ZaiProvider

Constructs the client for a ProviderConfig this provider produced.

config is whatever the caller passed, so implementations must check the type rather than cast — ProviderDescriptor.expectConfig does that and produces the standard mismatch error.

Turns a validated config section into the runtime ProviderConfig for this provider.

The section has already been checked against configSpec, so required fields are present; a Left here means something configSpec cannot express (a malformed value, say).

Alternative spellings accepted in provider = "...", folded onto id.

For example Gemini accepts "google". Aliases are matched after the same trim/lowercase canonicalisation as id itself.

What this provider's client implements. Defaults to the full interface.

Live model discovery, when the provider's API offers it.

Which config fields this provider requires, and its default endpoint.

Canonical id, e.g. ProviderId("openai"). Must be unique within a registry.
