Defense-in-depth polish on top of the webhook listener before it becomes
a real attack surface once the pipeline starts creating subscriptions
and Graph starts POSTing to the configured public URL.
- Timing-safe clientState comparison. Previously used `==` on strings;
switches to hmac.compare_digest so a mismatch does not leak how many
leading characters matched. client_state is documented as a strong
shared secret (openssl rand -hex 32 in the setup docs), so a
timing-safe primitive is the right call.
- Split GET and POST handlers. Graph validates a subscription by sending
GET with validationToken in the query; anything else on GET is now a
400 so the endpoint cannot be probed or mistakenly used for data
exfil. Previously a bare GET fell through to the POST path and blew
up on request.json() with a confusing 400.
- Empty response bodies on success. 202 is returned with no body so
internal counters (accepted / duplicates / scheduled) do not leak to
any caller that can reach the endpoint; counters remain observable
via /health for operators. 403 on every-item-bad-clientState batches
(so forged POSTs stop retrying), 400 on malformed / unknown-resource
batches (sender configuration issue).
- Optional source-IP allowlist. New `allowed_source_cidrs` extra field
(list or comma-separated string) and `MSGRAPH_WEBHOOK_ALLOWED_SOURCE_CIDRS`
env var let operators restrict the webhook to Microsoft Graph's
published webhook source ranges in production. Empty = allow all,
preserving dev-tunnel / localhost workflows. Invalid CIDRs are
logged and ignored rather than crashing. Also gates the handshake
endpoint so disallowed IPs cannot probe it.
- Tests updated for the new response contract (empty-body 202,
auth-only 403, config-error 400) and extended to cover: bare GET
rejection, POST-with-validationToken handshake tolerance,
timing-safe compare actually invoked via hmac.compare_digest spy,
malformed body / missing value array, IP allowlist accept/reject
paths, handshake IP allowlist, invalid CIDR entries, comma-string
CIDR list parsing. 52/52 passed (was 40).
Full gateway suite: 5049 passed / 1 pre-existing failure in
test_discord_free_response (unrelated, reproduces on clean origin/main).
Route goal status notices through the platform adapter send API and register post-delivery callbacks so completed-goal notices appear after the final assistant response. Also cancel queued synthetic goal continuations on /goal pause and /goal clear while preserving normal queued user messages.
The May 5 refactor in d5357f816 made _message_thread_id_for_typing()
symmetric with _message_thread_id_for_send() by mapping the General
topic (thread id "1") to None upfront for both. That's correct for
sendMessage — Telegram rejects message_thread_id=1 on sends and the
topic must be omitted — but it's wrong for sendChatAction.
Observed behavior (confirmed via before/after Telegram wire traces):
Before d5357f816: thread_id=1 → message_thread_id=1 → bubble visible in General
After d5357f816: thread_id=1 → message_thread_id=None → no visible typing
Omitting message_thread_id on sendChatAction does NOT fall back to
the General topic's view in a forum-enabled supergroup; the bubble
ends up hidden from the client's General-topic pane entirely. For
any user on a forum-group, the typing indicator stopped appearing.
Fix: drop the symmetric "1 → None" mapping from the typing resolver.
sendMessage still maps 1 → None via _message_thread_id_for_send (that
side was never broken). The asymmetry is real and required by
Telegram's API — document it in the resolver docstring.
Partial revert of d5357f816; restores the behavior from 0cf7d570e
("fix(telegram): restore typing indicator and thread routing for
forum General topic"). Does not re-introduce the retry-without-thread
fallback that 41545f7ec scoped down for DM topics — with the resolver
fixed, the first call already hits the right wire shape.
Test updated from test_send_typing_general_topic_uses_none_thread_id
(which encoded the broken contract) to
test_send_typing_preserves_general_topic_thread_id, asserting the
single correct call with message_thread_id=1. 10 other tests in the
file untouched and passing.
Makes the in-tree QQ inline keyboards actually light up when the agent
blocks on a dangerous-command approval. Matches the cross-adapter
gateway contract already implemented by Discord, Telegram, Slack,
Matrix, and Feishu.
Gateway/run.py's _approval_notify_sync checks type(adapter).send_exec_approval
and falls back to a text prompt when it's missing. Without this wiring,
QQ users stared at plain '/approve' text even though the adapter shipped
button primitives.
### send_exec_approval(chat_id, command, session_key, description, metadata)
Matches the signature the gateway calls with. Builds an ApprovalRequest
(command_preview, description, timeout) and delegates to send_approval_request.
Uses the last inbound msg_id as reply_to so QQ accepts the passive
message. The 'metadata' parameter is accepted for contract parity but
intentionally unused — QQ doesn't have thread_id/DM-targeting overrides.
### send_update_prompt(chat_id, prompt, default, session_key, metadata)
Signature updated to match the cross-adapter contract used by
'hermes update --gateway' watcher. Renders a 'Update Needs Your Input'
prompt with the optional default hint and a Yes/No keyboard. Replaces
the earlier 3-arg helper that wasn't wired anywhere.
### Default interaction dispatcher
_default_interaction_dispatch() auto-registered as the adapter's
interaction callback in __init__. Routes:
- approve:<session_key>:<decision> → tools.approval.resolve_gateway_approval
Button → choice mapping:
allow-once → 'once'
allow-always → 'always'
deny → 'deny'
(QQ's 3-button mobile layout deliberately collapses 'session' + 'always'
into one button; /approve session text fallback remains available.)
- update_prompt:<answer> → atomic write of y/n to ~/.hermes/.update_response
(the detached 'hermes update --gateway' watcher polls this file)
- anything else → logged and dropped
Resolve exceptions are caught and logged — never propagate into the WS
loop. Callers can override via set_interaction_callback() to route
clicks elsewhere or pass None to drop them entirely.
### Net effect
QQ users now get native tap-to-approve UX on dangerous-command prompts
and update-confirmation prompts, without having to type /approve or /deny
as text. The adapter hooks into tools.approval the same way every other
button-capable platform does.
### Tests
14 new tests cover:
- Default callback installed on __init__
- send_exec_approval / send_update_prompt exist as class methods (so the
gateway's type-probe detects them)
- allow-once/always/deny each map to the correct resolve choice
- update_prompt:y / update_prompt:n each write atomically to the response
file (via monkeypatched get_hermes_home)
- Unknown button_data / empty button_data / resolve exceptions are harmless
- send_exec_approval honours last_msg_id reply-to and accepts metadata
- send_update_prompt delegates with correct content + keyboard
Full qqbot suite: 144 passed (72 pre-existing + 72 from this salvage arc).
Also ran tools/test_approval.py alongside — no regressions (276 passed
combined).

Follow-up to the previous commit:
- Add _is_loopback_host() helper covering 127.0.0.1, localhost, ::1,
ip6-localhost, ip6-loopback (case-insensitive). Empty/None host is
treated as non-loopback since unset usually means public default bind.
- Fix mixed-indent comment in the safety rail (comment now aligned with
the if-block) and collapse the nested-if into one condition.
- Add TestInsecureNoAuthSafetyRail covering rejection on 0.0.0.0, a LAN
IP, and empty host; allowance on 127.0.0.1/localhost; plus unit-level
parametrized coverage of _is_loopback_host for spellings we can't bind
in the hermetic test env (::1, ip6-localhost, ip6-loopback).
- Pin test_connect_starts_server + test_webhook_deliver_only defaults
to 127.0.0.1 so they keep passing under the new rail.
- Document the behavior in website/docs/user-guide/messaging/webhooks.md.
Following PR #21306 which added the new generic plugin-platform hooks,
update the three platform-authoring docs so plugin authors find them:
- website/docs/developer-guide/adding-platform-adapters.md: expand the
'What the Plugin System Handles Automatically' table with env-only
auto-enable + cron delivery + hermes-config UI entries rows. Add
three new sections — 'Env-Driven Auto-Configuration', 'Cron
Delivery', 'Surfacing Env Vars in hermes config' — covering the
hook signatures, plugin.yaml rich-dict format, and the
home_channel-key special case. Update the main register() example
to pass env_enablement_fn + cron_deliver_env_var inline so readers
see them on their first pass. Upgrade the PLUGIN.yaml snippet to
show bare-string + rich-dict + optional_env.
- website/docs/guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md: the thin platform
example in the build-a-plugin tour now includes env_enablement_fn
and cron_deliver_env_var, plus an optional_env block in the inline
plugin.yaml. Keeps pointing to the developer-guide page for the
full treatment.
- gateway/platforms/ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md: the in-repo reference
shallow-points at the docsite but now names the three new hooks
explicitly so contributors reading the source tree know what
they're for. Also adds teams + google_chat as reference
implementations alongside irc.
When a user replies while quoting another message, QQ sets
'message_type = 103' and pushes the referenced message's content +
attachments inside 'msg_elements[0]'. The old adapter ignored
msg_elements entirely, so:
- Bare quote-replies (no user text) surfaced nothing to the LLM.
- Quoted images/files/voice were never downloaded or described.
- Quoted voice messages specifically produced no transcript — the model
had no way to see what the user was referring to when saying 'about
this voice note…'.
This commit adds _process_quoted_context(d) which extracts msg_elements,
unions their attachments, and runs them through the SAME
_process_attachments pipeline as the main message body. Quoted voice
gets an STT transcript (tried via QQ's asr_refer_text first, then the
configured STT provider); quoted images get cached just like main-body
images; quoted files surface with their original filename intact (not
the CDN URL hash).
The quoted content is prepended to the user's text as a '[Quoted message]:'
block so the LLM sees the full referential context on one turn.
Images-only quotes surface a '[Quoted message]: (image)' marker so the
model knows an image was referenced even if no text came with it.
All four inbound handlers (_handle_c2c_message, _handle_group_message,
_handle_guild_message, _handle_dm_message) now call the helper uniformly
— one merge pattern, not four divergent implementations.
Filename preservation is carried by _process_attachments' existing
'[Attachment: {filename or ct}]' line; nothing else needed for that.
12 new tests under TestProcessQuotedContext and TestMergeQuoteInto cover:
- Non-quote messages short-circuit to empty
- message_type=103 with no msg_elements is harmless
- Text-only quotes render with '[Quoted message]:' prefix
- Voice attachments in the quote flow through STT
- File attachments in the quote preserve the original filename
- Image attachments surface cached paths + media types
- Images-only quote still emits a marker
- Multiple msg_elements are concatenated
- Malformed message_type values return empty
- _merge_quote_into prepends with a blank-line separator

The QQ Bot v2 API supports inline keyboards on outbound messages. When a
user taps a button, the platform dispatches an INTERACTION_CREATE
gateway event; the bot ACKs it via PUT /interactions/{id} and decodes
the button's data payload to route the click.
This commit adds:
New module gateway/platforms/qqbot/keyboards.py
- Inline-keyboard dataclasses (InlineKeyboard, KeyboardRow, KeyboardButton,
KeyboardButtonAction, KeyboardButtonRenderData, KeyboardButtonPermission)
that serialize to the JSON shape the QQ API expects.
- build_approval_keyboard(session_key) — 3-button layout:
✅ 允许一次 / ⭐ 始终允许 / ❌ 拒绝, all sharing group_id='approval'
so clicking one greys out the rest.
- build_update_prompt_keyboard() — Yes/No keyboard for update confirms.
- parse_approval_button_data() / parse_update_prompt_button_data() —
decode the button_data payload from INTERACTION_CREATE.
approve:<session_key>:<decision> (decision = allow-once|allow-always|deny)
update_prompt:<answer> (answer = y|n)
- build_approval_text(ApprovalRequest) — markdown renderer for the
surrounding message body (exec-approval and plugin-approval variants,
with severity icons 🔴/🔵/🟡).
- parse_interaction_event(raw) → InteractionEvent dataclass — normalizes
the nested raw payload (id / scene / openids / button_data / etc.).
Adapter changes (gateway/platforms/qqbot/adapter.py)
- _dispatch_payload routes INTERACTION_CREATE → _on_interaction.
- _on_interaction parses the event, ACKs via PUT /interactions/{id}, then
invokes a user-registered interaction callback. Exceptions from the
callback are caught and logged (never propagate into the WS loop).
- set_interaction_callback(cb) lets gateway wiring register a routing
handler that inspects button_data and resolves the corresponding
pending approval / update prompt.
- _send_c2c_text / _send_group_text now accept an optional keyboard kwarg
and append it to the outbound body.
- send_with_keyboard(chat_id, content, keyboard, reply_to=None) — public
helper that sends a single short message with a keyboard attached.
Does NOT chunk-split (a keyboard message has one interactive surface).
Guild chats are rejected non-retryably — they don't support keyboards.
- send_approval_request(chat_id, ApprovalRequest, reply_to=None) +
send_update_prompt(chat_id, content, reply_to=None) — convenience
wrappers over send_with_keyboard.
Tests
27 new unit tests under TestApprovalButtonData, TestUpdatePromptButtonData,
TestBuildApprovalKeyboard, TestBuildUpdatePromptKeyboard, TestBuildApprovalText,
TestInteractionEventParsing, and TestAdapterInteractionDispatch. Cover:
- Button-data round-trip (build → parse returns original session/decision)
- Keyboard JSON shape + mutual-exclusion group_id
- Exec vs plugin approval text templates + severity icons
- Interaction event parsing (c2c / group / guild scene codes)
- _on_interaction end-to-end: ACK invoked, callback receives parsed event,
callback exceptions are swallowed, missing id skips ACK, no registered
callback is harmless.
Full qqbot suite: 118 passed (72 existing + 19 chunked + 27 keyboards).

The v2 'single POST /v2/{users|groups}/{id}/files' upload path is capped
at ~10 MB inline (base64 'file_data' or 'url'). For larger files the QQ
platform provides a three-step flow:
1. POST /upload_prepare → upload_id + pre-signed COS part URLs
2. PUT each part to its COS URL → POST /upload_part_finish
3. POST /files with {upload_id} → file_info token
This commit adds a new gateway/platforms/qqbot/chunked_upload.py module
that implements the flow, wires it into QQAdapter._send_media for local
files (URL uploads keep the existing inline path), and introduces
structured exceptions so the caller can surface actionable error text:
- UploadDailyLimitExceededError (biz_code 40093002, non-retryable)
- UploadFileTooLargeError (file exceeds the platform limit)
Both carry file_name / file_size_human / limit_human so the model can
compose user-friendly replies instead of seeing opaque HTTP codes.
The part_finish 40093001 retryable-error loop respects the server-
provided retry_timeout (capped at 10 minutes locally) with a 1 s
polling interval. COS PUTs retry transient failures up to 2 times
with exponential backoff. complete_upload retries up to 2 times.
Covers files up to the platform's ~100 MB per-file limit; before this
the adapter silently rejected anything over ~10 MB.
19 new unit tests under TestChunkedUpload* cover the happy path,
prepare-response parsing, helper functions, part retries, COS PUT
retries, group vs c2c routing, and the structured-error mapping.

