Fixes silent data loss in the TUI when /undo, /compress, /retry, or
rollback.restore runs during an in-flight agent turn. The version-
guard at prompt.submit:1449 would fail the version check and silently
skip writing the agent's result — UI showed the assistant reply but
DB / backend history never received it, causing UI↔backend desync
that persisted across session resume.
Changes (tui_gateway/server.py):
- session.undo, session.compress, /retry, rollback.restore (full-history
only — file-scoped rollbacks still allowed): reject with 4009 when
session.running is True. Users can /interrupt first.
- prompt.submit: on history_version mismatch (defensive backstop),
attach a 'warning' field to message.complete and log to stderr
instead of silently dropping the agent's output. The UI can surface
the warning to the user; the operator can spot it in logs.
Tests (tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py): 6 new cases.
- test_session_undo_rejects_while_running
- test_session_undo_allowed_when_idle (regression guard)
- test_session_compress_rejects_while_running
- test_rollback_restore_rejects_full_history_while_running
- test_prompt_submit_history_version_mismatch_surfaces_warning
- test_prompt_submit_history_version_match_persists_normally (regression)
Validated: against unpatched server.py the three 'rejects_while_running'
tests fail and the version-mismatch test fails (no 'warning' field).
With the fix, all 6 pass, all 33 tests in the file pass, 74 TUI tests
in total pass. Live E2E against the live Python environment confirmed
all 5 patches present and guards enforce 4009 exactly as designed.
_make_agent() was not calling resolve_runtime_provider(), so bare-slug
models (e.g. 'claude-opus-4-6' with provider: anthropic) left provider,
base_url, and api_key empty in AIAgent — causing HTTP 404 at
api.anthropic.com.
Now mirrors cli.py: calls resolve_runtime_provider(requested=None) and
forwards all 7 resolved fields to AIAgent.
Adds regression test.
Two related race conditions in gateway/platforms/base.py that could
produce duplicate agent runs or silently drop messages. Neither is
specific to any one platform — all adapters inherit this logic.
R5 (HIGH) — duplicate agent spawn on turn chain
In _process_message_background, the pending-drain path deleted
_active_sessions[session_key] before awaiting typing_task.cancel()
and then recursively awaiting _process_message_background for the
queued event. During the typing_task await, a fresh inbound message
M3 could pass the Level-1 guard (entry now missing), set its own
Event, and spawn a second _process_message_background for the same
session_key — two agents running simultaneously, duplicate responses,
duplicate tool calls.
Fix: keep the _active_sessions entry populated and only clear() the
Event. The guard stays live, so any concurrent inbound message takes
the busy-handler path (queue + interrupt) as intended.
R6 (MED-HIGH) — message dropped during finally cleanup
The finally block has two await points (typing_task, stop_typing)
before it deletes _active_sessions. A message arriving in that
window passes the guard (entry still live), lands in
_pending_messages via the busy-handler — and then the unconditional
del removes the guard with that message still queued. Nothing
drains it; the user never gets a reply.
Fix: before deleting _active_sessions in finally, pop any late
pending_messages entry and spawn a drain task for it. Only delete
_active_sessions when no pending is waiting.
Tests: tests/gateway/test_pending_drain_race.py — three regression
cases. Validated: without the fix, two of the three fail exactly
where the races manifest (duplicate-spawn guard loses identity,
late-arrival 'LATE' message not in processed list).
Add approvals.cron_mode config option that controls how cron jobs handle
dangerous commands. Previously, cron jobs silently auto-approved all
dangerous commands because there was no user present to approve them.
Now the behavior is configurable:
- deny (default): block dangerous commands and return a message telling
the agent to find an alternative approach. The agent loop continues —
it just can't use that specific command.
- approve: auto-approve all dangerous commands (previous behavior).
When a command is blocked, the agent receives the same response format as
a user denial in the CLI — exit_code=-1, status=blocked, with a message
explaining why and pointing to the config option. This keeps the agent
loop running and encourages it to adapt.
Implementation:
- config.py: add approvals.cron_mode to DEFAULT_CONFIG
- scheduler.py: set HERMES_CRON_SESSION=1 env var before agent runs
- approval.py: both check_command_approval() and check_all_command_guards()
now check for cron sessions and apply the configured mode
- 21 new tests covering config parsing, deny/approve behavior, and
interaction with other bypass mechanisms (yolo, containers)
Codex OAuth refresh tokens are single-use and rotate on every refresh.
Sharing them with the Codex CLI / VS Code via ~/.codex/auth.json made
concurrent use of both tools a race: whoever refreshed last invalidated
the other side's refresh_token. On top of that, the silent auto-import
path picked up placeholder / aborted-auth data from ~/.codex/auth.json
(e.g. literal {"access_token":"access-new","refresh_token":"refresh-new"})
and seeded it into the Hermes pool as an entry the selector could
eventually pick.
Hermes now owns its own Codex auth state end-to-end:
Removed
- agent/credential_pool.py: _sync_codex_entry_from_cli() method,
its pre-refresh + retry + _available_entries call sites, and the
post-refresh write-back to ~/.codex/auth.json.
- agent/credential_pool.py: auto-import from ~/.codex/auth.json in
_seed_from_singletons() — users now run `hermes auth openai-codex`
explicitly.
- hermes_cli/auth.py: silent runtime migration in
resolve_codex_runtime_credentials() — now surfaces
`codex_auth_missing` directly (message already points to `hermes auth`).
- hermes_cli/auth.py: post-refresh write-back in
_refresh_codex_auth_tokens().
- hermes_cli/auth.py: dead helper _write_codex_cli_tokens() and its 4
tests in test_auth_codex_provider.py.
Kept
- hermes_cli/auth.py: _import_codex_cli_tokens() — still used by the
interactive `hermes auth openai-codex` setup flow for a user-gated
one-time import (with "a separate login is recommended" messaging).
User-visible impact
- On existing installs with Hermes auth already present: no change.
- On a fresh install where the user has only logged in via Codex CLI:
`hermes chat --provider openai-codex` now fails with "No Codex
credentials stored. Run `hermes auth` to authenticate." The
interactive setup flow then detects ~/.codex/auth.json and offers a
one-time import.
- On an install where Codex CLI later refreshes its token: Hermes is
unaffected (we no longer read from that file at runtime).
Tests
- tests/hermes_cli/test_auth_codex_provider.py: 15/15 pass.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_auth_commands.py: 20/20 pass.
- tests/agent/test_credential_pool.py: 31/31 pass.
- Live E2E on openai-codex/gpt-5.4: 1 API call, 1.7s latency,
3 log lines, no refresh events, no auth drama.
The related 14:52 refresh-loop bug (hundreds of rotations/minute on a
single entry) is a separate issue — that requires a refresh-attempt
cap on the auth-recovery path in run_agent.py, which remains open.
HermesCLI._display_resumed_history() calls the module-level _strip_reasoning_tags() to clean assistant content before rendering the recap panel. The tag list was missing <thought> (Gemma 4) and there was no pass for stray orphan </tag> closes, so those variants leaked internal reasoning into the recap display (#11316).
- Add <thought> to _REASONING_TAGS.
- Add a third regex pass that strips orphan close tags (e.g. 'stuff</think>answer' → 'stuffanswer').
- Apply IGNORECASE to closed-pair and unclosed-pair passes so mixed-case variants (<THINK>, <Thinking>) are handled uniformly — previously both 'THINKING' and 'thinking' had to be listed explicitly as distinct tuple entries, which missed <Thinking>.
7 new regression tests in tests/cli/test_resume_display.py covering: <think>, <thinking>, <reasoning>, <thought>, unclosed <think>, multiple interleaved blocks, and orphan </think> close.
Resolves#11316.
Originally proposed as PR #11366.
Inline reasoning tags in an assistant message's content field leak to every downstream consumer: messaging platforms (#8878, #9568), API replay of prior turns, session transcript, CLI recap, generated session titles, and context compression. _extract_reasoning() already captures the reasoning text into msg['reasoning'] separately, so the raw tags in content are redundant.
Stripping once at the storage boundary in _build_assistant_message() cleans the content for every downstream path in one place — no per-platform or per-path stripper needed. Measured impact on a real MiniMax M2.7-highspeed session (per @luoyejiaoe-source, #9306): 55% of assistant messages started with <think> blocks, 51/100 session titles were polluted, 16% content-size reduction.
3 new regression tests in TestBuildAssistantMessage: closed-pair strip with reasoning capture, no-think-tag passthrough, and unterminated-block strip.
Resolves#8878 and #9568.
Originally proposed as PR #9250.
Providers served via NIM (MiniMax M2.7, some Moonshot/DeepSeek proxies) sometimes drop the closing </think> tag, leaving raw reasoning in the assistant's content field. _strip_think_blocks()'s closed-pair regex is non-greedy so it only matches complete blocks — any orphan <think>...EOF survived the stripper and leaked to users (#8878, #9568, #10408).
Adds an unterminated-tag pass that fires when an open reasoning tag sits at a block boundary (start of text or after a newline) with no matching close. Everything from that tag to end of string is stripped. The block-boundary check mirrors gateway/stream_consumer.py's filter so models that mention <think> in prose are not over-stripped.
Also makes the closed-pair regexes consistently case-insensitive so <THINK>...</THINK> and <Thinking>...</Thinking> are handled uniformly — previously the mixed-case open tag would bypass the closed-pair pass and be caught by the unterminated-tag pass, taking trailing visible content with it.
6 new regression tests in TestStripThinkBlocks covering: unterminated <think>, unterminated <thought>, multi-line unterminated, line-start orphan with preserved prefix, prose-mention non-regression, mixed-case closed pairs.
The implementation is inspired by @luinbytes's PR #10408 report of the NIM/MiniMax symptom. This commit does not include the 💭/🧠 emoji regexes from that PR — those glyphs are Hermes CLI display decorations, not model content markers.
Gateway startup leaks aiohttp.ClientSession (and other partial-init
resources) when an adapter's connect() returns False or raises. The
adapter is never added to self.adapters, so the shutdown path at
gateway/run.py:2426 never calls disconnect() on it — Python GC later
logs 'Unclosed client session' at process exit.
Seen on 2026-04-18 18:08:16 during a double --replace takeover cycle:
one of the partial-init sessions survived past shutdown and emitted
the warning right before status=75/TEMPFAIL.
Fix:
- New GatewayRunner._safe_adapter_disconnect() helper — calls
adapter.disconnect() and swallows any exception. Used on error paths.
- Connect loop calls it in both failure branches: success=False and
except Exception.
- Adapter disconnect() implementations are already expected to be
idempotent and tolerate partial-init state (they all guard on
self._http_session / self._bridge_process before touching them).
Tests: tests/gateway/test_safe_adapter_disconnect.py — 3 cases verify
the helper forwards to disconnect, swallows exceptions, and tolerates
platform=None.
Any recognized slash command now bypasses the Level-1 active-session
guard instead of queueing + interrupting. A mid-run /model (or
/reasoning, /voice, /insights, /title, /resume, /retry, /undo,
/compress, /usage, /provider, /reload-mcp, /sethome, /reset) used to
interrupt the agent AND get silently discarded by the slash-command
safety net — zero-char response, dropped tool calls.
Root cause:
- Discord registers 41 native slash commands via tree.command().
- Only 14 were in ACTIVE_SESSION_BYPASS_COMMANDS.
- The other ~15 user-facing ones fell through base.py:handle_message
to the busy-session handler, which calls running_agent.interrupt()
AND queues the text.
- After the aborted run, gateway/run.py:9912 correctly identifies the
queued text as a slash command and discards it — but the damage
(interrupt + zero-char response) already happened.
Fix:
- should_bypass_active_session() now returns True for any resolvable
slash command. ACTIVE_SESSION_BYPASS_COMMANDS stays as the subset
with dedicated Level-2 handlers (documentation + tests).
- gateway/run.py adds a catch-all after the dedicated handlers that
returns a user-visible "agent busy — wait or /stop first" response
for any other resolvable command.
- Unknown text / file-path-like messages are unchanged — they still
queue.
Also:
- gateway/platforms/discord.py logs the invoker identity on every
slash command (user id + name + channel + guild) so future
ghost-command reports can be triaged without guessing.
Tests:
- 15 new parametrized cases in test_command_bypass_active_session.py
cover every previously-broken Discord slash command.
- Existing tests for /stop, /new, /approve, /deny, /help, /status,
/agents, /background, /steer, /update, /queue still pass.
- test_steer.py's ACTIVE_SESSION_BYPASS_COMMANDS check still passes.
Fixes#5057. Related: #6252, #10370, #4665.
Tests the three cases:
- DM with from_user=None: user_id falls back to chat.id
- Group with from_user=None: user_id stays None (safe default)
- DM with from_user present: user_id uses from_user.id (no regression)
Follow-up to #12301.
The drain-timeout branch of _stop_impl() was iterating the drain-start
snapshot (active_agents) when marking sessions resume_pending. That
snapshot can include sessions that finished gracefully during the drain
window — marking them would give their next turn a stray
'your previous turn was interrupted by a gateway restart' system note
even though the prior turn actually completed cleanly.
Iterate self._running_agents at timeout time instead, mirroring
_interrupt_running_agents() exactly:
- only sessions still blocking the shutdown get marked
- pending sentinels (AIAgent construction not yet complete) are skipped
Changes:
- gateway/run.py: swap active_agents.keys() for filtered
self._running_agents.items() iteration in the drain-timeout mark loop.
- tests/gateway/test_restart_resume_pending.py: two regression tests —
finisher-during-drain not marked, pending sentinel not marked.
The shutdown banner promised "send any message after restart to resume
where you left off" but the code did the opposite: a drain-timeout
restart skipped the .clean_shutdown marker, which made the next startup
call suspend_recently_active(), which marked the session suspended,
which made get_or_create_session() spawn a fresh session_id with a
'Session automatically reset. Use /resume...' notice — contradicting
the banner.
Introduce a resume_pending state on SessionEntry that is distinct from
suspended. Drain-timeout shutdown flags active sessions resume_pending
instead of letting startup-wide suspension destroy them. The next
message on the same session_key preserves the session_id, reloads the
transcript, and the agent receives a reason-aware restart-resume
system note that subsumes the existing tool-tail auto-continue note
(PR #9934).
Terminal escalation still flows through the existing
.restart_failure_counts stuck-loop counter (PR #7536, threshold 3) —
no parallel counter on SessionEntry. suspended still wins over
resume_pending in get_or_create_session() so genuinely stuck sessions
converge to a clean slate.
Spec: PR #11852 (BrennerSpear). Implementation follows the spec with
the approved correction (reuse .restart_failure_counts rather than
adding a resume_attempts field).
Changes:
- gateway/session.py: SessionEntry.resume_pending/resume_reason/
last_resume_marked_at + to_dict/from_dict; SessionStore
.mark_resume_pending()/clear_resume_pending(); get_or_create_session()
returns existing entry when resume_pending (suspended still wins);
suspend_recently_active() skips resume_pending entries.
- gateway/run.py: _stop_impl() drain-timeout branch marks active
sessions resume_pending before _interrupt_running_agents();
_run_agent() injects reason-aware restart-resume system note that
subsumes the tool-tail case; successful-turn cleanup also clears
resume_pending next to _clear_restart_failure_count();
_notify_active_sessions_of_shutdown() softens the restart banner to
'I'll try to resume where you left off' (honest about stuck-loop
escalation).
- tests/gateway/test_restart_resume_pending.py: 29 new tests covering
SessionEntry roundtrip, mark/clear helpers, get_or_create_session
precedence (suspended > resume_pending), suspend_recently_active
skip, drain-timeout mark reason (restart vs shutdown), system-note
injection decision tree (including tool-tail subsumption), banner
wording, and stuck-loop escalation override.
Based on #11984 by @maxchernin. Fixes#8259.
Some providers (MiniMax M2.7 via NVIDIA NIM) resend the full function
name in every streaming chunk instead of only the first. The old
accumulator used += which concatenated them into 'read_fileread_file'.
Changed to simple assignment (=), matching the OpenAI Node SDK, LiteLLM,
and Vercel AI SDK patterns. Function names are atomic identifiers
delivered complete — no provider splits them across chunks, so
concatenation was never correct semantics.
Pass 3 of `_prune_old_tool_results` previously shrunk long `function.arguments`
blobs by slicing the raw JSON string at byte 200 and appending the literal
text `...[truncated]`. That routinely produced payloads like::
{"path": "/foo.md", "content": "# Long markdown
...[truncated]
— an unterminated string with no closing brace. Strict providers (observed
on MiniMax) reject this as `invalid function arguments json string` with a
non-retryable 400. Because the broken call survives in the session history,
every subsequent turn re-sends the same malformed payload and gets the same
400, locking the session into a re-send loop until the call falls out of
the window.
Fix: parse the arguments first, shrink long string leaves inside the parsed
structure, and re-serialise. Non-string values (paths, ints, booleans, lists)
pass through intact. Arguments that are not valid JSON to begin with (rare,
some backends use non-JSON tool args) are returned unchanged rather than
replaced with something neither we nor the provider can parse.
Observed in the wild: a `write_file` with ~800 chars of markdown `content`
triggered this on a real session against MiniMax-M2.7; every turn after
compression got rejected until the session was manually reset.
Tests:
- 7 direct tests of `_truncate_tool_call_args_json` covering valid-JSON
output, non-JSON pass-through, nested structures, non-string leaves,
scalar JSON, and Unicode preservation
- 1 end-to-end test through `_prune_old_tool_results` Pass 3 that
reproduces the exact failure payload shape from the incident

* fix(kimi): force fixed temperature on kimi-k2.* models (k2.5, thinking, turbo)
The prior override only matched the literal model name "kimi-for-coding",
but Moonshot's coding endpoint is hit with real model IDs such as
`kimi-k2.5`, `kimi-k2-turbo-preview`, `kimi-k2-thinking`, etc. Those
requests bypassed the override and kept the caller's temperature, so
Moonshot returns HTTP 400 "invalid temperature: only 0.6 is allowed for
this model" (or 1.0 for thinking variants).
Match the whole kimi-k2.* family:
* kimi-k2-thinking / kimi-k2-thinking-turbo -> 1.0 (thinking mode)
* all other kimi-k2.* -> 0.6 (non-thinking / instant mode)
Also accept an optional vendor prefix (e.g. `moonshotai/kimi-k2.5`) so
aggregator routings are covered.
* refactor(kimi): whitelist-match kimi coding models instead of prefix
Addresses review feedback on PR #12144.
- Replace `startswith("kimi-k2")` with explicit frozensets sourced from
Moonshot's kimi-for-coding model list. The prefix match would have also
clamped `kimi-k2-instruct` / `kimi-k2-instruct-0905`, which are the
separate non-coding K2 family with variable temperature (recommended 0.6
but not enforced — see huggingface.co/moonshotai/Kimi-K2-Instruct).
- Confirmed via platform.kimi.ai docs that all five coding models
(k2.5, k2-turbo-preview, k2-0905-preview, k2-thinking, k2-thinking-turbo)
share the fixed-temperature lock, so the preview-model mapping is no
longer an assumption.
- Drop the fragile `"thinking" in bare` substring test for a set lookup.
- Log a debug line on each override so operators can see when Hermes
silently rewrites temperature.
- Update class docstring. Extend the negative test to parametrize over
kimi-k2-instruct, Kimi-K2-Instruct-0905, and a hypothetical future
kimi-k2-experimental name — all must keep the caller's temperature.
- /retry: use session['history'] instead of non-existent
agent.conversation_history; truncate history at last user message
to match CLI retry_last() behavior; add history_lock safety
- /plan: pass user instruction (arg) to build_plan_path instead of
session_key; add runtime_note so agent knows where to save the plan
- ANSI tool results: render full text via <Ansi wrap=truncate-end>
instead of slicing raw ANSI through compactPreview (which cuts
mid-escape-sequence producing garbled output)
- Move _PENDING_INPUT_COMMANDS frozenset to module level
- Use get_skill_commands() (cached) instead of scan_skill_commands()
(rescans disk) in slash.exec skill interception
- Add 3 retry tests: happy path with history truncation verification,
empty history error, multipart content extraction
- Update test mock target from scan_skill_commands to get_skill_commands
Additional TUI fixes discovered in the same audit:
1. /plan slash command was silently lost — process_command() queues the
plan skill invocation onto _pending_input which nobody reads in the
slash worker subprocess. Now intercepted in slash.exec and routed
through command.dispatch with a new 'send' dispatch type.
Same interception added for /retry, /queue, /steer as safety nets
(these already have correct TUI-local handlers in core.ts, but the
server-side guard prevents regressions if the local handler is
bypassed).
2. Tool results were stripping ANSI escape codes — the messageLine
component used stripAnsi() + plain <Text> for tool role messages,
losing all color/styling from terminal, search_files, etc. Now
uses <Ansi> component (already imported) when ANSI is detected.
3. Terminal tab title now shows model + busy status via useTerminalTitle
hook from @hermes/ink (was never used). Users can identify Hermes
tabs and see at a glance whether the agent is busy or ready.
4. Added 'send' variant to CommandDispatchResponse type + asCommandDispatch
parser + createSlashHandler handler for commands that need to inject
a message into the conversation (plan, queue fallback, steer fallback).
Two TUI fixes:
1. Hyperlinks are now clickable (Cmd+Click / Ctrl+Click) in terminals
that support OSC 8. The markdown renderer was rendering links as
plain colored text — now wraps them in the existing <Link> component
from @hermes/ink which emits OSC 8 escape sequences.
2. Skill slash commands (e.g. /hermes-agent-dev) now work in the TUI.
The slash.exec handler was delegating to the _SlashWorker subprocess
which calls cli.process_command(). For skills, process_command()
queues the invocation message onto _pending_input — a Queue that
nobody reads in the worker subprocess. The skill message was lost.
Now slash.exec detects skill commands early and rejects them so
the TUI falls through to command.dispatch, which correctly builds
and returns the skill payload for the client to send().
* feat(steer): /steer <prompt> injects a mid-run note after the next tool call
Adds a new slash command that sits between /queue (turn boundary) and
interrupt. /steer <text> stashes the message on the running agent and
the agent loop appends it to the LAST tool result's content once the
current tool batch finishes. The model sees it as part of the tool
output on its next iteration.
No interrupt is fired, no new user turn is inserted, and no prompt
cache invalidation happens beyond the normal per-turn tool-result
churn. Message-role alternation is preserved — we only modify an
existing role:"tool" message's content.
Wiring
------
- hermes_cli/commands.py: register /steer + add to ACTIVE_SESSION_BYPASS_COMMANDS.
- run_agent.py: add _pending_steer state, AIAgent.steer(), _drain_pending_steer(),
_apply_pending_steer_to_tool_results(); drain at end of both parallel and
sequential tool executors; clear on interrupt; return leftover as
result['pending_steer'] if the agent exits before another tool batch.
- cli.py: /steer handler — route to agent.steer() when running, fall back to
the regular queue otherwise; deliver result['pending_steer'] as next turn.
- gateway/run.py: running-agent intercept calls running_agent.steer(); idle-agent
path strips the prefix and forwards as a regular user message.
- tui_gateway/server.py: new session.steer JSON-RPC method.
- ui-tui: SessionSteerResponse type + local /steer slash command that calls
session.steer when ui.busy, otherwise enqueues for the next turn.
Fallbacks
---------
- Agent exits mid-steer → surfaces in run_conversation result as pending_steer
so CLI/gateway deliver it as the next user turn instead of silently dropping it.
- All tools skipped after interrupt → re-stashes pending_steer for the caller.
- No active agent → /steer reduces to sending the text as a normal message.
Tests
-----
- tests/run_agent/test_steer.py — accept/reject, concatenation, drain,
last-tool-result injection, multimodal list content, thread safety,
cleared-on-interrupt, registry membership, bypass-set membership.
- tests/gateway/test_steer_command.py — running agent, pending sentinel,
missing steer() method, rejected payload, empty payload.
- tests/gateway/test_command_bypass_active_session.py — /steer bypasses
the Level-1 base adapter guard.
- tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py — session.steer RPC paths.
72/72 targeted tests pass under scripts/run_tests.sh.
* feat(steer): register /steer in Discord's native slash tree
Discord's app_commands tree is a curated subset of slash commands (not
derived from COMMAND_REGISTRY like Telegram/Slack). /steer already
works there as plain text (routes through handle_message → base
adapter bypass → runner), but registering it here adds Discord's
native autocomplete + argument hint UI so users can discover and
type it like any other first-class command.
base.py's _keep_typing refresh loop calls send_typing every ~2s while
the agent is processing. If signal-cli returns NETWORK_FAILURE for the
recipient (offline, unroutable, group membership lost), the unmitigated
path was a WARNING log every 2 seconds for as long as the agent stayed
busy — a user report showed 1048 warnings in 41 minutes for one
offline contact, plus the matching volume of pointless RPC traffic to
signal-cli.
- _rpc() accepts log_failures=False so callers can route repeated
expected failures (typing) to DEBUG while keeping send/receive at
WARNING.
- send_typing() tracks consecutive failures per chat. First failure
still logs WARNING so transport issues remain visible; subsequent
failures log at DEBUG. After three consecutive failures we skip the
RPC during an exponential cooldown (16s, 32s, 60s cap) so we stop
hammering signal-cli for a recipient it can't deliver to. A
successful sendTyping resets the counters.
- _stop_typing_indicator() clears the backoff state so the next agent
turn starts fresh.
E2E simulation against the reported 41-minute window: RPCs drop from
1230 to 45 (-96%), log lines from 1048 WARNINGs to 1 WARNING + 44
DEBUGs.
Credits kshitijk4poor (#12056) for the _rpc log_failures kwarg idea;
the broader restructure in that PR (nested per-chat loop inside
send_typing) is avoided here in favour of stateful backoff that
preserves base.py's existing _keep_typing architecture.
Twelve tests under TestCJKSearchFallback guarding:
- CJK detection across Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Hiragana/Katakana ranges
(including the full Hangul syllables block \uac00-\ud7af, to catch
the shorter-range typo from one of the duplicate PRs)
- Substring match for multi-char Chinese, Japanese, Korean queries
- Filter preservation (source_filter, exclude_sources, role_filter)
in the LIKE path — guards against the SQL-builder bug from another
duplicate PR where filter clauses landed after LIMIT/OFFSET
- Snippet centered on the matched term (instr-based substr window),
not the leading 200 chars of content
- English fast-path untouched
- Empty/no-match cases
- Mixed CJK+English queries
Also:
- hermes_state.py: LIKE-fallback snippet is now
`substr(content, max(1, instr(content, ?) - 40), 120)`, centered on
the match instead of the whole-content default. Credit goes to
@iamagenius00 for the snippet idea in PR #11517.
- scripts/release.py: add @iamagenius00 to AUTHOR_MAP so future
release attribution resolves cleanly.

When streaming died after text was already delivered to the user but
before a tool-call's arguments finished streaming, the partial-stream
stub at the end of _interruptible_streaming_api_call silently set
`tool_calls=None` on the returned message and kept `finish_reason=stop`.
The agent treated the turn as complete, the session exited cleanly with
code 0, and the attempted action was lost with zero user-facing signal.
Live-observed Apr 2026 with MiniMax M2.7 on a ~6-minute audit task:
agent streamed 'Let me write the audit:', started emitting a write_file
tool call, MiniMax stalled for 240s mid-arguments, the stale-stream
detector killed the connection, the stub fired, session ended, no file
written, no error shown.
Fix: the streaming accumulator now records each tool-call's name into
`result['partial_tool_names']` as soon as the name is known. When the
stub builder fires after a partial delivery and finds any recorded tool
names, it appends a human-visible warning to the stub's content — and
also fires it as a live stream delta so the user sees it immediately,
not only in the persisted transcript. The next turn's model also sees
the warning in conversation history and can retry on its own. Text-only
partial streams keep the original bare-recovery behaviour (no warning).
Validation:
| Scenario | Before | After |
|---------------------------------------------|---------------------------|---------------------------------------------|
| Stream dies mid tool-call, text already sent | Silent exit, no indication | User sees ⚠ warning naming the dropped tool |
| Text-only partial stream | Bare recovered text | Unchanged |
| tests/run_agent/test_streaming.py | 24 passed | 26 passed (2 new) |
Weaker models (Gemma-class) repeatedly rediscover and forget that
execute_code uses a different CWD and Python interpreter than terminal(),
causing them to flip-flop on whether user files exist and to hit import
errors on project dependencies like pandas.
Adds a new 'code_execution.mode' config key (default 'project') that
brings execute_code into line with terminal()'s filesystem/interpreter:
project (new default):
- cwd = session's TERMINAL_CWD (falls back to os.getcwd())
- python = active VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/python or CONDA_PREFIX/bin/python
with a Python 3.8+ version check; falls back cleanly to
sys.executable if no venv or the candidate fails
- result : 'import pandas' works, '.env' resolves, matches terminal()
strict (opt-in):
- cwd = staging tmpdir (today's behavior)
- python = sys.executable (today's behavior)
- result : maximum reproducibility and isolation; project deps
won't resolve
Security-critical invariants are identical across both modes and covered by
explicit regression tests:
- env scrubbing (strips *_API_KEY, *_TOKEN, *_SECRET, *_PASSWORD,
*_CREDENTIAL, *_PASSWD, *_AUTH substrings)
- SANDBOX_ALLOWED_TOOLS whitelist (no execute_code recursion, no
delegate_task, no MCP from inside scripts)
- resource caps (5-min timeout, 50KB stdout, 50 tool calls)
Deliberately avoids 'sandbox'/'isolated'/'cloud' language in tool
descriptions (regression from commit 39b83f34 where agents on local
backends falsely believed they were sandboxed and refused networking).
Override via env var: HERMES_EXECUTE_CODE_MODE=strict|project
Seven test files were asserting against older function signatures and
behaviors. CI has been red on main because of accumulated test debt
from other PRs; this catches the tests up.
- tests/agent/test_subagent_progress.py: _build_child_progress_callback
now takes (task_index, goal, parent_agent, task_count=1); update all
call sites and rewrite tests that assumed the old 'batch-only' relay
semantics (now relays per-tool AND flushes a summary at BATCH_SIZE).
Renamed test_thinking_not_relayed_to_gateway → test_thinking_relayed_to_gateway
since thinking IS now relayed as subagent.thinking.
- tests/tools/test_delegate.py: _build_child_agent now requires
task_count; add task_count=1 to all 8 call sites.
- tests/cli/test_reasoning_command.py: AIAgent gained _stream_callback;
stub it on the two test agent helpers that use spec=AIAgent / __new__.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_cmd_update.py: cmd_update now runs npm install
in repo root + ui-tui/ + web/ and 'npm run build' in web/; assert
all four subprocess calls in the expected order.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_model_validation.py: dissimilar unknown models
now return accepted=False (previously True with warning); update
both affected tests.
- tests/tools/test_registry.py: include feishu_doc_tool and
feishu_drive_tool in the expected builtin tool set.
- tests/gateway/test_voice_command.py: missing-voice-deps message now
suggests 'pip install PyNaCl' not 'hermes-agent[messaging]'.
411/411 pass locally across these 7 files.
hermes update no longer dies when the controlling terminal closes
(SSH drop, shell close) during pip install. SIGHUP is set to SIG_IGN
for the duration of the update, and stdout/stderr are wrapped so writes
to a closed pipe are absorbed instead of cascading into process exit.
All update output is mirrored to ~/.hermes/logs/update.log so users can
see what happened after reconnecting.
SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and SIGTERM (systemd) are intentionally still honored —
those are deliberate cancellations, not accidents. In gateway mode the
helper is a no-op since the update is already detached.
POSIX preserves SIG_IGN across exec(), so pip and git subprocesses
inherit hangup protection automatically — no changes to subprocess
spawning needed.
When a Telegram /restart fires and PTB's graceful-shutdown `get_updates`
ACK call times out ("When polling for updates is restarted, updates may
be received twice" in gateway.log), the new gateway receives the same
/restart again and restarts a second time — a self-perpetuating loop.
Record the triggering update_id in `.restart_last_processed.json` when
handling /restart. On the next process, reject a /restart whose
update_id <= the recorded one as a stale redelivery. 5-minute staleness
guard so an orphaned marker can't block a legitimately new /restart.
- gateway/platforms/base.py: add `platform_update_id` to MessageEvent
- gateway/platforms/telegram.py: propagate `update.update_id` through
_build_message_event for text/command/location/media handlers
- gateway/run.py: write dedup marker in _handle_restart_command;
_is_stale_restart_redelivery checks it before processing /restart
- tests/gateway/test_restart_redelivery_dedup.py: 9 new tests covering
fresh restart, redelivery, staleness window, cross-platform,
malformed-marker resilience, and no-update_id (CLI) bypass
Only active for Telegram today (the one platform with monotonic
cross-session update ordering); other platforms return False from
_is_stale_restart_redelivery and proceed normally.
* fix(interrupt): propagate to concurrent-tool workers + opt-in debug trace
interrupt() previously only flagged the agent's _execution_thread_id.
Tools running inside _execute_tool_calls_concurrent execute on
ThreadPoolExecutor worker threads whose tids are distinct from the
agent's, so is_interrupted() inside those tools returned False no matter
how many times the gateway called .interrupt() — hung ssh / curl / long
make-builds ran to their own timeout.
Changes:
- run_agent.py: track concurrent-tool worker tids in a per-agent set,
fan interrupt()/clear_interrupt() out to them, and handle the
register-after-interrupt race at _run_tool entry. getattr fallback
for the tracker so test stubs built via object.__new__ keep working.
- tools/environments/base.py: opt-in _wait_for_process trace (ENTER,
per-30s HEARTBEAT with interrupt+activity-cb state, INTERRUPT
DETECTED, TIMEOUT, EXIT) behind HERMES_DEBUG_INTERRUPT=1.
- tools/interrupt.py: opt-in set_interrupt() trace (caller tid, target
tid, set snapshot) behind the same env flag.
- tests: new regression test runs a polling tool on a concurrent worker
and asserts is_interrupted() flips to True within ~1s of interrupt().
Second new test guards clear_interrupt() clearing tracked worker bits.
Validation: tests/run_agent/ all 762 pass; tests/tools/ interrupt+env
subset 216 pass.
* fix(interrupt-debug): bypass quiet_mode logger filter so trace reaches agent.log
AIAgent.__init__ sets logging.getLogger('tools').setLevel(ERROR) when
quiet_mode=True (the CLI default). This would silently swallow every
INFO-level trace line from the HERMES_DEBUG_INTERRUPT=1 instrumentation
added in the parent commit — confirmed by running hermes chat -q with
the flag and finding zero trace lines in agent.log even though
_wait_for_process was clearly executing (subprocess pid existed).
Fix: when HERMES_DEBUG_INTERRUPT=1, each traced module explicitly sets
its own logger level to INFO at import time, overriding the 'tools'
parent-level filter. Scoped to the opt-in case only, so production
(quiet_mode default) logs stay quiet as designed.
Validation: hermes chat -q with HERMES_DEBUG_INTERRUPT=1 now writes
'_wait_for_process ENTER/EXIT' lines to agent.log as expected.
* fix(cli): SIGTERM/SIGHUP no longer orphans tool subprocesses
Tool subprocesses spawned by the local environment backend use
os.setsid so they run in their own process group. Before this fix,
SIGTERM/SIGHUP to the hermes CLI killed the main thread via
KeyboardInterrupt but the worker thread running _wait_for_process
never got a chance to call _kill_process — Python exited, the child
was reparented to init (PPID=1), and the subprocess ran to its
natural end (confirmed live: sleep 300 survived 4+ min after SIGTERM
to the agent until manual cleanup).
Changes:
- cli.py _signal_handler (interactive) + _signal_handler_q (-q mode):
route SIGTERM/SIGHUP through agent.interrupt() so the worker's poll
loop sees the per-thread interrupt flag and calls _kill_process
(os.killpg) on the subprocess group. HERMES_SIGTERM_GRACE (default
1.5s) gives the worker time to complete its SIGTERM+SIGKILL
escalation before KeyboardInterrupt unwinds main.
- tools/environments/base.py _wait_for_process: wrap the poll loop in
try/except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit) so the cleanup fires
even on paths the signal handlers don't cover (direct sys.exit,
unhandled KI from nested code, etc.). Emits EXCEPTION_EXIT trace
line when HERMES_DEBUG_INTERRUPT=1.
- New regression test: injects KeyboardInterrupt into a running
_wait_for_process via PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc, verifies the
subprocess process group is dead within 3s of the exception and
that KeyboardInterrupt re-raises cleanly afterward.
Validation:
| Before | After |
|---------------------------------------------------------|--------------------|
| sleep 300 survives 4+ min as PPID=1 orphan after SIGTERM | dies within 2 s |
| No INTERRUPT DETECTED in trace | INTERRUPT DETECTED fires + killing process group |
| tests/tools/test_local_interrupt_cleanup | 1/1 pass |
| tests/run_agent/test_concurrent_interrupt | 4/4 pass |
Extend forum support from PR #10145:
- REST path (_send_discord): forum thread creation now uploads media
files as multipart attachments on the starter message in a single
call. Previously media files were silently dropped on the forum
path.
- Websocket media paths (_send_file_attachment, send_voice, send_image,
send_animation — covers send_image_file, send_video, send_document
transitively): forum channels now go through a new _forum_post_file
helper that creates a thread with the file as starter content,
instead of failing via channel.send(file=...) which forums reject.
- _send_to_forum chunk follow-up failures are collected into
raw_response['warnings'] so partial-send outcomes surface.
- Process-local probe cache (_DISCORD_CHANNEL_TYPE_PROBE_CACHE) avoids
GET /channels/{id} on every uncached send after the first.
- Dedup of TestSendDiscordMedia that the PR merge-resolution left
behind.
- Docs: Forum Channels section under website/docs/user-guide/messaging/discord.md.
Tests: 117 passed (22 new for forum+media, probe cache, warnings).
Follow-up to #11909: surface the legacy-unit warning where users are most
likely to see it. After a 'hermes update', if a pre-rename hermes.service
is still installed alongside the current hermes-gateway.service, print
the list of legacy units + the 'hermes gateway migrate-legacy' command.
Profile-safe: reuses _find_legacy_hermes_units() which is an explicit
allowlist of hermes.service only — profile units never match.
Platform-gated: only prints on systemd hosts (the rename is Linux-only).
Non-blocking: just prints, never prompts, so gateway-spawned
hermes update --gateway runs aren't affected.
* fix(gateway): detect legacy hermes.service units from pre-rename installs
Older Hermes installs used a different service name (hermes.service) before
the rename to hermes-gateway.service. When both units remain installed, they
fight over the same bot token — after PR #5646's signal-recovery change,
this manifests as a 30-second SIGTERM flap loop between the two services.
Detection is an explicit allowlist (no globbing) plus an ExecStart content
check, so profile units (hermes-gateway-<profile>.service) and unrelated
third-party services named 'hermes' are never matched.
Wired into systemd_install, systemd_status, gateway_setup wizard, and the
main hermes setup flow — anywhere we already warn about scope conflicts now
also warns about legacy units.
* feat(gateway): add migrate-legacy command + install-time removal prompt
- New hermes_cli.gateway.remove_legacy_hermes_units() removes legacy
unit files with stop → disable → unlink → daemon-reload. Handles user
and system scopes separately; system scope returns path list when not
running as root so the caller can tell the user to re-run with sudo.
- New 'hermes gateway migrate-legacy' subcommand (with --dry-run and -y)
routes to remove_legacy_hermes_units via gateway_command dispatch.
- systemd_install now offers to remove legacy units BEFORE installing
the new hermes-gateway.service, preventing the SIGTERM flap loop that
hits users who still have pre-rename hermes.service around.
Profile units (hermes-gateway-<profile>.service) remain untouched in
all paths — the legacy allowlist is explicit (_LEGACY_SERVICE_NAMES)
and the ExecStart content check further narrows matches.
* fix(gateway): mark --replace SIGTERM as planned so target exits 0
PR #5646 made SIGTERM exit the gateway with code 1 so systemd's
Restart=on-failure revives it after unexpected kills. But when a user has
two gateway units fighting for the same bot token (e.g. legacy
hermes.service + hermes-gateway.service from a pre-rename install), the
--replace takeover itself becomes the 'unexpected' SIGTERM — the loser
exits 1, systemd revives it 30s later, and the cycle flaps indefinitely.
Before calling terminate_pid(), --replace now writes a short-lived marker
file naming the target PID + start_time. The target's shutdown_signal_handler
consumes the marker and, when it names this process, leaves
_signal_initiated_shutdown=False so the final exit code stays 0.
Staleness defences:
- PID + start_time combo prevents PID reuse matching an old marker
- Marker older than 60s is treated as stale and discarded
- Marker is unlinked on first read even if it doesn't match this process
- Replacer clears the marker post-loop + on permission-denied give-up
Cherry-picked from #10985 by pedh, adapted to current main:
* Keeps main's full group-chat gating (require_mention + allowed_users +
free_response_chats + mention_patterns) — PR's simpler subset dropped.
* Keeps main's fire-and-forget process() dispatch + session_webhook
fallback for SDK >= 0.24.
* Picks up PR's REQUIRES_EDIT_FINALIZE capability flag on
BasePlatformAdapter + finalize kwarg on edit_message(), plumbed through
stream_consumer. Default False so Telegram/Slack/Discord/Matrix stay
on the zero-overhead fast path.
* DingTalk AI Card lifecycle: per-chat _message_contexts, two-card flow
(tool-progress + final response) with sibling auto-close driven by
reply_to, idempotent 🤔Thinking → 🥳Done swap, $alibabacloud-dingtalk$
for media URL resolution (replaces raw HTTP that was 403-ing).
* pyproject: dingtalk extra now dingtalk-stream>=0.20,<1 +
alibabacloud-dingtalk>=2.0.0 + qrcode.

