Subject: [PATCH] fix: pin litellm upper bound to last tested version (1.82.6)
 (#5044)

The litellm optional dependency had a wide upper bound (<3) that allowed
any future litellm release to be installed automatically. This means
breaking changes in new litellm versions could affect customers immediately.

Pins the upper bound to <=1.82.6 (current latest known-good version).
When newer litellm versions are tested and validated, bump this bound
explicitly.
