Praveen K Palaniswamy 65e81158ab fix(ollama): route models by advertised capability (#11088)
Landed with the design call resolved per the owner's pick — **option 1**: the synced store is now endpoint-agnostic (persistDiscoveredModels and managedModelImport no longer drop non-chat models at write time), and chat selectability moved to read time (auto-pool expansion in autoStrategy applies filterChatSelectableModels; the models-route projection already had its chatOnly filter). Your discovery test now passes end-to-end (3/3): /api/show capabilities persist per connection and image/embedding requests route through the advertising host.

Reconciliation notes: conflicted areas merged onto the current tip (adobe discovery import, requestedModel preflight signature, resolvedProvider fast-path coexists with the synced-route override — explicit resolution wins); carried base-red drains (#10055 memoization, #11071 test variants) dropped as already-landed; the managed-model-import exclusion test was propagated to the new contract (image/video models persist; the read filter still hides them from chat pickers — pinned by a new assertion). Full battery: 205/206 focused (the one red is a confirmed periodic-timer timing flake on the loaded devbox — 20/20 isolated), autoCombo vitest 30/30, combo suites 46/46, gates + typecheck clean.

Thank you @yourspraveen — the capability probe + routing design was right; it just needed the store contract opened up. Fixes #11087.

Developer environment notes

This page explains the project's local .env behavior and how to handle environment files and secrets when developing OmniRoute.

.env postinstall behavior

The project may generate a local .env file during npm install / postinstall for developer convenience. This file is intended only for local development and testing and must never be committed to version control.

Key points:

  • The repository's .gitignore already ignores .env* files (see the .gitignore entry). Do not remove or alter that rule unless you deliberately intend to commit a specific example file and have a documented process for it.
  • If a real secret is accidentally committed to the repo, rotate/revoke the credential immediately and remove it from the repository history (for example, using git filter-repo or an equivalent remediation workflow). Contact the security/contact owner if you need help.
  • For CI and production, use the CI secrets or a secrets manager (GitHub Actions Secrets, Azure Key Vault, HashiCorp Vault, etc.) rather than committing secrets to files.
  • Keep .env in your local workspace only. Use .env.example (already tracked) to document required variables and acceptable example values.
  • When running tests locally that require secret-like values, prefer synthetic placeholders or runtime-generated ephemeral keys rather than real credentials.
  • Add a short comment in tests that use placeholders so reviewers understand the fixture is synthetic.

Scanner notes

  • Some compiled or binary assets (e.g., embedded base64 WASM blobs) can contain ASCII substrings that look like credentials and may trigger text-based secret scanners. If these assets are legitimate, either mark them in the scanner's allowlist or exclude the directories in the scanner config.

If you find a leak

  1. Rotate/revoke the key immediately.
  2. Remove the secret from the history and force-push a cleaned branch if necessary.
  3. Notify maintainers and follow your org's incident response checklist.
