fix: discover LiteLLM providers registered after plugin setup

[cardin]

Fixes #34

Problem

On OpenCode 2.0.x the plugin reads provider.list() exactly once, inside setup — but the host registers user-configured providers after plugin setup. So with the config documented as "Minimal config (recommended)":

"providers": { "litellm": { "settings": { "baseURL": "http://127.0.0.1:4123/v1" } } }

matchingProviders ends up empty, candidates becomes [undefined], autoDetectLiteLLM() probes localhost:4000/8000/8080, finds nothing, and no provider is registered → Model unavailable: litellm/<model>.

Measured against a real OpenCode 2.0.19 install with a mock LiteLLM proxy (published 1.4.0):

Configuration	Proxy /v1/models hits	Result
providers.litellm.settings.baseURL (documented recommended)	0	❌ Model unavailable
plugins: [{ package, options: { baseURL } }]	2	✅ works
LITELLM_BASE_URL env var (Quickstart)	2	✅ works

Runtime timeline observed with an instrumented plugin:

setup called           -> provider.list() = [opencode]
event   provider.updated                          (+74 ms)
provider.list() at +500ms      = [opencode, litellm]   ← settings.baseURL present

Because sources ends up empty, the session.created background refresh cannot recover either — it iterates the same empty list.

Fix

Reconcile instead of snapshot:

• sources becomes a Map<providerId, ProviderSource>
• new listMatchingProviders() / reconcileProviderSources() re-read the registry and discover any LiteLLM-shaped provider not yet built (idempotent: already-known ids are skipped)
• reconciliation runs on provider.updated and defensively on session.created, publishing discoveries with provider.reload()
• overlapping triggers are folded into a single queued follow-up pass, so a provider appearing mid-discovery is neither missed nor discovered twice
• the existing option/env fallback is kept for the case where no provider is visible yet

Verification

• New regression test registers providers that only appear after setup (provider.updated) models the real ordering — provider.list() returns [] during setup, the provider arrives on provider.updated. It fails on current main (expected "vi.fn()" to be called once, but got 0 times) and passes with this change; it also asserts a burst of two provider.updated events triggers exactly one discovery (3 requests: health + models + model/info).
• Full suite passes: npm run typecheck && npm test (71 tests).
• End-to-end against a real OpenCode 2.0.19 process with a mock proxy: the previously broken config now discovers models and completes a chat completion.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Providers that become available after initial setup are detected automatically, including after provider updates and when starting a new session.
  • Newly discovered providers can appear without restarting the app.
• Bug Fixes
  • When a configured provider becomes available for a source previously supplied by an environment-based fallback, the configured provider’s connection details are used instead.
  • Provider discovery retries after registry reload failures, while preserving existing credential-switch behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The V2 plugin rechecks configured LiteLLM providers during setup, provider.updated, and session.created. It tracks fallback sources, coalesces overlapping reconciliation triggers, and reloads the provider registry when it adds sources.

Changes

Provider reconciliation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Source tracking and setup src/plugin/v2.ts	The plugin marks sources created without a host provider as fallbacks. During setup, it reconciles the provider list and retains option or environment discovery when no configured provider is found.
Event-driven reconciliation and tests src/plugin/v2.ts, test/plugin-v2.test.ts	provider.updated and session.created trigger reconciliation. Overlapping triggers request a follow-up pass. The plugin reloads the registry when it adds sources and clears fallback status only after a successful reload. Tests cover late provider discovery, repeated update events, and replacement of an environment fallback by a configured provider.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bd388

If a provider reload fails once, a late-registered LiteLLM provider may never become available until restart. Fix the retry path before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bd388

A failed provider reload can leave the plugin tracking a configured endpoint without completing its publication or retrying it. This weakens recovery of routing and credential configuration. No unauthorized credential disclosure was established, but the host’s configuration authority and reload guarantees remain unresolved.

