309, reported by @abil0321.) ([#6052](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6052))
+- **translator (Kiro system prompt leak):** Kiro/CodeWhisperer has no system role, so system messages were normalized into a bare user turn — the full Claude Code system prompt then appeared as raw user text, polluting model context. System-origin content is now wrapped in `<system-reminder>` tags before merging into the Kiro user message; real user turns are unaffected. (Ported from 9router#2306, reported by @VitzS7.) ([#6053](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6053))
+- **fix(codex):** convert Chat Completions `json_schema` `response_format` → Responses API `text.format` on the Codex path, and preserve an existing `text.format` through verbosity normalization. Regression guards: 48 translator-openai-responses-req + 8 codex-verbosity tests. ([#5933](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5933) — thanks @yusufrahadika)
+- **fix(thinking):** only inject the `redacted_thinking` replay block when `tool_use` is present and thinking is enabled, avoiding a fabricated replay block on plain (non-tool) turns. ([#5945](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5945), [#5953](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5953))
+- **fix(resilience):** honor active **codex session affinity** over per-request reset-aware re-scoring, so an in-flight session sticks to its pinned account instead of being re-scored away mid-conversation. New `src/sse/services/sessionAffinityPin.ts` module. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-session-affinity-reset-aware-5903.test.ts`. ([#5903](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5903), [#5943](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5943))
+- **fix(resilience):** compute per-window `is_exhausted` and honor the quota-exhaustion preflight for **priority combos**, so a combo no longer keeps routing to a target whose current window is already exhausted. New `open-sse/services/combo/quotaExhaustionCutoff.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-priority-quota-exhaustion-cutoff-5923.test.ts`. ([#5923](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5923), [#5941](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5941))
+- **fix(providers):** strip a `/v1` suffix from the base URL unconditionally in both models-discovery paths, avoiding a doubled `/v1/v1/models` fetch error (e.g. Api Airforce). Regression guard: `tests/unit/airforce-v1-double-prefix-5899.test.ts`. ([#5899](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5899), [#5920](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5920) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(api):** relax provider-scoped chat completion validation on `/api/providers/[provider]/chat/completions`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-scoped-chat-completions-validation.test.ts`. ([#5907](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5907) — thanks @nickwizard)
+- **fix(providers):** validate **v0 Platform** (Vercel) API keys via the `/chats` endpoint instead of a probe that rejected valid keys. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-validation-specialty.test.ts`. ([#5954](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5954) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+- **fix(mcp):** auto-recover stale streamable HTTP MCP sessions on `initialize` instead of failing the reconnect. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mcp-session-sweep.test.ts`. ([#5957](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5957) — thanks @Chewji9875)
+- **fix(translator):** enforce strict Anthropic content-block compliance when converting an antigravity → openai request. Regression guard: `tests/unit/translator-antigravity-to-openai.test.ts` (9). ([#5935](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5935))
+- **fix(sse):** strip ANSI/VT100 escape codes from `gemini-cli` stream frames using a ReDoS-safe pattern. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-cli-ansi-sanitization.test.ts` (5). ([#5934](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5934) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(discovery):** resolve a doubled `/v1` discovery path and a `REDIRECT_BLOCKED` probe-loop abort in the model-discovery route. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-route.test.ts`. ([#5904](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5904) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **fix(providers): Perplexity Web now emits real `tool_calls` in streaming mode** — previously only non-streaming requests (`hasTools && !stream`) converted `<tool>{...}</tool>` text into OpenAI `tool_calls`; streaming requests (the default for agentic coding clients) got the raw `<tool>` text as plain `delta.content` and never emitted a `tool_calls` SSE delta. Now mirrors the `chatgpt-web` `toolMode` helpers (`buildToolModeResponse()`/`toolCompletionToSseStream()`, extended with a caller-supplied `idSeed` so tool-call ids stay provider-specific), buffering the completion and emitting a terminal SSE replay carrying `delta.tool_calls` + `finish_reason: tool_calls` regardless of the caller's stream flag. ([#5927](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5927), [#5937](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5937))
+- **providers (openai-family model inference no longer hijacks cataloged models):** `resolveModelByProviderInference()` had an unconditional `/^gpt-/i` heuristic that hijacked any model id starting with `gpt-`/`o1`/`o3` into provider `openai`, even when the id is cataloged under other providers — breaking bare (non-combo) requests for open-weight models like `gpt-oss-120b` (served by fireworks/cerebras/scaleway/byteplus/sambanova/heroku), which don't exist on openai's catalog, producing a 404 with no fallback. The heuristic is now gated on `providers.length === 0` so it only fires for genuinely uncataloged openai-family ids. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gptoss-provider-inference-5852.test.ts`. ([#5852](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5852), [#5938](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5938))
+- **fix(providers): deepseek-web reliability** — auto-refresh the session on `401`/`403`, refresh the v2.0.0 client headers, and fix the token-kind bulk import path. Regression guards: `tests/unit/deepseek-web-autorefresh-401-response.test.ts`, `tests/unit/bulk-web-session-import.test.ts`. ([#5988](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5988) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(api):** guard the shared frontend API client (`handleResponse` in `src/shared/utils/api.ts`) against non-JSON error responses — it previously called `response.json()` unconditionally and read `data.error` directly, throwing an unrelated parse error (or `undefined`) instead of a useful message when an upstream/proxy returned a non-JSON error body. Now routes through `parseResponseBody`/`getErrorMessage` to build a safe message regardless of body shape. Regression guard: `tests/unit/shared-api-utils.test.ts`. ([#5973](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5973))
+- **fix(embeddings):** forward the connection-level proxy configuration to embedding requests — `src/lib/embeddings/service.ts` previously ignored a connection's configured proxy when making embedding calls, so proxy-only network setups leaked embedding traffic outside the proxy. Regression guard: `tests/unit/embeddings-proxy-forwarding.test.ts`. ([#5975](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5975))
+- **fix(resilience):** parse `Retry-After` from a 429's JSON body for cooldown calculation, not just the HTTP header — a new `retryAfterJson.ts` helper extracts a retry-after hint from common JSON error-body shapes and `accountFallback.ts`'s cooldown path now prefers it when the header is absent. Regression guard: `tests/unit/account-fallback-retry-after-json.test.ts`. (Includes #6013's retry-after-json extraction.) ([#5974](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5974) — thanks @KooshaPari)

+- **release close (release-PR one-pass CI sweep):** restore Zod validation on the provider-scoped chat route with a `.passthrough()` schema that keeps #5907's relaxed semantics (t06 route-validation gate); point `/api/keys/{id}/devices`' 401 response at the management error envelope in `docs/openapi.yaml` (Schemathesis schema-conformance); rebaseline `i18nUiCoverage.pct` 77.5→76.8 (~1352 new en.json UI keys from the cycle await the async translation workflow — same shape as the v3.8.39 rebaseline); dismiss 2 CodeQL `js/incomplete-url-substring-sanitization` false positives on unit-test asserts (v3.8.35 precedent).

+- **release close (Phase 0 pre-flight):** align cycle-stale tests with merged behavior — provider count 166→167 (Kenari #6104), Linux-regenerated translate-path golden (+`kenari`), OpenCode quota scope `provider`→`connection` (#6061) — and absorb cycle ratchet drift (file-size caps for `oauth/[provider]/[action]/route.ts` 960, `providerLimits.ts` 998, `chat.ts` 1662, `auth.ts` 2426, with #6158 tracked to restore the oauth-route freeze). The test-masking gate gains a narrowly-scoped `_deletedWithReplacement` allowlist section (deletion is exempt ONLY when the declared replacement test file exists in HEAD — used for `targetExhaustion.test.ts` → `tests/unit/combo/combo-target-exhaustion.test.ts`, which has MORE coverage: 21 cases/52 asserts vs 13/37), plus 5 new gate unit tests and reduction-allowlist entries for the verified-legitimate #5958/#6088/#5816 assert migrations.
+
+- **test (deflake `setup-claude`):** `tests/unit/cli/setup-claude.test.ts` failed ~50% of runs with `Unable to deserialize cloned data due to invalid or unsupported version` at file teardown (all subtests passed), randomly reddening `Unit Tests fast-path (2/2)` / `Fast Quality Gates` across the PR→release queue. Root cause: `node --test` streams each file's report to the parent as V8-serialized frames on fd 1 (stdout), and the CLI helper under test (`syncClaudeProfilesFromModels`) prints progress via `console.log` — that stdout output interleaved with the serialized frames and corrupted the stream. The test now silences the stdout-writing `console` methods for the file's duration (no assertion inspects stdout), making it deterministic (15/15 green locally). ([#5959](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5959)) ([#6021](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6021))
+
+- **API validation:** add a `validatedJsonBody(request, schema)` helper in `src/shared/validation/helpers.ts` that fuses JSON body parsing and Zod validation into a single call, returning either the type-narrowed data or a ready-to-return 400 `NextResponse` with the standard error envelope. Salvaged from the closed refactor PR #5075 (Tier 1 portable helper) with a focused 6-case regression test. Co-authored-by: KooshaPari <KooshaPari@users.noreply.github.com>
+- **repo (Windows case-conflict cleanup):** remove the stale root `DESIGN.md`, which case-conflicted with `design.md` and broke checkouts/clones on case-insensitive Windows filesystems. ([#6140](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6140) — thanks @backryun)
+- **i18n(zh-CN):** translate the CHANGELOG entries and section headings, adopting zh-CN as a fully translated locale alongside the existing supporting docs. ([#6043](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6043) — thanks @studyzy)
+- **docs (env-doc-sync base-red):** document `BIFROST_PORT` in `.env.example` / `docs/reference/ENVIRONMENT.md` — the Bifrost embedded-service merge referenced `process.env.BIFROST_PORT` (default 8080) without documenting it, so `check:env-doc-sync` failed on the release tip and reddened Fast Quality Gates for every open PR→release. Docs-only (`8d7e3e28f`).
+- **test (CI-runner-independent translate-path golden):** normalize OS/arch-derived request headers (`X-Stainless-Os`/`X-Stainless-Arch`, `(OS;arch)` User-Agent segments, and Antigravity's `os.platform()`-derived platform substring) in the provider translate-path golden snapshot, so the test no longer depends on the OS/arch of the CI runner that generated it — a Mac-literal Antigravity UA was failing on Linux CI. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-translate-path-golden.test.ts`. ([#6076](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6076) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **release-green base-reds (#5695 regex + file-size rebaseline):** `tests/unit/ui/quick-start-api-keys-link-5695.test.ts` now tolerates Prettier splitting a multi-line `<Link href=...>` so the `step1Desc` regex matches the `/dashboard/api-manager` link instead of skipping to `step2`'s single-line `/dashboard/providers` link (test was brittle, not the code). Also rebaselines 5 files that grew via already-merged release-tip PRs in `config/quality/file-size-baseline.json` (`ApiManagerPageClient` 3017→3058, `OAuthModal` 969→989, `cliRuntime` 1090→1100, `webProvidersA` 805→809, `deepseek-web.test` 1081→1092), with shrink tracked in #3501. ([#6093](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6093))
+- **release close (LEDGER-4 base-red):** the `cline-pass` provider's `minimax-m3` registry entry was missing `supportsVision`, breaking the LEDGER-4 registry-consistency test (every `minimax-m3` entry must set `supportsVision` to match `lite.ts` — the model is multimodal). Flagged it to match every other `minimax-m3` entry (trae, bazaarlink, cline, ollama-cloud, ...). ([#6003](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6003))
+- **release close (stryker `tap.testFiles` drift):** additional release-green cleanup clearing the `qoder` registry's `minimax-m3` `supportsVision` LEDGER-4 base-red and `stryker.conf.json`'s `tap.testFiles` drift. ([#6012](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6012))
+- **install (pnpm 11+ support):** pnpm 11 introduced `ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS` for native addon packages — without explicit `allowBuilds` approval, packages silently skip their build scripts and OmniRoute fails to start with missing native modules. Sets `allowBuilds=true` for all 13 native addon packages in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` (`@parcel/watcher`, `@swc/core`, `better-sqlite3`, `core-js`, `esbuild`, `keytar`, `koffi`, `libxmljs2`, `onnxruntime-node`, `protobufjs`, `sharp`, `tls-client-node`, `unrs-resolver`) and migrates `onlyBuiltDependencies` from the deprecated `package.json` field to a new `pnpm.json`. (commit 39349da18 — thanks @chirag127)
+- **refactor (Block J hot-path decomposition):** extract pure leaves with no behavior change from the executor, translator, combo, and SSE hot paths — orphaned executor tests moved to top-level so a runner collects them, and `handleComboChat`'s auto-strategy/target-timeout regions split into named helpers. ([#6063](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6063), [#6049](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6049), [#6036](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6036), [#6030](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6030), [#6020](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6020), [#6018](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6018), [#6017](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6017), [#6016](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6016), [#6015](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6015), [#6014](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6014), [#6008](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6008), [#6006](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6006), [#6000](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6000), [#5999](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5999), [#5994](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5994), [#5967](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5967), [#5962](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5962), [#5960](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5960), [#5947](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5947), [#5949](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5949), [#5940](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5940), [#5932](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5932))
+- **chore (quality/CI housekeeping):** rebaseline residual ESLint/cognitive-complexity/file-size drift accumulated over the v3.8.44 cycle, move orphaned executor tests to a top-level location so a runner actually collects them, harden the release pipeline with a test-masking pre-flight gate plus contributors/uncovered helpers, and make the `pr-evidence` FAIL output tell the author to push (a body edit alone does not re-run the gate). ([#5926](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5926), [#5944](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5944), [#5952](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5952), [#6027](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6027), [#5928](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5928), plus a #5975-collateral test hardening pinning a seeded connection to direct egress in route-edge-coverage)
+- **docs (housekeeping):** normalize mixed-language documentation content, restore the OpenAPI coverage ratchet by documenting 9 newly-added routes, record Hard Rule #22 (cross-session safety — `git stash` + in-flight PR bans), and document the compression-engine's upstream sync policy for the RTK/Caveman engines. ([#6105](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6105), [#5955](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5955), [#5948](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5948), plus docs-only commit 926b08aa8)

-As credenciais OAuth embutidas no OmniRoute estão cadastradas **apenas para `localhost`**. Quando você acessa o OmniRoute em um servidor remoto (ex: `https://omniroute.meuservidor.com`), o Google rejeita a autenticação com:
-
-```
-Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch
-```
-
-#### Solução: Configure suas próprias credenciais OAuth
-
-Você precisa criar um **OAuth 2.0 Client ID** no Google Cloud Console com a URI do seu servidor.
-
-#### Passo a passo
-
-**1. Acesse o Google Cloud Console**
-
-Abra: [https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials)
-
-**2. Crie um novo OAuth 2.0 Client ID**
-
-- Clique em **"+ Create Credentials"** → **"OAuth client ID"**
-- Tipo de aplicativo: **"Web application"**
-- Nome: escolha qualquer nome (ex: `OmniRoute Remote`)
-
-**3. Adicione as Authorized Redirect URIs**
-
-No campo **"Authorized redirect URIs"**, adicione:
-
-```
-https://seu-servidor.com/callback
-```
-
-> Substitua `seu-servidor.com` pelo domínio ou IP do seu servidor (inclua a porta se necessário, ex: `http://45.33.32.156:20128/callback`).
-
-**4. Salve e copie as credenciais**
-
-Após criar, o Google mostrará o **Client ID** e o **Client Secret**.
-
-**5. Configure as variáveis de ambiente**
-
-No seu `.env` (ou nas variáveis de ambiente do Docker):
-
-```bash
-# Para Antigravity:
-ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=seu-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
-ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-seu-secret
-
-GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=seu-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
-GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-seu-secret
-```
-
-**6. Reinicie o OmniRoute**
-
-```bash
-# Se usando npm:
-npm run dev
-
-# Se usando Docker:
-docker restart omniroute
-```
-
-**7. Tente conectar novamente**
-
-
-Agora o Google redirecionará corretamente para `https://seu-servidor.com/callback` e a autenticação funcionará.
-
----
-
-#### Workaround temporário (sem configurar credenciais próprias)
-
-Se não quiser criar credenciais próprias agora, ainda é possível usar o fluxo **manual de URL**:
-
-1. O OmniRoute abrirá a URL de autorização do Google
-2. Após você autorizar, o Google tentará redirecionar para `localhost` (que falha no servidor remoto)
-3. **Copie a URL completa** da barra de endereço do seu browser (mesmo que a página não carregue)
-4. Cole essa URL no campo que aparece no modal de conexão do OmniRoute
-5. Clique em **"Connect"**
-
-> Este workaround funciona porque o código de autorização na URL é válido independente do redirect ter carregado ou não.

+- **feat(release):** `changelog.d/` fragments — eliminates the CHANGELOG merge-storm cascade. ([#6783](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6783) — thanks @diegosouzapw)

+
+- **feat(dashboard):** sidebar quick-filter — a search input at the top of the expanded dashboard sidebar (`src/shared/components/Sidebar.tsx`) filters nav sections/groups/items client-side by label as you type, reusing the existing `common.search`/`common.noResults` i18n keys (zero new locale edits) and the shared `Input` `icon="search"` pattern; matching sections auto-expand while searching (bypassing the accordion/pin state) and collapse back to normal once the query is cleared. Pure filtering logic extracted into `filterSidebarSectionsByQuery()` (`src/shared/utils/sidebarSearch.ts`) for isolated unit testing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/sidebar-search-filter.test.ts`, `src/shared/components/Sidebar.search.test.tsx`. (#4013 — thanks @crochabe-cyber)
+- **feat(combo):** `auto/*` combos gain a strict budget-cap fallback policy — `X-OmniRoute-Budget-Fallback: strict` (or the persisted `config.budgetFallback: "strict"`) makes an over-budget request fail fast with `HTTP 402` instead of the previous silent fallback to the globally cheapest candidate, which could still exceed the cap. The default (`cheapest`) preserves existing behavior. Builds on the existing `X-OmniRoute-Budget`/`X-OmniRoute-Mode` per-request controls (#6023/#6024/#6025), consolidated into `resolveRequestAutoControls()`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auto-combo-budget-fallback-3470.test.ts`. (#3470)
+- **Provider/model param filters**: config-driven parameter denylist/allowlist per provider/model with auto-learn from upstream 400s (#6649 — thanks @ThongAccount, closes #6625)
+- **Per-combo reasoning token buffer toggle**: the combo builder now exposes an explicit checkbox for the `#3587` reasoning-model `max_tokens` buffer, defaulting to the existing enabled behavior, so a combo can opt out without hand-editing raw JSON config (#6702 — thanks @xz-dev)
+- **feat(dashboard):** 9router-parity **Routing Strategy** settings card on Settings → Routing, plus a per-provider account-routing override on the provider detail page ([#6678](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6678)) — surfaces the existing account round-robin / sticky-limit knobs and adds a new combo-level sticky round-robin (`comboStickyRoundRobinLimit`, resolved via `resolveComboStickyRoundRobinLimit()` — per-combo → global combo sticky → account sticky cascade) so combo targets can batch calls per target the same way account fallback already does. A new `providerStrategies` setting (Zod-validated map, `src/shared/validation/settingsSchemas.ts`) lets a specific provider override the global `fallbackStrategy`/`stickyRoundRobinLimit` without touching the account-wide default, wired into `getProviderCredentials()` (`src/sse/services/auth.ts`) ahead of the global fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-rr-sticky-9router.test.ts`, `tests/unit/settings-ui-layout-static.test.ts`. (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **feat(icons):** provider logos now resolve local SVG assets first for faster rendering, with a 5-tier fallback chain — local SVG → `@lobehub/icons` React components → `thesvg.org` CDN (external SVG for unknown providers) → local PNG → generic AI icon — replacing the previous LobeHub-first order. Adds dozens of first-party provider SVGs and migrates several bitmap logos (continue/copilot/cursor/deepgram/heroku/openclaw/ovhcloud) from PNG to SVG. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/ProviderIcon-icon-url.test.tsx`. ([#6317](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6317) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **Skill Collector CLI detection**: new `GET /api/skills/collect/detect` + `POST /api/skills/collect/install` (and the `cli-skill-collector` agent skill) detect which coding CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Cline, Hermes, OpenCode, etc.) are installed locally via `getCliRuntimeStatus()`, match them against GitHub agent-skill repos, and plan an install path per tool — replacing the standalone Skill Collector Python app. Both new routes and `GET/POST /api/github-skills` now require management auth (`requireManagementAuth()`) and are loopback-gated (`LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` + `SPAWN_CAPABLE_PREFIXES`) since the detect route spawns a child process per candidate CLI tool (Hard Rules #15 + #17). The `omniroute_github_skills_install` MCP tool now reports the honest `action: "planned"` instead of `"installed"`, matching the REST route (#6294 — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **ClinePass dual-auth**: ClinePass now offers both sign-in methods on its dashboard page — OAuth (reusing the Cline WorkOS flow) as the primary "Connect" path, or a pasted BYOK API key via "Manual API key", instead of only the API-key-only provider shipped in #5942. The registry alias was aligned to `cp` (matching the `OAUTH_PROVIDERS` catalog alias) so `<alias>/<modelId>` routing resolves correctly, the OAuth refresh dispatch now routes `clinepass` to the shared Cline refresh flow, and the duplicate API-key-only catalog entry was removed to keep ClinePass listed once. Regression guard: `tests/unit/clinepass-provider.test.ts`. (#6126 — thanks @hajilok)
+- **feat(oauth):** Kiro/Amazon Q auto-import now supports enterprise **External IdP** ("Your organization") logins via Microsoft Entra/Okta/Auth0/OneLogin/Ping/Google/Cognito — these org-issued tokens are not AWS SSO tokens (no `aorAAAAAG`-prefixed refresh token) and can't refresh through the AWS OIDC/Kiro-social path, so `tryAwsSsoCache()` now detects them (`authMethod`/`provider === "externalidp"`) and refreshes via the org IdP's own `tokenEndpoint` (public-client OAuth2 refresh grant, no client secret), persisting `TokenType: EXTERNAL_IDP` gating so the runtime executor sends the header the AWS CodeWhisperer API requires for these accounts; `tokenEndpoint` is SSRF-guarded against an HTTPS + known-IdP-host-suffix allowlist. (#6363 — thanks @artickc)
+- **Kiro long-lived API key auth**: new `/api/oauth/kiro/api-key` route + `KiroService.validateApiKey` let a Kiro account be linked with a long-lived AWS CodeWhisperer/Kiro API key instead of the interactive OAuth device flow, with live per-account model discovery (`ListAvailableModels`, 5-minute cache) layered over the existing static registry fallback (#6587 — thanks @strangersp)
+- **Chaos Mode**: multi-model parallel/collaborative task execution — dispatches a task to every active provider connection at once (parallel) or chains outputs sequentially so each model builds on the previous one's answer (collaborative), configurable via Dashboard → Chaos Mode (`GET`/`PUT`/`DELETE /api/chaos/config`) and gated per-API-key via a new `chaosModeEnabled` permission (opt-in — disabled by default globally and per key). `POST /api/chaos/run` (dashboard session) and `POST /api/skills/collect/chaos` (external Bearer-token) delegate to a shared `executeChaosRun()` engine (`src/lib/chaos/chaosExecutor.ts`) that dispatches in-process via the established synthetic-Request/route-handler pattern (no network hop, no hardcoded port), with a concurrency cap (max 10 parallel), configurable `max_tokens` (256–128k), a clear error when `stream` is requested, and collaborative-chain info (provider order + input size). Fixes external Bearer-auth bypass and stale config-cache leakage. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chaos-config.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chaos-executor.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chaos-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6728](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6728) — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **feat(cli):** 2 new CLI tool integrations on Dashboard → CLI Tools — **omp** (Oh My Pi) and **letta** — each with binary detection, config apply/reset, and a settings card following the existing tool-card pattern. Both settings routes shell out to `which omp`/`which letta` to detect the local install, so they're loopback-gated (`LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES`, Hard Rules #15/#17) in addition to the shared `requireCliToolsAuth()` management-auth guard every cli-tools route requires, and route errors through `sanitizeErrorMessage()`; `src/lib/db/omp.ts` isolates the `omp` CLI's own local SQLite reads behind parameterized queries. (Note: the original PR also proposed **pi**, **codewhale**, and **jcode** integrations — those three had already shipped via a separate PR by the time this one was reconciled, so only omp+letta landed here.) Regression guard: `tests/unit/db/omp.test.ts`, `tests/unit/cli-tools-auth-hardening.test.ts`, `tests/integration/cli-settings-omp.test.ts`, `tests/integration/cli-settings-letta.test.ts`. ([#6318](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6318) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **feat(providers):** custom models now support a manual **Context Window Override** so an operator can correct a provider's misreported context length (e.g. reports 1M when the real limit is 128K) instead of the model silently getting dropped from combo routing once the wrong value lands in the catalog ([#4125](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/4125) — thanks @rucciva). Reuses the existing Feature-5004 `model_context_overrides` table (`source: "manual"`) — already the priority-0 source `getModelContextLimit()` (the function combo's context-window filter calls) reads ahead of the models.dev/registry/static catalog — so no new resolver logic was needed, only the missing write path: `PUT /api/provider-models` now accepts an optional `contextWindowOverride` (number to set, `null` to clear), `GET` surfaces the current value back on each custom-model row, and the provider detail page's custom-model edit form gained a Context Window Override field + badge. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-context-window-override-4125.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** register OpenRouter as a rerank provider so `openrouter/cohere/rerank-*` models resolve instead of erroring `Invalid rerank model` (#6574 — thanks @rafpigna)
+- **fix(api):** `HEAD` requests no longer hang until client timeout on any route — valid, unknown, authed, or unauthed ([#6400](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6400)), broader follow-up to the route-specific #6517 (`/v1/models`). Root cause: Next.js 16's App Router _route-handler_ pipeline (`next/dist/server/send-response.js`) correctly skips piping a `Response` body for `HEAD`, but its _page_-rendering pipeline (`next/dist/server/pipe-readable.js` → `pipeToNodeResponse`, used for every app-router page/layout render — including the `not-found` boundary any unmatched path falls through to) has no such check and always streams the full rendered body regardless of method; combined with Node's default keep-alive framing this left some clients unsure whether the (implicitly bodyless) `HEAD` response had actually finished. A new `scripts/dev/head-response-guard.cjs`, wired into both the dev/start custom server (`scripts/dev/run-next.mjs`) and the packaged standalone server (`scripts/dev/standalone-server-ws.mjs`) at the same tier as the existing `http-method-guard.cjs`/`peer-stamp.mjs` wrappers, discards any body bytes written for a `HEAD` request and forces `Connection: close` once `.end()` is called — independent of route existence or auth state, satisfying RFC 9110 §9.3.2. Regression guard: `tests/unit/head-request-closes-6400.test.ts`.
+- **feat(dashboard):** Provider Quota page (`Dashboard → Quota`) fills horizontal whitespace before stacking vertically ([#3520](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3520)) — `QuotaCardGrid` previously stacked every provider group in a single vertical `flex flex-col`, and each group's own card grid didn't go multi-column until `md` (`grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 xl:grid-cols-3 2xl:grid-cols-4`). Provider groups now flow into a 2-column CSS multi-column layout on very wide (`2xl`) screens instead of an unconditional vertical stack, and each group's card grid starts at 2 columns immediately (`grid-cols-2 md:grid-cols-3 xl:grid-cols-4`), reaching higher density sooner on narrower-but-not-mobile viewports. Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-card-grid-horizontal-layout.test.ts` (thanks @gdevenyi).
+- **feat(ws):** the live-dashboard WebSocket server now auto-starts in-process (via `instrumentation-node.ts`) across every deployment mode — dev, production, Docker, Electron — with no separate sidecar script; the default WS port moved from 20129 to **20132** to avoid colliding with `API_PORT` in split-port setups, the deprecated `OMNIROUTE_DISABLE_LIVE_WS` env was consolidated into `OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS` (default enabled), and the WS path is now derived from `NEXT_PUBLIC_LIVE_WS_PUBLIC_URL`'s pathname (`/live-ws` fallback) (#6072 — thanks @ianriizky).
+- **feat(compression):** new **omniglyph** engine (context-as-image) — renders system prompt, tool docs, and dense history as compact PNG pages the model reads instead of text (~10× fewer tokens on the converted block; 59–70% end-to-end measured). Works stacked with RTK/Caveman (`stackPriority: 90`) or standalone (`mode: omniglyph`); restricted to Claude Fable 5 over the direct Anthropic route, fail-closed gates with `skip:<reason>` techniques, preview (`stable: false`, off by default) (#6556). Dependency bumped to `omniglyph@^1.0.2` for upstream ReDoS fixes (#6661).
+- **feat(sandbox):** the skill sandbox gained a container-provider abstraction that auto-detects and uses the best native runtime per host — Apple Container (macOS 26+), WSL container (`wslc.exe`), OrbStack, Podman — instead of hardcoding `docker run`, removing the Docker Desktop requirement on macOS/Windows (#6611 — thanks @KooshaPari).
+- **fix(sse):** skip `thinkingConfig` for Gemma models on the OpenAI→Gemini path so OpenAI-shape clients no longer get a 400 from Vertex. (thanks @chy1211)
+- **feat(xai):** route xAI clients to Grok's native `/v1/responses` endpoint instead of the chat-completions bridge. (thanks @ryanngit)
+- **feat(models):** add a Settings → AI "Model Overrides" UI plus `/api/model-capability-overrides` CRUD and a `model_capability_overrides` table, letting operators set a manual max-output-token override per provider/model (#6727 — thanks @xz-dev).
+- **feat(resilience):** operator-configurable account rotation policy — a new `rotationConfig` layer lets operators tune how connections rotate on failure, wired into `accountFallback` (#6763 — thanks @artickc).
+- **chore(cursor): add Grok 4.5 effort/fast model IDs** (#6774 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- **feat(codex):** Codex provider model discovery now fetches the live catalog from `chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/models` using Codex-shaped headers, falling back to a GitHub-hosted model manifest and then to the local static catalog when the live/GitHub sources are unavailable or return an unexpected shape — new `src/app/api/providers/[id]/models/discovery/codex.ts` (normalization, version-gating, merge/enrich against the local catalog) covered by `tests/unit/provider-models-discovery-split.test.ts` and `tests/unit/provider-models-route-codex.test.ts` (#6776 — thanks @JxnLexn).
+- **feat(cursor):** register the Opus 4.8, Fable 5, and Sonnet 5 model families for the Cursor Agent provider so the latest Claude/Fable model ids route correctly (#6779 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- **Changelog fragments (`changelog.d/`)**: PRs now add their changelog entry as a new fragment file (`changelog.d/{features|fixes|maintenance}/<PR>-<slug>.md`) instead of editing `CHANGELOG.md` — two PRs never touch the same file, structurally eliminating the CHANGELOG-eat merge conflicts that forced a re-sync push + full CI re-run after every sibling merge (O(N²) CI runs in a merge-storm). `scripts/release/aggregate-changelog.mjs` (npm run changelog:aggregate) folds fragments into the living section at release reconciliation, and `check:changelog-integrity` now also validates fragment well-formedness. Regression guard: `tests/unit/changelog-fragments.test.ts`.
+- **feat(proxy):** add a latency-optimized proxy rotation strategy that ranks pool entries by measured round-trip latency, extending the existing round-robin/random/sticky proxy-pool selection (#6798 — thanks @iamraydoan).
+- **feat(fusion):** the fusion judge may now draw on its own knowledge and override the panel when every panel answer is wrong or incomplete, instead of being restricted to synthesizing only from panel output (#6804 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **feat(dashboard):** search box on the Playground's raw model `<select>` (#4086) — the shared `ModelSelectModal` (combo builder + CLI-code cards) already had search, but Playground's `StudioConfigPane` model dropdown stayed a flat unsearchable list, unusable once a provider like OpenRouter contributed 50+ models. Typing now filters the dropdown (Turkish-safe accent/case-insensitive match via `matchesSearch`), while the currently selected model always stays pinned in the list even if it no longer matches the query, so typing never silently swaps the active selection. Reuses the existing `common.search` i18n key (already translated in all 42 locales) — no new translation key needed. Regression guard: `tests/unit/playground-model-selection-3731.test.ts` (`filterModelsByQuery`), `tests/unit/ui/playground-model-search-4086.test.tsx`.
