Correctness
- The welcome-tier recovery hooks (model_not_free move, wrong-host heal) and
the long-wait rate-limit check read the turn's extract_api_error_context()
dict, which never carries welcome_refusal / welcome_route. They now read
classified.error_context, where _nous_welcome_tier parks them; the guard
records the classifier's reset_at. Tests drive the real classifier and the
real extractor so the two-context boundary is exercised.
- The connector path caught every AnonCredentialDead and re-minted; a locked
account (anon_account_locked) is now retired without replacement, matching
the inference resolver.
- A background bootstrap retry reused the boot-time provider inventory; it
re-inventories, so a provider connected during the cooldown keeps
inference.
- The desktop's setup.ready listener only refreshes an untouched picker
(oauth mode, no local endpoint, idle flow) and re-checks after the
readiness round, so an API-key form opened meanwhile is never dismissed.
- /__log on the rehearsal server sent its response while holding the state
lock that _send re-acquires; the log is copied out first.
Reductions
- One shared FakePortal / install_portal (tests/hermes_cli/anon_portal.py)
behind both free-tier fixtures, with a single httpx.Client transport seam.
- The rehearsal server's static inference answers are a table; dead
scaffolding (REAL_PAID_URL, claim_codes, the no-op dead_once branch,
extra_headers) removed.
- Setup-notice copy is a code-to-key map; its test uses real codes (the old
loop built nonexistent ones and only exercised the fallback).
- The ineffective FreeTierErrorCode union is gone.
