feat(models): add option to list bare model IDs at GET /v1/models

[SantiagoDePolonia]

Adds UNQUALIFIED_MODEL_IDS_AT_MODELS_ENDPOINT (YAML: models.unqualified_model_ids_at_models_endpoint, default false). When true, GET /v1/models returns bare model IDs (gpt-5) instead of provider-qualified ones (openai/gpt-5); owned_by still carries the provider name. Fixes the "model not found" problem in clients that validate the configured model against the list and only know plain names.

When two providers expose the same model ID, only the provider an unqualified request routes to is listed (read from the registry's global catalog, so listing and routing always agree). Pin a name to a specific provider with a virtual model, e.g. source: gpt-5 → target: azure/gpt-5. The caveat is documented in .env.template, config.example.yaml, and the docs.

Supersedes #333 (predates the current registry; its "first provider" was map-iteration order and could disagree with routing).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a configuration option for bare model IDs at GET /v1/models. The registry deduplicates IDs according to routing resolution, the router selects the response format, and initialization applies the configured setting.

Changes

Models Endpoint IDs

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Configuration contract and documentation .env.template, config/config.*, docs/advanced/configuration.mdx, docs/features/virtual-models.mdx	Adds UnqualifiedModelIDsAtModelsEndpoint, its YAML and environment keys, default value, configuration tests, and usage documentation.
Unqualified model listing internal/providers/registry.go, internal/providers/router.go	Adds deduplicated bare model listing. ListModels uses it when the router flag is enabled and retains qualified IDs otherwise.
Initialization wiring and routing validation internal/providers/init.go, internal/providers/router_test.go	Applies the configuration during initialization. Tests verify qualified output by default and deduplicated bare IDs with provider ownership when enabled.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c0c34

The opt-in endpoint behavior remains aligned with request routing, but duplicate-provider documentation still describes selection as the “first provider,” which could mislead operators configuring the feature. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to correct the wording.

A rabbit toggles one small flag
Bare model names hop from the bag
The registry guards each route
Providers remain marked throughout
Duplicate paths choose one track
And virtual names can guide them back

Confidence Score: 5/5

Safe to merge: the endpoint returns model identifiers consistent with request routing and virtual-model overrides.

The focused HTTP test covered enabled and disabled configuration, duplicate bare IDs, provider ownership, capability filtering, virtual-model list precedence, and routed chat completion behavior without finding a failure.

Files Needing Attention: No files need changes. The implementation paths exercised were internal/providers/registry.go, internal/providers/router.go, and internal/server/handlers.go.

T-Rex Logs

What T-Rex did

• Ran the focused in-process HTTP test with duplicate provider inventories, unqualified model listing enabled and disabled, capability filtering, a same-name virtual-model redirect, and a POST /v1/chat/completions request.
• All requests returned 200 OK, with enabled mode returning one bare shared model owned by the unqualified routing winner, the unsupported audio-only model absent, the virtual-model alias redirecting to its target, and disabled mode returning alpha/shared and beta/shared.
• Consulted the Focused HTTP endpoint test source at HEAD to anchor the review of the test inputs and results.
• The HEAD validation pass completed with 200 OK responses for all model-listing requests and the alias-routed completion request.