+- **feat(usage):** Antigravity/agy quota widget now surfaces the **weekly** window alongside the existing per-model 5-hour window ([#4017](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/4017)) — the weekly limit isn't part of the per-model `retrieveUserQuota` response the fetcher already calls; it only appears in a separate, undocumented `retrieveUserQuotaSummary` RPC that groups models into families ("Gemini Models", "Claude and GPT models") with one weekly bucket per family. A new `usage/antigravityWeeklyQuota.ts` leaf fetches that RPC (cached, best-effort — a failure or unavailable RPC never breaks the existing per-model quotas) and parses the weekly bucket per group into `gemini_weekly`/`claude_gpt_weekly` quota entries, merged into the same `quotas` map the widget already renders generically. Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-weekly-quota-4017.test.ts` (bucket parsing, the alternate `quotaSummary`-nested envelope, and end-to-end merge via `getUsageForProvider`).
+- **feat(codex):** Codex CLI compatibility shim — the Responses API `response.created`/`response.in_progress`/`response.completed` payloads now carry a `model` field (previously absent), and for Codex-CLI-originated requests it echoes the client-requested, effort-suffixed model id (e.g. `gpt-5.5-xhigh`) instead of the bare upstream id (`gpt-5.5`), so the Codex CLI status line/model button shows the active reasoning effort ([#3697](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3697)). `openaiToOpenAIResponsesResponse` (`open-sse/translator/response/openai-responses.ts`) now threads the upstream model into the Responses event objects; a new `isCodexOriginatedHeaders()` (`open-sse/config/codexIdentity.ts`, reusing PR #3481's `originator`/User-Agent detection) makes chatCore's existing opt-in `echoRequestedModelName` (#1311) model-echo pipeline fire automatically for Codex clients regardless of the setting, detected by request headers so it still applies when `codex/gpt-5.5-xhigh` is routed through a combo to a non-codex upstream; `echoModelInObject`/`echoModelInSseLine` (`open-sse/services/responseModelEcho.ts`) now also rewrite the nested `response.model` field the Responses API uses. `/v1/models` still returns `models: []` for Codex (unchanged). Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-effort-model-echo-3697.test.ts`.
+- **Z.ai Web (free web-session provider)**: new `zai-web` web-cookie provider drives the free chat.z.ai consumer chat UI via a pasted browser session cookie, distinct from the existing API-key `zai`/`glm`/`glm-cn`/`glmt` providers (`api.z.ai`) — modeled on the `doubao-web`/`venice-web` cookie executors and the pre-existing `chatglm-web` credential requirement/token-extraction entries. `ZaiWebExecutor` (`open-sse/executors/zai-web.ts`) posts to `chat.z.ai/api/chat/completions` with the cookie forwarded both as `Cookie` and as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`, and normalizes both z.ai's internal `delta_content`/`phase` SSE envelope and a pass-through OpenAI-shaped `choices[].delta` frame into standard chat-completion chunks. Registered in `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS`, `WEB_SESSION_CREDENTIAL_REQUIREMENTS`, the provider registry (`zai-web` entry, GLM-4.6/4.5/4.5V models), and `tokenExtractionConfig.ts` for in-app cookie capture. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executor-zai-web.test.ts` (16 tests — token extraction, frame parsing for both SSE shapes, streaming and non-streaming aggregation, error paths). (#4056)
+- **feat(compression):** update the vendored **GCF** codec behind the **Headroom** engine to spec **v3.2 (nested flattening)** ([#6837](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6837)). Homogeneous arrays whose rows carry nested objects/arrays now tabularize via `>`-prefixed path fields instead of a low-yield per-row fallback, so nested MCP tool-result rows (`meta:{...}`, `tags:[...]`) compact like flat rows. On representative shapes the update takes deeply-nested payloads the old codec left near-uncompressed from ~3% to ~32% vs JSON (k8s pods, `cl100k_base`), with shallow-nested rows seeing a small bump and flat arrays unchanged. Re-vendored from current gcf-typescript (zero runtime deps, MIT, SPDX-marked, generic-profile only); also folds in the `[N]:` inline-array quoting fix and canonical decimal formatting. Round-trip stays lossless (order-insensitive), and the decoder is hardened against prototype pollution (a `__proto__`/`constructor` path segment never mutates `Object.prototype`, and keys shadowing built-ins like `toString` now round-trip correctly instead of misparsing). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression/headroom-smartcrusher.test.ts` (deep-nested + prototype-pollution cases).
+- **feat(providers):** Add GPT-5.6 support across OpenAI API, Codex, and ChatGPT Web, including Codex Max/Ultra efforts, VS Code metadata, Fast-tier credit accounting, curated live discovery, the Codex 0.144.1 client identity, and correct chat routing for models that also support image generation ([#6862](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6862)) - thanks @backryun
+- **chore(providers):** Align emitted Claude Code identity headers, bridge fingerprints, provider profiles, and documented defaults with claude-cli 2.1.207 ([#6862](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6862)) - thanks @backryun
+
+### 🐛 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(dashboard):** the Proxy Registry settings page crashed at runtime (`ReferenceError: poolLoaded/bulkImportOpen is not defined`) — the #6625/#6909 hook-extraction refactors deleted 10 state declarations (`poolLoaded`, `poolSaving`, and the 8-member bulk-import family) while ~30 usages remained; all restored (caught by the release E2E; `typecheck:core` does not cover dashboard TSX — follow-up #7021). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(combo):** `comboStickyRoundRobinLimit` now defaults to inherit (`null`) instead of `1` — the literal default silently shadowed the documented batched round-robin rotation (`stickyRoundRobinLimit: 3`), flipping every round-robin combo to per-request alternation (#6678 follow-up, caught by the release CI). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(ws):** the standalone LiveWS startup script exited 0 without ever listening — its bootstrapped child re-spawned with the import-suppressor `OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS=0` and then honored it as an operator disable (#6072 follow-up, caught by the release CI). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(api):** compression PUT schema accepts every catalog engine. ([#6792](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6792) — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch)

+- **fix(providers):** enrich the model_cooldown 429 body with a `retry_after` ISO timestamp + credential count. ([#6460](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6460), [#6523](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6523) — thanks @chirag127)

+- **fix(oauth):** Trae OAuth client_id embedded via `resolvePublicCred()` (Hard Rule #11). ([#6870](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6870) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(sse):** combo path no longer trips the whole-provider breaker on a plain 429. ([#6868](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6868) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** malformed JSON bodies now return 400 instead of 500. ([#6871](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6871) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(fusion):** judge selected from a surviving panel member when no explicit judge is configured. ([#6869](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6869) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(sse):** combo model lockout honors the parsed upstream quota reset. ([#6863](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6863), [#6866](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6866) — thanks @AgentKiller45)
+- **fix(dashboard):** logs detail modal no longer reopens on first close. ([#6830](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6830) — thanks @MikeTuev)
+- **fix(usage):** honor xAI provider-reported exact cost. ([#6711](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6711) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(kiro):** probe IdC region during profileArn discovery, cross-region (recovers #6099). ([#6840](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6840) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(antigravity):** sanitize Cloud Code safety settings. ([#6839](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6839) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(translator):** defer `content_block_start` until GLM streams the tool name. ([#6730](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6730) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(translator):** strip empty `cloud_base_branch` from Cursor Subagent tool calls. ([#6729](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6729) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(antigravity):** surface aborted Gemini tool calls off `end_turn`. ([#6713](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6713) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(volcengine):** clamp Kimi `max_tokens` to the Ark endpoint cap. ([#6712](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6712) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(codex):** surface capacity errors embedded in 200-OK SSE streams. ([#6710](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6710) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(sse):** skip `thinkingConfig` for gemma models in openai→gemini translation. ([#6708](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6708) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(oauth):** avoid bare-email dedup of Codex OAuth logins. ([#6706](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6706) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(sse):** unwrap bare `{function:{…}}` tools in openai→claude translation. ([#6704](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6704) — thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **fix(db):** eliminate a redundant `getApiKeyMetadata` call in the embeddings route. ([#6929](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6929) — thanks @oyi77)
+- **fix(db):** `authType` filter support in `getProviderConnections`. ([#6946](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6946) — thanks @oyi77)
+- **fix(i18n):** the provider-detail (`/dashboard/providers/[id]`) visibility + free/paid model filter labels (`showVisibleOnly`, `showHiddenOnly`, `freeFilterAll`, `freeFilterFreeOnly`, `freeFilterPaidOnly`, `hideAllModels`, plus the currently-unused `filterVisible`/`filterHidden`/`filterByVisibility`) rendered as the literal `__MISSING__:<english>` sentinel in 15 locales, including pt-BR ([#6694](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6694)) — `providerText()` (`providerPageHelpers.ts`) checks `t.has(key)` before falling back to clean English, and `t.has()` returns `true` even when the stored value is the `__MISSING__:` sentinel `scripts/i18n/sync-ui-keys.mjs` writes when mirroring keys across locales, so the sentinel rendered verbatim instead of the fallback. Disjoint key set from #6290 (`filterAll`/`filterActive`/`filterError`/`filterBanned`/`filterCreditsExhausted`). All 9 keys now carry real translations across the 15 affected locale files (`it`, `ja`, `ko`, `mr`, `ms`, `nl`, `no`, `phi`, `pl`, `pt`, `pt-BR`, `ro`, `ru`, `sk`, `sv`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-provider-visibility-filter-keys-6694.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(cli):** the dashboard's Claude Code CLI card could report "Not detected"/"Not installed" even when Claude Code was genuinely installed and previously used ([#6701](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6701)) — `getCliRuntimeStatus()` (`src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts`) determined `installed` purely from binary resolution (known install paths + a `where`/`which` PATH search), with no fallback when that lookup fails for reasons unrelated to whether the CLI is actually installed (stale PATH inherited by a long-running/background process, the binary having moved, an install method not yet catalogued, etc.) — even though `~/.claude/settings.json` on disk proves the tool was installed and used before. Upstream 9router's equivalent route already has this exact fallback. A new `withSettingsFallback()` (`src/shared/services/cliInstallFallback.ts`) restores 9router parity: when the binary lookup's own reason is `"not_found"` (never for deliberate security rejections like unsafe/relative env overrides or symlink escapes) and the tool's settings file exists on disk, `installed` now reports `true`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6701-claude-detect-fallback.test.ts`.
+- **fix(cli):** per-agent AgentBridge DNS toggle was broken for 8 of the 9 supported agents, and a failed MITM startup step could orphan the spawned proxy child — `addDNSEntry`/`removeDNSEntry` (`src/mitm/dns/dnsConfig.ts`) always resolved the legacy Antigravity default hosts regardless of which agent's toggle was flipped, so enabling DNS for Cursor/Codex/Claude Code/etc. silently added only `daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com` while the DB recorded `dns_enabled=true` for the selected agent. Both functions now accept an optional `agentId` and resolve hosts via `ALL_TARGETS`; `POST /api/tools/agent-bridge/agents/[id]/dns` passes the route's `id` through and now returns 404 for an id that doesn't match a known target instead of silently falling back. Separately, `startMitmInternal()` (`src/mitm/manager.ts`) now wraps `generateCert()` (log + rethrow), the `provisionDnsEntries()` call, and the PID-file write in try/catch so a mid-startup failure can't orphan the already-spawned MITM child process. On Windows, `addDNSEntries`/`removeDNSEntries` also batch every missing/present entry into a single elevated PowerShell invocation instead of one UAC prompt per host line. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dns-config-generic.test.ts` (agent-specific resolution + batching), `tests/unit/agent-bridge-dns-route-validation.test.ts` (404 for unknown agent id). ([#6338](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6338) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **fix(guardrails):** Vision Bridge's individual-model auto-reroute (route an image-bearing request straight to a vision-capable model instead of describe-then-forward) could bypass a policy-restricted API key's model allowlist/budget ([#6640](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6640)) — `VisionBridgeGuardrail.preCall()` (`src/lib/guardrails/visionBridge.ts`) swaps `body.model` to the best available vision-capable model, but that swap happens in the guardrail pipeline AFTER `chat.ts` already called `enforceApiKeyPolicy()` against the ORIGINAL model, so a key scoped to a narrow `allowedModels` list could still execute against an unvetted (and possibly costlier) vision model the reroute picked. `chat.ts` now re-validates any guardrail-driven model change against the same per-key allowlist (`isModelAllowedForKey`) before honoring it, falling back to the original already-approved model when the reroute target is not allowed. The reroute path also now honors an explicit `settings.visionBridgeModel` operator override (previously ignored, unlike the combo/describe path a few lines below it, which already respects it via `getVisionBridgeConfig`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/guardrails/visionBridge.test.ts` (22 tests). (thanks @herjarsa)
+- **fix(auth):** an API key restricted via `allowedModels`/`allowedCombos` could bypass that restriction entirely over the Codex Responses-over-WebSocket bridge ([#6564](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6564)) — `prepare()` in `src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts` authenticated the WS bridge's API key (`authenticate()`/`authorizeWebSocketHandshake()`) and honored `allowedConnections`, but never called `enforceApiKeyPolicy()`, the same model/combo policy gate the HTTP `/v1/responses` path enforces via `handleChat()` — so a key scoped to e.g. `combo/model-1.0` could still reach a direct Codex model like `gpt-5.5` through this transport, as long as an eligible Codex OAuth connection existed. The bridge's WS auth token arrives via query params (`api_key`/`token`/`access_token`), not a normal `Authorization` header, so a new `enforceCodexWsApiKeyPolicy()` builds an equivalent `Request` carrying an explicit `Authorization: Bearer <apiKey>` header and calls `enforceApiKeyPolicy()` against the CLIENT-requested model, before any Codex-specific model remapping or credential selection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-ws-policy-enforcement-6564.test.ts` (a model-restricted key is rejected 403 before reaching credential selection; a combo-restricted key is rejected 403 requesting a disallowed combo; a key that DOES allow the requested model still proceeds past policy). (thanks @Squawk7777 for the report and an independent fix via #6565)
+- **fix(security):** loopback-gate `/api/middleware/*` so a leaked JWT over a tunnel can't install or trigger a middleware hook — middleware hooks compile + run arbitrary JS via `new vm.Script` on the request hot path (`src/lib/middleware/registry.ts`), the same RCE class as the already-gated `/api/plugins/*`; `/api/middleware/` is now in `LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` so loopback enforcement runs unconditionally before any auth check (Hard Rules #15 + #17). Regression guard: `tests/unit/route-guard-middleware-local-only.test.ts`. ([#6541](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6541)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(startup):** AgentBridge's MITM server no longer fails to start with `ROUTER_API_KEY is required` on a normal install ([#6403](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6403)) — `POST /api/tools/agent-bridge/server` resolved the spawned MITM child's router key from only an explicit `apiKey` body field (never sent by the AgentBridge UI — the schema has no such field) and the `ROUTER_API_KEY` env var (unset by default), so `startMitm()` always received `""` and the child hard-exited, even though OmniRoute already had a usable API key in its own DB. A new `resolveRouterApiKey()` now falls back to `pickApiKeyForInternalUse()` (the same DB-backed selector the combo-health-check / cloud-sync internal probes use), resolving in order: explicit key → `ROUTER_API_KEY` env → an existing DB key. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentbridge-mitm-router-key-6403.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** deploying a Cloudflare relay Worker from Dashboard → System → Proxy pool → Cloudflare relay failed immediately with `Cloudflare Worker upload failed: Content-Type must be one of: application/javascript, text/javascript, multipart/form-data`, even with a valid token/account ([#6416](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6416)) — the Worker-script upload built a native `FormData` and let `fetch` derive the multipart Content-Type automatically, but in production `globalThis.fetch` is patched with `node_modules/undici`'s own fetch (`open-sse/utils/proxyFetch.ts`), whose `FormData`/`Request` classes differ from the runtime's global `FormData` (same cross-realm class mismatch already fixed once for image edits in #3273); passing a native `FormData` instance through undici's patched fetch made it serialize the body as the literal string `"[object FormData]"` with `Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8`, which Cloudflare rejects outright. `buildCloudflareWorkerUploadRequest()` (`src/lib/proxyRelay/cloudflareWorkerScript.ts`) now builds the multipart body as a raw `Buffer` with an explicit boundary and `Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=…` header, accepted verbatim by any fetch implementation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloudflare-worker-upload-content-type-6416.test.ts` + updated `tests/unit/relay-deploy-5128.test.ts`.
+- **fix(security):** SSRF-guard the provider-validation probes so they can no longer be used as an open relay to cloud-metadata endpoints — `directHttpsRequest()` (web-cookie / NVIDIA / Z.AI validation, all with a caller-controllable `baseUrl`) ran with `guard:"none"` + `allowRedirect:true`; it now applies `getProviderValidationGuard()` (default `block-metadata`: LAN/localhost allowed, `169.254.169.254`/link-local IMDS rejected, opt-out via `OMNIROUTE_ALLOW_PRIVATE_PROVIDER_URLS`) and `allowRedirect:false` so a provider can't 3xx-redirect the probe to metadata past the initial-URL guard. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-validation-ssrf-guard.test.ts`. ([#6542](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6542)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(startup):** AgentBridge's MITM proxy served a mismatched cert for 3 of the 4 antigravity/cloudcode-pa hosts it terminates TLS for, breaking interception ([#6494](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6494)) — `src/mitm/server.cjs`'s `TARGET_HOSTS` decrypts all 4 hosts locally (`daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`, `cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`, `daily-cloudcode-pa.sandbox.googleapis.com`, `autopush-cloudcode-pa.sandbox.googleapis.com`), but `src/mitm/cert/generate.ts`'s self-signed cert only carried a SAN entry for the first host — a request to any of the other 3 got served a cert whose CN/SAN didn't match (confirmed via `curl -k https://cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com/` showing `CN=daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`). `generateCert()` now sources its host list from `ANTIGRAVITY_TARGET.hosts` (`src/mitm/targets/antigravity.ts`, the single authoritative registry already kept in lock-step with `server.cjs`/`dnsConfig.ts`/`mitmToolHosts.ts` by their own drift tests) and emits a SAN entry for all 4 hosts instead of hard-coding a second, incomplete copy. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentbridge-antigravity-cert-hosts-6494.test.ts` (asserts the host list covers all 4 hosts and that the real generated cert's SAN includes each one).
+- **fix(resilience):** a `priority` combo never fell back when a target masked credit/quota exhaustion behind an HTTP 200 ([#6427](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6427)) — `validateResponseQuality()` (`open-sse/services/combo/validateQuality.ts`) only inspected the response body's top-level `error` field when `choices` was ALSO missing/empty (the narrower #3424 empty-completion case); a masked 200 that echoed a non-empty stub `choices` alongside a structured error object, or a known exhaustion phrase (e.g. "insufficient credits", "quota exceeded") in the error envelope, slipped through as "valid" and the combo kept returning the dead target's response forever instead of failing over. The quality check now inspects the error envelope — a top-level OpenAI-shape `error` object, or a bounded, case-insensitive exhaustion-phrase match against `error.message`/`error.code`/`error.type`/top-level `message`/`detail` — unconditionally, before any shape-specific branch, and regardless of whether `choices`/`output` also look structurally present. The check never inspects `choices[].message.content`, so a legitimate completion that merely mentions "quota" or "credits" in assistant prose is not misclassified. Regression guard: `tests/unit/masked-200-exhaustion-fallback-6427.test.ts`.
+- **fix(security):** fail-closed CORS for the cookie/session-authed cloud-agent management routes — `getCloudAgentCorsHeaders()` reflected any caller's `Origin` and paired it with `Allow-Credentials: true` (a CSRF/exfil hole); it now defers to the central allowlist (`resolveAllowedOrigin`), echoes only an allowlisted origin with `Vary: Origin`, and emits `Allow-Credentials` only for an explicitly allowlisted origin — never for a `CORS_ALLOW_ALL` wildcard echo. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloud-agent-cors-failclosed.test.ts`. ([#6543](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6543)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(compression):** adaptive-compression ladder ranked 6 real catalog engines (`ccr`, `ionizer`, `relevance`, `llmlingua`, `llm`, `read-lifecycle`) as if they didn't exist ([#6533](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6533)) — `ladder.ts`'s `AGGRESSIVENESS` and `REDUCTION_FACTOR` maps only covered the 7 engines wired into `DEFAULT_LADDER` (session-dedup/rtk/headroom/lite/caveman/aggressive/ultra); every other engine registered in `open-sse/services/compression/engines/index.ts` — including `ccr`/`llmlingua`, which the ladder doc comment already says are intentionally addable via `ladderOverride` — fell through to `aggressivenessOf()`'s `?? 0` default (same rank as `"off"`) and `expectedReductionFactor()`'s generic `?? 0.9` fallback, so `floor`-mode escalation could not rank or escalate past them once added to a custom ladder. Both maps now carry entries for all 6 missing real engines, rescaled ×10 (`off:0` … `ultra:70`) and placed by each engine's documented `stackPriority` (`ionizer` between `rtk`/`headroom`, `relevance` before `caveman`, `llmlingua`/`llm` between `aggressive` and `ultra`, etc.); `mcpAccessibility` — named in the report — is not a registered `CompressionEngine` (it's a separate MCP tool-response truncation mechanism) and was correctly left out. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ladder-engine-maps-6533.test.ts` (asserts every id from `listCompressionEngines()` ranks above `"off"` with a non-default reduction factor). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** tool-call arguments could render as `[object Object]` sequences instead of the real JSON through the `/anthropic` (Anthropic-shape `/messages`) routing path ([#6459](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6459)) — `appendToolCallArgumentDelta()` (`open-sse/utils/toolCallArguments.ts`), the shared accumulator the streaming `openai-to-claude` response translator, `openai-responses` translator, and `responsesTransformer` all call to build up a tool call's `arguments`/`input_json_delta` buffer, treated any non-string `incoming` fragment as an empty string. Some upstreams deliver the full `tool_calls[].function.arguments` value as an already-parsed JSON object/array instead of the OpenAI-contracted JSON-encoded string; the old code silently discarded that fragment, leaving `tool_use.input` empty, and left downstream buffers open to a plain string coercion of the object (`[object Object]`) once client-side concatenation kicked in. `appendToolCallArgumentDelta()` now `JSON.stringify()`s a non-string, non-null object/array fragment into a valid JSON fragment instead of dropping it, so the assembled `partial_json` always parses back into the original structured value. Regression guard: `tests/unit/anthropic-toolcall-args-6459.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(providers):** `fusion` combo returned the opaque `"All fusion panel models failed"` 503 even when only a minority of panel members were actually cooling down / rate-limited, and a user-supplied `fusionTuning.minPanel=1` was silently overridden ([#6454](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6454)) — `handleFusionChat()` hard-clamped the quorum floor via `Math.min(Math.max(2, cfg.minPanel), panel.length)`, so an operator-configured `minPanel=1` never took effect: `collectPanel()`'s straggler-grace timer only starts once `ok >= minPanel`, and with the floor forced to 2 a single fast success plus N slow-failing stragglers never reached quorum, so the panel sat waiting instead of degrading to the survivor. Per-member failure reasons (`straggler_dropped`/`timeout`/`threw`/`status_XXX`/`empty_content`/`unparseable`) were also logged server-side but never surfaced in the 503 body, leaving operators unable to tell a rate-limit fan-fail from a broader outage. Fixed by honoring `Math.max(1, cfg.minPanel)` and threading a `failures: Array<{ model, reason }>` collector into the 503 message (`model=reason` per entry) — production fix already merged via #6521; this entry backfills the missing CHANGELOG bullet and adds an 11-member, `fusion-free`-scale regression test matching the original repro shape (a cooling minority must not sink a healthy majority; a genuinely all-failed panel still returns the documented 503). Regression guard: `tests/unit/services/fusion-min-panel-and-failure-detail.test.ts` + `tests/unit/fusion-partial-panel-failure-6454.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(providers):** `fusion` combo strategy silently returned a panel member's raw answer instead of the configured `config.judgeModel` synthesis ([#6455](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6455)) — `handleFusionChat()`'s single-survivor "degrade gracefully" path (added for #6454) returned the lone panel answer directly whenever only one panelist succeeded, regardless of whether an explicit `judgeModel` was configured; with the default `minPanel: 2` and a 2-model panel, any single flaky/rate-limited panelist forced this path on every request, so the configured judge (e.g. `auto/claude-opus`) was never invoked and the client-visible `.model` reflected whichever panelist happened to survive. The judge is now still invoked to synthesize a lone surviving answer whenever `judgeModel` is explicitly configured; the cheap direct-answer shortcut is kept only for the implicit case (no `judgeModel` set, where the "judge" is just `panel[0]`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/fusion-judge-model-6455.test.ts` + updated `tests/unit/combo-fusion-strategy.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(combo):** sanitized diagnostic trace on an auto-combo terminal failure — instead of an opaque 503, a terminal combo failure now returns a whitelist-projected trace (candidate pool size, attempted count, excluded provider/reason codes, attempt order, and a terminal-reason code) via the new `errorResponseWithComboDiagnostics()`/`sanitizeComboDiagnostics()` in `open-sse/utils/error.ts` — provider/model ids and enumerated reason codes only, never keys/tokens/bodies, length- and count-capped. A reasoning-budget-exhausted panel now returns an actionable "increase max_tokens" message rather than a blind retry-limit 503. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-diagnostics-trace.test.ts`. ([#6545](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6545)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** image/diffusion models discovered from an upstream catalog (e.g. HuggingFace's live `/v1/models`) are no longer advertised as chat models ([#6457](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6457)) — the chat catalog builder defaulted synced models with no modality info to `endpoints: ["chat"]`, so `huggingface/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0` showed up in the chat `/v1/models` listing and returned `400 "not a chat model"` when called. `catalog.ts` now skips any synced model already registered as an image model for that provider (via the new `isRegisteredImageModel()`), leaving `getAllImageModels()` to list it with the correct `type: "image"`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/image-model-not-in-chat-catalog-6457.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** combo session stickiness never released a pin on a credits-exhausted/banned/expired account, permanently defeating failover for that conversation ([#6692](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6692)) — `applySessionStickiness()` (`open-sse/services/combo/sessionStickiness.ts`) gated the sticky pin only on 5h/weekly usage-percentage headroom, which is orthogonal to account availability: a `credits_exhausted`/`banned`/`expired` connection, or one still inside its `rateLimitedUntil` cooldown, reports perfectly healthy headroom, so the pin was force-promoted back to the front of the target list on every subsequent turn. `clearStickyBinding()` also had zero call sites in `combo.ts`'s failure paths, so a quality-validation-rejected 200 (a masked daily-cap refusal) never released the pin either. The gate now also resolves the bound connection's terminal status/cooldown via a new injectable fetcher seam (fail-open on lookup errors, mirroring the existing saturation fetcher), and `combo.ts`'s two dispatchers (`handleComboChat`/`handleRoundRobinCombo`) release the pin immediately at both their connection-exhaustion classification point and their quality-validation-failure branch via the new `releaseStickyPinOnFailure()`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6692-sticky-terminal.test.ts` + extended `tests/unit/combo-session-stickiness.test.ts`.
+- **fix(test):** replace the bare `expect(true).toBe(true)` tautology in `playground-api-tab.test.tsx`'s SSE test and close the `check:test-masking` gap that let it slip through for a full cycle ([#6404](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6404)) — a prior pass (#6548) had already swapped the literal to `expect(sendBtn).toBeDefined()`, but that stayed just as vacuous: the test's fetch mock returned an empty `/v1/models` list, so `ApiTab`'s Send button is always `disabled` (`!selectedModel`) and the SSE branch never runs — the "SSE infra is verified" comment was never true. The test now mocks a real model, drives the model `<select>` to enable Send, asserts `sendBtn.disabled === false` before clicking, and asserts the streamed SSE delta (`"Hello!"`) actually reached the response editor. Root cause on the detector side: `check-test-masking.mjs`'s tautology subcheck only compares base-vs-HEAD counts within a PR's own diff (`headExtTaut > baseExtTaut`) and no-ops locally when `GITHUB_BASE_SHA`/`GITHUB_BASE_REF` are unset ("sem base ref — pulando") — so a tautology merged once, or checked with a bare local run, was invisible forever after. Added a new always-on, PR-independent absolute-floor scan (`scanBareTautologies` + `countBareTautologies`) over every git-tracked test file for the bare `expect(true).toBe(true)` / `assert.equal(1,1)` / `assert.strictEqual(1,1)` patterns specifically (deliberately excluding `assert.ok(true)`, which has ~15 pre-existing verified-legitimate try/catch-fallback uses repo-wide and stays governed by the lenient diff-only subcheck) — verified zero pre-existing hits repo-wide once this file was fixed, so the new floor is safe to enforce unconditionally. Regression guard: `tests/unit/check-test-masking.test.ts` (new `scanBareTautologies`/`countBareTautologies` cases) + `tests/unit/ui/playground-api-tab.test.tsx`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(oauth):** Codex/ChatGPT (and every other OAuth provider) connection stays stuck showing "Auth Failed" even after a genuinely successful token refresh ([#6352](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6352)) — `updateProviderCredentials()` (the shared `onPersist` callback for the manual "Refresh token" route, the reactive per-request refresh in `chat.ts`, and the Codex/Claude auth-file importers) correctly reused the stored `refresh_token`, persisted the new `access_token`, and replaced a rotated `refresh_token`, but never cleared the stale `testStatus`/`lastError*`/`errorCode` fields left over from a prior expired/invalid refresh or upstream 401/403 — only the separate background health-check sweep did that clearing. A successful refresh now resets `testStatus` to `"active"` and clears `lastError`, `lastErrorAt`, `lastErrorType`, `lastErrorSource`, and `errorCode` (an explicit `testStatus` from the caller still wins). Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-oauth-refresh-persist-6352.test.ts`.
+- **perf(health):** short-TTL (1s) cache for the frequently-polled `GET /api/monitoring/health` payload — rebuilding it every request (DB reads + status aggregation across 8 subsystems) was wasteful under rapid polling; the cache stays near-real-time and is invalidated immediately on `DELETE` (circuit-breaker reset) so a manual reset is reflected at once. Regression guard: `tests/integration/monitoring-health-cache.test.ts`. ([#6553](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6553)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(resilience):** `headroom` combo routing did not always select the Codex account with the most free quota ([#6379](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6379)) — `orderTargetsByHeadroom` (`open-sse/services/combo/quotaStrategies.ts`) already loaded the per-connection DB snapshot (with decrypted credentials) via `expandTargetsByQuotaAwareConnections`, but discarded it before calling `getSaturation`; for Codex, `fetchCodexSaturation` forwards straight to `fetchCodexQuota(connectionId, connection)`, which needs `connection` (or a prior `registerCodexConnection()` call, which never happens before headroom ranking runs) to read `accessToken` — so it returned `null` for every candidate, saturation failed open to `0` across the board, and ranking fell back to the original combo order regardless of actual free quota. `getSaturation()` and the headroom `SaturationFetcher` seam now accept and thread the loaded connection snapshot through to `fetchCodexQuota`. Kilo's dup flag vs #5903 was a false positive — that issue is about session-sticky reset-aware/least-used selection, not headroom's Codex saturation lookup. Regression guard: `tests/unit/headroom-codex-quota-snapshot-6379.test.ts`. (thanks @eidoog)
+- **fix(providers):** custom models a provider actually has are no longer dropped from the Free Provider Rankings when both **"Configured only"** and **"Available only"** filters are applied ([#6368](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6368)), follow-up to #6150 — `freeProviderRankings.ts::getProviderModels()` only ever walked the static `open-sse/config/providerRegistry.ts` catalog, so a user-added custom model (e.g. a Puter `claude-fable-5` model saved as "Claude Fable 5") never entered the candidate model list the ranking scores against, and could never survive the #6150 configured/available filters even when actually configured and available. It now additively merges the provider's custom models (`db/models.ts::getCustomModels`) into that candidate list via a new pure, de-duping `mergeProviderModels()` helper, before scoring/filtering runs — catalog free/paid filtering elsewhere is untouched. Regression guard: `tests/unit/free-provider-rankings-custom-models-6368.test.ts`. (thanks @shabeer)
+- **fix(playground):** accept a valid dashboard session for `GET/POST /api/playground/presets` under `REQUIRE_API_KEY=true` — the Playground page calls this route with a cookie/session and no API key, which previously 401'd the authenticated dashboard; `checkAuth()` now accepts a management/dashboard session (`requireManagementAuth`) as an alternative to an API key, while a presented API key must still be valid and the anonymous-allowed default is preserved. Regression guard: `tests/integration/presets-dashboard-auth.test.ts`. ([#6554](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6554)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** `cloudflare-ai` no longer silently drops image/non-text content parts ([#6390](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6390)) — `transformRequest()`'s `flattenContent()` (added for #2539 to satisfy the Workers AI `/ai/v1/chat/completions` plain-string `content` requirement) mapped any non-text OpenAI content part (e.g. `image_url`) to `""` and joined the rest, so a request carrying an image quietly went out as text-only with the attachment gone and no error surfaced. It now throws a clear error on the first non-text part instead of dropping it silently, which the existing top-level `chatCore.ts` catch already routes through `buildErrorBody()`/`sanitizeErrorMessage()` (same pattern as `buildUrl()`'s missing-Account-ID error). Regression guard: `tests/unit/cloudflare-ai-image-parts-6390.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** stop Antigravity connections from falsely reporting **all-accounts quota-exhausted** ([#6295](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6295)) — `genericQuotaFetcher.ts::percentUsedForQuota()` ignored the `fractionReported` flag and defaulted an unreported model's `remainingPercentage` to 0, which computed as 100% used; since `convertUsageToQuotaInfo()` takes the worst-case window across a connection, a single model with no reported fraction dragged the whole account into `limitReached` and `quotaPreflight` skipped it. `percentUsedForQuota()` now returns `null` (unknown, window ignored) whenever `fractionReported === false`, before falling back to `remainingPercentage`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/generic-quota-fetcher.test.ts`.
