What

A specification, not an implementation, for the one finding from the removal audit that is still open.

The gap

middleware is a public option on generate() and stream(), applied in exactly one place — wrapping the model handle via getAISDKModelWithMiddleware (baseProvider.ts:2723). Four call sites reach it, and that is the entire list:

call site mode
openaiChatCompletionsBase.ts:1132 generate
openaiChatCompletionsBase.ts:1534 stream
anthropic/client.ts:1766 generate
amazonSagemaker.ts:206 generate

googleVertex, googleAiStudio and amazonBedrock appear nowhere on it. All three override generate() and executeStream() with native paths that never wrap the model, so transformParams, wrapGenerate and wrapStream never fire. Only onFinish works, because it is special-cased separately.

The sharp consequence: a caller who configures blocking guardrails and points at Vertex gets no error and no filtering. It looks configured and does nothing.

Not a regression

Acknowledged twice, deliberately — in 2026-09-03-remove-remaining-ai-sdk-plan.md ("already bypass it for exactly this reason, so stage 3 extends an existing gap rather than inventing one") and under "Not in this PR" in #1636. A pre-existing gap the native migration widened, not one it introduced. Any implementing PR should say so.

What the spec contains

  • the exact entry points to change, per provider, with line numbers
  • fix(middleware): apply model middleware on the OpenAI-compatible streaming path #1636's shape as the template, plus the four corrections review forced out of it: convert the prompt to the wire after transformParams; emit a terminal finish part with usage; tolerate a middleware that never calls doStream (guardrails' precall path) or analytics hangs; forward cancellation or the connection leaks
  • ordering — AI Studio (smallest, proves the pattern), then Vertex (two stream entry points plus a Gemini-3 branch), then Bedrock (AWS SDK transport, so cancellation needs its own answer). One PR each.
  • the red-first cases, including that the blocking-guardrail case must assert zero requests reached the stand-in
  • the gates, with a note on why test:providers-mocked is not optional here: the live matrix once passed a change that broke ten of its cells, because every provider reachable from a dev machine streams and only the mocked gate serves a non-streaming body
  • the two traps this repo has already paid for — payloads in assertion messages silently downgrade a failure to a skip, and mixing src/dist module graphs breaks stubs and instanceof with a clean typecheck

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added a specification outlining planned middleware support for Google Vertex, Google AI Studio, and Amazon Bedrock.
    • Documents expected middleware behavior for generation and streaming, including lifecycle callbacks, guardrails, cancellation, and testing requirements.
    • Clarifies implementation sequencing, validation gates, and areas outside the planned scope.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a specification for applying model middleware to native Google Vertex, Google AI Studio, and Amazon Bedrock generate() and stream() paths. It defines implementation requirements, tests, rollout order, validation gates, and scope exclusions.

Changes

Native Provider Middleware

Layer / File(s) Summary
Middleware implementation plan
docs/plans/2026-09-07-middleware-on-native-providers.md
The specification documents the middleware gap, native wrapping requirements, provider rollout order, red-first tests, validation gates, and out-of-scope behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 86207

This plan defines middleware behavior and validation for native provider paths, but its current scope, call graph, lifecycle descriptions, and local test setup remain incomplete or inaccurate. Resolve these documentation issues before merge so the implementation work and its tests cover the intended provider behavior.

NEEDS_WORK — the spec's structure, ordering, gates and red-first test plan are right, but four of its "state of the code" claims are false or incomplete, and they are the claims an implementing PR will be written against.

This is a specification document, so the review spent itself on factual accuracy: every file/line reference, call-site, gate name and quote was verified against the code graph built at this PR's merge base (b2a760e) plus code search at the base ref.

# Severity Location Finding
1 MAJOR docs/plans/2026-09-07-middleware-on-native-providers.md:30-34 baseProvider.ts:1515 is not "the standard flow, now deleted" — the chain generate():1717 → runGenerateWithModelFallback:1765 → attempt:1799 → runGenerateInActiveContext:1752 → prepareGenerationContext:1884 → getAISDKModelWithMiddleware:1515 is live at HEAD (also corroborated by replicate.ts's comment and the 09-03 plan the doc itself cites). Five call sites, not four; the gap's framing ("three providers appear nowhere on it") should be "three providers override both entry points".
2 MAJOR :53-57 "only onFinish works, because it is special-cased (fireGenerateOnFinish)" holds for Vertex only — AI Studio and Bedrock reference neither fireGenerateOnFinish nor any generate-path onFinish.
3 MAJOR :68-70 Vertex's entry points each dispatch to two native branches: Anthropic-on-Vertex (executeNativeAnthropicStream:1244, executeNativeAnthropicGenerate:6834 — the larger half of the file) alongside the Gemini-3 branches. The table names only Gemini-3.
4 MAJOR :96-100 AI Studio's executeStream:772 is not "a single native SSE loop" — it dispatches executeAudioStreamViaGeminiLive:780 (audio, non-SSE) before the text loop at :838. The "smallest surface" ordering rationale needs the audio branch excluded explicitly.
5 MINOR :112-120 The red-first plan never says how Vertex/AI-Studio/Bedrock reach a local HTTP stand-in (no baseURL on any of the three; Bedrock is AWS SDK + endpoint override). The "zero requests reached the stand-in" assertion is unimplementable without that recipe.

