Summary

Curator is now a first-class auxiliary task slot — auxiliary.curator.{provider,model,base_url,api_key,timeout,extra_body} — so hermes model → auxiliary picker, the dashboard Models tab, and every other aux-model knob all configure it like Vision / Compression / Session Search do. Previously curator used a one-off curator.auxiliary.{provider,model} key that was advertised in docs but never actually read by the resolver.

Reported by Voscko on Discord.

Why unify (not just fix the one-off key)

The narrow fix would make the old key work, but curator would stay a parallel system — no CLI picker, no dashboard tab, no per-task timeout / base_url / api_key / extra_body. The aux-task system already has all that wiring and every other side-task uses it. Adding curator as the 9th slot gives Voscko the cheap aux model he asked for, plus everyone else gets hermes model → Curator and the Models tab entry for free.

Changes

Four sources of truth updated (same pattern as the other 8 aux tasks):

  • hermes_cli/config.py — add curator slot to DEFAULT_CONFIG['auxiliary'] (timeout=600 since reviews run long); drop the one-off curator.auxiliary block from DEFAULT_CONFIG['curator'].
  • hermes_cli/main.py — add ('curator', 'Curator', 'skill-usage review pass') to _AUX_TASKS (CLI picker).
  • hermes_cli/web_server.py — add 'curator' to _AUX_TASK_SLOTS (dashboard REST allowlist).
  • web/src/pages/ModelsPage.tsx — add Curator entry to AUX_TASKS (dashboard UI).

Plus resolver + docs:

  • agent/curator.py _resolve_review_model(cfg) — precedence: auxiliary.curator (canonical) → legacy curator.auxiliary with a deprecation info log → main chat model. Pre-unification users keep working without a config migration.
  • website/docs/user-guide/features/curator.md — rewritten Configuration section points users at hermes model → auxiliary → Curator and the dashboard Models tab. Legacy key noted with a migration hint.

Validation

Scenario Before After
No override Main model ✓ Main model ✓
auxiliary.curator.{provider,model} set via hermes model — (didn't exist) Uses that pair ✓
Dashboard Models tab → Curator row — (didn't render) Picks provider + model ✓
Old curator.auxiliary config Silently ignored ✗ Honored + deprecation log ✓
Both new + legacy keys set Canonical wins ✓
Half-configured override 400 / empty-side Falls back to main ✓

Tests: scripts/run_tests.sh tests/agent/test_curator.py tests/agent/test_curator_reports.py tests/hermes_cli/test_aux_config.py tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py → 188/188 passed.

E2E (isolated HERMES_HOME with auxiliary.curator set in config.yaml): _resolve_task_provider_model(task='curator') returns the configured pair; _resolve_review_model() returns the same; the canonical auxiliary_client resolution chain handles it. Legacy config path also verified end-to-end.

Voscko reported curator.auxiliary.provider/model was advertised in the
docs but ignored — the review fork read only model.provider/default. The
narrow fix would wire the one-off key through, but that leaves curator
as a parallel system: not in `hermes model` → auxiliary picker, not in
the dashboard Models tab, missing per-task base_url/api_key/timeout/
extra_body.

Unify curator with the rest of the aux task system so `hermes model`
and the dashboard configure it like every other aux task.

Four sources of truth updated:
- hermes_cli/config.py — add 'curator' slot to DEFAULT_CONFIG.auxiliary
  (timeout=600 since reviews run long), drop the one-off curator.auxiliary
  block from DEFAULT_CONFIG.curator.
- hermes_cli/main.py — add ('curator', 'Curator', 'skill-usage review pass')
  to _AUX_TASKS so the CLI picker offers it.
- hermes_cli/web_server.py — add 'curator' to _AUX_TASK_SLOTS so the
  dashboard REST endpoint accepts it.
- web/src/pages/ModelsPage.tsx — add Curator entry so the dashboard
  Models tab renders the task.

agent/curator.py _resolve_review_model() now reads auxiliary.curator
first (canonical), falls back to legacy curator.auxiliary (with an info
log asking users to migrate), then falls back to the main chat model.
Pre-unification users keep working.

Docs updated: docs/user-guide/features/curator.md now points at
`hermes model` → auxiliary → Curator and the dashboard Models tab.

Tests: 6 unit tests on _resolve_review_model (auto default, canonical
slot honored, partial override fallback, legacy fallback with
deprecation log assertion, new-wins-over-legacy, empty-config safety)
plus a cross-registry test that curator is wired into all four sources
of truth. test_aux_tasks_keys_all_exist_in_default_config already
covers the DEFAULT_CONFIG ↔ _AUX_TASKS invariant.
