When a user quotes a file message (type=3) and @bot, the quote's desc field
only contains the filename without a ybres:// resource reference. The existing
QuoteContextMiddleware only extracted media refs from desc using the ybres regex,
which always returned empty for file quotes.
Fix: add a transcript lookup fallback in QuoteContextMiddleware.handle() —
when quote_media_refs is empty but reply_to_message_id is set, search the
session transcript for the quoted message_id and extract ybres anchors from
its content.
Also fix message_type classification: when quote media resolves non-image files,
override message_type to DOCUMENT so gateway/run.py's document injection logic
properly prepends the file path and content for the agent.
Follow-up to snav's PR #25463 contribution: flip default to on, broaden
scope so backfill fires whenever require_mention gates the bot (not just
shared-session channels).
Why:
- The mention-gate creates a session-transcript gap regardless of whether
the channel is shared or per-user. In per-user sessions, Alice's session
is still missing other participants' messages and her own pre-mention
messages — backfill fills both gaps.
- Threads naturally scope to thread-only history because discord.py's
channel.history() on a thread returns only that thread's messages.
- DMs still skip — every DM triggers the bot, so the session transcript
is already complete.
Changes:
- hermes_cli/config.py: discord.history_backfill default → true
- gateway/platforms/discord.py: drop the _is_shared gate, keep _is_dm
skip and _needed_mention gate; env var DISCORD_HISTORY_BACKFILL
default → 'true'
- cli-config.yaml.example + website docs: update defaults and prose;
add the DISCORD_HISTORY_BACKFILL / _LIMIT env var rows that were
documented in the PR description but missing from the env-var table
- tests/gateway/test_discord_free_response.py:
- flip test_discord_per_user_channel_does_not_backfill →
test_discord_per_user_channel_backfills_too (new behavior)
- add test_discord_dm_does_not_backfill (DM skip is invariant)
- give FakeThread a no-op history() so existing thread tests don't hit
a fake discord.Forbidden when backfill now fires on threads too
Tests: 160/160 in target files; 400/400 across all tests/gateway/ -k discord.
Adds optional channel-context backfill for Discord shared-channel sessions
so the agent can see recent messages it missed between its own turns
(typically when require_mention=true filters out most traffic).
Previously the agent only saw the @mention message that triggered it, which
led to disorienting replies in active multi-user channels where the
conversation context was invisible. With backfill enabled, a configurable
number of recent messages are fetched per-turn and prepended to the trigger
message as a context block, kept separate from sender-prefix logic so
attribution remains clean.
This re-opens the work from #13063 (approved by @OutThisLife on 2026-04-20,
closed when I closed the branch to address the simpolism:main head-branch
issue plus an ordering bug I caught later in live use). Filing against the
freshly-rewritten problem statement in #13054 so the design is grounded in
the failure mode rather than the implementation shape.
The implementation follows the **push-mode last-self-anchored** design from
the two options laid out in #13054. See the issue for the trade-off
discussion vs pull-mode (#13120 was an earlier closed PR using that shape).
Treating this as a reference implementation — happy to rewrite as
last-trigger anchoring or as a hybrid with #13120 if maintainers prefer.
Changes:
- gateway/platforms/discord.py:
- new `_discord_history_backfill()` / `_discord_history_backfill_limit()`
helpers (config.extra > env > default), mirroring the existing
`_discord_require_mention()` shape
- new `_fetch_channel_context()` that scans `channel.history()` backwards
from the trigger to the bot's last message (or limit), formats as
`[Recent channel messages] / [name] msg / ...`, respects DISCORD_ALLOW_BOTS,
skips system messages
- per-channel `_last_self_message_id` cache to narrow the fetch window
on hot paths (avoids full history scan when the bot has spoken recently)
- **IMPORTANT**: passes `oldest_first=False` explicitly to `channel.history()`.
discord.py 2.x silently flips the default to True when `after=` is supplied,
which would select the EARLIEST N messages after our last response instead
of the LATEST N before the trigger. In high-traffic windows this would
return stale tool traces and drop the actual final answer the user is
asking about. See regression test below. Caught in live use during a
Codex tool-trace burst on May 13 2026.
- gateway/config.py: discord_history_backfill + discord_history_backfill_limit
settings + yaml→env bridge
- gateway/platforms/base.py: channel_context field on MessageEvent
- gateway/run.py: prepend channel_context after sender-prefix so the
[sender name] tag applies to the trigger message alone, not to the backfill
- hermes_cli/config.py: defaults for new discord.history_backfill and
discord.history_backfill_limit keys
- cli-config.yaml.example: documented defaults
- tests/gateway/test_discord_free_response.py: 7 new tests covering
cold-start backfill, self-message stop boundary, other-bot filtering,
cache hot-path narrowing, stale-cache fallback, shared-channel +
per-user backfill paths, and the ordering regression test
(`test_fetch_channel_context_cache_uses_latest_window_when_after_set`)
- tests/gateway/test_config.py: yaml→env bridge tests
- tests/gateway/test_session.py: prefix-order edge cases
- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/discord.md: env vars + config keys +
usage docs
Tested on Ubuntu 24.04 — empirically validated in my own multi-bot Discord
research server for the past three weeks.
Fixes#13054
Supersedes #13063 (closed)
When the final streamed text is identical to the last plain-text edit,
stream_consumer._send_or_edit short-circuits and never calls
adapter.edit_message(finalize=True). For Telegram, this skips the
plain-text → MarkdownV2 conversion, leaving raw Markdown syntax visible
to the user.
Set REQUIRES_EDIT_FINALIZE = True on TelegramAdapter so the finalize
edit is always delivered, matching the existing DingTalk pattern.
Fixes#25710
WhatsApp pseudo-chats (Status updates / Stories, Channels / Newsletters,
broadcast lists) were being routed through the full agent pipeline. A
user's gateway.log showed the agent replying to a contact's Story
('status@broadcast') with 345 chars plus title-generation cost, which
also shows up in the contact's status feed.
Drop these JIDs at _should_process_message() before the policy gate so
they're filtered regardless of dm_policy or allowlist state. Covers:
- status@broadcast (Stories)
- *@newsletter (Channels)
- *@broadcast (broadcast lists, future-proofing)
The bridge.js already filters these on the fromMe outbound path, but
inbound events on self-chat mode skipped that check.
Tests:
- status@broadcast dropped on open policy
- broadcast filter wins over allowlisted senders
- real DMs still pass through
- helper unit cases (case-insensitive, whitespace-tolerant)
26/26 tests/gateway/test_whatsapp_group_gating.py pass; 59/59 adjacent
WhatsApp test suites pass.
The cherry-picked PR over-indented the edit_message_text block for
the mm: (model selected → switch) success path so the confirmation
edit lived inside the preceding 'except Exception as exc' branch and
only fired when the callback raised. Dedent the try/except back to
12-space indent so it runs after the callback succeeds, restoring
the original flow that removes the inline buttons and shows the
'Switched to ...' confirmation.
Add a regression test (test_model_selected_edits_message_on_success)
that asserts edit_message_text is awaited and the result text is
routed through format_message (MARKDOWN_V2 + backtick survival).
Add phuongvm to scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP.
Use MarkdownV2 formatting for Telegram callback follow-ups and interactive prompts where dynamic names or user text can break legacy Markdown parsing. Add regression coverage for reload-mcp, model picker, approval callbacks, and update prompts.
Brings Discord to parity with Telegram on the clarify tool's interactive
UX. Overrides BasePlatformAdapter.send_clarify on DiscordAdapter to attach
a button view when choices are present.
- ClarifyChoiceView: one discord.ui.Button per choice (max 24, Discord's
25-component view cap leaves one slot for Other) plus a final
'Other (type answer)' button.
- Numeric click -> tools.clarify_gateway.resolve_gateway_clarify(
clarify_id, choice_text) using the canonical choice text from the
gateway entry (falls back to the button label if the entry vanished).
- Other click -> tools.clarify_gateway.mark_awaiting_text(clarify_id) so
the gateway's text-intercept captures the next user message in this
session as the response.
- Auth via the shared _component_check_auth helper (same OR-semantics as
ExecApprovalView / SlashConfirmView / UpdatePromptView / ModelPickerView).
- Open-ended (no choices) path renders the prompt as a plain embed and
relies on the existing text-intercept resolution.
- Single-use: first valid click disables every button and updates the
embed footer with who answered and what they chose.
No changes to BasePlatformAdapter.send_clarify or the gateway's
clarify_callback wiring -- the existing scaffolding already drives all
adapters; Discord just inherits the default text fallback today and gains
buttons by virtue of this override.
Test conftest extended: _FakeEmbed gains add_field() / set_footer() stubs
so tests can construct embedded views without monkey-patching per-test.
Original PR: #19249 by @LeonSGP43. This is a reshape of the contributor's
work onto current main's clarify infrastructure (clarify_id + entry-based
resolution shared with Telegram, instead of a parallel on_answer-closure
mechanism). The button view structure and UX shape are preserved.
Tests: 14 new tests in tests/gateway/test_discord_clarify_buttons.py.
391/391 existing Discord gateway tests still pass.

The Feishu adapter wrapped lark-oapi's Connect() callable to inject
ping_interval/ping_timeout overrides, but made the wrapper async. The
underlying library uses Connect() as an async context manager (async
with Connect(...) as ws:), which requires the call itself to be sync
and return an AsyncContextManager — making it async meant the wrapper
was awaited eagerly and ws never bound.
Restoring the sync wrapper preserves the protocol while still injecting
the overrides.
Salvage of #25388 by @pearjelly (manually re-applied — original branch
was severely stale against current main).
Discord introduced message_snapshots for forwarded messages — text and
attachments live inside snap.content / snap.attachments rather than on
the parent message. _handle_message wasn't reading them, so forwards
showed up empty.
Defensively extracts snapshot text (when raw_content is empty) and
appends snapshot attachments to the working all_attachments list used
for type detection and media routing. hasattr/getattr guards keep this
safe on older discord.py installs without the field.
Salvage of #25462 by @1RB (manually re-applied — original branch was
stale against current main).
By default, once Hermes participates in a Discord thread (auto-created on
@mention or replied in once) it auto-responds to every subsequent message
in that thread without requiring further @mentions. That's the right default
for one-on-one conversations and isolated channel threads.
But it's a confirmed footgun in multi-bot threads. When a user invokes one
bot per turn — addressing Codex first, then Hermes — every other bot in the
thread also fires on every message, burning credits and spamming the channel.
Author has hit this personally in active multi-bot research-team threads.
Add a new `discord.thread_require_mention` config key (env:
`DISCORD_THREAD_REQUIRE_MENTION`), default `false` to preserve existing
behavior. When `true`, the in-thread mention shortcut is disabled and
threads are gated the same way channels are. Explicit @mentions still pass
through as expected.
Mirrors the existing helper shape (config.extra > env > default) and the
existing yaml→env bridge pattern used by `require_mention`.
Changes:
- gateway/platforms/discord.py: new `_discord_thread_require_mention()`
helper; in_bot_thread shortcut now AND's with `not _discord_thread_require_mention()`
- gateway/config.py: bridge `discord.thread_require_mention` from config.yaml
to `DISCORD_THREAD_REQUIRE_MENTION` env var (mirrors the existing
`require_mention` bridge two lines above)
- hermes_cli/config.py: add `thread_require_mention: False` default to
DEFAULT_CONFIG['discord']
- tests/gateway/test_discord_free_response.py: 4 new tests covering default
behaviour (in-thread shortcut still works), enabled behaviour (mention
required in threads), enabled+mentioned (mention still passes through),
and yaml-via-config.extra path. Also clears DISCORD_* env vars in the
`adapter` fixture so process-env state from the contributor's shell
doesn't leak into per-test behaviour.
- tests/gateway/test_config.py: 2 new tests covering the yaml→env bridge
(both the apply-from-yaml and env-precedence-over-yaml paths)
- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/discord.md: document the new env var
+ config key with multi-bot rationale; cross-link from `auto_thread`
section
Tested on Ubuntu 24.04.
Free-response channels are intended as lightweight chat surfaces — the bot
responds to every message without requiring an @mention. But the auto-thread
gate only checked DISCORD_NO_THREAD_CHANNELS, not DISCORD_FREE_RESPONSE_CHANNELS,
so every message in a free-response channel still spawned a brand-new thread.
That turns a chat channel into a thread-spawning machine: 1 thread per message.
The user-facing docs at website/docs/user-guide/messaging/discord.md already
describe the intended behavior ("Free-response channels also skip auto-threading
— the bot replies inline rather than spinning off a new thread per message"),
so this is a code-vs-docs gap, not a design change.
Fix: OR is_free_channel into skip_thread alongside the existing no_thread_channels
check. One-line production change.
Regression test added at tests/gateway/test_discord_free_response.py:
test_discord_free_response_channel_skips_auto_thread asserts that a message
in a free-response channel never calls _auto_create_thread. Reverting the
one-line fix causes the test to fail with 'Expected mock to not have been
awaited. Awaited 1 times.' — i.e. the test demonstrates the bug concretely.
Lets platform plugins own their YAML→env config bridge instead of forcing
core gateway/config.py to know every platform's schema.
The hook receives the full parsed config.yaml and the platform's own
sub-dict, may mutate os.environ (env > YAML precedence preserved via the
standard `not os.getenv(...)` guards), and may return a dict to merge
into PlatformConfig.extra. It runs during load_gateway_config() after
the existing generic shared-key loop and before _apply_env_overrides(),
mirroring the env_enablement_fn dispatch pattern (#21306, #21331).
Pure addition — no behavior change for existing platforms. Each of the
eight platforms with hardcoded YAML→env blocks today (discord, telegram,
whatsapp, slack, dingtalk, mattermost, matrix, feishu, ~252 LOC in
gateway/config.py) can migrate in independent follow-up PRs; the
hardcoded blocks remain functional in the meantime, and their
`not os.getenv(...)` guards make them no-ops for any env var the hook
already set.
Test coverage: 10 new tests in tests/gateway/test_platform_registry.py
covering field default, callable acceptance, env mutation, extras
merge, both signature args, exception swallowing, missing/non-dict
sections, and env > YAML precedence.
Refs #3823, #24356.
Closes#24836.
Fixes#25028.
The lazy-install hooks added in #25014 installed packages correctly but
failed to rebind module-level globals after install:
- Slack: missing aiohttp rebind → NameError on file uploads
- Feishu: none of the ~25 lark_oapi symbols rebound → TypeError on
adapter instantiation
- Matrix: mautrix.types enums stayed as stubs → mismatched values at
runtime
Introduces tools.lazy_deps.ensure_and_bind() — a DRY helper that
combines ensure() + importer-callable + globals().update(). This
eliminates the error-prone pattern of manually listing every global
that needs updating after lazy-install. Each platform adapter now
defines a single _import() function returning all bindings.
Also fixes: pyproject.toml [slack] extra was missing aiohttp (needed
by slack-bolt's async path).
Slack platform-blocks native slash commands inside thread replies ("/queue
is not supported in threads. Sorry!") and there is no app-side setting to
re-enable them. As a workaround, rewrite a leading '!' to '/' for any known
gateway command before downstream processing — so '!queue', '!stop',
'!model gpt-5.4' etc. work inside Slack threads (and anywhere else).
Only the first token is checked against is_gateway_known_command(), so
casual messages like '!nice work' pass through to the agent unchanged.
Downstream pipeline (MessageType.COMMAND tagging, gateway dispatcher,
thread reply routing) is unchanged.
Adds 6 tests covering rewrite, args preservation, thread routing,
casual-message passthrough, '@bot' suffix, and plain '/' still-works.
Only Discord and Telegram had lazy-install hooks in their
check_*_requirements() functions. The remaining four platforms that were
moved to lazy_deps (Slack, Matrix, DingTalk, Feishu) would just return
False immediately if their packages weren't pre-installed — no attempt
to install them at runtime.
This means even with the .venv permissions fix (#24841), these four
platforms would still fail to load in Docker (or any fresh install)
unless the user manually ran pip install.
Add the same lazy_deps.ensure() pattern to all four, matching the
existing Discord/Telegram implementation.
Default timeout raised from 60s to 300s (5 minutes) to accommodate
slower systems like Unraid NAS. Configurable via WHATSAPP_NPM_INSTALL_TIMEOUT
environment variable.
The WeCom adapter's _listen_loop() automatically reconnects when the
WebSocket drops, but it never called _mark_connected() after a successful
reconnection. This left the runtime status file (gateway_state.json) stuck
in "disconnected" even though the adapter was fully operational again.
Add self._mark_connected() right after _open_connection() succeeds so
that the dashboard and health probes report the correct state.
Tested by forcing a WebSocket close via the heartbeat loop and verifying
that the status file updated from "disconnected" back to "connected".
PR #23458 introduced _send_message_with_thread_fallback() and applied it
to all control-style sends (send_update_prompt, send_approval_request,
send_model_picker_prompt), but the slash-confirm result message in
handle_callback_query still called self._bot.send_message directly.
In supergroups with stale message_thread_id on the callback's parent
message, this raises "Message thread not found" and silently swallows
the result text. Replace with the helper so the same retry-without-
thread-id logic applies.
Closes#23064
When Hermes connects to Signal via signal-cli in daemon mode (linked
device setup), group messages sent from the user's phone were silently
dropped. The syncMessage handler only processed events where
destinationNumber equals the bot's own number (Note to Self).
Group messages from linked devices carry a groupInfo.groupId instead of a
destinationNumber. Extend the condition to also pass through sync messages
that have a groupId, so group messages are promoted to dataMessage and
reach the agent.
Salvage of #21063 — adds 'Weixin, and more' to module-level docstrings
in gateway/__init__.py, gateway/config.py, gateway/platforms/base.py
and the 'hermes gateway' subparser description.

