# Provider Runtime Resolution
Hermes has a shared provider runtime resolver used across:
- CLI
- gateway
- cron jobs
- ACP
- auxiliary model calls
Primary implementation:
2026-03-24 07:19:26 -07:00
- `hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py` — credential resolution, `_resolve_custom_runtime()`
- `hermes_cli/auth.py` — provider registry, `resolve_provider()`
- `hermes_cli/model_switch.py` — shared `/model` switch pipeline (CLI + gateway)
- `agent/auxiliary_client.py` — auxiliary model routing
2026-05-05 13:36:08 -07:00
- `providers/` — ABC + registry entry points (`ProviderProfile` , `register_provider` , `get_provider_profile` , `list_providers` )
- `plugins/model-providers/<name>/` — per-provider plugins (bundled) that declare `api_mode` , `base_url` , `env_vars` , `fallback_models` and register themselves into the registry on first access. User plugins at `$HERMES_HOME/plugins/model-providers/<name>/` override bundled ones of the same name.
feat: provider modules — ProviderProfile ABC, 33 providers, fetch_models, transport single-path
Introduces providers/ package — single source of truth for every
inference provider. Adding a simple api-key provider now requires one
providers/<name>.py file with zero edits anywhere else.
What this PR ships:
- providers/ package (ProviderProfile ABC + 33 profiles across 4 api_modes)
- ProviderProfile declarative fields: name, api_mode, aliases, display_name,
env_vars, base_url, models_url, auth_type, fallback_models, hostname,
default_headers, fixed_temperature, default_max_tokens, default_aux_model
- 4 overridable hooks: prepare_messages, build_extra_body,
build_api_kwargs_extras, fetch_models
- chat_completions.build_kwargs: profile path via _build_kwargs_from_profile,
legacy flag path retained for lmstudio/tencent-tokenhub (which have
session-aware reasoning probing that doesn't map cleanly to hooks yet)
- run_agent.py: profile path for all registered providers; legacy path
variable scoping fixed (all flags defined before branching)
- Auto-wires: auth.PROVIDER_REGISTRY, models.CANONICAL_PROVIDERS,
doctor health checks, config.OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS, model_metadata._URL_TO_PROVIDER
- GeminiProfile: thinking_config translation (native + openai-compat nested)
- New tests/providers/ (79 tests covering profile declarations, transport
parity, hook overrides, e2e kwargs assembly)
Deltas vs original PR (salvaged onto current main):
- Added profiles: alibaba-coding-plan, azure-foundry, minimax-oauth
(were added to main since original PR)
- Skipped profiles: lmstudio, tencent-tokenhub stay on legacy path (their
reasoning_effort probing has no clean hook equivalent yet)
- Removed lmstudio alias from custom profile (it's a separate provider now)
- Skipped openrouter/custom from PROVIDER_REGISTRY auto-extension
(resolve_provider special-cases them; adding breaks runtime resolution)
- runtime_provider: profile.api_mode only as fallback when URL detection
finds nothing (was breaking minimax /v1 override)
- Preserved main's legacy-path improvements: deepseek reasoning_content
preserve, gemini Gemma skip, OpenRouter response caching, Anthropic 1M
beta recovery, etc.
- Kept agent/copilot_acp_client.py in place (rejected PR's relocation —
main has 7 fixes landed since; relocation would revert them)
- _API_KEY_PROVIDER_AUX_MODELS alias kept for backward compat with existing
test imports

Closes #14418

2026-05-05 13:36:08 -07:00
`get_provider_profile()` in `providers/` returns a `ProviderProfile` for a given provider id. `runtime_provider.py` calls this at resolution time to get the canonical `base_url` , `env_vars` priority list, `api_mode` , and `fallback_models` without needing to duplicate that data in multiple files. Adding a new plugin under `plugins/model-providers/<your-provider>/` (or `$HERMES_HOME/plugins/model-providers/<your-provider>/` ) that calls `register_provider()` is enough for `runtime_provider.py` to pick it up — no branch needed in the resolver itself.

