#3586470 "Make API explorer work with Symfony platform and legacy providers"

Wolfgang Zieglerrequested to merge
issue/ai-3586470:3586470-make-api-explorer-wo into 2.0.x

Description

Closes #3586470

Makes ai_api_explorer (and any other consumer of AiProviderFormHelper) work with the new AiPlatform-backed providers while keeping legacy AiProvider plugins fully supported during the migration window.

The MR also does some small UI-changes (menu links) and names legacy AI providers legacy in the UI, to avoid confusion.

Changes

  • AiProviderPluginManager::getProvidersForOperationType() now returns both kinds in one listing:
    • Legacy AiProvider plugins (bare-id keys, e.g. echoai) — label prefixed with Legacy: so dropdowns can disambiguate at a glance
  • AiProviderFormHelper::getAiProvidersOptions() switched from getDefinitions() (legacy-only) to getProvidersForOperationType(), so the explorer dropdown finally lists both. Same change benefits every consumer of generateAiProvidersForm().
  • ai.links.menu.yml — added entity.ai_platform.collection ("AI Platforms") under "AI Infrastructure"; renamed the legacy entry to "AI Legacy Providers".

Testing instructions

  • install API explorer and ai_test modules
  • Test both EchoAI and Legacy EchoAI providers work
