Purpose

Implement comprehensive validation for LLM security configuration (API key) across both frontend and backend to ensure valid configuration at creation/update time rather than deployment time. This prevents incomplete or invalid security configurations from being persisted in the system.

Resolves

Goals

  1. Add backend validation for API key security configuration during LLM Provider and LLM Proxy Create/Update operations
  2. Add frontend validation with real-time feedback to users when API key security is misconfigured
  3. Align validation rules between frontend and backend to ensure consistency
  4. Fail fast with clear error messages instead of allowing deployment failures later

Approach

Backend: Added validateSecurityConfig() function in platform-api/internal/service/llm.go to validate API key security settings (required key field, valid 'header'/'query' location). Integrated into LLMProvider and LLMProxy Create/Update operations. Updated error handling to use proper error types and added minLength: 1 constraint to OpenAPI spec.

Frontend: Added real-time validation in ServiceProviderSecurityTab.tsx that tracks security validity state and prevents enabling API key security without a key name. Parent component (ServiceProviderOverview.tsx) disables Save button when security config is invalid and shows error messages to users.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change validates enabled API-key security configurations across the API and AI workspace. Key names must be non-empty, and locations must be header or query. Invalid configurations are rejected before persistence or deployment.

Changes

LLM API-key validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Security configuration contract and request validation
platform-api/internal/service/llm.go, platform-api/resources/openapi.yaml
The API schema requires a non-empty key name. Provider and proxy create/update flows validate enabled API-key configurations and accepted locations.
Deployment validation errors
platform-api/internal/service/llm_deployment.go
Deployment YAML generation returns provider- and proxy-specific validation errors for missing key names and invalid locations.
Workspace security form validation
portals/ai-workspace/src/pages/appShell/appShellPages/serviceProvider/ServiceProviderSecurityTab.tsx, portals/ai-workspace/src/pages/appShell/appShellPages/serviceProvider/ServiceProviderOverview.tsx
The security tab reports validity, blocks invalid updates, and displays required-field errors. The overview blocks saving and disables the Save button while the configuration is invalid.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ae7cb

The validation changes can incorrectly block unrelated provider saves and may allow an incomplete API-key location to persist until deployment fails. Merge readiness is moderate until these frontend state-handling and backend validation paths are corrected.

Require security.apiKey.in to be header or query

mapSecurityAPIToModel maps a nil location to an empty model value. It does not default the value to header, while deployment generation rejects an empty location. Reject omitted locations in validateSecurityConfig or default them before persistence.

Derive security validity from the configured API-key state.

apiKeyEnabled defaults to true, even when provider.security?.apiKey is absent. Opening the Security tab then reports invalid state for a provider that has no API-key security. The parent retains that state after the tab unmounts and blocks unrelated saves.

  • portals/ai-workspace/src/pages/appShell/appShellPages/serviceProvider/ServiceProviderSecurityTab.tsx#L55-L59: Mark the key invalid only when API-key authentication is configured and enabled. Reset or recompute callback state when the tab unmounts.
  • portals/ai-workspace/src/pages/appShell/appShellPages/serviceProvider/ServiceProviderOverview.tsx#L1722-L1724: Do not retain tab-local validity after the security tab unmounts.
  • portals/ai-workspace/src/pages/appShell/appShellPages/serviceProvider/ServiceProviderOverview.tsx#L409-L416: Gate saves only on validity derived from the staged provider configuration.
  • portals/ai-workspace/src/pages/appShell/appShellPages/serviceProvider/ServiceProviderOverview.tsx#L1783-L1783: Use the same staged-configuration validity for the Save button.