When the user runs /stop or a session is interrupted mid-flight, the
👀 in-progress reaction lingered on the user's message indefinitely.
Without another agent run to swap it for 👍/👎, the eyes stayed there
forever — visually misleading (looks like the agent is still working).
Fix: on ProcessingOutcome.CANCELLED, call set_message_reaction with
reaction=None to clear all reactions on the message. Documented Bot API
semantics (equivalent to Bot API 10.0's deleteMessageReaction, but works
on PTB 22.6 already without the version bump).
Test changes:
- Renamed test_on_processing_complete_cancelled_keeps_existing_reaction
→ test_on_processing_complete_cancelled_clears_reaction; updated
assertion to expect set_message_reaction(reaction=None).
- Added test_on_processing_complete_cancelled_skipped_when_disabled
(TELEGRAM_REACTIONS=false short-circuits).
- Added test_clear_reactions_handles_api_error_gracefully and
test_clear_reactions_returns_false_without_bot to cover the new
_clear_reactions helper.
The clarify tool returned 'not available in this execution context' for
every gateway-mode agent because gateway/run.py never passed
clarify_callback into the AIAgent constructor. Schema actively encouraged
calling it; users never saw the question.
Changes:
- tools/clarify_gateway.py — new event-based primitive mirroring
tools/approval.py: register/wait_for_response/resolve_gateway_clarify
with per-session FIFO, threading.Event blocking with 1s heartbeat
slices (so the inactivity watchdog keeps ticking), and
clear_session for boundary cleanup.
- gateway/platforms/base.py — abstract send_clarify with a numbered-text
fallback so every adapter (Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix,
etc.) gets a working clarify out of the box. Plus an active-session
bypass: when the agent is blocked on a text-awaiting clarify, the next
non-command message routes inline to the runner's intercept instead
of being queued + triggering an interrupt. Same shape as the /approve
deadlock fix from PR #4926.
- gateway/platforms/telegram.py — concrete send_clarify renders one
inline button per choice plus '✏️ Other (type answer)'. cl: callback
handler resolves numeric choices immediately, flips to text-capture
mode for Other, with the same authorization guards as exec/slash
approvals.
- gateway/run.py — clarify_callback wired at the cached-agent per-turn
callback assignment site (only the user-facing agent path; cron and
hygiene-compress agents have no human attached). Bridges sync→async
via run_coroutine_threadsafe, blocks with the configured timeout, and
returns a '[user did not respond within Xm]' sentinel on timeout so
the agent adapts rather than pinning the running-agent guard. Text-
intercept added to _handle_message before slash-confirm intercept
(skipping slash commands). clear_session called in the run's finally
to cancel any orphan entries.
- hermes_cli/config.py — agent.clarify_timeout default 600s.
- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/telegram.md — Interactive Prompts
section.
Tests:
- tests/tools/test_clarify_gateway.py (14 tests) — full primitive
coverage: button resolve, open-ended auto-await, Other flip, timeout
None, unknown-id idempotency, clear_session cancellation, FIFO
ordering, register/unregister notify, config default.
- tests/gateway/test_telegram_clarify_buttons.py (12 tests) — render
paths (multi-choice/open-ended/long-label/HTML-escape/not-connected),
callback dispatch (numeric resolve/Other flip/already-resolved/
unauthorized/invalid-token), and base-adapter text fallback.
Out of scope: bot-to-bot, guest mode, checklists, poll media, live
photos. Closes#24191.
* feat(security): supply-chain advisory checker + lazy-install framework + tiered install fallback
Three coordinated mitigations for the Mini Shai-Hulud worm hitting
mistralai 2.4.6 on PyPI (2026-05-12) and for the next single-package
compromise that follows.
# What this PR makes true
1. Users with the poisoned mistralai 2.4.6 in their venv get a loud
detection banner with copy-pasteable remediation steps the moment
they run hermes (and on every gateway startup).
2. One quarantined / yanked PyPI package can no longer silently demote
a fresh install to 'core only' — the installer keeps every other
extra and tells the user which tier landed.
3. Future opt-in backends (Mistral, ElevenLabs, Honcho, etc.) can
lazy-install on first use under a strict allowlist, instead of
eagerly pulling everything at install time.
# Detection: hermes_cli/security_advisories.py
- ADVISORIES catalog (one entry currently: shai-hulud-2026-05 for
mistralai==2.4.6). Adding the next one is a single dataclass.
- detect_compromised() uses importlib.metadata.version() — no pip
dependency, works in uv venvs that lack pip.
- Banner cache (~/.hermes/cache/advisory_banner_seen) rate-limits
the startup banner to once per 24h per advisory.
- Acks persisted to security.acked_advisories in config.yaml; never
re-banner after ack.
- Wired into:
* hermes doctor — runs first, prints full remediation block
* hermes doctor --ack <id> — dismisses an advisory
* cli.py interactive run() and single-query branches — short
stderr banner pointing at hermes doctor
* gateway/run.py startup — operator-visible warning in gateway.log
# Lazy-install framework: tools/lazy_deps.py
- LAZY_DEPS allowlist maps namespaced feature keys (tts.elevenlabs,
memory.honcho, provider.bedrock, etc.) to pip specs.
- ensure(feature) installs missing deps in the active venv via the
uv → pip → ensurepip ladder (matches tools_config._pip_install).
- Strict spec safety regex rejects URLs, file paths, shell metas,
pip flag injection, control chars — only PyPI-by-name accepted.
- Gated on security.allow_lazy_installs (default true) plus the
HERMES_DISABLE_LAZY_INSTALLS env var for restricted/audited envs.
- Migrated three backends as proof of pattern:
* tools/tts_tool.py — _import_elevenlabs() calls ensure first
* plugins/memory/honcho/client.py — get_honcho_client lazy-installs
* tts.mistral / stt.mistral entries pre-registered for when PyPI
restores mistralai
# Installer fallback tiers
scripts/install.sh, scripts/install.ps1, setup-hermes.sh:
- Centralised _BROKEN_EXTRAS list (currently: mistral). Edit one
array when a transitive breaks; users keep every other extra.
- New 'all minus known-broken' tier between [all] and the existing
PyPI-only-extras tier. Only kicks in when [all] fails resolve.
- All three tiers explicit: every fallback announces which tier
landed and prints a re-run hint when not on Tier 1.
- install.ps1 and install.sh both regenerate their tier specs from
the same _BROKEN_EXTRAS array so updates stay in sync.
Side effect: install.ps1 Tier 2 spec previously hardcoded 'mistral'
in its extra list — bug fixed by the refactor (mistral is filtered
out).
# Config
hermes_cli/config.py — DEFAULT_CONFIG.security gains:
- acked_advisories: [] (advisory IDs the user has dismissed)
- allow_lazy_installs: True (security gate for ensure())
No config version bump needed — both keys nest under existing
security: block, and load_config's deep-merge picks up DEFAULT_CONFIG
defaults for users with older configs.
# Tests
tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py — 23 tests covering:
- detect_compromised matches/non-matches, wildcard frozenset
- ack persistence, idempotence, blank rejection, config-failure path
- banner cache rate limiting + 24h re-banner + ack-stops-banner
- short_banner_lines / full_remediation_text / render_doctor_section /
gateway_log_message
- shipped catalog well-formedness invariant
tests/tools/test_lazy_deps.py — 40 tests covering:
- spec safety: 11 safe parametrized + 18 unsafe parametrized
- allowlist: unknown-feature rejection, namespace.name shape,
every shipped spec passes the safety regex
- security gating: config flag, env var, default, fail-open
- ensure() happy/sad paths: already-satisfied, install success,
pip stderr surfaced on failure, install-succeeds-but-still-missing
- is_available, feature_install_command
Combined: 63 new tests, all passing under scripts/run_tests.sh.
# Validation
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py

* build(deps): pin every direct dep to ==X.Y.Z (no ranges)
Companion to the supply-chain advisory work: replace every >=/</~= range
in pyproject.toml's [project.dependencies] and [project.optional-dependencies]
with an exact ==X.Y.Z pin sourced from uv.lock.
Why: ranges allow PyPI to ship a fresh version of any direct dep at any
time without a code review on our side. With ranges, the malicious
mistralai 2.4.6 release would have been pulled by every fresh
'pip install -e .[all]' for the hours between upload and PyPI's
quarantine — exactly the install window we got hit on. Exact pins close
that window: the only way a new package version reaches a user is via
an intentional update on our end.
What the user-facing change is: nothing, behavior-wise. Every package
resolves to the same version it was already resolving to via uv.lock —
the pins just remove the resolver's freedom to pick a different one.
Cost: any user installing Hermes alongside another package that requires
a newer pin gets a resolver conflict. Acceptable for our isolated-venv
install path; documented in the new comment block.
Build-system requires line (setuptools>=61.0) is intentionally left
as a range — pinning the build backend would block fresh pip from
bootstrapping the build on architectures where that exact wheel isn't
available.
mistral extra (mistralai==2.3.0) is pinned but stays out of [all]
(per PR #24205). 'uv lock' regeneration will fail until PyPI restores
mistralai; lockfile regeneration is gated behind that, NOT on every PR.
LAZY_DEPS in tools/lazy_deps.py also moved to exact pins so the lazy-
install pathway can never resolve a different version than the one
declared in pyproject.toml.
Validation:
- Cross-checked all 77 pinned direct deps in pyproject.toml against
uv.lock — every pin matches the resolved version exactly.
- Cross-checked all LAZY_DEPS specs against uv.lock — same.
- 'uv pip install -e .[all] --dry-run' resolves 205 packages cleanly.
- tests/tools/test_lazy_deps.py + tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py
→ 63/63 passing (every shipped spec passes the safety regex).
- Doctor + TTS + transcription targeted suite → 146/146 passing.
* build(deps): hash-verify transitives via uv.lock; remove unresolvable [mistral] extra
You asked: 'what about the dependencies the dependencies rely on?' —
correctly noting that exact-pinning direct deps in pyproject.toml does
NOT cover the transitive graph. `pip install` and `uv pip install` both
re-resolve transitives fresh from PyPI at install time, so a compromised
transitive (e.g. `httpcore` if it got worm-poisoned tomorrow) would
still hit our users even with every direct dep exact-pinned.
# What this commit fixes
1. **Both real installer scripts now prefer `uv sync --locked` as Tier 0.**
uv.lock records SHA256 hashes for every transitive — a compromised
package with a different hash gets REJECTED. Falls through to the
existing `uv pip install` cascade if the lockfile is missing or
stale, with a loud warning that the fallback path does NOT
hash-verify transitives. Previously only `setup-hermes.sh` (the dev
path) used the lockfile; `scripts/install.sh` and `scripts/install.ps1`
(the paths fresh users actually run) skipped it.
2. **Removed the `[mistral]` extra entirely.** The `mistralai` PyPI
project is fully quarantined right now — every version returns 404,
so any pin we wrote was unresolvable, which broke `uv lock --check`
in CI. Restoration is documented in pyproject.toml as a 5-step
checklist (verify, re-add extra, re-enable in 4 modules, regenerate
lock, optionally re-add to [all]).
3. **Regenerated uv.lock.** 262 packages, mistralai/eval-type-backport/
jsonpath-python pruned. `uv lock --check` now passes.
# Defense-in-depth view
| Layer | Where | Protects against |
|----------------------------|-------------------|-------------------------------------------|
| Exact pins in pyproject | direct deps | new mistralai 2.4.6-style direct compromise |
| uv.lock + `--locked` install | transitive graph | transitive worm injection |
| Tier-0 hash-verified path | install.sh / .ps1 | actually USE the lockfile in fresh installs |
| `uv lock --check` CI gate | every PR | drift between pyproject and lockfile |
| `hermes_cli/security_advisories.py` | runtime | cleanup for users who already got hit |
The exact pinning + hash verification together close the supply-chain
gap. Without the lockfile path, exact pins alone are theater.
# Validation
- `uv lock --check` → passes (262 packages resolved, no drift).
- `bash -n` on install.sh + setup-hermes.sh → OK.
- 209/209 tests passing across new + adjacent test files
(test_lazy_deps.py, test_security_advisories.py, test_doctor.py,
test_tts_mistral.py, test_transcription_tools.py).
- TOML parse OK.
* chore: remove community announcement drafts (PR body covers it)
* build(deps): lazy-install every opt-in backend (anthropic, search, terminal, platforms, dashboard)
Extends the lazy-install framework to cover everything that's not used by
every hermes session. Base install drops from ~60 packages to 45.
Moved out of core dependencies = []:
- anthropic (only when provider=anthropic native, not via aggregators)
- exa-py, firecrawl-py, parallel-web (search backends; only when picked)
- fal-client (image gen; only when picked)
- edge-tts (default TTS but still optional)
New extras in pyproject.toml: [anthropic] [exa] [firecrawl] [parallel-web]
[fal] [edge-tts]. All added to [all].
New LAZY_DEPS entries: provider.anthropic, search.{exa,firecrawl,parallel},
tts.edge, image.fal, memory.hindsight, platform.{telegram,discord,matrix},
terminal.{modal,daytona,vercel}, tool.dashboard.
Each import site now calls ensure() before importing the SDK. Where the
module had a top-level try/except (telegram, discord, fastapi), the
graceful-fallback pattern was extended to lazy-install on first
check_*_requirements() call and re-bind module globals.
Updated test_windows_native_support.py tzdata check from snapshot
(>=2023.3 literal) to invariant (any version + win32 marker).
Validation:
- Base install: 45 packages (was ~60); 6 newly-extracted packages absent
- uv lock --check: passes (262 packages, no drift)
- 209/209 lazy_deps + advisory + doctor + tts/transcription tests passing
- py_compile clean on all 12 modified modules
Replace with for all literal-tuple
membership tests. Set lookup is O(1) vs O(n) for tuple — consistent
micro-optimization across the codebase.
608 instances fixed via `ruff --fix --unsafe-fixes`, 0 remaining.
133 files, +626/-626 (net zero).
When the Discord typing API call fails (rate limit, network error, 403),
_typing_loop returns early but the stale task remains in _typing_tasks.
Subsequent send_typing calls see the stale entry and skip, leaving no
typing indicator for the rest of the agent invocation.
Add finally block to _typing_loop to always remove the task from
_typing_tasks on exit, whether from cancellation, error, or normal
completion. This allows send_typing to create a fresh task.
3 new tests in test_discord_send.py:
- Task removed after API error
- Typing restartable after failure
- stop_typing cleans up