+- **fix(fusion):** the fusion judge no longer replays a panel member's answer via an idempotency-key collision — fusion's panel + judge sub-requests re-enter `chatCore` sharing the client's headers, so they derived the same `Idempotency-Key`/`x-request-id` and a panel answer saved under the key was replayed by the judge's check ~1ms later (inside the 5s window), returning a panel member's answer instead of the judge synthesis (observed live on `nexa/conversation-fusion`). `composeIdempotencyKey()` now namespaces the key by target provider/model + a digest of the request messages, so sub-requests can't collide while a genuine client retry (same key/model/body) still replays. Regression guard: `tests/unit/idempotency-fusion-collision.test.ts`. ([#6558](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6558)) — see PR. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(providers):** grok-cli (Grok Build) now strips `reasoning_effort`/`reasoning` before forwarding the request ([#6288](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6288)) — Claude Code sends `reasoning_effort` on every request (routing the Opus slot), which Grok Build's upstream chat-proxy endpoint rejects with a 400; `transformRequest()`'s existing `UNSUPPORTED` sampling-param strip list (#5273) never covered it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/grok-cli-reasoning-strip-6288.test.ts`.
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute serve` no longer hangs silently on a readiness timeout ([#6321](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6321)) — the child server's stdout was piped to `"ignore"` whenever `--log`/`OMNIROUTE_SHOW_LOG` wasn't set (the default), discarding any debug output, and `runWithSupervisor`'s `waitForServer(...).then((up) => { if (up) {...} })` had no `else` branch, so a boot that never became ready produced zero further output after "⏳ Starting server...". Stdout is now buffered alongside stderr (`ServerSupervisor.getRecentLog()`), and a timeout prints a clear diagnostic plus the buffered output instead of staying silent. Does not by itself explain why boot never completes on a given machine — see the issue for further reproduction. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli-serve-readiness-timeout-6321.test.ts`.
+- **fix(pricing):** Pricing Sync dashboard no longer stuck on "Next Sync: Never" / "Synced Models: 0" ([#6325](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6325)) — `pricingSync.ts` kept sync state (`lastSyncTime`, `lastSyncModelCount`) in module-level vars, but the background periodic sync (`instrumentation-node.ts`) and the dashboard status route (`/api/pricing/sync`) each import the module from separate Next.js standalone webpack chunks, giving each its own independent state; `getSyncStatus()` read the (empty) API-route instance's vars. Sync status is now additionally persisted to a new `pricing_sync_status` `key_value` namespace and `getSyncStatus()` falls back to it when the local module instance never ran a sync itself. Regression guard: `tests/unit/pricing-sync-cross-instance.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** stop spuriously 403-ing "Invalid request origin" on `POST /api/providers/health-autopilot/actions` for Docker/LAN dashboard requests ([#6277](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6277)) — the route carried a duplicate per-route `validateBrowserMutationOrigin` check re-added by the v3.8.42 release squash after PR #5278 centralized origin enforcement in the authz pipeline; the pipeline strips `PEER_IP_HEADER` before forwarding, so the stale duplicate check could no longer resolve the LAN "direct-local-host" candidate and rejected legitimate same-origin LAN mutations (e.g. clicking "remove cooldown" when accessed via a LAN IP). Removed the duplicate check — origin validation is now solely enforced by the centralized pipeline check, which already handles this case correctly. Regression guard: `tests/unit/serial/provider-health-autopilot.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** a bare, unrecognized `403` from a no-credential (`authType:"none"`) provider like mimocode or theoldllm no longer permanently bans the connection ([#6315](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6315), [#6345](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6345)) — `classifyProviderError()`'s 403 branch only exempted `apikey` providers from the terminal `FORBIDDEN` classification, so these free/stateless proxies (no real account/credential to revoke) fell through to `FORBIDDEN` on the first unmatched 403 and got `isActive:false, testStatus:"banned"` with no cooldown or retry. The exemption now also covers `authType:"none"` providers, returning `null` (recoverable) so the existing connection-cooldown/retry layer handles it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/errorClassifier-noauth-403-6315.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** the **Auggie (Augment CLI)** executor no longer fails on Windows with `spawn EINVAL` ([#6304](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6304)) — the global-npm install exposes `auggie` as a `.cmd` shim, which Node's `child_process.spawn` cannot launch on win32 without `shell: true`. Both spawn sites (streaming + the `auggie --version` test) now go through a shared `buildAuggieSpawnOptions()` that sets `shell: process.platform === "win32"`; the argv (built by `buildAuggieArgs()` with a registry-validated `model` and a trailing `--` end-of-options marker) is unchanged, so the argument-injection surface stays closed on non-Windows. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auggie-win32-spawn-6304.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** the dashboard **"Test model"** action is now a clean connection test ([#6240](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6240)) — `modelTestRunner` sent its probe request without an explicit compression override, so whenever the operator's global `compression.enabled` flag was on the test call inherited compression (and any Output-Styles system prompt), polluting the result. The internal test requests now send `X-OmniRoute-Compression: off`, and `chatCore` honors an explicit `off` header even when `compression.enabled` is globally true. Regression guards: `tests/unit/model-test-runner-compression-off-6240.test.ts`, `tests/integration/test-model-compression-off-6240.test.ts`.
+- **fix(startup):** an update/restart could crash the whole server at boot with `TypeError: Cannot create property 'message' on string 'Database closed'`, masking the real failure and 500-ing every request until manually restarted ([#6560](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6560), plausibly the root cause of #6594's post-upgrade 500) — `driverFactory.ts::preInitSqlJs()` cached its sql.js WASM adapter per file path in a `globalThis`-backed map for idempotency, but never checked whether the cached adapter had since been closed (e.g. by `gracefulShutdown`/`resetDbInstance` racing a reload); reusing that dead handle made the very next query throw sql.js's own bare string `"Database closed"` (not an `Error`) straight out of `instrumentation-node.ts`'s previously-unguarded `ensureDbInitialized()` call, and Next.js's internal `registerInstrumentation()` wrapper unconditionally does `err.message = ...` on whatever `register()` rejects with — assigning `.message` on a primitive string throws in strict mode, so the secondary `TypeError` is what actually crashed the process. Fixed in two parts: `preInitSqlJs()` now evicts a closed cached adapter and creates a fresh one instead of returning it; a new `ensureDbReadyForBoot()` wraps the DB-init call, normalizes any non-Error throw via `normalizeBootError()`, and retries once specifically for a transient "database closed" message (now succeeding against the fresh adapter) before re-throwing anything else as a real `Error`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/instrumentation-database-closed-6560.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/keys` no longer hangs 20–90+ seconds on a fresh install, even with valid auth ([#6570](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6570)) — `cloudEnabled` defaults to `true` in `src/lib/db/settings.ts::getSettings()` on any install with no persisted settings row (i.e. every fresh install), so the create-key handler's unconditional `await syncKeysToCloudIfEnabled()` always attempted a real outbound `fetch()` to `CLOUD_URL` via `syncToCloud()`; when that endpoint is unset/unreachable/slow, the HTTP response blocked until the request settled or timed out — unlike sibling routes (`POST /api/keys/:id/regenerate`, `GET /api/combos`), which never touch this side effect at all. `src/app/api/keys/route.ts` now dispatches `syncKeysToCloudIfEnabled()` fire-and-forget (`void`) instead of awaiting it; its internal try/catch already logs failures, so cloud sync still runs, it just no longer blocks the response. Regression guard: `tests/unit/api-keys-create-no-hang-6570.test.ts` (asserts the route resolves in well under 2s even when the Cloud-sync `fetch()` is stubbed to never settle) + updated `tests/integration/api-keys.test.ts` (the pre-existing "triggers cloud sync"/"still succeeds when cloud sync fails" tests, which previously hung indefinitely on this exact path, now await the fire-and-forget sync tick before asserting).
+- **fix(api):** editing any existing OpenAI Codex provider connection in the dashboard returned "Invalid request" and the edit could never be saved ([#6562](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6562)) — `createProviderConnection()` (`src/lib/db/providers.ts`) auto-increments a new connection's `priority` to `MAX(priority)+1` per provider with no upper bound, and OAuth-imported connections (Codex `codex-auth/import` / `import-bulk`, up to 50 accounts per call, callable repeatedly — the standard Codex bulk-account-rotation workflow) never pass through `createProviderSchema`'s Zod validation at all, so nothing ever capped that value; `EditConnectionModal`'s `handleSubmit` always resends the connection's current `priority` unchanged on every save, and `updateProviderConnectionSchema` capped `priority`/`globalPriority` at `max(100)` — a UI-only ceiling the create path never enforced — so the first edit of any connection whose priority had already grown past 100 (routine once a Codex account count exceeds 100) failed validation regardless of which field the user actually changed. Raised the ceiling to `max(100_000)` on both fields — still bounded (a genuinely out-of-range value is still rejected), just wide enough to accept priorities the app itself already produces. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-connection-edit-6562.test.ts` (a Codex OAuth connection whose priority already exceeds the old 100 cap now validates + persists on edit; a control payload with a still-genuinely-invalid priority is still rejected with "Invalid request").
+- **mimocode**: rotate accounts on MiMoCode's rate-limit-style 400s (body-classified) instead of failing on the first account; malformed 400s still fail fast with the real upstream error (#6648 — thanks @pizzav-xyz)
+- **fix(cli):** compression CLI REST fallback now reads/writes the canonical `defaultMode` field (surfaced as `strategy`) instead of a nonexistent `engine` key, and table output renders nested objects as JSON instead of `[object Object]` (#6571 — thanks @charleszolot)
+- **fix(providers):** web-cookie providers without a `providerRegistry.ts` entry (`lmarena`, `gemini-business`, `poe-web`, `venice-web`, `v0-vercel-web`) now report `unsupported: true` instead of silently "OK" ([#6309](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6309)) — `validateWebCookieProvider()` (`src/lib/providers/validation.ts`) previously required a registry entry and returned "Provider not found in registry" for these; a fallback to `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS[provider].website` was proposed, but live verification showed the `${website}/models` probe does not reliably signal session validity for these providers (redirects/SPA 200s regardless of cookie validity — e.g. lmarena's real API is `arena.ai`, not `lmarena.ai`; Poe's real endpoint is a GraphQL POST, not a REST `/models`), so it would report an expired or garbage cookie as valid. Until each provider has a verified, side-effect-free auth probe against its real API host, the fallback now returns `unsupported` (no network call) instead of a false positive. Regression guard: `tests/unit/web-cookie-validation-fallback.test.ts`. (thanks @oyi77)
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/middleware/hooks` and `PUT /api/middleware/hooks/[name]` no longer leak raw internal error messages in their 500 responses (#6645 — thanks @chirag127) — both catch blocks returned `error?.message` directly (Hard Rule #12), which could surface internal SQLite path fragments on a DB failure; both now route through `sanitizeErrorMessage()` from `open-sse/utils/error.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/middleware-hooks-error-sanitization.test.ts`.
+- **fix(docker):** compile better-sqlite3 for the server Docker image (Dokploy/self-hosted builds) via a direct `node-gyp rebuild` inside `node_modules/better-sqlite3`, instead of `npm rebuild better-sqlite3` ([#6700](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6700)) — the `builder` stage installs dependencies with `npm ci --ignore-scripts` (deliberate: closes the supply-chain surface where a transitive dep's install script runs arbitrary code) and re-enables the native build for the one package that needs it; `npm rebuild <pkg>` re-runs that indirectly through the package's own install script, which under npm 11 depends on npm's script-allowlist machinery correctly re-enabling it — some self-hosted build environments (e.g. Dokploy) hit a broken/mismatched native binding through that indirection. Invoking `node-gyp rebuild` directly bypasses npm's script-running layer entirely and is deterministic regardless of npm version. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dockerfile-better-sqlite3-node-gyp-6700.test.ts`. (thanks @nowhats-br)
+- **fix(providers):** the Cloudflare relay Worker deploy fix in #6416/#6618 still failed uploads in practice — it changed the multipart Content-Type but kept the emitted worker source as an ES module (`export default { fetch(...) }`) with `main_module` metadata; Cloudflare's Workers upload API parses a plain `application/javascript` script part as Service Worker syntax regardless of the `main_module` metadata field, and `main_module` requires the script to actually be an ES module (top-level `export`), so the mismatch still rejected the upload ([#6496](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6496)). `buildCloudflareWorkerScript()` (`src/lib/proxyRelay/cloudflareWorkerScript.ts`) now emits Service Worker syntax (`addEventListener("fetch", ...)`, no top-level `export`) and the upload metadata uses `body_part` instead of `main_module`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/relay-deploy-5128.test.ts` (asserts the emitted script has no `export default`, registers a `fetch` listener, and the upload metadata carries `body_part`/omits `main_module`; also proves the inlined `isPrivateHostname()` SSRF guard still rejects bracketed IPv6 loopback/ULA hosts like `[::1]`/`[fd00::1]` after the script-body rewrite). (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **fix(providers):** ChatGPT Web (`chatgpt-web`) responses rendered raw ChatGPT UI citation markup — private-use marker tokens (e.g. `citeturn0search0`) and `url…` inline-link markers — instead of real Markdown links, since these only ever get resolved client-side by chatgpt.com's own JS using `message.metadata.content_references` ([#6635](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6635)) — `cleanChatGptText()` now resolves `content_references` (grouped webpages, footnote sources, inline `webpage`/`url` mentions) into `[label](url)` Markdown links for both the streaming and non-streaming response builders, and for the GPT-5.5 Pro `stream_handoff` polled-answer path, falling back to stripping any marker that has no resolvable source instead of leaking the raw private-use bytes. The citation parsing/rendering logic was extracted into a new pure sibling module (`open-sse/executors/chatgpt-web/citations.ts`) to keep the executor under the frozen file-size cap. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chatgpt-web-citations.test.ts` (non-streaming citation resolution, streaming marker buffering across split SSE chunks, and the Pro-handoff polled-answer path). (thanks @Thinkscape)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the live-dashboard WebSocket descriptor handshake (`GET /api/v1/ws?handshake=1`) and the lightweight `GET /api/health/ping` liveness probe both 401'd for unauthenticated callers, even though both are metadata-only reads intended to be public ([#6335](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6335)) — `clientApiPolicy` required a bearer/dashboard-session before the WS route handler could even return its own `wsAuth`/protocol descriptor, and `/api/health/ping` was never added to `PUBLIC_READONLY_API_ROUTE_PREFIXES` despite its own docstring documenting it as "No auth required." `clientApiPolicy.evaluate()` now allows an anonymous `{kind:"anonymous", id:"ws-handshake"}` subject for GET/HEAD/OPTIONS on `/api/v1/ws?handshake=1` (the route handler still performs its own real wsAuth/dashboard/API-key decision before opening the socket), and `/api/health/ping` is now in `PUBLIC_READONLY_API_ROUTE_PREFIXES`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/authz/client-api-policy.test.ts` (WS handshake allowed, including relative request URLs), `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`, and `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts` (`/api/health/ping` classified `PUBLIC`). (thanks @JxnLexn)
+- fix(providers): wire the Devin cloud-agent provider into the generic provider-page validator and static model catalog, matching the existing `jules` cloud-agent pattern (#6142)
+- fix(providers): honor a provider-level proxy assigned to no-auth providers like MiMoCode Free (#6272)
+- fix(api): merge tool_call continuation deltas that carry only `id` (no `index`) so tool-call arguments are no longer split/lost in request/response logs (#6276)
+- **fix(providers):** modernize the `lmarena` provider for the Arena.ai rebrand — route chat through `arena.ai` create-evaluation with Chrome TLS impersonation, seed a static Direct-chat Text/Search + Image catalog, and keep the `lmarena`/`lma` wire id for back-compat ([#6280](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6280)) — thanks @backryun
+- **fix(providers):** web-provider model discovery updated — qwen-web uses the slash-terminated models endpoint (avoiding a blocked 307 redirect), and kimi-web matches the current request shape (POST with bearer + `kimi-auth` cookie replay) with its catalog refreshed to the current non-agent models (#6308 — thanks @janeza2).
+- **fix(logs):** the request-log detail modal no longer reopens by itself after being closed — a stale in-flight detail refresh resolved after close and re-triggered the modal open state (#6323 — thanks @xz-dev).
+- **fix(providers):** update SenseNova Token Plan support — register the token-plan model ids/constants and adjust the SenseNova registry so token-plan accounts route correctly (#6330 — thanks @xz-dev).
+- fix(providers): give v0-vercel-web its own alias so its credentials are detected (#6343)
+- fix(providers): route AgentRouter key validation through the CC wire image so a valid key no longer 403s as "Invalid API key" (#6377)
+- fix(db): stop legacy log-archive migration from deleting the live app-logger directory and crashing startup on a stat/stream race (#6401, #6799)
+- fix(docs): document Turbopack build memory tradeoff and `OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=0` webpack fallback for RAM-constrained machines (#6409)
+- fix(compression): surface silently-dropped stacked-pipeline steps (session-dedup, ccr) and stop the aggregate inflation guard from misfiring on a genuine no-op (#6479, #6480, #6491)
+- fix(providers): honor the `max_token` capability override in the reasoning-token-buffer output cap (#6524)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the onboarding tier-flow diagram rendered broken — its SVGs lived in the repo-root `images/` (not a served path); moved to `public/images/` so Next.js serves them (#6538 — thanks @ianriizky).
+- **fix(routing):** the `auto` combo's no-auth candidate pool now honors a disabled provider connection's own `isActive=false` (the toggle on the main Providers grid card), not just the separate global `blockedProviders` setting — disabling opencode/mimocode/etc. via the grid toggle no longer leaves it in rotation ([#6557](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6557)).
+- **fix(sse):** server-tool literal names (e.g. `web_search`) are preserved in message history and `tool_choice` instead of being namespaced/rewritten, so follow-up turns referencing those tools keep working (#6586 — thanks @MikeTuev).
+- fix(api): recognize OpenRouter reasoning/reasoning_details in non-streaming OpenAI-to-Claude conversion (#6623)
+- fix(db): share one in-flight sql.js load across concurrent `preInitSqlJs()` callers to stop the boot-time thundering-herd re-decode of the whole database file (#6628)
+- fix(db): unwrap lone named-parameter objects before `sql.js` `stmt.bind()` so `@`/`:`/`$`-style named placeholders bind correctly instead of throwing "Wrong API use" (#6802)
+- **fix(db): break probe-failed/restore loop on large storage.sqlite** (#6632 — thanks @KooshaPari).
+- fix(ci): exclude check-test-masking.test.ts's own tautology fixtures from the diff-based test-masking gate and recognize `✗` in validate-release-green's failure-line detector (#6634)
+- fix(routing): recognize Kimi-style "exceeded model token limit" 400 as context overflow so combo fallback continues to the next target (#6637)
+- **fix(cli):** Claude Code installed via WinGet is now detected on Windows (the WinGet install path was missing from the binary lookup) (#6647 — thanks @enjoyer-hub).
+- **fix(providers):** removed obsolete/defunct providers from the catalog (glhf, kluster, cablyai, inclusionai) (#6675 — thanks @backryun).
+- **fix(sse):** requests rejected before `handleChatCore` (circuit-breaker/cooldown gate or combo with all targets exhausted) are now recorded in `usage_history` too, so a key whose traffic was entirely gate-rejected no longer shows "zero requests" in the per-API-key usage counter (#6698).
+- **fix(sse):** unwrap bare `{function:{…}}` tools so OpenAI-shape clients no longer have tools silently dropped in Claude translation. (thanks @samir-abis)
+- **fix(oauth):** stop merging distinct Codex OAuth logins that share an email but lack a verifiable account id, preventing silent token overwrite. (thanks @lucasjustinudin)
+- **fix(codex):** detect "model at capacity"/overloaded errors embedded in a 200-OK SSE stream and surface them as a real error so account fallback rotates, instead of passing them through as a successful response. (thanks @ryanngit)
+- **fix(volcengine):** clamp `max_tokens` to the VolcEngine Ark endpoint cap for the Kimi model so oversized values no longer 400. (thanks @whale9820)
+- **fix(antigravity):** surface aborted/malformed Gemini tool calls (e.g. `MALFORMED_FUNCTION_CALL`) as an explicit non-`end_turn` finish reason instead of a silent clean completion. (thanks @anhdiepmmk)
+- **fix(routing):** the reasoning-token headroom buffer clamps to the model's explicit output cap instead of inflating past it, and `getExplicitModelOutputCap` falls through to the registry/spec cap when a synced capability row exists without a numeric `limit_output` ([#6714](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6714)) — thanks @xz-dev
+- **fix(api):** `omniroute health` (and `health components`/`health watch`) returned `Error: HTTP 404` ([#6677](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6677)) — `bin/cli/commands/health.mjs` called `apiFetch("/api/health", ...)`, a route that was moved to `GET /api/monitoring/health` (`src/app/api/monitoring/health/route.ts`) without updating the CLI; `src/app/api/health/` on disk only has `degradation/route.ts` and `ping/route.ts`, no top-level handler. `runHealthCommand()`/`runHealthComponentsCommand()` now call `/api/monitoring/health` and read its actual payload shape (`activeConnections`, `circuitBreakers: {open, halfOpen, closed}`, `memoryUsage`) instead of the old, nonexistent `requests`/`breakers`/`cache`/`memory` fields. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli-health-monitoring-route.test.ts`.
+- **fix(startup):** webpack build broke on case-insensitive filesystems (macOS APFS default, Windows) with a casing-collision warning plus "not exported" errors in `StudioConfigPane.tsx`/`ChatTab.tsx` (#6584) — `src/app/(dashboard)/dashboard/playground/components/ReasoningControls.tsx` (the component) and `reasoningControls.ts` (the utils module) shared the same lower-cased stem in the same directory, and two importers used the extensionless form `from "./reasoningControls"`, the exact resolution path that becomes ambiguous once casing is folded. Renamed the utils module to `reasoningControlUtils.ts` (no collision) and updated the 3 import sites. Regression guard: `tests/unit/case-collision-6584.test.ts` (scans `src/`/`open-sse/` for any same-directory, case-only filename collision). (#6584)
+- **fix(build):** Turbopack production build emitted an "Overly broad patterns can lead to build performance issues" warning per entry point importing `src/lib/agentSkills/generator.ts` (603 warnings reported on v3.8.46, up from 379 on v3.8.45) ([#6582](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6582)) — `generator.ts`'s `outputBase` is built as `path.isAbsolute(outputDir) ? outputDir : path.join(process.cwd(), outputDir)`, where `outputDir` is a runtime function parameter, not a compile-time literal, so Turbopack's build-time file-tracing analyzer can't statically narrow the several dynamic `readdirSync`/`rmSync`/`readFileSync`/`writeFileSync` call sites a few lines below and falls back to a project-wide glob; #6366's commit message claimed to "anchor the base path with a literal" but the shipped code never did. Since this fs access is legitimate and bounded (`skills/<id>/SKILL.md`, ~48 known IDs), `next.config.mjs`'s `turbopack.ignoreIssue` (Next.js 16.2+) now suppresses this specific, known-benign diagnostic, mirroring the existing `webpack.ignoreWarnings`/`isNextIntlExtractorDynamicImportWarning` precedent already in the same file for the webpack path. Regression guard: `tests/unit/next-config.test.ts` (asserts the `turbopack.ignoreIssue` rule shape targeting `src/lib/agentSkills/**`).
+- **fix(providers):** Codex Desktop requests to `gpt-5.3-codex-spark` failed with `[400]: Tool 'image_generation' is not supported with gpt-5.3-codex-spark`, even on paid-plan accounts ([#6651](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6651)) — `CodexExecutor.transformRequest` (`open-sse/executors/codex.ts`) only dropped the Codex Desktop-injected `image_generation` hosted tool when `isCodexFreePlan()` matched the account's plan, with no awareness that Spark-scope Codex models reject `image_generation` upstream regardless of plan. `dropImageGeneration` now also drops it when `getCodexModelScope(model) === "spark"` (the existing Spark classifier from `open-sse/config/codexQuotaScopes.ts`), independent of account plan. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-spark-image-generation.test.ts` (thanks @alltomatos for independently catching and fixing it via #6819).
+- **fix(providers):** the provider quota card's weekly/session bars re-sorted by remaining percentage instead of staying in a fixed, deterministic order ([#6687](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6687)) — `QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`'s `sortQuotasByRemaining()` (added in #5977) was applied unconditionally via `useMemo(() => sortQuotasByRemaining(quotas), [quotas])`, undoing the deterministic `CODEX_QUOTA_ORDER`/`GLM_QUOTA_ORDER` window order `quotaParsing.ts`'s `sortCodexOrder()`/`sortGlmOrder()` (added in #6336) already established for Codex and the GLM family — since #6336 never touched `QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`, the two orderings never composed, so e.g. a Codex `session` window with less headroom than `weekly` rendered after it instead of staying first. A new `hasFixedQuotaOrder()` (`quotaParsing.ts`) and `resolveQuotaDisplayOrder()` (`QuotaCardExpanded.tsx`) now skip the remaining-% re-sort for providers with a fixed window order, threading `providerId` from `QuotaCard.tsx` through to the display layer; every other provider still gets the remaining-% sort. Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-card-expanded-fixed-order-6687.test.ts`.
+- **fix(i18n):** pt-BR was missing 194 UI keys present in `en.json` — a real, silent data-sync gap, not covered by any duplicate/mislabeled #6694 (that issue's 9 `providers.*` keys are disjoint, present-but-untranslated sentinels caused by a separate `providerText()` fallback bug) ([#6695](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6695)) — `scripts/i18n/sync-ui-keys.mjs` (which mirrors newly-added `en.json` keys into every locale) wasn't re-run after recent `en.json` additions, and the CI `i18n:check-ui-coverage` gate only fails a locale below an 80% threshold, so pt-BR stayed green at 93.8% coverage despite the gap. Backfilled all 194 missing keys into `src/i18n/messages/pt-BR.json` (translated to Brazilian Portuguese, no leftover `__MISSING__` markers) via `npm run i18n:sync-ui -- --locale=pt-BR` + manual translation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-pt-br.test.ts` (new case asserting full `en.json`→`pt-BR.json` key parity, so a future drift fails a fast unit test instead of silently degrading the coverage percentage).
+- **fix(startup):** `omniroute --mcp` crashed at Node ESM link time with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND` for `ioredis` on installs where the published MCP bundle didn't happen to have `ioredis` rescued from a parent `node_modules` ([#6559](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6559)) — `src/shared/utils/rateLimiter.ts` had a top-level static `import Redis from "ioredis"`; that module is only ever reached via a lazy `await import(...)` several call-sites deep in the MCP tool chain, but esbuild's `--packages=external` bundling of the MCP server (`scripts/build/prepublish.ts` Step 8.5) still hoisted rateLimiter.ts's own static import into a real top-level ESM import in the compiled `dist/open-sse/mcp-server/server.js`, forcing Node to resolve `ioredis` at module-link time — before any `--mcp` startup code runs — and `ioredis` is not guaranteed to ship in the MCP-only bundle's `node_modules`. `getRedisClient()` now lazily imports `ioredis` on first use (matching the established soft-dependency pattern in `src/lib/quota/redisQuotaStore.ts`) while still throwing synchronously when Redis isn't configured. Regression guard: `tests/unit/build/mcp-bundle-no-eager-ioredis.test.ts` (bundles the real MCP server entrypoint with the exact publish-time esbuild flags and asserts no top-level static `ioredis` import remains, while the pre-existing lazy `await import("ioredis")` in `redisQuotaStore.ts` stays intact).
+- **fix(providers):** Kiro sent the adaptive-thinking `additionalModelRequestFields` envelope for `claude-sonnet-4.5`/`claude-haiku-4.5`, which Kiro/CodeWhisperer rejects upstream with a raw `[400]: additionalModelRequestFields is not supported for this model` ([#6576](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6576)) — `buildKiroPayload()` (`open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-kiro.ts`) gated the field on the generic Anthropic-API `supportsReasoning()` capability flag, which is `true` for both models on Anthropic's direct API but does not reflect what Kiro's CodeWhisperer backend actually accepts; only `claude-sonnet-5` is confirmed adaptive-thinking-capable there. A new Kiro-specific allowlist (`supportsKiroAdaptiveThinking()` in `open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-kiro/adaptiveThinking.ts`) now gates the envelope instead. Regression guard: `tests/unit/repro-6576-kiro-thinking-unsupported-model.test.ts`.
+- **fix(translator):** Cursor's local **Subagent** tool call is no longer rejected with `cloud_base_branch may only be specified when environment equals cloud` — the Responses→Chat tool-arg cleanup (`stripEmptyOptionalToolArgs`) was scoped to Claude Code's `Read` tool only, so Cursor's `Subagent` tool passed through with the cloud-only `cloud_base_branch: ""` (Cursor treats an empty string as "specified" and rejects the call before starting the local subagent). The cleanup now covers an allowlist of `Read` + `Subagent`; arbitrary tools are still left untouched (empty strings/arrays can be valid payloads for them). Regression guard: `tests/unit/openai-responses-subagent-strip-2446.test.ts`. (thanks @like3213934360-lab)
+- **fix(translator):** GLM 5.2 (and other OpenAI-compatible upstreams that stream a tool call's `id` and `function.name` in **separate** SSE chunks) no longer produce an empty tool name / `No such tool available:` error through the Claude `/messages` path — the `openai-to-claude` streaming translator emitted `content_block_start` immediately on the id-only chunk with an empty `name`, and the Claude SSE protocol cannot patch a block after it is emitted, so the later name-only chunk was silently dropped. It now **defers** `content_block_start` until the tool name arrives (falling back to starting the block when arguments arrive first), so the emitted `tool_use` always carries the real name. Regression guard: `tests/unit/openai-to-claude-glm-split-tool-name-2077.test.ts`. (thanks @itiwant)
+- **fix(resilience):** OmniRoute didn't respect an exhausted Ollama Cloud (or any other apikey-category provider) quota — it retried the account seconds later instead of waiting out the real reset window ([#6638](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6638)) — `shouldPreserveQuotaSignalsFor429()`/`checkFallbackError()` (`open-sse/services/accountFallback.ts`) only applied body-text quota classification (daily/monthly/weekly quota-exhausted detection) to OAuth-category providers; apikey-category 429s (Ollama Cloud, OpenAI, etc.) always fell through to the generic short rate-limit cooldown regardless of what the error body said, and `parseRetryFromErrorText()` also had no support for day-granularity reset hints ("Your quota will reset in 3 days.") — only Xh/Ym/Zs combos. An explicit quota-exhausted signal in the body (`looksLikeQuotaExhausted()`) now overrides the apikey-category default via the new `shouldPreserveQuotaSignals()` (`open-sse/services/quotaResetParsing.ts`), and `parseDayGranularityResetMs()` parses whole-day reset countdowns so the real multi-day window is honored instead of a few seconds of backoff. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6638-ollama-quota.test.ts` + 2 aligned `tests/unit/account-fallback-service.test.ts` cases that previously asserted the buggy rate_limit_exceeded/undefined-dailyQuotaExhausted behavior for apikey-provider quota text.
+- **fix(resilience):** a combo step "pinned" to one fingerprint account (mimocode/mcode/opencode multi-account providers) never actually resolved to that account, so it couldn't fail over when the pinned account was depleted ([#6696](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6696), relates #6612) — the combo builder UI encodes an account pin as a composite connectionId (`${rowId}|fp|${fingerprint}`, `src/lib/combos/builderOptions.ts`), but `expandTargetsByFingerprints()` (`open-sse/services/combo/fingerprintExpansion.ts`) looked that composite string up directly in `connectionById` (keyed by real DB row ids), got `undefined`, and passed the target through unchanged, still carrying the bogus composite id — so downstream credential resolution could never match it either. `expandTargetsByFingerprints()` now splits the `|fp|` composite id back into the real connection row id + the pinned fingerprint (new `splitFingerprintPin()` helper) before any lookup, resolving the target to the real connectionId (with the pinned fingerprint carried on the new `pinnedFingerprint` field) instead of the inert composite string. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-fingerprint-pin-6696.test.ts`.
