Return CLI-style browser connect status messages from the gateway and render them in the TUI so local Chrome launch attempts are visible instead of ending in a silent delayed failure.
Detect an actual Chrome/Chromium executable before printing a manual CDP launch command, including common WSL-mounted Windows browser paths, so /browser connect does not suggest google-chrome when it is unavailable.
Share Chrome CDP launch helpers between the classic CLI and TUI so default /browser connect uses loopback consistently, retries local Chrome launch, and reports a copyable manual-start command instead of claiming a dead connection.
The background skill-review prompts (_SKILL_REVIEW_PROMPT and the **Skills**
half of _COMBINED_REVIEW_PROMPT) steered the reviewer toward passive
behavior — most passes concluded 'Nothing to save.' even when the session
produced real lessons. User-preference corrections (style, format,
legibility, verbosity) were especially lost: they were read as memory
signals only, so skills never carried the fix.
This rewrite changes the stance:
- **Active-update bias.** The reviewer now treats inaction as a missed
learning opportunity. 'Nothing to save.' remains an explicit escape
but is no longer framed as the most-common outcome.
- **User-preference corrections are first-class skill signals.** Style,
tone, format, legibility, verbosity complaints — and the actual
phrasings users use ('stop doing X', 'this is too verbose', 'I hate
when you Y', 'remember this') — now warrant patching the skill that
governs the task, not just writing to memory.
- **Loaded-skill-first preference order.** When a skill was loaded via
/skill-name or skill_view during the session, the reviewer patches
THAT one first. It was in play; it's the right place.
- **Four-step ladder: patch-loaded → patch-umbrella → support-file →
create.** Support files are explicitly enumerated as three kinds:
* references/<topic>.md — session-specific detail OR condensed
knowledge banks (quoted research, API docs excerpts, domain notes)
* templates/<name>.<ext> — starter files to copy and modify
* scripts/<name>.<ext> — statically re-runnable actions
- **Name-veto for CREATE.** New skill names MUST be class-level — no PR
numbers, error strings, codenames, library-alone names, or session
artifacts ('fix-X / debug-Y / audit-Z-today'). If the proposed name
only fits today's task, fall back to one of the patch/support-file
options.
- **Memory scope clarified.** 'who the user is and what the current
situation and state of your operations are' — MEMORY.md is
situational/state, USER.md is identity/preferences.
- **Curator handoff.** Reviewer flags overlap; the background curator
handles consolidation at scale. Single-session reviewer doesn't
attempt umbrella-rebalancing.
Tests: tests/run_agent/test_review_prompt_class_first.py upgraded to
assert the new behavioral contracts (active bias, user-correction
signals, loaded-skill-first, support-file kinds, name-veto, memory
framing, curator handoff). 17 tests, all pass.

TUI session readiness was still laggy after the gateway-ready fixes. Profiling
session.create -> session.info showed the slow phase is background AIAgent
construction (~1.1s). A cProfile run of tui_gateway.server::_make_agent showed
model_tools/tool discovery importing tools.code_execution_tool, whose
module-level EXECUTE_CODE_SCHEMA calls _get_execution_mode(), which imported
cli.CLI_CONFIG.
That pulled the classic interactive CLI stack (prompt_toolkit/Rich and REPL
setup) into every agent startup path, including hermes --tui where it is not
used. Replace that with hermes_cli.config.read_raw_config(), which is cached and
reads only the raw code_execution section. Existing defaults still apply when
the key is absent.
Measurements on macOS Terminal.app:
- import run_agent: ~466ms -> ~347ms
- model_tools import: ~418ms -> ~272ms
- _make_agent: ~1452ms -> ~1239ms
- session.create -> session.info: ~1167ms -> ~999ms
- full hermes --tui ready p50: ~1655ms -> ~1537ms
Tests:
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/tools/test_code_execution_modes.py tests/tools/test_code_execution.py
Validate configured providers against both Hermes runtime provider ids and
catalog-normalized provider ids. This keeps providers like ai-gateway from
being rejected after catalog resolution maps them to models.dev ids.
Keep credential checks and vendor-slug warnings anchored to the runtime id
so doctor reports actionable provider names in follow-up diagnostics.
Two amplifying optimizations to per-turn overhead in the gateway:
1. get_tool_definitions() memoization (model_tools.py)
Keyed on (frozenset(enabled), frozenset(disabled),
registry._generation, config.yaml mtime+size). Only active when
quiet_mode=True (which is every hot-path caller — gateway,
AIAgent.__init__); quiet_mode=False keeps the existing print side
effects. Cached path returns a shallow-copy list sharing read-only
schema dicts.
Measured: 7.5 ms → 0.01 ms per call (~750× speedup). Gateway
constructs fresh AIAgent per message, so this saves ~7 ms/turn before
any LLM work.
2. check_fn() TTL cache (tools/registry.py)
check_fn callables like check_terminal_requirements probe external
state (Docker daemon, Modal SDK, playwright binary). For a long-lived
process, hitting them on every get_definitions() pass was pure waste
— external state changes on human timescales. 30 s TTL so env-var
flips (hermes tools enable X) propagate within a turn or two without
explicit invalidation.
Measured: first call 7.5ms → 1.6ms (check_fn probes now dominate);
subsequent calls ~0.01ms via the upstream memoization.
Invalidation surface:
- registry._generation bumps on register/deregister/register_toolset_alias,
invalidating the memoized definitions automatically.
- config.yaml mtime in the cache key captures user-visible config edits
affecting dynamic schemas (execute_code mode, discord allowlist).
- invalidate_check_fn_cache() exposed for explicit flushes (e.g. after
hermes tools enable/disable).
- tests/conftest.py autouse fixture clears both caches before every test
so env-var monkeypatches don't see stale results.
Also fixes a regression from PR #17046 that I missed:
- tools/web_tools.py — Firecrawl was removed from module scope by the
lazy import, breaking 8 tests that patch 'tools.web_tools.Firecrawl'.
Applied the same _FirecrawlProxy pattern used in auxiliary_client/
run_agent for OpenAI (module-level proxy that looks like the class
but imports the SDK on first call/isinstance; patch() replaces the
attribute as usual).
Verified:
- 49/49 tests/tools/test_web_tools_config.py pass (was 8 failing on main)
- 68/68 tests/tools/test_homeassistant_tool.py pass (was 1 failing in
the full suite due to check_fn TTL cross-test pollution; fixed by
the autouse fixture)
- 3887/3895 tests/tools/ (8 pre-existing fails: 2 delegate, 1 mcp
dynamic discovery, 5 mcp structured content — all confirmed on main)
- 2973/2976 tests/agent/ + tests/run_agent/ (3 pre-existing fails)
- 868/868 tests/run_agent/ (excluding test_run_agent.py which has
pre-existing suite-level issues)
- Live smoke: 2 turns + /model switch + tool calls, zero errors in
agent.log session window.

* fix(tui): honor documented mouse_tracking config key
The TUI runtime was reading display.tui_mouse while docs and user-facing
examples pointed users at display.mouse_tracking. That made persistent
mouse-disable config look like a no-op for users trying to restore native
terminal selection/copy behavior on Linux/SSH/tmux terminals.
Use display.mouse_tracking as the canonical key, keep display.tui_mouse as
a legacy fallback, and have /mouse write the documented key. Both gateway
config.get and client-side config sync now share the same precedence: the
canonical key wins, then the legacy key, then default on.
* review(copilot): align mouse tracking config coercion
- Load gateway config once before deriving display.mouse_tracking state.
- Use key-presence precedence on the TUI client too, so canonical
mouse_tracking wins over legacy tui_mouse even when the value is null.
- Treat numeric 0 as disabled on both gateway and client, matching the
existing string "0" handling.
- Widen ConfigDisplayConfig mouse fields because config.get full returns raw
YAML, not normalized booleans.
This PR groups the TUI fixes that restore macOS Terminal usability and clean up the theme/composer regressions:
- copy transcript selections on macOS drag-release so Terminal.app users can copy while mouse tracking is enabled
- copy composer selections on macOS drag-release; composer selection is internal to TextInput and does not use the global Ink selection bus
- keep IDE Cmd+C forwarding setup macOS-only, and make keybinding conflict checks respect simple when-clause overlap/negation
- force truecolor before chalk initializes (unless NO_COLOR / FORCE_COLOR / HERMES_TUI_TRUECOLOR opt-outs apply) so the default banner keeps its gold/amber/bronze gradient in Terminal.app
- move TUI surfaces onto semantic theme tokens and preserve skin prompt symbols as bare tokens with renderer-owned spacing
- render focused placeholders as dim hint text in TTY mode instead of inverse/selected-looking synthetic cursor text
* feat(tui): pluggable busy-indicator styles (kaomoji/emoji/unicode/ascii)
The status-bar `FaceTicker` rotated through wide-and-variable kaomoji
glyphs (`(｡•́︿•̀｡)`, `( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)`, …) every 2.5s. Real display widths range
from ~5 to ~16 columns, so the rest of the bar (cwd, ctx %, voice,
bg counter) shifted on every cycle. Padding the verb alone (#17116)
helped but didn't address the dominant jitter source — the glyph
itself.
Add four indicator styles, configurable + hot-swappable:
* `kaomoji` (default — preserves the existing vibe; verb is now
pad-stable so the only width churn left is the kaomoji itself).
* `emoji` — single 2-col emoji frame (`⚕ 🌀🤔✨🍵🔮`).
* `unicode` — `unicode-animations` braille spinner (1-col, smooth).
* `ascii` — `| / - \` (1-col, max compat).
Wires:
* `display.tui_status_indicator` in `DEFAULT_CONFIG` (default
`kaomoji`).
* New JSON-RPC `config.set/get indicator` keys, narrow allow-list.
* `applyDisplay` reads the field and patches `UiState.indicatorStyle`,
so the existing `mtime` poll picks up `~/.hermes/config.yaml` edits
within ~5s without a TUI restart.
* `/indicator [style]` slash command (alias `/indicator-style`,
subcommand completion `kaomoji|emoji|unicode|ascii`). Bare form
shows the current style; setter fires `config.set` and
optimistically `patchUiState({ indicatorStyle })` so the live TUI
swaps immediately, matching the `/skin` UX.
* `CommandDef("indicator", ..., subcommands=...)` so classic CLI
autocomplete + TUI `complete.slash` both surface it.
* `FaceTicker` decouples spinner cadence from verb cadence — the
glyph runs at the spinner's authored interval (or `FACE_TICK_MS`
for kaomoji), the verb stays on the original 2.5s cycle, and both
re-arm cleanly when style changes.
Tests:
* `normalizeIndicatorStyle` rejects unknown / non-string input.
* `applyDisplay → tui_status_indicator` covers fan-out + fallback.
* `/indicator <style>` hot-swaps `UiState.indicatorStyle` after a
successful `config.set`.
* `/indicator sparkle` rejects with the usage hint and never hits
the gateway.
* Slash-parity matrix gets `'/indicator'` → `config.get`.
Validation:
cd ui-tui && npm run type-check — clean; npm test --run — 398/398.
scripts/run_tests.sh tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py
tests/hermes_cli/test_commands.py — 220/220.
* chore(tui): drop /indicator-style alias to declutter autocomplete
* fix(tui): drop verb-width pad — /indicator handles glyph jitter directly
* fix(tui): unicode indicator style hides the verb (cleanest option)
* refactor(tui): single source of truth for INDICATOR_STYLES; cleaner error format
Round 1 Copilot review on PR #17150:
- Exported `INDICATOR_STYLES` const tuple from `interfaces.ts`;
`IndicatorStyle` union type is derived from it. `useConfigSync`
builds its validation Set from the tuple, and `session.ts` uses it
for both the usage hint and the runtime allow-list — adding/removing
a style now touches one line.
- Backend `config.set indicator` error message: switched
`sorted(allowed)` list repr to `pick one of ascii|emoji|kaomoji|unicode`
(matches the TUI usage hint), and reports the normalized `raw`
instead of the original `value`. Backend allowed tuple now has a
comment pointing back at `INDICATOR_STYLES` so the two stay aligned.
Note: kept the verb portion unpadded per design intent — fixed-width
padding was the exact UX the `/indicator` command was added to remove.
Stable width comes from the glyph; verbs cycling is part of the kawaii
aesthetic. Reply on the verb thread will explain.
* fix(tui): drop type collapse + gate verb timer + DEFAULT_INDICATOR_STYLE
Round 2 Copilot review on PR #17150:
- `tui_status_indicator?: 'ascii' | ... | string` collapses to `string`
in TS — consumers got no narrowing. Documented as plain `string` with
a comment about runtime validation via `normalizeIndicatorStyle`.
- `FaceTicker` always started a 2.5s verb interval, even for the
`unicode` style which hides the verb entirely. Now gated on
`showVerb` from `renderIndicator` — `unicode` stays calm.
Pre-emptive self-review (avoid round 3):
- Three call sites duplicated the literal `'kaomoji'` default
(uiStore, normalizeIndicatorStyle, slash command). Added
`DEFAULT_INDICATOR_STYLE` to interfaces.ts and threaded it through
so changing the default touches one line.
* fix(tui-gateway): normalize config.get indicator output to match TUI render
Round 4 Copilot review on PR #17150: `config.get` for `indicator`
returned the raw `display.tui_status_indicator` value without
validation, so a hand-edited config.yaml with stray casing or an
unknown style would leave `/indicator` printing one thing while
the TUI rendered the kaomoji default (frontend's
`normalizeIndicatorStyle` does this normalization on receive).
Lifted the allow-list to module scope as `_INDICATOR_STYLES` /
`_INDICATOR_DEFAULT`, reused by both `config.set` and `config.get`.
Comment notes the alignment with `INDICATOR_STYLES` /
`DEFAULT_INDICATOR_STYLE` in interfaces.ts so adding/removing a
style is a one-line change on each end.
Tests cover: known value verbatim, casing/whitespace normalize,
unknown→default, unset→default.
* fix(tui-gateway): preserve falsy-input diagnostics in config.set indicator error
Round 5 Copilot review on PR #17150: `raw = str(value or "").strip().lower()`
collapsed any falsy non-string (`0`, `False`, `[]`) to empty string,
so the error message read `unknown indicator: ` with nothing after —
losing the original input.
Switched to `("" if value is None else str(value)).strip().lower()`
so only `None` (the genuine 'no value' case) becomes blank. Used
`{raw!r}` in the error so the diagnostic is unambiguous (`'0'` vs `0`).
Tests:
- known-value happy path (`'EMOJI'` → `'emoji'`)
- falsy non-string inputs (`0` / `False` / `[]`) surface meaningfully
- `None` keeps the blank-repr error
* fix(tui-gateway): harden stdio transport against half-closed pipes + SIGTERM races
`tui_gateway` reports `tui_gateway_crash.log` traces where the main
thread sits in `sys.stdin` while a worker holds `_stdout_lock` mid-
flush, and SIGTERM then calls `sys.exit(0)` while the lock is still
held — the interpreter shutdown stalls behind the wedged write.
Two narrowly scoped hardenings:
**`tui_gateway/transport.py`**
* Move JSON serialisation outside the lock — long messages no longer
block sibling writers while we serialise.
* Treat `BrokenPipeError`, `ValueError` ("I/O on closed file") and
generic `OSError` from both `write` and `flush` as "peer is gone":
return `False` instead of bubbling, matching what `write_json`'s
callers in `entry.py` already expect.
* Split `flush` into its own try block so a stuck flush never strands
a partial write or holds the lock indefinitely on its way out.
* Optional `HERMES_TUI_GATEWAY_NO_FLUSH=1` env knob to skip explicit
`flush()` entirely on environments where a half-closed read pipe
produces an indefinite kernel-level block. Default unchanged.
**`tui_gateway/entry.py`**
* `_log_signal` now spawns a 1-second daemon timer that calls
`os._exit(0)` if the orderly `sys.exit(0)` path is itself stuck
behind a wedged worker. Atexit handlers run inside the grace
window when they can; the timer is the safety net so a deadlocked
flush no longer strands the gateway process.
Tests:
* `test_write_json_closed_stream_returns_false` — ValueError path.
* `test_write_json_oserror_on_flush_returns_false` — OSError on flush
must not strand the lock; the write portion still landed before the
flush failure.
* `test_write_json_no_flush_env_skips_flush` — env knob bypass.
Validation: `scripts/run_tests.sh tests/tui_gateway/test_protocol.py`
(42/42 pass; one pre-existing failure on
`test_session_resume_returns_hydrated_messages` is unrelated to this
change — same `include_ancestors` mock kwarg issue tracked elsewhere).
`scripts/run_tests.sh tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py` 90/90 pass.
* review(copilot): tighten transport hardening comments + test cleanup
* review(copilot): narrow exception capture, configurable grace, simpler no-flush test
* fix(tui-gateway): narrow ValueError to closed-stream; surface UnicodeEncodeError
Copilot review on PR #17118: `UnicodeEncodeError` is a ValueError
subclass, so a non-UTF-8 stdout (mismatched PYTHONIOENCODING / locale)
would have been silently swallowed as 'peer gone' under
`except ValueError`. That hides a real environment bug.
Now:
- UnicodeEncodeError → log with exc_info (warning) and drop the frame
- ValueError where str(e) contains 'closed file' → peer gone, return False
- Any other ValueError → log loudly, drop frame (defensive, but visible)
Same shape applied to flush. Adds two regression tests.
* fix(tui-gateway): reserve write() False for peer-gone; re-raise programming errors
Round 2 Copilot review on PR #17118: `Transport.write()` returning
`False` is documented as 'peer is gone', and `entry.py` reacts by
calling `sys.exit(0)`. But the implementation also returned False
for non-IO conditions (non-JSON-safe payloads, UnicodeEncodeError,
unrelated ValueErrors), so a programming error or local env bug would
present as a clean disconnect — exactly the diagnosis pain we wanted
to eliminate.
Now:
- `json.dumps` failure → re-raises (TypeError/ValueError surfaces in crash log)
- `BrokenPipeError` → False (peer gone)
- `ValueError('...closed file...')` → False (peer gone)
- `UnicodeEncodeError` and any other ValueError → re-raise
- `OSError` → False (existing IO-failure semantics, debug-logged)
Tests updated to assert the re-raise behaviour and added a
non-serializable-payload regression test.
* fix(tui-gateway): narrow OSError to peer-gone errnos; honest test naming
Round 3 Copilot review on PR #17118:
- Docstring claimed False = peer gone, but generic OSError on write/flush
also returned False — meaning ENOSPC/EACCES/EIO would silently exit.
Added `_PEER_GONE_ERRNOS = {EPIPE, ECONNRESET, EBADF, ESHUTDOWN, +WSA}`
and narrowed the OSError handlers; non-peer-gone errnos re-raise.
Docstring now lists OSError as peer-gone branch with the errno set.
- The `_DISABLE_FLUSH` test was named after the env var but actually
patched the module constant. Renamed it to reflect the contract being
tested (skips flush when constant is true) AND added a real
end-to-end test that sets the env var, reloads transport.py, and
asserts the constant flips. Cleanup reload restores defaults so
parallel tests stay isolated.
Self-review (avoid round 4):
- Verified TeeTransport's secondary-swallow stays intentional.
- _log_signal grace path already covered by separate tests.
* fix(tui): make /browser connect actually take effect on the live agent
Reports were that `/browser connect <url>` (and "changes to CDP url
don't get picked up") didn't propagate to the live agent in `--tui`,
forcing users to fall back to setting `browser.cdp_url` in
`config.yaml` and restarting. Tracing the path on current main shows
the protocol wiring is already correct — `/browser` is registered in
`ui-tui/src/app/slash/commands/ops.ts` and dispatches `browser.manage`
through the gateway RPC, NOT the slash worker (covered by the
`browser.manage` row in `slashParity.test.ts`). But three real gaps
left the experience flaky:
1. `cleanup_all_browsers()` ran AFTER `os.environ["BROWSER_CDP_URL"]`
was rewritten. `_ensure_cdp_supervisor(...)` reads the env to
resolve its target URL, so a tool call landing in that brief window
could re-attach the supervisor to the OLD CDP endpoint just before
we reaped sessions, leaving the agent talking to a dead URL.
Reorder to clean first, swap env, clean again so the supervisor
for the default task is definitively closed.
2. `browser.manage status` reported only the env var, ignoring
`browser.cdp_url` from config.yaml. `_get_cdp_override()` (the
resolver the agent itself uses) consults both — match it so
`/browser status` answers the same question the next
`browser_navigate` will see. Closes a stealth bug where users
saw "browser not connected" while their CDP URL was perfectly
set in config.yaml.
3. `/browser disconnect` only cleared `BROWSER_CDP_URL` and reaped
once, leaving the same swap window as connect. Symmetrical
double-cleanup here too.
Frontend (`ops.ts`):
* Echo "next browser tool call will use this CDP endpoint" on success
so users see immediate confirmation that the gateway accepted the
swap, even before any tool runs.
* Mention `browser.cdp_url` in `config.yaml` in the usage hint and
the not-connected status line. Persistent config is the correct
fix for some terminal-multiplexer / sub-agent flows where env
inheritance is unreliable; surfacing it makes that workaround
discoverable.
Tests (4 new, all hermetic):
* `status` returns the resolved URL when only `browser.cdp_url` is
set in config.yaml.
* `connect` writes env AND cleans before/after, in that order.
* `connect` against an unreachable endpoint does NOT mutate env or
reap.
* `disconnect` removes env and cleans twice.
Validation:
scripts/run_tests.sh tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py — 94/94 pass.
cd ui-tui && npm run type-check — clean; npm test --run — 389/389.
* review(copilot): always defer to _get_cdp_override; normalize bare host:port
* review(copilot): collapse discovery-style CDP paths so /json/version isn't duplicated
* fix(tui): /browser status must not perform CDP discovery I/O
Copilot review on PR #17120: previous version routed through
`tools.browser_tool._get_cdp_override`, which calls
`_resolve_cdp_override` and performs an HTTP probe to /json/version
with a multi-second timeout for discovery-style URLs. That blocks
the TUI on `/browser status` whenever the configured host is slow
or unreachable.
Status now reads env-then-config directly with no network I/O. The
WS normalization still happens in `browser_navigate` for actual
tool calls, so behaviour-on-call is unchanged.
* fix(tui): skip /json/version probe for concrete ws://devtools/browser endpoints
Round 2 Copilot review on PR #17120: hosted CDP providers (Browserbase,
browserless, etc.) return concrete `ws[s]://.../devtools/browser/<id>`
URLs which are already directly connectable but don't serve the HTTP
discovery path. The previous `/json/version` probe rejected these
valid endpoints with 'could not reach browser CDP'.
For `ws[s]://...` URLs whose path starts with `/devtools/browser/` we
now do a TCP-level reachability check (`socket.create_connection`)
instead of the HTTP probe. The actual CDP handshake happens on the
next `browser_navigate` call, so we still surface unreachable hosts
as 5031 errors — just without the false negatives.
Discovery-style URLs (`http://host:port[/json[/version]]`) keep the
HTTP probe path unchanged. Updated existing test + added two new
ones (TCP-only success, TCP unreachable → 5031).
* feat(tui): opt-in auto-resume of the most recent session
`hermes --tui` always forges a fresh session at startup unless the user
sets `HERMES_TUI_RESUME=<id>`. Disconnects, terminal-window crashes,
and accidental Ctrl+D therefore lose every piece of in-flight context
even though `state.db` still has the full history a `/resume` away.
Add an opt-in path that mirrors classic CLI's `hermes -c` muscle
memory: when `display.tui_auto_resume_recent: true` is set in
`~/.hermes/config.yaml`, the TUI looks up the most recent human-facing
session and resumes it instead of starting fresh. Default off so
existing users aren't surprised; explicit `HERMES_TUI_RESUME` always
wins.
Wires:
* New `session.most_recent` JSON-RPC in `tui_gateway/server.py` that
returns the first non-`tool` row from `list_sessions_rich`, or
`{"session_id": null}` when none. Uses the same deny-list as
`session.list` so sub-agent rows can't sneak in.
* `createGatewayEventHandler.handleReady` re-ordered: explicit
`STARTUP_RESUME_ID` first (unchanged), then conditional auto-resume
via `config.get full → display.tui_auto_resume_recent`, then the
legacy `newSession()` fallback. Failures of either RPC fall back
to `newSession()` so the path is always finite.
* Default `display.tui_auto_resume_recent: False` added to
`DEFAULT_CONFIG` in `hermes_cli/config.py` (no `_config_version`
bump per AGENTS.md — deep-merge handles the additive key).
Tests:
* 4 new vitest cases in `createGatewayEventHandler.test.ts` cover
every gate-and-fallback combination (env wins, config off, config
on with hit, config on with miss).
* 3 new pytest cases for `session.most_recent` (denied row skip,
tool-only → null, db-unavailable → null).
Validation:
scripts/run_tests.sh tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py — 93/93.
cd ui-tui && npm run type-check — clean; npm test --run — 393/393.
* review(copilot): fold session.most_recent errors into null + extend ConfigDisplayConfig
* review(copilot): cover RPC-rejection fallbacks in auto-resume tests

