Use inline objects only when a fallback is not worth naming as a reusable preset. `fallbackModels` belongs under `agents.defaults`, not inside individual `modelPresets` entries.
Failover only runs when the primary provider returns a retryable model/provider error before any answer text has been streamed. Typical fallback cases include timeouts, connection errors, 5xx server errors, 429 rate limits, overloads, and quota/balance exhaustion. It does not run for malformed requests, authentication/permission errors, content filtering/refusals, or context-length/message-format errors.
Failover normally runs when the primary provider returns a retryable model/provider error before any answer text has been streamed. Stream-stall timeouts are the recovery exception: if the provider already emitted partial answer text and then stalls, nanobot closes the current stream segment and retries/fails over in a new segment. Typical fallback cases include timeouts, connection errors, 5xx server errors, 429 rate limits, overloads, and quota/balance exhaustion. It does not run for malformed requests, authentication/permission errors, content filtering/refusals, or context-length/message-format errors.
If fallback candidates use smaller `contextWindowTokens` values, nanobot builds context using the smallest window in the active chain so every candidate can receive the same prompt.
