Summary

  • OpenAIProvider already speaks the plain OpenAI wire shape against any /v1/chat/completions-compatible endpoint via OPENAI_API_KEY + OPENAI_BASE_URL. Novita AI (https://api.novita.ai/openai/v1) fits that same shape, so this documents it alongside DeepSeek, SiliconFlow, Azure, and local servers rather than adding a new provider class.

Changes

  • README.md: new row in the LLM Providers table.
  • .env.example: mentions Novita as an OPENAI_BASE_URL example.
  • src/providers/openai.ts: adds Novita to the JSDoc list of supported OpenAI-compatible backends.
  • test/openai-shared.test.ts: asserts detectAzure() does not misclassify Novita's host, and that its /openai/v1 base builds the expected chat-completions URL (mirrors the existing DeepSeek /v1 coverage).

Verification

  • npm run build and npm test pass.
  • Verified against a live Novita endpoint: OpenAIProvider.summarize() against https://api.novita.ai/openai/v1 with model zai-org/glm-4.6 returned a successful completion.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for Novita AI as an OpenAI-compatible provider.
    • Updated the default OpenAI model to gpt-5.6-luna.
    • Added clearer configuration guidance for API keys, base URLs, and model selection.
    • Preserved versioned API paths when connecting to chat completions.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Alternate OpenAI-compatible endpoints now require an explicit OPENAI_MODEL, preventing unsupported fallback models.
    • Default OpenAI and Azure configurations continue working without an explicit model.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

OpenAI-compatible endpoints now require OPENAI_MODEL when they are not the default OpenAI or Azure endpoint. The default model changes to gpt-5.6-luna. Novita AI documentation, URL routing, configuration, fallback behavior, and regression tests are updated.

Changes

Explicit model validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define endpoint model requirements
src/providers/_openai-shared.ts, src/providers/openai.ts, .env.example, README.md
The shared helper identifies endpoints that require an explicit model. Documentation lists Novita AI and describes the gpt-5.6-luna default and custom endpoint requirements.
Enforce explicit models during configuration
src/providers/index.ts, src/config.ts
Model resolution and provider detection reject non-default, non-Azure endpoints without OPENAI_MODEL. Default OpenAI, Azure, and embeddings-only behavior remains exempt.
Validate model requirements and endpoint routing
test/openai-model-required.test.ts, test/fallback-model-resolution.test.ts, test/openai-shared.test.ts
Tests cover explicit model validation, fallback behavior, endpoint classification, and Novita /openai/v1 chat URL routing.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6383a

The provider documentation change is accompanied by shared endpoint and model-resolution behavior that can accept noncanonical OpenAI URLs without validation and may cause Novita configurations without an explicit model to fail. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted by an owner.

Require OPENAI_MODEL for custom endpoints.

detectProvider() and fallback resolution use gpt-5.6-luna when OPENAI_MODEL is unset, regardless of OPENAI_BASE_URL. Novita does not list this model, so such requests fail. Use the default only for OpenAI’s endpoint, or require OPENAI_MODEL for custom endpoints.

detectProvider() and the fallback-provider path in providers/index.ts
both fell back to gpt-5.6-luna whenever OPENAI_MODEL was unset,
regardless of OPENAI_BASE_URL. That default only exists on
api.openai.com (and Azure deployments, where the model lives in the
URL path, not the request body). Pointing OPENAI_BASE_URL at Novita,
DeepSeek, SiliconFlow, or a local server without also setting
OPENAI_MODEL silently produced requests for a model the target
provider doesn't serve, instead of failing with a clear
misconfiguration error.

- src/providers/_openai-shared.ts: add requiresExplicitModel(), true
  for any base URL that isn't the default OpenAI endpoint or Azure
  OpenAI.
- src/config.ts: detectProvider() throws with an actionable message
  when OPENAI_API_KEY is scoped to LLM use, OPENAI_MODEL is unset, and
  requiresExplicitModel() is true.
- src/providers/index.ts: defaultModelFor() applies the same check for
  the FALLBACK_PROVIDERS path; the throw is caught by
  createFallbackProvider()'s existing try/catch, so a misconfigured
  openai fallback is skipped rather than crashing provider selection.
- README.md / .env.example: document that OPENAI_MODEL is required
  once OPENAI_BASE_URL points away from the default.
- test/openai-shared.test.ts: unit coverage for requiresExplicitModel().
- test/openai-model-required.test.ts: detectProvider() regression
  coverage (throws for Novita without OPENAI_MODEL, succeeds with it
  set, unaffected for the default endpoint / Azure / embeddings-only
  scoping).
- test/fallback-model-resolution.test.ts: coverage for the fallback
  path skipping openai instead of inheriting gpt-5.6-luna.

Add the required iii-sdk mock to both changed test files.

The test guideline requires vi.mock("iii-sdk") with mocks for sdk.trigger, kv.get, kv.set, and kv.list.

  • test/openai-model-required.test.ts#L1-L4: add the required top-level iii-sdk mock near the imports.
  • test/openai-shared.test.ts#L8-L8: add the required top-level iii-sdk mock near the imports.

As per coding guidelines, “Mock iii-sdk using vi.mock("iii-sdk"), including mocks for sdk.trigger and kv.get, kv.set, and kv.list.”

Source: Coding guidelines

requiresExplicitModel() compared the normalized base URL against
DEFAULT_OPENAI_BASE_URL with strict string equality, so the equally
valid https://api.openai.com/v1 form (which appendOpenAIRoute()
already treats identically to the bare host) was misclassified as a
non-default endpoint. detectProvider() then threw "OPENAI_MODEL is
required" for a canonical, working OpenAI configuration whenever
OPENAI_MODEL was unset.

Replace the exact-match check with isDefaultOpenAIHost(), which
parses the URL and accepts hostname === "api.openai.com" with a
pathname of "" or "/v1" (trailing slashes normalized). The hostname
check guards against lookalike hosts such as
api.openai.com.evil.example.

Adds regression coverage at both the requiresExplicitModel() unit
level and the detectProvider() integration level, plus a decoy-host
test to confirm the hostname check isn't a loose suffix match.

Comment thread src/providers/_openai-shared.ts
isDefaultOpenAIHost() only checked hostname and path, so
http://api.openai.com/v1 and https://api.openai.com:8443/v1 both
bypassed OPENAI_MODEL validation even though neither is the real
api.openai.com endpoint agentmemory talks to (fetchWithTimeout always
dials https on the default port). Require protocol === "https:" and
an empty port before treating the host as the default OpenAI
endpoint. Adds regression cases for both bypasses.

Also drops the explanatory // comments this PR had added above
isDefaultOpenAIHost(), requiresExplicitModel(), the OPENAI_MODEL
guard in defaultModelFor(), and the OpenAI-compatible branch of
detectProvider() — AGENTS.md's coding standards call for clear
naming over WHAT-comments, and CodeRabbit flagged the same blocks.

The reviewer's separate request to add a top-level vi.mock("iii-sdk")
to these two test files doesn't apply: config.ts and
_openai-shared.ts never import iii-sdk (confirmed via madge), and
160 of the repo's 162 test files skip that mock for the same reason
— it's only needed by tests that exercise iii-engine
Trigger/registerFunction machinery, which requiresExplicitModel()
and detectProvider() don't touch.
