"""Shared model-switching logic for CLI and gateway /model commands.

Both the CLI (cli.py) and gateway (gateway/run.py) /model handlers
share the same core pipeline:

  parse flags -> alias resolution -> provider resolution ->
  credential resolution -> normalize model name ->
  metadata lookup -> build result

This module ties together the foundation layers:

- ``agent.models_dev``            -- models.dev catalog, ModelInfo, ProviderInfo
- ``hermes_cli.providers``        -- canonical provider identity + overlays
- ``hermes_cli.model_normalize``  -- per-provider name formatting

Provider switching uses the ``--provider`` flag exclusively.
No colon-based ``provider:model`` syntax β€” colons are reserved for
OpenRouter variant suffixes (``:free``, ``:extended``, ``:fast``).
