**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?
Enables automatic embedding model detection for vector stores and by
using a `default_configured` boolean that can be defined in the
`run.yaml`.

## Test Plan
- Unit tests
- Integration tests
- Simple example below:
Spin up the stack:
```bash
uv run llama stack build --distro starter --image-type venv --run
```
Then test with OpenAI's client:
```python
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(base_url="http://localhost:8321/v1/", api_key="none")
vs = client.vector_stores.create()
```
Previously you needed:
```python
vs = client.vector_stores.create(
extra_body={
"embedding_model": "sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2",
"embedding_dimension": 384,
}
)
```
The `extra_body` is now unnecessary.

# What does this PR do?
2 main changes:
1. Remove `provider_id` requirement in call to vector stores and
2. Removes "register first embedding model" logic
- Now forces embedding model id as required on Vector Store creation
Simplifies the UX for OpenAI to:
```python
vs = client.vector_stores.create(
name="my_citations_db",
extra_body={
"embedding_model": "ollama/nomic-embed-text:latest",
}
)
```