PairingStore.approve_code() didn't consult _is_locked_out(), so after
MAX_FAILED_ATTEMPTS bad approvals the lockout flag was set but a valid
code still got accepted — any pending code (legitimately issued or
attacker-obtained) could be approved during the 1-hour lockout window,
nullifying the brute-force protection.
- gateway/pairing.py: lockout check runs in approve_code() right after
_cleanup_expired, before the pending lookup. Returns None on lockout.
- tests/gateway/test_pairing.py: test_lockout_blocks_code_approval pins
the regression — reporter's exact reproducer (generate valid code,
exhaust attempts with WRONGCODE, try to approve valid code) must
return None and leave is_approved == False. Also pins recovery: once
lockout expires, the still-pending code approves normally.
- hermes_cli/pairing.py: _cmd_approve distinguishes the two None cases.
On lockout, prints 'Platform locked out... clears in N minutes. To
reset sooner, delete the _lockout:<platform> entry from
_rate_limits.json' instead of the misleading 'Code not found or
expired' message. 29/29 pairing tests pass; E2E-verified with
reporter's exact Python reproducer.
Widen the platform-plugin surface so plugins can self-configure from env
vars and opt into cron home-channel delivery without editing core files.
Closes the scope gap that forced every new platform (Google Chat, Teams,
IRC, future) to either touch gateway/config.py, cron/scheduler.py, and
hermes_cli/config.py or live without env-only setup.
Changes:
- gateway/platform_registry.py: two new optional PlatformEntry fields.
- env_enablement_fn: () -> Optional[dict]. Called during
_apply_env_overrides BEFORE the adapter is constructed. Returned
dict fields are merged into PlatformConfig.extra; the special
'home_channel' key (if present) becomes a proper HomeChannel
dataclass on the PlatformConfig.
- cron_deliver_env_var: name of the *_HOME_CHANNEL env var. When set,
the plugin platform is a valid cron deliver= target and cron reads
the env var to resolve the default chat/room ID.
- gateway/config.py: the existing plugin-platform enable pass at the
bottom of _apply_env_overrides now calls env_enablement_fn and seeds
extras/home_channel. No effect on plugins that don't set the new
field.
- cron/scheduler.py: _is_known_delivery_platform and
_resolve_home_env_var fall through to the registry when the platform
isn't in the hardcoded built-in sets. New _iter_home_target_platforms
helper iterates built-ins + plugin platforms for the deliver=origin
fallback.
- gateway/run.py: _home_target_env_var now consults the new resolver so
plugin-defined home channels work for non-cron call sites too.
- hermes_cli/config.py: new _inject_platform_plugin_env_vars() sibling
of _inject_profile_env_vars(). Scans plugins/platforms/*/plugin.yaml
at import time and contributes entries to OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS so
'hermes config' UI discovers them. Supports bare-string and rich-dict
requires_env entries plus a new optional_env list for non-required
vars (home channels, allowlists).
All additions are strictly opt-in. Existing plugins (IRC, Teams,
image_gen, memory) see zero behavior change until they adopt the new
fields.
Mirrors the Slack `allowed_channels` feature (PR #7401) and Discord's
`allowed_channels` (PR #7044) across the remaining group-capable platforms.
All five platforms (Slack + Discord + the four added here) now follow the
same pattern: primary config via config.yaml, env-var fallback as an escape
hatch — matching the project policy that .env is for secrets only and
behavioral settings belong in config.yaml.
Also fixes a duplicate `slack` key in DEFAULT_CONFIG introduced by PR
#7401 (the later entry silently overwrote `allowed_channels`, `require_mention`,
and `free_response_channels` at dict-literal evaluation time).
Platforms added:
- Telegram: `telegram.allowed_chats` (env alias: `TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_CHATS`)
- Mattermost: `mattermost.allowed_channels` (env alias: `MATTERMOST_ALLOWED_CHANNELS`)
- Matrix: `matrix.allowed_rooms` (env alias: `MATRIX_ALLOWED_ROOMS`)
- DingTalk: `dingtalk.allowed_chats` (env alias: `DINGTALK_ALLOWED_CHATS`)
Mattermost and Matrix previously had NO config.yaml bridging for any of
their gating settings; this PR adds `load_gateway_config` bridges for them
(Mattermost gets require_mention + free_response_channels + allowed_channels;
Matrix gets allowed_rooms on top of its existing bridges for require_mention
and free_response_rooms).
Semantics identical everywhere:
- Empty = no restriction (fully backward compatible).
- Non-empty = hard whitelist: non-listed chats are silently ignored,
even when the bot is @mentioned.
- DMs bypass the check entirely.
DEFAULT_CONFIG merges the duplicate `slack` block and adds new `mattermost`
and `matrix` blocks so all gating settings surface in defaults.
Not included: Feishu (has its own per-chat `chat_rules` system that covers
this use case differently), WhatsApp (already has `group_allow_from` via
`group_policy: allowlist`), pure-DM platforms (Signal, SMS, BlueBubbles,
Yuanbao — no group concept).
Extracts the three try/write_runtime_status/except-log blocks into a
shared _write_runtime_status_safe() helper. On failure, logs the first
occurrence per (platform, context) at warning level and downgrades
subsequent failures to debug — so a persistently broken status dir
(permissions, ENOSPC) doesn't spam the log on every Telegram reconnect.
Uses getattr for the _status_write_logged set so test harnesses that
skip __init__ (object.__new__(Adapter)) don't break.
Follow-up to the salvaged #21158.
Per repo policy, ~/.hermes/.env is for secrets only. Guild IDs are
behavioral configuration, not secrets. Replacing the
DISCORD_DM_ROLE_AUTH_GUILD env var from the original fix with
discord.dm_role_auth_guild in config.yaml.
- New module-level _read_dm_role_auth_guild() helper reads
hermes_cli.config.read_raw_config()['discord']['dm_role_auth_guild'].
Fails closed on any parse error (safe default = DM role-auth off).
- DEFAULT_CONFIG['discord'] gains dm_role_auth_guild: '' with a comment
documenting the opt-in.
- Tests patch hermes_cli.config.read_raw_config directly (via the
_set_dm_role_auth_guild helper) instead of setenv/delenv. 12 tests
in test_discord_roles_dm_scope pass; no env var involvement.
- Docstring + module docstring + comments updated to reference
discord.dm_role_auth_guild.
- E2E verified with real imports across 6 scenarios: unset, int,
string, garbage, zero, and (crucially) env-var-only-no-config all
return None except the valid int/string cases. Env var has zero
effect — policy compliance confirmed.
Sibling-site fix: _evaluate_slash_authorization was the fourth
_is_allowed_user caller and didn't pass guild/is_dm through, so slash
interactions would take the DM branch regardless of whether they came
from a guild channel. Now reads interaction.guild + in_dm and forwards.
Also updates test_discord_slash_auth fixture (_make_interaction) so
the SimpleNamespace guild mock has a get_member(uid)->None method —
required by the new guild-scoped fallback path in _is_allowed_user.
Tests exercising positive role paths still work via user.roles.
Three new regression tests in test_discord_roles_dm_scope:
- Slash DM + role in mutual public guild → rejected
- Slash in guild B + role only in guild A → rejected
- Slash in guild B + role in guild B → allowed (positive control)
368 Discord tests pass. test_discord_free_channel_skips_auto_thread
also fails on clean main (pre-existing, unrelated to this fix).
The initial DISCORD_ALLOWED_ROLES implementation (#11608, merged from #9873)
scans every mutual guild when resolving a user's roles. This allows a
cross-guild DM bypass:
1. Bot is in both public server A and private server B.
2. User holds the allowed role in server A only.
3. User DMs the bot. The role check finds the role in A and authorizes the
DM, granting access as if the user were trusted in server B.
Fix:
- DMs (no guild context) disable role-based auth by default. Opt-in via
DISCORD_DM_ROLE_AUTH_GUILD=<guild_id> restricts role lookup to one
explicitly-trusted guild.
- Guild messages check roles only in the originating guild
(message.guild), never in other mutual guilds.
- Reject cached author.roles when the Member came from a different guild
than the current message.
Backwards compatibility:
- DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS behavior is unchanged (still works in both DMs
and guild messages).
- Deployments that rely on roles in guild channels continue to work;
role checks are now strictly scoped to that guild.
- Deployments that intentionally want role-based DM auth can opt into a
single trusted guild via DISCORD_DM_ROLE_AUTH_GUILD.
Tests: 9 new regression guards in
tests/gateway/test_discord_roles_dm_scope.py covering the bypass path,
the opt-in path, cross-guild guild-message bypass, and backwards-compat
user-ID paths. 47/47 discord-auth tests pass.

Fixes#19124
When a kanban worker subprocess exits rc=0 but its task is still in
status='running', the agent almost certainly answered the task
conversationally without calling kanban_complete or kanban_block. The
dispatcher used to classify this as a generic crash and respawn, which
loops forever on small local models (gemma4-e2b q4 etc.) that keep
returning clean but unproductive output.
Dispatcher changes:
- The waitpid reap loop at the top of dispatch_once now records each
reaped child's raw exit status in a bounded module registry
(_recent_worker_exits, TTL 600s, size cap 4096).
- _classify_worker_exit distinguishes clean_exit / nonzero_exit /
signaled / unknown using os.WIFEXITED / WIFSIGNALED.
- detect_crashed_workers consults the classification when a worker
is found dead. clean_exit → protocol_violation event + immediate
circuit-breaker trip (failure_limit=1). Everything else keeps the
existing crashed-event + counter behavior.
- DispatchResult.auto_blocked now includes protocol-violation trips.
Gateway fix (Bug A in #20894):
- gateway.run._notify_active_sessions_of_shutdown snapshots
self.adapters with list(...) before iterating. adapter.send() can
hit a fatal-error path that pops the adapter from the dict, which
was raising 'RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration'
during shutdown.
Regression tests:
- test_detect_crashed_workers_protocol_violation_auto_blocks verifies
rc=0 + still-running → status=blocked on first occurrence with
protocol_violation + gave_up events and NO crashed event.
- test_detect_crashed_workers_nonzero_exit_uses_default_limit verifies
non-zero exits keep the existing 2-strike behavior.
Closes#20894.
Skills that produce large/lossless images (e.g. info-graph, where a
rendered JPG is 1-2 MB) currently lose quality in Telegram delivery
because `_IMAGE_EXTS` membership routes the file through
`send_multiple_images` → `sendMediaGroup`, which Telegram's server
re-encodes to JPEG @ 1280px max edge. The original bytes only survive
when the file goes through `send_document`, which the dispatch tables
in three places (`_process_message_background`, `_deliver_media_from_response`,
and the `send_message` tool's telegram path) only reach for files
whose extension is NOT in `_IMAGE_EXTS`.
This commit adds an `[[as_document]]` directive that mirrors the
existing `[[audio_as_voice]]` shape: a skill emits the directive once
in its response, and every image-extension MEDIA: file in that response
is delivered via `send_document` instead of `send_multiple_images` /
`sendPhoto`. The directive is detected at the dispatch sites (which see
the raw response) and the directive string is stripped from the
user-visible cleaned text in `extract_media` so it never leaks.
Granularity is intentionally all-or-nothing per response, matching
[[audio_as_voice]]'s scope. Skills that need fine control can split into
two responses.
Verified the targeted use case: info-graph emits
信息图已生成（...）
[[as_document]]
MEDIA:/tmp/info-graph-x/infographic.jpg
→ Telegram receives `infographic.jpg` via sendDocument, original 1MB
JPEG bytes preserved, no recompression. Forwarding and download
filenames stay clean (`infographic.jpg`).
Tests: +3 cases in TestExtractMedia covering directive strip, isolation
from voice flag, and coexistence with [[audio_as_voice]]. All
113 pre-existing media/extract/send tests pass.

Follow-up on top of Zyproth's session-source cache: swap the unbounded
dict for an OrderedDict with a 512-entry LRU cap so long-running
gateways can't accumulate stale entries for dead sessions forever.
- self._session_sources is now an OrderedDict
- _cache_session_source() move_to_end + popitem(last=False) above cap
- _get_cached_session_source() move_to_end on hit (LRU read bump)
- restart_test_helpers.py wires OrderedDict + _session_sources_max
Flip the default for HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS from off to on so the redactor
already wired into send_message_tool, logs, and tool output actually runs
on a fresh install.
- agent/redact.py: env-var default "" → "true"
- hermes_cli/config.py: DEFAULT_CONFIG security.redact_secrets True;
two config-template comments rewritten
- gateway/run.py + cli.py: startup log / banner warning when the user
has explicitly opted out, so the downgrade is visible in agent.log
and at CLI banner time
- docs/reference/environment-variables.md: description reconciled
- tests: flipped the default-pin, restructured the force=True
regression test to explicit-false instead of unset
Users who need raw credential values (redactor development) can still
opt out via security.redact_secrets: false in config.yaml or
HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS=false in .env.
Closes#17691.
Addresses #20785 (short-term output-pipeline recommendation).
aiohttp ClientTimeout uses BaseTimerContext which calls
loop.call_later() internally. When invoked via
asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe() from cron jobs, this
triggers "Timeout context manager should be used inside a task"
errors, causing message delivery failures.
Replace all direct ClientTimeout usage with asyncio.wait_for():
- _upload_ciphertext: CDN upload (120s timeout)
- _download_bytes: CDN download (configurable timeout)
- _download_remote_media: remote media fetch (30s timeout)
Also set total=None on _send_session to disable aiohttp built-in
timeout, and change trust_env=True to False to bypass proxy for
WeChat CDN connections.
Follow-up on top of @kyan12's PR #20888 — same feature, cleaner shape,
wider coverage.
Changes:
- Drop the synthetic '[System note: ...]' in the internal MessageEvent.
The existing _is_resume_pending branch in _handle_message_with_agent
(run.py ~L13738) already injects a reason-aware recovery system note
on the next turn. With kyan's text in place the model saw two stacked
system notes. Now the event text is empty and the existing injection
path owns the wording.
- Drop SessionStore.list_resume_pending() as a new public method. The
filter is 8 lines inline in _schedule_resume_pending_sessions() —
one caller, no other pluggability need.
- Add 'restart_interrupted' to the auto-resume reason set. That's the
reason SessionStore.suspend_recently_active() stamps on sessions
recovered from a crash/OOM/SIGKILL (no .clean_shutdown marker).
Previously those sessions had to wait for a real user message to
auto-resume; now they continue automatically at startup like
drain-timeout interruptions do.
- Reasons live in a _AUTO_RESUME_REASONS frozenset at class scope so
future reasons (e.g. 'manual_resume_request') can be opted in with
one line.
Test coverage added:
- drain-timeout + crash-recovery both scheduled
- stale entries skipped (outside freshness window)
- suspended entries skipped (suspended > resume_pending)
- originless entries skipped (no routing target)
- disallowed reasons skipped (graceful forward-compat)
E2E verified end-to-end with a real on-disk SessionStore: 2 eligible
sessions scheduled, 2 ineligible skipped, empty-text internal events
delivered to the adapter.

When display.cleanup_progress (or display.platforms.<plat>.cleanup_progress)
is true, the gateway deletes tool-progress bubbles, long-running '⏳ Still
working...' notices, and status-callback messages after the final response
is delivered successfully. Currently effective on adapters that implement
delete_message (Telegram); silently no-ops elsewhere. Off by default.
Failed runs skip cleanup so bubbles stay as breadcrumbs.
Minimal plumbing: base.py's existing post_delivery_callback slot now chains
new registrations onto any existing callback (with per-callback exception
isolation) rather than clobbering. Stale-generation registrations are
rejected so they can't step on a fresher run's callbacks. This lets the
cleanup callback coexist with the background-review release hook already
registered on the same slot.

When terminal.backend is docker, inbound documents uploaded via messaging
platforms (Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu, Email, etc.) are cached at a host
path under ~/.hermes/cache/documents, but the container sandbox only sees them
at the auto-mounted /root/.hermes/cache/documents path.
This PR adds to_agent_visible_cache_path() in tools/credential_files.py (the
natural sibling to get_cache_directory_mounts()) and calls it at the
document-context-injection site in gateway/run.py so the agent always receives
a path it can open directly, matching the mount layout already established
by get_cache_directory_mounts() (#4846).
Scope: only Docker backend for now; other backends use different mount
semantics and are left unchanged until verified.
Fixes#18787
Two follow-ups on top of helix4u's slash-command sync hardening:
- Only suppress exceptions that are actually Discord 429 rate limits
(discord.RateLimited, HTTPException with status 429, or a clearly
rate-limit-named duck type). Arbitrary failures that happen to expose
a retry_after attribute now re-raise to the outer handler instead of
silently swallowing a cooldown.
- Move the sync-state JSON under $HERMES_HOME/gateway/ so the home root
stops collecting ad-hoc runtime files.
Added a test verifying unrelated exceptions don't get misclassified as
rate limits.
Extend the gateway_restart_notification flag to cover
_notify_active_sessions_of_shutdown — the message that fires just
before drain ("⚠️ Gateway restarting — Your current task will be
interrupted. Send any message after restart and I'll try to resume
where you left off.") sent to active sessions and home channels.
Same operator/end-user reasoning: on a Slack workspace shared with
end users, "Gateway restarting" reads as "the bot is broken" — the
operator should be able to suppress it consistently with the other
two lifecycle pings rather than having a partial opt-out.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds an opt-out toggle on PlatformConfig that gates both restart
lifecycle pings: the "♻ Gateway restarted" message sent to the chat
that issued /restart, and the "♻️ Gateway online" home-channel
startup notification. Defaults to True so existing deployments are
unaffected.
The motivating split is operator vs. end-user surfaces: a back-channel
like Telegram should keep these pings, while a Slack workspace shared
with end users should not surface gateway lifecycle noise.

