What's Changed

Fixed

Make the outbound credential headers mutually exclusive so a client-supplied credential can no longer override the gateway-injected upstream key: once BFE takes ownership of the upstream credential, the outbound request keeps only the header the request's model_protocol adapter injects and drops Authorization / x-api-key / x-goog-api-key, which used to be forwarded as-is — an upstream that prefers a residual header (kimi: x-api-key wins over Authorization; bailian: Authorization wins and never falls back) authenticated with the client token, answered 401, and that 401 was charged to the selected key: two requests from one client marked both kimi keys dead for 3600s, the cluster circuit-broke and traffic was silently degraded to bailian/deepseek-v4.1-flash while the client still saw 200 (issue [#1447])
