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.

Bound request, stream, queue, and shutdown resource lifetimes. Reduce scheduler and Redis hot-path work and isolate database maintenance. Include regression coverage, load probes, and concurrency audit results.
Share provider DNS policy across WebSocket and connection probes, handle bracketed IPv6 literals, and preserve bounded address sets for outbound clients.
Bound SMTP DNS and TCP setup with multi-address fallback. Add opt-in trusted proxy DNS for tunnel upstreams while retaining default IP ACLs and origin isolation.
Document DNS policy boundaries and verify 809 gateway, tunnel, and HTTP regression tests.
Restore authorized rule reveal, explicit full HTTP capture and retention, video task business fields, and valid payment URLs. Add opt-in credential preservation for trusted recovery, fix frontend type contracts and async races, and eliminate PostgreSQL test fixture resource leaks. Document audit coverage and successful fmt and CI-scoped Clippy checks.
Revalidate control policy per turn, isolate downstream credentials, and make planner/turn ownership cancellation-safe.
Preserve opaque protocol events, align configurable timeout semantics, and extend end-to-end security and settlement coverage.
