24fe60faa2 refactor(tools): drop hardcoded web picker rows + skiplist; plugins are sole source
Removes the seven hardcoded TOOL_CATEGORIES["web"] provider rows that
duplicated the plugin-registered providers, and deletes the
_WEB_PLUGIN_SKIPLIST that existed to prevent duplicate picker rows
during the migration. The Web Search & Extract category now derives its
provider rows entirely from agent.web_search_registry via
_plugin_web_search_providers(), matching how Spotify, Google Meet, and
the image_gen plugins are surfaced.

Removed (deduplicated against plugin schemas):
  - Firecrawl Cloud         → plugins.web.firecrawl
  - Exa                     → plugins.web.exa
  - Parallel                → plugins.web.parallel
  - Tavily                  → plugins.web.tavily
  - SearXNG                 → plugins.web.searxng
  - Brave Search (Free Tier) → plugins.web.brave_free
  - DuckDuckGo (ddgs)       → plugins.web.ddgs (post_setup hook preserved)

Retained in TOOL_CATEGORIES["web"]:
  - Nous Subscription   — requires requires_nous_auth +
                          managed_nous_feature + override_env_vars
                          to drive the managed-gateway UX. Not a
                          provider — a different *setup flow* for the
                          firecrawl backend.
  - Firecrawl Self-Hosted — points firecrawl at a private Docker URL
                            via FIRECRAWL_API_URL only. Same reason:
                            UX setup-flow row, not a provider.

These two rows describe alternative auth/billing paths for the
firecrawl backend; they intentionally share web_backend="firecrawl"
with the plugin row but light up different env-var prompts.

Plugin schema extensions
------------------------
- ddgs plugin's get_setup_schema() now emits `post_setup: "ddgs"` so
  selection still triggers the pip-install hook in _run_post_setup().
- _plugin_web_search_providers() passes `post_setup` through verbatim
  when present in the schema (other future plugins like camofox / a
  hypothetical playwright-web plugin can opt in the same way).
- Picker rows now carry both `web_backend` (legacy field consumed by
  setup + selection helpers) and `web_search_plugin_name`
  (informational marker), so behavior is identical between hardcoded
  and plugin-registered rows.

Net diff
--------
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: -141/+50 lines (~91 lines net)
- plugins/web/ddgs/provider.py: +7/-4 (post_setup field + badge polish)

Verified
--------
- Compile-clean for both files
- Picker shows: 2 hardcoded rows (Nous Subscription, Firecrawl
  Self-Hosted) + 7 plugin rows (alphabetically: Brave Search,
  DuckDuckGo, Exa, Firecrawl, Parallel, SearXNG, Tavily). DuckDuckGo
  row carries post_setup="ddgs" for first-time install.
- 173 web-specific tests still pass.

143184e943 feat(web): firecrawl plugin — largest migration (search + async extract + dual auth)
Migrates Firecrawl from inline code in tools/web_tools.py to a bundled
plugin at plugins/web/firecrawl/. By line count this is the largest of
the seven provider migrations: the firecrawl path captured most of the
file's vendor-specific complexity.

What moved into the plugin (all previously in tools/web_tools.py):

  Lazy Firecrawl SDK proxy
    - _load_firecrawl_cls() — caches the imported SDK class
    - _FirecrawlProxy + Firecrawl singleton — defers ~200ms of SDK
      imports until first construction or isinstance check.

  Client construction (dual auth)
    - _get_direct_firecrawl_config()  — direct FIRECRAWL_API_KEY/URL path
    - _get_firecrawl_gateway_url()    — managed Nous tool-gateway URL
    - _is_tool_gateway_ready()        — gateway URL + Nous token check
    - _has_direct_firecrawl_config()  — direct config present?
    - _get_firecrawl_client()         — combined client construction
                                        honoring web.use_gateway
    - check_firecrawl_api_key()       — top-level "is firecrawl usable"
    - _firecrawl_backend_help_suffix() — managed-gateway help string
    - _raise_web_backend_configuration_error() — typed misconfig error

  Response shape normalization (vendor-specific)
    - _to_plain_object(), _normalize_result_list() — SDK→dict helpers
    - _extract_web_search_results() — handles SDK/direct/gateway shapes
    - _extract_scrape_payload()     — nested-data unwrap for scrape

  Per-URL extract loop
    - 60s asyncio.wait_for timeout per URL
    - Pre-scrape website-policy gate
    - Post-scrape redirect-aware SSRF re-check
    - Format-aware content selection (markdown / html / auto)
    - Per-URL errors returned as {"error": str} entries, no raises

Extract is declared `async def` — each URL is scraped in
asyncio.to_thread(...). This is the second async-extract plugin after
parallel.

The plugin re-exports `Firecrawl` (the lazy proxy) and
`check_firecrawl_api_key()` so existing tests doing
`patch("tools.web_tools.Firecrawl")` or
`monkeypatch.setattr(web_tools, "check_firecrawl_api_key", ...)` keep
working — tools/web_tools.py re-exports both names in the next
dispatcher-cutover commit.

Note: web_crawl_tool still has its own Firecrawl crawl path inline
(separate from extract); the Firecrawl SDK supports /crawl but we don't
expose supports_crawl=True on this plugin yet. Tavily handles crawl
today. Adding Firecrawl crawl is a clean follow-up.

Adds "firecrawl" to _WEB_PLUGIN_SKIPLIST.

E2E verified:
  - All 7 providers register: brave-free, ddgs, exa, firecrawl,
    parallel, searxng, tavily
  - inspect.iscoroutinefunction(firecrawl.extract) -> True
  - Firecrawl proxy is a callable lazy proxy at module level
  - check_firecrawl_api_key reflects FIRECRAWL_API_KEY presence

31fcde876c feat(web): tavily plugin — first three-capability plugin (search + extract + crawl)
Migrates Tavily from inline _tavily_request() / _normalize_tavily_*
helpers in tools/web_tools.py to a bundled plugin at plugins/web/tavily/.

First plugin in the codebase to advertise supports_crawl=True. Tavily is
unique among built-in backends in offering a native /crawl endpoint that
walks linked pages from a seed URL with optional natural-language
instructions and depth ("basic" or "advanced").

Capabilities:
  - supports_search()  -> True (Tavily /search)
  - supports_extract() -> True (Tavily /extract)
  - supports_crawl()   -> True (Tavily /crawl)
  All sync (httpx.post under the hood).

The crawl method accepts forward-compat kwargs (instructions, depth,
limit) and is gated against unsafe URLs/policy by the dispatcher in
web_crawl_tool — exactly as before.

Behavior preserved:
  - TAVILY_API_KEY required (ValueError → typed error response)
  - TAVILY_BASE_URL env override honored
  - /crawl requires both body auth AND Bearer header — preserved
  - failed_results[] and failed_urls[] response keys mapped to per-URL
    items with error fields rather than raising
  - max_results capped at 20 server-side

Adds "tavily" to _WEB_PLUGIN_SKIPLIST.

The legacy inline _tavily_request / _normalize_tavily_search_results /
_normalize_tavily_documents / _TAVILY_BASE_URL in tools/web_tools.py are
NOT deleted yet — search/extract dispatch and the entire web_crawl_tool
function still reference them. They go away when those dispatchers are
cut over to the registry.

E2E verified:
  - Tavily registers with all 3 capabilities
  - Provider list now: brave-free, ddgs, exa, parallel, searxng, tavily

4816646109 feat(web): parallel plugin — first async-extract plugin
Migrates Parallel.ai from inline `_parallel_search()` / `_parallel_extract()`
in tools/web_tools.py to a bundled plugin at plugins/web/parallel/.

First plugin in the codebase to expose an async :meth:`extract`:

  - search() is sync — Parallel.beta.search
  - extract() is **async def** — AsyncParallel.beta.extract

The ABC's docstring on supports_extract() already permits sync-or-async;
this commit is the first to exercise the async path. The web_extract_tool
dispatcher (next commit) detects coroutines via
inspect.iscoroutinefunction and awaits accordingly.

Behavior preserved:
  - PARALLEL_API_KEY required (raises ValueError if missing → surfaced
    as {"success": False, "error": "..."} instead)
  - PARALLEL_SEARCH_MODE env var honored (agentic|fast|one-shot, default
    agentic), validated via _resolve_search_mode()
  - Limit capped at 20 server-side via min(limit, 20)
  - Per-URL failure mode preserved: response.errors[] each become a
    result dict with an "error" field rather than raising
  - Module-level _parallel_client / _async_parallel_client caches kept
    (mirrors legacy singleton pattern)

Adds "parallel" to _WEB_PLUGIN_SKIPLIST in hermes_cli/tools_config.py so
the picker doesn't double-list.

The legacy inline _parallel_search, _parallel_extract, _get_parallel_client,
_get_async_parallel_client in tools/web_tools.py are NOT deleted yet — the
dispatcher still calls them. They go away when the dispatcher cuts over.

E2E verified:
  - inspect.iscoroutinefunction(p.search) -> False
  - inspect.iscoroutinefunction(p.extract) -> True
  - extract() returns a coroutine (not a list)
  - 5 providers register correctly (brave-free, ddgs, exa, parallel, searxng)

ec8449e9c6 feat(web): exa plugin — first multi-capability migration (search + extract)
Migrates Exa from the inline `_exa_search()` / `_exa_extract()` helpers in
tools/web_tools.py to a bundled plugin at plugins/web/exa/.

This is the first plugin in this PR to advertise supports_extract=True,
exercising the multi-capability ABC path that the initial three migrations
(brave_free, ddgs, searxng — all search-only) did not cover.

Both Exa methods are sync — the SDK is sync-only. The web_extract_tool
dispatcher in tools/web_tools.py will continue to call them inline until
Task "dispatch-extract-all" cuts it over to the registry.

Behaviour preserved bit-for-bit aside from the ABC method-name change:
  - is_configured()  -> is_available()
  - provider_name()  -> name (property)
  - "exa" stays as the registered name
  - Module-level `_exa_client` cache + lazy `from exa_py import Exa`
    preserved at the new location.
  - Errors (ValueError for missing API key, ImportError for missing SDK,
    generic Exception) caught and surfaced as {"success": False, "error": ...}
    instead of raising.

Adds "exa" to _WEB_PLUGIN_SKIPLIST in hermes_cli/tools_config.py so the
hardcoded TOOL_CATEGORIES["web"] row and the plugin-injected row don't
duplicate during the spike. The skip-list goes away in the cleanup phase
along with the hardcoded row.

The legacy inline `_exa_search` / `_exa_extract` / `_get_exa_client` /
`_exa_client` in tools/web_tools.py are NOT deleted yet — the dispatcher
still references them. They go away in the next dispatcher-cutover commit.

E2E verified:
  - Plugin discovers + registers
  - .supports_search/.supports_extract/.supports_crawl = (True, True, False)
  - .get_setup_schema() returns the picker row shape
  - resolve(): explicit exa + EXA_API_KEY -> exa; without key -> exa (registered
    but unavailable, dispatcher surfaces "EXA_API_KEY not set" error)

714630110b feat(tools): mirror image_gen plugin-injection in Web Search picker
Adds _plugin_web_search_providers() and wires it into _visible_providers()
for the "Web Search & Extract" category. Mirrors the existing image_gen
pattern at the same site exactly.

Spike scope: while the three migrated providers (brave-free, ddgs, searxng)
still have hardcoded TOOL_CATEGORIES rows, _WEB_PLUGIN_SKIPLIST excludes
them so the picker doesn't show duplicates. The migration PR drops the
hardcoded rows and the skip-list both — then this helper is the only
source of web-provider picker rows.

E2E verified: helper returns [] today (skip-list covers all 3 migrated
providers); injection point is sound and ready for the post-migration state.

efc32ab639 refactor(inventory): extract shared ConfigContext + build_models_payload
Three call-sites in the codebase each duplicated the same config-slice
+ list_authenticated_providers + post-processing pattern:

- hermes_cli/web_server.py /api/model/options
- tui_gateway/server.py model.options JSON-RPC
- tui_gateway/server.py model.save_key JSON-RPC

This consolidates them onto hermes_cli/inventory.py:

  load_picker_context() -> ConfigContext
      Replaces the 17-LOC config-slice (model.{default,name,provider,
      base_url}, providers:, custom_providers:) every consumer did
      inline.

  ConfigContext.with_overrides(*, current_provider=, current_model=,
                               current_base_url=) -> ConfigContext
      Truthy-only overlay for TUI agent-session state on top of disk
      config. Empty getattr(agent, ...) attrs MUST NOT clobber disk.

  build_models_payload(ctx, *, include_unconfigured, picker_hints,
                       canonical_order, max_models) -> dict
      Single payload builder. Delegates curation to
      list_authenticated_providers (does not call provider_model_ids
      per row \u2014 that pulls non-agentic models). picker_hints +
      canonical_order produce the TUI ModelPickerDialog shape;
      defaults match the dashboard's existing /api/model/options
      contract.

Two latent bugs fixed by consolidation:

1. The dashboard read cfg.get('custom_providers') directly, missing
   the v12+ keyed providers: form. Now both surfaces go through
   get_compatible_custom_providers().

2. The TUI's canonical-merge keyed on is_user_defined to decide order.
   Section 3 of list_authenticated_providers sets is_user_defined=True
   on rows from the providers: config dict even when the slug is
   canonical \u2014 that silently demoted them to the picker tail.
   _reorder_canonical now keys on slug membership instead.

Stats: +666 / -145 (net +521). Module 240 LOC; 18 behavior tests.

This PR replaces the rejected #23369 (which bundled the consolidation
with new scriptable CLI surfaces \u2014 hermes models list/status, hermes
providers list \u2014 and a JSON contract that have no external user
demand). Just the refactor; the CLI surface is deferred to a separate
PR gated on actual demand.

4ceab16893 fix(compression): keep default protect_first_n at 3 + align ABC
Follow-up on the salvaged feat commit:

- Keep the constructor / config / yaml-example default at 3 so existing
  gateway and CLI users see no behavioural change. PR #13754 (which this
  builds on) had lowered the default to 2 to chase pre-feature parity in
  the system-prompt-present case, at the cost of quietly halving the
  protected head for the gateway path (which strips the system prompt
  before calling compress()). With the new "system prompt is implicit"
  semantics, default 3 gives every caller a stable head shape.
- agent/context_engine.py: bring the ABC's protect_first_n docstring in
  line with the new semantics so plugin context engines interpret the
  config key the same way the built-in compressor does.
- tests: adjust the default-value test (3, not 2) and a stale comment;
  per-test protect_first_n=2/3/1 values added in PR #13754 stay as-is
  since those tests fix concrete head shapes.

dee71a31e5 feat(compression): make protect_first_n configurable
The number of head messages preserved verbatim across context compactions
was previously hardcoded to 3 in AIAgent.__init__. Expose it as
`compression.protect_first_n` in config, matching the existing
`protect_last_n` pattern.

Motivation: users who rely on rolling compaction for long-running sessions
had the opening user/assistant exchange pinned as head forever, which
doesn't always match how they want the session framed after many
compactions. Lowering to 1 preserves the system prompt + first non-system
message; lowering to 0 preserves only the system prompt and lets the
entire first exchange age out naturally through the summary.

Semantics: `protect_first_n` counts non-system head messages protected
**in addition to** the system prompt, which is always implicitly protected
when present. Same meaning across both code paths:

  protect_first_n=0 → system prompt only (or nothing if no system message)
  protect_first_n=2 → system prompt + first 2 non-system messages (default)

This unifies the CLI path (which reads messages with the system prompt at
position 0) and the gateway path (where the gateway /compress handler
strips the system prompt before calling compress() — see
gateway/run.py L9150-9154 on the parent fork). Previously these two paths
disagreed:

  CLI path:     protect_first_n=1 → protect system prompt only
  Gateway path: protect_first_n=1 → protect first USER turn forever

In practice on long-running gateway sessions the old semantics pinned
whatever stale aside happened to be the first user message, reinserting
it into every compaction summary indefinitely.

Default chosen as 2 (not 3) so that the effective protected head count
remains 3 messages in the common case — assuming a system prompt is
present, default protection becomes system + 2 non-system = 3 total,
matching the pre-feature behaviour where `protect_first_n` was hardcoded
to protect 3 messages total. Sessions without a system prompt will see a
small behaviour change (2 protected head messages instead of 3), but this
is the rare path and the new semantics make the system-prompt-present
case the well-defined one.

Changes:

- agent/context_compressor.py: redefine protect_first_n as the count of
  non-system head messages protected beyond the implicit system-prompt
  guarantee; both paths converge. Constructor default updated to 2.
- hermes_cli/config.py: add `compression.protect_first_n` default (2),
  matching the new semantics. `show_config` label tweaked to
  'Protect first: N non-system head messages' for clarity.
- run_agent.py: read protect_first_n from config; 0 is now valid (system
  prompt is always implicitly protected).
- cli-config.yaml.example: document the new key and rationale.
- tests/agent/test_context_compressor.py: cover default, override, the
  end-to-end `protect_first_n=0` and `protect_first_n=1` behaviour,
  the no-system-prompt (gateway) path, and the new shared-semantics
  regression test.

d863773c81 feat(discord): add thread_require_mention for multi-bot threads
By default, once Hermes participates in a Discord thread (auto-created on
@mention or replied in once) it auto-responds to every subsequent message
in that thread without requiring further @mentions. That's the right default
for one-on-one conversations and isolated channel threads.

But it's a confirmed footgun in multi-bot threads. When a user invokes one
bot per turn — addressing Codex first, then Hermes — every other bot in the
thread also fires on every message, burning credits and spamming the channel.
Author has hit this personally in active multi-bot research-team threads.

Add a new `discord.thread_require_mention` config key (env:
`DISCORD_THREAD_REQUIRE_MENTION`), default `false` to preserve existing
behavior. When `true`, the in-thread mention shortcut is disabled and
threads are gated the same way channels are. Explicit @mentions still pass
through as expected.

Mirrors the existing helper shape (config.extra > env > default) and the
existing yaml→env bridge pattern used by `require_mention`.

Changes:

- gateway/platforms/discord.py: new `_discord_thread_require_mention()`
  helper; in_bot_thread shortcut now AND's with `not _discord_thread_require_mention()`
- gateway/config.py: bridge `discord.thread_require_mention` from config.yaml
  to `DISCORD_THREAD_REQUIRE_MENTION` env var (mirrors the existing
  `require_mention` bridge two lines above)
- hermes_cli/config.py: add `thread_require_mention: False` default to
  DEFAULT_CONFIG['discord']
- tests/gateway/test_discord_free_response.py: 4 new tests covering default
  behaviour (in-thread shortcut still works), enabled behaviour (mention
  required in threads), enabled+mentioned (mention still passes through),
  and yaml-via-config.extra path. Also clears DISCORD_* env vars in the
  `adapter` fixture so process-env state from the contributor's shell
  doesn't leak into per-test behaviour.
- tests/gateway/test_config.py: 2 new tests covering the yaml→env bridge
  (both the apply-from-yaml and env-precedence-over-yaml paths)
- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/discord.md: document the new env var
  + config key with multi-bot rationale; cross-link from `auto_thread`
  section

feat(codex-runtime): skip unavailable plugins during migration (#25437)
Followup to PR #24182 — caught when scanning OpenClaw for recent codex
fixes we hadn't considered. OpenClaw learned the hard way (#80815) that
migrating plugins which codex itself reports as unavailable produces
config that fails at activation time.

Our /codex-runtime codex_app_server enable path queries codex's
plugin/list and migrates everything where installed=true. We were
trusting codex's installation state and ignoring its availability
field. So a plugin that's installed=true but availability=UNAVAILABLE
(broken local install) or REQUIRES_AUTH (OAuth expired or never
completed) would get an [plugins."<n>@openai-curated"] entry in
~/.codex/config.toml — and the user's first codex turn after enabling
the runtime would fail because codex refuses to activate it.

Fix: filter on availability in _query_codex_plugins(). Only emit
plugins where availability is empty (older codex versions without the
field — preserve backward compat) or explicitly AVAILABLE.

Tests:
  test_plugin_discovery_skips_unavailable_plugins — verifies 4 cases:
    - good-plugin (installed=True, availability=AVAILABLE) → migrated
    - broken-plugin (installed=True, availability=UNAVAILABLE) → skipped
    - auth-pending (installed=True, availability=REQUIRES_AUTH) → skipped
    - legacy-plugin (installed=True, no availability field) → migrated
      (older codex versions; preserve backward compat)

Docs:
  Added bullet to 'What's NOT migrated' list in the docs page calling
  out the availability filter and why.

Other OpenClaw codex PRs I reviewed but did NOT apply (with reasoning):
  - #81591 (load Codex for selectable models): we resolve runtime
    per-call already, no startup-time gating to fix
  - #81510 (cron compatibility): we documented cron as untested; their
    fix is for OpenClaw-specific cron orchestration shape
  - #81223 (rotate incompatible context-engine threads): we don't
    have a Lossless context engine equivalent
  - #80688 (constrain sandbox): we don't have an outer-sandbox concept
  - #80616 (release on turn_aborted): we already handle status=
    interrupted in turn/completed correctly
  - #80278 (expose activeModel in plugin SDK): not our surface
  - #80792 (default destructive_actions on): we don't expose that knob

56 codex-runtime migration tests still green (+1 new).

feat(dashboard): hide token/cost analytics behind config flag (default off) (#25438)
The Analytics page and the token/cost surfaces on the Models page show
local debug estimates only. They count input+output (and a bar viz adds
cache_read+reasoning, missing cache_write entirely) from successful
main-agent responses that returned a usable usage block.

Excluded silently:
- All auxiliary calls — context compression, title generation, vision,
  session search, web extract, smart approvals, MCP routing, plugin LLM
  access (13 production call sites bypass update_token_counts)
- Provider-side retries, fallback attempts
- Any call whose usage block didn't come back
- cache_write_tokens (column exists in sessions table but not returned
  by /api/analytics/models)

Real-world impact: a user on Kimi K2.6 saw 150K local vs 27M on the
OpenRouter side over the same window. Precise-looking numbers next to
provider billing create false confidence and support load.

This change adds dashboard.show_token_analytics (default False) to gate:
- The Analytics nav item (hidden from sidebar when off)
- The Analytics page (renders an explanation card instead of charts)
- Token bars, totals, cost figures, avg/api_calls on the Models page

The Models page keeps capability metadata (context window, vision,
tools, reasoning), the use-as-main/aux menu, sessions count, and
last-used timestamps when the flag is off.

Set dashboard.show_token_analytics: true in config.yaml to opt back in
to the local debug estimate. Fixing the underlying accounting (issue
#23270) is a separate, larger workstream.

3a30c605b3 feat(plugins): add thread-local tool whitelist to pre_tool_call gate
Adds set_thread_tool_whitelist / clear_thread_tool_whitelist to
hermes_cli/plugins.py. When set on the current thread, restricts which
tools can pass through get_pre_tool_call_block_message; non-whitelisted
tools are blocked with a configurable deny message.

Mirrors the per-thread approval-callback pattern already used by
set_approval_callback (tools/terminal_tool.py:190). Used by
_spawn_background_review to deny non-memory/non-skill tools at runtime
while inheriting the parent agent's full tools schema for prefix-cache
parity (see follow-up commit).

Tests cover allow / deny / clear / cross-thread isolation.

`hermes tools` -> "All Platforms" took ~14s to render the checklist
because building the toolset labels called `get_nous_auth_status()` ~31x
transitively (`_toolset_has_keys` -> `_visible_providers` ->
`get_nous_subscription_features` -> `managed_nous_tools_enabled`).
Each call did a synchronous OAuth refresh POST to
portal.nousresearch.com (~350ms even on the failure path), so one menu
paint burned >13s of HTTP and 31 single-use Nous refresh tokens.

Secondary hot spot: every `get_env_value()` re-read and re-sanitised
the entire .env file. 116 reads with O(lines x known-keys) scanning
added ~300ms of CPU per render.

Fix is two process-level caches, both mtime-keyed so login/logout/edit
invalidate naturally:

* `hermes_cli/auth.py`: memoise `get_nous_auth_status()` for 15s keyed
  on auth.json mtime. Splits `_compute_nous_auth_status()` as the
  uncached impl. Adds `invalidate_nous_auth_status_cache()`.
* `hermes_cli/config.py`: memoise `load_env()` keyed on .env
  (path, mtime, size). Adds `invalidate_env_cache()`, wired into
  `save_env_value`, `remove_env_value`, and the sanitize-on-load
  writer so writers don't return stale dicts on same-second writes.

Before/after on Teknium's box (real HERMES_HOME, no Nous login):

* "All Platforms" cold path: ~13,874ms -> ~691ms label-build
* Warm re-open within the same process: ~122ms -> ~17ms

Side benefit: stops burning a Nous refresh token on every menu paint,
which was risking the portal's reuse-detection revocation logic.

fix(tools-config): write video_gen.provider on Reconfigure tool path (#25307)
`_reconfigure_provider()` handled `image_gen_plugin_name` in both
branches (no-env-vars early return and post-env-vars) but never mirrored
the same handling for `video_gen_plugin_name`. The first-time
`_configure_provider()` path correctly routes to
`_select_plugin_video_gen_provider()`; reconfigure forgot to.

Repro:
1. Enable video_gen in `hermes tools` → Configure for All Platforms.
2. Go back into `hermes tools` → Reconfigure tool → Video Generation.
3. Pick xAI (with XAI_API_KEY already set).
4. Hit Enter at the "keep current key?" prompt.

Expected: `video_gen.provider: xai` written to config.yaml.
Actual: function returns silently; no `video_gen:` block ever written;
`video_generate` tool fails with "No video generation backend is
configured."

Fix: add the missing `video_gen_plugin_name` branch in both code paths
of `_reconfigure_provider()`, mirroring the existing
`image_gen_plugin_name` handling and the first-time configure logic.

Tests: `tests/hermes_cli/test_video_gen_picker.py` covers both branches
(env-vars-set keep-current and no-env-vars paths).

feat(codex-runtime): optional codex app-server runtime for OpenAI/Codex models (#24182)
* feat(codex-runtime): scaffold optional codex app-server runtime

Foundational commit for an opt-in alternate runtime that hands OpenAI/Codex
turns to a 'codex app-server' subprocess instead of Hermes' tool dispatch.
Default behavior is unchanged.

Lands in three pieces:

1. agent/transports/codex_app_server.py — JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio speaker
   for codex's app-server protocol (codex-rs/app-server). Spawn, init
   handshake, request/response, notification queue, server-initiated
   request queue (for approval round-trips), interrupt-friendly blocking
   reads. Tested against real codex 0.130.0 binary end-to-end during
   development.

2. hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py:
   - Adds 'codex_app_server' to _VALID_API_MODES.
   - Adds _maybe_apply_codex_app_server_runtime() helper, called at the
     end of _resolve_runtime_from_pool_entry(). Inert unless
     'model.openai_runtime: codex_app_server' is set in config.yaml AND
     provider in {openai, openai-codex}. Other providers cannot be
     rerouted (anthropic, openrouter, etc. preserved).

3. tests/agent/transports/test_codex_app_server_runtime.py — 24 tests
   covering api_mode registration, the rewriter helper (default-off,
   case-insensitive, opt-in, non-eligible providers preserved), version
   parser, missing-binary handling, error class. Does NOT require codex
   CLI installed.

This commit is wire-only: the api_mode is recognized but AIAgent does
not yet branch on it. Followup commits add the session adapter, event
projector, approval bridge, transcript projection (so memory/skill
review still works), plugin migration, and slash command.

Existing tests remain green:
- tests/cli/test_cli_provider_resolution.py (29 passed)
- tests/agent/test_credential_pool_routing.py (included above)

* feat(codex-runtime): add codex item projector for memory/skill review

The translator that lets Hermes' self-improvement loop keep working under the
Codex runtime: converts codex 'item/*' notifications into Hermes' standard
{role, content, tool_calls, tool_call_id} message shape that
agent/curator.py already knows how to read.

Item taxonomy (matches codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/item.rs):
  - userMessage          → {role: user, content}
  - agentMessage         → {role: assistant, content: text}
  - reasoning            → stashed in next assistant's 'reasoning' field
  - commandExecution     → assistant tool_call(name='exec_command') + tool result
  - fileChange           → assistant tool_call(name='apply_patch') + tool result
  - mcpToolCall          → assistant tool_call(name='mcp.<server>.<tool>') + tool result
  - dynamicToolCall      → assistant tool_call(name=<tool>) + tool result
  - plan/hookPrompt/etc  → opaque assistant note, no fabricated tool_calls

Invariants preserved:
  - Message role alternation never violated: each tool item produces at most
    one assistant + one tool message in that order, correlated by call_id.
  - Streaming deltas (item/<type>/outputDelta, item/agentMessage/delta)
    don't materialize messages — only item/completed does. Mirrors how
    Hermes already only writes the assistant message after streaming ends.
  - Tool call ids are deterministic (codex item id-based) so replays produce
    identical messages and prefix caches stay valid (AGENTS.md pitfall #16).
  - JSON args use sorted_keys for the same reason.

Real wire formats verified against codex 0.130.0 by capturing live
notifications from thread/shellCommand and including one as a fixture
(COMMAND_EXEC_COMPLETED).

23 new tests, all green:
  - Streaming deltas don't materialize (3 paths)
  - Turn/thread frame events are silent
  - commandExecution: 5 tests including non-zero exit annotation +
    deterministic id stability across replays
  - agentMessage + reasoning attachment + reasoning consumption
  - fileChange: summary without inlined content
  - mcpToolCall: namespaced naming + error surfacing
  - userMessage: text fragments only (drops images/etc)
  - opaque items: no fabricated tool_calls
  - Helpers: deterministic id stability + sorted JSON args
  - Role alternation invariant across all four tool-shaped item types

This commit is a pure addition. AIAgent integration (the wire that uses the
projector) is the next commit.

* feat(codex-runtime): add session adapter + approval bridge

The third self-contained module: CodexAppServerSession owns one Codex
thread per Hermes session, drives turn/start, consumes streaming
notifications via CodexEventProjector, handles server-initiated approval
requests, and translates cancellation into turn/interrupt.

The adapter has a single public per-turn method:

    result = session.run_turn(user_input='...', turn_timeout=600)
    # result.final_text          → assistant text for the caller
    # result.projected_messages  → list ready to splice into AIAgent.messages
    # result.tool_iterations     → tick count for _iters_since_skill nudge
    # result.interrupted         → True on Ctrl+C / deadline / interrupt
    # result.error               → error string when the turn cannot complete
    # result.turn_id, thread_id  → for sessions DB / resume

Behavior:

  - ensure_started() spawns codex, does the initialize handshake, and
    issues thread/start with cwd + permissions profile. Idempotent.
  - run_turn() blocks until turn/completed, drains server-initiated
    requests (approvals) before reading notifications so codex never
    deadlocks waiting for us, projects every item/completed via the
    projector, and increments tool_iterations for the skill nudge gate.
  - request_interrupt() is thread-safe (threading.Event); the next loop
    iteration issues turn/interrupt and unwinds.
  - turn_timeout deadlock guard issues turn/interrupt and records an
    error if the turn never completes.
  - close() escalates terminate → kill via the underlying client.

Approval bridge:

  Codex emits server-initiated requests for execCommandApproval and
  applyPatchApproval. The adapter translates Hermes' approval choice
  vocabulary onto codex's decision vocabulary:

    Hermes 'once'                → codex 'approved'
    Hermes 'session' or 'always' → codex 'approvedForSession'
    Hermes 'deny' / anything else → codex 'denied'

  Routing precedence:
    1. _ServerRequestRouting.auto_approve_* flags (cron / non-interactive)
    2. approval_callback wired by the CLI (defers to
       tools.approval.prompt_dangerous_approval())
    3. Fail-closed denial when neither is wired

  Unknown server-request methods are answered with JSON-RPC error -32601
  so codex doesn't hang waiting for us.

Permission profile mapping mirrors AGENTS.md:
    Hermes 'auto'              → codex 'workspace-write'
    Hermes 'approval-required' → codex 'read-only-with-approval'
    Hermes 'unrestricted/yolo' → codex 'full-access'

20 new tests, all green. Combined with prior commits this PR now has
67 tests across three modules:
  - test_codex_app_server_runtime.py: 24 (api_mode + transport surface)
  - test_codex_event_projector.py: 23 (item taxonomy projections)
  - test_codex_app_server_session.py: 20 (turn loop + approvals + interrupts)

Full tests/agent/transports/ directory: 249/249 pass — no regressions
to existing transport tests.

Still no wire into AIAgent.run_conversation(); that integration commit
is small and goes next.

* feat(codex-runtime): wire codex_app_server runtime into AIAgent

The integration commit. AIAgent.run_conversation() now early-returns to a
new helper _run_codex_app_server_turn() when self.api_mode ==
'codex_app_server', bypassing the chat_completions tool loop entirely.

Three small surgical edits to run_agent.py (~105 LOC total):

1. Line ~1204 (constructor api_mode validation set):
   Add 'codex_app_server' so an explicit api_mode='codex_app_server'
   passed to AIAgent() isn't silently rewritten to 'chat_completions'.

2. Line ~12048 (run_conversation, just before the while loop):
   Early-return to _run_codex_app_server_turn() when self.api_mode is
   'codex_app_server'. Placed AFTER all standard pre-loop setup —
   logging context, session DB, surrogate sanitization, _user_turn_count
   and _turns_since_memory increments, _ext_prefetch_cache, memory
   manager on_turn_start — so behavior outside the model-call loop is
   identical between paths. Default Hermes flow is unchanged when the
   flag is off.

3. End-of-class (line ~15497):
   New method _run_codex_app_server_turn(). Lazy-instantiates one
   CodexAppServerSession per AIAgent (reused across turns), runs the
   turn, splices projected_messages into messages, increments
   _iters_since_skill by tool_iterations (since the chat_completions
   loop normally does that per iteration), fires
   _spawn_background_review on the same cadence as the default path.

Counter accounting:

  _turns_since_memory  ← already incremented at run_conversation:11817
                         (gated on memory store configured) — codex
                         helper does NOT touch it (would double-count).
  _user_turn_count     ← already incremented at run_conversation:11793
                         — codex helper does NOT touch it.
  _iters_since_skill   ← incremented in the chat_completions loop per
                         tool iteration. Codex helper increments by
                         turn.tool_iterations since the loop is bypassed.

User message:

  ALREADY appended to messages by run_conversation pre-loop (line 11823)
  before the early-return reaches us. Helper does NOT append again.
  Regression test test_user_message_not_duplicated guards this.

Approval callback wiring:

  Lazy-fetches tools.terminal_tool._get_approval_callback at session
  spawn time, passes to CodexAppServerSession. CLI threads with
  prompt_toolkit get interactive approvals; gateway/cron contexts get
  the codex-side fail-closed deny.

Error path:

  Codex session exceptions become a 'partial' result with completed=False
  and a final_response that explicitly tells the user how to switch back:
  'Codex app-server turn failed: ... Fall back to default runtime with
  /codex-runtime auto.' Same return-dict shape as the chat_completions
  path so all callers (gateway, CLI, batch_runner, ACP) work unchanged.

9 new integration tests in tests/run_agent/test_codex_app_server_integration.py:
  - api_mode='codex_app_server' is accepted on AIAgent construction
  - run_conversation returns the expected codex shape
    (final_response, codex_thread_id, codex_turn_id, completed, partial)
  - Projected messages are spliced into messages list
  - _iters_since_skill ticks per tool iteration
  - _user_turn_count delegated to standard flow (not double-counted)
  - User message appears exactly once (regression guard)
  - _spawn_background_review IS invoked (memory/skill review keeps working)
  - chat.completions.create is NEVER called (loop fully bypassed)
  - Session exception → partial result with /codex-runtime auto hint
  - Interrupted turn → partial result with error preserved

Adjacent test runs confirm no regressions:
  - tests/run_agent/test_memory_nudge_counter_hydration.py: green
  - tests/run_agent/test_background_review.py: green
  - tests/run_agent/test_fallback_model.py: green
  - tests/agent/transports/: 249/249 green

Still missing for full feature: /codex-runtime slash command, plugin
migration helper, docs page, live e2e test gated on codex binary. Those
are the remaining followup commits.

* feat(codex-runtime): add /codex-runtime slash command (CLI + gateway)

User-facing toggle for the optional codex app-server runtime. Follows the
'Adding a Slash Command (All Platforms)' pattern from AGENTS.md exactly:
single CommandDef in the central registry → CLI handler → gateway handler
→ running-agent guard → all surfaces (autocomplete, /help, Telegram menu,
Slack subcommands) update automatically.

Surface:
    /codex-runtime                    — show current state + codex CLI status
    /codex-runtime auto               — Hermes default runtime
    /codex-runtime codex_app_server   — codex subprocess runtime
    /codex-runtime on / off           — synonyms

Files changed:

  hermes_cli/codex_runtime_switch.py (new):
    Pure-Python state machine shared by CLI and gateway. Parse args,
    read/write model.openai_runtime in the config dict, gate enabling
    behind a codex --version check (don't let users opt in to a runtime
    they have no binary for; print npm install hint instead).
    Returns a CodexRuntimeStatus dataclass that callers render however
    suits their surface.

  hermes_cli/commands.py:
    Single CommandDef entry, no aliases (codex-runtime is its own thing).

  cli.py:
    Dispatch in process_command() + _handle_codex_runtime() handler that
    delegates to the shared module and renders results via _cprint.

  gateway/run.py:
    Dispatch in _handle_message() + _handle_codex_runtime_command() that
    returns a string (gateway sends as message). On a successful change
    that requires a new session, _evict_cached_agent() forces the next
    inbound message to construct a fresh AIAgent with the new api_mode —
    avoids prompt-cache invalidation mid-session.

  gateway/run.py running-agent guard:
    /codex-runtime joins /model in the early-intercept block so a runtime
    flip mid-turn can't split a turn across two transports.

Tests:
  tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_switch.py — 25 tests covering the
  state machine: arg parsing (10 cases incl. case-insensitive and
  synonyms), reading current runtime (5 cases incl. malformed configs),
  writing runtime (3 cases), apply() entry point covering read-only,
  no-op, codex-missing-blocked, codex-present-success, disable-no-binary-check,
  and persist-failure paths (8 cases). All green.

Adjacent test suites confirm no regressions:
  - tests/hermes_cli/test_commands.py + test_codex_runtime_switch.py:
    167/167 green
  - tests/agent/transports/: 283/283 green when combined with prior commits

Still missing: plugin migration helper, docs page, live e2e test gated on
codex binary. Followup commits.

* feat(codex-runtime): auto-migrate Hermes MCP servers to ~/.codex/config.toml

Translates the user's mcp_servers config from ~/.hermes/config.yaml into
the TOML format codex's MCP client expects. Wired into the
/codex-runtime codex_app_server enable path so users get their MCP tool
surface in the spawned subprocess automatically.

The migration runs on every enable. Failures are non-fatal — the runtime
change still proceeds and the user gets a warning so they can fix the
codex config manually.

What translates (mapping verified against codex-rs/core/src/config/edit.rs):
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.command/args/env  → codex stdio transport
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.url/headers       → codex streamable_http transport
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.timeout           → codex tool_timeout_sec
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.connect_timeout   → codex startup_timeout_sec
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.cwd               → codex stdio cwd
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.enabled: false    → codex enabled = false

What does NOT translate (warned + skipped per server):
  Hermes-specific keys (sampling, etc.) — codex's MCP client has no
  equivalent. Listed in the per-server skipped[] field of the report.

What's NOT migrated (intentional):
  AGENTS.md — codex respects this file natively in its cwd. Hermes' own
  AGENTS.md (project-level) is already in the worktree, so codex picks
  it up without translation. No code needed.

Idempotency design:
  All managed content lives between a 'managed by hermes-agent' marker
  and the next non-mcp_servers section header. _strip_existing_managed_block
  removes the prior managed region cleanly, preserving any user-added
  codex config (model, providers.openai, sandbox profiles, etc.) above
  or below.

Files added:
  hermes_cli/codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py — pure-Python migration
    helper. Public API: migrate(hermes_config, codex_home=None,
    dry_run=False) returns MigrationReport with .migrated/.errors/
    .skipped_keys_per_server. No external TOML dependency — minimal
    formatter handles strings/numbers/booleans/lists/inline-tables.

  tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py — 39 tests
  covering:
    - per-server translation (12): stdio/http/sse, cwd, timeouts,
      enabled flag, command+url precedence, sampling drop, unknown keys
    - TOML formatter (8): types, escaping, inline tables, error case
    - existing-block stripping (4): no marker, alone, with user content
      above, with user content below
    - end-to-end migrate() (8): empty, dry-run, round-trip, idempotent
      re-run, preserves user config, error reporting, invalid input,
      summary formatting

Files changed:
  hermes_cli/codex_runtime_switch.py — apply() now calls migrate() in
    the codex_app_server enable branch. Migration failure logs a warning
    in the result message but does NOT fail the runtime change. Disable
    path (auto) explicitly skips migration.

  tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_switch.py — 3 new tests:
    test_enable_triggers_mcp_migration, test_disable_does_not_trigger_migration,
    test_migration_failure_does_not_block_enable.

All 325 feature tests green:
  - tests/agent/transports/: 249 (incl. 67 new)
  - tests/run_agent/test_codex_app_server_integration.py: 9
  - tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_switch.py: 28 (3 new)
  - tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py: 39 (new)

* perf(codex-runtime): cache codex --version check within apply()

Single /codex-runtime invocation could spawn 'codex --version' up to 3
times (state report, enable gate, success message). Each spawn is ~50ms,
so the cumulative cost wasn't a crisis, but it was wasteful and turned a
trivial slash command into something noticeably laggy on slower systems.

Refactored to lazy-once via a closure over a nonlocal cache. First call
spawns; subsequent calls in the same apply() reuse the result.

Behavior unchanged — same return shape, same error handling, same install
hint when codex is missing. Just one subprocess per call instead of three.

Two regression-guard tests added:
  - test_binary_check_cached_within_apply: enable path → call_count == 1
  - test_binary_check_cached_on_read_only_call: state-report path → call_count == 1

Total tests for /codex-runtime now 30 (was 28); all 143 codex-runtime
tests still green.

* fix(codex-runtime): correct protocol field names found via live e2e test

Three real bugs caught only by running a turn end-to-end against codex
0.130.0 with a real ChatGPT subscription. Unit tests passed because they
asserted on our own (incorrect) wire shapes; the wire format from
codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/* is the source of truth and
my initial reading of the README was incomplete.

Bug 1: thread/start.permissions wire format

Was sending {"profileId": "workspace-write"}.
Real format per PermissionProfileSelectionParams enum (tagged union):
  {"type": "profile", "id": "workspace-write"}
AND requires the experimentalApi capability declared during initialize.
AND requires a matching [permissions] table in ~/.codex/config.toml or
codex fails the request with 'default_permissions requires a [permissions]
table'.

Fix: stop overriding permissions on thread/start. Codex picks its default
profile (read-only unless user configures otherwise), which matches what
codex CLI users expect — they configure their default permission profile
in ~/.codex/config.toml the standard way. Trying to be clever about
profile selection broke every turn we tested.

Live error before fix: 'Invalid request: missing field type' on every
turn/start, even though our turn/start payload was correct — the field
codex was complaining about was inside the permissions sub-object we
shouldn't have been sending.

Bug 2: server-request method names

Was matching 'execCommandApproval' and 'applyPatchApproval'.
Real names per common.rs ServerRequest enum:
  item/commandExecution/requestApproval
  item/fileChange/requestApproval
  item/permissions/requestApproval (new third method)

Fix: match the documented names. Added handler for
item/permissions/requestApproval that always declines — codex sometimes
asks to escalate permissions mid-turn and silent acceptance would surprise
users.

Live symptom before fix: agent.log showed
'Unknown codex server request: item/commandExecution/requestApproval'
and codex stalled because we replied with -32601 (unsupported method)
instead of an approval decision. The agent reported back 'The write
command was rejected' even though Hermes never showed the user an
approval prompt.

Bug 3: approval decision values

Was sending decision strings 'approved'/'approvedForSession'/'denied'.
Real values per CommandExecutionApprovalDecision enum (camelCase):
  accept, acceptForSession, decline, cancel
(also AcceptWithExecpolicyAmendment and ApplyNetworkPolicyAmendment
variants we don't currently use).

Fix: rename _approval_choice_to_codex_decision return values; update
auto_approve_* fallbacks; update fail-closed default from 'denied' to
'decline'. Test mapping table updated to match.

Live test verified after fixes:
  $ hermes (with model.openai_runtime: codex_app_server)
  > Run the shell command: echo hermes-codex-livetest > .../proof.txt
    then read it back

  Approval prompt fired with 'Codex requests exec in <cwd>'.
  User chose 'Allow once'. Codex executed the command, wrote the file,
  read it back. Final response: 'Read back from proof.txt:
  hermes-codex-livetest'. File contents on disk match.

agent.log confirms:
  codex app-server thread started: id=019e200e profile=workspace-write
                                    cwd=/tmp/hermes-codex-livetest/workspace

All 20 session tests still green after wire-format updates.

* fix(codex-runtime): correct apply_patch approval params + ship docs

Live e2e revealed FileChangeRequestApprovalParams doesn't carry the
changeset (just itemId, threadId, turnId, reason, grantRoot) — Codex's
'reason' field describes what the patch wants to do. Test config and
display logic updated to use it. The first 'apply_patch (0 change(s))'
display from the live test is now 'apply_patch: <reason>'.

Adds website/docs/user-guide/features/codex-app-server-runtime.md
covering enable/disable, prerequisites, approval UX, MCP migration
behavior, permission profile delegation to ~/.codex/config.toml, known
limitations, and the architecture diagram. Wired into the Automation
category in sidebars.ts.

Live e2e validation across the path matrix:
  ✓ thread/start handshake
  ✓ turn/start with text input
  ✓ commandExecution items + projection
  ✓ item/commandExecution/requestApproval → Hermes UI → response
  ✓ Approve once → command runs
  ✓ Deny → command rejected, codex falls back to read-only message
  ✓ Multi-turn (codex remembers prior turn's results)
  ✓ apply_patch via Codex's fileChange path
  ✓ item/fileChange/requestApproval → Hermes UI
  ✓ MCP server migration loads inside spawned codex (verified via
    'use the filesystem MCP tool' prompt)
  ✓ /codex-runtime auto → codex_app_server toggle cycle
  ✓ Disable doesn't trigger migration
  ✓ Enable with codex CLI present succeeds + migrates
  ✓ Hermes-side interrupt path (turn/interrupt request issued cleanly
    even if codex finishes before the interrupt lands)

Known live-validated limitations now documented in the docs page:
  - delegate_task subagents unavailable on this runtime
  - permission profile selection delegated to ~/.codex/config.toml
  - apply_patch approval prompt has no inline changeset (codex protocol
    doesn't expose it)

145/145 codex-runtime tests still green.

* feat(codex-runtime): native plugin migration + UX polish (quirks 2/4/5/10/11)

Major: migrate native Codex plugins (#7 in OpenClaw's PR list)

Discovers installed curated plugins via codex's plugin/list RPC and
writes [plugins."<name>@<marketplace>"] entries to ~/.codex/config.toml
so they're enabled in the spawned Codex sessions. This is the
'YouTube-video-worthy' bit Pash highlighted: when a user has
google-calendar, github, etc. installed in their Codex CLI, those
plugins activate automatically when they enable Hermes' codex runtime.

Implementation:
  - hermes_cli/codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py: new _query_codex_plugins()
    helper spawns 'codex app-server' briefly and walks plugin/list. Returns
    (plugins, error) — failures are non-fatal so MCP migration still works.
  - render_codex_toml_section() now takes plugins + permissions args.
  - migrate() defaults: discover_plugins=True, default_permission_profile=
    'workspace-write'. Explicit None on either disables that side.
  - _strip_existing_managed_block() now also strips [plugins.*] and
    [permissions]/[permissions.*] sections inside the managed block, so
    re-runs replace plugins cleanly without touching codex's own config.

Quirk fixes:

#2 Default permissions profile written on enable.
   Without this, Codex's read-only default kicks in and EVERY write
   triggers an approval prompt. Now writes [permissions] default =
   'workspace-write' so the runtime feels normal out of the box. Set
   default_permission_profile=None to opt out.

#4 apply_patch approval prompt now shows what's changing.
   Codex's FileChangeRequestApprovalParams doesn't carry the changeset.
   Session adapter now caches the fileChange item from item/started
   notifications and looks it up by itemId when codex requests approval.
   Prompt shows '1 add, 1 update: /tmp/new.py, /tmp/old.py' instead of
   'apply_patch (0 change(s))'.

   Side benefit: also drains pending notifications BEFORE handling a
   server request, so the projector and per-turn caches are up to date
   when the approval decision fires. Bounded to 8 notifications per
   loop iter to avoid starving codex's response.

#5/#10 Exec approval prompt never shows empty cwd.
   When codex omits cwd in CommandExecutionRequestApprovalParams, fall
   back to the session's cwd. If somehow neither is available, show
   '<unknown>' explicitly instead of an empty string.

   Also surfaces 'reason' from the approval params when codex provides
   it — gives users more context on why codex wants to run something.

#11 Banner indicates the codex_app_server runtime when active.
   New 'Runtime: codex app-server (terminal/file ops/MCP run inside
   codex)' line appears in the welcome banner only when the runtime is
   on. Default banner is unchanged.

Tests:
  - 7 new tests in test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py covering
    plugin discovery (mocked), failure handling, dry-run skip, opt-out
    flag, idempotent re-runs, and permissions writing.
  - 3 new tests in test_codex_app_server_session.py covering the
    enriched approval prompts: cwd fallback, change summary on
    apply_patch, fallback when no item/started cache exists.
  - All 26 session tests + 46 migration tests green; 153 total in PR.

* feat(codex-runtime): hermes-tools MCP callback + native plugin migration

The big architectural addition: when codex_app_server runtime is on,
Hermes registers its own tool surface as an MCP server in
~/.codex/config.toml so the codex subprocess can call back into Hermes
for tools codex doesn't ship with — web_search, browser_*, vision,
image_generate, skills, TTS.

Also: 'migrate native codex plugins' (Pash's YouTube-video-worthy bit) —
when the user has plugins like Linear, GitHub, Gmail, Calendar, Canva
installed via 'codex plugin', Hermes discovers them via plugin/list and
writes [plugins.<name>@openai-curated] entries so they activate
automatically.

New module: agent/transports/hermes_tools_mcp_server.py
  FastMCP stdio server exposing 17 Hermes tools. Each call dispatches
  through model_tools.handle_function_call() — same code path as the
  Hermes default runtime. Run with:
    python -m agent.transports.hermes_tools_mcp_server [--verbose]

  Exposed: web_search, web_extract, browser_navigate / _click / _type /
    _press / _snapshot / _scroll / _back / _get_images / _console /
    _vision, vision_analyze, image_generate, skill_view, skills_list,
    text_to_speech.

  NOT exposed (deliberately):
    - terminal/shell/read_file/write_file/patch — codex has built-ins
    - delegate_task/memory/session_search/todo — _AGENT_LOOP_TOOLS in
      model_tools.py:493, require running AIAgent context. Documented
      as a limitation and surfaced in the slash command output.

Migration changes (hermes_cli/codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py):
  - _query_codex_plugins() spawns 'codex app-server' briefly to walk
    plugin/list and pull installed openai-curated plugins. Failures are
    non-fatal — MCP migration still completes.
  - render_codex_toml_section() now takes plugins + permissions args
    AND wraps the managed block with a MIGRATION_END_MARKER comment so
    the stripper can reliably find both ends, even when the block
    contains top-level keys (default_permissions = ...).
  - migrate() defaults: discover_plugins=True, expose_hermes_tools=True,
    default_permission_profile=':workspace' (built-in codex profile name
    — must be prefixed with ':'). All three opt-out via explicit args.
  - _build_hermes_tools_mcp_entry() builds the codex stdio entry with
    HERMES_HOME and PYTHONPATH passthrough so a worktree-launched
    Hermes points the MCP subprocess at the same module layout.

Live-caught wire bugs fixed during this turn:
  1. Permission profile config key is top-level , NOT a [permissions] table. The [permissions] table is
     for *user-defined* profiles with structured fields. Built-in
     profile names start with ':' (':workspace', ':read-only',
     ':danger-no-sandbox'). Was emitting
     which codex rejected with 'invalid type: string "X", expected
     struct PermissionProfileToml'.
  2. Built-in profile is , NOT . Codex
     rejected  with 'unknown built-in profile'.
  3. Codex's MCP layer sends  for
     tool-call confirmation. We weren't handling it, so codex stalled
     and returned 'MCP tool call was rejected'. Now: auto-accept for
     our own hermes-tools server (user already opted in by enabling
     the runtime), decline for third-party servers.

Quirk fixes shipped (from the limitations list):
  #2 default permissions: workspace profile written on enable. No more
     approval prompt on every write.
  #4 apply_patch approval shows what's changing: cache fileChange
     items from item/started, look up by itemId when codex sends
     item/fileChange/requestApproval. Prompt: '1 add, 1 update:
     /tmp/new.py, /tmp/old.py' instead of '0 change(s)'.
  #5/#10 exec approval cwd never empty: fall back to session cwd, then
     '<unknown>'. Also surfaces 'reason' from codex when present.
  #11 banner shows 'Runtime: codex app-server' line when active so
     users understand why tool counts may not match what's reachable.

Tests:
  - 5 new tests in test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py covering
    plugin discovery, expose_hermes_tools entry generation, idempotent
    re-runs, opt-out flag, permissions profile.
  - 3 new tests in test_codex_app_server_session.py covering enriched
    approval prompts (cwd fallback, fileChange summary).
  - 2 new tests for mcpServer/elicitation/request handling (accept
    hermes-tools, decline others).
  - New test file test_hermes_tools_mcp_server.py covering module
    surface, EXPOSED_TOOLS safety invariants (no shell/file_ops,
    no agent-loop tools), and main() error paths.
  - 166 codex-runtime tests total, all green.

Live e2e validated against codex 0.130.0 + ChatGPT subscription:
  ✓ /codex-runtime codex_app_server enables, migrates filesystem MCP,
    registers hermes-tools, writes default_permissions = ':workspace'
  ✓ Banner shows 'Runtime: codex app-server' line in subsequent sessions
  ✓ Shell command runs without approval prompt (workspace profile works)
  ✓ Multi-turn — codex remembers prior turn's results
  ✓ apply_patch path via fileChange request approval
  ✓ web_search via hermes-tools MCP callback returns real Firecrawl
    results: 'OpenAI Codex CLI – Getting Started' end-to-end in 13s
  ✓ Disable cycle clean

Docs updated: website/docs/user-guide/features/codex-app-server-runtime.md
  Full re-write covering native plugin migration, the hermes-tools
  callback architecture, the prerequisites change ('codex login is
  separate from hermes auth login codex'), the trade-off table now
  reflecting which Hermes tools work via callback, and the limitations
  list updated with what's actually unavailable on this runtime.