- Remove dead metadata.get('reply_to') fallback in _send_raw_message;
nothing in the codebase ever sets 'reply_to' inside a metadata dict —
the key only appears as a top-level send_voice() keyword argument
- Simplify _status_thread_metadata construction in run.py to use a
single dict literal instead of create-then-mutate pattern; the
or-{} guard was dead since source.thread_id implies _progress_thread_id
is also set for Feishu
- Add yuqian@zmetasoft.com to AUTHOR_MAP for contributor attribution
Route Feishu topic progress, status, approval, stream, and fallback messages through threaded replies by preserving the originating message id as the reply target. Add regressions for tool progress topic metadata and Feishu metadata-driven reply routing.
Replaces the per-directory shadow-repo design with a single shared shadow
git store at ~/.hermes/checkpoints/store/. Object DB is now deduplicated
across every working directory the agent has ever touched; a dozen
worktrees of the same project cost near-zero in additional disk.
Why
---
Pre-v2 design had three compounding problems that let ~/.hermes/checkpoints/
grow to multi-GB on active machines:
1. Each working directory got its own full shadow git repo — no object
dedup across projects or across worktrees of the same project.
2. _prune() was a documented no-op: max_snapshots only limited the
/rollback listing. Loose objects accumulated forever.
3. Defaults: enabled=True, auto_prune=False — users paid the disk cost
without ever asking for /rollback.
Field report on a single workstation: 847 MB across 47 shadow repos,
mostly redundant clones of the hermes-agent source tree.
Changes
-------
- tools/checkpoint_manager.py: full rewrite. Single bare store, per-project
refs (refs/hermes/<hash>), per-project indexes (store/indexes/<hash>),
per-project metadata (store/projects/<hash>.json with workdir +
created_at + last_touch). On first v2 init, any pre-v2 per-directory
shadow repos are auto-migrated into legacy-<timestamp>/ so the new
store starts clean. _prune() now actually rewrites the per-project ref
to the last max_snapshots commits and runs git gc --prune=now. New
_enforce_size_cap() drops oldest commits round-robin across projects
when the store exceeds max_total_size_mb. _drop_oversize_from_index()
filters any single file larger than max_file_size_mb out of the snapshot.
- hermes_cli/checkpoints.py: new 'hermes checkpoints' CLI
(status / list / prune / clear / clear-legacy) for managing the store
outside a session.
- hermes_cli/config.py: flipped defaults — enabled=False, max_snapshots=20,
auto_prune=True. Added max_total_size_mb=500, max_file_size_mb=10.
Tightened DEFAULT_EXCLUDES (added target/, *.so/*.dylib/*.dll,
*.mp4/*.mov, *.zip/*.tar.gz, .worktrees/, .mypy_cache/, etc.).
- run_agent.py / cli.py / gateway/run.py: thread the new kwargs through
AIAgent and the startup auto_prune hooks.
- Tests rewritten to match v2 storage while keeping backwards-compat
coverage for the pre-v2 prune path (per-directory shadow repos under
base/ are still swept correctly for anyone mid-migration).
- Docs updated: user-guide/checkpoints-and-rollback.md explains the
shared store, new defaults, migration, and the new CLI;
reference/cli-commands.md documents 'hermes checkpoints'.
E2E validated
-------------
- Legacy migration: pre-v2 shadow repos auto-archived into legacy-<ts>/.
- Object dedup: two projects with an identical shared.py blob resolve to
7 total objects in the store (v1 would have stored the blob twice).
- max_snapshots=3 actually enforced: after 6 commits, list shows 3.
- Orphan prune: deleting a project's workdir + 'hermes checkpoints prune
--retention-days 0' removes its ref, index, and metadata; GC reclaims
the objects.
- max_file_size_mb=1 excludes a 2 MB weights.bin while keeping the
tracked source code files.
- hermes checkpoints {status,prune,clear,clear-legacy} all work from the
CLI without an agent running.
Breaking / migration
--------------------
No in-place data migration — legacy per-directory shadow repos are moved
into legacy-<timestamp>/ on first run. Old /rollback history is still
accessible by inspecting the archive with git; run
'hermes checkpoints clear-legacy' to reclaim the space when ready. Users
relying on /rollback must now set checkpoints.enabled=true (or pass
--checkpoints) explicitly.
- Fix /compact → /compress in context-overflow tips (closes#20020)
- Evict cached agent after session hygiene and /compress so system
prompt refreshes with current SOUL.md, memory, and skills
- Restore memory authority across compaction: change 'informational
background data' to 'authoritative reference data' in memory block
and SUMMARY_PREFIX, with backward-compatible regex

PR #17121 boundary marker fix already merged to main (2eef395e1).
PR #9262 user-message anchoring already on main via _ensure_last_user_message_in_tail().
Reduces SSE event rate ~500/turn → ~20/turn via 50ms text-delta batching in
_dispatch(), which eliminates markdown re-render storms on Open WebUI. Also:
- Trim tool_call.arguments in the response.completed event to 100KB
(prevents silent hangs on 848KB+ single-line SSE events).
- Catch-all exception handlers in _write_sse_responses() + _write_sse_chat_completion()
emit a proper error chunk instead of TransferEncodingError from incomplete
chunked encoding when the agent crashes mid-stream.
- MAX_REQUEST_BYTES 1MB → 10MB; pass client_max_size to aiohttp Application to
avoid silent 400s on truncated request bodies for long conversations.
Salvage of #17552 (api_server portion only). The contrib/openwebui-filter/

a client-side user-installable add-on and doesn't need to live in the repo;
dropped here. Closes#17537.

The dispatch_once function already accepts a max_spawn parameter but the
gateway was calling it without passing any value, effectively ignoring
the configuration. This change reads kanban.max_spawn from config.yaml
and passes it through, allowing users to limit concurrent kanban tasks.
This prevents resource exhaustion scenarios where kanban dispatcher
spawns too many parallel workers on constrained hardware.
Salvage of #11350. Kept:
- Code: add an explicit /voice join Choice in the slash UI (runner accepts both 'join' and 'channel' but only 'channel' was in autocomplete).
- Docs: Server Members Intent is conditional (only needed if DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS contains usernames); SSRC → user_id mapping uses the voice websocket SPEAKING opcode, not the Members intent.
Dropped from the original PR:
- HERMES_DISCORD_VOICE_PACKET_DUMP — this env var doesn't exist on main (it was in a different PR that isn't merged).
- DISCORD_PROXY docs — already documented on current main.
- DISCORD_ALLOW_MENTION_* docs — already on main.
- "barge-in mode" rewrite — current main actually does pause the listener during TTS (VoiceReceiver.pause() at discord.py:192); there is no barge_in_guard/barge_in_rms on main.

Mirror _message_thread_id_for_typing() with _message_thread_id_for_send():
both now map the General forum topic (thread id "1") to None upfront.
That removes the need for the retry-without-thread fallback in send_typing()
entirely — if _message_thread_id_for_typing() returns a non-None value, it's
a real user-created topic and falling back to the root chat is never correct.
If Telegram rejects the typing action (e.g. topic deleted mid-session), we
swallow it at debug level instead of bleeding the indicator into All Messages.
Updates the General-topic typing regression test to assert the new single-call
contract.
Fix three regressions introduced by PR #18370 (lazy session creation):
1. _finalize_session() uses stale session_key after compression (#20001)
2. session_key not synced after auto-compression in run_conversation (#20001)
3. pending_title ValueError leaves title wedged forever (#19029)
4. Gateway silently swallows null responses when agent did work (#18765)
5. One-time cleanup for accumulated ghost compression continuations (#20001)
Changes:
- tui_gateway/server.py: _finalize_session() now uses agent.session_id
(falls back to session_key when agent is None). Refactor
_sync_session_key_after_compress() with clear_pending_title and
restart_slash_worker policy flags. Call it post-run_conversation()
to sync session_key after auto-compression. Add ValueError handler
to pending_title flush.
- gateway/run.py: Extract _normalize_empty_agent_response() helper that
consolidates failed/partial/null response handling. Surfaces user-facing
error when agent did work (api_calls > 0) but returned no text.
- hermes_state.py: Add finalize_orphaned_compression_sessions() — marks
ghost continuation sessions as ended (non-destructive, preserves data).
- cli.py: One-time startup migration for orphaned compression sessions.
Test changes:
- tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py: Update pending_title ValueError test
for post-#18370 architecture (title applied post-message, not at create).
- tests/test_lazy_session_regressions.py: 14 new regression tests covering
all fixed paths.
The Telegram/Discord /model pickers currently call
list_authenticated_providers(), which returns every provider whose
credentials resolve locally and every model in its curated snapshot.
Two failure modes fall out:
- OpenRouter rows can include IDs the live catalog no longer carries.
- Provider rows can surface with zero callable models (e.g. a slug
whose credential pool entry exists but has nothing behind it).
list_picker_providers() wraps the base function and post-processes the
result so the interactive picker only shows models the user can
actually select:
- OpenRouter's models come from fetch_openrouter_models() (live-catalog
filtered against the curated OPENROUTER_MODELS snapshot).
- Rows with an empty models list are dropped, except custom endpoints
(is_user_defined=True with an api_url) where the user may enter
model ids manually.
- All other fields pass through unchanged.
The gateway /model handler switches to the new helper for the
interactive picker payload only. Typed /model <name> and the text
fallback list stay on list_authenticated_providers() so nothing is
hidden from power users or platforms without a picker.
Covered by nine focused unit tests in
tests/hermes_cli/test_list_picker_providers.py.

Salvages @Es1la's PR #13632 — a non-numeric timestamp in the persisted
feishu dedup state crashed adapter startup with ValueError/TypeError
from the unguarded float() call. Wrap the float() conversion in
try/except; skip the bad key and keep loading the rest.
The original PR also restructured existing TestDedupTTL tests to use
tempfile.TemporaryDirectory + HERMES_HOME patching — that was
test-hygiene scope creep unrelated to the bug. Kept only the
malformed-timestamp fix and added a focused regression test.
Feishu post-type 'md' elements do not render markdown tables.
When table content is sent as post (triggered by **bold** matching
_MARKDOWN_HINT_RE), the message appears blank on the client.
Add _MARKDOWN_TABLE_RE to detect markdown table syntax and force
text mode for table content, ensuring it is visible as plain text.
After PR #13725 replaced the module-level _LOCK_DIR/_LOCK_FILE constants
with a dynamic _get_lock_paths() helper, the xdist-isolation fixture
needs to patch the function instead of the removed constants.
- scheduler.py: Replace static _hermes_home with dynamic _get_hermes_home() function
to support profile switching at runtime (HERMES_HOME override)
- scheduler.py: Replace static _LOCK_DIR/_LOCK_FILE with _get_lock_paths() function
for profile-aware lock path resolution
- feishu.py: Add receive_id_type detection (oc_/ou_ -> open_id, else chat_id)
to fix Feishu API '[230001] ext=invalid receive_id' error for user DMs

and then kick off a graceful restart. This is unwanted behaviour:

operations on the checkout end up with their chat interrupted and
the current message dropped every time HEAD moves, with no way to
opt out.
If an operator really needs the old protection against stale

* feat(i18n): add display.language for static message translation (zh/ja/de/es)
Adds a thin-slice i18n layer covering the highest-impact static user-facing
messages: the CLI dangerous-command approval prompt and a handful of gateway
slash-command replies (restart-drain, goal cleared, approval expired, config
read/save errors).
Out of scope (stays English): agent responses, log lines, tool outputs,
slash-command descriptions, error tracebacks.
Infrastructure:
- agent/i18n.py: catalog loader, t() helper, language resolution
(HERMES_LANGUAGE env var > display.language config > en)
- locales/{en,zh,ja,de,es}.yaml: ~19 translated strings per language
- display.language in DEFAULT_CONFIG (hermes_cli/config.py)
Tests:
- tests/agent/test_i18n.py: 21 tests covering catalog parity, placeholder
parity across locales, fallback behavior, env-var override, alias
normalization, missing-key graceful degradation.
Docs:
- website/docs/user-guide/configuration.md: display.language entry plus a
short section explaining scope so users don't expect agent responses to
translate via this knob.
Widens @Krionex's PR #16933 fix to cover the second bug class at the sibling
site. natural mode used to pass env values through int() before the PR
caught mis-typed values crashing the gateway; custom mode had the exact
same bug one branch away (HERMES_HUMAN_DELAY_MIN_MS=oops in custom mode
still crashed). Same try/except/fallback pattern, scoped to the two
int() calls that feed random.uniform().
When context compression rotates the agent's session_id to a new
child session, the API server was still returning the stale parent
session_id in the X-Hermes-Session-Id response header.
This caused external clients to keep sending the old session_id,
loading uncompressed parent history instead of the compressed
continuation.
Fix: _run_agent() now includes the effective session_id in its
result dict, and the response header uses it instead of the
original provided session_id.
* feat(api-server): X-Hermes-Session-Key header for long-term memory scoping
API Server integrations (Open WebUI, custom web UIs) can now pass a stable
per-channel identifier via X-Hermes-Session-Key that scopes long-term memory
(Honcho, etc.) independently of the transcript-scoped X-Hermes-Session-Id.
This matches the native gateway's session_key / session_id split: one stable
key per assistant channel, many independent transcripts that rotate on /new.
- _create_agent and _run_agent accept gateway_session_key and pass it to
AIAgent(gateway_session_key=...), which is already honored by the Honcho
memory provider (plugins/memory/honcho/client.py resolve_session_name).
- New shared helper _parse_session_key_header applies the same API-key
gate, control-character sanitization, and a 256-char length cap as the
existing session-id header.
- All three agent endpoints honor the header: /v1/chat/completions,
/v1/responses, /v1/runs. JSON and SSE responses echo it back.
- /v1/capabilities advertises session_key_header so clients can
feature-detect.
Closes#20060.

WeCom doesn't pad base64 aeskey, causing Python strict mode decode failure
on media/image/file messages. Add automatic padding before base64 decode:
aes_key + '=' * ((4 - len(aes_key) % 4) % 4).
Salvages the AES padding fix from @chengoak's PR #17040. The SSRF whitelist
entry for a private COS bucket hostname was dropped as it belongs in user
config, not the built-in trusted-private-IP-hosts list. The debug-level
full-body info log was dropped to avoid logging potentially sensitive
message content at INFO level.
The YAML-to-env-var bridge in load_gateway_config() mapped every Discord
and Telegram config key (require_mention, auto_thread, reactions, etc.)
except reply_to_mode. Users setting discord.reply_to_mode or
telegram.reply_to_mode in ~/.hermes/config.yaml got no effect — the
adapter only read the env var, which nothing populated from YAML.
Add the missing bridge for both platforms, following the existing pattern.
Top-level <platform>.reply_to_mode preferred, falls back to
<platform>.extra.reply_to_mode, env var never overwritten. Handles YAML
1.1 bare `off` → Python False coercion.
This is a re-submission of the work from #9837 and #13930, which both

discover_fallback_ips() filtered out any DoH-resolved IP that also appeared
in the system resolver's answer set, on the assumption that the system IP
was unreachable. When DoH and system DNS agreed (a common case), the
function returned the hardcoded _SEED_FALLBACK_IPS list instead — and on
networks where those seed addresses are not routable, the Telegram fallback
transport had nothing usable to retry against and polling failed.
Drop the system_ips exclusion so DoH-confirmed IPs are preserved regardless
of system DNS overlap. The TelegramFallbackTransport already tries the
primary path first via system DNS, then falls through to the IP-rewrite
path on connect failure; including the same IP in both lanes lets a
transient primary failure recover via the explicit IP route instead of
escalating to seed addresses.
Update the two tests that codified the old exclusion to reflect the new,
inclusion-by-default behaviour.

* fix(agent): stateful streaming scrubber for reasoning-block leaks (#17924)
Per-delta _strip_think_blocks ran at _fire_stream_delta and destroyed
downstream state. When MiniMax-M2.7 / DeepSeek / Qwen3 streamed a tag
split across deltas (delta1='<think>', delta2='Let me check'), the
regex case-2 match erased delta1 entirely, so CLI/gateway state
machines never learned a block was open and leaked delta2 as content.
Raw consumers (ACP, api_server, TTS) had no downstream defense at all.
Replace the per-delta regex with a stateful StreamingThinkScrubber
that survives delta boundaries:
- Closed <tag>X</tag> pairs always stripped (matches _strip_think_blocks
case 1).
- Unterminated open at block boundary enters a block; content
discarded until close tag arrives. At end-of-stream, held
content is dropped.
- Orphan close tags stripped without boundary gating.
- Partial tags at delta boundaries held back until resolved.
- Block-boundary rule (start-of-stream, after \n, or
whitespace-only since last \n) preserves prose that mentions
tag names.
Reset at turn start alongside the existing context scrubber; flush at
turn end so a benign '<' held back at end-of-stream reaches the UI.
E2E-verified on live OpenRouter->MiniMax-m2 streams: closed pairs
strip cleanly, first word of post-block content is preserved, pure
content passes through unchanged. Stefan's screenshot case (#17924)
— 'Let me check' getting chopped to ' me check' — no longer happens.
Final _strip_think_blocks calls on completed strings (final_response,
replay, compression) are preserved; only the streaming per-delta call
site switched to the scrubber.
After PR #20105 (dispatcher skips ready tasks whose assignee fails
``profile_exists()`` to prevent the orion-cc/orion-research crash
loop), the gateway and CLI emit a spurious "kanban dispatcher stuck:
ready queue non-empty for N consecutive ticks but 0 workers spawned"
warning every 5 minutes on multi-lane setups where the queue is
steadily full of human-pulled work assigned to terminal lanes.
The warn is intended to catch real failure modes (broken PATH,
missing venv, credential loss for a real Hermes profile). On a
multi-lane host it fires forever even though everything is healthy:
the dispatcher correctly chose not to spawn, and there is nothing
for the operator to fix.
Changes:
* ``DispatchResult`` gains a ``skipped_nonspawnable`` field
(separate from ``skipped_unassigned``) so callers can distinguish
"task missing an owner — operator should route it" from "task
owned by a control-plane lane — terminal will pull it".
* ``dispatch_once`` routes the ``not profile_exists(assignee)`` skip
into the new bucket (was lumped into ``skipped_unassigned``).
* New helper ``has_spawnable_ready(conn)`` returns True iff at least
one ready+assigned+unclaimed task in the DB has an assignee that
maps to a real Hermes profile. Falls back to legacy "any
ready+assigned" when ``profile_exists`` is unimportable so degraded
installs still surface the original warn.
* The gateway dispatcher (``gateway/run.py``) and the CLI standalone
daemon (``hermes_cli/kanban.py``) both swap their cheap
``ready_nonempty`` probe to use ``has_spawnable_ready``. Stuck-warn
now fires only when there is genuine spawnable work the dispatcher
failed to start.
* CLI dispatch output prints ``Skipped (non-spawnable assignee —
terminal lane, OK)`` for visibility without alarm.
Tests:
* New ``has_spawnable_ready`` cases (empty queue, terminal-lane
only, mixed real+terminal).
* New ``test_dispatch_skips_nonspawnable_into_separate_bucket``
verifies the bucketing change.
* Updated ``test_dispatch_skips_unassigned`` to assert no
cross-leak.
* Added ``all_assignees_spawnable`` fixture in
``tests/hermes_cli/conftest.py`` and threaded it through dispatcher
tests that use synthetic assignees ("alice", "bob"). PR #20105
(the parent commit) silently broke 8 such tests by routing those
assignees into ``skipped_nonspawnable`` instead of spawning; this
PR repairs them as part of the same code area.
Verified locally: 246/246 kanban-suite tests pass.

