Review follow-ups on the cherry-picked #36043 commit:
1. Guard the custom:<name> passthrough with a _get_named_custom_provider
lookup. The PR unconditionally kept the full custom:<name> string, which
broke config-less runtime custom providers (#34777 regression — entries
that exist only in the live runtime, not config.yaml): the named arm
found no entry and resolution fell through to Step 2. Now custom:<name>
only takes the named arm when a config entry actually exists; otherwise
it collapses to the anonymous-custom arm with the runtime endpoint,
preserving pre-PR behavior.
2. Drop the dead 'explicit_api_key = runtime_api_key' assignment (and its
misleading comment) in the named-entry branch. resolve_provider_client's
named-custom arm derives the key exclusively from the entry's
api_key/key_env and never reads explicit_api_key, so the assignment was
a no-op. Wiring precedence in was not justified: for a named custom
provider the runtime key IS the entry's key (set_runtime_main sources it
from the same config), so deletion is the honest option.
3. Tighten the Palantir Bearer-auth check from a loose substring match
('palantirfoundry' in normalized) to a hostname match via
base_url_host_matches(..., 'palantirfoundry.com'), so path segments or
lookalike domains containing the string no longer trigger Bearer auth.
Tests: named-custom anthropic_messages end-to-end routing (full name kept,
AnthropicAuxiliaryClient at the original /anthropic URL, no /v1 rewrite)
plus Palantir Bearer-auth positive and substring-false-positive cases.
When the user's main provider is a named custom_providers entry exposing an
Anthropic Messages surface (e.g. Palantir Foundry's
/api/v2/llm/proxy/anthropic, custom LiteLLM/Bedrock proxies), auxiliary
tasks (title generation, compression, web extract, session search, etc.)
returned HTTP 404 NOT_FOUND for every call.
Root cause: `_resolve_auto` collapsed any `custom:<name>` main provider
to plain `"custom"` and passed runtime_base_url as explicit_base_url.
This landed in `resolve_provider_client`'s anonymous-custom arm
(`if provider == "custom":`), which unconditionally calls
`_to_openai_base_url` — that helper strips a trailing `/anthropic` and
substitutes `/v1` (designed for MiniMax/ZAI which expose both surfaces).
The result for Palantir is `/api/v2/llm/proxy/v1`, which does not exist
on the proxy — every auxiliary call 404s. The runtime `api_mode=
anthropic_messages` flag was discarded by this arm.
Fix: split the conditional so only the literal `"custom"` provider takes
the anonymous-custom path; `custom:<name>` keeps its full `custom:<name>`
string when handed to `resolve_provider_client`, where the
named-custom-provider arm (added in earlier work) honours the entry's
`api_mode` and routes through `AnthropicAuxiliaryClient` against the
original `/anthropic` URL.
Also: extend `_requires_bearer_auth` in `anthropic_adapter.py` to
recognise palantirfoundry hosts so the SDK sends `Authorization: Bearer`
instead of the default `x-api-key` (Palantir's proxy rejects x-api-key
with 401).
Verified end-to-end against a live Palantir Foundry deployment with both
claude-4-6-opus and claude-4-7-opus models — `generate_title` returns
real titles instead of 404ing. Regression-tested:
- anonymous `custom` (with base_url) still routes to OpenAI wire
- built-in NVIDIA provider unchanged
- custom-without-base_url still falls through to Step-2 chain
* feat(analytics): record auxiliary model usage per task in session accounting
Auxiliary LLM calls (vision, compression, title_generation, web_extract,
session_search, ...) discarded their token usage, leaving dashboard
analytics blind to aux model spend (issue #23270).
- hermes_state.py: session_model_usage gains a task PK dimension
(''=main loop) via v22 table-rebuild migration (SQLite can't alter a
PK); record_auxiliary_usage() writes per-(model,provider,task) deltas
WITHOUT touching sessions counters (gateway overwrites those with
absolute main-loop totals — folding aux in would double-count or be
clobbered). Aux rows never inherit the session's main-loop route.
- agent/aux_accounting.py: ContextVar ambient accounting context
(mirrors the portal_tags conversation context); record_aux_usage()
normalizes usage via usage_pricing.normalize_usage, estimates cost,
and is strictly best-effort. moa_reference/moa_aggregator excluded —
conversation_loop already folds MoA usage+cost into the main delta.
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: _validate_llm_response is the recording
chokepoint — every successful non-streaming aux response passes
through it exactly once, sync and async, including fallback paths
(model read from the response itself stays accurate across
fallbacks).
- run_agent.py: run_conversation publishes/resets the accounting
context; agent/title_generator.py republishes on its bare thread.
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: /api/analytics/usage folds aux rows into
by_model (aux-only models finally appear) and adds a by_task
summary; /api/analytics/models surfaces aux rows on the Models page.
Design per review of PR #62850 by @eeksock (thread-local + separate
auxiliary_usage table): rebuilt on ContextVar (async-safe — thread-local
cross-attributes concurrent coroutines on one event loop) and the
existing session_model_usage table instead of a parallel accounting
path, extended beyond vision to every aux task, and wired the analytics
endpoints so the dashboard actually shows it. Credit to @eeksock for
the approach and @tboatman for the detailed root-cause analysis.
