Lightning AI as a Hermes model provider (--provider lightning, lightning-ai, lightningai): OpenAI-compatible gateway at https://lightning.ai/api/v1, models fetched live from /models. Disclosure — registers one model provider at import and nothing else (no tools, hooks, commands or threads); chat requests and the model list go to lightning.ai through Hermes' own client with LIGHTNING_API_KEY (or LIGHTNING_AI_API_KEY), optional LIGHTNING_BASE_URL overrides the endpoint; the plugin itself opens no connections, reads/writes no files and starts no processes.
ModelsPer-process throttle for Lightning AI (https://lightning.ai/api/v1) keeping LLM requests within the ~15 requests/min limit, using an in-memory token bucket. Gates only calls whose provider or base_url points at Lightning AI; no-op otherwise. Disclosure — registers one llm_execution middleware and nothing else; no network calls, files, or processes of its own.