* feat(codex-runtime): pin user-config preservation invariant for quirk #6

Quirk #6 from the limitations list — user MCP servers / overrides /
codex-only sections in ~/.codex/config.toml that live OUTSIDE the
hermes-managed block must survive re-migration verbatim.

This already worked thanks to the MIGRATION_MARKER + MIGRATION_END_MARKER
pair I added when fixing the default_permissions wire format (so the
strip can find both ends of the managed region even with top-level
keys like default_permissions). But it was an emergent property
without a test pinning it.

Now explicitly tested:
  - User MCP server above the managed block survives migration
  - User MCP server below the managed block survives migration
  - Both above + below survive a second re-migration
  - User content (model, providers, sandbox, otel, etc.) outside our
    region is left untouched

Docs added a section "Editing ~/.codex/config.toml safely" explaining
the marker contract — so users know they can add their own MCP
servers, override permissions, configure codex-only options, etc.
without fear of Hermes overwriting their work.

167 codex-runtime tests, all green.

* docs(codex-runtime): clarify the actual tool surface — shell covers terminal/read/write/find

Previous docs and PR description undersold what codex's built-in
toolset actually provides. apply_patch alone made it sound like the
runtime could only edit files in patch format — implying you'd lose
terminal use, read_file, write_file, search/find. That was wrong.

Codex's 'shell' tool runs arbitrary shell commands inside the sandbox,
which covers everything you'd do in bash: cat/head/tail (read), echo>
or heredocs (write), find/rg/grep (search), ls/cd (navigate), build/
test/git/etc. apply_patch is for structured multi-file edits on top
of that. update_plan is its in-runtime todo. view_image loads images.
And codex has its own web_search built in (in addition to the
Firecrawl-backed one Hermes exposes via MCP callback).

Docs now have a 'What tools the model actually has' section right
after Why, breaking the surface into three clearly-labeled buckets:

  1. Codex's built-in toolset (always on) — shell, apply_patch,
     update_plan, view_image, web_search; covers everything terminal-
     adjacent.
  2. Native Codex plugins (auto-migrated from your codex plugin
     install) — Linear, GitHub, Gmail, Calendar, Outlook, Canva, etc.
  3. Hermes tool callback (MCP server in ~/.codex/config.toml) —
     web_search/web_extract via Firecrawl, browser_*, vision_analyze,
     image_generate, skill_view/skills_list, text_to_speech.

Plus a 'What's NOT available' callout listing the four agent-loop tools
(delegate_task, memory, session_search, todo) that need running
AIAgent context and can't reach the codex runtime.

Trade-offs table broken out: shell, apply_patch, update_plan,
view_image, sandbox each get their own row with a one-line description
so users can see at a glance what's available natively.

Architecture diagram updated to list the codex built-ins by name
instead of 'apply_patch + shell + sandbox'.

No code changes — purely docs clarification. 167 codex-runtime tests
still green.

* fix(codex-runtime): _spawn_background_review signature + review fork api_mode downgrade

Two real bugs in the self-improvement loop integration that the previous
test mocked away.

Bug 1: wrong call signature

The codex helper was calling self._spawn_background_review() with no
args after every turn. That function actually requires:
  messages_snapshot=list   (positional or keyword)
  review_memory=bool       (at least one trigger must be True)
  review_skills=bool

So the call would have raised TypeError at runtime — except the only
test that exercised this path mocked _spawn_background_review entirely
and just asserted spawn.called, so the wrong-arg shape never surfaced.

Bug 2: review fork inherits codex_app_server api_mode

The review fork is constructed with:
  api_mode = _parent_runtime.get('api_mode')

So when the parent is codex_app_server, the review fork ALSO runs as
codex_app_server. But the review fork's whole job is to call agent-loop
tools (memory, skill_manage) which require Hermes' own dispatch — they
short-circuit with 'must be handled by the agent loop' on the codex
runtime. So the review fork would have run, decided to save something,
called memory or skill_manage, and silently no-op'd.

Fixed in run_agent.py:_spawn_background_review() — when the parent
api_mode is 'codex_app_server', the review fork is downgraded to
'codex_responses' (same OAuth credentials, same openai-codex provider,
but talks to OpenAI's Responses API directly so Hermes owns the loop).

Also rewrote the codex helper's review wiring to match the
chat_completions path:
  - Computes _should_review_memory in the pre-loop block (was already
    being computed; now passed through to the helper as an arg).
  - Computes _should_review_skills AFTER the codex turn returns +
    counters tick (line ~15432 pattern in chat_completions).
  - Calls _spawn_background_review(messages_snapshot=, review_memory=,
    review_skills=) only when at least one trigger fires.
  - Adds the external memory provider sync (_sync_external_memory_for_turn)
    that the chat_completions path runs after every turn.

Tests:

  Replaced the broken test_background_review_invoked (which only
  asserted spawn.called) with three sharper tests:
    - test_background_review_NOT_invoked_below_threshold:
      single turn at default thresholds → no review fires (would have
      caught the original 'every turn calls spawn with no args' bug)
    - test_background_review_skill_trigger_fires_above_threshold:
      10 tool_iterations at threshold=10 → review fires with
      messages_snapshot=list, review_skills=True, counter resets
    - test_background_review_signature_never_breaks: regression guard
      asserting positional args are always empty and kwargs include
      messages_snapshot

  New TestReviewForkApiModeDowngrade class:
    - test_codex_app_server_parent_downgrades_review_fork: drives the
      real _spawn_background_review function (no mock at that level),
      asserts the review_agent gets api_mode='codex_responses' when
      the parent was codex_app_server.

Live-validated against real run_conversation:
  - Counter ticked from 0 to 5 after a 5-tool-iteration turn
  - _spawn_background_review fired exactly once with kwargs-only signature
  - review_skills=True, review_memory=False
  - messages_snapshot was 12 entries (5 assistant tool_calls + 5 tool
    results + 1 final assistant + initial system/user)
  - Counter reset to 0 after fire

170 codex-runtime tests, all green.

Docs: added a Self-improvement loop section to the codex runtime page
explaining both how the trigger logic stays equivalent and that the
review fork is auto-downgraded to codex_responses for the agent-loop
tools. Also clarified that apply_patch and update_plan ARE codex's
built-in tools (the previous version made it sound like they were
separate from 'codex's stuff' — they're not, all five tools listed
in 'What tools the model actually has' section 1 are codex built-ins).

* feat(codex-runtime): expose kanban tools through Hermes MCP callback

Kanban workers spawn as separate hermes chat -q subprocesses that read
the user's config.yaml. If model.openai_runtime: codex_app_server is set
globally (which is the whole point of opt-in), every dispatched worker
ALSO comes up on the codex runtime.

That mostly works — codex's built-in shell + apply_patch + update_plan
do the actual task work fine — but it had one critical break: the
worker handoff tools (kanban_complete, kanban_block, kanban_comment,
kanban_heartbeat) are Hermes-registered tools, not codex built-ins.
On the codex runtime, codex builds its own tool list and these never
reach the model, so the worker would do the work but not be able to
report back, hanging until the dispatcher's timeout escalates it as
zombie.

Fix: add all 9 kanban tools to the EXPOSED_TOOLS list in the Hermes
MCP callback. They dispatch statelessly through handle_function_call()
just like web_search and the others — they read HERMES_KANBAN_TASK
from env (set by the dispatcher), gate correctly (worker tools require
the env var, orchestrator tools require it unset), and write to
~/.hermes/kanban.db.

Why kanban tools work via stateless dispatch when delegate_task/memory/
session_search/todo don't: those four are listed in _AGENT_LOOP_TOOLS
(model_tools.py:493) and short-circuit in handle_function_call() with
'must be handled by the agent loop' — they need to mutate AIAgent's
mid-loop state. Kanban tools have no such requirement; they're pure
side-effect functions against the kanban.db plus state_meta.

Tools exposed:
  Worker handoff (require HERMES_KANBAN_TASK):
    kanban_complete, kanban_block, kanban_comment, kanban_heartbeat
  Read-only board queries:
    kanban_show, kanban_list
  Orchestrator (require HERMES_KANBAN_TASK unset):
    kanban_create, kanban_unblock, kanban_link

Tests:
  - test_kanban_worker_tools_exposed: complete/block/comment/heartbeat
    in EXPOSED_TOOLS (regression guard for the would-hang-worker bug)
  - test_kanban_orchestrator_tools_exposed: create/show/list/unblock/link

Docs:
  - New 'Workflow features' section in the docs page covering /goal,
    kanban, and cron behavior on this runtime
  - /goal: works fully via run_conversation feedback; only caveat is
    approval-prompt noise on long writes-heavy goals (mitigated by
    the default :workspace permission profile)
  - Kanban: enumerated which tools are reachable via the callback and
    why the env var propagates correctly through the codex subprocess
    to the MCP server subprocess
  - Cron: documented as 'not specifically tested' — same rules as the
    CLI apply since cron runs through AIAgent.run_conversation
  - Trade-offs table gained rows for /goal, kanban worker, kanban
    orchestrator

172/172 codex-runtime tests green (+2 from kanban tests).

* docs(codex-runtime): wire /codex-runtime into slash-commands ref + flag aux token cost

Three docs gaps caught during a final audit:

1. /codex-runtime was only in the feature docs page, not in the
   slash-commands reference. Added rows to both the CLI section and
   the Messaging section so users discover it where they'd look for
   slash command syntax.

2. CODEX_HOME and HERMES_KANBAN_TASK weren't in environment-variables.md.
   CODEX_HOME lets users redirect Codex CLI's config dir (the migration
   honors it). HERMES_KANBAN_TASK is set by the kanban dispatcher and
   propagates to the codex subprocess + the hermes-tools MCP subprocess
   so kanban worker tools gate correctly — documented as 'don't set
   manually' since it's an internal handoff.

3. Aux client behavior on this runtime. When openai_runtime=
   codex_app_server is on with the openai-codex provider, every aux
   task (title generation, context compression, vision auto-detect,
   session search summarization, the background self-improvement review
   fork) flows through the user's ChatGPT subscription by default.

   This is true for the existing codex_responses path too, but it's
   more visible / important here because users explicitly opted in for
   subscription billing. Added a 'Auxiliary tasks and ChatGPT
   subscription token cost' section to the docs page with a YAML
   example showing how to override specific aux tasks to a cheaper
   model (typically google/gemini-3-flash-preview via OpenRouter).

   Also documents how the self-improvement review fork gets
   auto-downgraded from codex_app_server to codex_responses by the
   fix earlier in this PR.

No code changes — pure docs. 172 codex-runtime tests still green.

* docs+test(codex-runtime): pin HOME passthrough, document multi-profile + CODEX_HOME

OpenClaw hit a real footgun in openclaw/openclaw#81562: when spawning
codex app-server they were synthesizing a per-agent HOME alongside
CODEX_HOME. That made every subprocess codex's shell tool launches
(gh, git, aws, npm, gcloud, ...) see a fake $HOME and miss the user's
real config files. They had to back it out in PR #81562 — keep
CODEX_HOME isolation, leave HOME alone.

Audit confirms Hermes' codex spawn doesn't have this problem. We do
os.environ.copy() and only overlay CODEX_HOME (when provided) and
RUST_LOG. HOME passes through unchanged. But it was an emergent
property without a test pinning it, so adding a regression guard:

  test_spawn_env_preserves_HOME — confirms parent HOME survives intact
                                  in the subprocess env
  test_spawn_env_sets_CODEX_HOME_when_provided — confirms codex_home
                                                  arg still isolates
                                                  codex state correctly

Docs additions:

  'HOME environment variable passthrough' section — calls out the
  contract explicitly: CODEX_HOME isolates codex's own state, HOME
  stays user-real so gh/git/aws/npm/etc. find their normal config.
  Cites openclaw#81562 as the cautionary tale.

  'Multi-profile / multi-tenant setups' section — addresses the
  related concern: profiles share ~/.codex/ by default. For users who
  want per-profile codex isolation (separate auth, separate plugins),
  documents the manual CODEX_HOME=<profile-scoped-dir> approach.

  Explains why we DON'T auto-scope CODEX_HOME per profile: doing so
  would silently invalidate existing codex login state for anyone
  upgrading to this PR with tokens already at ~/.codex/auth.json.
  Opt-in is safer than surprising users.

174 codex-runtime tests (+2 from HOME guards), all green.

* fix(codex-runtime): TOML control-char escapes + atomic config.toml write

Two footguns caught in a final audit pass before merge.

Bug 1: TOML control characters not escaped

The _format_toml_value() helper escaped backslashes and double quotes
but passed literal control characters (\n, \t, \r, \f, \b) through
unchanged. TOML basic strings don't allow literal control characters
— a path or env var containing a newline would produce invalid TOML
that codex refuses to load.

Realistic exposure: pathological cases like a HERMES_HOME with a
trailing newline (env var concatenation accident), or a PYTHONPATH
with a tab from a multi-line shell heredoc.

Fix: escape all five TOML basic-string control sequences (\b \t \n
\f \r) in addition to \\ and \" that we already did. Order
matters — backslash must come first or the other escapes get
re-escaped.

Bug 2: config.toml write wasn't atomic

If the python process crashed between target.mkdir() and the
write_text() finishing, a half-written config.toml could be left
behind. On NFS / Windows / some FUSE mounts this is a real concern;
on ext4/APFS small writes are usually atomic in practice but not
guaranteed.

Fix: write to a tempfile.mkstemp() temp file in the same directory,
then Path.replace() (atomic same-dir rename on POSIX, ReplaceFile on
Windows). On rename failure, clean up the temp file so repeated
failed migrations don't pile up .config.toml.* files.

Tests:
  - test_string_with_newline_escaped — \n in value → \n in output
  - test_string_with_tab_escaped — \t in value → \t in output
  - test_string_with_other_controls_escaped — \r, \f, \b
  - test_windows_path_escaped_correctly — backslash doubling
  - test_atomic_write_no_temp_leak_on_success — no .config.toml.*
    left over after a successful write
  - test_atomic_write_cleanup_on_rename_failure — temp file removed
    when Path.replace raises (simulated disk full)

180 codex-runtime tests, all green (+6 from this commit).

Footguns audited but NOT fixed (with rationale):

- Concurrent migrations race. Two Hermes processes hitting
  /codex-runtime codex_app_server within seconds of each other could
  cause one writer to lose entries. Low probability (you'd have to
  enable from two surfaces simultaneously) and low impact (just re-run
  migration). Adding fcntl/msvcrt locking is more code than it's
  worth here. The atomic rename above means each individual write is
  consistent — only the merge step is racy.

- Codex protocol version drift. We pin MIN_CODEX_VERSION=0.125 and
  check at runtime but don't reject too-new versions. Right call —
  the protocol has been stable through 0.125 → 0.130. If OpenAI
  breaks it later we'd see the error in test_codex_app_server_runtime
  on CI before users hit it.

feat(video_gen): unified video_generate tool with pluggable provider backends (#25126)
* feat(video_gen): unified video_generate tool with pluggable provider backends

One core video_generate tool, every backend a plugin. Mirrors the
image_gen + memory_provider + context_engine architecture: ABC, registry,
plugin-context registration hook, and per-plugin model catalogs surfaced
through hermes tools.

Surface (one schema, every backend):
- operation: generate / edit / extend
- modalities: text-to-video (prompt only), image-to-video (prompt +
  image_url), video edit (prompt + video_url), video extend (video_url)
- reference_image_urls, duration, aspect_ratio, resolution,
  negative_prompt, audio, seed, model override
- Providers ignore unknown kwargs and declare what they support via
  VideoGenProvider.capabilities() — backend-specific quirks stay in the
  backend, the agent learns one tool

Backends shipped:
- plugins/video_gen/xai/  — Grok-Imagine, full generate/edit/extend +
  image-to-video + reference images (salvaged from PR #10600 by
  @Jaaneek, reshaped into the plugin interface)
- plugins/video_gen/fal/  — Veo 3.1 (t2v + i2v), Kling O3 i2v,
  Pixverse v6 i2v with model-aware payload building that drops keys a
  model doesn't declare

Wiring:
- agent/video_gen_provider.py — VideoGenProvider ABC, normalize_operation,
  success_response / error_response, save_b64_video / save_bytes_video,
  $HERMES_HOME/cache/videos/
- agent/video_gen_registry.py — thread-safe register/get/list +
  get_active_provider() reading video_gen.provider from config.yaml
- hermes_cli/plugins.py — PluginContext.register_video_gen_provider()
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py — Video Generation category in
  hermes tools, plugin-only providers list, model picker per plugin,
  config write to video_gen.{provider,model}
- toolsets.py — new video_gen toolset
- tests: 31 new tests covering ABC, registry, tool dispatch, both plugins
- docs: developer-guide/video-gen-provider-plugin.md (parallel to the
  image-gen guide), sidebar + toolsets-reference + plugin guides updated

Supersedes: #25035 (FAL), #17972 (FAL), #14543 (xAI), #13847 (HappyHorse),
#10458 (provider categories), #10786 (xAI media+search bundle), #2984
(FAL duplicate), #19086 (Google Veo standalone — easy port to plugin
interface).

* feat(video_gen): dynamic schema reflects active backend's capabilities

Address the 'capability variance' question — instead of one tool with a
static schema that lies about what every backend supports, the
video_generate tool now rebuilds its description at get_definitions()
time based on the configured video_gen.provider and video_gen.model.

The agent sees backend-specific guidance up-front:
- 'fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video': 'image-to-video only — image_url is
  REQUIRED; text-only prompts will be rejected'
- 'fal-ai/veo3.1' (t2v): no image_url restriction shown
- xAI grok-imagine-video: 'operations: generate, edit, extend; up to 7
  reference_image_urls'
- Backends without edit/extend: 'not supported on this backend — surface
  that they need to switch backends via hermes tools'

This is the same pattern PR #22694 used for delegate_task self-capping —
documented in the dynamic-tool-schemas skill. Cache invalidation is
free: get_tool_definitions() already memoizes on config.yaml mtime, so a
mid-session backend swap rebuilds the schema automatically.

Tested:
- Empirical FAL OpenAPI schema check confirms image-to-video models
  require image_url (FAL returns HTTP 422 otherwise) — client-side
  rejection in FALVideoGenProvider.generate() now prevents the wasted
  round-trip
- Live E2E: fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video + prompt-only → clean
  missing_image_url error; fal-ai/veo3.1 + prompt-only → dispatches
- 6 new tests cover the builder (no config / image-only / full-surface /
  text-only / unknown provider / registry wiring), all passing
- 37/37 in the slice, 134/134 in the broader regression set

* test(video_gen/xai): full surface integration tests + cleaner schema

Verified end-to-end that the xAI plugin handles every documented mode
from PR #10600's surface: text-to-video, image-to-video,
reference-images-to-video, video edit, video extend (with and without
prompt). All five modes route to the correct xAI endpoint
(/videos/generations, /videos/edits, /videos/extensions) with the right
payload shape (image / reference_images / video keys), and all five
client-side rejections fire before the network: edit-without-prompt,
extend-without-video_url, image+refs conflict, >7 references, and
duration/aspect_ratio clamping.

15 new integration tests grouped into four classes (endpoint routing,
modalities, validation, clamping). httpx is stubbed via a small fake
AsyncClient that records POSTs so the tests assert the actual payload
the plugin would send to xAI — not just the success/error envelope.

Also cleaned up a description redundancy: when a model's operations
match the backend's overall set, we no longer print the duplicate
'operations supported by this model' line. xAI's description now reads:

    Active backend: xAI . model: grok-imagine-video
    - operations supported by this backend: edit, extend, generate
    - modalities supported by this backend: image, reference_images, text
    - aspect_ratio choices: 16:9, 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 9:16
    - resolution choices: 480p, 720p
    - duration range: 1-15s
    - reference_image_urls: up to 7 images

* feat(video_gen): collapse surface to t2v + i2v, family-based auto-routing

Two design changes per Teknium:

1) Drop edit/extend from the tool surface entirely. Only text-to-video
and image-to-video remain. The agent sees a clean tool with two
modalities; backend-specific quirks like xAI's edit/extend endpoints
stay out of the unified schema.

2) FAL: pick a model FAMILY once, the plugin routes between the
family's text-to-video and image-to-video endpoints based on whether
image_url was passed. Users no longer pick 'fal-ai/veo3.1' AND
'fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video' as separate options — they pick
'veo3.1', and the plugin handles the rest.

Catalog rewritten as families:

    veo3.1            fal-ai/veo3.1                                /  fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video
    pixverse-v6       fal-ai/pixverse/v6/text-to-video             /  fal-ai/pixverse/v6/image-to-video
    kling-o3-standard fal-ai/kling-video/o3/standard/text-to-video /  fal-ai/kling-video/o3/standard/image-to-video

xAI uses a single endpoint (/videos/generations) for both modes,
routed by the presence of the 'image' field in the payload — no
edit/extend exposure.

Schema changes:
- VIDEO_GENERATE_SCHEMA: drop operation, drop video_url. Final params:
  prompt (required), image_url, reference_image_urls, duration,
  aspect_ratio, resolution, negative_prompt, audio, seed, model.
- VideoGenProvider ABC: drop normalize_operation, VALID_OPERATIONS,
  DEFAULT_OPERATION. capabilities() drops 'operations' key.
- success_response: add 'modality' field ('text' | 'image') so the
  agent and logs can see which endpoint was actually hit.

Dynamic schema builder simplified — no operations bullet, no
'switch backends if you need edit/extend' guidance. When the active
backend supports both modalities (the common case), description reads:

    Active backend: FAL . model: pixverse-v6
    - supports both text-to-video (omit image_url) and image-to-video
      (pass image_url) - routes automatically
    - aspect_ratio choices: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1
    - resolution choices: 360p, 540p, 720p, 1080p
    - duration range: 1-15s
    - audio: pass audio=true to enable native audio (pricing tier)
    - negative_prompt: supported

Tests: 51 in the video_gen slice, 216 across the broader image+video
sweep, all passing. New FAL routing tests prove pixverse-v6 + no image
hits text-to-video endpoint, pixverse-v6 + image_url hits
image-to-video endpoint, same for veo3.1 and kling-o3-standard.

Docs updated: developer-guide page rewrites the 'model families' pattern
as a first-class section so external plugin authors know the convention.
toolsets-reference and toolsets.py descriptions match the new surface.

* feat(video_gen/fal): expand catalog to 6 families, cheap + premium tiers

Catalog now covers everything Teknium specced from FAL:

  Cheap tier:
    ltx-2.3        fal-ai/ltx-2.3-22b/text-to-video       / image-to-video
    pixverse-v6    fal-ai/pixverse/v6/text-to-video       / image-to-video

  Premium tier:
    veo3.1         fal-ai/veo3.1                          / fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video
    seedance-2.0   bytedance/seedance-2.0/text-to-video   / image-to-video
    kling-v3-4k    fal-ai/kling-video/v3/4k/text-to-video / image-to-video
    happy-horse    fal-ai/happy-horse/text-to-video       / image-to-video

DEFAULT_MODEL moved from veo3.1 (premium) to pixverse-v6 (cheap, sane
defaults, both modalities) — better first-run UX for users who haven't
explicitly picked a model.

New family-entry knob: image_param_key. Kling v3 4K's image-to-video
endpoint expects start_image_url instead of image_url; declaring
image_param_key='start_image_url' on the family lets _build_payload
remap correctly. Other families default to plain image_url.

Per-family capability flags reflect each model's docs:
- LTX 2.3 + Happy Horse: minimal payloads (no duration/aspect/resolution
  enum exposed by FAL — let endpoint apply defaults)
- Seedance: 6 aspect ratios incl 21:9, durations 4-15, audio supported,
  negative prompts NOT supported per docs
- Kling v3 4K: 16:9/9:16/1:1, 3-15s, audio + negative
- Veo 3.1: unchanged, 16:9/9:16, 4/6/8s

Tests: +5 covering the new families (full catalog, Kling 4K
start_image_url remap, Seedance routing, LTX payload minimality, Happy
Horse minimality). 56/56 in the slice green.

Note: I did NOT add the FAL-hosted xAI Grok-Imagine variant. Hermes
already has a direct xAI plugin that talks to xAI's own API; routing
the same model through FAL's wrapper would duplicate the surface
without adding capabilities. Users on FAL who want Grok-Imagine should
use the xAI plugin directly; flag if you want both routes available.

* test(video_gen): tool-surface routing matrix — every model x modality

End-to-end matrix test driven through _handle_video_generate() — the
actual function the agent's video_generate tool call lands in. Writes
config.yaml, invokes the registered handler with a raw args dict, then
asserts the outbound HTTP/SDK call hit the right endpoint with the right
payload shape.

Parametrized over FAL_FAMILIES.keys() so the matrix auto-discovers new
families as they're added (add a family to FAL_FAMILIES and you get
both modalities tested for free).

Coverage:
- All 6 FAL families x {text-only, text+image} = 12 cases
- xAI x {text-only, text+image} = 2 cases
- tool-level model= arg overrides config = 2 cases

For each case, verifies:
- result['success'] is True
- result['modality'] matches input shape ('text' if no image_url, 'image' otherwise)
- outbound endpoint URL matches the family's text_endpoint or image_endpoint
- text-only payloads carry no image-shaped keys
- text+image payloads carry the family's image key (image_url for most,
  start_image_url for kling-v3-4k, wrapped 'image' object for xAI)

All 16 cases passing. Confirms the tool surface routes every
(provider, model, modality) combination correctly with zero leakage.

* feat(video_gen): keep video_gen out of first-run setup, surface in status

Two changes:

1. video_gen joins _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS, so it is NOT pre-selected in
   the first-run toolset checklist. Video gen is niche, paid, and slow —
   most users don't want it nagging them during initial setup. Anyone
   who wants it opts in via 'hermes tools' -> Video Generation, which
   already routes to the provider+model picker.

2. The 'hermes setup' status panel learns about video_gen — but only
   shows the row when a plugin reports available. Users without
   FAL_KEY/XAI_API_KEY see nothing about video gen; users with one of
   those keys see 'Video Generation (FAL) ✓' as confirmation it's wired.

Verified live:
- Fresh install (no creds): zero video_gen mentions in wizard.
- With FAL_KEY: status row appears with active backend name.
- 160/160 in the setup + tools_config + video_gen test slice.

Rationale: image_gen is on by default because it's a featured creative
tool used in casual chat (telegrams, etc). Video gen is heavier — long
wait, paid per-second pricing. Default-off matches user intent better.

fix(setup): drop post-setup chat handoff (#25067)
Removes the 'Launch hermes chat now? (Y/n)' prompt at the end of
hermes setup. The summary already prints 'Ready to go! → hermes'
so the auto-launch was redundant, and on macOS 26+ it could crash
in prompt_toolkit when setup was invoked from the curl install
script with stdin redirected from /dev/tty (#5884, #6128).

After setup, users run 'hermes' themselves like every other CLI
tool. Same pattern applies to the Windows installer.

Closes #6128 (narrower env-var-guarded fix superseded by removing
the prompt outright).

6f2d1c88b7 feat(custom): prompt and persist explicit api_mode for custom providers
Adds an explicit API compatibility mode prompt to the `hermes model -> custom`
flow so Codex-compatible third-party endpoints (and any other non-default
backend whose URL doesn't match the existing heuristics in
`_detect_api_mode_for_url`) can be selected explicitly instead of silently
falling back to chat_completions.

Choices: Auto-detect / chat_completions / codex_responses / anthropic_messages.

Persists `api_mode` to:
  - `model.api_mode` (active session config)
  - the matching `custom_providers[*]` entry (so re-activating the named
    provider next time replays the same transport)

Salvaged from PR #6125 onto current main: kept the new prompt and the
`_save_custom_provider(api_mode=...)` plumbing; the named-custom flow
already extracts and applies `api_mode` from the saved entry on current
main so those changes are preserved as-is. Test fixtures updated for the
new prompt and the existing display-name prompt.

a43d7e67b4 refactor(profiles): remove dead generate_bash_completion / generate_zsh_completion
These two functions in hermes_cli/profiles.py have no callers — the live
`hermes completion {bash,zsh}` command uses hermes_cli/completion.py's
generate_bash() / generate_zsh() instead. Multiple PRs (incl. #6141) tried
to fix the trailing-`_hermes "$@"` zsh bug here, only to discover the
patch never reached users. Delete the dead code so future contributors
patch the right file.

71c6dd0dcf fix(cli): add 'lsp' to _BUILTIN_SUBCOMMANDS so plugin discovery is skipped
`lsp` is registered as a top-level subparser in `main()` (lines 9539-9545)
via `agent.lsp.cli.register_subparser`, so it shows up in `hermes --help`
output alongside the other built-ins. The `_BUILTIN_SUBCOMMANDS` set used
by `_plugin_cli_discovery_needed` to short-circuit the ~500-650ms plugin
import pass did not list it, so every `hermes lsp ...` invocation paid
the full discovery cost despite being a fully-built-in command.

This is also caught by the parity guard added in #22120:
`tests/hermes_cli/test_startup_plugin_gating.py::test_builtin_set_covers_every_registered_subcommand`
has been failing on clean origin/main with:

    AssertionError: _BUILTIN_SUBCOMMANDS is missing these live
    subcommands: ['lsp']. Add them to hermes_cli/main.py::_BUILTIN_SUBCOMMANDS
    so plugin discovery can be skipped when the user targets them.

Fix: add `"lsp"` to the frozenset (alphabetical position between `logs`
and `mcp`). The accompanying `test_builtin_set_has_no_phantom_entries`
guard still passes because `lsp` is genuinely live — registered via the
guarded `try/except Exception` in main() since #24168.

feat(nous): unified client=hermes-client-v<version> tag on every Portal request (#24779)
* feat(nous): unified client=hermes-client-v<version> tag on every Portal request

Every Hermes request to Nous Portal now carries the same
client=hermes-client-v<__version__> tag (e.g. client=hermes-client-v0.13.0
on this release), sourced live from hermes_cli.__version__. The release
script's regex bump auto-aligns it on every release.

Centralized in agent/portal_tags.py and wired into all four call sites:
- NousProfile.build_extra_body (main agent loop, every chat completion)
- auxiliary_client.NOUS_EXTRA_BODY + _build_call_kwargs (aux client)
- run_agent.py compression-summary fallback path
- tools/web_tools.py web_extract fallback

Replaces the client=aux marker added in #24194 with the unified version
tag. Tests assert against the helper output (invariant) rather than the
literal string, so they don't need updating on every release.

* feat(nous): cover /goal judge and kanban specify aux paths

Two aux-using surfaces bypassed call_llm by invoking
client.chat.completions.create() directly without extra_body, so they
were missing the unified Portal client tag:

- hermes_cli/goals.py — /goal standing-goal judge
- hermes_cli/kanban_specify.py — kanban triage specifier

Both now pass extra_body=get_auxiliary_extra_body() or None so they
inherit the version tag when the aux client points at Nous Portal, and
emit nothing otherwise (no tag leak to OpenRouter/Anthropic auxes).

fix(cache): kill long-lived prefix layout — system prompt is now byte-static within a session (#24778)
The long-lived prefix-cache layout split the system prompt into stable/
context/volatile blocks and re-derived them on every API call. The
volatile tier (timestamp + memory snapshot + USER profile) ticks per
turn, so the system message bytes mutated mid-conversation and broke
upstream prompt caches (OpenRouter, Nous Portal, Anthropic).

Diagnosed via live wire-format diffing: an 8-turn conversation showed
OLD layout flipping system block[1] sha mid-session at the minute
boundary, dropping cached_tokens to 0 on that turn (cumulative
66.6% vs 83.3% for the single-block layout). Hermes invariant:
history (system + all but the last 1-2 messages) must be static.

Fix: drop the long-lived layout entirely. Single layout everywhere —
system_and_3 with one cached system string built once on first turn,
replayed verbatim on every subsequent turn. Loses cross-session 1h
prefix caching for Claude (the feature that motivated the split), but
within-session caching now actually works on every provider.

Removed:
- run_agent.py: _use_long_lived_prefix_cache flag, _long_lived_cache_ttl,
  _supports_long_lived_anthropic_cache method, the long-lived branch in
  run_conversation, mark_tools_for_long_lived_cache call site
- agent/prompt_caching.py: apply_anthropic_cache_control_long_lived,
  mark_tools_for_long_lived_cache, _mark_system_stable_block helper

a33ec10874 fix(cli): @-file completion crash on Windows when paths aren't cp1252-decodable
The fuzzy @-file completer shells out to 'rg --files' via subprocess.run
with text=True. On Windows, Python 3.13 decodes stdout using the system
ANSI codepage (cp1252), so any filename containing bytes like 0x81/0x8f
crashes the background reader thread with UnicodeDecodeError. The
exception is swallowed inside subprocess, leaving proc.stdout=None, and
the next line ('proc.stdout.strip()') blows up with:

  AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'strip'

This takes down the prompt_toolkit event loop and forces 'Press ENTER to
continue' until the user clears the @-query.

Fix:
- Pass encoding='utf-8', errors='replace' so rg's UTF-8 output is decoded
  consistently across platforms and unmappable bytes don't crash.
- Guard 'proc.stdout' with a None check before .strip(), so a future
  reader-thread failure degrades gracefully instead of breaking input.

e3858772d0 fix(dashboard): skip browser-open on headless Linux to prevent process exit
Fixes #24127

On headless Linux VPS (no DISPLAY or WAYLAND_DISPLAY), some Python
webbrowser backends register TUI programs such as links, lynx, or
www-browser.  GenericBrowser.open() spawns these without redirecting
stdin/stdout, allowing them to take over the terminal.  This can cause
the process to receive SIGHUP and exit immediately even though uvicorn
bound the port successfully, producing a misleading success message
followed by an empty --status.

Fix: detect headless Linux at startup and skip the auto-open when no
display server is available.  On such systems the URL is still printed
so the user can open it manually or via an SSH tunnel.  The webbrowser
call is also wrapped in a try/except so any unexpected failure on other
platforms is silently absorbed rather than surfacing as an unhandled
exception in the daemon thread.

Built-in commands with required args (e.g. /queue, /steer, /background)

text when invoked without arguments, so hiding them hurts discoverability.

feat(gateway): wire clarify tool with inline keyboard buttons on Telegram (#24199)
The clarify tool returned 'not available in this execution context' for
every gateway-mode agent because gateway/run.py never passed
clarify_callback into the AIAgent constructor. Schema actively encouraged
calling it; users never saw the question.

Changes:

- tools/clarify_gateway.py — new event-based primitive mirroring
  tools/approval.py: register/wait_for_response/resolve_gateway_clarify
  with per-session FIFO, threading.Event blocking with 1s heartbeat
  slices (so the inactivity watchdog keeps ticking), and
  clear_session for boundary cleanup.

- gateway/platforms/base.py — abstract send_clarify with a numbered-text
  fallback so every adapter (Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix,
  etc.) gets a working clarify out of the box. Plus an active-session
  bypass: when the agent is blocked on a text-awaiting clarify, the next
  non-command message routes inline to the runner's intercept instead
  of being queued + triggering an interrupt. Same shape as the /approve
  deadlock fix from PR #4926.

- gateway/platforms/telegram.py — concrete send_clarify renders one
  inline button per choice plus '✏️ Other (type answer)'. cl: callback
  handler resolves numeric choices immediately, flips to text-capture
  mode for Other, with the same authorization guards as exec/slash
  approvals.

- gateway/run.py — clarify_callback wired at the cached-agent per-turn
  callback assignment site (only the user-facing agent path; cron and
  hygiene-compress agents have no human attached). Bridges sync→async
  via run_coroutine_threadsafe, blocks with the configured timeout, and
  returns a '[user did not respond within Xm]' sentinel on timeout so
  the agent adapts rather than pinning the running-agent guard. Text-
  intercept added to _handle_message before slash-confirm intercept
  (skipping slash commands). clear_session called in the run's finally
  to cancel any orphan entries.

- hermes_cli/config.py — agent.clarify_timeout default 600s.

- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/telegram.md — Interactive Prompts
  section.

Tests:

- tests/tools/test_clarify_gateway.py (14 tests) — full primitive
  coverage: button resolve, open-ended auto-await, Other flip, timeout
  None, unknown-id idempotency, clear_session cancellation, FIFO
  ordering, register/unregister notify, config default.

- tests/gateway/test_telegram_clarify_buttons.py (12 tests) — render
  paths (multi-choice/open-ended/long-label/HTML-escape/not-connected),
  callback dispatch (numeric resolve/Other flip/already-resolved/
  unauthorized/invalid-token), and base-adapter text fallback.

Out of scope: bot-to-bot, guest mode, checklists, poll media, live
photos. Closes #24191.

feat(lsp): semantic diagnostics from real language servers in write_file/patch (#24168)
* feat(lsp): semantic diagnostics from real language servers in write_file/patch

Wire ~26 language servers (pyright, gopls, rust-analyzer, typescript-language-server,
clangd, bash-language-server, ...) into the post-write lint check used by write_file
and patch. The model now sees type errors, undefined names, missing imports, and
project-wide semantic issues introduced by its edits, not just syntax errors.

LSP is gated on git workspace detection: when the agent's cwd or the file being
edited is inside a git worktree, LSP runs against that workspace; otherwise the
existing in-process syntax checks are the only tier. This keeps users on
user-home cwds (Telegram/Discord gateway chats) from spawning daemons.

The post-write check is layered: in-process syntax check first (microseconds),
then LSP semantic diagnostics second when syntax is clean. Diagnostics are
delta-filtered against a baseline captured at write start, so the agent only
sees errors its edit introduced. A flaky/missing language server can never
break a write -- every LSP failure path falls back silently to the syntax-only
result.

New module agent/lsp/ split into:

- protocol.py: Content-Length JSON-RPC framer + envelope helpers
- client.py: async LSPClient (spawn, initialize, didOpen/didChange,
  ContentModified retry, push/pull diagnostic stores)
- workspace.py: git worktree walk-up + per-server NearestRoot resolver
- servers.py: registry of 26 language servers (extension match,
  root resolver, spawn builder per language)
- install.py: auto-install dispatch (npm install --prefix, go install
  with GOBIN, pip install --target) into HERMES_HOME/lsp/bin/
- manager.py: LSPService (per-(server_id, root) client registry, lazy
  spawn, broken-set, in-flight dedupe, sync facade for tools layer)
- reporter.py: <diagnostics> block formatter (severity-1-only, 20-per-file)
- cli.py: hermes lsp {status,list,install,install-all,restart,which}

Wired into tools/file_operations.py:

- write_file/patch_replace now call _snapshot_lsp_baseline before write
- _check_lint_delta gains a third tier: LSP semantic diagnostics when
  syntax is clean
- All LSP code paths swallow exceptions; write_file's contract unchanged

Config: 'lsp' section in DEFAULT_CONFIG with enabled (default true),
wait_mode, wait_timeout, install_strategy (default 'auto'), and per-server
overrides (disabled, command, env, initialization_options).

Tests: tests/agent/lsp/ -- 49 tests covering protocol framing (encode and
read_message round-trip, EOF/truncation/missing Content-Length), workspace
gate (git walk-up, exclude markers, fallback to file location), reporter
(severity filter, max-per-file cap, truncation), service-level delta filter,
and an in-process mock LSP server that exercises the full client lifecycle
including didChange version bumps, dedup, crash recovery, and idempotent
teardown.

Live E2E verified end-to-end through ShellFileOperations: pyright
auto-installed via npm into HERMES_HOME, baseline captured, type error
introduced, single delta diagnostic surfaced with correct line/column/code/
source, then patch fix removes the diagnostic from the output.

* feat(lsp): structured logging, backend gate, defensive walk caps

Cherry-picks the substantive ideas from #24155 (different scope, same
problem space) onto our PR.

agent/lsp/eventlog.py (new): dedicated structured logger
``hermes.lint.lsp`` with steady-state silence. Module-level dedup sets
keep a 1000-write session at exactly ONE INFO line ("active for
<root>") at the default INFO threshold; clean writes log at DEBUG so
they never reach agent.log under normal config. State transitions
(server starts, no project root for a file, server unavailable) fire
at INFO/WARNING once per (server_id, key); novel events (timeouts,
unexpected errors) fire WARNING per call. Grep recipe: ``rg 'lsp\\['``.

agent/lsp/manager.py: wire the eventlog into _get_or_spawn and
get_diagnostics_sync so users can answer "did LSP fire on this edit?"
with a single grep, plus surface "binary not on PATH" warnings once
instead of silently retrying every write.

tools/file_operations.py: backend-type gate. ``_lsp_local_only()``
returns False for non-local backends (Docker / Modal / SSH /
Daytona); ``_snapshot_lsp_baseline`` and ``_maybe_lsp_diagnostics``
now skip entirely on remote envs. The host-side language server
can't see files inside a sandbox, so this prevents pretending to
lint a file the host process can't open.

agent/lsp/protocol.py: 8 KiB cap on the header block in
``read_message``. A pathological server that streams headers
without ever emitting CRLF-CRLF would have looped forever consuming
bytes; now raises ``LSPProtocolError`` instead.

agent/lsp/workspace.py: 64-step cap on ``find_git_worktree`` and
``nearest_root`` upward walks, plus try/except containment around
``Path(...).resolve()`` and child ``.exists()`` calls. Defensive
against pathological inputs (symlink loops, encoding errors,
permission failures mid-walk) — the lint hook is hot-path code and
must never raise.

Tests:
- tests/agent/lsp/test_eventlog.py: 18 tests covering steady-state
  silence (clean writes stay DEBUG), state-transition INFO-once
  semantics (active for, no project root), action-required
  WARNING-once (server unavailable), per-call WARNING (timeouts,
  spawn failures), and the "1000 clean writes => 1 INFO" contract.
- tests/agent/lsp/test_backend_gate.py: 5 tests verifying
  _lsp_local_only / snapshot_baseline / maybe_lsp_diagnostics skip
  the LSP layer for non-local backends and route correctly for
  LocalEnvironment.
- tests/agent/lsp/test_protocol.py: new test_read_message_rejects_runaway_header
  exercising the 8 KiB cap.

Validation:
- 73/73 LSP tests pass (49 original + 18 eventlog + 5 backend-gate + 1 framer cap)
- 198/198 pass when run alongside existing file_operations tests
- Live E2E re-run with pyright still surfaces "ERROR [2:12] Type
  ... reportReturnType (Pyright)" through the full path, then patch
  fix removes it on the next call.

* feat(lsp): atexit cleanup + separate lsp_diagnostics JSON field

Two improvements salvaged from #24414's plugin-form alternative,
keeping our core-integrated design:

1. atexit cleanup of spawned language servers
   ----------------------------------------------------------------
   ``agent/lsp/__init__.get_service`` now registers an ``atexit``
   handler on first creation that tears down the LSPService on
   Python exit.  Without this, every ``hermes chat`` exit was
   leaking pyright/gopls/etc. processes for a few seconds while
   their stdout buffers drained -- they got reaped by the kernel
   eventually but a watchful ``ps aux`` would catch them.

   The handler runs once per process (gated by
   ``_atexit_registered``); idempotent ``shutdown_service``
   ensures double-fire is a no-op.  Errors during shutdown are
   swallowed at debug level since by the time atexit fires the
   user has already seen the agent's final response.

2. Separate ``lsp_diagnostics`` field on WriteResult / PatchResult
   ----------------------------------------------------------------
   Previously the LSP layer folded its diagnostic block into the
   ``lint.output`` string, conflating the syntax-check tier with
   the semantic tier.  The agent (and any downstream parsers) now
   read syntax errors and semantic errors as independent signals:

       {
         "bytes_written": 42,
         "lint": {"status": "ok", "output": ""},
         "lsp_diagnostics": "<diagnostics file=...>\nERROR [2:12] ..."
       }

   ``_check_lint_delta`` returns to its original two-tier shape
   (syntax check + delta filter); ``write_file`` and
   ``patch_replace`` independently fetch LSP diagnostics via
   ``_maybe_lsp_diagnostics`` and pass them into the new field.
   ``patch_replace`` propagates the inner write_file's
   ``lsp_diagnostics`` so the outer PatchResult carries the patch's
   delta correctly.

Tests: 19 new
- tests/agent/lsp/test_lifecycle.py (8 tests): atexit registration
  fires once and only once across N get_service calls; the
  registered callable is our internal shutdown wrapper;
  shutdown_service is idempotent and safe when never started;
  exceptions during shutdown are swallowed; inactive service is
  cached so we don't rebuild on every check.
- tests/agent/lsp/test_diagnostics_field.py (11 tests): WriteResult
  / PatchResult dataclass shape, to_dict include/omit semantics,
  channel separation (lint and lsp_diagnostics carry independent
  signals), write_file populates the field via
  _maybe_lsp_diagnostics only when the syntax tier is clean,
  patch_replace propagates the field forward from its internal
  write_file.

Validation:
- 92/92 LSP tests pass (73 prior + 8 lifecycle + 11 diagnostics field)
- 217/217 pass with file_operations + LSP combined
- Live E2E reverified: clean writes -> both fields empty/none; type
  error introduced -> lint clean (parses), lsp_diagnostics carries
  the pyright reportReturnType block; patch fix -> both fields
  clean again.

* fix(lsp): broken-set short-circuit so a wedged server isn't paid every write

Discovered while auditing failure paths: a language server binary that
hangs (sleep forever, no LSP traffic on stdin/stdout) caused EVERY
subsequent write to re-pay the 8s snapshot_baseline timeout. Five
writes = ~64s of dead time.

The bug: ``_get_or_spawn`` adds the (server_id, root) pair to
``_broken`` inside its inner exception handler, but when the OUTER
``_loop.run`` timeout fires, it cancels the inner task before that
handler runs. The pair never makes it to broken-set, so the next
write re-enters the spawn path and re-pays the timeout.

Fix:

- New ``_mark_broken_for_file`` helper at the service layer marks
  the (server_id, workspace_root) pair broken from the OUTSIDE when
  the outer timeout fires. Called from the except branches in
  ``snapshot_baseline``, ``get_diagnostics_sync`` (asyncio.TimeoutError
  + generic Exception). Also kills any orphan client process that
  survived the cancelled future, fire-and-forget with a 1s ceiling.

- ``enabled_for`` now consults the broken-set BEFORE returning True.
  Files in already-broken (server_id, root) pairs short-circuit to
  False, so the file_operations layer skips the LSP path entirely
  with no spawn cost. Until the service is restarted (``hermes lsp
  restart``) or the process exits.

- A single eventlog WARNING is emitted on first mark-broken so the
  user knows which server gave up. Subsequent edits in the same
  project stay silent.

Tests: 7 new in tests/agent/lsp/test_broken_set.py — covers the
key shape (server_id, per_server_root), enabled_for short-circuit,
sibling-file skip in same project, project isolation (broken in
A doesn't affect B), graceful no-op for missing-server / no-workspace,
and an end-to-end test that snapshots after a failure and verifies
the next ``enabled_for`` returns False.

Validation:

- Live retest of the wedged-binary scenario: 5 sequential writes,
  first 8.88s (the one snapshot timeout), subsequent four ~0.84s
  (no LSP cost). Down from 5x12.85s = 64s before this fix.
- 99/99 LSP tests pass (92 prior + 7 broken-set)
- 224/224 pass with file_operations + LSP combined
- Happy path E2E reverified — clean write, type error introduced,
  patch fix all behave correctly with the new broken-set logic.

Note: the FIRST write to a wedged binary still pays 8s (the
snapshot_baseline timeout). We could shorten that, but pyright/
tsserver normally take 2-3s and slow CI rust-analyzer can need
5+ seconds, so 8s is the conservative ceiling. Subsequent writes
are instant.

fix(install): use --extra all not --all-extras; drop lazy-covered extras from [all] (#24515)
* fix(install): use `--extra all` not `--all-extras`; drop lazy-covered extras from [all]

Two coupled fixes for the Windows install hang where uv sync built
python-olm from sdist and failed on missing make.

# Root cause: --all-extras vs --extra all (credit: ethernet)

`uv sync --all-extras` installs every key in [project.optional-
dependencies], bypassing the curated [all] extra entirely. So even
when [all] excluded [matrix], [rl], [yc-bench], etc., the installer
pulled them anyway because they were still defined as extras. On
Windows that meant python-olm (no wheel, needs make to build from
sdist) and the install died there.

The right flag is `--extra all` — install just the [all] extra's
contents, respecting curation. Empirically verified via dry-run:

  --all-extras: pulls python-olm, mautrix, ctranslate2, onnxruntime,
                atroposlib, tinker, wandb, modal, daytona, vercel,
                python-telegram-bot, discord.py, slack-bolt,
                dingtalk-stream, lark-oapi, anthropic, boto3,
                edge-tts, elevenlabs, exa-py, fal-client, faster-
                whisper, firecrawl-py, honcho-ai, parallel-web
  --extra all:  pulls none of those — just [all]'s curated set

Dockerfile already uses `--extra all` (with comment explaining the
gotcha) — knowledge existed; the gap was install.sh / install.ps1 /
setup-hermes.sh.

Sites fixed: scripts/install.sh L1118, scripts/install.ps1 L809,
setup-hermes.sh L245.

# Companion fix: drop lazy-covered extras from [all]

`tools/lazy_deps.py` already covers anthropic, bedrock, exa,
firecrawl, parallel-web, fal, edge-tts, elevenlabs, modal, daytona,
vercel, all messaging platforms (telegram/discord/slack/matrix/
dingtalk/feishu), honcho, and faster-whisper. They were ALSO in
[all], which defeats the whole point of lazy-install — fresh
installs eager-pulled them and inherited whatever was broken
upstream (the matrix → python-olm → no Windows wheel chain being
the proximate symptom).

[all] now contains only what genuinely can't be lazy-installed:
cron, cli, dev, pty, mcp, homeassistant, sms, acp, google, web,
youtube. Same trim applied to [termux-all]. New regression test
asserts the contract: every extra in LAZY_DEPS must NOT also appear
in [all].

# Companion fix: surface uv progress + errors

setup-hermes.sh's hash-verified path swallowed uv's stderr to a
tempfile, identical to the install.sh bug fixed in PR #24504. Same
fix applied: stream stderr through directly so users see live
progress instead of staring at a frozen prompt.

# Files

- pyproject.toml: trim [all] and [termux-all] to non-lazy extras only.
- scripts/install.sh: --all-extras → --extra all; trim _ALL_EXTRAS /
  _PYPI_EXTRAS to match.
- scripts/install.ps1: --all-extras → --extra all; trim $allExtras /
  $pypiExtras to match.
- setup-hermes.sh: --all-extras → --extra all; stream stderr.
- tests/test_project_metadata.py: invert matrix-in-[all] assertion;
  add lazy-coverage contract test.
- uv.lock: regenerated.

# Validation

5/5 metadata tests pass. 37/37 in update_autostash + tool_token_
estimation. `uv lock --check` passes. Empirical dry-run confirms
`--extra all` excludes python-olm + RL chain on the new lockfile.

* fix(install): parse [all] from pyproject.toml instead of mirroring it

ethernet's review point: the previous patch left two hand-mirrored
copies of [all]'s contents (in install.sh's $_ALL_EXTRAS and
install.ps1's $allExtras). That guarantees future drift the next
time pyproject.toml's [all] changes.

Now both scripts parse pyproject.toml at install time using stdlib
tomllib (Python 3.11+, which the bootstrap step already requires).
Single source of truth. The only purpose of the parsed list is to
build the 'Tier 2: [all] minus broken extras' fallback spec — so we
parse, filter against $brokenExtras, and rebuild the .[a,b,c] spec.

Also: removed redundant fallback tiers.

  Before:   Tier 1 [all]
            Tier 2 [all] minus broken
            Tier 3 PyPI-only extras (no git deps)
            Tier 4 [web,mcp,cron,cli,messaging,dev]
            Tier 5 .

  After:    Tier 1 [all]
            Tier 2 [all] minus broken
            Tier 3 .

Tier 3 (PyPI-only) and Tier 4 (dashboard+core) used to dodge the [rl]
git+sdist deps and the [matrix] python-olm build. Both are no longer
in [all] post-2026-05-12 lazy-install migration, so the carve-out
tiers had no remaining content. Tier 4 also referenced [messaging],
which is now lazy-installed — the hardcoded fallback was actually
inconsistent with the new policy.

Defensive fallback: if tomllib parse fails (corrupted pyproject,
unexpected schema), Tier 2 collapses to '.[all]' (same as Tier 1) so
the broken-extras path becomes a no-op rather than crashing.

* fix(gateway): hide Matrix from setup picker on Windows

Matrix is the one messaging platform that has no working install path
on Windows: [matrix] -> mautrix[encryption] -> python-olm, which has
Linux-only wheels and needs make + libolm to build from sdist. The
[all] cleanup in this PR keeps mautrix out of fresh installs, but a
user who picked Matrix in 'hermes setup gateway' would still walk
into the same sdist build failure when the wizard tried to install
the extra.

Hide the option at the picker so users never get the chance to try.
The gate lives in _all_platforms() — single source of truth for the
setup wizard, the curses gateway-config menu, and any future picker.

Adapter loading at runtime is intentionally NOT gated: users who
already have MATRIX_* env vars set (e.g. config copied from a Linux
install) keep working if they somehow have python-olm available.
This is the lowest-friction fix — picker visibility only.

Tests cover linux/darwin/win32 and verify other platforms aren't
collateral damage.

feat(agent): per-turn file-mutation verifier footer (#24498)
Detect when write_file / patch calls fail during a turn and are never
superseded by a successful write to the same path.  When the final
text response is delivered, append an advisory footer listing the
files that did NOT change — so models that over-claim 'patched 5 files'
after 4 silent failures can't hide the lie.

Catches the failure mode reported in Ben Eng's llm-wiki session:
grok-4.1-fast issued batches of parallel patches, half failed with
'Could not find old_string', and the agent summarised the turn
claiming every file was edited.  The user had to manually run
'git status' each turn to catch it.

The verifier is a pure post-hoc check on tool results — no new LLM
calls, no synthetic messages injected into history (prompt cache
preserved), no changes to tool argument dispatch.  Per-turn state is
keyed by path; a later successful write to the same path clears the
failure entry so single-file retry recovery is not flagged.

Wired into both _execute_tool_calls_concurrent and
_execute_tool_calls_sequential, so batched parallel patches and one-at-
a-time edits are both covered.  Footer emission happens after the
agent loop exits, before transform_llm_output / post_llm_call plugin
hooks run, so plugins still see (and can modify) the augmented text.

Config: display.file_mutation_verifier (bool, default true) +
HERMES_FILE_MUTATION_VERIFIER env override.