* test(moa): match _validate_llm_response mock to new accounting-hint signature
* test(aux): accept accounting-hint kwargs in remaining _validate_llm_response mocks
Fixes#62452. Two amplifiers turned one slow auxiliary route into a
per-turn multi-minute stall:
1. Fallback candidates inherited the exact effective_timeout the primary
was called with. When the primary's deadline was short (tuned or
already burned), an independently healthy fallback died on the same
clock — the reporter's 163k-token compression needed ~90s on the
fallback and got the primary's 30s, every turn. fallback_chain
entries may now declare their own 'timeout' (seconds); both fallback
candidate call sites (sync + async) resolve it via
_fallback_entry_timeout, label-scoped so only configured-chain
candidates are affected. No entry timeout → task-level timeout,
preserving existing behavior.
2. A session whose transcript structurally cannot be summarized within
the deadline re-attempted every 60s, re-burning the full timeout on
every subsequent turn. Consecutive timeout-class failures now
escalate the cooldown 60s → 300s → 900s (capped); any successful
summary or session reset clears the streak. Timeout classification
takes precedence over the streaming-closed 30s rung ('timed out'
also matches _is_connection_error) and now recognizes the SDK's
'Request timed out.' phrasing.
Fail-safe behavior is unchanged: all messages are preserved when every
candidate fails; the cooldown only spaces out retries.
Follow-up on the salvaged fallback: silent degradation is how #64333 went
unnoticed (jobs dead on arrival, only errors.log knew). Warn once with a
resync hint, and cover both the skewed and healthy paths with tests.
Two related bugs in _AnthropicCompletionsAdapter.create() in
agent/auxiliary_client.py silently discard caller-supplied
reasoning_config and extra_body on the Anthropic-Messages
auxiliary-protocol path:
* Bug A: reasoning_config=None was hardcoded at L1000, so the
reasoning_config parameter on build_anthropic_kwargs was
unreachable for any auxiliary task. The main agent path
(agent/transports/anthropic.py) already reads
reasoning_config from caller params; this PR aligns the
auxiliary adapter with the same pattern.
* Bug B: create(**kwargs) accepts an OpenAI-style kwargs
payload from the caller but only forwards a hand-picked
subset to self._client.messages.create(). Any caller-supplied
extra_body (e.g. thinking control, metadata, service_tier,
vendor-specific fields) was dropped on the floor. The
codex/responses transport in the same file already merges
extra_body; the Anthropic branch is the gap.
This unlocks the caller-supplied extra_body path so auxiliary
callers can set per-vendor request fields (including
thinking: {type: "disabled"} for Anthropic-compatible vendors
that require an explicit disable on the wire), and lets the
reasoning_config kwarg flow into build_anthropic_kwargs like the
main agent does. Both changes are backward-compatible for
callers that don't pass the affected kwargs.
Affected providers (all routed through _AnthropicCompletionsAdapter
via _maybe_wrap_anthropic): anthropic (native), minimax /
minimax-cn, kimi-coding / kimi-coding-cn, z.ai / GLM, and any
custom /anthropic-suffixed endpoint. See PR description for
related issues (#35566, #7209, #16533, #32813, #29248).
The just-merged auxiliary.<task>.reasoning_effort shorthand applied
ensemble-wide to MoA (one value for every advisor) — wrong granularity.
Per-slot preset config supersedes it:
moa:
presets:
deep_review:
reference_models:
- {provider: ..., model: ..., reasoning_effort: low}
- {provider: ..., model: ..., reasoning_effort: xhigh}
aggregator:
{provider: ..., model: ..., reasoning_effort: high}
- Remove reasoning_effort from the moa_reference/moa_aggregator
DEFAULT_CONFIG blocks; _get_task_extra_body now warns-and-ignores the
key on MoA tasks, pointing at the preset config
- Guard tests: MoA aux blocks must not regrow the key; task-level value
is rejected with the pointer warning
- Docs: configuration.md notes the MoA exception and links the MoA page
Every auxiliary task block (vision, web_extract, compression,
title_generation, curator, background_review, moa_reference, ...) now
accepts a reasoning_effort shorthand:
auxiliary:
compression:
reasoning_effort: low
vision:
reasoning_effort: none
_get_task_extra_body() folds it into extra_body.reasoning, which every
auxiliary wire already translates: chat.completions passes it through,
the Codex Responses adapter maps it to top-level reasoning/include, and
the Anthropic auxiliary adapter now forwards it into
build_anthropic_kwargs(reasoning_config=...) (previously hardcoded None).
An explicit extra_body.reasoning on the same task wins over the
shorthand. Invalid levels are ignored with a warning. Empty string
(the shipped default) is a no-op — zero behavior change.
Config: reasoning_effort added to all 16 auxiliary task blocks in
DEFAULT_CONFIG (no version bump — deep-merge handles new keys).