ShellFileOperations captured the terminal env's cwd at __init__ time and
used that stale value for every subsequent _exec() call. When the user
ran `cd` via the terminal tool, `env.cwd` updated but `ops.cwd` did not.
Relative paths passed to patch_replace / read_file / write_file / search
then targeted the ORIGINAL directory instead of the current one.
Observed symptom in agent sessions:
terminal: cd .worktrees/my-branch
patch hermes_cli/main.py <old> <new>
→ returns {"success": true} with a plausible unified diff
→ but `git diff` in the worktree shows nothing
→ the patch landed in the main repo's checkout of main.py instead
The diff looked legitimate because patch_replace computes it from the
IN-MEMORY content vs new_content, not by re-reading the file. The
write itself DID succeed — it just wrote to the wrong directory's copy
of the same-named file.
Fix: _exec() now resolves cwd from live sources in this order:
1. Explicit `cwd` arg (if provided by the caller)
2. Live `self.env.cwd` (tracks `cd` commands run via terminal)
3. Init-time `self.cwd` (fallback when env has no cwd attribute)
Includes a 5-test regression suite covering:
- cd followed by relative read follows live cwd
- the exact reported bug: patch_replace with relative path after cd
- explicit cwd= arg still wins over env.cwd
- env without cwd attribute falls back to init-time cwd
- patch_replace success reflects real file state (safety rail)

persist_nous_credentials() now accepts an optional label kwarg which
gets embedded in providers.nous under the 'label' key.
_seed_from_singletons() prefers the embedded label over the
auto-derived label_from_token() fingerprint when materialising the
pool entry, so re-seeding on every load_pool('nous') preserves the
user's chosen label.
auth_commands.py threads --label through to the helper, restoring
parity with how other OAuth providers (anthropic, codex, google,
qwen) honor the flag.
Tests: 4 new (embed, reseed-survives, no-label fallback, end-to-end
through auth_add_command). All 390 nous/auth/credential_pool tests
pass.
Review feedback on the original commit: the helper wrote a pool entry
with source `manual:device_code` while `_seed_from_singletons()` upserts
with `device_code` (no `manual:` prefix), so the pool grew a duplicate
row on every `load_pool()` after login.
Normalise: the helper now writes `providers.nous` and delegates the pool
write entirely to `_seed_from_singletons()` via a follow-up
`load_pool()` call. The canonical source is `device_code`; the helper
never materialises a parallel `manual:device_code` entry.
- `persist_nous_credentials()` loses its `label` and `source` kwargs —
both are now derived by the seed path from the singleton state.
- CLI and web dashboard call sites simplified accordingly.
- New test `test_persist_nous_credentials_idempotent_no_duplicate_pool_entries`
asserts that two consecutive persists leave exactly one pool row and
no stray `manual:` entries.
- Existing `test_auth_add_nous_oauth_persists_pool_entry` updated to
assert the canonical source and single-entry invariant.

`hermes auth add nous --type oauth` only wrote credential_pool.nous,
leaving providers.nous empty. When the Nous agent_key's 24h TTL expired,
run_agent.py's 401-recovery path called resolve_nous_runtime_credentials
(which reads providers.nous), got AuthError "Hermes is not logged into
Nous Portal", caught it as logger.debug (suppressed at INFO level), and
the agent died with "Non-retryable client error" — no signal to the
user that recovery even tried.
Introduce persist_nous_credentials() as the single source of truth for
Nous device-code login persistence. Both auth_commands (CLI) and
web_server (dashboard) now route through it, so pool and providers
stay in sync at write time.
Why: CLI-provisioned profiles couldn't recover from agent_key expiry,
producing silent daily outages 24h after first login. PR #6856/#6869
addressed adjacent issues but assumed providers.nous was populated;
this one wasn't being written.

Before: aggregator users (OpenRouter / Nous Portal) running 'auto'
routing for auxiliary tasks — compression, vision, web extraction,
session search, etc. — got routed to a cheap provider-side default
model (Gemini Flash). Non-aggregator users already got their main
model. Behavior was inconsistent and surprising — users picked
Claude / GPT / their preferred model, but side tasks ran on
Gemini Flash.
After: 'auto' means "use my main chat model" for every user,
regardless of provider type. Only when the main provider has no
working client does the fallback chain run (OpenRouter → Nous →
custom → Codex → API-key providers). Explicit per-task overrides
in config.yaml (auxiliary.<task>.provider / .model) still win —
they are a hard constraint, not subject to the auto policy.
Vision auto-detection follows the same policy: try main provider +
main model first (with _PROVIDER_VISION_MODELS overrides preserved
for providers like xiaomi and zai that ship a dedicated multimodal
model distinct from their chat model). Aggregator strict vision
backends are fallbacks, not the primary path.
Changes:
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: _resolve_auto() drops the
`_AGGREGATOR_PROVIDERS` guard. resolve_vision_provider_client()
auto branch unifies aggregator and exotic-provider paths —
everyone goes through resolve_provider_client() with main_model.
Dead _AGGREGATOR_PROVIDERS constant removed (was only used by
the guard we just removed).
- hermes_cli/main.py: aux config menu copy updated to reflect
the new semantics ("'auto' means 'use my main model'").
- tests/agent/test_auxiliary_main_first.py: 12 regression tests
covering OpenRouter/Nous/DeepSeek main paths, runtime-override
wins, explicit-config wins, vision override preservation for
exotic providers, and fallback-chain activation when the main
provider has no working client.

Follow-up polish on top of the cherry-picked #11023 commit.
- feishu_comment_rules.py: replace import-time "~/.hermes" expanduser fallback
with get_hermes_home() from hermes_constants (canonical, profile-safe).
- tools/feishu_doc_tool.py, tools/feishu_drive_tool.py: drop the
asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(asyncio.to_thread(...)) dance.
Tool handlers run synchronously in a worker thread with no running loop, so
the RuntimeError branch was always the one that executed. Calls client.request
directly now. Unused asyncio import removed.
- tests/gateway/test_feishu.py: add register_p2_customized_event to the mock
EventDispatcher builder so the existing adapter test matches the new handler
registration for drive.notice.comment_add_v1.
- scripts/release.py: map liujinkun@bytedance.com -> liujinkun2025 for
contributor attribution on release notes.
- Full comment handler: parse drive.notice.comment_add_v1 events, build
timeline, run agent, deliver reply with chunking support.
- 5 tools: feishu_doc_read, feishu_drive_list_comments,
feishu_drive_list_comment_replies, feishu_drive_reply_comment,
feishu_drive_add_comment.
- 3-tier access control rules (exact doc > wildcard "*" > top-level >
defaults) with per-field fallback. Config via
~/.hermes/feishu_comment_rules.json, mtime-cached hot-reload.
- Self-reply filter using generalized self_open_id (supports future
user-identity subscriptions). Receiver check: only process events
where the bot is the @mentioned target.
- Smart timeline selection, long text chunking, semantic text extraction,
session sharing per document, wiki link resolution.

Follow-up to the cherry-picked contributor fix:
- Extract `_remember_chat_req_id()` and bound it at DEDUP_MAX_SIZE like
`_reply_req_ids` — the unbounded dict would grow forever on a long-
running gateway with many chats.
- Move the cache write to AFTER the group/DM policy check so we don't
cache req_ids from blocked senders.
- Revert the undocumented `is_group` change: the contributor flipped
`chattype == 'group'` to `bool(chatid)`, which wasn't mentioned in
the PR description and weakens the signal (chattype is the explicit
hint; relying on chatid presence assumes DMs never carry it). Keep
the original check.
- Drop the defensive `getattr(self, '_last_chat_req_ids', {})` reads
at both send sites — the attribute is initialized in __init__.
- Update `test_send_uses_passive_reply_stream_...` → `_markdown_...`
to match the new msgtype, and add a new TestWeComZombieSessionFix
class covering device_id presence in subscribe, per-chat req_id
caching + bounding, blocked-sender cache exclusion, and the group
APP_CMD_RESPONSE fallback path.
Previously users had to hand-edit config.yaml to route individual auxiliary
tasks (vision, compression, web_extract, etc.) to a specific provider+model.
Add a first-class picker reachable from the bottom of the existing `hermes
model` provider list.
Flow:
hermes model
→ Configure auxiliary models...
→ <task picker: 9 tasks, shows current setting inline>
→ <provider picker: authenticated providers + auto + custom>
→ <model picker: curated list + live pricing>
The aux picker does NOT re-run credential/OAuth setup; users authenticate
providers through the normal `hermes model` flow, then route aux tasks to
them here. `list_authenticated_providers()` gates the list to providers
the user has configured.
Also:
- 'Cancel' entry relabeled 'Leave unchanged' (sentinel still 'cancel'
internally, so dispatch logic is unchanged)
- 'Reset all to auto' entry to bulk-clear aux overrides; preserves
user-tuned timeout / download_timeout values
- Adds `title_generation` task to DEFAULT_CONFIG.auxiliary — the task
was called from agent/title_generator.py but was missing from defaults,
so config-backed timeout overrides never worked for it

Both fixes close process leaks observed in production (18+ orphaned
agent-browser node daemons, 15+ orphaned paste.rs sleep interpreters
accumulated over ~3 days, ~2.7 GB RSS).
## agent-browser daemon leak
Previously the orphan reaper (_reap_orphaned_browser_sessions) only ran
from _start_browser_cleanup_thread, which is only invoked on the first
browser tool call in a process. Hermes sessions that never used the
browser never swept orphans, and the cross-process orphan detection
relied on in-process _active_sessions, which doesn't see other hermes
PIDs' sessions (race risk).
- Write <session>.owner_pid alongside the socket dir recording the
hermes PID that owns the daemon (extracted into _write_owner_pid for
direct testability).
- Reaper prefers owner_pid liveness over in-process _active_sessions.
Cross-process safe: concurrent hermes instances won't reap each
other's daemons. Legacy tracked_names fallback kept for daemons
that predate owner_pid.
- atexit handler (_emergency_cleanup_all_sessions) now always runs
the reaper, not just when this process had active sessions —
every clean hermes exit sweeps accumulated orphans.
## paste.rs auto-delete leak
_schedule_auto_delete spawned a detached Python subprocess per call
that slept 6 hours then issued DELETE requests. No dedup, no tracking —
every 'hermes debug share' invocation added ~20 MB of resident Python
interpreters that stuck around until the sleep finished.
- Replaced the spawn with ~/.hermes/pastes/pending.json: records
{url, expire_at} entries.
- _sweep_expired_pastes() synchronously DELETEs past-due entries on
every 'hermes debug' invocation (run_debug() dispatcher).
- Network failures stay in pending.json for up to 24h, then give up
(paste.rs's own retention handles the 'user never runs hermes again'
edge case).
- Zero subprocesses; regression test asserts subprocess/Popen/time.sleep
never appear in the function source (skipping docstrings via AST).
## Validation
| | Before | After |
|------------------------------|---------------|--------------|
| Orphan agent-browser daemons | 18 accumulated| 2 (live) |
| paste.rs sleep interpreters | 15 accumulated| 0 |
| RSS reclaimed | - | ~2.7 GB |
| Targeted tests | - | 2253 pass |
E2E verified: alive-owner daemons NOT reaped; dead-owner daemons
SIGTERM'd and socket dirs cleaned; pending.json sweep deletes expired
entries without spawning subprocesses.
Two accretion-over-time leaks that compound over long CLI / gateway
lifetimes. Both were flagged in the memory-leak audit.
## file_tools._read_tracker
_read_tracker[task_id] holds three sub-containers that grew unbounded:
read_history set of (path, offset, limit) tuples — 1 per unique read
dedup dict of (path, offset, limit) → mtime — same growth pattern
read_timestamps dict of resolved_path → mtime — 1 per unique path
A CLI session uses one stable task_id for its lifetime, so these were
uncapped. A 10k-read session accumulated ~1.5MB of tracker state that
the tool no longer needed (only the most recent reads are relevant for
dedup, consecutive-loop detection, and write/patch external-edit
warnings).
Fix: _cap_read_tracker_data() enforces hard caps on each container
after every add. Defaults: read_history=500, dedup=1000,
read_timestamps=1000. Eviction is insertion-order (Python 3.7+ dict
guarantee) for the dicts; arbitrary for the set (which only feeds
diagnostic summaries).
## process_registry._completion_consumed
Module-level set that recorded every session_id ever polled / waited /
logged. No pruning. Each entry is ~20 bytes, so the absolute leak is
small, but on a gateway processing thousands of background commands
per day the set grows until process exit.
Fix: _prune_if_needed() now discards _completion_consumed entries
alongside the session dict evictions it already performs (both the
TTL-based prune and the LRU-over-cap prune). Adds a final
belt-and-suspenders pass that drops any dangling entries whose
session_id no longer appears in _running or _finished.
Tests: tests/tools/test_accretion_caps.py — 9 cases
* Each container bound respected, oldest evicted
* No-op when under cap (no unnecessary work)
* Handles missing sub-containers without crashing
* Live read_file_tool path enforces caps end-to-end
* _completion_consumed pruned on TTL expiry
* _completion_consumed pruned on LRU eviction
* Dangling entries (no backing session) cleared
Broader suite: 3486 tests/tools + tests/cli pass. The single flake
(test_alias_command_passes_args) reproduces on unchanged main — known
cross-test pollution under suite-order load.
Google-side 429 Code Assist errors now flow through Hermes' normal rate-limit
path (status_code on the exception, Retry-After preserved via error.response)
instead of being opaque RuntimeErrors. User sees a one-line capacity message
instead of a 500-char JSON dump.
Changes
- CodeAssistError grows status_code / response / retry_after / details attrs.
_extract_status_code in error_classifier picks up status_code and classifies
429 as FailoverReason.rate_limit, so fallback_providers triggers the same
way it does for SDK errors. run_agent.py line ~10428 already walks
error.response.headers for Retry-After — preserving the response means that
path just works.
- _gemini_http_error parses the Google error envelope (error.status +
error.details[].reason from google.rpc.ErrorInfo, retryDelay from
google.rpc.RetryInfo). MODEL_CAPACITY_EXHAUSTED / RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED / 404
model-not-found each produce a human-readable message; unknown shapes fall
back to the previous raw-body format.
- Drop gemma-4-26b-it from hermes_cli/models.py, hermes_cli/setup.py, and
agent/model_metadata.py — Google returned 404 for it today in local repro.
Kept gemma-4-31b-it (capacity-constrained but not retired).
Validation
| | Before | After |
|---------------------------|--------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
| Error message | 'Code Assist returned HTTP 429: {500 chars JSON}' | 'Gemini capacity exhausted for gemini-2.5-pro (Google-side throttle...)' |
| status_code on error | None (opaque RuntimeError) | 429 |
| Classifier reason | unknown (string-match fallback) | FailoverReason.rate_limit |
| Retry-After honored | ignored | extracted from RetryInfo or header |
| gemma-4-26b-it picker | advertised (404s on Google) | removed |
Unit + E2E tests cover non-streaming 429, streaming 429, 404 model-not-found,
Retry-After header fallback, malformed body, and classifier integration.
Targeted suites: tests/agent/test_gemini_cloudcode.py (81 tests), full
tests/hermes_cli (2203 tests) green.

Follow-up to WideLee's salvaged PR #11582.
Back-compat for QQ_HOME_CHANNEL → QQBOT_HOME_CHANNEL rename:
- gateway/config.py reads QQBOT_HOME_CHANNEL, falls back to QQ_HOME_CHANNEL
with a one-shot deprecation warning so users on the old name aren't
silently broken.
- cron/scheduler.py: _HOME_TARGET_ENV_VARS['qqbot'] now maps to the new
name; _get_home_target_chat_id falls back to the legacy name via a
_LEGACY_HOME_TARGET_ENV_VARS table.
- hermes_cli/status.py + hermes_cli/setup.py: honor both names when
displaying or checking for missing home channels.
- hermes_cli/config.py: keep legacy QQ_HOME_CHANNEL[_NAME] in
_EXTRA_ENV_KEYS so .env sanitization still recognizes them.
Scope cleanup:
- Drop qrcode from core dependencies and requirements.txt (remains in
messaging/dingtalk/feishu extras). _qqbot_render_qr already degrades
gracefully when qrcode is missing, printing a 'pip install qrcode' tip
and falling back to URL-only display.
- Restore @staticmethod on QQAdapter._detect_message_type (it doesn't
use self). Revert the test change that was only needed when it was
converted to an instance method.
- Reset uv.lock to origin/main; the PR's stale lock also included
unrelated changes (atroposlib source URL, hermes-agent version bump,
fastapi additions) that don't belong.
Verified E2E:
- Existing user (QQ_HOME_CHANNEL set): gateway + cron both pick up the
legacy name; deprecation warning logs once.
- Fresh user (QQBOT_HOME_CHANNEL set): gateway + cron use new name,
no warning.
- Both set: new name wins on both surfaces.
Targeted tests: 296 passed, 4 skipped (qqbot + cron + hermes_cli).
- Re-export _ssrf_redirect_guard from __init__.py
- Fix _parse_json @staticmethod using self._log_tag
- Update test_detect_message_type to call as instance method
- Fix mock.patch path for httpx.AsyncClient in adapter submodule
Three closely-related fixes for shutdown / lifecycle hygiene.
1. _release_running_agent_state(session_key) helper
----------------------------------------------------
Per-running-agent state lived in three dicts that drifted out of sync
across cleanup sites:
self._running_agents — AIAgent per session_key
self._running_agents_ts — start timestamp per session_key
self._busy_ack_ts — last busy-ack timestamp per session_key
Inventory before this PR:
8 sites: del self._running_agents[key]
— only 1 (stale-eviction) cleaned all three
— 1 cleaned _running_agents + _running_agents_ts only
— 6 cleaned _running_agents only
Each missed entry was a (str, float) tuple per session per gateway
lifetime — small, persistent, accumulates across thousands of
sessions over months. Per-platform leaks compounded.
This change adds a single helper that pops all three dicts in
lockstep, and replaces every bare 'del self._running_agents[key]'
site with it. Per-session state that PERSISTS across turns
(_session_model_overrides, _voice_mode, _pending_approvals,
_update_prompt_pending) is intentionally NOT touched here — those
have their own lifecycles tied to user actions, not turn boundaries.
2. _running_agents_ts cleared in _stop_impl
----------------------------------------
Was being missed alongside _running_agents.clear(); now included.
3. SessionDB close() in _stop_impl
---------------------------------
The SQLite WAL write lock stayed held by the old gateway connection
until Python actually exited — causing 'database is locked' errors
when --replace launched a new gateway against the same file. We
now explicitly close both self._db and self.session_store._db
inside _stop_impl, with try/except so a flaky close on one doesn't
block the other.
Tests
-----
tests/gateway/test_session_state_cleanup.py — 10 cases covering:
* helper pops all three dicts atomically
* idempotent on missing/empty keys
* preserves other sessions
* tolerates older runners without _busy_ack_ts attribute
* thread-safe under concurrent release
* regression guard: scans gateway/run.py and fails if a future
contributor reintroduces 'del self._running_agents[...]'
outside docstrings
* SessionDB close called on both holders during shutdown
* shutdown tolerates missing session_store
* shutdown tolerates close() raising on one db (other still closes)
Broader gateway suite: 3108 passed (vs 3100 on baseline) — failure
delta is +8 net passes; the 10 remaining failures are pre-existing
cross-test pollution / missing optional deps (matrix needs olm,
signal/telegram approval flake, dingtalk Mock wiring), all reproduce
on stashed baseline.
Telegram's MarkdownV2 has no table syntax — pipes get backslash-escaped
and tables render as noisy unaligned text. format_message now detects
GFM-style pipe tables (header row + delimiter row + optional body) and
wraps them in ``` fences before the existing MarkdownV2 conversion runs.
Telegram renders fenced code blocks as monospace preformatted text with
columns intact.
Tables already inside an existing code block are left alone. Plain
prose with pipes, lone '---' horizontal rules, and non-table content
are unaffected.
Closes the recurring community request to stop having to ask the agent
to re-render tables as code blocks manually.
Cuts shard-3 local runtime in half by neutralizing real wall-clock
waits across three classes of slow test:
## 1. Retry backoff mocks
- tests/run_agent/conftest.py (NEW): autouse fixture mocks
jittered_backoff to 0.0 so the `while time.time() < sleep_end`
busy-loop exits immediately. No global time.sleep mock (would
break threading tests).
- test_anthropic_error_handling, test_413_compression,
test_run_agent_codex_responses, test_fallback_model: per-file
fixtures mock time.sleep / asyncio.sleep for retry / compression
paths.
- test_retaindb_plugin: cap the retaindb module's bound time.sleep
to 0.05s via a per-test shim (background writer-thread retries
sleep 2s after errors; tests don't care about exact duration).
Plus replace arbitrary time.sleep(N) waits with short polling
loops bounded by deadline.
## 2. Subprocess sleeps in production code
- test_update_gateway_restart: mock time.sleep. Production code
does time.sleep(3) after `systemctl restart` to verify the
service survived. Tests mock subprocess.run \u2014 nothing actually
restarts \u2014 so the wait is dead time.
## 3. Network / IMDS timeouts (biggest single win)
- tests/conftest.py: add AWS_EC2_METADATA_DISABLED=true plus
AWS_METADATA_SERVICE_TIMEOUT=1 and ATTEMPTS=1. boto3 falls back
to IMDS (169.254.169.254) when no AWS creds are set. Any test
hitting has_aws_credentials() / resolve_aws_auth_env_var() (e.g.
test_status, test_setup_copilot_acp, anything that touches
provider auto-detect) burned ~2-4s waiting for that to time out.
- test_exit_cleanup_interrupt: explicitly mock
resolve_runtime_provider which was doing real network auto-detect
(~4s). Tests don't care about provider resolution \u2014 the agent
is already mocked.
- test_timezone: collapse the 3-test "TZ env in subprocess" suite
into 2 tests by checking both injection AND no-leak in the same
subprocess spawn (was 3 \u00d7 3.2s, now 2 \u00d7 4s).
## Validation
| Test | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| test_anthropic_error_handling (8 tests) | ~80s | ~15s |
| test_413_compression (14 tests) | ~18s | 2.3s |
| test_retaindb_plugin (67 tests) | ~13s | 1.3s |
| test_status_includes_tavily_key | 4.0s | 0.05s |
| test_setup_copilot_acp_skips_same_provider_pool_step | 8.0s | 0.26s |
| test_update_gateway_restart (5 tests) | ~18s total | ~0.35s total |
| test_exit_cleanup_interrupt (2 tests) | 8s | 1.5s |
| **Matrix shard 3 local** | **108s** | **50s** |
No behavioral contract changed \u2014 tests still verify retry happens,
service restart logic runs, etc.; they just don't burn real seconds
waiting for it.
Supersedes PR #11779 (those changes are included here).
SessionStore._entries grew unbounded. Every unique
(platform, chat_id, thread_id, user_id) tuple ever seen was kept in
RAM and rewritten to sessions.json on every message. A Discord bot
in 100 servers x 100 channels x ~100 rotating users accumulates on
the order of 10^5 entries after a few months; each sessions.json
write becomes an O(n) fsync. Nothing trimmed this — there was no
TTL, no cap, no eviction path.
Changes
-------
* SessionStore.prune_old_entries(max_age_days) — drops entries whose
updated_at is older than the cutoff. Preserves:
- suspended entries (user paused them via /stop for later resume)
- entries with an active background process attached
Pruning is functionally identical to a natural reset-policy expiry:
SQLite transcript stays, session_key -> session_id mapping dropped,
returning user gets a fresh session.
* GatewayConfig.session_store_max_age_days (default 90; 0 disables).
Serialized in to_dict/from_dict, coerced from bad types / negatives
to safe defaults. No migration needed — missing field -> 90 days.
* _session_expiry_watcher calls prune_old_entries once per hour
(first tick is immediate). Uses the existing watcher loop so no
new background task is created.
Why not more aggressive
-----------------------
90 days is long enough that legitimate long-idle users (seasonal,
vacation, etc.) aren't surprised — pruning just means they get a
fresh session on return, same outcome they'd get from any other
reset-policy trigger. Admins can lower it via config; 0 disables.
Tests
-----
tests/gateway/test_session_store_prune.py — 17 cases covering:
* entry age based on updated_at, not created_at
* max_age_days=0 disables; negative coerces to 0
* suspended + active-process entries are skipped
* _save fires iff something was removed
* disk JSON reflects post-prune state
* thread safety against concurrent readers
* config field roundtrips + graceful fallback on bad values
* watcher gate logic (first tick prunes, subsequent within 1h don't)
119 broader session/gateway tests remain green.
Follow-up on the native NVIDIA NIM provider salvage. The original PR wired
PROVIDER_REGISTRY + HERMES_OVERLAYS correctly but missed several touchpoints
required for full parity with other OpenAI-compatible providers (xai,
huggingface, deepseek, zai).
Gaps closed:
- hermes_cli/main.py:
- Add 'nvidia' to the _model_flow_api_key_provider dispatch tuple so
selecting 'NVIDIA NIM' in `hermes model` actually runs the api-key
provider flow (previously fell through silently).
- Add 'nvidia' to `hermes chat --provider` argparse choices so the
documented test command (`hermes chat --provider nvidia --model ...`)
parses successfully.
- hermes_cli/config.py: Register NVIDIA_API_KEY and NVIDIA_BASE_URL in
OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS so setup wizard can prompt for them and they're
auto-added to the subprocess env blocklist.
- hermes_cli/doctor.py: Add NVIDIA NIM row to `_apikey_providers` so
`hermes doctor` probes https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1/models.
- hermes_cli/dump.py: Add NVIDIA_API_KEY → 'nvidia' mapping for
`hermes dump` credential masking.
- tests/tools/test_local_env_blocklist.py: Extend registry_vars fixture
with NVIDIA_API_KEY to verify it's blocked from leaking into subprocesses.
- agent/model_metadata.py: Add 'nemotron' → 131072 context-length entry
so all Nemotron variants get 128K context via substring match (rather
than falling back to MINIMUM_CONTEXT_LENGTH).
- hermes_cli/models.py: Fix hallucinated model ID
'nvidia/nemotron-3-nano-8b-a4b' → 'nvidia/nemotron-3-nano-30b-a3b'
(verified against live integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1/models catalog).
Expand curated list from 5 to 9 agentic models mapping to OpenRouter
defaults per provider-guide convention: add qwen3.5-397b-a17b,
deepseek-v3.2, llama-3.3-nemotron-super-49b-v1.5, gpt-oss-120b.
- cli-config.yaml.example: Document 'nvidia' provider option.
- scripts/release.py: Map asurla@nvidia.com → anniesurla in AUTHOR_MAP
for CI attribution.
E2E verified: `hermes chat --provider nvidia ...` now reaches NVIDIA's
endpoint (returns 401 with bogus key instead of argparse error);
`hermes doctor` detects NVIDIA NIM when NVIDIA_API_KEY is set.
Adds NVIDIA NIM as a first-class provider: ProviderConfig in
auth.py, HermesOverlay in providers.py, curated models
(Nemotron plus other open source models hosted on
build.nvidia.com), URL mapping in model_metadata.py, aliases
(nim, nvidia-nim, build-nvidia, nemotron), and env var tests.
Docs updated: providers page, quickstart table, fallback
providers table, and README provider list.
#4b1567f4 (anthhub) added qrcode to the messaging extra for Weixin's
QR login. The same package is needed by:
* hermes_cli/dingtalk_auth.py — QR device-flow auth shipped in #11574
* gateway/platforms/feishu.py:3962 — Feishu QR login
These extras are independent of [messaging] (users can install
hermes-agent[dingtalk] or hermes-agent[feishu] without [messaging]),
so the dep needs to be declared on each.
Pin matches anthhub's choice (>=7.0,<8) for consistency. The all
extra inherits from all three, so it picks up qrcode transitively.
Adds parallel tests to tests/test_project_metadata.py — same shape
as test_messaging_extra_includes_qrcode_for_weixin_setup.
Refs #9431.
Byte-level reasoning models (xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro, kimi, glm) can emit lone
surrogates in reasoning output. The proactive sanitizer walked content/
name/tool_calls but not extra fields like reasoning or the nested
reasoning_details array. Surrogates in those fields survived the
proactive pass, crashed json.dumps() in the OpenAI SDK, and the recovery
block's _sanitize_messages_surrogates(messages) call also didn't check
those fields — so 'found' was False, no retry happened, and after 3
attempts the user saw:
API call failed after 3 retries. 'utf-8' codec can't encode characters
in position N-M: surrogates not allowed
Changes:
- _sanitize_messages_surrogates: walk any extra string fields (reasoning,
reasoning_content, etc.) and recurse into nested dict/list values
(reasoning_details). Mirrors _sanitize_messages_non_ascii coverage
added in PR #10537.
- _sanitize_structure_surrogates: new recursive walker, mirror of
_sanitize_structure_non_ascii but for surrogate recovery.
- UnicodeEncodeError recovery block: also sanitize api_messages,
api_kwargs, and prefill_messages (not just the canonical messages
list — the API-copy carries reasoning_content transformed from
reasoning and that's what the SDK actually serializes). Always
retry on detected surrogate errors, not only when we found
something to strip — gate on error type per PR #10537's pattern.
Tests: extended tests/cli/test_surrogate_sanitization.py with
coverage for reasoning, reasoning_content, reasoning_details (flat
and deeply nested), structure walker, and an integration case that
reproduces the exact api_messages shape that was crashing.
* fix(tests): make AIAgent constructor calls self-contained (no env leakage)
Tests in tests/run_agent/ were constructing AIAgent() without passing
both api_key and base_url, then relying on leaked state from other
tests in the same xdist worker (or process-level env vars) to keep
provider resolution happy. Under hermetic conftest + pytest-split,
that state is gone and the tests fail with 'No LLM provider configured'.
Fix: pass both api_key and base_url explicitly on 47 AIAgent()
construction sites across 13 files. AIAgent.__init__ with both set
takes the direct-construction path (line 960 in run_agent.py) and
skips the resolver entirely.
One call site (test_none_base_url_passed_as_none) left alone — that
test asserts behavior for base_url=None specifically.
This is a prerequisite for any future matrix-split or stricter
isolation work, and lands cleanly on its own.
Validation:
- tests/run_agent/ full: 760 passed, 0 failed (local)
- Previously relied on cross-test pollution; now self-contained
* fix(tests): update opencode-go model order assertion to match kimi-k2.5-first
commit 78a74bb promoted kimi-k2.5 to first position in model suggestion
lists but didn't update this test, which has been failing on main since.
Reorder expected list to match the new canonical order.
- tui_gateway: new `setup.status` RPC that reuses CLI's
`_has_any_provider_configured()`, so the TUI can ask the same question
the CLI bootstrap asks before launching a session
- useSessionLifecycle: preflight `setup.status` before both `newSession`
and `resumeById`, and render a clear "Setup Required" panel when no
provider is configured instead of booting a session that immediately
fails with `agent init failed`
- createGatewayEventHandler: drop duplicate startup resume logic in
favor of the preflighted `resumeById`, and special-case the
no-provider agent-init error as a last-mile fallback to the same
setup panel
- add regression tests for both paths
- tui_gateway: route approvals through gateway callback (HERMES_GATEWAY_SESSION/
HERMES_EXEC_ASK) so dangerous commands emit approval.request instead of
silently falling through the CLI input() path and auto-denying
- approval UX: dedicated PromptZone between transcript and composer, safer
defaults (sel=0, numeric quick-picks, no Esc=deny), activity trail line,
outcome footer under the cost row
- text input: Ctrl+A select-all, real forward Delete, Ctrl+W always consumed
(fixes Ctrl+Backspace at cursor 0 inserting literal w)
- hermes-ink selection: swap synchronous onRender() for throttled
scheduleRender() on drag, and only notify React subscribers on presence
change — no more per-cell paint/subscribe spam
- useConfigSync: silence config.get polling failures instead of surfacing
'error: timeout: config.get' in the transcript
Previously a message like `<@&1490963422786093149> help` would spawn a
thread literally named `<@&1490963422786093149> help`, exposing raw
Discord mention markers in the thread list. Only user mentions
(`<@id>`) were being stripped upstream — role mentions (`<@&id>`) and
channel mentions (`<#id>`) leaked through.
Fix: strip all three mention patterns in `_auto_create_thread` before
building the thread name. Collapse runs of whitespace left by the
removal. If the entire content was mention-only, fall back to 'Hermes'
instead of an empty title.
Fixes#6336.
Tests: two new regression guards in test_discord_slash_commands.py
covering mixed-mention content and mention-only content.
Free-response channels already bypassed the @mention gate so users could
chat inline with the bot, but auto-threading still fired on every
message — spinning off a thread per message and defeating the
lightweight-chat purpose.
Fix: fold `is_free_channel` into `skip_thread` so threading is skipped
whenever the channel is in DISCORD_FREE_RESPONSE_CHANNELS (via env or
discord.free_response_channels in config.yaml).
Net change: one line in _handle_message + one regression test.
Partially addresses #9399. Authored by @Hypn0sis (salvaged from PR #9650;
the bundled 'smart' auto-thread mode from that PR was dropped in favor
of deterministic true/false semantics).
* fix(gateway): bound _agent_cache with LRU cap + idle TTL eviction
The per-session AIAgent cache was unbounded. Each cached AIAgent holds
LLM clients, tool schemas, memory providers, and a conversation buffer.
In a long-lived gateway serving many chats/threads, cached agents
accumulated indefinitely — entries were only evicted on /new, /model,
or session reset.
Changes:
- Cache is now an OrderedDict so we can pop least-recently-used entries.
- _enforce_agent_cache_cap() pops entries beyond _AGENT_CACHE_MAX_SIZE=64
when a new agent is inserted. LRU order is refreshed via move_to_end()
on cache hits.
- _sweep_idle_cached_agents() evicts entries whose AIAgent has been idle
longer than _AGENT_CACHE_IDLE_TTL_SECS=3600s. Runs from the existing
_session_expiry_watcher so no new background task is created.
- The expiry watcher now also pops the cache entry after calling
_cleanup_agent_resources on a flushed session — previously the agent
was shut down but its reference stayed in the cache dict.
- Evicted agents have _cleanup_agent_resources() called on a daemon
thread so the cache lock isn't held during slow teardown.
Both tuning constants live at module scope so tests can monkeypatch
them without touching class state.
Tests: 7 new cases in test_agent_cache.py covering LRU eviction,
move_to_end refresh, cleanup thread dispatch, idle TTL sweep,
defensive handling of agents without _last_activity_ts, and plain-dict
test fixture tolerance.
* tweak: bump _AGENT_CACHE_MAX_SIZE 64 -> 128
* fix(gateway): never evict mid-turn agents; live spillover tests
The prior commit could tear down an active agent if its session_key
happened to be LRU when the cap was exceeded. AIAgent.close() kills
process_registry entries for the task, tears down the terminal
sandbox, closes the OpenAI client (sets self.client = None), and
cascades .close() into any active child subagents — all fatal if
the agent is still processing a turn.
Changes:
- _enforce_agent_cache_cap and _sweep_idle_cached_agents now look at
GatewayRunner._running_agents and skip any entry whose AIAgent
instance is present (identity via id(), so MagicMock doesn't
confuse lookup in tests). _AGENT_PENDING_SENTINEL is treated
as 'not active' since no real agent exists yet.
- Eviction only considers the LRU-excess window (first size-cap
entries). If an excess slot is held by a mid-turn agent, we skip
it WITHOUT compensating by evicting a newer entry. A freshly
inserted session (zero cache history) shouldn't be punished to
protect a long-lived one that happens to be busy.
- Cache may therefore stay transiently over cap when load spikes;
a WARNING is logged so operators can see it, and the next insert
re-runs the check after some turns have finished.
New tests (TestAgentCacheActiveSafety + TestAgentCacheSpilloverLive):
- Active LRU entry is skipped; no newer entry compensated
- Mixed active/idle excess window: only idle slots go
- All-active cache: no eviction, WARNING logged, all clients intact
- _AGENT_PENDING_SENTINEL doesn't block other evictions
- Idle-TTL sweep skips active agents
- End-to-end: active agent's .client survives eviction attempt
- Live fill-to-cap with real AIAgents, then spillover
- Live: CAP=4 all active + 1 newcomer — cache grows to 5, no teardown
- Live: 8 threads racing 160 inserts into CAP=16 — settles at 16
- Live: evicted session's next turn gets a fresh agent that works
30 tests pass (13 pre-existing + 17 new). Related gateway suites
(model switch, session reset, proxy, etc.) all green.
* fix(gateway): cache eviction preserves per-task state for session resume
The prior commits called AIAgent.close() on cache-evicted agents, which
tears down process_registry entries, terminal sandbox, and browser
daemon for that task_id — permanently. Fine for session-expiry (session
ended), wrong for cache eviction (session may resume).
Real-world scenario: a user leaves a Telegram session open for 2+ hours,
idle TTL evicts the cached AIAgent, user returns and sends a message.
Conversation history is preserved via SessionStore, but their terminal
sandbox (cwd, env vars, bg shells) and browser state were destroyed.
Fix: split the two cleanup modes.
close() Full teardown — session ended. Kills bg procs,
tears down terminal sandbox + browser daemon,
closes LLM client. Used by session-expiry,
/new, /reset (unchanged).
release_clients() Soft cleanup — session may resume. Closes
LLM client only. Leaves process_registry,
terminal sandbox, browser daemon intact
for the resuming agent to inherit via
shared task_id.
Gateway cache eviction (_enforce_agent_cache_cap, _sweep_idle_cached_agents)
now dispatches _release_evicted_agent_soft on the daemon thread instead
of _cleanup_agent_resources. All session-expiry call sites of
_cleanup_agent_resources are unchanged.
Tests (TestAgentCacheIdleResume, 5 new cases):
- release_clients does NOT call process_registry.kill_all
- release_clients does NOT call cleanup_vm / cleanup_browser
- release_clients DOES close the LLM client (agent.client is None after)
- close() vs release_clients() — semantic contract pinned
- Idle-evicted session's rebuild with same session_id gets same task_id
Updated test_cap_triggers_cleanup_thread to assert the soft path fires
and the hard path does NOT.
35 tests pass in test_agent_cache.py; 67 related tests green.
Match the row-budget naming introduced in PR #11260 for the approval and
clarify panels: rename chrome_reserve=14 into reserved_below=6 (input
chrome below the panel) + panel_chrome=6 (this panel's borders, blanks,
and hint row) + min_visible=3 (floor on visible items). Same arithmetic
as before, but a reviewer reading both files now sees the same handle.
Compact-chrome mode is intentionally not adopted — that pattern fits the
"fixed mandatory content might overflow" shape of approval/clarify
(solved by truncating with a marker), whereas the picker's overflow is
already handled by the scrolling viewport.
The /model picker rendered every choice into a prompt_toolkit Window
with no max height. Providers with many models (e.g. Ollama Cloud's 36+)
overflowed the terminal, clipping the bottom border and the last items.
- Add HermesCLI._compute_model_picker_viewport() to slide a scroll
offset that keeps the cursor on screen, sized from the live terminal
rows minus chrome reserved for input/status/border.
- Render only the visible slice in _get_model_picker_display() and
persist the offset on _model_picker_state across redraws.
- Bind ESC (eager) to close the picker, matching the Cancel button.
- Cover the viewport math with 8 unit tests in
tests/hermes_cli/test_model_picker_viewport.py.
Cron origin fallback extension (builds on #9193's _HOME_TARGET_ENV_VARS):
adds the three remaining origin-fallback-eligible platforms that have
home channel env vars configured in gateway/config.py but use non-generic
env var names:
- email → EMAIL_HOME_ADDRESS (non-standard suffix)
- dingtalk → DINGTALK_HOME_CHANNEL
- qqbot → QQ_HOME_CHANNEL (non-standard prefix: QQ_ not QQBOT_)
Picks up the completeness intent of @Xowiek's PR #11317 using the
architecturally-correct dict-based lookup from #9193, so platforms with
non-standard env var names actually resolve instead of silently missing.
Extended the parametrized regression test to cover the new three.
Weixin test mock alignment (builds on #10091's _send_session split):
Three test sites added in Batch 1 (TestWeixinSendImageFileParameterName)
and Batch 3 (TestWeixinVoiceSending) mocked only adapter._session, but
#10091 switched the send paths to check self._send_session. Added the
companion setter so the tests stay green with the session split in place.
- gateway/platforms/weixin.py:
- Split aiohttp.ClientSession into _poll_session and _send_session
- Add _LIVE_ADAPTERS registry so send_weixin_direct() reuses the connected gateway adapter instead of creating a competing session
- Fixes silent message loss when gateway is running (iLink token contention)
- cron/scheduler.py:
- Support comma-separated deliver values (e.g. 'feishu,weixin') for multi-target delivery
- Delay pconfig/enabled check until standalone fallback so live adapters work even when platform is not in gateway config
- tools/send_message_tool.py:
- Synthesize PlatformConfig from WEIXIN_* env vars when gateway config lacks a weixin entry
- Fall back to WEIXIN_HOME_CHANNEL env var for home channel resolution
- tests/gateway/test_weixin.py:
- Update mocks to include _send_session
Follow-ups to the salvaged commits in this PR:
* gateway/config.py — strip trailing whitespace from youngDoo's diff
(line 315 had ~140 trailing spaces).
* hermes_cli/tools_config.py — replace `config.get("platform_toolsets", {})`
with `config.get("platform_toolsets") or {}`. Handles the case where the
YAML key is present but explicitly null (parses as None, previously
crashed with AttributeError on the next line's .get(platform)).
Cherry-picked from yyq4193's #9003 with attribution.
* tests/gateway/test_config.py — 4 new tests for TestGetConnectedPlatforms
covering DingTalk via extras, via env vars, disabled, and missing creds.
* tests/hermes_cli/test_tools_config.py — regression test for the null
platform_toolsets edge case.
* scripts/release.py — add kagura-agent, youngDoo, yyq4193 to AUTHOR_MAP.

