fix(catalog): retire dead providers and ended free tiers (V22) - #10
Conversation
Verified 2026-08-23 against live endpoints and the production request log
on the VPS (4618 requests, 2205 errors).
HUGGING FACE — 559 of its 563 logged failures are "402: Payment Required".
The free Inference Providers credit is exhausted, so every request fails
before reaching a model. Disabled at the catalog level only; the provider
stays registered, so topping the account up is enough to re-enable.
GITHUB MODELS — the service is being retired. Both the inference and the
catalog endpoints answer github_models_retirement_brownout. Both rows were
already sitting blocked as model_unavailable in production.
OPENROUTER — 15 rows whose `:free` variant was discontinued. The bare paid
slug still resolves, so a stale row is a billing risk rather than a clean
failure. Ten still-live `:free` routes added in their place, including
nemotron-3-ultra-550b (1M ctx), glm-5.2 and inkling.
LLM7 — three rows are ID drift (gpt-oss-20b -> gpt-oss:20b,
meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-Turbo -> meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-
Turbo), one is gone (ministral-8b-2512). Replacements probe-confirmed 200
anonymously. glm-5.3 is deliberately NOT added: it answers 401 without a
key, so its free-tier status is unconfirmed.
Two things this took a second pass to get right, both caught by the suite:
1. Retirements must run AFTER seedModelCapabilities, which despite its name
also inserts the embedding/image/vision catalog rows. Disabling them in
a migration was a silent no-op on first boot and only applied on the
second, breaking migration idempotency. Additions still run before it so
new chat rows get capability rows and become routable.
2. OpenRouter's bulk /api/v1/models list returns chat models only. Diffing
the catalog against it flagged text-embedding-3-small/large, flux.2-
klein-4b and both riverflow rows as dead when all five are alive —
/models/{id}/endpoints reports 2,2,1,1,1 serving endpoints. That route
is the authoritative check: a record with zero endpoints is dead, which
is exactly how the discontinued :free twins present.
Vision test repointed from nex-agi/nex-n2-pro:free (0 endpoints) to
nvidia/nemotron-nano-12b-v2-vl:free, which is still served.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesThe V22 database migration adds OpenRouter and LLM7 models, creates fallback records, and disables retired providers after capability seeding. Tests cover catalog state, routing exclusions, and updated OpenRouter vision model forwarding. Provider catalog V22
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~30 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR retires unavailable providers and free model variants, but its startup behavior disables those entries again after every restart, so manually restoring Hugging Face access after funding is added will not persist and recovery remains blocked. This should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merging; the retirement tests should also cover every declared exclusion. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Cover every declared V22 exclusion.
RETIRED_OPENROUTER asserts only 6 routes although V22 retires 15 routes. The final assertion checks nvidia/nemotron-3.5-content-safety:free, but it does not verify the required glm-5.3 exclusion. A future change can leave one of these routes enabled and still pass this suite, which can route requests to a paid or unsupported model.
Add explicit assertions for all 15 retired OpenRouter IDs and the exact V22 glm-5.3 model ID.
Also applies to: 161-168

Both from CodeRabbit review on #10; both were real. 1. retireDeadCatalogRowsV22 ran on every startup, and it disables Hugging Face and GitHub wholesale by platform rather than row by row. So an operator who topped the Hugging Face account up and re-enabled it would have the change silently reverted on the next restart — directly contradicting the recovery path the migration's own comment promises. V18/V19/V21 re-run their disables too, but a single dead row is harmless where two whole providers are not. Guarded with a settings flag so the retirement applies once and leaves later manual changes alone. 2. The test asserted 6 of the 15 retired OpenRouter routes and did not check the glm-5.3 exclusion at all, so a future edit could re-enable a discontinued :free route — a billing risk, since the bare paid slug still resolves — and still pass. All 15 are now asserted, and both deliberate exclusions (content-safety classifier, glm-5.3) are pinned. Added a regression test that re-enables Hugging Face and re-runs initDb against the same file to prove the change survives a restart. Verified it fails without the guard.

The service is being retired. Both the inference and catalog endpoints answer:

The models still exist; their
:freevariants were discontinued. Production logs the reason verbatim:404: This model is unavailable for free. The paid version is available now - use this slug. The bare paid slug still resolves, so a stale row is a billing risk rather than a clean failure.Added in their place:

Context windows come from OpenRouter's own API, not estimates.nemotron-3.5-content-safety:freeis deliberately excluded — it's a moderation classifier and would return safety verdicts if the router picked it for chat.LLM7 — 4 retired, 3 added
Three are ID drift (

1. Ordering / idempotency.
seedModelCapabilities— despite the name — also inserts the embedding/image/vision catalog rows, and runs after every migration. Disabling those rows inside a migration was a silent no-op on first boot and only applied on the second, breakingidempotency.test.ts. Retirements now run after it; additions stay before it so new chat rows still get capability rows and become routable.2. Five false positives. OpenRouter's bulk