intent forward.
Tuning summary
==============
Text-batch ingress (gateway/platforms/telegram.py):
- HERMES_TELEGRAM_TEXT_BATCH_DELAY_SECONDS default 0.6 -> 0.3
- HERMES_TELEGRAM_TEXT_BATCH_SPLIT_DELAY_SECONDS default 2.0 -> 1.0
- Adaptive fast-path tiers in _flush_text_batch:
total <= 320 cp -> min(cap, 0.18)
total <= 1024 cp -> min(cap, 0.24)
else -> cap
A single short reply now reaches the agent in ~180ms instead of
600ms. Tier constants compose with the configured cap via min()
so an operator who tightens HERMES_TELEGRAM_TEXT_BATCH_DELAY_SECONDS
below 0.18 still wins on every tier.
- _env_float_clamped helper replaces bare float(os.getenv()).
Rejects NaN / Inf, applies optional min/max bounds. Used for
text-batch + media-batch knobs. Prevents asyncio.sleep(NaN)
crashes when an operator typos an env var.
Stream cadence (gateway/config.py + stream_consumer.py):
- StreamingConfig.edit_interval default 1.0s -> 0.8s
- StreamingConfig.buffer_threshold default 40 -> 24 chars
- DEFAULT_STREAMING_EDIT_INTERVAL / BUFFER_THRESHOLD / CURSOR are now
a single source of truth. StreamConsumerConfig imports them
instead of duplicating the literals; the prior dual-source drift
is fixed.
Tool progress (gateway/display_config.py):
- Telegram default tool_progress 'all' -> 'new'. Inside
Telegram's ~1 edit/s flood envelope the 'all' default would
accumulate edit pressure on busy chats; 'new' shows only the
leading bubble per tool batch and feels less spammy.
- Slack tier_low override (tool_progress='off') is preserved.
Composition with native draft streaming (#23512)
================================================
The mid-stream cadence (edit_interval, buffer_threshold) gates BOTH
the draft path (send_draft) and the edit path (edit_message), so the
tighter cadence helps native draft as much as edit-based. The
text-batch fast-path applies before the consumer starts, so it speeds
up the first-token latency on every transport. No conflict.
Stale-base avoidance
====================
Re-authored from scratch rather than cherry-picked. Dropped from the
original branch:
- Unrelated d2f043f9c 'fix(anthropic): preserve third-party thinking
continuity' commit
- boot_md.py builtin gateway hook (unrelated)
- Reverted Slack tool_progress='off' (#14663) restoration
- Reverted Platform plugin discovery, MSGRAPH_WEBHOOK, YUANBAO
members deletion
- 2300+ lines of run.py base-skew noise
Tests
=====
New tests/gateway/test_telegram_text_batch_perf.py:
- 7 tests for _env_float_clamped (NaN, Inf, garbage, bounds).
- 4 tests for the adaptive-tier composition rules.
Updated tests/gateway/test_display_config.py:
- test_platform_default_when_no_user_config: 'all' -> 'new' for
Telegram, with comment.
- test_high_tier_platforms: split into Telegram-overrides-to-new
and Discord-stays-all assertions.
Closes#10388.

When edit_message_text exceeded Telegram's 4096 UTF-16 codepoint limit,
the adapter caught the BadRequest, best-effort truncated the content
with '…', and returned SendResult(success=True). The stream consumer
believed the full edit was delivered and never recovered, silently
dropping everything past the truncation boundary on long replies.
Returning failure isn't safe either — the consumer's existing fallback
path can race against the next streaming tick, producing duplicate
sends or gaps. Instead, the adapter now SPLITS the oversized payload
across the existing message + new continuation messages, so the user
always gets the full reply in correct order.
How it works:
1. Pre-flight: if utf16_len(content) already exceeds MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH,
call the new _edit_overflow_split helper directly — saves a doomed
round-trip + a Telegram error.
2. Reactive: if Telegram still returns 'message_too_long' after the
pre-flight (e.g. parse_mode formatting inflated the payload past
the limit via MarkdownV2 escapes), the same helper handles it.
3. _edit_overflow_split:
- Splits via truncate_message(len_fn=utf16_len) — same chunking the
non-streaming send() path uses; chunks get '(1/N)' suffixes.
- Edits the original message_id with chunk 1 (with parse_mode +
plain-fallback when finalize=True, mirroring the main edit path).
- Sends each remaining chunk via self._bot.send_message threaded as
a reply to the previous chunk so the user sees them as a
contiguous block. MarkdownV2-with-plain-fallback per chunk on
finalize.
- Returns SendResult(success=True, message_id=<last_chunk_id>,
continuation_message_ids=(<chunk2_id>, <chunk3_id>, ...)) so the
stream consumer can keep editing the most recent visible message
and the gateway has full visibility into every message id.
SendResult contract extension:
Added optional continuation_message_ids: tuple = () field. When
empty (the common case), behavior is unchanged. When populated, the
caller knows the adapter delivered across multiple platform messages.
Stream consumer integration:
GatewayStreamConsumer._send_or_edit advances _message_id to the
last-continuation id when it sees continuation_message_ids on a
successful edit result, resets _last_sent_text (the new visible
message holds only the final chunk's text), and fires
on_new_message so tool-progress bubbles linearize below the new
continuation rather than the original. Mirrors the openclaw #32535
inter-tool-leak guard.
Composes with what just landed:
- PR #23455 (UTF-16 length-aware splitting in stream consumer)
prevents most overflows upstream by measuring text in UTF-16
codeunits before deciding to split. This PR is the safety net at
the adapter boundary.
- PR #23512 (native draft streaming, default for DM Telegram) routes
DM streaming through send_draft, which has its own contract
unaffected by this change. So this fix narrows in scope to the
edit-based path: groups, supergroups, forum topics, every
non-Telegram platform, and the per-response fallback after a
draft failure.
Salvage notes:
- Cherry-picked from PR #19537 by @kjames2001. Original PR returned
failure on overflow; this evolves to split-and-deliver so users
never lose content and the consumer state stays consistent.
- Dropped an unrelated model-picker hunk (line 2114-2117) that
silently killed the 'X more available — type /model <name>
directly' hint by hardcoding total=len(models). Not in scope.
- Restored the timeout-aware retryable=not is_timeout signal in
send()'s fallthrough catch block.
Closes#19537.
Adds Telegram's native streaming-draft API as a streaming transport so DM
replies render with smooth animated previews as tokens arrive, dropping
the per-edit jitter of the legacy editMessageText polling path.
Adapter contract (gateway/platforms/base.py):
- supports_draft_streaming(chat_type, metadata) -> bool. Default False.
Telegram returns True only for DMs and only when the bound python-
telegram-bot version exposes Bot.send_message_draft (PTB 22.6+).
- send_draft(chat_id, draft_id, content, metadata) -> SendResult.
Default raises NotImplementedError. Telegram delegates to PTB's
send_message_draft. Drafts have no message_id (Bot API contract);
SendResult.message_id is None on success.
Telegram adapter (gateway/platforms/telegram.py):
- supports_draft_streaming gates on chat_type='dm' AND PTB capability.
- send_draft trims to MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH using utf16_len, threads
message_thread_id through metadata, and routes failures back as
SendResult(success=False, error=...) so the consumer can fall back.
Stream consumer (gateway/stream_consumer.py):
- StreamConsumerConfig gains transport ('auto'|'draft'|'edit'|'off')
and chat_type fields.
- run() resolves _use_draft_streaming once via a probe at the top of
the run, allocating a fresh class-wide draft_id_counter so each
response animates as its own preview (no animation collision across
consecutive responses to the same chat).
- _send_or_edit gains a pre-edit branch: when drafts are active AND
not finalizing AND no edit-path message_id is established, the
frame routes through _send_draft_frame instead of edit_message.
Drafts intentionally do NOT set _already_sent so the gateway's
final sendMessage path still fires — drafts have no message_id and
the user needs a real message in their chat history.
- _reset_segment_state bumps the draft_id when the consumer is in
draft mode so each text block after a tool boundary animates as a
fresh preview below the tool-progress bubble (avoids the inter-
tool-call leak openclaw documented in their #32535).
- Per-response fallback: any send_draft failure (transient network,
server reject, capability gap) flips _use_draft_streaming to False
for the rest of the run, gracefully returning to the edit path.
Gateway config (gateway/config.py):
- StreamingConfig.transport default flips edit -> auto. The auto path
is identical to edit on every chat type that doesn't currently
support drafts (groups, supergroups, forum topics, every non-
Telegram platform), so the default is backwards-compatible for
non-DM users.
Lifecycle model (Telegram Bot API 9.5):
1. sendMessageDraft(chat_id, draft_id, text='') opens the bubble.
2. Repeated sendMessageDraft calls with the SAME draft_id animate
the preview as text grows.
3. Drafts have no message_id and cannot be edited or deleted.
4. When the response finishes the gateway's normal sendMessage path
delivers the final answer; the draft preview clears naturally on
the client and the user sees a real message in their history.
Inspired by PR #3412 by @NivOO5. Re-authored against current main
(stream_consumer.py is now ~4x larger than at #3412's branch base, with
new _NEW_SEGMENT/_COMMENTARY/finalize/_on_new_message machinery the
original PR didn't account for) but the design call (DM-only, edit-
fallback, transport=auto|draft|edit|off) is faithful to the original
proposal, with two improvements baked in:
1. Per-response draft_id (monotonic counter, not a time hash) — no
collision risk across consecutive responses on the same chat.
2. Tool-boundary draft_id bump — prevents the inter-tool-call leak
openclaw hit during their rollout (their #32535).
Closes#21439 (duplicate feature request).
Cherry-picked from PR #10371. Two-layer defense for the spurious-thread_id
issue (#3206):
1. _build_message_event filters DM thread_ids: only preserve thread_id
for real topic messages (is_topic_message=True). Telegram puts
message_thread_id on every DM that is a reply, but reply-chain ids
route to nonexistent threads on send.
2. _send_message_with_thread_fallback helper: control sends
(send_update_prompt, send_exec_approval / send_slash_confirm,
send_model_picker) retry once without message_thread_id when
Telegram returns BadRequest 'Message thread not found'. Mirrors
the pattern PR #3390 added for the streaming send path.
Salvage notes:
- Conflict 1 (line ~4099): merged the contributor's DM is_topic_message
filter with the existing forum General-topic default from #22423,
preserving both behaviors.
- Conflict 2 (line ~1664 / 1690): kept main's delete_message (PR #23416)
alongside the new helper. Tightened the helper's exception catch
from bare 'Exception' to use the existing _is_bad_request_error +
_is_thread_not_found_error helpers (line 484-496) for consistency
with the streaming send path.
- Widened the fix to send_update_prompt (was bare self._bot.send_message,
same bug class).
Authored by rahimsais via PR #10371 (re-attributed from donrhmexe@
local commit author).
The stream consumer measured message length using Python's len() (Unicode
code points), but Telegram's actual limit is in UTF-16 code units. This
caused messages with supplementary characters (emoji, CJK, etc.) to exceed
Telegram's 4096-character limit, resulting in truncated messages with
formatting artifacts.
Changes:
- Add message_len_fn property to BasePlatformAdapter (defaults to len)
- Override in TelegramAdapter to return utf16_len
- Stream consumer uses adapter.message_len_fn for:
- safe_limit calculation
- overflow detection
- truncate_message calls
- split point calculation (via _custom_unit_to_cp)
- fallback final send chunking
Fixes truncated messages with black square artifacts on Telegram when
the model generates responses containing multi-byte Unicode characters.
Cherry-picked from PR #13077 commits:
- 5500c7d8 fix(gateway): stream consumer first message drops thread context
- e84403b9 test(gateway): add regression tests for stream consumer thread routing
Fixes: Streaming first message drops thread/topic context in Feishu group
topics, Slack threads, Telegram forum topics. Adds initial_reply_to_id
ctor arg to GatewayStreamConsumer, threaded through _send_or_edit and
_send_new_chunk. Also fixes Feishu _send_raw_message fallback path
(reply -> create) to use receive_id_type='thread_id' so the new message
lands in the correct topic instead of the main channel.
Authored by hrygo via PR #13077 (re-attributed from the bot-authored
salvage commit on the original branch).
Builds on @kshitijk4poor's CLI handoff stub. The original PR's flow
deferred everything to whenever a real user happened to message the
target platform; this rewrites it so the gateway picks up handoffs
immediately and the destination chat just starts working.
State machine on sessions table replaces the boolean flag:
None -> 'pending' -> 'running' -> ('completed' | 'failed')
plus handoff_error for failure reasons. CLI request_handoff /
get_handoff_state / list_pending_handoffs / claim_handoff /
complete_handoff / fail_handoff helpers wrap the transitions.
CLI side (cli.py): /handoff <platform> validates the platform's home
channel via load_gateway_config, refuses if the agent is mid-turn,
flips the row to 'pending', and poll-blocks (60s) on terminal state.
On 'completed' it prints the /resume hint and exits the CLI like
/quit. On 'failed' or timeout it surfaces the reason and the CLI
session stays intact.
Gateway side (gateway/run.py): new _handoff_watcher background task
scans state.db every 2s, atomically claims pending rows, and runs
_process_handoff for each. _process_handoff:
1. Resolves the platform's home channel.
2. Asks the adapter for a fresh thread via the new
create_handoff_thread(parent_chat_id, name) capability so the
handed-off conversation gets its own scrollback. Adapters that
don't support threads (or fail) return None and the watcher
falls back to the home channel directly.
3. Constructs a SessionSource keyed as 'thread' when a thread was
created, 'dm' otherwise, then session_store.switch_session
re-binds the destination key to the CLI session_id. The full
role-aware transcript replays via load_transcript on the next
turn (no flat-text injection into context_prompt).
4. Forges a synthetic MessageEvent(internal=True) with the handoff
notice and dispatches through _handle_message; the agent runs
against the loaded transcript and adapter.send delivers the
reply.
5. Marks the row 'completed' on success, 'failed' (+error) on any
exception.
Adapter capability (gateway/platforms/base.py): create_handoff_thread
default returns None. Three overrides:
- Telegram (gateway/platforms/telegram.py): wraps _create_dm_topic
so DM topics (Bot API 9.4+) and forum supergroups both work.
- Discord (gateway/platforms/discord.py): parent.create_thread on
text channels with a seed-message + message.create_thread
fallback for permission edge cases. Skips DMs and other
non-thread-capable parents.
- Slack (gateway/platforms/slack.py): posts a seed message and
returns its ts as the thread anchor — Slack threads are
message-anchored.
In thread mode, build_session_key keys the destination without
user_id (thread_sessions_per_user defaults to False) so the synthetic
turn and any later real-user message in the thread share the same
session_key — seamless takeover without race.
CommandDef stays cli_only=True (handoff is initiated from the CLI;
gateway exposes /resume for the reverse direction).
Removed the original PR's _handle_message_with_agent handoff hook
(transcript-as-text injection into context_prompt) and the
send_message_tool notification — both replaced by the watcher path.
Tests rewritten around the new state machine: 13/13 pass.
E2E-validated thread + no-thread paths and the failure path against
real worktree imports with mocked adapters.
* feat(gateway): add LINE Messaging API platform plugin
Adds LINE as a bundled platform plugin under `plugins/platforms/line/`,
synthesized from the strongest pieces of seven open community PRs. The
adapter requires zero core edits — `Platform("line")` is auto-discovered
via the bundled-plugin scan in `gateway/config.py`, and all hooks
(setup, env-enablement, cron delivery, standalone send) are wired
through `register_platform()` kwargs the way IRC and Teams do it.
Highlights merged into one plugin:
- **Reply token preferred, Push fallback.** Try the free reply token
first (single-use, ~60s TTL); fall back to metered Push when the
token is absent, expired, or rejected. (PR #21023)
- **Slow-LLM Template Buttons postback.** When the LLM is still running
past `LINE_SLOW_RESPONSE_THRESHOLD` (default 45s), the adapter burns
the original reply token to send a "Get answer" button bubble. The
user taps it to fetch the cached answer via a fresh reply token —
also free. State machine: PENDING → READY → DELIVERED, ERROR for
cancelled runs (orphan resolves to `LINE_INTERRUPTED_TEXT` after
/stop). Set threshold to 0 to disable. (PR #18153)
- **Three-allowlist gating** — separate user / group / room allowlists
with `LINE_ALLOW_ALL_USERS=true` dev-only escape hatch. (PR #18153)
- **Markdown URL preservation.** Strip bold/italic/code-fence/heading
markers (LINE renders them literally) but keep `[label](url)` →
`label (url)` so URLs stay tappable. (PR #18153)
- **System-message bypass** for `⚡ Interrupting`, `⏳ Queued`, etc. —
busy-acks reach the user as visible bubbles instead of being
swallowed into the postback cache. (PR #18153)
- **Media via public HTTPS URLs.** LINE doesn't accept binary uploads;
images/audio/video must be HTTPS-reachable. The adapter serves
registered tempfiles under `/line/media/<token>/<filename>` from the
same aiohttp app. Allowed-roots traversal guard covers
`tempfile.gettempdir()`, `/tmp` (→ `/private/tmp` on macOS), and
`HERMES_HOME`. `LINE_PUBLIC_URL` overrides URL construction for
setups behind tunnels/proxies. (PR #8398)
- **5-message-per-call batching.** LINE rejects >5 messages per
Reply/Push; smart-chunker caps text at 4500 chars per bubble.
- **Inbound dedup** via `webhookEventId` LRU. (PR #21023)
- **Self-message filter** via `/v2/bot/info` userId lookup. (PR #21023)
- **Loading-animation indicator** wired to LINE's `chat/loading/start`
endpoint, DM-only (LINE rejects it for groups/rooms). (PR #21023)
- **Out-of-process cron delivery** via `_standalone_send`, so
`deliver: line` cron jobs work even when cron runs detached from
the gateway.
- **Webhook hardening** — 1 MiB body cap, constant-time HMAC-SHA256
signature verification, dedup, scoped lock so two profiles can't
bind the same channel.

