PR #57601's original branch added a top-level reasoning_effort emit to the
LEGACY build_kwargs path (agent/transports/chat_completions.py), but
provider=custom resolves to CustomProfile (plugins/model-providers/custom/),
so chat_completion_helpers takes the profile path and returns early — the
added branch was unreachable dead code for every custom endpoint.
Move the fix to its real site, CustomProfile.build_api_kwargs_extras(), and
follow the DeepSeek/Zai profile precedent:
- disabled -> extra_body.think = False (unchanged)
- enabled + effort -> TOP-LEVEL reasoning_effort (the OpenAI-compatible
format GLM-5.2/ARK expect), passed through verbatim
incl. max/xhigh
- enabled + no effort -> omit, so the endpoint's server default applies
(avoids silently forcing 'medium' as the original
branch did)
Deliberately does NOT force think=True on enable — that flag is Ollama-only
and risks a 400 on GLM/vLLM endpoints that don't recognize it; thinking is
already server-default-on for these backends.
Verified end-to-end through the real profile dispatch (temp HERMES_HOME):
custom+high -> reasoning_effort=high; custom+max -> reasoning_effort=max;
custom+none -> think=False; custom+unset -> nothing; num_ctx composes.
Adds tests/plugins/model_providers/test_custom_profile.py (13 cases).
Addresses the custom-provider half of #55276.

The /model interactive picker resolved a base_url from user credentials
but never passed it to ProviderProfile.fetch_models(), causing the
picker to always query the provider's hardcoded default endpoint
instead of the user's custom URL (e.g. a company litellm proxy).
- providers/base.py: add optional base_url parameter to fetch_models()
- hermes_cli/models.py: pass resolved base_url to fetch_models()
- Update all subclass overrides for signature compatibility
- Add 6 regression tests covering override, fallback, and integration
The custom/Ollama provider profile had no default_max_tokens, so no
max_tokens was sent on requests and Ollama fell back to its internal
num_predict=128 — truncating responses after a few tokens with
finish_reason='length' (#39281, e.g. gemma4).
max_tokens resolution is ephemeral > user model.max_tokens > profile
default, so this is only a floor used when the user hasn't set their own
cap. Set it to 65536 (matching the qwen-oauth tier) rather than a
conservative value, since users can always override per-model.
Fixes#39281
Every provider profile is now a self-contained plugin under
plugins/model-providers/<name>/, mirroring the plugins/platforms/
pattern established for IRC and Teams. The ProviderProfile ABC
stays in providers/; the per-provider profile data moves out.
- plugins/model-providers/<name>/__init__.py calls register_provider()
- plugins/model-providers/<name>/plugin.yaml declares kind: model-provider
- providers/__init__.py._discover_providers() lazily scans bundled plugins
then $HERMES_HOME/plugins/model-providers/<name>/ (user override path)
- User plugins with the same name override bundled ones (last-writer-wins
in register_provider)
- Legacy providers/<name>.py layout still supported for back-compat with
out-of-tree editable installs
- Hermes PluginManager: new kind=model-provider; skipped like memory
plugins (providers/ discovery owns them); standalone plugins with
register_provider+ProviderProfile in their __init__.py auto-coerce to
this kind (same heuristic as memory providers)
- skip_names extended to include 'model-providers' so the general
PluginManager doesn't double-scan the category
- 4 new tests in tests/providers/test_plugin_discovery.py covering
bundled discovery, user override, and general-loader isolation
- Docs updated: website/docs/developer-guide/adding-providers.md,
provider-runtime.md, providers/README.md, plugins/model-providers/README.md
No API break: auth.py / config.py / doctor.py / models.py / runtime_provider.py /
model_metadata.py / auxiliary_client.py / chat_completions.py / run_agent.py
all still consume providers via get_provider_profile() / list_providers() —
they just now see plugin-discovered entries instead of pkgutil-iterated ones.
Third parties can now drop a single directory into
~/.hermes/plugins/model-providers/<name>/ to add or override an inference
provider without touching the repo.
