Require dashboard session cookies on protected management APIs and
reject bearer API keys with explicit 403 responses to prevent
privilege escalation across provider, settings, and model alias routes.
Add a dedicated payload rules management surface with dashboard UI,
OpenAPI documentation, route normalization, and tests for hot-reloaded
runtime updates.
Consolidate provider catalog metadata for dashboard pages, add
Perplexity web-cookie provider support, retire the legacy provider
creation page, and improve upstream proxy handling.
Harden startup and runtime behavior by moving cloud sync bootstrap to
server instrumentation, skipping background services during build/test,
making models.dev sync abortable, pruning isolated build artifacts, and
improving DB backup and recovery safeguards.
