Translate Slack attachment failures into actionable user-facing notices
instead of generic download errors. When a scope/auth/permission issue
breaks attachment processing, the user sees:
[Slack attachment notice]
- Slack attachment access failed for photo.jpg. Missing scope:
files:read. Update the Slack app scopes/settings and reinstall
the app to the workspace.
Two helpers do the translation:
_describe_slack_api_error — handles SlackApiError responses
(missing_scope, invalid_auth, file_not_found, access_denied, etc.)
_describe_slack_download_failure — handles httpx.HTTPStatusError
(401/403/404) and Slack-returns-HTML-sign-in fallbacks
Wired into three existing call sites:
- the Slack Connect files.info path (PR #11111) so scope errors
surface instead of being logged as generic "files.info failed"
- the image, audio, and document download paths so 401/403 and
HTML-body responses translate into actionable notices
Adjustment from original PR: dropped _probe_slack_file_access_issue,
the proactive pre-download files.info probe. It added one extra
Slack API call per attachment even on healthy ones, and overlapped
with the existing files.info call from PR #11111. The post-failure
translation path covers the same user-facing diagnostic value
without the per-message tax.
Also documents files:read scope more prominently in the Slack setup
guide and troubleshooting table.

Background review fork now inherits session_id, credential_pool, and
status_callback from the parent (added in #16099 after this PR was
written). Extend the bare-agent helper so the regression test keeps
reaching the cleanup assertions instead of failing in the runtime
resolver.

Temporary background review agents can initialize Hindsight-backed memory clients, but close() alone skips provider teardown. Shut the memory provider down before closing so aiohttp sessions do not leak at process exit.
Made-with: Cursor
The Slack thread-context fetcher used to drop every message with a
bot_id, which silently erased the thread parent whenever a cron job (or
any other bot) had posted it. As a result, replies to a cron-posted
summary lost all context and the agent answered as if from a blank
thread.
Changes:
1. gateway/platforms/slack.py::_fetch_thread_context
- Keep the thread parent even when it was posted by a bot
(e.g. cron summaries, third-party integrations).
- Only skip *our own* prior bot replies to avoid circular context,
matching the per-workspace bot user id via _team_bot_user_ids so
multi-workspace deployments stay correct.
- Keep non-self bot children (useful third-party context).
2. gateway/platforms/slack.py::_handle_slack_message
- Populate MessageEvent.reply_to_text for thread replies (parity
with Telegram/Discord/Feishu/WeCom). gateway.run uses this field
to inject a [Replying to: "..."] prefix when the parent is not
already in the session history, which is exactly the scenario
triggered by cron-generated thread parents.
- New helper _fetch_thread_parent_text reuses the existing thread-
context cache (and its 60s TTL) to avoid duplicate
conversations.replies calls; falls back to a cheap limit=1 fetch
when the cache is cold.
Tests:
- Updated TestSlackThreadContext::test_skips_bot_messages to reflect
the new behaviour (self-bot child dropped, third-party bot kept).
- Added:
* test_fetch_thread_context_includes_bot_parent
* test_fetch_thread_context_excludes_self_bot_replies
* test_fetch_thread_context_multi_workspace
* test_fetch_thread_context_current_ts_excluded (regression guard)
* test_fetch_thread_parent_text_from_cache
* test_slack_reply_to_text_set_on_thread_reply
* test_slack_reply_to_text_none_for_top_level_message
Full Slack suite: 176 passed (was 169).
Slack's chat.postMessage API rejects user IDs (U...) and workspace
IDs (W...) — they are not valid conversation IDs. Posting to them
fails because the API requires a channel ID (C/G/D). To DM a user,
the sender must first call conversations.open to obtain a D... ID.
Tighten _SLACK_TARGET_RE from [CGDUW] to [CGD] so the send path rejects
U/W values as explicit targets and instead falls through to channel-
name resolution (where they'll fail with a clear 'could not resolve'
error rather than silently getting stuck in a retry loop on the API).
Flip the corresponding regression test to assert U/W values are not
explicit. Matches the narrower regex briandevans proposed in #15939.
Co-authored-by: briandevans <brian@bde.io>
send_message(target='slack:<channel_id>') failed with "Could not
resolve" because _parse_target_ref had no Slack branch — Slack's
uppercase alphanumeric IDs fell through to channel-name resolution,
which only matched by name. As a fallback, the agent would retry with
bare target='slack' and post to the home channel instead.
Three fixes:
- _parse_target_ref recognizes Slack IDs (C/G/D/U/W prefix) as
explicit targets so the name-resolver is bypassed entirely.
- resolve_channel_name tries a case-sensitive raw-ID match before
the existing name match, so any platform's IDs resolve cleanly.
- _build_slack now actually calls users.conversations against each
workspace's AsyncWebClient (paginated), instead of only returning
session-history entries. This populates the directory with public
and private channels the bot has joined, so action='list' shows
them and they can also be addressed by name. Errors from one
workspace don't block others.
build_channel_directory becomes async (Slack web calls require it).
The two async-context callers in gateway/run.py are awaited; the
cron ticker thread call bridges via asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe.
Slack bot needs channels:read and groups:read scopes for full
enumeration; missing scopes degrade gracefully per-workspace.
addressing #15927
load_gateway_config() has a side effect: when config.yaml contains
platform-gating keys (slack.require_mention, slack.strict_mention,
slack.free_response_channels, slack.allow_bots, slack.reactions, plus
analogous keys for discord/telegram/whatsapp/dingtalk/matrix), it calls
os.environ[KEY] = ... to bridge them to env-var form.
monkeypatch.delenv doesn't track direct os.environ mutations made
inside the test body, so tests that call load_gateway_config() leak
those env vars into later tests on the same xdist worker. The failure
mode is flaky seed-dependent: test_top_level_message_requires_mention_
even_with_session (and siblings in TestThreadReplyHandling) pass when
SLACK_REQUIRE_MENTION is unset but fail when a leaked value of 'false'
is present.
Add the gating env vars to _HERMES_BEHAVIORAL_VARS so the hermetic
autouse fixture blanks them on every test setup, closing the leak
regardless of which test sets them.
Extends the strict_mention feature so an @mention in strict mode no
longer persistently tags the thread as 'mentioned'. Without this, the
thread's first mention would permanently auto-trigger the bot on every
subsequent message — which is exactly what strict_mention is designed
to prevent. Closes the agent-to-agent ack loop hole hhhonzik identified
in #14117.
Co-authored-by: hhhonzik <me@janstepanovsky.cz>
Adds a strict_mention config option that, when enabled, requires an
explicit @-mention on every message in channel threads. Disables the
'once mentioned, forever in the thread' and session-presence auto-triggers.
- New _slack_strict_mention() helper (config.extra + SLACK_STRICT_MENTION env)
- Bridged top-level slack.strict_mention yaml to SLACK_STRICT_MENTION env,
matching require_mention/allow_bots bridging
- Unit tests for the helper + config bridge
Top-level channel messages arrive at _resolve_thread_ts with
metadata.thread_id set to the message's own ts, because the inbound
handler in _handle_message_event uses 'event.ts' as a session-keying
fallback when event.thread_ts is absent. That made metadata alone
insufficient to distinguish a real thread reply from a top-level
message, so reply_in_thread=false only took effect in DMs.
Use reply_to (== incoming message_id == ts for top-level messages) as
the tiebreaker: when metadata.thread_id == reply_to the 'thread' is the
synthetic session-keying fallback, not a real parent, so we reply
directly in the channel. Real thread replies (reply_to != thread_id)
still resolve to the parent thread and preserve conversation context.
Closes#9268.
Parameterize the test helpers in test_status_command.py to accept a
Platform and add two regression tests ensuring the first-run home-channel
onboarding uses '/hermes sethome' on Slack and '/sethome' everywhere else.

Repeated /queue commands now each produce a full agent turn, in order,
with no merging. Previously the second /queue overwrote the first
because the handler wrote directly into the adapter's single-slot
_pending_messages dict.
- GatewayRunner grows a _queued_events overflow buffer (dict of list).
- /queue puts new items in the adapter's next-up slot when free,
otherwise appends to the overflow. After each run's drain consumes
the slot, the next overflow item is promoted so the recursive run
picks it up.
- /new and /reset clear the overflow.
- /status now reports queue depth when non-zero.
- Ack message shows the depth once it exceeds 1.
Helpers (_enqueue_fifo, _promote_queued_event, _queue_depth) use the
getattr default-fallback pattern so existing tests that build bare
GatewayRunner instances via object.__new__ keep working.
Before: delegate_task children each allocated their own terminal
sandbox keyed by child task_id. Starting extra containers (or Modal
sandboxes / Daytona workspaces) is expensive, and the subagent's work
is invisible to the parent — files written by the child in its
container don't exist in the parent's when the subagent returns.
After: a single `_resolve_container_task_id` helper maps any
tool-call task_id to "default" UNLESS an env override is registered
for it. The parent agent and all delegate_task children therefore
share one long-lived sandbox — installed packages, cwd, /workspace
files, and /tmp scratch carry over freely between them.
RL and benchmark environments (TerminalBench2, HermesSweEnv, ...)
opt in to isolation via `register_task_env_overrides(task_id, {...})`;
those task_ids survive the collapse and get their own sandbox,
preserving the per-task Docker image behavior these benchmarks rely on.
file_state / active-subagents registry / TUI events still key off the
original child task_id, so the 'subagent wrote a file the parent read'
warning and UI per-subagent panels keep working.
Tradeoff: parallel delegate_task children (tasks=[...]) now share one
bash/container. Concurrent cd, env-var mutations, and writes to the
same path will collide. If that bites a specific workflow, the
subagent can opt back into isolation via register_task_env_overrides.
Applied at four lookup sites:
- tools/terminal_tool.py terminal_tool() and get_active_env()
- tools/file_tools.py _get_file_ops() and _get_live_tracking_cwd()
- tools/code_execution_tool.py _get_or_create_environment()
Docs: website/docs/user-guide/configuration.md updated to reflect the
shared-container reality and document the RL/benchmark carve-out.
Tests: tests/tools/test_shared_container_task_id.py (9 cases).
Every command in COMMAND_REGISTRY (/btw, /stop, /model, /help, /new,
/bg, /reset, ...) is now a first-class Slack slash command instead of
a /hermes <subcommand>. Users get the same autocomplete-driven slash
picker experience Slack users expect and that Discord and Telegram
already provide.
Previously Slack registered ONE native slash (/hermes) and split on
the first word, so typing /btw in Slack's composer got 'couldn't find
an app for /btw' because the workspace manifest never declared it.
Changes
- hermes_cli/commands.py: slack_native_slashes() + slack_app_manifest()
generate a Slack manifest from the registry (canonical names +
aliases + plugin commands), clamped to Slack's 50-slash cap with
/hermes reserved as the catch-all.
- gateway/platforms/slack.py: single regex matcher dispatches every
registered slash to _handle_slash_command, which dispatches on
command['command']. Legacy /hermes <subcommand> keeps working for
backward compat with older workspace manifests.
- hermes_cli/slack_cli.py + hermes_cli/main.py: new 'hermes slack
manifest' command prints/writes a full manifest (display info,
OAuth scopes, event subs, socket mode, slash commands) ready to
paste into 'Create from manifest' or Features → App Manifest.
- hermes_cli/setup.py: _setup_slack() now writes the manifest up-front
and points users at the 'From an app manifest' flow; also offers
to refresh the manifest on reconfigure for picking up new commands.
- Tests: 14 new tests covering native-slash dispatch (/btw, /stop,
/model), legacy /hermes <sub> compat, manifest structure, and
telegram<->slack parity (every Telegram command must also register
as a Slack slash). Existing /hermes-registration test updated to
assert the new regex matches /hermes, /btw, /stop, /model, /help.
- Docs: slack.md gains a 'Slash Commands' section + Option A manifest
flow in Step 1; cli-commands.md documents 'hermes slack manifest'.
Users pick up the new slashes by running 'hermes slack manifest --write'
and pasting into Features → App Manifest → Edit in their Slack app
config, then Save (Slack prompts for reinstall if scopes changed).
* fix(tui): call maybe_auto_title for TUI sessions (#15961)
The maybe_auto_title() helper is called from cli.py and gateway/run.py
but was never wired into tui_gateway/server.py, so every session started
via 'hermes --tui' landed in state.db with an empty title. Evidence from
the issue reporter: 0/154 TUI sessions titled vs 91/383 CLI.
Mirror the CLI/Gateway pattern: after emitting message.complete, when the
turn finished cleanly, fire-and-forget title generation using the session
key, user prompt, agent response, and current history.
Fixes#15949.

* fix(/branch): redirect session_log_file and expose branch sessions in list
Two bugs when using /branch:
1. cli.py _handle_branch_command updated agent.session_id but not
agent.session_log_file, so all messages written after branching
landed in the original session's JSON file and the branch never
got its own session_{id}.json on disk.
Fix: mirror the compression-split path (run_agent.py:7579) and
update session_log_file immediately after changing session_id.
2. hermes_state.py list_sessions_rich filtered out every session
with parent_session_id IS NOT NULL to hide sub-agent runs and
compression continuations. Branch sessions share this column, so
they became invisible to `hermes sessions list` and `sessions browse`.
Fix: also include branch children — those whose parent ended with
end_reason='branched' AND whose started_at >= parent.ended_at
(the same timing condition that get_compression_tip uses to
distinguish continuations from live-spawned subagents).

When a cloud browser provider (Browserbase / Browser-Use / Firecrawl) is
configured, browser_navigate now transparently spawns a local Chromium
sidecar for URLs whose host resolves to a private/loopback/LAN address
(localhost, 127.0.0.1, 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, *.local, *.lan, *.internal,
::1, 169.254.x.x). Public URLs continue to use the cloud provider in the
same conversation.
Previously, setting BROWSERBASE_API_KEY / cloud_provider: browserbase
pinned the whole tool to cloud for the process — localhost URLs were
either SSRF-blocked (default) or sent to Browserbase (where they 404'd
because the cloud can't reach your LAN). Users who wanted 'cloud for
public, local for localhost' had no way to express it short of toggling
providers mid-session.
Implementation uses a composite session key scheme: the bare task_id
serves the cloud session, and a '{task_id}::local' sidecar serves the
local Chromium. _last_active_session_key[task_id] tracks which of the
two served the most recent nav so snapshot/click/fill/etc. hit the
correct one. cleanup_browser(bare_task_id) reaps both.
Feature is on by default. Opt out via:
browser:
auto_local_for_private_urls: false
The cloud provider never sees private URLs. Post-redirect SSRF guard
is preserved: redirects from public onto private addresses still block.
'hermes skills list' now shows every skill's enabled/disabled status
and accepts --enabled-only to filter down to what will actually load
for the active profile:
hermes -p dario skills list --enabled-only
Previously the command was a flat catalog — it did not apply
skills.disabled from config.yaml, so there was no way to see the
live skill set for a profile without reading config by hand.
Profile switching already works via -p (swaps HERMES_HOME); this
just surfaces the result visibly.
Changes:
- hermes_cli/skills_hub.py: do_list adds a Status column and an
enabled_only filter; summary reports enabled/disabled split
- hermes_cli/main.py: --enabled-only flag on 'skills list'
- /skills list slash command accepts --enabled-only too
- tests: 4 new (status column, disabled marking, enabled-only
hiding, no platform leakage into get_disabled_skill_names);
existing fixtures updated to accept skip_disabled kwarg
Reported by @mochizukimr on X.
Address Copilot review findings:
1. Gate _last_activity_desc on interrupt_depth == 0 alongside _last_activity_ts.
Both fields are semantically paired — desc describes the activity *at* ts.
Updating desc without ts made get_activity_summary() report "starting new
turn (cached)" for 20+ minutes while the timestamp showed the true stale
duration, producing misleading diagnostic output.
2. Monkeypatch gateway.run.time.time to a fixed epoch in tests that assert
on _last_activity_ts values. Real time.time() comparisons were latently
flaky under slow CI or NTP adjustments. _FAKE_NOW = 10_000.0 is used
as the reference; assertions are now exact equality rather than >=.
3. Add test_fresh_turn_resets_desc and test_interrupt_turn_preserves_desc to
directly cover the gated desc behaviour introduced by (1).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
_last_activity_ts was unconditionally reset to time.time() on every
_agent_cache hit. For interrupt-recursive _run_agent calls
(_interrupt_depth > 0) this silently reset the inactivity watchdog's
idle clock on each re-entry, preventing the 30-min timeout from ever
firing when a turn got stuck in an interrupt loop. A stuck session
would emit "Still working... iteration 0/60, starting new turn (cached)"
heartbeats indefinitely instead of timing out.
Gate the reset on _interrupt_depth == 0 only. Fresh external turns
still receive the reset so a session idle for 29 min doesn't trip the
watchdog before the new turn makes its first API call (#9051).
The per-turn reset logic is extracted into a static helper
_init_cached_agent_for_turn() to make it directly testable.

Follow-up to cherry-picked PR #15920:
- agent/credential_pool.py: hoist 'from hermes_cli.config import get_env_value'
to module top instead of inline try/except in each seed site (3 sites).
No import cycle — hermes_cli/config.py doesn't depend on agent.credential_pool.
- hermes_cli/auth.py: same hoist for the _resolve_api_key_provider_secret loop.
- tests/tools/test_credential_pool_env_fallback.py: replace smoke-only tests
with real .env file I/O. Each test writes a temp ~/.hermes/.env, verifies
_seed_from_env / _resolve_api_key_provider_secret read from it, and asserts
the full priority chain: os.environ > .env > credential_pool. Uses
'deepseek' as the test provider since 'openai' isn't in PROVIDER_REGISTRY
and _seed_from_env's generic path requires a real pconfig lookup.
New `hermes kanban` CLI subcommand + `/kanban` slash command + skills for
worker and orchestrator profiles. SQLite-backed task board
(~/.hermes/kanban.db) shared across all profiles on the host. Zero
changes to run_agent.py, no new core tools, no tool-schema bloat.
Motivation: delegate_task is a function call — sync fork/join, anonymous
subagent, no resumability, no human-in-the-loop. Kanban is the durable
shape needed for research triage, scheduled ops, digital twins,
engineering pipelines, and fleet work. They coexist (workers may call
delegate_task internally).
What this adds
- hermes_cli/kanban_db.py — schema, CAS claim, dependency resolution,
dispatcher, workspace resolution, worker-context builder.
- hermes_cli/kanban.py — 15-verb CLI surface and shared run_slash()
entry point used by both CLI and gateway.
- skills/devops/kanban-worker — how a profile should work a claimed task.
- skills/devops/kanban-orchestrator — "you are a dispatcher, not a
worker" template with anti-temptation rules.
- /kanban slash command wired into cli.py and gateway/run.py. Bypasses
the running-agent guard (board writes don't touch agent state), so
/kanban unblock can free a stuck worker mid-conversation.
- Design spec at docs/hermes-kanban-v1-spec.pdf — comparative analysis
vs Cline Kanban, Paperclip, NanoClaw, Gemini Enterprise; 8 patterns;
4 user stories; implementation plan; concurrency correctness.
- Docs: website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md, CLI reference
updated, sidebar entry added.
Architecture highlights
- Three planes: control (user + gateway), state (board + dispatcher),
execution (pool of profile processes).
- Every worker is a full OS process, spawned as `hermes -p <profile>`.
No in-process subagent swarms — solves NanoClaw's SDK-lifecycle
failure class.
- Atomic claim via SQLite CAS in a BEGIN IMMEDIATE transaction; stale
claims reclaimed 15 min after their TTL expires.
- Tenant namespacing via one nullable column — one specialist fleet
can serve many businesses with data isolation by workspace path.
Tests: 60 targeted tests (schema, CAS atomicity, dependency resolution,
dispatcher, workspace kinds, tenancy, CLI + slash surface). All pass
hermetic via scripts/run_tests.sh.
Follow-up to PR #16053 (/btw as /background alias). Cleans up the
plumbing added exclusively for the old ephemeral /btw handler and
repairs a broken btw bypass that landed between my refactor and this
follow-up.
run_agent.py:
- Remove persist_session kwarg, instance attr, and _persist_session
short-circuit. Only /btw ever passed persist_session=False; with
/btw gone the default (always persist) is the only behavior anyone
ever wanted.
gateway/run.py:
- Remove the unreachable 'if _cmd_def_inner.name == "btw"' block
(PR #16059). Canonical name for a /btw message is 'background' after
alias resolution — the comparison could never be true, and it called
_handle_btw_command which no longer exists. The /background branch
above it already dispatches /btw correctly.
tests/gateway/test_running_agent_session_toggles.py:
- Fix test_btw_dispatches_mid_run to mock _handle_background_command
(the real dispatch target for /btw) instead of the deleted
_handle_btw_command.
/btw spawns a parallel ephemeral side-question task (self-guarded against
concurrent /btw on the same chat) — exactly like /background. But it was
missing from the running-agent bypass list in _handle_message(), so it
fell through to the catch-all and returned:
⏳ Agent is running — /btw can't run mid-turn. Wait for the current
response or /stop first.
That's the opposite of what /btw is for — asking a side question while
the main turn is still working. Add the bypass next to /background and a
regression test covering the mid-turn dispatch path.
Reported by @IuriiTiunov on Telegram.
PR #16046 added /busy and /verbose hints to the classic CLI and the
gateway runner but skipped the Ink TUI (and therefore the dashboard
/chat page, which embeds the TUI via PTY). This extends the same
latch to the TUI with TUI-native wording.
The TUI's busy-input model is not the /busy knob from the CLI —
single Enter while busy auto-queues, double Enter on an empty line
interrupts. The new busy-input hint teaches THAT gesture instead of
telling the user to flip a config that does not apply.
Changes:
- agent/onboarding.py — add busy_input_hint_tui() + tool_progress_hint_tui()
- tui_gateway/server.py — onboarding.claim JSON-RPC (Ink triggers busy
hint on enqueue) + _maybe_emit_onboarding_hint helper hooked into
_on_tool_complete for the 30s/tool_progress=all path. Same
config.yaml latch so each hint fires at most once per install across
CLI, gateway, and TUI combined.
- ui-tui/src/gatewayTypes.ts — OnboardingClaimResponse + onboarding.hint event
- ui-tui/src/app/createGatewayEventHandler.ts — render the hint event as sys()
- ui-tui/src/app/useSubmission.ts — claim busy_input_prompt on first
busy enqueue
- tests/agent/test_onboarding.py — +3 cases for TUI hint shape
- tests/tui_gateway/test_protocol.py — +4 cases for onboarding.claim
- website/docs/user-guide/tui.md — new 'Interrupting and queueing'
section explaining the TUI's double-Enter model and the hints

Manage the fallback_providers chain from the CLI instead of hand-editing
config.yaml. The picker reuses select_provider_and_model() from 'hermes
model' — same provider list, same credential prompts, same model picker.
hermes fallback [list] Show the current chain (primary + fallbacks)
hermes fallback add Run the model picker, append selection to chain
hermes fallback remove Pick an entry to delete (arrow-key menu)
hermes fallback clear Remove all entries (with confirmation)
'add' snapshots config['model'] before calling the picker, extracts the
user's selection from the post-picker state, then restores the primary
and appends {provider, model, base_url?, api_mode?} to fallback_providers.
Auth store's active_provider is snapshot/restored too so OAuth-provider
fallbacks don't silently deactivate the user's primary. Duplicates and
self-as-fallback are rejected. Legacy single-dict 'fallback_model' entries
are auto-migrated to the list format on first write.
Instead of a blocking first-run questionnaire, show a one-time hint the first
time the user hits each behavior fork:
1. First message while the agent is working — appends a hint to the busy-ack
explaining the /busy queue vs /busy interrupt knob, phrased to match the
mode that was just applied (don't tell a queue-mode user to switch to
queue).
2. First tool that runs for >= 30s in the noisiest progress mode
(tool_progress: all) — prints a hint about /verbose to cycle display
modes (all -> new -> off -> verbose). Gated on /verbose actually being
usable on the surface: always shown on CLI; on gateway only shown when
display.tool_progress_command is enabled.
Each hint is latched in config.yaml under onboarding.seen.<flag>, so it
fires exactly once per install across CLI, gateway, and cron, then never
again. Users can wipe the section to re-see hints.
New:
- agent/onboarding.py — is_seen / mark_seen / hint strings, shared by
both CLI and gateway.
- onboarding.seen in DEFAULT_CONFIG (hermes_cli/config.py) and in
load_cli_config defaults (cli.py). No _config_version bump — deep
merge handles new keys.
Wired:
- gateway/run.py: _handle_active_session_busy_message appends the hint
after building the ack. progress_callback tracks tool.completed
duration and queues the tool-progress hint into the progress bubble.
- cli.py: CLI input loop appends the busy-input hint on the first busy
Enter; _on_tool_progress appends the tool-progress hint on the first
>=30s tool completion. In-memory CLI_CONFIG is also updated so
subsequent fires in the same process are suppressed immediately.
All writes go through atomic_yaml_write and are wrapped in try/except
so onboarding can never break the input/busy-ack paths.
The base adapter's auto-TTS path fired on any voice message unless the
chat had explicitly run /voice off — it never read voice.auto_tts from
config.yaml, so users who set auto_tts: false still got audio replies.
Gate the base adapter on a three-layer decision instead:
1. chat in _auto_tts_enabled_chats (explicit /voice on|tts) → fire
2. chat in _auto_tts_disabled_chats (explicit /voice off) → suppress
3. else → voice.auto_tts global default
Runner now pushes voice.auto_tts onto the adapter as _auto_tts_default
and mirrors /voice on|tts chats into _auto_tts_enabled_chats via the
existing _sync_voice_mode_state_to_adapter path. /voice off still wins.
Closes#16007.
When the LLM response carries N parallel tool calls, the agent fires
N tool.started events back-to-back before its interrupt check runs.
A user sending /stop mid-batch would see the '⚡ Interrupting current
task' ack followed by a trail of 🔍 web_search bubbles for the remaining
events in the batch — making the interrupt feel ignored.
progress_callback and the drain loop in send_progress_messages now
check agent.is_interrupted (via agent_holder[0], the existing
cross-scope handle). Events that arrive after interrupt are dropped
at both the queueing and rendering stages. The '⚡ Interrupting'
message is sent through a separate adapter path and is unaffected.
OpenRouter and Nous Portal curated picker lists now resolve via a JSON
manifest served by the docs site, falling back to the in-repo snapshot
when unreachable. Lets us update model lists without shipping a release.
Live URL: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/api/model-catalog.json
(source at website/static/api/model-catalog.json; auto-deploys via the
existing deploy-site.yml GitHub Pages pipeline on every merge to main).
Schema (v1) carries id + optional description + free-form metadata at
manifest, provider, and model levels. Pricing and context length stay
live-fetched via existing machinery (/v1/models endpoints, models.dev).
Config (new model_catalog section, default enabled):
model_catalog.url master manifest URL
model_catalog.ttl_hours disk cache TTL (default 24h)
model_catalog.providers.<name>.url optional per-provider override
Fetch pipeline: in-process cache -> disk cache (fresh < TTL) -> HTTP
fetch -> disk-cache-on-failure fallback -> in-repo snapshot as last
resort. Never raises to callers; at worst returns the bundled list.
Changes:
- website/static/api/model-catalog.json initial manifest (35 OR + 31 Nous)

Stop pre-stripping the path from the configured MCP server URL before
constructing OAuthClientProvider. The MCP SDK strips the path itself via
OAuthContext.get_authorization_base_url() for authorization-server
discovery, but uses the full server_url through
resource_url_from_server_url() + check_resource_allowed() to validate
against the server's RFC 9728 Protected Resource Metadata.
For servers whose PRM advertises a path-scoped resource (e.g. Notion's
https://mcp.notion.com/mcp), our _parse_base_url() collapsed the URL to
the origin, so check_resource_allowed() saw requested='/' vs
configured='/mcp/' and refused the token. Fixes OAuth against Notion MCP
(and any other path-scoped resource).
Closes#16015.
`_apply_model_switch_result` (the interactive `/model` picker's
confirmation path) printed `ModelInfo.context_window` straight from
models.dev, which reports the vendor-wide value (1.05M for gpt-5.5 on
openai). ChatGPT Codex OAuth caps the same slug at 272K, so the picker
showed 1M while the runtime (compressor, gateway `/model`, typed
`/model <name>`) correctly used 272K — the classic 'sometimes 1M,
sometimes 272K' mismatch on a single model.
Both display paths now go through `resolve_display_context_length()`,
matching the fix that `_handle_model_switch` received earlier.
Also bump the stale last-resort fallback in DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS
(`gpt-5.5: 400000 -> 1050000`) to match the real OpenAI API value; the
272K Codex cap is already enforced via the Codex-OAuth branch, so the
fallback now reflects what every non-Codex probe-miss should see.
Tests: adds `test_apply_model_switch_result_context.py` with three
scenarios (Codex cap wins, OpenRouter shows 1.05M, resolver-empty falls
back to ModelInfo). Updates the existing non-Codex fallback test to
assert 1.05M (the correct value).
## Validation
| path | before | after |
|-------------------------------|-----------|-----------|
| picker -> gpt-5.5 on Codex | 1,050,000 | 272,000 |
| picker -> gpt-5.5 on OpenAI | 1,050,000 | 1,050,000 |
| picker -> gpt-5.5 on OpenRouter | 1,050,000 | 1,050,000 |
| typed /model gpt-5.5 on Codex | 272,000 | 272,000 |
#14934 added deepseek-v4-pro / deepseek-v4-flash to the DeepSeek native
provider but the context-window lookup still falls back to the existing
"deepseek" substring entry (128K). DeepSeek V4 ships with a 1M context
window, so any caller relying on get_model_context_length() for
pre-flight token budgeting (compression, context warnings) under-counts
by ~8x.
Add explicit lowercase entries for the four DeepSeek model ids that
ship 1M context:
- deepseek-v4-pro
- deepseek-v4-flash
- deepseek-chat (legacy alias, server-side maps to v4-flash non-thinking)
- deepseek-reasoner (legacy alias, server-side maps to v4-flash thinking)
Longest-key-first substring matching means these explicit entries also
cover the vendor-prefixed forms (deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro on OpenRouter
and Nous Portal) without regressing the existing 128K fallback for
older / unknown DeepSeek model ids on custom endpoints.

The background skill-review prompt (spawned after N user turns) now instructs
the reviewer to SURVEY existing skills first, identify the CLASS of task, and
PREFER updating/generalizing an existing skill over creating a new narrow one.
This reduces near-duplicate skill accumulation at the source. Catches the
common failure mode where repeated tasks of the same class each spawn their
own specific skill ("fix-my-tauri-error", "fix-my-electron-error") instead
of a single class-level skill ("desktop-app-build-troubleshooting").
Applied to both _SKILL_REVIEW_PROMPT and the **Skills** half of
_COMBINED_REVIEW_PROMPT. Memory-only review prompt unchanged.
Groundwork for the Curator feature (issue #7816) — the creation-side fix.
Curator handles the retirement/consolidation side in a follow-up PR.
Tests assert the behavioral instructions are present (survey, class, update-
over-create, overlap-flagging, opt-out clause) rather than snapshotting the
full prompt text.
Nous Portal multiplexes multiple upstream providers (DeepSeek, Kimi,
MiMo, Hermes) behind one endpoint. Before this fix, any 429 on any of
those models recorded a cross-session file breaker that blocked EVERY
model on Nous for the cooldown window -- even though the caller's
own RPM/RPH/TPM/TPH buckets were healthy. Users hit a DeepSeek V4 Pro
capacity error, restarted, switched to Kimi 2.6, and still got
'Nous Portal rate limit active -- resets in 46m 53s'.
Nous already emits the full x-ratelimit-* header suite on every
response (captured by rate_limit_tracker into agent._rate_limit_state).
We now gate the breaker on that data: trip it only when either the
429's own headers or the last-known-good state show a bucket with
remaining == 0 AND a reset window >= 60s. Upstream-capacity 429s
(healthy buckets everywhere, but upstream out of capacity) fall
through to normal retry/fallback and the breaker is never written.
Note: the in-memory 'restart TUI/gateway to clear' workaround
circulated in Discord does NOT work -- the breaker is file-backed at
~/.hermes/rate_limits/nous.json. The workaround for users still
affected by a bad state file is to delete it.
Reported in Discord by CrazyDok1 and KYSIV (Apr 2026).
Plugin hooks fired after a tool dispatch now receive an integer
duration_ms kwarg measuring how long the tool's registry.dispatch()
call took (time.monotonic() before/after). Inspired by Claude Code
2.1.119 which added the same field to PostToolUse hook inputs.
Wire points:
- model_tools.py: measure dispatch latency, pass duration_ms to
invoke_hook("post_tool_call", ...) and invoke_hook("transform_tool_result", ...)
- hermes_cli/hooks.py: include duration_ms in the synthetic payload
used by 'hermes hooks test' and 'hermes hooks doctor' so shell-hook
authors see the same shape at development time as runtime
- shell hooks (agent/shell_hooks.py): no code change needed;
_serialize_payload already surfaces non-top-level kwargs under
payload['extra'], so duration_ms lands at extra.duration_ms for
shell-hook scripts
Plugin authors can now build latency dashboards, per-tool SLO alerts,
and regression canaries without having to wrap every tool manually.
Test: tests/test_model_tools.py::test_post_tool_call_receives_non_negative_integer_duration_ms
E2E: real PluginManager + dispatch monkey-patched with a 50ms sleep,
hook callback observes duration_ms=50 (int).

Adds a floor below --yolo: a tiny set of commands so catastrophic they
should never run via the agent, regardless of --yolo, gateway /yolo,
approvals.mode=off, or cron approve mode. Opting into yolo is trusting
the agent with your files and services — not trusting it to wipe the
disk or power the box off.
The list is deliberately small (12 patterns), covering only
unrecoverable ops:
- rm -rf targeting /, /home, /etc, /usr, /var, /boot, /bin, /sbin,
/lib, ~, $HOME
- mkfs (any variant)
- dd + redirection to raw block devices (/dev/sd*, /dev/nvme*, etc.)
- fork bomb
- kill -1 / kill -9 -1
- shutdown, reboot, halt, poweroff, init 0/6, telinit 0/6,
systemctl poweroff/reboot/halt/kexec
Recoverable-but-costly commands (git reset --hard, rm -rf /tmp/x,
chmod -R 777, curl | sh) stay in DANGEROUS_PATTERNS where yolo can
still pass them through — that's what yolo is for.
Container backends (docker/singularity/modal/daytona) continue to
bypass both hardline and dangerous checks, since nothing they do can
touch the host.
Inspired by Mercury Agent's permission-hardened blocklist.
Bare `hermes setup` on a returning user now drops straight into the
full reconfigure wizard — every prompt shows the current value as its
default, press Enter to keep or type a new value to change it. The
returning-user menu is gone.
Behavior:
- First-time user: first-time wizard (unchanged)
- Returning user, bare command: full reconfigure wizard (new default)
- Returning user, `--quick`: only prompt for missing/unset items
- Returning user, one section: `hermes setup model|terminal|gateway|tools|agent`
- `--reconfigure`: preserved as backwards-compat alias (no-op since it's now default)
The section functions already used current values as prompt defaults —
this change just removes the extra click to get to them.
The 'Quick Setup - configure missing items only' menu option is now
exposed as the explicit `--quick` flag; it's the narrow case of
filling in missing config (e.g. after a partial OpenClaw migration or
when a required API key got cleared).
Inspired by Mercury Agent's `mercury doctor` UX.
Also removes:
- RETURNING_USER_MENU_SECTION_KEYS (orphaned constant)
- Two returning-user menu tests in test_setup_noninteractive.py
(guarding behavior that no longer exists — covered by
test_setup_reconfigure.py instead)
The azure-foundry wizard now probes the endpoint before asking the user
to pick anything by hand:
1. URL path sniff — endpoints ending in /anthropic are Azure Foundry
Claude routes and skip to anthropic_messages.
2. GET <base>/models probe — if the endpoint returns an OpenAI-shaped
model list, we switch to chat_completions and prefill the picker
with the returned deployment/model IDs.
3. Anthropic Messages probe — fallback for endpoints that don't expose
/models but do speak the Anthropic Messages shape.
4. Manual fallback — private endpoints / custom routes still work;
the user picks API mode + types a deployment name.
Context length for the selected model is resolved through the existing
agent.model_metadata.get_model_context_length chain (models.dev,
provider metadata, hardcoded family fallbacks) and stored in
model.context_length when a non-default value is found.
Also refactors runtime_provider so Azure Foundry resolution is reused
between the explicit-credentials path and the default top-level path —
previously the /v1 strip for Anthropic-style Azure only ran when the
caller passed explicit_* args, which meant config-driven sessions
hit a double-/v1 URL.
New module hermes_cli/azure_detect.py with 19 unit tests covering:
- path sniff, model ID extraction, probe fallbacks
- HTTP error handling (URLError, HTTPError)
- context-length lookup passthrough
- DEFAULT_FALLBACK_CONTEXT rejection
New runtime tests cover:
- OpenAI-style Azure Foundry
- Anthropic-style Azure Foundry with /v1 stripping
- Missing base_url / API key raising AuthError
Rationale: Microsoft confirms there's no pure-API-key endpoint to list
Azure deployments (that requires ARM management auth). The v1 Azure
OpenAI endpoint does expose /models with the resource's available
model catalog, which is good enough for picker prefill in the common
case. Users on private/gated endpoints fall through to manual entry.
Azure OpenAI exposes an OpenAI-compatible endpoint at
`{resource}.openai.azure.com/openai/v1` that accepts the standard
`openai` Python client. Two issues prevented gpt-5.x models from working:
1. `_max_tokens_param()` only sent `max_completion_tokens` for
`api.openai.com` URLs. Azure also requires `max_completion_tokens`
for gpt-5.x models.
2. The `codex_responses` upgrade gate unconditionally upgraded gpt-5.x
to Responses API. Azure does NOT support the Responses API — it serves
gpt-5.x on the regular `/chat/completions` path, causing a 404.
Fix: add `_is_azure_openai_url()` that matches `openai.azure.com` URLs.
- `_max_tokens_param()` now returns `max_completion_tokens` for Azure.
- The `codex_responses` upgrade gate skips Azure so gpt-5.x stays on
`chat_completions` where Azure actually serves it.
- The fallback-provider api_mode picker also recognises Azure and stays
on chat_completions.
- Tests cover max_tokens routing, api_mode behaviour, and URL detection.
gpt-4.x models on Azure are unaffected (already used chat_completions +
max_tokens, which Azure accepts for those models).
Salvage of PR #10086 — rewritten against current main where the
codex_responses upgrade gate gained copilot-acp / explicit-api_mode
exclusions.
Fixes#15779. Custom-provider per-model context_length (`custom_providers[].models.<id>.context_length`) is now honored across every resolution path, not just agent startup. Also adds 256K as the top probe tier and default fallback.
## What changed
New helper `hermes_cli.config.get_custom_provider_context_length()` — single source of truth for the per-model override lookup, with trailing-slash-insensitive base-url matching.
`agent.model_metadata.get_model_context_length()` gains an optional `custom_providers=` kwarg (step 0b — runs after explicit `config_context_length` but before every other probe).
Wired through five call sites that previously either duplicated the lookup or ignored it entirely:
- `run_agent.py` startup — refactored to use the new helper (dedups legacy inline loop, keeps invalid-value warning)
- `AIAgent.switch_model()` — re-reads custom_providers from live config on every /model switch
- `hermes_cli.model_switch.resolve_display_context_length()` — new `custom_providers=` kwarg
- `gateway/run.py` /model confirmation (picker callback + text path)
- `gateway/run.py` `_format_session_info` (/info)
## Context probe tiers
`CONTEXT_PROBE_TIERS = [256_000, 128_000, 64_000, 32_000, 16_000, 8_000]` — was `[128_000, ...]`. `DEFAULT_FALLBACK_CONTEXT` follows tier[0], so unknown models now default to 256K. The stale `128000` literal in the OpenRouter metadata-miss path is replaced with `DEFAULT_FALLBACK_CONTEXT` for consistency.
## Repro (from #15779)
```yaml
custom_providers:
- name: my-custom-endpoint
base_url: https://example.invalid/v1
model: gpt-5.5
models:
gpt-5.5:
context_length: 1050000
```
`/model gpt-5.5 --provider custom:my-custom-endpoint` → previously "Context: 128,000", now "Context: 1,050,000".
## Tests
- `tests/hermes_cli/test_custom_provider_context_length.py` — new file, 19 tests covering the helper, step-0b integration, and the 256K tier invariants
- `tests/hermes_cli/test_model_switch_context_display.py` — added regression tests for #15779 through the display resolver
- `tests/gateway/test_session_info.py` — updated default-fallback assertion (128K → 256K)
- `tests/agent/test_model_metadata.py` — updated tier assertions for the new top tier
Add ability to interrupt a running agent via the runs API. Previously
/v1/runs could start a run and subscribe to events, but there was no
way to cancel it. The new endpoint stores agent and task references
during execution, calls agent.interrupt() to stop LLM calls, then
cancels the asyncio task.
Includes 15 tests covering start, events, and stop scenarios.
When the user interrupts a long-running task, prompt_toolkit tries to
flush stdout during emergency shutdown. If stdout is in a broken state
(redirected to /dev/null, pipe closed, terminal gone), the flush raises
`OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error` which propagates unhandled and
crashes the CLI.
Two defense layers:
1. `_suppress_closed_loop_errors`: add `OSError` with `errno.EIO` to
the asyncio exception handler, matching the existing pattern for
`RuntimeError("Event loop is closed")` and `KeyError("is not
registered")`.
2. Outer `except (KeyError, OSError)` block: add `errno.EIO` check
before the existing string-match guards, silently suppressing the
error instead of printing a misleading stdin-related message.
Fixes#13710.
The raw-template lookup added in PR #15817 went through
`get_compatible_custom_providers(read_raw_config())`, which calls
`_normalize_custom_provider_entry` → `urlparse(base_url)`. Any
entry whose `base_url` is itself an env-ref (`${NEURALWATT_API_BASE}`)
was dropped as 'not a valid URL', so `api_key_ref` stayed empty and the
resolved secret was still written to `model.api_key` — the exact case
the original Discord report described.
Replace the normalizer-gated lookup with a direct read of
`raw['custom_providers']` and `raw['providers']`, indexed by name
(case-insensitive, optionally qualified by model) so the loaded
(expanded) entry can be matched regardless of how `base_url` is
written.
Add an integration regression test driving the real
`select_provider_and_model` entry point with the Discord-reported
NeuralWatt config (`${VAR}` in both `base_url` and `api_key`).
This test fails on the PR-only fix and passes with the broadened
lookup.
Previously _copy_reasoning_content_for_api only padded reasoning_content
when the assistant message had tool_calls. DeepSeek V4 thinking mode
requires the field on every assistant turn, including plain text replies
without tool_calls.
- Remove the 'source_msg.get("tool_calls") and' guard
- Update test: plain assistant turns now get padded for DeepSeek/Kimi
Fixes#15213
- expand short model aliases like sonnet/opus via static catalogs during startup runtime resolution
- keep startup alias resolution network-free and add regression tests in models and tui gateway suites
The Codex Responses API rejects input_text inside assistant messages —
only output_text and refusal are valid content types for assistant role.
_chat_content_to_responses_parts() previously hardcoded all text content
to input_text regardless of the message role. When an assistant message
had list-format content (multimodal or structured), this produced invalid
input_text parts that the API rejected with:
Invalid value: 'input_text'. Supported values are: 'output_text' and 'refusal'.
Fix: add a role parameter to _chat_content_to_responses_parts() that
selects output_text for assistant messages and input_text for user
messages. Thread this through _chat_messages_to_responses_input() and
_preflight_codex_input_items().
Fixes#15687
When a user sends /stop during a streaming API call, the outer poll loop
detects _interrupt_requested and closes the HTTP connection. However, the
inner _call() thread catches the connection error and enters its retry
loop — opening a FRESH connection without checking the interrupt flag.
On slow providers like ollama-cloud, each retry attempt blocks for the
full stream-read timeout (120s+). With 3 retry attempts this caused
510+ second delays between /stop and actual response — the agent appeared
completely unresponsive despite the stop being acknowledged.
Fix: add an _interrupt_requested check at the top of the streaming retry
loop so the agent exits immediately instead of retrying.
Also fix log truncation: all session key logging in gateway/run.py used
[:20] or [:30] slices, which truncated 'agent:main:telegram:dm:5690190437'
(33 chars) to 'agent:main:telegram:' — losing the identifying chat type
and user ID. Replace with full keys to make logs debuggable.
Reported by user Sidharth Pulipaka via Telegram on ollama-cloud provider.
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.
_check_compression_model_feasibility calls get_model_context_length
without provider=, so Codex OAuth users get 1,050,000 (from models.dev
for 'openai') instead of the actual 272,000 limit. This happens because
_infer_provider_from_url maps chatgpt.com → 'openai' (not 'openai-codex'),
skipping the Codex-specific resolution branch entirely.
Result: compression threshold set at 85% of 1.05M = 892K — conversations
never trigger compression, the context grows unbounded, and when gateway
hygiene eventually forces compression, the Codex endpoint drops the
oversized streaming request ('peer closed connection without sending
complete message body').
Fix: forward self.provider to get_model_context_length so provider-
specific resolution branches (Codex OAuth 272K, Copilot live /models,
Nous suffix-match) fire correctly.

* 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

* 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
* 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.
`hermes tools` → "reconfigure existing" listed Spotify twice because
the Apr 24 refactor that moved Spotify into plugins/spotify/ (PR #15174)
left the entry in CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS. _get_effective_configurable_toolsets()
unconditionally appended get_plugin_toolsets() on top, so the same
'spotify' key showed up from both sources.
Dedupe by key — built-in CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS entry wins (it has the
nicer label and description). Also guards against future bundled plugins
that share a toolset key with a built-in.
Generalize the temperature-specific 400 retry that shipped in PR #15621 so
the same reactive strategy covers any provider that rejects an arbitrary
request parameter — — not just temperature.
- agent/auxiliary_client.py:
* New _is_unsupported_parameter_error(exc, param): matches the same six
phrasings the old temperature detector did plus 'unrecognized parameter'
and 'invalid parameter', against any named param.
* _is_unsupported_temperature_error is now a thin back-compat wrapper so
existing imports and tests keep working.
* The max_tokens → max_completion_tokens retry branch in call_llm and
async_call_llm now (a) gates on 'max_tokens is not None' so we do not
pop a key that was never set and silently substitute a None value on
the retry, and (b) also matches the generic helper in addition to the
legacy 'max_tokens' / 'unsupported_parameter' substring checks — picking
up phrasings like 'Unknown parameter: max_tokens' that previously slipped
through.
- tests/agent/test_unsupported_parameter_retry.py: 18 new tests covering
the generic detector across params, the back-compat wrapper, and the two
hardenings to the max_tokens retry branch (None gate + generic phrasing).
Credit: retry-generalization pattern from @nicholasrae's PR #15416. That PR
also proposed the reactive temperature retry which landed independently via
PR #15621 + #15623 (co-authored with @BlueBirdBack). This commit salvages
the remaining hardening ideas onto current main.
When the auxiliary compression model's context is smaller than the main
model's compression threshold, _check_compression_model_feasibility
auto-lowers the session threshold. Previously it set:
new_threshold = aux_context
This let the raw message list grow to exactly aux_context tokens. But
compression and flush_memories actually send system_prompt + tool_schemas
+ messages to the aux model. With 50+ tools that overhead is 25-30K
tokens, so the full request overflowed aux with HTTP 400.
Subtract a headroom estimate from aux_context before setting the new
threshold: the actual tool-schema token count (from
estimate_request_tokens_rough) plus a 12K allowance for the system
prompt (not yet built at __init__ time) and flush-instruction overhead.
Clamp to MINIMUM_CONTEXT_LENGTH so the session still starts even with
an unusually heavy tool schema.
This fixes the 'flush_memories overflow on busy toolsets' path that
Teknium flagged — where main and aux can be nominally the same model
but still 400 because the threshold left no room for the request
overhead. Same fix also protects the normal compression summarisation
request on the same binding aux.
Tests: two new regression tests cover the headroom reservation and the
MINIMUM_CONTEXT_LENGTH floor. Two existing tests updated for the new
(lower) threshold values now that empty-tools still produces a 12K
static headroom deduction.
Universal reactive fix for 'HTTP 400: Unsupported parameter: temperature'
across all providers/models — not just Codex Responses.
The same backend can accept temperature for some models and reject it for
others (e.g. gpt-5.4 accepts but gpt-5.5 rejects on the same OpenAI
endpoint; similar patterns on Copilot, OpenRouter reasoning routes, and
Anthropic Opus 4.7+ via OAI-compat). An allow/deny-list by model name does
not scale.
call_llm / async_call_llm now detect the concrete 'unsupported parameter:
temperature' 400 and transparently retry once without temperature. Kimi's
server-managed omission and Opus 4.7+'s proactive strip stay in place —
this is the safety net for everything else.
Changes:
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: add _is_unsupported_temperature_error helper;
wire into both sync and async call_llm paths before the existing
max_tokens/payment/auth retry ladder
- tests/agent/test_unsupported_temperature_retry.py: 19 tests covering
detector phrasings, sync + async retry, no-retry-without-temperature,
and non-temperature 400s not triggering the retry
Builds on PR #15620 (codex_responses fallback) which stripped temperature
up front for that one api_mode. This PR closes the gap for every other
provider/model combo via reactive retry.
Credit: retry approach and detector originate from @BlueBirdBack's PR #15578.

