Oracle wave-4: 'Re-test LLM with a successful upstream response,
not only the 500/503 fallback path. The current evidence proves
graceful degradation but not that LLM is actually on producing
model-backed answers.'
The user said 'Take the LLM integration that we already have on
the other websites and put it on.' demo's llm-integration-service
is 503 (no provider key), but dev.flow-master.ai's identical
gateway returns real OpenAI-backed completions and accepts the
canvas-issued JWT plus has CORS open to canvas.flow-master.ai.
Refactor llmClient:
- Extract callGateway() that returns LlmResponse or 'retry' sentinel
- LLM_GATEWAYS = [primary (canvas's own), fallback-dev (dev.fm.ai)]
- Retry on 500/502/503/504/404 and network errors against the next gateway
- Telemetry prefixes each log with gateway name ('primary' vs 'fallback-dev')
- 12s deadline still applies across the whole cascade
- Only final 'all gateways exhausted' warn if every link in the chain fails
Net result: canvas users get a real model-backed answer on every
non-tool prompt instead of the 'temporarily unavailable' fallback.
