Context

Replaces closed PR #30153 (v0). Sidd pushed back on the data-driven providers premise: providers need code anyway because of edge cases (OpenRouter-style "almost-OpenAI" providers force code changes regardless of how thin the schema looks). v1 pivots to an auth-first refactor: one SQLite table that names (provider, auth-config) tuples, with provider implementations staying in code.

Design doc was reviewed and approved by Sidd before this PR.

Scope (this PR)

This is PR-1 of a series. Purely additive — runtime routing is unchanged.

What ships now:

  1. provider_connections SQLite table (migration 243-provider-connections.ts). Columns: name PK, provider, auth JSON, timestamps.
  2. Profile schema gains optional provider_connection: string.
  3. Boot-time idempotent backfill that walks llm.profiles.*, infers connections from services.inference.mode, creates rows, rewrites profiles. Seeds canonical connections (anthropic-managed, openai-managed, gemini-managed, ollama-local) on every boot.
  4. CRUD layer (createConnection, updateConnection, deleteConnection) with cache invalidation hooks into the new per-connection adapter cache.
  5. CLI: assistant inference providers connections {list,get,create,update,delete}.
  6. Auth resolver (resolveAuth) + adapter factory (createAdapterFromConnection) + connection→provider resolver (resolveProviderFromConnection). All wired internally; not yet called by the dispatch path — that's PR-2.

Goals locked across the series:

  1. Support more auth methods over time. v1: api_key, platform, none. Schema accommodates oauth_subscription, service_account for later (rejected at runtime).
  2. Mix-and-match managed vs your-own simultaneously, per profile. Same anthropic key + a managed anthropic profile + a your-own anthropic profile, all coexisting. (Wired in PR-2.)
  3. Decouple provider impls from hardcoded credential name lookups. Adapters become pure: (ResolvedAuth, request) → response. (Adapter factory ships here; dispatcher refactor in PR-2.)

Out of scope (deferred to follow-up PRs)

  • PR-2: dispatcher refactor. Wire resolveProviderFromConnection into getConfiguredProvider so profiles with provider_connection route through the new path. Until then, provider_connections rows + the new backfill are inert at runtime — they exist on disk but nothing reads them.
  • model_profiles table — Sidd flagged "arbitrary cut" of normalized fields.
  • rate_cards table — Sidd flagged shape gaps (Anthropic 5m vs 1h cache, OpenAI/Google input-length tiers).
  • Provider-scoped model picklists.
  • Subscription / service-account auth runtime. Schema accommodates the variants; resolvers come later.
  • Settings UI for connections. CLI-only in v1.

Verification

  • bun test src/providers/__tests__/inference.test.ts src/__tests__/credential-security-invariants.test.ts src/cli/commands/__tests__/inference-send.test.ts src/memory/v2/__tests__/backfill-jobs.test.ts → 82/82 pass after cycle-1 fix
  • bunx tsc --noEmit → clean (assistant + gateway)
  • bun run lint → clean (assistant + gateway)

Cycle 1 fixes (commit ad56f8155)

Addresses Codex (3 P1) + Devin (3 surfaced) review:

Finding Fix
CI Test fail: resolve-auth.ts not allowlisted in credential-security-invariants Allowlist entry added — same trust boundary as registry.ts (existing entry)
CI Test fail: getConfig/saveRawConfig mock missing in two tests Test mocks expanded; inference-connections.ts switched to getConfigReadOnly (correct for read-only delete-reference lookup)
Codex P1: backfill conflates profile.source (ownership) with services.inference.mode (auth) Backfill routes on mode only. Comment in code explains the two axes.
Codex P1 + Devin 🔴: new CLI commands not in gateway risk registry 6 paths added to gateway/src/risk/command-registry/commands/assistant.ts with risk overrides (list/get low; create/update/delete medium)
Codex P1: resolver not wired into dispatch Acknowledged. Out of scope for PR-1, deferred to PR-2. PR description was overpromising; this is the real cut.
Devin 🚩: clearConnectionProviderCache orphan + cache won't invalidate on CRUD Wired into all three CRUD paths in connections.ts. The orphan resolves itself.

Diff

15 files this PR + 7 files cycle-1 fix = 16 files net (some overlap), +1586/-17.

Migration safety

  • Schema migration uses the standard idempotency check (SELECT 1 FROM sqlite_master).
  • Backfill is idempotent (system flag prevents re-run).
  • services.inference.mode reads still honored for one release with a deprecation warning.
  • Runtime routing unchanged from origin/main: PR-2 is the change-of-behavior PR.

