* fix(model-picker): serve cached custom-provider catalog on no-probe opens
#58183 stopped GUI picker opens from live-probing saved custom
OpenAI-compatible endpoints so a stopped local server could not stall the
picker. It gated the whole discovery block, not just the network call, so
`cached_fetch_api_models()` was skipped too — and with it the catalog an
earlier probe had already written to `provider_models_cache.json`.
A custom endpoint that is not the current provider therefore renders only
the models named in its config entry. A local server with 8 models loaded
shows the 1 model that was saved when the provider was first added, on
every picker open, while an explicit Refresh shows all 8.
Add `cache_only` to `cached_fetch_api_models()`: answer from disk within
the existing stale-serve window, never fetch, never revalidate off-thread,
return None on a miss. Split the three call sites in
`list_authenticated_providers()` into what the user's config permits
(`discover_models`, an explicit `models:` allowlist) and how we may obtain
it, so suppressing the probe now downgrades to a cached read instead of
skipping discovery outright. `discover_models: false` still pins, and a
cache hit no longer writes back to config since the probe that populated
it already did.
The latency win stands: a cold cache is a miss, so picker opens against
offline endpoints still make zero network calls.
* test(model-picker): pin the cached-catalog contract for no-probe opens
Cover both halves of the invariant, since fixing either one alone
reintroduces a bug the other guards against.
`cache_only` on `cached_fetch_api_models()`: a fresh entry and an entry
past its TTL but inside the stale-serve window both serve; an entry beyond
that window, an empty cache, rotated credentials, `force_refresh`, and a
missing base_url are all misses — and none of them fetch or spawn a
background revalidation.
`list_authenticated_providers()` on the GUI path: a non-current endpoint
with a warm cache reports its full catalog across all three provider
shapes (`custom_providers`, `providers:`, bare `provider: custom`) with no
live fetch attempted. A cold cache keeps the configured list and still
makes no network call, which is the #58183 guarantee. `discover_models:
false` keeps pinning, and a cache hit does not write back to config.
* fix: persist discovered custom-provider models in the hermes model flow
The `hermes model` named-custom-provider flow (_model_flow_named_custom)
probes the endpoint and shows the full catalog, but never persists it to the
entry's `models:` list. No-probe surfaces (dashboard, desktop, ACP) call
build_models_payload(..., probe_custom_providers=False) and only render the
configured `models:` list, so a provider added via `hermes model` collapses
to the single `model:` default everywhere except the CLI. OpenAI-compatible
providers added via a probing picker already benefit from
_save_discovered_models_to_config; the CLI flow did not.
Persist the live catalog after a successful probe, mirroring the picker path
in model_switch.py. A failed save is non-fatal.
* fix(model-picker): stop an auto-saved catalog pinning a keyless endpoint
The cached-catalog read added for no-probe picker opens still sat behind
the no-key discovery gate, so it never reached the shape that motivated
it: a keyless local model server.
`bool(api_key) or not has_explicit_models` is a network-cost gate. It
exists so Hermes does not probe an endpoint it cannot authenticate to
when that endpoint already declares its catalog (5f00f36ba, 1039e90b5).
Reading a catalog an earlier probe already paid for costs nothing, so
the gate belongs on the probe, not on discovery as a whole.
Left on the discovery side it re-pins the endpoint it was meant to
spare. A successful probe calls `_save_discovered_models_to_config()`,
which writes a plain list into `models:` — exactly the shape
`_models_config_is_allowlist()` reads back as an explicit user
allowlist. A keyless server therefore froze on the catalog of its first
probe and could never widen again, which is the "lineup changes after
config was written" case. f66319097 already carved the dict shape out of
this trap for the same reason; the list shape is the other door into it.
Move the clause to `_probe_live` at both custom-endpoint sites. Probe
suppression is unchanged — verified byte-identical to main across the
keyed/keyless x declared/undeclared matrix — and `discover_models: false`
remains the documented way to pin a catalog.
* test(model-picker): cover the keyless auto-save pinning trap
Three tests around the gate move, each failing on the code before it:
- a keyless endpoint carrying an auto-saved `models:` list still reads
its full cached catalog
- the same row, cold cache and probing enabled, still makes zero live
fetches — the network-cost gate the clause exists for
- an end-to-end round trip: persist a probe result via
`_save_discovered_models_to_config()`, reload it, and assert the shape
we wrote does not read back as a user pin
The round-trip test guards the whole chain rather than one branch, so a
future change that makes the saved shape look like an intentional
allowlist fails here even if the gate logic is refactored.
* fix(model-picker): key the custom-endpoint model cache by api_mode
`cached_fetch_api_models()` fingerprints entries with `api_mode`, but no
call site in `list_authenticated_providers()` passed it, so every custom
row resolved to the `api_mode=None` fingerprint. Two rows sharing a
base_url and credential but differing by `api_mode` are deliberately
distinct picker rows — it is part of `group_key` at both sites — yet they
collapsed onto one cache entry.
That was latent while probing was the only way to fill a row: a mismatched
entry was overwritten by the row's own live fetch. Serving that entry
without a probe makes it visible, so an `anthropic_messages` row could
render the catalog an OpenAI-mode row cached against the same URL. The
wire protocols differ (`x-api-key` + `anthropic-version` vs
`Authorization: Bearer`), so those catalogs are not interchangeable.
Persist `api_mode` on the group at both grouping sites — it is already
part of `group_key`, so it is constant across the group — and pass it
into the cache read. Section 3b (bare `provider: custom`) has no
`api_mode` in scope and already reads with the empty-credential
fingerprint, so it is unchanged.
