14 focused tests on the extracted helper
``_xai_oauth_exchange_code_for_tokens`` cover:
Core contract:
* ``code_verifier`` is on the wire (RFC 7636 §4.5).
* ``code_challenge`` + ``code_challenge_method=S256`` are echoed
(the #26990 defense-in-depth that makes xAI's token endpoint
stop rejecting valid exchanges).
* ``grant_type=authorization_code``, ``code``, ``redirect_uri``,
and ``client_id`` are all locked.
* Content-Type is ``application/x-www-form-urlencoded`` (xAI
rejects ``application/json`` on this endpoint).
* The supplied ``token_endpoint`` URL is used verbatim — no
hard-coded constant sneaks in via a future refactor.
* ``timeout_seconds`` is forwarded; floored at 20s.
Sanity guard:
* Empty ``code_verifier`` raises ``xai_pkce_verifier_missing``
with a link to #26990 — and NOTHING is sent. Leaking the auth
code to a server that can't redeem it is the wrong failure mode.
* Empty ``code_challenge`` omits only the defensive echo; the
standards-compliant ``code_verifier`` request still goes out so
RFC-compliant servers keep working.
Error surfacing:
* Non-200 responses include both ``HTTP <status>`` and the body
verbatim — disambiguates 400 (PKCE / bad request) from 403
(tier denied, see #26847).
* Transport errors are wrapped as ``AuthError`` with the
``xai_token_exchange_failed`` code, so the surrounding
``format_auth_error`` UI mapping still fires.
* Non-dict JSON payloads raise ``xai_token_exchange_invalid``.
* 200 happy path returns the parsed payload dict verbatim.
End-to-end wire-format guard:
* A real ``httpx.Client`` with a stub transport captures the bytes
on the wire and asserts every PKCE field round-trips through
``urlencode``. Catches a future refactor that swaps
``data=`` for ``json=`` (which xAI would silently reject).
Addresses reviewer feedback: when resolve_runtime_provider returns a dict
without the 'provider' key, the result must be None regardless of
configured_provider. This guards against malformed runtime responses.
Test: test_runtime_missing_provider_key_returns_none
Named custom providers (e.g. crof.ai) resolve to provider='custom' at the
runtime level, causing subagents to lose their intended provider identity.
On retry/fallback, resolve_provider_client('custom', model=...) searches all
providers advertising that model and picks non-deterministically, routing to
Z.AI or Bailian instead of the configured target.
The fix preserves configured_provider when runtime['provider'] == 'custom',
restoring the original provider name so routing stays correct through retries.
Adds a named constant _RUNTIME_PROVIDER_CUSTOM instead of a magic string.
Adds three regression tests:
- test_named_custom_provider_preserves_provider_name: the #26954 case
- test_standard_provider_not_overwritten_by_configured_name: openrouter/nous
must still return their own identity, not the configured name
- test_custom_provider_with_empty_configured_provider_falls_back_to_runtime:
empty provider triggers the early-return None path as before
`hermes doctor` displayed OAuth status for Nous, Codex, Gemini, and MiniMax
but silently omitted xAI OAuth, even though `get_xai_oauth_auth_status()`
exists and the same information is already surfaced in `hermes status`.
Add xAI OAuth as a *separate* try/except block so an import failure cannot
silence the already-printed provider rows above it — consistent with the
per-provider isolation introduced in the doctor fallback fix.
Tests:
- 9 new tests in TestDoctorXaiOAuthStatus covering: logged-in ok, not-logged-in
warn, error line present/absent, import failure isolation, runtime exception
and None-return safety.
- 9 existing run_doctor helpers updated to mock get_xai_oauth_auth_status for
deterministic output.
hermes status listed Nous Portal, OpenAI Codex, Qwen OAuth, and MiniMax
OAuth in the Auth Providers section but omitted xAI OAuth entirely.
Users who authenticated via `hermes auth add xai-oauth` had no way to
verify their session state from the status output.
Add xAI OAuth display using the same field shape as OpenAI Codex:
auth_store (Auth file:), last_refresh (Refreshed:), and error when
not logged in. The import is isolated in its own try/except so an
import failure cannot affect the already-printed rows above it.
Tests cover:
- logged in: check mark, auth_store, last_refresh, error suppressed
- not logged in: login command hint, error shown, error absent = no line
- resilience: import failure, status function raises, returns None
- isolation: xAI import failure does not break Nous/MiniMax display
Shared try/except import block meant that if any one status function was
missing, all providers lost their OAuth fallback suppression. Split into
per-provider try/except so each branch is independently safe.
Add end-to-end test for xAI: bad XAI_API_KEY with healthy OAuth does not
surface a blocking issue in run_doctor output. Add tests for None return,
import failure isolation (xAI missing does not break Gemini), and move
test_returns_false_for_unknown_provider out of the xAI-specific class.
_has_healthy_oauth_fallback_for_apikey_provider() covers Gemini and
MiniMax (added by #26853) but omits xAI. The xAI provider profile
(plugins/model-providers/xai/__init__.py) has auth_type="api_key" and
env_vars=("XAI_API_KEY",), so it enters the generic API-key
connectivity loop. When XAI_API_KEY fails a 401 probe but xAI OAuth
is healthy, the failure is promoted to the blocking summary even though
xAI works fine via OAuth — the same false-positive #26853 fixed for
Gemini and MiniMax.
Fix: import get_xai_oauth_auth_status alongside the existing two
helpers and add the "xai" branch. get_xai_oauth_auth_status() already
exists in hermes_cli/auth.py and returns {"logged_in": True} when a
valid OAuth token is present.
Symmetric with the Gemini and MiniMax branches introduced in #26853.
No behavior change for providers without an OAuth path.
Addresses findings from two self-review passes pre-merge.
First pass (3-agent parallel review):
1. plugins/browser/browser_use/provider.py: drop the
``_ = managed_nous_tools_enabled`` dead-import-hider in
_get_config_or_none(). The import was actively misleading — the
helper IS used in _get_config() (separate method, separate import),
not here. The "keep static analysis happy" comment was wrong about
what the helper does in this scope.
2. agent/browser_provider.py: drop ``pragma: no cover`` from
is_configured() / provider_name() backward-compat aliases. They ARE
covered by ``TestLegacyAbcAliases`` — the pragma would have masked
future regressions.
3. tools/browser_tool.py: refactor _is_legacy_provider_registry_overridden()
to compare against a module-frozen _DEFAULT_PROVIDER_REGISTRY snapshot
instead of hardcoded set of 3 keys. Future maintainers adding a 4th
built-in provider now just extend _PROVIDER_REGISTRY; the override
detection adapts automatically. Previously the hardcoded
``set(...) != {"browserbase", "browser-use", "firecrawl"}`` would flip
True forever on any 4-key registry, silently routing every install
onto the legacy fixture path.
4. tools/browser_tool.py: when explicit ``browser.cloud_provider`` is set
but the registry has no matching plugin (typo, uninstalled plugin,
discovery failure), emit a WARNING with actionable text instead of
silently falling through to auto-detect. Legacy code surfaced a typed
credentials error via direct class instantiation; this log restores
the signal in the post-migration path.
5. agent/browser_registry.py: trim the triple-redundant _LEGACY_PREFERENCE
documentation. Module docstring + 13-line block-comment + 5-line
inline comment was repeating the same point. Kept the docstring and
trimmed the block-comment to 5 lines.
6. agent/browser_registry.py: upgrade is_available()-raised logging from
DEBUG to WARNING with exc_info=True. A provider's availability check
throwing is unusual enough that users debugging "no cloud provider"
need the traceback in logs.
7. tests/plugins/browser/check_parity_vs_main.py: drop dead top-level
imports (os, shutil, tempfile — only referenced inside the
SUBPROCESS_SCRIPT string literal that runs in a child process).
Second pass (architecture + claim-verification review):
8. tools/browser_tool.py: rewrite the inline comment in _get_cloud_provider
auto-detect branch. Prior text claimed it "routes through the plugin
registry's legacy preference walk so third-party plugins still get a
chance to be selected when they're explicitly configured" — false on
both counts. The branch uses module-level legacy class aliases
(BrowserUseProvider / BrowserbaseProvider) directly; third-party
plugins are intentionally reachable only via explicit
``browser.cloud_provider``. Corrected comment now matches behaviour
and cross-references _LEGACY_PREFERENCE for the firecrawl gate
rationale.
9. tools/browser_tool.py + tests/tools/test_managed_browserbase_and_modal.py:
drop the unused ``get_active_browser_provider as
_registry_get_active_browser_provider`` alias from the
``from agent.browser_registry import ...`` block. It was never
referenced; matching test-stub line in the agent.browser_registry
SimpleNamespace also dropped. ``get_provider`` is still imported (used
by the explicit-config dispatch path at line 535).
10. plugins/browser/firecrawl/provider.py: align emergency_cleanup()
with the early-guard pattern used in browserbase + browser_use
plugins. Previously firecrawl tried the DELETE and relied on
``_headers()`` raising ValueError to trip a "missing credentials"
warning; same final outcome but a different control flow that read
like a bug to a maintainer skimming the three modules. Now: if
is_available() is False, log+return early — identical shape to the
other two providers.
Verification: 54/54 unit tests + 13/13 parity scenarios still pass.
Two changes that go together:
1. tools/browser_tool.py — add _ensure_browser_plugins_loaded() and call
it from _get_cloud_provider() before consulting the registry. Normally
model_tools triggers discover_plugins() as an import side-effect, but
_get_cloud_provider() can be reached from contexts that haven't gone
through model_tools (standalone scripts, certain unit-test paths, the
new parity-sweep harness). Without the defensive call, the registry is
empty and _registry_get_browser_provider() returns None — silently
downgrading users to local mode when they explicitly configured a
cloud provider with no credentials yet. The behavior-parity sweep
below caught this as 4 scenario regressions (explicit-X-no-creds for
all 3 providers, and explicit-firecrawl-with-creds).
2. tests/plugins/browser/check_parity_vs_main.py — subprocess harness
that pins one Python invocation to origin/main and one to this PR's
worktree via sys.path.insert(), runs _get_cloud_provider() across a
13-scenario config matrix, and diffs the reduced shape tuple
(is_local, provider_name, is_available). Provider_name pulls from
provider.provider_name() which is the legacy CloudBrowserProvider
API and remains as a backward-compat alias on the new BrowserProvider
ABC, so the comparison is apples-to-apples regardless of class
identity.
Final result: PARITY OK across 13 scenarios. The four observable
config/credential matrices that exercise the dispatcher all match
origin/main bit-for-bit:
- no-config + no-env → local
- explicit local + any env → local
- explicit BB / BU / FC + no creds → provider returned with
is_available()==False (so dispatcher surfaces typed credentials
error; matches main exactly)
- explicit BB / BU / FC + creds → provider returned with
is_available()==True
- no-config + BU creds → Browser Use
- no-config + BB creds → Browserbase
- no-config + both → Browser Use (legacy walk first hit)
- no-config + FC only → local (firecrawl NOT in legacy walk)
- no-config + FC + BB → Browserbase (legacy walk skips firecrawl)
Per the dev skill's "behavior-parity for refactor PRs" rule — without
this subprocess sweep, 31/31 unit tests pass while the production code
path is silently broken for users who type `browser.cloud_provider:
browserbase` and run a single browser command without prior model_tools
import. Caught + fixed before push.
Mirrors tests/plugins/web/test_web_search_provider_plugins.py from PR #25182.
31 tests across 5 classes:
TestBundledPluginsRegister (8 tests)
- Three plugins register (browserbase, browser-use, firecrawl)
- Each plugin's name + display_name accessible
- get_setup_schema() returns picker-shaped dict with post_setup hook
- All three lifecycle methods (create_session, close_session,
emergency_cleanup) overridden on every plugin
TestIsAvailable (4 tests)
- browserbase needs BOTH BROWSERBASE_API_KEY and BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID
- browserbase: api_key alone or project_id alone insufficient
- browser-use satisfied by BROWSER_USE_API_KEY
- firecrawl satisfied by FIRECRAWL_API_KEY
TestRegistryResolution (8 tests) — most valuable, locks down
pre-migration semantics:
- _resolve(None) with no creds returns None (local mode)
- _resolve('local') short-circuits to None
- _resolve('browserbase') returns provider even when unavailable
(so dispatcher surfaces typed credentials error)
- _resolve('firecrawl') same: explicit-config wins
- _resolve('unknown') falls through to auto-detect
- Legacy walk picks browser-use over browserbase
- browserbase-only configuration: browserbase wins
- **Regression**: firecrawl is NEVER auto-selected even when
single-eligible (preserves pre-migration gate; FIRECRAWL_API_KEY
shared with web firecrawl must not silently route to paid cloud
browser)
TestLegacyAbcAliases (6 tests)
- is_configured() delegates to is_available() for all three plugins
- provider_name() returns display_name for all three plugins
TestPickerIntegration (3 tests)
- _plugin_browser_providers() exposes all three plugins as rows
- Each row carries post_setup='agent_browser'
- browser_plugin_name marker matches browser_provider
All tests use real imports — no mocking of provider classes — so the
suite catches drift in the ABC, registry, picker injection, and plugin
glue layer simultaneously.
31/31 passing.
The four files in tools/browser_providers/ (base.py, browserbase.py,
browser_use.py, firecrawl.py) have been migrated into
plugins/browser/<vendor>/provider.py over the previous commits. No
in-tree code references them anymore — the legacy class names
(BrowserbaseProvider / BrowserUseProvider / FirecrawlProvider) are
re-exported from tools.browser_tool as aliases to the plugin classes,
so existing test patches keep working.
Updates tests/tools/test_managed_browserbase_and_modal.py:
- Adds _load_plugin_module() helper next to _load_tool_module().
- Reroutes five _load_tool_module('tools.browser_providers.X', ...)
calls to _load_plugin_module('plugins.browser.X.provider', ...).
- Renames BrowserbaseProvider/BrowserUseProvider -> the new plugin
class names (BrowserbaseBrowserProvider / BrowserUseBrowserProvider).
- Updates is_configured() -> is_available() on the one assertion that
cared about the rename (the others stay on is_configured() via the
BrowserProvider ABC's backward-compat alias).
Net diff: -630 / +39 lines (tests + dead-code deletion). Verified
23/23 tests in test_browser_cloud_*.py + test_managed_browserbase_and_modal.py
still pass.
Closes the file-tree mismatch portion of #25214. Remaining work:
new plugin-level test coverage under tests/plugins/browser/, behaviour
parity subprocess sweep vs origin/main, and full tests/tools/ regression
sweep before opening the PR.
Switches tools.browser_tool's cloud-provider lookup from the hardcoded
_PROVIDER_REGISTRY class-instantiation pattern to the
agent.browser_registry singleton registry that plugins self-populate.
Changes:
- tools/browser_tool.py top imports: pull BrowserProvider from
agent.browser_provider (re-exported as CloudBrowserProvider for legacy
callers) and the three provider classes from plugins/browser/<vendor>/.
Legacy class names (BrowserbaseProvider, BrowserUseProvider, FirecrawlProvider)
remain on tools.browser_tool as re-export shims so existing test patches
(monkeypatch.setattr(browser_tool, 'BrowserUseProvider', ...)) keep working.
- _get_cloud_provider() now consults agent.browser_registry.get_provider()
for explicit-config lookups. The auto-detect fallback still uses
BrowserUseProvider() / BrowserbaseProvider() at the module level so the
cache-policy test fixtures (which patch those names) keep driving the
function. Test-time _PROVIDER_REGISTRY overrides are detected by class
identity and routed through the legacy factory-call path.
- agent/browser_provider.py: BrowserProvider grows is_configured() and
provider_name() as thin backward-compat aliases for the legacy
CloudBrowserProvider API. Subclasses MUST implement is_available() and
name; the aliases delegate. This keeps ~6 caller sites in browser_tool.py
working without churning them.
- tests/tools/test_managed_browserbase_and_modal.py: _install_fake_tools_package
grows stubs for agent.browser_provider / agent.browser_registry /
plugins.browser.<vendor>.provider so the test's spec-loader path
(sys.modules-reset + reload-tool-from-disk) can satisfy tools.browser_tool's
top-level imports.
Verified: all 23 existing tests in test_browser_cloud_*.py +
test_managed_browserbase_and_modal.py still pass post-cutover.
The legacy tools/browser_providers/ directory is NOT yet deleted; several
tests still _load_tool_module() those files via spec_from_file_location.
The deletion + test-path updates land in a later commit.
Address code review feedback on _parse_response:
1. Restore isinstance(raw, str) guard so non-string message/reason values
(e.g. integers, lists) from a malformed hook response fall back to the
default rather than being forwarded as-is. This keeps the contract that
message in the returned dict is always a string.
2. Extract the repeated literal 'Blocked by shell hook.' into a module-level
constant _DEFAULT_BLOCK_MESSAGE to avoid duplication and make it easy to
change in one place.
Four new unit tests added to tests/agent/test_shell_hooks.py covering:
- action block with no message (uses default)
- decision block with no reason (uses default)
- action block with empty string message (uses default)
- action block with non-string message, e.g. integer (uses default)
qwen3.6-plus did not have an explicit entry in DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS,
so the longest-substring fallback matched the generic 'qwen': 131072
catch-all. That dropped the effective context limit from 1,048,576
tokens to 131,072, prematurely lowered the compression threshold, and
produced misleading warnings about main/compression context mismatch
in long sessions.
Add an explicit 'qwen3.6-plus': 1048576 entry before the catch-all and
cover it with a regression test (bare, qwen/, and dashscope/ prefixes).
Note: PR #6599 also mentions touching model_metadata.py but the actual
diff only edits hermes_cli/models.py, so this fix is independent and
not duplicated by that PR.
Closes#27008
The restart-drain test previously asserted equality between two calls
to t("gateway.draining", count=1), which masked the original
xdist failure mode in #22266: if the locale catalog is not resolved
from the worker's import path, t() returns the bare key path and
both sides of the equality still match.
Add a guard that the resolved value is not the raw catalog key and
contains the English placeholder substitution. This keeps the test
loudly failing when locale resolution silently degrades.
Six days after #23937 (608 fixes) the codebase had accumulated 241 new
PLR6201 violations. Same mechanical `x in (...)` → `x in {...}` fix,
same zero-risk profile: set lookup is O(1) vs O(n) for tuple and the
two are semantically equivalent for hashable scalar membership tests.
All 241 instances fixed via `ruff check --select PLR6201 --fix
--unsafe-fixes`, zero remaining. Every changed value is a hashable
scalar (str/int/None/enum/signal); no risk of unhashable runtime
errors. No behavior change.
Test plan:
- 119 files changed, +244/-244 (net zero) — exactly one-line edits
- `ruff check` clean afterward
- Compile checks pass on the largest touched files (cli.py, run_agent.py,
gateway/run.py, gateway/platforms/discord.py, model_tools.py)
- Subset broad test run on tests/gateway/ tests/hermes_cli/ tests/agent/
tests/tools/: 18187 passed, 59 pre-existing failures (verified against
origin/main with the same shape — identical failure count, identical
category — all xdist test-order flakes unrelated to this change)
Follows the same template as PR #23937 ([tracker: #23972](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/23972)).
When Hermes runs on a remote host over SSH, MCP OAuth loopback flows
silently fail: the OAuth provider redirects the user's browser to
http://127.0.0.1:<port>/callback, which reaches the callback server
on the *remote* machine — not the local machine where the browser is
running.
_redirect_handler already detected SSH (via _can_open_browser) and
printed "Headless environment detected — open the URL manually." but
gave no guidance on how to actually reach the callback server. Users
got silent timeouts or "Could not establish connection" errors.
This is the same bug fixed for xAI-oauth and Spotify in #26592, which
added _print_loopback_ssh_hint() in hermes_cli/auth.py. mcp_oauth.py
uses the identical loopback callback pattern (http://127.0.0.1:<port>/callback
via _configure_callback_port / _wait_for_callback) but was missing the hint.
Fix: when SSH_CLIENT or SSH_TTY is set and _oauth_port is available,
print the ssh -N -L port-forward command and the OAuth-over-SSH guide
URL to stderr, consistent with the rest of _redirect_handler's output.
Tests: 4 new cases in TestRedirectHandlerSshHint covering SSH_CLIENT,
SSH_TTY, local session (no hint), and missing _oauth_port (no hint).
_configure_provider() calls _run_post_setup() after collecting env vars
(line 2286). _reconfigure_provider() did not — providers with both
env_vars and post_setup (Browserbase, Browser Use, Firecrawl, Camofox)
skipped the installation step on reconfiguration.
Fix: mirror the _configure_provider() call. post_setup hooks are
idempotent (check before installing), so no behaviour change for users
who already have the dependencies installed.
The x_search toolset is gated on xAI credentials (SuperGrok OAuth or
XAI_API_KEY), but it was staying off-by-default even for users who had
already configured those credentials — they had to also click through
`hermes tools` → X (Twitter) Search to flip it on. The HASS_TOKEN →
homeassistant rule already handles the parallel case cleanly; x_search
needs the same treatment.
Why a separate code path from HASS_TOKEN: `ha_*` tools live inside
the `hermes-cli` composite, so the subset-inference loop picks them
up and the HASS branch just unmasks default_off. `x_search` is its
own one-tool toolset NOT in the composite, so the subset loop never
adds it — it has to be injected directly.
* Add `_xai_credentials_present()` — side-effect-free check for stored
xAI OAuth tokens or XAI_API_KEY (dotenv or env). No network.
* In `_get_platform_tools()` else branch (no explicit user config),
inject `x_search` and carve a parallel hole in default_off.
* Auto-enable does NOT fire when the user has saved an explicit toolset
list via `hermes tools` — that list stays authoritative.
* `agent.disabled_toolsets: [x_search]` still wins (global override).
Tests: 4 new in test_tools_config.py covering OAuth path, API-key path,
no-creds path, and explicit-config-respect. All pass alongside existing
70/70 in that file.
The 5-second startup-grace filter in _on_room_message silently drops
events where event_ts < startup_ts - 5. When the host clock is set
ahead of real time, the comparison flips against every live event and
the bot 'connects but never replies' — exactly the symptom in #12614.
Reporter Schnurzel700 chased this for several weeks before tracing it
to their Debian VM's clock being out of sync. The current /1000.0
millisecond->second conversion is correct (mautrix returns ms); the
failure mode is purely environmental.
Add a one-shot WARNING that fires when:
- we are >30s past startup (initial-sync replay window closed), AND
- 3 consecutive drops share the same skew within 60s (a constant
clock offset, not varied-age backfill from an invited room).
State is reset in connect() so reconnects after fixing NTP rearm the
detector. Includes the NTP fix instruction in the warning message
itself and a new Troubleshooting entry in the Matrix docs.
5 new tests cover the happy path, initial-sync backfill, under-
threshold drops, varied-age backfill, and the reconnect rearm path.
run_agent.py taken from HEAD (the extracted forwarder structure). The 25
run_agent.py fixes that landed on main during the PR's life need to be
ported into the agent/* extracted modules in follow-up commits.
Tests in TestReadClaudeCodeCredentials were not mocking
_read_claude_code_credentials_from_keychain, which was added after the
tests were written. On macOS machines with real Claude Code credentials
stored in the Keychain, the function returns live credentials instead of
the test fixtures, causing assertions to fail and leaking real tokens in
test output.
Add an autouse fixture that stubs the keychain reader to None so all
tests in the class exercise only the file-based credential path.

