Summary

Changes the auxiliary-client auto policy so every user — including aggregator users (OpenRouter, Nous Portal) — gets their main chat model for side tasks (compression, vision, web extraction, session search, approval, MCP, title generation, flush memories, skills hub) by default.

Follow-up to #11891 (which added the UI to configure these per-task).

Before

Main provider = OpenRouter, Main model = anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6
  → Context compression runs on google/gemini-3-flash-preview (provider default)
  → Vision runs on google/gemini-3-flash-preview
  → Session search, title gen, etc. run on gemini-flash

Main provider = DeepSeek, Main model = deepseek-chat
  → All aux tasks run on deepseek-chat (non-aggregator path already did this)

Behavior was inconsistent and surprising — users picked Claude / GPT / their preferred model, but side tasks silently ran on Gemini Flash.

After

Every user's main provider + main model is the primary aux backend.
Fallback chain (OpenRouter → Nous → custom → Codex → API-key providers)
runs ONLY when the main provider has no working client.
Explicit per-task overrides in config.yaml still win.

Changes

  • agent/auxiliary_client.py
    • _resolve_auto(): dropped the main_provider not in _AGGREGATOR_PROVIDERS guard. All users take Step 1 now.
    • resolve_vision_provider_client() auto path: unified aggregator + exotic provider branches. Everyone goes through resolve_provider_client(main_provider, main_model), with _PROVIDER_VISION_MODELS overrides preserved for xiaomi (mimo-v2-omni), zai (glm-5v-turbo).
    • Removed dead _AGGREGATOR_PROVIDERS constant (its only use was the guard we just removed).
    • Updated docstrings.
  • hermes_cli/main.py
    • Aux-config menu header copy updated to reflect new semantics: "'auto' means 'use my main model' — Hermes only falls back to a lightweight backend if the main model is unavailable."
  • tests/agent/test_auxiliary_main_first.py — 12 regression tests:
    • OpenRouter main → aux uses main model (not Gemini Flash)
    • Nous main → aux uses main model (not free-tier MiMo)
    • DeepSeek main → unchanged (sanity check)
    • Runtime kwarg override wins over config
    • Main unavailable → chain activates
    • Vision: OpenRouter/Nous main → main model used
    • Vision: _PROVIDER_VISION_MODELS override (xiaomi → mimo-v2-omni) preserved
    • Vision: explicit config override still bypasses auto path
    • Constant-removal guard

Cost note

This increases cost for aggregator users who had cheap aux tasks before. Context compression and session search are the biggest items. Any user who wants the old cheap-aux behavior can pin specific tasks to a cheap model via hermes model → Configure auxiliary models... (PR #11891).

Validation

Result
tests/agent/test_auxiliary_main_first.py (new) 12 / 12 pass
tests/agent/test_auxiliary_client.py (regression) all pass
tests/agent/test_auxiliary_named_custom_providers.py all pass
tests/agent/test_vision_resolved_args.py all pass
tests/agent/test_title_generator.py + compress_focus + compressor_fallback_update all pass
tests/hermes_cli/test_aux_config.py (#11891 UI) all pass
Live PTY smoke — new menu copy renders OK
119 targeted tests total 119 / 119 pass

Pre-existing failures on main (subagent_progress, model_validation, cmd_update) are inherited — not caused by this PR.

Before: aggregator users (OpenRouter / Nous Portal) running 'auto'
routing for auxiliary tasks — compression, vision, web extraction,
session search, etc. — got routed to a cheap provider-side default
model (Gemini Flash).  Non-aggregator users already got their main
model.  Behavior was inconsistent and surprising — users picked
Claude / GPT / their preferred model, but side tasks ran on
Gemini Flash.

After: 'auto' means "use my main chat model" for every user,
regardless of provider type.  Only when the main provider has no
working client does the fallback chain run (OpenRouter → Nous →
custom → Codex → API-key providers).  Explicit per-task overrides
in config.yaml (auxiliary.<task>.provider / .model) still win —
they are a hard constraint, not subject to the auto policy.

Vision auto-detection follows the same policy: try main provider +
main model first (with _PROVIDER_VISION_MODELS overrides preserved
for providers like xiaomi and zai that ship a dedicated multimodal
model distinct from their chat model).  Aggregator strict vision
backends are fallbacks, not the primary path.

Changes:
  - agent/auxiliary_client.py: _resolve_auto() drops the
    `_AGGREGATOR_PROVIDERS` guard.  resolve_vision_provider_client()
    auto branch unifies aggregator and exotic-provider paths —
    everyone goes through resolve_provider_client() with main_model.
    Dead _AGGREGATOR_PROVIDERS constant removed (was only used by
    the guard we just removed).
  - hermes_cli/main.py: aux config menu copy updated to reflect
    the new semantics ("'auto' means 'use my main model'").
  - tests/agent/test_auxiliary_main_first.py: 12 regression tests
    covering OpenRouter/Nous/DeepSeek main paths, runtime-override
    wins, explicit-config wins, vision override preservation for
    exotic providers, and fallback-chain activation when the main
    provider has no working client.

