Follow-up for cherry-picked PR #9746 — three pre-existing tests used
adapter._webhook_url (bare URL) in mock data, but _register_webhook
and _unregister_webhook now compare against _webhook_register_url
(password-bearing URL). Updated to match.
When BlueBubbles posts webhook events to the adapter, it uses the exact
URL registered via /api/v1/webhook — and BB's registration API does not
support custom headers. The adapter currently registers the bare URL
(no credentials), but then requires password auth on inbound POSTs,
rejecting every webhook with HTTP 401.
This is masked on fresh BB installs by a race condition: the webhook
might register once with a prior (possibly patched) URL and keep working
until the first restart. On v0.9.0, _unregister_webhook runs on clean
shutdown, so the next startup re-registers with the bare URL and the
401s begin. Users see the bot go silent with no obvious cause.
Root cause: there's no way to pass auth credentials from BB to the
webhook handler except via the URL itself. BB accepts query params and
preserves them on outbound POSTs.
## Fix
Introduce `_webhook_register_url` — the URL handed to BB's registration
API, with the configured password appended as a `?password=<value>`
query param. The existing webhook auth handler already accepts this
form (it reads `request.query.get("password")`), so no change to the
receive side is needed.
The bare `_webhook_url` is still used for logging and for binding the
local listener, so credentials don't leak into log output. Only the
registration/find/unregister paths use the password-bearing form.
## Notes
- Password is URL-encoded via urllib.parse.quote, handling special
characters (&, *, @, etc.) that would otherwise break parsing.
- Storing the password in BB's webhook table is not a new disclosure:
anyone with access to that table already has the BB admin password
(same credential used for every other API call).
- If `self.password` is empty (no auth configured), the register URL
is the bare URL — preserves current behavior for unauthenticated
local-only setups.

BlueBubbles v1.9+ webhook payloads for new-message events do not always
include a top-level chatGuid field on the message data object. Instead,
the chat GUID is nested under data.chats[0].guid.
The adapter currently checks five top-level fallback locations (record and
payload, snake_case and camelCase, plus payload.guid) but never looks
inside the chats array. When none of those top-level fields contain the
GUID, the adapter falls through to using the sender's phone/email as the
session chat ID.
This causes two observable bugs when a user is a participant in both a DM
and a group chat with the bot:
1. DM and group sessions merge. Every message from that user ends up with
the same session_chat_id (their own address), so the bot cannot
distinguish which thread the message came from.
2. Outbound routing becomes ambiguous. _resolve_chat_guid() iterates all
chats and returns the first one where the address appears as a
participant; group chats typically sort ahead of DMs by activity, so
replies and cron messages intended for the DM can land in a group.
This was observed in production: a user's morning brief cron delivered to
a group chat with his spouse instead of his DM thread.
The fix adds a single fallback that extracts chat_guid from
record["chats"][0]["guid"] when the top-level fields are empty. The chats
array is included in every new-message webhook payload in BB v1.9.9
(verified against a live server). It is backwards compatible: if a future
BB version starts including chatGuid at the top level, that still wins.

When GATEWAY_PROXY_URL (or gateway.proxy_url in config.yaml) is set,
the gateway becomes a thin relay: it handles platform I/O (encryption,
threading, media) and delegates all agent work to a remote Hermes API
server via POST /v1/chat/completions with SSE streaming.
This enables the primary use case of running a Matrix E2EE gateway in
Docker on Linux while the actual agent runs on the host (e.g. macOS)
with full access to local files, memory, skills, and a unified session
store. Works for any platform adapter, not just Matrix.
Configuration:
- GATEWAY_PROXY_URL env var (Docker-friendly)
- gateway.proxy_url in config.yaml
- GATEWAY_PROXY_KEY env var for API auth (matches API_SERVER_KEY)
- X-Hermes-Session-Id header for session continuity
Architecture:
- _get_proxy_url() checks env var first, then config.yaml
- _run_agent_via_proxy() handles HTTP forwarding with SSE streaming
- _run_agent() delegates to proxy path when URL is configured
- Platform streaming (GatewayStreamConsumer) works through proxy
- Returns compatible result dict for session store recording
Files changed:
- gateway/run.py: proxy mode implementation (~250 lines)
- hermes_cli/config.py: GATEWAY_PROXY_URL + GATEWAY_PROXY_KEY env vars
- tests/gateway/test_proxy_mode.py: 17 tests covering config
resolution, dispatch, HTTP forwarding, error handling, message
filtering, and result shape validation
Closes discussion from Cars29 re: Matrix gateway mixed-mode issue.
During rapid tool-calling, the model often emits 1-2 tokens before
switching to tool calls. The stream consumer would create a new message
with 'X ▉' (short text + cursor), and if the follow-up edit to strip
the cursor was rate-limited by the platform, the cursor remained as
a permanent standalone message — reported on Telegram as 'white box'
artifacts.
Add a minimum-content guard in _send_or_edit: when creating a new
standalone message (no existing message_id), require at least 4
visible characters alongside the cursor before sending. Shorter text
accumulates into the next streaming segment instead.
This prevents cursor-only 'tofu' messages across all platforms without
affecting normal streaming (edits to existing messages, final sends
without cursor, and messages with substantial text are all unaffected).

- Restore missing _setup_signal/email/sms/dingtalk/feishu/wecom/wecom_callback
functions that were lost during the original merge
Models like MiniMax emit inline <think>...</think> reasoning blocks in
their content field. The CLI already suppresses these via a state machine
in _stream_delta, but the gateway's GatewayStreamConsumer had no
equivalent filtering — raw think blocks were streamed directly to
Discord/Telegram/Slack.
The fix adds a _filter_and_accumulate() method that mirrors the CLI's
approach: a state machine tracks whether we're inside a reasoning block
and silently discards the content. Includes the same block-boundary
check (tag must appear at line start or after whitespace-only prefix)
to avoid false positives when models mention <think> in prose.
Handles all tag variants: <think>, <thinking>, <THINKING>, <thought>,
<reasoning>, <REASONING_SCRATCHPAD>.
Also handles edge cases:
- Tags split across streaming deltas (partial tag buffering)
- Unclosed blocks (content suppressed until stream ends)
- Multiple consecutive blocks
- _flush_think_buffer on stream end for held-back partial tags
Adds 22 unit tests + 1 integration test covering all scenarios.
When the 5-second stream_task timeout in gateway/run.py expires (due to
slow Telegram API calls from rate limiting after several messages), the
stream consumer is cancelled via asyncio.CancelledError. The
CancelledError handler did a best-effort final edit but never set
final_response_sent, so the gateway fell through to the normal send path
and delivered the full response again as a reply — causing a duplicate.
The fix: in the CancelledError handler, set final_response_sent = True
when already_sent is True (i.e., the stream consumer had already
delivered content to the user). This tells the gateway's already_sent
check that the response was delivered, preventing the duplicate send.
Adds two tests verifying the cancellation behavior:
- Cancelled with already_sent=True → final_response_sent=True (no dup)
- Cancelled with already_sent=False → final_response_sent=False (normal
send path proceeds)
Reported by community user hume on Discord.
/stop was calling suspend_session() which marked the session for auto-reset
on the next message. This meant users lost their conversation history every
time they stopped a running agent — especially painful for untitled sessions
that can't be resumed by name.
Now /stop just interrupts the agent and cleans the session lock. The session
stays intact so users can continue the conversation.
The suspend behavior was introduced in #7536 to break stuck session resume
loops on gateway restart. That case is already handled by
suspend_recently_active() which runs at gateway startup, so removing it from
/stop doesn't regress the original fix.
Updated the acquire_scoped_lock function to treat empty or corrupt lock files as stale. This change ensures that if a lock file exists but is invalid, it will be removed to prevent issues with stale locks. Added tests to verify recovery from both empty and corrupt lock files.
- Store source metadata on /voice channel join so voice input shares the
same session as the linked text channel conversation
- Treat voice-linked text channels as free-response (skip @mention and
auto-thread) while voice is active
- Scope the voice-linked exemption to the exact bound channel, not
sibling threads
- Guard signal handler registration in start_gateway() for non-main
threads (prevents RuntimeError when gateway runs in a daemon thread)
- Clean up _voice_sources on leave_voice_channel
Salvaged from PR #3475 by twilwa (Modal runtime portions excluded).
The detached bash subprocess spawned by /restart gets killed by
systemd's KillMode=mixed cgroup cleanup, leaving the gateway dead.
Under systemd (detected via INVOCATION_ID env var), /restart now uses
via_service=True which exits with code 75 — RestartForceExitStatus=75
in the unit file makes systemd auto-restart the service. The detached
subprocess approach is preserved as fallback for non-systemd
environments (Docker, tmux, foreground mode).
When a user sends /restart, the gateway now persists their routing info
(platform, chat_id, thread_id) to .restart_notify.json. After the new
gateway process starts and adapters connect, it reads the file, sends a
'Gateway restarted successfully' message to that specific chat, and
cleans up the file.
This follows the same pattern as _send_update_notification (used by
/update). Thread IDs are preserved so the notification lands in the
correct Telegram topic or Discord thread.
Previously, after /restart the user had no feedback that the gateway was
back — they had to send a message to find out. Now they get a proactive
notification and know their session continues.
When tool_preview_length is 0 (default for platforms without a tier
default, like Session), verbose mode was truncating args JSON to 200
characters. Since the user explicitly opted into verbose mode, they
expect full tool call detail — the 200-char cap defeated the purpose.
Now: tool_preview_length=0 means no truncation in verbose mode.
Positive values still cap as before. Platform message-length limits
handle overflow naturally.
Three changes that address the poor WhatsApp experience reported by users:
1. Reclassify WhatsApp from TIER_LOW to TIER_MEDIUM in display_config.py
— enables streaming and tool progress via the existing Baileys /edit
bridge endpoint. Users now see progressive responses instead of
minutes of silence followed by a wall of text.
2. Lower MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH from 65536 to 4096 and add proper chunking
— send() now calls format_message() and truncate_message() before
sending, then loops through chunks with a small delay between them.
The base class truncate_message() already handles code block boundary
detection (closes/reopens fences at chunk boundaries). reply_to is
only set on the first chunk.
3. Override format_message() with WhatsApp-specific markdown conversion
— converts **bold** to *bold*, ~~strike~~ to ~strike~, headers to
bold text, and [links](url) to text (url). Code blocks and inline
code are protected from conversion via placeholder substitution.
Together these fix the two user complaints:
- 'sends the whole code all the time' → now chunked at 4K with proper
formatting
- 'terminal gets interrupted and gets cooked' → streaming + tool progress
give visual feedback so users don't accidentally interrupt with
follow-up messages
Port from nearai/ironclaw#2304: Telegram's 4096 character limit is
measured in UTF-16 code units, not Unicode codepoints. Characters
outside the Basic Multilingual Plane (emoji like 😀, CJK Extension B,
musical symbols) are surrogate pairs: 1 Python char but 2 UTF-16 units.
Previously, truncate_message() used Python's len() which counts
codepoints. This could produce chunks exceeding Telegram's actual limit
when messages contain many astral-plane characters.
Changes:
- Add utf16_len() helper and _prefix_within_utf16_limit() for
UTF-16-aware string measurement and truncation
- Add _custom_unit_to_cp() binary-search helper that maps a custom-unit
budget to the largest safe codepoint slice position
- Update truncate_message() to accept optional len_fn parameter
- Telegram adapter now passes len_fn=utf16_len when splitting messages
- Fix fallback truncation in Telegram error handler to use
_prefix_within_utf16_limit instead of codepoint slicing
- Update send_message_tool.py to use utf16_len for Telegram platform
- Add comprehensive tests: utf16_len, _prefix_within_utf16_limit,
truncate_message with len_fn (emoji splitting, content preservation,
code block handling)
- Update mock lambdas in reply_mode tests to accept **kw for len_fn
Port from openclaw/openclaw#64586: users who copy .env.example without
changing placeholder values now get a clear error at startup instead of
a confusing auth failure from the platform API. Also rejects placeholder
API_SERVER_KEY when binding to a network-accessible address.
Cherry-picked from PR #8677.
Port from openclaw/openclaw#64796: Per MSC3952 / Matrix v1.7, the
m.mentions.user_ids field is the authoritative mention signal. Clients
that populate m.mentions but don't duplicate @bot in the body text
were being silently dropped when MATRIX_REQUIRE_MENTION=true.
Cherry-picked from PR #8673.
Some OpenAI-compatible clients (Open WebUI, LobeChat, etc.) send
message content as an array of typed parts instead of a plain string:
[{"type": "text", "text": "hello"}]
The agent pipeline expects strings, so these array payloads caused
silent failures or empty messages.
Add _normalize_chat_content() with defensive limits (recursion depth,
list size, output length) and apply it to both the Chat Completions
and Responses API endpoints. The Responses path had inline
normalization that only handled input_text/output_text — the shared
function also handles the standard 'text' type.
Salvaged from PR #7980 (ikelvingo) — only the content normalization;
the SSE and Weixin changes in that PR were regressions and are not
included.

Four fixes for the Weixin/WeChat adapter, synthesized from the best
aspects of community PRs #8407, #8521, #8360, #7695, #8308, #8525,
#7531, #8144, #8251.
1. Streaming cursor (▉) stuck permanently — WeChat doesn't support
message editing, so the cursor appended during streaming can never
be removed. Add SUPPORTS_MESSAGE_EDITING = False to WeixinAdapter
and check it in gateway/run.py to use an empty cursor for non-edit
platforms. (Fixes#8307, #8326)
2. Media upload failures — two bugs in _send_file():
a) upload_full_url path used PUT (404 on WeChat CDN); now uses POST.
b) aes_key was base64(raw_bytes) but the iLink API expects
base64(hex_string); images showed as grey boxes. (Fixes#8352, #7529)
Also: unified both upload paths into _upload_ciphertext(), preferring
upload_full_url. Added send_video/send_voice methods and voice_item
media builder for audio/.silk files. Added video_md5 field.
3. Markdown links stripped — WeChat can't render [text](url), so
format_message() now converts them to 'text (url)' plaintext.
Code blocks are preserved. (Fixes#7617)
4. Blank message prevention — three guards:
a) _split_text_for_weixin_delivery('') returns [] not ['']
b) send() filters empty/whitespace chunks before _send_text_chunk
c) _send_message() raises ValueError for empty text as safety net

- Remove duplicate _setup_feishu() definition (old 3-line version left
behind by cherry-pick — Python picked the new one but dead code
remained)
- Remove misleading 'Disable direct messages' DM option — the Feishu
adapter has no DM policy mechanism, so 'disable' produced identical
env vars to 'pairing'. Users who chose 'disable' would still see
pairing prompts. Reduced to 3 options: pairing, allow-all, allowlist.
- Fix test_probe_returns_bot_info_on_success and
test_probe_returns_none_on_failure: patch FEISHU_AVAILABLE=True so
probe_bot() takes the SDK path when lark_oapi is not installed
The _watch_update_progress() poll loop never deleted .update_prompt.json
after forwarding the prompt to the user, causing the same prompt to be
re-sent every poll cycle (2s). Two fixes:
1. Delete .update_prompt.json after forwarding — the update process only
polls for .update_response, it doesn't need the prompt file to persist.
2. Guard re-sends with _update_prompt_pending check — belt-and-suspenders
to prevent duplicates even under race conditions.
Add regression test asserting the prompt is sent exactly once.
When the gateway shuts down gracefully (hermes update, gateway restart,
/restart), it now writes a .clean_shutdown marker file. On the next
startup, if this marker exists, suspend_recently_active() is skipped
and the marker is cleaned up.
Previously, suspend_recently_active() fired on EVERY startup —
including planned restarts from hermes update or hermes gateway restart.
This caused users to lose their conversation history unexpectedly: the
session would be marked as suspended, and the next message would
trigger an auto-reset with a notification the user never asked for.
The original purpose of suspend_recently_active() is crash recovery —
preventing stuck sessions that were mid-processing when the gateway
died unexpectedly. Graceful shutdowns already drain active agents via
_drain_active_agents(), so there is no stuck-session risk. After a
crash (no marker written), suspension still fires as before.
Fixes the scenario where a user asks the agent to run hermes update,
the gateway restarts, and the user's next message gets an unwanted
'Session automatically reset' notification with their history cleared.
Add content-aware splitting to compact mode: short chat-like exchanges
(2-6 short lines without headings/lists/quotes) get separate message
bubbles for a natural chat feel, while structured content (tables,
headings with body, numbered lists) stays in a single message.
Cherry-picked from PR #7587 by bravohenry, adapted to the compact/legacy
split_per_line architecture from #7903.
When the agent calls process(action='wait') or process(action='poll')
and gets the exited status, the completion_queue notification is
redundant — the agent already has the output from the tool return.
Previously, the drain loops in CLI and gateway would still inject
the [SYSTEM: Background process completed] message, causing the
agent to receive the same information twice.
Fix: track session IDs in _completion_consumed set when wait/poll/log
returns an exited process. Drain loops in cli.py and gateway watcher
skip completion events for consumed sessions. Watch pattern events
are never suppressed (they have independent semantics).
Adds 4 tests covering wait/poll/log marking and running-process
negative case.
The gateway startup path references RedactingFormatter without
importing it, causing a NameError crash when launched with a
verbosity flag (e.g. via launchd --replace).

Adds an optional focus topic to /compress: `/compress database schema`
guides the summariser to preserve information related to the focus topic
(60-70% of summary budget) while compressing everything else more aggressively.
Inspired by Claude Code's /compact <focus>.
Changes:
- context_compressor.py: focus_topic parameter on _generate_summary() and
compress(); appends FOCUS TOPIC guidance block to the LLM prompt
- run_agent.py: focus_topic parameter on _compress_context(), passed through
to the compressor
- cli.py: _manual_compress() extracts focus topic from command string,
preserves existing manual_compression_feedback integration (no regression)
- gateway/run.py: _handle_compress_command() extracts focus from event args
and passes through — full gateway parity
- commands.py: args_hint="[focus topic]" on /compress CommandDef
Salvaged from PR #7459 (CLI /compress focus only — /context command deferred).
15 new tests across CLI, compressor, and gateway.
Fixes#7952 — Matrix E2EE completely broken after mautrix migration.
- Replace MemoryCryptoStore + pickle/HMAC persistence with mautrix's
PgCryptoStore backed by SQLite via aiosqlite. Crypto state now
persists reliably across restarts without fragile serialization.
- Add handle_sync() call on initial sync response so to-device events
(queued Megolm key shares) are dispatched to OlmMachine instead of
being silently dropped.
- Add _verify_device_keys_on_server() after loading crypto state.
Detects missing keys (re-uploads), stale keys from migration
(attempts re-upload), and corrupted state (refuses E2EE).
- Add _CryptoStateStore adapter wrapping MemoryStateStore to satisfy
mautrix crypto's StateStore interface (is_encrypted,
get_encryption_info, find_shared_rooms).
- Remove redundant share_keys() call from sync loop — OlmMachine
already handles this via DEVICE_OTK_COUNT event handler.
- Fix datetime vs float TypeError in session.py suspend_recently_active()
that crashed gateway startup.
- Add aiosqlite and asyncpg to [matrix] extra in pyproject.toml.
- Update test mocks for PgCryptoStore/Database and add query_keys mock
for key verification. 174 tests pass.
- Add E2EE upgrade/migration docs to Matrix user guide.
Add display.platforms section to config.yaml for per-platform overrides of
display settings (tool_progress, show_reasoning, streaming, tool_preview_length).
Each platform gets sensible built-in defaults based on capability tier:
- High (telegram, discord): tool_progress=all, streaming follows global
- Medium (slack, mattermost, matrix, feishu): tool_progress=new
- Low (signal, whatsapp, bluebubbles, wecom, etc.): tool_progress=off, streaming=false
- Minimal (email, sms, webhook, homeassistant): tool_progress=off, streaming=false
Example config:
display:
platforms:
telegram:
tool_progress: all
show_reasoning: true
slack:
tool_progress: off
Resolution order: platform override > global setting > built-in platform default.
Changes:
- New gateway/display_config.py: resolver module with tier-based platform defaults
- gateway/run.py: tool_progress, tool_preview_length, streaming, show_reasoning
all resolve per-platform via the new resolver
- /verbose command: now cycles tool_progress per-platform (saves to
display.platforms.<platform>.tool_progress instead of global)
- /reasoning show|hide: now saves show_reasoning per-platform
- Config version 15 -> 16: migrates tool_progress_overrides into display.platforms
- Backward compat: legacy tool_progress_overrides still read as fallback
- 27 new tests for resolver, normalization, migration, backward compat
- Updated verbose command tests for per-platform behavior
Addresses community request for per-channel verbosity control (Guillaume Meyer,
Nathan Danielsen) — high verbosity on backchannel Telegram, low on customer-facing
Slack, none on email.
Add display.interim_assistant_messages config (enabled by default) that
forwards completed assistant commentary between tool calls to the user
as separate chat messages. Models already emit useful status text like
'I'll inspect the repo first.' — this surfaces it on Telegram, Discord,
and other messaging platforms instead of swallowing it.
Independent from tool_progress and gateway streaming. Disabled for
webhooks. Uses GatewayStreamConsumer when available, falls back to
direct adapter send. Tracks response_previewed to prevent double-delivery
when interim message matches the final response.
Also fixes: cursor not stripped from fallback prefix in stream consumer
(affected continuation calculation on no-edit platforms like Signal).
Cherry-picked from PR #7885 by asheriif, default changed to enabled.
Fixes#5016
Complete the contextvars migration by adding HERMES_SESSION_KEY to the
unified _VAR_MAP in session_context.py. Without this, concurrent gateway
handlers race on os.environ["HERMES_SESSION_KEY"].
- Add _SESSION_KEY ContextVar to _VAR_MAP, set_session_vars(), clear_session_vars()
- Wire session_key through _set_session_env() from SessionContext
- Replace os.getenv fallback in tools/approval.py with get_session_env()
(function-level import to avoid cross-layer coupling)
- Keep os.environ set as CLI/cron fallback
Cherry-picked from PR #7878 by 0xbyt4.
Add a second WeCom integration mode for regular enterprise self-built
applications. Unlike the existing bot/websocket adapter (wecom.py),
this handles WeCom's standard callback flow: WeCom POSTs encrypted XML
to an HTTP endpoint, the adapter decrypts, queues for the agent, and
immediately acknowledges. The agent's reply is delivered proactively
via the message/send API.
Key design choice: always acknowledge immediately and use proactive
send — agent sessions take 3-30 minutes, so the 5-second inline reply
window is never useful. The original PR's Future/pending-reply
machinery was removed in favour of this simpler architecture.
Features:
- AES-CBC encrypt/decrypt (BizMsgCrypt-compatible)
- Multi-app routing scoped by corp_id:user_id
- Legacy bare user_id fallback for backward compat
- Access-token management with auto-refresh
- WECOM_CALLBACK_* env var overrides
- Port-in-use pre-check before binding
- Health endpoint at /health
Salvaged from PR #7774 by @chqchshj. Simplified by removing the
inline reply Future system and fixing: secrets.choice for nonce
generation, immediate plain-text acknowledgment (not encrypted XML
containing 'success'), and initial token refresh error handling.
The startup guard tests called connect() which bound a real aiohttp
server on port 8080 — flaky in any environment where the port is
in use. Mock AppRunner, TCPSite, and ClientSession instead.
When sending multi-chunk responses, individual chunks can fail due to
transient iLink API errors. Previously a single failure would abort the
entire message. Now each chunk is retried with linear backoff before
giving up, and the same client_id is reused across retries for
server-side deduplication.
Configurable via config.yaml (platforms.weixin.extra) or env vars:
- send_chunk_delay_seconds (default 0.35s) — pacing between chunks
- send_chunk_retries (default 2) — max retry attempts per chunk
- send_chunk_retry_delay_seconds (default 1.0s) — base retry delay
Replaces the hardcoded 0.3s inter-chunk delay from #7903.
Salvaged from PR #7899 by @corazzione. Fixes#7836.
Background process watchers (notify_on_complete, check_interval) created
synthetic SessionSource objects without user_id/user_name. While the
internal=True bypass (1d8d4f28) prevented false pairing for agent-
generated notifications, the missing identity caused:
- Garbage entries in pairing rate limiters (discord:None, telegram:None)
- 'User None' in approval messages and logs
- No user identity available for future code paths that need it
Additionally, platform messages arriving without from_user (Telegram
service messages, channel forwards, anonymous admin actions) could still
trigger false pairing because they are not internal events.
Fix:
1. Propagate user_id/user_name through the full watcher chain:
session_context.py → gateway/run.py → terminal_tool.py →
process_registry.py (including checkpoint persistence/recovery)
2. Add None user_id guard in _handle_message() — silently drop
non-internal messages with no user identity instead of triggering
the pairing flow.

