# What does this PR do?
This PR kills the notion of "pure passthrough" remote providers. You
cannot specify a single provider you must specify a whole distribution
(stack) as remote.
This PR also significantly fixes / upgrades testing infrastructure so
you can now test against a remotely hosted stack server by just doing
```bash
pytest -s -v -m remote test_agents.py \
--inference-model=Llama3.1-8B-Instruct --safety-shield=Llama-Guard-3-1B \
--env REMOTE_STACK_URL=http://localhost:5001
```
Also fixed `test_agents_persistence.py` (which was broken) and killed
some deprecated testing functions.
## Test Plan
All the tests.
* Significantly simpler and malleable test setup
* convert memory tests
* refactor fixtures and add support for composable fixtures
* Fix memory to use the newer fixture organization
* Get agents tests working
* Safety tests work
* yet another refactor to make this more general
now it accepts --inference-model, --safety-model options also
* get multiple providers working for meta-reference (for inference + safety)
* Add README.md