Fixes#11463: DingTalk channel receives messages but fails to reply
with 'No session_webhook available'.
Two changes:
1. **Fire-and-forget message processing**: process() now dispatches
_on_message as a background task via asyncio.create_task instead of
awaiting it. This ensures the SDK ACK is returned immediately,
preventing heartbeat timeouts and disconnections when message
processing takes longer than the SDK's ACK deadline.
2. **session_webhook extraction fallback**: If ChatbotMessage.from_dict()
fails to map the sessionWebhook field (possible across SDK versions),
the handler now falls back to extracting it directly from the raw
callback data dict using both 'sessionWebhook' and 'session_webhook'
key variants.
Added 3 tests covering webhook extraction, fallback behavior, and
fire-and-forget ACK timing.
* test: make test env hermetic; enforce CI parity via scripts/run_tests.sh
Fixes the recurring 'works locally, fails in CI' (and vice versa) class
of flakes by making tests hermetic and providing a canonical local runner
that matches CI's environment.
## Layer 1 — hermetic conftest.py (tests/conftest.py)
Autouse fixture now unsets every credential-shaped env var before every
test, so developer-local API keys can't leak into tests that assert
'auto-detect provider when key present'.
Pattern: unset any var ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _PASSWORD,
_CREDENTIALS, _ACCESS_KEY, _PRIVATE_KEY, etc. Plus an explicit list of
credential names that don't fit the suffix pattern (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
FAL_KEY, GH_TOKEN, etc.) and all the provider BASE_URL overrides that
change auto-detect behavior.
Also unsets HERMES_* behavioral vars (HERMES_YOLO_MODE, HERMES_QUIET,
HERMES_SESSION_*, etc.) that mutate agent behavior.
Also:
- Redirects HOME to a per-test tempdir (not just HERMES_HOME), so
code reading ~/.hermes/* directly can't touch the real dir.
- Pins TZ=UTC, LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_ALL=C.UTF-8, PYTHONHASHSEED=0 to
match CI's deterministic runtime.
The old _isolate_hermes_home fixture name is preserved as an alias so
any test that yields it explicitly still works.
## Layer 2 — scripts/run_tests.sh canonical runner
'Always use scripts/run_tests.sh, never call pytest directly' is the
new rule (documented in AGENTS.md). The script:
- Unsets all credential env vars (belt-and-suspenders for callers
who bypass conftest — e.g. IDE integrations)
- Pins TZ/LANG/PYTHONHASHSEED
- Uses -n 4 xdist workers (matches GHA ubuntu-latest; -n auto on
a 20-core workstation surfaces test-ordering flakes CI will never
see, causing the infamous 'passes in CI, fails locally' drift)
- Finds the venv in .venv, venv, or main checkout's venv
- Passes through arbitrary pytest args
Installs pytest-split on demand so the script can also be used to run
matrix-split subsets locally for debugging.
## Remove 3 module-level dotenv stubs that broke test isolation
tests/hermes_cli/test_{arcee,xiaomi,api_key}_provider.py each had a
module-level:
if 'dotenv' not in sys.modules:
fake_dotenv = types.ModuleType('dotenv')
fake_dotenv.load_dotenv = lambda *a, **kw: None
sys.modules['dotenv'] = fake_dotenv
This patches sys.modules['dotenv'] to a fake at import time with no
teardown. Under pytest-xdist LoadScheduling, whichever worker collected
one of these files first poisoned its sys.modules; subsequent tests in
the same worker that imported load_dotenv transitively (e.g.
test_env_loader.py via hermes_cli.env_loader) got the no-op lambda and
saw their assertions fail.
dotenv is a required dependency (python-dotenv>=1.2.1 in pyproject.toml),
so the defensive stub was never needed. Removed.
## Validation
- tests/hermes_cli/ alone: 2178 passed, 1 skipped, 0 failed (was 4
failures in test_env_loader.py before this fix)
- tests/test_plugin_skills.py, tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py,
tests/test_hermes_logging.py combined: 123 passed (the caplog
regression tests from PR #11453 still pass)
- Local full run shows no F/E clusters in the 0-55% range that were
previously present before the conftest hardening
## Background
See AGENTS.md 'Testing' section for the full list of drift sources
this closes. Matrix split (closed as #11566) will be re-attempted
once this foundation lands — cross-test pollution was the root cause
of the shard-3 hang in that PR.
* fix(conftest): don't redirect HOME — it broke CI subprocesses
PR #11577's autouse fixture was setting HOME to a per-test tempdir.
CI started timing out at 97% complete with dozens of E/F markers and
orphan python processes at cleanup — tests (or transitive deps)
spawn subprocesses that expect a stable HOME, and the redirect broke
them in non-obvious ways.
Env-var unsetting and TZ/LANG/hashseed pinning (the actual CI-drift
fixes) are unchanged and still in place. HERMES_HOME redirection is
also unchanged — that's the canonical way to isolate tests from
~/.hermes/, not HOME.
Any code in the codebase reading ~/.hermes/* via `Path.home() / ".hermes"`
instead of `get_hermes_home()` is a bug to fix at the callsite, not
something to paper over in conftest.
Two follow-ups to the cherry-picked PR #9873 (`e3bcc819`):
1. `_is_allowed_user` now uses `getattr(self, '_allowed_*_ids', set())`
so test fixtures that build the adapter via `object.__new__`
(skipping __init__) don't crash with AttributeError.
See AGENTS.md pitfall #17 — same pattern as gateway.run.
2. New 3-case regression coverage in test_discord_bot_auth_bypass.py:
- role-only config bypasses the gateway 'no allowlists' branch
- roles + users combined still authorizes user-allowlist matches
- the role bypass does NOT leak to other platforms (Telegram, etc.)
3. Autouse fixture in test_discord_bot_auth_bypass.py clears all Discord
auth env vars before each test so DISCORD_ALLOWED_ROLES leakage from
a previous test in the session can't flip later 'should-reject' tests
into false-pass.
Required because the bare cherry-pick of #9873 only added the adapter-
level role check — it didn't cover the gateway-level _is_user_authorized,
which still rejected role-only setups via the 'no allowlists configured'
branch.
Six test cases covering:
- DISCORD_ALLOW_BOTS=mentions + bot not in DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS → authorized
- DISCORD_ALLOW_BOTS=all + bot not in DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS → authorized
- DISCORD_ALLOW_BOTS=none → bots still rejected (preserves security)
- DISCORD_ALLOW_BOTS unset → same as 'none'
- Humans still checked against allowlist even with allow_bots=all
- Bot bypass is Discord-specific — doesn't leak to other platforms
Guards against a regression where the is_bot bypass in _is_user_authorized
gets moved, removed, or accidentally extended to other platforms.
Closes#11321, closes#10259.
## Problem
The nested /skill command group (category subcommand groups + skill
subcommands) serialized to ~14KB with the default 75-skill catalog,
exceeding Discord's ~8000-byte per-command registration payload. The
entire tree.sync() rejected with error 50035 — ALL slash commands
including the 27 base commands failed to register.
## Fix
Replace the nested Group layout with a single flat Command:
/skill name:<autocomplete> args:<optional string>
Autocomplete options are fetched dynamically by Discord when the user
types — they do NOT count against the per-command registration budget.
So this single command registers at ~200 bytes regardless of how many
skills exist. Scales to thousands of skills with no size calculations,
no splitting, no hidden skills.
UX improvements:
- Discord live-filters by user's typed prefix against BOTH name and
description, so '/skill pdf' finds 'ocr-and-documents' via its
description. More discoverable than clicking through category menus.
- Unknown skill name → ephemeral error pointing user at autocomplete.
- Stable alphabetical ordering across restarts.
## Why not the other proposed approaches
Three prior PRs tried to fit within the 8KB limit by modifying the
nested layout:
- #10214 (njiangk): truncated all descriptions to 'Run <name>' and
category descriptions to 'Skills'. Works but destroys slash picker UX.
- #11385 (LeonSGP43): 40-char description clamp + iterative
trim-largest-category fallback. Works but HIDES skills the user can
no longer invoke via slash — functional regression.
- #10261 (zeapsu): adaptive split into /skill-<cat> top-level groups.
Preserves all skills but pollutes the slash namespace with 20
top-level commands.
All three work around the symptom. The flat autocomplete design
dissolves the problem — there is no payload-size pressure to manage.
## Tests
tests/gateway/test_discord_slash_commands.py — 5 new test cases replace
the 3 old nested-structure tests:
- flat-not-nested structure assertion
- empty skills → no command registered
- callback dispatches the right cmd_key by name
- unknown name → ephemeral error, no dispatch
- large-catalog regression guard (500 skills) — command payload stays
under 500 bytes regardless
E2E validated against real discord.py 2.7.1:
- Command registers as discord.app_commands.Command (not Group).
- Autocomplete filters by name AND description (verified across several
queries including description-only matches like 'pdf' → OCR skill).
- 500-skill catalog returns max 25 results per autocomplete query
(Discord's hard cap), filtered correctly.
- Choice labels formatted as 'name — description' clamped to 100 chars.
Adds 15 regression tests for hermes_cli/dingtalk_auth.py covering:
* _api_post — network error mapping, errcode-nonzero mapping, success path
* begin_registration — 2-step chain, missing-nonce/device_code/uri
error cases
* wait_for_registration_success — success path, missing-creds guard,
on_waiting callback invocation
* render_qr_to_terminal — returns False when qrcode missing, prints
when available
* Configuration — BASE_URL default + override, SOURCE default
Also adds a one-line disclosure in dingtalk_qr_auth() telling users
the scan page will be OpenClaw-branded. Interim measure: DingTalk's
registration portal is hardcoded to route all sources to /openapp/
registration/openClaw, so users see OpenClaw branding regardless of
what 'source' value we send. We keep 'openClaw' as the source token
until DingTalk-Real-AI registers a Hermes-specific template.
Also adds meng93 to scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP.

Closes#10308
Three open issues — #8242, #6587, #11345 — all trace to the same root
cause: the image / audio / document download paths in
`DiscordAdapter._handle_message` used plain, unauthenticated HTTP to
fetch `att.url`. That broke in three independent ways:
#8242 cdn.discordapp.com attachment URLs increasingly require the
bot session to download; unauthenticated httpx sees 403
Forbidden, image/voice analysis fail silently.
#6587 Some user environments (VPNs, corporate DNS, tunnels) resolve
cdn.discordapp.com to private-looking IPs. Our is_safe_url()
guard correctly blocks them as SSRF risks, but the user
environment is legitimate — image analysis and voice STT die.
#11345 The document download path skipped is_safe_url() entirely —
raw aiohttp.ClientSession.get(att.url) with no SSRF check,
inconsistent with the image/audio branches.
Unified fix: use `discord.Attachment.read()` as the primary download
path on all three branches. `att.read()` routes through discord.py's
own authenticated HTTPClient, so:
- Discord CDN auth is handled (#8242 resolved).
- Our is_safe_url() gate isn't consulted for the attachment path at
all — the bot session handles networking internally (#6587 resolved).
- All three branches now share the same code path, eliminating the
document-path SSRF gap (#11345 resolved).
Falls back to the existing cache_*_from_url helpers (image/audio) or an
SSRF-gated aiohttp fetch (documents) when `att.read()` is unavailable
or fails — preserves defense-in-depth for any future payload-schema
drift that could slip a non-CDN URL into att.url.
New helpers on DiscordAdapter:
- _read_attachment_bytes(att) — safe att.read() wrapper
- _cache_discord_image(att, ext) — primary + URL fallback
- _cache_discord_audio(att, ext) — primary + URL fallback
- _cache_discord_document(att, ext) — primary + SSRF-gated aiohttp fallback
Tests:
- tests/gateway/test_discord_attachment_download.py — 12 new cases
covering all three helpers: primary path, fallback on missing
.read(), fallback on validator rejection, SSRF guard on document
fallback, aiohttp fallback happy-path, and an E2E case via
_handle_message confirming cache_image_from_url is never invoked
when att.read() succeeds.
- All 11 existing document-handling tests continue to pass via the
aiohttp fallback path (their SimpleNamespace attachments have no
.read(), which triggers the fallback — now SSRF-gated).
Closes#8242, closes#6587, closes#11345.
When a WebSocket-based platform adapter (e.g. QQ Bot) temporarily
loses its connection, send() now polls is_connected for up to 15s
instead of immediately returning a non-retryable failure. If the
auto-reconnect completes within the window, the message is delivered
normally. On timeout, the SendResult is marked retryable=True so the
base class retry mechanism can attempt re-delivery.
Same treatment applied to _send_media().
Adds 4 async tests covering:
- Successful send after simulated reconnection
- Retryable failure on timeout
- Immediate success when already connected
- _send_media reconnection wait
Fixes#11163
Adds 16 regression tests for the gating logic introduced in the
salvaged commit:
* TestAllowedUsersGate — empty/wildcard/case-insensitive matching,
staff_id vs sender_id, env var CSV population
* TestMentionPatterns — compilation, case-insensitivity, invalid
regex is skipped-not-raised, JSON env var, newline fallback
* TestShouldProcessMessage — DM always accepted, group gating via
require_mention / is_in_at_list / wake-word pattern / free_response_chats
Also adds yule975 to scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP (release CI blocks
unmapped emails).
The Copilot API returns HTTP 400 "model_not_supported" when it receives a
model ID it doesn't recognize (vendor-prefixed like
`anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6` or dash-notation like `claude-sonnet-4-6`).
Two bugs combined to leave both formats unhandled:
1. `_COPILOT_MODEL_ALIASES` in hermes_cli/models.py only covered bare
dot-notation and vendor-prefixed dot-notation. Hermes' default Claude
IDs elsewhere use hyphens (anthropic native format), and users with an
aggregator-style config who switch `model.provider` to `copilot`
inherit `anthropic/claude-X-4.6` — neither case was in the table.
2. The Copilot branch of `normalize_model_for_provider()` only stripped
the vendor prefix when it matched the target provider (`copilot/`) or
was the special-cased `openai/` for openai-codex. Every other vendor
prefix survived to the Copilot request unchanged.
Fix:
- Add dash-notation aliases (`claude-{opus,sonnet,haiku}-4-{5,6}` and the
`anthropic/`-prefixed variants) to the alias table.
- Rewire the Copilot / Copilot-ACP branch of
`normalize_model_for_provider()` to delegate to the existing
`normalize_copilot_model_id()`. That function already does alias
lookups, catalog-aware resolution, and vendor-prefix fallback — it was
being bypassed for the generic normalisation entry point.
Because `switch_model()` already calls `normalize_model_for_provider()`
for every `/model` switch (line 685 in model_switch.py), this single fix
covers the CLI startup path (cli.py), the `/model` slash command path,
and the gateway load-from-config path.
Closes#6879
Credits dsr-restyn (#6743) who independently diagnosed the dash-notation
case; their aliases are folded into this consolidated fix alongside the
vendor-prefix stripping repair.
Follow-up to the reply-reference fix: `_make_discord_adapter` used to return
the raw fetched `Message` as the expected reference, but the adapter now
wraps it via `ref_msg.to_reference(fail_if_not_exists=False)` so Discord
treats a deleted target as 'send without reply chip'. Update the fixture
to return the MessageReference sentinel so the 4 chunk-reference-identity
tests assert against the right object.
No production behavior change; only aligns the stale test fixture.
Follow-up to the reply-reference fix: ensure errors unrelated to the reply
reference (e.g. 50013 Missing Permissions) do NOT trigger the no-reference
retry path and still surface as a failed SendResult. Keeps the wider retry
condition from silently swallowing unrelated API errors.
Proposed in the original issue writeup (#11342) as test case
`test_non_reference_errors_still_propagate`.
* feat(skills): add 'hermes skills reset' to un-stick bundled skills
When a user edits a bundled skill, sync flags it as user_modified and
skips it forever. The problem: if the user later tries to undo the edit
by copying the current bundled version back into ~/.hermes/skills/, the
manifest still holds the old origin hash from the last successful
sync, so the fresh bundled hash still doesn't match and the skill stays
stuck as user_modified.
Adds an escape hatch for this case.
hermes skills reset <name>
Drops the skill's entry from ~/.hermes/skills/.bundled_manifest and
re-baselines against the user's current copy. Future 'hermes update'
runs accept upstream changes again. Non-destructive.
hermes skills reset <name> --restore
Also deletes the user's copy and re-copies the bundled version.
Use when you want the pristine upstream skill back.
Also available as /skills reset in chat.

* fix(auth): codex auth remove no longer silently undone by auto-import
'hermes auth remove openai-codex' appeared to succeed but the credential
reappeared on the next command. Two compounding bugs:
1. _seed_from_singletons() for openai-codex unconditionally re-imports
tokens from ~/.codex/auth.json whenever the Hermes auth store is
empty (by design — the Codex CLI and Hermes share that file). There
was no suppression check, unlike the claude_code seed path.
2. auth_remove_command's cleanup branch only matched
removed.source == 'device_code' exactly. Entries added via
'hermes auth add openai-codex' have source 'manual:device_code', so
for those the Hermes auth store's providers['openai-codex'] state was
never cleared on remove — the next load_pool() re-seeded straight
from there.
Net effect: there was no way to make a codex removal stick short of
manually editing both ~/.hermes/auth.json and ~/.codex/auth.json before
opening Hermes again.
Fix:
- Add unsuppress_credential_source() helper (mirrors
suppress_credential_source()).
- Gate the openai-codex branch in _seed_from_singletons() with
is_source_suppressed(), matching the claude_code pattern.
- Broaden auth_remove_command's codex match to handle both
'device_code' and 'manual:device_code' (via endswith check), always
call suppress_credential_source(), and print guidance about the
unchanged ~/.codex/auth.json file.
- Clear the suppression marker in auth_add_command's openai-codex
branch so re-linking via 'hermes auth add openai-codex' works.
~/.codex/auth.json is left untouched — that's the Codex CLI's own
credential store, not ours to delete.
Tests cover: unsuppress helper behavior, remove of both source
variants, add clears suppression, seed respects suppression. E2E
verified: remove → load → add → load flow now behaves correctly.
Add TestWeixinSendImageFileParameterName test class with two tests:
- test_send_image_file_uses_image_path_parameter: verifies the correct
parameter name (image_path) is used when gateway calls send_image_file
- test_send_image_file_works_without_optional_params: ensures minimal
params work correctly
This prevents the interface from drifting again as noted by Copilot.
discord.py does not apply a default AllowedMentions to the client, so any
reply whose content contains @everyone/@here or a role mention would ping
the whole server — including verbatim echoes of user input or LLM output
that happens to contain those tokens.
Set a safe default on commands.Bot: everyone=False, roles=False,
users=True, replied_user=True. Operators can opt back in via four
DISCORD_ALLOW_MENTION_* env vars or discord.allow_mentions.* in
config.yaml. No behavior change for normal user/reply pings.

First pass of test-suite reduction to address flaky CI and bloat.
Removed tests that fall into these change-detector patterns:
1. Source-grep tests (tests/gateway/test_feishu.py, test_email.py): tests
that call inspect.getsource() on production modules and grep for string
literals. Break on any refactor/rename even when behavior is correct.
2. Platform enum tautologies (every gateway/test_X.py): assertions like
`Platform.X.value == 'x'` duplicated across ~9 adapter test files.
3. Toolset/PLATFORM_HINTS/setup-wizard registry-presence checks: tests that
only verify a key exists in a dict. Data-layout tests, not behavior.
4. Argparse wiring tests (test_argparse_flag_propagation, test_subparser_routing
_fallback): tests that do parser.parse_args([...]) then assert args.field.
Tests Python's argparse, not our code.
5. Pure dispatch tests (test_plugins_cmd.TestPluginsCommandDispatch): patch
cmd_X, call plugins_command with matching action, assert mock called.
Tests the if/elif chain, not behavior.
6. Kwarg-to-mock verification (test_auxiliary_client ~45 tests,
test_web_tools_config, test_gemini_cloudcode, test_retaindb_plugin): tests
that mock the external API client, call our function, and assert exact
kwargs. Break on refactor even when behavior is preserved.
7. Schedule-internal "function-was-called" tests (acp/test_server scheduling
tests): tests that patch own helper method, then assert it was called.
Kept behavioral tests throughout: error paths (pytest.raises), security
tests (path traversal, SSRF, redaction), message alternation invariants,
provider API format conversion, streaming logic, memory contract, real
config load/merge tests.
Net reduction: 169 tests removed. 38 empty classes cleaned up.
Collected before: 12,522 tests
Collected after: 12,353 tests
The cache-read, cache-write, and total estimated-cost values shown in
/insights (and the per-model Cost column) were unreliable. Hide them from
both terminal and gateway renderings.
The underlying data pipeline is untouched — sessions still store
cache_read_tokens, cache_write_tokens, and estimated_cost_usd; the web
server, /usage command, and status bar are unaffected. Only the
InsightsEngine display layer is trimmed.
Changes:
- format_terminal: drop 'Cache read / Cache write' line, drop 'Est. cost'
from the Total tokens row, drop per-model 'Cost' column, drop the
'* Cost N/A for custom/self-hosted' footnote.
- format_gateway: drop cache breakdown from Tokens line, drop 'Est. cost'
line, drop per-model cost suffix.
- Tests updated to assert these strings are now absent.
* feat(skills): add 'hermes skills reset' to un-stick bundled skills

skips it forever. The problem: if the user later tries to undo the edit
by copying the current bundled version back into ~/.hermes/skills/, the

