Provider matrix
Managed-provider operating matrix
The managed providers Dolphin can route to, with region and sovereignty posture. Source of truth is
packages/provider-adapters/src/provider-registry.ts; keep this table in sync when the registry changes.
This is staff-only — real provider names never appear on the customer help portal (aliases only, D-5).

Sovereignty key
jp_sovereign— Japan-domiciled processing. Lead with these for customers asking about domestic data handling.us_jurisdiction— US-jurisdiction processing. Disclose in the DPA; acceptable for most tenants.global_edge— Globally distributed edge processing.china_processing— China-domiciled. Default OFF; never enabled without explicit per-tenant approval.
China-provider gating
DeepSeek and Kimi/Moonshot are default-off and gated per tenant (doc 05 §3). They are never routed to unless a tenant has been explicitly approved. Use the China-provider talking points in sales enablement when a customer asks why these are not on by default.
