For each issue anchor present in BASE 63279301bc non-test .py and absent on HEAD, the BASE comment/docstring block was re-attached at the HEAD location of the code it explained (matched by the distinctive code line / enclosing def). Sentences already covered by an existing HEAD comment were deduped; the issue number always survives. Insert-only: no code lines changed.
The chat_completions chokepoint fix (ultra->max for every model,
cherry-picked from #89509) has siblings with the same bug shape:
- codex.py: ultra->max was gated on gpt-5.6 only; now baseline for all
Responses-API models (backend-specific branches still override).
- Kimi top-level reasoning_effort: K3 accepts low/high/max only —
'medium' and upper-ladder levels were dropped to the medium default
(400s on K3, ladder inversion on K2). Full ladder mapped per family,
mirroring the kimi-coding plugin's K3 map.
- TokenHub: 'minimal' fell through to the 'high' default (asked least,
got most); full ladder now mapped onto low/medium/high.
- auxiliary_client Responses path: ultra->max alongside the existing
minimal->low clamp.
- custom provider plugin: ultra capped at max instead of forwarded
verbatim to GLM/vLLM/SGLang backends that reject it.
- copilot plugin: ad-hoc downgrade rules replaced with the shared
clamp_reasoning_effort_to_supported ladder walk so ultra/max resolve
to the strongest supported level instead of medium (#74295).
Sabotage-verified: new sibling-site tests fail 6/10 without the fixes.
The Copilot provider profile unconditionally mapped ``xhigh`` to ``high`` before
checking the model's catalog, so models that DO support ``xhigh`` (e.g. the
gpt-5.x family per the live /models catalog) were silently capped one level
down.
Honor the requested effort when the catalog lists it as supported, and only
downgrade when it does not, choosing the nearest weaker supported level
(xhigh->high, minimal->low, else medium, else the first supported level). This
matches the nearest-down clamp behavior used elsewhere for the ``max`` effort.
Adds tests/plugins/model_providers/test_copilot_profile.py covering forward,
downgrade, and fallback paths (catalog lookup stubbed).
Every provider profile is now a self-contained plugin under
plugins/model-providers/<name>/, mirroring the plugins/platforms/
pattern established for IRC and Teams. The ProviderProfile ABC
stays in providers/; the per-provider profile data moves out.
- plugins/model-providers/<name>/__init__.py calls register_provider()
- plugins/model-providers/<name>/plugin.yaml declares kind: model-provider
- providers/__init__.py._discover_providers() lazily scans bundled plugins
then $HERMES_HOME/plugins/model-providers/<name>/ (user override path)
- User plugins with the same name override bundled ones (last-writer-wins
in register_provider)
- Legacy providers/<name>.py layout still supported for back-compat with
out-of-tree editable installs
- Hermes PluginManager: new kind=model-provider; skipped like memory
plugins (providers/ discovery owns them); standalone plugins with
register_provider+ProviderProfile in their __init__.py auto-coerce to
this kind (same heuristic as memory providers)
- skip_names extended to include 'model-providers' so the general
PluginManager doesn't double-scan the category
- 4 new tests in tests/providers/test_plugin_discovery.py covering
bundled discovery, user override, and general-loader isolation
- Docs updated: website/docs/developer-guide/adding-providers.md,
provider-runtime.md, providers/README.md, plugins/model-providers/README.md
No API break: auth.py / config.py / doctor.py / models.py / runtime_provider.py /
model_metadata.py / auxiliary_client.py / chat_completions.py / run_agent.py
all still consume providers via get_provider_profile() / list_providers() —
they just now see plugin-discovered entries instead of pkgutil-iterated ones.
Third parties can now drop a single directory into
~/.hermes/plugins/model-providers/<name>/ to add or override an inference
provider without touching the repo.
