backends.conf now supports a top-level 'backend = name' line that
selects the default backend for new sessions. Lookup order:
1. backends.conf 'backend = ...'
2. OLLIE_BACKEND env var (fallback)
3. session-level backend= parameter (override)
No env file needed for backend/model config anymore.
Each backend is now configured via ~/.config/ollie/backends.conf:
[openrouter]
key = sk-or-v1-...
model = qwen/qwen3-235b-a22b
[anthropic]
key = sk-ant-...
Each backend knows its own default URL (openrouter → openrouter.ai/api,
anthropic → api.anthropic.com, etc). Only key and optional model needed.
Env vars (OLLIE_OPENAI_KEY, OLLIE_ANTHROPIC_KEY, etc) still work as
fallback for backward compatibility, but backends.conf is the canonical
config path going forward.
- Delete openAIName() (URL no longer determines backend identity)
- Delete geminiKey() (config handles fallback)
- Install template with mode 600 (contains API keys)
- Only install template if user hasn't created their own
- Remove all OLLIE_*_PATH vars (TOOLS_PATH, CFG_PATH, DATA_PATH, etc.)
Use XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ollie/* and XDG_DATA_HOME/ollie/* instead
- Replace OLLIE_<TAG>_LOG per-component logging with single OLLIE_LOG={level}
- Replace OLLIE_USAGE_LOG with XDG_DATA_HOME-based path
- Replace OLLIE_OLLAMA_URL with standard OLLAMA_HOST (or omit entirely)
- Rename protocol markers: OLLIE_LISTEN_READY → ListenReady, OLLIE_9P_OPEN → Open
- Remove freeloader hooks from agent configs
- Update sandbox YAMLs to use XDG paths instead of OLLIE_*_PATH tokens
- Update shell tools to use $(dirname "$0") fallback instead of OLLIE_TOOLS_PATH
- Update docs and prompts accordingly
Bedrock rejects requests containing toolUse/toolResult content blocks
without a corresponding toolConfig. When agents have zero tools loaded
(e.g., autoload disabled/failed), conversation history containing tool
interactions would cause 'toolConfig field must be defined' errors.
Add kiroStripToolBlocks() to remove tool-related content from messages
when len(tools) == 0, allowing requests to proceed without tool
definitions.
