Four callsites hardcoded Path.home() / '.hermes' with no HERMES_HOME
check, breaking Docker deployments and profile isolation (hermes -p):
- plugins/hermes-achievements/dashboard/plugin_api.py:
state_path(), snapshot_path(), checkpoint_path() bare-literal paths
- scripts/profile-tui.py:
DEFAULT_STATE_DB and DEFAULT_LOG defaults ignored HERMES_HOME
- hermes_cli/slack_cli.py:
except-Exception fallback for slack-manifest.json dump
- optional-skills/migration/openclaw-migration/scripts/openclaw_to_hermes.py:
--target argparse default
Use get_hermes_home() (with an ImportError shim for the standalone
scripts) or 'os.environ.get("HERMES_HOME") or str(Path.home()/".hermes")'
where importing hermes_constants is impractical.
E2E-verified: with HERMES_HOME=/tmp/x all three achievements paths and
both profile-tui defaults route under /tmp/x.
Salvaged from #18068 (original scope was broader mechanical cleanup
claiming 23 callsites were buggy; most were already respecting
HERMES_HOME via os.environ.get(key, default) — only these 4 had no env
check at all). Credit: @web-dev0521.
_get_peer() and _get_or_create_honcho_session() accessed _peers_cache
and _sessions_cache without holding _cache_lock, while other paths
in the same class use the lock consistently. Under concurrent tool
calls or prefetch threads, this can produce stale reads or lost
cache updates.
Wrap both unguarded cache read sites in _cache_lock. Network calls
(honcho.peer() and honcho.session()) remain outside the lock to
avoid holding it during I/O.
Three int() calls in HonchoClient.from_global_config() parsed
dialecticMaxChars, messageMaxChars, and dialecticMaxInputChars
directly without guards. A malformed value in honcho.json would
raise ValueError and abort provider initialization entirely.
Add _parse_int_config() helper following the existing
_parse_context_tokens() pattern, and replace all three raw
int() calls with it.
microsoft-teams-apps 2.0.0 added the `client` option to AppOptions,
accepting a ClientOptions instance. Use it to set the User-Agent
header to "Hermes" on all outgoing HTTP requests.

Adds a deterministic pre-check on top of htsh's exception-based fallback:
before calling /content/abstract or /content/overview on a non-pseudo URI,
probe /api/v1/fs/stat. If the server says the URI is a file, route straight
to /content/read instead of eating a failing 500 round-trip.
This is the same idea pty819 and chennest independently landed in PRs
#12757 and #12937 — merged here on top of htsh's broader fix so we keep
pseudo-URI normalization and v0.3.3 browse-shape handling while avoiding
the slow exception path on servers that return a raised 500 every time.
The exception fallback from #5886 stays in place for environments where
fs/stat is unavailable or returns an unfamiliar shape.
Also credits pty819, chennest, and htsh in AUTHOR_MAP so future release
notes attribute them correctly.
OpenViking returns 500 for /content/abstract and /content/overview when URI points to mem_*.md files.
Add resilient fallback to /content/read for non-pseudo summary file URIs while preserving pseudo summary normalization.
Also add regression tests for fallback behavior.
OpenViking v0.3.3 expects directory URIs for abstract/overview reads.
Passing pseudo-files like /.overview.md and /.abstract.md to
/api/v1/content/overview|abstract triggers HTTP 500.
This change normalizes those pseudo-URIs to their parent directory for
abstract/overview requests, preserves full reads, and hardens parsing for
wrapped/unwrapped result payloads and fs list response shapes.
Replace the Azure portal credential prompts with the teams CLI
workflow: install @microsoft/teams.cli, run teams app create,
paste the output credentials. Matches the setup docs.

Pass cmd/desc in button action data so the card response can
reconstruct the original body. Clicking a button now replaces
only the actions with a status line, keeping the command and
reason text visible.

The gateway calls send_image_file() for locally cached images
(e.g. from image_gen tools). Without this override the base class
falls back to sending the file path as plain text. Delegate to
send_image() which already handles base64 encoding local paths.

Hello! I am the maintainer of the microsoft-teams-apps Python SDK and
I built this Teams adapter to integrate Microsoft Teams into Hermes.
Adds a `plugins/platforms/teams` platform plugin using the new
PlatformRegistry system from #17751. The adapter self-registers via
`register(ctx)` — no hardcoding in run.py, toolsets.py, or any
other core file.
Key features:
- Supports personal DMs, group chats, and channel posts
- Adaptive Card approval prompts with in-place button replacement
(Allow Once / Allow Session / Always Allow / Deny)
- aiohttp webhook server bridged from the Teams SDK to avoid
the fastapi/uvicorn dependency
- ConversationReference caching for correct proactive sends in
non-DM chats
- `interactive_setup()` for `hermes gateway setup` integration
- `platform_hint` for LLM context (Teams markdown subset)
- 34 tests covering adapter init, send, message handling, and
plugin registration

