Provider Integration Checklist

Goal

Ship provider and routing changes without regressions in auth, config, and model selection.

Change Checklist

• Add config keys and defaults in one place.
• Validate config resolution order (env > DB > default where applicable).
• Validate model identifier parsing and normalization.
• Validate routing defaults, task overrides, and fallback chains.
• Validate auth flow behavior for both success and failure paths.
• Validate token/secret handling and redaction behavior.

Compatibility Checklist

• Keep existing providers unaffected.
• Keep unknown-provider errors actionable.
• Keep provider-specific errors distinguishable.
• Keep docs and examples aligned with actual config keys.

Verification Checklist

• Narrow tests for changed provider/routing/auth paths.
• Negative-path tests for invalid config and auth failures.
• Smoke path proving model call routes to expected backend.
• Broad gate checks after targeted checks pass.

Required Handoff

• Config keys changed
• Routing behavior changed
• Auth behavior changed
• Verification evidence
• Docs updated
