v2.0.0

​

✨ Features

• Batch Accounting - Provider batch jobs are tracked in a new batch_jobs table and settled asynchronously: results are priced per model from catalog batch rates (0.5 default ratio) on the /results path, one aggregate cost log is written idempotently with the creating request’s identity, a background sweeper with ownership fencing re-drives jobs that timed out, settled usage is charged exactly once to the creating user’s budgets and rate limits (including unscoped virtual key budgets on model-less batch-create requests), mixed-model batch rows are repriced during cost recalculation, and the log detail view shows a Batch Details block with per-state request counts and the settled cost (#5291, #5292, #5293, #5294, #5295, #5296, #6109, #6121, #6376, #6410, #6474, #6505)
• Claude-on-Vertex Batches - Vertex batch jobs route Anthropic models to publishers/anthropic/..., build Claude-on-Vertex JSONL instances, round-trip custom_id, and preserve tools, toolConfig, cachedContent, labels and display_name on Gemini/Vertex batch requests (#5368)
• Input / Output Cost Split - Every log carries input_cost, output_cost and additional_cost (guardrails, semantic cache, MCP) next to the total, across the RDB, ClickHouse, matviews, recalculation and the quota API; speech, transcription and OCR usages carry BifrostCost; the log detail view shows the split with per-category detail (#6511)
• Bifrost Overhead Latency - upstream_latency and overhead_latency are recorded on every log, aggregated (avg, p90, p95, p99) in the dashboard’s new Bifrost Overhead chart and shown in the log detail view; the overhead is decomposed by span self-time into serialization, conversion, plugins, middleware, key selection, queue wait, networking, client delivery and scheduling buckets (including streaming per-chunk parse, conversion and backpressure and the worker hand-off), persisted to overhead_breakdown and rendered as a stacked bar in the log detail view; a bifrost_overhead_latency_microseconds histogram is exported to Prometheus and OpenTelemetry and upstream_latency_ms/overhead_latency_ms tags to Maxim, while breakdown spans are kept out of observability connectors (#5533, #5534, #5535, #6345, #6388, #6389, #6433, #6470, #6495)
• Notification Center - Role-targeted dashboard notifications stored in the database, delivered over WebSocket and surfaced in a topbar tray via GET/POST /api/notifications (#6207, #6227, #6324)
• Topbar and Responsive Dashboard - Persistent topbar with page titles, theme toggle, external links, user menu and version; responsive layouts across all views with truncation and tooltips for long values and icon-only buttons; version-skew detection with an auto-reloading upgrading screen (#6196, #6105, #6126, #6204, #6232, #6330, #6370, #6476, #6485, #6493)
• Video Edits - POST /v1/videos/edits applies prompt-driven edits, upscaling and background removal to an existing video supplied as bytes, a URL or a provider video ID, on OpenAI and Runware (#6270)
• Runware Chat, Catalog and Media Operations - Chat completions, streaming and Responses via Runware’s OpenAI-compatible endpoint, ListModels from the curated catalog, image upscale via /v1/images/edits (type=upscale), image-to-3D and async 3D generation via /v1/videos (type=3d), provider-reported per-task cost, and a raw /runware_passthrough route (#6260, #6372, #6208, #6075)
• JSON Image Edits - POST /v1/images/edits accepts JSON bodies with URL or base64 images and typed extra params in addition to multipart (#6418)
• OpenAI Ultrafast Service Tier - service_tier: "ultrafast" is forwarded only to models that support it and billed at dedicated ultrafast rates, with matching custom pricing override fields (#6396, #6399)
• Service Tier on Logs - Logs record the tier actually served, including Anthropic’s service_tier from message_start on streams, with a Service Tier column and detail field so repricing uses the served tier (#6233, #6236)
• Pricing Fields - New per-request flat fee (cost_per_request), megapixel-based image tiers (4/8/16/32/64 MP), per-size and joint size+quality image rates for gpt-image-1-style models, and input_cost_per_query for rerank flow through datasheet sync, the cost engine, custom overrides, the API and the UI override form; upscale output resolution is backfilled from target/factor on Replicate so tiered rates bill the real output size (#6079, #6082, #6083, #6379, #6380)
• Model Catalog Pricing and Overrides - Pricing data in the model catalog (thanks @johnbrett!), with resolved pricing overrides exposed on /api/models/details and on catalog rows, shown in the dashboard (#6055, #6056, #6058)
• Typed Embeddings on Bedrock - Titan V2 embeddingTypes and Cohere embedding_types on Converse, the native invoke route and LangChain BedrockEmbeddings (#6381)
• Rerank Upgrades - Structured JSON documents, return_documents, next_token pagination, caller document IDs preserved in every result, Cohere-shaped errors, cross-provider responses converted back to the caller’s wire shape, and /genai/v1/rank served cross-provider (#6328, #6301, #6432)
• OpenRouter Speech, Transcription and Embeddings - TTS and STT through OpenRouter’s audio endpoints, and embedding models included in ListModels (#5734, #6264)
• Grok on Bedrock Mantle - xai. models route through the openai/v1 Mantle path (#6022)
• Gemini 3 Thinking Levels - A per-model thinkingLevel support table clamps requested levels to the rungs each model implements; reasoning_effort: "none" sets the model’s floor level instead of zeroing thinkingBudget (#6280)
• Datasheet-Backed Compatibility - Anthropic, Bedrock, Cohere and Gemini request shaping (adaptive thinking, native effort, disable-reasoning, mid-conversation system turns, computer-use and text-editor tool generations, default max output tokens, tool validation) is resolved from model capabilities instead of hardcoded model-name checks (#6281, #6492)
• Reasoning Effort None - Models that reason by default but do not support reasoning with tool calls get reasoning.effort: "none" when they advertise supports_none_reasoning_effort, instead of losing reasoning entirely (#6293)
• HTTP Transport Pre-Auth Hook - New HTTPTransportPreAuthHook plugin phase runs before transport authentication so plugins can inject credentials such as x-bf-vk; a virtual-key-from-config native plugin example ships alongside it (#6375, #6373)