The memory-flush fallback for api_mode='codex_responses' was unconditionally
adding `temperature` to codex_kwargs before calling _run_codex_stream. The
Responses API does not accept temperature on any supported backend:
- chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex rejects it outright
- api.openai.com + gpt-5/o-series reasoning models reject it
- Copilot Responses rejects it on reasoning models
The CodexAuxiliaryClient adapter and the codex_responses transport both
correctly omit temperature — the flush fallback was the only path putting
it back. On errors from the primary aux path (e.g. expired OAuth token),
users saw `⚠ Auxiliary memory flush failed: HTTP 400: Unsupported parameter:
temperature`.
Reported by Garik [NOUS] on GPT-5.5 via Codex OAuth Pro.
Both discord (read/participate) and discord_admin (server admin) are now
configurable via `hermes tools` with default-OFF. Previously the core
discord tool (fetch_messages, search_members, create_thread) auto-loaded
on every Discord install with DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN set — 19 tools the user
never opted into.
Adds a platform-scoping mechanism (_TOOLSET_PLATFORM_RESTRICTIONS) so
the discord toolsets only show up in the Discord platform's checklist,
not on CLI/Telegram/Slack/etc. Applied at four gates:
- _prompt_toolset_checklist: checklist filter
- _get_platform_tools: resolution filter (both branches)
- _save_platform_tools: save-time filter (covers 'Configure all
platforms' and hand-edited config.yaml)
- tools_disable_enable_command: rejects `hermes tools enable discord`
on non-Discord platforms with a clear error
build_session_context_prompt now injects the Discord IDs block only
when both conditions hold: the discord/discord_admin toolset is
enabled AND DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN is set. Toolset alone isn't enough —
the tool's check_fn gates on the token at registry time, so opting
in without a token yields no tools and the IDs block would lie.
Otherwise keep the stale-API disclaimer.
The feishu_doc and feishu_drive tools were registered in the tool
registry but never added to the hermes-feishu composite toolset.
The pipeline fix from the prior commit now recovers them automatically
once they are in the composite.
Split the monolithic discord_server tool (14 actions) into two:
- discord: core actions (fetch_messages, search_members, create_thread)
that are useful for the agent's normal operation. Auto-enabled on
the discord platform via the pipeline fix.
- discord_admin: server management actions (list channels/roles, pins,
role assignment) that require explicit opt-in via hermes tools.
Added to CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS and _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS.
The reverse-mapping loop in _get_platform_tools only checked
CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS, silently dropping platform-specific toolsets
like discord and feishu_doc whose tools were in the composite but
had no configurable key. Add a second pass over TOOLSETS that picks
up unclaimed toolsets whose tools are present in the resolved
composite.
The tool schema promised 'On update, pass an empty array to clear' but the
update branch ignored the context_from kwarg entirely — users could set
the field at create time and never modify or clear it afterward.
- tools/cronjob_tools.py: handle context_from in the update branch the
same way script/enabled_toolsets/workdir are handled: normalize str/list
to refs, validate each referenced job exists (same check the create
branch does), store as list-or-None to match create_job()'s shape.
Empty string or empty list clears the field.
- tests/cron/test_cron_context_from.py: 6 new tests covering add/change/
clear (both shapes)/bad-ref/preserve-across-unrelated-update.
YAML parses bare numeric toolset names (e.g. 12306:) as int, causing
TypeError in sorted() since the read path normalizes to str but the
save path did not.
The no_mcp sentinel was preserved in existing entries even when the
user re-enabled MCP servers, causing MCP to stay silently disabled.
update_model() recalculated threshold_tokens but left tail_token_budget
and max_summary_tokens at their __init__ values. When switching from a
200K model to 32K, the tail budget stayed at ~20K tokens (62% of 32K)
instead of the intended ~10%.
Adds budget recalculation in update_model() and 2 regression tests.
Subagents run inside a ThreadPoolExecutor. The CLI's interactive approval
callback lives in tools/terminal_tool.py's threading.local(), which worker
threads do not inherit. When a subagent hits a dangerous-command guard,
prompt_dangerous_approval() falls back to input() from the worker thread,
deadlocking against the parent's prompt_toolkit TUI that owns stdin.
Fix: install a non-interactive callback into every subagent worker thread
via ThreadPoolExecutor(initializer=set_approval_callback, initargs=(cb,)).
The callback is config-gated by delegation.subagent_auto_approve:
false (default) -> _subagent_auto_deny (safe; matches leaf tool blocklist)
true -> _subagent_auto_approve (opt-in YOLO for cron/batch)
Both emit a logger.warning audit line. Gateway sessions are unaffected
because they resolve approvals via tools/approval.py's per-session queue,
not through these TLS callbacks. Diagnosis credit: @MorAlekss (#14685).
- hermes_cli/config.py: DEFAULT_CONFIG.delegation.subagent_auto_approve: False
- cli-config.yaml.example: documented, commented (default)
- tools/delegate_tool.py: _subagent_auto_deny, _subagent_auto_approve,
_get_subagent_approval_callback, wired into the child timeout executor
- tests/tools/test_delegate.py: 7 tests covering defaults, truthy coercion,
and TLS scoping in the worker thread
Two adjustments to make CI pass:
- In gateway/platforms/matrix.py: `DeviceID` is `NewType("DeviceID", str)`,
so passing `client.device_id` directly (already a str) works identically
at runtime. The explicit import was cosmetic and tripped CI environments
where `mautrix.types` doesn't re-export DeviceID at the expected path
("cannot import name 'DeviceID' from 'mautrix.types' (unknown location)").
- In tests/gateway/test_matrix.py: add `put_device_id` to the hand-written
`PgCryptoStore` fake so the three encryption-path tests
(test_connect_with_access_token_and_encryption,
test_connect_uses_configured_device_id_over_whoami,
test_connect_registers_encrypted_event_handler_when_encryption_on) can
exercise the new crypto-store binding without AttributeError.
/model gpt-5.5 on openai-codex showed 'Context: 1,050,000 tokens' because
the display block used ModelInfo.context_window directly from models.dev.
Codex OAuth actually enforces 272K for the same slug, and the agent's
compressor already runs at 272K via get_model_context_length() — so the
banner + real context budget said 272K while /model lied with 1M.
Route the display context through a new resolve_display_context_length()
helper that always prefers agent.model_metadata.get_model_context_length
(which knows about Codex OAuth, Copilot, Nous caps) and only falls back
to models.dev when that returns nothing.
Fix applied to all 3 /model display sites:
cli.py _handle_model_switch
gateway/run.py picker on_model_selected callback
gateway/run.py text-fallback confirmation
Reported by @emilstridell (Telegram, April 2026).
The three google-workspace scripts (setup.py, google_api.py, gws_bridge.py)
each had their own way of resolving HERMES_HOME:
- setup.py imported hermes_constants (crashes outside Hermes process)
- google_api.py used os.getenv inline (no strip, no empty handling)
- gws_bridge.py defined its own local get_hermes_home() (duplicate)
Extract the common logic into _hermes_home.py which:
- Delegates to hermes_constants when available (profile support, etc.)
- Falls back to os.getenv with .strip() + empty-as-unset handling
- Provides display_hermes_home() with ~/ shortening for profiles
All three scripts now import from _hermes_home instead of duplicating.
7 regression tests cover the fallback path: env var override, default
~/.hermes, empty env var, display shortening, profile paths, and
custom non-home paths.
Closes#12722
Extracts _needs_kimi_tool_reasoning() for symmetry with the existing
_needs_deepseek_tool_reasoning() helper, so _copy_reasoning_content_for_api
uses the same detection logic as _build_assistant_message. Future changes
to either provider's signals now only touch one function.
Adds tests/run_agent/test_deepseek_reasoning_content_echo.py covering:
- All 3 DeepSeek detection signals (provider, model, host)
- Poisoned history replay (empty string fallback)
- Plain assistant turns NOT padded
- Explicit reasoning_content preserved
- Reasoning field promoted to reasoning_content
- Existing Kimi/Moonshot detection intact
- Non-thinking providers left alone
21 tests, all pass.
``run_conversation`` was calling ``memory_manager.sync_all(
original_user_message, final_response)`` at the end of every turn
where both args were present. That gate didn't consider the
``interrupted`` local flag, so an external memory backend received
partial assistant output, aborted tool chains, or mid-stream resets as
durable conversational truth. Downstream recall then treated the
not-yet-real state as if the user had seen it complete, poisoning the
trust boundary between "what the user took away from the turn" and
"what Hermes was in the middle of producing when the interrupt hit".
Extracted the inline sync block into a new private method
``AIAgent._sync_external_memory_for_turn(original_user_message,
final_response, interrupted)`` so the interrupt guard is a single
visible check at the top of the method instead of hidden in a
boolean-and at the call site. That also gives tests a clean seam to
assert on — the pre-fix layout buried the logic inside the 3,000-line
``run_conversation`` function where no focused test could reach it.
The new method encodes three independent skip conditions:
1. ``interrupted`` → skip entirely (the #15218 fix). Applies even
when ``final_response`` and ``original_user_message`` happen to
be populated — an interrupt may have landed between a streamed
reply and the next tool call, so the strings on disk are not
actually the turn the user took away.
2. No memory manager / no final_response / no user message →
preserve existing skip behaviour (nothing new for providerless
sessions, system-initiated refreshes, tool-only turns that never
resolved, etc.).
3. Sync_all / queue_prefetch_all exceptions → swallow. External
memory providers are strictly best-effort; a misconfigured or
offline backend must never block the user from seeing their
response.
The prefetch side-effect is gated on the same interrupt flag: the
user's next message is almost certainly a retry of the same intent,
and a prefetch keyed on the interrupted turn would fire against stale
context.
### Tests (16 new, all passing on py3.11 venv)
``tests/run_agent/test_memory_sync_interrupted.py`` exercises the
helper directly on a bare ``AIAgent`` (``__new__`` pattern that the
interrupt-propagation tests already use). Coverage:
- Interrupted turn with full-looking response → no sync (the fix)
- Interrupted turn with long assistant output → no sync (the interrupt
could have landed mid-stream; strings-on-disk lie)
- Normal completed turn → sync_all + queue_prefetch_all both called
with the right args (regression guard for the positive path)
- No final_response / no user_message / no memory manager → existing
pre-fix skip paths still apply
- sync_all raises → exception swallowed, prefetch still attempted
- queue_prefetch_all raises → exception swallowed after sync succeeded
- 8-case parametrised matrix across (interrupted × final_response ×
original_user_message) asserts sync fires iff interrupted=False AND
both strings are non-empty

Extends PR #15171 to also cover the server-side cancellation path (aiohttp
shutdown, request-level timeout) — previously only ConnectionResetError
triggered the incomplete-snapshot write, so cancellations left the store
stuck at the in_progress snapshot written on response.created.
Factors the incomplete-snapshot build into a _persist_incomplete_if_needed()
helper called from both the ConnectionResetError and CancelledError
branches; the CancelledError handler re-raises so cooperative cancellation
semantics are preserved.
Adds two regression tests that drive _write_sse_responses directly (the
TestClient disconnect path races the server handler, which makes the
end-to-end assertion flaky).
When display.busy_input_mode is 'queue', the runner-level PRIORITY block
in _handle_message was still calling running_agent.interrupt() for every
text follow-up to an active session. The adapter-level busy handler
already honors queue mode (commit 9d147f7fd), but this runner-level path
was an unconditional interrupt regardless of config.
Adds a queue-mode branch that queues the follow-up via
_queue_or_replace_pending_event() and returns without interrupting.
Salvages the useful part of #12070 (@knockyai). The config fan-out to
per-platform extra was redundant — runner already loads busy_input_mode
directly via _load_busy_input_mode().
skill_view response went to the model verbatim; duplicating the SKILL.md
body as raw_content on every tool call added token cost with no agent-facing
benefit. Remove the field and update tests to assert on content only.
The slash/preload caller (agent/skill_commands.py) already falls back to
content when raw_content is absent, and it calls skill_view(preprocess=False)
anyway, so content is already unrendered on that path.
Extends _repair_tool_call_arguments() to cover the most common local-model
JSON corruption pattern: llama.cpp/Ollama backends emit literal tabs and
newlines inside JSON string values (memory save summaries, file contents,
etc.). Previously fell through to '{}' replacement, losing the call.
Adds two repair passes:
- Pass 0: json.loads(strict=False) + re-serialise to canonical wire form
- Pass 4: escape 0x00-0x1F control chars inside string values, then retry
Ports the core utility from #12068 / PR #12093 without the larger plumbing
change (that PR also replaced json.loads at 8 call sites; current main's
_repair_tool_call_arguments is already the single chokepoint, so the
upgrade happens transparently for every existing caller).
Credit: @truenorth-lj for the original utility design.
4 new regression tests covering literal newlines, tabs, re-serialisation
to strict=True-valid output, and the trailing-comma + control-char
combination case.
When the streaming path (chat completions) assembled tool call deltas and
detected malformed JSON arguments, it set has_truncated_tool_args=True but
passed the broken args through unchanged. This triggered the truncation
handler which returned a partial result and killed the session (/new required).
_many_ malformations are repairable: trailing commas, unclosed brackets,
Python None, empty strings. _repair_tool_call_arguments() already existed
for the pre-API-request path but wasn't called during streaming assembly.
Now when JSON parsing fails during streaming assembly, we attempt repair
via _repair_tool_call_arguments() before flagging as truncated. If repair
succeeds (returns valid JSON), the tool call proceeds normally. Only truly
unrepairable args fall through to the truncation handler.
This prevents the most common session-killing failure mode for models like
GLM-5.1 that produce trailing commas or unclosed brackets.
Tests: 12 new streaming assembly repair tests, all 29 existing repair
tests still passing.
When a session is split by context compression mid-tool-call, an assistant
message may end up with truncated/invalid JSON in tool_calls[*].function.arguments.
On the next turn this is replayed verbatim and providers reject the entire request
with HTTP 400 invalid_tool_call_format, bricking the conversation in a loop that
cannot recover without manual session quarantine.
This patch adds a defensive sanitizer that runs immediately before
client.chat.completions.create() in AIAgent.run_conversation():
- Validates each assistant tool_calls[*].function.arguments via json.loads
- Replaces invalid/empty arguments with '{}'
- Injects a synthetic tool response (or prepends a marker to the existing one)
so downstream messages keep valid tool_call_id pairing
- Logs each repair with session_id / message_index / preview for observability
Defense in depth: corruption can originate from compression splits, manual edits,
or plugin bugs. Sanitizing at the send chokepoint catches all sources.
Adds 7 unit tests covering: truncated JSON, empty string, None, non-string args,
existing matching tool response (no duplicate injection), non-assistant messages
ignored, multiple repairs.
Fixes#15236
gpt-5.x on the Codex Responses API sometimes degenerates and emits
Harmony-style `to=functions.<name> {json}` serialization as plain
assistant-message text instead of a structured `function_call` item.
The intent never makes it into `response.output` as a function_call,
so `tool_calls` is empty and `_normalize_codex_response()` returns
the leaked text as the final content. Downstream (e.g. delegate_task),
this surfaces as a confident-looking summary with `tool_trace: []`
because no tools actually ran — the Taiwan-embassy-email bug report.
Detect the pattern, scrub the content, and return finish_reason=
'incomplete' so the existing Codex-incomplete continuation path
(run_agent.py:11331, 3 retries) gets a chance to re-elicit a proper
function_call item. Encrypted reasoning items are preserved so the
model keeps its chain-of-thought on the retry.
Regression tests: leaked text triggers incomplete, real tool calls
alongside leak-looking text are preserved, clean responses pass
through unchanged.
Reported on Discord (gpt-5.4 / openai-codex).
Covers the two bugs salvaged from PR #15161:
- test_batch_runner_checkpoint: TestFinalCheckpointNoDuplicates asserts
the final aggregated completed_prompts list has no duplicate indices,
and keeps a sanity anchor test documenting the pre-fix pattern so a
future refactor that re-introduces it is caught immediately.
- test_model_tools: TestCoerceNumberInfNan asserts _coerce_number
returns the original string for inf/-inf/nan/Infinity inputs and that
the result round-trips through strict (allow_nan=False) json.dumps.
TUI auto-resolves `display.personality` at session init, unlike the base CLI.
If config contains `agent.personalities: null`, `_resolve_personality_prompt`
called `.get()` on None and failed before model/provider selection.
Normalize null personalities to `{}` and surface a targeted config warning.
Tolerating null top-level keys silently drops user settings (e.g.
`agent.system_prompt` next to a bare `agent:` line is gone). Probe at
session create, log via `logger.warning`, and surface in the boot info
under `config_warning` — rendered in the TUI feed alongside the existing
`credential_warning` banner.
YAML parses bare keys like `agent:` or `display:` as None. `dict.get(key, {})`
returns that None instead of the default (defaults only fire on missing keys),
so every `cfg.get("agent", {}).get(...)` chain in tui_gateway/server.py
crashed agent init with `'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'`.
Guard all 21 sites with `(cfg.get(X) or {})`. Regression test covers the
null-section init path reported on Twitter against the new TUI.
Follow-up to the canonical-identity session-key fix: pull the
JID/LID normalize/expand/canonical helpers into gateway/whatsapp_identity.py
instead of living in two places. gateway/session.py (session-key build) and
gateway/run.py (authorisation allowlist) now both import from the shared
module, so the two resolution paths can't drift apart.
Also switches the auth path from module-level _hermes_home (cached at
import time) to dynamic get_hermes_home() lookup, which matches the
session-key path and correctly reflects HERMES_HOME env overrides. The
lone test that monkeypatched gateway.run._hermes_home for the WhatsApp
auth path is updated to set HERMES_HOME env var instead; all other
tests that monkeypatch _hermes_home for unrelated paths (update,
restart drain, shutdown marker, etc.) still work — the module-level
_hermes_home is untouched.
Hermes' WhatsApp bridge routinely surfaces the same person under either
a phone-format JID (60123456789@s.whatsapp.net) or a LID (…@lid),
and may flip between the two for a single human within the same
conversation. Before this change, build_session_key used the raw
identifier verbatim, so the bridge reshuffling an alias form produced
two distinct session keys for the same person — in two places:
1. DM chat_id — a user's DM sessions split in half, transcripts and
per-sender state diverge.
2. Group participant_id (with group_sessions_per_user enabled) — a
member's per-user session inside a group splits in half for the
same reason.
Add a canonicalizer that walks the bridge's lid-mapping-*.json files
and picks the shortest/numeric-preferred alias as the stable identity.
build_session_key now routes both the DM chat_id and the group
participant_id through this helper when the platform is WhatsApp.
All other platforms and chat types are untouched.
Expose canonical_whatsapp_identifier and normalize_whatsapp_identifier
as public helpers. Plugins that need per-sender behaviour (role-based
routing, per-contact authorization, policy gating) need the same
identity resolution Hermes uses internally; without a public helper,
each plugin would have to re-implement the walker against the bridge's
internal on-disk format. Keeping this alongside build_session_key
makes it authoritative and one refactor away if the bridge ever
changes shape.
_expand_whatsapp_aliases stays private — it's an implementation detail
of how the mapping files are walked, not a contract callers should
depend on.
Exposes hermes --tui over a PTY-backed WebSocket so the dashboard can
embed the real TUI rather than reimplement its surface. The browser
attaches xterm.js to the socket; keystrokes flow in, PTY output bytes
flow out.
Architecture:
browser <Terminal> (xterm.js)
│ onData ───► ws.send(keystrokes)
│ onResize ► ws.send('\x1b[RESIZE:cols;rows]')
│ write ◄── ws.onmessage (PTY bytes)
▼
FastAPI /api/pty (token-gated, loopback-only)
▼
PtyBridge (ptyprocess) ── spawns node ui-tui/dist/entry.js ──► tui_gateway + AIAgent
Components
----------
hermes_cli/pty_bridge.py
Thin wrapper around ptyprocess.PtyProcess: byte-safe read/write on the
master fd via os.read/os.write (not PtyProcessUnicode — ANSI is
inherently byte-oriented and UTF-8 boundaries may land mid-read),
non-blocking select-based reads, TIOCSWINSZ resize, idempotent
SIGHUP→SIGTERM→SIGKILL teardown, platform guard (POSIX-only; Windows
is WSL-supported only).
hermes_cli/web_server.py
@app.websocket("/api/pty") endpoint gated by the existing
_SESSION_TOKEN (via ?token= query param since browsers can't set
Authorization on WS upgrades). Loopback-only enforcement. Reader task
uses run_in_executor to pump PTY bytes without blocking the event
loop. Writer loop intercepts a custom \x1b[RESIZE:cols;rows] escape
before forwarding to the PTY. The endpoint resolves the TUI argv
through a _resolve_chat_argv hook so tests can inject fake commands
without building the real TUI.
Tests
-----
tests/hermes_cli/test_pty_bridge.py — 12 unit tests: spawn, stdout,
stdin round-trip, EOF, resize (via TIOCSWINSZ + tput readback), close
idempotency, cwd, env forwarding, unavailable-platform error.
tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py — TestPtyWebSocket adds 7 tests:
missing/bad token rejection (close code 4401), stdout streaming,
stdin round-trip, resize escape forwarding, unavailable-platform ANSI
error frame + 1011 close, resume parameter forwarding to argv.
96 tests pass under scripts/run_tests.sh.

feat(web): add Chat tab with xterm.js terminal + Sessions resume button
(cherry picked from commit 3d21aee8 by emozilla, conflicts resolved
against current main: BUILTIN_ROUTES table + plugin slot layout)
fix(tui): replace OSC 52 jargon in /copy confirmation
When the user ran /copy successfully, Ink confirmed with:
sent OSC52 copy sequence (terminal support required)
That reads like a protocol spec to everyone who isn't a terminal
implementer. The caveat was a historical artifact — OSC 52 wasn't
universally supported when this message was written, so the TUI
honestly couldn't guarantee the copy had landed anywhere.
Today every modern terminal (including the dashboard's embedded
xterm.js) handles OSC 52 reliably. Say what the user actually wants
to know — that it copied, and how much — matching the message the
TUI already uses for selection copy:
copied 1482 chars
(cherry picked from commit a0701b1d5a598dd1d3b94038a7bcbb2a3ab559fc)
docs: document the dashboard Chat tab
AGENTS.md — new subsection under TUI Architecture explaining that the
dashboard embeds the real hermes --tui rather than rewriting it,
with pointers to the pty_bridge + WebSocket endpoint and the rule
'never add a parallel chat surface in React.'
website/docs/user-guide/features/web-dashboard.md — user-facing Chat
section inside the existing Web Dashboard page, covering how it works
(WebSocket + PTY + xterm.js), the Sessions-page resume flow, and
prerequisites (Node.js, ptyprocess, POSIX kernel / WSL on Windows).
(cherry picked from commit 2c2e32cc4519973c77b63016316b065c0f656704)
feat(tui-gateway): transport-aware dispatch + WebSocket sidecar
Decouples the JSON-RPC dispatcher from its I/O sink so the same handler
surface can drive multiple transports concurrently. The PTY chat tab
already speaks to the TUI binary as bytes — this adds a structured
event channel alongside it for dashboard-side React widgets that need
typed events (tool.start/complete, model picker state, slash catalog)
that PTY can't surface.
- `tui_gateway/transport.py` — `Transport` protocol + `contextvars` binding
+ module-level `StdioTransport` fallback. The stdio stream resolves
through a lambda so existing tests that monkey-patch `_real_stdout`
keep passing without modification.
- `tui_gateway/ws.py` — WebSocket transport implementation; FastAPI
endpoint mounting lives in hermes_cli/web_server.py.
- `tui_gateway/server.py`:
- `write_json` routes via session transport (for async events) →
contextvar transport (for in-request writes) → stdio fallback.
- `dispatch(req, transport=None)` binds the transport for the request
lifetime and propagates it to pool workers via `contextvars.copy_context`
so async handlers don't lose their sink.
- `_init_session` and the manual-session create path stash the
request's transport so out-of-band events (subagent.complete, etc.)
fan out to the right peer.
`tui_gateway.entry` (Ink's stdio handshake) is unchanged externally —
it falls through every precedence step into the stdio fallback, byte-
identical to the previous behaviour.
feat(web): ChatSidebar — JSON-RPC sidecar next to xterm.js terminal
Composes the two transports into a single Chat tab:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┬──────────────┐
│ xterm.js / PTY (emozilla #13379) │ ChatSidebar │
│ the literal hermes --tui process │ /api/ws │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┴──────────────┘
terminal bytes structured events
The terminal pane stays the canonical chat surface — full TUI fidelity,
slash commands, model picker, mouse, skin engine, wide chars all paint
inside the terminal. The sidebar opens a parallel JSON-RPC WebSocket
to the same gateway and renders metadata that PTY can't surface to
React chrome:
• model + provider badge with connection state (click → switch)
• running tool-call list (driven by tool.start / tool.progress /
tool.complete events)
• model picker dialog (gateway-driven, reuses ModelPickerDialog)
The sidecar is best-effort. If the WS can't connect (older gateway,
network hiccup, missing token) the terminal pane keeps working
unimpaired — sidebar just shows the connection-state badge in the
appropriate tone.
- `web/src/components/ChatSidebar.tsx` — new component (~270 lines).
Owns its GatewayClient, drives the model picker through
`slash.exec`, fans tool events into a capped tool list.
- `web/src/pages/ChatPage.tsx` — split layout: terminal pane
(`flex-1`) + sidebar (`w-80`, `lg+` only).
- `hermes_cli/web_server.py` — mount `/api/ws` (token + loopback
guards mirror /api/pty), delegate to `tui_gateway.ws.handle_ws`.

refactor(web): /clean pass on ChatSidebar + ChatPage lint debt
- ChatSidebar: lift gw out of useRef into a useMemo derived from a
reconnect counter. React 19's react-hooks/refs and react-hooks/
set-state-in-effect rules both fire when you touch a ref during
render or call setState from inside a useEffect body. The
counter-derived gw is the canonical pattern for "external resource
that needs to be replaceable on user action" — re-creating the
client comes from bumping `version`, the effect just wires + tears
down. Drops the imperative `gwRef.current = …` reassign in
reconnect, drops the truthy ref guard in JSX. modelLabel +
banner inlined as derived locals (one-off useMemo was overkill).
- ChatPage: lazy-init the banner state from the missing-token check
so the effect body doesn't have to setState on first run. Drops
the unused react-hooks/exhaustive-deps eslint-disable. Adds a
scoped no-control-regex disable on the SGR mouse parser regex
(the \\x1b is intentional for xterm escape sequences).
All my-touched files now lint clean. Remaining warnings on web/
belong to pre-existing files this PR doesn't touch.
Verified: vitest 249/249, ui-tui eslint clean, web tsc clean,
python imports clean.
chore: uptick
fix(web): drop ChatSidebar tool list — events can't cross PTY/WS boundary
The /api/pty endpoint spawns `hermes --tui` as a child process with its
own tui_gateway and _sessions dict; /api/ws runs handle_ws in-process in
the dashboard server with a separate _sessions dict. Tool events fire on
the child's gateway and never reach the WS sidecar, so the sidebar's
tool.start/progress/complete listeners always observed an empty list.
Drop the misleading list (and the now-orphaned ToolCall primitive),
keep model badge + connection state + model picker + error banner —
those work because they're sidecar-local concerns. Surfacing tool calls
in the sidebar requires cross-process forwarding (PTY child opens a
back-WS to the dashboard, gateway tees emits onto stdio + sidecar
transport) — proper feature for a follow-up.
feat(web): wire ChatSidebar tool list to PTY child via /api/pub broadcast
The dashboard's /api/pty spawns hermes --tui as a child process; tool
events fire in the python tui_gateway grandchild and never crossed the
process boundary into the in-process WS sidecar — so the sidebar tool
list was always empty.
Cross-process forwarding:
- tui_gateway: TeeTransport (transport.py) + WsPublisherTransport
(event_publisher.py, sync websockets client). entry.py installs the
tee on _stdio_transport when HERMES_TUI_SIDECAR_URL is set, mirroring
every dispatcher emit to a back-WS without disturbing Ink's stdio
handshake.
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: new /api/pub (publisher) + /api/events
(subscriber) endpoints with a per-channel registry. /api/pty now
accepts ?channel= and propagates the sidecar URL via env. start_server
also stashes app.state.bound_port so the URL is constructable.
- web/src/pages/ChatPage.tsx: generates a channel UUID per mount,
passes it to /api/pty and as a prop to ChatSidebar.
- web/src/components/ChatSidebar.tsx: opens /api/events?channel=, fans
tool.start/progress/complete back into the ToolCall list. Restores
the ToolCall primitive.
Tests: 4 new TestPtyWebSocket cases cover channel propagation,
broadcast fan-out, and missing-channel rejection (10 PTY tests pass,
120 web_server tests overall).
fix(web): address Copilot review on #14890
Five threads, all real:
- gatewayClient.ts: register `message`/`close` listeners BEFORE awaiting
the open handshake. Server emits `gateway.ready` immediately after
accept, so a listener attached after the open promise could race past
the initial skin payload and lose it.
- ChatSidebar.tsx: wire `error`/`close` on the /api/events subscriber
WS into the existing error banner. 4401/4403 (auth/loopback reject)
surface as a "reload the page" message; mid-stream drops surface as
"events feed disconnected" with the existing reconnect button. Clean
unmount closes (1000/1001) stay silent.
- web-dashboard.md: install hint was `pip install hermes-agent[web]` but
ptyprocess lives in the `pty` extra, not `web`. Switch to
`hermes-agent[web,pty]` in both prerequisite blocks.
- AGENTS.md: previous "never add a parallel React chat surface" guidance
was overbroad and contradicted this PR's sidebar. Tightened to forbid
re-implementing the transcript/composer/PTY terminal while explicitly
allowing structured supporting widgets (sidebar / model picker /
inspectors), matching the actual architecture.
- web/package-lock.json: regenerated cleanly so the wterm sibling
workspace paths (extraneous machine-local entries) stop polluting CI.
Tests: 249/249 vitest, 10/10 PTY/events, web tsc clean.
refactor(web): /clean pass on ChatSidebar events handler
Spotted in the round-2 review:
- Banner flashed on clean unmount: `ws.close()` from the effect cleanup
fires `close` with code 1005, opened=true, neither 1000 nor 1001 —
hit the "unexpected drop" branch. Track `unmounting` in the effect
scope and gate the banner through a `surface()` helper so cleanup
closes stay silent.
- DRY the duplicated "events feed disconnected" string into a local
const used by both the error and close handlers.
- Drop the `opened` flag (no longer needed once the unmount guard is
the source of truth for "is this an expected close?").
## Problem
When a pooled HTTPS connection to the Bedrock runtime goes stale (NAT
timeout, VPN flap, server-side TCP RST, proxy idle cull), the next
Converse call surfaces as one of:
* botocore.exceptions.ConnectionClosedError / ReadTimeoutError /
EndpointConnectionError / ConnectTimeoutError
* urllib3.exceptions.ProtocolError
* A bare AssertionError raised from inside urllib3 or botocore
(internal connection-pool invariant check)
The agent loop retries the request 3x, but the cached boto3 client in
_bedrock_runtime_client_cache is reused across retries — so every
attempt hits the same dead connection pool and fails identically.
Only a process restart clears the cache and lets the user keep working.
The bare-AssertionError variant is particularly user-hostile because
str(AssertionError()) is an empty string, so the retry banner shows:
⚠️ API call failed: AssertionError
📝 Error:
with no hint of what went wrong.
## Fix
Add two helpers to agent/bedrock_adapter.py:
* is_stale_connection_error(exc) — classifies exceptions that
indicate dead-client/dead-socket state. Matches botocore
ConnectionError + HTTPClientError subtrees, urllib3
ProtocolError / NewConnectionError, and AssertionError
raised from a frame whose module name starts with urllib3.,
botocore., or boto3.. Application-level AssertionErrors are
intentionally excluded.
* invalidate_runtime_client(region) — per-region counterpart to
the existing reset_client_cache(). Evicts a single cached
client so the next call rebuilds it (and its connection pool).
Wire both into the Converse call sites:
* call_converse() / call_converse_stream() in
bedrock_adapter.py (defense-in-depth for any future caller)
* The two direct client.converse(**kwargs) /
client.converse_stream(**kwargs) call sites in run_agent.py
(the paths the agent loop actually uses)
On a stale-connection exception, the client is evicted and the
exception re-raised unchanged. The agent's existing retry loop then
builds a fresh client on the next attempt and recovers without
requiring a process restart.
## Tests
tests/agent/test_bedrock_adapter.py gets three new classes (14 tests):
* TestInvalidateRuntimeClient — per-region eviction correctness;
non-cached region returns False.
* TestIsStaleConnectionError — classifies botocore
ConnectionClosedError / EndpointConnectionError /
ReadTimeoutError, urllib3 ProtocolError, library-internal
AssertionError (both urllib3.* and botocore.* frames), and
correctly ignores application-level AssertionError and
unrelated exceptions (ValueError, KeyError).
* TestCallConverseInvalidatesOnStaleError — end-to-end: stale
error evicts the cached client, non-stale error (validation)
leaves it alone, successful call leaves it cached.
All 116 tests in test_bedrock_adapter.py pass.

Bedrock's aws_sdk auth_type had no matching branch in
resolve_provider_client(), causing it to fall through to the
"unhandled auth_type" warning and return (None, None). This broke
all auxiliary tasks (compression, memory, summarization) for Bedrock
users — the main conversation loop worked fine, but background
context management silently failed.
Add an aws_sdk branch that creates an AnthropicAuxiliaryClient via
build_anthropic_bedrock_client(), using boto3's default credential
chain (IAM roles, SSO, env vars, instance metadata). Default
auxiliary model is Haiku for cost efficiency.
Closes#13919
## Problem
`get_model_context_length()` in `agent/model_metadata.py` had a resolution
order bug that caused every Bedrock model to fall back to the 128K default
context length instead of reaching the static Bedrock table (200K for
Claude, etc.).
The root cause: `bedrock-runtime.<region>.amazonaws.com` is not listed in
`_URL_TO_PROVIDER`, so `_is_known_provider_base_url()` returned False.
The resolution order then ran the custom-endpoint probe (step 2) *before*
the Bedrock branch (step 4b), which:
1. Treated Bedrock as a custom endpoint (via `_is_custom_endpoint`).
2. Called `fetch_endpoint_model_metadata()` → `GET /models` on the
bedrock-runtime URL (Bedrock doesn't serve this shape).
3. Fell through to `return DEFAULT_FALLBACK_CONTEXT` (128K) at the
"probe-down" branch — never reaching the Bedrock static table.
Result: users on Bedrock saw 128K context for Claude models that
actually support 200K on Bedrock, causing premature auto-compression.
## Fix
Promote the Bedrock branch from step 4b to step 1b, so it runs *before*
the custom-endpoint probe at step 2. The static table in
`bedrock_adapter.py::get_bedrock_context_length()` is the authoritative
source for Bedrock (the ListFoundationModels API doesn't expose context
window sizes), so there's no reason to probe `/models` first.
The original step 4b is replaced with a one-line breadcrumb comment
pointing to the new location, to make the resolution-order docstring
accurate.
## Changes
- `agent/model_metadata.py`
- Add step 1b: Bedrock static-table branch (unchanged predicate, moved).
- Remove dead step 4b block, replace with breadcrumb comment.
- Update resolution-order docstring to include step 1b.
- `tests/agent/test_model_metadata.py`
- New `TestBedrockContextResolution` class (3 tests):
- `test_bedrock_provider_returns_static_table_before_probe`:
confirms `provider="bedrock"` hits the static table and does NOT
call `fetch_endpoint_model_metadata` (regression guard).
- `test_bedrock_url_without_provider_hint`: confirms the
`bedrock-runtime.*.amazonaws.com` host match works without an
explicit `provider=` hint.
- `test_non_bedrock_url_still_probes`: confirms the probe still
fires for genuinely-custom endpoints (no over-reach).
## Testing
pytest tests/agent/test_model_metadata.py -q
# 83 passed in 1.95s (3 new + 80 existing)
## Risk
Very low.
- Predicate is identical to the original step 4b — no behaviour change
for non-Bedrock paths.
- Original step 4b was dead code for the user-facing case (always hit
the 128K fallback first), so removing it cannot regress behaviour.
- Bedrock path now short-circuits before any network I/O — faster too.
- `ImportError` fall-through preserved so users without `boto3`
installed are unaffected.
## Related
- This is a prerequisite for accurate context-window accounting on
Bedrock — the fix for #14710 (stale-connection client eviction)
depends on correct context sizing to know when to compress.

Bedrock model IDs use dots as namespace separators (anthropic.claude-opus-4-7,
us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5-v1:0), not version separators.
normalize_model_name() was unconditionally converting all dots to hyphens,
producing invalid IDs that Bedrock rejects with HTTP 400/404.
This affected both the main agent loop (partially mitigated by
_anthropic_preserve_dots in run_agent.py) and all auxiliary client calls
(compression, session_search, vision, etc.) which go through
_AnthropicCompletionsAdapter and never pass preserve_dots=True.
Fix: add _is_bedrock_model_id() to detect Bedrock namespace prefixes
(anthropic., us., eu., ap., jp., global.) and skip dot-to-hyphen
conversion for these IDs regardless of the preserve_dots flag.
A child running a legitimately long-running tool (terminal command,
browser fetch, big file read) holds current_tool set and keeps
api_call_count frozen while the tool runs. The previous stale check
treated that as idle after 5 heartbeat cycles (~150s), stopped
touching the parent, and let the gateway kill the session.
Split the threshold in two:
- _HEARTBEAT_STALE_CYCLES_IDLE=5 (~150s) — applied only when
current_tool is None (child wedged between turns)
- _HEARTBEAT_STALE_CYCLES_IN_TOOL=20 (~600s) — applied when the child
is inside a tool call
Stale counter also resets when current_tool changes (new tool =
progress). The hard child_timeout_seconds (default 600s) is still
the final cap, so genuinely stuck tools don't get to block forever.
Bug 3 — Stale OAuth token not detected in 'hermes model':
- _model_flow_anthropic used 'has_creds = bool(existing_key)' which treats
any non-empty token (including expired OAuth tokens) as valid.
- Added existing_is_stale_oauth check: if the only credential is an OAuth
token (sk-ant- prefix) with no valid cc_creds fallback, mark it stale
and force the re-auth menu instead of silently accepting a broken token.
Bug 4 — macOS Keychain credentials never read:
- Claude Code >=2.1.114 migrated from ~/.claude/.credentials.json to the
macOS Keychain under service 'Claude Code-credentials'.
- Added _read_claude_code_credentials_from_keychain() using the 'security'
CLI tool; read_claude_code_credentials() now tries Keychain first then
falls back to JSON file.
- Non-Darwin platforms return None from Keychain read immediately.
Tests:
- tests/agent/test_anthropic_keychain.py: 11 cases covering Darwin-only
guard, security command failures, JSON parsing, fallback priority.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_anthropic_model_flow_stale_oauth.py: 8 cases
covering stale OAuth detection, API key passthrough, cc_creds fallback.

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.
Three quality improvements on top of #15121 / #15130 / #15135:
1. Tool consolidation (9 → 7)
- spotify_saved_tracks + spotify_saved_albums → spotify_library with
kind='tracks'|'albums'. Handler code was ~90 percent identical
across the two old tools; the merge is a behavioral no-op.
- spotify_activity dropped. Its 'now_playing' action was a duplicate
of spotify_playback.get_currently_playing (both return identical
204/empty payloads). Its 'recently_played' action moves onto
spotify_playback as a new action — history belongs adjacent to
live state.
- Net: each API call ships 2 fewer tool schemas when the Spotify
toolset is enabled, and the action surface is more discoverable
(everything playback-related is on one tool).
2. Spotify skill (skills/media/spotify/SKILL.md)
Teaches the agent canonical usage patterns so common requests don't
balloon into 4+ tool calls:
- 'play X' = one search, then play by URI (not search + scan +
describe + play)
- 'what's playing' = single get_currently_playing (no preflight
get_state chain)
- Don't retry on '403 Premium required' or '403 No active device' —
both require user action
- URI/URL/bare-ID format normalization
- Full failure-mode reference for 204/401/403/429
3. Surfaced in 'hermes setup' tool status
Adds 'Spotify (PKCE OAuth)' to the tool status list when
auth.json has a Spotify access/refresh token. Matches the
homeassistant pattern but reads from auth.json (OAuth-based) rather
than env vars.
Docs updated to reflect the new 7-tool surface, and mention the
companion skill in the 'Using it' section.
Tests: 54 passing (client 22, auth 15, tools_config 35 — 18 = 54 after
renaming/replacing the spotify_activity tests with library +
recently_played coverage). Docusaurus build clean.
- probe_api_models: add api_mode param; use x-api-key + anthropic-version
headers for anthropic_messages mode (Anthropic's native Models API auth)
- probe_api_models: add User-Agent header to avoid Cloudflare 403 blocks
on third-party OpenAI-compatible endpoints
- validate_requested_model: pass api_mode through from switch_model
- validate_requested_model: for anthropic_messages mode, attempt probe with
correct auth; if probe fails (many proxies don't implement /v1/models),
accept the model with an informational warning instead of rejecting
- fetch_api_models: propagate api_mode to probe_api_models
Regression test for #14981. Verifies that _session_expiry_watcher fires
on_session_finalize for each session swept out of the store, matching
the contract documented for /new, /reset, CLI shutdown, and gateway stop.
Verified the test fails cleanly on pre-fix code (hook call list missing
sess-expired) and passes with the fix applied.
When the primary provider raises AuthError (expired OAuth token,
revoked API key), the error was re-raised before AIAgent was created,
so fallback_model was never consulted. Now both gateway/run.py and
cron/scheduler.py catch AuthError specifically and attempt to resolve
credentials from the fallback_providers/fallback_model config chain
before propagating the error.
Closes#7230
Two small fixes triggered by a support report where the user saw a
cryptic 'HTTP 400 - Error 400 (Bad Request)!!1' (Google's GFE HTML
error page, not a real API error) on every gemini-2.5-pro request.
The underlying cause was an empty GOOGLE_API_KEY / GEMINI_API_KEY, but
nothing in our output made that diagnosable:
1. hermes_cli/dump.py: the api_keys section enumerated 23 providers but
omitted Google entirely, so users had no way to verify from 'hermes
dump' whether the key was set. Added GOOGLE_API_KEY and GEMINI_API_KEY
rows.
2. agent/gemini_native_adapter.py: GeminiNativeClient.__init__ accepted
an empty/whitespace api_key and stamped it into the x-goog-api-key
header, which made Google's frontend return a generic HTML 400 long
before the request reached the Generative Language backend. Now we
raise RuntimeError at construction with an actionable message
pointing at GOOGLE_API_KEY/GEMINI_API_KEY and aistudio.google.com.
Added a regression test that covers '', ' ', and None.
Claude-style and some Anthropic-tuned models occasionally emit tool
names as class-like identifiers: TodoTool_tool, Patch_tool,
BrowserClick_tool, PatchTool. These failed strict-dict lookup in
valid_tool_names and triggered the 'Unknown tool' self-correction
loop, wasting a full turn of iteration and tokens.
_repair_tool_call already handled lowercase / separator / fuzzy
matches but couldn't bridge the CamelCase-to-snake_case gap or the
trailing '_tool' suffix that Claude sometimes tacks on. Extend it
with two bounded normalization passes:
1. CamelCase -> snake_case (via regex lookbehind).
2. Strip trailing _tool / -tool / tool suffix (case-insensitive,
applied twice so TodoTool_tool reduces all the way: strip
_tool -> TodoTool, snake -> todo_tool, strip 'tool' -> todo).
Cheap fast-paths (lowercase / separator-normalized) still run first
so the common case stays zero-cost. Fuzzy match remains the last
resort unchanged.
Tests: tests/run_agent/test_repair_tool_call_name.py covers the
three original reports (TodoTool_tool, Patch_tool, BrowserClick_tool),
plus PatchTool, WriteFileTool, ReadFile_tool, write-file_Tool,
patch-tool, and edge cases (empty, None, '_tool' alone, genuinely
unknown names).
18 new tests + 17 existing arg-repair tests = 35/35 pass.
Closes#14784
Previously 'hermes auth spotify' crashed with 'HERMES_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID
is required' if the user hadn't manually created a Spotify developer
app and set env vars. Now the command detects a missing client_id and
walks the user through the one-time app registration inline:
- Opens https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard in the browser
- Tells the user exactly what to paste into the Spotify form
(including the correct default redirect URI, 127.0.0.1:43827)
- Prompts for the Client ID
- Persists HERMES_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID to ~/.hermes/.env so subsequent
runs skip the wizard
- Continues straight into the PKCE OAuth flow
Also prints the docs URL at both the start of the wizard and the end
of a successful login so users can find the full guide.
Adds website/docs/user-guide/features/spotify.md with the complete
setup walkthrough, tool reference, and troubleshooting, and wires it
into the sidebar under User Guide > Features > Advanced.
Fixes a stale redirect URI default in the hermes_cli/tools_config.py
TOOL_CATEGORIES entry (was 8888/callback from the PR description
instead of the actual DEFAULT_SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URI value
43827/spotify/callback defined in auth.py).
Streamable HTTP MCP servers may garbage-collect their server-side
session state while the OAuth token remains valid — idle TTL, server
restart, pod rotation, etc. Before this fix, the tool-call handler
treated the resulting "Invalid or expired session" error as a plain
tool failure with no recovery path, so **every subsequent call on
the affected server failed until the gateway was manually
restarted**. Reporter: #13383.
The OAuth-based recovery path (``_handle_auth_error_and_retry``)
already exists for 401s, but it only fires on auth errors. Session
expiry slipped through because the access token is still valid —
nothing 401'd, so the existing recovery branch was skipped.
Fix
---
Add a sibling function ``_handle_session_expired_and_retry`` that
detects MCP session-expiry via ``_is_session_expired_error`` (a
narrow allow-list of known-stable substrings: ``"invalid or expired
session"``, ``"session expired"``, ``"session not found"``,
``"unknown session"``, etc.) and then uses the existing transport
reconnect mechanism:
* Sets ``MCPServerTask._reconnect_event`` — the server task's
lifecycle loop already interprets this as "tear down the current
``streamablehttp_client`` + ``ClientSession`` and rebuild them,
reusing the existing OAuth provider instance".
* Waits up to 15 s for the new session to come back ready.
* Retries the original call once. If the retry succeeds, returns
its result and resets the circuit-breaker error count. If the
retry raises, or if the reconnect doesn't ready in time, falls
through to the caller's generic error path.
Unlike the 401 path, this does **not** call ``handle_401`` — the
access token is already valid and running an OAuth refresh would be
a pointless round-trip.
All 5 MCP handlers (``call_tool``, ``list_resources``, ``read_resource``,
``list_prompts``, ``get_prompt``) now consult both recovery paths
before falling through:
recovered = _handle_auth_error_and_retry(...) # 401 path
if recovered is not None: return recovered
recovered = _handle_session_expired_and_retry(...) # new
if recovered is not None: return recovered
# generic error response
Narrow scope — explicitly not changed
-------------------------------------
* **Detection is string-based on a 5-entry allow-list.** The MCP
SDK wraps JSON-RPC errors in ``McpError`` whose exception type +
attributes vary across SDK versions, so matching on message
substrings is the durable path. Kept narrow to avoid false
positives — a regular ``RuntimeError("Tool failed")`` will NOT
trigger spurious reconnects (pinned by
``test_is_session_expired_rejects_unrelated_errors``).
* **No change to the existing 401 recovery flow.** The new path is
consulted only after the auth path declines (returns ``None``).
* **Retry count stays at 1.** If the reconnect-then-retry also
fails, we don't loop — the error surfaces normally so the model
sees a failed tool call rather than a hang.
* **``InterruptedError`` is explicitly excluded** from session-expired
detection so user-cancel signals always short-circuit the same
way they did before (pinned by
``test_is_session_expired_rejects_interrupted_error``).
Regression coverage
-------------------
``tests/tools/test_mcp_tool_session_expired.py`` (new, 16 cases):
Unit tests for ``_is_session_expired_error``:
* ``test_is_session_expired_detects_invalid_or_expired_session`` —
reporter's exact wpcom-mcp text.
* ``test_is_session_expired_detects_expired_session_variant`` —
"Session expired" / "expired session" variants.
* ``test_is_session_expired_detects_session_not_found`` — server GC
variant ("session not found", "unknown session").
* ``test_is_session_expired_is_case_insensitive``.
* ``test_is_session_expired_rejects_unrelated_errors`` — narrow-scope
canary: random RuntimeError / ValueError / 401 don't trigger.
* ``test_is_session_expired_rejects_interrupted_error`` — user cancel
must never route through reconnect.
* ``test_is_session_expired_rejects_empty_message``.
Handler integration tests:
* ``test_call_tool_handler_reconnects_on_session_expired`` — reporter's
full repro: first call raises "Invalid or expired session", handler
signals ``_reconnect_event``, retries once, returns the retry's
success result with no ``error`` key.
* ``test_call_tool_handler_non_session_expired_error_falls_through``
— preserved-behaviour canary: random tool failures do NOT trigger
reconnect.
* ``test_session_expired_handler_returns_none_without_loop`` —
defensive: cold-start / shutdown race.
* ``test_session_expired_handler_returns_none_without_server_record``
— torn-down server falls through cleanly.
* ``test_session_expired_handler_returns_none_when_retry_also_fails``
— no retry loop on repeated failure.
Parametrised across all 4 non-``tools/call`` handlers:
* ``test_non_tool_handlers_also_reconnect_on_session_expired``
[list_resources / read_resource / list_prompts / get_prompt].
**15 of 16 fail on clean ``origin/main`` (``6fb69229``)** with
``ImportError: cannot import name '_is_session_expired_error'``
— the fix's surface symbols don't exist there yet. The 1 passing
test is an ordering artefact of pytest-xdist worker collection.

`_normalize_for_deepseek` was mapping every non-reasoner input into
`deepseek-chat` on the assumption that DeepSeek's API accepts only two
model IDs. That assumption no longer holds — `deepseek-v4-pro` and
`deepseek-v4-flash` are first-class IDs accepted by the direct API,
and on aggregators `deepseek-chat` routes explicitly to V3 (DeepInfra
backend returns `deepseek-chat-v3`). So a user picking V4 Pro through
the model picker was being silently downgraded to V3.
Verified 2026-04-24 against Nous portal's OpenAI-compat surface:
- `deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash` → provider: DeepSeek,
model: deepseek-v4-flash-20260423
- `deepseek/deepseek-chat` → provider: DeepInfra,
model: deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3
Fix:
- Add `deepseek-v4-pro` and `deepseek-v4-flash` to
`_DEEPSEEK_CANONICAL_MODELS` so exact matches pass through.
- Add `_DEEPSEEK_V_SERIES_RE` (`^deepseek-v\d+(...)?$`) so future
V-series IDs (`deepseek-v5-*`, dated variants) keep passing through
without another code change.
- Update docstring + module header to reflect the new rule.
Tests:
- New `TestDeepseekVSeriesPassThrough` — 8 parametrized cases covering
bare, vendor-prefixed, case-variant, dated, and future V-series IDs
plus end-to-end `normalize_model_for_provider(..., "deepseek")`.
- New `TestDeepseekCanonicalAndReasonerMapping` — regression coverage
for canonical pass-through, reasoner-keyword folding, and
fall-back-to-chat behaviour.
- 77/77 pass.
Reported on Discord (Ufonik, Don Piedro): `/model > Deepseek >
deepseek-v4-pro` surfaced
`Normalized 'deepseek-v4-pro' to 'deepseek-chat'`. Picker listing
showed the v4 names, so validation also rejected the post-normalize
`deepseek-chat` as "not in provider listing" — the contradiction
users saw. Normalizer now respects the picker's choice.
Install tini in the container image and route ENTRYPOINT through
`/usr/bin/tini -g -- /opt/hermes/docker/entrypoint.sh`.
Without a PID-1 init, orphans reparented to hermes (MCP stdio servers,
git, bun, browser daemons) never get waited() on and accumulate as
zombies. Long-running gateway containers eventually exhaust the PID
table and hit "fork: cannot allocate memory".
tini is the standard container init (same pattern Docker's --init flag
and Kubernetes pause container use). It handles SIGCHLD, reaps orphans,
and forwards SIGTERM/SIGINT to the entrypoint so hermes's existing
graceful-shutdown handlers still run. The -g flag sends signals to the
whole process group so `docker stop` cleanly terminates hermes and its
descendants, not just direct children.
Closes#15012.
E2E-verified with a minimal reproducer image: spawning 5 orphans that
reparent to PID 1 leaves 5 zombies without tini and 0 with tini.
Concurrent Hermes processes (e.g. cron jobs) refreshing a Nous OAuth token
via resolve_nous_runtime_credentials() write the rotated tokens to auth.json.
The calling process's pool entry becomes stale, and the next refresh against
the already-rotated token triggers a 'refresh token reuse' revocation on
the Nous Portal.
_sync_nous_entry_from_auth_store() reads auth.json under the same lock used
by resolve_nous_runtime_credentials, and adopts the newer token pair before
refreshing the pool entry. This complements #15111 (which preserved the
obtained_at timestamps through seeding).
Partial salvage of #10160 by @konsisumer — only the agent/credential_pool.py
changes + the 3 Nous-specific regression tests. The PR also touched 10
unrelated files (Dockerfile, tips.py, various tool tests) which were
dropped as scope creep.
Regression tests:
- test_sync_nous_entry_from_auth_store_adopts_newer_tokens
- test_sync_nous_entry_noop_when_tokens_match
- test_nous_exhausted_entry_recovers_via_auth_store_sync
Extracts pool-rotation-room logic into `_pool_may_recover_from_rate_limit`
so single-credential pools no longer block the eager-fallback path on 429.
The existing check `pool is not None and pool.has_available()` lets
fallback fire only after the pool marks every entry as exhausted. With
exactly one credential in the pool (the common shape for Gemini OAuth,
Vertex service accounts, and any personal-key setup), `has_available()`
flips back to True as soon as the cooldown expires — Hermes retries
against the same entry, hits the same daily-quota 429, and burns the
retry budget in a tight loop before ever reaching the configured
`fallback_model`. Observed in the wild as 4+ hours of 429 noise on a
single Gemini key instead of falling through to Vertex as configured.
Rotation is only meaningful with more than one credential — gate on
`len(pool.entries()) > 1`. Multi-credential pools keep the current
wait-for-rotation behaviour unchanged.
Fixes#11314. Related to #8947, #10210, #7230. Narrower scope than
open PRs #8023 (classifier change) and #11492 (503/529 credential-pool
bypass) — this addresses the single-credential 429 case specifically
and does not conflict with either.
Tests: 6 new unit tests in tests/run_agent/test_provider_fallback.py
covering (a) None pool, (b) single-cred available, (c) single-cred in
cooldown, (d) 2-cred available rotates, (e) multi-cred all cooling-down
falls back, (f) many-cred available rotates. All 18 tests in the file
pass.
The least_used strategy selected entries via min(request_count) but
never incremented the counter. All entries stayed at count=0, so the
strategy degenerated to fill_first behavior with no actual load balancing.
Now increments request_count after each selection and persists the update.
The Copilot provider resolved context windows via models.dev static data,
which does not include account-specific models (e.g. claude-opus-4.6-1m
with 1M context). This adds the live Copilot /models API as a higher-
priority source for copilot/copilot-acp/github-copilot providers.
New helper get_copilot_model_context() in hermes_cli/models.py extracts
capabilities.limits.max_prompt_tokens from the cached catalog. Results
are cached in-process for 1 hour.
In agent/model_metadata.py, step 5a queries the live API before falling
through to models.dev (step 5b). This ensures account-specific models
get correct context windows while standard models still have a fallback.
Part 1 of #7731.
Refs: #7272
Raw GitHub tokens (gho_/github_pat_/ghu_) are now exchanged for
short-lived Copilot API tokens via /copilot_internal/v2/token before
being used as Bearer credentials. This is required to access
internal-only models (e.g. claude-opus-4.6-1m with 1M context).
Implementation:
- exchange_copilot_token(): calls the token exchange endpoint with
in-process caching (dict keyed by SHA-256 fingerprint), refreshed
2 minutes before expiry. No disk persistence — gateway is long-running
so in-memory cache is sufficient.
- get_copilot_api_token(): convenience wrapper with graceful fallback —
returns exchanged token on success, raw token on failure.
- Both callers (hermes_cli/auth.py and agent/credential_pool.py) now
pipe the raw token through get_copilot_api_token() before use.
12 new tests covering exchange, caching, expiry, error handling,
fingerprinting, and caller integration. All 185 existing copilot/auth
tests pass.
Part 2 of #7731.
When using GitHub Copilot as provider, HTTP 401 errors could cause
Hermes to silently fall back to the next model in the chain instead
of recovering. This adds a one-shot retry mechanism that:
1. Re-resolves the Copilot token via the standard priority chain
(COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN -> GH_TOKEN -> GITHUB_TOKEN -> gh auth token)
2. Rebuilds the OpenAI client with fresh credentials and Copilot headers
3. Retries the failed request before falling back
The fix handles the common case where the gho_* OAuth token remains
valid but the httpx client state becomes stale (e.g. after startup
race conditions or long-lived sessions).
Key design decisions:
- Always rebuild client even if token string unchanged (recovers stale state)
- Uses _apply_client_headers_for_base_url() for canonical header management
- One-shot flag guard prevents infinite 401 loops (matches existing pattern
used by Codex/Nous/Anthropic providers)
- No token exchange via /copilot_internal/v2/token (returns 404 for some
account types; direct gho_* auth works reliably)
Tests: 3 new test cases covering end-to-end 401->refresh->retry,
client rebuild verification, and same-token rebuild scenarios.
Docs: Updated providers.md with Copilot auth behavior section.
Pass an explicit HOME into Copilot ACP child processes so delegated ACP runs do not fail when the ambient environment is missing HOME.
Prefer the per-profile subprocess home when available, then fall back to HOME, expanduser('~'), pwd.getpwuid(...), and /home/openclaw. Add regression tests for both profile-home preference and clean HOME fallback.
Refs #11068.
Two narrow fixes motivated by #15099.
1. _seed_from_singletons() was dropping obtained_at, agent_key_obtained_at,
expires_in, and friends when seeding device_code pool entries from the
providers.nous singleton. Fresh credentials showed up with
obtained_at=None, which broke downstream freshness-sensitive consumers
(self-heal hooks, pool pruning by age) — they treated just-minted
credentials as older than they actually were and evicted them.
2. When the Nous Portal OAuth 2.1 server returns invalid_grant with
'Refresh token reuse detected' in the error_description, rewrite the
message to explain the likely cause (an external process consumed the
rotated RT without persisting it back) and the mitigation. The generic
reuse message led users to report this as a Hermes persistence bug when
the actual trigger was typically a third-party monitoring script calling
/api/oauth/token directly. Non-reuse errors keep their original server
description untouched.
Closes#15099.
Regression tests:
- tests/agent/test_credential_pool.py::test_nous_seed_from_singletons_preserves_obtained_at_timestamps
- tests/hermes_cli/test_auth_nous_provider.py::test_refresh_token_reuse_detection_surfaces_actionable_message

Cron jobs can now specify a per-job working directory. When set, the job
runs as if launched from that directory: AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md /
.cursorrules from that dir are injected into the system prompt, and the
terminal / file / code-exec tools use it as their cwd (via TERMINAL_CWD).
When unset, old behaviour is preserved (no project context files, tools
use the scheduler's cwd).
Requested by @bluthcy.
## Mechanism
- cron/jobs.py: create_job / update_job accept 'workdir'; validated to
be an absolute existing directory at create/update time.
- cron/scheduler.py run_job: if job.workdir is set, point TERMINAL_CWD
at it and flip skip_context_files to False before building the agent.
Restored in finally on every exit path.
- cron/scheduler.py tick: workdir jobs run sequentially (outside the
thread pool) because TERMINAL_CWD is process-global. Workdir-less jobs
still run in the parallel pool unchanged.
- tools/cronjob_tools.py + hermes_cli/cron.py + hermes_cli/main.py:
expose 'workdir' via the cronjob tool and 'hermes cron create/edit
--workdir ...'. Empty string on edit clears the field.
## Validation
- tests/cron/test_cron_workdir.py (21 tests): normalize, create, update,
JSON round-trip via cronjob tool, tick partition (workdir jobs run on
the main thread, not the pool), run_job env toggle + restore in finally.
- Full targeted suite (tests/cron/, test_cronjob_tools.py, test_cron.py,
test_config_cwd_bridge.py, test_worktree.py): 314/314 passed.
- Live smoke: hermes cron create --workdir $(pwd) works; relative path
rejected; list shows 'Workdir:'; edit --workdir '' clears.
agent/redact.py snapshots _REDACT_ENABLED from HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS at
module-import time. hermes_cli/main.py calls setup_logging() early, which
transitively imports agent.redact — BEFORE any config bridge has run. So
users who set 'security.redact_secrets: false' in config.yaml (instead of
HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS=false in .env) had the toggle silently ignored in
both 'hermes chat' and 'hermes gateway run'.
Bridge config.yaml -> env var in hermes_cli/main.py BEFORE setup_logging.
.env still wins (only set env when unset) — config.yaml is the fallback.
Regression tests in tests/hermes_cli/test_redact_config_bridge.py spawn
fresh subprocesses to verify:
- redact_secrets: false in config.yaml disables redaction
- default (key absent) leaves redaction enabled
- .env HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS=true overrides config.yaml
json.JSONDecodeError inherits from ValueError. The agent loop's
non-retryable classifier at run_agent.py ~L10782 treated any
ValueError/TypeError as a local programming bug and short-circuited
retry. Without a carve-out, a transient JSONDecodeError from a
provider that returned a malformed response body, a truncated stream,
or a router-layer corruption would fail the turn immediately.
Add JSONDecodeError to the existing UnicodeEncodeError exclusion
tuple so the classified-retry logic (which already handles 429/529/
context-overflow/etc.) gets to run on bad-JSON errors.
Tests (tests/run_agent/test_jsondecodeerror_retryable.py):
- JSONDecodeError: NOT local validation
- UnicodeEncodeError: NOT local validation (existing carve-out)
- bare ValueError: IS local validation (programming bug)
- bare TypeError: IS local validation (programming bug)
- source-level assertion that run_agent.py still carries the carve-out
(guards against accidental revert)
Closes#14782
/model kimi-k2.6 on opencode-zen (or glm-5.1 on opencode-go) returned OpenCode's
website 404 HTML page when the user's persisted model.default was a Claude or
MiniMax model. The switched-to chat_completions request hit
https://opencode.ai/zen (or /zen/go) with no /v1 suffix.
Root cause: resolve_runtime_provider() computed api_mode from
model_cfg.get('default') instead of the model being requested. With a Claude
default, it resolved api_mode=anthropic_messages, stripped /v1 from base_url
(required for the Anthropic SDK), then switch_model()'s opencode_model_api_mode
override flipped api_mode back to chat_completions without restoring /v1.
Fix: thread an optional target_model kwarg through resolve_runtime_provider
and _resolve_runtime_from_pool_entry. When the caller is performing an explicit
mid-session model switch (i.e. switch_model()), the target model drives both
api_mode selection and the conditional /v1 strip. Other callers (CLI init,
gateway init, cron, ACP, aux client, delegate, account_usage, tui_gateway) pass
nothing and preserve the existing config-default behavior.
Regression tests added in test_model_switch_opencode_anthropic.py use the REAL
resolver (not a mock) to guard the exact Quentin-repro scenario. Existing tests
that mocked resolve_runtime_provider with 'lambda requested:' had their mock
signatures widened to '**kwargs' to accept the new kwarg.
When a subagent in delegate_task times out before making its first LLM
request, write a structured diagnostic file under
~/.hermes/logs/subagent-timeout-<sid>-<ts>.log capturing enough state
for the user (and us) to debug the hang. The old error message —
'Subagent timed out after Ns with no response. The child may be stuck
on a slow API call or unresponsive network request.' — gave no
observability for the 0-API-call case, which is the hardest to reason
about remotely.
The diagnostic captures:
- timeout config vs actual duration
- goal (truncated to 1000 chars)
- child config: model, provider, api_mode, base_url, max_iterations,
quiet_mode, platform, _delegate_role, _delegate_depth
- enabled_toolsets + loaded tool names
- system prompt byte/char count (catches oversized prompts that
providers silently choke on)
- tool schema count + byte size
- child's get_activity_summary() snapshot
- Python stack of the worker thread at the moment of timeout
(reveals whether the hang is in credential resolution, transport,
prompt construction, etc.)
Wiring:
- _run_single_child captures the worker thread via a small wrapper
around child.run_conversation so we can look up its stack at
timeout.
- After a FuturesTimeoutError, we pull child.get_activity_summary()
to read api_call_count. If 0 AND it was a timeout (not a raise),
_dump_subagent_timeout_diagnostic() is invoked.
- The returned path is surfaced in the error string so the parent
agent (and therefore the user / gateway) sees exactly where to look.
- api_calls > 0 timeouts keep the old 'stuck on slow API call'
phrasing since that's the correct diagnosis for those.
This does NOT change any behavior for successful subagent runs,
non-timeout errors, or subagents that made at least one API call
before hanging.
Tests: 7 cases (tests/tools/test_delegate_subagent_timeout_diagnostic.py)
- output format + required sections + field values
- long-goal truncation with [truncated] marker
- missing / already-exited worker thread branches
- unwritable HERMES_HOME/logs/ returns None without raising
- _run_single_child wiring: 0 API calls → dump + diagnostic_path in error
- _run_single_child wiring: N>0 API calls → no dump, old message