Closes the seven open LINE PRs (#18153, #16832, #6676, #21023, #14942,

* docs(platforms): document platform-specific slow-LLM UX pattern
Add a 'Platform-Specific Slow-LLM UX' section to the platform-adapter
developer guide covering the _keep_typing override pattern that LINE
uses for its Template Buttons postback flow.
Three subsections:
- Pattern: subclass _keep_typing to layer mid-flight UX (with code)
- Pattern: subclass send to route through a cache instead of sending
- When this pattern is appropriate (vs. always-Push fallback)
Plus a short pointer in gateway/platforms/ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md so
tree-readers find the prose walkthrough on the docsite.
Filed because the LINE plugin (PR #23197) was the first bundled
adapter to need this pattern — every prior plugin (irc, teams,
google_chat) handles slow responses with the default typing-loop and
a regular send_text. Documenting now while the rationale is fresh.

Per-tool-call push notifications on Telegram are noisy enough that
'all' is the wrong default — long agent runs spam the user's notification
shade with status messages they didn't ask to be pinged about. Final
responses, approval prompts, and slash confirmations still notify;
intermediate progress, streaming, and tool-progress messages now
deliver silently via disable_notification.
Users who want the legacy behavior can opt back in with:
display:
platforms:
telegram:
notifications: all
or HERMES_TELEGRAM_NOTIFICATIONS=all.
Add a configurable notifications mode for the Telegram platform adapter
that controls which messages trigger push notifications.
- display.platforms.telegram.notifications: "all" (default) | "important"
- HERMES_TELEGRAM_NOTIFICATIONS env var override
- In "important" mode, all sends use disable_notification=True except:
- Approvals (send_exec_approval) and slash confirmations
- Final response messages (metadata["notify"]=True)
- Zero overhead in default "all" mode
- Zero impact on non-Telegram platforms
Closes#22771
163/NetEase IMAP servers reject every UID SEARCH/FETCH with `BYE Unsafe
Login` unless the client first identifies itself via the RFC 2971 ID
command after LOGIN. Without this, the email gateway logs in OK but
then fails on the very first poll and the connection is torn down.
Send the ID payload best-effort after both `imap.login()` sites
(`EmailAdapter.connect` and `_fetch_new_messages`). Failures are
swallowed at debug level so non-supporting IMAP servers (Gmail,
Outlook, Fastmail, Yahoo, etc.) keep working unchanged.
Closes#22271
`gateway/platforms/__init__.py` eagerly imported `QQAdapter` and
`YuanbaoAdapter` at package-init time, which transitively pulled in
qqbot's chunked-upload + keyboards + onboard machinery and yuanbao's
websocket stack. About 84 ms wall and 23 MB RSS on every fresh process
that touched anything under `gateway.platforms` — including `hermes
chat` (via run_agent → cli's plugin discovery transitive import).
Nothing in the codebase actually consumes these symbols from the
package root; every real call site uses the long-form path
(`from gateway.platforms.qqbot import QQAdapter`,
`from gateway.platforms.yuanbao import YuanbaoAdapter` in gateway/run.py).
The eager re-export was only there for convenience.
Replace with a PEP 562 module-level `__getattr__` that lazily imports
on first attribute access. Public API stays identical:
`from gateway.platforms import QQAdapter` keeps working but only
pays the import cost when the symbol is actually touched. `__dir__`
preserves help() / autocomplete behavior.
Measured impact (7-run medians, 9950X3D):
import gateway.platforms 127 → 43 ms (-66%)
50 → 27 MB (-46%)
import gateway.platforms.base 127 → 44 ms (-65%)
50 → 27 MB (-46%)
import cli (full chat path) 745 → 710 ms ( -5%)
96 → 90 MB ( -6%)
hermes chat -q (cold) -5 MB
The per-import win is biggest because qqbot/yuanbao deps don't overlap
with anything on the gateway-platforms path — full `import cli`
already loads aiohttp/websockets transitively from other places, so
the marginal CLI win is smaller than the isolated import benchmark.
The `gateway.platforms.base` win is what matters most for long-lived
gateway processes: every gateway boot saves 23 MB resident.
All 144 qqbot tests pass; broader gateway suite (5132 tests) passes
modulo 4 pre-existing flakes also failing on main without this change.
Non-streaming /v1/chat/completions wrapped any AIAgent result \u2014 including
partial/failed runs \u2014 as a successful 200 with finish_reason='stop' and
the internal failure string substituted into message.content. API
clients had no way to distinguish 'agent answered: X' from
'agent crashed and the X you see is its error message'.
After the fix:
- completed: True \u2192 200 finish_reason='stop' (unchanged)
- partial + truncated text \u2192 200 finish_reason='length' + hermes extras
- partial + no text / failed \u2192 502 OpenAI error envelope (SDKs raise)
- other failures \u2192 200 finish_reason='error' + hermes extras
Adds X-Hermes-Completed / X-Hermes-Partial / X-Hermes-Error headers
plus a 'hermes' extras object on partial responses for clients that
want the full picture.
Closes#22496.
- Restore allowed_chats gate before thread_id check so ignored_threads
applies universally (even to guest mentions).
- Compute _message_mentions_bot once in _should_process_message to
eliminate redundant second entity scan when guest_mode=true and the
message does not mention the bot.
- Remove redundant _is_group_chat from _is_guest_mention (caller already
verified the message is a group chat).
- Update _telegram_allowed_chats docstring to note guest_mode exception.
- Add test coverage: bot_command entity, text_mention entity,
caption_entities, and ignored_threads + guest_mode interaction.
- Add nik1t7n to AUTHOR_MAP.
When a Telegram user replies using the native quote feature to select
only part of a prior message, _build_message_event was injecting the
ENTIRE replied-to message into reply_to_text via
message.reply_to_message.text/caption. python-telegram-bot exposes
the user-selected substring as message.quote (TextQuote.text); we now
prefer that and fall back to the full replied-to text only when no
native quote is present.
The agent-visible "[Replying to: \"...\"]" prefix can otherwise expand
the user's narrow quote into the full prior message, causing the agent
to act on unrelated actionable-looking text the user did not select
(e.g. multi-item briefings where the user quotes one bullet but the
prefix injects every bullet). Falls back cleanly when message.quote
is absent (PTB <21 or replies that don't quote a substring).
Fixes#22619
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
When a GFM table has a row-label column (first column with no header),
_render_table_block_for_telegram incorrectly included the row-label cell
in the bullet zip alongside the data cells, producing a spurious bullet
like '• 維度: 核心賣點' before the real data rows.
Detect the row-label column by comparing the first data row cell count
against the header count (has_row_label_col = len(first_data_row) ==
len(headers) + 1). When present, use cells[0] as the heading and
zip headers against cells[1:] only, correctly excluding the row-label
from the bullet list.
Fixes#22604
Plugin platforms (IRC, Teams, Google Chat) currently fail with
`No live adapter for platform '<name>'` when a `deliver=<plugin>` cron
job runs in a separate process from the gateway, even though the
platforms are eligible cron targets via `cron_deliver_env_var` (added
in #21306). Built-in platforms (Telegram, Discord, Slack, etc.) use
direct REST helpers in `tools/send_message_tool.py` so cron can deliver
without holding the gateway in the same process; plugin platforms
historically depended on `_gateway_runner_ref()` which returns `None`
out of process.
This change adds an optional `standalone_sender_fn` field to
`PlatformEntry` so plugins can register an ephemeral send path that
opens its own connection, sends, and closes without needing the live
adapter. The dispatch site in `_send_via_adapter` falls through to the
hook when the gateway runner is unavailable, with a descriptive error
when neither path applies. The hook is optional, so existing plugins
are unaffected.
Reference migrations land in the same change for IRC, Teams, and
Google Chat, exercising the hook across stdlib (asyncio + IRC protocol),
Bot Framework OAuth client_credentials, and Google service-account
flows respectively.
Security hardening on the new code paths:
* IRC: control-character stripping on chat_id and message body to
block CRLF command injection; bounded nick-collision retries; JOIN
before PRIVMSG so channels with the default `+n` mode accept the
delivery.
* Teams: TEAMS_SERVICE_URL validated against an allowlist of known
Bot Framework hosts (`smba.trafficmanager.net`,
`smba.infra.gov.teams.microsoft.us`) to block SSRF; chat_id and
tenant_id constrained to the documented Bot Framework character set;
per-request timeouts so a slow STS endpoint cannot starve the
activity POST.
* Google Chat: chat_id and thread_id validated against strict
resource-name regexes; service-account refresh wrapped in
`asyncio.wait_for` so a hung token endpoint cannot stall the
scheduler.
Test coverage: 20 new tests covering happy path, missing-config errors,
network failure modes, and each defensive validation. Existing tests
unchanged. `bash scripts/run_tests.sh tests/tools/test_send_message_tool.py
tests/gateway/test_irc_adapter.py tests/gateway/test_teams.py
tests/gateway/test_google_chat.py` reports 341 passed, 0 regressions.
Documentation: new "Out-of-process cron delivery" section in
website/docs/developer-guide/adding-platform-adapters.md and an entry
in gateway/platforms/ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md naming the hook.
SQLite's WAL mode requires shared-memory (mmap) coordination and fcntl
byte-range locks that don't reliably work on network filesystems. Upstream
documents this explicitly:
https://www.sqlite.org/wal.html#sometimes_queries_return_sqlite_busy_in_wal_mode
On NFS / SMB / some FUSE mounts / WSL1, 'PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL' raises
'sqlite3.OperationalError: locking protocol' (SQLITE_PROTOCOL). Before
this change, every feature backed by state.db or kanban.db broke silently:
- /resume, /title, /history, /branch returned 'Session database not
available.' with no cause
- gateway logged the init failure at DEBUG (invisible in errors.log)
- kanban dispatcher crashed every 60s, driving the known migration race
(duplicate column name: consecutive_failures, #21708 / #21374)
Changes:
- hermes_state.apply_wal_with_fallback(): shared helper that tries WAL
and falls back to DELETE on SQLITE_PROTOCOL-style errors with one
WARNING explaining why
- hermes_state.get_last_init_error() + format_session_db_unavailable():
