Mirrors the image_gen + memory_provider + context_engine architecture: ABC, registry, plugin-context registration hook, and per-plugin model catalogs surfaced through hermes tools.

Co-authored-by: Jaaneek <Jaaneek@users.noreply.github.com> * feat(video_gen): dynamic schema reflects active backend's capabilities Address the 'capability variance' question — instead of one tool with a static schema that lies about what every backend supports, the video_generate tool now rebuilds its description at get_definitions() time based on the configured video_gen.provider and video_gen.model. The agent sees backend-specific guidance up-front: - 'fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video': 'image-to-video only — image_url is REQUIRED; text-only prompts will be rejected' - 'fal-ai/veo3.1' (t2v): no image_url restriction shown - xAI grok-imagine-video: 'operations: generate, edit, extend; up to 7 reference_image_urls' - Backends without edit/extend: 'not supported on this backend — surface that they need to switch backends via hermes tools' This is the same pattern PR #22694 used for delegate_task self-capping — documented in the dynamic-tool-schemas skill. Cache invalidation is free: get_tool_definitions() already memoizes on config.yaml mtime, so a mid-session backend swap rebuilds the schema automatically. Tested: - Empirical FAL OpenAPI schema check confirms image-to-video models require image_url (FAL returns HTTP 422 otherwise) — client-side rejection in FALVideoGenProvider.generate() now prevents the wasted round-trip - Live E2E: fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video + prompt-only → clean missing_image_url error; fal-ai/veo3.1 + prompt-only → dispatches - 6 new tests cover the builder (no config / image-only / full-surface / text-only / unknown provider / registry wiring), all passing - 37/37 in the slice, 134/134 in the broader regression set * test(video_gen/xai): full surface integration tests + cleaner schema Verified end-to-end that the xAI plugin handles every documented mode from PR #10600's surface: text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-images-to-video, video edit, video extend (with and without prompt). All five modes route to the correct xAI endpoint (/videos/generations, /videos/edits, /videos/extensions) with the right payload shape (image / reference_images / video keys), and all five client-side rejections fire before the network: edit-without-prompt, extend-without-video_url, image+refs conflict, >7 references, and duration/aspect_ratio clamping. 15 new integration tests grouped into four classes (endpoint routing, modalities, validation, clamping). httpx is stubbed via a small fake AsyncClient that records POSTs so the tests assert the actual payload the plugin would send to xAI — not just the success/error envelope. Also cleaned up a description redundancy: when a model's operations match the backend's overall set, we no longer print the duplicate 'operations supported by this model' line. xAI's description now reads: Active backend: xAI . model: grok-imagine-video - operations supported by this backend: edit, extend, generate - modalities supported by this backend: image, reference_images, text - aspect_ratio choices: 16:9, 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 9:16 - resolution choices: 480p, 720p - duration range: 1-15s - reference_image_urls: up to 7 images Co-authored-by: Jaaneek <Jaaneek@users.noreply.github.com> * feat(video_gen): collapse surface to t2v + i2v, family-based auto-routing Two design changes per Teknium: 1) Drop edit/extend from the tool surface entirely. Only text-to-video and image-to-video remain. The agent sees a clean tool with two modalities; backend-specific quirks like xAI's edit/extend endpoints stay out of the unified schema. 2) FAL: pick a model FAMILY once, the plugin routes between the family's text-to-video and image-to-video endpoints based on whether image_url was passed. Users no longer pick 'fal-ai/veo3.1' AND 'fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video' as separate options — they pick 'veo3.1', and the plugin handles the rest. Catalog rewritten as families: veo3.1 fal-ai/veo3.1 / fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video pixverse-v6 fal-ai/pixverse/v6/text-to-video / fal-ai/pixverse/v6/image-to-video kling-o3-standard fal-ai/kling-video/o3/standard/text-to-video / fal-ai/kling-video/o3/standard/image-to-video xAI uses a single endpoint (/videos/generations) for both modes, routed by the presence of the 'image' field in the payload — no edit/extend exposure. Schema changes: - VIDEO_GENERATE_SCHEMA: drop operation, drop video_url. Final params: prompt (required), image_url, reference_image_urls, duration, aspect_ratio, resolution, negative_prompt, audio, seed, model. - VideoGenProvider ABC: drop normalize_operation, VALID_OPERATIONS, DEFAULT_OPERATION. capabilities() drops 'operations' key. - success_response: add 'modality' field ('text' | 'image') so the agent and logs can see which endpoint was actually hit. Dynamic schema builder simplified — no operations bullet, no 'switch backends if you need edit/extend' guidance. When the active backend supports both modalities (the common case), description reads: Active backend: FAL . model: pixverse-v6 - supports both text-to-video (omit image_url) and image-to-video (pass