• Plugin Inject Limits - Per-plugin semaphore_size and inject_timeout on PluginConfig bound observability Inject calls so a hung connector releases its slot (#6341)
• Harness Session Autodetection - Claude Code, Codex CLI and OpenCode session headers populate the session ID when x-bf-session-id is absent (#6333)
• Auth and Model Check Skip Paths - Context keys let trusted internal callers bypass auth resolution, and let evaluate-only requests such as /inspect bypass the virtual key provider and model allowlists while budgets and rate limits still apply (#6124, #6479)
• Passthrough Encoding Negotiation - Forwarded Accept-Encoding is filtered to decodable codecs (gzip, deflate, brotli, zstd; gzip and identity for streams) and chained content encodings are decoded (#6360)
• Routing Plugin - Routing rules and the complexity router live in a dedicated routing plugin that runs after governance so rules evaluate on the fully stamped context; endpoints moved to /api/routing/rules and /api/routing/complexity-analyzer-config with deprecated /api/governance/* aliases; complexity routing now reads the text of mixed text+image turns (#6144, #6145, #6146, #6147, #6253)
• Dimension Scope Ceiling - Grouped log analytics (rankings, histograms, key pairs) are bounded to the customer, team, business unit, user and virtual key ids the caller may see (#6262)
• MCP Per-User OAuth and Token Exchange - MCP clients can hold per-user OAuth credentials and per-user headers, configurable from config.json as well as the UI, with a documented shared vs per-identity token lookup contract, oauth_config.resource (RFC 8707), VK/Users filters on the OAuth Grants and MCP Auth Sessions sidebars and one shared create/install client form; token_exchange gains use_idp_credentials to reuse SSO login app credentials for providers such as Microsoft Entra ID (client_id becomes optional) and combines offline_access with <audience>/.default for Entra OBO; shared-OAuth clients show needs_reauth when their token row is invalidated, Reauthorize is limited to shared clients, the OAuth flow claim is atomic against concurrent reauth, stored scopes survive a decode failure, and credential caches propagate cancellation and version their entries (#6068, #6069, #6078, #6411, #6428, #6429, #6504)
• MCP Connection Lifecycle and Tool Discovery - Discovered tools persist and resync uniformly across all client types through a hash-gated core callback, surviving restarts and propagating across a cluster; connections use make-before-break reconnects with ephemeral clients rebuilt across the whole connect+init retry, last-known tool maps preserved, connect attempts bound to entry identity and background reconnects deduped; needs_session_stickiness is pinned across config.json reconciliation; updating static headers on a sticky client pre-flight verifies the new credential and swaps it onto the live connection, per-call shared-credential clients refresh tools synchronously, and a failed enable parks the client at Disabled so it can be retried; the global tool_sync_interval hot-reloads and re-times running checkers; state badges render with spaces and the disconnected filter bucket is now unstable (#6409, #6430, #6431, #6483, #6502)
• Air-Gapped MCP Catalog - mcp_library_sync_interval: 0 disables catalog sync and file:// URLs load the MCP server library from disk (#6195)
• MCP Log Redaction and Plugin Logs - MCP tool logs carry redaction mappings and plugin logs (#5744, #5746)
• Splunk Connector Configuration - config.schema.json, Helm values and dashboard entries for the Splunk HEC observability connector (#6296, #6091, #6099)
• Helm Broker Clustering - bifrost.cluster.type: broker with broker address, port and TLS settings alongside the existing mesh transport (#6398)
• HTTP/2 Ping Interval in the UI - Provider network configuration exposes http2_ping_interval_in_seconds (#6228)
• Status Code Badges - Error and passthrough logs show the upstream HTTP status code in the log detail header (#5536)
• Server-Side Tool Calls in Logs - web_search_call, code_interpreter_call and similar Responses items render their full payload in the log detail view (#6475)
• Gemini Server-Side Tool Calls - Gemini toolCall/toolResponse parts surface as web_search_call items with their own call ID and queries, unmapped tool types are preserved on the native round-trip, and each thoughtSignature appears exactly once on replay (#6071)
• Bedrock VPC Endpoints - AWS Bedrock keys can target VPC endpoints (#6064)
• W3C Trace ID Propagation - Requests carry a W3C trace ID on the context (#5945)
• Durable Background Jobs - New sidekiq background-job table, store methods, and runner with recovery and reaper; cost recalculation migrated to a durable, resumable and cancellable job with polling instead of SSE (#5800, #5801)
• Separate OTEL Metrics Pipeline - The OTEL collector supports a metrics tab independent of traces, plus separate headers for traces and metrics (#5939, #5940)
• Grouped Logs View - The logs table groups fallback chains under expandable roots backed by the new roots_only filter with child aggregates, and the model catalog persists tab, search and provider in the URL (#5522, #5737, #6059)
• User Agent and App Attribution - Logs and MCP tool logs record user agent, app, source, decision, app key and device ID, with custom user-agent mapping and dashboard dimension rankings; MCP tool logs observed by the Bifrost Edge agent can be ingested with device, app key, decision and source attribution
• S3 Log Export Metadata - Additional metadata is written alongside S3 log exports (#6070)
• Matview Maintenance Off Switch - matview_refresh_interval accepts "off" to disable logstore matview maintenance entirely (thanks @jeremym-tanium!) (#5693)
• Video Request Info in Logs UI - Video requests surface their details in the logs UI (#5946)
• Shell Rewriter Hook - The UI handler exposes a ShellRewriter hook for pre-hydration HTML rewriting (#5807)
• Custom Branding - Logo and icon branding support with an OSS fallback stub, cached in localStorage to prevent a logo flash on load (#5806, #6096)
• User Assignment on Virtual Keys - Users can be assigned from the virtual key sheet (#5863)