docs: pluggable surfaces coverage — model-provider guide, full plugin map, opt-in fix (#20749)
* docs(providers): add model-provider-plugin authoring guide + fix stale refs
New docs:
- website/docs/developer-guide/model-provider-plugin.md — full authoring
guide (directory layout, minimal example, ProviderProfile fields,
overridable hooks, user overrides, api_mode selection, auth types,
testing, pip distribution)
- Wired into website/sidebars.ts under 'Extending'
- Cross-references added in:
- guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md (tip block)
- developer-guide/adding-providers.md
- developer-guide/provider-runtime.md
User guide:
- user-guide/features/plugins.md: Plugin types table grows from 3 to 4
with 'Model providers' row
Stale comment cleanup (providers/*.py → plugins/model-providers/<name>/):
- hermes_cli/main.py:_is_profile_api_key_provider docstring
- hermes_cli/doctor.py:_build_apikey_providers_list docstring
- hermes_cli/auth.py: PROVIDER_REGISTRY + alias auto-extension comments
- hermes_cli/models.py: CANONICAL_PROVIDERS auto-extension comment
AGENTS.md:
- Project-structure tree: added plugins/model-providers/ row
- New section: 'Model-provider plugins' explaining discovery, override
semantics, PluginManager integration, kind auto-coerce heuristic
Verified: docusaurus build succeeds, new page renders, all 3 cross-links
resolve. 347/347 targeted tests pass (tests/providers/,
tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py, tests/hermes_cli/test_runtime_provider_resolution.py,
tests/run_agent/test_provider_parity.py).
* docs(plugins): add 'pluggable interfaces at a glance' maps to plugins.md + build-a-hermes-plugin
Devs landing on either the user-guide plugin page or the build-a-plugin
guide now get an upfront table of every distinct pluggable surface with
a link to the right authoring doc. Previously they'd have to read the
full general-plugin guide to discover that model providers / platforms
/ memory / context engines are separate systems.
user-guide/features/plugins.md:
- New 'Pluggable interfaces — where to go for each' section below the
existing 4-kinds table
- 10 rows covering every register_* surface (tool, hook, slash command,
CLI subcommand, skill, model provider, platform, memory, context
engine, image-gen)
- Explicit note: TTS/STT are NOT plugin-extensible yet — documented
with a pointer to the current config.yaml 'command providers' pattern
and a note that register_tts_provider()/register_stt_provider() may
come later
guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md:
- New :::info 'Not sure which guide you need?' map at the top so devs
see all pluggable interfaces before investing in this 737-line
general-plugin walkthrough
- Existing bottom :::tip expanded to include platform adapters alongside
model/memory/context plugins
Verified:
- All 8 cross-doc links in the new plugins.md table resolve in a
docusaurus build (SUCCESS, no new broken links)
- TTS link corrected (features/voice → features/tts; latter exists)
- Pre-existing broken links/anchors (cron-script-only, llms.txt,
adding-platform-adapters#step-by-step-checklist) are unchanged
* docs(plugins): correct TTS/STT pluggability \u2014 they ARE plugins (command-providers)
Previous commit incorrectly said TTS/STT 'aren't plugin-extensible'. They
are, via the config-driven command-provider pattern \u2014 any CLI that reads
text and writes audio (or vice versa for STT) is automatically a plugin
with zero Python. The tts.md docs cover this extensively and I missed it.
plugins.md:
- TTS row: 'Config-driven (not a Python plugin)', points at
tts.md#custom-command-providers
- STT row: points at tts.md#voice-message-transcription-stt (STT docs
live in tts.md despite the filename)
- Expanded note: TTS/STT use config-driven shell-command templates as
their plugin surface (full tts.providers.<name> registry for TTS;
HERMES_LOCAL_STT_COMMAND escape hatch for STT)
- Any CLI that reads/writes files is automatically a plugin \u2014 no Python
register_* API needed
- Future register_tts_provider()/register_stt_provider() hooks mentioned
as nice-to-have for SDK/streaming cases, not as the primary story
build-a-hermes-plugin.md:
- Same map update: TTS/STT rows explicit, footer note corrected
Verified:
- tts.md anchors (custom-command-providers, voice-message-transcription-stt)
exist and resolve in docusaurus build (SUCCESS, no new broken links)
* docs(plugins): expand pluggable interfaces table with MCP / event hooks / shell hooks / skill taps
Broadened the scope beyond Python register_* hooks. Hermes has MULTIPLE
plugin-style extension surfaces; they're now all in one table instead of
being scattered across feature docs.
Added rows for:
- **MCP servers** — config.yaml mcp_servers.<name> auto-registers external
tools from any MCP server. Huge extensibility surface, previously not
linked from the plugin map.
- **Gateway event hooks** — drop HOOK.yaml + handler.py into
~/.hermes/hooks/<name>/ to fire on gateway:startup, session:*, agent:*,
command:* events. Separate from Python plugin hooks.
- **Shell hooks** — hooks: block in config.yaml runs shell commands on
events (notifications, auditing, etc.).
- **Skill sources (taps)** — hermes skills tap add <repo> to pull in new
skill registries beyond the built-in sources.
Both docs updated:
- user-guide/features/plugins.md: table column renamed to 'How' (mixes
Python API + config-driven + drop-in-dir surfaces accurately)
- guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md: :::info map at top mirrors the new
surfaces with a forward-link to the consolidated table
Note block rewritten: instead of singling out TTS/STT as the 'different
style' exception, now honestly describes that Hermes deliberately
supports three plugin styles — Python APIs, config-driven commands, and
drop-in manifest directories — and devs should pick the one that fits
their integration.
Not included (considered and rejected):
- Transport layer (register_transport) — internal, not user-facing
- Tool-call parsers — internal, VLLM phase-2 thing
- Cloud browser providers — hardcoded registry, not drop-in yet
- Terminal backends — hardcoded if/elif, not drop-in yet
- Skill sources (the ABC) — hardcoded list, only taps are user-extensible
Verified:
- All 5 new anchors resolve (gateway-event-hooks, shell-hooks, skills-hub,
custom-command-providers, voice-message-transcription-stt)
- Docusaurus build SUCCESS, zero new broken links
- Same 3 pre-existing broken links on main (cron-script-only, llms.txt,
adding-platform-adapters#step-by-step-checklist)
* docs(plugins): cover every pluggable surface in both the overview and how-to
Both plugins.md and build-a-hermes-plugin.md now cover every extension
surface end-to-end \u2014 general plugin APIs, specialized plugin types,
config-driven surfaces \u2014 with concrete authoring patterns for each.
plugins.md:
- 'What plugins can do' table grows from 9 rows (general ctx.register_*
only) to 14 rows covering register_platform, register_image_gen_provider,
register_context_engine, MemoryProvider subclass, register_provider
(model). Each row links to its full authoring guide.
- New 'Plugin sub-categories' section under Plugin Discovery explains
how plugins/platforms/, plugins/image_gen/, plugins/memory/,
plugins/context_engine/, plugins/model-providers/ are routed to
different loaders \u2014 PluginManager vs the per-category own-loader
systems.
- Explicit mention of user-override semantics at
~/.hermes/plugins/model-providers/ and ~/.hermes/plugins/memory/.
build-a-hermes-plugin.md:
- New '## Specialized plugin types' section (5 sub-sections):
- Model provider plugins \u2014 ProviderProfile + plugin.yaml example,
auto-wiring summary, link to full guide
- Platform plugins \u2014 BasePlatformAdapter + register_platform() skeleton
- Memory provider plugins \u2014 MemoryProvider subclass example
- Context engine plugins \u2014 ContextEngine subclass example
- Image-generation backends \u2014 ImageGenProvider + kind: backend example
- New '## Non-Python extension surfaces' section (5 sub-sections):
- MCP servers \u2014 config.yaml mcp_servers.<name> example
- Gateway event hooks \u2014 HOOK.yaml + handler.py example
- Shell hooks \u2014 hooks: block in config.yaml example
- Skill sources (taps) \u2014 hermes skills tap add example
- TTS / STT command templates \u2014 tts.providers.<name> with type: command
- Distribute via pip / NixOS promoted from ### to ## (they were orphaned
after the reorganization)
Each specialized / non-Python section has a concrete, copy-pasteable
example plus a 'Full guide:' link to the authoritative doc. Devs arriving
at the build-a-hermes-plugin guide now see every extension surface at
their disposal, not just the general tool/hook/slash-command surface.
Verified:
- Docusaurus build SUCCESS, zero new broken links
- All new cross-links (developer-guide/model-provider-plugin,
adding-platform-adapters, memory-provider-plugin, context-engine-plugin,
user-guide/features/mcp, skills#skills-hub, hooks#gateway-event-hooks,
hooks#shell-hooks, tts#custom-command-providers,
tts#voice-message-transcription-stt) resolve
- Same 3 pre-existing broken links on main (cron-script-only, llms.txt,
adding-platform-adapters#step-by-step-checklist)
* docs(plugins): fix opt-in inconsistency — not every plugin is gated
The 'Every plugin is disabled by default' statement was wrong. Several
plugin categories intentionally bypass plugins.enabled:
- Bundled platform plugins (IRC, Teams) auto-load so shipped gateway
channels are available out of the box. Activation per channel is via
gateway.platforms.<name>.enabled.
- Bundled backends (plugins/image_gen/*) auto-load so the default
backend 'just works'. Selection via <category>.provider config.
- Memory providers are all discovered; one is active via memory.provider.
- Context engines are all discovered; one is active via context.engine.
- Model providers: all 33 discovered at first get_provider_profile();
user picks via --provider / config.
The plugins.enabled allow-list specifically gates:
- Standalone plugins (general tools/hooks/slash commands)
- User-installed backends
- User-installed platforms (third-party gateway adapters)
- Pip entry-point backends
Which matches the actual code in hermes_cli/plugins.py:737 where the
bundled+backend/platform check bypasses the allow-list.
Rewrote '## Plugins are opt-in' to:
- Retitle to 'Plugins are opt-in (with a few exceptions)'
- Narrow opening claim to 'General plugins and user-installed backends
are disabled by default'
- Added 'What the allow-list does NOT gate' subsection with a full
table of which bypass the gate and how they're activated instead
- Fixed migration section wording (bundled platform/backend plugins
never needed grandfathering)
Verified: docusaurus build SUCCESS, zero new broken links.