The Weixin adapter was splitting responses at every top-level newline,
causing notification spam (up to 70 API calls for a single long markdown
response). This salvages the best aspects of six contributor PRs:
Compact mode (new default):
- Messages under the 4000-char limit stay as a single bubble even with
multiple lines, paragraphs, and code blocks
- Only oversized messages get split at logical markdown boundaries
- Inter-chunk delay (0.3s) between chunks prevents WeChat rate-limit drops
Legacy mode (opt-in):
- Set split_multiline_messages: true in platforms.weixin.extra config
- Or set WEIXIN_SPLIT_MULTILINE_MESSAGES=true env var
- Restores the old per-line splitting behavior

* fix(matrix): pass required args to MemoryCryptoStore for mautrix ≥0.21
MemoryCryptoStore.__init__() now requires account_id and pickle_key
positional arguments as of mautrix 0.21. The migration from matrix-nio
(commit 1850747) didn't account for this, causing E2EE initialization
to fail with:
MemoryCryptoStore.__init__() missing 2 required positional arguments:
'account_id' and 'pickle_key'
Pass self._user_id as account_id and derive pickle_key from the same
user_id:device_id pair already used for the on-disk HMAC signature.
Update the test stub to accept the new parameters.
Fixes#7803
* fix: use consistent fallback for pickle_key derivation
Address review: _pickle_key now uses _acct_id (which has the 'hermes'
fallback) instead of raw self._user_id, so both values stay consistent
when user_id is empty.

* fix: circuit breaker stops CPU-burning restart loops on persistent errors
When a gateway session hits a non-retryable error (e.g. invalid model
ID → HTTP 400), the agent fails and returns. But if the session keeps
receiving messages (or something periodically recreates agents), each
attempt spawns a new AIAgent — reinitializing MCP server connections,
burning CPU — only to hit the same 400 error again. On a 4-core server,
this pegs an entire core per stuck session and accumulates 300+ minutes
of CPU time over hours.
Fix: add a per-session consecutive failure counter in the gateway runner.
- Track consecutive non-retryable failures per session key
- After 3 consecutive failures (_MAX_CONSECUTIVE_FAILURES), block
further agent creation for that session and notify the user:
'⚠️ This session has failed N times in a row with a non-retryable
error. Use /reset to start a new session.'
- Evict the cached agent when the circuit breaker engages to prevent
stale state from accumulating
- Reset the counter on successful agent runs
- Clear the counter on /reset and /new so users can recover
- Uses getattr() pattern so bare GatewayRunner instances (common in
tests using object.__new__) don't crash
Tests:
- 8 new tests in test_circuit_breaker.py covering counter behavior,
threshold, reset, session isolation, and bare-runner safety
Addresses #7130.
* Revert "fix: circuit breaker stops CPU-burning restart loops on persistent errors"
This reverts commit d848ea7109d62a2fc4ba6da36fc4f0366b5ded94.
* fix: don't evict cached agent on failed runs — prevents MCP restart loop
When a run fails (e.g. invalid model ID → 400) and fallback activated,
the gateway was evicting the cached agent to 'retry primary next time.'
But evicting a failed agent forces a full AIAgent recreation on the next
message — reinitializing MCP server connections, spawning stdio
processes — only to hit the same 400 again. This created a CPU-burning
loop (91%+ for hours, #7130).
The fix: add `and not _run_failed` to the fallback-eviction check.
Failed runs keep the cached agent. The next message reuses it (no MCP
reinit), hits the same error, returns it to the user quickly. The user
can /reset or /model to fix their config.
Successful fallback runs still evict as before so the next message
retries the primary model.
Addresses #7130.
Follow-up fixes for the matrix-nio → mautrix migration:
1. Module-level mautrix.types import now wrapped in try/except with
proper stub classes. Without this, importing gateway.platforms.matrix
crashes the entire gateway when mautrix isn't installed — even for
users who don't use Matrix. The stubs mirror mautrix's real attribute
names so tests that exercise adapter methods (send, reactions, etc.)
work without the real SDK.
2. Removed _ensure_mautrix_mock() from test_matrix_mention.py — it
permanently installed MagicMock modules in sys.modules via setdefault(),
polluting later tests in the suite. No longer needed since the module
imports cleanly without mautrix.
3. Fixed thread persistence tests to use direct class reference in
monkeypatch.setattr() instead of string-based paths, which broke
when the module was reimported by other tests.
4. Moved the module-importability test to a subprocess to prevent it
from polluting sys.modules (reimporting creates a second module object
with different __dict__, breaking patch.object in subsequent tests).
Tool progress markers (e.g. `⏰ list`) were injected directly into
SSE delta.content chunks. OpenAI-compatible frontends (Open WebUI,
LobeChat, etc.) store delta.content verbatim as the assistant message
and send it back on subsequent requests. After enough turns, the model
learns to emit these markers as plain text instead of issuing real tool
calls — silently hallucinating tool results without ever running them.
Fix: Send tool progress as a custom `event: hermes.tool.progress` SSE
event instead of mixing it into delta.content. Per the SSE spec, clients
that don't understand a custom event type silently ignore it, so this is
backward-compatible. Frontends that want to render progress indicators
can listen for the custom event without persisting it to conversation
history.
The /v1/runs endpoint already uses structured events — this aligns the
/v1/chat/completions streaming path with the same principle.
Closes#6972
When two gateway messages arrived concurrently, _set_session_env wrote
HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM/CHAT_ID/CHAT_NAME/THREAD_ID into the process-global
os.environ. Because asyncio tasks share the same process, Message B would
overwrite Message A's values mid-flight, causing background-task notifications
and tool calls to route to the wrong thread/chat.
Replace os.environ with Python's contextvars.ContextVar. Each asyncio task
(and any run_in_executor thread it spawns) gets its own copy, so concurrent
messages never interfere.
Changes:
- New gateway/session_context.py with ContextVar definitions, set/clear/get
helpers, and os.environ fallback for CLI/cron/test backward compatibility
- gateway/run.py: _set_session_env returns reset tokens, _clear_session_env
accepts them for proper cleanup in finally blocks
- All tool consumers updated: cronjob_tools, send_message_tool, skills_tool,
terminal_tool (both notify_on_complete AND check_interval blocks), tts_tool,
agent/skill_utils, agent/prompt_builder
- Tests updated for new contextvar-based API

Telegram's Bot API only allows a specific set of emoji for bot reactions

Follow-up to Dusk1e's PR #7120 (Slack send_image redirect guard):
- Rename _safe_url_for_log -> safe_url_for_log (drop underscore) since
it is now imported cross-module by the Slack adapter
- Add _ssrf_redirect_guard httpx event hook to cache_image_from_url()
and cache_audio_from_url() in base.py — same pattern as vision_tools
and the Slack adapter fix
- Update url_safety.py docstring to reflect broader coverage
- Add regression tests for image/audio redirect blocking + safe passthrough
The API server's _run_agent() was not passing task_id to
run_conversation(), causing a fresh random UUID per request. This meant
every Open WebUI message spun up a new Docker container and tore it down
afterward — making persistent filesystem state impossible.
Two fixes:
1. Pass task_id="default" so all API server conversations share the same
Docker container (matching the design intent: one configured Docker
environment, always the same container).
2. Derive a stable session_id from the system prompt + first user message
hash instead of uuid4(). This stops hermes sessions list from being
polluted with single-message throwaway sessions.
Fixes#3438.
Slack may return an HTML sign-in/redirect page instead of actual media
bytes (e.g. expired token, restricted file access). This adds two layers
of defense:
1. Content-Type check in slack.py rejects text/html responses early
2. Magic-byte validation in base.py's cache_image_from_bytes() rejects
non-image data regardless of source platform
Also adds ValueError guards in wecom.py and email.py so the new
validation doesn't crash those adapters.
Closes#6829

_handle_message_with_agent to raise immediately; avoids the 300s
run_in_executor hang that caused the tests to time out
Platforms that don't return a message_id after the first send (Signal,
GitHub webhooks) were causing GatewayStreamConsumer to re-enter the
"first send" path on every tool boundary, posting one platform message
per tool call (observed as 155 PR comments on a single response).
Fix: treat _message_id == "__no_edit__" as a sentinel meaning "platform
accepted the send but cannot be edited". When a tool boundary arrives
in that state, skip the message_id/accumulated/last_sent_text reset so
all continuation text is delivered once via _send_fallback_final rather
than re-posted per segment.
Also make prompt_toolkit imports in hermes_cli/commands.py optional so
gateway and test environments that lack the package can still import
resolve_command, gateway_help_lines, and COMMAND_REGISTRY.
Adds a regression test verifying that /background bypasses the
active-session guard in the platform adapter, matching the existing
test pattern for /stop, /new, /approve, /deny, and /status.

Legacy flat stt.model config key (from cli-config.yaml.example and older
versions) was passed as a model override to transcribe_audio() by the
gateway, bypassing provider-specific model resolution. When the provider
was 'local' (faster-whisper), this caused:
ValueError: Invalid model size 'whisper-1'
Changes:
- gateway/run.py, discord.py: stop passing model override — let
transcribe_audio() handle provider-specific model resolution internally
- get_stt_model_from_config(): now provider-aware, reads from the correct
nested section (stt.local.model, stt.openai.model, etc.); ignores
legacy flat key for local provider to prevent model name mismatch
- cli-config.yaml.example: updated STT section to show nested provider
config structure instead of legacy flat key
- config migration v13→v14: moves legacy stt.model to the correct
provider section and removes the flat key

- Accept 200-299 status range (not just 200) for webhook creation

- Add 17 tests covering register/unregister/find/edge cases
- Add custom_provider_slug() to hermes_cli/providers.py as the single
source of truth for building 'custom:<name>' slugs.
- Use it in resolve_custom_provider() and list_authenticated_providers()
instead of duplicated inline slug construction.
- Add _session_model_overrides and _voice_mode to gateway test runner
for object.__new__() safety.
Custom providers defined in config.yaml under were
completely invisible to the /model command in both gateway (Telegram,
Discord, etc.) and CLI. The provider listing skipped them and explicit
switching via --provider failed with "Unknown provider".
Root cause: gateway/run.py, cli.py, and model_switch.py only read the
dict from config, ignoring entirely.
Changes:
- providers.py: add resolve_custom_provider() and extend
resolve_provider_full() to check custom_providers after user_providers
- model_switch.py: propagate custom_providers through switch_model(),
list_authenticated_providers(), and get_authenticated_provider_slugs();
add custom provider section to provider listings
- gateway/run.py: read custom_providers from config, pass to all
model-switch calls
- cli.py: hoist config loading, pass custom_providers to listing and
switch calls
Tests: 4 new regression tests covering listing, resolution, and gateway
command handler. All 71 tests pass.
The session store was copying the ENTIRE parent DM transcript into new
thread sessions. This caused unrelated conversations to bleed across
threads in Slack DMs.
The Slack adapter already handles thread context correctly via
_fetch_thread_context() (conversations.replies API), which fetches
only the actual thread messages. The session-level seeding was both
redundant and harmful.
No other platform (Telegram, Discord) uses DM threads, so the seeding
code path was only triggered by Slack — where it conflicted with the
adapter-level context.
Tests updated to assert thread isolation: all thread sessions start
empty, platform adapters are responsible for injecting thread context.
Salvage of PR #5868 (jarvisxyz). Reported by norbert on Discord.
The gateway /model command stored session overrides in
_session_model_overrides but run_sync() never consulted them when
resolving the model and runtime for the next message. It always read
from config.yaml, so the switch was lost as soon as a new agent was
created.
Two fixes:
1. In run_sync(), apply _session_model_overrides after resolving from
config.yaml/env — the override takes precedence for model, provider,
api_key, base_url, and api_mode.
2. In post-run fallback detection, check whether the model mismatch
(agent.model != config_model) is due to an intentional /model switch
before evicting the cached agent. Without this, the first message
after /model would work (cached agent reused) but the fallback
detector would evict it, causing the next message to revert.
Affects all gateway platforms (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp,
Signal, Matrix, BlueBubbles, HomeAssistant) since they all share
GatewayRunner._run_agent().
Fixes#6213
The gateway /usage handler only looked in _running_agents for the agent
object, which is only populated while the agent is actively processing a
message. Between turns (when users actually type /usage), the dict is
empty and the handler fell through to a rough message-count estimate.
The agent object actually lives in _agent_cache between turns (kept for
prompt caching). This fix checks both dicts, with _running_agents taking
priority (mid-turn) and _agent_cache as the between-turns fallback.
Also brings the gateway output to parity with the CLI /usage:
- Model name
- Detailed token breakdown (input, output, cache read, cache write)
- Cost estimation (estimated amount or 'included' for subscriptions)
- Cache token lines hidden when zero (cleaner output)
This fixes Nous Portal rate limit headers not showing up for gateway
users — the data was being captured correctly but the handler could
never see it.
Set _text_batch_delay_seconds = 0 on test adapter fixtures so messages
dispatch immediately (bypassing async batching). This preserves the
existing synchronous assertion patterns while the batching logic is
tested separately in test_text_batching.py.

- Single message dispatch after delay
- Split message aggregation (2-way and 3-way)
- Different chats/rooms not merged
- Adaptive delay for near-limit chunks
- State cleanup after flush
- Split continuation merging

* feat: API server model name derived from profile name
For multi-user setups (e.g. OpenWebUI), each profile's API server now
advertises a distinct model name on /v1/models:
- Profile 'lucas' -> model ID 'lucas'
- Profile 'admin' -> model ID 'admin'
- Default profile -> 'hermes-agent' (unchanged)
Explicit override via API_SERVER_MODEL_NAME env var or
platforms.api_server.model_name config for custom names.
Resolves friction where OpenWebUI couldn't distinguish multiple
hermes-agent connections all advertising the same model name.

* fix(tests): mock is_safe_url in tests that use example.com
Tests using example.com URLs were failing because is_safe_url does a real DNS lookup which fails in environments where example.com doesn't resolve, causing the request to be blocked before reaching the already-mocked HTTP client. This should fix around 17 failing tests.
These tests test logic, caching, etc. so mocking this method should not modify them in any way. TestMattermostSendUrlAsFile was already doing this so we follow the same pattern.
* fix(test): use case-insensitive lookup for model context length check
DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS uses inconsistent casing (MiniMax keys are lowercase, Qwen keys are mixed-case) so the test was broken in some cases since it couldn't find the model.
* fix(test): patch is_linux in systemd gateway restart test
The test only patched is_macos to False but didn't patch is_linux to True. On macOS hosts, is_linux() returns False and the systemd restart code path is skipped entirely, making the assertion fail.
* fix(test): use non-blocklisted env var in docker forward_env tests
GITHUB_TOKEN is in api_key_env_vars and thus in _HERMES_PROVIDER_ENV_BLOCKLIST so the env var is silently dropped, we replace it with a non-blocked one like DATABASE_URL so the tests actually work.
* fix(test): fully isolate _has_any_provider_configured from host env
_has_any_provider_configured() checks all env vars from PROVIDER_REGISTRY (not just the 5 the tests were clearing) and also calls get_auth_status() which detects gh auth token for Copilot. On machines with any of these set, the function returns True before reaching the code path under test.
Clear all registry vars and mock get_auth_status so host credentials don't interfere.
* fix(test): correct path to hermes_base_env.py in tool parser tests
Path(__file__).parent.parent resolved to tests/, not the project root.
The file lives at environments/hermes_base_env.py so we need one more parent level.
* fix(test): accept optional HTML fields in Matrix send payload
_send_matrix sometimes adds format and formatted_body when the markdown library is installed. The test was doing an exact dict equality check which broke. Check required fields instead.
* fix(test): add config.yaml to codex vision requirements test
The test only wrote auth.json but not config.yaml, so _read_main_provider() returned empty and vision auto-detect never tried the codex provider. Add a config.yaml pointing at openai-codex so the fallback path actually resolves the client.
* fix(test): clear OPENROUTER_API_KEY in _isolate_hermes_home
run_agent.py calls load_hermes_dotenv() at import time, which injects API keys from ~/.hermes/.env into os.environ before any test fixture runs. This caused test_agent_loop_tool_calling to make real API calls instead of skipping, which ends up making some tests fail.
* fix(test): add get_rate_limit_state to agent mock in usage report tests
_show_usage now calls agent.get_rate_limit_state() for rate limit
display. The SimpleNamespace mock was missing this method.
* fix(test): update expected Camofox config version from 12 to 13
* fix(test): mock _get_enabled_platforms in nous managed defaults test
Importing gateway.run leaks DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN into os.environ, which makes _get_enabled_platforms() return ["cli", "discord"] instead of just ["cli"]. tools_command loops per platform, so apply_nous_managed_defaults
runs twice: the first call sets config values, the second sees them as
already configured and returns an empty set, causing the assertion to
fail.
Prevents unbounded memory growth in _assistant_threads dict.
Evicts oldest entries when exceeding _ASSISTANT_THREADS_MAX (5000),
matching the pattern used by _mentioned_threads and _seen_messages.
The test_non_internal_event_without_user_triggers_pairing test relied on
no Discord auth env vars being set, but gateway/run.py loads dotenv at
module level. In environments with DISCORD_ALLOW_ALL_USERS=True in .env,
the auth check passed instead of triggering the pairing flow.
Clear DISCORD_ALLOW_ALL_USERS, DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS, GATEWAY_ALLOW_ALL_USERS,
and GATEWAY_ALLOWED_USERS via monkeypatch to ensure test isolation.
When a background process with notify_on_complete=True finishes, the
gateway injects a synthetic MessageEvent to notify the session. This
event was constructed without user_id, causing _is_user_authorized()
to reject it and — for DM-origin sessions — trigger the pairing flow,
sending "Hi~ I don't recognize you yet!" with a pairing code to the
chat owner.
Add an `internal` flag to MessageEvent that bypasses authorization
checks for system-generated synthetic events. Only the process watcher
sets this flag; no external/adapter code path can produce it.
Includes 4 regression tests covering the fix and the normal pairing path.
Introduce gateway_timeout_warning (default 900s) as a pre-timeout alert
layer. When inactivity reaches the warning threshold, a single
notification is sent to the user offering to wait or reset. If
inactivity continues to the gateway_timeout (default 1800s), the full
timeout fires as before.
This gives users a chance to intervene before work is lost on slow
API providers without disabling the safety timeout entirely.
Config: agent.gateway_timeout_warning in config.yaml, or
HERMES_AGENT_TIMEOUT_WARNING env var (0 = disable warning).
Fixes#4647 — Signal replies duplicated when gateway streaming is enabled.
Root cause: stream_consumer.py did not handle the case where send() returns
success=True but no message_id (Signal behavior). Every stream delta produced
a separate send() call (7+ messages instead of 2), plus the gateway sent
another full duplicate since already_sent was never set.
Changes:
- stream_consumer.py: Add elif branch for success-without-message_id — enters
fallback mode (sets already_sent, disables editing, sends only continuation)
- signal.py send(): Extract timestamp from signal-cli RPC result as message_id
so stream consumer follows normal edit→fallback path
- signal.py: Add public stop_typing() delegating to _stop_typing_indicator()
so base adapter's _keep_typing finally block can clean up typing tasks