• Alerting Configuration - Alerting schema in config.schema.json with declarative channels and CEL-based rules, Helm chart support, and enterprise fallback pages
• Canonical Model Names - Dashboard model rankings now show canonical model names instead of inference-profile IDs (thanks @satyamkrishna!)
• OAuth2 Hardening - Allowlist for private-use redirect URI schemes (RFC 8252 §7.1) and a shouldSweep gate on the OAuth2 sweep worker
• Mirrored Schema Support - schema_url / BIFROST_SCHEMA_URL for mirrored schema locations in isolated deployments
• Vertex Single-Region Config - Enforce single-region configuration in Vertex key config

• Edge Fallback Pages - Added fallback pages for Bifrost Edge control views (config, devices, inventory) backed by governance resolver support
• Agent Handover View - Added an agent handover page with seeded end-to-end data support
• First-Time Setup Token - A setup token gates first-time setup so a fresh deployment is not open to the world, and the onboarding checklist is back, completing its dashboard auth step on SSO deployments (#5759, #5784, #6322)

​

🐞 Fixed

• Structured Output Schema Order - response_format JSON schemas are forwarded byte-for-byte to OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, Gemini and Cohere so the model generates fields in the caller’s declared order instead of a re-sorted one (#6235)
• Thinking Block Typing on Streams - Reasoning items carrying both an encrypted payload and a visible summary open as thinking blocks instead of redacted_thinking (#6292)
• Replayed Thinking Blocks via bedrock/ Prefix - Content-less tool_result blocks are kept, interleaved block order is preserved, incomplete maps to error on Converse, and pending reasoning is consumed by its owning item, so multi-turn tool use no longer wedges (#6346)
• Gemini 400s on Claude Code Traffic - Trailing assistant prefills are trimmed and mid-conversation system turns are inlined for Gemini/Vertex; extra_fields is echoed on /anthropic/v1/messages (#6363)
• Bedrock Tool Use IDs - IDs longer than 64 characters or outside Bedrock’s charset (such as Gemini thought-signature IDs) are aliased deterministically on both tool_use and tool_result (#6300)
• Azure Responses Stream Errors - Terminal error and response.failed events inside an already-open HTTP 200 SSE stream are surfaced as errors with their nested type, code and message (thanks @dani29!) (#6302)
• GenAI SSE Heartbeats - GenAI streams delimit heartbeat comments so Google SDK clients preserve the following event, while older openai-go clients keep the bare heartbeat (thanks @dani29!) (#6252)
• OpenCode max_tokens - max_tokens is preserved for OpenCode-compatible chat endpoints (thanks @Alex-wangyang!) (#6458)
• HuggingFace Streaming Usage - HuggingFace is no longer listed as omitting the [DONE] marker, and stream_options.include_usage defaults on its chat streaming path, so streamed calls stop reporting zero tokens and zero cost (thanks @elliottrabac!) (#6478)
• Provider Key Name on Update - A key PUT that omits name no longer clears it, and already-exists errors keep their constraint detail (thanks @cpsc!) (#6417)
• Bedrock Mantle Streaming - Bedrock Mantle is registered in ProviderSendsDoneMarker so streams end after finish_reason (#6021)
• URL-Sourced Files and Images - gs:// URIs go to Gemini/Gemma as fileData.fileUri and are read from Cloud Storage for Claude-on-Vertex, s3:// references go to Bedrock Converse as s3Location, Bedrock rerank synthesizes the foundation-model ARN from a bare model ID, OpenAI file blocks keep file_url, non-http schemes pass through on the OpenAI and native-Anthropic paths, and Gemini always emits a candidate with its finish reason and drops payload-free parts (#6239)
• Together and Alias Pricing - The management catalog resolves runtime provider together to the datasheet identity and prices configured aliases through their target model (thanks @dani29!) (#6257, #6320)
• Redis Vector Store TAG Escaping - All RediSearch special characters are escaped in TAG query values (thanks @AdityaPainuli!) (#5351)
• MCP Tool Sync Interval Corruption - Toggling an MCP client’s enable/disable switch no longer corrupts tool_sync_interval; the value is a whole number of minutes, negative values are rejected instead of silently disabling sync, and re-enabling a per-call client restarts its discovery cycle (#6409, #6502)
• MCP Tool Map Staleness - SetClientTools replaces the in-memory tool map instead of merging, so tools removed upstream leave memory once the database has dropped them (#6484)
• SSE Reconnect Identity - OnConnectionLost on SSE MCP clients is gated on connection identity so a stale connection cannot tear down its replacement
• Connector Header Redaction - Authorization, x-api-key, Cloudflare Access and AWS ALB OIDC headers are redacted before export to every observability backend (#6371)
• Vertex Mixed Tools - Vertex AI accepts function declarations and Google Search in the same request without includeServerSideToolInvocations, and search localization via retrievalConfig.latLng is preserved (#6066)
• Gemini Tool Preference - When tool combination is disabled, function declarations win over Google Search so the model can still call the caller’s tools (#6065)
• Bedrock Stop Reasons - Bedrock content_filter and guardrail_intervened stop reasons map to incomplete status with a content_filter reason
• Encrypted Reasoning on Compaction - The fail-soft that strips encrypted_content before retrying a rejected request also covers /v1/responses/compact and count-tokens requests, and recognizes Anthropic’s redacted_thinking rejection (#6041, #5960)
• DAC-Scoped VK Reads - from_memory virtual key reads are blocked for DAC-scoped callers
• Path Normalization Auth Bypass - Fixed a path normalization flaw that allowed auth to be bypassed (#5763)
• Minimal Reasoning Effort on GPT-5 Models - reasoning_effort: "minimal" is preserved for GPT-5-family OpenAI models instead of being downgraded to low (thanks @jitokim!) (#6046)
• Gemini Truncated Response Finish Reason - Truncated Gemini responses report MAX_TOKENS instead of OTHER (thanks @AdityaPainuli!) (#5979)
• Null Tool-Call Function Name on Streaming - Streaming continuation deltas no longer materialize an absent tool-call function name as null (thanks @AdityaPainuli!) (#5966)
• Bedrock Document Uploads - Fixed Bedrock file handling in inference so office and PDF documents sent as OpenAI type: "file" are accepted (#5947)
• xAI Usage Cost - Fixed USD cost ticks for xAI usage (#5950)
• Governance List-Models Call - Budgets and rate limits no longer trigger a list-models call (#6051)
• Realtime Response Create Input - Guarded response.create input (#6050)
• Governance Rate-Limit Reset CPU - Guards against invalid reset timeouts, parallelized resting-budget flows only when absolutely required, and fixed the calendar-based alignment qualifier
• Masked Key Persistence - Never persist masked provider key previews to config storage (thanks @eyeveil!)
• OpenShift Arbitrary UIDs - Build-time group-0 ownership with no runtime chown (thanks @eyeveil!)
• Passthrough Virtual Key Attribution - Passthrough calls via the Azure api-key header now attribute to the virtual key (thanks @eyeveil!)
• Rerank for Custom Providers - /v1/rerank now works with custom OpenAI-compatible providers (thanks @eyeveil!)
• Responses Stream Usage - Persist stream usage when providers omit or reuse sequence numbers (thanks @eyeveil!)
• Wildcard allowed_models Repair - Repair bare wildcard allowed_models rows that broke admin provider updates (thanks @eyeveil!)
• Streaming Error Panic - Nil-safe tracing span lookup prevents panics on streaming errors (thanks @eyeveil!)
• Anthropic Tool ID Sanitization - Sanitize tool_use/tool_result ids to Anthropic’s charset (thanks @Shaik-Sirajuddin!)
• Realtime Transcription Sessions - Support GA transcription-type sessions in POST /v1/realtime/client_secrets (thanks @Shaik-Sirajuddin!)
• Diarized Transcription - Support diarized_json segments and ElevenLabs speaker passthrough (thanks @Shaik-Sirajuddin!)
• Model Discovery - Skip disabled keys when scheduling model-discovery fetches (thanks @Shaik-Sirajuddin!)
• MCP Timeout Placeholder - Show the real global default in the MCP tool execution timeout placeholder (thanks @Shaik-Sirajuddin!)
• Redacted Thinking Round-Trip - Round-trip Anthropic redacted_thinking blocks on the Responses surface (thanks @fus3r!)
• Streaming Accumulation - Preserve citation annotations and finish_reason in the accumulated streaming response (thanks @fus3r!)
• Gemini Grounded Streaming - Reset web-search flag when recycling pooled stream state so web_search_call items keep emitting (thanks @fus3r!)
• Bedrock Truncation Signal - Signal max_output_tokens truncation on the Responses API (thanks @jeremym-tanium!)
• Bedrock Reasoning Config - Preserve reasoning_config on cross-provider translation so fallbacks keep extended thinking (thanks @Purvi09!)
• Anthropic tool_search - Forward and rebuild server-side tool_search on the Responses path (thanks @ws4charlie!)
• OpenAI Responses Input - Strip role from non-message input items (thanks @nettee!) and serialize compaction request input correctly (thanks @mcclurmc!)
• additional_tools Support - Added additional_tools message type support, preserving nested tool types on /v1/responses
• Plugin Stream Errors - Emit structured plugin stream errors on integration routes (thanks @jeffhos!)
• Pooled Object Hygiene - Zero pooled ChannelMessage references on release and sweep orphaned deferred spans in trace store TTL cleanup (thanks @citrocat!)
• Hybrid Log Token Usage - Rebuild token usage from denormalized columns in hybrid log list (thanks @G-XD!)
• MCP Tool Ordering - Deterministic MCP tool ordering for prompt cache stability
• MCP Inline-Auth Links - Warn callers not to truncate the #t= temp-token fragment (thanks @MarcusPeng!)
• Gemini Fixes - Web search options map to Google Search grounding, file upload MIME types preserved, and video reference fields map to instances (thanks @vojthor!)
• OpenAI Parameters - Honor service tier in chat completion and cap max reasoning effort
• Anthropic Costing - Correct inference geo cost and cache rate for fast mode
• SecretVar Parsing - Parse SecretVar JSON with ref/env_var fields even when value is absent
• Telemetry - Forward request id and trace id, reduce metrics cardinality explosion risk, and send status codes on OTEL metrics
• Dashboard - Preserve active time period when applying dimension filters, adjust bucket size thresholds for month-range durations, show user popover with preferred_username fallback, filter provider-level keys from the prompt manager selector (thanks @rlex!), skip password validation for redacted credentials, and improve ModelMultiselect empty and error states
• API Key Provider Selection - Fixed provider selection for API keys
• Azure Auth Headers - Pass Azure auth headers in helpers
• Stream Delta Schema - Added ExtraContent to ChatStreamResponseChoiceDelta (thanks @nghodkicisco!)
• API Auth Bypass - Stopped /api/devices bypassing auth via the /api/dev prefix

