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)

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.

model_metadata.py, setup.py, trajectory_compressor.py.
Based on PR #9274 by arthurbr11, simplified to a standard direct
provider without dual-endpoint OpenRouter routing.
The dashboard device-code flow (_nous_poller in web_server.py) saved
credentials to the credential pool only, while get_nous_auth_status()
only checked the auth store (auth.json). This caused the Keys tab to
show 'not connected' even when the backend was fully authenticated.
Two fixes:
1. get_nous_auth_status() now checks the credential pool first (like
get_codex_auth_status() already does), then falls back to the auth
store.
2. _nous_poller now also persists to the auth store after saving to
the credential pool, matching the CLI flow (_login_nous).
Adds 3 tests covering pool-only, auth-store-fallback, and empty-state
scenarios.
/stop was calling suspend_session() which marked the session for auto-reset
on the next message. This meant users lost their conversation history every
time they stopped a running agent — especially painful for untitled sessions
that can't be resumed by name.
Now /stop just interrupts the agent and cleans the session lock. The session
stays intact so users can continue the conversation.
The suspend behavior was introduced in #7536 to break stuck session resume
loops on gateway restart. That case is already handled by
suspend_recently_active() which runs at gateway startup, so removing it from
/stop doesn't regress the original fix.
Previously, long-running streamed responses could be incorrectly treated
as idle by the gateway/cron inactivity timeout even while tokens were
actively arriving. The _touch_activity() call (which feeds
get_activity_summary() polled by the external timeout) was either called
only on the first chunk (chat completions) or not at all (Anthropic,
Codex, Codex fallback).
Add _touch_activity() on every chunk/event in all four streaming paths
so the inactivity monitor knows data is still flowing.
Fixes#8760
The v11→v12 migration converts custom_providers (list) into providers
(dict), then deletes the list. But all runtime resolvers read from
custom_providers — after migration, named custom endpoints silently stop
resolving and fallback chains fail with AuthError.
Add get_compatible_custom_providers() that reads from both config schemas
(legacy custom_providers list + v12+ providers dict), normalizes entries,
deduplicates, and returns a unified list. Update ALL consumers:
- hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py: _get_named_custom_provider() + key_env
- hermes_cli/auth_commands.py: credential pool provider names
- hermes_cli/main.py: model picker + _model_flow_named_custom()
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: key_env + custom_entry model fallback
- agent/credential_pool.py: _iter_custom_providers()
- cli.py + gateway/run.py: /model switch custom_providers passthrough
- run_agent.py + gateway/run.py: per-model context_length lookup
Also: use config.pop() instead of del for safer migration, fix stale
_config_version assertions in tests, add pool mock to codex test.

Closes#8776, salvaged from PR #8814
The existing ASCII codec handler only sanitized conversation messages,
leaving tool schemas, system prompts, ephemeral prompts, prefill messages,
and HTTP headers as unhandled sources of non-ASCII content. On systems
with LANG=C or non-UTF-8 locale, Unicode symbols in tool descriptions
(e.g. arrows, em-dashes from prompt_builder) and system prompt content
would cause UnicodeEncodeError that fell through to the error path.
Changes:
- Add _sanitize_structure_non_ascii() generic recursive walker for
nested dict/list payloads
- Add _sanitize_tools_non_ascii() thin wrapper for tool schemas
- Add _force_ascii_payload flag: once ASCII locale is detected, all
subsequent API calls get proactively sanitized (prevents recurring
failures from new tool results bringing fresh Unicode each turn)
- Extend the ASCII codec error handler to sanitize: prefill_messages,
tool schemas (self.tools), system prompt, ephemeral system prompt,
and default HTTP headers
- Update stale comment that acknowledged the gap
Cherry-picked from PR #8834 (credential pool changes dropped as
separate concern).
Two fixes for user-defined providers in config.yaml:
1. list_authenticated_providers() - now includes full models list from
providers.*.models array, not just default_model. This fixes /model
showing only one model when multiple are configured.
2. _get_named_custom_provider() - now checks providers: dict (new-style)
in addition to custom_providers: list (legacy). This fixes credential
resolution errors when switching models via /model command.
Both changes are backwards compatible with existing custom_providers list format.
Fixes: Only one model appears for custom providers in /model selection
On macOS, /etc is a symlink to /private/etc, so os.path.realpath()
resolves /etc/hosts to /private/etc/hosts. The sensitive path check
only matched /etc/ prefixes against the resolved path, allowing
writes to system files on macOS.
- Add /private/etc/ and /private/var/ to _SENSITIVE_PATH_PREFIXES
- Check both realpath-resolved and normpath-normalized paths
- Add regression tests for macOS symlink bypass
Closes#8734

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.

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

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

per bot token, and lets them cancel or continue.
Fixes#7907
Centralize container detection in hermes_constants.is_container() with
process-lifetime caching, matching existing is_wsl()/is_termux() patterns.
Dedup _is_inside_container() in config.py to delegate to the new function.
Add _run_systemctl() wrapper that converts FileNotFoundError to RuntimeError
for defense-in-depth — all 10 bare subprocess.run(_systemctl_cmd(...)) call
sites now route through it.
Make supports_systemd_services() return False in containers and when
systemctl binary is absent (shutil.which check).
Add Docker-specific guidance in gateway_command() for install/uninstall/start
subcommands — exit 0 with helpful instructions instead of crashing.
Make 'hermes status' show 'Manager: docker (foreground)' and 'hermes dump'
show 'running (docker, pid N)' inside containers.
Fix setup_gateway() to use supports_systemd instead of _is_linux for all
systemd-related branches, and show Docker restart policy instructions in
containers.
Replace inline /.dockerenv check in voice_mode.py with is_container().

The backup validation checked for 'hermes_state.db' and 'memory_store.db'
as telltale markers of a valid Hermes backup zip. Neither name exists in a
real Hermes installation — the actual database file is 'state.db'
(hermes_state.py: DEFAULT_DB_PATH = get_hermes_home() / 'state.db').
A fresh Hermes installation produces:
~/.hermes/state.db (actual name)
~/.hermes/config.yaml
~/.hermes/.env
Because the marker set never matched 'state.db', a backup zip containing
only 'state.db' plus 'config.yaml' would fail validation with:
'zip does not appear to be a Hermes backup'
and the import would exit with sys.exit(1), silently rejecting a valid backup.
Fix: replace the wrong marker names with the correct filename.
Adds TestValidateBackupZip with three cases:
- state.db is accepted as a valid marker
- old wrong names (hermes_state.db, memory_store.db) alone are rejected
- config.yaml continues to pass (existing behaviour preserved)
Three fixes for the (empty) response bug affecting open reasoning models:
1. Allow retries after prefill exhaustion — models like mimo-v2-pro always
populate reasoning fields via OpenRouter, so the old 'not _has_structured'
guard on the retry path blocked retries for EVERY reasoning model after
the 2 prefill attempts. Now: 2 prefills + 3 retries = 6 total attempts
before (empty).
2. Reset prefill/retry counters on tool-call recovery — the counters
accumulated across the entire conversation, never resetting during
tool-calling turns. A model cycling empty→prefill→tools→empty burned
both prefill attempts and the third empty got zero recovery. Now
counters reset when prefill succeeds with tool calls.
3. Strip think blocks before _truly_empty check — inline <think> content
made the string non-empty, skipping both retry paths.
Reported by users on Telegram with xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro and qwen3.5 models.
Reproduced: qwen3.5-9b emits tool calls as XML in reasoning field instead
of proper function calls, causing content=None + tool_calls=None + reasoning
with embedded <tool_call> XML. Prefill recovery works but counter
accumulation caused permanent (empty) in long sessions.
- Remove duplicate _setup_feishu() definition (old 3-line version left
behind by cherry-pick — Python picked the new one but dead code
remained)
- Remove misleading 'Disable direct messages' DM option — the Feishu
adapter has no DM policy mechanism, so 'disable' produced identical
env vars to 'pairing'. Users who chose 'disable' would still see
pairing prompts. Reduced to 3 options: pairing, allow-all, allowlist.
- Fix test_probe_returns_bot_info_on_success and
test_probe_returns_none_on_failure: patch FEISHU_AVAILABLE=True so
probe_bot() takes the SDK path when lark_oapi is not installed
auxiliary_client.py had its own regex mirroring _strip_think_blocks
but was missing the <thought> variant. Also adds test coverage for
<thought> paired and orphaned tags.
Fresh profiles (created without --clone) now:
- Auto-seed a default SOUL.md immediately, so users have a file to
customize right away instead of discovering it only after first use
- Print a clear warning that the profile has no API keys and will
inherit from the shell environment unless configured separately
- Show the SOUL.md path for personality customization
Previously, fresh profiles started with no SOUL.md (only seeded on
first use via ensure_hermes_home), no mention of credential isolation,
and no guidance about customizing personality. Users reported confusion
about profiles using the wrong model/plan tokens and SOUL.md not
being read — both traced to operational gaps in the creation UX.
Closes#8093 (investigated: code correctly loads SOUL.md from profile
HERMES_HOME; issue was operational, not a code bug).
The _watch_update_progress() poll loop never deleted .update_prompt.json
after forwarding the prompt to the user, causing the same prompt to be
re-sent every poll cycle (2s). Two fixes:
1. Delete .update_prompt.json after forwarding — the update process only
polls for .update_response, it doesn't need the prompt file to persist.
2. Guard re-sends with _update_prompt_pending check — belt-and-suspenders
to prevent duplicates even under race conditions.
Add regression test asserting the prompt is sent exactly once.
When a user configures a provider (e.g. `hermes auth add openai-codex`)
but never selects a model via `hermes model`, the gateway and CLI would
pass an empty model string to the API, causing:
'Codex Responses request model must be a non-empty string'
Now both gateway (_resolve_session_agent_runtime) and CLI
(_ensure_runtime_credentials) detect an empty model and fill it from
the provider's first catalog entry in _PROVIDER_MODELS. This covers
all providers that have a static model list (openai-codex, anthropic,
gemini, copilot, etc.).
The fix is conservative: it only triggers when model is truly empty
and a known provider was resolved. Explicit model choices are never
overridden.
When the gateway shuts down gracefully (hermes update, gateway restart,
/restart), it now writes a .clean_shutdown marker file. On the next
startup, if this marker exists, suspend_recently_active() is skipped
and the marker is cleaned up.
Previously, suspend_recently_active() fired on EVERY startup —
including planned restarts from hermes update or hermes gateway restart.
This caused users to lose their conversation history unexpectedly: the
session would be marked as suspended, and the next message would
trigger an auto-reset with a notification the user never asked for.
The original purpose of suspend_recently_active() is crash recovery —
preventing stuck sessions that were mid-processing when the gateway
died unexpectedly. Graceful shutdowns already drain active agents via
_drain_active_agents(), so there is no stuck-session risk. After a
crash (no marker written), suspension still fires as before.
Fixes the scenario where a user asks the agent to run hermes update,
the gateway restarts, and the user's next message gets an unwanted
'Session automatically reset' notification with their history cleared.
When /update runs via Telegram, hermes update --gateway is spawned inside
the gateway's systemd cgroup. The update process itself calls
systemctl restart hermes-gateway, which tears down the cgroup with
KillMode=mixed — SIGKILL to all remaining processes. The wrapping bash
shell is killed before it can execute the exit-code epilogue, so
.update_exit_code is never created. The new gateway's update watcher
then polls for 30 minutes and sends a spurious timeout message.
Fix: write .update_exit_code from Python inside cmd_update() immediately
after the git pull + pip install succeed ("Update complete!"), before
attempting the gateway restart. The shell epilogue still writes it too
(idempotent overwrite), but now the marker exists even when the process
is killed mid-restart.
When running inside WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), inject a hint into
the system prompt explaining that the Windows host filesystem is mounted
at /mnt/c/, /mnt/d/, etc. This lets the agent naturally translate Windows
paths (Desktop, Documents) to their /mnt/ equivalents without the user
needing to configure anything.
Uses the existing is_wsl() detection from hermes_constants (cached,
checks /proc/version for 'microsoft'). Adds build_environment_hints()
in prompt_builder.py — extensible for Termux, Docker, etc. later.
Closes the UX gap where WSL users had to manually explain path
translation to the agent every session.
OpenAI OAuth refresh tokens are single-use and rotate on every refresh.
When Hermes refreshes a Codex token, it consumed the old refresh_token
but never wrote the new pair back to ~/.codex/auth.json. This caused
Codex CLI and VS Code to fail with 'refresh_token_reused' on their
next refresh attempt.
This mirrors the existing Anthropic write-back pattern where refreshed
tokens are written to ~/.claude/.credentials.json via
_write_claude_code_credentials().
Changes:
- Add _write_codex_cli_tokens() in hermes_cli/auth.py (parallel to
_write_claude_code_credentials in anthropic_adapter.py)
- Call it from _refresh_codex_auth_tokens() (non-pool refresh path)
- Call it from credential_pool._refresh_entry() (pool happy path + retry)
- Add tests for the new write-back behavior
- Update existing test docstring to clarify _save_codex_tokens vs
_write_codex_cli_tokens separation
Fixes refresh token conflict reported by @ec12edfae2cb221
Reject non-URL values (e.g. shell commands typed by mistake) in the
base URL prompt during provider setup. Previously any string was saved
as-is to .env, breaking connectivity when the garbage value was used
as the API endpoint.
Adds http:// / https:// prefix check with a clear error message.
The custom-endpoint flow already had this validation (line 1620);
this brings the generic API-key provider flow to parity.
Triggered by a user support case where 'nano ~/.hermes/.env' was
accidentally entered as GLM_BASE_URL during Z.AI setup.
- Add openai/openai-codex -> openai mapping to PROVIDER_TO_MODELS_DEV
so context-length lookups use models.dev data instead of 128k fallback.
Fixes#8161.
- Set api_mode from custom_providers entry when switching via hermes model,
and clear stale api_mode when the entry has none. Also extract api_mode
in _named_custom_provider_map(). Fixes#8181.
- Convert OpenAI image_url content blocks to Anthropic image blocks when
the endpoint is Anthropic-compatible (MiniMax, MiniMax-CN, or any URL
containing /anthropic). Fixes#8147.
Add content-aware splitting to compact mode: short chat-like exchanges
(2-6 short lines without headings/lists/quotes) get separate message
bubbles for a natural chat feel, while structured content (tables,
headings with body, numbered lists) stays in a single message.
Cherry-picked from PR #7587 by bravohenry, adapted to the compact/legacy
split_per_line architecture from #7903.
When the agent calls process(action='wait') or process(action='poll')
and gets the exited status, the completion_queue notification is
redundant — the agent already has the output from the tool return.
Previously, the drain loops in CLI and gateway would still inject
the [SYSTEM: Background process completed] message, causing the
agent to receive the same information twice.
Fix: track session IDs in _completion_consumed set when wait/poll/log
returns an exited process. Drain loops in cli.py and gateway watcher
skip completion events for consumed sessions. Watch pattern events
are never suppressed (they have independent semantics).
Adds 4 tests covering wait/poll/log marking and running-process
negative case.
Add a 'tip of the day' feature that displays a random one-liner about
Hermes Agent features on every new session — CLI startup, /clear, /new,
and gateway /new across all messaging platforms.
- New hermes_cli/tips.py module with 210 curated tips covering slash
commands, keybindings, CLI flags, config options, tools, gateway
platforms, profiles, sessions, memory, skills, cron, voice, security,
and more
- CLI: tips display in skin-aware dim gold color after the welcome line
- Gateway: tips append to the /new and /reset response on all platforms
- Fully wrapped in try/except — tips are non-critical and never break
startup or reset
Display format (CLI):
✦ Tip: /btw <question> asks a quick side question without tools or history.
Display format (gateway):
✨ Session reset! Starting fresh.
✦ Tip: hermes -c resumes your most recent CLI session.
Remove auto-archival from hermes claw migrate — not its
responsibility (hermes claw cleanup is still there for that).
Skip MESSAGING_CWD when it points inside the OpenClaw source

containment check.

