auth_type was "***" instead of "api_key" and api_key_env_vars was
("OPEN...",) instead of ("OPENCODE_GO_API_KEY",). This was introduced
in 35d948b6 when a secret redaction tool masked these values during
the Kilo Code provider commit. OpenCode Go provider was completely
broken as a result.
When 'hermes update' stashes local changes and the restore hits
conflicts, the previous behavior silently ran 'git reset --hard HEAD'
to clean up. This could surprise users who didn't realize their
working tree was being nuked.
Now the conflict handler:
- Lists the specific conflicted files
- Reassures the user their stash is preserved
- Asks before resetting (interactive mode)
- Auto-resets in non-interactive mode (prompt_user=False)
- If declined, leaves the working tree as-is with guidance
When `hermes update` stashes local changes and the subsequent
`git stash apply` fails or leaves unmerged files, the conflict markers
(<<<<<<< etc.) were left in the working tree, making Hermes unrunnable
until manually cleaned up.
Now the update command runs `git reset --hard HEAD` to restore a clean
working tree before exiting, and also detects unmerged files even when
git stash apply reports success.
Closes#2348
Only honor config.model.base_url for Anthropic resolution when
config.model.provider is actually "anthropic". This prevents a Codex
(or other provider) base_url from leaking into Anthropic runtime and
auxiliary client paths, which would send requests to the wrong
endpoint.
Closes#2384
Add has_usable_secret() to reject empty, short (<4 char), and common
placeholder API key values (changeme, your_api_key, placeholder, etc.)
throughout the auth/runtime resolution chain.
Update list_available_providers() to use provider-specific auth status
via get_auth_status() instead of resolve_runtime_provider(), preventing
cross-provider key fallback from making providers appear available when
they aren't actually configured.
Preserve keyless custom endpoint support by checking via base URL.

When the gateway fails to connect (e.g. PrivilegedIntentsRequired,
missing token), systemd's default RestartSec=10 with no start rate
limit causes rapid reconnect storms flooding logs and triggering
platform-side rate limits.
- StartLimitIntervalSec=600 + StartLimitBurst=5 in [Unit] (max 5
restarts per 10 min)
- RestartSec: 10 → 30
- Applied to both templates in gateway.py and scripts/hermes-gateway
Same bug as opencode-zen/go — alibaba fell through to the OpenRouter
model list instead of using _setup_provider_model_selection() which
probes the provider's own /models endpoint.
All user-selectable providers now have correct model selection routing.
After selecting OpenCode Zen or Go as provider in hermes setup, the
model selection page showed OpenRouter models because these providers
weren't in the list that routes to _setup_provider_model_selection().
They fell through to the else branch which shows the OpenRouter catalog.
Users ended up with an OpenCode API key but an OpenRouter model name,
causing 'Provider resolver returned an empty API key' on first use.
Fix: add opencode-zen and opencode-go to the provider list that uses
_setup_provider_model_selection() for live /models detection.
Fresh installs without pull.rebase configured hit a git error when
running hermes update because git doesn't know how to reconcile
divergent branches. --ff-only is the right strategy: it works for the
normal case (local branch is behind remote) and fails cleanly if the
user somehow has local commits, rather than silently rebasing them.
The top-level 'toolsets' key in config.yaml was never read at runtime.
Tool selection uses platform_toolsets (per-platform) or the --toolsets
CLI flag. The key existed in load_cli_config() defaults and the example
config as 'toolsets: [all]', misleading users into thinking it
controlled tool availability.
- Remove from load_cli_config() hardcoded defaults
- Remove from hermes config show output
- Replace in cli-config.yaml.example with deprecation note pointing
to platform_toolsets and hermes tools
Two bugs in the save/load roundtrip for platform_toolsets:
1. _save_platform_tools preserved composite toolset entries (hermes-cli,
hermes-telegram, etc.) because they weren't in configurable_keys.
These composites include ALL _HERMES_CORE_TOOLS, so having hermes-cli
in the saved list alongside individual keys negated any disables —
the subset check always found the disabled toolset's tools via the
composite entry.
Fix: also filter out known TOOLSETS keys from preserved entries. Only
truly unknown entries (MCP server names, custom entries) are kept.
2. _get_platform_tools used reverse subset inference to determine which
configurable toolsets were enabled. This is inherently broken when
tools appear in multiple toolsets (e.g. HA tools in both the
homeassistant toolset and _HERMES_CORE_TOOLS).
Fix: when the saved list contains explicit configurable keys (meaning
the user has configured this platform), use direct membership instead
of subset inference. The fallback path still handles legacy configs
that only have a composite entry like hermes-cli.
- Changed the ANSI escape code for gold color in cli.py and banner.py to use true-color format (#FFD700) for better visual consistency.
- Enhanced the _on_tool_progress method in HermesCLI to update the TUI spinner with tool execution status, improving user feedback during operations.
These changes improve the visual representation and user experience in the command-line interface.

