Follow-up on @pty819's t2a_v2 endpoint fix:
- Default model: speech-02 -> speech-02-hd (bare 'speech-02' is not in the
supported enum; t2a_v2 rejects it with 400). Official enum: speech-01-hd,
speech-01-turbo, speech-02-hd, speech-02-turbo, speech-2.6-hd/turbo,
speech-2.8-hd/turbo.
- Default voice: female-shaonv -> English_expressive_narrator. The
legacy speech-01-series short ID doesn't resolve cleanly on the
speech-02+ models that are now the default.
- Default base URL: api.minimaxi.com -> api.minimax.io (matches the
canonical host in the published docs; api-uw.minimax.io is the
reduced-latency alt).
- Add GroupId support via tts.minimax.group_id config or MINIMAX_GROUP_ID
env var. Some MiniMax accounts scope TTS requests by group; without it,
requests 401. Only appended when not already in the user's base_url.
Tests rewritten to cover both the default t2a_v2 path (hex-encoded audio
in JSON, nested voice_setting/audio_setting) and the legacy
text_to_speech path (raw audio bytes, flat payload). Adds coverage for
GroupId config/env wiring and error surfacing.
Also adds AUTHOR_MAP entry for pty819's GitHub-noreply email.
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.

* 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.
The c1eb2dcda tiered installer made two install paths look frozen on
slow networks or broken environments because both swallowed the
underlying tool's stderr.
scripts/install.sh, setup-hermes.sh:
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh 2>/dev/null
printed only '✗ Failed to install uv' on failure with no diagnostic.
Common real causes (glibc mismatch on old distros, corp proxy / TLS
interception, missing curl, ~/.local/bin not writable, disk full)
were invisible. Also: piping curl into sh masks curl failures under
set -e (no pipefail) — sh exits 0 on empty stdin, so a network error
succeeded silently.
Fix: download installer to a tempfile first, then run it. Capture
curl + installer output to a log; on failure, indent and print it.
scripts/install.sh hash-verified tier:
uv sync --all-extras --locked 2>"$(mktemp)" silenced uv's progress
output, making a fresh-venv install (~50 transitives including
torch-class deps) look hung for 1-5 minutes — users see 'Trying tier:
hash-verified (uv.lock) ...' and assume it's frozen. The mktemp
substitution also wasn't saved to a variable, so the uv error on
failure was unreachable.
Fix: stream uv's stderr directly so users see live 'Resolved N /
Prepared / Installed' progress. Print an upfront note that the first
run takes 1-5 minutes.
* 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

* 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
Replace with for all literal-tuple
membership tests. Set lookup is O(1) vs O(n) for tuple — consistent
micro-optimization across the codebase.
608 instances fixed via `ruff --fix --unsafe-fixes`, 0 remaining.
133 files, +626/-626 (net zero).
- getattr(self, '_slash_confirm_state', None) at the two read sites that
trip object.__new__(HermesCLI) test fixtures (test_cli_external_editor,
test_cli_skin_integration)
- _build_tui_layout_children: make slash_confirm_widget keyword-only with
default None to avoid breaking subclassing extension hook for wrapper
CLIs (test_cli_extension_hooks)

