NOUS_API_KEY is unused — vision tools use OPENROUTER_API_KEY or Nous
Portal OAuth (auth.json), and MoA tools use OPENROUTER_API_KEY.
Removed from:
- hermes_cli/config.py: api_keys allowlist for config set routing
- .env.example: example env file entry and comment
- tests/hermes_cli/test_set_config_value.py: parametrize test data
- tests/integration/test_web_tools.py: updated comments and log
messages to reference 'auxiliary LLM provider' instead of NOUS_API_KEY
No HECATE references found in codebase (already cleaned up).
Kimi Code (platform.kimi.ai) issues API keys prefixed sk-kimi- that require:
1. A different base URL: api.kimi.com/coding/v1 (not api.moonshot.ai/v1)
2. A User-Agent header identifying a recognized coding agent
Without this fix, sk-kimi- keys fail with 401 (wrong endpoint) or 403
('only available for Coding Agents') errors.
Changes:
- Auto-detect sk-kimi- key prefix and route to api.kimi.com/coding/v1
- Send User-Agent: KimiCLI/1.0 header for Kimi Code endpoints
- Legacy Moonshot keys (api.moonshot.ai) continue to work unchanged
- KIMI_BASE_URL env var override still takes priority over auto-detection
- Updated .env.example with correct docs and all endpoint options
- Fixed doctor.py health check for Kimi Code keys

Adds 4 new direct API-key providers (zai, kimi-coding, minimax, minimax-cn)
to the inference provider system. All use standard OpenAI-compatible
chat/completions endpoints with Bearer token auth.
Core changes:
- auth.py: Extended ProviderConfig with api_key_env_vars and base_url_env_var
fields. Added providers to PROVIDER_REGISTRY. Added provider aliases
(glm, z-ai, zhipu, kimi, moonshot). Added auto-detection of API-key
providers in resolve_provider(). Added resolve_api_key_provider_credentials()
and get_api_key_provider_status() helpers.
- runtime_provider.py: Added generic API-key provider branch in
resolve_runtime_provider() — any provider with auth_type='api_key'
is automatically handled.
- main.py: Added providers to hermes model menu with generic
_model_flow_api_key_provider() flow. Updated _has_any_provider_configured()
to check all provider env vars. Updated argparse --provider choices.
- setup.py: Added providers to setup wizard with API key prompts and
curated model lists.
- config.py: Added env vars (GLM_API_KEY, KIMI_API_KEY, MINIMAX_API_KEY,
etc.) to OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS.
- status.py: Added API key display and provider status section.
- doctor.py: Added connectivity checks for each provider endpoint.
- cli.py: Updated provider docstrings.
Docs: Updated README.md, .env.example, cli-config.yaml.example,
cli-commands.md, environment-variables.md, configuration.md.
Tests: 50 new tests covering registry, aliases, resolution, auto-detection,
credential resolution, and runtime provider dispatch.
Inspired by PR #33 (numman-ali) which proposed a provider registry approach.