Adds /queue <prompt> (alias /q) that queues a message for the next
turn while the agent is busy, without interrupting the current run.
- CLI: /queue <prompt> puts it in _pending_input for the next turn
- Gateway: /queue <prompt> creates a pending MessageEvent on the
adapter, picked up after the current agent run finishes
- Enter still interrupts as usual (no behavior change)
- /queue with no prompt shows usage
- /queue when agent is idle tells user to just type normally

Replace the fragile hardcoded context length system with a multi-source
resolution chain that correctly identifies context windows per provider.
Key changes:
- New agent/models_dev.py: Fetches and caches the models.dev registry
(3800+ models across 100+ providers with per-provider context windows).
In-memory cache (1hr TTL) + disk cache for cold starts.
- Rewritten get_model_context_length() resolution chain:
0. Config override (model.context_length)
1. Custom providers per-model context_length
2. Persistent disk cache
3. Endpoint /models (local servers)
4. Anthropic /v1/models API (max_input_tokens, API-key only)
5. OpenRouter live API (existing, unchanged)
6. Nous suffix-match via OpenRouter (dot/dash normalization)
7. models.dev registry lookup (provider-aware)
8. Thin hardcoded defaults (broad family patterns)
9. 128K fallback (was 2M)
- Provider-aware context: same model now correctly resolves to different
context windows per provider (e.g. claude-opus-4.6: 1M on Anthropic,
128K on GitHub Copilot). Provider name flows through ContextCompressor.
- DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS shrunk from 80+ entries to ~16 broad patterns.
models.dev replaces the per-model hardcoding.
- CONTEXT_PROBE_TIERS changed from [2M, 1M, 512K, 200K, 128K, 64K, 32K]
to [128K, 64K, 32K, 16K, 8K]. Unknown models no longer start at 2M.
- hermes model: prompts for context_length when configuring custom
endpoints. Supports shorthand (32k, 128K). Saved to custom_providers
per-model config.
- custom_providers schema extended with optional models dict for
per-model context_length (backward compatible).
- Nous Portal: suffix-matches bare IDs (claude-opus-4-6) against
OpenRouter's prefixed IDs (anthropic/claude-opus-4.6) with dot/dash
normalization. Handles all 15 current Nous models.
- Anthropic direct: queries /v1/models for max_input_tokens. Only works
with regular API keys (sk-ant-api*), not OAuth tokens. Falls through
to models.dev for OAuth users.
Tests: 5574 passed (18 new tests for models_dev + updated probe tiers)

Based on PR #1859 by @magi-morph (too stale to cherry-pick, reimplemented).
GPT-5.x models reject tool calls + reasoning_effort on
/v1/chat/completions with a 400 error directing to /v1/responses.
This auto-detects api.openai.com in the base URL and switches to
codex_responses mode in three places:
- AIAgent.__init__: upgrades chat_completions → codex_responses
- _try_activate_fallback(): same routing for fallback model
- runtime_provider.py: _detect_api_mode_for_url() for both custom
provider and openrouter runtime resolution paths
Also extracts _is_direct_openai_url() helper to replace the inline
check in _max_tokens_param().

- from_env() now reads HONCHO_BASE_URL and enables Honcho when base_url
is set, even without an API key
- from_global_config() reads baseUrl from config root with
HONCHO_BASE_URL env var as fallback
- get_honcho_client() guard relaxed to allow base_url without api_key
for no-auth local instances
- Added HONCHO_BASE_URL to OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS registry
Result: Setting HONCHO_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8000 in ~/.hermes/.env
now correctly routes the Honcho client to a local instance.
Show complete session IDs in 'hermes sessions list' instead of
truncating to 20 characters. Widens title column from 20→30 chars
and adjusts header widths accordingly.
Fixes#2068. Based on PR #2085 by @Nebula037 with a correction
to preserve the no-titles layout (the original PR accidentally
replaced the Preview/Src header with a duplicate Title/Preview header).
MiniMax's default base URL was /v1 which caused runtime_provider to
default to chat_completions mode (OpenAI-style Authorization: Bearer
header). MiniMax rejects this with a 401 because they require the
Anthropic-style x-api-key header.
Changes:
- auth.py: Change default inference_base_url for minimax and minimax-cn
from /v1 to /anthropic
- runtime_provider.py: Auto-correct stale /v1 URLs from existing .env
files to /anthropic, and always default minimax/minimax-cn providers
to anthropic_messages mode
- Update tests to reflect new defaults, add tests for stale URL
auto-correction and explicit api_mode override
Based on PR #2100 by @devorun. Fixes#2094.

Two issues with /model preventing proper provider switching:
1. Bare provider names not detected: typing '/model nous' treated 'nous'
as a model name instead of triggering a provider switch. Fixed by adding
step 0 in detect_provider_for_model() that checks if the input matches
a known provider name/alias (excluding 'custom'/'openrouter' which need
explicit model names) and returns that provider's default model.
2. Custom endpoint details hidden: /model (no args) showed '[custom]' with
just a usage hint but no endpoint URL or model name. Now displays the
configured base_url for custom providers in both CLI and gateway.
Note: config base_url and OPENAI_BASE_URL are intentionally NOT cleared on
provider switch — dedicated provider paths (nous, anthropic, codex) have
their own credential resolution that ignores these, and clearing them would
destroy the user's custom endpoint config, preventing switching back.

* fix: detect context length for custom model endpoints via fuzzy matching + config override
Custom model endpoints (non-OpenRouter, non-known-provider) were silently
falling back to 2M tokens when the model name didn't exactly match what the
endpoint's /v1/models reported. This happened because:
1. Endpoint metadata lookup used exact match only — model name mismatches
(e.g. 'qwen3.5:9b' vs 'Qwen3.5-9B-Q4_K_M.gguf') caused a miss
2. Single-model servers (common for local inference) required exact name
match even though only one model was loaded
3. No user escape hatch to manually set context length
Changes:
- Add fuzzy matching for endpoint model metadata: single-model servers
use the only available model regardless of name; multi-model servers
try substring matching in both directions
- Add model.context_length config override (highest priority) so users
can explicitly set their model's context length in config.yaml
- Log an informative message when falling back to 2M probe, telling
users about the config override option
- Thread config_context_length through ContextCompressor and AIAgent init
Tests: 6 new tests covering fuzzy match, single-model fallback, config
override (including zero/None edge cases).
* fix: auto-detect local model name and context length for local servers
Cherry-picked from PR #2043 by sudoingX.
- Auto-detect model name from local server's /v1/models when only one
model is loaded (no manual model name config needed)
- Add n_ctx_train and n_ctx to context length detection keys for llama.cpp