* fix(nous): respect 'Skip (keep current)' after OAuth login
When a user already set up on another provider (e.g. OpenRouter) runs
`hermes model` and picks Nous Portal, OAuth succeeds and then a model
picker is shown. If the user picks 'Skip (keep current)', the previous
provider + model should be preserved.
Previously, \_update_config_for_provider was called unconditionally after
login, which flipped config.yaml model.provider to 'nous' while keeping
the old model.default (e.g. anthropic/claude-opus-4.6 from OpenRouter),
leaving the user with a mismatched provider/model pair on the next
request.
Fix: snapshot the prior active_provider before login, and if no model is
selected (Skip, or no models available, or fetch failure), restore the
prior active_provider and leave config.yaml untouched. The Nous OAuth
tokens stay saved so future `hermes model` -> Nous works without
re-authenticating.
Test plan:
- New tests cover Skip path (preserves provider+model, saves creds),
pick-a-model path (switches to nous), and fresh-install Skip path
(active_provider cleared, not stuck as 'nous').
The cherry-picked SDK compat fix (previous commit) wired process() to
parse CallbackMessage.data into a ChatbotMessage, but _extract_text()
was still written against the pre-0.20 payload shape:
* message.text changed from dict {content: ...} → TextContent object.
The old code's str(text) fallback produced 'TextContent(content=...)'
as the agent's input, so every received message came in mangled.
* rich_text moved from message.rich_text (list) to
message.rich_text_content.rich_text_list.
This preserves legacy fallbacks (dict-shaped text, bare rich_text list)
while handling the current SDK layout via hasattr(text, 'content').
Adds regression tests covering:
* webhook domain allowlist (api.*, oapi.*, and hostile lookalikes)
* _IncomingHandler.process is a coroutine function
* _extract_text against TextContent object, dict, rich_text_content,
legacy rich_text, and empty-message cases
Also adds kevinskysunny to scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP (release CI
blocks unmapped emails).
When a user edits a bundled skill, sync flags it as user_modified and
skips it forever. The problem: if the user later tries to undo the edit
by copying the current bundled version back into ~/.hermes/skills/, the
manifest still holds the old origin hash from the last successful
sync, so the fresh bundled hash still doesn't match and the skill stays
stuck as user_modified.
Adds an escape hatch for this case.
hermes skills reset <name>
Drops the skill's entry from ~/.hermes/skills/.bundled_manifest and
re-baselines against the user's current copy. Future 'hermes update'
runs accept upstream changes again. Non-destructive.
hermes skills reset <name> --restore
Also deletes the user's copy and re-copies the bundled version.
Use when you want the pristine upstream skill back.
Also available as /skills reset in chat.
- tools/skills_sync.py: new reset_bundled_skill(name, restore=False)
- hermes_cli/skills_hub.py: do_reset() + wired into skills_command and
handle_skills_slash; added to the slash /skills help panel
- hermes_cli/main.py: argparse entry for 'hermes skills reset'
- tests/tools/test_skills_sync.py: 5 new tests covering the stuck-flag
repro, --restore, unknown-skill error, upstream-removed-skill, and
no-op on already-clean state
- website/docs/user-guide/features/skills.md: new 'Bundled skill updates'
section explaining the origin-hash mechanic + reset usage
Three tests in tests/test_plugin_skills.py and tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py
used caplog.at_level(logging.WARNING) without specifying a logger. When another
test earlier in the same xdist worker touched propagation on tools.skills_tool
or hermes_cli.plugins, caplog would miss the warning and the assertion would
fail intermittently in CI.
These three tests accounted for 15 of the last ~30 Tests workflow failures
(5 each), including the recent main failure on commit 436a7359 (PR #11398).
Fix: pass logger="tools.skills_tool" / logger="hermes_cli.plugins" to
caplog.at_level() so the handler attaches directly to the logger under test
and capture is independent of global propagation state.
Affected tests:
- tests/test_plugin_skills.py::TestSkillViewPluginGuards::test_injection_logged_but_served
- tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py::TestPluginCommands::test_register_command_empty_name_rejected
- tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py::TestPluginCommands::test_register_command_builtin_conflict_rejected
No production code change. Verified passing under xdist (-n 4) alongside
test_hermes_logging.py (the test most likely to poison the logger state).
Extends test_build_event_handler_registers_reaction_and_card_processors
to assert that register_p2_im_chat_access_event_bot_p2p_chat_entered_v1
and register_p2_im_message_recalled_v1 are called when building the
event handler, matching the production registrations.
Also adds Fatty911 to scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP for credit on the
salvaged event-handler fix.
* feat(image_gen): upgrade Recraft V3 → V4 Pro, Nano Banana → Pro
Upstream asked for these two upgrades ASAP — the old entries show
stale models when newer, higher-quality versions are available on FAL.
Recraft V3 → Recraft V4 Pro
ID: fal-ai/recraft-v3 → fal-ai/recraft/v4/pro/text-to-image
Price: $0.04/image → $0.25/image (6x — V4 Pro is premium tier)
Schema: V4 dropped the required `style` enum entirely; defaults
handle taste now. Added `colors` and `background_color`
to supports for brand-palette control. `seed` is not
supported by V4 per the API docs.
Nano Banana → Nano Banana Pro
ID: fal-ai/nano-banana → fal-ai/nano-banana-pro
Price: $0.08/image → $0.15/image (1K); $0.30 at 4K
Schema: Aspect ratio family unchanged. Added `resolution`
(1K/2K/4K, default 1K for billing predictability),
`enable_web_search` (real-time info grounding, +$0.015),
and `limit_generations` (force exactly 1 image).
Architecture: Gemini 2.5 Flash → Gemini 3 Pro Image. Quality
and reasoning depth improved; slower (~6s → ~8s).
Migration: users who had the old IDs in `image_gen.model` will
fall through the existing 'unknown model → default' warning path
in `_resolve_fal_model()` and get the Klein 9B default on the next
run. Re-run `hermes tools` → Image Generation to pick the new
version. No silent cost-upgrade aliasing — the 2-6x price jump
on these tiers warrants explicit user re-selection.
Portal note: both new model IDs need to be allowlisted on the
Nous fal-queue-gateway alongside the previous 7 additions, or
users on Nous Subscription will see the 'managed gateway rejected
model' error we added previously (which is clear and
self-remediating, just noisy).
* docs: wrap '<1s' in backticks to unblock MDX compilation
Docusaurus's MDX parser treats unquoted '<' as the start of JSX, and
'<1s' fails because '1' isn't a valid tag-name start character. This
was broken on main since PR #11265 (never noticed because
docs-site-checks was failing on OTHER issues at the time and we
admin-merged through it).
Wrapping in backticks also gives the cell monospace styling which
reads more cleanly alongside the inline-code model ID in the same row.
The other '<1s' occurrence (line 52) is inside a fenced code block
and is already safe — code fences bypass MDX parsing.
* feat(mcp-oauth): scaffold MCPOAuthManager
Central manager for per-server MCP OAuth state. Provides
get_or_build_provider (cached), remove (evicts cache + deletes
disk), invalidate_if_disk_changed (mtime watch, core fix for
external-refresh workflow), and handle_401 (dedup'd recovery).
No behavior change yet — existing call sites still use
build_oauth_auth directly. Task 1 of 8 in the MCP OAuth
consolidation (fixes Cthulhu's BetterStack reliability issues).
* feat(mcp-oauth): add HermesMCPOAuthProvider with pre-flow disk watch
Subclasses the MCP SDK's OAuthClientProvider to inject a disk
mtime check before every async_auth_flow, via the central
manager. When a subclass instance is used, external token
refreshes (cron, another CLI instance) are picked up before
the next API call.
Still dead code: the manager's _build_provider still delegates
to build_oauth_auth and returns the plain OAuthClientProvider.
Task 4 wires this subclass in. Task 2 of 8.
* refactor(mcp-oauth): extract build_oauth_auth helpers
Decomposes build_oauth_auth into _configure_callback_port,
_build_client_metadata, _maybe_preregister_client, and
_parse_base_url. Public API preserved. These helpers let
MCPOAuthManager._build_provider reuse the same logic in Task 4
instead of duplicating the construction dance.
Also updates the SDK version hint in the warning from 1.10.0 to
1.26.0 (which is what we actually require for the OAuth types
used here). Task 3 of 8.
* feat(mcp-oauth): manager now builds HermesMCPOAuthProvider directly
_build_provider constructs the disk-watching subclass using the
helpers from Task 3, instead of delegating to the plain
build_oauth_auth factory. Any consumer using the manager now gets
pre-flow disk-freshness checks automatically.
build_oauth_auth is preserved as the public API for backwards
compatibility. The code path is now:
MCPOAuthManager.get_or_build_provider ->
_build_provider ->
_configure_callback_port
_build_client_metadata
_maybe_preregister_client
_parse_base_url
HermesMCPOAuthProvider(...)
Task 4 of 8.
* feat(mcp): wire OAuth manager + add _reconnect_event
MCPServerTask gains _reconnect_event alongside _shutdown_event.
When set, _run_http / _run_stdio exit their async-with blocks
cleanly (no exception), and the outer run() loop re-enters the
transport to rebuild the MCP session with fresh credentials.
This is the recovery path for OAuth failures that the SDK's
in-place httpx.Auth cannot handle (e.g. cron externally consumed
the refresh_token, or server-side session invalidation).
_run_http now asks MCPOAuthManager for the OAuth provider
instead of calling build_oauth_auth directly. Config-time,
runtime, and reconnect paths all share one provider instance
with pre-flow disk-watch active.
shutdown() defensively sets both events so there is no race
between reconnect and shutdown signalling.
Task 5 of 8.
* feat(mcp): detect auth failures in tool handlers, trigger reconnect
All 5 MCP tool handlers (tool call, list_resources, read_resource,
list_prompts, get_prompt) now detect auth failures and route
through MCPOAuthManager.handle_401:
1. If the manager says recovery is viable (disk has fresh tokens,
or SDK can refresh in-place), signal MCPServerTask._reconnect_event
to tear down and rebuild the MCP session with fresh credentials,
then retry the tool call once.
2. If no recovery path exists, return a structured needs_reauth
JSON error so the model stops hallucinating manual refresh
attempts (the 'let me curl the token endpoint' loop Cthulhu
pasted from Discord).
_is_auth_error catches OAuthFlowError, OAuthTokenError,
OAuthNonInteractiveError, and httpx.HTTPStatusError(401). Non-auth
exceptions still surface via the generic error path unchanged.
Task 6 of 8.
* feat(mcp-cli): route add/remove through manager, add 'hermes mcp login'
cmd_mcp_add and cmd_mcp_remove now go through MCPOAuthManager
instead of calling build_oauth_auth / remove_oauth_tokens
directly. This means CLI config-time state and runtime MCP
session state are backed by the same provider cache — removing
a server evicts the live provider, adding a server populates
the same cache the MCP session will read from.
New 'hermes mcp login <name>' command:
- Wipes both the on-disk tokens file and the in-memory
MCPOAuthManager cache
- Triggers a fresh OAuth browser flow via the existing probe
path
- Intended target for the needs_reauth error Task 6 returns
to the model
Task 7 of 8.
* test(mcp-oauth): end-to-end integration tests
Five new tests exercising the full consolidation with real file
I/O and real imports (no transport mocks):
1. external_refresh_picked_up_without_restart — Cthulhu's cron
workflow. External process writes fresh tokens to disk;
on the next auth flow the manager's mtime-watch flips
_initialized and the SDK re-reads from storage.
2. handle_401_deduplicates_concurrent_callers — 10 concurrent
handlers for the same failed token fire exactly ONE recovery
attempt (thundering-herd protection).
3. handle_401_returns_false_when_no_provider — defensive path
for unknown servers.
4. invalidate_if_disk_changed_handles_missing_file — pre-auth
state returns False cleanly.
5. provider_is_reused_across_reconnects — cache stickiness so
reconnects preserve the disk-watch baseline mtime.
Task 8 of 8 — consolidation complete.
* docs: fix ascii-guard border alignment errors
Three docs pages had ASCII diagram boxes with off-by-one column
alignment issues that failed docs-site-checks CI:
- architecture.md: outer box is 71 cols but inner-box content lines
and border corners were offset by 1 col, making content-line right
border at col 70/72 while top/bottom border was at col 71. Inner
boxes also had border corners at cols 19/36/53 but content pipes
at cols 20/37/54. Rewrote the diagram with consistent 71-col width
throughout, aligned inner boxes at cols 4-19, 22-37, 40-55 with
2-space gaps and 15-space trailing padding.
- gateway-internals.md: same class of issue — outer box at 51 cols,
inner content lines varied 52-54 cols. Rewrote with consistent
51-col width, inner boxes at cols 4-15, 18-29, 32-43. Also
restructured the bottom-half message flow so it's bare text
(not half-open box cells) matching the intent of the original.
- agent-loop.md line 112-114: box 2 (API thread) content lines had
one extra space pushing the right border to col 46 while the top
and bottom borders of that box sat at col 45. Trimmed one trailing
space from each of the three content lines.
All 123 docs files now pass `npm run lint:diagrams`:
✓ Errors: 0 (warnings: 6, non-fatal)
Pre-existing failures on main — unrelated to any open PR.
* test(setup): accept description kwarg in prompt_choice mock lambdas
setup.py's `_curses_prompt_choice` gained an optional `description`
parameter (used for rendering context hints alongside the prompt).
`prompt_choice` forwards it via keyword arg. The two existing tests
mocked `_curses_prompt_choice` with lambdas that didn't accept the
new kwarg, so the forwarded call raised TypeError.
Fix: add `description=None` to both mock lambda signatures so they
absorb the new kwarg without changing behavior.
* test(matrix): update stale audio-caching assertion
test_regular_audio_has_http_url asserted that non-voice audio
messages keep their HTTP URL and are NOT downloaded/cached. That
was true when the caching code only triggered on
`is_voice_message`. Since bec02f37 (encrypted-media caching
refactor), matrix.py caches all media locally — photos, audio,
video, documents — so downstream tools can read them as real
files via media_urls. This applies to regular audio too.
Renamed the test to `test_regular_audio_is_cached_locally`,
flipped the assertions accordingly, and documented the
intentional behavior change in the docstring. Other tests in
the file (voice-specific caching, message-type detection,
reply-to threading) continue to pass.
* test(413): allow multi-pass preflight compression
run_agent.py's preflight compression runs up to 3 passes in a loop
for very large sessions (each pass summarizes the middle N turns,
then re-checks tokens). The loop breaks when a pass returns a
message list no shorter than its input (can't compress further).
test_preflight_compresses_oversized_history used a static mock
return value that returned the same 2 messages regardless of input,
so the loop ran pass 1 (41 -> 2) and pass 2 (2 -> 2 -> break),
making call_count == 2. The assert_called_once() assertion was
strictly wrong under the multi-pass design.
The invariant the test actually cares about is: preflight ran, and
its first invocation received the full oversized history. Replaced
the count assertion with those two invariants.
* docs: drop '...' from gateway diagram, merge side-by-side boxes
ascii-guard 2.3.0 flagged two remaining issues after the initial fix
pass:
1. gateway-internals.md L33: the '...' suffix after inner box 3's
right border got parsed as 'extra characters after inner-box right
border'. Dropped the '...' — the surrounding prose already conveys
'and more platforms' without needing the visual hint.
2. agent-loop.md: ascii-guard can't cleanly parse two side-by-side
boxes of different heights (main thread 7 rows, API thread 5 rows).
Even equalizing heights didn't help — the linter treats the left
box's right border as the end of the diagram. Merged into a single
54-char-wide outer box with both threads labeled as regions inside,
keeping the ▶ arrow to preserve the main→API flow direction.
Inbound Feishu messages arriving during brief windows when the adapter
loop is unavailable (startup/restart transitions, network-flap reconnect)
were silently dropped with a WARNING log. This matches the symptom in
issue #5499 — and users have reported seeing only a subset of their
messages reach the agent.
Fix: queue pending events in a thread-safe list and spawn a single
drainer thread that replays them once the loop becomes ready. Covers
these scenarios:
* Queue events instead of dropping when loop is None/closed
* Single drainer handles the full queue (not thread-per-event)
* Thread-safe with threading.Lock on the queue and schedule flag
* Handles mid-drain bursts (new events arrive while drainer is working)
* Handles RuntimeError if loop closes between check and submit
* Depth cap (1000) prevents unbounded growth during extended outages
* Drops queue cleanly on disconnect rather than holding forever
* Safety timeout (120s) prevents infinite retention on broken adapters
Based on the approach proposed in #4789 by milkoor, rewritten for
thread-safety and correctness.
Test plan:
* 5 new unit tests (TestPendingInboundQueue) — all passing
* E2E test with real asyncio loop + fake WS thread: 10-event burst
before loop ready → all 10 delivered in order
* E2E concurrent burst test: 20 events queued, 20 more arrive during
drainer dispatch → all 40 delivered, no loss, no duplicates
* All 111 existing feishu tests pass

* feat(image_gen): multi-model FAL support with picker in hermes tools
Adds 8 FAL text-to-image models selectable via `hermes tools` →
Image Generation → (FAL.ai | Nous Subscription) → model picker.
Models supported:
- fal-ai/flux-2/klein/9b (new default, <1s, $0.006/MP)
- fal-ai/flux-2-pro (previous default, kept backward-compat upscaling)
- fal-ai/z-image/turbo (Tongyi-MAI, bilingual EN/CN)
- fal-ai/nano-banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image)
- fal-ai/gpt-image-1.5 (with quality tier: low/medium/high)
- fal-ai/ideogram/v3 (best typography)
- fal-ai/recraft-v3 (vector, brand styles)
- fal-ai/qwen-image (LLM-based)
Architecture:
- FAL_MODELS catalog declares per-model size family, defaults, supports
whitelist, and upscale flag. Three size families handled uniformly:
image_size_preset (flux family), aspect_ratio (nano-banana), and
gpt_literal (gpt-image-1.5).
- _build_fal_payload() translates unified inputs (prompt + aspect_ratio)
into model-specific payloads, merges defaults, applies caller overrides,
wires GPT quality_setting, then filters to the supports whitelist — so
models never receive rejected keys.
- IMAGEGEN_BACKENDS registry in tools_config prepares for future imagegen
providers (Replicate, Stability, etc.); each provider entry tags itself
with imagegen_backend: 'fal' to select the right catalog.
- Upscaler (Clarity) defaults off for new models (preserves <1s value
prop), on for flux-2-pro (backward-compat). Per-model via FAL_MODELS.
Config:
image_gen.model = fal-ai/flux-2/klein/9b (new)
image_gen.quality_setting = medium (new, GPT only)
image_gen.use_gateway = bool (existing)
Agent-facing schema unchanged (prompt + aspect_ratio only) — model
choice is a user-level config decision, not an agent-level arg.
Picker uses curses_radiolist (arrow keys, auto numbered-fallback on
non-TTY). Column-aligned: Model / Speed / Strengths / Price.
Docs: image-generation.md rewritten with the model table and picker
walkthrough. tools-reference, tool-gateway, overview updated to drop
the stale "FLUX 2 Pro" wording.
Tests: 42 new in tests/tools/test_image_generation.py covering catalog
integrity, all 3 size families, supports filter, default merging, GPT
quality wiring, model resolution fallback. 8 new in
tests/hermes_cli/test_tools_config.py for picker wiring (registry,
config writes, GPT quality follow-up prompt, corrupt-config repair).
* feat(image_gen): translate managed-gateway 4xx to actionable error
When the Nous Subscription managed FAL proxy rejects a model with 4xx
(likely portal-side allowlist miss or billing gate), surface a clear
message explaining:
1. The rejected model ID + HTTP status
2. Two remediation paths: set FAL_KEY for direct access, or
pick a different model via `hermes tools`
5xx, connection errors, and direct-FAL errors pass through unchanged
(those have different root causes and reasonable native messages).
Motivation: new FAL models added to this release (flux-2-klein-9b,
z-image-turbo, nano-banana, gpt-image-1.5, ideogram-v3, recraft-v3,
qwen-image) are untested against the Nous Portal proxy. If the portal
allowlists model IDs, users on Nous Subscription will hit cryptic
4xx errors without guidance on how to work around it.
Tests: 8 new cases covering status extraction across httpx/fal error
shapes and 4xx-vs-5xx-vs-ConnectionError translation policy.
Docs: brief note in image-generation.md for Nous subscribers.
Operator action (Nous Portal side): verify that fal-queue-gateway
passes through these 7 new FAL model IDs. If the proxy has an
allowlist, add them; otherwise Nous Subscription users will see the
new translated error and fall back to direct FAL.
* feat(image_gen): pin GPT-Image quality to medium (no user choice)
Previously the tools picker asked a follow-up question for GPT-Image
quality tier (low / medium / high) and persisted the answer to
`image_gen.quality_setting`. This created two problems:
1. Nous Portal billing complexity — the 22x cost spread between tiers
($0.009 low / $0.20 high) forces the gateway to meter per-tier per
user, which the portal team can't easily support at launch.
2. User footgun — anyone picking `high` by mistake burns through
credit ~6x faster than `medium`.
This commit pins quality at medium by baking it into FAL_MODELS
defaults for gpt-image-1.5 and removes all user-facing override paths:
- Removed `_resolve_gpt_quality()` runtime lookup
- Removed `honors_quality_setting` flag on the model entry
- Removed `_configure_gpt_quality_setting()` picker helper
- Removed `_GPT_QUALITY_CHOICES` constant
- Removed the follow-up prompt call in `_configure_imagegen_model()`
- Even if a user manually edits `image_gen.quality_setting` in
config.yaml, no code path reads it — always sends medium.
Tests:
- Replaced TestGptQualitySetting (6 tests) with TestGptQualityPinnedToMedium
(5 tests) — proves medium is baked in, config is ignored, flag is
removed, helper is removed, non-gpt models never get quality.
- Replaced test_picker_with_gpt_image_also_prompts_quality with
test_picker_with_gpt_image_does_not_prompt_quality — proves only 1
picker call fires when gpt-image is selected (no quality follow-up).
Docs updated: image-generation.md replaces the quality-tier table
with a short note explaining the pinning decision.
* docs(image_gen): drop stale 'wires GPT quality tier' line from internals section
Caught in a cleanup sweep after pinning quality to medium. The
"How It Works Internally" walkthrough still described the removed
quality-wiring step.
PR #4918 fixed the double-/v1 bug at fresh agent init by stripping the
trailing /v1 from OpenCode base URLs when api_mode is anthropic_messages
(so the Anthropic SDK's own /v1/messages doesn't land on /v1/v1/messages).
The same logic was missing from the /model mid-session switch path.
Repro: start a session on opencode-go with GLM-5 (or any chat_completions
model), then `/model minimax-m2.7`. switch_model() correctly sets
api_mode=anthropic_messages via opencode_model_api_mode(), but base_url
passes through as https://opencode.ai/zen/go/v1. The Anthropic SDK then
POSTs to https://opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/v1/messages, which returns the
OpenCode website 404 HTML page (title 'Not Found | opencode').
Same bug affects `/model claude-sonnet-4-6` on opencode-zen.
Verified upstream: POST /v1/messages returns clean JSON 401 with x-api-key
auth (route works), while POST /v1/v1/messages returns the exact HTML 404
users reported.
Fix mirrors runtime_provider.resolve_runtime_provider:
- hermes_cli/model_switch.py::switch_model() strips /v1 after the OpenCode
api_mode override when the resolved mode is anthropic_messages.
- run_agent.py::AIAgent.switch_model() applies the same strip as
defense-in-depth, so any direct caller can't reintroduce the double-/v1.
Tests: 9 new regression tests in tests/hermes_cli/test_model_switch_opencode_anthropic.py
covering minimax on opencode-go, claude on opencode-zen, chat_completions
(GLM/Kimi/Gemini) keeping /v1 intact, codex_responses (GPT) keeping /v1
intact, trailing-slash handling, and the agent-level defense-in-depth.
Follow-ups on top of kshitijk4poor's cherry-picked salvage of PR #8018:
tools/environments/daytona.py
- PID-suffix /tmp/.hermes_sync.<pid>.tar so concurrent sync_back calls
against the same sandbox don't collide on the remote temp path
- Move sync_back() inside the cleanup lock and after the _sandbox-None
guard, with its own try/except. Previously a no-op cleanup (sandbox
already cleared) still fired sync_back → 3-attempt retry storm against
a nil sandbox (~6s of sleep). Now short-circuits cleanly.
tools/environments/file_sync.py
- Add _SYNC_BACK_MAX_BYTES (2 GiB) defensive cap: refuse to extract a
tar larger than the limit. Protects against runaway sandboxes
producing arbitrary-size archives.
- Add 'nothing previously pushed' guard at the top of sync_back(). If
_pushed_hashes and _synced_files are both empty, the FileSyncManager
was never initialized from the host side — there is nothing coherent
to sync back. Skips the retry/backoff machinery on uninitialized
managers and eliminates test-suite slowdown from pre-existing cleanup
tests that don't mock the sync layer.
tests/tools/test_file_sync_back.py
- Update _make_manager helper to seed a _pushed_hashes entry by default
so sync_back() exercises its real path. A seed_pushed_state=False
opt-out is available for noop-path tests.
- Add TestSyncBackSizeCap with positive and negative coverage of the
new cap.
tests/tools/test_sync_back_backends.py
- Update Daytona bulk download test to assert the PID-suffixed path
pattern instead of the fixed /tmp/.hermes_sync.tar.
Salvage of PR #8018 by @alt-glitch onto current main.
On sandbox teardown, FileSyncManager now downloads the remote .hermes/
directory, diffs against SHA-256 hashes of what was originally pushed,
and applies only changed files back to the host.
Core (tools/environments/file_sync.py):
- sync_back(): orchestrates download -> unpack -> diff -> apply with:
- Retry with exponential backoff (3 attempts, 2s/4s/8s)
- SIGINT trap + defer (prevents partial writes on Ctrl-C)
- fcntl.flock serialization (concurrent gateway sandboxes)
- Last-write-wins conflict resolution with warning
- New remote files pulled back via _infer_host_path prefix matching
Backends:
- SSH: _ssh_bulk_download — tar cf - piped over SSH
- Modal: _modal_bulk_download — exec tar cf - -> proc.stdout.read
- Daytona: _daytona_bulk_download — exec tar cf -> SDK download_file
- All three call sync_back() at the top of cleanup()
Fixes applied during salvage (vs original PR #8018):
| # | Issue | Fix |
|---|-------|-----|
| C1 | import fcntl unconditional — crashes Windows | try/except with fallback; _sync_back_locked skips locking when fcntl=None |
| W1 | assert for runtime guard (stripped by -O) | Replaced with proper if/raise RuntimeError |
| W2 | O(n*m) from _get_files_fn() called per file | Cache mapping once at start of _sync_back_impl, pass to resolve/infer |
| W3 | Dead BulkDownloadFn imports in 3 backends | Removed unused imports |
| W4 | Modal hardcodes root/.hermes, no explanation | Added docstring comment explaining Modal always runs as root |
| S1 | SHA-256 computed for new files where pushed_hash=None | Skip hashing when pushed_hash is None (comparison always False) |
| S2 | Daytona /tmp/.hermes_sync.tar never cleaned up | Added rm -f after download (best-effort) |
Tests: 49 passing (17 new: _infer_host_path edge cases, SIGINT
main/worker thread, Windows fcntl=None fallback, Daytona tar cleanup).
Based on #8018 by @alt-glitch.
All 61 TUI-related tests green across 3 consecutive xdist runs.
tests/tui_gateway/test_protocol.py:
- rename `get_messages` → `get_messages_as_conversation` on mock DB (method
was renamed in the real backend, test was still stubbing the old name)
- update tool-message shape expectation: `{role, name, context}` matches
current `_history_to_messages` output, not the legacy `{role, text}`
tests/hermes_cli/test_tui_resume_flow.py:
- `cmd_chat` grew a first-run provider-gate that bailed to "Run: hermes
setup" before `_launch_tui` was ever reached; 3 tests stubbed
`_resolve_last_session` + `_launch_tui` but not the gate
- factored a `main_mod` fixture that stubs `_has_any_provider_configured`,
reused by all three tests
tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py:
- `test_config_set_personality_resets_history_and_returns_info` was flaky
under xdist because the real `_write_config_key` touches
`~/.hermes/config.yaml`, racing with any other worker that writes
config. Stub it in the test.
The Discord voice receive path skipped RFC 3550 §5.1 padding handling,
passing padding-contaminated payloads into DAVE E2EE decrypt and Opus
decode. Symptoms in live VC sessions: deaf inbound speech, intermittent
empty STT results, "corrupted stream" decode errors — especially on the
first reply after join.
When the P bit is set in the RTP header, the last payload byte holds the
count of trailing padding bytes (including itself) that must be removed.
Receive pipeline now follows the spec order:
1. RTP header parse
2. NaCl transport decrypt (aead_xchacha20_poly1305_rtpsize)
3. strip encrypted RTP extension data from start
4. strip RTP padding from end if P bit set ← was missing
5. DAVE inner media decrypt
6. Opus decode
Drops malformed packets where pad_len is 0 or exceeds payload length.
Adds 7 integration tests covering valid padded packets, the X+P combined
case, padding under DAVE passthrough, and three malformed-padding paths.

When the dashboard connects to a remote gateway via GATEWAY_HEALTH_URL,
display the URL instead of the remote PID (which is meaningless locally).
Falls back to PID display for local gateways as before.
- Backend: expose gateway_health_url in /api/status response
- Frontend: prefer gateway_health_url over PID in gatewayValue()
- Add truncate + title tooltip for long URLs that overflow the card
- Add min-w-0/overflow-hidden on status cards for proper truncation
- Tests: verify gateway_health_url in remote and no-URL scenarios
Two new tests in tests/run_agent/ that pin the user-visible invariant
behind AlexKucera's Discord report (2026-04-16): no matter how a future
keepalive / transport fix for #10324 plumbs sockets in, sequential
chats on the same AIAgent instance must all succeed.
test_create_openai_client_reuse.py (no network, runs in CI):
- test_second_create_does_not_wrap_closed_transport_from_first
back-to-back _create_openai_client calls must not hand the same
http_client (after an SDK close) to the second construction
- test_replace_primary_openai_client_survives_repeated_rebuilds
three sequential rebuilds via the real _replace_primary_openai_client
entrypoint must each install a live client
test_sequential_chats_live.py (opt-in, HERMES_LIVE_TESTS=1):
- test_three_sequential_chats_across_client_rebuild
real OpenRouter round trips, with an explicit
_replace_primary_openai_client call between turns 2 and 3.
Error-sentinel detector treats 'API call failed after 3 retries'
replies as failures instead of letting them pass the naive
truthy check (which is how a first draft of this test missed
the bug it was meant to catch).
Validation:
clean main (post-revert, defensive copy present)
-> all 4 tests PASS
broken #10933 state (keepalive injection, no defensive copy)
-> all 4 tests FAIL with precise messages pointing at #10933
Companion to taeuk178's test_create_openai_client_kwargs_isolation.py,
which pins the syntactic 'don't mutate input dict' half of the same
contract. Together they catch both the specific mechanism of #10933
and any other reimplementation that breaks the sequential-call
invariant.
* fix(cli): stop approval panel from clipping approve/deny off-screen
The dangerous-command approval panel had an unbounded Window height with
choices at the bottom. When tirith findings produced long descriptions or
the terminal was compact, HSplit clipped the bottom of the widget — which
is exactly where approve/session/always/deny live. Users were asked to
decide on commands without being able to see the choices (and sometimes
the command itself was hidden too).
Fix: reorder the panel so title → command → choices render first, with
description last. Budget vertical rows so the mandatory content (command
and every choice) always fits, and truncate the description to whatever
row budget is left. Handle three edge cases:
- Long description in a normal terminal: description gets truncated at
the bottom with a '… (description truncated)' marker. Command and
all four choices always visible.
- Compact terminal (≤ ~14 rows): description dropped entirely. Command
and choices are the only content, no overflow.
- /view on a giant command: command gets truncated with a marker so
choices still render. Keeps at least 2 rows of command.
Same row-budgeting pattern applied to the clarify widget, which had the
identical structural bug (long question would push choices off-screen).
Adds regression tests covering all three scenarios.
* fix(cli): add compact chrome mode for approval/clarify panels on short terminals
Live PTY test at 100x14 rows revealed reserved_below=4 was too optimistic
— the spinner/tool-progress line, status bar, input area, separators, and
prompt symbol actually consume ~6 rows below the panel. At 14 rows, the
panel still got 'Deny' clipped off the bottom.
Fix: bump reserved_below to 6 (measured from live PTY output) and add a
compact-chrome mode that drops the blank separators between title/command
and command/choices when the full-chrome panel wouldn't fit. Chrome goes
from 5 rows to 3 rows in tight mode, keeping command + all 4 choices on
screen in terminals as small as ~13 rows.
Same compact-chrome pattern applied to the clarify widget.
Verified live in PTY hermes chat sessions at 100x14 (compact chrome
triggered, all choices visible) and 100x30 (full chrome with blanks, nice
spacing) by asking the agent to run 'rm -rf /tmp/sandbox'.

Users with 'commit.gpgsign = true' in their global git config got a
pinentry popup (or a failed commit) every time the agent took a
background filesystem snapshot — every write_file, patch, or diff
mid-session. With GPG_TTY unset, pinentry-qt/gtk would spawn a GUI
window, constantly interrupting the session.
The shadow repo is internal Hermes infrastructure. It must not
inherit user-level git settings (signing, hooks, aliases, credential
helpers, etc.) under any circumstance.
Fix is layered:
1. _git_env() sets GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=os.devnull,
GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM=os.devnull, and GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM=1. Shadow
git commands no longer see ~/.gitconfig or /etc/gitconfig at all
(uses os.devnull for Windows compat).
2. _init_shadow_repo() explicitly writes commit.gpgsign=false and
tag.gpgSign=false into the shadow's own config, so the repo is
correct even if inspected or run against directly without the
env vars, and for older git versions (<2.32) that predate
GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL.
3. _take() passes --no-gpg-sign inline on the commit call. This
covers existing shadow repos created before this fix — they will
never re-run _init_shadow_repo (it is gated on HEAD not existing),
so they would miss layer 2. Layer 1 still protects them, but the
inline flag guarantees correctness at the commit call itself.
Existing checkpoints, rollback, list, diff, and restore all continue
to work — history is untouched. Users who had the bug stop getting
pinentry popups; users who didn't see no observable change.
Tests: 5 new regression tests in TestGpgAndGlobalConfigIsolation,
including a full E2E repro with fake HOME, global gpgsign=true, and
a deliberately broken GPG binary — checkpoint succeeds regardless.

* fix(matrix): register MembershipEventDispatcher for invite auto-join
The mautrix migration (#7518) broke auto-join because InternalEventType.INVITE
events are only dispatched when MembershipEventDispatcher is registered on the

room invites.

* fix(matrix): remove dual ROOM_ENCRYPTED handler to fix dedup race
mautrix auto-registers DecryptionDispatcher when client.crypto is set.
The adapter also registered _on_encrypted_event for the same event type.
_on_encrypted_event had zero awaits and won the race to mark event IDs
in the dedup set, causing _on_room_message to drop successfully decrypted
events from DecryptionDispatcher. The retry loop masked this by re-decrypting
every message ~4 seconds later.
Remove _on_encrypted_event entirely. DecryptionDispatcher handles decryption;
genuinely undecryptable events are logged by mautrix and retried on next
key exchange.

* fix(matrix): re-verify device keys after share_keys() upload
Matrix homeservers treat ed25519 identity keys as immutable per device.
share_keys() can return 200 but silently ignore new keys if the device
already exists with different identity keys. The bot would proceed with
shared=True while peers encrypt to the old (unreachable) keys.
Now re-queries the server after share_keys() and fails closed if keys
don't match, with an actionable error message.

* fix(matrix): encrypt outbound attachments in E2EE rooms
_upload_and_send() uploaded raw bytes and used the 'url' key for all

(with key/iv/hashes) used instead of 'url'.

branches to the encrypted upload path.

* fix(matrix): add stop_typing to clear typing indicator after response
The adapter set a 30-second typing timeout but never cleared it.

* fix(matrix): cache all media types locally, not just photos/voice

* fix(matrix): detect stale OTK conflict on startup and fail closed
When crypto state is wiped but the same device ID is reused, the
homeserver may still hold one-time keys signed with the previous
identity key. Identity key re-upload succeeds but OTK uploads fail
with "already exists" and a signature mismatch. Peers cannot
establish new Olm sessions, so all new messages are undecryptable.
Now proactively flushes OTKs via share_keys() during connect() and
catches the "already exists" error with an actionable log message
telling the operator to purge the device from the homeserver or
generate a fresh device ID.
Also documents the crypto store recovery procedure in the Matrix
setup guide.

The blocking gateway approval wait at tools/approval.py called
`entry.event.wait(timeout=...)` which never touched the agent's
activity tracker. When a user was slow to respond to a /approve prompt
(or the gateway_timeout config was set higher than the default 300s),
the agent thread sat silent long enough for the gateway's inactivity
watchdog (agent.gateway_timeout, default 1800s) to kill it — even
though the agent was doing exactly the right thing and the user was
the one causing the delay.
The fix polls the event in 1s slices and calls touch_activity_if_due
between slices, mirroring the _wait_for_process() pattern in
tools/environments/base.py that covers the subprocess-waiting side of
the same problem. At the default 10s heartbeat cadence, a 300s
approval wait now pings activity ~30 times, well under the 1800s
idle threshold.
Observed in community user logs: 12 repeated 'Agent idle 1800s,
last_activity=executing tool: terminal' events across April 12-14.
Companion to PR #10501 which covered streaming / concurrent-tool /
Modal-backend gaps but did not touch approval.py.
Test: tests/tools/test_approval_heartbeat.py — verifies (1) heartbeats
fire during the wait, (2) user responses are still near-instant, and
(3) the approval path stays functional when the heartbeat helper
can't be imported.
Adds Google Gemini TTS as the seventh voice provider, with 30 prebuilt
voices (Zephyr, Puck, Kore, Enceladus, Gacrux, etc.) and natural-language
prompt control. Integrates through the existing provider chain:
- tools/tts_tool.py: new _generate_gemini_tts() calls the
generativelanguage REST endpoint with responseModalities=[AUDIO],
wraps the returned 24kHz mono 16-bit PCM (L16) in a WAV RIFF header,
then ffmpeg-converts to MP3 or Opus depending on output extension.
For .ogg output, libopus is forced explicitly so Telegram voice
bubbles get Opus (ffmpeg defaults to Vorbis for .ogg).
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: exposes 'Google Gemini TTS' as a provider
option in the curses-based 'hermes tools' UI.
- hermes_cli/setup.py: adds gemini to the setup wizard picker, tool
status display, and API key prompt branch (accepts existing
GEMINI_API_KEY or GOOGLE_API_KEY, falls back to Edge if neither set).
- tests/tools/test_tts_gemini.py: 15 unit tests covering WAV header
wrap correctness, env var fallback (GEMINI/GOOGLE), voice/model
overrides, snake_case vs camelCase inlineData handling, HTTP error
surfacing, and empty-audio edge cases.
- docs: TTS features page updated to list seven providers with the new
gemini config block and ffmpeg notes.
Live-tested against api key against gemini-2.5-flash-preview-tts: .wav,
.mp3, and Telegram-compatible .ogg (Opus codec) all produce valid
playable audio.
Replace the HERMES_ENABLE_NOUS_MANAGED_TOOLS env-var feature flag with
subscription-based detection. The Tool Gateway is now available to any
paid Nous subscriber without needing a hidden env var.
Core changes:
- managed_nous_tools_enabled() checks get_nous_auth_status() +
check_nous_free_tier() instead of an env var
- New use_gateway config flag per tool section (web, tts, browser,
image_gen) records explicit user opt-in and overrides direct API
keys at runtime
- New prefers_gateway(section) shared helper in tool_backend_helpers.py
used by all 4 tool runtimes (web, tts, image gen, browser)
UX flow:
- hermes model: after Nous login/model selection, shows a curses
prompt listing all gateway-eligible tools with current status.
User chooses to enable all, enable only unconfigured tools, or skip.
Defaults to Enable for new users, Skip when direct keys exist.
- hermes tools: provider selection now manages use_gateway flag —
selecting Nous Subscription sets it, selecting any other provider
clears it
- hermes status: renamed section to Nous Tool Gateway, added
free-tier upgrade nudge for logged-in free users
- curses_radiolist: new description parameter for multi-line context
that survives the screen clear
Runtime behavior:
- Each tool runtime (web_tools, tts_tool, image_generation_tool,
browser_use) checks prefers_gateway() before falling back to
direct env-var credentials
- get_nous_subscription_features() respects use_gateway flags,
suppressing direct credential detection when the user opted in
Removed:
- HERMES_ENABLE_NOUS_MANAGED_TOOLS env var and all references
- apply_nous_provider_defaults() silent TTS auto-set
- get_nous_subscription_explainer_lines() static text
- Override env var warnings (use_gateway handles this properly now)
Regression from #11161 (Claude Opus 4.7 migration, commit 0517ac3e).
The Opus 4.7 migration changed `ADAPTIVE_EFFORT_MAP["xhigh"]` from "max"
(the pre-migration alias) to "xhigh" to preserve the new 4.7 effort level
as distinct from max. This is correct for 4.7, but Opus/Sonnet 4.6 only
expose 4 levels (low/medium/high/max) — sending "xhigh" there now 400s:
BadRequestError [HTTP 400]: This model does not support effort
level 'xhigh'. Supported levels: high, low, max, medium.
Users who set reasoning_effort=xhigh as their default (xhigh is the
recommended default for coding/agentic on 4.7 per the Anthropic migration
guide) now 400 every request the moment they switch back to a 4.6 model
via `/model` or config. Verified live against the Anthropic API on
`anthropic==0.94.0`.
Fix: make the mapping model-aware. Add `_supports_xhigh_effort()`
predicate (matches 4-7/4.7 substrings, mirroring the existing
`_supports_adaptive_thinking` / `_forbids_sampling_params` pattern).
On pre-4.7 adaptive models, downgrade xhigh→max (the strongest effort
those models accept, restoring pre-migration behavior). On 4.7+, keep
xhigh as a distinct level.
Per Anthropic's migration guide, xhigh is 4.7-only:
https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/models/migration-guide
> Opus 4.7 effort levels: max, xhigh (new), high, medium, low.
> Opus 4.6 effort levels: max, high, medium, low.
SDK typing confirms: `anthropic.types.OutputConfigParam.effort: Literal[
"low", "medium", "high", "max"]` (v0.94.0 not yet updated for xhigh).
## Test plan
Verified live on macOS 15.5 / anthropic==0.94.0:
claude-opus-4-6 + effort=xhigh → output_config.effort=max → 200 OK
claude-opus-4-7 + effort=xhigh → output_config.effort=xhigh → 200 OK
claude-opus-4-6 + effort=max → output_config.effort=max → 200 OK
claude-opus-4-7 + effort=max → output_config.effort=max → 200 OK
`tests/agent/test_anthropic_adapter.py` — 120 pass (replaced 1 bugged
test that asserted the broken behavior, added 1 for 4.7 preservation).
Full adapter suite: 120 passed in 1.05s.
Broader suite (agent + run_agent + cli/gateway reasoning): 2140 passed
(2 pre-existing failures on clean upstream/main, unrelated).
## Platforms
Tested on macOS 15.5. No platform-specific code paths touched.
Claude Opus 4.7 introduced several breaking API changes that the current
codebase partially handled but not completely. This patch finishes the
migration per the official migration guide at
https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/models/migration-guideFixesNousResearch/hermes-agent#11137
Breaking-change coverage:
1. Adaptive thinking + output_config.effort — 4.7 is now recognized by
_supports_adaptive_thinking() (extends previous 4.6-only gate).
2. Sampling parameter stripping — 4.7 returns 400 for any non-default
temperature / top_p / top_k. build_anthropic_kwargs drops them as a
safety net; the OpenAI-protocol auxiliary path (_build_call_kwargs)
and AnthropicCompletionsAdapter.create() both early-exit before
setting temperature for 4.7+ models. This keeps flush_memories and
structured-JSON aux paths that hardcode temperature from 400ing
when the aux model is flipped to 4.7.
3. thinking.display = "summarized" — 4.7 defaults display to "omitted",
which silently hides reasoning text from Hermes's CLI activity feed
during long tool runs. Restoring "summarized" preserves 4.6 UX.
4. Effort level mapping — xhigh now maps to xhigh (was xhigh→max, which
silently over-efforted every coding/agentic request). max is now a
distinct ceiling per Anthropic's 5-level effort model.
5. New stop_reason values — refusal and model_context_window_exceeded
were silently collapsed to "stop" (end_turn) by the adapter's
stop_reason_map. Now mapped to "content_filter" and "length"
respectively, matching upstream finish-reason handling already in
bedrock_adapter.
6. Model catalogs — claude-opus-4-7 added to the Anthropic provider
list, anthropic/claude-opus-4.7 added at top of OpenRouter fallback
catalog (recommended), claude-opus-4-7 added to model_metadata
DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS (1M, matching 4.6 per migration guide).
7. Prefill docstrings — run_agent.AIAgent and BatchRunner now document
that Anthropic Sonnet/Opus 4.6+ reject a trailing assistant-role
prefill (400).
8. Tests — 4 new tests in test_anthropic_adapter covering display
default, xhigh preservation, max on 4.7, refusal / context-overflow
stop_reason mapping, plus the sampling-param predicate. test_model_metadata
accepts 4.7 at 1M context.
Tested on macOS 15.5 (darwin). 119 tests pass in
tests/agent/test_anthropic_adapter.py, 1320 pass in tests/agent/.

resolve_vision_provider_client() was receiving the raw call_llm

provider_model_ids() and list_authenticated_providers() had no case for
"ollama-cloud", so the /model slash command showed 0 models despite
fetch_ollama_cloud_models() being fully implemented. The CLI subcommand
worked because it called fetch_ollama_cloud_models() directly.

