v1.1.17

[1.1.17] — 2026-07-06

Provider readiness closeout — the eighth and final phase of the provider-readiness remediation. A hygiene and quality release: shared validators, dead-code removal, broad test coverage, and one security hardening. It contains a single behavior change (the Ollama Cloud chat surface), noted under Changed.

Security

• Gemini now authenticates native calls with the x-goog-api-key header instead of the ?key= query parameter. The key was previously part of the request URL, where it could be recorded in request-URL span attributes and proxy access logs. Authentication is otherwise unchanged and the key no longer appears in any request URL.

Changed

• Ollama Cloud chat now uses the OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions and /v1/models endpoints instead of the native /api/chat and /api/tags, recovering full sampling-parameter coverage, normalized finish reasons, and real upstream tool-call IDs. Embeddings remain on the native /api/embed endpoint; the base URL (https://ollama.com) and the OLLAMA_API_KEY environment variable are unchanged. Direction credited to community PR #243.
• Transport presets added for Azure AI Foundry, Ollama Cloud, and Perplexity so large-model and long-running first responses are not aborted by the default 30-second header timeout.

Fixed

• Gemini and Vertex AI image generation now surface the returned safety-filter reason when every prediction is filtered, instead of a generic "no images" error.

Internal

• Shared core.NormalizeEmbeddingInput and core.ValidateEmbeddingEncodingFormat replace duplicated per-provider embedding validators (Azure OpenAI and Databricks keep their stricter local validators by design). Extracted chatParams()/headers() helpers (xAI, Moonshot, OpenRouter, Novita) and a Vertex AI doPredict() helper; OpenAI chat request bodies now use the pooled buffer path. Removed dead code (Bedrock section banners and unused image fields, AI21 Jurassic token detail, a Cloudflare field, a duplicate Together model id) and split the Gemini embedding path into its own file to stay under the file-size limit. Added request-shape, error-path, and shared streaming error-path tests across many providers.