## Resolution precedence
At a high level, provider resolution uses:
1. explicit CLI/runtime request
2026-03-14 21:12:42 -07:00
2. `config.yaml` model/provider config
3. environment variables

2026-03-14 00:29:48 -07:00
4. provider-specific defaults or auto resolution
2026-03-14 21:12:42 -07:00
That ordering matters because Hermes treats the saved model/provider choice as the source of truth for normal runs. This prevents a stale shell export from silently overriding the endpoint a user last selected in `hermes model` .

## Providers
docs: round 2 audit — messaging, developer-guide, guides, integrations (#22858)
Cross-checked 75 docs pages under user-guide/messaging/, developer-guide/,
guides/, and integrations/ against the live registries and gateway code.
messaging/
- index.md: API Server toolset is hermes-api-server (was 'hermes (default)');
Google Chat slug is hermes-google_chat (underscore — plugin name uses _).
- google_chat.md: drop bogus 'pip install hermes-agent[google_chat]' (no such
extra); list the actual deps (google-cloud-pubsub, google-api-python-client,
google-auth, google-auth-oauthlib).
- qqbot.md: config namespace is platforms.qqbot (was platforms.qq, which is
silently ignored by the adapter); QQ_STT_BASE_URL is not read directly —
baseUrl lives under platforms.qqbot.extra.stt.
- teams-meetings.md: 'hermes teams-pipeline' is plugin-gated (teams_pipeline
plugin must be enabled), not a built-in subcommand.
- sms.md: example log line 0.0.0.0:8080 -> 127.0.0.1:8080 (default
SMS_WEBHOOK_HOST).
- open-webui.md: API_SERVER_* are env vars, not YAML keys — write them to
per-profile .env, not 'hermes config set' (same pattern fixed in
api-server.md last round). Also bumped example ports to 8650+ to dodge the
default webhook (8644)/wecom-callback (8645)/msgraph-webhook (8646)
collision.
developer-guide/
- architecture.md: tool/toolset counts (61/52 -> 70+/~28); LOC stamps for
run_agent.py, cli.py, hermes_cli/main.py, setup.py, mcp_tool.py,
gateway/run.py replaced with 'large file' to stop drifting.
- agent-loop.md: same LOC drift (~13,700 -> 'a large file (15k+ lines)').
- gateway-internals.md: '14+ external messaging platforms' -> '20+'; gateway
platform tree updated (qqbot is a sub-package, not qqbot.py; added
yuanbao.py, feishu_comment.py, msgraph_webhook.py); 'gateway/builtin_hooks/
(always active)' was wrong — it's an empty extension point and
_register_builtin_hooks() is a no-op stub.
- acp-internals.md: drop fictional 'message_callback' from the bridged-
callbacks list; clarify thinking_callback is currently set to None.
- provider-runtime.md: provider list was missing AWS Bedrock, Azure Foundry,
NVIDIA NIM, xAI, Arcee, GMI Cloud, StepFun, Qwen OAuth, Xiaomi, Ollama
Cloud, LM Studio, Tencent TokenHub. Fallback section described only the
legacy single-pair model — corrected to the canonical list-form
fallback_providers chain.
- environments.md: parsers list missing llama4_json and the deepseek_v31
alias; both register via @register_parser.
- browser-supervisor.md: drop reference to scripts/browser_supervisor_e2e.py
which doesn't exist in-repo.
- contributing.md: tinker-atropos is a git submodule — note that
'git submodule update --init' is required if cloning without
--recurse-submodules.
guides/
- operate-teams-meeting-pipeline.md: cron flags were all wrong — schedule is
positional (not --schedule), the script-only flag is --no-agent (not
--script-only), and there's no --command flag. Replaced with a real example
that creates the script under ~/.hermes/scripts/ and uses the actual flags.
Also replaced fictional 'hermes cron show <name>' with 'hermes cron status'.
- automation-templates.md: 'cron create --skills "a,b"' doesn't work —
the flag is --skill (singular, repeatable). Fixed all 5 occurrences via AST
rewrite.
- minimax-oauth.md: 'hermes auth add minimax-oauth --region cn' silently
fails because --region isn't registered on the auth-add argparse spec.
Pointed users at the minimax-cn provider (or MINIMAX_CN_API_KEY env) for
China-region access.
- cron-script-only.md: 'hermes send' is fictional — replaced the comparison-
table mention with a webhook-subscription pointer; also fixed the dead link
to /guides/pipe-script-output (page doesn't exist).
- cron-troubleshooting.md: 'hermes serve' isn't a real subcommand. Pointed
at 'hermes gateway' (foreground) / 'hermes gateway start' (service).
- local-ollama-setup.md: 'agent.api_timeout' is not a config key. The right
knob is the HERMES_API_TIMEOUT env var.
- python-library.md: run_conversation() return dict has only final_response
and messages — task_id is stored on the agent instance, not echoed back.
- use-mcp-with-hermes.md: '--args /c "npx -y …"' wraps the npx command in
one quoted string, so cmd.exe gets a single arg instead of the multi-token
command line it needs. Removed the surrounding quotes — argparse nargs='*'
collects each token correctly.
integrations/
- providers.md: Bedrock guardrail YAML keys were 'id'/'version' (don't exist);
actual keys are guardrail_identifier/guardrail_version (matches DEFAULT_CONFIG
and the run_agent.py reader). GMI default base URL (api.gmi.ai/v1 ->
api.gmi-serving.com/v1) and portal URL (inference.gmi.ai -> www.gmicloud.ai)
refreshed. Fallback section rewritten to lead with the canonical
fallback_providers list form (was leading with the legacy fallback_model
single dict); supported-providers list extended to include azure-foundry,
alibaba-coding-plan, lmstudio.
index.md
- '68 built-in tools' -> '70+'; '15+ platforms' was both inconsistent with
integrations/index.md ('19+') and undercounted — bumped to 20+ and added
Weixin/QQ Bot/Yuanbao/Google Chat to the list.
Validation: 'npm run build' clean (exit 0); broken-link count unchanged at
155 (same as round-1 post-skill-regen baseline). 24 files, +132/-89.

