fix: return informative message when model list is disabled for provider

[gokul-scalent]

fix: respect list_models disabled setting in /v1/models fan-out

Summary

When a provider had list_models disabled via AllowedRequests, the GET /v1/models endpoint would still fan out to that provider and include its models in the response (or return an error). Two separate code paths were affected:

1. Fan-out (no provider specified) — GetConfiguredProviders() returned all providers regardless of their AllowedRequests config, causing disabled providers to be included in the aggregate model list.
2. Single-provider query — GET /v1/models?provider=<name> did not check AllowedRequests before making the request, resulting in an unsupported_operation error being surfaced to the caller.

Changes

• bifrost.go — GetConfiguredProviders() now filters out providers where list_models is explicitly disabled in their CustomProviderConfig.AllowedRequests. Providers with no AllowedRequests config (i.e. all operations allowed) are unaffected.
• models.go — Added an optional message field to BifrostListModelsResponse to convey informational messages (e.g. disabled notice) without breaking the response shape.
• inference.go — Added a pre-flight check in listModels: if a specific provider is requested and its list_models is disabled, return an empty model list with a human-readable message ("The model_list request is disabled for this provider.") instead of forwarding the request.
• bifrost_test.go and inference_list_models_test.go — Added unit tests covering both fan-out filtering and single-provider disabled behavior.

Type of change

• Bug fix

Affected areas

• Core (Go)
• Transports (HTTP)

How to test

Describe the steps to validate this change. Include commands and expected outcomes.

Screenshots/Recordings

Previously, requests to providers with model_list disabled resulted in error logs. This change ensures those providers are excluded from model_list fan-out, eliminating the unnecessary errors.

Breaking changes

• No

If yes, describe impact and migration instructions.

Checklist

• I read docs/contributing/README.md and followed the guidelines
• I added/updated tests where appropriate
• I updated documentation where needed
• I verified builds succeed (Go and UI)
• I verified the CI pipeline passes locally if applicable

Apply the unsupported-operation fallback in listModels.

shouldReturnEmptyListModelsResponse is not called by the listModels error path. An upstream unsupported_operation error for ListModelsRequest still returns SendBifrostError instead of the required empty model list.

• transports/bifrost-http/handlers/inference.go#L819-L824: call this helper before forwarding bifrostErr, then send buildDisabledListModelsResponse() with the existing large-response handling.
• transports/bifrost-http/handlers/inference_list_models_test.go#L10-L40: add a handler-level test that verifies an unsupported_operation provider error produces the empty response and message.

Proposed handler change

 if bifrostErr != nil {
+	if shouldReturnEmptyListModelsResponse(bifrostErr) {
+		if streamLargeResponseIfActive(ctx, bifrostCtx) {
+			return
+		}
+		SendJSON(ctx, buildDisabledListModelsResponse())
+		return
+	}
 	forwardProviderHeadersFromContext(ctx, bifrostCtx)
 	SendBifrostError(ctx, bifrostErr)
 	return
 }

Add the bracket-form video keys to videoEditParamsKnownFields.

parseVideoEditMultipartForm consumes video[url] and video[id] (Lines 2953-2964), but this map only lists video_url and video_id. A multipart request that uses the bracket form is therefore also copied into ExtraParams at Lines 2877-2881. The source reference is then forwarded twice: once as the request input and once as an unknown provider parameter.

Add table-driven tests for the video-edit request preparation.

resolveVideoEditProvider implements a four-level precedence: model prefix, provider query parameter, x-model-provider header, then video-ID suffix. prepareVideoEditRequest also branches on multipart against JSON. Neither path has a test in this cohort. A table-driven test over the precedence order and over both body formats protects this behavior against later edits.

As per coding guidelines: "table-driven coverage for behavior changes".