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

Adds an optional focus topic to /compress: `/compress database schema`
guides the summariser to preserve information related to the focus topic
(60-70% of summary budget) while compressing everything else more aggressively.
Inspired by Claude Code's /compact <focus>.
Changes:
- context_compressor.py: focus_topic parameter on _generate_summary() and
compress(); appends FOCUS TOPIC guidance block to the LLM prompt
- run_agent.py: focus_topic parameter on _compress_context(), passed through
to the compressor
- cli.py: _manual_compress() extracts focus topic from command string,
preserves existing manual_compression_feedback integration (no regression)
- gateway/run.py: _handle_compress_command() extracts focus from event args
and passes through — full gateway parity
- commands.py: args_hint="[focus topic]" on /compress CommandDef
Salvaged from PR #7459 (CLI /compress focus only — /context command deferred).
15 new tests across CLI, compressor, and gateway.
* feat: add `hermes backup` and `hermes import` commands
hermes backup — creates a zip of ~/.hermes/ (config, skills, sessions,
profiles, memories, skins, cron jobs, etc.) excluding the hermes-agent
codebase, __pycache__, and runtime PID files. Defaults to
~/hermes-backup-<timestamp>.zip, customizable with -o.
hermes import <zipfile> — restores from a backup zip, validating it
looks like a hermes backup before extracting. Handles .hermes/ prefix
stripping, path traversal protection, and confirmation prompts (skip
with --force).
29 tests covering exclusion rules, backup creation, import validation,
prefix detection, path traversal blocking, confirmation flow, and a
full round-trip test.
* test: improve backup/import coverage to 97%
Add 17 additional tests covering:
- _format_size helper (bytes through terabytes)
- Nonexistent hermes home error exit
- Output path is a directory (auto-names inside it)
- Output without .zip suffix (auto-appends)
- Empty hermes home (all files excluded)
- Permission errors during backup and import
- Output zip inside hermes root (skips itself)
- Not-a-zip file rejection
- EOFError and KeyboardInterrupt during confirmation
- 500+ file progress display
- Directory-only zip prefix detection
Remove dead code branch in _detect_prefix (unreachable guard).
* feat: auto-restore profile wrapper scripts on import
After extracting backup files, hermes import now scans profiles/ for
subdirectories with config.yaml or .env and recreates the ~/.local/bin
wrapper scripts so profile aliases (e.g. 'coder chat') work immediately.
Also prints guidance for re-installing gateway services per profile.
Handles edge cases:
- Skips profile dirs without config (not real profiles)
- Skips aliases that collide with existing commands
- Gracefully degrades if hermes_cli.profiles isn't available (fresh install)
- Shows PATH hint if ~/.local/bin isn't in PATH
3 new profile restoration tests (49 total).
Fixes#7952 — Matrix E2EE completely broken after mautrix migration.
- Replace MemoryCryptoStore + pickle/HMAC persistence with mautrix's
PgCryptoStore backed by SQLite via aiosqlite. Crypto state now
persists reliably across restarts without fragile serialization.
- Add handle_sync() call on initial sync response so to-device events
(queued Megolm key shares) are dispatched to OlmMachine instead of
being silently dropped.
- Add _verify_device_keys_on_server() after loading crypto state.
Detects missing keys (re-uploads), stale keys from migration
(attempts re-upload), and corrupted state (refuses E2EE).
- Add _CryptoStateStore adapter wrapping MemoryStateStore to satisfy
mautrix crypto's StateStore interface (is_encrypted,
get_encryption_info, find_shared_rooms).
- Remove redundant share_keys() call from sync loop — OlmMachine
already handles this via DEVICE_OTK_COUNT event handler.
- Fix datetime vs float TypeError in session.py suspend_recently_active()
that crashed gateway startup.
- Add aiosqlite and asyncpg to [matrix] extra in pyproject.toml.
- Update test mocks for PgCryptoStore/Database and add query_keys mock
for key verification. 174 tests pass.
- Add E2EE upgrade/migration docs to Matrix user guide.
* perf(ssh,modal): bulk file sync via tar pipe and tar/base64 archive
SSH: symlink-staging + tar -ch piped over SSH in a single TCP stream.
Eliminates per-file scp round-trips. Handles timeout (kills both
processes), SSH Popen failure (kills tar), and tar create failure.
Modal: in-memory gzipped tar archive, base64-encoded, decoded+extracted
in one exec call. Checks exit code and raises on failure.
Both backends use shared helpers extracted into file_sync.py:
- quoted_mkdir_command() — mirrors existing quoted_rm_command()
- unique_parent_dirs() — deduplicates parent dirs from file pairs
Migrates _ensure_remote_dirs to use the new helpers.
28 new tests (21 SSH + 7 Modal), all passing.
Closes#7465Closes#7467
* fix(modal): pipe stdin to avoid ARG_MAX, clean up review findings
- Modal bulk upload: stream base64 payload through proc.stdin in 1MB
chunks instead of embedding in command string (Modal SDK enforces
64KB ARG_MAX_BYTES — typical payloads are ~4.3MB)
- Modal single-file upload: same stdin fix, add exit code checking
- Remove what-narrating comments in ssh.py and modal.py (keep WHY
comments: symlink staging rationale, SIGPIPE, deadlock avoidance)
- Remove unnecessary `sandbox = self._sandbox` alias in modal bulk
- Daytona: use shared helpers (unique_parent_dirs, quoted_mkdir_command)
instead of inlined duplicates

* feat: component-separated logging with session context and filtering
Phase 1 — Gateway log isolation:
- gateway.log now only receives records from gateway.* loggers
(platform adapters, session management, slash commands, delivery)
- agent.log remains the catch-all (all components)
- errors.log remains WARNING+ catch-all
- Moved gateway.log handler creation from gateway/run.py into
hermes_logging.setup_logging(mode='gateway') with _ComponentFilter
Phase 2 — Session ID injection:
- Added set_session_context(session_id) / clear_session_context() API
using threading.local() for per-thread session tracking
- _SessionFilter enriches every log record with session_tag attribute
- Log format: '2026-04-11 10:23:45 INFO [session_id] logger.name: msg'
- Session context set at start of run_conversation() in run_agent.py
- Thread-isolated: gateway conversations on different threads don't leak
Phase 3 — Component filtering in hermes logs:
- Added --component flag: hermes logs --component gateway|agent|tools|cli|cron
- COMPONENT_PREFIXES maps component names to logger name prefixes
- Works with all existing filters (--level, --session, --since, -f)
- Logger name extraction handles both old and new log formats
Files changed:
- hermes_logging.py: _SessionFilter, _ComponentFilter, COMPONENT_PREFIXES,
set/clear_session_context(), gateway.log creation in setup_logging()
- gateway/run.py: removed redundant gateway.log handler (now in hermes_logging)
- run_agent.py: set_session_context() at start of run_conversation()
- hermes_cli/logs.py: --component filter, logger name extraction
- hermes_cli/main.py: --component argument on logs subparser
Addresses community request for component-separated, filterable logging.
Zero changes to existing logger names — __name__ already provides hierarchy.
* fix: use LogRecord factory instead of per-handler _SessionFilter
The _SessionFilter approach required attaching a filter to every handler
we create. Any handler created outside our _add_rotating_handler (like
the gateway stderr handler, or third-party handlers) would crash with
KeyError: 'session_tag' if it used our format string.
Replace with logging.setLogRecordFactory() which injects session_tag
into every LogRecord at creation time — process-global, zero per-handler
wiring needed. The factory is installed at import time (before
setup_logging) so session_tag is available from the moment hermes_logging
is imported.
- Idempotent: marker attribute prevents double-wrapping on module reload
- Chains with existing factory: won't break third-party record factories
- Removes _SessionFilter from _add_rotating_handler and setup_verbose_logging
- Adds tests: record factory injection, idempotency, arbitrary handler compat
Add display.platforms section to config.yaml for per-platform overrides of
display settings (tool_progress, show_reasoning, streaming, tool_preview_length).
Each platform gets sensible built-in defaults based on capability tier:
- High (telegram, discord): tool_progress=all, streaming follows global
- Medium (slack, mattermost, matrix, feishu): tool_progress=new
- Low (signal, whatsapp, bluebubbles, wecom, etc.): tool_progress=off, streaming=false
- Minimal (email, sms, webhook, homeassistant): tool_progress=off, streaming=false
Example config:
display:
platforms:
telegram:
tool_progress: all
show_reasoning: true
slack:
tool_progress: off
Resolution order: platform override > global setting > built-in platform default.
Changes:
- New gateway/display_config.py: resolver module with tier-based platform defaults
- gateway/run.py: tool_progress, tool_preview_length, streaming, show_reasoning
all resolve per-platform via the new resolver
- /verbose command: now cycles tool_progress per-platform (saves to
display.platforms.<platform>.tool_progress instead of global)
- /reasoning show|hide: now saves show_reasoning per-platform
- Config version 15 -> 16: migrates tool_progress_overrides into display.platforms
- Backward compat: legacy tool_progress_overrides still read as fallback
- 27 new tests for resolver, normalization, migration, backward compat
- Updated verbose command tests for per-platform behavior
Addresses community request for per-channel verbosity control (Guillaume Meyer,
Nathan Danielsen) — high verbosity on backchannel Telegram, low on customer-facing
Slack, none on email.
The check_interval parameter on terminal_tool sent periodic output
updates to the gateway chat, but these were display-only — the agent
couldn't see or act on them. This added schema bloat and introduced
a bug where notify_on_complete=True was silently dropped when
check_interval was also set (the not-check_interval guard skipped
fast-watcher registration, and the check_interval watcher dict
was missing the notify_on_complete key).
Removing check_interval entirely:
- Eliminates the notify_on_complete interaction bug
- Reduces tool schema size (one fewer parameter for the model)
- Simplifies the watcher registration path
- notify_on_complete (agent wake-on-completion) still works
- watch_patterns (output alerting) still works
- process(action='poll') covers manual status checking
Closes#7947 (root cause eliminated rather than patched).
When /model is called with no arguments in the interactive CLI, open a
two-step prompt_toolkit modal instead of the previous text-only listing:
1. Provider selection — curses_single_select with all authenticated providers
2. Model selection — live API fetch with curated fallback
Also fixes:
- OpenAI Codex model normalization (openai/gpt-5.4 → gpt-5.4)
- Dedicated Codex validation path using provider_model_ids()
Preserves curses_radiolist (used by setup, tools, plugins) alongside the
new curses_single_select. Retains tool elapsed timer in spinner.
Cherry-picked from PR #7438 by MestreY0d4-Uninter.
The _get_budget_warning() method already returned None unconditionally —
the entire budget warning system was disabled. Remove all dead code:
- _BUDGET_WARNING_RE regex
- _strip_budget_warnings_from_history() function and its call site
- Both injection blocks (concurrent + sequential tool execution)
- _get_budget_warning() method
- 7 tests for the removed functions
The budget exhaustion grace call system (_budget_exhausted_injected,
_budget_grace_call) is a separate recovery mechanism and is preserved.
* feat(nix): container-aware CLI — auto-route all subcommands into managed container
When container.enable = true, the host `hermes` CLI transparently execs
every subcommand into the managed Docker/Podman container. A symlink
bridge (~/.hermes -> /var/lib/hermes/.hermes) unifies state between host
and container so sessions, config, and memories are shared.
CLI changes:
- Global routing before subcommand dispatch (all commands forwarded)
- docker exec with -u exec_user, env passthrough (TERM, COLORTERM,
LANG, LC_ALL), TTY-aware flags
- Retry with spinner on failure (TTY: 5s, non-TTY: 10s silent)
- Hard fail instead of silent fallback
- HERMES_DEV=1 env var bypasses routing for development
- No routing messages (invisible to user)
NixOS module changes:
- container.hostUsers option: lists users who get ~/.hermes symlink
and automatic hermes group membership
- Activation script creates symlink bridge (with backup of existing
~/.hermes dirs), writes exec_user to .container-mode
- Cleanup on disable: removes symlinks + .container-mode + stops service
- Warning when hostUsers set without addToSystemPackages
* fix: address review — reuse sudo var, add chown -h on symlink update
- hermes_cli/main.py: reuse the existing `sudo` variable instead of
redundant `shutil.which("sudo")` call that could return None
- nix/nixosModules.nix: add missing `chown -h` when updating an
existing symlink target so ownership stays consistent with the
fresh-create and backup-replace branches
* fix: address remaining review items from cursor bugbot
- hermes_cli/main.py: move container routing BEFORE parse_args() so
--help, unrecognised flags, and all subcommands are forwarded
transparently into the container instead of being intercepted by
argparse on the host (high severity)
- nix/nixosModules.nix: resolve home dirs via
config.users.users.${user}.home instead of hardcoding /home/${user},
supporting users with custom home directories (medium severity)
- nix/nixosModules.nix: gate hostUsers group membership on
container.enable so setting hostUsers without container mode doesn't
silently add users to the hermes group (low severity)
* fix: simplify container routing — execvp, no retries, let it crash
- Replace subprocess.run retry loop with os.execvp (no idle parent process)
- Extract _probe_container helper for sudo detection with 15s timeout
- Narrow exception handling: FileNotFoundError only in get_container_exec_info,
catch TimeoutExpired specifically, remove silent except Exception: pass
- Collapse needs_sudo + sudo into single sudo_path variable
- Simplify NixOS symlink creation from 4 branches to 2
- Gate NixOS sudoers hint with "On NixOS:" prefix
- Full test rewrite: 18 tests covering execvp, sudo probe, timeout, permissions

Switch estimate_tokens_rough(), estimate_messages_tokens_rough(), and
estimate_request_tokens_rough() from floor division (len // 4) to
ceiling division ((len + 3) // 4). Short texts (1-3 chars) previously
estimated as 0 tokens, causing the compressor and pre-flight checks to
systematically undercount when many short tool results are present.
Also replaced the inline duplicate formula in run_conversation()
(total_chars // 4) with a call to the shared
estimate_messages_tokens_rough() function.
Updated 4 tests that hardcoded floor-division expected values.

Deduplicate todo items by ID before writing to the store, keeping the
last occurrence. Prevents ghost entries when the model sends duplicate
IDs in a single write() call, which corrupts subsequent merge operations.

Add display.interim_assistant_messages config (enabled by default) that
forwards completed assistant commentary between tool calls to the user
as separate chat messages. Models already emit useful status text like
'I'll inspect the repo first.' — this surfaces it on Telegram, Discord,
and other messaging platforms instead of swallowing it.
Independent from tool_progress and gateway streaming. Disabled for
webhooks. Uses GatewayStreamConsumer when available, falls back to
direct adapter send. Tracks response_previewed to prevent double-delivery
when interim message matches the final response.
Also fixes: cursor not stripped from fallback prefix in stream consumer
(affected continuation calculation on no-edit platforms like Signal).
Cherry-picked from PR #7885 by asheriif, default changed to enabled.
Fixes#5016
Three root causes of the 'agent stops mid-task' gateway bug:
1. Compression threshold floor (64K tokens minimum)
- The 50% threshold on a 100K-context model fired at 50K tokens,
causing premature compression that made models lose track of
multi-step plans. Now threshold_tokens = max(50% * context, 64K).
- Models with <64K context are rejected at startup with a clear error.
2. Budget warning removal — grace call instead
- Removed the 70%/90% iteration budget warnings entirely. These
injected '[BUDGET WARNING: Provide your final response NOW]' into
tool results, causing models to abandon complex tasks prematurely.
- Now: no warnings during normal execution. When the budget is
actually exhausted (90/90), inject a user message asking the model
to summarise, allow one grace API call, and only then fall back
to _handle_max_iterations.
3. Activity touches during long terminal execution
- _wait_for_process polls every 0.2s but never reported activity.
The gateway's inactivity timeout (default 1800s) would fire during
long-running commands that appeared 'idle.'
- Now: thread-local activity callback fires every 10s during the
poll loop, keeping the gateway's activity tracker alive.
- Agent wires _touch_activity into the callback before each tool call.
Also: docs update noting 64K minimum context requirement.
Closes#7915 (root cause was agent-loop termination, not Weixin delivery limits).
Complete the contextvars migration by adding HERMES_SESSION_KEY to the
unified _VAR_MAP in session_context.py. Without this, concurrent gateway
handlers race on os.environ["HERMES_SESSION_KEY"].
- Add _SESSION_KEY ContextVar to _VAR_MAP, set_session_vars(), clear_session_vars()
- Wire session_key through _set_session_env() from SessionContext
- Replace os.getenv fallback in tools/approval.py with get_session_env()
(function-level import to avoid cross-layer coupling)
- Keep os.environ set as CLI/cron fallback

- Add --env KEY=VALUE for passing environment variables to stdio MCP servers
- Add --preset for known MCP server templates (empty for now, extensible)
- Validate env var names, reject --env for HTTP servers
- Explicit --command/--url overrides preset defaults
- Remove unused getpass import
Based on PR #7936 by @syaor4n (stitch preset removed, generic infra kept).
Add a second WeCom integration mode for regular enterprise self-built
applications. Unlike the existing bot/websocket adapter (wecom.py),
this handles WeCom's standard callback flow: WeCom POSTs encrypted XML
to an HTTP endpoint, the adapter decrypts, queues for the agent, and
immediately acknowledges. The agent's reply is delivered proactively
via the message/send API.
Key design choice: always acknowledge immediately and use proactive
send — agent sessions take 3-30 minutes, so the 5-second inline reply
window is never useful. The original PR's Future/pending-reply
machinery was removed in favour of this simpler architecture.
Features:
- AES-CBC encrypt/decrypt (BizMsgCrypt-compatible)
- Multi-app routing scoped by corp_id:user_id
- Legacy bare user_id fallback for backward compat
- Access-token management with auto-refresh
- WECOM_CALLBACK_* env var overrides
- Port-in-use pre-check before binding
- Health endpoint at /health
Salvaged from PR #7774 by @chqchshj. Simplified by removing the
inline reply Future system and fixing: secrets.choice for nonce
generation, immediate plain-text acknowledgment (not encrypted XML
containing 'success'), and initial token refresh error handling.
Adds _normalize_path() helper that calls expanduser().resolve() to
properly handle tilde paths (e.g. ~/.hermes, ~/.config). Previously
Path.resolve() alone treated ~ as a literal directory name, producing
invalid paths like /root/~/.hermes.
Also improves _run_git() error handling to distinguish missing working
directories from missing git executable, and adds pre-flight directory
validation.

