Additional Notes

This PR respects and continues the excellent work done by @PrasangAPrajapati in #8321. The original PR became stale due to merge conflicts with main branch updates. This continuation ensures the IBM watsonx provider integration can be merged into the codebase.

Credit for the implementation goes to the original author @PrasangAPrajapati and reviewers including @daniel-lxs who provided code quality improvements.

Formatting Changes Automatically Resolved

The following files had formatting-only differences compared to upstream/main:

• apps/web-roo-code/src/app/cloud/page.tsx
• apps/web-roo-code/src/app/pricing/page.tsx
• locales/ (multiple README.md files)
• src/api/providers/fetchers/chutes.ts
• src/core/tools/__tests__/editFileTool.spec.ts
• webview-ui/src/components/marketplace/MarketplaceView.tsx
• README.md

These files were temporarily reverted to match upstream/main, but the pre-commit hook with Prettier automatically reformatted them back to the same state, resulting in no net changes. This indicates that the formatting differences were automatically handled by the project's Prettier configuration.

I’ll merge the latest main and update it for the native tool calls, so I’m moving it back to draft.