_CodexCompletionsAdapter (agent/auxiliary_client.py) is a second,
independent producer of Codex Responses input — used by auxiliary
calls (context compression, flush_memories, MoA aggregation,
session_search) that route through CodexAuxiliaryClient instead of
the main agent's ResponsesApiTransport.build_kwargs. It calls
_chat_messages_to_responses_input() directly without is_github_responses,
so the previous commit's fix didn't cover it: an auxiliary call made
against a Copilot-backed session could still replay a connection-scoped
codex_message_items id and hit the same HTTP 401.
Detect the Copilot host from the adapter's own client.base_url (same
check the adapter already does further down for prompt_cache_key
opt-out) and pass is_github_responses through, closing the gap.
Still #32716.

dict.get(key, default) returns None (not the default) when the key
EXISTS with value None. The default only applies when the key is ABSENT.
Chained method calls (.strip(), .upper(), .count()) crash with
AttributeError on NoneType.
Fix two confirmed hits:
- auxiliary_client.py: custom provider base_url/api_key (config null)
- anthropic_adapter.py: text block content (API null response)
Pattern: .get(key, "").method() → (.get(key) or "").method()
Close the remaining end-to-end gaps so the full gpt-5.6 family (sol/
terra/luna + their -pro high-effort modes, 6 slugs) works on every
surface a user can reach them through:
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: the Codex OAuth backend hard-caps context
at 272K for gpt-5.6 exactly as it does for 5.4/5.5, but the default
50% compaction trigger would summarize at ~136K and waste half the
usable window. Extend the existing _is_codex_gpt54_or_gpt55 chokepoint
(single enforced predicate feeding _compression_threshold_for_model)
to match gpt-5.6* on the openai-codex route so those sessions get the
same 0.85 auto-raise. Direct-API/OpenRouter routes (full 1.05M window)
are unaffected; the historical codex_gpt55_autoraise opt-out still
applies. The one-time notice banner is model-dynamic and already
renders the correct slug/cap.
- hermes_cli/config.py, agent/agent_init.py: refresh the autoraise
comments/notice to mention the 5.6 family.
- hermes_cli/codex_models.py: add the -pro variants to DEFAULT_CODEX_MODELS
+ forward-compat so ChatGPT-OAuth (openai-codex) Pro users see the full
family in /model, not just the base tiers.
Supersedes the earlier commit's note that 5.6 was intentionally kept out
of the codex catalog: the slugs are confirmed routable (OpenRouter live
+ codex backend), so they belong there like every other codex-capable
gpt-5.x slug.
E2E verified across all 6 slugs: direct-API ctx 1.05M, codex ctx 272K,
pricing reachable from openai + openai-api routes, codex compaction
override 0.85 (and None on direct-API + when opted out), present in
openai-api picker + codex catalog, /model gpt resolves to sol on both
native routes. Guard tests added for the compaction route matrix.
Review findings on the salvaged shim: (a) OpenAI callers may pass stop as
a bare string but Converse's stopSequences requires a list — normalize;
(b) call_llm(stream=True) (MoA aggregator) can reach this client and the
shim silently returned a complete response — keep that behavior (the
streaming consumer's got-final-object path downgrades gracefully) but log
it, and log dropped tool_choice, instead of silently ignoring both.
+2 regression tests.
Follow-up to the salvage of #60217 by @xxxigm.
Auxiliary Bedrock resolution always used the Anthropic Bedrock SDK, which
only works for Claude foundation-model IDs. Non-Claude models such as
openai.gpt-oss-20b-1:0 now use a Bedrock Converse adapter, matching the
main agent's bedrock_converse transport.
A fallback candidate can itself carry a stale credential (e.g. an
expired ANTHROPIC_TOKEN picked up by _try_anthropic). Its 401 previously
propagated out of the fallback call site and aborted the auxiliary task
— for compression: a 60s cooldown + context marker while the session
kept growing past the context cap. Live case: mattalachia debug dump
(Jul 2026), Codex timeout → Anthropic 401 x5 → 296K 'Cannot compress
further'.
Now each fallback candidate call is wrapped: on auth error, refresh the
candidate's provider credentials and retry once; if unrefreshable, mark
the provider unhealthy and walk the discovery chain again so the next
viable candidate serves. Sync + async paths. Non-auth errors still
raise unchanged.
Infer the concrete auxiliary auth provider from the selected client base
URL so provider:auto routes can refresh Copilot/Codex/Anthropic/Nous
credentials after auth errors, instead of skipping refresh because
resolved_provider stayed 'auto'. Adds the copilot branch to
_refresh_provider_credentials and evicts the stale auto-route cache
before retrying.
Fixes#20832. Salvaged from PR #20837, reapplied surgically onto current
main (branch predated the _retry_same_provider_sync/async extraction).
The Codex gpt-5.5 compaction autoraise (#40957) overrode the effective
threshold unconditionally. If a user had set compression.threshold above
0.85, agent_init dropped them down to 0.85. That wastes usable window and
contradicts the feature's whole point: use more of the context, not less.
It happened silently too, since the one-time notice is suppressed when the
override doesn't raise.
The override is an autoraise. It must only raise. Pulled the apply logic
into a small pure helper that clamps the Codex case to never lower a
higher-or-equal user threshold, and emits the notice only when it actually
fires. Other overrides (Arcee Trinity) keep their existing unconditional
behavior.
