Replace the HERMES_ENABLE_NOUS_MANAGED_TOOLS env-var feature flag with
subscription-based detection. The Tool Gateway is now available to any
paid Nous subscriber without needing a hidden env var.
Core changes:
- managed_nous_tools_enabled() checks get_nous_auth_status() +
check_nous_free_tier() instead of an env var
- New use_gateway config flag per tool section (web, tts, browser,
image_gen) records explicit user opt-in and overrides direct API
keys at runtime
- New prefers_gateway(section) shared helper in tool_backend_helpers.py
used by all 4 tool runtimes (web, tts, image gen, browser)
UX flow:
- hermes model: after Nous login/model selection, shows a curses
prompt listing all gateway-eligible tools with current status.
User chooses to enable all, enable only unconfigured tools, or skip.
Defaults to Enable for new users, Skip when direct keys exist.
- hermes tools: provider selection now manages use_gateway flag —
selecting Nous Subscription sets it, selecting any other provider
clears it
- hermes status: renamed section to Nous Tool Gateway, added
free-tier upgrade nudge for logged-in free users
- curses_radiolist: new description parameter for multi-line context
that survives the screen clear
Runtime behavior:
- Each tool runtime (web_tools, tts_tool, image_generation_tool,
browser_use) checks prefers_gateway() before falling back to
direct env-var credentials
- get_nous_subscription_features() respects use_gateway flags,
suppressing direct credential detection when the user opted in
Removed:
- HERMES_ENABLE_NOUS_MANAGED_TOOLS env var and all references
- apply_nous_provider_defaults() silent TTS auto-set
- get_nous_subscription_explainer_lines() static text
- Override env var warnings (use_gateway handles this properly now)
Centralize container detection in hermes_constants.is_container() with
process-lifetime caching, matching existing is_wsl()/is_termux() patterns.
Dedup _is_inside_container() in config.py to delegate to the new function.
Add _run_systemctl() wrapper that converts FileNotFoundError to RuntimeError
for defense-in-depth — all 10 bare subprocess.run(_systemctl_cmd(...)) call
sites now route through it.
Make supports_systemd_services() return False in containers and when
systemctl binary is absent (shutil.which check).
Add Docker-specific guidance in gateway_command() for install/uninstall/start
subcommands — exit 0 with helpful instructions instead of crashing.
Make 'hermes status' show 'Manager: docker (foreground)' and 'hermes dump'
show 'running (docker, pid N)' inside containers.
Fix setup_gateway() to use supports_systemd instead of _is_linux for all
systemd-related branches, and show Docker restart policy instructions in
containers.
Replace inline /.dockerenv check in voice_mode.py with is_container().

setup_model_provider() had 800+ lines of duplicated provider handling
that reimplemented the same credential prompting, OAuth flows, and model
selection that hermes model already provides via the _model_flow_*
functions. Every new provider had to be added in both places, and the
two implementations diverged in config persistence (setup.py did raw
YAML writes, _set_model_provider, and _update_config_for_provider
depending on the provider — main.py used its own load/save cycle).
This caused the #4172 bug: _model_flow_custom saved config to disk but
the wizard's final save_config(config) overwrote it with stale values.
Fix: extract the core of cmd_model() into select_provider_and_model()
and have setup_model_provider() call it. After the call, re-sync the
wizard's config dict from disk. Deletes ~800 lines of duplicated
provider handling from setup.py.
Also fixes cmd_model() double-AuthError crash on fresh installs with
no API keys configured.
_model_flow_custom() saved model.provider and model.base_url to disk
via its own load_config/save_config cycle, but never updated the
setup wizard's in-memory config dict. The wizard's final
save_config(config) then overwrote the custom settings with the
stale default string model value.
Fix: after saving to disk, also mutate the caller's config dict so
the wizard's final save preserves model.provider='custom' and the
base_url. Both the model_name and no-model_name branches are
covered.
Added regression tests that simulate the full wizard flow including
the final save_config(config) call — the step that was previously
untested.
- add managed modal and gateway-backed tool integrations\n- improve CLI setup, auth, and configuration for subscriber flows\n- expand tests and docs for managed tool support
Move OpenRouter to position 1 in the setup wizard's provider list
to match hermes model ordering. Update default selection index and
fix test expectations for the new ordering.
Setup order: OpenRouter → Nous Portal → Codex → Custom → ...
Replace the fragile hardcoded context length system with a multi-source
resolution chain that correctly identifies context windows per provider.
Key changes:
- New agent/models_dev.py: Fetches and caches the models.dev registry
(3800+ models across 100+ providers with per-provider context windows).
In-memory cache (1hr TTL) + disk cache for cold starts.
- Rewritten get_model_context_length() resolution chain:
0. Config override (model.context_length)
1. Custom providers per-model context_length
2. Persistent disk cache
3. Endpoint /models (local servers)
4. Anthropic /v1/models API (max_input_tokens, API-key only)
5. OpenRouter live API (existing, unchanged)
6. Nous suffix-match via OpenRouter (dot/dash normalization)
7. models.dev registry lookup (provider-aware)
8. Thin hardcoded defaults (broad family patterns)
9. 128K fallback (was 2M)
- Provider-aware context: same model now correctly resolves to different
context windows per provider (e.g. claude-opus-4.6: 1M on Anthropic,
128K on GitHub Copilot). Provider name flows through ContextCompressor.
- DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS shrunk from 80+ entries to ~16 broad patterns.
models.dev replaces the per-model hardcoding.
- CONTEXT_PROBE_TIERS changed from [2M, 1M, 512K, 200K, 128K, 64K, 32K]
to [128K, 64K, 32K, 16K, 8K]. Unknown models no longer start at 2M.
- hermes model: prompts for context_length when configuring custom
endpoints. Supports shorthand (32k, 128K). Saved to custom_providers
per-model config.
- custom_providers schema extended with optional models dict for
per-model context_length (backward compatible).
- Nous Portal: suffix-matches bare IDs (claude-opus-4-6) against
OpenRouter's prefixed IDs (anthropic/claude-opus-4.6) with dot/dash
normalization. Handles all 15 current Nous models.
- Anthropic direct: queries /v1/models for max_input_tokens. Only works
with regular API keys (sk-ant-api*), not OAuth tokens. Falls through
to models.dev for OAuth users.
Tests: 5574 passed (18 new tests for models_dev + updated probe tiers)
Docs: Updated configuration.md context length section, AGENTS.md

- Remove test_nous_api_setup_preserves_model_provider_metadata (nous-api
provider no longer exists, test selected Nous OAuth which hangs waiting
for browser login)
- Fix test_nous_oauth_setup prompt_choice index: 1→0 (Nous Portal is
now first option after nous-api removal)
- gateway/run.py: Take main's _resolve_gateway_model() helper
- hermes_cli/setup.py: Re-apply nous-api removal after merge brought
it back. Fix provider_idx offset (Custom is now index 3, not 4).
- tests/hermes_cli/test_setup.py: Fix custom setup test index (3→4)
