* remove Vercel AI Gateway provider and Vercel Sandbox terminal backend Both Vercel-hosted integrations are removed end-to-end. Users on the AI Gateway should switch to OpenRouter or one of the other aggregators (Nous Portal, Kilo Code). Users on the Vercel Sandbox backend should switch to Docker, Modal, Daytona, or SSH. What's removed: - `plugins/model-providers/ai-gateway/` provider plugin - `hermes_cli/vercel_auth.py` Vercel-Sandbox auth helper - `tools/environments/vercel_sandbox.py` terminal backend - `ai-gateway` provider wiring across auth, doctor, setup, models, config, status, providers, main, web_server, model_normalize, dump - `vercel_sandbox` backend wiring across terminal_tool, file_tools, code_execution_tool, file_operations, approval, skills_tool, environments/local, credential_files, lazy_deps, prompt_builder, cli, gateway/run - `AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL` constant, `_AI_GATEWAY_HEADERS` auxiliary-client header set, run_agent base-URL header/reasoning special-cases - `[vercel]` pyproject extra and `vercel`/`vercel-workers` from uv.lock - env vars: `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`, `AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL`, `VERCEL_TOKEN`, `VERCEL_PROJECT_ID`, `VERCEL_TEAM_ID`, `VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN`, `TERMINAL_VERCEL_RUNTIME` - Tests: deletes test_ai_gateway_models.py and test_vercel_sandbox_environment.py; scrubs references across 23 surviving test files (no entire tests deleted unless they were dedicated to AI Gateway / Sandbox) - Docs: provider tables, env-var reference, setup guides, security notes, tool config, terminal-backend tables — English plus zh-Hans i18n parity - `hermes-agent` skill: provider table entry and remote-backend list What stays (intentional): - `popular-web-designs/templates/vercel.md` — CSS design reference, unrelated to Vercel-the-AI-product - `x-vercel-id` in `stream_diag.py` headers — generic Vercel CDN response header, useful diag signal on any Vercel-hosted endpoint - `vercel-labs/agent-browser` URL in browser config — lightpanda browser project, different OSS effort - `userStories.json` historical contributor entry mentioning Vercel Sandbox — archive, not active docs Validation: - 1153 tests in the 22 targeted files pass (`scripts/run_tests.sh`) - Full repo `py_compile` clean - Live import of every touched module + invariant check (no `ai-gateway` in `PROVIDER_REGISTRY`, no `_AI_GATEWAY_HEADERS`, no `vercel_sandbox` in `_REMOTE_TERMINAL_BACKENDS`) * test: convert profile-count check from change-detector to invariant The hardcoded "== 34" assertion broke when ai-gateway was removed. Per AGENTS.md change-detector-test guidance, assert the relationship (registry count >= number of plugin dirs) instead of a literal count. Counts shift when providers are added/removed; that's expected.
Model Provider Plugins
Each subdirectory is a self-contained provider profile plugin. The
directory layout mirrors plugins/platforms/:
plugins/model-providers/
├── openrouter/
│ ├── __init__.py # registers the ProviderProfile
│ └── plugin.yaml # manifest: name, kind, version, description
├── anthropic/
│ ├── __init__.py
│ └── plugin.yaml
└── ...
How discovery works
providers/__init__.py._discover_providers() scans this directory (and
$HERMES_HOME/plugins/model-providers/) the first time anything calls
get_provider_profile() or list_providers(). Each __init__.py is
imported and expected to call providers.register_provider(profile).
User plugins at $HERMES_HOME/plugins/model-providers/<name>/ override
bundled plugins of the same name — last-writer-wins in
register_provider(). Drop a file there to replace a built-in.
Adding a new provider
-
Create
plugins/model-providers/<your_provider>/__init__.py:from providers import register_provider from providers.base import ProviderProfile my_provider = ProviderProfile( name="your-provider", aliases=("alias1", "alias2"), display_name="Your Provider", description="One-line description shown in the setup picker", signup_url="https://your-provider.example.com/keys", env_vars=("YOUR_PROVIDER_API_KEY", "YOUR_PROVIDER_BASE_URL"), base_url="https://api.your-provider.example.com/v1", default_aux_model="your-cheap-model", ) register_provider(my_provider) -
Create
plugins/model-providers/<your_provider>/plugin.yaml:name: your-provider-profile kind: model-provider version: 1.0.0 description: Short sentence about the provider author: Your Name
Nothing else needs to change. auth.py, config.py, models.py,
doctor.py, model_metadata.py, runtime_provider.py, and the
chat_completions transport all auto-wire from the registry.
Non-trivial profiles
Override the ProviderProfile hooks in a subclass for per-provider
quirks — see plugins/model-providers/openrouter/__init__.py for
build_extra_body and build_api_kwargs_extras examples, and
plugins/model-providers/gemini/__init__.py for thinking_config
translation.