31 unit tests in tests/run_agent/test_file_mutation_verifier.py cover
target extraction (write_file, patch-replace, patch-v4a single and
multi-file), error-preview extraction (JSON .error field and plain
string), per-turn state transitions (first-error-wins on repeated
failure, success supersedes failure), footer rendering (truncation
at 10 entries, user-actionable hint), and env/config precedence.

Companion docs updated: user-guide/configuration.md +
reference/environment-variables.md.

feat(security): supply-chain advisory checker + lazy-install framework + tiered install fallback (#24220)
* feat(security): supply-chain advisory checker + lazy-install framework + tiered install fallback

Three coordinated mitigations for the Mini Shai-Hulud worm hitting
mistralai 2.4.6 on PyPI (2026-05-12) and for the next single-package
compromise that follows.

# What this PR makes true

1. Users with the poisoned mistralai 2.4.6 in their venv get a loud
   detection banner with copy-pasteable remediation steps the moment
   they run hermes (and on every gateway startup).
2. One quarantined / yanked PyPI package can no longer silently demote
   a fresh install to 'core only' — the installer keeps every other
   extra and tells the user which tier landed.
3. Future opt-in backends (Mistral, ElevenLabs, Honcho, etc.) can
   lazy-install on first use under a strict allowlist, instead of
   eagerly pulling everything at install time.

# Detection: hermes_cli/security_advisories.py

- ADVISORIES catalog (one entry currently: shai-hulud-2026-05 for
  mistralai==2.4.6). Adding the next one is a single dataclass.
- detect_compromised() uses importlib.metadata.version() — no pip
  dependency, works in uv venvs that lack pip.
- Banner cache (~/.hermes/cache/advisory_banner_seen) rate-limits
  the startup banner to once per 24h per advisory.
- Acks persisted to security.acked_advisories in config.yaml; never
  re-banner after ack.
- Wired into:
  * hermes doctor — runs first, prints full remediation block
  * hermes doctor --ack <id> — dismisses an advisory
  * cli.py interactive run() and single-query branches — short
    stderr banner pointing at hermes doctor
  * gateway/run.py startup — operator-visible warning in gateway.log

# Lazy-install framework: tools/lazy_deps.py

- LAZY_DEPS allowlist maps namespaced feature keys (tts.elevenlabs,
  memory.honcho, provider.bedrock, etc.) to pip specs.
- ensure(feature) installs missing deps in the active venv via the
  uv → pip → ensurepip ladder (matches tools_config._pip_install).
- Strict spec safety regex rejects URLs, file paths, shell metas,
  pip flag injection, control chars — only PyPI-by-name accepted.
- Gated on security.allow_lazy_installs (default true) plus the
  HERMES_DISABLE_LAZY_INSTALLS env var for restricted/audited envs.
- Migrated three backends as proof of pattern:
  * tools/tts_tool.py — _import_elevenlabs() calls ensure first
  * plugins/memory/honcho/client.py — get_honcho_client lazy-installs
  * tts.mistral / stt.mistral entries pre-registered for when PyPI
    restores mistralai

# Installer fallback tiers

scripts/install.sh, scripts/install.ps1, setup-hermes.sh:

- Centralised _BROKEN_EXTRAS list (currently: mistral). Edit one
  array when a transitive breaks; users keep every other extra.
- New 'all minus known-broken' tier between [all] and the existing
  PyPI-only-extras tier. Only kicks in when [all] fails resolve.
- All three tiers explicit: every fallback announces which tier
  landed and prints a re-run hint when not on Tier 1.
- install.ps1 and install.sh both regenerate their tier specs from
  the same _BROKEN_EXTRAS array so updates stay in sync.

Side effect: install.ps1 Tier 2 spec previously hardcoded 'mistral'
in its extra list — bug fixed by the refactor (mistral is filtered
out).

# Config

hermes_cli/config.py — DEFAULT_CONFIG.security gains:
- acked_advisories: []  (advisory IDs the user has dismissed)
- allow_lazy_installs: True  (security gate for ensure())

No config version bump needed — both keys nest under existing
security: block, and load_config's deep-merge picks up DEFAULT_CONFIG
defaults for users with older configs.

# Tests

tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py — 23 tests covering:
- detect_compromised matches/non-matches, wildcard frozenset
- ack persistence, idempotence, blank rejection, config-failure path
- banner cache rate limiting + 24h re-banner + ack-stops-banner
- short_banner_lines / full_remediation_text / render_doctor_section /
  gateway_log_message
- shipped catalog well-formedness invariant

tests/tools/test_lazy_deps.py — 40 tests covering:
- spec safety: 11 safe parametrized + 18 unsafe parametrized
- allowlist: unknown-feature rejection, namespace.name shape,
  every shipped spec passes the safety regex
- security gating: config flag, env var, default, fail-open
- ensure() happy/sad paths: already-satisfied, install success,
  pip stderr surfaced on failure, install-succeeds-but-still-missing
- is_available, feature_install_command

Combined: 63 new tests, all passing under scripts/run_tests.sh.

# Validation

- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py
  tests/tools/test_lazy_deps.py → 63/63 passing
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_doctor.py
  tests/hermes_cli/test_doctor_command_install.py
  tests/tools/test_tts_mistral.py tests/tools/test_transcription_tools.py
  tests/tools/test_transcription_dotenv_fallback.py → 165/165 passing
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/ tests/tools/ →
  9191 passed, 8 pre-existing failures (verified on origin/main
  before this change)
- bash -n on install.sh and setup-hermes.sh → OK
- py_compile on all modified .py files → OK
- End-to-end smoke test of detect_compromised + render_doctor_section
  + gateway_log_message with mocked installed version → produces
  copy-pasteable remediation output

* build(deps): pin every direct dep to ==X.Y.Z (no ranges)

Companion to the supply-chain advisory work: replace every >=/</~= range
in pyproject.toml's [project.dependencies] and [project.optional-dependencies]
with an exact ==X.Y.Z pin sourced from uv.lock.

Why: ranges allow PyPI to ship a fresh version of any direct dep at any
time without a code review on our side. With ranges, the malicious
mistralai 2.4.6 release would have been pulled by every fresh
'pip install -e .[all]' for the hours between upload and PyPI's
quarantine — exactly the install window we got hit on. Exact pins close
that window: the only way a new package version reaches a user is via
an intentional update on our end.

What the user-facing change is: nothing, behavior-wise. Every package
resolves to the same version it was already resolving to via uv.lock —
the pins just remove the resolver's freedom to pick a different one.

Cost: any user installing Hermes alongside another package that requires
a newer pin gets a resolver conflict. Acceptable for our isolated-venv
install path; documented in the new comment block.

Build-system requires line (setuptools>=61.0) is intentionally left
as a range — pinning the build backend would block fresh pip from
bootstrapping the build on architectures where that exact wheel isn't
available.

mistral extra (mistralai==2.3.0) is pinned but stays out of [all]
(per PR #24205). 'uv lock' regeneration will fail until PyPI restores
mistralai; lockfile regeneration is gated behind that, NOT on every PR.

LAZY_DEPS in tools/lazy_deps.py also moved to exact pins so the lazy-
install pathway can never resolve a different version than the one
declared in pyproject.toml.

Validation:

- Cross-checked all 77 pinned direct deps in pyproject.toml against
  uv.lock — every pin matches the resolved version exactly.
- Cross-checked all LAZY_DEPS specs against uv.lock — same.
- 'uv pip install -e .[all] --dry-run' resolves 205 packages cleanly.
- tests/tools/test_lazy_deps.py + tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py
  → 63/63 passing (every shipped spec passes the safety regex).
- Doctor + TTS + transcription targeted suite → 146/146 passing.

* build(deps): hash-verify transitives via uv.lock; remove unresolvable [mistral] extra

You asked: 'what about the dependencies the dependencies rely on?' —
correctly noting that exact-pinning direct deps in pyproject.toml does
NOT cover the transitive graph. `pip install` and `uv pip install` both
re-resolve transitives fresh from PyPI at install time, so a compromised
transitive (e.g. `httpcore` if it got worm-poisoned tomorrow) would
still hit our users even with every direct dep exact-pinned.

# What this commit fixes

1. **Both real installer scripts now prefer `uv sync --locked` as Tier 0.**
   uv.lock records SHA256 hashes for every transitive — a compromised
   package with a different hash gets REJECTED. Falls through to the
   existing `uv pip install` cascade if the lockfile is missing or
   stale, with a loud warning that the fallback path does NOT
   hash-verify transitives. Previously only `setup-hermes.sh` (the dev
   path) used the lockfile; `scripts/install.sh` and `scripts/install.ps1`
   (the paths fresh users actually run) skipped it.

2. **Removed the `[mistral]` extra entirely.** The `mistralai` PyPI
   project is fully quarantined right now — every version returns 404,
   so any pin we wrote was unresolvable, which broke `uv lock --check`
   in CI. Restoration is documented in pyproject.toml as a 5-step
   checklist (verify, re-add extra, re-enable in 4 modules, regenerate
   lock, optionally re-add to [all]).

3. **Regenerated uv.lock.** 262 packages, mistralai/eval-type-backport/
   jsonpath-python pruned. `uv lock --check` now passes.

# Defense-in-depth view

| Layer                      | Where             | Protects against                          |
|----------------------------|-------------------|-------------------------------------------|
| Exact pins in pyproject    | direct deps       | new mistralai 2.4.6-style direct compromise |
| uv.lock + `--locked` install | transitive graph  | transitive worm injection                  |
| Tier-0 hash-verified path  | install.sh / .ps1 | actually USE the lockfile in fresh installs |
| `uv lock --check` CI gate  | every PR          | drift between pyproject and lockfile      |
| `hermes_cli/security_advisories.py` | runtime  | cleanup for users who already got hit      |

The exact pinning + hash verification together close the supply-chain
gap. Without the lockfile path, exact pins alone are theater.

# Validation

- `uv lock --check` → passes (262 packages resolved, no drift).
- `bash -n` on install.sh + setup-hermes.sh → OK.
- 209/209 tests passing across new + adjacent test files
  (test_lazy_deps.py, test_security_advisories.py, test_doctor.py,
  test_tts_mistral.py, test_transcription_tools.py).
- TOML parse OK.

* chore: remove community announcement drafts (PR body covers it)

* build(deps): lazy-install every opt-in backend (anthropic, search, terminal, platforms, dashboard)

Extends the lazy-install framework to cover everything that's not used by
every hermes session. Base install drops from ~60 packages to 45.

Moved out of core dependencies = []:
- anthropic   (only when provider=anthropic native, not via aggregators)
- exa-py, firecrawl-py, parallel-web (search backends; only when picked)
- fal-client  (image gen; only when picked)
- edge-tts    (default TTS but still optional)

New extras in pyproject.toml: [anthropic] [exa] [firecrawl] [parallel-web]
[fal] [edge-tts]. All added to [all].

New LAZY_DEPS entries: provider.anthropic, search.{exa,firecrawl,parallel},
tts.edge, image.fal, memory.hindsight, platform.{telegram,discord,matrix},
terminal.{modal,daytona,vercel}, tool.dashboard.

Each import site now calls ensure() before importing the SDK. Where the
module had a top-level try/except (telegram, discord, fastapi), the
graceful-fallback pattern was extended to lazy-install on first
check_*_requirements() call and re-bind module globals.

Updated test_windows_native_support.py tzdata check from snapshot
(>=2023.3 literal) to invariant (any version + win32 marker).

Validation:
- Base install: 45 packages (was ~60); 6 newly-extracted packages absent
- uv lock --check: passes (262 packages, no drift)
- 209/209 lazy_deps + advisory + doctor + tts/transcription tests passing
- py_compile clean on all 12 modified modules

fix(deps): unbreak [all] install — drop mistralai while PyPI quarantined (#24205)
The `mistralai` PyPI package was quarantined on 2026-05-12 after a
malicious 2.4.6 release. Every fresh resolve (AUR makepkg, Docker build,
CI run, install.sh first-run) currently fails on
`mistralai>=2.3.0,<3` because PyPI returns zero candidates.

Existing users running `hermes update` mostly didn't notice — `hermes
update` falls back from `.[all]` to per-extra retries and silently
skips mistral with a warning that scrolls past. But fresh installs
hard-fail or lose every other extra.

Changes:
- pyproject.toml: drop `hermes-agent[mistral]` from `[all]` and
  `[termux-all]`. The `mistral` extra itself is preserved so users
  can opt back in once PyPI un-quarantines.
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: hide Mistral Voxtral TTS from the
  `hermes tools` provider picker until restored.
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: drop "mistral" from dashboard STT options.
- tools/transcription_tools.py: explicit `provider: mistral` returns
  "none" with a clear status message; auto-detect skips mistral.
- tools/tts_tool.py: dispatcher returns a clear "temporarily disabled"
  error before any SDK import attempt (avoids cached-stale-package
  surprises).
- tests/tools/: update three test files to assert the new disabled
  behavior. Each test docstring records why and points at the rollback
  trigger (PyPI un-quarantines mistralai).

Restore plan: revert this commit once the package is available on PyPI
again. The behavior change is intentional and documented in code
comments + test docstrings to make the rollback trivial.

Validation:
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/tools/ -k 'mistral or stt or tts' →
  425/425 passing.

Refs: https://pypi.org/simple/mistralai/ (currently
"pypi:project-status: quarantined").

58e2109f10 fix(minimax): harden OAuth dashboard and runtime
Handle MiniMax OAuth expiry values consistently across CLI and dashboard
flows, fix CLI status/add behavior, and force pooled OAuth runtime
requests through Anthropic Messages.

- web_server._minimax_poller: parse expired_in via the shared resolver
  so unix-ms absolute timestamps stop landing as TTL seconds and crashing
  with 'year 583911 is out of range' when a user connects MiniMax OAuth
  from the dashboard.
- auth._minimax_oauth_login / _refresh_minimax_oauth_state: same fix on
  the CLI login + refresh paths.
- auth.get_auth_status: dispatch minimax-oauth to its dedicated status
  function instead of falling through.
- auth_commands.auth_add_command: 'hermes auth add minimax-oauth' now
  starts the device-code login flow and persists a pool entry with the
  access + refresh tokens, instead of requiring credentials to already
  exist.
- runtime_provider._resolve_runtime_from_pool_entry: pin pooled
  minimax-oauth credentials to anthropic_messages so a stale
  model.api_mode: chat_completions can't send requests to
  /anthropic/chat/completions and trigger MiniMax nginx 404s.

fix(nous): surface Portal-flagged free models in picker even when curated list is stale (#24082)
Free-tier users were seeing 'No free models currently available.' in the
`hermes model` and post-login pickers even though qwen/qwen3.6-plus is
free on the Portal right now. Three independent breakages compounded:

1. The docs-hosted catalog manifest at website/static/api/model-catalog.json
   was not regenerated when _PROVIDER_MODELS['nous'] was updated, so users
   fetching the manifest got a list that didn't include qwen/qwen3.6-plus.
2. _resolve_nous_pricing_credentials() returned ('', '') on any auth blip,
   collapsing get_pricing_for_provider('nous') to {} and making every
   curated model fall through the free-tier filter as 'paid'.
3. Even with healthy pricing, the picker only ever showed models from the
   in-repo curated list intersected with live pricing — a Portal-flagged
   free model not yet in the curated list could never appear.

Changes:
- hermes_cli/models.py: new union_with_portal_free_recommendations() that
  augments the curated list with Portal freeRecommendedModels entries
  (with synthetic free pricing so partition keeps them). The Portal's
  /api/nous/recommended-models endpoint is now the source of truth for
  free-tier surfacing — old Hermes builds will see new free models
  without a CLI release.
- hermes_cli/models.py: _resolve_nous_pricing_credentials() falls back to
  the public inference base URL when runtime cred resolution fails.
  The /v1/models endpoint exposes pricing without auth, so silently
  returning {} just because a refresh token expired was wrong.
- hermes_cli/auth.py + hermes_cli/main.py: both free-tier picker call
  sites call union_with_portal_free_recommendations() before partition.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_models.py: 7 tests covering union behaviour
  (prepend, dedup, end-to-end with stale pricing, empty/missing/error
  payloads, invalid entries).
- tests/hermes_cli/test_model_catalog.py: drift guard
  TestManifestMatchesInRepoLists fails CI when _PROVIDER_MODELS['nous']
  or OPENROUTER_MODELS is edited without re-running
  scripts/build_model_catalog.py. Verified empirically that removing a
  manifest entry triggers an assertion with an actionable error message.

Validation:
- 133/133 targeted tests pass (test_models, test_model_catalog,
  test_auth_nous_provider).
- Live E2E against the real Portal:
  - Stale curated list ['claude-opus','claude-sonnet','gpt-5.4'] (no
    qwen) → after union: ['qwen/qwen3.6-plus', ...] →
    partition(free_tier=True): selectable=['qwen/qwen3.6-plus'].
  - Simulated expired refresh token → anon fetch returns 403 pricing
    entries including qwen/qwen3.6-plus -> {prompt:0, completion:0}.
- ruff: clean.

feat(computer-use): refresh cua-driver on hermes update + add install --upgrade (#24063)
cua-driver was only installed once on toolset enable: `_run_post_setup` early-returns when the binary is already on PATH, so upstream fixes (e.g. v0.1.6 Safari window-focus fix) never reached existing users without manual reinstall.

Two refresh points now:
- `hermes update` re-runs the upstream installer at the end of the update if cua-driver is on PATH (macOS-only, no-op otherwise). Ties driver freshness to the user-controlled update cadence — no startup latency, no per-launch GitHub API call.
- `hermes computer-use install --upgrade` for manual force-refresh.

The upstream `install.sh` always pulls the latest release, so re-running is the canonical upgrade path. No version-comparison logic needed.

`hermes computer-use status` now shows the installed version, and points at `--upgrade` for refreshing.

05bad7b1e7 fix(dashboard): MiniMax 'Login' button launched Claude OAuth (#22832)
Fixes #22832.

## Root cause

`hermes_cli/web_server.py:start_oauth_login` dispatched OAuth flows by
the catalog's `flow` field rather than provider id:

    if catalog_entry["flow"] == "pkce":
        return _start_anthropic_pkce()

The catalog had two `flow: "pkce"` entries — `anthropic` and
`minimax-oauth` — so clicking "Login" on MiniMax in the dashboard's
Keys tab unconditionally launched the Anthropic/Claude PKCE flow.

## Fix

Three changes in `hermes_cli/web_server.py`:

1. Catalog entry for `minimax-oauth` changed from `flow: "pkce"` to
   `flow: "device_code"`. From a UX perspective MiniMax is a
   verification-URI + user-code flow (open URL, enter code, backend
   polls) — same shape as Nous's device-code flow. The PKCE bit
   (verifier + challenge from `_minimax_pkce_pair`) is a security
   extension that doesn't change the operator experience; the existing
   dashboard modal already renders `device_code` correctly for this UX.

2. New MiniMax branch in `_start_device_code_flow`, mirroring the
   existing Nous branch but calling MiniMax-specific helpers
   (`_minimax_request_user_code`, `_minimax_pkce_pair`). Stashes
   verifier + state in the session for the poller to consume. Handles
   the overloaded `expired_in` field (could be unix-ms timestamp OR
   seconds-from-now duration) the same way `_minimax_poll_token` does.

3. New `_minimax_poller` background thread mirroring `_nous_poller`.
   Calls `_minimax_poll_token` → on success builds the same
   `auth_state` dict the CLI flow (`_minimax_oauth_login`) builds, and
   persists via `_minimax_save_auth_state` so the dashboard path leaves
   the system in the same state as `hermes auth add minimax-oauth`.

Plus a dispatcher tightening to prevent regression: the `pkce` branch
now requires `provider_id == "anthropic"`, so any future PKCE provider
added without a proper start function gets a clean
`400 Unsupported flow` rather than silently launching Anthropic OAuth.

## Test

New `tests/hermes_cli/test_web_oauth_dispatch.py`:

- Regression test asserting MiniMax start does NOT return claude.ai
- Sanity test that Anthropic PKCE still works after the dispatcher
  tightening
- Forward-looking test: a hypothetical pkce-flagged provider without
  an explicit branch is rejected cleanly rather than misrouted

## Limitations

- The dashboard MiniMax path defaults to `region="global"`. CN-region
  operators can still use the CLI flow which supports `--region cn`.
  Adding a region toggle to the dashboard UI is a follow-up.

c6ca11618a refactor(tui): simplify TUI build logic, remove stale staleness checks
The old mtime-tracking staleness machinery (_tui_build_needed,
_hermes_ink_bundle_stale, _find_bundled_tui) tried to avoid rebuilding
by comparing source timestamps to dist/entry.js. This was fragile and
added ~100 lines of code. Replace with three clear paths:

1. HERMES_TUI_DIR set (prebuilt/nix): just node dist/entry.js, no build
2. --dev mode: tsx src/entry.tsx, no build, hot reload
3. Normal: always npm run build (esbuild is ~1s, correctness > caching)

Also error when HERMES_TUI_DIR is set with --dev (footgun: prebuilt
bundle has no source code to hot-reload).

feat(prompt-cache): cross-session 1h prefix cache for Claude on Anthropic / OpenRouter / Nous Portal (#23828)
Cuts input cost for first-turn Claude requests by ~85-90% on subsequent
sessions within an hour. Tools array (~13k tokens for default toolset) +
stable system prefix (~5-8k tokens) get a 1h cache_control marker; the
volatile suffix (memory, USER profile, timestamp, session id) sits in a
separate non-cached block at the end so it doesn't poison the cross-session
prefix when it changes.

Provider gate: Claude on native Anthropic (incl. OAuth subscription),
OpenRouter, and Nous Portal (which proxies to OpenRouter). All other
providers keep today's system_and_3 layout unchanged.

Layout (4 cache_control breakpoints, Anthropic max):
  1. tools[-1]              -> 1h (cross-session)
  2. system content[0]      -> 1h (cross-session, stable prefix)
  3. messages[-2]           -> 5m (within-session rolling)
  4. messages[-1]           -> 5m (within-session rolling)

Within-session rolling shrinks from 3 messages to 2 to free the breakpoint
budget. On Claude with realistic tool loadouts the long-lived tier carries
the bulk of cross-session value anyway.

System prompt is now always assembled cache-friendly: stable identity /
guidance / skills / platform hints first, then session-stable context
files (AGENTS.md, .cursorrules), then per-call volatile content. Old
single-string callers see the same logical content (same join order),
just reordered so volatile lives at the end.

Config knobs (defaults shown):
  prompt_caching:
    cache_ttl: "5m"           # rolling-window TTL (unchanged)
    long_lived_prefix: true    # opt-out switch
    long_lived_ttl: "1h"       # cross-session prefix TTL

Live E2E (tests/agent/test_prompt_caching_live.py, gated on
OPENROUTER_API_KEY) on anthropic/claude-haiku-4.5 with default toolset:
  Call 1 (cold):              cache_write=13,415  cache_read=0
  Call 2 (NEW agent + msg):   cache_write=391     cache_read=13,025
  Cross-session reuse:        97.09%

Implementation:
* agent/prompt_caching.py: new apply_anthropic_cache_control_long_lived()
  + mark_tools_for_long_lived_cache(); existing apply_anthropic_cache_control()
  preserved verbatim for the fallback path.
* agent/anthropic_adapter.py: convert_tools_to_anthropic() now forwards
  cache_control onto each Anthropic-format tool dict.
* run_agent.py: _build_system_prompt_parts() returns the 3-tier dict;
  _build_system_prompt() joins them (backward compatible).
  _supports_long_lived_anthropic_cache() policy added next to the existing
  _anthropic_prompt_cache_policy() (which now also recognises Nous Portal
  Claude — pre-existing gap fixed in passing).
  _build_api_kwargs() resolves tools_for_api once and propagates the
  marker through all four build paths (anthropic_messages, bedrock,
  codex_responses, profile/legacy chat completions).
  Long-lived flag plumbed into the runtime snapshot/restore + model-switch
  + fallback-promotion paths.

Tests:
* tests/agent/test_prompt_caching.py: +8 tests (TestMarkToolsForLongLivedCache,
  TestApplyAnthropicCacheControlLongLived).
* tests/run_agent/test_anthropic_prompt_cache_policy.py: +9 tests
  (TestSupportsLongLivedAnthropicCache matrix across 8 endpoint classes
  + a fallback-target case).
* tests/agent/test_prompt_caching_live.py: new live E2E (skipif when
  OPENROUTER_API_KEY is unset; runs outside the hermetic suite).
* Targeted suites: 327/327 pass (caching/adapter/policy/builder).
* tests/agent/ + tests/run_agent/: 3992 pass, 17 skip, 1 pre-existing
  flake (test_async_httpx_del_neuter::test_same_key_replaces_stale_loop_entry,
  verified failing on pristine origin/main).

fix(/model): surface Nous Portal models from remote catalog manifest (#23912)
The /model picker for Nous Portal users was returning the in-repo
_PROVIDER_MODELS["nous"] snapshot — which only updates on Hermes
releases — instead of the remote manifest published at
https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/api/model-catalog.json.

OpenRouter already pulled from the manifest via fetch_openrouter_models;
"nous" was the only curated provider where the existing manifest
plumbing (get_curated_nous_model_ids → get_curated_nous_models) was
defined but not wired into the picker pipeline. Switch the curated
build in list_authenticated_providers to use it, with the same
graceful fallback to the in-repo snapshot when the manifest is
unreachable.

Test: tests/hermes_cli/test_model_catalog.py exercises the picker with
a patched manifest and asserts the manifest's nous list reaches
list_picker_providers. Falls-back-to-static path was already covered
by test_curated_nous_ids_falls_back_to_hardcoded_on_empty_catalog.

283381b1ce fix(dashboard): validate dist exists when --skip-build is set
Follow-up to PR #23824. Adds two correctness fixes on top of the
contributor's salvaged commit:

1. Stale-dist fallback no longer gated on `fatal=False`. `cmd_dashboard`
   passes `fatal=True` and is the primary scenario this fallback is for
   (issue #23817 — Windows Scheduled Task at logon). The previous gate
   meant the fallback never fired in the case it was designed for.

2. `--skip-build` now verifies the dist actually exists before starting
   the server. Without this, a misconfigured pre-build would launch the
   dashboard pointing at a missing dist and silently serve 404s. We now
   exit 1 with a clear "pre-build first: cd web && npm run build"
   message, and on success print which dist directory is being used.

Verified end-to-end on Linux:
- build fails + stale dist (fatal=True)  -> fallback fires
- build fails + no dist (fatal=True)     -> exit 1 with stderr surfaced
- build fails + stale dist (fatal=False) -> fallback fires
- --skip-build + missing dist            -> exit 1 with clear guidance
- --skip-build + valid dist              -> 'Skipping web UI build...'

7085f4e238 fix(dashboard): fallback to stale dist, retry build, add --skip-build flag
Three improvements for non-interactive contexts (Windows Scheduled
Tasks, CI/CD) where the web UI build may fail (issue #23817):

1. Retry build once after 3s — covers boot-time races (antivirus
   scanning Node.js, npm cache not ready, transient disk I/O)
2. Fall back to existing dist when build fails (non-fatal mode) —
   a stale UI is far better than no UI at all
3. Add --skip-build flag — lets callers pre-build in their wrapper
   script and start the dashboard without internal build attempt
4. Surface npm stderr in build failure output for easier debugging

a479ec01ed fix: make web UI build output decoding robust on Windows
On Windows systems using a Chinese GBK locale, `hermes update` could misreport the Web UI build as failed even when `npm run build` actually succeeded. The failure was caused by Python decoding captured npm output with the process locale inside a background subprocess reader thread. When npm emitted bytes such as `0x85`, decoding under GBK raised `UnicodeDecodeError`, and Hermes then surfaced a misleading "Web UI build failed" warning.

This change makes the npm install/npm ci path and the Web UI build step decode captured output explicitly as UTF-8 with `errors="replace"`. That keeps unexpected bytes from crashing output collection, preserves successful builds, and prevents false negatives during update on Windows.

The patch also adds regression tests that verify these subprocess calls always use explicit UTF-8 decoding with replacement semantics.

resolve_profile_env which raises FileNotFoundError when the profile
dir doesn't exist. In production the profile always exists (workers are

HERMES_PROFILE is still set below, so the worker CLI resolves the

Default spawn did not propagate HERMES_HOME when forking kanban workers.

HERMES_HOME is absent. When the child then starts hermes -p <profile>,

profile root), silently ignoring the profile's config.yaml.  Profile-
scoped fallback_providers, toolsets, and agent settings are therefore
never applied to kanban workers.

The fix injects HERMES_HOME into the worker's env using
resolve_profile_env(profile_arg) so the child reads the correct profile
directory instead of the default root.

ebf2ea584a feat(terminal,cli): docker_extra_args + display.timestamps
Two independent opt-in QoL toggles, both off by default.

terminal.docker_extra_args:
- List of extra flags appended verbatim to docker run after security
  defaults. Useful for adding capabilities (e.g. --cap-add SETUID) or
  other docker run options not exposed by existing config keys.
- Non-string entries are logged and skipped.
- Also available via TERMINAL_DOCKER_EXTRA_ARGS='[...]' env var.

display.timestamps:
- Appends [HH:MM] to user input bullet and the assistant response box
  header. Single hub in _format_submitted_user_message_preview()
  covers both single-line and multi-line user previews; assistant
  response label gets the timestamp at box-open time.

Closes #1569 (timestamps).

fix(config): warn loudly on YAML parse failure instead of silent default fallback (#23585)
A YAML parse error in ~/.hermes/config.yaml caused load_config() to print
one line to stdout (Warning: Failed to load config: ...) and silently fall
back to DEFAULT_CONFIG, dropping every user override (auxiliary providers,
fallback chain, model settings). Users only noticed when downstream
behavior misbehaved — see issue #23570 where a tab-indent error in the
auxiliary section caused aux fallback to use OpenRouter (depleted) instead
of the configured Codex/MiniMax chain.

Now: log at WARNING (so 'hermes logs' surfaces it), write a prominent line
to stderr, dedup on (path, mtime_ns, size) so concurrent loads don't spam,
and re-warn after the user edits the file. Both call sites (raw read +
merged load) route through the same helper.

feat(kanban): stranded_in_ready diagnostic for unclaimed tasks (#23578)
Surface ready tasks that nobody claims within a threshold (default
30 min) regardless of why. One identity-agnostic signal that catches:

- Operator typo'd the assignee
- Profile was deleted, leaving its tasks stranded
- External worker pool (Codex CLI lane, custom daemon) is down
- Dispatcher misconfigured (wrong board / wrong HERMES_HOME)

Today the dispatcher correctly skips these (no respawn loop, good)
but nothing surfaces the fact that operator-actionable work is
accumulating. The new `stranded_in_ready` rule does that without
requiring a manual lane registry — it reads the most recent ready-
transition event (`created` / `promoted` / `reclaimed` / `unblocked`)
and fires when (now - last_ready_ts) > threshold.

Severity escalates with age: warning at threshold, error at 2x,
critical at 6x. The cli_hint and reassign actions point operators
at the right next step.

Out of scope deliberately:
- Lane registry (#20157 closed) — this signal supersedes it.
- Pushing the diagnostic into messaging gateways — diagnostics
  are pull-only via 'hermes kanban diagnostics' for now; gateway
  push is a separate UX decision.

Tests: 10 new + 461 existing kanban tests pass. E2E verified end-
to-end via 'hermes kanban diagnostics --json' against a 2h-old
stranded task — surfaces as error severity with correct actions.

fix(goals): force judge to use tool calls instead of JSON-text replies (#23547)
Live-tested on gemini-3-flash-preview the judge kept returning empty
or non-JSON content, tripping the consecutive-parse-failures auto-
pause. Free-form JSON output is hopeful; tool-call schemas are
enforced server-side by virtually every modern provider.

Two new tools the judge calls:

  - submit_checklist(items)  — Phase A, decompose
  - update_checklist(updates, new_items, reason) — Phase B, evaluate

Both phases now call the auxiliary client with tool_choice forcing
the right tool. read_file remains for Phase B history inspection,
with the loop exiting only when update_checklist is called or the
read budget is exhausted (at which point read_file is dropped from
the toolbox and update_checklist is forced).

Robustness:
- _call_judge_with_tool_choice falls back tool_choice forced→required→
  auto if the provider rejects a particular shape.
- If a fully-broken provider still returns content instead of a tool
  call, the legacy JSON-text parsers stay around as a last-ditch
  backstop so we never silently lose a checklist.
- _normalize_update_args replaces the JSON parser for the apply
  layer; same 1-based→0-based conversion + terminal-status filter.

Live verification: same fizzbuzz goal that was hitting 'judge model
returned unparseable output 3 turns in a row' before now terminates
in 2 turns, all 11 items marked completed with item-specific
evidence, no auto-pause. Agent log shows
'produced 11 checklist items via tool call' instead of the JSON-
parse path.

Tests: 7 new cases for the tool-call path (Phase A success, Phase B
update only, Phase B read_file→update, JSON-content backstop,
empty-text item dropping, non-terminal status filter).

feat(goals): /goal checklist + /subgoal user controls (#23456)
* feat(goals): /goal checklist + /subgoal user controls

Two-phase judge for /goal — Phase A decomposes the goal into a detailed
checklist on first turn; Phase B evaluates each pending item harshly
against the agent's most recent response. The goal completes only when
every item is in a terminal status (completed or impossible). Adds
/subgoal so the user can append, complete, mark impossible, undo,
remove, or clear items the judge missed or got wrong.

Mechanics:
- GoalState gains `checklist` and `decomposed` fields, both backwards
  compatible (old state_meta rows load unchanged).
- Phase A: aux call writes a harsh, exhaustive checklist; biased toward
  more items not fewer. Falls through to legacy freeform judge when
  decompose fails.
- Phase B: judge gets the checklist + last-response snippet + path to
  a per-session conversation dump at <HERMES_HOME>/goals/<sid>.json.
  A bounded read_file tool (max 5 calls per turn, restricted to that
  one file) lets the judge inspect history when the snippet is
  ambiguous. Stickiness in code: terminal items are frozen, only the
  user can revert via /subgoal undo.
- Continuation prompt shows checklist progress when non-empty;
  reverts to old prompt when empty.
- Status line shows M/N done counts.

CLI + gateway + TUI gateway all pass the agent reference into
evaluate_after_turn so the dump can be written. Gateway-side
/subgoal is allowed mid-run since it only modifies the checklist
the judge consults at turn boundaries.

Tests: 24 new cases — backcompat round-trip, Phase A decompose,
Phase B updates + new_items + stickiness, user override flows,
conversation dump (incl. unsafe-sid sanitization), judge read_file
restriction. Existing freeform-mode tests updated to patch the
renamed `judge_goal_freeform` and skip Phase A explicitly.

* fix(goals): off-by-one in judge index, message-list plumbing, prompt tuning

Three live-test findings from running /goal end-to-end against
gemini-3-flash-preview as the judge:

1. Off-by-one bug — the judge sees the checklist rendered with 1-based
   indices ('1. [ ] foo, 2. [ ] bar') but the apply layer indexed
   state.checklist as 0-based. Result: every judge update landed on
   the wrong item, evidence got attached to neighbouring rows, and
   the genuine 'first pending' item (usually #1) never got marked.
   Fix: convert 1 → 0 in _parse_evaluate_response. Also tightened the
   user prompt to call out the 1-based scheme explicitly. New tests
   cover the parser conversion + an end-to-end fake-judge round-trip.

2. Conversation dump never happened — _extract_agent_messages tried
   common AIAgent attribute names (.messages, .conversation_history,
   etc.) but AIAgent doesn't expose the message list as an instance
   attribute; it lives inside run_conversation()'s scope. Result: the
   judge's read_file tool always saw history_path=unavailable. Fix:
   added an explicit messages= kwarg to evaluate_after_turn that all
   three call sites (CLI, gateway, TUI gateway) now pass directly.
   Agent-attribute extraction kept as back-compat fallback.

3. Prompt was too harsh on simple goals. The original 'be HARSH,
   default to leaving items pending' wording made the judge refuse
   to mark 'file exists' completed even after the agent ran ls,
   test -f, os.path.isfile, and find — burning the entire 8-turn
   budget on a fizzbuzz task. Softened to 'strict but not absurd'
   with explicit guidance on what counts as evidence and a directive
   not to require re-proving items already established earlier.

Re-tested live with the same fizzbuzz goal: now terminates in 2
turns with all 8 checklist items correctly attributed to their
own evidence. /subgoal user-action flow (add / complete / undo /
impossible) verified live as well.

88588b6159 fix(kanban): extend stale claim instead of killing live worker
Workers running slow models (e.g. kimi-k2.6) can spend longer than
DEFAULT_CLAIM_TTL_SECONDS inside a single tool-free LLM call, making
no tool calls and therefore not heartbeating. release_stale_claims
previously reclaimed these healthy workers, producing the
spawn-then-immediately-reclaim loop reported in #23025.

When a stale-by-TTL claim's host-local worker PID is still alive,
extend the claim (emit a claim_extended event) rather than killing
it. enforce_max_runtime / detect_crashed_workers remain the upper
bounds for genuinely wedged or dead workers. Reclaim events now also
record claim_expires, last_heartbeat_at, worker_pid, and host_local
so operators can see why a worker was killed.

fix(windows): unbreak install + update on Windows (#23394)
Three issues hit during a fresh Windows install + first `hermes update`:

1. `pyproject.toml` re-introduced the invalid `exclude-newer = "7 days"`
   under [tool.uv]. uv requires an RFC 3339 / ISO date — relative-duration
   strings parse-fail. The line was removed in PR #21221 on May 7 and
   accidentally added back in the v0.13.0 release commit (498bfc7bc1)
   the same day. Every uv invocation throughout install logged a TOML
   parse error, confusing users into thinking the install was broken.
   Fix: remove the line (and the now-empty [tool.uv] section).

2. `hermes update` failed on Windows with
   `Access is denied. (os error 5)` when uv tried to overwrite
   `venv\\Scripts\\hermes.exe` — the running entry-point shim. Windows
   blocks REPLACE on a mapped/loaded executable but allows RENAME (kernel
   tracks the file by handle, not path; same trick Chrome/Firefox use for
   self-update). Pre-rename live shims to `hermes.exe.old.<unix-ms>`
   before each `uv pip install -e .`; uv writes a fresh shim at the
   original path; the .old files are swept on the next hermes invocation.
   Wraps every install attempt (primary, base-only fallback, and
   per-extra retries). Restores shims if uv fails before writing
   replacements.

3. Tools post-setup hooks (ddgs, piper-tts, kittentts, langfuse,
   tinker-atropos) shelled out to `[sys.executable, '-m', 'pip', ...]`
   and died with `No module named pip` on every fresh Windows install.
   install.ps1 creates the venv via `uv venv` which doesn't seed pip;
   install.ps1 bootstraps pip later, but only inside the platform-SDK
   verify block — by then the wizard's post-setup hooks have already
   run and failed.

   New `_pip_install` helper tries uv pip first (works in pip-less
   venvs), then python -m pip, then ensurepip-bootstrap-then-pip. All
   five post-setup sites now route through it.

E2E:
- uv pip compile pyproject.toml — no parse warning
- quarantine + cleanup with simulated Windows scripts dir; rollback
  works when uv install fails before writing replacement shim
- _pip_install in a real `uv venv`-created (pip-less) venv: bootstraps
  pip via ensurepip and completes the install

Tests: tests/hermes_cli/ — 4135 pass, 8 pre-existing failures on main
unrelated to this PR (kanban_boards, openclaw_migration,
update_gateway_restart, web_server PluginAPIAuth).

Adds /handoff <platform> CLI command that queues the current session for
resume on the configured home channel of any messaging platform.

CLI side:
- /handoff telegram — marks session in shared DB, sends summary to
  the Telegram home channel via send_message
- /handoff discord — same for Discord
- Supports telegram, discord, slack, whatsapp, signal, matrix

Gateway side:
- On new session creation, checks for pending handoffs for the
  incoming message's platform
- If found, loads the CLI session's full conversation history and
  injects it into the context prompt as a handoff transcript
- Agent continues the conversation seamlessly

Files:
- hermes_state.py: handoff_pending, handoff_platform columns + helpers
- cli.py: _handle_handoff_command dispatch + handler
- hermes_cli/commands.py: CommandDef entry
- gateway/run.py: handoff detection in _handle_message_with_agent

feat(gateway): per-platform admin/user split for slash commands (salvage of #4443) (#23373)
* feat(gateway): per-platform admin/user split for slash commands

Adds an opt-in two-list access control on top of the existing per-platform
`allow_from` allowlists, scoped to slash commands only:

  - allow_admin_from         — full slash command access
  - user_allowed_commands    — what non-admins may run
  - group_allow_admin_from   — same, group/channel scope
  - group_user_allowed_commands

When `allow_admin_from` is unset for a scope, gating is disabled and every
allowed user keeps full access (backward compat). Plain chat is unaffected.
`/help` and `/whoami` are always reachable so users can see what they
can run.

Gate runs at the slash command dispatch site in gateway/run.py and uses
`is_gateway_known_command()`, so it covers built-in AND plugin-registered
commands through the live registry without per-feature wiring.

Adds `/whoami` showing platform, scope, tier, and runnable commands.

Salvage of PR #4443's permission tier work, scoped down. The full tier
system, tool filtering, audit log, usage tracking, rate limiting,
`/promote` flow, and persistent SQLite stores are not included here —
those can be re-expanded later if needed.

* fix(gateway): close running-agent fast-path bypass + add coverage and central docs

The slash command access gate was only applied at the cold dispatch site
(line ~5921). When an agent was already running, the running-agent
fast-path block (line ~5574) dispatched /restart, /stop, /new, /steer,
/model, /approve, /deny, /agents, /background, /kanban, /goal, /yolo,
/verbose, /footer, /help, /commands, /profile, /update directly
without going through the gate — letting non-admins bypass gating just
because an agent happens to be busy.

Refactored the gate into _check_slash_access() and called from BOTH
paths. /status remains intentionally pre-gate so users can always see
session state.

Also added 18 more dispatch tests covering:
  - Running-agent fast-path: blocks non-admin, allows admin, /status
    always works
  - Alias canonicalization (gate uses canonical name, not user alias)
  - Unknown / unregistered commands pass through (don't false-positive)
  - DM admin scope-locked when group has its own admin list
  - Multi-platform isolation (Discord gated, Telegram unrestricted)

Docs: added Slash Command Access Control section to the central
messaging index page + /whoami row in the chat commands table.

fix(xai): drop models being retired May 15, 2026 from pickers (#23291)
xAI is retiring grok-4, grok-4-0709, grok-4-fast{,-reasoning,-non-reasoning},
grok-4-1-fast{,-reasoning,-non-reasoning}, and grok-code-fast-1 on
May 15, 2026 at 12:00 PT. Remove them from the static fallbacks so the
`hermes model` picker, gateway /model picker, and setup wizard stop
auto-suggesting models that will be dead in days.

- _XAI_STATIC_FALLBACK in hermes_cli/models.py now lists only grok-4.20-*
  and grok-4.3 (the live replacements).
- copilot lists in hermes_cli/models.py and hermes_cli/setup.py drop
  grok-code-fast-1 (Copilot proxies it through xAI, so the upstream
  retirement breaks it there too).

Old configs that already reference retired IDs keep working until xAI
flips the switch — context-length lookups in agent/model_metadata.py and
the cache-affinity-header logic in provider_profiles still recognise the
old names. The cleanup here is purely about not advertising them to new
users.

Closes #23278.

3fbbf58853 docs(kanban): document max_spawn as live concurrency cap (not per-tick budget)
Follow-up to the previous commit's behavior fix.

Adds a paragraph to dispatch_once's docstring making the concurrency-cap
semantic explicit, and an inline comment near the running_count query
explaining why we do the count (so a future reader doesn't refactor it
back to per-tick semantics thinking it's redundant). Both call out the
unbounded-accumulation failure mode that motivated the fix, since
nothing in the codebase or skills currently documents what max_spawn
is supposed to mean.

The semantic is per-board: each kanban board has its own SQLite file,
so the running-count COUNT(*) is naturally scoped to the board the
dispatcher tick is processing.

1f5983c4c8 feat(kanban): aggregate all toolset-name typos in skills before raising
Follow-up to the previous commit's toolset-vs-skill validation.

The contributor's fix raises ValueError on the first toolset name found
in the skills list. That works for one mistake, but agents that confuse
skills with toolsets usually pass several at once
(`skills=["web", "browser", "terminal"]`) — and serial-correcting one
per failure round-trip wastes tokens. Collect all toolset-shaped
entries first, then raise once with the full list.

The error message is also slightly clearer:

    'web', 'browser', 'terminal' are toolset names, not skill name(s).
    Put toolsets in the assignee profile's `toolsets:` config instead of
    per-task skills. Skills are named skill bundles (e.g. `kanban-worker`,
    `blogwatcher`); toolsets are runtime capabilities (e.g. `web`,
    `browser`, `terminal`).

vs. the previous "the assignee profile's toolsets" — explicitly naming
the YAML key (`toolsets:`) and giving concrete examples in both
categories closes the conceptual gap that produced the bug to begin
with.

Adds one regression test (test_create_task_skills_lists_all_toolset_typos)
covering the multi-name aggregation path. The single-typo test from
the original PR still passes (the loose `match="toolset name"` matches
both singular and plural forms).

62b1c74cbc fix(kanban): correct dispatcher spawn module name + PATH-first lookup
Follow-up to the previous commit's contributor cherry-pick.

The cherry-picked change replaced the bare ``["hermes", ...]`` spawn with
``[sys.executable, "-m", "hermes", ...]``. The intent was right (avoid
PATH dependence — cron, systemd User= services, launchd jobs, and other
detached dispatcher invocations routinely run with a stripped $PATH that
doesn't include the venv's bin/, breaking the bare-shim spawn) but the
module name is wrong: there is no top-level ``hermes`` package. The
console-script entry point in pyproject.toml is
``hermes = "hermes_cli.main:main"``, and ``python -m hermes`` fails with
``No module named hermes``. The cherry-picked form would have replaced a
sometimes-broken spawn with an always-broken one.

This commit:

- Adds ``_resolve_hermes_argv()``, mirroring ``gateway.run._resolve_hermes_bin``.
  Tries ``shutil.which("hermes")`` first (preferred — keeps existing ``ps``
  output and log lines familiar in the common case) and falls back to
  ``[sys.executable, "-m", "hermes_cli.main"]`` when the shim is not on
  PATH. The fallback goes through the running interpreter so it's
  PATH-independent. Kept as a local helper rather than imported from
  gateway because ``hermes_cli`` sits below ``gateway`` in the dependency
  order.
- Switches the dispatcher's ``cmd`` list to use ``*_resolve_hermes_argv()``.
- Adds three regression tests:
  * ``test_resolve_hermes_argv_prefers_path_shim`` — pins the PATH-first
    branch so a future refactor doesn't silently flip the order.
  * ``test_resolve_hermes_argv_falls_back_to_module_form_when_no_path_shim`` —
    pins the correct module name (``hermes_cli.main``, NOT ``hermes``).
    Direct regression guard for the form that shipped in the original PR.
  * ``test_resolve_hermes_argv_module_actually_runs`` — runs the fallback
    invocation as a real subprocess and asserts ``--version`` works, so
    losing ``hermes_cli.main``'s ``__main__`` handling can't slip past the
    string-match test.

Verified end-to-end: with the shim on PATH the resolver returns
``[/.../hermes]`` and ``--version`` works; with the shim removed the
resolver returns ``[python, -m, hermes_cli.main]`` and ``--version``
still works; the original PR's ``python -m hermes`` invocation fails as
expected (``No module named hermes``).

d3db6724dd fix(kanban): use sys.executable -m hermes for dispatcher spawn
In NixOS container mode, hermes is installed at a store path with no
symlink on PATH (e.g. /data/current-package/bin/hermes). The kanban
dispatcher spawns workers via _default_spawn() using a bare 'hermes'
subprocess call, which fails with 'hermes executable not found on PATH'
in container mode.

Fix by calling sys.executable -m hermes instead, which is guaranteed
to resolve to the same Python interpreter running the dispatcher.

feat(plugins): run any LLM call from inside a plugin via ctx.llm (#23194)
* feat(plugins): host-owned LLM access via ctx.llm

Plugins can now ask the host to run a one-shot chat or structured
completion against the user's active model and auth, without ever
seeing an OAuth token or API key. Closes the gap where plugins that
needed bounded structured inference (receipts, CRM extraction,
support classification) had to either bring their own provider keys
or register a tool the agent had to call.

New surface on PluginContext:
- ctx.llm.complete(messages, ...)
- ctx.llm.complete_structured(instructions, input, json_schema, ...)
- async siblings ctx.llm.acomplete / acomplete_structured

Backed by the existing auxiliary_client.call_llm pipeline — every
provider, fallback chain, vision routing, and timeout policy Hermes
already supports applies automatically.

Trust gate (fail-closed by default):
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allow_model_override
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allowed_models (allowlist; '*' = any)
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allow_agent_id_override
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allow_profile_override

Embedded model@profile shorthand goes through the same gate as
explicit profile=, so it can't bypass the auth-profile policy.
Conflicting explicit and embedded profiles fail closed.

Also lands:
- plugins/plugin-llm-example/ — reference plugin that registers
  /receipt-extract, demonstrating image+text structured input,
  jsonschema validation, and the trust-gate config.
- website/docs/developer-guide/plugin-llm-access.md — full API docs.
- 45 unit tests covering trust gates, JSON parsing, schema
  validation, image encoding, async surface, and config loading.

Validation:
- 2628 tests pass in tests/agent/
- E2E: bundled plugin loaded with isolated HERMES_HOME, slash
  command produced parsed JSON via stubbed call_llm
- response_format extra_body wired correctly for both json_object
  and json_schema modes

* docs(plugin-llm): rewrite quickstart and framing

The quickstart now uses a meeting-notes-to-tasks example instead of
a receipt extractor, and the page leads with hook-time / gateway
pre-filter / scheduled-job framing rather than the OpenClaw
KB/support/CRM/finance/migration enumeration that the original
upstream PR used. Receipt example moved to a separate worked
example link so the docs page itself doesn't echo any of the
upstream framing.

Also clarifies where ctx.llm fits in the broader plugin surface
(table comparing register_tool / register_platform / register_hook
/ etc.) and what makes this lane different from auxiliary_client
internals.

No code change.

* docs(plugin-llm): reframe as any LLM call, not just structured output

The original draft leaned heavily on complete_structured() and made
the chat lane (complete() / acomplete()) feel like a footnote.
Restructure so:

- The page title and description say 'any LLM call.'
- The lead shows BOTH a plain chat call (error rewriter) AND a
  structured call (triage scorer) up top.
- Quick start has two complete plugin examples — /tldr (chat) and
  /paste-to-tasks (structured).
- New 'When to use which' table for choosing complete() vs
  complete_structured() vs the async siblings.
- Trust-gate sections explicitly note 'all four methods,' and the
  request-shaping list calls out chat-only fields (messages) and
  structured-only fields (instructions, input, json_schema)
  alongside each other.
- The 'Where this fits' section now says 'for any reason,
  structured or not.'

The receipt-extractor reference plugin still exists under
plugins/plugin-llm-example/ — but the docs page no longer treats
it as the canonical surface example. It's now described as 'a third
worked example, this time with image input.'

No code change.

* feat(plugin-llm): split provider/model into independent explicit kwargs

The first cut accepted a single 'provider/model' slug on every method
and split it internally. That looked clean but broke under live test:
the model-override path tried to use the slug's vendor prefix as a
literal Hermes provider id, which silently switched the user off
their aggregator (e.g. plugin asks for 'openai/gpt-4o-mini' on a user
who routes through OpenRouter — host attempted to call the 'openai'
provider directly, failed because OPENAI_API_KEY wasn't set).

New shape mirrors the host's main config:

  ctx.llm.complete(
      messages=[...],
      provider='openrouter',         # gated, optional
      model='openai/gpt-4o-mini',    # gated, optional
      profile='work',                # gated, optional
      ...
  )

Each is independently gated by its own allow_*_override flag.
Granting model-override does NOT auto-grant provider-override.
Allowlists are now per-axis (allowed_providers, allowed_models)
matched literally against whatever string the plugin sends.

Dropped 'model@profile' embedded-suffix shorthand entirely. Hermes
doesn't use that pattern anywhere else; profile= is its own kwarg.

Live E2E (against real OpenRouter via Teknium's config) confirms:
- zero-config call works
- default-deny blocks each override with a helpful error
- model-only override stays on user's active provider (the bug)
- provider+model override switches cleanly
- allowlist refuses non-listed entries
- structured output round-trip parses + schema-validates

Tests: 49 cases (up from 45); all green. Docs updated to match the
new shape, including a 'most plugins never need this section' callout
on the trust-gate config block.

* fix+cleanup(plugin-llm): real attribution, hook-mode coverage, move example out of core

Three integration fixes for the ctx.llm surface:

1. Attribution bug — result.provider and result.model now reflect
   what call_llm actually used, not placeholder fallbacks ('auto',
   'default'). New _resolve_attribution() helper:

     - explicit overrides win (what the call targeted)
     - response.model wins for the recorded model (provider
       canonicalisation: 'gpt-4o' → 'gpt-4o-2024-08-06' etc.)
     - falls back to _read_main_provider() / _read_main_model()
       when no override is set, so audit logs reflect the user's
       active main provider/model
     - 'auto' / 'default' only when EVERYTHING is empty

   Live verified: zero-config call now records
   provider='openrouter', model='anthropic/claude-4.7-opus-20260416'
   instead of provider='auto', model='default'.

2. Hook-mode coverage — TestHookMode confirms ctx.llm.complete
   works from inside a registered post_tool_call callback. The
   docs page promised hook integration; now there's a test that
   exercises the lazy-import path through the real invoke_hook
   machinery. Two cases: traceback-rewrite hook with conditional
   ctx.llm.complete, and minimal hook regression for the
   sync-hook + sync-llm path.

3. Reference plugin moved out of core. plugins/plugin-llm-example/
   is gone from hermes-agent — it now lives in the new
   NousResearch/hermes-example-plugins companion repo. The docs
   page links there. Hermes' bundled plugins should be plugins
   users actually run; reference / docs-companion plugins live
   externally.

Test count: 56 (up from 49). Wider sweep on tests/hermes_cli/
+ tests/gateway/ + tests/tools/ + tests/agent/ shows 16770
passing; the 12 failures are all pre-existing on origin/main
(verified by stashing this branch's changes and re-running) —
kanban-boards, delegate-task, gateway-restart, tts-routing —
none touch the plugin_llm surface.

* chore(plugins): move all example plugins to companion repo

Reference / docs-companion plugins now live exclusively in
NousResearch/hermes-example-plugins, not bundled with the core repo:

- example-dashboard
- strike-freedom-cockpit

A new fourth example, plugin-llm-async-example, was added to that
repo demonstrating ctx.llm's async surface (acomplete()) with
asyncio.gather() — registers /translate <lang>: <text> which fires
forward translation + sentiment classifier in parallel, then a
back-translation for QA. Live-tested at 2.5s for three real
provider round-trips (would be ~5-6s sequential).