capture the init failure cause and surface it in user-facing strings
(with an NFS/SMB pointer for 'locking protocol')
- hermes_cli/kanban_db.connect(): use the shared helper
- gateway/run.py: bump SessionDB init failure log DEBUG -> WARNING
(matches cli.py's existing correct behavior)
- cli.py (4 sites) + gateway/run.py (5 sites): replace bare
'Session database not available.' with format_session_db_unavailable()
Tests: 12 new tests in tests/test_hermes_state_wal_fallback.py + 1 new
test in tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_db.py. Existing suites (state,
kanban, gateway, cli) remain green for all tests unrelated to pre-existing
failures on main.
Evidence: real-world user on NFSv3 mount (172.26.224.200:d2dfac12/home,
local_lock=none) reporting 'Session database not available.' on /resume;
'locking protocol' appears in 4 distinct log entries across backup,
kanban, TUI, and CLI paths in the same session.
closes#22032
The send path uses Hermes' reply-anchor fallback for DM topic lanes
(message_thread_id + reply_to_message_id), but send_chat_action only
accepts message_thread_id — Telegram's Bot API 10.0 rejects it for
these lanes. Without this short-circuit, every typing tick (~every 2s
during agent runs) makes a doomed API call that gets logged as a
'thread not found' debug warning. Skip the call entirely when the
metadata indicates a DM topic reply-fallback lane; the user-visible
behavior is unchanged (no typing indicator either way for these
lanes), but the logs stay clean.
Identified during salvage review of #22053.
## Why
Hermes supports Linux, macOS, and native Windows, but the codebase grew up
POSIX-first and has accumulated patterns that silently break (or worse,
silently kill!) on Windows:
- `os.kill(pid, 0)` as a liveness probe — on Windows this maps to
CTRL_C_EVENT and broadcasts Ctrl+C to the target's entire console
process group (bpo-14484, open since 2012).
- `os.killpg` — doesn't exist on Windows at all (AttributeError).
- `os.setsid` / `os.getuid` / `os.geteuid` — same.
- `signal.SIGKILL` / `signal.SIGHUP` / `signal.SIGUSR1` — module-attr
errors at runtime on Windows.
- `open(path)` / `open(path, "r")` without explicit encoding= — inherits
the platform default, which is cp1252/mbcs on Windows (UTF-8 on POSIX),
causing mojibake round-tripping between hosts.
- `wmic` — removed from Windows 10 21H1+.
This commit does three things:
1. Makes `psutil` a core dependency and migrates critical callsites to it.
2. Adds a grep-based CI gate (`scripts/check-windows-footguns.py`) that
blocks new instances of any of the above patterns.
3. Fixes every existing instance in the codebase so the baseline is clean.
## What changed
### 1. psutil as a core dependency (pyproject.toml)
Added `psutil>=5.9.0,<8` to core deps. psutil is the canonical
cross-platform answer for "is this PID alive" and "kill this process
tree" — its `pid_exists()` uses `OpenProcess + GetExitCodeProcess` on
Windows (NOT a signal call), and its `Process.children(recursive=True)`
+ `.kill()` combo replaces `os.killpg()` portably.
### 2. `gateway/status.py::_pid_exists`
Rewrote to call `psutil.pid_exists()` first, falling back to the
hand-rolled ctypes `OpenProcess + WaitForSingleObject` dance on Windows
(and `os.kill(pid, 0)` on POSIX) only if psutil is somehow missing —
e.g. during the scaffold phase of a fresh install before pip finishes.
### 3. `os.killpg` migration to psutil (7 callsites, 5 files)
- `tools/code_execution_tool.py`
- `tools/process_registry.py`
- `tools/tts_tool.py`
- `tools/environments/local.py` (3 sites kept as-is, suppressed with
`# windows-footgun: ok` — the pgid semantics psutil can't replicate,
and the calls are already Windows-guarded at the outer branch)
- `gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py`
### 4. `scripts/check-windows-footguns.py` (NEW, 500 lines)
Grep-based checker with 11 rules covering every Windows cross-platform
footgun we've hit so far:
1. `os.kill(pid, 0)` — the silent killer
2. `os.setsid` without guard
3. `os.killpg` (recommends psutil)
4. `os.getuid` / `os.geteuid` / `os.getgid`
5. `os.fork`
6. `signal.SIGKILL`
7. `signal.SIGHUP/SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2/SIGALRM/SIGCHLD/SIGPIPE/SIGQUIT`
8. `subprocess` shebang script invocation
9. `wmic` without `shutil.which` guard
10. Hardcoded `~/Desktop` (OneDrive trap)
11. `asyncio.add_signal_handler` without try/except
12. `open()` without `encoding=` on text mode
Features:
- Triple-quoted-docstring aware (won't flag prose inside docstrings)
- Trailing-comment aware (won't flag mentions in `# os.kill(pid, 0)` comments)
- Guard-hint aware (skips lines with `hasattr(os, ...)`,
`shutil.which(...)`, `if platform.system() != 'Windows'`, etc.)
- Inline suppression with `# windows-footgun: ok — <reason>`
- `--list` to print all rules with fixes
- `--all` / `--diff <ref>` / staged-files (default) modes
- Scans 380 files in under 2 seconds
### 5. CI integration
A GitHub Actions workflow that runs the checker on every PR and push is
staged at `/tmp/hermes-stash/windows-footguns.yml` — not included in this
commit because the GH token on the push machine lacks `workflow` scope.
A maintainer with `workflow` permissions should add it as
`.github/workflows/windows-footguns.yml` in a follow-up. Content:
```yaml
name: Windows footgun check
on:
push:
branches: [main]
pull_request:
branches: [main]
jobs:
check:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/setup-python@v5
with: {python-version: "3.11"}
- run: python scripts/check-windows-footguns.py --all
```
### 6. CONTRIBUTING.md — "Cross-Platform Compatibility" expansion
Expanded from 5 to 16 rules, each with message, example, and fix.
Recommends psutil as the preferred API for PID / process-tree operations.
### 7. Baseline cleanup (91 → 0 findings)
- 14 `open()` sites → added `encoding='utf-8'` (internal logs/caches) or
`encoding='utf-8-sig'` (user-editable files that Notepad may BOM)
- 23 POSIX-only callsites in systemd helpers, pty_bridge, and plugin
tool subprocess management → annotated with
`# windows-footgun: ok — <reason>`
- 7 `os.killpg` sites → migrated to psutil (see §3 above)
## Verification
```
$ python scripts/check-windows-footguns.py --all
✓ No Windows footguns found (380 file(s) scanned).
$ python -c "from gateway.status import _pid_exists; import os
> print('self:', _pid_exists(os.getpid())); print('bogus:', _pid_exists(999999))"
self: True
bogus: False
```
Proof-of-repro that `os.kill(pid, 0)` was actually killing processes
before this fix — see commit `1cbe39914` and bpo-14484. This commit
removes the last hand-rolled ctypes path from the hot liveness-check
path and defers to the best-maintained cross-platform answer.
On Windows, Python's ``os.kill(pid, 0)`` is NOT a no-op. CPython's
implementation (``Modules/posixmodule.c::os_kill_impl``) treats sig=0
as ``CTRL_C_EVENT`` because the two integer values collide at the C
layer, and routes it through ``GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent(0, pid)`` —
which sends a Ctrl+C to the ENTIRE console process group containing
the target PID, not just the PID itself. Any caller that wanted to
check "is PID X alive" via the classic POSIX ``os.kill(pid, 0)``
idiom was silently killing that process (and often unrelated
processes in the same console group) on Windows. Long-standing
Python Windows quirk; see bpo-14484 (open since 2012).
This manifested in Hermes as: every ``hermes gateway status``
invocation would read the gateway's PID from the PID file, call
``os.kill(pid, 0)`` via ``gateway.status.get_running_pid()`` as a
"liveness check", and instantly terminate the gateway it was trying
to report on. No shutdown log, no traceback, no atexit hook fire,
no exit-diag entry — just silent termination of the detached pythonw
process. "Bot answered one message then stopped typing" was the
characteristic end-user symptom because `os.kill(pid, 0)` fires
mid-response-send and kills the gateway between logs.
Reproduction (verified in this branch before the fix):
$ hermes gateway start # gateway alive, PID 37520
$ hermes gateway status # reports "No gateway process detected"
$ tasklist /FI "PID eq 37520" # INFO: No tasks are running
# — gateway terminated silently
Root-cause fix is a new ``gateway.status._pid_exists(pid)`` helper:
- On Windows: Win32 ``OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION |
SYNCHRONIZE, False, pid)`` + ``WaitForSingleObject(handle, 0)``
via ctypes. Zero signal delivery, zero console-group side effects.
Pins ctypes return types to avoid DWORD-vs-signed-int parse bugs
on WAIT_TIMEOUT (0x102). Distinguishes ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
(PID gone) from ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (alive but another user).
- On POSIX: the canonical ``os.kill(pid, 0)`` idiom that actually is
a no-op there.
Then patch every ``os.kill(pid, 0)`` liveness-check callsite to
route through ``_pid_exists`` instead. Total 14 callsites across
11 files; every single one was a latent silent-kill on Windows:
gateway/run.py:2810 — /restart watcher (inline subprocess)
gateway/run.py:15195 — --replace wait loop
gateway/status.py:572 — acquire_gateway_runtime_lock stale check
gateway/status.py:828 — get_running_pid (THE killer for status)
gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py:111
hermes_cli/gateway.py:228, 522, 1012 — gateway-related drain loops
hermes_cli/kanban_db.py:2826 — _pid_alive was claiming to
be cross-platform but used
os.kill(pid, 0) on Windows
hermes_cli/main.py:5792 — CLI process-kill polling
hermes_cli/profiles.py:782 — profile stop wait loop
plugins/google_meet/process_manager.py:74
tools/browser_tool.py:1215, 1255 — browser daemon ownership probes
tools/mcp_tool.py:1255, 3374 — MCP stdio orphan tracking
The watcher source in gateway/run.py:2810 is a multi-line string
that gets spawned as an inline ``python -c "..."`` subprocess, so
it can't import gateway.status. The fix for that callsite inlines
the same ctypes probe directly into the watcher source.
Tested on Windows 10 with the hermes gateway + Telegram bot:
- gateway start → alive
- 5 consecutive ``hermes gateway status`` invocations → gateway
alive after every one, same PID reported each time (37520, 21952)
- gateway.log shows uninterrupted operation; no spurious shutdown
entries; cron ticker and kanban dispatcher still running on
their 60-second cadence
- bot continues answering Telegram messages throughout
Ships alongside an exit-path diagnostic wrapper in
``hermes_cli/gateway.py::run_gateway()`` that captures every way
``asyncio.run(start_gateway(...))`` can return (success, SystemExit,
KeyboardInterrupt, BaseException, atexit) with full traceback to
``logs/gateway-exit-diag.log``. This was used to prove the gateway
was being hard-killed externally (no exit event fired) and should
be kept for future Windows debugging.

