TL;DR

Hetzner runs an experimental OpenAI-compatible inference API at https://inference.hetzner.com/api/v1. GoModel had no provider for it. This PR adds the hetzner provider. It wraps the shared OpenAI chat adapter with zero overrides. The upstream API was confirmed to be plain vLLM OpenAI-compatible before implementation: standard SSE chunks, standard max_tokens, standard image_url vision parts, Bearer auth.

Files to review (9, +533 / -1):

File Why
internal/providers/hetzner/hetzner.go (start here) Provider implementation. Mirrors the kimicode pattern field-for-field. Zero adapter overrides.
internal/providers/hetzner/hetzner_test.go (new) 12 unit tests. 100% statement coverage. No golden JSON. No live calls. Includes a regression-proof embeddings test and a Responses-via-chat smoke test.
run/providers.go Factory registration. One import, one factory.Add.
run/lifecycle_test.go TestMain_HetznerProviderRegistration. Mirrors the kimicode test.
run/providers_test.go Adds hetzner to the dashboard-types lockstep list.
internal/providers/config_test.go Parser fixture entry plus a focused base-URL resolution test.
docs/providers/hetzner.mdx (new) Provider guide. Leads with the experimental warning. Includes model-ID provenance and passthrough caveats.
docs/providers/overview.mdx Table row plus a provider note covering model-ID source and passthrough-as-adapter-capability.
docs/docs.json Navigation entry after providers/kimicode.

Reviewer notes

  • No adapter overrides. Confirmed against the upstream Hetzner docs: standard SSE chunks, standard max_tokens, and the Bearer default. No SetHeaders, no AdaptChatRequest, no RequestMutator.
  • Embeddings returns a typed "not supported" error. The embedded adapter would handle /v1/embeddings; Hetzner doesn't expose one. The override matches the kilo pattern. The unit test asserts zero upstream requests via httptest, so a regression that forwards embeddings upstream fails deterministically instead of hitting the network.
  • Responses-via-chat is exercised by a test. TestResponses_TranslatesToChatCompletions proves the doc claim that /v1/responses is served through chat translation.
  • No hardcoded model list or rate-limit table. The live catalogue changed during the experiment. The guide directs readers to /v1/models and the official docs. The example model ID in the overview row carries a provenance note in the provider note.
  • Experimental status leads every surface. Guide top, overview row label, provider note.

Deliberately out of scope

These are conscious omissions while Hetzner's API is experimental. Any reviewer raising them should defer to the rationale below.

  • .env.template and config.example.yaml entries. No HETZNER_API_KEY, HETZNER_BASE_URL, HETZNER_MODELS rows. Operators set the env var directly; applyProviderEnvVars discovers the provider via HETZNER_API_KEY (asserted by the config test). Entries land when the API leaves experimental status.
  • Contract test fixture and recorded golden JSON. No tests/contract/hetzner_test.go, no testdata/hetzner/. Live fixture recording is out of scope while the API is experimental and changes. The provider package instead ships 12 Go unit tests with 100% statement coverage.
  • Embeddings support. Hetzner documents no /v1/embeddings endpoint. The provider overrides Embeddings with a typed error instead of forwarding.
  • Pricing and cost-table sync. Free while experimental. cost load-balancing cannot rank hetzner by price until upstream publishes pricing.
  • Dashboard UI changes, Helm chart changes. Out of scope by intent; provider is reachable via the factory and the existing dashboard surface.

Tests

go test ./internal/providers/hetzner/ -cover reports 100.0% statement coverage. go test ./... is green (80 packages, 0 FAIL). go build ./... is clean. gofmt -l clean on the touched files.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added experimental Hetzner provider support for OpenAI-compatible chat completions, streaming, Responses, model discovery, and request passthrough.
    • Added API-key configuration, custom endpoint support, and default passthrough availability.
    • Documented unsupported embedding capabilities and current provider limitations.
  • Documentation

    • Added a dedicated Hetzner provider guide and updated provider overview and navigation.
    • Added guidance on rate limits, retries, pricing, cost tracking, and model availability.