- gateway/platforms/discord.py: read reply_to_mode from config, respect
it in send() — skip fetch_message entirely when 'off'
- hermes_cli/config.py: add to OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS for hermes setup
- 23 tests covering config, send behavior, env var override
- docs: discord.md env var table + environment-variables.md reference
Closes community request from Stuart on Discord.
- Fire on_session_finalize and on_session_reset in gateway _handle_reset_command()
- Fire on_session_finalize during gateway stop() for each active agent
- Move CLI test from tests/ root to tests/cli/ (matches recent restructure)
- Add 5 gateway tests covering reset hooks, ordering, shutdown, and error handling
- Place on_session_reset after new session is guaranteed to exist (covers
the get_or_create_session fallback path)
Gateway and cron had inconsistent reasoning_effort resolution:
- CLI: config.yaml only (correct)
- Gateway: config.yaml first, env var fallback
- Cron: env var first, config.yaml fallback
All three now read exclusively from agent.reasoning_effort in config.yaml.
Removed HERMES_REASONING_EFFORT env var support entirely — .env is for
secrets only, not behavioral config.
Add button-based exec approval to the Feishu adapter, matching the
existing Discord, Telegram, and Slack implementations.
When the agent encounters a dangerous command, Feishu users now see
an interactive card with four buttons instead of text instructions:
- Allow Once (primary)
- Allow Session
- Always Allow
- Deny (danger)
Implementation:
- send_exec_approval() sends an interactive card via the Feishu
message API with buttons carrying hermes_action in their value dict
- _handle_card_action_event() intercepts approval button clicks
before routing them as synthetic commands, directly calling
resolve_gateway_approval() to unblock the agent thread
- _update_approval_card() replaces the orange approval card with a
green (approved) or red (denied) status card showing who acted
- _approval_state dict tracks pending approval_id → session_key
mappings; cleaned up on resolution
The gateway's existing routing in _approval_notify_sync already checks
getattr(type(adapter), 'send_exec_approval', None) and will
automatically use the button-based flow for Feishu.
Tests: 16 new tests covering send, callback resolution, state
management, card updates, and non-interference with existing card
actions.
Follow-up to sroecker's PR #5918 — test mocks were using the old 3-arg
callback signature (name, preview, args) instead of the new
(event_type, name, preview, args, **kwargs).
The webhook adapter stored per-request `deliver`/`deliver_extra` config in
`_delivery_info[chat_id]` during POST handling and consumed it via `.pop()`
inside `send()`. That worked for routes whose agent run produced exactly
one outbound message — the final response — but it broke whenever the
agent emitted any interim status message before the final response.
Status messages flow through the same `send(chat_id, ...)` path as the
final response (see `gateway/run.py::_status_callback_sync` →
`adapter.send(...)`). Common triggers include:
- "🔄 Primary model failed — switching to fallback: ..."
(run_agent.py::_emit_status when `fallback_providers` activates)
- context-pressure / compression notices
- any other lifecycle event routed through `status_callback`
When any of those fired, the first `send()` call popped the entry, so the
subsequent final-response `send()` saw an empty dict and silently
downgraded `deliver_type` from `"telegram"` (or `discord`/`slack`/etc.) to
the default `"log"`. The agent's response was logged to the gateway log
instead of being delivered to the configured cross-platform target — no
warning, no error, just a missing message.
This was easy to hit in practice. Any user with `fallback_providers`
configured saw it the first time their primary provider hiccuped on a
webhook-triggered run. Routes that worked perfectly in dev (where the
primary stays healthy) silently dropped responses in prod.
Fix: read `_delivery_info` with `.get()` so multiple `send()` calls for
the same `chat_id` all see the same delivery config. To keep the dict
bounded without relying on per-send cleanup, add a parallel
`_delivery_info_created` timestamp dict and a `_prune_delivery_info()`
helper that drops entries older than `_idempotency_ttl` (1h, same window
already used by `_seen_deliveries`). Pruning runs on each POST, mirroring
the existing `_seen_deliveries` cleanup pattern.
Worst-case memory footprint is now `rate_limit * TTL = 30/min * 60min =
1800` entries, each ~1KB → under 2 MB. In practice it'll be far smaller
because most webhooks complete in seconds, not the full hour.
Test changes:
- `test_delivery_info_cleaned_after_send` is replaced with
`test_delivery_info_survives_multiple_sends`, which is now the
regression test for this bug — it asserts that two consecutive
`send()` calls both see the delivery config.
- A new `test_delivery_info_pruned_via_ttl` covers the TTL cleanup
behavior.
- The two integration tests that asserted `chat_id not in
adapter._delivery_info` after `send()` now assert the opposite, with
a comment explaining why.
All 40 tests in `tests/gateway/test_webhook_adapter.py` and
`tests/gateway/test_webhook_integration.py` pass. Verified end-to-end
locally against a dynamic `hermes webhook subscribe` route configured
with `--deliver telegram --deliver-chat-id <user>`: with `gpt-5.4` as
the primary (currently flaky) and `claude-opus-4.6` as the fallback,
the fallback notification fires, the agent finishes, and the final
response is delivered to Telegram as expected.
* refactor: re-architect tests to mirror the codebase
* Update tests.yml
* fix: add missing tool_error imports after registry refactor
* fix(tests): replace patch.dict with monkeypatch to prevent env var leaks under xdist
patch.dict(os.environ) can leak TERMINAL_ENV across xdist workers,
causing test_code_execution tests to hit the Modal remote path.
* fix(tests): fix update_check and telegram xdist failures
- test_update_check: replace patch("hermes_cli.banner.os.getenv") with
monkeypatch.setenv("HERMES_HOME") — banner.py no longer imports os
directly, it uses get_hermes_home() from hermes_constants.
- test_telegram_conflict/approval_buttons: provide real exception classes
for telegram.error mock (NetworkError, TimedOut, BadRequest) so the
except clause in connect() doesn't fail with "catching classes that do
not inherit from BaseException" when xdist pollutes sys.modules.
* fix(tests): accept unavailable_models kwarg in _prompt_model_selection mock
Previously, all/new tool progress modes always hard-truncated previews
to 40 chars, ignoring the display.tool_preview_length config. This made
it impossible for gateway users to see meaningful command/path info
without switching to verbose mode (which shows too much detail).
Now all/new modes read tool_preview_length from config:
- tool_preview_length: 0 (default/unset) → 40 chars (no regression)
- tool_preview_length: 120 → 120-char previews in all/new mode
- verbose mode: unchanged (already respected the config)
Users who want longer previews can set:
display:
tool_preview_length: 120

Captions in photo bursts and media group albums were silently dropped when
a shorter caption happened to be a substring of an existing one (e.g.
"Meeting" lost inside "Meeting agenda"). Extract a shared _merge_caption
static helper that splits on "\n\n" and uses exact match with whitespace
normalisation, then use it in both _enqueue_photo_event and
_queue_media_group_event.
Adds 13 unit tests covering the fixed bug scenarios.
Cherry-picked from PR #2671 by Dilee.
When the bot sends a message in a thread, track its ts in _bot_message_ts.
When the bot is @mentioned in a thread, register it in _mentioned_threads.
Both sets enable auto-responding to future messages in those threads
without requiring repeated @mentions — making the bot behave like a
team member that stays engaged once a conversation starts.
Channel message gating now checks 4 signals (in order):
1. @mention in this message
2. Reply in a thread the bot started/participated in (_bot_message_ts)
3. Message in a thread where the bot was previously @mentioned (_mentioned_threads)
4. Existing session for this thread (_has_active_session_for_thread — survives restarts)
Thread context fetching now triggers on ANY first-entry path (not just
@mention), so the agent gets context whether it's entering via a mention,
a bot-thread reply, or a mentioned-thread auto-trigger.
Both tracking sets are bounded (5000 cap with prune-oldest-half) to prevent
unbounded memory growth in long-running deployments.
Salvaged from PR #5754 by @hhhonzik. Preserves our existing approval buttons,
thread context fetching, and session key fix. Does NOT include the
edit_message format_message() removal (that was a regression in the original PR).
Tests: 4 new tests for bot-ts tracking and mentioned-thread bounds.
Slack:
- Add Block Kit interactive buttons for command approval (Allow Once,
Allow Session, Always Allow, Deny) via send_exec_approval()
- Register @app.action handlers for each approval button
- Add _fetch_thread_context() — fetches thread history via
conversations.replies when bot is first @mentioned mid-thread
- Fix _has_active_session_for_thread() to use build_session_key()
instead of manual key construction (fixes session key mismatch bug
where thread_sessions_per_user flag was ignored, ref PR #5833)
Telegram:
- Add InlineKeyboard approval buttons via send_exec_approval()
- Add ea:* callback handling in _handle_callback_query()
- Uses monotonic counter + _approval_state dict to map button clicks
back to session keys (avoids 64-byte callback_data limit)
Both platforms now auto-detected by the gateway runner's
_approval_notify_sync() — any adapter with send_exec_approval() on
its class gets button-based approval instead of text fallback.
Inspired by community PRs #3898 (LevSky22), #2953 (ygd58), #5833
(heathley). Implemented fresh on current main.
Tests: 24 new tests covering button rendering, action handling,
thread context fetching, session key fix, double-click prevention.
* fix: repair 57 failing CI tests across 14 files
Categories of fixes:
**Test isolation under xdist (-n auto):**
- test_hermes_logging: Strip ALL RotatingFileHandlers before each test
to prevent handlers leaked from other xdist workers from polluting counts
- test_code_execution: Force TERMINAL_ENV=local in setUp — prevents Modal
AuthError when another test leaks TERMINAL_ENV=modal
- test_timezone: Same TERMINAL_ENV fix for execute_code timezone tests
- test_codex_execution_paths: Mock _resolve_turn_agent_config to ensure
model resolution works regardless of xdist worker state
**Matrix adapter tests (nio not installed in CI):**
- Add _make_fake_nio() helper with real response classes for isinstance()
checks in production code
- Replace MagicMock(spec=nio.XxxResponse) with fake_nio instances
- Wrap production method calls with patch.dict('sys.modules', {'nio': ...})
so import nio succeeds in method bodies
- Use try/except instead of pytest.importorskip for nio.crypto imports
(importorskip can be fooled by MagicMock in sys.modules)
- test_matrix_voice: Skip entire file if nio is a mock, not just missing
**Stale test expectations:**
- test_cli_provider_resolution: _prompt_provider_choice now takes **kwargs
(default param added); mock getpass.getpass alongside input
- test_anthropic_oauth_flow: Mock getpass.getpass (code switched from input)
- test_gemini_provider: Mock models.dev + OpenRouter API lookups to test
hardcoded defaults without external API variance
- test_code_execution: Add notify_on_complete to blocked terminal params
- test_setup_openclaw_migration: Mock prompt_choice to select 'Full setup'
(new quick-setup path leads to _require_tty → sys.exit in CI)
- test_skill_manager_tool: Patch get_all_skills_dirs alongside SKILLS_DIR
so _find_skill searches tmp_path, not real ~/.hermes/skills/
**Missing attributes in object.__new__ test runners:**
- test_platform_reconnect: Add session_store to _make_runner()
- test_session_race_guard: Add hooks, _running_agents_ts, session_store,
delivery_router to _make_runner()
**Production bug fix (gateway/run.py):**
- Fix sentinel eviction race: _AGENT_PENDING_SENTINEL was immediately
evicted by the stale-detection logic because sentinels have no
get_activity_summary() method, causing _stale_idle=inf >= timeout.
Guard _should_evict with 'is not _AGENT_PENDING_SENTINEL'.
* fix: address remaining CI failures
- test_setup_openclaw_migration: Also mock _offer_launch_chat (called at
end of both quick and full setup paths)
- test_code_execution: Move TERMINAL_ENV=local to module level to protect
ALL test classes (TestEnvVarFiltering, TestExecuteCodeEdgeCases,
TestInterruptHandling, TestHeadTailTruncation) from xdist env leaks
- test_matrix: Use try/except for nio.crypto imports (importorskip can be
fooled by MagicMock in sys.modules under xdist)
* refactor: remove browser_close tool — auto-cleanup handles it
The browser_close tool was called in only 9% of browser sessions (13/144
navigations across 66 sessions), always redundantly — cleanup_browser()
already runs via _cleanup_task_resources() at conversation end, and the
background inactivity reaper catches anything else.
Removing it saves one tool schema slot in every browser-enabled API call.
Also fixes a latent bug: cleanup_browser() now handles Camofox sessions
too (previously only Browserbase). Camofox sessions were never auto-cleaned
per-task because they live in a separate dict from _active_sessions.
Files changed (13):
- tools/browser_tool.py: remove function, schema, registry entry; add
camofox cleanup to cleanup_browser()
- toolsets.py, model_tools.py, prompt_builder.py, display.py,
acp_adapter/tools.py: remove browser_close from all tool lists
- tests/: remove browser_close test, update toolset assertion
- docs/skills: remove all browser_close references
* fix: repeat browser_scroll 5x per call for meaningful page movement
Most backends scroll ~100px per call — barely visible on a typical
viewport. Repeating 5x gives ~500px (~half a viewport), making each
scroll tool call actually useful.
Backend-agnostic approach: works across all 7+ browser backends without
needing to configure each one's scroll amount individually. Breaks
early on error for the agent-browser path.
* feat: auto-return compact snapshot from browser_navigate
Every browser session starts with navigate → snapshot. Now navigate
returns the compact accessibility tree snapshot inline, saving one
tool call per browser task.
The snapshot captures the full page DOM (not viewport-limited), so
scroll position doesn't affect it. browser_snapshot remains available
for refreshing after interactions or getting full=true content.
Both Browserbase and Camofox paths auto-snapshot. If the snapshot
fails for any reason, navigation still succeeds — the snapshot is
a bonus, not a requirement.
Schema descriptions updated to guide models: navigate mentions it
returns a snapshot, snapshot mentions it's for refresh/full content.
* refactor: slim cronjob tool schema — consolidate model/provider, drop unused params
Session data (151 calls across 67 sessions) showed several schema
properties were never used by models. Consolidated and cleaned up:
Removed from schema (still work via backend/CLI):
- skill (singular): use skills array instead
- reason: pause-only, unnecessary
- include_disabled: now defaults to true
- base_url: extreme edge case, zero usage
- provider (standalone): merged into model object
Consolidated:
- model + provider → single 'model' object with {model, provider} fields.
If provider is omitted, the current main provider is pinned at creation
time so the job stays stable even if the user changes their default.
Kept:
- script: useful data collection feature
- skills array: standard interface for skill loading
Schema shrinks from 14 to 10 properties. All backend functionality
preserved — the Python function signature and handler lambda still
accept every parameter.
* fix: remove mixture_of_agents from core toolsets — opt-in only via hermes tools
MoA was in _HERMES_CORE_TOOLS and composite toolsets (hermes-cli,
hermes-messaging, safe), which meant it appeared in every session
for anyone with OPENROUTER_API_KEY set. The _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS
gate only works after running 'hermes tools' explicitly.
Now MoA only appears when a user explicitly enables it via
'hermes tools'. The moa toolset definition and check_fn remain
unchanged — it just needs to be opted into.
* fix(gateway): /stop and /new bypass Level 1 active-session guard
The base adapter's Level 1 guard intercepted ALL messages while an
agent was running, including /stop and /new. These commands were queued
as pending messages instead of being dispatched to the gateway runner's
Level 2 handler. When the agent eventually stopped (via the interrupt
mechanism), the command text leaked into the conversation as a user
message — the model would receive '/stop' as input and respond to it.
Fix: Add /stop, /new, and /reset to the bypass set in base.py alongside
/approve, /deny, and /status. Consolidate the three separate bypass
blocks into one. Commands in the bypass set are dispatched inline to the
gateway runner, where Level 2 handles them correctly (hard-kill for
/stop, session reset for /new).
Also add a safety net in _run_agent's pending-message processing: if the
pending text resolves to a known slash command, discard it instead of
passing it to the agent. This catches edge cases where command text
leaks through the interrupt_message fallback.
Refs: #5244
* test: regression tests for command bypass of active-session guard
17 tests covering:
- /stop, /new, /reset bypass the Level 1 guard when agent is running
- /approve, /deny, /status bypass (existing behavior, now tested)
- Regular text and unknown commands still queued (not bypassed)
- File paths like '/path/to/file' not treated as commands
- Telegram @botname suffix handled correctly
- Safety net command resolution (resolve_command detects known commands)
When streaming was enabled on the gateway, the stream consumer created a
single message at the start and kept editing it as tokens arrived. Tool
progress messages were sent as separate messages below it. Since edits
don't change message position on Telegram/Matrix/Discord, the final
response ended up stuck above all tool progress messages — users had to
scroll up past potentially dozens of tool call lines to read the answer.
The agent already sends stream_delta_callback(None) at tool boundaries
(before _execute_tool_calls). The stream consumer was ignoring this
signal. Now it treats None as a segment break: finalizes the current
message (removes cursor), resets _message_id, and the next text chunk
creates a fresh message below the tool progress messages.
Timeline before:
[msg 1: 'Let me search...' → edits → 'Here is the answer'] ← top
[msg 2: tool progress lines] ← bottom
Timeline after:
[msg 1: 'Let me search...'] ← top
[msg 2: tool progress lines]
[msg 3: 'Here is the answer'] ← bottom (visible)

When a user replies in a Slack thread where the bot has an active
conversation session, the bot now processes the message even without
an explicit @mention. This improves UX for ongoing threaded
discussions.
Changes:
- Added set_session_store() to BasePlatformAdapter for adapters to
check active sessions
- Modified SlackAdapter to detect thread replies and check if a
session exists for that thread before requiring @mentions
- Updated GatewayRunner to inject the session store into adapters
- Added comprehensive tests for the new behavior
Fixes: Thread replies without @jarvis are now processed if there is
an active session, matching user expectations for conversation flow

- Add default_group_policy fallback for chats without explicit rules
- Thread chat_id through group message gate for per-chat rule selection
- Match both open_id and user_id for backward compatibility
- Preserve existing FEISHU_ALLOWED_USERS / FEISHU_GROUP_POLICY behavior
- Add focused regression tests for all policy modes

Reapply local reconnect and ping settings after the Feishu SDK refreshes its client config so user-provided websocket tuning actually takes effect.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Allow Feishu websocket keepalive timing to be configured via platform
extra config so disconnects can be detected faster in unstable networks.
New optional extra settings:
- ws_ping_interval
- ws_ping_timeout
These values are applied only when explicitly configured. Invalid values
fall back to the websocket library defaults by leaving the options unset.
This complements the reconnect timing settings added previously and helps
reduce total recovery time after network interruptions.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Allow users to configure websocket reconnect behavior via platform extra
config to reduce reconnect latency in production environments.
The official Feishu SDK defaults to:
- First reconnect: random jitter 0-30 seconds
- Subsequent retries: 120 second intervals
This can cause 20-30 second delays before reconnection after network
interruptions. This commit makes these values configurable while keeping
the SDK defaults for backward compatibility.
Configuration via ~/.hermes/config.yaml:
```yaml
platforms:
feishu:
extra:
ws_reconnect_nonce: 0 # Disable first-reconnect jitter (default: 30)
ws_reconnect_interval: 3 # Retry every 3 seconds (default: 120)
```
Invalid values (negative numbers, non-integers) fall back to SDK defaults.

This commit fixes two critical bugs in the Feishu adapter that affect
message reliability and process lifecycle.
**Bug Fix 1: Intermittent Message Drops**
Root cause: Event handler was created once in __init__ and reused across
reconnects, causing callbacks to capture stale loop references. When the
adapter disconnected and reconnected, old callbacks continued firing with
invalid loop references, resulting in dropped messages with warnings:
"[Feishu] Dropping inbound message before adapter loop is ready"
Fix:
- Rebuild event handler on each connect (websocket/webhook)
- Clear handler on disconnect
- Ensure callbacks always capture current valid loop
- Add defensive loop.is_closed() checks with getattr for test compatibility
- Unify webhook dispatch path to use same loop checks as websocket mode
**Bug Fix 2: Process Hangs on Ctrl+C / SIGTERM**
Root cause: Feishu SDK's websocket client runs in a background thread with
an infinite _select() loop that never exits naturally. The thread was never
properly joined on disconnect, causing processes to hang indefinitely after
Ctrl+C or gateway stop commands.
Fix:
- Store reference to thread-local event loop (_ws_thread_loop)
- On disconnect, cancel all tasks in thread loop and stop it gracefully
via call_soon_threadsafe()
- Await thread future with 10s timeout
- Clean up pending tasks in thread's finally block before closing loop
- Add detailed debug logging for disconnect flow
**Additional Improvements:**
- Add regression tests for disconnect cleanup and webhook dispatch
- Ensure all event callbacks check loop readiness before dispatching
Tested on Linux with websocket mode. All Feishu tests pass.