Add EMAIL_ALLOWED_USERS check in EmailAdapter._dispatch_message()
to silently discard emails from senders not in the allowlist. This
prevents the adapter from creating thread context and dispatching a
MessageEvent for unauthorized senders, which could race with the
gateway authorization check and result in SMTP replies being sent
despite the handler returning None.
Test: tests/gateway/test_email.py::TestDispatchMessage::test_non_allowlisted_sender_dropped
Test: tests/gateway/test_email.py::TestDispatchMessage::test_allowlisted_sender_proceeds
Test: tests/gateway/test_email.py::TestDispatchMessage::test_empty_allowlist_allows_all
The stale-code self-check (Issue #17648) used sentinel-file mtimes to
decide whether the gateway survived a `hermes update` with stale
`sys.modules`. That signal false-positives on any write to the
sentinel files — including agent-driven edits during Hermes-on-Hermes
dev sessions. Telling the agent to patch `run_agent.py` would flip
the check to True on the next user message and force a gateway
restart even though no update happened.
Switch the signal to `git rev-parse HEAD`. Agent file edits don't
move HEAD; `hermes update` (git pull) always does. Reading .git/HEAD
directly (no subprocess) with a 5s cache keeps the overhead negligible
on bursty chats. Non-git installs short-circuit to False — the
stale-modules class can't occur without a git-backed update path, so
there's nothing to detect.
The legacy `_compute_repo_mtime` helper is kept but unused by
detection, reserved as a fallback hook for future pip-install update
paths.
- _read_git_head_sha(): resolves HEAD across main checkout, worktree
(follows `gitdir:` + `commondir` pointers), and packed-refs layouts.
- _current_git_sha_cached(): per-runner 5s SHA cache.
- _detect_stale_code(): boot SHA vs current SHA, returns False when
either is unavailable.
- Tests cover all four layouts, the agent-edits-don't-trigger
regression, and cache behavior.
Refs #17648.
Four production-readiness additions to topic mode:
1. /topic off — clean disable path. Flips telegram_dm_topic_mode.enabled
to 0 and clears telegram_dm_topic_bindings for this chat. Previously
users had to edit state.db with sqlite3 to turn the feature off.
Idempotent: calling /topic off when the chat was never enabled
returns a friendly no-op message.
2. /topic help — inline usage printed in the DM so users don't have to
visit docs to discover /topic off, /topic <session-id>, etc.
3. Authorization gate. /topic mutates SQLite side tables and flips the
root DM into a lobby, so the action must be authorized. Now calls
self._is_user_authorized(source); unauthorized DMs get a refusal
instead of activation. Defense in depth on top of the gateway's
existing pre-route auth.
4. BotFather screenshot debounce. A user repeatedly running /topic
while Threads Settings is still disabled would previously re-upload
the same screenshot every time. Now rate-limited to one send per
5 minutes per chat. /topic off resets the counter so re-enabling
starts fresh.
Command-def args hint updated: /topic [off|help|session-id].
Docs:
- New /topic subcommands table at the top of the multi-session section
- Disable instructions updated to recommend /topic off first, with the
raw SQL fallback kept for bulk cleanup
- Under-the-hood list extended with the capability-hint debounce and
the authorization gate
Tests (6 new):
- /topic help returns usage and doesn't create topic tables
- /topic off disables mode AND clears bindings
- /topic off is idempotent when never enabled
- Unauthorized users get refusal, no tables created
- Capability-hint debounce is per-chat
- /topic off resets both lobby and capability debounce counters
All 402 targeted tests pass. Full gateway sweep: 4809/4810
(pre-existing test_teams::test_send_typing unrelated).
Five follow-ups to topic mode based on integration audit:
1. ON DELETE CASCADE on telegram_dm_topic_bindings.session_id. Session
pruning (manual /delete, auto-cleanup, any future prune job) would
have thrown 'FOREIGN KEY constraint failed' for sessions bound to a
topic. Migration bumped to v2, rebuilds the bindings table in place
if FK lacks CASCADE. Idempotent; only runs once per DB.
2. Never auto-rename operator-declared topics. If an operator has
extra.dm_topics configured AND a user runs /topic, messages in those
pre-declared topics would previously trigger auto-rename and silently
mutate operator config. _rename_telegram_topic_for_session_title now
early-returns when _get_dm_topic_info returns a dict for this
(chat_id, thread_id). Uses class-based lookup (not hasattr) so
MagicMock test fixtures don't accidentally trip the guard.
3. General topic handling. Telegram's General (pinned top) topic in a
forum-enabled private chat may send messages with message_thread_id=1
or omit thread_id entirely depending on client. Both are now treated
as the root lobby, not a topic lane. Prevents users from
accidentally burning a session on the General topic.
4. Debounce the root-lobby reminder. 30-second cooldown per chat so a
user who forgets topic mode is enabled and types ten messages in the
root gets one reminder, not ten. Explicit command replies
(/new-in-lobby, /topic <session-id>) still land every time.
5. Docs: added under-the-hood invariants for the above, plus a
Downgrade section explaining that rolling back to a pre-/topic
Hermes build leaves the DB tables orphaned but harmless — DMs just
revert to native per-thread isolation.
Tests:
- test_operator_declared_topic_is_not_auto_renamed
- test_general_topic_is_treated_as_root_lobby
- test_lobby_reminder_is_debounced_per_chat
- test_binding_survives_session_deletion_via_cascade
- test_migration_rebuilds_v1_binding_table_with_cascade_fk
Validated: 4803/4804 tests pass (tests/gateway/ + tests/test_hermes_state.py).
Sole failure is a pre-existing test_teams::test_send_typing flake
unrelated to this PR.
Follow-up on @EmelyanenkoK's feat: add Telegram DM topic-mode sessions.
Three issues:
1. Split-brain session state. After get_or_create_session() returned a
SessionEntry for a topic lane, the handler was mutating
.session_id in place to the binding's target, but never persisting
the switch through SessionStore. The sessions.json session_key →
session_id map kept pointing at the lane's natural id; any reader
that reloaded from disk saw the wrong id. Fixed by routing through
SessionStore.switch_session(), which _save()s the mapping and ends
the old session in SQLite like /resume does.
2. /new inside a topic was a one-message no-op. Reset created a new
session but left the telegram_dm_topic_bindings row pointing at the
old session_id, so the next message's binding lookup switched right
back. Now _handle_reset_command rebinds the topic to the new
session_id after reset.
3. is_telegram_session_linked_to_topic and
list_unlinked_telegram_sessions_for_user both called
apply_telegram_topic_migration() on read, contradicting the PR's
own invariant that migration only runs on explicit /topic opt-in.
They now tolerate missing topic tables and return empty/False.
Also: _telegram_topic_mode_enabled() now only treats True as enabled
(not any truthy return), so test fixtures with MagicMock session_db
don't accidentally flip every DM into lobby mode — this was breaking
4 pre-existing test_status_command tests.
Tests:
- New regression: /new inside a topic must update the binding row
(test_new_inside_telegram_topic_rewrites_binding_to_new_session).
- _make_runner now stubs switch_session so existing restore tests
still exercise the new code path.
Validated end-to-end with real SessionDB + SessionStore:
readers on fresh DB don't create topic tables; enable creates them;
binding override persists across SessionStore restart; /new rebinds
and the new id survives a restart.

Prevents pre-existing TWILIO_PHONE_NUMBER or SMS_WEBHOOK_URL values in
the outer test environment from leaking into the assertion context.

Broadens the existing fallback (previously only fired for
Photo_invalid_dimensions) to cover every send_photo exception class:
rate limits, corrupt file markers, format edge cases. The expected
dimension case still logs at INFO (document is the right path); all
other cases log at WARNING with exc_info so they're visible in logs.
If send_document itself fails, we still fall back to the base adapter's
text-only 'Image: /path' rendering as a last resort.
Salvage of #15837 — original PR author QifengKuang proposed the broader
try/except-style fallback. Adapted to keep the existing INFO-vs-WARNING
log split for dimension errors (the expected case).

