Summary

  • provider_for_role now honours an explicit provider route recorded in config.default_model for the chat-tier roles (chat, reasoning, agentic, coding, burst) when the role's own route is unset, instead of silently falling back to the managed backend.
  • The Chat UI model picker records its selection there (the web-chat turn path stores the per-turn model_override in default_model), so a picked BYOK/local model now actually routes the turn instead of 401ing as "session expired".
  • Everything that is not an explicit route keeps the old behaviour: tier hints, the AI settings row's managed catalog pin (openrouter/...), bare model ids, unknown slugs, and the background specialist roles (vision, memory/summarization, embeddings).

Problem

Closes #6938. On a local-only profile, picking a model in the Chat UI's model picker had no effect on routing: every turn failed with managed invoke/stream failed: status=401 ... "Invalid token" "UNAUTHORIZED", surfaced misleadingly as "Your OpenHuman session has expired". Root cause: create_turn_chat_model_with_native_tools_and_route_inner checks resolves_to_managed_backend(role, config) before consulting the turn's chosen model, and role resolution (provider_for_role) never consulted config.default_model — the only place the picker records its selection.

Solution

  • New default_model_route_for_role helper in crates/openhuman-core/src/inference/provider/factory/routing.rs: returns the default_model string as the role's route only when it parses as an explicit provider route (a configured cloud slug, a local runtime string, or a claude-code/SDK provider) for a chat-tier role.
  • provider_for_role consults it in the unset-route fall-through branch, before resolve_primary_cloud_provider_string. An explicitly configured role route still wins; the Pinning one chat-tier BYOK route silently re-routes the other two #6109 "each route stands alone" invariant is preserved (covered by tests).
  • Design tradeoff: background specialist roles are deliberately excluded — a chat-model pick says nothing about which model should do vision or summarization.

Submission Checklist

  • Tests added or updated (happy path + at least one failure / edge case) per Testing Strategy
  • Diff coverage ≥ 80% — new routing_tests.rs covers the helper and its integration into provider_for_role
  • Coverage matrix updated — N/A: behaviour-only change (extends existing feature 13.3.8, no rows added/removed/renamed)
  • All affected feature IDs from the matrix are listed in the PR description under ## Related
  • No new external network dependencies introduced (mock backend used per Testing Strategy)
  • Manual smoke checklist updated if this touches release-cut surfaces — N/A: no release-cut surfaces touched
  • Linked issue closed via Closes #NNN in the ## Related section

Impact

  • Desktop/web/CLI chat turns: a model picked in the Chat UI now routes to the picked provider when the role has no explicit route configured. No change when a role route is configured, and no change for managed-catalog pins, hints, or background roles.
  • No migration or compatibility implications: pure routing fallback, no config schema changes.

Validation Blocked

  • command: cargo test -p openhuman --lib routing_tests
  • error: the full lib test binary cannot link on this 7 GB dev machine — rustc is SIGKILLed by the OOM killer during codegen of the giant openhuman crate (reproduced 3x, including with -C codegen-units=1 -C debuginfo=0).
  • impact: the 11 tests were instead executed in a standalone harness containing a verified-verbatim copy of default_model_route_for_role (diffed identical modulo namespaced paths), verbatim copies of the is_local_provider_string predicate chain, and faithful replicas of the provider_for_role fall-through branch and resolves_to_managed_backend (each verified against source, including the resolve_primary_cloud_provider_string → "openhuman" default for the configs under test): 11/11 pass with the fix; the 2 corrected bare-form negatives fail against the intermediate function (bare-claude_agent_sdk positive, bare-openai negative, and all 7 original tests pass in both). Every type used by the real test file (Config::default, CloudProviderCreds fields + its Default impl, AuthStyle::Bearer, pub(crate) visibility) was verified against the real definitions, and cargo check -p openhuman --lib type-checks the real fix. The full suite should run in CI.