+- **fix(api):** Responses passthrough emitted event-only SSE frames (no `data:` line) for every dropped commentary event, breaking the OpenAI Python SDK's `sse.json()` parser ([#6561](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6561)), follow-up to #6199/#6232 — the commentary-drop `continue;` branches in `open-sse/utils/stream.ts` skipped the `data:` line for a dropped commentary event but never cleared the already-buffered `event:` line for that same frame, so the next blank line flushed the stale `event:` line alone. Both drop sites now call `clearPendingPassthroughEvent()` before `continue`, discarding the buffered prefix along with the dropped payload; the commentary-drop decision itself was extracted into a new `open-sse/utils/responsesCommentaryDrop.ts` so the fix does not grow the frozen `stream.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/responses-commentary-event-frame-6561.test.ts` (realistic `event:\ndata:\n\n` frames — the existing #6199 test only used bare `data:` lines and never exercised this path).
+- **fix(compression):** `/api/compression/preview`'s top-level `originalTokens`/`compressedTokens` diverged from `engineBreakdown[0]`'s counts for the same single-engine run (tiktoken outer counts vs the `JSON.stringify(...).length/4` estimate per engine), worst on small inputs. A new `reconcileSingleEngineTokens()` overwrites the single-engine breakdown entry with the outer, more accurate figures; multi-step pipeline breakdowns are left untouched ([#6488](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6488)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression/preview-outer-engine-token-reconcile-6488.test.ts`.
+- **fix(resilience):** account selection could pick an account already out of quota upstream on every credentialed route except `chat`/`codex` ([#6686](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6686)) — `getProviderCredentials()` (`src/sse/services/auth.ts`) only skips a connection when a *local cache* already flags it exhausted (`isQuotaExhaustedForRequest`/`src/domain/quotaCache.ts`); it never itself calls the registered upstream `QuotaFetcher`. Only `getProviderCredentialsWithQuotaPreflight()` performs that live upstream check, and it was wired into exactly 2 call sites (`src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, `src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts`) — every other credentialed route (`rerank`, `images/generations`, `images/edits`, `audio/transcriptions|speech|translations`, `videos/generations`, `music/generations`, `ocr`, `providers/[provider]/embeddings`, `providers/[provider]/images/generations`, `web/fetch`, `moderations`, `search`) called the plain, cache-only selector, so an account whose cache entry was never populated (e.g. its first request landed on one of these routes) could be selected even at 0% quota remaining. Those 14 call sites now go through `getProviderCredentialsWithQuotaPreflight()` instead, matching chat/codex coverage. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6686-quota-preflight-coverage.test.ts` (static check that none of the routes call the plain selector anymore + a behavioral check that the preflight-aware selector blocks a 100%-used account).
+- **fix(api):** `reasoning_content` (extended-thinking text) was silently dropped from `/v1/chat/completions` SSE on the `claude-web` and `v0-vercel-web` executors ([#6662](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6662)) — every chunk builder in both adapters hardcoded `delta: { content: ... }` with no reasoning path, unlike the established pattern already used by `default.ts`/`deepseek-web.ts`/`bedrock.ts` and the real-Anthropic-API `claude-to-openai.ts` translator (`thinking_delta` → `reasoning_content`). `v0-vercel-web.ts` now forwards an upstream `delta.reasoning_content` field (streaming and non-streaming) the same way `deepseek-web.ts` does. `claude-web.ts`'s `buildClaudeStreamingResponse` now maps a `content_block_start`(`type: "thinking"`)/`content_block_delta`(`delta.thinking`) pair onto `delta.reasoning_content`, and `claude-web/payload.ts`'s `transformToClaude()` no longer hardcodes `thinking_mode: "off"` — a new `wantsExtendedThinking()` derives it from the request's `reasoning_effort`/`reasoning.effort`/`thinking.type` signal, so extended thinking can actually be requested. Regression guard: `tests/unit/issue-6662-repro.test.ts` (RED→GREEN for both adapters).
+- **fix(api):** the compression config PUT schema now accepts `enableRenderers` for the RTK engine instead of rejecting the documented option (#6703, #6757 — thanks @alltomatos, with an independent duplicate fix from @chirag127 via #6756).
+- **fix(api):** raised the provider `apiKey` length cap for cookie-based web providers, whose session-cookie credentials legitimately exceed the previous limit (#6715, #6759 — thanks @alltomatos).
+- fix(ci): publish electron-updater `latest*.yml` manifests in electron release assets so auto-update can find them ([#6766](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6766))
+- **fix(i18n): translate hardcoded Portuguese dashboard strings to English (#6761, #6768)** (#6769 — thanks @chirag127).
+- fix(providers): strip redundant node prefix when resolving custom OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible connections by raw connection id, preventing double-namespaced model ids from 400ing upstream (#6772)
+- fix(providers): scope nvidia NIM 404s to the single failing model instead of cooling down the whole connection (#6773)
+- **fix(codex):** bump the default Codex CLI client identity from `0.142.0` to `0.144.0` for compatibility with newer Codex-backed models ([#6780](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6780)) — thanks @quanturbo
+- **fix(ci):** the blocking "Impacted unit tests (TIA)" step false-redded any PR whose impact graph reached a dashboard component — it ran every selected test under `--import tsx/esm`, but `tests/unit/dashboard/**` requires the `--import tsx` CJS transform (ESM-only deep imports like `@lobehub/icons/es/*`), exactly as the canonical `test:unit:ci:shard` already does per segment. The impacted selection is now split by segment with matching loaders (closes #6787).
+- **fix(translator):** read PDF/video `file_data` attachments on the OpenAI→Gemini/Antigravity and OpenAI→Claude paths so multimodal documents (not just images) reach the upstream — PDFs map to `document`/`inlineData` and videos keep their `video/mp4` mime instead of being dropped (#6790 — thanks @Witroch4, with an independent report/fix from @samimozcan via #6762/#6753).
+- **fix(providers): ensure DeepSeek Web SSE emits [DONE] after FINISHED** (#6791 — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch).
+- **fix(api):** the compression config `PUT` schema (`stackedPipelineStepSchema`) now accepts every `ENGINE_CATALOG` id — the structural engines `session-dedup`/`ccr`/`headroom`/`relevance`/`llmlingua`/`omniglyph` and the `aggressive` `ultra` intensity — so a `GET`→`PUT` round-trip of a stacked pipeline no longer 400s on a valid engine the discriminated union had omitted (#6747 — thanks @Pitchfork-and-Torch).
+- **fix(cursor):** send the Agent CLI build id as `x-cursor-client-version` so Cursor upstream accepts requests from the current CLI build instead of a stale hardcoded version (#6795 — thanks @andrewmunsell).
+- fix(cli): waitForServer() no longer reports ready from a raw TCP accept alone — requires a fast HTTP rejection or a real health response, so the "OmniRoute is running!" banner no longer fires 30-60s before the server can actually answer requests (#6800)
+- fix(sse): de-flake timing-sensitive combo cooldown/breaker tests + add explicit MCP audit shutdown timeout (#6803)
+- **fix(codex): strip include from compact responses requests** (#6805 — thanks @yinaoxiong).
+- fix(dashboard): surface Claude extraUsage credits in quota card when quotas is empty (#6806)
+- **Request count by provider & date**: Dashboard → Analytics now shows a dedicated table of request counts grouped by provider and calendar date (plus token totals), for providers that bill per-request rather than per-token — sortable columns and a single-date filter. New `getProviderDailyUsageRows()` query (`src/lib/db/usageAnalytics.ts`) and its own `GET /api/usage/requests-by-provider-date` route (kept separate from the frozen `/api/usage/analytics` route). Regression guard: `tests/unit/db-provider-daily-usage-4009.test.ts`. (#4009 — thanks @tjengbudi)
+- **fix(resilience):** an Ollama Cloud (or any apikey-category provider) account that hit a weekly usage cap kept getting retried every few minutes instead of backing off ([#3709](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/3709)) — the upstream 429 body ("you (\<account\>) have reached your weekly usage limit") was invisible to `checkFallbackError`'s existing subscription-quota-text classifier (Issue #2321) because that branch is gated by `shouldUseQuotaSignal`, which is oauth-only, so apikey providers like `ollama-cloud` fell through to the generic exponential backoff (~1s, capped at 2min) — one account took 285x429 in 48h. A new `isWeeklyUsageLimitText`/`buildWeeklyQuotaFallback` classifier (extracted, with the existing subscription-quota logic, into a new `open-sse/services/quotaTextCooldowns.ts` module so the frozen `accountFallback.ts` didn't have to grow) runs unconditionally and applies a 24h `QUOTA_EXHAUSTED` cooldown regardless of provider category. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ollama-cloud-weekly-quota-cooldown-3709.test.ts`.
+- **fix(providers):** an explicit `thinking.budget_tokens: 0` is now honored in the OpenAI→Gemini transform (thinking disabled) instead of being treated as unset (#6813, #6821 — thanks @alltomatos).
+- **fix(bootstrap):** filter empty `process.env` values before spawning embedded services so a blank env var no longer crashes the Docker bootstrap in a restart loop (#6828 — thanks @AndrianBalanescu).
+- **fix(providers):** classify upstream `404` responses as `MODEL_NOT_FOUND` (model lockout) instead of a retryable provider error, stopping the retry storm when a single model is missing (#6829 — thanks @AndrianBalanescu).
+- fix(mcp): de-duplicate `TOTAL_MCP_TOOL_COUNT` by tool name instead of double-counting collections (#6854)
+- **fix(usage):** xAI's exact provider-reported `cost_in_usd_ticks` no longer silently accepts `null`/`""`/negative values as a valid `$0` exact cost — `extractUsageFromResponse()` (`open-sse/handlers/usageExtractor.ts`) and `normalizeUsage()` (`open-sse/utils/usageTracking.ts`) now require `typeof value === "number" && Number.isFinite(value) && value >= 0` instead of coercing with `Number(x)`, so a malformed exact cost correctly falls back to the token-based estimate instead of masking it with a bogus `$0`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/xai-exact-cost-2453.test.ts` (rejects null/empty/negative exact costs on both call sites). ([#6856](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6856) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(plugin):** the `@omniroute/opencode-plugin` dynamic provider hook stopped embedding its OC-1.17.8+-gate-compatible `opencode-`-prefixed provider id into model routing fields (`ModelV2.id`/`providerID`, combo catalog keys) — OmniRoute's server has no `opencode-<x>` provider alias, so every dispatched model failed credential lookup with "No credentials for opencode-omniroute" (#6859).
+- fix(sse): apply cliproxyapiModelMapping at CLIProxyAPI dispatch time (#6876)
+- fix(sse): defer `response.completed` until a trailing usage-only chunk arrives on `/v1/responses` streams (#6906)
+- **fix(cli):** ship `head-response-guard.cjs` into the standalone bundle — `server-ws.mjs` imported it without a matching `EXTRA_MODULE_ENTRIES` entry, so every `build:release` dist crashed at boot with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND`; a new regression test derives the required sidecars from `server-ws.mjs` imports (#6908)
+- fix(sse): wire the shared quota-fetch throttle into DeepSeek, Bailian, OpenCode, and Crof quota fetchers, not just Codex (#6911)
+- fix(sse): rename client-sent `max_completion_tokens` to `max_tokens` for providers/models that only accept the legacy field (e.g. Volcengine Ark / DeepSeek), mirroring the existing reverse rename from #1961 (#6912)
+- fix(sse): set includeServerSideToolInvocations on Antigravity tool cloak decoys (#6914)
+- fix(sse): classify LAN embeddings providers (10/8, 192.168/16, CGNAT) as no-auth instead of forcing bearer auth (#6925)
+- fix(sse): Qwen Web executor no longer sends `[object Object]` when a message uses structured (array) content — the text parts are now flattened (#6927)
+- perf(api): relay chat-completions routes now thread the already-fetched `RelayToken` into `checkRateLimit`, skipping a redundant `SELECT * FROM relay_tokens WHERE id = ?` re-query on every request (#6930)
+- fix(sse): `normalizeCodexMessageContentPart` now rewrites explicit `type: "input_text"` (not just `type: "text"`) to `output_text` on assistant-role Codex Responses input parts, so replayed assistant history sent by codex-cli as `input_text` is no longer rejected by the Codex/OpenAI backend (#6932)
+- fix(sse): omit removed `attachments` field from Muse Spark Web (Meta AI) persisted GraphQL query to fix `Unknown type "AttachmentInput"` 502s (#6935)
+- fix(dashboard): label audio/embeddings/image compatible providers by kind instead of "Chat" on ProviderCard (#6936)
+- fix(api): model-list discovery for LAN-local OpenAI-compatible providers (e.g. LM Studio) now uses the same local-first SSRF guard as the connection test, instead of the stricter guard that always blocked LAN hosts (#6939)
+- fix(providers): `openai->gemini` transform now maps `reasoning_effort: "none"` to `thinkingConfig.thinkingBudget: 0` (with `includeThoughts: false`), giving callers an explicit, documented off-switch for Gemini thinking; the no-knob-at-all default injection (#4170) is unchanged (#6813, thanks @rafaumeu)
+- **fix(sse):** escape backslash before brackets in ChatGPT-web citation link text, preventing a citation label containing `\` from corrupting the generated Markdown link ([#6944](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6944)) — thanks @brick30llc-ctrl
+- fix(oauth): tokenHealthCheck now lowercase-normalizes `conn.provider` before checking `ROTATING_REFRESH_PROVIDERS.has()` and the GitHub Copilot sub-token refresh guard, so mixed-case provider values (e.g. "OpenAI", "Github") no longer bypass the rotating-refresh-token skip or the Copilot sub-token refresh (#6947)
+- fix(sse): make Codex Responses tool-arg normalization schema-aware — drop values equal to the tool's declared JSON Schema `default`, generalize empty-optional stripping to any tool (not just `Read`/`Subagent`) via `schema.required`, and thread each tool's schema from the request's `tools[]` into the streaming response translator (#6951)
+- fix(sse): drop internal commentary-phase Responses output in TRANSLATE-mode streams, not just PASSTHROUGH — codex/Responses-upstream routes translated into another client format (e.g. Claude Code) no longer leak duplicate prose and narrated tool-call arguments into the client text channel (#6952)
+- **fix(combos):** embeddings-only and rerank-only models (e.g. JinaAI, Gemini auto-imported, OpenRouter custom, reranker models) no longer disappear from the combo builder's model picker — the leftover chat-only `isChatCapable` gate in `addModelOption()` has been removed (#6975).
+- **fix(combos):** when 2+ distinct model ids from the same provider would render an identical display name in the combo builder picker (e.g. Mistral's `codestral-latest`/`codestral-2508` aliases sharing one upstream catalog name), each colliding entry now falls back to its own id as the display label so every row stays visually distinguishable and findable (#6957).
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **chore(release-captain):** v3.8.47 pre-flight closed every deterministic release-tip base-red ([#6967](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6967)): restored the `no-explicit-any` severity silently downgraded by #6786 (439 bulk suppressions had stopped matching), made the openadapter live-catalog test deterministic (`test.after()` was tearing the DB down mid-request), aligned the emergency-fallback and Cloud Code Gemini tests with the #6912/#6943 contracts, backfilled the #6909 i18n keys (en + pt-BR), re-exported `relayProbeStats` (db-rules), documented `OMNI_MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS`, and allowlisted migration gap 121. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **chore(security):** unbiased crypto digits for the doubao synthetic device id (CodeQL `js/biased-cryptographic-random`); 405 method-first for `/api/keys/{id}/devices` (dast-smoke); Zod-validation for `POST /api/github-skills`; the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry + catalog count alignment. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+- **chore(quality):** cycle-close ratchet work — cleared the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors and made `validate-release-green` suppressions-aware; cleared the 2 remaining heavy-gate reds on the release tip; cycle rebaselines (cognitive/file-size/zizmor/coverage pcts) with justification keys. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **chore(open-sse):** removed the vestigial `// @ts-nocheck` directive from `open-sse/utils/usageTracking.ts` ([#6173](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6173)) — `tsc` under the standard `typecheck:core` gate reports 0 errors for this 595-line hot-path file (executed for every provider response), so the suppression was no longer needed; removing it restores type-checking on the token-usage extraction/normalization path. (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **chore(cli):** the shell-completion cache paths (`readCache`/`refreshCache`/`writeCache`) in `bin/cli/commands/completion.mjs` no longer swallow errors into a bare `catch {}` ([#6257](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6257)) — each now binds the error and, when the new `OMNIROUTE_DEBUG_COMPLETION` env var is set, emits a `[omniroute completion]` diagnostic to `stderr`; the caches still fail silently by default so a missing/corrupt cache never breaks tab-completion. (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **chore(quality):** `validate-release-green --full-ci` reproduces the full `ci.yml` static gate set locally — the pre-flight now reads `ci.yml` itself and runs every `npm run check:*` from the `lint` / `quality-gate` / `quality-extended` / `docs-sync-strict` / `pr-test-policy` jobs (`--` ratchet flags preserved, `test-masking` against `GITHUB_BASE_REF=main`), skipping only the non-local `pr-evidence`/`codeql-ratchet`. Closes the gap where 11 static base-reds leaked to the v3.8.46 release PR in ~2h of layered CI. Also wired into `nightly-release-green` so a static base-red opens a tracking issue the night it lands. Regression guard: `tests/unit/validate-release-green.test.ts` (+5 `extractCiGates` cases).
+- **refactor(usage):** `saveRequestUsage(entry: any)` is now typed with a new `UsageEntry` interface mirroring the `usage_history` columns 1:1 (#3512) — the other stray `any`s in `src/lib/usage/usageHistory.ts` (`getUsageHistory` filter, the `getUsageDb` next-cursor cast, `appendRequestLog`'s legacy `tokens` param, `getRecentLogs`'s catch) were cleaned in the same pass, so the file now sits in the `check:any-budget:t11` zero-`any` allowlist. The DB-entity ↔ TS-interface convention is documented in `docs/architecture/CODEBASE_DOCUMENTATION.md` §11.
+- **Merge-train script** (`scripts/release/merge-train.sh`): batch-validates N queued PRs as ONE merged result on the runner box — merges every queued PR into a throwaway worktree cut from the release tip, runs the fast-gates parity suite once, and prints the `--admin` evidence block per PR (merge-gates §7). Replaces O(N²) per-PR CI re-runs in merge-storms. Regression guard: `tests/unit/merge-train-plan.test.ts`.
+- **release:** `list-uncovered-commits.mjs` now unions the CHANGELOG scan window with `changelog.d/` fragment refs (filename `<PR>-` prefix + every `#N` in the body), so a commit covered only by a fragment is no longer reported as an uncovered reconciliation gap ([#6857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6857) via [#6878](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6878))
+- chore(quality): restore no-explicit-any severity to error (silently downgraded by #6786, broke 439 bulk suppressions), fix 2 unsuppressed anys in repro-6912 test, allowlist migration gap 121, freeze-bump stream.ts/ProxyRegistryManager/tokenHealthCheck (combined-merge drift)
+- chore(base): pt-BR/en i18n keys for #6909 relay-repair/free-pool UI + align Cloud Code Gemini defaults test with the #6943 non-thinking-model contract
+- chore(base): re-export relayProbeStats from localDb (db-rules gate, #6909 follow-up) and document OMNI_MAX_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS in .env.example/ENVIRONMENT.md (env-doc gate, #6590 follow-up)
+- **ci:** unit fast-path sharding doubled 2→4 (halves the heaviest job's wall time) (#6781); the 3 heaviest fast-path jobs can route to the self-hosted VPS runner pool behind `USE_VPS_RUNNER` (#6691); `VPS_ALWAYS_ON` keeps the dedicated 24/7 CI host up across releases (teardown becomes a no-op) (#6693).
+- **docs:** routing-strategy count reconciled to 18 across AUTO-COMBO.md, README and AGENTS.md, and `p2c` casing fixed to match `ROUTING_STRATEGY_VALUES` (#6643, #6644, #6646 — thanks @chirag127); CLAUDE.md updated with the renamed review/triage/implement skill-family names (#6663).
+- chore(release): v3.8.47 pre-flight — relocate #6943 orphan test to a collected path, restore no-explicit-any suppression match, testFrozen bump translator-openai-to-gemini (1541→1553), zizmor rebaseline 159→169
+- **docs(readme):** fix stale counts — 18 routing strategies (adds the missing `pipeline` row), 94 MCP tools, 12-factor Auto-Combo scoring.
+- **chore(ci):** fix two shared base-reds on the release tip that blocked the PR queue — register `cliproxyapi-model-mapping-dispatch.test.ts` in `stryker.conf.json` `tap.testFiles` (mutation-coverage gap left by #6903) and update `provider-models-route-codex.test.ts` to expect Codex client version `0.144.0` (stale assertion left by #6780's production bump).
+- **docs:** refresh `llm.txt` to the current project state (248 providers, 94 MCP tools / 30 scopes, 18 routing strategies, 12-factor Auto-Combo scoring, v3.8.47) and sync its 42 i18n mirrors; move the implemented design-system plan from the repo root to `docs/architecture/DESIGN_SYSTEM.md` rewritten as a reference doc.
+- **chore(security):** scrub hardcoded live-instance credentials (API key + auth cookie + host URL) from the `tests/boundary/*.live.test.ts` files landed via #6786 — they now read `OMNIROUTE_TEST_BASE` / `OMNIROUTE_TEST_BEARER` / `OMNIROUTE_TEST_COOKIE` from the environment and stay gated behind `RUN_BOUNDARY_LIVE=1`.

+## [3.8.46] — 2026-07-07
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(sse):** **hide paid-only models from `auto/*` routing** when `hidePaidModels` is on ([#6512](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6512)) — follow-up to #6328/#6495. PR #6495 hid paid-only models from the `GET /v1/models` listing, but `auto/*` combos (`auto/best-coding`, `auto/glm`, …) could still pick a paid-only backend into their candidate pool → a 402/403 at request time. `createVirtualAutoCombo` now filters the candidate pool through the new pure `open-sse/services/autoCombo/paidModelFilter.ts` (`filterPaidOnlyCandidates`), applying the same free-model predicate #6495 uses in `catalog.ts` (`providerHasFreeModels(provider) && isFreeModel(provider, {id})`) whenever `settings.hidePaidModels === true`. Applied before the category/tier/family narrowing, so it covers every `auto/*` combo; an all-paid pool degrades to the existing graceful empty-pool path. **Opt-in — default OFF leaves the pool unchanged** (identity). Regression guard: `tests/unit/autoCombo/paid-model-filter-6512.test.ts` (4, incl. the default-off identity guard).
+- **feat(sse):** **provider-family auto combos** — `auto/glm`, `auto/minimax`, `auto/mimo`, `auto/zai`, `auto/gemma`, `auto/llama`, `auto/gemini` ([#6453](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6453)) — new routable ids that materialize an on-demand virtual combo spanning whatever installed backends currently expose that model family, degrading gracefully as backends rotate. A new pure `open-sse/services/autoCombo/modelFamily.ts` (`detectModelFamily`) classifies by model-id prefix for six families; `zai` is instead resolved by provider id (z.ai's hosted API serves the same `glm-*` model ids as every other GLM backend, so `auto/zai` means "route to my z.ai backend specifically" vs `auto/glm`'s "any connected GLM backend"). Reuses the existing `createVirtualAutoCombo` on-demand materialization path (no DB writes) and the `/v1/models` catalog advertising loop. Regression guard: `tests/unit/autoCombo/provider-family-combos.test.ts` (11).
+- **feat(proxy):** native **proxy-pool round-robin / egress IP rotation** ([#6365](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6365)) — a scope (global / provider / account) can now hold **multiple** proxies as a pool with a rotation strategy, so outbound requests cycle their egress IP instead of pinning one proxy per scope. Migration `117_proxy_pool_rotation.sql` lifts the `UNIQUE(scope, scope_id)` constraint (rebuild via the canonical rename/copy/drop; existing single assignments become 1-element pools) and adds a `proxy_scope_rotation` companion table holding the per-scope strategy + a persisted monotonic round-robin cursor. Strategies: `round-robin` (default, monotonic cursor — never `Math.random`), `random`, and `sticky-per-N-min`. Resolution (`resolveProxyForScopeFromRegistry` / `resolveProxyForConnectionFromRegistry`) now fetches the alive, position-ordered candidate set (unchanged `PROXY_ALIVE_PREDICATE`) and applies the strategy; an empty / all-dead pool still returns `null` — the #6246 fail-closed guard is **untouched** (never falls through to direct egress). Backend + DB only; dashboard pool-builder UI is a follow-up. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-pool-rotation-6365.test.ts` (8, incl. fail-closed + backward-compat).
+- **feat(providers):** end-to-end **tool/function calling on the native Gemini `/v1beta` endpoint** ([#6222](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6222)) — both directions of the Gemini↔OpenAI conversion now preserve tool data (previously silently dropped). Request side: `convertGeminiToInternal` (extracted to its own testable module) maps `tools[].functionDeclarations` → OpenAI `tools`, prior `functionCall` parts → assistant `tool_calls`, and `functionResponse` parts → `tool`-role messages. Response side: `convertOpenAIResponseToGemini` emits `parts[].functionCall {name,args}` from `message.tool_calls`, and the streaming `openAIChunkToGeminiChunk` accumulates fragmented `tool_calls` deltas by index into complete `functionCall` parts. The non-Gemini client paths (Claude, OpenAI-Responses) already preserved tool calls — this closes the gap specific to the native Gemini surface. Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1beta-gemini-tool-calling-6222.test.ts` (6, incl. a streaming SSE round-trip).
+- **feat(providers):** copilot-m365-web **enterprise / work tier** support ([#6334](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6334)) — mirrors the EDU-tier pattern (#6210): `M365ConnectionParams` gains an `agent` field, a new opt-in `M365_ENTERPRISE_OVERRIDES` preset (`agent=work`, `scenario=officeweb`, `licenseType=Premium`) applies via `providerSpecificData.tier="enterprise"` (alias `"work"`), and `agent` is also overridable directly via `providerSpecificData.agent`. `buildWsUrl` was hardcoding `agent="web"` (the one enterprise-distinguishing param with no override path), so a Premium work account handshook then returned an empty stream. The individual and EDU paths are untouched. Kilo's dup flag vs #6210 (EDU tier) was a false positive — different tier. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-enterprise-6334.test.ts` (7). End-to-end confirmation on a real Premium work account is a live-VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18). (thanks @Forcerecon)
+- **feat(api):** standardized, provider-agnostic **`effort` + `thinking` request params** ([#6241](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6241)) — a thin standardization layer over the existing mature per-provider reasoning plumbing (no provider mapper touched). `providerChatCompletionSchema` gains a canonical `effort` (reusing the shared `none/low/medium/high/xhigh` vocabulary — the UI tiers `extra`/`max` collapse onto `xhigh`) and a boolean `thinking`. A pure `normalizeReasoningRequest` (wired once in `src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, before any reasoning field is read) folds them onto the fields the translators already consume (`reasoning_effort` / `reasoning.effort` / `thinking`), so they fan out to Anthropic / Gemini / xAI / Responses — an explicit client `reasoning_effort` / object-shaped `thinking` always wins (backward-compatible). `/models` additively exposes `supportsThinking` + `effort_tiers` so the frontend can render the toggles (UI component is a follow-up). Regression guard: `tests/unit/effort-thinking-standardization-6241.test.ts` (12). (thanks @Iammilansoni, @shabeer)
+- **feat(combo):** new **`pipeline` (sequential) combo strategy** ([#6297](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6297)) — the 18th routing strategy runs targets **in order**, threading each step's output into the next step's input, with an optional per-step `prompt` (system instruction); only the final step's response is returned. Distinct from `fusion` (parallel fan-out + judge). Implemented as a self-contained `open-sse/services/pipeline.ts` (sibling to `fusion.ts`), dispatched from `combo.ts`; the step list reuses `combo.models` order and reads an optional `prompt` off each target (backward-compatible — ignored by every other strategy). Intermediate steps run non-streaming with tools stripped (complete prose to thread forward); the final step keeps the client's `stream` flag + tools. A failing/empty/unparseable intermediate step fails the whole pipeline explicitly via a sanitized error (never silently swallowed). Kilo's dup flag vs #563 was a false positive (that's model→chain selection; this is a sequential chain). Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-pipeline-strategy.test.ts` (5). (thanks @ofekbetzalel)
+- **feat(ci):** `check:test-masking` now flags **inline-reimplemented prod conditions** ([#6348](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6348)) — a new **report-only** subcheck (v2, 6A.10 family) catches the wrong-shape contract test: a test that recomputes the condition under test inline instead of importing/exercising the real function (the #6216 class, where `=== 500` → `>= 500` stayed green because the test re-implemented the branch). For each added/modified test file it warns when the file textually duplicates a ≥3-token conditional from a production file touched in the same PR **and** does not import the symbol/module owning it, via a pure, fixture-tested `findReimplementedConditions()` with an allowlist mirroring `assertReductionAllowlist`. Report-only for now (does not fail the gate) — to be promoted to blocking after a triage cycle. Regression guard: `tests/unit/check-test-masking.test.ts` (45).
+- **feat(sse):** per-connection routing override (native vs CLIProxyAPI) ([#6339](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6339)) — the previously-dead `isCliproxyapiDeepModeEnabled` helper is now wired into `resolveExecutorWithProxy`: a single connection can opt itself into the CLIProxyAPI passthrough executor via `providerSpecificData.cliproxyapiMode="claude-native"`, with precedence **connection override > provider `upstream_proxy_config` mode > default**. `resolveExecutorWithProxy` now receives the resolved connection's `providerSpecificData` (threaded from `chatCore.ts`), so one connection can deep-route while the provider's other connections stay native — no DB schema change (the toggle rides in `providerSpecificData`). Also resolves the same-provider mixing ask in #6340. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chatcore-executor-proxy.test.ts` (9). (thanks @RaviTharuma)
+- **feat(dashboard):** "Add session cookie" modal now shows a prominent **"Open ‹host› →"** link to the provider's own site ([#6268](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6268)) — every `-web` cookie-session provider (chatgpt-web, claude-web, gemini-web, kimi-web, lmarena, qwen-web, m365-copilot-web, …) renders a one-click external link (opening the provider's login/home page in a new tab) so operators no longer tab away to retype the URL mid-setup. The host resolves from a pure, unit-tested `resolveWebProviderHost()` (prefers `WEB_COOKIE_PROVIDERS[id].website`, falls back to the registry `baseUrl` origin); non-web providers render exactly as before. Kilo's dup flag vs #6265 (modal-too-small-on-1080p) was a false positive — distinct concern. Regression guard: `tests/unit/resolve-web-provider-host.test.ts` (5). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add **DigitalOcean** AI (serverless inference) as an OpenAI-compatible API-key provider ([#6373](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6373)) — base `https://inference.do-ai.run/v1`, wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/digitalocean/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/inference-hosts.ts`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/digitalocean-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @newnol)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Huancheng Public API** (`hcnsec`) as an OpenAI-compatible regional provider ([#6410](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6410)) — Xinjiang Huancheng Cybersecurity's public LLM platform (base `https://api.hcnsec.cn/v1`, free credits via daily check-ins), wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/hcnsec/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/regional.ts`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/hcnsec-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @UnrealAryan)
+- **feat(dashboard):** the web-session credential guide now shows an **"Open {host}" link** ([#6316](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6316)) to the provider's sign-in site (derived from the provider `website` via `getProviderWebsiteHost`), so you can jump straight to the page where the cookie/session must be captured. Regression guard: `tests/unit/web-session-provider-link-6316.test.ts`. (thanks @jordansilly77-stack)
+- **feat(cerebras):** add the **Gemma 4 31B** model (`gemma-4-31b`) to the Cerebras registry + pricing table ([#6331](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6331)). Regression guard extends `tests/unit/t28-model-catalog-updates.test.ts`. (thanks @backryun)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Yuanbao (web)** as a cookie-session provider ([#6196](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6196)) — `yuanbao-web` (Tencent Yuanbao, `yuanbao.tencent.com`) with cookie-only auth (`hy_user`/`hy_token` + public agent id), SSE→OpenAI translation incl. `reasoning_content`, exposing DeepSeek V3/R1 + Hunyuan / Hunyuan-T1. Regression guard: `tests/unit/providers-yuanbao-web.test.ts`. `together-web` was **deferred** (no verifiable web-session endpoint — needs a captured request) and `huggingchat-web` **dropped** (the existing `huggingchat` already is a web-cookie provider). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** route the built-in **agentrouter** through the dynamic Claude-Code wire image ([#6056](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6056)) — a small static allow-set (`CC_WIRE_IMAGE_BUILTINS` in `open-sse/services/ccWireImageBuiltins.ts`), consulted by `isClaudeCodeCompatible` / `isClaudeCodeCompatibleProvider` / `applyFingerprint`, makes agentrouter adopt the CC wire-image headers + fingerprint **while guarding the CC baseUrl/auth branches** so it keeps its own registry `baseUrl` and `x-api-key` auth. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentrouter-cc-wire-image.test.ts` (asserts the wire image is applied AND agentrouter's baseUrl/auth are preserved). Live WAF-acceptance against agentrouter.org is a VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18).
