Adds opt-in auto-deletion for slash-command reply messages like
"New session started!", "Restarting gateway…", "Stopped.", and
YOLO toggles. After the TTL elapses the gateway calls the adapter's
delete_message; on platforms without a delete API (everything except
Telegram today) the TTL is silently ignored and the message stays.
Requested on Twitter by @charlesmcdowell — tool-call bubbles are useful
real-time, but system notices clutter the thread once the agent finishes.
Implementation:
- EphemeralReply(str) sentinel in gateway/platforms/base.py. Subclasses
str so existing 'X' in response / response.startswith(...) checks in
tests and call sites keep working unchanged; isinstance() still
distinguishes it for the send path.
- _process_message_background and both busy-session bypass paths
(in base.py) call _unwrap_ephemeral() on the handler return, send
the unwrapped text, and schedule a detached delete task when the
TTL > 0 AND the adapter class overrides delete_message.
- display.ephemeral_system_ttl (default 0 = disabled) in DEFAULT_CONFIG.
Handler can pass ttl_seconds explicitly to override.
- Wrapped the highest-noise return sites: /new, /reset, /stop,
/yolo on/off, /restart success + "already in progress". Draining
notices and /help output left as plain strings — those are
informational and users want to read them.
Backward-compat: default TTL 0 → no scheduling, no behavior change
for existing users. Platforms without delete_message silently no-op.
When the curator consolidates skill X into umbrella Y, any cron job
that listed X in its skills field would fail to load X at run time —
the scheduler logs a warning and skips it, so the scheduled job runs
without the instructions it was scheduled to follow.
cron.jobs.rewrite_skill_refs(consolidated, pruned) now updates jobs
in-place: consolidated names route to the umbrella target (dedup
when umbrella is already present), pruned names are dropped.
agent.curator._write_run_report calls it after classification,
best-effort so a cron-side failure never breaks the curator itself.
Results are recorded in run.json (counts.cron_jobs_rewritten + full
cron_rewrites payload), a separate cron_rewrites.json for convenience
when jobs were touched, and a section in REPORT.md.

DeepSeek V4 Pro tightened thinking-mode validation and rejects empty-string
reasoning_content with HTTP 400:
The reasoning content in the thinking mode must be passed back to the API.
run_agent.py injected "" at three fallback sites — the tool-call pad in
_build_assistant_message and both injection branches of
_copy_reasoning_content_for_api (cross-provider poison guard + unconditional
thinking pad). All three now emit " " (single space), which satisfies the
non-empty check on V4 Pro without leaking fabricated reasoning.
Also upgrades stale empty-string placeholders on replay: sessions persisted
before this change have reasoning_content="" pinned at creation time; when
the active provider enforces thinking-mode echo, the replay path now rewrites
"" -> " " so existing users don't 400 on their first V4 Pro turn after
updating. Non-thinking providers still round-trip "" verbatim.
Updates 9 existing assertions + adds 2 regression tests (stale-placeholder
upgrade, non-thinking verbatim preservation).
Refs #15250, #17400.
Closes#17341.
The user-visible /compress banner and the post-compression last_prompt_tokens
writeback both counted only the raw message transcript (chars/4). With a 15KB
system prompt and 30 tool schemas (~26KB), a 4-message transcript that looks
like ~45 tokens to the transcript-only estimator is really ~10.5K tokens of
request pressure — a 234x gap.
Two user-facing consequences:
- Banner shows 'Compressing … (~45 tokens)…' while compression is actually
firing on 10K+ tokens of real pressure, confusing users about why
compression triggered (reported by @codecovenant on X; #6217).
- Post-compression last_prompt_tokens writeback omits tool schemas, so the
next should_compress() check compares real usage against a stale
underestimate — compression triggers late, potentially past the model's
context limit on small-context models (#14695).
Swap estimate_messages_tokens_rough() for estimate_request_tokens_rough()
at every user-visible banner and at the post-compression writeback.
estimate_request_tokens_rough() already existed for exactly this purpose
and includes system prompt + tool schemas.
Touched call sites:
- run_agent.py: post-compression last_prompt_tokens writeback, post-tool
call should_compress() fallback when provider usage is missing
- cli.py: /compress banner + summary
- gateway/run.py: gateway /compress banner + summary
- tui_gateway/server.py: TUI /compress status + summary
- acp_adapter/server.py: ACP /compact before/after
Left intentionally alone:
- Session-hygiene fallback and the 'no agent' /status path in gateway/run.py
— no agent instance is in scope to query for system prompt/tools, and the
existing 30-50% overestimate wobble on hygiene is safety-accepted.
- Verbose-mode 'Request size' logging — informational only, already counts
system prompt via api_messages[0].
Also relabels the feedback line from 'Rough transcript estimate' to
'Approx request size' so the metric label matches what it actually measures.

When a user types /steer <text> on an ACP session that isn't actively
running a turn (and there's no interrupted-prompt salvage available),
_cmd_steer silently appended to state.queued_prompts and replied
"No active turn — queued for the next turn". That looks identical to
/queue output even though the user never typed /queue — @EddyLeeKhane
reported this as "/steer never works, gets queued instead".
Rewrite the payload to a plain user prompt before the slash-intercept
fires, matching the gateway's idle-/steer fallthrough in
gateway/run.py ~L4898.
_process_message_background snapshotted callback_generation from the
interrupt event at the TOP of the task — before the handler ran.
_hermes_run_generation is only set on the event by
GatewayRunner._bind_adapter_run_generation during
_handle_message_with_agent, which runs DURING the handler await. The
early snapshot always captured None, which then flowed into
pop_post_delivery_callback(..., generation=None) in the finally block.
In pop_post_delivery_callback, generation=None with a tuple-registered
entry (generation, callback) bypasses the ownership check — it pops and
fires the callback regardless of which run owns it. Result: a stale run
could fire a fresher run's post-delivery callback (e.g. a
background-review notification attributed to the wrong turn).
Fix: move the snapshot into the finally block, after the handler has
run and _hermes_run_generation has been bound to the current run.
Regression test added: simulates a stale handler at generation=1 and a
fresher callback registered at generation=2. Pre-fix: snapshot=None →
pop fires the generation=2 callback under generation=1's ownership
("newer" fires). Post-fix: snapshot=1 → pop skips the mismatched
entry, callback stays in the dict for the correct run to claim.
Verified: test FAILS on current main (captures "newer" in fired list),
PASSES with this fix.
Salvaged from PR #12565 (the callback-ownership portion only; the
/status totals portion was already fixed on main in 7abc9ce4d via #17158).

Widens #16528 to two sibling sites that had the same quoted-boolean
bug: a YAML string "false" (or "0", "no", "off") silently evaluated
truthy under bool() / if-check.

- tools/skill_manager_tool.py _guard_agent_created_enabled: is_truthy_value wrap

SELECT in get_messages_as_conversation() was missing finish_reason, so
assistant messages round-tripped through replay (including /branch copies)
silently dropped the provider's stop signal. Adds it to the SELECT, restores
it on assistant rows, and locks it in with a round-trip test.
When running on a host with sudoers NOPASSWD configured for the current
user, interactive Hermes sessions were unnecessarily entering the
password prompt path before executing sudo commands. Outside Hermes,
`sudo -n true` exits 0 for that user.
Add `_sudo_nopasswd_works()` that probes `sudo -n true` and, when it
succeeds, lets `_transform_sudo_command()` return the command unchanged
with no stdin password. The probe:
- Is scoped to the `local` terminal backend only, so Docker/SSH/Modal
and other remote backends do not inherit host sudo state.
- Re-probes every call (no process-lifetime cache) so an expired sudo
timestamp cannot silently make a later command block waiting for a
password that Hermes never prompts for.
- Is bypassed entirely when `SUDO_PASSWORD` is configured or a cached
password already exists, preserving existing explicit-password flows.

