No model, base_url, or provider is assumed when the user hasn't
configured one. Previously the defaults dict in cli.py, AIAgent
constructor args, and several fallback paths all hardcoded
anthropic/claude-opus-4.6 + openrouter.ai/api/v1 — silently routing
unconfigured users to OpenRouter, which 404s for anyone using a
different provider.
Now empty defaults force the setup wizard to run, and existing users
who already completed setup are unaffected (their config.yaml has
the model they chose).
Files changed:
- cli.py: defaults dict, _DEFAULT_CONFIG_MODEL
- run_agent.py: AIAgent.__init__ defaults, main() defaults
- hermes_cli/config.py: DEFAULT_CONFIG
- hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py: is_fallback sentinel
- acp_adapter/session.py: default_model
- tests: updated to reflect empty defaults
The Codex model normalization was rejecting any model without 'codex'
in its name, forcing a fallback to gpt-5.3-codex. This blocked models
like gpt-5.4 that the Codex API actually supports.
The fix simplifies _normalize_model_for_provider() to two operations:
1. Strip provider prefixes (API needs bare slugs)
2. Replace the *untouched default* model with a Codex-compatible one
If the user explicitly chose a model — any model — we trust them and
let the API be the judge. No allowlists, no slug checks.
Also removes the 'codex not in slug' filter from _read_cache_models()
so the local cache preserves all API-available models.
Inspired by OpenClaw's approach which explicitly lists non-codex models
(gpt-5.4, gpt-5.2) as valid Codex models.
Verifies that setup.py imports the correct function name
(get_codex_model_ids) from codex_models.py. This would have caught
the ImportError bug before it reached users.