Two issues caused Matrix E2EE to silently not work in encrypted rooms:
1. When matrix-nio is installed without the [e2e] extra (no python-olm /
libolm), nio.crypto.ENCRYPTION_ENABLED is False and client.olm is
never initialized. The adapter logged warnings but returned True from
connect(), so the bot appeared online but could never decrypt messages.
Now: check_matrix_requirements() and connect() both hard-fail with a
clear error message when MATRIX_ENCRYPTION=true but E2EE deps are
missing.
2. Without a stable device_id, the bot gets a new device identity on each
restart. Other clients see it as "unknown device" and refuse to share
Megolm session keys. Now: MATRIX_DEVICE_ID env var lets users pin a
stable device identity that persists across restarts and is passed to
nio.AsyncClient constructor + restore_login().
Changes:
- gateway/platforms/matrix.py: add _check_e2ee_deps(), hard-fail in
connect() and check_matrix_requirements(), MATRIX_DEVICE_ID support
in constructor + restore_login
- gateway/config.py: plumb MATRIX_DEVICE_ID into platform extras
- hermes_cli/config.py: add MATRIX_DEVICE_ID to OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS
Closes#3521
The _async_flush_memories() helper accepts (session_id) but both the
/new and /resume handlers passed two arguments (session_id, session_key).
The TypeError was silently swallowed at DEBUG level, so memory extraction
never ran when users typed /new or /resume.
One call site (the session expiry watcher) was already fixed in 9c96f669,
but /new and /resume were missed.
- gateway/run.py:3247 — remove stray session_key from /new handler
- gateway/run.py:4989 — remove stray session_key from /resume handler
- tests/gateway/test_resume_command.py:222 — update test assertion
- {__raw__} in webhook prompt templates dumps the full JSON payload (truncated at 4000 chars)
- _deliver_cross_platform now passes thread_id/message_thread_id from deliver_extra as metadata, enabling Telegram forum topic delivery
- Tests for both features
The Signal adapter inherited base class defaults for send_image_file(),
send_voice(), and send_video() which only sent the file path as text
(e.g. '🖼️ Image: /tmp/chart.png') instead of actually delivering the file
as a Signal attachment.
When agent responses contain MEDIA:/path/to/file tags, the gateway
media pipeline extracts them and routes through these methods by file
type. Without proper overrides, image/audio/video files were never
actually delivered to Signal users.
Extract a shared _send_attachment() helper that handles all file
validation, size checking, group/DM routing, and RPC dispatch. The four
public methods (send_document, send_image_file, send_voice, send_video)
now delegate to this helper, following the same pattern used by WhatsApp
(_send_media_to_bridge) and Discord (_send_file_attachment).
The helper also uses a single stat() call with try/except FileNotFoundError
instead of the previous exists() + stat() two-syscall pattern, eliminating
a TOCTOU race. As a bonus, send_document() now gains the 100MB size check
that was previously missing (inconsistency with send_image).
Add 25 tests covering all methods plus MEDIA: tag extraction integration,
method-override guards, and send_document's new size check.
Fixes#5105
Threads (Telegram forum topics, Discord threads, Slack threads) now default
to shared sessions where all participants see the same conversation. This is
the expected UX for threaded conversations where multiple users @mention the
bot and interact collaboratively.
Changes:
- build_session_key(): when thread_id is present, user_id is no longer
appended to the session key (threads are shared by default)
- New config: thread_sessions_per_user (default: false) — opt-in to restore
per-user isolation in threads if needed
- Sender attribution: messages in shared threads are prefixed with
[sender name] so the agent can tell participants apart
- System prompt: shared threads show 'Multi-user thread' note instead of
a per-turn User line (avoids busting prompt cache)
- Wired through all callers: gateway/run.py, base.py, telegram.py, feishu.py
- Regular group messages (no thread) remain per-user isolated (unchanged)
- DM threads are unaffected (they have their own keying logic)
Closes community request from demontut_ re: thread-based shared sessions.
Only request the privileged members intent when DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS includes non-numeric entries that need username resolution. Also release the Discord token lock when startup fails so retries and restarts are not blocked by a stale lock.\n\nAdds regression tests for conditional intents and startup lock cleanup.
Plain functions imported as class attributes in APIServerAdapter get
auto-bound as methods via Python's descriptor protocol. Every
self._cron_*() call injected self as the first positional argument,
causing TypeError on all 8 cron API endpoints at runtime.
Wrap each import with staticmethod() so self._cron_*() calls dispatch
correctly without modifying any call sites.

Add POST /v1/runs to start async agent runs and GET /v1/runs/{run_id}/events
for SSE streaming of typed lifecycle events (tool.started, tool.completed,
message.delta, reasoning.available, run.completed, run.failed).
Changes the internal tool_progress_callback signature from positional
(tool_name, preview, args) to event-type-first
(event_type, tool_name, preview, args, **kwargs). Existing consumers
filter on event_type and remain backward-compatible.
Adds concurrency limit (_MAX_CONCURRENT_RUNS=10) and orphaned run sweep.
Fixes logic inversion in cli.py _on_tool_progress where the original PR
would have displayed internal tools instead of non-internal ones.

Previously, typing a /command that isn't a built-in, plugin, or skill
would silently fall through to the LLM as plain text. The model often
interprets it as a loose instruction and invents unrelated tool calls —
e.g. a stray /claude_code slipped through and the model fabricated a
delegate_task invocation that got stuck in an OAuth loop.
Now we check GATEWAY_KNOWN_COMMANDS after the skill / plugin /
unavailable-skill lookups and return an actionable message pointing the
user at /commands. The user gets feedback, and the agent doesn't waste
a round-trip guessing what /foo-bar was supposed to mean.
Telegram polling can inherit a stale webhook registration when a deployment
switches transport modes, which leaves getUpdates idle even though the gateway
starts cleanly. Outbound send also treats Telegram retry_after responses as
terminal errors, so brief flood control can drop tool progress and replies.
Constraint: Keep the PR narrowly scoped to upstream/main Telegram adapter behavior
Rejected: Port OpenClaw's broader polling supervisor and offset persistence | too broad for an isolated fix PR
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Polling mode should clear webhook state before starting getUpdates, and send-path retry logic must distinguish flood control from timeouts
Tested: uv run --extra dev pytest tests/gateway/test_telegram_* -q
Not-tested: Live Telegram webhook-to-polling migration and real Bot API 429 behavior
When an agent was actively processing a message, /status sent via Telegram
(or any gateway) was queued as a pending interrupt instead of being dispatched
immediately. The base platform adapter's handle_message() only had special-case
bypass logic for /approve and /deny, so /status fell through to the default
interrupt path and was never processed as a system command.
Apply the same bypass pattern used by /approve//deny: detect cmd == 'status'
inside the active-session guard, dispatch directly to the message handler, and
send the response without touching session lifecycle or interrupt state.
Adds a regression test that verifies /status is dispatched and responded to
immediately even when _active_sessions contains an entry for the session.

Registers RoomEncryptedImage/Audio/Video/File callbacks, decrypts
attachments via nio.crypto, caches all media types (images, audio,
documents), prevents ciphertext URL fallback for encrypted media.
Unifies the separate voice-message download into the main cache block.
Preserves main's MATRIX_REQUIRE_MENTION, auto-thread, and mention
stripping features. Includes 355 lines of encrypted media tests.

* feat(gateway): live-stream /update output + forward interactive prompts
Adds real-time output streaming and interactive prompt forwarding for
the gateway /update command, so users on Telegram/Discord/etc see the
full update progress and can respond to prompts (stash restore, config
migration) without needing terminal access.
Changes:
hermes_cli/main.py:
- Add --gateway flag to 'hermes update' argparse
- Add _gateway_prompt() file-based IPC function that writes
.update_prompt.json and polls for .update_response
- Modify _restore_stashed_changes() to accept optional input_fn
parameter for gateway mode prompt forwarding
- cmd_update() uses _gateway_prompt when --gateway is set, enabling
interactive stash restore and config migration prompts
gateway/run.py:
- _handle_update_command: spawn with --gateway flag and
PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 for real-time output flushing
- Store session_key in .update_pending.json for cross-restart
session matching
- Add _update_prompt_pending dict to track sessions awaiting
update prompt responses
- Replace _watch_for_update_completion with _watch_update_progress:
streams output chunks every ~4s, detects .update_prompt.json and
forwards prompts to the user, handles completion/failure/timeout
- Add update prompt interception in _handle_message: when a prompt
is pending, the user's next message is written to .update_response
instead of being processed normally
- Preserve _send_update_notification as legacy fallback for
post-restart cases where adapter isn't available yet
File-based IPC protocol:
- .update_prompt.json: written by update process with prompt text,
default value, and unique ID
- .update_response: written by gateway with user's answer
- .update_output.txt: existing, now streamed in real-time
- .update_exit_code: existing completion marker
Tests: 16 new tests covering _gateway_prompt IPC, output streaming,
prompt detection/forwarding, message interception, and cleanup.
* feat: interactive buttons for update prompts (Telegram + Discord)
Telegram: Inline keyboard with ✓ Yes / ✗ No buttons. Clicking a button
answers the callback query, edits the message to show the choice, and
writes .update_response directly. CallbackQueryHandler registered on
the update_prompt: prefix.
Discord: UpdatePromptView (discord.ui.View) with green Yes / red No
buttons. Follows the ExecApprovalView pattern — auth check, embed color
update, disabled-after-click. Writes .update_response on click.
All platforms: /approve and /deny (and /yes, /no) now work as shorthand
for yes/no when an update prompt is pending. The text fallback message
instructs users to use these commands. Raw message interception still
works as a fallback for non-command responses.
Gateway watcher checks adapter for send_update_prompt method (class-level
check to avoid MagicMock false positives) and falls back to text prompt
with /approve instructions when unavailable.
* fix: block /update on non-messaging platforms (API, webhooks, ACP)
Add _UPDATE_ALLOWED_PLATFORMS frozenset that explicitly lists messaging
platforms where /update is permitted. API server, webhook, and ACP
platforms get a clear error directing them to run hermes update from
the terminal instead.
ACP and API server already don't reach _handle_message (separate
codepaths), and webhooks have distinct session keys that can't collide
with messaging sessions. This guard is belt-and-suspenders.
TimedOut is a subclass of NetworkError in python-telegram-bot. The
inner retry loop in send() and the outer _send_with_retry() in base.py
both treated it as a transient connection error and retried — but
send_message is not idempotent. When the request reaches Telegram but
the HTTP response times out, the message is already delivered. Retrying
sends duplicates. Worst case: up to 9 copies (inner 3x × outer 3x).
Inner loop (telegram.py):
- Import TimedOut separately, isinstance-check before generic
NetworkError retry (same pattern as BadRequest carve-out from #3390)
- Re-raise immediately — no retry
- Mark as retryable=False in outer exception handler
Outer loop (base.py):
- Remove 'timeout', 'timed out', 'readtimeout', 'writetimeout' from
_RETRYABLE_ERROR_PATTERNS (read/write timeouts are delivery-ambiguous)
- Add 'connecttimeout' (safe — connection never established)
- Keep 'network' (other platforms still need it)
- Add _is_timeout_error() + early return to prevent plain-text fallback
on timeout errors (would also cause duplicate delivery)
Connection errors (ConnectionReset, ConnectError, etc.) are still
retried — these fail before the request reaches the server.
Credit: tmdgusya (PR #3899), barun1997 (PR #3904) for identifying the
bug and proposing fixes.
Closes#3899, closes#3904.
When streaming is enabled, the GatewayStreamConsumer sends raw text
chunks directly to the platform without post-processing. This causes
MEDIA:/path/to/file tags and [[audio_as_voice]] directives to appear
as visible text in the user's chat instead of being stripped.
The non-streaming path already handles this correctly via
extract_media() in base.py, but the streaming path was missing
equivalent cleanup.
Add _clean_for_display() to GatewayStreamConsumer that strips MEDIA:
tags and internal markers before any text reaches the platform. The
actual media file delivery is unaffected — _deliver_media_from_response()
in gateway/run.py still extracts files from the agent's final_response
(separate from the stream consumer's display text).
Reported by Ao [FotM] on Discord.
Move mention stripping outside the `if not is_dm` guard so mentions
are stripped in DMs too. Remove the bare-mention early return so a
message containing only a mention passes through as empty string,