The fix for this bug (isinstance guard) was merged via commit 3ff9e010,
but test coverage was not included. Adding 4 tests:
- dict metadata with hermes keys (normal case)
- string metadata (bug case — previously caused AttributeError)
- None metadata
- missing metadata key
Proves token A's detected capabilities do not leak to token B after the
fix in the preceding commit. Before the fix this test would have seen
both tokens return token A's cached value.
Add two operator-facing toggles for inbound Feishu admission, enabling
bot-to-bot scenarios such as A2A orchestration and inter-bot
notifications:
FEISHU_ALLOW_BOTS=none|mentions|all (default: none)
Accept messages from other bots. `mentions` requires the peer
bot to @-mention Hermes; `all` admits every peer-bot message.
FEISHU_REQUIRE_MENTION=true|false (default: true)
Whether group messages must @-mention the bot. Override per-chat
via `group_rules.<chat_id>.require_mention` in config.yaml.
Defaults preserve prior behavior. Self-echo protection is always on:
when the bot's identity is unresolved (auto-detection failed and
FEISHU_BOT_OPEN_ID unset), peer-bot messages are rejected fail-closed
to avoid feedback loops.
Admitted peer bots bypass the human-user allowlist
(FEISHU_ALLOWED_USERS) to match existing Discord behavior; humans
still need an explicit allowlist entry. yaml feishu.allow_bots is
bridged to the env var so the adapter and gateway auth layer share
one source of truth.
Resolving peer-bot display names requires the
application:bot.basic_info:read scope; without it, peers still route
but appear as their open_id.
Test: tests/gateway/test_feishu_bot_admission.py covers the admission
pipeline, group-policy bot-bypass, hydration, and event-dispatch
plumbing as a parametrized matrix.

reset_session() creates a fresh SessionEntry with created_at == updated_at,
but get_or_create_session() bumps updated_at on the next inbound message,
causing _is_new_session in _handle_message_with_agent to evaluate False.
The topic/channel skill auto-load gate (group_topics, channel_skill_bindings)
silently skips the first message after a manual reset.
Add an is_fresh_reset flag on SessionEntry, set by reset_session() and
consumed once by the message handler. Kept distinct from was_auto_reset
because that flag also drives a 'session expired due to inactivity'
user-facing notice and a context-note prepend — both wrong for an
explicit /new or /reset.
Persisted through to_dict/from_dict so the flag survives gateway
restart between /reset and the next message.

/status was reading session_entry.total_tokens from the in-memory
SessionStore (gateway/session.py), which the agent never writes to —
so the token count was always 0.
The agent already persists token deltas to the SQLite SessionDB
(run_agent.py:11497) for every platform with a session_id. Route
/status through that single source of truth instead of duplicating
token writes into a second store.
Fix:
- gateway/run.py: _handle_status_command now calls
self._session_db.get_session(session_id) and sums the five token
component columns (input/output/cache_read/cache_write/reasoning).
Falls back to 0 when no SessionDB is configured or no row exists.
- Two new regression tests covering the populated-row and
missing-row paths.

sqlite3 can only bind str/bytes/int/float/None to query parameters.
Multimodal message content is a list of parts (text + image_url), which
raised 'Error binding parameter 3: type list is not supported' in
append_message and replace_messages.
In the CLI/TUI this surfaced as a visible crash when users pasted
screenshots. In the gateway it was silently swallowed by a bare except
in append_to_transcript, causing multimodal turns to be lost from the
session transcript.
Fix at the DB layer: _encode_content wraps lists/dicts as
'\\x00json:' + json.dumps(...) on write, _decode_content unwraps on
read. Plain strings are untouched, so existing FTS search, previews,
and JSONL compat are unaffected. Paired decode in get_messages,
get_messages_as_conversation, and search_messages context previews.
Regression test covers: list content round-trip, dict content
round-trip, string content stored unchanged, replace_messages with
multimodal content.
Also included: aligned fix#17522 for TUI image attachment with
paths containing spaces (see previous commit).
Remove frontend regex pre-check that truncated paths containing spaces,
quotes, or Windows drive letters. Backend _detect_file_drop correctly
handles these patterns. This fixes image attachment for common filenames
like "Screenshot 2026-04-29.png".
Add tests:
- test_input_detect_drop_path_with_spaces: attaches image with spaces in name
- test_input_detect_drop_path_with_spaces_and_remainder: remainder handling
Also restored missing in test_rollback_restore_resolves_number_and_file_path.

When a user defines `custom_providers: [{name: kimi, ...}]` and references
`provider: kimi` from fallback_model or the main config, the built-in alias
rewriting (`kimi` → `kimi-coding`) was hijacking the request before the
named-custom lookup ran. `_get_named_custom_provider` also refused to
return a match when the raw name resolved to any built-in (including aliases),
so the custom endpoint was unreachable.
Fix at both layers of the resolution chain so every caller benefits, not
just `_try_activate_fallback`:
- hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py: narrow `_get_named_custom_provider`'s
built-in-wins guard to canonical provider names only. An alias like
`kimi` that resolves to a different canonical (`kimi-coding`) no longer
blocks the custom lookup; a canonical name like `nous` still does.
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: in `resolve_provider_client`, try the named-
custom lookup with the original (pre-alias-normalization) name before the
alias-normalized one, so aliased requests reach the user's custom entry.
Also honour `explicit_base_url` and `explicit_api_key` in the API-key
provider branch so callers that pass explicit hints (e.g. fallback
activation) can override the registered defaults.
Tests added for:
- custom `kimi` shadowing built-in alias (regression for #15743)
- custom `nous` NOT shadowing canonical built-in (behaviour preserved)
- bare `kimi` without any custom entry still routing to built-in
- explicit base_url/api_key override on the API-key provider branch
Original PR #17827 by @Feranmi10 identified the same bug class and
implemented a narrower fix in `_try_activate_fallback`; this reshapes the
fix to live in the shared resolution layer so all callers benefit.

Follow-up to the previous commit. Replace the post-fetch Python re-sort (which
required dropping LIMIT/OFFSET from SQL and scanning every session row) with a
recursive CTE that walks compression-continuation chains and computes
effective_last_active per root at SQL level. The outer query can then ORDER BY
+ LIMIT efficiently, and the Python projection loop no longer has to handle
ordering.
This preserves the correctness win (old compression roots whose live tip was
touched recently surface correctly) without the O(N) scan, which matters for
users with thousands of sessions.
Adds a regression test pinning the compression-tip case at limit=1 — the
stress case that any bounded-oversample shortcut would get wrong.