The gateway approval system previously intercepted bare 'yes'/'no' text
from the user's next message to approve/deny dangerous commands. This was
fragile and dangerous — if the agent asked a clarify question and the user
said 'yes' to answer it, the gateway would execute the pending dangerous
command instead. (Fixes#1888)
Changes:
- Remove bare text matching ('yes', 'y', 'approve', 'ok', etc.) from
_handle_message approval check
- Add /approve and /deny as gateway-only slash commands in the command
registry
- /approve supports scoping: /approve (one-time), /approve session,
/approve always (permanent)
- Add 5-minute timeout for stale approvals
- Gateway appends structured instructions to the agent response when a
dangerous command is pending, telling the user exactly how to respond
- 9 tests covering approve, deny, timeout, scoping, and verification
that bare 'yes' no longer triggers execution

After #1675 removed ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL env var support, the Anthropic

Three bugs prevented providers like MiniMax from using their
Anthropic-compatible endpoints (e.g. api.minimax.io/anthropic):
1. _VALID_API_MODES was missing 'anthropic_messages', so explicit
api_mode config was silently rejected and defaulted to
chat_completions.
2. API-key provider resolution hardcoded api_mode to 'chat_completions'
without checking model config or detecting Anthropic-compatible URLs.
3. run_agent.py auto-detection only recognized api.anthropic.com, not
third-party endpoints using the /anthropic URL convention.
Fixes:
- Add 'anthropic_messages' to _VALID_API_MODES
- API-key providers now check model config api_mode and auto-detect
URLs ending in /anthropic
- run_agent.py and fallback logic detect /anthropic URL convention
- 5 new tests covering all scenarios
Users can now either:
- Set MINIMAX_BASE_URL=https://api.minimax.io/anthropic (auto-detected)
- Set api_mode: anthropic_messages in model config (explicit)
- Use custom_providers with api_mode: anthropic_messages
Co-authored-by: Test <test@test.com>
When provider: custom is set in config.yaml with base_url and api_key,
those values are now used instead of falling back to OPENAI_BASE_URL and
OPENAI_API_KEY env vars. Also reads the 'api' field as an alternative to
'api_key' for config compatibility.

The previous copilot_model_api_mode() checked the catalog's
supported_endpoints first and picked /chat/completions when a model
supported both endpoints. This is wrong — GPT-5+ models should use
the Responses API even when the catalog lists both.
Replicate opencode's shouldUseCopilotResponsesApi() logic:
- GPT-5+ models (gpt-5.4, gpt-5.3-codex, etc.) → Responses API
- gpt-5-mini → Chat Completions (explicit exception)
- Everything else (gpt-4o, claude, gemini, etc.) → Chat Completions
- Model ID pattern is the primary signal, catalog is secondary
The catalog fallback now only matters for non-GPT-5 models that might
exclusively support /v1/messages (e.g. Claude via Copilot).
Models are auto-detected from the live catalog at
api.githubcopilot.com/models — no hardcoded list required for
supported models, only a static fallback for when the API is
unreachable.
Adds /statusbar (alias /sb) to show/hide the bottom status bar that
displays model name, context usage, and session duration.
Uses ConditionalContainer so the bar takes zero space when hidden
rather than leaving a blank line.
- Add anthropic/claude-haiku-4.5
- Move gpt-5.4-pro and gpt-5.4-nano to bottom
- Fix minimax/minimax-m2.7 → minimax-m2.5 (m2.7 not on OpenRouter)
- Tag hunter-alpha and healer-alpha as free
- Place hunter/healer-alpha right below gpt-5.4-mini
Builds on PR #1879's Copilot integration with critical auth improvements
modeled after opencode's implementation:
- Add hermes_cli/copilot_auth.py with:
- OAuth device code flow (copilot_device_code_login) using the same
client_id (Ov23li8tweQw6odWQebz) as opencode and Copilot CLI
- Token type validation: reject classic PATs (ghp_*) with a clear
error message explaining supported token types
- Proper env var priority: COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN > GH_TOKEN > GITHUB_TOKEN
(matching Copilot CLI documentation)
- copilot_request_headers() with Openai-Intent, x-initiator, and
Copilot-Vision-Request headers (matching opencode)
- Update auth.py:
- PROVIDER_REGISTRY copilot entry uses correct env var order
- _resolve_api_key_provider_secret delegates to copilot_auth for
the copilot provider with proper token validation
- Update models.py:
- copilot_default_headers() now includes Openai-Intent and x-initiator
- Update main.py:
- _model_flow_copilot offers OAuth device code login when no token
is found, with manual token entry as fallback
- Shows supported vs unsupported token types
- 22 new tests covering token validation, env var priority, header
generation, and integration with existing auth infrastructure
- Strip '_tools' suffix from internal toolset identifiers in the banner
(e.g. 'web_tools' -> 'web', 'homeassistant_tools' -> 'homeassistant')
- Stop appending '_tools' to unavailable toolset names
- Replace 6 hardcoded hex colors (#B8860B, #FFBF00, #FFF8DC) in toolset
rows, overflow line, and MCP server rows with the skin variables
(dim, accent, text) already resolved at the top of the function
Inspired by PR #1871 by @kshitijk4poor.
Adds 4 tests.
* fix: banner skill count now respects disabled skills and platform filtering
The banner's get_available_skills() was doing a raw rglob scan of
~/.hermes/skills/ without checking:
- Whether skills are disabled (skills.disabled config)
- Whether skills match the current platform (platforms: frontmatter)
This caused the banner to show inflated skill counts (e.g. '100 skills'
when many are disabled) and list macOS-only skills on Linux.
Fix: delegate to _find_all_skills() from tools/skills_tool which already
handles both platform gating and disabled-skill filtering.
* fix: system prompt and slash commands now respect disabled skills
Two more places where disabled skills were still surfaced:
1. build_skills_system_prompt() in prompt_builder.py — disabled skills
appeared in the <available_skills> system prompt section, causing
the agent to suggest/load them despite being disabled.
2. scan_skill_commands() in skill_commands.py — disabled skills still
registered as /skill-name slash commands in CLI help and could be
invoked.
Both now load _get_disabled_skill_names() and filter accordingly.
* fix: skill_view blocks disabled skills
skill_view() checked platform compatibility but not disabled state,
so the agent could still load and read disabled skills directly.
Now returns a clear error when a disabled skill is requested, telling
the user to enable it via hermes skills or inspect the files manually.

