Add validate_config_structure() that catches common config.yaml mistakes:
- custom_providers as dict instead of list (missing '-' in YAML)
- fallback_model accidentally nested inside another section
- custom_providers entries missing required fields (name, base_url)
- Missing model section when custom_providers is configured
- Root-level keys that look like misplaced custom_providers fields
Surface these diagnostics at three levels:
1. Startup: print_config_warnings() runs at CLI and gateway module load,
so users see issues before hitting cryptic errors
2. Error time: 'Unknown provider' errors in auth.py and model_switch.py
now include config diagnostics with fix suggestions
3. Doctor: 'hermes doctor' shows a Config Structure section with all
issues and fix hints
Also adds a warning log in runtime_provider.py when custom_providers
is a dict (previously returned None silently).
Motivated by a Discord user who had malformed custom_providers YAML
and got only 'Unknown Provider' with no guidance on what was wrong.
17 new tests covering all validation paths.
Nous Research Hermes 3 & 4 models lack tool-calling capabilities and
are not suitable for agent workflows. Add a warning that fires in two
places:
- /model switch (CLI + gateway) via model_switch.py warning_message
- CLI session startup banner when the configured model contains 'hermes'
Both paths suggest switching to an agentic model (Claude, GPT, Gemini,
DeepSeek, etc.).
- Add OLLAMA_API_KEY to credential resolution chain for ollama.com endpoints
- Update requested_provider/_explicit_api_key/_explicit_base_url after /model
switch so _ensure_runtime_credentials() doesn't revert the switch
- Pass base_url/api_key from fallback config to resolve_provider_client()
- Add DirectAlias system: user-configurable model_aliases in config.yaml
checked before catalog resolution, with reverse lookup by model ID
- Add /model tab completion showing aliases with provider metadata

OpenCode Zen and Go are mixed-API-surface providers — different models
behind them use different API surfaces (GPT on Zen uses codex_responses,
Claude on Zen uses anthropic_messages, MiniMax on Go uses
anthropic_messages, GLM/Kimi on Go use chat_completions).
Changes:
- Add normalize_opencode_model_id() and opencode_model_api_mode() to
models.py for model ID normalization and API surface routing
- Add _provider_supports_explicit_api_mode() to runtime_provider.py
to prevent stale api_mode from leaking across provider switches
- Wire opencode routing into all three api_mode resolution paths:
pool entry, api_key provider, and explicit runtime
- Add api_mode field to ModelSwitchResult for propagation through the
switch pipeline
- Consolidate _PROVIDER_MODELS from main.py into models.py (single
source of truth, eliminates duplicate dict)
- Add opencode normalization to setup wizard and model picker flows
- Add opencode block to _normalize_model_for_provider in CLI
- Add opencode-zen/go fallback model lists to setup.py
Tests: 160 targeted tests pass (26 new tests covering normalization,
api_mode routing per provider/model, persistence, and setup wizard
normalization).

Phase 4 of the /model command overhaul.
Both the CLI (cli.py) and gateway (gateway/run.py) /model handlers
had ~50 lines of duplicated core logic: parsing, provider detection,
credential resolution, and model validation. This extracts that
pipeline into hermes_cli/model_switch.py.
New module exports:
- ModelSwitchResult: dataclass with all fields both handlers need
- CustomAutoResult: dataclass for bare '/model custom' results
- switch_model(): core pipeline — parse → detect → resolve → validate
- switch_to_custom_provider(): resolve endpoint + auto-detect model
The shared functions are pure (no I/O side effects). Each caller
handles its own platform-specific concerns:
- CLI: sets self.model/provider/etc, calls save_config_value(), prints
- Gateway: writes config.yaml directly, sets env vars, returns markdown
Net result: -244 lines from handlers, +234 lines in shared module.
The handlers are now ~80 lines each (down from ~150+) and can't drift
apart on core logic.