Bug fixes:
- agent/redact.py: catastrophic regex backtracking in _ENV_ASSIGN_RE — removed
re.IGNORECASE and changed [A-Z_]* to [A-Z0-9_]* to restrict matching to actual
env var name chars. Without this, the pattern backtracks exponentially on large
strings (e.g. 100K tool output), causing test_file_read_guards to time out.
- tools/file_operations.py: over-escaped newline in find -printf format string
produced literal backslash-n instead of a real newline, breaking file search
result parsing (total_count always 1, paths concatenated).
Test fixes:
- Remove stale pytestmark.skip from 4 test modules that were blanket-skipped as
'Hangs in non-interactive environments' but actually run fine:
- test_413_compression.py (12 tests, 25s)
- test_file_tools_live.py (71 tests, 24s)
- test_code_execution.py (61 tests, 99s)
- test_agent_loop_tool_calling.py (has proper OPENROUTER_API_KEY skip already)
- test_413_compression.py: fix threshold values in 2 preflight compression tests
where context_length was too small for the compressed output to fit in one pass.
- test_mcp_probe.py: add missing _MCP_AVAILABLE mock so tests work without MCP SDK.
- test_mcp_tool_issue_948.py: inject MCP symbols (StdioServerParameters etc.) when
SDK is not installed so patch() targets exist.
- test_approve_deny_commands.py: replace time.sleep(0.3) with deterministic polling
of _gateway_queues — fixes race condition where resolve fires before threads
register their approval entries, causing the test to hang indefinitely.
Net effect: +256 tests recovered from skip, 8 real failures fixed.
- 7 new tests covering skill binding, fallthrough, coercion
- Docs section in telegram.md with config format, field reference,
comparison table, and thread_id discovery tip
- Add .zip to SUPPORTED_DOCUMENT_TYPES so gateway platforms (Telegram,
Slack, Discord) cache uploaded zip files instead of rejecting them.
- Add get_cache_directory_mounts() and iter_cache_files() to
credential_files.py for host-side cache directory passthrough
(documents, images, audio, screenshots).
- Docker: bind-mount cache dirs read-only alongside credentials/skills.
Changes are live (bind mount semantics).
- Modal: mount cache files at sandbox creation + resync before each
command via _sync_files() with mtime+size change detection.
- Handles backward-compat with legacy dir names (document_cache,
image_cache, audio_cache, browser_screenshots) via get_hermes_dir().
- Container paths always use the new cache/<subdir> layout regardless
of host layout.
This replaces the need for a dedicated extract_archive tool (PR #4819)
— the agent can now use standard terminal commands (unzip, tar) on
uploaded files inside remote containers.
Closes: related to PR #4819 by kshitijk4poor
Three fixes for memory+profile isolation bugs:
1. memory_tool.py: Replace module-level MEMORY_DIR constant with
get_memory_dir() function that calls get_hermes_home() dynamically.
The old constant was cached at import time and could go stale if
HERMES_HOME changed after import. Internal MemoryStore methods now
call get_memory_dir() directly. MEMORY_DIR kept as backward-compat
alias.
2. profiles.py: profile create --clone now copies MEMORY.md and USER.md
from the source profile. These curated memory files are part of the
agent's identity (same as SOUL.md) and should carry over on clone.
3. holographic plugin: initialize() now expands $HERMES_HOME and
${HERMES_HOME} in the db_path config value, so users can write
'db_path: $HERMES_HOME/memory_store.db' and it resolves to the
active profile directory, not the default home.
Tests updated to mock get_memory_dir() alongside the legacy MEMORY_DIR.
Two fixes for Discord exec approval:
1. Register /approve and /deny as native Discord slash commands so they
appear in Discord's command picker (autocomplete). Previously they
were only handled as text commands, so users saw 'no commands found'
when typing /approve.
2. Wire up the existing ExecApprovalView button UI (was dead code):
- ExecApprovalView now calls resolve_gateway_approval() to actually
unblock the waiting agent thread when a button is clicked
- Gateway's _approval_notify_sync() detects adapters with
send_exec_approval() and routes through the button UI
- Added 'Allow Session' button for parity with /approve session
- send_exec_approval() now accepts session_key and metadata for
thread support
- Graceful fallback to text-based /approve prompt if button send fails
Also updates test mocks to include grey/secondary ButtonStyle and
purple Color (used by new button styles).
The PR changed prev_tools from list[str] to list[dict] with name/result
keys. The gateway's _step_callback_sync passed this directly to hooks
as 'tool_names', breaking user-authored hooks that call
', '.join(tool_names).
Now:
- 'tool_names' always contains strings (backward-compatible)
- 'tools' carries the enriched dicts for hooks that want results
Also adds summary logging to register_mcp_servers() and comprehensive
tests for all three PR changes:
- sanitize_mcp_name_component edge cases
- register_mcp_servers public API
- _register_session_mcp_servers ACP integration
- step_callback result forwarding
- gateway normalization backward compat
* feat(memory): add pluggable memory provider interface with profile isolation
Introduces a pluggable MemoryProvider ABC so external memory backends can
integrate with Hermes without modifying core files. Each backend becomes a
plugin implementing a standard interface, orchestrated by MemoryManager.
Key architecture:
- agent/memory_provider.py — ABC with core + optional lifecycle hooks
- agent/memory_manager.py — single integration point in the agent loop
- agent/builtin_memory_provider.py — wraps existing MEMORY.md/USER.md
Profile isolation fixes applied to all 6 shipped plugins:
- Cognitive Memory: use get_hermes_home() instead of raw env var
- Hindsight Memory: check $HERMES_HOME/hindsight/config.json first,
fall back to legacy ~/.hindsight/ for backward compat
- Hermes Memory Store: replace hardcoded ~/.hermes paths with
get_hermes_home() for config loading and DB path defaults
- Mem0 Memory: use get_hermes_home() instead of raw env var
- RetainDB Memory: auto-derive profile-scoped project name from
hermes_home path (hermes-<profile>), explicit env var overrides
- OpenViking Memory: read-only, no local state, isolation via .env
MemoryManager.initialize_all() now injects hermes_home into kwargs so
every provider can resolve profile-scoped storage without importing
get_hermes_home() themselves.
Plugin system: adds register_memory_provider() to PluginContext and
get_plugin_memory_providers() accessor.
Based on PR #3825. 46 tests (37 unit + 5 E2E + 4 plugin registration).
* refactor(memory): drop cognitive plugin, rewrite OpenViking as full provider
Remove cognitive-memory plugin (#727) — core mechanics are broken:
decay runs 24x too fast (hourly not daily), prefetch uses row ID as
timestamp, search limited by importance not similarity.
Rewrite openviking-memory plugin from a read-only search wrapper into
a full bidirectional memory provider using the complete OpenViking
session lifecycle API:
- sync_turn: records user/assistant messages to OpenViking session
(threaded, non-blocking)
- on_session_end: commits session to trigger automatic memory extraction
into 6 categories (profile, preferences, entities, events, cases,
patterns)
- prefetch: background semantic search via find() endpoint
- on_memory_write: mirrors built-in memory writes to the session
- is_available: checks env var only, no network calls (ABC compliance)
Tools expanded from 3 to 5:
- viking_search: semantic search with mode/scope/limit
- viking_read: tiered content (abstract ~100tok / overview ~2k / full)
- viking_browse: filesystem-style navigation (list/tree/stat)
- viking_remember: explicit memory storage via session
- viking_add_resource: ingest URLs/docs into knowledge base
Uses direct HTTP via httpx (no openviking SDK dependency needed).
Response truncation on viking_read to prevent context flooding.
* fix(memory): harden Mem0 plugin — thread safety, non-blocking sync, circuit breaker
- Remove redundant mem0_context tool (identical to mem0_search with
rerank=true, top_k=5 — wastes a tool slot and confuses the model)
- Thread sync_turn so it's non-blocking — Mem0's server-side LLM
extraction can take 5-10s, was stalling the agent after every turn
- Add threading.Lock around _get_client() for thread-safe lazy init
(prefetch and sync threads could race on first client creation)
- Add circuit breaker: after 5 consecutive API failures, pause calls
for 120s instead of hammering a down server every turn. Auto-resets
after cooldown. Logs a warning when tripped.
- Track success/failure in prefetch, sync_turn, and all tool calls
- Wait for previous sync to finish before starting a new one (prevents
unbounded thread accumulation on rapid turns)
- Clean up shutdown to join both prefetch and sync threads
* fix(memory): enforce single external memory provider limit
MemoryManager now rejects a second non-builtin provider with a warning.
Built-in memory (MEMORY.md/USER.md) is always accepted. Only ONE
external plugin provider is allowed at a time. This prevents tool
schema bloat (some providers add 3-5 tools each) and conflicting
memory backends.
The warning message directs users to configure memory.provider in
config.yaml to select which provider to activate.
Updated all 47 tests to use builtin + one external pattern instead
of multiple externals. Added test_second_external_rejected to verify
the enforcement.
* feat(memory): add ByteRover memory provider plugin
Implements the ByteRover integration (from PR #3499 by hieuntg81) as a
MemoryProvider plugin instead of direct run_agent.py modifications.
ByteRover provides persistent memory via the brv CLI — a hierarchical
knowledge tree with tiered retrieval (fuzzy text then LLM-driven search).
Local-first with optional cloud sync.
Plugin capabilities:
- prefetch: background brv query for relevant context
- sync_turn: curate conversation turns (threaded, non-blocking)
- on_memory_write: mirror built-in memory writes to brv
- on_pre_compress: extract insights before context compression
Tools (3):
- brv_query: search the knowledge tree
- brv_curate: store facts/decisions/patterns
- brv_status: check CLI version and context tree state
Profile isolation: working directory at $HERMES_HOME/byterover/ (scoped
per profile). Binary resolution cached with thread-safe double-checked
locking. All write operations threaded to avoid blocking the agent
(curate can take 120s with LLM processing).
* fix(memory): thread remaining sync_turns, fix holographic, add config key
Plugin fixes:
- Hindsight: thread sync_turn (was blocking up to 30s via _run_in_thread)
- RetainDB: thread sync_turn (was blocking on HTTP POST)
- Both: shutdown now joins sync threads alongside prefetch threads
Holographic retrieval fixes:
- reason(): removed dead intersection_key computation (bundled but never
used in scoring). Now reuses pre-computed entity_residuals directly,
moved role_content encoding outside the inner loop.
- contradict(): added _MAX_CONTRADICT_FACTS=500 scaling guard. Above
500 facts, only checks the most recently updated ones to avoid O(n^2)
explosion (~125K comparisons at 500 is acceptable).
Config:
- Added memory.provider key to DEFAULT_CONFIG ("" = builtin only).
No version bump needed (deep_merge handles new keys automatically).
* feat(memory): extract Honcho as a MemoryProvider plugin
Creates plugins/honcho-memory/ as a thin adapter over the existing
honcho_integration/ package. All 4 Honcho tools (profile, search,
context, conclude) move from the normal tool registry to the
MemoryProvider interface.
The plugin delegates all work to HonchoSessionManager — no Honcho
logic is reimplemented. It uses the existing config chain:
$HERMES_HOME/honcho.json -> ~/.honcho/config.json -> env vars.
Lifecycle hooks:
- initialize: creates HonchoSessionManager via existing client factory
- prefetch: background dialectic query
- sync_turn: records messages + flushes to API (threaded)
- on_memory_write: mirrors user profile writes as conclusions
- on_session_end: flushes all pending messages
This is a prerequisite for the MemoryManager wiring in run_agent.py.
Once wired, Honcho goes through the same provider interface as all
other memory plugins, and the scattered Honcho code in run_agent.py
can be consolidated into the single MemoryManager integration point.
* feat(memory): wire MemoryManager into run_agent.py
Adds 8 integration points for the external memory provider plugin,
all purely additive (zero existing code modified):
1. Init (~L1130): Create MemoryManager, find matching plugin provider
from memory.provider config, initialize with session context
2. Tool injection (~L1160): Append provider tool schemas to self.tools
and self.valid_tool_names after memory_manager init
3. System prompt (~L2705): Add external provider's system_prompt_block
alongside existing MEMORY.md/USER.md blocks
4. Tool routing (~L5362): Route provider tool calls through
memory_manager.handle_tool_call() before the catchall handler
5. Memory write bridge (~L5353): Notify external provider via
on_memory_write() when the built-in memory tool writes
6. Pre-compress (~L5233): Call on_pre_compress() before context
compression discards messages
7. Prefetch (~L6421): Inject provider prefetch results into the
current-turn user message (same pattern as Honcho turn context)
8. Turn sync + session end (~L8161, ~L8172): sync_all() after each
completed turn, queue_prefetch_all() for next turn, on_session_end()
+ shutdown_all() at conversation end
All hooks are wrapped in try/except — a failing provider never breaks
the agent. The existing memory system, Honcho integration, and all
other code paths are completely untouched.
Full suite: 7222 passed, 4 pre-existing failures.
* refactor(memory): remove legacy Honcho integration from core
Extracts all Honcho-specific code from run_agent.py, model_tools.py,
toolsets.py, and gateway/run.py. Honcho is now exclusively available
as a memory provider plugin (plugins/honcho-memory/).
Removed from run_agent.py (-457 lines):
- Honcho init block (session manager creation, activation, config)
- 8 Honcho methods: _honcho_should_activate, _strip_honcho_tools,
_activate_honcho, _register_honcho_exit_hook, _queue_honcho_prefetch,
_honcho_prefetch, _honcho_save_user_observation, _honcho_sync
- _inject_honcho_turn_context module-level function
- Honcho system prompt block (tool descriptions, CLI commands)
- Honcho context injection in api_messages building
- Honcho params from __init__ (honcho_session_key, honcho_manager,
honcho_config)
- HONCHO_TOOL_NAMES constant
- All honcho-specific tool dispatch forwarding
Removed from other files:
- model_tools.py: honcho_tools import, honcho params from handle_function_call
- toolsets.py: honcho toolset definition, honcho tools from core tools list
- gateway/run.py: honcho params from AIAgent constructor calls
Removed tests (-339 lines):
- 9 Honcho-specific test methods from test_run_agent.py
- TestHonchoAtexitFlush class from test_exit_cleanup_interrupt.py
Restored two regex constants (_SURROGATE_RE, _BUDGET_WARNING_RE) that
were accidentally removed during the honcho function extraction.
The honcho_integration/ package is kept intact — the plugin delegates
to it. tools/honcho_tools.py registry entries are now dead code (import
commented out in model_tools.py) but the file is preserved for reference.
Full suite: 7207 passed, 4 pre-existing failures. Zero regressions.
* refactor(memory): restructure plugins, add CLI, clean gateway, migration notice
Plugin restructure:
- Move all memory plugins from plugins/<name>-memory/ to plugins/memory/<name>/
(byterover, hindsight, holographic, honcho, mem0, openviking, retaindb)
- New plugins/memory/__init__.py discovery module that scans the directory
directly, loading providers by name without the general plugin system
- run_agent.py uses load_memory_provider() instead of get_plugin_memory_providers()
CLI wiring:
- hermes memory setup — interactive curses picker + config wizard
- hermes memory status — show active provider, config, availability
- hermes memory off — disable external provider (built-in only)
- hermes honcho — now shows migration notice pointing to hermes memory setup
Gateway cleanup:
- Remove _get_or_create_gateway_honcho (already removed in prev commit)
- Remove _shutdown_gateway_honcho and _shutdown_all_gateway_honcho methods
- Remove all calls to shutdown methods (4 call sites)
- Remove _honcho_managers/_honcho_configs dict references
Dead code removal:
- Delete tools/honcho_tools.py (279 lines, import was already commented out)
- Delete tests/gateway/test_honcho_lifecycle.py (131 lines, tested removed methods)
- Remove if False placeholder from run_agent.py
Migration:
- Honcho migration notice on startup: detects existing honcho.json or
~/.honcho/config.json, prints guidance to run hermes memory setup.
Only fires when memory.provider is not set and not in quiet mode.
Full suite: 7203 passed, 4 pre-existing failures. Zero regressions.
* feat(memory): standardize plugin config + add per-plugin documentation
Config architecture:
- Add save_config(values, hermes_home) to MemoryProvider ABC
- Honcho: writes to $HERMES_HOME/honcho.json (SDK native)
- Mem0: writes to $HERMES_HOME/mem0.json
- Hindsight: writes to $HERMES_HOME/hindsight/config.json
- Holographic: writes to config.yaml under plugins.hermes-memory-store
- OpenViking/RetainDB/ByteRover: env-var only (default no-op)
Setup wizard (hermes memory setup):
- Now calls provider.save_config() for non-secret config
- Secrets still go to .env via env vars
- Only memory.provider activation key goes to config.yaml
Documentation:
- README.md for each of the 7 providers in plugins/memory/<name>/
- Requirements, setup (wizard + manual), config reference, tools table
- Consistent format across all providers
The contract for new memory plugins:
- get_config_schema() declares all fields (REQUIRED)
- save_config() writes native config (REQUIRED if not env-var-only)
- Secrets use env_var field in schema, written to .env by wizard
- README.md in the plugin directory
* docs: add memory providers user guide + developer guide
New pages:
- user-guide/features/memory-providers.md — comprehensive guide covering
all 7 shipped providers (Honcho, OpenViking, Mem0, Hindsight,
Holographic, RetainDB, ByteRover). Each with setup, config, tools,
cost, and unique features. Includes comparison table and profile
isolation notes.
- developer-guide/memory-provider-plugin.md — how to build a new memory
provider plugin. Covers ABC, required methods, config schema,
save_config, threading contract, profile isolation, testing.
Updated pages:
- user-guide/features/memory.md — replaced Honcho section with link to
new Memory Providers page
- user-guide/features/honcho.md — replaced with migration redirect to
the new Memory Providers page
- sidebars.ts — added both new pages to navigation
* fix(memory): auto-migrate Honcho users to memory provider plugin
When honcho.json or ~/.honcho/config.json exists but memory.provider
is not set, automatically set memory.provider: honcho in config.yaml
and activate the plugin. The plugin reads the same config files, so
all data and credentials are preserved. Zero user action needed.
Persists the migration to config.yaml so it only fires once. Prints
a one-line confirmation in non-quiet mode.
* fix(memory): only auto-migrate Honcho when enabled + credentialed
Check HonchoClientConfig.enabled AND (api_key OR base_url) before
auto-migrating — not just file existence. Prevents false activation
for users who disabled Honcho, stopped using it (config lingers),
or have ~/.honcho/ from a different tool.
* feat(memory): auto-install pip dependencies during hermes memory setup
Reads pip_dependencies from plugin.yaml, checks which are missing,
installs them via pip before config walkthrough. Also shows install
guidance for external_dependencies (e.g. brv CLI for ByteRover).
Updated all 7 plugin.yaml files with pip_dependencies:
- honcho: honcho-ai
- mem0: mem0ai
- openviking: httpx
- hindsight: hindsight-client
- holographic: (none)
- retaindb: requests
- byterover: (external_dependencies for brv CLI)
* fix: remove remaining Honcho crash risks from cli.py and gateway
cli.py: removed Honcho session re-mapping block (would crash importing
deleted tools/honcho_tools.py), Honcho flush on compress, Honcho
session display on startup, Honcho shutdown on exit, honcho_session_key
AIAgent param.
gateway/run.py: removed honcho_session_key params from helper methods,
sync_honcho param, _honcho.shutdown() block.
tests: fixed test_cron_session_with_honcho_key_skipped (was passing
removed honcho_key param to _flush_memories_for_session).
* fix: include plugins/ in pyproject.toml package list
Without this, plugins/memory/ wouldn't be included in non-editable
installs. Hermes always runs from the repo checkout so this is belt-
and-suspenders, but prevents breakage if the install method changes.
* fix(memory): correct pip-to-import name mapping for dep checks
The heuristic dep.replace('-', '_') fails for packages where the pip
name differs from the import name: honcho-ai→honcho, mem0ai→mem0,
hindsight-client→hindsight_client. Added explicit mapping table so
hermes memory setup doesn't try to reinstall already-installed packages.
* chore: remove dead code from old plugin memory registration path
- hermes_cli/plugins.py: removed register_memory_provider(),
_memory_providers list, get_plugin_memory_providers() — memory
providers now use plugins/memory/ discovery, not the general plugin system
- hermes_cli/main.py: stripped 74 lines of dead honcho argparse
subparsers (setup, status, sessions, map, peer, mode, tokens,
identity, migrate) — kept only the migration redirect
- agent/memory_provider.py: updated docstring to reflect new
registration path
- tests: replaced TestPluginMemoryProviderRegistration with
TestPluginMemoryDiscovery that tests the actual plugins/memory/
discovery system. Added 3 new tests (discover, load, nonexistent).
* chore: delete dead honcho_integration/cli.py and its tests
cli.py (794 lines) was the old 'hermes honcho' command handler — nobody
calls it since cmd_honcho was replaced with a migration redirect.
Deleted tests that imported from removed code:
- tests/honcho_integration/test_cli.py (tested _resolve_api_key)
- tests/honcho_integration/test_config_isolation.py (tested CLI config paths)
- tests/tools/test_honcho_tools.py (tested the deleted tools/honcho_tools.py)
Remaining honcho_integration/ files (actively used by the plugin):
- client.py (445 lines) — config loading, SDK client creation
- session.py (991 lines) — session management, queries, flush
* refactor: move honcho_integration/ into the honcho plugin
Moves client.py (445 lines) and session.py (991 lines) from the
top-level honcho_integration/ package into plugins/memory/honcho/.
No Honcho code remains in the main codebase.
- plugins/memory/honcho/client.py — config loading, SDK client creation
- plugins/memory/honcho/session.py — session management, queries, flush
- Updated all imports: run_agent.py (auto-migration), hermes_cli/doctor.py,
plugin __init__.py, session.py cross-import, all tests
- Removed honcho_integration/ package and pyproject.toml entry
- Renamed tests/honcho_integration/ → tests/honcho_plugin/
* docs: update architecture + gateway-internals for memory provider system
- architecture.md: replaced honcho_integration/ with plugins/memory/
- gateway-internals.md: replaced Honcho-specific session routing and
flush lifecycle docs with generic memory provider interface docs
* fix: update stale mock path for resolve_active_host after honcho plugin migration
* fix(memory): address review feedback — P0 lifecycle, ABC contract, honcho CLI restore
Review feedback from Honcho devs (erosika):
P0 — Provider lifecycle:
- Remove on_session_end() + shutdown_all() from run_conversation() tail
(was killing providers after every turn in multi-turn sessions)
- Add shutdown_memory_provider() method on AIAgent for callers
- Wire shutdown into CLI atexit, reset_conversation, gateway stop/expiry
Bug fixes:
- Remove sync_honcho=False kwarg from /btw callsites (TypeError crash)
- Fix doctor.py references to dead 'hermes honcho setup' command
- Cache prefetch_all() before tool loop (was re-calling every iteration)
ABC contract hardening (all backwards-compatible):
- Add session_id kwarg to prefetch/sync_turn/queue_prefetch
- Make on_pre_compress() return str (provider insights in compression)
- Add **kwargs to on_turn_start() for runtime context
- Add on_delegation() hook for parent-side subagent observation
- Document agent_context/agent_identity/agent_workspace kwargs on
initialize() (prevents cron corruption, enables profile scoping)
- Fix docstring: single external provider, not multiple
Honcho CLI restoration:
- Add plugins/memory/honcho/cli.py (from main's honcho_integration/cli.py
with imports adapted to plugin path)
- Restore full hermes honcho command with all subcommands (status, peer,
mode, tokens, identity, enable/disable, sync, peers, --target-profile)
- Restore auto-clone on profile creation + sync on hermes update
- hermes honcho setup now redirects to hermes memory setup
* fix(memory): wire on_delegation, skip_memory for cron/flush, fix ByteRover return type
- Wire on_delegation() in delegate_tool.py — parent's memory provider
is notified with task+result after each subagent completes
- Add skip_memory=True to cron scheduler (prevents cron system prompts
from corrupting user representations — closes#4052)
- Add skip_memory=True to gateway flush agent (throwaway agent shouldn't
activate memory provider)
- Fix ByteRover on_pre_compress() return type: None -> str
* fix(honcho): port profile isolation fixes from PR #4632
Ports 5 bug fixes found during profile testing (erosika's PR #4632):
1. 3-tier config resolution — resolve_config_path() now checks
$HERMES_HOME/honcho.json → ~/.hermes/honcho.json → ~/.honcho/config.json
(non-default profiles couldn't find shared host blocks)
2. Thread host=_host_key() through from_global_config() in cmd_setup,
cmd_status, cmd_identity (--target-profile was being ignored)
3. Use bare profile name as aiPeer (not host key with dots) — Honcho's
peer ID pattern is ^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$, dots are invalid
4. Wrap add_peers() in try/except — was fatal on new AI peers, killed
all message uploads for the session
5. Gate Honcho clone behind --clone/--clone-all on profile create
(bare create should be blank-slate)
Also: sanitize assistant_peer_id via _sanitize_id()
* fix(tests): add module cleanup fixture to test_cli_provider_resolution
test_cli_provider_resolution._import_cli() wipes tools.*, cli, and
run_agent from sys.modules to force fresh imports, but had no cleanup.
This poisoned all subsequent tests on the same xdist worker — mocks
targeting tools.file_tools, tools.send_message_tool, etc. patched the
NEW module object while already-imported functions still referenced
the OLD one. Caused ~25 cascade failures: send_message KeyError,
process_registry FileNotFoundError, file_read_guards timeouts,
read_loop_detection file-not-found, mcp_oauth None port, and
provider_parity/codex_execution stale tool lists.
Fix: autouse fixture saves all affected modules before each test and
restores them after, matching the pattern in
test_managed_browserbase_and_modal.py.
The gateway's dangerous command approval system was fundamentally broken:
the agent loop continued running after a command was flagged, and the
approval request only reached the user after the agent finished its
entire conversation loop. By then the context was lost.
This change makes the gateway approval mirror the CLI's synchronous
behavior. When a dangerous command is detected:
1. The agent thread blocks on a threading.Event
2. The approval request is sent to the user immediately
3. The user responds with /approve or /deny
4. The event is signaled and the agent resumes with the real result
The agent never sees 'approval_required' as a tool result. It either
gets the command output (approved) or a definitive BLOCKED message
(denied/timed out) — same as CLI mode.
Queue-based design supports multiple concurrent approvals (parallel
subagents via delegate_task, execute_code RPC handlers). Each approval
gets its own _ApprovalEntry with its own threading.Event. /approve
resolves the oldest (FIFO); /approve all resolves all at once.
Changes:
- tools/approval.py: Queue-based per-session blocking gateway approval
(register/unregister callbacks, resolve with FIFO or all-at-once)
- gateway/run.py: Register approval callback in run_sync(), remove
post-loop pop_pending hack, /approve and /deny support 'all' flag
- tests: 21 tests including parallel subagent E2E scenarios
* fix: force-close TCP sockets on client cleanup, detect and recover dead connections
When a provider drops connections mid-stream (e.g. OpenRouter outage),
httpx's graceful close leaves sockets in CLOSE-WAIT indefinitely. These
zombie connections accumulate and can prevent recovery without restarting.
Changes:
- _force_close_tcp_sockets: walks the httpx connection pool and issues
socket.shutdown(SHUT_RDWR) + close() to force TCP RST on every socket
when a client is closed, preventing CLOSE-WAIT accumulation
- _cleanup_dead_connections: probes the primary client's pool for dead
sockets (recv MSG_PEEK), rebuilds the client if any are found
- Pre-turn health check at the start of each run_conversation call that
auto-recovers with a user-facing status message
- Primary client rebuild after stale stream detection to purge pool
- User-facing messages on streaming connection failures:
"Connection to provider dropped — Reconnecting (attempt 2/3)"
"Connection failed after 3 attempts — try again in a moment"
Made-with: Cursor
* fix: pool entry missing base_url for openrouter, clean error messages
- _resolve_runtime_from_pool_entry: add OPENROUTER_BASE_URL fallback
when pool entry has no runtime_base_url (pool entries from auth.json
credential_pool often omit base_url)
- Replace Rich console.print for auth errors with plain print() to
prevent ANSI escape code mangling through prompt_toolkit's stdout patch
- Force-close TCP sockets on client cleanup to prevent CLOSE-WAIT
accumulation after provider outages
- Pre-turn dead connection detection with auto-recovery and user message
- Primary client rebuild after stale stream detection
- User-facing status messages on streaming connection failures/retries
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(gateway): persist memory flush state to prevent redundant re-flushes on restart
The _session_expiry_watcher tracked flushed sessions in an in-memory set
(_pre_flushed_sessions) that was lost on gateway restart. Expired sessions
remained in sessions.json and were re-discovered every restart, causing
redundant AIAgent runs that burned API credits and blocked the event loop.
Fix: Add a memory_flushed boolean field to SessionEntry, persisted in
sessions.json. The watcher sets it after a successful flush. On restart,
the flag survives and the watcher skips already-flushed sessions.
- Add memory_flushed field to SessionEntry with to_dict/from_dict support
- Old sessions.json entries without the field default to False (backward compat)
- Remove the ephemeral _pre_flushed_sessions set from SessionStore
- Update tests: save/load roundtrip, legacy entry compat, auto-reset behavior
Reuse a single SessionDB across requests by caching on self._session_db
with lazy initialization. Avoids creating a new SQLite connection per
request when X-Hermes-Session-Id is used. Updated tests to set
adapter._session_db directly instead of patching the constructor.
Allow callers to pass X-Hermes-Session-Id in request headers to continue
an existing conversation. When provided, history is loaded from SessionDB
instead of the request body, and the session_id is echoed in the response
header. Without the header, existing behavior is preserved (new uuid per
request).
This enables web UI clients to maintain thread continuity without modifying
any session state themselves — the same mechanism the gateway uses for IM
platforms (Telegram, Discord, etc.).
When a dangerous command was blocked and the user approved it via /approve,
the command was executed but the agent loop had already exited — the agent
never received the command output and the task died silently.
Now _handle_approve_command sends immediate feedback to the user, then
creates a synthetic continuation message with the command output and feeds
it through _handle_message so the agent picks up where it left off.
- Send command result to chat immediately via adapter.send()
- Create synthetic MessageEvent with command + output as context
- Spawn asyncio task to re-invoke agent via _handle_message
- Return None (feedback already sent directly)
- Add test for agent re-invocation after approval
- Update existing approval tests for new return behavior
* docs: clarify WhatsApp allowlist behavior and document WHATSAPP_ALLOW_ALL_USERS
- Add WHATSAPP_ALLOW_ALL_USERS and WHATSAPP_DEBUG to env vars reference
- Warn that * is not a wildcard and silently blocks all messages
- Show WHATSAPP_ALLOWED_USERS as optional, not required
- Update troubleshooting with the * trap and debug mode tip
- Fix Security section to mention the allow-all alternative
Prompted by a user report in Discord where WHATSAPP_ALLOWED_USERS=*
caused all incoming messages to be silently dropped at the bridge level.
* feat: support * wildcard in platform allowlists
Follow the precedent set by SIGNAL_GROUP_ALLOWED_USERS which already
supports * as an allow-all wildcard.
Bridge (allowlist.js): matchesAllowedUser() now checks for * in the
allowedUsers set before iterating sender aliases.
Gateway (run.py): _is_authorized() checks for * in allowed_ids after
parsing the allowlist. This is generic — works for all platforms, not
just WhatsApp.
Updated docs to document * as a supported value instead of warning
against it. Added WHATSAPP_ALLOW_ALL_USERS and WHATSAPP_DEBUG to
the env vars reference.
Tests: JS allowlist test + 2 Python gateway tests (WhatsApp + Telegram
to verify cross-platform behavior).
Adds a 'reactions' key under the discord config section (default: true).
When set to false, the bot no longer adds 👀/✅/❌ reactions to messages
during processing. The config maps to DISCORD_REACTIONS env var following
the same pattern as require_mention and auto_thread.
Files changed:
- hermes_cli/config.py: Add reactions default to DEFAULT_CONFIG
- gateway/config.py: Map discord.reactions to DISCORD_REACTIONS env var
- gateway/platforms/discord.py: Gate on_processing_start/complete hooks
- tests/gateway/test_discord_reactions.py: 3 new tests for config gate
Salvaged from PR #4024 by @Sertug17. Fixes#4017.
- Replace systemd-run --user --scope with setsid for portable session detach
- Add system-level service detection to cmd_update gateway restart
- Falls back to start_new_session=True on systems without setsid (macOS, minimal containers)
Auto-compression still runs silently in the background with server-side
logging, but no longer sends messages to the user's chat about it.
Removed:
- 'Session is large... Auto-compressing' pre-compression notification
- 'Compressed: N → M messages' post-compression notification
- 'Session is still very large after compression' warning
- 'Auto-compression failed' warning
- Rate-limit tracking (only existed for these warnings)
Wire the existing tool_progress_callback through the API server's
streaming handler so Open WebUI users see what tool is running.
Uses the existing 3-arg callback signature (name, preview, args)
that fires at tool start — no changes to run_agent.py needed.
Progress appears as inline markdown in the SSE content stream.
Inspired by PR #4032 by sroecker, reimplemented to avoid breaking
the callback signature used by CLI and gateway consumers.
When the Matrix adapter receives encrypted events it can't decrypt
(MegolmEvent), it now:
1. Requests the missing room key from other devices via
client.request_room_key(event) instead of silently dropping the message
2. Buffers undecrypted events (bounded to 100, 5 min TTL) and retries
decryption after each E2EE maintenance cycle when new keys arrive
3. Auto-trusts/verifies all devices after key queries so other clients
share session keys with the bot proactively
4. Exports Megolm keys on disconnect and imports them on connect, so
session keys survive gateway restarts
This addresses the 'could not decrypt event' warnings that caused the
bot to miss messages in encrypted rooms.
* fix: rate-limit pairing rejection messages to prevent spam
When generate_code() returns None (rate limited or max pending), the
"Too many pairing requests" message was sent on every subsequent DM
with no cooldown. A user sending 30 messages would get 30 rejection
replies — reported as potential hack on WhatsApp.
Now check _is_rate_limited() before any pairing response, and record
rate limit after sending a rejection. Subsequent messages from the
same user are silently ignored until the rate limit window expires.
* test: add coverage for pairing response rate limiting
Follow-up to cherry-picked PR #4042 — adds tests verifying:
- Rate-limited users get silently ignored (no response sent)
- Rejection messages record rate limit for subsequent suppression

