Provider conformance

This harness keeps the services → agents → workflows lifecycle honest across the supported AI providers. It runs the same end-to-end scenarios against each configured provider and treats missing provider keys as an explicit skip, so the suite is safe for local development, forks, and scheduled CI.

What it exercises

go run ./internal/harness/provider-conformance fans out over the provider-facing agent test and the harnesses in internal/harness:

• agent — provider tool-call conformance through agent.Ask, including run metadata propagation.
• universe — service discovery plus agent tool calls over the real runtime.
• agent-flow — a workflow event that drives an agent to call services.
• plan-delegate — plan persistence plus agent-to-agent delegation and service calls.
• a2a-stream-fallback — A2A message/stream through the gateway, including fallback from unsupported provider streaming to the tool-calling Ask path while preserving run metadata.

The command also emits the registered provider capability matrix so the run shows which providers advertise model, image, video, and streaming support. Console output and summary artifacts label each harness with the phase it is proving (for example, model call + tool call, workflow event + tool call, or streaming fallback + tool call), so provider failures identify the failed lifecycle phase instead of only the provider name.

Local usage

Run the deterministic path with no secrets:

go run ./internal/harness/provider-conformance -providers mock

Run every live provider that has a key in the environment:

go run ./internal/harness/provider-conformance \
  -summary-json provider-conformance-summary.json \
  -summary-markdown provider-conformance-summary.md \
  -capabilities-markdown provider-capabilities.md

Provider keys are read from MICRO_AI_API_KEY or the provider-specific variable:

Provider	Secret / environment variable
Anthropic	ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
OpenAI	OPENAI_API_KEY
Gemini	GEMINI_API_KEY
Groq	GROQ_API_KEY
MiniMax	MINIMAX_API_KEY
Mistral	MISTRAL_API_KEY
Together	TOGETHER_API_KEY
AtlasCloud	ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY

Use -require-configured when you want a selected provider without a key to fail instead of skip. This is useful for manually checking that a required provider secret is actually wired into CI before relying on that provider as covered:

go run ./internal/harness/provider-conformance \
  -providers anthropic,openai \
  -require-configured

Scheduled CI behavior

The Harness (E2E) workflow runs on pushes and pull requests with deterministic mock LLMs, including provider-conformance -providers mock. On the hourly schedule and manual dispatch it also runs the live provider conformance job. A manual dispatch can narrow providers or harnesses, and can set require_configured=true to fail fast when an expected repository secret is missing; scheduled runs keep the safe default and report missing keys as skips. That job:

1. runs the same agent, universe, agent-flow, plan-delegate, and a2a-stream-fallback harness list,
2. reads the provider keys from repository secrets,
3. skips providers whose secrets are absent,
4. fails when any configured provider fails a harness, and
5. uploads JSON and Markdown coverage artifacts for the run.

The job also appends the Markdown summary and capability matrix to the GitHub Actions step summary, making configured, skipped, and failed provider coverage visible without downloading artifacts.

Adding a provider

To bring a new provider into scheduled conformance:

1. register its ai provider implementation and capability metadata,
2. add the provider name and key variable to providerEnv in main.go,
3. import the provider package in main.go,
4. pass the matching repository secret through .github/workflows/harness.yml, and
5. run go run ./internal/harness/provider-conformance -providers <name> \ -require-configured with a live key before opening the change.
