 - OpenAI model lists are filtered to models that are expected to work with the backend's Responses API implementation.
+- `hermes-agent` is included only when `HERMES_AGENT_API_KEY` is configured. Set it to Hermes `API_SERVER_KEY`, or any non-empty value if that local server does not require auth. `HERMES_AGENT_API_BASE_URL` defaults to `http://127.0.0.1:8642/v1`; set `HERMES_AGENT_MODEL` only when you need an additional fallback/override model id.