* feat(plugins): bundle hermes-achievements, scan full session history
Ships @PCinkusz's hermes-achievements dashboard plugin (https://github.com/PCinkusz/hermes-achievements) as a bundled plugin at plugins/hermes-achievements/ and fixes a bug in the scan path that made the plugin only see the first 200 sessions — making lifetime badges (50k tool calls, 75k errors, etc.) unreachable on long-running installs.
Changes:
- plugins/hermes-achievements/: vendor v0.3.1 verbatim (manifest, dist/, plugin_api.py, tests, docs, README).
- plugins/hermes-achievements/dashboard/plugin_api.py:
* scan_sessions(): limit=None now scans ALL sessions via SQLite LIMIT -1. Previously capped at 200, so users with 8000+ sessions saw ~2% of their history.
* evaluate_all(): first-ever scans run in a background thread so the dashboard request path never blocks. Stale snapshots serve immediately while a background refresh runs. force=True still blocks synchronously for manual /rescan.
* _build_pending_snapshot(), _start_background_scan(), _run_scan_and_update_cache(): supporting plumbing + idempotent thread spawn.
- tests/plugins/test_achievements_plugin.py: new tests covering the 200-cap regression, the background-scan first-run flow, stale-serve-plus-background-refresh, forced sync rescan, and scan-thread idempotency.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/built-in-plugins.md: lists hermes-achievements in the bundled-plugins table and documents API endpoints, state files, and performance characteristics.
E2E validated against a real 8564-session ~6.4GB state.db:
* Cold scan: 13m 19s (one-time, backgrounded — UI never blocks)
* Warm rescan: 1.47s (8563/8564 sessions reused from checkpoint cache)
* 57/60 achievements unlocked, 3 discovered — aggregates like total_tool_calls=259958, total_errors=164213, skill_events=368243 correctly surface lifetime badges that the 200-cap made unreachable.
Original credit: @PCinkusz (MIT-licensed). Upstream repo remains the staging ground for new badges; this bundle keeps the dashboard feature parity with Hermes core changes.
* feat(achievements): publish partial snapshots during cold scan
Previously a cold scan on a large session DB (13min on 8564 sessions)
showed zero badges for the entire duration, then every badge at once
when the scan completed. A dashboard refresh mid-scan was indistinguishable
from a fresh install with no history.
Now the scanner publishes a partial snapshot to _SNAPSHOT_CACHE every
250 sessions, so each refresh during a cold scan surfaces more badges
incrementally.
Mechanism:
- scan_sessions() takes an optional progress_callback fired every
progress_every sessions with (sessions_so_far, scanned, total).
- _compute_from_scan() is extracted from compute_all() and gains an
is_partial flag that skips writing to state.json — we don't want
to record unlocked_at based on a half-complete aggregate that a
later session might rebalance.
- _run_scan_and_update_cache() installs a publisher callback that
builds a partial snapshot, marks it mode='in_progress', and writes
it to the cache with age=0 so the UI keeps polling /scan-status
and picks up the final snapshot when the scan completes.
- Manual /rescan (force=True) disables partial publishing — the
caller is blocking on the final result anyway.
E2E against real 8564-session state.db (polled cache every 10s):
t=10s: cache empty
t=20s: 250/8564 scanned, 35 unlocked, 25 discovered
t=40s: 500/8564 scanned, 42 unlocked, 18 discovered
t=60s: 1000/8564 scanned, 49 unlocked, 11 discovered
...
Tests: 9/9 pass (2 new — partial snapshot publication + no-persist-on-partial).
Upstream unittest suite: 10/10 pass.
* feat(achievements): in-progress scan banner with live % progress
Previously the dashboard showed zero badges silently during long cold
scans (13min on 8564 sessions). The backend was publishing partial
snapshots every 250 sessions, but the bundled UI didn't surface any
indicator that a scan was running — it just rendered the main page
with whatever counts were currently published and no way for the user
to know more progress was coming.
UI changes (dist/index.js, dist/style.css):
- Added a scan-in-progress banner rendered between the hero and stats
when scan_meta.mode is 'pending' or 'in_progress'. Shows:
BUILDING ACHIEVEMENT PROFILE…
Scanned 1,750 of 8,564 sessions · 20%. Badges unlock as more history streams in.
with a pulsing teal indicator and a filling teal/cyan progress bar.
Disappears the moment the backend flips to 'full' or 'incremental'.
- Added an auto-poller via useEffect — while scanInFlight is true the
page re-fetches /achievements every 4s WITHOUT toggling the loading
skeleton, so unlock counts tick up visibly without the user refreshing.
The effect cleans itself up when the scan finishes.
- Added refresh() (re-fetch, no loading flip) alongside the existing
load() (full reload, used by the Rescan button).
Attribution preserved:
- Added a header comment to index.js crediting @PCinkusz
(https://github.com/PCinkusz/hermes-achievements, MIT) as the
original author, noting the banner is a layered addition on top
of the original dist bundle.
- Matching header comment in style.css, flagging the new
.ha-scan-banner* rules as the local addition.
Live-verified end to end:
- Spun up `hermes dashboard --port 9229 --no-open` against a fresh
HERMES_HOME symlinked to the real 8564-session state.db.
- Opened /achievements in a browser, confirmed the banner renders with
live progress: 'Scanned 1,000 of 8,564 sessions · 11%' → updates to
'1,250 ... · 14%' → '1,750 ... · 20%' without user interaction,
matching the backend's partial publications.
- Stats row simultaneously climbed from 35 → 49 → 53 unlocked as
more history streamed in.
- Vision analysis of the rendered page confirms the banner styling
matches the rest of the dashboard (dark card bg, teal accent, same
small-caps typography, pulsing indicator reusing ha-pulse keyframes).
Platform plugins shipped in-repo under plugins/platforms/ should be
available out of the box — users shouldn't have to add 'irc-platform'
to plugins.enabled before they can pick IRC from the gateway setup menu.
Adds a new ``kind: platform`` plugin type that mirrors the existing
``kind: backend`` auto-load semantics:
- Bundled (shipped in the hermes-agent repo): auto-load unconditionally.
- User-installed (~/.hermes/plugins/): still opt-in via plugins.enabled
so untrusted code doesn't silently run.
Changes:
* hermes_cli/plugins.py: add 'platform' to _VALID_PLUGIN_KINDS, document
the new kind in the PluginManifest docstring, extend the bundled auto-
load rule from 'backend only' to 'backend or platform'.
* plugins/platforms/irc/plugin.yaml: declare kind: platform.
* hermes_cli/gateway.py: remove the now-redundant
_load_bundled_platform_plugins_for_enumeration() helper and the
_enable_plugin_for_platform() helper. The setup menu's _all_platforms()
just calls discover_plugins() and reads the registry — bundled
platforms are already loaded at that point. Drops the 'needs_enable'
flag and the 'plugin disabled — select to enable' status string.
* hermes_cli/setup.py: relax the "gateway is configured" detector used
during OpenClaw migration. Switching to _platform_status() in an
earlier commit tightened the check to require an exact "configured"
match, dropping platforms whose status is "enabled, not paired",
"partially configured", "configured + E2EE", etc. Now any non-"not
configured" status counts — the user has already started setup there
and we shouldn't force the section to rerun.
* tests/hermes_cli/test_setup_irc.py: drop the TestIRCPluginDisabledFlow
class and test_configure_platform_enables_disabled_plugin_first — the
no-longer-existent flow they were testing.
* tests/hermes_cli/test_setup_openclaw_migration.py: patch both
setup.get_env_value and gateway.get_env_value in the 4 gateway-section
tests that reach _platform_status() through the unified setup flow;
switch WHATSAPP_ENABLED to the literal "true" in the registry-parity
test so WhatsApp's value-shape validator matches.
Verified via fresh-install smoke (empty plugins.enabled, no env vars):
IRC plugin loads, Platform('irc') resolves, _all_platforms() lists IRC
with status 'not configured'. 160 targeted tests pass.
feat(gateway): refine Platform._missing_ and platform-connected dispatch
Restricts plugin-name acceptance to bundled plugin scan + registry
(no arbitrary string -> enum-pollution), pulls per-platform connectivity
checks into a _PLATFORM_CONNECTED_CHECKERS lambda map with a clean
_is_platform_connected method, and adds tests covering the checker map,
plugin platform interface, and IRC setup wizard.
Merge the two gateway setup paths (hermes setup gateway + hermes gateway
setup) to use a single _unified_platforms() list that merges built-in
_PLATFORMS with dynamically registered plugin entries from
platform_registry.
- Add setup_fn field to PlatformEntry for plugin setup flows
- _unified_platforms() merges built-ins with registry entries by key
- setup_gateway() now uses unified list instead of hardcoded
_GATEWAY_PLATFORMS tuple list
- gateway_setup() uses same unified list, plugin entries appear
alongside built-ins with no [plugin] suffix
- _platform_status() handles plugin platforms via registry check_fn
- Plugin platforms with setup_fn get called directly; plugins without
get a generic env-var display fallback
IRC and other plugin platforms now appear automatically in the setup
menu when registered via platform_registry.register().
feat(gateway): surface disabled platform plugins in setup and auto-enable on select
Platform plugins under plugins/platforms/* (IRC, etc.) were gated behind
plugins.enabled, so `hermes gateway setup` wouldn't list them until the
user ran `hermes plugins enable <name>` first. Now the setup menu always
surfaces them as "plugin disabled — select to enable", and picking one
adds it to plugins.enabled before running its setup flow.
Along the way, unify the two gateway setup flows so `hermes setup gateway`
and `hermes gateway setup` both read from the same platform list (built-in
_PLATFORMS + platform_registry entries), dispatch through a single
_configure_platform() helper, and share _platform_status(). Deletes the
dead bespoke wrappers in setup.py (_setup_whatsapp, _setup_weixin,
_setup_email, etc.) that duplicated logic now covered by the registry
path or _setup_standard_platform.
Also:
- PlatformEntry gains a plugin_name field so the registry knows which
plugin owns each entry (required for auto-enable).
- PluginContext.register_platform auto-stamps plugin_name from the
manifest so plugins don't have to pass it explicitly.
- PluginManager now scans plugins/platforms/* as its own category root,
one level below the bundled plugin scan.
- Fix IRC plugin discovery: rename PLUGIN.yaml → plugin.yaml (the
scanner is case-sensitive) and add the missing __init__.py that
_load_directory_module requires.
Closes remaining functional gaps and adds documentation.
webhook.py: Cross-platform delivery now checks the plugin registry
for unknown platform names instead of hardcoding 15 names in a tuple.
Plugin platforms can receive webhook-routed deliveries.
prompt_builder: Platform hints (system prompt LLM guidance) now fall
back to the plugin registry's platform_hint field. Plugin platforms
can tell the LLM 'you're on IRC, no markdown.'
PlatformEntry: Added platform_hint field for LLM guidance injection.
IRC adapter: Added acquire_scoped_lock/release_scoped_lock in
connect/disconnect to prevent two profiles from using the same IRC
identity. Added platform_hint for IRC-specific LLM guidance.
Removed dead token-empty-warning extension for plugin platforms
(plugin adapters handle their own env vars via check_fn).
website/docs/developer-guide/adding-platform-adapters.md:
- Added 'Plugin Path (Recommended)' section with full code examples,
PLUGIN.yaml template, config.yaml examples, and a table showing all
18 integration points the plugin system handles automatically
- Renamed built-in checklist to clarify it's for core contributors
gateway/platforms/ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md:
- Added Plugin Path section pointing to the reference implementation
and full docs guide
- Clarified built-in path is for core contributors only
Extends the platform plugin interface from Phase 1 to cover every
touchpoint where built-in platforms have hardcoded behavior.
- allowed_users_env / allow_all_env: per-platform auth env vars
- max_message_length: smart-chunking for send_message tool
- pii_safe: session PII redaction flag
- emoji: CLI/gateway display
- allow_update_command: /update access control
send_message tool (tools/send_message_tool.py):
- Replaced hardcoded platform_map dict with Platform() call
- Added _send_via_adapter() for plugin platforms — routes through
live gateway adapter when available
- Registry-aware max message length for smart chunking
Cron delivery (cron/scheduler.py):
- Replaced hardcoded 15-entry platform_map with Platform() call
- Plugin platforms now work as cron delivery targets
User authorization (gateway/run.py _is_user_authorized):
- Registry fallback: checks PlatformEntry.allowed_users_env and
allow_all_env when platform not in hardcoded maps
- Plugin platforms get per-platform auth support
_UPDATE_ALLOWED_PLATFORMS: checks registry allow_update_command flag
Channel directory: includes plugin platforms in session enumeration
Orphaned config warning: descriptive message when plugin platform is
in config but no plugin registered it
Gateway weakref: _gateway_runner_ref for cross-module adapter access
hermes status: shows plugin platforms with (plugin) tag
hermes gateway setup: plugin platforms appear in menu with setup hints
hermes_cli/platforms.py: get_all_platforms() merges with registry,
platform_label() falls back to registry for plugin names
- 8 new tests (extended fields, cron resolution, platforms merge)
- Updated 3 tests for new Platform() based resolution
- 2829 passed, 24 pre-existing failures, zero new failures
Adds a platform adapter plugin interface so anyone can create new gateway
platforms (IRC, Viber, Line, etc.) as drop-in plugins without modifying
core gateway code.
- PlatformEntry dataclass: name, label, adapter_factory, check_fn,
validate_config, required_env, install_hint, source
- PlatformRegistry singleton with register/unregister/create_adapter
- _create_adapter() in gateway/run.py checks registry first, falls
through to existing if/elif chain for built-in platforms
- Platform._missing_() accepts unknown string values, creating cached
pseudo-members so Platform('irc') is Platform('irc') holds true
- GatewayConfig.from_dict() now parses plugin platform names from
config.yaml without rejecting them
- get_connected_platforms() delegates to registry for unknown platforms
- PluginContext.register_platform() for plugin authors
- Mirrors the existing register_tool() / register_hook() pattern
- Full async IRC adapter using stdlib asyncio (zero external deps)
- Connects via TLS, handles PING/PONG, nick collision, NickServ auth
- Channel messages require addressing (nick: msg), DMs always dispatch
- Markdown stripping for IRC-clean output, message splitting for
512-byte line limit
- Config via config.yaml extra dict or IRC_* env vars
- Platform enum dynamic members (identity stability, case normalization)
- PlatformRegistry (register, unregister, create, validation, factory)
- GatewayConfig integration (from_dict parsing, get_connected_platforms)
- IRC adapter (init, send, protocol parsing, markdown, requirements)
No existing platform adapters were migrated — the if/elif chain is
untouched. This is Phase 1: prove the interface with a real plugin.
Follow-up to the cherry-picked PR #17447. The original flush spawned a
bare threading.Thread for the buffer-flush path, overwriting
self._sync_thread — which is aliased to the long-lived writer thread.
Two consequences:
1. No serialization with the writer queue. If old-session retains were
still queued in _retain_queue, the flush ran concurrently with the
writer and both threads could call aretain_batch against the same
document_id.
2. The pre-spawn 'self._sync_thread.join(timeout=5.0)' tried to join the
long-lived writer, which never exits, so the join was a no-op that
just timed out — never actually serialized anything.
Fix: enqueue the flush closure on _retain_queue via _ensure_writer +
put(). Natural FIFO ordering behind any pending retains, no new thread,
no broken join. Shutdown-aware so it doesn't enqueue after teardown.
Tests updated to drain via _retain_queue.join() instead of the stale
_sync_thread.join(). Added regression guard
test_flush_serializes_behind_pending_retains_via_writer_queue that
blocks the writer mid-retain to prove the flush waits in FIFO behind
the old retain.
Also seeds _retain_queue / _shutting_down / stubbed _ensure_writer on
the bare-object test helper in test_memory_session_switch.py so that
path doesn't blow up under the new queue-enqueue.
tests/plugins/memory/test_hindsight_provider.py + tests/agent/test_memory_session_switch.py: 103/103 passing.
Two data-loss / leak gaps in HindsightMemoryProvider.on_session_switch
introduced by #17409.
1. Buffered turns silently lost when retain_every_n_turns > 1.
on_session_switch unconditionally cleared _session_turns without
flushing. Users who batched every N>1 turns and switched mid-batch
(/reset, /new, /resume, /branch, or context compression) had those
buffered turns disappear. Same data-loss class as the shutdown race,
different lifecycle event.
Note commit_memory_session() -> on_session_end() runs *before*
on_session_switch on /reset, but Hindsight doesn't implement
on_session_end so the buffer survives that step and dies at clear
time. /resume, /branch, and compression skip commit_memory_session
entirely so an on_session_end impl wouldn't help them anyway.
Fix: snapshot the old _session_id, _document_id, _parent_session_id,
_turn_index, and _session_turns; spawn one final retain that lands
under the OLD document_id; then rotate state. Metadata is built
synchronously against the old self._* so session_id / lineage tags
on the flushed item all reference the prior session consistently.
2. Stale _prefetch_result leaks across switch.
If queue_prefetch ran in the old session and the result hadn't been
consumed by prefetch() yet, on_session_switch left the cached recall
text in place. The next session's first prefetch() call would return
text mined from the prior session's bank/query.
Fix: join any in-flight _prefetch_thread (3s bounded — matches
shutdown()), then clear _prefetch_result under _prefetch_lock before
rotating session_id.
Tests
-----
- tests/plugins/memory/test_hindsight_provider.py (TestSessionSwitchBufferFlush):
- buffered turns flushed under OLD document_id with OLD lineage tags
- empty buffer => no spurious retain
- _prefetch_result cleared on switch
- in-flight prefetch thread is awaited before clear (no race)
- tests/agent/test_memory_session_switch.py: factory extended to seed the
attrs the new flush path reads (_retain_source, _platform, _bank_id,
prefetch state, etc.) and stub _run_hindsight_operation so existing
switch-state assertions keep passing without network setup.
The plugin used to spawn one daemon thread per sync_turn() to do the
aretain_batch network write. On CLI exit, that pattern raced interpreter
shutdown — the last retain could reach aiohttp after asyncio's
"cannot schedule new futures" guard had fired, producing noisy logs and
silently losing the final unsaved turn:
WARNING ... Hindsight sync failed: cannot schedule new futures after
interpreter shutdown
ERROR asyncio: Unclosed client session
client_session: <aiohttp.client.ClientSession object at 0x...>
Switch to a single-writer model: each provider owns one long-lived
writer thread plus a queue. sync_turn() snapshots state and enqueues a
job; the writer drains sequentially. Once shutdown() is called:
- new sync_turn() / queue_prefetch() calls are dropped, not enqueued
- a sentinel wakes the writer so it finishes in-flight work
- shutdown joins the writer (10s) before nulling the client
Also register an idempotent atexit hook from the first sync_turn(), so
exit paths that don't go through MemoryManager.shutdown_all() (Ctrl-C,
abrupt exit) still get a chance to drain.
Tests: keep _sync_thread as a legacy alias to the writer, swap join()
calls to _retain_queue.join() (canonical wait-for-drain), add a new
TestShutdownRace suite covering single-writer reuse, post-shutdown drop,
queue draining, and shutdown idempotency.
Fixes#6672
Memory providers now receive on_session_switch() whenever AIAgent.session_id
rotates mid-process — /resume, /branch, /reset, /new, and context
compression. Before this, providers that cached per-session state in
initialize() (Hindsight's _session_id, _document_id, accumulated
_session_turns, _turn_counter) kept writing into the old session's
record after the agent had moved on.
MemoryProvider ABC
------------------
- New optional hook on_session_switch(new_session_id, *,
parent_session_id='', reset=False, **kwargs) with no-op default for
backward compat. reset=True signals /reset or /new — providers should
flush accumulated per-session buffers. reset=False for /resume,
/branch, compression where the logical conversation continues.
MemoryManager
-------------
- on_session_switch() fans the hook out to every registered provider.
Isolated try/except per provider — one bad provider can't block others.
- Empty/None new_session_id is a no-op to avoid corrupting provider state
during shutdown paths.
run_agent.py
------------
- _sync_external_memory_for_turn now passes session_id=self.session_id
into sync_all() and queue_prefetch_all(). Providers with defensive
session_id updates in sync_turn (Hindsight already had this at
plugins/memory/hindsight/__init__.py:1199) now actually receive the
current id.
- Compression block at ~L8884 already notified the context engine of
the rollover; now also calls
_memory_manager.on_session_switch(reason='compression').
cli.py
------
- new_session() fires reset=True, reason='new_session' so providers
flush buffers.
- _handle_resume_command fires reset=False, reason='resume' with the
previous session as parent_session_id.
- _handle_branch_command fires reset=False, reason='branch' with the
parent session_id already captured for the DB parent link.
gateway/run.py
--------------
- _handle_resume_command now evicts the cached AIAgent, mirroring
/branch and /reset. The next message rebuilds a fresh agent whose
memory provider initialize() runs with the correct session_id —
matches the pattern the gateway already uses for provider state
cross-session transitions.
Hindsight reference implementation
----------------------------------
- plugins/memory/hindsight/__init__.py adds on_session_switch that:
updates _session_id, mints a fresh _document_id (prevents
vectorize-io/hindsight#1303 overwrite), and clears _session_turns /
_turn_counter / _turn_index so in-flight batches don't flush under
the new document id. parent_session_id only overwritten when provided
(avoids clobbering on a bare switch).
Tests
-----
- tests/agent/test_memory_session_switch.py: new dedicated file. ABC
default no-op, manager fan-out, failure isolation, empty-id no-op,
session_id propagation through sync_all/queue_prefetch_all, Hindsight
state transitions for every reset/non-reset case, parent preservation.
- tests/cli/test_branch_command.py: new test verifying /branch fires
the hook with correct parent_session_id + reset=False + reason.
- tests/gateway/test_resume_command.py: new test verifying /resume
evicts the cached agent.
- tests/run_agent/test_memory_sync_interrupted.py: updated existing
assertions to account for the session_id kwarg on sync_all and
queue_prefetch_all.
E2E verified (real imports, tmp HERMES_HOME):
- /resume: session_id updates, doc_id fresh, buffers cleared, parent set
- /branch: session_id forks, parent links to original
- /new: reset=True clears accumulated state
- compression: reason='compression' propagated, lineage preserved
- Empty id: no-op, state preserved
- Legacy provider without on_session_switch: no crash

