Follow-ups on top of the salvaged #92785 commit:
- Pre-gate now matches base URLs via normalize_route_base_url and
provider ids via custom_provider_aliases, mirroring the semantics of
get_custom_provider_model_capability. The raw string comparison
silently dropped declarations whose config spelling differed only by
host case or trailing slash (proven empirically: …/v1/ vs …/v1 with a
non-matching provider name returned (False, False) despite an explicit
prompt_caching: true).
- get_provider(..., allow_network=False) in the early-init/stub branch:
the policy runs per request destination (MoA aggregator, auxiliary
replans via blank_cache_policy_stub, early agent init) and a cold
models.dev cache triggered a measured ~450 ms foreground registry
fetch from the send path. A catalog miss degrades to the conservative
side.
- Debug-log the previously silent provider-lookup exception fallback.
- Tests: _make_agent defaults _custom_providers=[] (post-init reality;
keeps built-in-route tests off the catalog/config fallback), the two
early-init tests delete the attr explicitly, and three regression
tests pin the URL-drift, spaced-legacy-name, and no-network contracts
(all three fail on the unfixed commit).