When run_conversation encounters a non-retryable client error (401, 400,
etc.), it returns a dict with failed=True instead of raising. The gateway's
_run_and_close only branched on exceptions, so it always emitted run.completed
even for failed runs — clients could not distinguish success from failure.
Inspect the result dict before emitting: if failed=True, emit run.failed
with the error message; otherwise emit run.completed as before. The existing
except Exception path is unchanged for genuine programming errors.
Fixes#15561
Adds first-class board support to kanban so users can separate unrelated
streams of work (projects, repos, domains) into isolated queues. Single-
project users stay on the 'default' board and see no UI change.
Isolation model
---------------
- Each board is a directory at `~/.hermes/kanban/boards/<slug>/` with
its own `kanban.db`, `workspaces/`, and `logs/`. The 'default' board
keeps its legacy path (`~/.hermes/kanban.db`) for back-compat — fresh
installs and pre-boards users get zero migration.
- Workers spawned by the dispatcher have `HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD` pinned in
their env alongside the existing `HERMES_KANBAN_DB` /
`HERMES_KANBAN_WORKSPACES_ROOT` pins, so workers physically cannot see
other boards' tasks.
- The gateway's single dispatcher loop now sweeps every board per tick;
per-tick cost is a few extra filesystem stats.
- CAS concurrency guarantees are preserved per-board (each board is its
own SQLite DB, same WAL+IMMEDIATE machinery as before).
CLI
---
hermes kanban boards list|create|switch|show|rename|rm
hermes kanban --board <slug> <any-subcommand>
Board resolution order: `--board` flag → `HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD` env →
`~/.hermes/kanban/current` file → `default`. Slug validation is strict:
lowercase alphanumerics + hyphens + underscores, 1-64 chars, starts with
alphanumeric. Uppercase is auto-downcased; slashes / dots / `..` /
control chars are rejected so boards can't name their way out of the
boards/ directory.
Passive discoverability: when more than one board exists, `hermes kanban
list` prints a one-line header ("Board: foo (2 other boards …)") so
users who stumble across multi-project never have to hunt for the
feature. Invisible for single-board installs.
Dashboard
---------
- New `BoardSwitcher` component at the top of the Kanban tab: dropdown
with all boards + task counts, `+ New board` button, `Archive`
button (non-default only). Hidden entirely when only `default` exists
and is empty — single-project users never see it.
- New `NewBoardDialog` modal: slug / display name / description / icon
+ "switch to this board after creating" checkbox.
- Selected board persists to `localStorage` so browser users don't
shift the CLI's active board out from under a terminal they left open.
- New `?board=<slug>` query param on every existing endpoint plus a
new `/boards` CRUD surface (`GET /boards`, `POST /boards`,
`PATCH /boards/<slug>`, `DELETE /boards/<slug>`,
`POST /boards/<slug>/switch`).
- Events WebSocket is pinned to a board at connection time; switching
opens a fresh WS against the new board.
Also fixes a pre-existing bug in the plugin's tenant / assignee
filters: the SDK's `Select` uses `onValueChange(value)`, not
native `onChange(event)`, so those filters silently didn't work.
New `selectChangeHandler` helper wires both signatures.
Tests
-----
49 new tests in `tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_boards.py` covering:
slug validation (valid / invalid / auto-downcase), path resolution
(default = legacy path, named = `boards/<slug>/`, env var override),
current-board resolution chain (env > file > default), board CRUD +
archive / hard-delete, per-board connection isolation (tasks don't
leak), worker spawn env injection (`HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD`,
`HERMES_KANBAN_DB`, `HERMES_KANBAN_WORKSPACES_ROOT` all point at the
right board), and end-to-end CLI surface.
Regression surface: all 264 pre-existing kanban tests continue to pass.
Live-tested via the dashboard: created 3 boards (default,
hermes-agent, atm10-server), created tasks on each via both CLI
(`--board <slug> create`) and dashboard (inline create on the Ready
column), confirmed zero cross-board leakage, confirmed `BoardSwitcher`
+ `NewBoardDialog` work end-to-end in the browser.
The contributor's PR silently swallowed ValueError from
SessionDB.set_session_title() with bare except Exception: pass.
Users typing /new <title> with an already-in-use title got an
untitled session and no feedback.
Changes:
- cli.py: catch ValueError from both sanitize_title() and
set_session_title(); print the error and mark the session
untitled in the banner (never echo the rejected title back).
- gateway/run.py: append a warning note to the reset reply on
title rejection; reflect the accepted title in the header.
- Add regression tests for the duplicate-title path in CLI and
gateway.
Also map exx@example.com -> @exxmen in scripts/release.py.
Allow users to start a fresh session and immediately set its title by
passing a name to /new (or /reset):
/new Refactor auth module
Changes:
- hermes_cli/commands.py: add args_hint='[name]' to /new command
- cli.py: parse title argument in process_command(), pass to new_session()
- cli.py: new_session() accepts title=None, sets title via SessionDB
- gateway/run.py: _handle_reset_command() parses title, sets on new entry
- gateway/session.py: reset_session() accepts optional display_name
- tests: add test_new_session_with_title, test_reset_command_with_title,
test_new_command_in_help_output
All 36 affected tests pass.
Telegram's send_photo has dimension limits (sum of width+height <= 10000px).
When sending large screenshots or tall images, the API returns
'Photo_invalid_dimensions' error.
Fix: Catch this specific error in send_image_file() and automatically
fallback to send_document() which has no dimension limits (only 50MB size).
This is similar to the existing 5MB URL fallback (commit 542faf22) but
handles local files with dimension issues instead of URL size issues.
When DISCORD_IGNORE_NO_MENTION is true (default), the bot ignores
messages without @mention. However, this check ran before evaluating
free_response_channels, so messages in free-response channels were
wrongly dropped unless they contained a mention.
This change adds a carve-out: if the message lands in a channel that
is configured as a free response channel (or its parent category is),
the ignore-no-mention rule is skipped.
Also removes the unconditional skip_thread for free response channels
so that auto_thread still creates threads there unless explicitly
disabled via DISCORD_NO_THREAD_CHANNELS.
Quick commands of type "alias" that target built-in slash commands
(e.g. /h -> /model) were processed too late in _handle_message — after
the if-canonical=="model" checks. This meant alias expansion never
reached the target handler and fell through to the LLM as raw text.
Two fixes:
1. Move the quick_commands block before built-in dispatch so alias
targets (like /model) hit the correct handler after expansion.
2. Extract bare command name from target_command via .split()[0] to
feed _resolve_cmd() correctly (was using the full arg-string).
The on_processing_start hook fired a reaction emoji (👀) on every
inbound Signal message before run.py's _is_user_authorized check.
This meant contacts not in SIGNAL_ALLOWED_USERS would see the bot
react to their messages even though Hermes silently dropped them —
leaking the presence of the bot and causing confusing UX.
Two changes to gateway/platforms/signal.py:
1. Read SIGNAL_ALLOWED_USERS into self.dm_allow_from in __init__
(mirrors the group_allow_from pattern already in place).
2. Add _reactions_enabled(event) — two-gate check:
- SIGNAL_REACTIONS=false/0/no disables reactions globally
- If SIGNAL_ALLOWED_USERS is set, only react to senders in
the allowlist (skips unauthorized contacts)
Both on_processing_start and on_processing_complete now call this
guard before sending any reaction.
Telegram already has an equivalent _reactions_enabled() guard
(controlled by TELEGRAM_REACTIONS). This brings Signal to parity.
The old CWD heuristic was fooled by:
1. TERMINAL_CWD persisted to .env by `hermes config set terminal.cwd`
2. Inherited TERMINAL_CWD from parent hermes processes
3. Only resolved when config had a placeholder value (not explicit paths)
Fix:
- load_cli_config() unconditionally uses os.getcwd() for local backend
- TERMINAL_CWD always force-exported in CLI mode (overrides stale values)
- Gateway sets _HERMES_GATEWAY=1 marker so lazy cli.py imports don't clobber
- Remove terminal.cwd from config-set .env sync map (prevents re-poisoning)
- Clarify setup wizard label as 'Gateway working directory'
Closes#19214
Users commonly place `require_mention: true` at the top level of
config.yaml alongside `group_sessions_per_user`, expecting it to gate
Telegram group messages. The key was silently ignored because the
config loader only checked `yaml_cfg["telegram"]["require_mention"]`.
When `require_mention` is found at the top level and no telegram-specific
value is set, the fix now:
- adds it to platforms_data["telegram"]["extra"] so _telegram_require_mention()
picks it up via the primary config.extra path
- sets TELEGRAM_REQUIRE_MENTION env var for the secondary fallback path
A telegram-specific value (telegram.require_mention) still takes
precedence over the top-level shorthand.
Also corrects telegram.md: bare /cmd without @botname is rejected when
require_mention is enabled; only /cmd@botname (bot-menu form) passes.
Fixes#3979
Deduplicate exact and near-exact Discord voice STT transcripts per guild/user over a short window to avoid duplicate delayed agent replies.
Adds regression tests for exact and near-duplicate voice transcript suppression.
/goal was silently broken outside the classic CLI.
TUI: /goal was routed through the HermesCLI slash-worker subprocess,
which set the goal row in SessionDB but then called
_pending_input.put(state.goal) — the subprocess has no reader for that
queue, so the kickoff message was discarded. No post-turn judge was
wired into prompt.submit either, so even a manual kickoff would not
continue the goal loop. Intercept /goal in command.dispatch instead,
drive GoalManager directly, and return {type: send, notice, message}
so the TUI client renders the Goal-set notice and fires the kickoff.
Run the judge in _run_prompt_submit after message.complete, surface
the verdict via status.update {kind: goal}, and chain the continuation
turn after the running guard is released.
Gateway: _post_turn_goal_continuation was gated on
hasattr(adapter, 'send_message'), but adapters only expose send().
That branch was dead on every platform — users never saw
'✓ Goal achieved', 'Continuing toward goal', or budget-exhausted
messages. Replace the dead call with adapter.send(chat_id, content,
metadata) and drop a broken reference to self._loop.
Tests:
- tests/tui_gateway/test_goal_command.py — full /goal dispatch matrix
(set / status / pause / resume / clear / stop / done / whitespace)
plus regressions for slash.exec → 4018 and 'goal' staying in
_PENDING_INPUT_COMMANDS.
- tests/gateway/test_goal_verdict_send.py — locks in the adapter.send
path for done / continue / budget-exhausted and verifies the hook
no-ops when no goal is set or the adapter lacks send().
When /new is issued while an agent is actively processing, the confirmation response was never sent to the user because cancel_session_processing() was called before _send_with_retry(). Task cancellation side effects could silently drop the response.
Fix: reorder to send the response BEFORE cancelling the old task. Add logging at the send point (matching the pattern at line 2800 in _process_message_background) so future failures are visible.
Closes: #18912
suspend_recently_active() was unconditionally setting suspended=True on
startup, causing get_or_create_session() to wipe conversation history on
every restart. Change to set resume_pending=True instead, so sessions
auto-resume while still allowing stuck-loop escalation after 3 failures.
SlackAdapter.connect() overwrote self._handler, self._app, and
self._socket_mode_task without closing the prior AsyncSocketModeHandler
first. If connect() was called a second time on the same adapter (e.g.
during a gateway restart or in-process reconnect attempt), the old Socket
Mode websocket stayed alive. Both the old and new connections received
every Slack event and dispatched it twice — producing double responses
with different wording, the same bug that affected DiscordAdapter (#18187,
fixed in #18758).
Fix: add a close-before-reassign guard at the start of the connection
setup path, mirroring the guard DiscordAdapter.connect() already has.
When self._handler is None (fresh adapter, first connect()) the block is
a harmless no-op. Scoped to the handler/app fields only — no behavior
change for any path that does not call connect() twice.
Fixes#18980
When send_message tool is called from inside a running gateway, the
_run_async bridge spawns a worker thread with a separate event loop.
send_weixin_direct then reuses the live adapter's aiohttp session
which was created on the gateway's main loop. aiohttp's TimerContext
checks asyncio.current_task(loop=session._loop) and sees None because
we're executing on the worker thread's loop → raises 'Timeout context
manager should be used inside a task'.
Fix: skip the live-adapter shortcut when the session belongs to a
different event loop, falling through to the fresh-session path.
Two mitigations for the CLOSE_WAIT accumulation reported against QQ Bot
+ Feishu on macOS behind Cloudflare Warp.
1. Shared httpx.Limits helper (gateway/platforms/_http_client_limits.py).
Every long-lived platform adapter now constructs httpx.AsyncClient
with max_keepalive_connections=10 and keepalive_expiry=2.0, vs httpx's
default of unbounded keepalive pool and 5.0s expiry. On macOS/Warp the
default 5s window let idle keepalive sockets sit in CLOSE_WAIT long
enough for seven persistent adapters (QQ Bot, WeCom, DingTalk, Signal,
BlueBubbles, WeCom-callback, plus the transient Feishu helper) to
compound to the 256-fd ulimit. Tunable via
HERMES_GATEWAY_HTTPX_KEEPALIVE_EXPIRY and
HERMES_GATEWAY_HTTPX_MAX_KEEPALIVE env vars.
2. whatsapp.send_typing aiohttp leak. The call was
'await self._http_session.post(...)' with no 'async with' and no
variable capture — the ClientResponse went out of scope unclosed,
holding its TCP socket in CLOSE_WAIT until GC. Fixed by wrapping in
'async with'. This was the only bare-await aiohttp leak in the
gateway/tools/plugins tree per audit; all other aiohttp sites use
the context-manager pattern correctly.
The underlying reporter also saw Feishu SDK (lark-oapi) connections in
CLOSE_WAIT — those are inside the SDK and out of our direct control, but
tightening httpx keepalive across adapters reduces the aggregate pool
pressure regardless of which individual adapter leaks.
Snapshot Content-Type and body while the client context is still
active so pooled connections fully release on exit. Previously the
read happened after `async with httpx.AsyncClient(...)` returned —
which works today only because httpx eagerly buffers non-streaming
responses; a future refactor to `.stream()` would silently read-
after-close.
Part of the #18451 connection-hygiene audit. Salvage of #18502.
* fix(gateway): config.yaml wins over .env for agent/display/timezone settings
Regression from the silent config→env bridge. The bridge at module import
time is correct for max_turns (unconditional overwrite), but every other
agent.*, display.*, timezone, and security bridge key was guarded by
'if X not in os.environ' — so a stale .env entry from an old 'hermes setup'
run would shadow the user's current config.yaml indefinitely.
Symptom: agent.max_turns: 500 in config.yaml, HERMES_MAX_ITERATIONS=60
in .env from an old setup, and the gateway silently capped at 60
iterations per turn. Gateway logs confirmed api_calls never exceeded 60.
Three changes:
1. gateway/run.py: drop the 'not in os.environ' guards for all agent.*,
display.*, timezone, and security.* bridge keys. config.yaml is now
authoritative for these settings — same semantics already in place
for max_turns, terminal.*, and auxiliary.*. Also surface the bridge
failure (previously 'except Exception: pass') to stderr so operators
see bridge errors instead of silently falling back to .env.
2. gateway/run.py: INFO-log the resolved max_iterations at gateway
start so operators can verify the config→env bridge did the right
thing instead of chasing a phantom budget ceiling.
3. hermes_cli/setup.py: stop writing HERMES_MAX_ITERATIONS to .env in
the setup wizard. config.yaml is the single source of truth. Also
clean up any stale .env entry left behind by pre-fix setups.
Regression tests in tests/gateway/test_config_env_bridge_authority.py
guard each config→env key against the 'stale .env shadows config' bug.
* fix(gateway): shutdown + restart hygiene (drain timeout, false-fatal, success log)
Three issues observed in production gateway.log during a rapid restart
chain on 2026-05-02, all fixed here.
1. _send_restart_notification logged unconditional success
adapter.send() catches provider errors (e.g. Telegram 'Chat not found')
and returns SendResult(success=False); it never raises. The caller
ignored the return value and always logged 'Sent restart notification
to <chat>' at INFO, producing a misleading success line directly
below the 'Failed to send Telegram message' traceback on every boot.
Now inspects result.success and logs WARNING with the error otherwise.
2. WhatsApp bridge SIGTERM on shutdown classified as fatal error
_check_managed_bridge_exit() saw the bridge's returncode -15 (our own
SIGTERM from disconnect()) and fired the full fatal-error path,
producing 'ERROR ... WhatsApp bridge process exited unexpectedly' plus
'Fatal whatsapp adapter error (whatsapp_bridge_exited)' on every
planned shutdown, immediately before the normal '✓ whatsapp
disconnected'. Adds a _shutting_down flag that disconnect() sets
before the terminate, and _check_managed_bridge_exit() returns None
for returncode in {0, -2, -15} while shutting down. OOM-kill (137)
and other non-signal exits still hit the fatal path.
3. restart_drain_timeout default 60s → 180s
On 2026-05-02 01:43:27 a user /restart fired while three agents were
mid-API-call (82s, 112s, 154s into their turns). The 60s drain budget
expired and all three were force-interrupted. 180s covers realistic
in-flight agent turns; users on very-long-reasoning models can still
raise it further via agent.restart_drain_timeout in config.yaml.
Existing explicit user values are preserved by deep-merge.
Tests
- tests/gateway/test_restart_notification.py: two new tests assert INFO
is only logged on SendResult(success=True) and WARNING with the error
string is logged on SendResult(success=False).
- tests/gateway/test_whatsapp_connect.py: parametrized test for
returncode in {0, -2, -15} proves shutdown-time exits are suppressed;
separate test proves returncode 137 (SIGKILL/OOM) still surfaces as
fatal even when _shutting_down is set.
- _check_managed_bridge_exit() reads _shutting_down via getattr-with-
default so existing _make_adapter() test helpers that bypass __init__
(pitfall #17 in AGENTS.md) keep working unmodified.
When DiscordAdapter.connect() is called during reconnect, it creates a new
commands.Bot client without closing the previous one. The old client's
websocket remains connected to Discord's gateway, causing both to fire
on_message for every incoming event — resulting in double responses.
Fix: before creating a new Bot instance, check if a previous client exists
and close it. This ensures only one websocket connection is active at any
time.
Closes#18187
`_register_skill_group` captured the skill catalog in closure variables
(`entries` and `skill_lookup`) so the single `tree.add_command` call at
startup owned the only live copy. The closure is never re-entered after
startup, so `/reload-skills` — which rescans the on-disk skills dir and
refreshes the in-process `_skill_commands` registry — had no way to
propagate results into the `/skill` autocomplete on Discord. New skills
stayed invisible in the dropdown, and deleted skills returned
"Unknown skill" when the stale autocomplete entry was clicked.
The fix is purely a dataflow change: promote `entries` and `skill_lookup`
to instance attributes (`_skill_entries`, `_skill_lookup`), split the
collector-driven rebuild into a helper (`_refresh_skill_catalog_state`),
and add a public `refresh_skill_group()` method that re-runs the helper
and is safe to call at any point after the initial registration.
The gateway's `_handle_reload_skills_command` then iterates
`self.adapters` and calls `refresh_skill_group()` on any adapter that
exposes it (currently only Discord). Both sync and async implementations
are supported; adapters that don't override the method (Telegram's
BotCommand menu, Slack subcommand map, etc.) are silently skipped — the
in-process `reload_skills()` call covers them.
No `tree.sync()` is required because Discord fetches autocomplete
options dynamically on every keystroke — mutating the instance state the
callbacks already read from is sufficient. That sidesteps the per-app
command-bucket rate limit (~5 writes / 20 s) that made the previous
bulk-sync-on-reload approach unusable (#16713 context).
Tests: tests/gateway/test_reload_skills_discord_resync.py — five cases
covering (1) refresh replaces entries, (2) entries stay sorted after
refresh, (3) collector exception leaves cached state intact, (4)
`_refresh_skill_catalog_state` populates the instance attrs, (5)
orchestrator calls `refresh_skill_group()` on sync + async adapters and
skips adapters that don't expose it.
_check_unavailable_skill is meant to turn a typed "/foo" command that
doesn't resolve into a specific hint — "disabled, enable with hermes
skills config" or "available but not installed, install with hermes
skills install …" — instead of the generic "unknown command" reply.
It was doing the match with `skill_md.parent.name.lower().replace("_", "-")`,
comparing that to the typed command. For every skill whose directory name
drifted from its declared frontmatter `name:`, that comparison failed and
the user got the unhelpful generic path. On a standard install today 19
skills have this drift, e.g.:
dir: mlops/stable-diffusion
frontmatter: name: Stable Diffusion Image Generation
registered slug (what the user types): /stable-diffusion-image-generation
dir: mlops/qdrant
frontmatter: name: Qdrant Vector Search
registered slug: /qdrant-vector-search
dir: mlops/flash-attention
frontmatter: name: Optimizing Attention Flash
registered slug: /optimizing-attention-flash
In every case, _check_unavailable_skill would fall through because
"stable-diffusion" != "stable-diffusion-image-generation", even with the
skill sitting right there on disk.
Fix: extract a small `_skill_slug_from_frontmatter` helper that reads the
SKILL.md frontmatter and normalizes exactly like scan_skill_commands
(lower, spaces/underscores → hyphens, strip non-[a-z0-9-], collapse
runs of hyphens, strip edges). Use it in both the
disabled-skills branch and the optional-skills branch. The disabled-set
membership check now uses the declared frontmatter name (which is what
`hermes skills config` writes into skills.disabled / platform_disabled),
not the slug.
Tests: five cases in tests/gateway/test_unavailable_skill_hint.py —
the drift case for the disabled branch, unknown-command negative,
matched-but-not-disabled negative, non-alnum stripping, and the drift
case for the optional-skills branch. All five fail against main and
pass with the fix.
After a transient Telegram 502, _handle_polling_network_error's
stop()+start_polling() cycle can leave PTB's Updater with `running=True`
but a wedged consumer task that never makes progress. No error_callback
fires in that state, so the reconnect ladder never advances past attempt
1, the MAX_NETWORK_RETRIES fatal-error path is never reached, and the
gateway sits silent indefinitely.
Schedule a heartbeat probe (60s after a successful reconnect) that
verifies Updater.running is still True and bot.get_me() responds within
a tight asyncio.wait_for timeout. Either failure feeds back into the
reconnect ladder so the existing escalation path fires.
No PTB-internal coupling, no Application rebuild — minimal additive
defense inside the existing reconnect abstraction.
Tests cover healthy / Updater non-running / probe timeout / probe
network error / already-fatal cases, plus an integration check that the
probe is actually scheduled after a successful start_polling().
Closes the silent-wedge case observed in the wild after a transient
Telegram 502; existing reconnect tests updated to mock bot.get_me() now
that the success path schedules a heartbeat probe.
FixesNousResearch/hermes-agent#11768
Root cause: target.strip().lower() was lowercasing the entire target string,
corrupting case-sensitive chat IDs like Slack C123ABC and Matrix !RoomABC.
Fix: Only lowercase the platform prefix for case-insensitive matching;
preserve the original case for chat_id and thread_id values.
YAML loads a bare numeric value such as
discord:
free_response_channels: 1491973769726791812
as an int. _discord_free_response_channels() / _slack_free_response_channels()
checked `isinstance(raw, list)` and `isinstance(raw, str)` in that order and
then fell through to `return set()`, so a single-channel config that happened
to be unquoted was silently dropped with no log line — the bot kept demanding
@mentions even though the channel was configured to free-response.
A multi-channel value like `1234567890,9876543210` does not trip this because
the comma forces YAML to parse it as a string. Single-channel configs are
the only case that breaks, which is exactly the footgun that's hardest to
diagnose (the config "looks right" and the feature just doesn't activate).
Note that the old-schema env-var bridge at gateway/config.py:614+ already
runs `str(frc)` when forwarding to SLACK_/DISCORD_FREE_RESPONSE_CHANNELS,
so the env-var fallback worked. The bug only surfaces on the
`config.extra["free_response_channels"]` path populated by the `platforms:`
bridge at gateway/config.py:576, which passes the raw YAML value through
unchanged.
Fix at the reader: treat any non-list value as a scalar, coerce with str(),
then apply the same CSV split semantics. This keeps the public contract
stable (list or str-like continues to work identically) while accepting
the ints that the YAML loader is free to hand us.
Added tests for both Discord and Slack covering:
- bare int value in config.extra
- list of ints in config.extra
Self-review fixes for the slash ephemeral ack:
- Only stash response_url when text starts with '/' (gateway command).
Free-form questions via '/hermes <question>' must produce public agent
replies visible to the whole channel, not ephemeral.
- Use a ContextVar (_slash_user_id) to thread the invoking user's ID
from _handle_slash_command through to send(). _pop_slash_context now
matches the exact (channel_id, user_id) key when the ContextVar is
set, preventing concurrent users on the same channel from stealing
each other's ephemeral context. ContextVars propagate to child
asyncio.Tasks, so the value survives through handle_message →
_process_message_background → _send_with_retry → send().
- Add truncate_message() in _send_slash_ephemeral to prevent silent
failures on long responses (response_url has the same ~40k limit).
- Log send_private_notice failures at debug level instead of bare
except/pass — aids diagnostics without spamming.
- Document app_mention dedup dependency on shared event ts.
- Add tests: free-form question must NOT stash context, concurrent
users on the same channel get isolated contexts, non-slash send()
path fallback behavior.
Adds platform-level private notice delivery abstraction so operational
messages (e.g. sethome prompt) can be sent ephemerally on Slack when
configured with `slack.notice_delivery: private`.
Changes:
- gateway/config.py: _normalize_notice_delivery() + GatewayConfig.get_notice_delivery()
with per-platform config bridging
- gateway/platforms/base.py: send_private_notice() default implementation
(falls through to send())
- gateway/platforms/slack.py: send_private_notice() via chat_postEphemeral
- gateway/run.py: _deliver_platform_notice() helper replaces direct
adapter.send() for the sethome notice, with private→public fallback
- gateway/platforms/slack.py: app_mention handler now forwards to
_handle_slack_message (safe due to ts-based dedup) instead of no-op pass,
fixing edge-case Slack configs where mentions arrive only as app_mention
- gateway/platforms/slack.py format_message: negative lookbehind prevents
markdown images (![]()) from becoming broken Slack links; italic regex
now requires non-whitespace boundaries so 'a * b * c' stays literal
Based on PR #9340 by @probepark.
Slack slash commands (/q, /btw, /stop, /model, etc.) previously showed
no user-visible acknowledgement and posted command replies as public
channel messages. This diverged from Discord, which uses ephemeral
deferred responses for slash commands.
Changes:
- handle_hermes_command now passes response_type='ephemeral' and a
'Running /cmd…' text to ack(), giving the user immediate 'Only visible
to you' feedback when they invoke any native slash command.
- _handle_slash_command stashes the Slack response_url from the command
payload in a per-channel context dict before dispatching to
handle_message.
- send() checks for a pending slash context and, when found, POSTs to
the response_url with replace_original=true to swap the initial ack
with the real command reply (e.g. 'Queued for the next turn.'),
keeping it ephemeral.
- Stale slash contexts are garbage-collected on lookup (120s TTL).
- The response_url POST is non-fatal: if it fails, the user already saw
the initial ack, and send() returns success=True.
Fixes#18182
Long-running gateway processes that survive 'hermes update' keep
pre-update modules cached in sys.modules. When new tool files on
disk then try to 'from hermes_cli.config import cfg_get' (added in
PR #17304), the import resolves against the stale module object
and raises ImportError — hitting users on Matrix, Telegram, Feishu,
and other platforms.
Two defenses:
1. Gateway self-check (gateway/run.py). On __init__, snapshot the
newest mtime across sentinel source files (hermes_cli/config.py,
run_agent.py, gateway/run.py, etc.). On every inbound message,
re-read those mtimes; if any is newer than boot time + 2s slack,
request a graceful restart via the normal drain path and return
a one-line ack to the user. Idempotent, works regardless of how
the update happened (hermes update, manual git pull, installer).
2. Post-restart survivor sweep ('hermes update'). After the existing
restart loop, sleep 3s, rescan for gateway PIDs we already tried
to kill, and SIGKILL any survivors. The detached profile watchers
and systemd then relaunch with fresh code instead of waiting out
the 120s watcher timeout.
Closes#17648.
Telegram's client does not display empty forum topics in the chat's
topic list. After createForumTopic succeeds, send a short pin message
into the new topic so it becomes immediately visible to the user.
Only fires for newly created topics (no thread_id in config yet).
Failure to send the seed is non-fatal (debug-logged, topic still works).
The bot-owner identity check inside OwnerCommandMiddleware was commented
out and replaced with a hardcoded `is_owner = True`, so any group member
could trigger allowlisted privileged commands (/approve, /deny, /stop,
/reset, /retry, /undo, /new, /background, /bg, /btw, /queue, /q) by
sending the slash command without @-mentioning the bot. The most severe
case is /approve: a non-owner could approve a dangerous tool call the
bot was waiting on the owner to confirm.
Re-enable the documented identity check (push.from_account ==
push.bot_owner_id) so only the configured owner can issue these
commands.
Add a standing-goal slash command that keeps Hermes working toward a
user-stated objective across turns until it is achieved, paused, or
the turn budget runs out. Our take on the Ralph loop — cf. Codex CLI
0.128.0's /goal.
After each turn, a lightweight auxiliary-model judge call asks 'is
this goal satisfied by the assistant's last response?'. If not, and
we're under the turn budget (default 20), Hermes feeds a continuation
prompt back into the same session as a normal user message. Any real
user message preempts the continuation loop automatically.
Judge failures fail OPEN (continue) so a flaky judge never wedges
progress — the turn budget is the real backstop.
### Commands
- `/goal <text>` — set a standing goal (kicks off the first turn)
- `/goal` or `/goal status` — show current state
- `/goal pause` — pause the continuation loop
- `/goal resume` — resume (resets turn counter)
- `/goal clear` — drop the goal
Works on both CLI and gateway platforms via the central CommandDef
registry.
### Design invariants preserved
- **Prompt cache**: continuation prompts are regular user-role
messages appended to history. No system-prompt mutation, no toolset
swap.
- **Role alternation**: continuation is a user turn, never injected
mid-tool-loop.
- **Session persistence**: goal state lives in SessionDB.state_meta
keyed by `goal:<session_id>`, so `/resume` picks it up.
- **Mid-run safety**: on the gateway, `/goal status|pause|clear` are
allowed mid-run (control-plane only); setting a new goal requires
`/stop` first so we don't race a second continuation prompt against
the current turn.