extra); list the actual deps (google-cloud-pubsub, google-api-python-client,
google-auth, google-auth-oauthlib).
- qqbot.md: config namespace is platforms.qqbot (was platforms.qq, which is
silently ignored by the adapter); QQ_STT_BASE_URL is not read directly —
baseUrl lives under platforms.qqbot.extra.stt.
- teams-meetings.md: 'hermes teams-pipeline' is plugin-gated (teams_pipeline
plugin must be enabled), not a built-in subcommand.
- sms.md: example log line 0.0.0.0:8080 -> 127.0.0.1:8080 (default
SMS_WEBHOOK_HOST).
- open-webui.md: API_SERVER_* are env vars, not YAML keys — write them to
per-profile .env, not 'hermes config set' (same pattern fixed in
api-server.md last round). Also bumped example ports to 8650+ to dodge the
default webhook (8644)/wecom-callback (8645)/msgraph-webhook (8646)
collision.
developer-guide/
- architecture.md: tool/toolset counts (61/52 -> 70+/~28); LOC stamps for
run_agent.py, cli.py, hermes_cli/main.py, setup.py, mcp_tool.py,
gateway/run.py replaced with 'large file' to stop drifting.
- agent-loop.md: same LOC drift (~13,700 -> 'a large file (15k+ lines)').
- gateway-internals.md: '14+ external messaging platforms' -> '20+'; gateway
platform tree updated (qqbot is a sub-package, not qqbot.py; added
yuanbao.py, feishu_comment.py, msgraph_webhook.py); 'gateway/builtin_hooks/
(always active)' was wrong — it's an empty extension point and
_register_builtin_hooks() is a no-op stub.
- acp-internals.md: drop fictional 'message_callback' from the bridged-
callbacks list; clarify thinking_callback is currently set to None.
- provider-runtime.md: provider list was missing AWS Bedrock, Azure Foundry,
NVIDIA NIM, xAI, Arcee, GMI Cloud, StepFun, Qwen OAuth, Xiaomi, Ollama
Cloud, LM Studio, Tencent TokenHub. Fallback section described only the
legacy single-pair model — corrected to the canonical list-form
fallback_providers chain.
- environments.md: parsers list missing llama4_json and the deepseek_v31
alias; both register via @register_parser.
- browser-supervisor.md: drop reference to scripts/browser_supervisor_e2e.py
which doesn't exist in-repo.
- contributing.md: tinker-atropos is a git submodule — note that
'git submodule update --init' is required if cloning without
--recurse-submodules.
guides/
- operate-teams-meeting-pipeline.md: cron flags were all wrong — schedule is
positional (not --schedule), the script-only flag is --no-agent (not
--script-only), and there's no --command flag. Replaced with a real example
that creates the script under ~/.hermes/scripts/ and uses the actual flags.
Also replaced fictional 'hermes cron show <name>' with 'hermes cron status'.
- automation-templates.md: 'cron create --skills "a,b"' doesn't work —
the flag is --skill (singular, repeatable). Fixed all 5 occurrences via AST
rewrite.
- minimax-oauth.md: 'hermes auth add minimax-oauth --region cn' silently
fails because --region isn't registered on the auth-add argparse spec.
Pointed users at the minimax-cn provider (or MINIMAX_CN_API_KEY env) for
China-region access.
- cron-script-only.md: 'hermes send' is fictional — replaced the comparison-
table mention with a webhook-subscription pointer; also fixed the dead link
to /guides/pipe-script-output (page doesn't exist).
- cron-troubleshooting.md: 'hermes serve' isn't a real subcommand. Pointed
at 'hermes gateway' (foreground) / 'hermes gateway start' (service).
- local-ollama-setup.md: 'agent.api_timeout' is not a config key. The right
knob is the HERMES_API_TIMEOUT env var.
- python-library.md: run_conversation() return dict has only final_response
and messages — task_id is stored on the agent instance, not echoed back.
- use-mcp-with-hermes.md: '--args /c "npx -y …"' wraps the npx command in
one quoted string, so cmd.exe gets a single arg instead of the multi-token
command line it needs. Removed the surrounding quotes — argparse nargs='*'
collects each token correctly.
integrations/
- providers.md: Bedrock guardrail YAML keys were 'id'/'version' (don't exist);
actual keys are guardrail_identifier/guardrail_version (matches DEFAULT_CONFIG
and the run_agent.py reader). GMI default base URL (api.gmi.ai/v1 ->
api.gmi-serving.com/v1) and portal URL (inference.gmi.ai -> www.gmicloud.ai)
refreshed. Fallback section rewritten to lead with the canonical
fallback_providers list form (was leading with the legacy fallback_model
single dict); supported-providers list extended to include azure-foundry,
alibaba-coding-plan, lmstudio.
index.md
- '68 built-in tools' -> '70+'; '15+ platforms' was both inconsistent with
integrations/index.md ('19+') and undercounted — bumped to 20+ and added
Weixin/QQ Bot/Yuanbao/Google Chat to the list.
Validation: 'npm run build' clean (exit 0); broken-link count unchanged at
155 (same as round-1 post-skill-regen baseline). 24 files, +132/-89.