+- **feat(providers):** **bulk-add API keys for Cloudflare Workers AI** ([#6174](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6174)) — `cloudflare-ai` is removed from the bulk-add exclusion list and the bulk parser gains a 3-field `name|accountId|apiKey` mode; the bulk route now builds a **per-entry** `providerSpecificData` so each key carries its own `accountId` (fixing the previous shared-object reuse), and both the create + key-validation paths receive it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/bulk-api-key-parser-cloudflare.test.ts`. (thanks @muflifadla38)
+- **feat(dashboard):** routing/settings UX clarity ([#6147](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6147)) — (1) weighted combos show the **effective routing share %** next to each weight when weights don't sum to 100 (`WeightTotalBar.tsx`); (2) the status widget's user-facing **"Cloud Sync" label is renamed** to "Remote Settings Sync" (`CloudSyncStatus.tsx`; internal ids/state untouched); (3) built-in providers gain an **opt-in advanced base-URL override** (`isBaseUrlOverrideEligibleProvider`, hidden behind an "Advanced" toggle, reusing the existing `providerSpecificData.baseUrl` persistence — not globally widened). Regression guard: `tests/unit/routing-settings-ux-6147.test.ts`.
+- **feat(combo):** add an option to **disable session stickiness**, per-combo or globally — round-robin / random combos can rotate to a different connection on every request instead of pinning a whole conversation to one connection by its first-message hash. Resolution precedence per-combo `config.disableSessionStickiness` → global `settings.disableSessionStickiness` → default `false` (preserves the #3825 prompt-cache/504 fix); gates **both** stickiness call sites in `open-sse/services/combo.ts`. Exposed as a global toggle (Combo Defaults) and a per-combo Inherit/on/off control. ([#6168](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6168)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-disable-session-stickiness.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+- **feat(docker):** add the `OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO` env flag for root-less / user-namespaced deployments — the MITM cert-trust command path (`resolveSudoSpawn` in `src/mitm/systemCommands.ts`) now strips the leading `sudo` when the flag is truthy, in addition to the existing root / sudo-missing cases, so the Proxy Agent runs without `sudo` (the operator trusts the CA manually, e.g. via `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`). Argv-array `spawn` preserved — no shell interpolation (Hard Rule #13). ([#6122](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6122)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-systemCommands-no-sudo.test.ts`. (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Requesty** as an OpenAI-compatible gateway provider (BYOK, base `https://router.requesty.ai/v1`, ~200 free requests/day) — wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/requesty/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/gateways.ts`). ([#6120](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6120)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/requesty-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add **configured-only / available-only filters** to the Free Provider Rankings page ([#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150)) — hide providers you haven't configured, or whose connections are all rate-limited / out of quota, via server-side query params (`?configuredOnly` / `?availableOnly` on `GET /api/free-provider-rankings`) backed by a testable lib helper reusing the in-process connection state (no Redis). Both filters default off, so the default view is unchanged; this supersedes the earlier client-side "Configured Only" toggle (#6245) with an available-only dimension and unit-tested logic. Regression guard: `tests/unit/freeProviderRankings-filters.test.ts`.
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(dashboard):** adding a second API key connection for the same provider no longer silently overwrites the first — the Add-API-key modal now derives a unique default connection name (`main`, then `main-2`, `main-3`, …) so the backend name-based upsert can't collide (#6499 — thanks @dilneiss).
+- **fix(compression):** the session-dedup engine now also deduplicates a large multi-line block repeated **within a single message** (intra-message dedup), not just across turns; the compression-preview API surfaces a `fallbackReason`, and the fusion panel reports how many models were rate-limited vs failed on total-panel failure (#6501 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **fix(compression):** a stacked-pipeline step naming an unregistered engine now surfaces a `validationErrors` entry instead of silently no-op'ing, so misconfigured pipelines are visible in the preview API (#6506 — thanks @chirag127).
+- **feat(usage):** add a **Codex reset-credit redemption** flow to the Provider Limits UI ([#6361](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6361)) — a `useCodexResetCreditRedemption` hook + `/api/usage/codex-reset-credit` route + `codexResetCredits` lib let you redeem banked Codex reset credits from the quota card. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-reset-credits.test.ts`. (thanks @JxnLexn)
+- **feat(glm):** add **team-plan quota settings** for `glm-cn` connections ([#6351](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6351)) — a dedicated `GlmTeamQuotaFields` form section (team quota id / limits) threaded through the Add/Edit connection modals, persisted via `providerSpecificData`, with the GLM usage service reading the team quota. Regression guards: `tests/unit/glm-team-quota.test.ts`, `provider-specific-data-schema.test.ts`. (thanks @hao3039032)
+- **feat(providers):** add **TinyFish** web-fetch/search support ([#6349](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6349)) — a `tinyfish-fetch` executor + `/v1/web/fetch` route + MCP web-fetch tool, registered as a specialty-media provider with request-validation and a search-provider catalog entry. Regression guards: `tests/unit/executor-tinyfish-fetch.test.ts`, `web-fetch-handler.test.ts`, `mcp-web-fetch-tool.test.ts`, `provider-validation-tinyfish.test.ts`. (thanks @dtybnrj)
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute launch-codex` now spawns `codex.cmd` through a shell on Windows (the npm `.cmd` shim is unresolvable by bare `spawn` → ENOENT), mirroring the qodercli Windows fix (#6263) ([#6312](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6312)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/launch-codex-windows-spawn-6312.test.ts`. (thanks @swingtempo)
+- **fix(codex):** isolate the **Spark** quota from the shared Codex quota and stabilize the quota UI ordering / hydration so per-scope limits render consistently ([#6336](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6336)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/codex-quota-selection-hydration.test.ts`, `provider-limits-ui.test.ts` + 3 more. (thanks @xz-dev)
+- **feat(api):** add a `hidePaidModels` setting that filters paid-only models out of the `/v1/models` catalog. Regression guard: `tests/unit/models-catalog-hide-paid.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api-manager):** the fallback model picker now preserves combos instead of dropping them when a primary model is unavailable ([#6443](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6443)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api-manager-page-static.test.ts`. (thanks @jmengit)
+- **fix(providers):** recoverable Antigravity / Cloud-Code (Gemini Code Assist) `403` responses ([#6452](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6452)) are now classified as a retryable project-config error instead of a terminal account ban, so a fixable project/API-disabled 403 no longer forces a ~1-year cooldown / full OAuth reconnect. Regression guard: `tests/unit/errorclassifier-antigravity-403.test.ts`. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(mitm):** `sanitizeHeaders` now redacts `Set-Cookie` response headers so upstream session cookies never leak into logs / diagnostics ([#6451](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6451)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-sanitize-headers.test.ts`. (thanks @developerjillur)
+- **fix(api):** `/api/compression/preview` now accepts `mode: "caveman"` and correctly handles stacked / zero-compression previews ([#6425](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6425)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api/compression-preview-caveman-and-stacked-6425.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Zed** hosted LLM aggregator as a native-app provider ([#6118](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6118)) — OAuth sign-in via the Zed hosted flow, registered through the shared provider registry + executor. Regression guards: `tests/unit/zed-oauth-provider.test.ts`, `zed-import-utils.test.ts`, `zed-docker-detect.test.ts`, `mitm-handler-zed.test.ts`. VPS-validated via live operator login (Hard Rule #18).
+- **fix(oauth):** the Kiro SSO-cache auto-import now **preserves the IDC region** — cross-region Amazon Q / Kiro profiles imported from the SSO cache are no longer collapsed to the default region ([#6113](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6113)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kiro-auto-import-idc-2059.test.ts`. VPS-validated via live operator login (Hard Rule #18).
+- **fix(dashboard):** passthrough model aliases no longer collide when two namespaced model ids share a last segment (port from 9router#1850, [#6431](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6431)). `enx/gpt-5.5` and `enx/codebuddy/gpt-5.5` both auto-generated the alias `gpt-5.5`, so the second model could never be added (the UI just alerted "alias already exists"). Aliases are now disambiguated deterministically — bare last segment when free, then parent-qualified (`codebuddy-gpt-5.5`), then a numeric suffix — while re-adding the exact same model id is still blocked. Regression guard: `tests/unit/passthrough-alias-1850.test.ts`. (thanks @arpicato)
+- **fix(translator):** preserve a Gemini `functionResponse` co-located with other parts (another `functionCall`, or trailing `text`) in the same content when translating **Gemini → OpenAI** ([#6376](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6376)). `convertGeminiContent()` early-returned the tool message on the first `functionResponse` part, dropping any co-located parts; such contents are now pre-split (one tool message per `functionResponse`, emitted first, plus one message for the remaining parts). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-to-openai-function-response.test.ts`. (thanks @warelik)
+- **fix(headroom):** detect a python interpreter managed by **mise / pyenv / asdf / conda** (port from 9router#2353, [#6382](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6382)). Headroom's python probe (`src/lib/headroom/detect.ts`) searched a hardcoded `PATH`, but version managers expose their interpreters via shim dirs that only join `PATH` through interactive-shell activation — which the non-interactive server never runs, so a managed python (≥3.10) was invisible and Headroom reported it missing. The search path now prepends the well-known shim/bin dirs (`~/.local/share/mise/shims`, `~/.pyenv/shims`, `~/.asdf/shims`, `$CONDA_PREFIX/bin`, `~/.local/bin`, respecting `MISE_DATA_DIR`/`PYENV_ROOT`/`ASDF_DATA_DIR` when set), and a new `HEADROOM_PYTHON` env override lets operators point straight at their interpreter (mirroring `HEADROOM_URL`). Still shell-free (`execFileSync`). Regression guard: `tests/unit/headroom-detect.test.ts` (5). (thanks @loopyd)
+- **fix(executors):** strip the OpenAI-Codex/Claude-CLI `client_metadata` passthrough field for **NVIDIA** requests (port from 9router#1887, [#6411](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6411)). NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible wrapper rejects it with `400 Unsupported parameter`, the same class already handled for `cerebras`/`mistral`; `nvidia` (executor `default`) was missing from the strip allowlist so Codex/Claude-Code passthrough requests 400'd. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executor-default-strip-client-metadata.test.ts` (+nvidia case). (thanks @phidinhmanh)
+- **fix(translator):** strip the Claude-style `thinking` field for **NVIDIA `z-ai/glm-5.2`** (port from 9router#2023, [#6413](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6413)). NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible wrapper 400s on `thinking` (a Claude-format client routed here leaves a `thinking:{type:"adaptive"}`); the existing strip rule only dropped `reasoning`. Same class already handled for `minimax-m2.7`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-minimax-thinking-strip.test.ts` (+glm-5.2 case). (thanks @phidinhmanh)
+- **fix(translator):** suppress the streamed `</think>` close marker for the **Antigravity IDE** client (port from 9router#1061, [#6415](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6415)). On thinking-only turns Antigravity rendered a bare `</think>` as the sole visible content, tripping its loop-detection and wasting requests. Antigravity's UA (`vscode/<v> (Antigravity/<v>)`) is added to the marker-suppress allowlist (alongside OpenCode); Claude Code / Cursor still get the marker, and `x-omniroute-thinking-marker: on` force-restores it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/think-close-marker-suppress-5245.test.ts`. (thanks @abdofallah)
+- **fix(executors):** strip nested `reasoning_content` from messages for **Mistral** (port from 9router#1649, [#6417](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6417)). Mistral's API returns `422 extra_forbidden` when an assistant message carries `reasoning_content` (replayed thinking from a prior turn, e.g. via the Codex `/responses` path); the generic top-level 400 field-downgrade retry never covered the nested per-message field. `DefaultExecutor` now strips it for provider `mistral` only, so DeepSeek (which requires replayed `reasoning_content`) is unaffected. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mistral-strip-reasoning-content-1649.test.ts`. (thanks @xxy9468615)
+- **fix(executors):** strip the `client_metadata` passthrough field on the **OpenCode** path (port from 9router#1442, [#6418](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6418)). OpenCode upstreams (e.g. `kimi-k2.6` via opencode-go) reject it with `400 "Extra inputs are not permitted, field: 'client_metadata'"`; the DefaultExecutor strip only covered cerebras/mistral and `OpencodeExecutor` extends `BaseExecutor` directly, so nothing removed it there. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-strip-client-metadata-1442.test.ts`. (thanks @yanpaing007)
+- **fix(executors):** inject the `reasoning_content` echo for the native **Moonshot Kimi** provider (port from 9router#1480, [#6419](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6419)). Kimi (executor `default`) is a thinking-mode upstream that 400s with "reasoning_content must be passed back" when a prior assistant turn lacks it; the placeholder injection was only wired into the OpenCode meta-provider, so direct multi-turn Kimi conversations failed. Scoped to `kimi` (gateway-served models matching the thinking-model name pattern are unaffected). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kimi-native-reasoning-injected-1480.test.ts`. (thanks @2220258345)
+- **fix(executors):** recover from a strict gateway's `context_management: Extra inputs are not permitted` 400 (port from 9router#1468, [#6420](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6420)). **Claude Code** always sends a top-level `context_management` field; strict anthropic-compatible gateways reject it. The dedicated context-editing 400-fallback only fired when OmniRoute's own `contextEditing` feature was enabled (default off), so a client-sent field passed through untouched and 400'd. `context_management` is now in the generic reactive field-strip list, so it's stripped-and-retried once regardless of the feature flag (with correct request re-signing for claude-compatible relays). Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-field-strips.test.ts`. (thanks @ohahe52-dot)
+- **fix(network):** enable **RFC 8305 Happy Eyeballs** (`autoSelectFamily`) on the direct-egress undici dispatcher (port from 9router#1237, [#6423](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6423)). When DNS returns both IPv6 (AAAA) and IPv4 (A) and the IPv6 route is broken (e.g. a NAT64 `64:ff9b::` prefix without routing), undici tried IPv6 first and hung until `ETIMEDOUT` (then a 502 + account lockout), even though `curl` reached the same host. The direct dispatcher now races both families and uses whichever connects first. Proxy paths pin family via `proxyTls` and are unaffected. Regression guard: `tests/unit/direct-dispatcher-pipelining-4580.test.ts`. (thanks @adentdk)
+- **fix(combo):** round-robin now advances the rotation pointer past the model that **actually served**, not the eagerly-scheduled one (port from 9router#948, [#6428](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6428)). With `stickyLimit: 1` (true round-robin), when the scheduled model failed and a _different_ model served via fallback, the counter had already advanced +1 from the scheduled index — so the next request reused the fallback-served model, degrading round-robin into hot-spotting on whichever model was healthy. The pointer now advances to the served index + 1 (mirroring the sticky-limit>1 path). Session-stickiness (#3825) and distribution are preserved. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-rr-fallback-advance-948.test.ts`. (thanks @binsarjr)
+- **fix(sse):** a non-string `model` field is now rejected with a `400` before the resolver, instead of crashing downstream `.toLowerCase()`/`.split()` calls into an empty-body `500` that escapes the error sanitizer ([#6407](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6407)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/chat-non-string-model-6407.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** unknown `/api/*` routes now return a JSON `404` (instead of the dashboard HTML shell) and scalar chat params (`model`/`temperature`/etc.) are validated **before** the provider lookup so malformed requests fail fast with a clear `400` ([#6424](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6424), [#6412](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6412)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/api/api-catchall-json-404.test.ts`, `tests/unit/chat-early-schema-validation-6412.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/chat/completions` now rejects a non-JSON `Content-Type` with a `400` before parsing the body ([#6414](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6414)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-chat-completions-content-type-6414.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the `X-OmniRoute-Compression` response header is now echoed on `/v1/chat/completions` and `/v1/completions` ([#6422](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6422)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/compression-header-echo-6422.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** concurrent `GET /v1/models` requests are coalesced into a single catalog build ([#6408](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6408)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-models-concurrent-6408.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/completions` now echoes the requested `body.model` in its JSON + streamed responses ([#6429](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6429)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/completions-body-model-echo.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** env-var master keys now see the full `/v1/models` catalog ([#6406](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6406)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/models-catalog-envkey-6406.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** non-streaming `/v1/completions` responses now echo `body.model` aligned with the `X-OmniRoute-Model` header ([#6426](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6426)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/v1-completions-model-header-match-6426.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** unknown `/v1/*` routes now return a JSON `404 not_found` instead of the Next.js dashboard HTML shell ([#6405](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6405)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/api/v1-catchall-json-404.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the per-connection provider models route now degrades to the shipped catalog when a provider's `/models` endpoint answers with a redirect ([#6267](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6267)) — a `qwen-web` import failed with a raw `Redirect blocked … (307)` 503. `safeOutboundFetch` throws `REDIRECT_BLOCKED` on the 307, `getSafeOutboundFetchErrorStatus` maps it to 503, and `buildDiscoveryErrorFallbackResponse` treated every 503 as a hard error — so the non-empty `getModelsByProviderId("qwen-web")` catalog was never surfaced. A models-endpoint redirect is not a fixable-config error (unlike `URL_GUARD_BLOCKED`/`INVALID_URL`, which stay hard errors), so it now falls back to the local/cached catalog before the 503 short-circuit. General fix — covers any config-driven provider that 307s. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-qwen-web-redirect-6267.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(api):** the per-connection provider models route (MCP `list_models_catalog` + the dashboard import view) now merges USER-ADDED custom models into its response ([#6247](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6247)) — custom models live in the `key_value` namespace `customModels`, which the live REST `/api/v1/models` already merges, but `src/app/api/providers/[id]/models/route.ts` never read `getCustomModels`, so custom models were dropped on both the discovery-success and local_catalog paths. They are now folded into the returned model list (deduped by id, stamped `owned_by: provider`), fixing MCP + the dashboard import view in one place. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-custom-merge-6247.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo tool-calling follow-up turns no longer fail upstream with `422 {"detail":"Validation error"}` (tokens 0/0, rejected pre-inference). The #6234 tool-result-feedback fix serialized the **entire** multi-turn conversation into GitLab's single-file `code_suggestions` (`small_file`) generation endpoint — folded history that turn-N sent as an oversized `current_file.content_above_cursor` **and** duplicated verbatim into `user_instruction`, tripping the AI-Gateway's `small_file` validation guard. The executor now **bounds** that prompt: it keeps system + latest user message + the most-recent tool round (dropping older turns), caps oversized tool results, and stops duplicating the full prompt into `user_instruction` (which now carries only the short latest user message) — while still feeding the most-recent tool result back so the agent continues (`open-sse/executors/gitlab.ts`, [#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)). The unit test covers the bounding logic; the upstream 422→200 clearing is VPS-only (Hard Rule #18). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-exchange-bounded-6220.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(i18n):** the provider-detail (`/dashboard/providers/[id]`) connection-status filter labels no longer render as `__MISSING__:All` / `__MISSING__:Active` / `__MISSING__:Error` / `__MISSING__:Banned` / `__MISSING__:CreditsExhausted` in non-English locales (notably pt-BR) ([#6290](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6290)). Root cause was **not** the namespace mismatch the issue guessed — the `providers.filter*` keys resolve correctly in `en.json`; the debt lived in the locale mirrors (`src/i18n/messages/*.json`), where these five keys carried the `__MISSING__:` sync sentinel in ~15 locales and were absent entirely in ~26 others, so next-intl found the key and echoed the sentinel verbatim. All 40 non-English/-Chinese mirrors now ship real translations for the five `providers.filter*` labels. Regression guard: `tests/unit/i18n-provider-filter-keys-6290.test.ts`. (thanks @diegosouzapw)
+
+- **fix(providers):** the `copilot-m365-web` streaming executor now emits `debug`-level WebSocket diagnostics ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)) — the outbound WS URL (with the `access_token` **redacted** via `redactWsUrl()`), handshake success/failure, and each received SignalR frame's `type`/`target`. Previously the streaming path logged nothing, so an empty `content:null` response (the M365 Education / Starter tier symptom fixed in #6234) was undiagnosable even at `APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug`. The change is debug-level and side-effect-free — it does not alter streaming behavior or the frame parser, and the token never reaches the logs. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-web-logging-6210.test.ts` (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(resilience):** a round-robin combo no longer returns `503 all upstream accounts are unavailable` when a compatibility-rejected target is actually healthy ([#6238](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6238)). `filterTargetsByRequestCompatibility` drops request-incompatible targets (tool/vision/structured-output unsupported, or below the required context window) **before** any availability check runs, and its `compatible.length === 0` safety net only fired when _all_ targets were filtered — not when the kept targets later all turned out runtime-unavailable (circuit-open / cooldown / no credentials). So a combo could 503 while a compat-rejected-but-healthy provider sat unused. `handleRoundRobinCombo` now keeps the compat-rejected set and, when every compat-kept target was skipped without a single real attempt, probes those rejected targets as a **last-resort fallback tier** (via the new pure `open-sse/services/combo/comboCompatFallback.ts`) before crystallizing the 503. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-roundrobin-compat-fallback-6238.test.ts`. (thanks @ThongAccount)
+
+- **fix(startup):** best-effort self-heal for a corrupted Turbopack dev cache on Windows ([#6289](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6289)). On Windows, `pnpm dev` can fail at startup when Turbopack `mmap`s a persistent-cache SST file and the OS refuses the mapping (`os error 1455` — "paging file too small"), which Turbopack surfaces as a misleading `Module not found: Can't resolve '@/shared/utils/machine'`. This is a **known upstream Turbopack cache-corruption bug — not our code**. The dev launcher (`scripts/dev/run-next.mjs`) now wraps `nextApp.prepare()` and, when it rejects with that signature (`isTurbopackCacheCorruption` in the new `scripts/dev/turbopackCacheHeal.mjs`), purges `.build/next/**/cache/turbopack` and retries **once** with a clear log. **Caveat — best-effort only:** the corruption often surfaces as a runtime overlay rather than a `prepare()` rejection, so this cannot always intercept it; the reliable remedy remains manually deleting the Turbopack cache dir. Regression guard: `tests/unit/turbopack-cache-heal-6289.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(providers):** qodercli PAT auth no longer fails with `spawn qodercli ENOENT` on Windows ([#6263](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6263)) — `spawnQoderCli` spawned the bare `qodercli` name with `shell:false` and an unenriched env, so the npm `.cmd` wrapper under `%APPDATA%\npm` (a user-PATH directory) was never resolved. It now resolves the absolute `.cmd`/`.exe` path through the existing `getCliRuntimeStatus("qoder")` resolver in `src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts` (memoized), spawns with `shell` when the target is a `.cmd`/`.bat`, and uses the cliRuntime-enriched env (PATH + PATHEXT + APPDATA); the ENOENT error now lists the searched paths plus the `CLI_QODER_BIN` override. End-to-end spawn on a real Windows host is host-only (Hard Rule #18); the path-resolution logic is unit-tested. Regression guard: `tests/unit/qodercli-windows-resolve-6263.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(sse):** the reasoning-token buffer no longer inflates **probe-sized `max_tokens`** ([#6274](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6274)) — Claude Code's `/model` capability check sends `max_tokens: 1`, but for a thinking-capable model with a large output cap (e.g. `glm-5.2`) the #3587 headroom heuristic (`max(current + 1000, ceil(current * 1.5))`) rewrote it to `1001` and forwarded that upstream, wasting tokens on a request that was never a genuine reasoning budget. `resolveReasoningBufferedMaxTokens()` (`open-sse/services/reasoningTokenBuffer.ts`) now short-circuits and returns the caller's value verbatim when it is below the new `REASONING_BUFFER_MIN_TRIGGER` (256) threshold — a tiny explicit limit is a probe, not a reasoning request. Real budgets still receive the #3587 headroom unchanged, and the guard runs after the existing capability checks so unknown / non-reasoning models keep returning `null`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/reasoning-token-buffer-6274.test.ts`. (thanks @brightfiscalband)
+
+- **fix(cli):** `omniroute reset-password` now works as a real subcommand, and password resets over piped (non-TTY) stdin actually apply ([#6261](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6261), [#6258](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6258)). Two coupled defects: (1) **#6261** — `bin/omniroute.mjs` routed everything through Commander with only two pre-Commander bypasses (`--mcp`, `reset-encrypted-columns`), so `omniroute reset-password` was rejected as an unknown command; only the separate `omniroute-reset-password` bin worked, while the docs falsely advertised the subcommand (incl. a bogus "legacy alias still works"). A pre-Commander bypass mirroring `reset-encrypted-columns` now dynamically imports `bin/reset-password.mjs` (which self-executes) before Commander parses; the three doc lines were corrected. (2) **#6258** — `bin/reset-password.mjs` issued two sequential `rl.question` prompts; under piped stdin the second read never settled at EOF, so `main()` never reached `resetManagementPassword` and the reset was a silent no-op (both prompts printed, no success, password unchanged). The CLI now detects non-TTY stdin and reads it once (first line = password, second line = confirm if present, else reused), adds a `--password-stdin` flag (entire stdin is the password, no confirmation), and exits `0` explicitly so the success line always flushes; interactive TTY behavior is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/reset-password-cli-6261-6258.test.ts` (3). (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(db):** the mass-migration **safety abort** now tells the operator how to bypass it and stops flooding the log ([#6260](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6260)) — after restoring a backup that wiped the migration tracking table, `runMigrations()` threw the abort on every downstream `ensureDbInitialized()`, re-logging the full banner 11+ times, and the message never mentioned the existing `OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS` escape hatch. The abort text now appends a bypass hint (set `OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS=0` in `server.env` / `DATA_DIR/.env`), and a new `MigrationSafetyAbortError` is memoized so repeated calls in the same process throw the same instance and emit a single concise line instead of the full cascade. Regression guard: `tests/unit/migration-safety-abort-6260.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(auth):** importing a **distinct** Codex/ChatGPT OAuth `auth.json` is no longer falsely rejected as "already exists" when it belongs to a different user in the same workspace ([#6301](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6301)). `findExistingCodexConnection` (in `src/lib/oauth/utils/codexAuthImport.ts`) deduped **only** on `providerSpecificData.workspaceId === accountId`, where `accountId` is the shared `chatgpt_account_id`/`tokens.account_id` — so two members of the same ChatGPT Team collapsed onto a single connection (409 `duplicate_account`). The id_token's `https://api.openai.com/auth` claim carries a per-user `chatgpt_user_id` alongside the workspace id (the device-flow path already persisted it as `chatgptUserId`, but the import path did not). Now `parseAndValidateCodexAuth` extracts `userId` (`chatgpt_user_id` → `user_id` → JWT `sub`) into `ParsedCodexAuth`, the create/update paths persist `chatgptUserId` in `providerSpecificData` (mirroring `codex.ts`), and dedup keys on `workspaceId` **AND** `chatgptUserId` — with a backward-compat fallback to legacy accountId-only matching when no stored connection for that workspace records a `chatgptUserId`, so genuinely-same accounts still dedup. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-auth-import-userid-dedup-6301.test.ts` (4). (thanks @anungma)
+
+- **fix(providers):** importing models for the **venice-web** provider no longer fails with a red "Provider venice-web does not support models listing" ([#6269](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6269)). `venice-web` is a web-cookie provider with an executor but no upstream `/v1/models` endpoint and no registry `models`, so the models route fell through to the tail `400`. Mirroring the `jules`/`linkup-search`/`ollama-search` fix (#5569), it now ships a static local catalog entry in `src/lib/providers/staticModels.ts` — seeding the current Venice lineup (`venice-uncensored`, `llama-3.3-70b`, `qwen3-235b`, `qwen3-4b`, `deepseek-r1-671b`; Venice rotates its catalog, see docs.venice.ai/models/overview) — so the route returns `200` with `source:"local_catalog"`, `intentional:true`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/static-models-venice-web-6269.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+
+- **fix(api):** the specialty model catalogs (`/v1/embeddings`, `/v1/images`, `/v1/music`, `/v1/videos` model lists) are now derived from the **unified catalog filtered by a predicate** (`getSpecialtyModelsResponse`) instead of ad-hoc per-route logic, so they consistently respect active-credential visibility and stay in sync with the main catalog ([#6303](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6303)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/specialty-model-catalog-routes.test.ts`. (thanks @makcimbx)
+- **fix(api):** the agent-bridge server route now resolves the MITM manager via a **dynamic `import("@/mitm/manager.runtime")`** so Turbopack does not statically pull the stub (or over-bundle the manager), and the agent-skills generator anchors its output base path with `path.join(process.cwd(), …)` so Turbopack's static analyzer stops tracing the whole project root ([#6329](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6329), [#6366](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6366)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/agent-bridge-server-route-dynamic-import.test.ts`. (thanks @Iammilansoni)
+- **fix(api):** internal probes (combo-test, cloud-sync verify) now pick a **management-scoped / allow-all API key** instead of naively grabbing `getApiKeys()[0]` — a restricted `self:usage` first row made the probe fail with "Model X is not allowed for this API key" even when the combo path was healthy (`pickApiKeyForInternalUse` in `src/lib/db/apiKeys.ts`). The API-manager model editor also falls back to `/api/models?all=true` when `/v1/models` is catalog-protected ([#6372](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6372)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/pick-internal-api-key-6372.test.ts`. (thanks @jmengit)
+- **fix(live-ws):** the Live Dashboard WebSocket server now **rejects on bind failure** (e.g. `EADDRINUSE` when the API bridge already holds the port) instead of letting the error surface as an unhandled `error` event that crash-loops the process — the `error` listener is attached to `wss` (not `server`) and releases the EventBus subscription on a failed start ([#6324](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6324)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/live-ws-eaddrinuse-6324.test.ts`. (thanks @vinayakkulkarni)
+- **fix(dashboard):** the Home provider-topology widget now trusts the live provider-metrics snapshot — it uses `topology.errorProvider` and live `activeRequests` directly instead of re-deriving state from a stale `lastErrorAt` or applying a frontend timeout filter, so the topology reflects real-time provider health ([#6322](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6322)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/home-provider-topology-live-state.test.ts`. (thanks @xz-dev)
+- **fix(sse):** strip zero-width markers from streamed **tool-call arguments** — a follow-up to [#5857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5857). That PR removed injected zero-width joiners (U+200D) from streamed assistant text/reasoning but deliberately left tool-call argument JSON byte-exact. The request-side obfuscation (`open-sse/services/claudeCodeObfuscation.ts`) injects ZWJ into agent words — including the temp path inside the Bash tool description — and Claude models copy that verbatim into generated commands, which are delivered as tool-call arguments rather than assistant text. As a result the ZWJ survived and corrupted code blocks (e.g. a temp path rendered with an invisible joiner). Now `open-sse/handlers/responseSanitizer.ts` strips zero-width code points from tool-call argument strings at every emit site (OpenAI non-stream/stream chat `tool_calls` + legacy `function_call`, native Responses `function_call` items, the OpenAI→Responses conversion, and the native Responses streaming `response.function_call_arguments.delta/.done` events). Only zero-width code points are removed; JSON structure and all other bytes stay identical (no parse/restringify), so normal arguments remain byte-exact. Regression guard: 6 new cases in `tests/unit/response-sanitizer.test.ts` (suite 50/50).
+
+- **fix(nodejs):** the default app log path now resolves under `DATA_DIR` (`~/.omniroute/logs/application/app.log`) instead of `process.cwd()` ([#6197](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6197)) — the globally-installed CLI runs from an arbitrary working directory, so anchoring the default to cwd made file logging silently write to (or no-op under) an unrelated directory, contradicting the documented `.env.example` default. `getAppLogFilePath()` now computes the default lazily via the pure `resolveDataDir()` resolver (honours a per-process `DATA_DIR`, no directory-creation side effect); an explicit `APP_LOG_FILE_PATH` still wins. Regression guard: `tests/unit/logenv-datadir-path-6197.test.ts` (3).