Retained concerns

• Medium · reliability · observed: Configured sources become nonretryable before publication succeeds. A failed reload leaves the replacement in the source map with fromFallback=false, so later reconciliation skips it. If the failed reload retains the previous registry state, discovery and runtime routing can remain on different endpoint or credential configurations; session refresh does not guarantee recovery.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The demonstrated state scope is matching provider IDs within the current host context, while publication invokes a host-wide provider reload API. Outbound exposure includes selected API keys and custom headers sent to configured discovery endpoints. Tenant boundaries, reload effects on unrelated providers, and maximum production network exposure remain unestablished.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — The existing credential-bearing discovery path becomes reachable for late matching registry entries. An actor able to supply such an entry can select its endpoint and headers, but the evidence does not establish that this actor has less authority than the credential owner. Unauthorized credential exfiltration or a newly bypassed host control therefore remains unverified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Connection-managed keys are excluded from runtime provider settings, and publication removes a stale settings.apiKey for integration-managed sources. Credential-switch handling selects sources by integration ID. These controls predate the reconciliation change and remain in the head implementation.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Session refresh cannot be relied on to repair failed publication: recent cache entries return early, unchanged discovered models avoid reload, and credential reload requires its own flag. The retry test uses an empty provider list and a changed cached model, so it does not counter the late-provider publication failure.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Separate source origin from publication status. Keep failed publications explicitly pending and retry them independently of model changes; define rollback of the previous published routing state and preserve model ownership provenance during fallback replacement.

Thanks for the detailed write-up and the PR, @cardin — this is a genuinely sharp diagnosis, and the fix lands the reported scenario end-to-end. Really appreciate the time you put into the repro table and the ordering evidence.

I verified the change locally:

• pr35-review @ f512d00: 11/11 tests pass.
• The same new test against current main: fails at test/plugin-v2.test.ts:478 (reload never called; plugin logs "No LiteLLM proxy found"). It's a real regression test that models the late-registration ordering correctly.
• Confirmed the underlying mechanism in the code: context.provider.list() is read exactly once at src/plugin/v2.ts:423-429, the empty list collapses candidates to [undefined] (v2.ts:434-436), and session.created iterates the same empty captured array (v2.ts:516), so it can't self-heal. Also confirmed provider.updated carries an empty payload in the installed @opencode/plugin 2.0.19, so re-listing instead of reading event.data is the right call.
• The subscribe-and-reconcile architecture is the right seam — I'd keep it over deferring setup until the first provider.updated (that adds a startup wait and still needs this event loop, and doesn't solve the fallback issue below).

Before I'd merge, there's one real design issue plus a couple of small robustness items:

1. The fallback source can block the real provider (id collision).
The fallback is inserted into the same id-keyed map (v2.ts:475-478), and reconcileProviderSources skips ids already present (v2.ts:452). So when the fallback succeeds — via LITELLM_BASE_URL, plugin options.baseURL, or a proxy actually listening on 4000/8000/8080 — it occupies id litellm forever and the user's providers.litellm.settings.baseURL is never read, even after the host emits provider.updated. Worse, a later reload runs the update path (v2.ts:493-500) where runtimeSettings force-sets settings.baseURL = ${source.baseURL}/v1`` (v2.ts:198), so the fallback URL actively clobbers the configured one. "Keep the fallback until a provider is visible" needs to become "…and replace it when the real provider shows up" — e.g. tag fallback-derived sources (`fromFallback: true`) and rebuild/replace that map entry on the matching id, including it in `added` so `reload()` republishes the corrected settings. A test for "env/options fallback established at setup, then `provider.updated` reveals `settings.baseURL` — config URL must win" would lock this in.

2. Unhandled rejection risk. reconcileProviderSources isn't wrapped in try/catch inside reconcileOnce; the fire-and-forget void reconcileAndReload() from provider.updated can reject unhandled. A try/catch like the rest of the file would harden it.

3. Coalescing settle→finally gap. A trigger arriving after the do/while evaluates reconcileAgain === false but before .finally nulls reconcileRunning sets the flag on a settled promise and gets dropped. Re-checking reconcileAgain after nulling reconcileRunning closes it. Low severity — self-heals on session.created — but cheap to fix.

Nice-to-haves (happy to file as follow-ups if you'd rather keep this PR focused):

• Kick void reconcileAndReload() once right after context.event.subscribe() — auto-detect probes three ports before subscription, so a provider.updated in that window is currently missed until the next session.created.
• Decide retry semantics for a failed provider.reload() in reconcileOnce; right now the source stays in the map with added empty on every later pass, so a transient reload failure loses the provider until restart. The credential.switched path has retry flags (credentialReloadRequired/refreshRequired); this path has none.
• Consider dropping the exact providerList).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(3) assertion — it couples the test to the coalescing implementation, so a legitimate change to burst debouncing would fail it without breaking the behavior. The observable assertions (1 reload, 1 registration, 3 discovery fetches) are the meaningful ones.
• Worth a comment noting that settings edits to an already-known id are not re-read (pre-existing, not a regression from this PR).

