Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR secures remote worker gRPC traffic, but it should not be merged until the route/backend configuration dependency is enforced or explicitly accepted; otherwise deployments can render an unusable LLM route. Several HTTPS, plaintext, and certificate-mode examples also need follow-up to avoid setup errors. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Current-head BDD result at
This appears to be the remaining self-managed wiring needed to consume the remote Watch URI support in #1299. #1310 retains the operator-visible render assertion so the gap stays covered. |

In `@deploy/helm/gateway-routes/README.md`:
- Around line 128-140: The BackendTrafficPolicy documentation incorrectly claims
that maximum stream duration is set to 0s. In
deploy/helm/gateway-routes/README.md lines 128-140, state only that
requestTimeout is set to 0s and remove the maximum-stream-duration claim; make
the same documentation correction in docs/user/gateway-routing.md lines 270-279
by describing the disabled request timeout for Watch and Register streams
without mentioning maximum stream duration.
In `@deploy/stacks/self-managed/global.yaml.gotmpl`:
- Around line 946-958: Add rendering for addons.llm.requestRouter.discovery
under llmRequestRouter, forwarding the configured discovery settings to
self-managed deployments. Preserve the existing render assertion that verifies
operator overrides.
In `@tests/bdd/steps/nvcf_cli_steps.go`:
- Around line 117-139: The retry loop around runNVCFCLI must enforce the
configured deadline for every attempt. Recheck deadline immediately before each
retry, and invoke runNVCFCLI with a context bounded by that deadline so
exec.CommandContext cannot outlive it; preserve existing cancellation and retry
conditions, and update any model-invocation sequence diagram to show the retry
loop if present.
Apply the same fix in `@tests/bdd/steps/nvcf_cli_steps.go` around lines 117 - 138.