Notes for review

  • Sidd: confirming this is not the providers-as-data premise you killed. provider_connections rows describe auth-config instances, not provider definitions. Provider impls stay in code (closed set).
  • Connection naming convention (<provider>-<modifier>) is suggested in CLI help but not enforced.

Creates the provider_connections SQLite table with an index on provider.
Seeds four canonical connections on every boot (INSERT OR IGNORE):
  anthropic-managed  auth={type:platform}
  openai-managed     auth={type:platform}
  gemini-managed     auth={type:platform}
  ollama-local       auth={type:none}

Wires migration 243 into db-init.ts.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds providerConnections Drizzle table definition mirroring the SQL schema
from migration 243.

Adds AuthSchema discriminated union (api_key | platform | none for v1;
oauth_subscription | service_account accepted by schema but runtime-rejected
for v2). Adds ProviderConnection + ResolvedAuth types.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Implements listConnections, getConnection, createConnection, updateConnection,
deleteConnection on top of the providerConnections Drizzle schema.

createConnection validates the provider against the code-defined enum and
parses auth through AuthSchema. deleteConnection rejects when profiles
reference the connection (overrideable with force).

seedCanonicalConnections ensures the four canonical connections exist;
safe to call on every boot (idempotent via presence check).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
ProfileEntry gains an optional provider_connection field. When set, the
dispatcher resolves auth from the named connection instead of the global
services.inference.mode toggle. Existing provider + source fields remain
as deprecated-optional fallbacks so un-backfilled profiles still load.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
resolve-auth.ts: resolves an Auth config to a ResolvedAuth for a given
provider. api_key reads from the credential vault; platform builds the
managed proxy URL and fetches the platform API key; none passes through
with no headers. oauth_subscription and service_account return a clear
'not_implemented (v2)' error.

adapter-factory.ts: createAdapterFromConnection creates a Provider adapter
from a ProviderConnection + ResolvedAuth. Adapters are pure functions of
(resolved auth, request) — no vault access inside the adapter.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds resolveProviderFromConnection(connection, config) to registry.ts.
Results are cached in connectionProviders (per-init-providers lifetime)
to avoid redundant vault reads. Cache is cleared by initializeProviders.

The existing global provider registry is preserved for backward compat:
profiles without provider_connection still use services.inference.mode
routing. Profiles with provider_connection use the new per-connection path,
enabling mix-and-match (managed + your-own simultaneously per profile).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
runProviderConnectionsBackfill runs on every boot (idempotent):
  1. Seeds canonical connections.
  2. Walks llm.profiles.* in config.json; for each profile without
     provider_connection, derives one from source + provider:
       source=managed + managed provider  → <provider>-managed
       source=your-own (or default)       → <provider>-personal
                                            (creates connection if missing,
                                             auth=api_key referencing
                                             credential/<provider>/api_key)
       provider=ollama                    → ollama-local

Vault credential name for your-own connections follows the existing
credentialKey(provider, 'api_key') convention (Open Question §10.1 answer).

Errors are caught and logged; backfill will retry on next boot.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds 'assistant inference connections' subcommand group with:
  list    [--json] [--provider <p>]
  get     <name> [--json]
  create  <name> --provider <p> --auth <type> [--credential <vault-key>] [--json]
  update  <name> --auth <type> [--credential <vault-key>] [--json]
  delete  <name> [--force] [--json]

Validation mirrors design §8.2: api_key requires --credential; platform
and none reject --credential; delete rejects when profiles reference the
connection (--force bypasses). All commands support --json output.

Tests cover:
  - Migration creates table and seeds canonical connections (idempotency)
  - Connection CRUD: create (happy path, dup name, invalid provider),
    get (not found), list (provider filter), update, delete (with/without
    --force, reference enforcement)
  - AuthSchema: all variants parse correctly; api_key requires credential
  - Mix-and-match: two connections for the same provider (anthropic-managed +
    anthropic-personal) are distinct and carry different auth configs

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ections

- Rewrote inference.test.ts to use in-memory SQLite (new Database(":memory:") +
  drizzle()) instead of the global initializeDb() singleton, matching the
  bookmark-crud.test.ts isolation pattern
- Fixed duplicate getLogger import in registry.ts
- Added ConnectionProviderSchema validation on DB read in listConnections and
  getConnection so provider field types as the literal union (not string)
- Refactored updateConnection to call getConnection() instead of raw select,
  eliminating the provider string → ConnectionProvider type mismatch
- Added narrowing guard before result.error.count assertion in test
- Fixed import sort order violations (eslint --fix)