🗄️ Database Migrations

• add_mcp_client_pending_oauth_config_json_column - Adds pending_oauth_config_json to config_mcp_clients. Reversible: drops the added column.
• merge_oauth_token_tables - Consolidates oauth_tokens and oauth_user_tokens into mcp_oauth_tokens. Non-reversible: rollback deliberately leaves mcp_oauth_tokens in place, because every OAuth read and write targets it from this migration onward and dropping it would destroy any token created or refreshed since, forcing every holder to re-authorize.
• create_mcp_oauth_flows_table - Creates mcp_oauth_flows to track in-flight OAuth flows. Reversible: drops the new table.
• drop_oauth_config_pkce_columns - Drops CSRF state, PKCE verifier and expires_at from the OAuth config table now that they live on mcp_oauth_flows. Non-reversible: forward-only, the dropped values were per-flow ephemeral and re-adding empty columns would restore nothing.
• drop_oauth_config_token_id_column - Drops token_id. Non-reversible: forward-only, it was a pure FK shortcut now reachable via (oauth_config_id, auth_mode).
• add_mcp_admin_auth_mode_indexes - Adds admin partial unique indexes on mcp_oauth_tokens and mcp_per_user_header_credentials. Reversible: drops both indexes.
• add_mcp_client_token_exchange_json_column - Adds token_exchange_json to config_mcp_clients. Reversible: drops the added column.
• add_needs_session_stickiness_column - Adds needs_session_stickiness to config_mcp_clients. Reversible: drops the added column.
• add_bedrock_endpoints_columns - Adds Bedrock VPC endpoint columns to the keys table. Reversible: drops the added columns.
• add_cost_per_request_pricing_column - Adds cost_per_request to model pricing. Reversible: drops the added column.
• add_notifications_table - Creates the notifications table for the dashboard notification center. Reversible: drops the table.
• add_batch_jobs_table - Creates batch_jobs with a unique (provider, batch_id) identity index, a sweeper scan index and a runner-id index. Reversible: drops the table.
• add_image_megapixel_tier_pricing_columns - Adds the five output_cost_per_image_above_{4,8,16,32,64}_megapixels columns to model pricing. Reversible: drops the added columns.
• add_input_cost_per_query_column - Adds input_cost_per_query to model pricing for rerank. Reversible: drops the added column.
• add_ultrafast_pricing_columns - Adds the four *_ultrafast token rate columns to model pricing. Reversible: drops the added columns.
• add_image_size_quality_pricing_columns - Adds the 14 per-size and size+quality image output rate columns to model pricing. Reversible: drops the added columns.
• add_batch_jobs_attribution_columns - Adds user_id, team_id, customer_id and source_log_id to batch_jobs plus a user_id index. Reversible: drops the index and the four columns.

• logs_add_guardrail_debug_column - Adds guardrail_debug to logs. Reversible: drops the added column.
• mcp_tool_logs_add_redaction_mapping_column - Adds the redaction mapping column to MCP tool logs. Non-reversible: rollback is a no-op because dropping the column would permanently destroy reveal data for already-redacted MCP logs.
• logs_add_user_agent_column - Adds user agent and app columns, their indexes, and a UserAgentMapping table. Reversible: drops the indexes and the mapping table.
• mcp_tool_logs_add_user_agent_column - Adds user agent and app columns plus indexes to MCP tool logs. Reversible: drops both indexes and the app column.
• logs_recreate_matviews_with_app_column - Recreates the log materialized views to include the user agent and app columns. Rollback is a no-op because ensureMatViews recreates them on next startup.
• mcp_tool_logs_add_endpoint_columns - Adds source, decision, app_key and device_id to MCP tool logs. Reversible: drops all four columns.
• mcp_tool_logs_add_plugin_logs_column - Adds plugin_logs to MCP tool logs. Reversible: drops the added column.
• logs_add_video_edit_input_column - Adds video_edit_input to logs. Reversible: drops the added column.
• logs_add_upstream_and_overhead_latency_columns - Adds upstream_latency and overhead_latency to logs. Reversible: drops both columns.
• logs_add_batch_debug_column - Adds batch_debug to logs. Reversible: drops the added column.
• logs_add_cost_breakdown_columns - Adds input_cost, output_cost and additional_cost to logs. Reversible: drops the three columns.
• logs_recreate_matviews_with_cost_breakdown - Marks the hourly matview for rebuild with the cost split columns; repairMatViewShapes drops and recreates mv_logs_hourly on the next startup. Rollback is a no-op because ensureMatViews recreates it on next startup.
• logs_add_overhead_breakdown_column - Adds overhead_breakdown to logs. Reversible: drops the added column.