The helper supports non-literal keys too, so e.g.
cfg.get('hosts', {}).get(HOST, {})
becomes
cfg_get(cfg, 'hosts', HOST, default={})
Migration bugs caught and fixed during this PR:
1. An AST-based batch rewrite naïvely captured the first word token in
a chain, which corrupted 'self._config.get(...).get(...)' into
'self.cfg_get(_config, ...)' (dropping 'self.', creating a broken
method call). Plugins/memory/hindsight caught it via its test suite.
Fixed manually to 'cfg_get(self._config, ...)'.
2. Import-extension heuristic rewrote multi-line parenthesized imports
('from X import (\n A,\n B,\n)') as
'from X import cfg_get, (' — syntactically broken. Fixed by inserting
cfg_get as the first name inside the parentheses.
Combined with PR #17304, the cfg_get migration now covers:
PR #17304 (first batch): 20 sites in tools/ + gateway/
PR #17317 (this one): 33 sites in hermes_cli/ + plugins/ + run_agent.py
Total: 53 sites migrated. Remaining ~8 sites are either:
- Function-call chains (e.g. '_load_stt_config().get(...).get(...)')
that would need double-evaluation or a local binding to migrate
cleanly — intentionally deferred.
- JSON response-navigation (e.g. 'response_data.get('data',{}).get('web'))
which is unrelated to config access and shouldn't use cfg_get.
Verified:
- 412/412 tests/plugins/ pass (including the hindsight test that caught
the self.X regex bug before commit)
- 3181/3189 tests/hermes_cli/ pass (8 pre-existing failures on main,
verified by git-stash comparison)
- Live 'hermes status' and 'hermes config' render correctly (exercise
the migrated terminal.backend, tts.provider, browser.cloud_provider,
compression.threshold, display.tool_progress sites)
- Live 'hermes chat': 1 turn + /quit, zero errors in 11-line log window
No semantic changes — cfg_get was already proven to be a 1:1 match for
the original .get("X",{}).get("Y",default) pattern in PR #17304.
Opt-in Langfuse tracing for Hermes conversations — LLM calls, tool
usage, usage/cost breakdown per span. Hooks into pre/post_api_request,
pre/post_llm_call, pre/post_tool_call. SDK is optional; missing SDK or
credentials renders the plugin inert.
Salvaged from PR #16845 by @kshitijk4poor, who wrote the plugin
(~875 LOC, 6 hooks, Langfuse usage-details/cost-details normalization,
read_file payload summarization).
Salvage scope (why this isn't PR #16845 as-authored):
- Lives at plugins/observability/langfuse/ (standalone kind, opt-in via
plugins.enabled) instead of a new parallel optional-plugins/
directory. Standalone bundled plugins are already opt-in — only their
plugin.yaml is scanned at startup; the Python module is not imported
unless the user enables it. The premise of optional-plugins/ (avoid
import cost for users who don't want it) is already solved by the
existing plugin system.
- Dropped the triple activation gate (plugins.enabled +
plugins.langfuse.enabled + HERMES_LANGFUSE_ENABLED). The Hermes plugin
system's own enable/disable is authoritative; runtime credentials
gate whether the hook actually traces.
- Rewrote _is_enabled() → cached _get_langfuse() with an _INIT_FAILED
sentinel. The original called hermes_cli.config.load_config() from
every hook invocation (full yaml parse + deep merge + env expansion
on every pre/post_tool_call, potentially 100+ times per turn). The
cached version reads env once and returns the cached client or None
on every subsequent call with zero further work.
- hermes tools → Langfuse Observability post-setup adds
observability/langfuse to plugins.enabled directly (via
_save_enabled_set) instead of going through an install-copy flow.
Enable:
hermes tools # interactive
hermes plugins enable observability/langfuse # manual
Required env (set by `hermes tools` or in ~/.hermes/.env):
HERMES_LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY
HERMES_LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY
HERMES_LANGFUSE_BASE_URL # optional