Fixes#16271
Previously, check_browser_requirements() only checked for the agent-browser
CLI, not the Chromium binary it drives. When the CLI was present but
Chromium wasn't (common in Docker images predating the playwright install
step), the browser tool was advertised to the agent, every call hung for
the full command timeout (~30s each, ~220s for a chained navigate), and
the agent eventually gave up with no useful error — users saw 'browser
not working' with empty errors.log.
Changes:
- tools/browser_tool.py: add _chromium_installed() checking
PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH + default Playwright cache paths for
chromium-* / chromium_headless_shell-* dirs; wire into
check_browser_requirements() for local mode (cloud providers
unaffected). _run_browser_command fails fast with an actionable
Docker vs. host message instead of hanging. _running_in_docker()
checks /.dockerenv and /proc/1/cgroup.
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: post_setup for 'Local Browser' now runs
'agent-browser install --with-deps' after npm install to actually
download Chromium. In Docker, points user at the updated image pull
instead of trying to install into a read-only layer. Cloud-provider
post_setup (browserbase) skips Chromium install entirely.
- tests/tools/test_browser_chromium_check.py: new tests covering
search roots, install detection, requirements branches (local/cloud/
camofox), and the fast-fail guard in docker/non-docker contexts.
- tests/tools/test_browser_homebrew_paths.py: 5 existing subprocess-path

Auxiliary tasks (title_generation, vision, compression, web_extract,
session_search) now pick the correct wire protocol based on the
endpoint, not just on which resolve_provider_client branch built the
client. Fixes 404s on Kimi Coding Plan and any other named provider
whose endpoint speaks Anthropic Messages.
Root cause: the 'api_key' branch of resolve_provider_client (and the
Step 2 fallback chain inside _resolve_auto) always built a plain
OpenAI client regardless of what the endpoint actually spoke. For
provider=kimi-coding + model=kimi-for-coding, that meant:
POST https://api.kimi.com/coding/v1/chat/completions
{ "model": "kimi-for-coding", ... }
→ 404 resource_not_found_error
The /coding route only accepts the Anthropic Messages shape (the main
agent already uses api_mode=anthropic_messages for it). Earlier fixes
(#16819, #22ddac4b1) patched the anonymous-custom, named-custom, and
external-process branches — but the named api_key branch (kimi-coding,
minimax, zai, future /anthropic providers) was the fourth sibling and
never got the same treatment.
Fix: one module-level helper _maybe_wrap_anthropic() that rewraps a
plain OpenAI client in AnthropicAuxiliaryClient when:
- api_mode is explicitly 'anthropic_messages', OR
- the URL ends in '/anthropic', OR
- the host is api.kimi.com + path contains '/coding', OR
- the host is api.anthropic.com.
Wired into _wrap_if_needed (covers all resolve_provider_client
branches that already go through it) and into the Step 2 api_key
fallback chain inside _resolve_auto. Explicit api_mode still wins:
passing api_mode='chat_completions' forces OpenAI wire, and already-
wrapped specialized adapters (Codex, Gemini native, CopilotACP) pass
through unchanged.
E2E verified:
- resolve_provider_client('kimi-coding', 'kimi-for-coding')
→ AnthropicAuxiliaryClient (was plain OpenAI, which 404'd)
- _resolve_auto Step 1 for kimi-coding runtime → AnthropicAuxiliaryClient
- resolve_provider_client('openrouter', ...) → plain OpenAI (no regression)
- api_mode='chat_completions' override → plain OpenAI (explicit wins)
Tests:
- tests/agent/test_auxiliary_transport_autodetect.py (new): 21 tests
covering URL detection, wrap decisions, and integration.
- 204/205 existing auxiliary tests pass (1 pre-existing failure on
main, unrelated to this change).

Append a compact 'model · 68% · ~/projects/hermes' footer to the FINAL
message of each turn, disabled by default (display.runtime_footer.enabled).
Answers the Telegram-side parity ask: runtime context that the CLI status
bar already shows is now available in messaging replies when enabled.
Wiring:
- gateway/runtime_footer.py: resolve_footer_config + format_runtime_footer +
build_footer_line. Pure-function renderer; per-platform overrides under
display.platforms.<platform>.runtime_footer.
- gateway/run.py: appends footer to response right after reasoning prepend
so it lands only on the final message (never tool progress or streaming
chunks). When streaming already delivered the body (already_sent), the
footer is sent as a small trailing message instead.
- agent_result now exposes context_length alongside last_prompt_tokens so
the footer can compute the pct; both gateway return paths updated.
- /footer [on|off|status] slash command, wired in CLI (cli.py) and gateway
(gateway/run.py both running-agent bypass and main dispatch). Global
toggle only; per-platform overrides via config.yaml.
Graceful degradation:
- Missing context_length (unknown model) → pct field silently dropped
(no '?%' artifact).
- Empty final_response → no footer appended.
- Unknown field names in config → silently ignored.
Tests: 25-case unit suite (tests/gateway/test_runtime_footer.py) plus E2E
harness covering streaming vs non-streaming branches, per-platform override,
and the exact argument contract gateway/run.py uses.

The contributor's PR (#16750) scoped the fix to run_setup_wizard() and
explicitly punted the two sibling sites. Both have the identical
[ -e /dev/tty ] pattern followed by a < /dev/tty redirect and crash in
Docker the same way:
- scripts/install.sh:732 install_system_packages() -- apt sudo prompt
fallback. sudo ... < /dev/tty dies with the same ENXIO.
- scripts/install.sh:1395 maybe_start_gateway() -- gateway-install gate,
same function path as the wizard reproducer.
Fix both with the same (: </dev/tty) 2>/dev/null probe, and parametrize
the regression test over all three gated functions so any future
regression is caught regardless of which site breaks.
Address the three Copilot inline findings on the regression test:
- Switch _extract_run_setup_wizard() from str.index() with hard-coded
markers (which raises ValueError if `maybe_start_gateway()` is renamed
or the marker leaks into a comment) to an anchored regex on the
function-definition + closing-brace boundaries.
- Match `[ -e /dev/tty ]` with surrounding whitespace, optional quoting,
and the `test -e /dev/tty` form so the regression guard catches every
spelling of the existence-only check, not just the exact substring.
- Replace the literal `(: </dev/tty)` substring assertion with a
higher-level invariant — the gate must be an `if`/`if !` whose test
redirects stdin from /dev/tty — so equivalent open-based probes
(`exec 3</dev/tty` + close, brace-grouped variants, etc.) keep the
test green while the bare existence check stays caught.
Verified guard: both tests still pass on the fix and both fail on
`origin/main` with the documented messages.

In Docker builds the `/dev/tty` device node is present in the mount
namespace, so `[ -e /dev/tty ]` returns true — but opening it fails
with `ENXIO: No such device or address`. Under the old gate the
"no terminal available" skip never triggered, the setup wizard ran,
and the build aborted a few lines later when bash tried `< /dev/tty`:
/tmp/install.sh: line 1347: /dev/tty: No such device or address
Replace the existence check with `(: </dev/tty) 2>/dev/null`, which
actually attempts to open /dev/tty in a subshell. The probe succeeds
when piped from `curl | bash` on a real terminal (the wizard's intended
use case) and fails cleanly in Docker build / CI contexts so the skip
kicks in before the redirect can crash.
Add a regression test that statically asserts run_setup_wizard does not
gate on the bare existence check and that the open-based probe is in
place.
Fixes#16746.

The gateway caches one AIAgent per session to preserve prompt-cache hits,
keyed by _agent_config_signature(). The signature previously only
fingerprinted model/credentials/toolsets/ephemeral-prompt — NOT the
compression or context_length config. As a result, users who edited
model.context_length or compression.threshold in config.yaml on a
long-lived gateway saw no effect until they triggered an unrelated
cache eviction (/model switch, /reset, gateway restart).
Add a new cache_keys parameter to _agent_config_signature and a
_CACHE_BUSTING_CONFIG_KEYS registry listing config values the agent
bakes in at construction time. Call sites read the current config and
pass it through — next gateway message with an edited config
rebuilds the agent.
Keys registered:
- model.context_length
- compression.enabled
- compression.threshold
- compression.target_ratio
- compression.protect_last_n
Reported by @OP (Apr 26 feedback bundle).
## Changes
- gateway/run.py: new _CACHE_BUSTING_CONFIG_KEYS tuple,
_extract_cache_busting_config classmethod, cache_keys kwarg on
_agent_config_signature, call site passes the extracted dict
- tests/gateway/test_agent_cache.py: 11 new tests
(5 on _agent_config_signature behavior, 6 on _extract_cache_busting_config)

Network errors through proxies (e.g. sing-box) can leave httpx
connections in a half-closed state occupying pool slots. After enough
reconnect cycles the 256-connection default fills up entirely, causing
Pool timeout: All connections in the connection pool are occupied.
Fix: cycle only the getUpdates request object (_request[0]) via
shut-down + re-initialize before restarting polling. This drains stale
connections without touching the general request (_request[1]) that
concurrent send_message / edit_message calls rely on.
The drain is applied to both _handle_polling_network_error and
_handle_polling_conflict reconnect paths via a shared
_drain_polling_connections() helper. Failures in the drain are
swallowed so reconnect always proceeds.
Based on #16466 by @Mirac1eSky.
Auxiliary callers that configure reasoning via
auxiliary.<task>.extra_body.reasoning were having that config silently
dropped by the Codex Responses adapter — it only forwarded
messages/model/tools through to responses.stream(), never translating
chat.completions-shaped reasoning hints into the Responses API's
top-level reasoning + include fields.
Mirror the main-agent translation from agent/transports/codex.py:
- extra_body.reasoning.effort → resp_kwargs.reasoning.{effort, summary:"auto"}
- 'minimal' → 'low' clamp (Codex backend rejects 'minimal')
- Always include ['reasoning.encrypted_content'] when reasoning is enabled
- {'enabled': False} → omit reasoning and include entirely
- Non-dict reasoning values are ignored defensively
Reported by @OP (Apr 26 feedback bundle).
## Changes
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: _CodexCompletionsAdapter.create() now reads
and translates extra_body.reasoning before calling responses.stream()
- tests/agent/test_auxiliary_client.py: 9 new tests covering all effort
levels, the minimal→low clamp, the disabled path, the no-op paths,
and defensive handling of wrong-shape inputs

The gateway session-hygiene pre-compression safety valve had a hardcoded
400-message threshold. On long-lived sessions with short turns this was
either too high (users with aggressive compression preferences) or too
low (users with very large context models who want to keep more history
in-flight).
Add compression.hygiene_hard_message_limit (default 400) so it can be
tuned without forking the gateway.
Reported by @OP (Apr 26 feedback bundle).
## Changes
- hermes_cli/config.py: new DEFAULT_CONFIG key with 400 default
- gateway/run.py: read compression.hygiene_hard_message_limit at
hygiene-time, fall back to 400 if missing/invalid
- tests/gateway/test_session_hygiene.py: two tests — override fires at
the configured limit, default does not fire below 400

When openai-codex tokens expire or the ChatGPT account hits a 429
window, the pool entry gets marked STATUS_EXHAUSTED with
last_error_reset_at many hours in the future. If the user then runs
`hermes model` / `hermes auth openai-codex` to reauth, fresh tokens
land in ~/.hermes/auth.json but the pool entry stayed frozen behind
its reset_at — every request kept failing with 'credential pool: no
available entries (all exhausted or empty)' until the original window
elapsed.
_available_entries() already had auth.json/credentials-file resync
branches for anthropic/claude_code and nous/device_code; openai-codex
was missing. Added _sync_codex_entry_from_auth_store() mirroring the
nous version (reads state["tokens"][{access,refresh}_token] +
state["last_refresh"]) and wired it into the exhausted-entry resync
loop.
Also softens the 'codex CLI not found' doctor warning — native
device-code OAuth does not require the Codex binary, only
importing existing Codex CLI tokens does. Downgraded to an info line.
Reported on Discord by p1aceho1der: Codex stalled indefinitely after
a rate-limit reset, reauth didn't help, and doctor falsely warned
that the codex CLI was required.

Gemini 3 Flash documents low/medium/high as the accepted thinkingLevel
values. The salvaged bridge was forwarding Hermes' "minimal" effort to
Flash verbatim, which is not a documented Gemini level and risks a 400
from the native adapter.
Clamp minimal->low on Flash (matching how Pro already clamps minimal+low
down), and funnel anything outside {low, medium, high} into medium to
keep the request valid by construction. No behaviour change for the
documented effort levels.
Add tests/test_cli_manual_compress.py verifying _manual_compress passes
None (not the cached system prompt) to _compress_context, forwards the
/compress <topic> focus string, rotates CLI session_id to the new child
session, and clears the pending title.

Follow-up to PR #16802 (BeliefanX). The original fix read
`agent_history[-1].get("timestamp")` for the tool-tail freshness gate,
but `gateway/run.py` strips the `timestamp` field off all tool/tool_call
rows when building `agent_history` from the raw transcript (see
`clean_msg = {k: v for k, v in msg.items() if k != "timestamp"}`). At
runtime the tool-tail branch always saw `None` and silently took the
legacy-fresh path — the stale-guard never fired for the tool-tail case
it was supposed to cover.
Changes:
- Read the freshness signal from the RAW `history` list (via new
`_last_transcript_timestamp()` helper) BEFORE the strip. Both the
resume_pending branch and the tool-tail branch use this single signal,
replacing the two divergent ones.
- Default window bumped 15 min → 1 hour via new
`_AUTO_CONTINUE_FRESHNESS_SECS_DEFAULT`. The 15-minute default was
shorter than the default `gateway_timeout` of 30 min, so a legitimate
long-running turn interrupted near its timeout boundary and resumed
shortly after would have been misclassified as stale.
- Configurable via `config.yaml` `agent.gateway_auto_continue_freshness`
(bridged to `HERMES_AUTO_CONTINUE_FRESHNESS` at gateway startup — same
pattern as `gateway_timeout`). Set to 0 to disable the gate.
- `_coerce_gateway_timestamp` now explicitly rejects bool (which is a
subclass of int and would otherwise coerce to 0.0/1.0).
- Tests rewritten to exercise the real production data shape: raw
`history` → `_build_agent_history` strip → freshness decision. A
regression guard (`test_stale_tool_tail_with_production_data_shape`)
asserts `agent_history` tool rows carry NO timestamp, protecting
against someone "fixing" the original bug by re-adding the stripped
field (which would break the OpenAI tool-result message contract).
Add BeliefanX to scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP.
E2E verified: config.yaml → env var bridge → helper returns configured
value; default 1h window; malformed/empty env var falls back to default;
ISO-Z timestamps parse; ms-epoch coerced; bool rejected.
Extract the islink/realpath guard from the 16743 fix into a single
atomic_replace() helper in utils.py, then migrate every os.replace()
call site in the codebase to use it.
The original PR #16777 correctly identified and fixed the bug, but
only patched 9 of ~24 call sites. The same bug class (managed
deployments that symlink state files silently losing the link on
every write) still existed at auth.json, sessions file, gateway
config, env_loader, webhook subscriptions, debug store, model
catalog, pairing, google OAuth, nous rate guard, and more.
Rather than add another 10+ copies of the same three-line guard,
consolidate into atomic_replace(tmp, target) which:
- resolves symlinks via os.path.realpath before os.replace
- returns the resolved real path so callers can re-apply permissions
- is a drop-in replacement for os.replace at the use sites
Changes:
- utils.py: new atomic_replace() helper + atomic_json_write /
atomic_yaml_write now call it instead of inlining the guard
- 16 files: all os.replace() call sites migrated to atomic_replace()
- agent/{google_oauth, nous_rate_guard, shell_hooks}.py
- cron/jobs.py
- gateway/{pairing, session, platforms/telegram}.py
- hermes_cli/{auth, config, debug, env_loader, model_catalog, webhook}.py
- tools/{memory_tool, skill_manager_tool, skills_sync}.py
Tests: tests/test_atomic_replace_symlinks.py pins the invariant for
atomic_replace + atomic_json_write + atomic_yaml_write, covers plain
files, first-time creates, broken symlinks, and permission preservation.

