Folds in the in-flight local-checkout work and fixes the context accounting
on top of it. Both halves are the same bug seen from two ends: clients were
sending requests larger than the backend's window and getting hard
ContextWindowExceededError 400s, intermittently, in a way that looked like
the model or the GPU misbehaving.
Already in flight here (unchanged in intent):
- sync.sh prefers the LOCAL CHECKOUT over re-downloading from Gitea, and
install.sh records the checkout path so it can be found. That recording
is load-bearing: without it sync.sh cannot find the repo, silently falls
back to Gitea, and every local edit to opencode.gateway.json is ignored.
Observed on this box — ~/.config/mcp-sync/source did not exist, the
default ~/.dotfiles is not where the checkout lives, and the Gitea base
still served models:{}.
- the hermes custom-provider wiring.
Fixed on top:
opencode had NO context limit on ANY gateway model, not a wrong one. Two
faults compounded. /model/info 403s for a day-to-day virtual key (only
management-scoped keys may read it), which sync.sh treats as best-effort and
falls back to names-only — as designed and as commented. But the merge then
did `prov["models"] = models`, replacing the map wholesale, so limits
declared in the base config were discarded too and there was no floor left.
Base specs are now a floor that live /model/info overrides field by field:
discovery still wins where present, so this adds no drift, and a 403 no
longer strips the limits. Verified: ornith 195584/32768, the qwens
261120/32768.
hermes' model map named `qwen3-vl-30b-a3b` at 262144 — a model the gateway
stopped serving when Ornith replaced it — while ornith-1.0-35b, the model
actually on cg-1 AND the only one with a window smaller than its neighbours
(196608), had no entry at all and inherited Hermes' default. The one model
needing a lower ceiling was the one not declaring one, which is exactly the
shape that fails only once a session grows.
NOTE for other boxes: hermes reads ~/.hermes/config.yaml, which install.sh
produces by MERGING gateway.yaml. Editing gateway.yaml alone changes nothing
until install.sh re-runs — this machine's live config was patched by hand.
Not addressed here, deliberately: the gateway-side context_window_fallback
(ai-k8s-iac). It is wired but inert while cg-2 is scaled down, so preventing
the oversized request client-side is what actually works today.

~/.zshrc is MANAGED: zsh/install.sh overwrites it wholesale (cp) on every
bootstrap run. install.sh appended the mcp-sync hook to that same file, so
the next bootstrap silently deleted it -- sync.sh then never ran, so
OPENCODE_CONFIG was never exported and opencode came up with no models and
no skills. It looked like a broken gateway or a bad model; it was a wiped
shell hook.
~/.zshrc.local is the unmanaged file the managed zshrc sources last, so the
hook now survives a re-bootstrap. Verified: hook lands in ~/.zshrc.local
(0600), managed ~/.zshrc is left untouched, and OPENCODE_CONFIG still
exports after simulating the bootstrap overwrite.
Also warn instead of failing silently when python3 is missing: sync.sh then
deploys the base config verbatim with an EMPTY models map, which presents as
"the gateway has no models" rather than "a dependency is absent".