Fixes the Codex gpt-5.5 compaction autoraise lowering a user's higher
configured threshold. A user on the Codex OAuth route with
compression.threshold > 0.85 was silently clamped to 0.85, compacting
earlier than they asked and using less of the 272K window the feature was
meant to unlock. The autoraise now only ever raises.

- `agent/agent_init.py`: added `_resolve_compression_threshold()`, a pure
helper that combines the global threshold with a per-model override. The
Codex gpt-5.5 autoraise never lowers a higher-or-equal user threshold;
the notice is returned only when it actually raises. Rewired `init_agent`
to call it, replacing the unconditional `compression_threshold = _model_cthresh`.
- `tests/agent/test_arcee_trinity_overrides.py`: added 5 cases for the
helper — raise from default, never-lower regression, equal-is-noop,
no-override passthrough, and non-codex (Trinity) unconditional apply.
1. Set `compression.threshold: 0.90` and run gpt-5.5 on provider `openai-codex`.
2. Before: effective threshold drops to 0.85, no notice. After: stays 0.90.
3. Run `scripts/run_tests.sh tests/agent/test_arcee_trinity_overrides.py`.
Stash `agent/agent_init.py` and the new cases fail; restore and they pass.

gpt-5.3-codex-spark has a native 128K context window but the default
50% compaction trigger fires at ~64K, wasting half the usable window
before the session has accumulated enough turns to summarize
meaningfully. This raises the trigger to 70% (~90K) on the Codex OAuth
route only, leaving ~38K headroom for the summary and continued
conversation before the 128K hard limit.
The override is not gated by allow_codex_gpt55_autoraise because 128K
is the model's native window (unlike gpt-5.5's artificial 272K Codex
cap). Non-Codex routes are unaffected.
Also adds a boundary regression test verifying the short-session
scenario from the issue always yields a non-empty compressible window
(no silent context wipe).
The ChatGPT Codex OAuth backend caps both gpt-5.4 and gpt-5.5 at a 272K
context window, but the autoraise that lifts the compaction trigger to 85%
only matched gpt-5.5. On gpt-5.4 the global 50% threshold fired at ~136K —
half the usable window — compacting far earlier than necessary.
Rename _is_codex_gpt55 -> _is_codex_gpt54_or_gpt55 and match both families.
The one-time user notice is now model-aware (shows the actual slug). The
config key codex_gpt55_autoraise is kept as-is for backward compatibility.
Adds gpt-5.4 coverage to the autoraise tests.
Follow-up to the #45545 salvage: the cherry-picked fix duplicated the
~35-line header-shaping block (kimi UA, copilot headers, nvidia NIM,
provider-profile defaults, query params) from the explicit_base_url
branch. Route the main_runtime case through the same block instead —
one client-build path, no drift risk. Also uses _create_openai_client
like the sibling branch instead of constructing OpenAI directly.
When the main agent uses a named custom provider (custom:<name>),
resolve_runtime_provider correctly resolves the base_url and api_key.
But the auxiliary client re-resolves from the bare 'custom' provider
name, losing the provider identity. The bare 'custom' falls back to
OpenRouter, which _resolve_custom_runtime() then rejects — leaving all
auxiliary tasks (title gen, compression, vision, session search, etc.)
with no credentials.
Fix: when resolve_provider_client receives a main_runtime dict
containing concrete base_url + api_key, use it directly instead of
re-resolving. The main agent already solved provider resolution;
the auxiliary client just needs to reuse its answer.
Closes#45472
Follow-up to the #55911 salvage: inherit model.api_key only when the aux
base_url resolves to the same hostname as the main model's base_url
(runtime override or config). A misconfigured aux endpoint on a different
host keeps the fail-safe no-key-required placeholder instead of leaking
the main credential cross-host.
When an auxiliary task is configured with provider=custom and an explicit
base_url but an empty api_key, the custom_key fallback chain in
resolve_provider_client() jumped straight to the no-key-required
placeholder without consulting model.api_key from config.yaml. Users
on self-hosted gateways who share the same endpoint and credentials for
both the main model and auxiliary tasks got 401 auth errors.
Add _read_main_api_key() following the same pattern as _read_main_model()
and _read_main_provider(): checks _RUNTIME_MAIN_API_KEY (runtime override)
first, then config.yaml model.api_key. Insert it into the fallback chain
before no-key-required so real credentials are used when available, while
local servers without auth still get the placeholder.
_resolve_task_provider_model returns early on an explicit provider arg,
which skips the config block that consults auxiliary.<task>.base_url /
api_key. Any caller passing provider explicitly (e.g.
resolve_vision_provider_client(provider="custom", ...)) bypasses the
configured custom endpoint and falls through to main-runtime resolution,
silently routing the task to the wrong backend.
Adopt the task's configured base_url/api_key before the early returns,
but only when no explicit base_url was given and the config targets the
same provider (or names none) — a caller forcing a *different* provider
keeps full explicit-arg priority, and an explicit base_url still wins
over config.
