**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.
Renames `inference_recorder.py` to `api_recorder.py` and extends it to
support recording/replaying tool invocations in addition to inference
calls.
This allows us to record web-search, etc. tool calls and thereafter
apply recordings for `tests/integration/responses`
## Test Plan
```
export OPENAI_API_KEY=...
export TAVILY_SEARCH_API_KEY=...
./scripts/integration-tests.sh --stack-config ci-tests \
--suite responses --inference-mode record-if-missing
```
https://github.com/llamastack/llama-stack/pull/3604 broke multipart form
data field parsing for the Files API since it changed its shape -- so as
to match the API exactly to the OpenAI spec even in the generated client
code.
The underlying reason is that multipart/form-data cannot transport
structured nested fields. Each field must be str-serialized. The client
(specifically the OpenAI client whose behavior we must match),
transports sub-fields as `expires_after[anchor]` and
`expires_after[seconds]`, etc. We must be able to handle these fields
somehow on the server without compromising the shape of the YAML spec.
This PR "fixes" this by adding a dependency to convert the data. The
main trade-off here is that we must add this `Depends()` annotation on
every provider implementation for Files. This is a headache, but a much
more reasonable one (in my opinion) given the alternatives.
## Test Plan
Tests as shown in
https://github.com/llamastack/llama-stack/pull/3604#issuecomment-3351090653
pass.
# What does this PR do?
This PR is generated with AI and reviewed by me.
Refactors the AuthorizedSqlStore class to store the access policy as an
instance variable rather than passing it as a parameter to each method
call. This simplifies the API.
