🐛 Bug Fix
🧹 Refactoring

Changes

This PR resolves all 67 mypy type-checking errors across 23+ files in the codebase, achieving a clean mypy run (0 errors).

Key changes include:

  • Type Literal Synchronization: Unified route_type Literal definitions across common_request_processing.py and route_llm_request.py to ensure consistency.
  • BFL Provider Fixes: Corrected OpenAIImageGenerationOptionalParams to include provider-specific parameters and aligned method override signatures in Black Forest Labs (BFL) transformations to match base classes.
  • Type Narrowing Improvements: Added isinstance guards and explicit type annotations in prompt_templates/factory.py and llm_http_handler.py to resolve type inference issues.
  • Guardrail and Hook Type Corrections: Addressed type mismatches in Presidio, PANW Prisma AIRS guardrails, Perplexity response transformations, and MCP semantic filter hooks.
  • Scattered Fixes: Applied numerous 1-off type fixes, including missing return statements, explicit casts, and targeted # type: ignore comments for known-safe patterns (e.g., finish_reason=None, dynamic TypedDict keys, google.genai imports).
  • Realtime Endpoints: Modified realtime_endpoints/endpoints.py to raise HTTPException on error instead of returning a raw Response, improving FastAPI error handling.
  • Test Updates: Updated BFL unit tests to reflect corrected method signatures.

These changes are primarily type-annotation-only and do not alter runtime behavior, with the exception of the improved error handling in realtime endpoints. All affected unit tests (BFL, Perplexity) pass, and no new test failures were introduced.

Greptile Summary

This PR resolves 67 mypy type-checking errors across 23+ files, fixing type annotation gaps, missing return statements, incorrect method signatures, and Literal type divergence between common_request_processing.py and route_llm_request.py. The changes are primarily annotation-only with no intended runtime behaviour change, though a few edge-case runtime behaviours are affected (e.g., the provider_config None-guard in llm_http_handler.py).

Key observations:

  • BFL image edit transform_image_edit_request (image_edit/transformation.py): the signature was widened to Optional[FileTypes] to match the base class, but _read_image_bytes(image) is called immediately without a None guard, producing a confusing ValueError: Unsupported image type: <class 'NoneType'> if None is ever passed.
  • BFL-specific params in OpenAIImageGenerationOptionalParams: safety_tolerance, prompt_upsampling, raw, num_images, image_url, image_prompt_strength, and aspect_ratio were added to the shared OpenAI type in litellm/types/llms/openai.py, violating provider-isolation conventions (noted in previous review thread).
  • Presidio cast masking bytes yield: cast(ModelResponseStream, chunk) silences the true Union[ModelResponseStream, bytes] return while bytes objects are still yielded at runtime (noted in previous review thread).
  • ProviderConfigManager.get_provider_chat_config (utils.py): the added explicit return None is a clean fix for a missing-return mypy error with no runtime change.
  • transform_image_generation_response (bfl/image_generation): replacing **kwargs with the explicit base-class-matching parameters is correct and the tests were updated accordingly.

Confidence Score: 3/5

  • PR is mostly safe but contains a handful of unresolved issues flagged in prior threads plus a new missing None guard.
  • The majority of changes are safe annotation-only mypy fixes. However, two issues from previous review threads remain unaddressed (BFL params polluting OpenAIImageGenerationOptionalParams and the cast hiding bytes in Presidio), and a new logic gap exists in black_forest_labs/image_edit/transformation.py where _read_image_bytes(image) is called on a potentially-None value without a guard.
  • litellm/llms/black_forest_labs/image_edit/transformation.py (missing None guard), litellm/types/llms/openai.py (provider-specific params in shared type), litellm/proxy/guardrails/guardrail_hooks/presidio.py (cast hides bytes yield)

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
litellm/llms/black_forest_labs/image_edit/transformation.py Signature updated to Optional[str]/Optional[FileTypes] to match base class, but _read_image_bytes(image) is called without a None guard — will raise a confusing ValueError if image=None.
litellm/types/llms/openai.py BFL-specific params (safety_tolerance, prompt_upsampling, raw, num_images, image_url, image_prompt_strength, aspect_ratio) added to OpenAIImageGenerationOptionalParams — violates the provider-isolation convention (see previous review thread).
litellm/proxy/guardrails/guardrail_hooks/presidio.py cast(ModelResponseStream, chunk) silences the true Union[ModelResponseStream, bytes] return type — bytes chunks still flow at runtime, misleading consumers (see previous review thread).
litellm/utils.py Added explicit return None to ProviderConfigManager.get_provider_chat_config — fixes a mypy "missing return" error with no runtime behaviour change.
litellm/proxy/common_request_processing.py Synchronised route_type Literal definitions across both function overloads and expanded the accepted route set; acancel_batch/afile_delete relocation vs route_llm_request.py noted in previous thread.
litellm/proxy/route_llm_request.py Added missing route types (batch, file, fine-tuning, vector-store variants, asend_message, call_mcp_tool) to the Literal union; acancel_batch/afile_delete remain at tail position per previous thread review.
litellm/llms/custom_httpx/llm_http_handler.py provider_config None-guard prevents calling _handle_error(None); explicit Dict/Any annotations on params/request_body vars; safe mypy fixes.