image_url) - routes automatically - aspect_ratio choices: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 - resolution choices: 360p, 540p, 720p, 1080p - duration range: 1-15s - audio: pass audio=true to enable native audio (pricing tier) - negative_prompt: supported Tests: 51 in the video_gen slice, 216 across the broader image+video sweep, all passing. New FAL routing tests prove pixverse-v6 + no image hits text-to-video endpoint, pixverse-v6 + image_url hits image-to-video endpoint, same for veo3.1 and kling-o3-standard. Docs updated: developer-guide page rewrites the 'model families' pattern as a first-class section so external plugin authors know the convention. toolsets-reference and toolsets.py descriptions match the new surface. Co-authored-by: Jaaneek <Jaaneek@users.noreply.github.com> * feat(video_gen/fal): expand catalog to 6 families, cheap + premium tiers Catalog now covers everything Teknium specced from FAL: Cheap tier: ltx-2.3 fal-ai/ltx-2.3-22b/text-to-video / image-to-video pixverse-v6 fal-ai/pixverse/v6/text-to-video / image-to-video Premium tier: veo3.1 fal-ai/veo3.1 / fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video seedance-2.0 bytedance/seedance-2.0/text-to-video / image-to-video kling-v3-4k fal-ai/kling-video/v3/4k/text-to-video / image-to-video happy-horse fal-ai/happy-horse/text-to-video / image-to-video DEFAULT_MODEL moved from veo3.1 (premium) to pixverse-v6 (cheap, sane defaults, both modalities) — better first-run UX for users who haven't explicitly picked a model. New family-entry knob: image_param_key. Kling v3 4K's image-to-video endpoint expects start_image_url instead of image_url; declaring image_param_key='start_image_url' on the family lets _build_payload remap correctly. Other families default to plain image_url. Per-family capability flags reflect each model's docs: - LTX 2.3 + Happy Horse: minimal payloads (no duration/aspect/resolution enum exposed by FAL — let endpoint apply defaults) - Seedance: 6 aspect ratios incl 21:9, durations 4-15, audio supported, negative prompts NOT supported per docs - Kling v3 4K: 16:9/9:16/1:1, 3-15s, audio + negative - Veo 3.1: unchanged, 16:9/9:16, 4/6/8s Tests: +5 covering the new families (full catalog, Kling 4K start_image_url remap, Seedance routing, LTX payload minimality, Happy Horse minimality). 56/56 in the slice green. Note: I did NOT add the FAL-hosted xAI Grok-Imagine variant. Hermes already has a direct xAI plugin that talks to xAI's own API; routing the same model through FAL's wrapper would duplicate the surface without adding capabilities. Users on FAL who want Grok-Imagine should use the xAI plugin directly; flag if you want both routes available. * test(video_gen): tool-surface routing matrix — every model x modality End-to-end matrix test driven through _handle_video_generate() — the actual function the agent's video_generate tool call lands in. Writes config.yaml, invokes the registered handler with a raw args dict, then asserts the outbound HTTP/SDK call hit the right endpoint with the right payload shape. Parametrized over FAL_FAMILIES.keys() so the matrix auto-discovers new families as they're added (add a family to FAL_FAMILIES and you get both modalities tested for free). Coverage: - All 6 FAL families x {text-only, text+image} = 12 cases - xAI x {text-only, text+image} = 2 cases - tool-level model= arg overrides config = 2 cases For each case, verifies: - result['success'] is True - result['modality'] matches input shape ('text' if no image_url, 'image' otherwise) - outbound endpoint URL matches the family's text_endpoint or image_endpoint - text-only payloads carry no image-shaped keys - text+image payloads carry the family's image key (image_url for most, start_image_url for kling-v3-4k, wrapped 'image' object for xAI) All 16 cases passing. Confirms the tool surface routes every (provider, model, modality) combination correctly with zero leakage. * feat(video_gen): keep video_gen out of first-run setup, surface in status Two changes: 1. video_gen joins _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS, so it is NOT pre-selected in the first-run toolset checklist. Video gen is niche, paid, and slow — most users don't want it nagging them during initial setup. Anyone who wants it opts in via 'hermes tools' -> Video Generation, which already routes to the provider+model picker. 2. The 'hermes setup' status panel learns about video_gen — but only shows the row when a plugin reports available. Users without FAL_KEY/XAI_API_KEY see nothing about video gen; users with one of those keys see 'Video Generation (FAL) ✓' as confirmation it's wired. Verified live: - Fresh install (no creds): zero video_gen mentions in wizard. - With FAL_KEY: status row appears with active backend name. - 160/160 in the setup + tools_config + video_gen test slice. Rationale: image_gen is on by default because it's a featured creative tool used in casual chat (telegrams, etc). Video gen is heavier — long wait, paid per-second pricing. Default-off matches user intent better. --------- Co-authored-by: Jaaneek <Jaaneek@users.noreply.github.com>

"""
Video Generation Tool
=====================
Single ``video_generate`` tool that dispatches to a plugin-registered
video generation provider. Mirrors the ``image_generate`` design:
- ``agent/video_gen_provider.py`` defines the :class:`VideoGenProvider` ABC.