Closes the last Python-on-Windows UTF-8 exposure by making every
text-mode open() call explicit about its encoding.
Before: on Windows, bare open(path, 'r') defaults to the system
locale encoding (cp1252 on US-locale installs). That means reading
any config/yaml/markdown/json file with non-ASCII content either
crashes with UnicodeDecodeError or silently mis-decodes bytes.
After: all 89 affected call sites in production code now pass
encoding='utf-8' explicitly. Works identically on every platform
and every locale, no surprise behavior.
Mechanical sweep via:
ruff check --preview --extend-select PLW1514 --unsafe-fixes --fix --exclude 'tests,venv,.venv,node_modules,website,optional-skills, skills,tinker-atropos,plugins' .
All 89 fixes have the same shape: open(x) or open(x, mode) became
open(x, encoding='utf-8') or open(x, mode, encoding='utf-8'). Nothing
else changed. Every modified file still parses and the Windows/sandbox
test suite is still green (85 passed, 14 skipped, 0 failed across
tests/tools/test_code_execution_windows_env.py +
tests/tools/test_code_execution_modes.py + tests/tools/test_env_passthrough.py +
tests/test_hermes_bootstrap.py).
Scope notes:
- tests/ excluded: test fixtures can use locale encoding intentionally
(exercising edge cases). If we want to tighten tests later that's
a separate PR.
- plugins/ excluded: plugin-specific conventions may differ; plugin
authors own their code.
- optional-skills/ and skills/ excluded: skill scripts are user-authored
and we don't want to mass-edit them.
- website/ and tinker-atropos/ excluded: vendored / generated content.
46 files touched, 89 +/- lines (symmetric replacement). No behavior
change on POSIX or on Windows when the file is ASCII; bug fix on
Windows when the file contains non-ASCII.
Second pass on native Windows support, driven by a systematic audit across
five areas: POSIX-only primitives (signal.SIGKILL/SIGHUP/SIGPIPE, os.WNOHANG,
os.setsid), path translation bugs (/c/Users → C:\Users), subprocess patterns
(npm.cmd batch shims, start_new_session no-op on Windows), subsystem health
(cron, gateway daemon, update flow), and module-level import guards.
Every change is platform-gated — POSIX (Linux/macOS) behaviour is preserved
bit-identical. Explicit "do no harm" test: test_posix_path_preserved_on_linux,
test_posix_noop, test_windows_detach_popen_kwargs_is_posix_equivalent_on_posix.
## New module
- hermes_cli/_subprocess_compat.py — shared helpers (resolve_node_command,
windows_detach_flags, windows_hide_flags, windows_detach_popen_kwargs).
All no-ops on non-Windows.
## CRITICAL fixes (would crash or silently break on Windows)
- tui_gateway/entry.py: SIGPIPE/SIGHUP referenced at module top level would
AttributeError on import on Windows, breaking `hermes --tui` entirely (it
spawns this module as a subprocess). Guard each signal.signal() call with
hasattr() and add SIGBREAK as Windows' SIGHUP equivalent.
- hermes_cli/kanban_db.py: os.waitpid(-1, os.WNOHANG) in dispatcher tick was
unguarded. os.WNOHANG doesn't exist on Windows. Gate the whole reap loop
behind `os.name != "nt"` — Windows has no zombies anyway.
- tools/code_execution_tool.py: AF_UNIX socket for execute_code RPC fails on
most Windows builds. Fall back to loopback TCP (AF_INET on 127.0.0.1:0
ephemeral port) when _IS_WINDOWS. HERMES_RPC_SOCKET env var now accepts
either a filesystem path (POSIX) or `tcp://127.0.0.1:<port>` (Windows).
Generated sandbox client parses both.
- cron/scheduler.py: `argv = ["/bin/bash", str(path)]` hardcoded. Use
shutil.which("bash") so Windows (Git Bash via MinGit) works, with a
readable error when bash is genuinely absent.
- 6 bare npm/npx spawn sites: tools_config.py x2, doctor.py, whatsapp.py
(npm install + node version probe), browser_tool.py x2. On Windows npm
is npm.cmd / npx is npx.cmd (batch shims); subprocess.Popen(["npm", ...])
fails with WinError 193. shutil.which(...) returns the absolute .cmd
path which CreateProcessW accepts because the extension routes through
cmd.exe /c. POSIX behaviour unchanged (shutil.which still returns the
same path subprocess would resolve itself).
## HIGH fixes (silent misbehaviour on Windows)
- tools/environments/local.py get_temp_dir: hardcoded /tmp returned on
Windows meant `_cwd_file = "/tmp/hermes-cwd-*.txt"`, which bash wrote
via MSYS2's virtual /tmp but native Python couldn't open. Result: cwd
tracking silently broken — `cd` in terminal tool did nothing. Windows
branch now returns `%HERMES_HOME%/cache/terminal` with forward slashes
(works in both bash and Python, guaranteed no spaces).
- tools/environments/local.py _make_run_env PATH injection: `/usr/bin not
in split(":")` heuristic mangles Windows PATH (";" separator). Gate
the injection behind `not _IS_WINDOWS`.
- hermes_cli/gateway.py launch_detached_profile_gateway_restart: outer
Popen + watcher-script Popen both used start_new_session=True, which
Windows silently ignores. Watcher stayed attached to CLI's console,
died when user closed terminal after `hermes update`, left gateway
stale. Now branches through windows_detach_popen_kwargs() helper
(CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP | DETACHED_PROCESS | CREATE_NO_WINDOW on
Windows, start_new_session=True on POSIX — identical to main).
## MEDIUM fixes
- gateway/run.py /restart and /update handlers: hardcoded bash/setsid
chain crashes on Windows when user triggers /update in-gateway. Now
has sys.platform=="win32" branch using sys.executable + a tiny
Python watcher with proper detach flags. POSIX path is unchanged.
- cli.py _git_repo_root: Git on Windows sometimes returns /c/Users/...
style paths that break subprocess.Popen(cwd=...) and Path().resolve().
Added _normalize_git_bash_path() helper that translates /c/Users,
/cygdrive/c, /mnt/c variants to native C:\Users form. POSIX no-op.
_git_repo_root() now routes every result through it.
- cli.py worktree .worktreeinclude: os.symlink on directories failed
hard on Windows (requires admin or Developer Mode). Falls back to
shutil.copytree with a warning log.
## Tests
- 29 new tests in tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py covering:
subprocess_compat helpers, TUI entry signal guards, kanban waitpid
guard, code_execution TCP fallback source-level invariants, cron bash
resolution, npm/npx bare-spawn lint per-file, local env Windows temp
dir, PATH injection gating, git bash path normalization, symlink
fallback, gateway detached watcher flags.
- One existing test assertion adjusted in test_browser_homebrew_paths:
it compared captured Popen argv to the BARE `"npx"` literal; after the
shutil.which() change argv[0] is the absolute path. New assertion
checks the shape (two items, second is `agent-browser`) rather than
the exact first-item string. Behaviour unchanged; test was too strict.
All 56 tests pass on Linux (30 from previous commits + 26 new).
267 tests from the affected files/dirs (browser, code_exec, local_env,
process_registry, kanban_db, windows_compat) all pass — zero regressions.
tests/hermes_cli/ (3909 pass) and tests/gateway/ (5021 pass) unchanged;
all pre-existing test failures confirmed unrelated via `git stash` re-run.
## What's still deferred (LOW priority)
- Visible cmd-window flashes on short-lived console apps (~14 sites) —
cosmetic, needs a follow-up pass once we have user reports.
- agent/file_safety.py POSIX-only security deny patterns — separate
hardening task.
- tools/process_registry.py returning "/tmp" as fallback — theoretical;
reachable only when all env-var candidates fail.
Defense-in-depth polish on top of the webhook listener before it becomes
a real attack surface once the pipeline starts creating subscriptions
and Graph starts POSTing to the configured public URL.
- Timing-safe clientState comparison. Previously used `==` on strings;
switches to hmac.compare_digest so a mismatch does not leak how many
leading characters matched. client_state is documented as a strong
shared secret (openssl rand -hex 32 in the setup docs), so a
timing-safe primitive is the right call.
- Split GET and POST handlers. Graph validates a subscription by sending
GET with validationToken in the query; anything else on GET is now a
400 so the endpoint cannot be probed or mistakenly used for data
exfil. Previously a bare GET fell through to the POST path and blew
up on request.json() with a confusing 400.
- Empty response bodies on success. 202 is returned with no body so
internal counters (accepted / duplicates / scheduled) do not leak to
any caller that can reach the endpoint; counters remain observable
via /health for operators. 403 on every-item-bad-clientState batches
(so forged POSTs stop retrying), 400 on malformed / unknown-resource
batches (sender configuration issue).
- Optional source-IP allowlist. New `allowed_source_cidrs` extra field
(list or comma-separated string) and `MSGRAPH_WEBHOOK_ALLOWED_SOURCE_CIDRS`
env var let operators restrict the webhook to Microsoft Graph's
published webhook source ranges in production. Empty = allow all,
preserving dev-tunnel / localhost workflows. Invalid CIDRs are
logged and ignored rather than crashing. Also gates the handshake
endpoint so disallowed IPs cannot probe it.
- Tests updated for the new response contract (empty-body 202,
auth-only 403, config-error 400) and extended to cover: bare GET
rejection, POST-with-validationToken handshake tolerance,
timing-safe compare actually invoked via hmac.compare_digest spy,
malformed body / missing value array, IP allowlist accept/reject
paths, handshake IP allowlist, invalid CIDR entries, comma-string
CIDR list parsing. 52/52 passed (was 40).
Full gateway suite: 5049 passed / 1 pre-existing failure in
test_discord_free_response (unrelated, reproduces on clean origin/main).
Route goal status notices through the platform adapter send API and register post-delivery callbacks so completed-goal notices appear after the final assistant response. Also cancel queued synthetic goal continuations on /goal pause and /goal clear while preserving normal queued user messages.
The May 5 refactor in d5357f816 made _message_thread_id_for_typing()
symmetric with _message_thread_id_for_send() by mapping the General
topic (thread id "1") to None upfront for both. That's correct for
sendMessage — Telegram rejects message_thread_id=1 on sends and the
topic must be omitted — but it's wrong for sendChatAction.
Observed behavior (confirmed via before/after Telegram wire traces):
Before d5357f816: thread_id=1 → message_thread_id=1 → bubble visible in General
After d5357f816: thread_id=1 → message_thread_id=None → no visible typing
Omitting message_thread_id on sendChatAction does NOT fall back to
the General topic's view in a forum-enabled supergroup; the bubble
ends up hidden from the client's General-topic pane entirely. For
any user on a forum-group, the typing indicator stopped appearing.
Fix: drop the symmetric "1 → None" mapping from the typing resolver.
sendMessage still maps 1 → None via _message_thread_id_for_send (that
side was never broken). The asymmetry is real and required by
Telegram's API — document it in the resolver docstring.
Partial revert of d5357f816; restores the behavior from 0cf7d570e
("fix(telegram): restore typing indicator and thread routing for
forum General topic"). Does not re-introduce the retry-without-thread
fallback that 41545f7ec scoped down for DM topics — with the resolver
fixed, the first call already hits the right wire shape.
Test updated from test_send_typing_general_topic_uses_none_thread_id
(which encoded the broken contract) to
test_send_typing_preserves_general_topic_thread_id, asserting the
single correct call with message_thread_id=1. 10 other tests in the
file untouched and passing.
Makes the in-tree QQ inline keyboards actually light up when the agent
blocks on a dangerous-command approval. Matches the cross-adapter
gateway contract already implemented by Discord, Telegram, Slack,
Matrix, and Feishu.
Gateway/run.py's _approval_notify_sync checks type(adapter).send_exec_approval
and falls back to a text prompt when it's missing. Without this wiring,
QQ users stared at plain '/approve' text even though the adapter shipped
button primitives.
### send_exec_approval(chat_id, command, session_key, description, metadata)
Matches the signature the gateway calls with. Builds an ApprovalRequest
(command_preview, description, timeout) and delegates to send_approval_request.
Uses the last inbound msg_id as reply_to so QQ accepts the passive
message. The 'metadata' parameter is accepted for contract parity but
intentionally unused — QQ doesn't have thread_id/DM-targeting overrides.
### send_update_prompt(chat_id, prompt, default, session_key, metadata)
Signature updated to match the cross-adapter contract used by
'hermes update --gateway' watcher. Renders a 'Update Needs Your Input'
prompt with the optional default hint and a Yes/No keyboard. Replaces
the earlier 3-arg helper that wasn't wired anywhere.
### Default interaction dispatcher
_default_interaction_dispatch() auto-registered as the adapter's
interaction callback in __init__. Routes:
- approve:<session_key>:<decision> → tools.approval.resolve_gateway_approval
Button → choice mapping:
allow-once → 'once'
allow-always → 'always'
deny → 'deny'
(QQ's 3-button mobile layout deliberately collapses 'session' + 'always'
into one button; /approve session text fallback remains available.)
- update_prompt:<answer> → atomic write of y/n to ~/.hermes/.update_response
(the detached 'hermes update --gateway' watcher polls this file)
- anything else → logged and dropped
Resolve exceptions are caught and logged — never propagate into the WS
loop. Callers can override via set_interaction_callback() to route
clicks elsewhere or pass None to drop them entirely.
### Net effect
QQ users now get native tap-to-approve UX on dangerous-command prompts
and update-confirmation prompts, without having to type /approve or /deny
as text. The adapter hooks into tools.approval the same way every other
button-capable platform does.
### Tests
14 new tests cover:
- Default callback installed on __init__
- send_exec_approval / send_update_prompt exist as class methods (so the
gateway's type-probe detects them)
- allow-once/always/deny each map to the correct resolve choice
- update_prompt:y / update_prompt:n each write atomically to the response
file (via monkeypatched get_hermes_home)
- Unknown button_data / empty button_data / resolve exceptions are harmless
- send_exec_approval honours last_msg_id reply-to and accepts metadata
- send_update_prompt delegates with correct content + keyboard
Full qqbot suite: 144 passed (72 pre-existing + 72 from this salvage arc).
Also ran tools/test_approval.py alongside — no regressions (276 passed
combined).

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

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

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

Mirrors the Slack `allowed_channels` feature (PR #7401) and Discord's
`allowed_channels` (PR #7044) across the remaining group-capable platforms.
All five platforms (Slack + Discord + the four added here) now follow the
same pattern: primary config via config.yaml, env-var fallback as an escape
hatch — matching the project policy that .env is for secrets only and
behavioral settings belong in config.yaml.
Also fixes a duplicate `slack` key in DEFAULT_CONFIG introduced by PR
#7401 (the later entry silently overwrote `allowed_channels`, `require_mention`,
and `free_response_channels` at dict-literal evaluation time).
Platforms added:
- Telegram: `telegram.allowed_chats` (env alias: `TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_CHATS`)
- Mattermost: `mattermost.allowed_channels` (env alias: `MATTERMOST_ALLOWED_CHANNELS`)
- Matrix: `matrix.allowed_rooms` (env alias: `MATRIX_ALLOWED_ROOMS`)
- DingTalk: `dingtalk.allowed_chats` (env alias: `DINGTALK_ALLOWED_CHATS`)
Mattermost and Matrix previously had NO config.yaml bridging for any of
their gating settings; this PR adds `load_gateway_config` bridges for them
(Mattermost gets require_mention + free_response_channels + allowed_channels;
Matrix gets allowed_rooms on top of its existing bridges for require_mention
and free_response_rooms).
Semantics identical everywhere:
- Empty = no restriction (fully backward compatible).
- Non-empty = hard whitelist: non-listed chats are silently ignored,
even when the bot is @mentioned.
- DMs bypass the check entirely.
DEFAULT_CONFIG merges the duplicate `slack` block and adds new `mattermost`
and `matrix` blocks so all gating settings surface in defaults.
Not included: Feishu (has its own per-chat `chat_rules` system that covers
this use case differently), WhatsApp (already has `group_allow_from` via
`group_policy: allowlist`), pure-DM platforms (Signal, SMS, BlueBubbles,
Yuanbao — no group concept).
Extracts the three try/write_runtime_status/except-log blocks into a
shared _write_runtime_status_safe() helper. On failure, logs the first
occurrence per (platform, context) at warning level and downgrades
subsequent failures to debug — so a persistently broken status dir
(permissions, ENOSPC) doesn't spam the log on every Telegram reconnect.
Uses getattr for the _status_write_logged set so test harnesses that
skip __init__ (object.__new__(Adapter)) don't break.
Follow-up to the salvaged #21158.
Per repo policy, ~/.hermes/.env is for secrets only. Guild IDs are
behavioral configuration, not secrets. Replacing the
DISCORD_DM_ROLE_AUTH_GUILD env var from the original fix with
discord.dm_role_auth_guild in config.yaml.
- New module-level _read_dm_role_auth_guild() helper reads
hermes_cli.config.read_raw_config()['discord']['dm_role_auth_guild'].
Fails closed on any parse error (safe default = DM role-auth off).
- DEFAULT_CONFIG['discord'] gains dm_role_auth_guild: '' with a comment
documenting the opt-in.
- Tests patch hermes_cli.config.read_raw_config directly (via the
_set_dm_role_auth_guild helper) instead of setenv/delenv. 12 tests
in test_discord_roles_dm_scope pass; no env var involvement.
- Docstring + module docstring + comments updated to reference
discord.dm_role_auth_guild.
- E2E verified with real imports across 6 scenarios: unset, int,
string, garbage, zero, and (crucially) env-var-only-no-config all
return None except the valid int/string cases. Env var has zero
effect — policy compliance confirmed.
Sibling-site fix: _evaluate_slash_authorization was the fourth
_is_allowed_user caller and didn't pass guild/is_dm through, so slash
interactions would take the DM branch regardless of whether they came
from a guild channel. Now reads interaction.guild + in_dm and forwards.
Also updates test_discord_slash_auth fixture (_make_interaction) so
the SimpleNamespace guild mock has a get_member(uid)->None method —
required by the new guild-scoped fallback path in _is_allowed_user.
Tests exercising positive role paths still work via user.roles.
Three new regression tests in test_discord_roles_dm_scope:
- Slash DM + role in mutual public guild → rejected
- Slash in guild B + role only in guild A → rejected
- Slash in guild B + role in guild B → allowed (positive control)
368 Discord tests pass. test_discord_free_channel_skips_auto_thread
also fails on clean main (pre-existing, unrelated to this fix).
The initial DISCORD_ALLOWED_ROLES implementation (#11608, merged from #9873)
scans every mutual guild when resolving a user's roles. This allows a
cross-guild DM bypass:
1. Bot is in both public server A and private server B.
2. User holds the allowed role in server A only.
3. User DMs the bot. The role check finds the role in A and authorizes the
DM, granting access as if the user were trusted in server B.
Fix:
- DMs (no guild context) disable role-based auth by default. Opt-in via
DISCORD_DM_ROLE_AUTH_GUILD=<guild_id> restricts role lookup to one
explicitly-trusted guild.
- Guild messages check roles only in the originating guild
(message.guild), never in other mutual guilds.
- Reject cached author.roles when the Member came from a different guild
than the current message.
Backwards compatibility:
- DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS behavior is unchanged (still works in both DMs
and guild messages).
- Deployments that rely on roles in guild channels continue to work;
role checks are now strictly scoped to that guild.
- Deployments that intentionally want role-based DM auth can opt into a
single trusted guild via DISCORD_DM_ROLE_AUTH_GUILD.
Tests: 9 new regression guards in
tests/gateway/test_discord_roles_dm_scope.py covering the bypass path,
the opt-in path, cross-guild guild-message bypass, and backwards-compat
user-ID paths. 47/47 discord-auth tests pass.