    Missing None guard before _read_image_bytes

    The method signature was updated to image: Optional[FileTypes] to match the base class, but the body calls self._read_image_bytes(image) immediately without checking for None. If a caller passes image=None, execution falls through to the else branch in _read_image_bytes and raises:

    ValueError: Unsupported image type: <class 'NoneType'>. Expected bytes, str (URL or file path), or file-like object.
    

    This error message gives no indication that None was passed, making the bug hard to diagnose. Add an explicit guard:

Backwards-incompatible error response format change

The previous code returned a raw Response with the upstream's binary content and media_type="application/json", so clients received the verbatim upstream JSON error body. The new code raises HTTPException(detail=upstream_resp.text), which FastAPI serialises as {"detail": "<error text>"}.

Any client that was parsing the upstream error JSON (e.g. {"error": {"message": "…", "code": "…"}}) will now see a different shape and break. Per the project's backward-compatibility policy this kind of behavioral change should be guarded by a user-controlled flag.

If the intent is just to satisfy mypy's "must raise, not return" requirement, the original Response(...) approach was also valid — the fix for the type error would be to annotate the return type of the function with Union[…, Response] rather than changing the runtime behavior.

…llback

- Revert realtime_endpoints/endpoints.py to original Response return
  (preserves backwards-compatible API contract; accepts 1 known mypy error)
- Replace 'assert provider_config is not None' with proper if/else
  fallback that re-raises the original exception when provider_config
  is None, avoiding AssertionError in production and python -O issues

BFL-specific params polluting OpenAIImageGenerationOptionalParams

safety_tolerance, prompt_upsampling, raw, num_images, image_url, image_prompt_strength, and aspect_ratio are Black Forest Labs (BFL)-specific parameters that have no meaning for OpenAI's image-generation API. Embedding them in a type called OpenAIImageGenerationOptionalParams inside litellm/types/llms/openai.py violates the project rule that provider-specific code should live inside the llms/ directory.

The preferred approach is to define a BFLImageGenerationOptionalParams Literal locally in litellm/llms/black_forest_labs/image_generation/transformation.py and have get_supported_openai_params return values from that type union instead of polluting the shared OpenAI type.

Rule Used: What: Avoid writing provider-specific code outside... (source)

cast hides real bytes chunks flowing through the iterator

Both _stream_apply_output_masking (line 1129) and _stream_pii_unmasking (line 1183) are declared as AsyncGenerator[Union[ModelResponseStream, bytes], None] and explicitly yield chunk when isinstance(chunk, bytes) is true (lines 1143 and 1197). cast() has zero runtime effect — it is purely a type annotation directive. This means that when Anthropic native SSE responses are being processed, raw bytes objects will still be yielded out of async_post_call_streaming_iterator_hook, but the declared return type now claims only ModelResponseStream is ever yielded.

Any consumer iterating over this hook and treating items as ModelResponseStream (e.g., accessing .choices) will silently receive a bytes object and produce an AttributeError. The previous return type AsyncGenerator[Union[ModelResponseStream, bytes], None] was more honest about what callers must handle. The type annotation narrowing does not fix the underlying design — it just hides it from the type checker.

acancel_batch / afile_delete silently removed from async-generator routes

The diff removes "acancel_batch" and "afile_delete" from the bottom of this list (replacing them with "asend_message" and "call_mcp_tool"), while adding them to an earlier block in the same function. However the parallel list in route_llm_request.py keeps "acancel_batch" and "afile_delete" at the bottom of its own list and only adds "asend_message"/"call_mcp_tool" before them. If the two files diverge on which position these route types occupy, any code that depends on list ordering (e.g. first-match logic, index-based dispatch) could behave differently for these two routes. Please double-check that the relocation is intentional and that the ordering semantics in both files remain consistent.

Revert the return type narrowing and cast() calls in
async_post_call_streaming_iterator_hook. The internal generators
_stream_apply_output_masking and _stream_pii_unmasking genuinely
yield bytes objects for Anthropic native SSE chunks. Casting them
to ModelResponseStream masks a real design issue. Restore the
original Union[ModelResponseStream, bytes] return type and accept
the known mypy override error for now.