Behavior Changes

  • Intended behavior change: chat-tier roles honour an explicit provider route in config.default_model when their own route is unset
  • User-visible effect: the Chat UI model picker's selection now takes effect instead of silently falling back to the managed backend

Parity Contract

  • Legacy behavior preserved: managed pins, hints, bare model ids, configured role routes, and background-role fallbacks behave exactly as before (all covered by tests)
  • Guard/fallback/dispatch parity checks: resolves_to_managed_backend and the managed-credits gate derive from the same provider_for_role, so they stay consistent

Duplicate / Superseded PR Handling

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Chat, reasoning, agentic, coding, and burst requests can use a configured default cloud, local, or CLI provider when their role-specific route is empty or set to cloud. A bare Claude Agent SDK default is also supported.
    • Explicit role-specific routes take precedence, and routes for other roles remain independent.
    • Invalid or unrecognized defaults, managed-catalog entries, and bare model IDs—including bare OpenAI—retain the existing managed routing behavior.
    • Vision and summarization requests continue to use managed routing.

The picker records its selection in config.default_model (the web-chat
turn path stores the per-turn model_override there), but provider_for_role
never consulted it: with an unset chat_provider the turn silently fell
through to the managed backend and failed with 401 'session expired' on
local-only profiles.

When default_model names an explicit provider route (a configured cloud
slug, a local runtime, or a claude-code/SDK provider), the chat-tier roles
now use it instead of the managed fallback. Hints, managed catalog pins,
bare model ids, unknown slugs, and the background specialist roles keep
the previous behaviour, and an explicitly configured role route still wins.

What changed

`provider_for_role` in `crates/openhuman-core/src/inference/provider/factory/routing.rs` now consults a new helper, `default_model_route_for_role`, before the managed fallback: for the chat-tier roles (chat, reasoning, agentic, coding, burst) an explicit provider route named in `config.default_model` (e.g. `my-openai:gpt-4o`, `ollama:llama3`, or `claude_agent_sdk`) is returned directly instead of falling through to the managed backend. Bare `claude_agent_sdk` is the only bare provider name honoured (the SDK resolves its model from `config.claude_agent_sdk.default_model`); bare local runtimes and bare cloud slugs carry no `:model` part and fail at construction, so they keep the managed fallback rather than erroring. Non-explicit values — tier hints (`hint:chat`), managed catalog pins (`openrouter/...`), bare model ids, unknown slugs, `openhuman:`, and empty slug/model halves — keep the managed fallback, background specialist roles are unaffected, and explicitly configured role routes still win. A new sibling test module `crates/openhuman-core/src/inference/provider/factory/routing_tests.rs` covers the routing behaviour.

Features

  • Modified — Honour the Chat UI model picker's provider selection in role routing: Chat-tier turns (chat, reasoning, agentic, coding, burst) with an unset role route now use the provider picked in `config.default_model` (per-turn via `build_session_agent` or hand-set in `config.toml`) instead of silently falling back to the managed backend, which previously 401'd as "session expired" on local-only or BYOK setups. Bare `claude_agent_sdk` is honoured as the only bare provider name; bare local runtimes and bare cloud slugs keep the managed fallback because they cannot construct a runtime without a model id. Background roles, hints, managed-catalog pins, unknown slugs, and bare `openai` keep the managed fallback, and explicitly configured role routes still win. The credits gate derives from the same `provider_for_role`, addressing the earlier credits-gating concern. The e2e lane notes no E2E harness drives the new route with an actual provider-route value, and four E2E jobs remain pending. (crates/openhuman-core/src/inference/provider/factory/routing.rs#pub fn provider_for_role(role: &str, config: &Config) -> String {, crates/openhuman-core/src/inference/provider/factory/routing.rs#pub(super) fn split_model_and_temperature(raw: &str) -> (String, Option<f64>) {, crates/openhuman-core/src/inference/provider/factory/routing_tests.rs)

