Teknium 314968f5fb Port from PrimeIntellect-ai/prime-agent#1258: derive OpenRouter reasoning support and effort levels from catalog metadata
OpenRouter's /v1/models entries advertise reasoning capability
(supported_parameters + reasoning.mandatory/supported_efforts). Use that
metadata as the primary gate in _supports_reasoning_extra_body instead of
the hand-maintained vendor-prefix allowlist, which went stale one vendor at
a time (nvidia/ missing -> #75386). Also clamp the requested effort to the
nearest LOWER catalog-supported level in the OpenRouter profile so ultra/max
against a high-capped route no longer 4xxes.

Cache-only on the hot path: capabilities parse for free out of the existing
fetch_openrouter_models() payload, a background warmer covers cold starts,
and unknown models/offline catalogs fall back to the static prefix list
unchanged.

Model Provider Plugins

Each subdirectory is a self-contained provider profile plugin. The directory layout mirrors plugins/platforms/:

plugins/model-providers/
├── openrouter/
│   ├── __init__.py      # registers the ProviderProfile
│   └── plugin.yaml      # manifest: name, kind, version, description
├── anthropic/
│   ├── __init__.py
│   └── plugin.yaml
└── ...

How discovery works

providers/__init__.py._discover_providers() scans this directory (and $HERMES_HOME/plugins/model-providers/) the first time anything calls get_provider_profile() or list_providers(). Each __init__.py is imported and expected to call providers.register_provider(profile).

User plugins at $HERMES_HOME/plugins/model-providers/<name>/ override bundled plugins of the same name — last-writer-wins in register_provider(). Drop a file there to replace a built-in.

Adding a new provider

  1. Create plugins/model-providers/<your_provider>/__init__.py:

    from providers import register_provider
    from providers.base import ProviderProfile
    
    my_provider = ProviderProfile(
        name="your-provider",
        aliases=("alias1", "alias2"),
        display_name="Your Provider",
        description="One-line description shown in the setup picker",
        signup_url="https://your-provider.example.com/keys",
        env_vars=("YOUR_PROVIDER_API_KEY", "YOUR_PROVIDER_BASE_URL"),
        base_url="https://api.your-provider.example.com/v1",
        default_aux_model="your-cheap-model",
    )
    
    register_provider(my_provider)
    
  2. Create plugins/model-providers/<your_provider>/plugin.yaml:

    name: your-provider-profile
    kind: model-provider
    version: 1.0.0
    description: Short sentence about the provider
    author: Your Name
    

Nothing else needs to change. auth.py, config.py, models.py, doctor.py, model_metadata.py, runtime_provider.py, and the chat_completions transport all auto-wire from the registry.

Non-trivial profiles

Override the ProviderProfile hooks in a subclass for per-provider quirks — see plugins/model-providers/openrouter/__init__.py for build_extra_body and build_api_kwargs_extras examples, and plugins/model-providers/gemini/__init__.py for thinking_config translation.