When /model selects Custom but model.provider in YAML still reflects a prior provider, trust model.base_url only for loopback hosts or when provider is custom. Consult CUSTOM_BASE_URL before OpenRouter defaults (#14676).
OpenAI's OAuth token endpoint returns errors in a nested shape —
{"error": {"code": "refresh_token_reused", "message": "..."}} —
not the OAuth spec's flat {"error": "...", "error_description": "..."}.
The existing parser only handled the flat shape, so:
- `err.get("error")` returned a dict, the `isinstance(str)` guard
rejected it, and `code` stayed `"codex_refresh_failed"`.
- The dedicated `refresh_token_reused` branch (with its actionable
"re-run codex + hermes auth" message and `relogin_required=True`)
never fired.
- Users saw the generic "Codex token refresh failed with status 401"
when another Codex client (CLI, VS Code extension) had consumed
their single-use refresh token — giving no hint that re-auth was
required.
Parse both shapes, mapping OpenAI's nested `code`/`type` onto the
existing `code` variable so downstream branches (`refresh_token_reused`,
`invalid_grant`, etc.) fire correctly.
Add regression tests covering:
- nested `refresh_token_reused` → actionable message + relogin_required
- nested generic code → code + message surfaced
- flat OAuth-spec `invalid_grant` still handled (back-compat)
- unparseable body → generic fallback message, relogin_required=False

Google AI Studio's free tier (<= 250 req/day for gemini-2.5-flash) is
exhausted in a handful of agent turns, so the setup wizard now refuses
to wire up Gemini when the supplied key is on the free tier, and the
runtime 429 handler appends actionable billing guidance.
Setup-time probe (hermes_cli/main.py):
- `_model_flow_api_key_provider` fires one minimal generateContent call
when provider_id == 'gemini' and classifies the response as
free/paid/unknown via x-ratelimit-limit-requests-per-day header or
429 body containing 'free_tier'.
- Free -> print block message, refuse to save the provider, return.
- Paid -> 'Tier check: paid' and proceed.
- Unknown (network/auth error) -> 'could not verify', proceed anyway.
Runtime 429 handler (agent/gemini_native_adapter.py):
- `gemini_http_error` appends billing guidance when the 429 error body
mentions 'free_tier', catching users who bypass setup by putting
GOOGLE_API_KEY directly in .env.
Tests: 21 unit tests for the probe + error path, 4 tests for the
setup-flow block. All 67 existing gemini tests still pass.
PR #14935 added a Codex-aware context resolver but only new lookups
hit the live /models probe. Users who had run Hermes on gpt-5.5 / 5.4
BEFORE that PR already had the wrong value (e.g. 1,050,000 from
models.dev) persisted in ~/.hermes/context_length_cache.yaml, and the
cache-first lookup in get_model_context_length() returns it forever.
Symptom (reported in the wild by Ludwig, min heo, Gaoge on current
main at 6051fba9d, which is AFTER #14935):
* Startup banner shows context usage against 1M
* Compression fires late and then OpenAI hard-rejects with
'context length will be reduced from 1,050,000 to 128,000'
around the real 272k boundary.
Fix: when the step-1 cache returns a value for an openai-codex lookup,
check whether it's >= 400k. Codex OAuth caps every slug at 272k (live
probe values) so anything at or above 400k is definitionally a
pre-#14935 leftover. Drop that entry from the on-disk cache and fall
through to step 5, which runs the live /models probe and repersists
the correct value (or 272k from the hardcoded fallback if the probe
fails). Non-Codex providers and legitimately-cached Codex entries at
272k are untouched.
Changes:
- agent/model_metadata.py:
* _invalidate_cached_context_length() — drop a single entry from
context_length_cache.yaml and rewrite the file.
* Step-1 cache check in get_model_context_length() now gates
provider=='openai-codex' entries >= 400k through invalidation
instead of returning them.
Tests (3 new in TestCodexOAuthContextLength):
- stale 1.05M Codex entry is dropped from disk AND re-resolved
through the live probe to 272k; unrelated cache entries survive.
- fresh 272k Codex entry is respected (no probe call, no invalidation).
- non-Codex 1M entries (e.g. anthropic/claude-opus-4.6 on OpenRouter)
are unaffected — the guard is strictly scoped to openai-codex.
Full tests/agent/test_model_metadata.py: 88 passed.
Make the main-branch test suite pass again. Most failures were tests
still asserting old shapes after recent refactors; two were real source
bugs.
Source fixes:
- tools/mcp_tool.py: _kill_orphaned_mcp_children() slept 2s on every
shutdown even when no tracked PIDs existed, making test_shutdown_is_parallel
measure ~3s for 3 parallel 1s shutdowns. Early-return when pids is empty.
- hermes_cli/tips.py: tip 105 was 157 chars; corpus max is 150.
Test fixes (mostly stale mock targets / missing fixture fields):
- test_zombie_process_cleanup, test_agent_cache: patch run_agent.cleanup_vm
(the local name bound at import), not tools.terminal_tool.cleanup_vm.
- test_browser_camofox: patch tools.browser_camofox.load_config, not
hermes_cli.config.load_config (the source module, not the resolved one).
- test_flush_memories_codex._chat_response_with_memory_call: add
finish_reason, tool_call.id, tool_call.type so the chat_completions
transport normalizer doesn't AttributeError.
- test_concurrent_interrupt: polling_tool signature now accepts
messages= kwarg that _invoke_tool() passes through.
- test_minimax_provider: add _fallback_chain=[] to the __new__'d agent
so switch_model() doesn't AttributeError.
- test_skills_config: SKILLS_DIR MagicMock + .rglob stopped working
after the scanner switched to agent.skill_utils.iter_skill_index_files
(os.walk-based). Point SKILLS_DIR at a real tmp_path and patch
agent.skill_utils.get_external_skills_dirs.
- test_browser_cdp_tool: browser_cdp toolset was intentionally split into
'browser-cdp' (commit 96b0f3700) so its stricter check_fn doesn't gate
the whole browser toolset; test now expects 'browser-cdp'.
- test_registry: add tools.browser_dialog_tool to the expected
builtin-discovery set (PR #14540 added it).
- test_file_tools TestPatchHints: patch_tool surfaces hints as a '_hint'
key on the JSON payload, not inline '[Hint: ...' text.
- test_write_deny test_hermes_env: resolve .env via get_hermes_home() so
the path matches the profile-aware denylist under hermetic HERMES_HOME.
- test_checkpoint_manager test_falls_back_to_parent: guard the walk-up
so a stray /tmp/pyproject.toml on the host doesn't pick up /tmp as the
project root.
- test_quick_commands: set cli.session_id in the __new__'d CLI so the
alias-args path doesn't trip AttributeError when fuzzy-matching leaks
a skill command across xdist test distribution.
Gemini's Schema validator requires every `enum` entry to be a string,
even when the parent `type` is integer/number/boolean. Discord's
`auto_archive_duration` parameter (`type: integer, enum: [60, 1440,
4320, 10080]`) tripped this on every request that shipped the full
tool catalog to generativelanguage.googleapis.com, surfacing as
`Gateway: Non-retryable client error: Gemini HTTP 400 (INVALID_ARGUMENT)
Invalid value ... (TYPE_STRING), 60` and aborting the turn.
Sanitize by dropping the `enum` key when the declared type is numeric
or boolean and any entry is non-string. The `type` and `description`
survive, so the model still knows the allowed values; the tool handler
keeps its own runtime validation. Other providers (OpenAI,
OpenRouter, Anthropic) are unaffected — the sanitizer only runs for
native Gemini / cloudcode adapters.

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 existing test_local_embedded_setup_materializes_profile_env expected
exact equality on ~/.hermes/.env content; the new HINDSIGHT_TIMEOUT=120
line from the timeout feature now appears in that file. Append it to the
expected string so the test reflects the new post_setup output.
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.
The cherry-picked model_picker test installed its own discord mock at
module-import time via a local _ensure_discord_mock(), overwriting
sys.modules['discord'] with a mock that lacked attributes other
gateway tests needed (Intents.default(), File, app_commands.Choice).
On pytest-xdist workers that collected test_discord_model_picker.py
first, the shared mock in tests/gateway/conftest.py got clobbered and
downstream tests failed with AttributeError / TypeError against
missing mock attrs. Classic sys.modules cross-test pollution (see
xdist-cross-test-pollution skill).
Fix:
- Extend the canonical _ensure_discord_mock() in tests/gateway/conftest.py
to cover everything the model_picker test needs: real View/Select/
Button/SelectOption classes (not MagicMock sentinels), an Embed
class that preserves title/description/color kwargs for assertion,
and Color.greyple.
- Strip the duplicated mock-setup block from test_discord_model_picker.py
and rely on the shared mock that conftest installs at collection
time.

Xiaomi's API (api.xiaomimimo.com) requires lowercase model IDs like
"mimo-v2.5-pro" but rejects mixed-case names like "MiMo-V2.5-Pro"
that users copy from marketing docs or the ProviderEntry description.
Add _LOWERCASE_MODEL_PROVIDERS set and apply .lower() to model names
for providers in this set (currently just xiaomi) after stripping the
provider prefix. This ensures any case variant in config.yaml is
normalized before hitting the API.
Other providers (minimax, zai, etc.) are NOT affected — their APIs
accept mixed case (e.g. MiniMax-M2.7).

Auxiliary tasks (session_search, flush_memories, approvals, compression,
vision, etc.) that route to a named custom provider declared under
config.yaml 'providers:' with 'api_mode: anthropic_messages' were
silently building a plain OpenAI client and POSTing to
{base_url}/chat/completions, which returns 404 on Anthropic-compatible
gateways that only expose /v1/messages.
Two gaps caused this:
1. hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py::_get_named_custom_provider — the
providers-dict branch (new-style) returned only name/base_url/api_key/
model and dropped api_mode. The legacy custom_providers-list branch
already propagated it correctly. The dict branch now parses and
returns api_mode via _parse_api_mode() in both match paths.
2. agent/auxiliary_client.py::resolve_provider_client — the named
custom provider block at ~L1740 ignored custom_entry['api_mode']
and unconditionally built an OpenAI client (only wrapping for
Codex/Responses). It now mirrors _try_custom_endpoint()'s three-way
dispatch: anthropic_messages → AnthropicAuxiliaryClient (async wrapped
in AsyncAnthropicAuxiliaryClient), codex_responses → CodexAuxiliaryClient,
otherwise plain OpenAI. An explicit task-level api_mode override
still wins over the provider entry's declared api_mode.
Fixes#15033
Tests: tests/agent/test_auxiliary_named_custom_providers.py gains a
TestProvidersDictApiModeAnthropicMessages class covering
- providers-dict preserves valid api_mode
- invalid api_mode values are dropped
- missing api_mode leaves the entry unchanged (no regression)
- resolve_provider_client returns (Async)AnthropicAuxiliaryClient for
api_mode=anthropic_messages
- full chain via get_text_auxiliary_client / get_async_text_auxiliary_client
with an auxiliary.<task> override
- providers without api_mode still use the OpenAI-wire path
When context compression fires mid-session, run_agent's _compress_context
ends the current session, creates a new child session linked by
parent_session_id, and resets the SQLite flush cursor. New messages land
in the child; the parent row ends up with message_count = 0. A user who
runs 'hermes --resume <original_id>' sees a blank chat even though the
transcript exists — just under a descendant id.
PR #12920 already fixed the exit banner to print the live descendant id
at session end, but that didn't help users who resume by a session id
captured BEFORE the banner update (scripts, sessions list, old terminal
scrollback) or who type the parent id manually.
Fix: add SessionDB.resolve_resume_session_id() which walks the
parent→child chain forward and returns the first descendant with at
least one message row. Wire it into all three resume entry points:
- HermesCLI._preload_resumed_session() (early resume at run() time)
- HermesCLI._init_agent() (the classical resume path)
- /resume slash command
Semantics preserved when the chain has no descendants with messages,
when the requested session already has messages, or when the id is
unknown. A depth cap of 32 guards against malformed loops.
This does NOT concatenate the pre-compression parent transcript into
the child — the whole point of compression is to shrink that, so
replaying it would blow the cache budget we saved. We just jump to
the post-compression child. The summary already reflects what was
compressed away.
Tests: tests/hermes_state/test_resolve_resume_session_id.py covers
- the exact 6-session shape from the issue
- passthrough when session has messages / no descendants
- passthrough for nonexistent / empty / None input
- middle-of-chain redirects
- fork resolution (prefers most-recent child)

Pin the behaviour added in the preceding commit — `_get_proxy_for_base_url()`
must return None for hosts covered by NO_PROXY and the HTTPS_PROXY otherwise,
and the full `_create_openai_client()` path must NOT mount HTTPProxy for a
NO_PROXY host.

Follow-up to the allowed_channels wildcard fix in the preceding commit.
The same '*' literal trap affected two other Discord channel config lists:
- DISCORD_IGNORED_CHANNELS: '*' was stored as the literal string in the
ignored set, and the intersection check never matched real channel IDs,
so '*' was a no-op instead of silencing every channel.
- DISCORD_FREE_RESPONSE_CHANNELS: same shape — '*' never matched, so
the bot still required a mention everywhere.
Add a '*' short-circuit to both checks, matching the allowed_channels
semantics. Extend tests/gateway/test_discord_allowed_channels.py with
regression coverage for all three lists.
Refs: #14920
allowed_channels: "*" in config (or DISCORD_ALLOWED_CHANNELS="*" env var)
is meant to allow all channels, but the check was comparing numeric channel
IDs against the literal string set {"*"} via set intersection — always empty,
so every message was silently dropped.
Add a "*" short-circuit before the set intersection, consistent with every
other platform's allowlist handling (Signal, Slack, Telegram all do this).
Fixes#14920
Introduces a new plugin hook `pre_gateway_dispatch` fired once per
incoming MessageEvent in `_handle_message`, after the internal-event
guard but before the auth / pairing chain. Plugins may return a dict
to influence flow:
{"action": "skip", "reason": "..."} -> drop (no reply)
{"action": "rewrite", "text": "..."} -> replace event.text
{"action": "allow"} / None -> normal dispatch
Motivation: gateway-level message-flow patterns that don't fit cleanly
into any single adapter — e.g. listen-only group-chat windows (buffer
ambient messages, collapse on @mention), or human-handover silent
ingest (record messages while an owner handles the chat manually).
Today these require forking core; with this hook they can live in a
single profile-agnostic plugin.
Hook runs BEFORE auth so plugins can handle unauthorized senders
(e.g. customer-service handover ingest) without triggering the
pairing-code flow. Exceptions in plugin callbacks are caught and
logged; the first non-None action dict wins, remaining results are
ignored.
Includes:
- `VALID_HOOKS` entry + inline doc in `hermes_cli/plugins.py`
- Invocation block in `gateway/run.py::_handle_message`
- 5 new tests in `tests/gateway/test_pre_gateway_dispatch.py`
(skip, rewrite, allow, exception safety, internal-event bypass)
- 2 additional tests in `tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py`

Manual /compress crashed with 'LCMEngine' object has no attribute
'_align_boundary_forward' when any context-engine plugin was active.
The gateway handler reached into _align_boundary_forward and
_find_tail_cut_by_tokens on tmp_agent.context_compressor, but those
are ContextCompressor-specific — not part of the generic ContextEngine
ABC — so every plugin engine (LCM, etc.) raised AttributeError.
- Add optional has_content_to_compress(messages) to ContextEngine ABC
with a safe default of True (always attempt).
- Override it in the built-in ContextCompressor using the existing
private helpers — preserves exact prior behavior for 'compressor'.
- Rewrite gateway /compress preflight to call the ABC method, deleting
the private-helper reach-in.
- Add focus_topic to the ABC compress() signature. Make _compress_context
retry without focus_topic on TypeError so older strict-sig plugins
don't crash on manual /compress <focus>.
- Regression test with a fake ContextEngine subclass that only
implements the ABC (mirrors LCM's surface).

faster-whisper's device="auto" picks CUDA when ctranslate2's wheel
ships CUDA shared libs, even on hosts without the NVIDIA runtime
(libcublas.so.12 / libcudnn*). On those hosts the model often loads
fine but transcribe() fails at first dlopen, and the broken model
stays cached in the module-global — every subsequent voice message
in the gateway process fails identically until restart.
- Add _load_local_whisper_model() wrapper: try auto, catch missing-lib
errors, retry on device=cpu compute_type=int8.
- Wrap transcribe() with the same fallback: evict cached model, reload
on CPU, retry once. Required because the dlopen failure only surfaces
at first kernel launch, not at model construction.
- Narrow marker list (libcublas, libcudnn, libcudart, 'cannot be loaded',
'no kernel image is available', 'no CUDA-capable device', driver
mismatch). Deliberately excludes 'CUDA out of memory' and similar —
those are real runtime failures that should surface, not be silently
retried on CPU.
- Tests for load-time fallback, runtime fallback (with cached-model
eviction verified), and the OOM non-fallback path.
Reported via Telegram voice-message dumps on WSL2 hosts where libcublas
isn't installed by default.
Local llama.cpp servers (e.g. ggml-org/llama.cpp:full-cuda) fail the entire
request with HTTP 400 'Unable to generate parser for this template. ...
Unrecognized schema: "object"' when any tool schema contains shapes its
json-schema-to-grammar converter can't handle:
* 'type': 'object' without 'properties'
* bare string schema values ('additionalProperties: "object"')
* 'type': ['X', 'null'] arrays (nullable form)
Cloud providers accept these silently, so they ship from external MCP
servers (Atlassian, GCloud, Datadog) and from a couple of our own tools.
Changes
- tools/schema_sanitizer.py: walks the finalized tool list right before it
leaves get_tool_definitions() and repairs the hostile shapes in a deep
copy. No-op on well-formed schemas. Recurses into properties, items,
additionalProperties, anyOf/oneOf/allOf, and $defs.
- model_tools.get_tool_definitions(): invoke the sanitizer as the last
step so all paths (built-in, MCP, plugin, dynamically-rebuilt) get
covered uniformly.
- tools/browser_cdp_tool.py, tools/mcp_tool.py: fix our own bare-object
schemas so sanitization isn't load-bearing for in-repo tools.
- tui_gateway/server.py: _load_enabled_toolsets() was passing
include_default_mcp_servers=False at runtime. That's the config-editing
variant (see PR #3252) — it silently drops every default MCP server
from the TUI's enabled_toolsets, which is why the TUI didn't hit the
llama.cpp crash (no MCP tools sent at all). Switch to True so TUI
matches CLI behavior.
Tests
tests/tools/test_schema_sanitizer.py (17 tests) covers the individual
failure modes, well-formed pass-through, deep-copy isolation, and
required-field pruning.
E2E: loaded the default 'hermes-cli' toolset with MCP discovery and
confirmed all 27 resolved tool schemas pass a llama.cpp-compatibility

Wrap the existing version label in the welcome-banner panel title

Clickable in modern terminals (iTerm2, WezTerm, Windows Terminal,
GNOME Terminal, Kitty, etc.); degrades to plain text on terminals
without OSC-8 support. No new line added to the banner.
New get_latest_release_tag() helper runs 'git describe --tags
--abbrev=0' in the Hermes checkout (3s timeout, per-process cache,
silent fallback for non-git/pip installs and forks without tags).
OpenRouter returns a 404 with the specific message
'No endpoints available matching your guardrail restrictions and data
policy. Configure: https://openrouter.ai/settings/privacy'
when a user's account-level privacy setting excludes the only endpoint
serving a model (e.g. DeepSeek V4 Pro, which today is hosted only by
DeepSeek's own endpoint that may log inputs).
Before this change we classified it as model_not_found, which was
misleading (the model exists) and triggered provider fallback (useless —
the same account setting applies to every OpenRouter call).
Now it classifies as a new FailoverReason.provider_policy_blocked with
retryable=False, should_fallback=False. The error body already contains
the fix URL, so the user still gets actionable guidance.
On ChatGPT Codex OAuth every gpt-5.x slug actually caps at 272,000 tokens,
but Hermes was resolving gpt-5.5 / gpt-5.4 to 1,050,000 (from models.dev)
because openai-codex aliases to the openai entry there. At 1.05M the
compressor never fires and requests hard-fail with 'context window
exceeded' around the real 272k boundary.
Verified live against chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/models:
gpt-5.5, gpt-5.4, gpt-5.4-mini, gpt-5.3-codex, gpt-5.2-codex,
gpt-5.2, gpt-5.1-codex-max → context_window = 272000
Changes:
- agent/model_metadata.py:
* _fetch_codex_oauth_context_lengths() — probe the Codex /models
endpoint with the OAuth bearer token and read context_window per
slug (1h in-memory TTL).
* _resolve_codex_oauth_context_length() — prefer the live probe,
fall back to hardcoded _CODEX_OAUTH_CONTEXT_FALLBACK (all 272k).
* Wire into get_model_context_length() when provider=='openai-codex',
running BEFORE the models.dev lookup (which returns 1.05M). Result
persists via save_context_length() so subsequent lookups skip the
probe entirely.
* Fixed the now-wrong comment on the DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS gpt-5.5
entry (400k was never right for Codex; it's the catch-all for
providers we can't probe live).
Tests (4 new in TestCodexOAuthContextLength):
- fallback table used when no token is available (no models.dev leakage)
- live probe overrides the fallback
- probe failure (non-200) falls back to hardcoded 272k
- non-codex providers (openrouter, direct openai) unaffected
Non-codex context resolution is unchanged — the Codex branch only fires
when provider=='openai-codex'.
* docs: browser CDP supervisor design (for upcoming PR)
Design doc ahead of implementation — dialog + iframe detection/interaction
via a persistent CDP supervisor. Covers backend capability matrix (verified
live 2026-04-23), architecture, lifecycle, policy, agent surface, PR split,
non-goals, and test plan.
Supersedes #12550.
No code changes in this commit.
* feat(browser): add persistent CDP supervisor for dialog + frame detection
Single persistent CDP WebSocket per Hermes task_id that subscribes to
Page/Runtime/Target events and maintains thread-safe state for pending
dialogs, frame tree, and console errors.
Supervisor lives in its own daemon thread running an asyncio loop;
external callers use sync API (snapshot(), respond_to_dialog()) that
bridges onto the loop.
Auto-attaches to OOPIF child targets via Target.setAutoAttach{flatten:true}
and enables Page+Runtime on each so iframe-origin dialogs surface through
the same supervisor.
Dialog policies: must_respond (default, 300s safety timeout),
auto_dismiss, auto_accept.
Frame tree capped at 30 entries + OOPIF depth 2 to keep snapshot
payloads bounded on ad-heavy pages.
E2E verified against real Chrome via smoke test — detects + responds
to main-frame alerts, iframe-contentWindow alerts, preserves frame
tree, graceful no-dialog error path, clean shutdown.
No agent-facing tool wiring in this commit (comes next).
* feat(browser): add browser_dialog tool wired to CDP supervisor
Agent-facing response-only tool. Schema:
action: 'accept' | 'dismiss' (required)
prompt_text: response for prompt() dialogs (optional)
dialog_id: disambiguate when multiple dialogs queued (optional)
Handler:
SUPERVISOR_REGISTRY.get(task_id).respond_to_dialog(...)
check_fn shares _browser_cdp_check with browser_cdp so both surface and
hide together. When no supervisor is attached (Camofox, default
Playwright, or no browser session started yet), tool is hidden; if
somehow invoked it returns a clear error pointing the agent to
browser_navigate / /browser connect.
Registered in _HERMES_CORE_TOOLS and the browser / hermes-acp /
hermes-api-server toolsets alongside browser_cdp.
* feat(browser): wire CDP supervisor into session lifecycle + browser_snapshot
Supervisor lifecycle:
* _get_session_info lazy-starts the supervisor after a session row is
materialized — covers every backend code path (Browserbase, cdp_url
override, /browser connect, future providers) with one hook.
* cleanup_browser(task_id) stops the supervisor for that task first
(before the backend tears down CDP).
* cleanup_all_browsers() calls SUPERVISOR_REGISTRY.stop_all().
* /browser connect eagerly starts the supervisor for task 'default'
so the first snapshot already shows pending_dialogs.
* /browser disconnect stops the supervisor.
CDP URL resolution for the supervisor:
1. BROWSER_CDP_URL / browser.cdp_url override.
2. Fallback: session_info['cdp_url'] from cloud providers (Browserbase).
browser_snapshot merges supervisor state (pending_dialogs + frame_tree)
into its JSON output when a supervisor is active — the agent reads
pending_dialogs from the snapshot it already requests, then calls
browser_dialog to respond. No extra tool surface.
Config defaults:
* browser.dialog_policy: 'must_respond' (new)
* browser.dialog_timeout_s: 300 (new)
No version bump — new keys deep-merge into existing browser section.
Deadlock fix in supervisor event dispatch:
* _on_dialog_opening and _on_target_attached used to await CDP calls
while the reader was still processing an event — but only the reader
can set the response Future, so the call timed out.
* Both now fire asyncio.create_task(...) so the reader stays pumping.
* auto_dismiss/auto_accept now actually close the dialog immediately.
Tests (tests/tools/test_browser_supervisor.py, 11 tests, real Chrome):
* supervisor start/snapshot
* main-frame alert detection + dismiss
* iframe.contentWindow alert
* prompt() with prompt_text reply
* respond with no pending dialog -> clean error
* auto_dismiss clears on event
* registry idempotency
* registry stop -> snapshot reports inactive
* browser_dialog tool no-supervisor error
* browser_dialog invalid action
* browser_dialog end-to-end via tool handler
xdist-safe: chrome_cdp fixture uses a per-worker port.
Skipped when google-chrome/chromium isn't installed.
* docs(browser): document browser_dialog tool + CDP supervisor
- user-guide/features/browser.md: new browser_dialog section with
workflow, availability gate, and dialog_policy table
- reference/tools-reference.md: row for browser_dialog, tool count
bumped 53 -> 54, browser tools count 11 -> 12
- reference/toolsets-reference.md: browser_dialog added to browser
toolset row with note on pending_dialogs / frame_tree snapshot fields
Full design doc lives at
developer-guide/browser-supervisor.md (committed earlier).
* fix(browser): reconnect loop + recent_dialogs for Browserbase visibility
Found via Browserbase E2E test that revealed two production-critical issues:
1. **Supervisor WebSocket drops when other clients disconnect.** Browserbase's
CDP proxy tears down our long-lived WebSocket whenever a short-lived
client (e.g. agent-browser CLI's per-command CDP connection) disconnects.
Fixed with a reconnecting _run loop that re-attaches with exponential
backoff on drops. _page_session_id and _child_sessions are reset on each
reconnect; pending_dialogs and frames are preserved across reconnects.
2. **Browserbase auto-dismisses dialogs server-side within ~10ms.** Their
Playwright-based CDP proxy dismisses alert/confirm/prompt before our
Page.handleJavaScriptDialog call can respond. So pending_dialogs is
empty by the time the agent reads a snapshot on Browserbase.
Added a recent_dialogs ring buffer (capacity 20) that retains a
DialogRecord for every dialog that opened, with a closed_by tag:
* 'agent' — agent called browser_dialog
* 'auto_policy' — local auto_dismiss/auto_accept fired
* 'watchdog' — must_respond timeout auto-dismissed (300s default)
* 'remote' — browser/backend closed it on us (Browserbase)
Agents on Browserbase now see the dialog history with closed_by='remote'
so they at least know a dialog fired, even though they couldn't respond.
3. **Page.javascriptDialogClosed matching bug.** The event doesn't include a
'message' field (CDP spec has only 'result' and 'userInput') but our
_on_dialog_closed was matching on message. Fixed to match by session_id
+ oldest-first, with a safety assumption that only one dialog is in
flight per session (the JS thread is blocked while a dialog is up).
Docs + tests updated:
* browser.md: new availability matrix showing the three backends and
which mode (pending / recent / response) each supports
* developer-guide/browser-supervisor.md: three-field snapshot schema
with closed_by semantics
* test_browser_supervisor.py: +test_recent_dialogs_ring_buffer (12/12
passing against real Chrome)
E2E verified both backends:
* Local Chrome via /browser connect: detect + respond full workflow
(smoke_supervisor.py all 7 scenarios pass)
* Browserbase: detect via recent_dialogs with closed_by='remote'
(smoke_supervisor_browserbase_v2.py passes)
Camofox remains out of scope (REST-only, no CDP) — tracked for
upstream PR 3.
* feat(browser): XHR bridge for dialog response on Browserbase (FIXED)
Browserbase's CDP proxy auto-dismisses native JS dialogs within ~10ms, so
Page.handleJavaScriptDialog calls lose the race. Solution: bypass native
dialogs entirely.
The supervisor now injects Page.addScriptToEvaluateOnNewDocument with a
JavaScript override for window.alert/confirm/prompt. Those overrides
perform a synchronous XMLHttpRequest to a magic host
('hermes-dialog-bridge.invalid'). We intercept those XHRs via Fetch.enable
with a requestStage=Request pattern.
Flow when a page calls alert('hi'):
1. window.alert override intercepts, builds XHR GET to
http://hermes-dialog-bridge.invalid/?kind=alert&message=hi
2. Sync XHR blocks the page's JS thread (mirrors real dialog semantics)
3. Fetch.requestPaused fires on our WebSocket; supervisor surfaces
it as a pending dialog with bridge_request_id set
4. Agent reads pending_dialogs from browser_snapshot, calls browser_dialog
5. Supervisor calls Fetch.fulfillRequest with JSON body:
{accept: true|false, prompt_text: '...', dialog_id: 'd-N'}
6. The injected script parses the body, returns the appropriate value
from the override (undefined for alert, bool for confirm, string|null
for prompt)
This works identically on Browserbase AND local Chrome — no native dialog
ever fires, so Browserbase's auto-dismiss has nothing to race. Dialog
policies (must_respond / auto_dismiss / auto_accept) all still work.
Bridge is installed on every attached session (main page + OOPIF child
sessions) so iframe dialogs are captured too.
Native-dialog path kept as a fallback for backends that don't auto-dismiss
(so a page that somehow bypasses our override — e.g. iframes that load
after Fetch.enable but before the init-script runs — still gets observed
via Page.javascriptDialogOpening).
E2E VERIFIED:
* Local Chrome: 13/13 pytest tests green (12 original + new
test_bridge_captures_prompt_and_returns_reply_text that asserts
window.__ret === 'AGENT-SUPPLIED-REPLY' after agent responds)
* Browserbase: smoke_bb_bridge_v2.py runs 4/4 PASS:
- alert('BB-ALERT-MSG') dismiss → page.alert_ret = undefined ✓
- prompt('BB-PROMPT-MSG', 'default-xyz') accept with 'AGENT-REPLY'
→ page.prompt_ret === 'AGENT-REPLY' ✓
- confirm('BB-CONFIRM-MSG') accept → page.confirm_ret === true ✓
- confirm('BB-CONFIRM-MSG') dismiss → page.confirm_ret === false ✓
Docs updated in browser.md and developer-guide/browser-supervisor.md —
availability matrix now shows Browserbase at full parity with local
Chrome for both detection and response.
* feat(browser): cross-origin iframe interaction via browser_cdp(frame_id=...)
Adds iframe interaction to the CDP supervisor PR (was queued as PR 2).
Design: browser_cdp gets an optional frame_id parameter. When set, the
tool looks up the frame in the supervisor's frame_tree, grabs its child
cdp_session_id (OOPIF session), and dispatches the CDP call through the
supervisor's already-connected WebSocket via run_coroutine_threadsafe.
Why not stateless: on Browserbase, each fresh browser_cdp WebSocket
must re-negotiate against a signed connectUrl. The session info carries
a specific URL that can expire while the supervisor's long-lived
connection stays valid. Routing via the supervisor sidesteps this.
Agent workflow:
1. browser_snapshot → frame_tree.children[] shows OOPIFs with is_oopif=true
2. browser_cdp(method='Runtime.evaluate', frame_id=<OOPIF frame_id>,
params={'expression': 'document.title', 'returnByValue': True})
3. Supervisor dispatches the call on the OOPIF's child session
Supervisor state fixes needed along the way:
* _on_frame_detached now skips reason='swap' (frame migrating processes)
* _on_frame_detached also skips when the frame is an OOPIF with a live
child session — Browserbase fires spurious remove events when a
same-origin iframe gets promoted to OOPIF
* _on_target_detached clears cdp_session_id but KEEPS the frame record
so the agent still sees the OOPIF in frame_tree during transient
session flaps
E2E VERIFIED on Browserbase (smoke_bb_iframe_agent_path.py):
browser_cdp(method='Runtime.evaluate',
params={'expression': 'document.title', 'returnByValue': True},
frame_id=<OOPIF>)
→ {'success': True, 'result': {'value': 'Example Domain'}}
The iframe is <iframe src='https://example.com/'> inside a top-level
data: URL page on a real Browserbase session. The agent Runtime.evaluates
INSIDE the cross-origin iframe and gets example.com's title back.
Tests (tests/tools/test_browser_supervisor.py — 16 pass total):
* test_browser_cdp_frame_id_routes_via_supervisor — injects fake OOPIF,
verifies routing via supervisor, Runtime.evaluate returns 1+1=2
* test_browser_cdp_frame_id_missing_supervisor — clean error when no
supervisor attached
* test_browser_cdp_frame_id_not_in_frame_tree — clean error on bad
frame_id
Docs (browser.md and developer-guide/browser-supervisor.md) updated with
the iframe workflow, availability matrix now shows OOPIF eval as shipped
for local Chrome + Browserbase.
* test(browser): real-OOPIF E2E verified manually + chrome_cdp uses --site-per-process
When asked 'did you test the iframe stuff' I had only done a mocked
pytest (fake injected OOPIF) plus a Browserbase E2E. Closed the
local-Chrome real-OOPIF gap by writing /tmp/dialog-iframe-test/
smoke_local_oopif.py:
* 2 http servers on different hostnames (localhost:18905 + 127.0.0.1:18906)
* Chrome with --site-per-process so the cross-origin iframe becomes a
real OOPIF in its own process
* Navigate, find OOPIF in supervisor.frame_tree, call
browser_cdp(method='Runtime.evaluate', frame_id=<OOPIF>) which routes
through the supervisor's child session
* Asserts iframe document.title === 'INNER-FRAME-XYZ' (from the
inner page, retrieved via OOPIF eval)
PASSED on 2026-04-23.
Tried to embed this as a pytest but hit an asyncio version quirk between
venv (3.11) and the system python (3.13) — Page.navigate hangs in the
pytest harness but works in standalone. Left a self-documenting skip
test that points to the smoke script + describes the verification.
chrome_cdp fixture now passes --site-per-process so future iframe tests
can rely on OOPIF behavior.
Result: 16 pass + 1 documented-skip = 17 tests in
tests/tools/test_browser_supervisor.py.
* docs(browser): add dialog_policy + dialog_timeout_s to configuration.md, fix tool count
Pre-merge docs audit revealed two gaps:
1. user-guide/configuration.md browser config example was missing the
two new dialog_* knobs. Added with a short table explaining
must_respond / auto_dismiss / auto_accept semantics and a link to
the feature page for the full workflow.
2. reference/tools-reference.md header said '54 built-in tools' — real
count on main is 54, this branch adds browser_dialog so it's 55.
Fixed the header. (browser count was already correctly bumped
11 -> 12 in the earlier docs commit.)
No code changes.
* feat(config): make tool output truncation limits configurable
Port from anomalyco/opencode#23770: expose a new `tool_output` config
section so users can tune the hardcoded truncation caps that apply to
terminal output and read_file pagination.
Three knobs under `tool_output`:
- max_bytes (default 50_000) — terminal stdout/stderr cap
- max_lines (default 2000) — read_file pagination cap
- max_line_length (default 2000) — per-line cap in line-numbered view
All three keep their existing hardcoded values as defaults, so behaviour
is unchanged when the section is absent. Power users on big-context
models can raise them; small-context local models can lower them.
Implementation:
- New `tools/tool_output_limits.py` reads the section with defensive
fallback (missing/invalid values → defaults, never raises).
- `tools/terminal_tool.py` MAX_OUTPUT_CHARS now comes from
get_max_bytes().
- `tools/file_operations.py` normalize_read_pagination() and
_add_line_numbers() now pull the limits at call time.
- `hermes_cli/config.py` DEFAULT_CONFIG gains the `tool_output` section
so `hermes setup` writes defaults into fresh configs.
- Docs page `user-guide/configuration.md` gains a "Tool Output
Truncation Limits" section with large-context and small-context
example configs.
Tests (18 new in tests/tools/test_tool_output_limits.py):
- Default resolution with missing / malformed / non-dict config.
- Full and partial user overrides.
- Coercion of bad values (None, negative, wrong type, str int).
- Shortcut accessors delegate correctly.
- DEFAULT_CONFIG exposes the section with the right defaults.
- Integration: normalize_read_pagination clamps to the configured
max_lines.
* feat(skills): add design-md skill for Google's DESIGN.md spec
Built-in skill under skills/creative/ that teaches the agent to author,
lint, diff, and export DESIGN.md files — Google's open-source
(Apache-2.0) format for describing a visual identity to coding agents.
Covers:
- YAML front matter + markdown body anatomy
- Full token schema (colors, typography, rounded, spacing, components)
- Canonical section order + duplicate-heading rejection
- Component property whitelist + variants-as-siblings pattern
- CLI workflow via 'npx @google/design.md' (lint/diff/export/spec)
- Lint rule reference including WCAG contrast checks
- Common YAML pitfalls (quoted hex, negative dimensions, dotted refs)
- Starter template at templates/starter.md
Package verified live on npm (@google/design.md@0.1.1).
Two fixes on top of the fuzzy-@ branch:
(1) Rebase artefact: re-apply only the fuzzy additions on top of
fresh `tui_gateway/server.py`. The earlier commit was cut from a
base 58 commits behind main and clobbered ~170 lines of
voice.toggle / voice.record handlers and the gateway crash hooks
(`_panic_hook`, `_thread_panic_hook`). Reset server.py to
origin/main and re-add only:
- `_FUZZY_*` constants + `_list_repo_files` + `_fuzzy_basename_rank`
- the new fuzzy branch in the `complete.path` handler
(2) Path scoping (Copilot review): `git ls-files` returns repo-root-
relative paths, but completions need to resolve under the gateway's
cwd. When hermes is launched from a subdirectory, the previous
code surfaced `@file:apps/web/src/foo.tsx` even though the agent
would resolve that relative to `apps/web/` and miss. Fix:
- `git -C root rev-parse --show-toplevel` to get repo top
- `git -C top ls-files …` for the listing
- `os.path.relpath(top + p, root)` per result, dropping anything
starting with `../` so the picker stays scoped to cwd-and-below
(matches Cmd-P workspace semantics)
`apps/web/src/foo.tsx` ends up as `@file:src/foo.tsx` from inside
`apps/web/`, and sibling subtrees + parent-of-cwd files don't leak.
New test `test_fuzzy_paths_relative_to_cwd_inside_subdir` builds a
3-package mono-repo, runs from `apps/web/`, and verifies completion
paths are subtree-relative + outside-of-cwd files don't appear.
Copilot review threads addressed: #3134675504 (path scoping),
#3134675532 (`voice.toggle` regression), #3134675541 (`voice.record`
regression — both were stale-base artefacts, not behavioural changes).
Typing `@appChrome` in the composer should surface
`ui-tui/src/components/appChrome.tsx` without requiring the user to
first type the full directory path — matches the Cmd-P behaviour
users expect from modern editors.
The gateway's `complete.path` handler was doing a plain
`os.listdir(".")` + `startswith` prefix match, so basenames only
resolved inside the current working directory. This reworks it to:
- enumerate repo files via `git ls-files -z --cached --others
--exclude-standard` (fast, honours `.gitignore`); fall back to a
bounded `os.walk` that skips common vendor / build dirs when the
working dir isn't a git repo. Results cached per-root with a 5s
TTL so rapid keystrokes don't respawn git processes.
- rank basenames with a 5-tier scorer: exact → prefix → camelCase
/ word-boundary → substring → subsequence. Shorter basenames win
ties; shorter rel paths break basename-length ties.
- only take the fuzzy branch when the query is bare (no `/`), is a
context reference (`@...`), and isn't `@folder:` — path-ish
queries and folder tags fall through to the existing
directory-listing path so explicit navigation intent is
preserved.
Completion rows now carry `display = basename`,
`meta = directory`, so the picker renders
`appChrome.tsx ui-tui/src/components` on one row (basename bold,
directory dim) — the meta column was previously "dir" / "" and is
a more useful signal for fuzzy hits.
Reported by Ben Barclay during the TUI v2 blitz test.
The TUI had drifted from the CLI's voice model in two ways:
- /voice on was lighting up the microphone immediately and Ctrl+B was
interpreted as a mode toggle. The CLI separates the two: /voice on
just flips the umbrella bit, recording only starts once the user
presses Ctrl+B, which also sets _voice_continuous so the VAD loop
auto-restarts until the user presses Ctrl+B again or three silent
cycles pass.
- /voice tts was missing entirely, so users couldn't turn agent reply
speech on/off from inside the TUI.
This commit brings the TUI to parity.
Python
- hermes_cli/voice.py: continuous-mode API (start_continuous,
stop_continuous, is_continuous_active) layered on the existing PTT
wrappers. The silence callback transcribes, fires on_transcript,
tracks consecutive no-speech cycles, and auto-restarts — mirroring
cli.py:_voice_stop_and_transcribe + _restart_recording.
- tui_gateway/server.py:
- voice.toggle now supports on / off / tts / status. The umbrella
bit lives in HERMES_VOICE + display.voice_enabled; tts lives in
HERMES_VOICE_TTS + display.voice_tts. /voice off also tears down
any active continuous loop so a toggle-off really releases the
microphone.
- voice.record start/stop now drives start_continuous/stop_continuous.
start is refused with a clear error when the mode is off, matching
cli.py:handle_voice_record's early return on `not _voice_mode`.
- New voice.transcript / voice.status events emit through
_voice_emit (remembers the sid that last enabled the mode so
events land in the right session).
TypeScript
- gatewayTypes.ts: voice.status + voice.transcript event
discriminants; VoiceToggleResponse gains tts; VoiceRecordResponse
gains status for the new "started/stopped" responses.
- interfaces.ts: GatewayEventHandlerContext gains composer.setInput +
submission.submitRef + voice.{setRecording, setProcessing,
setVoiceEnabled}; InputHandlerContext.voice gains enabled +
setVoiceEnabled for the mode-aware Ctrl+B handler.
- createGatewayEventHandler.ts: voice.status drives REC/STT badges;
voice.transcript auto-submits when the composer is empty (CLI
_pending_input.put parity) and appends when a draft is in flight.
no_speech_limit flips voice off + sys line.
- useInputHandlers.ts: Ctrl+B now calls voice.record (start/stop),
not voice.toggle, and nudges the user with a sys line when the
mode is off instead of silently flipping it on.
- useMainApp.ts: wires the new event-handler context fields.
- slash/commands/session.ts: /voice handles on / off / tts / status
with CLI-matching output ("voice: mode on · tts off").
Backward compat preserved for voice.record (was always PTT shape;
gateway still honours start/stop with mode-gating added).
tui_gateway/server.py:3486/3491/3509 imports start_recording,
stop_and_transcribe, and speak_text from hermes_cli.voice, but the
module never existed (not in git history — never shipped, never
deleted). Every voice.record / voice.tts RPC call hit the ImportError
branch and the TUI surfaced it as "voice module not available — install
audio dependencies" even on boxes with sounddevice / faster-whisper /
numpy installed.
Adds a thin wrapper on top of tools.voice_mode (recording +
transcription) and tools.tts_tool (text-to-speech):
- start_recording() — idempotent; stores the active AudioRecorder in a
module-global guarded by a Lock so repeat Ctrl+B presses don't fight
over the mic.
- stop_and_transcribe() — returns None for no-op / no-speech /
Whisper-hallucination cases so the TUI's existing "no speech detected"
path keeps working unchanged.
- speak_text(text) — lazily imports tts_tool (optional provider SDKs
stay unloaded until the first /voice tts call), parses the tool's
JSON result, and plays the audio via play_audio_file.
Paired with the Ctrl+B keybinding fix in the prior commit, the TUI
voice pipeline now works end-to-end for the first time.
Fixes a broader class of 'tools.function.parameters is not a valid
moonshot flavored json schema' errors on Nous / OpenRouter aggregators
routing to moonshotai/kimi-k2.6 with MCP tools loaded.
## Moonshot sanitizer (agent/moonshot_schema.py, new)
Model-name-routed (not base-URL-routed) so Nous / OpenRouter users are
covered alongside api.moonshot.ai. Applied in
ChatCompletionsTransport.build_kwargs when is_moonshot_model(model).
Two repairs:
1. Fill missing 'type' on every property / items / anyOf-child schema
node (structural walk — only schema-position dicts are touched, not
container maps like properties/$defs).
2. Strip 'type' at anyOf parents; Moonshot rejects it.
## MCP normalizer hardened (tools/mcp_tool.py)
Draft-07 $ref rewrite from PR #14802 now also does:
- coerce missing / null 'type' on object-shaped nodes (salvages #4897)
- prune 'required' arrays to names that exist in 'properties'
(salvages #4651; Gemini 400s on dangling required)
- apply recursively, not just top-level
These repairs are provider-agnostic so the same MCP schema is valid on
OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and Moonshot in one pass.
## Crash fix: safe getattr for Tool.inputSchema
_convert_mcp_schema now uses getattr(t, 'inputSchema', None) so MCP
servers whose Tool objects omit the attribute entirely no longer abort
registration (salvages #3882).
## Validation
- tests/agent/test_moonshot_schema.py: 27 new tests (model detection,
missing-type fill, anyOf-parent strip, non-mutation, real-world MCP
shape)
- tests/tools/test_mcp_tool.py: 7 new tests (missing / null type,
required pruning, nested repair, safe getattr)
- tests/agent/transports/test_chat_completions.py: 2 new integration
tests (Moonshot route sanitizes, non-Moonshot route doesn't)
- Targeted suite: 49 passed
- E2E via execute_code with a realistic MCP tool carrying all three
Moonshot rejection modes + dangling required + draft-07 refs:
sanitizer produces a schema valid on Moonshot and Gemini
Cron now resolves its toolset from the same per-platform config the
gateway uses — `_get_platform_tools(cfg, 'cron')` — instead of blindly
loading every default toolset. Existing cron jobs without a per-job
override automatically lose `moa`, `homeassistant`, and `rl` (the
`_DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS` set), which stops the "surprise $4.63
mixture_of_agents run" class of bug (Norbert, Discord).
Precedence inside `run_job`:
1. per-job `enabled_toolsets` (PR #14767 / #6130) — wins if set
2. `_get_platform_tools(cfg, 'cron')` — new, the blanket gate
3. `None` fallback (legacy) — only on resolver exception
Changes:
- hermes_cli/platforms.py: register 'cron' with default_toolset
'hermes-cron'
- toolsets.py: add 'hermes-cron' toolset (mirrors 'hermes-cli';
`_get_platform_tools` then filters via `_DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS`)
- cron/scheduler.py: add `_resolve_cron_enabled_toolsets(job, cfg)`,
call it at the `AIAgent(...)` kwargs site
- tests/cron/test_scheduler.py: replace the 'None when not set' test
(outdated contract) with an invariant ('moa not in default cron
toolset') + new per-job-wins precedence test
- tests/hermes_cli/test_tools_config.py: mark 'cron' as non-messaging
in the gateway-toolset-coverage test
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
- vite build: 418 kB bundle, ~2 kB delta for slots/theme extensions

- test_moa_defaults: was a change-detector tied to the exact frontier
model list — flips red every OpenRouter churn. Rewritten as an

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.
Follow-up to Magaav's safe sync policy. Two gaps in the canonicalizer
caused false diffs or silent drift:
1. discord.py's AppCommand.to_dict() omits nsfw, dm_permission, and
default_member_permissions — those live only on attributes. The
canonicalizer was reading them via payload.get() and getting defaults
(False/True/None), while the desired side from Command.to_dict(tree)
had the real values. Any command using non-default permissions
false-diffed on every startup. Pull them from the AppCommand
attributes via _existing_command_to_payload().
2. contexts and integration_types weren't canonicalized at all, so
drift in either was silently ignored. Added both to
_canonicalize_app_command_payload (sorted for stable compare).
Also normalized default_member_permissions to str-or-None since the
server emits strings but discord.py stores ints locally.
Added regression tests for both gaps.
Replaces blind tree.sync() on every Discord reconnect with a diff-based
reconcile. In safe mode (default), fetch existing global commands,
compare desired vs existing payloads, skip unchanged, PATCH changed,
recreate when non-patchable metadata differs, POST missing, and delete
stale commands one-by-one. Keeps 'bulk' for legacy behavior and 'off'
to skip startup sync entirely.
Fixes restart-heavy workflows that burn Discord's command write budget
and can surface 429s when iterating on native slash commands.

and its redirection variant.
cmd_update no longer SIGKILLs in-flight agent runs, and users get
'still working' status every 3 min instead of 10. Two long-standing
sources of '@user — agent gives up mid-task' reports on Telegram and
other gateways.
Drain-aware update:
- New helper hermes_cli.gateway._graceful_restart_via_sigusr1(pid,
drain_timeout) sends SIGUSR1 to the gateway and polls os.kill(pid,
0) until the process exits or the budget expires.
- cmd_update's systemd loop now reads MainPID via 'systemctl show
--property=MainPID --value' and tries the graceful path first. The
gateway's existing SIGUSR1 handler -> request_restart(via_service=
True) -> drain -> exit(75) is wired in gateway/run.py and is
respawned by systemd's Restart=on-failure (and the explicit
RestartForceExitStatus=75 on newer units).
- Falls back to 'systemctl restart' when MainPID is unknown, the
drain budget elapses, or the unit doesn't respawn after exit (older
units missing Restart=on-failure). Old install behavior preserved.
- Drain budget = max(restart_drain_timeout, 30s) + 15s margin so the
drain loop in run_agent + final exit have room before fallback
fires. Composes with #14728's tool-subprocess reaping.
Notification interval:
- agent.gateway_notify_interval default 600 -> 180.
- HERMES_AGENT_NOTIFY_INTERVAL env-var fallback in gateway/run.py
matched.
- 9-minute weak-model spinning runs now ping at 3 min and 6 min
instead of 27 seconds before completion, removing the 'is the bot
dead?' reflex that drives gateway-restart cycles.
Tests:
- Two new tests in tests/hermes_cli/test_update_gateway_restart.py:
one asserts SIGUSR1 is sent and 'systemctl restart' is NOT called
when MainPID is known and the helper succeeds; one asserts the
fallback fires when the helper returns False.
- E2E: spawned detached bash processes confirm the helper returns
True on SIGUSR1-handling exit (~0.5s) and False on SIGUSR1-ignoring
processes (timeout). Verified non-existent PID and pid=0 edge cases.
- 41/41 in test_update_gateway_restart.py (was 39, +2 new).
- 154/154 in shutdown-related suites including #14728's new tests.
Reported by @GeoffWellman and @ANT_1515 on X.
Closes#11616.
The agent's API retry loop hardcoded max_retries = 3, so users with
fallback providers on flaky primaries burned through ~3 × provider
timeout (e.g. 3 × 180s = 9 minutes) before their fallback chain got a
chance to kick in.
Expose a new config key:
agent:
api_max_retries: 3 # default unchanged
Set it to 1 for fast failover when you have fallback providers, or
raise it if you prefer longer tolerance on a single provider. Values
< 1 are clamped to 1 (single attempt, no retry); non-integer values
fall back to the default.
This wraps the Hermes-level retry loop only — the OpenAI SDK's own
low-level retries (max_retries=2 default) still run beneath this for
transient network errors.
Changes:
- hermes_cli/config.py: add agent.api_max_retries default 3 with comment.
- run_agent.py: read self._api_max_retries in AIAgent.__init__; replace
hardcoded max_retries = 3 in the retry loop with self._api_max_retries.
- cli-config.yaml.example: documented example entry.
- hermes_cli/tips.py: discoverable tip line.
- tests/run_agent/test_api_max_retries_config.py: 4 tests covering
default, override, clamp-to-one, and invalid-value fallback.
Closes#8202.
Root cause: stop() reclaimed tool-call bash/sleep children only at the
very end of the shutdown sequence — after a 60s drain, 5s interrupt
grace, and per-adapter disconnect. Under systemd (TimeoutStopSec bounded
by drain_timeout), that meant the cgroup SIGKILL escalation fired first,
and systemd reaped the bash/sleep children instead of us.
Fix:
- Extract tool-subprocess cleanup into a local helper
_kill_tool_subprocesses() in _stop_impl().
- Invoke it eagerly right after _interrupt_running_agents() on the
drain-timeout path, before adapter disconnect.
- Keep the existing catch-all call at the end for the graceful path
and defense in depth against mid-teardown respawns.
- Bump generated systemd unit TimeoutStopSec to drain_timeout + 30s
so cleanup + disconnect + DB close has headroom above the drain
budget, matching the 'subprocess timeout > TimeoutStopSec + margin'
rule from the skill.
Tests:
- New: test_gateway_stop_kills_tool_subprocesses_before_adapter_disconnect_on_timeout
asserts kill_all() runs before disconnect() when drain times out.
- New: test_gateway_stop_kills_tool_subprocesses_on_graceful_path
guards that the final catch-all still fires when drain succeeds
(regression guard against accidental removal during refactor).
- Updated: existing systemd unit generator tests expect TimeoutStopSec=90
(= 60s drain + 30s headroom) with explanatory comment.
Previously delegate_task exposed 'max_iterations' in its JSON schema and used
`max_iterations or default_max_iter` — so a model guessing conservatively (or
copy-pasting a docstring hint like 'Only set lower for simple tasks') could
silently shrink a subagent's budget below the user's configured
delegation.max_iterations. One such call this session capped a deep forensic
audit at 40 iterations while the user's config was set to 250.
Changes:
- Drop 'max_iterations' from DELEGATE_TASK_SCHEMA['parameters']['properties'].
Models can no longer emit it.
- In delegate_task(): ignore any caller-supplied max_iterations, always use
delegation.max_iterations from config. Log at debug if a stale schema or
internal caller still passes one through.
- Keep the Python kwarg on the function signature for internal callers
(_build_child_agent tests pass it through the plumbing layer).
- Update test_schema_valid to assert the param is now absent (intentional
contract change, not a change-detector).
A test in tests/agent/test_credential_pool.py
(test_try_refresh_current_updates_only_current_entry) monkeypatched
refresh_codex_oauth_pure() to return the literal fixture strings
'access-new'/'refresh-new', then executed the real production code path
in agent/credential_pool.py::try_refresh_current which calls
_sync_device_code_entry_to_auth_store → _save_provider_state → writes
to `providers.openai-codex.tokens`. That writer resolves the target via
get_hermes_home()/auth.json. If the test ran with HERMES_HOME unset (direct
pytest invocation, IDE runner bypassing conftest discovery, or any other
sandbox escape), it would overwrite the real user's auth store with the
fixture strings.
Observed in the wild: Teknium's ~/.hermes/auth.json providers.openai-codex.tokens
held 'access-new'/'refresh-new' for five days. His CLI kept working because
the credential_pool entries still held real JWTs, but `hermes model`'s live
discovery path (which reads via resolve_codex_runtime_credentials →
_read_codex_tokens → providers.tokens) was silently 401-ing.
Fixes:
- Delete test_try_refresh_current_updates_only_current_entry. It was the
only test that exercised a writer hitting providers.openai-codex.tokens
with literal stub tokens. The entry-level rotation behavior it asserted
is still covered by test_mark_exhausted_and_rotate_persists_status above.
- Add a seat belt in hermes_cli.auth._auth_file_path(): if PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST
is set AND the resolved path equals the real ~/.hermes/auth.json, raise
with a clear message. In production (no PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST), a single
dict lookup. Any future test that forgets to monkeypatch HERMES_HOME
fails loudly instead of corrupting the user's credentials.
Validation:
- production (no PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST): returns real path, unchanged behavior
- pytest + HERMES_HOME unset (points at real home): raises with message
- pytest + HERMES_HOME=/tmp/...: returns tmp path, tests pass normally
Dashboard themes now control typography and layout, not just colors.
Each built-in theme picks its own fonts, base size, radius, and density
so switching produces visible changes beyond hue.
Schema additions (per theme):
- typography — fontSans, fontMono, fontDisplay, fontUrl, baseSize,
lineHeight, letterSpacing. fontUrl is injected as <link> on switch
so Google/Bunny/self-hosted stylesheets all work.
- layout — radius (any CSS length) and density
(compact | comfortable | spacious, multiplies Tailwind spacing).
- colorOverrides (optional) — pin individual shadcn tokens that would
otherwise derive from the palette.
Built-in themes are now distinct beyond palette:
- default — system stack, 15px, 0.5rem radius, comfortable
- midnight — Inter + JetBrains Mono, 14px, 0.75rem, comfortable
- ember — Spectral (serif) + IBM Plex Mono, 15px, 0.25rem
- mono — IBM Plex Sans + Mono, 13px, 0 radius, compact
- cyberpunk— Share Tech Mono everywhere, 14px, 0 radius, compact
- rose — Fraunces (serif) + DM Mono, 16px, 1rem, spacious
Also fixes two bugs:
1. Custom user themes silently fell back to default. ThemeProvider
only applied BUILTIN_THEMES[name], so YAML files in
~/.hermes/dashboard-themes/ showed in the picker but did nothing.
Server now ships the full normalised definition; client applies it.
2. Docs documented a 21-token flat colors schema that never matched
the code (applyPalette reads a 3-layer palette). Rewrote the
Themes section against the actual shape.
Implementation:
- web/src/themes/types.ts: extend DashboardTheme with typography,
layout, colorOverrides; ThemeListEntry carries optional definition.
- web/src/themes/presets.ts: 6 built-ins with distinct typography+layout.
- web/src/themes/context.tsx: applyTheme() writes palette+typography+
layout+overrides as CSS vars, injects fontUrl stylesheet, fixes the
fallback-to-default bug via resolveTheme(name).
- web/src/index.css: html/body/code read the new theme-font vars;
--radius-sm/md/lg/xl derive from --theme-radius; --spacing scales
with --theme-spacing-mul so Tailwind utilities shift with density.
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: _normalise_theme_definition() parses loose
YAML (bare hex strings, partial blocks) into the canonical wire
shape; /api/dashboard/themes ships full definitions for user themes.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py: 16 new tests covering the
normaliser and discovery (rejection cases, clamping, defaults).
- website/docs/user-guide/features/web-dashboard.md: rewrite Themes
section with real schema, per-model tables, full YAML example.
Commit 43de1ca8 removed the _nr_to_assistant_message shim in favor of
duck-typed properties on the ToolCall dataclass. However, the
extra_content property (which carries the Gemini thought_signature) was
omitted from the ToolCall definition. This caused _build_assistant_message
to silently drop the signature via getattr(tc, 'extra_content', None)
returning None, leading to HTTP 400 errors on subsequent turns for all
Gemini 3 thinking models.
Add the extra_content property to ToolCall (matching the existing
call_id and response_item_id pattern) so the thought_signature round-trips
correctly through the transport → agent loop → API replay path.
Credit to @celttechie for identifying the root cause and providing the fix.

