Move the `_PORTAL_PROVIDERS` guard in `resolve_model_provider()` to run
BEFORE the `prefix == config_provider` strip branch. The guard was added
for NVIDIA (along with the Nous portal cases in #854 / #894) but was
placed after the strip, so it never fired when `config_provider == "nvidia"`
and the model id started with `nvidia/`.
For `model_id="nvidia/nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b"`,
`config_provider="nvidia"`:
- prefix = "nvidia", bare = "nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b"
- prefix == config_provider → True → strip branch returned bare name
- `_PORTAL_PROVIDERS` guard never reached
- bare "nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b" sent to NVIDIA NIM → HTTP 404
NIM requires the full namespaced path. The fix moves the portal guard
to run first, so all portal providers (Nous, OpenCode-Zen, OpenCode-Go,
NVIDIA NIM) always preserve the full `provider/model` id regardless of
whether the prefix happens to equal the provider name.
This also closes a latent symmetric bug for the Nous case if a
`nous/<model>` id ever existed in the catalog.
Test plan:
- New `tests/test_issue2177_nvidia_prefix_preservation.py` covers:
- nvidia/nemotron-... under nvidia (the reported case)
- cross-namespace qwen/ and meta/ under nvidia (regression pin)
- every static nvidia model in `_PROVIDER_MODELS` resolves to itself
- latent nous/<model> under nous (structural ordering pin)
- non-portal providers (anthropic) still strip — fix doesn't over-correct
- Existing portal-routing suites (test_nous_portal_routing.py,
test_issue895_894_nous_prefix.py) continue to pass.
- Full test suite: 5320 passed, 4 skipped, 3 xpassed.
