Summary

Add a transport-neutral contracts module that resolves provider routing strings to logical identity, and types the reasoning/capability surfaces providers disagree about. Purely additive — nothing consumes these types yet, existing clients/strategies/formatters are untouched, and importing the module pulls in no provider SDK.

Why

Model identifiers arrive as routing strings — openai/nvidia/zai-org/glm-5.3, openai/azure/openai/gpt-5.6-sol, kimi-k3:free — that mix gateway routes, vendor namespaces, tier suffixes, and provider aliases into one identifier. Inferring semantic identity from those substrings is exactly how a routing prefix like openai/ gets mistaken for the OpenAI provider. This module resolves a routing string to a logical provider exactly once, at the adapter edge, so no other code has to guess.

What's in it

  • ProviderIdentity + parse_model_string — routing/gateway prefixes, namespace prefixes, provider aliases (claude→anthropic, zai→glm, moonshot→kimi), and tier suffixes (:free, :cloud) stripped once here. Unresolvable strings fail closed with UnknownProviderIdentityError rather than guessing. Bedrock-style dotted ids (anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5) normalize to the same identity as the plain form.
  • ReasoningKind / ReasoningRecord / ReasoningReplayMode + the recursive JsonValue alias — retained reasoning artifacts as kind + payload + provenance in NOOA-owned JSON, so they can be stored and compared without holding provider SDK objects.
  • derive_opaque_replay_key — a non-secret SHA-256 compatibility digest over provider + api_style + endpoint/account scope + the declared model compat group. The compat group is the model dimension of the key (raw model ids are not mixed in, so model-id churn never changes the key); normalization happens inside the derivation and is versioned with the key; undeclared models derive no key rather than a speculative one; transport is excluded.
  • ModelCompatGroup — explicitly declared, provider-scoped membership with conservative defaults for the gpt-5 and claude-4-5 families.
  • ReasoningCapabilities with effort_map (None = unsupported), a default catalog, and an explicit override registry; unknown providers return None rather than being promoted to supported.

Dependency note

JsonValue uses a PEP 695 recursive alias as a Pydantic field annotation, which requires pydantic>=2.11 — the old-style Union alias recurses infinitely under Pydantic 2.x schema generation (verified: RecursionError). The pydantic floor is raised to 2.11.0 across the workspace pyprojects; the lockfile already resolved to 2.13.4, so no environment changes in practice.

Tests

Golden JSON fixtures freeze every contract type's schema; 36 tests cover gateway alias resolution, tier/alias normalization, key stability and divergence, same-group key equality, Bedrock dotted-id convergence, fail-closed paths (unknown identity, undeclared compat groups, unknown capabilities), capability override precedence, and a no-provider-SDK-imports guard. The golden fixture also asserts the frozen digest is reproducible from the derivation function.

uv run pytest tests/unifiedllm/388 passed. Ruff check + format clean.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds transport-neutral unified LLM contracts for provider identity, model normalization, reasoning artifacts, compatibility groups, opaque replay keys, and capability catalogs. It exposes these APIs publicly, adds contract and corpus validation, and raises the minimum Pydantic version to 2.11.0.

Does this need to live in NOOA? Isn't there something in Light LLM or any LLM that takes this responsibility? I can see the one benefit of making this provider-independent, meaning that we could switch from Light LLM to any LLM and back, or pick another library later on, but it's a lot of complexity to onboard, so I just want to make sure it's worth it.

Answered in the code in 0dfc14c - the ProviderIdentity docstring now states the ownership rationale directly: litellm parses a routing string to pick where to send the request; that parsing is transport-specific and mutable across library versions, and it conflates gateway routes with providers (an openai/ prefix in a routed id is not evidence the model is served by OpenAI). This identity answers a different question - who produced a stored artifact and who may receive it back - which is stamped once at the adapter edge, persisted alongside captured reasoning, and compared long after the original request, potentially under a different transport. That durability requirement, plus the provider-independent switch benefit you named, is why it lives here rather than being borrowed from either library.

Comment thread src/nooa/unifiedllm/contracts.py
Add a transport-neutral contracts module that resolves provider routing
strings to logical identity and types the reasoning/capability surfaces
providers disagree about.