• feat: add the VideoEdit operation with BifrostVideoEditRequest, VideoEditInput and VideoEditParameters for prompt-driven edits, upscaling and background removal on an existing video supplied as bytes, a URL or a provider video ID; implemented for OpenAI (/v1/videos/edits) and Runware (videoInference, upscale, removeBackground), with the model optional when the source is a video ID and the prompt optional for asset-driven task types (#6270)
• feat: batch accounting: MergeBifrostLLMUsage promoted to schemas, Endpoint on BifrostBatchResultsResponse, BatchResultItem.Failed(), BatchRequestCountsFromResults, BatchRequestCounts.IsZero(), raw-JSON Gemini batch result parsing and custom_id validation in ConvertRequestsToJSONL; the settlement engine (AccountBatchResults with runner-ID ownership fencing, idempotent aggregate log writes and governance reporting) and a sweeper that polls due jobs with capped, jittered backoff; aggregate log entries carry a bifrost/<version> user agent via BifrostContextKeyRuntimeVersion (thanks @SahilChoudhary22!) (#5291, #5294, #6474)
• feat: Claude-on-Vertex batch support: ToVertexBatchCreateRequest resolves Anthropic families to publishers/anthropic/models/..., vertexConvertRequestsToJSONL emits Claude-on-Vertex instances, custom_id round-trips through batchResultsByKey, and GeminiBatchGenerateContentRequest keeps tools, toolConfig, cachedContent, labels and the display name (#5368)
• feat: add HTTPTransportPreAuthHook to the HTTPTransportPlugin interface, a phase that runs before transport authentication; HTTPTransportPreHook now runs after it (#6375)
  Breaking for plugin authors: Go plugins implementing HTTPTransportPlugin must add HTTPTransportPreAuthHook (.so plugins that predate it are skipped for that phase), and any plugin that injected a credential such as x-bf-vk or Authorization from HTTPTransportPreHook must move that work to HTTPTransportPreAuthHook, since the pre-hook no longer runs before auth.
• feat: add semaphore_size and inject_timeout to PluginConfig so observability Inject calls are context-bounded per plugin (#6341)
• feat: Runware provider expansion: chat completions, streaming and Responses through its OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint (Responses muxed via ToChatRequest()), ListModels sweeping the curated modelSearch catalog with the AIR as the model ID, image upscale via /v1/images/edits (type=upscale) and image-to-3D via /v1/videos (type=3d), a shared settings extra-param coercion for multipart and JSON callers, prompt-optional asset-driven operations, and input handling for edit, upscale and video task shapes (#6260, #6372, #6208)
• feat: OpenAI ultrafast service tier: BifrostServiceTierUltrafast, capability-gated forwarding via serviceTierForModel on chat, Responses and compaction, and ultrafast preserved through WithDefaults (#6396)
• feat: JSON bodies on /v1/images/edits: ImageInput accepts a bare string or { "url", "image" }, typed extra params reach providers with their real types, and images is a known field (#6418)
• feat: EmbeddingData.EncodingFormat with typed int8, uint8, binary, ubinary and base64 vectors; Bedrock Titan V2 embeddingTypes and Cohere embedding_types on Converse, native invoke and LangChain BedrockEmbeddings compatibility (#6381)
• feat: rerank: RerankDocument.Data for structured documents, RerankResult.ID, RerankParameters.NextToken, ReturnDocuments forwarded to Cohere and Vertex, ToCohereError for Cohere-shaped errors, /genai/v1/rank served cross-provider via x-model-provider, cross-provider responses converted back to the caller’s wire shape with ToBedrockRerankResponse, ToCohereRerankResponse and ToVertexRankResponse, and rerank cost accounting for Bedrock and Cohere (#6301, #6328)
• feat: datasheet-backed compatibility flows: Anthropic, Bedrock, Cohere and Gemini request shaping (adaptive-only thinking, adaptive thinking, native effort, disable-reasoning, mid-conversation system turns, computer-use and text-editor tool generations, default max output tokens, tool validation, thinking-budget zeroing) is resolved through schemas.ResolveModelCaps instead of hardcoded model-name checks (#6281, #6492)
• feat: Gemini 3 per-model thinkingLevel support table (geminiThinkingLevelSupport) with clampThinkingLevel snapping requested levels to the nearest rung (ties break upward) and lowestThinkingLevel for reasoning_effort: "none", so setThinkingBudgetZeroIfSupported sets the floor level on Gemini 3+ instead of zeroing thinkingBudget (#6280)
• feat: Bifrost overhead latency accounting: upstream_latency and overhead_latency on BifrostResponseExtraFields (PopulateOverheadLatency, BifrostContextKeyRequestStartTime, populateLatencyExtraFields so logging plugins see both at hook time); per-phase overhead spans across the request pipeline (queue-wait, attribute-population, convertor, request-marshal, response-parse, handle-setup, pipeline-pre, pipeline-post, worker-setup, key-pool, Bedrock request-sign and credentials-fetch, response-finalize) with StampWorkerHandoff on ChannelMessage.sentAt; lock-free stream overhead accumulators for per-chunk parse, conversion and backpressure installed via ResetStreamOverhead, StampStreamTransport for the outbound marshal and client-write time, and defaultSSEDataReader.ReadDataLine attributing socket reads to upstream; and IsOverheadBreakdownSpan, WithoutOverheadBreakdownSpans and the OverheadSpanConsumer interface so breakdown spans stay out of connectors that do not opt in (#5533, #6388, #6389, #6433, #6470, #6495)
• feat: input/output/additional cost split (BifrostCost) on inference usages, extended to speech, transcription and OCR usages
• feat: Notification, NotificationInput, NotificationSeverity, NotificationAudience and the NotificationPublisher function type for the dashboard notification center (#6207)
• feat: BifrostContextKeySkipModelCheck short-circuits the virtual key model allowlist for evaluate-only requests such as /inspect while keeping every other governance rule (#6479)
• feat: HarnessSessionHeaders and MaxSessionIDLength so Claude Code, Codex CLI and OpenCode session headers can fall back into the session ID (#6333)
• feat: RedactSensitiveHeaders, with IsSensitiveHeader extended to Cloudflare Access (cf-access-*), AWS ALB OIDC (x-amzn-oidc-*) and generic jwt/assertion headers (#6371)
• feat: ResponsesResponseError.Type and a shared Responses stream-error normalizer so terminal error/response.failed events inside an HTTP 200 Azure SSE stream surface as errors with their nested type, code and message on both create-stream and retrieve-stream paths (thanks @dani29!) (#6302)
• feat: ServiceTier on StreamAccumulatorResult, with Anthropic’s service_tier from message_start latched onto the final chunk of chat and Responses streams (#6236)
• feat: OpenRouter speech and transcription through the OpenAI-compatible audio handlers instead of returning unsupported-operation errors (#5734)
• fix: preserve max_tokens for OpenCode-compatible chat endpoints (thanks @Alex-wangyang!) (#6458)
• fix: HuggingFace chat streaming completed with zero tokens and therefore zero cost while non-streaming calls on the same models priced correctly, for two reasons: HuggingFace was listed as a provider that omits the [DONE] marker (it sends one), which made the shared OpenAI streaming loop break on the first finish_reason and discard the trailing usage-only chunk that several router inference providers emit; and stream_options.include_usage never reached the router because the shared streaming handler returns early when a provider supplies a custom request converter. Both are corrected, and an explicit stream_options from the caller still wins (thanks @elliottrabac!) (#6478)
• fix: preserve the caller’s JSON Schema key order for structured outputs - ChatParameters.UnmarshalJSON holds response_format as raw bytes and the new ChatResponseFormat reader splices them verbatim into OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, Gemini (unless a union type array needs normalizing) and Cohere requests, and ResponsesTextConfigFormatJSONSchema re-encodes in the decoded key sequence, because OpenAI structured outputs generate fields in the declared order and a re-sorted schema silently changes model behavior (#6235)