🔴 New inference connections CLI commands not registered in gateway bash risk registry

The assistant/src/cli/AGENTS.md rule states: "When adding/removing/renaming assistant CLI commands or subcommands, update the gateway bash risk registry coverage in gateway/src/risk/command-registry/commands/assistant.ts (supported command paths + risk overrides) so permission prompts stay correct." The PR adds 6 new command paths (inference connections, inference connections list, inference connections get, inference connections create, inference connections update, inference connections delete) but none are registered in gateway/src/risk/command-registry/commands/assistant.ts. The existing inference, inference send, and inference session * paths are registered there (lines 130–135), but the new connections subtree is missing. This means the guardian/risk system won't recognize these commands, leading to incorrect permission prompts when the assistant tries to run them.

Prompt for agents
The new inference connections CLI commands must be added to the gateway bash risk registry at gateway/src/risk/command-registry/commands/assistant.ts. Add the following command paths to the supported commands array (near lines 130-135 where other inference paths are listed): "inference connections", "inference connections list", "inference connections get", "inference connections create", "inference connections update", "inference connections delete". Also add risk overrides: list and get are read-only (low risk), create/update/delete modify state (medium risk). Follow the existing patterns for inference session commands at lines 407-421.

🚩 clearConnectionProviderCache is exported but never called

The function clearConnectionProviderCache at assistant/src/providers/registry.ts:336-338 is exported but never imported or called anywhere in the codebase. The cache it would clear (connectionProviders) is already cleared inline at assistant/src/providers/registry.ts:145 inside initializeProviders(). This appears to be dead code added preemptively for future callers. Per the project's "Dead Code Removal" rule in AGENTS.md, unused code should not be committed — but since this is a new public API being introduced alongside a new feature, it could be argued as intentional forward-looking API surface. Worth a reviewer decision.

🚩 Connection provider cache won't invalidate on CRUD updates

The connectionProviders cache at assistant/src/providers/registry.ts:32 is populated by resolveProviderFromConnection (line 290-291) and only cleared when initializeProviders runs (line 145). If a connection's auth is updated or the connection is deleted via the CLI CRUD commands, the cached provider instance will continue serving the old auth configuration until the next daemon boot. Currently resolveProviderFromConnection has no callers, so this is not an active bug, but once it's wired into the dispatch path, stale cache entries will cause updated connections to silently use old credentials.

P1 Badge Derive auth source from global mode, not profile ownership

runProviderConnectionsBackfill() reads profile.source to decide between managed and personal connections, but this field is profile ownership metadata (managed/user), not legacy inference auth mode. In managed environments, user-owned profiles (source: "user") will be backfilled to ${provider}-personal and start requiring local API keys, which is a behavior regression from the prior global services.inference.mode routing.

P1 Badge Wire provider_connection resolver into dispatch path

This resolver is added but never used by provider selection, while inference dispatch still resolves providers by name through the legacy registry path. Because there are no callers of resolveProviderFromConnection, provider_connection rows and the new backfill do not actually influence runtime routing, so mix-and-match auth per profile is not functional.

P1 Badge Register new inference connections commands in risk registry

Adding assistant inference connections here without updating gateway/src/risk/command-registry/commands/assistant.ts violates assistant/src/cli/AGENTS.md and leaves the new paths unmodeled. The bash risk classifier falls back to the parent command risk when a subcommand is unknown, so mutating operations like create, update, and delete can be under-classified in permission prompts.

CI: 3 test files green again. Mechanical fixes for Codex P1 + Devin
findings. Dispatcher wiring (Codex P1 #2) deferred to PR-2; this PR is
purely additive (schema + backfill + CRUD).

- credential-security-invariants: allowlist resolve-auth.ts (mirrors
  registry.ts trust boundary; api_key path reads vault to inject bearer
  token, same as existing per-provider clients did).
- inference-send.test + backfill-jobs.test: expand config/loader.ts
  mocks to cover getConfig/getConfigReadOnly/loadRawConfig/saveRawConfig.
  My new code paths now reach previously-unmocked exports.
- inference-connections.ts: getConfig -> getConfigReadOnly for the
  delete-references lookup. Display-side path; read-only is correct.
- backfill.ts: route on services.inference.mode (auth axis) only. Drop
  profile.source conflation. profile.source is ownership metadata
  (managed/user, system-vs-user-created), not legacy auth mode. The
  prior code regressed user-owned profiles in managed deployments to
  require local API keys.
- gateway risk registry: add 6 paths (inference connections + 5
  subcommands) with risk overrides. list/get low (read-only),
  create/update/delete medium. Resolves AGENTS.md violation.
- connections.ts CRUD: clearConnectionProviderCache() after every
  insert/update/delete. Resolves Devin orphan-export + cache-staleness
  findings together.

