Previously, saving in the admin panel wrote a complete AI_MODELS_CONFIG
into settings.json, which (by overlay precedence) replaced any config
from .env or ai-models.json — admins lost their env-configured models.
The panel no longer writes AI_MODELS_CONFIG. Instead its providers are
merged with the env baseline at read time in loadRawServerModelsConfig,
and panel credentials go to ADMIN_-prefixed env vars wired up via
apiKeyEnv/baseUrlEnv so they never shadow standard vars. Env-based
providers now appear read-only in the panel, name clashes are rejected,
and a panel default overrides the env default. data/ is now gitignored.
Replace the provider credential fields and raw AI_MODELS_CONFIG JSON
textarea with a Models section mirroring the in-app model settings UI:
provider instance list with logos, credential fields per provider type,
model add/remove with suggestions, per-model connectivity test, and a
default-provider star.
On save the server derives everything the runtime needs into
settings.json: credential env vars (with _2 suffixes for multiple
instances of one provider), AI_MODELS_CONFIG, and AI_PROVIDER/AI_MODEL
for the default. Secrets round-trip as masked markers and are never
sent back to the browser. The general settings registry now only
covers non-provider settings (generation, access, features,
observability, quota).
- Provider options, labels, and base-URL placeholders now come from
PROVIDER_INFO instead of hand-copied lists (fixes SiliconFlow .com/.cn
placeholder drift; panel names now match the model-config dialog)
- Replace free-text subgroup strings + SUBGROUP_PROVIDERS reverse map
with a typed provider field on SettingDef
- Precompute SETTINGS_BY_GROUP and PROVIDER_SUBGROUPS at module level
- Merge justSaved into saveMessage, drop unused mainRef, hoist
fetchSettings out of the component, dedupe savedText logic
- Serialize from SETTINGS_REGISTRY directly; json validators in a map
instead of a hardcoded key check
- Make allowPrivateUrls a function so ALLOW_PRIVATE_URLS edits in the
admin panel apply without restart
- Move Quota & Rate Limits to the end of the settings page
- Add enable switches to Observability and Quota sections; default off
with fields grayed out, auto-on when any field is already configured
- Provider logos in credential rows (shared ProviderLogo component,
extracted from model-config-dialog)
- Scroll-spy active state in the sidebar nav
- Green success state in the save bar that clears after a few seconds
- Wider content column (max-w-6xl) for less wasted space on desktop
Settings saved in the panel are written to data/settings.json and
overlaid onto process.env, taking precedence over environment
variables and applying immediately without restart. Enable by setting
ADMIN_PASSWORD; on serverless platforms without persistent disk the
panel degrades to read-only.