Real OpenClaw configs key agents.defaults.models by full provider/model
API ID with an 'alias' field on the value (e.g.
{'anthropic/claude-opus-4-6': {'alias': 'Claude Opus 4.6'}}). Add
regression tests for issue #16745 covering:
- reverse-lookup of alias against real schema (keyed by API ID)
- alias resolution when model is a bare string vs {'primary': ...}
- passthrough when the value is already a provider/model API ID
- passthrough when the alias has no catalog match
- string-valued catalog entries (belt-and-suspenders)
- no catalog at all
25 new tests (all Bedrock API calls mocked, no real AWS creds needed):
tests/hermes_cli/test_bedrock_model_picker.py (20 tests):
- provider_model_ids("bedrock") uses live discovery, returns regional
model IDs, falls back gracefully on empty/exception, resolves all
bedrock aliases (aws, aws-bedrock, amazon-bedrock) to live discovery
- list_authenticated_providers() section 2: bedrock appears with AWS
creds, model list from discover_bedrock_models(), total_models
matches, is_current flag works, absent creds hides bedrock, discovery
failure does not crash, no duplicate entries
- Region routing: botocore profile eu-central-1 yields eu.* model IDs
end-to-end; env var takes priority over botocore profile
- providers.py overlay: exists with correct transport/auth_type, label
is non-empty, all aliases normalize to bedrock

* fix(anthropic): remove Claude Code fingerprinting from OAuth Messages API path
OAuth requests now identify as Hermes on the wire. Removed:
- "You are Claude Code, Anthropic's official CLI for Claude." system
prompt prepend
- Hermes Agent → Claude Code / Nous Research → Anthropic
system-prompt substitutions
- mcp_ tool-name prefix on outgoing tool schemas + message history
- Matching mcp_ strip on inbound tool_use blocks (strip_tool_prefix path
removed from AnthropicTransport.normalize_response, + all 5 call
sites in run_agent.py and auxiliary_client.py)
- user-agent: claude-cli/<v> (external, cli) and x-app: cli headers on
the Messages API client
Added:
- OAuth path strips context-1m-2025-08-07 — Anthropic rejects OAuth
requests carrying it with HTTP 400 'This authentication style is
incompatible with the long context beta header.'
Kept (auth plumbing, not identity spoofing):
- _is_oauth_token classifier and is_oauth flag threading
- Bearer vs x-api-key auth routing
- _OAUTH_ONLY_BETAS (claude-code-20250219, oauth-2025-04-20) — backend
requires these on the OAuth-gated Messages endpoint
- _OAUTH_CLIENT_ID (Claude Code's) — Anthropic doesn't issue OAuth
creds to third parties; this is the only way the login flow works
- claude-cli/<v> User-Agent on the OAuth token exchange + refresh
endpoints at platform.claude.com/v1/oauth/token — bare requests get
Cloudflare 1010 blocked
Verified live against api.anthropic.com with a fresh sk-ant-oat01-*
token:
- claude-haiku-4-5 simple message: HTTP 200, 'OK' response
- claude-haiku-4-5 tool call: HTTP 200, stop_reason=tool_use, tool
named 'terminal' (no mcp_ prefix) round-tripped correctly
- Outgoing wire: no user-agent, no x-app, real Hermes identity in
system prompt, real tool name in schema
Closes/supersedes #16820 (mcp_ PascalCase normalization patch — no longer
needed since the mcp_ round-trip is gone).
* fix(anthropic): resolve_anthropic_token() reads credential pool first
Close the gap where ~/.hermes/auth.json → credential_pool.anthropic
(where hermes login + dashboard PKCE flow write OAuth tokens) was not
in resolve_anthropic_token()'s source list.
Before: users who authed via hermes login got the token written into
the pool, but legacy fallback code paths (auxiliary_client, models
catalog fetch, explicit-runtime path) that call resolve_anthropic_token()
saw None and raised 'No Anthropic credentials found' — even though the
token was sitting in auth.json.
New priority 1: pool.select() with env-sourced entries skipped. Skipping
env:* entries preserves the existing env-var priority logic further
down the chain (static env OAuth → refreshable Claude Code upgrade via
_prefer_refreshable_claude_code_token).
Surfaced while writing the hermes-agent-dev skill playbook for
'finding a live OAuth token for an E2E test'.

Adds a pre-call sanitizer that detects assistant messages containing only
reasoning (reasoning / reasoning_content, no visible content, no
tool_calls) and drops them from the API copy. Adjacent user messages
left behind are merged so role alternation is preserved for the
provider.
Mirrors Claude Code's approach in src/utils/messages.ts
(filterOrphanedThinkingOnlyMessages + mergeAdjacentUserMessages). We
drop the whole turn rather than fabricate stub text (the '.' /
'(continued)' pattern from contributor PRs #11098, #13010, #16842 that
were rejected because they put words in the model's mouth).
The stored conversation history (self.messages) is never mutated — only
the per-call api_messages copy. Users still see the reasoning block in
the CLI/gateway transcript; only the wire copy is cleaned. Session
persistence keeps the full trace.
Two call sites covered:
- Main agent loop, after _sanitize_api_messages (catches every turn).
- Iteration-limit-summary fallback path.
Tests: tests/run_agent/test_thinking_only_sanitizer.py — 25 cases
covering detection (string/list content, whitespace-only, tool_calls,
reasoning_details list form), drop behavior, adjacent-user merge
(string+string, list+list, mixed), non-mutation of input dicts, and
system-message handling.
E2E live-tested against 5 providers with a poisoned history (empty
assistant message + reasoning_content): OpenRouter→Anthropic/OpenAI/
DeepSeek-R1/Qwen, native Gemini. All 5 accepted the cleaned request.
Happy-path regression (5/5) confirms the sanitizer is a noop when no
thinking-only turn exists.
Related: #16823 (wontfix — stub-text approach rejected).

Salvaged from PR #16860 onto current main (resolved conflicts with
#16935 Azure Anthropic env-var hint tests and the --provider choices=
list removal in chat_parser).
Three related fixes around custom env-var-name hints for provider entries.
1. Azure Anthropic path: previously hardcoded to look up AZURE_ANTHROPIC_KEY
then ANTHROPIC_API_KEY with no way to override. If a user wrote
model:
provider: anthropic
base_url: https://my-resource.services.ai.azure.com/anthropic
key_env: MY_CUSTOM_KEY
the key_env hint was silently ignored and the resolver raised
'No Azure Anthropic API key found' even when MY_CUSTOM_KEY was set
in the environment. The runtime now checks, in order:
(1) os.getenv(model_cfg.key_env)
(2) os.getenv(model_cfg.api_key_env) # docs alias
(3) model_cfg.api_key # inline value
(4) AZURE_ANTHROPIC_KEY # historical default
(5) ANTHROPIC_API_KEY # historical default
Error message updated to mention key_env as an option.
2. Provider entry normalizer (_normalize_custom_provider_entry): accept
'api_key_env' as a snake_case alias for 'key_env', and 'apiKeyEnv' as a
camelCase alias. Adds both to the _KNOWN_KEYS set so the 'unknown
config keys ignored' warning doesn't fire on valid configs.
3. _VALID_CUSTOM_PROVIDER_FIELDS: add 'key_env'. That set documents
supported custom_providers entry fields; it was drifting from reality
since key_env has been read at runtime in auxiliary_client.py,
runtime_provider.py, and main.py for a while.
Docs: website/docs/guides/azure-foundry.md now uses the canonical key_env
field and notes that api_key_env / keyEnv / apiKeyEnv are accepted as
aliases.
Validation: 12 new tests in test_runtime_provider_resolution.py covering
all 5 Azure Anthropic resolution paths + 4 normalizer-alias tests. Pass
rate across related suites (165 + 46 tests): 100%.

* feat(claw-migrate): harden OpenClaw import with plan-first apply, redaction, and pre-migration backup
Adopts four design patterns from OpenClaw's reciprocal migrate-hermes
importer so both migration paths have the same safety posture.
- **Refuse-on-conflict apply.** 'hermes claw migrate' now refuses to
execute when the plan has any conflict items, unless --overwrite is
set. Previously the user could say 'yes, proceed' and end up with a
silent partial migration that skipped every conflicting item.
- **Engine-level secret redaction.** The report.json and summary.md
written to disk (and --json stdout) run through a redactor that
matches OpenClaw's key-name markers and value-shape patterns
(sk-*, ghp_*, xox*-, AIza*, Bearer *). Prevents accidental API key
leakage in bug reports and support channels.
- **Pre-migration tarball snapshot.** Apply creates one timestamped
restore-point archive of ~/.hermes/ at ~/.hermes/migration/pre-migration-backups/
before any mutation, excluding regenerable directories
(sessions, logs, cache). Opt out with --no-backup.
- **Blocked-by-earlier-conflict sequencing.** If a config.yaml write
hits conflict/error mid-apply, subsequent config-mutating options
are marked skipped with reason 'blocked by earlier apply conflict'
rather than attempting partial writes.
- **Structured warnings[] and next_steps[] on the report** — actionable
guidance surfaces in both JSON output and summary.md.
- **--json output mode** — emits the redacted report on stdout for CI.
Also flips --preset full to NOT auto-enable --migrate-secrets. Users
now have to opt in to secret import explicitly, mirroring OpenClaw's
two-phase posture.
Status/kind/action constants are defined (STATUS_MIGRATED etc) with
values that match the existing strings the script emits, so the
report schema is backward-compatible. ItemResult gains a 'sensitive'
bool field that redaction and consumers can key off.
Validation: 26 new unit tests + 1 updated test in tests/skills/
test_openclaw_migration_hardening.py and test_claw.py cover redaction
(key markers, value patterns, recursion, on-disk), warnings/next_steps,
blocked-by-earlier sequencing, --json mode, and the preset-flip.
Manual E2E against a fake $HERMES_HOME with real-shaped secrets
confirmed: (1) secrets never appear in stdout or on disk,
(2) _cmd_migrate refuses apply when plan has conflicts,
(3) --overwrite proceeds past the guard and the backup tarball is
created, (4) --no-backup skips the archive.
Related docs: website/docs/guides/migrate-from-openclaw.md and
website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md updated to reflect the
preset-flip and new --no-backup flag.
* refactor(claw-migrate): reuse hermes backup system for pre-migration snapshot
Drops the inline tarball in hermes_cli/claw.py in favor of
hermes_cli.backup.create_pre_migration_backup(), which shares an
implementation with create_pre_update_backup via a new
_write_full_zip_backup helper. Benefits:
- Consistent exclusion rules with hermes backup (_EXCLUDED_DIRS,
_EXCLUDED_SUFFIXES, _EXCLUDED_NAMES — single source of truth).
- SQLite safe-copy via _safe_copy_db (state.db restores cleanly).
- Zip format restorable with 'hermes import <archive>'.
- Lives under ~/.hermes/backups/pre-migration-*.zip alongside
pre-update-*.zip — one place for all snapshot archives.
- Auto-prune rotation with separate keep counters (pre-migration
keeps 5, pre-update keeps 5, they don't touch each other's files).
7 new tests in tests/hermes_cli/test_backup.py lock the contract:
directory location, shared exclusion rules, _validate_backup_zip
acceptance (i.e. restorable with 'hermes import'), non-recursive
into prior backups, rotation, missing-home handling, and the
invariant that pre-migration rotation never touches pre-update
backups.
Help text and docs updated — the restore hint now says
'hermes import <name>' instead of 'tar -xzf <archive> -C ~/'.
* chore(claw-migrate): use backup._format_size and drop duplicate output line
Minor polish using another existing primitive from hermes_cli.backup:
- Show backup archive size with _format_size (e.g. '(245 B)' or '(2.4 MB)')
matching the format hermes backup already uses.
- Drop the duplicate 'Pre-migration backup saved' line after Migration
Results — the earlier 'Pre-migration backup: <path> (<size>)' line
already surfaces the path before apply runs.

Follow-up to #15328's vision-unsupported retry branch in run_agent.py.
_strip_images_from_messages() previously deleted any message whose content
was entirely images. That's fine for synthetic user messages injected for
attachment delivery, but it breaks providers for tool-role messages — the
paired tool_call_id on the preceding assistant message ends up unmatched,
which OpenAI-compatible APIs reject with HTTP 400.
Fix: tool-role messages whose content becomes empty are replaced with a
plaintext placeholder that preserves the tool_call_id linkage. Only
non-tool messages are dropped. Added 10 tests covering the role-alternation
invariants + image-type coverage.
Image-rejection detector: expanded phrase list (image content not
supported / multimodal input / vision input / model does not support
image) and gated on 4xx status so transient 5xx errors never get
misinterpreted as 'server said no to images'. Detection is documented as
best-effort English phrase matching.

Background macOS desktop control via cua-driver MCP — does NOT steal the
user's cursor or keyboard focus, works with any tool-capable model.
Replaces the Anthropic-native `computer_20251124` approach from the
abandoned #4562 with a generic OpenAI function-calling schema plus SOM
(set-of-mark) captures so Claude, GPT, Gemini, and open models can all
drive the desktop via numbered element indices.
- `tools/computer_use/` package — swappable ComputerUseBackend ABC +
CuaDriverBackend (stdio MCP client to trycua/cua's cua-driver binary).
- Universal `computer_use` tool with one schema for all providers.
Actions: capture (som/vision/ax), click, double_click, right_click,
middle_click, drag, scroll, type, key, wait, list_apps, focus_app.
- Multimodal tool-result envelope (`_multimodal=True`, OpenAI-style
`content: [text, image_url]` parts) that flows through
handle_function_call into the tool message. Anthropic adapter converts
into native `tool_result` image blocks; OpenAI-compatible providers
get the parts list directly.
- Image eviction in convert_messages_to_anthropic: only the 3 most
recent screenshots carry real image data; older ones become text
placeholders to cap per-turn token cost.
- Context compressor image pruning: old multimodal tool results have
their image parts stripped instead of being skipped.
- Image-aware token estimation: each image counts as a flat 1500 tokens
instead of its base64 char length (~1MB would have registered as
~250K tokens before).
- COMPUTER_USE_GUIDANCE system-prompt block — injected when the toolset
is active.
- Session DB persistence strips base64 from multimodal tool messages.
- Trajectory saver normalises multimodal messages to text-only.
- `hermes tools` post-setup installs cua-driver via the upstream script
and prints permission-grant instructions.
- CLI approval callback wired so destructive computer_use actions go
through the same prompt_toolkit approval dialog as terminal commands.
- Hard safety guards at the tool level: blocked type patterns
(curl|bash, sudo rm -rf, fork bomb), blocked key combos (empty trash,
force delete, lock screen, log out).
- Skill `apple/macos-computer-use/SKILL.md` — universal (model-agnostic)
workflow guide.
- Docs: `user-guide/features/computer-use.md` plus reference catalog
entries.
44 new tests in tests/tools/test_computer_use.py covering schema
shape (universal, not Anthropic-native), dispatch routing, safety
guards, multimodal envelope, Anthropic adapter conversion, screenshot
eviction, context compressor pruning, image-aware token estimation,
run_agent helpers, and universality guarantees.
469/469 pass across tests/tools/test_computer_use.py + the affected
agent/ test suites.
- `model_tools.py` provider-gating: the tool is available to every
provider. Providers without multi-part tool message support will see
text-only tool results (graceful degradation via `text_summary`).
- Anthropic server-side `clear_tool_uses_20250919` — deferred;
client-side eviction + compressor pruning cover the same cost ceiling
without a beta header.
- macOS only. cua-driver uses private SkyLight SPIs
(SLEventPostToPid, SLPSPostEventRecordTo,
_AXObserverAddNotificationAndCheckRemote) that can break on any macOS
update. Pin with HERMES_CUA_DRIVER_VERSION.
- Requires Accessibility + Screen Recording permissions — the post-setup
prints the Settings path.
Supersedes PR #4562 (pyautogui/Quartz foreground backend, Anthropic-
native schema). Credit @0xbyt4 for the original #3816 groundwork whose
context/eviction/token design is preserved here in generic form.
Opt-in Langfuse tracing for Hermes conversations — LLM calls, tool
usage, usage/cost breakdown per span. Hooks into pre/post_api_request,
pre/post_llm_call, pre/post_tool_call. SDK is optional; missing SDK or
credentials renders the plugin inert.
Salvaged from PR #16845 by @kshitijk4poor, who wrote the plugin
(~875 LOC, 6 hooks, Langfuse usage-details/cost-details normalization,
read_file payload summarization).
Salvage scope (why this isn't PR #16845 as-authored):
- Lives at plugins/observability/langfuse/ (standalone kind, opt-in via
plugins.enabled) instead of a new parallel optional-plugins/
directory. Standalone bundled plugins are already opt-in — only their
plugin.yaml is scanned at startup; the Python module is not imported
unless the user enables it. The premise of optional-plugins/ (avoid
import cost for users who don't want it) is already solved by the
existing plugin system.
- Dropped the triple activation gate (plugins.enabled +
plugins.langfuse.enabled + HERMES_LANGFUSE_ENABLED). The Hermes plugin
system's own enable/disable is authoritative; runtime credentials
gate whether the hook actually traces.
- Rewrote _is_enabled() → cached _get_langfuse() with an _INIT_FAILED
sentinel. The original called hermes_cli.config.load_config() from
every hook invocation (full yaml parse + deep merge + env expansion
on every pre/post_tool_call, potentially 100+ times per turn). The
cached version reads env once and returns the cached client or None
on every subsequent call with zero further work.
- hermes tools → Langfuse Observability post-setup adds
observability/langfuse to plugins.enabled directly (via
_save_enabled_set) instead of going through an install-copy flow.
Enable:
hermes tools # interactive
hermes plugins enable observability/langfuse # manual
Required env (set by `hermes tools` or in ~/.hermes/.env):
HERMES_LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY
HERMES_LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY
HERMES_LANGFUSE_BASE_URL # optional