Checked and clean (silence here is verified absence, not omission):

  • All 7 entry-point line numbers in the "Entry points to change" table — exact (Vertex :6635/:1175/:6575, AI Studio :1746/:772, Bedrock :233/:895).
  • All 9 gate script names exist in package.json verbatim (check, lint, build, test:stream-middleware, test:providers-mocked, test:vertex-loop-characterization, test:aistudio-loop-characterization, test:bedrock-loop-characterization, test:matrix).
  • The quoted sentence from docs/plans/2026-09-03-remove-remaining-ai-sdk-plan.md — verbatim, in the "Middleware: a narrow, real consequence" section.
  • The fix(middleware): apply model middleware on the OpenAI-compatible streaming path #1636 template summary (four corrections) matches that PR's own "Defects found in review" list.
  • Zero references to getAISDKModelWithMiddleware / applyMiddlewareToModel in googleVertex/, googleAiStudio/, amazonBedrock/ clients — the core gap claim is real.
  • The four call sites listed do exist: openaiChatCompletionsBase.ts:1132 and :1534, anthropic/client.ts (~1766, in its generate/dispatch path), amazonSagemaker.ts:206 (in executeNativeGenerate, 197–296).
  • Bedrock transport claim — correct (getBedrockClient:891, AWS SDK ConverseStreamCommand, optional @aws-sdk/* deps).
  • Both "traps": the defineSuite/isExpectedProviderError SKIP-downgrade is real (test/helpers/harness.ts imports it from test/helpers/envGuard.ts; the same warning is already written out in test/continuous-test-suite-file-formats.ts), and the one-module-graph rule matches CLAUDE.md Rule 15.
  • No secrets, no code changes, no public-API impact (docs-only diff); commit format and single-commit policy pass.

Impact analysis note: docs-only diff, so blast radius was computed on the claims rather than the diff — each finding above names the out-of-diff code the spec misdescribes. Graph was built and current (17,154 nodes / 145,720 edges at b2a760e, 18 min old at review time).

Findings 1–4 are all in the same class — the spec was drafted against an older or partial read of baseProvider.ts and the provider clients — and all four carry concrete suggested rewrites inline.

In `@docs/plans/2026-09-07-middleware-on-native-providers.md`:
- Around line 107-111: Clarify the plan’s treatment of
executeAudioStreamViaGeminiLive: either explicitly exclude audio under “Out of
scope” and state that ordering compares only the text SSE branch, or define the
audio middleware application and cancellation behavior before proceeding.
- Line 19: Update the call-site inventory to count five live sites, including
the baseProvider entry point. Clarify that three providers bypass middleware by
overriding the public generate() and stream() paths, and update the entry-point
table to include both Vertex Anthropic and Gemini-3 branches for generate and
stream.
- Around line 46-50: Revise the lifecycle discussion to scope the claim to the
generate path: distinguish Vertex’s provider-local fireGenerateOnFinish handling
from AI Studio and Bedrock lacking generate handlers, and document the
BaseProvider behavior that stream callers receive without asserting all
lifecycle callbacks are dropped.
- Around line 139-146: Update the middleware plan to include executable
provider-specific local stand-in setup for Vertex, AI Studio, and Bedrock,
covering Google credentials or ADC, endpoint/base-URL overrides or injected
fetch, and Bedrock endpoint and credentials configuration. Reference existing
characterization helpers where applicable, and ensure the documented setup
supports wire assertions and the zero-request guardrail test.
- Line 76: Update the sentence beginning “#1636 solved” so the reference is
valid Markdown prose, using “PR `#1636` solved...” rather than leaving the
hash-prefixed number at the start.

NEEDS_WORK — the revision is a solid, accurate correction: all five findings from the prior review are now incorporated and my independent re-verification confirms every new factual claim. Two minor gaps in the rewrite remain, both internal-consistency issues an implementing PR could trip on.

# Severity Location Finding
1 MINOR docs/plans/2026-09-07-middleware-on-native-providers.md:19 Sentence still says "Four call sites reach it. That is the whole list:" but the table beneath it now has five rows (the baseProvider.ts:1515 row added to fix the prior finding was not reflected in the lead-in).
2 MINOR :53 The "Entry points to change" table's Vertex row still omits the Anthropic branch (executeNativeAnthropicGenerate/executeNativeAnthropicStream), even though the Order section now correctly identifies it as the larger half of the file. The operative implementation table should match the Order narrative.