- Populate curated dict for ollama-cloud in list_authenticated_providers()
- Add tests for both code paths
When a cron job's agent run completes but produces an empty final_response
(e.g. API 404 from invalid model name), the scheduler now marks last_status
as "error" instead of "ok", so the failure is visible in job listings.
Previously, any run that didn't raise an exception was marked "ok" regardless
of whether the agent actually produced output.
Group A (3 tests): 'No LLM provider configured' RuntimeError
- test_user_message_surrogates_sanitized, test_counters_initialized_in_init,
test_openai_prompt_tokens_unchanged
- Root cause: AIAgent.__init__ now requires base_url alongside api_key to
skip resolve_provider_client() (which returns None when API keys are
blanked in CI). Added base_url='http://localhost:1234/v1' to test
agent construction.
Group B (5 tests): Discord slash command auto-registration
- test_auto_registers_missing_gateway_commands, test_auto_registered_command_*,
test_register_skill_group_*
- Root cause: xdist workers that loaded a discord mock WITHOUT
app_commands.Command/Group caused _register_slash_commands() to fail
silently. Added comprehensive shared discord mock in
tests/gateway/conftest.py (same pattern as existing telegram mock).
Group C (5 errors): Discord reply mode 'NoneType has no DMChannel'
- All TestReplyToText tests
- Root cause: FakeDMChannel was not a subclass of real discord.DMChannel,
so isinstance() checks in _handle_message failed when running in full
suite (real discord installed). Made FakeDMChannel inherit from
discord.DMChannel when available. Removed fragile monkeypatch approach.
Group D (2 tests): detect_provider_for_model wrong provider
- test_openrouter_slug_match (got 'ai-gateway'), test_bare_name_gets_
openrouter_slug (got 'copilot')
- Root cause: ai-gateway, copilot, and kilocode are multi-vendor
aggregators that list other providers' models (OpenRouter-style slugs).
They were being matched in Step 1 before OpenRouter. Added all three
to _AGGREGATORS set so they're skipped like nous/openrouter.
Group E (1 test): model_flow_custom StopIteration
- test_model_flow_custom_saves_verified_v1_base_url
- Root cause: 'Display name' prompt was added after the test was written.
The input iterator had 5 answers but the flow now asks 6 questions.
Added 6th empty string answer.
Group F (1 test): Telegram proxy env assertion
- test_uses_proxy_env_for_primary_and_fallback_transports
- Root cause: _resolve_proxy_url() now checks TELEGRAM_PROXY first
(via resolve_proxy_url('TELEGRAM_PROXY')). Test didn't clear this
env var, allowing potential leakage from other tests in xdist workers.
Added TELEGRAM_PROXY to the cleanup list.
config.yaml terminal.cwd is now the single source of truth for working
directory. MESSAGING_CWD and TERMINAL_CWD in .env are deprecated with a
migration warning.
Changes:
1. config.py: Remove MESSAGING_CWD from OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS (setup wizard
no longer prompts for it). Add warn_deprecated_cwd_env_vars() that
prints a migration hint when deprecated env vars are detected.
2. gateway/run.py: Replace all MESSAGING_CWD reads with TERMINAL_CWD
(which is bridged from config.yaml terminal.cwd). MESSAGING_CWD is
still accepted as a backward-compat fallback with deprecation warning.
Config bridge skips cwd placeholder values so they don't clobber
the resolved TERMINAL_CWD.
3. cli.py: Guard against lazy-import clobbering — when cli.py is
imported lazily during gateway runtime (via delegate_tool), don't
let load_cli_config() overwrite an already-resolved TERMINAL_CWD
with os.getcwd() of the service's working directory. (#10817)

Each top-level Slack DM now gets its own Hermes session, matching the
per-thread behavior channels already have. Previously all top-level DM
messages shared one continuous session because thread_ts was None,
causing context to accumulate across unrelated conversations.
The behavior is controlled by platforms.slack.extra.dm_top_level_threads_as_sessions
in config.yaml (default: true). Set to false to restore legacy behavior.
Based on PR #10789 by helix4u. Changes from original:
- Default flipped to true (was opt-in, now opt-out)
- Removed env var fallback (config.yaml only per project policy)
- Tests updated to cover both default and opt-out paths
Wraps provider.create_session() in _get_session_info() with try/except
to catch cloud provider runtime failures (timeouts, auth errors, rate
limits, invalid responses). Falls back to _create_local_session() so
browser automation continues working when cloud APIs are down.
Marks fallback sessions with fallback_from_cloud, fallback_reason, and
fallback_provider metadata for observability. If both cloud and local
fail, raises RuntimeError with chained context from both errors.

Camofox automatically maps each userId to a persistent Firefox profile
on the server side — no CAMOFOX_PROFILE_DIR env var exists. Our docs
incorrectly told users to configure this on the server.
Removed the fabricated env var from:
- browser docs (:::note block)
- config.py DEFAULT_CONFIG comment
- test docstring
Three targeted fixes for the 'agent stuck on terminal command' report:
1. **Concurrent tool wait loop now checks interrupts** (run_agent.py)
The sequential path checked _interrupt_requested before each tool call,
but the concurrent path's wait loop just blocked with 30s timeouts.
Now polls every 5s and cancels pending futures on interrupt, giving
already-running tools 3s to notice the per-thread interrupt signal.
2. **Cancelled concurrent tools get proper interrupt messages** (run_agent.py)
When a concurrent tool is cancelled or didn't return a result due to
interrupt, the tool result message says 'skipped due to user interrupt'
instead of a generic error.
3. **Typing indicator fires before follow-up turn** (gateway/run.py)
After an interrupt is acknowledged and the pending message dequeued,
the gateway now sends a typing indicator before starting the recursive
_run_agent call. This gives the user immediate visual feedback that
the system is processing their new message (closing the perceived
'dead air' gap between the interrupt ack and the response).
Reported by @_SushantSays.
Fixes 12 CI test failures:
1. test_cli_new_session (4): _FakeAgent missing commit_memory_session
attribute added in the memory provider refactoring. Added MagicMock.
2. test_run_progress_topics (1): already_sent detection only checked
stream consumer flags, missing the response_previewed path from
interim_assistant_callback. Restructured guard to check both paths.
3. test_timezone (1): HERMES_TIMEZONE leaked into child processes via
_SAFE_ENV_PREFIXES matching HERMES_*. The code correctly converts
it to TZ but didn't remove the original. Added child_env.pop().
4. test_session_env (1): contextvars baseline captured from a different
context couldn't be restored after clear. Changed assertion to verify
the test's value was removed rather than comparing to a fragile baseline.
5. test_discord_slash_commands (5): already fixed on current main.
When a user enters a local model server URL (Ollama, vLLM, llama.cpp)
without a /v1 suffix during 'hermes model' custom endpoint setup,
prompt them to add it. Most OpenAI-compatible local servers require
/v1 in the base URL for chat completions to work.
When a custom/Ollama provider is used and reasoning_effort is set to 'none'
(or enabled: false), inject 'think': false into the request extra_body.
Ollama does not recognise the OpenRouter-style 'reasoning' extra_body field,
so thinking-capable models (Qwen3, etc.) generate <think> blocks regardless
of the reasoning_effort setting. This produces empty-response errors that
corrupt session state.
The fix adds a provider-specific block in _build_api_kwargs() that sets
think=false in extra_body whenever self.provider == 'custom' and reasoning
is explicitly disabled.
Closes#3191
Gateway executor work now inherits the active session contextvars via

- Add GPT-5 → GPT-5 regression test (keeps codex_responses)
In Telegram forum-enabled groups, the General topic does not include
message_thread_id in incoming messages (it is None). This caused:
1. Messages in General losing thread context — replies went to wrong place
2. Typing indicator failing because thread_id=1 was rejected by Telegram
Fix: synthesize thread_id="1" for forum groups when message_thread_id
is None, then handle it correctly per operation:
- send: omit message_thread_id (Telegram rejects thread_id=1 for sends)
- typing: pass thread_id=1, retry without it on "thread not found"
Also centralizes thread_id extraction into _metadata_thread_id() across
all send methods (send, send_voice, send_image, send_document, send_video,
send_animation, send_photo), replacing ~10 duplicate patterns.

Expands the plugin interface so slash command handlers can dispatch tool
calls through the registry with parent agent context wired up automatically.
This is the public API for plugins that need to orchestrate tools like
delegate_task — they call ctx.dispatch_tool() instead of reaching into
framework internals. The parent agent is resolved lazily from _cli_ref
when available (CLI mode) and omitted in gateway mode (tools degrade
gracefully).
Enables the hermes-deliver-plugin pattern where /deliver and /fanout
slash commands spawn subagents via delegate_task without touching the
agent conversation loop.
7 new tests covering: registry delegation, parent_agent injection from
cli_ref, gateway mode (no cli_ref), uninitialized agent, explicit
parent_agent override, kwargs forwarding, return value passthrough.
Pass platform_env_var="TELEGRAM_PROXY" to resolve_proxy_url() in both

env var (env var takes precedence if both are set), add OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS
entry, docs, and tests.

Salvaged from PR #10643 by kshitijk4poor, updated for current main.
Root causes fixed:
1. Telegram xdist mock pollution — new tests/gateway/conftest.py with shared
mock that runs at collection time (prevents ChatType=None caching)
2. VIRTUAL_ENV env var leak — monkeypatch.delenv in _detect_venv_dir tests
3. Copilot base_url missing — add fallback in _resolve_runtime_from_pool_entry
4. Stale vision model assertion — zai now uses glm-5v-turbo
5. Reasoning item id intentionally stripped — assert 'id' not in (store=False)
6. Context length warning unreachable — pass base_url to AIAgent in test
7. Kimi provider label updated — 'Kimi / Kimi Coding Plan' matches models.py
8. Google Workspace calendar tests — rewritten for current production code,
properly mock subprocess on api_module, removed stale +agenda assertions
9. Credential pool auto-seeding — mock _select_pool_entry / _resolve_auto /
_import_codex_cli_tokens to prevent real credentials from leaking into tests
Complete the half-built plugin slash command system. The dispatch
code in cli.py and gateway/run.py already called
get_plugin_command_handler() but the registration side was never
implemented.
Changes:
- Add register_command() to PluginContext — stores handler,
description, and plugin name; normalizes names; rejects conflicts
with built-in commands
- Add _plugin_commands dict to PluginManager
- Add commands_registered tracking on LoadedPlugin
- Add get_plugin_command_handler() and get_plugin_commands()
module-level convenience functions
- Fix commands.py to use actual plugin description in Telegram
bot menu (was hardcoded 'Plugin command')
- Add plugin commands to SlashCommandCompleter autocomplete
- Show command count in /plugins display
- 12 new tests covering registration, conflict detection,
normalization, handler dispatch, and introspection
Closes#10495
Telegram on iOS auto-converts double hyphens (--) to em dashes (—)
or en dashes (–) via autocorrect. This breaks /model flag parsing
since parse_model_flags() only recognizes literal '--provider' and
'--global'.
When the flag isn't parsed, the entire string (e.g. 'glm-5.1 —provider zai')
gets treated as the model name and fails with 'Model names cannot
contain spaces.'
Fix: normalize Unicode dashes (U+2012-U+2015) to '--' when they
appear before flag keywords (provider, global), before flag extraction.
The existing test suite in test_model_switch_provider_routing.py
already covers all four dash variants — this commit adds the code
that makes them pass.
Replace inline Path.home() / '.hermes' / 'profiles' detection in both CLI
and gateway /profile handlers with the existing get_active_profile_name()
from hermes_cli.profiles — which already handles custom-root deployments,
standard profiles, and Docker layouts.
Fixes /profile incorrectly reporting 'default' when HERMES_HOME points to
a custom-root profile path like /opt/data/profiles/coder.

Text-only Matrix sends should continue using the lightweight _send_matrix()
HTTP helper (~100ms). Only route through the heavy MatrixAdapter (full sync +
E2EE setup) when media files are present. Adds test verifying text-only
messages don't take the adapter path.
Matrix media delivery was silently dropped by send_message because Matrix
wasn't wired into the native adapter-backed media path. Only Telegram,
Discord, and Weixin had native media support.
Adds _send_matrix_via_adapter() which creates a MatrixAdapter instance,
connects, sends text + media via the adapter's native upload methods
(send_document, send_image_file, send_video, send_voice), then disconnects.
Also fixes a stale URL-encoding assertion in test_send_message_missing_platforms
that broke after PR #10151 added quote() to room IDs.

Background review notifications ("💾 Skill created", "💾 Memory updated")
could race ahead of the main assistant reply in chat, making it look like
the agent stopped after creating a skill.
Gate bg-review notifications behind a threading.Event + pending queue.
Register a release callback on the adapter's _post_delivery_callbacks dict
so base.py's finally block fires it after the main response is delivered.
The queued-message path in _run_agent pops and calls the callback directly
to prevent double-fire.

Closes#10541
When Nous returns a 429, the retry amplification chain burns up to 9
API requests per conversation turn (3 SDK retries × 3 Hermes retries),
each counting against RPH and deepening the rate limit. With multiple
concurrent sessions (cron + gateway + auxiliary), this creates a spiral
where retries keep the limit tapped indefinitely.
New module: agent/nous_rate_guard.py
- Shared file-based rate limit state (~/.hermes/rate_limits/nous.json)
- Parses reset time from x-ratelimit-reset-requests-1h, x-ratelimit-
reset-requests, retry-after headers, or error context
- Falls back to 5-minute default cooldown if no header data
- Atomic writes (tempfile + rename) for cross-process safety
- Auto-cleanup of expired state files
run_agent.py changes:
- Top-of-retry-loop guard: when another session already recorded Nous
as rate-limited, skip the API call entirely. Try fallback provider
first, then return a clear message with the reset time.
- On 429 from Nous: record rate limit state and skip further retries
(sets retry_count = max_retries to trigger fallback path)
- On success from Nous: clear the rate limit state so other sessions
know they can resume
auxiliary_client.py changes:
- _try_nous() checks rate guard before attempting Nous in the auxiliary
fallback chain. When rate-limited, returns (None, None) so the chain
skips to the next provider instead of piling more requests onto Nous.
This eliminates three sources of amplification:
1. Hermes-level retries (saves 6 of 9 calls per turn)
2. Cross-session retries (cron + gateway all skip Nous)
3. Auxiliary fallback to Nous (compression/session_search skip too)
Includes 24 tests covering the rate guard module, header parsing,
state lifecycle, and auxiliary client integration.
Extract resolve_channel_prompt() shared helper into
gateway/platforms/base.py. Refactor Discord to use it.
Wire channel_prompts into Telegram (groups + forum topics),
Slack (channels), and Mattermost (channels).
Config bridging now applies to all platforms (not just Discord).
Added channel_prompts defaults to telegram/slack/mattermost
config sections.
Docs added to all four platform pages with platform-specific
examples (topic inheritance for Telegram, channel IDs for Slack,
etc.).
Move _ensure_discord_mock() from module level to _make_adapter() so it
doesn't poison sys.modules for other discord test files. Use
types.ModuleType instead of MagicMock for the mock module to avoid
auto-generated __file__ attribute confusing hasattr checks.
Add BrennerSpear to AUTHOR_MAP.
- Remove double str() normalization in _resolve_channel_prompt since
config bridging already handles numeric YAML key conversion
- Remove dead prompts.get(str(key)) fallback that could never match
after keys were already normalized to strings
- Replace getattr(event, "channel_prompt", None) with direct attribute
access since channel_prompt is a declared dataclass field
- Update test to verify normalization responsibility lives in config bridging
When proxy env vars (HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, ALL_PROXY) contain
malformed URLs — e.g. 'http://127.0.0.1:6153export' from a broken
shell config — the OpenAI/httpx client throws a cryptic 'Invalid port'
error that doesn't identify the offending variable.
Add _validate_proxy_env_urls() and _validate_base_url() in
auxiliary_client.py, called from resolve_provider_client() and
_create_openai_client() to fail fast with a clear, actionable error
message naming the broken env var or URL.

Found via trace data audit: JWT tokens (eyJ...) and Discord snowflake
mentions (<@ID>) were passing through unredacted.
JWT pattern: matches 1/2/3-part tokens starting with eyJ (base64 for '{').
Zero false-positive risk — no normal text matches eyJ + 10+ base64url chars.
Discord pattern: matches <@digits> and <@!digits> with 17-20 digit snowflake
IDs. Syntactically unique to Discord's mention format.
Both patterns follow the same structural-uniqueness standard as existing
prefix patterns (sk-, ghp_, AKIA, etc.).
_parse_session_key() blindly assigned parts[5] as thread_id for all
chat types. For group sessions with per-user isolation, parts[5] is
a user_id, not a thread_id. This could cause shutdown notifications
to route with incorrect thread metadata.
Only return thread_id for chat types where the 6th element is
unambiguous: dm and thread. For group/channel sessions, omit
thread_id since the suffix may be a user_id.
Based on the approach from PR #9938 by @Ruzzgar.
OpenCode Go does not expose a shared /models endpoint, so the doctor
probe was always failing and producing a false warning. Set the default
URL to None and disable the health check for this provider.
Both /queue and /quit registered 'q' as an alias. Since /quit appeared
later in COMMAND_REGISTRY, _build_command_lookup() silently overwrote
/queue's claim, making the documented /queue shorthand unusable.
Fix: remove 'q' from /quit's aliases. /quit already has 'exit' as an
alias plus the full '/quit' command. /queue has no other short alias.
Closes#10467
The recovery block previously only retried (continue) when one of the
per-component sanitization checks (messages, tools, system prompt,
headers, credentials) found and stripped non-ASCII content. When the
non-ASCII lived only in api_messages' reasoning_content field (which
is built from messages['reasoning'] and not checked by the original
_sanitize_messages_non_ascii), all checks returned False and the
recovery fell through to the normal error path — burning a retry
attempt despite _force_ascii_payload being set.
Now the recovery always continues (retries) when _is_ascii_codec is
detected. The _force_ascii_payload flag guarantees the next iteration
runs _sanitize_structure_non_ascii(api_kwargs) on the full API payload,
catching any remaining non-ASCII regardless of where it lives.
Also adds test for the 'reasoning' field on canonical messages.
Fixes#6843
The ASCII-locale recovery path in run_agent.py sanitized the canonical
'messages' list but left 'api_messages' untouched. api_messages is a
separate API-copy built before the retry loop and may carry extra fields
(reasoning_content, extra_body entries) that are not present in
'messages'. This caused the retry to still raise UnicodeEncodeError even
after the 'System encoding is ASCII — stripped...' log line appeared.
Two changes:
- _sanitize_messages_non_ascii now walks all extra top-level string fields
in each message dict (any key not in {content, name, tool_calls, role})
so reasoning_content and future extras are cleaned in both 'messages'
and 'api_messages'.
- The ASCII-codec recovery block now also calls sanitize on api_messages
and api_kwargs so no non-ASCII survives into the next retry attempt.
Adds regression tests covering:
- reasoning_content with non-ASCII in api_messages
- extra_body with non-ASCII in api_kwargs
- canonical messages clean but api_messages dirty
Fixes#6843
After clear_session_vars() reset contextvars to their default (''),
get_session_env() treated the empty string as falsy and fell through
to os.environ — resurrecting stale HERMES_SESSION_* values from CLI
startup, cron, or previous sessions. This broke session isolation
in the gateway where concurrent messages could see each other's
stale environment values.
Fix: use a sentinel (_UNSET) as the contextvar default instead of ''.
get_session_env() now checks 'value is not _UNSET' instead of
truthiness. Three states are cleanly distinguished:
- _UNSET (never set): fall back to os.environ (CLI/cron compat)
- '' (explicitly cleared): return '' — no os.environ fallback
- 'telegram' (actively set): return the value
clear_session_vars() now uses var.set('') instead of var.reset(token)
to mark vars as explicitly cleared rather than reverting to _UNSET.
Closes#10304
When a model (e.g. mimo-v2-pro) streams intermediate text alongside tool
calls ("Let me search for that") but then returns empty after processing
tool results, the stream consumer already_sent flag is True from the
earlier text delivery. The gateway suppression check
(already_sent=True, failed=False → return None) would swallow the final
response, leaving the user staring at silence after the search.
Two changes:
1. gateway/run.py return path: skip already_sent suppression when the
final_response is "(empty)" or empty — the user needs to know the
agent finished even if streaming sent partial content earlier.
2. gateway/run.py response handler: convert the internal "(empty)"
sentinel to a user-friendly warning instead of delivering the raw
sentinel string.
Tests added for all empty/None/sentinel cases plus preserved existing
suppression behavior for normal non-empty responses.
Memory provider discovery (discover_memory_providers, load_memory_provider)
only scanned the bundled plugins/memory/ directory. User-installed providers
at $HERMES_HOME/plugins/<name>/ were invisible, forcing users to symlink
into the repo source tree — which broke on hermes update and created a
dual-registration path causing duplicate tool names (400 errors on strict
providers like Xiaomi MiMo).
Changes:
- Add _get_user_plugins_dir(), _is_memory_provider_dir(), _iter_provider_dirs(),
and find_provider_dir() helpers to plugins/memory/__init__.py
- discover_memory_providers() now scans both bundled and user dirs
- load_memory_provider() uses find_provider_dir() (bundled-first)
- discover_plugin_cli_commands() uses find_provider_dir()
- _install_dependencies() in memory_setup.py uses find_provider_dir()
- User plugins use _hermes_user_memory namespace to avoid sys.modules collisions
- Non-memory user plugins filtered via source text heuristic
- Bundled providers always take precedence on name collisions
Fixes#4956, #9099. Supersedes #4987, #9123, #9130, #9132, #9982.
Discord's _register_slash_commands() had a hardcoded list of ~27 commands
while COMMAND_REGISTRY defines 34+ gateway-available commands. Missing
commands (debug, branch, rollback, snapshot, profile, yolo, fast, reload,
commands) were invisible in Discord's / autocomplete — users couldn't
discover them.
Add a dynamic catch-all loop after the explicit registrations that
iterates COMMAND_REGISTRY, skips already-registered commands, and
auto-registers the rest using discord.app_commands.Command(). Commands
with args_hint get an optional string parameter; parameterless commands
get a simple callback.
This ensures any future commands added to COMMAND_REGISTRY automatically
appear on Discord without needing a manual entry in discord.py.
Telegram and Slack already derive dynamically from COMMAND_REGISTRY
via telegram_bot_commands() and slack_subcommand_map() — no changes
needed there.
When a user runs /browser connect to attach browser tools to their real
Chrome instance via CDP, the BROWSER_CDP_URL env var is set. However,
every browser tool function checks _is_camofox_mode() first, which
short-circuits to the Camofox backend before _get_session_info() ever
checks for the CDP override.
Fix: is_camofox_mode() now returns False when BROWSER_CDP_URL is set,
so the explicit CDP connection takes priority. This is the correct
behavior — /browser connect is an intentional user override.

Models (especially open-source like qwen3.5-plus) may send non-int values
for the limit parameter — None (JSON null), string, or even a type object.
This caused TypeError: '<=' not supported between instances of 'int' and
'type' when the value reached min()/comparison operations.
Changes:
- Add defensive int coercion at session_search() entry with fallback to 3
- Clamp limit to [1, 5] range (was only capped at 5, not floored)
- Add tests for None, type object, string, negative, and zero limit values

Memory provider plugins (e.g. Mnemosyne) can register tools via two paths:
1. Plugin system (ctx.register_tool) → tool registry → get_tool_definitions()
2. Memory manager → get_all_tool_schemas() → direct append in AIAgent.__init__
Path 2 blindly appended without checking if path 1 already added the same
tool names. This created duplicate function names in the tools array sent
to the API. Most providers silently handle duplicates, but Xiaomi MiMo
(via Nous Portal) strictly rejects them with a 400 Bad Request.
Fix: build a set of existing tool names before memory manager injection
and skip any tool whose name is already present.
Confirmed via live testing against Nous Portal:
- Unique tool names → 200 OK
- Duplicate tool names → 400 'Provider returned error'
- Pastes uploaded by /debug now auto-delete after 1 hour via a detached
background process that sends DELETE to paste.rs
- CLI: shows privacy notice listing what data will be uploaded
- Gateway: only uploads summary report (system info + log tails), NOT
full log files containing conversation content
- Added 'hermes debug delete <url>' for immediate manual deletion
- 16 new tests covering auto-delete scheduling, paste deletion, privacy
notices, and the delete subcommand
Addresses user privacy concern where /debug uploaded full conversation
logs to a public paste service with no warning or expiry.
Two gateway fixes:
1. MessageDeduplicator.is_duplicate() now checks TTL at query time (#10306)
Previously, is_duplicate() returned True for any previously seen ID
without checking its age — expired entries were only purged when cache
size exceeded max_size. On normal workloads that never overflow, message
IDs stayed deduplicated forever instead of expiring after the TTL.
Fix: check `now - timestamp < ttl` before returning True. Expired
entries are removed and treated as new messages.
2. Gateway --config flag now uses yaml.safe_load() (#10216)
The --config CLI flag in gateway/run.py main() used json.load() to
parse config files. YAML is the only documented config format and
every other config loader uses yaml.safe_load(). A YAML config file
passed via --config would crash with json.JSONDecodeError.
Closes#10306Closes#10216
The on_memory_write bridge that notifies external memory providers
(ClawMem, retaindb, supermemory, etc.) of built-in memory writes was
only present in the concurrent tool execution path (_invoke_tool).
The sequential path (_execute_tool_calls_sequential) — which handles
all single tool calls, the common case — was missing it entirely.
This meant external memory providers silently missed every single-call
memory write, which is the vast majority of memory operations.
Fix: add the identical bridge block to the sequential path, right
after the memory_tool call returns.
Closes#10174
Multiple gaps in activity tracking could cause the gateway's inactivity
timeout to fire while the agent is actively working:
1. Streaming wait loop had no periodic heartbeat — the outer thread only
touched activity when the stale-stream detector fired (180-300s), and
for local providers (Ollama) the stale timeout was infinity, meaning
zero heartbeats. Now touches activity every 30s.
2. Concurrent tool execution never set the activity callback on worker
threads (threading.local invisible across threads) and never set
_current_tool. Workers now set the callback, and the concurrent wait
uses a polling loop with 30s heartbeats.
3. Modal backend's execute() override had its own polling loop without
any activity callback. Now matches _wait_for_process cadence (10s).
The _client_cache used event loop id() as part of the cache key, so
every new worker-thread event loop created a new entry for the same
provider config. In long-running gateways where threads are recycled
frequently, this caused unbounded cache growth — each stale entry
held an unclosed AsyncOpenAI client with its httpx connection pool,
eventually exhausting file descriptors.
Fix: remove loop_id from the cache key and instead validate on each
async cache hit that the cached loop is the current, open loop. If
the loop changed or was closed, the stale entry is replaced in-place
rather than creating an additional entry. This bounds cache growth
to at most one entry per unique provider config.
Also adds a _CLIENT_CACHE_MAX_SIZE (64) safety belt with FIFO
eviction as defense-in-depth against any remaining unbounded growth.
Cross-loop safety is preserved: different event loops still get
different client instances (validated by existing test suite).
Closes#10200
OV transparently handles message history across /new and /compress: old
messages stay in the same session and extraction is idempotent, so there's
no need to rebind providers to a new session_id. The only thing the
session boundary actually needs is to trigger extraction.
- MemoryProvider / MemoryManager: remove on_session_reset hook
- OpenViking: remove on_session_reset override (nothing to do)
- AIAgent: replace rotate_memory_session with commit_memory_session
(just calls on_session_end, no rebind)
- cli.py / run_agent.py: single commit_memory_session call at the
session boundary before session_id rotates
- tests: replace on_session_reset coverage with routing tests for
MemoryManager.on_session_end

Replace hasattr-forked OpenViking-specific paths with a proper base-class
hook. Collapse the two agent wrappers into a single rotate_memory_session
so callers don't orchestrate commit + rebind themselves.
- MemoryProvider: add on_session_reset(new_session_id) as a default no-op
- MemoryManager: on_session_reset fans out unconditionally (no hasattr,
no builtin skip — base no-op covers it)
- OpenViking: rename reset_session -> on_session_reset; drop the explicit
POST /api/v1/sessions (OV auto-creates on first message) and the two
debug raise_for_status wrappers
- AIAgent: collapse commit_memory_session + reinitialize_memory_session
into rotate_memory_session(new_sid, messages)
- cli.py / run_agent.py: replace hasattr blocks and the split calls with
a single unconditional rotate_memory_session call; compression path
now passes the real messages list instead of []
- tests: align with on_session_reset, assert reset does NOT POST /sessions

The OpenViking memory provider extracts memories when its session is
committed (POST /api/v1/sessions/{id}/commit). Before this fix, the
CLI had two code paths that changed the active session_id without ever
committing the outgoing OpenViking session:
1. /new (new_session() in cli.py) — called flush_memories() to write
MEMORY.md, then immediately discarded the old session_id. The
accumulated OpenViking session was never committed, so all context
from that session was lost before extraction could run.
2. /compress and auto-compress (_compress_context() in run_agent.py) —
split the SQLite session (new session_id) but left the OpenViking
provider pointing at the old session_id with no commit, meaning all
messages synced to OpenViking were silently orphaned.
The gateway already handles session commit on /new and /reset via
shutdown_memory_provider() on the cached agent; the CLI path did not.
Fix: introduce a lightweight session-transition lifecycle alongside
the existing full shutdown path:
- OpenVikingMemoryProvider.reset_session(new_session_id): waits for
in-flight background threads, resets per-session counters, and
creates the new OV session via POST /api/v1/sessions — without
tearing down the HTTP client (avoids connection overhead on /new).
- MemoryManager.restart_session(new_session_id): calls reset_session()
on providers that implement it; falls back to initialize() for
providers that do not. Skips the builtin provider (no per-session
state).
- AIAgent.commit_memory_session(messages): wraps
memory_manager.on_session_end() without shutdown — commits OV session
for extraction but leaves the provider alive for the next session.
- AIAgent.reinitialize_memory_session(new_session_id): wraps
memory_manager.restart_session() — transitions all external providers
to the new session after session_id has been assigned.
Call sites:
- cli.py new_session(): commit BEFORE session_id changes, reinitialize
AFTER — ensuring OV extraction runs on the correct session and the
new session is immediately ready for the next turn.
- run_agent._compress_context(): same pattern, inside the
if self._session_db: block where the session_id split happens.
/compress and auto-compress are functionally identical at this layer:
both call _compress_context(), so both are fixed by the same change.
Tests added to tests/agent/test_memory_provider.py:
- TestMemoryManagerRestartSession: reset_session() routing, builtin
skip, initialize() fallback, failure tolerance, empty-manager noop.
- TestOpenVikingResetSession: session_id update, per-session state
clear, POST /api/v1/sessions call, API failure tolerance, no-client
noop.

_parse_session_key() now extracts the optional 6th part (thread_id) from
session keys, and _notify_active_sessions_of_shutdown uses _parsed.get()
instead of the removed 'parts' variable. Without this, shutdown notifications
silently failed (NameError caught by try/except) and forum topic routing
was lost.
- Populate watcher_* routing fields for watch-only processes (not just
notify_on_complete), so watch-pattern events carry direct metadata
instead of relying solely on session_key parsing fallback
- Extract _parse_session_key() helper to dedupe session key parsing
at two call sites in gateway/run.py
- Add negative test proving cross-thread leakage doesn't happen
- Add edge-case tests for _build_process_event_source returning None
(empty evt, invalid platform, short session_key)
- Add unit tests for _parse_session_key helper
Follow-up to #10459 (salvage of #7527). The copy_context() fix propagates
ALL ContextVars into the cron worker thread, including credential_files.
This test verifies that skill-declared required_credential_files are
visible inside the worker thread, matching the existing env_passthrough
regression test.
- Fix file handle closed before POST: nest session.post() inside
the 'with open()' block so aiohttp can read the file during upload
- Update warning text to include weixin (also supports media delivery)
- Add 8 unit tests covering: text+media, media-only, missing files,
upload failures, multiple files, and _send_to_platform routing
* fix(gateway): suppress duplicate replies on interrupt and streaming flood control
Three fixes for the duplicate reply bug affecting all gateway platforms:
1. base.py: Suppress stale response when the session was interrupted by a
new message that hasn't been consumed yet. Checks both interrupt_event
and _pending_messages to avoid false positives. (#8221, #2483)
2. run.py (return path): Remove response_previewed guard from already_sent
check. Stream consumer's already_sent alone is authoritative — if
content was delivered via streaming, the duplicate send must be
suppressed regardless of the agent's response_previewed flag. (#8375)
3. run.py (queued-message path): Same fix — already_sent without
response_previewed now correctly marks the first response as already
streamed, preventing re-send before processing the queued message.
The response_previewed field is still produced by the agent (run_agent.py)
but is no longer required as a gate for duplicate suppression. The stream
consumer's already_sent flag is the delivery-level truth about what the
user actually saw.
Concepts from PR #8380 (konsisumer). Closes#8375, #8221, #2483.
* fix(cron): include job_id in delivery and guide models on removal workflow
Users reported cron reminders keep firing after asking the agent to stop.
Root cause: the conversational agent didn't know the job_id (not in delivery)
and models don't reliably do the list→remove two-step without guidance.
1. Include job_id in the cron delivery wrapper so users and agents can
reference it when requesting removal.
2. Replace confusing footer ('The agent cannot see this message') with
actionable guidance ('To stop or manage this job, send me a new
message').
3. Add explicit list→remove guidance in the cronjob tool schema so models
know to list first and never guess job IDs.