Adds opt-in auto-deletion for slash-command reply messages like
"New session started!", "Restarting gateway…", "Stopped.", and
YOLO toggles. After the TTL elapses the gateway calls the adapter's
delete_message; on platforms without a delete API (everything except
Telegram today) the TTL is silently ignored and the message stays.
Requested on Twitter by @charlesmcdowell — tool-call bubbles are useful
real-time, but system notices clutter the thread once the agent finishes.
Implementation:
- EphemeralReply(str) sentinel in gateway/platforms/base.py. Subclasses
str so existing 'X' in response / response.startswith(...) checks in
tests and call sites keep working unchanged; isinstance() still
distinguishes it for the send path.
- _process_message_background and both busy-session bypass paths
(in base.py) call _unwrap_ephemeral() on the handler return, send
the unwrapped text, and schedule a detached delete task when the
TTL > 0 AND the adapter class overrides delete_message.
- display.ephemeral_system_ttl (default 0 = disabled) in DEFAULT_CONFIG.
Handler can pass ttl_seconds explicitly to override.
- Wrapped the highest-noise return sites: /new, /reset, /stop,
/yolo on/off, /restart success + "already in progress". Draining
notices and /help output left as plain strings — those are
informational and users want to read them.
Backward-compat: default TTL 0 → no scheduling, no behavior change
for existing users. Platforms without delete_message silently no-op.
The user-visible /compress banner and the post-compression last_prompt_tokens
writeback both counted only the raw message transcript (chars/4). With a 15KB
system prompt and 30 tool schemas (~26KB), a 4-message transcript that looks
like ~45 tokens to the transcript-only estimator is really ~10.5K tokens of
request pressure — a 234x gap.
Two user-facing consequences:
- Banner shows 'Compressing … (~45 tokens)…' while compression is actually
firing on 10K+ tokens of real pressure, confusing users about why
compression triggered (reported by @codecovenant on X; #6217).
- Post-compression last_prompt_tokens writeback omits tool schemas, so the
next should_compress() check compares real usage against a stale
underestimate — compression triggers late, potentially past the model's
context limit on small-context models (#14695).
Swap estimate_messages_tokens_rough() for estimate_request_tokens_rough()
at every user-visible banner and at the post-compression writeback.
estimate_request_tokens_rough() already existed for exactly this purpose
and includes system prompt + tool schemas.
Touched call sites:
- run_agent.py: post-compression last_prompt_tokens writeback, post-tool
call should_compress() fallback when provider usage is missing
- cli.py: /compress banner + summary
- gateway/run.py: gateway /compress banner + summary
- tui_gateway/server.py: TUI /compress status + summary
- acp_adapter/server.py: ACP /compact before/after
Left intentionally alone:
- Session-hygiene fallback and the 'no agent' /status path in gateway/run.py
— no agent instance is in scope to query for system prompt/tools, and the
existing 30-50% overestimate wobble on hygiene is safety-accepted.
- Verbose-mode 'Request size' logging — informational only, already counts
system prompt via api_messages[0].
Also relabels the feedback line from 'Rough transcript estimate' to
'Approx request size' so the metric label matches what it actually measures.

Closes#14695Closes#6217
_process_message_background snapshotted callback_generation from the
interrupt event at the TOP of the task — before the handler ran.
_hermes_run_generation is only set on the event by
GatewayRunner._bind_adapter_run_generation during
_handle_message_with_agent, which runs DURING the handler await. The
early snapshot always captured None, which then flowed into
pop_post_delivery_callback(..., generation=None) in the finally block.
In pop_post_delivery_callback, generation=None with a tuple-registered
entry (generation, callback) bypasses the ownership check — it pops and
fires the callback regardless of which run owns it. Result: a stale run
could fire a fresher run's post-delivery callback (e.g. a
background-review notification attributed to the wrong turn).
Fix: move the snapshot into the finally block, after the handler has
run and _hermes_run_generation has been bound to the current run.
Regression test added: simulates a stale handler at generation=1 and a
fresher callback registered at generation=2. Pre-fix: snapshot=None →
pop fires the generation=2 callback under generation=1's ownership
("newer" fires). Post-fix: snapshot=1 → pop skips the mismatched
entry, callback stays in the dict for the correct run to claim.
Verified: test FAILS on current main (captures "newer" in fired list),
PASSES with this fix.
Salvaged from PR #12565 (the callback-ownership portion only; the
/status totals portion was already fixed on main in 7abc9ce4d via #17158).

Add two operator-facing toggles for inbound Feishu admission, enabling
bot-to-bot scenarios such as A2A orchestration and inter-bot
notifications:
FEISHU_ALLOW_BOTS=none|mentions|all (default: none)
Accept messages from other bots. `mentions` requires the peer
bot to @-mention Hermes; `all` admits every peer-bot message.
FEISHU_REQUIRE_MENTION=true|false (default: true)
Whether group messages must @-mention the bot. Override per-chat
via `group_rules.<chat_id>.require_mention` in config.yaml.
Defaults preserve prior behavior. Self-echo protection is always on:
when the bot's identity is unresolved (auto-detection failed and
FEISHU_BOT_OPEN_ID unset), peer-bot messages are rejected fail-closed
to avoid feedback loops.
Admitted peer bots bypass the human-user allowlist
(FEISHU_ALLOWED_USERS) to match existing Discord behavior; humans
still need an explicit allowlist entry. yaml feishu.allow_bots is
bridged to the env var so the adapter and gateway auth layer share
one source of truth.
Resolving peer-bot display names requires the
application:bot.basic_info:read scope; without it, peers still route
but appear as their open_id.
Test: tests/gateway/test_feishu_bot_admission.py covers the admission
pipeline, group-policy bot-bypass, hydration, and event-dispatch
plumbing as a parametrized matrix.

reset_session() creates a fresh SessionEntry with created_at == updated_at,
but get_or_create_session() bumps updated_at on the next inbound message,
causing _is_new_session in _handle_message_with_agent to evaluate False.
The topic/channel skill auto-load gate (group_topics, channel_skill_bindings)
silently skips the first message after a manual reset.
Add an is_fresh_reset flag on SessionEntry, set by reset_session() and
consumed once by the message handler. Kept distinct from was_auto_reset
because that flag also drives a 'session expired due to inactivity'
user-facing notice and a context-note prepend — both wrong for an
explicit /new or /reset.
Persisted through to_dict/from_dict so the flag survives gateway
restart between /reset and the next message.

/status was reading session_entry.total_tokens from the in-memory
SessionStore (gateway/session.py), which the agent never writes to —
so the token count was always 0.
The agent already persists token deltas to the SQLite SessionDB
(run_agent.py:11497) for every platform with a session_id. Route
/status through that single source of truth instead of duplicating
token writes into a second store.
Fix:
- gateway/run.py: _handle_status_command now calls
self._session_db.get_session(session_id) and sums the five token
component columns (input/output/cache_read/cache_write/reasoning).
Falls back to 0 when no SessionDB is configured or no row exists.
- Two new regression tests covering the populated-row and
missing-row paths.

Minor follow-up to the native-image-buffer isolation fix. The write site
in _prepare_inbound_message_text was calling build_session_key directly,
while every other call site in gateway/run.py uses the _session_key_for_source
helper — which consults session_store._generate_session_key first and falls
back to build_session_key. Keeping the write key and consume key on the
same helper prevents key drift if the session store ever overrides the
default keying behavior.
Widens the cherry-picked fix from @jatingodnani (#17343) to the
gateway path. On main, user_config.agent.disabled_toolsets was only
honored by _get_platform_tools' name-level subtraction — it did not
catch tools pulled in implicitly by a composite toolset (browser
includes web_search, hermes-* platforms include most tools).
Changes:
- gateway/run.py: resolve disabled_toolsets alongside enabled_toolsets
and pass to AIAgent at both user-facing construction sites (normal
message loop + single-turn cron-like path). Hygiene/compression
agents (fixed enabled_toolsets=[memory]) are intentionally untouched.
- gateway/run.py: add (agent, disabled_toolsets) to
_CACHE_BUSTING_CONFIG_KEYS so editing the list in config.yaml
invalidates the cached AIAgent on the next message.
- cli.py: drop unused 'import platform' left over from PR #17343's
import churn; restore 'import sys' used throughout the file.
- model_tools.py: drop unused 'import os, sys' added by PR #17343;
fix comment reference from #15291 (unrelated OAuth issue) to #17309.

Widen PR #17842's atomic-write fix to two sibling sites that exhibit the
same 'partial JSON on interrupted write' class of bug:
- gateway/platforms/feishu.py: dedup state (_dedup_state_path)

Both are small recovery/coordination files that get rewritten frequently and

Signal-cli sends dataMessage wrappers for profile key updates and other
metadata events that have no actual text content. These were reaching the

attachments but no text still flow through.
- 12 lines added to gateway/platforms/signal.py