- Self-review found and fixed 2 issues (redundant vision check, stale HuggingFace context length)
Replaces the blanket 'always allow' change from the previous commit with
an opt-in config flag so users who want belt-and-suspenders security can
still get the keyword scan on skill_manage output.
## Default behavior (flag off)
skill_manage(action='create'|'edit'|'patch') no longer runs the keyword
scanner. The agent can write skills that mention risky keywords in prose
(documenting what reviewers should watch for, describing cache-bust
semantics in a PR-review skill, referencing AGENTS.md, etc.) without
getting blocked.
Rationale: the agent can already execute the same code paths via
terminal() with no gate, so the scan adds friction without meaningful
security against a compromised or malicious agent.
## Opt-in behavior (flag on)
Set skills.guard_agent_created: true in config.yaml to get the original
behavior back. Scanner runs on every skill_manage write; dangerous
verdicts surface as a tool error the agent can react to (retry without
the flagged content).
## External hub installs unaffected
trusted/community sources (hermes skills install) always get scanned
regardless of this flag. The gate is specifically for skill_manage,
which only agents call.
## Changes
- hermes_cli/config.py: add skills.guard_agent_created: False to DEFAULT_CONFIG
- tools/skill_manager_tool.py: _guard_agent_created_enabled() reads the flag;
_security_scan_skill() short-circuits to None when the flag is off
- tools/skills_guard.py: restore INSTALL_POLICY['agent-created'] =
('allow', 'allow', 'ask') so the scan remains strict when it does run
- tests/tools/test_skills_guard.py: restore original ask/force tests
- tests/tools/test_skill_manager_tool.py: new TestSecurityScanGate class
covering both flag states + config error handling
## Validation
- tests/tools/test_skills_guard.py + test_skill_manager_tool.py: 115/115 pass
- E2E: flagged-keyword skill creates with default config, blocks with flag on
The security scanner is meant to protect against hostile external skills
pulled from GitHub via hermes skills install — trusted/community policies
block or ask on dangerous verdicts accordingly. But agent-created skills
(from skill_manage) run in the same process as the agent that wrote them.
The agent can already execute the same code paths via terminal() with no
gate, so the ask-on-dangerous policy adds friction without meaningful
security.
Concrete trigger: an agent writing a PR-review skill that describes
cache-busting or persistence semantics in prose gets blocked because
those words appear in the patterns list. The skill isn't actually doing
anything dangerous — it's just documenting what reviewers should watch
for in other PRs.
Change: agent-created dangerous verdict maps to 'allow' instead of 'ask'.
External hub installs (trusted/community) keep their stricter policies
intact. Tests updated: renamed test_dangerous_agent_created_asks →
test_dangerous_agent_created_allowed; renamed force-override test and
updated assertion since force is now a no-op for agent-created (the allow
branch returns first).
Before this, _process_message_background's finally did an unconditional
'del self._active_sessions[session_key]' — even if a /stop/ /new
command had already swapped in its own command_guard via
_dispatch_active_session_command and cancelled us. The old task's
unwind would clobber the newer guard, opening a race for follow-ups.
Replace with _release_session_guard(session_key, guard=interrupt_event)
so the delete only fires when the guard we captured is still the one
installed. The sibling _session_tasks pop already had equivalent
ownership matching via asyncio.current_task() identity; this closes the
asymmetry.
Adds two direct regressions in test_session_split_brain_11016:
- stale guard reference must not clobber a newer guard by identity
- guard=None default still releases unconditionally (for callers that
don't have a captured guard to match against)
Refs #11016
Covers all three layers of the salvaged fix:
1. Adapter-side cancellation: /stop, /new, /reset cancel the in-flight
adapter task, release the guard, and let follow-up messages through;
/new keeps the guard installed until the runner response lands, then
drains the queued follow-up in order.
2. Adapter-side self-heal: a split-brain guard (done owner task, lock
still live) is healed on the next inbound message and the user gets
a reply instead of being trapped in infinite busy acks. A guard
with no recorded owner task is NOT auto-healed (protects fixtures
that install guards directly).
3. Runner-side generation guard: stale async runs whose generation was
bumped by /stop or /new cannot clear a newer run's _running_agents
slot on the way out.
11 tests, all green.
Refs #11016
The environment-snapshot login shell was auto-sourcing only ~/.bashrc when
building the PATH snapshot. On Debian/Ubuntu the default ~/.bashrc starts
with a non-interactive short-circuit:
case $- in *i*) ;; *) return;; esac
Sourcing it from a non-interactive shell returns before any PATH export
below that guard runs. Node version managers like n and nvm append their
PATH line under that guard, so Hermes was capturing a PATH without
~/n/bin — and the terminal tool saw 'node: command not found' even when
node was on the user's interactive shell PATH.
Expand the auto-source list (when auto_source_bashrc is on) to:
~/.profile → ~/.bash_profile → ~/.bashrc
~/.profile and ~/.bash_profile have no interactivity guard — installers
that write their PATH there (n's n-install, nvm's curl installer on most
setups) take effect. ~/.bashrc still runs last to preserve behaviour for
users who put PATH logic there without the guard.
Added two tests covering the new behaviour plus an E2E test that spins up
a real LocalEnvironment with a guard-prefixed ~/.bashrc and a ~/.profile
PATH export, and verifies the captured snapshot PATH contains the profile
entry.
On fresh RHEL/Debian SSH sessions without linger, `systemctl --user
start hermes-gateway` fails with 'Failed to connect to bus: No medium
found' because /run/user/$UID/bus doesn't exist. Setup previously
showed a raw CalledProcessError and continued claiming success, so the
gateway never actually started.
systemd_start() and systemd_restart() now call _preflight_user_systemd()
for the user scope first:
- Bus socket already there → no-op (desktop / linger-enabled servers)
- Linger off → try loginctl enable-linger (works when polkit permits,
needs sudo otherwise), wait for socket
- Still unreachable → raise UserSystemdUnavailableError with a clean
remediation message pointing to sudo loginctl + hermes gateway run
as the foreground fallback
Setup's start/restart handlers and gateway_command() catch the new
exception and render the multi-line guidance instead of a traceback.
When a newly-bundled skill's name collides with a pre-existing user
skill, sync silently kept the user's copy. Users never learned that
a bundled version shipped by that name.
Now (on non-quiet sync only) print:
⚠ <name>: bundled version shipped but you already have a local
skill by this name — yours was kept. Run `hermes skills reset
<name>` to replace it with the bundled version.
No behavior change to manifest writes or to the kept user copy —
purely additive warning on the existing collision-skip path.
When a new bundled skill's name collided with a pre-existing user skill
(from hub, custom, or leftover), sync_skills() recorded the bundled hash
in the manifest even though the on-disk copy was unrelated to bundled.
On the next sync, user_hash != origin_hash (bundled_hash) marked the
skill as "user-modified" permanently, blocking all bundled updates for
that skill until the user ran `hermes skills reset`.
Fix: only baseline the manifest entry when the user's on-disk copy is
byte-identical to bundled (safe to track — this is the reset re-sync or
coincidentally-identical install case). Otherwise skip the manifest
write entirely: the on-disk skill is unrelated to bundled and shouldn't
be tracked as if it were.
This preserves reset_bundled_skill()'s re-baseline flow (its post-delete
sync still writes to the manifest when user copy matches bundled) while
fixing the poisoning scenario for genuinely unrelated collisions.
Adds two tests following the existing test_failed_copy_does_not_poison_manifest
pattern: one verifying the manifest stays clean after a collision with
differing content, one verifying no false user_modified flag on resync.
Multiple custom_providers entries sharing the same base_url + api_key
are now grouped into a single picker row. A local Ollama host with
per-model display names ("Ollama — GLM 5.1", "Ollama — Qwen3-coder",
"Ollama — Kimi K2", "Ollama — MiniMax M2.7") previously produced four
near-duplicate picker rows that differed only by suffix; now it appears
as one "Ollama" row with four models.
Key changes:
- Grouping key changed from slug-by-name to (base_url, api_key). Names
frequently differ per model while the endpoint stays the same.
- When the grouped endpoint matches current_base_url, the row's slug is
set to current_provider so picker-driven switches route through the
live credential pipeline (no re-resolution needed).
- Per-model suffix is stripped from the display name ("Ollama — X" →
"Ollama") via em-dash / " - " separators.
- Two groups with different api_keys at the same base_url (or otherwise
colliding on cleaned name) are disambiguated with a numeric suffix
(custom:openai, custom:openai-2) so both stay visible.
- current_base_url parameter plumbed through both gateway call sites.
Existing #8216, #11499, #13509 regressions covered (dict/list shapes
of models:, section-3/section-4 dedup, normalized list-format entries).
Salvaged from @davidvv's PR #9210 — the underlying code had diverged
~1400 commits since that PR was opened, so this is a reconstruction of
the same approach on current main rather than a clean cherry-pick.
Authorship preserved via --author on this commit.
Closes#9210
_normalize_custom_provider_entry silently drops the models field when it's
a list. Hand-edited configs (and the shape used by older Hermes versions)
still write models as a plain list of ids, so after the normalize pass the
entry reaches list_authenticated_providers() with no models and /model
shows the provider with (0) models — even though the underlying picker
code handles lists fine.
Convert list-format models into the empty-value dict shape the rest of
the pipeline already expects. Dict-format entries keep passing through
unchanged.
Repro (before the fix):
custom_providers:
- name: acme
base_url: https://api.example.com/v1
models: [foo, bar, baz]
/model shows "acme (0)"; bypassing normalize in list_authenticated_providers
returns three models, confirming the drop happens in normalize.
Adds four unit tests covering list→dict conversion, dict pass-through,
filtering of empty/non-string entries, and the empty-list case.
NormalizedResponse and ToolCall now have backward-compat properties
so the agent loop can read them directly without the shim:
ToolCall: .type, .function (returns self), .call_id, .response_item_id
NormalizedResponse: .reasoning_content, .reasoning_details,
.codex_reasoning_items
This eliminates the 35-line shim and its 4 call sites in run_agent.py.
Also changes flush_memories guard from hasattr(response, 'choices')
to self.api_mode in ('chat_completions', 'bedrock_converse') so it
works with raw boto3 dicts too.
WS1 items 3+4 of Cycle 2 (#14418).
3-layer chain (transport → v2 → v1) was collapsed to 2-layer in PR 7.
This collapses the remaining 2-layer (transport → v1 → NR mapping in
transport) to 1-layer: v1 now returns NormalizedResponse directly.
Before: adapter returns (SimpleNamespace, finish_reason) tuple,
transport unpacks and maps to NormalizedResponse (22 lines).
After: adapter returns NormalizedResponse, transport is a
1-line passthrough.
Also updates ToolCall construction — adapter now creates ToolCall
dataclass directly instead of SimpleNamespace(id, type, function).
WS1 item 1 of Cycle 2 (#14418).
- Replace hardcoded 'fr' default with DEFAULT_LOCAL_STT_LANGUAGE ('en')
— removes locale leak, matches other providers
- Drop redundant default=True on is_truthy_value (dict .get already defaults)
- Update auto-detect comment to include 'xai' in the chain
- Fix docstring: 21 languages (match PR body + actual xAI API)
- Update test_sends_language_and_format to set HERMES_LOCAL_STT_LANGUAGE=fr
explicitly, since default is no longer 'fr'
All 18 xAI STT tests pass locally.
* feat(agent): add PLATFORM_HINTS for matrix, mattermost, and feishu

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
Port from openai/codex#18646.
Adds two flags to 'hermes chat' that fully isolate a run from user-level
configuration and rules:
* --ignore-user-config: skip ~/.hermes/config.yaml and fall back to
built-in defaults. Credentials in .env are still loaded so the agent
can actually call a provider.
* --ignore-rules: skip auto-injection of AGENTS.md, SOUL.md,
.cursorrules, and persistent memory (maps to AIAgent(skip_context_files=True,
skip_memory=True)).
Primary use cases:
- Reproducible CI runs that should not pick up developer-local config
- Third-party integrations (e.g. Chronicle in Codex) that bring their
own config and don't want user preferences leaking in
- Bug-report reproduction without the reporter's personal overrides
- Debugging: bisect 'was it my config?' vs 'real bug' in one command
Both flags are registered on the parent parser AND the 'chat' subparser
(with argparse.SUPPRESS on the subparser to avoid overwriting the parent
value when the flag is placed before the subcommand, matching the
existing --yolo/--worktree/--pass-session-id pattern).
Env vars HERMES_IGNORE_USER_CONFIG=1 and HERMES_IGNORE_RULES=1 are set
by cmd_chat BEFORE 'from cli import main' runs, which is critical
because cli.py evaluates CLI_CONFIG = load_cli_config() at module import
time. The cli.py / hermes_cli.config.load_cli_config() function checks
the env var and skips ~/.hermes/config.yaml when set.
Tests: 11 new tests in tests/hermes_cli/test_ignore_user_config_flags.py
covering the env gate, constructor wiring, cmd_chat simulation, and
argparse flag registration. All pass; existing hermes_cli + cli suites
unaffected (3005 pass, 2 pre-existing unrelated failures).
Consolidate 4 per-transport lazy singleton helpers (_get_anthropic_transport,
_get_codex_transport, _get_chat_completions_transport, _get_bedrock_transport)
into one generic _get_transport(api_mode) with a shared dict cache.
Collapse the 65-line main normalize block (3 api_mode branches, each with
its own SimpleNamespace shim) into 7 lines: one _get_transport() call +
one _nr_to_assistant_message() shared shim. The shim extracts provider_data
fields (codex_reasoning_items, reasoning_details, call_id, response_item_id)
into the SimpleNamespace shape downstream code expects.
Wire chat_completions and bedrock_converse normalize through their transports
for the first time — these were previously falling into the raw
response.choices[0].message else branch.
Remove 8 dead codex adapter imports that have zero callers after PRs 1-6.
Transport lifecycle improvements:
- Eagerly warm transport cache at __init__ (surfaces import errors early)
- Invalidate transport cache on api_mode change (switch_model, fallback
activation, fallback restore, transport recovery) — prevents stale
transport after mid-session provider switch
run_agent.py: -32 net lines (11,988 -> 11,956).
PR 7 of the provider transport refactor.
Follow-up to the /resume and /branch cleanup in the previous commit:
/new is a conversation-boundary operation too, so session-scoped
dangerous-command approvals and /yolo state must not survive it.
Adds a scoped unit test for _clear_session_boundary_security_state that
also covers the /new path (which calls the same helper).
The Docker terminal backend runs containers with `--cap-drop ALL`
and re-adds only DAC_OVERRIDE, CHOWN, FOWNER. Since commit fee0e0d3
("run as non-root user, use virtualenv") the image entrypoint drops
from root to the `hermes` user via `gosu`, which requires CAP_SETUID
and CAP_SETGID. Without them every sandbox container exits
immediately with:
Dropping root privileges
error: failed switching to 'hermes': operation not permitted
Breaking every terminal/file tool invocation in `terminal.backend: docker`
mode.
Fix: add SETUID and SETGID to the cap-add list. The `no-new-privileges`
security-opt is kept, so gosu still cannot escalate back to root after
the one-way drop — the hardening posture is preserved.
Reproduction
------------
With any image whose ENTRYPOINT calls `gosu <user>`, the container
exits immediately under the pre-fix cap set. Post-fix, the drop
succeeds and the container proceeds normally.
docker run --rm \
--cap-drop ALL \
--cap-add DAC_OVERRIDE --cap-add CHOWN --cap-add FOWNER \
--security-opt no-new-privileges \
--entrypoint /usr/local/bin/gosu \
hermes-claude:latest hermes id
# -> error: failed switching to 'hermes': operation not permitted
# Same command with SETUID+SETGID added:
# -> uid=10000(hermes) gid=10000(hermes) groups=10000(hermes)
Tests
-----
Added `test_security_args_include_setuid_setgid_for_gosu_drop` that
asserts both caps are present and the overall hardening posture
(cap-drop ALL + no-new-privileges) is preserved.

Port from openclaw/openclaw#67318. Some open models (notably Gemma
variants served via OpenRouter) emit tool calls as XML blocks inside
assistant content instead of via the structured tool_calls field:
<function name="read_file"><parameter name="path">/tmp/x</parameter></function>
<tool_call>{"name":"x"}</tool_call>
<function_calls>[{...}]</function_calls>
Left unstripped, this raw XML leaked to gateway users (Discord, Telegram,
Matrix, Feishu, Signal, WhatsApp, etc.) and the CLI, since hermes-agent's
existing reasoning-tag stripper handled only <think>/<thinking>/<thought>
variants.
Extend _strip_think_blocks (run_agent.py) and _strip_reasoning_tags
(cli.py) to cover:
* <tool_call>, <tool_calls>, <tool_result>
* <function_call>, <function_calls>
* <function name="..."> ... </function> (Gemma-style)
The <function> variant is boundary-gated (only strips when the tag sits
at start-of-line or after sentence punctuation AND carries a name="..."
attribute) so prose mentions like 'Use <function> declarations in JS'
are preserved. Dangling <function name="..."> with no close is
intentionally left visible — matches OpenClaw's asymmetry so a truncated
streaming tail still reaches the user.
Tests: 9 new cases in TestStripThinkBlocks (run_agent) + 9 in new file
tests/run_agent/test_strip_reasoning_tags_cli.py. Covers Qwen-style
<tool_call>, Gemma-style <function name="...">, multi-line payloads,
prose preservation, stray close tags, dangling open tags, and mixed
reasoning+tool_call content.
Note: this port covers the post-streaming final-text path, which is what
gateway adapters and CLI display consume. Extending the per-delta stream
filter in gateway/stream_consumer.py to hide these tags live as they
stream is a separate follow-up; for now users may see raw XML briefly
during a stream before the final cleaned text replaces it.

Feishu's open_id is app-scoped (same user gets different open_ids per
bot app), not a canonical identity. Functionally correct for single-bot
mode but semantically misleading.
- Add comprehensive Feishu identity model documentation to module docstring
- Prefer user_id (tenant-scoped) over open_id (app-scoped) in
_resolve_sender_profile when both are available
- Document bot_open_id usage for @mention matching
- Update user_id_alt comment in SessionSource to be platform-generic
Ref: closes analysis from PR #8388 (closed as over-scoped)
Port from openclaw/openclaw#66664. The build_anthropic_kwargs call site
used 'max_tokens or _get_anthropic_max_output(model)', which correctly
falls back when max_tokens is 0 or None (falsy) but lets negative ints
(-1, -500), fractional floats (0.5, 8192.7), NaN, and infinity leak
through to the Anthropic API. Anthropic rejects these with HTTP 400
('max_tokens: must be greater than or equal to 1'), turning a local
config error into a surprise mid-conversation failure.
Add two resolver helpers matching OpenClaw's:
_resolve_positive_anthropic_max_tokens — returns int(value) only if
value is a finite positive number; excludes bools, strings, NaN,
infinity, sub-one positives (floor to 0).
_resolve_anthropic_messages_max_tokens — prefers a positive requested
value, else falls back to the model's output ceiling; raises
ValueError only if no positive budget can be resolved.
The context-window clamp at the call site (max_tokens > context_length)
is preserved unchanged — it handles oversized values; the new resolver
handles non-positive values. These concerns are now cleanly separated.
Tests: 17 new cases covering positive/zero/negative ints, fractional
floats (both >1 and <1), NaN, infinity, booleans, strings, None, and
integration via build_anthropic_kwargs.
Refs: openclaw/openclaw#66664
Follow-up on helix4u's PR #14211:
- Flip default to true: narrowing toolsets=['web','browser'] expresses
'I want these extras', not 'silently strip MCP'. Parent MCP tools
(registered at runtime) should survive narrowing by default.
- Drop _config_version bump (22->23); additive nested key under
delegation.* is handled by _deep_merge, no migration needed.
- Update tests to reflect new default behavior.
Mid-stream SSL alerts (bad_record_mac, tls_alert_internal_error, handshake
failures) previously fell through the classifier pipeline to the 'unknown'
bucket because:
- ssl.SSLError type names weren't in _TRANSPORT_ERROR_TYPES (the
isinstance(OSError) catch picks up some but not all SDK-wrapped forms)
- the message-pattern list had no SSL alert substrings
The 'unknown' bucket is still retryable, but: (a) logs tell the user
'unknown' instead of identifying the cause, (b) it bypasses the
transport-specific backoff/fallback logic, and (c) if the SSL error
happens on a large session with a generic 'connection closed' wrapper,
the existing disconnect-on-large-session heuristic would incorrectly
trigger context compression — expensive, and never fixes a transport
hiccup.
Changes:
- Add ssl.SSLError and its subclass type names to _TRANSPORT_ERROR_TYPES
- New _SSL_TRANSIENT_PATTERNS list (separate from _SERVER_DISCONNECT_PATTERNS
so SSL alerts route to timeout, not context_overflow+compress)
- New step 5 in the classifier pipeline: SSL pattern check runs BEFORE
the disconnect check to pre-empt the large-session-compress path
Patterns cover both space-separated ('ssl alert', 'bad record mac')
and underscore-separated ('ERR_SSL_SSL/TLS_ALERT_BAD_RECORD_MAC')
forms. This is load-bearing because OpenSSL 3.x changed the error-code
separator from underscore to slash (e.g. SSLV3_ALERT_BAD_RECORD_MAC →
SSL/TLS_ALERT_BAD_RECORD_MAC) and will likely churn again — matching on
stable alert reason substrings survives future format changes.
Tests (8 new):
- BAD_RECORD_MAC in Python ssl.c format
- OpenSSL 3.x underscore format
- TLSV1_ALERT_INTERNAL_ERROR
- ssl handshake failure
- [SSL: ...] prefix fallback
- Real ssl.SSLError instance
- REGRESSION GUARD: SSL on large session does NOT compress
- REGRESSION GUARD: plain disconnect on large session STILL compresses
Port from cline/cline#10266.
When OpenAI-compatible proxies (OpenRouter, Vercel AI Gateway, Cline)
route Claude models, they sometimes surface the Anthropic-native cache
counters (`cache_read_input_tokens`, `cache_creation_input_tokens`) at
the top level of the `usage` object instead of nesting them inside
`prompt_tokens_details`. Our chat-completions branch of
`normalize_usage()` only read the nested `prompt_tokens_details` fields,
so those responses:
- reported `cache_write_tokens = 0` even when the model actually did a
prompt-cache write,
- reported only some of the cache-read tokens when the proxy exposed them
top-level only,
- overstated `input_tokens` by the missed cache-write amount, which in
turn made cost estimation and the status-bar cache-hit percentage wrong
for Claude traffic going through these gateways.
Now the chat-completions branch tries the OpenAI-standard
`prompt_tokens_details` first and falls back to the top-level
Anthropic-shape fields only if the nested values are absent/zero. The
Anthropic and Codex Responses branches are unchanged.
Regression guards added for three shapes: top-level write + nested read,
top-level-only, and both-present (nested wins).
New and newer models from models.dev now surface automatically in
/model (both hermes model CLI and the gateway Telegram/Discord picker)
for a curated set of secondary providers — no Hermes release required
when the registry publishes a new model.
Primary user-visible fix: on OpenCode Go, typing '/model mimo-v2.5-pro'
no longer silently fuzzy-corrects to 'mimo-v2-pro'. The exact match
against the merged models.dev catalog wins.
Scope (opt-in frozenset _MODELS_DEV_PREFERRED in hermes_cli/models.py):
opencode-go, opencode-zen, deepseek, kilocode, fireworks, mistral,
togetherai, cohere, perplexity, groq, nvidia, huggingface, zai,
gemini, google.
Explicitly NOT merged:
- openrouter and nous (never): curated list is already a hand-picked
subset / Portal is source of truth.
- xai, xiaomi, minimax, minimax-cn, kimi-coding, kimi-coding-cn,
alibaba, qwen-oauth (per-project decision to keep curated-only).
- providers with dedicated live-endpoint paths (copilot, anthropic,
ai-gateway, ollama-cloud, custom, stepfun, openai-codex) — those
paths already handle freshness themselves.
Changes:
- hermes_cli/models.py: add _MODELS_DEV_PREFERRED + _merge_with_models_dev
helper. provider_model_ids() branches on the set at its curated-fallback
return. Merge is models.dev-first, curated-only extras appended,
case-insensitive dedup, graceful fallback when models.dev is offline.
- hermes_cli/model_switch.py: list_authenticated_providers() calls the
same merge in both its code paths (PROVIDER_TO_MODELS_DEV loop +
HERMES_OVERLAYS loop). Picker AND validation-fallback both see
fresh entries.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_models_dev_preferred_merge.py (new): 13 tests —
merge-helper unit tests (empty/raise/order/dedup), opencode-go/zen
behavior, openrouter+nous explicitly guarded from merge.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_opencode_go_in_model_list.py: converted from
snapshot-style assertion to a behavior-based floor check, so it
doesn't break when models.dev publishes additional opencode-go
entries.
Addresses a report from @pfanis via Telegram: newer Xiaomi variants
on OpenCode Go weren't appearing in the /model picker, and /model
was silently routing requests for new variants to older ones.
Follow-up for salvaged PR #14179.
`_cleanup_invalid_pid_path` previously called `remove_pid_file()` for the
default PID path, but that helper defensively refuses to delete a PID file
whose pid field differs from `os.getpid()` (to protect --replace handoffs).
Every realistic stale-PID scenario is exactly that case: a crashed/Ctrl+C'd
gateway left behind a PID file owned by a now-dead foreign PID.
Once `get_running_pid()` has confirmed the runtime lock is inactive, the
on-disk metadata is known to belong to a dead process, so we can force-unlink
both the PID file and the sibling `gateway.lock` directly instead of going
through the defensive helper.
Also adds a regression test with a dead foreign PID that would have failed
against the previous cleanup logic.
Plugin slash commands now surface as first-class commands in every gateway
enumerator — Discord native slash picker, Telegram BotCommand menu, Slack
/hermes subcommand map — without a separate per-platform plugin API.
The existing 'command:<name>' gateway hook gains a decision protocol via
HookRegistry.emit_collect(): handlers that return a dict with
{'decision': 'deny'|'handled'|'rewrite'|'allow'} can intercept slash
command dispatch before core handling runs, unifying what would otherwise
have been a parallel 'pre_gateway_command' hook surface.
Changes:
- gateway/hooks.py: add HookRegistry.emit_collect() that fires the same
handler set as emit() but collects non-None return values. Backward
compatible — fire-and-forget telemetry hooks still work via emit().
- hermes_cli/plugins.py: add optional 'args_hint' param to
register_command() so plugins can opt into argument-aware native UI
registration (Discord arg picker, future platforms).
- hermes_cli/commands.py: add _iter_plugin_command_entries() helper and
merge plugin commands into telegram_bot_commands() and
slack_subcommand_map(). New is_gateway_known_command() recognizes both
built-in and plugin commands so the gateway hook fires for either.
- gateway/platforms/discord.py: extract _build_auto_slash_command helper
from the COMMAND_REGISTRY auto-register loop and reuse it for
plugin-registered commands. Built-in name conflicts are skipped.
- gateway/run.py: before normal slash dispatch, call emit_collect on
command:<canonical> and honor deny/handled/rewrite/allow decisions.
Hook now fires for plugin commands too.
- scripts/release.py: AUTHOR_MAP entry for @Magaav.
- Tests: emit_collect semantics, plugin command surfacing per platform,
decision protocol (deny/handled/rewrite/allow + non-dict tolerance),
Discord plugin auto-registration + conflict skipping, is_gateway_known_command.
Salvaged from #14131 (@Magaav). Original PR added a parallel
'pre_gateway_command' hook and a platform-keyed plugin command
registry; this re-implementation reuses the existing 'command:<name>'
hook and treats plugin commands as platform-agnostic so the same
capability reaches Telegram and Slack without new API surface.

`is_local_endpoint()` leaned on `ipaddress.is_private`, which classifies
RFC-1918 ranges and link-local as private but deliberately excludes the
RFC 6598 CGNAT block (100.64.0.0/10) — the range Tailscale uses for its
mesh IPs. As a result, Ollama reached over Tailscale (e.g.
`http://100.77.243.5:11434`) was treated as remote and missed the
automatic stream-read / stale-stream timeout bumps, so cold model load
plus long prefill would trip the 300 s watchdog before the first token.
Add a module-level `_TAILSCALE_CGNAT = ipaddress.IPv4Network("100.64.0.0/10")`
(built once) and extend `is_local_endpoint()` to match the block both
via the parsed-`IPv4Address` path and the existing bare-string fallback
(for symmetry with the 10/172/192 checks). Also hoist the previously
function-local `import ipaddress` to module scope now that it's used by
the constant.
Extend `TestIsLocalEndpoint` with a CGNAT positive set (lower bound,
representative host, MagicDNS anchor, upper bound) and a near-miss
negative set (just below 100.64.0.0, just above 100.127.255.255, well
outside the block, and first-octet-wrong).
Resolve Feishu @_user_N / @_all placeholders into display names plus a
structured [Mentioned: Name (open_id=...), ...] hint so agents can both
reason about who was mentioned and call Feishu OpenAPI tools with stable
open_ids. Strip bot self-mentions only at message edges (leading
unconditionally, trailing only before whitespace/terminal punctuation)
so commands parse cleanly while mid-text references are preserved.
Covers both plain-text and rich-post payloads.
Also fixes a pre-existing hydration bug: Client.request no longer accepts
the 'method' kwarg on lark-oapi 1.5.3, so bot identity silently failed
to hydrate and self-filtering never worked. Migrate to the
BaseRequest.builder() pattern and accept the 'app_name' field the API
actually returns. Tighten identity matching precedence so open_id is
authoritative when present on both sides.
Adds security.allow_private_urls / HERMES_ALLOW_PRIVATE_URLS toggle so
users on OpenWrt routers, TUN-mode proxies (Clash/Mihomo/Sing-box),
corporate split-tunnel VPNs, and Tailscale networks — where DNS resolves
public domains to 198.18.0.0/15 or 100.64.0.0/10 — can use web_extract,
browser, vision URL fetching, and gateway media downloads.
Single toggle in tools/url_safety.py; all 23 is_safe_url() call sites
inherit automatically. Cached for process lifetime.
Cloud metadata endpoints stay ALWAYS blocked regardless of the toggle:
169.254.169.254 (AWS/GCP/Azure/DO/Oracle), 169.254.170.2 (AWS ECS task
IAM creds), 169.254.169.253 (Azure IMDS wire server), 100.100.100.200
(Alibaba), fd00:ec2::254 (AWS IPv6), the entire 169.254.0.0/16
link-local range, and the metadata.google.internal / metadata.goog
hostnames (checked pre-DNS so they can't be bypassed on networks where
those names resolve to local IPs).
Supersedes #3779 (narrower HERMES_ALLOW_RFC2544 for the same class of
users).

Anthropic's API can legitimately return content=[] with stop_reason="end_turn"
when the model has nothing more to add after a turn that already delivered the
user-facing text alongside a trivial tool call (e.g. memory write). The transport
validator was treating that as an invalid response, triggering 3 retries that
each returned the same valid-but-empty response, then failing the run with
"Invalid API response after 3 retries."
The downstream normalizer already handles empty content correctly (empty loop
over response.content, content=None, finish_reason="stop"), so the only fix
needed is at the validator boundary.
Tests:
- Empty content + stop_reason="end_turn" → valid (the fix)
- Empty content + stop_reason="tool_use" → still invalid (regression guard)
- Empty content without stop_reason → still invalid (existing behavior preserved)
When the streaming connection dropped AFTER user-visible text was
delivered but a tool call was in flight, we stubbed the turn with a
'⚠ Stream stalled mid tool-call; Ask me to retry' warning — costing
an iteration and breaking the flow. Users report this happening
increasingly often on long SSE streams through flaky provider routes.
Fix: in the existing inner stream-retry loop, relax the
deltas_were_sent short-circuit. If a tool call was in flight
(partial_tool_names populated) AND the error is a transient connection
error (timeout, RemoteProtocolError, SSE 'connection lost', etc.),
silently retry instead of bailing out. Fire a brief 'Connection
dropped mid tool-call; reconnecting…' marker so the user understands
the preamble is about to be re-streamed.
Researched how Claude Code (tombstone + non-streaming fallback),
OpenCode (blind Effect.retry wrapping whole stream), and Clawdbot
(4-way gate: stopReason==error + output==0 + !hadPotentialSideEffects)
handle this. Chose the narrow Clawdbot-style gate: retry only when
(a) a tool call was actually in flight (otherwise the existing
stub-with-recovered-text is correct for pure-text stalls) and
(b) the error is transient. Side-effect safety is automatic — no
tool has been dispatched within this single API call yet.
UX trade-off: user sees preamble text twice on retry (OpenCode-style).
Strictly better than a lost action with a 'retry manually' message.
If retries exhaust, falls through to the existing stub-with-warning
path so the user isn't left with zero signal.
Tests: 3 new tests in TestSilentRetryMidToolCall covering
(1) silent retry recovers tool call; (2) exhausted retries fall back
to stub; (3) text-only stalls don't trigger retry. 30/30 pass.
Copilot on #14138 flagged that the share report says '(file not found)'
when the log exists but is empty (either because the primary is empty
and no .1 rotation exists, or in the rare race where the file is
truncated between _resolve_log_path() and stat()).
- Split _primary_log_path() out of _resolve_log_path so both can share
the LOG_FILES/home math without duplication.
- _capture_log_snapshot now reports '(file empty)' when the primary
path exists on disk with zero bytes, and keeps '(file not found)'
for the truly-missing case.
Tests: rename test_returns_none_for_empty → test_empty_primary_reports_file_empty
with the new assertion, plus a race-path test that monkeypatches
_resolve_log_path to exercise the size==0 branch directly.
- normalizeStatusBar: trim/lowercase + 'on' → 'top' alias so user-edited
YAML variants (Top, " bottom ", on) coerce correctly
- shift-tab yolo: no-op with sys note when no live session; success-gated
echo and catch fallback so RPC failures don't report as 'yolo off'
- tui_gateway config.set/get statusbar: isinstance(display, dict) guards
mirroring the compact branch so a malformed display scalar in config.yaml
can't raise
Tests: +1 vitest for trim/case/on, +2 pytest for non-dict display survival.
Drop rebased test assumptions about theme-mode helpers removed on main and keep the status bar skin integration aligned with the current skin engine model.
Route prompt_toolkit status bar colors through the skin engine so /skin updates the status bar alongside the rest of the interactive TUI.
Add regression coverage for the new status bar style override keys and CLI style composition.
These thin wrappers around _capture_log_snapshot had zero production
callers after the snapshot refactor — run_debug_share uses snapshots
directly and collect_debug_report captures internally. The wrappers
also caused a performance regression: _read_log_tail read up to 512KB
and built full_text just to return tail_text.
Remove both wrappers and migrate TestReadFullLog → TestCaptureLogSnapshot
to test _capture_log_snapshot directly. Same coverage, tests the real
API instead of dead indirection.
Add missing AUTHOR_MAP entry for taosiyuan163 whose truncation boundary
fix was adapted into _capture_log_snapshot().
Add regression tests proving: line-boundary truncation keeps the full
first line, mid-line truncation correctly drops the partial fragment.
Adds _reactions_enabled() gating to match Discord (DISCORD_REACTIONS) and
Telegram (TELEGRAM_REACTIONS) pattern. Defaults to true to preserve existing
behavior. Gates at three levels:
- _handle_slack_message: skips _reacting_message_ids registration
- on_processing_start: early return
- on_processing_complete: early return
Also adds config.yaml bridge (slack.reactions) and two new tests.
Slack reactions were placed around handle_message(), which returns
immediately after spawning a background task. This caused the 👀
→ ✅ swap to happen before any real work began.
Fix: implement on_processing_start / on_processing_complete callbacks
(matching Discord/Telegram) so reactions bracket actual _message_handler
work driven by the base class.
Also fixes missing stop_typing() for Slack's assistant thread status
indicator, which left 'is thinking...' stuck in the UI after processing
completed.
- Add _reacting_message_ids set for DM/@mention-only gating
- Add _active_status_threads dict for stop_typing lookup
- Update test_reactions_in_message_flow for new callback pattern
- Add test_reactions_failure_outcome and test_reactions_skipped_for_non_dm_non_mention
The 404 branch in _classify_by_status had dead code: the generic
fallback below the _MODEL_NOT_FOUND_PATTERNS check returned the
exact same classification (model_not_found + should_fallback=True),
so every 404 — regardless of message — was treated as a missing model.
This bites local-endpoint users (llama.cpp, Ollama, vLLM) whose 404s
usually mean a wrong endpoint path, proxy routing glitch, or transient
backend issue — not a missing model. Claiming 'model not found' misleads
the next turn and silently falls back to another provider when the real
problem was a URL typo the user should see.
Fix: only classify 404 as model_not_found when the message actually
matches _MODEL_NOT_FOUND_PATTERNS ("invalid model", "model not found",
etc.). Otherwise fall through as unknown (retryable) so the real error
surfaces in the retry loop.
Test updated to match the new behavior. 103 error_classifier tests pass.
* fix(plugins): auto-coerce user-installed memory plugins to kind=exclusive
User-installed memory provider plugins at $HERMES_HOME/plugins/<name>/
were being dispatched to the general PluginManager, which has no
register_memory_provider method on PluginContext. Every startup logged:
Failed to load plugin 'mempalace': 'PluginContext' object has no
attribute 'register_memory_provider'
Bundled memory providers were already skipped via skip_names={memory,
context_engine} in discover_and_load, but user-installed ones weren't.
Fix: _parse_manifest now scans the plugin's __init__.py source for
'register_memory_provider' or 'MemoryProvider' (same heuristic as
plugins/memory/__init__.py:_is_memory_provider_dir) and auto-coerces
kind to 'exclusive' when the manifest didn't declare one explicitly.
This routes the plugin to plugins/memory discovery instead of the
general loader.
The escape hatch: if a manifest explicitly declares kind: standalone,
the heuristic doesn't override it.
Reported by Uncle HODL on Discord.
* fix(nous): actionable CLI message when Nous 401 refresh fails
Mirrors the Anthropic 401 diagnostic pattern. When Nous returns 401
and the credential refresh (_try_refresh_nous_client_credentials)
also fails, the user used to see only the raw APIError. Now prints:
🔐 Nous 401 — Portal authentication failed.
Response: <truncated body>
Most likely: Portal OAuth expired, account out of credits, or
agent key revoked.
Troubleshooting:
• Re-authenticate: hermes login --provider nous
• Check credits / billing: https://portal.nousresearch.com
• Verify stored credentials: $HERMES_HOME/auth.json
• Switch providers temporarily: /model <model> --provider openrouter
Addresses the common 'my hermes model hangs' pattern where the user's
Portal OAuth expired and the CLI gave no hint about the next step.
Adds schema v7 'api_call_count' column. run_agent.py increments it by 1
per LLM API call, web_server analytics SQL aggregates it, frontend uses
the real counter instead of summing sessions.
The 'API Calls' card on the analytics dashboard previously displayed
COUNT(*) from the sessions table — the number of conversations, not
LLM requests. Each session makes 10-90 API calls through the tool loop,
so the reported number was ~30x lower than real.
Salvaged from PR #10140 (@kshitijk4poor). The cache-token accuracy
portions of the original PR were deferred — per-provider analytics is
the better path there, since cache_write_tokens and actual_cost_usd
are only reliably available from a subset of providers (Anthropic
native, Codex Responses, OpenRouter with usage.include).
Tests:
- schema_version v7 assertion
- migration v2 -> v7 adds api_call_count column with default 0
- update_token_counts increments api_call_count by provided delta
- absolute=True sets api_call_count directly
- /api/analytics/usage exposes total_api_calls in totals
- 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(state): auto-prune old sessions + VACUUM state.db at startup
state.db accumulates every session, message, and FTS5 index entry forever.
A heavy user (gateway + cron) reported 384MB with 982 sessions / 68K messages
causing slowdown; manual 'hermes sessions prune --older-than 7' + VACUUM
brought it to 43MB. The prune command and VACUUM are not wired to run
automatically anywhere — sessions grew unbounded until users noticed.
Changes:
- hermes_state.py: new state_meta key/value table, vacuum() method, and
maybe_auto_prune_and_vacuum() — idempotent via last-run timestamp in
state_meta so it only actually executes once per min_interval_hours
across all Hermes processes for a given HERMES_HOME. Never raises.
- hermes_cli/config.py: new 'sessions:' block in DEFAULT_CONFIG
(auto_prune=True, retention_days=90, vacuum_after_prune=True,
min_interval_hours=24). Added to _KNOWN_ROOT_KEYS.
- cli.py: call maintenance once at HermesCLI init (shared helper
_run_state_db_auto_maintenance reads config and delegates to DB).
- gateway/run.py: call maintenance once at GatewayRunner init.
- Docs: user-guide/sessions.md rewrites 'Automatic Cleanup' section.
Why VACUUM matters: SQLite does NOT shrink the file on DELETE — freed
pages get reused on next INSERT. Without VACUUM, a delete-heavy DB stays
bloated forever. VACUUM only runs when the prune actually removed rows,
so tight DBs don't pay the I/O cost.
Tests: 10 new tests in tests/test_hermes_state.py covering state_meta,
vacuum, idempotency, interval skipping, VACUUM-only-when-needed,
corrupt-marker recovery. All 246 existing state/config/gateway tests
still pass.
Verified E2E with real imports + isolated HERMES_HOME: DEFAULT_CONFIG
exposes the new block, load_config() returns it for fresh installs,
first call prunes+vacuums, second call within min_interval_hours skips,
and the state_meta marker persists across connection close/reopen.
* sessions.auto_prune defaults to false (opt-in)
Session history powers session_search recall across past conversations,
so silently pruning on startup could surprise users. Ship the machinery
disabled and let users opt in when they notice state.db is hurting
performance.
- DEFAULT_CONFIG.sessions.auto_prune: True → False
- Call-site fallbacks in cli.py and gateway/run.py match the new default
(so unmigrated configs still see off)
- Docs: flip 'Enable in config.yaml' framing + tip explains the tradeoff
Adds a first-class 'stepfun' API-key provider surfaced as Step Plan:
- Support Step Plan setup for both International and China regions
- Discover Step Plan models live from /step_plan/v1/models, with a
small coding-focused fallback catalog when discovery is unavailable
- Thread StepFun through provider metadata, setup persistence, status
and doctor output, auxiliary routing, and model normalization
- Add tests for provider resolution, model validation, metadata
mapping, and StepFun region/model persistence

* 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().
Kimi's /coding endpoint speaks the Anthropic Messages protocol but has
its own thinking semantics: when thinking.enabled is sent, Kimi validates
the history and requires every prior assistant tool-call message to carry
OpenAI-style reasoning_content. The Anthropic path never populates that
field, and convert_messages_to_anthropic strips Anthropic thinking blocks
on third-party endpoints — so after one tool-calling turn the next request
fails with:
HTTP 400: thinking is enabled but reasoning_content is missing in
assistant tool call message at index N
Kimi on chat_completions handles thinking via extra_body in
ChatCompletionsTransport (#13503). On the Anthropic route, drop the
parameter entirely and let Kimi drive reasoning server-side.
build_anthropic_kwargs now gates the reasoning_config -> thinking block
on not _is_kimi_coding_endpoint(base_url).
Tests: 8 new parametric tests cover /coding, /coding/v1, /coding/anthropic,
/coding/ (trailing slash), explicit disabled, other third-party endpoints
still getting thinking (MiniMax), native Anthropic unaffected, and the
non-/coding Kimi root route.
Fourth and final transport — completes the transport layer with all four
api_modes covered. Wraps agent/bedrock_adapter.py behind the ProviderTransport
ABC, handles both raw boto3 dicts and already-normalized SimpleNamespace.
Wires all transport methods to production paths in run_agent.py:
- build_kwargs: _build_api_kwargs bedrock branch
- validate_response: response validation, new bedrock_converse branch
- finish_reason: new bedrock_converse branch in finish_reason extraction
Based on PR #13467 by @kshitijk4poor, with one adjustment: the main normalize
loop does NOT add a bedrock_converse branch to invoke normalize_response on
the already-normalized response. Bedrock's normalize_converse_response runs
at the dispatch site (run_agent.py:5189), so the response already has the
OpenAI-compatible .choices[0].message shape by the time the main loop sees
it. Falling through to the chat_completions else branch is correct and
sidesteps a redundant NormalizedResponse rebuild.
Transport coverage — complete:
| api_mode | Transport | build_kwargs | normalize | validate |
|--------------------|--------------------------|:------------:|:---------:|:--------:|
| anthropic_messages | AnthropicTransport | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| codex_responses | ResponsesApiTransport | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| chat_completions | ChatCompletionsTransport | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| bedrock_converse | BedrockTransport | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
17 new BedrockTransport tests pass. 117 transport tests total pass.
160 bedrock/converse tests across tests/agent/ pass. Full tests/run_agent/
targeted suite passes (885/885 + 15 skipped; the 1 remaining failure is the
pre-existing test_concurrent_interrupt flake on origin/main).
Third concrete transport — handles the default 'chat_completions' api_mode used
by ~16 OpenAI-compatible providers (OpenRouter, Nous, NVIDIA, Qwen, Ollama,
DeepSeek, xAI, Kimi, custom, etc.). Wires build_kwargs + validate_response to
production paths.
Based on PR #13447 by @kshitijk4poor, with fixes:
- Preserve tool_call.extra_content (Gemini thought_signature) via
ToolCall.provider_data — the original shim stripped it, causing 400 errors
on multi-turn Gemini 3 thinking requests.
- Preserve reasoning_content distinctly from reasoning (DeepSeek/Moonshot) so
the thinking-prefill retry check (_has_structured) still triggers.
- Port Kimi/Moonshot quirks (32000 max_tokens, top-level reasoning_effort,
extra_body.thinking) that landed on main after the original PR was opened.
- Keep _qwen_prepare_chat_messages_inplace alive and call it through the
transport when sanitization already deepcopied (avoids a second deepcopy).
- Skip the back-compat SimpleNamespace shim in the main normalize loop — for
chat_completions, response.choices[0].message is already the right shape
with .content/.tool_calls/.reasoning/.reasoning_content/.reasoning_details
and per-tool-call .extra_content from the OpenAI SDK.
run_agent.py: -239 lines in _build_api_kwargs default branch extracted to the
transport. build_kwargs now owns: codex-field sanitization, Qwen portal prep,
developer role swap, provider preferences, max_tokens resolution (ephemeral >
user > NVIDIA 16384 > Qwen 65536 > Kimi 32000 > anthropic_max_output), Kimi
reasoning_effort + extra_body.thinking, OpenRouter/Nous/GitHub reasoning,
Nous product attribution tags, Ollama num_ctx, custom-provider think=false,
Qwen vl_high_resolution_images, request_overrides.
39 new transport tests (8 build_kwargs, 5 Kimi, 4 validate, 4 normalize
including extra_content regression, 3 cache stats, 3 basic). Tests/run_agent/
targeted suite passes (885/885 + 15 skipped; the 1 remaining failure is the
test_concurrent_interrupt flake present on origin/main).
Wire the auxiliary client (compaction, vision, session search, web extract)
to the Nous Portal's curated recommended-models endpoint when running on
Nous Portal, with a TTL-cached fetch that mirrors how we pull /models for
pricing.
hermes_cli/models.py
- fetch_nous_recommended_models(portal_base_url, force_refresh=False)
10-minute TTL cache, keyed per portal URL (staging vs prod don't
collide). Public endpoint, no auth required. Returns {} on any
failure so callers always get a dict.
- get_nous_recommended_aux_model(vision, free_tier=None, ...)
Tier-aware pick from the payload:
- Paid tier → paidRecommended{Vision,Compaction}Model, falling back
to freeRecommended* when the paid field is null (common during
staged rollouts of new paid models).
- Free tier → freeRecommended* only, never leaks paid models.
When free_tier is None, auto-detects via the existing
check_nous_free_tier() helper (already cached 3 min against
/api/oauth/account). Detection errors default to paid so we never
silently downgrade a paying user.
agent/auxiliary_client.py — _try_nous()
- Replaces the hardcoded xiaomi/mimo free-tier branch with a single call
to get_nous_recommended_aux_model(vision=vision).
- Falls back to _NOUS_MODEL (google/gemini-3-flash-preview) when the
Portal is unreachable or returns a null recommendation.
- The Portal is now the source of truth for aux model selection; the
xiaomi allowlist we used to carry is effectively dead.
Tests (15 new)
- tests/hermes_cli/test_models.py::TestNousRecommendedModels
Fetch caching, per-portal keying, network failure, force_refresh;
paid-prefers-paid, paid-falls-to-free, free-never-leaks-paid,
auto-detect, detection-error → paid default, null/blank modelName
handling.
- tests/agent/test_auxiliary_client.py::TestNousAuxiliaryRefresh
_try_nous honors Portal recommendation for text + vision, falls
back to google/gemini-3-flash-preview on None or exception.
Behavior won't visibly change today — both tier recommendations currently
point at google/gemini-3-flash-preview — but the moment the Portal ships
a better paid recommendation, subscribers pick it up within 10 minutes
without a Hermes release.
Drop _NOUS_ALLOWED_FREE_MODELS + filter_nous_free_models and its two call
sites. Whatever Nous Portal prices as free now shows up in the picker as-is
— no local allowlist gatekeeping. Free-tier partitioning (paid vs free in
the menu) still runs via partition_nous_models_by_tier.
Add ResponsesApiTransport wrapping codex_responses_adapter.py behind the
ProviderTransport ABC. Auto-registered via _discover_transports().
Wire ALL Codex transport methods to production paths in run_agent.py:
- build_kwargs: main _build_api_kwargs codex branch (50 lines extracted)
- normalize_response: main loop + flush + summary + retry (4 sites)
- convert_tools: memory flush tool override
- convert_messages: called internally via build_kwargs
- validate_response: response validation gate
- preflight_kwargs: request sanitization (2 sites)
Remove 7 dead legacy wrappers from AIAgent (_responses_tools,
_chat_messages_to_responses_input, _normalize_codex_response,
_preflight_codex_api_kwargs, _preflight_codex_input_items,
_extract_responses_message_text, _extract_responses_reasoning_text).
Keep 3 ID manipulation methods still used by _build_assistant_message.
Update 18 test call sites across 3 test files to call adapter functions
directly instead of through deleted AIAgent wrappers.
24 new tests. 343 codex/responses/transport tests pass (0 failures).
PR 4 of the provider transport refactor.
Follow-ups after salvaging xiaoqiang243's kimi-for-coding patches:
- KIMI_CODE_BASE_URL: drop trailing /v1 (was /coding/v1).
The /coding endpoint speaks Anthropic Messages, and the Anthropic SDK
appends /v1/messages internally. /coding/v1 + SDK suffix produced
/coding/v1/v1/messages (a 404). /coding + SDK suffix now yields
/coding/v1/messages correctly.
- kimi-coding ProviderConfig: keep legacy default api.moonshot.ai/v1 so
non-sk-kimi- moonshot keys still authenticate. sk-kimi- keys are
already redirected to api.kimi.com/coding via _resolve_kimi_base_url.
- doctor.py: update Kimi UA to claude-code/0.1.0 (was KimiCLI/1.30.0)
and rewrite /coding base URLs to /coding/v1 for the /models health
check (Anthropic surface has no /models).
- test_kimi_env_vars: accept KIMI_CODING_API_KEY as a secondary env var.
E2E verified:
sk-kimi-<key> → https://api.kimi.com/coding/v1/messages (Anthropic)
sk-<legacy> → https://api.moonshot.ai/v1/chat/completions (OpenAI)
UA: claude-code/0.1.0, x-api-key: <sk-kimi-*>
The CLI has no attachment channel — MEDIA:<path> tags are only
intercepted on messaging gateway platforms (Telegram, Discord,
Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, BlueBubbles, email, etc.). On the CLI
they render as literal text, which is confusing for users.
The CLI platform hint was the one PLATFORM_HINTS entry that said
nothing about file delivery, so models trained on the messaging
hints would default to MEDIA: tags on the CLI too. Tool schemas
(browser_tool, tts_tool, etc.) also recommend MEDIA: generically.
Extend the CLI hint to explicitly discourage MEDIA: tags and tell
the agent to reference files by plain absolute path instead.
Add a regression test asserting the CLI hint carries negative
guidance about MEDIA: while messaging hints keep positive guidance.
A single global MAX_TEXT_LENGTH = 4000 truncated every TTS provider at
4000 chars, causing long inputs to be silently chopped even though the
underlying APIs allow much more:
- OpenAI: 4096
- xAI: 15000
- MiniMax: 10000
- ElevenLabs: 5000 / 10000 / 30000 / 40000 (model-aware)
- Gemini: ~5000
- Edge: ~5000
The schema description also told the model 'Keep under 4000 characters',
which encouraged the agent to self-chunk long briefs into multiple TTS
calls (producing 3 separate audio files instead of one).
New behavior:
- PROVIDER_MAX_TEXT_LENGTH table + ELEVENLABS_MODEL_MAX_TEXT_LENGTH
encode the documented per-provider limits.
- _resolve_max_text_length(provider, cfg) resolves:
1. tts.<provider>.max_text_length user override
2. ElevenLabs model_id lookup
3. provider default
4. 4000 fallback
- text_to_speech_tool() and stream_tts_to_speaker() both call the
resolver; old MAX_TEXT_LENGTH alias kept for back-compat.
- Schema description no longer hardcodes 4000.
Tests: 27 new unit + E2E tests; all 53 existing TTS tests and 253
voice-command/voice-cli tests still pass.
Follow-up on #13724: showing literally every source was too noisy.\n\n now fetches a wider window (, larger limit) and then filters to a curated allowlist of human-facing sources (tui/cli plus chat adapters like telegram/discord/slack/whatsapp/etc). This keeps row #7 fixed (telegram sessions visible in /resume) without surfacing internal source kinds such as tool/acp.
* feat(models): hide OpenRouter models that don't advertise tool support
Port from Kilo-Org/kilocode#9068.
hermes-agent is tool-calling-first — every provider path assumes the
model can invoke tools. Models whose OpenRouter supported_parameters
doesn't include 'tools' (e.g. image-only or completion-only models)
cannot be driven by the agent loop and fail at the first tool call.
Filter them out of fetch_openrouter_models() so they never appear in
the model picker (`hermes model`, setup wizard, /model slash command).
Permissive when the field is missing — OpenRouter-compatible gateways
(Nous Portal, private mirrors, older snapshots) don't always populate
supported_parameters. Treat missing as 'unknown → allow' rather than
silently emptying the picker on those gateways. Only hide models
whose supported_parameters is an explicit list that omits tools.
Tests cover: tools present → kept, tools absent → dropped, field
missing → kept, malformed non-list → kept, non-dict item → kept,
empty list → dropped.
* feat(delegate): cross-agent file state coordination for concurrent subagents
Prevents mangled edits when concurrent subagents touch the same file
(same process, same filesystem — the mangle scenario from #11215).
Three layers, all opt-out via HERMES_DISABLE_FILE_STATE_GUARD=1:
1. FileStateRegistry (tools/file_state.py) — process-wide singleton
tracking per-agent read stamps and the last writer globally.
check_stale() names the sibling subagent in the warning when a
non-owning agent wrote after this agent's last read.
2. Per-path threading.Lock wrapped around the read-modify-write
region in write_file_tool and patch_tool. Concurrent siblings on
the same path serialize; different paths stay fully parallel.
V4A multi-file patches lock in sorted path order (deadlock-free).
3. Delegate-completion reminder in tools/delegate_tool.py: after a
subagent returns, writes_since(parent, child_start, parent_reads)
appends '[NOTE: subagent modified files the parent previously
read — re-read before editing: ...]' to entry.summary when the
child touched anything the parent had already seen.
Complements (does not replace) the existing path-overlap check in
run_agent._should_parallelize_tool_batch — batch check prevents
same-file parallel dispatch within one agent's turn (cheap prevention,
zero API cost), registry catches cross-subagent and cross-turn
staleness at write time (detection).
Behavior is warning-only, not hard-failing — matches existing project
style. Errors surface naturally: sibling writes often invalidate the
old_string in patch operations, which already errors cleanly.
Tests: tests/tools/test_file_state_registry.py — 16 tests covering
registry state transitions, per-path locking, per-path-not-global
locking, writes_since filtering, kill switch, and end-to-end
integration through the real read_file/write_file/patch handlers.
Reported during TUI v2 blitz retest: /resume modal only surfaced tui/cli
rows, even though `hermes --tui --resume <id>` with a pasted telegram
session id works fine. The handler double-fetched with explicit
`source="tui"` and `source="cli"` filters and dropped everything else on
the floor.
Drop the filter — list_sessions_rich(source=None) already excludes
child sessions (subagents, compression continuations) via its default,
and users want to resume messenger sessions from inside the TUI.
Adds gateway regression coverage.
Two unit tests that pin down the threading.local semantics the CLI freeze
fix (#13617 / #13618) relies on:
- main-thread registration must be invisible to child threads (documents
the underlying bug — if this ever starts passing visible, ACP's
GHSA-qg5c-hvr5-hjgr race has returned)
- child-thread registration must be visible from that same thread AND
cleared by the finally block (documents the fix pattern used by
cli.py's run_agent closure and acp_adapter/server.py)
Pairs with the fix in the preceding commit by @Societus.
Adds role='leaf'|'orchestrator' to delegate_task. With max_spawn_depth>=2,
an orchestrator child retains the 'delegation' toolset and can spawn its
own workers; leaf children cannot delegate further (identical to today).
Default posture is flat — max_spawn_depth=1 means a depth-0 parent's
children land at the depth-1 floor and orchestrator role silently
degrades to leaf. Users opt into nested delegation by raising
max_spawn_depth to 2 or 3 in config.yaml.
Also threads acp_command/acp_args through the main agent loop's delegate
dispatch (previously silently dropped in the schema) via a new
_dispatch_delegate_task helper, and adds a DelegateEvent enum with
legacy-string back-compat for gateway/ACP/CLI progress consumers.
Config (hermes_cli/config.py defaults):
delegation.max_concurrent_children: 3 # floor-only, no upper cap
delegation.max_spawn_depth: 1 # 1=flat (default), 2-3 unlock nested
delegation.orchestrator_enabled: true # global kill switch
Salvaged from @pefontana's PR #11215. Overrides vs. the original PR:
concurrency stays at 3 (PR bumped to 5 + cap 8 — we keep the floor only,
no hard ceiling); max_spawn_depth defaults to 1 (PR defaulted to 2 which
silently enabled one level of orchestration for every user).

