With a main provider selected, an unusable main route (expired xAI/Codex
OAuth token, 401/402/429 mid-session) fell through the built-in discovery
chain (OpenRouter -> Nous -> custom -> api-key) and quietly ran every
compression, title and memory-flush call on whichever OTHER account was
still logged in. Reported as "using Grok on my Premium+ sub, my Nous
Portal balance kept draining" — the chat visibly stayed on Grok while the
side tasks were billed elsewhere, and re-logging into X did not help
because the aux side never consulted the selected provider.
The discovery chain is now reserved for installs with no selected main
provider (`model.provider: auto` / unset). Otherwise the ladder is
main -> auxiliary.<task>.fallback_chain -> fallback_providers -> refuse
with a warning naming the dead provider and the fix. Both entry points
gate on the same predicate: the resolve-time route and the mid-request
payment/auth hop (_try_payment_fallback).
Existing chain tests that asserted the hop now pin `provider=auto`, the
one case where discovery is still the contract.
Every direct-API (api.openai.com) Astra request raised
``TypeError: Responses.create() got an unexpected keyword argument 'prompt_cache_options'``
before reaching the network: openai 2.24.0's Responses.create has no such parameter and no
**kwargs, and neither send path relocates it into extra_body. The PR's tests stopped at
build_kwargs/preflight so the SDK boundary was never crossed.
OpenAI's prompt-caching guide states ``prompt_cache_options.ttl`` accepts only ``30m`` and that
``30m`` is the default, so the field carried no information: sending nothing yields the same
cache lifetime. The sanitizer now only removes what the API rejects (none/minimal effort,
sampling/logprob knobs, the pre-5.6 ``prompt_cache_retention``) and never adds a field, which
also keeps the request body byte-stable for the cache prefix.
Also: none/minimal→low no longer needs a bespoke {"", "none", "disabled", "off"} set —
``clamp_effort`` against CODEX_ASTRA_EFFORTS already resolves to the floor (``low``); and the
auxiliary adapter derives ``is_codex_backend`` from ``classify_responses_route`` (the declared
single owner of that predicate) instead of re-implementing the host test inline.
Tests reshaped to contracts: the two proxy/subdomain cases collapse into one parametrised
"exact host only" test asserting effort and temperature pass through untouched.
Two test-only corrections for the failures on run 34105317301:
- tests/agent/test_anthropic_adapter.py::TestResolveAnthropicToken: the new
skip_borrowed branch reads ``entry.source``. ``PooledCredential.source`` is a
required dataclass field that ``from_dict`` always materializes (defaults to
SOURCE_MANUAL) and ``_available_entries`` returns only PooledCredential, so a
production entry can never lack it. The three SimpleNamespace doubles were the
incomplete side; build them via ``PooledCredential.from_dict`` instead of
duck-typing production with getattr.
- tests/agent/test_auxiliary_client.py::test_stale_anthropic_fallback_refreshes_and_retries:
the PR itself now passes ``failed_api_key=<client.api_key>`` into
``_refresh_provider_credentials`` so an unrelated borrowed login never owns the
refresh; the assertion still expected the bare ``("anthropic")`` call. Give the
stale client an explicit api_key and assert the request-bound call. Main's
auxiliary changes since the PR base (ebe4e7bb44, b40998bc3c..cb1a42d33b) did not
move this call.
Port owned-before-borrowed resolution from #104624, crediting the root cause in #104622. Include the synchronous and asynchronous auxiliary fallback recovery sites: forward the failed request key so an unrelated borrowed login never owns that refresh. Local-wire probes preserve the borrowed file and exchange only the owned grant. Broader validation remains queued; do not treat this commit as ready.