Prior findings 1–5 accepted as addressed (verified, not assumed):

  • Fifth call site (was MAJOR) — baseProvider.ts:1515 is now listed as a live fifth row, and the paragraph "The fifth entry matters, and an earlier draft of this spec got it wrong by calling it deleted" correctly walk it back. Graph at HEAD confirms the live chain generate() → runGenerateWithModelFallback → attempt → runGenerateInActiveContext → prepareGenerationContext → getAISDKModelWithMiddleware:1515.
  • onFinish (was MAJOR) — now correctly scoped to Vertex only via fireGenerateOnFinish; I confirmed via code search that googleAiStudio/client.ts and amazonBedrock/client.ts contain zero onFinish references.
  • Vertex Anthropic branch (was MAJOR) — acknowledged in the Order section (four loops, executeStream:1254/:1244, generate:6635), with getAnthropicVertexModule/hasAnthropicSupport present in the file. Only the entry-points table lag (finding feat: Complete Visual Ecosystem + Automated NPM Publishing v1.1.0 #2 above) remains.
  • AI Studio audio branch (was MAJOR) — now explicit: executeAudioStreamViaGeminiLive at executeStream:780, "not a single SSE loop", and the audio decision is called out as a decision to settle. Verified.
  • Stand-in transport (was MINOR) — now has its own "Answer the transport question first" paragraph enumerating per-provider seams.

Checked and clean:

  • The claimed AI Studio runGenerateInActiveContext comment — verified verbatim ("replicated here because AI Studio's override bypasses that path").
  • Entry-point line numbers (Vertex :6635/:1175/:6575, AI Studio :1746/:772, Bedrock :233/:895) — exact.
  • All 9 gate script names, the two module-graph/defineSuite traps, and the test:providers-mocked justification — already hand-verified at base by the prior review; unchanged and consistent.
  • Docs-only diff; risk low; no code, no public-API, no secret impact; single-commit + Conventional Commit format pass.

Impact note: docs-only change, so blast radius was assessed on the spec's claims (each finding above names the out-of-diff code it affects) rather than the diff. The two open findings are wording/table-consistency fixes with concrete suggestions inline.

NEEDS_WORK — all five original findings are now incorporated and verified; two MINOR spec-internal inconsistencies remain.

The fifth call site, the Vertex-only onFinish scoping, the Vertex Anthropic/Gemini-3 branches, the AI Studio audio branch, and the stand-in transport recipe are all correctly in the revised doc. Two leftovers keep this from approval:

  • Line 19 still says "Four call sites reach it" while the table lists five.
  • Line 60: the Vertex row of the entry-points table omits the Anthropic-on-Vertex branches that the Order section correctly counts.

Full details and suggested rewrites are inline.

NEEDS_WORK — this is a docs-only specification, so the review spent itself on factual accuracy of the code claims; the revision incorporated all five prior findings, and two MINOR spec-internal inconsistencies remain.

Note: this supersedes the earlier summary on this PR, which described the pre-revision draft. The prior findings (table below) are all incorporated and verified in the current doc.

# Severity file:line Finding
6 MINOR docs/plans/2026-09-07-middleware-on-native-providers.md:19 Prose still reads "Four call sites reach it. That is the whole list:" while the table lists five rows (the 5th, baseProvider.ts:1515, was the earlier MAJOR #1 fix). Leftover from the fix.
7 MINOR :60 The "Entry points to change" table's Vertex row names only the Gemini-3 paths; the Anthropic-on-Vertex branches (executeNativeAnthropicStream :1244, executeNativeAnthropicGenerate :6834) are omitted even though the Order section correctly counts four loops. An implementer wrapping only the listed rows would silently leave Claude-on-Vertex unwrapped.

Findings now accepted as incorporated (verified against the current HEAD doc, not re-posted):

  1. baseProvider.ts:1515 is live — now a fifth table row with an explicit "earlier draft called it deleted" walk-back. ✅
  2. onFinish is Vertex-only — doc now scopes it to Vertex via fireGenerateOnFinish and states AI Studio/Bedrock fire none. ✅
  3. Vertex Anthropic branches — correctly counted in the Order section (executeNativeAnthropicStream :1244 / executeNativeAnthropicGenerate :6834, the larger half of the file). ✅
  4. AI Studio audio branch — now explicit (executeAudioStreamViaGeminiLive, "not a single SSE loop"), with the audio-vs-text ordering decision spelled out. ✅
  5. Stand-in transport recipe — now has its own "Answer the transport question first" paragraph naming env override / Express API-key route / injected fetch / SDK endpoint. ✅

Checked and clean (verified absence, not omission):

  • Entry-point line numbers in the current table (:6635, :1175, :6575, :1746, :772, :233, :895).
  • All gate names exist in package.json; the test:providers-mocked rationale (live matrix once passed a change that broke ten cells) is accurate.
  • Both "traps" (SKIP-downgrade via isExpectedProviderError, one-module-graph rule) match CLAUDE.md / the harness.
  • No secrets, no code changes, no public-API impact (docs-only diff); commit format & single-commit policy pass.