* feat: add /yolo slash command to toggle dangerous command approvals
Adds a /yolo command that toggles HERMES_YOLO_MODE at runtime, skipping
all dangerous command approval prompts for the current session. Works in
both CLI and gateway (Telegram, Discord, etc.).
- /yolo -> ON: all commands auto-approved, no confirmation prompts
- /yolo -> OFF: normal approval flow restored
The --yolo CLI flag already existed for launch-time opt-in. This adds
the ability to toggle mid-session without restarting.
Session-scoped — resets when the process ends. Uses the existing
HERMES_YOLO_MODE env var that check_all_command_guards() already
respects.
* fix: prevent context pressure warning spam (agent loop + gateway rate-limit)
Two complementary fixes for repeated context pressure warnings spamming
gateway users (Telegram, Discord, etc.):
1. Agent-level loop fix (run_agent.py):
After compression, only reset _context_pressure_warned if the
post-compression estimate is actually below the 85% warning level.
Previously the flag was unconditionally reset, causing the warning
to re-fire every loop iteration when compression couldn't reduce
below 85% of the threshold (e.g. very low threshold like 15%,
or system prompt alone exceeds the warning level).
2. Gateway-level rate-limit (gateway/run.py, salvaged from PR #3786):
Per-chat_id cooldown of 1 hour on compression warning messages.
Both warning paths ('still large after compression' and 'compression
failed') are gated. Defense-in-depth — even if the agent-level fix
has edge cases, users won't see more than one warning per hour.

1. matrix voice: _on_room_message_media unconditionally overwrote
media_urls with the image cache path (always None for non-images),
wiping the locally-cached voice path. Now only overrides when
cached_path is truthy.
2. cli_tools_command: /tools disable no longer prompts for confirmation
(input() removed in earlier commit to fix TUI hang), but tests still
expected the old Y/N prompt flow. Updated tests to match current
behavior (direct apply + session reset).
3. slack app_mention: connect() was refactored for multi-workspace
(creates AsyncWebClient per token), but test only mocked the old
self._app.client path. Added AsyncWebClient and acquire_scoped_lock
mocks.
4. website_policy: module-level _cached_policy from earlier tests caused
fast-path return of None. Added invalidate_cache() before assertion.
5. codex 401 refresh: already passing on current main (fixed by
intervening commit).

Adds lifecycle hooks to the base platform adapter so Discord (and future
platforms) can react to message processing events:
👀 when processing starts
✅ on successful completion (delivery confirmed)
❌ on failure, error, or cancellation
Implementation:
- base.py: on_processing_start/on_processing_complete hooks with
_run_processing_hook error isolation wrapper; delivery tracking
via _record_delivery closure for accurate success detection
- discord.py: _add_reaction/_remove_reaction helpers + hook overrides
- Tests for base hook lifecycle and Discord-specific reactions

Adds Discord-style mention gating for Telegram groups:
- telegram.require_mention: gate group messages (default: false)
- telegram.mention_patterns: regex wake-word triggers
- telegram.free_response_chats: bypass gating for specific chats
When require_mention is enabled, group messages are accepted only for:
- slash commands
- replies to the bot
- @botusername mentions
- regex wake-word pattern matches
DMs remain unrestricted. @mention text is stripped before passing to
the agent. Invalid regex patterns are ignored with a warning.
Config bridges follow the existing Discord pattern (yaml → env vars).
Cherry-picked and adapted from PR #1977 by mcleay. Fixed ChatType
comparison to work without python-telegram-bot installed (uses string
matching instead of enum, consistent with other entity_type checks).

Adds WeCom as a gateway platform adapter using the AI Bot WebSocket
gateway for real-time bidirectional communication. No public endpoint
or new pip dependencies needed (uses existing aiohttp + httpx).
Features:
- WebSocket persistent connection with auto-reconnect (exponential backoff)
- DM and group messaging with configurable access policies
- Media upload/download with AES decryption for encrypted attachments
- Markdown rendering, quote context preservation
- Proactive + passive reply message modes
- Chunked media upload pipeline (512KB chunks)
Cherry-picked from PR #1898 by EvilRan with:
- Moved to current main (PR was 300 commits behind)
- Skipped base.py regressions (reply_to additions are good but belong
in a separate PR since they affect all platforms)
- Fixed test assertions to match current base class send() signature
(reply_to=None kwarg now explicit)
- All 16 integration points added surgically to current main
- No new pip dependencies (aiohttp + httpx already installed)
Fixes#1898

test_hooks.py (7 failures): Built-in boot-md hook was always loaded
by _register_builtin_hooks(), adding +1 to every expected hook count.
Mock out built-in registration in TestDiscoverAndLoad so tests isolate
user-hook discovery logic.
test_tool_token_estimation.py (2 failures): tiktoken is not in
core/[all] dependencies. The estimation function gracefully returns {}
when tiktoken is missing, but tests expected non-empty results. Added
skipif markers for tests that need tiktoken.
test_plugins_cmd.py (1 failure): bare 'hermes plugins' now dispatches
to cmd_toggle() (interactive curses UI) instead of cmd_list(). Updated
test to match the new behavior.
WhatsApp DMs can arrive with LID sender IDs even when
WHATSAPP_ALLOWED_USERS is configured with phone numbers. The allowlist
check now reads bridge session mapping files (lid-mapping-*.json) to
resolve phone↔LID aliases, matching users regardless of which
identifier format the message uses.
Both the Python gateway (_is_user_authorized) and the Node bridge
(allowlist.js) now share the same mapping-file-based resolution logic.

Adds Feishu (ByteDance's enterprise messaging platform) as a gateway
platform adapter with full feature parity: WebSocket + webhook transports,
message batching, dedup, rate limiting, rich post/card content parsing,
media handling (images/audio/files/video), group @mention gating,
reaction routing, and interactive card button support.
Cherry-picked from PR #1793 by penwyp with:
- Moved to current main (PR was 458 commits behind)
- Fixed _send_with_retry shadowing BasePlatformAdapter method (renamed to
_feishu_send_with_retry to avoid signature mismatch crash)
- Fixed import structure: aiohttp/websockets imported independently of
lark_oapi so they remain available when SDK is missing
- Fixed get_hermes_home import (hermes_constants, not hermes_cli.config)
- Added skip decorators for tests requiring lark_oapi SDK
- All 16 integration points added surgically to current main
New dependency: lark-oapi>=1.5.3,<2 (optional, pip install hermes-agent[feishu])

Replace per-request aiohttp.ClientSession() in every WhatsApp adapter
method with a single persistent self._http_session, matching the pattern
used by Mattermost, HomeAssistant, and SMS adapters.
Changes:
- Create self._http_session in connect(), close in disconnect()
- All bridge HTTP calls (send, edit, send-media, typing, get_chat_info,
poll_messages) now use the shared session
- Explicitly cancel _poll_task on disconnect() instead of relying
solely on self._running = False
- Health-check sessions in connect() remain ephemeral (persistent
session not yet created at that point)
- Remove per-method ImportError guards for aiohttp (always available
when gateway runs via [messaging] extras)
Salvaged from PR #1851 by Himess. The _poll_task storage was already
on main from PR #3267; this adds the disconnect cancellation and the
persistent session.
Tests: 4 new tests for session close, already-closed skip, poll task
cancellation, and done-task skip.
Home channel env vars (SLACK_HOME_CHANNEL, SIGNAL_HOME_CHANNEL, etc.)
for Slack, Signal, Mattermost, Matrix, Email, and SMS were nested
inside the credential-env blocks, so they were ignored when the
platform was already configured via config.yaml.
Moved the home channel handling outside the credential blocks with a
Platform.X in config.platforms guard, matching the existing pattern
for Telegram and Discord.

SMTP connections in _send_email() and _send_email_with_attachment() leak
when login() or send_message() raises before quit() is reached. Both now
wrapped in try/finally with a close() fallback if quit() also fails.
IMAP connection in _fetch_new_messages() leaks when UID processing raises,
since logout() sits after the loop. Restructured with try/finally so
logout() runs unconditionally.

Fixes two Signal bugs:
1. SSE connection: URL-encode phone numbers so + isn't interpreted as space (400 Bad Request)
2. Attachment fetch: use 'id' parameter instead of 'attachmentId' (NullPointerException in signal-cli)
Also refactors Signal tests with shared helpers.
Adds MATTERMOST_REQUIRE_MENTION and MATTERMOST_FREE_RESPONSE_CHANNELS
env vars, matching Discord's existing mention gating pattern.
- MATTERMOST_REQUIRE_MENTION=false: respond to all channel messages
- MATTERMOST_FREE_RESPONSE_CHANNELS=id1,id2: specific channels where
bot responds without @mention even when require_mention is true
- DMs always respond regardless of mention settings
- @mention is now stripped from message text (clean agent input)
7 new tests for mention gating, free-response channels, DM bypass,
and mention stripping. Updated existing test for mention stripping.
Docs: updated mattermost.md with Mention Behavior section,
environment-variables.md with new vars, config.py with metadata.
PR #3323 added retry with exponential backoff to cache_image_from_url
but missed the sibling function cache_audio_from_url 18 lines below in
the same file. A single transient 429/5xx/timeout loses voice messages
while image downloads now survive them.
Apply the same retry pattern: 3 attempts with 1.5s exponential backoff,
immediate raise on non-retryable 4xx.
Adds 'hermes webhook' CLI subcommand and a skill — zero new model tools.
CLI commands (require webhook platform to be enabled):
hermes webhook subscribe <name> [--events, --prompt, --deliver, ...]
hermes webhook list
hermes webhook remove <name>
hermes webhook test <name>
All commands gate on webhook platform being enabled in config. If not
configured, prints setup instructions (gateway setup wizard, manual
config.yaml, or env vars).
The agent uses these via terminal tool, guided by the webhook-subscriptions
skill which documents setup, common patterns (GitHub, Stripe, CI/CD,
monitoring), prompt template syntax, security, and troubleshooting.
Adapter enhancement: webhook.py hot-reloads dynamic subscriptions from
~/.hermes/webhook_subscriptions.json on each incoming request (mtime-gated).
Static config.yaml routes always take precedence.
Docs: updated webhooks.md with Dynamic Subscriptions section, added
hermes webhook to cli-commands.md reference.
No new model tools. No toolset changes.
24 new tests for CLI CRUD, persistence, enabled-gate, and adapter
dynamic route loading.
When all messaging platforms exhaust retries and get queued for background
reconnection, exit with code 1 so systemd Restart=on-failure can restart
the process. Previously the gateway stayed alive as a zombie with no
connected platforms and exit code 0.

* feat: GPT tool-use steering + strip budget warnings from history
Two changes to improve tool reliability, especially for OpenAI GPT models:
1. GPT tool-use enforcement prompt: Adds GPT_TOOL_USE_GUIDANCE to the
system prompt when the model name contains 'gpt' and tools are loaded.
This addresses a known behavioral pattern where GPT models describe
intended actions ('I will run the tests') instead of actually making
tool calls. Inspired by similar steering in OpenCode (beast.txt) and
Cline (GPT-5.1 variant).
2. Budget warning history stripping: Budget pressure warnings injected by
_get_budget_warning() into tool results are now stripped when
conversation history is replayed via run_conversation(). Previously,
these turn-scoped signals persisted across turns, causing models to
avoid tool calls in all subsequent messages after any turn that hit
the 70-90% iteration threshold.
* fix: replace hardcoded ~/.hermes paths with get_hermes_home() for profile support
Prep for the upcoming profiles feature — each profile is a separate
HERMES_HOME directory, so all paths must respect the env var.
Fixes:
- gateway/platforms/matrix.py: Matrix E2EE store was hardcoded to
~/.hermes/matrix/store, ignoring HERMES_HOME. Now uses
get_hermes_home() so each profile gets its own Matrix state.
- gateway/platforms/telegram.py: Two locations reading config.yaml via
Path.home()/.hermes instead of get_hermes_home(). DM topic thread_id
persistence and hot-reload would read the wrong config in a profile.
- tools/file_tools.py: Security path for hub index blocking was
hardcoded to ~/.hermes, would miss the actual profile's hub cache.
- hermes_cli/gateway.py: Service naming now uses the profile name
(hermes-gateway-coder) instead of a cryptic hash suffix. Extracted
_profile_suffix() helper shared by systemd and launchd.
- hermes_cli/gateway.py: Launchd plist path and Label now scoped per
profile (ai.hermes.gateway-coder.plist). Previously all profiles
would collide on the same plist file on macOS.
- hermes_cli/gateway.py: Launchd plist now includes HERMES_HOME in
EnvironmentVariables — was missing entirely, making custom
HERMES_HOME broken on macOS launchd (pre-existing bug).
- All launchctl commands in gateway.py, main.py, status.py updated
to use get_launchd_label() instead of hardcoded string.
Test fixes: DM topic tests now set HERMES_HOME env var alongside
Path.home() mock. Launchd test uses get_launchd_label() for expected
commands.
Add GET /v1/health as an alias to the existing /health endpoint so
OpenAI-compatible health checks work out of the box.

* fix(gateway): preserve full transcript on /compress instead of overwriting
The /compress command calls _compress_context() which correctly ends the
old session (preserving its full transcript in SQLite) and creates a new
session_id for the continuation. However, it then immediately called
rewrite_transcript() on the OLD session_id, overwriting the preserved
transcript with the compressed version — destroying searchable history.
Auto-compression (triggered by context pressure) does not have this bug
because the gateway already handles the session_id swap via the
agent.session_id != session_id check after _run_agent_sync.
Fix: after _compress_context creates the new session, write the compressed
messages into the NEW session_id and update the session store pointer.
The old session's full transcript stays intact and searchable via
session_search.
Before: /compress destroys original messages, session_search can't find
details from compressed portions.
After: /compress behaves like /new for history — full transcript preserved,
compressed context for the live session.
* fix(gateway): preserve transcript on /compress and hygiene compression
Apply session_id swap after _compress_context in both /compress handler
and hygiene pre-compression. _compress_context creates a new session
(ending the old one), but both paths were calling rewrite_transcript on
the OLD session_id — overwriting the preserved transcript and destroying
searchable history.
Now follows the same pattern as the auto-compression handler (lines
5415-5423): detect the new session_id, update the session store entry,
and write compressed messages to the new session.
Also fix FakeCompressAgent test mock to include session_id attribute
and simulate the session_id change that real _compress_context performs.

Salvage of #3399 by @binhnt92 with true agent interruption added on top.
When a streaming /v1/chat/completions client disconnects mid-stream, the agent is now interrupted via agent.interrupt() so it stops making LLM API calls, and the asyncio task wrapper is cancelled.
Closes#3399.
python-telegram-bot's BadRequest inherits from NetworkError, so the
send() retry loop was catching 'Message thread not found' as a transient
network error and retrying 3 times before silently failing. This killed
all tool progress messages, streaming responses, and typing indicators
when the incoming message carried an invalid message_thread_id.
Now detect BadRequest inside the NetworkError handler:
- 'thread not found' + thread_id set → clear thread_id and retry once
(message still reaches the chat, just without topic threading)
- Other BadRequest errors → raise immediately (permanent, don't retry)
- True NetworkError → retry as before (transient)
252 silent failures in gateway.log traced to this on 2026-03-26.
5 new tests for thread fallback, non-thread BadRequest, no-thread sends,
network retry, and multi-chunk fallback.
* feat(telegram): auto-discover fallback IPs via DoH when api.telegram.org is unreachable
On some networks (university, corporate), api.telegram.org resolves to a
valid Telegram IP that is unreachable due to routing/firewall rules. A
different IP in the same Telegram-owned 149.154.160.0/20 block works fine.
This adds automatic fallback IP discovery at connect time:
1. Query Google and Cloudflare DNS-over-HTTPS for api.telegram.org A records
2. Exclude the system-DNS IP (the unreachable one), use the rest as fallbacks
3. If DoH is also blocked, fall back to a seed list (149.154.167.220)
4. TelegramFallbackTransport tries primary first, sticks to whichever works
No configuration needed — works automatically. TELEGRAM_FALLBACK_IPS env var
still available as manual override. Zero impact on healthy networks (primary
path succeeds on first attempt, fallback never exercised).
No new dependencies (uses httpx already in deps + stdlib socket).
* fix: share transport instance and downgrade seed fallback log to info
- Use single TelegramFallbackTransport shared between request and
get_updates_request so sticky IP is shared across polling and API calls
- Keep separate HTTPXRequest instances (different timeout settings)
- Downgrade "using seed fallback IPs" from warning to info to avoid
noisy logs on healthy networks
* fix: add telegram.request mock and discovery fixture to remaining test files
The original PR missed test_dm_topics.py and
test_telegram_network_reconnect.py — both need the telegram.request
mock module. The reconnect test also needs _no_auto_discovery since
_handle_polling_network_error calls connect() which now invokes
discover_fallback_ips().

