No budget config found for provider {provider}, provider_bud

Error message

No budget config found for provider {provider}, provider_budget_config: {self.provider_budget_config}

What it means

Budget accounting guard: a provider appears in deployment spend tracking but has no entry in provider_budget_config, so the router cannot determine that provider's budget limit; the config map is included for debugging.
