One `/model --global` produced four config.yaml shapes. CLI wrote
default/provider/base_url/api_mode and cleared the context pin on a route
change; the gateway rewrote the whole `model:` block (whole-file save_config)
and only set api_mode for `custom`; the TUI wrote three keys and never
touched api_mode, so a switch off an Anthropic-wire endpoint left a stale
`api_mode: anthropic_messages` in config; the dashboard main slot had its own
switched-provider logic, wrote `base_url: ""` and always dropped
context_length. ACP `session/set_model` and `POST /api/model/set` accepted
any model string (parse_model_input + detect_provider_for_model) so a model
no catalog knows, or a provider with no credentials, was handed to the
session / persisted and only failed at inference time.
Canonical: `hermes_cli.model_switch.model_selection_config_updates` (the
shape) + `persist_model_selection(result, config_path=None)` (targeted
per-key `atomic_roundtrip_yaml_update` writes, so sibling
`model_slots`/`model_fallback` keys survive; explicit path for the
multiplexed gateway's profile config) + `apply_model_selection` (same shape
applied to an in-memory `model:` dict for callers that save a whole
document). `atomic_roundtrip_yaml_update(value=None)` now REMOVES the key
instead of writing `key: null`, so per-key and whole-document writers land
the same file. Shape = CLI/gateway semantics: default, provider, base_url
(cleared when the target has none), api_mode (cleared when unresolved),
context_length cleared only when `should_clear_context_pin` says the route
identity changed, inline api_key/api cleared for non-custom targets.
Sites -> canonical:
hermes_cli/cli_model_switch_mixin.py::_persist_global_switch -> deleted; _commit_model_switch calls persist_model_selection
hermes_cli/cli_model_switch_mixin.py::_clear_persisted_context_for_model_switch -> deleted (folded into the shape)
gateway/slash_commands_model.py::_persist_model_switch_to_config -> to_thread forwarder: persist_model_selection(result, ctx.config_path)
tui_gateway/model_switch.py::_persist_model_switch -> deleted; _apply_model_switch calls persist_model_selection
hermes_cli/web_server_config.py::_apply_main_model_assignment -> apply_model_selection(result) (+ explicit custom api_key)
hermes_cli/web_server_config.py::_validated_main_model_selection -> NEW: switch_model(--provider) gate; rejection -> HTTP 400
hermes_cli/web_routers/{models,profiles,config_env}.py main-slot paths -> through _validated_main_model_selection
acp_adapter/server.py::_resolve_model_selection -> deleted; _switch_model calls switch_model (provider:model -> --provider), rejection -> ValueError
Behavior changes: TUI --global now writes/clears model.api_mode and clears a
route-changed context pin; gateway --global no longer rewrites the whole
model block (sibling keys survive) and clears api_mode for every target;
dashboard main slot / profile-create model / custom-endpoint activate now
reject unknown/uncredentialed/unlisted models (HTTP 400) and persist the
resolved base_url/api_mode instead of `base_url: ""`; ACP rejects the same
(ValueError surfaced by the command/protocol handler). Gateway persist runs
on a worker thread against the routed profile's config_path (multiplex-safe).
Cleared keys are removed from config.yaml rather than left as `null`. ACP
still never persists.
Kept `_normalize_main_model_assignment`: switch_model rejects a vendor name
posing as a provider (`moonshotai` -> "Unknown provider"), so the
vendor->aggregator repair is not a duplicate; E2E verified both branches.
No config migration: readers already coalesce `base_url: ""` to absent
(`_config_base_url_for_provider`) and gate api_mode on provider match
(`_provider_supports_explicit_api_mode`), so no stale-shape reader bug.
Tests: tests/hermes_cli/test_model_persist_one_shape.py (four surfaces land
one block; same-route re-pick keeps the pin), tests/acp_adapter/
test_acp_dashboard_model_switch_validation.py (rejection + explicit
provider prefix). Replaces test_acp_set_model_explicit_provider.py and the
two TUI-only persist tests; tests that intercepted the old per-surface seams
(`cli.save_config_value`, `load_config_readonly`, `tui_gateway.server.
_persist_model_switch`) now intercept the canonical seam. Each fix
sabotage-verified red.
_sync_bot_capabilities (Bot Chat capability refresh, run at every turn start) and
_reset_session_agent (/new, tools.set) swap a fresh AIAgent into a LIVE session but
called _make_agent with neither the session's state.db handle nor its HERMES_HOME.
_make_agent resolves prompt/skills/toolsets through get_hermes_home() and defaults
session_db to the process-wide LAUNCH _get_db() handle, so a named-profile session
silently migrated onto the launch profile: every later turn appended to
~/.hermes/state.db under the same session id while the desktop replayed
profiles/<name>/state.db and showed a stale transcript.
Route both rebuilds through _rebuild_session_agent, which binds the session's
profile scopes and inherits the outgoing agent's handle (same session, same file)
so no second refcount is taken and teardown still releases it exactly once.
No runtime consumer read the proxy (terminal_tool/environments call is_interrupted()/set_interrupt()
directly); its only users were tests patching tools.interrupt._interrupt_event, which had no effect on
the code under test. tools/terminal_tool.py's own re-export of the name is owned by another worker.
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.