## Output of runtime resolution
The runtime resolver returns data such as:
- `provider`
- `api_mode`
- `base_url`
- `api_key`
- `source`
- provider-specific metadata like expiry/refresh info
## Why this matters
This resolver is the main reason Hermes can share auth/runtime logic between:
- `hermes chat`
- gateway message handling
- cron jobs running in fresh sessions
- ACP editor sessions
- auxiliary model tasks
remove Vercel AI Gateway and Vercel Sandbox (#33067)
* remove Vercel AI Gateway provider and Vercel Sandbox terminal backend
Both Vercel-hosted integrations are removed end-to-end. Users on the AI
Gateway should switch to OpenRouter or one of the other aggregators
(Nous Portal, Kilo Code). Users on the Vercel Sandbox backend should
switch to Docker, Modal, Daytona, or SSH.
What's removed:
- `plugins/model-providers/ai-gateway/` provider plugin
- `hermes_cli/vercel_auth.py` Vercel-Sandbox auth helper
- `tools/environments/vercel_sandbox.py` terminal backend
- `ai-gateway` provider wiring across auth, doctor, setup, models,
config, status, providers, main, web_server, model_normalize, dump
- `vercel_sandbox` backend wiring across terminal_tool, file_tools,
code_execution_tool, file_operations, approval, skills_tool,
environments/local, credential_files, lazy_deps, prompt_builder,
cli, gateway/run
- `AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL` constant, `_AI_GATEWAY_HEADERS` auxiliary-client
header set, run_agent base-URL header/reasoning special-cases
- `[vercel]` pyproject extra and `vercel`/`vercel-workers` from uv.lock
- env vars: `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`, `AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL`, `VERCEL_TOKEN`,
`VERCEL_PROJECT_ID`, `VERCEL_TEAM_ID`, `VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN`,
`TERMINAL_VERCEL_RUNTIME`
- Tests: deletes test_ai_gateway_models.py and
test_vercel_sandbox_environment.py; scrubs references across 23
surviving test files (no entire tests deleted unless they were
dedicated to AI Gateway / Sandbox)
- Docs: provider tables, env-var reference, setup guides, security
notes, tool config, terminal-backend tables — English plus zh-Hans
i18n parity
- `hermes-agent` skill: provider table entry and remote-backend list
What stays (intentional):
- `popular-web-designs/templates/vercel.md` — CSS design reference,
unrelated to Vercel-the-AI-product
- `x-vercel-id` in `stream_diag.py` headers — generic Vercel CDN
response header, useful diag signal on any Vercel-hosted endpoint
- `vercel-labs/agent-browser` URL in browser config — lightpanda
browser project, different OSS effort
- `userStories.json` historical contributor entry mentioning Vercel
Sandbox — archive, not active docs
Validation:
- 1153 tests in the 22 targeted files pass (`scripts/run_tests.sh`)
- Full repo `py_compile` clean
- Live import of every touched module + invariant check (no
`ai-gateway` in `PROVIDER_REGISTRY`, no `_AI_GATEWAY_HEADERS`, no
`vercel_sandbox` in `_REMOTE_TERMINAL_BACKENDS`)
* test: convert profile-count check from change-detector to invariant
The hardcoded "== 34" assertion broke when ai-gateway was removed.
Per AGENTS.md change-detector-test guidance, assert the relationship
(registry count >= number of plugin dirs) instead of a literal count.
Counts shift when providers are added/removed; that's expected.

remove Vercel AI Gateway and Vercel Sandbox (#33067)
* remove Vercel AI Gateway provider and Vercel Sandbox terminal backend
Both Vercel-hosted integrations are removed end-to-end. Users on the AI
Gateway should switch to OpenRouter or one of the other aggregators
(Nous Portal, Kilo Code). Users on the Vercel Sandbox backend should
switch to Docker, Modal, Daytona, or SSH.
What's removed:
- `plugins/model-providers/ai-gateway/` provider plugin
- `hermes_cli/vercel_auth.py` Vercel-Sandbox auth helper
- `tools/environments/vercel_sandbox.py` terminal backend
- `ai-gateway` provider wiring across auth, doctor, setup, models,
config, status, providers, main, web_server, model_normalize, dump
- `vercel_sandbox` backend wiring across terminal_tool, file_tools,
code_execution_tool, file_operations, approval, skills_tool,
environments/local, credential_files, lazy_deps, prompt_builder,
cli, gateway/run
- `AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL` constant, `_AI_GATEWAY_HEADERS` auxiliary-client
header set, run_agent base-URL header/reasoning special-cases
- `[vercel]` pyproject extra and `vercel`/`vercel-workers` from uv.lock
- env vars: `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`, `AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL`, `VERCEL_TOKEN`,
`VERCEL_PROJECT_ID`, `VERCEL_TEAM_ID`, `VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN`,
`TERMINAL_VERCEL_RUNTIME`
- Tests: deletes test_ai_gateway_models.py and
test_vercel_sandbox_environment.py; scrubs references across 23
surviving test files (no entire tests deleted unless they were
dedicated to AI Gateway / Sandbox)
- Docs: provider tables, env-var reference, setup guides, security
notes, tool config, terminal-backend tables — English plus zh-Hans
i18n parity
- `hermes-agent` skill: provider table entry and remote-backend list
What stays (intentional):
- `popular-web-designs/templates/vercel.md` — CSS design reference,
unrelated to Vercel-the-AI-product
- `x-vercel-id` in `stream_diag.py` headers — generic Vercel CDN
response header, useful diag signal on any Vercel-hosted endpoint
- `vercel-labs/agent-browser` URL in browser config — lightpanda
browser project, different OSS effort
- `userStories.json` historical contributor entry mentioning Vercel
Sandbox — archive, not active docs
Validation:
- 1153 tests in the 22 targeted files pass (`scripts/run_tests.sh`)
- Full repo `py_compile` clean
- Live import of every touched module + invariant check (no
`ai-gateway` in `PROVIDER_REGISTRY`, no `_AI_GATEWAY_HEADERS`, no
`vercel_sandbox` in `_REMOTE_TERMINAL_BACKENDS`)
* test: convert profile-count check from change-detector to invariant
The hardcoded "== 34" assertion broke when ai-gateway was removed.
Per AGENTS.md change-detector-test guidance, assert the relationship
(registry count >= number of plugin dirs) instead of a literal count.
Counts shift when providers are added/removed; that's expected.
2026-05-27 00:43:32 -07:00
Hermes contains logic to avoid leaking the wrong API key to a custom endpoint when multiple provider keys exist (e.g. `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` and `OPENAI_API_KEY` ).
2026-03-17 00:12:16 -07:00
Each provider's API key is scoped to its own base URL:
- `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` is only sent to `openrouter.ai` endpoints
- `OPENAI_API_KEY` is used for custom endpoints and as a fallback
Hermes also distinguishes between:
2026-03-14 21:12:42 -07:00
- a real custom endpoint selected by the user
- the OpenRouter fallback path used when no custom endpoint is configured

