refactor(client): issue requests through a generated transport - #35

Stacked on #34 — this PR targets LW-406-deprecate-misspelled-params, not main. #34 must merge first. The compat baseline is pinned to #34's head (0e9fda3), so that branch is what "parity" means here.

What

LLMWhispererClientV2 builds its requests from a transport generated off the API's OpenAPI spec instead of assembling them by hand, and sends them over httpx.

Unchanged and deliberately untouched: the retry policy and its wait strategy, the wall-clock deadline handling, the wait_for_completion poll loop, the deprecated-parameter resolver, the exception hierarchy, and every return shape. Only the innermost transport call moved.

• specs/llmwhisperer.json + tools/gen_sdk.sh regenerate src/unstract/llmwhisperer/sdk_llmwhisperer/ with a pinned generator. The tree is committed, marked linguist-generated, stamped DO-NOT-EDIT, and excluded from ruff, docformatter, mypy and pre-commit — regeneration overwrites it wholesale, so a fix applied there is lost on the next run.
• Only the generated _get_kwargs builders are used. Responses are read as raw JSON exactly as before, so no generated response model sits on any code path.

Three things a naive swap breaks

• Exception types. Callers catch requests.ConnectionError and requests.Timeout by name; the httpx classes are not subclasses. They are translated at the seam, inside the retried call — the retry predicate matches on those same types, so translating around the retry loop would silently disable transport-error retry. requests.ConnectTimeout is both a ConnectionError and a Timeout, so a connect timeout maps to it rather than to a plain Timeout.
• Redirects. The previous transport followed them by default; httpx does not. Without follow_redirects a 30x from a proxy or an http→https upgrade surfaces as API error: empty response body.
• Injected defaults. The generated builders write every spec-declared parameter. Requests carry only what the client set — sending a default pins a value the service would otherwise choose. url_in_post exists only in URL mode, and the URL travels in the body, not also on the query string.

Query values are rendered the way the previous transport rendered them: httpx serialises booleans as true/false where the old one sent True/False.

Remaining differences, all wire-irrelevant

• Query-parameter order is alphabetical rather than insertion order.
• The webhook JSON body uses compact separators and a different key order; same object.
• User-Agent is now python-httpx/....

Testing

tests/unit/compat_test.py compares this client against the baseline vendored at tests/baseline/client_v2_pr34.py (refreshed via tools/refresh_baseline.sh), running both over the same responses:

• the outgoing request — method, path, query and body — for all 14 call shapes, including every whisper parameter at once and all three input modes
• the returned value across 6 status codes, and error handling across 5 body shapes including empty and non-JSON, so the published client's own rough edges are preserved rather than quietly improved
• the wait_for_completion poll loop end to end
• constructor parameters, defaults and order, all 11 public signatures, class attributes, and the deprecated-parameter resolver and get_highlight_rect compared statement by statement
• retry, deadline capping and deadline-stops-retries at the new seam; exception translation across 9 httpx classes
• wrapper coverage over the spec, with the 9 operations neither client exposes listed explicitly

234 unit tests pass. The existing unit suite is unchanged apart from its patch target.

A live round trip against staging is still outstanding.

Note: pre-commit does not pass on this branch — ruff (ANN401 on the pre-existing -> Any signatures), mypy (missing types-requests) and docformatter (on tests/integration) all fail identically on main, so this commit was made with --no-verify. Worth fixing separately.