With store=False (our default for the Responses API), the API does not
persist response items. When reasoning items with 'id' fields were
replayed on subsequent turns, the API attempted a server-side lookup
for those IDs and returned 404:
Item with id 'rs_...' not found. Items are not persisted when store
is set to false.
The encrypted_content blob is self-contained for reasoning chain
continuity — the id field is unnecessary and triggers the failed lookup.
Fix: strip 'id' from reasoning items in both _chat_messages_to_responses_input
(message conversion) and _preflight_codex_input_items (normalization layer).
The id is still used for local deduplication but never sent to the API.
Reported by @zuogl448 on GPT-5.4.
Matrix room IDs contain ! and : which must be percent-encoded in URI
path segments per the Matrix C-S spec. Without encoding, some
homeservers reject the PUT request.
Also adds 'matrix:!roomid:server.org' and 'matrix:@user:server.org'
to the tool schema examples so models know the correct target format.
Expose skill usage in analytics so the dashboard and insights output can
show which skills the agent loads and manages over time.
This adds skill aggregation to the InsightsEngine by extracting
`skill_view` and `skill_manage` calls from assistant tool_calls,
computing per-skill totals, and including the results in both terminal
and gateway insights formatting. It also extends the dashboard analytics
API and Analytics page to render a Top Skills table.
Terminology is aligned with the skills docs:
- Agent Loaded = `skill_view` events
- Agent Managed = `skill_manage` actions
Architecture:
- agent/insights.py collects and aggregates per-skill usage
- hermes_cli/web_server.py exposes `skills` on `/api/analytics/usage`
- web/src/lib/api.ts adds analytics skill response types
- web/src/pages/AnalyticsPage.tsx renders the Top Skills table
- web/src/i18n/{en,zh}.ts updates user-facing labels
Tests:
- tests/agent/test_insights.py covers skill aggregation and formatting
- tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py covers analytics API contract
including the `skills` payload
- verified with `cd web && npm run build`
Files changed:

hermes doctor now checks whether the ~/.local/bin/hermes symlink exists
and points to the correct venv entry point. With --fix, it creates or
repairs the symlink automatically.
Covers:
- Missing symlink at ~/.local/bin/hermes (or $PREFIX/bin on Termux)
- Symlink pointing to wrong target
- Missing venv entry point (venv/bin/hermes or .venv/bin/hermes)
- PATH warning when ~/.local/bin is not on PATH
- Skipped on Windows (different mechanism)
Addresses user report: 'python -m hermes_cli.main doesn't have an option
to fix the local bin/install'
10 new tests covering all scenarios.
On some Python versions, argparse fails to route subcommand tokens when
the parent parser has nargs='?' optional arguments (--continue). The
symptom: 'hermes model' produces 'unrecognized arguments: model' even
though 'model' is a registered subcommand.
Fix: when argv contains a token matching a known subcommand, set
subparsers.required=True to force deterministic routing. If that fails
(e.g. 'hermes -c model' where 'model' is consumed as the session name
for --continue), fall back to the default optional-subparsers behaviour.
Adds 13 tests covering all key argument combinations.
Reported via user screenshot showing the exact error on an installed
version with the model subcommand listed in usage but rejected at parse
time.
The existing recovery block sanitized self.api_key and
self._client_kwargs['api_key'] but did not update self.client.api_key.
The OpenAI SDK stores its own copy of api_key and reads it dynamically
via the auth_headers property on every request. Without this fix, the
retry after sanitization would still send the corrupted key in the
Authorization header, causing the same UnicodeEncodeError.
The bug manifests when an API key contains Unicode lookalike characters
(e.g. ʋ U+028B instead of v) from copy-pasting out of PDFs, rich-text
editors, or web pages with decorative fonts. httpx hard-encodes all
HTTP headers as ASCII, so the non-ASCII char in the Authorization
header triggers the error.
Adds TestApiKeyClientSync with two tests verifying:
- All three key locations are synced after sanitization
- Recovery handles client=None (pre-init) without crashing
Previously, non-integer context_length values (e.g. '256K') in
config.yaml were silently ignored, causing the agent to fall back
to 128K auto-detection with no user feedback. This was confusing
for users with custom LiteLLM endpoints expecting larger context.
Now prints a clear stderr warning and logs at WARNING level when
model.context_length or custom_providers[].models.<model>.context_length
cannot be parsed as an integer, telling users to use plain integers
(e.g. 256000 instead of '256K').
Reported by community user ChFarhan via Discord.
When a user sends a message while the agent is executing a task on the
gateway, the agent is now interrupted immediately — not silently queued.
Previously, messages were stored in _pending_messages with zero feedback
to the user, potentially leaving them waiting 1+ hours.
Root cause: Level 1 guard (base.py) intercepted all messages for active
sessions and returned with no response. Level 2 (gateway/run.py) which
calls agent.interrupt() was never reached.
Fix: Expand _handle_active_session_busy_message to handle the normal
(non-draining) case:
1. Call running_agent.interrupt(text) to abort in-flight tool calls
and exit the agent loop at the next check point
2. Store the message as pending so it becomes the next turn once the
interrupted run returns
3. Send a brief ack: 'Interrupting current task (10 min elapsed,
iteration 21/60, running: terminal). I'll respond shortly.'
4. Debounce acks to once per 30s to avoid spam on rapid messages

- find_docker() now checks HERMES_DOCKER_BINARY env var first, then
docker on PATH, then podman on PATH, then macOS known locations
- Entrypoint respects HERMES_HOME env var (was hardcoded to /opt/data)
- Entrypoint uses groupmod -o to tolerate non-unique GIDs (fixes macOS
GID 20 conflict with Debian's dialout group)
- Entrypoint makes chown best-effort so rootless Podman continues
instead of failing with 'Operation not permitted'
- 5 new tests covering env var override, podman fallback, precedence
Based on work by alanjds (PR #3996) and malaiwah (PR #8115).
Closes#4084.
When compression fails after max attempts, the agent returns
{completed: False, partial: True} but was missing the 'failed' flag.
The gateway's agent_failed_early guard checked for 'failed' AND
'not final_response', but _run_agent_blocking always converts errors
to final_response — making the guard dead code. This caused the
oversized session to persist, creating an infinite fail loop where
every subsequent message hits the same compression failure.
Changes:
- run_agent.py: add 'failed: True' and 'compression_exhausted: True'
to all 5 compression-exhaustion return paths
- gateway/run.py (_run_agent_blocking): forward 'failed' and
'compression_exhausted' flags through to the caller
- gateway/run.py (_handle_message_with_agent): fix agent_failed_early
to check bool(failed) without the broken 'not final_response' clause;
auto-reset the session when compression is exhausted so the next
message starts fresh
- Update tests to match new guard logic and add
TestCompressionExhaustedFlag test class
Closes#9893
The /v1/responses endpoint generated a new UUID session_id for every
request, even when previous_response_id was provided. This caused each
turn of a multi-turn conversation to appear as a separate session on the
web dashboard, despite the conversation history being correctly chained.
Fix: store session_id alongside the response in the ResponseStore, and
reuse it when a subsequent request chains via previous_response_id.
Applies to both the non-streaming /v1/responses path and the streaming
SSE path. The /v1/runs endpoint also gains session continuity from
stored responses (explicit body.session_id still takes priority).
Adds test verifying session_id is preserved across chained requests.
The streaming path emits output as content-part arrays for Open WebUI
compatibility, but the batch (non-streaming) Responses API path must
return output as a plain string per the OpenAI Responses API spec.
Reverts the _extract_output_items change from the cherry-picked commits
while preserving the streaming path's array format.
API keys containing Unicode lookalike characters (e.g. ʋ U+028B instead
of v) cause UnicodeEncodeError when httpx encodes the Authorization
header as ASCII. This commonly happens when users copy-paste keys from
PDFs, rich-text editors, or web pages with decorative fonts.
Three layers of defense:
1. **Save-time validation** (hermes_cli/config.py):
_check_non_ascii_credential() strips non-ASCII from credential values
when saving to .env, with a clear warning explaining the issue.
2. **Load-time sanitization** (hermes_cli/env_loader.py):
_sanitize_loaded_credentials() strips non-ASCII from credential env
vars (those ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY) after dotenv
loads them, so the rest of the codebase never sees non-ASCII keys.
3. **Runtime recovery** (run_agent.py):
The UnicodeEncodeError recovery block now also sanitizes self.api_key
and self._client_kwargs['api_key'], fixing the gap where message/tool
sanitization succeeded but the API key still caused httpx to fail on
the Authorization header.
Also: hermes_logging.py RotatingFileHandler now explicitly sets
encoding='utf-8' instead of relying on locale default (defensive
hardening for ASCII-locale systems).
Previously, systemd_restart() sent SIGUSR1 to the gateway, printed
'restart requested', and returned immediately. The gateway still
needed to drain active agents, exit with code 75, wait for systemd's
RestartSec=30, and start the new process. The user saw 'success' but
the gateway was actually down for 30-60 seconds.
Now the SIGUSR1 path blocks with progress feedback:
Phase 1 — wait for old process to die:
⏳ User service draining active work...
Polls os.kill(pid, 0) until ProcessLookupError (up to 90s)
Phase 2 — wait for new process to become active:
⏳ Waiting for hermes-gateway to restart...
Polls systemctl is-active + verifies new PID (up to 60s)
Success:
✓ User service restarted (PID 12345)
Timeout:
⚠ User service did not become active within 60s.
Check status: hermes gateway status
Check logs: journalctl --user -u hermes-gateway --since '2 min ago'
The reload-or-restart fallback path (line 1189) already blocks because
systemctl reload-or-restart is synchronous.
Test plan:
- Updated test to verify wait-for-restart behavior
- All 118 gateway CLI tests pass
When a session gets stuck (hung terminal, runaway tool loop) and the
user restarts the gateway, the same session history loads and puts the
agent right back in the stuck state. The user is trapped in a loop:
restart → stuck → restart → stuck.
Fix: track restart-failure counts per session using a simple JSON file
(.restart_failure_counts). On each shutdown with active agents, the
counter increments for those sessions. On startup, if any session has
been active across 3+ consecutive restarts, it's auto-suspended —
giving the user a clean slate on their next message.
The counter resets to 0 when a session completes a turn successfully
(response delivered), so normal sessions that happen to be active
during planned restarts (/restart, hermes update) won't accumulate
false counts.
Implementation:
- _increment_restart_failure_counts(): called during stop() when
agents are active. Writes {session_key: count} to JSON file.
Sessions NOT active are dropped (loop broken).
- _suspend_stuck_loop_sessions(): called on startup. Reads the file,
suspends sessions at threshold (3), clears the file.
- _clear_restart_failure_count(): called after successful response
delivery. Removes the session from the counter file.
No SessionEntry schema changes. No database migration. Pure file-based
tracking that naturally cleans up.
Test plan:
- 9 new stuck-loop tests (increment, accumulate, threshold, clear,
suspend, file cleanup, edge cases)
- All 28 gateway lifecycle tests pass (restart drain + auto-continue
+ stuck loop)
When the gateway restarts mid-agent-work, the session transcript ends
on a tool result the agent never processed. Previously, the user had
to type 'continue' or use /retry (which replays from scratch, losing
all prior work).
Now, when the next user message arrives and the loaded history ends
with role='tool', a system note is prepended:
[System note: Your previous turn was interrupted before you could
process the last tool result(s). Please finish processing those
results and summarize what was accomplished, then address the
user's new message below.]
This is injected in _run_agent()'s run_sync closure, right before
calling agent.run_conversation(). The agent sees the full history
(including the pending tool results) and the system note, so it can
summarize what was accomplished and then handle the user's new input.
Design decisions:
- No new session flags or schema changes — purely detects trailing
tool messages in the loaded history
- Works for any restart scenario (clean, crash, SIGTERM, drain timeout)
as long as the session wasn't suspended (suspended = fresh start)
- The user's actual message is preserved after the note
- If the session WAS suspended (unclean shutdown), the old history is
abandoned and the user starts fresh — no false auto-continue
Also updates the shutdown notification message from 'Use /retry after
restart to continue' to 'Send any message after restart to resume
where it left off' — which is now accurate.
Test plan:
- 6 new auto-continue tests (trailing tool detection, no false
positives for assistant/user/empty history, multi-tool, message
preservation)
- All 13 restart drain tests pass (updated /retry assertion)
Refactor browser tool PATH construction to include Termux directories
(/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin, /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/sbin)
so agent-browser and npx are discoverable on Android/Termux.
Extracts _browser_candidate_path_dirs() and _merge_browser_path() helpers
to centralize PATH construction shared between _find_agent_browser() and
_run_browser_command(), replacing duplicated inline logic.
Also fixes os.pathsep usage (was hardcoded ':') for cross-platform correctness.
Cherry-picked from PR #9846.
Instead of consuming one top-level slash command slot per skill (hitting the
100-command limit with ~26 built-ins + 74 skills), skills are now organized
under a single /skill group command with category-based subcommand groups:
/skill creative ascii-art [args]
/skill media gif-search [args]
/skill mlops axolotl [args]
Discord supports 25 subcommand groups × 25 subcommands = 625 max skills,
well beyond the previous 74-slot ceiling.
Categories are derived from the skill directory structure:
- skills/creative/ascii-art/ → category 'creative'
- skills/mlops/training/axolotl/ → category 'mlops' (top-level parent)
- skills/dogfood/ → uncategorized (direct subcommand)
Changes:
- hermes_cli/commands.py: add discord_skill_commands_by_category() with
category grouping, hub/disabled filtering, Discord limit enforcement
- gateway/platforms/discord.py: replace top-level skill registration with
_register_skill_group() using app_commands.Group hierarchy
- tests: 7 new tests covering group creation, category grouping,
uncategorized skills, hub exclusion, deep nesting, empty skills,
and handler dispatch
Inspired by Discord community suggestion from bottium.
Add dangerous command patterns that require approval when the agent
tries to run gateway lifecycle commands via the terminal tool:
- hermes gateway stop/restart — kills all running agents mid-work
- hermes update — pulls code and restarts the gateway
- systemctl restart/stop (with optional flags like --user)
These patterns fire the approval prompt so the user must explicitly
approve before the agent can kill its own gateway process. In YOLO
mode, the commands run without approval (by design — YOLO means the
user accepts all risks).
Also fixes the existing systemctl pattern to handle flags between
the command and action (e.g. 'systemctl --user restart' was previously
undetected because the regex expected the action immediately after
'systemctl').
Root cause: issue #6666 reported agents running 'hermes gateway
restart' via terminal, killing the gateway process mid-agent-loop.
The user sees the agent suddenly stop responding with no explanation.
Combined with the SIGTERM auto-recovery from PR #9875, the gateway
now both prevents accidental self-destruction AND recovers if it
happens anyway.
Test plan:
- Updated test_systemctl_restart_not_flagged → test_systemctl_restart_flagged
- All 119 approval tests pass
- E2E verified: hermes gateway restart, hermes update, systemctl
--user restart all detected; hermes gateway status, systemctl
status remain safe
- TestHealthDetailedEndpoint: 3 tests for the new API server endpoint
(returns runtime data, handles missing status, no auth required)
- TestProbeGatewayHealth: 5 tests for _probe_gateway_health()
(URL normalization, successful/failed probes, fallback chain)
- TestStatusRemoteGateway: 4 tests for /api/status remote fallback
(remote probe triggers, skipped when local PID found, null PID handling)

Three fixes for gateway lifecycle stability:
1. Notify active sessions before shutdown (#new)
When the gateway receives SIGTERM or /restart, it now sends a
notification to every chat with an active agent BEFORE starting
the drain. Users see:
- Shutdown: 'Gateway shutting down — your task will be interrupted.'
- Restart: 'Gateway restarting — use /retry after restart to continue.'
Deduplicates per-chat so group sessions with multiple users get
one notification. Best-effort: send failures are logged and swallowed.
2. Skip .clean_shutdown marker when drain timed out
Previously, a graceful SIGTERM always wrote .clean_shutdown, even if
agents were force-interrupted when the drain timed out. This meant
the next startup skipped session suspension, leaving interrupted
sessions in a broken state (trailing tool response, no final message).
Now the marker is only written if the drain completed without timeout,
so interrupted sessions get properly suspended on next startup.
3. Post-restart health check for hermes update (#6631)
cmd_update() now verifies the gateway actually survived after
systemctl restart (sleep 3s + is-active check). If the service
crashed immediately, it retries once. If still dead, prints
actionable diagnostics (journalctl command, manual restart hint).
Also closes#8104 — already fixed on main (the /restart handler
correctly detects systemd via INVOCATION_ID and uses via_service=True).
Test plan:
- 6 new tests for shutdown notifications (dedup, restart vs shutdown
messaging, sentinel filtering, send failure resilience)
- Existing restart drain + update tests pass (47 total)
Seed qwen-oauth credentials from resolve_qwen_runtime_credentials() in
_seed_from_singletons(). Users who authenticate via 'qwen auth qwen-oauth'

Seed copilot credentials from resolve_copilot_token() in the credential
pool's _seed_from_singletons(), alongside the existing anthropic and

Cherry-picked from PR #9767 by Marvae.
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.

Addresses responsible disclosure from FuzzMind Security Lab (CVE pending).
The web dashboard API server had 36 endpoints, of which only 5 checked
the session token. The token itself was served from an unauthenticated
GET /api/auth/session-token endpoint, rendering the protection circular.
When bound to 0.0.0.0 (--host flag), all API keys, config, and cron
management were accessible to any machine on the network.
Changes:
- Add auth middleware requiring session token on ALL /api/ routes except
a small public whitelist (status, config/defaults, config/schema,
model/info)
- Remove GET /api/auth/session-token endpoint entirely; inject the token
into index.html via a <script> tag at serve time instead
- Replace all inline token comparisons (!=) with hmac.compare_digest()
to prevent timing side-channel attacks
- Block non-localhost binding by default; require --insecure flag to
override (with warning log)
- Update frontend fetchJSON() to send Authorization header on all
requests using the injected window.__HERMES_SESSION_TOKEN__

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.
The dynamic parser walker from the contributor's commit lost the profile
name tab-completion that existed in the old static generators. This adds
it back for all three shells:
- Bash: _hermes_profiles() helper, -p/--profile completion, profile
action→name completion (use/delete/show/alias/rename/export)
- Zsh: _hermes_profiles() function, -p/--profile argument spec, profile
action case with name completion
- Fish: __hermes_profiles function, -s p -l profile flag, profile action
completions
Also removes the dead fallback path in cmd_completion() that imported
the old static generators from profiles.py (parser is always available
via the lambda wiring) and adds 11 regression-prevention tests for
profile completion.
Replaces the hardcoded completion stubs in profiles.py with a dynamic
generator that walks the live argparse parser tree at runtime.
- New hermes_cli/completion.py: _walk() recursively extracts all
subcommands and flags; generate_bash/zsh/fish() produce complete
scripts with nested subcommand support
- cmd_completion now accepts the parser via closure so completions
always reflect the actual registered commands (including plugin-
registered ones like honcho)
- completion subcommand now accepts bash | zsh | fish (fish requested
in issue comments)
- Fix _SUBCOMMANDS set: add honcho, claw, plugins, acp, webhook,
memory, dump, debug, backup, import, completion, logs so that
multi-word session names after -c/-r are not broken by these commands
- Add tests/hermes_cli/test_completion.py: 17 tests covering parser
extraction, alias deduplication, bash/zsh/fish output content,
bash syntax validation, fish syntax validation, and subcommand
drift prevention
Tested on Linux (Arch). bash and fish completion verified live.
zsh script passes syntax check (zsh not installed on test machine).

Add ctx.register_skill() API so plugins can ship SKILL.md files under
a 'plugin:skill' namespace, preventing name collisions with built-in
Hermes skills. skill_view() detects the ':' separator and routes to
the plugin registry while bare names continue through the existing
flat-tree scan unchanged.
Key additions:
- agent/skill_utils: parse_qualified_name(), is_valid_namespace()
- hermes_cli/plugins: PluginContext.register_skill(), PluginManager
skill registry (find/list/remove)
- tools/skills_tool: qualified name dispatch in skill_view(),
_serve_plugin_skill() with full guards (disabled, platform,
injection scan), bundle context banner with sibling listing,
stale registry self-heal
- Hoisted _INJECTION_PATTERNS to module level (dedup)
- Updated skill_view schema description
Based on PR #9334 by N0nb0at. Lean P1 salvage — omits autogen shim
(P2) for a simpler first merge.
Closes#8422
- test_auth_commands: suppress _seed_from_singletons auto-seeding that
adds extra credentials from CI env (same pattern as nearby tests)
- test_interrupt: clear stale _interrupted_threads set to prevent
thread ident reuse from prior tests in same xdist worker
- test_code_execution: add watch_patterns to _BLOCKED_TERMINAL_PARAMS
to match production _TERMINAL_BLOCKED_PARAMS
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).

GPT-5.4 supports none/low/medium/high/xhigh but not 'minimal'.
Users may configure 'minimal' via OpenRouter conventions, which would

* feat(skills): add fitness-nutrition skill to optional-skills
Cherry-picked from PR #9177 by @haileymarshall.
Adds a fitness and nutrition skill for gym-goers and health-conscious users:
- Exercise search via wger API (690+ exercises, free, no auth)
- Nutrition lookup via USDA FoodData Central (380K+ foods, DEMO_KEY fallback)
- Offline body composition calculators (BMI, TDEE, 1RM, macros, body fat %)
- Pure stdlib Python, no pip dependencies
Changes from original PR:
- Moved from skills/ to optional-skills/health/ (correct location)
- Fixed BMR formula in FORMULAS.md (removed confusing -5+10, now just +5)
- Fixed author attribution to match PR submitter
- Marked USDA_API_KEY as optional (DEMO_KEY works without signup)
Also adds optional env var support to the skill readiness checker:
- New 'optional: true' field in required_environment_variables entries
- Optional vars are preserved in metadata but don't block skill readiness
- Optional vars skip the CLI capture prompt flow
- Skills with only optional missing vars show as 'available' not 'setup_needed'
* fix: auto-correct close model name matches in /model validation
When a user types a model name with a minor typo (e.g. gpt5.3-codex instead
of gpt-5.3-codex), the validation now auto-corrects to the closest match
instead of accepting the wrong name with a warning.
Uses difflib get_close_matches with cutoff=0.9 to avoid false corrections
(e.g. gpt-5.3 should not silently become gpt-5.4). Applied consistently
across all three validation paths: codex provider, custom endpoints, and
generic API-probed providers.
The validate_requested_model() return dict gains an optional corrected_model
key that switch_model() applies before building the result.
Reported by Discord user — /model gpt5.3-codex was accepted with a warning
but would fail at the API level.

During custom endpoint setup, users are now asked for a display name
with the auto-generated name as the default. Typing 'Ollama' or
'LM Studio' replaces the generic 'Local (localhost:11434)' in the
provider menu.
Extracts _auto_provider_name() for reuse and adds a name= parameter
to _save_custom_provider() so the caller can pass through the
user-chosen label.
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.
Plugins can now return {"action": "block", "message": "reason"} from
their pre_tool_call hook to prevent a tool from executing. The error
message is returned to the model as a tool result so it can adjust.
Covers both execution paths: handle_function_call (model_tools.py) and
agent-level tools (run_agent.py _invoke_tool + sequential/concurrent).
Blocked tools skip all side effects (counter resets, checkpoints,
callbacks, read-loop tracker).
Adds skip_pre_tool_call_hook flag to avoid double-firing the hook when
run_agent.py already checked and then calls handle_function_call.
Salvaged from PR #5385 (gianfrancopiana) and PR #4610 (oredsecurity).
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)

Port two improvements inspired by Kilo-Org/kilocode analysis:
1. Error classifier: add context overflow patterns for vLLM, Ollama,
and llama.cpp/llama-server. These local inference servers return
different error formats than cloud providers (e.g., 'exceeds the
max_model_len', 'context length exceeded', 'slot context'). Without
these patterns, context overflow errors from local servers are
misclassified as format errors, causing infinite retries instead
of triggering compression.
2. MCP initial connection retry: previously, if the very first
connection attempt to an MCP server failed (e.g., transient DNS
blip at startup), the server was permanently marked as failed with
no retry. Post-connect reconnection had 5 retries with exponential
backoff, but initial connection had zero. Now initial connections
retry up to 3 times with backoff before giving up, matching the
resilience of post-connect reconnection.
(Inspired by Kilo Code's MCP server disappearing fix in v1.3.3)
Tests: 6 new error classifier tests, 4 new MCP retry tests, 1
updated existing test. All 276 affected tests pass.
Adds Arcee AI as a standard direct provider (ARCEEAI_API_KEY) with
Trinity models: trinity-large-thinking, trinity-large-preview, trinity-mini.
Standard OpenAI-compatible provider checklist: auth.py, config.py,
models.py, main.py, providers.py, doctor.py, model_normalize.py,
model_metadata.py, setup.py, trajectory_compressor.py.
Based on PR #9274 by arthurbr11, simplified to a standard direct
provider without dual-endpoint OpenRouter routing.
The dashboard device-code flow (_nous_poller in web_server.py) saved
credentials to the credential pool only, while get_nous_auth_status()
only checked the auth store (auth.json). This caused the Keys tab to
show 'not connected' even when the backend was fully authenticated.
Two fixes:
1. get_nous_auth_status() now checks the credential pool first (like
get_codex_auth_status() already does), then falls back to the auth
store.
2. _nous_poller now also persists to the auth store after saving to
the credential pool, matching the CLI flow (_login_nous).
Adds 3 tests covering pool-only, auth-store-fallback, and empty-state
scenarios.
/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.
Previously, long-running streamed responses could be incorrectly treated
as idle by the gateway/cron inactivity timeout even while tokens were
actively arriving. The _touch_activity() call (which feeds
get_activity_summary() polled by the external timeout) was either called
only on the first chunk (chat completions) or not at all (Anthropic,
Codex, Codex fallback).
Add _touch_activity() on every chunk/event in all four streaming paths
so the inactivity monitor knows data is still flowing.
Fixes#8760
The v11→v12 migration converts custom_providers (list) into providers
(dict), then deletes the list. But all runtime resolvers read from
custom_providers — after migration, named custom endpoints silently stop
resolving and fallback chains fail with AuthError.
Add get_compatible_custom_providers() that reads from both config schemas
(legacy custom_providers list + v12+ providers dict), normalizes entries,
deduplicates, and returns a unified list. Update ALL consumers:
- hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py: _get_named_custom_provider() + key_env
- hermes_cli/auth_commands.py: credential pool provider names
- hermes_cli/main.py: model picker + _model_flow_named_custom()
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: key_env + custom_entry model fallback
- agent/credential_pool.py: _iter_custom_providers()
- cli.py + gateway/run.py: /model switch custom_providers passthrough
- run_agent.py + gateway/run.py: per-model context_length lookup
Also: use config.pop() instead of del for safer migration, fix stale
_config_version assertions in tests, add pool mock to codex test.

Closes#8776, salvaged from PR #8814
The existing ASCII codec handler only sanitized conversation messages,
leaving tool schemas, system prompts, ephemeral prompts, prefill messages,
and HTTP headers as unhandled sources of non-ASCII content. On systems
with LANG=C or non-UTF-8 locale, Unicode symbols in tool descriptions
(e.g. arrows, em-dashes from prompt_builder) and system prompt content
would cause UnicodeEncodeError that fell through to the error path.
Changes:
- Add _sanitize_structure_non_ascii() generic recursive walker for
nested dict/list payloads
- Add _sanitize_tools_non_ascii() thin wrapper for tool schemas
- Add _force_ascii_payload flag: once ASCII locale is detected, all
subsequent API calls get proactively sanitized (prevents recurring
failures from new tool results bringing fresh Unicode each turn)
- Extend the ASCII codec error handler to sanitize: prefill_messages,
tool schemas (self.tools), system prompt, ephemeral system prompt,
and default HTTP headers
- Update stale comment that acknowledged the gap
Cherry-picked from PR #8834 (credential pool changes dropped as
separate concern).
Two fixes for user-defined providers in config.yaml:
1. list_authenticated_providers() - now includes full models list from
providers.*.models array, not just default_model. This fixes /model
showing only one model when multiple are configured.
2. _get_named_custom_provider() - now checks providers: dict (new-style)
in addition to custom_providers: list (legacy). This fixes credential
resolution errors when switching models via /model command.
Both changes are backwards compatible with existing custom_providers list format.
Fixes: Only one model appears for custom providers in /model selection
On macOS, /etc is a symlink to /private/etc, so os.path.realpath()
resolves /etc/hosts to /private/etc/hosts. The sensitive path check
only matched /etc/ prefixes against the resolved path, allowing
writes to system files on macOS.
- Add /private/etc/ and /private/var/ to _SENSITIVE_PATH_PREFIXES
- Check both realpath-resolved and normpath-normalized paths
- Add regression tests for macOS symlink bypass

These functions were duplicated between auth.py and copilot_auth.py.
The auth.py copies had zero production callers — only copilot_auth.py's
versions are used. Redirect the test import to the live copy and update
monkeypatch targets accordingly.
resolve_vision_provider_client() computed resolved_api_mode from config
but never passed it to downstream resolve_provider_client() or
_get_cached_client() calls, causing custom providers with
api_mode: anthropic_messages to crash when used for vision tasks.

Remove the backward-compat code paths that read compression provider/model
settings from legacy config keys and env vars, which caused silent failures
when auto-detection resolved to incompatible backends.
What changed:
- Remove compression.summary_model, summary_provider, summary_base_url from
DEFAULT_CONFIG and cli.py defaults
- Remove backward-compat block in _resolve_task_provider_model() that read
from the legacy compression section
- Remove _get_auxiliary_provider() and _get_auxiliary_env_override() helper
functions (AUXILIARY_*/CONTEXT_* env var readers)
- Remove env var fallback chain for per-task overrides
- Update hermes config show to read from auxiliary.compression
- Add config migration (v16→17) that moves non-empty legacy values to
auxiliary.compression and strips the old keys
- Update example config and openclaw migration script
- Remove/update tests for deleted code paths
Compression model/provider is now configured exclusively via:
auxiliary.compression.provider / auxiliary.compression.model
Closes#8923
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.
Three targeted changes to close the gaps between retry layers that
caused users to experience 'No response from provider for 580s' and
'No activity for 15 minutes' despite having 5 layers of retry:
1. Remove non-streaming fallback from streaming path
Previously, when all 3 stream retries exhausted, the code fell back
to _interruptible_api_call() which had no stale detection and no
activity tracking — a black hole that could hang for up to 1800s.
Now errors propagate to the main retry loop which has richer recovery
(credential rotation, provider fallback, backoff).
For 'stream not supported' errors, sets _disable_streaming flag so
the main retry loop automatically switches to non-streaming on the
next attempt.
2. Add _touch_activity to recovery dead zones
The gateway inactivity monitor relies on _touch_activity() to know
the agent is alive, but activity was never touched during:
- Stale stream detection/kill cycles (180-300s gaps)
- Stream retry connection rebuilds
- Main retry backoff sleeps (up to 120s)
- Error recovery classification
Now all these paths touch activity every ~30s, keeping the gateway
informed during recovery cycles.
3. Add stale-call detector to non-streaming path
_interruptible_api_call() now has the same stale detection pattern
as the streaming path: kills hung connections after 300s (default,
configurable via HERMES_API_CALL_STALE_TIMEOUT), scaled for large
contexts (450s for 50K+ tokens, 600s for 100K+ tokens), disabled
for local providers.
Also touches activity every ~30s during the wait so the gateway
monitor stays informed.
Env vars:
- HERMES_API_CALL_STALE_TIMEOUT: non-streaming stale timeout (default 300s)
- HERMES_STREAM_STALE_TIMEOUT: unchanged (default 180s)
Before: worst case ~2+ hours of sequential retries with no feedback
After: worst case bounded by gateway inactivity timeout (default 1800s)
with continuous activity reporting
- 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).
Three changes consolidated into the existing backup system:
1. Fix: hermes backup now uses sqlite3.Connection.backup() for .db files
instead of raw file copy. Raw copy of a WAL-mode database can produce
a corrupted backup — the backup() API handles this correctly.
2. hermes backup --quick: fast snapshot of just critical state files
(config.yaml, state.db, .env, auth.json, cron/jobs.json, etc.)
stored in ~/.hermes/state-snapshots/. Auto-prunes to 20 snapshots.
3. /snapshot slash command (alias /snap): in-session interface for
quick state snapshots. create/list/restore/prune subcommands.
Restore by ID or number. Powered by the same backup module.
No new modules — everything lives in hermes_cli/backup.py alongside
the existing full backup/import code.
No hooks in run_agent.py — purely on-demand, zero runtime overhead.
Closes the use case from PRs #8406 and #7813 with ~200 lines of new
logic instead of a 1090-line content-addressed storage engine.
- Move test file to tests/hermes_cli/ (consistent with test layout)
- Remove unused imports (os, pytest) from test file
- Update _sanitize_env_lines docstring: now used on read + write paths
When .env files become corrupted (e.g. concatenated KEY=VALUE pairs on
a single line due to concurrent writes or encoding issues), both
python-dotenv and load_env() would parse the entire concatenated string
as a single value. This caused bot tokens to appear duplicated up to 8×,
triggering InvalidToken errors from the Telegram API.
Root cause: _sanitize_env_lines() — which correctly splits concatenated
lines — was only called during save_env_value() writes, not during reads.
Fix:
- load_env() now calls _sanitize_env_lines() before parsing
- env_loader.load_hermes_dotenv() sanitizes the .env file on disk
before python-dotenv reads it, so os.getenv() also returns clean values
- Added tests reproducing the exact corruption pattern from #8908Closes#8908
The startup warning that Nous Research Hermes 3 & 4 models are not agentic
fired on any model whose name contained "hermes" anywhere, via a plain
substring check. That false-positived on unrelated local Modelfiles such
as `hermes-brain:qwen3-14b-ctx16k` — a tool-capable Qwen3 wrapper that
happens to live under a custom "hermes" tag namespace — making the warning
noise for legitimate setups.
Replace the substring check with a narrow regex anchored on `^`, `/`, or
`:` boundaries that only matches the real Hermes-3 / Hermes-4 chat family
(e.g. `NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-70B`, `hermes-4-405b`,
`openrouter/hermes3:70b`). Consolidate into a single helper
`is_nous_hermes_non_agentic()` in `hermes_cli.model_switch` so the CLI
and the canonical check don't drift, and route the duplicate inline site
in `cli.HermesCLI._print_warnings()` through the helper.
Add a parametrized test covering positive matches (real Hermes-3/-4
names) and a broad set of negatives (custom Modelfiles, Qwen/Claude/GPT,
older Nous-Hermes-2 families, bare "hermes", empty string, and the
"brain-hermes-3-impostor" boundary case).
_query_local_context_length was checking model_info.context_length
(the GGUF training max) before num_ctx (the Modelfile runtime override),
inverse to query_ollama_num_ctx. The two helpers therefore disagreed on
the same model:
hermes-brain:qwen3-14b-ctx32k # Modelfile: num_ctx 32768
underlying qwen3:14b GGUF # qwen3.context_length: 40960
query_ollama_num_ctx correctly returned 32768 (the value Ollama will
actually allocate KV cache for). _query_local_context_length returned
40960, which let ContextCompressor grow conversations past 32768 before
triggering compression — at which point Ollama silently truncated the
prefix, corrupting context.
Swap the order so num_ctx is checked first, matching query_ollama_num_ctx.
Adds a parametrized test that seeds both values and asserts num_ctx wins.

When streaming fails after partial content delivery (e.g. OpenRouter
timeout kills connection mid-response), the stub response now carries
the accumulated streamed text instead of content=None.
Two fixes:
1. The partial-stream stub response includes recovered content from
_current_streamed_assistant_text — the text that was already
delivered to the user via stream callbacks before the connection
died.
2. The empty response recovery chain now checks for partial stream
content BEFORE falling back to _last_content_with_tools (prior
turn content) or wasting API calls on retries. This prevents:
- Showing wrong content from a prior turn
- Burning 3+ unnecessary retry API calls
- Falling through to '(empty)' when the user already saw content
The root cause: OpenRouter has a ~125s inactivity timeout. When
Anthropic's SSE stream goes silent during extended reasoning, the
proxy kills the connection. The model's text was already partially
streamed but the stub discarded it, triggering the empty recovery
chain which would show stale prior-turn content or waste retries.
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).
* feat: web UI dashboard for managing Hermes Agent (salvage of #8204/#7621)
Adds an embedded web UI dashboard accessible via `hermes web`:
- Status page: agent version, active sessions, gateway status, connected platforms
- Config editor: schema-driven form with tabbed categories, import/export, reset
- API Keys page: set, clear, and view redacted values with category grouping
- Sessions, Skills, Cron, Logs, and Analytics pages
Backend:
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: FastAPI server with REST endpoints
- hermes_cli/config.py: reload_env() utility for hot-reloading .env
- hermes_cli/main.py: `hermes web` subcommand (--port, --host, --no-open)
- cli.py / commands.py: /reload slash command for .env hot-reload
- pyproject.toml: [web] optional dependency extra (fastapi + uvicorn)
- Both update paths (git + zip) auto-build web frontend when npm available
Frontend:
- Vite + React + TypeScript + Tailwind v4 SPA in web/
- shadcn/ui-style components, Nous design language
- Auto-refresh status page, toast notifications, masked password inputs
Security:
- Path traversal guard (resolve().is_relative_to()) on SPA file serving
- CORS localhost-only via allow_origin_regex
- Generic error messages (no internal leak), SessionDB handles closed properly
Tests: 47 tests covering reload_env, redact_key, API endpoints, schema
generation, path traversal, category merging, internal key stripping,
and full config round-trip.
Original work by @austinpickett (PR #1813), salvaged by @kshitijk4poor
(PR #7621 → #8204), re-salvaged onto current main with stale-branch
regressions removed.
* fix(web): clean up status page cards, always rebuild on `hermes web`
- Remove config version migration alert banner from status page
- Remove config version card (internal noise, not surfaced in TUI)
- Reorder status cards: Agent → Gateway → Active Sessions (3-col grid)
- `hermes web` now always rebuilds from source before serving,
preventing stale web_dist when editing frontend files
* feat(web): full-text search across session messages
- Add GET /api/sessions/search endpoint backed by FTS5
- Auto-append prefix wildcards so partial words match (e.g. 'nimb' → 'nimby')
- Debounced search (300ms) with spinner in the search icon slot
- Search results show FTS5 snippets with highlighted match delimiters
- Expanding a search hit auto-scrolls to the first matching message
- Matching messages get a warning ring + 'match' badge
- Inline term highlighting within Markdown (text, bold, italic, headings, lists)
- Clear button (x) on search input for quick reset

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.
OpenCode Zen was in _DOT_TO_HYPHEN_PROVIDERS, causing all dotted model
names (minimax-m2.5-free, gpt-5.4, glm-5.1) to be mangled. The fix:
Layer 1 (model_normalize.py): Remove opencode-zen from the blanket
dot-to-hyphen set. Add an explicit block that preserves dots for
non-Claude models while keeping Claude hyphenated (Zen's Claude
endpoint uses anthropic_messages mode which expects hyphens).
Layer 2 (run_agent.py _anthropic_preserve_dots): Add opencode-zen and
zai to the provider allowlist. Broaden URL check from opencode.ai/zen/go
to opencode.ai/zen/ to cover both Go and Zen endpoints. Add bigmodel.cn
for ZAI URL detection.
Also adds glm-5.1 to ZAI model lists in models.py and setup.py.

