Authentication is now opt-in rather than required.
Docs updated
Behavior
All the CLI commands are confirmed working without OPENARC_API_KEY set.
There are also clear error messages for all cases; if you set
--use-api-keybut haven't configured OPENARC_API_KEY, the server won't start. Also added logging on startup.Motivation:
I was trying to get Obsidian Copilot working but ran into some issues with authentication, and decided to make it optional instead of forking copilot. In the end I think I selected the wrong option in obsidian (lol).
Anyway, most other inference engines don't have this issue so in way we are overdue. OpenArc needs to just work everywhere.
Relevant to #75
