Problem

When running Hermes with multiple providers configured (e.g. Xiaomi, Qwen-TP, DeepSeek, Alibaba), the model picker and /models list shows ALL providers that have API keys set — even ones the user never wants to use.

There's no way to hide specific providers without removing their API keys (which would break other things like auxiliary model chains).

Current behavior

  • disabled_plugins exists for plugins — hides them completely
  • provider_filter exists but only for Bedrock model discovery
  • No equivalent for the general model picker

Proposed feature

Add a disabled_providers key to ~/.hermes/config.yaml:

disabled_providers:
  - qwen-tp
  - alibaba-coding-plan
  - xiaomi-tp

These providers would be hidden from:

  1. The /models CLI list
  2. The model picker in TUI
  3. The dashboard models page

They would NOT be removed from auxiliary model chains or fallback configurations.

Use case

User has 5+ providers but only actively uses 2-3. The rest clutter the model picker and confuse the UX.
