Summary

Before: the web console README and RFC-0029 say that a call to a custom base_url with no key "goes out without a key".

After: both say what the code does. The key is sent as an explicit empty key, the same as the AI SDK with apiKey: ''. No stored or environment key is used, and OpenAI and similar providers send an empty credential header such as Authorization: Bearer .

This is the wording fix from the #248 review (point 1). The code is unchanged: wire.rs returns Some("") for a custom base URL with a blank key, and @ai-sdk/openai 4.0.83 sends Bearer ${loadApiKey(...)} the same way.

Type of change

• Bug fix (non-breaking)
• New feature (non-breaking)
• Breaking change
• New provider
• New / updated binding
• Docs / RFC

Checklist

• cargo fmt --all -- --check passes
• cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings passes
• cargo test --workspace passes (cassette playback — no network/keys)
• Added or updated cassette tests / contract fixtures for behavior changes
• Updated relevant docs (README.md, docs/, rfc/, bindings/README.md)
• Commit messages follow Conventional Commits

Notes for reviewers

• Docs only: tools/aimux-web/README.md and rfc/0029-web-console.md, three lines.
• [5/8] ([5/8] refactor!: providers are AI SDK factories #253) rewrites the same paragraph. Once this merges, the next master merge into the series keeps the series' text, which carries the same correction.

LGTM —— 这正是 #248 评审第 1 点要求的措辞修正：空 key 实际以 Some("") 发出（RFC-0040 §3.1 的显式空值语义），OpenAI 族发空 Authorization: Bearer ，与上游 apiKey: '' 行为一致，不回落 Settings/env。两处文档（RFC-0029 §5.5、web README）措辞与代码事实对齐，仅 3 行，批准。