ProviderIdentity + parse_model_string resolve routing strings
("openai/nvidia/zai-org/glm-5.3", "openai/azure/openai/gpt-5.6-sol",
"kimi-k3:free") exactly once at the adapter edge: routing/gateway prefixes,
namespace prefixes, provider aliases (claude->anthropic, zai->glm,
moonshot->kimi), and tier suffixes are stripped here, so no other code has
to guess a provider from a substring. Unresolvable strings fail closed with
UnknownProviderIdentityError instead of guessing.

Also typed:

- ReasoningKind / ReasoningRecord / ReasoningReplayMode and the recursive
  JsonValue alias: retained reasoning artifacts as kind + payload +
  provenance in NOOA-owned JSON, so they can be stored and compared without
  holding provider SDK objects.
- derive_opaque_replay_key: a non-secret sha256 compatibility digest over
  provider + api_style + endpoint/account scope + the declared model compat
  group. The compat group is the model dimension of the key (raw model ids
  are not mixed in, so model-id churn never changes the key);
  normalization happens inside the derivation and is versioned with the key;
  undeclared models derive no key rather than a speculative one; transport
  is excluded.
- ModelCompatGroup: explicitly declared, provider-scoped membership (verified
  live before registration) with conservative defaults for the gpt-5 and
  claude-4-5 families.
- ReasoningCapabilities with effort_map (None = unsupported), a default
  catalog, and an explicit override registry; unknown providers return None
  rather than being promoted to supported.

JsonValue uses a PEP 695 recursive alias as a Pydantic field annotation,
which requires pydantic>=2.11 (the old-style Union alias recurses
infinitely under Pydantic 2.x schema generation), so the pydantic floor is
raised to 2.11.0 across the workspace pyprojects.

Pure additive: nothing consumes these types yet, and importing the module
pulls in no provider SDK.

Tests: golden JSON fixtures freeze every contract type's schema; gateway
aliases, normalization, key stability/divergence, same-group key equality,
Bedrock dotted-id convergence, fail-closed paths, and override semantics.
36 in test_contracts.py; 388 across the unifiedllm suite. Ruff clean.

…entity rationale

- compat_group_for: lowercase members of injected groups mappings at lookup
  so callers passing their own declarations get the same case handling as
  register_compat_group; mixed-case members were previously unreachable
- test: injected mixed-case group resolves through compat_group_for and
  derive_opaque_replay_key
- JsonValue docstring: why it is defined here (json is a serializer, Any
  validates nothing, and old-style recursive aliases recurse infinitely
  under Pydantic 2.x schema generation) and why the PEP 695 form is required
- ProviderIdentity docstring: why identity is owned here rather than borrowed
  from a transport library — litellm parses routing strings to pick where to
  send a request; this identity answers who produced a stored artifact and
  who may receive it back, persisted and compared long after the request

Tests: 37 in test_contracts.py; 389 across the unifiedllm suite. Ruff clean.

Harden parse_model_string against real catalog ids and pin the result with
committed conformance fixtures.

Parser fixes found by running the two live corpora (OpenRouter public
catalog, 430 ids; NVIDIA inference gateway, 241 ids) through the parser and
diffing against each catalog's own vendor attribution:

- o-series (o1/o3/o4) and gpt-oss/gpt-audio/gpt-chat families, ordered
  before the generic gpt- prefix so they can match
- gemma/lyria (google), muse-spark/muse-glimmer (meta),
  ministral/mixtral/codestral/devstral/voxtral (mistral), phi (microsoft)
- ":batch" tier suffix alongside :free/:cloud; OpenRouter's leading "~"
  variant markers
- vendor-alias spellings: meta-llama->meta, mistralai->mistral, x-ai->xai,
  deepseek-ai->deepseek, z-ai->glm, minimaxai->minimax, google->google,
  microsoft->microsoft
- mid-id family markers for NVIDIA's post-trained derivatives
  (llama-3.1-nemotron-ultra, nemoguard, nemoretriever, nemosmith,
  nv-embedqa, nv-rerankqa, nv-embed, nv-rerank): no prefix rule can
  attribute a model line derived from another family's base, so the
  distinctive marker is matched anywhere in the final segment

Conformance fixtures (tests/unifiedllm/fixtures/model_id_corpora.json)
freeze both corpora with vendor ground truth; the new test module asserts
zero misattribution on both corpora, guards the measured resolution rate
against regressions, pins deployment spellings (azure/, vertex_ai/,
bedrock/<region>/..., tier/variant markers, nvidia/<vendor>/<model>), and
checks that undeclared boutique vendors fail closed.