Mirror the kimicode pattern: wrap the shared openai.ChatCompatible adapter
behind a thin Registration/New/NewWithHTTPClient surface. Hetzner exposes
chat completions, model listing, and passthrough via OpenAI-compat at
https://inference.hetzner.com/api/v1. No embeddings endpoint is documented
upstream; the embedded adapter advertises the capability, but embedding
requests will fail at the provider.
Wire hetzner.Registration into defaultProviderFactory and assert it is
registered and instantiable. Add hetzner to the expected provider type
list kept in lockstep with the dashboard's Add Provider selector.
Add hetzner entry to testDiscoveryConfigs and a focused test that
applyProviderEnvVars discovers the type and resolves its default base
URL. .env.template and config.example.yaml are out of scope while
Hetzner's API is experimental.
New hetzner.mdx leads with the experimental warning and documents
configuration, runtime model discovery, rate limits (429, windows change
during the experiment), and free-while-experimental pricing. Overview
table gains a hetzner row and a provider note; docs.json gets the nav
entry. No model list or limit table is hardcoded — both moved during the
experimental period.
Mirror the kilo test depth (test-to-impl ratio ~4x) with no golden JSON
and no live API calls. Cover registration shape, both constructors (nil
HTTP client + zero hooks paths), Bearer auth on chat and stream, model
ID passthrough, /v1/models list, embeddings upstream-failure path, and
the optional interface guard matching kilo.
Review findings from PR #14:
- override Embeddings to return a typed "not supported" error instead
  of forwarding to the absent upstream /v1/embeddings (kilo precedent)
- add missing trailing newline to hetzner_test.go
- update hetzner.mdx to document the typed error
Address feedback from the second pr-review loop:
- run/providers_test.go: restore tabs lost during rebase conflict resolution
  (gofmt violation caught by the pre-commit hook)
- hetzner_test.go: harden TestEmbeddings_ReturnsUnsupportedError to assert
  zero upstream requests via httptest; a regression that forwards embeddings
  upstream fails deterministically instead of hitting the network
- hetzner_test.go: add TestResponses_TranslatesToChatCompletions so the
  "serves /v1/responses via chat" doc claim is exercised by a test
- hetzner.mdx: add a Note that the example model ID comes from the official
  Hetzner docs and may differ at read time (experimental catalogue)
… caveat

Move the two thread-answered round-2 findings into the docs so downstream
review bots on the upstream mirror do not re-raise them:
- overview.mdx provider note: name the example model ID's source (official
  Hetzner docs, 2026-08-17) and mark the passthrough check as adapter
  capability with unverified upstream tolerance
- hetzner.mdx: add a passthrough Note stating the forwarder is generic and
  arbitrary paths may 404/405 while the API is experimental

Poem

A rabbit hops through Hetzner’s route,
Chat and streams now flow throughout.
Models list and keys align,
Embeddings stop at the typed-error sign.
Experimental docs now glow,
While passthrough tests confirm the flow.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The documented default Hetzner passthrough experience is broken and should be corrected before merge.

There is one independent, verified P1 finding and it is not security-related, which maps to a score of 4.

Files Needing Attention: docs/providers/overview.mdx needs corrected passthrough guidance, unless the default provider allowlist is updated in internal/server/passthrough_support.go.

T-Rex T-Rex Logs

What T-Rex did

  • T-Rex produced a proof for the posted P1 finding.
  • T-Rex validated the proof by reviewing the focused Go HTTP validation source.
  • T-Rex validated the proof by inspecting the default Hetzner passthrough request output.

Comment thread docs/providers/overview.mdx
Three findings from upstream PR review bots, addressed in source:

- docs/providers/hetzner.mdx: drop the undocumented request-count limit
  claim (CodeRabbit verified only token-based limits are documented);
  state the actual 3M/60k per 60s and 500M/5M per 24h windows
- internal/providers/hetzner/hetzner_test.go: harden
  TestEmbeddings_ReturnsUnsupportedError with errors.As against
  *core.GatewayError so a plain error with the same text would fail
  the typed-contract assertion (CodeRabbit)
- internal/server/passthrough_support.go: add hetzner to the default
  ENABLED_PASSTHROUGH_PROVIDERS allowlist (greptile P1: provider matrix
  marked \xE2\x9C\x85 but default-configured gateway returned 400 on /p/hetzner/...)
- .env.template + docs/providers/overview.mdx + docs/providers/hetzner.mdx:
  document the default-allowlist inclusion
- internal/server/handlers_test.go: update the rejection-message
  expectation to include hetzner in the sorted allowlist
- internal/server/passthrough_support_test.go: add an assertion that
  the default allowlist contains hetzner (regression guard)
