# What does this PR do?
Today, external providers are installed via the `external_providers_dir`
in the config. This necessitates users to understand the `ProviderSpec`
and set up their directories accordingly. This process splits up the
config for the stack across multiple files, directories, and formats.
Most (if not all) external providers today have a
[get_provider_spec](559cb18fbb/src/ramalama_stack/provider.py (L9))
method that sits unused. Utilizing this method rather than the
providers.d route allows for a much easier installation process for
external providers and limits the amount of extra configuration a
regular user has to do to get their stack off the ground.
To accomplish this and wire it throughout the build process, Introduce
the concept of a `module` for users to specify for an external provider
upon build time. In order to facilitate this, align the build and run
spec to use `Provider` class rather than the stringified provider_type
that build currently uses.
For example, say this is in your build config:
```
- provider_id: ramalama
provider_type: remote::ramalama
module: ramalama_stack
```
during build (in the various `build_...` scripts), additionally to
installing any pip dependencies we will also install this module and use
the `get_provider_spec` method to retrieve the ProviderSpec that is
currently specified using `providers.d`.
In production so far, providing instructions for installing external
providers for users has been difficult: they need to install the module
as a pre-req, create the providers.d directory, copy in the provider
spec, and also copy in the necessary build/run yaml files. Accessing an
external provider should be as easy as possible, and pointing to its
installable module aligns more with the rest of our build and dependency
management process.
For now, `external_providers_dir` still exists as an alternate more
declarative method of using external providers.
## Test Plan
added an integration test installing an external provider from module
and more unit test coverage for `get_provider_registry`
( the warning in yellow is expected, the module is installed inside of
the build env, not where we are running the command)

# What does this PR do?
https://github.com/meta-llama/llama-stack/pull/2490 broke postgres_demo,
as the config expected a str but the value was converted to int.
This PR:
1. Updates the type of port in sqlstore to be int
2. template generation uses `dict` instead of `StackRunConfig` so as to
avoid failing pydantic typechecks.
3. Adds `replace_env_vars` to StackRunConfig instantiation in
`configure.py` (not sure why this wasn't needed before).
## Test Plan
`llama stack build --template postgres_demo --image-type conda --run`
# What does this PR do?
We were not using conditionals correctly, conditionals can only be used
when the env variable is set, so `${env.ENVIRONMENT:+}` would return
None is ENVIRONMENT is not set.
If you want to create a conditional value, you need to do
`${env.ENVIRONMENT:=}`, this will pick the value of ENVIRONMENT if set,
otherwise will return None.

# What does this PR do?
Some templates were still using the old environment variable substition
syntax instead of the new one and were not getting substituted properly.
Also, some places didn't handle the new None vs old empty string ("")
values that come from the conditional environment variable substitution.
This gets the starter and remote-vllm distributions starting again, and
I tested various permutations of the starter as chroma and pgvector
needed some adjustments to their config classes to handle the new
possible `None` values. And, I had to tweak our `Provider` class to also
handle `None` values, for cases where we disable providers in the
starter config via environment variables.
This may not have caught everything that was missed, but I did grep
around quite a bit to try and find anything lingering.
## Test Plan
The following permutations now all run (or attempt to run to the point
of complaining that they can't connect to chroma, vllm, etc) when before
they failed immediately on startup because of bad environment variable
substitions:
```
uv run llama stack run llama_stack/templates/starter/run.yaml
ENABLE_SQLITE_VEC=true uv run llama stack run llama_stack/templates/starter/run.yaml
ENABLE_PGVECTOR=true uv run llama stack run llama_stack/templates/starter/run.yaml
ENABLE_CHROMADB=true uv run llama stack run llama_stack/templates/starter/run.yaml
uv run llama stack run llama_stack/templates/remote-vllm/run.yaml
```

# What does this PR do?
This commit significantly improves the environment variable substitution
functionality in Llama Stack configuration files:
* The version field in configuration files has been changed from string
to integer type for better type consistency across build and run
configurations.
* The environment variable substitution system for ${env.FOO:} was fixed
and properly returns an error
* The environment variable substitution system for ${env.FOO+} returns
None instead of an empty strings, it better matches type annotations in
config fields
* The system includes automatic type conversion for boolean, integer,
and float values.
* The error messages have been enhanced to provide clearer guidance when
environment variables are missing, including suggestions for using
default values or conditional syntax.
* Comprehensive documentation has been added to the configuration guide
explaining all supported syntax patterns, best practices, and runtime
override capabilities.
* Multiple provider configurations have been updated to use the new
conditional syntax for optional API keys, making the system more
flexible for different deployment scenarios. The telemetry configuration
has been improved to properly handle optional endpoints with appropriate
validation, ensuring that required endpoints are specified when their
corresponding sinks are enabled.
* There were many instances of ${env.NVIDIA_API_KEY:} that should have
caused the code to fail. However, due to a bug, the distro server was
still being started, and early validation wasn’t triggered. As a result,
failures were likely being handled downstream by the providers. I’ve
maintained similar behavior by using ${env.NVIDIA_API_KEY:+}, though I
believe this is incorrect for many configurations. I’ll leave it to each
provider to correct it as needed.
* Environment variable substitution now uses the same syntax as Bash
parameter expansion.

# What does this PR do?
* Given that our API packages use "import *" in `__init.py__` we don't
need to do `from llama_stack.apis.models.models` but simply from
llama_stack.apis.models. The decision to use `import *` is debatable and
should probably be revisited at one point.
* Remove unneeded Ruff F401 rule
* Consolidate Ruff F403 rule in the pyprojectfrom
llama_stack.apis.models.models