Tests

  • unit — `default_model_with_explicit_provider_routes_chat_instead_of_managed` asserts a picked BYOK route in `default_model` routes the chat turn and does not resolve to the managed backend.: Behavioural assertion on both the returned provider string and `resolves_to_managed_backend`; not executed by this review. (crates/openhuman-core/src/inference/provider/factory/routing_tests.rs)
  • unit — `default_model_route_applies_to_chat_tier_roles` asserts the default-model route covers chat, reasoning, agentic, and coding roles.: Behavioural; a prior round noted `burst` (included in the helper's match arm) is omitted from this test's role list. (crates/openhuman-core/src/inference/provider/factory/routing_tests.rs)
  • unit — `default_model_route_does_not_touch_background_roles` asserts vision, memory, summarization, embeddings, and learning roles keep the managed fallback despite a default_model pick.: Behavioural; not executed by this review. (crates/openhuman-core/src/inference/provider/factory/routing_tests.rs)
  • unit — `default_model_with_local_provider_routes_chat_locally` asserts an `ollama:llama3` pick routes chat locally.: Behavioural; not executed by this review. (crates/openhuman-core/src/inference/provider/factory/routing_tests.rs)
  • unit — `explicit_role_route_still_wins_over_default_model` and `default_model_does_not_disturb_configured_sibling_routes` pin the Pinning one chat-tier BYOK route silently re-routes the other two #6109 invariants that configured role routes win and siblings are not cross-contaminated.: Behavioural; not executed by this review. (crates/openhuman-core/src/inference/provider/factory/routing_tests.rs)
  • unit — `default_model_with_bare_claude_agent_sdk_routes_chat` asserts a bare `claude_agent_sdk` default routes the chat turn, pinning the fix from the fix(routing): honour the Chat UI model picker's provider selection #6996 review.: Behavioural; the tests lane confirmed the bare-provider findings from earlier rounds are addressed by the `!dm.contains(':')` branch and its tests. (crates/openhuman-core/src/inference/provider/factory/routing_tests.rs)
  • unit — `default_model_with_bare_local_provider_keeps_managed_fallback` and `default_model_with_bare_cloud_slug_keeps_managed_fallback` assert that bare `ollama` and bare `my-openai` picks (no `:model` part, unconstructible at runtime) keep the managed fallback instead of erroring at construction.: Behavioural; pins the revised bare-form handling that addresses the earlier bare-slug and credits-gate findings. (crates/openhuman-core/src/inference/provider/factory/routing_tests.rs)
  • unit — `default_model_with_bare_openai_keeps_managed_fallback` asserts bare `openai` deliberately keeps the managed fallback rather than being misread as a local runtime.: Behavioural; not executed by this review. (crates/openhuman-core/src/inference/provider/factory/routing_tests.rs)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

When a role route is empty or set to cloud, routing can use an eligible explicit route from default_model for chat-tier roles. Tests cover accepted routes, fallback behavior, and role-route precedence.

Changes

Default model routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Determine eligible default routes
crates/openhuman-core/src/inference/provider/factory/routing.rs
The routing helper accepts configured cloud providers with a model, recognized local or CLI providers with a model, and the bare claude_agent_sdk value. It rejects unsupported default values.
Resolve default model routes
crates/openhuman-core/src/inference/provider/factory/routing.rs, crates/openhuman-core/src/inference/provider/factory/routing_tests.rs
For chat-tier roles with an empty or cloud route, routing checks default_model before using the primary cloud fallback. Tests cover accepted routes, fallback cases, and explicit role-route precedence.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Suggested reviewers: al629176

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to e4333

The change makes the Chat UI model picker's provider selection take effect for chat-tier roles, where it previously fell through to the managed backend. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains in the supplied evidence.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 30f08

Provider choices remain constrained, and existing authentication and privacy checks still apply. However, failure attribution can remain tied to a different provider than the one selected for the request, weakening recovery after certain failures.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · inferred: Newly effective per-turn provider overrides are not reflected in the session's resolved provider_binding. A recent managed-provider budget signal can consequently reclassify an unrelated empty response from a selected local or BYOK provider. That failure becomes a synthetic successful result and can return the failed session to the warm cache, weakening the existing failure-containment rule. The mismatch is bounded to thread-scoped state; no unauthorized credential access was established.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — For the inspected path, a caller holding the process RPC token can influence eligible workload routing to recognized configured cloud providers or existing local/subprocess routes. The relevant authority is the loaded configuration and its credentials, not an arbitrary cloud endpoint supplied by model_override. Deployment-wide tenant or environment separation is not established by this trace.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The inspected socket boundary checks browser origin and the active per-process bearer token before establishing authenticated state. The chat handler checks that state before forwarding the selection. Token verification rejects uninitialized or empty credentials.
  • observed — The new route remains subject to existing local-only privacy checks in cloud and subprocess construction. Cloud slugs must resolve to configured entries; local runtime endpoints and authentication come from runtime configuration or environment settings rather than the route's model suffix.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Provider-bound failure state can diverge from effective execution under the new override behavior. Cache equality still distinguishes different selections, and budget signals expire after five minutes or clear after successful execution, but these controls do not correct the base-versus-effective provider binding used for failure correlation.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Derive execution and provider-bound metadata from the same effective per-turn routing decision, and preserve failed-session disposal independently of user-facing error reclassification.

