Error output
在 CC Switch 里启用/切换 Hermes provider，对 Hermes Desktop 不生效
English translation

Enabling or switching the Hermes provider in CC Switch does not take effect in Hermes Desktop.

Cause

Section titled “Cause”

In the report, the CC Switch interface showed that the Hermes provider was configured or enabled, but the top-level `model.provider` in `~/.hermes/config.yaml` remained the old `copilot`, so Hermes Desktop did not actually switch.

The maintainer explained that the root cause was the top-level `model.provider` missing `custom:` after switching, and said it is fully tracked in #5142. This report was therefore closed as a duplicate. The original post did not provide verifiable local fix steps.
