Summary

Switching to provider: copilot with the default model name (claude-sonnet-4-6, dashes) produces an immediate HTTP 400 "The requested model is not supported" because Copilot's API requires dot-notation (claude-sonnet-4.6). There's no error message pointing at the naming mismatch — users have to figure it out by trial and error.

What changed

File Change
hermes_cli/models.py Added 4 dash-notation entries to _COPILOT_MODEL_ALIASES

normalize_copilot_model_id() already runs on every Copilot API call and resolves aliases before the request is sent. The new entries silently map claude-{model}-4-6 → claude-{model}-4.6 so users don't need to update their config when switching providers.

Type of Change

  • 🐛 Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)

How to Test

Set model.provider: copilot and model.default: claude-sonnet-4-6 (dashes) in config.yaml. Before this fix: HTTP 400. After: request succeeds with the correct model ID forwarded to Copilot.

Closes #6879

The default model name format in Hermes config uses dashes
(claude-sonnet-4-6) but Copilot's API requires dots (claude-sonnet-4.6).
Users switching to provider: copilot without updating their model name
get an HTTP 400 'model not supported' error with no clear guidance.

Add dash-to-dot aliases in _COPILOT_MODEL_ALIASES for all current
Claude models served via Copilot, so normalize_copilot_model_id()
silently resolves them to the correct ID.

The Copilot API returns HTTP 400 "model_not_supported" when it receives a
model ID it doesn't recognize (vendor-prefixed like
`anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6` or dash-notation like `claude-sonnet-4-6`).
Two bugs combined to leave both formats unhandled:

1. `_COPILOT_MODEL_ALIASES` in hermes_cli/models.py only covered bare
   dot-notation and vendor-prefixed dot-notation.  Hermes' default Claude
   IDs elsewhere use hyphens (anthropic native format), and users with an
   aggregator-style config who switch `model.provider` to `copilot`
   inherit `anthropic/claude-X-4.6` — neither case was in the table.

2. The Copilot branch of `normalize_model_for_provider()` only stripped
   the vendor prefix when it matched the target provider (`copilot/`) or
   was the special-cased `openai/` for openai-codex.  Every other vendor
   prefix survived to the Copilot request unchanged.

Fix:

- Add dash-notation aliases (`claude-{opus,sonnet,haiku}-4-{5,6}` and the
  `anthropic/`-prefixed variants) to the alias table.
- Rewire the Copilot / Copilot-ACP branch of
  `normalize_model_for_provider()` to delegate to the existing
  `normalize_copilot_model_id()`.  That function already does alias
  lookups, catalog-aware resolution, and vendor-prefix fallback — it was
  being bypassed for the generic normalisation entry point.

Because `switch_model()` already calls `normalize_model_for_provider()`
for every `/model` switch (line 685 in model_switch.py), this single fix
covers the CLI startup path (cli.py), the `/model` slash command path,
and the gateway load-from-config path.

Closes #6879

case; their aliases are folded into this consolidated fix alongside the
vendor-prefix stripping repair.

Closing — salvaged via PR #11561 (commit 29d5d36). Your dash-notation aliases are in the merged fix, bundled with a repair of normalize_model_for_provider()'s broken vendor-prefix handling (the other half of this class of 400s). Thanks for the clean diagnosis — credit preserved in the commit/PR body.

[Bug]: Copilot provider rejects Claude model names in dash-notation (HTTP 400)
