What

auxiliary.<task>.fallback_chain already works (agent/auxiliary_client.py::_try_configured_fallback_chain) and is documented on the Fallback Providers page, but it was missing from the Full auxiliary config reference in configuration.md — where users actually look.

Changes (docs-only)

  • Add fallback_chain to the auxiliary YAML reference.
  • Add a focused "Per-task fallback chain" subsection with a compression-fallback example (Anthropic Haiku → OpenRouter → GMI) and a note on where it sits in the fallback ladder + when it triggers.
  • Cross-link to the Fallback Providers ladder.

Zero code risk; "test" = docs build/review.

Closes #46618

…rence

The per-task fallback_chain option works
(agent/auxiliary_client.py::_try_configured_fallback_chain) and was
documented on the Fallback Providers page, but was missing from the
Full auxiliary config reference where users actually look.

Add fallback_chain to the auxiliary YAML reference, a focused
subsection with a compression-fallback example, and a cross-link to
the Fallback Providers ladder.

Closes NousResearch#46618

Closing as a duplicate of #46846, which documents the same auxiliary.<task>.fallback_chain setting and was filed first (it also carries the zh-Hans i18n translations). Worth noting your trigger-semantics wording was actually more precise (429 + Retry-After doesn't trigger the chain) — we're folding that accuracy fix into the merged version, so your contribution is reflected. Thanks!
