When the user's config uses a non-Anthropic provider with an Anthropic-compatible endpoint (e.g. MiniMax at https://api.minimax.io/anthropic), chat in the WebUI fails silently with APIConnectionError on every request, while the hermes CLI and messaging gateway work fine with the same config. Root cause: both api/routes.py and api/streaming.py constructed AIAgent using only (model, provider, base_url) from resolve_model_provider() and never passed api_key. When the base URL ends in /anthropic, AIAgent uses the anthropic_messages adapter, but only falls back to ANTHROPIC_TOKEN when provider == "anthropic" (a safety check to avoid leaking Anthropic credentials to third parties). For MiniMax and similar providers the effective key becomes "", and the auth failure surfaces as a generic "Connection error" after three retries. The CLI and gateway resolve the key via hermes_cli.runtime_provider.resolve_runtime_provider(), which reads MINIMAX_API_KEY (and similar) from ~/.hermes/.env. This patch does the same before creating the AIAgent in both chat paths. Fixes #77