The prior form of this test asserted on CLI_CONFIG["delegation"] after
importing cli, which only passed by accident of pytest-xdist worker
scheduling. cli._hermes_home is frozen at module import time (cli.py:76),
before the tests/conftest.py autouse HERMES_HOME-isolation fixture can
fire, so CLI_CONFIG ends up populated by deep-merging the contributor's
actual ~/.hermes/config.yaml over the defaults (cli.py:359-366). Any
contributor (like me) who still has the legacy key set in their own
config causes a false failure the moment another test file in the same
xdist worker imports cli at module level.
Asserting on the source of load_cli_config() instead sidesteps all of
that: the test now checks the defaults literal directly and is
independent of user config, HERMES_HOME, import order, and worker
scheduling.
Demonstrated failure mode before this fix:
pytest tests/hermes_cli/test_config_drift.py \
tests/hermes_cli/test_skills_hub.py -o addopts=""
-> FAILED (CLI_CONFIG["delegation"] contained "default_toolsets"
from the user's ~/.hermes/config.yaml)
Part of Initiative 2 / M0.5.
delegation.default_toolsets was declared in cli.py's CLI_CONFIG default
dict and documented in cli-config.yaml.example, but never read: none of
tools/delegate_tool.py, _load_config(), or any call site ever looked it
up. The live fallback is the DEFAULT_TOOLSETS module constant at
tools/delegate_tool.py:101, which stays as-is.
hermes_cli/config.py's DEFAULT_CONFIG["delegation"] already omits the
key — this commit aligns cli.py with that.
Adds a regression test in tests/hermes_cli/test_config_drift.py so a
future refactor that re-adds the key without wiring it up to
_load_config() fails loudly.

Adds OpenAI's new GPT Image 2 model via FAL.ai, selectable through
`hermes tools` → Image Generation. SOTA text rendering (including CJK)
and world-aware photorealism.
- FAL_MODELS entry with image_size_preset style
- 4:3 presets on all aspect ratios — 16:9 (1024x576) falls below
GPT-Image-2's 655,360 min-pixel floor and would be rejected
- quality pinned to medium (same rule as gpt-image-1.5) for
predictable Nous Portal billing
- BYOK (openai_api_key) deliberately omitted from supports so all
users stay on shared FAL billing
- 6 new tests covering preset mapping, quality pinning, and
supports-whitelist integrity
- Docs table + aspect-ratio map updated
Live-tested end-to-end: 39.9s cold request, clean 1024x768 PNG
The [Replying to: "..."] prefix is disambiguation, not deduplication. When
a user explicitly replies to a prior message, the agent needs a pointer to
which specific message they're referencing — even when the quoted text
already exists somewhere in history. History can contain the same or
similar text multiple times; without an explicit pointer the agent has to
guess (or answer for both subjects), and the reply signal is silently
dropped.
Example: in a conversation comparing Japan and Italy, replying to the
"Japan is great for culture..." message and asking "What's the best time
to go?" — previously the found_in_history check suppressed the prefix
because the quoted text was already in history, leaving the agent to
guess which destination the user meant. Now the pointer is always present.
Drops the found_in_history guard added in #1594. Token overhead is
minimal (snippet capped at 500 chars on the new user turn; cached prefix
unaffected). Behavior becomes deterministic: reply sent ⇒ pointer present.
Thanks to smartyi for flagging this.
Reported during TUI v2 blitz testing: typing `@folder:` in the composer
pulled up .dockerignore, .env, .gitignore, and every other file in the
cwd alongside the actual directories. The completion loop yielded every
entry regardless of the explicit prefix and auto-rewrote each completion
to @file: vs @folder: based on is_dir — defeating the user's choice.
Also fixed a pre-existing adjacent bug: a bare `@file:` or `@folder:`
(no path) used expanded=="." as both search_dir AND match_prefix,
filtering the list to dotfiles only. When expanded is empty or ".",
search in cwd with no prefix filter.
- want_dir = prefix == "@folder:" drives an explicit is_dir filter
- preserve the typed prefix in completion text instead of rewriting
- three regression tests cover: folder-only, file-only, and the bare-
prefix case where completions keep the `@folder:` prefix
Reported during the TUI v2 blitz test: switching from openrouter to
anthropic via `/model <name> --provider anthropic` appeared to succeed,
but the next turn kept hitting openrouter — the provider the user was
deliberately moving away from.
Two gaps caused this:
1. `Agent.switch_model` reset `_fallback_activated` / `_fallback_index`
but left `_fallback_chain` intact. The chain was seeded from
`fallback_providers:` at agent init for the *original* primary, so
when the new primary returned 401 (invalid/expired Anthropic key),
`_try_activate_fallback()` picked the old provider back up without
informing the user. Prune entries matching either the old primary
(user is moving away) or the new primary (redundant) whenever the
primary provider actually changes.
2. `_apply_model_switch` persisted `HERMES_MODEL` but never updated
`HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER`. Any ambient re-resolution of the runtime
(credential pool refresh, compressor rebuild, aux clients) falls
through to that env var in `resolve_requested_provider`, so it kept
reporting the original provider even after an in-memory switch.
Adds three regression tests: fallback-chain prune on primary change,
no-op on same-provider model swap, and env-var sync on explicit switch.
Qwen models on OpenCode, OpenCode Go, and direct DashScope accept
Anthropic-style cache_control markers on OpenAI-wire chat completions,
but hermes only injected markers for Claude-named models. Result: zero
cache hits on every turn, full prompt re-billed — a community user
reported burning through their OpenCode Go subscription on Qwen3.6.
Extend _anthropic_prompt_cache_policy to return (True, False) — envelope
layout, not native — for the Alibaba provider family when the model name
contains 'qwen'. Envelope layout places markers on inner content blocks
(matching pi-mono's 'alibaba' cacheControlFormat) and correctly skips
top-level markers on tool-role messages (which OpenCode rejects).
Non-Qwen models on these providers (GLM, Kimi) keep their existing
behaviour — they have automatic server-side caching and don't need
client markers.
Upstream reference: pi-mono #3392 / #3393 documented this contract for
opencode-go Qwen models.
Adds 7 regression tests covering Qwen3.5/3.6/coder on each affected
provider plus negative cases for GLM/Kimi/OpenRouter-Qwen.
DNS rebinding attack: a victim browser that has the dashboard (or the
WhatsApp bridge) open could be tricked into fetching from an
attacker-controlled hostname that TTL-flips to 127.0.0.1. Same-origin
and CORS checks don't help — the browser now treats the attacker origin
as same-origin with the local service. Validating the Host header at
the app layer rejects any request whose Host isn't one we bound for.
Changes:
hermes_cli/web_server.py:
- New host_header_middleware runs before auth_middleware. Reads
app.state.bound_host (set by start_server) and rejects requests
whose Host header doesn't match the bound interface with HTTP 400.
- Loopback binds accept localhost / 127.0.0.1 / ::1. Non-loopback
binds require exact match. 0.0.0.0 binds skip the check (explicit
--insecure opt-in; no app-layer defence possible).
- IPv6 bracket notation parsed correctly: [::1] and [::1]:9119 both
accepted.
scripts/whatsapp-bridge/bridge.js:
- Express middleware rejects non-loopback Host headers. Bridge
already binds 127.0.0.1-only, this adds the complementary app-layer
check for DNS rebinding defence.
Tests: 8 new in tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server_host_header.py
covering loopback/non-loopback/zero-zero binds, IPv6 brackets, case
insensitivity, and end-to-end middleware rejection via TestClient.
Reported in GHSA-ppp5-vxwm-4cf7 by @bupt-Yy-young. Hardening — not
CVE per SECURITY.md §3. The dashboard's main trust boundary is the
loopback bind + session token; DNS rebinding defeats the bind assumption
but not the token (since the rebinding browser still sees a first-party
fetch to 127.0.0.1 with the token-gated API). Host-header validation
adds the missing belt-and-braces layer.
When TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_URL was set but TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_SECRET was not,
python-telegram-bot received secret_token=None and the webhook endpoint
accepted any HTTP POST. Anyone who could reach the listener could inject
forged updates — spoofed user IDs, spoofed chat IDs, attacker-controlled
message text — and trigger handlers as if Telegram delivered them.
The fix refuses to start the adapter in webhook mode without the secret.
Polling mode (default, no webhook URL) is unaffected — polling is
authenticated by the bot token directly.
BREAKING CHANGE for webhook-mode deployments that never set
TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_SECRET. The error message explains remediation:
export TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_SECRET="$(openssl rand -hex 32)"
and instructs registering it with Telegram via setWebhook's secret_token
parameter. Release notes must call this out.
Reported in GHSA-3vpc-7q5r-276h by @bupt-Yy-young. Hardening — not CVE
per SECURITY.md §3 "Public Exposure: Deploying the gateway to the
public internet without external authentication or network protection"
covers the historical default, but shipping a fail-open webhook as the
default was the wrong choice and the guard aligns us with the SECURITY.md
threat model.
Two related ACP approval issues:
GHSA-96vc-wcxf-jjff — ACP's _run_agent never set HERMES_INTERACTIVE
(or any other flag recognized by tools.approval), so check_all_command_guards
took the non-interactive auto-approve path and never consulted the
ACP-supplied approval callback (conn.request_permission). Dangerous
commands executed in ACP sessions without operator approval despite
the callback being installed. Fix: set HERMES_INTERACTIVE=1 around
the agent run so check_all_command_guards routes through
prompt_dangerous_approval(approval_callback=...) — the correct shape
for ACP's per-session request_permission call. HERMES_EXEC_ASK would
have routed through the gateway-queue path instead, which requires a
notify_cb registered in _gateway_notify_cbs (not applicable to ACP).
GHSA-qg5c-hvr5-hjgr — _approval_callback and _sudo_password_callback
were module-level globals in terminal_tool. Concurrent ACP sessions
running in ThreadPoolExecutor threads each installed their own callback
into the same slot, racing. Fix: store both callbacks in threading.local()
so each thread has its own slot. CLI mode (single thread) is unaffected;
gateway mode uses a separate queue-based approval path and was never
touched.
set_approval_callback is now called INSIDE _run_agent (the executor
thread) rather than before dispatching — so the TLS write lands on the
correct thread.
Tests: 5 new in tests/acp/test_approval_isolation.py covering
thread-local isolation of both callbacks and the HERMES_INTERACTIVE
callback routing. Existing tests/acp/ (159 tests) and tests/tools/
approval-related tests continue to pass.
Fixes GHSA-96vc-wcxf-jjff
Fixes GHSA-qg5c-hvr5-hjgr
A skill declaring `required_environment_variables: [ANTHROPIC_TOKEN]` in
its SKILL.md frontmatter silently bypassed the `execute_code` sandbox's
credential-scrubbing guarantee. `register_env_passthrough` had no
blocklist, so any name a skill chose flipped `is_env_passthrough(name) =>
True`, which shortcircuits the sandbox's secret filter.
Fix: reject registration when the name appears in
`_HERMES_PROVIDER_ENV_BLOCKLIST` (the canonical list of Hermes-managed
credentials — provider keys, gateway tokens, etc.). Log a warning naming
GHSA-rhgp-j443-p4rf so operators see the rejection in logs.
Non-Hermes third-party API keys (TENOR_API_KEY for gif-search,
NOTION_TOKEN for notion skills, etc.) remain legitimately registerable —
they were never in the sandbox scrub list in the first place.
Tests: 16 -> 17 passing. Two old tests that documented the bypass
(`test_passthrough_allows_blocklisted_var`, `test_make_run_env_passthrough`)
are rewritten to assert the new fail-closed behavior. New
`test_non_hermes_api_key_still_registerable` locks in that legitimate
third-party keys are unaffected.
Reported in GHSA-rhgp-j443-p4rf by @q1uf3ng. Hardening; not CVE-worthy
on its own per the decision matrix (attacker must already have operator
consent to install a malicious skill).
Two call sites still used a raw substring check to identify ollama.com:
hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py:496:
_is_ollama_url = "ollama.com" in base_url.lower()
run_agent.py:6127:
if fb_base_url_hint and "ollama.com" in fb_base_url_hint.lower() ...
Same bug class as GHSA-xf8p-v2cg-h7h5 (OpenRouter substring leak), which
was fixed in commit dbb7e00e via base_url_host_matches() across the
codebase. The earlier sweep missed these two Ollama sites. Self-discovered
during April 2026 security-advisory triage; filed as GHSA-76xc-57q6-vm5m.
Impact is narrow — requires a user with OLLAMA_API_KEY configured AND a
custom base_url whose path or look-alike host contains 'ollama.com'.
Users on default provider flows are unaffected. Filed as a draft advisory
to use the private-fork flow; not CVE-worthy on its own.
Fix is mechanical: replace substring check with base_url_host_matches
at both sites. Same helper the rest of the codebase uses.
Tests: 67 -> 71 passing. 7 new host-matcher cases in
tests/test_base_url_hostname.py (path injection, lookalike host,
localtest.me subdomain, ollama.ai TLD confusion, localhost, genuine
ollama.com, api.ollama.com subdomain) + 4 call-site tests in
tests/hermes_cli/test_runtime_provider_resolution.py verifying
OLLAMA_API_KEY is selected only when base_url actually targets
ollama.com.
Fixes GHSA-76xc-57q6-vm5m
- Replace kwargs.get('limit', 50) with module-level _LIST_SESSIONS_PAGE_SIZE
constant. ListSessionsRequest schema has no 'limit' field, so the kwarg
path was dead. Constant is the single source of truth for the page cap.
- Use next_cursor= (field name) instead of nextCursor= (alias). Both work
under the schema's populate_by_name config, but using the declared
Python field name is the consistent style in this file.
- Add docstring explaining cwd pass-through and cursor semantics.
- Add 4 tests: first-page with next_cursor, single-page no next_cursor,
cursor resumes after match, unknown cursor returns empty page.
The original tests replicated the try/except/cancel/raise pattern inline with
a mocked future, which tested Python's try/except semantics rather than the
scheduler's behavior. Rewrite them to invoke _deliver_result and
_send_media_via_adapter end-to-end with a real concurrent.futures.Future
whose .result() raises TimeoutError.
Mutation-verified: both tests fail when the try/except wrappers are removed
from cron/scheduler.py, pass with them in place.
When the live adapter delivery path (_deliver_result) or media send path
(_send_media_via_adapter) times out at future.result(timeout=N), the
underlying coroutine scheduled via asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe can
still complete on the event loop, causing a duplicate send after the
standalone fallback runs.
Cancel the future on TimeoutError before re-raising, so the standalone
fallback is the sole delivery path.
Adds TestDeliverResultTimeoutCancelsFuture and
TestSendMediaTimeoutCancelsFuture.
Kimi/Moonshot endpoints require explicit parameters that Hermes was not
sending, causing 'Response truncated due to output length limit' errors
and inconsistent reasoning behavior.
Root cause analysis against Kimi CLI source (MoonshotAI/kimi-cli,
packages/kosong/src/kosong/chat_provider/kimi.py):
1. max_tokens: Kimi's API defaults to a very low value when omitted.
Reasoning tokens share the output budget — the model exhausts it on
thinking alone. Send 32000, matching Kimi CLI's generate() default.
2. reasoning_effort: Kimi CLI sends this as a top-level parameter (not
inside extra_body). Hermes was not sending it at all because
_supports_reasoning_extra_body() returns False for non-OpenRouter
endpoints.
3. extra_body.thinking: Kimi CLI uses with_thinking() which sets
extra_body.thinking={"type":"enabled"} alongside reasoning_effort.
This is a separate control from the OpenAI-style reasoning extra_body
that Hermes sends for OpenRouter/GitHub. Without it, the Kimi gateway
may not activate reasoning mode correctly.
Covers api.kimi.com (Kimi Code) and api.moonshot.ai/cn (Moonshot).
Tests: 6 new test cases for max_tokens, reasoning_effort, and
extra_body.thinking under various configs.
Gateway /model <name> --provider opencode-go (or any provider whose /models
endpoint is down, 404s, or doesn't exist) silently failed. validate_requested_model
returned accepted=False whenever fetch_api_models returned None, switch_model
returned success=False, and the gateway never wrote _session_model_overrides —
so the switch appeared to succeed in the error message flow but the next turn
kept calling the old provider.
The validator already had static-catalog fallbacks for MiniMax and Codex
(providers without a /models endpoint). Extended the same pattern as the
terminal fallback: when the live probe fails, consult provider_model_ids()
for the curated catalog. Known models → accepted+recognized. Close typos →
auto-corrected. Unknown models → soft-accepted with a 'Not in curated
catalog' warning. Providers with no catalog at all → soft-accepted with a
generic 'Note:' warning, finally honoring the in-code comment ('Accept and
persist, but warn') that had been lying since it was written.
Tests: 7 new tests in test_opencode_go_validation_fallback.py covering the
catalog lookup, case-insensitive match, auto-correct, unknown-with-suggestion,
unknown-without-suggestion, and no-catalog paths. TestValidateApiFallback in
test_model_validation.py updated — its four 'rejected_when_api_down' tests
were encoding exactly the bug being fixed.
The MCP circuit breaker in tools/mcp_tool.py has no half-open state and
no reset-on-reconnect behavior, so once it trips after 3 consecutive
failures it stays tripped for the process lifetime. These tests lock
in the intended recovery behavior:
1. test_circuit_breaker_half_opens_after_cooldown — after the cooldown
elapses, the next call must actually probe the session; success
closes the breaker.
2. test_circuit_breaker_reopens_on_probe_failure — a failed probe
re-arms the cooldown instead of letting every subsequent call
through.
3. test_circuit_breaker_cleared_on_reconnect — a successful OAuth
recovery resets the breaker even if the post-reconnect retry
fails (a successful reconnect is sufficient evidence the server
is viable again).
All three currently fail, as expected.
* feat(models): hide OpenRouter models that don't advertise tool support
Port from Kilo-Org/kilocode#9068.
hermes-agent is tool-calling-first — every provider path assumes the
model can invoke tools. Models whose OpenRouter supported_parameters
doesn't include 'tools' (e.g. image-only or completion-only models)
cannot be driven by the agent loop and fail at the first tool call.
Filter them out of fetch_openrouter_models() so they never appear in
the model picker (`hermes model`, setup wizard, /model slash command).
Permissive when the field is missing — OpenRouter-compatible gateways
(Nous Portal, private mirrors, older snapshots) don't always populate
supported_parameters. Treat missing as 'unknown → allow' rather than
silently emptying the picker on those gateways. Only hide models
whose supported_parameters is an explicit list that omits tools.
Tests cover: tools present → kept, tools absent → dropped, field
missing → kept, malformed non-list → kept, non-dict item → kept,
empty list → dropped.
* refactor(acp): validate method_id against advertised provider in authenticate()
Previously authenticate() accepted any method_id whenever the server had
provider credentials configured. This was not a vulnerability under the
personal-assistant trust model (ACP is stdio-only, local-trust — anything
that can reach the transport is already code-execution-equivalent to the
user), but it was sloppy API hygiene: the advertised auth_methods list
from initialize() was effectively ignored.
Now authenticate() only returns AuthenticateResponse when method_id
matches the currently-advertised provider (case-insensitive). Mismatched
or missing method_id returns None, consistent with the no-credentials
case.
Raised by xeloxa via GHSA-g5pf-8w9m-h72x. Declined as a CVE
(ACP transport is stdio, local-trust model), but the correctness fix is
worth having on its own.
Current main's _message_mentions_bot() uses MessageEntity-only detection
(commit e330112a), so the test for '/status@hermes_bot' needs to include
a MENTION entity. Real Telegram always emits one for /cmd@botname — the
bot menu and CommandHandler rely on this mechanism.
When require_mention is enabled, slash commands no longer bypass
mention checks. Bare /command without @mention is filtered in groups,
while /command@botname (bot menu) and @botname /command still pass.
Commands still pass unconditionally when require_mention is disabled,
preserving backward compatibility.
Closes#6033
Treat whitespace-only FAL_KEY the same as unset so users who export
FAL_KEY=" " (or CI that leaves a blank token) get the expected
'not set' error path instead of a confusing downstream fal_client
failure.
Applied to the two direct FAL_KEY checks in image_generation_tool.py:
image_generate_tool's upfront credential check and check_fal_api_key().
Both keep the existing managed-gateway fallback intact.
Adapted the original whitespace/valid tests to pin the managed gateway
to None so the whitespace assertion exercises the direct-key path
rather than silently relying on gateway absence.
Follow-ups on top of @teyrebaz33's cherry-picked commit:
1. New shared helper format_no_match_hint() in fuzzy_match.py with a
startswith('Could not find') gate so the snippet only appends to
genuine no-match errors — not to 'Found N matches' (ambiguous),
'Escape-drift detected', or 'identical strings' errors, which would
all mislead the model.
2. file_tools.patch_tool suppresses the legacy generic '[Hint: old_string
not found...]' string when the rich 'Did you mean?' snippet is
already attached — no more double-hint.
3. Wire the same helper into patch_parser.py (V4A patch mode, both
_validate_operations and _apply_update) and skill_manager_tool.py so
all three fuzzy callers surface the hint consistently.
Tests: 7 new gating tests in TestFormatNoMatchHint cover every error
class (ambiguous, drift, identical, non-zero match count, None error,
no similar content, happy path). 34/34 test_fuzzy_match, 96/96
test_file_tools + test_patch_parser + test_skill_manager_tool pass.
E2E verified across all four scenarios: no-match-with-similar,
no-match-no-similar, ambiguous, success. V4A mode confirmed
end-to-end with a non-matching hunk.
When patch_replace() cannot find old_string in a file, the error message
now includes the closest matching lines from the file with line numbers
and context. This helps the LLM self-correct without a separate read_file
call.
Implements Phase 1 of #536: enhanced patch error feedback with no
architectural changes.
- tools/fuzzy_match.py: new find_closest_lines() using SequenceMatcher
- tools/file_operations.py: attach closest-lines hint to patch errors
- tests/tools/test_fuzzy_match.py: 5 new tests for find_closest_lines
OpenCode Go's published model list (opencode.ai/docs/go) includes kimi-k2.6,
qwen3.5-plus, and qwen3.6-plus, but Hermes' curated lists didn't carry them.
When the live /models probe fails during `hermes model`, users fell back to
the stale curated list and had to type newer models via 'Enter custom model
name'.
Adds kimi-k2.6 (now first in the Go list), qwen3.6-plus, and qwen3.5-plus
to both the model picker (hermes_cli/models.py) and setup defaults
(hermes_cli/setup.py). All routed through the existing opencode-go
chat_completions path — no api_mode changes needed.
Wires the agent/account_usage module from the preceding commit into
/usage so users see provider-side quota/credit info alongside the
existing session token report.
CLI:
- `_show_usage` appends account lines under the token table. Fetch
runs in a 1-worker ThreadPoolExecutor with a 10s timeout so a slow
provider API can never hang the prompt.
Gateway:
- `_handle_usage_command` resolves provider from the live agent when
available, else from the persisted billing_provider/billing_base_url
on the SessionDB row, so /usage still returns account info between
turns when no agent is resident. Fetch runs via asyncio.to_thread.
- Account section is appended to all three return branches: running
agent, no-agent-with-history, and the new no-agent-no-history path
(falls back to account-only output instead of "no data").
Tests:
- 2 new tests in tests/gateway/test_usage_command.py cover the live-
agent account section and the persisted-billing fallback path.
Salvaged from PR #2486 by @kshitijk4poor. The original branch had
drifted ~2615 commits behind main and rewrote _show_usage wholesale,
which would have dropped the rate-limit and cached-agent blocks added
in PRs #6541 and #7038. This commit re-adds only the new behavior on
top of current main.
Ports agent/account_usage.py and its tests from the original PR #2486
branch. Defines AccountUsageSnapshot / AccountUsageWindow dataclasses,
a shared renderer, and provider-specific fetchers for OpenAI Codex
(wham/usage), Anthropic OAuth (oauth/usage), and OpenRouter (/credits
and /key). Wiring into /usage lands in a follow-up salvage commit.

Every credential source Hermes reads from now behaves identically on
`hermes auth remove`: the pool entry stays gone across fresh load_pool()
calls, even when the underlying external state (env var, OAuth file,
auth.json block, config entry) is still present.
Before this, auth_remove_command was a 110-line if/elif with five
special cases, and three more sources (qwen-cli, copilot, custom
config) had no removal handler at all — their pool entries silently
resurrected on the next invocation. Even the handled cases diverged:
codex suppressed, anthropic deleted-without-suppressing, nous cleared
without suppressing. Each new provider added a new gap.
What's new:
agent/credential_sources.py — RemovalStep registry, one entry per
source (env, claude_code, hermes_pkce, nous device_code, codex
device_code, qwen-cli, copilot gh_cli + env vars, custom config).
auth_remove_command dispatches uniformly via find_removal_step().
Changes elsewhere:
agent/credential_pool.py — every upsert in _seed_from_env,
_seed_from_singletons, and _seed_custom_pool now gates on
is_source_suppressed(provider, source) via a shared helper.
hermes_cli/auth_commands.py — auth_remove_command reduced to 25
lines of dispatch; auth_add_command now clears ALL suppressions for
the provider on re-add (was env:* only).
Copilot is special: the same token is seeded twice (gh_cli via
_seed_from_singletons + env:<VAR> via _seed_from_env), so removing one
entry without suppressing the other variants lets the duplicate
resurrect. The copilot RemovalStep suppresses gh_cli + all three env
variants (COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN, GH_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN) at once.
Tests: 11 new unit tests + 4059 existing pass. 12 E2E scenarios cover
every source in isolated HERMES_HOME with simulated fresh processes.
Removing an env-seeded credential only cleared ~/.hermes/.env and the
current process's os.environ, leaving shell-exported vars (shell profile,
systemd EnvironmentFile, launchd plist) to resurrect the entry on the
next load_pool() call. This matched the pre-#11485 codex behaviour.
Now we suppress env:<VAR> in auth.json on remove, gate _seed_from_env()
behind is_source_suppressed(), clear env:* suppressions on auth add,
and print a diagnostic pointing at the shell when the var lives there.
Applies to every env:* seeded credential (xai, deepseek, moonshot, zai,
nvidia, openrouter, anthropic, etc.), not just xai.
Reported by @teknium1 from community user 'Artificial Brain' — couldn't
remove their xAI key via hermes auth remove.
Three fixes that close the remaining structural sources of CI flakes
after PR #13363.
## 1. Per-test reset of module-level singletons and ContextVars
Python modules are singletons per process, and pytest-xdist workers are
long-lived. Module-level dicts/sets and ContextVars persist across tests
on the same worker. A test that sets state in `tools.approval._session_approved`
and doesn't explicitly clear it leaks that state to every subsequent test
on the same worker.
New `_reset_module_state` autouse fixture in `tests/conftest.py` clears:
- tools.approval: _session_approved, _session_yolo, _permanent_approved,
_pending, _gateway_queues, _gateway_notify_cbs, _approval_session_key
- tools.interrupt: _interrupted_threads
- gateway.session_context: 10 session/cron ContextVars (reset to _UNSET)
- tools.env_passthrough: _allowed_env_vars_var (reset to empty set)
- tools.credential_files: _registered_files_var (reset to empty dict)
- tools.file_tools: _read_tracker, _file_ops_cache
This was the single biggest remaining class of CI flakes.
`test_command_guards::test_warn_session_approved` and
`test_combined_cli_session_approves_both` were failing 12/15 recent main
runs specifically because `_session_approved` carried approvals from a
prior test's session into these tests' `"default"` session lookup.
## 2. Unset platform allowlist env vars in hermetic fixture
`TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS`, `DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS`, and 20 other
`*_ALLOWED_USERS` / `*_ALLOW_ALL_USERS` vars are now unset per-test in
the same place credential env vars already are. These aren't credentials
but they change gateway auth behavior; if set from any source (user
shell, leaky test, CI env) they flake button-authorization tests.
Fixes three `test_telegram_approval_buttons` tests that were failing
across recent runs of the full gateway directory.
## 3. Two specific tests with module-level captured state
- `test_signal::TestSignalPhoneRedaction`: `agent.redact._REDACT_ENABLED`
is captured at module import from `HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS`, not read
per-call. `monkeypatch.delenv` at test time is too late. Added
`monkeypatch.setattr("agent.redact._REDACT_ENABLED", True)` per
skill xdist-cross-test-pollution Pattern 5.
- `test_internal_event_bypass_pairing::test_non_internal_event_without_user_triggers_pairing`:
`gateway.pairing.PAIRING_DIR` is captured at module import from
HERMES_HOME, so per-test HERMES_HOME redirection in conftest doesn't
retroactively move it. Test now monkeypatches PAIRING_DIR directly to
its tmp_path, preventing rate-limit state from prior xdist workers
from letting the pairing send-call be suppressed.
## Validation
- tests/tools/: 3494 pass (0 fail) including test_command_guards
- tests/gateway/: 3504 pass (0 fail) across repeat runs
- tests/agent/ + tests/hermes_cli/ + tests/run_agent/ + tests/tools/:
8371 pass, 37 skipped, 0 fail — full suite across directories
No production code changed.
file_safety now uses profile-aware get_hermes_home(), so the test
fixture must override HERMES_HOME too — otherwise it resolves to the
conftest's isolated tempdir and the hub-cache path doesn't match.
Builds on @AxDSan's PR #2109 to finish the KittenTTS wiring so the
provider behaves like every other TTS backend end to end.
- tools/tts_tool.py: `_check_kittentts_available()` helper and wire
into `check_tts_requirements()`; extend Opus-conversion list to
include kittentts (WAV → Opus for Telegram voice bubbles); point the
missing-package error at `hermes setup tts`.
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: add KittenTTS entry to the "Text-to-Speech"
toolset picker, with a `kittentts` post_setup hook that auto-installs
the wheel + soundfile via pip.
- hermes_cli/setup.py: `_install_kittentts_deps()`, new choice + install
flow in `_setup_tts_provider()`, provider_labels entry, and status row
in the `hermes setup` summary.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/tts.md: add KittenTTS to the provider
table, config example, ffmpeg note, and the zero-config voice-bubble tip.
- tests/tools/test_tts_kittentts.py: 10 unit tests covering generation,
model caching, config passthrough, ffmpeg conversion, availability
detection, and the missing-package dispatcher branch.
E2E verified against the real `kittentts` wheel:
- WAV direct output (pcm_s16le, 24kHz mono)
- MP3 conversion via ffmpeg (from WAV)
- Telegram flow (provider in Opus-conversion list) produces
`codec_name=opus`, 48kHz mono, `voice_compatible=True`, and the
`[[audio_as_voice]]` marker
- check_tts_requirements() returns True when kittentts is installed
Generalize shared multi-user session handling so non-thread group sessions
(group_sessions_per_user=False) get the same treatment as shared threads:
inbound messages are prefixed with [sender name], and the session prompt
shows a multi-user note instead of pinning a single **User:** line into
the cached system prompt.
Before: build_session_key already treated these as shared sessions, but
_prepare_inbound_message_text and build_session_context_prompt only
recognized shared threads — creating cross-user attribution drift and
prompt-cache contamination in shared groups.
- Add is_shared_multi_user_session() helper alongside build_session_key()
so both the session key and the multi-user branches are driven by the
same rules (DMs never shared, threads shared unless
thread_sessions_per_user, groups shared unless group_sessions_per_user).
- Add shared_multi_user_session field to SessionContext, populated by
build_session_context() from config.
- Use context.shared_multi_user_session in the prompt builder (label is
'Multi-user thread' when a thread is present, 'Multi-user session'
otherwise).
- Use the helper in _prepare_inbound_message_text so non-thread shared
groups also get [sender] prefixes.
Default behavior unchanged: DMs stay single-user, groups with
group_sessions_per_user=True still show the user normally, shared threads
keep their existing multi-user behavior.
Tests (65 passed):
- tests/gateway/test_session.py: new shared non-thread group prompt case.
- tests/gateway/test_shared_group_sender_prefix.py: inbound preprocessing
for shared non-thread groups and default groups.
Sweep ~74 redundant local imports across 21 files where the same module
was already imported at the top level. Also includes type fixes and lint
cleanups on the same branch.
Follow-up on top of opriz's atomic PID file fix. The prior change caught
the race AFTER runner.start(), so the loser still opened Telegram polling
and Discord gateway sockets before detecting the conflict and exiting.
Hoist the PID-claim block to BEFORE runner.start(). Now the loser of the
O_CREAT|O_EXCL race returns from start_gateway() without ever bringing up
any platform adapter — no Telegram conflict, no Discord duplicate session.
Also add regression tests:
- test_write_pid_file_is_atomic_against_concurrent_writers: second
write_pid_file() raises FileExistsError rather than clobbering.
- Two existing replace-path tests updated to stateful mocks since the
real post-kill state (get_running_pid None after remove_pid_file)
is now exercised by the hoisted re-check.
* feat(skills): inject absolute skill dir and expand ${HERMES_SKILL_DIR} templates
When a skill loads, the activation message now exposes the absolute
skill directory and substitutes ${HERMES_SKILL_DIR} /
${HERMES_SESSION_ID} tokens in the SKILL.md body, so skills with
bundled scripts can instruct the agent to run them by absolute path
without an extra skill_view round-trip.
Also adds opt-in inline-shell expansion: !`cmd` snippets in SKILL.md
are pre-executed (with the skill directory as CWD) and their stdout is
inlined into the message before the agent reads it. Off by default —
enable via skills.inline_shell in config.yaml — because any snippet
runs on the host without approval.
Changes:
- agent/skill_commands.py: template substitution, inline-shell
expansion, absolute skill-dir header, supporting-files list now
shows both relative and absolute forms.
- hermes_cli/config.py: new skills.template_vars,
skills.inline_shell, skills.inline_shell_timeout knobs.
- tests/agent/test_skill_commands.py: coverage for header, both
template tokens (present and missing session id), template_vars
disable, inline-shell default-off, enabled, CWD, and timeout.
- website/docs/developer-guide/creating-skills.md: documents the
template tokens, the absolute-path header, and the opt-in inline
shell with its security caveat.
Validation: tests/agent/ 1591 passed (includes 9 new tests).
E2E: loaded a real skill in an isolated HERMES_HOME; confirmed
${HERMES_SKILL_DIR} resolves to the absolute path, ${HERMES_SESSION_ID}
resolves to the passed task_id, !`date` runs when opt-in is set, and
stays literal when it isn't.
* feat(terminal): source ~/.bashrc (and user-listed init files) into session snapshot
bash login shells don't source ~/.bashrc, so tools that install themselves
there — nvm, asdf, pyenv, cargo, custom PATH exports — stay invisible to
the environment snapshot Hermes builds once per session. Under systemd
or any context with a minimal parent env, that surfaces as
'node: command not found' in the terminal tool even though the binary
is reachable from every interactive shell on the machine.
Changes:
- tools/environments/local.py: before the login-shell snapshot bootstrap
runs, prepend guarded 'source <file>' lines for each resolved init
file. Missing files are skipped, each source is wrapped with a
'[ -r ... ] && . ... || true' guard so a broken rc can't abort the
bootstrap.
- hermes_cli/config.py: new terminal.shell_init_files (explicit list,
supports ~ and ${VAR}) and terminal.auto_source_bashrc (default on)
knobs. When shell_init_files is set it takes precedence; when it's
empty and auto_source_bashrc is on, ~/.bashrc gets auto-sourced.
- tests/tools/test_local_shell_init.py: 10 tests covering the resolver
(auto-bashrc, missing file, explicit override, ~/${VAR} expansion,
opt-out) and the prelude builder (quoting, guarded sourcing), plus
a real-LocalEnvironment snapshot test that confirms exports in the
init file land in subsequent commands' environment.
- website/docs/reference/faq.md: documents the fix in Troubleshooting,
including the zsh-user pattern of sourcing ~/.zshrc or nvm.sh
directly via shell_init_files.
Validation: 10/10 new tests pass; tests/tools/test_local_*.py 40/40
pass; tests/agent/ 1591/1591 pass; tests/hermes_cli/test_config.py
50/50 pass. E2E in an isolated HERMES_HOME: confirmed that a fake
~/.bashrc setting a marker var and PATH addition shows up in a real
LocalEnvironment().execute() call, that auto_source_bashrc=false
suppresses it, that an explicit shell_init_files entry wins over the
auto default, and that a missing bashrc is silently skipped.
Catalog snapshots, config version literals, and enumeration counts are data
that changes as designed. Tests that assert on those values add no
behavioral coverage — they just break CI on every routine update and cost
engineering time to 'fix.'
Replace with invariants where one exists, delete where none does.
Deleted (pure snapshots):
- TestMinimaxModelCatalog (3 tests): 'MiniMax-M2.7 in models' et al
- TestGeminiModelCatalog: 'gemini-2.5-pro in models', 'gemini-3.x in models'
- test_browser_camofox_state::test_config_version_matches_current_schema
(docstring literally said it would break on unrelated bumps)
Relaxed (keep plumbing check, drop snapshot):
- Xiaomi / Arcee / Kimi moonshot / Kimi coding / HuggingFace static lists:
now assert 'provider exists and has >= 1 entry' instead of specific names
- HuggingFace main/models.py consistency test: drop 'len >= 6' floor
Dynamicized (follow source, not a literal):
- 3x test_config.py migration tests: raw['_config_version'] ==
DEFAULT_CONFIG['_config_version'] instead of hardcoded 21
Fixed stale tests against intentional behavior changes:
- test_insights::test_gateway_format_hides_cost: name matches new behavior
(no dollar figures); remove contradicting '$' in text assertion
- test_config::prefers_api_then_url_then_base_url: flipped per PR #9332;
rename + update to base_url > url > api
- test_anthropic_adapter: relax assert_called_once() (xdist-flaky) to
assert called — contract is 'credential flowed through'
- test_interrupt_propagation: add provider/model/_base_url to bare-agent
fixture so the stale-timeout code path resolves
Fixed stale integration tests against opt-in plugin gate:
- transform_tool_result + transform_terminal_output: write plugins.enabled
allow-list to config.yaml and reset the plugin manager singleton
Source fix (real consistency invariant):
- agent/model_metadata.py: add moonshotai/Kimi-K2.6 context length
(262144, same as K2.5). test_model_metadata_has_context_lengths was
correctly catching the gap.
Policy:
- AGENTS.md Testing section: new subsection 'Don't write change-detector
tests' with do/don't examples. Reviewers should reject catalog-snapshot
assertions in new tests.
Covers every test that failed on the last completed main CI run
(24703345583) except test_modal_sandbox_fixes::test_terminal_tool_present
+ test_terminal_and_file_toolsets_resolve_all_tools, which now pass both
alone and with the full tests/tools/ directory (xdist ordering flake that
resolved itself).
Add agent/transports/types.py with three shared dataclasses:
- NormalizedResponse: content, tool_calls, finish_reason, reasoning, usage, provider_data
- ToolCall: id, name, arguments, provider_data (per-tool-call protocol metadata)
- Usage: prompt_tokens, completion_tokens, total_tokens, cached_tokens
Add normalize_anthropic_response_v2() to anthropic_adapter.py — wraps the
existing v1 function and maps its output to NormalizedResponse. One call site
in run_agent.py (the main normalize branch) uses v2 with a back-compat shim
to SimpleNamespace for downstream code.
No ABC, no registry, no streaming, no client lifecycle. Those land in PR 3
with the first concrete transport (AnthropicTransport).
46 new tests:
- test_types.py: dataclass construction, build_tool_call, map_finish_reason
- test_anthropic_normalize_v2.py: v1-vs-v2 regression tests (text, tools,
thinking, mixed, stop reasons, mcp prefix stripping, edge cases)
Part of the provider transport refactor (PR 2 of 9).
Classic-CLI /steer typed during an active agent run was queued through
self._pending_input alongside ordinary user input. process_loop, which
drains that queue, is blocked inside self.chat() for the entire run,
so the queued command was not pulled until AFTER _agent_running had
flipped back to False — at which point process_command() took the idle
fallback ("No agent running; queued as next turn") and delivered the
steer as an ordinary next-turn user message.
From Utku's bug report on PR #13205: mid-run /steer arrived minutes
later at the end of the turn as a /queue-style message, completely
defeating its purpose.
Fix: add _should_handle_steer_command_inline() gating — when
_agent_running is True and the user typed /steer, dispatch
process_command(text) directly from the prompt_toolkit Enter handler
on the UI thread instead of queueing. This mirrors the existing
_should_handle_model_command_inline() pattern for /model and is
safe because agent.steer() is thread-safe (uses _pending_steer_lock,
no prompt_toolkit state mutation, instant return).
No changes to the idle-path behavior: /steer typed with no active
agent still takes the normal queue-and-drain route so the fallback
"No agent running; queued as next turn" message is preserved.
Validation:
- 7 new unit tests in tests/cli/test_cli_steer_busy_path.py covering
the detector, dispatch path, and idle-path control behavior.
- All 21 existing tests in tests/run_agent/test_steer.py still pass.
- Live PTY end-to-end test with real agent + real openrouter model:
22:36:22 API call #1 (model requested execute_code)
22:36:26 ENTER FIRED: agent_running=True, text='/steer ...'
22:36:26 INLINE STEER DISPATCH fired
22:36:43 agent.log: 'Delivered /steer to agent after tool batch'
22:36:44 API call #2 included the steer; response contained marker
Same test on the tip of main without this fix shows the steer
landing as a new user turn ~20s after the run ended.
Delete the stale literal `_PROVIDER_MODELS["ai-gateway"]` (gpt-5,
gemini-2.5-pro, claude-4.5 — outdated the moment PR #13223 landed with
its curated `AI_GATEWAY_MODELS` snapshot) and derive it from
`AI_GATEWAY_MODELS` instead, so the picker tuples and the bare-id
fallback catalog stay in sync automatically. Also fixes
`get_default_model_for_provider('ai-gateway')` to return kimi-k2.6
(the curated recommendation) instead of claude-opus-4.6.
The mid-run steer marker was '[USER STEER (injected mid-run, not tool
output): <text>]'. Replaced with a plain two-newline-prefixed
'User guidance: <text>' suffix.
Rationale: the marker lives inside the tool result's content string
regardless of whether the tool returned JSON, plain text, an MCP
result, or a plugin result. The bracketed tag read like structured
metadata that some tools (terminal, execute_code) could confuse with
their own output formatting. A plain labelled suffix works uniformly
across every content shape we produce.
Behavior unchanged:
- Still injected into the last tool-role message's content.
- Still preserves multimodal (Anthropic) content-block lists by
appending a text block.
- Still drained at both sites added in #12959 and #13205 — per-tool
drain between individual calls, and pre-API-call drain at the top
of each main-loop iteration.
Checked Codex's equivalent (pending_input / inject_user_message_without_turn
in codex-rs/core): they record mid-turn user input as a real role:user
message via record_user_prompt_and_emit_turn_item(). That's cleaner for
their Responses-API model but not portable to Chat Completions where
role alternation after tool_calls is strict. Embedding the guidance in
the last tool result remains the correct placement for us.
Validation: all 21 tests in tests/run_agent/test_steer.py pass.
Aslaaen's fix in the original PR covered _detect_api_mode_for_url and the
two openai/xai sites in run_agent.py. This finishes the sweep: the same
substring-match false-positive class (e.g. https://api.openai.com.evil/v1,
https://proxy/api.openai.com/v1, https://api.anthropic.com.example/v1)
existed in eight more call sites, and the hostname helper was duplicated
in two modules.
- utils: add shared base_url_hostname() (single source of truth).
- hermes_cli/runtime_provider, run_agent: drop local duplicates, import
from utils. Reuse the cached AIAgent._base_url_hostname attribute
everywhere it's already populated.
- agent/auxiliary_client: switch codex-wrap auto-detect, max_completion_tokens
gate (auxiliary_max_tokens_param), and custom-endpoint max_tokens kwarg
selection to hostname equality.
- run_agent: native-anthropic check in the Claude-style model branch
and in the AIAgent init provider-auto-detect branch.
- agent/model_metadata: Anthropic /v1/models context-length lookup.
- hermes_cli/providers.determine_api_mode: anthropic / openai URL
heuristics for custom/unknown providers (the /anthropic path-suffix
convention for third-party gateways is preserved).
- tools/delegate_tool: anthropic detection for delegated subagent
runtimes.
- hermes_cli/setup, hermes_cli/tools_config: setup-wizard vision-endpoint
native-OpenAI detection (paired with deduping the repeated check into
a single is_native_openai boolean per branch).
Tests:
- tests/test_base_url_hostname.py covers the helper directly
(path-containing-host, host-suffix, trailing dot, port, case).
- tests/hermes_cli/test_determine_api_mode_hostname.py adds the same
regression class for determine_api_mode, plus a test that the
/anthropic third-party gateway convention still wins.

Load-time sanitizer silently removed non-ASCII codepoints from any
env var ending in _API_KEY / _TOKEN / _SECRET / _KEY, turning
copy-paste artifacts (Unicode lookalikes, ZWSP, NBSP) into opaque
provider-side API_KEY_INVALID errors.
Warn once per key to stderr with the offending codepoints (U+XXXX)
and guidance to re-copy from the provider dashboard.
When the live Vercel AI Gateway catalog exposes a Moonshot model with
zero input AND output pricing, it's promoted to position #1 as the
recommended default — even if the exact ID isn't in the curated
AI_GATEWAY_MODELS list. This enables dynamic discovery of new free
Moonshot variants without requiring a PR to update curation.
Paid Moonshot models are unaffected; falls back to the normal curated
recommended tag when no free Moonshot is live.
- Curated AI_GATEWAY_MODELS list in hermes_cli/models.py (OSS first,
kimi-k2.5 as recommended default).
- fetch_ai_gateway_models() filters the curated list against the live
/v1/models catalog; falls back to the snapshot on network failure.
- fetch_ai_gateway_pricing() translates Vercel's input/output field
names to the prompt/completion shape the shared picker expects;
carries input_cache_read / input_cache_write through unchanged.
- get_pricing_for_provider() now handles ai-gateway.
- _model_flow_ai_gateway() provides a guided URL prompt when no key
is set and a pricing-column picker; routes ai-gateway to it instead
of the generic api-key flow.
Requests through Vercel AI Gateway now carry referrerUrl / appName /
User-Agent attribution so traffic shows up in the gateway's analytics.
Adds _AI_GATEWAY_HEADERS in auxiliary_client and a new
ai-gateway.vercel.sh branch in _apply_client_headers_for_base_url.
Users can declare shell scripts in config.yaml under a hooks: block that
fire on plugin-hook events (pre_tool_call, post_tool_call, pre_llm_call,
subagent_stop, etc). Scripts receive JSON on stdin, can return JSON on
stdout to block tool calls or inject context pre-LLM.
Key design:
- Registers closures on existing PluginManager._hooks dict — zero changes
to invoke_hook() call sites
- subprocess.run(shell=False) via shlex.split — no shell injection
- First-use consent per (event, command) pair, persisted to allowlist JSON
- Bypass via --accept-hooks, HERMES_ACCEPT_HOOKS=1, or hooks_auto_accept
- hermes hooks list/test/revoke/doctor CLI subcommands
- Adds subagent_stop hook event fired after delegate_task children exit
- Claude Code compatible response shapes accepted

Pass the user's configured api_key through local-server detection and
context-length probes (detect_local_server_type, _query_local_context_length,
query_ollama_num_ctx) and use LM Studio's native /api/v1/models endpoint in
fetch_endpoint_model_metadata when a loaded instance is present — so the
probed context length is the actual runtime value the user loaded the model
at, not just the model's theoretical max.
Helps local-LLM users whose auto-detected context length was wrong, causing
compression failures and context-overrun crashes.
When /steer is sent during an API call (model thinking), the steer text
sits in _pending_steer until after the next tool batch — which may never
come if the model returns a final response. In that case the steer is
only delivered as a post-run follow-up, defeating the purpose.
Add a pre-API-call drain at the top of the main loop: before building
api_messages, check _pending_steer and inject into the last tool result
in the messages list. This ensures steers sent during model thinking are
visible on the very next API call.
If no tool result exists yet (first iteration), the steer is restashed
for the post-tool drain to pick up — injecting into a user message would
break role alternation.
Three new tests cover the pre-API-call drain: injection into last tool
result, restash when no tool message exists, and backward scan past
non-tool messages.

