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.
Use PostgreSQL as the only database backend across runtime, schema tooling, installation, Compose, and CI. Update regression tests and reject removed drivers explicitly.
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.
Bootstrap an enabled system-default routing group from the legacy
scheduler config keys on startup, resolve the default ordering config
from that group before falling back to the legacy keys, and stop merging
keep_priority_on_conversion with the legacy flag when a policy is
resolved. Thread the policy-derived ordering config into candidate
preselection so it no longer reads system config independently.
Add per-API-format key priority overrides so a key serving several
formats keeps independent ordering, matching the legacy
global_priority_by_format semantics. Expose keep_priority_on_conversion
in the routing profile editor and read the effective policy in the
model routing preview, monitoring metrics and provider page badge.
