Cause (Documented platform behavior): Documented by OpenHands (software-agent-sdk#3532); only non-flash ids stick, so Canvas preselects gemini-2.5-pro.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Other atlas lanes hold generic Vertex 'Publisher Model ... not found' records; this cause (gemini-cli flash-id re-resolution) is distinct
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenHands/OpenHands/fd9145958e9e93bfbad3252fce7a69493e61215a/docs/ACP_AGENTS.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Doc notes gemini-cli 0.45.x silently remaps *-flash ids to its current default flash causing 404 'Publisher Model … was not found', recommends a non-flash id.
Search phrasings: Publisher Model was not found gemini cli flash; gemini-2.5-flash runs gemini-3-flash 404 vertex; openhands canvas gemini acp model not found
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Gemini turns fail with a Vertex 404 even though the chosen model exists in the project.
- Context
- Product: OpenHands Agent Canvas Component: Agent Canvas ACP agents (Gemini CLI on Vertex) Operation: Running Gemini CLI as ACP agent with a *-flash model id Affected versions: gemini-cli 0.45.x (per doc) Environment: unknown Trigger: gemini-cli 0.45.x resolves any *-flash id at generation time to its current default flash (e.g. gemini-2.5-flash ran gemini-3-flash), which the project may not serve.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [OpenHands Agent Canvas + Gemini CLI via ACP] 'Publisher Model … was not found' because gemini-cli re-resolves *-flash ids to its current default flash
Recommended action: Select a non-flash Gemini model id (e.g. gemini-2.5-pro).
Option: Select a non-flash Gemini model id (e.g. gemini-2.5-pro). [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Running Gemini CLI as ACP agent with a *-flash model id
Steps:
1. Settings → Agent → Model: choose a non-flash id
2. Retry the turn
Expected: The error no longer appears.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