When a new session starts in the gateway (via /new, /reset, or
auto-reset), send the user a summary of the detected configuration:
✨ Session reset! Starting fresh.
◆ Model: qwen3.5:27b-q4_K_M
◆ Provider: custom
◆ Context: 8K tokens (config)
◆ Endpoint: http://localhost:11434/v1
This makes misconfigured context length immediately visible — a user
running a local 8K model that falls to the 128K default will see:
◆ Context: 128K tokens (default — set model.context_length in config to override)
Instead of silently getting no compression and degrading responses.
- _format_session_info() resolves model, provider, context length,
and endpoint from config + runtime, matching the hygiene code's
resolution chain
- Local/custom endpoints shown; cloud endpoints hidden (not useful)
- Context source annotated: config, detected, or default with hint
- Appended to /new and /reset responses, and auto-reset notifications
- 9 tests covering all formatting paths and failure resilience
Addresses the user-facing side of #2708 — instead of trying to fix
every edge case in context detection, surface the values so users
can immediately see when something is wrong.
The gateway's update_session() used += for token counts, but the cached
agent's session_prompt_tokens / session_completion_tokens are cumulative
totals that grow across messages. Each update_session call re-added the
running total, inflating usage stats with every message (1.7x after 3
messages, worse over longer conversations).
Fix: change += to = for in-memory entry fields, add set_token_counts()
to SessionDB that uses direct assignment instead of SQL increment, and
switch the gateway to call it.
CLI mode continues using update_token_counts() (increment) since it
tracks per-API-call deltas — that path is unchanged.
Based on analysis from PR #3222 by @zaycruz (closed).

The cached agent accumulates session_input_tokens across messages, so
run_conversation() returns cumulative totals. But update_session() used
+= (increment), double-counting on every message after the first.
- session.py: change in-memory entry updates from += to = (direct
assignment for cumulative values)
- hermes_state.py: add absolute=True flag to update_token_counts()
that uses SET column = ? instead of SET column = column + ?
- session.py: pass absolute=True to the DB call
CLI path is unchanged — it passes per-API-call deltas directly to
update_token_counts() with the default absolute=False (increment).
Reported by @zaycruz in #3222. Closes#3222.
The startup warning 'No user allowlists configured' only checked
GATEWAY_ALLOW_ALL_USERS and per-platform _ALLOWED_USERS vars. It
missed SIGNAL_GROUP_ALLOWED_USERS and per-platform _ALLOW_ALL_USERS
vars (e.g. TELEGRAM_ALLOW_ALL_USERS), causing a false warning even
when users had these configured. The actual auth check in
_is_user_authorized already recognized these vars.

- api_server.py: Resolve toolsets from config.yaml platform_toolsets
via _get_platform_tools() — same path as all other gateway platforms.
Falls back to hermes-api-server default when no override configured.

* fix(gateway): silence flush agent terminal output
quiet_mode=True only suppresses AIAgent init messages.
Tool call output still leaks to the terminal through
_safe_print → _print_fn during session reset/expiry.
Since #2670 injected live memory state into the flush prompt,
the flush agent now reliably calls memory tools — making the
output leak noticeable for the first time.
Set _print_fn to a no-op so the background flush is fully silent.
* test(gateway): add test for flush agent terminal silence + fix dotenv mock
- Add TestFlushAgentSilenced: verifies _print_fn is set to a no-op on
the flush agent so tool output never leaks to the terminal
- Fix pre-existing test failures: replace patch('run_agent.AIAgent')
with sys.modules mock to avoid importing run_agent (requires openai)
- Add autouse _mock_dotenv fixture so all tests in this file run
without the dotenv package installed
* fix(display): route KawaiiSpinner output through print_fn to fully silence flush agent
The previous fix set tmp_agent._print_fn = no-op on the flush agent but
spinner output and quiet-mode cute messages bypassed _print_fn entirely:
- KawaiiSpinner captured sys.stdout at __init__ and wrote directly to it
- quiet-mode tool results used builtin print() instead of _safe_print()
Add optional print_fn parameter to KawaiiSpinner.__init__; _write routes
through it when set. Pass self._print_fn to all spinner construction sites
in run_agent.py and change the quiet-mode cute message print to _safe_print.
The existing gateway fix (tmp_agent._print_fn = lambda) now propagates
correctly through both paths.

Apply the same _print_fn no-op pattern used for the flush agent.

When send() fails due to a network error (ConnectError, ReadTimeout, etc.),
the failure was silently logged and the user received no feedback — appearing
as a hang. In one reported case, a user waited 1+ hour for a response that
had already been generated but failed to deliver (#2910).
Adds _send_with_retry() to BasePlatformAdapter:
- Transient errors: retry up to 2x with exponential backoff + jitter
- On exhaustion: send delivery-failure notice so user knows to retry
- Permanent errors: fall back to plain-text version (preserves existing behavior)
- SendResult.retryable flag for platform-specific transient errors
All adapters benefit automatically via BasePlatformAdapter inheritance.

After a Telegram 502, _handle_polling_network_error calls updater.stop()
then start_polling(). If start_polling() also raises, the old code logged
a warning and returned — but the comment 'The next network error will
trigger another attempt' was wrong. The updater loop is dead after stop(),
so no further error callbacks ever fire. The gateway stays alive but
permanently deaf to messages.
Fix: when start_polling() fails in the except branch, schedule a new
_handle_polling_network_error task to continue the exponential backoff
retry chain. The task is tracked in _background_tasks (preventing GC).
Guarded by has_fatal_error to avoid spurious retries during shutdown.

* feat: config-gated /verbose command for messaging gateway
Add gateway_config_gate field to CommandDef, allowing cli_only commands
to be conditionally available in the gateway based on a config value.
- CommandDef gains gateway_config_gate: str | None — a config dotpath
that, when truthy, overrides cli_only for gateway surfaces
- /verbose uses gateway_config_gate='display.tool_progress_command'
- Default is off (cli_only behavior preserved)
- When enabled, /verbose cycles tool_progress mode (off/new/all/verbose)
in the gateway, saving to config.yaml — same cycle as the CLI
- Gateway helpers (help, telegram menus, slack mapping) dynamically
check config to include/exclude config-gated commands
- GATEWAY_KNOWN_COMMANDS always includes config-gated commands so
the gateway recognizes them and can respond appropriately
- Handles YAML 1.1 bool coercion (bare 'off' parses as False)
- 8 new tests for the config gate mechanism + gateway handler
* docs: document gateway_config_gate and /verbose messaging support
- AGENTS.md: add gateway_config_gate to CommandDef fields
- slash-commands.md: note /verbose can be enabled for messaging, update Notes
- configuration.md: add tool_progress_command to display section + usage note

* fix(session-db): survive CLI/gateway concurrent write contention
Closes#3139
Three layered fixes for the scenario where CLI and gateway write to
state.db concurrently, causing create_session() to fail with
'database is locked' and permanently disabling session_search on the
gateway side.
1. Increase SQLite connection timeout: 10s -> 30s
hermes_state.py: longer window for the WAL writer to finish a batch
flush before the other process gives up entirely.
2. INSERT OR IGNORE in create_session
hermes_state.py: prevents IntegrityError on duplicate session IDs
(e.g. gateway restarts while CLI session is still alive).
3. Don't null out _session_db on create_session failure (main fix)
run_agent.py: a transient lock at agent startup must not permanently
disable session_search for the lifetime of that agent instance.
_session_db now stays alive so subsequent flushes and searches work
once the lock clears.
4. New ensure_session() helper + call it during flush
hermes_state.py: INSERT OR IGNORE for a minimal session row.
run_agent.py _flush_messages_to_session_db: calls ensure_session()
before appending messages, so the FK constraint is satisfied even
when create_session() failed at startup. No-op when the row exists.
* fix(state): release lock between context queries in search_messages
The context-window queries (one per FTS5 match) were running inside
the same lock acquisition as the primary FTS5 query, holding the lock
for O(N) sequential SQLite round-trips. Move per-match context fetches
outside the outer lock block so each acquires the lock independently,
keeping critical sections short and allowing other threads to interleave.
* fix(session): prefer longer source in load_transcript to prevent legacy truncation
When a long-lived session pre-dates SQLite storage (e.g. sessions
created before the DB layer was introduced, or after a clean
deployment that reset the DB), _flush_messages_to_session_db only
writes the *new* messages from the current turn to SQLite — it skips
messages already present in conversation_history, assuming they are
already persisted.
That assumption fails for legacy JSONL-only sessions:
Turn N (first after DB migration):
load_transcript(id) → SQLite: 0 → falls back to JSONL: 994 ✓
_flush_messages_to_session_db: skip first 994, write 2 new → SQLite: 2
Turn N+1:
load_transcript(id) → SQLite: 2 → returns immediately ✗
Agent sees 2 messages of history instead of 996
The same pattern causes the reported symptom: session JSON truncated
to 4 messages (_save_session_log writes agent.messages which only has
2 history + 2 new = 4).
Fix: always load both sources and return whichever is longer. For a
fully-migrated session SQLite will always be ≥ JSONL, so there is no
regression. For a legacy session that hasn't been bootstrapped yet,
JSONL wins and the full history is restored.
Closes#3212
* test: add load_transcript source preference tests for #3212
Covers: JSONL longer returns JSONL, SQLite longer returns SQLite,
SQLite empty falls back to JSONL, both empty returns empty, equal
length prefers SQLite (richer reasoning fields).

Gateway sessions had their own inline toolset resolution that only read
platform_toolsets from config, which never includes MCP server names.
MCP tools were discovered and registered but invisible to the model.
- Replace duplicated gateway toolset resolution in _run_agent() and

- Extend _get_platform_tools() to include globally enabled MCP servers
at runtime (include_default_mcp_servers=True), while config-editing
flows use include_default_mcp_servers=False to avoid persisting
implicit MCP defaults into platform_toolsets
- Add homeassistant to PLATFORMS dict (was missing, caused KeyError)

Previously _agent_config_signature() used only the first 8 characters of
the API key, which causes false cache hits for JWT/OAuth tokens that share
a common prefix (e.g. 'eyJhbGci'). This led to cross-account cache
collisions when switching OAuth accounts in multi-user gateway deployments.
Replace the 8-char prefix with a SHA-256 hash of the full key so the
signature is unique per credential while keeping secrets out of the
cache key.

When an agent thread hangs (truly blocked, never checks _interrupt_requested),
/stop now force-cleans _running_agents to unlock the session immediately.
Two changes:
- Early /stop intercept in the running-agent guard: bypasses normal command
dispatch to force-interrupt and unlock the session. Follows the same pattern
as the existing /new intercept.
- Sentinel /stop: force-cleans the sentinel instead of returning 'nothing to
stop yet', so /stop during slow startup actually unlocks the session.
Follow-up improvements over original PR:
- Consolidated duplicate resolve_command imports into single early resolution
- Updated _handle_stop_command to also force-clean for consistency
- Removed 10-minute hard timeout on the executor (would kill legitimate
long-running agent tasks; the /stop force-clean handles recovery)

* fix(run_agent): ensure _fire_first_delta() is called for tool generation events
Added calls to _fire_first_delta() in the AIAgent class to improve the handling of tool generation events, ensuring timely notifications during the processing of function calls and tool usage.
* fix(run_agent): improve timeout handling for chat completions
Enhanced the timeout configuration for chat completions in the AIAgent class by introducing customizable connection, read, and write timeouts using environment variables. This ensures more robust handling of API requests during streaming operations.
* fix(run_agent): reduce default stream read timeout for chat completions
Updated the default stream read timeout from 120 seconds to 60 seconds in the AIAgent class, enhancing the timeout configuration for chat completions. This change aims to improve responsiveness during streaming operations.
* fix(run_agent): enhance streaming error handling and retry logic
Improved the error handling and retry mechanism for streaming requests in the AIAgent class. Introduced a configurable maximum number of stream retries and refined the handling of transient network errors, allowing for retries with fresh connections. Non-transient errors now trigger a fallback to non-streaming only when appropriate, ensuring better resilience during API interactions.
* fix(api_server): streaming breaks when agent makes tool calls
The agent fires stream_delta_callback(None) to signal the CLI display
to close its response box before tool execution begins. The API server's
_on_delta callback was forwarding this None directly into the SSE queue,
where the SSE writer treats it as end-of-stream and terminates the HTTP
response prematurely.
After tool calls complete, the agent streams the final answer through
the same callback, but the SSE response was already closed — so Open
WebUI (and similar frontends) never received the actual answer.
Fix: filter out None in _on_delta so the SSE stream stays open. The SSE
loop already detects completion via agent_task.done(), which handles
stream termination correctly without needing the None sentinel.

The gateway memory flush agent reviews old conversation history on session
reset/expiry and writes to memory. It had no awareness of memory changes
made after that conversation ended (by the live agent, cron jobs, or other
sessions), causing silent overwrites of newer entries.
Two fixes:
1. Skip memory flush entirely for cron sessions (session IDs starting with
'cron_'). Cron sessions are headless with no meaningful user conversation
to extract memories from.
2. Inject the current live memory state (MEMORY.md + USER.md) directly into
the flush prompt. The flush agent can now see what's already saved and
make informed decisions — only adding genuinely new information rather
than blindly overwriting entries that may have been updated since the
conversation ended.
Addresses the root cause identified in #2670: the flush agent was making
memory decisions blind to the current state of memory, causing stale
context to overwrite newer entries on gateway restarts and session resets.

When a messaging platform fails to connect at startup (e.g. transient DNS
failure) or disconnects at runtime with a retryable error, the gateway now
queues it for background reconnection instead of giving up permanently.
- New _platform_reconnect_watcher background task runs alongside the
existing session expiry watcher
- Exponential backoff: 30s, 60s, 120s, 240s, 300s cap
- Max 20 retry attempts before giving up on a platform
- Non-retryable errors (bad auth token, etc.) are not retried
- Runtime disconnections via _handle_adapter_fatal_error now queue
retryable failures instead of triggering gateway shutdown
- On successful reconnect, adapter is wired up and channel directory
is rebuilt automatically
Fixes the case where a DNS blip during gateway startup caused Telegram
and Discord to be permanently unavailable until manual restart.
The previous commit capped the 1.4x at 95% of context, but the multiplier
itself is unnecessary and confusing:
85% threshold × 1.4 = 119% of context → never fires
95% warn × 1.4 = 133% of context → never warns
The 85% hygiene threshold already provides ample headroom over the agent's
own 50% compressor. Even if rough estimates overestimate by 50%, hygiene
would fire at ~57% actual usage — safe and harmless.
Remove the multiplier entirely. Both actual and estimated token paths
now use the same 85% / 95% thresholds. Update tests and comments.
Three bugs in gateway session hygiene pre-compression caused 'Session too
large' errors for ~200K context models like GLM-5-turbo on z.ai:
1. Gateway hygiene called get_model_context_length(model) without passing
config_context_length, provider, or base_url — so user overrides like
model.context_length: 180000 were ignored, and provider-aware detection
(models.dev, z.ai endpoint) couldn't fire. The agent's own compressor
correctly passed all three (run_agent.py line 1038).
2. The 1.4x safety factor on rough token estimates pushed the compression
threshold above the model's actual context limit:
200K * 0.85 * 1.4 = 238K > 200K (model limit)
So hygiene never compressed, sessions grew past the limit, and the API
rejected the request.
3. Same issue for the warn threshold: 200K * 0.95 * 1.4 = 266K.
Fix:
- Read model.context_length, provider, and base_url from config.yaml
(same as run_agent.py does) and pass them to get_model_context_length()
- Resolve provider/base_url from runtime when not in config
- Cap the 1.4x-adjusted compress threshold at 95% of context_length
- Cap the 1.4x-adjusted warn threshold at context_length
Affects: z.ai GLM-5/GLM-5-turbo, any ~200K or smaller context model
where the 1.4x factor would push 85% above 100%.

automatically reset, send a notification to the user explaining
what happened:
◐ Session automatically reset (inactive for 24h).
Conversation history cleared.
Use /resume to browse and restore a previous session.
Adjust reset timing in config.yaml under session_reset.
Notifications are suppressed when:
- The expired session had no activity (no tokens used)
- The platform is excluded (api_server, webhook by default)
- notify: false in config
Changes:
- session.py: _should_reset() returns reason string ('idle'/'daily')
instead of bool; SessionEntry gains auto_reset_reason and
reset_had_activity fields; old entry's total_tokens checked
- config.py: SessionResetPolicy gains notify (bool, default: true)
and notify_exclude_platforms (default: api_server, webhook)
- run.py: sends notification via adapter.send() before processing
the user's message, with activity + platform checks
- 13 new tests
Config (config.yaml):
session_reset:
notify: true
notify_exclude_platforms: [api_server, webhook]
- Download and cache .pdf, .docx, .xlsx, .pptx attachments locally
instead of passing expiring CDN URLs to the agent
- Inject .txt and .md content (≤100 KB) into event.text so the agent
sees file content without needing to fetch the URL
- Add 20 MB size guard and SUPPORTED_DOCUMENT_TYPES allowlist
- Fix: unsupported types (.zip etc.) no longer get MessageType.DOCUMENT
- Add 9 unit tests in test_discord_document_handling.py
Mirrors the Slack implementation from PR #784. Discord CDN URLs are
publicly accessible so no auth header is needed (unlike Slack).

* fix: respect DashScope v1 runtime mode for alibaba
Remove the hardcoded Alibaba branch from resolve_runtime_provider()
that forced api_mode='anthropic_messages' regardless of the base URL.
Alibaba now goes through the generic API-key provider path, which
auto-detects the protocol from the URL:
- /apps/anthropic → anthropic_messages (via endswith check)
- /v1 → chat_completions (default)
This fixes Alibaba setup with OpenAI-compatible DashScope endpoints
(e.g. coding-intl.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/v1) that were broken because
runtime always forced Anthropic mode even when setup saved a /v1 URL.
Based on PR #2024 by @kshitijk4poor.
* docs(skill): add split, merge, search examples to ocr-and-documents skill
Adds pymupdf examples for PDF splitting, merging, and text search
to the existing ocr-and-documents skill. No new dependencies — pymupdf
already covers all three operations natively.
* fix: replace all production print() calls with logger in rl_training_tool
Replace all bare print() calls in production code paths with proper logger calls.
- Add `import logging` and module-level `logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)`
- Replace print() in _start_training_run() with logger.info()
- Replace print() in _stop_training_run() with logger.info()
- Replace print(Warning/Note) calls with logger.warning() and logger.info()
Using the logging framework allows log level filtering, proper formatting,
and log routing instead of always printing to stdout.
* fix(gateway): process /queue'd messages after agent completion
/queue stored messages in adapter._pending_messages but never consumed
them after normal (non-interrupted) completion. The consumption path
at line 5219 only checked pending messages when result.get('interrupted')
was True — since /queue deliberately doesn't interrupt, queued messages
were silently dropped.
Now checks adapter._pending_messages after both interrupted AND normal
completion. For queued messages (non-interrupt), the first response is
delivered before recursing to process the queued follow-up. Skips the
direct send when streaming already delivered the response.

The /v1/responses endpoint used an in-memory OrderedDict that lost
all conversation state on gateway restart. Replace with SQLite-backed
storage at ~/.hermes/response_store.db.
- Responses and conversation name mappings survive restarts
- Same LRU eviction behavior (configurable max_size)
- WAL mode for concurrent read performance
- Falls back to in-memory SQLite if disk path unavailable
- Conversation name→response_id mapping moved into the store
Cherry-picked from PR #2017 by @simpolism. Fixes#2011.
Discord slash commands in threads were missing thread_id in the
SessionSource, causing them to route to the parent channel session.
Commands like /usage and /reset returned wrong data or affected the
wrong session.
Detects discord.Thread channels in _build_slash_event and sets
chat_type='thread' with thread_id. Two tests added.
Five improvements to the /api/jobs endpoints:
1. Startup availability check — cron module imported once at class load,
endpoints return 501 if unavailable (not 500 per-request import error)
2. Input limits — name ≤ 200 chars, prompt ≤ 5000 chars, repeat must be
positive int
3. Update field whitelist — only name/schedule/prompt/deliver/skills/
repeat/enabled pass through to cron.jobs.update_job, preventing
arbitrary key injection
4. Deduplicated validation — _check_job_id and _check_jobs_available
helpers replace repeated boilerplate
5. 32 new tests covering all endpoints, validation, auth, and
cron-unavailable cases
The gateway created a fresh AIAgent per message, rebuilding the system
prompt (including memory, skills, context files) every turn. This broke
prompt prefix caching — providers like Anthropic charge ~10x more for
uncached prefixes.
Now caches AIAgent instances per session_key with a config signature.
The cached agent is reused across messages in the same session,
preserving the frozen system prompt and tool schemas. Cache is
invalidated when:
- Config changes (model, provider, toolsets, reasoning, ephemeral
prompt) — detected via signature mismatch
- /new, /reset, /clear — explicit session reset
- /model — global model change clears all cached agents
- /reasoning — global reasoning change clears all cached agents
Per-message state (callbacks, stream consumers, progress queues) is
set on the agent instance before each run_conversation() call.
This matches CLI behavior where a single AIAgent lives across all turns
in a session, with _cached_system_prompt built once and reused.
Fixes#1803. send_image_file, send_document, and send_video were missing
message_thread_id forwarding, causing them to fail in Telegram forum/supergroups
where thread_id is required. send_voice already handled this correctly. Adds
metadata parameter + message_thread_id to all three methods, and adds tests
covering the thread_id forwarding path.
Bare strings like "image", "audio", "document" were appended to
media_types, but downstream run.py checks mtype.startswith("image/")
and mtype.startswith("audio/"), which never matched. This caused all
Mattermost file attachments to be silently dropped from vision/STT
processing. Use the actual MIME type from file_info instead.
When streaming is enabled, the base adapter receives None from
_handle_message (already_sent=True) and cannot run auto-TTS for
voice input. The runner was unconditionally skipping voice input
TTS assuming the base adapter would handle it.
Now the runner takes over TTS responsibility when streaming has
already delivered the text response, so voice channel playback
works with both streaming on and off.
Streaming off behavior is unchanged (default already_sent=False
preserves the original code path exactly).

