  This feature allows users to add custom HTTP headers to playground requests, enabling injection of provider-specific metadata (e.g. request IDs) via a JSON editor in the model config panel. The change extends the `GenerativeModelInput` schema to include `customHeaders`, with validation, per-provider storage, and conditional support.&#x20;