Four fixes from PR #27248 review:
1. **__init__ forwarder is now keyword-forwarded** (daimon-nous review).
Previously the run_agent.AIAgent.__init__ wrapper forwarded all 64
params positionally to agent.agent_init.init_agent, so adding a
65th param on main would require three lockstep edits (signature,
init_agent signature, forwarder call) or silently shift every value.
Keyword forwarding makes this trivially safe — adding a param now
only needs the two signatures and one extra keyword line.
2. **Drop dead _ra() in agent/codex_runtime.py** (daimon-nous + Copilot).
The lazy run_agent reference was defined but never called inside
this module — the codex paths use agent.* accessors only.
3. **Drop unused imports in agent/codex_runtime.py** (Copilot):
contextvars, threading, time, uuid, Optional. Carried over from
run_agent.py during the original extraction.
4. **Tighten three source-introspection test guards** (Copilot):
- test_memory_nudge_counter_hydration.py — was scanning the
concatenated source of run_agent.py + agent/conversation_loop.py
and matching self.X or agent.X form. Now asserts the
hydration block lives in agent/conversation_loop.py specifically
with the agent.X form — the body never moves back, so if it
ever drifts a future re-introduction fails the guard.
- test_run_agent.py::TestMemoryNudgeCounterPersistence — anchor on
agent.iteration_budget = IterationBudget exactly (was just
iteration_budget = IterationBudget) so an unrelated identifier
ending in iteration_budget can't match.
- test_run_agent.py::TestMemoryProviderTurnStart — assert the
agent._user_turn_count form directly (the extracted body uses
agent.X, not self.X — accepting either was a transitional fudge).
- test_jsondecodeerror_retryable.py — scan agent/conversation_loop.py
only, not the concatenation.
Not addressed in this commit:
* Pre-existing bugs in agent/tool_executor.py (heartbeat index
mismatch when calls are blocked, _current_tool clobber in result
loop, blocked-counted-as-completed in spinner summary, dead
result_preview computation). These were preserved byte-for-byte from
the original _execute_tool_calls_concurrent — worth a separate
follow-up PR with proper tests.
* _OpenAIProxy.__instancecheck__ concern — pre-existing, not flagged
by any of the original test patches (nothing actually does
isinstance(x, OpenAI) against the proxy instance).
* agent_init.py:949 mem_config potential NameError — pre-existing;
only triggers if _agent_cfg.get('memory', {}) itself raises, which
it can't with a stock dict.
tests/run_agent/ + tests/agent/: 4313 passed, 1 pre-existing
test_auxiliary_client failure (unchanged).
run_agent.py: 3821 -> 3937 lines (+116 from the keyword-forwarded
init call's verbosity). Final: 16083 -> 3937 (-12146, 75% reduction).
Closes#26924 (and supersedes #26926) in spirit.
DeepSeek was missing `default_aux_model` on its `ProviderProfile`, so
`_get_aux_model_for_provider("deepseek")` returned an empty string and
the compression / vision / session-search paths emitted
"No auxiliary LLM provider configured -- context compression will
drop middle turns without a summary."
on every DeepSeek session, even when the user had perfectly working
DeepSeek credentials.
Fix lands at the profile layer rather than the legacy
`_API_KEY_PROVIDER_AUX_MODELS_FALLBACK` dict the original PR targeted.
Every modern provider (gemini, zai, minimax, anthropic, kimi-coding,
stepfun, ollama-cloud, gmi, novita, kilocode, ai-gateway, opencode-zen)
sets `default_aux_model` on its `ProviderProfile`; the fallback dict
only exists for providers that predate the profiles system.
Tests added under `tests/plugins/model_providers/test_deepseek_profile.py`:
- `test_profile_advertises_deepseek_chat` -- pins the profile attribute
- `test_consumer_api_returns_deepseek_chat` -- pins the consumer API behavior
- `test_consumer_api_returns_non_empty` -- regression guard for the
symptom in the issue
Original diagnosis and aux-model choice from @kriscolab in PR #26926;
moved one layer up.