Handle the bare Claude Agent SDK provider

The bare claude_agent_sdk value is a valid provider sentinel (CLAUDE_AGENT_SDK_PROVIDER), and the existing routing and credential checks explicitly support it. However, split_once(':')? returns None before the later dm == CLAUDE_AGENT_SDK_PROVIDER check can run, so selecting the SDK without a model in default_model still falls through to the managed backend. Handle this sentinel before requiring a colon.

tinysweeper review on tinyhumansai#6996: a bare `claude_agent_sdk` default_model names
the provider with no `:model` part, but `split_once(':')?` rejected it
before the explicit CLAUDE_AGENT_SDK_PROVIDER check could run, silently
falling back to the managed backend. Check bare provider names
(claude_agent_sdk, configured cloud slugs, local runtimes) before the
slug:model split. Bare `openai` deliberately keeps the managed fallback:
the slug names the cloud provider elsewhere in the factory.

Adds 4 regression tests (bare claude_agent_sdk, bare ollama, bare cloud
slug, bare openai negative).

Handle bare cloud slugs consistently with credential gating

This newly accepts a bare configured cloud slug such as my-openai, but the downstream credential check only treats concrete <slug>:<model> routes as usable. role_bypasses_managed_credits will therefore resolve this as non-managed while route_has_usable_credentials returns false, leaving the managed-credits gate enabled for a valid BYOK selection. The cloud factory contract also documents configured cloud routes as <slug>:<model>, so a bare slug may not produce a usable chat model at all. Either reject bare configured cloud slugs here, or update the downstream route resolution and credential handling to give them a defined model and credential path.

Recognize bare cloud routes in the credits gate

This newly accepts a bare configured cloud slug as a route, but route_has_usable_credentials only checks cloud credentials after split_once(':'). Consequently, selecting a configured BYOK provider without a model routes the request to that provider while role_bypasses_managed_credits reports it as not usable, so users can be incorrectly held behind the managed-credits gate. Make credential detection handle bare configured cloud slugs consistently, or do not accept them here.

Drive the new default_model provider route end to end

The new routing branch is the behavioural fix (#6938): a picked BYOK/local model in default_model should route the chat turn away from the managed backend. No end-to-end test reaches it. All existing Rust E2E harnesses write default_model = "e2e-mock-model" (a bare model id that default_model_route_for_role intentionally rejects) and pass "model_override": "e2e-mock-model", so the Rust E2E (mock backend) job only ever exercises the managed fallback this change must not disturb. What a test would have to do: seed config.toml with a configured cloud provider entry (slug, endpoint pointing at the mock backend) plus default_model = "<slug>:<model>", send a web-chat turn via openhuman.channel_web_chat, and assert the upstream request lands on the provider endpoint rather than the managed backend. Without it, a regression that reverts to ignoring default_model passes the whole E2E suite silently.

- Around line 169-170: Update the bare-route handling in the routing function
containing the dm check so an exact `ollama` default model does not select the
local runtime without a model ID; return no local route for that value and
preserve the existing routing behavior for other bare providers.

CodeRabbit review on tinyhumansai#6996: bare local runtimes (ollama, lmstudio, mlx,
omlx, local-openai) and bare cloud slugs carry no :model part and fail at
chat-model construction (empty_model_err / unresolved provider), so routing
them there would trade the managed fallback for a build-time error. Narrow
the bare-provider branch to claude_agent_sdk only, which resolves its model
from config.claude_agent_sdk.default_model. Bare ollama / bare cloud slugs
keep the managed fallback; tests updated.