The compression/aux fallback ladder decides "payment error" via
_is_payment_error(), which only knew the spaced "resource exhausted". NVIDIA NIM
and gRPC-style wrappers serialize the same quota signal as ResourceExhausted /
RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED / resource-exhausted, so a 403/429/status-less body carrying
it re-raised instead of walking the configured fallback_chain, and compression
fell to the lossy emergency path. Add the three separator variants to
_PAYMENT_KEYWORDS (same status gate, no broader "exhausted" matching).
evals/auxiliary_resource_exhausted.py drives the real call_llm/async_call_llm
against two local OpenAI-compatible listeners (nvidia profile primary, named
custom fallback) for the before/after check. #85649
f50b5bb0fa taught the sync retry site to keep the cheap same-provider retry
when a Codex stream dies inside the 60s no-progress window (zero output),
skipping straight to fallback only on a stall or hard-ceiling timeout. The
async site never got that carve-out, so after widening the skip to vision
(#97572) an async vision call on a stillborn stream would have jumped to
fallback where the sync path retries. Both sites now apply the same rule.
Adds the async twin of the vision-skip test and a no-progress-still-retries
guard for the async site.
Issue #54465 established that a same-provider retry after a full-budget
timeout costs a second whole `timeout` window before the fallback chain is
reached, doubling the user-visible stall, and that compression must not pay
it because it sits on a critical path. The guard added for that is spelled
`task == "compression"`, so vision — which sits on the interactive path —
still retries.
The cost is the same and the stall is more visible: the turn holding the
image cannot answer, and because turns are serialised the following user
messages queue behind it. Two sequential full-budget timeouts on an
unhealthy vision provider is a long stall for something the fallback chain
could have served immediately.
Replaces the string comparison at both retry sites (sync `call_llm` and
`async_call_llm`) with `_TIMEOUT_NO_RETRY_TASKS = {"compression", "vision"}`,
so the two paths cannot drift again. Behaviour is unchanged for every other
task: fast blips (a streaming-close or a 5xx) still retry, and only
full-budget timeouts on those two tasks skip straight to fallback.
Tests: vision now falls straight through to fallback with the primary tried
exactly once, and a non-critical task still gets its one same-provider
retry, so the change stays scoped. Reverting the source change fails the
vision test and leaves the scoping test green.
Not the same as #51513, which fixes five separate defects in the vision
fallback chain (capability detection, sync/async client misuse, geo-block
and RemoteProtocolError classification, and chain iteration). This is about
what happens before that chain is reached.

Three kills at the shared chokepoints:
1. resolve_provider() now REFUSES env-key/pool auto-adoption of openrouter
while the active config.yaml is corrupt (AuthError code=corrupt_config).
A broken config falls back to DEFAULT_CONFIG, so tier-2 found no
model.provider and tier-3/4 silently adopted the PAID openrouter provider
against the user's real (unparseable) intent. New probe:
hermes_cli.config.get_active_config_parse_failure(), recorded in the
existing _warn_config_parse_failure() funnel keyed by (mtime_ns, size) —
a fixed file clears the block immediately. Explicit provider requests
are untouched.
2. auxiliary lane built-in OpenRouter fallback model is now a :free SKU
(nvidia/nemotron-3-ultra-550b-a55b:free) instead of the paid
google/gemini-3.6-flash. User-configured auxiliary.openrouter_model is
honored untouched (paid-lane warning retained).
3. env->pool ingestion of OPENROUTER_API_KEY now logs a WARNING (once per
process per provider) when a credential is newly ingested — ingestion
itself stays allowed.
Fixes#81952 (silent-paid-default half; sibling PR covers the
non-interactive fail-closed guard).
`agent/anthropic_adapter.py` was 3,423 lines and this PR adds another auth
boundary to it. Split along the seams that were already there, so the
credential surface this PR changes has a single owner instead of being
interleaved with request building:
- `agent/anthropic_endpoints.py` (258) — base-URL/endpoint-family predicates.
Pure functions over a URL string, which is what lets both of the modules
below depend on it without a cycle.