• fix: open reasoning stream items that carry both an encrypted payload and a visible summary as thinking blocks instead of redacted_thinking on the Anthropic egress, with isReasoningItem and reasoningPayloadAndSummary shared by the native-reasoning and misclassified-function-call branches (#6292)
• fix: replayed thinking blocks through the Anthropic ingress with a bedrock/ model prefix: content-less tool_result blocks are kept, interleaved text/tool-use/thinking order is preserved by the grouped converter, incomplete maps to error on Converse toolResult.status, and buffered reasoning is consumed by the item that owns it, so multi-turn tool use no longer wedges (#6346)
• fix: Gemini/Vertex HTTP 400s on Claude Code traffic routed through /anthropic/v1/messages: trailing assistant prefills are trimmed on both the Responses and chat paths, mid-conversation system messages are inlined in place instead of hoisted into systemInstruction, and AnthropicMessageResponse gains ExtraFields (#6363)
• fix: alias Bedrock toolUseId/toolResultId values longer than 64 characters or outside [a-zA-Z0-9_.:-] (such as Gemini thought-signature IDs) with a deterministic hash prefix, applied identically on tool_use and tool_result in both the Responses and chat converters (#6300)
• fix: route Grok (xai.) models through the openai/v1 Mantle path on Bedrock and Bedrock Mantle, since they have no Converse equivalent (#6022)
• fix: register Bedrock Mantle in ProviderSendsDoneMarker so its streams end after finish_reason instead of waiting for a [DONE] marker (#6021)
• fix: include OpenRouter embedding models from /v1/embeddings/models in ListModels, merged case-insensitively and best-effort (#6264)
• fix: force reasoning.effort to "none" for models that reason by default but do not support reasoning with tool calls when they advertise supports_none_reasoning_effort, instead of dropping reasoning outright (#6293)
• fix: backfill upscale output resolution on Replicate from the target/factor params and metrics.resolution_target bands so resolution-tiered pricing bills the real output size (#6083)
• fix: filter forwarded Accept-Encoding to the codecs CheckAndDecodeBody can decode (gzip, x-gzip, deflate, br, zstd, identity), restrict streaming endpoints to gzip/identity via SetPassthroughHeadersForStreaming, and decode chained content encodings in reverse order (#6360)
• fix: tool_sync_interval handling: negative values are rejected (the “disable sync” semantic is gone now that the connection checker drives discovery and liveness together), ResolveToolSyncInterval follows the global setting for sub-second values, a fresh per-call checker starts on EnableClient and on a sticky-to-per-call flip, and MCPManager.UpdateToolSyncInterval, ConnectionCheckerManager.SetGlobalInterval/ApplyGlobalInterval/RetimeClient and ClientConnectionChecker.SetHealthyInterval hot-reload the global cadence and re-time running checkers in place; GetMCPConfig carries the stored global interval (#6502)
• fix: SetClientTools and UpdateClientCredentials replace the MCP tool map instead of maps.Copy-merging into it, so a tool removed upstream is evicted from memory once the database has dropped it (#6484)
• fix: per-call shared-credential MCP clients (oauth, headers, none) refresh tools synchronously on credential update instead of returning ErrMCPReconnectNotApplicable; disabled per-call clients and per-user auth types keep the sentinel (#6483)
• fix: park a failed EnableClient dial at Disabled instead of Unstable, add ErrMCPEnableConnectFailed so callers do not roll back the persisted disabled flag, and guard isEnableable on both state and config so the admin can retry (#6431)
• fix: output_item.done replaces server-side tool item shells (web_search_call, code_interpreter_call, image_generation_call) in the Responses streaming accumulator so their full payload survives (#6475)
• feat: send s3:// image and document references to Bedrock Converse as the s3Location source member instead of downloading the bytes and re-uploading them - Converse resolves the object itself, which skips a round trip and the 25 MiB inline cap entirely. Image format is derived from the object extension since nothing is fetched and there is no Content-Type to read, and an extension-less object is rejected up front rather than producing an opaque 400 (#6239)
• feat: resolve Vertex URL sources per model family rather than inlining everything - a gs:// URI is now forwarded to Gemini/Gemma as fileData.fileUri (the documented form, resolved under the caller’s own project IAM, and the only thing that keeps multi-hundred-MB video inputs viable) and read from Cloud Storage with the request key’s own Google credentials for Claude-on-Vertex, which accepts base64 sources only. http(s) is still always fetched: forwarding one was measured against the harness and Vertex rejected every endpoint shape with URL_REJECTED-REJECTED_FC_TOO_MANY_PENDING (#6239)
• fix: always emit a Gemini candidate carrying its finish reason on generateContent, even when nothing visible was generated - a thinking model that spends its whole output budget before emitting a token is a successful 200 with an empty answer, but Candidates is omitempty, so dropping that candidate produced a body with no candidates key at all and left a lone usageMetadata object that every Gemini-shaped client dereferences blind (#6239)
• fix: drop payload-free Gemini parts when assembling a candidate - every Part field is omitempty, so such a part marshals to exactly {}; the harness observed one on the wire when a transcription request for an unintelligible tone came back as parts:[{}], where it is noise a client will try to read and it masks the contentless case by making the parts slice look non-empty (#6239)
• fix: accept a bare model identifier on Bedrock rerank by synthesizing the foundation-model ARN from the resolved region - Rerank is the one Bedrock surface that names its model by ARN rather than by bare ID, so all three rerank drop-ins in the provider harness 400’d on amazon.rerank-v1:0. The partition is derived from the region (aws, aws-cn, aws-us-gov) so GovCloud and China build a correct ARN, and an explicit ARN still passes through untouched (#6239)
• fix: stop stripping file_url from OpenAI-shaped chat file blocks on marshal - dropping it produced {"type":"file","file":{}} and an upstream complaint about a missing file_id, which hid the fact that a source had been discarded. Providers that cannot take a URL now say so by name, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint that does accept one keeps working without a Bifrost change (#6239)
• fix: leave URL content sources Bifrost cannot download in place on the OpenAI and native-Anthropic paths instead of failing the request - only http(s) is fetched, and whether a gs://, s3:// or scheme-less reference is usable is the provider’s call, so the source now travels as {"type":"url"} and the platform answers for itself (#6239)
• perf: JSON serialization on the hot path: shared MCP tools cache their serialized bytes on ChatTool (EnsureSerialized, precomputeToolSerialization) so catalog tools are marshalled once, and OrderedMap.MarshalJSON writes compact JSON directly into a buffer with an inline HTML-safe string escaper instead of re-routing every nested map through MarshalSorted, pinned by a byte-identity fuzz harness (#6241, #6242)
• perf: allocation and tracing reductions on the request path: StartSpanID and SpanFromHandle on the tracer with Span.SetAttributes for bulk writes, a resolved-once attribute block in executeRequestWithRetries, reusable worker delivery timers, Span.Reset keeping map capacity, reservedKeys as a set, pre-sized userValues, logging context reads deferred to the final chunk, no redundant fmt.Sprintf in logger calls, cached plugin span names, compact JSON request bodies, math/rand/v2 in GetRandomString, and a HasPluginLogs guard before draining plugin logs (#5657, #5956, #5957, #6211)
• chore: remove the legacy gen_ai.*-namespaced Bifrost-internal attribute constants, AttrPromptTokens/AttrCompletionTokens, AttrLegacyRetryCount and the nanosecond AttrTimeToFirstToken in favor of the canonical bifrost.* keys (#6403)
• chore: build with Go 1.26.6 (#6269)