- order session_search recent-mode results by last activity instead of session start time
- add an opt-in `order_by_last_active` path to `SessionDB.list_sessions_rich`
- add regression coverage for both the database ordering and recent-mode call path
The PR wired in a detached watcher that respawns manual profile gateways
after they exit. Pair that with a SIGUSR1 graceful drain (same path
systemd/launchd use) so in-flight agent runs finish instead of getting
SIGTERM'd. Fall back to SIGTERM if SIGUSR1 isn't wired or the gateway
doesn't exit within the drain budget — the watcher sees the exit and
relaunches either way.
Tested end-to-end against an orphaned gateway: graceful drain exits in
0.5s and the watcher fires the relaunch command.
When len(messages) <= protect_tail_count and a token budget is set, the
previous formula min(protect_tail_count, len(result) - 1) under-protected
the tail by one, allowing the oldest message to be summarized.
The test fails on the buggy formula (pruned == 1) and passes on the fix
(pruned == 0, tool content preserved verbatim).
Follow-up to #17963. The threaded branch of resolve_plugin_command_result
previously called Event.wait() with no timeout — a hung async plugin
handler would wedge the terminal indefinitely. Cap the wait at 30s and
raise TimeoutError instead. Added a regression test covering the hung
handler path.
The kanban PR (#17805, c86842546) added the `kanban` toolset and
`tools/kanban_tools.py`, but didn't update three pre-existing test
assertions that bake the full toolset/tool inventory:
* `tests/tools/test_registry.py::test_matches_previous_manual_builtin_tool_set`
hard-codes the manual list of builtin tool modules. `tools.kanban_tools`
was missing.
* `tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py::test_load_enabled_toolsets_rejects_disabled_mcp_env`
and `test_load_enabled_toolsets_falls_back_when_tui_env_invalid` both
expect `["memory"]` from `_load_enabled_toolsets()`. With kanban now
auto-recovered by `_get_platform_tools` (its tools live in hermes-cli's
universe but are not in CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS), the resolver returns
`["kanban", "memory"]`.
* `tests/hermes_cli/test_tools_config.py::test_get_platform_tools_preserves_explicit_empty_selection`
asserts `set()` for an explicit empty list. The recovery loop now also
surfaces `kanban`. Reframed to assert the contract the test name
describes — no CONFIGURABLE toolset gets re-enabled when the user
explicitly saved an empty list — which stays correct as more
non-configurable platform toolsets are added.
Verified the failures reproduce on clean origin/main (180a7036b) with
`.[all,dev]`-equivalent extras (fastapi, starlette, httpx, pytest-asyncio)
and that all four pass with this commit applied. CI on main itself is
currently red on these tests; this restores green for everyone's PRs.

Signal-cli sends dataMessage wrappers for profile key updates and other
metadata events that have no actual text content. These were reaching the
gateway as msg='' and triggering full agent turns for nothing.
Add early return in _handle_envelope() when both message field is empty/
missing/whitespace AND there are no attachments. Messages with media
attachments but no text still flow through.
- 12 lines added to gateway/platforms/signal.py
- 5 new tests in TestSignalContentlessEnvelope class
The Ink TUI (\`hermes --tui\` + dashboard \`/chat\`) had no wiring for the
background self-improvement review. When the review fired and patched
a skill or saved a memory entry, the change landed but the user had
no visual indication it happened — only the CLI had a print surface
for the '💾 Self-improvement review: …' line.
Changes:
- tui_gateway/server.py: in _init_session, attach
agent.background_review_callback to an _emit('review.summary',
sid, {text}) closure. Wrapped in try/except so agents with locked
attribute slots don't break session startup.
- ui-tui/src/app/createGatewayEventHandler.ts: handle 'review.summary'
by routing ev.payload.text through sys(…), matching the existing
'background.complete' pattern. Empty / whitespace payloads are
ignored so the transcript never gets a blank system line.
- ui-tui/src/gatewayTypes.ts: extend the GatewayEvent discriminated
union with { type: 'review.summary', payload?: { text?: string } }.
Gateway platforms (Telegram, Discord, Slack, …) already route the
review summary via background_review_callback → post-delivery queue
in gateway/run.py, so they pick up the new 'Self-improvement review:'
prefix from the companion run_agent change with no platform edits.
Tests:
- tests/tui_gateway/test_review_summary_callback.py (Python, 2 tests):
_init_session attaches a callback that emits the right event; the
callback path survives agents that can't accept the attribute.
- ui-tui/src/__tests__/createGatewayEventHandler.test.ts (vitest, 2
new cases): review.summary events feed sys(...) with the full text;
empty / missing payloads are no-ops.
- TypeScript type-check passes.
- tui_gateway suite: 64/64 pass.
When the self-improvement background review fires after a turn, it runs
in a bg thread and emits a ' 💾 <summary>' line to announce what it
saved to memory or skills. Two problems made this invisible to users
even when the review successfully modified a skill:
1. The print went through `_cprint` (prompt_toolkit's print_formatted_text)
on a bg thread while the CLI's PromptSession was live. Direct
print_formatted_text races with the input-area redraw and the line
can land behind/above the prompt, scrolled off without the user
seeing it.
2. The message said only '💾 Skill created.' / '💾 Memory updated'
with no indication that the self-improvement loop was the one doing
this. Users who did catch the line couldn't tell the background
review from some other agent action.
Fixes:
- `_cprint` now detects when it's called from a non-app thread with a
running prompt_toolkit Application, and routes through
`run_in_terminal` via `loop.call_soon_threadsafe`. That pauses the
input, prints the line above the prompt, and redraws — the normal
prompt_toolkit contract for bg-thread output. Direct-print fallback
preserved for the no-app / same-thread / import-error paths. Affects
every bg-thread emission, not just the review summary (curator
summaries and auxiliary failure prints benefit too).
- The summary now reads ' 💾 Self-improvement review: <summary>' in
both the CLI and the gateway `background_review_callback` path, so
the origin is unambiguous.
Tests:
- New `tests/cli/test_cprint_bg_thread.py` covers all five routing
branches (no app, app-not-running, cross-thread schedule, same-thread
direct, app-loop-attribute-error, import-error).
- New case in `tests/run_agent/test_background_review.py` asserts the
attributed prefix shows up in both `_safe_print` and
`background_review_callback`.
Live E2E: exercised _cprint from a bg thread inside a real Application
event loop; confirmed get_app_or_none() sees the app, call_soon_threadsafe
schedules run_in_terminal, and the inner _pt_print runs.
Builds on #16855 (@lsdsjy) which fixed DeepSeek v4 reasoning_content
replay via model_extra fallback + capturing tool_calls at method entry.
Kimi / Moonshot thinking mode enforces the same echo-back contract and
hits the same 400 when a tool-call turn is persisted without
reasoning_content.
- _build_assistant_message: pad branch now uses _needs_thinking_reasoning_pad()
(DeepSeek OR Kimi) instead of _needs_deepseek_tool_reasoning() alone.
- Extract _needs_thinking_reasoning_pad() and reuse it in
_copy_reasoning_content_for_api so both sites share one predicate.
- tests/run_agent/test_deepseek_reasoning_content_echo.py: add
TestBuildAssistantMessagePadsStrictProviders parametrized over DeepSeek
(attr=None, attr-absent), Kimi (attr=None), Moonshot (via base_url),
and an OpenRouter negative control that must NOT pad. Proven to fail
2/5 cases on Kimi/Moonshot without this change.
- scripts/release.py: add AUTHOR_MAP entries for lsdsjy and season179.

