hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]: Bedrock Auxiliary Models Not Persisting / Not Supported [2 comments, 2 participants]

1. Run hermes model → Configure auxiliary models → Select Bedrock provider
2. Configure a Bedrock model (e.g., anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-20250514)
3. Try using any auxiliary task (vision, compression, session_search, curator)
4. Exit and restart Hermes
5. Check config.yaml — auxiliary model config is missing or reset

Or

Configured auxiliary models should persist in config.yaml and work for ALL auxiliary tasks:
- auxiliary.vision — vision/image analysis tasks
- auxiliary.compression — context compression/summarization
- auxiliary.session_search — session search functionality
- auxiliary.curator — curator/skill review tasks
- Any other auxiliary task slots

Despite this, the system ignores the manual config and falls back to "auto" every time.

Environment
- Hermes version: [run hermes --version]
- Provider: Bedrock
- Platform: macOS/Linux/Windows

Relevant Code
- agent/auxiliary_client.py — resolve_provider_client() function (lines ~1938-2170)
- The function doesn't handle Bedrock as a valid provider for any auxiliary tasks
- Config migration in hermes_cli/config.py handles auxiliary.{vision,compression,session_search,curator}.{provider,model}

  gateway.log  https://dpaste.com/45MJ98V6J

Suggested Fix
1. Add Bedrock support to resolve_provider_client() in agent/auxiliary_client.py
2. The Bedrock client should use boto3 / aws_sdk (as noted in recent PRs: "aux aws_sdk")
3. Ensure auxiliary config persists properly in config.yaml when using Bedrock
4. Test all auxiliary task slots: vision, compression, session_search, curator