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

This commit addresses a security vulnerability where unsanitized user inputs for commit_hash and file_path were passed directly to git commands in CheckpointManager.restore() and diff(). It validates commit hashes to be strictly hexadecimal characters without leading dashes (preventing flag injection like '--patch') and enforces file paths to stay within the working directory via root resolution. Regression tests test_restore_rejects_argument_injection, test_restore_rejects_invalid_hex_chars, and test_restore_rejects_path_traversal were added.
The cherry-picked fix from PR #7916 placed model propagation after
the credential pool early-return in _resolve_named_custom_runtime(),
making it dead code when a pool is active (which happens whenever
custom_providers has an api_key that auto-seeds the pool).
- Inject model into pool_result before returning
- Add 5 regression tests covering direct path, pool path, empty
model, and absent model scenarios
- Add 'model' to _VALID_CUSTOM_PROVIDER_FIELDS for config validation
The startup guard tests called connect() which bound a real aiohttp
server on port 8080 — flaky in any environment where the port is
in use. Mock AppRunner, TCPSite, and ClientSession instead.
The interrupt mechanism in tools/interrupt.py used a process-global
threading.Event. In the gateway, multiple agents run concurrently in
the same process via run_in_executor. When any agent was interrupted
(user sends a follow-up message), the global flag killed ALL agents'
running tools — terminal commands, browser ops, web requests — across
all sessions.
Changes:
- tools/interrupt.py: Replace single threading.Event with a set of
interrupted thread IDs. set_interrupt() targets a specific thread;
is_interrupted() checks the current thread. Includes a backward-
compatible _ThreadAwareEventProxy for legacy _interrupt_event usage.
- run_agent.py: Store execution thread ID at start of run_conversation().
interrupt() and clear_interrupt() pass it to set_interrupt() so only
this agent's thread is affected.
- tools/code_execution_tool.py: Use is_interrupted() instead of
directly checking _interrupt_event.is_set().
- tools/process_registry.py: Same — use is_interrupted().
- tests: Update interrupt tests for per-thread semantics. Add new
TestPerThreadInterruptIsolation with two tests verifying cross-thread
isolation.
When a Python process exits uncleanly (SIGKILL, crash, gateway restart
via hermes update), in-memory _active_sessions tracking is lost but the
agent-browser node daemons and their Chromium child processes keep
running indefinitely. On a long-running system this causes unbounded
memory growth — 24 orphaned sessions consumed 7.6 GB on a production
machine over 9 days.
Add _reap_orphaned_browser_sessions() which scans the tmp directory for
agent-browser-{h_*,cdp_*} socket dirs on cleanup thread startup. For
each dir not tracked by the current process, reads the daemon PID file
and sends SIGTERM if the daemon is still alive. Handles edge cases:
dead PIDs, corrupt PID files, permission errors, foreign processes.
The reaper runs once on thread startup (not every 30s) to avoid races
with sessions being actively created by concurrent agents.
When sending multi-chunk responses, individual chunks can fail due to
transient iLink API errors. Previously a single failure would abort the
entire message. Now each chunk is retried with linear backoff before
giving up, and the same client_id is reused across retries for
server-side deduplication.
Configurable via config.yaml (platforms.weixin.extra) or env vars:
- send_chunk_delay_seconds (default 0.35s) — pacing between chunks
- send_chunk_retries (default 2) — max retry attempts per chunk
- send_chunk_retry_delay_seconds (default 1.0s) — base retry delay
Replaces the hardcoded 0.3s inter-chunk delay from #7903.

The test expected content=None to immediately trigger thinking-exhaustion,
but PR #7738 correctly gates that check on _has_think_tags. Without think
tags, the agent falls through to normal continuation retry (3 attempts).
When API routers rewrite finish_reason from "length" to "tool_calls",
truncated JSON arguments bypassed the length handler and wasted 3
retry attempts in the generic JSON validation loop. Now detects
truncation patterns in tool call arguments regardless of finish_reason.

Background process watchers (notify_on_complete, check_interval) created
synthetic SessionSource objects without user_id/user_name. While the
internal=True bypass (1d8d4f28) prevented false pairing for agent-
generated notifications, the missing identity caused:
- Garbage entries in pairing rate limiters (discord:None, telegram:None)
- 'User None' in approval messages and logs
- No user identity available for future code paths that need it
Additionally, platform messages arriving without from_user (Telegram
service messages, channel forwards, anonymous admin actions) could still
trigger false pairing because they are not internal events.
Fix:
1. Propagate user_id/user_name through the full watcher chain:
session_context.py → gateway/run.py → terminal_tool.py →
process_registry.py (including checkpoint persistence/recovery)
2. Add None user_id guard in _handle_message() — silently drop
non-internal messages with no user identity instead of triggering
the pairing flow.

Two-phase design so the warning fires before the user's first message
on every platform:
Phase 1 (__init__):
_check_compression_model_feasibility() runs during agent construction.
Resolves the auxiliary compression model (same chain as call_llm with
task='compression'), compares its context length to the main model's
compression threshold. If too small, emits via _emit_status() (prints
for CLI) and stores the warning in _compression_warning.
Phase 2 (run_conversation, first call):
_replay_compression_warning() re-sends the stored warning through
status_callback — which the gateway wires AFTER construction. The
warning is then cleared so it only fires once.
This ensures:
- CLI users see the warning immediately at startup (right after the
context limit line)
- Gateway users (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix,
Mattermost, Home Assistant, DingTalk, etc.) receive it via
status_callback('lifecycle', ...) on their first message
- logger.warning() always hits agent.log regardless of platform
Also warns when no auxiliary LLM provider is configured at all.
Entire check wrapped in try/except — never blocks startup.
11 tests covering: core warning logic, boundary conditions, exception
safety, two-phase store+replay, gateway callback wiring, and
single-delivery guarantee.
The Weixin adapter was splitting responses at every top-level newline,
causing notification spam (up to 70 API calls for a single long markdown
response). This salvages the best aspects of six contributor PRs:
Compact mode (new default):
- Messages under the 4000-char limit stay as a single bubble even with
multiple lines, paragraphs, and code blocks
- Only oversized messages get split at logical markdown boundaries
- Inter-chunk delay (0.3s) between chunks prevents WeChat rate-limit drops
Legacy mode (opt-in):
- Set split_multiline_messages: true in platforms.weixin.extra config
- Or set WEIXIN_SPLIT_MULTILINE_MESSAGES=true env var
- Restores the old per-line splitting behavior

Core fix unanimous across all six; config toggle from #7838; inter-chunk
delay from #7825.
Independent halving of width and height caused aspect ratio distortion
for extreme dimensions (e.g. 8000x200 panoramas). When one axis hit the
64px floor, the other kept shrinking — collapsing the ratio toward 1:1.
Use proportional scaling instead: when either dimension hits the floor,
derive the effective scale factor and apply it to both axes.
Add tests for extreme panorama (8000x200) and tall narrow (200x6000)
images to verify aspect ratio preservation.
hermes claw migrate now always shows a full dry-run preview before

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix: circuit breaker stops CPU-burning restart loops on persistent errors
When a gateway session hits a non-retryable error (e.g. invalid model
ID → HTTP 400), the agent fails and returns. But if the session keeps
receiving messages (or something periodically recreates agents), each
attempt spawns a new AIAgent — reinitializing MCP server connections,
burning CPU — only to hit the same 400 error again. On a 4-core server,
this pegs an entire core per stuck session and accumulates 300+ minutes
of CPU time over hours.
Fix: add a per-session consecutive failure counter in the gateway runner.
- Track consecutive non-retryable failures per session key
- After 3 consecutive failures (_MAX_CONSECUTIVE_FAILURES), block
further agent creation for that session and notify the user:
'⚠️ This session has failed N times in a row with a non-retryable
error. Use /reset to start a new session.'
- Evict the cached agent when the circuit breaker engages to prevent
stale state from accumulating
- Reset the counter on successful agent runs
- Clear the counter on /reset and /new so users can recover
- Uses getattr() pattern so bare GatewayRunner instances (common in
tests using object.__new__) don't crash
Tests:
- 8 new tests in test_circuit_breaker.py covering counter behavior,
threshold, reset, session isolation, and bare-runner safety
Addresses #7130.
* Revert "fix: circuit breaker stops CPU-burning restart loops on persistent errors"
This reverts commit d848ea7109d62a2fc4ba6da36fc4f0366b5ded94.
* fix: don't evict cached agent on failed runs — prevents MCP restart loop
When a run fails (e.g. invalid model ID → 400) and fallback activated,
the gateway was evicting the cached agent to 'retry primary next time.'
But evicting a failed agent forces a full AIAgent recreation on the next
message — reinitializing MCP server connections, spawning stdio
processes — only to hit the same 400 again. This created a CPU-burning
loop (91%+ for hours, #7130).
The fix: add `and not _run_failed` to the fallback-eviction check.
Failed runs keep the cached agent. The next message reuses it (no MCP
reinit), hits the same error, returns it to the user quickly. The user
can /reset or /model to fix their config.
Successful fallback runs still evict as before so the next message
retries the primary model.
Addresses #7130.
- Remove unreachable `if not content_sample` branch inside the truthy
`if content_sample` block in `_is_likely_binary()` (dead code that
could never execute).
- Replace `linter_cmd.format(file=...)` with `linter_cmd.replace("{file}", ...)`
in `_check_lint()` so file paths containing curly braces (e.g.
`src/{test}.py`) no longer raise KeyError/ValueError.
- Add 16 unit tests covering both fixes and edge cases.

GPT-5+ models (except gpt-5-mini) are only accessible via the Responses
API on Copilot. When these models were configured as the compression
summary_model (or any auxiliary task), the plain OpenAI client sent them
to /chat/completions which returned a 400 error:
model "gpt-5.4-mini" is not accessible via the /chat/completions endpoint
resolve_provider_client() now checks _should_use_copilot_responses_api()
for the copilot provider and wraps the client in CodexAuxiliaryClient
when needed, routing calls through responses.stream() transparently.
Adds tests for both the wrapping (gpt-5.4-mini) and non-wrapping
(gpt-4.1-mini) paths.
Add delegation.reasoning_effort config key so subagents can run at a
different thinking level than the parent agent. When set, overrides
the parent's reasoning_config; when empty, inherits as before.
Valid values: xhigh, high, medium, low, minimal, none (disables thinking).
Config path: delegation.reasoning_effort in config.yaml
Files changed:
- tools/delegate_tool.py: resolve override in _build_child_agent
- hermes_cli/config.py: add reasoning_effort to DEFAULT_CONFIG
- tests/tools/test_delegate.py: 4 new tests covering all cases
Follow-up fixes for the matrix-nio → mautrix migration:
1. Module-level mautrix.types import now wrapped in try/except with
proper stub classes. Without this, importing gateway.platforms.matrix
crashes the entire gateway when mautrix isn't installed — even for
users who don't use Matrix. The stubs mirror mautrix's real attribute
names so tests that exercise adapter methods (send, reactions, etc.)
work without the real SDK.
2. Removed _ensure_mautrix_mock() from test_matrix_mention.py — it
permanently installed MagicMock modules in sys.modules via setdefault(),
polluting later tests in the suite. No longer needed since the module
imports cleanly without mautrix.
3. Fixed thread persistence tests to use direct class reference in
monkeypatch.setattr() instead of string-based paths, which broke
when the module was reimported by other tests.
4. Moved the module-importability test to a subprocess to prevent it
from polluting sys.modules (reimporting creates a second module object
with different __dict__, breaking patch.object in subsequent tests).
matrix-nio pulls in peewee -> atomicwrites (sdist-only, archived,
missing build-system metadata) which breaks nix flake builds.
mautrix-python publishes wheels, has a leaner dep tree, and its
[encryption] extra uses the same python-olm without the problematic
transitive chain.
- Add shared is_wsl() to hermes_constants (like is_termux)
- Update supports_systemd_services() to verify systemd is actually
running on WSL before returning True
- Add WSL-specific guidance in gateway install/start/setup/status
for both cases: WSL+systemd and WSL without systemd
- Improve help strings: 'run' now says recommended for WSL/Docker,
'start'/'install' now mention systemd/launchd explicitly
- Add WSL gateway FAQ section with tmux/nohup/Task Scheduler tips
- Update CLI commands docs with WSL tip
- Deduplicate _is_wsl() from clipboard.py to shared hermes_constants
- Fix clipboard tests to reset hermes_constants cache
- 20 new WSL-specific tests covering detection, systemd check,
supports_systemd_services integration, and command output
Motivated by user feedback: took 1 hour to figure out run vs start
on WSL, Telegram bot kept disconnecting due to flaky WSL systemd.
Cover the three key behaviors:
- bulk_upload_fn is called instead of per-file upload_fn
- Fallback to upload_fn when bulk_upload_fn is None
- Rollback on bulk upload failure retries all files
- Remove auto-activation: when context.engine is 'compressor' (default),
plugin-registered engines are NOT used. Users must explicitly set
context.engine to a plugin name to activate it.
- Add curses_radiolist() to curses_ui.py: single-select radio picker
with keyboard nav + text fallback, matching curses_checklist pattern.
- Rewrite cmd_toggle() as composite plugins UI:
Top section: general plugins with checkboxes (existing behavior)
Bottom section: provider plugin categories (Memory Provider, Context Engine)
with current selection shown inline. ENTER/SPACE on a category opens
a radiolist sub-screen for single-select configuration.
- Add provider discovery helpers: _discover_memory_providers(),
_discover_context_engines(), config read/save for memory.provider
and context.engine.
- Add tests: radiolist non-TTY fallback, provider config save/load,
discovery error handling, auto-activation removal verification.
- PluginContext.register_context_engine() lets plugins replace the
built-in ContextCompressor with a custom ContextEngine implementation
- PluginManager stores the registered engine; only one allowed
- run_agent.py checks for a plugin engine at init before falling back
to the default ContextCompressor
- reset_session_state() now calls engine.on_session_reset() instead of
poking internal attributes directly
- ContextCompressor.on_session_reset() handles its own internals
(_context_probed, _previous_summary, etc.)
- 19 new tests covering ABC contract, defaults, plugin slot registration,
rejection of duplicates/non-engines, and compressor reset behavior
- All 34 existing compressor tests pass unchanged
When models return empty responses (no content, no tool calls, no
reasoning), Hermes previously retried 3 times silently then fell through
to '(empty)' — without ever trying the fallback provider chain. Users on
GLM-4.5-Air and similar models experienced what appeared to be a
complete hang, especially in gateway (Telegram/Discord) contexts where
the silent retries produced zero feedback.
Changes:
- After exhausting 3 empty retries, attempt _try_activate_fallback()
before giving up with '(empty)'. If fallback succeeds, reset retry
counter and continue the conversation loop with the new provider.
- Replace all _vprint() calls in recovery paths with _emit_status(),
which surfaces messages through both CLI (_vprint with force=True)
and gateway (status_callback -> adapter.send). Users now see:
* '⚠️ Empty response from model — retrying (N/3)' during retries
* '⚠️ Model returning empty responses — switching to fallback...'
* '↻ Switched to fallback: <model> (<provider>)' on success
* '❌ Model returned no content after all retries [and fallback]'
- Add logger.warning() throughout empty response paths for log file
visibility (model name, provider, retry counts).
- Upgrade _last_content_with_tools fallback from logger.debug to
logger.info + _emit_status so recovery is visible.
- Upgrade thinking-only prefill continuation to use _emit_status.
Tests:
- test_empty_response_triggers_fallback_provider: verifies fallback
activation after 3 empty retries produces content from fallback model
- test_empty_response_fallback_also_empty_returns_empty: verifies
graceful degradation when fallback also returns empty
- test_empty_response_emits_status_for_gateway: verifies _emit_status
is called during retries so gateway users see feedback
Addresses #7180.
Tool progress markers (e.g. `⏰ list`) were injected directly into
SSE delta.content chunks. OpenAI-compatible frontends (Open WebUI,
LobeChat, etc.) store delta.content verbatim as the assistant message
and send it back on subsequent requests. After enough turns, the model
learns to emit these markers as plain text instead of issuing real tool
calls — silently hallucinating tool results without ever running them.
Fix: Send tool progress as a custom `event: hermes.tool.progress` SSE
event instead of mixing it into delta.content. Per the SSE spec, clients
that don't understand a custom event type silently ignore it, so this is
backward-compatible. Frontends that want to render progress indicators
can listen for the custom event without persisting it to conversation
history.
The /v1/runs endpoint already uses structured events — this aligns the
/v1/chat/completions streaming path with the same principle.
Closes#6972
* fix(nix): gate matrix extra to Linux in [all] profile
matrix-nio[e2e] depends on python-olm which is upstream-broken on modern
macOS (Clang 21+, archived libolm). Previously the [matrix] extra was
completely excluded from [all], meaning NixOS users (who install via [all])
had no Matrix support at all.
Add a sys_platform == 'linux' marker so [all] pulls in [matrix] on Linux
(where python-olm builds fine) while still skipping it on macOS. This
fixes the NixOS setup path without breaking macOS installs.
Update the regression test to verify the Linux-gated marker is present
rather than just checking matrix is absent from [all].
Fixes#4594
* chore: regenerate uv.lock with matrix-on-linux in [all]
When two gateway messages arrived concurrently, _set_session_env wrote
HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM/CHAT_ID/CHAT_NAME/THREAD_ID into the process-global
os.environ. Because asyncio tasks share the same process, Message B would
overwrite Message A's values mid-flight, causing background-task notifications
and tool calls to route to the wrong thread/chat.
Replace os.environ with Python's contextvars.ContextVar. Each asyncio task
(and any run_in_executor thread it spawns) gets its own copy, so concurrent
messages never interfere.
Changes:
- New gateway/session_context.py with ContextVar definitions, set/clear/get
helpers, and os.environ fallback for CLI/cron/test backward compatibility
- gateway/run.py: _set_session_env returns reset tokens, _clear_session_env
accepts them for proper cleanup in finally blocks
- All tool consumers updated: cronjob_tools, send_message_tool, skills_tool,
terminal_tool (both notify_on_complete AND check_interval blocks), tts_tool,
agent/skill_utils, agent/prompt_builder
- Tests updated for new contextvar-based API

