Peter Steinberger 97bbbc2271 feat(agents): derive a provider-declared default utility model when unset (#103769)
* feat(agents): derive a provider-declared default utility model when unset

When agents.defaults.utilityModel is not set, utility tasks (titles, progress
narration) now use the primary provider's declared small model
(modelCatalog.providers.<id>.defaultUtilityModel: OpenAI -> gpt-5.6-luna,
Anthropic -> claude-haiku-4-5). Auth is inherent because derivation follows
the agent's primary provider. Setting utilityModel to an empty string
disables utility routing entirely; narration turns on automatically when a
default resolves and stays off otherwise.

Formatting/lint/tests verified on Testbox (oxfmt, oxlint, plugins:inventory,
docs:map, import-cycles, check:test-types, 4 test files).

* fix(ai): drop the temperature parameter for models that reject it

The GPT-5.6 family 400s on temperature via the Responses API (live-verified:
gpt-5.6-luna/-terra reject it; gpt-5.5 and gpt-5.4-mini/nano accept it).
supportsOpenAITemperature gates all three OpenAI payload builders, with a
catalog compat override (compat.supportsTemperature) declared for the 5.6
family in the openai manifest. Without this, utility tasks (titles,
narration) would fail once gpt-5.6-luna becomes the derived default.

Gates on Testbox: oxfmt, oxlint, plugins:inventory, import-cycles,
check:test-types, 6 test files. Live proof on Testbox: gpt-5.6-luna and
claude-haiku-4-5 one-shot completions succeed with temperature requested.

* fix(agents): carry the primary model's auth profile onto the derived utility default

A primary like openai/gpt-5.5@work previously reached utility tasks via the
profiled fallback; the derived default shares the provider, so its trailing
auth profile carries over instead of silently switching to default
credentials (Codex review). Gates on Testbox: oxfmt, check:test-types, tests.

* docs: realign the manifest provider-fields table after adding defaultUtilityModel

@openclaw/ai

Reusable model API contracts, provider adapters, and streaming primitives from OpenClaw. The package supports isolated runtime instances; importing it does not register providers globally.

import { createLlmRuntime } from "@openclaw/ai";
import { registerBuiltInApiProviders } from "@openclaw/ai/providers";

const runtime = createLlmRuntime();
registerBuiltInApiProviders(runtime.registry);

Provider-neutral contracts, validation, diagnostics, and event streams are available from the package root and focused subpaths such as @openclaw/ai/event-stream and @openclaw/ai/validation. No second OpenClaw runtime package is required.

Provider ids, credentials, model catalogs, retries, and failover remain application concerns. OpenClaw supplies those policies around this package. Host policy (request fetch guarding, secret redaction, strict-tool defaults, diagnostics logging) can be injected with configureAiTransportHost; the defaults are inert.

@openclaw/ai/internal/* subpaths exist for the OpenClaw application itself. They carry no semver guarantee and can change or disappear in any release; do not depend on them outside OpenClaw.