None of this is meant to take away from the quality here — the headline path is correct and the test is solid. Happy to adjust any of the above if you think a different seam reads better; I'm glad to help wire up the fallback replacement or the follow-ups if useful. Thanks again for the thorough report and fix.

Pushed bd3880d with the fixes for the two CodeRabbit findings and the small robustness items I flagged above — all on this same branch, so the PR is now self-contained.

What changed:

1. Fallback no longer blocks the real provider (CodeRabbit chore(ci): bump actions/checkout from 4 to 6 #1 / my item 1). Sources built from option/env/port auto-detection are now tagged fromFallback, and reconcileProviderSources replaces a fallback entry when a host-registered provider with the same id appears. So providers.<id>.settings.baseURL now wins over the guessed endpoint instead of being skipped, and reload() republishes it.
2. Failed publication is retryable (CodeRabbit chore(ci): bump actions/setup-node from 4 to 6 #2 / my item 5). A newly reconciled source is only marked as no-longer-fallback after provider.reload() succeeds. A transient reload failure leaves it pending, so the next provider.updated / session.created retries instead of stranding the provider until restart.
3. Exception guard around the reconcile pass, so the fire-and-forget path can't produce an unhandled rejection.
4. Coalescing settle-window fix: the finally block re-checks the queued flag, so a trigger landing between the loop's last check and the continuation isn't dropped.
5. Setup→subscribe window: one idempotent reconcile right after subscribing, so a provider that registers during setup's auto-detect probes isn't missed.

Added a regression test that sets LITELLM_BASE_URL (fallback wins at setup) and then reveals providers.litellm.settings.baseURL via provider.updated — asserting the config URL supersedes the fallback. It fails against the previous logic (reload called 0 times, because the fallback's litellm id blocked the real provider) and passes with the fix.

Verification on bd3880d: tsc --noEmit clean, full suite 72/72 pass (was 71).

One CodeRabbit item I did not act on: the Docstring Coverage warning (66.67% vs 80%) is scoped to functions touched by the diff and counts the pre-existing helpers; I added doc comments on the new/changed functions, but not padding on unchanged code. Happy to add more if you'd rather clear that check outright.

@cardin — flagging that I pushed directly to your fork branch (fix/discover-late-registered-providers), since maintainer_can_modify is on. If you'd rather cherry-pick or rework any of it, the commit is bd3880d on its own and easy to drop. Thanks again for the original fix — this just closes the remaining gaps.

Good catch — this one was a real bug in my previous commit (bd3880d), not in the original PR. Fixing it in ea11974.

The mechanism was exactly as you described, and for a slightly subtler reason than the comment implied: I keyed "needs publishing" off the fromFallback marker, but a source built from a real host provider gets fromFallback: false immediately. So when reload() failed, the source stayed in the map already marked as configured, and every later reconcile skipped it via the existing && !existing.fromFallback guard — it was never retried. The log message claiming "will retry" was wrong.

What ea11974 does:

• Adds an explicit pendingPublication flag, set when a source is built and cleared only after provider.reload() succeeds. reconcileProviderSources now returns any configured source still pending, so a transient reload failure is genuinely retried on the next provider.updated / session.created. fromFallback goes back to meaning only its original thing (provenance), separate from publication state.
• Clears pendingPublication for sources registered by setup's own transform, since that initial transform is their publication step — otherwise the post-subscribe reconcile would re-reload already-published sources.

Regression test added: provider appears late, the first publication attempt throws, and a later trigger must retry and publish it. It fails against bd3880d (reload called once, never retried) and passes with the fix.

Verification on ea11974: tsc --noEmit clean, full suite 73/73 pass.

I did consider your suggested fix (deleting pending sources on failure) — it works, but rebuilding the source on the next pass means another discovery round-trip and a new cacheKey lookup; keeping it pending reuses the already-discovered source. Either is fine functionally; happy to switch if you prefer the delete approach.