A single Telegram 409 Conflict from getUpdates permanently killed
Telegram polling with no recovery possible (retryable=False on
first occurrence). This is too aggressive for production use with
process supervisors.
Transient 409s are expected during:
- --replace handoffs where the old long-poll session lingers on
Telegram servers for a few seconds after SIGTERM
- systemd Restart=on-failure respawns that overlap with the dying
instance cleanup
Now _handle_polling_conflict() retries up to 3 times with a
10-second delay between attempts. The 30-second total retry window
lets stale server-side sessions expire. If all retries fail, the
error is still marked as permanently fatal — preserving the original
protection against genuine dual-instance conflicts.
Tests updated: split the single conflict test into two — one verifying
retry on transient conflict, one verifying fatal after exhausted
retries.
Closes#2296
- Convert ~~text~~ to ~text~ (MarkdownV2 strikethrough)
- Protect ||text|| from pipe escaping (MarkdownV2 spoiler)
- Preserve > at line start as blockquote instead of escaping it
- Update _strip_mdv2() to strip ~strikethrough~ and ||spoiler|| markers
- Add tests covering new formatting paths and edge cases
Place a sentinel in _running_agents immediately after the "already
running" guard check passes — before any await. Without this, the
numerous await points between the guard (line 1324) and agent
registration (track_agent at line 4790) create a window where a
second message for the same session can bypass the guard and start
a duplicate agent, corrupting the transcript.
The await gap includes: hook emissions, vision enrichment (external
API call), audio transcription (external API call), session hygiene
compression, and the run_in_executor call itself. For messages with
media attachments the window can be several seconds wide.
The sentinel is wrapped in try/finally so it is always cleaned up —
even if the handler raises or takes an early-return path. When the
real AIAgent is created, track_agent() overwrites the sentinel with
the actual instance (preserving interrupt support).
Also handles the edge case where a message arrives while the sentinel
is set but no real agent exists yet: the message is queued via the
adapter's pending-message mechanism instead of attempting to call
interrupt() on the sentinel object.
The gateway approval system previously intercepted bare 'yes'/'no' text
from the user's next message to approve/deny dangerous commands. This was
fragile and dangerous — if the agent asked a clarify question and the user
said 'yes' to answer it, the gateway would execute the pending dangerous
command instead. (Fixes#1888)
Changes:
- Remove bare text matching ('yes', 'y', 'approve', 'ok', etc.) from
_handle_message approval check
- Add /approve and /deny as gateway-only slash commands in the command
registry
- /approve supports scoping: /approve (one-time), /approve session,
/approve always (permanent)
- Add 5-minute timeout for stale approvals
- Gateway appends structured instructions to the agent response when a
dangerous command is pending, telling the user exactly how to respond
- 9 tests covering approve, deny, timeout, scoping, and verification
that bare 'yes' no longer triggers execution

* feat: OpenAI-compatible API server platform adapter
Salvaged from PR #956, updated for current main.
Adds an HTTP API server as a gateway platform adapter that exposes
hermes-agent via the OpenAI Chat Completions and Responses APIs.
Any OpenAI-compatible frontend (Open WebUI, LobeChat, LibreChat,
AnythingLLM, NextChat, ChatBox, etc.) can connect by pointing at
http://localhost:8642/v1.
Endpoints:
- POST /v1/chat/completions — stateless Chat Completions API
- POST /v1/responses — stateful Responses API with chaining
- GET /v1/responses/{id} — retrieve stored response
- DELETE /v1/responses/{id} — delete stored response
- GET /v1/models — list hermes-agent as available model
- GET /health — health check
Features:
- Real SSE streaming via stream_delta_callback (uses main's streaming)
- In-memory LRU response store for Responses API conversation chaining
- Named conversations via 'conversation' parameter
- Bearer token auth (optional, via API_SERVER_KEY)
- CORS support for browser-based frontends
- System prompt layering (frontend system messages on top of core)
- Real token usage tracking in responses
Integration points:
- Platform.API_SERVER in gateway/config.py
- _create_adapter() branch in gateway/run.py
- API_SERVER_* env vars in hermes_cli/config.py
- Env var overrides in gateway/config.py _apply_env_overrides()
Changes vs original PR #956:
- Removed streaming infrastructure (already on main via stream_consumer.py)
- Removed Telegram reply_to_mode (separate feature, not included)
- Updated _resolve_model() -> _resolve_gateway_model()
- Updated stream_callback -> stream_delta_callback
- Updated connect()/disconnect() to use _mark_connected()/_mark_disconnected()
- Adapted to current Platform enum (includes MATTERMOST, MATRIX, DINGTALK)
Tests: 72 new tests, all passing
Docs: API server guide, Open WebUI integration guide, env var reference
* feat(whatsapp): make reply prefix configurable via config.yaml
Reworked from PR #1764 (ifrederico) to use config.yaml instead of .env.
The WhatsApp bridge prepends a header to every outgoing message.
This was hardcoded to '⚕ *Hermes Agent*'. Users can now customize
or disable it via config.yaml:
whatsapp:
reply_prefix: '' # disable header
reply_prefix: '🤖 *My Bot*\n───\n' # custom prefix
How it works:
- load_gateway_config() reads whatsapp.reply_prefix from config.yaml
and stores it in PlatformConfig.extra['reply_prefix']
- WhatsAppAdapter reads it from config.extra at init
- When spawning bridge.js, the adapter passes it as
WHATSAPP_REPLY_PREFIX in the subprocess environment
- bridge.js handles undefined (default), empty (no header),
or custom values with \\n escape support
- Self-chat echo suppression uses the configured prefix
Also fixes _config_version: was 9 but ENV_VARS_BY_VERSION had a
key 10 (TAVILY_API_KEY), so existing users at v9 would never be
prompted for Tavily. Bumped to 10 to close the gap. Added a
regression test to prevent this from happening again.

and the config version gap discovery.

Add DingTalk as a messaging platform using the dingtalk-stream SDK
for real-time message reception via Stream Mode (no webhook needed).
Replies are sent via session webhook using markdown format.
Features:

- Text and rich text message support
- DM and group chat support
- Message deduplication with 5-minute window
- Auto-reconnection with exponential backoff
- Session webhook caching for reply routing
Configuration:

When a user sends a long message, Telegram clients split it into
multiple updates that arrive within milliseconds of each other.
Previously each chunk was dispatched independently — the first would
start the agent, and subsequent chunks would interrupt or queue as
separate turns, causing the agent to only see part of the message.
Add text message batching to TelegramAdapter following the same pattern
as the existing photo burst batching:
- _enqueue_text_event() buffers text by session key, concatenating
chunks that arrive in rapid succession
- _flush_text_batch() dispatches the combined message after a 0.6s
quiet period (configurable via HERMES_TELEGRAM_TEXT_BATCH_DELAY_SECONDS)
- Timer resets on each new chunk, so all parts of a split arrive
before the batch is dispatched
Reported by NulledVector on Discord.
_bot_participated_threads was an in-memory set — lost on every restart.
After restart, the bot forgot which threads it was active in, requiring
fresh @mentions and potentially creating duplicate threads instead of
continuing existing conversations.
Changes:
- Persist thread IDs to ~/.hermes/discord_threads.json
- Load on adapter init, save on every new thread participation
- _track_thread() replaces direct .add() calls for atomic persist
- Cap at 500 tracked threads to prevent unbounded growth
- /thread slash command also tracks participation
- 7 new tests covering persistence, restart survival, corruption
recovery, cap enforcement
Small models (7B-14B) can't reliably use MEDIA: or IMAGE: syntax. This
adds extract_local_files() to BasePlatformAdapter that regex-detects
bare local file paths ending in image/video extensions, validates them
with os.path.isfile(), and delivers them as native platform attachments.
Hardened over the original PR:
- Code-block exclusion: paths inside fenced blocks and inline code are
skipped so code samples are never mutilated
- URL rejection: negative lookbehind prevents matching path segments
inside HTTP URLs
- Relative path rejection: ./foo.png no longer matches
- Tilde path cleanup: raw ~/... form is removed from response text
- Deduplication by expanded path
- Added .webm to _VIDEO_EXTS
- Fallback to send_document for unrecognized media extensions

Covers the fix from PR #1632.
* refactor: centralize slash command registry
Replace 7+ scattered command definition sites with a single
CommandDef registry in hermes_cli/commands.py. All downstream
consumers now derive from this registry:
- CLI process_command() resolves aliases via resolve_command()
- Gateway _known_commands uses GATEWAY_KNOWN_COMMANDS frozenset
- Gateway help text generated by gateway_help_lines()
- Telegram BotCommands generated by telegram_bot_commands()
- Slack subcommand map generated by slack_subcommand_map()
Adding a command or alias is now a one-line change to
COMMAND_REGISTRY instead of touching 6+ files.
Bugfixes included:
- Telegram now registers /rollback, /background (were missing)
- Slack now has /voice, /update, /reload-mcp (were missing)
- Gateway duplicate 'reasoning' dispatch (dead code) removed
- Gateway help text can no longer drift from CLI help
Backwards-compatible: COMMANDS and COMMANDS_BY_CATEGORY dicts are
rebuilt from the registry, so existing imports work unchanged.
* docs: update developer docs for centralized command registry
Update AGENTS.md with full 'Slash Command Registry' and 'Adding a
Slash Command' sections covering CommandDef fields, registry helpers,
and the one-line alias workflow.
Also update:
- CONTRIBUTING.md: commands.py description
- website/docs/reference/slash-commands.md: reference central registry
- docs/plans/centralize-command-registry.md: mark COMPLETED
- plans/checkpoint-rollback.md: reference new pattern
- hermes-agent-dev skill: architecture table
* chore: remove stale plan docs
* feat: add optional smart model routing

The system unit had the same TimeoutStopSec=15 and could benefit
from the same 60s timeout for clean shutdown. Also adds a regression
test for the system unit.

* feat(skills): add blender-mcp optional skill for 3D modeling
Control a running Blender instance from Hermes via socket connection
to the blender-mcp addon (port 9876). Supports creating 3D objects,
materials, animations, and running arbitrary bpy code.
Placed in optional-skills/ since it requires Blender 4.3+ desktop
with a third-party addon manually started each session.
* feat(acp): support slash commands in ACP adapter (#1532)
Adds /help, /model, /tools, /context, /reset, /compact, /version
to the ACP adapter (VS Code, Zed, JetBrains). Commands are handled
directly in the server without instantiating the TUI — each command
queries agent/session state and returns plain text.
Unrecognized /commands fall through to the LLM as normal messages.
/model uses detect_provider_for_model() for auto-detection when
switching models, matching the CLI and gateway behavior.
Fixes#1402
* fix(logging): improve error logging in session search tool (#1533)
* fix(gateway): restart on retryable startup failures (#1517)
* feat(email): add skip_attachments option via config.yaml
* feat(email): add skip_attachments option via config.yaml
Adds a config.yaml-driven option to skip email attachments in the
gateway email adapter. Useful for malware protection and bandwidth
savings.
Configure in config.yaml:
platforms:
email:
skip_attachments: true
Based on PR #1521 by @an420eth, changed from env var to config.yaml
(via PlatformConfig.extra) to match the project's config-first pattern.
* docs: document skip_attachments option for email adapter
* fix(telegram): retry on transient TLS failures during connect and send
Add exponential-backoff retry (3 attempts) around initialize() to
handle transient TLS resets during gateway startup. Also catches
TimedOut and OSError in addition to NetworkError.
Add exponential-backoff retry (3 attempts) around send_message() for
NetworkError during message delivery, wrapping the existing Markdown
fallback logic.
Both imports are guarded with try/except ImportError for test
environments where telegram is mocked.
Based on PR #1527 by cmd8. Closes#1526.
* feat: permissive block_anchor thresholds and unicode normalization (#1539)
Salvaged from PR #1528 by an420eth. Closes#517.
Improves _strategy_block_anchor in fuzzy_match.py:
- Add unicode normalization (smart quotes, em/en-dashes, ellipsis,
non-breaking spaces → ASCII) so LLM-produced unicode artifacts
don't break anchor line matching
- Lower thresholds: 0.10 for unique matches (was 0.70), 0.30 for
multiple candidates — if first/last lines match exactly, the
block is almost certainly correct
- Use original (non-normalized) content for offset calculation to
preserve correct character positions
Tested: 3 new scenarios fixed (em-dash anchors, non-breaking space
anchors, very-low-similarity unique matches), zero regressions on
all 9 existing fuzzy match tests.

* feat(cli): add file path autocomplete in the input prompt (#1545)
When typing a path-like token (./ ../ ~/ / or containing /),
the CLI now shows filesystem completions in the dropdown menu.
Directories show a trailing slash and 'dir' label; files show
their size. Completions are case-insensitive and capped at 30
entries.
Triggered by tokens like:
edit ./src/ma → shows ./src/main.py, ./src/manifest.json, ...
check ~/doc → shows ~/docs/, ~/documents/, ...
read /etc/hos → shows /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname, ...
open tools/reg → shows tools/registry.py
Slash command autocomplete (/help, /model, etc.) is unaffected —
it still triggers when the input starts with /.
Inspired by OpenCode PR #145 (file path completion menu).
Implementation:
- hermes_cli/commands.py: _extract_path_word() detects path-like
tokens, _path_completions() yields filesystem Completions with
size labels, get_completions() routes to paths vs slash commands
- tests/hermes_cli/test_path_completion.py: 26 tests covering
path extraction, prefix filtering, directory markers, home
expansion, case-insensitivity, integration with slash commands
* feat(privacy): redact PII from LLM context when privacy.redact_pii is enabled
Add privacy.redact_pii config option (boolean, default false). When
enabled, the gateway redacts personally identifiable information from
the system prompt before sending it to the LLM provider:
- Phone numbers (user IDs on WhatsApp/Signal) → hashed to user_<sha256>
- User IDs → hashed to user_<sha256>
- Chat IDs → numeric portion hashed, platform prefix preserved
- Home channel IDs → hashed
- Names/usernames → NOT affected (user-chosen, publicly visible)
Hashes are deterministic (same user → same hash) so the model can
still distinguish users in group chats. Routing and delivery use
the original values internally — redaction only affects LLM context.
Inspired by OpenClaw PR #47959.
* fix(privacy): skip PII redaction on Discord/Slack (mentions need real IDs)
Discord uses <@user_id> for mentions and Slack uses <@U12345> — the LLM
needs the real ID to tag users. Redaction now only applies to WhatsApp,
Signal, and Telegram where IDs are pure routing metadata.
Add 4 platform-specific tests covering Discord, WhatsApp, Signal, Slack.
* feat: smart approvals + /stop command (inspired by OpenAI Codex)
* feat: smart approvals — LLM-based risk assessment for dangerous commands
Adds a 'smart' approval mode that uses the auxiliary LLM to assess
whether a flagged command is genuinely dangerous or a false positive,
auto-approving low-risk commands without prompting the user.
Inspired by OpenAI Codex's Smart Approvals guardian subagent
(openai/codex#13860).
Config (config.yaml):
approvals:
mode: manual # manual (default), smart, off
Modes:
- manual — current behavior, always prompt the user
- smart — aux LLM evaluates risk: APPROVE (auto-allow), DENY (block),
or ESCALATE (fall through to manual prompt)
- off — skip all approval prompts (equivalent to --yolo)
When smart mode auto-approves, the pattern gets session-level approval
so subsequent uses of the same pattern don't trigger another LLM call.
When it denies, the command is blocked without user prompt. When
uncertain, it escalates to the normal manual approval flow.
The LLM prompt is carefully scoped: it sees only the command text and
the flagged reason, assesses actual risk vs false positive, and returns
a single-word verdict.
* feat: make smart approval model configurable via config.yaml
Adds auxiliary.approval section to config.yaml with the same
provider/model/base_url/api_key pattern as other aux tasks (vision,
web_extract, compression, etc.).
Config:
auxiliary:
approval:
provider: auto
model: '' # fast/cheap model recommended
base_url: ''
api_key: ''
Bridged to env vars in both CLI and gateway paths so the aux client
picks them up automatically.
* feat: add /stop command to kill all background processes
Adds a /stop slash command that kills all running background processes
at once. Currently users have to process(list) then process(kill) for
each one individually.
Inspired by OpenAI Codex's separation of interrupt (Ctrl+C stops current
turn) from /stop (cleans up background processes). See openai/codex#14602.
Ctrl+C continues to only interrupt the active agent turn — background
dev servers, watchers, etc. are preserved. /stop is the explicit way
to clean them all up.
* feat: first-class plugin architecture + hide status bar cost by default (#1544)
The persistent status bar now shows context %, token counts, and
duration but NOT $ cost by default. Cost display is opt-in via:
display:
show_cost: true
in config.yaml, or: hermes config set display.show_cost true
The /usage command still shows full cost breakdown since the user
explicitly asked for it — this only affects the always-visible bar.
Status bar without cost:
⚕ claude-sonnet-4 │ 12K/200K │ 6% │ 15m
Status bar with show_cost: true:
⚕ claude-sonnet-4 │ 12K/200K │ 6% │ $0.06 │ 15m
* feat: improve memory prioritization + aggressive skill updates (inspired by OpenAI Codex)
* feat: improve memory prioritization — user preferences over procedural knowledge
Inspired by OpenAI Codex's memory prompt improvements (openai/codex#14493)
which focus memory writes on user preferences and recurring patterns
rather than procedural task details.
Key insight: 'Optimize for reducing future user steering — the most
valuable memory prevents the user from having to repeat themselves.'
Changes:
- MEMORY_GUIDANCE (prompt_builder.py): added prioritization hierarchy
and the core principle about reducing user steering
- MEMORY_SCHEMA (memory_tool.py): reordered WHEN TO SAVE list to put
corrections first, added explicit PRIORITY guidance
- Memory nudge (run_agent.py): now asks specifically about preferences,
corrections, and workflow patterns instead of generic 'anything'
- Memory flush (run_agent.py): now instructs to prioritize user
preferences and corrections over task-specific details
* feat: more aggressive skill creation and update prompting
Press harder on skill updates — the agent should proactively patch
skills when it encounters issues during use, not wait to be asked.
Changes:
- SKILLS_GUIDANCE: 'consider saving' → 'save'; added explicit instruction
to patch skills immediately when found outdated/wrong
- Skills header: added instruction to update loaded skills before finishing
if they had missing steps or wrong commands
- Skill nudge: more assertive ('save the approach' not 'consider saving'),
now also prompts for updating existing skills used in the task
- Skill nudge interval: lowered default from 15 to 10 iterations
- skill_manage schema: added 'patch it immediately' to update triggers
* feat: first-class plugin architecture (#1555)
Plugin system for extending Hermes with custom tools, hooks, and
integrations — no source code changes required.
Core system (hermes_cli/plugins.py):
- Plugin discovery from ~/.hermes/plugins/, .hermes/plugins/, and
pip entry_points (hermes_agent.plugins group)
- PluginContext with register_tool() and register_hook()
- 6 lifecycle hooks: pre/post tool_call, pre/post llm_call,
on_session_start/end
- Namespace package handling for relative imports in plugins
- Graceful error isolation — broken plugins never crash the agent
Integration (model_tools.py):
- Plugin discovery runs after built-in + MCP tools
- Plugin tools bypass toolset filter via get_plugin_tool_names()
- Pre/post tool call hooks fire in handle_function_call()
CLI:
- /plugins command shows loaded plugins, tool counts, status
- Added to COMMANDS dict for autocomplete
Docs:
- Getting started guide (build-a-hermes-plugin.md) — full tutorial
building a calculator plugin step by step
- Reference page (features/plugins.md) — quick overview + tables
- Covers: file structure, schemas, handlers, hooks, data files,
bundled skills, env var gating, pip distribution, common mistakes
Tests: 16 tests covering discovery, loading, hooks, tool visibility.
* feat: add /bg as alias for /background slash command
Adds /bg alias across CLI, gateway, and Slack platform adapter.
Updates help text, autocomplete, known_commands set, and dispatch
logic. Includes tests for the new alias.
* docs: add plan for centralized slash command registry
Scopes a refactor to replace 7+ scattered command definition sites
with a single CommandDef registry in hermes_cli/commands.py. Includes
derived helper functions for gateway help text, Telegram BotCommands,
Slack subcommand maps, and alias resolution.
Documents current drift (Telegram missing /rollback + /background,
Slack missing /voice + /update, gateway dead code) that the refactor
fixes for free.

Discord uses <@user_id> for mentions and Slack uses <@U12345> — the LLM
needs the real ID to tag users. Redaction now only applies to WhatsApp,
Signal, and Telegram where IDs are pure routing metadata.
Add 4 platform-specific tests covering Discord, WhatsApp, Signal, Slack.
Add privacy.redact_pii config option (boolean, default false). When
enabled, the gateway redacts personally identifiable information from
the system prompt before sending it to the LLM provider:
- Phone numbers (user IDs on WhatsApp/Signal) → hashed to user_<sha256>
- User IDs → hashed to user_<sha256>
- Chat IDs → numeric portion hashed, platform prefix preserved
- Home channel IDs → hashed
- Names/usernames → NOT affected (user-chosen, publicly visible)
Hashes are deterministic (same user → same hash) so the model can
still distinguish users in group chats. Routing and delivery use
the original values internally — redaction only affects LLM context.
