Cline Kanban ignores OpenAI-compatible provider config and falls back to default OpenAI endpoint
Setup:
- Provider: OpenAI-compatible (BYOK) configured in the VS Code extension
- Cline extension panel: works fine (minor false-positive token count inflation in chat, but functional)
- Cline TUI: also works fine, correctly picks up the OpenAI-compatible model I configured in the extension
The issue:
When I open Cline Kanban from my git repo, it redirects to the browser-based web UI as expected. But something goes wrong at the provider level. Kanban appears to ignore my OpenAI-compatible provider config and instead routes requests to the default OpenAI endpoint (api.openai.com). Since my API key belongs to a different provider, OpenAI rejects it with an `incorrect API key` error.
What I've tried:
- Looked through Cline extension settings for a Kanban-specific provider config, couldn't find one
- TUI reads the correct provider just fine, so the config itself seems valid
Questions:
- Is Kanban expected to inherit the provider/model from the VS Code extension settings, or does it have a separate config I'm missing?
- If it should inherit, is this a known bug where Kanban hard-codes the OpenAI endpoint?
- Is there a workaround, a config file, env variable, or flag I can set to point Kanban at my custom base URL?
Running it now while posting this shows openai-compatible provider is disabled. Any reason why? and when will it be enabled?
