Summary

Separates reusable provider definitions from deployment instances, allowing an
application to mount multiple upstreams and explicitly select a reviewed dialect
for each instance of a provider protocol.

Why

A provider protocol defines projections, errors, and stream behavior. A
deployment supplies an upstream URL and local routes. Separating those roles
lets deployments reuse the same guarded behavior without duplicating it.

How it works

Provider type identifies the protocol family. Each instance declares its reviewed
endpoints and error mapping, deployment identity, upstream base URL, local mount,
and operation-ID namespace. Instances of one family may use different dialects.

Application assembly binds each instance to dispatch and installs guarded routes
before instance-specific catch-all forwarding. Multiple instances can therefore
reach different configured upstreams, with strict OpenAI and LiteLLM declarations
coexisting without widening one another's field policy.

Streaming dispatch is bound only for endpoints that declare a stream binding.
Buffered-only endpoints remain usable and reject stream requests before dispatch.

What Changed

  • Adds reusable endpoint definitions and deployment-local instance declarations.
  • Composes instance-specific routes and dispatch targets in a private application.
  • Namespaces operation IDs so multiple instances can coexist.
  • Carries provider-declared control headers and creates stream-hook state per request.
  • Composes the reviewed typed projections and explicit stream bindings without redefining provider field policy.
  • Allows explicit dialect selection per instance; the default OpenAI endpoint remains strict.
  • Composes buffered-only endpoints without requiring a streaming dispatcher.
  • Supports declared canonical pass-through methods while retaining guarded path and method rejection.

Review Notes

Review route precedence, instance isolation, operation IDs, and request-local
state. Provider definitions own protocol semantics; instances own deployment
locations. Applications select reviewed endpoints in trusted provider
declarations; no request-controlled dialect selection or automatic backend
detection is introduced.

Local focused composition and transport checks: 75 passed; pre-commit passed.

AI tools assisted with implementation and review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added configurable provider integrations with support for mounted routes, upstream settings, streaming endpoints, and custom error handling.
    • Added an OpenAI Chat Completions integration with configurable upstream and mount path.
    • Chat Completions now accepts GET requests for passthrough while continuing to guard POST requests.
    • Added configurable guarded-path prefixes and operation IDs.
    • Provider requests can exclude configured control headers, and upstream URLs avoid duplicate base paths.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of guarded routes, passthrough methods, and conflicting provider routes.

[Medium impact] The changes affect the experimental provider proxy workflow for applications that mount provider instances.

Update the dependent import before merging this revision into the stack.

Findings

  1. P1 Dependent server cannot start ▶
Fix with agent prompt
### Issue 1
nemoguardrails/server/experimental/provider/integration.py:22
Removing `_route_path_shape` breaks dependent PR #2457. Its `_provider_routes.py` still imports this helper from `provider/integration.py`, which that PR does not change. Applying its changes on top of this revision therefore raises `ImportError` before the server can start. Keep a compatibility alias or update the dependent caller to import `_route_shape`.

For each issue above, determine whether it is valid and should be fixed. If so, fix it directly.

Summary

Separates provider policy from deployment settings so applications can mount several upstreams with their own reviewed endpoints.

  • Applications can mount provider instances that share guarded behavior but use separate upstreams.
  • Each provider request reaches its configured upstream without proxy-only headers.
  • OpenAI Chat keeps POST guarded and lets declared GET requests pass through.

📝 Walkthrough

The changes add provider integration declarations, route construction and mounting, and transport options for control headers and upstream URL paths. They also update guarded-path method handling and add an OpenAI chat integration factory, with tests for composition, routing, and transport behavior.

Adds provider configuration types and validation, pass-through method rules, guarded-path prefixes, operation-ID overrides, and an OpenAI integration factory. Updates route-rejection test expectations for GET and POST.
Upstream transport behavior
nemoguardrails/server/experimental/_provider_transport.py, tests/server/experimental/test_provider_transport.py
Adds validation and filtering for configured control headers. Avoids repeating a base URL path when mapping upstream request paths.
Provider route composition
nemoguardrails/server/experimental/_provider_routes.py, tests/server/experimental/test_provider_composition.py
Adds provider validation and FastAPI route mounting. Tests cover provider instances, route precedence and reservations, guarded-path rejection, streaming, and transport behavior.

Requests can reach the guarded upstream endpoint without content review. Fix the routing bypass before merging; prefixed routes also need to reject encoded non-canonical paths.

Port the three D-3 composition and route-ownership commits onto finalized streaming. Extend the existing shared path declaration with canonical passthrough methods instead of restoring the retired kernel path class. Preserve StreamBinding and request-local hooks, response ownership, and prepared encoding policy.

Treat provider_type as protocol identity while keeping reviewed endpoints explicit per instance. Allow strict OpenAI and LiteLLM instances to coexist without sharing or widening field policy.

Bind streaming dispatch only when an endpoint declares streaming, and reuse the route-shape validator. Cover buffered-only rejection of stream requests, mixed-dialect inspection, and native network-error mapping.

Build one routing plan per provider and use its ownership declarations for mount validation and catch-all classification. Consolidate local and mapped upstream decisions before request buffering, and construct every router before installing any of them. Preserve contract-export import isolation and document the explicit backend-alias contract.