Narrow plaintext shortcut that rewrites a tiny set of admin phrases
("restart gateway", "restart the gateway", "restart hermes") into the
/restart slash command, but only in DMs. Scope is intentionally tight:
- DM text messages only — group chats keep natural-language semantics
- Exact restart-style phrases only
- Skips anything already starting with "/"
Without this, the LLM can receive "restart gateway" as a user turn and
try to satisfy it via the terminal tool (systemctl restart ...). That
kills the gateway while the originating agent is still running, which
leaves systemd in "draining" state waiting on a process it's about to
kill. Routing the phrase to the slash-command dispatcher bypasses the
agent loop and uses the existing restart machinery (request_restart).
Called once, at the adapter level in BasePlatformAdapter.handle_message,
so every platform gets it for free and pending-message reinjection is
covered by the same call site.
Adds 2 Telegram-parametrized e2e tests: DM routes to request_restart,
group chats fall through to the normal agent path.
Runtime already supports list-form fallback_model (run_agent.py:1459
iterates fallback_chain; fallback_cmd.py migrates legacy single-dict
configs to list format). The config validator and save_config comment
gate still assumed single-dict form and flagged list-form configs as
errors. Fix both:
- validate_config_structure: when fallback_model is a list, validate
each entry has provider+model; keep the existing single-dict path.
- save_config: suppress the "add fallback_model" comment when any list
entry is well-formed.
Adds 4 list-form validator tests.
PR #16858's session-scoped interactive sudo password cache falls back to
a thread-identity scope when no HERMES_SESSION_KEY is bound. ACP never
set that contextvar, so two ACP sessions landing on the same reused
ThreadPoolExecutor thread still shared the cache — the exact scenario
the PR headlined.
acp_adapter/server.py now:
- binds HERMES_SESSION_KEY=<session_id> via gateway.session_context
inside _run_agent() (and clears on exit)
- wraps the loop.run_in_executor(_executor, _run_agent) call in a fresh
contextvars.copy_context() so concurrent ACP sessions don't stomp on
each other's ContextVar writes (executor pool threads would otherwise
share a context).
Adds tests/acp/test_approval_isolation.py::
test_sudo_password_cache_isolated_across_acp_sessions_on_same_pool_thread
which drives two back-to-back sessions through a 1-worker ThreadPoolExecutor
and asserts B does not observe A's cached password.
Follow-up on top of the cherry-picked contributor commit for #16751:
1. Delete triggers: the original PR switched FTS5 from external to inline
content mode and concatenated content || tool_name || tool_calls in
the insert/update triggers, but left the delete triggers passing
old.content to the FTS5 delete-command. FTS5 inline delete requires
the content to match what was stored, so every DELETE on messages
raised 'SQL logic error'. Replaced with plain DELETE FROM ... WHERE
rowid = old.id on all four delete paths (normal + trigram, delete +
update-delete).
2. v11 migration: existing DBs have the old external-content FTS tables
and triggers. Because CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE IF NOT EXISTS / CREATE
TRIGGER IF NOT EXISTS skip when the objects already exist, upgraders
would have kept the broken behavior forever. Bumped SCHEMA_VERSION
to 11 and added a migration that drops both FTS tables + all 6 old
triggers, recreates them via FTS_SQL / FTS_TRIGRAM_SQL, and backfills
from messages using the same concatenation expression.
3. Regression tests: 6 new tests cover INSERT / UPDATE / DELETE paths
for tool_name + tool_calls indexing plus the full v10 -> v11 upgrade
path on a hand-built legacy DB.
FTS5 default tokenizer splits 'sp_new1' into tokens 'sp' and 'new1'.
Without quoting, a search for 'sp_new' becomes an AND query
('sp AND new') that fails to match rows indexed as 'sp_new1'.
Fix: add underscore to the character class in Step 5 regex
([.-] -> [._-]) so underscored terms are wrapped in double quotes.
Also adds test_sanitize_fts5_quotes_underscored_terms.
Both keys are documented in cli-config.yaml.example and read at runtime by
hermes_cli/timeouts.py (get_provider_request_timeout and get_provider_stale_timeout),
but the provider-entry validator in config.py flagged them as unknown, producing
noisy warnings on every CLI invocation for users who followed the documented config.
Fixes#16779
Previously, agent.disabled_toolsets in config.yaml only worked for CLI
mode (run_agent.py --disabled_toolsets). The gateway always passed
enabled_toolsets to AIAgent, and get_tool_definitions() ignored
disabled_toolsets when enabled_toolsets was set.
Fix: _get_platform_tools() now reads agent.disabled_toolsets from config
and excludes those toolsets from the returned set. This runs last so it
overrides everything above.
Added 3 tests covering cross-platform suppression, explicit platform
config override, and empty/missing config no-op behavior.
Streaming-only providers (glm, MiniMax, gpt-5.x via aigw, Anthropic via
openai-compat shims) emit reasoning through delta.reasoning_content
chunks that get accumulated into the local reasoning_text string — but
never land on the assistant message object as a top-level attribute. The
prior guard at _build_assistant_message only wrote reasoning_content
when the SDK exposed hasattr(msg, 'reasoning_content'), so these
providers persisted the chain-of-thought under the internal 'reasoning'
key and omitted the protocol-standard field.
The poison was silent until the user later switched to a DeepSeek-v4 or
Kimi thinking model, at which point replay failed with HTTP 400:
'The reasoning_content in the thinking mode must be passed back to the
API.' One reported session store accumulated 4,031 poisoned messages
across 1,101 files (#16844).
Fix: add an additive fallback that promotes the already-sanitized
reasoning_text to reasoning_content when no earlier branch wrote it AND
reasoning text was actually captured. Layered on top of the existing
SDK-attr branch and DeepSeek ''-pad (#15250) rather than replacing them,
so every existing behavior is preserved:
- SDK-exposed reasoning_content (OpenAI/Moonshot/DeepSeek SDK) still
wins.
- DeepSeek tool-call ''-pad still fires when the SDK exposes the attr
but the value is None.
- Non-thinking turns with no reasoning leave the field absent, so
_copy_reasoning_content_for_api's cross-provider leak guard (#15748),
promote-from-'reasoning' tier, and thinking-pad tier remain live at
replay time.
- No empty '' gets eagerly written on every assistant turn (which would
have bypassed the read-side ladder and triggered empty thinking-block
insertion in the Anthropic adapter).
Tests: three new TestBuildAssistantMessage cases covering the streaming
promotion path, SDK precedence, and field-absent-when-no-reasoning
invariant.
Credit @Sanjays2402 for the original diagnosis and patch in #16884;
this is a scoped rework that preserves the existing read-side
compensation code as defense in depth.
Refs #16844, #16884, #15250, #15353, #15748.
Address Copilot review on #16868:
1. Tighten pool iteration. ``validate_copilot_token`` only rejects empty
strings and classic PATs (``ghp_*``); a malformed/unsupported ``gho_*``
token at ``credential_pool.copilot[0]`` would pass the gate and short-
circuit the loop, hiding a later valid entry. Switch to calling
``exchange_copilot_token`` directly: only entries that actually exchange
into a live Copilot API token are returned. Bad/expired entries fall
through to the next, and an exhausted pool returns ``""`` so the picker
falls back to the curated list (existing behaviour).
2. Reword the docstring + test module docstring to describe the pool seed
path accurately — ``hermes auth add copilot`` adds an api-key-typed
credential whose ``access_token`` field stores the pasted token, and
``_seed_from_env`` mirrors ``COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN`` from
``~/.hermes/.env`` into the pool. The previous wording implied
``auth add copilot`` itself ran the device-code flow, which it does
not (the device-code flow lives in ``hermes model``).
Two new tests cover the iteration change:
- ``test_skips_pool_entry_that_fails_to_exchange`` — pool[0] raises,
pool[1] succeeds, picker uses pool[1].
- ``test_all_pool_entries_fail_exchange_returns_empty`` — every entry
raises, return ``""``.

Users whose only Copilot credential is the OAuth `access_token` saved by
`hermes auth add copilot` (device-code flow) saw the `/model` picker drop
back to a stale hardcoded list. Reason: `_resolve_copilot_catalog_api_key`
only consulted env vars (`COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN` / `GH_TOKEN` /
`GITHUB_TOKEN`) and the `gh auth token` CLI fallback, never the credential
pool that Hermes's own login flow writes into `auth.json`. With no token,
the live catalog fetch silently 401s and the picker hides current models
(claude-opus-4.7, claude-sonnet-4.6, gpt-5.5, grok-code-fast-1) — even
though `/model <id>` works fine because runtime inference reads the pool
through a different code path.
Mirror the Codex catalog resolver pattern: env-var first (unchanged), then
walk `read_credential_pool("copilot")` for the first entry with a
supported `access_token` (`gho_*` / `github_pat_*` / `ghu_*`). Run it
through `get_copilot_api_token()` so the catalog request uses the same
exchanged token the runtime path uses. Classic PATs (`ghp_*`) are still
rejected up-front via `validate_copilot_token` since the Copilot API
doesn't accept them.
Strictly additive: env still wins, and a missing/locked auth.json (or any
exception during pool read) still returns "" so the caller falls through
to the curated catalog.

`/new` after `/model <custom-provider>:<model>` silently reverted to a
native provider whose static catalog happened to contain the same model
name (e.g. `deepseek-v4-pro` → native `deepseek` → 401).
Root cause at the `/model` writeback site: `HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER`
was set unconditionally but `HERMES_TUI_PROVIDER` was only mirrored when
it was already set. On sessions launched without `--provider`,
`HERMES_TUI_PROVIDER` stayed unset, so `_resolve_startup_runtime()` on
`/new` skipped the explicit-provider early return and fell through to
`detect_static_provider_for_model()`.
Fix: set `HERMES_TUI_PROVIDER` unconditionally alongside
`HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER` when `/model` lands. Keeps #15755's
invariant intact — `HERMES_TUI_PROVIDER` remains the canonical
"explicit this process" carrier, `HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER` remains
ambient and does not short-circuit startup resolution.
Bug report and diagnosis: @Bartok9 in #16857 / #16873.
Fixes#16857
Replace the Linux/macOS pgrep regex ("hermes.*dashboard") with a ps
scan + the same explicit patterns list already used on the Windows
branch and in hermes_cli.gateway._scan_gateway_pids:
hermes dashboard
hermes_cli.main dashboard
hermes_cli/main.py dashboard
The old greedy regex would match any cmdline containing both words —
e.g. a chat session whose argv mentions "dashboard" or an unrelated
grafana/dashboard-server process. Added regression tests for both.
Follow-up tightening on #16881.
The dashboard is a long-lived server process users start and forget.
When hermes update replaces files on disk, the running process holds
the old Python backend in memory while the JS bundle gets updated,
producing a silent frontend/backend mismatch (e.g. v0.11.0 changed
the session token header -- old backends reject every API call).
Scan for running dashboard processes after a successful update (both
git and ZIP paths) and print a warning with their PIDs and restart
instructions. Mirrors the existing pattern for gateway processes.
Fixes#16872
PR #16888 swaps the opencode-zen/go resolver so that api_mode is always
re-derived from the effective model before the persisted api_mode is
consulted. That's the point of the fix — a stale anthropic_messages
from a previous minimax default must not survive a /model switch to a
chat_completions target (or vice versa) and strip /v1 from base_url.
The prior test asserted the opposite precedence — that a persisted
api_mode won over model-derived mode — and was added in #4508 to lock
in escape-hatch behavior. Under the new precedence that escape hatch
no longer exists for opencode (only for providers that genuinely
support both modes at a single endpoint — and for opencode the model
name is the unambiguous signal). Rename + invert the assertion to
document the intentional behavior change.
Refs #16878.
Switch _PRIORITY_PROCESSING_MODELS and _ANTHROPIC_FAST_MODE_MODELS from
hardcoded frozensets to prefix-based matching. Any gpt-*, o1*, o3*, o4*
(OpenAI) and any claude-* (Anthropic) now exposes /fast.
Fixes the case where gpt-5.5 and other post-catalog models silently
skipped Priority Processing because they weren't in the frozenset.
Future OpenAI/Anthropic releases will work without a catalog bump.
Safety:
- Codex-series (*codex*) still excluded — they route through the Codex
Responses API which doesn't take service_tier.
- Anthropic adapter already gates speed=fast on native endpoints only
(_is_third_party_anthropic_endpoint), so claude-sonnet-4.6 on
OpenRouter/Bedrock/opencode-zen won't leak the unknown beta.
- service_tier=priority is silently dropped by non-OpenAI proxies, so
false positives are harmless.
OpenClaw users who started before the rebrand (when the project was
clawd/clawdbot) often have a custom workspace directory configured via
agents.defaults.workspace in openclaw.json (e.g. ~/clawd/ instead of
~/.openclaw/workspace/).
The migration tool only checked hardcoded relative paths (workspace/,
workspace-main/, workspace-assistant/) inside the source root, so files
like MEMORY.md, skills, and daily memory in custom workspaces were
silently skipped.
This change:
- Reads agents.defaults.workspace from openclaw.json at init time
- Uses it as a final fallback in source_candidate() when files aren't
found in the standard locations
- Standard workspace paths are still preferred (custom is fallback only)
- Custom workspace is only used when it's outside the source_root tree
(avoids double-matching when workspace/ is the default)
Adds two tests:
- Custom workspace files are discovered and migrated
- Standard workspace location is preferred over custom
Flips security.redact_secrets from true to false in DEFAULT_CONFIG, and
the HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS env-var fallback in agent/redact.py now
requires explicit opt-in ("1"/"true"/"yes"/"on") to enable.
New installs and users without a security.redact_secrets key get pass-
through tool output. Existing users whose config.yaml explicitly sets
redact_secrets: true keep redaction on — the config-yaml -> env-var
bridges in hermes_cli/main.py and gateway/run.py still honor their
setting.
Also updates the inline config comments, website docs, and the
hermes-agent skill so /hermes config set security.redact_secrets true
is now the documented way to turn it on.
MatrixAdapter._is_self_sender returns True defensively when _user_id is empty
(whoami not yet resolved) to prevent echo loops — see #15763. The reaction
approval test must therefore initialize a user_id so _on_reaction does not
drop the inbound test event before reaching the approval handler.
Self-contained docker-compose harness that exercises the new bootstrap
branch against a real Continuwuity homeserver. Three tests:
1. fresh bot → bootstrap fires, /keys/query returns master + ssk
with UNPADDED base64 keyids, current device is signed by the
new SSK
2. second startup with same crypto store → bootstrap is skipped
3. MATRIX_RECOVERY_KEY set → existing verify_with_recovery_key path
takes precedence, no new bootstrap
Run via:
docker compose -f tests/e2e/matrix_xsign_bootstrap/docker-compose.yml up -d
python tests/e2e/matrix_xsign_bootstrap/test_bootstrap.py
docker compose -f tests/e2e/matrix_xsign_bootstrap/docker-compose.yml down -v
The test mirrors the bootstrap snippet from matrix.py inline so it can
run without importing the full hermes gateway and its deps. Skipped
automatically when mautrix isn't installed or the homeserver is
unreachable.
All three pass against ghcr.io/continuwuity/continuwuity:latest
(Continuwuity 0.5.7). The unpadded-keyid assertion is the load-bearing
one — it's exactly the property the PR's bootstrap path provides that
the hand-rolled `base64.b64encode().decode()` scripts get wrong.
* Port from Kilo-Org/kilocode#9448: roll up subagent costs into parent session total
Child subagents built by delegate_task() each track their own
session_estimated_cost_usd, but the parent agent's total never folded
those numbers in. On runs where the parent mostly delegates and the
children do the expensive work, the footer/UI was reporting a fraction
of the actual spend — sometimes $0.00 when the parent itself made no
billed calls.
Fix:
- Capture each child's session_estimated_cost_usd into _child_cost_usd
on the result entry (before child.close() drops the counter).
- After the existing subagent_stop hook loop, sum the children's costs
and add the total to parent.session_estimated_cost_usd.
- Promote session_cost_source from 'none' -> 'subagent' when the parent
had no direct spend but children did, so the UI doesn't label the
total as having unknown provenance. Real sources (openrouter,
anthropic, etc.) are preserved.
Nested orchestrator -> worker trees roll up naturally: each layer's own
delegate_task() folds its direct children in, and when the orchestrator
itself returns, its parent folds the orchestrator's now-inflated total
on top.
Internal fields (_child_cost_usd, _child_role) are stripped from the
results dict before it's serialised back to the model — same contract
as _child_role already followed.
Tests: TestSubagentCostRollup (5 cases) covers single-child, batch,
zero-cost-children, preserved-source, and legacy-fixture paths.

* fix(web): scope dashboard config Reset button to the current tab
Reported by @ykmfb001 via X: clicking 'Restore Defaults' (恢复默认值) on
the Auxiliary page wiped the entire config.yaml to defaults, not just
the auxiliary section. The button sits next to the category tabs and
users reasonably assumed 'reset this tab', not 'reset everything'.
Changes:
- handleReset now scopes to the fields in the current view:
active category's fields (form mode) or search-matched fields
(search mode). Only those keys are copied from defaults; the rest
of the config is left alone.
- Added a window.confirm() with the scope name before applying.
- Button is hidden in YAML mode (scoping doesn't apply there).
- Tooltip/aria-label now name the scope, e.g. 'Reset Auxiliary to
defaults'.
- i18n: new resetScopeTooltip / confirmResetScope / resetScopeToast
strings in en + zh; resetDefaults key preserved for compat.
On AWS Bedrock (and Azure AI Foundry), Claude Opus 4.6/4.7 and Sonnet 4.6
are capped at 200K context unless the request carries the
`context-1m-2025-08-07` beta header. On native Anthropic (api.anthropic.com)
1M went GA so the header is a harmless no-op, but Bedrock/Azure still gate
it as beta as of 2026-04.
Hermes was advertising 1M in model_metadata.py (`claude-opus-4-7: 1000000`)
while silently sending a request without the beta — so Bedrock users saw
a 200K ceiling with no error message, and no config knob unblocked it.
Claude Code sends this header by default, which is why the same Bedrock
credentials worked there.
- Add `context-1m-2025-08-07` to `_COMMON_BETAS` (alongside interleaved
thinking and fine-grained tool streaming).
- Strip it in `_common_betas_for_base_url` for MiniMax bearer-auth
endpoints — they host their own models, not Claude, so Anthropic beta
headers are irrelevant and could risk rejection.
- Attach `_COMMON_BETAS` as `default_headers` on the AnthropicBedrock
client. Previously that constructor passed no betas at all, so native
Anthropic had the 1M unlock via default_headers but Bedrock didn't.
- Fast-mode per-request `extra_headers` already rebuilds from
`_common_betas_for_base_url`, so it picks up the 1M beta automatically.
Reported by user 'Rodmar' on Discord: Bedrock Opus 4.7 stuck at 200K while
same credentials worked in Claude Code.
Anyone who ran hermes between Apr 15 (42aeb4ec) and Apr 22 (a7d78d3b)
has schema_version=7 from the pre-renumber api_call_count migration.
When a7d78d3b inserted reasoning_content as the new v7 and pushed
api_call_count to v8, the 'if current_version < 7' gate was already
false for those users, so reasoning_content was never created —
sqlite3.OperationalError: no such column: reasoning_content on any
/continue or /resume touching assistant replays.
Replaces the version-gated ADD COLUMN chain with _reconcile_columns():
on every startup, parse SCHEMA_SQL via an in-memory SQLite and diff
against PRAGMA table_info; ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN for anything missing.
Follows the Beets / sqlite-utils pattern — SCHEMA_SQL becomes the single
source of truth for declared columns. Self-healing and idempotent.
v10 trigram FTS backfill is retained in a version-gated block — that
migration isn't a column add, it inserts existing message rows into
the new FTS virtual table, so reconciliation can't express it.
schema_version is also kept for future row-data migrations.
Salvaged from #14097 (@kshitijk4poor) onto current main; v10 trigram
preservation and the v9 codex_message_items column (stale-missed by
the original branch) are covered automatically by reconciliation.
Tests:
- Regression: DB at old v7 with api_call_count but no reasoning_content
gets the column on open
- Idempotency: reopening the same DB is a no-op

