+2. `serve` redacts secrets in the request (`redacted`), resolves the model to a provider or a group, and refuses what can't be served. A request whose provider and fallbacks, or whose group's models, all skip redaction (`unredactedRoute`, `provider.SkipsRedaction`: set *Send requests unmasked*, `Unredacted`, with every address on this machine or the local network) goes to them as the agent wrote it; the log and recent calls keep the masked body. count_tokens and embeddings follow the same rule.
    - `DecidesModel` gives a 400.
    - A gateway key held to some models (`keyHolds`, #882) gets a 403 for any other model.
    - Sealed tasks (#619) are checked here.