Impact analysis note: docs-only diff, so blast radius was computed on the code claims, not the diff — each accepted finding names the out-of-diff code the spec now describes correctly.

Author: applying the two inline rewrites (lines 19 and 60) will clear the last two findings.

Yama review-state note — deduplication pass.

Validating this PR's review state surfaced that the current review had already been posted (the prior pass), and this pass re-posted the same two findings, creating duplicates. Cleaned up as far as the available tooling allows:

Item State
Review verdict NEEDS_WORK, reflected as a CHANGES_REQUESTED review on the current head (5132873177) ✅
Finding — "Four call sites" vs five-row table (line 19) canonical yama:call-site-count-four-vs-five kept; duplicate thread yama:five-call-sites-prose resolved
Finding — Vertex entry-points table omits Anthropic branches canonical yama:entry-points-table-vertex-anthropic kept; duplicate thread yama:vertex-entrypoints-omit-anthropic resolved
Summary comment canonical #issuecomment-5571816280 (NEEDS_WORK, 2-finding table, prior 5 accepted)

Known limitation: this repository's toolset provides no way to delete individual review/issue comments, so the two duplicate inline threads were resolved (collapsed) rather than removed, and the redundant #issuecomment-5571839351 summary + the obsolete one (5562912949) could not be deleted. They are marked <!-- yama:summary --> again; a maintainer can remove 5562912949 and 5571839351, keeping 5571816280 as the single canonical summary. Functionally the review is complete and the verdict is enforced by the changes-requested review state.

NEEDS_WORK — the revision cleared all five MAJOR findings and the line-19 count, but two findings remain: (A) the transport paragraph now recommends installMockFetch as "the most likely answer" when the repo's own characterization suites prove the seams are credentials.*.baseURL / AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_BEDROCK_RUNTIME, and installMockFetch cannot reach Bedrock's AWS-SDK transport; (B) the "Entry points to change" table still omits Vertex's Anthropic branch despite the reply claiming it was fixed. Inline rewrites are attached to both.

Comment on lines +155 to +162
Start from the precedent already in the repo rather than inventing one: the
per-provider characterization suites (`test:vertex-loop-characterization`,
`test:aistudio-loop-characterization`, `test:bedrock-loop-characterization`)
already drive these three deterministically, and `providers-mocked` reaches
them through `installMockFetch`, which intercepts at the fetch layer and so
does not need a caller-supplied `baseURL` at all. That interception is the
most likely answer for AI Studio and Vertex; Bedrock's AWS SDK client may
need its own endpoint option instead.

MAJOR — the transport answer added to close the earlier stand-in finding is factually wrong, and contradicts the very characterization suites it cites.

This paragraph was added in the revision that "addressed" the prior stand-in finding, but the recommendation it now makes does not match how this repo actually stands up these three providers — and a follow-up from CodeRabbit already flagged exactly this (discussion_r3950505659).

Two concrete problems:

  1. installMockFetch only patches globalThis.fetch (test/utils/mockFetch.ts: const original = globalThis.fetch; ... globalThis.fetch = (...) => {...}). It therefore cannot reach Bedrock's transport at all: the characterization suite shows @aws-sdk/client-bedrock-runtime uses its own NodeHttp2Handler/"EventStream" framing, not global fetch. The doc's own hedge (line 161-162, "Bedrock's AWS SDK client may need its own endpoint option") concedes this for Bedrock.
  2. The repo's own characterization suites — which this paragraph tells the implementing PR to start from — do NOT use installMockFetch. They point the real SDK at a local server:
    • AI Studio — credentials.googleAiStudio.baseURL: "http://127.0.0.1:<port>", threaded into the SDK's httpOptions.baseUrl (continuous-test-suite-aistudio-loop-characterization.ts).
    • Vertex — credentials.vertex.baseURL via Express Mode (apiKey with no project/location). The suite header is explicit that this is the only offline route: "Vertex authenticated through ADC before every request, which ignores an endpoint override, so a stand-in received nothing at all" (continuous-test-suite-vertex-loop-characterization.ts).
    • Bedrock — AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_BEDROCK_RUNTIME + fake AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID/AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY/AWS_REGION (continuous-test-suite-bedrock-loop-characterization.ts).

So line 158's claim that providers-mocked "reaches them through installMockFetch, which intercepts at the fetch layer and so does not need a caller-supplied baseURL at all" is doubly wrong: it misassigns the mechanism, and it contradicts the sentence directly above it (lines 155-157) that says the characterization suites "already drive these three deterministically" — those suites drive them through credentials.*.baseURL / AWS_ENDPOINT_URL, not installMockFetch. An implementing PR that follows the installMockFetch recommendation will find its "zero requests reached the stand-in" assertion unimplementable on Bedrock.