Add 9 tests covering the full zombie process prevention chain:
- TestZombieReproduction: demonstrates that processes survive when
references are dropped without explicit cleanup (the original bug)
- TestAgentCloseMethod: verifies close() calls all cleanup functions,
is idempotent, propagates to children, and continues cleanup even
when individual steps fail
- TestGatewayCleanupWiring: verifies stop() calls close() and that
_evict_cached_agent() does NOT call close() (since it's also used
for non-destructive cache refreshes)
- TestDelegationCleanup: calls the real _run_single_child function and
verifies close() is called on the child agent

The API server connect() now refuses to start when the bind address is
network-accessible and no API_SERVER_KEY is set, preventing RCE from

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

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

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

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

When opencode-go API key is set, it should appear in the /model list.
The provider was already in PROVIDER_TO_MODELS_DEV and PROVIDER_REGISTRY,
so it appears via Part 1 (built-in source).
Also fixes a potential issue in Part 2 (HERMES_OVERLAYS) where providers
with auth_type=api_key but no extra_env_vars would not be detected:
- Now also checks api_key_env_vars from PROVIDER_REGISTRY for api_key auth_type
- Add test verifying opencode-go appears when OPENCODE_GO_API_KEY is set
When switching models at runtime, the config_context_length override
was not being passed to the new context compressor instance. This
meant the user-specified context length from config.yaml was lost
after a model switch.
- Store _config_context_length on AIAgent instance during __init__
- Pass _config_context_length when creating new ContextCompressor in switch_model
- Add test to verify config_context_length is preserved across model switches

Port from anomalyco/opencode#21355: Alibaba's DashScope API returns a
unique throttling message ('Request rate increased too quickly...') that
doesn't match standard rate-limit patterns ('rate limit', 'too many

category rather than being properly classified as rate_limit with
appropriate backoff/rotation.
Add 'rate increased too quickly' to _RATE_LIMIT_PATTERNS and test with
the exact error message observed from the Alibaba provider.
Telegram's Bot API only allows a specific set of emoji for bot reactions

Four gaps in DANGEROUS_PATTERNS found by running 10 targeted tests that
each mapped to a specific pattern in approval.py and checked whether the
documented defense actually held.
1. **Heredoc script injection** — `python3 << 'EOF'` bypasses the
existing `-e`/`-c` flag pattern. Adds pattern for interpreter + `<<`
covering python{2,3}, perl, ruby, node.
2. **PID expansion self-termination** — `kill -9 $(pgrep hermes)` is
opaque to the existing `pkill|killall` + name pattern because command
substitution is not expanded at detection time. Adds structural
patterns matching `kill` + `$(pgrep` and backtick variants.
3. **Git destructive operations** — `git reset --hard`, `push --force`,
`push -f`, `clean -f*`, and `branch -D` were entirely absent.
Note: `branch -d` also triggers because IGNORECASE is global —
acceptable since -d is still a delete, just a safe one, and the
prompt is only a confirmation, not a hard block.
4. **chmod +x then execute** — two-step social engineering where a
script containing dangerous commands is first written to disk (not
checked by write_file), then made executable and run as `./script`.
Pattern catches `chmod +x ... [;&|]+ ./` combos. Does not solve the
deeper architectural issue (write_file not checking content) — that
is called out in the PR description as a known limitation.
Tests: 23 new cases across 4 test classes, all in test_approval.py:
- TestHeredocScriptExecution (7 cases, incl. regressions for -c)
- TestPgrepKillExpansion (5 cases, incl. safe kill PID negative)
- TestGitDestructiveOps (8 cases, incl. safe git status/push negatives)
- TestChmodExecuteCombo (3 cases, incl. safe chmod-only negative)
Full suite: 146 passed, 0 failed.
_resolve_api_key_provider() now checks is_provider_explicitly_configured

without their knowledge.

Previously, removing a claude_code credential from the anthropic pool
only printed a note — the next load_pool() re-seeded it from

Follows the pattern of env: source removal (clears .env var) and
device_code removal (clears auth store state).

The API server's _run_agent() was not passing task_id to
run_conversation(), causing a fresh random UUID per request. This meant
every Open WebUI message spun up a new Docker container and tore it down
afterward — making persistent filesystem state impossible.
Two fixes:
1. Pass task_id="default" so all API server conversations share the same
Docker container (matching the design intent: one configured Docker
environment, always the same container).
2. Derive a stable session_id from the system prompt + first user message
hash instead of uuid4(). This stops hermes sessions list from being
polluted with single-message throwaway sessions.
Fixes#3438.
Slack may return an HTML sign-in/redirect page instead of actual media

1. Content-Type check in slack.py rejects text/html responses early
2. Magic-byte validation in base.py's cache_image_from_bytes() rejects
non-image data regardless of source platform
Also adds ValueError guards in wecom.py and email.py so the new
validation doesn't crash those adapters.
Closes#6829
When kill_process() sends SIGTERM, both it and the reader thread race
to call _move_to_finished() — kill_process sets exit_code=-15 and
enqueues a notification, then the reader thread's process.wait()
returns with exit_code=143 (128+SIGTERM) and enqueues a second one.
Fix: make _move_to_finished() idempotent by tracking whether the
session was actually removed from _running. The second call sees it
was already moved and skips the completion_queue.put().
Adds regression test: test_move_to_finished_idempotent_no_duplicate
- test_background_autocompletes: pytest.importorskip("prompt_toolkit")
so the test skips gracefully where the CLI dep is absent
- test_run_agent_progress_stays_in_originating_topic: update stale emoji
💻 → ⚙️ to match get_tool_emoji("terminal", default="⚙️") in run.py
- test_internal_event_bypass{_authorization,_pairing}: mock
_handle_message_with_agent to raise immediately; avoids the 300s
run_in_executor hang that caused the tests to time out
Platforms that don't return a message_id after the first send (Signal,
GitHub webhooks) were causing GatewayStreamConsumer to re-enter the
"first send" path on every tool boundary, posting one platform message
per tool call (observed as 155 PR comments on a single response).
Fix: treat _message_id == "__no_edit__" as a sentinel meaning "platform
accepted the send but cannot be edited". When a tool boundary arrives
in that state, skip the message_id/accumulated/last_sent_text reset so
all continuation text is delivered once via _send_fallback_final rather
than re-posted per segment.
Also make prompt_toolkit imports in hermes_cli/commands.py optional so
gateway and test environments that lack the package can still import
resolve_command, gateway_help_lines, and COMMAND_REGISTRY.
Adds a regression test verifying that /background bypasses the
active-session guard in the platform adapter, matching the existing
test pattern for /stop, /new, /approve, /deny, and /status.
The resume_session and load_session handlers were implemented but undiscoverable by ACP clients because the capabilities weren't declared in the initialize response. Adds load_session=True and resume=SessionResumeCapabilities() plus wire-format tests. Fixes#6633. Contributed by @luyao618.
launchd_stop() previously used `launchctl kill SIGTERM` which only
signals the process. Because the plist has KeepAlive.SuccessfulExit=false,
launchd immediately respawns the gateway — making `hermes gateway stop`
a no-op that prints '✓ Service stopped' while the service keeps running.
Switch to `launchctl bootout` which unloads the service definition so
KeepAlive can't trigger. The process exits and stays stopped until
`hermes gateway start` (which already handles re-bootstrapping unloaded
jobs via error codes 3/113).
Also adds _wait_for_gateway_exit() after bootout to ensure the process
is fully gone before returning, and tolerates 'already unloaded' errors.
Fixes: .env changes not taking effect after gateway stop+restart on macOS.
The root cause was that stop didn't actually stop — the respawned process
loaded the old env before the user's restart command ran.
Automated dead code audit using vulture + coverage.py + ast-grep intersection,

of stale test code. 3 entire files deleted (agent/builtin_memory_provider.py,

When an MCP server returns both content (model-oriented text) and
structuredContent (machine-oriented JSON), the client now combines
them instead of discarding content. The text content becomes the
primary result (what the agent reads), and structuredContent is
included as supplementary metadata.
Previously, structuredContent took full precedence — causing data
loss for servers like Desktop Commander that put the actual file
text in content and metadata in structuredContent.
MCP spec guidance: for conversational/agent UX, prefer content.
When installing a system service via sudo, ExecStart, WorkingDirectory,
VIRTUAL_ENV, and PATH entries were not remapped to the target user's
home — only HERMES_HOME was. This caused the service to fail with
status=200/CHDIR because the target user cannot access /root/.
Adds _remap_path_for_user() helper and applies it to all path variables
in the system branch of generate_systemd_unit().
Closes#6989
Legacy flat stt.model config key (from cli-config.yaml.example and older
versions) was passed as a model override to transcribe_audio() by the
gateway, bypassing provider-specific model resolution. When the provider
was 'local' (faster-whisper), this caused:
ValueError: Invalid model size 'whisper-1'
Changes:
- gateway/run.py, discord.py: stop passing model override — let
transcribe_audio() handle provider-specific model resolution internally
- get_stt_model_from_config(): now provider-aware, reads from the correct
nested section (stt.local.model, stt.openai.model, etc.); ignores
legacy flat key for local provider to prevent model name mismatch
- cli-config.yaml.example: updated STT section to show nested provider
config structure instead of legacy flat key
- config migration v13→v14: moves legacy stt.model to the correct
provider section and removes the flat key

- Add _session_model_overrides and _voice_mode to gateway test runner
for object.__new__() safety.
Custom providers defined in config.yaml under were
completely invisible to the /model command in both gateway (Telegram,
Discord, etc.) and CLI. The provider listing skipped them and explicit
switching via --provider failed with "Unknown provider".
Root cause: gateway/run.py, cli.py, and model_switch.py only read the
dict from config, ignoring entirely.
Changes:
- providers.py: add resolve_custom_provider() and extend
resolve_provider_full() to check custom_providers after user_providers
- model_switch.py: propagate custom_providers through switch_model(),
list_authenticated_providers(), and get_authenticated_provider_slugs();
add custom provider section to provider listings
- gateway/run.py: read custom_providers from config, pass to all
model-switch calls
- cli.py: hoist config loading, pass custom_providers to listing and
switch calls
Tests: 4 new regression tests covering listing, resolution, and gateway
command handler. All 71 tests pass.
xAI /v1/models does not return context_length metadata, so Hermes
probes down to the 128k default whenever a user configures a custom
provider pointing at https://api.x.ai/v1. This forces every xAI user
to manually override model.context_length in config.yaml (2M for
Grok 4.20 / 4.1-fast / 4-fast) or lose most of the usable context
window.
Add DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS entries for the Grok family so the
fallback lookup returns the correct value via substring matching.
Values sourced from models.dev (2026-04) and cross-checked against
the xAI /v1/models listing:
- grok-4.20-* 2,000,000 (reasoning, non-reasoning, multi-agent)
- grok-4-1-fast-* 2,000,000
- grok-4-fast-* 2,000,000
- grok-4 / grok-4-0709 256,000
- grok-code-fast-1 256,000
- grok-3* 131,072
- grok-2 / latest 131,072
- grok-2-vision* 8,192
- grok (catch-all) 131,072
Keys are ordered longest-first so that specific variants match before
the catch-all, consistent with the existing Claude/Gemma/MiniMax entries.
Add TestDefaultContextLengths.test_grok_models_context_lengths and
test_grok_substring_matching to pin the values and verify the full
lookup path. All 77 tests in test_model_metadata.py pass.
The session store was copying the ENTIRE parent DM transcript into new
thread sessions. This caused unrelated conversations to bleed across
threads in Slack DMs.
The Slack adapter already handles thread context correctly via
_fetch_thread_context() (conversations.replies API), which fetches
only the actual thread messages. The session-level seeding was both
redundant and harmful.
No other platform (Telegram, Discord) uses DM threads, so the seeding
code path was only triggered by Slack — where it conflicted with the
adapter-level context.
Tests updated to assert thread isolation: all thread sessions start
empty, platform adapters are responsible for injecting thread context.