- `agent/anthropic_message_convert.py` (1,225) — OpenAI-style to Anthropic
Messages payload conversion: model ids, tool schemas, content/thinking
blocks, tool_use pairing, cache_control, screenshot eviction, blank-block
scrubbing.
- `agent/anthropic_credentials.py` (910) — credential sources, the OAuth
flows, and the refresh commit (`CredentialPersistError` and both singleton
writers).
- `agent/anthropic_adapter.py` (1,215) — client construction and the Messages
API call, re-exporting every name from the three modules above so existing
`from agent.anthropic_adapter import ...` imports keep resolving. The
re-export surface was diffed against the pre-split module: nothing dropped.
Call sites that read a moved name through the adapter's namespace at runtime
(`credential_pool._refresh_entry_impl`, `auxiliary_client`) now import it from
the defining module, so there is one patchable seam rather than two bindings
that can disagree. The tests that monkeypatched those seams were retargeted to
match; no assertion was changed.
No behavior change.
responses.create re-walks the entire request body against the
ResponseCreateParams union graph client-side while holding the GIL.
#93650 documents that walk wedging for 12+ hours on a ~1.4 MB
conversation, starving every other thread including the TTFB/stale
watchdogs — and no socket kill can unblock a pre-network hang.
Hermes payloads are JSON round-trips and already wire format, so the
bulk fields (input, tools) are now routed through extra_body, which the
SDK merges into the JSON body after the transform. Guarded by a
plain-JSON check (anything else keeps the typed path) and a
HERMES_CODEX_SDK_TRANSFORM=1 escape hatch. Applied to both the primary
stream path and the auxiliary adapter.

- credits_tracker: trim inline comment block (duplicated docstring) and
correct its safety claim - a paid model under stealth/ would fail
closed (suppressed banner), not open; state the trade-off honestly.
- run_agent: update stale call-site comment to mention stealth/ prefix.
- auxiliary_client: widen sibling free-SKU detector _is_free_model to
recognize stealth/ prefix (same bug class as #91843: free_only=true
wrongly skipped the OpenRouter fallback and the paid-lane warning
fired spuriously for stealth models).
- tests: bind the new sibling behavior (stealth/ox-alpha free,
my-stealth/model not).
Implement Claude Opus review findings for Meta API support:
- Document in agent/agent_init.py that provider="meta" without an api.meta.ai URL falls through to chat_completions by design (URL-driven wire selection).
- Comment on suppression guard in hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py noting api.meta.ai is handled by _detect_api_mode_for_url.
- Replace inline __import__ with top-of-module import in tests/hermes_cli/test_model_switch_openai_api_mode.py.
- Rename test_meta_retention_not_sent_when_overridden -> test_meta_retention_override_wins in tests/agent/transports/test_meta_codex_cache.py.
- Add test in tests/agent/test_meta_agent_init.py for provider="meta" fallback without api.meta.ai URL.
- Add test in tests/agent/test_auxiliary_client.py for prompt_cache_retention: "24h" under _CodexCompletionsAdapter.

Two lookalike gaps found auditing the titler.
_MACHINE_PREFIXES missed the compressor's legacy summary opener and the
"[System note:" injections, so a compacted or resumed session could be
named after the note that carried it. Take the summary prefix from the
compressor that emits it rather than keeping a fourth local copy.
The fast-model exclude list covered embedders but not the other non-chat
siblings a provider names after its chat model — "gpt-4o-mini-tts"
satisfies the "-mini" rung and cannot answer a prompt.
The fast-model picker reads /v1/models to find the small model a provider
currently serves, and it asked anonymously. Most of those endpoints need a
key, so the fetch 401'd and the empty result read as "this provider has no
small model" — the picker fell back to its curated list and never noticed.
Worse, a failed fetch cached its empty result forever, so one bad moment
during startup disabled live model discovery for the life of the process,
and the processes that read this run for weeks. Give the failure an expiry
and pass the provider's credentials.