Docs updated:
- developer-guide/plugin-llm-access.md links both sync and async
  examples in the Reference section
- user-guide/features/extending-the-dashboard.md repoints both demo
  sections to the companion repo with corrected install paths
- user-guide/features/built-in-plugins.md drops the two demo rows
- AGENTS.md notes that example plugins live in the companion repo

Net: hermes-agent's plugins/ directory now contains only plugins
users actually run (memory providers, dashboard tabs that ship real
features, the disk-cleanup hook, platform adapters). All four
demo / reference plugins live externally where they can be cloned
on demand instead of inflating the core install.

9ee9a4297d docs(codex-spark): document ChatGPT Pro entitlement gating
PR #12994 stripped gpt-5.3-codex-spark on the assumption that it was
unsupported. It's actually research-preview, ChatGPT-Pro-only, exposed
via the Codex OAuth backend at chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/models —
not via the public OpenAI API.

Add explanatory comments in:
  - DEFAULT_CODEX_MODELS / _FORWARD_COMPAT_TEMPLATE_MODELS (codex_models.py)
  - _CODEX_OAUTH_CONTEXT_FALLBACK (model_metadata.py)
  - list_authenticated_providers' live-discovery branch (model_switch.py)

so future maintainers don't strip the entry again. Also documents the
intentional asymmetry that Spark stays out of the "openai" provider
catalog (it isn't on the public API) and why the supported_in_api
filter is *not* applied for the openai-codex route.

d1fc748def fix(kanban): /kanban slash command emits argparse garbage instead of help
Closes #21794.

`/kanban`, `/kanban help`, `/kanban --help`, and `/kanban <sub> -h`
all returned broken output to the gateway and interactive CLI. Three
underlying bugs in `hermes_cli.kanban.run_slash`:

1. argparse writes help to **stdout** but `run_slash` only captured
   stderr at parse time, so `-h` text was silently swallowed and
   replaced with the `(usage error: 0)` sentinel.
2. The wrapping parser used `prog="/"` and routed via a synthetic
   "_top → kanban" subparser, producing `usage: / kanban …` (stray
   space) and `usage: /kanban kanban …` (doubled token) in error text.
3. Bare `/kanban` and `/kanban help` dumped argparse's full ~3KB
   usage tree, which reads as visual garbage in a chat bubble.

Fix: drive the kanban_parser directly (no double-wrap), rewrite prog
strings on every leaf subparser, capture stdout AND stderr around
parse_args, distinguish SystemExit(0) (help — return captured stdout)
from SystemExit(2) (error — return single-line ⚠-prefixed message),
and add an explicit chat-friendly short-help block returned for bare
invocation and the help aliases (`help`, `--help`, `-h`, `?`).

Added 5 regression tests covering bare invocation, every help alias,
subcommand help, unknown action, and missing required arg.

Affects every chat platform via gateway/run.py::_handle_kanban_command
and the interactive CLI via cli.py::_handle_kanban_command.

feat(curator): show rename map in user-visible summary (#22910)
* feat(curator): show rename map (where skills went) in user-visible summary

The full data has always been on disk in REPORT.md, but the user-visible
curator summary (gateway 💾 line, CLI session-start panel,
`hermes curator status`) was counts-only — "consolidated 4 into 2
umbrellas" with no names. Users only discovered renames when something
they expected was gone.

New `_build_rename_summary()` formats the rename map and appends it to
`final_summary`:

    auto: 1 marked stale; llm: consolidated 2 into 1, pruned 1
    archived 3 skill(s):
      • docx-extraction → document-tools
      • pdf-extraction → document-tools
      • old-stale-thing — pruned (stale)
    full report: hermes curator status

Empty on no-op ticks (no archives), so most ticks add zero log noise.
Cap of 10 entries keeps agent.log readable when a 50-skill
consolidation lands; the full list is always in REPORT.md.

`hermes curator status` indents continuation lines so the multi-line
summary reads as one logical field.

5 new tests in tests/agent/test_curator_classification.py covering
empty / consolidation / pruning / cap / mixed cases.

* feat(curator): show recent run summary once on `hermes update`

The rename map is now visible from where users actually look — the
update flow they explicitly run, instead of just the live gateway log
or transient CLI session-start panel.

Behavior:
- After `hermes update`, if the most recent curator run produced a
  rename map (multi-line summary) that the user hasn't seen yet, print
  it once with a 'last run Xh ago' header and a one-time-message
  footer.
- Stamp `last_run_summary_shown_at = last_run_at` after printing so
  subsequent `hermes update` invocations are silent until a newer
  curator run lands.
- Silent on no-op runs (single-line summary like 'auto: no changes;
  llm: no change'). Still stamps shown so we don't reconsider on
  every update.
- Silent when the curator has never run (the existing first-run
  notice handles that case).

Output:

    ℹ Skill curator — last run 4h ago
      auto: 1 marked stale; llm: consolidated 2 into 1, pruned 1
      archived 3 skill(s):
        • docx-extraction → document-tools
        • pdf-extraction → document-tools
        • old-stale-thing — pruned (stale)
      full report: hermes curator status
      (This message shows once per curator run. View anytime: hermes curator status)

State migration:
- `_default_state()` gains `last_run_summary_shown_at: None`. Existing
  state files lack the field; `.get()` returns None; the comparison
  treats any prior run as 'not yet shown' and prints once on next
  update. Self-healing.

Wiring:
- Both `hermes update` paths in main.py call the new
  `_print_curator_recent_run_notice()` right after the existing
  first-run notice. Best-effort try/except so a state-load bug
  never breaks the update flow.

6 tests in tests/hermes_cli/test_curator_recent_run_notice.py:
no-run / single-line / multi-line / show-once / new-run-resets /
time-formatter buckets.

4fdaf0b4d8 fix: use credential_pool for custom endpoint model listing probes
Same-provider /model switches on a 'custom' endpoint kept stale credentials
because (a) _resolve_named_custom_runtime's bare-custom + explicit_base_url
path went straight to OPENAI_API_KEY/OPENROUTER_API_KEY env fallbacks
without consulting the credential pool, and (b) switch_model() guarded
against custom-provider re-resolution to preserve base_url, locking in
the prior api_key.

Now the bare-custom path queries the credential pool first (mirroring
the named-custom-provider branch behavior), and the same-provider switch
guard is removed since resolve_runtime_provider has since grown a robust
custom-resolution path that preserves base_url from model_cfg.

Refs #18681 (the gateway-side api_key wiring is still separate),
#16254, #12919.

fix(test_gateway): stop run_gateway() tests from rewriting the dev's installed systemd unit (#22900)
run_gateway() calls refresh_systemd_unit_if_needed() on every invocation
so restart settings stay current after exit-code-75 respawns. The
user-scope unit path resolves under Path.home() (NOT sandboxed by
conftest, only HERMES_HOME is), and generate_systemd_unit() bakes the
current HERMES_HOME into the unit's Environment= line.

Result: any test that exercises run_gateway() end-to-end on a real
Linux dev box silently rewrites the developer's installed
~/.config/systemd/user/hermes-gateway.service with a polluted
HERMES_HOME pointing at /tmp/pytest-of-<user>/.../hermes_test. On the
next reboot, systemd loads that unit, the gateway starts looking at an
empty tmp dir, and Telegram/Discord/etc. all show as 'No messaging
platforms enabled' even though the user's real config is fine. Three
tests in tests/hermes_cli/test_gateway.py hit this path:
test_run_gateway_exits_cleanly_on_keyboard_interrupt,
test_run_gateway_exits_nonzero_when_start_gateway_reports_failure, and
test_run_gateway_root_guard_has_escape_hatch.

Two-layer fix:

1. _install_fake_gateway_run helper (covers all four run_gateway() call
   sites in test_gateway.py and any future ones) now also stubs
   supports_systemd_services and refresh_systemd_unit_if_needed.

2. refresh_systemd_unit_if_needed() itself sniffs the generated unit
   body for /pytest-of- and /hermes_test markers and refuses to write
   when present. Defense in depth so a future test that bypasses the
   helper still can't corrupt the dev's gateway. Tests that legitimately
   exercise the refresh flow (test_run_gateway_refreshes_outdated_unit_on_boot)
   patch generate_systemd_unit to return synthetic content that doesn't
   carry those markers, so they keep working.

Adds test_refresh_refuses_to_bake_pytest_tmpdir_into_real_user_unit as a
regression test for the source-side guard.

116a1446a4 fix(terminal): bridge docker_env config to TERMINAL_DOCKER_ENV
Problem: terminal.docker_env set in config.yaml was silently ignored.
Docker containers never received the user-specified env vars.

Root cause: docker_env was missing from all three config→env bridging
maps (cli.py env_mappings, gateway/run.py _terminal_env_map,
hermes_cli/config.py _config_to_env_sync) and from the terminal_tool
_get_env_config() reader. _create_environment() consumed the key from
container_config correctly, but it was always {} because TERMINAL_DOCKER_ENV
was never set.

Also extend the list-serialisation branches in cli.py and gateway/run.py
to handle dict values via json.dumps (lists already used json.dumps;
plain str() on a dict produces undecodable output).

Fix:
- cli.py: add "docker_env": "TERMINAL_DOCKER_ENV" to env_mappings;
  serialise dict values with json.dumps alongside existing list path
- gateway/run.py: same additions to _terminal_env_map and serialisation
- hermes_cli/config.py: add "terminal.docker_env": "TERMINAL_DOCKER_ENV"
  to _config_to_env_sync so `hermes config set terminal.docker_env …`
  persists to .env correctly
- tools/terminal_tool.py: add docker_env key to _get_env_config() reading
  TERMINAL_DOCKER_ENV via _parse_env_var with default "{}"

Tests: add test_docker_env_is_bridged_everywhere to
tests/tools/test_terminal_config_env_sync.py — stash-verified: fails on
origin/main, passes with fix.

c179bdab3c fix(install): also patch psutil on Termux fresh-install path
The Termux update path (PR #22814) prebuilds psutil from a marker-patched
sdist so 'platform android is not supported' doesn't kill it. The same
psutil setup.py error blocks fresh installs via scripts/install.sh — only
the update path was wired up. Without this, a brand-new Termux user can't
get past the very first 'pip install -e .[termux-all]' call.

- New scripts/install_psutil_android.py — standalone version of the same
  patcher hermes_cli/main.py uses, callable from bash.
- scripts/install.sh detects sys.platform == 'android' and runs the
  patcher before pip install.
- TODO note added to both copies pointing at upstream
  https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil/pull/2762; remove both when that
  ships.

Note: we keep psutil as a base dep on Android (do not adopt the proposed
sys_platform != 'android' marker in pyproject). Removing it would crash
five unguarded 'import psutil' sites at runtime
(tools/code_execution_tool.py, tools/tts_tool.py, tools/process_registry.py
(2x), gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py).

docs(openrouter): document auxiliary.<task>.extra_body for OR routing and Pareto (#22844)
The plumbing for setting OpenRouter provider preferences and the Pareto Code
router on auxiliary tasks already exists — auxiliary.<task>.extra_body is
forwarded verbatim by call_llm() / async_call_llm(). It just wasn't documented,
so users who wanted (e.g.) Pareto Code routing for compression but the strongest
coder for the main agent had no way to discover the escape hatch.

- hermes_cli/config.py: expand the auxiliary section header with a YAML
  example showing provider routing plus plugins under extra_body, and an
  explicit note that main-agent provider_routing / openrouter.min_coding_score
  do NOT propagate to aux calls (each task is independent by design)
- website/docs/user-guide/configuration.md: new 'OpenRouter routing and
  Pareto Code for auxiliary tasks' subsection with worked example
- website/docs/integrations/providers.md: cross-link from the Pareto Code
  Router section to the aux-side doc

E2E verified that auxiliary.<task>.extra_body reaches the OpenRouter API with
the configured provider routing and plugins blocks intact.

feat(openrouter): wire Pareto Code router with min_coding_score knob (#22838)
Pick openrouter/pareto-code as your model and OpenRouter auto-routes each
request to the cheapest model meeting your coding-quality bar (ranked by
Artificial Analysis). The new openrouter.min_coding_score config key (0.0-1.0,
default 0.65) tunes the floor.

- hermes_cli/models.py: add openrouter/pareto-code to OPENROUTER_MODELS so
  it shows up in the picker with a description
- hermes_cli/config.py: add openrouter.min_coding_score (default 0.65 — lands
  on a mid-tier coder on the current Pareto frontier)
- plugins/model-providers/openrouter: emit extra_body.plugins =
  [{id: pareto-router, min_coding_score: X}] when model is openrouter/pareto-code
  AND the score is a valid float in [0.0, 1.0]
- agent/transports/chat_completions.py: same emission on the legacy flag
  path (when no provider profile is loaded)
- run_agent.py: openrouter_min_coding_score kwarg + storage; plumbed into
  both build_kwargs() invocations and the context-summary extra_body path
- cli.py: read openrouter.min_coding_score once at init, validate float in
  [0,1], pass to AIAgent constructions (CLI + background-task paths)
- cron/scheduler.py, batch_runner.py, tools/delegate_tool.py,
  tui_gateway/server.py: propagate the kwarg (mirrors providers_order
  plumbing — subagents inherit, cron/batch read from config)
- tests: profile-level + transport-level coverage of the model gating,
  unset/empty/out-of-range handling, and the legacy flag path
- docs: new 'OpenRouter Pareto Code Router' section in providers.md

Verified end-to-end against api.openrouter.ai: at score=0.65 we land on a
mid-tier coder, at omission we get the strongest. Score is silently dropped
on any model other than openrouter/pareto-code, so it's safe to leave set.

1508dcb9c2 fix(gateway): adopt unit's HERMES_HOME for --system CLI ops
When systemd_restart / systemd_status / systemd_stop run under sudo,
HERMES_HOME is stripped and HOME=/root, so get_hermes_home() resolves
to /root/.hermes instead of the unit's pinned home. read_runtime_status
and get_running_pid then look at the wrong gateway_state.json — the
60s status poll never sees "running", times out, and forces another
systemctl restart that SIGTERMs the in-progress new gateway.

Read the unit's pinned HERMES_HOME from `systemctl show -p Environment`
and mirror it into os.environ before any HERMES_HOME-derived read.
Early-out when system=False (user-scope inherits naturally). Errors
swallowed so a transient systemctl failure doesn't break unrelated
CLI ops.

1dd0790654 fix(doctor): skip pluggable provider profiles when a dedicated check exists (#22346)
Problem
-------
`hermes doctor` ran two health checks for Anthropic: a dedicated one
with the correct `x-api-key` + `anthropic-version` headers, and a
generic Bearer-auth one driven by the pluggable `ProviderProfile` for
"anthropic". The generic check called `https://api.anthropic.com/v1/models`
with `Authorization: Bearer ...`, which Anthropic answers with HTTP 404,
producing a noisy duplicate warning even when the dedicated check passed.

Root cause
----------
`hermes_cli/doctor.py:_build_apikey_providers_list` deduplicated profiles
against a `_known_canonical` set built from the static list (Z.AI/GLM,
Kimi, DeepSeek, …). Providers with their own dedicated check above the
generic loop (Anthropic, OpenRouter, Bedrock) were not in that set, so
their profiles were appended and ran a second, broken check.

Fix
---
Add `{"anthropic", "openrouter", "bedrock"}` to the skip set, and
also skip profiles whose aliases match any of those names (e.g.
`claude`, `claude-oauth` → anthropic).

Tests
-----
tests/hermes_cli/test_doctor_dedicated_provider_skip.py:
  - test_build_apikey_providers_list_skips_dedicated_check_providers:
    asserts the assembled list does not contain anthropic, openrouter,
    or bedrock entries.
  - test_build_apikey_providers_list_includes_non_dedicated_providers:
    sanity guard that legitimate providers (DeepSeek, Z.AI/GLM) survive.
Both confirmed via stash-verify (fail pre-fix with anthropic/openrouter
leaking, pass post-fix).

and once via init_db's discard-and-reconnect path), a second connection can
run the same migration before the first one commits, causing:

  sqlite3.OperationalError: duplicate column name: consecutive_failures

This crashed the dispatcher on every first tick after a gateway restart
(subsequent ticks succeeded because the columns were then present).

Fix: introduce _add_column_if_missing() which wraps ALTER TABLE in a
try/except that swallows OperationalError whose message contains
'duplicate column name'.  All ALTER TABLE calls in
_migrate_add_optional_columns are routed through this helper.

perf(doctor): parallelize API connectivity checks and disable IMDS (#22766)
`hermes doctor` ran every connectivity probe sequentially and on a typical
developer laptop spent ~2s of its ~5s wall time inside boto3's EC2
instance-metadata-service lookup (169.254.169.254) — the default
AWS credential chain probes IMDS even when AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK
or AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID is the only legitimate source.

Refactor the API Connectivity section so every probe (OpenRouter,
Anthropic, ~16 static API-key providers + dynamic profiles, AWS
Bedrock) is a pure function returning a structured result, then
fan them out through a ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=8). Output
order, glyphs, colours, padding, and issue strings stay byte-for-byte
identical to the sequential implementation; results are gathered
in submission order.

Also disable IMDS for the parallel block by setting
AWS_EC2_METADATA_DISABLED=true on the parent thread before submitting
work (and restoring its prior value in a finally block). Bedrock's
real-API call gets a Config(connect_timeout=5, read_timeout=10,
retries={max_attempts:1}) so a transient regional failure can't pad
the run by 30+ seconds.

Measured impact (5-run medians, 9950X3D):
  hermes doctor:           5.07 → 2.16 s  (-57%)

Doctor tests: 48 passed (test_doctor.py + test_doctor_command_install.py).

The remaining ~2s of wall is import overhead + a couple of one-off
network calls outside the API Connectivity section (`fetch_models_dev`
provider catalog refresh, Nous OAuth refresh in `Auth Providers`).
Those are next-tier targets, not part of this change.

fix(tools): install cua-driver when Computer Use is enabled via 'hermes tools' (#22765)
Returning users who enabled '🖱️ Computer Use (macOS)' via 'hermes tools'
saw '✓ Saved configuration' but no install — cua-driver was never on
PATH and the toolset failed at first use. Two compounding causes:

1. _toolset_needs_configuration_prompt fell through to _toolset_has_keys,
   which returned True for any provider with empty env_vars. cua-driver
   has no env vars, so the gate skipped _configure_toolset entirely and
   _run_post_setup('cua_driver') never ran.

2. No stable CLI entry-point existed for re-running the install when
   the picker no-op'd it (e.g. when toggling the toolset off+on inside
   one picker session, where 'added' is empty).

Changes:

- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: add _POST_SETUP_INSTALLED registry
  mapping post_setup keys to installed-state predicates. The gate
  now returns True when any visible provider has a registered
  post_setup whose predicate fails. cua_driver is the only opt-in
  for now; other post_setup hooks keep their existing behaviour.
- hermes_cli/main.py: add 'hermes computer-use install' and
  'hermes computer-use status' as a stable docs target. install
  reuses the same _run_post_setup('cua_driver') path that the
  picker invokes; status reports whether cua-driver is on PATH.
- tools/computer_use/cua_backend.py: install hint now points users
  at 'hermes computer-use install' first.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/computer-use.md: document the
  new command as the primary install path.
- website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md: catalog 'hermes
  computer-use' alongside 'hermes tools'.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_post_setup_gating.py: regression coverage
  for the gate predicate (missing -> setup forced, installed ->
  setup skipped, broken predicate -> non-blocking, unregistered
  keys -> behaviour unchanged).

fix(cli): make Ctrl+Enter insert newline on WSL/SSH/Windows Terminal (#22777)
Native Windows, WSL, SSH sessions, and Windows Terminal all send
Ctrl+Enter as bare LF (c-j). Hermes was binding c-j as submit on
every POSIX platform, so Ctrl+Enter submitted instead of inserting
a newline on those terminals. Reported in #22379.

Add _preserve_ctrl_enter_newline() predicate that detects the
environments where Ctrl+Enter must produce a newline (sys.platform
== 'win32', SSH_CONNECTION/SSH_CLIENT/SSH_TTY env, WT_SESSION,
WSL_DISTRO_NAME, /proc/version 'microsoft' marker). Gate the
c-j-as-submit binding off in those environments and gate the
c-j-as-newline handler on. Local POSIX TTYs without those markers
(docker exec, plain ssh from a Mac) keep c-j as submit so plain
Enter still works on thin PTYs.

Add install_ctrl_enter_alias() in hermes_cli/pt_input_extras.py
mapping the three CSI-u / modifyOtherKeys variants of Ctrl+Enter
('\x1b[13;5u', '\x1b[27;5;13~', '\x1b[27;5;13u') to the
(Escape, ControlM) tuple Alt+Enter produces. This lets Kitty /
mintty / xterm-with-modifyOtherKeys users over SSH get a Ctrl+Enter
newline through the existing Alt+Enter handler.

9 new tests + extended existing test_lf_enter_binds_to_submit_handler_posix
to cover bare-local vs SSH branches.

fix(kanban): sanitize comment author rendering in build_worker_context (#22769)
Operator-controlled HERMES_PROFILE values were rendered as
'**${author}** (${ts}):' — markdown bold with no provenance prefix.
Worker comment bodies render directly underneath. A misleading
profile name like 'hermes-system' or 'operator' could be misread by
the next worker as a system directive above attacker-influenced
content (confused-deputy primitive gated on operator misconfig).

The LLM-controlled author-forgery surface was already closed in
#22435 (author removed from KANBAN_COMMENT_SCHEMA). This is
defense-in-depth: render with an explicit 'comment from worker
`<author>` at <ts>:' prefix so even 'hermes-system' resolves to
'comment from worker `hermes-system` at ...' — parseable as
worker-comment metadata, not a system directive. Strip backticks
from author so they can't break out of the fence.

Update test_build_worker_context_caps_comments to count by body
regex since the rendered author line now also starts with
'comment '.

a33c63b9f8 fix(profiles): honour active_profile when HERMES_HOME points to hermes root
Problem:
After `hermes profile use NAME`, the gateway (started via systemd with
HERMES_HOME=/root/.hermes hardcoded) ignores the active profile and
always runs as the Default profile.  WebUI, Telegram, and all non-CLI
platforms are affected.

Root cause:
_apply_profile_override() contained an early-return guard:

    if profile_name is None and os.environ.get("HERMES_HOME"):
        return   # trust the inherited value

The intent was to let child processes inherit their parent's profile via
HERMES_HOME without redundantly re-reading active_profile.  But
systemd also sets HERMES_HOME — to the hermes root (/root/.hermes),
not a profile directory — so the guard fired and silently skipped the
active_profile check.  The user's `hermes profile use NAME` write to
~/.hermes/active_profile was never seen by the gateway process.

Fix:
Only skip the active_profile check when HERMES_HOME is already a
profile directory, identified by its immediate parent directory being
named "profiles" (e.g. ~/.hermes/profiles/coder or
/opt/data/profiles/coder).  When HERMES_HOME points to a root
directory (parent name != "profiles"), continue to read active_profile.

Tests:
- test_hermes_home_at_root_with_active_profile_is_redirected: the
  bug scenario — HERMES_HOME=/root/.hermes + active_profile=coder →
  HERMES_HOME must be redirected to .../profiles/coder.
  Stash-verified: FAILS without fix, PASSES with fix.
- test_hermes_home_already_profile_dir_is_trusted: child-process
  inheritance contract unchanged — .../profiles/coder is trusted as-is.
- test_hermes_home_unset_reads_active_profile: classic path unchanged.
- test_hermes_home_unset_default_profile_no_redirect: "default" still
  produces no redirect.
4/4 tests green.

When platform_toolsets[<platform>] contains both a composite (e.g.

composite, leaving sessions with only the configurable + plugin tools
and no native tools (terminal, file, web, browser, memory, etc.).

Mirror the else-branch's subset inference for composites that sit

Enforce the parent-completion invariant at claim_task (the single

ahead of in-progress parents under the create-then-link race.

Also adds a stress test that races concurrent create+link against
hammered claim_task and asserts no child runs while any parent is undone.

feat(plugins): HERMES_PLUGINS_DEBUG=1 surfaces plugin discovery logs (#22684)
Plugin authors had no easy way to figure out why their plugin wasn't
loading — failures were buried in agent.log at WARNING and skip reasons
(disabled, not enabled, depth cap, exclusive) were DEBUG-only and
invisible by default.

Set HERMES_PLUGINS_DEBUG=1 to attach a stderr handler at DEBUG to the
hermes_cli.plugins logger only. Surfaces:

  - which directories were scanned + manifest counts per source
  - per manifest: resolved key, name, kind, source, on-disk path
  - skip reasons (disabled, not enabled, exclusive, depth cap, no register)
  - per load: tools/hooks/slash/CLI commands the plugin registered
  - full traceback on YAML parse failure (exc_info on the existing warning)
  - full traceback on register() exceptions, pointing at the plugin author's line

Env var off (default) → zero new stderr output, same as before.

Touches only hermes_cli/plugins.py + a doc section in the plugin-build
guide + an entry in the env-vars reference. 3 new tests lock the
attach/idempotent/no-attach behavior.

0c22434f03 fix(kanban): call recompute_ready after unlink_tasks removes a dependency
Problem:
unlink_tasks() removes a parent→child dependency edge but does not trigger
recompute_ready().  A child whose last blocking parent is unlinked stays
stuck in 'todo' indefinitely — it only promotes to 'ready' on the next
dispatcher tick or a manual 'hermes kanban recompute'.  For CLI-only users
without a dispatcher, the child is permanently stuck.

Root cause:
complete_task() and unblock_task() both call recompute_ready() after their
write transaction so downstream children are evaluated immediately.
unlink_tasks() was missing this call — removing a dependency is
semantically equivalent to completing one, so the same recompute is needed.

Fix:
Capture the rowcount result before the write_txn exits, then call
recompute_ready(conn) outside the transaction when a row was actually
deleted (so the child sees the updated task_links state).

Tests:
Added test_unlink_tasks_triggers_recompute_ready in
tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_db.py: creates parent A (done) + parent C
(running), child B with both parents (todo), unlinks C→B, asserts B is
ready immediately.  Stash-verified: FAILS without fix (child stays todo),
PASSES with fix.
62/62 tests green in tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_db.py.

feat: confirm prompt for destructive slash commands (#4069) (#22687)
/clear, /new, /reset, and /undo now ask the user to confirm before
discarding conversation state — three-option prompt routed through the
existing tools.slash_confirm primitive.

Native yes/no buttons render on Telegram, Discord, and Slack (their
adapters already implement send_slash_confirm); other platforms get a
text-fallback prompt and reply with /approve, /always, or /cancel.

The classic prompt_toolkit CLI uses the same three-option flow via the
established _prompt_text_input pattern (see _confirm_and_reload_mcp).
TUI keeps its existing modal overlay (#12312).

Gated by new config key approvals.destructive_slash_confirm (default
true). Picking 'Always Approve' flips the gate to false so subsequent
destructive commands run silently — matches the established
mcp_reload_confirm UX.

Out of scope: /cron remove (separate domain — scheduled jobs, not
session history). Existing TUI overlay env-var (HERMES_TUI_NO_CONFIRM)
left unchanged; cosmetic unification can come later.

Closes #4069.

cca2869d78 fix(banner): resolve update-check repo from running code, not profile-scoped path
check_for_updates() and _resolve_repo_dir() were preferring
$HERMES_HOME/hermes-agent/ over Path(__file__).parent.parent.resolve()
when looking for a .git checkout.  For profiles created with
--clone-all, $HERMES_HOME/hermes-agent/ points to a stale copy
with a frozen HEAD, causing persistent "N commits behind" banners
that never resolved.

Flip the resolution order: prefer the running code's location first,
fall back to $HERMES_HOME/hermes-agent/ only when the live checkout
doesn't have a .git (system-wide pip installs, distro packages).

The embedded-rev branch (HERMES_REVISION env var, set by nix builds)
is unaffected — it uses git ls-remote against upstream, never reads
the local checkout's HEAD.

f7e514d4ad fix(profiles): exclude infrastructure artifacts when cloning with --clone-all
When the source profile is the default (~/.hermes), shutil.copytree()
was copying multi-GB infrastructure alongside the ~40 MB of actual
profile data: hermes-agent/ (repo checkout + 3 GB venv), .worktrees/,
profiles/ (sibling profiles — recursive!), bin/ (installed binaries),
node_modules/ (hundreds of MB).

Add _CLONE_ALL_DEFAULT_EXCLUDE_ROOT frozenset with these five entries
and pass an ignore callback to copytree().  Exclusions are gated on
the source actually being the default profile (is_default_source) so
named-profile sources are never affected.

Also exclude at any depth: __pycache__/, *.pyc, *.pyo, *.sock, *.tmp.
Profile data (config.yaml, .env, auth.json, state.db, sessions/,
skills/, logs/) is preserved intact — clone-all means 'complete
snapshot minus infrastructure'.

Mirrors the approach already used by _default_export_ignore() and
_DEFAULT_EXPORT_EXCLUDE_ROOT (the export-side exclusion set which is
broader because it produces a portable archive, not a live clone).

4a1840e683 fix(async): replace get_event_loop() with get_running_loop() in async contexts
Follow-up to PR #21293 (cli.py), which fixed the same anti-pattern.
`asyncio.get_event_loop()` is documented as effectively "always returns
the running loop when called from a coroutine" and emits
DeprecationWarning/RuntimeWarning in some interpreter configurations.
The Python docs explicitly recommend get_running_loop() inside coroutines.

Replaces the remaining 9 call sites that are unconditionally inside
async def bodies:

- tools/browser_cdp_tool.py — _cdp_call() (4 sites): deadline + remaining
  computations inside the async websockets.connect context manager.
- hermes_cli/web_server.py — get_status, _start_device_code_flow,
  submit_oauth_code (3 sites): all FastAPI async endpoints offloading
  blocking httpx / PKCE work to run_in_executor.
- environments/agent_loop.py — HermesAgentLoop (1 site): tool dispatch
  inside the async rollout loop.
- environments/benchmarks/terminalbench_2/terminalbench2_env.py —
  rollout_and_score_eval (1 site): test verification thread offload.

All 9 sites are unconditionally inside async def bodies, so a running
loop is guaranteed and no try/except RuntimeError fallback is needed
(unlike the cli.py case in #21293, which ran from a background thread).

Behavior is identical on supported Python versions; aligns the codebase
with the post-#21293 idiom and avoids future warnings as the deprecation
hardens.

Salvaged from PR #21930 by @Zhekinmaksim onto current main (the
original branch was 109 commits behind and carried unintended
stale-branch reverts of unrelated landed changes — _tail_lines
encoding=utf-8 and the Windows PTY bridge guard). Only the 9 swaps
from the PR's intended scope are applied here.

fix(sqlite): fall back to journal_mode=DELETE on NFS/SMB/FUSE (#22043)
SQLite's WAL mode requires shared-memory (mmap) coordination and fcntl
byte-range locks that don't reliably work on network filesystems. Upstream
documents this explicitly:
  https://www.sqlite.org/wal.html#sometimes_queries_return_sqlite_busy_in_wal_mode

On NFS / SMB / some FUSE mounts / WSL1, 'PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL' raises
'sqlite3.OperationalError: locking protocol' (SQLITE_PROTOCOL). Before
this change, every feature backed by state.db or kanban.db broke silently:
  - /resume, /title, /history, /branch returned 'Session database not
    available.' with no cause
  - gateway logged the init failure at DEBUG (invisible in errors.log)
  - kanban dispatcher crashed every 60s, driving the known migration race
    (duplicate column name: consecutive_failures, #21708 / #21374)

Changes:
  - hermes_state.apply_wal_with_fallback(): shared helper that tries WAL
    and falls back to DELETE on SQLITE_PROTOCOL-style errors with one
    WARNING explaining why
  - hermes_state.get_last_init_error() + format_session_db_unavailable():
    capture the init failure cause and surface it in user-facing strings
    (with an NFS/SMB pointer for 'locking protocol')
  - hermes_cli/kanban_db.connect(): use the shared helper
  - gateway/run.py: bump SessionDB init failure log DEBUG -> WARNING
    (matches cli.py's existing correct behavior)
  - cli.py (4 sites) + gateway/run.py (5 sites): replace bare
    'Session database not available.' with format_session_db_unavailable()

Tests: 12 new tests in tests/test_hermes_state_wal_fallback.py + 1 new
test in tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_db.py. Existing suites (state,
kanban, gateway, cli) remain green for all tests unrelated to pre-existing
failures on main.

Evidence: real-world user on NFSv3 mount (172.26.224.200:d2dfac12/home,
local_lock=none) reporting 'Session database not available.' on /resume;
'locking protocol' appears in 4 distinct log entries across backup,
kanban, TUI, and CLI paths in the same session.

f5b635f6ab feat(cli): recognise Shift+Enter as a newline key
Closes #5346.

Most terminals send the same byte sequence for `Enter` and `Shift+Enter`
by default, so the application can't tell them apart — this is a terminal
protocol limitation, not something Hermes can paper over. But terminals
that implement the Kitty keyboard protocol (Kitty / foot / WezTerm /
Ghostty by default; iTerm2 / Alacritty / VS Code terminal / Warp once the
protocol is enabled) DO emit a distinct sequence for `Shift+Enter`:

  - `\x1b[13;2u`     — Kitty / CSI-u, modifier=2
  - `\x1b[27;2;13~`  — xterm modifyOtherKeys=2

Stock prompt_toolkit doesn't have the CSI-u sequence in its
`ANSI_SEQUENCES` table at all, and it maps the modifyOtherKeys variant to
plain `Keys.ControlM` (Enter) — i.e. it strips the Shift modifier, which
is the bug users actually hit on iTerm2 and friends.

This PR adds `hermes_cli/pt_input_extras.install_shift_enter_alias()`,
called once at CLI startup from `cli.py`, which inserts/overwrites those
sequences in `ANSI_SEQUENCES` so they decode to `(Keys.Escape, Keys.ControlM)`
— the same key tuple `Alt+Enter` produces. The existing Alt+Enter newline
handler (`@kb.add('escape', 'enter')` in `cli.py`) then fires unchanged,
so there is no new keybinding to register and no behavioral change for
terminals that don't emit the distinct sequences.

Files
=====

* `hermes_cli/pt_input_extras.py` — new module hosting the helper. Lives
  outside `cli.py` so it's importable in tests without dragging in the
  full CLI runtime (which depends on `fire`, `rich`, etc.).
* `cli.py` — calls `install_shift_enter_alias()` once at module import.
  Wrapped in try/except so prompt_toolkit version drift can't break CLI
  startup.
* `tests/cli/test_cli_shift_enter_newline.py` — 6 tests:
  - registration of all three byte sequences
  - overwrite of stock prompt_toolkit's broken modifyOtherKeys mapping
  - idempotency
  - parser equivalence: CSI-u Shift+Enter == Alt+Enter
  - parser equivalence: modifyOtherKeys Shift+Enter == Alt+Enter
  - plain Enter remains a single key (submit), distinct from the two-key
    Alt+Enter / Shift+Enter tuple
* `website/docs/user-guide/cli.md` — keybinding table updated; new
  "Shift+Enter compatibility" subsection with a per-terminal status table
  noting macOS Terminal / stock Windows Terminal cannot distinguish the
  keystroke at the protocol level.
* `website/docs/getting-started/quickstart.md`,
  `website/docs/guides/tips.md` — short mention pointing readers at the
  full compatibility note in `cli.md`.

Tested
======

  pytest tests/cli/test_cli_shift_enter_newline.py        # 6 passed

Live-tested by triggering `\x1b[13;2u` against the running Vt100Parser
(see test). Not exercised in a real terminal end-to-end because that
requires a Kitty-protocol-capable host; the test exercises the parser
path that drives the live terminal too.

fix(update): bypass systemd RestartSec after graceful drain (#22101)
After a clean SIGUSR1 drain, cmd_update passively polled for systemd's
auto-restart to fire. Our unit file sets RestartSec=60 (a crash-loop
guard), so the voluntary-restart path waited a full minute of dead air
before the gateway came back — the user saw 'draining (up to 75s)...'
and stared at it.

Change: after the drain exits with code 75, call 'reset-failed' +
'start' explicitly. Manual start bypasses RestartSec entirely
(RestartSec only governs systemd's own auto-restart logic). Takes
about as long as the gateway needs to come up (~1-3s on a warm box)
instead of ~60s.

The RestartSec=60 default stays — it's the right crash-loop guard for
actual crashes. This only short-circuits the voluntary-restart path.

Matches the pattern already used in 'hermes gateway restart'
(systemd_restart() in hermes_cli/gateway.py, PR #20949).

Tests:
- tests/hermes_cli/test_update_gateway_restart.py: new
  test_update_bypasses_restartsec_after_graceful_drain asserts both
  'reset-failed hermes-gateway' AND 'start hermes-gateway' (NOT
  'restart') are issued after a successful graceful drain.
- All existing tests in the affected classes still pass
  (TestCmdUpdateLaunchdRestart, TestCmdUpdateResetFailedBeforeRestart
  are green; one pre-existing flake in the latter is unrelated).

perf(cli): skip eager plugin discovery on known built-in subcommands (#22120)
`hermes --help` drops from ~700ms to ~180ms; `hermes version` from
~950ms to ~240ms. ~4-5x startup speedup on inspection / diagnostic
invocations.

Changes:
- hermes_cli/main.py: gate the argparse-setup `discover_plugins()` call
  behind `_plugin_cli_discovery_needed()`. Eager plugin imports
  (google.cloud.pubsub_v1, aiohttp, grpc, PIL) cost 500-650ms and are
  pure waste when the user is running a built-in subcommand that
  doesn't take plugin extensions (`--help`, `version`, `logs`,
  `config`, `sessions`, etc.). New `_BUILTIN_SUBCOMMANDS` frozenset
  + `_first_positional_argv` helper handle flag-value skipping
  (`-m gpt5 chat` → still fast).
- hermes_cli/main.py: `cmd_version` now reads the OpenAI SDK version
  via `importlib.metadata` (~2ms) instead of `import openai` (~800ms
  of pydantic type-module loading).

Agent-running paths (`hermes chat`, `hermes gateway run`) are
unaffected — the second `discover_plugins()` call later in `main()`
still runs so plugin hooks / tools wire up normally.

Tests:
- tests/hermes_cli/test_startup_plugin_gating.py: parity test guards
  the `_BUILTIN_SUBCOMMANDS` set against drift (every registered
  subparser must be declared; no phantom entries). Behavior tests for
  flag-value skipping, `--` terminator, inline `--flag=value` form.
  37 tests.

fix(setup): offer gateway service install on Windows (#22099)
Both setup wizards (hermes setup and hermes gateway setup) gated the
service install/start/restart prompts behind 'supports_systemd or
is_macos()' and fell through to 'run in foreground' on Windows, even
though _is_service_installed() / _is_service_running() already call
gateway_windows.is_installed() and the Windows backend has a full
install/start/stop/restart contract.

Wire the Windows branch into both wizards:
- supports_service_manager now includes is_windows().
- Install offer reads 'Scheduled Task service' on Windows.
- install() on Windows starts the task inline via schtasks /Run (or
  direct-spawn fallback) so the separate 'Start the service now?'
  prompt is skipped.
- Start and Restart delegate to gateway_windows.start() / .restart().

fix(entry-points): guard hermes_bootstrap import so partial updates don't brick hermes (#22091)
teknium1 hit ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hermes_bootstrap' after
a code update, on both his Windows machine AND his Linux workstation.  The
failure mode is real and affects every user who updates hermes by any path
OTHER than a fully-successful ``hermes update``.

## What happens

hermes_bootstrap.py is a top-level module registered via pyproject.toml's
``py-modules`` list (added by Brooklyn's Windows UTF-8 stdio work).  It
must be registered in the venv's editable-install .pth file before Python
can find it as a bare ``import hermes_bootstrap``.

``hermes update`` handles this correctly: (1) git reset --hard, (2) clear
__pycache__, (3) uv pip install -e . (re-registers the package including
the new py-modules list), (4) restart.

BUT if any step AFTER (1) fails — network blip during pip install, PEP 668
on a system Python, venv locked, uv not in PATH, a crash mid-update — the
user is left with new code that references hermes_bootstrap and a venv
that doesn't know about it.  Every hermes invocation after that crashes
with ModuleNotFoundError, including ``hermes update`` itself.  No recovery
path without manual `uv pip install -e .`.

Also affects users who ``git pull`` the repo directly without running
hermes update — relatively common for developers.

## Fix

Wrap ``import hermes_bootstrap`` in a try/except ModuleNotFoundError
across all 6 entry points (hermes_cli/main, run_agent, gateway/run,
acp_adapter/entry, cli, batch_runner).  On Windows, missing bootstrap
means the UTF-8 stdio setup doesn't run — degraded behavior (Unicode
chars may fail to print) but NOT a crash.  POSIX is unaffected either way
since the bootstrap is a no-op there.

Once hermes is running again, the user can ``hermes update`` to fully
recover.

## Test update

tests/test_hermes_bootstrap.py::test_entry_point_imports_bootstrap
scans for the first top-level import in each entry point and asserts it
is hermes_bootstrap.  Extended the check to accept a Try block whose body
is a lone Import of hermes_bootstrap — that's the recovery-friendly form
we just introduced.

Verified behavior by ``mv hermes_bootstrap.py hermes_bootstrap.py.bak``
and confirming ``python -c "import hermes_cli.main"`` succeeds.  82/82
tests pass (hermes_bootstrap + windows-native + windows-compat).

35fce7699e feat(windows uninstall): clean up User env, PATH, Scheduled Task, and portable tooling
`hermes uninstall` was POSIX-only.  On Windows it would leave four classes
of installer debris behind that the user had to scrub manually:

1. Scheduled Task and/or Startup-folder .cmd entry that installer.ps1
   dropped for `hermes gateway install`.  Left running at next logon
   even after uninstall, pointing at deleted code paths.
2. User-scope PATH entries for the Hermes venv, PortableGit (cmd, bin,
   usr\bin), and bundled Node, all written to HKCU\Environment\Path.
3. User-scope env vars HERMES_HOME and HERMES_GIT_BASH_PATH, same
   registry key.
4. PortableGit and Node copies under %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\ (~200MB),
   plus gateway-service/ scratch dir.

Fixes:

- `uninstall_gateway_service()` gets a Windows branch that calls into
  `gateway_windows.stop()` + `gateway_windows.uninstall()`, which already
  know how to remove both schtasks entries and Startup-folder .cmd files
  and how to stop any running detached pythonw gateway.
- `remove_path_from_windows_registry(hermes_home)` reads HKCU\Environment
  via winreg, strips any PATH entry whose path-prefix matches the
  installer-owned markers (\hermes-agent, \git, \node, \venv under the
  current HERMES_HOME), and writes the cleaned value back.  Preserves
  REG_EXPAND_SZ vs REG_SZ so unexpanded %VARS% in the user's PATH
  survive.  No PowerShell subprocess, no fragile `reg query` parsing.
- `remove_hermes_env_vars_windows()` deletes HERMES_HOME and
  HERMES_GIT_BASH_PATH from the same key.
- `remove_portable_tooling_windows(hermes_home)` rmtree's
  `hermes_home/git`, `hermes_home/node`, `hermes_home/gateway-service`
  — they're installer artifacts, not user data, so they get removed in
  BOTH "keep data" and "full uninstall" modes.

Wired these into `run_uninstall()` guarded by `_is_windows()` so
POSIX paths are untouched.  Also fixed the closing "Reload your shell"
footer to point Windows users at opening a new terminal (PATH changes
don't propagate into the current PowerShell session) with the
PowerShell install one-liner instead of bash's curl-pipe.

Verified on Delta-1 (Windows 10) via preview script: correctly
identifies 4 Hermes-installed PATH entries out of 13 total to remove,
leaves Python/LM Studio/ripgrep/ffmpeg/winget entries alone.

0548facc50 fix(windows): gateway status dedup + install.ps1 platform-SDK bootstrap
## Two residual Windows fixes that were hanging from earlier commits.

### 1. `hermes gateway status` reported 2 PIDs per gateway — TWO bugs compounded

Diagnosed with psutil parent/child walk against live gateway PIDs:

**Bug A (the real one): `_get_parent_pid` silently failed on Windows.**
The helper shelled out to `ps -o ppid= -p <pid>`, which doesn't exist
on Windows — `FileNotFoundError` → returns `None` → the ancestor walk
terminated at `os.getpid()` alone.  Consequence: the PID table scan in
`_scan_gateway_pids` couldn't filter out `hermes gateway status`'s own
launcher stub (a venv `pythonw.exe`/`python.exe` that matches the same
`-m hermes_cli.main gateway` pattern as the gateway).  Every status
call saw "itself" as a second gateway.

Fix: `_get_parent_pid` now calls `psutil.Process(pid).ppid()` first
(psutil is a core dependency since 3dfb35700) and falls back to `ps`
only when `shutil.which("ps")` succeeds — matching the Windows-footgun
checker's "always guard `ps` / `wmic` / etc. with `shutil.which`" rule.

Before: `Gateway process running (PID: 21952, 46880)` — 46880 changing
on every call (the status invocation's own launcher, which died by the
time the next status call looked).

After (5 consecutive calls):
```
✓ Gateway process running (PID: 21952)
✓ Gateway process running (PID: 21952)
✓ Gateway process running (PID: 21952)
✓ Gateway process running (PID: 21952)
✓ Gateway process running (PID: 21952)
```

Ancestor walk on the fix: 14 PIDs (full chain through bash/explorer)
instead of the broken 1-PID set.

**Bug B (the cosmetic one): venv-launcher dedup.** Standard Windows
CPython venv behaviour is that `<venv>/Scripts/pythonw.exe` is a ~5 MB
launcher stub that spawns the base Python (`C:\\Program Files\\Python311
\\pythonw.exe`) with the same command line and waits.  Our process
scanner sees two PIDs for every gateway: launcher + interpreter, same
cmdline.  Bug A masked this by accidentally counting the status call
AS one of them; with Bug A fixed, we see both the real launcher and
real interpreter for the gateway process itself.

Fix: `_filter_venv_launcher_stubs` at the tail of `_scan_gateway_pids`
walks each matched PID's ppid via psutil.  Any PID that's the PARENT
of another matched PID is a launcher stub — drop it, keep the child.
Scoped to Windows (`is_windows() and len(pids) > 1`) and no-ops when
psutil isn't importable.

Net effect: `gateway status` now reports one PID per gateway — the
interpreter — matching POSIX behaviour and user expectations.

### 2. `install.ps1`: bootstrap pip + auto-install platform SDKs

New `Install-PlatformSdks` function wired between `Invoke-SetupWizard`
and `Start-GatewayIfConfigured`.  Fixes two related issues on fresh
Windows installs:

1. The tiered `uv pip install` cascade (introduced in 87fca8342)
   correctly falls through when tier 1 `.[all]` fails on the RL git
   deps, but the fallback tiers can silently skip SDKs from `[messaging]`
   when there's a partial-resolve.  Result: user sets `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN`
   in `.env`, fires up gateway, hits "discord module not installed".

2. `uv` creates venvs WITHOUT pip by default, so the user's escape
   hatch (`pip install discord.py` in the venv) doesn't exist either.

The new function:
- Skips if `-NoVenv` (nothing to bootstrap into).
- Scans `~/.hermes/.env` for messaging tokens (TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN,
  DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN, SLACK_BOT_TOKEN, SLACK_APP_TOKEN, WHATSAPP_ENABLED),
  filtering placeholder values.
- For each token that's set, runs `python -c "import <sdk>"` to verify.
- If any import fails: runs `python -m ensurepip --upgrade` to bootstrap
  pip into the venv (idempotent — no-ops if pip is already present),
  then `pip install <spec>` for each missing SDK with specs mirroring
  pyproject.toml's `[messaging]` extra to avoid version drift.

The `$ErrorActionPreference = "SilentlyContinue"` spans are not
cosmetic — PowerShell wraps native-stderr from a non-zero-exit
subprocess as a `NativeCommandError` that prints even through
`*> $null` / `2>$null`.  Save + restore EAP over the import-probe
and pip-install blocks keeps the output clean.

Verified on this Windows 10 box:
- Initial state: telegram+fastapi+psutil present, discord+slack_sdk
  missing (tier 1 `.[all]` had failed — `.tirith-install-failed`
  marker in `%LOCALAPPDATA%\\hermes`).
- First run with discord+slack tokens in .env: detects both missing,
  ensurepip (skipped — pip was already bootstrapped earlier this
  session for telegram), installs `discord.py[voice]==2.7.1` +
  `PyNaCl` + `davey`, installs `slack-sdk==3.41.0`. All imports
  succeed on verify.
- Second run: all three SDKs report OK, function no-ops.

Pip spec strings mirror pyproject.toml's `[messaging]` extra verbatim
so a bump to the extra picks up here automatically — no drift.

### Files

- `hermes_cli/gateway.py`: `_get_parent_pid` rewritten (psutil-first);
  `_filter_venv_launcher_stubs` added; `_scan_gateway_pids` dedups
  launchers on Windows when it finds >1 match.
- `scripts/install.ps1`: new `Install-PlatformSdks` function (~85
  lines); wired into the main flow at line 1438.

### Verification

- `venv/Scripts/python.exe scripts/check-windows-footguns.py --all`
  → `✓ No Windows footguns found (380 file(s) scanned).`
- `ast.parse` passes on gateway.py.
- `[System.Management.Automation.Language.Parser]::ParseFile` passes
  on install.ps1.
- Live gateway (PID 21952, running since 12:33 today) survived 5x
  stress loop of `hermes gateway status` without dying.

cc38282b04 feat(cross-platform): psutil for PID/process management + Windows footgun checker
## Why

Hermes supports Linux, macOS, and native Windows, but the codebase grew up
POSIX-first and has accumulated patterns that silently break (or worse,
silently kill!) on Windows:

- `os.kill(pid, 0)` as a liveness probe — on Windows this maps to
  CTRL_C_EVENT and broadcasts Ctrl+C to the target's entire console
  process group (bpo-14484, open since 2012).
- `os.killpg` — doesn't exist on Windows at all (AttributeError).
- `os.setsid` / `os.getuid` / `os.geteuid` — same.
- `signal.SIGKILL` / `signal.SIGHUP` / `signal.SIGUSR1` — module-attr
  errors at runtime on Windows.
- `open(path)` / `open(path, "r")` without explicit encoding= — inherits
  the platform default, which is cp1252/mbcs on Windows (UTF-8 on POSIX),
  causing mojibake round-tripping between hosts.
- `wmic` — removed from Windows 10 21H1+.

This commit does three things:

1. Makes `psutil` a core dependency and migrates critical callsites to it.
2. Adds a grep-based CI gate (`scripts/check-windows-footguns.py`) that
   blocks new instances of any of the above patterns.
3. Fixes every existing instance in the codebase so the baseline is clean.

## What changed

### 1. psutil as a core dependency (pyproject.toml)

Added `psutil>=5.9.0,<8` to core deps. psutil is the canonical
cross-platform answer for "is this PID alive" and "kill this process
tree" — its `pid_exists()` uses `OpenProcess + GetExitCodeProcess` on
Windows (NOT a signal call), and its `Process.children(recursive=True)`
+ `.kill()` combo replaces `os.killpg()` portably.

### 2. `gateway/status.py::_pid_exists`

Rewrote to call `psutil.pid_exists()` first, falling back to the
hand-rolled ctypes `OpenProcess + WaitForSingleObject` dance on Windows
(and `os.kill(pid, 0)` on POSIX) only if psutil is somehow missing —
e.g. during the scaffold phase of a fresh install before pip finishes.

### 3. `os.killpg` migration to psutil (7 callsites, 5 files)

- `tools/code_execution_tool.py`
- `tools/process_registry.py`
- `tools/tts_tool.py`
- `tools/environments/local.py` (3 sites kept as-is, suppressed with
  `# windows-footgun: ok` — the pgid semantics psutil can't replicate,
  and the calls are already Windows-guarded at the outer branch)
- `gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py`

### 4. `scripts/check-windows-footguns.py` (NEW, 500 lines)

Grep-based checker with 11 rules covering every Windows cross-platform
footgun we've hit so far:

1. `os.kill(pid, 0)` — the silent killer
2. `os.setsid` without guard
3. `os.killpg` (recommends psutil)
4. `os.getuid` / `os.geteuid` / `os.getgid`
5. `os.fork`
6. `signal.SIGKILL`
7. `signal.SIGHUP/SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2/SIGALRM/SIGCHLD/SIGPIPE/SIGQUIT`
8. `subprocess` shebang script invocation
9. `wmic` without `shutil.which` guard
10. Hardcoded `~/Desktop` (OneDrive trap)
11. `asyncio.add_signal_handler` without try/except
12. `open()` without `encoding=` on text mode

Features:
- Triple-quoted-docstring aware (won't flag prose inside docstrings)
- Trailing-comment aware (won't flag mentions in `# os.kill(pid, 0)` comments)
- Guard-hint aware (skips lines with `hasattr(os, ...)`,
  `shutil.which(...)`, `if platform.system() != 'Windows'`, etc.)
- Inline suppression with `# windows-footgun: ok — <reason>`
- `--list` to print all rules with fixes
- `--all` / `--diff <ref>` / staged-files (default) modes
- Scans 380 files in under 2 seconds

### 5. CI integration

A GitHub Actions workflow that runs the checker on every PR and push is
staged at `/tmp/hermes-stash/windows-footguns.yml` — not included in this
commit because the GH token on the push machine lacks `workflow` scope.
A maintainer with `workflow` permissions should add it as
`.github/workflows/windows-footguns.yml` in a follow-up. Content:

```yaml
name: Windows footgun check
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]
jobs:
  check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-python@v5
        with: {python-version: "3.11"}
      - run: python scripts/check-windows-footguns.py --all
```

### 6. CONTRIBUTING.md — "Cross-Platform Compatibility" expansion

Expanded from 5 to 16 rules, each with message, example, and fix.
Recommends psutil as the preferred API for PID / process-tree operations.

### 7. Baseline cleanup (91 → 0 findings)

- 14 `open()` sites → added `encoding='utf-8'` (internal logs/caches) or
  `encoding='utf-8-sig'` (user-editable files that Notepad may BOM)
- 23 POSIX-only callsites in systemd helpers, pty_bridge, and plugin
  tool subprocess management → annotated with
  `# windows-footgun: ok — <reason>`
- 7 `os.killpg` sites → migrated to psutil (see §3 above)

## Verification

```
$ python scripts/check-windows-footguns.py --all
✓ No Windows footguns found (380 file(s) scanned).

$ python -c "from gateway.status import _pid_exists; import os
> print('self:', _pid_exists(os.getpid())); print('bogus:', _pid_exists(999999))"
self: True
bogus: False
```

Proof-of-repro that `os.kill(pid, 0)` was actually killing processes
before this fix — see commit `1cbe39914` and bpo-14484. This commit
removes the last hand-rolled ctypes path from the hot liveness-check
path and defers to the best-maintained cross-platform answer.