Closed PR #5137 addressed the retrieval path (peer cards via get_card()
instead of the session-scoped lookup that returned empty for per-session
messaging flows) — that architectural fix is already in main as
_fetch_peer_card / _fetch_peer_context.
What never got fixed is the user-visible side: honcho_profile returning
a flat 'No profile facts available yet.' leaves the model to guess at
why. The model then often surfaces it to the user as a cryptic error.
Adds a diagnostic hint next to the existing 'result' message, enumerating
the likely causes in rough order of frequency:
1. Observation disabled for this peer (user_observe_me/others off)
2. Peer card hasn't accumulated yet (fresh peer / dialectic cadence
hasn't fired enough turns — cards build over time)
3. Generic fallback: self-hosted Honcho < 3.x lacks peer cards
The hint also suggests alternative tools (honcho_reasoning / honcho_search)
so the model can route around the empty card rather than giving up.
Schema description updated so the model knows the hint field exists and
that an empty card is NOT an error state.
7 tests cover the hint paths: warmup, observation-disabled for user + ai,
generic fallback, populated card still returns plain result (no hint),
alternative-tool suggestion present.
The scheme-validation commit (e77a3f2c) was too strict: a user with
legacy ''baseUrl: localhost:8000'' (no ''http://'' prefix) in their
''~/.honcho/config.json'' would get ''No API key configured'' from the
CLI after that change, even though their setup worked before.
urlparse on a schemeless host:port treats the host segment as the
scheme and leaves netloc empty, so the http/https check rejected it.
Falls back to a lenient check for schemeless strings that look like
hosts: contain '.' or ':', aren't a boolean/null literal, aren't pure
digits. The SDK still rejects truly malformed URLs at connect time
with a clearer error than ours.
Three new tests: legacy schemeless hosts accepted; obvious garbage
literals (''true'', ''null'', ''12345'') still rejected. Reviewer
noted concern #1: schemeless regression for self-hosters with old
configs.
main's 6a957a74 added an optional 'metadata' kwarg to
MemoryProvider.on_memory_write so providers can distinguish tool-driven
memory writes from background-review writes. MemoryManager already
does a getfullargspec-based introspection, so the old 3-arg signature
didn't break at runtime — but it missed the origin hint entirely.
Updates HonchoMemoryProvider.on_memory_write to accept the kwarg. The
metadata isn't yet threaded into Honcho's create_conclusion payload —
that's worth its own PR once the consolidation lands and the new
metadata shape stabilises.
Two small follow-ups to the PR review:
- Hoist hashlib import from _enforce_session_id_limit() to module top.
stdlib imports are free after first cache, but keeping all imports at
module top matches the rest of the codebase.
- _resolve_api_key now URL-parses baseUrl and requires http/https +
non-empty netloc before returning the 'local' sentinel. A typo like
baseUrl: 'true' (or bare 'localhost') no longer silently passes the
credential guard; the CLI correctly reports 'not configured'.
Three new tests cover the new validation (garbage strings, non-http
schemes, valid https).
new_session() was popping the old cached session, releasing the lock,
calling get_or_create, then re-acquiring the lock to insert. A concurrent
caller could observe the empty-cache window and race-create its own
session, producing two divergent session objects for the same key.
_cache_lock is an RLock, so nested reacquisition inside get_or_create is
safe. Hold it across the whole pop/create/insert sequence.
Follow-up to #13510 (@hekaru-agent).
When no explicit timeout is configured (HonchoClientConfig.timeout,
honcho.timeout / requestTimeout, or HONCHO_TIMEOUT), get_honcho_client
previously constructed the SDK with no timeout kwarg, letting the
underlying httpx client hang indefinitely if the Honcho backend
became unreachable mid-request.
This is a silent-failure hazard on the post-response path of
run_conversation: the memory_manager.sync_all() / queue_prefetch_all()
calls fire after the agent has already generated its final reply, so
a stalled Honcho request blocks run_conversation from returning.
The gateway never logs "response ready" and never delivers the
response to the platform (Telegram, etc.), even though the text is
already saved to the session file.
Repro: unplug the network or block app.honcho.dev mid-turn after
the model has produced its final message. Without this change,
_run_agent never returns. With it, the call aborts after 30s,
run_conversation returns, and the gateway delivers the response
(Honcho sync failure is logged and swallowed as before).
The default applies only when nothing is configured, so any
deployment that has explicitly set timeout / HONCHO_TIMEOUT /
honcho.timeout / honcho.requestTimeout keeps its existing value.
Self-hosted deployments that genuinely need a longer ceiling can
still override via any of those knobs.
_resolve_api_key() only checks for apiKey / HONCHO_API_KEY, so all
CLI subcommands (identity --show, status, migrate, etc.) bail with
"No API key configured" on self-hosted instances that use baseUrl
without an API key.
Return "local" when baseUrl or HONCHO_BASE_URL is set, matching the
client.py behavior that already handles this case for the SDK.
Tested on: macOS, self-hosted Honcho (Docker, localhost:8000).
Wraps _session_cache mutations in threading.RLock. Without this, concurrent
gateway sessions (e.g., Telegram + Discord hitting Honcho at the same time)
can race on the cache and silently lose conclusions or memory writes.
Adopted from #13510 by @hekaru-agent; the off-topic cron/jobs.py cleanup
hunk from that PR is dropped here for scope isolation. Resolved a small
conflict with the pinPeerName guard (kept both).
Gateway session keys (Matrix "!room:server" + thread event IDs, Telegram
supergroup reply chains, Slack thread IDs with long workspace prefixes) can
exceed Honcho's 100-character session ID limit after sanitization. Every
Honcho API call for those sessions then 400s with "session_id too long".
Add a helper that enforces the 100-char limit after sanitization:
short keys (the common case) short-circuit unchanged; over-limit keys
keep a prefix and append a deterministic `-<8 hex>` SHA-256 suffix over
the original key so two long keys sharing a leading segment can't
collide onto the same truncated ID.
Adds 7 regression tests in tests/honcho_plugin/test_client.py covering
short / exact-limit / long / deterministic / collision-resistant /
allowlist-preserving / hash-suffix-present cases.
CI caught that ``test_session_manager_prefers_runtime_user_id_over_config_peer_name``
in ``tests/agent/test_memory_user_id.py`` failed after this branch: that
test passes a ``MagicMock`` for ``config``, where
``mock.pin_peer_name`` silently returns another ``MagicMock`` — truthy by
default. My ``getattr(..., "pin_peer_name", False)`` fallback was
supposed to guard against callers that haven't added the new attr, but
MagicMock *does* have the attr — it just returns a live mock for it.
Tightened the gate to ``getattr(..., False) is True``. Real configs
built via ``HonchoClientConfig.from_global_config`` always yield a
proper boolean, so strict equality matches the pinned case and rejects
both the unset-attr fallback and MagicMock stand-ins. Added a comment
explaining why ``is True`` is intentional, not paranoid.
Also tightened the ``peer_name`` existence check to
``getattr(..., None)`` so a MagicMock with ``peer_name`` left at its
default (also truthy) doesn't spuriously enable pinning either.
Verified against both the new ``test_pin_peer_name.py`` suite (13/13
pass) and the previously-failing
``TestHonchoUserIdScoping`` (3/3 pass). Zero behaviour change for real
``HonchoClientConfig`` values.

When a gateway drives Hermes (Telegram, Discord, Slack, ...), it passes the
platform-native user ID as ``runtime_user_peer_name`` into the Honcho
session manager. That ID wins over ``peer_name`` in ``honcho.json``, so a
single user who connects over three platforms ends up as three separate
Honcho peers — one per platform — with fragmented memory and no cross-
platform context continuity.
For multi-user bots this is correct (and must not change): each user gets
their own peer scope. For the vast majority of personal Hermes deployments
the configured ``peer_name`` is an unambiguous identity, though, so the
reporter asked for an opt-in knob that pins the user peer to that value.
Fix: new ``pinPeerName`` boolean on the host config, default ``false``.
When ``true`` AND ``peerName`` is set, the configured peer_name beats the
gateway's runtime identity; every other resolution case is unchanged.
honcho.json:
{
"peerName": "Igor",
"hosts": {
"hermes": { "pinPeerName": true }
}
}
session.py (resolution order, pinned case):
runtime_user_peer_name → skipped (opt-in flag active)
config.peer_name → WINS "Igor"
session-key fallback → unreached
Parsing follows the same host-block-overrides-root pattern as every other
flag in HonchoClientConfig.from_global_config (``_resolve_bool`` helper).
Tests (tests/honcho_plugin/test_pin_peer_name.py — 13 cases, 5 groups):
- Config parsing: default, root true, host-block true, host overrides
root, explicit false.
- Peer resolution: runtime wins by default (regression guard for multi-
user bots), config wins when pinned, pin-without-peer_name is a no-op
(prevents silent peer-id collapse to session-key fallback), CLI path
where runtime is absent, deepest fallback intact, assistant peer
untouched by the flag.
- Cross-platform unification: Telegram UID + Discord snowflake collapse
to one peer when pinned; negative control confirms two distinct
runtime IDs still produce two peers when unpinned.
244 honcho_plugin tests pass, 3 pre-existing skips, zero regressions.
Defensive detail: session.py uses ``getattr(self._config, "pin_peer_name",
False)`` so callers building partial config objects (several test fixtures
across the codebase do this) don't break if they haven't updated yet.
Runtime cost: one attr lookup per new session.