Recognize hermes_cli/main.py gateway command lines in gateway
process detection and PID validation so --replace reliably finds
existing gateway instances.
Adds a regression test covering script-style cmdline detection.
Closes#1830
Add _wait_for_gateway_exit() that polls get_running_pid() to confirm
the old gateway process has actually exited before starting a new one.
If the process doesn't exit within 5s, sends SIGKILL to the specific
PID. Uses the saved PID from gateway.pid (not launchd labels) so it
works correctly with multiple gateway instances under separate
HERMES_HOME directories.
Applied to both launchd_restart() and the manual restart path (replaces
the blind time.sleep(2)).
Inspired by PR #1881 by @AzothZephyr (race condition diagnosis).
Adds 4 tests.
MiniMax: Add M2.7 and M2.7-highspeed as new defaults across provider

The /browser command handler existed in cli.py but was never added to
COMMAND_REGISTRY after the centralized command registry refactor. This
meant:

Added CommandDef with connect/disconnect/status subcommands and
switched dispatch to use canonical instead of _base_word.
* feat: OpenAI-compatible API server platform adapter
Salvaged from PR #956, updated for current main.
Adds an HTTP API server as a gateway platform adapter that exposes
hermes-agent via the OpenAI Chat Completions and Responses APIs.
Any OpenAI-compatible frontend (Open WebUI, LobeChat, LibreChat,
AnythingLLM, NextChat, ChatBox, etc.) can connect by pointing at
http://localhost:8642/v1.
Endpoints:
- POST /v1/chat/completions — stateless Chat Completions API
- POST /v1/responses — stateful Responses API with chaining
- GET /v1/responses/{id} — retrieve stored response
- DELETE /v1/responses/{id} — delete stored response
- GET /v1/models — list hermes-agent as available model
- GET /health — health check
Features:
- Real SSE streaming via stream_delta_callback (uses main's streaming)
- In-memory LRU response store for Responses API conversation chaining
- Named conversations via 'conversation' parameter
- Bearer token auth (optional, via API_SERVER_KEY)
- CORS support for browser-based frontends
- System prompt layering (frontend system messages on top of core)
- Real token usage tracking in responses
Integration points:
- Platform.API_SERVER in gateway/config.py
- _create_adapter() branch in gateway/run.py
- API_SERVER_* env vars in hermes_cli/config.py
- Env var overrides in gateway/config.py _apply_env_overrides()
Changes vs original PR #956:
- Removed streaming infrastructure (already on main via stream_consumer.py)
- Removed Telegram reply_to_mode (separate feature, not included)
- Updated _resolve_model() -> _resolve_gateway_model()
- Updated stream_callback -> stream_delta_callback
- Updated connect()/disconnect() to use _mark_connected()/_mark_disconnected()
- Adapted to current Platform enum (includes MATTERMOST, MATRIX, DINGTALK)
Tests: 72 new tests, all passing
Docs: API server guide, Open WebUI integration guide, env var reference
* feat(whatsapp): make reply prefix configurable via config.yaml
Reworked from PR #1764 (ifrederico) to use config.yaml instead of .env.
The WhatsApp bridge prepends a header to every outgoing message.
This was hardcoded to '⚕ *Hermes Agent*'. Users can now customize
or disable it via config.yaml:
whatsapp:
reply_prefix: '' # disable header
reply_prefix: '🤖 *My Bot*\n───\n' # custom prefix
How it works:
- load_gateway_config() reads whatsapp.reply_prefix from config.yaml
and stores it in PlatformConfig.extra['reply_prefix']
- WhatsAppAdapter reads it from config.extra at init
- When spawning bridge.js, the adapter passes it as
WHATSAPP_REPLY_PREFIX in the subprocess environment
- bridge.js handles undefined (default), empty (no header),
or custom values with \\n escape support
- Self-chat echo suppression uses the configured prefix
Also fixes _config_version: was 9 but ENV_VARS_BY_VERSION had a
key 10 (TAVILY_API_KEY), so existing users at v9 would never be
prompted for Tavily. Bumped to 10 to close the gap. Added a
regression test to prevent this from happening again.

and the config version gap discovery.