Change behavior from silent clamping to returning an error when the
model requests a foreground timeout exceeding FOREGROUND_MAX_TIMEOUT.
This forces the model to use background=true for long-running commands
rather than silently changing its intent.
- Config default timeouts above the cap are NOT rejected (user's choice)
- Only explicit model-requested timeouts trigger rejection
- Added boundary test for timeout exactly at the limit
When the model calls terminal() in foreground mode without background=true
(e.g. to start a server), the tool call blocks until the command exits or
the timeout expires. Without an upper bound the model can request arbitrarily
high timeouts (the schema had minimum=1 but no maximum), blocking the entire
agent session for hours until the gateway idle watchdog kills it.
Changes:
- Add FOREGROUND_MAX_TIMEOUT (600s, configurable via
TERMINAL_MAX_FOREGROUND_TIMEOUT env var) that caps foreground timeout
- Clamp effective_timeout to the cap when background=false and timeout
exceeds the limit
- Include a timeout_note in the tool result when clamped, nudging the
model to use background=true for long-running processes
- Update schema description to show the max timeout value
- Remove dead clamping code in the background branch that could never
fire (max_timeout was set to effective_timeout, so timeout > max_timeout
was always false)
- Add 7 tests covering clamping, no-clamping, config-default-exceeds-cap
edge case, background bypass, default timeout, constant value, and
schema content
Self-review fixes:
- Fixed bug where timeout_note said 'Requested timeout Nones' when
clamping fired from config default exceeding cap (timeout param is
None). Now uses unclamped_timeout instead of the raw timeout param.
- Removed unused pytest import from test file
- Extracted test config dict into _make_env_config() helper
- Fixed tautological test_default_value assertion
- Added missing test for config default > cap with no model timeout
The gateway /model command stored session overrides in
_session_model_overrides but run_sync() never consulted them when
resolving the model and runtime for the next message. It always read
from config.yaml, so the switch was lost as soon as a new agent was
created.
Two fixes:
1. In run_sync(), apply _session_model_overrides after resolving from
config.yaml/env — the override takes precedence for model, provider,
api_key, base_url, and api_mode.
2. In post-run fallback detection, check whether the model mismatch
(agent.model != config_model) is due to an intentional /model switch
before evicting the cached agent. Without this, the first message
after /model would work (cached agent reused) but the fallback
detector would evict it, causing the next message to revert.
Affects all gateway platforms (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp,
Signal, Matrix, BlueBubbles, HomeAssistant) since they all share
GatewayRunner._run_agent().
Fixes#6213
The gateway /usage handler only looked in _running_agents for the agent
object, which is only populated while the agent is actively processing a
message. Between turns (when users actually type /usage), the dict is
empty and the handler fell through to a rough message-count estimate.
The agent object actually lives in _agent_cache between turns (kept for
prompt caching). This fix checks both dicts, with _running_agents taking
priority (mid-turn) and _agent_cache as the between-turns fallback.
Also brings the gateway output to parity with the CLI /usage:
- Model name
- Detailed token breakdown (input, output, cache read, cache write)
- Cost estimation (estimated amount or 'included' for subscriptions)
- Cache token lines hidden when zero (cleaner output)
This fixes Nous Portal rate limit headers not showing up for gateway
users — the data was being captured correctly but the handler could
never see it.
Extends the /fast command to support Anthropic's Fast Mode beta in addition
to OpenAI Priority Processing. When enabled on Claude Opus 4.6, adds
speed:"fast" and the fast-mode-2026-02-01 beta header to API requests for
~2.5x faster output token throughput.
Changes:
- hermes_cli/models.py: Add _ANTHROPIC_FAST_MODE_MODELS registry,
model_supports_fast_mode() now recognizes Claude Opus 4.6,
resolve_fast_mode_overrides() returns {speed: fast} for Anthropic
vs {service_tier: priority} for OpenAI
- agent/anthropic_adapter.py: Add _FAST_MODE_BETA constant,
build_anthropic_kwargs() accepts fast_mode=True which injects
speed:fast + beta header via extra_headers (skipped for third-party
Anthropic-compatible endpoints like MiniMax)
- run_agent.py: Pass fast_mode to build_anthropic_kwargs in the
anthropic_messages path of _build_api_kwargs()
- cli.py: Update _handle_fast_command with provider-aware messaging
(shows 'Anthropic Fast Mode' vs 'Priority Processing')
- hermes_cli/commands.py: Update /fast description to mention both
providers
- tests: 13 new tests covering Anthropic model detection, override
resolution, CLI availability, routing, adapter kwargs, and
third-party endpoint safety
When `hermes update` stashes local changes and the restore hits merge
conflicts, the old code prompted the user to reset or keep conflict
markers. If the user declined the reset, git conflict markers
(<<<<<<< Updated upstream) were left in source files, making hermes
completely unrunnable with a SyntaxError on the next invocation.
Additionally, the interactive path called sys.exit(1), which killed
the entire update process before pip dependency install, skill sync,
and gateway restart could finish — even though the code pull itself
had succeeded.
Changes:
- Always auto-reset to clean state when stash restore conflicts
- Remove the "Reset working tree?" prompt (footgun)
- Remove sys.exit(1) — return False so cmd_update continues normally
- User's changes remain safely in the stash for manual recovery
Also fixes a secondary bug where the conflict handling prompt used
bare input() instead of the input_fn parameter, which would hang
in gateway mode.
Tests updated: replaced prompt/sys.exit assertions with auto-reset
behavior checks; removed the "user declines reset" test (path no
longer exists).
After mid-loop compression (triggered by 413, context_overflow, or Anthropic
long-context tier errors), _compress_context() creates a new session in SQLite
and resets _last_flushed_db_idx=0. However, conversation_history was not cleared,
so _flush_messages_to_session_db() computed:
flush_from = max(len(conversation_history=200), _last_flushed_db_idx=0) = 200
messages[200:] → empty (compressed messages < 200)
This resulted in zero messages being written to the new session's SQLite store.
On resume, the user would see 'Session found but has no messages.'
The preflight compression path (line 7311) already had the fix:
conversation_history = None
This commit adds the same clearing to the three mid-loop compression sites:
- Anthropic long-context tier overflow
- HTTP 413 payload too large
- Generic context_overflow error
Reported by Aaryan (Nous community).
Set _text_batch_delay_seconds = 0 on test adapter fixtures so messages

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

Raise the default httpx stream read timeout from 60s to 120s for all
providers. Additionally, auto-detect local LLM endpoints (Ollama,
llama.cpp, vLLM) and raise the read timeout to HERMES_API_TIMEOUT
(1800s) since local models can take minutes for prefill on large
contexts before producing the first token.
The stale stream timeout already had this local auto-detection pattern;
the httpx read timeout was missing it — causing a hard 60s wall that
users couldn't find (HERMES_STREAM_READ_TIMEOUT was undocumented).
Changes:
- Default HERMES_STREAM_READ_TIMEOUT: 60s -> 120s
- Auto-detect local endpoints -> raise to 1800s (user override respected)
- Document HERMES_STREAM_READ_TIMEOUT and HERMES_STREAM_STALE_TIMEOUT
- Add 10 parametrized tests

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

MiniMax's Anthropic-compatible endpoints reject requests that include
the fine-grained-tool-streaming beta header — every tool-use message
triggers a connection error (~18s timeout). Regular chat works fine.

beta for Bearer-auth (MiniMax) endpoints while keeping all other betas.

* feat: API server model name derived from profile name
For multi-user setups (e.g. OpenWebUI), each profile's API server now
advertises a distinct model name on /v1/models:
- Profile 'lucas' -> model ID 'lucas'
- Profile 'admin' -> model ID 'admin'
- Default profile -> 'hermes-agent' (unchanged)
Explicit override via API_SERVER_MODEL_NAME env var or
platforms.api_server.model_name config for custom names.
Resolves friction where OpenWebUI couldn't distinguish multiple
hermes-agent connections all advertising the same model name.
* docs: multi-user setup with profiles for API server + Open WebUI
- api-server.md: added Multi-User Setup section, API_SERVER_MODEL_NAME
to config table, updated /v1/models description
- open-webui.md: added Multi-User Setup with Profiles section with
step-by-step guide, updated model name references
- environment-variables.md: added API_SERVER_MODEL_NAME entry
When a streaming response is cut mid-tool-call (connection drop, timeout),
the accumulated function.arguments is invalid JSON. The mock response
builder defaulted finish_reason to 'stop', so the agent loop treated it
as a valid completed turn and tried to execute tools with broken args.
Fix: validate tool call arguments with json.loads() during mock response
reconstruction. If any are invalid JSON, override finish_reason to
'length'. In the main loop's length handler, if tool calls are present,
refuse to execute and return partial=True with a clear error instead of
silently failing or wasting retries.
Also fixes _thinking_exhausted to not short-circuit when tool calls are
present — truncated tool calls are not thinking exhaustion.
Original cherry-picked from PR #6776 by AIandI0x1.
Closes#6638.
The test was mocking _vprint entirely, bypassing the suppress guard.
Switch to capturing _print_fn output so the real _vprint runs and
the guard suppresses retry noise as intended.
_classify_by_message had no handling for _USAGE_LIMIT_PATTERNS, so
messages like 'usage limit exceeded, try again in 5 minutes' arriving
without an HTTP status code fell through to FailoverReason.unknown
instead of rate_limit.
Apply the same billing/rate-limit disambiguation that _classify_402
already uses: USAGE_LIMIT_PATTERNS + transient signal → rate_limit,
USAGE_LIMIT_PATTERNS alone → billing.
Add 4 tests covering the no-status-code usage-limit path.
* feat(nix): shared-state permission model for interactive CLI users
Enable interactive CLI users in the hermes group to share full
read-write state (sessions, memories, logs, cron) with the gateway
service via a setgid + group-writable permission model.
Changes:
nix/nixosModules.nix:
- Directories use setgid 2770 (was 0750) so new files inherit the
hermes group. home/ stays 0750 (no interactive write needed).
- Activation script creates HERMES_HOME subdirs (cron, sessions, logs,
memories) — previously Python created them but managed mode now skips
mkdir.
- Activation migrates existing runtime files to group-writable (chmod
g+rw). Nix-managed files (config.yaml, .env, .managed) stay 0640/0644.
- Gateway systemd unit gets UMask=0007 so files it creates are 0660.
hermes_cli/config.py:
- ensure_hermes_home() splits into managed/unmanaged paths. Managed mode
verifies dirs exist (raises RuntimeError if not) instead of creating
them. Scoped umask(0o007) ensures SOUL.md is created as 0660.
hermes_logging.py:
- _ManagedRotatingFileHandler subclass applies chmod 0660 after log
rotation in managed mode. RotatingFileHandler.doRollover() creates new
files via open() which uses the process umask (0022 → 0644), not the
scoped umask from ensure_hermes_home().
Verified with a 13-subtest NixOS VM integration test covering setgid,
interactive writes, file ownership, migration, and gateway coexistence.

* fix(tests): mock is_safe_url in tests that use example.com
Tests using example.com URLs were failing because is_safe_url does a real DNS lookup which fails in environments where example.com doesn't resolve, causing the request to be blocked before reaching the already-mocked HTTP client. This should fix around 17 failing tests.
These tests test logic, caching, etc. so mocking this method should not modify them in any way. TestMattermostSendUrlAsFile was already doing this so we follow the same pattern.
* fix(test): use case-insensitive lookup for model context length check
DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS uses inconsistent casing (MiniMax keys are lowercase, Qwen keys are mixed-case) so the test was broken in some cases since it couldn't find the model.
* fix(test): patch is_linux in systemd gateway restart test
The test only patched is_macos to False but didn't patch is_linux to True. On macOS hosts, is_linux() returns False and the systemd restart code path is skipped entirely, making the assertion fail.
* fix(test): use non-blocklisted env var in docker forward_env tests
GITHUB_TOKEN is in api_key_env_vars and thus in _HERMES_PROVIDER_ENV_BLOCKLIST so the env var is silently dropped, we replace it with a non-blocked one like DATABASE_URL so the tests actually work.
* fix(test): fully isolate _has_any_provider_configured from host env
_has_any_provider_configured() checks all env vars from PROVIDER_REGISTRY (not just the 5 the tests were clearing) and also calls get_auth_status() which detects gh auth token for Copilot. On machines with any of these set, the function returns True before reaching the code path under test.
Clear all registry vars and mock get_auth_status so host credentials don't interfere.
* fix(test): correct path to hermes_base_env.py in tool parser tests
Path(__file__).parent.parent resolved to tests/, not the project root.
The file lives at environments/hermes_base_env.py so we need one more parent level.
* fix(test): accept optional HTML fields in Matrix send payload
_send_matrix sometimes adds format and formatted_body when the markdown library is installed. The test was doing an exact dict equality check which broke. Check required fields instead.
* fix(test): add config.yaml to codex vision requirements test
The test only wrote auth.json but not config.yaml, so _read_main_provider() returned empty and vision auto-detect never tried the codex provider. Add a config.yaml pointing at openai-codex so the fallback path actually resolves the client.
* fix(test): clear OPENROUTER_API_KEY in _isolate_hermes_home
run_agent.py calls load_hermes_dotenv() at import time, which injects API keys from ~/.hermes/.env into os.environ before any test fixture runs. This caused test_agent_loop_tool_calling to make real API calls instead of skipping, which ends up making some tests fail.
* fix(test): add get_rate_limit_state to agent mock in usage report tests
_show_usage now calls agent.get_rate_limit_state() for rate limit
display. The SimpleNamespace mock was missing this method.
* fix(test): update expected Camofox config version from 12 to 13
* fix(test): mock _get_enabled_platforms in nous managed defaults test
Importing gateway.run leaks DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN into os.environ, which makes _get_enabled_platforms() return ["cli", "discord"] instead of just ["cli"]. tools_command loops per platform, so apply_nous_managed_defaults
runs twice: the first call sets config values, the second sees them as
already configured and returns an empty set, causing the assertion to
fail.
The setup wizard's OpenClaw migration previously ran immediately with
aggressive defaults (overwrite=True, preset=full) after a single
'Would you like to import?' prompt. This caused several problems:
- Config values with different semantics (e.g. tool_call_execution:
'auto' in OpenClaw vs 'off' for Hermes yolo mode) were imported
without translation
- Gateway tokens were hijacked from OpenClaw without warning, taking
over Telegram/Slack/Discord channels
- Instruction files (.md) containing OpenClaw-specific setup/restart
procedures were copied, causing Hermes restart failures
Now the migration:
1. Asks 'Would you like to see what can be imported?' (softer framing)
2. Runs a dry-run preview showing everything that would be imported
3. Displays categorized warnings for high-impact items (gateway
takeover, config value differences, instruction files)
4. Asks for explicit confirmation with default=No
5. Executes with overwrite=False (preserves existing Hermes config)
Also extracts _load_openclaw_migration_module() for reuse and adds
_print_migration_preview() with keyword-based warning detection.
Tests updated for two-phase behavior + new test for decline-after-preview.
When the API returns "max_tokens too large given prompt" (input tokens
are within the context window, but input + requested output > window),
the old code incorrectly routed through the same handler as "prompt too
long" errors, calling get_next_probe_tier() and permanently halving
context_length. This made things worse: the window was fine, only the
requested output size needed trimming for that one call.
Two distinct error classes now handled separately:
Prompt too long — input itself exceeds context window.
Fix: compress history + halve context_length (existing behaviour,
unchanged).
Output cap too large — input OK, but input + max_tokens > window.
Fix: parse available_tokens from the error message, set a one-shot
_ephemeral_max_output_tokens override for the retry, and leave
context_length completely untouched.
Changes:
- agent/model_metadata.py: add parse_available_output_tokens_from_error()
that detects Anthropic's "available_tokens: N" error format and returns
the available output budget, or None for all other error types.
- run_agent.py: call the new parser first in the is_context_length_error
block; if it fires, set _ephemeral_max_output_tokens (with a 64-token
safety margin) and break to retry without touching context_length.
_build_api_kwargs consumes the ephemeral value exactly once then clears
it so subsequent calls use self.max_tokens normally.
- agent/anthropic_adapter.py: expand build_anthropic_kwargs docstring to
clearly document the max_tokens (output cap) vs context_length (total
window) distinction, which is a persistent source of confusion due to
the OpenAI-inherited "max_tokens" name.
- cli-config.yaml.example: add inline comments explaining both keys side
by side where users are most likely to look.
- website/docs/integrations/providers.md: add a callout box at the top
of "Context Length Detection" and clarify the troubleshooting entry.
- tests/test_ctx_halving_fix.py: 24 tests across four classes covering
the parser, build_anthropic_kwargs clamping, ephemeral one-shot
consumption, and the invariant that context_length is never mutated
on output-cap errors.
/pr <anything> silently resolved to /prompt via the shortest-match
tiebreaker in prefix expansion, permanently overwriting the system
prompt and persisting to config. The command's functionality (setting
agent.system_prompt) is available via config.yaml and /personality
covers the common use case.
Removes: CommandDef, dispatch branch, _handle_prompt_command handler,
docs references, and updates subcommand extraction test.
The error classifier's generic-400 heuristic only extracted err_body_msg from
the nested body structure (body['error']['message']), missing the flat body
format used by OpenAI's Responses API (body['message']). This caused
descriptive 400 errors like 'Invalid input[index].name: string does not match
pattern' to appear generic when the session was large, misclassifying them as
context overflow and triggering an infinite compression loop.
Added flat-body fallback in _classify_400() consistent with the parent
classify_api_error() function's existing handling at line 297-298.
Parse x-ratelimit-* headers from inference API responses (Nous Portal,
OpenRouter, OpenAI-compatible) and display them in the /usage command.
- New agent/rate_limit_tracker.py: parse 12 rate limit headers (RPM/RPH/
TPM/TPH limits, remaining, reset timers), format as progress bars (CLI)
or compact one-liner (gateway)
- Hook into streaming path in run_agent.py: stream.response.headers is
available on the OpenAI SDK Stream object before chunks are consumed
- CLI /usage: appends rate limit section with progress bars + warnings
when any bucket exceeds 80%
- Gateway /usage: appends compact rate limit summary
- 24 unit tests covering parsing, formatting, edge cases
Headers captured per response:
x-ratelimit-{limit,remaining,reset}-{requests,tokens}{,-1h}
Example CLI display:
Nous Rate Limits (captured just now):
Requests/min [░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░] 0.1% 1/800 used (799 left, resets in 59s)
Tokens/hr [░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░] 0.0% 49/336.0M (336.0M left, resets in 52m)
Wrap is_dir() in _is_valid_subdir() and is_file() in
_load_hints_for_directory() with OSError handlers so that
inaccessible directories (e.g. /root from a non-root Daytona
host user) are silently skipped instead of crashing the agent.
The existing PermissionError PRs for prompt_builder.py (#6247,
#6321, #6355) do not cover subdirectory_hints.py, which was
identified as a separate crash path in the #6214 comments.
Ref: #6214
prune_sessions and delete_session only handled direct children when
satisfying the parent_session_id FK constraint. Multi-level chains
(A -> B -> C) caused IntegrityError because deleting B while C still
referenced it was blocked by the FK.
Fix: NULL out parent_session_id for any session whose parent is about
to be deleted. This orphans children instead of cascade-deleting them,
which also respects the prune retention window — newer child sessions
are no longer deleted just because an ancestor is old.
Reported by Aaryan2304 in PR #6463.
The 24-hour default cooldown for 402-exhausted credentials was far too
aggressive — if a user tops up credits or the 402 was caused by an
oversized max_tokens request rather than true billing exhaustion, they
shouldn't have to wait a full day. Reduce to 1 hour (matching the
existing 429 TTL).
Inspired by PR #6493 (michalkomar).
When a model returns no content, no structured reasoning, and no tool
calls (common with open models), the agent now silently retries up to
3 times before falling through to (empty).
Silent retry (no synthetic messages) keeps the conversation history
clean, preserves prompt caching, and respects the no-synthetic-user-
injection invariant. Most empty responses from open models are
transient (provider hiccups, rate limits, sampling flukes) so a
simple retry is sufficient.
This fills the last gap in the empty-response recovery chain:
1. _last_content_with_tools fallback (prior tool turn had content)
2. Thinking-only prefill continuation (#5931 — structured reasoning)
3. Empty response silent retry (NEW — truly empty, no reasoning)
4. (empty) terminal (last resort after all retries exhausted)
Inline <think> blocks are excluded — the model chose to reason, it
just produced no visible text. That differs from truly empty.
Tests:
- Updated test_truly_empty to expect 4 API calls (1 + 3 retries)
- Added test_truly_empty_response_succeeds_on_nudge
Tests for the new behavior paths:
- Large tool outputs no longer block compaction (motivating scenario)
- Hard minimum of 3 tail messages always protected
- 1.5x soft ceiling for oversized messages
- Small conversations still compress (min 8 messages)
- Token-budget prune path in _prune_old_tool_results
- Fallback to message-count when no token budget
PR #6240 changed tail protection from protect_last_n to min(3, ...)
which increased the minimum compressible message count and shifted
tail boundaries. Three tests broke:
- test_summary_role_avoids_consecutive_user_messages: 6→8 msgs
- test_double_collision_user_head_assistant_tail: 7→8 msgs
- test_no_collision_scenarios_still_work: 6→8 msgs
All tests now exceed the new min_for_compress threshold (6) and
maintain proper role alternation in both head and tail sections.