backfill preserved
Plugins can now observe dangerous-command approval events in real time,
on both the CLI-interactive path and the async gateway path. This is the
missing hook surface external tools need to build approval notifiers
(macOS menu-bar allow/deny, Slack alerts, audit logs, etc.) without
forking Hermes or running a parallel gateway adapter.
Changes:
- hermes_cli/plugins.py: add two entries to VALID_HOOKS
- tools/approval.py: fire both hooks from check_all_command_guards --
around prompt_dangerous_approval (CLI surface) and around the
notify_cb + blocking event.wait loop (gateway surface)
- website/docs/user-guide/features/hooks.md: document both hooks with
a macOS-notification example
- tests/tools/test_approval_plugin_hooks.py: 5 tests covering CLI once,
CLI deny, plugin-crash resilience, gateway approve, gateway timeout
Hooks are observer-only: return values are ignored, so plugins cannot
veto or pre-answer an approval (use pre_tool_call for that). A crashing
plugin cannot break the approval flow -- invoke_hook swallows per-
callback errors, and the wrapper logs and swallows dispatch-layer
errors too.
Surface kwarg distinguishes "cli" from "gateway"; post hook reports
choice as one of once/session/always/deny/timeout.
A misconfigured auxiliary.compression.model is a user-fixable problem that silent recovery would hide. The previous retry-on-main logic transparently swallowed aux-model failures whenever the fallback succeeded, leaving the user's broken config in place and racking up future failures.
Track the aux-model failure on the compressor alongside the existing fallback-placeholder fields:
- _last_aux_model_failure_model: str | None
- _last_aux_model_failure_error: str | None
Both are set at the moment the aux model errors (captured before summary_model is cleared for retry), regardless of whether the retry succeeds. Cleared at compress() start and on on_session_reset() so a clean run doesn't leak stale warnings.
Surface at three places:
- gateway hygiene auto-compress: ℹ note to the platform adapter (thread_id preserved)
- gateway /compress command: ℹ line appended to the reply
- CLI via _emit_warning: deduped on (model, error) so repeat compactions don't spam
Distinct from the existing ⚠️ dropped-turns warning — different severity, different emoji, explicit 'context is intact' reassurance.
The existing retry-on-main path in _generate_summary only fires for errors that match the _is_model_not_found heuristic (404/503, 'model_not_found', 'does not exist', 'no available channel'). Other misconfiguration errors — 400s from aggregators, provider-specific 'no route' strings, opaque rejections — fall straight through to the transient-cooldown branch, which drops N turns of context and inserts a static placeholder.
Losing context is almost always worse than one extra summary attempt. Add a best-effort retry-on-main for the unknown-error branch, guarded by the same invariants as the existing fast-path retry: only when summary_model differs from main, and only once per compressor (_summary_model_fallen_back).
Tests cover: 404 fast-path fallback still works, unknown 400 now falls back, same-model aux skips retry (no infinite loop), and a double-failure (aux + main) stops at 2 calls.
PR #16333 added a warning to the manual /compress reply when the
auxiliary summariser fails and the static fallback placeholder is
used, but only the gateway-hygiene path had a test
(test_session_hygiene_warns_user_when_summary_generation_fails).
The /compress branch in _handle_compress_command was uncovered.
New test test_compress_command_appends_warning_when_summary_generation_fails
mocks the compressor's _last_summary_fallback_used /
_last_summary_dropped_count / _last_summary_error fields and
verifies the /compress reply contains the ⚠️ marker, the underlying
error string, the dropped message count, and the 'historical
message(s) were removed' wording — i.e. the same contract the
hygiene-path test enforces.
Address review feedback on PR #16333:
1. The hygiene-path warning send was missing metadata=_hyg_meta. On
Telegram topics / Slack threads / Discord threads the warning would
land in the main channel instead of the originating thread. Now
reuses the same _hyg_meta dict already computed for the hygiene
compaction itself.
2. New gateway-level test
test_session_hygiene_warns_user_when_summary_generation_fails
verifies end-to-end:
- When the compressor's _last_summary_fallback_used flag is True,
the gateway invokes adapter.send() exactly once.
- The warning message includes the dropped count and the underlying
error string.
- metadata={'thread_id': ...} is propagated so the warning lands
in the originating topic/thread.
Tests: 20 gateway hygiene + 54 context_compressor — all pass.
When auxiliary compression's summary LLM call fails (e.g. model 404,
auxiliary model misconfigured), the compressor still drops the selected
turns and inserts a static fallback placeholder — the dropped context
is unrecoverable.
Previously the only signal of this was a WARNING in agent.log. Gateway
users (Telegram/Discord/etc.) had no way to know context was lost
because the existing _emit_warning path requires a status_callback,
and the gateway hygiene path uses a temporary _hyg_agent with
quiet_mode=True and no callback wired up.
Changes:
- ContextCompressor: track _last_summary_fallback_used and
_last_summary_dropped_count on each compress() call. Cleared at the
start of compress() and on session reset.
- gateway/run.py hygiene: after auto-compress, inspect the temp
agent's compressor; if fallback was used, send a visible ⚠️ warning
to the user via the platform adapter (TG/Discord/etc.) including
dropped count and the underlying error.
- gateway/run.py /compress: append the same warning to the manual
compress reply so users running /compress see the failure too.
Acceptance:
- Summary success: no user-visible warning (unchanged).
- Summary failure on gateway hygiene: user receives a TG/Discord
message with dropped count + error + remediation hint.
- Summary failure on /compress: warning appended to the command reply.
- CLI status_callback / _emit_warning path is untouched.
- Test coverage: two new tests verify the tracking fields are set on
failure and cleared on subsequent success.
The typing-indicator refresh loop in BasePlatformAdapter._keep_typing
awaited each send_typing call unconditionally. Each call is an HTTP
round-trip to the platform API (Telegram/Discord), normally ~100ms. When
the same network instability that causes upstream provider timeouts
(e.g. Anthropic capacity blips slowing first-token latency past the
120s stream-read timeout) also slows the platform typing API to
multi-second response times, the refresh loop stalls inside the await.
Platform-side typing expires at ~5s, so the bubble dies and stays dead
until the stuck send_typing call returns — right when the user most
needs the 'still working' signal and instead sees a bot that looks
dead, then asks 'wtf are you doing' which itself interrupts the
eventually-recovering turn.
Bound each send_typing with asyncio.wait_for (1.5s cap, derived from
interval so it's always below the 2s cadence). Slow calls get abandoned
so the next scheduled tick fires a fresh send_typing on schedule. As
long as any one of them reaches the platform within its ~5s
typing-expiry window, the bubble stays visible across the stall.
Also catches non-timeout send_typing exceptions (transient HTTP errors)
so one bad tick doesn't terminate the whole loop.
Tests: 4 new in tests/gateway/test_keep_typing_timeout.py covering
slow-send non-blocking, fast-send still-awaited, exception resilience,
and paused-chat regression guard.
* feat(tui): auto copy-on-select for transcript text
Drag in the transcript already highlighted but you had to press Cmd+C to
land it on the clipboard, and the highlight cleared on copy — most users
never realised selection existed. Now drag-release fires copySelectionNoClear
so the text is on the clipboard immediately while the highlight stays put,
matching iTerm2's "Copy to pasteboard on selection" default. Esc clears.
Behaviour:
- Single click in the input still positions the cursor (TextInput onClick).
- Single click in the transcript still does nothing destructive.
- Double / triple click select word / line, then drag extends.
- /copyselect [on|off|toggle] (alias /cos) flips the setting at runtime,
HERMES_TUI_DISABLE_COPY_ON_SELECT=1 disables at startup, persists via
display.tui_copy_on_select in config.yaml.
Help overlay now lists drag-select, multi-click, and click-to-position
so the gestures are discoverable.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): support prompt text selection gestures
Add mouse drag selection and Shift+Arrow/Home/End extension inside the TUI composer so prompt text behaves like a normal editable field while keeping click-to-position and right-click paste intact.
Made-with: Cursor
* Revert "feat(tui): auto copy-on-select for transcript text"
This reverts commit 6701288fe07a53af873e1ef53855a9618d733327.
* fix(tui): allow composer selection from prompt whitespace
Give the composer a one-cell mouse capture pad before the editable text. The prompt glyph/gutter still does not become selectable, but dragging from the edge now anchors at input offset 0 so users do not need to hit the first character precisely.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): clear selections from blank composer space
Clicking blank space in the transcript or composer now clears active TUI/input selections like a normal text surface. TextInput clicks stop bubbling so cursor placement and selection gestures keep their local behavior.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): delegate prompt gutter drags to composer text
The prompt gutter is now an input gesture region, not selectable content. Dragging from the whitespace or prompt area anchors the composer selection at offset 0, while selection highlight/copy remains limited to actual input text.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): move composer cursor to end on selection clear
External clear actions now collapse the composer selection to the end of the input, matching normal text-field behavior after dismissing a selection.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): capture composer padding before prompt
Add an explicit mouse capture cell over the left padding before the prompt glyph. Drags starting there now delegate to the composer input at offset 0 instead of starting terminal-level selection over the prompt chrome.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): avoid npm install on lockfile mtime churn
Compare package-lock.json against npm's hidden node_modules lock by content instead of mtimes. Git checkouts and npm lock rewrites can make the root lockfile newer even when installed dependencies already match, causing hermes --tui to print Installing TUI dependencies on every launch.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): include prompt leading cell in gesture region
Use the prompt box's real layout region to cover the leading whitespace cell before the glyph. The cell now participates in mouse hit testing and delegates to composer selection instead of starting terminal-level selection.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): widen prompt-side gesture capture band
Capture a wider left-side band around the composer prompt row so drags starting in terminal gutter/padding cells are consumed and delegated to input selection, instead of triggering terminal-level selection chrome.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): make pre-prompt spacer non-selectable content
Replace the sticky-prompt fallback `Text(' ')` with an empty spacer box so the visual gap remains but no literal space character is rendered/copyable before the composer prompt.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): capture pre-prompt spacer without shifting prompt layout
Revert the widened negative-margin prompt capture band and instead capture drags on the dedicated spacer row above the prompt. This keeps prompt/text alignment stable while still delegating whitespace-start drags to composer selection.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): align prompt with status bar and capture full input row
Drop the leading prompt column from 3 to 2 so the input first character lines up with the status bar text. Wrap the prompt+input row in a single mouse-capture box and stop event propagation from TextInput's own handlers so any drag in that row delegates to composer selection without leaking to terminal-level selection.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): anchor hardware cursor during composer selection
When a composer selection covers a row exactly the column width, the rendered text fills the row and the terminal auto-wraps the hardware cursor to col 0 of the next row, leaving a ghost block beneath the prompt. Park the cursor at the start of the input box during selection so it can't escape the input region.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): hide hardware cursor during composer selection
Stop fighting auto-wrap by hiding the hardware cursor outright while the
composer has an active selection. This prevents both the ghost block under
the prompt (cursor wrapping past the last cell) and the parked-cursor block
on the first selected character. The cursor restores as soon as the
selection clears or focus changes.
Made-with: Cursor
* chore(tui): /clean — drop dead capture-pad path, dedupe gutter handlers
- TextInput: remove unused leftCaptureColumns prop and capture-pad math, drop
unused mouseApi.startAt, fold mouse offset into a single offsetAt helper,
share a MouseEventLite type across the four handlers.
- appLayout: hoist a GutterMouseEvent type and an endInputDrag callback so the
spacer/prompt/input rows share one shape.
- _tui_need_npm_install: lift the runtime-only key set to a module constant,
collapse nested isinstance checks, and document the mtime fallback.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): address copilot review on PR #16732
- Split InputSelection.clear() into clear() (cursor-preserving) and
collapseToEnd() (clear + jump to end). Cmd+C copy paths keep using
clear() so the cursor stays put; the blank-area click in useMainApp
switches to collapseToEnd() to match the requested UX.
- Spacer-row drags now force row=0 when forwarding into the input,
since the spacer's vertical origin doesn't align with the input box
and Ink mouse-capture keeps dispatching motion to the original
target. Prompt+input row drag keeps localRow because origins match.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): give TextInput Box an explicit width
After the /clean pass dropped the unused capture-pad math, the wrapping
Box also lost its explicit width and started sizing to its rendered
content. Clicks past the last character missed TextInput and fell
through to the parent prompt-row Box, which collapsed the cursor to
offset 0. Pin the Box back to `columns` so the input owns its full
column span regardless of value length.
Made-with: Cursor
* feat(tui): double-click select-all + hide cursor on terminal blur
- Track click time/offset in TextInput so a quick second click on the
same offset triggers select-all. Ink's screen-level multi-click is
bypassed once our onMouseDown captures, so the gesture has to be
detected locally.
- Extend the cursor-hide effect to also fire when the terminal loses
focus, so the hollow-rect ghost most terminals draw at the parked
cursor position disappears too.
Made-with: Cursor
* chore(tui): /clean — extract isMultiClickAt helper
Pull the click-recurrence math out of TextInput's onMouseDown into a
small isMultiClickAt(offset) helper so the handler reads as the gesture
list it actually is (multi-click → select-all, otherwise start).
Drop the redundant length>0 guard now that selectAll() already noops on
an empty value.
Made-with: Cursor
* docs(tui): explain _tui_need_npm_install content-vs-mtime comparison
Expand the docstring so future readers understand why we parse the
lockfiles instead of comparing mtimes, what the optional/peer skip
covers, how stale hidden-lock entries are handled, and when we fall
back to mtime.
Same layering concern as the persisted-assistant scrub already removed:
_emit_interim_assistant_message and the final_response return path were
mutating model output broadly. Streaming scrubber covers real leaks
delta-by-delta; these post-stream scrubs were redundant.
Reviewer pushback on the original boundary-hardening commits — three
overreach points pulled plugin-specific policy into shared core paths:
1. gateway/run.py hardcoded a '## Honcho Context' literal split for
vision-LLM output. Plugin-format heading in framework code; could
truncate legitimate output naturally containing that header.
Drop the literal split; keep generic sanitize_context (the wrapper
strip is plugin-agnostic). Plugin-specific cleanup belongs at the
provider boundary, not the shared gateway path.
2. run_agent.run_conversation scrubbed user_message and
persist_user_message before the conversation loop. User text is
sacred — if a user types a literal <memory-context> tag we must
not silently delete it. The producer (build_memory_context_block)
is the only legitimate emitter; user input should never need the
reverse op.
3. _build_assistant_message scrubbed model output before persistence.
Same hazard: would silently mutate legitimate documentation/code
the model emits containing the literal markers. The streaming
scrubber catches real leaks delta-by-delta before content is
concatenated; persist-time scrub was redundant belt-and-suspenders.
4. _fire_stream_delta stripped leading newlines from every delta unless
a paragraph break flag was set. Mid-stream '\n' is legitimate
markdown — lists, code fences, paragraph breaks — and chunk
boundaries are arbitrary. Narrow lstrip to the very first delta
of the stream only (so stale provider preamble still gets cleaned
on turn start, but mid-stream formatting survives).
Plus: build_memory_context_block now logs a warning when its defensive
sanitize_context strips something — surfaces buggy providers returning
pre-wrapped text instead of silently double-fencing.
Net architectural change: scrub surface collapses from 8 sites to 3
(StreamingContextScrubber on output deltas, plugin→backend send,
build_memory_context_block input-validation). Plugin-specific strings
stay out of shared runtime paths. User input and persisted assistant
output are no longer mutated.
Tests: rescoped TestMemoryContextSanitization (helper-correctness only,
no source-inspection of removed call sites), updated vision tests to
drop '## Honcho Context' literal-split assertions, updated
_build_assistant_message persistence test to assert preservation.
Added: cross-turn scrubber reset, build_memory_context_block warn-on-
violation, mid-stream newline preservation (plain + code fence).
Closed PR #5137 addressed the retrieval path (peer cards via get_card()
instead of the session-scoped lookup that returned empty for per-session
messaging flows) — that architectural fix is already in main as
_fetch_peer_card / _fetch_peer_context.
What never got fixed is the user-visible side: honcho_profile returning
a flat 'No profile facts available yet.' leaves the model to guess at
why. The model then often surfaces it to the user as a cryptic error.
Adds a diagnostic hint next to the existing 'result' message, enumerating
the likely causes in rough order of frequency:
1. Observation disabled for this peer (user_observe_me/others off)
2. Peer card hasn't accumulated yet (fresh peer / dialectic cadence
hasn't fired enough turns — cards build over time)
3. Generic fallback: self-hosted Honcho < 3.x lacks peer cards
The hint also suggests alternative tools (honcho_reasoning / honcho_search)
so the model can route around the empty card rather than giving up.
Schema description updated so the model knows the hint field exists and
that an empty card is NOT an error state.
7 tests cover the hint paths: warmup, observation-disabled for user + ai,
generic fallback, populated card still returns plain result (no hint),
alternative-tool suggestion present.
The scheme-validation commit (e77a3f2c) was too strict: a user with
legacy ''baseUrl: localhost:8000'' (no ''http://'' prefix) in their
''~/.honcho/config.json'' would get ''No API key configured'' from the
CLI after that change, even though their setup worked before.
urlparse on a schemeless host:port treats the host segment as the
scheme and leaves netloc empty, so the http/https check rejected it.
Falls back to a lenient check for schemeless strings that look like
hosts: contain '.' or ':', aren't a boolean/null literal, aren't pure
digits. The SDK still rejects truly malformed URLs at connect time
with a clearer error than ours.
Three new tests: legacy schemeless hosts accepted; obvious garbage
literals (''true'', ''null'', ''12345'') still rejected. Reviewer
noted concern #1: schemeless regression for self-hosters with old
configs.
Two small follow-ups to the PR review:
- Hoist hashlib import from _enforce_session_id_limit() to module top.
stdlib imports are free after first cache, but keeping all imports at
module top matches the rest of the codebase.
- _resolve_api_key now URL-parses baseUrl and requires http/https +
non-empty netloc before returning the 'local' sentinel. A typo like
baseUrl: 'true' (or bare 'localhost') no longer silently passes the
credential guard; the CLI correctly reports 'not configured'.
Three new tests cover the new validation (garbage strings, non-http
schemes, valid https).
fixes#5719
The auxiliary vision LLM called by gateway._enrich_message_with_vision
can echo its injected Honcho system prompt back into the image
description. That description gets embedded verbatim into the enriched
user message, so recalled memory (personal facts, dialectic output)
surfaces into a user-visible bubble.
Strips both forms of leak before embedding:
- <memory-context>...</memory-context> fenced blocks (sanitize_context)
- trailing '## Honcho Context' sections (header + everything after)
Plus regression tests:
- tests/agent/test_streaming_context_scrubber.py — 13 tests on the
stateful scrubber (whole block, split tags, false-positive partial
tags, unterminated span, reset, case-insensitivity)
- tests/run_agent/test_run_agent_codex_responses.py — 2 new tests on
_fire_stream_delta covering the realistic 7-chunk leak scenario and
the cross-turn scrubber reset
- tests/gateway/test_vision_memory_leak.py — 4 tests covering the
vision auto-analysis boundary (clean pass-through, '## Honcho Context'
header, fenced block, both patterns together)
When no explicit timeout is configured (HonchoClientConfig.timeout,
honcho.timeout / requestTimeout, or HONCHO_TIMEOUT), get_honcho_client
previously constructed the SDK with no timeout kwarg, letting the
underlying httpx client hang indefinitely if the Honcho backend
became unreachable mid-request.
This is a silent-failure hazard on the post-response path of
run_conversation: the memory_manager.sync_all() / queue_prefetch_all()
calls fire after the agent has already generated its final reply, so
a stalled Honcho request blocks run_conversation from returning.
The gateway never logs "response ready" and never delivers the
response to the platform (Telegram, etc.), even though the text is
already saved to the session file.
Repro: unplug the network or block app.honcho.dev mid-turn after
the model has produced its final message. Without this change,
_run_agent never returns. With it, the call aborts after 30s,
run_conversation returns, and the gateway delivers the response
(Honcho sync failure is logged and swallowed as before).
The default applies only when nothing is configured, so any
deployment that has explicitly set timeout / HONCHO_TIMEOUT /
honcho.timeout / honcho.requestTimeout keeps its existing value.
Self-hosted deployments that genuinely need a longer ceiling can
still override via any of those knobs.
_resolve_api_key() only checks for apiKey / HONCHO_API_KEY, so all
CLI subcommands (identity --show, status, migrate, etc.) bail with
"No API key configured" on self-hosted instances that use baseUrl
without an API key.
Return "local" when baseUrl or HONCHO_BASE_URL is set, matching the
client.py behavior that already handles this case for the SDK.
Tested on: macOS, self-hosted Honcho (Docker, localhost:8000).
Gateway session keys (Matrix "!room:server" + thread event IDs, Telegram
supergroup reply chains, Slack thread IDs with long workspace prefixes) can
exceed Honcho's 100-character session ID limit after sanitization. Every
Honcho API call for those sessions then 400s with "session_id too long".
Add a helper that enforces the 100-char limit after sanitization:
short keys (the common case) short-circuit unchanged; over-limit keys
keep a prefix and append a deterministic `-<8 hex>` SHA-256 suffix over
the original key so two long keys sharing a leading segment can't
collide onto the same truncated ID.
Adds 7 regression tests in tests/honcho_plugin/test_client.py covering
short / exact-limit / long / deterministic / collision-resistant /
allowlist-preserving / hash-suffix-present cases.
When a gateway drives Hermes (Telegram, Discord, Slack, ...), it passes the
platform-native user ID as ``runtime_user_peer_name`` into the Honcho
session manager. That ID wins over ``peer_name`` in ``honcho.json``, so a
single user who connects over three platforms ends up as three separate
Honcho peers — one per platform — with fragmented memory and no cross-
platform context continuity.
For multi-user bots this is correct (and must not change): each user gets
their own peer scope. For the vast majority of personal Hermes deployments
the configured ``peer_name`` is an unambiguous identity, though, so the
reporter asked for an opt-in knob that pins the user peer to that value.
Fix: new ``pinPeerName`` boolean on the host config, default ``false``.
When ``true`` AND ``peerName`` is set, the configured peer_name beats the
gateway's runtime identity; every other resolution case is unchanged.
honcho.json:
{
"peerName": "Igor",
"hosts": {
"hermes": { "pinPeerName": true }
}
}
session.py (resolution order, pinned case):
runtime_user_peer_name → skipped (opt-in flag active)
config.peer_name → WINS "Igor"
session-key fallback → unreached
Parsing follows the same host-block-overrides-root pattern as every other
flag in HonchoClientConfig.from_global_config (``_resolve_bool`` helper).
Tests (tests/honcho_plugin/test_pin_peer_name.py — 13 cases, 5 groups):
- Config parsing: default, root true, host-block true, host overrides
root, explicit false.
- Peer resolution: runtime wins by default (regression guard for multi-
user bots), config wins when pinned, pin-without-peer_name is a no-op
(prevents silent peer-id collapse to session-key fallback), CLI path
where runtime is absent, deepest fallback intact, assistant peer
untouched by the flag.
- Cross-platform unification: Telegram UID + Discord snowflake collapse
to one peer when pinned; negative control confirms two distinct
runtime IDs still produce two peers when unpinned.
244 honcho_plugin tests pass, 3 pre-existing skips, zero regressions.
Defensive detail: session.py uses ``getattr(self._config, "pin_peer_name",
False)`` so callers building partial config objects (several test fixtures
across the codebase do this) don't break if they haven't updated yet.
Runtime cost: one attr lookup per new session.

* fix: bypass FTS5 for CJK queries in session_search
FTS5 default tokenizer splits CJK characters into individual tokens,
so multi-character queries like "大别山项目" become AND of single chars.
This produces few/no results compared to LIKE substring search.
For CJK queries, skip FTS5 entirely and use LIKE for accurate
phrase matching.
Fixes NousResearch/hermes-agent#15500
* fix: cache _contains_cjk, escape LIKE wildcards, add regression tests
On top of the CJK FTS5 bypass from #15509:
- Cache _contains_cjk() result in a local var to avoid redundant O(n)
scans on every CJK query
- Escape %, _ in LIKE queries so literal wildcards in user input are
not treated as SQL wildcards (consistent with other LIKE queries in
hermes_state.py that use ESCAPE '\')
- Fix misleading comment ('or CJK fallback' → accurate description)
- Add 3 regression tests:
- test_cjk_partial_fts5_results_supplemented_by_like (#15500 / #14829)
- test_cjk_like_dedup_no_duplicates
- test_cjk_like_escapes_wildcards (new wildcard escaping)
* feat: trigram FTS5 index for CJK search, replace LIKE fallback
Replace the LIKE '%query%' full-table-scan fallback for CJK queries with
a proper trigram FTS5 index (messages_fts_trigram). The trigram tokenizer
creates overlapping 3-byte sequences so substring matching works natively
for any script — CJK, Thai, etc.
For queries with 3+ CJK characters: uses the trigram FTS5 table with
proper ranking, snippets, and indexed lookups. For shorter queries
(1-2 CJK chars): falls back to LIKE since the trigram tokenizer needs
≥9 UTF-8 bytes (3 CJK chars) minimum.
Schema v10 migration creates the trigram table and backfills existing
messages. Triggers keep the index in sync on INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE.
Builds on top of #16276 (bypass FTS5 for CJK, escape LIKE wildcards).

