Expose the xAI Imagine image and video surfaces on top of the `xai`
provider, and make the shared OpenAI video-task layer survive the
production configuration they need.
Native video requests live under /v1 (generations, edits, extensions,
with /v1/videos as a creation alias that only selects xAI candidates);
the OpenAI-compatible adapter stays under /openai/v1/videos and maps
`seconds` / `size` onto numeric duration, aspect ratio and resolution.
Clients receive an opaque Aether task ID scoped to the owning user;
polling uses the upstream task ID and the original credential, and
completed downloads fetch the returned media URL without forwarding
provider authorization to the media host.
Three fixes to the shared video layer are required for this to work
outside tests:
- OpenAI/xAI task persistence now supplies a stable 16-character
short_id, which the PostgreSQL schema requires. Existing rows keep
their original value across reconstruction, so no schema change or
historical rewrite is needed.
- Task retrieval and content downloads are admitted by the production
GET execution gate, and reconstructed tasks resolve proxy nodes,
system proxy defaults, tunnel affinity and transport profiles through
the same deployment resolver used for creation. A configured proxy
route no longer silently becomes a direct request after restart.
- When the gateway also serves the frontend, /openai/v1/videos and its
subpaths bypass the static SPA handler. Otherwise a video query
returns HTTP 200 with text/html instead of the task JSON.

Add a separate `xai` provider type for xAI Grok CLI subscription accounts.
It is independent of the existing `grok` provider, which reverse-proxies
grok.com with browser cookies; behavior of `grok` is unchanged.
Account binding uses the xAI device code flow, so no local callback
listener is needed and headless deployments can bind accounts. Refresh
tokens can also be imported individually or in batches, and are rotated
on refresh.
OAuth requests default to the cli-chat-proxy Responses API; API keys and
compact stay on api.x.ai. Explicit custom gateways are preserved. Only
`openai:responses` and `openai:responses:compact` are exposed; Chat,
Claude and Gemini clients reach the provider through Aether's existing
cross-format conversion rather than new native endpoints.
Upstream Responses payloads are sanitized for what xAI actually rejects:
`previous_response_id` and `metadata.user_id` are dropped, hosted
`tool_choice` is rewritten, `web_search` is restored for converted
clients, `image_generation` is stripped on older Grok conversation
models, unsupported reasoning effort is removed, and requested
`reasoning.encrypted_content` is preserved with a replay policy keyed on
the configured provider type rather than the model name.
Quota refresh reads /user and /billing?format=credits and stores a
structured usage snapshot; a prepaid balance keeps an account selectable
after the weekly allowance is exhausted. API-key accounts skip the
subscription billing surface. The admin UI shows remaining weekly quota
as a labeled bar in the provider drawer and the pool list.

Consolidate subscription usage policy enforcement, privacy-safe persistence, and gateway security hardening into one reviewable change.
Includes bounded HTTP and execution envelopes, header and protocol guards, DNS and relay validation, authentication and secret projection hardening, secure backup/install paths, and regression coverage.
Preserve exact request payloads and model client surface and API operation explicitly.
Add Anthropic compatibility profiles, bounded stream commitment, and scoped OAuth retry behavior across provider transports.