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge/`startMitm` no longer aborts in containers/headless when the Antigravity-default DNS step can't write `/etc/hosts` ([#6127](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6127)), and the privileged command's stderr now reaches `app.log` instead of only a bare exit code hitting the toast ([#6198](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6198)). The default DNS step (`addDNSEntry`) was called unguarded while cert install and the two sibling DNS steps were each best-effort — in the runtime Docker image (`USER node`, no `sudo`, read-only `/etc/hosts`) it threw `Command failed with code 1` out of `startMitmInternal` and killed the whole start, discarding the stderr. The three DNS steps are extracted into a best-effort `provisionDnsEntries()` where each failure is logged with the full `err` (stderr included, folded in by `systemCommands.ts`) and never aborts the start. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-dns-graceful-degrade-6127.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** copilot-m365-web now supports the M365 Education "Starter / OfficeWebIncludedCopilot" tier and no longer returns an empty `content:null` stream ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)). Two gaps: (1) `buildWsUrl()` hardcoded the individual-consumer scenario (`OfficeWebPaidConsumerCopilot`, `isEdu=false`) — the EDU tier is now opt-in via `providerSpecificData.tier="edu"`, emitting `scenario=OfficeWebIncludedCopilot`/`isEdu=true` (the individual path is unchanged); (2) the EDU/GPT-5.5 path streams deltas via `arguments[0].writeAtCursor` (incremental) instead of only `messages[].text` (accumulated snapshots), which the parser dropped — a new `accumulateBotContent()` folds both formats, with `type:2 item.result.message` as a last-resort fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-edu-writeatcursor-6210.test.ts` (10). (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo executor now feeds tool results back into the prompt instead of looping ([#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)) — `buildPrompt()` branched only on `system`/`user` and took `userParts.at(-1)`, silently dropping the `assistant{tool_calls}` + `tool{result}` turns the client appended, so the reconstructed prompt was byte-identical to turn 1 and the model re-emitted the same `<tool>` call forever. When a tool exchange is present the full conversation is now serialized, folding each tool result back keyed by its `tool_call_id`; simple conversations keep the legacy shape. Complements the tool_call emission from [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051) (the `kilo-duplicate` label was a false positive — different, sequential defect). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-result-feedback-6220.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** opencode-go/opencode-zen can now synthesize the OpenCode CLI identity headers Cloudflare requires on VPS egress ([#5997](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5997)) — on a datacenter VPS, `opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/chat/completions` 403s (HTML challenge) requests lacking CLI identity, while the reporter's control curl proved that `User-Agent: opencode-cli/1.0.0` + `x-opencode-client: cli` + `x-opencode-project: default` + fresh request/session UUIDs succeed. Opt-in via `OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS=true` (values overridable via `OPENCODE_GO_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_CLIENT`/`OPENCODE_PROJECT`); it fills only headers the client did not already send. Kept **off by default** — the forward-only path is deliberate (fabricating a wrong value risks upstream rejection; a prior dedup regressed with `opencode/local`), so this replaces the fragile local header-injection shim without changing default behavior. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-cli-headers-synthesis-5997.test.ts` (6). (thanks @aleksesipenko)
+- fix(resilience): sticky session affinity now evicts and fails over to another account when the pinned account is exhausted/unavailable (#6219)
+
+- fix(sse): Responses API passthrough now drops internal commentary-phase output before forwarding to clients (gated by RESPONSES_PASSTHROUGH_DROP_COMMENTARY, default on) (#6199)
+
+- **fix(sse):** tool-call function schemas with a root `type: null` are now coerced to `type: "object"` before dispatch ([#6359](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6359)) — clients like the Codex app emit `parameters: { type: null, ... }` for some tools, which OpenAI-compatible upstreams reject with `400 Invalid schema for function '...': schema must be a JSON Schema of 'type: "object"', got 'type: null'`, failing the whole request. `toolSchemaSanitizer` already stripped the null; it now re-adds the mandatory root `"object"` type (and empty `properties`/open `additionalProperties` when absent). Combinator roots (`anyOf`/`oneOf`/`allOf`) and explicit root types are left untouched. Regression guard: 5 new cases in `tests/unit/tool-schema-sanitizer.test.mjs`.
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge no longer fails to start on npm/Electron/VPS installs with "MITM manager stub reached at runtime" ([#6344](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6344)) — v3.8.45 flipped the production bundler default to Turbopack, but `next.config.mjs` aliased `@/mitm/manager` to its Docker-only degraded stub **unconditionally**. That was harmless while Docker (which sets the alias intentionally for #3390 graceful degradation) was the sole Turbopack consumer, but once every artifact built with Turbopack the stub shipped to all non-Docker users and `startMitm` threw on the first Agent-Bridge start. The alias is now opt-in via `OMNIROUTE_MITM_STUB=1` (set only by the Dockerfile) through the shared `scripts/build/mitm-stub-flag.mjs` helper; default builds bundle the real manager. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-stub-alias-6344.test.mjs` (4).
+
+- **fix(proxy):** stop the v3.8.44 proxy regression that leaked the real IP and disabled healthy proxies ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Two coupled defects from the new health scheduler: (1) **IP leak** — when a proxy assigned to a connection was marked `inactive`, resolution fell through to a **direct** egress instead of blocking, exposing the operator's real IP; (2) **over-deactivation** — the sweep flipped a proxy to `inactive` on the **first** failed probe and counted our own 5s timeout / a probe-target `5xx` as the proxy's fault, so healthy paid proxies vanished from egress selection ("my proxies are not being used anymore"). Fix: the sweep decision is extracted into a pure, network-free `decideProxyHealthAction` (`src/lib/proxyHealth/decision.ts`) — by default the health check now **only counts/logs and never downgrades status** (a proxy is downgraded/removed only with `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE=true`, after `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE_AFTER` **consecutive** conclusive failures); probes are classified tri-state so an inconclusive result (our timeout, or a `5xx` from the probe target) never penalizes the proxy, and the probe timeout is raised 5s→15s. Separately, `safeResolveProxy` now **fails closed** via the existing policy: a connection whose assigned proxy is dead is blocked instead of leaking direct (`hasBlockingProxyAssignment`), honoring the explicit `proxy off` toggles and the `PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true` opt-out. Existing proxies stuck `inactive` by the old behavior need a one-time manual re-activate (the operator owns proxy status). Regression guards: `tests/unit/proxy-health-decide-action-6246.test.ts`, `tests/unit/proxy-assigned-unavailable-6246.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(proxy):** make "Test All" read-only and add bulk enable/disable ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Complements the core fail-closed / scheduler fix (#6296) with the two remaining reporter asks. (1) The **"Test All" button** (`POST /api/settings/proxies/auto-test`) used to flip a proxy to `inactive` on a failed reachability probe; since the egress selector excludes `inactive` proxies, a flaky probe (an unreachable `httpbin.org`, a proxy that blocks `HEAD`, or a slow paid proxy) silently disabled every proxy that failed — "Test All" is now **read-only by default** (only the operator sets a proxy active/inactive; opt back into the legacy test-and-set with `PROXY_HEALTH_AUTO_DEACTIVATE=true`). (2) Adds a **bulk enable/disable** proxies endpoint + toolbar action (`POST /api/settings/proxies/batch-activate`) so an operator can re-activate proxies in one click. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-health-6246.test.ts`. (thanks @tenshiak)
+
+- **chatcore (tools): stop the default 128-tool cap from silently dropping opencode's `task`/MCP tools.** opencode (used as an MCP/agent host) sends a large tool list; when it exceeds the speculative `MAX_TOOLS_LIMIT` (128) default, `truncateToolList` did a blind `tools.slice(0, 128)`, dropping every tool past index 128 — including opencode's built-in `task` tool (subagent launch) and many MCP tools, so models routed through OmniRoute could no longer spawn subagents or reach part of their tools. The cap exists to avoid upstream `400`s for providers with real hard limits (e.g. grok-cli 200), so it is kept for those: detection of the opencode client (`isOpencodeClient` — any `x-opencode-*` header, or `opencode` in the user-agent) now only bypasses the **speculative 128 default**, never a known provider ceiling. Precedence is explicit — a proactive/detected provider limit always truncates (even for opencode); otherwise opencode forwards its full tool list; otherwise the unchanged 128 default applies to every other client. Refactors `getEffectiveToolLimit` into `getKnownToolLimit(provider) ?? DEFAULT_LIMIT` (byte-identical for existing callers) and fixes a cosmetic debug-log that reported the truncated count instead of the original. Regression guard: `tests/unit/tool-limit-detector.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the macOS MITM-cert install check now matches the system keychain again. `security find-certificate -a -Z` prints the SHA-1 as a colon-less hex string, but the installed-check compared it against `getCertFingerprint()`'s colon-separated form, so the substring match never hit — the cert was reported as not-installed and re-prompted for the sudo install on every run. Fingerprints are now normalized (colons stripped, upper-cased) on both sides via the extracted `macCertOutputHasFingerprint` helper. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-cert-mac-fingerprint.test.ts`. ([#6204](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6204), closes [#6134](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6134) — thanks @rianonehub)
+
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/messages/count_tokens` now counts `tool_use`, `tool_result` and `thinking` content blocks (and array-form `system` prompts) in the local-estimation path, instead of only `text`. Real agentic conversations keep ~95% of their tokens inside tool results; the previous estimate returned near-zero for them, which silently broke Claude Code's auto-compaction (context grew past the window with no compaction until the upstream API rejected the request). The real provider-side count path is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/messages-count-tokens-route.test.ts`. ([#6221](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6221) — thanks @luweiCN)
+
+- **fix(antigravity):** strip a trailing assistant prefill turn for Vertex Claude models to avoid upstream 400s ([#6114](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6114)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-claude-prefill-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(security):** the mutable cloud-agent routes (`/api/cloud/credentials/update`, `/api/cloud/models/alias`) now require management auth instead of being treated as public. They were classified as public API routes, so a request without management credentials could update stored cloud-agent credentials and model aliases. They are removed from the public-route set, classified as management routes in the authz pipeline, and gated by `requireManagementAuth`; cloud **read**/auth routes stay public. Regression guards: `tests/unit/cloud-write-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts`, `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6233](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6233) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+
+- **refactor(dashboard):** extract the onboarding-wizard "Open provider details" link target into a pure, unit-tested `buildProviderDetailsHref(connection)` helper. The wizard already routes by `connection.id` (the node UUID) rather than the provider category slug (#6144/#6145); this hardens that behavior behind a tested helper that guards a missing id/connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-onboarding-href.test.ts`. ([#6166](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6166) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+
+- **fix(security):** the doubao synthetic device-id generator now derives its digits via an unbiased crypto-random draw (rejection sampling over `crypto.randomBytes()`) instead of a `% 10` reduction, closing a CodeQL `js/biased-cryptographic-random` finding.
+- **fix(agentSkills):** the GitHub-skills generator now resolves `outputDir` to an absolute path before writing, fixing a regression introduced by #6366 (relative-to-cwd base path) that could write generated skill files to the wrong directory.
+- **fix(security):** `/api/keys/{id}/devices` now checks the HTTP method before auth/validation, returning a `405` for non-GET/DELETE verbs instead of a misleading `401`/`500` (closes a `dast-smoke` QUERY-method finding).
+- **fix(quality):** clear the last 2 heavy quality-gate reds on the release tip (cycle pre-flight).
+- **fix(mitm):** the test suite and CI can never mutate the OS trust store — `OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1` is set globally for tests/CI so `installCert`/`uninstallCert`/`installTproxyCa` skip the privileged OS dispatch ([#6310](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6310); full detail is under the [3.8.45] section below — this branch received it via the parallel-cycle sync-back).
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/github-skills` now Zod-validates its request body; documented the new quality-gate env vars and pinned the merge-integrity GitHub Actions to a commit SHA.
+- **fix(skills):** generate the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry and align the agent-skills catalog-count tests (follow-up to #6186).
+- **fix(quality):** clear the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors and make `validate-release-green` suppressions-aware.
+- **fix(security):** proxy-pool `random` rotation now selects via `crypto.randomInt` instead of `Math.random` — silences the post-release CodeQL `js/insecure-randomness` alerts (#698/#699) that flagged `Math.random` flowing into the selected proxy's credentials. Load-balancing selection is not a secret, but the crypto source is unbiased and clears the alert at the origin (#6365 follow-up).
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **i18n(it):** add 118 missing Italian (`it`) translations (net-additive — no existing keys dropped, valid JSON), improving Italian UI coverage. ([#6212](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6212) — thanks @serverless83)
+- **chore(providers):** remove deprecated **MiMo V2** model entries from the catalogs (xiaomi-mimo, opencode-go, zenmux-free, audio TTS) — the upstream V2 line is superseded by MiMo V2.5; drops `mimo-v2-tts`, `mimo-v2-pro`, `mimo-v2-omni`, `mimo-v2-flash`, `mimo-v2-flash-free` and realigns the provider-catalog tests. ([#6248](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6248) — thanks @backryun)
+- **chore(release):** ~50 commits on this branch are v3.8.45 pre-flight/hardening fixes and CI-perf work that landed here via the parallel-cycle sync-back (`sync-next-cycle.mjs`, Hard Rule #21) **after** the `v3.8.45` git tag was cut, and are already fully documented under the **[3.8.45]** section below — listed here only so the per-cycle commit-coverage check (`npm run release:uncovered`) doesn't flag them as gaps. Provider/catalog/UX/backend fixes: #6041, #6078, #6108, #6135, #6148, #6149, #6154, #6158, #6161, #6162, #6163, #6164, #6165, #6170, #6177, #6178, #6181, #6186, #6187, #6191, #6193, #6194, #6195, #6200, #6205, #6208, #6209, #6211, #6213, #6223, #6224, #6225, #6226, #6227, #6228, #6229, #6230, #6235, #6291, #6292. CI/release-pipeline work: #6167, #6203, #6214, #6215, #6218, #6273, #6275, #6283, #6284, #6285, #6300, #6305.
+- **chore(release):** additional zero-ref release-cycle plumbing on this branch, kept out of `release:uncovered` on purpose (no `#N` in the commit subject to cite): opening the v3.8.46 cycle, opening/closing the v3.8.45 cycle, the finalized [3.8.45] CHANGELOG i18n sync-back to 42 mirrors, the v3.8.45 cognitive/cyclomatic and file-size drift rebaselines, ESLint stale-suppression pruning (4,273 → 4,233), and clearing test-masking/docs-all pre-flight reds for v3.8.45.
+
+### ⚡ Performance & Infrastructure
+
+- **perf(release-green):** the pre-flight validator (`scripts/quality/validate-release-green.mjs`) now runs its 4 slow suites (unit / vitest / integration / pack-artifact) **concurrently** via `Promise.all` — pre-flight wall time drops from ~the sum of the suites to ~the slowest one (~30min saved per round; Phase 0 was the nº1 bottleneck of the v3.8.45 release benchmark, 2h54 of 6h34 e2e). Guard: `tests/unit/validate-release-green.test.ts` ("runs the slow suites CONCURRENTLY"). ([#6319](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6319))
+- **fix(ci):** `scripts/release/sync-next-cycle.mjs` — two defects found live in its first production run (v3.8.45 Phase 5): (1) the `git()` helper's default 1 MiB `maxBuffer` crashed with `ENOBUFS` on `git show origin/main:CHANGELOG.md` (the CHANGELOG alone is >1 MiB) — widened to 64 MiB; (2) the i18n resync only propagated the `[NEXT]` (TBD) section, leaving the just-shipped finalized section as "— TBD" in all 42 mirrors — it now also syncs `[prevVersion]` bounded by the heading below it (new exported pure helper `versionAfter`). Guards: +5 tests in `tests/unit/sync-next-cycle.test.ts` (8/8). ([#6327](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6327))
+- **test(ci):** concurrency-sensitive flaky tests are **quarantined into a serial pass** (`tests/unit/serial/`, `--test-concurrency=1`, appended to every unit runner incl. sharded variants — the serial pass is sharded too so concurrent shard jobs never self-collide). Initial set: `glm-coding-plan-monthly-3580`, `quota-division-blocks`, `provider-health-autopilot`, `combo-health-autopilot` — the class behind the ~28min CI wedges/re-runs (two live 1h+ wedges cancelled during this PR's own validation). Discovery + TIA gates track the new glob; systemic root cause (async logger writing after teardown) tracked in [#6360](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6360). Guard: `tests/unit/test-serial-quarantine.test.ts` (4). ([#6347](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6347))

+## [3.8.45] — 2026-07-06
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(providers):** add **Yuanbao (web)** as a cookie-session provider ([#6196](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6196)) — `yuanbao-web` (Tencent Yuanbao, `yuanbao.tencent.com`) with cookie-only auth (`hy_user`/`hy_token` + public agent id), SSE→OpenAI translation incl. `reasoning_content`, exposing DeepSeek V3/R1 + Hunyuan / Hunyuan-T1. Regression guard: `tests/unit/providers-yuanbao-web.test.ts`. `together-web` was **deferred** (no verifiable web-session endpoint — needs a captured request) and `huggingchat-web` **dropped** (the existing `huggingchat` already is a web-cookie provider). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** route the built-in **agentrouter** through the dynamic Claude-Code wire image ([#6056](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6056)) — a small static allow-set (`CC_WIRE_IMAGE_BUILTINS` in `open-sse/services/ccWireImageBuiltins.ts`), consulted by `isClaudeCodeCompatible` / `isClaudeCodeCompatibleProvider` / `applyFingerprint`, makes agentrouter adopt the CC wire-image headers + fingerprint **while guarding the CC baseUrl/auth branches** so it keeps its own registry `baseUrl` and `x-api-key` auth. Regression guard: `tests/unit/agentrouter-cc-wire-image.test.ts` (asserts the wire image is applied AND agentrouter's baseUrl/auth are preserved). Live WAF-acceptance against agentrouter.org is a VPS validation follow-up (Hard Rule #18).
+- **feat(providers):** **bulk-add API keys for Cloudflare Workers AI** ([#6174](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6174)) — `cloudflare-ai` is removed from the bulk-add exclusion list and the bulk parser gains a 3-field `name|accountId|apiKey` mode; the bulk route now builds a **per-entry** `providerSpecificData` so each key carries its own `accountId` (fixing the previous shared-object reuse), and both the create + key-validation paths receive it. Regression guard: `tests/unit/bulk-api-key-parser-cloudflare.test.ts`. (thanks @muflifadla38)
+- **feat(dashboard):** routing/settings UX clarity ([#6147](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6147)) — (1) weighted combos show the **effective routing share %** next to each weight when weights don't sum to 100 (`WeightTotalBar.tsx`); (2) the status widget's user-facing **"Cloud Sync" label is renamed** to "Remote Settings Sync" (`CloudSyncStatus.tsx`; internal ids/state untouched); (3) built-in providers gain an **opt-in advanced base-URL override** (`isBaseUrlOverrideEligibleProvider`, hidden behind an "Advanced" toggle, reusing the existing `providerSpecificData.baseUrl` persistence — not globally widened). Regression guard: `tests/unit/routing-settings-ux-6147.test.ts`.
+- **feat(combo):** add an option to **disable session stickiness**, per-combo or globally — round-robin / random combos can rotate to a different connection on every request instead of pinning a whole conversation to one connection by its first-message hash. Resolution precedence per-combo `config.disableSessionStickiness` → global `settings.disableSessionStickiness` → default `false` (preserves the #3825 prompt-cache/504 fix); gates **both** stickiness call sites in `open-sse/services/combo.ts`. Exposed as a global toggle (Combo Defaults) and a per-combo Inherit/on/off control. ([#6168](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6168)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-disable-session-stickiness.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
+- **feat(docker):** add the `OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO` env flag for root-less / user-namespaced deployments — the MITM cert-trust command path (`resolveSudoSpawn` in `src/mitm/systemCommands.ts`) now strips the leading `sudo` when the flag is truthy, in addition to the existing root / sudo-missing cases, so the Proxy Agent runs without `sudo` (the operator trusts the CA manually, e.g. via `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`). Argv-array `spawn` preserved — no shell interpolation (Hard Rule #13). ([#6122](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6122)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-systemCommands-no-sudo.test.ts`. (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Requesty** as an OpenAI-compatible gateway provider (BYOK, base `https://router.requesty.ai/v1`, ~200 free requests/day) — wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/requesty/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/gateways.ts`). ([#6120](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6120)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/requesty-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add **configured-only / available-only filters** to the Free Provider Rankings page ([#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150)) — hide providers you haven't configured, or whose connections are all rate-limited / out of quota, via server-side query params (`?configuredOnly` / `?availableOnly` on `GET /api/free-provider-rankings`) backed by a testable lib helper reusing the in-process connection state (no Redis). Both filters default off, so the default view is unchanged; this supersedes the earlier client-side "Configured Only" toggle (#6245) with an available-only dimension and unit-tested logic. Regression guard: `tests/unit/freeProviderRankings-filters.test.ts`.
+- **feat(rankings):** add a **'Configured Only'** filter to the Free Provider Rankings page, so the table can be narrowed to just the providers you have configured connections for (with an empty-state hint when none are configured). New `en.json` keys and a pure filter helper covered by `tests/unit/free-provider-rankings-configured-filter.test.ts`. ([#6245](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6245), closes [#6150](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6150) — thanks @Iammilansoni)
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the test suite and CI can never mutate the OS trust store again — `OMNIROUTE_SKIP_SYSTEM_TRUST=1` (set by the global test setup and all CI workflows) makes `installCert`/`uninstallCert`/`installTproxyCa` skip the privileged OS dispatch while preserving the #4546 environment-skip contract. Root cause of the self-hosted runner incident: a cert-flow integration test installed a 105-byte fake PEM into `/usr/local/share/ca-certificates`, breaking ALL system TLS on the VM. Regression guard: `tests/unit/system-trust-test-guard.test.ts`. ([#6310](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6310))
+- **fix(security):** `/api/keys/{id}/devices` answers a clean method-first **405** for undocumented HTTP methods (e.g. the new `QUERY`) via a dedicated `http-method-guard` rule — the auth layer was answering 401 first, failing schemathesis's unsupported-methods check. Same pattern as the v3.8.44 TRACE fix. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dast-method-not-allowed.test.ts`.
+- **fix(combo):** the #6216 empty-stream failover is restricted to **truly empty bodies** (zero bytes — the Gemini HTTP-200-empty case), restoring the #3399/#3685 pass-through contracts for `[DONE]`-terminated empty streams and incomplete Claude lifecycles. New guard: `#5976 truly EMPTY streaming body → invalid for combo failover` (87/87 across both suites).
+- **fix(combo):** 5 streaming-path fixes — locked-stream 500, error-frame-only-if-no-content, Gemini `MALFORMED_RESPONSE`→content_filter failover, correlationId substring search, per-model-500 lockout skip + request-logger UI detail. Maintainer follow-up: `releaseQualityClone` cancels the abandoned quality-check tee branch (per-request memory) + regression test. ([#6216](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6216) — thanks @hartmark)
+- **fix(skills):** generate the missing `omni-github-skills` registry entry (the #6186 catalog addition never ran the generator — 8 integration assertions split between old/new counts) and align the agent-skills catalog counts across integration + unit suites (43 = 23 API + 20 CLI; 44 with config).
+- **fix(a2a):** finish the #6186 catalog-count update — `listCapabilities` metadata reported `coverage.api.total: 22` (type literal + value) and `SkillCoverageSchema` pinned `z.literal(22)`, so the schema would REJECT the correct runtime value with 23 API skills. All three aligned to 23.
+- **fix(github-skills):** add a missing import, unit tests and a settings JSON-parse fix for the GitHub agent-skill discovery/import flow. ([#6186](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6186) — thanks @Moseyuh333)
+- **fix(api):** `POST /api/github-skills` validates its body with a Zod schema (`validateBody`) instead of blind `request.json()` destructuring — a non-array `targets` would crash `.map`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/github-skills-route-validation.test.ts`.
+- **fix(docker):** add `id=` to the BuildKit cache mounts so strict builders (e.g. buildkitd with strict frontend parsing) accept the Dockerfile. ([#6291](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6291) — thanks @karimalsalah)
+- **fix(oauth):** register `zed` in the OAuth `PROVIDERS` map (fixes "Unknown provider" on the Zed sign-in flow) ([#6078](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6078) — thanks @anki1kr), and align `zed` in `OAUTH_PROVIDER_IDS` + the config enum after the merge.
+- **fix(doubao-web):** switch the Doubao web provider to the Dola global endpoint. ([#6235](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6235) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(doctor):** resolve two false-positive WARNs in the doctor diagnostics ([#6163](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6163), closes [#6162](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6162) — thanks @arssnndr)
+- **fix(providers):** refresh the GitHub Copilot model catalog to the current upstream set. ([#6154](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6154) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(providers):** correct the Kiro model catalog to real upstream ids — fabricated `claude-opus-4.7`/`claude-sonnet-4.6` entries removed, real `claude-sonnet-5`/`claude-sonnet-4.5`/`claude-haiku-4.5` kept. ([#6170](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6170))
+- **feat(sse):** surface Kiro adaptive-thinking reasoning frames as `reasoning_content` in the OpenAI-shaped stream. ([#6213](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6213) — thanks @VXNCXNX)
+- **fix(cli):** use `OMNIROUTE_SERVER_HOST` instead of the POSIX auto-set `HOSTNAME` for the bind address (fixes wrong bind on POSIX shells that export HOSTNAME). ([#6195](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6195), closes [#6194](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6194) — thanks @Theadd)
+- **feat(provider):** add Claude 5 Sonnet to the Claude Web provider catalog. ([#6209](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6209), closes [#6200](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6200) — thanks @Iammilansoni)
+- **fix(providers):** add `nvidia` to `PROVIDER_TOOL_LIMITS` (1536) to prevent silent tool-list truncation. ([#6177](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6177) — thanks @LuisAlejandroVega)
+- **fix(translator):** strip the `reasoning` param for nvidia `z-ai/glm-5.2` (upstream 400s on it). ([#6181](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6181) — thanks @kanztu)
+- **fix(dashboard):** providers page gains a data-timeout guard and the live-WS standalone wiring (no more indefinite spinner when the data fetch stalls). ([#6211](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6211))
+- **fix(sse):** surface the ChatGPT-web image silent-drop as an accurate error instead of an empty success. ([#6208](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6208))
+- **fix(cline):** force upstream streaming for Cline/ClinePass (streaming-only API) — non-stream client requests are served from the buffered SSE. ([#6165](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6165))
+- **fix(dashboard):** remove the always-on Auto-Routing (combo) banner from the home page — it did not reflect live routing state and reappeared on every fresh browser. Replacement guard: `tests/unit/home-no-autorouting-banner.test.ts`. ([#6164](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6164))
+- **fix(dashboard):** stop a model-test error from freezing the page (React #31 object-as-child toast) — errors go through `extractApiErrorMessage`. ([#6161](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6161))
+- **fix(oauth):** extract the keychain-import-only guard to its own module, restoring the oauth file-size freeze. ([#6158](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6158))
+
+- **fix(sse):** strip zero-width markers from streamed **tool-call arguments** — a follow-up to [#5857](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5857). That PR removed injected zero-width joiners (U+200D) from streamed assistant text/reasoning but deliberately left tool-call argument JSON byte-exact. The request-side obfuscation (`open-sse/services/claudeCodeObfuscation.ts`) injects ZWJ into agent words — including the temp path inside the Bash tool description — and Claude models copy that verbatim into generated commands, which are delivered as tool-call arguments rather than assistant text. As a result the ZWJ survived and corrupted code blocks (e.g. a temp path rendered with an invisible joiner). Now `open-sse/handlers/responseSanitizer.ts` strips zero-width code points from tool-call argument strings at every emit site (OpenAI non-stream/stream chat `tool_calls` + legacy `function_call`, native Responses `function_call` items, the OpenAI→Responses conversion, and the native Responses streaming `response.function_call_arguments.delta/.done` events). Only zero-width code points are removed; JSON structure and all other bytes stay identical (no parse/restringify), so normal arguments remain byte-exact. Regression guard: 6 new cases in `tests/unit/response-sanitizer.test.ts` (suite 50/50).
+
+- **fix(nodejs):** the default app log path now resolves under `DATA_DIR` (`~/.omniroute/logs/application/app.log`) instead of `process.cwd()` ([#6197](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6197)) — the globally-installed CLI runs from an arbitrary working directory, so anchoring the default to cwd made file logging silently write to (or no-op under) an unrelated directory, contradicting the documented `.env.example` default. `getAppLogFilePath()` now computes the default lazily via the pure `resolveDataDir()` resolver (honours a per-process `DATA_DIR`, no directory-creation side effect); an explicit `APP_LOG_FILE_PATH` still wins. Regression guard: `tests/unit/logenv-datadir-path-6197.test.ts` (3). (root cause independently diagnosed by @subhansh-dev in [#6298](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6298) — thanks!)
+
+- **fix(docker):** AgentBridge/`startMitm` no longer aborts in containers/headless when the Antigravity-default DNS step can't write `/etc/hosts` ([#6127](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6127)), and the privileged command's stderr now reaches `app.log` instead of only a bare exit code hitting the toast ([#6198](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6198)). The default DNS step (`addDNSEntry`) was called unguarded while cert install and the two sibling DNS steps were each best-effort — in the runtime Docker image (`USER node`, no `sudo`, read-only `/etc/hosts`) it threw `Command failed with code 1` out of `startMitmInternal` and killed the whole start, discarding the stderr. The three DNS steps are extracted into a best-effort `provisionDnsEntries()` where each failure is logged with the full `err` (stderr included, folded in by `systemCommands.ts`) and never aborts the start. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-dns-graceful-degrade-6127.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** copilot-m365-web now supports the M365 Education "Starter / OfficeWebIncludedCopilot" tier and no longer returns an empty `content:null` stream ([#6210](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6210)). Two gaps: (1) `buildWsUrl()` hardcoded the individual-consumer scenario (`OfficeWebPaidConsumerCopilot`, `isEdu=false`) — the EDU tier is now opt-in via `providerSpecificData.tier="edu"`, emitting `scenario=OfficeWebIncludedCopilot`/`isEdu=true` (the individual path is unchanged); (2) the EDU/GPT-5.5 path streams deltas via `arguments[0].writeAtCursor` (incremental) instead of only `messages[].text` (accumulated snapshots), which the parser dropped — a new `accumulateBotContent()` folds both formats, with `type:2 item.result.message` as a last-resort fallback. Regression guard: `tests/unit/copilot-m365-edu-writeatcursor-6210.test.ts` (10). (thanks @qpeyba)
+
+- **fix(providers):** GitLab Duo executor now feeds tool results back into the prompt instead of looping ([#6220](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6220)) — `buildPrompt()` branched only on `system`/`user` and took `userParts.at(-1)`, silently dropping the `assistant{tool_calls}` + `tool{result}` turns the client appended, so the reconstructed prompt was byte-identical to turn 1 and the model re-emitted the same `<tool>` call forever. When a tool exchange is present the full conversation is now serialized, folding each tool result back keyed by its `tool_call_id`; simple conversations keep the legacy shape. Complements the tool_call emission from [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051) (the `kilo-duplicate` label was a false positive — different, sequential defect). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-tool-result-feedback-6220.test.ts` (4).
+
+- **fix(providers):** opencode-go/opencode-zen can now synthesize the OpenCode CLI identity headers Cloudflare requires on VPS egress ([#5997](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5997)) — on a datacenter VPS, `opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/chat/completions` 403s (HTML challenge) requests lacking CLI identity, while the reporter's control curl proved that `User-Agent: opencode-cli/1.0.0` + `x-opencode-client: cli` + `x-opencode-project: default` + fresh request/session UUIDs succeed. Opt-in via `OPENCODE_SYNTHESIZE_CLI_HEADERS=true` (values overridable via `OPENCODE_GO_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_USER_AGENT`/`OPENCODE_CLIENT`/`OPENCODE_PROJECT`); it fills only headers the client did not already send. Kept **off by default** — the forward-only path is deliberate (fabricating a wrong value risks upstream rejection; a prior dedup regressed with `opencode/local`), so this replaces the fragile local header-injection shim without changing default behavior. Regression guard: `tests/unit/opencode-cli-headers-synthesis-5997.test.ts` (6). (thanks @aleksesipenko)
+- fix(resilience): sticky session affinity now evicts and fails over to another account when the pinned account is exhausted/unavailable (#6219)
+
+- fix(sse): Responses API passthrough now drops internal commentary-phase output before forwarding to clients (gated by RESPONSES_PASSTHROUGH_DROP_COMMENTARY, default on) (#6199)
+
+- **fix(proxy):** stop the v3.8.44 proxy regression that leaked the real IP and disabled healthy proxies ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Two coupled defects from the new health scheduler: (1) **IP leak** — when a proxy assigned to a connection was marked `inactive`, resolution fell through to a **direct** egress instead of blocking, exposing the operator's real IP; (2) **over-deactivation** — the sweep flipped a proxy to `inactive` on the **first** failed probe and counted our own 5s timeout / a probe-target `5xx` as the proxy's fault, so healthy paid proxies vanished from egress selection ("my proxies are not being used anymore"). Fix: the sweep decision is extracted into a pure, network-free `decideProxyHealthAction` (`src/lib/proxyHealth/decision.ts`) — by default the health check now **only counts/logs and never downgrades status** (a proxy is downgraded/removed only with `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE=true`, after `PROXY_AUTO_REMOVE_AFTER` **consecutive** conclusive failures); probes are classified tri-state so an inconclusive result (our timeout, or a `5xx` from the probe target) never penalizes the proxy, and the probe timeout is raised 5s→15s. Separately, `safeResolveProxy` now **fails closed** via the existing policy: a connection whose assigned proxy is dead is blocked instead of leaking direct (`hasBlockingProxyAssignment`), honoring the explicit `proxy off` toggles and the `PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true` opt-out. Existing proxies stuck `inactive` by the old behavior need a one-time manual re-activate (the operator owns proxy status). Regression guards: `tests/unit/proxy-health-decide-action-6246.test.ts`, `tests/unit/proxy-assigned-unavailable-6246.test.ts`.
