[Feature]: OpenRouter Infrastructure-Provider Filtering (ZDR / Zero Data Retention) #16645

Description

@SiinXu

Background

When using OpenRouter as a provider, Cherry has no way to constrain which underlying infrastructure providers OpenRouter routes a request to, nor to require Zero Data Retention (ZDR). Users with compliance or privacy requirements need to ensure requests only go to infrastructure providers that meet their data-retention policy; today every request may be routed to any provider OpenRouter chooses.

Goal

Users can restrict OpenRouter requests to infrastructure providers that meet their policy — including requiring Zero Data Retention — from the OpenRouter provider settings.

Spec

  • OpenRouter provider settings expose controls to filter or allow which infrastructure providers may serve requests.
  • Users can require Zero Data Retention (ZDR), so requests are only routed to providers that don't retain data.
  • The chosen policy is applied to every request sent through that OpenRouter provider.
  • When no provider can satisfy the policy, the request fails with a clear reason rather than silently falling back to a non-compliant provider.

Verification

  • Enable "require ZDR" → requests are routed only to ZDR-capable infrastructure providers; a non-ZDR provider is never used.
  • Restrict to a specific set of infrastructure providers → requests use only those.
  • Set a policy that no provider satisfies → the request fails with a clear message, not a silent non-compliant fallback.