Suggested correction — describe the actual proven seams (this is precisely the "Answer the transport question first" content the earlier finding was asking for):

- **AI Studio** — `credentials.googleAiStudio.baseURL` threaded into the SDK's
`httpOptions.baseUrl`.
- **Vertex** — Express Mode (`credentials.vertex.apiKey` with no
project/location) so ADC is skipped and the route is `credentials.vertex.baseURL`.
Plain ADC cannot be stood up locally: it ignores the endpoint override.
- **Bedrock** — `AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_BEDROCK_RUNTIME` plus fake
`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` / `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` / `AWS_REGION`; the AWS SDK
transport is not global fetch, so `installMockFetch` cannot reach it.
`providers-mocked` is not a substitute: `installMockFetch` intercepts only
`globalThis.fetch`, which none of these three transports requires
caller-supplied via the above seams.

Recurring review (current head 424b469): finding still open — re-verified, not re-posted. The spec's transport paragraph is unchanged and still recommends installMockFetch as "the most likely answer for AI Studio and Vertex". Verified against the repo at this head:

  • test/utils/mockFetch.ts — installMockFetch replaces only globalThis.fetch (const original = globalThis.fetch; ... globalThis.fetch = ...). It cannot reach Bedrock's AWS-SDK transport regardless of endpoint.
  • The three characterization suites this paragraph cites as its own precedent do not use installMockFetch. continuous-test-suite-aistudio-loop-characterization.ts routes the real @google/genai SDK via credentials.googleAiStudio.baseURL → httpOptions.baseUrl; continuous-test-suite-bedrock-loop-characterization.ts uses AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_BEDROCK_RUNTIME + fake AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID/AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY/AWS_REGION (SigV4-real).

So lines 160-163 contradict lines 155-159 of the same paragraph, and an implementing PR following installMockFetch cannot make the "zero requests reached the stand-in" assertion work on Bedrock. Please apply the per-provider seam rewrite suggested above (or the exact recipe the characterization suites already encode).

Fixed in #1894: the middleware plan now names the real seams (AI Studio, Vertex Express and HTTP/2 Bedrock) instead of describing fetch interception.

MINOR — the "Entry points to change" Vertex row still omits the Anthropic branch, despite the reply claiming it was added.

Your reply to this thread says the table "now names executeNativeAnthropicStream:1244 and executeNativeGemini3Stream:1254 under executeStream, and both generate branches" — but the operative table at HEAD does not reflect that. The Vertex row still reads only :6635 (generate) and :1175 executeStream, :6575 stream, with no mention of the Anthropic-on-Vertex pair (executeNativeAnthropicGenerate:6834 / executeNativeAnthropicStream:1244).

The Order section (line 111) does now count them correctly — that half is fixed — but this "Entry points to change" table is the list an implementing PR is actually written against. An implementer who wraps only what this row names ships with Claude-on-Vertex still silently unwrapped: the exact "looks configured and does nothing" failure the spec exists to close. Keep the two sections consistent:

Suggested change
| `googleVertex/client.ts` | `:6635` | `:1175` `executeStream`, `:6575` `stream` |
| `googleVertex/client.ts` | `:6635` (Gemini-3 `:6845`, Anthropic `:6834`) | `:1175` `executeStream` (Gemini-3 `:1254`, Anthropic `:1244`), `:6575` `stream` |

The Order section already carries the annotation; mirror it here so the implementation table is the complete seam list.

NEEDS_WORK — docs-only specification; the review spent itself on factual accuracy of the code/test claims. The revision incorporated all prior findings, but two remain open — one a genuine factual error introduced by the fix (transport mechanism), one a stale operative table.

This updates the prior yama:summary (#5571816280). The line-19 count it flagged is now fixed; its other finding (Vertex entry-points table) turns out to be not actually fixed despite the reply claiming otherwise, and the earlier "stand-in transport" finding is re-opened because the added answer is factually wrong. Prior summaries #5562912949/#5571839351 remain as historical records; this is the current one.

# Severity file:line Finding
A MAJOR docs/plans/2026-09-07-middleware-on-native-providers.md:155-162 The transport paragraph added to close the earlier stand-in finding now recommends installMockFetch as "the most likely answer for AI Studio and Vertex" and claims providers-mocked "reaches them through installMockFetch… without a caller-supplied baseURL." Both are wrong: installMockFetch patches only globalThis.fetch (test/utils/mockFetch.ts), so it cannot reach Bedrock's AWS-SDK NodeHttp2Handler transport; and the repo's own characterization suites pointed these three at a local server via credentials.googleAiStudio.baseURL, credentials.vertex.baseURL (Express Mode — the header notes ADC "ignores an endpoint override, so a stand-in received nothing at all"), and AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_BEDROCK_RUNTIME respectively. The paragraph contradicts its own citation of those suites (which don't use installMockFetch), and an implementing PR following it cannot make the "zero requests reached the stand-in" assertion work on Bedrock. CodeRabbit independently rebutted the same point (discussion_r3950505659).
B MINOR :67 The "Entry points to change" Vertex row still lists only :6635 / :1175 executeStream, :6575 stream. The Anthropic-on-Vertex pair (executeNativeAnthropicGenerate:6834 / executeNativeAnthropicStream:1244) is omitted even though the Order section now counts four loops. The author's reply claimed the table names them — it does not. See separate thread.