Based on PR #1702 by @uzaylisak
Four small fixes:
1. model_tools.py: Tool import failures logged at WARNING instead of
DEBUG. If a tool module fails to import (syntax error, missing dep),
the user now sees a warning instead of the tool silently vanishing.
2. hermes_cli/config.py: Remove duplicate 'import sys' (lines 19, 21).
3. agent/model_metadata.py: Remove 6 duplicate entries in
DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS dict. Python keeps the last value, so no
functional change, but removes maintenance confusion.
4. hermes_state.py: Add missing self._lock to the LIKE query in
resolve_session_id(). The exact-match path used get_session()
(which locks internally), but the prefix fallback queried _conn
without the lock.
Salvage of PR #1707 by @kshitijk4poor (cherry-picked with authorship preserved).
Adds Tavily as a third web backend alongside Firecrawl and Parallel, using the Tavily REST API via httpx.
- Backend selection via hermes tools → saved as web.backend in config.yaml
- All three tools supported: search, extract, crawl
- TAVILY_API_KEY in config registry, doctor, status, setup wizard
- 15 new Tavily tests + 9 backend selection tests + 5 config tests
- Backward compatible
Closes#1707
* feat(web): add Parallel as alternative web search/extract backend
Adds Parallel (parallel.ai) as a drop-in alternative to Firecrawl for
web_search and web_extract tools using the official parallel-web SDK.
- Backend selection via WEB_SEARCH_BACKEND env var (auto/parallel/firecrawl)
- Auto mode prefers Firecrawl when both keys present; Parallel when sole backend
- web_crawl remains Firecrawl-only with clear error when unavailable
- Lazy SDK imports, interrupt support, singleton clients

* fix: add PARALLEL_API_KEY to config registry and fix web_crawl policy tests
Follow-up for Parallel backend integration:
- Add PARALLEL_API_KEY to OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS (hermes doctor, env blocklist)
- Add to set_config_value api_keys list (hermes config set)
- Add to doctor keys display
- Fix 2 web_crawl policy tests that didn't set FIRECRAWL_API_KEY
(needed now that web_crawl has a Firecrawl availability guard)
* refactor: explicit backend selection via hermes tools, not auto-detect
Replace the auto-detect backend selection with explicit user choice:
- hermes tools saves WEB_SEARCH_BACKEND to .env when user picks a provider
- _get_backend() reads the explicit choice first
- Fallback only for manual/legacy config (uses whichever key is present)
- _is_provider_active() shows [active] for the selected web backend
- Updated tests, docs, and .env.example to remove 'auto' mode language
* refactor: use config.yaml for web backend, not env var
Match the TTS/browser pattern — web.backend is stored in config.yaml
(set by hermes tools), not as a WEB_SEARCH_BACKEND env var.
- _load_web_config() reads web: section from config.yaml
- _get_backend() reads web.backend from config, falls back to key detection
- _configure_provider() saves to config dict (saved to config.yaml)
- _is_provider_active() reads from config dict
- Removed WEB_SEARCH_BACKEND from .env.example, set_config_value, docs
- Updated all tests to mock _load_web_config instead of env vars

The function uses subprocess.run() and subprocess.CalledProcessError but
never imported the module. This caused a NameError crash during setup
when users selected NeuTTS as their TTS provider.
Fixes#1698
Add the ability to selectively enable/disable individual MCP server
tools through the interactive 'hermes tools' TUI.
Changes:
- tools/mcp_tool.py: Add probe_mcp_server_tools() — lightweight function
that temporarily connects to configured MCP servers, discovers their
tools (names + descriptions), and disconnects. No registry side effects.
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: Add 'Configure MCP tools' option to the
interactive menu. When selected:
1. Probes all enabled MCP servers for their available tools
2. Shows a per-server curses checklist with tool descriptions
3. Pre-selects tools based on existing include/exclude config
4. Writes changes back as tools.exclude entries in config.yaml
5. Reports which servers failed to connect
The existing CLI commands (hermes tools enable/disable server:tool)
continue to work unchanged. This adds the interactive TUI counterpart
so users can browse and toggle MCP tools visually.
Tests: 22 new tests covering probe function edge cases and interactive
flow (pre-selection, exclude/include modes, description truncation,
multi-server handling, error paths).
fetch_nous_models() uses keyword-only parameters (the * separator in
its signature), but models.py called it with positional args and in
the wrong order (api_key first, base_url second). This always raised
TypeError, silently caught by except Exception: pass.
Result: Nous provider model list was completely broken — /model
autocomplete and provider_model_ids('nous') always fell back to the
static model catalog instead of fetching live models.
Adds both platforms to the config system so hermes setup, hermes doctor,
and hermes config properly discover and manage their env vars.
- MATTERMOST_URL, MATTERMOST_TOKEN, MATTERMOST_ALLOWED_USERS
- MATRIX_HOMESERVER, MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN, MATRIX_USER_ID, MATRIX_ALLOWED_USERS
- Extra env keys for .env sanitizer: MATTERMOST_HOME_CHANNEL,
MATTERMOST_REPLY_MODE, MATRIX_PASSWORD, MATRIX_ENCRYPTION, MATRIX_HOME_ROOM
Add support for Mattermost (self-hosted Slack alternative) and Matrix
(federated messaging protocol) as messaging platforms.
Mattermost adapter:
- REST API v4 client for posts, files, channels, typing indicators
- WebSocket listener for real-time 'posted' events with reconnect backoff
- Thread support via root_id
- File upload/download with auth-aware caching
- Dedup cache (5min TTL, 2000 entries)
- Full self-hosted instance support
Matrix adapter:
- matrix-nio AsyncClient with sync loop
- Dual auth: access token or user_id + password
- Optional E2EE via matrix-nio[e2e] (libolm)
- Thread support via m.thread (MSC3440)
- Reply support via m.in_reply_to with fallback stripping
- Media upload/download via mxc:// URLs (authenticated v1.11+ endpoint)
- Auto-join on room invite
- DM detection via m.direct account data with sync fallback
- Markdown to HTML conversion
Fixes applied over original PR #1225 by @cyb0rgk1tty:
- Mattermost: add timeout to file downloads, wrap API helpers in
try/except for network errors, download incoming files immediately
with auth headers instead of passing auth-required URLs
- Matrix: use authenticated media endpoint (/_matrix/client/v1/media/),
robust m.direct cache with sync fallback, prefer aiohttp over httpx
Install Matrix support: pip install 'hermes-agent[matrix]'
Mattermost needs no extra deps (uses aiohttp).