…apping dedicated vision models

When main_provider is an aggregator (e.g. "nous") that wraps models from
a different manufacturer (e.g. "xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro"), the vision auto-routing
lookup _PROVIDER_VISION_MODELS.get(main_provider, ...) fails because the dict
keys are model-level providers ("xiaomi", "zai"), not API providers ("nous").

This causes vision tasks to fall back to the main chat model (mimo-v2-pro)
which does not support vision, breaking image recognition for all Nous Portal
users on "auto" vision routing.

Fix: extract the model provider prefix (e.g. "xiaomi" from "xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro")
and look up _PROVIDER_VISION_MODELS by that first, before falling back to the
API provider name.

Reproduction:
- config.yaml: model.provider=nous, model.default=xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro
- config.yaml: auxiliary.vision.provider=auto
- Expected: vision uses xiaomi/mimo-v2-omni (via _PROVIDER_VISION_MODELS)
- Actual (before fix): vision uses xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro (not vision-capable)

…ers (#17727)

Covers ~60 merged PRs from Apr 15–29 that shipped user-visible behavior
without docs coverage. No functional code changes; docs + static manifest
regeneration only.

Highlights:

Stale / incorrect:
- configuration.md: auxiliary auto-routing line was wrong since #11900;
  now correctly states auto routes to the main model, with a note on the
  cost trade-off and per-task override pattern.
- integrations/providers.md + configuration.md compression intro:
  removed stale 'Gemini Flash via OpenRouter' claim.
- website/static/api/model-catalog.json: rebuilt from hermes_cli/models.py
  so the live manifest picks up tencent/hy3-preview (and remains in sync
  for future model-catalog PRs).

  snapshot behavior.
- 'hermes gateway start/restart --all' multi-profile flag.
- cron.md: 'hermes tools' as a platform, per-job enabled_toolsets,
  wakeAgent gate, context_from chaining.

Covers ~60 merged PRs from Apr 15–29 that shipped user-visible behavior
without docs coverage. No functional code changes; docs + static manifest
regeneration only.

Highlights:

Stale / incorrect:
- configuration.md: auxiliary auto-routing line was wrong since NousResearch#11900;
  now correctly states auto routes to the main model, with a note on the
  cost trade-off and per-task override pattern.
- integrations/providers.md + configuration.md compression intro:
  removed stale 'Gemini Flash via OpenRouter' claim.
- website/static/api/model-catalog.json: rebuilt from hermes_cli/models.py
  so the live manifest picks up tencent/hy3-preview (and remains in sync
  for future model-catalog PRs).

…ousResearch#11900)

Before: aggregator users (OpenRouter / Nous Portal) running 'auto'
routing for auxiliary tasks — compression, vision, web extraction,
session search, etc. — got routed to a cheap provider-side default
model (Gemini Flash).  Non-aggregator users already got their main
model.  Behavior was inconsistent and surprising — users picked
Claude / GPT / their preferred model, but side tasks ran on
Gemini Flash.

After: 'auto' means "use my main chat model" for every user,
regardless of provider type.  Only when the main provider has no
working client does the fallback chain run (OpenRouter → Nous →
custom → Codex → API-key providers).  Explicit per-task overrides
in config.yaml (auxiliary.<task>.provider / .model) still win —
they are a hard constraint, not subject to the auto policy.

Vision auto-detection follows the same policy: try main provider +
main model first (with _PROVIDER_VISION_MODELS overrides preserved
for providers like xiaomi and zai that ship a dedicated multimodal
model distinct from their chat model).  Aggregator strict vision
backends are fallbacks, not the primary path.

Changes:
  - agent/auxiliary_client.py: _resolve_auto() drops the
    `_AGGREGATOR_PROVIDERS` guard.  resolve_vision_provider_client()
    auto branch unifies aggregator and exotic-provider paths —
    everyone goes through resolve_provider_client() with main_model.
    Dead _AGGREGATOR_PROVIDERS constant removed (was only used by
    the guard we just removed).
  - hermes_cli/main.py: aux config menu copy updated to reflect
    the new semantics ("'auto' means 'use my main model'").
  - tests/agent/test_auxiliary_main_first.py: 12 regression tests
    covering OpenRouter/Nous/DeepSeek main paths, runtime-override
    wins, explicit-config wins, vision override preservation for
    exotic providers, and fallback-chain activation when the main
    provider has no working client.