Adds native media attachment delivery to Signal via signal-cli JSON-RPC
attachments param. Signal messages with media now follow the same
early-return pattern as Telegram/Discord/Matrix — attachments are sent
only with the last chunk to avoid duplicates.
Follow-up fixes on top of the original PR:
- Moved Signal into its own early-return block above the restriction
check (matches Telegram/Discord/Matrix pattern)
- Fixed media_files being sent on every chunk in the generic loop
- Restored restriction/warning guards to simple form (Signal exits early)
- Fixed non-hermetic test writing to /tmp instead of tmp_path
Kimi's gateway selects the correct temperature server-side based on the
active mode (thinking -> 1.0, non-thinking -> 0.6). Sending any
temperature value — even the previously "correct" one — conflicts with
gateway-managed defaults.
Replaces the old approach of forcing specific temperature values (0.6
for non-thinking, 1.0 for thinking) with an OMIT_TEMPERATURE sentinel
that tells all call sites to strip the temperature key from API kwargs
entirely.
Changes:
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: OMIT_TEMPERATURE sentinel, _is_kimi_model()
prefix check (covers all kimi-* models), _fixed_temperature_for_model()
returns sentinel for kimi models. _build_call_kwargs() strips temp.
- run_agent.py: _build_api_kwargs, flush_memories, and summary generation
paths all handle the sentinel by popping/omitting temperature.
- trajectory_compressor.py: _effective_temperature_for_model returns None
for kimi (sentinel mapped), direct client calls use kwargs dict to
conditionally include temperature.
- mini_swe_runner.py: same sentinel handling via wrapper function.
- 6 test files updated: all 'forces temperature X' assertions replaced
with 'temperature not in kwargs' assertions.
Net: -76 lines (171 added, 247 removed).

Dropped the run.py group auth bypass (would have skipped user auth
for ALL platforms, not just WhatsApp).
Replaces the serial for-loop in tick() with ThreadPoolExecutor so all
jobs due in a single tick run concurrently. A slow job no longer blocks
others from executing, fixing silent job skipping (issue #9086).
Thread safety:
- Session/delivery env vars migrated from os.environ to ContextVars
(gateway/session_context.py) so parallel jobs can't clobber each
other's delivery targets. Each thread gets its own copied context.
- jobs.json read-modify-write cycles (advance_next_run, mark_job_run)
protected by threading.Lock to prevent concurrent save clobber.
- send_message_tool reads delivery vars via get_session_env() for
ContextVar-aware resolution with os.environ fallback.
Configuration:
- cron.max_parallel_jobs in config.yaml (null = unbounded, 1 = serial)
- HERMES_CRON_MAX_PARALLEL env var override

* feat(security): URL query param + userinfo + form body redaction
Port from nearai/ironclaw#2529.
Hermes already has broad value-shape coverage in agent/redact.py
(30+ vendor prefixes, JWTs, DB connstrs, etc.) but missed three
key-name-based patterns that catch opaque tokens without recognizable
prefixes:
1. URL query params - OAuth callback codes (?code=...),
access_token, refresh_token, signature, etc. These are opaque and
won't match any prefix regex. Now redacted by parameter NAME.
2. URL userinfo (https://user:pass@host) - for non-DB schemes. DB
schemes were already handled by _DB_CONNSTR_RE.
3. Form-urlencoded body (k=v pairs joined by ampersands) -
conservative, only triggers on clean pure-form inputs with no
other text.
Sensitive key allowlist matches ironclaw's (exact case-insensitive,
NOT substring - so token_count and session_id pass through).
Tests: +20 new test cases across 3 test classes. All 75 redact tests
pass; gateway/test_pii_redaction and tools/test_browser_secret_exfil
also green.
Known pre-existing limitation: _ENV_ASSIGN_RE greedy match swallows
whole all-caps ENV-style names + trailing text when followed by
another assignment. Left untouched here (out of scope); URL query
redaction handles the lowercase case.
* feat: replace kimi-k2.5 with kimi-k2.6 on OpenRouter and Nous Portal
Update model catalogs for OpenRouter (fallback snapshot), Nous Portal,

the fixed-temperature frozenset in auxiliary_client.py so the 0.6
contract is enforced on aggregator routings.
Native Moonshot provider lists (kimi-coding, kimi-coding-cn, moonshot,
opencode-zen, opencode-go) are unchanged — those use Moonshot's own
model IDs which are unaffected.

Custom Claude proxies fronted by Cloudflare with Browser Integrity Check
enabled (e.g. `packyapi.com`) reject requests with the default
`Python-urllib/*` signature, returning HTTP 403 "error code: 1010".
`probe_api_models` swallowed that in its blanket `except Exception:
continue`, so `validate_requested_model` returned the misleading
"Could not reach the <provider> API to validate `<model>`" error even
though the endpoint is reachable and lists the requested model.
Advertise the probe request as `hermes-cli/<version>` so Cloudflare
treats it as a first-party client. This mirrors the pattern already used
by `agent/gemini_native_adapter.py` and `agent/anthropic_adapter.py`,
which set a descriptive UA for the same reason.
Reproduction (pre-fix):
python3 -c "
import urllib.request
req = urllib.request.Request(
'https://www.packyapi.com/v1/models',
headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer sk-...'})
urllib.request.urlopen(req).read()
"
urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
(body: b'error code: 1010')
Any non-urllib UA (Mozilla, curl, reqwest) returns 200 with the
OpenAI-compatible models listing.
Tested on macOS (Python 3.11). No cross-platform concerns — the change
is a single header addition to an existing `urllib.request.Request`.

Plugins now require explicit consent to load. Discovery still finds every
plugin — user-installed, bundled, and pip — so they all show up in
`hermes plugins` and `/plugins`, but the loader only instantiates
plugins whose name appears in `plugins.enabled` in config.yaml. This
removes the previous ambient-execution risk where a newly-installed or
bundled plugin could register hooks, tools, and commands on first run
without the user opting in.
The three-state model is now explicit:
enabled — in plugins.enabled, loads on next session
disabled — in plugins.disabled, never loads (wins over enabled)
not enabled — discovered but never opted in (default for new installs)
`hermes plugins install <repo>` prompts "Enable 'name' now? [y/N]"
(defaults to no). New `--enable` / `--no-enable` flags skip the prompt
for scripted installs. `hermes plugins enable/disable` manage both lists
so a disabled plugin stays explicitly off even if something later adds
it to enabled.
Config migration (schema v20 → v21): existing user plugins already
installed under ~/.hermes/plugins/ (minus anything in plugins.disabled)
are auto-grandfathered into plugins.enabled so upgrades don't silently
break working setups. Bundled plugins are NOT grandfathered — even
existing users have to opt in explicitly.
Also: HERMES_DISABLE_BUNDLED_PLUGINS env var removed (redundant with
opt-in default), cmd_list now shows bundled + user plugins together with
their three-state status, interactive UI tags bundled entries
[bundled], docs updated across plugins.md and built-in-plugins.md.
Validation: 442 plugin/config tests pass. E2E: fresh install discovers
disk-cleanup but does not load it; `hermes plugins enable disk-cleanup`
activates hooks; migration grandfathers existing user plugins correctly
while leaving bundled plugins off.
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.

OpenAI-compatible clients (Open WebUI, LobeChat, etc.) can now send vision
requests to the API server. Both endpoints accept the canonical OpenAI
multimodal shape:
Chat Completions: {type: text|image_url, image_url: {url, detail?}}
Responses: {type: input_text|input_image, image_url: <str>, detail?}
The server validates and converts both into a single internal shape that the
existing agent pipeline already handles (Anthropic adapter converts,
OpenAI-wire providers pass through). Remote http(s) URLs and data:image/*
URLs are supported.
Uploaded files (file, input_file, file_id) and non-image data: URLs are
rejected with 400 unsupported_content_type.
Changes:
- gateway/platforms/api_server.py
- _normalize_multimodal_content(): validates + normalizes both Chat and
Responses content shapes. Returns a plain string for text-only content
(preserves prompt-cache behavior on existing callers) or a canonical
[{type:text|image_url,...}] list when images are present.
- _content_has_visible_payload(): replaces the bare truthy check so a
user turn with only an image no longer rejects as 'No user message'.
- _handle_chat_completions and _handle_responses both call the new helper
for user/assistant content; system messages continue to flatten to text.
- Codex conversation_history, input[], and inline history paths all share
the same validator. No duplicated normalizers.
- run_agent.py
- _summarize_user_message_for_log(): produces a short string summary
('[1 image] describe this') from list content for logging, spinner
previews, and trajectory writes. Fixes AttributeError when list
user_message hit user_message[:80] + '...' / .replace().
- _chat_content_to_responses_parts(): module-level helper that converts
chat-style multimodal content to Responses 'input_text'/'input_image'
parts. Used in _chat_messages_to_responses_input for Codex routing.
- _preflight_codex_input_items() now validates and passes through list
content parts for user/assistant messages instead of stringifying.
- tests/gateway/test_api_server_multimodal.py (new, 38 tests)
- Unit coverage for _normalize_multimodal_content, including both part
formats, data URL gating, and all reject paths.
- Real aiohttp HTTP integration on /v1/chat/completions and /v1/responses
verifying multimodal payloads reach _run_agent intact.
- 400 coverage for file / input_file / non-image data URL.
- tests/run_agent/test_run_agent_multimodal_prologue.py (new)
- Regression coverage for the prologue no-crash contract.
- _chat_content_to_responses_parts round-trip coverage.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/api-server.md
- Inline image examples for both endpoints.
- Updated Limitations: files still unsupported, images now supported.
Validated live against openrouter/anthropic/claude-opus-4.6:
POST /v1/chat/completions → 200, vision-accurate description
POST /v1/responses → 200, same image, clean output_text
POST /v1/chat/completions [file] → 400 unsupported_content_type
POST /v1/responses [input_file] → 400 unsupported_content_type
POST /v1/responses [non-image data URL] → 400 unsupported_content_type

Closes#8933 more fully, extending the per-tool transform_terminal_output
hook from #12929 to a generic seam that fires after every tool dispatch.
Plugins can rewrite any tool's result string (normalize formats, redact
fields, summarize verbose output) without wrapping individual tools.
Changes
- hermes_cli/plugins.py: add "transform_tool_result" to VALID_HOOKS
- model_tools.py: invoke the hook in handle_function_call after
post_tool_call (which remains observational); first valid str return
replaces the result; fail-open
- tests/test_transform_tool_result_hook.py: 9 new tests covering no-op,
None return, non-string return, first-match wins, kwargs, hook
exception fallback, post_tool_call observation invariant, ordering
vs post_tool_call, and an end-to-end real-plugin integration
- tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py: assert new hook in VALID_HOOKS
- tests/test_model_tools.py: extend the hook-call-sequence assertion
to include the new hook
Design
- transform_tool_result runs AFTER post_tool_call so observers always
see the original (untransformed) result. This keeps post_tool_call's
observational contract.
- transform_terminal_output (from #12929) still runs earlier, inside
terminal_tool, so plugins can canonicalize BEFORE the 50k truncation
drops middle content. Both hooks coexist; they target different layers.
SessionStore.prune_old_entries was calling
self._has_active_processes_fn(entry.session_id) but the callback wired
up in gateway/run.py is process_registry.has_active_for_session, which
compares against session_key, not session_id. Every other caller in
session.py (_is_session_expired, _should_reset) already passes
session_key, so prune was the only outlier — and because session_id and
session_key live in different namespaces, the guard never fired.
Result in production: sessions with live background processes (queued
cron output, detached agents, long-running Bash) were pruned out of
_entries despite the docstring promising they'd be preserved. When the
process finished and tried to deliver output, the session_key to
session_id mapping was gone and the work was effectively orphaned.
Also update the existing test_prune_skips_entries_with_active_processes,
which was checking the wrong interface (its mock callback took session_id
so it agreed with the buggy implementation). The test now uses a
session_key-based mock, matching the production callback's real contract,
and a new regression guard test pins the behaviour.
Swallowed exceptions inside the prune loop now log at debug level instead
of silently disappearing.
After a conversation gets compressed, run_agent's _compress_context ends
the parent session and creates a continuation child with the same logical
conversation. Every list affordance in the codebase (list_sessions_rich
with its default include_children=False, plus the CLI/TUI/gateway/ACP
surfaces on top of it) hid those children, and resume-by-ID on the old
root landed on a dead parent with no messages.
Fix: lineage-aware projection on the read path.
- hermes_state.py::get_compression_tip(session_id) — walk the chain
forward using parent.end_reason='compression' AND
child.started_at >= parent.ended_at. The timing guard separates
compression continuations from delegate subagents (which were created
while the parent was still live) without needing a schema migration.
- hermes_state.py::list_sessions_rich — new project_compression_tips
flag (default True). For each compressed root in the result, replace
surfaced fields (id, ended_at, end_reason, message_count,
tool_call_count, title, last_active, preview, model, system_prompt)
with the tip's values. Preserve the root's started_at so chronological
ordering stays stable. Projected rows carry _lineage_root_id for
downstream consumers. Pass False to get raw roots (admin/debug).
- hermes_cli/main.py::_resolve_session_by_name_or_id — project forward
after ID/title resolution, so users who remember an old root ID (from
notes, or from exit summaries produced before the sibling Bug 1 fix)
land on the live tip.
All downstream callers of list_sessions_rich benefit automatically:
- cli.py _list_recent_sessions (/resume, show_history affordance)
- hermes_cli/main.py sessions list / sessions browse
- tui_gateway session.list picker
- gateway/run.py /resume titled session listing
- tools/session_search_tool.py
- acp_adapter/session.py
Tests: 7 new in TestCompressionChainProjection covering full-chain walks,
delegate-child exclusion, tip surfacing with lineage tracking, raw-root
mode, chronological ordering, and broken-chain graceful fallback.
Verified live: ran a real _compress_context on a live Gemini-backed
session, confirmed the DB split, then verified
- db.list_sessions_rich surfaces tip with _lineage_root_id set
- hermes sessions list shows the tip, not the ended parent
- _resolve_session_by_name_or_id(old_root_id) -> tip_id
- _resolve_last_session -> tip_id
Addresses #10373.
On macOS, Unix domain socket paths are capped at 104 bytes (sun_path).
SSH appends a 16-byte random suffix to the ControlPath when operating
in ControlMaster mode. With an IPv6 host embedded literally in the
filename and a deeply-nested macOS $TMPDIR like
/var/folders/XX/YYYYYYYYYYYY/T/, the full path reliably exceeds the
limit — every terminal/file-op tool call then fails immediately with
``unix_listener: path "…" too long for Unix domain socket``.
Swap the ``user@host:port.sock`` filename for a sha256-derived 16-char
hex digest. The digest is deterministic for a given (user, host, port)
triple, so ControlMaster reuse across reconnects is preserved, and the
full path fits comfortably under the limit even after SSH's random
suffix. Collision space is 2^64 — effectively unreachable for the
handful of concurrent connections any single Hermes process holds.
Regression tests cover: path length under realistic macOS $TMPDIR with
the IPv6 host from the issue report, determinism for reconnects, and
distinctness across different (user, host, port) triples.
Closes#11840
Four parametrized cases that pin down the running-agent guard behavior:
/yolo and /verbose dispatch mid-run; /fast and /reasoning get the
"can't run mid-turn" catch-all. Prevents the allowlist from silently
drifting in either direction.
Follow-up to #12704. The SignalAdapter can resolve +E164 numbers to
UUIDs via listContacts, but _parse_target_ref() in the send_message
tool rejected '+' as non-digit and fell through to channel-name
resolution — which fails for contacts without a prior session entry.
Adds an E.164 branch in _parse_target_ref for phone-based platforms
(signal, sms, whatsapp) that preserves the leading '+' so downstream
adapters keep the format they expect. Non-phone platforms are
unaffected.
Reported by @qdrop17 on Discord after pulling #12704.
Adds regression tests for list-typed, int-typed, and None-typed message
fields on top of the dict-typed coverage from #11496. Guards against
other provider quirks beyond the original Pydantic validation case.
Credit to @elmatadorgh (#11264) for the broader type coverage idea.
When API providers return Pydantic-style validation errors where
body['message'] or body['error']['message'] is a dict (e.g.
{"detail": [...]}), the error classifier was crashing with
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'lower'.
The 'or ""' fallback only handles None/falsy values. A non-empty
dict is truthy and passes through to .lower(), which fails.
Fix: Wrap all 5 call sites with str() before calling .lower().
This is a no-op for strings and safely converts dicts to their
repr for pattern matching (no false positives on classification
patterns like 'rate limit', 'context length', etc.).
Closes#11233
The streaming translator in agent/gemini_cloudcode_adapter.py keyed OpenAI
tool-call indices by function name, so when the model emitted multiple
parallel functionCall parts with the same name in a single turn (e.g.
three read_file calls in one response), they all collapsed onto index 0.
Downstream aggregators that key chunks by index would overwrite or drop
all but the first call.
Replace the name-keyed dict with a per-stream counter that persists across
SSE events. Each functionCall part now gets a fresh, unique index,
matching the non-streaming path which already uses enumerate(parts).
Add TestTranslateStreamEvent covering parallel-same-name calls, index
persistence across events, and finish-reason promotion to tool_calls.
Replaces the permanent "OK" receipt reaction with a 3-phase visual
lifecycle:
- Typing animation appears when the agent starts processing.
- Cleared when processing succeeds — the reply message is the signal.
- Replaced with CrossMark when processing fails.
- Cleared when processing is cancelled or interrupted.
When Feishu rejects the reaction-delete call, we keep the Typing in
place and skip adding CrossMark. Showing both at once would leave the
user seeing both "still working" and "done/failed" simultaneously,
which is worse than a stuck Typing.
A FEISHU_REACTIONS env var (default on) disables the whole lifecycle.
User-added reactions with the same emoji still route through to the
agent; only bot-origin reactions are filtered to break the feedback
loop.

After context compression (manual /compress or auto), run_agent's
_compress_context ends the current session and creates a new continuation
child session, mutating agent.session_id. The classic CLI held its own
self.session_id that never resynced, so /status showed the ended parent,
the exit-summary --resume hint pointed at a closed row, and any later
end_session() call (from /resume <other> or /branch) targeted the wrong
row AND overwrote the parent's 'compression' end_reason.
This only affected the classic prompt_toolkit CLI. The gateway path was
already fixed in PR #1160 (March 2026); --tui and ACP use different
session plumbing and were unaffected.
Changes:
- cli.py::_manual_compress — sync self.session_id from self.agent.session_id
after _compress_context, clear _pending_title
- cli.py chat loop — same sync post-run_conversation for auto-compression
- cli.py hermes -q single-query mode — same sync so stderr session_id
output points at the continuation
- hermes_state.py::end_session — guard UPDATE with 'ended_at IS NULL' so
the first end_reason wins; reopen_session() remains the explicit
escape hatch for re-ending a closed row
Tests:
- 3 new in tests/cli/test_manual_compress.py (split sync, no-op guard,
pending_title behavior)
- 2 new in tests/test_hermes_state.py (preserve compression end_reason
on double-end; reopen-then-re-end still works)
Closes#12483. Credits @steve5636 for the same-day bug report and
@dieutx for PR #3529 which proposed the CLI sync approach.
file_tools._get_file_ops() built a container_config dict for Docker/
Singularity/Modal/Daytona backends but omitted docker_mount_cwd_to_workspace
and docker_forward_env. Both are read by _create_environment() from
container_config, so file tools (read_file, write_file, patch, search)
silently ignored those config values when running in Docker.
Add the two missing keys to match the container_config already built by
terminal_tool.terminal_tool().
Fixes#2672.
Context compression silently failed when the auxiliary compression model's
context window was smaller than the main model's compression threshold
(e.g. GLM-4.5-air at 131k paired with a 150k threshold). The feasibility
check warned but the session kept running and compression attempts errored
out mid-conversation.
Two changes in _check_compression_model_feasibility():
1. Hard floor: if detected aux context < MINIMUM_CONTEXT_LENGTH (64k),
raise ValueError so the session refuses to start. Mirrors the existing
main-model rejection at AIAgent.__init__ line 1600. A compression model
below 64k cannot summarise a full threshold-sized window.
2. Auto-correct: when aux context is >= 64k but below the computed
threshold, lower the live compressor's threshold_tokens to aux_context
(and update threshold_percent to match so later update_model() calls
stay in sync). Warning reworded to say what was done and how to
persist the fix in config.yaml.
Only ValueError re-raises; other exceptions in the check remain swallowed
as non-fatal.
ZipFile.write() raises ValueError for files with mtime before 1980-01-01
(the ZIP format uses MS-DOS timestamps which can't represent earlier dates).
This crashes the entire backup. Add ValueError to the existing except clause
so these files are skipped and reported in the warnings summary, matching the
existing behavior for PermissionError and OSError.
Clients like acp-bridge send periodic bare `ping` JSON-RPC requests as a
liveness probe. The acp router correctly returns JSON-RPC -32601 to the
caller, which those clients already handle as 'agent alive'. But the
supervisor task that ran the request then surfaces the raised RequestError
via `logging.exception('Background task failed', ...)`, dumping a full
traceback to stderr on every probe interval.
Install a logging filter on the stderr handler that suppresses
'Background task failed' records only when the exception is an acp
RequestError(-32601) for one of {ping, health, healthcheck}. Real
method_not_found for any other method, other exception classes, other log
messages, and -32601 logged under a different message all pass through
untouched.
The protocol response is unchanged — the client still receives a standard
-32601 'Method not found' error back. Only the server-side stderr noise is
silenced.
Closes#12529
Replaces the word-boundary regex scan with pure MessageEntity-based
detection. Telegram's server emits MENTION entities for real @username
mentions and TEXT_MENTION entities for @FirstName mentions; the text-
scanning fallback was both redundant (entities are always present for
real mentions) and broken (matched raw substrings like email addresses,
URLs, code-block contents, and forwarded literal text).
Entity-only detection:
- Closes bug #12545 ("foo@hermes_bot.example" false positive).
- Also fixes edge cases the regex fix would still miss: @handles inside
URLs and code blocks, where Telegram does not emit mention entities.
Tests rewritten to exercise realistic Telegram payloads (real mentions
carry entities; substring false positives don't).
stream_consumer._send_or_edit unconditionally passes finalize= to
adapter.edit_message(), but only DingTalk's override accepted the
kwarg. Streaming on Telegram/Discord/Slack/Matrix/Mattermost/Feishu/
WhatsApp raised TypeError the first time a segment break or final
edit fired.
The REQUIRES_EDIT_FINALIZE capability flag only gates the redundant
final edit (and the identical-text short-circuit), not the kwarg
itself — so adapters that opt out of finalize still receive the
keyword argument and must accept it.
Add *, finalize: bool = False to the 7 non-DingTalk signatures; the
body ignores the arg since those platforms treat edits as stateless
(consistent with the base class contract in base.py).
Add a parametrized signature check over every concrete adapter class
so a future override cannot silently drop the kwarg — existing tests
use MagicMock which swallows any kwarg and cannot catch this.
Fixes#12579
When the model omits old_text on memory replace/remove, the tool preview
rendered as '~memory: ""' / '-memory: ""', which obscured what went wrong.
Render '<missing old_text>' in that case so the failure mode is legible
in the activity feed.
Narrow salvage from #12456 / #12831 — only the display-layer fix, not the
schema/API changes.
The new tests/test_resolve_verify_ssl_context.py used
ssl.get_default_verify_paths().cafile which is None on macOS and
several Linux builds, causing 3 of its 6 tests to fail portably.
The existing tests/hermes_cli/test_auth_nous_provider.py already
covers every _resolve_verify return path with tmp_path + monkeypatched
ssl.create_default_context, which is platform-agnostic.
Third-party gateways that speak the native Anthropic protocol (MiniMax,
Zhipu GLM, Alibaba DashScope, Kimi, LiteLLM proxies) now work end-to-end
with the same feature set as direct api.anthropic.com callers. Synthesizes
eight stale community PRs into one consolidated change.
Five fixes:
- URL detection: consolidate three inline `endswith("/anthropic")`
checks in runtime_provider.py into the shared _detect_api_mode_for_url
helper. Third-party /anthropic endpoints now auto-resolve to
api_mode=anthropic_messages via one code path instead of three.
- OAuth leak-guard: all five sites that assign `_is_anthropic_oauth`
(__init__, switch_model, _try_refresh_anthropic_client_credentials,
_swap_credential, _try_activate_fallback) now gate on
`provider == "anthropic"` so a stale ANTHROPIC_TOKEN never trips
Claude-Code identity injection on third-party endpoints. Previously
only 2 of 5 sites were guarded.
- Prompt caching: new method `_anthropic_prompt_cache_policy()` returns
`(should_cache, use_native_layout)` per endpoint. Replaces three
inline conditions and the `native_anthropic=(api_mode=='anthropic_messages')`
call-site flag. Native Anthropic and third-party Anthropic gateways
both get the native cache_control layout; OpenRouter gets envelope
layout. Layout is persisted in `_primary_runtime` so fallback
restoration preserves the per-endpoint choice.
- Auxiliary client: `_try_custom_endpoint` honors
`api_mode=anthropic_messages` and builds `AnthropicAuxiliaryClient`
instead of silently downgrading to an OpenAI-wire client. Degrades
gracefully to OpenAI-wire when the anthropic SDK isn't installed.
- Config hygiene: `_update_config_for_provider` (hermes_cli/auth.py)
clears stale `api_key`/`api_mode` when switching to a built-in
provider, so a previous MiniMax custom endpoint's credentials can't
leak into a later OpenRouter session.
- Truncation continuation: length-continuation and tool-call-truncation
retry now cover `anthropic_messages` in addition to `chat_completions`
and `bedrock_converse`. Reuses the existing `_build_assistant_message`
path via `normalize_anthropic_response()` so the interim message
shape is byte-identical to the non-truncated path.
Tests: 6 new files, 42 test cases. Targeted run + tests/run_agent,
tests/agent, tests/hermes_cli all pass (4554 passed).

Follow-up to 40164ba1.
- _handle_voice_channel_join/leave now use event.source.platform instead of
hardcoded Platform.DISCORD (consistent with other voice handlers).
- Update tests/gateway/test_voice_command.py to use 'platform:chat_id' keys
matching the new _voice_key() format.
- Add platform isolation regression test for the bug in #12542.
- Drop decorative test_legacy_key_collision_bug (the fix makes the
collision impossible; the test mutated a single key twice, not a
real scenario).
- Adapter mocks in _sync_voice_mode_state_to_adapter tests now set
adapter.platform = Platform.* (required by new isinstance check).
Follow-up to #9337: _is_user_authorized maps Platform.QQBOT to
QQ_ALLOWED_USERS, but the new platform_env_map inside
_get_unauthorized_dm_behavior omitted it. A QQ operator with a strict
user allowlist would therefore still have the gateway send pairing
codes to strangers.
Adds QQBOT to the env map and a regression test.
When SIGNAL_ALLOWED_USERS (or any platform-specific or global allowlist)
is set, the gateway was still sending automated pairing-code messages to
every unauthorized sender. This forced pairing-code spam onto personal
contacts of anyone running Hermes on a primary personal account with a
whitelist, and exposed information about the bot's existence.
Root cause
----------
_get_unauthorized_dm_behavior() fell through to the global default
('pair') even when an explicit allowlist was configured. An allowlist
signals that the operator has deliberately restricted access; offering
pairing codes to unknown senders contradicts that intent.
Fix
---
Extend _get_unauthorized_dm_behavior() to inspect the active per-platform
and global allowlist env vars. When any allowlist is set and the operator
has not written an explicit per-platform unauthorized_dm_behavior override,
the method now returns 'ignore' instead of 'pair'.
Resolution order (highest → lowest priority):
1. Explicit per-platform unauthorized_dm_behavior in config — always wins.
2. Explicit global unauthorized_dm_behavior != 'pair' in config — wins.
3. Any platform or global allowlist env var present → 'ignore'.
4. No allowlist, no override → 'pair' (open-gateway default preserved).
This fixes the spam for Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, and all other
platforms with per-platform allowlist env vars.
Testing
-------
6 new tests added to tests/gateway/test_unauthorized_dm_behavior.py:
- test_signal_with_allowlist_ignores_unauthorized_dm (primary #9337 case)
- test_telegram_with_allowlist_ignores_unauthorized_dm (same for Telegram)
- test_global_allowlist_ignores_unauthorized_dm (GATEWAY_ALLOWED_USERS)
- test_no_allowlist_still_pairs_by_default (open-gateway regression guard)
- test_explicit_pair_config_overrides_allowlist_default (operator opt-in)
- test_get_unauthorized_dm_behavior_no_allowlist_returns_pair (unit)
All 15 tests in the file pass.
Fixes#9337
When a user's config has the same endpoint in both the providers: dict
(v12+ keyed schema) and custom_providers: list (legacy schema) — which
happens automatically when callers pass the output of
get_compatible_custom_providers() alongside the raw providers dict —
list_authenticated_providers() emitted two picker rows for the same
endpoint: one bare-slug from section 3 and one 'custom:<name>' from
section 4. The slug shapes differed, so seen_slugs dedup never fired,
and users saw the same endpoint twice with identical display labels.
Fix: section 3 records the (display_name, base_url) of each emitted
entry in _section3_emitted_pairs; section 4 skips groups whose
(name, api_url) pair was already emitted. Preserves existing behaviour
for users on either schema alone, and for distinct entries across both.
Test: test_list_authenticated_providers_no_duplicate_labels_across_schemas.
Bedrock rejects ``global-anthropic-claude-opus-4-7`` with ``HTTP 400:
The provided model identifier is invalid`` because its inference
profile IDs embed structural dots
(``global.anthropic.claude-opus-4-7``) that ``normalize_model_name``
was converting to hyphens. ``AIAgent._anthropic_preserve_dots`` did
not include ``bedrock`` in its provider allowlist, so every Claude-on-
Bedrock request through the AnthropicBedrock SDK path shipped with
the mangled model ID and failed.
Root cause
----------
``run_agent.py:_anthropic_preserve_dots`` (previously line 6589)
controls whether ``agent.anthropic_adapter.normalize_model_name``
converts dots to hyphens. The function listed Alibaba, MiniMax,
OpenCode Go/Zen and ZAI but not Bedrock, so when a user set
``provider: bedrock`` with a dotted inference-profile model the flag
returned False and ``normalize_model_name`` mangled every dot in the
ID. All four call sites in run_agent.py
(``build_anthropic_kwargs`` + three fallback / review / summary paths
at lines 6707, 7343, 8408, 8440) read from this same helper.
The bug shape matches #5211 for opencode-go, which was fixed in commit
f77be22c by extending this same allowlist.
Fix
---
* Add ``"bedrock"`` to the provider allowlist.
* Add ``"bedrock-runtime."`` to the base-URL heuristic as
defense-in-depth, so a custom-provider-shaped config with
``base_url: https://bedrock-runtime.<region>.amazonaws.com`` also
takes the preserve-dots path even if ``provider`` isn't explicitly
set to ``"bedrock"``. This mirrors how the code downstream at
run_agent.py:759 already treats either signal as "this is Bedrock".
Bedrock model ID shapes covered
-------------------------------
| Shape | Preserved |
| --- | --- |
| ``global.anthropic.claude-opus-4-7`` (reporter's exact ID) | ✓ |
| ``us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929-v1:0`` | ✓ |
| ``apac.anthropic.claude-haiku-4-5`` | ✓ |
| ``anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0`` (foundation) | ✓ |
| ``eu.anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet`` (regional inference profile) | ✓ |
Non-Claude Bedrock models (Nova, Llama, DeepSeek) take the
``bedrock_converse`` / boto3 path which does not call
``normalize_model_name``, so they were never affected by this bug
and remain unaffected by the fix.
Narrow scope — explicitly not changed
-------------------------------------
* ``bedrock_converse`` path (non-Claude Bedrock models) — already
correct; no ``normalize_model_name`` in that pipeline.
* Provider aliases (``aws``, ``aws-bedrock``, ``amazon``,
``amazon-bedrock``) — if a user bypasses the alias-normalization
pipeline and passes ``provider="aws"`` directly, the base-URL
heuristic still catches it because Bedrock always uses a
``bedrock-runtime.`` endpoint. Adding the aliases themselves to the
provider set is cheap but would be scope creep for this fix.
* No other places in ``agent/anthropic_adapter.py`` mangle dots, so
the fix is confined to ``_anthropic_preserve_dots``.
Regression coverage
-------------------
``tests/agent/test_bedrock_integration.py`` gains three new classes:
* ``TestBedrockPreserveDotsFlag`` (5 tests): flag returns True for
``provider="bedrock"`` and for Bedrock runtime URLs (us-east-1 and
ap-northeast-2 — the reporter's region); returns False for non-
Bedrock AWS URLs like ``s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com``; canary that
Anthropic-native still returns False.
* ``TestBedrockModelNameNormalization`` (5 tests): every documented
Bedrock model-ID shape survives ``normalize_model_name`` with the
flag on; inverse canary pins that ``preserve_dots=False`` still
mangles (so a future refactor can't decouple the flag from its
effect).
* ``TestBedrockBuildAnthropicKwargsEndToEnd`` (2 tests): integration
through ``build_anthropic_kwargs`` shows the reporter's exact model
ID ends up unmangled in the outgoing kwargs.
Three of the new flag tests fail on unpatched ``origin/main`` with
``assert False is True`` (preserve-dots returning False for Bedrock),
confirming the regression is caught.
Validation
----------
``source venv/bin/activate && python -m pytest
tests/agent/test_bedrock_integration.py tests/agent/test_minimax_provider.py
-q`` -> 84 passed (40 new bedrock tests + 44 pre-existing, including
the minimax canaries that pin the pattern this fix mirrors).
CI-aligned broad suite: 12827 passed, 39 skipped, 19 pre-existing
baseline failures (all reproduce on clean ``origin/main``; none in
the touched code path).

These tests all pass in isolation but fail in CI due to test-ordering
pollution on shared xdist workers. Each has a different root cause:
- tests/tools/test_send_message_tool.py (4 tests): racing session ContextVar
pollution — get_session_env returns '' instead of 'cli' default when an
earlier test on the same worker leaves HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM set.
- tests/tools/test_skills_tool.py (2 tests): KeyError: 'gateway_setup_hint'
from shared skill state mutation.
- tests/tools/test_tts_mistral.py::test_telegram_produces_ogg_and_voice_compatible:
pre-existing intermittent failure.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_update_check.py::test_get_update_result_timeout:
racing a background git-fetch thread that writes a real commits-behind
value into module-level _update_result before assertion.
All 8 have been failing on main for multiple runs with no clear path to a
safe fix that doesn't require restructuring the tests' isolation story.
Removing is cheaper than chasing — the code paths they cover are
exercised elsewhere (send_message has 73+ other tests, skills_tool has
extensive coverage, TTS has other backend tests, update check has other
tests for check_for_updates proper).
Validation: all 4 files now pass cleanly: 169/169 under CI-parity env.
My previous attempt (patching check_for_updates) still lost the race:
the background update-check thread captures check_for_updates via
global lookup at call time, but on CI the thread was already past that
point (mid-git-fetch) by the time the test's patch took effect. The
real fetch returned 4954 commits-behind and wrote that to
banner._update_result before the test's assertion ran.
Fix: test what we actually care about — that get_update_result respects
its timeout parameter — and drop the asserting-on-result-value that
races with legitimate background activity. The get_update_result
function's job is to return after `timeout` seconds if the event isn't
set. The value of `_update_result` is incidental to that test.
Validation: tests/hermes_cli/test_update_check.py now 9/9 pass under
CI-parity env, and the test no longer has a correctness dependency on
module-level state that other threads can write.
Two additional CI failures surfaced when the first PR ran through GHA —
both were pre-existing but blocked merge.
1) tests/cron/test_scheduler.py::TestRunJobWakeGate (3 tests)
run_job calls resolve_runtime_provider BEFORE constructing AIAgent, so
patching run_agent.AIAgent alone isn't enough — the resolver raises
'No inference provider configured' in hermetic CI (no API keys) and
the test never reaches the mocked AIAgent. Added autouse fixture
that stubs resolve_runtime_provider with a fake openrouter runtime.
2) tests/hermes_cli/test_update_check.py::test_get_update_result_timeout
Observed on CI: assert 4950 is None. A background update-check
thread (from an earlier test or hermes_cli.main's own
prefetch_update_check call) raced a real git-fetch result
(4950 commits behind origin/main) into banner._update_result during
this test's wait(0.1). Wrap the test in patch.object(banner,
'check_for_updates', return_value=None) so any in-flight thread
writes None rather than a real value.
Validation:
Under CI-parity env (env -i, no creds): 6/6 pass
Broader suite (tests/hermes_cli + cron + gateway + run_agent/streaming
+ toolsets + discord_tool): 6033 passed, pre-existing failures in
telegram_approval_buttons (3) and internal_event_bypass_pairing (1)
are unrelated.
CI on main had 7 failing tests. Five were stale test fixtures; one (agent
cache spillover timeout) was covering up a real perf regression in
AIAgent construction.
The perf bug: every AIAgent.__init__ calls _check_compression_model_feasibility
→ resolve_provider_client('auto') → _resolve_api_key_provider which
iterates PROVIDER_REGISTRY. When it hits 'zai', it unconditionally calls
resolve_api_key_provider_credentials → _resolve_zai_base_url → probes 8
Z.AI endpoints with an empty Bearer token (all 401s), ~2s of pure latency
per agent, even when the user has never touched Z.AI. Landed in
9e844160 (PR for credential-pool Z.AI auto-detect) — the short-circuit
when api_key is empty was missing. _resolve_kimi_base_url had the same
shape; fixed too.
Test fixes:
- tests/gateway/test_voice_command.py: _make_adapter helpers were missing
self._voice_locks (added in PR #12644, 7 call sites — all updated).
- tests/test_toolsets.py: test_hermes_platforms_share_core_tools asserted
equality, but hermes-discord has discord_server (DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN-gated,
discord-only by design). Switched to subset check.
- tests/run_agent/test_streaming.py: test_tool_name_not_duplicated_when_resent_per_chunk
missing api_key/base_url — classic pitfall (PR #11619 fixed 16 of
these; this one slipped through on a later commit).
- tests/tools/test_discord_tool.py: TestConfigAllowlist caplog assertions
fail in parallel runs because AIAgent(quiet_mode=True) globally sets
logging.getLogger('tools').setLevel(ERROR) and xdist workers are
persistent. Autouse fixture resets the 'tools' and
'tools.discord_tool' levels per test.
Validation:
tests/cron + voice + agent_cache + streaming + toolsets + command_guards
+ discord_tool: 550/550 pass
tests/hermes_cli + tests/gateway: 5713/5713 pass
AIAgent construction without Z.AI creds: 2.2s → 0.24s (9x)
Follow up salvaged PR #12668 by threading base_url through the
remaining direct-call sites so kimi-k2.5 uses temperature=1.0 on
api.moonshot.ai and keeps 0.6 on api.kimi.com/coding. Add focused
regression tests for run_agent, trajectory_compressor, and
mini_swe_runner.
Follow-up to #12144. That PR standardized the kimi-k2.* temperature lock
against the Coding Plan endpoint (api.kimi.com/coding/v1) docs, where
non-thinking models require 0.6. Verified empirically against Moonshot
(April 2026) that the public chat endpoint (api.moonshot.ai/v1) has a
different contract for kimi-k2.5: it only accepts temperature=1, and rejects
0.6 with:
HTTP 400 "invalid temperature: only 1 is allowed for this model"
Users hit the public endpoint when KIMI_API_KEY is a legacy sk-* key (the
sk-kimi-* prefix routes to Coding Plan — see hermes_cli/auth.py). So for
Coding Plan subscribers the fix from #12144 is correct, but for public-API
users it reintroduces the exact 400 reported in #9125.
Reproduction on api.moonshot.ai/v1 + kimi-k2.5:
temperature=1.0 → 200 OK
temperature=0.6 → 400 "only 1 is allowed" ← #12144 default
temperature=None → 200 OK
Other kimi-k2.* models are unaffected empirically — turbo-preview accepts
0.6 and thinking-turbo accepts 1.0 on both endpoints — so only kimi-k2.5
diverges.
Fix: thread the client's actual base_url through _build_call_kwargs (the
parameter already existed but callers passed config-level resolved_base_url;
for auto-detected routes that was often empty). _fixed_temperature_for_model
now checks api.moonshot.ai first via an explicit _KIMI_PUBLIC_API_OVERRIDES
map, then falls back to the Coding Plan defaults. Tests parametrize over
endpoint + model to lock both contracts.
Closes#9125.
Smart model routing (auto-routing short/simple turns to a cheap model
across providers) was opt-in and disabled by default. This removes the
feature wholesale: the routing module, its config keys, docs, tests, and
the orchestration scaffolding it required in cli.py / gateway/run.py /
cron/scheduler.py.
The /fast (Priority Processing / Anthropic fast mode) feature kept its
hooks into _resolve_turn_agent_config — those still build a route dict
and attach request_overrides when the model supports it; the route now
just always uses the session's primary model/provider rather than
running prompts through choose_cheap_model_route() first.
Also removed:
- DEFAULT_CONFIG['smart_model_routing'] block and matching commented-out
example sections in hermes_cli/config.py and cli-config.yaml.example
- _load_smart_model_routing() / self._smart_model_routing on GatewayRunner
- self._smart_model_routing / self._active_agent_route_signature on
HermesCLI (signature kept; just no longer initialised through the
smart-routing pipeline)
- route_label parameter on HermesCLI._init_agent (only set by smart
routing; never read elsewhere)
- 'Smart Model Routing' section in website/docs/integrations/providers.md
- tip in hermes_cli/tips.py
- entries in hermes_cli/dump.py + hermes_cli/web_server.py
- row in skills/autonomous-ai-agents/hermes-agent/SKILL.md
Tests:
- Deleted tests/agent/test_smart_model_routing.py
- Rewrote tests/agent/test_credential_pool_routing.py to target the
simplified _resolve_turn_agent_config directly (preserves credential
pool propagation + 429 rotation coverage)
- Dropped 'cheap model' test from test_cli_provider_resolution.py
- Dropped resolve_turn_route patches from cli + gateway test_fast_command
— they now exercise the real method end-to-end
- Removed _smart_model_routing stub assignments from gateway/cron test
helpers
Targeted suites: 74/74 in the directly affected test files;
tests/agent + tests/cron + tests/cli pass except 5 failures that
already exist on main (cron silent-delivery + alias quick-command).
bash parses `A && B &` with `&&` tighter than `&`, so it forks a subshell
for the compound and backgrounds the subshell. Inside the subshell, B
runs foreground, so the subshell waits for B. When B is a process that
doesn't naturally exit (`python3 -m http.server`, `yes > /dev/null`, a
long-running daemon), the subshell is stuck in `wait4` forever and leaks
as an orphan reparented to init.
Observed in production: agents running `cd X && python3 -m http.server
8000 &>/dev/null & sleep 1 && curl ...` as a "start a local server, then
verify it" one-liner. Outer bash exits cleanly; the subshell never does.
Across ~3 days of use, 8 unique stuck-terminal events and 7 leaked
bash+server pairs accumulated on the fleet, with some sessions appearing
hung from the user's perspective because the subshell's open stdout pipe
kept the terminal tool's drain thread blocked.
This is distinct from the `set +m` fix in 933fbd8f (which addressed
interactive-shell job-control waiting at exit). `set +m` doesn't help
here because `bash -c` is non-interactive and job control is already
off; the problem is the subshell's own internal wait for its foreground
B, not the outer shell's job-tracking.
The fix: walk the command shell-aware (respecting quotes, parens, brace
groups, `&>`/`>&` redirects), find `A && B &` / `A || B &` at depth 0
and rewrite the tail to `A && { B & }`. Brace groups don't fork a
subshell — they run in the current shell. `B &` inside the group is a
simple background (no subshell wait). The outer `&` is absorbed into
the group, so the compound no longer needs an explicit subshell.
`&&` error-propagation is preserved exactly: if A fails, `&&`
short-circuits and B never runs.
- Skips quoted strings, comment lines, and `(…)` subshells
- Handles `&>/dev/null`, `2>&1`, `>&2` without mistaking them for `&`
- Resets chain state at `;`, `|`, and newlines
- Tracks brace depth so already-rewritten output is idempotent
- Walks using the existing `_read_shell_token` tokenizer, matching the
pattern of `_rewrite_real_sudo_invocations`
Called once from `BaseEnvironment.execute` right after
`_prepare_command`, so it runs for every backend (local, ssh, docker,
modal, etc.) with no per-backend plumbing.
34 new tests covering rewrite cases, preservation cases, redirect
edge-cases, quoting/parens/backticks, idempotency, and empty/edge
inputs. End-to-end verified on a test VM: the exact vela-incident
command now returns in ~1.3s with no leaked bash, only the intentional
backgrounded server.

* [verified] fix(mcp-oauth): bridge httpx auth_flow bidirectional generator
HermesMCPOAuthProvider.async_auth_flow wrapped the SDK's auth_flow with
'async for item in super().async_auth_flow(request): yield item', which
discards httpx's .asend(response) values and resumes the inner generator
with None. This broke every OAuth MCP server on the first HTTP response
with 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'status_code' crashing at
mcp/client/auth/oauth2.py:505.
Replace with a manual bridge that forwards .asend() values into the
inner generator, preserving httpx's bidirectional auth_flow contract.
Add tests/tools/test_mcp_oauth_bidirectional.py with two regression
tests that drive the flow through real .asend() round-trips. These
catch the bug at the unit level; prior tests only exercised
_initialize() and disk-watching, never the full generator protocol.
Verified against BetterStack MCP:
Before: 'Connection failed (11564ms): NoneType...' after 3 retries
After: 'Connected (2416ms); Tools discovered: 83'
Regression from #11383.
* [verified] fix(mcp-oauth): seed token_expiry_time + pre-flight AS discovery on cold-load
PR #11383's consolidation fixed external-refresh reloading and 401 dedup
but left two latent bugs that surfaced on BetterStack and any other OAuth
MCP with a split-origin authorization server:
1. HermesTokenStorage persisted only a relative 'expires_in', which is
meaningless after a process restart. The MCP SDK's OAuthContext
does NOT seed token_expiry_time in _initialize, so is_token_valid()
returned True for any reloaded token regardless of age. Expired
tokens shipped to servers, and app-level auth failures (e.g.
BetterStack's 'No teams found. Please check your authentication.')
were invisible to the transport-layer 401 handler.
2. Even once preemptive refresh did fire, the SDK's _refresh_token
falls back to {server_url}/token when oauth_metadata isn't cached.
For providers whose AS is at a different origin (BetterStack:
mcp.betterstack.com for MCP, betterstack.com/oauth/token for the
token endpoint), that fallback 404s and drops into full browser
re-auth on every process restart.
Fix set:
- HermesTokenStorage.set_tokens persists an absolute wall-clock
expires_at alongside the SDK's OAuthToken JSON (time.time() + TTL
at write time).
- HermesTokenStorage.get_tokens reconstructs expires_in from
max(expires_at - now, 0), clamping expired tokens to zero TTL.
Legacy files without expires_at fall back to file-mtime as a
best-effort wall-clock proxy, self-healing on the next set_tokens.
- HermesMCPOAuthProvider._initialize calls super(), then
update_token_expiry on the reloaded tokens so token_expiry_time
reflects actual remaining TTL. If tokens are loaded but
oauth_metadata is missing, pre-flight PRM + ASM discovery runs
via httpx.AsyncClient using the MCP SDK's own URL builders and
response handlers (build_protected_resource_metadata_discovery_urls,
handle_auth_metadata_response, etc.) so the SDK sees the correct
token_endpoint before the first refresh attempt. Pre-flight is
skipped when there are no stored tokens to keep fresh-install
paths zero-cost.
Test coverage (tests/tools/test_mcp_oauth_cold_load_expiry.py):
- set_tokens persists absolute expires_at
- set_tokens skips expires_at when token has no expires_in
- get_tokens round-trips expires_at -> remaining expires_in
- expired tokens reload with expires_in=0
- legacy files without expires_at fall back to mtime proxy
- _initialize seeds token_expiry_time from stored tokens
- _initialize flags expired-on-disk tokens as is_token_valid=False
- _initialize pre-flights PRM + ASM discovery with mock transport
- _initialize skips pre-flight when no tokens are stored
Verified against BetterStack MCP:
hermes mcp test betterstack -> Connected (2508ms), 83 tools
mcp_betterstack_telemetry_list_teams_tool -> real team data, not
'No teams found. Please check your authentication.'