Fixes#58515
_try_anthropic() hard-failed (return None, None) when the anthropic
credential pool was present but had no selectable entry — e.g. the pooled
OAuth token expired and its refresh_token had gone stale, so
_select_pool_entry("anthropic") returned (True, None). This wedged every
auxiliary task routed to Anthropic (goal judge surfaced "no auxiliary
client configured") even when a perfectly valid ANTHROPIC_TOKEN /
credentials-file token was available. The main session stayed healthy
because it resolves the env token directly.
The openrouter path (_try_openrouter) and codex path already fall through
to their standalone credential on (True, None); anthropic was the only
provider that hard-failed. Make _try_anthropic fall through to
resolve_anthropic_token() on that branch so the three paths are symmetric:
a temporarily dead pool entry must not block auxiliary tasks when a valid
standalone credential exists.
Adds a regression test covering: (1) pool present + no entry + valid env
token -> client built from the env token, (2) pool present + no entry + no
resolvable token -> clean (None, None), (3) base_url defaults correctly
when falling through with pool_present=True.
A custom:<name> main provider resolves at runtime to the bare provider id
"custom". In the vision auto-detect chain, the main-provider branch called
resolve_provider_client("custom", ...) WITHOUT explicit_base_url/api_key,
so it returned (None, None) ("no endpoint credentials found") and the whole
chain fell through to OpenRouter/Nous. A user on a custom endpoint with no
aggregator configured then got "No LLM provider configured for task=vision
provider=auto" on every image, even though their main model fully supports
vision.
Recover the live endpoint that set_runtime_main() records each turn
(_RUNTIME_MAIN_BASE_URL/_API_KEY/_API_MODE) and forward it to Step 1, with
a fallback to _resolve_custom_runtime() for non-gateway callers. Mirrors the
existing explicit-base_url branch directly above.
Adds TestResolveVisionCustomProvider covering custom, custom:<name>, and the
no-runtime fallback path.
A single-model Hermes agent never sends temperature; the provider default
applies. MoA hardcoded reference_temperature=0.6 / aggregator_temperature=0.4,
and the coercion float(preset.get(key, 0.6) or 0.6) made unset IMPOSSIBLE to
express: absent, null, empty, and even an explicit 0 all collapsed to the
baked-in default. Every MoA advisor and aggregator therefore ran at 0.6/0.4
while the same model running solo used the provider default — silently
skewing solo-vs-MoA comparisons and overriding provider-tuned defaults.
- moa_config normalization: temperatures coerce to None when absent/blank/
invalid (new _coerce_float_or_none); explicit values incl. 0 honored.
- moa_loop: _preset_temperature() resolves preset values; None flows to
call_llm, which already omits the parameter when None (same contract as
max_tokens). Aggregator still inherits the acting agent's own configured
temperature when the preset doesn't pin one.
- conversation_loop (context-mode MoA): same resolution, no more hardcoded
0.6/0.4 at the call site.
- DEFAULT_CONFIG preset + web_server payload models + docs updated: unset
is the default, pinning stays available.
Replace the loopback/PKCE-callback server and manual-paste fallback with
the RFC 8628 device-code flow as the only xAI Grok OAuth login path. The
flow works in headless/SSH/container sessions with no 127.0.0.1 listener,
shrinking the local attack surface.
- Poll the token endpoint with server-provided interval, honoring
slow_down and expires_in; store tokens with auth_mode
oauth_device_code.
- Adaptive proactive refresh skew for short-lived device-code JWTs;
rotated tokens sync back to auth.json, the global root store, and the
credential pool (no refresh-token replay).
- Clear source suppression on successful re-login (CLI + dashboard) and
drop the duplicate dashboard pool entry so exactly one seeded
device_code entry exists.
- Use the shared device_code source name for consistency with the
nous/codex device-code providers.
- Desktop: remove the loopback OAuth flow states and dead type variants;
pkce providers' sign-in URL selection is unchanged.
- Docs (EN + zh-Hans) rewritten for device-code login; drop the deleted
--manual-paste flag from documented commands.
Named providers / custom_providers entries in config.yaml now accept an
extra_headers dict scoped to that endpoint — for reverse proxies, API
gateways, and custom auth schemes (e.g. Cloudflare Access service tokens).
- hermes_cli/config.py: normalize extra_headers on provider entries
(_normalize_custom_provider_entry + providers-dict translation), add
get_custom_provider_extra_headers /
apply_custom_provider_extra_headers_to_client_kwargs helpers keyed on
base_url (case/trailing-slash insensitive, no substring bypass —
mirrors the TLS helpers)
- hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py: surface extra_headers in the resolved
runtime for named custom providers (providers dict, legacy
custom_providers list, and the credential-pool path)
- run_agent.py / agent/agent_init.py: merge per-provider extra_headers
onto the OpenAI client default_headers at construction and on every
_apply_client_headers_for_base_url re-application (credential swaps,
rebuilds), most-specific level wins; OpenAI-wire only (native
Anthropic/Bedrock scoped out)
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: accept model.extra_headers as an alias of
model.default_headers for the global variant
- cli-config.yaml.example: documented commented example
- Header values are treated as secrets and never logged

Two related hardening fixes for auxiliary calls (which include MoA reference
advisors — a pinned-model path where provider fallback is not a meaningful
recovery):
1. Transient-transport retries: the same-provider retry on a connection reset /
timeout / 5xx / 408 was a single attempt, then fallback. For a pinned aux
call a second blip silently loses the call (root of the run2 double-advisor
'Connection error' collapse — a genuine upstream blip). Now retries N times
with exponential backoff, N = auxiliary.transient_retries (default 2 -> 3
total attempts, clamped [0,6]). Compression-on-timeout fast-fail carve-out
preserved.