* feat(gateway): add DingTalk platform adapter
Add DingTalk as a messaging platform using the dingtalk-stream SDK
for real-time message reception via Stream Mode (no webhook needed).
Replies are sent via session webhook using markdown format.
Features:
- Stream Mode connection (long-lived WebSocket, no public URL needed)
- Text and rich text message support
- DM and group chat support
- Message deduplication with 5-minute window
- Auto-reconnection with exponential backoff
- Session webhook caching for reply routing
Configuration:
export DINGTALK_CLIENT_ID=your-app-key
export DINGTALK_CLIENT_SECRET=your-app-secret
# or in config.yaml:
platforms:
dingtalk:
enabled: true
extra:
client_id: your-app-key
client_secret: your-app-secret

* docs: add Alibaba Cloud and DingTalk to setup wizard and docs
Wire Alibaba Cloud (DashScope) into hermes setup and hermes model
provider selection flows. Add DingTalk env vars to documentation.
Changes:
- setup.py: Add Alibaba Cloud as provider choice (index 11) with
DASHSCOPE_API_KEY prompt and model studio link
- main.py: Add alibaba to provider_labels, providers list, and
model flow dispatch
- environment-variables.md: Add DASHSCOPE_API_KEY, DINGTALK_CLIENT_ID,
DINGTALK_CLIENT_SECRET, and alibaba to HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER
- Default enabled: false (zero overhead when not configured)
- Fast path: cached disabled state skips all work immediately
- TTL cache (30s) for parsed policy — avoids re-reading config.yaml
on every URL check
- Missing shared files warn + skip instead of crashing all web tools
- Lazy yaml import — missing PyYAML doesn't break browser toolset
- Guarded browser_tool import — fail-open lambda fallback
- check_website_access never raises for default path (fail-open with
warning log); only raises with explicit config_path (test mode)
- Simplified enforcement code in web_tools/browser_tool — no more
try/except wrappers since errors are handled internally

ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL collides with Claude Code and other Anthropic
tooling. Remove it from the Anthropic provider — base URL overrides
should go through config.yaml model.base_url instead.
The Alibaba/DashScope provider has its own dedicated base URL and
API key env vars which don't collide with anything.
Add display.theme_mode setting (auto/light/dark) that makes the CLI
readable on light terminal backgrounds.
- Auto-detect terminal background via COLORFGBG, OSC 11, and macOS
appearance (fallback chain in hermes_cli/colors.py)
- Add colors_light overrides to all 7 built-in skins with dark/readable
colors for light backgrounds
- SkinConfig.get_color() now returns light overrides when theme is light
- get_prompt_toolkit_style_overrides() uses light bg colors for
completion menus in light mode
- init_skin_from_config() reads display.theme_mode from config
- 7 new tests covering theme mode resolution, detection fallbacks,
and light-mode skin overrides

Add Alibaba Cloud (DashScope) as a first-class inference provider
using the Anthropic-compatible endpoint. This gives access to Qwen
models (qwen3.5-plus, qwen3-max, qwen3-coder-plus, etc.) through
the same api_mode as native Anthropic.
Also add ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL env var support so users can point the
Anthropic provider at any compatible endpoint.
Changes:
- auth.py: Add alibaba ProviderConfig + ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL on anthropic
- models.py: Add alibaba to catalog, labels, aliases (dashscope/aliyun/qwen), provider order
- runtime_provider.py: Add alibaba resolution (anthropic_messages api_mode) + ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL
- model_metadata.py: Add Qwen model context lengths (128K)
- config.py: Add DASHSCOPE_API_KEY, DASHSCOPE_BASE_URL, ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL env vars
Usage:
hermes --provider alibaba --model qwen3.5-plus
# or via aliases:
hermes --provider qwen --model qwen3-max
Add Kilo Gateway (kilo.ai) as an API-key provider with OpenAI-compatible
endpoint at https://api.kilo.ai/api/gateway. Supports 500+ models from
Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, Mistral, MiniMax via a single API key.
- Register kilocode in PROVIDER_REGISTRY with aliases (kilo, kilo-code,
kilo-gateway) and KILOCODE_API_KEY / KILOCODE_BASE_URL env vars
- Add to model catalog, CLI provider menu, setup wizard, doctor checks
- Add google/gemini-3-flash-preview as default aux model
- 12 new tests covering registration, aliases, credential resolution,
runtime config
- Documentation updates (env vars, config, fallback providers)
- Fix setup test index shift from provider insertion

Docker terminal sessions are secret-dark by default. This adds
terminal.docker_forward_env as an explicit allowlist for env vars
that may be forwarded into Docker containers.
Values resolve from the current shell first, then fall back to
~/.hermes/.env. Only variables the user explicitly lists are
forwarded — nothing is auto-exposed.