- ``agent/video_gen_registry.py`` holds the active providers (populated by
plugins at import time).
- Each provider lives under ``plugins/video_gen/<name>/``.
The tool itself is intentionally backend-agnostic and ships **no in-tree
provider** turn on a backend by enabling a plugin (``hermes plugins
enable video_gen/<name>``) and selecting it in ``hermes tools`` Video
Generation.
Unified surface
---------------
One tool covers the common cases text-to-video, image-to-video, video
edit, video extend with a compact schema:
prompt text instruction (required for generate/edit)
operation "generate" | "edit" | "extend"
image_url drives image-to-video when operation=generate
video_url source video for edit/extend
reference_image_urls list, up to provider-declared cap
duration seconds (provider clamps)
aspect_ratio "16:9" | "9:16" | "1:1" | ...
resolution "480p" | "540p" | "720p" | "1080p"
negative_prompt optional (Pixverse/Kling style)
audio optional (Veo3/Pixverse pricing tier)
seed optional
model optional, override the active provider's default
Providers ignore parameters they do not support. The tool layer does
**lightweight** validation (type/required-prompt) and lets each provider
do its own clamping inside :meth:`VideoGenProvider.generate` that keeps
the tool surface stable as new providers ship with different capabilities.

Docs updated: developer-guide page rewrites the 'model families' pattern as a first-class section so external plugin authors know the convention. toolsets-reference and toolsets.py descriptions match the new surface. Co-authored-by: Jaaneek <Jaaneek@users.noreply.github.com> * feat(video_gen/fal): expand catalog to 6 families, cheap + premium tiers Catalog now covers everything Teknium specced from FAL: Cheap tier: ltx-2.3 fal-ai/ltx-2.3-22b/text-to-video / image-to-video pixverse-v6 fal-ai/pixverse/v6/text-to-video / image-to-video Premium tier: veo3.1 fal-ai/veo3.1 / fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video seedance-2.0 bytedance/seedance-2.0/text-to-video / image-to-video kling-v3-4k fal-ai/kling-video/v3/4k/text-to-video / image-to-video happy-horse fal-ai/happy-horse/text-to-video / image-to-video DEFAULT_MODEL moved from veo3.1 (premium) to pixverse-v6 (cheap, sane defaults, both modalities) — better first-run UX for users who haven't explicitly picked a model. New family-entry knob: image_param_key. Kling v3 4K's image-to-video endpoint expects start_image_url instead of image_url; declaring image_param_key='start_image_url' on the family lets _build_payload remap correctly. Other families default to plain image_url. Per-family capability flags reflect each model's docs: - LTX 2.3 + Happy Horse: minimal payloads (no duration/aspect/resolution enum exposed by FAL — let endpoint apply defaults) - Seedance: 6 aspect ratios incl 21:9, durations 4-15, audio supported, negative prompts NOT supported per docs - Kling v3 4K: 16:9/9:16/1:1, 3-15s, audio + negative - Veo 3.1: unchanged, 16:9/9:16, 4/6/8s Tests: +5 covering the new families (full catalog, Kling 4K start_image_url remap, Seedance routing, LTX payload minimality, Happy Horse minimality). 56/56 in the slice green. Note: I did NOT add the FAL-hosted xAI Grok-Imagine variant. Hermes already has a direct xAI plugin that talks to xAI's own API; routing the same model through FAL's wrapper would duplicate the surface without adding capabilities. Users on FAL who want Grok-Imagine should use the xAI plugin directly; flag if you want both routes available. * test(video_gen): tool-surface routing matrix — every model x modality End-to-end matrix test driven through _handle_video_generate() — the actual function the agent's video_generate tool call lands in. Writes config.yaml, invokes the registered handler with a raw args dict, then asserts the outbound HTTP/SDK call hit the right endpoint with the right payload shape. Parametrized over FAL_FAMILIES.keys() so the matrix auto-discovers new families as they're added (add a family to FAL_FAMILIES and you get both modalities tested for free). Coverage: - All 6 FAL families x {text-only, text+image} = 12 cases - xAI x {text-only, text+image} = 2 cases - tool-level model= arg overrides config = 2 cases For each case, verifies: - result['success'] is True - result['modality'] matches input shape ('text' if no image_url, 'image' otherwise) - outbound endpoint URL matches the family's text_endpoint or image_endpoint - text-only payloads carry no image-shaped keys - text+image payloads carry the family's image key (image_url for most, start_image_url for kling-v3-4k, wrapped 'image' object for xAI) All 16 cases passing. Confirms the tool surface routes every (provider, model, modality) combination correctly with zero leakage. * feat(video_gen): keep video_gen out of first-run setup, surface in status Two changes: 1. video_gen joins _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS, so it is NOT pre-selected in the first-run toolset checklist. Video gen is niche, paid, and slow — most users don't want it nagging them during initial setup. Anyone who wants it opts in via 'hermes tools' -> Video Generation, which already routes to the provider+model picker. 