* feat(plugins): google_meet — bundled plugin for join+transcribe Meet calls
v1 shipping transcribe-only. Spawns headless Chromium via Playwright,
joins an explicit https://meet.google.com/ URL, enables live captions,
and scrapes them into a transcript file the agent can read across turns.
The agent then has the meeting content in context and can do followup
work (send recap, file issues, schedule followups) with its regular tools.
Surface:
- Tools: meet_join, meet_status, meet_transcript, meet_leave, meet_say
(meet_say is a v1 stub — returns not-implemented; v2 will wire
realtime duplex audio via OpenAI Realtime / Gemini Live +
BlackHole / PulseAudio null-sink.)
- CLI: hermes meet setup | auth | join | status | transcript | stop
- Lifecycle: on_session_end auto-leaves any still-running bot.
Safety:
- URL regex rejects anything that isn't https://meet.google.com/...
- No calendar scanning, no auto-dial, no auto-consent announcement.
- Single active meeting per install; a second meet_join leaves the first.
- Platform-gated to Linux + macOS (Windows audio routing for v2 untested).
- Opt-in: standalone plugin, user must add 'google_meet' to
plugins.enabled in config.yaml.
Zero core changes. Plugin uses existing register_tool /
register_cli_command / register_hook surfaces. 21 new unit tests cover the
URL safety gate, transcript dedup + status round-trip, process-manager
refusals/start/stop paths, tool-handler JSON shape under each branch,
session-end cleanup, and platform-gated register().
* feat(plugins/google_meet): v2 realtime audio + v3 remote node host
v2 \u2014 agent speaks in-meeting
audio_bridge.py: PulseAudio null-sink (Linux) + BlackHole probe (macOS).
On Linux we load pactl module-null-sink + module-virtual-source, track
module ids for teardown; Chrome gets PULSE_SOURCE=<virt src> env so its
fake mic reads what we write to the sink. macOS just probes BlackHole
2ch and returns its device name \u2014 the plugin refuses to switch the
user's default audio input (that would surprise them).
realtime/openai_client.py: sync WebSocket client for the OpenAI Realtime
API. RealtimeSession.speak(text) sends conversation.item.create +
response.create, accumulates response.audio.delta PCM bytes, appends
them to a file. RealtimeSpeaker runs a JSONL-queue loop consuming
meet_say calls. 'websockets' is an optional dep imported lazily.
meet_bot.py: when HERMES_MEET_MODE=realtime, provisions AudioBridge,
starts RealtimeSession + speaker thread, spawns paplay to pump PCM
into the null-sink, then cleans everything up on SIGTERM. If any
realtime setup step fails, falls back cleanly to transcribe mode
with an error flagged in status.json.
process_manager.enqueue_say(): writes a JSONL line to say_queue.jsonl;
refuses when no active meeting or active meeting is transcribe-only.
tools.meet_say: real implementation; requires active mode='realtime'.
meet_join: adds mode='transcribe'|'realtime' param.
v3 \u2014 remote node host
node/protocol.py: JSON envelope (type, id, token, payload) + validate.
node/registry.py: $HERMES_HOME/workspace/meetings/nodes.json, with
resolve() auto-selecting the sole registered node when name is None.
node/server.py: NodeServer \u2014 websockets.serve, bearer-token auth,
dispatches start_bot/stop/status/transcript/say/ping onto the local
process_manager. Token auto-generated + persisted on first run.
node/client.py: NodeClient \u2014 short-lived sync WS per RPC, raises
RuntimeError on error envelopes, clean API matching the server.
node/cli.py: 'hermes meet node {run,list,approve,remove,status,ping}'
subtree; wired into the main meet CLI by cli.py so 'hermes meet node'
Just Works.
tools.py: every meet_* tool accepts node='<name>'|'auto'; when set,
routes through NodeClient to the remote bot instead of running
locally. Unknown node \u2192 clear 'no registered meet node matches ...'
error.
cli.py: 'hermes meet join --node my-mac --mode realtime' and
'hermes meet say "..." --node my-mac' route to the node; 'hermes
meet node approve <name> <url> <token>' registers one.
Tests
21 v1 tests updated (meet_say is no longer a stub; active-record now
carries mode).
20 new audio_bridge + realtime tests.
42 new node tests (protocol/registry/server/client/cli).
17 new v1/v2/v3 integration tests at the plugin level covering
enqueue_say edge cases, env var passthrough, mode validation, node
routing (known/unknown/auto/ambiguous), and argparse wiring for
`hermes meet say` + `hermes meet node` + --mode/--node flags.
Total: 100 plugin tests + 58 plugin-system tests = 158 passing.
E2E verified on Linux with fresh HERMES_HOME: plugin loads, 5 tools
register, on_session_end hook wires, 'hermes meet' CLI tree wires
including the node subtree, NodeRegistry round-trips, meet_join routes
correctly to NodeClient under node='my-mac' with mode='realtime',
enqueue_say accepts realtime/rejects transcribe, argparse parses every
new flag cleanly.
Zero changes to core. All new code lives under plugins/google_meet/.
* feat(plugins/google_meet): auto-install, admission detect, mac PCM pump, barge-in, richer status
Ready-for-live-test follow-up on PR #16364. Five additions that matter for
the first live run on a real Meet, in priority order:
1. hermes meet install [--realtime] [--yes]
pip install playwright websockets + python -m playwright install chromium
--realtime: installs platform audio deps (pulseaudio-utils on Linux via
sudo apt, blackhole-2ch + ffmpeg on macOS via brew). Prompts before
sudo/brew unless --yes. Refuses on Windows. Refuses to auto-flip the
macOS default input — user still selects BlackHole in System Settings
(deliberate; surprise audio rerouting is worse than a manual step).
2. Admission detection
_detect_admission(page): Leave-button visible OR caption region
attached OR participants list present → we're in-call.
_detect_denied(page): 'You can\'t join this video call' / 'You were
removed' / 'No one responded to your request' → bail out.
HERMES_MEET_LOBBY_TIMEOUT (default 300s) caps how long we sit in
the lobby before giving up. in_call stays False until admitted.
Status surfaces leaveReason: duration_expired | lobby_timeout |
denied | page_closed.
3. macOS PCM pump
ffmpeg reads speaker.pcm (24kHz s16le mono) and writes to the
BlackHole AVFoundation output via -f audiotoolbox
-audio_device_index <N>. _mac_audio_device_index() probes
ffmpeg -f avfoundation -list_devices true to resolve 'BlackHole 2ch'
→ numeric index. Falls back to index 0 on probe failure. Linux
paplay pump unchanged.
4. Richer status dict
_BotState now tracks realtime, realtimeReady, realtimeDevice,
audioBytesOut, lastAudioOutAt, lastBargeInAt, joinAttemptedAt,
leaveReason. RealtimeSession.audio_bytes_out / last_audio_out_at
counters fold into the status file once a second so meet_status()
can show the agent's voice activity in near-real-time.
5. Barge-in
RealtimeSession.cancel_response() sends type='response.cancel' over
the same WS (lock-guarded so it's safe to call from the caption
thread while speak() is reading frames). Handles response.cancelled
as a terminal frame type. _looks_like_human_speaker() gates triggers
so the bot's own name, 'You', 'Unknown', and blanks don't self-cancel.
Called from the caption drain loop: when a new caption arrives
attributed to a real participant while rt.session exists, we fire
cancel_response() and stamp lastBargeInAt.
Tests: 20 new unit tests across _BotState telemetry, barge-in gating,
admission/denied probe error handling, cancel_response with and without
a connected WS, and `hermes meet install` CLI wiring (flag parsing +
end-to-end subprocess.run verification + Linux-already-installed fast
path). Total 171 passing across all google_meet test files + the
plugin-system regression suite.
E2E verified on Linux: plugin loads, all 5 tools register,
`hermes meet install --realtime --yes` parses, fresh-bot status.json
has every new telemetry key, cancel_response on a disconnected session
returns False without raising, barge-in helper gates the bot's own
name correctly.
Still out of scope (for a future PR, not blocking live test):
mic → Realtime duplex (the agent listening to meeting audio via
WebRTC), node-host TLS/pairing UX, Windows audio, Meet create+Twilio.
Docs updated: SKILL.md now lists the installer subcommand, lobby
timeout, barge-in caveat, and the full status-dict reference table.
README.md quick-start uses hermes meet install.
HindsightEmbedded.close() delegates to its sync client.close(). When Hermes
created/used that client on the shared async loop, closing it from the main
thread raises 'attached to a different loop' before aiohttp releases the
session — so the ClientSession / TCPConnector leak past provider teardown.
Close the embedded inner async client on the shared loop first via
_run_sync(inner_client.aclose()), then let the wrapper's sync close()
do its daemon/UI bookkeeping.
Salvage of #14605: test placement rebased — appended TestShutdown class
after TestSharedEventLoopLifecycle (which landed on main after the PR was
written). Original author attribution preserved.
The AIAgent.flush_memories pre-compression save, the gateway
_flush_memories_for_session, and everything feeding them are
obsolete now that the background memory/skill review handles
persistent memory extraction.
Problems with flush_memories:
- Pre-dates the background review loop. It was the only memory-save
path when introduced; the background review now fires every 10 user
turns on CLI and gateway alike, which is far more frequent than
compression or session reset ever triggered flush.
- Blocking and synchronous. Pre-compression flush ran on the live agent
before compression, blocking the user-visible response.
- Cache-breaking. Flush built a temporary conversation prefix
(system prompt + memory-only tool list) that diverged from the live
conversation's cached prefix, invalidating prompt caching. The
gateway variant spawned a fresh AIAgent with its own clean prompt
for each finalized session — still cache-breaking, just in a
different process.
- Redundant. Background review runs in the live conversation's
session context, gets the same content, writes to the same memory
store, and doesn't break the cache. Everything flush_memories
claimed to preserve is already covered.
What this removes:
- AIAgent.flush_memories() method (~248 LOC in run_agent.py)
- Pre-compression flush call in _compress_context
- flush_memories call sites in cli.py (/new + exit)
- GatewayRunner._flush_memories_for_session + _async_flush_memories
(and the 3 call sites: session expiry watcher, /new, /resume)
- 'flush_memories' entry from DEFAULT_CONFIG auxiliary tasks,
hermes tools UI task list, auxiliary_client docstrings
- _memory_flush_min_turns config + init
- #15631's headroom-deduction math in
_check_compression_model_feasibility (headroom was only needed
because flush dragged the full main-agent system prompt along;
the compression summariser sends a single user-role prompt so
new_threshold = aux_context is safe again)
- The dedicated test files and assertions that exercised
flush-specific paths
What this renames (with read-time backcompat on sessions.json):
- SessionEntry.memory_flushed -> SessionEntry.expiry_finalized.
The session-expiry watcher still uses the flag to avoid re-running
finalize/eviction on the same expired session; the new name
reflects what it now actually gates. from_dict() reads
'expiry_finalized' first, falls back to the legacy 'memory_flushed'
key so existing sessions.json files upgrade seamlessly.
Supersedes #15631 and #15638.
Tested: 383 targeted tests pass across run_agent/, agent/, cli/,
and gateway/ session-boundary suites. No behavior regressions —
background memory review continues to handle persistent memory
extraction on both CLI and gateway.
* fix(terminal): three-layer defense against watch_patterns notification spam
Background processes that stack notify_on_complete=True with watch_patterns
can flood the user with duplicate, delayed notifications — matches deliver
asynchronously via the completion queue and continue arriving minutes after
the process has exited. The docstring warning against this (PR #12113) has
proven insufficient; agents still misuse the combination.
Three layered defenses, each sufficient on its own:
1. Mutual exclusion (terminal_tool.py): When both flags are set on a
background process, drop watch_patterns with a warning. notify_on_complete
wins because 'let me know when it's done' is the more useful signal and
fires exactly once. Extracted as _resolve_notification_flag_conflict() so
the rule is testable in isolation.
2. Suppress-after-exit (process_registry.py): _check_watch_patterns() now
bails the moment session.exited is True. Post-exit chunks (buffered reads
draining after the process is gone) no longer produce notifications. This
is the fix flagged as future work in session 20260418_020302_79881c.
3. Global circuit breaker (process_registry.py): Per-session rate limits don't
catch the sibling-flood case — N concurrent processes can each stay under
8/10s and still collectively spam. New WATCH_GLOBAL_MAX_PER_WINDOW=15 cap
trips a 30-second cooldown across ALL sessions, emits a single
watch_overflow_tripped event, silently counts dropped events, and emits a
watch_overflow_released summary when the cooldown ends.
Also updates the tool schema + docstring to document the new behavior.
Tests: 8 new tests covering all three fixes (suppress-after-exit x2,
mutual-exclusion resolver x4, global breaker trip/cooldown/release x2).
All 60 tests across test_watch_patterns.py, test_notify_on_complete.py,
test_terminal_tool.py pass.
Real-world trigger: self-inflicted in session 20260425_051924 — three
concurrent hermes-sweeper review subprocesses each set watch_patterns=
['failed validation', 'errored'] AND notify_on_complete=True, then iterated
over multiple items, producing enough matches per process to defeat the
per-session cap while staying under the global cap that didn't yet exist.
* fix(terminal): aggressive 1-per-15s watch_patterns rate limit + strike-3 promotion
Per Teknium's direction, the watch_patterns rate limit is now much more
aggressive and self-healing.
## New rule — per session
- HARD cap: 1 watch-match notification per 15 seconds per process.
- Any match arriving inside the cooldown window is dropped and counts as
ONE strike for that window (many drops in the same window still = 1 strike).
- After 3 consecutive strike windows, watch_patterns is permanently disabled
for the session and the session is auto-promoted to notify_on_complete
semantics — exactly one notification when the process actually exits.
- A cooldown window that expires with zero drops resets the consecutive
strike counter — healthy cadence is forgiven.
## Schema + docstring rewritten
The tool schema description now gives the model explicit guidance:
- notify_on_complete is 'the right choice for almost every long-running task'
- watch_patterns is for RARE one-shot signals on LONG-LIVED processes
- Do NOT use watch_patterns with loops/batch jobs — error patterns fire every
iteration and will hit the strike limit fast
- Mutual exclusion is stated on both parameter descriptions
- 1/15s cooldown and 3-strike promotion are stated in the watch_patterns
description so the model sees the contract every turn
## Removed
- WATCH_MAX_PER_WINDOW (8/10s) and WATCH_OVERLOAD_KILL_SECONDS (45) — the
new 1/15s limit subsumes both; keeping them would double-count.
- _watch_window_hits / _watch_window_start / _watch_overload_since fields
on ProcessSession. Replaced by _watch_last_emit_at / _watch_cooldown_until
/ _watch_strike_candidate / _watch_consecutive_strikes.
## Kept
- Global circuit breaker across all sessions (15/10s → 30s cooldown) as a
secondary safety net for concurrent siblings. Still valuable when 20
short-lived processes each fire once — none individually violates the
per-session limit.
- Suppress-after-exit guard.
- Mutual exclusion resolver at the tool entry point.
## Tests
- 6 new tests in TestPerSessionRateLimit covering: first match delivers,
second in cooldown suppressed, multi-drop = single strike, 3 strikes
disables + promotes, clean window resets counter, suppressed count
carried to next emit.
- Global circuit breaker tests rewritten to use fresh sessions instead of
hacking removed per-window fields.
- 50/50 watch_patterns + notify_on_complete tests pass.
- 60/60 including test_terminal_tool.py pass.
* feat(dashboard): page-scoped plugin slots for built-in pages
Dashboard plugins can now inject components into specific built-in
pages (Sessions, Analytics, Logs, Cron, Skills, Config, Env, Docs,
Chat) without overriding the whole route.
Previously, plugins could only:
1. Add new tabs (tab.path)
2. Replace whole built-in pages (tab.override)
3. Inject into global shell slots (header-*, footer-*, pre-main, ...)
None of those let a plugin add a banner, card, or widget to an
existing page. The new <page>:top / <page>:bottom slots close that
gap, reusing the existing registerSlot() API.
Changes
- web/src/plugins/slots.ts: 18 new KNOWN_SLOT_NAMES entries
(sessions:top, sessions:bottom, analytics:top, ..., chat:bottom),
grouped under "Shell-wide" vs "Page-scoped" in the docblock
- web/src/pages/*: each built-in page now renders
<PluginSlot name="<page>:top" />
as the first child of its outer wrapper and
<PluginSlot name="<page>:bottom" />
as the last child -- zero visual cost when no plugin registers
- plugins/example-dashboard: registers a demo banner into
sessions:top via registerSlot(), with matching slots entry in
the manifest -- so freshly-setup users can see what page-scoped
slots look like without writing any plugin code
- website/docs: new "Page-scoped slots" table in the plugin
authoring guide, with a worked example
- tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py: round-trip test for
colon-bearing slot names (sessions:top, analytics:bottom, ...)
Validation
- npm run build: clean (tsc -b + vite build, 2761 modules)
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py::TestDashboardPluginManifestExtensions: 5/5 pass
Moves the Spotify integration from tools/ into plugins/spotify/,
matching the existing pattern established by plugins/image_gen/ for
third-party service integrations.
Why:
- tools/ should be reserved for foundational capabilities (terminal,
read_file, web_search, etc.). tools/providers/ was a one-off
directory created solely for spotify_client.py.
- plugins/ is already the home for image_gen backends, memory
providers, context engines, and standalone hook-based plugins.
Spotify is a third-party service integration and belongs alongside
those, not in tools/.
- Future service integrations (eventually: Deezer, Apple Music, etc.)
now have a pattern to copy.
Changes:
- tools/spotify_tool.py → plugins/spotify/tools.py (handlers + schemas)
- tools/providers/spotify_client.py → plugins/spotify/client.py
- tools/providers/ removed (was only used for Spotify)
- New plugins/spotify/__init__.py with register(ctx) calling
ctx.register_tool() × 7. The handler/check_fn wiring is unchanged.
- New plugins/spotify/plugin.yaml (kind: backend, bundled, auto-load).
- tests/tools/test_spotify_client.py: import paths updated.
tools_config fix — _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS now wins over plugin auto-enable:
- _get_platform_tools() previously auto-enabled unknown plugin
toolsets for new platforms. That was fine for image_gen (which has
no toolset of its own) but bad for Spotify, which explicitly
requires opt-in (don't ship 7 tool schemas to users who don't use
it). Added a check: if a plugin toolset is in _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS,
it stays off until the user picks it in 'hermes tools'.
Pre-existing test bug fix:
- tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py::test_list_returns_sorted
asserted names were sorted, but list_plugins() sorts by key
(path-derived, e.g. image_gen/openai). With only image_gen plugins
bundled, name and key order happened to agree. Adding plugins/spotify
broke that coincidence (spotify sorts between openai-codex and xai
by name but after xai by key). Updated test to assert key order,
which is what the code actually documents.
Validation:
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py \
tests/hermes_cli/test_tools_config.py \
tests/hermes_cli/test_spotify_auth.py \
tests/tools/test_spotify_client.py \
tests/tools/test_registry.py
→ 143 passed
- E2E plugin load: 'spotify' appears in loaded plugins, all 7 tools
register into the spotify toolset, check_fn gating intact.
Adds an optional bank_id_template config that derives the bank name at
initialize() time from runtime context. Existing users with a static
bank_id keep the current behavior (template is empty by default).
Supported placeholders:
{profile} — active Hermes profile (agent_identity kwarg)
{workspace} — Hermes workspace (agent_workspace kwarg)
{platform} — cli, telegram, discord, etc.
{user} — platform user id (gateway sessions)
{session} — session id
Unsafe characters in placeholder values are sanitized, and empty
placeholders collapse cleanly (e.g. "hermes-{user}" with no user
becomes "hermes"). If the template renders empty, the static bank_id
is used as a fallback.
Common uses:
bank_id_template: hermes-{profile} # isolate per Hermes profile
bank_id_template: {workspace}-{profile} # workspace + profile scoping
bank_id_template: hermes-{user} # per-user banks for gateway
Reusing session_id as document_id caused data loss on /resume: when
the session is loaded again, _session_turns starts empty and the next
retain replaces the entire previously stored content.
Now each process lifecycle gets its own document_id formed as
{session_id}-{startup_timestamp}, so:
- Same session, same process: turns accumulate into one document (existing behavior)
- Resume (new process, same session): writes a new document, old one preserved
- Forks: child process gets its own document; parent's doc is untouched
Also adds session lineage tags so all processes for the same session
(or its parent) can still be filtered together via recall:
- session:<session_id> on every retain
- parent:<parent_session_id> when initialized with parent_session_id
Closes#6602
The previous commit added HINDSIGHT_TIMEOUT as a configurable env var,
but _run_sync still used the hardcoded _DEFAULT_TIMEOUT (120s). All
async operations (recall, retain, reflect, aclose) now go through an
instance method that uses self._timeout, so the configured value is
actually applied.
Also: added backward-compatible alias comment for the module-level
function.
The Hindsight Cloud API can take 30-40 seconds per request. The
hardcoded 30s timeout was too aggressive and caused frequent
timeout errors. This patch:
1. Adds HINDSIGHT_TIMEOUT environment variable (default: 120s)
2. Adds timeout to the config schema for setup wizard visibility
3. Uses the configurable timeout in both _run_sync() and client creation
4. Reads from config.json or env var, falling back to 120s default
This makes the timeout upgrade-proof — users can set it via env var
or config without patching source code.