• feat: batch accounting: the batch_jobs table and its lifecycle store API (UpsertBatchJob, GetBatchJob, ListDueBatchJobs, ClaimBatchJob, MarkBatchJobAggregateLogWritten, MarkBatchJobGovernanceReported, CompleteBatchJob, MarkBatchJobUnpriceable, FailBatchJob) with runner fencing on claimed_at and user_id, team_id, customer_id and source_log_id attribution so settlement carries the creating request’s identity; batch_debug on logs; batch pricing in the model catalog (computeBatchTextCost with catalog batch rates and a 0.5 default ratio, CalculateBatchCostDetailsForUsage, BatchResultsRequest routed through the batch path); and persistRecalcOutcomes shared by foreground and background recalculation (thanks @SahilChoudhary22!) (#5292, #5293, #6505)
• feat: input/output/additional cost split: denormalized input_cost, output_cost and additional_cost columns on logs, carried through matviews, ClickHouse, the hybrid store, cost recalculation and the quota API, populated on fallback billing paths, with semantic cache cost folded into additional cost
• feat: Bifrost overhead latency: upstream_latency and overhead_latency columns on logs with avg, p90, p95 and p99 overhead aggregates in mv_logs_hourly, ClickHouse, Postgres percentile_cont and the Go-side SQLite/MySQL histograms, the overhead_breakdown column for the per-span self-time decomposition, and CompleteAndFlushTrace handing connectors a copy of the trace without breakdown spans unless the plugin implements OverheadSpanConsumer (#5533, #5534, #6388, #6389)
• feat: video_edit_input column on logs for the new video edit request type (#6270)
• feat: new pricing columns and cost computation: megapixel-tier image fields (output_cost_per_image_above_{4,8,16,32,64}_megapixels) with a unified pixel-count tier ladder in computeImageOutputCost; per-size and joint size+quality image rates for 1024x1536 and 1536x1024 with a priority chain of size+quality, quality-only, size-only, then flat per-image rate, and parseImageDimensions so portrait and landscape sizes with equal pixel counts price correctly; input_cost_per_query for rerank; and ultrafast service tier rates (#6082, #6379, #6396)
• feat: notifications store: TableNotification, NotificationStore, CreateNotification and ListNotifications with JSON-serialized role IDs (#6207)
• feat: gencache generation-stamped memo cache, with GetProvidersForModel and GetModelsForProvider memoized until any backing store advances its write generation (#5641, #6224)
• feat: DimensionScope in queryscope and applyDimensionCeiling on rankings, histograms and key-pair queries so grouped analytics only expose organisation ids the caller may see; getAvailableFilterData no longer passes an empty id list to the redaction lookups, which returned every row (#6262)
• feat: ObservabilityLimits (per-plugin semaphore size and inject timeout) with context-bounded Inject calls and DeadlineExceeded accounting (#6341)
• feat: GetSharedOauthTokensByConfigIDs batch lookup on the config store so shared-OAuth MCP clients project needs_reauth when their token row is invalidated (#6429)
• feat: mcp_library_sync_interval: 0 disables MCP library sync (MCPLibrarySyncDisabled), file:// catalog URLs resolve through datasheet.FilePathFromURL without retry backoff, and ResolveFrameworkPricingConfig no longer backfills a zero interval (#6195)
• feat: ReloadComplexityAnalyzerConfig on ServerCallbacks for the routing handler (#6146)
• feat: service_tier copied from the processed stream response into StreamAccumulatorResult in ProcessStreamingChunk (#6236)
• fix: resolve runtime provider together (and variants such as together_ai, matched with strings.Contains) to the datasheet identity for catalog reads and price configured aliases through AliasConfig.ModelName, then ModelID, then the alias key (thanks @dani29!) (#6257, #6320)
• fix: escape every RediSearch special character in TAG query values in the Redis vector store, iterating bytes rather than runes (thanks @AdityaPainuli!) (#5351)
• fix: redact sensitive and identity-aware-proxy request headers at SetTraceRequestHeaders so every connector (Datadog, OTEL, BigQuery, Kafka, Pub/Sub) receives redacted values (#6371)
• fix: supports_none_reasoning_effort datasheet flag wired through extractSupportedParams and dropUnsupportedParams so models that reason by default get reasoning.effort: "none" instead of losing reasoning (#6293)
• fix: reject negative tool_sync_interval at UpdateMCPClientConfig and on config file load, treat the value as whole minutes, and carry the stored global interval into GetMCPConfig (#6409, #6502)
• perf: spanHandle carries the *Span pointer so EndSpan, SetAttribute and SpanFromHandle skip the per-call trace and span scan, alongside bulk span attribute writes and reusable delivery timers in the tracing hot path (#5657, #5956, #6387)
• chore: remove legacy gen_ai.* attribute emission from the tracer in favor of the canonical bifrost.* keys (#6403)
• chore: close leaked Postgres pools and a stale hardcoded date in logstore tests (#6351)
• chore: build with Go 1.26.6 (#6269)
• chore: upgraded core to v1.8.0