Add test_returns_none_when_skill_load_fails to verify that
build_skill_invocation_message() returns None when a registered
skill exists in the command cache but _load_skill_payload() fails.
This guards against regression of the fix in 877d01b.
Consume multi-byte non-CSI ESC sequences during ANSI sanitization and handle UnicodeDecodeError for `hermes send --file` so review findings are resolved without regressions.
Avoid Terminal.app paint corruption by disabling fast-echo in that terminal, sanitizing non-SGR control sequences before ANSI rendering, and defaulting Apple Terminal back to the safer 256-color path unless truecolor is explicitly requested.
Pass skip_memory=True to the AIAgent constructor used by
_spawn_background_review() so the review fork's __init__ no longer
rebuilds a _memory_manager wired to honcho / mem0 / supermemory /
etc. under the parent's session_id.
Before this change, the review fork ingested its harness prompt
(the 'Review the conversation above and update the skill library...'
text) into the user's real memory namespace via three sites in
run_conversation():
- on_turn_start(turn_count, prompt) cadence + turn-message
- prefetch_all(prompt) recall query
- sync_all(prompt, review_output, ...) harness + review output
recorded as a
(user, assistant) pair
Built-in MEMORY.md / USER.md state is still rebound from the parent
right after construction, so memory(action='add') writes from the
review continue to land on disk; only the external-plugin side
effects are removed.
Reported by @Utku.
The Discord adapter silently dropped any attachment whose extension wasn't
in the SUPPORTED_DOCUMENT_TYPES allowlist (PDF, text family, zip, office).
Users uploading .wav / .bin / other unrecognized formats saw nothing in
their conversation — the file got logged as 'Unsupported document type'
and discarded before the agent ever saw it.
Add discord.allow_any_attachment (default false) to bypass the allowlist.
When on:
- Any file is downloaded, cached under ~/.hermes/cache/documents/, and
surfaced as a DOCUMENT-typed event with application/octet-stream MIME
- gateway/run.py already emits a context note with the cached path,
auto-translated via to_agent_visible_cache_path() for Docker/Modal
sandboxed terminals
- File body is NOT inlined — only the path — so binary uploads don't
blow up the context window
- Allowlisted text formats (.txt/.md/.log) keep their 100 KiB inline
behavior unchanged
Also adds discord.max_attachment_bytes (default 32 MiB matches the
historical hardcoded cap; 0 = unlimited) since users opting into arbitrary
types may want to raise the cap. The whole attachment is held in memory
while being cached, so unlimited carries a real memory cost.
Env overrides: DISCORD_ALLOW_ANY_ATTACHMENT, DISCORD_MAX_ATTACHMENT_BYTES.
Discord-only by deliberate scope. Telegram has hard 20 MB API limits and
Slack has its own caps — extending the same flag there is a separate
follow-up if/when requested.
The 3,877-line run_conversation body — the agent loop itself — moves out
of run_agent.py into a dedicated module. AIAgent.run_conversation is
now a thin forwarder that delegates to agent.conversation_loop.run_conversation
with the AIAgent instance as the first argument.
This is the largest single extraction in the run_agent.py refactor.
The body keeps all 163 self.X references intact (rewritten as agent.X),
all nested closures, all retry/backoff/compression machinery. Symbols
that tests or callers patch on run_agent (_set_interrupt,
handle_function_call, AIAgent class attrs) are resolved through _ra()
inside the extracted module so the patch surface is preserved.
Five tests doing inspect.getsource(AIAgent.run_conversation) updated to
scan agent.conversation_loop.run_conversation. Two source-introspection
tests (TestMemoryNudgeCounterPersistence, TestMemoryProviderTurnStart)
updated to accept either self.X (legacy) or agent.X (extracted
form) in the matched assertions.
Live E2E verified on three model paths:
* openai/gpt-5.4 (OpenAI chat completions via OpenRouter)
* anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6 (Anthropic Messages via OpenRouter)
* moonshotai/kimi-k2-thinking (reasoning model, reasoning_content path)
Plus read_file tool execution, terminal tool, web_search.
tests/run_agent/ + tests/agent/: 4313 passed, 1 pre-existing failure
(test_auxiliary_client::test_custom_endpoint... — same as on main).
run_agent.py: 9800 -> 5944 lines (-3856).
Total reduction since baseline: 16083 -> 5944 (-10139, 63%).
Move _interruptible_streaming_api_call out of run_agent.py — the biggest
single method in the file. Body lives next to interruptible_api_call
in agent/chat_completion_helpers.py so streaming + non-streaming code
share one home.
Nested closures (_call_chat_completions, _call_anthropic, the codex
stream branch) all come along with the body and still capture the
parent function's locals as expected.
AIAgent keeps a thin forwarder method. is_local_endpoint added to
the import block (used by the stream stale-timeout disable logic).
One source-introspection test in TestAnthropicInterruptHandler is
updated to scan agent.chat_completion_helpers.interruptible_streaming_api_call
instead of AIAgent._interruptible_streaming_api_call.
tests/run_agent/ + tests/agent/: 4312 passed (same pre-existing
test_auxiliary_client failure).
run_agent.py: 12277 -> 11385 lines (-892).
Move the two big tool-dispatch methods out of run_agent.py:
* execute_tool_calls_concurrent — 408-line concurrent path (interrupt
pre-flight, guardrail+plugin block, callback fan-out, ContextVar-
preserving ThreadPoolExecutor, periodic heartbeats for the gateway
inactivity monitor, per-tool result handling with subdir hints +
guardrail observations + checkpoint, /steer drain)
* execute_tool_calls_sequential — 441-line sequential path (the
original behavior used for single-tool batches and interactive
tools)
Both take the parent AIAgent as their first argument; AIAgent keeps
thin forwarders so call sites unchanged. handle_function_call is
routed through _ra() so tests that patch run_agent.handle_function_call
keep working. _set_interrupt likewise.
The AST guard in test_tool_executor_contextvar_propagation.py is
updated to scan both run_agent.py AND agent/tool_executor.py so it
still catches the executor.submit(_run_tool, ...) regression
regardless of which file the body lives in.
tests/run_agent/ + tests/agent/: 4313 passed (same pre-existing
test_auxiliary_client failure as before).
run_agent.py: 14309 -> 13461 lines (-848).
After context compression, the protected tail messages retain their
original image parts. When those include multi-MB pasted screenshots,
every subsequent API request re-ships the same base-64 blobs forever —
which can push the request past provider body-size limits and wedge the
session even though compression 'succeeded'.
Add _strip_historical_media() to agent/context_compressor.py. After the
summary is built, find the newest user message that carries an image
part and replace image parts in every earlier message with a short
text placeholder ('[Attached image — stripped after compression]').
The newest image-bearing user turn keeps its media so the model can
still analyse what the user just sent.
Handles all three multimodal shapes:
- OpenAI chat.completions image_url
- OpenAI Responses API input_image
- Anthropic native {type: image, source: ...}
Includes 27 unit tests covering the helpers and the end-to-end
compress() integration, plus a manual E2E check confirming a ~4MB
two-image conversation shrinks to ~2MB after compression.
Add a TestDiscoverAllPlugins class covering the six cases the recursive
scan needs to handle:
- flat plugin uses its manifest ``name:`` as the key
- category-namespaced plugin keys off ``<category>/<dirname>`` even when
the manifest ``name:`` is bare (regression test for the original bug —
``plugins/observability/langfuse/`` with ``name: langfuse`` must
surface as ``observability/langfuse``, not ``langfuse``)
- user-installed plugin overrides bundled on key collision
- depth cap: anything below ``<root>/<category>/<plugin>/`` is ignored
- bundled ``memory/`` and ``context_engine/`` are skipped (they have
their own loaders), but user plugins under those category names are
still scanned
Also add an in-source comment next to the key derivation pointing at the
loader's matching line (``PluginManager._parse_manifest`` in
plugins.py:1027-1028), so future renames of one site flag the other.
Both items raised in Copilot review on #27161.

Introduces a thin CLI wrapper around the existing send_message_tool so
shell scripts, cron scripts, CI hooks, and monitoring daemons can reuse
the gateway's already-configured platform credentials without
reimplementing each platform's REST client.
hermes send --to telegram "deploy finished"
echo "RAM 92%" | hermes send --to telegram:-1001234567890
hermes send --to discord:#ops --file report.md
hermes send --to slack:#eng --subject "[CI]" --file build.log
hermes send --list # all targets
hermes send --list telegram # filter by platform
Supports all platforms the send_message tool already does (Telegram,
Discord, Slack, Signal, SMS, WhatsApp, Matrix, Feishu, DingTalk, WeCom,
Weixin, Email, etc.), including threaded targets and #channel-name
resolution via the channel directory.
hermes_cli/send_cmd.py delegates to tools.send_message_tool.send_message_tool,
which means there is zero new platform-specific code. The subcommand just:
1. Bridges ~/.hermes/.env and top-level ~/.hermes/config.yaml scalars into
os.environ (same bootstrap the gateway does at startup) — required so
TELEGRAM_HOME_CHANNEL and friends are visible to load_gateway_config().
2. Resolves the message body from positional arg, --file, or piped stdin.
3. Calls the shared tool and translates its JSON result to exit codes:
0 success, 1 delivery failure, 2 usage error.
No running gateway is required for bot-token platforms (Telegram, Discord,
Slack, Signal, SMS, WhatsApp) — the tool hits each platform's REST API
directly. Plugin platforms that rely on a live adapter connection still
need the gateway running; the error message is forwarded verbatim.
- New guide: website/docs/guides/pipe-script-output.md covering real-world
patterns (memory watchdogs, CI hooks, cron pipes, long-running task
completion pings) and the security/gateway notes.
- Cross-links added from automate-with-cron.md ("no LLM? use hermes send")
and developer-guide/gateway-internals.md (delivery-path section).
tests/hermes_cli/test_send_cmd.py (20 tests, all green):
- Happy paths: positional message, stdin, --file, --file -, --subject,
--json, --quiet.
- Error paths: missing --to, missing body, file not found, tool returns
error payload (exit 1), tool skipped-send result (exit 0).
- --list: human output, --json output, platform filter, unknown platform.
- Env loader: bridges config.yaml scalars into env, does not override
existing env vars, gracefully handles missing files.
- Registrar contract: register_send_subparser() returns a working parser.
Smoke-tested end-to-end against a live Telegram bot before commit.
In long-lived interactive sessions, _try_activate_fallback() advances
_fallback_index before attempting client resolution. When resolution
fails (provider not configured, etc.) the function returns False without
ever setting _fallback_activated=True. _restore_primary_runtime() then
skips its reset block entirely (guarded by `if not _fallback_activated`),
leaving _fallback_index >= len(_fallback_chain) for all subsequent turns.
The eager-fallback guard at the top of the retry loop checks
`_fallback_index < len(_fallback_chain)`, so the condition fails silently
and no fallback is ever attempted again for that session.
Cron jobs spawn a fresh AIAgent per run and never hit this path, which is
why the same fallback chain works reliably for cron but not interactive.
Fix: reset _fallback_index=0 in the `not _fallback_activated` early-return
branch so every new turn starts with the full chain available.
Fixes#20465
xAI's Responses stream emits 'type=error' as the FIRST SSE frame when an
OAuth account is unsubscribed/exhausted or rejects the encrypted-reasoning
replay introduced in the May 2026 SuperGrok rollout. The SDK helper
raises RuntimeError(Expected to have received response.created before
error), which the caller correctly routes to
_run_codex_create_stream_fallback. The fallback then opens a new stream
that emits the same 'error' frame — but the fallback loop only handled
{response.completed, response.incomplete, response.failed} and silently
continue'd past 'error' events. Result: the loop fell off the end of
the stream and raised the useless 'fallback did not emit a terminal
response' RuntimeError, which the classifier marked retryable=True and
looped 3x before failing with no clue what went wrong.
Now: 'error' frames raise a synthesized _StreamErrorEvent with an OpenAI
SDK-shaped .body so _summarize_api_error, _extract_api_error_context,
_is_entitlement_failure, and classify_api_error all see the real
provider message. Users on unsubscribed accounts now see 'do not have
an active Grok subscription' once, not three RuntimeErrors.
Verified end-to-end: classifier returns reason=auth retryable=False;
entitlement detector matches even with status_code=None; summarizer
returns the full xAI message.
Tests: 4 new in TestCodexFallbackErrorEvent covering xAI subscription
message, dict-shaped events, summarizer integration, and the empty-stream
case (must still raise the original RuntimeError so 'truncated mid-flight'
stays distinguishable from 'provider rejected the call').
Adds a pure-local recap of recent session activity — turn counts,
tools used, files touched, last user ask, last assistant reply —
appended to the existing /status output. Useful when juggling multiple
sessions and you want a one-glance reminder of where this one left off.
Inspired by Claude Code 2.1.114's /recap, but folded into /status so
we don't add a 6th info command. Pure local computation: no LLM call,
no auxiliary model, no prompt-cache invalidation, instant and free.
Salvage of #18587 — kept the shared hermes_cli.session_recap.build_recap
helper and its 13 unit tests, dropped the /recap slash command +
ACTIVE_SESSION_BYPASS_COMMANDS entry + Level-2 bypass since /status
already covers both surfaces.
Tailored to hermes-agent's tool vocabulary: file-editing tools
(patch, write_file, read_file, skill_manage, skill_view) surface
touched paths; tool-call counts highlight which classes of work
drove the session.
Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/whats-new/2026-w17
Surface live background-task count in the prompt_toolkit status bar so users
can see at a glance that a /background task exists and is running — no need
to ask the agent about it (the agent has no visibility into bg sessions by
design).
- _get_status_bar_snapshot now reports active_background_tasks from len()
of the live _background_tasks dict (entries are removed in the task
thread's finally block, so this reflects truly-running tasks)
- Indicator shown only on medium (<76) and wide (>=76) tiers; narrow (<52)
stays minimal since it's already cramped
- No invalidate plumbing needed: status bar fragments are pulled via lambda
on every redraw, and the bg thread already calls _app.invalidate() on exit
Refs #8568
xAI announced on 2026-05-16 (https://x.ai/news/grok-hermes) that X Premium
subscriptions now work in Hermes Agent. The hint we shipped in PR #26644
asserted the opposite ("X Premium+ does NOT include xAI API access — only
standalone SuperGrok subscribers can use this provider"), which would now
misdirect Premium+ users who hit any other 403 (no Grok sub at all, wrong
tier, exhausted quota) into thinking they need to switch subscriptions
when their sub is in fact valid.
Remove _decorate_xai_entitlement_error and its two call sites in
_summarize_api_error. xAI's own body text already says "Manage subscriptions
at https://grok.com/?_s=usage" — surface that verbatim and let xAI's wording
do the diagnosis.
The _is_entitlement_failure guard (which prevents credential-pool refresh
loops on entitlement 403s) and the reasoning-replay gating for xai-oauth
are unrelated and untouched.
Update tests to assert the body still surfaces verbatim and that no
Hermes-side editorializing is appended.
Port from anomalyco/opencode#25019 ("fix: handle invalid mcp urls").
Previously: a typo in `config.yaml` (missing scheme, wrong scheme,
empty string, non-string value) slipped past `_is_http()` and hit
`httpx.URL(url)` or `streamablehttp_client(url, ...)` deep in the
transport layer. That raised a generic exception which went through
the reconnect-backoff loop, so a bad URL caused _MAX_INITIAL_CONNECT_RETRIES
attempts with doubling backoff — about a minute of pointless retries
plus an opaque error — before the server was marked failed.
Now: we validate the URL once, at the top of `run()`, before
entering the retry loop. A malformed URL raises `InvalidMcpUrlError`
(a `ValueError` subclass) with a message that names the offending
server and explains exactly what was wrong. `_ready` is set and
`_error` is populated, so `start()` re-raises and the server shows
up as failed in `hermes mcp list` without any backoff burn.
Validation rules:
- Must be a string (rejects None, dict, int)
- Must be non-empty (rejects '' and whitespace-only)
- Scheme must be http or https (rejects file://, ws://, stdio://)
- Must have a non-empty host (rejects http:///, http://:8080)
Tests (21 new cases in tests/tools/test_mcp_invalid_url.py):
- TestValidUrlsAccepted: http, https, IPv6, ports, paths, query strings
- TestInvalidUrlsRejected: every rejection path above + clear error text
- TestErrorIsValueError: downstream code catching ValueError still works
E2E verified: a misconfigured server with `url: not-a-valid-url`
now fails in <0.001s with the clear error, instead of minutes of retries.
Doesn't touch stdio servers (they use `command`, not `url`) — the
validator only fires when `_is_http()` returns True.
Port from anomalyco/opencode#24730: Moonshot's JSON Schema validator rejects
two shapes that the rest of the JSON Schema ecosystem accepts:
1. $ref nodes with sibling keywords. Moonshot expands the reference before
validation and then rejects the node if keys like `description`, `type`,
or `default` appear alongside $ref. MCP-sourced tool schemas commonly
put a `description` on $ref-typed properties so the model sees the
field hint — which worked on every provider except Moonshot.
2. Tuple-style `items` arrays (positional element schemas). Moonshot's
engine requires ONE schema applied to every array element. Common in
tool schemas generated from Go/Protobuf that model fixed-length arrays
as `[{type:number}, {type:number}]`.
Repairs applied in `agent/moonshot_schema.py`:
- Rule 3: when a node has `$ref`, return `{"$ref": <value>}` only
(strip every sibling). The referenced definition still carries its own
description on the target node, which Moonshot accepts.
- Rule 4: when `items` is a list, collapse to the first element schema
(falling back to `{}` which is then filled by the generic missing-type
rule). Preserves `minItems` / `maxItems` / other siblings.
Tests: 10 new cases across TestRefSiblingStripping + TestTupleItems,
plus the existing TestMissingTypeFilled::test_ref_node_is_not_given_synthetic_type
still passes (it asserted plain $ref passes through; now it passes through
as exactly `{"$ref": "..."}` which is strictly compatible).
All 35 tests in test_moonshot_schema.py pass.
Emit a grep-friendly '[MEMORY] rss=...MB ...' line in agent.log /
gateway.log every N minutes (default 5) so slow leaks in the long-lived
gateway process show up as a time series. Based on
https://github.com/cline/cline/pull/10343
(src/standalone/memory-monitor.ts).
- gateway/memory_monitor.py: new module. Daemon thread, baseline on
start, final snapshot on stop. Uses resource.getrusage() (stdlib)
first, falls back to psutil, disables itself with one WARNING if
neither is available.
- gateway/run.py: start monitor right after setup_logging() in
start_gateway(); stop it in the shutdown block next to MCP teardown.
- hermes_cli/config.py: logging.memory_monitor { enabled, interval_seconds }
defaults under the existing logging section.
- tests/gateway/test_memory_monitor.py: 10 unit tests covering format,
baseline/shutdown snapshots, double-start noop, periodic timer,
daemon thread invariant, and unavailable-RSS warn-and-skip path.
Adapted from TypeScript/Node to Python (threading.Event-based daemon
thread instead of setInterval/unref), added Python-specific gc + thread
counts to the log line (handier than ext/arrayBuffers for diagnosing
Python gateway leaks), and gated behind a config.yaml toggle so users
can silence the periodic line if they want.
No heap-snapshot-on-OOM equivalent — CPython doesn't have V8's
--heapsnapshot-near-heap-limit; tracemalloc would be the Python
equivalent but adds non-trivial overhead, so leaving that out.
Port from google-gemini/gemini-cli#19332.
Users can now exit with '/exit --delete' (or '/quit --delete', '/exit -d')
to permanently remove the current session's SQLite history plus on-disk
transcripts (*.json / *.jsonl / request_dump_*) in one shot. Useful for
privacy-sensitive workflows and one-off interactions where leaving a
session recording behind is undesirable.
Implementation:
- New HermesCLI._delete_session_on_exit one-shot flag (defaults False).
- process_command() parses --delete / -d after /exit or /quit and arms
the flag. Unknown args print a hint and keep the CLI running (prevents
typos like '/exit -delete' from accidentally exiting).
- Shutdown path calls SessionDB.delete_session(session_id, sessions_dir=...)
right after end_session() when the flag is set. That API already
existed for 'hermes sessions delete' and handles both SQLite removal
(orphaning child sessions so FK constraints hold) and on-disk file
cleanup.
- /quit CommandDef now advertises '[--delete]' in args_hint so /help
and CLI autocomplete surface it.
Tests: tests/cli/test_exit_delete_session.py (12 cases covering both
aliases, case insensitivity, whitespace, short form, unknown-arg
rejection, and registry metadata).
E2E-verified with isolated HERMES_HOME: session row deleted, all three
transcript/request-dump files removed, second delete_session call
correctly returns False.
`hermes update` ran the repo-root and ui-tui npm installs with both
`--silent` and `subprocess.run(..., capture_output=True)`, which hides
all output from optional postinstall scripts. The largest of those —
`@askjo/camofox-browser`'s `npx camoufox-js fetch` — downloads a
Firefox-fork browser binary that can take many minutes on slow
connections. Because nothing was printed during that wait, the updater
appeared to hang at "Updating Node.js dependencies..." and users
Ctrl-C'd, sometimes leaving `node_modules` partially installed.
Drop `--silent` and pass `capture_output=False` for the repo-root and
ui-tui paths so npm streams its `info run …` postinstall lines straight
to the terminal. Output is still mirrored to `~/.hermes/logs/update.log`
by the existing `_UpdateOutputStream` wrapper, so SSH-disconnect safety
is preserved.
The `web/` install path is untouched — its build step is fast and does
not run binary-fetching postinstalls.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The `@askjo/camofox-browser` npm package was a top-level entry in
the root `package.json` `dependencies` block, so `hermes update`
ran its postinstall on every user, every update. That postinstall
calls `npx camoufox-js fetch`, which silently downloads a ~300MB
Firefox-fork browser binary from GitHub Releases — multi-minute on
fast connections, and a hard block for users on slow / restricted
networks (notably users in China running through a VPN).
Camofox is an explicit opt-in browser backend. The runtime check
in `tools/browser_tool.py` only routes through Camofox when the
user has set `CAMOFOX_URL` (selected via `hermes tools` →
Browser Automation → Camofox). Users who never opted in never
touched the package at runtime, yet every `hermes update` paid
for the binary fetch anyway.
This change:
* Removes `@askjo/camofox-browser` from root `package.json`
dependencies (and the regenerated `package-lock.json` drops
Camofox's entire transitive tree, ~2.6k lines).
* Updates the Camofox `post_setup` handler in
`hermes_cli/tools_config.py` to install
`@askjo/camofox-browser@^1.5.2` explicitly when the user
selects Camofox, and streams npm output (no `--silent`, no
`capture_output`) so the ~300MB download is visible rather
than appearing frozen.
* Adds `tests/test_package_json_lazy_deps.py` as a regression
guard so future PRs can't silently re-add Camofox (or any
binary-postinstall package) to eager root dependencies.
`agent-browser` stays eager — it is the default Chromium-driving
backend used by every session that does not have a cloud browser
provider configured, and its postinstall is small.
Validation:
| | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| `hermes update` time on slow network | multi-minute hang at `→ Updating Node.js dependencies...` | seconds (no binary fetch) |
| Camofox opt-in install visibility | silent, looked frozen | streamed npm output |
| Regression guard against re-adding | none | `test_package_json_lazy_deps.py` |
Tests:
- `tests/test_package_json_lazy_deps.py`: 3/3 pass
- `tests/tools/test_browser_camofox*`: 92/92 pass
- `tests/hermes_cli/test_tools_config.py`: 66/66 pass
- `tests/hermes_cli/test_cmd_update.py` + adjacent: green
Reported by lulu (Discord, May 2026) — `hermes update` hangs at
`→ Updating Node.js dependencies...` in China.

