* fix: detect context length for custom model endpoints via fuzzy matching + config override
Custom model endpoints (non-OpenRouter, non-known-provider) were silently
falling back to 2M tokens when the model name didn't exactly match what the
endpoint's /v1/models reported. This happened because:
1. Endpoint metadata lookup used exact match only — model name mismatches
(e.g. 'qwen3.5:9b' vs 'Qwen3.5-9B-Q4_K_M.gguf') caused a miss
2. Single-model servers (common for local inference) required exact name
match even though only one model was loaded
3. No user escape hatch to manually set context length
Changes:
- Add fuzzy matching for endpoint model metadata: single-model servers
use the only available model regardless of name; multi-model servers
try substring matching in both directions
- Add model.context_length config override (highest priority) so users
can explicitly set their model's context length in config.yaml
- Log an informative message when falling back to 2M probe, telling
users about the config override option
- Thread config_context_length through ContextCompressor and AIAgent init
Tests: 6 new tests covering fuzzy match, single-model fallback, config
override (including zero/None edge cases).
* fix: auto-detect local model name and context length for local servers
Cherry-picked from PR #2043 by sudoingX.
- Auto-detect model name from local server's /v1/models when only one
model is loaded (no manual model name config needed)
- Add n_ctx_train and n_ctx to context length detection keys for llama.cpp
- Query llama.cpp /props endpoint for actual allocated context (not just
training context from GGUF metadata)
- Strip .gguf suffix from display in banner and status bar
- _auto_detect_local_model() in runtime_provider.py for CLI init

* fix: revert accidental summary_target_tokens change + add docs for context_length config
- Revert summary_target_tokens from 2500 back to 500 (accidental change
during patching)
- Add 'Context Length Detection' section to Custom & Self-Hosted docs
explaining model.context_length config override

* perf: cache base_url.lower() via property, consolidate triple load_config(), hoist set constant
run_agent.py:
- Add base_url property that auto-caches _base_url_lower on every
assignment, eliminating 12+ redundant .lower() calls per API cycle
across __init__, _build_api_kwargs, _supports_reasoning_extra_body,
and the main conversation loop
- Consolidate three separate load_config() disk reads in __init__
(memory, skills, compression) into a single call, reusing the
result dict for all three config sections
model_tools.py:
- Hoist _READ_SEARCH_TOOLS set to module level (was rebuilt inside
handle_function_call on every tool invocation)
* Use endpoint metadata for custom model context and pricing

When container_persistent=false, the inner mini-swe-agent cleanup only
runs 'docker stop' in the background, leaving containers in Exited state.
Now cleanup() also runs 'docker rm -f' to fully remove the container.
Also fixes pre-existing test failures in model_metadata (gpt-4.1 1M context),
setup tests (TTS provider step), and adds MockInnerDocker.cleanup().
Original fix by crazywriter1. Cherry-picked and adapted for current main.
Fixes#1679
Salvaged from PR #1708 by @kartikkabadi. Cherry-picked with authorship preserved.
Fixes pre-existing test failures from setup TTS prompt flow changes and environment-sensitive assumptions.

Replaces the unsafe 128K fallback for unknown models with a descending
probe strategy (2M → 1M → 512K → 200K → 128K → 64K → 32K). When a
context-length error occurs, the agent steps down tiers and retries.
The discovered limit is cached per model+provider combo in
~/.hermes/context_length_cache.yaml so subsequent sessions skip probing.
Also parses API error messages to extract the actual context limit
(e.g. 'maximum context length is 32768 tokens') for instant resolution.
The CLI banner now displays the context window size next to the model
name (e.g. 'claude-opus-4 · 200K context · Nous Research').
Changes:
- agent/model_metadata.py: CONTEXT_PROBE_TIERS, persistent cache
(save/load/get), parse_context_limit_from_error(), get_next_probe_tier()
- agent/context_compressor.py: accepts base_url, passes to metadata
- run_agent.py: step-down logic in context error handler, caches on success
- cli.py + hermes_cli/banner.py: context length in welcome banner
- tests: 22 new tests for probing, parsing, and caching
Addresses #132. PR #319's approach (8K default) rejected — too conservative.