2026-03-14 00:29:48 -07:00
That distinction is especially important for:

2026-03-14 00:29:48 -07:00
## Native Anthropic path
Anthropic is not just "via OpenRouter" anymore.
When provider resolution selects `anthropic` , Hermes uses:
- `api_mode = anthropic_messages`
- the native Anthropic Messages API
- `agent/anthropic_adapter.py` for translation
2026-03-14 19:49:38 -07:00
Credential resolution for native Anthropic now prefers refreshable Claude Code credentials over copied env tokens when both are present. In practice that means:
- Claude Code credential files are treated as the preferred source when they include refreshable auth
- manual `ANTHROPIC_TOKEN` / `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` values still work as explicit overrides
- Hermes preflights Anthropic credential refresh before native Messages API calls
- Hermes still retries once on a 401 after rebuilding the Anthropic client, as a fallback path

- add ACP user and developer docs covering setup, lifecycle, callbacks,
permissions, tool rendering, and runtime behavior

2026-03-14 00:29:48 -07:00
## OpenAI Codex path
Codex uses a separate Responses API path:
- `api_mode = codex_responses`
- dedicated credential resolution and auth store support
## Auxiliary model routing
Auxiliary tasks such as:
- vision
- web extraction summarization
- context compression summaries
- skills hub operations
- MCP helper operations
- memory flushes
can use their own provider/model routing rather than the main conversational model.
2026-03-14 21:12:42 -07:00
When an auxiliary task is configured with provider `main` , Hermes resolves that through the same shared runtime path as normal chat. In practice that means:
- env-driven custom endpoints still work
- custom endpoints saved via `hermes model` / `config.yaml` also work
- auxiliary routing can tell the difference between a real saved custom endpoint and the OpenRouter fallback
docs: add ACP and internal systems implementation guides
- add ACP user and developer docs covering setup, lifecycle, callbacks,
permissions, tool rendering, and runtime behavior

