# Phase 02-01: Replicate Provider Summary

**Replicate provider with model discovery via REST API, normalized to ProviderModel interface with self-registration**

## Performance

- **Duration:** 4 min
- **Started:** 2026-01-09T23:49:00Z
- **Completed:** 2026-01-09T23:53:00Z
- **Tasks:** 2
- **Files created:** 2

## Accomplishments
- Created Replicate provider implementing full ProviderInterface contract
- Built API route for server-side model fetching with API key authentication
- Implemented capability inference from model name/description
- Provider self-registers in registry when module is imported

## Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. **Task 1: Create Replicate provider implementation** - `ac10daf` (feat)
2. **Task 2: Create Replicate models API route** - `70d4c53` (feat)

## Files Created/Modified
- `src/lib/providers/replicate.ts` - Replicate provider with listModels, searchModels, getModel, isConfigured, getApiKey
- `src/app/api/providers/replicate/models/route.ts` - GET endpoint for model fetching with X-API-Key auth

## Decisions Made
- API key read from localStorage using existing provider settings pattern (node-banana-provider-settings key)
- Capability inference uses keyword matching (img2img, inpaint, controlnet → image-to-image; video, animate → video)
- generate() returns stub error - implementation deferred to Phase 3
- First page of results only - no pagination traversal for initial release

## Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

## Issues Encountered

None.

## Next Phase Readiness
- Replicate provider complete and ready for use
- Same pattern ready for fal.ai provider (02-02)
- Model caching to be added in 02-03