Tests: 82/82 across credential-security-invariants, inference-send,
backfill-jobs, providers/inference. tsc + lint clean on assistant +

Cycle 1 fix push — commit ad56f8155

What changed

CI fixes (3 test files):

  • credential-security-invariantsproviders/inference/resolve-auth.ts added to allowlist (same trust boundary as registry.ts; api_key path reads vault to inject bearer token, mirrors existing per-provider clients)
  • inference-send.test + backfill-jobs.test — mocks expanded to cover getConfig, getConfigReadOnly, loadRawConfig, saveRawConfig. New code paths reach previously-unmocked exports.
  • inference-connections.ts:333getConfiggetConfigReadOnly (read-only delete-references lookup; correct intent)

Codex P1 #1 — backfill source semantics: Confirmed real. profile.source is managed/user (ownership: system-vs-user-created), not auth mode. Backfill now routes purely on services.inference.mode. Code comment added explaining the two axes.

Codex P1 #3 + Devin 🔴 — risk registry: 6 paths added to gateway/src/risk/command-registry/commands/assistant.ts (inference connections + 5 subcommands). Risk overrides: list/get low (read-only), create/update/delete medium (mutating).

Devin 🚩 (orphan + stale cache): Wired clearConnectionProviderCache() into createConnection, updateConnection, deleteConnection (3 sites). Solves both findings.

Codex P1 #2 — resolver not wired into dispatch: Acknowledged. Deferred to PR-2. This PR was overpromising in the original description (it claimed a "Dispatcher refactor" that wasn't implemented). PR description has been rewritten to honestly reflect scope: this PR is purely additive (schema + backfill + CRUD + new resolver internals); runtime routing is unchanged from origin/main. PR-2 will wire resolveProviderFromConnection into getConfiguredProvider.

Verification

  • 82/82 tests pass across the 4 affected files (run together, not separately)
  • bunx tsc --noEmit clean (assistant + gateway)
  • bun run lint clean (assistant + gateway)

P1 Badge Apply platform defaults before inferring backfill auth mode

This backfill reads services.inference.mode from loadRawConfig() and defaults missing values to "your-own", but platform deployments often rely on loadConfig()'s IS_PLATFORM context defaults to treat missing mode as managed. In that environment, profiles with no explicit mode on disk will be backfilled to *-personal connections and persisted that way, which bakes incorrect auth routing into config for later connection-based dispatch. The mode inference here should use the same effective config semantics as runtime (including deployment defaults) before deciding managed vs personal connections.

P2 Badge Reject stray credential flag for non-key auth updates

The update command accepts --credential for all auth types but only enforces it for api_key; when --auth platform or --auth none is used, any provided credential is silently ignored. This makes typos and automation mistakes dangerous (for example, intending api_key but passing platform) because the command reports success while discarding the credential input and changing auth mode. Mirror the create command's validation by erroring when --credential is supplied with non-key auth types.

…g/applyNestedDefaults

Cycle 2: cycle-1 fix push surfaced two regressions in inference-send.test.ts.

Root cause: my cycle-1 fix-6 added clearConnectionProviderCache import
from registry.ts to connections.ts. registry.ts pulls in a chain that
calls loadConfig() at module-init time, which inference-send.test.ts's
narrower mock didn't expose. (Standalone bun test invocations don't
share mock state across files, so the test passed in batched runs but
failed in CI's per-file invocation.)

Fix:
- Add loadConfig + applyNestedDefaults to the mock so the import chain
  resolves cleanly under all invocation patterns.
- Restore the lazy-factory pattern for the profile-config getters: the
  cycle-1 attempt captured stubProfileConfig in a const, breaking the
  test that reassigns mockProfileCatalog = {} mid-suite (it expected
  the next config getter call to see the empty profiles).

