* feat: add Vercel AI Gateway as a first-class provider
Adds AI Gateway (ai-gateway.vercel.sh) as a new inference provider
with AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY authentication, live model discovery, and
reasoning support via extra_body.reasoning.
Based on PR #1492 by jerilynzheng.
* feat: add AI Gateway to setup wizard, doctor, and fallback providers
* test: add AI Gateway to api_key_providers test suite
* feat: add AI Gateway to hermes model CLI and model metadata
Wire AI Gateway into the interactive model selection menu and add
context lengths for AI Gateway model IDs in model_metadata.py.
* feat: use claude-haiku-4.5 as AI Gateway auxiliary model
* revert: use gemini-3-flash as AI Gateway auxiliary model
* fix: move AI Gateway below established providers in selection order

Follow up on salvaged PR #1012.
Prevents raw custom-provider names from intercepting built-in provider ids,
and keeps the regression coverage focused on current-main behavior.
Two related bugs prevented users from reliably switching providers:
1. OPENAI_BASE_URL poisoning OpenRouter resolution: When a user with a
custom endpoint ran /model openrouter:model, _resolve_openrouter_runtime
picked up OPENAI_BASE_URL instead of the OpenRouter URL, causing model
validation to probe the wrong API and reject valid models.
Fix: skip OPENAI_BASE_URL when requested_provider is explicitly
'openrouter'.
2. Provider never saved to config: _save_model_choice() could save
config.model as a plain string. All five _model_flow_* functions then
checked isinstance(model, dict) before writing the provider — which
silently failed on strings. With no provider in config, auto-detection
would pick up stale credentials (e.g. Codex desktop app) instead of
the user's explicit choice.
Fix: _save_model_choice() now always saves as dict format. All flow
functions also normalize string->dict as a safety net before writing
provider.
Adds 4 regression tests. 2873 tests pass.
Add support for using Nous Portal via a direct API key, mirroring
how OpenRouter and other API-key providers work. This gives users a
simpler alternative to the OAuth device-code flow when they already
have a Nous API key.
Changes:
- Add 'nous-api' to PROVIDER_REGISTRY as an api_key provider
pointing to https://inference-api.nousresearch.com/v1
- Add NOUS_API_KEY and NOUS_BASE_URL to OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS
- Add NOUS_API_BASE_URL / NOUS_API_CHAT_URL to hermes_constants
- Add 'Nous Portal API key' as first option in setup wizard
- Add provider aliases (nous_api, nousapi, nous-portal-api)
- Add test for nous-api runtime provider resolution
Closes#644
API key selection is now base_url-aware: when the resolved base_url
targets OpenRouter, OPENROUTER_API_KEY takes priority (preserving the
#289 fix). When hitting any other endpoint (Z.ai, vLLM, custom, etc.),
OPENAI_API_KEY takes priority so the OpenRouter key doesn't leak.
Applied in both the runtime provider resolver (the real code path) and
the CLI initial default (for consistency).
Fixes#560.
When both OPENROUTER_API_KEY and OPENAI_API_KEY are set (e.g. OPENAI_API_KEY
in .bashrc), the wrong key was sent to OpenRouter causing auth failures.
Fixed key resolution order in cli.py and runtime_provider.py.
Fixes#289