324567c936 fix(windows): os.kill(pid, 0) is NOT a no-op on Windows — route through new _pid_exists helper
On Windows, Python's ``os.kill(pid, 0)`` is NOT a no-op. CPython's
implementation (``Modules/posixmodule.c::os_kill_impl``) treats sig=0
as ``CTRL_C_EVENT`` because the two integer values collide at the C
layer, and routes it through ``GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent(0, pid)`` —
which sends a Ctrl+C to the ENTIRE console process group containing
the target PID, not just the PID itself. Any caller that wanted to
check "is PID X alive" via the classic POSIX ``os.kill(pid, 0)``
idiom was silently killing that process (and often unrelated
processes in the same console group) on Windows. Long-standing
Python Windows quirk; see bpo-14484 (open since 2012).

This manifested in Hermes as: every ``hermes gateway status``
invocation would read the gateway's PID from the PID file, call
``os.kill(pid, 0)`` via ``gateway.status.get_running_pid()`` as a
"liveness check", and instantly terminate the gateway it was trying
to report on. No shutdown log, no traceback, no atexit hook fire,
no exit-diag entry — just silent termination of the detached pythonw
process. "Bot answered one message then stopped typing" was the
characteristic end-user symptom because `os.kill(pid, 0)` fires
mid-response-send and kills the gateway between logs.

Reproduction (verified in this branch before the fix):

  $ hermes gateway start       # gateway alive, PID 37520
  $ hermes gateway status      # reports "No gateway process detected"
  $ tasklist /FI "PID eq 37520"  # INFO: No tasks are running
                                 # — gateway terminated silently

Root-cause fix is a new ``gateway.status._pid_exists(pid)`` helper:

- On Windows: Win32 ``OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION |
  SYNCHRONIZE, False, pid)`` + ``WaitForSingleObject(handle, 0)``
  via ctypes. Zero signal delivery, zero console-group side effects.
  Pins ctypes return types to avoid DWORD-vs-signed-int parse bugs
  on WAIT_TIMEOUT (0x102). Distinguishes ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
  (PID gone) from ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (alive but another user).
- On POSIX: the canonical ``os.kill(pid, 0)`` idiom that actually is
  a no-op there.

Then patch every ``os.kill(pid, 0)`` liveness-check callsite to
route through ``_pid_exists`` instead. Total 14 callsites across
11 files; every single one was a latent silent-kill on Windows:

  gateway/run.py:2810      — /restart watcher (inline subprocess)
  gateway/run.py:15195     — --replace wait loop
  gateway/status.py:572    — acquire_gateway_runtime_lock stale check
  gateway/status.py:828    — get_running_pid (THE killer for status)
  gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py:111
  hermes_cli/gateway.py:228, 522, 1012  — gateway-related drain loops
  hermes_cli/kanban_db.py:2826         — _pid_alive was claiming to
                                         be cross-platform but used
                                         os.kill(pid, 0) on Windows
  hermes_cli/main.py:5792        — CLI process-kill polling
  hermes_cli/profiles.py:782     — profile stop wait loop
  plugins/google_meet/process_manager.py:74
  tools/browser_tool.py:1215, 1255  — browser daemon ownership probes
  tools/mcp_tool.py:1255, 3374     — MCP stdio orphan tracking

The watcher source in gateway/run.py:2810 is a multi-line string
that gets spawned as an inline ``python -c "..."`` subprocess, so
it can't import gateway.status. The fix for that callsite inlines
the same ctypes probe directly into the watcher source.

Tested on Windows 10 with the hermes gateway + Telegram bot:
- gateway start → alive
- 5 consecutive ``hermes gateway status`` invocations → gateway
  alive after every one, same PID reported each time (37520, 21952)
- gateway.log shows uninterrupted operation; no spurious shutdown
  entries; cron ticker and kanban dispatcher still running on
  their 60-second cadence
- bot continues answering Telegram messages throughout

Ships alongside an exit-path diagnostic wrapper in
``hermes_cli/gateway.py::run_gateway()`` that captures every way
``asyncio.run(start_gateway(...))`` can return (success, SystemExit,
KeyboardInterrupt, BaseException, atexit) with full traceback to
``logs/gateway-exit-diag.log``. This was used to prove the gateway
was being hard-killed externally (no exit event fired) and should
be kept for future Windows debugging.

9c263fbf8a feat(windows): gateway as a Scheduled Task + Startup-folder fallback
Hermes gateway now installs as a real Windows service via
`hermes gateway install`, auto-starts on user logon, and stays running
across reboots. Mirrors the launchd (macOS) / systemd (Linux) contract
so the rest of the CLI dispatcher just plugs into the same `install /
uninstall / start / stop / restart / status` entrypoints.

Primary implementation is the new `hermes_cli/gateway_windows.py`:

- `schtasks /Create /SC ONLOGON /RL LIMITED /RU <user> /NP /IT` creates
  a per-user Scheduled Task running as the current user at next logon,
  with no UAC prompt and no stored password. Same pattern OpenClaw uses.
- When `schtasks /Create` returns "Access is denied" or times out
  (locked-down corporate boxes, 15s/30s hard + no-output cutoffs),
  fall back to writing a `.cmd` file into
  `%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\`, which
  Windows Explorer fires at every logon. Either path produces the same
  end-user experience.
- `_spawn_detached()` launches `pythonw.exe -m hermes_cli.main gateway
  run --replace` directly with `DETACHED_PROCESS |
  CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP | CREATE_NO_WINDOW |
  CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB` + DEVNULL stdio + sidecar
  `logs/gateway-stdio.log`. Going through pythonw.exe (no console)
  instead of a cmd.exe shim is what lets the gateway survive the
  spawning shell's exit on Windows — documented in
  `references/windows-subprocess-sigint-storm.md`.
- Two separate quoting helpers for cmd.exe vs schtasks (`/TR` argument)
  — they're different parsers and mixing breaks both. Same split
  OpenClaw documents in src/daemon/schtasks.ts.
- `_wait_for_gateway_ready()` + `_report_gateway_start()` poll for a
  live gateway process after spawn and report the PID, so install
  doesn't lie about success.

Dispatcher wiring in `hermes_cli/gateway.py`:

- `_gateway_command_inner()` gets Windows branches for install /
  uninstall / start / stop / restart / status + `_is_service_installed`
  + `_is_service_running`. `gateway status` output + suggested
  commands now mention `hermes gateway install` instead of
  `sudo hermes gateway install --system` on Windows.

Two separable Windows fixes that only matter for a working
detached gateway, bundled here because shipping them independently
leaves install broken:

(1) Spurious CTRL_C_EVENT on detached pythonw runs. When the gateway
is launched detached on Windows, something on the boot path (HTTPX /
python-telegram-bot / asyncio ProactorEventLoop subprocess plumbing)
synthesizes a Ctrl+C within ~60-90 seconds. Python 3.11 translates it
into KeyboardInterrupt inside `asyncio.run(start_gateway(...))`, the
outer `except KeyboardInterrupt: return` exits cleanly, and the
process dies with no shutdown log — "bot started typing, then
stopped" is the fingerprint because the interrupt fires mid-send.
Fix in `run_gateway()`: when `is_windows()` and stdin is not a TTY,
install `signal.signal(SIGINT, SIG_IGN)` + same for SIGBREAK. Real
console runs have a TTY and skip the absorber, so user Ctrl+C still
works interactively. Same family as commit 449ad952b's browser-tool
SIGINT absorber; cross-referenced in the ref doc.

(2) `wmic process get` is the process-list path used by
`_scan_gateway_pids()` / `find_gateway_pids()`, which power status,
stop, and restart on Windows. `C:\Windows\System32\wbem\WMIC.exe` has
been deprecated since Windows 10 21H1 and is not installed on modern
Win 10/11 boxes, so `find_gateway_pids()` silently returns [] — status
sees no gateway even when one is running. Fix: `shutil.which("wmic")`
first, fall back to PowerShell's `Get-CimInstance Win32_Process`
emitting the same LIST-style `CommandLine=...` / `ProcessId=...` pairs
the downstream parser already handles. Zero behavior change on boxes
where wmic still works.

Verified end-to-end on Windows 10 (Delta-1):
- `hermes gateway install` → falls back to Startup folder (access
  denied on schtasks for this user) + detached pythonw spawn, PID
  reported correctly.
- Gateway connects to Telegram, answers messages, stays alive past
  2min (previously died at ~85s with no shutdown log).
- `hermes gateway stop` + `uninstall` both clean up both tracks.

62b4ebb7db auth: use get_default_hermes_root() for shared nous_auth.json path
Replace hardcoded ~/.hermes/shared/ references with
get_default_hermes_root() / 'shared' so the cross-profile Nous auth
store lands in the correct location on every platform:

- Linux/macOS: ~/.hermes/shared/
- native Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\shared- Docker / custom HERMES_HOME: <root>/shared/

Updates _nous_shared_auth_dir(), the pytest seat-belt in
_nous_shared_store_path(), and the auth_add_command comment to match.
Previously Windows installs wrote to ~/.hermes/shared/ even though the
rest of the CLI uses %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes, so profiles couldn't see
each other's shared credential.

03566e5124 fix(windows): auto-install Playwright Chromium + surface it in doctor
scripts/install.sh runs 'npx playwright install --with-deps chromium'
on every Linux distro after the npm-install step, which is why browser
tools Just Work on Linux.  scripts/install.ps1 never did the equivalent
step, so on native Windows installs check_browser_requirements() in
tools/browser_tool.py would return False (no Chromium under
%LOCALAPPDATA%\ms-playwright) and every browser_* tool got silently
filtered out of the agent's tool schema — no error, no log entry, user
just wondered why the tools didn't exist.

Two-part fix:

1. scripts/install.ps1: after 'npm install' in InstallDir succeeds, run
   'npx playwright install chromium'.  Resolves npx via the same
   execution-policy-aware logic already used for npm (prefer npx.cmd
   next to npmExe, fall back to Get-Command).  Surfaces a warning +
   manual-recovery hint when the install fails, matching install.sh
   behaviour for distros.

2. hermes_cli/doctor.py: after the agent-browser check, lazily import
   tools.browser_tool and reuse the exact same _chromium_installed()
   predicate check_browser_requirements() uses, so the doctor signal
   cannot drift from the runtime gate.  Skip the check when Camofox /
   CDP override / a cloud provider / Lightpanda is configured (those
   bypass local Chromium).  On missing Chromium, the hint is
   platform-correct: '--with-deps' on POSIX, plain 'install chromium'
   on win32.

Verified on Windows 10:
- 'npx playwright install chromium' completes successfully, drops
  Chrome Headless Shell under %LOCALAPPDATA%\ms-playwright
- check_browser_requirements() flips from False -> True
- 'hermes doctor' now prints either '✓ Playwright Chromium (browser
  engine)' or '⚠ Playwright Chromium not installed' + fix command
- tests/hermes_cli/test_doctor.py: 38/38 pass
- tests/tools/test_browser_chromium_check.py: 16/16 pass

d1838041e5 feat: Ctrl+Enter inserts newline on Windows Terminal
Windows Terminal intercepts Alt+Enter for its fullscreen shortcut, leaving
Windows users with no Enter-involving way to insert a newline in the Hermes
prompt. Fix it by reclaiming c-j on Windows only:

- _bind_prompt_submit_keys now binds c-j (LF) to submit only on POSIX, where
  thin PTYs (docker exec, some SSH configs) deliver Enter as LF. On Windows
  plain Enter is always c-m, so c-j is free.
- Windows-only prompt binding: c-j inserts a newline. Windows Terminal sends
  Ctrl+Enter as LF, so the user-facing keystroke is Ctrl+Enter — no terminal
  settings changes required.
- Alt+Enter binding unchanged; still works on mac/Linux/WSL.
- Test TestPromptToolkitTerminalCompatibility::test_lf_enter_binds_to_submit_handler
  split into platform-aware assertions for POSIX vs win32.
- Fixed the Ctrl+J claim in hermes_cli/tips.py (was wrong before this commit
  even on POSIX) to point Windows users at Ctrl+Enter.

Tradeoff: on Windows, raw Ctrl+J (without Enter) also inserts a newline,
since WT collapses Ctrl+Enter and Ctrl+J to the same c-j keycode. No
conflicting Hermes binding existed for Ctrl+J, so this is a harmless side
effect.

cbce5e93fc codebase: add encoding='utf-8' to all bare open() calls (PLW1514)
Closes the last Python-on-Windows UTF-8 exposure by making every
text-mode open() call explicit about its encoding.

Before: on Windows, bare open(path, 'r') defaults to the system
locale encoding (cp1252 on US-locale installs).  That means reading
any config/yaml/markdown/json file with non-ASCII content either
crashes with UnicodeDecodeError or silently mis-decodes bytes.

After: all 89 affected call sites in production code now pass
encoding='utf-8' explicitly.  Works identically on every platform
and every locale, no surprise behavior.

Mechanical sweep via:
  ruff check --preview --extend-select PLW1514 --unsafe-fixes --fix     --exclude 'tests,venv,.venv,node_modules,website,optional-skills,               skills,tinker-atropos,plugins' .

All 89 fixes have the same shape: open(x) or open(x, mode) became
open(x, encoding='utf-8') or open(x, mode, encoding='utf-8').  Nothing
else changed.  Every modified file still parses and the Windows/sandbox
test suite is still green (85 passed, 14 skipped, 0 failed across
tests/tools/test_code_execution_windows_env.py +
tests/tools/test_code_execution_modes.py + tests/tools/test_env_passthrough.py +
tests/test_hermes_bootstrap.py).

Scope notes:
  - tests/ excluded: test fixtures can use locale encoding intentionally
    (exercising edge cases).  If we want to tighten tests later that's
    a separate PR.
  - plugins/ excluded: plugin-specific conventions may differ; plugin
    authors own their code.
  - optional-skills/ and skills/ excluded: skill scripts are user-authored
    and we don't want to mass-edit them.
  - website/ and tinker-atropos/ excluded: vendored / generated content.

46 files touched, 89 +/- lines (symmetric replacement).  No behavior
change on POSIX or on Windows when the file is ASCII; bug fix on
Windows when the file contains non-ASCII.

d94fb47717 hermes_bootstrap: Windows-only UTF-8 stdio shim for all entry points
Codebase-wide fix for Python-on-Windows UTF-8 footguns, complementing
the earlier execute_code sandbox fixes (which remain load-bearing for
when the sandbox explicitly scrubs child env).

Problem: Python on Windows has two long-standing text-encoding pitfalls:

  1. sys.stdout/stderr are bound to the console code page (cp1252 on
     US-locale installs) — print('café') crashes with UnicodeEncodeError.
  2. Subprocess children don't know to use UTF-8 unless PYTHONUTF8 and/or
     PYTHONIOENCODING are set in their env — so any Python we spawn
     (linters, sandbox children, delegation workers) hits the same bug.

Solution: A tiny bootstrap module (hermes_bootstrap.py) imported as the
first statement of every Hermes entry point:

  - hermes_cli/main.py   (hermes / hermes-agent console_script)
  - run_agent.py         (hermes-agent direct)
  - acp_adapter/entry.py (hermes-acp)
  - gateway/run.py       (messaging gateway)
  - batch_runner.py      (parallel batch mode)
  - cli.py               (legacy direct-launch CLI)

On Windows, the bootstrap:
  - os.environ.setdefault('PYTHONUTF8', '1')       (PEP 540 UTF-8 mode)
  - os.environ.setdefault('PYTHONIOENCODING', 'utf-8')
  - sys.stdout/stderr/stdin.reconfigure(encoding='utf-8', errors='replace')

Children inherit the env vars → they run in UTF-8 mode.
Current process's stdio is reconfigured → print('café') works now.

On POSIX (Linux/macOS), the bootstrap is a complete no-op.  We don't
touch LANG, LC_*, or anything else — users who have intentionally
configured a non-UTF-8 locale aren't affected.  POSIX systems are
already UTF-8 by default in 99% of modern setups, so there's nothing
to fix.

setdefault() (not overwrite) means users who explicitly set PYTHONUTF8=0
or PYTHONIOENCODING=cp1252 in their environment are respected.

What this does NOT fix: bare open(path, 'w') calls in the *parent*
process still default to locale encoding because PYTHONUTF8 is only
read at interpreter init.  A ruff PLW1514 sweep (separate follow-up)
will add explicit encoding='utf-8' at those ~219 call sites for
belt-and-suspenders.

Tests (17): 16 passed, 1 skipped on Windows.
  - Windows: env vars set, stdio reconfigured, child inherits UTF-8 mode
  - POSIX: complete no-op (verified on fake POSIX + skipped on real
    POSIX since we don't have a Linux box in this session)
  - Idempotence: multiple calls safe
  - Graceful degradation: non-reconfigurable streams don't crash
  - User opt-out: explicit PYTHONUTF8=0 is respected
  - Load order: every entry point's FIRST top-level import is
    hermes_bootstrap, enforced by an AST-level parametrized test

pyproject.toml: added hermes_bootstrap to py-modules so it ships with
pip installs.

a2efad6bea fix(windows): prefer npm.cmd over npm.ps1, skip .py argv0 in relaunch
Two fixes from teknium1's next install run:

1. **npm install: "npm.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is
   disabled on this system."**  Get-Command's default PATHEXT ordering
   picked up ``npm.ps1`` (the PowerShell shim) ahead of ``npm.cmd`` (the
   batch shim).  Most Windows users have PowerShell's execution policy
   set to Restricted or RemoteSigned, which blocks unsigned ``.ps1``
   files.  ``npm.cmd`` has no such restriction and works universally.

   Install-NodeDeps now detects when Get-Command returned npm.ps1, looks
   for a sibling npm.cmd in the same directory, and prefers it.  Prints
   an info line so the user sees why.  Emits a warning + hint if only
   npm.ps1 is available.

2. **"Launch hermes chat now? Y" crashes with "%1 is not a valid Win32
   application" on Windows installs.**  The setup wizard calls
   ``relaunch(["chat"])``; ``resolve_hermes_bin()`` returned
   ``sys.argv[0]`` which was ``...\\hermes_cli\\main.py`` (because hermes
   was launched via ``python -m hermes_cli.main`` during setup).

   On Windows, ``os.access(script.py, os.X_OK)`` returns True because
   PATHEXT lists ``.py`` when the Python launcher is registered — but
   ``subprocess.run([script.py, ...])`` can't actually execute a ``.py``
   directly.  CreateProcessW needs a real PE file.

   Fixed ``resolve_hermes_bin`` to reject ``.py``/``.pyc`` argv0 values
   on Windows specifically.  Falls through to ``shutil.which("hermes")``
   (hermes.exe in the venv Scripts dir) or, as a final fallback, lets
   build_relaunch_argv build ``[sys.executable, "-m", "hermes_cli.main"]``
   which is bulletproof.  POSIX behaviour unchanged — ``.py`` argv0 with
   a shebang + chmod+x is still a valid exec target there.

3 new tests cover the Windows paths: .py argv0 + hermes.exe on PATH →
returns hermes.exe; .py argv0 + no PATH → returns None (caller uses
python -m); POSIX + executable .py → still accepted.

26 relaunch tests pass, no POSIX regressions.

fc918867b2 fix(windows): quote cache paths in bash + augment PATH so rg/bash resolve on first launch
Three interrelated bugs from teknium1's first interactive chat on Windows:

1. **Snapshot/cwd file paths unquoted in bash command strings.**  The session
   bootstrap and per-command wrapper interpolated
   ``self._snapshot_path`` / ``self._cwd_file`` unquoted into bash commands
   like ``export -p > C:/Users/ryanc/.../hermes-snap-xxx.sh``.  Git Bash's
   MSYS2 layer handles ``C:/...`` paths correctly ONLY when quoted; unquoted,
   the colon and forward-slash get glob-parsed and the redirect targets a
   bogus path.  Symptom: every terminal command emitted two
   ``C:/Users/.../hermes-snap-*.sh (No such file or directory)`` lines that
   bled into stdout (``stderr=STDOUT`` on the local backend) and corrupted
   file contents when the agent wrote to scratch paths via the terminal
   tool.  Fix: ``shlex.quote()`` every interpolation of ``_snapshot_path``
   and ``_cwd_file`` in base.py — no-op on POSIX (the paths contain no
   shell-metachars), critical on Windows.

2. **Stale PATH on first hermes launch after install.**  ``install.ps1``
   adds the PortableGit ``cmd`` / ``bin`` / ``usr\bin`` directories to the
   Windows **User** PATH via ``SetEnvironmentVariable(..., "User")``.  That
   write propagates to newly *spawned* processes only — already-running
   shells (including the one the user types ``hermes`` into immediately
   after install) retain their old PATH.  So hermes starts with a PATH that
   doesn't include bash, rg, grep, ssh — and ``search_files`` reports
   "rg/find not available" when the user clearly just installed them.

   Fix: new ``_augment_path_with_known_tools()`` helper called from
   ``configure_windows_stdio()`` on startup.  Prepends the Hermes-managed
   Git directories + the WinGet Links directory (where ripgrep lands) to
   ``os.environ['PATH']`` if they exist on disk but aren't already in
   PATH.  Subsequent subprocess calls (including bash spawns via
   ``_find_bash()``) inherit the augmented PATH and find everything.
   No-op on POSIX and when the directories don't exist.

3. **Root cause of "file content corruption".**  #1 was the proximate cause.
   Errors like ``C:/Users/.../hermes-snap-xxx.sh: No such file or directory``
   were emitted on stderr by the failed redirect, captured into stdout via
   ``stderr=subprocess.STDOUT``, and if the agent used terminal commands
   like ``cat > file`` the leaked error bytes became part of the file.
   Fixing #1 eliminates this entirely.

## Tests

All 77 Windows-compat tests still pass on Linux (POSIX path is
shlex.quote('/tmp/foo.sh') → '/tmp/foo.sh' — unchanged).

## Not addressed here (would need a bigger design)

- Python file tools (``write_file``, ``read_file``) and the bash-backed
  terminal tool see DIFFERENT views of ``/tmp`` on Windows.  Python treats
  ``/tmp`` as ``C:\tmp`` (drive-relative), Git Bash's MSYS2 treats it as
  a virtual mount to the PortableGit install's ``tmp\``.  Would need a
  translation shim in the Python tools to resolve bash-virtual paths to
  their native-Windows equivalents.  Workaround for users today: use
  absolute native paths (``C:\Users\you\...``) instead of ``/tmp/...``
  when crossing between terminal and Python file tools.

3601e20f47 fix(windows): use PortableGit (not MinGit), fix relaunch os.execvp crash, surface npm errors
Three real bugs from teknium1's first Windows install run:

1. **MinGit has no bash.exe.**  MinGit is the minimal-automation Git for Windows
   distribution — it ships git.exe but deliberately strips bash and the POSIX
   coreutils.  Installer logged "Could not locate bash.exe" and Hermes would
   fail to run any shell command.  Switched to PortableGit — the full Git for
   Windows minus the installer UI.  PortableGit ships bash.exe at
   <root>\bin\bash.exe plus sh, awk, sed, grep, curl, ssh in usr\bin\.  ARM64
   variant is detected separately (PortableGit-*-arm64.7z.exe).  32-bit falls
   back to MinGit-32-bit with a warning (PortableGit is 64-bit only).

   PortableGit ships as a 7z self-extractor (56MB vs MinGit's 38MB).  We
   invoke it with `-o<target> -y` to extract silently — no 7z install needed,
   it's self-contained.

   Updated tools/environments/local.py::_find_bash candidate order to prefer
   the PortableGit layout (<root>\bin\bash.exe) with the MinGit layout
   (<root>\usr\bin\bash.exe) as a fallback so existing installs keep working.

2. **os.execvp "Exec format error" on Windows.**  Setup wizard's "Launch
   hermes chat now? Y" called `os.execvp(["hermes", "chat"])` which on
   Windows can only swap to real Win32 .exe files — chokes with OSError(8)
   on .cmd batch shims and Python console-script wrappers.  Added a
   win32 branch in hermes_cli/relaunch.py::relaunch() that uses
   subprocess.run + sys.exit — functionally identical (user sees "hermes
   exited, then new hermes started") with one extra PID in play.  POSIX
   path is UNCHANGED — still uses os.execvp for in-place replacement.
   Catches OSError in the Windows branch and surfaces a "open a new
   terminal so PATH picks up, then re-run hermes" hint instead of a
   cryptic traceback.

3. **npm install failures silent on Windows.**  The install.ps1 was invoking
   `npm install --silent 2>&1 | Out-Null` inside a try/catch.  PowerShell's
   try/catch does NOT trigger on non-zero process exit codes — only on
   unhandled .NET exceptions — so npm failing printed a generic "npm
   install failed" with zero information about WHY.  The silent pipe ate
   the stderr.

   Rewrote Install-NodeDeps to:
   - Resolve npm.cmd via Get-Command (respects PATHEXT) instead of
     relying on bare `npm` name resolution.
   - Use Start-Process with -PassThru to capture the actual exit code.
   - Redirect stderr to a temp log and surface the first ~800 chars of
     the real npm error when install fails, plus the log path for the
     full text.
   - Fail loudly with the right exit code instead of a misleading success.
   - Bail cleanly with a helpful message when npm isn't on PATH at all.

4. **"True" printing to console after Node check.**  `Test-Node` returns $true;
   installer called it as a bare statement (no assignment, no cast).  PowerShell
   prints bare return values.  Wrapped the call in `[void](Test-Node)`.

## Tests

- Added 3 new tests in tests/hermes_cli/test_relaunch.py covering the
  Windows branch: subprocess is called (not execvp), child exit code
  propagates, OSError surfaces a helpful message.  All 23 tests pass
  (20 existing + 3 new).
- 77 Windows-compat tests still pass, POSIX behaviour unchanged.

e93bfc6c93 feat(windows): close remaining POSIX-only landmines — TUI crash, kanban waitpid, AF_UNIX sandbox, /bin/bash, npm .cmd shims, cwd tracking, detach flags
Second pass on native Windows support, driven by a systematic audit across
five areas: POSIX-only primitives (signal.SIGKILL/SIGHUP/SIGPIPE, os.WNOHANG,
os.setsid), path translation bugs (/c/Users → C:\Users), subprocess patterns
(npm.cmd batch shims, start_new_session no-op on Windows), subsystem health
(cron, gateway daemon, update flow), and module-level import guards.

Every change is platform-gated — POSIX (Linux/macOS) behaviour is preserved
bit-identical. Explicit "do no harm" test: test_posix_path_preserved_on_linux,
test_posix_noop, test_windows_detach_popen_kwargs_is_posix_equivalent_on_posix.

## New module

- hermes_cli/_subprocess_compat.py — shared helpers (resolve_node_command,
  windows_detach_flags, windows_hide_flags, windows_detach_popen_kwargs).
  All no-ops on non-Windows.

## CRITICAL fixes (would crash or silently break on Windows)

- tui_gateway/entry.py: SIGPIPE/SIGHUP referenced at module top level would
  AttributeError on import on Windows, breaking `hermes --tui` entirely (it
  spawns this module as a subprocess).  Guard each signal.signal() call with
  hasattr() and add SIGBREAK as Windows' SIGHUP equivalent.

- hermes_cli/kanban_db.py: os.waitpid(-1, os.WNOHANG) in dispatcher tick was
  unguarded.  os.WNOHANG doesn't exist on Windows.  Gate the whole reap loop
  behind `os.name != "nt"` — Windows has no zombies anyway.

- tools/code_execution_tool.py: AF_UNIX socket for execute_code RPC fails on
  most Windows builds.  Fall back to loopback TCP (AF_INET on 127.0.0.1:0
  ephemeral port) when _IS_WINDOWS.  HERMES_RPC_SOCKET env var now accepts
  either a filesystem path (POSIX) or `tcp://127.0.0.1:<port>` (Windows).
  Generated sandbox client parses both.

- cron/scheduler.py: `argv = ["/bin/bash", str(path)]` hardcoded.  Use
  shutil.which("bash") so Windows (Git Bash via MinGit) works, with a
  readable error when bash is genuinely absent.

- 6 bare npm/npx spawn sites: tools_config.py x2, doctor.py, whatsapp.py
  (npm install + node version probe), browser_tool.py x2.  On Windows npm
  is npm.cmd / npx is npx.cmd (batch shims); subprocess.Popen(["npm", ...])
  fails with WinError 193.  shutil.which(...) returns the absolute .cmd
  path which CreateProcessW accepts because the extension routes through
  cmd.exe /c.  POSIX behaviour unchanged (shutil.which still returns the
  same path subprocess would resolve itself).

## HIGH fixes (silent misbehaviour on Windows)

- tools/environments/local.py get_temp_dir: hardcoded /tmp returned on
  Windows meant `_cwd_file = "/tmp/hermes-cwd-*.txt"`, which bash wrote
  via MSYS2's virtual /tmp but native Python couldn't open.  Result: cwd
  tracking silently broken — `cd` in terminal tool did nothing.  Windows
  branch now returns `%HERMES_HOME%/cache/terminal` with forward slashes
  (works in both bash and Python, guaranteed no spaces).

- tools/environments/local.py _make_run_env PATH injection: `/usr/bin not
  in split(":")` heuristic mangles Windows PATH (";" separator).  Gate
  the injection behind `not _IS_WINDOWS`.

- hermes_cli/gateway.py launch_detached_profile_gateway_restart: outer
  Popen + watcher-script Popen both used start_new_session=True, which
  Windows silently ignores.  Watcher stayed attached to CLI's console,
  died when user closed terminal after `hermes update`, left gateway
  stale.  Now branches through windows_detach_popen_kwargs() helper
  (CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP | DETACHED_PROCESS | CREATE_NO_WINDOW on
  Windows, start_new_session=True on POSIX — identical to main).

## MEDIUM fixes

- gateway/run.py /restart and /update handlers: hardcoded bash/setsid
  chain crashes on Windows when user triggers /update in-gateway.  Now
  has sys.platform=="win32" branch using sys.executable + a tiny
  Python watcher with proper detach flags.  POSIX path is unchanged.

- cli.py _git_repo_root: Git on Windows sometimes returns /c/Users/...
  style paths that break subprocess.Popen(cwd=...) and Path().resolve().
  Added _normalize_git_bash_path() helper that translates /c/Users,
  /cygdrive/c, /mnt/c variants to native C:\Users form.  POSIX no-op.
  _git_repo_root() now routes every result through it.

- cli.py worktree .worktreeinclude: os.symlink on directories failed
  hard on Windows (requires admin or Developer Mode).  Falls back to
  shutil.copytree with a warning log.

## Tests

- 29 new tests in tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py covering:
  subprocess_compat helpers, TUI entry signal guards, kanban waitpid
  guard, code_execution TCP fallback source-level invariants, cron bash
  resolution, npm/npx bare-spawn lint per-file, local env Windows temp
  dir, PATH injection gating, git bash path normalization, symlink
  fallback, gateway detached watcher flags.

- One existing test assertion adjusted in test_browser_homebrew_paths:
  it compared captured Popen argv to the BARE `"npx"` literal; after the
  shutil.which() change argv[0] is the absolute path.  New assertion
  checks the shape (two items, second is `agent-browser`) rather than
  the exact first-item string.  Behaviour unchanged; test was too strict.

All 56 tests pass on Linux (30 from previous commits + 26 new).
267 tests from the affected files/dirs (browser, code_exec, local_env,
process_registry, kanban_db, windows_compat) all pass — zero regressions.
tests/hermes_cli/ (3909 pass) and tests/gateway/ (5021 pass) unchanged;
all pre-existing test failures confirmed unrelated via `git stash` re-run.

## What's still deferred (LOW priority)

- Visible cmd-window flashes on short-lived console apps (~14 sites) —
  cosmetic, needs a follow-up pass once we have user reports.
- agent/file_safety.py POSIX-only security deny patterns — separate
  hardening task.
- tools/process_registry.py returning "/tmp" as fallback — theoretical;
  reachable only when all env-var candidates fail.

b53bd12fe4 fix(windows-editor): default EDITOR=notepad so /edit and Ctrl+X Ctrl+E work
Pre-existing Windows bug surfaced while reviewing the portable-MinGit
install: prompt_toolkit's Buffer.open_in_editor() falls back to POSIX
absolute paths (/usr/bin/nano, /usr/bin/vi, /usr/bin/emacs) that don't
exist on native Windows.  When neither $EDITOR nor $VISUAL is set,
Ctrl+X Ctrl+E ("open prompt in editor") and /edit both silently do
nothing on Windows — the user hits the key, nothing happens, no error.

This wasn't caused by MinGit (full Git for Windows doesn't fix it either,
because the Windows Python subprocess call resolves `/usr/bin/nano` as
`C:\usr\bin\nano`, which doesn't exist even with nano installed).

Fixes:
- hermes_cli/stdio.py::configure_windows_stdio now sets EDITOR=notepad
  on Windows if neither EDITOR nor VISUAL is set.  notepad.exe is in
  every Windows install, works as a blocking editor (subprocess.call
  waits for the window to close), and writes back to the file.
- hermes_cli/config.py (hermes config edit): reorder fallback list so
  Windows tries notepad first — previously nano led the list, which
  required Git Bash / WSL to be in PATH.
- Users who want VSCode / Neovim / Notepad++ can still override via
  $env:EDITOR — that's checked before our default kicks in.  Docstring
  spells out the common overrides.

The Ink TUI (`hermes --tui`) already handled Windows correctly via
ui-tui/src/lib/editor.ts falling back to notepad.exe on win32 — this
commit brings the classic prompt_toolkit CLI into parity.

3 new tests in test_windows_native_support.py verify:
- EDITOR=notepad gets set when unset on Windows
- Explicit $EDITOR is respected
- $VISUAL is respected (not overwritten by our default)

9de893e3b0 feat(windows): close native-Windows install gaps — crash-free startup, UTF-8 stdio, tzdata dep, docs
Native Windows (with Git for Windows installed) can now run the Hermes CLI
and gateway end-to-end without crashing.  install.ps1 already existed and
the Git Bash terminal backend was already wired up — this PR fills the
remaining gaps discovered by auditing every Windows-unsafe primitive
(`signal.SIGKILL`, `os.kill(pid, 0)` probes, bare `fcntl`/`termios`
imports) and by comparing hermes against how Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex,
and Cline handle native Windows.

## What changed

### UTF-8 stdio (new module)
- `hermes_cli/stdio.py` — single `configure_windows_stdio()` entry point.
  Flips the console code page to CP_UTF8 (65001), reconfigures
  `sys.stdout`/`stderr`/`stdin` to UTF-8, sets `PYTHONIOENCODING` + `PYTHONUTF8`
  for subprocesses.  No-op on non-Windows.  Opt out via `HERMES_DISABLE_WINDOWS_UTF8=1`.
- Called early in `cli.py::main`, `hermes_cli/main.py::main`, and
  `gateway/run.py::main` so Unicode banners (box-drawing, geometric
  symbols, non-Latin chat text) don't `UnicodeEncodeError` on cp1252
  consoles.

### Crash sites fixed
- `hermes_cli/main.py:7970` (hermes update → stuck gateway sweep): raw
  `os.kill(pid, _signal.SIGKILL)` → `gateway.status.terminate_pid(pid, force=True)`
  which routes through `taskkill /T /F` on Windows.
- `hermes_cli/profiles.py::_stop_gateway_process`: same fix — also
  converted SIGTERM path to `terminate_pid()` and widened OSError catch
  on the intermediate `os.kill(pid, 0)` probe.
- `hermes_cli/kanban_db.py:2914, 3041`: raw `signal.SIGKILL` →
  `getattr(signal, "SIGKILL", signal.SIGTERM)` fallback (matches the
  pattern already used in `gateway/status.py`).

### OSError widening on `os.kill(pid, 0)` probes
Windows raises `OSError` (WinError 87) for a gone PID instead of
`ProcessLookupError`.  Widened the catch at:
- `gateway/run.py:15101` (`--replace` wait-for-exit loop — without this,
  the loop busy-spins the full 10s every Windows gateway start)
- `hermes_cli/gateway.py:228, 460, 940`
- `hermes_cli/profiles.py:777`
- `tools/process_registry.py::_is_host_pid_alive`
- `tools/browser_tool.py:1170, 1206`

### Dashboard PTY graceful degradation
`hermes_cli/pty_bridge.py` depends on `fcntl`/`termios`/`ptyprocess`,
none of which exist on native Windows.  Previously a Windows dashboard
would crash on `import hermes_cli.web_server` because of a top-level
import.  Now:
- `hermes_cli/web_server.py` wraps the pty_bridge import in
  `try/except ImportError` and sets `_PTY_BRIDGE_AVAILABLE=False`.
- The `/api/pty` WebSocket handler returns a friendly "use WSL2 for
  this tab" message instead of exploding.
- Every other dashboard feature (sessions, jobs, metrics, config
  editor) runs natively on Windows.

### Dependency
- `pyproject.toml`: add `tzdata>=2023.3; sys_platform == 'win32'` so
  Python's `zoneinfo` works on Windows (which has no IANA tzdata
  shipped with the OS).  Credits @sprmn24 (PR #13182).

### Docs
- README.md: removed "Native Windows is not supported"; added
  PowerShell one-liner and Git-for-Windows prerequisite note.
- `website/docs/getting-started/installation.md`: new Windows section
  with capability matrix (everything native except the dashboard
  `/chat` PTY tab, which is WSL2-only).
- `website/docs/user-guide/windows-wsl-quickstart.md`: reframed as
  "WSL2 as an alternative to native" rather than "the only way".
- `website/docs/developer-guide/contributing.md`: updated
  cross-platform guidance with the `signal.SIGKILL` / `OSError`
  rules we enforce now.
- `website/docs/user-guide/features/web-dashboard.md`: acknowledged
  native Windows works for everything except the embedded PTY pane.

## Why this shape

Pulled from a survey of how other agent codebases handle native
Windows (Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Cline):

- All four treat Git Bash as the canonical shell on Windows, same as
  hermes already does in `tools/environments/local.py::_find_bash()`.
- None of them force `SetConsoleOutputCP` — but they don't have to,
  Node/Rust write UTF-16 to the Win32 console API.  Python does not get
  that for free, so we flip CP_UTF8 via ctypes.
- None of them ship PowerShell-as-primary-shell (Claude Code exposes
  PS as a secondary tool; scope creep for this PR).
- All of them use `taskkill /T /F` for force-kill on Windows, which
  is exactly what `gateway.status.terminate_pid(force=True)` does.

## Non-goals (deliberate scope limits)

- No PowerShell-as-a-second-shell tool — worth designing separately.
- No terminal routing rewrite (#12317, #15461, #19800 cluster) — that's
  the hardest design call and needs a separate doc.
- No wholesale `open()` → `open(..., encoding="utf-8")` sweep (Tianworld
  cluster) — will do as follow-up if users hit actual breakage; most
  modern code already specifies it.

## Validation

- 28 new tests in `tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py` — all
  platform-mocked, pass on Linux CI.  Cover:
  - `configure_windows_stdio` idempotency, opt-out, env-preservation
  - `terminate_pid` taskkill routing, failure → OSError, FileNotFoundError fallback
  - `getattr(signal, "SIGKILL", …)` fallback shape
  - `_is_host_pid_alive` OSError widening (Windows-gone-PID behavior)
  - Source-level checks that all entry points call `configure_windows_stdio`
  - pty_bridge import-guard present in `web_server.py`
  - README no longer says "not supported"
- 12 pre-existing tests in `tests/tools/test_windows_compat.py` still pass.
- `tests/hermes_cli/` ran fully (3909 passed, 9 failures — all confirmed
  pre-existing on main by stash-test).
- `tests/gateway/` ran fully (5021 passed, 1 pre-existing failure).
- `tests/tools/test_process_registry.py` + `test_browser_*` pass.
- Manual smoke: `import hermes_cli.stdio; import gateway.run;
  import hermes_cli.web_server` — all clean, `_PTY_BRIDGE_AVAILABLE=True`
  on Linux (as expected).

## Files

fix(profiles): pass encoding=utf-8 to distribution.yaml open (#22083)
_distribution_metadata() reads the profile's distribution.yaml without
an explicit encoding, which defaults to the platform's locale encoding
— UTF-8 on POSIX, cp1252/mbcs on Windows. Files round-tripped between
hosts get mojibake on the Windows side.

Single-line fix: add encoding='utf-8' to the open() call. Matches the
sibling _read_config_model() site at line 398, which already does this.

Surfaces once PR #21561 lands the blocking ruff-check CI job
(PLW1514 — unspecified-encoding), but the underlying bug is
pre-existing on main.

07bbd93337 feat(teams-pipeline): add plugin runtime and operator cli
Third slice of the Microsoft Teams meeting pipeline stack, salvaged
onto current main. Adds the standalone teams_pipeline plugin that
consumes Graph change notifications from the webhook listener,
resolves meeting artifacts (transcript first, recording + STT fallback
later), persists job state in a durable store, and exposes an operator
CLI for inspection, replay, subscription management, and validation.

Design choices follow maintainer review feedback on PR #19815:

- Standalone plugin rather than bolted-on core surface
  (plugins/teams_pipeline/, kind: standalone in plugin.yaml).
- Zero new model tools. The agent drives the pipeline by invoking
  the operator CLI via the terminal tool, guided by the skill that
  ships with a follow-up PR.
- Reuses the existing msgraph_webhook gateway platform for Graph
  ingress. Pipeline runtime is wired in via bind_gateway_runtime and
  gated on plugins.enabled so gateways that don't run the plugin
  boot cleanly.

Additions:

- plugins/teams_pipeline/: runtime (gateway wiring + config builder),
  pipeline core, durable SQLite store, subscription maintenance
  helpers, Graph artifact resolution, operator CLI (list, show,
  run/replay, fetch dry-run, subscriptions list, subscribe,
  renew-subscription, delete-subscription, maintain-subscriptions,
  token-health, validate).
- hermes_cli/main.py: second-pass plugin CLI discovery so any
  standalone plugin registered via ctx.register_cli_command()
  outside the memory-plugin convention path gets its subcommand
  wired into argparse without touching core.
- gateway/run.py: _teams_pipeline_plugin_enabled() config gate,
  _wire_teams_pipeline_runtime() binding after adapter setup, and
  the two runner attributes used by the runtime.

Credit to @dlkakbs for the entire plugin implementation.

850413f120 feat(computer-use): cua-driver backend, universal any-model schema
Background macOS desktop control via cua-driver MCP — does NOT steal the
user's cursor or keyboard focus, works with any tool-capable model.

Replaces the Anthropic-native `computer_20251124` approach from the
abandoned #4562 with a generic OpenAI function-calling schema plus SOM
(set-of-mark) captures so Claude, GPT, Gemini, and open models can all
drive the desktop via numbered element indices.

- `tools/computer_use/` package — swappable ComputerUseBackend ABC +
  CuaDriverBackend (stdio MCP client to trycua/cua's cua-driver binary).
- Universal `computer_use` tool with one schema for all providers.
  Actions: capture (som/vision/ax), click, double_click, right_click,
  middle_click, drag, scroll, type, key, wait, list_apps, focus_app.
- Multimodal tool-result envelope (`_multimodal=True`, OpenAI-style
  `content: [text, image_url]` parts) that flows through
  handle_function_call into the tool message. Anthropic adapter converts
  into native `tool_result` image blocks; OpenAI-compatible providers
  get the parts list directly.
- Image eviction in convert_messages_to_anthropic: only the 3 most
  recent screenshots carry real image data; older ones become text
  placeholders to cap per-turn token cost.
- Context compressor image pruning: old multimodal tool results have
  their image parts stripped instead of being skipped.
- Image-aware token estimation: each image counts as a flat 1500 tokens
  instead of its base64 char length (~1MB would have registered as
  ~250K tokens before).
- COMPUTER_USE_GUIDANCE system-prompt block — injected when the toolset
  is active.
- Session DB persistence strips base64 from multimodal tool messages.
- Trajectory saver normalises multimodal messages to text-only.
- `hermes tools` post-setup installs cua-driver via the upstream script
  and prints permission-grant instructions.
- CLI approval callback wired so destructive computer_use actions go
  through the same prompt_toolkit approval dialog as terminal commands.
- Hard safety guards at the tool level: blocked type patterns
  (curl|bash, sudo rm -rf, fork bomb), blocked key combos (empty trash,
  force delete, lock screen, log out).
- Skill `apple/macos-computer-use/SKILL.md` — universal (model-agnostic)
  workflow guide.
- Docs: `user-guide/features/computer-use.md` plus reference catalog
  entries.

44 new tests in tests/tools/test_computer_use.py covering schema
shape (universal, not Anthropic-native), dispatch routing, safety
guards, multimodal envelope, Anthropic adapter conversion, screenshot
eviction, context compressor pruning, image-aware token estimation,
run_agent helpers, and universality guarantees.

469/469 pass across tests/tools/test_computer_use.py + the affected
agent/ test suites.

- `model_tools.py` provider-gating: the tool is available to every
  provider. Providers without multi-part tool message support will see
  text-only tool results (graceful degradation via `text_summary`).
- Anthropic server-side `clear_tool_uses_20250919` — deferred;
  client-side eviction + compressor pruning cover the same cost ceiling
  without a beta header.

- macOS only. cua-driver uses private SkyLight SPIs
  (SLEventPostToPid, SLPSPostEventRecordTo,
  _AXObserverAddNotificationAndCheckRemote) that can break on any macOS
  update. Pin with HERMES_CUA_DRIVER_VERSION.
- Requires Accessibility + Screen Recording permissions — the post-setup
  prints the Settings path.

Supersedes PR #4562 (pyautogui/Quartz foreground backend, Anthropic-
native schema). Credit @0xbyt4 for the original #3816 groundwork whose
context/eviction/token design is preserved here in generic form.

feat(profile): shareable profile distributions via git (#20831)
* feat(profile): shareable profile distributions (pack/install/update/info)

Closes #20456.

Turns a profile into a portable, versioned artifact. Packs SOUL.md, config,
skills, cron, and an env-var manifest into a tar.gz that others can install
from a local path, URL, or git repo. Updates re-pull the distribution while
preserving user data (memories, sessions, auth.json, .env) and the user's
config.yaml overrides.

New subcommands (under hermes profile, no parallel tree):
  hermes profile pack    <name> [-o FILE]
  hermes profile install <source> [--name N] [--alias] [--force] [-y]
  hermes profile update  <name> [--force-config] [-y]
  hermes profile info    <name>

Manifest (distribution.yaml at the profile root): name, version,
hermes_requires, author, env_requires, distribution_owned.

Security:
  - Installer shows manifest + env-var requirements before mutating disk;
    confirmation required unless -y.
  - auth.json and .env are never packed (same exclude set as profile export).
  - Cron jobs are packed but NOT auto-scheduled — user is pointed at
    'hermes -p <name> cron list' to review.
  - Archive extraction rejects path traversal (../ members).
  - Alias creation is opt-in via --alias.

Update semantics:
  - Distribution-owned paths (SOUL.md, skills/, cron/, mcp.json, manifest):
    replaced from the new archive.
  - config.yaml: preserved by default; --force-config to overwrite.
  - User-owned paths (memories/, sessions/, auth.json, .env, state.db*,
    logs/, workspace/, plans/, home/, *_cache/, local/): never touched.

Version pin:
  hermes_requires accepts >=, <=, ==, !=, >, < or a bare version (treated
  as >=). Install fails with a clear error when the running Hermes version
  doesn't satisfy the spec.

Sources supported by 'install':
  - Local .tar.gz / .tgz archive
  - Local directory
  - HTTP(S) URL pointing to a .tar.gz (uses httpx, already a dep)
  - Git URL (github.com/user/repo, https://..., git@..., ssh://, git://)

Tests: 43 new unit tests (manifest parsing, version checks, env template,
pack/install/update round-trip, config-preservation, security).
E2E validated via real CLI invocations against an isolated HERMES_HOME
covering pack, install with confirmation, update preservation, update
--force-config, decline-preview, duplicate-install rejection, and
version-requirement rejection.

* refactor(profile-dist): git-only — drop tar.gz/HTTP transports and pack

Scope-cut on top of the original distribution PR: a profile distribution
is now exclusively a git repository (or a local directory during
development). The tar.gz / HTTP archive transports and the matching
`hermes profile pack` subcommand have been removed.

Why:
* GitHub tags, branches, and commits are already the right versioning
  primitive. Tag pushes do for us what 'pack + upload' did.
* `hermes profile export` / `import` already cover local backup and
  restore; they are not a distribution format and stay untouched.
* One transport means one install/update code path, one doc page,
  and one mental model. The extra source types doubled the surface
  for no real user win — GitHub auto-attaches release tarballs, and
  `git bundle` / `git clone --mirror` cover the airgap case.

Changes:
* hermes_cli/profile_distribution.py — removed pack_profile,
  _fetch_tar_archive (_http_fetch), _safe_extract, _archive_roots,
  _safe_parts, _find_dist_root, tarfile/io/urlparse imports. The
  new _stage_source has two arms: git URL → clone, local directory
  → use in place.
* hermes_cli/main.py — removed the 'pack' subparser and action
  handler. Install help text updated to match the reduced source list.
* tests/hermes_cli/test_profile_distribution.py — rewritten around a
  local-directory staging fixture. The install/update/describe suites
  now build a distribution tree on disk directly and install from it,
  which is what a real git clone produces after .git is stripped.
  Dropped TestPack, TestFindDistRoot, and the tar-specific security
  test. New tests cover _looks_like_git_url, env_example emission,
  hermes_requires enforcement, and 'installer does not import
  credentials if an author mistakenly leaks them in the staging tree'.
* website/docs/reference/profile-commands.md — 'Distribution commands'
  section rewritten around git. Added a 'Publishing a distribution'
  section. export/import stay documented as local backup/restore.
* website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md — dropped 'pack' from the
  profile subcommand table.
* website/package.json — 'lint:diagrams' now passes
  --exclude-code-blocks to ascii-guard. Without it, markdown tables
  and box-drawing diagrams inside fenced code blocks were being
  misidentified as malformed ASCII boxes, blocking the PR's
  docs-site-checks CI with 8 false-positive errors.

Validation:
* Targeted suite: tests/hermes_cli/test_profile_distribution.py —
  56/56 pass (down from 43 — reorganized to cover the new
  local-dir paths).
* Regression: test_profiles.py + test_profile_export_credentials.py
  102/102 still pass. export/import behaviour unchanged.
* Docs lint: ascii-guard lint --exclude-code-blocks docs returns
  0 errors (was 8 on the PR before the flag bump).
* E2E: ran the real `hermes profile install`/`info` against a
  local staging dir under an isolated HERMES_HOME — install writes
  SOUL.md + skills to the target profile, info reads the manifest
  back, a bogus source produces a clear error, and `hermes profile
  pack` is now rejected by argparse as expected.

* feat(profile-dist): distribution-aware list/show/delete + installed_at + env preview

Polish pass on top of the git-only scope cut. Five additions, all small,
wiring into existing commands rather than adding new surface.

1. `installed_at` timestamp on the manifest
   * Stamped automatically inside plan_install() on both fresh install
     and update — ISO-8601 UTC, seconds resolution.
   * Surfaced in `hermes profile info` as `Installed:    <ts>`.
   * Lets users tell "installed 6 months ago, needs update" from
     "installed yesterday" without guessing from file mtimes.

2. `hermes profile list` grows a `Distribution` column
   * Plain profiles: "—"
   * Distribution profiles: "<name>@<version>" (e.g. `telemetry@1.2.3`)
   * ProfileInfo gains three optional fields — distribution_name,
     distribution_version, distribution_source — populated by a new
     _read_distribution_meta() helper that swallows manifest read errors
     so a broken distribution.yaml in one profile can't break `list`
     for the others.

3. `hermes profile show` and `hermes profile delete` surface
   distribution provenance
   * show: `Distribution: name@version` + `Installed from: <source>`
     plus a pointer to `hermes profile info <name>` for the full
     manifest.
   * delete: same lines in the pre-confirmation preview, so a user
     deleting "telemetry" can see it came from
     `github.com/kyle/telemetry-distribution` before they type
     `telemetry` to confirm. No change to the confirmation gate itself —
     deletion semantics are identical to plain profiles.

4. Install preview checks env vars against the current environment
   * Replaces the "Env vars you'll need to set:" header with a simpler
     "Env vars:" block.
   * Each required var is labeled:
     - `✓ set` — already in `os.environ` OR present as a key in the
       target profile's existing .env (update case).
     - `needs setting` — required but not found in either place.
     - `—` — optional.
   * Mirrors pip's "Requirement already satisfied" UX: no unnecessary
     nagging about keys the user already has configured.

5. Docs: private distributions
   * New "Private distributions" section in
     website/docs/reference/profile-commands.md explaining that we
     shell out to the user's `git` binary, so SSH keys / credential
     helpers / GitHub CLI stored creds all work transparently. One
     paragraph, two examples.
   * `hermes profile info` section updated to mention `Installed:`.

Module-level hoist:
* `from datetime import datetime, timezone` was previously lazy-imported
  inside plan_install(). Hoisted to module scope so tests can monkeypatch
  `hermes_cli.profile_distribution.datetime` to freeze time.

Tests (+7):
* TestInstalledAtStamp.test_install_stamps_installed_at — format check
  (4-digit year, 'T', +00:00 suffix).
* TestInstalledAtStamp.test_update_refreshes_installed_at — freezes
  datetime.now() to 2099-01-01 and confirms update writes a new stamp.
* TestProfileInfoDistribution.test_installed_distribution_shows_in_list
  — ProfileInfo.distribution_{name,version,source} populated after install.
* TestProfileInfoDistribution.test_plain_profile_has_no_distribution_fields
  — plain profiles have None.
* TestProfileInfoDistribution.test_malformed_manifest_does_not_break_list
  — broken distribution.yaml in one profile doesn't break list_profiles().

Validation:
* 163/163 tests pass (56 distribution + 102 profile regression +
  5 new from this commit — up from 158).
* docs-lint: 0 errors.
* E2E verified: install preview shows ✓/needs-setting per env var,
  `profile list` shows Distribution column, `profile show` + `delete`
  preview mentions source URL, `info` shows Installed: timestamp.

* fix(profile-dist): clean errors + warn when overwriting plain profiles

Two small polish fixes found during collision sweeps of the PR:

1. ValueError from validate_profile_name now caught cleanly
   * A distribution.yaml whose 'name' field can't be used as a profile
     identifier (spaces, path traversal, etc.) raises ValueError from
     hermes_cli.profiles.validate_profile_name, which was escaping as a
     raw Python traceback from 'hermes profile install/update/info'.
   * Broadened the except clause in all three handlers to catch
     (DistributionError, ValueError) — users now see:
       Error: Invalid profile name '../../etc/passwd'. Must match
              [a-z0-9][a-z0-9_-]{0,63}
     instead of a stack trace.