Distinguish missing model from unsupported model before enabling fast mode and cover both cases so config and live agent state remain untouched on invalid fast toggles.
Match classic CLI parity by refusing to enable fast mode when the active model cannot produce fast request overrides, avoiding a misleading fast status with no runtime effect.
Make `config.set fast status` read-only and keep live agent request overrides in sync with fast-mode toggles so runtime API kwargs match the selected mode.
Harden busy mode config reads against invalid display config shapes and align /fast help+usage text with accepted aliases, with regression coverage for non-dict display values.
Route /browser, /reload-mcp, /rollback, /stop, /fast, and /busy through direct TUI RPC handlers so state changes hit the live gateway session instead of slash-worker fallback. Add TUI session finalize/reset parity hooks (memory commit + plugin boundaries) and parity matrix tests to keep mutating commands off fallback.
Handle queued-title ValueError cleanup during session init, harden Discord message source building for test stubs, and fix the Dockerfile contract test syntax error. Also refresh the TUI lockfile and Nix build flags so nix ubuntu-latest no longer fails on npm lock/peer resolution drift.
Retry queued pending titles even when the DB already has a non-empty title so explicit user title intents are not silently lost (for example after auto-title). Includes regression coverage.
Tighten pending-title flush during session init and treat row lookup failures during title-set no-op detection as RPC errors instead of silently queueing.
Handle session.title read failures without crashing, distinguish no-op title writes from missing session rows, and use a distinct empty-title error code with regression coverage.
- create HERMES_TUI_ACTIVE_SESSION_FILE with mkstemp instead of a predictable tmp path and always cleanup in finally
- add assertions that launch wiring uses a randomized session file path and removes it on exit
- use a grouped last_active join in search_sessions to avoid per-row correlated max lookups
- always close SessionDB in _resolve_last_session via finally and add regression coverage for search failure cleanup
- order session listing by computed last_active in SessionDB so callers get MRU rows directly
- keep _resolve_last_session as a single-row lookup and add regression coverage for >20 session sampling
Route TUI /title through session.title RPC and queue titles when the session DB row is still initializing, so renamed sessions reliably appear in /resume and browse flows.
Thread a vision-request flag through auxiliary provider resolution so Copilot clients can include Copilot-Vision-Request only for vision tasks. This preserves normal text requests while ensuring Copilot vision payloads reach the vision-capable route.
Add regression coverage for Copilot vision routing and keep cached text and vision clients separate so a text client without the header is not reused for vision.

* fix: clean gateway auxiliary client caches on teardown
* fix(gateway): recover from stale pid files and close cron agents
Two issues were keeping the gateway from surviving long runs:
1. `_cleanup_invalid_pid_path` delegated to `remove_pid_file`, which
refuses to unlink when the file's pid differs from our own. That
safety check exists for the --replace atexit handoff, but it also
applied to stale-record cleanup, so after a crashy exit the pid
file was orphaned: `write_pid_file()`'s O_EXCL create then failed
with `FileExistsError`, and systemd looped on "PID file race lost
to another gateway instance". Unlink unconditionally from this
helper since the caller has already verified the record is dead.
2. The cron scheduler never closed the ephemeral `AIAgent` it creates
per tick, and never swept the process-global auxiliary-client
cache. Over days of 10-minute ticks this leaked subprocesses and
async httpx transports until the gateway hit EMFILE. Release the
agent and call `cleanup_stale_async_clients()` in `run_job`'s
outer `finally`, matching the gateway's own per-turn cleanup.
* chore(release): map bloodcarter@gmail.com -> bloodcarter

The backup takes a consistent snapshot of each .db via sqlite3.backup(),
so shipping the live .db-wal / .db-shm / .db-journal alongside pairs the
fresh snapshot with stale sidecar state and produces a torn restore on
first open. Sidecars are transient and SQLite regenerates them on next
connection anyway.
This also trims multi-MB of junk from every zip — state.db-wal alone was
~9 MB here, doubled by the fact the WAL is the live write-ahead log, not
data.
PR #13734 fixed the concurrent-tool-executor vector (ThreadPoolExecutor
workers didn't inherit the CLI's TLS approval callback). Two vectors
remained that could still land in the deadlocking input() fallback:
1. _spawn_background_review spawns a raw threading.Thread with no
approval callback installed, so any dangerous-command guard the
review agent trips falls back to input() -> deadlock against the
parent's prompt_toolkit TUI (same class as delegate_task subagents,
fixed in 023b1bff1 / #15491). Install a _bg_review_auto_deny
callback at thread start, clear on finally.
2. prompt_dangerous_approval's fallback unconditionally spawned a
daemon thread calling input() when approval_callback was None.
That fallback can never succeed under prompt_toolkit because the
user's Enter goes to pt's raw-mode stdin capture. Detect an active
pt Application via get_app_or_none() and fail closed (deny + log)
instead, so future threads that forget to install a callback
degrade gracefully instead of hanging 60s invisibly.
Regression guards:
- tests/run_agent/test_background_review.py verifies the review
worker thread sees a callable auto-deny callback mid-run and that
the slot is cleared in the finally block.
- tests/tools/test_approval.py TestFailClosedUnderPromptToolkit
verifies prompt_dangerous_approval returns 'deny' fast under a
mocked pt Application, and that a real callback still wins over
the guard.
The background skill/memory review agent was created without toolset
restrictions, inheriting the full default tool set. This allowed it to
use terminal, send_message, delegate_task, and other tools outside its
intended scope, potentially performing unrelated side effects after
skill creation.
Restrict the review agent to only memory and skills toolsets by passing
enabled_toolsets=['memory', 'skills'] during AIAgent construction.
Fixes#15204
The gateway fix in the previous commit forwards _session_messages on
gateway session teardown. The CLI exit cleanup path had the same bug:
it read getattr(agent, 'conversation_history', None) or [] — but AIAgent
has no conversation_history attribute, so providers always received [].
Switch to _session_messages (same attribute the gateway now uses),
guarded by isinstance(..., list) to preserve the no-arg fallback for
MagicMock-based CLI test stubs.
Adds tests/cli/test_cli_shutdown_memory_messages.py (4 cases mirroring
the gateway suite).
``_cleanup_agent_resources`` previously invoked
``agent.shutdown_memory_provider()`` with no arguments, so every memory
provider's ``on_session_end`` hook received an empty list. Providers
with an early-return guard on empty input (Holographic, Hindsight) never
extracted facts from the conversation, and users hit
"抱歉，找不到相關的對話記錄" on the first turn after any gateway
restart, session reset, or idle expiry.
Forward ``agent._session_messages`` — the transcript the agent itself
maintains and refreshes every turn via ``_persist_session`` — so
providers see the actual conversation. Falls back to the legacy no-arg
call whenever the attribute is absent or not a list (test stubs built
via ``object.__new__`` or ``MagicMock``) to preserve backward
compatibility with existing suites. ``AIAgent.shutdown_memory_provider``
already accepts ``messages: list = None`` (run_agent.py:4126), so this
is a pure caller-side fix.
Paths that use ``skip_memory=True`` temporary agents (memory flush,
hygiene auto-compress, ``/compress``) are no-ops inside
``shutdown_memory_provider`` because ``self._memory_manager`` is None —
no behaviour change for them.
Covers Part A of the bug report. Part B (adding ``on_session_end`` to
the Hindsight plugin) is a separate concern that would benefit from
this fix landing first.
Regression test added at
``tests/gateway/test_shutdown_memory_provider_messages.py`` covering:
populated messages forwarded, empty list still forwarded, attribute
missing falls back, non-list (MagicMock) falls back, provider
exceptions don't block ``close()``, None agent no-op, and agent
without ``shutdown_memory_provider`` tolerated.

Session-local trajectory cache — keyed by session hash, regenerated
per-session, won't port to another machine anyway. On a large install
this was multiple GB of pure noise in every zip.
Also adds a regression test for the pre-existing backups/ exclusion
so the two machine-local dirs share coverage.
The zip backup could add minutes to every 'hermes update' on large
HERMES_HOME directories. Flip the default to off and add a --backup
flag for one-off opt-in runs.
- updates.pre_update_backup default: True -> False
- hermes update: new --backup flag (opposite of existing --no-backup)
- Silent no-op when disabled (no message spam on every update)
- Existing --no-backup still works and wins over --backup
- Users who explicitly set pre_update_backup: true keep the old behavior
- Tests updated to cover default-off, --backup opt-in, and config-enabled paths
* feat(image-input): native multimodal routing based on model vision capability
Attach user-sent images as OpenAI-style content parts on the user turn when
the active model supports native vision, so vision-capable models see real
pixels instead of a lossy text description from vision_analyze.
Routing decision (agent/image_routing.py::decide_image_input_mode):
agent.image_input_mode = auto | native | text (default: auto)
In auto mode:
- If auxiliary.vision.provider/model is explicitly configured, keep the
text pipeline (user paid for a dedicated vision backend).
- Else if models.dev reports supports_vision=True for the active
provider/model, attach natively.
- Else fall back to text (current behaviour).
Call sites updated: gateway/run.py (all messaging platforms), tui_gateway
(dashboard/Ink), cli.py (interactive /attach + drag-drop).
run_agent.py changes:
- _prepare_anthropic_messages_for_api now passes image parts through
unchanged when the model supports vision — the Anthropic adapter
translates them to native image blocks. Previous behaviour
(vision_analyze → text) only runs for non-vision Anthropic models.
- New _prepare_messages_for_non_vision_model mirrors the same contract
for chat.completions and codex_responses paths, so non-vision models
on any provider get text-fallback instead of failing at the provider.
- New _model_supports_vision() helper reads models.dev caps.
vision_analyze description rewritten: positions it as a tool for images
NOT already visible in the conversation (URLs, tool output, deeper
inspection). Prevents the model from redundantly calling it on images
already attached natively.
Config default: agent.image_input_mode = auto.
Tests: 35 new (test_image_routing.py + test_vision_aware_preprocessing.py),
all existing tests that reference _prepare_anthropic_messages_for_api
still pass (198 targeted + new tests green).
* feat(image-input): size-cap + resize oversized images, charge image tokens in compressor
Two follow-ups that make the native image routing safer for long / heavy
sessions:
1) Oversize handling in build_native_content_parts:
- 20 MB ceiling per image (matches vision_tools._MAX_BASE64_BYTES,
the most restrictive provider — Gemini inline data).
- Delegates to vision_tools._resize_image_for_vision (Pillow-based,
already battle-tested) to downscale to 5 MB first-try.
- If Pillow is missing or resize still overshoots, the image is
dropped and reported back in skipped[]; caller falls back to text
enrichment for that image.
2) Image-token accounting in context_compressor:
- New _IMAGE_TOKEN_ESTIMATE = 1600 (matches Claude Code's constant;
within the realistic range for Anthropic/GPT-4o/Gemini billing).
- _content_length_for_budget() helper: sums text-part lengths and
charges _IMAGE_CHAR_EQUIVALENT (1600 * 4 chars) per image/image_url/
input_image part. Base64 payload inside image_url is NOT counted
as chars — dimensions don't matter, only image-presence.
- Both tail-cut sites (_prune_old_tool_results L527 and
_find_tail_cut_by_tokens L1126) now call the helper so multi-image
conversations don't slip past compression budget.
Tests: 9 new in test_image_routing.py (oversize triggers resize,
resize-fails-returns-None, oversize-skipped-reported), 11 new in
test_compressor_image_tokens.py (flat charge per image, multiple images,
Responses-API / Anthropic-native / OpenAI-chat shapes, no-inflation on
raw base64, bounds-check on the constant, integration test that an
image-heavy tail actually gets trimmed).
* fix(image-input): replace blanket 20MB ceiling with empirically-verified per-provider limits
The previous commit imposed a hardcoded 20 MB base64 ceiling on all
providers, triggering auto-resize on anything larger. This was wrong in
both directions:
* Too loose for Anthropic — actual limit is 5 MB (returns HTTP 400
'image exceeds 5 MB maximum' above that).
* Too strict for OpenAI / Codex / OpenRouter — accept 49 MB+ without
complaint (empirically verified April 2026 with progressive PNG
sizes).
New behaviour:
* _PROVIDER_BASE64_CEILING table: only anthropic and bedrock have a
ceiling (5 MB, since bedrock-on-Claude shares Anthropic's decoder).
* Providers NOT in the table get no ceiling — images attach at native
size and we trust the provider to return its own error if it
disagrees. A provider-specific 400 message is clearer than us
guessing wrong and silently degrading image quality.
* build_native_content_parts() gains a keyword-only provider arg;
gateway/CLI/TUI pass the active provider so Anthropic users get
auto-resize protection while OpenAI users don't pay it.
* Resize target dropped from 5 MB to 4 MB to slide safely under
Anthropic's boundary with header overhead.
Empirical measurements (direct API, no Hermes in the loop):
image b64 anthropic openrouter/gpt5.5 codex-oauth/gpt5.5
0.19 MB ✓ ✓ ✓
12.37 MB ✗ 400 5MB ✓ ✓
23.85 MB ✗ 400 5MB ✓ ✓
49.46 MB ✗ 413 ✓ ✓
Tests: rewrote TestOversizeHandling (5 tests): no-ceiling pass-through,
Anthropic resize fires, Anthropic skip on resize-fail, build_native_parts
routes ceiling by provider, unknown provider gets no ceiling. All 52
targeted tests pass.
* refactor(image-input): attempt native, shrink-and-retry on provider reject
Replace proactive per-provider size ceilings with a reactive shrink path
on the provider's actual rejection. All providers now attempt native
full-size attachment first; if the provider returns an image-too-large
error, the agent silently shrinks and retries once.
Why the previous design was wrong: hardcoding provider ceilings
(anthropic=5MB, others=unlimited) meant OpenAI users on a 10MB image
paid no tax, but Anthropic users lost quality on anything >5MB even
though the empirical behaviour at provider-reject time is the same
(shrink + retry). Baking the table into the routing layer also
requires updating Hermes every time a provider's limit changes.
Reactive design:
- image_routing.py: _file_to_data_url encodes native size, no ceiling.
build_native_content_parts drops its provider kwarg.
- error_classifier.py: new FailoverReason.image_too_large + pattern
match ("image exceeds", "image too large", etc.) checked BEFORE
context_overflow so Anthropic's 5MB rejection lands in the right
bucket.
- run_agent.py: new _try_shrink_image_parts_in_messages walks api
messages in-place, re-encodes oversized data: URL image parts
through vision_tools._resize_image_for_vision to fit under 4MB,
handles both chat.completions (dict image_url) and Responses
(string image_url) shapes, ignores http URLs (provider-fetched).
New image_shrink_retry_attempted flag in the retry loop fires the
shrink exactly once per turn after credential-pool recovery but
before auth retries.
E2E verified live against Anthropic claude-sonnet-4-6:
- 17.9MB PNG (23.9MB b64) attached at native size
- Anthropic returns 400 "image exceeds 5 MB maximum"
- Agent logs '📐 Image(s) exceeded provider size limit — shrank and
retrying...'
- Retry succeeds, correct response delivered in 6.8s total.
Tests: 12 new (8 shrink-helper shapes + 4 classifier signals),
replaces 5 proactive-ceiling tests with 3 simpler 'native attach works'
tests. 181 targeted tests pass. test_enum_members_exist in
test_error_classifier.py updated for the new enum value.
* feat(plugins): google_meet — bundled plugin for join+transcribe Meet calls
v1 shipping transcribe-only. Spawns headless Chromium via Playwright,
joins an explicit https://meet.google.com/ URL, enables live captions,
and scrapes them into a transcript file the agent can read across turns.
The agent then has the meeting content in context and can do followup
work (send recap, file issues, schedule followups) with its regular tools.
Surface:
- Tools: meet_join, meet_status, meet_transcript, meet_leave, meet_say
(meet_say is a v1 stub — returns not-implemented; v2 will wire
realtime duplex audio via OpenAI Realtime / Gemini Live +
BlackHole / PulseAudio null-sink.)
- CLI: hermes meet setup | auth | join | status | transcript | stop
- Lifecycle: on_session_end auto-leaves any still-running bot.
Safety:
- URL regex rejects anything that isn't https://meet.google.com/...
- No calendar scanning, no auto-dial, no auto-consent announcement.
- Single active meeting per install; a second meet_join leaves the first.
- Platform-gated to Linux + macOS (Windows audio routing for v2 untested).
- Opt-in: standalone plugin, user must add 'google_meet' to
plugins.enabled in config.yaml.
Zero core changes. Plugin uses existing register_tool /
register_cli_command / register_hook surfaces. 21 new unit tests cover the
URL safety gate, transcript dedup + status round-trip, process-manager
refusals/start/stop paths, tool-handler JSON shape under each branch,
session-end cleanup, and platform-gated register().
* feat(plugins/google_meet): v2 realtime audio + v3 remote node host
v2 \u2014 agent speaks in-meeting
audio_bridge.py: PulseAudio null-sink (Linux) + BlackHole probe (macOS).
On Linux we load pactl module-null-sink + module-virtual-source, track
module ids for teardown; Chrome gets PULSE_SOURCE=<virt src> env so its
fake mic reads what we write to the sink. macOS just probes BlackHole
2ch and returns its device name \u2014 the plugin refuses to switch the
user's default audio input (that would surprise them).
realtime/openai_client.py: sync WebSocket client for the OpenAI Realtime
API. RealtimeSession.speak(text) sends conversation.item.create +
response.create, accumulates response.audio.delta PCM bytes, appends
them to a file. RealtimeSpeaker runs a JSONL-queue loop consuming
meet_say calls. 'websockets' is an optional dep imported lazily.
meet_bot.py: when HERMES_MEET_MODE=realtime, provisions AudioBridge,
starts RealtimeSession + speaker thread, spawns paplay to pump PCM
into the null-sink, then cleans everything up on SIGTERM. If any
realtime setup step fails, falls back cleanly to transcribe mode
with an error flagged in status.json.
process_manager.enqueue_say(): writes a JSONL line to say_queue.jsonl;
refuses when no active meeting or active meeting is transcribe-only.
tools.meet_say: real implementation; requires active mode='realtime'.
meet_join: adds mode='transcribe'|'realtime' param.
v3 \u2014 remote node host
node/protocol.py: JSON envelope (type, id, token, payload) + validate.
node/registry.py: $HERMES_HOME/workspace/meetings/nodes.json, with
resolve() auto-selecting the sole registered node when name is None.
node/server.py: NodeServer \u2014 websockets.serve, bearer-token auth,
dispatches start_bot/stop/status/transcript/say/ping onto the local
process_manager. Token auto-generated + persisted on first run.
node/client.py: NodeClient \u2014 short-lived sync WS per RPC, raises
RuntimeError on error envelopes, clean API matching the server.
node/cli.py: 'hermes meet node {run,list,approve,remove,status,ping}'
subtree; wired into the main meet CLI by cli.py so 'hermes meet node'
Just Works.
tools.py: every meet_* tool accepts node='<name>'|'auto'; when set,
routes through NodeClient to the remote bot instead of running
locally. Unknown node \u2192 clear 'no registered meet node matches ...'
error.
cli.py: 'hermes meet join --node my-mac --mode realtime' and
'hermes meet say "..." --node my-mac' route to the node; 'hermes
meet node approve <name> <url> <token>' registers one.
Tests
21 v1 tests updated (meet_say is no longer a stub; active-record now
carries mode).
20 new audio_bridge + realtime tests.
42 new node tests (protocol/registry/server/client/cli).
17 new v1/v2/v3 integration tests at the plugin level covering
enqueue_say edge cases, env var passthrough, mode validation, node
routing (known/unknown/auto/ambiguous), and argparse wiring for
`hermes meet say` + `hermes meet node` + --mode/--node flags.
Total: 100 plugin tests + 58 plugin-system tests = 158 passing.
E2E verified on Linux with fresh HERMES_HOME: plugin loads, 5 tools
register, on_session_end hook wires, 'hermes meet' CLI tree wires
including the node subtree, NodeRegistry round-trips, meet_join routes
correctly to NodeClient under node='my-mac' with mode='realtime',
enqueue_say accepts realtime/rejects transcribe, argparse parses every
new flag cleanly.
Zero changes to core. All new code lives under plugins/google_meet/.
* feat(plugins/google_meet): auto-install, admission detect, mac PCM pump, barge-in, richer status
Ready-for-live-test follow-up on PR #16364. Five additions that matter for
the first live run on a real Meet, in priority order:
1. hermes meet install [--realtime] [--yes]
pip install playwright websockets + python -m playwright install chromium
--realtime: installs platform audio deps (pulseaudio-utils on Linux via
sudo apt, blackhole-2ch + ffmpeg on macOS via brew). Prompts before
sudo/brew unless --yes. Refuses on Windows. Refuses to auto-flip the
macOS default input — user still selects BlackHole in System Settings
(deliberate; surprise audio rerouting is worse than a manual step).
2. Admission detection
_detect_admission(page): Leave-button visible OR caption region
attached OR participants list present → we're in-call.
_detect_denied(page): 'You can\'t join this video call' / 'You were
removed' / 'No one responded to your request' → bail out.
HERMES_MEET_LOBBY_TIMEOUT (default 300s) caps how long we sit in
the lobby before giving up. in_call stays False until admitted.
Status surfaces leaveReason: duration_expired | lobby_timeout |
denied | page_closed.
3. macOS PCM pump
ffmpeg reads speaker.pcm (24kHz s16le mono) and writes to the
BlackHole AVFoundation output via -f audiotoolbox
-audio_device_index <N>. _mac_audio_device_index() probes
ffmpeg -f avfoundation -list_devices true to resolve 'BlackHole 2ch'
→ numeric index. Falls back to index 0 on probe failure. Linux
paplay pump unchanged.
4. Richer status dict
_BotState now tracks realtime, realtimeReady, realtimeDevice,
audioBytesOut, lastAudioOutAt, lastBargeInAt, joinAttemptedAt,
leaveReason. RealtimeSession.audio_bytes_out / last_audio_out_at
counters fold into the status file once a second so meet_status()
can show the agent's voice activity in near-real-time.
5. Barge-in
RealtimeSession.cancel_response() sends type='response.cancel' over
the same WS (lock-guarded so it's safe to call from the caption
thread while speak() is reading frames). Handles response.cancelled
as a terminal frame type. _looks_like_human_speaker() gates triggers
so the bot's own name, 'You', 'Unknown', and blanks don't self-cancel.
Called from the caption drain loop: when a new caption arrives
attributed to a real participant while rt.session exists, we fire
cancel_response() and stamp lastBargeInAt.
Tests: 20 new unit tests across _BotState telemetry, barge-in gating,
admission/denied probe error handling, cancel_response with and without
a connected WS, and `hermes meet install` CLI wiring (flag parsing +
end-to-end subprocess.run verification + Linux-already-installed fast
path). Total 171 passing across all google_meet test files + the
plugin-system regression suite.
E2E verified on Linux: plugin loads, all 5 tools register,
`hermes meet install --realtime --yes` parses, fresh-bot status.json
has every new telemetry key, cancel_response on a disconnected session
returns False without raising, barge-in helper gates the bot's own
name correctly.
Still out of scope (for a future PR, not blocking live test):
mic → Realtime duplex (the agent listening to meeting audio via
WebRTC), node-host TLS/pairing UX, Windows audio, Meet create+Twilio.
Docs updated: SKILL.md now lists the installer subcommand, lobby
timeout, barge-in caveat, and the full status-dict reference table.
README.md quick-start uses hermes meet install.
Every 'hermes update' now runs a full backup of ~/.hermes/ first, so
users can always roll back to the exact state they had before the
update if anything goes wrong (corrupted sessions.db, broken skills,
config migrations that don't round-trip, etc.).
Changes:
- hermes_cli/backup.py: new create_pre_update_backup() helper. Writes
to <HERMES_HOME>/backups/pre-update-<stamp>.zip using the same
exclusion rules and SQLite safe-copy as 'hermes backup'. Auto-rotates
(keep last N, pre-update-*.zip only — hand-dropped zips in backups/
are untouched). Adds 'backups' to _EXCLUDED_DIRS so subsequent backups
don't nest prior ones.
- hermes_cli/main.py: _run_pre_update_backup() wired into
_cmd_update_impl before any git operation. Prints save path, restore
command, and how to disable. Swallows failures so a broken backup
never blocks the update itself. New --no-backup flag on 'hermes
update' for one-off override.
- hermes_cli/config.py: new 'updates' section in DEFAULT_CONFIG with
pre_update_backup (default true) and backup_keep (default 5).
Auto-surfaces in the dashboard config UI.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_backup.py: +11 tests covering backup location,
content parity with 'hermes backup', no-recursion, rotation, manual
file preservation, config gate, --no-backup flag, flag-wins-over-config.
The CLI renders through prompt_toolkit in non-full-screen mode, so every
repaint uses the renderer's tracked _cursor_pos.y to cursor_up() + erase
before drawing the new frame. Any time that tracked position drifts from
terminal reality, redraws stack on top of stale content instead of
overwriting it. Four user-visible bugs share this root cause.
Fixes:
- #5474 (SIGWINCH ghosts): the resize wrapper previously only handled
column-shrink reflow. Generalize it to force a full screen-clear
(erase_screen + cursor_goto(0,0)) and renderer.reset() on every resize
— covers widen, row-shrink, and multiplexer SIGWINCH-less redraws.
- #8688 (cmux/tmux tab switch): no SIGWINCH fires on focus regain, so
prompt_toolkit has no signal to recover. Add a _force_full_redraw()
helper, bound to Ctrl+L (standard bash/zsh/vim convention) and exposed
as /redraw. Users can manually clear drift without restarting Hermes.
- #14692 (DSR response leaks — ^[[53;1R): resize storms make
prompt_toolkit's CSI 6n queries race past the input parser; the
terminal's reply ends up as literal input text. Add a sibling of the
bracketed-paste sanitizer that strips \x1b[<row>;<col>R and the
caret-escape visible form from paste text, buffer text-filter, and
the input-processing loop.
The idle-redraw removal (#12641) is in the preceding commit from
@foxion37 — keeping them as separate commits preserves attribution.
On provider switches mid-session (e.g. MiniMax -> DeepSeek), the source
assistant turn carries a 'reasoning' field written by the prior provider
but no 'reasoning_content' key. _copy_reasoning_content_for_api would
promote that foreign 'reasoning' to 'reasoning_content' on the outbound
DeepSeek request, leaking a cross-provider chain of thought and in
practice causing HTTP 400.
DeepSeek's own _build_assistant_message always pins reasoning_content=''
at creation time for tool-call turns, so the shape (reasoning set,
reasoning_content absent, tool_calls present) is unreachable from
same-provider DeepSeek history — it can only come from a prior provider.
Pad with '' in that case instead of promoting.
Healthy same-provider 'reasoning' promotion (no tool_calls, or on
providers that do not require the empty-string pin) is unchanged.
Defensive: when the generator encounters a fenced code block containing
Unicode box-drawing characters, wrap it in `<!-- ascii-guard-ignore -->`
markers so the docs-site-checks lint (which scans inside code fences)
can't reject the page for a skill's own diagram.
Plain bash/python code blocks stay uncluttered — only blocks with box
chars get wrapped. Skill authors no longer have to remember to add the
ignore markers in every SKILL.md with ASCII art.
Fixes#15305.
Quick state snapshot now includes pairing JSONs (generic + legacy +
Feishu comment pairing), and `hermes update` takes a pre-update
snapshot labeled `pre-update` before pulling.
Pairing data lives outside state.db in platform-specific JSONs under
~/.hermes/pairing/, ~/.hermes/platforms/pairing/, and
~/.hermes/feishu_comment_pairing.json. The update command already
couldn't touch $HERMES_HOME, but #15733 reports lost pairing after
an update — this gives users something to restore from via
`/snapshot list` / `/snapshot restore <id>` if anything clobbers
the approved-user lists.
- Extend _QUICK_STATE_FILES with pairing paths (files + dirs)
- Snapshot walks directories recursively and records each file in the
manifest individually so restore logic is unchanged
- _cmd_update_impl calls create_quick_snapshot(label='pre-update')
after 'Found N new commits' and before 'Pulling updates'
- Snapshot failures are logged at debug and never block the update
Refs #15733.
read_file's dedup path returned a lightweight stub on re-reads of an
unchanged file, then returned early — so the consecutive-read loop
guard (hard block at count>=4) at the bottom of read_file_tool never
ran for stub-looped calls. Weaker tool-following models (local Qwen3.6
variants in the reported case) ignore the passive 'refer to earlier
result' hint and hammer the same read_file call until iteration budget
runs out.
Track per-key stub returns in task_data['dedup_hits'] and, on the
second stub for the same (path, offset, limit), return a hard BLOCKED
error mirroring the wording the real-read path already uses. A real
read, an intervening non-read tool call (notify_other_tool_call), or
reset_file_dedup (on context compression) all clear the counter so
the guard never stays engaged longer than the actual loop.
Closes#15759
Telegram groups emit a single bot_command entity covering the whole
/cmd@botname span with no accompanying mention entity, so the existing
mention gate in _message_mentions_bot dropped slash commands sent via
the bot-menu autocomplete whenever require_mention is enabled.
Recognise bot_command entities whose @botname suffix matches the bot
username (case-insensitive) as a direct mention, and keep rejecting
commands addressed at other bots. Fixes#15415.
When 'hermes model' runs against a providers: (keyed-schema) entry that
relies only on key_env, the picker resolves the env var for the live
/models request and then wrote a synthesized 'api_key: ${KEY_ENV}' back
to the providers.<key> entry. That's redundant — the runtime already
resolves from key_env directly — and it clutters configs that
intentionally keep credentials out of config.yaml.
Only persist provider_entry['api_key'] when the user originally had an
inline value (literal secret or ${VAR} template). Entries that declared
only key_env stay clean on save.
Fixes#15803.
Harden the Matrix adapter's sender-drop guards so bot-self events and
appservice/bridge identities never reach the gateway's pairing flow or
the agent loop.
Two filters, applied as early as possible in _on_room_message (and
_on_reaction for the self-filter):
1. _is_self_sender(sender) — case-insensitive + whitespace-trimmed
equality with self._user_id. When self._user_id is still empty
(whoami has not resolved, or login failed), returns True
defensively: an unidentified bot dropping its own events is always
preferable to falling into an echo loop. The previous byte-for-byte
equality check let differently-cased copies of the bot's MXID slip
through, and an unresolved self-ID silently disabled the guard.
2. _is_system_or_bridge_sender(sender) — drops appservice namespace
puppets (conventional @_bridge_...:server form) and malformed
senders with an empty localpart. These identities used to fall
through to the gateway's unauthorized-user path, trigger a pairing
code, and — once an operator approved the bridge — every outbound
message the bridge relayed would loop back as an authorized user
message. This was the root of the 'hall of mirrors' symptom.
Fixes#15763

