Teknium d509ab10d7 fix(providers): lazy provider headers stay a real dict for plugin overrides
Review finding (P2, #144640): LazyHeaders was a read-only Mapping, so a
user provider override doing get_provider_profile('gmi').default_headers.copy()
(or |, update, json.dumps, ==) raised AttributeError and the provider
disappeared, in-process and under plugins.isolation: host.

LazyHeaders is now a dict subclass that stores every key up front and
resolves callable values (the release-carrying User-Agent) on first value
read. Every value-reading/mutating method resolves first; __iter__ is
overridden so dict(x)/{**x}/f(**x) leave CPython's raw-storage fast path;
json.dumps takes items() because the stored keys make it non-empty.
.copy()/|/copy/pickle yield plain resolved dicts. Importing provider plugins
still runs no git. The plugin-host Mapping materialization is gone: encode()
reads a dict subclass through items(), which resolves.

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

  1. 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)
    
  2. 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.