Remove the optional skill (redundant now that NeuTTS is a built-in TTS
provider). Replace neutts_cli dependency with a standalone synthesis
helper (tools/neutts_synth.py) that calls the neutts Python API directly
in a subprocess.
Add TTS provider selection to hermes setup:
- 'hermes setup' now prompts for TTS provider after model selection
- 'hermes setup tts' available as standalone section
- Selecting NeuTTS checks for deps and offers to install:
espeak-ng (system) + neutts[all] (pip)
- ElevenLabs/OpenAI selections prompt for API keys
- Tool status display shows NeuTTS install state
Changes:
- Remove optional-skills/mlops/models/neutts/ (skill + CLI scaffold)
- Add tools/neutts_synth.py (standalone synthesis subprocess helper)
- Move jo.wav/jo.txt to tools/neutts_samples/ (bundled default voice)
- Refactor _generate_neutts() — uses neutts API via subprocess, no
neutts_cli dependency, config-driven ref_audio/ref_text/model/device
- Add TTS setup to hermes_cli/setup.py (SETUP_SECTIONS, tool status)
- Update config.py defaults (ref_audio, ref_text, model, device)
* fix: prevent infinite 400 failure loop on context overflow (#1630)
When a gateway session exceeds the model's context window, Anthropic may
return a generic 400 invalid_request_error with just 'Error' as the
message. This bypassed the phrase-based context-length detection,
causing the agent to treat it as a non-retryable client error. Worse,
the failed user message was still persisted to the transcript, making
the session even larger on each attempt — creating an infinite loop.
Three-layer fix:
1. run_agent.py — Fallback heuristic: when a 400 error has a very short
generic message AND the session is large (>40% of context or >80
messages), treat it as a probable context overflow and trigger
compression instead of aborting.
2. run_agent.py + gateway/run.py — Don't persist failed messages:
when the agent returns failed=True before generating any response,
skip writing the user's message to the transcript/DB. This prevents
the session from growing on each failure.
3. gateway/run.py — Smarter error messages: detect context-overflow
failures and suggest /compact or /reset specifically, instead of a
generic 'try again' that will fail identically.
* fix(skills): detect prompt injection patterns and block cache file reads
Adds two security layers to prevent prompt injection via skills hub
cache files (#1558):
1. read_file: blocks direct reads of ~/.hermes/skills/.hub/ directory
(index-cache, catalog files). The 3.5MB clawhub_catalog_v1.json
was the original injection vector — untrusted skill descriptions
in the catalog contained adversarial text that the model executed.
2. skill_view: warns when skills are loaded from outside the trusted
~/.hermes/skills/ directory, and detects common injection patterns
in skill content ("ignore previous instructions", "<system>", etc.).
Cherry-picked from PR #1562 by ygd58.
* fix(tools): chunk long messages in send_message_tool before dispatch (#1552)
Long messages sent via send_message tool or cron delivery silently
failed when exceeding platform limits. Gateway adapters handle this
via truncate_message(), but the standalone senders in send_message_tool
bypassed that entirely.
- Apply truncate_message() chunking in _send_to_platform() before
dispatching to individual platform senders
- Remove naive message[i:i+2000] character split in _send_discord()
in favor of centralized smart splitting
- Attach media files to last chunk only for Telegram
- Add regression tests for chunking and media placement
Cherry-picked from PR #1557 by llbn.
* fix(approval): show full command in dangerous command approval (#1553)
Previously the command was truncated to 80 chars in CLI (with a
[v]iew full option), 500 chars in Discord embeds, and missing entirely
in Telegram/Slack approval messages. Now the full command is always
displayed everywhere:
- CLI: removed 80-char truncation and [v]iew full menu option
- Gateway (TG/Slack): approval_required message includes full command
in a code block
- Discord: embed shows full command up to 4096-char limit
- Windows: skip SIGALRM-based test timeout (Unix-only)
- Updated tests: replaced view-flow tests with direct approval tests
Cherry-picked from PR #1566 by crazywriter1.
* fix(cli): flush stdout during agent loop to prevent macOS display freeze (#1624)
The interrupt polling loop in chat() waited on the queue without
invalidating the prompt_toolkit renderer. On macOS, the StdoutProxy
buffer only flushed on input events, causing the CLI to appear frozen
during tool execution until the user typed a key.
Fix: call _invalidate() on each queue timeout (every ~100ms, throttled
to 150ms) to force the renderer to flush buffered agent output.
* fix(claw): warn when API keys are skipped during OpenClaw migration (#1580)
When --migrate-secrets is not passed (the default), API keys like
OPENROUTER_API_KEY are silently skipped with no warning. Users don't
realize their keys weren't migrated until the agent fails to connect.
Add a post-migration warning with actionable instructions: either
re-run with --migrate-secrets or add the key manually via
hermes config set.

* fix(security): block sandbox backend creds from subprocess env (#1264)
Add Modal and Daytona sandbox credentials to the subprocess env
blocklist so they're not leaked to agent terminal sessions via
printenv/env.
Cherry-picked from PR #1571 by ygd58.
* fix(gateway): cap interrupt recursion depth to prevent resource exhaustion (#816)
When a user sends multiple messages while the agent keeps failing,
_run_agent() calls itself recursively with no depth limit. This can
exhaust stack/memory if the agent is in a failure loop.
Add _MAX_INTERRUPT_DEPTH = 3. When exceeded, the pending message is
logged and the current result is returned instead of recursing deeper.
The log handler duplication bug described in #816 was already fixed
separately (AIAgent.__init__ deduplicates handlers).
* fix(gateway): /model shows active fallback model instead of config default (#1615)
When the agent falls back to a different model (e.g. due to rate
limiting), /model still showed the config default. Now tracks the
effective model/provider after each agent run and displays it.
Cleared when the primary model succeeds again or the user explicitly
switches via /model.
Cherry-picked from PR #1616 by MaxKerkula. Added hasattr guard for
test compatibility.
* feat(gateway): inject reply-to message context for out-of-session replies (#1594)
When a user replies to a Telegram message, check if the quoted text
exists in the current session transcript. If missing (from cron jobs,
background tasks, or old sessions), prepend [Replying to: "..."] to
the message so the agent has context about what's being referenced.
- Add reply_to_text field to MessageEvent (base.py)
- Populate from Telegram's reply_to_message (text or caption)
- Inject context in _handle_message when not found in history
Based on PR #1596 by anpicasso (cherry-picked reply-to feature only,
excluded unrelated /server command and background delegation changes).
* fix: recognize Claude Code OAuth credentials in startup gate (#1455)