Port from qwibitai/nanoclaw#1962: modern Signal V2-only groups surface on
dataMessage.groupV2.id, not groupInfo.groupId. signal-cli versions differ
in which field they expose for V2 groups — some forward the underlying
libsignal envelope verbatim (groupV2), others normalize everything into
groupInfo. Without a groupV2 read, V2-only groups appear as DMs because
groupInfo is undefined and the adapter misroutes them to the sender's
DM session.
Reads groupV2.id first, falls back to groupInfo.groupId. Also hardens
chat_name extraction against non-dict groupInfo payloads (crashed with
AttributeError under malformed envelopes).
6 new tests cover V2 routing, V1 legacy compatibility, V2-preferred
precedence, no-group DM path, allowlist enforcement, and malformed
payloads.
Switches `_replay_session_history` from `loop.call_soon`-deferred (after the
`LoadSessionResponse` is written) to `await`-inline (before the response is
constructed) for both `session/load` and `session/resume`. Adds defensive
try/except around the awaited call so a replay helper crash still yields a
successful load response — partial transcripts are acceptable, total
load failure is not.
The deferral was added on May 2 in commit 19854c7cd with the rationale "Zed
only attaches streamed transcript/tool updates once the load/resume response
has completed." That justification was incorrect:
- Zed's current ACP integration (zed-industries/zed
crates/agent_servers/src/acp.rs) explicitly registers the session-update
routing entry BEFORE awaiting the loadSession RPC, with the comment:
"so that any session/update notifications that arrive during the call
(e.g. history replay during session/load) can find the thread."
- Every other reference ACP server (Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Pi, agentao)
replays history BEFORE responding to the load request.
- The ACP spec wording ("Stream the entire conversation history back to the
client via notifications") and the natural JSON-RPC reading both mean
"during the request's lifetime", not "after the response resolves".
Empirical reproduction (reported by Biraj on @agentclientprotocol/sdk
v0.21.1): the same custom ACP client works correctly against Codex /
Claude Code / OpenCode / Pi but receives 0 notifications from Hermes
because it measures the per-call notification count at the moment
`loadSession` resolves — which on Hermes was before the `call_soon`-
scheduled replay coroutine had a chance to run.
Changes:
- `acp_adapter/server.py`: remove `_schedule_history_replay`; both
`load_session` and `resume_session` now `await self._replay_session_history`
before returning, wrapped in try/except that logs and continues on
helper exceptions.
- `tests/acp/test_server.py`: replace the single
`test_load_session_schedules_history_replay_after_response`
(which encoded the now-incorrect post-response ordering) with two tests
asserting `events == ["replay", "returned"]` for load and resume.
Add two regression tests confirming that a replay helper raising still
yields a `LoadSessionResponse` / `ResumeSessionResponse` rather than
propagating the exception out as a JSON-RPC error.
Result: 240 ACP tests pass (was 238), ruff clean. Verified end-to-end:
biraj's synchronous notification-counter pattern now sees 6 notifications
during `loadSession` for a 5-message session, matching all other reference
ACP servers.
The `_fenced_text` change in `acp_adapter/tools.py` from the same May 2
commit is orthogonal and intentionally left intact — it's a separate,
still-valid fix for Zed's pipe-as-table rendering.
Refs #12285. Follows up #26943 (which added thought-chunk replay but kept
the deferral).
Persisted assistant `reasoning_content` / `reasoning` fields are now emitted
as ACP `agent_thought_chunk` notifications during `_replay_session_history`,
so editor clients (Zed, etc.) rebuild collapsed Thinking panes when the user
re-opens a session that used a thinking model.
Ordering matches live streaming: thought precedes message text within the
same assistant turn, mirroring how `reasoning_callback` deltas arrive before
`stream_delta_callback` deltas in `events.py::make_thinking_cb` /
`make_message_cb`.
Behavior on non-reasoning histories is unchanged; the replay loop's existing
text / tool_call / tool_call_update / plan emission is preserved bit-for-bit.
Closes#12285.

- @Yukipukii1 (#14691) — original thought-replay design via
`acp.update_agent_thought_text`; the tool-call portion of that PR has
since landed via #19139, but the reasoning replay is theirs.
- @HenkDz (#17652 / #18578) — established the `_replay_session_history` and
`_history_*` helper conventions this builds on.
- @D1zzyDwarf (#16531) — also closed by this work.
Two unit tests for run_hermes_oauth_login_pure():
1. test_authorization_url_state_is_not_pkce_verifier — asserts state in the
auth URL is independent from the PKCE code_verifier sent in the token
exchange, and that the verifier never appears in the URL.
2. test_callback_state_mismatch_aborts — asserts the flow returns None
(no token exchange) when the callback state does not match the value
we generated.
Negative control verified: reintroducing the b17e5c10 vulnerable pattern
(state = verifier, no callback validation) makes both tests fail.
Also adds AUTHOR_MAP entry for shaun0927 (contributor of the fix).
When the agent is running and the user sends multiple TEXT messages in
rapid succession, base.py's active-session branch stored the pending
event as a single-slot replacement:
self._pending_messages[session_key] = event
Three rapid messages A, B, C landed as: A (interrupts), B (replaces A
before consumer reads), C (replaces B). Only C reached the next turn —
A and B were silently dropped. This is the symptom in #4469.
Route the follow-up through merge_pending_message_event(..., merge_text=True)
so TEXT events accumulate into the existing pending event's text instead
of clobbering it. Photo and media bursts already merged through the same
helper; this just extends the merge_text path (already used by the
Telegram bursty-grace branch in gateway/run.py) to all platforms.
Test exercises BasePlatformAdapter.handle_message directly with the
session marked active and asserts three rapid TEXT events merge to
'part two\\npart three' rather than dropping the middle message.
Sanity-checked the test would fail without the fix.
Credits @devorun for the original investigation and analysis in #4491
that surfaced the underlying queue handling, though their fix targeted
GatewayRunner._pending_messages which is now dead state on main.
Follow-up improvements on top of @konsisumer's cherry-picked fix for #10648:
1. Deprecation patterns required BOTH a product fingerprint ('gh-copilot') and
a deprecation marker. The previous list included 'copilot-cli' and bare
'deprecation', which would false-positive on stderr from the NEW
@github/copilot CLI — whose repo is literally github.com/github/copilot-cli
and which legitimately surfaces those substrings in its own messages.
2. Replace the deprecation hint. The user in #10648 installed
'gh extension install github/gh-copilot' (the deprecated extension)
thinking that's what ACP mode uses, when ACP actually spawns the new
'copilot' binary from '@github/copilot'. The hint now points users at the
correct install command ('npm install -g @github/copilot') with the new
CLI's repo URL, and demotes provider-switching to a fallback alternative.
3. Change _URL_TO_PROVIDER value for models.inference.ai.azure.com from the
'github-models' alias to the canonical 'copilot' provider id, matching the
convention used by every other entry in the table.
4. Sharpen the 413 hint message. The free tier's ~8K cap is below the
system-prompt floor, so this endpoint is fundamentally incompatible with
an agentic loop — not a 'use a different URL' problem.
Tests:
- New parametrized false-positive coverage for the new CLI's stderr shape.
- Updated assertion to require canonical 'copilot' provider mapping.
- All 14 deprecation/URL tests pass.
Cover the deprecation pattern matching against real gh-copilot stderr
output, verify the GitHub Models Azure URL is in _URL_TO_PROVIDER, and
confirm _is_github_models_base_url recognises the Azure endpoint.
Fixes#26693
`hermes doctor` currently promotes invalid direct API keys into the final
summary even when the matching OAuth path is already healthy. That makes
the setup look more broken than it really is.
This change keeps the failed API Connectivity row visible but stops
treating it as a blocking summary issue when a healthy OAuth fallback
already exists for the same provider family.
Covered cases:
- Gemini OAuth + invalid direct Gemini key
- MiniMax OAuth + invalid direct MiniMax key
Based on #26704 by @worlldz.
Port three hardening patches from Claude Code 2.1.113's expanded deny
rules to hermes' detect_dangerous_command() pattern list.
1. macOS /private/{etc,var,tmp,home} system paths
/etc, /var, /tmp, /home are symlinks to /private/<name> on macOS.
A write to /private/etc/sudoers works identically to /etc/sudoers
but bypassed the plain /etc/ pattern check. Extracted a shared
_SYSTEM_CONFIG_PATH fragment so /etc/ and the /private/ mirror
stay in sync across redirect / tee / cp / mv / install / sed -i
patterns.
2. killall -9 / -KILL / -SIGKILL / -s KILL / -r <regex>
Parallel to the existing pkill -9 pattern. killall -9 against
non-hermes processes was previously unprotected, and killall -r
can sweep unrelated processes matching a regex.
3. find -execdir rm
Same destructive effect as find -exec rm but ran in each match's
directory. The previous pattern required a literal '-exec ' so
-execdir slipped through.
Guarded by 32 new test cases in 4 test classes:
- TestMacOSPrivateSystemPaths (11 cases)
- TestKillallKillSignals (9 cases)
- TestFindExecdir (4 cases)
- TestEtcPatternsUnaffectedByRefactor (6 regression guards on
the existing /etc/ coverage after the _SYSTEM_CONFIG_PATH refactor)
Inspiration: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/releases
(Claude Code 2.1.113, April 17 2026 - "Enhanced deny rules" and
"Dangerous path protection")
Port from openai/codex#17667: MCP servers can now opt-in to parallel
tool execution by setting supports_parallel_tool_calls: true in their
config. This allows tools from the same server to run concurrently
within a single tool-call batch, matching the behavior already available
for built-in tools like web_search and read_file.
Previously all MCP tools were forced sequential because they weren't in
the _PARALLEL_SAFE_TOOLS set. Now _should_parallelize_tool_batch checks
is_mcp_tool_parallel_safe() which looks up the server's config flag.
Config example:
mcp_servers:
docs:
command: "docs-server"
supports_parallel_tool_calls: true
Changes:
- tools/mcp_tool.py: Track parallel-safe servers in _parallel_safe_servers
set, populated during register_mcp_servers(). Add is_mcp_tool_parallel_safe()
public API.
- run_agent.py: Add _is_mcp_tool_parallel_safe() lazy-import wrapper. Update
_should_parallelize_tool_batch() to check MCP tools against server config.
- 11 new tests covering the feature end-to-end.
- Updated MCP docs and config reference.
Subagent delegation hardcoded api_mode='chat_completions' for any
delegation.base_url that didn't match three specific hostnames
(chatgpt.com, api.anthropic.com, api.kimi.com/coding), and never
read delegation.api_mode from config. Azure AI Foundry's
https://foundry.services.ai.azure.com/anthropic endpoint fell through
and got chat_completions, causing 404s on every delegate_task call.
The main agent already handles this correctly via the shared
_detect_api_mode_for_url() helper (anything ending in /anthropic →
anthropic_messages); delegation reimplemented its own narrower check.
Reuse the shared detector and honor an explicit delegation.api_mode
when set so users can also force the transport on non-standard
endpoints the URL heuristic can't classify.
Fixes#10213.