Prior findings accepted as addressed (verified at HEAD dc6b137, not re-posted):

  1. Fifth call site baseProvider.ts:1515 (was MAJOR) — now a live fifth row; lead-in reads "Five call sites reach it." ✅
  2. onFinish Vertex-only (was MAJOR) — now scoped correctly via fireGenerateOnFinish, with AI Studio/Bedrock stated to drop it on generate and wrapStreamWithLifecycleCallbacks covering stream. ✅
  3. Vertex Anthropic branches (was MAJOR) — counted in the Order section (executeStream:1254/:1244, generate:6635); only the operative table below lags (finding B). ✅ for narrative, ❌ for table.
  4. AI Studio audio branch (was MAJOR) — explicit (executeAudioStreamViaGeminiLive, "not a single SSE loop"), listed under Out of scope with text-SSE-only comparison. ✅
  5. Stand-in transport (was MINOR) — the omission is filled, but with the wrong mechanism → re-opened as finding A.
  6. Line 19 "Four call sites" (was MINOR) — now "Five". ✅

Checked and clean (verified absence, not omission): all seven entry-point line numbers; all nine gate script names exist in package.json; the quoted 2026-09-03 plan sentence (verbatim); the #1636 four-correction template; both "traps" (SKIP-downgrade via isExpectedProviderError, and the module-graph rule — CLAUDE.md Rule 15); installMockFetch intercepts only fetch (verified in test/utils/mockFetch.ts); zero installMockFetch usage in the three characterization suites. No secrets, no code changes, no public-API impact (docs-only); single-commit + Conventional Commit pass.

Impact note: docs-only diff, so blast radius was assessed on the code claims (each finding names the out-of-diff code/test it affects) rather than the diff. Code graph built and current (17,164 nodes / 145,822 edges, 104s old).

Author: applying the two inline rewrites (finding A on line 155-162, finding B on line 67) clears the last two findings.

`middleware` is public on generate() and stream(), but it is applied in
exactly one place — wrapping the model via getAISDKModelWithMiddleware —
and only four call sites reach it: openaiChatCompletionsBase (generate
and stream), anthropic (generate) and amazonSagemaker (generate).

googleVertex, googleAiStudio and amazonBedrock are on none of them. All
three override generate() and executeStream() with native paths that
never wrap the model, so transformParams, wrapGenerate and wrapStream
never fire for them. Only onFinish works, because it is special-cased
separately. The sharp consequence: a caller who configures blocking
guardrails and points at Vertex gets no error and no filtering — it looks
configured and does nothing.

This is pre-existing and was acknowledged twice on purpose — in
2026-09-03-remove-remaining-ai-sdk-plan.md and under "Not in this PR" in
the stream-middleware PR — so it is a gap the native migration widened,
not one it introduced.

The spec names the entry points to change per provider, takes #1636's
shape as the template together with the four corrections review forced
out of it (wire conversion after transformParams, a terminal finish part,
tolerating a middleware that never calls doStream, forwarding
cancellation), orders the work AI Studio then Vertex then Bedrock with
one PR each, and specifies the red-first cases — including that the
blocking-guardrail case must assert ZERO requests reached the stand-in,
which is the one that fails loudest today.

It also carries the two traps this repo has already paid for: payloads in
assertion messages silently downgrade a failure to a skip, and mixing the
src and dist module graphs in one suite breaks stubs and instanceof with
a clean typecheck.

Yama recurring-review pass — state confirmation (head 424b469).

Verdict unchanged: NEEDS_WORK. This is a docs-only spec; the review continues to spend itself on factual accuracy of the code/test claims.

Current head 424b469 still contains both open findings from the canonical summary (#5571924627), which I re-verified against the repo rather than carrying forward on faith — no duplicates were posted (the two inline threads already carry the full, accurate explanations; I appended brief confirmation replies):

Finding Location Severity Status at 424b469
Transport paragraph recommends installMockFetch (fetch-only — can't reach Bedrock's AWS-SDK transport; contradicts the characterization suites' own credentials.*.baseURL / AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_BEDROCK_RUNTIME recipe) :155-163 MAJOR OPEN
"Entry points to change" Vertex row omits the Anthropic-on-Vertex pair despite the Order section counting four loops :67 MINOR OPEN

Prior findings accepted as addressed (verified at this head, not re-posted): the "Five call sites" count, onFinish scoped to Vertex generate-only, AI Studio audio-branch exclusion in the loop table, and the graph/format/governance checks listed in #5571924627.

