feat!: Migrate Vector DB IDs to Vector Store IDs (breaking change) (#3253)
# What does this PR do?
This change migrates the VectorDB id generation to Vector Stores.

This is a breaking change for **_some users_** that may have application
code using the `vector_db_id` parameter in the request of the VectorDB
protocol instead of the `VectorDB.identifier` in the response.

By default we will now create a Vector Store every time we register a
VectorDB. The caveat with this approach is that this maps the
`vector_db_id` → `vector_store.name`. This is a reasonable tradeoff to
transition users towards OpenAI Vector Stores.

As an added benefit, registering VectorDBs will result in them appearing
in the VectorStores admin UI.

### Why?
This PR makes the `POST` API call to `/v1/vector-dbs` swap the
`vector_db_id` parameter in the **request body** into the VectorStore's
name field and sets the `vector_db_id` to the generated vector store id
(e.g., `vs_038247dd-4bbb-4dbb-a6be-d5ecfd46cfdb`).

That means that users would have to do something like follows in their
application code:

```python
res = client.vector_dbs.register(
    vector_db_id='my-vector-db-id', 
    embedding_model='ollama/all-minilm:l6-v2', 
    embedding_dimension=384,
)
vector_db_id = res.identifier
```

And then the rest of their code would behave, including `VectorIO`'s
insert protocol using `vector_db_id` in the request.

An alternative implementation would be to just delete the `vector_db_id`
parameter in `VectorDB` but the end result would still require users
having to write `vector_db_id = res.identifier` since
`VectorStores.create()` generates the ID for you.

So this approach felt the easiest way to migrate users towards
VectorStores (subsequent PRs will be added to trigger `files.create()`
and `vector_stores.files.create()`).

## Test Plan
Unit tests and integration tests have been added.

There are two obvious types of tests:

Type Location Purpose
Unit tests/unit/ Fast, isolated component testing
Integration tests/integration/ End-to-end workflows with record-replay

Both have their place. For unit tests, it is important to create minimal mocks and instead rely more on "fakes". Mocks are too brittle. In either case, tests must be very fast and reliable.

Record-replay for integration tests

Testing AI applications end-to-end creates some challenges:

  • API costs accumulate quickly during development and CI
  • Non-deterministic responses make tests unreliable
  • Multiple providers require testing the same logic across different APIs

Our solution: Record real API responses once, replay them for fast, deterministic tests. This is better than mocking because AI APIs have complex response structures and streaming behavior. Mocks can miss edge cases that real APIs exhibit. A single test can exercise underlying APIs in multiple complex ways making it really hard to mock.

This gives you:

  • Cost control - No repeated API calls during development
  • Speed - Instant test execution with cached responses
  • Reliability - Consistent results regardless of external service state
  • Provider coverage - Same tests work across OpenAI, Anthropic, local models, etc.

Testing Quick Start

You can run the unit tests with:

uv run --group unit pytest -sv tests/unit/

For running integration tests, you must provide a few things:

  • A stack config. This is a pointer to a stack. You have a few ways to point to a stack:

    • server:<config> - automatically start a server with the given config (e.g., server:starter). This provides one-step testing by auto-starting the server if the port is available, or reusing an existing server if already running.
    • server:<config>:<port> - same as above but with a custom port (e.g., server:starter:8322)
    • a URL which points to a Llama Stack distribution server
    • a distribution name (e.g., starter) or a path to a run.yaml file
    • a comma-separated list of api=provider pairs, e.g. inference=fireworks,safety=llama-guard,agents=meta-reference. This is most useful for testing a single API surface.
  • Any API keys you need to use should be set in the environment, or can be passed in with the --env option.

You can run the integration tests in replay mode with:

# Run all tests with existing recordings
  uv run --group test \
  pytest -sv tests/integration/ --stack-config=starter

Re-recording tests

Local Re-recording (Manual Setup Required)

If you want to re-record tests locally, you can do so with:

LLAMA_STACK_TEST_INFERENCE_MODE=record \
  uv run --group test \
  pytest -sv tests/integration/ --stack-config=starter -k "<appropriate test name>"

This will record new API responses and overwrite the existing recordings.


You must be careful when re-recording. CI workflows assume a specific setup for running the replay-mode tests. You must re-record the tests in the same way as the CI workflows. This means
- you need Ollama running and serving some specific models.
- you are using the `starter` distribution.

For easier re-recording without local setup, use the automated recording workflow:

# Record tests for specific test subdirectories
./scripts/github/schedule-record-workflow.sh --test-subdirs "agents,inference"

# Record with vision tests enabled
./scripts/github/schedule-record-workflow.sh --test-subdirs "inference" --run-vision-tests

# Record with specific provider
./scripts/github/schedule-record-workflow.sh --test-subdirs "agents" --test-provider vllm

This script:

  • 🚀 Runs in GitHub Actions - no local Ollama setup required
  • 🔍 Auto-detects your branch and associated PR
  • 🍴 Works from forks - handles repository context automatically
  • Commits recordings back to your branch

Prerequisites:

  • GitHub CLI: brew install gh && gh auth login
  • jq: brew install jq
  • Your branch pushed to a remote

Supported providers: vllm, ollama