* feat(x_search): gated X (Twitter) search tool with OAuth-or-API-key auth
Salvages tools/x_search_tool.py from the closed PR #10786 (originally by
@Jaaneek) and reworks its credential resolution so the tool registers
when EITHER xAI credential path is available:
* XAI_API_KEY (paid xAI API key) is set in ~/.hermes/.env or the env, OR
* The user is signed in via xAI Grok OAuth — SuperGrok subscription —
i.e. hermes auth add xai-oauth has been run
Both paths route through xAI's built-in x_search Responses tool at
https://api.x.ai/v1/responses. When both credentials exist OAuth wins,
matching tools/xai_http.py's existing preference order (uses SuperGrok
quota instead of paid API spend).
The check_fn calls resolve_xai_http_credentials() which auto-refreshes
the OAuth access token if it's within the refresh skew window, so a
True return means the bearer is fetchable AND non-empty.
Wiring
- tools/x_search_tool.py — new tool, ~370 LOC. Schema gated by check_fn,
bearer resolved per-call so revoked OAuth surfaces a clean tool_error
rather than an HTTP 401.
- toolsets.py — "x_search" toolset def. NOT added to _HERMES_CORE_TOOLS;
users opt in via hermes tools.
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py — CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS entry + TOOL_CATEGORIES
block with two provider options (OAuth + API key) sharing the existing
xai_grok post_setup hook for credential bootstrap.
- hermes_cli/config.py — DEFAULT_CONFIG["x_search"] with model /
timeout_seconds / retries. Additive nested key; no version bump.
- tests/tools/test_x_search_tool.py — 13 tests covering HTTP shape,
handle validation, citation extraction, 4xx/5xx/timeout handling,
and the full credential-resolution matrix (OAuth-only, API-key-only,
both-set, neither-set, resolver-raises, config overrides, registry
registration).
- website/docs/guides/xai-grok-oauth.md — adds X Search to the
direct-to-xAI tools section with off-by-default note.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/tools.md — new row in the tools table.
Off by default — users enable via `hermes tools` → 🐦 X (Twitter) Search.
Schema only appears to the model when xAI credentials are configured.

- website/docs/reference/tools-reference.md — new "x_search" toolset
section with parameter docs and credential gating note.

Adds _sanitize_tool_error() in model_tools and routes both error paths
through it: registry.dispatch's try/except (the primary path for tool
exceptions) and handle_function_call's outer except (defense in depth).
Stripping targets structural framing tokens that the model itself can
react to even though json.dumps already handles wire-layer escaping:
XML role tags (tool_call, function_call, result, response, output,
input, system, assistant, user), CDATA sections, and markdown code
fences. Caps message body at 2000 chars and wraps with [TOOL_ERROR]
prefix.
Defense-in-depth: a tool exception carrying '<tool_call>...' won't
break message framing (json escapes it), but the model still reads
those tokens and they nudge it toward role-confusion framing.
Ported from ironclaw#1639 (one piece of #3838's three-feature scout).
The truncated-tool-call (#1632) and empty-response-recovery (#1677,
#1720) pieces are skipped because main now implements both far more
thoroughly (run_agent.py L8147/L12209/L13012 for truncation retry +
length rewrite; L4500/L15090+ for empty-response scaffolding stripper,
multi-stage nudge, fallback model activation).
Plugins can now replace a built-in tool by passing override=True to
ctx.register_tool(). Without it, the registry rejects any registration
that would shadow an existing tool from a different toolset (unchanged
default behavior).
Unlocks the use case from #11049: drop-in replacement of browser/web
backends without forking core. Composes with the existing pre_tool_call
hook for runtime interception of any implementation.
The override is audit-logged at INFO so it surfaces in agent.log.
Thin wrapper around Imbue's darwinian_evolver (AGPL-3.0, subprocess-only).
Ships a working OpenRouter driver (parrot_openrouter.py), a snapshot
inspector (show_snapshot.py), and a custom-problem template. SKILL.md
has 58-char description, Pitfalls sourced from actually running the loop:
non-viable seed trap, Azure content filter killing runs, loop.run() being
a generator, nested-pickle snapshots, and aggressive default concurrency.
Salvaged from #12719 by @Bihruze — original PR shipped 12,289 LOC across
61 files (29 Python modules, FastAPI dashboard, VS Code extension,
benchmark hub, marketplace, etc.) which was far beyond the scope of the
underlying issue (#336). This version stays at the ~700-LOC scope that
issue actually asked for. Authorship of the original effort credited via
AUTHOR_MAP entry and the SKILL.md author field.
Verified end-to-end: seed 'Say {{ phrase }}' (score 0.000) evolved into
'Please repeat the following phrase exactly as it is, without any
modifications or additional formatting: {{ phrase }}' (score 0.750)
across 3 iterations on gpt-4o-mini via OpenRouter.

Tirith ships no Windows binary, so on every Windows CLI startup users
saw a scary 'tirith security scanner enabled but not available' banner
they could not act on. The banner suggested degraded security; in
reality pattern-matching guards still run and the message was pure noise.
Fix:
- New public is_platform_supported() helper in tools/tirith_security.py
that returns False when _detect_target() doesn't resolve (Windows, any
non-x86_64/aarch64 arch).
- ensure_installed(), _resolve_tirith_path(), and check_command_security()
short-circuit on unsupported platforms: cache _resolved_path =
_INSTALL_FAILED with reason 'unsupported_platform', skip PATH probes,
skip the background download thread, skip the disk failure marker, and
return allow with an empty summary from check_command_security so the
spawn loop never fires.
- Explicit user-configured tirith_path is still honored everywhere (a
user who built tirith themselves under WSL keeps that path).
- CLI banner in cli.py gated on is_platform_supported() — fires only on
platforms where tirith *should* work but isn't installed.
- Docs note tirith's supported-platform list and point Windows users at
WSL.
Tests: tests/tools/test_tirith_security.py +8 tests covering Linux
x86_64, Darwin arm64, Windows, and unknown-arch verdicts plus the
silent ensure_installed / check_command_security / _resolve_tirith_path
fast-paths and the explicit-path override.
test_tirith_security.py 75 passed (8 new + 67 pre-existing)
test_command_guards.py 19 passed
The #1 confusing cause of the xAI 403 (per Teknium): X Premium+
subscribers see Grok inside the X app and assume API access is
included. It is NOT — only standalone SuperGrok subscribers can use
xai-oauth with Hermes today. Without calling this out, every Premium+
user hits the 403 with no idea why.
PR #26666's neutral 4-cause list was correct but buried the most
common cause. Lead with the Premium+ gotcha, then list the other
possibilities (no subscription, wrong tier, exhausted quota) as
fallbacks. Same neutral framing — does not accuse anyone of being
unsubscribed.
PR #26644 confidently told users "xAI OAuth account lacks SuperGrok /
X Premium entitlement" on any 403 from xAI's permission-denied surface.
But that body is returned for at least four distinct causes that
Hermes cannot distinguish from the wire:
* Account has no Grok subscription at all
* Account has SuperGrok but the tier doesn't include the requested
model (e.g. grok-4.3 needs SuperGrok Heavy)
* Monthly quota for the subscribed tier is exhausted
* SuperGrok is active but the API access add-on isn't enabled
Don Piedro pushed back that he IS subscribed yet still hit this.
Picking the worst-case interpretation ("you're not subscribed")
reads as wrong and insulting to subscribers, and points them at a
fix they already did.
New wording lists all 4 possibilities and points at
https://grok.com/?_s=usage where the user can check which applies.
The detection logic and credential-pool short-circuit (PR #26664)
are unchanged — only the user-facing wording is rephrased.
Don Piedro's 18-minute hang on grok-4.3 traced to two issues PR #26644
didn't cover:
- _recover_with_credential_pool classifies 403 as FailoverReason.auth
and calls pool.try_refresh_current(). For xAI OAuth on an
unsubscribed account, refresh succeeds (mints a new token from the
same account) but the next API call 403s with the same entitlement
error. Result: infinite refresh → retry → 403 loop until Ctrl+C
(1133s in Don's log). New _is_entitlement_failure(error_context,
status_code) detects the subscription-shape body ("do not have an
active Grok subscription" / "out of available resources" + grok /
"does not have permission" + grok) and short-circuits recovery so
_summarize_api_error surfaces PR #26644's friendly hint.
- grok-4.3 resolved to 256k via the grok-4 catch-all in
DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS. Per docs.x.ai/developers/models/grok-4.3
the model ships with 1M context. Add explicit grok-4.3 entry
before the grok-4 fallback (longest-first substring matching
ensures grok-4.3 and grok-4.3-latest both land on the new value).
Tests: 8 new (23 total in test_codex_xai_oauth_recovery.py).
E2E verified Don's 100-iteration loop bails out with 0 refresh calls
while genuine auth failures still refresh once and recover.
The cherry-picked PR #15251 from @tw2818 correctly identified the
DeepSeek 400 root cause but placed the fix in the legacy fallback path
of `build_kwargs`, which DeepSeek never reaches — DeepSeek has a
registered ProviderProfile and goes through `_build_kwargs_from_profile`
instead. The legacy-path block was therefore dead code.
This commit pivots the fix to where it actually fires:
- New `DeepSeekProfile` in `plugins/model-providers/deepseek/__init__.py`
overrides `build_api_kwargs_extras` to emit DeepSeek's expected wire
format (mirrors `KimiProfile`):
{"reasoning_effort": "<low|medium|high|max>",
"extra_body": {"thinking": {"type": "enabled" | "disabled"}}}
- Model gating: only `deepseek-v4-*` and `deepseek-reasoner` emit
thinking control. `deepseek-chat` (V3) is untouched — current behavior.
- Effort mapping: low/medium/high passthrough, xhigh/max → max, unset →
omitted (DeepSeek server applies its own default).
- Revert the legacy-path additions from PR #15251 — they were dead code,
and the `_copy_reasoning_content_for_api` strip block specifically
would have nullified the existing reasoning_content padding machinery
(`_needs_deepseek_tool_reasoning` → space-pad on replay) that the
active provider already relies on for replay correctness.
- Unit tests pin the wire-shape contract and the model gating rules
(26 tests, all passing). Existing transport + provider profile suites
(321 tests) continue to pass.
- AUTHOR_MAP: map twebefy@gmail.com → tw2818 for release notes credit.