Prevents unbounded memory growth in _assistant_threads dict.
Evicts oldest entries when exceeding _ASSISTANT_THREADS_MAX (5000),
matching the pattern used by _mentioned_threads and _seen_messages.
The test_non_internal_event_without_user_triggers_pairing test relied on
no Discord auth env vars being set, but gateway/run.py loads dotenv at
module level. In environments with DISCORD_ALLOW_ALL_USERS=True in .env,
the auth check passed instead of triggering the pairing flow.
Clear DISCORD_ALLOW_ALL_USERS, DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS, GATEWAY_ALLOW_ALL_USERS,
and GATEWAY_ALLOWED_USERS via monkeypatch to ensure test isolation.
When a background process with notify_on_complete=True finishes, the
gateway injects a synthetic MessageEvent to notify the session. This
event was constructed without user_id, causing _is_user_authorized()
to reject it and — for DM-origin sessions — trigger the pairing flow,
sending "Hi~ I don't recognize you yet!" with a pairing code to the
chat owner.
Add an `internal` flag to MessageEvent that bypasses authorization
checks for system-generated synthetic events. Only the process watcher
sets this flag; no external/adapter code path can produce it.
Includes 4 regression tests covering the fix and the normal pairing path.
Combines the approaches from PR #6309 (duan78) and PR #5963 (KUSH42):
Tiered warnings (from #5963):
- Replaces boolean _context_pressure_warned with float _context_pressure_warned_at
- Fires at 85% (orange) and re-fires at 95% (red/critical)
- Adds 'compacting context...' status message before compression
Gateway dedup (from #6309):
- Class-level dict _context_pressure_last_warned survives across AIAgent
instances (gateway creates a new instance per message)
- 5-minute cooldown per session prevents warning spam
- Higher-tier warnings bypass the cooldown (85% → 95% always fires)
- Compression reset clears the dedup entry for the session
- Stale entries evicted (older than 2x cooldown) to prevent memory leak
Does NOT inject into messages — purely user-facing via _safe_print (CLI)
and status_callback (gateway). Zero prompt cache impact.
Fixes#6309. Fixes#5963.
The new degradation warning reads compression_count as an int,
but the existing test's MagicMock returns a MagicMock object
for that attribute, causing '>=' comparison to fail.
Introduce gateway_timeout_warning (default 900s) as a pre-timeout alert
layer. When inactivity reaches the warning threshold, a single
notification is sent to the user offering to wait or reset. If
inactivity continues to the gateway_timeout (default 1800s), the full
timeout fires as before.
This gives users a chance to intervene before work is lost on slow
API providers without disabling the safety timeout entirely.
Config: agent.gateway_timeout_warning in config.yaml, or
HERMES_AGENT_TIMEOUT_WARNING env var (0 = disable warning).
Step c in switch_model() blindly converted the first colon to a slash for
aggregator providers, even when the model name already contained a slash
(vendor/model format). This mangled variant tags like :free into /free,
causing 400 Bad Request from the API.
Fix: skip the colon→slash conversion when the model already has a slash,
since the colon is a variant tag, not a vendor separator. The module
docstring already documented this intent (line 17-18) but the
implementation didn't enforce it.
Reported via Discord. Related to PR #6088 (which identified the same bug
but placed the fix in model_normalize.py instead of model_switch.py where
the actual mangling occurs).
The _call_llm() and direct OpenAI fallback paths in flush_memories() both
hardcoded timeout=30.0, ignoring the user-configurable value at
auxiliary.flush_memories.timeout in config.yaml.
Remove the explicit timeout from the auxiliary _call_llm() call so that
_get_task_timeout('flush_memories') reads from config. For the direct
OpenAI fallback, import and use _get_task_timeout() instead of the
hardcoded value.
Add two regression tests verifying both code paths respect the config.
Fixes#6154
Fixes#4647 — Signal replies duplicated when gateway streaming is enabled.
Root cause: stream_consumer.py did not handle the case where send() returns
success=True but no message_id (Signal behavior). Every stream delta produced
a separate send() call (7+ messages instead of 2), plus the gateway sent
another full duplicate since already_sent was never set.
Changes:
- stream_consumer.py: Add elif branch for success-without-message_id — enters
fallback mode (sets already_sent, disables editing, sends only continuation)
- signal.py send(): Extract timestamp from signal-cli RPC result as message_id
so stream consumer follows normal edit→fallback path
- signal.py: Add public stop_typing() delegating to _stop_typing_indicator()
so base adapter's _keep_typing finally block can clean up typing tasks
- gateway/run.py: Per-platform tool_progress_overrides (#6164) — lets users
set e.g. signal: off while keeping telegram: all
- hermes_cli/config.py: Add tool_progress_overrides to DEFAULT_CONFIG
Refs: #4647, #6164
- Docker env tests: verify _build_init_env_args() instead of per-execute
Popen flags (env forwarding is now init-time only)
- Docker: preserve explicit forward_env bypass of blocklist from main
- Daytona tests: adapt to SDK-native timeout, _ThreadedProcessHandle,
base.py interrupt handling, HERMES_STDIN_ heredoc prefix
- Modal tests: fix _load_module to include _ThreadedProcessHandle stub,
check ensurepip in _resolve_modal_image instead of __init__
- SSH tests: mock time.sleep on base module instead of removed ssh import
- Add missing BaseEnvironment attributes to __new__()-based test fixtures
Add configurable reply-reference behavior for Discord, matching the
existing Telegram (TELEGRAM_REPLY_TO_MODE) and Mattermost
(MATTERMOST_REPLY_MODE) implementations.
Modes:
- 'off': never reply-reference the original message
- 'first': reply-reference on first chunk only (default, current behavior)
- 'all': reply-reference on every chunk
Set DISCORD_REPLY_TO_MODE=off in .env to disable reply-to messages.
Changes:
- gateway/config.py: parse DISCORD_REPLY_TO_MODE env var
- gateway/platforms/discord.py: read reply_to_mode from config, respect
it in send() — skip fetch_message entirely when 'off'
- hermes_cli/config.py: add to OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS for hermes setup
- 23 tests covering config, send behavior, env var override
- docs: discord.md env var table + environment-variables.md reference
Closes community request from Stuart on Discord.
Fixes 9 test failures on current main, incorporating ideas from PR stack
#6219-#6222 by xinbenlv with corrections:
- model_metadata: sync HF context length key casing
(minimaxai/minimax-m2.5 → MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5)
- cli.py: route quick command error output through self.console
instead of creating a new ChatConsole() instance
- docker.py: explicit docker_forward_env entries now bypass the
Hermes secret blocklist (intentional opt-in wins over generic filter)
- auxiliary_client: revert _read_main_provider() to simple
provider.strip().lower() — the _normalize_aux_provider() call
introduced in 5c03f2e7 stripped the custom: prefix, breaking
named custom provider resolution
- auxiliary_client: flip vision auto-detection order to
active provider → OpenRouter → Nous → stop (was OR → Nous → active)
- test: update vision priority test to match new order

mistralai v2.x is a namespace package — `Mistral` class lives at
`mistralai.client`, not at the top-level `mistralai` module. The
previous `from mistralai import Mistral` raises ImportError at runtime.
Update both production code and test fixture to use the correct path.
Based on #6079 by @tunamitom with critical fixes and comprehensive tests.
Changes from #6079:
- Fix: sanitization overwrite bug — Qwen message prep now runs AFTER codex
field sanitization, not before (was silently discarding Qwen transforms)
- Fix: missing try/except AuthError in runtime_provider.py — stale Qwen
credentials now fall through to next provider on auto-detect
- Fix: 'qwen' alias conflict — bare 'qwen' stays mapped to 'alibaba'
(DashScope); use 'qwen-portal' or 'qwen-cli' for the OAuth provider
- Fix: hardcoded ['coder-model'] replaced with live API fetch + curated
fallback list (qwen3-coder-plus, qwen3-coder)
- Fix: extract _is_qwen_portal() helper + _qwen_portal_headers() to replace
5 inline 'portal.qwen.ai' string checks and share headers between init
and credential swap
- Fix: add Qwen branch to _apply_client_headers_for_base_url for mid-session
credential swaps
- Fix: remove suspicious TypeError catch blocks around _prompt_provider_choice
- Fix: handle bare string items in content lists (were silently dropped)
- Fix: remove redundant dict() copies after deepcopy in message prep
- Revert: unrelated ai-gateway test mock removal and model_switch.py comment deletion
New tests (30 test functions):
- _qwen_cli_auth_path, _read_qwen_cli_tokens (success + 3 error paths)
- _save_qwen_cli_tokens (roundtrip, parent creation, permissions)
- _qwen_access_token_is_expiring (5 edge cases: fresh, expired, within skew,
None, non-numeric)
- _refresh_qwen_cli_tokens (success, preserve old refresh, 4 error paths,
default expires_in, disk persistence)
- resolve_qwen_runtime_credentials (fresh, auto-refresh, force-refresh,
missing token, env override)
- get_qwen_auth_status (logged in, not logged in)
- Runtime provider resolution (direct, pool entry, alias)
- _build_api_kwargs (metadata, vl_high_resolution_images, message formatting,
max_tokens suppression)
* fix(tools): skip camofox auto-cleanup when managed persistence is enabled
When managed_persistence is enabled, cleanup_browser() was calling
camofox_close() which destroys the server-side browser context via
DELETE /sessions/{userId}, killing login sessions across cron runs.
Add camofox_soft_cleanup() — a public wrapper that drops only the
in-memory session entry when managed persistence is on, returning True.
When persistence is off it returns False so the caller falls back to
the full camofox_close(). The inactivity reaper still handles idle
resource cleanup.
Also surface a logger.warning() when _managed_persistence_enabled()
fails to load config, replacing a silent except-and-return-False.
Salvaged from #6182 by el-analista (Eduardo Perea Fernandez).
Added public API wrapper to avoid cross-module private imports,
and test coverage for both persistence paths.

* fix(doctor): only check the active memory provider, not all providers unconditionally
hermes doctor had hardcoded Honcho Memory and Mem0 Memory sections that
always ran regardless of the user's memory.provider config setting. After
the swappable memory provider update (#4623), users with leftover Honcho
config but no active provider saw false 'broken' errors.
Replaced both sections with a single Memory Provider section that reads
memory.provider from config.yaml and only checks the configured provider.
Users with no external provider see a green 'Built-in memory active' check.

