## Title

    [Hugging Face TGI] 422 "Input validation error: `top_p` must be > 0.0 and < 1.0" when OpenAI-style clients send top_p=1.0

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): TGI validates top_p strictly inside (0,1); 1.0 is the internal default when top_p is omitted but is rejected when a user sends it explicitly. typical_p has the same rule.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - HTTP 422 status for validation errors is from general TGI behavior; not re-verified in this source read.
    
    Other error fragments:
    - `top_p` must be > 0.0 and < 1.0
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference/b4adbf2f6e2e721280bd0ea5f91d70f7d033f5ed/router/src/validation.rs (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): top_p mapped: value <= 0.0 or >= 1.0 -> ValidationError::TopP; default resolved to 1.0 when unset; comment notes proto default not valid for user.
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference/b4adbf2f6e2e721280bd0ea5f91d70f7d033f5ed/router/src/infer/mod.rs (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): InferError wraps validation errors as Input validation error.
    
    Search phrasings: TGI top_p must be > 0.0 and < 1.0; text-generation-inference top_p 1.0 validation error langchain
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
