Summary
Closes #10949
Eliminates the divergence between
create_llm()andcreate_ai_provider()by introducing a single internal factory method_create_provider_instance()that all provider instantiation flows delegate to.Motivation
ProviderRegistrypreviously had two separateif/elifprovider-switching chains — one in_create_provider_llm()(used bycreate_llm()) and one directly increate_ai_provider(). Adding a new provider required touching multiple locations, which caused the OpenRouter omission fromcreate_llm()that was fixed as a band-aid earlier. This refactor eliminates the root cause.Approach
_get_api_key(provider_type)— new helper that centralises API key lookup and validation, replacing duplicated guard blocks in three locations._create_provider_instance(provider_type, model_id, **kwargs)— new unified raw-LLM factory replacing_create_provider_llm(). Handles all providers including MOCK (viaFakeListLLM). Called by bothcreate_llm()andcreate_ai_provider().create_ai_provider()— refactored to wrap all providers uniformly inLangChainChatProvidervia a factory closure, removing the specialised OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/OpenRouter adapter branches.create_llm()— drops its own API key validation block; delegation to_create_provider_instance()handles it._create_provider_llm()— removed entirely.Fixes applied in this PR
_create_provider_instance()now explicitly passes the validated API key to all LangChain constructors (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google/Gemini, Azure, Groq, Together, Cohere, and OpenRouter). Pre-validated keys are forwarded through theapi_keykwarg to avoid a second settings lookup in the factory closure.ProviderType.MOCKis now registered in_discover_providers()withis_configured=True, and gated by theCLEVERAGENTS_ALLOW_MOCK_PROVIDER=truesentinel environment variable. Without the flag, bothcreate_llm()andcreate_ai_provider()raiseValueErrorwhen MOCK is requested.resolve_provider_by_name("mock")now also respects the guard.create_llm()now declares**kwargs: Anyinstead of**kwargs: object.create_ai_provider()now passes the pre-validated key into_create_provider_instance()via theapi_keykwarg, avoiding a second lookup._get_api_keyreturn type (m3): returnsstr | Noneinstead ofstr, returningNonefor no-key providers.docs/api/providers.mdnow states that all providers are uniformly wrapped inLangChainChatProvider.[Unreleased].create_ai_provider(MOCK),create_llm(MOCK)end-to-end with and without the env var, and updated existing MOCK scenarios to setCLEVERAGENTS_ALLOW_MOCK_PROVIDER._discover_providers(M2): MOCK is now explicitly registered sois_provider_configured(ProviderType.MOCK)returnsTrue.Quality Gates

First Review — PR #10963: refactor(providers): unify provider factory behind single source of truth
Review Summary
The refactoring eliminates the divergence between
create_llm()andcreate_ai_provider()by introducing a single internal_create_provider_instance()factory. The motivation is sound, the code structure is clean, and all required quality gates pass in CI. However, two blocking issues were identified that should have prevented merging:96.95%project-wide coverage, which is below the mandatory 97% threshold.eval()call in test step definitions —provider_registry_steps.pyuseseval(expected_responses)on a string, which is unsafe practice even in test code.CI Status
linttypecheckunit_testsintegration_testse2e_testscoveragesecurityqualitybuildbenchmark-regressionstatus-checkAll required quality gates pass. The
benchmark-regressionfailure is explicitly non-blocking per the workflow definition.10-Category Checklist
1. CORRECTNESS — PASS
The unified factory correctly addresses all acceptance criteria from issue #10949. All provider instantiation now goes through
_create_provider_instance(). Adding a new provider requires touching exactly one place. API key regression fixed. TheCLEVERAGENTS_ALLOW_MOCK_PROVIDERguard correctly prevents MOCK usage in production.2. SPECIFICATION ALIGNMENT — PASS
docs/api/providers.mdupdated consistently with the code. The mock provider table entry was also corrected. Minor cosmetic: a leading space was introduced in the mock table row (| Mock |instead of| Mock |), breaking markdown table alignment.3. TEST QUALITY — BLOCKING