Problem: hermes -w sessions accumulated 37+ worktrees and 1200+ orphaned
branches because:
- _cleanup_worktree bailed on any dirty working tree, but agent sessions
almost always leave untracked files/artifacts behind
- _prune_stale_worktrees had the same dirty-check, so stale worktrees
survived indefinitely
- pr-* and hermes/* branches from PR review had zero cleanup mechanism
Changes:
- _cleanup_worktree: check for unpushed commits instead of dirty state.
Agent work lives in pushed commits/PRs — dirty working tree without
unpushed commits is just artifacts, safe to remove.
- _prune_stale_worktrees: three-tier age system:
- Under 24h: skip (session may be active)
- 24h-72h: remove if no unpushed commits
- Over 72h: force remove regardless
- New _prune_orphaned_branches: on each -w startup, deletes local
hermes/hermes-* and pr-* branches with no corresponding worktree.
Protects main, checked-out branch, and active worktree branches.
Tests: 42 pass (6 new covering unpushed-commit logic, force-prune
tier, and orphaned branch cleanup).
- Fire on_session_finalize and on_session_reset in gateway _handle_reset_command()
- Fire on_session_finalize during gateway stop() for each active agent
- Move CLI test from tests/ root to tests/cli/ (matches recent restructure)
- Add 5 gateway tests covering reset hooks, ordering, shutdown, and error handling
- Place on_session_reset after new session is guaranteed to exist (covers
the get_or_create_session fallback path)
Plugins can now subscribe to session boundary events via
ctx.register_hook('on_session_finalize', ...) and
ctx.register_hook('on_session_reset', ...).
on_session_finalize — fires during CLI exit (/quit, Ctrl-C) and
before /new or /reset, giving plugins a chance to flush or clean up.
on_session_reset — fires after a new session is created via
/new or /reset, so plugins can initialize per-session state.
Closes#5592
Anthropic signs thinking blocks against the full turn content. Any
upstream mutation (context compression, session truncation, orphan
stripping, message merging) invalidates the signature, causing HTTP 400
'Invalid signature in thinking block' — especially in long-lived
gateway sessions.
Strategy (following clawdbot/OpenClaw pattern):
1. Strip thinking/redacted_thinking from all assistant messages EXCEPT
the last one — preserves reasoning continuity on the current
tool-use chain while avoiding stale signature errors on older turns.
2. Downgrade unsigned thinking blocks to plain text — Anthropic can't
validate them, but the reasoning content is preserved.
3. Strip cache_control from thinking/redacted_thinking blocks to
prevent cache markers from interfering with signature validation.
4. Drop thinking blocks from the second message when merging
consecutive assistant messages (role alternation enforcement).
5. Error recovery: on HTTP 400 mentioning 'signature' and 'thinking',
strip all reasoning_details from the conversation and retry once.
This is the safety net for edge cases the proactive stripping
misses.
Addresses the issue reported in PR #6086 by @mingginwan while
preserving reasoning continuity (their PR stripped ALL thinking
blocks unconditionally).
Files changed:
- agent/anthropic_adapter.py: thinking block management in
convert_messages_to_anthropic (strip old turns, downgrade unsigned,
strip cache_control, merge-time strip)
- run_agent.py: one-shot signature error recovery in retry loop
- tests/test_anthropic_adapter.py: 10 new tests covering all cases
Gateway and cron had inconsistent reasoning_effort resolution:
- CLI: config.yaml only (correct)
- Gateway: config.yaml first, env var fallback
- Cron: env var first, config.yaml fallback
All three now read exclusively from agent.reasoning_effort in config.yaml.
Removed HERMES_REASONING_EFFORT env var support entirely — .env is for
secrets only, not behavioral config.
Previously crash recovery recreated detached sessions as if they were
fully managed, so polls and kills could lie about liveness and the
checkpoint could forget recovered jobs after the next restart.
This commit refreshes recovered host-backed sessions from real PID
state, keeps checkpoint data durable, and preserves notify watcher
metadata while treating sandbox-only PIDs as non-recoverable.
- Persist `pid_scope` in `tools/process_registry.py` and skip
recovering sandbox-backed entries without a host-visible PID handle
- Refresh detached sessions on access so `get`/`poll`/`wait` and active
session queries observe exited processes instead of hanging forever
- Allow recovered host PIDs to be terminated honestly and requeue
`notify_on_complete` watchers during checkpoint recovery
- Add regression tests for durable checkpoints, detached exit/kill
behavior, sandbox skip logic, and recovered notify watchers
- DEFAULT_RESULT_SIZE_CHARS: 50K -> 100K (match current _LARGE_RESULT_CHARS)
- DEFAULT_PREVIEW_SIZE_CHARS: 2K -> 1.5K (match current _LARGE_RESULT_PREVIEW_CHARS)
- Per-tool overrides all set to 100K (terminal, execute_code, search_files)
- Remove pre-read byte guard (no behavioral regression vs current main)
- Revert limit signature change to int=500 (match current default)
- Restore original read_file schema description
- Update test assertions to match 100K thresholds
Simplify the vision auto-detection chain from 5 backends (openrouter,
nous, codex, anthropic, custom) down to 3:
1. OpenRouter (known vision-capable default model)
2. Nous Portal (known vision-capable default model)
3. Active provider + model (whatever the user is running)
4. Stop
This is simpler and more predictable. The active provider step uses
resolve_provider_client() which handles all provider types including
named custom providers (from #5978).
Removed the complex preferred-provider promotion logic and API-level
fallback — the chain is short enough that it doesn't need them.
Based on PR #5376 by Mibay. Closes#5366.
_deliver_result() now returns Optional[str] — None on success, error
message on failure. All failure paths (unknown platform, platform
disabled, config load error, send failure, unresolvable target)
return descriptive error strings.
mark_job_run() gains delivery_error param, tracked as
last_delivery_error on the job — separate from agent execution errors.
A job where the agent succeeded but delivery failed shows
last_status='ok' + last_delivery_error='...'.
The cronjob list tool now surfaces last_delivery_error so agents and
users can see when cron outputs aren't arriving.
Inspired by PR #5863 (oxngon) — reimplemented with proper wiring.
Tests: 3 new mark_job_run tests + 6 new _deliver_result return tests.
Add button-based exec approval to the Feishu adapter, matching the
existing Discord, Telegram, and Slack implementations.
When the agent encounters a dangerous command, Feishu users now see
an interactive card with four buttons instead of text instructions:
- Allow Once (primary)
- Allow Session
- Always Allow
- Deny (danger)
Implementation:
- send_exec_approval() sends an interactive card via the Feishu
message API with buttons carrying hermes_action in their value dict
- _handle_card_action_event() intercepts approval button clicks
before routing them as synthetic commands, directly calling
resolve_gateway_approval() to unblock the agent thread
- _update_approval_card() replaces the orange approval card with a
green (approved) or red (denied) status card showing who acted
- _approval_state dict tracks pending approval_id → session_key
mappings; cleaned up on resolution
The gateway's existing routing in _approval_notify_sync already checks
getattr(type(adapter), 'send_exec_approval', None) and will
automatically use the button-based flow for Feishu.
Tests: 16 new tests covering send, callback resolution, state
management, card updates, and non-interference with existing card
actions.
Salvaged fixes from community PRs:
- fix(model_switch): _read_auth_store → _load_auth_store + fix auth store
key lookup (was checking top-level dict instead of store['providers']).
OAuth providers now correctly detected in /model picker.
Cherry-picked from PR #5911 by Xule Lin (linxule).
- fix(ollama): pass num_ctx to override 2048 default context window.
Ollama defaults to 2048 context regardless of model capabilities. Now
auto-detects from /api/show metadata and injects num_ctx into every
request. Config override via model.ollama_num_ctx. Fixes#2708.
Cherry-picked from PR #5929 by kshitij (kshitijk4poor).
- fix(aux): normalize provider aliases for vision/auxiliary routing.
Adds _normalize_aux_provider() with 17 aliases (google→gemini,
claude→anthropic, glm→zai, etc). Fixes vision routing failure when
provider is set to 'google' instead of 'gemini'.
Cherry-picked from PR #5793 by e11i (Elizabeth1979).
- fix(aux): rewrite MiniMax /anthropic base URLs to /v1 for OpenAI SDK.
MiniMax's inference_base_url ends in /anthropic (Anthropic Messages API),
but auxiliary client uses OpenAI SDK which appends /chat/completions →
404 at /anthropic/chat/completions. Generic _to_openai_base_url() helper
rewrites terminal /anthropic to /v1 for OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

Added debug logging to silent exception blocks across all fixes.

Currently, MCP servers are included on all platforms by default. If a
platform's toolset list does not explicitly name any MCP servers, every
globally enabled MCP server is injected. There is no way to opt a
platform out of MCP servers entirely.
This matters for the API server platform when used as an execution
backend — each spawned agent session gets the full MCP tool schema
injected into its system prompt, dramatically inflating token usage
(e.g. 57K tokens vs 9K without MCP tools) and slowing response times.
Add a "no_mcp" sentinel value for platform_toolsets. When present in a
platform's toolset list, all MCP servers are excluded for that platform.
Other platforms are unaffected.
Usage in config.yaml:
platform_toolsets:
api_server:
- terminal
- file
- web
- no_mcp # exclude all MCP servers
The sentinel is filtered out of the final toolset — it does not appear
as an actual toolset name.
- The MCP SDK Pydantic model uses camelCase (structuredContent), not
snake_case (structured_content). The original getattr was a silent no-op.
- When structuredContent is present, return it AS the result instead of
alongside text — the structured payload is the machine-readable data.
- Move test file to tests/tools/ and fix fake class to use camelCase.
- Patch _run_on_mcp_loop in tests so the handler actually executes.
* fix(telegram): replace substring caption check with exact line-by-line match
Captions in photo bursts and media group albums were silently dropped when
a shorter caption happened to be a substring of an existing one (e.g.
"Meeting" lost inside "Meeting agenda"). Extract a shared _merge_caption
static helper that splits on "\n\n" and uses exact match with whitespace
normalisation, then use it in both _enqueue_photo_event and
_queue_media_group_event.
Adds 13 unit tests covering the fixed bug scenarios.
Cherry-picked from PR #2671 by Dilee.
* fix: extend caption substring fix to all platforms
Move _merge_caption helper from TelegramAdapter to BasePlatformAdapter
so all adapters inherit it. Fix the same substring-containment bug in:
- gateway/platforms/base.py (photo burst merging)
- gateway/run.py (priority photo follow-up merging)
- gateway/platforms/feishu.py (media batch merging)
The original fix only covered telegram.py. The same bug existed in base.py
and run.py (pure substring check) and feishu.py (list membership without
whitespace normalization).
* fix(auxiliary): resolve named custom providers and 'main' alias in auxiliary routing
Two bugs caused auxiliary tasks (vision, compression, etc.) to fail when
using named custom providers defined in config.yaml:
1. 'provider: main' was hardcoded to 'custom', which only checks legacy
OPENAI_BASE_URL env vars. Now reads _read_main_provider() to resolve
to the actual provider (e.g., 'custom:beans', 'openrouter', 'deepseek').
2. Named custom provider names (e.g., 'beans') fell through to
PROVIDER_REGISTRY which doesn't know about config.yaml entries.
Now checks _get_named_custom_provider() before the registry fallback.
Fixes both resolve_provider_client() and _normalize_vision_provider()
so the fix covers all auxiliary tasks (vision, compression, web_extract,
session_search, etc.).
Adds 13 unit tests. Reported by Laura via Discord.

* fix(cli): route error messages through ChatConsole inside patch_stdout
Cherry-pick of PR #5798 by @icn5381.
Replace self.console.print() with ChatConsole().print() for 11 error/status
messages reachable during the interactive session. Inside patch_stdout,
self.console (plain Rich Console) writes raw ANSI escapes that StdoutProxy
mangles into garbled text. ChatConsole uses prompt_toolkit's native
print_formatted_text which renders correctly.
Same class of bug as #2262 — that fix covered agent output but missed
these error paths in _ensure_runtime_credentials, _init_agent, quick
commands, skill loading, and plan mode.
* fix(model-picker): add scrolling viewport to curses provider menu
Cherry-pick of PR #5790 by @Lempkey. Fixes#5755.
_curses_prompt_choice rendered items starting unconditionally from index 0
with no scroll offset. The 'More providers' submenu has 13 entries. On
terminals shorter than ~16 rows, items past the fold were never drawn.
When UP-arrow wrapped cursor from 0 to the last item (Cancel, index 12),
the highlight rendered off-screen — appearing as if only Cancel existed.
Adds scroll_offset tracking that adjusts each frame to keep the cursor
inside the visible window.
* feat(cli): skin-aware compact banner + git state in startup banner
Combined salvage of PR #5922 by @ASRagab and PR #5877 by @xinbenlv.
Compact banner changes (from #5922):
- Read active skin colors and branding instead of hardcoding gold/NOUS HERMES
- Default skin preserves backward-compatible legacy branding
- Non-default skins use their own agent_name and colors
Git state in banner (from #5877):
- New format_banner_version_label() shows upstream/local git hashes
- Full banner title now includes git state (upstream hash, carried commits)
- Compact banner line2 shows the version label with git state
- Widen compact banner max width from 64 to 88 to fit version info
Both the full Rich banner and compact fallback are now skin-aware
and show git state.
- Add 7 unit tests for _profile_arg: default home, named profile,
hash path, nested path, invalid name, systemd integration, launchd integration
- Add stt.local.language to config.yaml (empty = auto-detect)
- Both STT code paths now read config.yaml first, env var fallback,
then default (auto-detect for faster-whisper, 'en' for CLI command)
- HERMES_LOCAL_STT_LANGUAGE env var still works as backward-compat fallback
Follow-up to sroecker's PR #5918 — test mocks were using the old 3-arg
callback signature (name, preview, args) instead of the new
(event_type, name, preview, args, **kwargs).
The response validation stage unconditionally marked Codex Responses API
replies as invalid when response.output was empty, triggering unnecessary
retries and fallback chains. However, _normalize_codex_response can
recover from this state by synthesizing output from response.output_text.
Now the validation stage checks for output_text before marking the
response invalid, matching the normalization logic. Also fixes
logging.warning → logger.warning for consistency with the rest of the
file.

The webhook adapter stored per-request `deliver`/`deliver_extra` config in
`_delivery_info[chat_id]` during POST handling and consumed it via `.pop()`
inside `send()`. That worked for routes whose agent run produced exactly
one outbound message — the final response — but it broke whenever the
agent emitted any interim status message before the final response.
Status messages flow through the same `send(chat_id, ...)` path as the
final response (see `gateway/run.py::_status_callback_sync` →
`adapter.send(...)`). Common triggers include:
- "🔄 Primary model failed — switching to fallback: ..."
(run_agent.py::_emit_status when `fallback_providers` activates)
- context-pressure / compression notices
- any other lifecycle event routed through `status_callback`
When any of those fired, the first `send()` call popped the entry, so the
subsequent final-response `send()` saw an empty dict and silently
downgraded `deliver_type` from `"telegram"` (or `discord`/`slack`/etc.) to
the default `"log"`. The agent's response was logged to the gateway log
instead of being delivered to the configured cross-platform target — no
warning, no error, just a missing message.
This was easy to hit in practice. Any user with `fallback_providers`
configured saw it the first time their primary provider hiccuped on a
webhook-triggered run. Routes that worked perfectly in dev (where the
primary stays healthy) silently dropped responses in prod.
Fix: read `_delivery_info` with `.get()` so multiple `send()` calls for
the same `chat_id` all see the same delivery config. To keep the dict
bounded without relying on per-send cleanup, add a parallel
`_delivery_info_created` timestamp dict and a `_prune_delivery_info()`
helper that drops entries older than `_idempotency_ttl` (1h, same window
already used by `_seen_deliveries`). Pruning runs on each POST, mirroring
the existing `_seen_deliveries` cleanup pattern.
Worst-case memory footprint is now `rate_limit * TTL = 30/min * 60min =
1800` entries, each ~1KB → under 2 MB. In practice it'll be far smaller
because most webhooks complete in seconds, not the full hour.
Test changes:
- `test_delivery_info_cleaned_after_send` is replaced with
`test_delivery_info_survives_multiple_sends`, which is now the
regression test for this bug — it asserts that two consecutive
`send()` calls both see the delivery config.
- A new `test_delivery_info_pruned_via_ttl` covers the TTL cleanup
behavior.
- The two integration tests that asserted `chat_id not in
adapter._delivery_info` after `send()` now assert the opposite, with
a comment explaining why.
All 40 tests in `tests/gateway/test_webhook_adapter.py` and
`tests/gateway/test_webhook_integration.py` pass. Verified end-to-end
locally against a dynamic `hermes webhook subscribe` route configured
with `--deliver telegram --deliver-chat-id <user>`: with `gpt-5.4` as
the primary (currently flaky) and `claude-opus-4.6` as the fallback,
the fallback notification fires, the agent finishes, and the final
response is delivered to Telegram as expected.
* refactor: re-architect tests to mirror the codebase
* Update tests.yml
* fix: add missing tool_error imports after registry refactor
* fix(tests): replace patch.dict with monkeypatch to prevent env var leaks under xdist
patch.dict(os.environ) can leak TERMINAL_ENV across xdist workers,
causing test_code_execution tests to hit the Modal remote path.
* fix(tests): fix update_check and telegram xdist failures
- test_update_check: replace patch("hermes_cli.banner.os.getenv") with
monkeypatch.setenv("HERMES_HOME") — banner.py no longer imports os
directly, it uses get_hermes_home() from hermes_constants.
- test_telegram_conflict/approval_buttons: provide real exception classes
for telegram.error mock (NetworkError, TimedOut, BadRequest) so the
except clause in connect() doesn't fail with "catching classes that do
not inherit from BaseException" when xdist pollutes sys.modules.
* fix(tests): accept unavailable_models kwarg in _prompt_model_selection mock
Previously, all/new tool progress modes always hard-truncated previews
to 40 chars, ignoring the display.tool_preview_length config. This made
it impossible for gateway users to see meaningful command/path info
without switching to verbose mode (which shows too much detail).
Now all/new modes read tool_preview_length from config:
- tool_preview_length: 0 (default/unset) → 40 chars (no regression)
- tool_preview_length: 120 → 120-char previews in all/new mode
- verbose mode: unchanged (already respected the config)
Users who want longer previews can set:
display:
tool_preview_length: 120