2. Per-model client-cache isolation: _client_cache_key excluded the model, so
two concurrent auxiliary calls to the same provider/base_url/key but
different models (e.g. an opus + gpt-5.5 MoA fan-out) shared one cache entry
and could race each other's client lifecycle. Model now participates in the
key -> distinct clients, no cross-call races. Same-model reuse unchanged.
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: _transient_retry_count() + backoff loop; model in
_client_cache_key and both call sites.
- hermes_cli/config.py: auxiliary.transient_retries default (2).
- tests: new retry/isolation tests; updated 2 stale-expectation tests to the
corrected behavior (per-model resolve; N-retry escalation).
Backoff base is overridable (_TRANSIENT_RETRY_BACKOFF_BASE) so tests don't sleep.
The salvaged fix wired per-provider ssl_ca_cert / ssl_verify (and
HERMES_CA_BUNDLE) into the MAIN OpenAI client. This follow-up:
- Auxiliary client parity: process_bootstrap.build_keepalive_http_client
accepts and forwards verify; auxiliary_client._resolve_aux_verify mirrors
the main-client TLS resolution (via load_config_readonly, the read-only
fast path) so compression/vision/web_extract/title-gen/session_search
honor the same per-provider CA. Without this, chat worked against a
private-CA endpoint but every auxiliary call still failed APIConnectionError.
- switch_model now reads custom_providers from live config (load_config_readonly)
instead of the init-time agent._custom_providers snapshot, so ssl_ca_cert /
ssl_verify edits are honored on mid-session model switch — matching the
context-length reload (#15779).
- Drop the dead client-level verify= where a custom httpx transport is used
(httpx ignores it there); verify lives on the transport. Fix docstrings.
Applies to both run_agent._build_keepalive_http_client and process_bootstrap.
- resolve_httpx_verify: add CURL_CA_BUNDLE to the env chain (consistency with
agent/ssl_guard._CA_BUNDLE_ENV_VARS) and emit a loud logger.warning naming
the endpoint whenever ssl_verify:false disables verification.
- get_custom_provider_tls_settings: case-insensitive base_url match (config
dedup already lowercases; scheme/host are case-insensitive) so a mixed-case
entry doesn't silently drop its CA. Exact match preserved — no prefix bypass.
- Demote best-effort except Exception: pass in agent_init/switch_model to
logger.debug(exc_info=True).
- Tests for aux verify forwarding, _resolve_aux_verify, case-insensitive
match, and prefix-bypass rejection.
Two independent MoA auxiliary-call fixes:
#53866 — auxiliary.moa_reference.timeout and auxiliary.moa_aggregator.timeout
were 600s while moa_agent was 120s. Raise both to 900s so a genuinely long
reference/aggregator turn (mixed providers, deep reasoning, long tool chains)
has headroom instead of being cut mid-generation.
#53735 — _CodexCompletionsAdapter (the Codex/Responses auxiliary path used by
the MoA acting-aggregator, compression, web_extract, session_search, etc.)
never set prompt_cache_key, so it stayed cache-cold while the MAIN Responses
transport (agent/transports/codex.py) was warm. Derive the same
content-addressed key via the shared _content_cache_key(instructions, tools)
helper and set it on the aux Responses request, with the same host guards the
main transport uses (xAI carries the key in extra_body; GitHub/Copilot opts out
of cache-key routing).
Tests: 5 new prompt_cache_key cases (set+prefixed, stable across identical
prefix, differs on different instructions, skipped for xai/github hosts).
tests/agent/test_auxiliary_client.py 279 pass; tests/hermes_cli/test_config.py
130 pass.
Adds Vertex AI as a first-class provider for Gemini models via Vertex's
OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Vertex authenticates with short-lived OAuth2
access tokens (service-account JSON or ADC), not a static API key — the
missing piece behind the recurring requests (#13484, #12639, #56259).
- agent/vertex_adapter.py: OAuth2 token minting + refresh-on-expiry
(5-min margin), ADC->service-account fallback, global vs regional
endpoint URLs. Config precedence: env var > config.yaml > default.
- plugins/model-providers/vertex/: provider profile (auth_type=vertex),
reuses Gemini's extra_body.google.thinking_config translation.
- runtime_provider: vertex short-circuit BEFORE the credential pool so a
credentials-file path is never mistaken for a static API key; mints a
fresh token + computes base_url per resolve.
- run_agent + conversation_loop: _try_refresh_vertex_client_credentials()
re-mints the token and rebuilds the client on a mid-session 401, so a
long-lived gateway agent survives token expiry (~1h).
