Patch level: no field or env key was removed or renamed, no port
signature moved, and the API stays backward compatible -- what changed
is the telemetry data contract, which the changelog spells out for
downstream cost rollups.
Round two of the from_env-only validation problem. Fifteen checks still lived
in the env parsing functions: six enum domains, the redis_url requirement for
redis-backed limiter/breaker/cache, cache namespace and TTL, telemetry path and
DSN, non-negative structured retries and non-blank scope. from_settings and
direct construction bypassed all of them.
The five asserts in client.py that claimed config had already validated
redis_url and the telemetry targets now hold on every path, so they revert to
what CLAUDE.md permits: internal invariant declarations that also narrow the
Optional for type checkers. Their comments now name the method that guarantees
them, since the previous wording is exactly what went stale.
Postgres DSNs built by hand now get the SQLAlchemy +driver suffix stripped the
way from_env has always stripped it, with a warning so the rewrite is not
silent. The env path strips earlier, so it stays quiet.
Patch release for the settings invariant fix. The changelog carries a separate
'behaviour tightening' section because a patch number gives downstreams no
warning that construction can now raise where it previously did not.
Classify empty completions as transient per human ruling (fixes flaky
real-gateway smoke and prevents caching empty responses), rename the
factory injection parameter gate to breaker per the frozen design,
rewrite the probe-entry cleanup without except BaseException, declare
python-dotenv explicitly, add a mid-backoff cancellation test, and
record all implementation errata in the design and architecture docs.
Includes config aggregation for multi-source env keys, from_env and
from_settings factories with explicit shared-backend injection,
gather_bounded, top-level exports, tightened import-linter layers with
the gate removed from the Makefile, and the finalized .env.example.