2026-03-14 00:29:48 -07:00
## Fallback models
docs: round 2 audit — messaging, developer-guide, guides, integrations (#22858)
Cross-checked 75 docs pages under user-guide/messaging/, developer-guide/,
guides/, and integrations/ against the live registries and gateway code.
messaging/
- index.md: API Server toolset is hermes-api-server (was 'hermes (default)');
Google Chat slug is hermes-google_chat (underscore — plugin name uses _).
- google_chat.md: drop bogus 'pip install hermes-agent[google_chat]' (no such
extra); list the actual deps (google-cloud-pubsub, google-api-python-client,
google-auth, google-auth-oauthlib).
- qqbot.md: config namespace is platforms.qqbot (was platforms.qq, which is
silently ignored by the adapter); QQ_STT_BASE_URL is not read directly —
baseUrl lives under platforms.qqbot.extra.stt.
- teams-meetings.md: 'hermes teams-pipeline' is plugin-gated (teams_pipeline
plugin must be enabled), not a built-in subcommand.
- sms.md: example log line 0.0.0.0:8080 -> 127.0.0.1:8080 (default
SMS_WEBHOOK_HOST).
- open-webui.md: API_SERVER_* are env vars, not YAML keys — write them to
per-profile .env, not 'hermes config set' (same pattern fixed in
api-server.md last round). Also bumped example ports to 8650+ to dodge the
default webhook (8644)/wecom-callback (8645)/msgraph-webhook (8646)
collision.
developer-guide/
- architecture.md: tool/toolset counts (61/52 -> 70+/~28); LOC stamps for
run_agent.py, cli.py, hermes_cli/main.py, setup.py, mcp_tool.py,
gateway/run.py replaced with 'large file' to stop drifting.
- agent-loop.md: same LOC drift (~13,700 -> 'a large file (15k+ lines)').
- gateway-internals.md: '14+ external messaging platforms' -> '20+'; gateway
platform tree updated (qqbot is a sub-package, not qqbot.py; added
yuanbao.py, feishu_comment.py, msgraph_webhook.py); 'gateway/builtin_hooks/
(always active)' was wrong — it's an empty extension point and
_register_builtin_hooks() is a no-op stub.
- acp-internals.md: drop fictional 'message_callback' from the bridged-
callbacks list; clarify thinking_callback is currently set to None.
- provider-runtime.md: provider list was missing AWS Bedrock, Azure Foundry,
NVIDIA NIM, xAI, Arcee, GMI Cloud, StepFun, Qwen OAuth, Xiaomi, Ollama
Cloud, LM Studio, Tencent TokenHub. Fallback section described only the
legacy single-pair model — corrected to the canonical list-form
fallback_providers chain.
- environments.md: parsers list missing llama4_json and the deepseek_v31
alias; both register via @register_parser.
- browser-supervisor.md: drop reference to scripts/browser_supervisor_e2e.py
which doesn't exist in-repo.
- contributing.md: tinker-atropos is a git submodule — note that
'git submodule update --init' is required if cloning without
--recurse-submodules.
guides/
- operate-teams-meeting-pipeline.md: cron flags were all wrong — schedule is
positional (not --schedule), the script-only flag is --no-agent (not
--script-only), and there's no --command flag. Replaced with a real example
that creates the script under ~/.hermes/scripts/ and uses the actual flags.
Also replaced fictional 'hermes cron show <name>' with 'hermes cron status'.
- automation-templates.md: 'cron create --skills "a,b"' doesn't work —
the flag is --skill (singular, repeatable). Fixed all 5 occurrences via AST
rewrite.
- minimax-oauth.md: 'hermes auth add minimax-oauth --region cn' silently
fails because --region isn't registered on the auth-add argparse spec.
Pointed users at the minimax-cn provider (or MINIMAX_CN_API_KEY env) for
China-region access.
- cron-script-only.md: 'hermes send' is fictional — replaced the comparison-
table mention with a webhook-subscription pointer; also fixed the dead link
to /guides/pipe-script-output (page doesn't exist).
- cron-troubleshooting.md: 'hermes serve' isn't a real subcommand. Pointed
at 'hermes gateway' (foreground) / 'hermes gateway start' (service).
- local-ollama-setup.md: 'agent.api_timeout' is not a config key. The right
knob is the HERMES_API_TIMEOUT env var.
- python-library.md: run_conversation() return dict has only final_response
and messages — task_id is stored on the agent instance, not echoed back.
- use-mcp-with-hermes.md: '--args /c "npx -y …"' wraps the npx command in
one quoted string, so cmd.exe gets a single arg instead of the multi-token
command line it needs. Removed the surrounding quotes — argparse nargs='*'
collects each token correctly.
integrations/
- providers.md: Bedrock guardrail YAML keys were 'id'/'version' (don't exist);
actual keys are guardrail_identifier/guardrail_version (matches DEFAULT_CONFIG
and the run_agent.py reader). GMI default base URL (api.gmi.ai/v1 ->
api.gmi-serving.com/v1) and portal URL (inference.gmi.ai -> www.gmicloud.ai)
refreshed. Fallback section rewritten to lead with the canonical
fallback_providers list form (was leading with the legacy fallback_model
single dict); supported-providers list extended to include azure-foundry,
alibaba-coding-plan, lmstudio.
index.md
- '68 built-in tools' -> '70+'; '15+ platforms' was both inconsistent with
integrations/index.md ('19+') and undercounted — bumped to 20+ and added
Weixin/QQ Bot/Yuanbao/Google Chat to the list.
Validation: 'npm run build' clean (exit 0); broken-link count unchanged at
155 (same as round-1 post-skill-regen baseline). 24 files, +132/-89.
2026-05-09 15:00:24 -07:00
Hermes supports a configured fallback provider chain — a list of `(provider, model)` entries tried in order when the primary model encounters errors. The legacy single-pair `fallback_model` dict is still accepted for back-compat (and migrated on first write).
2026-03-15 06:24:28 -07:00
### How it works internally
1. **Storage** : `AIAgent.__init__` stores the `fallback_model` dict and sets `_fallback_activated = False` .
2. **Trigger points** : `_try_activate_fallback()` is called from three places in the main retry loop in `run_agent.py` :
- After max retries on invalid API responses (None choices, missing content)
- On non-retryable client errors (HTTP 401, 403, 404)
- After max retries on transient errors (HTTP 429, 500, 502, 503)
3. **Activation flow** (`_try_activate_fallback` ):
- Returns `False` immediately if already activated or not configured
- Calls `resolve_provider_client()` from `auxiliary_client.py` to build a new client with proper auth
- Determines `api_mode` : `codex_responses` for openai-codex, `anthropic_messages` for anthropic, `chat_completions` for everything else
- Swaps in-place: `self.model` , `self.provider` , `self.base_url` , `self.api_mode` , `self.client` , `self._client_kwargs`
- For anthropic fallback: builds a native Anthropic client instead of OpenAI-compatible
- Re-evaluates prompt caching (enabled for Claude models on OpenRouter)
- Sets `_fallback_activated = True` — prevents firing again
- Resets retry count to 0 and continues the loop
4. **Config flow** :
- CLI: `cli.py` reads `CLI_CONFIG["fallback_model"]` → passes to `AIAgent(fallback_model=...)`
- Gateway: `gateway/run.py._load_fallback_model()` reads `config.yaml` → passes to `AIAgent`
- Validation: both `provider` and `model` keys must be non-empty, or fallback is disabled
### What does NOT support fallback
- **Subagent delegation** (`tools/delegate_tool.py` ): subagents inherit the parent's provider but not the fallback config
- **Auxiliary tasks**: use their own independent provider auto-detection chain (see Auxiliary model routing above)
docs: resync reference, user-guide, developer-guide, and messaging pages against code (#17738)
Broad drift audit against origin/main (b52b63396).
Reference pages (most user-visible drift):
- slash-commands: add /busy, /curator, /footer, /indicator, /redraw, /steer
that were missing; drop non-existent /terminal-setup; fix /q footnote
(resolves to /queue, not /quit); extend CLI-only list with all 24
CLI-only commands in the registry
- cli-commands: add dedicated sections for hermes curator / fallback /
hooks (new subcommands not previously documented); remove stale
hermes honcho standalone section (the plugin registers dynamically
via hermes memory); list curator/fallback/hooks in top-level table;
fix completion to include fish
- toolsets-reference: document the real 52-toolset count; split browser
vs browser-cdp; add discord / discord_admin / spotify / yuanbao;
correct hermes-cli tool count from 36 to 38; fix misleading claim
that hermes-homeassistant adds tools (it's identical to hermes-cli)
- tools-reference: bump tool count 55 -> 68; add 7 Spotify, 5 Yuanbao,
2 Discord toolsets; move browser_cdp/browser_dialog to their own
browser-cdp toolset section
- environment-variables: add 40+ user-facing HERMES_* vars that were
undocumented (--yolo, --accept-hooks, --ignore-*, inference model
override, agent/stream/checkpoint timeouts, OAuth trace, per-platform
batch tuning for Telegram/Discord/Matrix/Feishu/WeCom, cron knobs,
gateway restart/connect timeouts); dedupe the Cron Scheduler section;
replace stale QQ_SANDBOX with QQ_PORTAL_HOST
User-guide (top level):
- cli.md: compression preserves last 20 turns, not 4 (protect_last_n: 20)
- configuration.md: display.platforms is the canonical per-platform
override key; tool_progress_overrides is deprecated and auto-migrated
- profiles.md: model.default is the config key, not model.model
- sessions.md: CLI/TUI session IDs use 6-char hex, gateway uses 8
- checkpoints-and-rollback.md: destructive-command list now matches
_DESTRUCTIVE_PATTERNS (adds rmdir, cp, install, dd)
- docker.md: the container runs as non-root hermes (UID 10000) via
gosu; fix install command (uv pip); add missing --insecure on the
dashboard compose example (required for non-loopback bind)
- security.md: systemctl danger pattern also matches 'restart'
- index.md: built-in tool count 47 -> 68
- integrations/index.md: 6 STT providers, 8 memory providers
- integrations/providers.md: drop fictional dashscope/qwen aliases
Features:
- overview.md: 9 image models (not 8), 9 TTS providers (not 5),
8 memory providers (Supermemory was missing)
- tool-gateway.md: 9 image models
- tools.md: extend common-toolsets list with search / messaging /
spotify / discord / debugging / safe
- fallback-providers.md: add 6 real providers from PROVIDER_REGISTRY
(lmstudio, kimi-coding-cn, stepfun, alibaba-coding-plan,
tencent-tokenhub, azure-foundry)
- plugins.md: Available Hooks table now includes on_session_finalize,
on_session_reset, subagent_stop
- built-in-plugins.md: add the 7 bundled plugins the page didn't
mention (spotify, google_meet, three image_gen providers, two
dashboard examples)
- web-dashboard.md: add --insecure and --tui flags
- cron.md: hermes cron create takes positional schedule/prompt, not
flags
Messaging:
- telegram.md: TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_SECRET is now REQUIRED when
TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_URL is set (gateway refuses to start without it
per GHSA-3vpc-7q5r-276h). Biggest user-visible drift in the batch.
- discord.md: HERMES_DISCORD_TEXT_BATCH_SPLIT_DELAY_SECONDS default
is 2.0, not 0.1
- dingtalk.md: document DINGTALK_REQUIRE_MENTION /
FREE_RESPONSE_CHATS / MENTION_PATTERNS / HOME_CHANNEL /
ALLOW_ALL_USERS that the adapter supports
- bluebubbles.md: drop fictional BLUEBUBBLES_SEND_READ_RECEIPTS env
var; the setting lives in platforms.bluebubbles.extra only
- qqbot.md: drop dead QQ_SANDBOX; add real QQ_PORTAL_HOST and
QQ_GROUP_ALLOWED_USERS
- wecom-callback.md: replace 'hermes gateway start' (service-only)
with 'hermes gateway' for first-time setup
Developer-guide:
- architecture.md: refresh tool/toolset counts (61/52), terminal
backend count (7), line counts for run_agent.py (~13.7k), cli.py
(~11.5k), main.py (~10.4k), setup.py (~3.5k), gateway/run.py
(~12.2k), mcp_tool.py (~3.1k); add yuanbao adapter, bump platform
adapter count 18 -> 20
- agent-loop.md: run_agent.py line count 10.7k -> 13.7k
- tools-runtime.md: add vercel_sandbox backend
- adding-tools.md: remove stale 'Discovery import added to
model_tools.py' checklist item (registry auto-discovery)
- adding-platform-adapters.md: mark send_typing / get_chat_info as
concrete base methods; only connect/disconnect/send are abstract
- acp-internals.md: ACP sessions now persist to SessionDB
(~/.hermes/state.db); acp.run_agent call uses
use_unstable_protocol=True
- cron-internals.md: gateway runs scheduler in a dedicated background
thread via _start_cron_ticker, not on a maintenance cycle; locking
is cross-process via fcntl.flock (Unix) / msvcrt.locking (Windows)
- gateway-internals.md: gateway/run.py ~12k lines
- provider-runtime.md: cron DOES support fallback (run_job reads
fallback_providers from config)
- session-storage.md: SCHEMA_VERSION = 11 (not 9); add migrations
10 and 11 (trigram FTS, inline-mode FTS5 re-index); add
api_call_count column to Sessions DDL; document messages_fts_trigram
and state_meta in the architecture tree
- context-compression-and-caching.md: remove the obsolete 'context
pressure warnings' section (warnings were removed for causing
models to give up early)
- context-engine-plugin.md: compress() signature now includes
focus_topic param
- extending-the-cli.md: _build_tui_layout_children signature now
includes model_picker_widget; add to default layout
Also fixed three pre-existing broken links/anchors the build warned
about (docker.md -> api-server.md, yuanbao.md -> cron-jobs.md and
tips#background-tasks, nix-setup.md -> #container-aware-cli).
Regenerated per-skill pages via website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py
so catalog tables and sidebar are consistent with current SKILL.md
frontmatter.
docusaurus build: clean, no broken links or anchors.
2026-04-29 20:55:59 -07:00
Cron jobs **do** support fallback: `run_job()` reads `fallback_providers` (or legacy `fallback_model` ) from `config.yaml` and passes it to `AIAgent(fallback_model=...)` , matching the gateway's `_load_fallback_model()` pattern. See [Cron Internals ](./cron-internals.md ).