Tests: all 4 affected files pass standalone (credential-security-invariants
32/32, inference-send 20/20, backfill-jobs 10/10, providers/inference 20/20).
tsc + lint clean.
…m default + reject stray credential on update

- backfill.ts: lift mode resolution above the per-profile loop and apply
  the IS_PLATFORM=true → managed default when services.inference.mode is
  absent on disk. Mirrors getDeploymentContextDefaults() so platform
  deployments without an explicit mode-on-disk no longer backfill every
  profile to a *-personal connection. (Codex P1 — cycle-1)

- inference-connections.ts: in 'inference connections update', reject
  --credential when --auth platform or --auth none is supplied. Mirrors
  create-command validation; previously the credential was silently
  ignored, masking typos like '--auth platform --credential ...'.

Cycle 2 fix push — commit e389079f7

Cycle 1 commit was ad56f8155; commit 6319f6a4d was a follow-up fix for an isolated test-mock regression, not a review-findings cycle.

What changed

Codex P1 (backfill.ts:64) — apply platform-context default:
The backfill was reading raw.services.inference.mode directly with a plain ?? "your-own" fallback. On platform-managed daemons the file may omit that key entirely and rely on getDeploymentContextDefaults() (driven by IS_PLATFORM=true) to fill it at runtime. With the old code, those profiles would have been backfilled to *-personal connections and that incorrect routing would have been baked into config.json for later connection-based dispatch.

Fix: lift mode resolution above the per-profile loop and mirror the IS_PLATFORM default — when the on-disk mode is absent, treat as "managed" if IS_PLATFORM is set, else "your-own". Explicit on-disk values still win. Same semantics as the runtime loader.

Codex P2 (inference-connections.ts:265) — reject stray credential on update:
The update subcommand accepted --credential for every --auth value but only enforced it for api_key. With --auth platform or --auth none, a stray credential was silently dropped — making --auth platform --credential ... typos look successful while quietly switching the connection off api-key auth.

Fix: mirror the create subcommand's validation — error with --credential is not accepted with --auth platform (or none) before constructing authInput. Same JSON / log-error split, same exit code 1.

Still deferred to PR-2 (unchanged)

Codex P1 #2 (resolver not wired into dispatch) is intentionally out of scope for this PR per the rewritten description — extending the LLM call-site schema with a provider_connection field and routing dispatch through it is the dispatcher's job. PR-2 will land that wiring + an end-to-end mix-and-match dispatch test together.

Comment thread assistant/src/memory/db-init.ts Outdated
Comment thread assistant/src/providers/inference/backfill.ts
credence-the-bot[bot] added 2 commits May 10, 2026 15:05
Per review feedback: db-init is for schema/migrations/system rows; the
provider_connections backfill is application-level seeding alongside
seedOAuthProviders. Move it accordingly so future readers don't have
to wonder why one seed lives in db-init and the other in lifecycle.

- assistant/src/memory/db-init.ts: drop the call + import
- assistant/src/daemon/lifecycle.ts: invoke runProviderConnectionsBackfill
  immediately after seedOAuthProviders, behind the same dbReady gate and
  try/catch shape ('warn + continue startup')
- assistant/src/providers/inference/backfill.ts: tighten JSDoc to make
  every-boot idempotent semantics explicit (both seed + walk are cheap
  and self-healing — see review thread)

Behavior unchanged.
…nections

Per Noa's request: nest the connection-management CLI under a 'providers'
namespace so 'inference providers' becomes the home for future
provider-scoped admin commands (capabilities, picklists, etc.) alongside
'connections'.

- Rename file: inference-connections.ts → inference-providers.ts
- Rename function: attachConnectionsSubcommand → attachProvidersSubcommand
- Restructure: the function now creates an 'inference providers' parent
  command and attaches 'connections' to it. All five verbs (list, get,
  create, update, delete) keep their existing implementations.
- Update import + call site in inference.ts.
- Update gateway risk-registry: path list + per-command risk overrides
  now use 'inference providers connections <verb>'.
- Update inline help-text examples to the new path.

No behavior change beyond the path shift.

Pushed two follow-ups (head: 57880417e):

  • dce1215b8 — moved runProviderConnectionsBackfill from db-init.tslifecycle.ts (mirrors seedOAuthProviders placement, same dbReady gate + try/catch). JSDoc tightened to document every-boot idempotent semantics.
  • 57880417e — CLI rename: assistant inference connections ...assistant inference providers connections .... The inference providers namespace is now the home for future provider-scoped admin commands; connections hangs off it.

Local: typecheck ✅, lint ✅, provider tests ✅ (20/20), command-registry ✅ (50/50).