2. Install preview distinguishes plain profile overwrite from
   distribution re-install
   * When plan.target_dir exists and IS a distribution (has
     distribution.yaml), preview still shows the mild
       (profile exists — will overwrite distribution-owned files only)
   * When plan.target_dir exists but is a HAND-BUILT plain profile (no
     distribution.yaml), preview now shows a loud warning:
       ⚠ Profile exists but is NOT a distribution.  Installing here will
         overwrite its SOUL.md, skills/, cron/, and mcp.json.
         Your memories, sessions, auth.json, and .env will be preserved,
         but any hand-edits to distribution-owned files will be lost.
   * Users who type 'hermes profile install foo --force' against a
     profile they hand-built now see what they're signing up for. User
     data is still safe (memories, sessions, auth, .env are in
     USER_OWNED_EXCLUDE), but custom SOUL/skills get stomped.

Tests (+2):
* TestErrorSurfaces.test_bad_profile_name_raises_valueerror_not_traceback
* TestErrorSurfaces.test_path_traversal_name_rejected

Validation:
* 165/165 tests pass (was 163).
* E2E: bad manifest names produce 'Error: Invalid profile name ...'
  with no traceback; installing over a plain profile shows the warning;
  re-installing over an existing distribution shows the normal
  overwrite message.
* Bad HTTPS URLs still produce 'Error: git clone failed: ...' — git
  itself generates a clean enough message that no wrapper is needed.
* 'install .' works correctly from any cwd.

* fix(profiles): reject reserved names at validate time

Before: `hermes profile create hermes` / `profile install` / `profile rename`
all silently accepted reserved names like `hermes`, `test`, `tmp`, `root`,
`sudo`. The profile directory was created; only alias creation failed (via
check_alias_collision), leaving a confusingly-named profile on disk — e.g.
`~/.hermes/profiles/hermes/` sitting next to `~/.hermes/` itself.

The reserved set already exists (_RESERVED_NAMES, introduced alongside alias
collision detection). This commit moves the check up one layer to
validate_profile_name so every entry point — create, install, import,
rename, dashboard web API — shares the same gate.

The error message points the user at the cause without being cryptic:
  Error: Profile name 'hermes' is reserved — it collides with either the
  Hermes installation itself or a common system binary.  Pick a different
  name.

`default` continues to pass through (it's a special alias for ~/.hermes).
_HERMES_SUBCOMMANDS (`chat`, `model`, `gateway`, etc.) stays at
alias-collision time only — those are fine as bare profile names with
`--no-alias`.

Tests (+5): test_reserved_names_rejected parametrized over the full
_RESERVED_NAMES set, matching the existing pattern in TestValidateProfileName.

No existing test uses a reserved name as a profile identifier (greppped
create_profile("hermes|test|tmp|root|sudo") — zero hits).

Validation:
* 170/170 tests pass in the profile suites.
* E2E: `profile create hermes`, `profile install` with manifest
  name=hermes, and `profile install ... --name hermes` all produce the
  same clean `Error: Profile name 'hermes' is reserved ...` with rc=1
  and no traceback. Normal names (`mybot`) still work.

fix: include terminal backend in quick setup wizard (#21842)
The quick setup flow (recommended for first-time users) silently defaulted
terminal.backend to 'local' without ever presenting the choice. This meant
new users who wanted Docker, SSH, Modal, Daytona, or any other backend had
to know about 'hermes setup terminal' — which most wouldn't discover until
later.

Now the quick setup flow is:
  1. Provider selection
  2. API key
  3. Terminal backend (local/Docker/Modal/SSH/Daytona/Vercel/Singularity)
  4. Messaging platform
  5. Done

The terminal backend is a foundational decision (where ALL commands run)
and belongs in the onboarding path alongside provider selection.

307c85e5c1 fix(goals): auto-pause when judge model returns unparseable output
Weak judge models (e.g. deepseek-v4-flash) return empty strings or prose
when asked for the strict {done, reason} JSON verdict. The old code
failed-open to continue on every such turn, burning the entire turn
budget with log lines like

  judge returned empty response
  judge reply was not JSON: "Let me analyze whether the goal..."

and /goal clear could not stop it mid-loop without /stop.

After N=3 consecutive *parse* failures (transport/API errors don't
count — those are transient), the loop auto-pauses and prints:

  ⏸ Goal paused — the judge model (3 turns) isn't returning the
  required JSON verdict. Route the judge to a stricter model in
  ~/.hermes/config.yaml:
    auxiliary:
      goal_judge:
        provider: openrouter
        model: google/gemini-3-flash-preview
  Then /goal resume to continue.

The counter resets on any usable reply (both "done"/"continue" and
API errors) and persists across GoalManager reloads so cross-session
resumes carry the correct state.

Also fixes test_goal_verdict_send.py sharing a hardcoded session_id
across tests — the shared id only worked because the previous
_post_turn_goal_continuation was a never-awaited coroutine. Now that
PR #19160 made it properly awaited, the xdist test-leakage bug
surfaced. Each test gets a unique session_id via uuid suffix.

feat(kanban): add specify — auxiliary LLM fleshes out triage tasks (#21435)
* feat(kanban): add `specify` — auxiliary LLM fleshes out triage tasks

The Triage column shipped with a placeholder 'a specifier will flesh
out the spec', but the specifier itself was never built. This wires
it up as a dedicated CLI verb.

`hermes kanban specify <id>` calls the auxiliary LLM (configured under
`auxiliary.triage_specifier`) to expand a rough one-liner into a
concrete spec — tightened title plus a body with Goal / Approach /
Acceptance criteria / Out-of-scope sections — then atomically flips
`status: triage -> todo` and recomputes ready so parent-free tasks
go straight to the dispatcher on the same tick.

Surface:

  hermes kanban specify <task_id>               # single task
  hermes kanban specify --all [--tenant T]      # sweep triage column
  hermes kanban specify ... --author NAME       # audit-comment author
  hermes kanban specify ... --json              # one JSON line per task

Design choices:

  - Parent gating is preserved. specify_triage_task flips to 'todo',
    then recompute_ready promotes to 'ready' only when parents are
    done — same rule as a normal parent-gated todo.
  - No daemon, no background watcher. Every invocation is explicit —
    keeps cost predictable and doesn't fight the dispatcher loop.
  - Response parse is lenient: strict JSON preferred, markdown-fence
    tolerated, raw-body fallback on malformed JSON so the LLM can't
    strand a task in triage.
  - All failure modes (no aux client, API error, task moved out of
    triage mid-call) return SpecifyOutcome(ok=False, reason=...) so
    --all continues past individual failures.

Changes:

  hermes_cli/kanban_db.py    + specify_triage_task()
  hermes_cli/kanban_specify.py  NEW (~220 LOC — prompt, parse, call)
  hermes_cli/kanban.py       + specify subcommand + _cmd_specify
  hermes_cli/config.py       + auxiliary.triage_specifier task slot
  website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md  specify + config notes
  website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md      CLI reference entry
  tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_specify_db.py    NEW (10 tests)
  tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_specify.py       NEW (20 tests)

Validation: 30/30 targeted tests pass. E2E: triage task -> specify ->
ends in 'ready' with events [created, specified, promoted] and the
audit comment recorded under the configured author.

* feat(kanban): wire specifier into dashboard and gateway slash

Follow-ups to the initial PR #21435 — closes the two gaps I'd left as
post-merge: dashboard button and first-class gateway surface.

Dashboard (plugins/kanban/dashboard/)
  - POST /tasks/:id/specify  NEW endpoint. Thin wrapper around
    kanban_specify.specify_task(). Returns the CLI outcome shape
    ({ok, task_id, reason, new_title}); ok=false with a human reason
    is a 200, not a 4xx, so the UI can render it inline without
    treating 'no aux client configured' as a crash.
  - Runs sync in FastAPI's threadpool because the LLM call can take
    tens of seconds on reasoning models.
  - Pins HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD around the specify call so the module's
    argless kb.connect() lands on the right board.
  - dist/index.js: doSpecify callback threaded through the drawer →
    TaskDetail → StatusActions prop chain.  Specify button appears
    ONLY when task.status === 'triage' (elsewhere the backend would
    reject anyway — hide the button to keep the action row clean).
    Busy state (Specifying…) + inline success/error banner under the
    button using the response.reason text.
  - dist/style.css: tiny hermes-kanban-msg-ok / -err classes using
    existing --color vars so themes reskin cleanly.

Gateway slash (/kanban specify)
  - Already works via the existing run_slash → build_parser →
    kanban_command pipeline. No code change needed — slash commands
    inherit the argparse tree automatically. Added coverage:
    test_run_slash_specify_end_to_end (create --triage, specify, verify
    promotion + retitle) and test_run_slash_specify_help_is_reachable.

Tests
  - tests/plugins/test_kanban_dashboard_plugin.py: 3 new tests for the
    REST endpoint — happy path, non-triage rejection as ok=false 200,
    missing aux client as ok=false 200.
  - tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_cli.py: 2 new slash-surface tests.

Docs
  - website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md: dashboard action row
    description mentions  Specify + all three surfaces. REST table
    gains /tasks/:id/specify. Slash examples include /kanban specify.

Validation: 340/340 targeted tests pass. E2E via TestClient: create a
triage task over REST → POST /specify with mocked aux client → task
moves to 'ready' column on /board with new title and body applied.

04193cf71c feat(web): add Brave Search (free tier) and DDGS search providers
Both implement WebSearchProvider via tools/web_providers/ — matching the
existing SearXNG pattern (PR #5c906d702). Search-only; pair with any
extract provider via web.extract_backend.

- tools/web_providers/brave_free.py — Brave Search API (free tier, 2k
  queries/mo). Uses BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY as X-Subscription-Token.
- tools/web_providers/ddgs.py — DuckDuckGo via the ddgs Python package.
  No API key; gated on package importability.
- tools/web_tools.py: both backends added to _get_backend() config list
  and auto-detect chain (trails paid providers), _is_backend_available,
  web_search_tool dispatch, web_extract_tool + web_crawl_tool search-only
  refusals, check_web_api_key, and the __main__ diagnostic. Introduces
  _ddgs_package_importable() helper so tests can monkeypatch a single
  symbol for the ddgs availability check.
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: picker entries for both providers; ddgs
  gets a post_setup handler that runs `pip install ddgs`.
- hermes_cli/config.py: BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY in OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS.
- scripts/release.py: AUTHOR_MAP entry for @Abd0r.
- tests: 14 new tests (brave-free) + 15 new tests (ddgs) covering
  provider unit behavior, backend wiring, and search-only refusals.

Salvages the brave-free + ddgs portion of PR #19796. Not included: the
in-line helpers in web_tools.py (replaced with provider modules to match
the shipped architecture), the lynx-based extract path (these backends
should refuse extract with a clear error — users pair with a real
extract provider), and scripts/start-llama-server.sh (unrelated).

fix(update): reset-failed before every fallback restart so the gateway can't get stranded (#21371)
cmd_update's auto-restart path could leave the gateway dead after a
transient failure in systemd's own auto-restart window.  Reproduced
on Ubuntu 25.10 + systemd 257: after update, gateway drains and exits 75,
systemd's first respawn 60s later fails (status=200/CHDIR with
"No such file or directory" on a WorkingDirectory that demonstrably
exists), the unit ends up in RestartMaxDelaySec=300 backoff, and
cmd_update's fallback 'systemctl restart' never recovers it — leaving
users with a permanently silent gateway until they manually run
'systemctl reset-failed'.

The fix mirrors the recovery pattern 'hermes gateway restart'
(systemd_restart) got in PR #20949: always reset-failed before
restart, on both the initial fallback and the retry.  Also rewrites
the final failure message to tell the user to reset-failed +
restart (not just restart, which is the step that already failed
twice).

feat(kanban): per-task max_retries override (#20263 follow-up, supersedes #20972) (#21330)
Adds a per-task override for the consecutive-failure circuit breaker,
so individual tasks can opt out of the global ``kanban.failure_limit``
without dragging everyone else with them.

Resolution order (now three tiers):
  1. per-task ``max_retries`` (new, this commit)
  2. caller-supplied ``failure_limit`` — the gateway threads
     ``kanban.failure_limit`` from config here
  3. ``DEFAULT_FAILURE_LIMIT`` (2)

Changes:
- ``tasks.max_retries INTEGER`` column + migration for existing DBs
  (NULL = no override, matches pre-column behavior).
- ``Task.max_retries`` field + ``from_row`` plumbing.
- ``create_task(..., max_retries=N)`` kwarg.
- ``_record_task_failure`` reads the per-task value first and records
  ``limit_source`` + ``effective_limit`` on the ``gave_up`` event so
  operators can see which tier won.
- CLI: ``hermes kanban create --max-retries N`` (rejects ``< 1``).
- CLI: ``hermes kanban show`` surfaces the effective threshold +
  source (``(task)``, ``(config kanban.failure_limit)``, ``(default)``).
- CLI: ``_task_to_dict`` includes ``max_retries`` in ``--json`` output.

Key design choice vs. the earlier #20972 attempt:
- No new config key. The existing ``kanban.failure_limit`` (landed in
  #21183) is the dispatcher-tier source — no silent break for users
  who already tuned it.
- No ``!=`` sentinel for "is config set" (which would misfire when
  config equals the default). The tier-winner is determined purely
  by "is per-task override set" — the dispatcher always wins when
  per-task is NULL, regardless of whether the caller passed the
  default or a configured value.

E2E verified across four scenarios: default-only (trips at 2),
config-only (trips at caller's value), per-task-only beats default
(trips at task value), per-task beats larger config (trips at task
value). ``gave_up`` event metadata correctly records ``limit_source``
and ``effective_limit`` in all cases.

Tests:
- ``test_per_task_max_retries_overrides_dispatcher_limit`` — task=1
  beats caller=10.
- ``test_per_task_max_retries_allows_more_than_default`` — task=5
  does not trip at caller=default of 2.
- ``test_max_retries_none_falls_through_to_dispatcher_limit`` — None
  honors caller's config value (4), records ``limit_source=dispatcher``.

Full kanban trio (db + core + cli + tools + dashboard-plugin): 342
passed, no regressions.

Supersedes: #20972 (@jelrod27) — credit in PR close comment.
Ref: #20263 (tangentially — the reporter asked about adapter API
drift, not retry caps, but the CLI discussion there is what
surfaced the original ask).

fix(pairing): enforce lockout on approve_code, not just generate_code (#10195) (#21325)
PairingStore.approve_code() didn't consult _is_locked_out(), so after
MAX_FAILED_ATTEMPTS bad approvals the lockout flag was set but a valid
code still got accepted — any pending code (legitimately issued or
attacker-obtained) could be approved during the 1-hour lockout window,
nullifying the brute-force protection.

- gateway/pairing.py: lockout check runs in approve_code() right after
  _cleanup_expired, before the pending lookup. Returns None on lockout.
- tests/gateway/test_pairing.py: test_lockout_blocks_code_approval pins
  the regression — reporter's exact reproducer (generate valid code,
  exhaust attempts with WRONGCODE, try to approve valid code) must
  return None and leave is_approved == False. Also pins recovery: once
  lockout expires, the still-pending code approves normally.
- hermes_cli/pairing.py: _cmd_approve distinguishes the two None cases.
  On lockout, prints 'Platform locked out... clears in N minutes. To
  reset sooner, delete the _lockout:<platform> entry from
  _rate_limits.json' instead of the misleading 'Code not found or
  expired' message. 29/29 pairing tests pass; E2E-verified with
  reporter's exact Python reproducer.

af9336d575 feat(gateway): generic plugin hooks for env enablement + cron delivery
Widen the platform-plugin surface so plugins can self-configure from env
vars and opt into cron home-channel delivery without editing core files.
Closes the scope gap that forced every new platform (Google Chat, Teams,
IRC, future) to either touch gateway/config.py, cron/scheduler.py, and
hermes_cli/config.py or live without env-only setup.

Changes:

- gateway/platform_registry.py: two new optional PlatformEntry fields.
  - env_enablement_fn: () -> Optional[dict]. Called during
    _apply_env_overrides BEFORE the adapter is constructed. Returned
    dict fields are merged into PlatformConfig.extra; the special
    'home_channel' key (if present) becomes a proper HomeChannel
    dataclass on the PlatformConfig.
  - cron_deliver_env_var: name of the *_HOME_CHANNEL env var. When set,
    the plugin platform is a valid cron deliver= target and cron reads
    the env var to resolve the default chat/room ID.

- gateway/config.py: the existing plugin-platform enable pass at the
  bottom of _apply_env_overrides now calls env_enablement_fn and seeds
  extras/home_channel. No effect on plugins that don't set the new
  field.

- cron/scheduler.py: _is_known_delivery_platform and
  _resolve_home_env_var fall through to the registry when the platform
  isn't in the hardcoded built-in sets. New _iter_home_target_platforms
  helper iterates built-ins + plugin platforms for the deliver=origin
  fallback.

- gateway/run.py: _home_target_env_var now consults the new resolver so
  plugin-defined home channels work for non-cron call sites too.

- hermes_cli/config.py: new _inject_platform_plugin_env_vars() sibling
  of _inject_profile_env_vars(). Scans plugins/platforms/*/plugin.yaml
  at import time and contributes entries to OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS so
  'hermes config' UI discovers them. Supports bare-string and rich-dict
  requires_env entries plus a new optional_env list for non-required
  vars (home channels, allowlists).

All additions are strictly opt-in. Existing plugins (IRC, Teams,
image_gen, memory) see zero behavior change until they adopt the new
fields.

69d025e4a7 feat(gateway): add allowed_{chats,channels,rooms} whitelist to Telegram, Mattermost, Matrix, DingTalk
Mirrors the Slack `allowed_channels` feature (PR #7401) and Discord's
`allowed_channels` (PR #7044) across the remaining group-capable platforms.
All five platforms (Slack + Discord + the four added here) now follow the
same pattern: primary config via config.yaml, env-var fallback as an escape
hatch — matching the project policy that .env is for secrets only and
behavioral settings belong in config.yaml.

Also fixes a duplicate `slack` key in DEFAULT_CONFIG introduced by PR
#7401 (the later entry silently overwrote `allowed_channels`, `require_mention`,
and `free_response_channels` at dict-literal evaluation time).

Platforms added:
- Telegram: `telegram.allowed_chats` (env alias: `TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_CHATS`)
- Mattermost: `mattermost.allowed_channels` (env alias: `MATTERMOST_ALLOWED_CHANNELS`)
- Matrix: `matrix.allowed_rooms` (env alias: `MATRIX_ALLOWED_ROOMS`)
- DingTalk: `dingtalk.allowed_chats` (env alias: `DINGTALK_ALLOWED_CHATS`)

Mattermost and Matrix previously had NO config.yaml bridging for any of
their gating settings; this PR adds `load_gateway_config` bridges for them
(Mattermost gets require_mention + free_response_channels + allowed_channels;
Matrix gets allowed_rooms on top of its existing bridges for require_mention
and free_response_rooms).

Semantics identical everywhere:
- Empty = no restriction (fully backward compatible).
- Non-empty = hard whitelist: non-listed chats are silently ignored,
  even when the bot is @mentioned.
- DMs bypass the check entirely.

DEFAULT_CONFIG merges the duplicate `slack` block and adds new `mattermost`
and `matrix` blocks so all gating settings surface in defaults.

Not included: Feishu (has its own per-chat `chat_rules` system that covers
this use case differently), WhatsApp (already has `group_allow_from` via
`group_policy: allowlist`), pure-DM platforms (Signal, SMS, BlueBubbles,
Yuanbao — no group concept).

52e2777821 feat(dashboard): support serving under URL prefix via X-Forwarded-Prefix
The Hermes dashboard previously assumed it was served at the root of its
host (e.g. https://kanban.tilos.com/). When mounted behind a path-prefix
reverse proxy (e.g. https://mission-control.tilos.com/hermes/), the SPA
404'd because:

- index.html shipped absolute /assets/index-*.js URLs
- React Router had no basename
- The plugin loader hit /dashboard-plugins/<name>/... at the root host
- CSS in the bundle had absolute url(/fonts/...) references

This patch makes the dashboard prefix-aware at runtime, no rebuild
required. The proxy injects 'X-Forwarded-Prefix: /hermes' on every
request and the Python server:

- Rewrites href/src in served index.html to '${prefix}/assets/...'
- Injects 'window.__HERMES_BASE_PATH__="${prefix}"' for the SPA to read
- Rewrites url() refs in CSS at serve time

The SPA reads window.__HERMES_BASE_PATH__ once at boot and:

- Prefixes all /api/... fetches via api.ts
- Prefixes all /dashboard-plugins/... script/css URLs in usePlugins
- Sets <BrowserRouter basename={...}> so client-side routing works

When no X-Forwarded-Prefix header is present, behavior is unchanged
(empty prefix => serves at root, kanban.tilos.com keeps working).

feat(models): add paid tencent/hy3-preview route on OpenRouter (#21077)
Add tencent/hy3-preview (without :free suffix) as a paid model route
alongside the existing free variant. This allows seamless transition
when the model moves from free to paid on OpenRouter — both routes
coexist so neither side's timing causes breakage.

Changes:
- models.py: add ("tencent/hy3-preview", "") to OPENROUTER_MODELS
- model-catalog.json: add paid variant entry
- tests: add assertions for paid route presence

The :free entry can be removed in a follow-up PR once OpenRouter
confirms the free route is deprecated.

80717a157f fix(discord): route DM role-auth opt-in through config.yaml (not env var)
Per repo policy, ~/.hermes/.env is for secrets only. Guild IDs are
behavioral configuration, not secrets. Replacing the
DISCORD_DM_ROLE_AUTH_GUILD env var from the original fix with
discord.dm_role_auth_guild in config.yaml.

- New module-level _read_dm_role_auth_guild() helper reads
  hermes_cli.config.read_raw_config()['discord']['dm_role_auth_guild'].
  Fails closed on any parse error (safe default = DM role-auth off).
- DEFAULT_CONFIG['discord'] gains dm_role_auth_guild: '' with a comment
  documenting the opt-in.
- Tests patch hermes_cli.config.read_raw_config directly (via the

feat(curator): add hermes curator list-archived command (#21236)
Lists the skills sitting in ~/.hermes/skills/.archive/ so users have
something to pass to `hermes curator restore`. `curator status` already
shows counts; this fills the name-discovery gap.

Archive layout is flat (`archive_skill` writes to `.archive/<skill>/`),
so the directory name IS the skill name — no frontmatter parsing
needed. Timestamped collision directories (`<skill>-<ts>`) are listed
literally; user can still pass them to `restore`.

Reshape of @EvilDrag0n's #20651, simplified: drop the frontmatter
rglob + preamble/trailer output + duplicate subcommand registration.

Enables plugins to transform LLM output text after generation,
useful for vocabulary/personality transformation without burning
inference tokens.

Follows same pattern as transform_tool_result and transform_terminal_output:
- First non-empty string result wins
- Fail-open: exceptions logged as warnings, agent continues
- Signature: (response_text, session_id, model, platform)

3c439ec681 feat(gateway): add hermes gateway list to show all profiles' gateway status
Add a new `hermes gateway list` subcommand that shows the running
status of gateways across all profiles in a single view:

    Gateways:
      ✓ default (current)        — PID 155469
      ✓ wx1                      — PID 166893
      ✗ dev                      — not running

Also includes `_print_other_profiles_gateway_status()` which appends
an "Other profiles" section to `hermes gateway status` output when
other profile gateways are running.

Both use existing `list_profiles()` and `find_profile_gateway_processes()`
— no new dependencies.

fix(kanban): auto-block workers that exit without completing (#20894) (#21214)
When a kanban worker subprocess exits rc=0 but its task is still in
status='running', the agent almost certainly answered the task
conversationally without calling kanban_complete or kanban_block. The
dispatcher used to classify this as a generic crash and respawn, which
loops forever on small local models (gemma4-e2b q4 etc.) that keep
returning clean but unproductive output.

Dispatcher changes:
- The waitpid reap loop at the top of dispatch_once now records each
  reaped child's raw exit status in a bounded module registry
  (_recent_worker_exits, TTL 600s, size cap 4096).
- _classify_worker_exit distinguishes clean_exit / nonzero_exit /
  signaled / unknown using os.WIFEXITED / WIFSIGNALED.
- detect_crashed_workers consults the classification when a worker
  is found dead. clean_exit → protocol_violation event + immediate
  circuit-breaker trip (failure_limit=1). Everything else keeps the
  existing crashed-event + counter behavior.
- DispatchResult.auto_blocked now includes protocol-violation trips.

Gateway fix (Bug A in #20894):
- gateway.run._notify_active_sessions_of_shutdown snapshots
  self.adapters with list(...) before iterating. adapter.send() can
  hit a fatal-error path that pops the adapter from the dict, which
  was raising 'RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration'
  during shutdown.

Regression tests:
- test_detect_crashed_workers_protocol_violation_auto_blocks verifies
  rc=0 + still-running → status=blocked on first occurrence with
  protocol_violation + gave_up events and NO crashed event.
- test_detect_crashed_workers_nonzero_exit_uses_default_limit verifies
  non-zero exits keep the existing 2-strike behavior.

Closes #20894.

abe5a3c937 fix(model_switch): live model discovery for custom_providers in /model picker
custom_providers entries (section 4 of list_authenticated_providers) only
read the static models: dict from config.yaml, ignoring the live /v1/models
endpoint.  This means gateways like Bifrost that expose hundreds of models
only show the handful explicitly listed in config.

Add live discovery via fetch_api_models() for custom_providers entries
that have api_key + base_url, matching the existing behavior for user
providers: entries (section 3).  When the endpoint is reachable and
returns models, the live list replaces the static subset.

Fixes: /model picker showing only 9 models from a Bifrost gateway that
actually exposes 581.

4f364c4e99 fix(mcp): give 'mcp add --command' a distinct argparse dest
The --command flag of `hermes mcp add` shared its argparse dest with the
top-level subparser (`dest="command"` in `hermes_cli/_parser.py`). When
the flag was omitted, argparse still wrote `args.command = None`,
clobbering the top-level value of `"mcp"`. The dispatcher then saw
`args.command is None` and fell through to interactive chat, so
`hermes mcp add ...` silently launched chat instead of registering the
server. `cmd_mcp_add` was never reached.

Use `dest="mcp_command"` on the flag and read it from `cmd_mcp_add`.
The user-facing CLI flag `--command` is unchanged; only the in-memory
namespace attribute moves. Also updates the `_make_args` helper in
`tests/hermes_cli/test_mcp_config.py` to populate the new dest, and
adds `tests/hermes_cli/test_mcp_add_command_dest.py` with a parser-
level regression test.

Closes #19785.

fix(security): close TOCTOU window in hermes_cli/auth.py credential writers (#21194)
`_save_auth_store`, `_save_qwen_cli_tokens`, and `_write_shared_nous_state`
all created the temp file via `Path.open('w')` / `Path.write_text` and only
tightened permissions to 0o600 afterward. Between create and chmod the file
existed at the process umask (commonly 0o644 = world-readable on multi-user
hosts), briefly exposing OAuth access/refresh tokens for Nous, Codex,
Copilot, Claude, Qwen, Gemini, and every other native OAuth provider that
flows through auth.json.

Switch all three to `os.open(O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0o600)` + `os.fdopen`
+ `fsync` so the file is atomic at 0o600 on creation. Tighten each parent
directory (`~/.hermes/`, Qwen auth dir, Nous shared auth dir) to 0o700 so
siblings can't traverse to the creds. `_save_auth_store` also gains a
per-process random temp suffix to match `agent/google_oauth.py` (#19673)
and `tools/mcp_oauth.py` (#21148).

Adds `tests/hermes_cli/test_auth_toctou_file_modes.py` asserting final
file mode 0o600 and parent dir mode 0o700 across all three writers, plus
an explicit `os.open(flags, mode)` check on the main auth.json writer
that would fail if anyone reintroduces the `Path.open('w')` pattern.
POSIX-only (mode bits skipped on Windows).

429e78589b refactor(auth): dedupe file-lock helper; document Nous lock order
Extract the shared flock/msvcrt boilerplate from _auth_store_lock and
_nous_shared_store_lock into a single _file_lock(lock_path, holder,
timeout, message) helper. Each caller keeps its own threading.local
holder so reentrancy state stays per-lock.

Also document the lock-ordering invariant on both wrappers:
_auth_store_lock is OUTER, _nous_shared_store_lock is INNER for all
runtime refresh paths. The one exception is _try_import_shared_nous_state,
which holds the shared lock alone across the full HTTP refresh+mint
cycle to prevent concurrent sibling imports from racing on the single-
use shared refresh token; that helper must not be called with the auth
lock already held.

b49a3f8474 fix(kanban): reap completed worker children in dispatch_once
The gateway-embedded dispatcher (default since `kanban.dispatch_in_gateway
= true`) is the parent of every spawned kanban worker. `_default_spawn`
calls `subprocess.Popen(..., start_new_session=True)` and returns the
pid — `start_new_session` detaches the controlling tty but does not
reparent to init, so the gateway keeps each worker as a child until it
`wait()`s for them.

Nothing in the dispatch loop ever calls `waitpid`. Result: every
completed worker becomes a `<defunct>` zombie that lingers until the
gateway exits. We hit ~430 zombies on a single hermes-agent container
after ~40 days of steady kanban traffic, approaching process-table
exhaustion on the host.

Fix: add a non-blocking reap loop at the top of `dispatch_once`, so
every dispatcher tick (default 60s) drains zombies that accumulated
since the last tick. WNOHANG keeps the call non-blocking; ChildProcessError
means no children to reap.

Why here, not a SIGCHLD handler:
- signal.signal requires the main thread; gateway threading model makes
  that placement non-trivial.
- Bounded staleness: at default interval=60s the maximum live zombie
  count is one tick's worth of worker completions.
- No interaction with detect_crashed_workers: that function only inspects
  rows where status='running', and rows reach 'done' (and stop being
  inspected) before their workers exit.

feat(profiles): --no-skills flag for empty profile creation (#20986)
Adds `hermes profile create <name> --no-skills` to create a profile with
zero bundled skills. Writes a `.no-bundled-skills` marker file in the
profile root so `hermes update`'s all-profile skill sync loop also skips
the profile — without the marker, every update would re-seed skills and
the user would have to delete them again.

Use case (from @hiut1u): orchestrator profiles and narrow-task profiles
don't need 100+ bundled skills polluting their system prompt.

- create_profile() gains a `no_skills` param, mutually exclusive with
  `--clone` / `--clone-all` (cloning explicitly copies skills).
- seed_profile_skills() no-ops on opted-out profiles and returns
  `{skipped_opt_out: True}` so callers can report cleanly.
- Web API (POST /api/profiles) accepts `no_skills: bool`.
- Delete `.no-bundled-skills` to opt back in — next `hermes update`
  re-seeds normally.

6 new tests in TestNoSkillsOptOut cover marker write, mutual exclusion
with clone, seed_profile_skills opt-out, fresh profile unaffected, and
delete-marker-re-enables-seeding.

3cdbf334d5 fix(gateway): don't dead-end setup wizard when only system-scope unit is installed
The setup wizard dropped non-root users at a bare shell prompt when
trying to start a system-scope gateway service. Previously
_require_root_for_system_service called sys.exit(1), which the
wizard's `except Exception` guards cannot catch (SystemExit is a
BaseException). Users with a pre-existing /etc/systemd/system unit
(e.g. from an earlier `sudo hermes setup` run) hit this whenever
they re-ran `hermes setup` as a regular user.

- Convert _require_root_for_system_service to raise a typed
  SystemScopeRequiresRootError (RuntimeError subclass) instead of
  sys.exit(1). The direct CLI path (`hermes gateway install|start|stop|
  restart|uninstall` without sudo) still exits 1 cleanly via a new
  catch at the top of gateway_command, matching the existing
  UserSystemdUnavailableError pattern.
- Add _system_scope_wizard_would_need_root() pre-check and
  _print_system_scope_remediation() helper. Both setup wizards
  (hermes_cli/setup.py and hermes_cli/gateway.py::gateway_setup) now
  detect the dead-end before prompting and print actionable guidance:
  either `sudo systemctl start <service>` this time, or uninstall the
  system unit and install a per-user one.
- Defense-in-depth: all 5 wizard prompt sites also catch
  SystemScopeRequiresRootError and fall back to the remediation
  helper if the pre-check is bypassed (race, etc.).

Tests: 12 new tests in TestSystemScopeRequiresRootError,
TestSystemScopeWizardPreCheck, TestSystemScopeRemediationOutput, and
TestGatewayCommandCatchesSystemScopeError covering the exception
contract, pre-check matrix (root vs non-root, system-only vs
user-present vs none vs explicit system=True), remediation output
for each action, and the direct-CLI exit-1 path.

fix(tui): restore voice push-to-talk parity (#20897)
* fix(tui): restore classic CLI voice push-to-talk parity

(cherry picked from commit 93b9ae301bb89f5b5e01b4b9f8ac91ffa74fbd9d)

* fix(tui): harden voice push-to-talk stop flow

Address review feedback from PR #16189 by stopping the active recorder before background transcription, documenting single-shot voice capture, and covering the TUI gateway flags with regression tests.

* fix(tui): preserve silent voice strike tracking

Keep single-shot voice recording's no-speech counter alive across starts so the TUI can still emit the three-strikes auto-disable event, and bind the auto-restart state at module scope for type checking.

* fix(tui): clean up voice stop failure path

Address follow-up review by naming the TUI flow as single-shot push-to-talk and cancelling the recorder when forced stop cannot produce a WAV.

* fix(tui): report busy voice capture starts

Return explicit start state from the voice wrapper so the TUI gateway does not report recording while forced-stop transcription is still cleaning up.

* fix(tui): handle busy voice record responses

Apply the gateway busy status immediately in the TUI and route forced-stop voice events to the session that sent the stop request.

* fix(tui): clear voice recording on null response

Treat a null voice.record RPC result as a failed optimistic start so the REC badge cannot stick after gateway-side errors.

* fix(tui): count silent manual voice stops

Preserve single-shot voice no-speech strikes through forced stop transcription so empty push-to-talk captures still trigger the three-strikes guard.

33bf5f6292 fix(auth): fall back to global-root auth.json for providers missing in profile
Profile processes (kanban workers, cron subprocesses, delegated subagents)
read the profile's auth.json only. If a provider was authenticated at the
global root but not inside the profile, the profile's credential_pool
comes back empty and the process fails with 'No LLM provider configured'
— even though the credentials are sitting in ~/.hermes/auth.json. #18594
propagated HERMES_HOME correctly, which is what surfaced this: workers
now land in the right profile, and the profile turns out to shadow global
with no fallback.

Semantics (read-only, per-provider shadowing):
* Profile has any entries for provider X → use profile only (global ignored).
* Profile has zero entries for provider X → fall back to global.
* Writes (write_credential_pool, _save_auth_store) still target the profile.
* Classic mode (HERMES_HOME == global root) skips the fallback entirely —
  _global_auth_file_path() returns None.

Also mirrors the fallback in get_provider_auth_state so OAuth singletons
(nous, minimax-oauth, openai-codex, spotify) inherit cleanly — the Nous
shared-token store (PR #19712) remains the authoritative path for Nous
OAuth rotation, this just makes the read side consistent with it.

Seat belt: _load_global_auth_store() refuses to read the real user's
~/.hermes/auth.json under PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST even when HERMES_HOME points
to a profile-shaped path. Guard uses $HOME (stable across fixtures) rather
than Path.home() (which fixtures often monkeypatch to a tmp root).

Reported by @SeedsForbidden on Twitter as the credential_pool shadowing
follow-up to the #18594 fix.

feat(web): add SearXNG as a native search-only backend
Adds SearXNG as a free, self-hosted web search provider.  SearXNG is a
privacy-respecting metasearch engine that requires no API key — just a
running instance and SEARXNG_URL pointing at it.

## What this adds

- `tools/web_providers/searxng.py` — `SearXNGSearchProvider` implementing
  `WebSearchProvider` (search only; no extract capability)
- `_is_backend_available("searxng")` — gates on SEARXNG_URL
- `_get_backend()` — accepts "searxng" as a configured value; adds it to
  auto-detect candidates (lower priority than paid services)
- `web_search_tool` — dispatches to SearXNG when it is the active backend
- `check_web_api_key()` — includes SearXNG in availability check
- `OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS["SEARXNG_URL"]` — registered with tools=["web_search"]
- `tools_config.py` — SearXNG appears in the `hermes tools` provider picker
- `nous_subscription.py` — `direct_searxng` detection, web_active / web_available
- `setup.py` — SEARXNG_URL listed in the missing-credential hint
- 23 tests covering: is_configured, happy-path search, score sorting, limit,
  HTTP/request errors, _is_backend_available, _get_backend, check_web_api_key

## Config

```yaml
# Use SearXNG for search, any paid provider for extract
web:
  search_backend: "searxng"
  extract_backend: "firecrawl"

# Or: SearXNG as the sole backend (web_extract will use the next available)
web:
  backend: "searxng"
```

SearXNG is search-only — it does not implement WebExtractProvider.  Users
who only configure SEARXNG_URL get web_search available; web_extract falls
back to the next available extract provider (or is unavailable if none).

Closes #19198 (Phase 2 Task 4 — SearXNG provider)

refactor(web): per-capability backend selection for search/extract split
Introduce the foundation for independently selecting web search and
extract backends — enabling future combinations like SearXNG for
search + Firecrawl for extract.

Architecture:
- tools/web_providers/base.py: WebSearchProvider and WebExtractProvider
  ABCs with normalized result contracts (mirrors CloudBrowserProvider)
- tools/web_tools.py: _get_search_backend() and _get_extract_backend()
  read per-capability config keys, fall through to shared web.backend
- hermes_cli/config.py: web.search_backend and web.extract_backend in
  DEFAULT_CONFIG (empty = inherit from web.backend)

Behavioral change:
- web_search_tool() now dispatches via _get_search_backend()
- web_extract_tool() now dispatches via _get_extract_backend()
- When per-capability keys are empty (default), behavior is identical
  to before — _get_search_backend() falls through to _get_backend()

This is purely structural — no new backends are added. SearXNG and
other search-only/extract-only providers can now be added as simple
drop-in modules in follow-up PRs.

12 new tests, 49 existing tests pass with zero regressions.

fix(opencode-go): keep users on opencode-go instead of hijacking to native providers (#20802)
OpenCode Go and OpenCode Zen are flat-namespace model resellers — their
/v1/models returns bare IDs (deepseek-v4-flash, minimax-m2.7), and the
inference API rejects vendor-prefixed names with HTTP 401 'Model not
supported'. Two bugs fixed:

1. `switch_model` in hermes_cli/model_switch.py was silently switching the
   user off opencode-go to native deepseek when they typed
   `/model deepseek-v4-flash`. Step d found the model in opencode-go's live
   catalog, but step e (detect_provider_for_model) still ran and matched
   the bare name against deepseek's static catalog. Fix: track whether
   the live catalog resolved it; skip step e when it did.

2. `normalize_model_for_provider` in hermes_cli/model_normalize.py only
   stripped the exact `opencode-zen/` prefix, leaving arbitrary vendor
   prefixes like `minimax/minimax-m2.7` (commonly copied from aggregator
   slugs into fallback_model configs) intact — causing HTTP 401s when
   the fallback chain activated. Fix: opencode-go/opencode-zen strip ANY
   leading vendor prefix because their APIs are flat-namespace.

Tests: 11 new cases in tests/hermes_cli/test_opencode_go_flat_namespace.py
covering both normalization (prefix stripping, regression guards for
opencode-zen Claude hyphenation and openrouter vendor-prepending) and
switch_model (bare-name resolution on opencode-go's live catalog must
not trigger cross-provider hijack).

Reported by @Ufonik via Discord; Kimi K2.6 always worked because moonshotai

feat(skills/linear): add Documents support + Python helper script (#20752)
* feat(skills/linear): add Documents support + Python helper script

The bundled Linear skill (PR #1230) covered issues, projects, teams, and
workflow states via curl. It had no coverage for Linear's Documents API,
so fetching an RFC/doc from a linear.app URL required hand-writing
GraphQL against an underdocumented schema.

Adds:
- Documents section in SKILL.md explaining slugId extraction from URLs,
  the contentState (markdown) vs contentState (ProseMirror) split, and
  four canonical curl examples (fetch by slugId, fetch by UUID, list
  recent, title-search).
- scripts/linear_api.py — stdlib-only Python CLI wrapping the most
  common operations (whoami, list-teams, list/get/search/create/update
  issues, add-comment, update-status, list/get/search documents, raw
  GraphQL passthrough). Zero deps, reads LINEAR_API_KEY from env.

Auth header quirk (personal key takes bare $LINEAR_API_KEY, no Bearer
prefix) is already documented in the skill.

Found during RFC review: the existing skill's lack of document support
forced falling back to the browser (which hit Linear's login wall).
Also fixes a schema gotcha — the Document field is `contentState`, not
`contentData` (which returns 400).

Tested end-to-end against the production API:
  python3 linear_api.py whoami
  python3 linear_api.py get-document 38359beef67c
Both return expected payloads.

* fix(skills/linear): point LINEAR_API_KEY setup to the correct page

The org-level Settings > API page (/settings/api) only shows OAuth apps
and workspace-member keys. Personal API keys live under Account,
Security, access (/settings/account/security). Update both the setup
link in config.py (shown during hermes setup) and the setup step in
SKILL.md so users land on the page that can create a personal key.

docs: pluggable surfaces coverage — model-provider guide, full plugin map, opt-in fix (#20749)
* docs(providers): add model-provider-plugin authoring guide + fix stale refs

New docs:
- website/docs/developer-guide/model-provider-plugin.md — full authoring
  guide (directory layout, minimal example, ProviderProfile fields,
  overridable hooks, user overrides, api_mode selection, auth types,
  testing, pip distribution)
- Wired into website/sidebars.ts under 'Extending'
- Cross-references added in:
  - guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md (tip block)
  - developer-guide/adding-providers.md
  - developer-guide/provider-runtime.md

User guide:
- user-guide/features/plugins.md: Plugin types table grows from 3 to 4
  with 'Model providers' row

Stale comment cleanup (providers/*.py → plugins/model-providers/<name>/):
- hermes_cli/main.py:_is_profile_api_key_provider docstring
- hermes_cli/doctor.py:_build_apikey_providers_list docstring
- hermes_cli/auth.py: PROVIDER_REGISTRY + alias auto-extension comments
- hermes_cli/models.py: CANONICAL_PROVIDERS auto-extension comment

AGENTS.md:
- Project-structure tree: added plugins/model-providers/ row
- New section: 'Model-provider plugins' explaining discovery, override
  semantics, PluginManager integration, kind auto-coerce heuristic

Verified: docusaurus build succeeds, new page renders, all 3 cross-links
resolve. 347/347 targeted tests pass (tests/providers/,
tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py, tests/hermes_cli/test_runtime_provider_resolution.py,
tests/run_agent/test_provider_parity.py).

* docs(plugins): add 'pluggable interfaces at a glance' maps to plugins.md + build-a-hermes-plugin

Devs landing on either the user-guide plugin page or the build-a-plugin
guide now get an upfront table of every distinct pluggable surface with
a link to the right authoring doc. Previously they'd have to read the
full general-plugin guide to discover that model providers / platforms
/ memory / context engines are separate systems.

user-guide/features/plugins.md:
- New 'Pluggable interfaces — where to go for each' section below the
  existing 4-kinds table
- 10 rows covering every register_* surface (tool, hook, slash command,
  CLI subcommand, skill, model provider, platform, memory, context
  engine, image-gen)
- Explicit note: TTS/STT are NOT plugin-extensible yet — documented
  with a pointer to the current config.yaml 'command providers' pattern
  and a note that register_tts_provider()/register_stt_provider() may
  come later

guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md:
- New :::info 'Not sure which guide you need?' map at the top so devs
  see all pluggable interfaces before investing in this 737-line
  general-plugin walkthrough
- Existing bottom :::tip expanded to include platform adapters alongside
  model/memory/context plugins

Verified:
- All 8 cross-doc links in the new plugins.md table resolve in a
  docusaurus build (SUCCESS, no new broken links)
- TTS link corrected (features/voice → features/tts; latter exists)
- Pre-existing broken links/anchors (cron-script-only, llms.txt,
  adding-platform-adapters#step-by-step-checklist) are unchanged

* docs(plugins): correct TTS/STT pluggability \u2014 they ARE plugins (command-providers)

Previous commit incorrectly said TTS/STT 'aren't plugin-extensible'. They
are, via the config-driven command-provider pattern \u2014 any CLI that reads
text and writes audio (or vice versa for STT) is automatically a plugin
with zero Python. The tts.md docs cover this extensively and I missed it.

plugins.md:
- TTS row: 'Config-driven (not a Python plugin)', points at
  tts.md#custom-command-providers
- STT row: points at tts.md#voice-message-transcription-stt (STT docs
  live in tts.md despite the filename)
- Expanded note: TTS/STT use config-driven shell-command templates as
  their plugin surface (full tts.providers.<name> registry for TTS;
  HERMES_LOCAL_STT_COMMAND escape hatch for STT)
- Any CLI that reads/writes files is automatically a plugin \u2014 no Python
  register_* API needed
- Future register_tts_provider()/register_stt_provider() hooks mentioned
  as nice-to-have for SDK/streaming cases, not as the primary story

build-a-hermes-plugin.md:
- Same map update: TTS/STT rows explicit, footer note corrected

Verified:
- tts.md anchors (custom-command-providers, voice-message-transcription-stt)
  exist and resolve in docusaurus build (SUCCESS, no new broken links)

* docs(plugins): expand pluggable interfaces table with MCP / event hooks / shell hooks / skill taps

Broadened the scope beyond Python register_* hooks. Hermes has MULTIPLE
plugin-style extension surfaces; they're now all in one table instead of
being scattered across feature docs.

Added rows for:
- **MCP servers** — config.yaml mcp_servers.<name> auto-registers external
  tools from any MCP server. Huge extensibility surface, previously not
  linked from the plugin map.
- **Gateway event hooks** — drop HOOK.yaml + handler.py into
  ~/.hermes/hooks/<name>/ to fire on gateway:startup, session:*, agent:*,
  command:* events. Separate from Python plugin hooks.
- **Shell hooks** — hooks: block in config.yaml runs shell commands on
  events (notifications, auditing, etc.).
- **Skill sources (taps)** — hermes skills tap add <repo> to pull in new
  skill registries beyond the built-in sources.

Both docs updated:
- user-guide/features/plugins.md: table column renamed to 'How' (mixes
  Python API + config-driven + drop-in-dir surfaces accurately)
- guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md: :::info map at top mirrors the new
  surfaces with a forward-link to the consolidated table

Note block rewritten: instead of singling out TTS/STT as the 'different
style' exception, now honestly describes that Hermes deliberately
supports three plugin styles — Python APIs, config-driven commands, and
drop-in manifest directories — and devs should pick the one that fits
their integration.

Not included (considered and rejected):
- Transport layer (register_transport) — internal, not user-facing
- Tool-call parsers — internal, VLLM phase-2 thing
- Cloud browser providers — hardcoded registry, not drop-in yet
- Terminal backends — hardcoded if/elif, not drop-in yet
- Skill sources (the ABC) — hardcoded list, only taps are user-extensible

Verified:
- All 5 new anchors resolve (gateway-event-hooks, shell-hooks, skills-hub,
  custom-command-providers, voice-message-transcription-stt)
- Docusaurus build SUCCESS, zero new broken links
- Same 3 pre-existing broken links on main (cron-script-only, llms.txt,
  adding-platform-adapters#step-by-step-checklist)

* docs(plugins): cover every pluggable surface in both the overview and how-to

Both plugins.md and build-a-hermes-plugin.md now cover every extension
surface end-to-end \u2014 general plugin APIs, specialized plugin types,
config-driven surfaces \u2014 with concrete authoring patterns for each.

plugins.md:
- 'What plugins can do' table grows from 9 rows (general ctx.register_*
  only) to 14 rows covering register_platform, register_image_gen_provider,
  register_context_engine, MemoryProvider subclass, register_provider
  (model). Each row links to its full authoring guide.
- New 'Plugin sub-categories' section under Plugin Discovery explains
  how plugins/platforms/, plugins/image_gen/, plugins/memory/,
  plugins/context_engine/, plugins/model-providers/ are routed to
  different loaders \u2014 PluginManager vs the per-category own-loader
  systems.
- Explicit mention of user-override semantics at
  ~/.hermes/plugins/model-providers/ and ~/.hermes/plugins/memory/.

build-a-hermes-plugin.md:
- New '## Specialized plugin types' section (5 sub-sections):
  - Model provider plugins \u2014 ProviderProfile + plugin.yaml example,
    auto-wiring summary, link to full guide
  - Platform plugins \u2014 BasePlatformAdapter + register_platform() skeleton
  - Memory provider plugins \u2014 MemoryProvider subclass example
  - Context engine plugins \u2014 ContextEngine subclass example
  - Image-generation backends \u2014 ImageGenProvider + kind: backend example
- New '## Non-Python extension surfaces' section (5 sub-sections):
  - MCP servers \u2014 config.yaml mcp_servers.<name> example
  - Gateway event hooks \u2014 HOOK.yaml + handler.py example
  - Shell hooks \u2014 hooks: block in config.yaml example
  - Skill sources (taps) \u2014 hermes skills tap add example
  - TTS / STT command templates \u2014 tts.providers.<name> with type: command
- Distribute via pip / NixOS promoted from ### to ## (they were orphaned
  after the reorganization)

Each specialized / non-Python section has a concrete, copy-pasteable
example plus a 'Full guide:' link to the authoritative doc. Devs arriving
at the build-a-hermes-plugin guide now see every extension surface at
their disposal, not just the general tool/hook/slash-command surface.

Verified:
- Docusaurus build SUCCESS, zero new broken links
- All new cross-links (developer-guide/model-provider-plugin,
  adding-platform-adapters, memory-provider-plugin, context-engine-plugin,
  user-guide/features/mcp, skills#skills-hub, hooks#gateway-event-hooks,
  hooks#shell-hooks, tts#custom-command-providers,
  tts#voice-message-transcription-stt) resolve
- Same 3 pre-existing broken links on main (cron-script-only, llms.txt,
  adding-platform-adapters#step-by-step-checklist)

* docs(plugins): fix opt-in inconsistency — not every plugin is gated

The 'Every plugin is disabled by default' statement was wrong. Several
plugin categories intentionally bypass plugins.enabled:

- Bundled platform plugins (IRC, Teams) auto-load so shipped gateway
  channels are available out of the box. Activation per channel is via
  gateway.platforms.<name>.enabled.
- Bundled backends (plugins/image_gen/*) auto-load so the default
  backend 'just works'. Selection via <category>.provider config.
- Memory providers are all discovered; one is active via memory.provider.
- Context engines are all discovered; one is active via context.engine.
- Model providers: all 33 discovered at first get_provider_profile();
  user picks via --provider / config.

The plugins.enabled allow-list specifically gates:
- Standalone plugins (general tools/hooks/slash commands)
- User-installed backends
- User-installed platforms (third-party gateway adapters)
- Pip entry-point backends

Which matches the actual code in hermes_cli/plugins.py:737 where the
bundled+backend/platform check bypasses the allow-list.

Rewrote '## Plugins are opt-in' to:
- Retitle to 'Plugins are opt-in (with a few exceptions)'
- Narrow opening claim to 'General plugins and user-installed backends
  are disabled by default'
- Added 'What the allow-list does NOT gate' subsection with a full
  table of which bypass the gate and how they're activated instead
- Fixed migration section wording (bundled platform/backend plugins
  never needed grandfathering)

Verified: docusaurus build SUCCESS, zero new broken links.

feat(checkpoints): v2 single-store rewrite with real pruning + disk guardrails (#20709)
Replaces the per-directory shadow-repo design with a single shared shadow
git store at ~/.hermes/checkpoints/store/. Object DB is now deduplicated
across every working directory the agent has ever touched; a dozen
worktrees of the same project cost near-zero in additional disk.

Why
---
Pre-v2 design had three compounding problems that let ~/.hermes/checkpoints/
grow to multi-GB on active machines:

1. Each working directory got its own full shadow git repo — no object
   dedup across projects or across worktrees of the same project.
2. _prune() was a documented no-op: max_snapshots only limited the
   /rollback listing. Loose objects accumulated forever.
3. Defaults: enabled=True, auto_prune=False — users paid the disk cost
   without ever asking for /rollback.

Field report on a single workstation: 847 MB across 47 shadow repos,
mostly redundant clones of the hermes-agent source tree.

Changes
-------
- tools/checkpoint_manager.py: full rewrite. Single bare store, per-project
  refs (refs/hermes/<hash>), per-project indexes (store/indexes/<hash>),
  per-project metadata (store/projects/<hash>.json with workdir +
  created_at + last_touch). On first v2 init, any pre-v2 per-directory
  shadow repos are auto-migrated into legacy-<timestamp>/ so the new
  store starts clean. _prune() now actually rewrites the per-project ref
  to the last max_snapshots commits and runs git gc --prune=now. New
  _enforce_size_cap() drops oldest commits round-robin across projects
  when the store exceeds max_total_size_mb. _drop_oversize_from_index()
  filters any single file larger than max_file_size_mb out of the snapshot.
- hermes_cli/checkpoints.py: new 'hermes checkpoints' CLI
  (status / list / prune / clear / clear-legacy) for managing the store
  outside a session.
- hermes_cli/config.py: flipped defaults — enabled=False, max_snapshots=20,
  auto_prune=True. Added max_total_size_mb=500, max_file_size_mb=10.
  Tightened DEFAULT_EXCLUDES (added target/, *.so/*.dylib/*.dll,
  *.mp4/*.mov, *.zip/*.tar.gz, .worktrees/, .mypy_cache/, etc.).
- run_agent.py / cli.py / gateway/run.py: thread the new kwargs through
  AIAgent and the startup auto_prune hooks.
- Tests rewritten to match v2 storage while keeping backwards-compat
  coverage for the pre-v2 prune path (per-directory shadow repos under
  base/ are still swept correctly for anyone mid-migration).
- Docs updated: user-guide/checkpoints-and-rollback.md explains the
  shared store, new defaults, migration, and the new CLI;
  reference/cli-commands.md documents 'hermes checkpoints'.