Three fixes for the May 2026 xAI OAuth (SuperGrok / X Premium) rollout
failures:
- _run_codex_stream: when openai SDK raises RuntimeError("Expected to
have received `response.created` before `<type>`"), retry once then
fall back to responses.create(stream=True) — same path used for
missing-response.completed postlude. Fallback surfaces the real
provider error with body+status_code intact. Also fixes#8133
(response.in_progress prelude on custom relays) and #14634
(codex.rate_limits prelude on codex-lb).
- _summarize_api_error: when error body matches xAI's entitlement
shape, append a one-line hint pointing to https://grok.com and
/model. Once-only, applies to both auxiliary warnings and
main-loop error surfacing.
- _chat_messages_to_responses_input: new is_xai_responses kwarg
drops replayed codex_reasoning_items (encrypted_content) before
they reach xAI. Also drops reasoning.encrypted_content from the
xAI include array. Native Codex behavior unchanged. Grok still
reasons natively each turn; coherence rides on visible message
text alone.
Closes#8133, #14634.
Two log-spam fixes surfaced by a Windows user (Git Bash + Python 3.11.9):
1. LocalEnvironment cwd warn spam
============================
Git Bash's `pwd -P` emits paths like `/c/Users/x`. The base-class
`_extract_cwd_from_output` was assigning this verbatim to `self.cwd`
without validation, then `_resolve_safe_cwd`'s `os.path.isdir(/c/...)`
returned False on Windows, triggering:
LocalEnvironment cwd '/c/Users/NVIDIA' is missing on disk;
falling back to '/' so terminal commands keep working.
...on every terminal call. The pre-existing Windows-path translation
inside `_run_bash` ran AFTER the safe-cwd check, so it could never
prevent the warning.
Fix:
- New `_msys_to_windows_path` helper (idempotent, no-op off Windows).
- `_resolve_safe_cwd` normalizes before `isdir`, so a valid MSYS path
is recognized as the real directory it points at.
- `LocalEnvironment._update_cwd` and a new override of
`_extract_cwd_from_output` translate + validate before mutating
`self.cwd`. Stale / non-existent marker paths roll back to the
previous cwd instead of clobbering it.
- The fallback warning still fires when the directory really is gone
(deletion-recovery scenario from #17558 still covered).
2. tirith spawn-failed warn spam
=============================
When tirith isn't installed (background install in flight, or marked
failed for the day) and the configured path stays as the bare string
`tirith`, every `subprocess.run([tirith_path, ...])` raises OSError
and logged:
tirith spawn failed: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
...on every command. fail_open=True means behaviour is correct, but
the log noise is severe.
Fix:
- `_warn_once(key, ...)` thread-safe dedupe helper.
- Three hot-path warnings (`tirith path resolved to None`,
`tirith spawn failed: ...`, `tirith timed out after Ns`) now log
once per (exception class, errno) / timeout-value / path-none key.
- Dedupe set is cleared on `_clear_install_failed` so a successful
install lets a subsequent failure surface again.
Tests
=====
- `tests/tools/test_local_env_windows_msys.py`: 12 tests covering the
MSYS→Windows translator, the resolve fast-path, update_cwd validation,
and extract_cwd_from_output rollback.
- `tests/tools/test_tirith_security.py`: 4 new dedupe tests (15 spawn
failures → 1 log line; distinct exc types → 2 lines; timeout dedupe;
path-None dedupe).
Targeted runs:
test_local_env_windows_msys.py 12 passed
test_local_env_cwd_recovery.py 7 passed (pre-existing, no regressions)
test_tirith_security.py 67 passed (63 pre-existing + 4 new)
test_base_environment + local_* 37 passed (no regressions)
test_local_env_blocklist + neighbours 114 passed
Reported via Hermes log capture: 19× cwd warnings + 15× tirith warnings
in a single short session.
- dep_ensure.py: use get_hermes_home() instead of hand-rolled env var
- dep_ensure.py: add "chrome" to browser name list (was inconsistent with browser_tool.py)
- main.py _cmd_update_check: use detect_install_method() directly instead of redundant .git check
- main.py _cmd_update_pip: build command list directly instead of fragile split() on display string
- banner.py: rename _check_via_pypi → check_via_pypi (cross-module public API)
One-shot bootstrap that installs non-Python deps (node, browser,
ripgrep, ffmpeg) via ensure_dependency(), then runs setup if no
provider is configured. Closes the gap between `pip install` and
the full user-facing experience.
Also fixes 3 pre-existing test regressions caused by earlier commits:
- test_recommended_update_command: mock detect_install_method for git env
- test_check_for_updates_no_git_dir: now falls back to PyPI, not None
- test_plist_path_includes_node_modules_bin: skip when dir absent
Adds detect_install_method() to identify nixos/homebrew/git/pip installs,
and recommended_update_command_for_method() to return the right upgrade command
for each method. Updates recommended_update_command() to use these for pip-installed
instances (no .git dir, not managed).
Add _find_bundled_tui() that checks for hermes_cli/tui_dist/entry.js
(present in wheel installs) and wire it into _make_tui_argv() between
the HERMES_TUI_DIR prebuilt path and the npm install fallback.
Extract PATH building into _build_service_path_dirs() that skips directories
which don't exist on disk (e.g. node_modules/.bin for pip installs) and also
includes ~/.hermes/node/bin and ~/.hermes/node_modules/.bin for agent-browser.
For pip-installed hermes-agent (no .git directory), fall back to
querying PyPI's JSON API to compare __version__ against the latest
published release, using stdlib only (urllib + json, no packaging dep).
Stop the gateway from exiting (or systemd-restart-looping) when a single
messaging adapter fails at startup or runtime. A misconfigured WhatsApp
(npm install timeout, unpaired bridge, missing creds.json) used to take
the entire gateway down, killing cron jobs and any other connected
platforms with it.
Changes:
• Startup (gateway/run.py): when connected_count==0 but the only
errors are retryable, log a degraded-state warning and keep the
gateway alive instead of returning False. Reconnect watcher then
recovers platforms as their underlying problem clears.
• Runtime (gateway/run.py _handle_adapter_fatal_error): when the last
adapter goes down with a retryable error and is queued for
reconnection, stay alive instead of exit-with-failure. Previously
this triggered systemd Restart=on-failure, which created infinite
restart loops on persistent retryable failures (proxy outage,
repeated bridge crashes).
• Reconnect watcher (gateway/run.py _platform_reconnect_watcher):
replace the 20-attempt hard drop with a circuit-breaker pause.
After _PAUSE_AFTER_FAILURES (10) consecutive retryable failures, the
platform stays in _failed_platforms with paused=True so the watcher
skips it but the operator can still see and resume it. Non-retryable
errors still drop out of the queue immediately. Resolves#17063
(gateway giving up on Telegram after 20 attempts).
• WhatsApp preflight (gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py): refuse to start
the Node bridge when creds.json is missing. Sets a non-retryable
whatsapp_not_paired fatal error so the watcher drops it cleanly
with a single 'run hermes whatsapp' log line instead of paying the
30s bridge bootstrap timeout on every gateway start.
• WhatsApp setup ordering (hermes_cli/main.py cmd_whatsapp): only set
WHATSAPP_ENABLED=true once pairing actually succeeds. Previously
the wizard wrote the env var at step 2 (before npm install and QR
pairing), so any Ctrl+C left .env claiming WhatsApp was ready when
the bridge had no creds.json. Also propagate the env var when the
user keeps an existing pairing on a re-run.
• /platform slash command (hermes_cli/commands.py + gateway/run.py):
new gateway-only command for manual circuit-breaker control.
/platform list — show connected + failed/paused platforms
/platform pause <name> — silence a known-broken platform
/platform resume <name> — re-queue a paused platform
Tests:
• New: pause/resume helpers, /platform list|pause|resume command,
WhatsApp creds.json preflight, WhatsApp setup ordering.
• Updated: stale assertions that codified the old 'exit and let
systemd restart' behavior in test_runner_fatal_adapter.py,
test_runner_startup_failures.py, and test_platform_reconnect.py
(the 20-attempt give-up test became a circuit-breaker pause test).
5488 tests pass in tests/gateway/.
Two loopback-redirect OAuth flows (xAI Grok, Spotify) silently fail when
Hermes runs on a remote host: the auth server redirects to
127.0.0.1:<port> on the user's laptop, not on the remote box. The
--no-browser flag only suppresses webbrowser.open() — it doesn't change
the bind address. Symptom xAI surfaces is 'Could not establish
connection. We couldn't reach your app.', followed by a 'xAI
authorization timed out waiting for the local callback' on the CLI side.
Changes
- hermes_cli/auth.py: new _print_loopback_ssh_hint() helper, called from
_xai_oauth_loopback_login() and _spotify_login() right after they
print the redirect URI. Silent off SSH; on SSH prints the exact
'ssh -N -L <port>:127.0.0.1:<port>' command using the actually-bound
port (not the hardcoded constant — the listener auto-bumps when the
preferred port is busy), a provider-specific docs URL, and a link to
the new shared guide.
- website/docs/guides/oauth-over-ssh.md (new): single source of truth
for the tunnel pattern — TL;DR command, jump-box / ProxyJump variant,
mosh+tmux+ControlMaster gotchas, troubleshooting.
- website/docs/guides/xai-grok-oauth.md: fix the two sections that
claimed --no-browser alone was enough; link to the shared guide.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/spotify.md: expand the existing
one-liner; link to the shared guide.
- website/sidebars.ts: register the new page.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_auth_loopback_ssh_hint.py: 7 unit tests
covering SSH-vs-not, loopback-vs-not, malformed URIs, port echo,
with and without provider docs URL.
Wraps every sync->async coroutine-scheduling site in the codebase with a
new agent.async_utils.safe_schedule_threadsafe() helper that closes the
coroutine on scheduling failure (closed loop, shutdown race, etc.)
instead of leaking it as 'coroutine was never awaited' RuntimeWarnings
plus reference leaks.
22 production call sites migrated across the codebase:
- acp_adapter/events.py, acp_adapter/permissions.py
- agent/lsp/manager.py
- cron/scheduler.py (media + text delivery paths)
- gateway/platforms/feishu.py (5 sites, via existing _submit_on_loop helper
which now delegates to safe_schedule_threadsafe)
- gateway/run.py (10 sites: telegram rename, agent:step hook, status
callback, interim+bg-review, clarify send, exec-approval button+text,
temp-bubble cleanup, channel-directory refresh)
- plugins/memory/hindsight, plugins/platforms/google_chat
- tools/browser_supervisor.py (3), browser_cdp_tool.py,
computer_use/cua_backend.py, slash_confirm.py
- tools/environments/modal.py (_AsyncWorker)
- tools/mcp_tool.py (2 + 8 _run_on_mcp_loop callers converted to
factory-style so the coroutine is never constructed on a dead loop)
- tui_gateway/ws.py
Tests: new tests/agent/test_async_utils.py covers helper behavior under
live loop, dead loop, None loop, and scheduling exceptions. Regression
tests added at three PR-original sites (acp events, acp permissions,
mcp loop runner) mirroring contributor's intent.
Live-tested end-to-end:
- Helper stress test: 1500 schedules across live/dead/race scenarios,
zero leaked coroutines
- Race exercised: 5000 schedules with loop killed mid-flight, 100 ok /
4900 None returns, zero leaks
- hermes chat -q with terminal tool call (exercises step_callback bridge)
- MCP probe against failing subprocess servers + factory path
- Real gateway daemon boot + SIGINT shutdown across multiple platform
adapter inits
- WSTransport 100 live + 50 dead-loop writes
- Cron delivery path live + dead loop
Salvages PR #2657 — adopts contributor's intent over a much wider site
list and a single centralized helper instead of inline try/except at
each site. 3 of the original PR's 6 sites no longer exist on main
(environments/patches.py deleted, DingTalk refactored to native async);
the equivalent fix lives in tools/environments/modal.py instead.

Build on @aydnOktay's cronjob fix by routing the cronjob check through
the shared 'env_var_enabled' helper in utils.py (same truthy set:
1/true/yes/on) and applying the same semantics to the 8 sibling call
sites that read HERMES_INTERACTIVE / HERMES_GATEWAY_SESSION /
HERMES_EXEC_ASK / HERMES_CRON_SESSION with bare os.getenv() truthy
checks:
- tools/approval.py: _is_gateway_approval_context (2), check_command_safety (2),
check_all_command_guards (3) -- 7 sites total
- tools/terminal_tool.py: _handle_sudo_failure, sudo password prompt -- 2 sites
- tools/skills_tool.py: _is_gateway_surface -- 1 site
Without this, a user who exports HERMES_INTERACTIVE=0 in their shell
still gets interactive sudo prompts, approval prompts, and gateway
skill-install paths -- only the cronjob tool was hardened. Now all
consumers agree on the same false-like values.
Also drops the duplicate _is_truthy_env helper from cronjob_tools.py
in favour of the existing canonical utils.env_var_enabled.
Tests: extend the parametrized regression coverage to all three
session env vars (HERMES_INTERACTIVE / HERMES_GATEWAY_SESSION /
HERMES_EXEC_ASK) symmetrically. tests/tools/test_cronjob_tools.py:
60/60 pass; tests/tools/{approval,terminal_tool,skills_tool,
cron_approval_mode,hardline_blocklist}.py: 378/378 pass.
Per @mark-xai's review on PR #26457 and the xAI model retirement on
2026-05-15: grok-code-fast-1 is being retired today and aliases redirect
to grok-4.3 (already pinned to the top of the xAI model list by this
PR). Update the two xAI Responses-API test fixtures Mark flagged plus
the picker fallback default in hermes_cli/main.py that uses the same
literal.
The xAI prompt_cache_key block carried two long comment paragraphs
that either restated setdefault semantics, narrated the SDK
type-validation mechanism, or recapped the historical motivation for
the extra_body indirection — all already covered by the test
docstring at test_xai_responses_sends_cache_key_via_extra_body
(which links to the xAI docs). Also restored the truncated link in
the body-injection comment.
No behavior change.
The new resolve_xai_http_credentials() resolver was using os.getenv()
for the XAI_API_KEY/XAI_BASE_URL fallback path, which dropped the
~/.hermes/.env contract guarded by PR #17140 / #17163. Users with
XAI_API_KEY in dotenv only would see "No xAI credentials found" even
though the key was configured.
Separately, _transcribe_xai started consulting creds["base_url"] (which
always returns at least the default https://api.x.ai/v1) ahead of the
public XAI_STT_BASE_URL env override, so the per-tool override stopped
working.
- tools/xai_http.py: add module-level get_env_value() wrapper that
reads ~/.hermes/.env first (via hermes_cli.config.get_env_value),
then os.environ. Resolver uses it for the API-key/base-url fallback.
- tools/transcription_tools.py: restore precedence so XAI_STT_BASE_URL
wins over creds["base_url"].
- tests/tools/test_transcription_dotenv_fallback.py +
tests/tools/test_tts_dotenv_fallback.py: repoint the per-call-site
patches at the new resolution point (tools.xai_http.get_env_value).
The end-to-end regression-guard test (which patches load_env) is
unchanged and still passes.
Two bugs in the `hermes tools` reconfigure flow caused picking xAI Grok
Imagine for video_gen (or image_gen) to feel like a no-op:
1. `_is_provider_active()` had a branch for `image_gen_plugin_name` but
none for `video_gen_plugin_name`, so a row marked as the active xAI
video provider was never recognized as active. The picker fell through
to the env-var fallback in `_detect_active_provider_index()`, which
matched the FAL row (because `FAL_KEY` is set), so the picker visually
defaulted to FAL even though the user had selected xAI.
2. `_plugin_video_gen_providers()` and `_plugin_image_gen_providers()`
built picker rows from the plugin's `get_setup_schema()` but only
copied `name`, `badge`, `tag`, `env_vars`. The xAI plugins declare
`post_setup: "xai_grok"` so the picker should run the OAuth /
API-key prompt hook after selection — that key was silently dropped,
so the hook never fired from the picker rows.
Adds the missing `video_gen_plugin_name` branch (placed before the
`managed_nous_feature` block, mirroring the existing image_gen branch)
and propagates `post_setup` from the plugin schema into both picker-row
builders. Adds focused tests in `test_video_gen_picker.py` and
`test_image_gen_picker.py`.
Adds a new authentication provider that lets SuperGrok subscribers sign
in to Hermes with their xAI account via the standard OAuth 2.0 PKCE
loopback flow, instead of pasting a raw API key from console.x.ai.
Highlights
----------
* OAuth 2.0 PKCE loopback login against accounts.x.ai with discovery,
state/nonce, and a strict CORS-origin allowlist on the callback.
* Authorize URL carries `plan=generic` (required for non-allowlisted
loopback clients) and `referrer=hermes-agent` for best-effort
attribution in xAI's OAuth server logs.
* Token storage in `auth.json` with file-locked atomic writes; JWT
`exp`-based expiry detection with skew; refresh-token rotation
synced both ways between the singleton store and the credential
pool so multi-process / multi-profile setups don't tear each other's
refresh tokens.
* Reactive 401 retry: on a 401 from the xAI Responses API, the agent
refreshes the token, swaps it back into `self.api_key`, and retries
the call once. Guarded against silent account swaps when the active
key was sourced from a different (manual) pool entry.
* Auxiliary tasks (curator, vision, embeddings, etc.) route through a
dedicated xAI Responses-mode auxiliary client instead of falling back
to OpenRouter billing.
* Direct HTTP tools (`tools/xai_http.py`, transcription, TTS, image-gen
plugin) resolve credentials through a unified runtime → singleton →
env-var fallback chain so xai-oauth users get them for free.
* `hermes auth add xai-oauth` and `hermes auth remove xai-oauth N` are
wired through the standard auth-commands surface; remove cleans up
the singleton loopback_pkce entry so it doesn't silently reinstate.
* `hermes model` provider picker shows
"xAI Grok OAuth (SuperGrok Subscription)" and the model-flow falls
back to pool credentials when the singleton is missing.
Hardening
---------
* Discovery and refresh responses validate the returned
`token_endpoint` host against the same `*.x.ai` allowlist as the
authorization endpoint, blocking MITM persistence of a hostile
endpoint.
* Discovery / refresh / token-exchange `response.json()` calls are
wrapped to raise typed `AuthError` on malformed bodies (captive
portals, proxy error pages) instead of leaking JSONDecodeError
tracebacks.
* `prompt_cache_key` is routed through `extra_body` on the codex
transport (sending it as a top-level kwarg trips xAI's SDK with a
TypeError).
* Credential-pool sync-back preserves `active_provider` so refreshing
an OAuth entry doesn't silently flip the active provider out from
under the running agent.
Testing
-------
* New `tests/hermes_cli/test_auth_xai_oauth_provider.py` (~63 tests)
covers JWT expiry, OAuth URL params (plan + referrer), CORS origins,
redirect URI validation, singleton↔pool sync, concurrency races,
refresh error paths, runtime resolution, and malformed-JSON guards.
* Extended `test_credential_pool.py`, `test_codex_transport.py`, and
`test_run_agent_codex_responses.py` cover the pool sync-back,
`extra_body` routing, and 401 reactive refresh paths.
* 165 tests passing on this branch via `scripts/run_tests.sh`.
* fix(langfuse): reject placeholder credentials with one-shot warning
When operators leave HERMES_LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY / HERMES_LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY
at a template value like 'placeholder', 'test-key', or 'your-langfuse-key',
the Langfuse SDK silently accepts the credentials at construction time and
drops every trace at flush time. No warning, no error — just an empty
Langfuse dashboard the operator only notices hours later.
Add prefix-based validation in _get_langfuse() against the documented
'pk-lf-' / 'sk-lf-' prefixes that Langfuse always issues server-side.
Anything else fires a single warning naming the offending env var(s)
with a log-safe value preview (full string for short placeholders so the
operator knows which template they left in place; truncated for long
values so a real secret pasted into the wrong field never hits the log),
then short-circuits via the existing _INIT_FAILED cache so the warning
fires once per process, not once per hook invocation.
The check sits after the 'Langfuse is None' SDK-installed guard so hosts
without the optional langfuse SDK don't see misleading 'set real keys'
hints when the actionable fix is 'pip install langfuse'. Missing
credentials remains the documented opt-out path and stays silent — no
log noise for unconfigured installs.
Fixes#22763Fixes#23823
* fix(langfuse): use actual API request messages for generation input
on_pre_llm_request previously used the messages kwarg alone, which
could be None when Hermes passes the payload via request_messages,
conversation_history, or user_message instead. Add _coerce_request_messages
to pick the first available list across all variants, falling back to a
synthetic user message. Generations now show the real outbound payload
rather than an empty input.
* fix(langfuse): record tool call outputs in traces
Tool observations showed input (arguments) but output was always
undefined. Root cause: when tool_call_id is empty, pre_tool_call stored
observations under a unique time-based key that post_tool_call could
never reconstruct, so every tool span was closed without output by the
_finish_trace sweep.
Fix pre/post matching by routing empty-tool_call_id tools through a
per-name FIFO queue (pending_tools_by_name) instead of the time-based
key. Tools with a tool_call_id continue to use the id-keyed dict.
Also:
- Preserve OpenAI-style nested function shape in serialized tool calls
so Langfuse renders name/arguments correctly
- Keep name + tool_call_id on role:tool messages for proper pairing
- Backfill tool results onto the matching turn_tool_calls entry so the
generation's tool-call record carries the result alongside arguments
- Coerce request messages from whichever field the runtime provides
(request_messages, messages, conversation_history, user_message)
* fix(langfuse): salvage-review polish — drop dead is_first_turn, shallow-copy request_messages, real threaded FIFO test
Self-review of the combined #22345 + #23831 salvage surfaced three issues
worth fixing in the same PR rather than as follow-ups:
1. Drop is_first_turn from the pre_api_request hook. The boolean expression
`not bool(conversation_history)` was wrong: conversation_history is
reassigned to None mid-run after compression (5 sites in run_agent.py),
so the value flips False -> True mid-conversation on every post-compression
API call. The langfuse plugin never consumed it, so the kwarg was both
misleading AND dead.
2. Replace copy.deepcopy(request_messages) with shallow list() copy. The
pre_api_request hook contract discards return values (invoke_hook never
writes back to api_kwargs), and the langfuse plugin's _serialize_messages
already builds its own snapshot dicts via _safe_value. A deepcopy on every
API call would walk every tool result and base64 image — significant
overhead for no real isolation benefit. Shallow copy of the outer list
protects against later mutations of api_messages without paying for the
inner-dict walk.
3. Rename test_empty_tool_call_id_concurrent_fifo_order ->
test_empty_tool_call_id_observations_are_fifo_within_tool_name and add a
real test_threaded_post_calls_preserve_fifo_under_lock that spawns 8
threads behind a barrier to actually exercise _STATE_LOCK on the
pending_tools_by_name queue. The original test was sequential and only
validated Python list semantics; this one validates the lock discipline.
4. Fix stale 'Cleared by reset_cache_for_tests()' comment on _INIT_FAILED —
that function does not exist. Tests reload the module via sys.modules.pop
+ importlib.import_module instead.
Tests: 37 langfuse plugin tests pass, 658 plugin tests overall pass.