Archived skills (moved to ~/.hermes/skills/.archive/ by the curator)
were still surfaced in the <available_skills> system prompt under a
fake '.archive' category, causing the agent to load and try to use
deprecated skills. The os.walk in iter_skill_index_files() only
excluded .git/.github/.hub.
Add '.archive' to EXCLUDED_SKILL_DIRS, and to the two other places
that hardcode the same exclusion tuple (gateway/run.py and
agent/skill_commands.py).
The #1630 fix introduced a blanket ``agent_failed_early`` transcript skip
to prevent context-overflow sessions from looping. That guard also
triggers for unrelated transient failures (429 rate limits, read
timeouts, connection resets, provider 5xx) which have nothing to do with
session size — and it silently drops the user's message, so the agent
has no memory of the last turn on retry.
Split the failure classification in ``GatewayRunner._run_agent``:
* Context-overflow (``compression_exhausted`` flag, explicit
context-length phrases, or generic 400 with a long history) → keep
the existing skip, preserving the #1630/#9893 fix.
* Anything else that failed → persist just the user message so the
conversation survives a retry.
Use specific multi-word phrases (``context length``, ``token limit``,
``prompt is too long``, etc.) to match ``run_agent.py``'s own
classifier; bare ``exceed`` false-positively flagged "rate limit
exceeded" as context overflow.
Covered by new tests in ``tests/gateway/test_7100_transient_failure_transcript.py``
and the existing #1630 suite still passes.
When a user sets model.context_length in config.yaml, the value was only
used for Hermes' internal compression decisions (context_compressor) but
NOT for Ollama's num_ctx parameter. Ollama auto-detects context from GGUF
metadata (often 256K+) and allocates that much VRAM regardless of the
user's config — causing OOM on smaller GPUs like the P100 (16GB).
Root cause: two separate context values existed independently:
- context_compressor.context_length = config value (e.g. 65536) ✓
- _ollama_num_ctx = GGUF metadata value (e.g. 256000) ✗ ignored config
Changes:
1. Cap Ollama num_ctx to config context_length (run_agent.py)
When model.context_length is explicitly set and no explicit
ollama_num_ctx override exists, cap the auto-detected GGUF value
to the user's context_length. This is the core fix — it prevents
Ollama from allocating more VRAM than the user budgeted.
2. Pass config_context_length through all secondary call sites
Several paths called get_model_context_length() without the config
override, falling through to the 256K default fallback:
- cli.py: @-reference expansion and /model switch display
- gateway/run.py: @-reference expansion and /model switch display
- tui_gateway/server.py: @-reference expansion
- hermes_cli/model_switch.py: resolve_display_context_length()
3. Normalize root-level context_length in config (hermes_cli/config.py)
_normalize_root_model_keys() now migrates root-level context_length
into the model section, matching existing behavior for provider and
base_url. Users who wrote `context_length: 65536` at the YAML root
instead of under `model:` had it silently ignored.
4. Fix misleading comments (agent/model_metadata.py)
DEFAULT_FALLBACK_CONTEXT is 256K (CONTEXT_PROBE_TIERS[0]), not 128K
as two comments stated.
Tests: 3 new tests for root-level context_length normalization.
All existing context_length tests pass (96 tests).
The busy-session handler (_handle_active_session_busy_message) bypassed the
authorization gate that the cold path enforces via _is_user_authorized(). In
shared-thread contexts (Slack threads, Telegram forum topics, Discord threads)
where thread_sessions_per_user=False (the default), all participants share one
session_key. An unauthorized user posting in the same thread as an authorized
user would hit the active-session branch, skip the auth check, and have their
text merged into _pending_messages or injected via agent.interrupt().
This commit adds the same _is_user_authorized() check at the top of the busy
handler, before any message queuing, steering, or interrupt logic. Unauthorized
messages are silently dropped (return True) with a warning log — matching the
cold-path behavior.
Affected platforms: Slack, Telegram, Discord, any adapter with shared-session
thread contexts.
Closes#17775
Ports PR #17888's send_multiple_images ABC to every gateway platform that
has a native multi-attachment API, so images arrive as a single bundled
message instead of N separate ones.
Native overrides:
- Telegram: send_media_group (10 photos per album, chunks over); animated
GIFs peeled off and routed through send_animation (albums don't support
animations)
- Discord: channel.send(files=[...]) (10 attachments per message, chunks
over); URL images downloaded into BytesIO so they render inline; forum
channels use create_thread with files=[...]
- Slack: files_upload_v2(file_uploads=[...]) (10 per call, chunks over);
respects thread_ts; records thread participation
- Mattermost: single post with file_ids list (5 per post — Mattermost cap,
chunks over)
- Email: single SMTP message with multiple MIME attachments (no chunk cap,
SMTP size governs); remote URLs remain linked in body (parity with
existing send_image)
All platforms fall back to the base per-image loop on any failure, so a
single bad image in a batch never loses the rest.
Matrix, WhatsApp, and single-attachment platforms (BlueBubbles, Feishu,
WeCom, WeChat, DingTalk) continue to use the base default loop — their
server APIs only accept one attachment per message anyway.
Tests: adds tests/gateway/test_send_multiple_images.py with 19 targeted
tests covering base default loop, chunking, animation peel-off, fallback
paths, and empty-batch no-ops across all five new overrides.
Co-authored-by: Maxence Groine <maxence@groine.fr>
Adds a new `send_multiple_images` method to the ``BasePlatformAdapter``
that implements the default "One image per message" loop and allows for
platform-specific overriding.
Implements such an override for the Signal adapter, batching images
and trying (best-effort) to work around rate-limits for voluminous
batches using a specific scheduler.
Also implements batching + rate-limit handling in the `send_message`
tool.
New tests added for the Signal adapter, its rate-limit scheduler and the
`send_message` tool
Follow-up to the try/except guards added in the previous commit.
Four sibling call sites all read HERMES_AGENT_TIMEOUT /
HERMES_AGENT_TIMEOUT_WARNING / HERMES_AGENT_NOTIFY_INTERVAL via the
same read-env-or-fallback pattern, so factor it into _float_env(name,
default) alongside the existing _auto_continue_freshness_window()
helper.
Two defensive fixes in gateway/run.py:
1. yaml.safe_load returning None on empty config files (line 12706):
GatewayConfig.from_dict(data) crashes with AttributeError when the YAML
file is empty because safe_load returns None. All 6 other yaml.safe_load
call sites already use `or {}` — this one was missed.
Impact: gateway fails to start with empty --config file.
2. float() on env vars without ValueError guard (lines 3951, 11757, 11805,
11807): HERMES_AGENT_TIMEOUT, HERMES_AGENT_TIMEOUT_WARNING, and
HERMES_AGENT_NOTIFY_INTERVAL are cast via float() directly from
os.getenv(). A typo (e.g. "abc") raises ValueError and crashes the
agent turn or gateway startup.
Impact: single misconfigured env var crashes the entire gateway.
When the in-band pending-message drain spawns a fresh task and
transfers ownership via _session_tasks[session_key] = drain_task,
the original task still unwinds through the finally block. The
drain task picks up the same interrupt_event in its own
_process_message_background entry, so an unconditional
_release_session_guard(session_key, guard=interrupt_event) at the
end of the finally matches and deletes _active_sessions[session_key]
while the drain task is still pending its first await.
A concurrent inbound message arriving in that handoff window passes
the Level-1 guard (no entry exists) and spawns a second
_process_message_background for the same session — two agents on
one session_key, duplicate responses, duplicate tool calls.
Fix: only call _release_session_guard when the current task still
owns _session_tasks[session_key]. When ownership has been
transferred to a drain task, leave _active_sessions populated; the
drain task's own lifecycle releases it. This mirrors the
late-arrival drain path in the same finally block, which already
leaves both entries alone after handing off.
Also reorder stdlib imports in the new regression test file to
match the gateway test convention (stdlib before third-party).
Regression test: capture _active_sessions[sk] identity at every
handler entry across a 2-step in-band drain chain and assert the
guard Event identity stays the same. Pre-fix, the original task's
finally deletes the entry, the drain task falls through to the
`or asyncio.Event()` branch, and a fresh Event is installed —
identity diverges. Post-fix, the entry is preserved and the drain
task reuses the original Event.

`_process_message_background` finished a turn, found a queued
follow-up, and drained it via `await
self._process_message_background(pending_event, session_key)`. Each
chained follow-up added a frame to the call stack instead of starting
fresh. Under sustained pending-queue activity (e.g. a user sending
follow-ups faster than the agent finishes turns) the C stack would
exhaust at ~2000 nested frames and SIGSEGV the process.
Mirror the late-arrival drain pattern that already exists in the same
function: spawn a new `asyncio.create_task(...)` for the pending event
and return so the current frame can unwind. The new task takes
ownership via `_session_tasks[session_key]`.
The late-arrival drain in `finally` could now race with the in-band
drain across the `await typing_task` / `await stop_typing` window, so
add a guard: if `_session_tasks[session_key]` is no longer the current
task, an in-band drain already spawned a follow-up task — re-queue the
late-arrival event so that task picks it up after its current event,
instead of spawning a second concurrent task for the same session_key.
Regression test (`test_pending_drain_no_recursion.py`) chains 12
follow-ups and asserts the recorded
`_process_message_background` stack depth stays bounded at handler
entry. Pre-fix: depths grow linearly `[1,2,3,…,12]`. Post-fix: all
depths are `1`.
`test_duplicate_reply_suppression::test_stale_response_suppressed_when_interrupted`
called `_process_message_background` directly and implicitly relied on
the old recursive `await` semantic — updated to wait for the spawned
drain task before checking the sent list.

Extracted from PR #17211 (@versun) so it can land independently of the
local_command TTS provider redesign.
- Add should_send_media_as_audio(platform, ext, is_voice) in
gateway/platforms/base.py; single source of truth for audio routing.
- Add .flac to recognized audio extensions (MEDIA regex, weixin audio
set, send_message audio set).
- Telegram send_voice() now falls back to send_document for formats
Telegram's Bot API can't play natively (.wav, .flac, ...) instead of
raising; MP3/M4A still go to sendAudio, Opus/OGG still go to sendVoice.
- Route _send_telegram() in send_message_tool through a narrower
_TELEGRAM_SEND_AUDIO_EXTS = {.mp3, .m4a} set.
- cron.scheduler._send_media_via_adapter now delegates the audio
decision to should_send_media_as_audio so it matches the gateway.
- Update the cron live-adapter ogg test to flag [[audio_as_voice]] so
it still routes to sendVoice under the new Telegram-specific policy.
- Tests: unit coverage for should_send_media_as_audio across platforms,
end-to-end MEDIA routing via _process_message_background and
GatewayRunner._deliver_media_from_response, TelegramAdapter.send_voice
fallback for FLAC/WAV.

