LiteLLM -> OmniRoute (issue #31, wayfinder map + research tickets #32-37):
replace the litellm/litellm-db services with omniroute, split-port mode
(API_PORT published/reverse-proxied, DASHBOARD_PORT never published -
tighter than litellm's old /ui NPM path-deny rule), 5 new secrets in place
of LITELLM_MASTER_KEY/LITELLM_SALT_KEY, llama-server/searxng registered as
omniroute providers post-boot (no static config.yaml equivalent). No
scripted per-workload key minting yet - omniroute's POST /api/keys needs a
dashboard session, not a static bearer key - so OPENWEBUI_OMNIROUTE_KEY is
a manual step for now (docs/proxy-key-onboarding.md).
Caveat carried into the map and README: OmniRoute's own docs
(docs/security/STEALTH_GUIDE.md, MITM-TPROXY-DECRYPT.md, PUBLIC_CREDS.md
on its release/v3.8.51 branch) describe shipped features for AI-provider
client-detection evasion, system-wide HTTPS interception via a locally
installed root CA, and hiding credentials from secret scanners. Proceeding
anyway was an explicit, informed user decision.
Also drops the gateway-level memory/knowledgebase feature entirely (user:
"I don't need it") - litellm-pgvector, pgvector-db, embedding-server,
scripts/ingest-memory.sh, vendor/litellm-pgvector/, docs/memory-
knowledgebase.md. Open WebUI's own qdrant-backed memory/RAG is unrelated
and untouched. litellm-config.yaml deleted (was kept as a rollback
reference, but there's no rollback path to a feature being deliberately
removed).
Not yet verified against real hardware - see issue #31's open tickets.

README.md and docs/proxy-key-onboarding.md were edited by later commits
(b996b1f, 24d749b) that the litellm-pgvector revert didn't touch, so they
still named the now-removed MEMORY_RETRIEVAL_EMBEDDING_KEY var. Left
docs/research/langchain-pgvector-vs-litellm-pgvector.md as-is — it's a
dated record of the decision being reversed, not live config.

update.sh now creates .env from .env.example if missing, idempotently fills
in every random secret (same logic generate-secrets.sh had, now removed),
resolves SEARXNG_LAN_IP from search.home via the host's own DNS, and mints
OPENWEBUI_LITELLM_KEY / MEMORY_RETRIEVAL_EMBEDDING_KEY through LiteLLM's own
/key/generate API once litellm is up — no more manual Admin UI step for the
stack's own two workload keys. Docs updated to point at update.sh as the
one command; docs/proxy-key-onboarding.md keeps the manual/API steps as the
fallback and for onboarding other workloads.
