Add Provider

Goal

Generate DeepChat provider integration changes against the current provider architecture. Keep provider display data in PublicProviderConf, map runtime behavior to known transports, and use a special provider implementation only when the API behavior requires one.

Required Inputs

Collect or derive these before editing source:

• Provider ID in kebab case.
• Display name.
• API type or known transport family.
• Default base URL.
• Auth type: API key, no auth, OAuth, profile credentials, or provider-specific credential.
• Model metadata source: built-in config, provider-db, config-db, live model fetch, or custom only.
• Test model ID and check strategy.
• Official website, API key URL, docs URL, model list URL.
• Request quirks: headers, endpoint suffixes, route rewrites, streaming shape, tool-call support, reasoning support, image/audio/embedding endpoints, or proxy requirements.

Supported Paths

OpenAI-Compatible API

Use this when the provider supports OpenAI Chat Completions or Responses-compatible HTTP APIs.

Typical files:

• src/main/provider/defaults.ts
• src/main/provider/providerId.ts
• src/main/provider/providerRegistry.ts for runtime strategies and derived public catalog membership
• test/main/** provider registry or creation tests

Existing Native Transport

Use this when the provider maps to an existing DeepChat transport such as Anthropic, Gemini, Vertex, Azure, Bedrock, Ollama, or ACP.

Typical files:

• src/main/provider/defaults.ts
• src/main/provider/providerRegistry.ts
• Settings components only when the existing generic form lacks required fields
• Focused tests for provider creation and connection checks

Special Provider

Use this when auth, request shape, streaming, discovery, or error handling differs from existing transports.