Claude Code OAuth credentials (~/.claude/.credentials.json). Users

* fix(security): harden terminal safety and sandbox file writes
Two security improvements:
1. Dangerous command detection: expand shell -c pattern to catch
combined flags (bash -lc, bash -ic, ksh -c) that were previously
undetected. Pattern changed from matching only 'bash -c' to
matching any shell invocation with -c anywhere in the flags.
2. File write sandboxing: add HERMES_WRITE_SAFE_ROOT env var that
constrains all write_file/patch operations to a configured directory
tree. Opt-in — when unset, behavior is unchanged. Useful for
gateway/messaging deployments that should only touch a workspace.

- tests/tools/test_skills_hub.py — regression tests for binary assets
* feat(tts): add NeuTTS as local TTS provider backend
Add NeuTTS as a fourth TTS provider option alongside Edge, ElevenLabs,
and OpenAI. NeuTTS runs fully on-device via neutts_cli — no API key
needed.
Provider behavior:
- Explicit: set tts.provider to 'neutts' in config.yaml
- Fallback: when Edge TTS is unavailable and neutts_cli is installed,
automatically falls back to NeuTTS instead of failing
- check_tts_requirements() now includes NeuTTS in availability checks
NeuTTS outputs WAV natively. For Telegram voice bubbles, ffmpeg
converts to Opus (same pattern as Edge TTS).
Changes:

provider dispatch, fallback logic, Opus conversion

Add in-session tool management via /tools disable/enable/list, plus
hermes tools list/disable/enable CLI subcommands. Supports both
built-in toolsets (web, memory) and MCP tools (github:create_issue).
To preserve prompt caching, /tools disable/enable in a chat session
saves the change to config and resets the session cleanly — the user
is asked to confirm before the reset happens.
Also improves prefix matching: /qui now dispatches to /quit instead
of showing ambiguous when longer skill commands like /quint-pipeline
are installed.

- Add skip_confirm parameter to do_install() and do_uninstall()
- Separate --yes/-y (confirmation bypass) from --force (scan override)
in both argparse and slash command handlers
- Update usage hint for /skills uninstall to show [--yes]
The original PR (#1595) accidentally deleted the install_from_quarantine()
call, which would have broken all installs. That bug is not present here.

Add 'custom' to the provider order so custom OpenAI-compatible
endpoints appear in /model list. Probes the endpoint's /models API
to dynamically discover available models.
Changes:
- Add 'custom' to _PROVIDER_ORDER in list_available_providers()
- Add _get_custom_base_url() helper to read model.base_url from config
- Add custom branch in provider_model_ids() using fetch_api_models()
- Custom endpoint detection via base_url presence for has_creds check

* feat(cli): two-stage /model autocomplete with ghost text suggestions
- SlashCommandCompleter: Tab-complete providers first (anthropic:, openrouter:, etc.)
then models within the selected provider
- SlashCommandAutoSuggest: inline ghost text for slash commands, subcommands,
and /model provider:model two-stage suggestions
- Custom Tab key binding: accepts provider completion and immediately
re-triggers completions to show that provider's models
- COMMANDS_BY_CATEGORY: structured format with explicit subcommands for
tab completion and ghost text (prompt, reasoning, voice, skills, cron, browser)
- SUBCOMMANDS dict auto-extracted from command definitions
- Model/provider info cached 60s for responsive completions
* fix: repair test regression and restore gold color from PR #1622
- Fix test_unknown_command_still_shows_error: patch _cprint instead of
console.print to match the _cprint switch in process_command()
- Restore gold color on 'Type /help' hint using _DIM + _GOLD constants
instead of bare \033[2m (was losing the #B8860B gold)
- Use _GOLD constant for ambiguous command message for consistency
- Add clarifying comment on SUBCOMMANDS regex fallback

- Bump _config_version 8 → 9
- Move stale ANTHROPIC_TOKEN clearing into 'if current_ver < 9' block
so it only runs once during the upgrade, not on every migrate_config()
- ANTHROPIC_TOKEN is still a valid auth path (OAuth flow), so we don't
want to clear it repeatedly — only during the one-time migration from
old setups that left it stale
- Add test_skips_on_version_9_or_later to verify one-time behavior
- All tests set config version 8 to trigger migration
- Remove *** placeholder detection from _sanitize_env_lines (was based on
confusing terminal redaction with literal file content)
- Add migrate_config() logic to clear stale ANTHROPIC_TOKEN when better
credentials exist (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or Claude Code auto-discovery)
- Old ANTHROPIC_TOKEN values shadow Claude Code credential fallthrough,
breaking auth for users who updated without re-running setup
- Preserves ANTHROPIC_TOKEN when it's the only auth method available
- 3 new migration tests, updated existing tests
Fixes two corruption patterns that break API keys during updates:
1. Concatenated KEY=VALUE pairs on a single line due to missing newlines
(e.g. ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-...OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://...). Uses a
known-keys set to safely detect and split concatenated entries without
false-splitting values that contain uppercase text.
2. Stale KEY=*** placeholder entries left by incomplete setup runs that
never get updated and shadow real credentials.
Changes:
- Add _sanitize_env_lines() that splits concatenated known keys and drops
*** placeholders
- Add sanitize_env_file() public API for explicit repair
- Call sanitization in save_env_value() on every read (self-healing)
- Call sanitize_env_file() at the start of migrate_config() so existing
corrupted files are repaired on update
- 12 new tests covering splits, placeholders, edge cases, and integration
