- Widen opencode_zen_free_runtime healing to the union of the static floor,
the in-process live memo, and the SWR disk cache — a newly-live free model
now heals opencode-go/zen selections without a release (sibling site the
original PR missed).
- Memoize _fetch_opencode_free_models() in-process (5 min, negative caching
included) so direct provider_model_ids() validation callers don't each
block on a network round-trip or timeout.
- Drop delisted x-preview-f-free from the offline floor and setup.py sample
list (offline fallback must not offer a model that 401s); add the newly
live deepseek-v4-flash-free / mimo-v2.5-free to setup.py.
- Update stale test fixtures to a live exemplar; add regression tests for
memoization, negative caching, and union healing; docs note in providers.md.
First actioned report from the overhauled model-catalog-scout cron
(2026-08-21 validation run), every item re-verified live before edit:
Delisted (gone from live catalogs):
- opencode-zen curated: claude-opus-4-1, qwen3.7-max, qwen3.7-plus
(absent from live zen /v1/models; qwen3.7 family remains on Go)
- OPENROUTER_MODELS free section: poolside/laguna-m.1:free (rotated to
s-2.1/xs-2.1), tencent/hy3:free, inclusionai/ring-2.6-1t:free
Added (present + verified in live catalogs):
- OpenRouter free: z-ai/glm-5.2:free (256K), poolside/laguna-s-2.1:free
+ laguna-xs-2.1:free (262K), nvidia/nemotron-3.5-lightning:free (1M)
- opencode-go curated: ox-alpha-free (Go-subscription twin of the Zen
keyless Ox Alpha; keyed — Go relay 401s anonymous requests)
Metadata:
- DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS: laguna-s-2.1/xs-2.1 262144;
nemotron-3.5-lightning 1M (overrides the generic 131K nemotron entry);
glm-5.2:free 256K (the free variant is capped below the 1M paid entry)
Keyless-heal hardening (the real find):
- opencode_zen_free_runtime now gates the zen/go→keyless heal on
MEMBERSHIP in the verified opencode-free catalog, not the -free
suffix — ox-alpha-free is a KEYED Go model despite its suffix, and
suffix-based healing would have routed it to a Zen relay that
doesn't serve it (verified: zen 401s 'not supported', go 401s
'Missing API key'). New regression test pins this.
Fixture sweep: tencent/hy3:free catalog assertion updated (delisted
slug); nous-route fixtures using hy3:free as incidental model names
left alone (self-consistent mocks). model-catalog.json regenerated.
A keyless provider has no credential to lack, but every auth-gated
surface treated 'no key' as 'not authenticated', so opencode-free was
invisible in /model, provider:model listing, and the desktop model
pickers unless a user had unrelated OpenCode env vars set.
One policy, three gates, all derived from the HermesOverlay keyless
flag (#91358):
- auth.py get_api_key_provider_status: keyless providers report
configured/logged_in=True with key_source 'keyless' — flows through
get_auth_status to every status consumer (hermes status, dashboards,
list_available_providers).
- model_switch.py list_authenticated_providers: keyless overlay rows
get has_creds=True before any env/pool/auth-store checks — this is
the source for /model, the TUI picker, and the desktop
/api/model/options payload.
- inventory.py explicit-only filter (desktop chat pickers): keyless
providers are kept — there is nothing to 'explicitly configure', and
hiding a zero-setup provider defeats its purpose.
E2E (temp HERMES_HOME, all keys stripped): get_auth_status logged_in,
list_available_providers authenticated, picker row with 6 models,
desktop payload default AND explicit_only both include the provider,
and the full switch pipeline (parse free:x-preview-f-free →
switch_model) resolves to the keyless runtime. 4 new tests.
The Zen relay serves *-free models (x-preview-f-free / Ox Alpha) ONLY
anonymously: any Authorization bearer it doesn't recognize is a 401
'Invalid API key' — including our no-key-required placeholder and valid
OpenCode GO subscription keys. The Go relay doesn't serve the free tier
at all ('Model x is not supported'). So the free model failed for every
Hermes user: keyless setups got the placeholder bearer, and OpenCode
subscribers sent a Go key to a relay that rejects it.
Fix (class-wide for all 8 current *-free Zen slugs, not just Ox Alpha):
- hermes_cli/models.py: is_opencode_zen_free_model / opencode_zen_free_runtime
/ opencode_zen_free_headers — one shared policy: free slugs pin to the
Zen relay with a keyless placeholder and an empty Authorization header
that overrides the OpenAI SDK's 'Bearer <key>'.
- runtime_provider.py: free slugs route through the keyless runtime before
the credential-pool/explicit/api_key paths (no key required; Go
selections heal to Zen). Paid models still fail closed without a key.
- agent_init.py + auxiliary_client.py: the placeholder key swaps in the
empty-Authorization headers at both client-build chokepoints.
Verified live (2026-08-21): anonymous chat/completions 200 incl. tools,
streaming, parallel; bad bearer 401; full E2E AIAgent turn with a real
terminal tool round-trip completes keyless under both opencode-zen and
opencode-go providers. Sabotage run: routing tests fail without the fix.