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
When resuming a session with --resume or -c, the last assistant response
was truncated to 200 chars / 3 lines just like older messages in the recap.
This forced users to waste tokens re-asking for the response.
Now the last assistant message in the recap is shown in full with non-dim
styling, so users can see exactly where they left off. Earlier messages
remain truncated for compact display.
Changes:
- Track un-truncated text for the last assistant entry during collection
- Replace last entry with full text after history trimming
- Render last assistant entry with bold (non-dim) styling
- Update existing truncation tests to use multi-message histories
- Add new tests for full last response display (char + multiline)
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.

* feat: add `hermes debug share` — upload debug report to pastebin
Adds a new `hermes debug share` command that collects system info
(via hermes dump), recent logs (agent.log, errors.log, gateway.log),
and uploads the combined report to a paste service (paste.rs primary,
dpaste.com fallback). Returns a shareable URL for support.
Options:
--lines N Number of log lines per file (default: 200)
--expire N Paste expiry in days (default: 7, dpaste.com only)
--local Print report locally without uploading
Files:
hermes_cli/debug.py - New module: paste upload + report collection
hermes_cli/main.py - Wire cmd_debug + argparse subparser
tests/hermes_cli/test_debug.py - 19 tests covering upload, collection, CLI
* feat: upload full agent.log and gateway.log as separate pastes
hermes debug share now uploads up to 3 pastes:
1. Summary report (system info + log tails) — always
2. Full agent.log (last ~500KB) — if file exists
3. Full gateway.log (last ~500KB) — if file exists
Each paste uploads independently; log upload failures are noted
but don't block the main report. Output shows all links aligned:
Report https://paste.rs/abc
agent.log https://paste.rs/def
gateway.log https://paste.rs/ghi
Also adds _read_full_log() with size-capped tail reading to stay
within paste service limits (~512KB per file).
* feat: prepend hermes dump to each log paste for self-contained context
Each paste (agent.log, gateway.log) now starts with the hermes dump
output so clicking any single link gives full system context without
needing to cross-reference the summary report.
Refactored dump capture into _capture_dump() — called once and
reused across the summary report and each log paste.
* fix: fall back to .1 rotated log when primary log is missing or empty
When gateway.log (or agent.log) doesn't exist or is empty, the debug
share now checks for the .1 rotation file. This is common — the
gateway rotates logs and the primary file may not exist yet.
Extracted _resolve_log_path() to centralize the fallback logic for
both _read_log_tail() and _read_full_log().
* chore: remove unused display_hermes_home import
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.

- Test that auxiliary.compression.context_length from config is forwarded
to get_model_context_length (positive case)
- Test that invalid/non-integer config values are silently ignored
- Fix _make_agent() to set config=None (cherry-picked code reads self.config)
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

Combines detection from both PRs into _detect_openclaw_processes():
- Cross-platform process scan (pgrep/tasklist/PowerShell) from PR #8102
- systemd service check from PR #8555
- Returns list[str] with details about what's found
Fixes in cleanup warning (from PR #8555):
- print_warning -> print_error/print_info (print_warning not in import chain)
- Added isatty() guard for non-interactive sessions
- Removed duplicate _check_openclaw_running() in favor of shared function
Updated all tests to match new API.
- Use PowerShell to inspect node.exe command lines on Windows,
since tasklist output does not include them.
- Also check for dedicated openclaw.exe/clawd.exe processes.
- Skip the interactive prompt in non-interactive sessions so the
preview-only behavior is preserved.
- Update tests accordingly.
Relates to #7907
Add _is_openclaw_running() and _warn_if_openclaw_running() to detect
OpenClaw processes (via pgrep/tasklist) before hermes claw migrate.
Warns the user that messaging platforms only allow one active session
per bot token, and lets them cancel or continue.
Fixes#7907
Centralize container detection in hermes_constants.is_container() with
process-lifetime caching, matching existing is_wsl()/is_termux() patterns.
Dedup _is_inside_container() in config.py to delegate to the new function.
Add _run_systemctl() wrapper that converts FileNotFoundError to RuntimeError
for defense-in-depth — all 10 bare subprocess.run(_systemctl_cmd(...)) call
sites now route through it.
Make supports_systemd_services() return False in containers and when
systemctl binary is absent (shutil.which check).
Add Docker-specific guidance in gateway_command() for install/uninstall/start
subcommands — exit 0 with helpful instructions instead of crashing.
Make 'hermes status' show 'Manager: docker (foreground)' and 'hermes dump'
show 'running (docker, pid N)' inside containers.
Fix setup_gateway() to use supports_systemd instead of _is_linux for all
systemd-related branches, and show Docker restart policy instructions in
containers.
Replace inline /.dockerenv check in voice_mode.py with is_container().
Fixes#7420

The backup validation checked for 'hermes_state.db' and 'memory_store.db'
as telltale markers of a valid Hermes backup zip. Neither name exists in a
real Hermes installation — the actual database file is 'state.db'
(hermes_state.py: DEFAULT_DB_PATH = get_hermes_home() / 'state.db').
A fresh Hermes installation produces:
~/.hermes/state.db (actual name)
~/.hermes/config.yaml
~/.hermes/.env
Because the marker set never matched 'state.db', a backup zip containing
only 'state.db' plus 'config.yaml' would fail validation with:
'zip does not appear to be a Hermes backup'
and the import would exit with sys.exit(1), silently rejecting a valid backup.
Fix: replace the wrong marker names with the correct filename.
Adds TestValidateBackupZip with three cases:
- state.db is accepted as a valid marker
- old wrong names (hermes_state.db, memory_store.db) alone are rejected
- config.yaml continues to pass (existing behaviour preserved)
Three fixes for the (empty) response bug affecting open reasoning models:
1. Allow retries after prefill exhaustion — models like mimo-v2-pro always
populate reasoning fields via OpenRouter, so the old 'not _has_structured'
guard on the retry path blocked retries for EVERY reasoning model after
the 2 prefill attempts. Now: 2 prefills + 3 retries = 6 total attempts
before (empty).
2. Reset prefill/retry counters on tool-call recovery — the counters
accumulated across the entire conversation, never resetting during
tool-calling turns. A model cycling empty→prefill→tools→empty burned
both prefill attempts and the third empty got zero recovery. Now
counters reset when prefill succeeds with tool calls.
3. Strip think blocks before _truly_empty check — inline <think> content
made the string non-empty, skipping both retry paths.
Reported by users on Telegram with xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro and qwen3.5 models.
Reproduced: qwen3.5-9b emits tool calls as XML in reasoning field instead
of proper function calls, causing content=None + tool_calls=None + reasoning
with embedded <tool_call> XML. Prefill recovery works but counter
accumulation caused permanent (empty) in long sessions.
- 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
auxiliary_client.py had its own regex mirroring _strip_think_blocks
but was missing the <thought> variant. Also adds test coverage for
<thought> paired and orphaned tags.
Fresh profiles (created without --clone) now:
- Auto-seed a default SOUL.md immediately, so users have a file to
customize right away instead of discovering it only after first use
- Print a clear warning that the profile has no API keys and will
inherit from the shell environment unless configured separately
- Show the SOUL.md path for personality customization
Previously, fresh profiles started with no SOUL.md (only seeded on
first use via ensure_hermes_home), no mention of credential isolation,
and no guidance about customizing personality. Users reported confusion
about profiles using the wrong model/plan tokens and SOUL.md not
being read — both traced to operational gaps in the creation UX.
Closes#8093 (investigated: code correctly loads SOUL.md from profile
HERMES_HOME; issue was operational, not a code bug).
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 a user configures a provider (e.g. `hermes auth add openai-codex`)
but never selects a model via `hermes model`, the gateway and CLI would
pass an empty model string to the API, causing:
'Codex Responses request model must be a non-empty string'
Now both gateway (_resolve_session_agent_runtime) and CLI
(_ensure_runtime_credentials) detect an empty model and fill it from
the provider's first catalog entry in _PROVIDER_MODELS. This covers
all providers that have a static model list (openai-codex, anthropic,
gemini, copilot, etc.).
The fix is conservative: it only triggers when model is truly empty
and a known provider was resolved. Explicit model choices are never
overridden.
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.
When /update runs via Telegram, hermes update --gateway is spawned inside
the gateway's systemd cgroup. The update process itself calls
systemctl restart hermes-gateway, which tears down the cgroup with
KillMode=mixed — SIGKILL to all remaining processes. The wrapping bash
shell is killed before it can execute the exit-code epilogue, so
.update_exit_code is never created. The new gateway's update watcher
then polls for 30 minutes and sends a spurious timeout message.
Fix: write .update_exit_code from Python inside cmd_update() immediately
after the git pull + pip install succeed ("Update complete!"), before
attempting the gateway restart. The shell epilogue still writes it too
(idempotent overwrite), but now the marker exists even when the process
is killed mid-restart.
When running inside WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), inject a hint into
the system prompt explaining that the Windows host filesystem is mounted
at /mnt/c/, /mnt/d/, etc. This lets the agent naturally translate Windows
paths (Desktop, Documents) to their /mnt/ equivalents without the user
needing to configure anything.
Uses the existing is_wsl() detection from hermes_constants (cached,
checks /proc/version for 'microsoft'). Adds build_environment_hints()
in prompt_builder.py — extensible for Termux, Docker, etc. later.
Closes the UX gap where WSL users had to manually explain path
translation to the agent every session.
OpenAI OAuth refresh tokens are single-use and rotate on every refresh.
When Hermes refreshes a Codex token, it consumed the old refresh_token
but never wrote the new pair back to ~/.codex/auth.json. This caused
Codex CLI and VS Code to fail with 'refresh_token_reused' on their
next refresh attempt.
This mirrors the existing Anthropic write-back pattern where refreshed
tokens are written to ~/.claude/.credentials.json via
_write_claude_code_credentials().
Changes:
- Add _write_codex_cli_tokens() in hermes_cli/auth.py (parallel to
_write_claude_code_credentials in anthropic_adapter.py)
- Call it from _refresh_codex_auth_tokens() (non-pool refresh path)
- Call it from credential_pool._refresh_entry() (pool happy path + retry)
- Add tests for the new write-back behavior
- Update existing test docstring to clarify _save_codex_tokens vs
_write_codex_cli_tokens separation
Fixes refresh token conflict reported by @ec12edfae2cb221
Reject non-URL values (e.g. shell commands typed by mistake) in the
base URL prompt during provider setup. Previously any string was saved
as-is to .env, breaking connectivity when the garbage value was used
as the API endpoint.
Adds http:// / https:// prefix check with a clear error message.
The custom-endpoint flow already had this validation (line 1620);
this brings the generic API-key provider flow to parity.
Triggered by a user support case where 'nano ~/.hermes/.env' was
accidentally entered as GLM_BASE_URL during Z.AI setup.
- Add openai/openai-codex -> openai mapping to PROVIDER_TO_MODELS_DEV
so context-length lookups use models.dev data instead of 128k fallback.
Fixes#8161.
- Set api_mode from custom_providers entry when switching via hermes model,
and clear stale api_mode when the entry has none. Also extract api_mode
in _named_custom_provider_map(). Fixes#8181.
- Convert OpenAI image_url content blocks to Anthropic image blocks when
the endpoint is Anthropic-compatible (MiniMax, MiniMax-CN, or any URL
containing /anthropic). Fixes#8147.
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.
Add a 'tip of the day' feature that displays a random one-liner about
Hermes Agent features on every new session — CLI startup, /clear, /new,
and gateway /new across all messaging platforms.
- New hermes_cli/tips.py module with 210 curated tips covering slash
commands, keybindings, CLI flags, config options, tools, gateway
platforms, profiles, sessions, memory, skills, cron, voice, security,
and more
- CLI: tips display in skin-aware dim gold color after the welcome line
- Gateway: tips append to the /new and /reset response on all platforms
- Fully wrapped in try/except — tips are non-critical and never break
startup or reset
Display format (CLI):
✦ Tip: /btw <question> asks a quick side question without tools or history.
Display format (gateway):
✨ Session reset! Starting fresh.
✦ Tip: hermes -c resumes your most recent CLI session.
Remove auto-archival from hermes claw migrate — not its
responsibility (hermes claw cleanup is still there for that).
Skip MESSAGING_CWD when it points inside the OpenClaw source
directory, which was the actual root cause of agent confusion
after migration. Use Path.is_relative_to() for robust path
containment check.

Users whose credentials exist only in external files — OpenAI Codex
OAuth tokens in ~/.codex/auth.json or Anthropic Claude Code credentials
in ~/.claude/.credentials.json — would not see those providers in the
/model picker, even though hermes auth and hermes model detected them.
Root cause: list_authenticated_providers() only checked the raw Hermes
auth store and env vars. External credential file fallbacks (Codex CLI
import, Claude Code file discovery) were never triggered.
Fix (three parts):
1. _seed_from_singletons() in credential_pool.py: openai-codex now
imports from ~/.codex/auth.json when the Hermes auth store is empty,
mirroring resolve_codex_runtime_credentials().
2. list_authenticated_providers() in model_switch.py: auth store + pool
checks now run for ALL providers (not just OAuth auth_type), catching
providers like anthropic that support both API key and OAuth.
3. list_authenticated_providers(): direct check for anthropic external
credential files (Claude Code, Hermes PKCE). The credential pool
intentionally gates anthropic behind is_provider_explicitly_configured()
to prevent auxiliary tasks from silently consuming tokens. The /model
picker bypasses this gate since it is discovery-oriented.
The TUI transition (4970705, f83e86d) replaced stacked per-tool history
lines with a single live-updating spinner widget. While the spinner
provides a nice live timer, it removed the scrollback history that
users relied on to see what the agent did during a session.
This restores stacked tool progress lines in 'all' and 'new' modes by
printing persistent scrollback lines via _cprint() when tools complete,
in addition to the existing live spinner display.
Behavior per mode:
- off: no scrollback lines, no spinner (unchanged)
- new: scrollback line on completion, skipping consecutive same-tool repeats
- all: scrollback line on every tool completion
- verbose: no scrollback (run_agent.py handles verbose output directly)
Implementation:
- Store function_args from tool.started events in _pending_tool_info
- On tool.completed, pop stored args and format via get_cute_tool_message()
- FIFO queue per function_name handles concurrent tool execution
- 'new' mode tracks _last_scrollback_tool for dedup
- State cleared at end of agent run
Reported by community user Mr.D — the stacked history provides
transparency into what the agent is doing, which builds trust.
Addresses user report from Discord about lost tool call visibility.
On servers with broken or unreachable IPv6, Python's socket.getaddrinfo
returns AAAA records first. urllib/httpx/requests all try IPv6 connections
first and hang for the full TCP timeout before falling back to IPv4. This
affects web_extract, web_search, the OpenAI SDK, and all HTTP tools.
Adds network.force_ipv4 config option (default: false) that monkey-patches
socket.getaddrinfo to resolve as AF_INET when the caller didn't specify a
family. Falls back to full resolution if no A record exists, so pure-IPv6
hosts still work.
Applied early at all three entry points (CLI, gateway, cron scheduler)
before any HTTP clients are created.
Reported by user @29n — Chinese Ubuntu server with unreachable IPv6 causing
timeouts on lobste.rs and other IPv6-enabled sites while Google/GitHub
worked fine (IPv4-only resolution).
The gateway startup path references RedactingFormatter without
importing it, causing a NameError crash when launched with a
verbosity flag (e.g. via launchd --replace).
Fixes#8044

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.
* feat: add `hermes backup` and `hermes import` commands
hermes backup — creates a zip of ~/.hermes/ (config, skills, sessions,
profiles, memories, skins, cron jobs, etc.) excluding the hermes-agent
codebase, __pycache__, and runtime PID files. Defaults to
~/hermes-backup-<timestamp>.zip, customizable with -o.
hermes import <zipfile> — restores from a backup zip, validating it
looks like a hermes backup before extracting. Handles .hermes/ prefix
stripping, path traversal protection, and confirmation prompts (skip
with --force).
29 tests covering exclusion rules, backup creation, import validation,
prefix detection, path traversal blocking, confirmation flow, and a
full round-trip test.
* test: improve backup/import coverage to 97%
Add 17 additional tests covering:
- _format_size helper (bytes through terabytes)
- Nonexistent hermes home error exit
- Output path is a directory (auto-names inside it)
- Output without .zip suffix (auto-appends)
- Empty hermes home (all files excluded)
- Permission errors during backup and import
- Output zip inside hermes root (skips itself)
- Not-a-zip file rejection
- EOFError and KeyboardInterrupt during confirmation
- 500+ file progress display
- Directory-only zip prefix detection
Remove dead code branch in _detect_prefix (unreachable guard).
* feat: auto-restore profile wrapper scripts on import
After extracting backup files, hermes import now scans profiles/ for
subdirectories with config.yaml or .env and recreates the ~/.local/bin
wrapper scripts so profile aliases (e.g. 'coder chat') work immediately.
Also prints guidance for re-installing gateway services per profile.
Handles edge cases:
- Skips profile dirs without config (not real profiles)
- Skips aliases that collide with existing commands
- Gracefully degrades if hermes_cli.profiles isn't available (fresh install)
- Shows PATH hint if ~/.local/bin isn't in PATH
3 new profile restoration tests (49 total).
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.
* perf(ssh,modal): bulk file sync via tar pipe and tar/base64 archive
SSH: symlink-staging + tar -ch piped over SSH in a single TCP stream.
Eliminates per-file scp round-trips. Handles timeout (kills both
processes), SSH Popen failure (kills tar), and tar create failure.
Modal: in-memory gzipped tar archive, base64-encoded, decoded+extracted
in one exec call. Checks exit code and raises on failure.
Both backends use shared helpers extracted into file_sync.py:
- quoted_mkdir_command() — mirrors existing quoted_rm_command()
- unique_parent_dirs() — deduplicates parent dirs from file pairs
Migrates _ensure_remote_dirs to use the new helpers.
28 new tests (21 SSH + 7 Modal), all passing.
Closes#7465Closes#7467
* fix(modal): pipe stdin to avoid ARG_MAX, clean up review findings
- Modal bulk upload: stream base64 payload through proc.stdin in 1MB
chunks instead of embedding in command string (Modal SDK enforces
64KB ARG_MAX_BYTES — typical payloads are ~4.3MB)
- Modal single-file upload: same stdin fix, add exit code checking
- Remove what-narrating comments in ssh.py and modal.py (keep WHY
comments: symlink staging rationale, SIGPIPE, deadlock avoidance)
- Remove unnecessary `sandbox = self._sandbox` alias in modal bulk
- Daytona: use shared helpers (unique_parent_dirs, quoted_mkdir_command)
instead of inlined duplicates

* feat: component-separated logging with session context and filtering
Phase 1 — Gateway log isolation:
- gateway.log now only receives records from gateway.* loggers
(platform adapters, session management, slash commands, delivery)
- agent.log remains the catch-all (all components)
- errors.log remains WARNING+ catch-all
- Moved gateway.log handler creation from gateway/run.py into
hermes_logging.setup_logging(mode='gateway') with _ComponentFilter
Phase 2 — Session ID injection:
- Added set_session_context(session_id) / clear_session_context() API
using threading.local() for per-thread session tracking
- _SessionFilter enriches every log record with session_tag attribute
- Log format: '2026-04-11 10:23:45 INFO [session_id] logger.name: msg'
- Session context set at start of run_conversation() in run_agent.py
- Thread-isolated: gateway conversations on different threads don't leak
Phase 3 — Component filtering in hermes logs:
- Added --component flag: hermes logs --component gateway|agent|tools|cli|cron
- COMPONENT_PREFIXES maps component names to logger name prefixes
- Works with all existing filters (--level, --session, --since, -f)
- Logger name extraction handles both old and new log formats
Files changed:
- hermes_logging.py: _SessionFilter, _ComponentFilter, COMPONENT_PREFIXES,
set/clear_session_context(), gateway.log creation in setup_logging()
- gateway/run.py: removed redundant gateway.log handler (now in hermes_logging)
- run_agent.py: set_session_context() at start of run_conversation()
- hermes_cli/logs.py: --component filter, logger name extraction
- hermes_cli/main.py: --component argument on logs subparser
Addresses community request for component-separated, filterable logging.
Zero changes to existing logger names — __name__ already provides hierarchy.
* fix: use LogRecord factory instead of per-handler _SessionFilter
The _SessionFilter approach required attaching a filter to every handler
we create. Any handler created outside our _add_rotating_handler (like
the gateway stderr handler, or third-party handlers) would crash with
KeyError: 'session_tag' if it used our format string.
Replace with logging.setLogRecordFactory() which injects session_tag
into every LogRecord at creation time — process-global, zero per-handler
wiring needed. The factory is installed at import time (before
setup_logging) so session_tag is available from the moment hermes_logging
is imported.
- Idempotent: marker attribute prevents double-wrapping on module reload
- Chains with existing factory: won't break third-party record factories
- Removes _SessionFilter from _add_rotating_handler and setup_verbose_logging
- Adds tests: record factory injection, idempotency, arbitrary handler compat
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.
The check_interval parameter on terminal_tool sent periodic output
updates to the gateway chat, but these were display-only — the agent
couldn't see or act on them. This added schema bloat and introduced
a bug where notify_on_complete=True was silently dropped when
check_interval was also set (the not-check_interval guard skipped
fast-watcher registration, and the check_interval watcher dict
was missing the notify_on_complete key).
Removing check_interval entirely:
- Eliminates the notify_on_complete interaction bug
- Reduces tool schema size (one fewer parameter for the model)
- Simplifies the watcher registration path
- notify_on_complete (agent wake-on-completion) still works
- watch_patterns (output alerting) still works
- process(action='poll') covers manual status checking
Closes#7947 (root cause eliminated rather than patched).
When /model is called with no arguments in the interactive CLI, open a
two-step prompt_toolkit modal instead of the previous text-only listing:
1. Provider selection — curses_single_select with all authenticated providers
2. Model selection — live API fetch with curated fallback
Also fixes:
- OpenAI Codex model normalization (openai/gpt-5.4 → gpt-5.4)
- Dedicated Codex validation path using provider_model_ids()
Preserves curses_radiolist (used by setup, tools, plugins) alongside the
new curses_single_select. Retains tool elapsed timer in spinner.
Cherry-picked from PR #7438 by MestreY0d4-Uninter.
The _get_budget_warning() method already returned None unconditionally —
the entire budget warning system was disabled. Remove all dead code:
- _BUDGET_WARNING_RE regex
- _strip_budget_warnings_from_history() function and its call site
- Both injection blocks (concurrent + sequential tool execution)
- _get_budget_warning() method
- 7 tests for the removed functions
The budget exhaustion grace call system (_budget_exhausted_injected,
_budget_grace_call) is a separate recovery mechanism and is preserved.
* feat(nix): container-aware CLI — auto-route all subcommands into managed container
When container.enable = true, the host `hermes` CLI transparently execs
every subcommand into the managed Docker/Podman container. A symlink
bridge (~/.hermes -> /var/lib/hermes/.hermes) unifies state between host
and container so sessions, config, and memories are shared.
CLI changes:
- Global routing before subcommand dispatch (all commands forwarded)
- docker exec with -u exec_user, env passthrough (TERM, COLORTERM,
LANG, LC_ALL), TTY-aware flags
- Retry with spinner on failure (TTY: 5s, non-TTY: 10s silent)
- Hard fail instead of silent fallback
- HERMES_DEV=1 env var bypasses routing for development
- No routing messages (invisible to user)
NixOS module changes:
- container.hostUsers option: lists users who get ~/.hermes symlink
and automatic hermes group membership
- Activation script creates symlink bridge (with backup of existing
~/.hermes dirs), writes exec_user to .container-mode
- Cleanup on disable: removes symlinks + .container-mode + stops service
- Warning when hostUsers set without addToSystemPackages
* fix: address review — reuse sudo var, add chown -h on symlink update
- hermes_cli/main.py: reuse the existing `sudo` variable instead of
redundant `shutil.which("sudo")` call that could return None
- nix/nixosModules.nix: add missing `chown -h` when updating an
existing symlink target so ownership stays consistent with the
fresh-create and backup-replace branches
* fix: address remaining review items from cursor bugbot
- hermes_cli/main.py: move container routing BEFORE parse_args() so
--help, unrecognised flags, and all subcommands are forwarded
transparently into the container instead of being intercepted by
argparse on the host (high severity)
- nix/nixosModules.nix: resolve home dirs via
config.users.users.${user}.home instead of hardcoding /home/${user},
supporting users with custom home directories (medium severity)
- nix/nixosModules.nix: gate hostUsers group membership on
container.enable so setting hostUsers without container mode doesn't
silently add users to the hermes group (low severity)
* fix: simplify container routing — execvp, no retries, let it crash
- Replace subprocess.run retry loop with os.execvp (no idle parent process)
- Extract _probe_container helper for sudo detection with 15s timeout
- Narrow exception handling: FileNotFoundError only in get_container_exec_info,
catch TimeoutExpired specifically, remove silent except Exception: pass
- Collapse needs_sudo + sudo into single sudo_path variable
- Simplify NixOS symlink creation from 4 branches to 2
- Gate NixOS sudoers hint with "On NixOS:" prefix
- Full test rewrite: 18 tests covering execvp, sudo probe, timeout, permissions

Switch estimate_tokens_rough(), estimate_messages_tokens_rough(), and
estimate_request_tokens_rough() from floor division (len // 4) to
ceiling division ((len + 3) // 4). Short texts (1-3 chars) previously
estimated as 0 tokens, causing the compressor and pre-flight checks to
systematically undercount when many short tool results are present.
Also replaced the inline duplicate formula in run_conversation()
(total_chars // 4) with a call to the shared
estimate_messages_tokens_rough() function.
Updated 4 tests that hardcoded floor-division expected values.
Related: issue #6217, PR #6629
Deduplicate todo items by ID before writing to the store, keeping the
last occurrence. Prevents ghost entries when the model sends duplicate

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
Three root causes of the 'agent stops mid-task' gateway bug:
1. Compression threshold floor (64K tokens minimum)
- The 50% threshold on a 100K-context model fired at 50K tokens,
causing premature compression that made models lose track of
multi-step plans. Now threshold_tokens = max(50% * context, 64K).
- Models with <64K context are rejected at startup with a clear error.
2. Budget warning removal — grace call instead
- Removed the 70%/90% iteration budget warnings entirely. These
injected '[BUDGET WARNING: Provide your final response NOW]' into
tool results, causing models to abandon complex tasks prematurely.
- Now: no warnings during normal execution. When the budget is
actually exhausted (90/90), inject a user message asking the model
to summarise, allow one grace API call, and only then fall back
to _handle_max_iterations.
3. Activity touches during long terminal execution
- _wait_for_process polls every 0.2s but never reported activity.
The gateway's inactivity timeout (default 1800s) would fire during
long-running commands that appeared 'idle.'
- Now: thread-local activity callback fires every 10s during the
poll loop, keeping the gateway's activity tracker alive.
- Agent wires _touch_activity into the callback before each tool call.
Also: docs update noting 64K minimum context requirement.
Closes#7915 (root cause was agent-loop termination, not Weixin delivery limits).
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 --env KEY=VALUE for passing environment variables to stdio MCP servers
- Add --preset for known MCP server templates (empty for now, extensible)
- Validate env var names, reject --env for HTTP servers
- Explicit --command/--url overrides preset defaults
- Remove unused getpass import
Based on PR #7936 by @syaor4n (stitch preset removed, generic infra kept).
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.
Adds _normalize_path() helper that calls expanduser().resolve() to
properly handle tilde paths (e.g. ~/.hermes, ~/.config). Previously
Path.resolve() alone treated ~ as a literal directory name, producing
invalid paths like /root/~/.hermes.
Also improves _run_git() error handling to distinguish missing working
directories from missing git executable, and adds pre-flight directory
validation.

Fixes#7807
* fix(tools): neutralize shell injection in _write_to_sandbox via path quoting
_write_to_sandbox interpolated storage_dir and remote_path directly into
a shell command passed to env.execute(). Paths containing shell
metacharacters (spaces, semicolons, $(), backticks) could trigger
arbitrary command execution inside the sandbox.
Fix: wrap both paths with shlex.quote(). Clean paths (alphanumeric +
slashes/hyphens/dots) are left unmodified by shlex.quote, so existing
behavior is unchanged. Paths with unsafe characters get single-quoted.
Tests added for spaces, $(command) substitution, and semicolon injection.
* fix: is_local_endpoint misses Docker/Podman DNS names
host.docker.internal, host.containers.internal, gateway.docker.internal,
and host.lima.internal are well-known DNS names that container runtimes
use to resolve the host machine. Users running Ollama on the host with
the agent in Docker/Podman hit the default 120s stream timeout instead
of the bumped 1800s because these hostnames weren't recognized as local.
Add _CONTAINER_LOCAL_SUFFIXES tuple and suffix check in
is_local_endpoint(). Tests cover all three runtime families plus a
negative case for domains that merely contain the suffix as a substring.
- add all_profiles=False to find_gateway_pids() and
kill_gateway_processes() so hermes update and gateway stop --all
can still discover processes across all profiles
- narrow bare 'except Exception' to (OSError, subprocess.TimeoutExpired)
- update test mocks to match new signatures
Adds two tests verifying that duplicate reasoning item IDs across
multi-turn Codex Responses conversations are correctly deduplicated
in both _chat_messages_to_responses_input() and
_preflight_codex_input_items().
_write_to_sandbox interpolated storage_dir and remote_path directly into
a shell command passed to env.execute(). Paths containing shell

This commit addresses a security vulnerability where unsanitized user inputs for commit_hash and file_path were passed directly to git commands in CheckpointManager.restore() and diff(). It validates commit hashes to be strictly hexadecimal characters without leading dashes (preventing flag injection like '--patch') and enforces file paths to stay within the working directory via root resolution. Regression tests test_restore_rejects_argument_injection, test_restore_rejects_invalid_hex_chars, and test_restore_rejects_path_traversal were added.
The cherry-picked fix from PR #7916 placed model propagation after
the credential pool early-return in _resolve_named_custom_runtime(),
making it dead code when a pool is active (which happens whenever
custom_providers has an api_key that auto-seeds the pool).
- Inject model into pool_result before returning
- Add 5 regression tests covering direct path, pool path, empty
model, and absent model scenarios
- Add 'model' to _VALID_CUSTOM_PROVIDER_FIELDS for config validation
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.
The interrupt mechanism in tools/interrupt.py used a process-global
threading.Event. In the gateway, multiple agents run concurrently in
the same process via run_in_executor. When any agent was interrupted
(user sends a follow-up message), the global flag killed ALL agents'
running tools — terminal commands, browser ops, web requests — across
all sessions.
Changes:
- tools/interrupt.py: Replace single threading.Event with a set of
interrupted thread IDs. set_interrupt() targets a specific thread;
is_interrupted() checks the current thread. Includes a backward-
compatible _ThreadAwareEventProxy for legacy _interrupt_event usage.
- run_agent.py: Store execution thread ID at start of run_conversation().
interrupt() and clear_interrupt() pass it to set_interrupt() so only
this agent's thread is affected.
- tools/code_execution_tool.py: Use is_interrupted() instead of
directly checking _interrupt_event.is_set().
- tools/process_registry.py: Same — use is_interrupted().
- tests: Update interrupt tests for per-thread semantics. Add new
TestPerThreadInterruptIsolation with two tests verifying cross-thread
isolation.
When a Python process exits uncleanly (SIGKILL, crash, gateway restart
via hermes update), in-memory _active_sessions tracking is lost but the
agent-browser node daemons and their Chromium child processes keep
running indefinitely. On a long-running system this causes unbounded
memory growth — 24 orphaned sessions consumed 7.6 GB on a production
machine over 9 days.
Add _reap_orphaned_browser_sessions() which scans the tmp directory for
agent-browser-{h_*,cdp_*} socket dirs on cleanup thread startup. For
each dir not tracked by the current process, reads the daemon PID file
and sends SIGTERM if the daemon is still alive. Handles edge cases:
dead PIDs, corrupt PID files, permission errors, foreign processes.
The reaper runs once on thread startup (not every 30s) to avoid races
with sessions being actively created by concurrent agents.
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.
The test expected content=None to immediately trigger thinking-exhaustion,
but PR #7738 correctly gates that check on _has_think_tags. Without think
tags, the agent falls through to normal continuation retry (3 attempts).
When API routers rewrite finish_reason from "length" to "tool_calls",
truncated JSON arguments bypassed the length handler and wasted 3
retry attempts in the generic JSON validation loop. Now detects
truncation patterns in tool call arguments regardless of finish_reason.

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.

Two-phase design so the warning fires before the user's first message
on every platform:
Phase 1 (__init__):
_check_compression_model_feasibility() runs during agent construction.
Resolves the auxiliary compression model (same chain as call_llm with
task='compression'), compares its context length to the main model's
compression threshold. If too small, emits via _emit_status() (prints
for CLI) and stores the warning in _compression_warning.
Phase 2 (run_conversation, first call):
_replay_compression_warning() re-sends the stored warning through
status_callback — which the gateway wires AFTER construction. The
warning is then cleared so it only fires once.
This ensures:
- CLI users see the warning immediately at startup (right after the
context limit line)
- Gateway users (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix,
Mattermost, Home Assistant, DingTalk, etc.) receive it via
status_callback('lifecycle', ...) on their first message
- logger.warning() always hits agent.log regardless of platform
Also warns when no auxiliary LLM provider is configured at all.
Entire check wrapped in try/except — never blocks startup.
11 tests covering: core warning logic, boundary conditions, exception
safety, two-phase store+replay, gateway callback wiring, and
single-delivery guarantee.
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

Core fix unanimous across all six; config toggle from #7838; inter-chunk
delay from #7825.
Independent halving of width and height caused aspect ratio distortion
for extreme dimensions (e.g. 8000x200 panoramas). When one axis hit the
64px floor, the other kept shrinking — collapsing the ratio toward 1:1.
Use proportional scaling instead: when either dimension hits the floor,
derive the effective scale factor and apply it to both axes.
Add tests for extreme panorama (8000x200) and tall narrow (200x6000)
images to verify aspect ratio preservation.
hermes claw migrate now always shows a full dry-run preview before
making any changes. The user reviews what would be imported, then
confirms to proceed. --dry-run stops after the preview. --yes skips
the confirmation prompt.
This matches the existing setup wizard flow (_offer_openclaw_migration)
which already did preview-then-confirm.
Docs updated across both docs/migration/openclaw.md and
website/docs/guides/migrate-from-openclaw.md to reflect:
- New preview-first UX flow

Adds Xiaomi MiMo as a direct provider (XIAOMI_API_KEY) with models:
- mimo-v2-pro (1M context), mimo-v2-omni (256K, multimodal), mimo-v2-flash (256K, cheapest)
Standard OpenAI-compatible provider checklist: auth.py, config.py, models.py,
main.py, providers.py, doctor.py, model_normalize.py, model_metadata.py,
models_dev.py, auxiliary_client.py, .env.example, cli-config.yaml.example.
Follow-up: vision tasks use mimo-v2-omni (multimodal) instead of the user's
main model. Non-vision aux uses the user's selected model. Added
_PROVIDER_VISION_MODELS dict for provider-specific vision model overrides.
On failure, falls back to aggregators (gemini flash) via existing fallback chain.
Corrects pre-existing context lengths: mimo-v2-pro 1048576→1000000,
mimo-v2-omni 1048576→256000, adds mimo-v2-flash 256000.
36 tests covering registry, aliases, auto-detect, credentials, models.dev,
normalization, URL mapping, providers module, doctor, aux client, vision
model override, and agent init.

- Raise hard image limit from 5 MB to 20 MB (matches most restrictive provider)
- Send images at full resolution first; only auto-resize to 5 MB on API failure
- Add _is_image_size_error() helper to detect size-related API rejections
- Auto-resize uses Pillow (soft dep) with progressive downscale + JPEG quality reduction
- Fix get_model_capabilities() to check modalities.input for vision support
- Increase default vision timeout from 30s to 120s (matches hardcoded fallback intent)
- Applied retry-with-resize to both vision_analyze_tool and browser_vision

* 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.

Two bugs affecting Qwen OAuth users:
1. Wrong context window — qwen3-coder-plus showed 128K instead of 1M.
Added specific entries before the generic qwen catch-all:
- qwen3-coder-plus: 1,000,000 (corrected from PR's 1,048,576 per
official Alibaba Cloud docs and OpenRouter)
- qwen3-coder: 262,144
2. Random stopping — max_tokens was suppressed for Qwen Portal, so the
server applied its own low default. Reasoning models exhaust that on
thinking tokens. Now: honor explicit max_tokens, default to 65536
when unset.

