chore: inherit semantic cache embedding keys from bifrost.providers and drop keys field from semantic cache config across Helm charts, values, and docs

[BearTS]

Summary

The semantic cache plugin's embedding provider API keys are now inherited from bifrost.providers instead of being configured directly inside the plugin's config block. This removes the redundant keys field from the semantic cache config and aligns key management with the rest of the Bifrost provider configuration pattern.

Changes

• Removed the keys field from semanticCache.config in the Helm chart schema, values, helpers, and all example overlays. The embedding provider's API key must now be configured under bifrost.providers and is inherited automatically by the plugin.
• Updated the validation error message in _helpers.tpl to reflect that keys are no longer configured in the plugin block.
• Added concrete bifrost.providers.openai blocks to all semantic cache example overlays (sqlite-redis, sqlite-qdrant, sqlite-weaviate, postgres-redis, postgres-qdrant, postgres-weaviate, production-ha) showing how to wire the Kubernetes secret into the provider via env.SEMANTIC_CACHE_API_KEY.
• Added a Helm tab to the semantic caching documentation with a full working example and a note explaining the key inheritance model.
• Removed the deprecated disable_auth_on_inference field from several example configs and moved auth_config into the governance block where it belongs in withconfigstore/config.json.
• Renamed credentials to credentials_json in the GCS object storage example config.
• Changed the default trace_type in the OTel example config from otel to genai_extension.
• Replaced the deprecated enforceGovernanceHeader / enforceSCIMAuth fields with enforceAuthOnInference in the client config examples.
• Removed azure_key_config.api_version and azure_key_config.deployments from Azure provider examples, replacing deployments with the aliases field and noting that the Azure v1 API requires no api_version.

Type of change

• Bug fix
• Feature
• Refactor
• Documentation
• Chore/CI

Affected areas

• Core (Go)
• Transports (HTTP)
• Providers/Integrations
• Plugins
• UI (React)
• Docs

How to test

1. Deploy any of the updated example overlays (e.g. sqlite-redis.yaml) and confirm the semantic cache initialises correctly using the provider key defined under bifrost.providers.
2. Confirm that omitting bifrost.plugins.semanticCache.config.provider (with dimension != 1) still produces the updated validation error message.
3. Confirm that passing a keys field inside semanticCache.config no longer has any effect and does not cause a schema validation error.

helm template bifrost ./helm-charts/bifrost -f helm-charts/bifrost/values-examples/sqlite-redis.yaml | grep -A5 semanticCache

Breaking changes

• Yes
• No

The keys field inside bifrost.plugins.semanticCache.config is removed. Any existing values files that set semanticCache.config.keys must be migrated: move the API key to bifrost.providers.<provider>.keys and reference it via an environment variable (e.g. env.SEMANTIC_CACHE_API_KEY). The secretRef mechanism for injecting the key into the environment remains unchanged.

Security considerations

Embedding provider API keys are no longer accepted as a plain list inside the plugin config block, reducing the surface area for accidentally committing keys in values files. Keys must flow through bifrost.providers, which already supports env.* references and Kubernetes secret injection via secretRef.

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

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation

  • Added Helm guidance for semantic caching, embedding providers, cache settings, vector stores, telemetry metrics, and guardrails.
  • Updated examples and configuration instructions for current authentication, Azure, OpenTelemetry, object storage, and provider formats.

• Configuration Updates

  • Semantic caching now inherits provider credentials from shared provider settings.
  • Updated examples to use secret-based OpenAI embedding configuration.
  • Added logs-store PostgreSQL and PostgreSQL pod scheduling options.
  • Removed obsolete semantic-cache keys, deployment mappings, and deprecated authentication settings.

Walkthrough

The PR updates Helm semantic cache configuration and examples. It removes local semantic cache keys and inherits provider credentials. It also updates authentication, Azure, GCS, OpenTelemetry, telemetry, guardrails, storage, and PostgreSQL examples.

Changes

Helm and configuration alignment

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Semantic cache contract and examples helm-charts/bifrost/values.yaml, helm-charts/bifrost/values.schema.json, helm-charts/bifrost/templates/_helpers.tpl, docs/features/semantic-caching.mdx, helm-charts/bifrost/values-examples/*	Semantic cache configuration removes local keys, inherits credentials from bifrost.providers, and adds OpenAI embedding-provider examples using SEMANTIC_CACHE_API_KEY and text-embedding-3-small.
Helm schema and documented configuration helm-charts/bifrost/values.schema.json, helm-charts/bifrost/values.yaml	The chart adds telemetry metrics, logs-store PostgreSQL, and PostgreSQL scheduling settings. It updates guardrails and provider examples and removes obsolete deployment mappings.
Authentication and provider examples examples/configs/*, examples/k8s/examples/*, helm-charts/bifrost/values-examples/providers-and-virtual-keys.yaml	Examples remove obsolete authentication fields and update authentication enforcement, Azure v1 settings, Azure aliases, GCS credentials, and OpenTelemetry trace types.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2a145

The chart removes semanticCache.config.keys, but legacy values can still pass validation while their embedding credentials are ignored, potentially leaving semantic caching unable to initialize. Provider configuration documentation also remains inaccurate, so the PR should address these bounded correctness and documentation issues before merge.

Correct the provider pass-through description.

The chart does not pass bifrost.providers through “as-is.” The helper normalizes provider keys and rebuilds network_config from supported fields. Update this comment to describe the rendering and normalization behavior.

Proposed wording

-  # Provider configurations (add your provider keys here). Passed through to config.json as-is.
+  # Provider configurations (add your provider keys here). Rendered into config.json;
+  # provider keys and network_config are normalized by the chart.

As per path instructions, the review must “always check the stack” and must not be localized; this finding uses helm-charts/bifrost/templates/_helpers.tpl:463-539.

Reject the removed semanticCache.config.keys field.

semanticCache.config permits unknown properties, but the template does not read or render config.keys. Existing values that store credentials only in this field pass schema validation and are silently discarded when semantic caching is enabled. Add a not rule for keys, or close the object after confirming all supported fields are declared.

Require enabled before applying PostgreSQL connection requirements.

When storage.logsStore.postgres is {}, the if condition matches because enabled is absent. The schema then requires the PostgreSQL connection fields.

Add "required": ["enabled"] to the if condition.