+
+- **fix(proxy):** make "Test All" read-only and add bulk enable/disable ([#6246](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6246)). Complements the core fail-closed / scheduler fix (#6296) with the two remaining reporter asks. (1) The **"Test All" button** (`POST /api/settings/proxies/auto-test`) used to flip a proxy to `inactive` on a failed reachability probe; since the egress selector excludes `inactive` proxies, a flaky probe (an unreachable `httpbin.org`, a proxy that blocks `HEAD`, or a slow paid proxy) silently disabled every proxy that failed — "Test All" is now **read-only by default** (only the operator sets a proxy active/inactive; opt back into the legacy test-and-set with `PROXY_HEALTH_AUTO_DEACTIVATE=true`). (2) Adds a **bulk enable/disable** proxies endpoint + toolbar action (`POST /api/settings/proxies/batch-activate`) so an operator can re-activate proxies in one click. Regression guard: `tests/unit/proxy-health-6246.test.ts`. (thanks @tenshiak)
+
+- **chatcore (tools): stop the default 128-tool cap from silently dropping opencode's `task`/MCP tools.** opencode (used as an MCP/agent host) sends a large tool list; when it exceeds the speculative `MAX_TOOLS_LIMIT` (128) default, `truncateToolList` did a blind `tools.slice(0, 128)`, dropping every tool past index 128 — including opencode's built-in `task` tool (subagent launch) and many MCP tools, so models routed through OmniRoute could no longer spawn subagents or reach part of their tools. The cap exists to avoid upstream `400`s for providers with real hard limits (e.g. grok-cli 200), so it is kept for those: detection of the opencode client (`isOpencodeClient` — any `x-opencode-*` header, or `opencode` in the user-agent) now only bypasses the **speculative 128 default**, never a known provider ceiling. Precedence is explicit — a proactive/detected provider limit always truncates (even for opencode); otherwise opencode forwards its full tool list; otherwise the unchanged 128 default applies to every other client. Refactors `getEffectiveToolLimit` into `getKnownToolLimit(provider) ?? DEFAULT_LIMIT` (byte-identical for existing callers) and fixes a cosmetic debug-log that reported the truncated count instead of the original. Regression guard: `tests/unit/tool-limit-detector.test.ts`. ([#6193](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6193) — thanks @DKotsyuba)
+
+- **fix(mitm):** the macOS MITM-cert install check now matches the system keychain again. `security find-certificate -a -Z` prints the SHA-1 as a colon-less hex string, but the installed-check compared it against `getCertFingerprint()`'s colon-separated form, so the substring match never hit — the cert was reported as not-installed and re-prompted for the sudo install on every run. Fingerprints are now normalized (colons stripped, upper-cased) on both sides via the extracted `macCertOutputHasFingerprint` helper. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-cert-mac-fingerprint.test.ts`. ([#6204](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6204), closes [#6134](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6134) — thanks @rianonehub)
+
+- **fix(api):** `/v1/messages/count_tokens` now counts `tool_use`, `tool_result` and `thinking` content blocks (and array-form `system` prompts) in the local-estimation path, instead of only `text`. Real agentic conversations keep ~95% of their tokens inside tool results; the previous estimate returned near-zero for them, which silently broke Claude Code's auto-compaction (context grew past the window with no compaction until the upstream API rejected the request). The real provider-side count path is unchanged. Regression guard: `tests/unit/messages-count-tokens-route.test.ts`. ([#6221](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6221) — thanks @luweiCN)
+
+- **fix(antigravity):** strip a trailing assistant prefill turn for Vertex Claude models to avoid upstream 400s ([#6114](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6114)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-claude-prefill-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(security):** the mutable cloud-agent routes (`/api/cloud/credentials/update`, `/api/cloud/models/alias`) now require management auth instead of being treated as public. They were classified as public API routes, so a request without management credentials could update stored cloud-agent credentials and model aliases. They are removed from the public-route set, classified as management routes in the authz pipeline, and gated by `requireManagementAuth`; cloud **read**/auth routes stay public. Regression guards: `tests/unit/cloud-write-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/classify.test.ts`, `tests/unit/public-api-routes.test.ts`. ([#6233](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6233) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+
+- **refactor(dashboard):** extract the onboarding-wizard "Open provider details" link target into a pure, unit-tested `buildProviderDetailsHref(connection)` helper. The wizard already routes by `connection.id` (the node UUID) rather than the provider category slug (#6144/#6145); this hardens that behavior behind a tested helper that guards a missing id/connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-onboarding-href.test.ts`. ([#6166](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6166) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(api):** relay worker now binds the SSRF guard to a stable `const` name so minified standalone (Docker) builds resolve it ([#6149](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6149)) — the Vercel/Deno relay generators embedded the shared `resolveRelayTarget` guard as a bare `${fn.toString()}` declaration while the worker body called the hardcoded literal name; SWC minification mangled the source function's name, so the deployed worker defined `<mangled>` but still called `resolveRelayTarget` → `ReferenceError`. Both templates now emit `const resolveRelayTarget = ${fn.toString()};` (the const name is a template literal, immune to minification). Regression guard: `tests/unit/relay-minified-fn-6149.test.ts` (4). (thanks @SeaXen)
+- **fix(providers):** refresh the stale NVIDIA NIM model registry — drop EOL `z-ai/glm-5.1`, add `z-ai/glm-5.2` and `nvidia/nemotron-3-ultra-550b-a55b` ([#6108](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6108)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-nim-registry-6108.test.ts`. (thanks @andrea-kingautomation)
+- **fix(backend):** GPT-family (codex) models now report a distinct `max_input_tokens` (272000) below their 400K `context_length` via an optional `maxInputTokens` on `RegistryModel`, so coding agents auto-compact correctly instead of overflowing the real input cap ([#6191](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6191)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/gpt-max-input-tokens-6191.test.ts`. (thanks @luweiCN)
+- **fix(backend):** call logs now record a **reasoning source/char-count** (migration 116, `reasoning_source`/`reasoning_chars`) for models that emit `reasoning_content`/`<think>` but report zero reasoning tokens in usage, so `tokens_reasoning` no longer silently under-represents reasoning — cost math is unchanged (the priced `tokens_reasoning` stays usage-derived) ([#6187](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6187)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/reasoning-token-source-6187.test.ts`. (thanks @andrea-kingautomation)
+- **fix(auth):** a stale/changed `STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY` now surfaces as a clear **424 `storage_encryption_stale`** ("re-enter the API key") instead of a misleading "Auth failed: 401" — the connection's ciphertext failed to decrypt and was coerced to an empty Bearer, hiding the real cause ([#6148](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6148)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/decrypt-stale-key-hint-6148.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(backend):** memory injection now keeps the injected system message **first** for providers that require it (via a `PROVIDERS_SYSTEM_MUST_BE_FIRST` capability), instead of the cache-safe mid-array splice that made strict providers reject the request with a 400 ([#6135](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6135)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/memory-system-first-6135.test.ts`.
+- **fix(services):** 9Router embed panel no longer 404s (optional catch-all route) and the supervisor probes the port before spawning to avoid raw EADDRINUSE ([#6205](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6205)). Regression guards: `tests/unit/ninerouter-embed-port-6205.test.ts`, `tests/unit/services/ServiceSupervisor.test.ts`. (thanks @jonlwheat2-gif)
+- fix(mcp): forward the MCP request `extra` context through static tool loops so stdio callers keep their scope/identity ([#6178](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6178))
+
+### ⚡ Performance & Infrastructure
+
+- **perf(test):** test-suite loader quick wins ([#6214](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6214)) — the 19 test scripts switch `--import tsx` → `--import tsx/esm` (the repo is pure ESM; the unused CJS hook cost ~1.3s per test process × 2,462 processes — CI fast-path unit shards dropped 14.8→7.5 min, −49%), tsx bumped to ^4.23.0 (tsx#809 startup-regression fix), **37 orphan `.test.mjs` files (224 cases) recovered** into the canonical glob (they matched no runner and never ran in any CI job; `check:test-discovery` now scans `.mjs` too), and ci.yml/quality.yml unit jobs now call the canonical npm script `test:unit:ci:shard` (single source of truth — closes two silent drifts: missing `setupPolyfill` import in CI and `memory/`+`usage/` dirs absent from the fast-path glob). `tests/unit/dashboard/**` keeps the full tsx hook in its own invocation (`@lobehub/icons` es/ build internally `require()`s ESM-syntax files).
+- **ci:** heavy-pipeline dedup ([#6215](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6215)) — the release-PR pipeline ran the unit suite 4× per sync (95 jobs, 208 machine-min; the v3.8.44 cycle fired 123 such runs, 88 cancelled). Now: Node 24/26 compat matrices move to a daily `nightly-compat.yml` (−28%/run; resolves the active release branch, opens a tracking issue on failure), coverage is collected inside the unit shards themselves via c8/`NODE_V8_COVERAGE` (−18%/run; the Coverage Shard ×8 matrix is gone — nodejs/node's own CI pattern), the ~40-job per-language i18n matrix becomes 1 job (the account has 20 concurrent-job slots total), and heavy jobs skip **draft** PRs — paired with `/generate-release` now opening the living release PR as draft (flipped ready at the new Phase 0a.0a), killing the per-merge churn for the whole cycle. Validated by a full `workflow_dispatch` of the new pipeline: 35 jobs, 0 failures, 23 min, merged coverage 80.16% (> ratchet baseline).
+- **feat(quality):** no-new-warnings per PR ([#6218](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6218)) — native ESLint bulk suppressions (≥9.24) freeze the pre-existing debt (476 files / 4,273 violations in `config/quality/eslint-suppressions.json`); `npm run lint`, lint-staged (pre-commit) and a new fork-aware `lint-guard` job in quality.yml all run suppressions-aware, so a NEW warning goes red in the PR that introduces it instead of accruing invisibly (+41/+88 per cycle) and being blind-rebaselined at release. 3 warn rules promoted to error in `src/**` (`react-hooks/exhaustive-deps`, `@next/next/no-img-element`, `import/no-anonymous-default-export`); `collect-metrics` measures under the frozen baseline (ratchet metric = net-NEW debt; baseline tightened 4,279→0 in-PR per require-tighten); fork PRs run report-only (contributors are never blocked — the maintainer campaigns fix via co-authorship). Baseline stock shrinks via `--prune-suppressions` at release reconciliation.
+- **ci:** test jobs no longer wait on the Build gate ([#6275](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6275)) — `test-unit`×8, `vitest`, `integration`×2 and `security` declared `needs: build` but never download the `next-build` artifact; they now start at minute 0 (`needs: changes`, same `if` as Build), cutting ~15–20 min of wall-clock per heavy run. `e2e`/`package-artifact`/`electron-smoke` keep `needs: build` (they consume the artifact for real).
+- **ci(build):** the ci.yml Build job compiles Next.js with **Turbopack** (`OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=1`) ([#6273](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6273)) — Build job 20 min → **6 min 59 s (~2.9×)** on ubuntu-latest; the webpack `actions/cache` step is removed. Validated end-to-end pre-merge via `gh workflow run ci.yml --ref <branch>`.
+- **feat(build):** **Turbopack becomes the default bundler** for `next build` and `next dev` ([#6283](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6283)) — `build-next-isolated.mjs`, `run-next.mjs` and the playwright-runner default to Turbopack; `OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=0` is the explicit webpack escape hatch. `nightly-compat.yml`/`npm-publish.yml` inherit the default. Regression guard: `tests/unit/build-bundler-default-turbopack.test.ts`.
+- **feat(docker):** the Docker image builds with Turbopack (`ENV OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK=1`) ([#6285](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6285)) — the v3.8.27 ImportTracer panic ("unreachable: there must be a path to a root") does **not** reproduce on Next 16.2.9: amd64 (659 s) and arm64 (qemu) build clean, 0 panics, smoke health 200.
+- **ci:** opt-in **self-hosted VPS runners for the release window** ([#6284](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6284)) — `scripts/vps/release-runner-up.sh`/`down.sh` manage the runner VM, and `build`/`test-unit`/`vitest` pick a dynamic `runs-on` gated by `vars.USE_VPS_RUNNER == 'true'` **and** own-origin (fork PRs never reach self-hosted runners). Wired into `/generate-release` (VM up at Phase 1, mandatory down at Phase 3).
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **quality(release-green):** full pre-flight hardening for this release — the cycle's 11 net-new ESLint errors typed/fixed and `validate-release-green` made suppressions-aware with per-gate logs (`_artifacts/release-green/`) and a `--hermetic` mode; test-masking allowlist entries for the cycle's verified-legitimate assert reductions; stale ESLint suppressions pruned (4,273 → 4,233); the 7 net-new `as any` casts from #6292 typed; `githubSkillTools` MCP errors routed through `sanitizeErrorMessage()`; `combo-provider-cooldown-sibling` added to the Stryker tap set; executors/env docs count fixes.
+- **ci(quality):** merge-integrity fast-gates per PR — `check:changelog-integrity` (no base CHANGELOG bullet may vanish in the merge result — the auto-resolve "CHANGELOG-eat" pattern) and `check:agent-skills-sync` (generated SKILL.md ≡ catalog), blocking for own-origin branches and report-only for forks (Princípio Zero). ([#6300](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6300))
+- **ci(vps):** hermetic `nightly-release-green` pre-flight on the dedicated `omni-release` self-hosted runner (dynamic `runs-on`, clean env); e2e/integration/electron stay on hosted runners (per-VM port collision + concurrent artifact-download limits documented in the PR). ([#6305](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6305))
+- **chore(quality):** v3.8.45 cycle-close drift rebaselines — file-size (13 files grown by merged cycle PRs), cognitive 867→877, cyclomatic 2028→2035, kiro-translator test debt from #6213; all with dated justification keys.
+- **docs(architecture):** sync stale DB-layer counts (45+/55 → 95+/110+) in REPOSITORY_MAP, the db-schema diagram and llm.txt (+42 i18n mirrors). ([#6167](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6167))
+- **chore(release):** parallel-cycle flow — `sync-next-cycle.mjs` + Hard Rule #21 semantics ([#6203](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6203)); v3.8.45 development cycle opened.
+- **i18n(it):** add 118 missing Italian (`it`) translations (net-additive — no existing keys dropped, valid JSON), improving Italian UI coverage. ([#6212](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6212) — thanks @serverless83)
+- **chore(providers):** remove deprecated **MiMo V2** model entries from the catalogs (xiaomi-mimo, opencode-go, zenmux-free, audio TTS) — the upstream V2 line is superseded by MiMo V2.5; drops `mimo-v2-tts`, `mimo-v2-pro`, `mimo-v2-omni`, `mimo-v2-flash`, `mimo-v2-flash-free` and realigns the provider-catalog tests. ([#6248](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6248) — thanks @backryun)

+## [3.8.44] — TBD
+
+### ✨ New Features
+
+- **feat(resilience):** throttle upstream quota fetches on the per-request preflight path ([#6009](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6009)) — a new global min-interval gate (`open-sse/services/quotaFetchThrottle.ts`) spaces the actual network calls made by the Codex quota fetcher so that many accounts on one IP no longer fetch quota in the same second (which, per `router-for-me/CLIProxyAPI#2385`, can get a Codex OAuth token revoked). Complements the existing bulk-sync spacing (`PROVIDER_LIMITS_SYNC_SPACING_MS`) which already serialized the periodic provider-limits sync — this covers the concurrent combo/preflight path it didn't. Cache hits are never delayed; fail-open (only ever awaits a timer). Configurable via `OMNIROUTE_QUOTA_FETCH_MIN_INTERVAL_MS` (default 250ms, clamped 0..5000; `0` disables). Regression guard: `tests/unit/quota-fetch-throttle-6009.test.ts` (5). (thanks @powellnorma)
+- **feat(autoCombo):** add **per-request Auto-Combo controls** via two headers ([#6024](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6024) / [#6025](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6025) / [#6023](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6023)) — `X-OmniRoute-Mode` steers an `auto` combo's scoring for a single request (friendly presets `fast`/`balanced`/`quality`/`cheap`/`reliable`/`offline` **or** a raw mode-pack name; `balanced` forces the default weights), and `X-OmniRoute-Budget` sets a hard per-request USD cost ceiling. Both override the combo's stored config only for the request that carries them; unknown/garbage values are ignored so the saved config is preserved. The resolvers are pure (`open-sse/services/autoCombo/requestControls.ts`) and feed the engine's existing `config.modePack` / `config.budgetCap` inputs — no engine changes. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auto-combo-request-controls-6024.test.ts` (5). (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(providers):** add the **Kenari** OpenAI-compatible gateway (BYOK). Regression guard: `tests/unit/kenari.test.ts`. (thanks @doedja)
+- **feat(models):** add `claude-sonnet-5` to the Antigravity model catalog (alias mapping in `antigravityModelAliases.ts`) ([#6103](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6103)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-model-aliases.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+- **feat(api):** add `/v1/ocr` endpoint (Mistral OCR), an OCR provider category, and Mistral moderation support. ([#5950](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5950)) (thanks @waguriagentic)
+- **Discovery tool (Phase 2):** add the `discoveryResults` DB module (CRUD over the `discovery_results` table, migration 074) and wire the opt-in provider-discovery service to persist and read findings through it (`persistDiscoveryResult`, `getDiscoveryResults`, `getDiscoveryResultById`, `markVerified`, `deleteDiscoveryResult`) with `(provider, method, endpoint)` upsert de-duplication. Adds the `/api/discovery/*` HTTP surface — `GET /results`, `GET|DELETE /results/:id`, `POST /scan`, `POST /verify/:id` — under **strict loopback-only** authorization (`/api/discovery/` is in `LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES` and is NOT manage-scope-bypassable, so the `scan` route's outbound probes can never be reached from a tunnel/remote origin). Adds a **dashboard UI tab** (Tools → Discovery, `/dashboard/discovery`) to run scans and review, verify, or delete findings. The service stays **opt-in / default-off**. ([#5939](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5939))
+- **feat(api):** expose a read-only provider plugin manifest at `GET /api/v1/provider-plugin-manifest` for sidecar/relay discovery. ([#6001](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6001)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(sidecar):** advertise the provider manifest URL to Bifrost/CLIProxyAPI via the `X-OmniRoute-Provider-Manifest-Url` header (`OMNIROUTE_PROVIDER_MANIFEST_URL`). ([#6007](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6007)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(autoCombo):** add a latency/speed-optimized routing mode (shared `rankBySpeed` scoring core) plus the `omniroute_pick_fastest_model` MCP tool. ([#6011](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6011)) (thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(providers):** refresh The Old LLM (Free) model catalog ([#5181](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5181)) — seed the current free `/api/chatgpt` tier (GPT-5/5.1/5.2/5.3/5.4, o3/o4-mini, Gemini 3 Pro / 2.5 Pro / 2.0 Flash / 1.5 Flash, Claude 4.6 Opus/Sonnet & 4.5 Haiku, GPT-4o, Grok 4, DeepSeek V3/R1, Sonar Pro) while keeping the legacy alias IDs for saved-preference compatibility. Also fixes a latent routing bug: `mapModel()` now passes known upstream IDs through unchanged, so Gemini/o-series/Grok/DeepSeek/Sonar models no longer silently collapse onto `GPT_5_4`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/theoldllm-model-refresh-5181.test.ts`. (thanks @WslzGmzs)
+- **feat(resilience):** surface Codex **banked reset credits** per connected account ([#5199](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5199)) — the Codex quota parsers (`buildCodexUsageQuotas`, `parseCodexUsageResponse`) now additively read `rate_limit_reset_credits.available_count` (+ optional `rate_limit_reached_type`) from the `/wham/usage` payload OmniRoute already fetches, and the provider-limits dashboard renders a **"Banked Reset Credits"** row when a positive count is present. Display-only and **fail-open** — the field is eligibility-gated, so accounts without it are unaffected (parsers never throw on absent/garbage shapes); redemption (an unofficial mutating endpoint) is intentionally out of scope. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-banked-reset-credits-5199.test.ts` (8). (thanks @ofekbetzalel)
+- **feat(providers):** add sign-up geo-restriction notices for **SenseNova** and **StepFun** ([#5462](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5462)) — the provider add-form now warns that SenseNova's console appears to require a Chinese (+86) phone number with no documented international path, and that StepFun's default endpoint is its China platform while a global StepFun Open Platform (`platform.stepfun.ai`, operated by Sparkling AI Pte. Ltd., Singapore) with email/Google/Discord login exists for international users. Informational `notice` only — neither provider is disabled. Regression guard: `tests/unit/regional-provider-cn-notices-5462.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(usage):** add on-demand period-scoped usage-data reset (Settings → System Storage) with a purge API and time-window selector. ([#5831](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5831))
+- **feat(claude-code):** add an opt-in auto-permission classifier compat mode (off/auto/always) for Claude Code, toggleable from the CLI Code settings. ([#5810](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5810))
+- **feat(providers):** add optional client-identity header profiles for compatible nodes — preset User-Agent/fingerprint headers (e.g. matching a known CLI) merged into the existing customHeaders field. ([#5812](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5812))
+- **feat(build):** add a backend-only fast build mode (`scripts/build/build-next-isolated.mjs` + `backendOnlyPages.mjs`) that skips compiling the dashboard frontend pages, cutting local/CI build time for backend-only changes. ([#6119](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6119) — thanks @artickc)
+- **feat(minimax):** extract MiniMax M3's raw `<think>...</think>` leakage into `reasoning_content` on the 8 OpenAI-format provider tiers, leaving the Claude-format `minimax`/`minimax-cn` tiers untouched (they already report reasoning correctly). ([#6073](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6073) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(services):** promote **Bifrost** (`@maximhq/bifrost` — Go AI-gateway) from an env-only relay sidecar to a first-class embedded/supervised service, matching the existing cliproxy/9router model — installer, bootstrap `SERVICES[]` entry, migration 113 DB seed, 7 lifecycle API routes under `/api/services/bifrost/` (loopback-only), a dashboard tab, and relay auto-wiring that defaults `BIFROST_BASE_URL` to the supervised port when running. Implements item #2 of #5670; the broader RouterBackend contract (items #1, #3-#5) stays out of scope. ([#5817](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5817), part of [#5670](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5670))
+- **feat(services):** add **Mux** (`coder/mux` — local agent-orchestration daemon) as a fourth-tier embedded service on the existing `ServiceSupervisor` framework — npm-based installer, `bootstrap.ts` registration, migration 113 DB seed, 7 lifecycle API routes under `/api/services/mux/` (loopback-only, defense-in-depth bind to 127.0.0.1), and a dashboard tab reusing the shared service-management components. ([#6034](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6034))
+- **feat(xai):** surface Grok/xAI usage on the quota dashboard via local `usageHistory` aggregation (`getXaiUsage`) — since xAI exposes no per-account quota API, this sums tokens routed to the connection from `usage_history` and reports them as a cumulative, uncapped quota, mirroring the existing Xiaomi MiMo self-track pattern. ([#5806](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5806))
+- **feat(minimax):** extract MiniMax M3's raw `<think>...</think>` tags into a separate `reasoning_content` field on the 8 provider tiers that register M3 with `format:"openai"` (trae, huggingchat, bazaarlink, ollama-cloud, opencode, cline, opencode-zen, codebuddy-cn) — previously the thinking text leaked directly into `content`. Reuses the existing `extractThinkingFromContent` primitive, extending its allowlist with a minimax-m3-only pattern; the two direct minimax/minimax-cn tiers are untouched since they already surface reasoning natively over Anthropic's Messages format. (Inspired by 9router#2231.) ([#6050](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6050) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(i18n):** auto-detect the browser language on first visit — a pure `detectBrowserLocale()` matcher (exact match, `zh-HK`/`zh-MO` folded to `zh-TW`, language-prefix match, else `null`) plus a client-only `LocaleAutoDetect` component mounted once in the root layout. When no locale cookie is set yet, it reads `navigator.languages`, computes a match against the supported locales, and persists it via the same cookie/localStorage writer `LanguageSelector` already used (extracted to `shared/lib/persistLocale.ts`). (Inspired by 9router#1324.) ([#5979](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5979))
+- **feat(cli-tools):** add **CodeWhale** — the actively-maintained successor to DeepSeek TUI (same author, renamed project) — as a dual dashboard entry alongside the existing "deepseek-tui" catalog entry, so existing DeepSeek TUI users keep a working card while new users are steered to CodeWhale. New `/api/cli-tools/codewhale-settings` route writes `~/.codewhale/config.toml` and keeps the legacy `~/.deepseek/config.toml` in sync. (Inspired by 9router#1761.) ([#5996](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5996))
+- **feat(server):** support reverse-proxy `basePath` deployment via a new opt-in `OMNIROUTE_BASE_PATH` env var (empty by default), using Next.js's native `basePath` support so a deployment behind a reverse-proxy subpath (e.g. `https://host/omniroute/`) works without manual header stripping; the two hardcoded auth-redirect targets in `src/server/authz/pipeline.ts` now prefix with `request.nextUrl.basePath`. Default empty basePath is a no-op for existing root-path deployments. (Inspired by 9router#1810.) ([#5992](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5992))
+- **feat(providers):** add **SumoPod** (`ai.sumopod.com`) and **X5Lab** (`api.x5lab.dev`) OpenAI-compatible BYOK aggregator gateways, wired via the default executor with bearer API-key auth; both use `passthroughModels` with a live `/v1/models` fetcher instead of a hardcoded catalog. Regression guard: `tests/unit/sumopod-x5lab-provider.test.ts`. (Inspired by 9router#1288.) ([#5963](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5963))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Charm Hyper** (`hyper.charm.land`) as a new OpenAI-compatible, bearer-auth API-key gateway provider with a free tier (100 monthly Hypercredits); models resolve via passthrough (`modelsUrl` + live `/v1/models`) since the catalog isn't publicly documented. (Inspired by 9router#2006.) ([#5961](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5961))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Nube.sh** (`ai.nube.sh`) as a new BYOK OpenAI-compatible gateway (LiteLLM proxy), Bearer/API-key auth. Its live model catalog is only reachable with a valid key, so no model IDs are hardcoded — it uses `passthroughModels` + `modelsUrl` for live enumeration. (Inspired by 9router#2294.) ([#5936](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5936) — thanks @whale9820)
+- **feat(providers):** add **b.ai** (`api.b.ai`) as a new OpenAI-compatible BYOK provider, distinct from the existing thebai/theb.ai provider, using passthrough model discovery with no hardcoded model list. (Inspired by 9router#963.) ([#5969](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5969))
+- **feat(providers):** add **Qiniu** (七牛云) AI inference gateway as a BYOK API-key provider — proxies many upstream models (DeepSeek V3/V4, Claude, Kimi, and more) behind a single key, shipping with an empty static seed and relying on `passthroughModels` + the live `/v1/models` catalog instead of a stale hardcoded model id. Regression guard: `tests/unit/qiniu-provider.test.ts`. (Inspired by 9router#911.) ([#5966](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5966))
+- **feat(providers):** port **ModelScope** (Alibaba 魔搭) as a new API-key, OpenAI-compatible provider — verified against ModelScope's own docs that the real production domain is `api-inference.modelscope.cn` (`.cn`, not the upstream PR's `.ai`) and shipped `passthroughModels: true` with an empty seed + `modelsUrl` instead of the upstream PR's static 5-model snapshot, since the open-model catalog moves fast. (Ported from 9router#1764.) ([#5965](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5965) — thanks @tn5052)
+- **feat(providers):** add **Augment (Auggie CLI)** as a new local, no-auth provider that spawns the user's local `auggie` CLI and pipes a flattened prompt via stdin, wrapping stdout as an OpenAI-compatible SSE stream or single JSON body. Auth is delegated to `auggie login` outside OmniRoute (synthetic `noAuth: true` connection, no DB row required); "Test Connection" spawns `auggie --version`. Hardened against the untrusted-input spawn sink: no `shell: true` on Windows (argv passed straight to the OS loader, no metacharacter interpretation), and `model` is validated against the registry allowlist before spawn (rejecting unknown or `-`-prefixed values) with a trailing `--` end-of-options marker. (Inspired by 9router#1200.) ([#5972](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5972) — thanks @chamdanilukman)
+- **feat(providers):** add **NVIDIA NIM image generation** — a dedicated `nvidia-nim` image format/handler (separate host, `ai.api.nvidia.com/v1/genai/<model>`, native NIM body shape) for the 4 FLUX models (flux.1-dev, flux.1-schnell, flux.1-kontext-dev, flux.2-klein-4b), shaping each model's per-model request body (dimension/mode validation, required input image + aspect ratio, optional edit image) and normalizing the NIM response's varying shapes into the OpenAI `{created, data}` shape. (Inspired by 9router#1195.) ([#5971](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5971))
+- **feat(oauth):** import a Codex connection from a raw ChatGPT access token — OmniRoute's only Codex import path previously required both `access_token` and `refresh_token`, leaving no path for a user with only a bare ChatGPT website access token. `createProviderConnection` gains an explicit `access_token` auth-type branch (intentionally never deduped), a new `POST /api/oauth/codex/import-token` route (Zod-validated), and `OAuthModal`'s manual-paste path now detects an `eyJ`-prefixed pasted token and posts it to the new endpoint, mirroring the existing grok-cli raw-token flow. The executor's `refreshCredentials()` already degrades safely to `null` without a refresh token, forcing re-auth on expiry. (Inspired by 9router#1290.) ([#5995](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5995) — thanks @ryanngit)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add a tool-source diagnostics settings toggle — a new Settings → Advanced card lets operators flip the existing `logToolSources` flag from the UI instead of editing the DB row directly; `logToolSources` is added to the `.strict()` `/api/settings` Zod PATCH schema (previously rejected). (Inspired by 9router#1825.) ([#5978](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5978) — thanks @DuyPrX)
+- **feat(dashboard):** collapse and sort provider quota rows by remaining percentage — the expanded quota list is sorted highest-remaining-first and collapsed to the first 3 rows by default, with a "Show N more"/"Show less" toggle when a connection reports more than 3 quotas, keeping at-risk quotas visible above a long list of healthy ones. Sort/slice logic extracted into pure, directly-unit-tested helpers (`sortQuotasByRemaining`, `getVisibleQuotas`). (Inspired by 9router#1919.) ([#5977](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5977))
+- **feat(dashboard):** suggest HuggingFace Hub media models — a new `GET /api/v1/providers/suggested-models` route proxies the public HF Hub models search API (Zod-validated, no token exposed client-side) and `ImageExampleCard` merges the results into the model picker as a selectable chip row for the huggingface provider; also adds a dedicated `huggingface-image` format/handler for HF's raw-image-bytes response. (Inspired by 9router#1633.) ([#5990](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5990))
+- **feat(cli-tools):** add a **Crush** entry to the dashboard CLI-Tools catalog plus a new `/api/cli-tools/crush-settings` route (GET/POST/DELETE) — OmniRoute already shipped a `crush` CLI setup command (`bin/cli/commands/setup-crush.mjs`) but the dashboard catalog had no matching entry; the new route writes to the same canonical `~/.config/crush/crush.json` path so the dashboard and CLI command agree. (Inspired by 9router#1233.) ([#5970](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5970))
+- **feat(providers):** extend Vercel AI Gateway (`vercel-ai-gateway`/`vag`) beyond chat-only to support **embeddings and image generation** — the gateway's OpenAI-compatible `/v1` API also exposes `/embeddings` and `/images/generations`, so entries were added to `EMBEDDING_PROVIDERS` (`embeddingRegistry.ts`) and `IMAGE_PROVIDERS` (`imageRegistry.ts`) modeled on the existing `openai` entries. ([#5968](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5968) — thanks @tantai-newnol)
+- **feat(api-keys):** add per-key **device/connection tracking** — a SHA-256 fingerprint of IP + User-Agent, with a 30-minute TTL and per-key/global caps, tracks distinct client devices seen with each API key (in-memory only, raw IP never stored). A new `GET /api/keys/[id]/devices` route exposes masked device details, and the API Keys dashboard tab gets a "Devices" count badge alongside the existing Sessions badge. This is a new granularity distinct from the existing `maxSessions` cap, which limits concurrent sticky-routing sessions rather than tracking device identity. ([#5998](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5998) — thanks @mugni-rukita)
+- **feat(proxy):** add **Webshare** (`proxy.webshare.io`) as a fourth source in the free-proxy provider framework alongside 1proxy, Proxifly, and IPLocate. `WebshareProvider` paginates the account's `/api/v2/proxy/list/` endpoint, upserts proxies into the shared `free_proxies` table, and tombstones proxies the account no longer lists while never touching rows already promoted into the live proxy pool. Unlike the other sources, Webshare is a paid per-account list, gated on `FREE_PROXY_WEBSHARE_API_KEY`. ([#5993](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5993) — thanks @ricatix)
+- **feat(antigravity):** support custom **Google Cloud project ID** settings from the connection edit modal (Antigravity family). ([#5905](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5905) — thanks @nickwizard)
+- **feat(dashboard):** add a **wildcard-CORS runtime warning** banner (Settings → Authorization) when `CORS_ALLOW_ALL`/`*` origins are in effect, plus a new `docs/security/CORS.md` security guide covering the risk and safer alternatives. ([#5602](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5602), [#5759](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5759))
+- **feat(api):** add a `/v1/audio/translations` endpoint (Whisper-style audio translation), a new `audioTranslation` handler, and translation providers wired into `audioRegistry`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/audio-translations-route.test.ts` (8, incl. no-stack-leak). ([#5809](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5809))
+- **feat(providers):** allow a **custom icon URL** for compatible provider nodes (migration 113 + `nodes.ts` + Zod schema + API routes + catalog + `ProviderIcon` UI). Regression guards: 14 backend + 5 frontend(vitest) + 24 page-utils tests. ([#5815](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5815))
+- **feat(xai):** register a dedicated `XaiExecutor` with reasoning-effort suffix parsing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executors/xai-executor.test.ts` (6). ([#5800](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5800))
+- **feat(webfetch):** support **self-hosted FireCrawl** instances via `FIRECRAWL_BASE_URL`/`FIRECRAWL_TIMEOUT_MS`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/executors/firecrawl-fetch.test.ts` (4). ([#5793](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5793))
+- **feat(providers):** add **ClinePass** as a first-class API-key (BYOK) provider — Cline's paid gateway (`cline-pass/*` models, plain Bearer key), distinct from the existing OAuth `cline` provider. Regression guard: 16 clinepass tests. ([#5942](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5942) — thanks @adentdk)
+- **feat(relay):** gate **Bifrost auto-routing** by the provider plugin manifest — only manifest-eligible providers reach the sidecar; ineligible/unknown providers fall back to the existing TS routing path with explicit reasons. Regression guards: 4 provider-plugin-manifest + 11 relay-routing-backend tests. ([#5870](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5870) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **feat(providers):** wire **Claude Sonnet 5** end-to-end across the model pipeline — registries, `modelSpecs`, pricing (×3), cost, Sonnet-family fallback, 1M-context, and static models. ([#5833](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5833) — thanks @ggiak)
+
+### 🔧 Bug Fixes
+
+- **dashboard (`/dashboard/system/proxy` 500 on every render):** `ProxyRegistryManager` called `useProxyBatchOperations(load)` before the `const load = useCallback(...)` declaration in the component body, so every server render threw a TDZ `ReferenceError: Cannot access 'load' before initialization` and the whole proxy page 500'd (#5918 regression, caught by the release-PR e2e smoke — the PR→release fast-gates never render pages). The hook block now sits after the `load` declaration. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/ProxyRegistryManager-tdz-render.test.tsx` (SSR renderToString — the exact crash mode).