Dashboard plugin API routes (web_server._mount_plugin_api_routes) and
gateway event hooks (gateway.hooks.HookRegistry.discover_and_load) both
loaded Python files via importlib.util.spec_from_file_location +
exec_module without registering the resulting module in sys.modules.
That breaks any plugin or hook handler that uses `from __future__ import
annotations` together with a Pydantic BaseModel / dataclass / anything
that introspects `__module__`: at first request Pydantic tries to
resolve string-form type hints against the defining module's namespace,
can't find it by name, and raises:
PydanticUserError: TypeAdapter[...] is not fully defined;
you should define ... and all referenced types,
then call `.rebuild()` on the instance.
This is what broke the kanban dashboard's 'triage' button — POST
/api/plugins/kanban/tasks validated against CreateTaskBody (a Pydantic
model in a file using `from __future__ import annotations`) and
returned 500 on every click.
The fix, applied symmetrically to both loaders:
1. Compute module_name once.
2. Register the module in sys.modules BEFORE exec_module.
3. On exec_module failure, pop the half-initialized stub so subsequent
reloads don't pick up broken state.
GETs were unaffected because they don't build a body TypeAdapter, which
is why this only surfaced when users started POSTing.
feat(gateway): refine Platform._missing_ and platform-connected dispatch
Restricts plugin-name acceptance to bundled plugin scan + registry
(no arbitrary string -> enum-pollution), pulls per-platform connectivity
checks into a _PLATFORM_CONNECTED_CHECKERS lambda map with a clean
_is_platform_connected method, and adds tests covering the checker map,
plugin platform interface, and IRC setup wizard.
Merge the two gateway setup paths (hermes setup gateway + hermes gateway
setup) to use a single _unified_platforms() list that merges built-in
_PLATFORMS with dynamically registered plugin entries from
platform_registry.
- Add setup_fn field to PlatformEntry for plugin setup flows
- _unified_platforms() merges built-ins with registry entries by key
- setup_gateway() now uses unified list instead of hardcoded
_GATEWAY_PLATFORMS tuple list
- gateway_setup() uses same unified list, plugin entries appear
alongside built-ins with no [plugin] suffix
- _platform_status() handles plugin platforms via registry check_fn
- Plugin platforms with setup_fn get called directly; plugins without
get a generic env-var display fallback
IRC and other plugin platforms now appear automatically in the setup
menu when registered via platform_registry.register().
feat(gateway): surface disabled platform plugins in setup and auto-enable on select
Platform plugins under plugins/platforms/* (IRC, etc.) were gated behind
plugins.enabled, so `hermes gateway setup` wouldn't list them until the
user ran `hermes plugins enable <name>` first. Now the setup menu always
surfaces them as "plugin disabled — select to enable", and picking one
adds it to plugins.enabled before running its setup flow.
Along the way, unify the two gateway setup flows so `hermes setup gateway`
and `hermes gateway setup` both read from the same platform list (built-in
_PLATFORMS + platform_registry entries), dispatch through a single
_configure_platform() helper, and share _platform_status(). Deletes the
dead bespoke wrappers in setup.py (_setup_whatsapp, _setup_weixin,
_setup_email, etc.) that duplicated logic now covered by the registry
path or _setup_standard_platform.
Also:
- PlatformEntry gains a plugin_name field so the registry knows which
plugin owns each entry (required for auto-enable).
- PluginContext.register_platform auto-stamps plugin_name from the
manifest so plugins don't have to pass it explicitly.
- PluginManager now scans plugins/platforms/* as its own category root,
one level below the bundled plugin scan.
- Fix IRC plugin discovery: rename PLUGIN.yaml → plugin.yaml (the
scanner is case-sensitive) and add the missing __init__.py that
_load_directory_module requires.
Closes remaining functional gaps and adds documentation.
webhook.py: Cross-platform delivery now checks the plugin registry
for unknown platform names instead of hardcoding 15 names in a tuple.
Plugin platforms can receive webhook-routed deliveries.
prompt_builder: Platform hints (system prompt LLM guidance) now fall
back to the plugin registry's platform_hint field. Plugin platforms
can tell the LLM 'you're on IRC, no markdown.'
PlatformEntry: Added platform_hint field for LLM guidance injection.
IRC adapter: Added acquire_scoped_lock/release_scoped_lock in
connect/disconnect to prevent two profiles from using the same IRC
identity. Added platform_hint for IRC-specific LLM guidance.
Removed dead token-empty-warning extension for plugin platforms
(plugin adapters handle their own env vars via check_fn).
website/docs/developer-guide/adding-platform-adapters.md:
- Added 'Plugin Path (Recommended)' section with full code examples,
PLUGIN.yaml template, config.yaml examples, and a table showing all
18 integration points the plugin system handles automatically
- Renamed built-in checklist to clarify it's for core contributors
gateway/platforms/ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md:
- Added Plugin Path section pointing to the reference implementation
and full docs guide
- Clarified built-in path is for core contributors only
PII redaction: build_session_context_prompt() now checks the plugin
registry's pii_safe flag in addition to the hardcoded _PII_SAFE_PLATFORMS
frozenset. Plugin platforms that set pii_safe=True (e.g. phone-based
messaging bridges) get their user IDs redacted before LLM context.
Token empty warnings: the empty-token diagnostic at config load now
checks the plugin registry's required_env when a platform isn't in the
hardcoded _token_env_names dict. Catches 'enabled but empty' for
plugin platforms too.
Extends the platform plugin interface from Phase 1 to cover every
touchpoint where built-in platforms have hardcoded behavior.
- allowed_users_env / allow_all_env: per-platform auth env vars
- max_message_length: smart-chunking for send_message tool
- pii_safe: session PII redaction flag
- emoji: CLI/gateway display
- allow_update_command: /update access control
send_message tool (tools/send_message_tool.py):
- Replaced hardcoded platform_map dict with Platform() call
- Added _send_via_adapter() for plugin platforms — routes through
live gateway adapter when available
- Registry-aware max message length for smart chunking
Cron delivery (cron/scheduler.py):
- Replaced hardcoded 15-entry platform_map with Platform() call
- Plugin platforms now work as cron delivery targets
User authorization (gateway/run.py _is_user_authorized):
- Registry fallback: checks PlatformEntry.allowed_users_env and
allow_all_env when platform not in hardcoded maps
- Plugin platforms get per-platform auth support
_UPDATE_ALLOWED_PLATFORMS: checks registry allow_update_command flag
Channel directory: includes plugin platforms in session enumeration
Orphaned config warning: descriptive message when plugin platform is
in config but no plugin registered it
Gateway weakref: _gateway_runner_ref for cross-module adapter access
hermes status: shows plugin platforms with (plugin) tag
hermes gateway setup: plugin platforms appear in menu with setup hints
hermes_cli/platforms.py: get_all_platforms() merges with registry,
platform_label() falls back to registry for plugin names
- 8 new tests (extended fields, cron resolution, platforms merge)
- Updated 3 tests for new Platform() based resolution
- 2829 passed, 24 pre-existing failures, zero new failures
Adds a platform adapter plugin interface so anyone can create new gateway
platforms (IRC, Viber, Line, etc.) as drop-in plugins without modifying
core gateway code.
- PlatformEntry dataclass: name, label, adapter_factory, check_fn,
validate_config, required_env, install_hint, source
- PlatformRegistry singleton with register/unregister/create_adapter
- _create_adapter() in gateway/run.py checks registry first, falls
through to existing if/elif chain for built-in platforms
- Platform._missing_() accepts unknown string values, creating cached
pseudo-members so Platform('irc') is Platform('irc') holds true
- GatewayConfig.from_dict() now parses plugin platform names from
config.yaml without rejecting them
- get_connected_platforms() delegates to registry for unknown platforms
- PluginContext.register_platform() for plugin authors
- Mirrors the existing register_tool() / register_hook() pattern
- Full async IRC adapter using stdlib asyncio (zero external deps)
- Connects via TLS, handles PING/PONG, nick collision, NickServ auth
- Channel messages require addressing (nick: msg), DMs always dispatch
- Markdown stripping for IRC-clean output, message splitting for
512-byte line limit
- Config via config.yaml extra dict or IRC_* env vars
- Platform enum dynamic members (identity stability, case normalization)
- PlatformRegistry (register, unregister, create, validation, factory)
- GatewayConfig integration (from_dict parsing, get_connected_platforms)
- IRC adapter (init, send, protocol parsing, markdown, requirements)
No existing platform adapters were migrated — the if/elif chain is
untouched. This is Phase 1: prove the interface with a real plugin.
Reloading MCP servers rebuilds the tool set for the active session, which
invalidates the provider prompt cache (tool schemas are baked into the
system prompt). The next message re-sends full input tokens — can be
expensive on long-context or high-reasoning models.
To surface that cost, /reload-mcp now routes through a new slash-confirm
primitive with three options: Approve Once / Always Approve / Cancel.
'Always Approve' persists approvals.mcp_reload_confirm: false so future
reloads run silently.
Coverage:
* Classic CLI (cli.py) — interactive numbered prompt.
* TUI (tui_gateway + Ink ops.ts) — text warning on first call; `now` /
`always` args skip the gate; `always` also persists the opt-out.
* Messenger gateway — button UI on Telegram (inline keyboard), Discord
(discord.ui.View), Slack (Block Kit actions); text fallback on every
other platform via /approve /always /cancel replies intercepted in
gateway/run.py _handle_message.
* Config key: approvals.mcp_reload_confirm (default true).
* Auto-reload paths (CLI file watcher, TUI config-sync mtime poll) pass
confirm=true so they do NOT prompt.
Implementation:
* tools/slash_confirm.py — module-level pending-state store used by all
adapters and by the CLI prompt. Thread-safe register/resolve/clear.
* gateway/platforms/base.py — send_slash_confirm hook (default 'Not
supported' → text fallback).
* gateway/run.py — _request_slash_confirm helper + text intercept in
_handle_message (yields to in-progress tool-exec approvals so
dangerous-command /approve still unblocks the tool thread first).
Tests:
* tests/tools/test_slash_confirm.py — primitive lifecycle + async
resolution + double-click atomicity (16 tests).
* tests/hermes_cli/test_mcp_reload_confirm_gate.py — default-config
shape + deep-merge preserves user opt-out (5 tests).
Targeted runs (hermetic): 89 passed (slash-confirm, config gate,
existing agent cache, existing telegram approval buttons).
PR #15027 (5 days ago) shipped TELEGRAM_GROUP_ALLOWED_USERS as a chat-ID
allowlist. #17686 correctly renames that to sender user IDs and moves
chat IDs to TELEGRAM_GROUP_ALLOWED_CHATS. Without a shim, any user on
PR #15027's guidance would silently start rejecting group traffic on
upgrade.
- gateway/run.py: in _is_user_authorized, if TELEGRAM_GROUP_ALLOWED_USERS
contains values starting with '-' (chat-ID-shaped), honor them as chat
IDs and log a one-shot deprecation warning pointing users at the new
TELEGRAM_GROUP_ALLOWED_CHATS var.
- tests/gateway/test_unauthorized_dm_behavior.py: three new tests cover
legacy chat-ID values authorizing the listed chat, not crossing to
other chats, and mixed sender/chat values in the same var.
- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/telegram.md: rewrite the Group
Allowlisting section to document the new user/chat split + migration
note. Remove stale '/thread_id' suffix claim (code never parsed it).
- website/docs/reference/environment-variables.md: document all three
Telegram allowlist env vars.
Salvage-follow-up to @shannonsands's /reload-skills PR. Trims the feature to
match the design: user-initiated rescan, no prompt-cache reset, no new
schema surface, no phantom user turn, and the next-turn note carries each
added/removed skill's 60-char description (not just its name).
Changes vs the original PR:
* Drop the in-process skills prompt-cache clear in reload_skills(). Skills
are invoked at runtime via /skill-name, skills_list, or skill_view —
they don't need to live in the system prompt for the model to use them.
Keeping the cache intact preserves prefix caching across the reload so
/reload-skills pays no cache-reset cost. (MCP has to break the cache
because tool schemas must be known at conversation start; skills do not.)
* Drop the skills_reload agent tool and SKILLS_RELOAD_SCHEMA from
tools/skills_tool.py, plus the four skills_reload enumerations in
toolsets.py. No new schema surface — agents can already see a freshly-
installed skill via skill_view / skills_list the moment it's on disk.
* Replace the phantom 'role: user' turn injection with a one-shot queued
note. CLI uses self._pending_skills_reload_note (same pattern as
_pending_model_switch_note, prepended to the next API call and cleared).
Gateway uses self._pending_skills_reload_notes[session_key]. The note
is prepended to the NEXT real user message in this session, so message
alternation stays intact and nothing out-of-band is persisted to the
transcript.
* reload_skills() now returns added/removed as
[{'name': str, 'description': str}, ...] (description truncated to 60
chars — matches the curator / gateway adapter budget). The injected
next-turn note formats each entry as 'name — description' so the model
can actually reason about which new skills to call without running
skills_list first.
* Only emit the note when the diff is non-empty. On empty diff, print
'No new skills detected' and do nothing else.
* Tests rewritten to cover the queue semantics, the description payload,
and a regression guard that the prompt-cache snapshot is preserved.
Adds a public reload path for the in-process skill caches so newly
installed (or removed) skills become visible mid-session without a
gateway restart. Mirrors the shape of /reload-mcp.
Three surfaces:
* /reload-skills slash command — CLI (cli.py) and gateway (gateway/run.py),
with /reload_skills alias for Telegram autocomplete and an explicit
Discord registration.
* skills_reload agent tool (tools/skills_tool.py) — lets agents/subagents
pick up freshly-installed skills via tool call.
* agent.skill_commands.reload_skills() — shared helper that clears
_skill_commands, _SKILLS_PROMPT_CACHE (in-process LRU), and the
on-disk .skills_prompt_snapshot.json, then returns an added/removed
diff plus the new total count.
Tested:
* tests/agent/test_skill_commands_reload.py (9 cases)
* tests/cli/test_cli_reload_skills.py (3 cases)
* tests/gateway/test_reload_skills_command.py (4 cases)
Use case: NemoClaw / OpenShell-style sandboxed orchestrators that drop
skills into ~/.hermes/skills mid-session, plus agentic flows where the
agent itself installs a skill via the shell tool and needs it bound
without a gateway restart. The Python helper
clear_skills_system_prompt_cache(clear_snapshot=True) already exists
internally — this PR just exposes it via slash command and tool.
CI Tests workflow has been red on main for 40+ consecutive runs. This
commit recovers every failure visible in run 25130722163 (most recent
completed run prior to this PR).
Root causes, by group:
Test-mock drift after product landed (fix: update mocks)
- test_mcp_structured_content / test_mcp_dynamic_discovery (6 tests):
product added _rpc_lock (#02ae15222) and _schedule_tools_refresh
(#1350d12b0) without updating sibling test files. Install a real
asyncio.Lock inside the fake run-loop and patch at _schedule_tools_refresh.
- test_session.py: renamed normalize_whatsapp_identifier → canonical_
whatsapp_identifier upstream; keep a local alias so the legacy tests
keep working.
- test_run_progress_topics Slack DM test: PR #8006 made Slack default
tool_progress=off; explicitly set it to 'all' in the test fixture so
the progress-callback path still runs. Also read tool_progress_callback
at call time rather than freezing it in FakeAgent.__init__ — production
assigns it AFTER construction.
- test_tui_gateway_server session-create/close race: session.create now
defers _start_agent_build behind a 50ms timer — wait for the build
thread to enter _make_agent before closing, otherwise the orphan-
cleanup path never runs.
- test_protocol session.resume: product get_messages_as_conversation now
takes include_ancestors kwarg; accept **_kwargs in the test stub.
- test_copilot_acp_client redaction: redactor is OFF by default (snapshots
HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS at import); patch agent.redact._REDACT_ENABLED=True
for the duration of the test.
- test_minimax_provider: after #17171, dots in non-Anthropic model names
stay dots even with preserve_dots=False. Assert the new invariant
rather than the old 'broken for MiniMax' behavior.
- test_update_autostash: updater now scans `ps -A` for dashboard PIDs;
the test's catch-all subprocess.run stub needed stdout/stderr fields.
- test_accretion_caps: read_timestamps dict is populated lazily when
os.path.getmtime succeeds. Use .get("read_timestamps", {}) to tolerate
CI filesystems where the stat races file creation.
Change-detector tests (fix: rewrite as structural invariants)
- test_credential_sources_registry_has_expected_steps: was a frozen set
comparison that broke when minimax-oauth was added. Rewrite as an
invariant check (every step has description, no dupes, core steps
present) per AGENTS.md 'don't write change-detector tests'.
xdist ordering / test pollution (fix: reset state, use module-local patches)
- test_setup vercel: sibling test saved VERCEL_PROJECT_ID='project' to
os.environ via save_env_value() and never cleared it. monkeypatch.delenv
the VERCEL_* vars in the link-file test.
- test_clipboard TestIsWsl: GitHub Actions is on Azure VMs whose real
/proc/version often contains 'microsoft'. Patching builtins.open with
mock_open didn't reliably intercept hermes_constants.is_wsl's call in
xdist workers that had already cached _wsl_detected=True from an
earlier test. Patch hermes_constants.open directly and add
teardown_method to reset the cache after each test.
Pytest-asyncio cancellation hangs (fix: bound product await with timeout)
- test_session_split_brain_11016 (3 params) + test_gateway_shutdown
cancel-inflight: under pytest-asyncio 1.3.0, 'await task' and
'asyncio.gather(cancelled_tasks)' can stall for 30s when the cancelled
task's finally block awaits typing-task cleanup. Bound both with
asyncio.wait_for(..., timeout=5.0) and asyncio.shield — the stragglers
are released from adapter tracking and allowed to finish unwinding in
the background. This is also a legitimate hardening: a wedged finally
shouldn't stall the caller's dispatch or a gateway shutdown.
Orphan UI config (fix: merge tiny tab into messaging category)
- test_web_server test_no_single_field_categories: the telegram.reactions
config field lived in its own 'telegram' schema category with no
siblings. Fold it under 'discord' via _CATEGORY_MERGE so the dashboard
doesn't render an orphan single-field tab.
Local verification: 38/38 originally-failing tests pass; 4044/4044
gateway tests pass; 684/684 targeted subset (all 16 touched test files)
passes.
Address Copilot review on PR #16666:
1. **Duplicate event on every tool start** — both ``tool_progress_callback``
and ``tool_start_callback`` fire side-by-side in ``run_agent.py``, so
wiring both into chat completions emitted *two* ``hermes.tool.progress``
events per real tool call. Drop the legacy ``_on_tool_progress`` emit
entirely; ``_on_tool_start`` now produces a single unified event that
carries the legacy ``tool``/``emoji``/``label`` fields plus the new
``toolCallId``/``status`` correlation fields. Label is computed inline
via ``build_tool_preview`` so callers do not need to pre-format it.
2. **Weak per-event correlation in the regression test** — the previous
assertion checked that a ``toolCallId`` appeared *somewhere* in the
aggregate, which would have passed even if ``running`` lacked the id.
Collect ``(status, toolCallId)`` per event and assert each event
carries the correct pair, plus exactly two events on the wire (no
silent duplication regression).
The two existing chat-completions tool-progress tests are updated to fire
``tool_start_callback`` instead of ``tool_progress_callback``, matching
production reality where ``run_agent`` always pairs them.

Adds Vercel Sandbox as a supported Hermes terminal backend alongside
existing providers (Local, Docker, Modal, SSH, Daytona, Singularity).
Uses the Vercel Python SDK to create/manage cloud microVMs, supports
snapshot-based filesystem persistence keyed by task_id, and integrates
with the existing BaseEnvironment shell contract and FileSyncManager
for credential/skill syncing.
Based on #17127 by @scotttrinh, cherry-picked onto current main.
Adds two API server endpoints for external UIs and orchestrators:
- GET /v1/capabilities — machine-readable feature discovery so clients
can detect which Runs API / SSE / auth features this Hermes version
supports before depending on them.
- GET /v1/runs/{run_id} — pollable run status so dashboards can check
queued/running/completed/failed/cancelled/stopping state without
holding an SSE connection open.
Also moves request validation ahead of run allocation so invalid
payloads no longer leave orphaned entries in _run_streams waiting for
the TTL sweep.
task_id is intentionally kept as "default" for the Runs API to
preserve the shared-sandbox model used by CLI, gateway, and the
existing _run_agent_with_callbacks path. session_id is surfaced in
run status for external-UI correlation only.
Salvage of PR #17085 by @Magaav.
QR-login connects an iLink bot identity (...@im.bot), not a scriptable
personal WeChat account. iLink typically does not deliver ordinary WeChat
group events to these bots, so WEIXIN_GROUP_POLICY / WEIXIN_GROUP_ALLOWED_USERS
often have no effect regardless of value.
- Setup wizard: print iLink-bot caveat before the group-policy prompt; relabel
the allowlist input as 'group chat IDs (not member user IDs)'; note that
'open' / 'allowlist' only take effect if iLink delivers group events.
- Adapter: log a WARNING at connect() when WEIXIN_GROUP_POLICY is non-disabled
so the limitation is surfaced in gateway logs, not just docs.
- Docs: add a top-of-page warning callout to weixin.md explaining the iLink
bot identity, narrow the 'DM and group messaging' feature line to DM-only
with a group caveat, tighten the Group Policy section and troubleshooting
row, and clarify WEIXIN_GROUP_ALLOWED_USERS as group IDs (not user IDs)
in weixin.md and environment-variables.md.
Closes#17094
The Weixin adapter only recognized errcode=-14 as a session-expired
signal. However, iLink also returns ret=-2 with errmsg="unknown error"
for the same underlying condition (stale session). The adapter treated
ret=-2 as a rate-limit, exhausting retries with the same stale
context_token instead of refreshing the session.
Added _is_stale_session_ret() helper that distinguishes ret=-2 with
"unknown error" from genuine rate limits. Updated both the poll loop
and _send_text_chunk to use the helper.
FixesNousResearch/hermes-agent#17228
Wrap each adapter.connect() in asyncio.wait_for() so one platform hanging
during startup or reconnect cannot block the others. Telegram's 8-retry
connect loop (~140s worst case) previously prevented Feishu from ever
starting when Telegram was network-restricted — common for users in
regions where Telegram is blocked.
Default timeout is 30s; override via HERMES_GATEWAY_PLATFORM_CONNECT_TIMEOUT
(0 disables). Applied to both startup and the reconnect watcher so a
platform that hangs mid-retry also does not stall retries for others.

Memory providers now receive on_session_switch() whenever AIAgent.session_id
rotates mid-process — /resume, /branch, /reset, /new, and context
compression. Before this, providers that cached per-session state in
initialize() (Hindsight's _session_id, _document_id, accumulated
_session_turns, _turn_counter) kept writing into the old session's
record after the agent had moved on.
MemoryProvider ABC
------------------
- New optional hook on_session_switch(new_session_id, *,
parent_session_id='', reset=False, **kwargs) with no-op default for
backward compat. reset=True signals /reset or /new — providers should
flush accumulated per-session buffers. reset=False for /resume,
/branch, compression where the logical conversation continues.
MemoryManager
-------------
- on_session_switch() fans the hook out to every registered provider.
Isolated try/except per provider — one bad provider can't block others.
- Empty/None new_session_id is a no-op to avoid corrupting provider state
during shutdown paths.
run_agent.py
------------
- _sync_external_memory_for_turn now passes session_id=self.session_id
into sync_all() and queue_prefetch_all(). Providers with defensive
session_id updates in sync_turn (Hindsight already had this at
plugins/memory/hindsight/__init__.py:1199) now actually receive the
current id.
- Compression block at ~L8884 already notified the context engine of
the rollover; now also calls
_memory_manager.on_session_switch(reason='compression').
cli.py
------
- new_session() fires reset=True, reason='new_session' so providers
flush buffers.
- _handle_resume_command fires reset=False, reason='resume' with the
previous session as parent_session_id.
- _handle_branch_command fires reset=False, reason='branch' with the
parent session_id already captured for the DB parent link.
gateway/run.py
--------------
- _handle_resume_command now evicts the cached AIAgent, mirroring
/branch and /reset. The next message rebuilds a fresh agent whose
memory provider initialize() runs with the correct session_id —
matches the pattern the gateway already uses for provider state
cross-session transitions.
Hindsight reference implementation
----------------------------------
- plugins/memory/hindsight/__init__.py adds on_session_switch that:
updates _session_id, mints a fresh _document_id (prevents
vectorize-io/hindsight#1303 overwrite), and clears _session_turns /
_turn_counter / _turn_index so in-flight batches don't flush under
the new document id. parent_session_id only overwritten when provided
(avoids clobbering on a bare switch).
Tests
-----
- tests/agent/test_memory_session_switch.py: new dedicated file. ABC
default no-op, manager fan-out, failure isolation, empty-id no-op,
session_id propagation through sync_all/queue_prefetch_all, Hindsight
state transitions for every reset/non-reset case, parent preservation.
- tests/cli/test_branch_command.py: new test verifying /branch fires
the hook with correct parent_session_id + reset=False + reason.
- tests/gateway/test_resume_command.py: new test verifying /resume
evicts the cached agent.
- tests/run_agent/test_memory_sync_interrupted.py: updated existing
assertions to account for the session_id kwarg on sync_all and
queue_prefetch_all.
E2E verified (real imports, tmp HERMES_HOME):
- /resume: session_id updates, doc_id fresh, buffers cleared, parent set
- /branch: session_id forks, parent links to original
- /new: reset=True clears accumulated state
- compression: reason='compression' propagated, lineage preserved
- Empty id: no-op, state preserved
- Legacy provider without on_session_switch: no crash