Based on PR #5413 spec by MaheshtheDev (Mahesh Sanikommu).
Changes:
- Add search_mode config (hybrid/memories/documents) passed to SDK
- Add {identity} template support in container_tag for profile-scoped containers
- Add SUPERMEMORY_CONTAINER_TAG env var override (priority over config)
- Add multi-container mode: enable_custom_container_tags, custom_containers,
custom_container_instructions in supermemory.json
- Dynamic tool schemas when multi-container enabled (optional container_tag param)
- Whitelist validation for custom container tags in tool calls
- Simplify get_config_schema() to only prompt for API key during setup
- Defer container_tag sanitization to initialize() (after template resolution)
- Add custom_id support to documents.add calls
- Update README with multi-container docs, search_mode, identity template,
support links (Discord, email)
- Update memory-providers.md with new features and multi-container example
- Update memory-provider-plugin.md with minimal vs full schema guidance
- Add 12 new tests covering identity template, search_mode, multi-container,
config schema, and env var override
When the model produces structured reasoning (via API fields like .reasoning,
.reasoning_content, .reasoning_details) but no visible text content, append
the assistant message as prefill and continue the loop. The model sees its own
reasoning context on the next turn and produces the text portion.
Inspired by clawdbot's 'incomplete-text' recovery pattern. Up to 2 prefill
attempts before falling through to the existing '(empty)' terminal.
Key design decisions:
- Only triggers for structured reasoning (API fields), NOT inline <think> tags
- Prefill messages are popped on success to maintain strict role alternation
- _thinking_prefill marker stripped from all API message building paths
- Works across all providers: OpenAI (continuation), Anthropic (native prefill)
Verified with E2E tests: simulated thinking-only → real OpenRouter continuation
produces correct content. Also confirmed Qwen models consistently produce
structured-reasoning-only responses under token pressure.
Add win32 platform branch to clipboard.py so Ctrl+V image paste
works on native Windows (PowerShell / Windows Terminal), not just
WSL2.
Uses the same .NET System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard approach as the
WSL path but calls PowerShell directly instead of powershell.exe
(the WSL cross-call path). Tries 'powershell' first (Windows
PowerShell 5.1, always available), then 'pwsh' (PowerShell 7+).
PowerShell executable is discovered once and cached for the process
lifetime.
Includes 14 new tests covering:
- Platform dispatch (save_clipboard_image + has_clipboard_image)
- Image detection via PowerShell .NET check
- Base64 PNG extraction and decode
- Edge cases: no PowerShell, empty output, invalid base64, timeout
Adapted from PR #5679 (0xbyt4) to cover edge cases not in the integration tests:
video routing, unknown extension fallback to send_document, multi-file delivery,
and single-failure isolation.
The cron delivery path sent raw 'MEDIA:/path/to/file' text instead
of uploading the file as a native attachment. The standalone path
(via _send_to_platform) already extracted MEDIA tags and forwarded
them as media_files, but the live adapter path passed the unprocessed
delivery_content directly to adapter.send().
Two bugs fixed:
1. Live adapter path now sends cleaned text (MEDIA tags stripped)
instead of raw content — prevents 'MEDIA:/path' from appearing
as literal text in Discord/Telegram/etc.
2. Live adapter path now sends each extracted media file via the
adapter's native method (send_voice for audio, send_image_file
for images, send_video for video, send_document as fallback) —
files are uploaded as proper platform attachments.
The file-type routing mirrors BasePlatformAdapter._process_message_background
to ensure consistent behavior between normal gateway responses and
cron-delivered responses.
Adds 2 tests:
- test_live_adapter_sends_media_as_attachments: verifies Discord
adapter receives send_voice call for .mp3 file
- test_live_adapter_sends_cleaned_text_not_raw: verifies MEDIA tag
stripped from text sent via live adapter
Memory plugins (Mem0, Honcho) used static identifiers ('hermes-user',
config peerName) meaning all gateway users shared the same memory bucket.
Changes:
- AIAgent.__init__: add user_id parameter, store as self._user_id
- run_agent.py: include user_id in _init_kwargs passed to memory providers
- gateway/run.py: pass source.user_id to AIAgent in primary + background paths
- Mem0 plugin: prefer kwargs user_id over config default
- Honcho plugin: override cfg.peer_name with gateway user_id when present
CLI sessions (user_id=None) preserve existing defaults. Only gateway
sessions with a real platform user_id get per-user memory scoping.

When the bot sends a message in a thread, track its ts in _bot_message_ts.
When the bot is @mentioned in a thread, register it in _mentioned_threads.
Both sets enable auto-responding to future messages in those threads
without requiring repeated @mentions — making the bot behave like a
team member that stays engaged once a conversation starts.
Channel message gating now checks 4 signals (in order):
1. @mention in this message
2. Reply in a thread the bot started/participated in (_bot_message_ts)
3. Message in a thread where the bot was previously @mentioned (_mentioned_threads)
4. Existing session for this thread (_has_active_session_for_thread — survives restarts)
Thread context fetching now triggers on ANY first-entry path (not just
@mention), so the agent gets context whether it's entering via a mention,
a bot-thread reply, or a mentioned-thread auto-trigger.
Both tracking sets are bounded (5000 cap with prune-oldest-half) to prevent
unbounded memory growth in long-running deployments.
Salvaged from PR #5754 by @hhhonzik. Preserves our existing approval buttons,
thread context fetching, and session key fix. Does NOT include the
edit_message format_message() removal (that was a regression in the original PR).
Tests: 4 new tests for bot-ts tracking and mentioned-thread bounds.
Slack:
- Add Block Kit interactive buttons for command approval (Allow Once,
Allow Session, Always Allow, Deny) via send_exec_approval()
- Register @app.action handlers for each approval button
- Add _fetch_thread_context() — fetches thread history via
conversations.replies when bot is first @mentioned mid-thread
- Fix _has_active_session_for_thread() to use build_session_key()
instead of manual key construction (fixes session key mismatch bug
where thread_sessions_per_user flag was ignored, ref PR #5833)
Telegram:
- Add InlineKeyboard approval buttons via send_exec_approval()
- Add ea:* callback handling in _handle_callback_query()
- Uses monotonic counter + _approval_state dict to map button clicks
back to session keys (avoids 64-byte callback_data limit)
Both platforms now auto-detected by the gateway runner's
_approval_notify_sync() — any adapter with send_exec_approval() on
its class gets button-based approval instead of text fallback.
Inspired by community PRs #3898 (LevSky22), #2953 (ygd58), #5833
(heathley). Implemented fresh on current main.
Tests: 24 new tests covering button rendering, action handling,
thread context fetching, session key fix, double-click prevention.
* fix: repair 57 failing CI tests across 14 files
Categories of fixes:
**Test isolation under xdist (-n auto):**
- test_hermes_logging: Strip ALL RotatingFileHandlers before each test
to prevent handlers leaked from other xdist workers from polluting counts
- test_code_execution: Force TERMINAL_ENV=local in setUp — prevents Modal
AuthError when another test leaks TERMINAL_ENV=modal
- test_timezone: Same TERMINAL_ENV fix for execute_code timezone tests
- test_codex_execution_paths: Mock _resolve_turn_agent_config to ensure
model resolution works regardless of xdist worker state
**Matrix adapter tests (nio not installed in CI):**
- Add _make_fake_nio() helper with real response classes for isinstance()
checks in production code
- Replace MagicMock(spec=nio.XxxResponse) with fake_nio instances
- Wrap production method calls with patch.dict('sys.modules', {'nio': ...})
so import nio succeeds in method bodies
- Use try/except instead of pytest.importorskip for nio.crypto imports
(importorskip can be fooled by MagicMock in sys.modules)
- test_matrix_voice: Skip entire file if nio is a mock, not just missing
**Stale test expectations:**
- test_cli_provider_resolution: _prompt_provider_choice now takes **kwargs
(default param added); mock getpass.getpass alongside input
- test_anthropic_oauth_flow: Mock getpass.getpass (code switched from input)
- test_gemini_provider: Mock models.dev + OpenRouter API lookups to test
hardcoded defaults without external API variance
- test_code_execution: Add notify_on_complete to blocked terminal params
- test_setup_openclaw_migration: Mock prompt_choice to select 'Full setup'
(new quick-setup path leads to _require_tty → sys.exit in CI)
- test_skill_manager_tool: Patch get_all_skills_dirs alongside SKILLS_DIR
so _find_skill searches tmp_path, not real ~/.hermes/skills/
**Missing attributes in object.__new__ test runners:**
- test_platform_reconnect: Add session_store to _make_runner()
- test_session_race_guard: Add hooks, _running_agents_ts, session_store,
delivery_router to _make_runner()
**Production bug fix (gateway/run.py):**
- Fix sentinel eviction race: _AGENT_PENDING_SENTINEL was immediately
evicted by the stale-detection logic because sentinels have no
get_activity_summary() method, causing _stale_idle=inf >= timeout.
Guard _should_evict with 'is not _AGENT_PENDING_SENTINEL'.
* fix: address remaining CI failures
- test_setup_openclaw_migration: Also mock _offer_launch_chat (called at
end of both quick and full setup paths)
- test_code_execution: Move TERMINAL_ENV=local to module level to protect
ALL test classes (TestEnvVarFiltering, TestExecuteCodeEdgeCases,
TestInterruptHandling, TestHeadTailTruncation) from xdist env leaks
- test_matrix: Use try/except for nio.crypto imports (importorskip can be
fooled by MagicMock in sys.modules under xdist)
check_nous_free_tier() now caches its result for 180 seconds to avoid
redundant Portal API calls during a session (auxiliary client init,
model selection, login flow all call it independently).
The TTL is short enough that an account upgrade from free to paid is
reflected within 3 minutes. clear_nous_free_tier_cache() is exposed
for explicit invalidation on login/logout.
Adds 4 tests for cache hit, TTL expiry, explicit clear, and TTL bound.
- Show pricing during initial Nous Portal login (was missing from
_login_nous, only shown in the already-logged-in hermes model path)
- Filter free models for paid subscribers: non-allowlisted free models
are hidden; allowlisted models (xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro, xiaomi/mimo-v2-omni)
only appear when actually priced as free
- Detect free-tier accounts via portal api/oauth/account endpoint
(monthly_charge == 0); free-tier users see only free models as
selectable, with paid models shown dimmed and unselectable
- Use xiaomi/mimo-v2-omni as the auxiliary vision model for free-tier
Nous users so vision_analyze and browser_vision work without paid
model access (replaces the default google/gemini-3-flash-preview)
- Unavailable models rendered via print() before TerminalMenu to avoid
simple_term_menu line-width padding artifacts; upgrade URL resolved
from auth state portal_base_url (supports staging/custom portals)
- Add 21 tests covering filter_nous_free_models, is_nous_free_tier,
and partition_nous_models_by_tier
* feat: switch managed browser provider from Browserbase to Browser Use
The Nous subscription tool gateway now routes browser automation through
Browser Use instead of Browserbase. This commit:
- Adds managed Nous gateway support to BrowserUseProvider (idempotency
keys, X-BB-API-Key auth header, external_call_id persistence)
- Removes managed gateway support from BrowserbaseProvider (now
direct-only via BROWSERBASE_API_KEY/BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID)
- Updates browser_tool.py fallback: prefers Browser Use over Browserbase
- Updates nous_subscription.py: gateway vendor 'browser-use', auto-config
sets cloud_provider='browser-use' for new subscribers
- Updates tools_config.py: Nous Subscription entry now uses Browser Use
- Updates setup.py, cli.py, status.py, prompt_builder.py display strings
- Updates all affected tests to match new behavior
Browserbase remains fully functional for users with direct API credentials.
The change only affects the managed/subscription path.
* chore: remove redundant Browser Use hint from system prompt
* fix: upgrade Browser Use provider to v3 API
- Base URL: api/v2 -> api/v3 (v2 is legacy)
- Unified all endpoints to use native Browser Use paths:
- POST /browsers (create session, returns cdpUrl)
- PATCH /browsers/{id} with {action: stop} (close session)
- Removed managed-mode branching that used Browserbase-style
/v1/sessions paths — v3 gateway now supports /browsers directly
- Removed unused managed_mode variable in close_session
* fix(browser-use): use X-Browser-Use-API-Key header for managed mode
The managed gateway expects X-Browser-Use-API-Key, not X-BB-API-Key
(which is a Browserbase-specific header). Using the wrong header caused
a 401 AUTH_ERROR on every managed-mode browser session create.
Simplified _headers() to always use X-Browser-Use-API-Key regardless
of direct vs managed mode.
* fix(nous_subscription): browserbase explicit provider is direct-only
Since managed Nous gateway now routes through Browser Use, the
browserbase explicit provider path should not check managed_browser_available
(which resolves against the browser-use gateway). Simplified to direct-only
with managed=False.
* fix(browser-use): port missing improvements from PR #5605
- CDP URL normalization: resolve HTTP discovery URLs to websocket after
cloud provider create_session() (prevents agent-browser failures)
- Managed session payload: send timeout=5 and proxyCountryCode=us for
gateway-backed sessions (prevents billing overruns)
- Update prompt builder, browser_close schema, and module docstring to
replace remaining Browserbase references with Browser Use
- Dynamic /browser status detection via _get_cloud_provider() instead
of hardcoded env var checks (future-proof for new providers)
- Rename post_setup key from 'browserbase' to 'agent_browser'
- Update setup hint to mention Browser Use alongside Browserbase
- Add tests: CDP normalization, browserbase direct-only guard,

* refactor: remove browser_close tool — auto-cleanup handles it
The browser_close tool was called in only 9% of browser sessions (13/144
navigations across 66 sessions), always redundantly — cleanup_browser()
already runs via _cleanup_task_resources() at conversation end, and the
background inactivity reaper catches anything else.
Removing it saves one tool schema slot in every browser-enabled API call.
Also fixes a latent bug: cleanup_browser() now handles Camofox sessions
too (previously only Browserbase). Camofox sessions were never auto-cleaned
per-task because they live in a separate dict from _active_sessions.
Files changed (13):
- tools/browser_tool.py: remove function, schema, registry entry; add
camofox cleanup to cleanup_browser()
- toolsets.py, model_tools.py, prompt_builder.py, display.py,
acp_adapter/tools.py: remove browser_close from all tool lists
- tests/: remove browser_close test, update toolset assertion
- docs/skills: remove all browser_close references
* fix: repeat browser_scroll 5x per call for meaningful page movement
Most backends scroll ~100px per call — barely visible on a typical
viewport. Repeating 5x gives ~500px (~half a viewport), making each
scroll tool call actually useful.
Backend-agnostic approach: works across all 7+ browser backends without
needing to configure each one's scroll amount individually. Breaks
early on error for the agent-browser path.
* feat: auto-return compact snapshot from browser_navigate
Every browser session starts with navigate → snapshot. Now navigate
returns the compact accessibility tree snapshot inline, saving one
tool call per browser task.
The snapshot captures the full page DOM (not viewport-limited), so
scroll position doesn't affect it. browser_snapshot remains available
for refreshing after interactions or getting full=true content.
Both Browserbase and Camofox paths auto-snapshot. If the snapshot
fails for any reason, navigation still succeeds — the snapshot is
a bonus, not a requirement.
Schema descriptions updated to guide models: navigate mentions it
returns a snapshot, snapshot mentions it's for refresh/full content.
* refactor: slim cronjob tool schema — consolidate model/provider, drop unused params
Session data (151 calls across 67 sessions) showed several schema
properties were never used by models. Consolidated and cleaned up:
Removed from schema (still work via backend/CLI):
- skill (singular): use skills array instead
- reason: pause-only, unnecessary
- include_disabled: now defaults to true
- base_url: extreme edge case, zero usage
- provider (standalone): merged into model object
Consolidated:
- model + provider → single 'model' object with {model, provider} fields.
If provider is omitted, the current main provider is pinned at creation
time so the job stays stable even if the user changes their default.
Kept:
- script: useful data collection feature
- skills array: standard interface for skill loading
Schema shrinks from 14 to 10 properties. All backend functionality
preserved — the Python function signature and handler lambda still
accept every parameter.
* fix: remove mixture_of_agents from core toolsets — opt-in only via hermes tools
MoA was in _HERMES_CORE_TOOLS and composite toolsets (hermes-cli,
hermes-messaging, safe), which meant it appeared in every session
for anyone with OPENROUTER_API_KEY set. The _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS
gate only works after running 'hermes tools' explicitly.
Now MoA only appears when a user explicitly enables it via
'hermes tools'. The moa toolset definition and check_fn remain
unchanged — it just needs to be opted into.