- auxiliary_client: vertex auth_type branch for side-LLM tasks.
- config.yaml: vertex.project_id / vertex.region (non-secret, bridged to
env); credential path stays in .env (VERTEX_CREDENTIALS_PATH).
- setup wizard + model picker: dedicated _model_flow_vertex; curated
google/gemini-* model list; --provider choices.
- pricing/metadata: Vertex prices off the gemini docs snapshot; endpoint
host auto-maps to the vertex provider (no probe spam).
- lazy_deps + pyproject [vertex] extra: google-auth, opt-in only.
- docs: guides/google-vertex.md + providers page; tests for adapter +
runtime resolution.
Salvages and modernizes #8427 by @slawt onto current main: rewired from
the legacy PROVIDER_REGISTRY path to the provider-profile architecture,
moved non-secret config out of .env into config.yaml, and added the
per-turn 401 token-refresh the original lacked.
Phase 2c review flagged that only 2 of the 4 structurally-identical
resolve_provider_client routing dead-ends were demoted. Complete the bug-class:
also demote+dedup the external-process ('not directly supported') and OAuth
('not directly supported, try auto') fall-throughs, keyed by provider name, so
none of the four dead-ends spam WARNING on a retry loop.
Add direct tests for the unhandled-auth_type and OAuth dedup paths via a
monkeypatched PROVIDER_REGISTRY (the review noted these were unverified).
Mutation-checked: reverting either sibling demotion fails its test.
The two fall-through branches in resolve_provider_client (unknown provider,
unhandled auth_type) logged at WARNING on every retry of a misconfigured
provider, spamming logs during retry loops. Demote both to logger.debug with
per-process dedup: the first occurrence still surfaces (a provider-name typo or
PROVIDER_REGISTRY/auth_type-drift bug is worth seeing once), while identical
repeats are suppressed for the process lifetime.
Salvaged from #56283 (extracting only the stated auxiliary_client fix; the
original PR also bundled ~2800 lines of unrelated changes across 10 other
files, which are dropped).
Upstream #52270 added `_nous_inference_env_override()` but wired it into
only `resolve_nous_runtime_credentials`. Three sibling resolution paths
still ignored the override, so a self-hosted Nous inference endpoint set
via `NOUS_INFERENCE_BASE_URL` was silently dropped whenever credentials
arrived through any of them:
- the credential-pool path (`_resolve_runtime_from_pool_entry`)
- the explicit-provider path (`_resolve_explicit_runtime`)
- the auxiliary side-LLM client (`_pool_runtime_base_url`)
Route all three through the same auth-layer reader so every
`NOUS_INFERENCE_BASE_URL` read shares one normalization path
(trailing-slash stripping, blank -> empty) and the documented
trusted-bypass intent stays in one place. The override is live-only: it
wins for the base URL returned this run but is never persisted to
auth.json or the credential pool, so an ephemeral dev/staging value
cannot poison durable auth state.

When auxiliary.<task>.model is set to "auto" in config.yaml,
_resolve_task_provider_model() was treating it as a truthy model id
and propagating the literal string "auto" to the wire. The provider
then returned a 200 OK with an error-text body (e.g. "the model auto
does not exist, run --model to pick a different model"), which
downstream consumers such as ContextCompressor accept as the
compressed summary -- silent corruption with no exception raised.
The provider-side auto-resolution path (_resolve_auto via main_runtime
fallback) is already wired up and does the right thing when cfg_model
is None. The fix is to normalize the auto sentinel at the resolver
layer: when cfg_model.lower() == "auto", drop it to None so the
resolver can fall through to main_runtime / auto-detect.
Reproduction (pre-fix):
>>> from agent.auxiliary_client import _resolve_task_provider_model
>>> _resolve_task_provider_model("compression") # with model: auto in config
("auto", "auto", None, None, None)
Post-fix:
>>> _resolve_task_provider_model("compression")
("auto", None, None, None, None)
Verified end-to-end: ContextCompressor.compress now produces a real
summary (~4KB of compaction text) instead of swallowing the bridge
error string. Aux compression on auto/auto config no longer silently
corrupts the conversation summary.
MoA sessions could not stream: the gateway streaming toggle was a no-op for
provider "moa", so users saw nothing until the entire response finished — minutes
of silence on long turns. The aggregator's reply was always fetched whole.
Root cause was twofold:
1. conversation_loop hard-disabled streaming for provider in {"copilot-acp",
"moa"} (MoA grouped with the ACP client, whose facade isn't a stream).
2. MoAChatCompletions.create() fetched the aggregator response whole via
call_llm(), which had no streaming mode.
For provider "moa", _create_request_openai_client() returns the MoAClient facade
itself, so the existing streaming consumer already calls
MoAChatCompletions.create(stream=True). We reuse that battle-tested consumer
(text-delta delivery, tool_call reassembly, stale-stream detection, non-streaming
fallback) instead of adding a parallel streaming path.
Changes:
- call_llm() gains stream/stream_options. When streaming it returns the raw SDK
stream iterator directly, bypassing _validate_llm_response and the
temperature/max_tokens/payment fallback chain (which assume a complete
response). The caller owns reassembly and fallback.
