CTO Case Provider Decision Record
Local planning SOT only. Not a Core Protocol. Not active Core authority.
Current Decision State
decision_status:local_provider_required.provider_class:local_case_compatible.provider:qwen-local.model:qwen3.6-35b-a3b.fallback_provider:openai-codex.fallback_model:gpt-5.5.approval_source: JP chat approval on 2026-05-31.credential_source_class:pi-models-json-local-provider-no-secret-plus-codex-oauth-fallback; no secret value.allowed_network_class:local-tailscale-vllm-spark1-plus-codex-oauth-fallback.review_trigger: before real Case Stage 2 admission JSON is written, before any credential source change, and before any default/fallback model change.evidence_sources:CTO-CASE-MODEL-PROVIDER-ADMISSION-ISSUES.md,CTO-CASE-PROVIDER-DECISION-PACKET-PRD.md,CTO-CASE-PROVIDER-DECISION-PACKET-ISSUES.md,/home/svrnty/workspaces/hermes/scripts/apply-hermes-model-policy.py,/home/svrnty/.hermes/config.yaml.effect:CTO-WORK-020 remains blocked until admitted provider/model and real Stage 2 pass report exist.
Meaning
local_provider_required means JP approved the provider decision branch for the existing Hermes model stack: qwen-local with model qwen3.6-35b-a3b as primary, and openai-codex with model gpt-5.5 as fallback.
This record is not provider/model admission and is not Stage 2 pass evidence. It does not authorize Case to run until the CTO-WORK-020 admission JSON exists and the Harness Evidence Interface proves real Stage 2.
CTO-WORK-024 is resolved by this record selecting local_provider_required.
Decision History
Previous state:
decision_status:not_decided.not_decidedmeans no provider/model may run.
Future changes:
- Only JP or a governed Core route may change this record away from
local_provider_required. - Allowed future values remain
external_provider_approvedorlocal_provider_required.
Any future state must include exact non-secret fields required by CTO-WORK-020: provider/model when applicable, approval source, credential source class, allowed network class, review trigger, and evidence expectations.
Safety Constraints
- No secret value may appear in SOT, task file, argv, report, trace, backend logs, generated config, or commit.
- No Target Repository path may be inspected or copied.
CTO-WORK-020remains provider/model admission authority.CTO_HARNESS_CASE_MODEL_ADMISSION_FILEremains execution admission gate.CTO-WORK-022remains blocked until explicit local provider config is supplied and real Case Stage 2 pass evidence exists.- Real Case Stage 2 remains blocked until admitted provider/model and Harness Evidence Interface pass report exist.
- Fallback to
openai-codexwithgpt-5.5must be explicit in admission evidence before it may count as a Case provider/model path. - Existing evidence paths and commits are referenced only; runtime evidence is not copied into this record.
Runtime Compatibility Finding - 2026-06-01
- Hermes commit
5db23c7 Fail closed on Case Codex auth gapblocks the admittedopenai-codex/gpt-5.5Case path beforecase_process_startedunless a non-vendor auth bridge is proven. - The block exists because Case's pipeline SDK path constructs its Pi Agent runtime directly and does not pass Pi AuthStorage OAuth headers into
streamSimple. - Pi env API-key lookup does not map
openai-codexto an environment API key. - The Case-compatible local provider id for the current local Spark fallback path is
qwen-local, modelqwen3.6-35b-a3b. - The non-secret admission JSON for that local Case path is
.sot/03-PROTOCOLS/CTO-CASE-MODEL-PROVIDER-ADMISSION.qwen-local-qwen3.6-35b-a3b.json. - This finding does not change Hermes primary model policy.
- This finding does not mark
CTO-WORK-020,CTO-WORK-016, or Stage 2 as validated.
Provider Policy Update - 2026-06-01
- JP selected
qwen-local/qwen3.6-35b-a3bon Spark as the default Case provider path. - JP kept
openai-codex/gpt-5.5as fallback only. - The fallback remains blocked by the known OpenAI Codex auth bridge gap unless a non-vendor bridge is proven.
- The local Qwen path remains blocked before Case process start unless
CTO_HARNESS_CASE_LOCAL_BASE_URLis explicitly supplied. - This update changes provider policy only. It does not mark real Case Stage 2 as passed.
Spark Endpoint Config Reference - 2026-06-01
CTO-WORK-030tracks the runtime Spark endpoint config required for the selected Qwen local path.- The required runtime variable is
CTO_HARNESS_CASE_LOCAL_BASE_URL. - The endpoint value must not be copied into SOT, commits, task files, argv examples, backend logs, reports, or traces.
- A configured endpoint alone does not validate
CTO-WORK-016,CTO-WORK-020,CTO-WORK-022, orCTO-WORK-028.