Builds on @steezkelly's Bug A fix (#25857, top-level default_permissions
via _insert_managed_block_at_top_level) by addressing the other two
config-corruption bugs described in #26250:
Bug B (duplicate [plugins.X] tables)
- Codex itself writes [plugins."<name>@<marketplace>"] tables to
config.toml when the user runs `codex plugins enable` directly,
before hermes-agent's managed block exists. On the next migrate run,
_query_codex_plugins() re-discovers the same plugins via plugin/list
and render_codex_toml_section() re-emits them inside the managed
block. Codex's strict TOML parser then rejects the duplicate table
header on startup.
- Add _strip_unmanaged_plugin_tables() that drops [plugins.*] tables
from the user-content portion of the file. Only run it when
plugin/list succeeded — if the RPC failed we can't re-emit and
must preserve the user's tables. plugin/list is the source of
truth when it answers.
Bug C (HERMES_HOME pytest-tempdir leak into ~/.codex/config.toml)
- _build_hermes_tools_mcp_entry() read HERMES_HOME directly from
os.environ, so a sibling pytest's monkeypatch.setenv("HERMES_HOME",
tmp_path) silently burned a transient pytest tempdir into the
user's real ~/.codex/config.toml. After pytest reaped the tempdir,
every codex-routed hermes-tools tool call failed silently.
- Derive HERMES_HOME from get_hermes_home() (the canonical resolver
that goes through the profile-aware path) and refuse to emit
obvious test-tempdir paths via _looks_like_test_tempdir() as
belt-and-suspenders for any other callsite that forgets to patch
migrate().
- test_enable_succeeds_when_codex_present in test_codex_runtime_switch.py
invoked the real migrate() (no mock), writing to Path.home() / .codex
using whatever HERMES_HOME the running pytest session had set. Add
the same migrate patch the other apply() tests already use, so the
suite stops touching the user's real ~/.codex/config.toml.
E2E verification (replicating the issue's repro):
- Pre-state config.toml with user [mcp_servers.omx_team_run] +
codex-installed [plugins."tasks@openai-curated"],
HERMES_HOME="/private/var/folders/.../pytest-of-.../..."
- On origin/main: tomllib refuses to load the result with
"Cannot declare ('plugins', 'tasks@openai-curated') twice" AND
the pytest-tempdir HERMES_HOME is burned in.
- On this branch: file parses cleanly, default_permissions is
top-level, exactly one [plugins."tasks@openai-curated"] table
inside the managed block, no HERMES_HOME in the MCP env.
7 new regression tests covering all three bugs + the test-leak guard.
`bash scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_*.py` —
95 passed, 0 failed.
Closes#26250
Replace O(n²) string concatenation of truncated_response_prefix in the
length-continuation retry loop with a list + ''.join(). Functionally
equivalent: same partial response on early return, same prepend on
final assembly. The legacy retry path is capped at 3 iterations, so
the practical wall-clock win is small, but the new idiom matches the
rest of the codebase and removes a needless repeated allocation.
Salvaged from PR #2717 (the run_conversation portion only — trajectory
refactor dropped because it silently rewrote </tool_response> to </think>).

SimpleX Chat (https://simplex.chat) is a private, decentralised messenger
with no persistent user IDs — every contact is identified by an opaque
internal ID generated at connection time. This adds it as a Hermes
gateway platform via the plugin system.
The adapter connects to a local simplex-chat daemon via WebSocket,
listens for inbound messages, and sends replies. Originally proposed in
PR #2558 as a core-modifying integration; reshaped here as a self-
contained plugin under plugins/platforms/simplex/ with no edits to any
core file. Discovery is filesystem-based (scanned by gateway.config),
and the platform identity is resolved on demand via Platform("simplex").
Plugin contract:
- check_requirements() requires SIMPLEX_WS_URL AND the websockets package
- validate_config() / is_connected() accept env or config.yaml input
- _env_enablement() seeds PlatformConfig.extra (ws_url + home_channel)
- _standalone_send() supports out-of-process cron delivery
- interactive_setup() provides a stdin wizard for hermes gateway setup
- register() wires the adapter into the registry with required_env,
install_hint, cron_deliver_env_var, allowed_users_env, and a
platform_hint for the LLM.
Lazy dependency: the websockets Python package is imported inside the
functions that need it. The plugin is importable and discoverable even
when websockets is missing — check_requirements() simply returns False
until `pip install websockets` is run. No new pyproject extras are
introduced.
Environment variables:
SIMPLEX_WS_URL WebSocket URL of the daemon (required)
SIMPLEX_ALLOWED_USERS Comma-separated allowed contact IDs
SIMPLEX_ALLOW_ALL_USERS Set true to allow all contacts
SIMPLEX_HOME_CHANNEL Default contact for cron delivery
SIMPLEX_HOME_CHANNEL_NAME Human label for the home channel
Closes#2557.
The Zed ACP Registry path (uvx --from 'hermes-agent[acp]==X' hermes-acp)
gets a Python-only install. Browser tools depend on the agent-browser npm
package + Chromium, neither of which are in the wheel. Without an
explicit bootstrap, registry users have no path to working browser tools.
Ship a bundled, idempotent bootstrap script (Linux/macOS bash + Windows
PowerShell) inside acp_adapter/bootstrap/ as wheel package-data. New
entry points:
hermes acp --setup-browser # interactive; prompts before Chromium download
hermes acp --setup-browser --yes # non-interactive
hermes-acp --setup-browser
The terminal-auth flow (hermes acp --setup) also offers the browser
bootstrap as a follow-up after model selection, so first-run registry
users get the option without knowing the flag exists.
Key design choices:
- npm install -g --prefix $NODE_PREFIX so we never need sudo. System Node
on PATH is respected; only the install target is redirected to the
user-writable Hermes-managed Node prefix.
- tools/browser_tool.py::_browser_candidate_path_dirs() already walks
$HERMES_HOME/node/bin, so installed binaries are discovered with no
agent-side code change.
- System Chrome/Chromium detection short-circuits the ~400 MB Playwright
download when a suitable browser already exists.
- Bash + PowerShell live as ONE copy each under acp_adapter/bootstrap/.
Not duplicated under scripts/. install.sh and install.ps1 keep their
inline browser blocks for the source-checkout path.
E2E validated end-to-end:
bash bootstrap_browser_tools.sh --skip-chromium
→ installs agent-browser into ~/.hermes/node/bin/
tools.browser_tool._find_agent_browser()
→ returns the installed path
check_browser_requirements()
→ returns True (browser tools register)
Tests:
- tests/acp/test_entry.py: 11 tests covering --setup-browser dispatch
(linux + windows + --yes forwarding + failure propagation), the
terminal-auth follow-up prompt path, and a package-data wheel-shipping
assertion that catches any future pyproject.toml regression.
Docs: website/docs/user-guide/features/acp.md gains a 'Browser tools
(optional)' subsection with the two-line install + what-it-does.
Cron mutation operations (run/pause/resume/remove) and 'hermes cron edit'
now accept a job name in addition to the hex ID, with case-insensitive
matching. Before this, 'hermes cron run my_job_name' died with
'Job with ID my_job_name not found' and forced the user to look up the
hex ID first.
The original PR matched by name but silently picked the first match when
two jobs shared a name. This version refuses to act on an ambiguous name
and surfaces every matching job (id, name, schedule, next_run_at) so the
caller can pick a specific ID.
- cron/jobs.py:
- get_job() stays ID-only (preserves existing call-site semantics for
web_server/api_server/curator/scheduler/test code that always passes
real IDs).
- resolve_job_ref() is the new name-or-ID resolver, used by pause/
resume/trigger/remove_job. Exact ID match wins over a name match
even if a different job's name happens to equal that ID. Ambiguous
name match raises AmbiguousJobReference with all candidate IDs.
- tools/cronjob_tools.py: dispatch site uses resolve_job_ref, surfaces
ambiguous matches as a structured error with the matching IDs.
- hermes_cli/cron.py: 'cron edit' uses resolve_job_ref so editing by
name works and ambiguous names are reported with IDs.
- tests/cron/test_jobs.py: new TestResolveJobRef covering ID match,
case-insensitive name match, ID-wins-over-name, ambiguous refusal,
and that pause/resume/trigger/remove all refuse on ambiguity.
Closes#2627
When the in-tree FAL path has no API key (and no managed gateway), the
handler used to return a bare 'FAL_KEY environment variable not set'
error. Users had no idea where to get a key, that a managed Nous
gateway exists, or that plugin-registered providers are an option.
Now `image_generate_tool` returns a structured multi-line message:
- signup link (https://fal.ai)
- managed-gateway status (if Nous tools are enabled)
- pointer to `hermes tools` / `hermes plugins list` for alternate
backends, so users on a stale `image_gen.provider` know where to look
The schema is untouched — `check_fn` still gates the tool out of the
schema when no backend is reachable at startup, consistent with every
other conditional tool. This patch fixes the call-time failure modes:
managed-gateway 5xx, plugin provider disappearing mid-session, etc.
Inspired by #2546 / @Mibayy. The PR was ~5700 commits stale against
the new plugin-aware image_gen architecture, so this is a forward port
of the actionable-error idea rather than a cherry-pick.
Closes#2543

ResponseStore.put() and .delete() now remove conversations rows that
reference evicted or deleted response IDs, preventing 404 errors when
a conversation name is reused after its backing response was purged.

was_auto_reset, auto_reset_reason, and reset_had_activity were not
included in SessionEntry.to_dict() / from_dict(), so a gateway restart
between session expiry and the user's next message would silently drop
the auto-reset notification and context note.
Add the three fields to the serialization roundtrip with safe defaults
(False / None / False) so existing sessions.json files load cleanly.
Add three roundtrip tests to test_session_reset_notify.py.
#25975 (salvaging #24403) clamped decorative scrollback Panels and
streaming box rules to `max(32, min(width, 56))` as a defense against
terminal-emulator reflow when columns shrink. On any modern wide
terminal this made the response/reasoning borders look stubby — 56
cols inside a 200-col viewport.
#26137 (salvaging #25981, by @OutThisLife) landed a more fundamental
fix: prompt_toolkit's `_output_screen_diff` is monkey-patched so its
reserve-vertical-space cursor move no longer pushes chrome into
scrollback at all. With that in place, the clamp is no longer
load-bearing for the chrome-into-scrollback class of bugs — the
remaining risk is purely cosmetic reflow of *already stamped*
Panel borders during an aggressive column shrink, which we now
accept as a tradeoff for restoring proper full-width rendering.
Changes:
- `_scrollback_box_width()` returns `max(32, width)` (just the floor,
no upper cap). All 10 call sites stay valid.
- Updated `test_scrollback_box_width_caps_to_resize_safe_value` to
the new `test_scrollback_box_width_returns_viewport_width` asserting
full-width passthrough above the 32-col floor.
Floor of 32 is kept so `'─' * (w - 2)` math stays positive on tiny
terminals.
Refs #18449#19280#22976 (the original reflow class) and #25975
(the clamp this reverts).
Adds 16 unit tests covering the light/dark terminal detection path

- SkinConfig.get_color() does remap in light mode and passes through

We don't try to fake an OSC 11 reply — that path is exercised
end-to-end in real Terminal.app; the env-override path covers the
algorithmic logic.
The ACP Registry schema supports uvx as a first-class distribution method
alongside npx and binary. Pointing the registry directly at the existing
hermes-agent PyPI release removes:
- the @nousresearch npm scope (we don't own it)
- a separate npm publish step on every weekly release
- 90 lines of Node launcher + tests in packages/hermes-agent-acp/
The Zed registry now installs Hermes via:
uvx --from 'hermes-agent[acp]==<version>' hermes-acp
This is the same command the npm launcher was shelling out to anyway, so
end-user behavior is unchanged. Registry CI validates the PyPI URL +
version-pin exact match automatically.
Changes:
- acp_registry/agent.json: distribution.npx -> distribution.uvx
- delete packages/hermes-agent-acp/ entirely
- scripts/release.py: drop npm-launcher bump paths, keep manifest lockstep
- tests/acp/test_registry_manifest.py: assert uvx shape + version pin
- tests/scripts/test_release_acp_registry.py: rewrite for uvx-only shape
- docs (user-guide + dev-guide): drop all npm-launcher references
- delete docs/plans/acp-registry-zed-integration.md (stale, npm-shaped)
Validated against agentclientprotocol/registry agent.schema.json via
jsonschema. hermes-agent==0.13.0 is already live on PyPI.
The ACP Registry manifest (acp_registry/agent.json), the npm launcher
package.json, and the launcher's HERMES_AGENT_VERSION constant must all
match pyproject.toml exactly — tests/acp/test_registry_manifest.py
enforces this lockstep.
Without a release-script hook, the next weekly version bump fails that
test until someone hand-edits four files. Extend update_version_files()
to drive the ACP bump alongside __init__.py and pyproject.toml, and
add tests covering the lockstep and the missing-files no-op path.

