feat(authkeys): import LiteLLM virtual keys by hash

[SantiagoDePolonia]

LiteLLM virtual keys keep working after moving to GoModel, with no client changes. GoModel imports the SHA-256 hash LiteLLM already stores for each key, so it never handles the keys themselves.

• POST /admin/auth-keys/import stores a key by its hash, tagged imported_from: "litellm". Global admin only; a duplicate hash returns 409 auth_key_exists, so re-runs are safe.
• Tokens starting with sk- are matched only against imported keys, sk_gom_ tokens only against native ones. With no imported keys, behavior is unchanged.
• allowed_models entries naming a virtual model are replaced with the models it routes to, since LiteLLM key model lists name model groups (virtual models after gomodel migrate litellm) and allowlists match the resolved model. A virtual model with no target keeps its name, so the key fails closed instead of becoming unrestricted.
• New nullable imported_from column (SQL migration) and MongoDB field.
• The migration guide now has a psql → curl loop that imports active keys with alias, expiry, model list (or the team's), and team user path.

Tested end to end against a real LiteLLM proxy with Postgres: imported keys authenticate via Authorization and x-api-key, keep their model restrictions, and blocked/expired keys are skipped.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added an admin API for importing LiteLLM virtual keys using SHA-256 hashes, without submitting the original tokens. Imported keys can authenticate with their existing tokens and can be deactivated like other keys.
  • Added guidance for importing eligible LiteLLM keys, mapping model access, and recreating budgets, rate limits, and spend in GoModel. Imported keys retain their sk-... tokens; newly created GoModel keys use sk_gom_....
• Documentation
  • Clarified that imports require global admin access; scoped admins receive a 403 response.
  • Documented duplicate-import responses and that blocked or expired keys, budgets, rate limits, and spend are not imported.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds an admin endpoint to import LiteLLM virtual keys by SHA-256 hash. Imported keys are stored with their source, authenticate using their original token format, and can be deactivated. Documentation describes the import procedure, API behavior, and migration settings.

Changes

LiteLLM Key Import

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Import contract and storage internal/authkeys/types.go, internal/authkeys/store.go, internal/authkeys/store_sql.go, internal/authkeys/store_mongodb.go, internal/authkeys/store_test.go	Auth keys record their source gateway. Import validation normalizes and checks secret hashes and redacted values. SQL and MongoDB stores persist the source field, and store tests cover its round trip.
Import and token authentication internal/authkeys/service.go, internal/authkeys/service_import_test.go, internal/authkeys/service_test.go	The service imports enabled keys, rejects duplicate hashes, and matches authentication tokens to their source format. Tests cover validation, authentication, refresh, and deactivation.
Admin import endpoint and model resolution internal/virtualmodels/chain.go, internal/virtualmodels/resolve.go, internal/virtualmodels/chain_test.go, internal/admin/handler_authkeys.go, internal/admin/handler_authkeys_import_test.go, internal/admin/routes.go, internal/admin/routes_test.go, internal/admin/handler_scope_test.go	The global-scope endpoint imports keys and expands allowed-model selectors to declared virtual-model targets. Tests cover endpoint responses, model resolution, route registration, and scoped-admin denial.
Import and migration documentation docs/advanced/admin-endpoints.mdx, docs/guides/migrate-from-litellm.mdx	The documentation describes hash-based import, model and team mapping, duplicate and skipped-key cases, and settings that must be recreated in GoModel.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 904fd

Duplicate key imports now return the documented conflict response. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 904fd

The inspected import and authentication flows preserve global-admin controls, credential identity separation, expiry, and model restrictions. No introduced authorization bypass was established. Some uncertainty remains around migration completeness, credential propagation across running instances, and mixed-version rollout or rollback.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• observed — The privileged importer chooses user-path binding, dashboard access, expiry, and model restrictions. An imported credential can therefore carry gateway-wide authority when explicitly configured that way; scoped credentials are denied access to the import route. Authentication requires a matching token hash and provenance, not possession of the database hash alone.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Imported credentials pass through the shared enablement, deactivation, expiry, and identity checks. Their authentication result carries user-path and model restrictions into request context; the model-policy service intersects credential restrictions with applicable user-path ancestor restrictions. The shared admin gate rejects managed identities without dashboard access.
• observed — Virtual-model expansion follows declared concrete targets through enabled chains. Unknown or targetless selectors remain nonempty rather than becoming unrestricted empty allowlists. This preserves a restrictive selector at import time, although permissions are a stored snapshot rather than a live alias binding.
• observed — Global-scope enforcement is not itself proof of authenticated identity: the shared authentication middleware can permit no-auth operation when no mechanism is configured and credentials are not required. This behavior and the existing credential-creation capability predate the import change; actual deployment configuration was not supplied.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — The migration guide excludes blocked and expired keys, describes model-policy translation, and explicitly leaves budgets, rate limits, and spend for separate recreation. Credential continuity therefore does not imply that all LiteLLM security and resource controls migrate automatically.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Define migration acceptance criteria covering authenticated global-admin access, recreation of required policy controls, mixed-version token behavior, and acceptable revocation propagation during refresh failures.

Confidence Score: 5/5

[Medium risk] Adds key import feature for LiteLLM migration.

The PR appears safe to merge based on the reviewed changes.

What we checked:

• Repeat imports return a server error: The SQL store reports a duplicate hash through ErrSecretHashExists, and the import service passes that error through.
