+"""Vendor-agnostic normalization of upstream usage objects.
+
+Upstream providers report token usage in vendor dialects that differ in field
+names and in whether cached tokens are included in the input count:
+
+* OpenAI / Azure / xAI / Groq / Moonshot / Qwen / Gemini-compat: cache reads in
+  ``prompt_tokens_details.cached_tokens``, included in ``prompt_tokens``.
+* OpenRouter: same as OpenAI plus cache *writes* in
+  ``prompt_tokens_details.cache_write_tokens``, also included in
+  ``prompt_tokens``.
+* litellm-normalized: same nesting, but names the write field
+  ``prompt_tokens_details.cache_creation_tokens`` (and additionally mirrors the
+  Anthropic top-level fields), with ``prompt_tokens`` as the grand total.
+* Anthropic native: ``cache_read_input_tokens`` / ``cache_creation_input_tokens``
+  top-level, additive to (not included in) ``input_tokens``.
+* DeepSeek: ``prompt_cache_hit_tokens`` / ``prompt_cache_miss_tokens``, with
+  ``prompt_tokens = hit + miss``.
+
+What decides whether cached tokens must be subtracted out of the input count is
+**which prompt field the vendor uses**, not which cache field appears:
+
+* ``prompt_tokens`` present -> cached + cache-write tokens are *included* in it
+  (OpenAI family, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, litellm); subtract both so
+  ``input_tokens`` holds only the regular-rate portion.
+* only ``input_tokens`` (Anthropic native) -> cached tokens are *additive*;
+  leave ``input_tokens`` untouched.
+
+``normalize_usage`` maps all of them onto one canonical ``NormalizedUsage``
+shape so billing code needs no vendor knowledge. The known dialects' field
+names do not collide, so a single union parser is safe; a vendor whose fields
+would genuinely conflict needs a dedicated branch here.

+"""Inject explicit prompt-cache breakpoints into OpenAI-shaped requests.
+
+Some upstreams cache *explicitly*: the request must carry
+``cache_control: {"type": "ephemeral"}`` markers on the content blocks that
+should be cached. Two model families use this identical wire format:
+
+* **Anthropic Claude** — direct or via OpenRouter's ``anthropic/*`` models.
+* **Alibaba's explicit-cache models on OpenRouter** — ``qwen/qwen3-max``,
+  ``qwen/qwen-plus``, ``qwen/qwen3.6-plus``, ``qwen/qwen3-coder-plus``,
+  ``qwen/qwen3-coder-flash`` and ``deepseek/deepseek-v3.2`` — which OpenRouter
+  documents as using "the same syntax as Anthropic explicit caching".
+
+Every other provider routstr proxies (OpenAI, Azure, xAI/Grok, Groq, Moonshot,
+default DeepSeek, Gemini implicit, Fireworks) caches *automatically* and needs
+no markers — they are left untouched.
+
+A client that doesn't know it is talking to one of these models *through*
+routstr (e.g. an OpenAI-compatible coding agent pointed at a routstr URL) never
+emits the markers — it only adds them when it recognises the provider as
+OpenRouter. So caching silently never engages over routstr even though the same
+client caches fine talking to OpenRouter directly.
+
+This module restores caching by stamping the standard breakpoints onto the
+forwarded body — the system prompt, the last tool, and the last conversation
+message (the format allows up to four; we use three, matching the common
+agent convention) — but only when the client supplied none of its own, so
+explicit client control always wins. The caller is responsible for only
+applying this toward an upstream that accepts the markers (OpenRouter /
+Anthropic), so they never leak to a provider that would reject them.

+
+Most non-Anthropic upstreams (OpenAI-compat, Gemini OpenAI-compat,
+OpenRouter chat-completions, generic providers) return 400/404 when asked
+to ``POST /messages/count_tokens``. Claude Code and other Anthropic SDK
+clients call this endpoint before each turn to size context windows and
+trigger compaction, so a failure breaks the whole chat.
+
+We answer locally. ``litellm.token_counter`` understands the Anthropic
+message shape and the per-model tokenizers, so we prefer it. If it raises
+(unknown model, encoding lookup failure, ...), we fall back to the
+project's own ``estimate_tokens`` heuristic, which is always defined and
+never raises.

+When an upstream rejects a request with a recoverable 4xx error, this layer

+upstream's own error wording, so the same recovery works across every provider.
+
+The layer is a small pipeline of :data:`Corrector` callables. Each corrector
+inspects the parsed request body and the upstream error message and either
+returns a corrected body (plus a short label identifying the fix) or declines
+by returning ``None``. Adding a new reactive fix means writing one corrector
+and adding it to :data:`DEFAULT_CORRECTORS` — no changes to the proxy loop.
+
+All corrections are immutable: a corrector never mutates the body it is given,
+it returns a new ``dict``. The proxy threads an ``applied`` set of fix labels

+"""Battle-test the streaming SSE parser against real per-provider framing.
+
+Each test drives the *actual* ``handle_streaming_chat_completion`` generator
+with a mock upstream response whose ``aiter_bytes`` emits byte sequences that
+mirror what each supported provider sends on the wire (captured from the
+providers' own streaming docs):
+
+* OpenAI / Groq / Fireworks / xAI / Perplexity / Azure - plain
+  ``data: {json}\\n\\n`` + ``data: [DONE]``.
+* OpenRouter - same, but with ``: OPENROUTER PROCESSING`` keepalive comments
+  interleaved (the framing that produced the original
+  ``Unexpected token ':'`` client crash).
+* Gemini (native ``alt=sse``) - ``data:`` payloads framed with CRLF.
+
+The invariant every provider must satisfy: every line the proxy emits that
+starts with ``data: `` either equals ``[DONE]`` or is valid JSON, and no SSE
+comment ever reaches the client. That invariant is exactly what the buggy
+``re.split(b"data: ")`` parser violated for OpenRouter.