Alongside the existing 'least recently used' section, surface two more
rankings so users can see which of their agent-created skills actually
get exercised:
- 'most used (top 5)' — sorted by use_count descending. Hidden when every
skill has use_count=0 (noise suppression on fresh installs).
- 'least used (top 5)' — sorted by use_count ascending. Always shown
when the catalog is non-empty.
use_count started tracking real agent skill activation in PR #17932
(bump_use wired into skill_view tool + slash invocation + --skill
preload), so these rankings are now meaningful.
Tests: 3 new in tests/hermes_cli/test_curator_status.py — happy path
with mixed use_counts, zero-use suppression of the most-used section,
and the no-skills clean-empty case.
Treat skill views and edits as activity when curator reports and applies lifecycle transitions, so recently loaded or patched skills are not displayed or transitioned as never used.\n\nAdds regression tests for activity derivation, automatic transitions, and CLI status output.
restore_skill() in tools/skill_usage.py used archive_root.iterdir(), which
only walked the top level of .archive/. Skills archived under nested layouts
(e.g. .archive/openclaw-imports/<skill>/ from older archive paths or
external imports) were invisible to both the exact-match and prefix-match
candidate scans, surfacing as a misleading "skill '<name>' not found in
archive" error even though the directory existed on disk.
Switch both candidate scans to archive_root.rglob('*') so the lookup
descends into category subdirectories.
Fixes#17942
* fix(curator): split 'archived' into consolidated vs pruned in run reports
Users who watched a curator run saw skills like 'anthropic-api' listed
under 'Skills archived' and interpreted that as pruning — but the curator
had actually absorbed those skills into a new umbrella (e.g. 'llm-providers')
during the same run. The directory gets archived for safety (all removals
are recoverable), but the content still lives under a different name.
Users then 'restored' what they thought were deleted skills and ended up
with confusingly duplicated skillsets (old-name + absorbed-inside-umbrella).
Classify removed skills using this run's skill_manage tool calls:
- consolidated: content absorbed into a surviving/newly-created skill
(evidenced by a skill_manage write_file/patch/create/edit whose target
is a different skill AND whose file_path/content references the
removed skill's name)
- pruned: archived without consolidation evidence (truly stale)
REPORT.md now shows two distinct sections:
- 'Consolidated into umbrella skills' — with `removed → merged into umbrella`
- 'Pruned — archived for staleness' — pure staleness archives
run.json schema additions (backward compatible):
- counts.consolidated_this_run, counts.pruned_this_run
- consolidated: [{name, into, evidence}, ...]
- pruned: [names]
- archived: retained as the union for backward compat
Also: relabel the auto-transitions 'archived' counter to 'archived (no
LLM, pure time-based staleness)' so it's clearly distinct from LLM-pass
archives.
Tests: 9 new tests in test_curator_classification.py covering consolidation
evidence parsing (write_file/patch/create), hyphen/underscore name variants,
self-reference rejection, destination-must-exist, mixed runs, and
malformed-JSON fallback safety. Existing test_report_md_is_human_readable
updated to cover the new section names.
E2E: isolated HERMES_HOME, realistic 3-skill run, REPORT.md verified
end-to-end.
* feat(curator): hybrid model-declared + heuristic classification
Extend the consolidated-vs-pruned split with LLM-authored intent:
1. Curator prompt now requires a structured YAML block at the end of the
final response (consolidations / prunings with short rationale).
2. _parse_structured_summary() extracts it tolerantly — missing block,
malformed YAML, partial lists all fall back to heuristic cleanly.
3. _reconcile_classification() merges model intent with the tool-call
heuristic:
- Model wins on rationale when its umbrella exists post-run
- Model hallucination (umbrella doesn't exist) is downgraded to the
heuristic's finding, or pruned if there's no evidence either
- Heuristic catches model omission — consolidations the model
enumerated tools for but forgot to list get surfaced with a
'(detected via tool-call audit)' tag
4. REPORT.md now shows per-row rationale alongside 'removed → umbrella'
and flags audit-only rows so the user knows why no reason is shown.
Backward compat: run.json's 'archived' field (union) is preserved.
'pruned' is now a list of dicts with {name, source, reason};
'pruned_names' is the flat-name list for legacy consumers.
Tests: 15 new covering YAML parse edge cases (malformed, empty lists,
bare-string entries, missing fields), reconciler rules (model wins,
hallucination fallback, heuristic catches omission, prune with reason),
and an end-to-end report-render test with all four paths exercised.
Belt-and-suspenders on top of @briandevans' #17758 fix. The in-band
drain hand-off (await->create_task + session-guard preservation)
changed cleanup semantics in three places that the original PR
reasoned about but didn't test directly. Pin each invariant so a
future refactor can't silently regress them:
1. Normal single-message path still releases _active_sessions[sk] and
_session_tasks[sk] through end-of-finally. The #17758 follow-up
moved _release_session_guard under
if current_task is self._session_tasks.get(session_key)
For the 99%-common case current_task IS the stored task, so the
guard must still fire. Test would fail if the conditional were
ever tightened in a way that dropped the normal path.
2. Drain-task cancellation releases the session. If the drain task
spawned by the in-band hand-off is cancelled mid-handler (e.g.
/stop fired while draining a follow-up), its own finally must
fire _release_session_guard. Without this a cancel would leave
the session permanently pinned busy.
3. Late-arrival drain still spawns when no in-band drain preceded
it. Pre-existing path, but the #17758 follow-up added a
re-queue branch that only fires when ownership was already
handed off. When no handoff happened the else branch must still
spawn a fresh drain task — otherwise a message arriving during
stop_typing gets silently dropped.
All three tests pass against current main. Zero production code
changes.
The #1630 fix introduced a blanket ``agent_failed_early`` transcript skip
to prevent context-overflow sessions from looping. That guard also
triggers for unrelated transient failures (429 rate limits, read
timeouts, connection resets, provider 5xx) which have nothing to do with
session size — and it silently drops the user's message, so the agent
has no memory of the last turn on retry.
Split the failure classification in ``GatewayRunner._run_agent``:
* Context-overflow (``compression_exhausted`` flag, explicit
context-length phrases, or generic 400 with a long history) → keep
the existing skip, preserving the #1630/#9893 fix.
* Anything else that failed → persist just the user message so the
conversation survives a retry.
Use specific multi-word phrases (``context length``, ``token limit``,
``prompt is too long``, etc.) to match ``run_agent.py``'s own
classifier; bare ``exceed`` false-positively flagged "rate limit
exceeded" as context overflow.
Covered by new tests in ``tests/gateway/test_7100_transient_failure_transcript.py``
and the existing #1630 suite still passes.
Existing test_tar_pipe_commands asserted the literal substring
'tar xf - -C /' in ssh_str, which is no longer present after the
#17767 fix adds --no-overwrite-dir between 'tar xf -' and '-C /'.
Split the one substring check into three independent assertions for
the tar stdin mode, the new --no-overwrite-dir flag (regression guard
for #17767), and the extract target.
_set_nested unconditionally replaced any non-dict value with an empty
dict when walking the dotted path, which silently destroyed list-typed
config nodes the moment someone set a value with a numeric index
(e.g. 'hermes config set custom_providers.0.api_key NEW'). Any sibling
entries and any fields inside the targeted entry that the user didn't
write were lost.
Fix:
- _set_nested now detects list nodes and navigates by numeric index,
and preserves both dicts AND lists at intermediate positions (scalars
are still replaced so bare-scalar -> nested overrides keep working).
- set_config_value drops its duplicated navigation logic and calls
_set_nested instead -- single source of truth for the rules.
Regression tests (tests/hermes_cli/test_set_config_value.py):
- test_indexed_set_preserves_sibling_list_entries -- exact #17876 repro
- test_indexed_set_preserves_non_targeted_fields -- inner-dict fields survive
- test_deeper_nesting_through_list -- dict -> list -> dict -> scalar path
35/35 existing + new tests pass.
E2E-verified with the issue's repro against a real on-disk config.yaml --
list stays a list, entry 0 updated, entry 1 intact.
Closes#17876
Long-lived Gateway processes were sending duplicate tool names to
providers that enforce uniqueness:
- DeepSeek: 'Tool names must be unique.'
- Xiaomi MiMo: 'tools contains duplicate names: lcm_expand'
- Moonshot/Kimi: 'function name lcm_grep is duplicated'
TUI was unaffected because TUI runs with quiet_mode=False and skips the
cache entirely.
Root cause (two layered bugs)
- model_tools.get_tool_definitions(quiet_mode=True) memoizes its result
in _tool_defs_cache. The cache-hit path returned list(cached) (safe),
but the FIRST uncached call stored and returned the SAME object.
run_agent.py mutates self.tools (memory + LCM context-engine schemas)
in-place, so the very first agent init in a Gateway process
poisoned the cache, and every subsequent init appended LCM schemas
again on top of the already-polluted list.
- run_agent.py's context-engine injection (lcm_grep / lcm_describe /
lcm_expand) had no dedup, unlike the memory-tools injection right
above it which already skips already-present names.
Fix (defense in depth, per the issue's suggested fix)
- model_tools.get_tool_definitions: on the uncached branch, cache the
computed list but return list(result) to the caller. Same pattern as
the cache-hit path.
- run_agent.py: build _existing_tool_names from self.tools and skip
schemas whose names are already present, mirroring the memory-tools
block. This also defends against plugin paths that may register the
same schemas via ctx.register_tool().
Tests (tests/test_get_tool_definitions_cache_isolation.py)
- test_first_uncached_call_returns_fresh_list \u2014 pins the fix; without
it, first-call alias caused all the symptoms.
- test_cache_hit_returns_fresh_list \u2014 pre-existing behavior stays.
- test_caller_mutation_does_not_poison_cache \u2014 simulates run_agent
appending lcm_grep / lcm_expand to the returned list and asserts the
next call doesn't see them.
- test_repeated_caller_mutation_does_not_accumulate \u2014 reproduces the
long-lived Gateway accumulation pattern across 5 agent inits.
- test_non_quiet_mode_does_not_use_cache \u2014 sanity, explains why TUI
was fine.
5/5 pass on the new file; 23/23 still pass on tests/test_model_tools.py.
When a user sets model.context_length in config.yaml, the value was only
used for Hermes' internal compression decisions (context_compressor) but
NOT for Ollama's num_ctx parameter. Ollama auto-detects context from GGUF
metadata (often 256K+) and allocates that much VRAM regardless of the
user's config — causing OOM on smaller GPUs like the P100 (16GB).
Root cause: two separate context values existed independently:
- context_compressor.context_length = config value (e.g. 65536) ✓
- _ollama_num_ctx = GGUF metadata value (e.g. 256000) ✗ ignored config
Changes:
1. Cap Ollama num_ctx to config context_length (run_agent.py)
When model.context_length is explicitly set and no explicit
ollama_num_ctx override exists, cap the auto-detected GGUF value
to the user's context_length. This is the core fix — it prevents
Ollama from allocating more VRAM than the user budgeted.
2. Pass config_context_length through all secondary call sites
Several paths called get_model_context_length() without the config
override, falling through to the 256K default fallback:
- cli.py: @-reference expansion and /model switch display
- gateway/run.py: @-reference expansion and /model switch display
- tui_gateway/server.py: @-reference expansion
- hermes_cli/model_switch.py: resolve_display_context_length()
3. Normalize root-level context_length in config (hermes_cli/config.py)
_normalize_root_model_keys() now migrates root-level context_length
into the model section, matching existing behavior for provider and
base_url. Users who wrote `context_length: 65536` at the YAML root
instead of under `model:` had it silently ignored.
4. Fix misleading comments (agent/model_metadata.py)
DEFAULT_FALLBACK_CONTEXT is 256K (CONTEXT_PROBE_TIERS[0]), not 128K
as two comments stated.
Tests: 3 new tests for root-level context_length normalization.
All existing context_length tests pass (96 tests).
The busy-session handler (_handle_active_session_busy_message) bypassed the
authorization gate that the cold path enforces via _is_user_authorized(). In
shared-thread contexts (Slack threads, Telegram forum topics, Discord threads)
where thread_sessions_per_user=False (the default), all participants share one
session_key. An unauthorized user posting in the same thread as an authorized
user would hit the active-session branch, skip the auth check, and have their
text merged into _pending_messages or injected via agent.interrupt().
This commit adds the same _is_user_authorized() check at the top of the busy
handler, before any message queuing, steering, or interrupt logic. Unauthorized
messages are silently dropped (return True) with a warning log — matching the
cold-path behavior.
Affected platforms: Slack, Telegram, Discord, any adapter with shared-session
thread contexts.
Closes#17775
The `gemini` provider also serves Gemma (e.g. `gemma-4-31b-it`) and
historically other Google models like PaLM. Those reject
`extra_body.thinking_config` with HTTP 400:
Unknown name "thinking_config": Cannot find field
`_build_gemini_thinking_config()` was unconditionally producing a
config dict for any model on the `gemini` / `google-gemini-cli`
provider, which `ChatCompletionsTransport.build_kwargs` then dropped
into `extra_body["thinking_config"]`. The result: every chat turn for
Gemma users on the gemini provider blew up at the API edge.
The fix is the same shape Hermes already uses for the Gemini-2.5 vs
Gemini-3 family clamping: normalise the model id, strip an
`OpenRouter`-style `google/` prefix, and short-circuit early when the
result doesn't start with `gemini`. We return `None` rather than
`{"includeThoughts": False}`, because the API rejects the field name
itself — even the polite "off" form trips the same 400.
Three regression tests cover Gemma with reasoning enabled, Gemma with
reasoning disabled, and the `google/gemma-…` OpenRouter-style id; the
existing Gemini-2.5 / Gemini-3 / `google/gemini-…` cases keep passing
because the Gemini guard fires after the prefix strip.