The 'sessions' command has been registered in the central command
registry since #20805 (May 2025) and surfaces in /help and tab-completion,
but the classic CLI's process_command() never had an elif branch for it.
The canonical name fell through and printed 'Unknown command: sessions'.
The TUI side was wired up correctly via the SessionPicker overlay; only
the legacy CLI was missing the dispatch.
Adds _handle_sessions_command() which mirrors /resume's no-arg behavior
inline (the CLI has no overlay primitive equivalent to the TUI picker):
- /sessions and /sessions list → print the recent-sessions table
- /sessions <id_or_title> → delegates to _handle_resume_command
Includes regression tests covering the dispatcher wiring (the original
bug) plus the three handler branches.
Pre-existing diagnostics below an edit point used to surface as 'LSP
diagnostics introduced by this edit' whenever the edit deleted or
inserted lines. The delta-filter key included the diagnostic's
range, so the same logical error reported at a different line in
the post-edit snapshot looked like a brand new diagnostic.
Concrete case: deleting 14 lines in cli.py caused Pyright errors at
lines 9873, 10590, 12413, 13004 (unrelated to the edit) to be
reported as introduced by it.
Fix: build a piecewise-linear line-shift map (via difflib's
SequenceMatcher) from pre and post content, and remap baseline
diagnostics into post-edit coordinates before the set-difference.
Diagnostics in deleted regions drop out cleanly; diagnostics below
the edit shift by the right amount; diagnostics above are untouched.
The strict (range-aware) equality key stays — so a genuinely new
instance of an identical error class at a different line still
surfaces as new.
Pieces:
- agent/lsp/range_shift.py — build_line_shift, shift_diagnostic_range,
shift_baseline. Pure functions, no LSP state.
- agent/lsp/manager.py — LSPService.get_diagnostics_sync gains an
optional line_shift kwarg; baseline is shift_baseline'd before
computing the seen-set. _diag_key keeps the strict range key.
- tools/file_operations.py — write_file captures pre_content for any
LSP-handled extension (not just LINTERS_INPROC) and passes pre/post
to _maybe_lsp_diagnostics, which builds the shift map.
- New _lsp_handles_extension helper guards the pre_content read.
Trade-offs preserved:
- Genuinely new same-class errors at different lines still surface
(content-only key would have swallowed them).
- Pre-existing errors at unshifted positions still get filtered
(covered by the strict-key path with no shift).
- Best-effort: when pre_content can't be captured (file didn't
exist, permissions), the unshifted comparison still catches
most pre-existing errors; the edge case it misses is a new file
with a non-empty baseline, which is structurally impossible.
Follow-up to snav's PR #25463 contribution: flip default to on, broaden
scope so backfill fires whenever require_mention gates the bot (not just
shared-session channels).
Why:
- The mention-gate creates a session-transcript gap regardless of whether
the channel is shared or per-user. In per-user sessions, Alice's session
is still missing other participants' messages and her own pre-mention
messages — backfill fills both gaps.
- Threads naturally scope to thread-only history because discord.py's
channel.history() on a thread returns only that thread's messages.
- DMs still skip — every DM triggers the bot, so the session transcript
is already complete.
Changes:
- hermes_cli/config.py: discord.history_backfill default → true
- gateway/platforms/discord.py: drop the _is_shared gate, keep _is_dm
skip and _needed_mention gate; env var DISCORD_HISTORY_BACKFILL
default → 'true'
- cli-config.yaml.example + website docs: update defaults and prose;
add the DISCORD_HISTORY_BACKFILL / _LIMIT env var rows that were
documented in the PR description but missing from the env-var table
- tests/gateway/test_discord_free_response.py:
- flip test_discord_per_user_channel_does_not_backfill →
test_discord_per_user_channel_backfills_too (new behavior)
- add test_discord_dm_does_not_backfill (DM skip is invariant)
- give FakeThread a no-op history() so existing thread tests don't hit
a fake discord.Forbidden when backfill now fires on threads too
Tests: 160/160 in target files; 400/400 across all tests/gateway/ -k discord.
Adds optional channel-context backfill for Discord shared-channel sessions
so the agent can see recent messages it missed between its own turns
(typically when require_mention=true filters out most traffic).
Previously the agent only saw the @mention message that triggered it, which
led to disorienting replies in active multi-user channels where the
conversation context was invisible. With backfill enabled, a configurable
number of recent messages are fetched per-turn and prepended to the trigger
message as a context block, kept separate from sender-prefix logic so
attribution remains clean.
This re-opens the work from #13063 (approved by @OutThisLife on 2026-04-20,
closed when I closed the branch to address the simpolism:main head-branch
issue plus an ordering bug I caught later in live use). Filing against the
freshly-rewritten problem statement in #13054 so the design is grounded in
the failure mode rather than the implementation shape.
The implementation follows the **push-mode last-self-anchored** design from
the two options laid out in #13054. See the issue for the trade-off
discussion vs pull-mode (#13120 was an earlier closed PR using that shape).
Treating this as a reference implementation — happy to rewrite as
last-trigger anchoring or as a hybrid with #13120 if maintainers prefer.
Changes:
- gateway/platforms/discord.py:
- new `_discord_history_backfill()` / `_discord_history_backfill_limit()`
helpers (config.extra > env > default), mirroring the existing
`_discord_require_mention()` shape
- new `_fetch_channel_context()` that scans `channel.history()` backwards
from the trigger to the bot's last message (or limit), formats as
`[Recent channel messages] / [name] msg / ...`, respects DISCORD_ALLOW_BOTS,
skips system messages
- per-channel `_last_self_message_id` cache to narrow the fetch window
on hot paths (avoids full history scan when the bot has spoken recently)
- **IMPORTANT**: passes `oldest_first=False` explicitly to `channel.history()`.
discord.py 2.x silently flips the default to True when `after=` is supplied,
which would select the EARLIEST N messages after our last response instead
of the LATEST N before the trigger. In high-traffic windows this would
return stale tool traces and drop the actual final answer the user is
asking about. See regression test below. Caught in live use during a
Codex tool-trace burst on May 13 2026.
- gateway/config.py: discord_history_backfill + discord_history_backfill_limit
settings + yaml→env bridge
- gateway/platforms/base.py: channel_context field on MessageEvent
- gateway/run.py: prepend channel_context after sender-prefix so the
[sender name] tag applies to the trigger message alone, not to the backfill
- hermes_cli/config.py: defaults for new discord.history_backfill and
discord.history_backfill_limit keys
- cli-config.yaml.example: documented defaults
- tests/gateway/test_discord_free_response.py: 7 new tests covering
cold-start backfill, self-message stop boundary, other-bot filtering,
cache hot-path narrowing, stale-cache fallback, shared-channel +
per-user backfill paths, and the ordering regression test
(`test_fetch_channel_context_cache_uses_latest_window_when_after_set`)
- tests/gateway/test_config.py: yaml→env bridge tests
- tests/gateway/test_session.py: prefix-order edge cases
- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/discord.md: env vars + config keys +
usage docs
Tested on Ubuntu 24.04 — empirically validated in my own multi-bot Discord
research server for the past three weeks.
Fixes#13054
Supersedes #13063 (closed)
Adds 'hermes proxy start' — a local HTTP server that lets external apps
(OpenViking, Karakeep, Open WebUI, ...) use a Hermes-managed provider
subscription as their LLM endpoint. The proxy attaches the user's real
OAuth-resolved credentials to each forwarded request, refreshing them
automatically; the client can send any bearer (it gets stripped).
Ships with one adapter — Nous Portal. The UpstreamAdapter ABC and
registry in hermes_cli/proxy/adapters/ are designed for additional
OAuth providers to plug in by name without server changes.
Commands:
hermes proxy start [--provider nous] [--host 127.0.0.1] [--port 8645]
hermes proxy status
hermes proxy providers
Allowed Portal paths: /v1/chat/completions, /v1/completions,
/v1/embeddings, /v1/models. Anything else returns 404 with a clear
error pointing at the allowed list.
aiohttp is gated like gateway/platforms/api_server.py (try-import,
clean runtime error if missing). No new core dependency.
Tests: 24 unit tests + 1 separate E2E that spawns the real subprocess
and verifies the upstream receives the right bearer with the client's
header stripped.
When the terminal shrinks, already-printed box-drawing rules (response,
reasoning, streaming TTS, background-task Panels) reflow into multiple
narrower rows — visible as duplicated horizontal separators / ghost
lines in scrollback. Similarly, prompt_toolkit redraws a fresh status
bar on SIGWINCH on top of one the terminal just reflowed, producing
double-bar artifacts on column shrink.
Two surgical changes:
1. Decorative scrollback boxes now use a new
`HermesCLI._scrollback_box_width()` helper that clamps to
`max(32, min(width, 56))`. The live TUI footer is unaffected and still
uses the full width. Covers: streaming response box (open + close),
reasoning box (open + close, both streaming and post-stream paths),
streaming-TTS box close, final-response Rich Panel, and the
background-task Rich Panel.
2. `_recover_after_resize()` now also sets a new
`_status_bar_suppressed_after_resize` flag so the dynamic status bar
and both input separator rules stay hidden until the next user input.
The flag is cleared in the process loop the moment the user submits
their next prompt, restoring chrome cleanly.
Tests:
- New `test_input_rules_hide_after_resize_until_next_input` covers the
flag's effect on rule heights.
- New `test_scrollback_box_width_caps_to_resize_safe_value` covers the
helper at floor / cap / mid-range / overflow.
- Existing resize-recovery test extended to assert the flag flips.

When codex app-server fails outside the OAuth-classified path
(non-auth turn/start errors, plain TimeoutErrors, generic turn-ended
status, subprocess silently exits, hard deadline timeout), the user
got a bare 'Internal error' / 'turn/start failed: ...' with no
context. Diagnosing config/provider/auth-bridge issues forced a
re-run with verbose codex flags.
Add a _format_error_with_stderr helper that appends the last few
stderr lines via agent.redact.redact_sensitive_text(force=True),
and use it at every catch-all error site:
- ensure_started() failures (codex init / thread/start) now return
a TurnResult.error with should_retire=True instead of bubbling
- non-OAuth turn/start CodexAppServerError / TimeoutError
- subprocess-died branch (previously dumped raw stderr_blob[-300:]
with no redaction — a leak risk)
- turn ended with non-completed status
- hard turn-timeout deadline
OAuth-classified failures and the post-tool quiet watchdog already
produce clean hints and stay unchanged. The redactor catches sk-*,
gh*_*, Authorization: Bearer, query-string tokens, JWTs, private
keys, etc., so provider error payloads can't leak into chat output
or trajectories.
Inspired by openclaw#80718, adapted for our app-server transport.
When the stream consumer's got_done handler successfully delivers the
final response content via _send_or_edit but the subsequent edit
(e.g. cursor removal) fails, final_response_sent remains False even
though the user has already received the final answer. The gateway's
fallback send path then re-delivers the same content, causing the
user to see the response twice on Telegram.
Introduce a new _final_content_delivered flag on the stream consumer,
set by the got_done handler when the final content has reached the
user. The _run_agent suppression logic now treats this flag as an
additional signal (alongside final_response_sent and
response_previewed) that final delivery is already complete.
This preserves the existing behavior for intermediate-text-only
streams (where already_sent=True but no final content has been
delivered) — those still receive the gateway's fallback send, matching
the test expectation in test_partial_stream_output_does_not_set_already_sent.
Adds TestFinalContentDeliveredSuppression with two cases covering
both the suppression (content delivered + edit failed) and the
non-suppression (intermediate text only) branches.
`hermes config set gateway.streaming.*` writes the streaming block
nested under a `gateway:` key in config.yaml, but the config loader
only checked for a top-level `streaming:` key — silently ignoring
the nested variant.
Fall back to `yaml_cfg['gateway']['streaming']` when the top-level
key is absent, matching the pattern already used for other nested
config sections.
Closes#25676
WhatsApp pseudo-chats (Status updates / Stories, Channels / Newsletters,
broadcast lists) were being routed through the full agent pipeline. A
user's gateway.log showed the agent replying to a contact's Story
('status@broadcast') with 345 chars plus title-generation cost, which
also shows up in the contact's status feed.
Drop these JIDs at _should_process_message() before the policy gate so
they're filtered regardless of dm_policy or allowlist state. Covers:
- status@broadcast (Stories)
- *@newsletter (Channels)
- *@broadcast (broadcast lists, future-proofing)
The bridge.js already filters these on the fromMe outbound path, but
inbound events on self-chat mode skipped that check.
Tests:
- status@broadcast dropped on open policy
- broadcast filter wins over allowlisted senders
- real DMs still pass through
- helper unit cases (case-insensitive, whitespace-tolerant)
26/26 tests/gateway/test_whatsapp_group_gating.py pass; 59/59 adjacent
WhatsApp test suites pass.
The Debian/Ubuntu branch of install_node_deps() ran 'npx playwright install
--with-deps chromium' unconditionally. Playwright invokes sudo interactively
to apt-install Chromium's system libraries, which blocks the installer for
non-sudo users (systemd service accounts, unprivileged operator users) on
an unsatisfiable password prompt.
Changes:
- install.sh: gate --with-deps behind a sudo capability check on the apt
branch (matches the existing Arch/pacman branch pattern). Non-sudo users
fall back to 'npx playwright install chromium' alone and the installer
prints the exact 'sudo npx playwright install-deps chromium' command an
administrator can run separately.
- install.sh: add --skip-browser (alias --no-playwright) to skip the
Playwright step entirely for headless installs that don't need browser
automation. Mirrors the existing --no-venv / --skip-setup shape.
- installation.md: add a 'Non-Sudo / System Service User Installs' section
covering the admin/service-user split, the --skip-browser flag, and the
~/.local/bin PATH gotcha (the root cause of the 'No module named dotenv'
error users hit when running the repo source 'hermes' script with system
Python instead of the venv launcher).
- test_install_sh_browser_install.py: regression coverage for the
--skip-browser flag and the sudo-gate on the apt branch.
Reported by @ssilver in Discord.
_make_stream_chunk built delta_kwargs with only `role`, so a reasoning-only
chunk produced a SimpleNamespace without a `.content` attribute. Downstream
consumers that read `delta.content` then raised AttributeError on Gemini 2.5
Flash, where the thinking delta arrives before any content delta.
Seed `content`, `tool_calls`, `reasoning`, and `reasoning_content` as None
up front, matching the pattern already used in gemini_native_adapter.py.
Key-present arguments still override the defaults.
