Major Changes

• ef992f8: Remove CommonJS exports from all packages. All packages are now ESM-only ("type": "module"). Consumers using require() must switch to ESM import syntax.

• c29a26f: feat(provider): add support for provider references and uploading files as supported per provider

• 8359612: Start v7 pre-release

• 04e9009: chore: make provider implementations code patterns more consistent, including renaming certain exported symbols

  For all externally exported symbols that were renamed, the old names continue to work via deprecated aliases.

• 90e2d8a: chore: fix unused vars not being flagged by our lint tooling

• 52d2e30: fix(open-responses): map non-image file parts to input_file

• b3976a2: Add workflow serialization support to all provider models.

  @ai-sdk/provider-utils: New serializeModel() helper that extracts only serializable properties from a model instance, filtering out functions and objects containing functions. Third-party provider authors can use this to add workflow support to their own models.

  All providers: headers is now optional in provider config types. This is non-breaking — existing code that passes headers continues to work. Custom provider implementations that construct model configs manually can now omit headers, which is useful when models are deserialized from a workflow step boundary where auth is provided separately.

  All provider model classes now include WORKFLOW_SERIALIZE and WORKFLOW_DESERIALIZE static methods, enabling them to cross workflow step boundaries without serialization errors.

• ff5eba1: feat: roll image-* tool output types into their equivalent file-* types