- MoAChatCompletions.create() runs the references first (unchanged), then when
stream=True returns the aggregator's raw stream, forwarding stream_options and
the consumer's per-request read timeout. stream=False is byte-identical to
before (no stream/stream_options/timeout forwarded).
- conversation_loop streams MoA only when a display/TTS consumer is present;
quiet/subagent/health-check paths keep the complete-response path.
Tests: tests/run_agent/test_moa_streaming.py — create() stream/non-stream
branches, stream_options + timeout forwarding, call_llm raw-stream return vs
validated non-stream. Existing MoA tests unchanged (20 passed).

_resolve_task_provider_model() flattened any explicit base_url to
provider=custom. Correct for bare/custom endpoints, but wrong for
provider-backed routes (anthropic, qwen-oauth, minimax-oauth,
openai-codex, etc.) whose provider branch adds auth refresh, transport,
or request shaping. MoA reference slots resolved through those providers
lost their identity before the aux call, so e.g. a Codex reference hit
chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex without its Cloudflare headers and got
HTML back (surfacing as a spurious rate-limit).
Keep first-class providers intact when paired with a resolved base_url
via _preserve_provider_with_base_url(); bare/custom/auto/unknown and the
direct openai alias still route through custom.

Slot_runtime resolved the provider's real API surface (including api_mode)
but only forwarded base_url and api_key to call_llm, dropping api_mode.
This caused Copilot GPT-5.x reference slots to hit /chat/completions
instead of the Responses API, returning 400 unsupported_api_for_model.
- _slot_runtime: forward api_mode from resolve_runtime_provider
- call_llm: accept explicit api_mode param, override task config
- 4 regression tests for propagation, omission, and signature
The earlier enterprise base URL change (proxy-ep parsing) gave us URLs
like `api.enterprise.githubcopilot.com`, but ~15 host-matching call
sites still hard-coded `api.githubcopilot.com`. Enterprise users would
therefore drop the `Copilot-Integration-Id: vscode-chat` header at
client-build time, and upstream rejected requests with:
The requested model is not available for integrator "zed"
(or "copilot-language-server") — verify the correct
Copilot-Integration-Id header is being sent.
The header was correct in copilot_default_headers(); it just never
made it into default_headers for non-default hostnames because every
detector compared against the exact string "api.githubcopilot.com".
This commit broadens all those checks to "githubcopilot.com" via
base_url_host_matches (which already does proper subdomain matching),
so api.enterprise.githubcopilot.com, api.business.githubcopilot.com,
etc. all share the same headers, vision routing, max_completion_tokens
selection, and reasoning-effort detection as the default endpoint.
Also adds ".githubcopilot.com" to _URL_TO_PROVIDER so context-window
resolution via models.dev works for enterprise base URLs, and tightens
_is_github_copilot_url to use suffix matching instead of strict equality.
Tests:
- New: enterprise Copilot endpoint preserves Copilot-Integration-Id
- New: enterprise endpoint returns max_completion_tokens (not max_tokens)
- Existing 333 base_url / copilot / aux-client / credential-pool tests pass
Parts 5 of #7731.
The auxiliary OpenAI clients were built without overriding the SDK's
default max_retries=2, so every aux call silently made up to 3 attempts
against a slow/hung endpoint — a 120s timeout could stall ~360s before
Hermes saw a single failure. On the critical compression preflight path,
Hermes then added its own same-provider timeout retry on top, roughly
doubling the user-visible stall again before fallback.
- Build both the sync (_create_openai_client) and async (_to_async_client)
aux clients with max_retries=0 (setdefault, so explicit callers still
override). Hermes already owns retry + provider/model fallback policy.
- For task == compression, skip the same-provider transient retry on a
full-budget timeout and fall straight through to fallback. Fast blips
(streaming-close, 5xx) still retry, since those are cheap.
- Add _is_timeout_error to distinguish a full-budget timeout from a fast
connection drop.
Addresses the retry-multiplication root cause of #54465 (the resume-wedge
persistence half landed in #55499).
NVIDIA integrate.api.nvidia.com models such as minimaxai/minimax-m3 can
return HTTP 200 with empty choices when max_tokens is omitted. Keep the
output cap on auxiliary chat-completions routes, matching the main NVIDIA
provider profile behavior.
Auxiliary clients now inject a keepalive httpx transport with explicit
HTTPS_PROXY/NO_PROXY resolution, matching the main agent. This avoids
macOS system proxy settings (which omit the ExceptionsList) breaking
vision and other auxiliary calls to internal provider endpoints.
_try_openrouter() returned (None, None) whenever an OpenRouter credential
pool existed but was exhausted (_select_pool_entry -> (True, None)), making
the OPENROUTER_API_KEY env-var fallback unreachable. Auxiliary tasks
(compression, vision, web_extract) silently failed even with a valid env key.
Now the pool-present branch only returns early when it successfully builds a
client; an exhausted pool falls through to the env-var path. The final
failure (pool exhausted AND no env var) still marks the provider unhealthy.
Fixes#23452.
