`MemoryBackendParams` carried the primary session `AuthManager` and the
session api-key provider unconditionally, while `embed_base_url` is the
CURRENT MODEL's endpoint and `AuthRetryMiddleware` stamps `Authorization`
on every request it wraps. A user who enables `[memory.embedding] model`
while running a BYOK or subscription-OAuth model therefore sent the Kimi
session bearer to that third party.
`EndpointScopedCredentials` binds the credential to the one endpoint it
may reach: `for_endpoint` drops the handle unless the caller vouches for
the URL, and `approved_for` re-checks at provider-build time in release
too, because `MemoryBackendParams` is `Clone` and callers rewrite fields
on the copy.
The shell decides through `CredentialAuthority::manager_for` rather than
a second URL predicate — it answers both whether a credential may ride
and which manager governs it, so a subscription-OAuth platform gets its
own pooled manager. The session's `SharedApiKeyProvider` is not
forwarded at all: it is hard-wired to the primary manager, so at a
pooled platform's host it would resolve the wrong bearer. A platform's
own `embed_api_key` is untouched and keeps serving its own endpoint.
The background reindex built a second provider straight from
`ApiEmbeddingProvider::from_session`, outside the chokepoint and without
401 refresh; it now embeds through the session's own params.
Test strength verified by mutation: with the guard reverted, exactly
`session_credentials_are_withheld_from_a_foreign_endpoint` and
`a_cloned_param_set_cannot_redirect_scoped_credentials` fail.