Ports PR #17888's send_multiple_images ABC to every gateway platform that
has a native multi-attachment API, so images arrive as a single bundled
message instead of N separate ones.
Native overrides:
- Telegram: send_media_group (10 photos per album, chunks over); animated
GIFs peeled off and routed through send_animation (albums don't support
animations)
- Discord: channel.send(files=[...]) (10 attachments per message, chunks
over); URL images downloaded into BytesIO so they render inline; forum
channels use create_thread with files=[...]
- Slack: files_upload_v2(file_uploads=[...]) (10 per call, chunks over);
respects thread_ts; records thread participation
- Mattermost: single post with file_ids list (5 per post — Mattermost cap,
chunks over)
- Email: single SMTP message with multiple MIME attachments (no chunk cap,
SMTP size governs); remote URLs remain linked in body (parity with
existing send_image)
All platforms fall back to the base per-image loop on any failure, so a
single bad image in a batch never loses the rest.
Matrix, WhatsApp, and single-attachment platforms (BlueBubbles, Feishu,
WeCom, WeChat, DingTalk) continue to use the base default loop — their
server APIs only accept one attachment per message anyway.
Tests: adds tests/gateway/test_send_multiple_images.py with 19 targeted
tests covering base default loop, chunking, animation peel-off, fallback
paths, and empty-batch no-ops across all five new overrides.