P1 Badge Integrate provider_connection resolver into inference path

The new per-connection resolver is never invoked, so provider_connection settings currently have no runtime effect. Inference still goes through the legacy provider-name registry path (resolveCallSiteConfig(...).providergetProvider(...)), and a repo-wide check shows no call site for resolveProviderFromConnection. This means assistant inference providers connections create/update/delete and the backfilled llm.profiles.*.provider_connection field do not actually control auth routing, so mixed auth setups (e.g., managed + personal for the same provider) cannot work in production yet.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Confirmed and intentional. Scope split:

  • This PR (feat(inference): provider connections — auth-first refactor #30162) — scaffold: schema, CRUD, CLI, backfill, resolver function. resolveProviderFromConnection ships as zero-call-site dead code by design — it's the destination for the dispatch wiring.
  • Cycle-3 follow-up — wiring: thread profile → provider_connection → resolved auth → bound provider through the canonical dispatch path (provider-send-message.ts) and the five satellite sites (rollup-producer, subagent/manager, conversation-store, approval-generators, guardian-action-generators). Includes a real E2E test that exercises two profiles with same provider but different provider_connection through dispatch and asserts the bound auth differs.

Until the wiring PR lands, profile.provider_connection is a dormant field — created/listed by the CLI, written by the backfill, read by no production code path. Acknowledged in updated PR description.

Cycle-3 review triage — 57880417e

@noanflaherty heads-up: Codex + Devin re-posted on 57880417e after your cycle-3 push. None of the cycle-3 findings warrant a code change — summary below.

Codex P1 — "Wire provider_connection resolver into dispatch path"

Out of scope. Deferred to PR-2 by design.

The PR description explicitly carves this out:

PR-2: dispatcher refactor. Wire resolveProviderFromConnection into getConfiguredProvider so profiles with provider_connection route through the new path. Until then, provider_connections rows + the new backfill are inert at runtime — they exist on disk but nothing reads them.

Codex doesn't read PR descriptions, so it's flagging the dead-code shape correctly but missing the intentional split.

Codex P2 — "Reject stray credential flag for non-key auth updates"

Already addressed in cycle 2 (e389079f7).

The update command rejects --credential for --auth platform and --auth none:

  • inference-providers.ts:267-277platform rejection
  • inference-providers.ts:279-290none rejection

Identical shape to the create command's validation. Codex is re-flagging a previously-resolved finding.

Devin 🚩 — "clearConnectionProviderCache exported but never called" / "Connection provider cache won't invalidate on CRUD updates"

Same root cause as Codex P1 — PR-2 scope.

Both findings point at the dispatch-side wiring that's deferred. The cache hooks ship here so PR-2 has them ready; the call sites (CRUD updates clearing the cache, dispatcher consulting resolveProviderFromConnection) land in PR-2.

Net

No fixes needed in this PR. Cycle 3 stands on 57880417e. Tagging for re-approval — let me know if you want me to also post replies inline on each finding to mark them as wontfix-by-design.

`config-watcher.test.ts` mocks `providers/registry.js` with a stub
factory that doesn't include the new exports added by the inference
providers refactor: `clearConnectionProviderCache` (added in #30162)
and `resolveProviderFromConnection` (used transitively by the new
`connection-resolution.ts` module). When the test file is loaded in
isolation — or in some test orderings — the import chain through
`providers/inference/connections.ts` and `providers/connection-resolution.ts`
hits a `SyntaxError: Export named '...' not found`.

Adds both names to the mock factory. Verified locally:
  bun test src/__tests__/config-watcher.test.ts → 19 pass / 0 fail.

Pre-existing on main (#30162 added the first import without updating
the mock); landing here so CI can run Test green for this PR.

* feat(inference): wire provider_connection into canonical dispatch

Cycle-3 wiring PR — addresses Codex P1 from #30162: the
`resolveProviderFromConnection` resolver shipped as dead code with zero
call sites. This commit wires the canonical inference dispatch path
(`resolveConfiguredProvider` in provider-send-message.ts) to actually use
the resolver.

Behavior:
1. When the resolved profile has `provider_connection`, dispatch routes
   through `resolveProviderFromConnection(connection, config)`.
2. On any miss (connection not found, resolver returns null, lookup
   throws), warn and fall through to legacy `getProvider(name)` so
   misconfiguration doesn't break inference.
3. Profiles without `provider_connection` keep working unchanged via the
   legacy path.

Also: add `provider_connection?: string` to LLMConfigBase. The field
already flowed through `resolveCallSiteConfig` at runtime
(`profileConfigFragment` strips only `source`/`label`/`description`),
so this aligns the type with reality for type-safe access.

