GLM-5.2 ships with a 1M (1,048,576) token context window. Without this
entry, Hermes falls through to the generic 'glm' key (202,752 tokens),
under-reporting the context bar and prematurely compressing conversations.
The 1M limit was verified empirically via needle-in-a-haystack retrieval
at 789,240 prompt tokens on api.z.ai/api/coding/paas/v4 — zero errors,
zero truncation, correct retrieval at every tested size (25K through 789K).
Changes:
- agent/model_metadata.py: add 'glm-5.2': 1_048_576 before 'glm' fallback
- hermes_cli/models.py: add glm-5.2 to zai curated models
- hermes_cli/setup.py: add glm-5.2 to setup wizard zai list
- hermes_cli/auth.py: add glm-5.2 to coding plan endpoint probes
- plugins/model-providers/zai/__init__.py: add glm-5.2 to fallback_models
- tests/agent/test_model_metadata.py: context resolution + vendor-prefix tests
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.