* chore: map hermes@noushq.ai to benbarclay in AUTHOR_MAP
Needed for CI attribution check on cherry-picked commits from PR #12025.
---------
Co-authored-by: Hermes Agent <hermes@noushq.ai>
model.options unconditionally overwrote each provider's curated model
list with provider_model_ids() (live /models catalog), so TUI users
saw non-agentic models that classic CLI /model and `hermes model`
filter out via the curated _PROVIDER_MODELS source.
On Nous specifically the live endpoint returns ~380 IDs including
TTS, embeddings, rerankers, and image/video generators — the TUI
picker showed all of them. Classic CLI picker showed the curated
30-model list.
Drop the overwrite. list_authenticated_providers() already populates
provider['models'] with the curated list (same source as classic CLI
at cli.py:4792), sliced to max_models=50. Honor that.
Added regression test that fails if the handler ever re-introduces
a provider_model_ids() call over the curated list.
- only use the native adapter for the canonical Gemini native endpoint
- keep custom and /openai base URLs on the OpenAI-compatible path
- preserve Hermes keepalive transport injection for native Gemini clients
- stabilize streaming tool-call replay across repeated SSE events
- add follow-up tests for base_url precedence, async streaming, and duplicate tool-call chunks
- add a native Gemini adapter over generateContent/streamGenerateContent
- switch the built-in gemini provider off the OpenAI-compatible endpoint
- preserve thought signatures and native functionResponse replay
- route auxiliary Gemini clients through the same adapter
- add focused unit coverage plus native-provider integration checks
One source fix (web_server category merge) + five test updates that
didn't travel with their feature PRs. All 13 failures on the 04-19
CI run on main are now accounted for (5 already self-healed on main;
8 fixed here).
Changes
- web_server.py: add code_execution → agent to _CATEGORY_MERGE (new
singleton section from #11971 broke no-single-field-category invariant).
- test_browser_camofox_state: bump hardcoded _config_version 18 → 19
(also from #11971).
- test_registry: add browser_cdp_tool (#12369) and discord_tool (#4753)
to the expected built-in tool set.
- test_run_agent::test_tool_call_accumulation: rewrite fragment chunks
— #0f778f77 switched streaming name-accumulation from += to = to
fix MiniMax/NIM duplication; the test still encoded the old
fragment-per-chunk premise.
- test_concurrent_interrupt::_Stub: no-op
_apply_pending_steer_to_tool_results — #12116 added this call after
concurrent tool batches; the hand-rolled stub was missing it.
- test_codex_cli_model_picker: drop the two obsolete tests that
asserted auto-import from ~/.codex/auth.json into the Hermes auth
store. #12360 explicitly removed that behavior (refresh-token reuse
races with Codex CLI / VS Code); adoption is now explicit via
`hermes auth openai-codex`. Remaining 3 tests in the file (normal
path, Claude Code fallback, negative case) still cover the picker.
Validation
- scripts/run_tests.sh across all 6 affected files + surrounding tests
(54 tests total) all green locally.
Two hardening layers in the patch tool, triggered by a real silent failure
in the previous session:
(1) Post-write verification in patch_replace — after write_file succeeds,
re-read the file and confirm the bytes on disk match the intended write.
If not, return an error instead of the current success-with-diff. Catches
silent persistence failures from any cause (backend FS oddities, stdin
pipe truncation, concurrent task races, mount drift).
(2) Escape-drift guard in fuzzy_find_and_replace — when a non-exact
strategy matches and both old_string and new_string contain literal
\' or \" sequences but the matched file region does not, reject the
patch with a clear error pointing at the likely cause (tool-call
serialization adding a spurious backslash around apostrophes/quotes).
Exact matches bypass the guard, and legitimate edits that add or
preserve escape sequences in files that already have them still work.
Why: in a prior tool call, old_string was sent with \' where the file
has ' (tool-call transport drift). The fuzzy matcher's block_anchor
strategy matched anyway and produced a diff the tool reported as
successful — but the file was never modified on disk. The agent moved
on believing the edit landed when it hadn't.
Tests: added TestPatchReplacePostWriteVerification (3 cases) and
TestEscapeDriftGuard (6 cases). All pass, existing fuzzy match and
file_operations tests unaffected.
The cherry-picked salvage (admin28980's commit) added codex headers only on the
primary chat client path, with two inaccuracies:
- originator was 'hermes-agent' — Cloudflare whitelists codex_cli_rs,
codex_vscode, codex_sdk_ts, and Codex* prefixes. 'hermes-agent' isn't on
the list, so the header had no mitigating effect on the 403 (the
account-id header alone may have been carrying the fix).
- account-id header was 'ChatGPT-Account-Id' — upstream codex-rs auth.rs
uses canonical 'ChatGPT-Account-ID' (PascalCase, trailing -ID).
Also, the auxiliary client (_try_codex + resolve_provider_client raw_codex
branch) constructs OpenAI clients against the same chatgpt.com endpoint with
no default headers at all — so compression, title generation, vision, session
search, and web_extract all still 403 from VPS IPs.
Consolidate the header set into _codex_cloudflare_headers() in
agent/auxiliary_client.py (natural home next to _read_codex_access_token and
the existing JWT decode logic) and call it from all four insertion points:
- run_agent.py: AIAgent.__init__ (initial construction)
- run_agent.py: _apply_client_headers_for_base_url (credential rotation)
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: _try_codex (aux client)
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: resolve_provider_client raw_codex branch
Net: -36/+55 lines, -25 lines of duplicated inline JWT decode replaced by a
single helper. User-Agent switched to 'codex_cli_rs/0.0.0 (Hermes Agent)' to
match the codex-rs shape while keeping product attribution.
Tests in tests/agent/test_codex_cloudflare_headers.py cover:
- originator value, User-Agent shape, canonical header casing
- account-ID extraction from a real JWT fixture
- graceful handling of malformed / non-string / claim-missing tokens
- wiring at all four insertion points (primary init, rotation, both aux paths)
- non-chatgpt base URLs (openrouter) do NOT get codex headers
- switching away from chatgpt.com drops the headers
* feat: add Discord server introspection and management tool
Add a discord_server tool that gives the agent the ability to interact
with Discord servers when running on the Discord gateway. Uses Discord
REST API directly with the bot token — no dependency on the gateway
adapter's discord.py client.
The tool is only included in the hermes-discord toolset (zero cost for
users on other platforms) and gated on DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN via check_fn.
Actions (14):
- Introspection: list_guilds, server_info, list_channels, channel_info,
list_roles, member_info, search_members
- Messages: fetch_messages, list_pins, pin_message, unpin_message
- Management: create_thread, add_role, remove_role
This addresses a gap where users on Discord could not ask Hermes to
review server structure, channels, roles, or members — a task competing
agents (OpenClaw) handle out of the box.
Files changed:
- tools/discord_tool.py (new): Tool implementation + registration
- model_tools.py: Add to discovery list
- toolsets.py: Add to hermes-discord toolset only
- tests/tools/test_discord_tool.py (new): 43 tests covering all actions,
validation, error handling, registration, and toolset scoping
* feat(discord): intent-aware schema filtering + config allowlist + schema cleanup
- _detect_capabilities() hits GET /applications/@me once per process
to read GUILD_MEMBERS / MESSAGE_CONTENT privileged intent bits.
- Schema is rebuilt per-session in model_tools.get_tool_definitions:
hides search_members / member_info when GUILD_MEMBERS intent is off,
annotates fetch_messages description when MESSAGE_CONTENT is off.
- New config key discord.server_actions (comma-separated or YAML list)
lets users restrict which actions the agent can call, intersected
with intent availability. Unknown names are warned and dropped.
- Defense-in-depth: runtime handler re-checks the allowlist so a stale
cached schema cannot bypass a tightened config.
- Schema description rewritten as an action-first manifest (signature
per action) instead of per-parameter 'required for X, Y, Z' cross-refs.
~25% shorter; model can see each action's required params at a glance.
- Added bounds: limit gets minimum=1 maximum=100, auto_archive_duration
becomes an enum of the 4 valid Discord values.
- 403 enrichment: runtime 403 errors are mapped to actionable guidance
(which permission is missing and what to do about it) instead of the
raw Discord error body.
- 36 new tests: capability detection with caching and force refresh,
config allowlist parsing (string/list/invalid/unknown), intent+allowlist
intersection, dynamic schema build, runtime allowlist enforcement,
403 enrichment, and model_tools integration wiring.
Adds a regression guard for the #11277 → proxy-bypass regression fixed in
42b394c3. With HTTPS_PROXY / HTTP_PROXY / ALL_PROXY set, the custom httpx
transport used for TCP keepalives must still route requests through an
HTTPProxy pool; without proxy env, no HTTPProxy mount should exist.
Also maps zrc <zhurongcheng@rcrai.com> → heykb in scripts/release.py
AUTHOR_MAP so the salvage PR passes the author-attribution CI check.
Extends _hydrate_bot_identity() to also populate _bot_open_id (not just
_bot_name) by probing /open-apis/bot/v3/info — the same endpoint the
scan-to-create wizard uses. No extra scopes required beyond the tenant
access token.
Closes the manual-setup gap in #12450: users who configured Feishu
without running the wizard, and never set FEISHU_BOT_OPEN_ID, now get
a bot identity that _is_self_sent_bot_message() can actually use to
filter the adapter's own bot-sent events.
Each field is hydrated independently:
- Env vars (FEISHU_BOT_OPEN_ID / FEISHU_BOT_USER_ID / FEISHU_BOT_NAME)
still take precedence and skip their respective probe.
- /bot/v3/info provides open_id + name.
- Application-info endpoint remains as a best-effort fallback for
bot_name only (needs admin:app.info:readonly scope).
Tests: 5 new cases covering env-var precedence, probe success, probe
failure fallback, and the end-to-end self-send filter gate after
hydration.
The first draft of the fix called `chunk.decode("utf-8")` directly on
each 4096-byte `os.read()` result, which corrupts output whenever a
multi-byte UTF-8 character straddles a read boundary:
* `UnicodeDecodeError` fires on the valid-but-truncated byte sequence.
* The except handler clears ALL previously-decoded output and replaces
the whole buffer with `[binary output detected ...]`.
Empirically: 10000 '日' chars (30001 bytes) through the wrapper loses
all 10000 characters on the first draft; the baseline TextIOWrapper
drain (which uses `encoding='utf-8', errors='replace'` on Popen)
preserves them all. This regression affects any command emitting
non-ASCII output larger than one chunk — CJK/Arabic/emoji in
`npm install`, `pip install`, `docker logs`, `kubectl logs`, etc.
Fix: swap to `codecs.getincrementaldecoder('utf-8')(errors='replace')`,
which buffers partial multi-byte sequences across chunks and substitutes
U+FFFD for genuinely invalid bytes. Flush on drain exit via
`decoder.decode(b'', final=True)` to emit any trailing replacement
character for a dangling partial sequence.
Adds two regression tests:
* test_utf8_multibyte_across_read_boundary — 10000 U+65E5 chars,
verifies count round-trips and no fallback fires.
* test_invalid_utf8_uses_replacement_not_fallback — deliberate
\xff\xfe between valid ASCII, verifies surrounding text survives.
When a user's command backgrounds a child (`cmd &`, `setsid cmd & disown`,
etc.), the backgrounded grandchild inherits the write-end of our stdout
pipe via fork(). The old `for line in proc.stdout` drain never EOF'd
until the grandchild closed the pipe — so for a uvicorn server, the
terminal tool hung indefinitely (users reported the whole session
deadlocking when asking the agent to restart a backend).
Fix: switch _drain() to select()-based non-blocking reads and stop
draining shortly after bash exits even if the pipe hasn't EOF'd. Any
output the grandchild writes after that point goes to an orphaned pipe,
which is exactly what the user asked for when they said '&'.
Adds regression tests covering the issue's exact repro and 5 related
patterns (plain bg, setsid+disown, streaming output, high volume,
timeout, UTF-8).
Live test with timeout_seconds: 0.5 on claude-sonnet-4.6 proved the
initial wiring was insufficient: run_agent.py was overriding the
client-level timeout on every call via hardcoded per-request kwargs.
Root cause: run_agent.py had two sites that pass an explicit timeout=
kwarg into chat.completions.create() — api_kwargs['timeout'] at line
7075 (HERMES_API_TIMEOUT=1800s default) and the streaming path's
_httpx.Timeout(..., read=HERMES_STREAM_READ_TIMEOUT=120s, ...) at line
5760. Both override the per-provider config value the client was
constructed with, so a 0.5s config timeout would silently not enforce.
This commit:
- Adds AIAgent._resolved_api_call_timeout() — config > HERMES_API_TIMEOUT env > 1800s default.
- Uses it for the non-streaming api_kwargs['timeout'] field.
- Uses it for the streaming path's httpx.Timeout(connect, read, write, pool)
so both connect and read respect the configured value when set.
Local-provider auto-bump (Ollama/vLLM cold-start) only applies when
no explicit config value is set.
- New test: test_resolved_api_call_timeout_priority covers all three
precedence cases (config, env, default).
Live verified: 0.5s config on claude-sonnet-4.6 now triggers
APITimeoutError at ~3s per retry, exhausts 3 retries in ~15s total
(was: 29-47s success with timeout ignored). Positive case (60s config
+ gpt-4o-mini) still succeeds at 1.3s.
Follow-up on top of mvanhorn's cherry-picked commit. Original PR only
wired request_timeout_seconds into the explicit-creds OpenAI branch at
run_agent.py init; router-based implicit auth, native Anthropic, and the
fallback chain were still hardcoded to SDK defaults.
- agent/anthropic_adapter.py: build_anthropic_client() accepts an optional
timeout kwarg (default 900s preserved when unset/invalid).
- run_agent.py: resolve per-provider/per-model timeout once at init; apply
to Anthropic native init + post-refresh rebuild + stale/interrupt
rebuilds + switch_model + _restore_primary_runtime + the OpenAI
implicit-auth path + _try_activate_fallback (with immediate client
rebuild so the first fallback request carries the configured timeout).
- tests: cover anthropic adapter kwarg honoring; widen mock signatures
to accept the new timeout kwarg.
- docs/example: clarify that the knob now applies to every transport,
the fallback chain, and rebuilds after credential rotation.
Adds optional providers.<id>.request_timeout_seconds and
providers.<id>.models.<model>.timeout_seconds config, resolved via a new
hermes_cli/timeouts.py helper and applied where client_kwargs is built
in run_agent.py. Zero default behavior change: when both keys are unset,
the openai SDK default takes over.
Mirrors the existing _get_task_timeout pattern in agent/auxiliary_client.py
for auxiliary tasks - the primary turn path just never got the equivalent
knob.
Cross-project demand: openclaw/openclaw#43946 (17 reactions) asks for
exactly this config - specifically calls out Ollama cold-start hanging
the client.
PR #12558 was heavy for what the fix actually is — essay-length
comments, a dedicated helper method where a setdefault would do, and
a source-inspection test with no real behavior coverage. The
genuine code change is ~5 lines of new logic (1 field, 2 async with,
an on_ready wait block).
Trimmed:
- Replaced the 12-line _voice_lock_for helper with a setdefault
one-liner at each call site (join_voice_channel, leave_voice_channel).
- Collapsed the 12-line comment on on_message's _ready_event wait to
3 lines. Dropped the warning log on timeout — pass-on-timeout is
fine; if on_ready hangs that long, the bot is already broken and
the log wouldn't help.
- Dropped the source-inspection test (greps the module source for
expected substrings). It was low-value scaffolding; the
voice-serialization test covers actual behavior.
Net: -73 lines vs PR #12558. Same two guarantees preserved, same
test passes (verified by stashing the fix and confirming failure).
On top of the salvaged PR #12505 (Jason/farion1231, which adds dict-format
models: enumeration to both sections), three section-3 refinements from
competing PR #11534 (YangManBOBO):
- accept base_url as canonical (matches Hermes's writer and custom_providers
entries); keep api/url as fallbacks for legacy/hand-edited configs
- accept singular model as a default_model synonym, matching custom_providers
- add seen_slugs guard so the same provider slug appearing in both
providers: dict and custom_providers: list emits exactly one picker row
(providers: dict wins since section 3 runs first)
Two regression tests cover the new behavior. AUTHOR_MAP entry added for
farion1231 so CI doesn't reject the cherry-picked commit.
list_authenticated_providers() builds /model picker rows for CLI, TUI and
gateway flows, but fails to enumerate custom provider models stored in
dict form:
- custom_providers[] entries surface only the singular `model:` field,
hiding every other model in the `models:` dict.
- providers: dict entries with dict-format `models:` are silently dropped
and render as `(0 models)`.
Hermes's own writer (main.py::_save_custom_provider) persists configured
models as a dict keyed by model id, and most downstream readers
(agent/models_dev.py, gateway/run.py, run_agent.py, hermes_cli/config.py)
already consume that dict format. The /model picker was the only stale
path.
Add a dict branch in both sections of list_authenticated_providers(),
preferring dict (canonical) and keeping the list branch as fallback for
hand-edited / legacy configs. Dedup against the already-added default
model so nothing duplicates when the default is also a dict key.
Six new regression tests in tests/hermes_cli/ cover: dict models with a
default, dict models without a default, and default dedup against a
matching dict key.
Fixes#11677Fixes#9148
Related: #11017
Commit 4a9c3565 added a reference to `self.config` in
`_check_compression_model_feasibility()` to pass the user-configured
`auxiliary.compression.context_length` to `get_model_context_length()`.
However, `AIAgent` never stores the loaded config dict as an instance
attribute — the config is loaded into a local variable `_agent_cfg` in
`__init__()` and discarded after init.
This causes an `AttributeError: 'AIAgent' object has no attribute
'config'` on every session start when compression is enabled, caught by
the try/except and logged as a non-fatal DEBUG message.
Fix: store the loaded config as `self._config` in `__init__()` and
update the reference in the feasibility check to use `self._config`.
The stdin-read loop in entry.py calls handle_request() inline, so the
five handlers that can block for seconds to minutes
(slash.exec, cli.exec, shell.exec, session.resume, session.branch)
freeze the dispatcher. While one is running, any inbound RPC —
notably approval.respond and session.interrupt — sits unread in the
pipe buffer and lands only after the slow handler returns.
Route only those five onto a small ThreadPoolExecutor; every other
handler stays on the main thread so the fast-path ordering is
unchanged and the audit surface stays small. write_json is already
_stdout_lock-guarded, so concurrent response writes are safe. Pool
size defaults to 4 (overridable via HERMES_TUI_RPC_POOL_WORKERS).
- add _LONG_HANDLERS set + ThreadPoolExecutor + atexit shutdown
- new dispatch(req) function: pool for long handlers, inline for rest
- _run_and_emit wraps pool work in a try/except so a misbehaving
handler still surfaces as a JSON-RPC error instead of silently
dying in a worker
- entry.py swaps handle_request → dispatch
- 5 new tests: sync path still inline, long handlers emit via stdout,
fast handler not blocked behind slow one, handler exceptions map to
error responses, non-long methods always take the sync path
Manual repro confirms the fix: shell.exec(sleep 3) + terminal.resize
sent back-to-back now returns the resize response at t=0s while the
sleep finishes independently at t=3s. Before, both landed together
at t=3s.
Fixes#12546.
Two small races in gateway/platforms/discord.py, bundled together
since they're adjacent in the adapter and both narrow in impact.
1. on_message vs _resolve_allowed_usernames (startup window)
DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS accepts both numeric IDs and raw usernames.
At connect-time, _resolve_allowed_usernames walks the bot's guilds
(fetch_members can take multiple seconds) to swap usernames for IDs.
on_message can fire during that window; _is_allowed_user compares
the numeric author.id against a set that may still contain raw
usernames — legitimate users get silently rejected for a few
seconds after every reconnect.
Fix: on_message awaits _ready_event (with a 30s timeout) when it
isn't already set. on_ready sets the event after the resolve
completes. In steady state this is a no-op (event already set);
only the startup / reconnect window ever blocks.
2. join_voice_channel check-and-connect
The existing-connection check at _voice_clients.get() and the
channel.connect() call straddled an await boundary with no lock.
Two concurrent /voice channel invocations could both see None and
both call connect(); discord.py raises ClientException
("Already connected") on the loser. Same race class for leave
running concurrently with _voice_timeout_handler.
Fix: per-guild asyncio.Lock (_voice_locks dict with lazy alloc via
_voice_lock_for). join_voice_channel and leave_voice_channel both
run their body under the lock. Sequential within a guild, still
fully concurrent across guilds.
Both: LOW severity. The first only affects username-based allowlists
on fast-follow-up messages at startup; the second is a narrow
exception on simultaneous voice commands. Bundled so the adapter
gets a single coherent polish pass.
Tests (tests/gateway/test_discord_race_polish.py): 2 regression cases.
- test_concurrent_joins_do_not_double_connect: two concurrent
join_voice_channel calls on the same guild result in exactly one
channel.connect() invocation.
- test_on_message_blocks_until_ready_event_set: asserts the expected
wait pattern is present in on_message (source inspection, since
full discord.py client setup isn't practical here).
Regression-guard validated: against unpatched gateway/platforms/discord.py
both tests fail. With the fix they pass. Full Discord suite (118
tests) green.
When a user hits /new or /resume before the previous session finishes
initializing, session.close runs while the previous session.create's
_build thread is still constructing the agent. session.close pops
_sessions[sid] and closes whatever slash_worker it finds (None at that
point — _build hasn't installed it yet), then returns. _build keeps
running in the background, installs the slash_worker subprocess and
registers an approval-notify callback on a session dict that's now
unreachable via _sessions. The subprocess leaks until process exit;
the notify callback lingers in the global registry.
Fix: _build now tracks what it allocates (worker, notify_registered)
and checks in its finally block whether _sessions[sid] still points
to the session it's building for. If not, the build was orphaned by
a racing close, so clean up the subprocess and unregister the notify
ourselves.
tui_gateway/server.py:
- _build reads _sessions.get(sid) safely (returns early if already gone)
- tracks allocated worker + notify registration
- finally checks orphan status and cleans up
Tests (tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py): 2 new cases.
- test_session_create_close_race_does_not_orphan_worker: slow
_make_agent, close mid-build, verify worker.close() and
unregister_gateway_notify both fire from the build thread's
cleanup path.
- test_session_create_no_race_keeps_worker_alive: regression guard —
happy path does NOT over-eagerly clean up a live worker.
Validated: against the unpatched code, the race test fails with
'orphan worker was not cleaned up — closed_workers=[]'. Live E2E
against the live Python environment confirmed the cleanup fires
exactly when the race happens.
agent.switch_model() mutates self.model, self.provider, self.base_url,
self.api_key, self.api_mode, and rebuilds self.client / self._anthropic_client
in place. The worker thread running agent.run_conversation reads those
fields on every iteration. A concurrent config.set key=model or slash-
worker-mirrored /model / /personality / /prompt / /compress can send an
HTTP request with mismatched model + base_url (or the old client keeps
running against a new endpoint) — 400/404s the user never asked for.
Fix: same pattern as the session.undo / session.compress guards
(PR #12416) and the gateway runner's running-agent /model guard (PR
#12334). Reject with 4009 'session busy' when session.running is True.
Two call sites guarded:
- config.set with key=model: primary /model entry point from Ink
- _mirror_slash_side_effects for model / personality / prompt /
compress: slash-worker passthrough path that applies live-agent
side effects
Idle sessions still switch models normally — regression guard test
verifies this.
Tests (tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py): 4 new cases.
- test_config_set_model_rejects_while_running
- test_config_set_model_allowed_when_idle (regression guard)
- test_mirror_slash_side_effects_rejects_mutating_commands_while_running
- test_mirror_slash_side_effects_allowed_when_idle (regression guard)
Validated: against unpatched server.py, the two 'rejects_while_running'
tests fail with the exact race they assert against. With the fix all
4 pass. Live E2E against the live Python environment confirmed both
guards enforce 4009 / 'session busy' exactly as designed.
find-nearby and the (new) maps optional skill both used OpenStreetMap's
Overpass + Nominatim to answer the same question — 'what's near this
location?' — so shipping both would be duplicate code for overlapping
capability. Consolidate into one active-by-default skill at
skills/productivity/maps/ that is a strict superset of find-nearby.
Moves + deletions:
- optional-skills/productivity/maps/ → skills/productivity/maps/ (active,
no install step needed)
- skills/leisure/find-nearby/ → DELETED (fully superseded)
Upgrades to maps_client.py so it covers everything find-nearby did:
- Overpass server failover — tries overpass-api.de then
overpass.kumi.systems so a single-mirror outage doesn't break the skill
(new overpass_query helper, used by both nearby and bbox)
- nearby now accepts --near "<address>" as a shortcut that auto-geocodes,
so one command replaces the old 'search → copy coords → nearby' chain
- nearby now accepts --category (repeatable) for multi-type queries in
one call (e.g. --category restaurant --category bar), results merged
and deduped by (osm_type, osm_id), sorted by distance, capped at --limit
- Each nearby result now includes maps_url (clickable Google Maps search
link) and directions_url (Google Maps directions from the search point
— only when a ref point is known)
- Promoted commonly-useful OSM tags to top-level fields on each result:
cuisine, hours (opening_hours), phone, website — instead of forcing
callers to dig into the raw tags dict
SKILL.md:
- Version bumped 1.1.0 → 1.2.0, description rewritten to lead with
capability surface
- New 'Working With Telegram Location Pins' section replacing
find-nearby's equivalent workflow
- metadata.hermes.supersedes: [find-nearby] so tooling can flag any
lingering references to the old skill
External references updated:
- optional-skills/productivity/telephony/SKILL.md — related_skills
find-nearby → maps
- website/docs/reference/skills-catalog.md — removed the (now-empty)
'leisure' section, added 'maps' row under productivity
- website/docs/user-guide/features/cron.md — find-nearby example
usages swapped to maps
- tests/tools/test_cronjob_tools.py, tests/hermes_cli/test_cron.py,
tests/cron/test_scheduler.py — fixture string values swapped
- cli.py:5290 — /cron help-hint example swapped
Not touched:
- RELEASE_v0.2.0.md — historical record, left intact
E2E-verified live (Nominatim + Overpass, one query each):
- nearby --near "Times Square" --category restaurant --category bar → 3 results,
sorted by distance, all with maps_url, directions_url, cuisine, phone, website
where OSM had the tags
All 111 targeted tests pass across tests/cron/, tests/tools/, tests/hermes_cli/.
External services can now push plain-text notifications to a user's chat
via the webhook adapter without invoking the agent. Set deliver_only=true
on a route and the rendered prompt template becomes the literal message
body — dispatched directly to the configured target (Telegram, Discord,
Slack, GitHub PR comment, etc.).
Reuses all existing webhook infrastructure: HMAC-SHA256 signature
validation, per-route rate limiting, idempotency cache, body-size limits,
template rendering with dot-notation, home-channel fallback. No new HTTP
server, no new auth scheme, no new port.
Use cases: Supabase/Firebase webhooks → user notifications, monitoring
alert forwarding, inter-agent pings, background job completion alerts.
Changes:
- gateway/platforms/webhook.py: new _direct_deliver() helper + early
dispatch branch in _handle_webhook when deliver_only=true. Startup
validation rejects deliver_only with deliver=log.
- hermes_cli/main.py + hermes_cli/webhook.go: --deliver-only flag on
subscribe; list/show output marks direct-delivery routes.
- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/webhooks.md: new Direct Delivery
Mode section with config example, CLI example, response codes.
- skills/devops/webhook-subscriptions/SKILL.md: document --deliver-only
with use cases (bumped to v1.1.0).
- tests/gateway/test_webhook_deliver_only.py: 14 new tests covering
agent bypass, template rendering, status codes, HMAC still enforced,
idempotency still applies, rate limit still applies, startup
validation, and direct-deliver dispatch.
Validation: 78 webhook tests pass (64 existing + 14 new). E2E verified
with real aiohttp server + real urllib POST — agent not invoked, target
adapter.send() called with rendered template, duplicate delivery_id
suppressed.
Closes the gap identified in PR #12117 (thanks to @H1an1 / Antenna team)
without adding a second HTTP ingress server.
Follow-up on top of the helix4u #12388 cherry-picks:
- make deferred post-delivery callbacks generation-aware end-to-end so
stale runs cannot clear callbacks registered by a fresher run for the
same session
- bind callback ownership to the active session event at run start and
snapshot that generation inside base adapter processing so later event
mutation cannot retarget cleanup
- pass run_generation through proxy mode and drop stale proxy streams /
final results the same way local runs are dropped
- centralize stop/new interrupt cleanup into one helper and replace the
open-coded branches with shared logic
- unify internal control interrupt reason strings via shared constants
- remove the return from base.py's finally block so cleanup no longer
swallows cancellation/exception flow
- add focused regressions for generation forwarding, proxy stale
suppression, and newer-callback preservation
This addresses all review findings from the initial #12388 review while
keeping the fix scoped to stale-output/typing-loop interrupt handling.
Follow-up on top of the helix4u #6392 cherry-pick:
- reuse one helper for actionable Docker-local file-not-found errors
across document/image/video/audio local-media send paths
- include /outputs/... alongside /output/... in the container-local
path hint
- soften the gateway startup warning so it does not imply custom
host-visible mounts are broken; the warning now targets the specific
risky pattern of emitting container-local MEDIA paths without an
explicit export mount
- add focused regressions for /outputs/... and non-document media hint
coverage
This keeps the salvage aligned with the actual MEDIA delivery problem on
current main while reducing false-positive operator messaging.
When _send_fallback_final() is called with nothing new to deliver
(the visible partial already matches final_text), the last edit may
still show the cursor character because fallback mode was entered
after a failed edit. Before this fix the early-return path left
_already_sent = True without attempting to strip the cursor, so the
message stayed frozen with a visible ▉ permanently.
Adds a best-effort edit inside the empty-continuation branch to clean
the cursor off the last-sent text. Harmless when fallback mode
wasn't actually armed or when the cursor isn't present. If the strip
edit itself fails (flood still active), we return without crashing
and without corrupting _last_sent_text.
Adapted from PR #7429 onto current main — the surrounding fallback
block grew the #10807 stale-prefix handling since #7429 was written,
so the cursor strip lives in the new else-branch where we still
return early.
3 unit tests covering: cursor stripped on empty continuation, no edit
attempted when cursor is not configured, cursor-strip edit failure
handled without crash.
Originally proposed as PR #7429.
During gateway shutdown, a message arriving while
cancel_background_tasks is mid-await (inside asyncio.gather) spawns
a fresh _process_message_background task via handle_message and adds
it to self._background_tasks. The original implementation's
_background_tasks.clear() at the end of cancel_background_tasks
dropped the reference; the task ran untracked against a disconnecting
adapter, logged send-failures, and lingered until it completed on
its own.
Fix: wrap the cancel+gather in a bounded loop (MAX_DRAIN_ROUNDS=5).
If new tasks appeared during the gather, cancel them in the next
round. The .clear() at the end is preserved as a safety net for
any task that appeared after MAX_DRAIN_ROUNDS — but in practice the
drain stabilizes in 1-2 rounds.
Tests: tests/gateway/test_cancel_background_drain.py — 3 cases.
- test_cancel_background_tasks_drains_late_arrivals: spawn M1, start
cancel, inject M2 during M1's shielded cleanup, verify M2 is
cancelled.
- test_cancel_background_tasks_handles_no_tasks: no-op path still
terminates cleanly.
- test_cancel_background_tasks_bounded_rounds: baseline — single
task cancels in one round, loop terminates.
Regression-guard validated: against the unpatched implementation,
the late-arrival test fails with exactly the expected message
('task leaked'). With the fix it passes.
Blast radius is shutdown-only; the audit classified this as MED.
Shipping because the fix is small and the hygiene is worth it.
While investigating the audit's other MEDs (busy-handler double-ack,
Discord ExecApprovalView double-resolve, UpdatePromptView
double-resolve), I verified all three were false positives — the
check-and-set patterns have no await between them, so they're
atomic on single-threaded asyncio. No fix needed for those.
When a streaming edit fails mid-stream (flood control, transport error)
and a tool boundary arrives before the fallback threshold is reached,
the pre-boundary tail in `_accumulated` was silently discarded by
`_reset_segment_state`. The user saw a frozen partial message and
missing words on the other side of the tool call.
Flush the undelivered tail as a continuation message before the reset,
computed relative to the last successfully-delivered prefix so we don't
duplicate content the user already saw.
Extends the existing cron script hook with a wake gate ported from
nanoclaw #1232. When a cron job's pre-check Python script (already
sandboxed to HERMES_HOME/scripts/) writes a JSON line like
```json
{"wakeAgent": false}
```
on its last stdout line, `run_job()` returns the SILENT marker and
skips the agent entirely — no LLM call, no delivery, no tokens spent.
Useful for frequent polls (every 1-5 min) that only need to wake the
agent when something has genuinely changed.
Any other script output (non-JSON, missing key, non-dict, `wakeAgent: true`,
truthy/falsy non-False values) behaves as before: stdout is injected
as context and the agent runs normally. Strict `False` is required
to skip — avoids accidental gating from arbitrary JSON.
Refactor:
- New pure helper `_parse_wake_gate(script_output)` in cron/scheduler.py
- `_build_job_prompt` accepts optional `prerun_script` tuple so the
script runs exactly once per job (run_job runs it for the gate check,
reuses the output for prompt injection)
- `run_job` short-circuits with SILENT_MARKER when gate fires
Script failures (success=False) still cannot trigger the gate — the
failure is reported as context to the agent as before.
This replaces the approach in closed PR #3837, which inlined bash
scripts via tempfile and lost the path-traversal/scripts-dir sandbox
that main's impl has. The wake-gate idea (the one net-new capability)
is ported on top of the existing sandboxed Python-script model.
Tests:
- 11 pure unit tests for _parse_wake_gate (empty, whitespace, non-JSON,
non-dict JSON, missing key, truthy/falsy non-False, multi-line,
trailing blanks, non-last-line JSON)
- 5 integration tests for run_job wake-gate (skip returns SILENT,
wake-true passes through, script-runs-only-once, script failure
doesn't gate, no-script regression)
- Full tests/cron/ suite: 194/194 pass
When Discord splits a long message at 2000 chars, _enqueue_text_event
buffers each chunk and schedules a _flush_text_batch task with a
short delay. If another chunk lands while the prior flush task is
already inside handle_message, _enqueue_text_event calls
prior_task.cancel() — and without asyncio.shield, CancelledError
propagates from the flush task into handle_message → the agent's
streaming request, aborting the response the user was waiting on.
Reproducer: user sends a 3000-char prompt (split by Discord into 2
messages). Chunk 1 lands, flush delay starts, chunk 2 lands during
the brief window when chunk 1's flush has already committed to
handle_message. Agent's current streaming response is cancelled
with CancelledError, user sees a truncated or missing reply.
Fix (gateway/platforms/discord.py):
- Wrap the handle_message call in asyncio.shield so the inner
dispatch is protected from the outer task's cancel.
- Add an except asyncio.CancelledError clause so the outer task
still exits cleanly when cancel lands during the sleep window
(before the pop) — semantics for that path are unchanged.
The new flush task spawned by the follow-up chunk still handles its
own batch via the normal pending-message / active-session machinery
in base.py, so follow-ups are not lost.
Tests: tests/gateway/test_text_batching.py —
test_shield_protects_handle_message_from_cancel. Tracks a distinct
first_handle_cancelled event so the assertion fails cleanly when the
shield is missing (verified by stashing the fix and re-running).
Live E2E on the live-loaded DiscordAdapter:
first_handle_cancelled: False (shield worked)
first_handle_completed: True (handle_message ran to completion)
session.interrupt on session A was blast-resolving pending
clarify/sudo/secret prompts on ALL sessions sharing the same
tui_gateway process. Other sessions' agent threads unblocked with
empty-string answers as if the user had cancelled — silent
cross-session corruption.
Root cause: _pending and _answers were globals keyed by random rid
with no record of the owning session. _clear_pending() iterated
every entry, so the session.interrupt handler had no way to limit
the release to its own sid.
Fix:
- tui_gateway/server.py: _pending now maps rid to (sid, Event)
tuples. _clear_pending takes an optional sid argument and filters
by owner_sid when provided. session.interrupt passes the calling
sid so unrelated sessions are untouched. _clear_pending(None)
remains the shutdown path for completeness.
- _block and _respond updated to pack/unpack the new tuple format.
Tests (tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py): 4 new cases.
- test_interrupt_only_clears_own_session_pending: two sessions with
pending prompts, interrupting one must not release the other.
- test_interrupt_clears_multiple_own_pending: same-sid multi-prompt
release works.
- test_clear_pending_without_sid_clears_all: shutdown path preserved.
- test_respond_unpacks_sid_tuple_correctly: _respond handles the
tuple format.
Also updated tests/tui_gateway/test_protocol.py to use the new tuple
format for test_block_and_respond and test_clear_pending.
Live E2E against the live Python environment confirmed cross-session
isolation: interrupting sid_a released its own pending prompt without
touching sid_b's. All 78 related tests pass.
Agents can now send arbitrary CDP commands to the browser. The tool is
gated on a reachable CDP endpoint at session start — it only appears in
the toolset when BROWSER_CDP_URL is set (from '/browser connect') or
'browser.cdp_url' is configured in config.yaml. Backends that don't
currently expose CDP to the Python side (Camofox, default local
agent-browser, cloud providers whose per-session cdp_url is not yet
surfaced) do not see the tool at all.
Tool schema description links to the CDP method reference at
https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/ so the agent can
web_extract specific method docs on demand.
Stateless per call. Browser-level methods (Target.*, Browser.*,
Storage.*) omit target_id. Page-level methods attach to the target
with flatten=true and dispatch the method on the returned sessionId.
Clean errors when the endpoint becomes unreachable mid-session or
the URL isn't a WebSocket.
Tests: 19 unit (mock CDP server + gate checks) + E2E against real
headless Chrome (Target.getTargets, Browser.getVersion,
Runtime.evaluate with target_id, Page.navigate + re-eval, bogus
method, bogus target_id, missing endpoint) + E2E of the check_fn
gate (tool hidden without CDP URL, visible with it, hidden again
after unset).
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.
- TestDialecticDepth::test_first_turn_runs_dialectic_synchronously:
covered by TestSessionStartDialecticPrewarm::test_turn1_falls_back_to_sync_when_prewarm_missing
(more realistic — exercises the empty-prewarm → sync-fallback path)
- TestDialecticDepth::test_first_turn_dialectic_does_not_double_fire:
covered by TestDialecticLifecycleSmoke (turn 1 flow) and
TestDialecticCadenceAdvancesOnSuccess::test_empty_dialectic_result_does_not_advance_cadence
Both predate the prewarm refactor and test paths that are now
fallback behaviors already covered elsewhere.
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.
- 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)
Fixes silent data loss in the TUI when /undo, /compress, /retry, or
rollback.restore runs during an in-flight agent turn. The version-
guard at prompt.submit:1449 would fail the version check and silently
skip writing the agent's result — UI showed the assistant reply but
DB / backend history never received it, causing UI↔backend desync
that persisted across session resume.
Changes (tui_gateway/server.py):
- session.undo, session.compress, /retry, rollback.restore (full-history
only — file-scoped rollbacks still allowed): reject with 4009 when
session.running is True. Users can /interrupt first.
- prompt.submit: on history_version mismatch (defensive backstop),
attach a 'warning' field to message.complete and log to stderr
instead of silently dropping the agent's output. The UI can surface
the warning to the user; the operator can spot it in logs.
Tests (tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py): 6 new cases.
- test_session_undo_rejects_while_running
- test_session_undo_allowed_when_idle (regression guard)
- test_session_compress_rejects_while_running
- test_rollback_restore_rejects_full_history_while_running
- test_prompt_submit_history_version_mismatch_surfaces_warning
- test_prompt_submit_history_version_match_persists_normally (regression)
Validated: against unpatched server.py the three 'rejects_while_running'
tests fail and the version-mismatch test fails (no 'warning' field).
With the fix, all 6 pass, all 33 tests in the file pass, 74 TUI tests
in total pass. Live E2E against the live Python environment confirmed
all 5 patches present and guards enforce 4009 exactly as designed.
_make_agent() was not calling resolve_runtime_provider(), so bare-slug
models (e.g. 'claude-opus-4-6' with provider: anthropic) left provider,
base_url, and api_key empty in AIAgent — causing HTTP 404 at
api.anthropic.com.
Now mirrors cli.py: calls resolve_runtime_provider(requested=None) and
forwards all 7 resolved fields to AIAgent.
Adds regression test.
Two related race conditions in gateway/platforms/base.py that could
produce duplicate agent runs or silently drop messages. Neither is
specific to any one platform — all adapters inherit this logic.
R5 (HIGH) — duplicate agent spawn on turn chain
In _process_message_background, the pending-drain path deleted
_active_sessions[session_key] before awaiting typing_task.cancel()
and then recursively awaiting _process_message_background for the
queued event. During the typing_task await, a fresh inbound message
M3 could pass the Level-1 guard (entry now missing), set its own
Event, and spawn a second _process_message_background for the same
session_key — two agents running simultaneously, duplicate responses,
duplicate tool calls.
Fix: keep the _active_sessions entry populated and only clear() the
Event. The guard stays live, so any concurrent inbound message takes
the busy-handler path (queue + interrupt) as intended.
R6 (MED-HIGH) — message dropped during finally cleanup
The finally block has two await points (typing_task, stop_typing)
before it deletes _active_sessions. A message arriving in that
window passes the guard (entry still live), lands in
_pending_messages via the busy-handler — and then the unconditional
del removes the guard with that message still queued. Nothing
drains it; the user never gets a reply.
Fix: before deleting _active_sessions in finally, pop any late
pending_messages entry and spawn a drain task for it. Only delete
_active_sessions when no pending is waiting.
Tests: tests/gateway/test_pending_drain_race.py — three regression
cases. Validated: without the fix, two of the three fail exactly
where the races manifest (duplicate-spawn guard loses identity,
late-arrival 'LATE' message not in processed list).
Add approvals.cron_mode config option that controls how cron jobs handle
dangerous commands. Previously, cron jobs silently auto-approved all
dangerous commands because there was no user present to approve them.
Now the behavior is configurable:
- deny (default): block dangerous commands and return a message telling
the agent to find an alternative approach. The agent loop continues —
it just can't use that specific command.
- approve: auto-approve all dangerous commands (previous behavior).
When a command is blocked, the agent receives the same response format as
a user denial in the CLI — exit_code=-1, status=blocked, with a message
explaining why and pointing to the config option. This keeps the agent
loop running and encourages it to adapt.
Implementation:
- config.py: add approvals.cron_mode to DEFAULT_CONFIG
- scheduler.py: set HERMES_CRON_SESSION=1 env var before agent runs
- approval.py: both check_command_approval() and check_all_command_guards()
now check for cron sessions and apply the configured mode
- 21 new tests covering config parsing, deny/approve behavior, and
interaction with other bypass mechanisms (yolo, containers)
Codex OAuth refresh tokens are single-use and rotate on every refresh.
Sharing them with the Codex CLI / VS Code via ~/.codex/auth.json made
concurrent use of both tools a race: whoever refreshed last invalidated
the other side's refresh_token. On top of that, the silent auto-import
path picked up placeholder / aborted-auth data from ~/.codex/auth.json
(e.g. literal {"access_token":"access-new","refresh_token":"refresh-new"})
and seeded it into the Hermes pool as an entry the selector could
eventually pick.
Hermes now owns its own Codex auth state end-to-end:
Removed
- agent/credential_pool.py: _sync_codex_entry_from_cli() method,
its pre-refresh + retry + _available_entries call sites, and the
post-refresh write-back to ~/.codex/auth.json.
- agent/credential_pool.py: auto-import from ~/.codex/auth.json in
_seed_from_singletons() — users now run `hermes auth openai-codex`
explicitly.
- hermes_cli/auth.py: silent runtime migration in
resolve_codex_runtime_credentials() — now surfaces
`codex_auth_missing` directly (message already points to `hermes auth`).
- hermes_cli/auth.py: post-refresh write-back in
_refresh_codex_auth_tokens().
- hermes_cli/auth.py: dead helper _write_codex_cli_tokens() and its 4
tests in test_auth_codex_provider.py.
Kept
- hermes_cli/auth.py: _import_codex_cli_tokens() — still used by the
interactive `hermes auth openai-codex` setup flow for a user-gated
one-time import (with "a separate login is recommended" messaging).
User-visible impact
- On existing installs with Hermes auth already present: no change.
- On a fresh install where the user has only logged in via Codex CLI:
`hermes chat --provider openai-codex` now fails with "No Codex
credentials stored. Run `hermes auth` to authenticate." The
interactive setup flow then detects ~/.codex/auth.json and offers a
one-time import.
- On an install where Codex CLI later refreshes its token: Hermes is
unaffected (we no longer read from that file at runtime).
Tests
- tests/hermes_cli/test_auth_codex_provider.py: 15/15 pass.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_auth_commands.py: 20/20 pass.
- tests/agent/test_credential_pool.py: 31/31 pass.
- Live E2E on openai-codex/gpt-5.4: 1 API call, 1.7s latency,
3 log lines, no refresh events, no auth drama.
The related 14:52 refresh-loop bug (hundreds of rotations/minute on a
single entry) is a separate issue — that requires a refresh-attempt
cap on the auth-recovery path in run_agent.py, which remains open.
HermesCLI._display_resumed_history() calls the module-level _strip_reasoning_tags() to clean assistant content before rendering the recap panel. The tag list was missing <thought> (Gemma 4) and there was no pass for stray orphan </tag> closes, so those variants leaked internal reasoning into the recap display (#11316).
- Add <thought> to _REASONING_TAGS.
- Add a third regex pass that strips orphan close tags (e.g. 'stuff</think>answer' → 'stuffanswer').
- Apply IGNORECASE to closed-pair and unclosed-pair passes so mixed-case variants (<THINK>, <Thinking>) are handled uniformly — previously both 'THINKING' and 'thinking' had to be listed explicitly as distinct tuple entries, which missed <Thinking>.
7 new regression tests in tests/cli/test_resume_display.py covering: <think>, <thinking>, <reasoning>, <thought>, unclosed <think>, multiple interleaved blocks, and orphan </think> close.
Resolves#11316.
Originally proposed as PR #11366.
Inline reasoning tags in an assistant message's content field leak to every downstream consumer: messaging platforms (#8878, #9568), API replay of prior turns, session transcript, CLI recap, generated session titles, and context compression. _extract_reasoning() already captures the reasoning text into msg['reasoning'] separately, so the raw tags in content are redundant.
Stripping once at the storage boundary in _build_assistant_message() cleans the content for every downstream path in one place — no per-platform or per-path stripper needed. Measured impact on a real MiniMax M2.7-highspeed session (per @luoyejiaoe-source, #9306): 55% of assistant messages started with <think> blocks, 51/100 session titles were polluted, 16% content-size reduction.
3 new regression tests in TestBuildAssistantMessage: closed-pair strip with reasoning capture, no-think-tag passthrough, and unterminated-block strip.
Resolves#8878 and #9568.
Originally proposed as PR #9250.
Providers served via NIM (MiniMax M2.7, some Moonshot/DeepSeek proxies) sometimes drop the closing </think> tag, leaving raw reasoning in the assistant's content field. _strip_think_blocks()'s closed-pair regex is non-greedy so it only matches complete blocks — any orphan <think>...EOF survived the stripper and leaked to users (#8878, #9568, #10408).
Adds an unterminated-tag pass that fires when an open reasoning tag sits at a block boundary (start of text or after a newline) with no matching close. Everything from that tag to end of string is stripped. The block-boundary check mirrors gateway/stream_consumer.py's filter so models that mention <think> in prose are not over-stripped.
Also makes the closed-pair regexes consistently case-insensitive so <THINK>...</THINK> and <Thinking>...</Thinking> are handled uniformly — previously the mixed-case open tag would bypass the closed-pair pass and be caught by the unterminated-tag pass, taking trailing visible content with it.
6 new regression tests in TestStripThinkBlocks covering: unterminated <think>, unterminated <thought>, multi-line unterminated, line-start orphan with preserved prefix, prose-mention non-regression, mixed-case closed pairs.
The implementation is inspired by @luinbytes's PR #10408 report of the NIM/MiniMax symptom. This commit does not include the 💭/🧠 emoji regexes from that PR — those glyphs are Hermes CLI display decorations, not model content markers.
Gateway startup leaks aiohttp.ClientSession (and other partial-init
resources) when an adapter's connect() returns False or raises. The
adapter is never added to self.adapters, so the shutdown path at
gateway/run.py:2426 never calls disconnect() on it — Python GC later
logs 'Unclosed client session' at process exit.
Seen on 2026-04-18 18:08:16 during a double --replace takeover cycle:
one of the partial-init sessions survived past shutdown and emitted
the warning right before status=75/TEMPFAIL.
Fix:
- New GatewayRunner._safe_adapter_disconnect() helper — calls
adapter.disconnect() and swallows any exception. Used on error paths.
- Connect loop calls it in both failure branches: success=False and
except Exception.
- Adapter disconnect() implementations are already expected to be
idempotent and tolerate partial-init state (they all guard on
self._http_session / self._bridge_process before touching them).
Tests: tests/gateway/test_safe_adapter_disconnect.py — 3 cases verify
the helper forwards to disconnect, swallows exceptions, and tolerates
platform=None.
Any recognized slash command now bypasses the Level-1 active-session
guard instead of queueing + interrupting. A mid-run /model (or
/reasoning, /voice, /insights, /title, /resume, /retry, /undo,
/compress, /usage, /provider, /reload-mcp, /sethome, /reset) used to
interrupt the agent AND get silently discarded by the slash-command
safety net — zero-char response, dropped tool calls.
Root cause:
- Discord registers 41 native slash commands via tree.command().
- Only 14 were in ACTIVE_SESSION_BYPASS_COMMANDS.
- The other ~15 user-facing ones fell through base.py:handle_message
to the busy-session handler, which calls running_agent.interrupt()
AND queues the text.
- After the aborted run, gateway/run.py:9912 correctly identifies the
queued text as a slash command and discards it — but the damage
(interrupt + zero-char response) already happened.
Fix:
- should_bypass_active_session() now returns True for any resolvable
slash command. ACTIVE_SESSION_BYPASS_COMMANDS stays as the subset
with dedicated Level-2 handlers (documentation + tests).
- gateway/run.py adds a catch-all after the dedicated handlers that
returns a user-visible "agent busy — wait or /stop first" response
for any other resolvable command.
- Unknown text / file-path-like messages are unchanged — they still
queue.
Also:
- gateway/platforms/discord.py logs the invoker identity on every
slash command (user id + name + channel + guild) so future
ghost-command reports can be triaged without guessing.
Tests:
- 15 new parametrized cases in test_command_bypass_active_session.py
cover every previously-broken Discord slash command.
- Existing tests for /stop, /new, /approve, /deny, /help, /status,
/agents, /background, /steer, /update, /queue still pass.
- test_steer.py's ACTIVE_SESSION_BYPASS_COMMANDS check still passes.
Fixes#5057. Related: #6252, #10370, #4665.
Tests the three cases:
- DM with from_user=None: user_id falls back to chat.id
- Group with from_user=None: user_id stays None (safe default)
- DM with from_user present: user_id uses from_user.id (no regression)
Follow-up to #12301.
The drain-timeout branch of _stop_impl() was iterating the drain-start
snapshot (active_agents) when marking sessions resume_pending. That
snapshot can include sessions that finished gracefully during the drain
window — marking them would give their next turn a stray
'your previous turn was interrupted by a gateway restart' system note
even though the prior turn actually completed cleanly.
Iterate self._running_agents at timeout time instead, mirroring
_interrupt_running_agents() exactly:
- only sessions still blocking the shutdown get marked
- pending sentinels (AIAgent construction not yet complete) are skipped
Changes:
- gateway/run.py: swap active_agents.keys() for filtered
self._running_agents.items() iteration in the drain-timeout mark loop.
- tests/gateway/test_restart_resume_pending.py: two regression tests —
finisher-during-drain not marked, pending sentinel not marked.
The shutdown banner promised "send any message after restart to resume
where you left off" but the code did the opposite: a drain-timeout
restart skipped the .clean_shutdown marker, which made the next startup
call suspend_recently_active(), which marked the session suspended,
which made get_or_create_session() spawn a fresh session_id with a
'Session automatically reset. Use /resume...' notice — contradicting
the banner.
Introduce a resume_pending state on SessionEntry that is distinct from
suspended. Drain-timeout shutdown flags active sessions resume_pending
instead of letting startup-wide suspension destroy them. The next
message on the same session_key preserves the session_id, reloads the
transcript, and the agent receives a reason-aware restart-resume
system note that subsumes the existing tool-tail auto-continue note
(PR #9934).
Terminal escalation still flows through the existing
.restart_failure_counts stuck-loop counter (PR #7536, threshold 3) —
no parallel counter on SessionEntry. suspended still wins over
resume_pending in get_or_create_session() so genuinely stuck sessions
converge to a clean slate.
Spec: PR #11852 (BrennerSpear). Implementation follows the spec with
the approved correction (reuse .restart_failure_counts rather than
adding a resume_attempts field).
Changes:
- gateway/session.py: SessionEntry.resume_pending/resume_reason/
last_resume_marked_at + to_dict/from_dict; SessionStore
.mark_resume_pending()/clear_resume_pending(); get_or_create_session()
returns existing entry when resume_pending (suspended still wins);
suspend_recently_active() skips resume_pending entries.
- gateway/run.py: _stop_impl() drain-timeout branch marks active
sessions resume_pending before _interrupt_running_agents();
_run_agent() injects reason-aware restart-resume system note that
subsumes the tool-tail case; successful-turn cleanup also clears
resume_pending next to _clear_restart_failure_count();
_notify_active_sessions_of_shutdown() softens the restart banner to
'I'll try to resume where you left off' (honest about stuck-loop
escalation).
- tests/gateway/test_restart_resume_pending.py: 29 new tests covering
SessionEntry roundtrip, mark/clear helpers, get_or_create_session
precedence (suspended > resume_pending), suspend_recently_active
skip, drain-timeout mark reason (restart vs shutdown), system-note
injection decision tree (including tool-tail subsumption), banner
wording, and stuck-loop escalation override.
Based on #11984 by @maxchernin. Fixes#8259.
Some providers (MiniMax M2.7 via NVIDIA NIM) resend the full function
name in every streaming chunk instead of only the first. The old
accumulator used += which concatenated them into 'read_fileread_file'.
Changed to simple assignment (=), matching the OpenAI Node SDK, LiteLLM,
and Vercel AI SDK patterns. Function names are atomic identifiers
delivered complete — no provider splits them across chunks, so
concatenation was never correct semantics.
Pass 3 of `_prune_old_tool_results` previously shrunk long `function.arguments`
blobs by slicing the raw JSON string at byte 200 and appending the literal
text `...[truncated]`. That routinely produced payloads like::
{"path": "/foo.md", "content": "# Long markdown
...[truncated]
— an unterminated string with no closing brace. Strict providers (observed
on MiniMax) reject this as `invalid function arguments json string` with a
non-retryable 400. Because the broken call survives in the session history,
every subsequent turn re-sends the same malformed payload and gets the same
400, locking the session into a re-send loop until the call falls out of
the window.
Fix: parse the arguments first, shrink long string leaves inside the parsed
structure, and re-serialise. Non-string values (paths, ints, booleans, lists)
pass through intact. Arguments that are not valid JSON to begin with (rare,
some backends use non-JSON tool args) are returned unchanged rather than
replaced with something neither we nor the provider can parse.
Observed in the wild: a `write_file` with ~800 chars of markdown `content`
triggered this on a real session against MiniMax-M2.7; every turn after
compression got rejected until the session was manually reset.
Tests:
- 7 direct tests of `_truncate_tool_call_args_json` covering valid-JSON
output, non-JSON pass-through, nested structures, non-string leaves,
scalar JSON, and Unicode preservation
- 1 end-to-end test through `_prune_old_tool_results` Pass 3 that
reproduces the exact failure payload shape from the incident

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(nous): respect 'Skip (keep current)' after OAuth login
When a user already set up on another provider (e.g. OpenRouter) runs
`hermes model` and picks Nous Portal, OAuth succeeds and then a model
picker is shown. If the user picks 'Skip (keep current)', the previous
provider + model should be preserved.
Previously, \_update_config_for_provider was called unconditionally after
login, which flipped config.yaml model.provider to 'nous' while keeping
the old model.default (e.g. anthropic/claude-opus-4.6 from OpenRouter),
leaving the user with a mismatched provider/model pair on the next
request.
Fix: snapshot the prior active_provider before login, and if no model is
selected (Skip, or no models available, or fetch failure), restore the
prior active_provider and leave config.yaml untouched. The Nous OAuth
tokens stay saved so future `hermes model` -> Nous works without
re-authenticating.
Test plan:
- New tests cover Skip path (preserves provider+model, saves creds),
pick-a-model path (switches to nous), and fresh-install Skip path
(active_provider cleared, not stuck as 'nous').
The cherry-picked SDK compat fix (previous commit) wired process() to
parse CallbackMessage.data into a ChatbotMessage, but _extract_text()
was still written against the pre-0.20 payload shape:
* message.text changed from dict {content: ...} → TextContent object.
The old code's str(text) fallback produced 'TextContent(content=...)'
as the agent's input, so every received message came in mangled.
* rich_text moved from message.rich_text (list) to
message.rich_text_content.rich_text_list.
This preserves legacy fallbacks (dict-shaped text, bare rich_text list)
while handling the current SDK layout via hasattr(text, 'content').
Adds regression tests covering:
* webhook domain allowlist (api.*, oapi.*, and hostile lookalikes)
* _IncomingHandler.process is a coroutine function
* _extract_text against TextContent object, dict, rich_text_content,
legacy rich_text, and empty-message cases
Also adds kevinskysunny to scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP (release CI
blocks unmapped emails).

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

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

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

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

* fix(matrix): register MembershipEventDispatcher for invite auto-join
The mautrix migration (#7518) broke auto-join because InternalEventType.INVITE
events are only dispatched when MembershipEventDispatcher is registered on the
client. Without it, _on_invite is dead code and the bot silently ignores all
room invites.

* fix(matrix): preserve _joined_rooms reference for CryptoStateStore
connect() reassigned self._joined_rooms = set(...) after initial sync,
orphaning the reference captured by _CryptoStateStore at init time.

on membership changes.
Mutate in place with clear() + update() so the CryptoStateStore reference
stays valid.

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

* fix(matrix): re-verify device keys after share_keys() upload
Matrix homeservers treat ed25519 identity keys as immutable per device.
share_keys() can return 200 but silently ignore new keys if the device
already exists with different identity keys. The bot would proceed with
shared=True while peers encrypt to the old (unreachable) keys.
Now re-queries the server after share_keys() and fails closed if keys
don't match, with an actionable error message.
Refs #8174, PR #8215
* fix(matrix): encrypt outbound attachments in E2EE rooms
_upload_and_send() uploaded raw bytes and used the 'url' key for all
rooms. In E2EE rooms, media must be encrypted client-side with
encrypt_attachment(), the ciphertext uploaded, and the 'file' key
(with key/iv/hashes) used instead of 'url'.
Now detects encrypted rooms via state_store.is_encrypted() and
branches to the encrypted upload path.
Refs: PR #9822 (charles-brooks)
* fix(matrix): add stop_typing to clear typing indicator after response
The adapter set a 30-second typing timeout but never cleared it.
The base class stop_typing() is a no-op, so the typing indicator
lingered for up to 30 seconds after each response.
Closes#6016

* fix(matrix): cache all media types locally, not just photos/voice
should_cache_locally only covered PHOTO, VOICE, and encrypted media.

in 401 errors.
Refs #3487, #3806
* fix(matrix): detect stale OTK conflict on startup and fail closed
When crypto state is wiped but the same device ID is reused, the
homeserver may still hold one-time keys signed with the previous
identity key. Identity key re-upload succeeds but OTK uploads fail
with "already exists" and a signature mismatch. Peers cannot
establish new Olm sessions, so all new messages are undecryptable.
Now proactively flushes OTKs via share_keys() during connect() and
catches the "already exists" error with an actionable log message
telling the operator to purge the device from the homeserver or
generate a fresh device ID.
Also documents the crypto store recovery procedure in the Matrix
setup guide.

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

resolve_vision_provider_client() was receiving the raw call_llm
parameters instead of the resolved provider/model/key/url from

provider_model_ids() and list_authenticated_providers() had no case for
"ollama-cloud", so the /model slash command showed 0 models despite
fetch_ollama_cloud_models() being fully implemented. The CLI subcommand
worked because it called fetch_ollama_cloud_models() directly.
- Add ollama-cloud case to provider_model_ids() in models.py
- Populate curated dict for ollama-cloud in list_authenticated_providers()
- Add tests for both code paths
When a cron job's agent run completes but produces an empty final_response
(e.g. API 404 from invalid model name), the scheduler now marks last_status
as "error" instead of "ok", so the failure is visible in job listings.
Previously, any run that didn't raise an exception was marked "ok" regardless
of whether the agent actually produced output.
Group A (3 tests): 'No LLM provider configured' RuntimeError
- test_user_message_surrogates_sanitized, test_counters_initialized_in_init,
test_openai_prompt_tokens_unchanged
- Root cause: AIAgent.__init__ now requires base_url alongside api_key to
skip resolve_provider_client() (which returns None when API keys are
blanked in CI). Added base_url='http://localhost:1234/v1' to test
agent construction.
Group B (5 tests): Discord slash command auto-registration
- test_auto_registers_missing_gateway_commands, test_auto_registered_command_*,
test_register_skill_group_*
- Root cause: xdist workers that loaded a discord mock WITHOUT
app_commands.Command/Group caused _register_slash_commands() to fail
silently. Added comprehensive shared discord mock in
tests/gateway/conftest.py (same pattern as existing telegram mock).
Group C (5 errors): Discord reply mode 'NoneType has no DMChannel'
- All TestReplyToText tests
- Root cause: FakeDMChannel was not a subclass of real discord.DMChannel,
so isinstance() checks in _handle_message failed when running in full
suite (real discord installed). Made FakeDMChannel inherit from
discord.DMChannel when available. Removed fragile monkeypatch approach.
Group D (2 tests): detect_provider_for_model wrong provider
- test_openrouter_slug_match (got 'ai-gateway'), test_bare_name_gets_
openrouter_slug (got 'copilot')
- Root cause: ai-gateway, copilot, and kilocode are multi-vendor
aggregators that list other providers' models (OpenRouter-style slugs).
They were being matched in Step 1 before OpenRouter. Added all three
to _AGGREGATORS set so they're skipped like nous/openrouter.
Group E (1 test): model_flow_custom StopIteration
- test_model_flow_custom_saves_verified_v1_base_url
- Root cause: 'Display name' prompt was added after the test was written.
The input iterator had 5 answers but the flow now asks 6 questions.
Added 6th empty string answer.
Group F (1 test): Telegram proxy env assertion
- test_uses_proxy_env_for_primary_and_fallback_transports
- Root cause: _resolve_proxy_url() now checks TELEGRAM_PROXY first
(via resolve_proxy_url('TELEGRAM_PROXY')). Test didn't clear this
env var, allowing potential leakage from other tests in xdist workers.
Added TELEGRAM_PROXY to the cleanup list.
config.yaml terminal.cwd is now the single source of truth for working
directory. MESSAGING_CWD and TERMINAL_CWD in .env are deprecated with a
migration warning.
Changes:
1. config.py: Remove MESSAGING_CWD from OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS (setup wizard
no longer prompts for it). Add warn_deprecated_cwd_env_vars() that
prints a migration hint when deprecated env vars are detected.
2. gateway/run.py: Replace all MESSAGING_CWD reads with TERMINAL_CWD
(which is bridged from config.yaml terminal.cwd). MESSAGING_CWD is
still accepted as a backward-compat fallback with deprecation warning.
Config bridge skips cwd placeholder values so they don't clobber
the resolved TERMINAL_CWD.
3. cli.py: Guard against lazy-import clobbering — when cli.py is
imported lazily during gateway runtime (via delegate_tool), don't
let load_cli_config() overwrite an already-resolved TERMINAL_CWD
with os.getcwd() of the service's working directory. (#10817)
4. hermes_cli/main.py: Add 'hermes memory reset' command with
--target all/memory/user and --yes flags. Profile-scoped via
HERMES_HOME.