The bare family rungs (-mini, -flash, haiku) also picked whichever id
sorted first, which is the oldest generation a provider still serves:
gpt-3.5-mini over gpt-5.4-mini, claude-3-haiku over claude-haiku-4.5.
Compare the digit runs as numbers so the rung meant to keep us current
does.
Titling ran on the user's main chat model, so a five-word title was billed
to a frontier reasoning model and inherited its latency. Pinning a cheap
model id instead just moves the problem: the hardcoded default was already
dead upstream and every call paid a 404 before the retry net caught it.
Match model FAMILIES against the provider's live /v1/models catalog,
preferring rolling '-latest' aliases where a provider publishes them, and
order the families by measured latency. Nothing to bump when a provider
ships a new mini/flash/haiku. Opt-in per task, so compression, vision, and
search keep 'auto means my chat model'.
Cherry-picked from PR #78959 by @JoaoMarcos44 with authorship preserved.
Follow-up: hoist _cache_scope_from_session_id(session_id) to a local in
build_kwargs so it's computed once instead of 4 times per call.

- Merge _aux_free_only() + _aux_openrouter_model() into single
_aux_openrouter_settings() that reads config once via
load_config_readonly (avoids double deepcopy).
- Remove 15-line block comment and 5-line inline comment that
restated what the code already says.
- Trim module docstring from 10 lines to 3.
- Update test patches to target load_config_readonly.
_call_fallback_candidate_sync replans messages/tools for each resolved
destination, but its async mirror still shipped the caller's decorated
sections verbatim — the primary destination's markers (including a
direct-native tool marker) leaked to fallback candidates with different
cache contracts, and the relay saw the display label instead of the
resolved provider/api_mode. Mirror the sync path: resolve the
destination, replan both sections, thread provider/api_mode through
_relay_async_completion, and replan again for the auth-refresh retry
client. Mutation-checked: the new parity test fails on the verbatim
pass-through shape.
Follow-up to #76032 (#20880).
Python keeps only the last definition of a name in a scope, so a duplicate
silently deletes the first. Four had accumulated, and two cost real coverage.
tests/agent/test_auxiliary_client.py grew a second _clean_env autouse fixture
alongside an NVIDIA feature. Being module-level with the same name, it
replaced the original for all 158 tests in the file: the ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
ANTHROPIC_TOKEN, CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN, OPENAI_MODEL, LLM_MODEL and
NOUS_INFERENCE_BASE_URL stripping went away, and so did the _aux_unhealthy_*
cache reset between tests. Two tests had already started clearing that cache
by hand to work around the leak, one of them with a comment describing the
pollution. The NVIDIA keys are folded into the original fixture and the
duplicate removed.
tests/gateway/test_mattermost.py had two copies of
test_progress_send_with_invalid_thread_root_never_falls_back_flat. The
surviving copy omitted the recorded 400 "invalid root_id" state, so the case
the name describes never ran. Both now run under distinct names.
The other two were harmless but hid the pattern: an exact duplicate in
test_tts_media_routing.py, and a dead _codex_auth_store in
test_credential_pool.py that nothing calls.
tests/test_no_shadowed_test_definitions.py walks every test module and fails
on any repeated definition in one scope, exempting the property/setter/
register family and throwaway _ callbacks. It fails on main listing exactly
these four.
Narrow the moa_aggregator Relay bypass to CodexAuxiliaryClient and add
coverage that call_llm(stream=True) returns the provider's direct
create() result for Responses-shim clients.

Main's 243c9182b1/a16fd675df/7142dc4580 added load_config_readonly
sibling stubs across 38 files; our pruned versions of 11 of those files
kept only the load_config stubs. Re-applied the pairing at every
surviving site (26 patch()/setattr sites) — same return_value/
side_effect as the adjacent load_config stub. 494 tests green across
the 11 files.