Fixes#19124
Skills that produce large/lossless images (e.g. info-graph, where a
rendered JPG is 1-2 MB) currently lose quality in Telegram delivery
because `_IMAGE_EXTS` membership routes the file through
`send_multiple_images` → `sendMediaGroup`, which Telegram's server
re-encodes to JPEG @ 1280px max edge. The original bytes only survive
when the file goes through `send_document`, which the dispatch tables
in three places (`_process_message_background`, `_deliver_media_from_response`,
and the `send_message` tool's telegram path) only reach for files
whose extension is NOT in `_IMAGE_EXTS`.
This commit adds an `[[as_document]]` directive that mirrors the
existing `[[audio_as_voice]]` shape: a skill emits the directive once
in its response, and every image-extension MEDIA: file in that response
is delivered via `send_document` instead of `send_multiple_images` /
`sendPhoto`. The directive is detected at the dispatch sites (which see
the raw response) and the directive string is stripped from the
user-visible cleaned text in `extract_media` so it never leaks.
Granularity is intentionally all-or-nothing per response, matching
[[audio_as_voice]]'s scope. Skills that need fine control can split into
two responses.
Verified the targeted use case: info-graph emits
信息图已生成（...）
[[as_document]]
MEDIA:/tmp/info-graph-x/infographic.jpg
→ Telegram receives `infographic.jpg` via sendDocument, original 1MB
JPEG bytes preserved, no recompression. Forwarding and download
filenames stay clean (`infographic.jpg`).
Tests: +3 cases in TestExtractMedia covering directive strip, isolation
from voice flag, and coexistence with [[audio_as_voice]]. All
113 pre-existing media/extract/send tests pass.

aiohttp ClientTimeout uses BaseTimerContext which calls
loop.call_later() internally. When invoked via
asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe() from cron jobs, this
triggers "Timeout context manager should be used inside a task"
errors, causing message delivery failures.
Replace all direct ClientTimeout usage with asyncio.wait_for():
- _upload_ciphertext: CDN upload (120s timeout)
- _download_bytes: CDN download (configurable timeout)
- _download_remote_media: remote media fetch (30s timeout)
Also set total=None on _send_session to disable aiohttp built-in
timeout, and change trust_env=True to False to bypass proxy for
WeChat CDN connections.
When display.cleanup_progress (or display.platforms.<plat>.cleanup_progress)
is true, the gateway deletes tool-progress bubbles, long-running '⏳ Still
working...' notices, and status-callback messages after the final response
is delivered successfully. Currently effective on adapters that implement
delete_message (Telegram); silently no-ops elsewhere. Off by default.
Failed runs skip cleanup so bubbles stay as breadcrumbs.
Minimal plumbing: base.py's existing post_delivery_callback slot now chains
new registrations onto any existing callback (with per-callback exception
isolation) rather than clobbering. Stale-generation registrations are
rejected so they can't step on a fresher run's callbacks. This lets the
cleanup callback coexist with the background-review release hook already
registered on the same slot.

Two follow-ups on top of helix4u's slash-command sync hardening:
- Only suppress exceptions that are actually Discord 429 rate limits
(discord.RateLimited, HTTPException with status 429, or a clearly
rate-limit-named duck type). Arbitrary failures that happen to expose
a retry_after attribute now re-raise to the outer handler instead of
silently swallowing a cooldown.
- Move the sync-state JSON under $HERMES_HOME/gateway/ so the home root
stops collecting ad-hoc runtime files.
Added a test verifying unrelated exceptions don't get misclassified as
rate limits.
- Remove dead metadata.get('reply_to') fallback in _send_raw_message;
nothing in the codebase ever sets 'reply_to' inside a metadata dict —
the key only appears as a top-level send_voice() keyword argument
- Simplify _status_thread_metadata construction in run.py to use a
single dict literal instead of create-then-mutate pattern; the
or-{} guard was dead since source.thread_id implies _progress_thread_id
is also set for Feishu
- Add yuqian@zmetasoft.com to AUTHOR_MAP for contributor attribution
Route Feishu topic progress, status, approval, stream, and fallback messages through threaded replies by preserving the originating message id as the reply target. Add regressions for tool progress topic metadata and Feishu metadata-driven reply routing.
Reduces SSE event rate ~500/turn → ~20/turn via 50ms text-delta batching in
_dispatch(), which eliminates markdown re-render storms on Open WebUI. Also:
- Trim tool_call.arguments in the response.completed event to 100KB
(prevents silent hangs on 848KB+ single-line SSE events).
- Catch-all exception handlers in _write_sse_responses() + _write_sse_chat_completion()
emit a proper error chunk instead of TransferEncodingError from incomplete
chunked encoding when the agent crashes mid-stream.
- MAX_REQUEST_BYTES 1MB → 10MB; pass client_max_size to aiohttp Application to
avoid silent 400s on truncated request bodies for long conversations.
Salvage of #17552 (api_server portion only). The contrib/openwebui-filter/
payload from that PR — Open WebUI Filter Function + benchmark writeup — is
a client-side user-installable add-on and doesn't need to live in the repo;
dropped here. Closes#17537.

Salvage of #11350. Kept:
- Code: add an explicit /voice join Choice in the slash UI (runner accepts both 'join' and 'channel' but only 'channel' was in autocomplete).
- Docs: Server Members Intent is conditional (only needed if DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS contains usernames); SSRC → user_id mapping uses the voice websocket SPEAKING opcode, not the Members intent.
Dropped from the original PR:
- HERMES_DISCORD_VOICE_PACKET_DUMP — this env var doesn't exist on main (it was in a different PR that isn't merged).
- DISCORD_PROXY docs — already documented on current main.
- DISCORD_ALLOW_MENTION_* docs — already on main.
- "barge-in mode" rewrite — current main actually does pause the listener during TTS (VoiceReceiver.pause() at discord.py:192); there is no barge_in_guard/barge_in_rms on main.

Mirror _message_thread_id_for_typing() with _message_thread_id_for_send():
both now map the General forum topic (thread id "1") to None upfront.
That removes the need for the retry-without-thread fallback in send_typing()
entirely — if _message_thread_id_for_typing() returns a non-None value, it's
a real user-created topic and falling back to the root chat is never correct.
If Telegram rejects the typing action (e.g. topic deleted mid-session), we
swallow it at debug level instead of bleeding the indicator into All Messages.
Updates the General-topic typing regression test to assert the new single-call
contract.
Salvages @Es1la's PR #13632 — a non-numeric timestamp in the persisted
feishu dedup state crashed adapter startup with ValueError/TypeError
from the unguarded float() call. Wrap the float() conversion in
try/except; skip the bad key and keep loading the rest.
The original PR also restructured existing TestDedupTTL tests to use
tempfile.TemporaryDirectory + HERMES_HOME patching — that was
test-hygiene scope creep unrelated to the bug. Kept only the
malformed-timestamp fix and added a focused regression test.
Feishu post-type 'md' elements do not render markdown tables.
When table content is sent as post (triggered by **bold** matching
_MARKDOWN_HINT_RE), the message appears blank on the client.
Add _MARKDOWN_TABLE_RE to detect markdown table syntax and force
text mode for table content, ensuring it is visible as plain text.
After PR #13725 replaced the module-level _LOCK_DIR/_LOCK_FILE constants
with a dynamic _get_lock_paths() helper, the xdist-isolation fixture
needs to patch the function instead of the removed constants.
- scheduler.py: Replace static _hermes_home with dynamic _get_hermes_home() function
to support profile switching at runtime (HERMES_HOME override)
- scheduler.py: Replace static _LOCK_DIR/_LOCK_FILE with _get_lock_paths() function
for profile-aware lock path resolution
- feishu.py: Add receive_id_type detection (oc_/ou_ -> open_id, else chat_id)
to fix Feishu API '[230001] ext=invalid receive_id' error for user DMs
Widens @Krionex's PR #16933 fix to cover the second bug class at the sibling
site. natural mode used to pass env values through int() before the PR
caught mis-typed values crashing the gateway; custom mode had the exact
same bug one branch away (HERMES_HUMAN_DELAY_MIN_MS=oops in custom mode
still crashed). Same try/except/fallback pattern, scoped to the two
int() calls that feed random.uniform().
When context compression rotates the agent's session_id to a new
child session, the API server was still returning the stale parent
session_id in the X-Hermes-Session-Id response header.
This caused external clients to keep sending the old session_id,
loading uncompressed parent history instead of the compressed
continuation.
Fix: _run_agent() now includes the effective session_id in its
result dict, and the response header uses it instead of the
original provided session_id.
* feat(api-server): X-Hermes-Session-Key header for long-term memory scoping
API Server integrations (Open WebUI, custom web UIs) can now pass a stable
per-channel identifier via X-Hermes-Session-Key that scopes long-term memory
(Honcho, etc.) independently of the transcript-scoped X-Hermes-Session-Id.
This matches the native gateway's session_key / session_id split: one stable
key per assistant channel, many independent transcripts that rotate on /new.
- _create_agent and _run_agent accept gateway_session_key and pass it to
AIAgent(gateway_session_key=...), which is already honored by the Honcho
memory provider (plugins/memory/honcho/client.py resolve_session_name).
- New shared helper _parse_session_key_header applies the same API-key
gate, control-character sanitization, and a 256-char length cap as the
existing session-id header.
- All three agent endpoints honor the header: /v1/chat/completions,
/v1/responses, /v1/runs. JSON and SSE responses echo it back.
- /v1/capabilities advertises session_key_header so clients can
feature-detect.
Closes#20060.

WeCom doesn't pad base64 aeskey, causing Python strict mode decode failure
on media/image/file messages. Add automatic padding before base64 decode:
aes_key + '=' * ((4 - len(aes_key) % 4) % 4).
Salvages the AES padding fix from @chengoak's PR #17040. The SSRF whitelist
entry for a private COS bucket hostname was dropped as it belongs in user
config, not the built-in trusted-private-IP-hosts list. The debug-level
full-body info log was dropped to avoid logging potentially sensitive
message content at INFO level.
discover_fallback_ips() filtered out any DoH-resolved IP that also appeared
in the system resolver's answer set, on the assumption that the system IP
was unreachable. When DoH and system DNS agreed (a common case), the
function returned the hardcoded _SEED_FALLBACK_IPS list instead — and on
networks where those seed addresses are not routable, the Telegram fallback
transport had nothing usable to retry against and polling failed.
Drop the system_ips exclusion so DoH-confirmed IPs are preserved regardless
of system DNS overlap. The TelegramFallbackTransport already tries the
primary path first via system DNS, then falls through to the IP-rewrite
path on connect failure; including the same IP in both lanes lets a
transient primary failure recover via the explicit IP route instead of
escalating to seed addresses.
Update the two tests that codified the old exclusion to reflect the new,
inclusion-by-default behaviour.
Fixes#14520
Add EMAIL_ALLOWED_USERS check in EmailAdapter._dispatch_message()
to silently discard emails from senders not in the allowlist. This
prevents the adapter from creating thread context and dispatching a
MessageEvent for unauthorized senders, which could race with the
gateway authorization check and result in SMTP replies being sent
despite the handler returning None.