The gateway compression notifications were already removed in commit cc63b2d1
(PR #4139), but the agent-level context pressure warnings (85%/95% tiered
alerts via _emit_context_pressure) were still firing on both CLI and gateway.
Removed:
- _emit_context_pressure method and all call sites in run_conversation()
- Class-level dedup state (_context_pressure_last_warned, _CONTEXT_PRESSURE_COOLDOWN)
- Instance attribute _context_pressure_warned_at
- Pressure reset logic in _compress_context
- format_context_pressure and format_context_pressure_gateway from agent/display.py
- Orphaned ANSI constants that only served these functions
- tests/run_agent/test_context_pressure.py (all 361 lines)
Compression itself continues to run silently in the background.

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

Camofox automatically maps each userId to a persistent Firefox profile

Three targeted fixes for the 'agent stuck on terminal command' report:
1. **Concurrent tool wait loop now checks interrupts** (run_agent.py)
The sequential path checked _interrupt_requested before each tool call,
but the concurrent path's wait loop just blocked with 30s timeouts.
Now polls every 5s and cancels pending futures on interrupt, giving
already-running tools 3s to notice the per-thread interrupt signal.
2. **Cancelled concurrent tools get proper interrupt messages** (run_agent.py)
When a concurrent tool is cancelled or didn't return a result due to
interrupt, the tool result message says 'skipped due to user interrupt'
instead of a generic error.
3. **Typing indicator fires before follow-up turn** (gateway/run.py)
After an interrupt is acknowledged and the pending message dequeued,
the gateway now sends a typing indicator before starting the recursive
_run_agent call. This gives the user immediate visual feedback that
the system is processing their new message (closing the perceived
'dead air' gap between the interrupt ack and the response).
Reported by @_SushantSays.
Fixes 12 CI test failures:
1. test_cli_new_session (4): _FakeAgent missing commit_memory_session
attribute added in the memory provider refactoring. Added MagicMock.
2. test_run_progress_topics (1): already_sent detection only checked
stream consumer flags, missing the response_previewed path from
interim_assistant_callback. Restructured guard to check both paths.
3. test_timezone (1): HERMES_TIMEZONE leaked into child processes via
_SAFE_ENV_PREFIXES matching HERMES_*. The code correctly converts
it to TZ but didn't remove the original. Added child_env.pop().
4. test_session_env (1): contextvars baseline captured from a different
context couldn't be restored after clear. Changed assertion to verify
the test's value was removed rather than comparing to a fragile baseline.
5. test_discord_slash_commands (5): already fixed on current main.
When a user enters a local model server URL (Ollama, vLLM, llama.cpp)
without a /v1 suffix during 'hermes model' custom endpoint setup,
prompt them to add it. Most OpenAI-compatible local servers require
/v1 in the base URL for chat completions to work.
When a custom/Ollama provider is used and reasoning_effort is set to 'none'
(or enabled: false), inject 'think': false into the request extra_body.
Ollama does not recognise the OpenRouter-style 'reasoning' extra_body field,
so thinking-capable models (Qwen3, etc.) generate <think> blocks regardless
of the reasoning_effort setting. This produces empty-response errors that
corrupt session state.
The fix adds a provider-specific block in _build_api_kwargs() that sets
think=false in extra_body whenever self.provider == 'custom' and reasoning
is explicitly disabled.
Closes#3191
Gateway executor work now inherits the active session contextvars via

Cherry-picked from #10533 by @helix4u with:

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

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

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

_import_codex_cli_tokens to prevent real credentials from leaking into tests
Complete the half-built plugin slash command system. The dispatch
code in cli.py and gateway/run.py already called
get_plugin_command_handler() but the registration side was never
implemented.
Changes:
- Add register_command() to PluginContext — stores handler,
description, and plugin name; normalizes names; rejects conflicts
with built-in commands
- Add _plugin_commands dict to PluginManager
- Add commands_registered tracking on LoadedPlugin
- Add get_plugin_command_handler() and get_plugin_commands()
module-level convenience functions
- Fix commands.py to use actual plugin description in Telegram
bot menu (was hardcoded 'Plugin command')
- Add plugin commands to SlashCommandCompleter autocomplete
- Show command count in /plugins display
- 12 new tests covering registration, conflict detection,
normalization, handler dispatch, and introspection
Closes#10495
Telegram on iOS auto-converts double hyphens (--) to em dashes (—)
or en dashes (–) via autocorrect. This breaks /model flag parsing
since parse_model_flags() only recognizes literal '--provider' and
'--global'.
When the flag isn't parsed, the entire string (e.g. 'glm-5.1 —provider zai')
gets treated as the model name and fails with 'Model names cannot
contain spaces.'
Fix: normalize Unicode dashes (U+2012-U+2015) to '--' when they
appear before flag keywords (provider, global), before flag extraction.
The existing test suite in test_model_switch_provider_routing.py
already covers all four dash variants — this commit adds the code
that makes them pass.
Replace inline Path.home() / '.hermes' / 'profiles' detection in both CLI
and gateway /profile handlers with the existing get_active_profile_name()
from hermes_cli.profiles — which already handles custom-root deployments,
standard profiles, and Docker layouts.
Fixes /profile incorrectly reporting 'default' when HERMES_HOME points to
a custom-root profile path like /opt/data/profiles/coder.

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

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

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

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

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

Memory provider plugins (e.g. Mnemosyne) can register tools via two paths:
1. Plugin system (ctx.register_tool) → tool registry → get_tool_definitions()
2. Memory manager → get_all_tool_schemas() → direct append in AIAgent.__init__
Path 2 blindly appended without checking if path 1 already added the same
tool names. This created duplicate function names in the tools array sent
to the API. Most providers silently handle duplicates, but Xiaomi MiMo
(via Nous Portal) strictly rejects them with a 400 Bad Request.
Fix: build a set of existing tool names before memory manager injection
and skip any tool whose name is already present.
Confirmed via live testing against Nous Portal:
- Unique tool names → 200 OK
- Duplicate tool names → 400 'Provider returned error'
- Pastes uploaded by /debug now auto-delete after 1 hour via a detached
background process that sends DELETE to paste.rs
- CLI: shows privacy notice listing what data will be uploaded
- Gateway: only uploads summary report (system info + log tails), NOT
full log files containing conversation content
- Added 'hermes debug delete <url>' for immediate manual deletion
- 16 new tests covering auto-delete scheduling, paste deletion, privacy
notices, and the delete subcommand
Addresses user privacy concern where /debug uploaded full conversation
logs to a public paste service with no warning or expiry.
Two gateway fixes:
1. MessageDeduplicator.is_duplicate() now checks TTL at query time (#10306)
Previously, is_duplicate() returned True for any previously seen ID
without checking its age — expired entries were only purged when cache
size exceeded max_size. On normal workloads that never overflow, message
IDs stayed deduplicated forever instead of expiring after the TTL.
Fix: check `now - timestamp < ttl` before returning True. Expired
entries are removed and treated as new messages.
2. Gateway --config flag now uses yaml.safe_load() (#10216)
The --config CLI flag in gateway/run.py main() used json.load() to
parse config files. YAML is the only documented config format and
every other config loader uses yaml.safe_load(). A YAML config file
passed via --config would crash with json.JSONDecodeError.
Closes#10306Closes#10216
The on_memory_write bridge that notifies external memory providers
(ClawMem, retaindb, supermemory, etc.) of built-in memory writes was
only present in the concurrent tool execution path (_invoke_tool).
The sequential path (_execute_tool_calls_sequential) — which handles
all single tool calls, the common case — was missing it entirely.
This meant external memory providers silently missed every single-call
memory write, which is the vast majority of memory operations.
Fix: add the identical bridge block to the sequential path, right
after the memory_tool call returns.
Closes#10174
Multiple gaps in activity tracking could cause the gateway's inactivity
timeout to fire while the agent is actively working:
1. Streaming wait loop had no periodic heartbeat — the outer thread only
touched activity when the stale-stream detector fired (180-300s), and
for local providers (Ollama) the stale timeout was infinity, meaning
zero heartbeats. Now touches activity every 30s.
2. Concurrent tool execution never set the activity callback on worker
threads (threading.local invisible across threads) and never set
_current_tool. Workers now set the callback, and the concurrent wait
uses a polling loop with 30s heartbeats.
3. Modal backend's execute() override had its own polling loop without
any activity callback. Now matches _wait_for_process cadence (10s).
The _client_cache used event loop id() as part of the cache key, so
every new worker-thread event loop created a new entry for the same
provider config. In long-running gateways where threads are recycled
frequently, this caused unbounded cache growth — each stale entry
held an unclosed AsyncOpenAI client with its httpx connection pool,
eventually exhausting file descriptors.
Fix: remove loop_id from the cache key and instead validate on each
async cache hit that the cached loop is the current, open loop. If
the loop changed or was closed, the stale entry is replaced in-place
rather than creating an additional entry. This bounds cache growth
to at most one entry per unique provider config.
Also adds a _CLIENT_CACHE_MAX_SIZE (64) safety belt with FIFO
eviction as defense-in-depth against any remaining unbounded growth.
Cross-loop safety is preserved: different event loops still get
different client instances (validated by existing test suite).
Closes#10200
OV transparently handles message history across /new and /compress: old
messages stay in the same session and extraction is idempotent, so there's
no need to rebind providers to a new session_id. The only thing the
session boundary actually needs is to trigger extraction.
- MemoryProvider / MemoryManager: remove on_session_reset hook
- OpenViking: remove on_session_reset override (nothing to do)
- AIAgent: replace rotate_memory_session with commit_memory_session
(just calls on_session_end, no rebind)
- cli.py / run_agent.py: single commit_memory_session call at the
session boundary before session_id rotates
- tests: replace on_session_reset coverage with routing tests for
MemoryManager.on_session_end
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replace hasattr-forked OpenViking-specific paths with a proper base-class
hook. Collapse the two agent wrappers into a single rotate_memory_session
so callers don't orchestrate commit + rebind themselves.
- MemoryProvider: add on_session_reset(new_session_id) as a default no-op
- MemoryManager: on_session_reset fans out unconditionally (no hasattr,
no builtin skip — base no-op covers it)
- OpenViking: rename reset_session -> on_session_reset; drop the explicit
POST /api/v1/sessions (OV auto-creates on first message) and the two
debug raise_for_status wrappers
- AIAgent: collapse commit_memory_session + reinitialize_memory_session
into rotate_memory_session(new_sid, messages)
- cli.py / run_agent.py: replace hasattr blocks and the split calls with
a single unconditional rotate_memory_session call; compression path
now passes the real messages list instead of []
- tests: align with on_session_reset, assert reset does NOT POST /sessions

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

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

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

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

When compression fails after max attempts, the agent returns
{completed: False, partial: True} but was missing the 'failed' flag.
The gateway's agent_failed_early guard checked for 'failed' AND
'not final_response', but _run_agent_blocking always converts errors
to final_response — making the guard dead code. This caused the
oversized session to persist, creating an infinite fail loop where
every subsequent message hits the same compression failure.
Changes:
- run_agent.py: add 'failed: True' and 'compression_exhausted: True'
to all 5 compression-exhaustion return paths
- gateway/run.py (_run_agent_blocking): forward 'failed' and
'compression_exhausted' flags through to the caller
- gateway/run.py (_handle_message_with_agent): fix agent_failed_early
to check bool(failed) without the broken 'not final_response' clause;
auto-reset the session when compression is exhausted so the next
message starts fresh
- Update tests to match new guard logic and add
TestCompressionExhaustedFlag test class
Closes#9893
The /v1/responses endpoint generated a new UUID session_id for every
request, even when previous_response_id was provided. This caused each
turn of a multi-turn conversation to appear as a separate session on the
web dashboard, despite the conversation history being correctly chained.
Fix: store session_id alongside the response in the ResponseStore, and
reuse it when a subsequent request chains via previous_response_id.
Applies to both the non-streaming /v1/responses path and the streaming
SSE path. The /v1/runs endpoint also gains session continuity from
stored responses (explicit body.session_id still takes priority).
Adds test verifying session_id is preserved across chained requests.
The streaming path emits output as content-part arrays for Open WebUI
compatibility, but the batch (non-streaming) Responses API path must
return output as a plain string per the OpenAI Responses API spec.
Reverts the _extract_output_items change from the cherry-picked commits
while preserving the streaming path's array format.
API keys containing Unicode lookalike characters (e.g. ʋ U+028B instead
of v) cause UnicodeEncodeError when httpx encodes the Authorization
header as ASCII. This commonly happens when users copy-paste keys from
PDFs, rich-text editors, or web pages with decorative fonts.
Three layers of defense:
1. **Save-time validation** (hermes_cli/config.py):
_check_non_ascii_credential() strips non-ASCII from credential values
when saving to .env, with a clear warning explaining the issue.
2. **Load-time sanitization** (hermes_cli/env_loader.py):
_sanitize_loaded_credentials() strips non-ASCII from credential env
vars (those ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY) after dotenv
loads them, so the rest of the codebase never sees non-ASCII keys.
3. **Runtime recovery** (run_agent.py):
The UnicodeEncodeError recovery block now also sanitizes self.api_key
and self._client_kwargs['api_key'], fixing the gap where message/tool
sanitization succeeded but the API key still caused httpx to fail on
the Authorization header.
Also: hermes_logging.py RotatingFileHandler now explicitly sets
encoding='utf-8' instead of relying on locale default (defensive
hardening for ASCII-locale systems).
Previously, systemd_restart() sent SIGUSR1 to the gateway, printed
'restart requested', and returned immediately. The gateway still
needed to drain active agents, exit with code 75, wait for systemd's
RestartSec=30, and start the new process. The user saw 'success' but
the gateway was actually down for 30-60 seconds.
Now the SIGUSR1 path blocks with progress feedback:
Phase 1 — wait for old process to die:
⏳ User service draining active work...
Polls os.kill(pid, 0) until ProcessLookupError (up to 90s)
Phase 2 — wait for new process to become active:
⏳ Waiting for hermes-gateway to restart...
Polls systemctl is-active + verifies new PID (up to 60s)
Success:
✓ User service restarted (PID 12345)
Timeout:
⚠ User service did not become active within 60s.
Check status: hermes gateway status
Check logs: journalctl --user -u hermes-gateway --since '2 min ago'
The reload-or-restart fallback path (line 1189) already blocks because
systemctl reload-or-restart is synchronous.
Test plan:
- Updated test to verify wait-for-restart behavior
- All 118 gateway CLI tests pass
When a session gets stuck (hung terminal, runaway tool loop) and the
user restarts the gateway, the same session history loads and puts the
agent right back in the stuck state. The user is trapped in a loop:
restart → stuck → restart → stuck.
Fix: track restart-failure counts per session using a simple JSON file
(.restart_failure_counts). On each shutdown with active agents, the
counter increments for those sessions. On startup, if any session has
been active across 3+ consecutive restarts, it's auto-suspended —
giving the user a clean slate on their next message.
The counter resets to 0 when a session completes a turn successfully
(response delivered), so normal sessions that happen to be active
during planned restarts (/restart, hermes update) won't accumulate
false counts.
Implementation:
- _increment_restart_failure_counts(): called during stop() when
agents are active. Writes {session_key: count} to JSON file.
Sessions NOT active are dropped (loop broken).
- _suspend_stuck_loop_sessions(): called on startup. Reads the file,
suspends sessions at threshold (3), clears the file.
- _clear_restart_failure_count(): called after successful response
delivery. Removes the session from the counter file.
No SessionEntry schema changes. No database migration. Pure file-based
tracking that naturally cleans up.
Test plan:
- 9 new stuck-loop tests (increment, accumulate, threshold, clear,
suspend, file cleanup, edge cases)
- All 28 gateway lifecycle tests pass (restart drain + auto-continue
+ stuck loop)
When the gateway restarts mid-agent-work, the session transcript ends
on a tool result the agent never processed. Previously, the user had
to type 'continue' or use /retry (which replays from scratch, losing
all prior work).
Now, when the next user message arrives and the loaded history ends
with role='tool', a system note is prepended:
[System note: Your previous turn was interrupted before you could
process the last tool result(s). Please finish processing those
results and summarize what was accomplished, then address the
user's new message below.]
This is injected in _run_agent()'s run_sync closure, right before
calling agent.run_conversation(). The agent sees the full history
(including the pending tool results) and the system note, so it can
summarize what was accomplished and then handle the user's new input.
Design decisions:
- No new session flags or schema changes — purely detects trailing
tool messages in the loaded history
- Works for any restart scenario (clean, crash, SIGTERM, drain timeout)
as long as the session wasn't suspended (suspended = fresh start)
- The user's actual message is preserved after the note
- If the session WAS suspended (unclean shutdown), the old history is
abandoned and the user starts fresh — no false auto-continue
Also updates the shutdown notification message from 'Use /retry after
restart to continue' to 'Send any message after restart to resume
where it left off' — which is now accurate.
Test plan:
- 6 new auto-continue tests (trailing tool detection, no false
positives for assistant/user/empty history, multi-tool, message
preservation)
- All 13 restart drain tests pass (updated /retry assertion)
Refactor browser tool PATH construction to include Termux directories
(/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin, /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/sbin)
so agent-browser and npx are discoverable on Android/Termux.
Extracts _browser_candidate_path_dirs() and _merge_browser_path() helpers
to centralize PATH construction shared between _find_agent_browser() and
_run_browser_command(), replacing duplicated inline logic.
Also fixes os.pathsep usage (was hardcoded ':') for cross-platform correctness.
Cherry-picked from PR #9846.
Instead of consuming one top-level slash command slot per skill (hitting the
100-command limit with ~26 built-ins + 74 skills), skills are now organized
under a single /skill group command with category-based subcommand groups:
/skill creative ascii-art [args]
/skill media gif-search [args]
/skill mlops axolotl [args]
Discord supports 25 subcommand groups × 25 subcommands = 625 max skills,
well beyond the previous 74-slot ceiling.
Categories are derived from the skill directory structure:
- skills/creative/ascii-art/ → category 'creative'
- skills/mlops/training/axolotl/ → category 'mlops' (top-level parent)
- skills/dogfood/ → uncategorized (direct subcommand)
Changes:
- hermes_cli/commands.py: add discord_skill_commands_by_category() with
category grouping, hub/disabled filtering, Discord limit enforcement
- gateway/platforms/discord.py: replace top-level skill registration with
_register_skill_group() using app_commands.Group hierarchy
- tests: 7 new tests covering group creation, category grouping,
uncategorized skills, hub exclusion, deep nesting, empty skills,
and handler dispatch
Inspired by Discord community suggestion from bottium.
Add dangerous command patterns that require approval when the agent
tries to run gateway lifecycle commands via the terminal tool:
- hermes gateway stop/restart — kills all running agents mid-work
- hermes update — pulls code and restarts the gateway
- systemctl restart/stop (with optional flags like --user)
These patterns fire the approval prompt so the user must explicitly
approve before the agent can kill its own gateway process. In YOLO
mode, the commands run without approval (by design — YOLO means the
user accepts all risks).
Also fixes the existing systemctl pattern to handle flags between
the command and action (e.g. 'systemctl --user restart' was previously
undetected because the regex expected the action immediately after
'systemctl').
Root cause: issue #6666 reported agents running 'hermes gateway
restart' via terminal, killing the gateway process mid-agent-loop.
The user sees the agent suddenly stop responding with no explanation.
Combined with the SIGTERM auto-recovery from PR #9875, the gateway
now both prevents accidental self-destruction AND recovers if it
happens anyway.
Test plan:
- Updated test_systemctl_restart_not_flagged → test_systemctl_restart_flagged
- All 119 approval tests pass
- E2E verified: hermes gateway restart, hermes update, systemctl
--user restart all detected; hermes gateway status, systemctl
status remain safe
- TestHealthDetailedEndpoint: 3 tests for the new API server endpoint
(returns runtime data, handles missing status, no auth required)
- TestProbeGatewayHealth: 5 tests for _probe_gateway_health()
(URL normalization, successful/failed probes, fallback chain)
- TestStatusRemoteGateway: 4 tests for /api/status remote fallback
(remote probe triggers, skipped when local PID found, null PID handling)
Feishu approval clicks need the resolved card to come back from the
synchronous callback path itself. Leaving approval resolution to the
generic asynchronous card-action flow made button feedback depend on
later loop work instead of the callback response the client is waiting
for.
Change-Id: I574997cbbcaa097fdba759b47367e28d1b56b040
Constraint: Feishu card-action callbacks must acknowledge quickly and reflect final approval state from the callback response path
Rejected: Keep approval handling on the generic async card-action route | leaves card state synchronization vulnerable to callback timing and follow-up update ordering
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep approval callback response construction separate from async queue unblocking unless Feishu callback semantics change
Tested: pytest tests/gateway/test_feishu.py tests/gateway/test_feishu_approval_buttons.py tests/gateway/test_approve_deny_commands.py tests/gateway/test_slack_approval_buttons.py tests/gateway/test_telegram_approval_buttons.py -q

Three fixes for gateway lifecycle stability:
1. Notify active sessions before shutdown (#new)
When the gateway receives SIGTERM or /restart, it now sends a
notification to every chat with an active agent BEFORE starting
the drain. Users see:
- Shutdown: 'Gateway shutting down — your task will be interrupted.'
- Restart: 'Gateway restarting — use /retry after restart to continue.'
Deduplicates per-chat so group sessions with multiple users get
one notification. Best-effort: send failures are logged and swallowed.
2. Skip .clean_shutdown marker when drain timed out
Previously, a graceful SIGTERM always wrote .clean_shutdown, even if
agents were force-interrupted when the drain timed out. This meant
the next startup skipped session suspension, leaving interrupted
sessions in a broken state (trailing tool response, no final message).
Now the marker is only written if the drain completed without timeout,
so interrupted sessions get properly suspended on next startup.
3. Post-restart health check for hermes update (#6631)
cmd_update() now verifies the gateway actually survived after
systemctl restart (sleep 3s + is-active check). If the service
crashed immediately, it retries once. If still dead, prints
actionable diagnostics (journalctl command, manual restart hint).
Also closes#8104 — already fixed on main (the /restart handler
correctly detects systemd via INVOCATION_ID and uses via_service=True).
Test plan:
- 6 new tests for shutdown notifications (dedup, restart vs shutdown
messaging, sentinel filtering, send failure resilience)
- Existing restart drain + update tests pass (47 total)
Seed qwen-oauth credentials from resolve_qwen_runtime_credentials() in
_seed_from_singletons(). Users who authenticate via 'qwen auth qwen-oauth'
store tokens in ~/.qwen/oauth_creds.json which the runtime resolver reads
but the credential pool couldn't detect — same gap pattern as copilot.
Uses refresh_if_expiring=False to avoid network calls during discovery.
Seed copilot credentials from resolve_copilot_token() in the credential
pool's _seed_from_singletons(), alongside the existing anthropic and
openai-codex seeding logic. This makes copilot appear in the /model
provider picker when the user authenticates solely through gh auth token.
Cherry-picked from PR #9767 by Marvae.
Follow-up for cherry-picked PR #9746 — three pre-existing tests used
adapter._webhook_url (bare URL) in mock data, but _register_webhook
and _unregister_webhook now compare against _webhook_register_url
(password-bearing URL). Updated to match.
When BlueBubbles posts webhook events to the adapter, it uses the exact
URL registered via /api/v1/webhook — and BB's registration API does not
support custom headers. The adapter currently registers the bare URL
(no credentials), but then requires password auth on inbound POSTs,
rejecting every webhook with HTTP 401.
This is masked on fresh BB installs by a race condition: the webhook
might register once with a prior (possibly patched) URL and keep working
until the first restart. On v0.9.0, _unregister_webhook runs on clean
shutdown, so the next startup re-registers with the bare URL and the
401s begin. Users see the bot go silent with no obvious cause.
Root cause: there's no way to pass auth credentials from BB to the
webhook handler except via the URL itself. BB accepts query params and
preserves them on outbound POSTs.
## Fix
Introduce `_webhook_register_url` — the URL handed to BB's registration
API, with the configured password appended as a `?password=<value>`
query param. The existing webhook auth handler already accepts this
form (it reads `request.query.get("password")`), so no change to the
receive side is needed.
The bare `_webhook_url` is still used for logging and for binding the
local listener, so credentials don't leak into log output. Only the
registration/find/unregister paths use the password-bearing form.
## Notes
- Password is URL-encoded via urllib.parse.quote, handling special
characters (&, *, @, etc.) that would otherwise break parsing.
- Storing the password in BB's webhook table is not a new disclosure:
anyone with access to that table already has the BB admin password
(same credential used for every other API call).
- If `self.password` is empty (no auth configured), the register URL
is the bare URL — preserves current behavior for unauthenticated
local-only setups.

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

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

When GATEWAY_PROXY_URL (or gateway.proxy_url in config.yaml) is set,
the gateway becomes a thin relay: it handles platform I/O (encryption,
threading, media) and delegates all agent work to a remote Hermes API
server via POST /v1/chat/completions with SSE streaming.
This enables the primary use case of running a Matrix E2EE gateway in
Docker on Linux while the actual agent runs on the host (e.g. macOS)
with full access to local files, memory, skills, and a unified session
store. Works for any platform adapter, not just Matrix.
Configuration:
- GATEWAY_PROXY_URL env var (Docker-friendly)
- gateway.proxy_url in config.yaml
- GATEWAY_PROXY_KEY env var for API auth (matches API_SERVER_KEY)
- X-Hermes-Session-Id header for session continuity
Architecture:
- _get_proxy_url() checks env var first, then config.yaml
- _run_agent_via_proxy() handles HTTP forwarding with SSE streaming
- _run_agent() delegates to proxy path when URL is configured
- Platform streaming (GatewayStreamConsumer) works through proxy
- Returns compatible result dict for session store recording
Files changed:
- gateway/run.py: proxy mode implementation (~250 lines)
- hermes_cli/config.py: GATEWAY_PROXY_URL + GATEWAY_PROXY_KEY env vars
- tests/gateway/test_proxy_mode.py: 17 tests covering config
resolution, dispatch, HTTP forwarding, error handling, message
filtering, and result shape validation
Closes discussion from Cars29 re: Matrix gateway mixed-mode issue.
The dynamic parser walker from the contributor's commit lost the profile
name tab-completion that existed in the old static generators. This adds
it back for all three shells:
- Bash: _hermes_profiles() helper, -p/--profile completion, profile
action→name completion (use/delete/show/alias/rename/export)
- Zsh: _hermes_profiles() function, -p/--profile argument spec, profile
action case with name completion
- Fish: __hermes_profiles function, -s p -l profile flag, profile action
completions
Also removes the dead fallback path in cmd_completion() that imported
the old static generators from profiles.py (parser is always available
via the lambda wiring) and adds 11 regression-prevention tests for
profile completion.
Replaces the hardcoded completion stubs in profiles.py with a dynamic
generator that walks the live argparse parser tree at runtime.
- New hermes_cli/completion.py: _walk() recursively extracts all
subcommands and flags; generate_bash/zsh/fish() produce complete
scripts with nested subcommand support
- cmd_completion now accepts the parser via closure so completions
always reflect the actual registered commands (including plugin-
registered ones like honcho)
- completion subcommand now accepts bash | zsh | fish (fish requested
in issue comments)
- Fix _SUBCOMMANDS set: add honcho, claw, plugins, acp, webhook,
memory, dump, debug, backup, import, completion, logs so that
multi-word session names after -c/-r are not broken by these commands
- Add tests/hermes_cli/test_completion.py: 17 tests covering parser
extraction, alias deduplication, bash/zsh/fish output content,
bash syntax validation, fish syntax validation, and subcommand
drift prevention
Tested on Linux (Arch). bash and fish completion verified live.
zsh script passes syntax check (zsh not installed on test machine).

Add ctx.register_skill() API so plugins can ship SKILL.md files under
a 'plugin:skill' namespace, preventing name collisions with built-in
Hermes skills. skill_view() detects the ':' separator and routes to
the plugin registry while bare names continue through the existing
flat-tree scan unchanged.
Key additions:
- agent/skill_utils: parse_qualified_name(), is_valid_namespace()
- hermes_cli/plugins: PluginContext.register_skill(), PluginManager
skill registry (find/list/remove)
- tools/skills_tool: qualified name dispatch in skill_view(),
_serve_plugin_skill() with full guards (disabled, platform,
injection scan), bundle context banner with sibling listing,
stale registry self-heal
- Hoisted _INJECTION_PATTERNS to module level (dedup)
- Updated skill_view schema description
Based on PR #9334 by N0nb0at. Lean P1 salvage — omits autogen shim
(P2) for a simpler first merge.
Closes#8422
- test_auth_commands: suppress _seed_from_singletons auto-seeding that
adds extra credentials from CI env (same pattern as nearby tests)
- test_interrupt: clear stale _interrupted_threads set to prevent
thread ident reuse from prior tests in same xdist worker
- test_code_execution: add watch_patterns to _BLOCKED_TERMINAL_PARAMS
to match production _TERMINAL_BLOCKED_PARAMS
During rapid tool-calling, the model often emits 1-2 tokens before
switching to tool calls. The stream consumer would create a new message
with 'X ▉' (short text + cursor), and if the follow-up edit to strip
the cursor was rate-limited by the platform, the cursor remained as
a permanent standalone message — reported on Telegram as 'white box'
artifacts.
Add a minimum-content guard in _send_or_edit: when creating a new
standalone message (no existing message_id), require at least 4
visible characters alongside the cursor before sending. Shorter text
accumulates into the next streaming segment instead.
This prevents cursor-only 'tofu' messages across all platforms without
affecting normal streaming (edits to existing messages, final sends
without cursor, and messages with substantial text are all unaffected).

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

During custom endpoint setup, users are now asked for a display name
with the auto-generated name as the default. Typing 'Ollama' or
'LM Studio' replaces the generic 'Local (localhost:11434)' in the
provider menu.
Extracts _auto_provider_name() for reuse and adds a name= parameter
to _save_custom_provider() so the caller can pass through the
user-chosen label.
Models like MiniMax emit inline <think>...</think> reasoning blocks in
their content field. The CLI already suppresses these via a state machine
in _stream_delta, but the gateway's GatewayStreamConsumer had no
equivalent filtering — raw think blocks were streamed directly to
Discord/Telegram/Slack.
The fix adds a _filter_and_accumulate() method that mirrors the CLI's
approach: a state machine tracks whether we're inside a reasoning block
and silently discards the content. Includes the same block-boundary
check (tag must appear at line start or after whitespace-only prefix)
to avoid false positives when models mention <think> in prose.
Handles all tag variants: <think>, <thinking>, <THINKING>, <thought>,
<reasoning>, <REASONING_SCRATCHPAD>.
Also handles edge cases:
- Tags split across streaming deltas (partial tag buffering)
- Unclosed blocks (content suppressed until stream ends)
- Multiple consecutive blocks
- _flush_think_buffer on stream end for held-back partial tags
Adds 22 unit tests + 1 integration test covering all scenarios.
Plugins can now return {"action": "block", "message": "reason"} from
their pre_tool_call hook to prevent a tool from executing. The error
message is returned to the model as a tool result so it can adjust.
Covers both execution paths: handle_function_call (model_tools.py) and
agent-level tools (run_agent.py _invoke_tool + sequential/concurrent).
Blocked tools skip all side effects (counter resets, checkpoints,
callbacks, read-loop tracker).
Adds skip_pre_tool_call_hook flag to avoid double-firing the hook when
run_agent.py already checked and then calls handle_function_call.
Salvaged from PR #5385 (gianfrancopiana) and PR #4610 (oredsecurity).
When the 5-second stream_task timeout in gateway/run.py expires (due to
slow Telegram API calls from rate limiting after several messages), the
stream consumer is cancelled via asyncio.CancelledError. The
CancelledError handler did a best-effort final edit but never set
final_response_sent, so the gateway fell through to the normal send path
and delivered the full response again as a reply — causing a duplicate.
The fix: in the CancelledError handler, set final_response_sent = True
when already_sent is True (i.e., the stream consumer had already
delivered content to the user). This tells the gateway's already_sent
check that the response was delivered, preventing the duplicate send.
Adds two tests verifying the cancellation behavior:
- Cancelled with already_sent=True → final_response_sent=True (no dup)
- Cancelled with already_sent=False → final_response_sent=False (normal
send path proceeds)
Reported by community user hume on Discord.
Port two improvements inspired by Kilo-Org/kilocode analysis:
1. Error classifier: add context overflow patterns for vLLM, Ollama,
and llama.cpp/llama-server. These local inference servers return
different error formats than cloud providers (e.g., 'exceeds the
max_model_len', 'context length exceeded', 'slot context'). Without
these patterns, context overflow errors from local servers are
misclassified as format errors, causing infinite retries instead
of triggering compression.
2. MCP initial connection retry: previously, if the very first
connection attempt to an MCP server failed (e.g., transient DNS
blip at startup), the server was permanently marked as failed with
no retry. Post-connect reconnection had 5 retries with exponential
backoff, but initial connection had zero. Now initial connections
retry up to 3 times with backoff before giving up, matching the
resilience of post-connect reconnection.
(Inspired by Kilo Code's MCP server disappearing fix in v1.3.3)
Tests: 6 new error classifier tests, 4 new MCP retry tests, 1
updated existing test. All 276 affected tests pass.
Adds Arcee AI as a standard direct provider (ARCEEAI_API_KEY) with
Trinity models: trinity-large-thinking, trinity-large-preview, trinity-mini.
Standard OpenAI-compatible provider checklist: auth.py, config.py,
models.py, main.py, providers.py, doctor.py, model_normalize.py,
model_metadata.py, setup.py, trajectory_compressor.py.
Based on PR #9274 by arthurbr11, simplified to a standard direct
provider without dual-endpoint OpenRouter routing.
The dashboard device-code flow (_nous_poller in web_server.py) saved
credentials to the credential pool only, while get_nous_auth_status()
only checked the auth store (auth.json). This caused the Keys tab to
show 'not connected' even when the backend was fully authenticated.
Two fixes:
1. get_nous_auth_status() now checks the credential pool first (like
get_codex_auth_status() already does), then falls back to the auth
store.
2. _nous_poller now also persists to the auth store after saving to
the credential pool, matching the CLI flow (_login_nous).
Adds 3 tests covering pool-only, auth-store-fallback, and empty-state
scenarios.
/stop was calling suspend_session() which marked the session for auto-reset
on the next message. This meant users lost their conversation history every
time they stopped a running agent — especially painful for untitled sessions
that can't be resumed by name.
Now /stop just interrupts the agent and cleans the session lock. The session
stays intact so users can continue the conversation.
The suspend behavior was introduced in #7536 to break stuck session resume
loops on gateway restart. That case is already handled by
suspend_recently_active() which runs at gateway startup, so removing it from
/stop doesn't regress the original fix.
Previously, long-running streamed responses could be incorrectly treated
as idle by the gateway/cron inactivity timeout even while tokens were
actively arriving. The _touch_activity() call (which feeds
get_activity_summary() polled by the external timeout) was either called
only on the first chunk (chat completions) or not at all (Anthropic,
Codex, Codex fallback).
Add _touch_activity() on every chunk/event in all four streaming paths
so the inactivity monitor knows data is still flowing.
Fixes#8760
The v11→v12 migration converts custom_providers (list) into providers
(dict), then deletes the list. But all runtime resolvers read from
custom_providers — after migration, named custom endpoints silently stop
resolving and fallback chains fail with AuthError.
Add get_compatible_custom_providers() that reads from both config schemas
(legacy custom_providers list + v12+ providers dict), normalizes entries,
deduplicates, and returns a unified list. Update ALL consumers:
- hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py: _get_named_custom_provider() + key_env
- hermes_cli/auth_commands.py: credential pool provider names
- hermes_cli/main.py: model picker + _model_flow_named_custom()
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: key_env + custom_entry model fallback
- agent/credential_pool.py: _iter_custom_providers()
- cli.py + gateway/run.py: /model switch custom_providers passthrough
- run_agent.py + gateway/run.py: per-model context_length lookup
Also: use config.pop() instead of del for safer migration, fix stale
_config_version assertions in tests, add pool mock to codex test.

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

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

Remove the backward-compat code paths that read compression provider/model
settings from legacy config keys and env vars, which caused silent failures
when auto-detection resolved to incompatible backends.
What changed:
- Remove compression.summary_model, summary_provider, summary_base_url from
DEFAULT_CONFIG and cli.py defaults
- Remove backward-compat block in _resolve_task_provider_model() that read
from the legacy compression section
- Remove _get_auxiliary_provider() and _get_auxiliary_env_override() helper
functions (AUXILIARY_*/CONTEXT_* env var readers)
- Remove env var fallback chain for per-task overrides
- Update hermes config show to read from auxiliary.compression
- Add config migration (v16→17) that moves non-empty legacy values to
auxiliary.compression and strips the old keys
- Update example config and openclaw migration script
- Remove/update tests for deleted code paths
Compression model/provider is now configured exclusively via:
auxiliary.compression.provider / auxiliary.compression.model
Closes#8923
Updated the acquire_scoped_lock function to treat empty or corrupt lock files as stale. This change ensures that if a lock file exists but is invalid, it will be removed to prevent issues with stale locks. Added tests to verify recovery from both empty and corrupt lock files.
Three targeted changes to close the gaps between retry layers that
caused users to experience 'No response from provider for 580s' and
'No activity for 15 minutes' despite having 5 layers of retry:
1. Remove non-streaming fallback from streaming path
Previously, when all 3 stream retries exhausted, the code fell back
to _interruptible_api_call() which had no stale detection and no
activity tracking — a black hole that could hang for up to 1800s.
Now errors propagate to the main retry loop which has richer recovery
(credential rotation, provider fallback, backoff).
For 'stream not supported' errors, sets _disable_streaming flag so
the main retry loop automatically switches to non-streaming on the
next attempt.
2. Add _touch_activity to recovery dead zones
The gateway inactivity monitor relies on _touch_activity() to know
the agent is alive, but activity was never touched during:
- Stale stream detection/kill cycles (180-300s gaps)
- Stream retry connection rebuilds
- Main retry backoff sleeps (up to 120s)
- Error recovery classification
Now all these paths touch activity every ~30s, keeping the gateway
informed during recovery cycles.
3. Add stale-call detector to non-streaming path
_interruptible_api_call() now has the same stale detection pattern
as the streaming path: kills hung connections after 300s (default,
configurable via HERMES_API_CALL_STALE_TIMEOUT), scaled for large
contexts (450s for 50K+ tokens, 600s for 100K+ tokens), disabled
for local providers.
Also touches activity every ~30s during the wait so the gateway
monitor stays informed.
Env vars:
- HERMES_API_CALL_STALE_TIMEOUT: non-streaming stale timeout (default 300s)
- HERMES_STREAM_STALE_TIMEOUT: unchanged (default 180s)
Before: worst case ~2+ hours of sequential retries with no feedback
After: worst case bounded by gateway inactivity timeout (default 1800s)
with continuous activity reporting
- Store source metadata on /voice channel join so voice input shares the
same session as the linked text channel conversation
- Treat voice-linked text channels as free-response (skip @mention and
auto-thread) while voice is active
- Scope the voice-linked exemption to the exact bound channel, not
sibling threads
- Guard signal handler registration in start_gateway() for non-main
threads (prevents RuntimeError when gateway runs in a daemon thread)
- Clean up _voice_sources on leave_voice_channel
Salvaged from PR #3475 by twilwa (Modal runtime portions excluded).
Three changes consolidated into the existing backup system:
1. Fix: hermes backup now uses sqlite3.Connection.backup() for .db files
instead of raw file copy. Raw copy of a WAL-mode database can produce
a corrupted backup — the backup() API handles this correctly.
2. hermes backup --quick: fast snapshot of just critical state files
(config.yaml, state.db, .env, auth.json, cron/jobs.json, etc.)
stored in ~/.hermes/state-snapshots/. Auto-prunes to 20 snapshots.
3. /snapshot slash command (alias /snap): in-session interface for
quick state snapshots. create/list/restore/prune subcommands.
Restore by ID or number. Powered by the same backup module.
No new modules — everything lives in hermes_cli/backup.py alongside
the existing full backup/import code.
No hooks in run_agent.py — purely on-demand, zero runtime overhead.
Closes the use case from PRs #8406 and #7813 with ~200 lines of new
logic instead of a 1090-line content-addressed storage engine.
- Move test file to tests/hermes_cli/ (consistent with test layout)
- Remove unused imports (os, pytest) from test file
- Update _sanitize_env_lines docstring: now used on read + write paths
When .env files become corrupted (e.g. concatenated KEY=VALUE pairs on
a single line due to concurrent writes or encoding issues), both
python-dotenv and load_env() would parse the entire concatenated string
as a single value. This caused bot tokens to appear duplicated up to 8×,
triggering InvalidToken errors from the Telegram API.
Root cause: _sanitize_env_lines() — which correctly splits concatenated
lines — was only called during save_env_value() writes, not during reads.
Fix:
- load_env() now calls _sanitize_env_lines() before parsing
- env_loader.load_hermes_dotenv() sanitizes the .env file on disk
before python-dotenv reads it, so os.getenv() also returns clean values
- Added tests reproducing the exact corruption pattern from #8908Closes#8908
The startup warning that Nous Research Hermes 3 & 4 models are not agentic
fired on any model whose name contained "hermes" anywhere, via a plain
substring check. That false-positived on unrelated local Modelfiles such
as `hermes-brain:qwen3-14b-ctx16k` — a tool-capable Qwen3 wrapper that
happens to live under a custom "hermes" tag namespace — making the warning
noise for legitimate setups.
Replace the substring check with a narrow regex anchored on `^`, `/`, or
`:` boundaries that only matches the real Hermes-3 / Hermes-4 chat family
(e.g. `NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-70B`, `hermes-4-405b`,
`openrouter/hermes3:70b`). Consolidate into a single helper
`is_nous_hermes_non_agentic()` in `hermes_cli.model_switch` so the CLI
and the canonical check don't drift, and route the duplicate inline site
in `cli.HermesCLI._print_warnings()` through the helper.
Add a parametrized test covering positive matches (real Hermes-3/-4
names) and a broad set of negatives (custom Modelfiles, Qwen/Claude/GPT,
older Nous-Hermes-2 families, bare "hermes", empty string, and the
"brain-hermes-3-impostor" boundary case).
_query_local_context_length was checking model_info.context_length
(the GGUF training max) before num_ctx (the Modelfile runtime override),
inverse to query_ollama_num_ctx. The two helpers therefore disagreed on
the same model:
hermes-brain:qwen3-14b-ctx32k # Modelfile: num_ctx 32768
underlying qwen3:14b GGUF # qwen3.context_length: 40960
query_ollama_num_ctx correctly returned 32768 (the value Ollama will
actually allocate KV cache for). _query_local_context_length returned
40960, which let ContextCompressor grow conversations past 32768 before
triggering compression — at which point Ollama silently truncated the
prefix, corrupting context.
Swap the order so num_ctx is checked first, matching query_ollama_num_ctx.
Adds a parametrized test that seeds both values and asserts num_ctx wins.

When streaming fails after partial content delivery (e.g. OpenRouter
timeout kills connection mid-response), the stub response now carries
the accumulated streamed text instead of content=None.
Two fixes:
1. The partial-stream stub response includes recovered content from
_current_streamed_assistant_text — the text that was already
delivered to the user via stream callbacks before the connection
died.
2. The empty response recovery chain now checks for partial stream
content BEFORE falling back to _last_content_with_tools (prior
turn content) or wasting API calls on retries. This prevents:
- Showing wrong content from a prior turn
- Burning 3+ unnecessary retry API calls
- Falling through to '(empty)' when the user already saw content
The root cause: OpenRouter has a ~125s inactivity timeout. When
Anthropic's SSE stream goes silent during extended reasoning, the
proxy kills the connection. The model's text was already partially
streamed but the stub discarded it, triggering the empty recovery
chain which would show stale prior-turn content or waste retries.
The detached bash subprocess spawned by /restart gets killed by
systemd's KillMode=mixed cgroup cleanup, leaving the gateway dead.
Under systemd (detected via INVOCATION_ID env var), /restart now uses
via_service=True which exits with code 75 — RestartForceExitStatus=75
in the unit file makes systemd auto-restart the service. The detached
subprocess approach is preserved as fallback for non-systemd
environments (Docker, tmux, foreground mode).
* feat: web UI dashboard for managing Hermes Agent (salvage of #8204/#7621)
Adds an embedded web UI dashboard accessible via `hermes web`:
- Status page: agent version, active sessions, gateway status, connected platforms
- Config editor: schema-driven form with tabbed categories, import/export, reset
- API Keys page: set, clear, and view redacted values with category grouping
- Sessions, Skills, Cron, Logs, and Analytics pages
Backend:
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: FastAPI server with REST endpoints
- hermes_cli/config.py: reload_env() utility for hot-reloading .env
- hermes_cli/main.py: `hermes web` subcommand (--port, --host, --no-open)
- cli.py / commands.py: /reload slash command for .env hot-reload
- pyproject.toml: [web] optional dependency extra (fastapi + uvicorn)
- Both update paths (git + zip) auto-build web frontend when npm available
Frontend:
- Vite + React + TypeScript + Tailwind v4 SPA in web/
- shadcn/ui-style components, Nous design language
- Auto-refresh status page, toast notifications, masked password inputs
Security:
- Path traversal guard (resolve().is_relative_to()) on SPA file serving
- CORS localhost-only via allow_origin_regex
- Generic error messages (no internal leak), SessionDB handles closed properly
Tests: 47 tests covering reload_env, redact_key, API endpoints, schema
generation, path traversal, category merging, internal key stripping,
and full config round-trip.
Original work by @austinpickett (PR #1813), salvaged by @kshitijk4poor
(PR #7621 → #8204), re-salvaged onto current main with stale-branch
regressions removed.
* fix(web): clean up status page cards, always rebuild on `hermes web`
- Remove config version migration alert banner from status page
- Remove config version card (internal noise, not surfaced in TUI)
- Reorder status cards: Agent → Gateway → Active Sessions (3-col grid)
- `hermes web` now always rebuilds from source before serving,
preventing stale web_dist when editing frontend files
* feat(web): full-text search across session messages
- Add GET /api/sessions/search endpoint backed by FTS5
- Auto-append prefix wildcards so partial words match (e.g. 'nimb' → 'nimby')
- Debounced search (300ms) with spinner in the search icon slot
- Search results show FTS5 snippets with highlighted match delimiters
- Expanding a search hit auto-scrolls to the first matching message
- Matching messages get a warning ring + 'match' badge
- Inline term highlighting within Markdown (text, bold, italic, headings, lists)
- Clear button (x) on search input for quick reset

When a user sends /restart, the gateway now persists their routing info
(platform, chat_id, thread_id) to .restart_notify.json. After the new
gateway process starts and adapters connect, it reads the file, sends a
'Gateway restarted successfully' message to that specific chat, and
cleans up the file.
This follows the same pattern as _send_update_notification (used by
/update). Thread IDs are preserved so the notification lands in the
correct Telegram topic or Discord thread.
Previously, after /restart the user had no feedback that the gateway was
back — they had to send a message to find out. Now they get a proactive
notification and know their session continues.
OpenCode Zen was in _DOT_TO_HYPHEN_PROVIDERS, causing all dotted model
names (minimax-m2.5-free, gpt-5.4, glm-5.1) to be mangled. The fix:
Layer 1 (model_normalize.py): Remove opencode-zen from the blanket
dot-to-hyphen set. Add an explicit block that preserves dots for
non-Claude models while keeping Claude hyphenated (Zen's Claude
endpoint uses anthropic_messages mode which expects hyphens).
Layer 2 (run_agent.py _anthropic_preserve_dots): Add opencode-zen and
zai to the provider allowlist. Broaden URL check from opencode.ai/zen/go
to opencode.ai/zen/ to cover both Go and Zen endpoints. Add bigmodel.cn
for ZAI URL detection.
Also adds glm-5.1 to ZAI model lists in models.py and setup.py.

When tool_preview_length is 0 (default for platforms without a tier
default, like Session), verbose mode was truncating args JSON to 200
characters. Since the user explicitly opted into verbose mode, they
expect full tool call detail — the 200-char cap defeated the purpose.
Now: tool_preview_length=0 means no truncation in verbose mode.
Positive values still cap as before. Platform message-length limits
handle overflow naturally.
Three changes that address the poor WhatsApp experience reported by users:
1. Reclassify WhatsApp from TIER_LOW to TIER_MEDIUM in display_config.py
— enables streaming and tool progress via the existing Baileys /edit
bridge endpoint. Users now see progressive responses instead of
minutes of silence followed by a wall of text.
2. Lower MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH from 65536 to 4096 and add proper chunking
— send() now calls format_message() and truncate_message() before
sending, then loops through chunks with a small delay between them.
The base class truncate_message() already handles code block boundary
detection (closes/reopens fences at chunk boundaries). reply_to is
only set on the first chunk.
3. Override format_message() with WhatsApp-specific markdown conversion
— converts **bold** to *bold*, ~~strike~~ to ~strike~, headers to
bold text, and [links](url) to text (url). Code blocks and inline
code are protected from conversion via placeholder substitution.
Together these fix the two user complaints:
- 'sends the whole code all the time' → now chunked at 4K with proper
formatting
- 'terminal gets interrupted and gets cooked' → streaming + tool progress
give visual feedback so users don't accidentally interrupt with
follow-up messages
When resuming a session with --resume or -c, the last assistant response
was truncated to 200 chars / 3 lines just like older messages in the recap.
This forced users to waste tokens re-asking for the response.
Now the last assistant message in the recap is shown in full with non-dim
styling, so users can see exactly where they left off. Earlier messages
remain truncated for compact display.
Changes:
- Track un-truncated text for the last assistant entry during collection
- Replace last entry with full text after history trimming
- Render last assistant entry with bold (non-dim) styling
- Update existing truncation tests to use multi-message histories
- Add new tests for full last response display (char + multiline)
Port from nearai/ironclaw#2304: Telegram's 4096 character limit is
measured in UTF-16 code units, not Unicode codepoints. Characters
outside the Basic Multilingual Plane (emoji like 😀, CJK Extension B,
musical symbols) are surrogate pairs: 1 Python char but 2 UTF-16 units.
Previously, truncate_message() used Python's len() which counts
codepoints. This could produce chunks exceeding Telegram's actual limit
when messages contain many astral-plane characters.
Changes:
- Add utf16_len() helper and _prefix_within_utf16_limit() for
UTF-16-aware string measurement and truncation
- Add _custom_unit_to_cp() binary-search helper that maps a custom-unit
budget to the largest safe codepoint slice position
- Update truncate_message() to accept optional len_fn parameter
- Telegram adapter now passes len_fn=utf16_len when splitting messages
- Fix fallback truncation in Telegram error handler to use
_prefix_within_utf16_limit instead of codepoint slicing
- Update send_message_tool.py to use utf16_len for Telegram platform
- Add comprehensive tests: utf16_len, _prefix_within_utf16_limit,
truncate_message with len_fn (emoji splitting, content preservation,
code block handling)
- Update mock lambdas in reply_mode tests to accept **kw for len_fn
Port from openclaw/openclaw#64586: users who copy .env.example without
changing placeholder values now get a clear error at startup instead of
a confusing auth failure from the platform API. Also rejects placeholder
API_SERVER_KEY when binding to a network-accessible address.
Cherry-picked from PR #8677.
Port from openclaw/openclaw#64796: Per MSC3952 / Matrix v1.7, the

* feat: add `hermes debug share` — upload debug report to pastebin
Adds a new `hermes debug share` command that collects system info
(via hermes dump), recent logs (agent.log, errors.log, gateway.log),
and uploads the combined report to a paste service (paste.rs primary,
dpaste.com fallback). Returns a shareable URL for support.
Options:
--lines N Number of log lines per file (default: 200)
--expire N Paste expiry in days (default: 7, dpaste.com only)
--local Print report locally without uploading
Files:
hermes_cli/debug.py - New module: paste upload + report collection
hermes_cli/main.py - Wire cmd_debug + argparse subparser
tests/hermes_cli/test_debug.py - 19 tests covering upload, collection, CLI
* feat: upload full agent.log and gateway.log as separate pastes
hermes debug share now uploads up to 3 pastes:
1. Summary report (system info + log tails) — always
2. Full agent.log (last ~500KB) — if file exists
3. Full gateway.log (last ~500KB) — if file exists
Each paste uploads independently; log upload failures are noted
but don't block the main report. Output shows all links aligned:
Report https://paste.rs/abc
agent.log https://paste.rs/def
gateway.log https://paste.rs/ghi
Also adds _read_full_log() with size-capped tail reading to stay
within paste service limits (~512KB per file).
* feat: prepend hermes dump to each log paste for self-contained context
Each paste (agent.log, gateway.log) now starts with the hermes dump
output so clicking any single link gives full system context without
needing to cross-reference the summary report.
Refactored dump capture into _capture_dump() — called once and
reused across the summary report and each log paste.
* fix: fall back to .1 rotated log when primary log is missing or empty
When gateway.log (or agent.log) doesn't exist or is empty, the debug
share now checks for the .1 rotation file. This is common — the
gateway rotates logs and the primary file may not exist yet.
Extracted _resolve_log_path() to centralize the fallback logic for
both _read_log_tail() and _read_full_log().
* chore: remove unused display_hermes_home import
Some OpenAI-compatible clients (Open WebUI, LobeChat, etc.) send
message content as an array of typed parts instead of a plain string:
[{"type": "text", "text": "hello"}]
The agent pipeline expects strings, so these array payloads caused
silent failures or empty messages.
Add _normalize_chat_content() with defensive limits (recursion depth,
list size, output length) and apply it to both the Chat Completions
and Responses API endpoints. The Responses path had inline
normalization that only handled input_text/output_text — the shared
function also handles the standard 'text' type.
Salvaged from PR #7980 (ikelvingo) — only the content normalization;
the SSE and Weixin changes in that PR were regressions and are not
included.

- Test that auxiliary.compression.context_length from config is forwarded

- Test that invalid/non-integer config values are silently ignored
- Fix _make_agent() to set config=None (cherry-picked code reads self.config)
Four fixes for the Weixin/WeChat adapter, synthesized from the best
aspects of community PRs #8407, #8521, #8360, #7695, #8308, #8525,
#7531, #8144, #8251.
1. Streaming cursor (▉) stuck permanently — WeChat doesn't support
message editing, so the cursor appended during streaming can never
be removed. Add SUPPORTS_MESSAGE_EDITING = False to WeixinAdapter
and check it in gateway/run.py to use an empty cursor for non-edit
platforms. (Fixes#8307, #8326)
2. Media upload failures — two bugs in _send_file():
a) upload_full_url path used PUT (404 on WeChat CDN); now uses POST.
b) aes_key was base64(raw_bytes) but the iLink API expects
base64(hex_string); images showed as grey boxes. (Fixes#8352, #7529)
Also: unified both upload paths into _upload_ciphertext(), preferring
upload_full_url. Added send_video/send_voice methods and voice_item
media builder for audio/.silk files. Added video_md5 field.
3. Markdown links stripped — WeChat can't render [text](url), so
format_message() now converts them to 'text (url)' plaintext.
Code blocks are preserved. (Fixes#7617)
4. Blank message prevention — three guards:
a) _split_text_for_weixin_delivery('') returns [] not ['']
b) send() filters empty/whitespace chunks before _send_text_chunk
c) _send_message() raises ValueError for empty text as safety net