2. The 'hermes setup' status panel learns about video_gen — but only shows the row when a plugin reports available. Users without FAL_KEY/XAI_API_KEY see nothing about video gen; users with one of those keys see 'Video Generation (FAL) ✓' as confirmation it's wired. Verified live: - Fresh install (no creds): zero video_gen mentions in wizard. - With FAL_KEY: status row appears with active backend name. - 160/160 in the setup + tools_config + video_gen test slice. Rationale: image_gen is on by default because it's a featured creative tool used in casual chat (telegrams, etc). Video gen is heavier — long wait, paid per-second pricing. Default-off matches user intent better. --------- Co-authored-by: Jaaneek <Jaaneek@users.noreply.github.com>

Mirrors the image_gen + memory_provider + context_engine architecture: ABC, registry, plugin-context registration hook, and per-plugin model catalogs surfaced through hermes tools.

Co-authored-by: Jaaneek <Jaaneek@users.noreply.github.com> * feat(video_gen): dynamic schema reflects active backend's capabilities Address the 'capability variance' question — instead of one tool with a static schema that lies about what every backend supports, the video_generate tool now rebuilds its description at get_definitions() time based on the configured video_gen.provider and video_gen.model. The agent sees backend-specific guidance up-front: - 'fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video': 'image-to-video only — image_url is REQUIRED; text-only prompts will be rejected' - 'fal-ai/veo3.1' (t2v): no image_url restriction shown - xAI grok-imagine-video: 'operations: generate, edit, extend; up to 7 reference_image_urls' - Backends without edit/extend: 'not supported on this backend — surface that they need to switch backends via hermes tools' This is the same pattern PR #22694 used for delegate_task self-capping — documented in the dynamic-tool-schemas skill. Cache invalidation is free: get_tool_definitions() already memoizes on config.yaml mtime, so a mid-session backend swap rebuilds the schema automatically. Tested: - Empirical FAL OpenAPI schema check confirms image-to-video models require image_url (FAL returns HTTP 422 otherwise) — client-side rejection in FALVideoGenProvider.generate() now prevents the wasted round-trip - Live E2E: fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video + prompt-only → clean missing_image_url error; fal-ai/veo3.1 + prompt-only → dispatches - 6 new tests cover the builder (no config / image-only / full-surface / text-only / unknown provider / registry wiring), all passing - 37/37 in the slice, 134/134 in the broader regression set * test(video_gen/xai): full surface integration tests + cleaner schema Verified end-to-end that the xAI plugin handles every documented mode from PR #10600's surface: text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-images-to-video, video edit, video extend (with and without prompt). All five modes route to the correct xAI endpoint (/videos/generations, /videos/edits, /videos/extensions) with the right payload shape (image / reference_images / video keys), and all five client-side rejections fire before the network: edit-without-prompt, extend-without-video_url, image+refs conflict, >7 references, and duration/aspect_ratio clamping. 15 new integration tests grouped into four classes (endpoint routing, modalities, validation, clamping). httpx is stubbed via a small fake AsyncClient that records POSTs so the tests assert the actual payload the plugin would send to xAI — not just the success/error envelope. Also cleaned up a description redundancy: when a model's operations match the backend's overall set, we no longer print the duplicate 'operations supported by this model' line. xAI's description now reads: Active backend: xAI . model: grok-imagine-video - operations supported by this backend: edit, extend, generate - modalities supported by this backend: image, reference_images, text - aspect_ratio choices: 16:9, 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 9:16 - resolution choices: 480p, 720p - duration range: 1-15s - reference_image_urls: up to 7 images Co-authored-by: Jaaneek <Jaaneek@users.noreply.github.com> * feat(video_gen): collapse surface to t2v + i2v, family-based auto-routing Two design changes per Teknium: 1) Drop edit/extend from the tool surface entirely.