The module-global `_loop` / `_loop_thread` pair is shared across every
`HindsightMemoryProvider` instance in the process — the plugin loader
creates one provider per `AIAgent`, and the gateway creates one `AIAgent`
per concurrent chat session (Telegram/Discord/Slack/CLI).
`HindsightMemoryProvider.shutdown()` stopped the shared loop when any one
session ended. That stranded the aiohttp `ClientSession` and `TCPConnector`
owned by every sibling provider on a now-dead loop — they were never
reachable for close and surfaced as the `Unclosed client session` /
`Unclosed connector` warnings reported in #11923.
Fix: stop stopping the shared loop in `shutdown()`. Per-provider cleanup
still closes that provider's own client via `self._client.aclose()`. The
loop runs on a daemon thread and is reclaimed on process exit; keeping
it alive between provider shutdowns means sibling providers can drain
their own sessions cleanly.
Regression tests in `tests/plugins/memory/test_hindsight_provider.py`
(`TestSharedEventLoopLifecycle`):
- `test_shutdown_does_not_stop_shared_event_loop` — two providers share
the loop; shutting down one leaves the loop live for the other. This
test reproduces the #11923 leak on `main` and passes with the fix.
- `test_client_aclose_called_on_cloud_mode_shutdown` — each provider's
own aiohttp session is still closed via `aclose()`.
Fixes#11923.
When user runs
✓ Memory provider: built-in only
Saved to config.yaml and leaves the API key blank,
the old code skipped writing it entirely. This caused the uvx daemon
launcher to fail at startup because it couldn't distinguish between
"key not configured" and "explicitly blank key."
Now HINDSIGHT_LLM_API_KEY is always written to .env so the value
is either set or explicitly empty.
Themes and plugins can now pull off arbitrary dashboard reskins (cockpit
HUD, retro terminal, etc.) without touching core code.
Themes gain four new fields:
- layoutVariant: standard | cockpit | tiled — shell layout selector
- assets: {bg, hero, logo, crest, sidebar, header, custom: {...}} —
artwork URLs exposed as --theme-asset-* CSS vars
- customCSS: raw CSS injected as a scoped <style> tag on theme apply
(32 KiB cap, cleaned up on theme switch)
- componentStyles: per-component CSS-var overrides (clipPath,
borderImage, background, boxShadow, ...) for card/header/sidebar/
backdrop/tab/progress/badge/footer/page
Plugin manifests gain three new fields:
- tab.override: replaces a built-in route instead of adding a tab
- tab.hidden: register component + slots without adding a nav entry
- slots: declares shell slots the plugin populates
10 named shell slots: backdrop, header-left/right/banner, sidebar,
pre-main, post-main, footer-left/right, overlay. Plugins register via
window.__HERMES_PLUGINS__.registerSlot(name, slot, Component). A
<PluginSlot> React helper is exported on the plugin SDK.
Ships a full demo at plugins/strike-freedom-cockpit/ — theme YAML +
slot-only plugin that reproduces a Gundam cockpit dashboard: MS-STATUS
sidebar with live telemetry, COMPASS crest in header, notched card
corners via componentStyles, scanline overlay via customCSS, gold/cyan
palette, Orbitron typography.
Validation:
- 15 new tests in test_web_server.py covering every extended field
- tests/hermes_cli/: 2615 passed (3 pre-existing unrelated failures)
- tsc -b --noEmit: clean

The agent-facing image_generate tool only passes prompt + aspect_ratio to
provider.generate() (see tools/image_generation_tool.py:953). The editing
block (reference_images / edit_image kwargs) could never fire from the
tool surface, and the xAI edits endpoint is /images/edits with a
different payload shape anyway — not /images/generations as submitted.
- Remove reference_images / edit_image kwargs handling from generate()
- Remove matching test_with_reference_images case
- Update docstring + plugin.yaml description to text-to-image only
- Surface resolution in the success extras
Follow-up to PR #14547. Tests: 18/18 pass.
New built-in image_gen backend at plugins/image_gen/openai-codex/ that
exposes the same gpt-image-2 low/medium/high tier catalog as the
existing 'openai' plugin, but routes generation through the ChatGPT/
Codex Responses image_generation tool path. Available whenever the user
has Codex OAuth signed in; no OPENAI_API_KEY required.
The two plugins are independent — users select between them via
'hermes tools' → Image Generation, and image_gen.provider in
config.yaml. The existing 'openai' (API-key) plugin is unchanged.
Reuses _read_codex_access_token() and _codex_cloudflare_headers() from
agent.auxiliary_client so token expiry / cred-pool / Cloudflare
originator handling stays in one place.
Inspired by #14047 by @Hygaard, but re-implemented as a separate
plugin instead of an in-place fork of the openai plugin.
Closes#11195
- Add configurable retain_tags / retain_source / retain_user_prefix /
retain_assistant_prefix knobs for native Hindsight.
- Thread gateway session identity (user_name, chat_id, chat_name,
chat_type, thread_id) through AIAgent and MemoryManager into
MemoryProvider.initialize kwargs so providers can scope and tag
retained memories.
- Hindsight attaches the new identity fields as retain metadata,
merges per-call tool tags with configured default tags, and uses
the configurable transcript labels for auto-retained turns.