Checked and clean this pass: all page‑wire factual anchors — installMockFetch patches only globalThis.fetch (test/utils/mockFetch.ts); AI Studio's characterization suite routes via credentials.googleAiStudio.baseURL → httpOptions.baseUrl; Bedrock's via AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_BEDROCK_RUNTIME + fake SigV4 creds. Docs-only diff → no secrets, no code, no public-API impact; single-commit + Conventional Commit pass.

Author: applying the two inline rewrites (the installMockFetch paragraph, and the Vertex row of the entry-points table) clears both remaining findings. The existing canonical summary #5571924627 remains the single authoritative summary for this PR.

NEEDS_WORK

Two findings remain open, both verified at the current head 424b469:

  1. MAJOR — the "Answer the transport question first" paragraph still recommends installMockFetch as "the most likely answer for AI Studio and Vertex", which is factually wrong and contradicts the characterization suites it cites. installMockFetch patches only globalThis.fetch (test/utils/mockFetch.ts), so it cannot reach Bedrock's AWS-SDK transport; and the three characterization suites point these providers at a local server via credentials.googleAiStudio.baseURL / credentials.vertex.baseURL (Express Mode) / AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_BEDROCK_RUNTIME, not installMockFetch. The zero requests reached the stand-in assertion is therefore unimplementable as written on Bedrock. (Line 155-162.)
  2. MINOR — the "Entry points to change" table's Vertex row still names only the Gemini-3 paths (:6635 / :1175, :6575); the Anthropic-on-Vertex branches (executeNativeAnthropicGenerate:6834 / executeNativeAnthropicStream:1244) are omitted even though the Order section counts four loops. An implementer wrapping only the table's rows ships with Claude-on-Vertex still silently unwrapped. (Line 67.)

Inline rewrites are attached to both threads.

…uides and plans

Fixes the docs-accuracy review threads left open on merged PRs. Each claim
was re-checked against the code on this checkout before editing.

CLAUDE.md
- CI-skip section: GitHub skips the push and pull_request runs when the
  head commit holds a directive, so the required check stays Pending and
  blocks the merge. `Reject CI-Skip Directives` is only a backstop and its
  regex does not cover a skip-checks trailer. (T3814059894-1, #1365)
- Rule 15 allow list: the closed Grandfathered block is legacy debt without
  a per-file header and may shrink, never grow; same note beside the list in
  eslint.config.js. (T3818474525-allow-docs, #1378)
- Audit snippet: the && chain moves into an `if`, so a failing audit cannot
  end a `set -e` caller's shell before the worktree cleanup. Proven with a
  bash `set -e` control. (T4051898811-1, #1676)
- "Reading a CI result": incidents 1, 2 and 4 are the absence-of-signal
  mistake, 3 is its inverse. (T4042254379-intro-first-four, #1716)

Provider and reference docs
- openai.md and providers/index.md: gpt-5.4 context is 1.05M (mini and nano
  stay 400K), matching contextWindows.ts. (T4114160945 and T4114105048,
  #1824; one defect raised twice)
- deepseek.md: close the unbalanced backtick that leaked into the search
  index. (T4112589028-b, #1800)
- pareto-inference.md: no context window is published; 131,072 is a catalog
  fallback, not a floor or a vendor figure. (T4125607242, #1848)
- docs/index.md: count MCP servers consistently. (T4072651139, #1776)
- provider-selection.md: the Streaming row covers text-generation providers
  only; decision-only providers (four, not three) use decide().
  (T4115057665, #1820)
- README.md: drop the hand-kept tool-support counts and stop grouping
  LiteLLM with the zero-configuration local runtimes, since it needs a
  running proxy. (T4113418122-readme-count-stale-now, #1816; T4072651184,
  #1776)
- openai-compat-catalog.md: every catalog provider except Groq maps
  TimeoutError to NetworkError. (T3806464799, #1353)
- SAFETY-PRIMITIVES.md: only no-inline-secret-regex and
  provider-typed-errors still apply; SSRF, stream-span and isNeuroLink
  bypasses are review-only. (T3790049900-1, #1334)

Plans
- middleware plan: providers-mocked has no AI Studio section and is
  construction-only for Vertex and Bedrock; name the three real seams.
  (T3950529360#1, #1656)
- dead-code-purge plan: record that the removal shipped in the major
  v11.0.0 and that there is no replacement for the removed types.
  (PF-T3790294047, #1335)
- onboarding-playbook plan: repo-relative commands instead of machine-local
  paths, drop the uncommitted scratch spec links, "Every Tier 3+ provider"
  ends with a manifest (Tier 2 is declared in its catalog JSON), and the three misplaced closing fences are moved so
  the duplicate "Verification commands" H2s are gone.
  (T3790294048, T3790294049, T3790294054, #1335)

Tooling
- verify-provider-onboarding now requires addedInPR, filesTouched and
  manualTestStatus in a hand-written provider's manifest, as the manifests
  README already said. xor and perplexity-decider gain
  manualTestStatus "ci-mocked-only"; README lists "verified-live". New case
  in the provider-structure suite runs the real tool against a scratch
  manifests tree: red without the validator change, green with it.
  (T3790294060-a, #1335)
- test-search-index-reproducibility asserts git merge-file could run, so a
  missing git reports ENOENT instead of a merge conflict. (T4108958700-git-
  guard, #1794)

Regenerated: docs-site/static/search-index.json via the docs build; a second
build leaves it byte-identical.

