- Bound ALL reads of the on-disk JWT store through one _read_jwt_store()
helper (load, eviction, save-merge) — the 1 MiB cap previously only
covered the load path; eviction and save could still parse an
oversized/corrupt store and rewrite it back out (sweeper finding).
- Fix the class, not the site: the recovery gates checked the literal
provider == "copilot" while /model and profile configs can leave the
alias spelling in place (the reporter's own log shows provider=copilot
AND provider=github-copilot in one session — the aliased turns would
have silently skipped recovery). Single owner:
AIAgent._is_copilot_provider() (slug aliases + Copilot base-URL
fallback), used by both run_agent recovery methods and both
conversation_loop gates.
- Update the salvaged 401 test to current main's client-retirement
contract (release deferred to GC — no synchronous .close()).
- Add copilot_stale_cred_retry_attempted to the TurnRetryState field
contract test; add bounded-store and alias-gate regression tests.
A follow-up sent while the model is still generating previously ended the
turn: Hermes kept only the visible partial text (reasoning was display-only),
cleared the loop, and replayed the message as a fresh next turn. If the
correction referred to something that only appeared in the thinking stream,
the model no longer had that context.
Add `AIAgent.redirect(text)`: a corrective interrupt distinct from a hard
stop. It cancels only the in-flight model request (not tool workers or child
agents), stashes the correction under a lock shared with `interrupt()` so a
concurrent `/stop` always wins, and lets the loop rebuild the same logical
iteration. `_apply_active_turn_redirect()` checkpoints the reasoning that was
actually shown to the user plus any visible partial text as an ordinary
assistant message, then appends the correction as a real user turn — never
replaying incomplete signed/encrypted provider reasoning, and keeping strict
role alternation and prompt-cache stability intact. During tool execution it
degrades to `steer()` so a running tool finishes at a safe boundary.
`_fire_reasoning_delta` now only records reasoning that a display callback
actually consumed, so `show_reasoning: false` never leaks hidden provider
thinking into the persisted transcript.
Adds Vertex AI as a first-class provider for Gemini models via Vertex's
OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Vertex authenticates with short-lived OAuth2
access tokens (service-account JSON or ADC), not a static API key — the
missing piece behind the recurring requests (#13484, #12639, #56259).
- agent/vertex_adapter.py: OAuth2 token minting + refresh-on-expiry
(5-min margin), ADC->service-account fallback, global vs regional
endpoint URLs. Config precedence: env var > config.yaml > default.
- plugins/model-providers/vertex/: provider profile (auth_type=vertex),
reuses Gemini's extra_body.google.thinking_config translation.
- runtime_provider: vertex short-circuit BEFORE the credential pool so a
credentials-file path is never mistaken for a static API key; mints a
fresh token + computes base_url per resolve.
- run_agent + conversation_loop: _try_refresh_vertex_client_credentials()
re-mints the token and rebuilds the client on a mid-session 401, so a
long-lived gateway agent survives token expiry (~1h).
- auxiliary_client: vertex auth_type branch for side-LLM tasks.
- config.yaml: vertex.project_id / vertex.region (non-secret, bridged to
env); credential path stays in .env (VERTEX_CREDENTIALS_PATH).
- setup wizard + model picker: dedicated _model_flow_vertex; curated
google/gemini-* model list; --provider choices.
- pricing/metadata: Vertex prices off the gemini docs snapshot; endpoint
host auto-maps to the vertex provider (no probe spam).
- lazy_deps + pyproject [vertex] extra: google-auth, opt-in only.
- docs: guides/google-vertex.md + providers page; tests for adapter +
runtime resolution.
Salvages and modernizes #8427 by @slawt onto current main: rewired from
the legacy PROVIDER_REGISTRY path to the provider-profile architecture,
moved non-secret config out of .env into config.yaml, and added the
per-turn 401 token-refresh the original lacked.
When a provider's output-layer safety filter (MiniMax "output new_sensitive
(1027)", Azure content_filter, etc.) kills a streaming response after deltas
were already sent, interruptible_streaming_api_call swallows the raw error
into a finish_reason=length partial-stream stub. The conversation loop then
burned 3 continuation retries against the SAME primary — re-hitting the
content-deterministic filter every time — and gave up with "Response remained
truncated after 3 continuation attempts", never consulting fallback_providers.
Builds on @595650661's classifier change (cherry-picked) so error_classifier
recognizes the filter; then:
- chat_completion_helpers: run the swallowed error through error_classifier at
the stub-creation point and stamp _content_filter_terminated on the stub
(single source of truth — no parallel pattern list).
- conversation_loop: read the tag and activate the fallback chain BEFORE
burning any continuation retries; roll partial content back to the last
clean turn and re-issue against the new provider (restart_with_rebuilt_messages).
Plain network stalls are unaffected (only content_policy_blocked is tagged).
Credits #32479 (@sweetcornna) and #33845 (@Tranquil-Flow) which fixed the
same issue via the stub-tag and loop-escalation approaches respectively.
Live E2E confirmed: before, _try_activate_fallback called 0x; after, fallback
fires on the first stub and the fallback provider completes the turn.
When the active provider returns a 401/403 that survives its per-provider
credential-refresh attempt (revoked OAuth, blocked/expired key, or an
account pinned to a dead/staging inference endpoint), the conversation
loop now escalates to the configured fallback chain instead of dead-ending.
Before: the generic failover dispatch fired only for {rate_limit, billing};
auth/auth_permanent fell through to 'switch providers manually' advice and
never called _try_activate_fallback(). A user whose primary credential was
broken kept thrashing on the same dead credential every turn — the main
agent appeared 'stuck in fallback mode' while never actually failing over.
This also affected auxiliary tasks (compression, vision, title-gen), since
auto-resolved aux follows the main provider.
After: a persistent auth failure with a configured fallback chain switches
to the next provider (mirroring the rate-limit/billing failover path),
guarded one-shot per attempt by TurnRetryState.auth_failover_attempted.
When no fallback is configured the behavior is unchanged — it falls through
to the existing terminal handling and provider-specific troubleshooting
guidance.
Tests: test_auth_provider_failover.py — 401/403 classify as auth, the
gating condition fires only with a chain present + guard unset, the guard
blocks repeats, and non-auth (500) errors do not trigger auth failover.
run_conversation's inner retry loop tracked recovery state in ~15 scattered
bare booleans (per-provider OAuth refresh guards, format-recovery guards,
restart signals). They are now fields on a single TurnRetryState dataclass the
loop mutates in place (_retry.<flag>), giving the recovery bookkeeping a named,
testable home.
Loop-control vars (retry_count, max_retries, max_compression_attempts) stay as
plain locals — they're while-mechanics, not recovery bookkeeping.
Behavior-neutral: pure local→attribute rewrite of 42 references; kwarg NAMES
preserved (e.g. has_retried_429=_retry.has_retried_429). Live simple + tool
turns OK.
Validation: tests/run_agent/ 1615 passed / 0 failed under per-file process
isolation; new test_turn_retry_state.py pins the field contract.