Title generation swallowed exceptions at debug level and returned None,
so a depleted auxiliary provider (e.g. OpenRouter 402) silently left
sessions with NULL titles. Reporter observed 45 untitled sessions
accumulated over 19 days with no user-visible indication.
- agent/title_generator.py: accept optional failure_callback, bump log
to WARNING, invoke callback on call_llm exception (swallowing callback
errors so nothing can crash the fire-and-forget worker thread).
- cli.py, gateway/run.py: pass agent._emit_auxiliary_failure as the
callback so failures route through the existing user-visible warning
channel.
- tests: cover callback fires / errors are swallowed / no-callback
legacy behavior / maybe_auto_title forwards kwarg to worker.
raw_content from message["content"] can be a list that contains bare
strings, not only dicts. The previous `p.get("text", "")` call raised
AttributeError on string items, crashing context compression for any
session that had a message with mixed content.
Guard with isinstance checks: dict → .get("text"), str → len(p),
fallback → len(str(p)). Adds a regression test covering the bare-string
case that would have AttributeError'd on the pre-fix code.

_find_tail_cut_by_tokens called len(content) to estimate message tokens.
When content is a list of blocks (multimodal: text + image_url), len()
returns block count (e.g. 2) rather than character count, so a message
with 500 chars of text was counted as ~10 tokens instead of ~135.
This caused the backward walk to exhaust all messages before hitting the
budget ceiling; the head_end safeguard then forced cut = n - min_tail,
shrinking the protected tail to the bare minimum and preventing effective
compression of long multimodal conversations.
Fix mirrors the existing pattern in _prune_old_tool_results (line 487):
sum(len(p.get("text", "")) for p in raw_content)
if isinstance(raw_content, list) else len(raw_content)
Tests: 3 new cases in TestTokenBudgetTailProtection — regression guard
(confirms the test fails with the bug), plain-string regression guard,
and image-only block edge case.
Fixes#16087.

If the gateway's Python env loses access to 'croniter' between when a
cron job was created and when mark_job_run() fires, compute_next_run()
returns None for cron schedules. mark_job_run() treated that as terminal
completion and wrote enabled=false, state=completed — turning a missing
runtime dep into a silent, permanent job-off.
That behaviour is safe for one-shot jobs but wrong for recurring ones. A
missing dep should surface as an error the user can see, not as successful
completion of a job that is about to stop firing.
mark_job_run() now only disables the job on next_run_at=None when the
schedule is one-shot. For recurring (cron/interval) schedules it keeps
enabled=true, sets state=error, and records last_error so the user can
see why the job isn't advancing. compute_next_run() also logs a warning
the first time cron+no-croniter hits, so the underlying cause is visible
in the gateway log.
Tests cover:
- recurring cron job stays enabled with state=error when HAS_CRONITER=False
- recurring interval stays enabled when compute_next_run returns None
- one-shot jobs still flip to enabled=false, state=completed (no regression)
Fixes#16265
Azure Foundry deploys GPT-5.x, codex-*, and o1/o3/o4 reasoning models as
Responses-API-only. Calling /chat/completions against these deployments
returns 400 'The requested operation is unsupported.', which broke any
user who ran 'hermes model' on Azure, picked a gpt-5/codex deployment,
and kept the default api_mode: chat_completions. Verified in a user
debug bundle on 2026-04-26: gpt-5.3-codex failed on synopsisse.openai.azure.com
with that exact payload while gpt-4o-pure on the same endpoint worked.
Adds azure_foundry_model_api_mode(model_name) that returns
codex_responses when the model name starts with gpt-5, codex, o1, o3,
or o4 — otherwise None so chat_completions / anthropic_messages stay
untouched for gpt-4o, Llama, Claude-via-Anthropic, etc.
Resolver (both the direct Azure Foundry path and the pool-entry path)
consults it and upgrades api_mode unless the user explicitly picked
anthropic_messages. target_model (from /model mid-session switch)
takes precedence over the persisted default so switching from gpt-4o
to gpt-5.3-codex routes correctly before the next request.
Docs: correct the azure-foundry guide which previously claimed Azure
keeps gpt-5.x on chat completions — that was only true for early Azure
OpenAI, not Azure Foundry codex/o-series deployments.
Tests: 14 unit tests for azure_foundry_model_api_mode + 6 integration
tests in TestAzureFoundryResolution covering Bob's exact scenario,
target_model override, anthropic_messages guard, and o3-mini.
Parse scope from the raw callback URL before stripping the auth code so Flow.fetch_token matches user-granted scopes. Add regression test for dual-scope callbacks.

Two related fixes for OpenClaw-residue problems after an OpenClaw→Hermes
migration (especially migrations done via OpenClaw's own tool, which
doesn't archive the source directory).
1. optional-skills/migration/openclaw-migration/scripts/openclaw_to_hermes.py:
rebrand_text() was rewriting ~/.openclaw/config.yaml → ~/.Hermes/config.yaml
(capital H — a directory that doesn't exist). Now case-preserving:
"OpenClaw" → "Hermes" (prose), but "openclaw" → "hermes" (so filesystem
paths land on the real Hermes home). Regex logic unchanged — replacement
function now checks if the matched text was all-lowercase and emits the
replacement in the matching case.
2. agent/onboarding.py + cli.py: one-time startup banner the first time
Hermes launches and finds ~/.openclaw/. Tells the user to run
`hermes claw cleanup` to archive it, gated on the existing onboarding
seen-flag framework (onboarding.seen.openclaw_residue_cleanup in
config.yaml). Fires once per install; re-running requires wiping that
flag or running cleanup directly.
Tests:
- 4 new TestDetectOpenclawResidue tests (present / absent / file-instead-
of-dir / default-home smoke)
- 2 TestOpenclawResidueHint tests (content check)
- 2 TestOpenclawResidueSeenFlag tests (flag isolation + round-trip)
- test_rebrand_text_preserves_filesystem_path_casing regression test
with 4 scenarios including the exact ~/.openclaw/config.yaml case
- Existing test_rebrand_text_* tests updated to the new case-preserving
contract (lowercase input → lowercase output)

* feat(skills): install skills from a direct HTTP(S) URL
Adds UrlSource adapter so `hermes skills install <url-to-SKILL.md>` and
`/skills install <url>` work as first-class operations — no more
improvising with curl + patch + cp.
- Claims identifiers that start with http(s):// and end in .md
- Skips /.well-known/skills/ URLs (WellKnownSkillSource handles those)
- Skill name from YAML frontmatter, URL-slug fallback
- Single-file SKILL.md only (v1 scope — multi-file skills need a manifest)
- Trust level 'community'; full security scan still runs
- Lock file stores the URL as identifier so `hermes skills update`
re-fetches from the same URL cleanly
Scope matches real user need from @versun's docx feedback where
`https://sharethis.chat/SKILL.md` had no first-class install path.
* feat(skills): interactive name/category for URL installs + --name override
Follow-up to the UrlSource adapter. The previous commit fell back to weak
heuristics when frontmatter had no ``name:`` and could produce garbage names
like ``SKILL`` or ``unnamed-skill``. Now:
tools/skills_hub.py
- ``UrlSource._is_valid_skill_name()`` — strict identifier check
(``^[a-z][a-z0-9_-]*$``), rejects sentinel values (``SKILL``, ``README``,
``INDEX``, ``unnamed-skill``, empty, non-strings).
- ``_resolve_skill_name()`` returns ``Optional[str]`` — ``None`` when
nothing valid is resolvable. Also ignores unsafe frontmatter names
(``../evil``) and falls through to URL slug instead of returning None
immediately, so a URL with a bad frontmatter but a good path still
works.
- ``fetch()``/``inspect()`` carry an ``awaiting_name=True`` marker in
metadata/extra when resolution fails, letting ``do_install`` decide
whether to prompt, apply an override, or error out.
hermes_cli/skills_hub.py
- ``do_install`` gains a ``name_override`` parameter.
- On URL-sourced bundles with ``awaiting_name=True``:
1. If ``name_override`` is valid → use it.
2. If ``name_override`` is invalid → refuse with a clear error.
3. Else if ``skip_confirm=True`` (non-interactive: slash / TUI /
gateway / scripts) → refuse with an actionable retry hint pointing
at ``--name <your-name>`` on both CLI and slash forms.
4. Else (interactive TTY) → prompt for the name.
- Interactive TTY also prompts for a category when none is given for a
URL-sourced install, hinting existing category buckets so users can
reuse ``productivity``, ``devops``, etc. Empty input → flat install.
- ``_existing_categories()`` scans ``~/.hermes/skills/`` for subdirs that
look like category buckets (contain nested SKILL.md files); skips
top-level skills and hidden dirs.
- ``_prompt_for_skill_name()`` / ``_prompt_for_category()`` helpers
(EOF/Ctrl-C-safe, match the existing ``Confirm [y/N]`` prompt style).
hermes_cli/main.py
- ``hermes skills install`` argparse gains ``--name <name>``.
hermes_cli/skills_hub.py (slash)
- ``/skills install <url> --name <x>`` parsing added.
Tests
- tests/tools/test_skills_hub.py: updated ``UrlSource`` tests to assert
the new ``awaiting_name`` metadata; added 4 new tests for
``_is_valid_skill_name`` rejection sets and the awaiting-name marker.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_skills_hub.py: 8 new tests covering --name
override accept/reject, non-interactive error, interactive name prompt,
interactive category prompt, cancel-aborts-install, and
``_existing_categories`` scan behavior (buckets vs flat skills).
- E2E verified all four paths (no-name/no-override → error;
--name override → install; frontmatter name → install;
invalid --name → rejection).