### Test coverage
docs: 30-day overhaul — correctness audit, PR coverage, Nous Portal weave, sidebar reorg (#33782)
* docs(audit): correctness pass across getting-started, reference, features, messaging, developer-guide, guides, integrations, user-guide
* docs: add PR coverage for last 30d + Nous Portal weave + nav reorg + build fixes
- Add docs for top user-visible PRs that shipped without docs (api-server
session control, kanban features, telegram pin/edit, provider client tag,
xAI retired-model migration, cron name lookup, --branch update flag, etc.)
- Apply Nous Portal weave across 23 pages (tasteful one-liners on
getting-started/learning-path, configuration, overview, vision, x-search,
credential-pools, provider-routing, cron, codex-runtime, profiles, docker,
messaging/index, multiple guides, plus FAQ + index promotion)
- Reorganize sidebar: split Messaging into Popular/M365/Chinese/Other,
Reference into Command/Configuration/Tools-Skills sub-categories, add
orphan developer-guide pages (web-search-provider-plugin,
browser-supervisor), move features from Integrations back to Features,
fold lone spotify into Media & Web.
- Regenerate skill stubs + catalogs (kanban-codex-lane, hermes-s6-container-
supervision, web-pentest)
- Fix broken anchor links (security/cron, configuration/fallback, telegram
large-files, adding-platform-adapters step-by-step)
2026-05-28 02:41:36 -07:00
Fallback behavior is exercised across several suites:
- `tests/run_agent/test_fallback_credential_isolation.py` — credential isolation between primary and fallback
- `tests/hermes_cli/test_fallback_cmd.py` — the `/fallback` CLI command
- `tests/gateway/test_fallback_eviction.py` — gateway eviction of failed providers
docs: add ACP and internal systems implementation guides
- add ACP user and developer docs covering setup, lifecycle, callbacks,
permissions, tool rendering, and runtime behavior
- add developer guides for agent loop, provider runtime resolution,
prompt assembly, context caching/compression, gateway internals,
session storage, tools runtime, trajectories, and cron internals
- refresh architecture, quickstart, installation, CLI reference, and
