ai.internal._from_shorthand

(internal) !!! DRIFT HAZARD !!! This is the RUNTIME half of the "provider/model" shorthand map. Its compile-time twin is `spec_client_provider` in `crates/baml_compiler2_ast/src/lower_cst.rs`, which lowers a literal `client "openai/gpt-4o-mini"` straight to a constructor call. The two maps must list the SAME prefixes and pick the SAME class for each one — a `client:` written as a literal and the identical string arriving here at runtime have to select the same client. Change one, change the other, and update `_shorthand_prefixes` above.