`_resolve_effective_accept()` used `return bool(cfg_val)` for the
`hooks_auto_accept` config key. In Python, `bool("false")` is `True`,
so a user setting `hooks_auto_accept: "false"` (quoted YAML string)
in `config.yaml` would silently enable auto-approval of every shell
hook, bypassing the consent prompt entirely.
Replace the coercion with the same type-aware parsing already used for
the HERMES_ACCEPT_HOOKS env var three lines above: bool passthrough,
strings checked against {1,true,yes,on} case-insensitively, everything
else (including "false", None, 0, ints) rejected.
Add TestHooksAutoAcceptParsing guarding the regression across all four
value shapes (bool, string-truthy, string-falsy, missing/None).
Reported by @sprmn24 in #16244.
- remove the temporary -c MRU logic and companion test from this branch so PR #15926 stays focused on TUI perf work
- keep the resume-ordering change isolated in the dedicated follow-up PR
CPU profiling showed the built TUI loading React development modules unless NODE_ENV was set. Default CLI and dashboard TUI children to production while preserving explicit user overrides.
When _compress_context rotates session_id (compression split), fire
on_session_start(new_sid, boundary_reason="compression",
old_session_id=<old>) on the active context engine. Plugin engines
(e.g. hermes-lcm) use this to preserve DAG lineage across the rollover
instead of re-initializing fresh per-session state.
Built-in ContextCompressor.on_session_start accepts **kwargs and ignores
them — no behavior change for default users.
Closes hermes-lcm#68 symptom: after Hermes compressed and minted a new
physical session, LCM was treating the split as a fresh /new and losing
continuity (compression_count: 1, store_messages: 0, dag_nodes: 0).
Credit: @Tosko4 (PR #13370) — minimized scope to the boundary_reason
signal only; the broader session-lifecycle refactor will be taken in
separate PRs if justified by concrete plugin need.
Every working dir hermes ever touches gets its own shadow git repo under
~/.hermes/checkpoints/{sha256(abs_dir)[:16]}/. The per-repo _prune is a
no-op (comment in CheckpointManager._prune says so), so abandoned repos
from deleted/moved projects or one-off tmp dirs pile up forever. Field
reports put the typical offender at 1000+ repos / ~12 GB on active
contributor machines.
Adds an opt-in startup sweep that mirrors the sessions.auto_prune
pattern from #13861 / #16286:
- tools/checkpoint_manager.py: new prune_checkpoints() and
maybe_auto_prune_checkpoints() helpers. Deletes shadow repos that
are orphan (HERMES_WORKDIR marker points to a path that no longer
exists) or stale (newest in-repo mtime older than retention_days).
Idempotent via a CHECKPOINT_BASE/.last_prune marker file so it only
runs once per min_interval_hours regardless of how many hermes
processes start up.
- hermes_cli/config.py: new checkpoints.auto_prune /
retention_days / delete_orphans / min_interval_hours knobs.
Default auto_prune: false so users who rely on /rollback against
long-ago sessions never lose data silently.
- cli.py / gateway/run.py: startup hooks gated on checkpoints.auto_prune,
called right next to the existing state.db maintenance block.
- Docs updated with the new config knobs.
- 11 regression tests: orphan/stale deletion, precedence, byte-freed
tracking, non-shadow dir skip, interval gating, corrupt marker
recovery.
Refs #3015 (session-file disk growth was fixed in #16286; this covers
the checkpoint side noted out-of-scope there).
The write_file guard added in #16223 used strict equality against the
internal dedup status message. In practice, the model sometimes
prepends a short note or appends a trailing comment before calling
write_file, which slipped past the strict check.
Broaden the heuristic: reject writes whose stripped content equals
the status message OR contains it and is <=2x its length. Short,
status-dominated writes are always corruption; legitimate docs that
quote the message verbatim are always much longer.
Adds two tests: one for the small-wrapper corruption shape, one
confirming large legitimate files that quote the status still write.
write_file_tool and patch_tool both call _update_read_timestamp to
refresh the staleness tracker after writing, but they never invalidate
the dedup cache entries for the written path. The dedup cache keys are
(resolved_path, offset, limit) → mtime tuples populated by read_file_tool.
On filesystems where a read and write land in the same mtime second (or
when mtime granularity is 1s), the cached and current mtime are equal,
so the dedup check incorrectly returns a 'File unchanged since last
read' stub — even though the file was just overwritten.
The agent then sees stale content (or a stale 'File not found' error)
and enters expensive error-recovery loops, burning API calls.
Fix: add _invalidate_dedup_for_path(filepath, task_id) that removes all
dedup entries whose resolved path matches the written file. Called from
_update_read_timestamp so both write_file_tool and patch_tool benefit
automatically. Scoped to the writing task_id — other tasks' caches are
not affected.
6 regression tests added covering:
- read→write→read within same mtime second (core #13144 scenario)
- invalidation across all offset/limit combinations
- isolation: writing file A does not invalidate file B's cache
- isolation: writing in task A does not invalidate task B's cache
- _invalidate_dedup_for_path safety on missing task / empty dedup
All 25 tests pass (19 existing + 6 new).
Fixes#13144
Four independent session-UX bugs reported by an external user (#16294).
/save wrote hermes_conversation_<ts>.json to CWD — invisible to
'hermes sessions browse' and easy to lose. Snapshots now write under
~/.hermes/sessions/saved/ and the command prints the absolute path plus
a 'hermes --resume <id>' hint for the live DB-indexed session.
'hermes sessions browse' default --limit raised from 50 to 500. With the
old ceiling, users with moderately long histories saw only the most
recent 50 rows and assumed older sessions had been lost.
TUI session.list (`/resume` picker) switched from a hardcoded allow-list
of 13 gateway source names to a deny-list of just { 'tool' }. Sessions
tagged acp / webhook / user-defined HERMES_SESSION_SOURCE values and
any newly-added platform now surface. Default limit 20 → 200.
ollama-cloud provider setup passes force_refresh=True to
fetch_ollama_cloud_models() so a user entering their API key sees the
fresh catalog (e.g. deepseek v4 flash, kimi k2.6) immediately instead
of waiting up to an hour for the disk cache TTL to expire.
Closes#16294.
_web_ui_build_needed() in PR #14914 checked web_dir/"dist" as the
sentinel, but vite.config.ts sets outDir: "../hermes_cli/web_dist" so
the build output lands in hermes_cli/web_dist/, never in web/dist/.
The sentinel was therefore always missing → _web_ui_build_needed always
returned True → npm install + Vite build ran on every startup → OOM on
low-memory VPS persisted unchanged.
Fix: derive dist_dir as web_dir.parent / "hermes_cli" / "web_dist" so
the sentinel points to the actual build output directory.
Fixes#14898
When the gateway intercepts a pending /update prompt and the user sends
a recognized slash command (/new, /help, ...), the command now dispatches
normally AND the detached update subprocess is unblocked by writing a
blank .update_response. _gateway_prompt reads '' → strips → returns the
prompt's default (typically a safe 'n' / skip), so the update process
exits cleanly instead of blocking on stdin until the 30-minute watcher
timeout.
Also clears _update_prompt_pending[session_key] on this path so stray
future input for the same session isn't re-intercepted.
Extends PR #15849 with tests for the new cancel-write + a regression
test pinning the legacy behavior of unrecognized /foo slash commands
still being consumed as the response.
Slack Bolt posts are not editable like CLI spinners; medium-tier new still emitted a permanent line per tool start (issue #14663).
- Built-in slack default: off; other tier-2 platforms unchanged.
- Adjust /verbose isolation test for off to new cycle.
- Migration tests: read/write config.yaml as UTF-8 (Windows locale).
- TestAutoMaintenance gains 3 tests: auto-prune deletes transcript files
when sessions_dir is passed, preserves them when it isn't (backward-
compat), and never touches active-session files during prune.
- FakeDB helpers in test_sessions_delete.py accept **kwargs so they
don't break when delete_session signature gains sessions_dir.
Extends the existing channel_skill_bindings mechanism (previously
Discord-only) to Slack, so a channel or DM can auto-load one or more
skills at session start without relying on the model's skill selector
for every short reply.
Motivation: Mats's German flashcards DM pushes a cron-driven card
5x/day; he responds with one-word guesses like 'work'. Previously each
reply required the main agent to decide whether to load german-flashcards
(full opus turn just to pick a skill). With the binding configured per
Slack channel, the skill is injected at session start and grading runs
directly.
Changes:
- Extract resolve_channel_skills() from DiscordAdapter._resolve_channel_skills
into gateway.platforms.base (now shared across adapters).
- DiscordAdapter._resolve_channel_skills delegates to the shared helper
(behavior preserved — existing test suite still passes unchanged).
- SlackAdapter: resolve channel_skill_bindings on each message and attach
auto_skill to MessageEvent. gateway/run.py already handles auto-skill
injection on new sessions; this just wires Slack through it.
- gateway/config.py: accept channel_skill_bindings in slack: block of
config.yaml (was Discord-only).
- Tests: new tests/gateway/test_slack_channel_skills.py with 11 cases
covering DM/thread/parent resolution, single-vs-list skills, dedup,
malformed entries. Discord suite unchanged.
- Docs: add 'Per-Channel Skill Bindings' section to Slack user guide.
Config example:
slack:
channel_skill_bindings:
- id: "D0ATH9TQ0G6"
skills: ["german-flashcards"]
Enter while the agent is busy can now inject the typed text via /steer —
arriving at the agent after the next tool call — instead of interrupting
(current default) or queueing for the next turn.
Changes:
- cli.py: keybinding honors busy_input_mode='steer' by calling
agent.steer(text) on the UI thread (thread-safe), with automatic
fallback to 'queue' when the agent is missing, steer() is unavailable,
images are attached, or steer() rejects the payload. /busy accepts
'steer' as a fourth argument alongside queue/interrupt/status.
- gateway/run.py: busy-message handler and the PRIORITY running-agent
path both route through running_agent.steer() when the mode is 'steer',
with the same fallback-to-queue safety net. Ack wording tells users
their message was steered into the current run. Restart-drain queueing
now also activates for 'steer' so messages aren't lost across restarts.
- agent/onboarding.py: first-touch hint has a steer branch for both
CLI and gateway.
- hermes_cli/commands.py: /busy args_hint updated to include steer,
and 'steer' is registered as a subcommand (completions).
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: dashboard select widget offers steer.
- hermes_cli/config.py, cli-config.yaml.example, hermes_cli/tips.py:
inline docs updated.
- website/docs/user-guide/cli.md + messaging/index.md: documented.
- Tests: steer set/status path for /busy; onboarding hints;
_load_busy_input_mode accepts steer; busy-session ack exercises
steer success + two fallback-to-queue branches.

Default is unchanged (interrupt).
MCP stdio servers are spawned via the SDK's stdio_client, which on
Linux uses start_new_session=True (setsid). When a cron job is
cancelled mid-way (timeout, agent finish, exception), the subprocess
often escapes the SDK's teardown and survives as a session leader.
Because setsid() detaches the child from the gateway's process group
/ cgroup tree, systemd does not reap it on service restart either —
so every cron tick that touches an MCP tool leaks a dangling server
process.
Fix:
* tools/mcp_tool.py — _run_stdio now wraps the whole stdio+session
context in try/finally. On any exit path (clean, exception,
cancellation), PIDs still alive are moved from the active
_stdio_pids set into a new _orphan_stdio_pids set. Orphan
detection is done via os.kill(pid, 0) — a cheap liveness probe
that never signals the target.
* tools/mcp_tool.py — _kill_orphaned_mcp_children gains an
include_active=False flag. Default behaviour now only reaps the
orphan set so concurrent sessions (other parallel cron jobs or
live user chats) are never disrupted. The existing shutdown path
passes include_active=True to keep the previous "kill everything"
semantics after the MCP loop is stopped.
* cron/scheduler.py — the cleanup hook is moved from run_job()'s
finally (which would race with parallel siblings after #13021)
into tick() after the ThreadPoolExecutor has joined every future.
At that point there are no in-flight sessions from this tick, so
sweeping the orphan set is always safe.
Net effect: zero regression for healthy sessions, and orphan MCP
servers no longer accumulate between gateway restarts.

Multiple overlapping Slack attachment improvements:
1. Upload retry with backoff on transient errors (429, 5xx, connection
reset, rate_limited, service unavailable). New _is_retryable_upload_error
helper covers three upload paths: _upload_file, send_video,
send_document. Up to 3 attempts with 1.5s * attempt backoff.
2. Thread participation tracking: successful file uploads now add the
thread_ts to _bot_message_ts, mirroring how text replies are tracked.
This lets follow-up thread messages auto-trigger the bot (same
engagement rules as replied threads).
3. Thread metadata preservation in the image redirect-guard fallback
(send_image → send text fallback) and in two gateway.run.py send
paths (image + document fallback calls).
4. HTML response rejection in _download_slack_file_bytes. Parallels
the existing check in _download_slack_file. Guards against Slack
returning a sign-in / redirect page as document bytes when scopes
are missing, so the agent doesn't get HTML-as-a-PDF.
5. File lifecycle event acks (file_shared / file_created / file_change).
These events arrive around snippet uploads. Acking them silences the
slack_bolt 'Unhandled request' 404 warnings without changing behavior.
6. Post-loop message type classification so a mixed image+document upload
classifies as PHOTO (or VOICE if no image), falling back to DOCUMENT.
Previously, the per-file classification in the inbound loop could be
overwritten unpredictably.
7. Expanded text-inject whitelist in inbound document handling to cover
.csv, .json, .xml, .yaml, .yml, .toml, .ini, .cfg (up to 100KB) so
snippets and config files are directly visible to the agent, not just
cached as opaque uploads. Paired with new MIME entries in
SUPPORTED_DOCUMENT_TYPES in base.py.
Squashed from two commits in #11819 so the single commit carries the

Ports openclaw/openclaw#72038 to hermes-agent.
Telegram's `editMessageText` preserves the original message timestamp,
so a long-running streamed reply (reasoning models that take 60+ seconds
to finish) would keep the first-token timestamp even after completion.
Users can't tell how long a task actually took.
When a preview message has been visible for >= 60s (configurable via
`streaming.fresh_final_after_seconds`), finalize by sending a fresh
message instead of editing in place, then best-effort delete the stale
preview. Short previews still edit in place (the existing fast path).
Implementation notes adapted from OpenClaw's TypeScript original:
- `StreamConsumerConfig` gains `fresh_final_after_seconds` (default 0 =
legacy edit-in-place). Gateway-level `StreamingConfig` defaults to 60.
- `GatewayStreamConsumer` tracks `_message_created_ts` at first-send and
checks it in `_send_or_edit` on `finalize=True`. New helpers
`_should_send_fresh_final` + `_try_fresh_final`.
- `BasePlatformAdapter` gains optional `delete_message(chat_id, message_id)`
returning False by default. `TelegramAdapter` implements it via
`_bot.delete_message`.
- `gateway/run.py` only enables fresh-final for `Platform.TELEGRAM`;
other platforms ignore the setting (they don't have the stale-edit
timestamp problem or edit-then-read works cheaply).
- Fallback to normal edit on any fresh-send failure — no user-visible
regression if Telegram rate-limits a send or the message is gone.
Tests: 15 new cases in tests/gateway/test_stream_consumer_fresh_final.py
covering short/long previews, config plumbing, delete-support absent,
send-failure fallback, __no_edit__ sentinel safety, and StreamingConfig
round-trip.

Slack's modern composer sends messages with a 'blocks' array that
contains rich_text elements. When a user forwards or quotes another
message, the quoted content shows up in the rich_text_quote children
of that array — and is NOT included in the plain 'text' field. The
agent saw only the lossy plain text and was blind to forwarded /
quoted content. Same story for link unfurl previews (Notion, docs,
GitHub, etc.) which Slack puts in the 'attachments' array.
Two fixes in the inbound handler:
1. _extract_text_from_slack_blocks walks rich_text / rich_text_quote /
rich_text_list / rich_text_preformatted trees and renders readable
text ('> quoted', '• bullet', code fences), dedupes against the
plain text field, and appends the extracted content so the agent
sees everything.
2. Link unfurl / attachment preview extraction reads title, url,
body, and footer from the 'attachments' array and appends a
'📎 [title](url)\n body\n _footer_' section per preview.
Skips is_msg_unfurl to avoid echoing our own Slack replies back.
Routing is careful not to trust augmented text: mention gating
(is_mentioned) and slash-command detection both run against the
original 'text' field, so forwarded content containing '<@bot>' or
'/deploy' in a quote can't trick the bot into responding in a
channel it shouldn't or classifying a normal message as a command.
Adjustment from original PR: dropped _serialize_slack_blocks_for_agent,
which inlined a redacted JSON dump of non-rich_text blocks (section,
accessory, actions, etc.) — the agent would see the raw Block Kit
structure for UI-heavy alerts. It added up to 6000 characters to the
prompt context on every qualifying message with no opt-out. The
rich_text extraction and attachment unfurls cover the common bug-fix
case (quoted/forwarded content + link previews) without the prefill
tax. If a user needs block inspection later, it can return as a
config opt-in.
Also updates the Slack platform notes in session.py to accurately
describe what the gateway inlines.
After #14798 made cron honor per-platform `hermes tools` config, the
`_DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS` filter silently stripped `homeassistant` from
cron jobs for users who'd been relying on the previous blanket toolset.
Norbert's HA cron reports regressed as a result.
The HA toolset is already runtime-gated by its `check_fn` (requires
HASS_TOKEN to register any tools). When HASS_TOKEN is set the user has
explicitly opted in — `_DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS` adds nothing in that case,
so stop double-gating and restore HA for cron / cli / other platforms
without an explicit saved toolset list.
moa and rl stay off by default (original #14798 goal preserved).
Fixes HA cron regression reported by Norbert.
HindsightEmbedded.close() delegates to its sync client.close(). When Hermes
created/used that client on the shared async loop, closing it from the main
thread raises 'attached to a different loop' before aiohttp releases the
session — so the ClientSession / TCPConnector leak past provider teardown.
Close the embedded inner async client on the shared loop first via
_run_sync(inner_client.aclose()), then let the wrapper's sync close()
do its daemon/UI bookkeeping.
Salvage of #14605: test placement rebased — appended TestShutdown class
after TestSharedEventLoopLifecycle (which landed on main after the PR was
written). Original author attribution preserved.
Translate Slack attachment failures into actionable user-facing notices
instead of generic download errors. When a scope/auth/permission issue
breaks attachment processing, the user sees:
[Slack attachment notice]
- Slack attachment access failed for photo.jpg. Missing scope:
files:read. Update the Slack app scopes/settings and reinstall
the app to the workspace.
Two helpers do the translation:
_describe_slack_api_error — handles SlackApiError responses
(missing_scope, invalid_auth, file_not_found, access_denied, etc.)
_describe_slack_download_failure — handles httpx.HTTPStatusError
(401/403/404) and Slack-returns-HTML-sign-in fallbacks
Wired into three existing call sites:
- the Slack Connect files.info path (PR #11111) so scope errors
surface instead of being logged as generic "files.info failed"
- the image, audio, and document download paths so 401/403 and
HTML-body responses translate into actionable notices
Adjustment from original PR: dropped _probe_slack_file_access_issue,
the proactive pre-download files.info probe. It added one extra
Slack API call per attachment even on healthy ones, and overlapped
with the existing files.info call from PR #11111. The post-failure
translation path covers the same user-facing diagnostic value
without the per-message tax.
Also documents files:read scope more prominently in the Slack setup
guide and troubleshooting table.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Stop pre-stripping the path from the configured MCP server URL before
constructing OAuthClientProvider. The MCP SDK strips the path itself via
OAuthContext.get_authorization_base_url() for authorization-server
discovery, but uses the full server_url through
resource_url_from_server_url() + check_resource_allowed() to validate
against the server's RFC 9728 Protected Resource Metadata.
For servers whose PRM advertises a path-scoped resource (e.g. Notion's
https://mcp.notion.com/mcp), our _parse_base_url() collapsed the URL to
the origin, so check_resource_allowed() saw requested='/' vs
configured='/mcp/' and refused the token. Fixes OAuth against Notion MCP
(and any other path-scoped resource).
Closes#16015.
`_apply_model_switch_result` (the interactive `/model` picker's
confirmation path) printed `ModelInfo.context_window` straight from
models.dev, which reports the vendor-wide value (1.05M for gpt-5.5 on
openai). ChatGPT Codex OAuth caps the same slug at 272K, so the picker
showed 1M while the runtime (compressor, gateway `/model`, typed
`/model <name>`) correctly used 272K — the classic 'sometimes 1M,
sometimes 272K' mismatch on a single model.
Both display paths now go through `resolve_display_context_length()`,
matching the fix that `_handle_model_switch` received earlier.
Also bump the stale last-resort fallback in DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS
(`gpt-5.5: 400000 -> 1050000`) to match the real OpenAI API value; the
272K Codex cap is already enforced via the Codex-OAuth branch, so the
fallback now reflects what every non-Codex probe-miss should see.
Tests: adds `test_apply_model_switch_result_context.py` with three
scenarios (Codex cap wins, OpenRouter shows 1.05M, resolver-empty falls
back to ModelInfo). Updates the existing non-Codex fallback test to
assert 1.05M (the correct value).
