Interface IProviderEndpointCredentialSource

Namespace

MailFathom.AI.Providers

Assembly

MailFathom.AI.dll

Resolves what one request presents to one AI provider endpoint.

public interface IProviderEndpointCredentialSource

Remarks

The port exists so this boundary holds no secret provider at all: references, schemes, and the resolution rules governed by ADR 0005 stay where every other credential's do, and what arrives here is already resolved material with a defined lifetime. It is asked per request rather than once, which is what lets a rotated key take effect without a restart.

One source serves every provider role, because an alias names one endpoint across the whole deployment. Startup refuses a chat endpoint that reuses an embedding endpoint's alias for exactly that reason: the alias is what a credential, a resilience circuit, and every log line naming an endpoint are keyed by, and two endpoints answering to one name would share all three.

Methods

ResolveAsync(string, CancellationToken)

Resolves the credential configured for one endpoint.