Fixes from the review of this PR, found after it was opened:
- openai.md: GPT-6 (September 2026) is newer than GPT-5.4 (March 2026), so
  the guide no longer calls GPT-5.4 the newest or the latest.
- onboarding-playbook plan: the Tier 2 bullet described a hand-written catalog
  row and a descriptor row; a Tier 2 provider is one JSON file under
  src/lib/providers/catalog/, and the onboarding gate checks that file instead
  of a manifest.

Skipped or deferred:
- T3810290322+T3810299660 (a link from tiers/README.md back to its parent): not
  done. The first attempt added a bare README key to LINK_MAPPINGS in
  sync-docs.ts, which would have sent about 7,500 API-reference links to the
  provider-integration README instead of the API index. It was reverted; a fix
  needs a link rule scoped to provider-integration/tiers.
- PF-T3790294047 is only partly fixed: the outcome note is in the plan, but
  docs/MIGRATION.md still has no v11.0.0 entry.

perplexity-decider is marked ci-mocked-only, the
conservative value; its owner may upgrade it if the live probe counts. The
catalog description of pareto-inference still says "conservative floor";
that is catalog data, left alone to avoid a codegen change in a docs commit.

  LiteLLM with the zero-configuration local runtimes, since it needs a
  running proxy. (T4113418122-readme-count-stale-now, #1816; T4072651184,
  #1776)
- openai-compat-catalog.md: every catalog provider except Groq maps
  TimeoutError to NetworkError. (T3806464799, #1353)
- SAFETY-PRIMITIVES.md: only no-inline-secret-regex and
  provider-typed-errors still apply; SSRF, stream-span and isNeuroLink
  bypasses are review-only. (T3790049900-1, #1334)

Plans
- middleware plan: providers-mocked has no AI Studio section and is
  construction-only for Vertex and Bedrock; name the three real seams.
  (T3950529360#1, #1656)
- dead-code-purge plan: record that the removal shipped in the major
  v11.0.0 and that there is no replacement for the removed types.
  (PF-T3790294047, #1335)
- onboarding-playbook plan: repo-relative commands instead of machine-local
  paths, drop the uncommitted scratch spec links, "Every Tier 3+ provider"
  ends with a manifest (Tier 2 is declared in its catalog JSON), and the three misplaced closing fences are moved so
  the duplicate "Verification commands" H2s are gone.
  (T3790294048, T3790294049, T3790294054, #1335)

Tooling
- verify-provider-onboarding now requires addedInPR, filesTouched and
  manualTestStatus in a hand-written provider's manifest, as the manifests
  README already said. xor and perplexity-decider gain
  manualTestStatus "ci-mocked-only"; README lists "verified-live". New case
  in the provider-structure suite runs the real tool against a scratch
  manifests tree: red without the validator change, green with it.
  (T3790294060-a, #1335)
- test-search-index-reproducibility asserts git merge-file could run, so a
  missing git reports ENOENT instead of a merge conflict. (T4108958700-git-
  guard, #1794)

Regenerated: docs-site/static/search-index.json via the docs build; a second
build leaves it byte-identical.

Fixes from the review of this PR, found after it was opened:
- openai.md: GPT-6 (September 2026) is newer than GPT-5.4 (March 2026), so
  the guide no longer calls GPT-5.4 the newest or the latest.
- CLAUDE.md: the CI-skip paragraph still blamed the %s-only format check for
  the bypass, which contradicted the sentence before it. GitHub skips the whole
  workflow before any step runs, so the paragraph now says the format check is
  not the cause.
- onboarding-playbook plan: the Tier 2 bullet described a hand-written catalog
  row and a descriptor row; a Tier 2 provider is one JSON file under
  src/lib/providers/catalog/, and the onboarding gate checks that file instead
  of a manifest.

Skipped or deferred:
- T3810290322+T3810299660 (a link from tiers/README.md back to its parent): not
  done. The first attempt added a bare README key to LINK_MAPPINGS in
  sync-docs.ts, which would have sent about 7,500 API-reference links to the
  provider-integration README instead of the API index. It was reverted; a fix
  needs a link rule scoped to provider-integration/tiers.
- PF-T3790294047 is only partly fixed: the outcome note is in the plan, but
  docs/MIGRATION.md still has no v11.0.0 entry.

perplexity-decider is marked ci-mocked-only, the
conservative value; its owner may upgrade it if the live probe counts. The
catalog description of pareto-inference still says "conservative floor";
that is catalog data, left alone to avoid a codegen change in a docs commit.
