chore: release v2.0.0

[Pratham-Mishra04]

Summary

This PR delivers the v2.0.0 stable release of Bifrost transports (first stable on the 2.0 line), core v1.8.0, framework v1.6.0, and coordinated plugin version bumps. It introduces batch job accounting and settlement, a comprehensive overhead latency measurement system, video edit operations, expanded provider support, a new routing plugin, and a dashboard notification center, alongside a large set of correctness fixes across providers, MCP, streaming, and cost accounting.

Changes

• Batch Accounting: batch_jobs table with lifecycle store API, runner-ID ownership fencing, idempotent aggregate log writes, catalog batch pricing (computeBatchTextCost with 0.5 default ratio), a background sweeper with capped jittered backoff, governance budget/rate-limit settlement via ReportBatchUsage charged exactly once per request ID, and Claude-on-Vertex batch support routing Anthropic families to publishers/anthropic/models/...
• Bifrost Overhead Latency: upstream_latency and overhead_latency on every log with per-phase overhead spans (queue-wait, convertor, request-marshal, response-parse, key-pool, etc.), lock-free stream overhead accumulators, overhead_breakdown persisted and rendered as a stacked bar in the log detail view, and bifrost_overhead_latency_microseconds histograms exported to Prometheus and OpenTelemetry
• Input/Output/Additional Cost Split: Denormalized input_cost, output_cost, and additional_cost columns on logs carried through matviews, ClickHouse, recalculation, and the quota API; semantic cache cost folded into additional cost
• Video Edits: POST /v1/videos/edits with BifrostVideoEditRequest, VideoEditInput, and VideoEditParameters for prompt-driven edits, upscaling, and background removal on OpenAI and Runware
• Routing Plugin: Routing rules engine and complexity router extracted from governance into a dedicated plugin running at priority 5; endpoints moved to /api/routing/rules and /api/routing/complexity-analyzer-config with deprecated /api/governance/* aliases; complexity routing now reads text from mixed-modality turns
• HTTP Transport Pre-Auth Hook: New HTTPTransportPreAuthHook phase runs before transport authentication; HTTPTransportPreHook now runs after auth. Plugins injecting credentials must move that work to the new hook
• Notification Center: Role-targeted dashboard notifications stored in the database, delivered over WebSocket, surfaced in a topbar tray
• Runware Expansion: Chat completions, streaming, Responses, ListModels, image upscale, image-to-3D, async 3D generation, provider-reported per-task cost, and a raw /runware_passthrough route
• OpenAI Ultrafast Service Tier: service_tier: "ultrafast" forwarded only to capable models and billed at dedicated rates
• Gemini 3 Thinking Levels: Per-model thinkingLevel support table with clampThinkingLevel snapping to the nearest rung; reasoning_effort: "none" sets the floor level instead of zeroing thinkingBudget
• Datasheet-Backed Compatibility: Anthropic, Bedrock, Cohere, and Gemini request shaping resolved through schemas.ResolveModelCaps instead of hardcoded model-name checks
• Structured Output Schema Order: response_format JSON schemas forwarded byte-for-byte so models generate fields in the caller's declared order
• MCP Lifecycle Fixes: SetClientTools replaces rather than merges the tool map, per-call shared-credential clients refresh tools synchronously on credential update, failed EnableClient dials park at Disabled, and the global tool_sync_interval hot-reloads and re-times running checkers
• Pricing Fields: Megapixel-tier image rates, per-size and joint size+quality image rates, input_cost_per_query for rerank, ultrafast service tier rates, and cost_per_request flat fee
• Typed Embeddings: EmbeddingData.EncodingFormat with int8, uint8, binary, ubinary, and base64 vectors; Bedrock Titan V2 and Cohere embedding_types on Converse and native invoke
• Rerank Upgrades: Structured JSON documents, return_documents, next_token, caller document IDs, Cohere-shaped errors, cross-provider response conversion, and /genai/v1/rank served cross-provider
• Hot-Path Performance: Cached MCP tool serialization, direct OrderedMap JSON writer, bulk span attribute writes with cached span pointers, reusable delivery timers, generation-stamped gencache memoization, and sonic-based JSON responses
• Legacy Attribute Removal: gen_ai.*-namespaced Bifrost-internal span attributes, nanosecond time_to_first_token, and x-bf-prom-* Prometheus dimensions removed from OTel and Prometheus connectors in favor of canonical bifrost.* keys
• Database: 7 configstore migrations (notifications table, batch jobs table, megapixel tier pricing, rerank query cost, ultrafast rates, image size+quality rates, batch attribution columns) and 6 logstore migrations (video edit input, upstream/overhead latency, batch debug, cost breakdown columns, matview rebuild, overhead breakdown), all additive and reversible

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

# Core/Transports
go version
go test ./...

# UI
cd ui
pnpm i || npm i
pnpm test || npm test
pnpm build || npm run build

Run logstore and configstore migrations during a low-activity window. Five of the six logstore migrations alter the logs table, and the hourly matview is rebuilt against the full table on first boot after upgrading.

Breaking changes

• Yes

HTTPTransportPreHook now runs after authentication. Plugins that inject a credential (x-bf-vk, Authorization, x-api-key) from HTTPTransportPreHook must move that work to the new HTTPTransportPreAuthHook. Go plugins implementing HTTPTransportPlugin must add the method (.so plugins that predate it are skipped for that phase).

Legacy telemetry attributes removed. Dashboards and alerts reading gen_ai.* Bifrost-internal attributes, gen_ai.usage.prompt_tokens/completion_tokens, the nanosecond time_to_first_token attribute, or x-bf-prom-* Prometheus dimensions must migrate to the bifrost.* keys and time_to_first_chunk.

Gemini tool preference reversed. A Gemini API request carrying both function declarations and Google Search without include_server_side_tool_invocations now keeps function declarations and drops Google Search (previously the opposite). Set include_server_side_tool_invocations: true to send both on Gemini 3 models. Vertex is unaffected.

Governance APIs moved. Routing rules and the complexity analyzer moved from /api/governance/* to /api/routing/rules and /api/routing/complexity-analyzer-config; the old paths remain as deprecated aliases.

Custom plugin SSRF protection. A plugin path pointing at an http(s) URL is rejected if it resolves to a loopback, private, CGNAT, or link-local address, and every custom plugin path is re-verified on each restart.

See the v2.0.0 migration guide for full details.

Security considerations

• Custom plugin path values pointing at http(s) URLs are SSRF-protected: loopback, private, CGNAT, and link-local addresses are rejected and re-verified on each restart.
• Custom plugin create and update require admin authentication when dashboard auth is configured.
• Authorization, x-api-key, Cloudflare Access (cf-access-*), and AWS ALB OIDC (x-amzn-oidc-*) headers are redacted before export to every observability backend.
• DAC-scoped virtual key reads are blocked for from_memory callers.
• The first-time setup token gates fresh deployments so they are not open to the world before configuration.
• An allowlist for private-use redirect URI schemes (RFC 8252 §7.1) hardens the OAuth2 flow.

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

ensureMatViews may replace the previous mv_logs_hourly definition during a later

core v1.8.0 and framework v1.6.0, matching the coordinated release. The
release-note sites plugins/compat/changelog.md:4 and
plugins/governance/changelog.md:5 require no direct change because they already
state those versions.

In `@transports/changelog.md`:
- Around line 1-3: Update the v2.0.0 changelog note to align with the migration
guidance: either limit the upgrade claim to the release-note delta or explicitly
state that migrations require v1.6.11 as the prerequisite, with older v1.6.x
releases following intermediate changelogs.