• fix: force reasoning.effort to "none" in dropUnsupportedParams when a model supports reasoning but not reasoning_with_tool_calls and advertises supports_none_reasoning_effort; models without the flag still have reasoning dropped (#6293)
• fix: clone json.RawMessage values (such as a raw response_format) in the request copier so the compat clone never shares a backing array with the original request (#6235)
• feat: add a no-op HTTPTransportPreAuthHook for the new pre-authentication transport phase (#6375)
• chore: upgraded core to v1.8.0 and framework to v1.6.0

• feat: routing rules and the complexity router are extracted into the dedicated routing plugin: governance now runs at priority 4 and routing at 5, PublishRoutingAllowlist and LoadBalanceProvider are exported on GovernancePlugin and BaseGovernancePlugin and are called from the routing plugin after rule evaluation instead of from governance’s PreRequestHook, runPreRequestRouting is removed, and ReloadRoutingRule, RemoveRoutingRule and the routing rule and complexity analyzer handlers leave GovernanceManager and GovernanceHandler for RoutingHandler under /api/routing/* (with deprecated /api/governance/* aliases) (#6144, #6145, #6146)
• feat: batch usage reporting: ReportBatchUsage applies settled batch cost, tokens and requests to every budget and rate limit on a BatchUsageReport exactly once per request ID via a claim/release marker with a 7-day TTL, and charges the creating user’s tiers when UserID is present; BumpBudgetUsage and BumpRateLimitUsage are added to GovernanceStore; governance IDs, including VK-scoped, user-scoped and global wildcard budgets and rate limits, are collected for batch-create requests that carry no model (thanks @SahilChoudhary22!) (#5295, #6410, #6505)
• feat: honor BifrostContextKeySkipModelCheck in EvaluateVirtualKeyRequest so evaluate-only requests such as /inspect bypass the model allowlist while budgets, rate limits and provider checks still apply (#6479)
• feat: add a no-op HTTPTransportPreAuthHook for the new pre-authentication transport phase (#6375)
• chore: upgraded core to v1.8.0 and framework to v1.6.0

• feat: add a no-op HTTPTransportPreAuthHook for the new pre-authentication transport phase (#6375)
• chore: upgraded core to v1.8.0 and framework to v1.6.0

• feat: batch accounting: recordBatchJobLifecycle persists batch state on create and retrieve, accountBatchResults settles costs inline on the /results path under a 30-second bound, StartBatchAccountingSweeper re-drives jobs that timed out with a per-runner ownership identity, EmitBatchAggregateLog writes the aggregate cost entry with the creating request’s identity and a bifrost/<version> user agent, calculateBatchAggregateCost reprices Model="mixed" rows per model breakdown during cost recalculation (foreground and background, via the shared persistRecalcOutcomes), and batch_debug is included in list queries; Init takes a batchStore (nil disables batch accounting) (thanks @SahilChoudhary22!) (#5296, #6121, #6474, #6505)
• feat: input/output/additional cost split persisted on every log and surfaced as cost_breakdown in the log detail API, with cached-read, reasoning, guardrail, MCP and semantic cache detail; fallback billing paths, speech, transcription and OCR usages populate the split, and legacy total-only rows are attributed to input cost (#6511)
• feat: Bifrost overhead latency: upstream_latency and overhead_latency forwarded from PostLLMHook and backfilled from the root span’s authoritative attributes in Inject, stamped only on the terminal entry per trace; computeOverheadBreakdown walks the span tree, computes self-time per span, groups overhead-side spans into buckets (serialization, middleware, plugins, queue wait, key selection, convertor, networking, client delivery, scheduling, worker hand-off, provider-internal) and persists them to overhead_breakdown, with streaming traces folding parse, convert, backpressure, transport CPU and client-write time into their own buckets and using the measured sum as overhead; ConsumesOverheadSpans returns true so the plugin keeps receiving breakdown spans that other connectors no longer see (#5533, #6388, #6389, #6433, #6470, #6495)
• feat: service_tier from streamed Anthropic responses flows through convertToProcessedStreamResponse into the log entry so repricing uses the served tier (#6236)
• feat: video edit requests are logged with their input (#6270)
• perf: identity and governance context reads are deferred past the non-final-chunk gate in PostLLMHook, and JSON encoding in HTTP helpers uses sonic (#5957, #6268)
• feat: add a no-op HTTPTransportPreAuthHook for the new pre-authentication transport phase (#6375)
• chore: upgraded core to v1.8.0 and framework to v1.6.0

• feat: addLatencyTags forwards upstream_latency_ms and overhead_latency_ms as tags on both the generation and the trace, leaving unmeasured values unreported (#6345)
• fix: sensitive and identity-aware-proxy request headers are redacted in PostLLMHook before export (#6371)
• feat: add a no-op HTTPTransportPreAuthHook for the new pre-authentication transport phase (#6375)

• feat: bifrost_overhead_latency_microseconds histogram derived from the root span’s overhead attribute, with a microsecond-scale bucket set (#6345)
• chore: remove the legacy gen_ai.*-namespaced Bifrost-internal attributes, gen_ai.usage.prompt_tokens/completion_tokens and the nanosecond time_to_first_token attribute; buildSpanAttrs and entitySetFromAttrs read the canonical bifrost.* keys and time_to_first_chunk directly (#6403)
  Dashboards and alerts that read the legacy gen_ai.* Bifrost-internal attributes or the nanosecond TTFT attribute must migrate to the bifrost.* keys and time_to_first_chunk (seconds).
• feat: add a no-op HTTPTransportPreAuthHook for the new pre-authentication transport phase (#6375)
• chore: upgraded core to v1.8.0 and framework to v1.6.0

• feat: add a no-op HTTPTransportPreAuthHook for the new pre-authentication transport phase (#6375)
• chore: upgraded core to v1.8.0 and framework to v1.6.0

• feat: initial release: the routing rules engine (rules/) and the complexity router (complexity/) are extracted from the governance plugin into a dedicated routing plugin that depends on governance through a small Governance interface; it runs at priority 5, after governance has stamped the virtual key scope, and calls PublishRoutingAllowlist and LoadBalanceProvider after rule evaluation so both act on the post-rule model (the HasRules early return moved into applyRoutingRules so provider materialization still runs with no rules configured); routing rules and complexity analyzer config endpoints are served by RoutingHandler at /api/routing/rules and /api/routing/complexity-analyzer-config, with the legacy /api/governance/* paths registered as deprecated aliases on the same handlers (#6144, #6145, #6146)
• feat: complexity routing extracts text from mixed-modality user turns (text plus image, file or audio blocks) instead of skipping the turn, and still produces no input for turns with no text at all (#6253)

• feat: add a no-op HTTPTransportPreAuthHook for the new pre-authentication transport phase (#6375)
• chore: upgraded core to v1.8.0 and framework to v1.6.0

• feat: bifrost_overhead_latency_microseconds histogram measured across the HTTP transport hooks as total request time minus time blocked on upstream provider sockets, with a microsecond-scale bucket set (#6345)
• chore: x-bf-prom-* request headers are no longer consumed as Prometheus label dimensions in collectPrometheusKeyValues and applyCustomLabels (the prefix is still stripped from forwarded requests), and legacy gen_ai.* attribute emission is removed (#6403)
  Deployments that relied on x-bf-prom-* request headers to add Prometheus label dimensions lose those labels; use the supported custom label configuration instead.
