Teknium a5bd246865 Old pre-decomposition import paths are gone: plugin compat layer removed on schedule (#126164)
* refactor(plugins): remove the Sep 2026 decomposition compat layer on schedule

The PLUGIN-COMPAT layer (2776813df3 + d63e380324 + 0a5164cebe) kept pre-#102117 import paths
alive for external plugins until 2026-09-14. That window closed two weeks ago; since then the loader
has already been skipping plugins that use the old paths. This removes the layer itself:

- 328 appended `PLUGIN-COMPAT` blocks (lazy `__getattr__` pointer tables, re-exported third-party
  names, restored dead definitions) and the three re-export stub modules
  (gateway/startup_watchdog, hermes_cli/observability/relay_runtime, tools/environments/modal_utils)
- COMPAT_MANIFEST.md, compat_manifest.json, scripts/check_compat_pointers.py and its lint step
- the reporting surfaces: CLI banner notice, `hermes plugins compat`, the `hermes doctor` section,
  the post-update notice, the Desktop one-time dialog, the loader's pre-import skip and the
  `plugins.allow_deprecated_imports` escape hatch

An external plugin that still imports an old path now fails to load with its ImportError as the
reason in `hermes plugins list`, the same path as any broken plugin.

hermes_cli/plugin_compat.py stays as three inert stubs (compat_report, removal_in_effect,
summary_lines): an already-running pre-removal `hermes update` lazy-imports them after the checkout
swap (tests/compat/old_updater_surface.json).

In-tree fallout, both already dead: hermes_cli/setup.py::_check_espeak_ng (no callers; its
`shutil` came from a compat block) and gateway/config.py::SessionResetPolicy ("retained solely for
the scheduled plugin-compat window"). Two test_run_agent patches targeted the removed
`run_agent.handle_function_call` pointer; they now patch `model_tools.handle_function_call`, the
seam production reads, like every sibling test in that file.

* chore: retrigger CI (zero-job startup_failure phantom)

* test: drop resolution allowlist rows for the two deleted which() sites

hermes_cli/setup.py::_check_espeak_ng (dead) and tools/skillevaluator_scan.py::scanner_available
(a restored definition inside a PLUGIN-COMPAT block) no longer exist; the stale-row gate requires
their allowlist entries go with them.

providers/

Registry and ABC for every inference provider Hermes knows about.

Each provider is declared once as a ProviderProfile. Every other layer — auth resolution, transport kwargs, model listing, runtime routing — reads from these profiles instead of maintaining its own parallel data.


Layout

providers/
├── base.py         ProviderProfile dataclass + OMIT_TEMPERATURE sentinel
├── __init__.py     Registry: register_provider(), get_provider_profile(), list_providers()
└── README.md       This file

The profiles themselves live as plugins under plugins/model-providers/<name>/ (bundled in this repo) and $HERMES_HOME/plugins/model-providers/<name>/ (per-user overrides). The registry in providers/__init__.py lazily discovers them the first time any consumer calls get_provider_profile() or list_providers(). See plugins/model-providers/README.md for the plugin contract and examples.


How it wires in

The registry is populated on first access. After that, every downstream layer reads from it:

  • hermes_cli/auth.py extends PROVIDER_REGISTRY with every api-key profile it sees (skipping copilot, kimi-coding, kimi-coding-cn, zai, openrouter, custom — those need bespoke token resolution).
  • hermes_cli/models.py extends CANONICAL_PROVIDERS and calls profile.fetch_models() inside provider_model_ids().
  • hermes_cli/doctor.py adds a /models health check for each auth_type="api_key" profile.
  • hermes_cli/config.py injects every env_var into OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS so the setup wizard knows about it.
  • hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py reads profile.api_mode as a fallback when URL detection finds nothing.
  • agent/model_metadata.py maps hostname → provider via profile.get_hostname().
  • agent/auxiliary_client.py reads profile.default_aux_model first before falling back to the legacy hardcoded dict.
  • agent/transports/chat_completions.py::_build_kwargs_from_profile() invokes profile.prepare_messages(), profile.build_extra_body(), and profile.build_api_kwargs_extras() on every call.
  • run_agent.py passes provider_profile=<ProviderProfile> so the transport takes the profile path instead of the legacy flag path.

Adding a provider

See plugins/model-providers/README.md — drop a new directory there (or under $HERMES_HOME/plugins/model-providers/ for a private plugin).


Hooks you can override on ProviderProfile

Hook Purpose
get_hostname() URL-based detection — default derives from base_url.
prepare_messages(msgs) Provider-specific message preprocessing (Qwen normalises to list-of-parts, injects cache_control).
build_extra_body(**ctx) Provider-specific extra_body (OpenRouter provider prefs, Gemini thinking_config).
build_api_kwargs_extras(**ctx) (extra_body_additions, top_level_kwargs) — Kimi puts reasoning_effort top-level, Qwen splits enable_thinking/thinking_budget.
supported_reasoning_efforts(model) Declared per-model reasoning-effort vocabulary for gateways that 400 on unknown levels (Ramp Router reads its live catalog). None = defer to transport defaults, () = model takes no reasoning params, tuple = clamp target. Must be cache-only — called on the request hot path.
fetch_models(*, api_key) Live catalog fetch — default hits {models_url or base_url}/models with Bearer auth. Override for no-REST providers (Bedrock), OAuth catalogs (Anthropic), or public catalogs (OpenRouter).