Measured after fixes: OpenRouter 320/430 resolved (74.4%), zero
misattributions; NVIDIA gateway 82/90 vendor-segmented ids resolved
(91.1%), zero misattributions. Unresolved ids are undeclared model
families that fail closed rather than guessing.

Tests: 6 new corpus tests + 37 contract tests; 395 across the unifiedllm
suite. Ruff check + format clean.

Extend the identity-parsing conformance corpora to the deployment-prefixed
model ids (221 azure/, 127 vertex_ai/, 154 bedrock/ from the catalog bundled
with the transport library, cross-referenced with each served model's
bare-catalog provider). Transport labels (azure/bedrock/vertex_ai-*/...) are
never treated as logical providers; ids the catalog cannot verify carry
vendor=null and only the zero-misattribution and resolution-rate invariants
apply to them.

Parser hardening found by the deployment corpora:

- vertex-style "@Version" suffixes ("claude-3-5-sonnet@20240620")
- Azure media/aux families: gpt-image, gpt-realtime, dall-e, sora,
  text-embedding, tts-, whisper, codex
- Vertex media families: imagen, chirp, imagegeneration, veo; jamba (ai21)
- Bedrock vendor.model heads resolve and strip (moonshotai./qwen./minimax./
  amazon./cohere.) including region and commitment path segments; the head
  strip only fires for declared vendor names so model families with dots in
  their ids ("jamba-1.5-mini") never lose their head
- command-* (Cohere) matched without the trailing hyphen boundary

Measured after fixes (verifiable ids): azure 178/184 (96.7%), vertex_ai
29/31 (93.5%), bedrock 151/152 (99.3%); zero misattributions and zero
unexpected fail-closed ids across all three deployment corpora. Deployment
spelling pins extended (region segments, commitment paths, @Version,
vendor.model heads, media/aux families).

Tests: 12 corpus tests (5 corpora, resolution-rate floors, deployment
spellings, fail-closed); 401 across the unifiedllm suite. Ruff clean.

CodeAct take: Could we clarify this boundary? NOOA should own durable logical identity and persisted replay contracts, while LiteLLM can supply model-level capability facts. Please keep parsing as an adapter fallback and make capability lookup model/API-style aware instead of provider-wide.

CodeAct take: I think the ownership split is mostly right. NOOA should own persisted reasoning records, replay policy/compatibility, and durable logical identity. LiteLLM cannot fully provide that identity: its get_llm_provider treats the leading openai/ route as the provider for the nested NVIDIA examples here.

Could we make capabilities model/API-style aware, though? LiteLLM already has model-level reasoning and effort metadata, while get_reasoning_capabilities("openai") applies one profile—including an Azure-specific backfill flag—to every OpenAI model and endpoint. I suggest using LiteLLM facts at the adapter edge, then layering small NOOA overrides for missing or incorrect data. Explicit adapter identity would also be preferable, with parse_model_string kept as a legacy fallback.

CodeAct take: A couple of small public-API gaps:

  • Importing nooa.unifiedllm.contracts still runs the package initializer, which loads LiteLLM/OpenAI and triggers the model-map fetch. The source-text test misses this. Could we add a fresh-process import test and make this path genuinely lazy/lightweight?
  • JsonValue is missing from contracts.all and the package exports; RedactionClass is also missing from the package exports. Could we export them consistently, or mark them private if that is intentional?

CodeAct take: Could we make ReasoningRecord.payload strict JSON? Pydantic currently accepts NaN/infinity but serializes them as null, so the value changes after persistence. It also coerces bytes to text. Please reject non-finite floats and non-JSON types, with a round-trip test for accepted payloads.

# Members are lowercased at comparison time so injected mappings match
# regardless of how they were constructed (register_compat_group also
# normalizes on write; this covers callers passing their own mapping).

CodeAct take: Could we reject overlapping groups or define real override precedence here? If an adapter registers zzz-openai-next with {gpt-5.6-sol, gpt-next}, this lookup still picks openai-gpt-5 for gpt-5.6-sol but zzz-openai-next for gpt-next. The two declared group members then get different replay keys. A regression test with a differently named overlapping group would catch this.

Superseded by the smaller implementation stack: #268#312#310#311. The replacement keeps provider-specific capture/replay inside UnifiedLLM, stores one opaque sidecar on canonical LLMOutput, and avoids importing a provider catalog into core NOOA.