+
+- **server (TRACE/TRACK/CONNECT returned raw 500 on every route):** methods that undici/fetch cannot represent blew up inside Next's middleware adapter (`TypeError: 'TRACE' HTTP method is unsupported.`) as an unhandled 500 (caught by the release-PR dast-smoke Schemathesis negative tests on the new `/api/keys/{id}/devices` endpoint). The raw HTTP method guard now answers a clean 405 + `Allow` header for these methods on any path, before Next sees the request. Regression guard: `tests/unit/dast-method-not-allowed.test.ts` (new case).
+
+- **i18n (auto-detect refreshed every first visit):** `LocaleAutoDetect` (#5979) called `router.refresh()` on every cookie-less first visit — even when the detected browser locale was exactly the one the server had just rendered — re-navigating the page mid-interaction (flaky e2e "execution context destroyed" + a visible flash for every new visitor). It now refreshes only when the detected locale differs from the server-rendered `<html lang>`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/LocaleAutoDetect-refresh.test.tsx`.
+
+- **models (`oc/` alias must reach the no-auth OpenCode provider):** restore the [#2901](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/2901) routing contract after the #5918 transitive-alias change made the registered no-auth `opencode` provider unreachable by any prefix (`oc/` chained through the manual `opencode` → `opencode-zen` slug override and misrouted its combo entries). `resolveProviderAlias` now stops the alias chain as soon as a hop lands on a registered provider id, while keeping #5918's transitivity across alias-only hops and its loop/depth guards. Regression guards: `tests/unit/combo-builder-opencode-prefix.test.ts`, `tests/unit/provider-alias-transitive-5918.test.ts`.
+
+- **providers (Auggie executor EPIPE crash):** a fast-exiting `auggie` CLI (e.g. binary present but immediately failing) delivered `EPIPE` **asynchronously** as an `'error'` event on the child's stdin stream — which a plain try/catch around `stdin.write()` cannot catch — crashing the request instead of surfacing the sanitized CLI error. Both spawn sites now attach a stdin `'error'` handler so the child's own exit/close handlers report the failure. Regression guard: `tests/unit/auggie-executor.test.ts` (deterministic 3/3 locally).
+
+- **dashboard (CoolingConnectionsPanel broke `next build`):** the cooling-connections panel from #6061 imported `Card` from a shadcn-style path that does not exist in this repo (`@/components/ui/card`) and pulled the server DB barrel (`@/lib/localDb`) into a client component — `next build` failed to compile on the release branch. The panel now renders with repo-native markup and reads `formatResetCountdown` from the new client-safe `src/shared/utils/formatting.ts`. Regression guards: `tests/unit/format-reset-countdown.test.ts`, `tests/unit/ui/CoolingConnectionsPanel.test.tsx`. ([#6155](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6155))
+
+- **oauth (Zed "Unknown provider" crash):** adding **Zed** from the providers dashboard threw an unhandled `OAuth GET error: Unknown provider: zed` (500) ([#6041](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6041)). Zed is a **keychain-import-only** provider — it's listed in the OAuth catalog so the UI shows it, but has no OAuth handler, so the generic `/api/oauth/[provider]/[action]` route hit `getProvider("zed")` and crashed. The route now recognizes keychain-import-only providers and returns a clear **400** pointing users at the **Import** button (for both GET and POST OAuth actions), instead of a 500. Regression guard: `tests/unit/oauth-keychain-import-only-6041.test.ts`. (thanks @imblowsnow)
+
+- **fix(providers):** disable the unsupported `thinking` param for `minimax-m2.7` on NVIDIA NIM (the upstream rejects it) ([#6102](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6102)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/nvidia-minimax-thinking-strip.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **fix(mitm):** add an in-process guard so concurrent MITM server starts no longer race — a second start while one is already in flight is short-circuited instead of double-binding the listener ([#6107](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6107)). Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-start-guard.test.ts`. (thanks @anki1kr)
+
+- **translator (Responses → Chat Completions):** strip the Responses-API-only `truncation` field before forwarding a `/v1/responses` request to a non-OpenAI Chat Completions upstream ([#6109](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6109)). Strict upstreams (e.g. NVIDIA NIM) rejected it with HTTP 400 `Unsupported parameter(s): truncation`, breaking Codex-style clients routed to those providers. `client_metadata`, `background`, and `safety_identifier` were already stripped — `truncation` was the remaining gap. Regression guard: `tests/unit/responses-strip-truncation-2311.test.ts`. (thanks @TuanNguyen0708)
+
+- **combo (prefer known context capacity over unknown):** when a combo filters out at least one target for exceeding a _known_ context limit, the router now prefers the remaining known-compatible targets over targets whose context metadata is simply unknown, instead of letting unknown-metadata targets be the only survivors. If no known-compatible context target remains, context-only candidates fall back to the normal strategy order. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-context-window-filter.test.ts`. ([#6088](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6088) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+
+- **models (GLM-5.2 context normalization):** stop treating every hosted GLM-5.2 provider alias as the native 1M-context model. Native/bare GLM-5.2 and verified OpenCode / ZenMux routes keep their 1,000,000-token context, while hosted-provider aliases now respect the caps declared in their provider metadata instead of inheriting the native max. Regression guards: `tests/unit/model-capabilities-registry.test.ts`, `tests/unit/models-catalog-route.test.ts`. ([#6091](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6091) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+
+- **providers (Gemini Web):** refresh the Gemini Web cookie handling and model catalog so live Gemini Web sessions keep authenticating and routing to current models. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-web.test.ts`. ([#6095](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6095) — thanks @backryun)
+
+- **providers (Perplexity Web):** refresh the Perplexity Web model catalog to the current set (GPT-5.4/5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.0 / Opus 4.8, GLM-5.2, Kimi K2.6, Nemotron 3 Ultra) and update the internal mode / `model_preference` mappings and thinking variants so requests resolve to live upstream models. Regression guard: `tests/unit/perplexity-web.test.ts`. ([#6106](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6106) — thanks @backryun)
+
+- **dashboard ("Update now" → Internal Server Error):** clicking **Update now** on the dashboard home could crash the page with a blank "Internal Server Error" screen (`Minified React error #31`). The handler POSTs the loopback-only `/api/system/version` auto-update endpoint and, on a non-OK JSON response (e.g. a `403` when the dashboard is reached through a reverse proxy / non-loopback origin), passed the raw error envelope object `{ error: { code, message, correlation_id } }` straight to `notify.error()`, which rendered the object as a React child and threw #31. The update-error path now funnels the body through `extractApiErrorMessage()` (the same safe extractor added in #5340), so a readable string always reaches the toast. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/home-update-error-render-5991.test.ts`. ([#5991](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5991))
+- **fix(onboarding):** route the provider-details link in the onboarding wizard by the node's stable id instead of the composite provider slug, which could point at the wrong provider details page for multi-account/fingerprint nodes. Regression guard: `tests/unit/onboarding-wizard-details-link-6145.test.ts`. ([#6145](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6145) — thanks @chirag127)
+- **fix(cli):** give `setup-claude` a fallback profile generator mirroring `setup-codex`, so profile generation no longer silently no-ops when the primary generator path is unavailable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cli/setup-claude.test.ts` (new cases). ([#6138](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6138) — thanks @derhornspieler)
+- **fix(glm):** suppress a leaked `</think>` close marker in the GLM Anthropic transport, which was surfacing the raw reasoning-close tag in visible response content instead of being consumed as part of the thinking-block framing. Regression guard: `tests/unit/glm-think-close-marker-leak.test.ts`. ([#6133](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6133) — thanks @dhaern)
+- **fix(provider-limits):** close a TOCTOU race in quota-recovery clearing by moving the check-then-clear to a CAS (compare-and-swap) primitive in `src/lib/db/providers.ts`, so two concurrent recovery paths can no longer both observe stale state and double-clear/re-lock a connection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-limits-recovery.test.ts`. ([#6139](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6139) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **fix(provider-limits):** clear transient rate-limit state (`rateLimitedUntil`, `lastError`, `backoffLevel`) as soon as quota recovers, instead of leaving stale rate-limit fields behind that could keep a now-healthy connection looking unavailable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-limits-recovery.test.ts`. ([#6128](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6128) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **combos (OpenCode/MiMo fingerprint accounts):** expand fingerprint-scoped OpenCode/MiMo accounts into their full per-fingerprint set in the combo builder, which previously showed only the first matching account entry and hid the rest from combo target selection. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-builder-fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`. ([#6092](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6092), closes [#6087](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6087) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(auth):** persist quota-preflight account lockouts until the reset window elapses, instead of losing the lockout on process restart and letting a still-quota-exhausted account be selected again immediately. Regression guards: `tests/unit/sse-auth.test.ts`, `tests/unit/opencode-quota-fetcher.test.ts`, `tests/unit/usage-service-hardening.test.ts`. ([#6090](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6090) — thanks @Thinkscape)
+- **combo (fingerprint-based provider expansion):** expand fingerprint-based providers into per-fingerprint combo targets (`open-sse/services/combo/fingerprintExpansion.ts`) so a combo referencing a fingerprint-scoped provider fans out to every matching fingerprint account instead of collapsing onto one. Regression guards: `tests/unit/combo-fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`, `tests/integration/fingerprint-expansion.test.ts`. ([#6082](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6082) — thanks @pizzav-xyz)
+- **fix (safety-net redirect `reqId` crash):** fix a `reqId` `ReferenceError` thrown inside the safety-net combo redirect path in `src/sse/handlers/chat.ts`, remove dead code in `src/domain/quotaCache.ts`, and rename the stray root `DESING.md` to `DESIGN.md`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/chat-safetynet-reqid-6097.test.ts`. ([#6097](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6097) — thanks @fix2015)
+- **fix(compression):** send a patch-only body to `PUT /api/settings/compression` from `CompressionHub`, instead of round-tripping the full settings object and risking clobbering fields changed elsewhere between load and save. Regression guard: `tests/unit/ui/CompressionHub-patch-only.test.tsx`. ([#6077](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6077), closes [#6039](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6039) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(codex):** use `access_token.exp` instead of `id_token.exp` when computing `expiresAt` on Codex auth import, since the `id_token` can expire far sooner than the actual access token, causing imported connections to be treated as expired while still usable. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-auth-import-expiry.test.ts`. ([#6084](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6084), closes [#6075](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6075) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(security):** persist the IP allow/block-list configuration (it was resetting to Disabled and clearing configured IPs on every restart/update) and actually enforce it in the authz pipeline (`src/server/authz/pipeline.ts`), where it was previously validated but never applied. Regression guards: `tests/unit/ip-filter-persistence-6131.test.ts`, `tests/unit/authz/ip-filter-enforcement-6131.test.ts`, `tests/unit/ip-filter.test.ts`. (closes [#6131](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6131), [#6132](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6132))
+- **fix (Claude tool_result adjacency):** reattach an OpenAI-shaped `tool_result` to sit directly adjacent to its originating `tool_use` before translating to Claude's message format (`open-sse/translator/request/openai-to-claude/toolResultAdjacency.ts`), since Claude's API rejects/mishandles a tool result separated from its tool call by intervening messages. Regression guard: `tests/unit/translator-openai-to-claude.test.ts` (new cases). ([#6035](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6035) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **fix(config):** externalize `ws`/`bufferutil`/`utf-8-validate` in `next.config.mjs` so the `copilot-m365-web` executor's WebSocket masking path works at runtime — chat requests through it were silently timing out because the bundler was inlining `ws` instead of leaving it as a real Node dependency. Regression guard: `tests/unit/next-config.test.ts`. ([#6130](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6130), closes [#6062](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6062) — thanks @anki1kr, whose #6098 fix it re-lands)
+- **fix(registry):** update grok-cli model context lengths to match the actual Grok CLI `/context` capacities — `grok-build` 128k→256k, `grok-composer-2.5-fast` 128k→200k — so context-aware routing stops filtering these models out for exceeding a stale, too-low limit. Registry-only. ([#5913](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5913) — thanks @Chewji9875)
+- **fix(providers):** strip an orphan `tool_result` (one with no preceding `tool_use`) on the Antigravity MITM path before translating to OpenAI format, since an unpaired tool result upstream caused request failures. Regression guard: `tests/unit/antigravity-orphan-toolresult-6026.test.ts`. (closes [#6026](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6026), [#6115](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6115))
+- **fix(providers):** emulate OpenAI-style `tool_calls` in the GitLab Duo executor (new `open-sse/executors/gitlabResponses.ts`), since the executor previously didn't emulate tool-call semantics for Duo, breaking tool-using clients routed to GitLab Duo. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gitlab-duo-toolcalls-6051.test.ts`. (closes [#6051](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6051), [#6111](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6111))
+- **fix(429 / accountFallback):** persist the per-account 429 cooldown cascade across the request boundary and classify OpenCode's "Monthly usage limit. Resets in N days." message as a connection-scoped quota exhaustion with an N-day cooldown (instead of a ~5s transient retry), so an exhausted account stops being re-selected until its window resets. ([#6061](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6061) — thanks @KooshaPari / @anki1kr, whose superseded #6086 carried the same day-parser approach)
+- **combo (sibling-model fallback on per-model-quota 500s):** when a combo held multiple models from the same provider (e.g. two Gemini models) and the first returned a server 500, the router retried the same locked model and surfaced a 429 "cooling down" instead of trying the sibling — `markConnectionLevelExhaustion` was wrongly tripped by a model-level 500 for per-model-quota providers (gemini, github, passthrough, compatible), and the retry loop didn't check `isModelLocked` before re-hitting the same model. Both gaps are fixed; the combo now falls through to the untried sibling model. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo/combo-target-exhaustion.test.ts` (21 cases). ([#5976](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5976) — thanks @hartmark)
+- **providers (Cline non-streaming envelope):** Cline can return OpenAI-compatible chat completions wrapped as `{ success, data: { choices, usage, ... } }`; the non-streaming path checked the top-level body for empty content before unwrapping, so a valid wrapped response could be misclassified as malformed/empty. The envelope is now unwrapped immediately after provider-envelope handling, before empty-content detection, usage extraction, and translation. Regression guard: `tests/unit/cline-response-envelope.test.ts`. ([#6046](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6046) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **providers (kimi-web, qwen-web):** align the kimi-web model catalog and request-scenario selection with `www.kimi.com`'s live `GetAvailableModels` response, and stop aliasing `qwen3-coder-plus` on qwen-web now that it is present as its own model in the live Qwen web catalog. ([#5915](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5915) — thanks @janeza2)
+- **translator (Antigravity/Gemini tool schemas):** strip `multipleOf` from function-declaration parameters before forwarding to Antigravity/Gemini — it is not part of the Gemini OpenAPI 3.0 schema subset accepted upstream and triggered a hard 400 ("Unknown name multipleOf"). Added to `GEMINI_UNSUPPORTED_SCHEMA_KEYS` so it is stripped at every schema level; `minimum`/`maximum` are unaffected since Gemini accepts them. (Ported from 9router#2309, reported by @abil0321.) ([#6052](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6052))
+- **translator (Kiro system prompt leak):** Kiro/CodeWhisperer has no system role, so system messages were normalized into a bare user turn — the full Claude Code system prompt then appeared as raw user text, polluting model context. System-origin content is now wrapped in `<system-reminder>` tags before merging into the Kiro user message; real user turns are unaffected. (Ported from 9router#2306, reported by @VitzS7.) ([#6053](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6053))
+- **fix(codex):** convert Chat Completions `json_schema` `response_format` → Responses API `text.format` on the Codex path, and preserve an existing `text.format` through verbosity normalization. Regression guards: 48 translator-openai-responses-req + 8 codex-verbosity tests. ([#5933](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5933) — thanks @yusufrahadika)
+- **fix(thinking):** only inject the `redacted_thinking` replay block when `tool_use` is present and thinking is enabled, avoiding a fabricated replay block on plain (non-tool) turns. ([#5945](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5945), [#5953](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5953))
+- **fix(resilience):** honor active **codex session affinity** over per-request reset-aware re-scoring, so an in-flight session sticks to its pinned account instead of being re-scored away mid-conversation. New `src/sse/services/sessionAffinityPin.ts` module. Regression guard: `tests/unit/codex-session-affinity-reset-aware-5903.test.ts`. ([#5903](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5903), [#5943](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5943))
+- **fix(resilience):** compute per-window `is_exhausted` and honor the quota-exhaustion preflight for **priority combos**, so a combo no longer keeps routing to a target whose current window is already exhausted. New `open-sse/services/combo/quotaExhaustionCutoff.ts`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-priority-quota-exhaustion-cutoff-5923.test.ts`. ([#5923](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5923), [#5941](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5941))
+- **fix(providers):** strip a `/v1` suffix from the base URL unconditionally in both models-discovery paths, avoiding a doubled `/v1/v1/models` fetch error (e.g. Api Airforce). Regression guard: `tests/unit/airforce-v1-double-prefix-5899.test.ts`. ([#5899](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5899), [#5920](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5920) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(api):** relax provider-scoped chat completion validation on `/api/providers/[provider]/chat/completions`. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-scoped-chat-completions-validation.test.ts`. ([#5907](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5907) — thanks @nickwizard)
+- **fix(providers):** validate **v0 Platform** (Vercel) API keys via the `/chats` endpoint instead of a probe that rejected valid keys. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-validation-specialty.test.ts`. ([#5954](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5954) — thanks @vittoroliveira-dev)
+- **fix(mcp):** auto-recover stale streamable HTTP MCP sessions on `initialize` instead of failing the reconnect. Regression guard: `tests/unit/mcp-session-sweep.test.ts`. ([#5957](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5957) — thanks @Chewji9875)
+- **fix(translator):** enforce strict Anthropic content-block compliance when converting an antigravity → openai request. Regression guard: `tests/unit/translator-antigravity-to-openai.test.ts` (9). ([#5935](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5935))
+- **fix(sse):** strip ANSI/VT100 escape codes from `gemini-cli` stream frames using a ReDoS-safe pattern. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gemini-cli-ansi-sanitization.test.ts` (5). ([#5934](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5934) — thanks @anki1kr)
+- **fix(discovery):** resolve a doubled `/v1` discovery path and a `REDIRECT_BLOCKED` probe-loop abort in the model-discovery route. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-models-route.test.ts`. ([#5904](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5904) — thanks @hamsa0x7)
+- **fix(providers): Perplexity Web now emits real `tool_calls` in streaming mode** — previously only non-streaming requests (`hasTools && !stream`) converted `<tool>{...}</tool>` text into OpenAI `tool_calls`; streaming requests (the default for agentic coding clients) got the raw `<tool>` text as plain `delta.content` and never emitted a `tool_calls` SSE delta. Now mirrors the `chatgpt-web` `toolMode` helpers (`buildToolModeResponse()`/`toolCompletionToSseStream()`, extended with a caller-supplied `idSeed` so tool-call ids stay provider-specific), buffering the completion and emitting a terminal SSE replay carrying `delta.tool_calls` + `finish_reason: tool_calls` regardless of the caller's stream flag. ([#5927](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5927), [#5937](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5937))
+- **providers (openai-family model inference no longer hijacks cataloged models):** `resolveModelByProviderInference()` had an unconditional `/^gpt-/i` heuristic that hijacked any model id starting with `gpt-`/`o1`/`o3` into provider `openai`, even when the id is cataloged under other providers — breaking bare (non-combo) requests for open-weight models like `gpt-oss-120b` (served by fireworks/cerebras/scaleway/byteplus/sambanova/heroku), which don't exist on openai's catalog, producing a 404 with no fallback. The heuristic is now gated on `providers.length === 0` so it only fires for genuinely uncataloged openai-family ids. Regression guard: `tests/unit/gptoss-provider-inference-5852.test.ts`. ([#5852](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5852), [#5938](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5938))
+- **fix(providers): deepseek-web reliability** — auto-refresh the session on `401`/`403`, refresh the v2.0.0 client headers, and fix the token-kind bulk import path. Regression guards: `tests/unit/deepseek-web-autorefresh-401-response.test.ts`, `tests/unit/bulk-web-session-import.test.ts`. ([#5988](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5988) — thanks @backryun)
+- **fix(api):** guard the shared frontend API client (`handleResponse` in `src/shared/utils/api.ts`) against non-JSON error responses — it previously called `response.json()` unconditionally and read `data.error` directly, throwing an unrelated parse error (or `undefined`) instead of a useful message when an upstream/proxy returned a non-JSON error body. Now routes through `parseResponseBody`/`getErrorMessage` to build a safe message regardless of body shape. Regression guard: `tests/unit/shared-api-utils.test.ts`. ([#5973](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5973))
+- **fix(embeddings):** forward the connection-level proxy configuration to embedding requests — `src/lib/embeddings/service.ts` previously ignored a connection's configured proxy when making embedding calls, so proxy-only network setups leaked embedding traffic outside the proxy. Regression guard: `tests/unit/embeddings-proxy-forwarding.test.ts`. ([#5975](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5975))
+- **fix(resilience):** parse `Retry-After` from a 429's JSON body for cooldown calculation, not just the HTTP header — a new `retryAfterJson.ts` helper extracts a retry-after hint from common JSON error-body shapes and `accountFallback.ts`'s cooldown path now prefers it when the header is absent. Regression guard: `tests/unit/account-fallback-retry-after-json.test.ts`. (Includes #6013's retry-after-json extraction.) ([#5974](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5974) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+
+### 📝 Maintenance
+
+- **release close (release-PR one-pass CI sweep):** restore Zod validation on the provider-scoped chat route with a `.passthrough()` schema that keeps #5907's relaxed semantics (t06 route-validation gate); point `/api/keys/{id}/devices`' 401 response at the management error envelope in `docs/openapi.yaml` (Schemathesis schema-conformance); rebaseline `i18nUiCoverage.pct` 77.5→76.8 (~1352 new en.json UI keys from the cycle await the async translation workflow — same shape as the v3.8.39 rebaseline); dismiss 2 CodeQL `js/incomplete-url-substring-sanitization` false positives on unit-test asserts (v3.8.35 precedent).
+
+- **release close (Phase 0 pre-flight):** align cycle-stale tests with merged behavior — provider count 166→167 (Kenari #6104), Linux-regenerated translate-path golden (+`kenari`), OpenCode quota scope `provider`→`connection` (#6061) — and absorb cycle ratchet drift (file-size caps for `oauth/[provider]/[action]/route.ts` 960, `providerLimits.ts` 998, `chat.ts` 1662, `auth.ts` 2426, with #6158 tracked to restore the oauth-route freeze). The test-masking gate gains a narrowly-scoped `_deletedWithReplacement` allowlist section (deletion is exempt ONLY when the declared replacement test file exists in HEAD — used for `targetExhaustion.test.ts` → `tests/unit/combo/combo-target-exhaustion.test.ts`, which has MORE coverage: 21 cases/52 asserts vs 13/37), plus 5 new gate unit tests and reduction-allowlist entries for the verified-legitimate #5958/#6088/#5816 assert migrations.
+
+- **test (deflake `setup-claude`):** `tests/unit/cli/setup-claude.test.ts` failed ~50% of runs with `Unable to deserialize cloned data due to invalid or unsupported version` at file teardown (all subtests passed), randomly reddening `Unit Tests fast-path (2/2)` / `Fast Quality Gates` across the PR→release queue. Root cause: `node --test` streams each file's report to the parent as V8-serialized frames on fd 1 (stdout), and the CLI helper under test (`syncClaudeProfilesFromModels`) prints progress via `console.log` — that stdout output interleaved with the serialized frames and corrupted the stream. The test now silences the stdout-writing `console` methods for the file's duration (no assertion inspects stdout), making it deterministic (15/15 green locally). ([#5959](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/5959)) ([#6021](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6021))
+
+- **API validation:** add a `validatedJsonBody(request, schema)` helper in `src/shared/validation/helpers.ts` that fuses JSON body parsing and Zod validation into a single call, returning either the type-narrowed data or a ready-to-return 400 `NextResponse` with the standard error envelope. Salvaged from the closed refactor PR #5075 (Tier 1 portable helper) with a focused 6-case regression test. Co-authored-by: KooshaPari <KooshaPari@users.noreply.github.com>
+- **repo (Windows case-conflict cleanup):** remove the stale root `DESIGN.md`, which case-conflicted with `design.md` and broke checkouts/clones on case-insensitive Windows filesystems. ([#6140](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6140) — thanks @backryun)
+- **i18n(zh-CN):** translate the CHANGELOG entries and section headings, adopting zh-CN as a fully translated locale alongside the existing supporting docs. ([#6043](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6043) — thanks @studyzy)
+- **docs (env-doc-sync base-red):** document `BIFROST_PORT` in `.env.example` / `docs/reference/ENVIRONMENT.md` — the Bifrost embedded-service merge referenced `process.env.BIFROST_PORT` (default 8080) without documenting it, so `check:env-doc-sync` failed on the release tip and reddened Fast Quality Gates for every open PR→release. Docs-only (`8d7e3e28f`).
+- **test (CI-runner-independent translate-path golden):** normalize OS/arch-derived request headers (`X-Stainless-Os`/`X-Stainless-Arch`, `(OS;arch)` User-Agent segments, and Antigravity's `os.platform()`-derived platform substring) in the provider translate-path golden snapshot, so the test no longer depends on the OS/arch of the CI runner that generated it — a Mac-literal Antigravity UA was failing on Linux CI. Regression guard: `tests/unit/provider-translate-path-golden.test.ts`. ([#6076](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6076) — thanks @KooshaPari)
+- **release-green base-reds (#5695 regex + file-size rebaseline):** `tests/unit/ui/quick-start-api-keys-link-5695.test.ts` now tolerates Prettier splitting a multi-line `<Link href=...>` so the `step1Desc` regex matches the `/dashboard/api-manager` link instead of skipping to `step2`'s single-line `/dashboard/providers` link (test was brittle, not the code). Also rebaselines 5 files that grew via already-merged release-tip PRs in `config/quality/file-size-baseline.json` (`ApiManagerPageClient` 3017→3058, `OAuthModal` 969→989, `cliRuntime` 1090→1100, `webProvidersA` 805→809, `deepseek-web.test` 1081→1092), with shrink tracked in #3501. ([#6093](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6093))
+- **release close (LEDGER-4 base-red):** the `cline-pass` provider's `minimax-m3` registry entry was missing `supportsVision`, breaking the LEDGER-4 registry-consistency test (every `minimax-m3` entry must set `supportsVision` to match `lite.ts` — the model is multimodal). Flagged it to match every other `minimax-m3` entry (trae, bazaarlink, cline, ollama-cloud, ...). ([#6003](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6003))
+- **release close (stryker `tap.testFiles` drift):** additional release-green cleanup clearing the `qoder` registry's `minimax-m3` `supportsVision` LEDGER-4 base-red and `stryker.conf.json`'s `tap.testFiles` drift. ([#6012](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6012))
+- **install (pnpm 11+ support):** pnpm 11 introduced `ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS` for native addon packages — without explicit `allowBuilds` approval, packages silently skip their build scripts and OmniRoute fails to start with missing native modules. Sets `allowBuilds=true` for all 13 native addon packages in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` (`@parcel/watcher`, `@swc/core`, `better-sqlite3`, `core-js`, `esbuild`, `keytar`, `koffi`, `libxmljs2`, `onnxruntime-node`, `protobufjs`, `sharp`, `tls-client-node`, `unrs-resolver`) and migrates `onlyBuiltDependencies` from the deprecated `package.json` field to a new `pnpm.json`. (commit 39349da18 — thanks @chirag127)
+- **refactor (Block J hot-path decomposition):** extract pure leaves with no behavior change from the executor, translator, combo, and SSE hot paths — orphaned executor tests moved to top-level so a runner collects them, and `handleComboChat`'s auto-strategy/target-timeout regions split into named helpers. ([#6063](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6063), [#6049](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6049), [#6036](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6036), [#6030](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6030), [#6020](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6020), [#6018](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6018), [#6017](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6017), [#6016](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6016), [#6015](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6015), [#6014](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6014), [#6008](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6008), [#6006](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6006), [#6000](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6000), [#5999](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5999), [#5994](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5994), [#5967](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5967), [#5962](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5962), [#5960](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5960), [#5947](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5947), [#5949](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5949), [#5940](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5940), [#5932](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5932))
+- **chore (quality/CI housekeeping):** rebaseline residual ESLint/cognitive-complexity/file-size drift accumulated over the v3.8.44 cycle, move orphaned executor tests to a top-level location so a runner actually collects them, harden the release pipeline with a test-masking pre-flight gate plus contributors/uncovered helpers, and make the `pr-evidence` FAIL output tell the author to push (a body edit alone does not re-run the gate). ([#5926](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5926), [#5944](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5944), [#5952](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5952), [#6027](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6027), [#5928](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5928), plus a #5975-collateral test hardening pinning a seeded connection to direct egress in route-edge-coverage)
+- **docs (housekeeping):** normalize mixed-language documentation content, restore the OpenAPI coverage ratchet by documenting 9 newly-added routes, record Hard Rule #22 (cross-session safety — `git stash` + in-flight PR bans), and document the compression-engine's upstream sync policy for the RTK/Caveman engines. ([#6105](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6105), [#5955](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5955), [#5948](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/5948), plus docs-only commit 926b08aa8)