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

When run_conversation encounters a non-retryable client error (401, 400,
etc.), it returns a dict with failed=True instead of raising. The gateway's
_run_and_close only branched on exceptions, so it always emitted run.completed
even for failed runs — clients could not distinguish success from failure.
Inspect the result dict before emitting: if failed=True, emit run.failed
with the error message; otherwise emit run.completed as before. The existing
except Exception path is unchanged for genuine programming errors.
Fixes#15561
Telegram's send_photo has dimension limits (sum of width+height <= 10000px).
When sending large screenshots or tall images, the API returns
'Photo_invalid_dimensions' error.
Fix: Catch this specific error in send_image_file() and automatically
fallback to send_document() which has no dimension limits (only 50MB size).
This is similar to the existing 5MB URL fallback (commit 542faf22) but
handles local files with dimension issues instead of URL size issues.
When DISCORD_IGNORE_NO_MENTION is true (default), the bot ignores
messages without @mention. However, this check ran before evaluating
free_response_channels, so messages in free-response channels were
wrongly dropped unless they contained a mention.
This change adds a carve-out: if the message lands in a channel that
is configured as a free response channel (or its parent category is),
the ignore-no-mention rule is skipped.
Also removes the unconditional skip_thread for free response channels
so that auto_thread still creates threads there unless explicitly
disabled via DISCORD_NO_THREAD_CHANNELS.
The on_processing_start hook fired a reaction emoji (👀) on every
inbound Signal message before run.py's _is_user_authorized check.
This meant contacts not in SIGNAL_ALLOWED_USERS would see the bot
react to their messages even though Hermes silently dropped them —
leaking the presence of the bot and causing confusing UX.
Two changes to gateway/platforms/signal.py:
1. Read SIGNAL_ALLOWED_USERS into self.dm_allow_from in __init__
(mirrors the group_allow_from pattern already in place).
2. Add _reactions_enabled(event) — two-gate check:
- SIGNAL_REACTIONS=false/0/no disables reactions globally
- If SIGNAL_ALLOWED_USERS is set, only react to senders in
the allowlist (skips unauthorized contacts)
Both on_processing_start and on_processing_complete now call this
guard before sending any reaction.
Telegram already has an equivalent _reactions_enabled() guard
(controlled by TELEGRAM_REACTIONS). This brings Signal to parity.
When /new is issued while an agent is actively processing, the confirmation response was never sent to the user because cancel_session_processing() was called before _send_with_retry(). Task cancellation side effects could silently drop the response.
Fix: reorder to send the response BEFORE cancelling the old task. Add logging at the send point (matching the pattern at line 2800 in _process_message_background) so future failures are visible.
Closes: #18912
SlackAdapter.connect() overwrote self._handler, self._app, and
self._socket_mode_task without closing the prior AsyncSocketModeHandler
first. If connect() was called a second time on the same adapter (e.g.
during a gateway restart or in-process reconnect attempt), the old Socket
Mode websocket stayed alive. Both the old and new connections received
every Slack event and dispatched it twice — producing double responses
with different wording, the same bug that affected DiscordAdapter (#18187,
fixed in #18758).
Fix: add a close-before-reassign guard at the start of the connection
setup path, mirroring the guard DiscordAdapter.connect() already has.
When self._handler is None (fresh adapter, first connect()) the block is
a harmless no-op. Scoped to the handler/app fields only — no behavior
change for any path that does not call connect() twice.
Fixes#18980
When send_message tool is called from inside a running gateway, the
_run_async bridge spawns a worker thread with a separate event loop.
send_weixin_direct then reuses the live adapter's aiohttp session
which was created on the gateway's main loop. aiohttp's TimerContext
checks asyncio.current_task(loop=session._loop) and sees None because
we're executing on the worker thread's loop → raises 'Timeout context
manager should be used inside a task'.
Fix: skip the live-adapter shortcut when the session belongs to a
different event loop, falling through to the fresh-session path.
Two mitigations for the CLOSE_WAIT accumulation reported against QQ Bot
+ Feishu on macOS behind Cloudflare Warp.
1. Shared httpx.Limits helper (gateway/platforms/_http_client_limits.py).
Every long-lived platform adapter now constructs httpx.AsyncClient
with max_keepalive_connections=10 and keepalive_expiry=2.0, vs httpx's
default of unbounded keepalive pool and 5.0s expiry. On macOS/Warp the
default 5s window let idle keepalive sockets sit in CLOSE_WAIT long
enough for seven persistent adapters (QQ Bot, WeCom, DingTalk, Signal,
BlueBubbles, WeCom-callback, plus the transient Feishu helper) to
compound to the 256-fd ulimit. Tunable via
HERMES_GATEWAY_HTTPX_KEEPALIVE_EXPIRY and
HERMES_GATEWAY_HTTPX_MAX_KEEPALIVE env vars.
2. whatsapp.send_typing aiohttp leak. The call was
'await self._http_session.post(...)' with no 'async with' and no
variable capture — the ClientResponse went out of scope unclosed,
holding its TCP socket in CLOSE_WAIT until GC. Fixed by wrapping in
'async with'. This was the only bare-await aiohttp leak in the
gateway/tools/plugins tree per audit; all other aiohttp sites use
the context-manager pattern correctly.
The underlying reporter also saw Feishu SDK (lark-oapi) connections in
CLOSE_WAIT — those are inside the SDK and out of our direct control, but
tightening httpx keepalive across adapters reduces the aggregate pool
pressure regardless of which individual adapter leaks.
Snapshot Content-Type and body while the client context is still
active so pooled connections fully release on exit. Previously the
read happened after `async with httpx.AsyncClient(...)` returned —
which works today only because httpx eagerly buffers non-streaming
responses; a future refactor to `.stream()` would silently read-
after-close.
Part of the #18451 connection-hygiene audit. Salvage of #18502.
* fix(gateway): config.yaml wins over .env for agent/display/timezone settings
Regression from the silent config→env bridge. The bridge at module import
time is correct for max_turns (unconditional overwrite), but every other
agent.*, display.*, timezone, and security bridge key was guarded by
'if X not in os.environ' — so a stale .env entry from an old 'hermes setup'
run would shadow the user's current config.yaml indefinitely.
Symptom: agent.max_turns: 500 in config.yaml, HERMES_MAX_ITERATIONS=60
in .env from an old setup, and the gateway silently capped at 60
iterations per turn. Gateway logs confirmed api_calls never exceeded 60.
Three changes:
1. gateway/run.py: drop the 'not in os.environ' guards for all agent.*,
display.*, timezone, and security.* bridge keys. config.yaml is now
authoritative for these settings — same semantics already in place
for max_turns, terminal.*, and auxiliary.*. Also surface the bridge
failure (previously 'except Exception: pass') to stderr so operators
see bridge errors instead of silently falling back to .env.
2. gateway/run.py: INFO-log the resolved max_iterations at gateway
start so operators can verify the config→env bridge did the right
thing instead of chasing a phantom budget ceiling.
3. hermes_cli/setup.py: stop writing HERMES_MAX_ITERATIONS to .env in
the setup wizard. config.yaml is the single source of truth. Also
clean up any stale .env entry left behind by pre-fix setups.
Regression tests in tests/gateway/test_config_env_bridge_authority.py
guard each config→env key against the 'stale .env shadows config' bug.
* fix(gateway): shutdown + restart hygiene (drain timeout, false-fatal, success log)
Three issues observed in production gateway.log during a rapid restart
chain on 2026-05-02, all fixed here.
1. _send_restart_notification logged unconditional success
adapter.send() catches provider errors (e.g. Telegram 'Chat not found')
and returns SendResult(success=False); it never raises. The caller
ignored the return value and always logged 'Sent restart notification
to <chat>' at INFO, producing a misleading success line directly
below the 'Failed to send Telegram message' traceback on every boot.
Now inspects result.success and logs WARNING with the error otherwise.
2. WhatsApp bridge SIGTERM on shutdown classified as fatal error
_check_managed_bridge_exit() saw the bridge's returncode -15 (our own
SIGTERM from disconnect()) and fired the full fatal-error path,
producing 'ERROR ... WhatsApp bridge process exited unexpectedly' plus
'Fatal whatsapp adapter error (whatsapp_bridge_exited)' on every
planned shutdown, immediately before the normal '✓ whatsapp
disconnected'. Adds a _shutting_down flag that disconnect() sets
before the terminate, and _check_managed_bridge_exit() returns None
for returncode in {0, -2, -15} while shutting down. OOM-kill (137)
and other non-signal exits still hit the fatal path.
3. restart_drain_timeout default 60s → 180s
On 2026-05-02 01:43:27 a user /restart fired while three agents were
mid-API-call (82s, 112s, 154s into their turns). The 60s drain budget
expired and all three were force-interrupted. 180s covers realistic
in-flight agent turns; users on very-long-reasoning models can still
raise it further via agent.restart_drain_timeout in config.yaml.
Existing explicit user values are preserved by deep-merge.
Tests
- tests/gateway/test_restart_notification.py: two new tests assert INFO
is only logged on SendResult(success=True) and WARNING with the error
string is logged on SendResult(success=False).
- tests/gateway/test_whatsapp_connect.py: parametrized test for
returncode in {0, -2, -15} proves shutdown-time exits are suppressed;
separate test proves returncode 137 (SIGKILL/OOM) still surfaces as
fatal even when _shutting_down is set.
- _check_managed_bridge_exit() reads _shutting_down via getattr-with-
default so existing _make_adapter() test helpers that bypass __init__
(pitfall #17 in AGENTS.md) keep working unmodified.
When DiscordAdapter.connect() is called during reconnect, it creates a new
commands.Bot client without closing the previous one. The old client's
websocket remains connected to Discord's gateway, causing both to fire
on_message for every incoming event — resulting in double responses.
Fix: before creating a new Bot instance, check if a previous client exists
and close it. This ensures only one websocket connection is active at any
time.
Closes#18187
`_register_skill_group` captured the skill catalog in closure variables
(`entries` and `skill_lookup`) so the single `tree.add_command` call at
startup owned the only live copy. The closure is never re-entered after
startup, so `/reload-skills` — which rescans the on-disk skills dir and
refreshes the in-process `_skill_commands` registry — had no way to
propagate results into the `/skill` autocomplete on Discord. New skills
stayed invisible in the dropdown, and deleted skills returned
"Unknown skill" when the stale autocomplete entry was clicked.
The fix is purely a dataflow change: promote `entries` and `skill_lookup`
to instance attributes (`_skill_entries`, `_skill_lookup`), split the
collector-driven rebuild into a helper (`_refresh_skill_catalog_state`),
and add a public `refresh_skill_group()` method that re-runs the helper
and is safe to call at any point after the initial registration.
The gateway's `_handle_reload_skills_command` then iterates
`self.adapters` and calls `refresh_skill_group()` on any adapter that
exposes it (currently only Discord). Both sync and async implementations
are supported; adapters that don't override the method (Telegram's
BotCommand menu, Slack subcommand map, etc.) are silently skipped — the
in-process `reload_skills()` call covers them.
No `tree.sync()` is required because Discord fetches autocomplete
options dynamically on every keystroke — mutating the instance state the
callbacks already read from is sufficient. That sidesteps the per-app
command-bucket rate limit (~5 writes / 20 s) that made the previous
bulk-sync-on-reload approach unusable (#16713 context).
Tests: tests/gateway/test_reload_skills_discord_resync.py — five cases
covering (1) refresh replaces entries, (2) entries stay sorted after
refresh, (3) collector exception leaves cached state intact, (4)
`_refresh_skill_catalog_state` populates the instance attrs, (5)
orchestrator calls `refresh_skill_group()` on sync + async adapters and
skips adapters that don't expose it.
After a transient Telegram 502, _handle_polling_network_error's
stop()+start_polling() cycle can leave PTB's Updater with `running=True`
but a wedged consumer task that never makes progress. No error_callback
fires in that state, so the reconnect ladder never advances past attempt
1, the MAX_NETWORK_RETRIES fatal-error path is never reached, and the
gateway sits silent indefinitely.
Schedule a heartbeat probe (60s after a successful reconnect) that
verifies Updater.running is still True and bot.get_me() responds within
a tight asyncio.wait_for timeout. Either failure feeds back into the
reconnect ladder so the existing escalation path fires.
No PTB-internal coupling, no Application rebuild — minimal additive
defense inside the existing reconnect abstraction.
Tests cover healthy / Updater non-running / probe timeout / probe
network error / already-fatal cases, plus an integration check that the
probe is actually scheduled after a successful start_polling().
Closes the silent-wedge case observed in the wild after a transient
Telegram 502; existing reconnect tests updated to mock bot.get_me() now
that the success path schedules a heartbeat probe.
YAML loads a bare numeric value such as
discord:
free_response_channels: 1491973769726791812
as an int. _discord_free_response_channels() / _slack_free_response_channels()
checked `isinstance(raw, list)` and `isinstance(raw, str)` in that order and
then fell through to `return set()`, so a single-channel config that happened
to be unquoted was silently dropped with no log line — the bot kept demanding
@mentions even though the channel was configured to free-response.
A multi-channel value like `1234567890,9876543210` does not trip this because
the comma forces YAML to parse it as a string. Single-channel configs are
the only case that breaks, which is exactly the footgun that's hardest to
diagnose (the config "looks right" and the feature just doesn't activate).
Note that the old-schema env-var bridge at gateway/config.py:614+ already
runs `str(frc)` when forwarding to SLACK_/DISCORD_FREE_RESPONSE_CHANNELS,
so the env-var fallback worked. The bug only surfaces on the
`config.extra["free_response_channels"]` path populated by the `platforms:`
bridge at gateway/config.py:576, which passes the raw YAML value through
unchanged.
Fix at the reader: treat any non-list value as a scalar, coerce with str(),
then apply the same CSV split semantics. This keeps the public contract
stable (list or str-like continues to work identically) while accepting
the ints that the YAML loader is free to hand us.
Added tests for both Discord and Slack covering:
- bare int value in config.extra
- list of ints in config.extra
Self-review fixes for the slash ephemeral ack:
- Only stash response_url when text starts with '/' (gateway command).
Free-form questions via '/hermes <question>' must produce public agent
replies visible to the whole channel, not ephemeral.
- Use a ContextVar (_slash_user_id) to thread the invoking user's ID
from _handle_slash_command through to send(). _pop_slash_context now
matches the exact (channel_id, user_id) key when the ContextVar is
set, preventing concurrent users on the same channel from stealing
each other's ephemeral context. ContextVars propagate to child
asyncio.Tasks, so the value survives through handle_message →
_process_message_background → _send_with_retry → send().
- Add truncate_message() in _send_slash_ephemeral to prevent silent
failures on long responses (response_url has the same ~40k limit).
- Log send_private_notice failures at debug level instead of bare
except/pass — aids diagnostics without spamming.
- Document app_mention dedup dependency on shared event ts.
- Add tests: free-form question must NOT stash context, concurrent
users on the same channel get isolated contexts, non-slash send()
path fallback behavior.
Adds platform-level private notice delivery abstraction so operational
messages (e.g. sethome prompt) can be sent ephemerally on Slack when
configured with `slack.notice_delivery: private`.
Changes:
- gateway/config.py: _normalize_notice_delivery() + GatewayConfig.get_notice_delivery()
with per-platform config bridging
- gateway/platforms/base.py: send_private_notice() default implementation
(falls through to send())
- gateway/platforms/slack.py: send_private_notice() via chat_postEphemeral
- gateway/run.py: _deliver_platform_notice() helper replaces direct
adapter.send() for the sethome notice, with private→public fallback
- gateway/platforms/slack.py: app_mention handler now forwards to
_handle_slack_message (safe due to ts-based dedup) instead of no-op pass,
fixing edge-case Slack configs where mentions arrive only as app_mention
- gateway/platforms/slack.py format_message: negative lookbehind prevents
markdown images (![]()) from becoming broken Slack links; italic regex
now requires non-whitespace boundaries so 'a * b * c' stays literal
Based on PR #9340 by @probepark.
Slack slash commands (/q, /btw, /stop, /model, etc.) previously showed
no user-visible acknowledgement and posted command replies as public
channel messages. This diverged from Discord, which uses ephemeral
deferred responses for slash commands.
Changes:
- handle_hermes_command now passes response_type='ephemeral' and a
'Running /cmd…' text to ack(), giving the user immediate 'Only visible
to you' feedback when they invoke any native slash command.
- _handle_slash_command stashes the Slack response_url from the command
payload in a per-channel context dict before dispatching to
handle_message.
- send() checks for a pending slash context and, when found, POSTs to
the response_url with replace_original=true to swap the initial ack
with the real command reply (e.g. 'Queued for the next turn.'),
keeping it ephemeral.
- Stale slash contexts are garbage-collected on lookup (120s TTL).
- The response_url POST is non-fatal: if it fails, the user already saw
the initial ack, and send() returns success=True.