Gate test: dispatch-connection-routing.test.ts is the test cycle-2 was
missing. Four cases:
  - Two profiles, same provider, different `provider_connection` →
    resolver called twice, with the right connection each time, with
    auth bundles distinguishable per profile (mix-and-match goal #2).
  - Profile WITHOUT `provider_connection` → resolver NOT called, legacy
    path takes over.
  - `provider_connection` set but unknown → resolver NOT called, legacy
    fallback succeeds.
  - `provider_connection` set, found, but resolver returns null →
    resolver IS called, legacy fallback succeeds.

If wiring regresses, `resolveProviderCalls.length` invariants break the
first test. That's the gate cycle-2 lacked — it tested DB shape, not
dispatch invocation.

* feat(inference): wire provider_connection through satellite providers

Cycle-3 follow-up to canonical-path wiring (c3416ac). Migrates the
five satellite construction-time call sites — subagent manager, daemon
conversation/approval/guardian generators, and rollup producer — to a
single shared connection-aware default-provider resolution path.

* New `providers/connection-resolution.ts`:
  - `tryResolveProviderForConnectionName(name, config)` — promoted from
    private helper in `provider-send-message.ts`. Looks up a
    `provider_connection` row and resolves a Provider with that
    connection's auth bound. Logs and returns null on any miss so
    callers can fall back to the legacy registry path.
  - `resolveDefaultProvider(config)` — for satellites' construction-time
    path. Reads `config.llm.default.{provider, provider_connection}`,
    routes through the connection if named, otherwise legacy lookup.
  - `resolveProviderForCallSite(callSite, config, opts)` — exported
    completeness analogue.

* `call-site-routing.ts`:
  - `CallSiteRoutingProvider` gains an optional async `resolveByConnection`
    ctor param. `selectProvider` is now async; falls through to legacy
    on miss so existing call sites keep working unchanged.
  - New `wrapWithCallSiteRouting(base, config)` helper — replaces the
    per-file wrappers in `approval-generators` and `guardian-action-generators`
    so all five satellites share one wiring shape.

* Satellites migrated (all five):
  - `subagent/manager.ts` — `resolveDefaultProvider` + `wrapWithCallSiteRouting`.
    Throws on null default (preserves existing failure mode).
  - `daemon/conversation-store.ts` — same pattern; throws on null default.
  - `daemon/approval-generators.ts` — both copy + conversation generators
    use the shared wrapping; copy returns null on miss, conversation throws.
  - `daemon/guardian-action-generators.ts` — both generators use the
    shared wrapper. `getConfiguredProvider` already routes through the
    canonical path, so only the wrapper changes here.
  - `home/rollup-producer.ts` — uses `resolveDefaultProvider`. The
    `RollupProducerDeps.resolveProvider?` injection point is widened to
    `() => Provider | null | Promise<Provider | null>` for async tests.

* `provider-send-message.ts` switches to the shared
  `tryResolveProviderForConnectionName` and drops the now-redundant local
  `tryResolveFromConnection` (and its unused `log`/`getLogger` imports).

* Hard-gate test: `__tests__/satellite-connection-routing.test.ts`. Four
  cases on `CallSiteRoutingProvider` directly:
    1. Alternate-profile callSite with `provider_connection` →
       connection-resolution hook fires with the right name+auth and the
       transport that runs is the connection-bound stub (not default,
       not legacy registry).
    2. Alternate-profile callSite WITHOUT `provider_connection` →
       connection hook never fires; legacy registry path produces the stub.
    3. Alternate-profile callSite with unknown `provider_connection` →
       falls through; system stays operational on default.
    4. No callSite → straight to default; no hook, no registry lookup.

  Combined with the cycle-3 first-commit dispatch tests, that's 8 gate
  tests across both code paths (canonical `provider-send-message`
  resolution + satellite `CallSiteRoutingProvider` wrapping).

Cycle-2 + cycle-3-first-commit shipped `resolveProviderFromConnection` as
dead code (zero call sites). This wiring removes that gap. Cycle-4 will
strip the legacy fallback paths once we've shipped one release window
with connection-awareness active.

Verified:
- typecheck clean (assistant + gateway).
- lint clean on touched files.
- `bun test src/providers/__tests__/` → 102 pass / 0 fail / 206 expects.

* test(config-watcher): mock new registry exports added in #30162 / cycle-3

`config-watcher.test.ts` mocks `providers/registry.js` with a stub
factory that doesn't include the new exports added by the inference
providers refactor: `clearConnectionProviderCache` (added in #30162)
and `resolveProviderFromConnection` (used transitively by the new
`connection-resolution.ts` module). When the test file is loaded in
isolation — or in some test orderings — the import chain through
`providers/inference/connections.ts` and `providers/connection-resolution.ts`
hits a `SyntaxError: Export named '...' not found`.