The readonly swaps mean agent/ modules now read config through
load_config_readonly(); tests that stubbed only load_config stopped
intercepting those reads. Added sibling readonly stubs (same
return_value/side_effect/lambda) at every affected site across 11 test
files, found via a tree-wide sweep of load_config stubs cross-referenced
against the swapped modules. 3,915 tests green across the 38-file
sibling sweep.
Second, deeper pass over tools/gateway/hermes_cli plus first pass over
the trees wave 1 missed (acp, acp_adapter, skills, computer_use, docker,
dashboard, conformance, monitoring, secret_sources, hermes_state,
providers). Same rubric as wave 1 (AGENTS.md test policy); security,
alternation/caching invariants, issue-number regressions, and E2E kept.
Real test-quality fixes found and rooted out along the way:
- tests/tools/test_command_guards.py made real auxiliary-LLM HTTPS calls
(DEFAULT_CONFIG smart-approval leaked in) — pinned approval
mode=manual via autouse fixture: 17.4s → 0.4s.
- test_model_switch_custom_providers.py / test_user_providers_model_switch.py
silently probed live provider catalogs (~2s/test) — stubbed
cached_provider_model_ids/provider_model_ids/fetch_api_models.
- test_telegram_noise_filter.py: 15-platform copy-paste matrix over
shared gateway.run logic → 3 representative platforms (55s → 3.9s).
- test_gateway_shutdown.py: stop()'s 5s interrupt-deadline loop spun on
MagicMock agents — interrupt.side_effect now clears _running_agents
(22s → 1.0s).
- test_gateway_inactivity_timeout.py poll-harness timings shrunk 3-5x
(24s → 1.1s); test_mcp_stability.py backoff/SIGTERM-grace sleeps
patched (15.4s → 2.5s); test_async_delegation.py negative-drain wait
5s → 0.5s.
- test_telegram_init_deadline.py: loop-block margin restored to 1.0s
with rationale comment — the watchdog-dump assertion needs the loop
blocked well past deadline+grace under parallel load (flaked once in
the 40-worker verification run at a 0.2s margin).
Verification: full hermetic suite via scripts/run_tests.sh —
2,438 files, 21,718 tests passed, 0 failed, 293.9s wall.
Suite totals vs original baseline: 46,820 → 19,757 test functions
(−57.8%), wall 583.5s → 293.9s (−50%), subprocess CPU 13,564s → 11,623s.
gemini-2.5-flash shuts down Oct 16 2026 (Google deprecation schedule)
and gemini-3-flash-preview is superseded. Update every hardcoded
default to the current GA flash model:
- gemini_native_adapter: probe_gemini_tier + _create_chat_completion
default params; free-tier guidance de-pinned from a specific model's
RPD number so it doesn't stale again
- auxiliary_client: gemini/kilocode fallback aux models,
_OPENROUTER_MODEL, _NOUS_MODEL -> google/gemini-3.6-flash
(verified live on both OpenRouter and Nous portal /models)
- provider plugins: kilocode + vertex default_aux_model
- hindsight memory plugin: gemini provider default
- setup wizard gemini list: 3-flash-preview -> 3.6-flash (matches the
curated picker catalog)
- tests: aux-client assertions that pinned the old default literal now
reference the _NOUS_MODEL constant, so the next default bump can't
break them (change-detector cleanup)
Fixes#32360.
Widen okalentiev's failed_model narrowing (#59561) to
_try_main_agent_model_fallback. The safety-net layer still skipped on a
provider-label match alone, so single-provider users whose aux compression
model and main model share one custom endpoint had ZERO fallbacks: the aux
model timing out exhausted the chain in one hop and compression aborted.
Real incident (0.19.0 debug dump): aux zai-org/glm-5.2 hung 324s and timed
out while main mindai/macaron-v1-venti on the SAME endpoint was serving
448K-token turns — the label-only skip discarded the one viable summarizer,
the session wedged over threshold, and the anti-thrash breaker tripped.