Adds a new `send_multiple_images` method to the ``BasePlatformAdapter``
that implements the default "One image per message" loop and allows for
platform-specific overriding.
Implements such an override for the Signal adapter, batching images
and trying (best-effort) to work around rate-limits for voluminous
batches using a specific scheduler.
Also implements batching + rate-limit handling in the `send_message`
tool.
New tests added for the Signal adapter, its rate-limit scheduler and the
`send_message` tool
Merge resolved conflicts in web/src/{i18n/{en,zh,types}.ts,lib/api.ts}
by keeping both this branch's `profiles` additions and upstream's new
`models` page additions.
Copilot review feedback:
- Implement POST /api/profiles/{name}/open-terminal endpoint (already
present); align Windows branch to `cmd.exe /c start "" <cmd>` so it
matches the new test and spawns a fresh window instead of /k reusing
the parent console.
- Move backslash escaping out of the macOS AppleScript f-string
expression (Python <3.12 disallows backslashes inside f-string
expression parts).
- Patch `_get_wrapper_dir` via monkeypatch in
test_profiles_create_creates_wrapper_alias_when_safe so the test no
longer writes to the real `~/.local/bin`.
- Extend test_dashboard_browser_safe_imports to scan `.ts` files in
addition to `.tsx`.
- Switch upstream's new ModelsPage.tsx away from the `@nous-research/ui`
root barrel onto per-component subpaths to satisfy the stricter scan.
- Fix NouiTypography `leading-1.4` -> `leading-[1.4]` so Tailwind
actually emits the line-height for the `sm` variant.
- Guard ProfilesPage.openSoulEditor against out-of-order responses by
tracking the latest requested profile via a ref.
- Replace ProfilesPage's hand-rolled setup command with a fetch to
`/api/profiles/{name}/setup-command` so the copied command always
matches what the backend would actually run (handles wrapper-alias
collisions and reserved names correctly).
- Wire SOUL.md textarea label `htmlFor` -> textarea `id` so screen
readers and clicking the label work as expected.
The sandbox-side `_call()` in both the UDS and file-based transports was
not thread-safe, so scripts that call tools from multiple threads (e.g.
`ThreadPoolExecutor` over `terminal()`) inside a single `execute_code`
run could silently receive each other's responses.
Root cause:
* UDS transport — a single module-level `_sock` was shared across all
threads; the newline-framed protocol has no request-id; and the
server-side RPC loop handles one connection serially. With concurrent
callers, each thread would `sendall()` then race to `recv()` the next
newline-terminated response from the shared buffer, so responses got
delivered to the wrong caller.
* File transport — `_seq += 1` is a non-atomic read-modify-write, so
two threads could allocate the same sequence number and clobber each
other's request/response files.
Fix: guard `_call()` with a `threading.Lock` in the UDS case (covering
send+recv), and guard `_seq` allocation with a lock in the file case.
No protocol change.
Regression tests cover both the generated-source level (lock is present
and used) and an end-to-end concurrency test: running a sandboxed
ThreadPoolExecutor of 10 `terminal()` calls against a slow mock
dispatcher, asserting every caller sees its own tagged response. The
test fails without the fix (10/10 mismatched, matching real-world
repro) and passes with it.
The v11→v12 migrate_config step writes the API mode for every entry
under the new transport: field (per the v12+ schema in
_normalize_custom_provider_entry). _get_named_custom_provider
read the legacy api_mode: spelling only, so for every migrated
config the lookup returned None for the api mode.
Downstream, _resolve_named_custom_runtime then falls back through
custom_provider.get("api_mode") or _detect_api_mode_for_url(base_url)
or "chat_completions". For loopback URLs (proxies, local servers)
or unknown hostnames, the URL detector returns None and the resolver
silently downgrades the configured codex_responses /
anthropic_messages transport to chat_completions. Requests
get sent to /v1/chat/completions instead of /v1/responses or
/v1/messages and the provider 404s — or worse, returns a usable
chat_completions response while skipping the model's reasoning /
caching surface.
Fix: read both field names — entry.get("api_mode") or
entry.get("transport") — at the two match-by-key + match-by-name
branches in _get_named_custom_provider. The runtime normaliser
_normalize_custom_provider_entry already accepts both spellings;
this lifts the same compat into the direct-dict reader so v12+
configs work without going through the shim.
Adds three regression tests under
tests/hermes_cli/test_user_providers_model_switch.py:
- transport field is read on the match-by-key branch
- legacy api_mode spelling still works for hand-edited configs
- transport is read on the match-by-display-name branch
run_job() ignored the result's `failed=True` / `completed=False` flags
that agent.run_conversation populates on API exhaustion, mid-run
interrupts, and model aborts. Because final_response on those paths is
often a non-empty error string ("API call failed after 3 retries:
Request timed out."), the existing empty-response soft-fail in
_process_job did not trip either: the error text was delivered as if it
were the agent's reply and last_status was set to "ok" with no error
notification. Detect those flags right after the dict-shape guard and
raise so the existing except handler builds the proper failure tuple,
preserving the agent's error message via result["error"].
Adds a parametrized regression covering: API-retry-exhausted with error
text in final_response, completed=False with no final_response,
completed=False without an explicit failed flag, and the partial-reply
plus failed=True case. Plus a guard that a normal completed=True success
result is still treated as success.

When the in-band pending-message drain spawns a fresh task and
transfers ownership via _session_tasks[session_key] = drain_task,
the original task still unwinds through the finally block. The
drain task picks up the same interrupt_event in its own
_process_message_background entry, so an unconditional
_release_session_guard(session_key, guard=interrupt_event) at the
end of the finally matches and deletes _active_sessions[session_key]
while the drain task is still pending its first await.
A concurrent inbound message arriving in that handoff window passes
the Level-1 guard (no entry exists) and spawns a second
_process_message_background for the same session — two agents on
one session_key, duplicate responses, duplicate tool calls.
Fix: only call _release_session_guard when the current task still
owns _session_tasks[session_key]. When ownership has been
transferred to a drain task, leave _active_sessions populated; the
drain task's own lifecycle releases it. This mirrors the
late-arrival drain path in the same finally block, which already
leaves both entries alone after handing off.
Also reorder stdlib imports in the new regression test file to
match the gateway test convention (stdlib before third-party).
Regression test: capture _active_sessions[sk] identity at every
handler entry across a 2-step in-band drain chain and assert the
guard Event identity stays the same. Pre-fix, the original task's
finally deletes the entry, the drain task falls through to the
`or asyncio.Event()` branch, and a fresh Event is installed —
identity diverges. Post-fix, the entry is preserved and the drain
task reuses the original Event.

`_process_message_background` finished a turn, found a queued
follow-up, and drained it via `await
self._process_message_background(pending_event, session_key)`. Each
chained follow-up added a frame to the call stack instead of starting
fresh. Under sustained pending-queue activity (e.g. a user sending
follow-ups faster than the agent finishes turns) the C stack would
exhaust at ~2000 nested frames and SIGSEGV the process.
Mirror the late-arrival drain pattern that already exists in the same
function: spawn a new `asyncio.create_task(...)` for the pending event
and return so the current frame can unwind. The new task takes
ownership via `_session_tasks[session_key]`.
The late-arrival drain in `finally` could now race with the in-band
drain across the `await typing_task` / `await stop_typing` window, so
add a guard: if `_session_tasks[session_key]` is no longer the current
task, an in-band drain already spawned a follow-up task — re-queue the
late-arrival event so that task picks it up after its current event,
instead of spawning a second concurrent task for the same session_key.
Regression test (`test_pending_drain_no_recursion.py`) chains 12
follow-ups and asserts the recorded
`_process_message_background` stack depth stays bounded at handler
entry. Pre-fix: depths grow linearly `[1,2,3,…,12]`. Post-fix: all
depths are `1`.
`test_duplicate_reply_suppression::test_stale_response_suppressed_when_interrupted`
called `_process_message_background` directly and implicitly relied on
the old recursive `await` semantic — updated to wait for the spawned
drain task before checking the sent list.