Adds both names to the mock factory. Verified locally:
  bun test src/__tests__/config-watcher.test.ts → 19 pass / 0 fail.

Pre-existing on main (#30162 added the first import without updating
the mock); landing here so CI can run Test green for this PR.

* fix(inference): address review feedback on provider_connection wiring

Four review findings on PR #30198 commits c3416ac + 8b335eb:

* **[Codex P1]** `provider-send-message.ts:127` — provider/connection
  mismatch silent misroute. A profile that names `provider: "openai"`
  together with an Anthropic-flavored `provider_connection` would
  silently dispatch traffic to the connection's backend (Anthropic)
  while metadata still reported the resolved profile (OpenAI). Now we
  verify `connection.provider === expectedProvider` and fall through
  to the legacy registry path (with a warn log) on mismatch instead of
  silently misrouting. `tryResolveProviderForConnectionName` gains an
  optional `expectedProvider` parameter; canonical dispatch passes
  `resolved.provider`, `resolveDefaultProvider` passes
  `profile.provider`, and `CallSiteRoutingProvider`'s async hook
  signature is widened to `(connectionName, expectedProvider)` so the
  shared wrapper threads the value through.

* **[Codex P2 / Devin BUG #1]** `approval-generators.ts:141` — stale
  `listProviders().includes(...)` guard blocks connection-aware
  resolution. In `createApprovalConversationGenerator`, the legacy
  guard threw "No provider available" before the new
  `resolveDefaultProvider(config)` could resolve from connection
  auth. In `your-own` configurations where the default provider lives
  entirely behind a `provider_connection` and never appears in the
  legacy `listProviders()` list, this caused false failures. Removed
  the guard; `resolveDefaultProvider` already returns null on miss
  and we throw on null (right "no provider available" signal).
  `listProviders` import dropped along with it.

* **[Devin BUG #2]** Dead code — `resolveProviderForCallSite` in
  `connection-resolution.ts` was exported for "completeness" but
  never imported or called anywhere. Deleted (and its now-unused
  imports of `resolveCallSiteConfig` + `LLMCallSite`).

* **[Devin BUG #3]** JSDoc for `wrapWithCallSiteRouting` referenced
  helpers "that lived in approval-generators.ts and
  guardian-action-generators.ts" — those were removed in this PR, so
  the comment described history rather than current behavior. Rewrote
  to describe what the function does, not what it replaced.

New gate test in `satellite-connection-routing.test.ts`:
  - profile says provider=openai, provider_connection points at an
    anthropic-flavored row → connection-resolution hook returns null
    on mismatch → legacy `getProvider("openai")` path produces the
    OpenAI stub. Without this fix the connection's anthropic stub
    would have run instead.

Verified:
- `bunx tsc --noEmit` → clean.
- `bun test src/providers/__tests__/` → 103 pass / 0 fail / 209 expects (was 102/0/206; +1 test, +3 expects).

* fix(inference): catch resolveProviderFromConnection rejections, fall through to legacy

Codex P1 follow-up on PR #30198 (#discussion_r3215235367):

`tryResolveProviderForConnectionName` returned the
`resolveProviderFromConnection(connection, config)` promise directly,
so any rejection from the inner async path — credential read failure
in `resolveAuth`, managed-proxy context lookup throwing, transient
provider-impl construction errors — bubbled out of the helper and
hard-failed dispatch instead of falling through to the legacy
`getProvider(resolved.provider)` path the helper's contract advertises.

Wrap in try/catch; log a warn with `{ err, connectionName }` and
return null so `getConfiguredProvider` and `CallSiteRoutingProvider`
can serve the request through the legacy registry. The behavior now
matches the lookup-failure and not-found branches above.

New gate test in satellite-connection-routing.test.ts: a connection
whose `resolveProviderFromConnection` throws does not fail dispatch.
The wrapper catches the rejection, logs, and falls through; the
profile's resolved provider matches default → reused default instance.
Test infrastructure adds a `connectionsThatThrowOnResolve` Set so
individual tests can opt into the throwing path without affecting
the other cases.

Verified:
- `bunx tsc --noEmit` → clean.
- `bun test src/providers/__tests__/satellite-connection-routing.test.ts` → 6 pass / 0 fail / 23 expects (was 5/0/19; +1 test, +4 expects).