Final params: prompt (required), image_url, reference_image_urls, duration, aspect_ratio, resolution, negative_prompt, audio, seed, model. - VideoGenProvider ABC: drop normalize_operation, VALID_OPERATIONS, DEFAULT_OPERATION. capabilities() drops 'operations' key. - success_response: add 'modality' field ('text' | 'image') so the agent and logs can see which endpoint was actually hit.

Kling v3 4K's image-to-video endpoint expects start_image_url instead of image_url; declaring image_param_key='start_image_url' on the family lets _build_payload remap correctly. Other families default to plain image_url. Per-family capability flags reflect each model's docs: - LTX 2.3 + Happy Horse: minimal payloads (no duration/aspect/resolution enum exposed by FAL — let endpoint apply defaults) - Seedance: 6 aspect ratios incl 21:9, durations 4-15, audio supported, negative prompts NOT supported per docs - Kling v3 4K: 16:9/9:16/1:1, 3-15s, audio + negative - Veo 3.1: unchanged, 16:9/9:16, 4/6/8s Tests: +5 covering the new families (full catalog, Kling 4K start_image_url remap, Seedance routing, LTX payload minimality, Happy Horse minimality). 56/56 in the slice green. Note: I did NOT add the FAL-hosted xAI Grok-Imagine variant. Hermes already has a direct xAI plugin that talks to xAI's own API; routing the same model through FAL's wrapper would duplicate the surface without adding capabilities. Users on FAL who want Grok-Imagine should use the xAI plugin directly; flag if you want both routes available. * test(video_gen): tool-surface routing matrix — every model x modality End-to-end matrix test driven through _handle_video_generate() — the actual function the agent's video_generate tool call lands in. Writes config.yaml, invokes the registered handler with a raw args dict, then asserts the outbound HTTP/SDK call hit the right endpoint with the right payload shape. Parametrized over FAL_FAMILIES.keys() so the matrix auto-discovers new families as they're added (add a family to FAL_FAMILIES and you get both modalities tested for free). Coverage: - All 6 FAL families x {text-only, text+image} = 12 cases - xAI x {text-only, text+image} = 2 cases - tool-level model= arg overrides config = 2 cases For each case, verifies: - result['success'] is True - result['modality'] matches input shape ('text' if no image_url, 'image' otherwise) - outbound endpoint URL matches the family's text_endpoint or image_endpoint - text-only payloads carry no image-shaped keys - text+image payloads carry the family's image key (image_url for most, start_image_url for kling-v3-4k, wrapped 'image' object for xAI) All 16 cases passing. Confirms the tool surface routes every (provider, model, modality) combination correctly with zero leakage. * feat(video_gen): keep video_gen out of first-run setup, surface in status Two changes: 1. video_gen joins _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS, so it is NOT pre-selected in the first-run toolset checklist. Video gen is niche, paid, and slow — most users don't want it nagging them during initial setup. Anyone who wants it opts in via 'hermes tools' -> Video Generation, which already routes to the provider+model picker. 2. The 'hermes setup' status panel learns about video_gen — but only shows the row when a plugin reports available. Users without FAL_KEY/XAI_API_KEY see nothing about video gen; users with one of those keys see 'Video Generation (FAL) ✓' as confirmation it's wired. Verified live: - Fresh install (no creds): zero video_gen mentions in wizard. - With FAL_KEY: status row appears with active backend name. - 160/160 in the setup + tools_config + video_gen test slice. Rationale: image_gen is on by default because it's a featured creative tool used in casual chat (telegrams, etc). Video gen is heavier — long wait, paid per-second pricing. Default-off matches user intent better. --------- Co-authored-by: Jaaneek <Jaaneek@users.noreply.github.com>

# Dynamic schema — reflect the active backend's actual capabilities
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Why dynamic: the user's configured backend determines which operations
# (generate/edit/extend), modalities (text / image / refs), aspect ratios,
# resolutions, durations, and audio/negative-prompt flags are real. A model
# that calls video_generate without knowing the active backend wastes a
# turn on something like "fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video requires image_url".
# Surfacing the per-model surface in the description means the model
# usually gets the call right on the first try.
#
# Memoization: model_tools.get_tool_definitions() keys its cache on
# config.yaml mtime, so when the user changes provider/model via
# `hermes tools` or `/skills`, the schema rebuilds automatically.