Piper (OHF-Voice/piper1-gpl) is a fast, local neural TTS engine from the
Home Assistant project that supports 44 languages with zero API keys.
Adds it as a native built-in provider alongside edge/neutts/kittentts,
installable via 'hermes tools' with one keystroke.
What ships:
- New 'piper' built-in provider in tools/tts_tool.py
- Lazy import via _import_piper()
- Module-level voice cache keyed on (model_path, use_cuda) so switching
voices doesn't invalidate older cached voices
- _resolve_piper_voice_path() accepts either an absolute .onnx path or a
voice name (auto-downloaded on first use via 'python -m
piper.download_voices --download-dir <cache>')
- Voice cache at ~/.hermes/cache/piper-voices/ (profile-aware via
get_hermes_dir)
- Optional SynthesisConfig knobs: length_scale, noise_scale,
noise_w_scale, volume, normalize_audio, use_cuda — passed through
only when configured, so older piper-tts versions aren't broken
- WAV output then ffmpeg conversion path (same as neutts/kittentts) so
Telegram voice bubbles work when ffmpeg is present
- Piper added to BUILTIN_TTS_PROVIDERS so a user's
tts.providers.piper.command cannot shadow the native provider
(regression test included)
- 'hermes tools' wizard entry
- Piper appears under Voice and TTS as local free, with
'pip install piper-tts' auto-install via post_setup handler
- Prints voice-catalog URL and default-voice info after install
- config.yaml defaults
- tts.piper.voice defaults to en_US-lessac-medium
- Commented advanced knobs for discoverability
- Docs
- New 'Piper (local, 44 languages)' section in features/tts.md
explaining install path, voice switching, pre-downloaded voices,
and advanced knobs
- Piper listed in the ten-provider table and ffmpeg table
- Custom-command-providers section updated to drop the Piper example
(now native) and add a piper-custom example for users with their own
trained .onnx models
- overview.md bumps provider count to ten
- Tests (tests/tools/test_tts_piper.py, 16 tests)
- Registration (BUILTIN_TTS_PROVIDERS, PROVIDER_MAX_TEXT_LENGTH)
- _resolve_piper_voice_path across every branch: direct .onnx path,
cached voice name, fresh download with correct CLI args, download
failure, successful-exit-but-missing-files, empty voice to default
- _generate_piper_tts: loads voice once, reuses cache, voice-name
download wiring, advanced knobs flow through SynthesisConfig
- text_to_speech_tool end-to-end dispatch and missing-package error
- check_tts_requirements: piper availability toggles the return value
- Regression guard: piper cannot be shadowed by a command provider
with the same name
- Pre-existing test_tts_mistral test broadened to mock the new
piper/kittentts/command-provider checks (otherwise it false-passes
when piper is installed in the test venv)
E2E verification (live):
Actual pip install piper-tts, config piper + en_US-lessac-low,
text_to_speech_tool call, voice auto-downloaded from HuggingFace,
WAV synthesized, ffmpeg-converted to Ogg/Opus. Second call hits the
cache (~60ms). Cache dir populated with .onnx and .onnx.json.
This caught a real bug during development: the first pass used '-d' as
the download-dir flag; the actual piper.download_voices CLI wants
'--download-dir'. Fixed before PR opened.
Six tests in this file failed in CI (-n auto) after #17832 landed because
other tests on the same xdist worker reload hermes_cli.main:
tests/hermes_cli/test_env_loader.py:85-86
sys.modules.pop('hermes_cli.main', None)
importlib.import_module('hermes_cli.main')
tests/hermes_cli/test_skills_subparser.py:24-25
del sys.modules['hermes_cli.main']
When either ran first on a worker, our top-of-file
'from hermes_cli.main import _kill_stale_dashboard_processes' captured a
stale function object whose __globals__ points at the old module dict.
patch('hermes_cli.main._find_stale_dashboard_pids', ...) then patched the
new module, but the stale function resolved the dependency via its stale
__globals__, so every patch became a no-op: pids=[] → early return → no
signals, no output, assertions failed.
Fix: add an autouse fixture that rebinds the three module-level names to
whatever is currently live in sys.modules['hermes_cli.main'] before each
test runs. The pollutants in the other two files are load-bearing for
their own tests, so fixing it on the consumer side is correct.

