Summary
Adds a README section explaining how to route cloud-provider traffic through an HTTP/HTTPS proxy on Windows, in both
cmdand PowerShell.Motivation
Node's built-in
fetch— used by every cloud LLM/search provider — ignoresHTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXYunless the process is started with the--use-env-proxyflag. In practice this means a user who sets:and then runs
atomic-agent runsees LLM requests fail withfetch failed, because the proxy variables are silently ignored by the fetch transport. The README previously had no guidance about this.Additionally:
socks5://URL is not understood by Node'sfetch(undici only speaks HTTP CONNECT), so asocks5://proxy value also fails withfetch failed.NO_PROXYis required so a localllama-serveron127.0.0.1is not routed through the proxy.Changes
README.md— new<details>block "Windows: proxy for cloud providers" under "Requirements & Configuration", containing:cmdexample (set NODE_OPTIONS=--use-env-proxy+HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY/NO_PROXY),$env:NODE_OPTIONS = "--use-env-proxy"+$env:HTTP_PROXY/$env:HTTPS_PROXY/$env:NO_PROXY),socks5://),curl, which reads the same proxy variables on its own.Verification
npm run lintandnpm testare unaffected (README only).