Same convention as the chain fix: model-specific failures (timeout,
connection, rate limit) pass failed_model so only the exact failed model is
skipped; provider-wide failures (auth 401 / payment 402) pass None and keep
the whole-provider skip. Both sync and async call_llm sites pass it.
Sabotage-verified: the new regression test fails on the provider-only skip.
Follow-up to the same-provider fallback fix: narrowing the configured-chain
skip to the exact failed model is only correct for model-specific failures.
Auth (401) and payment (402) errors are provider-wide — every model on the
provider shares the same broken credentials/account — so trying a sibling
model can't recover and merely burns another doomed request before the
aux task fails. Worse, returning that sibling client bypasses the
main-agent-model safety net that a provider-wide skip would have reached.
Only forward failed_model to _try_configured_fallback_chain for
model-specific failures (timeout, connection, rate limit, model-incompatible,
invalid response). Auth/payment keep failed_model=None (whole-provider skip),
preserving the pre-existing safety-net behaviour for credential/billing
failures.
Adds an integration test that a timeout forwards the failed model, and
updates the payment-error test to assert failed_model=None.

_try_configured_fallback_chain skipped every fallback_chain entry whose
provider matched the one that just failed. A chain that intentionally lists
several models under the same provider (e.g. two more NVIDIA NIM models
after the primary NIM model times out) was therefore skipped wholesale,
falling straight through to the main-agent-model safety net instead of
trying the other configured models on that provider.
Add failed_model so the skip narrows to the exact (provider, model) pair
that failed. Callers that only know the provider (client-build failures,
where the whole provider is unreachable regardless of model) keep the old
provider-wide skip; the two runtime request-error call sites (call_llm,
async_call_llm) now pass the model that just failed.

The gateway's pre-agent session-hygiene compression killed the summary
call at a fixed 30s wall-clock deadline (compression.hygiene_timeout_seconds),
regardless of whether the summary model was hung or merely slow. A reasoning
model happily streaming a large summary was cut off mid-generation, the user
got '⚠️ Context compression timed out after 30.0s', and a 300s failure
cooldown left the session oversized — a doom loop for slow-but-healthy
auxiliary models.
Timeouts are now liveness-based instead of wall-clock-based:
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: new thread-local aux_progress_hook. When
installed (only by context compression today), the primary call_llm
attempt streams (stream=True) and aggregates chunks back into a complete
response, ticking the hook per chunk. The configured timeout then acts
per stream read (idle) instead of as a total budget. Providers that
reject streaming fall back to the plain non-streaming call; auth/payment/
rate-limit/transport errors propagate unchanged into the existing
recovery chains. Codex Responses (per SSE event) and Anthropic Messages
(per stream event, via the new create_anthropic_message on_stream_event
callback) tick the same hook from inside their wire adapters.
- agent/conversation_compression.py: CompressionCommitFence gains
touch_progress()/seconds_since_progress(); compress_context() installs
fence.touch_progress as the progress hook around the compress call.
- gateway/run.py: the hygiene wait loop treats hygiene_timeout_seconds as
an INACTIVITY budget — while the fence reports fresh progress the wait
extends, bounded by the new compression.hygiene_total_ceiling_seconds
(default 600s, clamped >= the idle budget) so a degenerate trickle
stream still dies. The timeout warning now says the summary model
produced no output, which is the only case that still triggers it.
- config/docs: hygiene_total_ceiling_seconds added to DEFAULT_CONFIG and
configuration.md; hygiene_timeout_seconds documented as inactivity-based.
Tests: tests/agent/test_aux_progress_streaming.py (hook plumbing, stream
aggregation incl. tool-call deltas and reasoning deltas, rejection
fallback, ceiling kill, fence progress surface); two new gateway tests
prove a slow-but-streaming worker survives past the fixed timeout
(sabotage-verified: fails with the old fixed deadline) and a
forever-trickling worker is still cut off at the ceiling.