Voscko reported curator.auxiliary.provider/model was advertised in the
docs but ignored — the review fork read only model.provider/default. The
narrow fix would wire the one-off key through, but that leaves curator
as a parallel system: not in `hermes model` → auxiliary picker, not in
the dashboard Models tab, missing per-task base_url/api_key/timeout/
extra_body.
Unify curator with the rest of the aux task system so `hermes model`
and the dashboard configure it like every other aux task.
Four sources of truth updated:
- hermes_cli/config.py — add 'curator' slot to DEFAULT_CONFIG.auxiliary
(timeout=600 since reviews run long), drop the one-off curator.auxiliary
block from DEFAULT_CONFIG.curator.
- hermes_cli/main.py — add ('curator', 'Curator', 'skill-usage review pass')
to _AUX_TASKS so the CLI picker offers it.
- hermes_cli/web_server.py — add 'curator' to _AUX_TASK_SLOTS so the
dashboard REST endpoint accepts it.
- web/src/pages/ModelsPage.tsx — add Curator entry so the dashboard
Models tab renders the task.
agent/curator.py _resolve_review_model() now reads auxiliary.curator
first (canonical), falls back to legacy curator.auxiliary (with an info
log asking users to migrate), then falls back to the main chat model.
Pre-unification users keep working.
Docs updated: docs/user-guide/features/curator.md now points at
`hermes model` → auxiliary → Curator and the dashboard Models tab.
Tests: 6 unit tests on _resolve_review_model (auto default, canonical
slot honored, partial override fallback, legacy fallback with
deprecation log assertion, new-wins-over-legacy, empty-config safety)
plus a cross-registry test that curator is wired into all four sources
of truth. test_aux_tasks_keys_all_exist_in_default_config already
covers the DEFAULT_CONFIG ↔ _AUX_TASKS invariant.
Reported by Voscko on Discord.
UserMessageChunk and AgentMessageChunk do not have a message_id field
in the ACP schema. Passing it silently dropped the kwarg (pydantic
does not raise on unknown init kwargs here) and the subsequent test
assertions on .message_id raised AttributeError. Strip the dead
plumbing (uuid import, message_id= kwarg on both chunk types, unused
session_id/index parameters) and remove the matching .message_id
asserts from the test.
Adds a deterministic pre-check on top of htsh's exception-based fallback:
before calling /content/abstract or /content/overview on a non-pseudo URI,
probe /api/v1/fs/stat. If the server says the URI is a file, route straight
to /content/read instead of eating a failing 500 round-trip.
This is the same idea pty819 and chennest independently landed in PRs
#12757 and #12937 — merged here on top of htsh's broader fix so we keep
pseudo-URI normalization and v0.3.3 browse-shape handling while avoiding
the slow exception path on servers that return a raised 500 every time.
The exception fallback from #5886 stays in place for environments where
fs/stat is unavailable or returns an unfamiliar shape.
Also credits pty819, chennest, and htsh in AUTHOR_MAP so future release
notes attribute them correctly.
OpenViking returns 500 for /content/abstract and /content/overview when URI points to mem_*.md files.
Add resilient fallback to /content/read for non-pseudo summary file URIs while preserving pseudo summary normalization.
Also add regression tests for fallback behavior.
`hermes dashboard` is a long-lived foreground server that users often
start and forget about, sometimes in a shell they've since closed. We
didn't have a way to stop it — users had to find the PID manually.
Adds two lifecycle flags that reuse the same detection + termination
path the post-`hermes update` cleanup (PR #17832) uses:
hermes dashboard --status
List running hermes dashboard processes with PID + cmdline.
Exit 0, informational.
hermes dashboard --stop
Terminate all running dashboards (3s grace then force-kill survivors).
Exit 0 if none remain, 1 if any couldn't be stopped.
Windows uses `taskkill /F` as before.
Both flags short-circuit before any fastapi/uvicorn import so they work
even on installations where the dashboard extras aren't installed —
useful when you're cleaning up after uninstalling.
The kill helper gained an optional `reason=...` param so the output
reads "(requested via --stop)" instead of the post-update-specific
"running backend no longer matches the updated frontend" wording.
E2E: `hermes dashboard --status` with nothing running prints the
empty message; with a fake `hermes dashboard ...` cmdline spawned via
`exec -a`, `--status` lists it, `--stop` terminates it (exit -15),
and a follow-up `--status` returns empty.
Reshape of PR #17211 (@versun). Lets users wire any local or external
TTS CLI into Hermes without adding engine-specific Python code. Users
declare any number of named providers in config.yaml and switch between
them with tts.provider: <name>, alongside the built-ins (edge, openai,
elevenlabs, …).
Config shape:
tts:
provider: piper-en
providers:
piper-en:
type: command
command: 'piper -m ~/model.onnx -f {output_path} < {input_path}'
output_format: wav
Placeholders: {input_path}, {text_path}, {output_path}, {format},
{voice}, {model}, {speed}. Use {{ / }} for literal braces.
Key behavior:
- Built-in provider names always win — a tts.providers.openai entry
cannot shadow the native OpenAI provider.
- type: command is the default when command: is set.
- Placeholder values are shell-quote-aware (bare / single / double
context), so paths with spaces and shell metacharacters are safe.
- Default delivery is a regular audio attachment. voice_compatible: true
opts in to Telegram voice-bubble delivery via ffmpeg Opus conversion.
- Command failures (non-zero exit, timeout, empty output) surface to
the agent with stderr/stdout included so you can debug from chat.
- Process-tree kill on timeout (Unix killpg, Windows taskkill /T).
- max_text_length defaults to 5000 for command providers; override
under tts.providers.<name>.max_text_length.
Tests: tests/tools/test_tts_command_providers.py — 42 new tests cover
provider resolution, shell-quote context, placeholder rendering with
injection payloads, timeout, non-zero exit, empty output, voice_compatible
opt-in, and end-to-end dispatch through text_to_speech_tool. All 88
pre-existing TTS tests still pass.
Docs: new "Custom command providers" section in
website/docs/user-guide/features/tts.md with three worked examples
(Piper, VoxCPM, MLX-Kokoro), placeholder reference, optional keys,
behavior notes, and security caveat.
E2E-verified live: isolated HERMES_HOME, command provider declared in
config.yaml, text_to_speech_tool dispatches through the registered
shell command and the output file is produced as expected.

`hermes update` previously just printed a warning when it detected a
running `hermes dashboard` process from the previous version, telling
the user to kill and restart it themselves. In practice dashboards get
started and forgotten, so the warning was routinely ignored and users
ended up with a silent frontend/backend mismatch (new JS bundle served
against the old in-memory Python backend, e.g. new auth headers the old
code doesn't recognise → every API call 401s).
The dashboard has no service manager, no PID file, and we don't record
the original launch args (--host, --port, --insecure, --tui, --no-open)
so we can't auto-restart it. But we CAN stop it, which is what the
user wants — the failure mode when the stale process is left alive is
worse than the dashboard just being down.
- POSIX: SIGTERM, poll for ~3s, SIGKILL any survivors.
- Windows: `taskkill /PID <pid> /F`.
- Print each PID's outcome plus a one-line restart hint.
- Detection logic is unchanged (same ps / wmic scan, same guards
against the `pgrep -f` greedy-match trap from #16872 and the
#17049 wmic UnicodeDecodeError fix).
Also split the old monolithic `_warn_stale_dashboard_processes` into
`_find_stale_dashboard_pids` (scan) + `_kill_stale_dashboard_processes`
(kill), keeping the old name as an alias so any external callers still
work.
E2E verified: spawned a fake `hermes dashboard` cmdline via
`exec -a 'hermes dashboard …' sleep 300`, ran
`_kill_stale_dashboard_processes()`, confirmed SIGTERM exit (-15)
and that a post-scan returns an empty PID list.
Three narrow fixes targeting the remaining red checks after #17828:
1. ui-tui/src/app/slash/commands/ops.ts (Docker Build):
/reload-mcp's local params type annotated session_id: string
while ctx.sid is string | null. Widen to string | null —
matches every other rpc call site and the test harness which passes
{ session_id: null }. Fixes TS2322 on line 86. The rpc signature
itself is Record<string, unknown>, so this is purely a local
typing fix, no behavioral change.
2. tests/plugins/test_achievements_plugin.py (13 cascading test failures):
_install_fake_session_db did a raw sys.modules['hermes_state'] =
fake_module without restoration, leaking the fake across xdist
worker boundaries. Downstream tests doing from hermes_state import
SessionDB got a module whose SessionDB was lambda: fake_db
— 6 test_hermes_state.py tests failed with AttributeError: 'function'
object has no attribute '_sanitize_fts5_query' / _contains_cjk,
and 7 test_860_dedup.py tests failed with TypeError: got unexpected
keyword argument 'db_path' (real code calls SessionDB(db_path=...)).
Fix: stash monkeypatch on the plugin_api module object in the
fixture, and have the helper do monkeypatch.setitem(sys.modules,
'hermes_state', fake_module) for auto-restoration at test teardown.
3. tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py (WS race):
TestPtyWebSocket::test_pub_broadcasts_to_events_subscribers hit the
30s test timeout on CI. websocket_connect returns after
ws.accept() — but /api/events registers the subscriber in
_event_channels on the NEXT await (inside _event_lock). A
publish immediately after connect could race ahead of registration
and be dropped, and the subsequent receive_text() blocked until
SIGALRM killed the test. Fix: poll _event_channels after the
subscriber connects, before publishing.
Validation:
scripts/run_tests.sh tests/plugins/test_achievements_plugin.py
tests/run_agent/test_860_dedup.py
tests/test_hermes_state.py
tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py 338 passed
cd ui-tui && npm run type-check clean
cd ui-tui && npm run build clean
Remaining red checks are pure infra (Nix ubuntu hits
TwirpErrorResponse ResourceExhausted on the GH Actions cache API; Nix
macos bounces between npm build openssl-legacy and cache rate-limits)
and cannot be fixed in the codebase.