* feat(plugins): pluggable image_gen backends + OpenAI provider
Adds a ImageGenProvider ABC so image generation backends register as
bundled plugins under `plugins/image_gen/<name>/`. The plugin scanner
gains three primitives to make this work generically:
- `kind:` manifest field (`standalone` | `backend` | `exclusive`).
Bundled `kind: backend` plugins auto-load — no `plugins.enabled`
incantation. User-installed backends stay opt-in.
- Path-derived keys: `plugins/image_gen/openai/` gets key
`image_gen/openai`, so a future `tts/openai` cannot collide.
- Depth-2 recursion into category namespaces (parent dirs without a
`plugin.yaml` of their own).
Includes `OpenAIImageGenProvider` as the first consumer (gpt-image-1.5
default, plus gpt-image-1, gpt-image-1-mini, DALL-E 3/2). Base64
responses save to `$HERMES_HOME/cache/images/`; URL responses pass
through.
FAL stays in-tree for this PR — a follow-up ports it into
`plugins/image_gen/fal/` so the in-tree `image_generation_tool.py`
slims down. The dispatch shim in `_handle_image_generate` only fires
when `image_gen.provider` is explicitly set to a non-FAL value, so
existing FAL setups are untouched.
- 41 unit tests (scanner recursion, kind parsing, gate logic,
registry, OpenAI payload shapes)
- E2E smoke verified: bundled plugin autoloads, registers, and
`_handle_image_generate` routes to OpenAI when configured
* fix(image_gen/openai): don't send response_format to gpt-image-*
The live API rejects it: 'Unknown parameter: response_format'
(verified 2026-04-21 with gpt-image-1.5). gpt-image-* models return
b64_json unconditionally, so the parameter was both unnecessary and
actively broken.
* feat(image_gen/openai): gpt-image-2 only, drop legacy catalog
gpt-image-2 is the latest/best OpenAI image model (released 2026-04-21)
and there's no reason to expose the older gpt-image-1.5 / gpt-image-1 /
dall-e-3 / dall-e-2 alongside it — slower, lower quality, or awkward
(dall-e-2 squares only). Trim the catalog down to a single model.
Live-verified end-to-end: landscape 1536x1024 render of a Moog-style
synth matches prompt exactly, 2.4MB PNG saved to cache.
* feat(image_gen/openai): expose gpt-image-2 as three quality tiers
Users pick speed/fidelity via the normal model picker instead of a
hidden quality knob. All three tier IDs resolve to the single underlying
gpt-image-2 API model with a different quality parameter:
gpt-image-2-low ~15s fast iteration
gpt-image-2-medium ~40s default
gpt-image-2-high ~2min highest fidelity
Live-measured on OpenAI's API today: 15.4s / 40.8s / 116.9s for the
same 1024x1024 prompt.
Config:
image_gen.openai.model: gpt-image-2-high
# or
image_gen.model: gpt-image-2-low
# or env var for scripts/tests
OPENAI_IMAGE_MODEL=gpt-image-2-medium
Live-verified end-to-end with the low tier: 18.8s landscape render of a
golden retriever in wildflowers, vision-confirmed exact match.
* feat(tools_config): plugin image_gen providers inject themselves into picker
'hermes tools' → Image Generation now shows plugin-registered backends
alongside Nous Subscription and FAL.ai without tools_config.py needing
to know about them. OpenAI appears as a third option today; future
backends appear automatically as they're added.
Mechanism:
- ImageGenProvider gains an optional get_setup_schema() hook
(name, badge, tag, env_vars). Default derived from display_name.
- tools_config._plugin_image_gen_providers() pulls the schemas from
every registered non-FAL plugin provider.
- _visible_providers() appends those rows when rendering the Image
Generation category.
- _configure_provider() handles the new image_gen_plugin_name marker:
writes image_gen.provider and routes to the plugin's list_models()
catalog for the model picker.
- _toolset_needs_configuration_prompt('image_gen') stops demanding a
FAL key when any plugin provider reports is_available().
FAL is skipped in the plugin path because it already has hardcoded
TOOL_CATEGORIES rows — when it gets ported to a plugin in a follow-up
PR the hardcoded rows go away and it surfaces through the same path
as OpenAI.
Verified live: picker shows Nous Subscription / FAL.ai / OpenAI.
Picking OpenAI prompts for OPENAI_API_KEY, then shows the
gpt-image-2-low/medium/high model picker sourced from the plugin.
397 tests pass across plugins/, tools_config, registry, and picker.
* fix(image_gen): close final gaps for plugin-backend parity with FAL
Two small places that still hardcoded FAL:
- hermes_cli/setup.py status line: an OpenAI-only setup showed
'Image Generation: missing FAL_KEY'. Now probes plugin providers
and reports '(OpenAI)' when one is_available() — or falls back to
'missing FAL_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY' if nothing is configured.
- image_generate tool schema description: said 'using FAL.ai, default
FLUX 2 Klein 9B'. Rewrote provider-neutral — 'backend and model are
user-configured' — and notes the 'image' field can be a URL or an
absolute path, which the gateway delivers either way via
extract_local_files().
The original name was cute but non-obvious; disk-cleanup says what it
does. Plugin directory, script, state path, log lines, slash command,
and test module all renamed. No user-visible state exists yet, so no
migration path is needed.
New website page "Built-in Plugins" documents the <repo>/plugins/<name>/
source, how discovery interacts with user/project plugins, the
HERMES_DISABLE_BUNDLED_PLUGINS escape hatch, disk-cleanup's hook
behaviour and deletion rules, and guidance on when a plugin belongs
bundled vs. user-installable. Added to the Features → Core sidebar next
to the main Plugins page, with a cross-reference from plugins.md.
Rewires @LVT382009's disk-guardian (PR #12212) from a skill-plus-script
into a plugin that runs entirely via hooks — no agent compliance needed.
- post_tool_call hook auto-tracks files created by write_file / terminal
/ patch when they match test_/tmp_/*.test.* patterns under HERMES_HOME
- on_session_end hook runs cmd_quick cleanup when test files were
auto-tracked during the turn; stays quiet otherwise
- /disk-guardian slash command keeps status / dry-run / quick / deep /
track / forget for manual use
- Deterministic cleanup rules, path safety, atomic writes, and audit
logging preserved from the original contribution
- Protect well-known top-level state dirs (logs/, memories/, sessions/,
cron/, cache/, etc.) from empty-dir removal so fresh installs don't
get gutted on first session end
The plugin system gains a bundled-plugin discovery path (<repo>/plugins/
<name>/) alongside user/project/entry-point sources. Memory and
context_engine subdirs are skipped — they keep their own discovery
paths. HERMES_DISABLE_BUNDLED_PLUGINS=1 suppresses the scan; the test
conftest sets it by default so existing plugin tests stay clean.

Setup wizard now always writes dialecticCadence=2 on new configs and
surfaces the reasoning level as an explicit step with all five options
(minimal / low / medium / high / max), always writing
dialecticReasoningLevel.
Code keeps a backwards-compat fallback of 1 when dialecticCadence is
unset so existing honcho.json configs that predate the setting keep
firing every turn on upgrade. New setups via the wizard get 2
explicitly; docs show 2 as the default.
Also scrubs editorial lines from code and docs ("max is reserved for
explicit tool-path selection", "Unset → every turn; wizard pre-fills 2",
and similar process-exposing phrasing) and adds an inline link to
app.honcho.dev where the server-side observation sync is mentioned in
honcho.md. Recommended cadence range updated to 1-5 across docs and
wizard copy.
Hardens the dialectic lifecycle against three failure modes that could
leave the prefetch pipeline stuck or injecting stale content:
- Stale-thread watchdog: _thread_is_live() treats any prefetch thread
older than timeout × 2.0 as dead. A hung Honcho call can no longer
block subsequent fires indefinitely.
- Stale-result discard: pending _prefetch_result is tagged with its
fire turn. prefetch() discards the result if more than cadence × 2
turns passed before a consumer read it (e.g. a run of trivial-prompt
turns between fire and read).
- Empty-streak backoff: consecutive empty dialectic returns widen the
effective cadence (dialectic_cadence + streak, capped at cadence × 8).
A healthy fire resets the streak. Prevents the plugin from hammering
the backend every turn when the peer graph is cold.
- liveness_snapshot() on the provider exposes current turn, last fire,
pending fire-at, empty streak, effective cadence, and thread status
for in-process diagnostics.
- system_prompt_block: nudge the model that honcho_reasoning accepts
reasoning_level minimal/low/medium/high/max per call.
- hermes honcho status: surface base reasoning level, cap, and heuristic
toggle so config drift is visible at a glance.
Tests: 550 passed.
- TestDialecticLiveness (8 tests): stale-thread recovery, stale-result
discard, fresh-result retention, backoff widening, backoff ceiling,
streak reset on success, streak increment on empty, snapshot shape.
- Existing TestDialecticCadenceAdvancesOnSuccess::test_in_flight_thread_is_not_stacked
updated to set _prefetch_thread_started_at so it tests the
fresh-thread-blocks branch (stale path covered separately).
- test_cli TestCmdStatus fake updated with the new config attrs surfaced
in the status block.
- cli: setup wizard pre-fills dialecticCadence=2 (code default stays 1
so unset → every turn)
- honcho.md: fix stale dialecticCadence default in tables, add
Session-Start Prewarm subsection (depth runs at init), add
Query-Adaptive Reasoning Level subsection, expand Observation
section with directional vs unified semantics and per-peer patterns
- memory-providers.md: fix stale default, rename Multi-agent/Profiles
to Multi-peer setup, add concrete walkthrough for new profiles and
sync, document observation toggles + presets, link to honcho.md
- SKILL.md: fix stale defaults, add Depth at session start callout
- Revert website/docs and SKILL.md changes; docs unification handled separately
- Scrub commit/PR refs and process narration from code comments and test
docstrings (no behavior change)
Several correctness and cost-safety fixes to the Honcho dialectic path
after a multi-turn investigation surfaced a chain of silent failures:
- dialecticCadence default flipped 3 → 1. PR #10619 changed this from 1 to
3 for cost, but existing installs with no explicit config silently went
from per-turn dialectic to every-3-turns on upgrade. Restores pre-#10619
behavior; 3+ remains available for cost-conscious setups. Docs + wizard
+ status output updated to match.
- Session-start prewarm now consumed. Previously fired a .chat() on init
whose result landed in HonchoSessionManager._dialectic_cache and was
never read — pop_dialectic_result had zero call sites. Turn 1 paid for
a duplicate synchronous dialectic. Prewarm now writes directly to the
plugin's _prefetch_result via _prefetch_lock so turn 1 consumes it with
no extra call.
- Prewarm is now dialecticDepth-aware. A single-pass prewarm can return
weak output on cold peers; the multi-pass audit/reconcile cycle is
exactly the case dialecticDepth was built for. Prewarm now runs the
full configured depth in the background.
- Silent dialectic failure no longer burns the cadence window.
_last_dialectic_turn now advances only when the result is non-empty.
Empty result → next eligible turn retries immediately instead of
waiting the full cadence gap.
- Thread pile-up guard. queue_prefetch skips when a prior dialectic
thread is still in-flight, preventing stacked races on _prefetch_result.
- First-turn sync timeout is recoverable. Previously on timeout the
background thread's result was stored in a dead local list. Now the
thread writes into _prefetch_result under lock so the next turn
picks it up.
- Cadence gate applies uniformly. At cadence=1 the old "cadence > 1"
guard let first-turn sync + same-turn queue_prefetch both fire.
Gate now always applies.
- Restored query-length reasoning-level scaling, dropped in 9a0ab34c.
Scales dialecticReasoningLevel up on longer queries (+1 at ≥120 chars,
+2 at ≥400), clamped at reasoningLevelCap. Two new config keys:
`reasoningHeuristic` (bool, default true) and `reasoningLevelCap`
(string, default "high"; previously parsed but never enforced).
Respects dialecticDepthLevels and proportional lighter-early passes.
- Restored short-prompt skip, dropped in ef7f3156. One-word
acknowledgements ("ok", "y", "thanks") and slash commands bypass
both injection and dialectic fire.
- Purged dead code in session.py: prefetch_dialectic, _dialectic_cache,
set_dialectic_result, pop_dialectic_result — all unused after prewarm
refactor.
Tests: 542 passed across honcho_plugin/, agent/test_memory_provider.py,
and run_agent/test_run_agent.py. New coverage:
- TestTrivialPromptHeuristic (classifier + prefetch/queue skip)
- TestDialecticCadenceAdvancesOnSuccess (empty-result retry, pile-up guard)
- TestSessionStartDialecticPrewarm (prewarm consumed, sync fallback)
- TestReasoningHeuristic (length bumps, cap clamp, interaction with depth)
- TestDialecticLifecycleSmoke (end-to-end 8-turn session walk)