E2E validated
-------------
- Legacy migration: pre-v2 shadow repos auto-archived into legacy-<ts>/.
- Object dedup: two projects with an identical shared.py blob resolve to
  7 total objects in the store (v1 would have stored the blob twice).
- max_snapshots=3 actually enforced: after 6 commits, list shows 3.
- Orphan prune: deleting a project's workdir + 'hermes checkpoints prune
  --retention-days 0' removes its ref, index, and metadata; GC reclaims
  the objects.
- max_file_size_mb=1 excludes a 2 MB weights.bin while keeping the
  tracked source code files.
- hermes checkpoints {status,prune,clear,clear-legacy} all work from the
  CLI without an agent running.

Breaking / migration
--------------------
No in-place data migration — legacy per-directory shadow repos are moved
into legacy-<timestamp>/ on first run. Old /rollback history is still
accessible by inspecting the archive with git; run
'hermes checkpoints clear-legacy' to reclaim the space when ready. Users
relying on /rollback must now set checkpoints.enabled=true (or pass
--checkpoints) explicitly.

fix(update): drop pip --quiet so slow installs don't look hung (#20679)
On Termux/Android aarch64 (and other platforms without prebuilt wheels
for some optional extras), 'pip install -e .[all]' compiles C/Rust
extensions from source. This can run for several minutes with zero
network activity and — with --quiet — zero stdout. Users report
'hermes update hangs at Updating Python dependencies', Ctrl+C it, then
re-run and see 'up to date' (because git pull already succeeded and the
pip step was still working when they interrupted).

Pip's default output is proportional to actual work (one line per
Collecting / Building wheel for X / Installing), so removing --quiet
costs nothing on fast hardware and prevents the false-hang interrupt
loop on slow hardware.

Reported via Discord on Termux/Android. Supersedes #20466 which
misdiagnosed the hang as PYTHONPATH shadowing (install.sh doesn't run
during 'hermes update', and terminal() doesn't inherit PYTHONPATH).

395dbcc873 feat(browser): add Lightpanda engine support with automatic Chrome fallback
Add Lightpanda as an optional browser engine for local mode.
Lightpanda is a headless browser built from scratch in Zig -- faster
navigation than Chrome with significantly less memory.

One config line to enable:
  browser:
    engine: lightpanda

New functions in browser_tool.py:
- _get_browser_engine() -- config/env reader with validation + caching
- _should_inject_engine() -- only inject in local non-cloud mode
- _needs_lightpanda_fallback() -- detect empty/failed LP results
- _chrome_fallback_screenshot() -- temporary Chrome session for screenshots
- Engine injection in _run_browser_command (--engine flag)
- browser_vision pre-routes screenshots to Chrome when engine=lightpanda

Config:
- browser.engine in DEFAULT_CONFIG (auto/lightpanda/chrome)
- AGENT_BROWSER_ENGINE in OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS
- /browser status shows engine info in local mode

Rebased from PR #7144 onto current main. All existing code preserved --
pure additions only (+520/-2).

25 new tests + 81 total browser tests pass (0 failures).

3f97297413 feat(kanban): surface task_runs.summary on dashboard cards + `kanban show`
The kanban-worker skill (built into the gateway dispatcher's spawn
prompt) instructs every worker to hand off via
``kanban_complete(summary=..., metadata=...)``. That writes the summary
onto the closing ``task_runs`` row, NOT onto ``tasks.result`` — the
latter is left NULL unless the caller passes ``result=`` explicitly.

Result: a glance at the dashboard or ``hermes kanban show <id>`` shows
a blank "Result:" section even when the worker did real work, which
on 2026-05-05 caused a Mac false-alarm ("Hermes did nothing") on a
task that had a 10-line completion summary on its run.

This patch surfaces the latest non-null run summary as
``latest_summary`` so the worker's actual handoff lands in front of
operators.

* New helpers ``kanban_db.latest_summary(conn, task_id)`` and
  ``kanban_db.latest_summaries(conn, task_ids)``. The batch variant
  uses a single window-function SELECT so the dashboard board endpoint
  doesn't pay an N+1 cost on multi-hundred-task boards.
* CLI ``hermes kanban show <id>`` prints a "Latest summary:" block
  when ``tasks.result`` is empty but a run has produced a summary
  (the existing "Result:" section still wins when populated, so the
  back-compat path for hand-edited results is untouched). JSON output
  gains a top-level ``latest_summary`` field.
* Dashboard ``/board`` and ``/tasks/{id}`` now include a
  ``latest_summary`` field on every task. Cards on /board carry a
  200-character preview (cheap to render, plenty for "what did this
  worker do?" at a glance); the drawer/detail endpoint returns the
  full summary.
* Five new tests cover: empty-runs case, post-complete surface,
  newest-of-multiple selection, empty-string skip, batch with
  missing tasks + empty input.

Smoke-tested locally against the live profile DB on the three
acceptance-criterion targets (t_f08fef91 cron-hygiene-audit,
t_007b7f1c EMA-analysis, t_05746fa4 self-assessment) — all three now
return their populated summaries via both ``latest_summary`` and
``latest_summaries``.

Test plan: 255/255 kanban tests pass + 91/91 dashboard plugin tests
pass. No regression on tasks where ``tasks.result`` is explicitly
populated (the existing "Result:" branch is preserved).

6d302b340e fix(kanban): accept created_cards linked as child of completing task
Widens _verify_created_cards to also accept ids that are children of the
completing task in task_links. Previously we only accepted cards where
created_by matched the completing task's assignee, which was too strict
for legitimate orchestrator flows: a specifier creates a card (so
created_by=specifier, not worker), then a worker picks it up and passes
parents=[current_task] to kanban_create. The explicit link proves the
relationship and should be trusted.

Salvaged from #20022 @LeonSGP43 (full PR superseded by #20232 +
this patch; the linked-children relaxation was the portable
improvement).

fix(kanban): unify failure counter across spawn/timeout/crash outcomes (#20410)
The dispatcher's circuit breaker only protected against spawn-side
failures (profile missing, workspace mount error, exec failure).
Workers that successfully spawned but then timed out or crashed
re-queued to ``ready`` with no counter increment, so the next tick
re-spawned them — loops forever until someone noticed. Reported
externally on Twitter (Forbidden Seeds) and confirmed by walking the
kernel: ``enforce_max_runtime`` flipped the task back to ready, emitted
a ``timed_out`` event, and never touched ``spawn_failures``; same for
``detect_crashed_workers``.

Fix: unify the counter across all non-success outcomes.

Schema
------
* ``tasks.spawn_failures`` → ``tasks.consecutive_failures``
* ``tasks.last_spawn_error`` → ``tasks.last_failure_error``
* Migration renames the columns in-place on existing DBs (``ALTER
  TABLE RENAME COLUMN`` — SQLite >= 3.25) so historical counter
  values are preserved. Row mappers fall through to the legacy names
  if both column renames and a migration somehow got out of sync.

Counter lifecycle
-----------------
New helper ``_record_task_failure(conn, task_id, error, *, outcome,
release_claim, end_run, event_payload_extra)`` is the single point
every non-success outcome funnels through:

* ``spawn_failed``  → ``_record_spawn_failure`` (kept as alias)
  calls it with ``release_claim=True, end_run=True`` — transitions
  running→ready, clears claim, closes run.
* ``timed_out`` → ``enforce_max_runtime`` already does the status
  transition + run close + event emission, then calls
  ``_record_task_failure`` with ``release_claim=False, end_run=False``
  just to bump the counter (and trip the breaker if needed).
* ``crashed`` → ``detect_crashed_workers`` same pattern, but the
  counter increment runs after the main write_txn closes (SQLite
  doesn't nest write transactions).

If the counter hits the breaker threshold (``DEFAULT_FAILURE_LIMIT=5``,
same as before), the task transitions to ``blocked`` with a ``gave_up``
event on top of whatever outcome-specific event was already emitted.

Reset semantics changed: the counter now clears only on successful
``complete_task`` (and operator ``reclaim_task`` — an explicit "I've
looked at this, try again with a fresh budget"). Previously
``_clear_spawn_failures`` ran on every successful spawn, which would
have wiped the counter before a timeout could accumulate past threshold
— exactly the loop this fix prevents.

Diagnostics
-----------
* ``_rule_repeated_spawn_failures`` → ``_rule_repeated_failures``. Now
  fires regardless of which outcome is at fault. Classifies the most
  recent failure (spawn_failed / timed_out / crashed) from the run
  history so the title ("Agent timeout x3", "Agent crash x4", "Agent
  spawn x5") and suggested action (``doctor`` for spawn, ``log`` for
  timeout/crash) stay outcome-specific without N duplicate rules.
* ``_rule_repeated_crashes`` kept as a narrower early-warning at
  threshold 2 (vs 3 for the unified rule), but now suppresses itself
  when the unified rule would also fire — avoids double-flagging.
* Diagnostic ``data`` payload now carries
  ``{consecutive_failures, most_recent_outcome, last_error}`` instead
  of spawn-specific keys.

CLI
---
* ``Task.consecutive_failures`` / ``Task.last_failure_error`` are the
  public fields now. Existing callers that referenced the old names
  get migrated (tests updated in this commit).
* Backward-compat: ``DEFAULT_SPAWN_FAILURE_LIMIT``,
  ``_clear_spawn_failures``, ``_record_spawn_failure`` stay as aliases.

Tests
-----
* 6 new kernel tests: timeout increments counter, 3 consecutive
  timeouts trip the breaker (was the reported gap), crash increments
  counter, reclaim clears counter, completion clears counter, spawn
  success does NOT clear counter.
* Diagnostic tests: updated ``repeated_spawn_failures`` cases to use
  the new kind name and add a timeout-loop test.
* Dashboard API test: spawn_failures column update → consecutive_failures.

389/389 kanban-suite tests pass.

Live verification
-----------------
Seeded 4 tasks in an isolated HERMES_HOME: 3 timeouts, 4 crashes,
2-spawn-failed + 2-timed-out, and a task that had prior failures but
completed successfully. Board correctly shows "!! 3 tasks need
attention" (the successful one has no badge because the counter
reset). Drawer for the timeout-loop task renders "Agent timeout x3"
with most_recent_outcome=timed_out and the "Check logs" suggested
action (not the spawn-flavoured "Verify profile"). The successful
task has zero diagnostics.

Closes the Forbidden-Seeds-reported gap.

3beef57825 docs: refresh stale platform/LOC/test counts; clarify gateway vs plugin platforms
AGENTS.md is the AI-assistant entry doc, so its counts get used as ground
truth. Several values had drifted, and the same drift had spread to a few
user-facing surfaces. Fixing all of them in one commit so the count claims
agree and clearly distinguish gateway-core from plugin-shipped platforms.

AGENTS.md:
- run_agent.py "~12k LOC" → "~14k LOC as of 2026-05-03" (actual 14,097)
- cli.py     "~11k LOC" → "~12k LOC as of 2026-05-03" (actual 12,043)
- tools/environments/ list now lists all 7 user-selectable terminal backends
  in canonical order, matching tools/terminal_tool.py:2214-2215
- gateway/platforms/ list adds yuanbao and wecom_callback; the 19 names
  match the user-facing list at website/docs/integrations/index.md
- plugins/ tree now mentions plugins/platforms/ (irc, teams)
- tests/ snapshot "~15k tests across ~700 files as of Apr 2026" →
  "~19k tests across ~890 files as of 2026-05-03"

User-facing count claims:
- hermes_cli/tips.py:195 — "19 platforms" → "21 messaging platforms" with
  IRC and Microsoft Teams added to the named list
- website/docs/index.md:49 — "6 terminal backends" → "7 terminal backends:
  ..., Vercel Sandbox" (also corrected by PR #19044; same edit content)
- website/docs/index.md:50 — "15+ platforms from one gateway" → "21+ messaging
  platforms (19 in the gateway, plus IRC and Microsoft Teams via plugins)"
- website/docs/integrations/index.md:83-85 — "15+ messaging platforms" → "19+",
  added yuanbao to the linked list. The surrounding text scopes it to "configured
  through the same gateway subsystem", so plugin platforms (IRC, Teams) are
  intentionally not in this list
- website/scripts/generate-llms-txt.py:205 — "15+ platforms" → "21+ messaging
  platforms — 19 native to the gateway plus IRC and Microsoft Teams via plugins"

LOC and date stamps follow the existing AGENTS.md "as of <date>" convention
(line 56 already used this pattern). Source of truth for the gateway count is
gateway/config.py:130-148 (PlatformID enum); plugin platforms live in
plugins/platforms/.

Out of scope:
- RELEASE_v0.9.0.md historical "16 platforms" claim (immutable history)
- userStories.json verbatim user quotes
- Programmatic count generation from gateway/config.py + plugin manifests
  is a worthwhile build-system change but separate from these content fixes

fix(tui): close slash parity gaps with CLI (#20339)
* fix(tui): close slash parity gaps with CLI

Route unsupported /skills subcommands through slash.exec, support /new <name>
titles, and handle /redraw natively so TUI behavior matches classic CLI. Also
filter gateway-only commands out of the TUI catalog while keeping /status
discoverable.

* fix(tui): run remaining CLI parity paths natively

Forward chat launch flags into the TUI runtime and handle live-session status
and skill reloads in the gateway process so TUI state no longer depends on the
slash worker's stale CLI instance.

* fix(tui): block stale snapshot restores

Prevent snapshot restore from running through the isolated slash worker because
it mutates disk state without refreshing the live TUI agent.

* chore: uptick

* fix(tui): guard async session title updates

Handle failures from the fire-and-forget session.title RPC so title-setting errors do not surface as unhandled promise rejections while preserving session-scoped messaging.

9022804d78 feat(providers): make all 33 providers pluggable under plugins/model-providers/
Every provider profile is now a self-contained plugin under
plugins/model-providers/<name>/, mirroring the plugins/platforms/
pattern established for IRC and Teams. The ProviderProfile ABC
stays in providers/; the per-provider profile data moves out.

- plugins/model-providers/<name>/__init__.py calls register_provider()
- plugins/model-providers/<name>/plugin.yaml declares kind: model-provider
- providers/__init__.py._discover_providers() lazily scans bundled plugins
  then $HERMES_HOME/plugins/model-providers/<name>/ (user override path)
- User plugins with the same name override bundled ones (last-writer-wins
  in register_provider)
- Legacy providers/<name>.py layout still supported for back-compat with
  out-of-tree editable installs
- Hermes PluginManager: new kind=model-provider; skipped like memory
  plugins (providers/ discovery owns them); standalone plugins with
  register_provider+ProviderProfile in their __init__.py auto-coerce to
  this kind (same heuristic as memory providers)
- skip_names extended to include 'model-providers' so the general
  PluginManager doesn't double-scan the category
- 4 new tests in tests/providers/test_plugin_discovery.py covering
  bundled discovery, user override, and general-loader isolation
- Docs updated: website/docs/developer-guide/adding-providers.md,
  provider-runtime.md, providers/README.md, plugins/model-providers/README.md

No API break: auth.py / config.py / doctor.py / models.py / runtime_provider.py /
model_metadata.py / auxiliary_client.py / chat_completions.py / run_agent.py
all still consume providers via get_provider_profile() / list_providers() —
they just now see plugin-discovered entries instead of pkgutil-iterated ones.

Third parties can now drop a single directory into
~/.hermes/plugins/model-providers/<name>/ to add or override an inference
provider without touching the repo.

20a4f79ed1 feat: provider modules — ProviderProfile ABC, 33 providers, fetch_models, transport single-path
Introduces providers/ package — single source of truth for every
inference provider. Adding a simple api-key provider now requires one
providers/<name>.py file with zero edits anywhere else.

What this PR ships:
- providers/ package (ProviderProfile ABC + 33 profiles across 4 api_modes)
- ProviderProfile declarative fields: name, api_mode, aliases, display_name,
  env_vars, base_url, models_url, auth_type, fallback_models, hostname,
  default_headers, fixed_temperature, default_max_tokens, default_aux_model
- 4 overridable hooks: prepare_messages, build_extra_body,
  build_api_kwargs_extras, fetch_models
- chat_completions.build_kwargs: profile path via _build_kwargs_from_profile,
  legacy flag path retained for lmstudio/tencent-tokenhub (which have
  session-aware reasoning probing that doesn't map cleanly to hooks yet)
- run_agent.py: profile path for all registered providers; legacy path
  variable scoping fixed (all flags defined before branching)
- Auto-wires: auth.PROVIDER_REGISTRY, models.CANONICAL_PROVIDERS,
  doctor health checks, config.OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS, model_metadata._URL_TO_PROVIDER
- GeminiProfile: thinking_config translation (native + openai-compat nested)
- New tests/providers/ (79 tests covering profile declarations, transport
  parity, hook overrides, e2e kwargs assembly)

Deltas vs original PR (salvaged onto current main):
- Added profiles: alibaba-coding-plan, azure-foundry, minimax-oauth
  (were added to main since original PR)
- Skipped profiles: lmstudio, tencent-tokenhub stay on legacy path (their
  reasoning_effort probing has no clean hook equivalent yet)
- Removed lmstudio alias from custom profile (it's a separate provider now)
- Skipped openrouter/custom from PROVIDER_REGISTRY auto-extension
  (resolve_provider special-cases them; adding breaks runtime resolution)
- runtime_provider: profile.api_mode only as fallback when URL detection
  finds nothing (was breaking minimax /v1 override)
- Preserved main's legacy-path improvements: deepseek reasoning_content
  preserve, gemini Gemma skip, OpenRouter response caching, Anthropic 1M
  beta recovery, etc.
- Kept agent/copilot_acp_client.py in place (rejected PR's relocation —
  main has 7 fixes landed since; relocation would revert them)
- _API_KEY_PROVIDER_AUX_MODELS alias kept for backward compat with existing
  test imports

feat(kanban): generic diagnostics engine for task distress signals (#20332)
* feat(kanban): generic diagnostics engine for task distress signals

Replaces the hallucination-specific ``warnings`` / ``RecoverySection``
surface (shipped in PR #20232) with a reusable diagnostic-rule engine
that covers five distress kinds in v1 and can be extended without
touching UI code. The "something's wrong with this task" signal is
no longer limited to phantom card ids.

Closes the follow-up from #20232 discussion.

New module
----------
``hermes_cli/kanban_diagnostics.py`` — stateless, no-side-effect rule
engine. Each rule is a pure function of
``(task, events, runs, now, config) -> list[Diagnostic]``. Registry
is a simple list; adding a new distress kind is one function + one
import, no UI or API changes required.

v1 rule set
-----------
* ``hallucinated_cards`` (error) — folds the existing
  ``completion_blocked_hallucination`` event into the new surface.
* ``prose_phantom_refs`` (warning) — folds
  ``suspected_hallucinated_references``.
* ``repeated_spawn_failures`` (error → critical at 2x threshold) —
  fires when ``tasks.spawn_failures >= 3``; suggests
  ``hermes -p <profile> doctor`` / ``auth``.
* ``repeated_crashes`` (error → critical) — fires after N consecutive
  ``crashed`` run outcomes with no successful completion between;
  suggests ``hermes kanban log <id>``.
* ``stuck_in_blocked`` (warning) — fires after 24h in ``blocked``
  state with no comments / unblock attempts; suggests commenting.

Every diagnostic carries structured ``actions`` (reclaim, reassign,
unblock, cli_hint, comment, open_docs) that render consistently in
both CLI and dashboard. Suggested actions are highlighted; generic
recovery actions (reclaim / reassign) are available on every kind as
fallbacks.

Diagnostics auto-clear when the underlying failure resolves — a
clean ``completed``/``edited`` event drops hallucination diagnostics,
a successful run drops crash diagnostics, a comment drops
stuck-blocked diagnostics. Audit events persist; the badge goes away.

API
---
``plugin_api.py``:
* ``/board`` now attaches ``diagnostics`` (full list) and
  ``warnings`` (compact summary with ``highest_severity``) per task.
* ``/tasks/{id}`` attaches diagnostics so the drawer's Diagnostics
  section auto-opens on flagged tasks.
* NEW ``/diagnostics`` endpoint — fleet-wide listing, filterable by
  severity, sorted critical-first.

CLI
---
* NEW ``hermes kanban diagnostics [--severity X] [--task id]
  [--json]`` — fleet view or single-task view, matches dashboard rule
  output so CLI users see the same picture.
* ``hermes kanban show <id>`` now renders a Diagnostics section near
  the top with severity markers + suggested actions.

Dashboard
---------
* Card badge is severity-coloured (⚠ amber warning, !! orange error,
  !!! red critical) using ``warnings.highest_severity``.
* Attention strip above the toolbar counts EVERY task with active
  diagnostics (not just hallucinations), severity-coloured, lists
  affected tasks with Open buttons when expanded.
* Drawer's old ``RecoverySection`` replaced with generic
  ``DiagnosticsSection`` rendering a card per active diagnostic:
  title + detail + structured data (task-id chips when payload keys
  look like id lists) + action buttons. Reassign profile picker is
  inline per-diagnostic. Clipboard fallback uses ``.catch()`` for
  environments where writeText rejects.
* Three-rung severity palette; amber for warning, orange for error,
  red for critical. Uses CSS variables so theming is straightforward.

Tests
-----
* NEW ``tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_diagnostics.py`` — 14 unit tests
  covering each rule's positive/negative/threshold paths, severity
  sorting, broken-rule isolation, and sqlite3.Row integration.
* Dashboard plugin tests extended: ``/diagnostics`` endpoint (empty,
  populated, severity-filtered), ``/board`` exposes both diagnostic
  list and compact summary with ``highest_severity``.
* Existing hallucination-specific test (``test_board_surfaces_
  warnings_field_for_hallucinated_completions``) updated to reflect
  the new contract: warning summary keys by diagnostic kind
  (``hallucinated_cards``) not event kind.

379 kanban-suite tests pass (+16 net from this PR).

Live verification
-----------------
Seeded all 5 diagnostic kinds + one clean + one plain-running task
(7 total) into an isolated HERMES_HOME, spun up the dashboard, and
verified:

* Attention strip: shows ``!! 5 tasks need attention`` in the
  error-severity orange; Show expands to a list of 5 rows ordered
  critical > error > warning.
* Card badges: error tasks render ``!!`` orange, warning tasks
  render ``⚠`` amber, clean and plain-running tasks render no badge.
* Each of the 5 rules opens a correctly-coloured, correctly-styled
  diagnostic card in the drawer with its specific suggested action.
* Live reassign from a diagnostic card flipped
  ``broken-ml-worker → alice`` and the drawer refreshed with the
  new assignee + the same diagnostic still firing (correct:
  spawn_failures counter hasn't reset yet).
* CLI ``hermes kanban diagnostics`` prints all 5 in severity order;
  ``--severity error`` narrows to 3; ``kanban show <id>`` includes
  the Diagnostics block at the top with suggested action hint.

Migration note
--------------
The old ``warnings`` shape (``{count, kinds, latest_at}``) is
preserved on the API but ``kinds`` now keys by diagnostic kind
(``hallucinated_cards``) instead of event kind
(``completion_blocked_hallucination``). ``highest_severity`` is a
new required field. The dashboard was the only consumer and has
been updated in the same commit; external API consumers of the
``warnings`` field will need to update their kind-match logic.

* feat(kanban/diagnostics): lead titles with the actual error text

The generic 'Worker crashed N runs in a row' / 'Worker failed to spawn
N times' titles buried the actual cause in the data section. Operators
had to open logs or expand the diagnostic to see WHY the worker is
stuck — rate-limit vs insufficient quota vs bad auth vs context
overflow vs network blip all looked identical at a glance.

New titles:

  Agent crashed 3x: openai: 429 Too Many Requests - rate limit reached
  Agent crashed 3x: anthropic: 402 insufficient_quota - credit balance
  Agent crashed 3x: provider auth error: 401 Unauthorized
  Agent spawn failed 4x: insufficient_quota: You exceeded your current

Detail keeps the full error snippet (capped at 500 chars + ellipsis
for tracebacks). Title takes the first line capped at 160 chars.
Fallback title if no error recorded stays honest ('no error recorded').

Tests: 4 new cases covering 429/billing/spawn/truncation. 383 total
pass (+4).

Live-verified on dashboard with 6 seeded scenarios
(rate-limit, billing, auth, context, network, spawn-billing) —
each card title leads with the actionable error text.

60235dba5e feat(cli): add list_picker_providers for credential-filtered picker
The Telegram/Discord /model pickers currently call
list_authenticated_providers(), which returns every provider whose
credentials resolve locally and every model in its curated snapshot.
Two failure modes fall out:

- OpenRouter rows can include IDs the live catalog no longer carries.
- Provider rows can surface with zero callable models (e.g. a slug
  whose credential pool entry exists but has nothing behind it).

list_picker_providers() wraps the base function and post-processes the
result so the interactive picker only shows models the user can
actually select:

- OpenRouter's models come from fetch_openrouter_models() (live-catalog
  filtered against the curated OPENROUTER_MODELS snapshot).
- Rows with an empty models list are dropped, except custom endpoints
  (is_user_defined=True with an api_url) where the user may enter
  model ids manually.
- All other fields pass through unchanged.

The gateway /model handler switches to the new helper for the
interactive picker payload only. Typed /model <name> and the text
fallback list stay on list_authenticated_providers() so nothing is
hidden from power users or platforms without a picker.

Covered by nine focused unit tests in
tests/hermes_cli/test_list_picker_providers.py.

feat(kanban): hallucination gate + recovery UX for worker-created-card claims (#20232)
Workers completing a kanban task can now claim the ids of cards they
created via an optional ``created_cards`` field on ``kanban_complete``.
The kernel verifies each id exists and was created by the completing
worker's profile; any phantom id blocks the completion with a
``HallucinatedCardsError`` and records a
``completion_blocked_hallucination`` event on the task so the rejected
attempt is auditable. Successful completions also get a non-blocking
prose-scan pass over their ``summary`` + ``result`` that emits a
``suspected_hallucinated_references`` event for any ``t_<hex>``
reference that doesn't resolve.

Closes #20017.

Recovery UX (kernel + CLI + dashboard)
--------------------------------------

A structural gate alone isn't enough — operators also need to see and
act on stuck workers, especially when a profile's model is the root
cause. This PR ships the full loop:

* ``kanban_db.reclaim_task(task_id)`` — operator-driven reclaim that
  releases an active worker claim immediately (unlike
  ``release_stale_claims`` which only acts after claim_expires has
  passed). Emits a ``reclaimed`` event with ``manual: True`` payload.
* ``kanban_db.reassign_task(task_id, profile, reclaim_first=...)`` —
  switch a task to a different profile, optionally reclaiming a stuck
  running worker in the same call.
* ``hermes kanban reclaim <id> [--reason ...]`` and
  ``hermes kanban reassign <id> <profile> [--reclaim] [--reason ...]``
  CLI subcommands wired through to the same helpers.
* ``POST /api/plugins/kanban/tasks/{id}/reclaim`` and
  ``POST /api/plugins/kanban/tasks/{id}/reassign`` endpoints on the
  dashboard plugin.

Dashboard surfacing
-------------------

* ⚠ **warning badge** on cards with active hallucination events.
* **attention strip** at the top of the board listing all flagged
  tasks; dismissible per session.
* **events callout** in the task drawer — hallucination events render
  with a red left border, amber icon, and phantom ids as styled chips.
* **recovery section** in the task drawer with three actions: Reclaim,
  Reassign (with profile picker + reclaim-first checkbox), and a
  copy-to-clipboard hint for ``hermes -p <profile> model`` since
  profile config lives on disk and can't be edited from the browser.
  Auto-opens when the task has warnings, collapsed otherwise.
  Keyed by task id so state doesn't leak between drawers.

Active-vs-stale rule: warnings clear when a clean ``completed`` or
``edited`` event supersedes the hallucination, so recovery is never
permanently stigmatising — the audit events persist for debugging but
the badge goes away once the worker succeeds.

Skill updates
-------------

* ``skills/devops/kanban-worker/SKILL.md`` documents the
  ``created_cards`` contract with good/bad examples.
* ``skills/devops/kanban-orchestrator/SKILL.md`` gains a "Recovering
  stuck workers" section with the three actions and when to use each.

Tests
-----

* Kernel gate: verified-cards manifest, phantom rejection + audit
  event, cross-worker rejection, prose scan positive + negative.
* Recovery helpers: reclaim on running task, reclaim on non-running
  returns False, reassign refuses running without reclaim_first,
  reassign with reclaim_first succeeds on running.
* API endpoints: warnings field present on /board and /tasks/:id,
  warnings cleared after clean completion, reclaim 200 + 409 paths,
  reassign 200 + 409 + reclaim_first paths.
* CLI smoke: reclaim + reassign subcommands.

Live-verified end-to-end on a dashboard with seeded scenarios:
attention strip renders, badges land on the right cards, drawer
callout shows phantom chips, Reclaim on a running task flips status to
ready + emits manual reclaimed event + refreshes the drawer,
Reassign swaps the assignee and triggers board refresh.

359/359 kanban-suite tests pass
(test_kanban_{db,cli,boards,core_functionality} + dashboard + tools).

feat(i18n): add display.language for static message translation (zh/ja/de/es) (#20231)
* revert(gateway): remove stale-code self-check and auto-restart

Removes the _detect_stale_code / _trigger_stale_code_restart mechanism
introduced in #17648 and iterated in #19740. On every incoming message
the gateway compared the boot-time git HEAD SHA to the current SHA on
disk, and if they differed it would reply with

    Gateway code was updated in the background --
    restarting this gateway so your next message runs
    on the new code. Please retry in a moment.

and then kick off a graceful restart. This is unwanted behaviour:
users who run a long-lived gateway and do their own ad-hoc git
operations on the checkout end up with their chat interrupted and
the current message dropped every time HEAD moves, with no way to
opt out.

If an operator really needs the old protection against stale
sys.modules after "hermes update", the SIGKILL-survivor sweep in
hermes update (hermes_cli/main.py, also tagged #17648) already
handles the supervisor-respawn case on its own.

Removed:
  gateway/run.py:
    - _STALE_CODE_SENTINELS, _GIT_SHA_CACHE_TTL_SECS
    - _read_git_head_sha(), _compute_repo_mtime() module helpers
    - class-level _boot_wall_time / _boot_repo_mtime / _boot_git_sha /
      _stale_code_restart_triggered defaults
    - __init__ boot-snapshot block (_boot_*, _cached_current_sha*,
      _repo_root_for_staleness, _stale_code_notified)
    - _current_git_sha_cached(), _detect_stale_code(),
      _trigger_stale_code_restart() methods
    - stale-code check + user-facing restart notice at the top of
      _handle_message()
  tests/gateway/test_stale_code_self_check.py (deleted, 412 lines)

No new logic added. Zero remaining references to any removed
symbol. Gateway test suite passes the same 4589 tests it passed
before; the 3 pre-existing unrelated failures (discord free-channel,
feishu bot admission, teams typing) are unchanged by this commit.

* feat(i18n): add display.language for static message translation (zh/ja/de/es)

Adds a thin-slice i18n layer covering the highest-impact static user-facing
messages: the CLI dangerous-command approval prompt and a handful of gateway
slash-command replies (restart-drain, goal cleared, approval expired, config
read/save errors).

Out of scope (stays English): agent responses, log lines, tool outputs,
slash-command descriptions, error tracebacks.

Infrastructure:
- agent/i18n.py: catalog loader, t() helper, language resolution
  (HERMES_LANGUAGE env var > display.language config > en)
- locales/{en,zh,ja,de,es}.yaml: ~19 translated strings per language
- display.language in DEFAULT_CONFIG (hermes_cli/config.py)

Tests:
- tests/agent/test_i18n.py: 21 tests covering catalog parity, placeholder
  parity across locales, fallback behavior, env-var override, alias
  normalization, missing-key graceful degradation.

Docs:
- website/docs/user-guide/configuration.md: display.language entry plus a
  short section explaining scope so users don't expect agent responses to
  translate via this knob.

34c6f93496 fix: resolve model.aliases from config.yaml in /model alias resolution
hermes config set model.aliases.xxx commands write to the model.aliases
nested key, but _load_direct_aliases() only read from the top-level
model_aliases key. This meant aliases set via hermes config set were
invisible to the /model command, and unrecognised inputs fell through
to the DeepSeek normaliser which mapped everything to deepseek-chat.

Add a second pass in _load_direct_aliases() that reads model.aliases
and converts string-value entries (provider/model format) into
DirectAlias objects. The provider is parsed from the slash prefix;
if no slash, the current default provider from config is used.

Also prevent simple aliases from overriding explicit model_aliases
dict entries when both exist.

feat(curator): add archive and prune subcommands (#20200)
* fix(curator): protect hub skills by frontmatter name

* test(skill_usage): add mark_agent_created to regression test

The cherry-picked test predates #19618/#19621 which rewrote
list_agent_created_skill_names() to require an explicit
created_by: 'agent' provenance marker. Without mark_agent_created(),
my-skill is excluded from the list and the positive assertion fails.

* feat(curator): add archive and prune subcommands

Adds 'hermes curator archive <skill>' and 'hermes curator prune
[--days N] [--yes] [--dry-run]' alongside the existing status, run,
pause, resume, pin, unpin, restore, backup, rollback verbs.

These are the two genuinely new user-facing verbs requested in #19384.
The other verbs proposed there ('stats' and 'restore') already exist
as 'curator status' and 'curator restore', so no duplicate surface is
added — all skill lifecycle commands live under the single 'hermes
curator' namespace.

- archive: manual archive of an agent-created skill. Refuses pinned
  skills with a hint pointing at 'hermes curator unpin'.
- prune: bulk-archive unpinned skills idle for >= N days (default 90).
  Falls back to created_at when last_activity_at is null so never-used
  skills can still be pruned. --dry-run previews, --yes skips prompt.

Adapted from @elmatadorgh's PR #19454 which placed the same verbs
under 'hermes skills' with a separate hermes_cli/skills_config.py
handler and rich table for stats. The 'stats' and 'restore' parts of
that PR duplicated existing surface, so only archive and prune are
kept, rewritten to match hermes_cli/curator.py's existing plain-text
handler style. Tests rewritten from scratch against the new handlers.

Closes #19384

b22b3f506a fix(cli): pin HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD at chat boot to stop subprocess board drift
Without an explicit pin, in-process kanban tools and shelled-out
`hermes kanban …` subprocesses resolve the active board on different
paths: the env var when set, otherwise the global `<root>/kanban/current`
file. When a concurrent session toggles the current-board pointer
mid-turn, the same chat ends up routing tool calls to board A while its
shell calls hit board B, surfacing as phantom "no such task" errors.

Pin the resolved board into env once at `cmd_chat` boot when
HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD isn't already set. Mirrors what the dispatcher does
for spawned workers (kanban_db.py:2622-2623). Idempotent and a no-op
when the env is already pinned by the caller.

f25d3ec917 fix(kanban): suppress dispatcher stuck-warn when ready queue holds only non-spawnable assignees
After PR #20105 (dispatcher skips ready tasks whose assignee fails
``profile_exists()`` to prevent the orion-cc/orion-research crash
loop), the gateway and CLI emit a spurious "kanban dispatcher stuck:
ready queue non-empty for N consecutive ticks but 0 workers spawned"
warning every 5 minutes on multi-lane setups where the queue is
steadily full of human-pulled work assigned to terminal lanes.

The warn is intended to catch real failure modes (broken PATH,
missing venv, credential loss for a real Hermes profile). On a
multi-lane host it fires forever even though everything is healthy:
the dispatcher correctly chose not to spawn, and there is nothing
for the operator to fix.

Changes:

* ``DispatchResult`` gains a ``skipped_nonspawnable`` field
  (separate from ``skipped_unassigned``) so callers can distinguish
  "task missing an owner — operator should route it" from "task
  owned by a control-plane lane — terminal will pull it".
* ``dispatch_once`` routes the ``not profile_exists(assignee)`` skip
  into the new bucket (was lumped into ``skipped_unassigned``).
* New helper ``has_spawnable_ready(conn)`` returns True iff at least
  one ready+assigned+unclaimed task in the DB has an assignee that
  maps to a real Hermes profile. Falls back to legacy "any
  ready+assigned" when ``profile_exists`` is unimportable so degraded
  installs still surface the original warn.
* The gateway dispatcher (``gateway/run.py``) and the CLI standalone
  daemon (``hermes_cli/kanban.py``) both swap their cheap
  ``ready_nonempty`` probe to use ``has_spawnable_ready``. Stuck-warn
  now fires only when there is genuine spawnable work the dispatcher
  failed to start.
* CLI dispatch output prints ``Skipped (non-spawnable assignee —
  terminal lane, OK)`` for visibility without alarm.

Tests:

* New ``has_spawnable_ready`` cases (empty queue, terminal-lane
  only, mixed real+terminal).
* New ``test_dispatch_skips_nonspawnable_into_separate_bucket``
  verifies the bucketing change.
* Updated ``test_dispatch_skips_unassigned`` to assert no
  cross-leak.
* Added ``all_assignees_spawnable`` fixture in
  ``tests/hermes_cli/conftest.py`` and threaded it through dispatcher
  tests that use synthetic assignees ("alice", "bob"). PR #20105
  (the parent commit) silently broke 8 such tests by routing those
  assignees into ``skipped_nonspawnable`` instead of spawning; this
  PR repairs them as part of the same code area.

Verified locally: 246/246 kanban-suite tests pass.

Stacks on top of fix/kanban-dispatcher-skip-missing-profile-2026-05-05
(PR #20105). Reviewer: this PR is meant to merge AFTER #20105.

ca5595fe7b fix(kanban): dispatcher skips ready tasks whose assignee is not a real profile
The kanban dispatcher's `_default_spawn` invokes
``hermes -p <task.assignee> chat -q ...``. When ``assignee``
names a control-plane lane (e.g. an interactive Claude Code
terminal like ``orion-cc`` / ``orion-research``) instead of a
real Hermes profile, the subprocess fails on startup with
"Profile 'X' does not exist", gets reaped as a zombie, the
TTL/crash detector marks the task back to ``ready``, and the
next tick re-spawns the same crashing worker. Result: a
permanent crash loop emitting ``spawned=2 crashed=2 every tick``
in the gateway log and burning CPU forever.

Reproduce on a fresh Hermes-agent install:

  # 1. Create a kanban task whose assignee names a non-profile.
  hermes kanban create --assignee orion-cc --status ready \
      --title "Review PR #N" --body "..."
  # 2. Start the gateway with the embedded dispatcher.
  hermes gateway run
  # gateway.log lines every minute:
  #   kanban dispatcher: tick spawned=1 reclaimed=0 crashed=1 ...
  # 3. ps -ef | grep '[h]ermes.*defunct' shows zombies.

Fix
---
``dispatch_once()`` now pre-checks ``hermes_cli.profiles.
profile_exists(assignee)`` before claiming. If False, the row
is added to ``skipped_unassigned`` (it's effectively
"unassigned-to-an-executable-profile") and the dispatcher
moves on without claiming, spawning, or counting a crash.

The check is opt-in safe: if the import fails (e.g. test
isolation, profile module restructured), ``profile_exists``
falls back to ``None`` and the original behaviour is preserved
unchanged.

This addresses the explicit hint in the kanban task body
(``t_2bab06e3``):

  "Should ready-state tasks auto-spawn at all, or only on
  explicit orion-cc claim? If spurious, gate the auto-spawn
  behind a config flag (e.g. only assignee=hermes or
  assignee=auto)."

Profile-existence is a tighter gate than a config flag — it
self-documents (the user already knows whether they have an
``orion-cc`` profile), and it doesn't require Mac to maintain
an allowlist as new lane names appear. New lanes that ARE
real profiles (created via ``hermes profile create``) auto-
qualify the moment the profile dir is created.

Validated live
--------------
On Orion's hermes-agent install, two ``orion-research``-
assigned tasks (Bug A and Bug C investigations) had been
crash-looping since 2026-05-05 06:58 local. After applying
the patch + restarting the gateway:

- Stale ``running`` claims released to ``ready`` cleanly.
- New gateway emitted ``kanban dispatcher: embedded`` and
  has ticked silently for 2+ minutes — no spawned=,
  crashed=, or stuck= log lines (all spawn skips are quiet).
- Tasks remain ``ready`` with ``claim_lock=None``,
  ``worker_pid=None``, ``spawn_failures=0``.
- Dashboard + telegram + freqtrade unaffected.

Confidence: high (live verified on Orion).
Scope-risk: narrow (additive guard inside one function).
Not-tested: behaviour when a profile is renamed mid-tick —
current code re-imports ``profile_exists`` per row so a
freshly created profile auto-qualifies on the next tick.
Machine: orion-terminal

91ce8fc000 fix(setup): offer Keep/Replace/Clear when API key already exists
hermes setup / hermes model used to silently skip the key prompt when
any value was present in .env — even a malformed paste — leaving users
with a stuck '✓' and no way to recover without hand-editing .env.

Replace the silent acknowledgement at all three API-key provider flows
(Kimi, Stepfun, generic) with a single [K]eep / [R]eplace / [C]lear
menu via a shared `_prompt_api_key` helper.

- K / Enter / Ctrl-C / unknown input → keep (never destroys the key)
- R → getpass for new key; empty input cancels and preserves existing
- C → clears the env var, tells user to rerun hermes setup, aborts flow

LM Studio's no-auth-placeholder substitution stays on first-time entry
only; on Replace an empty input means 'cancel', not 'overwrite with
dummy key'.

11 unit tests cover all branches incl. garbage-input-keeps-key, Ctrl-C
at the choice prompt, Replace-cancel preserving the old key, Clear
wiping only the target env var, and lmstudio placeholder semantics.

Fixes #16394
Reshapes #18355 — original PR pasted the menu inline at 3 sites with
no tests; this consolidates to one helper (+88/-66) with coverage.

fix(tui): respect voice.record_key config (supersedes #19028, #19339) (#19835)
* fix(tui): respect voice.record_key config instead of hardcoded Ctrl+B

Classic CLI loaded ``voice.record_key`` from config.yaml and bound the
prompt-toolkit handler dynamically (``cli.py`` paths). The new TUI hard-
coded ``Ctrl+B`` everywhere — ``isVoiceToggleKey`` (input handler),
``/voice status`` ("Record key: Ctrl+B"), and ``/voice on`` ("Ctrl+B to
start/stop recording"). A user who set ``voice.record_key: ctrl+o``
(or any other key) saw the documented config silently ignored — only
Ctrl+B worked, the displayed shortcut lied about it.

Wire the configured key end to end through the existing channels:

* **Backend** (``tui_gateway/server.py``): ``voice.toggle`` action=status
  AND action=on/off responses now include ``record_key``, sourced from
  ``config.get('voice', {}).get('record_key', 'ctrl+b')``.
* **Backend types** (``ui-tui/src/gatewayTypes.ts``): ``ConfigFullResponse``
  now exposes ``config.voice.record_key`` and ``VoiceToggleResponse``
  carries ``record_key`` so the TUI can both bind and display it.
* **Frontend parser/formatter** (``ui-tui/src/lib/platform.ts``):
  ``parseVoiceRecordKey()`` accepts ``ctrl+b`` / ``alt+r`` / ``cmd+space``
  and the common aliases (``option``, ``cmd``, ``win``, …); falls back to
  the documented Ctrl+B for empty / multi-character / malformed input so
  a typo never silently disables the shortcut. ``formatVoiceRecordKey()``
  renders for status text. ``isVoiceToggleKey`` now takes a parsed
  ``ParsedVoiceRecordKey`` argument; the hardcoded ``ch === 'b'`` is
  gone. Default arg keeps existing call sites back-compat.
* **Hydration** (``ui-tui/src/app/useConfigSync.ts``,
  ``useMainApp.ts``): startup ``config.get full`` already runs; extract
  ``cfg.voice.record_key`` from it, parse, push into a new
  ``voiceRecordKey`` state, and forward to the input handler ctx
  (``InputHandlerContext.voice.recordKey``). Mtime-poll path also
  re-applies the parsed key so a hand-edit of config.yaml takes effect
  the next tick — matches existing behaviour for display options.
* **Input handler** (``ui-tui/src/app/useInputHandlers.ts``):
  ``isVoiceToggleKey(key, ch, voice.recordKey)`` so the configured
  binding fires.
* **Slash command** (``ui-tui/src/app/slash/commands/session.ts``):
  ``/voice status`` and ``/voice on`` use ``formatVoiceRecordKey`` on
  the response's ``record_key`` instead of the hardcoded label.

Tests:
* ``parseVoiceRecordKey`` covers ctrl/alt/cmd/super aliases, multi-char
  rejection, and empty fallback.
* ``formatVoiceRecordKey`` covers the doc examples (``Ctrl+B``,
  ``Ctrl+O``, ``Alt+R``, ``Cmd+B``).
* ``isVoiceToggleKey`` regression: ``ctrl+o`` configured → only ``o``
  matches, not ``b``; ``alt+r`` matches both alt-bit and meta-bit
  encodings (terminal protocol parity); omitted-arg call still binds
  Ctrl+B for back-compat.

Full TUI suite (555 tests) passes; ``tsc --noEmit`` clean.

Fixes #18994

Co-authored-by: asheriif <ahmedsherif95@gmail.com>

* fix(tui): support named-key tokens in voice.record_key (space, enter, …)

Reviewer caught that the round-1 parser in #18994 rejected every
multi-character token, so a config value like ``ctrl+space`` (which the
CLI happily binds via prompt_toolkit's ``c-space`` rewrite in
``cli.py``) silently fell back to the documented Ctrl+B default —
re-introducing the same false-shortcut bug the PR was meant to fix,
just at a different surface.

Add explicit named-key support that mirrors what the CLI accepts:

* ``space``         (alias: ``spc``)        → matches ``ch === ' '``
* ``enter``         (alias: ``return``, ``ret``) → matches ``key.return``
* ``tab``                                   → matches ``key.tab``
* ``escape``        (alias: ``esc``)        → matches ``key.escape``
* ``backspace``     (alias: ``bs``)         → matches ``key.backspace``
* ``delete``        (alias: ``del``)        → matches ``key.delete``

``ParsedVoiceRecordKey`` gains an optional ``named`` field; ``ch``
holds either a single char (back-compat) or the canonical named token,
and the runtime matcher dispatches on ``named`` before checking the
modifier shape. Aliases collapse to one canonical name so
``ctrl+esc`` and ``ctrl+escape`` behave identically.

Unrecognised multi-character tokens (e.g. ``ctrl+spcae`` typo, or
unsupported keys like ``ctrl+f5``) still fall back to the Ctrl+B
default rather than silently disabling the binding — keeps the "typo
never silently kills the shortcut" guarantee.

Tests:

* ``parseVoiceRecordKey`` parametrised over every named token + each
  alias variant.
* New ``isVoiceToggleKey`` cases for space (ch-based match), enter
  (``key.return``), tab, escape, backspace, delete, including
  modifier-mismatch negatives.
* ``formatVoiceRecordKey`` renders named keys in title case
  (``Ctrl+Space``, ``Ctrl+Enter``).
* Existing fall-back-to-Ctrl+B contract preserved for empty input
  AND unrecognised multi-char tokens.

Full TUI suite: 559/559 pass; ``tsc --noEmit`` clean.

* test(tui): assert voice.toggle returns configured record_key

Salvage the backend regression from #19339 — asserts ``voice.toggle``
action=on AND action=status responses carry the configured
``voice.record_key`` end-to-end through ``_load_cfg()``. Keeps the
CLI→TUI parity contract visible in the Python test suite alongside
the existing frontend parser/matcher/formatter coverage from #19028.

* fix(tui): address Copilot review on #19835 voice.record_key wiring

Five tightenings on the parser + matcher + hydration surface, all
caught by the Copilot review on the PR — each one turns a silent
false-fire or display/binding skew into a deterministic behaviour.

* **isVoiceToggleKey ctrl branch was too permissive for named keys.**
  The doc-default macOS Cmd+B muscle-memory fallback
  (``isActionMod(key)`` on top of ``key.ctrl``) fired for every
  configured key, so bare Esc — which hermes-ink reports with
  ``key.meta`` on some macOS terminals — triggered ``ctrl+escape``,
  and Alt+Space / Alt+Tab triggered ``ctrl+space`` / ``ctrl+tab``.
  Gate the fallback to the literal ``ctrl+b`` binding so any custom
  chord requires the real Ctrl bit.
* **Alt branch guarded against Ctrl/Cmd co-press.** Without this,
  Ctrl+Alt+<letter> and Cmd+Alt+<letter> also fired ``alt+<letter>``.
* **Dropped the ``meta`` modifier variant and its alias.** In
  hermes-ink ``key.meta`` is Alt on xterm-style terminals and Cmd on
  legacy macOS ones, so a literal ``meta+b`` config displayed as
  ``Cmd+B`` while matching Alt+B — exactly the kind of false
  shortcut the PR was meant to remove. ``cmd`` / ``command`` now
  collapse onto ``super`` (kitty-style ``key.super``, with a macOS
  ``key.meta`` fallback) and render as ``Cmd+B``. Unknown modifier
  tokens fall back to the documented Ctrl+B default rather than
  silently coercing to Ctrl.
* **Slash-command display/binding skew.** ``/voice status`` and
  ``/voice on`` rendered from the fresh gateway ``record_key``
  response, but ``useInputHandlers()`` still bound the old key
  until the next 5s mtime poll. Thread ``setVoiceRecordKey``
  through ``SlashHandlerContext.voice`` and push the parsed spec
  into frontend state on every response so text and binding stay
  consistent.
* **Test coverage for the two paths Copilot flagged.** Added
  vitest coverage for (a) the three-case ``/voice`` slash output
  in ``createSlashHandler.test.ts`` and (b) the
  ``applyDisplay → voice.record_key`` hydration + omit-setter
  back-compat paths in ``useConfigSync.test.ts``. Plus regression
  cases for every false-fire scenario above.

Suite: 575/575 green, tsc --noEmit clean.

* fix(tui): address Copilot round-2 review on #19835

Three tightenings on the surface introduced in the round-1 fix:

* **``/voice tts`` reset custom bindings to Ctrl+B.** The ``tts`` branch
  of ``voice.toggle`` omitted ``record_key`` from its response, so the
  frontend's ``r.record_key ?? 'ctrl+b'`` coerced a user's custom
  binding back to the default on every TTS toggle. Two-sided fix:
  the backend now includes ``record_key`` on the ``tts`` branch (parity
  with ``status``/``on``/``off``), and the slash handler only pushes
  frontend state when the response actually carries ``record_key`` —
  belt-and-suspenders against any future branch forgetting to include
  it.

* **``super+b`` / ``win+b`` / ``cmd+b`` displayed "Cmd+B" on Linux and
  Windows.** ``formatVoiceRecordKey`` rendered ``mod === 'super'`` as
  ``Cmd`` universally, which told non-mac users the wrong modifier to
  press even though ``isVoiceToggleKey`` matched the right event bits.
  Gate the label to ``isMac`` so non-mac renders ``Super+B``.

* **``control+b`` / ``ctrl + b`` lost the macOS Cmd+B fallback.**
  ``_isDefaultVoiceKey`` keyed off ``parsed.raw`` — so
  semantically-equal aliases of the documented default dropped into
  the strict branch even though they bind Ctrl+B. Compare on the
  parsed spec (mod + ch + named) instead.

Coverage added: Linux ``Super+B`` rendering (and macOS ``Cmd+B``),
``control+b`` / ``ctrl + b`` accepting the Cmd+B fallback on darwin,
``/voice tts`` without ``record_key`` not clobbering cached binding,
and a backend regression asserting every ``voice.toggle`` branch
carries the configured key.

Suite: 579/579 TUI vitest green, 2/2 backend voice tests green,
tsc --noEmit clean.

* fix(tui): address Copilot round-3 review on #19835

Three classes of robustness issue caught on the second pass — all
revolve around malformed YAML tipping ``parseVoiceRecordKey`` or
``_voice_record_key`` into a crash instead of the documented
fallback.

* **Parser crashed on non-string YAML scalars.** ``config.get full``
  returns raw ``yaml.safe_load`` output, so ``voice.record_key: 1``
  or ``voice.record_key: true`` in a hand-edited config would hit
  ``.trim()`` on a number/bool and throw, breaking startup and
  every mtime re-apply. Accept ``unknown`` at the signature, guard
  with ``typeof raw !== 'string'``, and fall back to the default.

* **Backend blew up on non-dict ``voice:``.** Same YAML hazard on
  the gateway side: ``voice: true`` / ``voice: cmd+b`` left
  ``_load_cfg().get("voice")`` as a bool/str, so ``.get("record_key")``
  raised AttributeError and took every ``voice.toggle`` branch down
  with it. Centralised the lookup in a single
  ``_voice_record_key()`` helper that ``isinstance``-guards both
  ``voice`` and ``record_key`` and falls back to ``ctrl+b``.

* **Multi-modifier chords silently dropped extras.** The previous
  validator only checked the first modifier token, so ``ctrl+alt+r``
  silently parsed as ``ctrl+r`` and ``cmd+ctrl+b`` as ``super+b`` —
  a typo bound a different shortcut than the user configured.
  Reject multi-modifier spellings outright; the classic CLI only
  supports single-modifier bindings via prompt_toolkit's ``c-x`` /
  ``a-x`` rewrite, so this matches CLI parity.

Coverage added:

* ``parseVoiceRecordKey`` fallback on ``1`` / ``true`` / ``null`` /
  ``undefined`` / ``{}``.
* ``parseVoiceRecordKey`` fallback on ``ctrl+alt+r`` /
  ``cmd+ctrl+b`` / ``alt+ctrl+space``.
* ``test_voice_toggle_handles_non_dict_voice_cfg`` exercises
  every non-dict ``voice:`` shape (bool, str, None, int, list) and
  asserts each falls back to ``record_key: 'ctrl+b'``.

Suite: 581/581 TUI vitest green, 3/3 backend voice tests green,
tsc --noEmit clean.

* fix(tui): address Copilot round-4 review on #19835

Four final corners of the voice.record_key surface:

* **Bare-char configs silently coerced to ``ctrl+<key>``.** A config
  like ``voice.record_key: o`` / ``space`` / ``escape`` fell through
  to the default ``mod = 'ctrl'`` and silently bound Ctrl+O, while
  the classic CLI's prompt_toolkit would bind the raw key (no
  rewrite) — so the two runtimes silently disagreed on what "o"
  means. Require an explicit modifier; bare-char configs fall back
  to the documented Ctrl+B default.

* **Reserved ctrl+<letter> bindings would never fire.**
  ``useInputHandlers()`` intercepts ``ctrl+c`` (interrupt),
  ``ctrl+d`` (quit), and ``ctrl+l`` (clear screen) before the voice
  check runs, so those configs would be advertised in /voice
  status but the advertised shortcut never actually triggers
  push-to-talk. Added ``_RESERVED_CTRL_CHARS`` at parse time so
  the user gets the documented default instead of a dead shortcut.
  (``alt+c``, ``cmd+l``, etc. are not intercepted and stay usable.)

* **``_load_cfg()`` root itself may be a non-dict.**
  ``_voice_record_key()`` isinstance-guarded the ``voice`` subkey
  but not the root — a malformed config.yaml that collapsed to a
  scalar/list at the top level (``config.yaml: true`` or ``[]``)
  would still raise on ``.get("voice")``. Added the top-level
  guard too so every malformed shape falls back to ``ctrl+b``.

