- hermes_cli/providers.host_mandated_api_mode: add exact-hostname clause for
api.meta.ai → codex_responses (measured 0% cache on /chat/completions vs
93-99% on /responses with retention); update docstring.
- hermes_cli/runtime_provider._detect_api_mode_for_url: mirror clause for
api.meta.ai (exact hostname, #32243) to keep runtime resolver in lockstep.
- agent/agent_init: call host_mandated_api_mode early in api_mode cascade
(after explicit api_mode wins, before provider-name specials) via lazy
import; single source of truth, preserves user override.
- agent/transports/codex._default_prompt_cache_retention_for_request: return
24h for api.meta.ai unconditionally; build_kwargs setdefault preserves
override; Bedrock branch untouched.
- cli-config.yaml.example: add commented providers.meta example (api_mode
auto-detected).
- website/docs/developer-guide/adding-providers.md: list Meta alongside
Codex/xAI as codex_responses native provider with retention note.
- tests: add hermetic behavior-contract suites for mandate, retention,
content-addressed prompt_cache_key, reasoning passthrough, AIAgent init,
usage cache reporting, model-switch override, and config roundtrip; extend
test_model_switch_openai_api_mode with meta cases.
