**This PR changes configurations in a backward incompatible way.**
Run configs today repeat full SQLite/Postgres snippets everywhere a
store is needed, which means duplicated credentials, extra connection
pools, and lots of drift between files. This PR introduces named storage
backends so the stack and providers can share a single catalog and
reference those backends by name.
## Key Changes
- Add `storage.backends` to `StackRunConfig`, register each KV/SQL
backend once at startup, and validate that references point to the right
family.
- Move server stores under `storage.stores` with lightweight references
(backend + namespace/table) instead of full configs.
- Update every provider/config/doc to use the new reference style;
docs/codegen now surface the simplified YAML.
## Migration
Before:
```yaml
metadata_store:
type: sqlite
db_path: ~/.llama/distributions/foo/registry.db
inference_store:
type: postgres
host: ${env.POSTGRES_HOST}
port: ${env.POSTGRES_PORT}
db: ${env.POSTGRES_DB}
user: ${env.POSTGRES_USER}
password: ${env.POSTGRES_PASSWORD}
conversations_store:
type: postgres
host: ${env.POSTGRES_HOST}
port: ${env.POSTGRES_PORT}
db: ${env.POSTGRES_DB}
user: ${env.POSTGRES_USER}
password: ${env.POSTGRES_PASSWORD}
```
After:
```yaml
storage:
backends:
kv_default:
type: kv_sqlite
db_path: ~/.llama/distributions/foo/kvstore.db
sql_default:
type: sql_postgres
host: ${env.POSTGRES_HOST}
port: ${env.POSTGRES_PORT}
db: ${env.POSTGRES_DB}
user: ${env.POSTGRES_USER}
password: ${env.POSTGRES_PASSWORD}
stores:
metadata:
backend: kv_default
namespace: registry
inference:
backend: sql_default
table_name: inference_store
max_write_queue_size: 10000
num_writers: 4
conversations:
backend: sql_default
table_name: openai_conversations
```
Provider configs follow the same pattern—for example, a Chroma vector
adapter switches from:
```yaml
providers:
vector_io:
- provider_id: chromadb
provider_type: remote::chromadb
config:
url: ${env.CHROMADB_URL}
kvstore:
type: sqlite
db_path: ~/.llama/distributions/foo/chroma.db
```
to:
```yaml
providers:
vector_io:
- provider_id: chromadb
provider_type: remote::chromadb
config:
url: ${env.CHROMADB_URL}
persistence:
backend: kv_default
namespace: vector_io::chroma_remote
```
Once the backends are declared, everything else just points at them, so
rotating credentials or swapping to Postgres happens in one place and
the stack reuses a single connection pool.
# What does this PR do?
Initial implementation for `Conversations` and `ConversationItems` using
`AuthorizedSqlStore` with endpoints to:
- CREATE
- UPDATE
- GET/RETRIEVE/LIST
- DELETE
Set `level=LLAMA_STACK_API_V1`.
NOTE: This does not currently incorporate changes for Responses, that'll
be done in a subsequent PR.
Closes https://github.com/llamastack/llama-stack/issues/3235
## Test Plan
- Unit tests
- Integration tests
Also comparison of [OpenAPI spec for OpenAI
API](https://github.com/openai/openai-openapi/tree/manual_spec)
```bash
oasdiff breaking --fail-on ERR docs/static/llama-stack-spec.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openai/openai-openapi/refs/heads/manual_spec/openapi.yaml --strip-prefix-base "/v1/openai/v1" \
--match-path '(^/v1/openai/v1/conversations.*|^/conversations.*)'
```
Note I still have some uncertainty about this, I borrowed this info from
@cdoern on https://github.com/llamastack/llama-stack/pull/3514 but need
to spend more time to confirm it's working, at the moment it suggests it
does.
UPDATE on `oasdiff`, I investigated the OpenAI spec further and it looks
like currently the spec does not list Conversations, so that analysis is
useless. Noting for future reference.