Coverage below 97% hard gate. The PR body explicitly states that coverage is
96.95%project-wide withregistry.pyat 93.78%. Per CONTRIBUTING.md, 97% is a hard merge gate — this should have been resolved before merge. The CI coverage job reporting success but the author's own data showing 96.95% is a discrepancy that needs resolution. The deferred OpenRouter, Azure, Groq, and Cohere scenarios in_create_provider_instance()likely account for the coverage gap.4. TYPE SAFETY — PASS
create_llm()now correctly uses**kwargs: Anyinstead of**kwargs: object. No# type: ignorecomments added. All new methods have proper type annotations.5. READABILITY — PASS
Code is clean and well-structured. The
_API_KEY_MISSINGsentinel pattern is idiomatic. Docstrings on all new methods are thorough.6. PERFORMANCE — PASS
No performance concerns. API key is fetched once eagerly in
create_ai_provider()and forwarded, avoiding a second lookup in the closure.7. SECURITY — MINOR CONCERN
eval()in test step definitions infeatures/steps/provider_registry_steps.py. While this is in test code,eval()executes arbitrary Python. Should be replaced withast.literal_eval(). No production security issues found.8. CODE STYLE — PASS
SOLID principles followed.
_resolve_provider_type()is a well-extracted DRY helper. No ruff violations per CI.9. DOCUMENTATION — PASS
docs/api/providers.mdand CHANGELOG updated in the same commit. All new public/protected methods have docstrings.10. COMMIT AND PR QUALITY — PASS WITH NOTES
Closes #10949correctly auto-closes the issue.v3.2.0andType/Tasklabel applied correctly.State/In Reviewlabel was NOT updated toState/Completedafter merge — process violation.feature/m3-unify-provider-factoryfollows convention correctly.Verdict: REQUEST_CHANGES
Two blocking issues require follow-up issues to be created:
_create_provider_instance()and verify coverage >= 97%.eval()in test step — Replaceeval(expected_responses)withast.literal_eval(expected_responses)for safety.Automated by CleverAgents Bot
Supervisor: PR Review | Agent: pr-review-worker
Suggestion: The
__api_key_sentinelkwarg mechanism uses double underscore prefix which triggers Python name mangling (_ProviderRegistry__api_key_sentinel). This is intentional and works within class methods, but it may confuse future maintainers reading the code. Consider adding a brief docstring comment near the sentinel definition explaining this choice.Automated by CleverAgents Bot
Supervisor: PR Review | Agent: pr-review-worker
Suggestion: While
_create_provider_instance()handles MOCK without forwardingmodel_id, other branches usemodel=model_id or <default>. If FakeListLLM ever gains model-specific behavior (e.g., per-model response templates), adding a comment here would help future maintainers understand why the model parameter is intentionally unused.Automated by CleverAgents Bot

Review verdict: REQUEST_CHANGES
This review was conducted by the automated PR Review system on behalf of the reviewer bot identity (HAL9001). The review is submitted post-merge and documents findings for the record.
Key Findings
BLOCKING issues requiring follow-up:
Coverage below 97% hard gate — The PR body explicitly acknowledges coverage at 96.95% project-wide, with
registry.pyat 93.78% (407/434 lines). CONTRIBUTING.md mandates 97% as a hard merge gate. The deferred OpenRouter, Azure, Groq, and Cohere scenarios for_create_provider_instance()likely account for the gap. A follow-up issue should be created to close these coverage gaps.eval()in test step definitions —features/steps/provider_registry_steps.pyuseseval(expected_responses)to parse Gherkin step strings into Python expressions. This should be replaced withast.literal_eval()which only evaluates safe literals and is immune to code injection from Gherkin files.Non-blocking observations:
docs/api/providers.md(leading space on the Mock row).State/In Reviewlabel was not updated toState/Completedafter merge.branch_name: task/ci-actor-context-mgmt-test-optimizationandpr_title: perf(tests): optimize Robot.Actor Context Management integration test suitefor this PR, which does not match the actual PR content.Passing criteria:
