_normalize_custom_provider_entry silently drops the models field when it's
a list. Hand-edited configs (and the shape used by older Hermes versions)
still write models as a plain list of ids, so after the normalize pass the
entry reaches list_authenticated_providers() with no models and /model
shows the provider with (0) models — even though the underlying picker
code handles lists fine.
Convert list-format models into the empty-value dict shape the rest of
the pipeline already expects. Dict-format entries keep passing through
unchanged.
Repro (before the fix):
custom_providers:
- name: acme
base_url: https://api.example.com/v1
models: [foo, bar, baz]
/model shows "acme (0)"; bypassing normalize in list_authenticated_providers
returns three models, confirming the drop happens in normalize.
Adds four unit tests covering list→dict conversion, dict pass-through,
filtering of empty/non-string entries, and the empty-list case.
Cherry-picked from PR #9359 by @luyao618.
- Accept camelCase aliases (apiKey, baseUrl, apiMode, keyEnv, defaultModel,
contextLength, rateLimitDelay) with auto-mapping to snake_case + warning
- Validate URL field values with urlparse (scheme + netloc check) — reject
non-URL strings like 'openai-reverse-proxy' that were silently accepted
- Warn on unknown keys in provider config entries
- Re-order URL field priority: base_url > url > api (was api > url > base_url)
- 12 new tests covering all scenarios
Closes#9332