* feat: add watch_patterns to background processes for output monitoring
Adds a new 'watch_patterns' parameter to terminal(background=true) that
lets the agent specify strings to watch for in process output. When a
matching line appears, a notification is queued and injected as a
synthetic message — triggering a new agent turn, similar to
notify_on_complete but mid-process.
Implementation:
- ProcessSession gets watch_patterns field + rate-limit state
- _check_watch_patterns() in ProcessRegistry scans new output chunks
from all three reader threads (local, PTY, env-poller)
- Rate limited: max 8 notifications per 10s window
- Sustained overload (45s) permanently disables watching for that process
- watch_queue alongside completion_queue, same consumption pattern
- CLI drains watch_queue in both idle loop and post-turn drain
- Gateway drains after agent runs via _inject_watch_notification()
- Checkpoint persistence + crash recovery includes watch_patterns
- Blocked in execute_code sandbox (like other bg params)
- 20 new tests covering matching, rate limiting, overload kill,
checkpoint persistence, schema, and handler passthrough
Usage:
terminal(
command='npm run dev',
background=true,
watch_patterns=['ERROR', 'WARN', 'listening on port']
)
* refactor: merge watch_queue into completion_queue
Unified queue with 'type' field distinguishing 'completion',
'watch_match', and 'watch_disabled' events. Extracted
_format_process_notification() in CLI and gateway to handle
all event types in a single drain loop. Removes duplication
across both CLI drain sites and the gateway.
Cover all public functions with 50 test cases:
- managed_nous_tools_enabled() feature flag toggling
- normalize_browser_cloud_provider() coercion and defaults
- coerce_modal_mode() / normalize_modal_mode() validation
- has_direct_modal_credentials() env vars and config file detection
- resolve_modal_backend_state() full backend selection matrix
- resolve_openai_audio_api_key() priority chain and edge cases

Follow-up fixes for cherry-pick conflicts:

Three fixes for vision_analyze returning cryptic 400 "Invalid request data":
1. Pre-flight base64 size check — base64 inflates data ~33%, so a 3.8 MB
file exceeds the 5 MB API limit. Reject early with a clear message
instead of letting the provider return a generic 400.
2. Handle file:// URIs — strip the scheme and resolve as a local path.
Previously file:///path/to/image.png fell through to the "invalid
image source" error since it matched neither is_file() nor http(s).
3. Separate invalid_request errors from "does not support vision" errors
so the user gets actionable guidance (resize/compress/retry) instead
of a misleading "model does not support vision" message.
Closes#6677
YAML parses bare numeric keys (e.g. `12306:`) as int, causing
TypeError when sorted() is called on mixed int/str collections.
Changes:
- Normalize toolset_names entries to str in _get_platform_tools()
- Cast MCP server name to str(name) when building enabled_mcp_servers
- Add regression test
Four fixes to auxiliary_client.py:
1. Respect explicit provider as hard constraint (#7559)
When auxiliary.{task}.provider is explicitly set (not 'auto'),
connection/payment errors no longer silently fallback to cloud
providers. Local-only users (Ollama, vLLM) will no longer get
unexpected OpenRouter billing from auxiliary tasks.
2. Eliminate model='default' sentinel (#7512)
_resolve_api_key_provider() no longer sends literal 'default' as
model name to APIs. Providers without a known aux model in
_API_KEY_PROVIDER_AUX_MODELS are skipped instead of producing
model_not_supported errors.
3. Add payment/connection fallback to async_call_llm (#7512)
async_call_llm now mirrors sync call_llm's fallback logic for
payment (402) and connection errors. Previously, async consumers
(session_search, web_tools, vision) got hard failures with no
recovery. Also fixes hardcoded 'openrouter' fallback to use the
full auto-detection chain.
4. Use accurate error reason in fallback logs (#7512)
_try_payment_fallback() now accepts a reason parameter and uses
it in log messages. Connection timeouts are no longer misleadingly
logged as 'payment error'.
Closes#7559Closes#7512
The auxiliary client always calls client.chat.completions.create(),
ignoring the api_mode config flag. This breaks codex-family models
(e.g. gpt-5.3-codex) on direct OpenAI API keys, which need the
/v1/responses endpoint.
Changes:
- Expand _resolve_task_provider_model to return api_mode (5-tuple)
- Read api_mode from auxiliary.{task}.api_mode config and env vars
(AUXILIARY_{TASK}_API_MODE)
- Pass api_mode through _get_cached_client to resolve_provider_client
- Add _needs_codex_wrap/_wrap_if_needed helpers that wrap plain OpenAI
clients in CodexAuxiliaryClient when api_mode=codex_responses or
when auto-detection finds api.openai.com + codex model pattern
- Apply wrapping at all custom endpoint, named custom provider, and
API-key provider return paths
- Update test mocks for the new 5-tuple return format
Users can now set:
auxiliary:
compression:
model: gpt-5.3-codex
base_url: https://api.openai.com/v1
api_mode: codex_responses
Closes#6800
_discover_bundled_skills() used the directory name to identify skills,
but skills_tool.py and skills_hub.py use the `name:` field from SKILL.md
frontmatter. This mismatch caused 9 builtin skills whose directory name
differs from their SKILL.md name to be written to .bundled_manifest
under the wrong key, so `hermes skills list` showed them as "local"
instead of "builtin".
Read the frontmatter name field (with directory-name fallback) so the
manifest keys match what the rest of the codebase expects.
Closes#6835
Aligns MiniMax provider with official API documentation. Fixes 6 bugs:
transport mismatch (openai_chat -> anthropic_messages), credential leak
in switch_model(), prompt caching sent to non-Anthropic endpoints,
dot-to-hyphen model name corruption, trajectory compressor URL routing,
and stale doctor health check.
Also corrects context window (204,800), thinking support (manual mode),
max output (131,072), and model catalog (M2 family only on /anthropic).

Two fixes for the honcho memory plugin: (1) initOnSessionStart — opt-in eager session init in tools mode so sync_turn() works from turn 1 (default false, non-breaking). (2) peerName fix — gateway user_id no longer silently overwrites an explicitly configured peerName. 11 new tests. Contributed by @Kathie-yu.
_is_oauth_token() returned True for any key not starting with 'sk-ant-api',
which means MiniMax and Alibaba API keys were falsely treated as Anthropic
OAuth tokens. This triggered the Claude Code compatibility path:
- All tool names prefixed with mcp_ (e.g. mcp_terminal, mcp_web_search)
- System prompt injected with 'You are Claude Code' identity
- 'Hermes Agent' replaced with 'Claude Code' throughout
Fix: Make _is_oauth_token() positively identify Anthropic OAuth tokens by
their key format instead of using a broad catch-all:
- sk-ant-* (but not sk-ant-api-*) -> setup tokens, managed keys
- eyJ* -> JWTs from Anthropic OAuth flow
- Everything else -> False (MiniMax, Alibaba, etc.)

* 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.
- Remove unreachable `if not content_sample` branch inside the truthy
`if content_sample` block in `_is_likely_binary()` (dead code that
could never execute).
- Replace `linter_cmd.format(file=...)` with `linter_cmd.replace("{file}", ...)`
in `_check_lint()` so file paths containing curly braces (e.g.
`src/{test}.py`) no longer raise KeyError/ValueError.
- Add 16 unit tests covering both fixes and edge cases.

GPT-5+ models (except gpt-5-mini) are only accessible via the Responses
API on Copilot. When these models were configured as the compression
summary_model (or any auxiliary task), the plain OpenAI client sent them
to /chat/completions which returned a 400 error:
model "gpt-5.4-mini" is not accessible via the /chat/completions endpoint
resolve_provider_client() now checks _should_use_copilot_responses_api()
for the copilot provider and wraps the client in CodexAuxiliaryClient
when needed, routing calls through responses.stream() transparently.
Adds tests for both the wrapping (gpt-5.4-mini) and non-wrapping
(gpt-4.1-mini) paths.
Add delegation.reasoning_effort config key so subagents can run at a
different thinking level than the parent agent. When set, overrides
the parent's reasoning_config; when empty, inherits as before.
Valid values: xhigh, high, medium, low, minimal, none (disables thinking).
Config path: delegation.reasoning_effort in config.yaml
Files changed:
- tools/delegate_tool.py: resolve override in _build_child_agent
- hermes_cli/config.py: add reasoning_effort to DEFAULT_CONFIG
- tests/tools/test_delegate.py: 4 new tests covering all cases
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).
matrix-nio pulls in peewee -> atomicwrites (sdist-only, archived,
missing build-system metadata) which breaks nix flake builds.
mautrix-python publishes wheels, has a leaner dep tree, and its
[encryption] extra uses the same python-olm without the problematic
transitive chain.
- Add shared is_wsl() to hermes_constants (like is_termux)
- Update supports_systemd_services() to verify systemd is actually
running on WSL before returning True
- Add WSL-specific guidance in gateway install/start/setup/status
for both cases: WSL+systemd and WSL without systemd
- Improve help strings: 'run' now says recommended for WSL/Docker,
'start'/'install' now mention systemd/launchd explicitly
- Add WSL gateway FAQ section with tmux/nohup/Task Scheduler tips
- Update CLI commands docs with WSL tip
- Deduplicate _is_wsl() from clipboard.py to shared hermes_constants
- Fix clipboard tests to reset hermes_constants cache
- 20 new WSL-specific tests covering detection, systemd check,
supports_systemd_services integration, and command output
Motivated by user feedback: took 1 hour to figure out run vs start
on WSL, Telegram bot kept disconnecting due to flaky WSL systemd.
Cover the three key behaviors:
- bulk_upload_fn is called instead of per-file upload_fn
- Fallback to upload_fn when bulk_upload_fn is None
- Rollback on bulk upload failure retries all files
- Remove auto-activation: when context.engine is 'compressor' (default),
plugin-registered engines are NOT used. Users must explicitly set
context.engine to a plugin name to activate it.
- Add curses_radiolist() to curses_ui.py: single-select radio picker
with keyboard nav + text fallback, matching curses_checklist pattern.
- Rewrite cmd_toggle() as composite plugins UI:
Top section: general plugins with checkboxes (existing behavior)
Bottom section: provider plugin categories (Memory Provider, Context Engine)
with current selection shown inline. ENTER/SPACE on a category opens
a radiolist sub-screen for single-select configuration.
- Add provider discovery helpers: _discover_memory_providers(),
_discover_context_engines(), config read/save for memory.provider
and context.engine.
- Add tests: radiolist non-TTY fallback, provider config save/load,
discovery error handling, auto-activation removal verification.
- PluginContext.register_context_engine() lets plugins replace the
built-in ContextCompressor with a custom ContextEngine implementation
- PluginManager stores the registered engine; only one allowed
- run_agent.py checks for a plugin engine at init before falling back
to the default ContextCompressor
- reset_session_state() now calls engine.on_session_reset() instead of
poking internal attributes directly
- ContextCompressor.on_session_reset() handles its own internals
(_context_probed, _previous_summary, etc.)
- 19 new tests covering ABC contract, defaults, plugin slot registration,
rejection of duplicates/non-engines, and compressor reset behavior
- All 34 existing compressor tests pass unchanged
When models return empty responses (no content, no tool calls, no
reasoning), Hermes previously retried 3 times silently then fell through
to '(empty)' — without ever trying the fallback provider chain. Users on
GLM-4.5-Air and similar models experienced what appeared to be a
complete hang, especially in gateway (Telegram/Discord) contexts where
the silent retries produced zero feedback.
Changes:
- After exhausting 3 empty retries, attempt _try_activate_fallback()
before giving up with '(empty)'. If fallback succeeds, reset retry
counter and continue the conversation loop with the new provider.
- Replace all _vprint() calls in recovery paths with _emit_status(),
which surfaces messages through both CLI (_vprint with force=True)
and gateway (status_callback -> adapter.send). Users now see:
* '⚠️ Empty response from model — retrying (N/3)' during retries
* '⚠️ Model returning empty responses — switching to fallback...'
* '↻ Switched to fallback: <model> (<provider>)' on success
* '❌ Model returned no content after all retries [and fallback]'
- Add logger.warning() throughout empty response paths for log file
visibility (model name, provider, retry counts).
- Upgrade _last_content_with_tools fallback from logger.debug to
logger.info + _emit_status so recovery is visible.
- Upgrade thinking-only prefill continuation to use _emit_status.
Tests:
- test_empty_response_triggers_fallback_provider: verifies fallback
activation after 3 empty retries produces content from fallback model
- test_empty_response_fallback_also_empty_returns_empty: verifies
graceful degradation when fallback also returns empty
- test_empty_response_emits_status_for_gateway: verifies _emit_status
is called during retries so gateway users see feedback
Addresses #7180.
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
* fix(nix): gate matrix extra to Linux in [all] profile
matrix-nio[e2e] depends on python-olm which is upstream-broken on modern
macOS (Clang 21+, archived libolm). Previously the [matrix] extra was
completely excluded from [all], meaning NixOS users (who install via [all])
had no Matrix support at all.
Add a sys_platform == 'linux' marker so [all] pulls in [matrix] on Linux
(where python-olm builds fine) while still skipping it on macOS. This
fixes the NixOS setup path without breaking macOS installs.
Update the regression test to verify the Linux-gated marker is present
rather than just checking matrix is absent from [all].
Fixes#4594
* chore: regenerate uv.lock with matrix-on-linux in [all]
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

for non-destructive cache refreshes)
- TestDelegationCleanup: calls the real _run_single_child function and
verifies close() is called on the child agent
Ref: #7131
Add is_network_accessible() helper using Python's ipaddress module to
robustly classify bind addresses (IPv4/IPv6 loopback, wildcards,
mapped addresses, hostname resolution with DNS-failure-fails-closed).
The API server connect() now refuses to start when the bind address is
network-accessible and no API_SERVER_KEY is set, preventing RCE from
other machines on the network.

- Bug 1: replace read_file(limit=10000) with read_file_raw in _apply_update,
preventing silent truncation of files >2000 lines and corruption of lines
>2000 chars; add read_file_raw to FileOperations abstract interface and
ShellFileOperations
- Bug 2: split apply_v4a_operations into validate-then-apply phases; if any
hunk fails validation, zero writes occur (was: continue after failure,
leaving filesystem partially modified)
- Bug 3: parse_v4a_patch now returns an error for begin-marker-with-no-ops,
empty file paths, and moves missing a destination (was: always returned
error=None)
- Bug 4: raise strategy 7 (block anchor) single-candidate similarity threshold
from 0.10 to 0.50, eliminating false-positive matches in repetitive code
- Bug 5: add _strategy_unicode_normalized (new strategy 7) with position
mapping via _build_orig_to_norm_map; smart quotes and em-dashes in
LLM-generated patches now match via strategies 1-6 before falling through
to fuzzy strategies
- Bug 6: extend fuzzy_find_and_replace to return 4-tuple (content, count,
error, strategy); update all 5 call sites across patch_parser.py,
file_operations.py, and skill_manager_tool.py
- Bug 7: guard in _apply_update returns error when addition-only context hint
is ambiguous (>1 occurrences); validation phase errors on both 0 and >1
- Bug 8: _apply_delete returns error (not silent success) on missing file
- Bug 9: _validate_operations checks source existence and destination absence
for MOVE operations before any write occurs

From #6957
When _build_api_kwargs() throws an exception, the except handler in
the retry loop referenced api_kwargs before it was assigned. This
caused an UnboundLocalError that masked the real error, making
debugging impossible for the user.
Two _dump_api_request_debug() calls in the except block (non-retryable
client error path and max-retries-exhausted path) both accessed
api_kwargs without checking if it was assigned.
Fix: initialize api_kwargs = None before the retry loop and guard both
dump calls. Now the real error surfaces instead of the masking
UnboundLocalError.

HERMES_OVERLAYS keys use models.dev IDs (e.g. 'github-copilot') but
_PROVIDER_MODELS curated lists and config.yaml use Hermes provider IDs
('copilot'). list_authenticated_providers() Section 2 was using the
overlay key directly for model lookups and is_current checks, causing:
- 0 models shown for copilot, kimi, kilo, opencode, vercel
- is_current never matching the config provider
Fix: build reverse mapping from PROVIDER_TO_MODELS_DEV to translate
overlay keys to Hermes slugs before curated list lookup and result
construction. Also adds 'kimi-for-coding' alias in auth.py so the
picker's returned slug resolves correctly in resolve_provider().
Fixes#5223. Based on work by HearthCore (#6492) and linxule (#6287).

Adds xAI as a first-class provider: ProviderConfig in auth.py,
HermesOverlay in providers.py, 11 curated Grok models, URL mapping
in model_metadata.py, aliases (x-ai, x.ai), and env var tests.
Uses standard OpenAI-compatible chat completions.
Closes#7050
`delegate_task` silently truncated batch tasks to 3 — the model sends
5 tasks, gets results for 3, never told 2 were dropped. Now returns a
clear tool_error explaining the limit and how to fix it.
The limit is configurable via:
- delegation.max_concurrent_children in config.yaml (priority 1)
- DELEGATION_MAX_CONCURRENT_CHILDREN env var (priority 2)
- default: 3
Uses the same _load_config() path as the rest of delegate_task for
consistent config priority. Clamps to min 1, warns on non-integer
config values.
Also removes the hardcoded maxItems: 3 from the JSON schema — the
schema was blocking the model from even attempting >3 tasks before
the runtime check could fire. The runtime check gives a much more
actionable error message.
Backwards compatible: default remains 3, existing configs unchanged.
Isolate system tool configs (git, ssh, gh, npm) per profile by injecting
a per-profile HOME into subprocess environments only. The Python
process's own os.environ['HOME'] and Path.home() are never modified,
preserving all existing profile infrastructure.
Activation is directory-based: when {HERMES_HOME}/home/ exists on disk,
subprocesses see it as HOME. The directory is created automatically for:
- Docker: entrypoint.sh bootstraps it inside the persistent volume
- Named profiles: added to _PROFILE_DIRS in profiles.py
Injection points (all three subprocess env builders):
- tools/environments/local.py _make_run_env() — foreground terminal
- tools/environments/local.py _sanitize_subprocess_env() — background procs
- tools/code_execution_tool.py child_env — execute_code sandbox
Single source of truth: hermes_constants.get_subprocess_home()
Closes#4426
Broaden the UnicodeEncodeError recovery to handle systems with ASCII-only
locale (LANG=C, Chromebooks) where ANY non-ASCII character causes encoding
failure, not just lone surrogates.
Changes:
- Add _strip_non_ascii() and _sanitize_messages_non_ascii() helpers that
strip all non-ASCII characters from message content, name, and tool_calls
- Update the UnicodeEncodeError handler to detect ASCII codec errors and
fall back to non-ASCII sanitization after surrogate check fails
- Sanitize tool_calls arguments and name fields (not just content)
- Fix bare .encode() in cli.py suspend handler to use explicit utf-8
- Add comprehensive test suite (17 tests)
When delegate_task runs, the parent agent's activity tracker freezes
because child.run_conversation() blocks and the child's own
_touch_activity() never propagates back to the parent. The gateway
inactivity timeout then fires a spurious 'No activity' warning and
eventually kills the agent, even though the subagent is actively working.
Fix: add a heartbeat thread in _run_single_child that calls
parent._touch_activity() every 30 seconds with detail from the child's
activity summary (current tool, iteration count). The thread is a daemon
that starts before child.run_conversation() and is cleaned up in the
finally block.
This also improves the gateway 'Still working...' status messages —
instead of just 'running: delegate_task', users now see what the
subagent is actually doing (e.g., 'delegate_task: subagent running
terminal (iteration 5/50)').
_resolve_verify() returned stale CA bundle paths from auth.json without
checking if the file exists. When a user logs into Nous Portal on their
host (where SSL_CERT_FILE points to a valid cert), that path gets
persisted in auth.json. Running hermes model later in Docker where the
host path doesn't exist caused FileNotFoundError bubbling up as
'Could not verify credentials: [Errno 2] No such file or directory'.
Now _resolve_verify validates the path exists before returning it. If
missing, logs a warning and falls back to True (default certifi-based
TLS verification).
In Docker, HERMES_HOME=/opt/data (set in Dockerfile) and users mount
their .hermes directory to /opt/data. However, profile operations used
Path.home() / '.hermes' which resolves to /root/.hermes in Docker —
an ephemeral container path, not the mounted volume.
This caused:
- Profiles created at /root/.hermes/profiles/ (lost on container recreate)
- active_profile sticky file written to wrong location
- profile list looking at wrong directory
Fix: Add get_default_hermes_root() to hermes_constants.py that detects
Docker/custom deployments (HERMES_HOME outside ~/.hermes) and returns
HERMES_HOME as the root. Also handles Docker profiles correctly
(<root>/profiles/<name> → root is grandparent).
Files changed:
- hermes_constants.py: new get_default_hermes_root()
- hermes_cli/profiles.py: _get_default_hermes_home() delegates to shared fn
- hermes_cli/main.py: _apply_profile_override() + _invalidate_update_cache()
- hermes_cli/gateway.py: _profile_suffix() + _profile_arg()
- Tests: 12 new tests covering Docker scenarios
fetch_api_models is imported locally inside _model_flow_named_custom from
hermes_cli.models, not defined as a module-level attribute of hermes_cli.main.

When opencode-go API key is set, it should appear in the /model list.
The provider was already in PROVIDER_TO_MODELS_DEV and PROVIDER_REGISTRY,
so it appears via Part 1 (built-in source).
Also fixes a potential issue in Part 2 (HERMES_OVERLAYS) where providers
with auth_type=api_key but no extra_env_vars would not be detected:
- Now also checks api_key_env_vars from PROVIDER_REGISTRY for api_key auth_type
- Add test verifying opencode-go appears when OPENCODE_GO_API_KEY is set
When switching models at runtime, the config_context_length override
was not being passed to the new context compressor instance. This
meant the user-specified context length from config.yaml was lost
after a model switch.
- Store _config_context_length on AIAgent instance during __init__
- Pass _config_context_length when creating new ContextCompressor in switch_model
- Add test to verify config_context_length is preserved across model switches
Fixes: quando estamos alterando o modelo não está alterando o tamanho do contexto
Port from anomalyco/opencode#21355: Alibaba's DashScope API returns a
unique throttling message ('Request rate increased too quickly...') that
doesn't match standard rate-limit patterns ('rate limit', 'too many
requests'). This caused Alibaba errors to fall through to the 'unknown'
category rather than being properly classified as rate_limit with
appropriate backoff/rotation.
Add 'rate increased too quickly' to _RATE_LIMIT_PATTERNS and test with
the exact error message observed from the Alibaba provider.
Telegram's Bot API only allows a specific set of emoji for bot reactions
(the ReactionEmoji enum). ✅ (U+2705) and ❌ (U+274C) are not in that
set, causing on_processing_complete reactions to silently fail with
REACTION_INVALID (caught at debug log level).
Replace with 👍 (U+1F44D) / 👎 (U+1F44E) which are always available in
Telegram's allowed reaction list. The 👀 (eyes) reaction used by
on_processing_start was already valid.
Based on the fix by @ppdng in PR #6685.

Tests updated:
- test_send_reaction: assert result == event_id string
- test_send_reaction_no_client: assert result is None

Four gaps in DANGEROUS_PATTERNS found by running 10 targeted tests that
each mapped to a specific pattern in approval.py and checked whether the
documented defense actually held.
1. **Heredoc script injection** — `python3 << 'EOF'` bypasses the
existing `-e`/`-c` flag pattern. Adds pattern for interpreter + `<<`
covering python{2,3}, perl, ruby, node.
2. **PID expansion self-termination** — `kill -9 $(pgrep hermes)` is
opaque to the existing `pkill|killall` + name pattern because command
substitution is not expanded at detection time. Adds structural
patterns matching `kill` + `$(pgrep` and backtick variants.
3. **Git destructive operations** — `git reset --hard`, `push --force`,
`push -f`, `clean -f*`, and `branch -D` were entirely absent.
Note: `branch -d` also triggers because IGNORECASE is global —
acceptable since -d is still a delete, just a safe one, and the
prompt is only a confirmation, not a hard block.
4. **chmod +x then execute** — two-step social engineering where a
script containing dangerous commands is first written to disk (not
checked by write_file), then made executable and run as `./script`.
Pattern catches `chmod +x ... [;&|]+ ./` combos. Does not solve the
deeper architectural issue (write_file not checking content) — that
is called out in the PR description as a known limitation.
Tests: 23 new cases across 4 test classes, all in test_approval.py:
- TestHeredocScriptExecution (7 cases, incl. regressions for -c)
- TestPgrepKillExpansion (5 cases, incl. safe kill PID negative)
- TestGitDestructiveOps (8 cases, incl. safe git status/push negatives)
- TestChmodExecuteCombo (3 cases, incl. safe chmod-only negative)
Full suite: 146 passed, 0 failed.
_resolve_api_key_provider() now checks is_provider_explicitly_configured
before calling _try_anthropic(). Previously, any auxiliary fallback
(e.g. when kimi-coding key was invalid) would silently discover and use
Claude Code OAuth tokens — consuming the user's Claude Max subscription
without their knowledge.
This is the auxiliary-client counterpart of the setup-wizard gate in
PR #4210.

Previously, removing a claude_code credential from the anthropic pool
only printed a note — the next load_pool() re-seeded it from
~/.claude/.credentials.json. Now writes a 'suppressed_sources' flag
to auth.json that _seed_from_singletons checks before seeding.
Follows the pattern of env: source removal (clears .env var) and
device_code removal (clears auth store state).

_seed_from_singletons('anthropic') now checks
is_provider_explicitly_configured('anthropic') before reading
~/.claude/.credentials.json. Without this, the auxiliary client
fallback chain silently discovers and uses Claude Code tokens when
the user's primary provider key is invalid — consuming their Claude
Max subscription quota without consent.
Follows the same gating pattern as PR #4210 (setup wizard gate)
but applied to the credential pool seeding path.

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
When kill_process() sends SIGTERM, both it and the reader thread race
to call _move_to_finished() — kill_process sets exit_code=-15 and
enqueues a notification, then the reader thread's process.wait()
returns with exit_code=143 (128+SIGTERM) and enqueues a second one.
Fix: make _move_to_finished() idempotent by tracking whether the
session was actually removed from _running. The second call sees it
was already moved and skips the completion_queue.put().
Adds regression test: test_move_to_finished_idempotent_no_duplicate
- test_background_autocompletes: pytest.importorskip("prompt_toolkit")
so the test skips gracefully where the CLI dep is absent
- test_run_agent_progress_stays_in_originating_topic: update stale emoji
💻 → ⚙️ to match get_tool_emoji("terminal", default="⚙️") in run.py
- test_internal_event_bypass{_authorization,_pairing}: mock
_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.
The resume_session and load_session handlers were implemented but undiscoverable by ACP clients because the capabilities weren't declared in the initialize response. Adds load_session=True and resume=SessionResumeCapabilities() plus wire-format tests. Fixes#6633. Contributed by @luyao618.
launchd_stop() previously used `launchctl kill SIGTERM` which only
signals the process. Because the plist has KeepAlive.SuccessfulExit=false,
launchd immediately respawns the gateway — making `hermes gateway stop`
a no-op that prints '✓ Service stopped' while the service keeps running.
Switch to `launchctl bootout` which unloads the service definition so
KeepAlive can't trigger. The process exits and stays stopped until
`hermes gateway start` (which already handles re-bootstrapping unloaded
jobs via error codes 3/113).
Also adds _wait_for_gateway_exit() after bootout to ensure the process
is fully gone before returning, and tolerates 'already unloaded' errors.
Fixes: .env changes not taking effect after gateway stop+restart on macOS.
The root cause was that stop didn't actually stop — the respawned process
loaded the old env before the user's restart command ran.
Automated dead code audit using vulture + coverage.py + ast-grep intersection,
confirmed by Opus deep verification pass. Every symbol verified to have zero

of stale test code. 3 entire files deleted (agent/builtin_memory_provider.py,
hermes_cli/checklist.py, tests/hermes_cli/test_setup_model_selection.py).

When an MCP server returns both content (model-oriented text) and
structuredContent (machine-oriented JSON), the client now combines
them instead of discarding content. The text content becomes the
primary result (what the agent reads), and structuredContent is
included as supplementary metadata.
Previously, structuredContent took full precedence — causing data
loss for servers like Desktop Commander that put the actual file
text in content and metadata in structuredContent.
MCP spec guidance: for conversational/agent UX, prefer content.
When installing a system service via sudo, ExecStart, WorkingDirectory,
VIRTUAL_ENV, and PATH entries were not remapped to the target user's
home — only HERMES_HOME was. This caused the service to fail with
status=200/CHDIR because the target user cannot access /root/.
Adds _remap_path_for_user() helper and applies it to all path variables
in the system branch of generate_systemd_unit().
Closes#6989
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

- Rewrite misleading scheduler test that claimed to exercise home channel
fallback but actually tested the explicit platform:chat_id parsing path
- 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.
xAI /v1/models does not return context_length metadata, so Hermes
probes down to the 128k default whenever a user configures a custom
provider pointing at https://api.x.ai/v1. This forces every xAI user
to manually override model.context_length in config.yaml (2M for
Grok 4.20 / 4.1-fast / 4-fast) or lose most of the usable context
window.
Add DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS entries for the Grok family so the
fallback lookup returns the correct value via substring matching.
Values sourced from models.dev (2026-04) and cross-checked against
the xAI /v1/models listing:
- grok-4.20-* 2,000,000 (reasoning, non-reasoning, multi-agent)
- grok-4-1-fast-* 2,000,000
- grok-4-fast-* 2,000,000
- grok-4 / grok-4-0709 256,000
- grok-code-fast-1 256,000
- grok-3* 131,072
- grok-2 / latest 131,072
- grok-2-vision* 8,192
- grok (catch-all) 131,072
Keys are ordered longest-first so that specific variants match before
the catch-all, consistent with the existing Claude/Gemma/MiniMax entries.
Add TestDefaultContextLengths.test_grok_models_context_lengths and
test_grok_substring_matching to pin the values and verify the full
lookup path. All 77 tests in test_model_metadata.py 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.

Change behavior from silent clamping to returning an error when the
model requests a foreground timeout exceeding FOREGROUND_MAX_TIMEOUT.
This forces the model to use background=true for long-running commands
rather than silently changing its intent.
- Config default timeouts above the cap are NOT rejected (user's choice)
- Only explicit model-requested timeouts trigger rejection
- Added boundary test for timeout exactly at the limit
When the model calls terminal() in foreground mode without background=true
(e.g. to start a server), the tool call blocks until the command exits or
the timeout expires. Without an upper bound the model can request arbitrarily
high timeouts (the schema had minimum=1 but no maximum), blocking the entire
agent session for hours until the gateway idle watchdog kills it.
Changes:
- Add FOREGROUND_MAX_TIMEOUT (600s, configurable via
TERMINAL_MAX_FOREGROUND_TIMEOUT env var) that caps foreground timeout
- Clamp effective_timeout to the cap when background=false and timeout
exceeds the limit
- Include a timeout_note in the tool result when clamped, nudging the
model to use background=true for long-running processes
- Update schema description to show the max timeout value
- Remove dead clamping code in the background branch that could never
fire (max_timeout was set to effective_timeout, so timeout > max_timeout
was always false)
- Add 7 tests covering clamping, no-clamping, config-default-exceeds-cap
edge case, background bypass, default timeout, constant value, and

- Fixed bug where timeout_note said 'Requested timeout Nones' when
clamping fired from config default exceeding cap (timeout param is
None). Now uses unclamped_timeout instead of the raw timeout param.
- Removed unused pytest import from test file
- Extracted test config dict into _make_env_config() helper
- Fixed tautological test_default_value assertion
- Added missing test for config default > cap with no model timeout
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.
Extends the /fast command to support Anthropic's Fast Mode beta in addition
to OpenAI Priority Processing. When enabled on Claude Opus 4.6, adds
speed:"fast" and the fast-mode-2026-02-01 beta header to API requests for
~2.5x faster output token throughput.
Changes:
- hermes_cli/models.py: Add _ANTHROPIC_FAST_MODE_MODELS registry,
model_supports_fast_mode() now recognizes Claude Opus 4.6,
resolve_fast_mode_overrides() returns {speed: fast} for Anthropic
vs {service_tier: priority} for OpenAI
- agent/anthropic_adapter.py: Add _FAST_MODE_BETA constant,
build_anthropic_kwargs() accepts fast_mode=True which injects
speed:fast + beta header via extra_headers (skipped for third-party
Anthropic-compatible endpoints like MiniMax)
- run_agent.py: Pass fast_mode to build_anthropic_kwargs in the
anthropic_messages path of _build_api_kwargs()
- cli.py: Update _handle_fast_command with provider-aware messaging
(shows 'Anthropic Fast Mode' vs 'Priority Processing')
- hermes_cli/commands.py: Update /fast description to mention both
providers
- tests: 13 new tests covering Anthropic model detection, override
resolution, CLI availability, routing, adapter kwargs, and
third-party endpoint safety
When `hermes update` stashes local changes and the restore hits merge
conflicts, the old code prompted the user to reset or keep conflict
markers. If the user declined the reset, git conflict markers
(<<<<<<< Updated upstream) were left in source files, making hermes
completely unrunnable with a SyntaxError on the next invocation.
Additionally, the interactive path called sys.exit(1), which killed
the entire update process before pip dependency install, skill sync,
and gateway restart could finish — even though the code pull itself
had succeeded.
Changes:
- Always auto-reset to clean state when stash restore conflicts
- Remove the "Reset working tree?" prompt (footgun)
- Remove sys.exit(1) — return False so cmd_update continues normally
- User's changes remain safely in the stash for manual recovery
Also fixes a secondary bug where the conflict handling prompt used
bare input() instead of the input_fn parameter, which would hang
in gateway mode.
Tests updated: replaced prompt/sys.exit assertions with auto-reset
behavior checks; removed the "user declines reset" test (path no
longer exists).
After mid-loop compression (triggered by 413, context_overflow, or Anthropic
long-context tier errors), _compress_context() creates a new session in SQLite
and resets _last_flushed_db_idx=0. However, conversation_history was not cleared,
so _flush_messages_to_session_db() computed:
flush_from = max(len(conversation_history=200), _last_flushed_db_idx=0) = 200
messages[200:] → empty (compressed messages < 200)
This resulted in zero messages being written to the new session's SQLite store.
On resume, the user would see 'Session found but has no messages.'
The preflight compression path (line 7311) already had the fix:
conversation_history = None
This commit adds the same clearing to the three mid-loop compression sites:
- Anthropic long-context tier overflow
- HTTP 413 payload too large
- Generic context_overflow error
Reported by Aaryan (Nous community).
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.
22 tests covering:
- 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
All 5 platform adapters tested.
Raise the default httpx stream read timeout from 60s to 120s for all
providers. Additionally, auto-detect local LLM endpoints (Ollama,
llama.cpp, vLLM) and raise the read timeout to HERMES_API_TIMEOUT
(1800s) since local models can take minutes for prefill on large
contexts before producing the first token.
The stale stream timeout already had this local auto-detection pattern;
the httpx read timeout was missing it — causing a hard 60s wall that
users couldn't find (HERMES_STREAM_READ_TIMEOUT was undocumented).
Changes:
- Default HERMES_STREAM_READ_TIMEOUT: 60s -> 120s
- Auto-detect local endpoints -> raise to 1800s (user override respected)
- Document HERMES_STREAM_READ_TIMEOUT and HERMES_STREAM_STALE_TIMEOUT
- Add 10 parametrized tests

When the model mentions <think> as literal text in its response (e.g.
"(/think not producing <think> tags)"), the streaming display treated it
as a reasoning block opener and suppressed everything after it. The
response box would close with truncated content and no error — the API
response was complete but the display ate it.
Root cause: _stream_delta() matched <think> anywhere in the text stream
regardless of position. Real reasoning blocks always start at the
beginning of a line; mentions in prose appear mid-sentence.
Fix: track line position across streaming deltas with a
_stream_last_was_newline flag. Only enter reasoning suppression when
the tag appears at a block boundary (start of stream, after a newline,
or after only whitespace on the current line). Add a _flush_stream()
safety net that recovers buffered content if no closing tag is found
by end-of-stream.
Also fixes three related issues discovered during investigation:
- anthropic_adapter: _get_anthropic_max_output() now normalizes dots to
hyphens so 'claude-opus-4.6' matches the 'claude-opus-4-6' table key
(was returning 32K instead of 128K)
- run_agent: send explicit max_tokens for Claude models on Nous Portal,
same as OpenRouter — both proxy to Anthropic's API which requires it.
Without it the backend defaults to a low limit that truncates responses.
- run_agent: reset truncated_tool_call_retries after successful tool
execution so a single truncation doesn't poison the entire conversation.
Previously /fast only supported gpt-5.4 and forced a provider switch to
openai-codex. Now supports all 13 models from OpenAI's Priority Processing
pricing table (gpt-5.4, gpt-5.4-mini, gpt-5.2, gpt-5.1, gpt-5, gpt-5-mini,
gpt-4.1, gpt-4.1-mini, gpt-4.1-nano, gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini, o3, o4-mini).
Key changes:
- Replaced _FAST_MODE_BACKEND_CONFIG with _PRIORITY_PROCESSING_MODELS frozenset
- Removed provider-forcing logic — service_tier is now injected into whatever
API path the user is already on (Codex Responses, Chat Completions, or
OpenRouter passthrough)
- Added request_overrides support to chat_completions path in run_agent.py
- Updated messaging from 'Codex inference tier' to 'Priority Processing'
- Expanded test coverage for all supported models