* fix: show correct env var name in provider API key error (#9506)
The error message for missing provider API keys dynamically built
the env var name as PROVIDER_API_KEY (e.g. ALIBABA_API_KEY), but
some providers use different names (alibaba uses DASHSCOPE_API_KEY).
Users following the error message set the wrong variable.
Fix: look up the actual env var from PROVIDER_REGISTRY before
building the error. Falls back to the dynamic name if the registry
lookup fails.
Closes#9506
* fix: five HERMES_HOME profile-isolation leaks (#5947)
Bug A: Thread session_title from session_db to memory provider init kwargs
so honcho can derive chat-scoped session keys instead of falling back to
cwd-based naming that merges all gateway users into one session.
Bug B: Replace 14 hardcoded ~/.hermes/skills/ paths across 10 skill files
with HERMES_HOME-aware alternatives (${HERMES_HOME:-$HOME/.hermes} in
shell, os.environ.get('HERMES_HOME', ...) in Python).
Bug C: install.sh now respects HERMES_HOME env var and adds --hermes-home
flag. Previously --dir only set INSTALL_DIR while HERMES_HOME was always
hardcoded to $HOME/.hermes.
Bug D: Remove hardcoded ~/.hermes/honcho.json fallback in resolve_config_path().
Non-default profiles no longer silently inherit the default profile's honcho
config. Falls through to ~/.honcho/config.json (global) instead.
Bug E: Guard _edit_skill, _patch_skill, _delete_skill, _write_file, and
_remove_file against writing to skills found in external_dirs. Skills
outside the local SKILLS_DIR are now read-only from the agent's perspective.
Closes#5947
Memory provider discovery (discover_memory_providers, load_memory_provider)
only scanned the bundled plugins/memory/ directory. User-installed providers
at $HERMES_HOME/plugins/<name>/ were invisible, forcing users to symlink
into the repo source tree — which broke on hermes update and created a
dual-registration path causing duplicate tool names (400 errors on strict
providers like Xiaomi MiMo).
Changes:
- Add _get_user_plugins_dir(), _is_memory_provider_dir(), _iter_provider_dirs(),
and find_provider_dir() helpers to plugins/memory/__init__.py
- discover_memory_providers() now scans both bundled and user dirs
- load_memory_provider() uses find_provider_dir() (bundled-first)
- discover_plugin_cli_commands() uses find_provider_dir()
- _install_dependencies() in memory_setup.py uses find_provider_dir()
- User plugins use _hermes_user_memory namespace to avoid sys.modules collisions
- Non-memory user plugins filtered via source text heuristic
- Bundled providers always take precedence on name collisions
Fixes#4956, #9099. Supersedes #4987, #9123, #9130, #9132, #9982.
OV transparently handles message history across /new and /compress: old
messages stay in the same session and extraction is idempotent, so there's
no need to rebind providers to a new session_id. The only thing the
session boundary actually needs is to trigger extraction.
- MemoryProvider / MemoryManager: remove on_session_reset hook
- OpenViking: remove on_session_reset override (nothing to do)
- AIAgent: replace rotate_memory_session with commit_memory_session
(just calls on_session_end, no rebind)
- cli.py / run_agent.py: single commit_memory_session call at the
session boundary before session_id rotates
- tests: replace on_session_reset coverage with routing tests for
MemoryManager.on_session_end

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

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

- Fix copy-paste bug: `self._agent = user` → `self._agent = agent`
with new `agent` parameter in `_VikingClient.__init__`
- Read account/user/agent env vars in `initialize()` and pass them
to all 4 `_VikingClient` instantiations so identity headers are
consistently applied across health check, prefetch, sync, and
memory write paths

- Change default OPENVIKING_ACCOUNT from 'root' to 'default'
- Add account and user config options to get_config_schema()
- Add session creation in initialize()
- Add reset_session() method
- Update docstring to reflect new default
This is a breaking change: existing users who relied on the 'root' account will need to either:
1. Set OPENVIKING_ACCOUNT=root in their environment, or
2. Migrate their data to the 'default' account
Future release will add support for OPENVIKING_ACCOUNT and OPENVIKING_USER in setup when API key is provided.
update desc for key setup
Two fixes for the honcho memory plugin: (1) initOnSessionStart — opt-in eager session init in tools mode so sync_turn() works from turn 1 (default false, non-breaking). (2) peerName fix — gateway user_id no longer silently overwrites an explicitly configured peerName. 11 new tests. Contributed by @Kathie-yu.
Follow-up fixes for the context engine plugin slot (PR #5700):
- Enhance ContextEngine ABC: add threshold_percent, protect_first_n,
protect_last_n as class attributes; complete update_model() default
with threshold recalculation; clarify on_session_end() lifecycle docs
- Add ContextCompressor.update_model() override for model/provider/
base_url/api_key updates
- Replace all direct compressor internal access in run_agent.py with
ABC interface: switch_model(), fallback restore, context probing
all use update_model() now; _context_probed guarded with getattr/
hasattr for plugin engine compatibility
- Create plugins/context_engine/ directory with discovery module
(mirrors plugins/memory/ pattern) — discover_context_engines(),
load_context_engine()
- Add context.engine config key to DEFAULT_CONFIG (default: compressor)
- Config-driven engine selection in run_agent.__init__: checks config,
then plugins/context_engine/<name>/, then general plugin system,
falls back to built-in ContextCompressor
- Wire on_session_end() in shutdown_memory_provider() at real session
boundaries (CLI exit, /reset, gateway expiry)
Port missing features from the hindsight-hermes external integration
package into the native plugin. Only touches plugin files — no core
changes.
Features:
- Tags on retain/recall (tags, recall_tags, recall_tags_match)
- Recall config (recall_max_tokens, recall_max_input_chars, recall_types,
recall_prompt_preamble)
- Retain controls (retain_every_n_turns, auto_retain, auto_recall,
retain_async via aretain_batch, retain_context)
- Bank config via Banks API (bank_mission, bank_retain_mission)
- Structured JSON retain with per-message timestamps
- Full session accumulation with document_id for dedup
- Custom post_setup() wizard with curses picker
- Mode-aware dep install (hindsight-client for cloud, hindsight-all for local)
- local_external mode and openai_compatible LLM provider
- OpenRouter support with auto base URL
- Auto-upgrade of hindsight-client to >=0.4.22 on session start
- Comprehensive debug logging across all operations
- 46 unit tests
- Updated README and website docs
Fixes#6259. Three bugs fixed:
1. Config key mismatch: _get_client() and _start_daemon() read
'llmApiKey' (camelCase) but save_config() stores 'llm_api_key'
(snake_case). The config value was never read — only the env var
fallback worked.
2. Missing base URL support: users on OpenRouter or custom endpoints
had no way to configure HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_BASE_URL through setup.
Added llm_base_url to config schema with empty default, passed
conditionally to HindsightEmbedded constructor.
3. Daemon config change detection: config_changed now also checks
HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_BASE_URL, and the daemon profile .env includes
the base URL when set.
Keeps HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY (with double API) in the daemon
profile .env — this matches the upstream hindsight .env.example
convention.
Import hermes_constants.get_hermes_home at module level so it is
available in _start_daemon() when local mode starts the embedded
daemon. Previously the import was only inside _load_config(), causing
NameError when _start_daemon() referenced get_hermes_home().

Changes:
- Add search_mode config (hybrid/memories/documents) passed to SDK
- Add {identity} template support in container_tag for profile-scoped containers
- Add SUPERMEMORY_CONTAINER_TAG env var override (priority over config)
- Add multi-container mode: enable_custom_container_tags, custom_containers,
custom_container_instructions in supermemory.json
- Dynamic tool schemas when multi-container enabled (optional container_tag param)
- Whitelist validation for custom container tags in tool calls
- Simplify get_config_schema() to only prompt for API key during setup
- Defer container_tag sanitization to initialize() (after template resolution)
- Add custom_id support to documents.add calls
- Update README with multi-container docs, search_mode, identity template,
support links (Discord, email)
- Update memory-providers.md with new features and multi-container example
- Update memory-provider-plugin.md with minimal vs full schema guidance
- Add 12 new tests covering identity template, search_mode, multi-container,
config schema, and env var override
Memory plugins (Mem0, Honcho) used static identifiers ('hermes-user',
config peerName) meaning all gateway users shared the same memory bucket.
Changes:
- AIAgent.__init__: add user_id parameter, store as self._user_id
- run_agent.py: include user_id in _init_kwargs passed to memory providers
- gateway/run.py: pass source.user_id to AIAgent in primary + background paths
- Mem0 plugin: prefer kwargs user_id over config default
- Honcho plugin: override cfg.peer_name with gateway user_id when present
CLI sessions (user_id=None) preserve existing defaults. Only gateway
sessions with a real platform user_id get per-user memory scoping.

16 callsites across 14 files were re-deriving the hermes home path
via os.environ.get('HERMES_HOME', ...) instead of using the canonical
get_hermes_home() from hermes_constants. This breaks profiles — each
profile has its own HERMES_HOME, and the inline fallback defaults to
~/.hermes regardless.
Fixed by importing and calling get_hermes_home() at each site. For
files already inside the hermes process (agent/, hermes_cli/, tools/,
gateway/, plugins/), this is always safe. Files that run outside the
process context (mcp_serve.py, mcp_oauth.py) already had correct
try/except ImportError fallbacks and were left alone.
Skipped: hermes_constants.py (IS the implementation), env_loader.py
(bootstrap), profiles.py (intentionally manipulates the env var),
standalone scripts (optional-skills/, skills/), and tests.
Comprehensive cleanup across 80 files based on automated (ruff, pyflakes, vulture)
and manual analysis of the entire codebase.
Changes by category:
Unused imports removed (~95 across 55 files):
- Removed genuinely unused imports from all major subsystems
- agent/, hermes_cli/, tools/, gateway/, plugins/, cron/
- Includes imports in try/except blocks that were truly unused
(vs availability checks which were left alone)
Unused variables removed (~25):
- Removed dead variables: connected, inner, channels, last_exc,
source, new_server_names, verify, pconfig, default_terminal,
result, pending_handled, temperature, loop
- Dropped unused argparse subparser assignments in hermes_cli/main.py
(12 instances of add_parser() where result was never used)
Dead code removed:
- run_agent.py: Removed dead ternary (None if False else None) and
surrounding unreachable branch in identity fallback
- run_agent.py: Removed write-only attribute _last_reported_tool
- hermes_cli/providers.py: Removed dead @property decorator on
module-level function (decorator has no effect outside a class)
- gateway/run.py: Removed unused MCP config load before reconnect
- gateway/platforms/slack.py: Removed dead SessionSource construction
Undefined name bugs fixed (would cause NameError at runtime):
- batch_runner.py: Added missing logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
- tools/environments/daytona.py: Added missing Dict and Path imports
Unnecessary global statements removed (14):
- tools/terminal_tool.py: 5 functions declared global for dicts
they only mutated via .pop()/[key]=value (no rebinding)
- tools/browser_tool.py: cleanup thread loop only reads flag
- tools/rl_training_tool.py: 4 functions only do dict mutations
- tools/mcp_oauth.py: only reads the global
- hermes_time.py: only reads cached values
Inefficient patterns fixed:
- startswith/endswith tuple form: 15 instances of
x.startswith('a') or x.startswith('b') consolidated to
x.startswith(('a', 'b'))
- len(x)==0 / len(x)>0: 13 instances replaced with pythonic
truthiness checks (not x / bool(x))
- in dict.keys(): 5 instances simplified to in dict
- Redefined unused name: removed duplicate _strip_mdv2 import in
send_message_tool.py
Other fixes:
- hermes_cli/doctor.py: Replaced undefined logger.debug() with pass
- hermes_cli/config.py: Consolidated chained .endswith() calls
Test results: 3934 passed, 17 failed (all pre-existing on main),
19 skipped. Zero regressions.