* **Stale header comment on ``isVoiceToggleKey``.** The doc-comment
  still claimed "On macOS we additionally accept the platform
  action modifier (Cmd) for the configured letter" even though the
  implementation gates the Cmd fallback to the documented default
  only. Rewrote to match.

Coverage added:

* ``parseVoiceRecordKey`` fallback on bare chars (``o``, ``b``,
  ``space``, ``escape``).
* ``parseVoiceRecordKey`` fallback on ``ctrl+c`` / ``ctrl+d`` /
  ``ctrl+l``; positive case for ``alt+c`` / ``cmd+l`` still usable.
* Backend ``test_voice_toggle_handles_non_dict_voice_cfg`` now
  exercises 5 non-dict shapes at the YAML root too.

Suite: 583/583 TUI vitest green, 3/3 backend voice tests green,
tsc --noEmit clean.

* fix(tui): address Copilot round-5 review on #19835

Three follow-ups on the voice matcher's modifier + shift discipline:

* **``super`` branch falsely fired on Alt+<key> / bare Esc on macOS.**
  ``isVoiceToggleKey`` accepted ``isMac && key.meta`` as a Cmd
  fallback for the ``super`` modifier — but hermes-ink sets
  ``key.meta`` for plain Alt/Option AND for bare Escape on some
  macOS terminals. A ``cmd+b`` config silently fired on Alt+B;
  ``cmd+space`` on Alt+Space; ``cmd+escape`` on bare Esc. Drop the
  fallback and require the literal ``key.super`` bit. Legacy-
  terminal users who need Cmd should upgrade to a kitty-protocol
  terminal or bind ``alt+X`` explicitly.

* **Shift bit was never checked.** The parser rejects multi-
  modifier configs like ``ctrl+shift+tab``, but the runtime
  matcher didn't check ``key.shift`` — so ``ctrl+tab`` also fired
  on Ctrl+Shift+Tab and ``alt+enter`` on Alt+Shift+Enter.
  Early-return on ``key.shift === true`` so the runtime only fires
  the exact chord the user configured.

* **Test leaked ``HERMES_VOICE=1`` into later tests.**
  ``voice.toggle`` action=on writes to ``os.environ`` directly
  (CLI parity, runtime-only flag); ``test_voice_toggle_returns_
  configured_record_key`` dispatched action=on without letting
  monkeypatch take ownership of the var first. Any later test
  that read voice mode in the same Python process could inherit a
  stale enabled state. Added ``monkeypatch.setenv("HERMES_VOICE",
  "0")`` up front so monkeypatch restores the original value at
  teardown.

Coverage added:

* ``cmd+b`` / ``cmd+space`` / ``cmd+escape`` do NOT fire on
  ``key.meta``-only events on darwin.
* ``ctrl+tab`` / ``alt+enter`` / ``ctrl+o`` reject matches when
  ``key.shift`` is held; sanity cases without Shift still fire.

Suite: 585/585 TUI vitest green, 3/3 backend voice tests green,
tsc --noEmit clean.

* fix(tui): address Copilot round-6 review on #19835

Three classes of modifier-discipline tightening + one config-surface
honesty fix:

* **Default ``ctrl+b`` Cmd fallback leaked Alt+B.** The default's
  macOS Cmd+B muscle-memory path used ``isActionMod(key)``, which
  returns ``key.meta || key.super`` on darwin. hermes-ink also
  reports plain Alt as ``key.meta``, so Alt+B silently fired the
  default binding. Replaced with strict ``isMac && key.super ===
  true`` — kitty-style Cmd+B still works, Alt+B correctly
  rejected. Legacy-terminal mac users (Terminal.app without
  CSI-u) now get raw Ctrl+B only; the documented default still
  works everywhere.

* **ctrl / super branches accepted extra modifier bits.** The
  parser rejects multi-modifier configs like ``ctrl+alt+o``, but
  the runtime matcher was permissive — ``ctrl+o`` fired on
  Ctrl+Alt+O / Ctrl+Cmd+O, and ``super+b`` fired on Cmd+Alt+B /
  Ctrl+Cmd+B. Added strict ``!key.alt && !key.meta && key.super
  !== true`` on ctrl, and ``!key.ctrl && !key.alt && !key.meta``
  on super, so the runtime only fires the exact chord the parser
  would let you configure.

* **Dropped ``cmd`` / ``command`` aliases.** They parsed to
  ``super`` and rendered as ``Cmd+X``, but legacy macOS terminals
  report Cmd as ``key.meta`` (same signal as Alt), so a
  ``cmd+o`` config was advertised as working but never actually
  fired on Terminal.app-without-CSI-u. That recreated the
  "displayed shortcut does not work" problem this PR was meant to
  remove. Users who want the platform action modifier spell it
  ``super`` / ``win`` — that matches the unambiguous ``key.super``
  bit, and kitty-style macOS terminals render it as ``Cmd+X`` via
  platform-aware formatter.

Coverage updated:

* Default ctrl+b no longer fires on Alt+B via ``key.meta`` leak;
  raw Ctrl+B and kitty-style Cmd+B still fire.
* ``ctrl+o`` rejects Ctrl+Alt+O / Ctrl+Cmd+O / Ctrl+Meta+O chords.
* ``super+b`` rejects Cmd+Alt+B / Cmd+Meta+B / Ctrl+Cmd+B chords.
* ``cmd+b`` / ``command+b`` / ``meta+b`` all fall back to the
  documented default at parse time (joined the ambiguous-mac-mod
  rejection class).
* Round-2 expectations that asserted ``cmd+b`` parsed as super
  and accepted ``key.meta`` on darwin updated to reflect the new
  stricter contract.

Suite: 588/588 TUI vitest green, 3/3 backend voice tests green,
tsc --noEmit clean.

* fix(tui): address Copilot follow-up on wire typing + escape precedence

Two follow-ups from the latest Copilot pass:

* **Config wire typing honesty (`gatewayTypes.ts`)**
  `config.get full` forwards raw `yaml.safe_load()` output, so
  `voice.record_key` can be any scalar/container when hand-edited.
  Typing it as `string` suggests a normalized contract that the
  backend does not guarantee and makes unsafe callers more likely.
  Change `ConfigVoiceConfig.record_key` to `unknown` with an
  explicit comment that callers must normalize at runtime.

* **Escape-based voice bindings were swallowed before voice check**
  `useInputHandlers()` handled `key.escape` for queue-edit cancel and
  selection clear before `isVoiceToggleKey(...)`, so configured
  `ctrl+escape` / `alt+escape` / `super+escape` chords were advertised
  but never toggled recording in those UI states.
  Add an early escape+voice check before generic Esc handlers so
  escape-based voice bindings win when configured, while plain Esc
  behavior remains unchanged.

Also updated PR #19835 description text to remove stale cmd/command
alias claims and match the current parser contract.

* fix(tui): pass configured voice shortcut through TextInput layer

Thread the live parsed voiceRecordKey into TextInput so configured voice.record_key chords bubble to useInputHandlers instead of being consumed as editor input. This removes the last hardcoded Ctrl+B pass-through in the composer path while preserving existing global control chord behavior.

* fix(tui): require explicit alt bit for escape-based alt chords

Hermes-ink reports bare Escape as meta=true+escape=true on some terminals, so a configured alt+escape binding was firing on bare Esc. Require an explicit key.alt bit when the configured named key is escape so plain Esc stays plain Esc; kitty-style alt+escape still fires.

* fix(tui): harden voice.record + TextInput paste + super-mod reserved list

Three round-7 Copilot follow-ups on #19835:

- voice.record start handler used _load_cfg().get('voice', {}).get(...) without
  shape checks, so malformed YAML (bool/scalar/list) returned 5025 instead of
  using VAD defaults. Centralized _voice_cfg_dict() helper and type-guarded
  silence_threshold/silence_duration with numeric fallbacks.
- TextInput pass-through check moved above paste/copy handling so configured
  voice chords (ctrl+v / alt+v / cmd+v) beat the composer's paste/copy
  defaults.
- parser now also rejects super+{c,d,l,v} — on macOS those are
  copy/exit/clear/paste and would be advertised in /voice status but never
  actually toggle recording.

* fix(tui): round-8 Copilot review — allow ctrl+x, gate super reservations to macOS, preserve voice key on transient RPC failure

Three round-8 Copilot follow-ups on #19835:

- Revert ctrl+x addition to _RESERVED_CTRL_CHARS (landed via Copilot Autofix
  commit 731ec86): ctrl+x is only claimed during queue-edit
  (queueEditIdx !== null), so voice works the rest of the session and
  matches CLI ctrl+<letter> parity.
- Gate super+{c,d,l,v} reservation to isMac. Linux/Windows TUI globals key
  off Ctrl, so kitty/CSI-u super+<letter> configs don't collide on non-mac
  and should stay usable.
- applyDisplay() now skips setVoiceRecordKey when cfg is null so one
  transient quietRpc() failure after a config edit doesn't clobber the
  cached binding back to Ctrl+B until the next successful poll.

New coverage:
- parseVoiceRecordKey preserves ctrl+x on linux
- super+{c,d,l,v} rejected on darwin, allowed on linux
- applyDisplay(null, ...) leaves voiceRecordKey untouched

* fix(cli,tui): normalize voice.record_key aliases across CLI + TUI for parity

Round-9 Copilot review on #19835: TUI accepted control+/option+/opt+/super+/win+ aliases but the classic CLI only rewrote literal ctrl+/alt+ before handing to prompt_toolkit, so a TUI-valid config silently bound a different (or no) shortcut in the CLI.

- Added normalize_voice_record_key_for_prompt_toolkit() in hermes_cli/voice.py with a single alias table (ctrl/control/alt/option/opt → c-/a-).
- Wired it into all three cli.py sites (_enable_voice_mode hint, _show_voice_status display, and the prompt_toolkit binding in _register_voice_handler).
- /voice status display now renders control+x as Ctrl+X and option+x as Alt+X (canonical casing) to match TUI formatVoiceRecordKey.
- super/win/windows are intentionally left unchanged: prompt_toolkit has no super modifier, so the CLI will reject them loudly at startup rather than silently binding Ctrl+B. Documented this split at both the TUI _MOD_ALIASES comment and the CLI normalizer docstring.
- Added tests covering ctrl/control/alt/option/opt mapping, case-insensitivity, non-string fallback, empty-string fallback, and super/win pass-through.

* fix(cli): port TUI parser contract into CLI voice.record_key normalizer

Round-10 Copilot review on #19835.

hermes_cli/voice.py's normalize_voice_record_key_for_prompt_toolkit() previously did blind substring replacement with no trim/validate step, so the CLI diverged from the TUI parser on:
- whitespace ('ctrl + b' -> 'c- b' instead of 'c-b')
- typoed named keys ('ctrl+spcae' passed through as 'c-spcae' and prompt_toolkit would reject at startup)
- bare-char configs ('o' should fall back, not pass through as 'o')
- multi-modifier chords ('ctrl+alt+r')
- reserved ctrl chars ('ctrl+c/d/l')
- unknown modifiers ('meta+b' / 'shift+b')
- named-key aliases ('return'/'esc'/'bs'/'del' not collapsed to prompt_toolkit canonicals)

Port the TUI parser contract into Python (_VOICE_MOD_ALIASES, _VOICE_NAMED_KEYS, _VOICE_RESERVED_CTRL_CHARS) so one config value binds the same shortcut in both runtimes.

Also added format_voice_record_key_for_status() shared between the PTT hint and /voice status display. Non-string scalars (voice.record_key: true / 1) now surface as 'Ctrl+B' instead of the raw scalar — /voice status no longer advertises a shortcut that can never bind.

Tests: 29/29 in test_voice_wrapper.py, including 11 new regressions covering whitespace, named-key aliases, typos, bare-char, multi-modifier, reserved ctrl, unknown mods, non-string fallback, and formatter contract.

* fix(cli): shape-safe voice config read + graceful super/win fallback

Round-11 Copilot review on #19835.

Two remaining cross-runtime gaps:

1. load_config().get('voice', {}) still assumed voice was a dict, so a hand-edited voice: true / voice: cmd+b at the top level raised AttributeError before the voice UI could start. Added voice_record_key_from_config(cfg) to hermes_cli/voice.py that isinstance-guards both the root and the voice subkey. All three cli.py read sites (_enable_voice_mode hint, _show_voice_status, PTT binding) now use it.

2. The CLI normalizer previously passed super+/win+/windows+ through unrewritten so prompt_toolkit would reject them loudly at startup — but that crash was a worse UX than a silent fallback. Normalizer now returns c-b for those spellings, and the PTT binding site logs a warning so users see why their TUI-only shortcut isn't binding in the CLI.

Coverage: 34/34 in tests/hermes_cli/test_voice_wrapper.py (5 new cases for voice_record_key_from_config + malformed-root + malformed-voice + extractor/normalizer composition).

* fix(cli): self-audit cleanup — remaining voice-config shape safety + doc drift

Self-review of the voice.record_key change set turned up four remaining items Copilot would very likely flag next round:

1. cli.py _voice_start_continuous still read load_config().get('voice', {}).get('silence_threshold') without an isinstance guard, so a hand-edited voice: true / voice: cmd+b (non-dict) raised AttributeError on VAD recording start. Shape-safe coerce the voice dict and numeric-guard silence_threshold/silence_duration.

2. cli.py _enable_voice_mode's auto_tts check had the same bug — fixed with the same isinstance guard.

3. hermes_cli/voice.py module comment on _VOICE_MOD_ALIASES still said super/win/windows 'pass through unchanged and prompt_toolkit's add() call loudly rejects them at startup'. Round 11 changed the normalizer to silently fall back to c-b with a warning at the binding site; updated the comment to match.

4. ui-tui/src/lib/platform.ts header comment had the same stale 'CLI will loudly reject them at startup' claim; updated to 'falls back to the documented default and logs a warning'.

No behavior change on the code paths already covered by test_voice_wrapper.py; the two cli.py fixes are defensive against malformed YAML that previous rounds already hardened in tui_gateway/server.py but missed in the classic CLI.

* fix(cli,tui): round-12 Copilot review — alt-collide on mac, bool-in-int guards, voice UI hardcodes, mtime-reload test

Five round-12 Copilot review items on #19835:

1. platform.ts: hermes-ink reports Alt as key.meta on many terminals; isActionMod on darwin accepts key.meta as the action modifier. So alt+c/d/l get claimed by isCopyShortcut / isAction('d')/'l') before the voice check. Reject those configs at parse time on macOS only (non-mac keeps them usable).

2. cli.py: four remaining hardcoded 'Ctrl+B' sites in voice-facing UI (_get_voice_status_fragments status bar, _voice_start_recording hints, _get_placeholder composer text) were still lying about non-default configs. Added self._voice_record_key_label() shared helper and wired it into all three sites.

3. server.py + cli.py: bool is a subclass of int, so isinstance(silence_threshold, (int, float)) accepted True/False from malformed YAML and forwarded 1/0 to the VAD engine. Exclude bool explicitly so boolean typos fall back to the documented 200 / 3.0 defaults.

4. useConfigSync.ts: extracted the config.get-full fetch+apply body into a shared hydrateFullConfig() helper. Both the initial hydration and mtime-reload paths now use it, so the polling/RPC wiring is exercised by direct unit tests (4 new cases: fresh apply, reapply on new value, transient RPC failure preserves cache, back-compat without voice setter).

5. Added alt+{c,d,l} rejection regressions on darwin + allow on linux, and bool-leak regressions for both silence_threshold and silence_duration in tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py.

Suite: 602/602 TUI vitest, 38/38 backend voice tests, typecheck + lints clean.

* fix(cli): cache voice record-key label at binding time + status-bar coverage

Round-13 Copilot review on #19835.

_voice_record_key_label() was reading live config on every render, which caused two problems:

1. prompt_toolkit registers the push-to-talk binding once at session start (@kb.add(_voice_key)); the binding does NOT re-read config. Editing voice.record_key mid-session would switch the status-bar / placeholder / recording-hint label to the new shortcut while the actual keybinding stayed on the startup chord — reintroducing the display/binding drift this whole PR is fighting.

2. Hot render path: during recording the UI is invalidated every 150ms, so re-loading + deep-merging config on every call added avoidable UI overhead.

Fix: cache the label at the same site that registers the prompt_toolkit binding via new set_voice_record_key_cache(raw_key). _voice_record_key_label() now just returns the cached value (falls back to 'Ctrl+B' before startup). Status/placeholder/hint are always in sync with the live binding; no config reload per render.

Also added 4 regression cases to tests/cli/test_cli_status_bar.py: configured ctrl+<letter> renders in both wide and compact status bars, configured named key (ctrl+space) renders in the recording hint, pre-startup absent cache falls back to Ctrl+B, and malformed configs (bool True) fall through the formatter to Ctrl+B.

Suite: 60/60 test_cli_status_bar + test_voice_wrapper, typecheck + lints clean.

* fix(cli): route /voice on + /voice status through startup-pinned label; mac alt+cdl parity

Round-14 Copilot review on #19835. All three comments legit:

1. _enable_voice_mode still formatted label from live load_config() — mid-session config edit would make /voice on announce the new shortcut while the prompt_toolkit binding stayed the startup chord. Use self._voice_record_key_label() (cached at binding time, round-13) so /voice on cannot drift from the live binding.

2. _show_voice_status had the same bug — /voice status reported live config instead of the pinned startup binding. Fixed the same way.

3. CLI normalizer accepted alt+c/alt+d/alt+l even though the TUI parser rejects them on macOS (Copilot round-12 — hermes-ink reports Alt as key.meta, isActionMod on darwin accepts it, collides with isCopyShortcut / isAction). Added _VOICE_RESERVED_ALT_CHARS_MAC = {c,d,l} gated to sys.platform == 'darwin' so a shared config like option+c falls back to c-b on both runtimes on macOS; non-mac still binds a-c.

Coverage: 4 new tests in test_voice_wrapper.py covering mac alt+cdl rejection, linux alt+cdl allowed, option/opt alias forms, and mac-specific exclusions for other alt letters. 62/62 in voice wrapper + status bar suites.

eadf34633e fix(models): strip :cloud/-cloud suffix from models.dev Ollama Cloud IDs
models.dev appends :cloud and -cloud suffixes to Ollama Cloud model IDs
(e.g. kimi-k2.6:cloud, qwen3-coder:480b-cloud) that the live Ollama Cloud
API does not use. Without normalisation, these suffixed IDs bypass the
dedup check and appear alongside the correct clean IDs, causing 400/404
errors when users select them in /model or hermes model.

Add _strip_ollama_cloud_suffix() and apply it to mdev entries before the
dedup merge in fetch_ollama_cloud_models() so all model IDs stored in the
disk cache use the canonical form the API accepts.

20edca75e9 fix(update): sync bundled skills to all profiles, including active (#16176)
`hermes update` iterated only non-active profiles when seeding bundled
skills. `seed_profile_skills()` uses a subprocess with an explicit
HERMES_HOME so it correctly targets any profile path; the `p.name !=
active` filter was the only thing preventing the active profile from
being included, leaving it silently on stale skill content after every
update.

Drop the filter and update the header line from "other profiles" to
"all profiles". The active profile is now seeded on the same path as
every other profile. The earlier `sync_skills()` call (module-level
HERMES_HOME) remains for backward compatibility; the subprocess-based
loop is reliable regardless of which HERMES_HOME the CLI was invoked
with.

feat(cron): add no_agent mode for script-only cron jobs (watchdog pattern) (#19709)
* feat(cron): add no_agent mode for script-only cron jobs (watchdog pattern)

Adds a no_agent=True option to the cronjob system. When enabled, the
scheduler runs the attached script on schedule and delivers its stdout
directly to the job's target — no LLM, no agent loop, no token spend.
This is the classic bash-watchdog pattern (memory alert every 5 min,
disk alert every 15 min, CI ping) reimplemented as a first-class Hermes
primitive instead of a systemd timer + curl + bot token triplet living
outside the system.

## What

  hermes cron create "every 5m" \
    --no-agent \
    --script memory-watchdog.sh \
    --deliver telegram \
    --name memory-watchdog

Agent tool:

  cronjob(action='create',
          schedule='every 5m',
          script='memory-watchdog.sh',
          no_agent=True,
          deliver='telegram')

Semantics:
- Script stdout (trimmed) → delivered verbatim as the message
- Empty stdout          → silent tick (no delivery; watchdog pattern)
- wakeAgent=false gate  → silent tick (same gate LLM jobs use)
- Non-zero exit/timeout → delivered as an error alert
                          (broken watchdogs shouldn't fail silently)
- No LLM ever invoked; no tokens spent; no provider fallback applied

## Implementation

cron/jobs.py
  * create_job gains no_agent: bool = False
  * prompt becomes Optional (no_agent jobs don't need one)
  * Validation: no_agent=True requires a script at create time
  * Field roundtrips via load_jobs / save_jobs / update_job

cron/scheduler.py
  * run_job: new short-circuit branch at the top that runs the script,
    wraps its output into the (success, doc, final_response, error)
    tuple downstream delivery already expects, and returns before any
    AIAgent import or construction
  * _run_job_script: picks interpreter by extension — .sh/.bash run
    under /bin/bash, anything else under sys.executable (Python).
    Shell support unlocks the bash-watchdog pattern without wrapping
    scripts in Python. Extension is explicit; we deliberately do NOT
    trust the file's own shebang. Path-containment guard (scripts dir)
    unchanged.

tools/cronjob_tools.py
  * Schema: new no_agent boolean property with clear trigger guidance
  * cronjob() accepts no_agent and validates mode-specific shape:
    - no_agent=True requires script; prompt/skills optional
    - no_agent=False keeps the existing 'prompt or skill required' rule
  * update path rejects flipping no_agent=True on a job without a script
  * _format_job surfaces no_agent in list output
  * Handler lambda forwards no_agent from tool args

hermes_cli/main.py, hermes_cli/cron.py
  * 'hermes cron create --no-agent' and edit's --no-agent / --agent
    pair for toggling at CLI parity with the agent tool
  * Existing --script help text updated to describe both modes
  * List / create / edit output now shows 'Mode: no-agent (...)' when set

## Tests

tests/cron/test_cron_no_agent.py — 18 tests covering:
  * create_job: no_agent shape, validation, field persistence
  * update_job: flag roundtrip across reload
  * cronjob tool: schema validation, update toggling, mode-specific
    requirements, prompt-relaxation rule
  * run_job short-circuit:
    - success path delivers stdout verbatim
    - empty stdout → SILENT_MARKER (no delivery downstream)
    - wakeAgent=false gate → silent
    - script failure → error alert
    - run_job does NOT import AIAgent (verified via mock)
  * _run_job_script:
    - .sh executes via bash (no shebang required)
    - .bash executes via bash
    - .py still runs via sys.executable (regression)
    - path-traversal still blocked (security regression)

All 18 new tests pass. 341/342 pre-existing cron tests still pass; the
one failure (test_script_empty_output_noted) was already broken on main
and is unrelated to this change.

## Docs

website/docs/guides/cron-script-only.md — new dedicated guide covering
the watchdog pattern, interpreter rules, delivery mapping, worked
examples (memory / disk alerts), and the comparison table vs hermes send,
regular LLM cron jobs, and OS-level cron.

website/docs/user-guide/features/cron.md — new 'No-agent mode' section
in the cron feature reference, cross-linked to the guide.

website/docs/guides/automate-with-cron.md — new tip box pointing users
to no-agent mode when they don't need LLM reasoning.

## Compatibility

- Existing jobs: unchanged. no_agent defaults to False, existing code
  paths untouched until the flag is set.
- Schema additive only; older jobs.json without the field load fine
  via .get() with False default.
- New CLI flags are opt-in and don't alter existing flag behavior.

* fix(cron): lazy-import AIAgent + SessionDB so no_agent ticks pay zero

The unconditional `from run_agent import AIAgent` + SessionDB() init at
the top of run_job() meant every no_agent tick still paid the full agent
module load cost (~300ms + transitive imports + DB open) even though it
never touched any of that machinery.

Move both to live under the default (LLM) path, after the no_agent
short-circuit has returned. Now a no_agent tick's sys.modules stays
clean — verified end-to-end:

    assert 'run_agent' not in sys.modules  # before
    run_job(no_agent_job)
    assert 'run_agent' not in sys.modules  # after

The existing mock-based unit test (test_run_job_no_agent_never_invokes_aiagent)
kept passing because patch() replaces the class AFTER import; the leak
was only visible via real subprocess-style verification. End-to-end
demo confirmed: agent calls cronjob(no_agent=True) → script runs →
stdout delivered → no LLM machinery loaded.

* docs(cron): tighten no_agent tool schema — defaults, silent semantics, pick rule

Previous description buried the important bits in one long sentence.
Agents could plausibly miss three things an LLM-facing schema should
make unmissable:

1. What the default is — now first sentence + JSON Schema `default: false`
2. What 'silent run' actually means for the user — now spelled out:
   'nothing is sent to the user and they won't see anything happened'
3. When to pick True vs False — now a concrete decision rule with
   examples on both sides (watchdogs/metrics/pollers → True;
   summarize/draft/pick/rephrase → False)

Also adds explicit 'prompt and skills are ignored when True' since the
agent could otherwise still pass them out of habit.

No behavior change — schema text only.

d35efb9898 feat(telegram): /topic off + help + auth gate + screenshot debounce
Four production-readiness additions to topic mode:

1. /topic off — clean disable path. Flips telegram_dm_topic_mode.enabled
   to 0 and clears telegram_dm_topic_bindings for this chat. Previously
   users had to edit state.db with sqlite3 to turn the feature off.
   Idempotent: calling /topic off when the chat was never enabled
   returns a friendly no-op message.

2. /topic help — inline usage printed in the DM so users don't have to
   visit docs to discover /topic off, /topic <session-id>, etc.

3. Authorization gate. /topic mutates SQLite side tables and flips the
   root DM into a lobby, so the action must be authorized. Now calls
   self._is_user_authorized(source); unauthorized DMs get a refusal
   instead of activation. Defense in depth on top of the gateway's
   existing pre-route auth.

4. BotFather screenshot debounce. A user repeatedly running /topic
   while Threads Settings is still disabled would previously re-upload
   the same screenshot every time. Now rate-limited to one send per
   5 minutes per chat. /topic off resets the counter so re-enabling
   starts fresh.

Command-def args hint updated: /topic [off|help|session-id].

Docs:
- New /topic subcommands table at the top of the multi-session section
- Disable instructions updated to recommend /topic off first, with the
  raw SQL fallback kept for bulk cleanup
- Under-the-hood list extended with the capability-hint debounce and
  the authorization gate

Tests (6 new):
- /topic help returns usage and doesn't create topic tables
- /topic off disables mode AND clears bindings
- /topic off is idempotent when never enabled
- Unauthorized users get refusal, no tables created
- Capability-hint debounce is per-chat
- /topic off resets both lobby and capability debounce counters

All 402 targeted tests pass. Full gateway sweep: 4809/4810
(pre-existing test_teams::test_send_typing unrelated).

Pre-fix, _is_anthropic_fast_model() returned True for any claude-* model,
so /fast on Opus 4.7 (or Sonnet/Haiku) would persist agent.service_tier=fast
in config.yaml and the adapter would inject extra_body["speed"] = "fast"
on every subsequent request. Opus 4.7 returns:

  HTTP 400: 'claude-opus-4-7' does not support the `speed` parameter.

This wedged sessions across model upgrades (a user who ran /fast on Opus 4.6
and later switched the default model to 4.7 hit a hard 400 on every turn
until they manually edited config.yaml).

Changes:
- _is_anthropic_fast_model: gate on "opus-4-6" / "opus-4.6" only
- anthropic_adapter: add _supports_fast_mode predicate as defensive guard
  so stale request_overrides on an unsupported model are dropped silently
  instead of 400'ing
- Tests: flip the assertions that mirrored the bug (Sonnet/Haiku/Opus 4.7
  asserting fast-mode support) to match the documented API contract

42d72b5922 fix(status): add missing popular provider API keys to hermes status display
Closes #16082.

`hermes status` silently omitted four widely-used LLM providers
(Google/Gemini, DeepSeek, xAI/Grok, NVIDIA NIM) from the API Keys
and API-Key Providers sections. Add them, along with tuple-valued
env var support (first found wins) so Google can accept either
GOOGLE_API_KEY or GEMINI_API_KEY.

Also deduplicates the "NVIDIA" and "NVIDIA NIM" rows that were
both pointing at NVIDIA_API_KEY.

Salvage of #16159 (core behavior preserved + NVIDIA dedup fixup
on top of the tuple-support refactor).

b46b0c9888 fix(backup): floor pre-update backup_keep to 1 so the new backup survives
`updates.backup_keep: 0` (or any negative value) wiped the freshly-
created pre-update zip:

  _prune_pre_update_backups(backup_dir, keep=0):
      backups = sorted(..., reverse=True)   # newest first, includes
                                            # the zip we just wrote
      for p in backups[0:]:                 # = all of them
          p.unlink()

The wrapper in `main.py` then printed `Saved: <path>` for a file that
no longer existed (the size lookup is wrapped in `try/except OSError`
which silently degrades to "0 B"), leaving operators believing they had
a recovery point when they had none.

This is a real footgun because some config systems treat 0 as "keep
unlimited"; here it does the opposite — every backup is destroyed
right after creation.

Fix: clamp `keep` to a minimum of 1 inside `_prune_pre_update_backups`
since that helper is only invoked immediately after a fresh backup
is written.  Operators who genuinely want no backups should set
`updates.pre_update_backup: false` (which gates creation entirely)
rather than relying on `backup_keep: 0`.

Also extends the `backup_keep` config docstring to spell out the floor
and point at `pre_update_backup: false` as the off-switch.

## Tests

Three regression tests added in `TestPreUpdateBackup`:

  - `test_keep_zero_does_not_delete_freshly_created_backup` —
    asserts the file persists after `keep=0`
  - `test_keep_negative_does_not_delete_freshly_created_backup` —
    same for negative values
  - `test_keep_zero_still_prunes_older_backups` — proves the floor
    only protects the new backup; older ones are still rotated out

Verified the new tests fail on origin/main (without the floor) and
pass with it; full `tests/hermes_cli/test_backup.py` suite green
(84 tests).

feat(nous): persist Nous OAuth across profiles via shared token store (#19712)
Mirrors the Codex auto-import UX. On successful Nous login (either
`hermes auth add nous --type oauth` or `hermes login nous`), tokens are
mirrored to `$HERMES_SHARED_AUTH_DIR/nous_auth.json` (default
`~/.hermes/shared/nous_auth.json`, outside any named profile's
HERMES_HOME). On next login in a new profile, the flow offers to import
those credentials ("Import these credentials? [Y/n]") and rehydrates via
a forced refresh+mint instead of running the full device-code flow.

Runtime refresh in any profile syncs the rotated refresh_token back to
the shared store so sibling profiles don't hit stale-token fallback
after rotation.

The volatile 24h agent_key is NOT persisted to the shared store —
only the long-lived OAuth tokens are cross-profile useful.

- `HERMES_SHARED_AUTH_DIR` env var for tests + custom layouts
- Pytest seat belt mirrors the existing `_auth_file_path` guard so
  forgetting to redirect the store in a test fails loudly
- File mode 0600 where platform supports it
- Runtime credential resolution is unchanged — shared store is only
  consulted during the login flow, so profile isolation at runtime is
  preserved
- Stale refresh_token + portal-down cases gracefully fall back to
  device-code

Addresses a user report from Mike Nguyen: running
`hermes --profile <name> auth add nous --type oauth` for every new
profile is unnecessary friction now that Codex has a shared-import
flow via `~/.codex/auth.json`.

ae40fca955 fix(profiles): keep validate_profile_name strict; callers normalize first
Follow-up to @changchun989's cherry-pick: reverts the validate-via-
normalize change so validate_profile_name remains a strict regex check
on the input AS-GIVEN. Callers that accept mixed-case user input
(dashboard UI, CLI args, import flows) call normalize_profile_name()
first, then validate the result. This keeps validate honest about
what the on-disk directory name must look like — e.g. '  jules '
(trailing whitespace) is now rejected instead of silently trimmed
and accepted.

- validate_profile_name: strict lowercase/regex check again, 'UPPER'
  back in the invalid-names parametrize
- 8 call sites in profiles.py (create_profile, delete_profile,
  set_active_profile, export_profile, import_profile, rename_profile,
  resolve_profile_env, plus the clone_from branch): swap the
  normalize-then-validate order
- scripts/release.py: add changchun989@proton.me -> changchun989 to
  AUTHOR_MAP so CI doesn't block on the unmapped contributor email

All kanban + profile tests pass (268 across test_profiles.py +
test_kanban_db.py + test_kanban_core_functionality.py, plus 73 in
test_kanban_tools.py + test_kanban_dashboard_plugin.py).

60c4bc96fd fix(security): restore .env/auth.json/state.db with 0600 perms
`hermes import` was creating secret files with the process umask
(typically 0644) instead of 0600. zipfile.open() does not honor the
Unix mode bits stored in zip member external_attr; the restore loop
used open(target, "wb") which always falls back to umask.

Threat: silent privilege downgrade after a routine restore on
multi-user systems (shared dev boxes, CI runners, jump hosts) — any
local user could read API keys and OAuth tokens from ~/.hermes/.

Fix mirrors the convention already used at file creation
(hermes_cli/auth.py: stat.S_IRUSR | stat.S_IWUSR for auth.json).
The quick-snapshot restore path (restore_quick_snapshot) is
unaffected — it uses shutil.copy2 which preserves perms via
copystat().

feat(kanban): multi-project boards — one install, many kanbans (#19653)
Adds first-class board support to kanban so users can separate unrelated
streams of work (projects, repos, domains) into isolated queues. Single-
project users stay on the 'default' board and see no UI change.

Isolation model
---------------
- Each board is a directory at `~/.hermes/kanban/boards/<slug>/` with
  its own `kanban.db`, `workspaces/`, and `logs/`. The 'default' board
  keeps its legacy path (`~/.hermes/kanban.db`) for back-compat — fresh
  installs and pre-boards users get zero migration.
- Workers spawned by the dispatcher have `HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD` pinned in
  their env alongside the existing `HERMES_KANBAN_DB` /
  `HERMES_KANBAN_WORKSPACES_ROOT` pins, so workers physically cannot see
  other boards' tasks.
- The gateway's single dispatcher loop now sweeps every board per tick;
  per-tick cost is a few extra filesystem stats.
- CAS concurrency guarantees are preserved per-board (each board is its
  own SQLite DB, same WAL+IMMEDIATE machinery as before).

CLI
---
  hermes kanban boards list|create|switch|show|rename|rm
  hermes kanban --board <slug> <any-subcommand>

Board resolution order: `--board` flag → `HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD` env →
`~/.hermes/kanban/current` file → `default`. Slug validation is strict:
lowercase alphanumerics + hyphens + underscores, 1-64 chars, starts with
alphanumeric. Uppercase is auto-downcased; slashes / dots / `..` /
control chars are rejected so boards can't name their way out of the
boards/ directory.

Passive discoverability: when more than one board exists, `hermes kanban
list` prints a one-line header ("Board: foo (2 other boards …)") so
users who stumble across multi-project never have to hunt for the
feature. Invisible for single-board installs.

Dashboard
---------
- New `BoardSwitcher` component at the top of the Kanban tab: dropdown
  with all boards + task counts, `+ New board` button, `Archive`
  button (non-default only). Hidden entirely when only `default` exists
  and is empty — single-project users never see it.
- New `NewBoardDialog` modal: slug / display name / description / icon
  + "switch to this board after creating" checkbox.
- Selected board persists to `localStorage` so browser users don't
  shift the CLI's active board out from under a terminal they left open.
- New `?board=<slug>` query param on every existing endpoint plus a
  new `/boards` CRUD surface (`GET /boards`, `POST /boards`,
  `PATCH /boards/<slug>`, `DELETE /boards/<slug>`,
  `POST /boards/<slug>/switch`).
- Events WebSocket is pinned to a board at connection time; switching
  opens a fresh WS against the new board.

Also fixes a pre-existing bug in the plugin's tenant / assignee
filters: the SDK's `Select` uses `onValueChange(value)`, not
native `onChange(event)`, so those filters silently didn't work.
New `selectChangeHandler` helper wires both signatures.

Tests
-----
49 new tests in `tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_boards.py` covering:
slug validation (valid / invalid / auto-downcase), path resolution
(default = legacy path, named = `boards/<slug>/`, env var override),
current-board resolution chain (env > file > default), board CRUD +
archive / hard-delete, per-board connection isolation (tasks don't
leak), worker spawn env injection (`HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD`,
`HERMES_KANBAN_DB`, `HERMES_KANBAN_WORKSPACES_ROOT` all point at the
right board), and end-to-end CLI surface.

Regression surface: all 264 pre-existing kanban tests continue to pass.

Live-tested via the dashboard: created 3 boards (default,
hermes-agent, atm10-server), created tasks on each via both CLI
(`--board <slug> create`) and dashboard (inline create on the Ready
column), confirmed zero cross-board leakage, confirmed `BoardSwitcher`
+ `NewBoardDialog` work end-to-end in the browser.

fix: refresh systemd unit on gateway boot (not just start/restart) (#19684)
The resilient restart settings from PR #18639 only took effect when
the gateway was started via `hermes gateway start` or `hermes gateway
restart` — both of which call refresh_systemd_unit_if_needed() which
writes the new unit and runs daemon-reload.

However, when the gateway self-restarts via exit-code-75 (stale-code
detection after `hermes update`, or the /restart command), systemd
respawns the process directly without going through any CLI function.
The unit file on disk stays stale, and systemd keeps using the old
cached settings (StartLimitBurst=5, RestartSec=30) until someone
manually runs `hermes gateway restart`.

This meant that after PR #18639 was deployed, users who never ran
`hermes gateway restart` manually were still vulnerable to the
permanent-death-on-network-outage bug.

Fix: call refresh_systemd_unit_if_needed() at the top of run_gateway()
(the foreground entry point that systemd's ExecStart invokes). This
ensures that on every boot — whether triggered by systemd restart,
exit-75 respawn, or manual foreground run — the unit definition and
daemon state are current. The call is best-effort (exceptions caught)
and a no-op when the unit is already current (one stat + string compare).

46072425fe fix(model-picker): exclude providers with empty credential pool entries
The auth check in list_authenticated_providers used mere key presence in
credential_pool to conclude a provider is authenticated.  An empty entry
(pool_store key with no actual credentials) caused providers like
ollama-cloud to appear as authenticated in the model picker even when no
OLLAMA_API_KEY was set.

The user's picker then offered nemotron-3-super under Ollama Cloud;
selecting it routed every subsequent turn to https://ollama.com/v1, which
rejected the requests with HTTP 400.

Fix: drop the pool_store key-existence check from both section 2
(HERMES_OVERLAYS) and section 2b (CANONICAL_PROVIDERS).  The following
load_pool().has_credentials() call already handles the legitimate pooled-
credential case; checking for an empty key just ahead of it was redundant
and actively harmful.

c8ecb56f27 fix(cli): reject invalid argv values from -p/--profile before resolving
`_apply_profile_override()` scans `sys.argv` for `-p / --profile` at
module import time. When `hermes_cli.main` is imported inside pytest
with `-p no:xdist` on the command line, it picks up `'no:xdist'` as a
profile name candidate, then passes it to `resolve_profile_env()` which
raises `ValueError` (invalid format), and the function calls
`sys.exit(1)` — aborting test collection with an INTERNALERROR before
any test runs.

The same conflict affects any tool or wrapper that uses `-p` for its
own flag and then imports `hermes_cli.main`.

Fix: add a format guard immediately after step 1 (explicit flag scan).
If `consume == 2` (the value came from `-p <value>`, not
`--profile=value`) and the candidate doesn't match the canonical
profile-name pattern `[a-z0-9][a-z0-9_-]{0,63}` (mirrored from
`hermes_cli.profiles._PROFILE_ID_RE`), discard it and continue as if
no `-p` flag was found. The `active_profile` file-based fallback
(step 2) only reads a file written by hermes itself, so it always
produces valid names and needs no guard.

Regression guard: with the guard reverted, importing
`hermes_cli.main` with `sys.argv = ['pytest', '-p', 'no:xdist', ...]`
raises `SystemExit(1)`. With the guard in place, the import succeeds
and `sys.argv` is left intact for pytest. Legitimate `-p coder` still
flows through to `resolve_profile_env()` unchanged.

Rebased onto current `origin/main` (`e5dad4ac5`) — the prior branch
base (`4fade39c9`) was 824 commits behind and the PR was DIRTY /
CONFLICTING. The 1.5 HERMES_HOME-set early-return block has since
landed between the original insertion point and step 2; the new guard
is positioned correctly before the early return so a bogus `-p` value
no longer prevents the early return from kicking in.

99faac212e fix(tui): prevent trailing space in picker-command completions
Commands that open pickers (/model, /skin, /personality) previously
received a trailing space in their completions to keep the dropdown
visible in the classic CLI. However, the TUI's submit handler applies
the completion when Enter is pressed and the result differs from the
input — so '/model' + space became '/model ' and the command was never
executed.

Picker commands now omit the trailing space for exact matches, allowing
Enter to submit and open the picker. Non-picker commands (/help, etc.)
are unaffected.

4e2b20b705 fix(cli): sync use_gateway in _reconfigure_provider for tts, browser, and web
_reconfigure_provider() updates cloud_provider/backend/tts.provider when
switching tool providers via "hermes setup tools → Reconfigure", but did
not update the matching use_gateway flag. _configure_provider() (the
initial-setup path) sets use_gateway on all three tool categories. The
omission in _reconfigure_provider leaves a stale value in config.yaml:
switching from a Nous-managed provider (use_gateway=True) to a self-hosted
one keeps use_gateway=True, continuing to route requests through the Nous
gateway; switching the other way leaves use_gateway unset so the managed
feature does not activate.

Fix: mirror _configure_provider's use_gateway = bool(managed_feature)
assignment in the tts, browser, and web blocks of _reconfigure_provider.
Symmetric across all three tool categories. No behavior change for any
provider that does not set tts_provider, browser_provider, or web_backend.

c857592558 fix(cli): allow custom:* provider slugs in model validation
Two related fixes for custom_providers model switching:

1. validate_requested_model() now recognizes custom:<name> slugs
   (e.g. custom:volcengine) as custom endpoints, not generic providers.
   Previously only the bare 'custom' slug matched the relaxed validation
   branch, causing model validation to fail with 'not found in provider
   listing' for all named custom providers.

2. switch_model() now consults the custom_providers list when deciding
   whether to override a validation rejection. If the requested model
   matches the entry's 'model' field or any key in its 'models' dict,
   the switch is accepted even when the remote /v1/models endpoint does
   not list it.

Both changes are covered by existing tests (86 passed).

e8cdcf5328 fix: exclude ancestor PIDs from gateway process scan (#13242)
_scan_gateway_pids() uses ps-based pattern matching to find running
gateways. When invoked from the CLI (e.g. `hermes gateway status`),
the calling process itself matches gateway patterns, causing false
positives — the CLI is mistakenly counted as a running gateway.

Add _get_ancestor_pids() that walks the process tree from the current
PID up to init (PID 1). Merge this set into exclude_pids at the top
of _scan_gateway_pids() so the entire ancestor chain is filtered out.

This complements the existing os.getpid() exclusion in
_append_unique_pid() by also covering parent/grandparent processes
(e.g. when hermes is invoked via a wrapper script or shell).

SLACK_HOME_CHANNEL presence at the end of the wizard — but the value
was never collected, leaving cron delivery and cross-platform

verify the prompt is saved when provided and skipped when left blank.

81ce945450 fix(gateway): show other profiles in gateway status to prevent confusion
When multiple gateway profiles are running (e.g. default and wx1),
`hermes gateway status` can be misleading — stopping one profile's
gateway and checking status may still show the other profile's process
without indicating which profile it belongs to.

Add `_print_other_profiles_gateway_status()` which displays running
gateways from other profiles at the bottom of the status output:

    Other profiles:
      ✓ wx1              — PID 166893

This uses the existing `find_profile_gateway_processes()` and
`get_active_profile_name()` — no new dependencies.

fix(cli): local backend CLI always uses launch directory, stops .env sync of TERMINAL_CWD (#19334)
The old CWD heuristic was fooled by:
1. TERMINAL_CWD persisted to .env by `hermes config set terminal.cwd`
2. Inherited TERMINAL_CWD from parent hermes processes
3. Only resolved when config had a placeholder value (not explicit paths)

Fix:
- load_cli_config() unconditionally uses os.getcwd() for local backend
- TERMINAL_CWD always force-exported in CLI mode (overrides stale values)
- Gateway sets _HERMES_GATEWAY=1 marker so lazy cli.py imports don't clobber
- Remove terminal.cwd from config-set .env sync map (prevents re-poisoning)
- Clarify setup wizard label as 'Gateway working directory'

Closes #19214

5671059f62 feat(docker): launch dashboard as side-process via HERMES_DASHBOARD=1
Adds an optional dashboard side-process to the container entrypoint,
toggled by `HERMES_DASHBOARD=1` (also accepts `true` / `yes`).  When set,
the entrypoint backgrounds `hermes dashboard` before `exec`-ing the main
command so the user's chosen foreground process (gateway, chat, `sleep
infinity`, …) remains PID-of-interest for the container runtime.
  docker run -d \
    -v ~/.hermes:/opt/data \
    -p 8642:8642 -p 9119:9119 \
    -e HERMES_DASHBOARD=1 \
    nousresearch/hermes-agent gateway run
Defaults chosen for the container case:
 - Host: 0.0.0.0 (reachable through published port; can override to
   127.0.0.1 via HERMES_DASHBOARD_HOST for sidecar/reverse-proxy setups)
 - Port: 9119 (matches `hermes dashboard`)
 - Auto-adds `--insecure` when binding to non-localhost, matching the
   dashboard's own safety gate for exposing API keys
 - HERMES_DASHBOARD_TUI is read by `hermes dashboard` directly — no
   entrypoint plumbing needed
Dashboard output is prefixed with `[dashboard]` via `stdbuf`+`sed -u` so
it's easy to separate from gateway logs in `docker logs`.  No supervision:
if the dashboard crashes it stays down until the container restarts
(documented in the `:::note` panel).
Other changes bundled in:
 - Deprecate GATEWAY_HEALTH_URL / GATEWAY_HEALTH_TIMEOUT env vars in
   hermes_cli/web_server.py with a DEPRECATED block comment and a
   `.. deprecated::` note on _probe_gateway_health.  The feature still
   works for this release; it'll be removed alongside the move to a
   first-class dashboard config key.
 - Rewrite the "Running the dashboard" doc section around the new
   single-container pattern.  Drops the previously-documented
   dashboard-as-its-own-container setup — that pattern relied on the
   deprecated env vars for cross-container gateway-liveness detection,
   and without them the dashboard would permanently report the gateway
   as "not running".
 - Collapse the two-service Compose example (gateway + dashboard
   container) into a single service with HERMES_DASHBOARD=1.  Removes
   the now-unnecessary bridge network and `depends_on`.
 - Drop the ":::warning" caveat about "Running a dashboard container
   alongside the gateway is safe" — that case no longer exists.

2f2998bb1b fix(tui): tolerate npm's peer-flag drop in lockfile comparison
`_tui_need_npm_install()` compares the canonical `package-lock.json` against
the hidden `node_modules/.package-lock.json` to decide whether `npm install`
needs to re-run. npm 9 drops the `"peer": true` field from the hidden lock
on dev-deps that are *also* declared as peers (the canonical lock preserves
the dual annotation). That made the check flag 16 packages (`@babel/core`,
`@types/node`, `@types/react`, `@typescript-eslint/*`, `react`, `vite`,
`tsx`, `typescript`, …) as mismatched on every launch, triggering a runtime
`npm install`.
Inside the Docker image, that runtime install then fails with EACCES because
`/opt/hermes/ui-tui/node_modules/` is root-owned from build time, so
`docker run … hermes-agent --tui` prints:
    Installing TUI dependencies…
    npm install failed.
…and exits 1, with no preview. The empty preview is a second bug: the
launcher captured only stderr, but npm 9 writes EACCES to stdout, which
was DEVNULL'd.
Fixes:
 - Add `"peer"` to `_NPM_LOCK_RUNTIME_KEYS` so the comparison ignores the
   non-deterministic field, alongside the existing `"ideallyInert"`.
 - Capture stdout as well as stderr in the install subprocess so future
   failures surface a useful preview instead of a bare "failed." line.
Regression tests:
 - `test_no_install_when_only_peer_annotation_differs` — the exact scenario
 - `test_install_when_version_differs_even_with_peer_drop` — guards against
   the peer-drop tolerance masking a real version skew
On-host impact: the same false-positive was firing on every `hermes --tui`
invocation from a normal checkout, silently running a no-op `npm install`
each time (it converged because the host's `node_modules/` is writable).
Startup time on the TUI should drop noticeably.

2d7543c61f fix(windows): enforce UTF-8 stdout/stderr to prevent UnicodeEncodeError crash
On Windows, services and terminals default to cp1252 encoding. The CLI
uses box-drawing characters (┌│├└─) in banners, doctor output, and
status displays. When print() tries to encode these under cp1252, an
unhandled UnicodeEncodeError crashes the gateway on startup.

This fix adds early UTF-8 enforcement in hermes_cli/__init__.py:
- Sets PYTHONUTF8=1 and PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8
- Re-opens stdout/stderr with UTF-8 encoding if not already UTF-8

Runs at import time so it protects all CLI subcommands. No effect on
Unix (gated on sys.platform == "win32"). Backwards-compatible: on
systems already using UTF-8, the function is a no-op.

Fixes #10956

65bebb9b80 fix(cli): follow 307 redirects in MiniMax OAuth httpx clients
The MiniMax OAuth API endpoints have moved from api.minimax.io to
account.minimax.io and the old paths now respond with HTTP 307.
httpx defaults to follow_redirects=False (unlike requests), so the
device-code and token-refresh flows fail with "Temporary Redirect".

Adds follow_redirects=True to the two httpx.Client instances in
hermes_cli/auth.py used by the MiniMax OAuth flow. This is forward-
compatible -- if endpoints move again, the redirect chain is
followed automatically.

Repro before patch:
  curl -i -X POST https://api.minimax.io/oauth/code  # -> 307
  curl -i -X POST https://api.minimax.io/oauth/token # -> 307

Verified end-to-end against a real MiniMax Plus account on macOS;
the existing tests/test_minimax_oauth.py suite (15 tests) still
passes.

2658494e81 fix(kanban): add per-path env overrides + dispatcher env injection
Layers defense-in-depth on top of the shared-root anchoring (base commit).

Changes in hermes_cli/kanban_db.py:
- kanban_db_path() now honours HERMES_KANBAN_DB first, then falls through
  to kanban_home()/kanban.db.
- workspaces_root() now honours HERMES_KANBAN_WORKSPACES_ROOT first, then
  falls through to kanban_home()/kanban/workspaces.
- All three overrides (HERMES_KANBAN_HOME, HERMES_KANBAN_DB,
  HERMES_KANBAN_WORKSPACES_ROOT) now call .expanduser() for consistency.
- _default_spawn() injects HERMES_KANBAN_DB and
  HERMES_KANBAN_WORKSPACES_ROOT into the worker subprocess env. Even
  when the worker's get_default_hermes_root() resolution somehow
  disagrees with the dispatcher's (symlinks, unusual Docker layouts),
  the two processes still open the same SQLite file.

Module docstring updated to describe all three overrides and the
dispatcher env-injection contract.

Tests (tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_db.py, TestSharedBoardPaths):
- test_hermes_kanban_db_pin_beats_kanban_home
- test_hermes_kanban_workspaces_root_pin_beats_kanban_home
- test_empty_per_path_overrides_fall_through
- test_dispatcher_spawn_injects_kanban_db_and_workspaces_root
  (monkeypatches subprocess.Popen, asserts both env vars reach the
  child even after HERMES_HOME is rewritten by `hermes -p <profile>`.)

Docs: website/docs/reference/environment-variables.md gets entries
for the three kanban env vars.

This fusion is built on the cleanest of the seven competing PRs that
targeted issue #18442:

* Base commit (from PR #19350 by @GodsBoy): add `kanban_home()` helper
  anchored at `get_default_hermes_root()`, reroute all 5 kanban path
  sites through it (including the 3 sibling log-dir sites that the
  other six PRs missed), 8-test regression class.
* Dispatcher env-var injection approach drawn from PRs #18300
  (@quocanh261997) and #19100 (@cg2aigc).
* Per-path env overrides drawn from PR #19100 (@cg2aigc).
* get_default_hermes_root() resolution direction first proposed in
  PR #18503 (@beibi9966) and PR #18985 (@Gosuj).

Closes the duplicate/competing PRs: #18300, #18503, #18670, #18985,
#19037, #19056, #19100. Fixes #18442 and #19348.

f5bd77b3e1 fix(kanban): anchor board, workspaces, and worker logs at the shared Hermes root
The Kanban board is documented as shared across all Hermes profiles, but
`kanban_db_path()` and `workspaces_root()` resolved through `get_hermes_home()`,
which returns the active profile's HERMES_HOME. When the dispatcher spawned a
worker with `hermes -p <profile> --skills kanban-worker chat -q "work kanban
task <id>"`, the worker rewrote HERMES_HOME to the profile subdirectory before
kanban_db.py imported, opening a profile-local `kanban.db` that did not contain
the dispatcher's task. `kanban_show` and `kanban_complete` failed; the
dispatcher's row stayed `running` and was retried/crashed. The same defect
applied to `_default_spawn`'s log directory and `worker_log_path`, so
`hermes kanban tail` did not see the worker's output.

Add `kanban_home()` in `hermes_cli/kanban_db.py` that resolves through
`HERMES_KANBAN_HOME` (explicit override) then `get_default_hermes_root()`,
which already understands the `<root>/profiles/<name>` and Docker / custom
HERMES_HOME shapes. Reroute `kanban_db_path`, `workspaces_root`, the
`_default_spawn` log directory, `gc_worker_logs`, and `worker_log_path`
through it. Profile-specific config, `.env`, memory, and sessions stay
isolated as before; only the kanban surface is shared.

Add a `TestSharedBoardPaths` regression class to `tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_db.py`
covering: default install, profile-worker convergence, Docker custom HERMES_HOME,
Docker profile layout, explicit `HERMES_KANBAN_HOME` override, and a real
SQLite round-trip across dispatcher and worker HERMES_HOME perspectives.
The dispatcher/worker convergence tests fail on origin/main and pass after
the fix.

Update the `kanban.md` user-guide page and the misleading docstrings in
`kanban_db.py` to describe the shared-root behavior.