bug-fix batch salvage.
Follow-up to TreyDong's fix: switch the auth header to
`X-Hermes-Session-Token` (the canonical pattern used by the rest of
the dashboard SPA — see `web/src/lib/api.ts` `fetchJSON()`). The
server still accepts both schemes, so the original `Authorization:
Bearer` form would also work; we standardize on X-header to match
every other dashboard fetch and only set the header when a token is
actually present.
Also add scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP entry for treydong.zh@gmail.com.
The existing _live_system_guard (PR #23397) blocked os.kill / os.killpg
and a narrow subset of subprocess invocations. Tests still SIGTERMed the
live gateway today (May 10) because the guard had structural holes.
Plug them all:
- subprocess: also wrap getoutput, getstatusoutput
- os.system, os.popen - completely unwrapped before
- pty.spawn - completely unwrapped before
- asyncio.create_subprocess_exec / create_subprocess_shell - bypassed
the subprocess module entirely; now wrapped
- Subprocess command inspection now looks at the WHOLE command string,
not just tokens[0]. Catches sudo systemctl, env systemctl, bash -c
'systemctl', setsid systemctl, /usr/bin/systemctl, etc.
- New process-killer block: pkill / killall / taskkill / fuser
targeting hermes/python patterns is now refused
- os.kill PID 0 (own group) allowed; PID -1 (every process we can
signal) refused
- subprocess.Popen wrapper preserves __class_getitem__ so third-party
packages that use Popen[bytes] as a type annotation still import
Coverage is locked in by tests/test_live_system_guard_self_test.py -
exercises every primitive against a guaranteed-foreign PID and asserts
the guard fires. Adding a new kill primitive without updating the guard
breaks CI.
scripts/run_tests.sh now also force-loads ~/.hermes/pytest_live_guard.py
when present (developer-machine convenience), so even worktrees that
predate this commit get the protection on subsequent test runs through
the canonical wrapper.
The skill enumerated 8 specialist profile names (researcher, analyst,
writer, reviewer, backend-eng, frontend-eng, ops, pm) as "the standard
roster" and told orchestrators to "assume these exist." Almost no real
Hermes setup matches that fleet — single-profile setups, Docker-worker
setups, and curated-team setups all violate it — so following the skill
literally produced cards assigned to non-existent profiles, which the
dispatcher silently failed to spawn (no autocorrect, no fallback, just
sits in `ready` forever).
Changes:
- Drop the standard-specialist-roster table.
- Add a "Profiles are user-configured — not a fixed roster" section at
the top with a Step 0 that prescribes `hermes profile list` (or asking
the user) before fanning out. Cache the result in working memory.
- Rewrite the worked task-graph example with placeholder names
(<profile-A>, <profile-B>, <profile-C>) so the structure is still
teachable but doesn't invite copy-paste of role names that may not
exist.
- Reframe the "If no specialist fits" anti-temptation rule: don't
invent profile names; ask the user.
- Add a "Inventing profile names that doesn't exist" entry to Pitfalls.
- Bump skill version 2.0.0 → 3.0.0 (semantic break: previous behavior
promised a roster the skill no longer enumerates).
- Update website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md to drop the
matching "(researcher, writer, analyst, backend-eng, reviewer, ops)"
line and explain the discovery prompt instead.
- Re-run website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py to refresh the
auto-generated skill page + catalog.
Closes#21131 in spirit — addresses the same hardcoded-names footgun
@yehuosi flagged, with a different shape than their PR (delete the
roster rather than replace each name with placeholder, since the
roster table was the load-bearing footgun and the worked example is
salvageable with placeholder profile names).

* 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

Adds CDPSupervisor.evaluate_runtime() and wires it into _browser_eval as a
fast path when a supervisor is alive for the current task_id. Replaces the
~180ms agent-browser subprocess fork+exec+Node-startup hop with a ~1ms
Runtime.evaluate over the supervisor's already-connected WebSocket.
Falls through to the existing agent-browser CLI path when no supervisor is
running (e.g. backends without CDP, or before the first browser_navigate
attaches one), so behaviour is unchanged where it can't apply.
JS-side exceptions surface directly without falling through to the
subprocess (the subprocess would just re-raise the same error, slower);
supervisor-side failures (loop down, no session) fall through cleanly.
Benchmark — 30 iterations of `1 + 1` against headless Chrome:
supervisor WS mean= 0.96ms median= 0.91ms
agent-browser subprocess mean=179.35ms median=167.73ms
→ 187x speedup mean
Tests: 14 unit tests (mocked supervisor + response-shape coverage), 5
real-Chrome e2e tests in test_browser_supervisor.py (gated on Chrome
being installed). Browser test suite: 355 passed, 1 skipped.
Follow-up to the previous commit's casing fix.
The original PR shipped the dist edits without test coverage. The
contributor's reasoning (UI-only attributes in a pre-built JS bundle,
nothing meaningful to unit-test) is fair, but a static-asset assertion
catches the most likely regression vector — a future rebuild of the
dist bundle that loses the attributes — at near-zero cost.
Adds two regression tests in tests/plugins/test_kanban_dashboard_plugin.py:
- test_dashboard_assignee_inputs_preserve_casing — reads dist/index.js
and asserts autoCapitalize="none", autoCorrect="off", spellCheck=false,
and textTransform="none" each appear at least twice (one per assignee
input — inline triage/lane create + task-edit panel).
- test_dashboard_lane_head_preserves_assignee_casing — reads dist/style.css
and asserts the .hermes-kanban-lane-head rule body does NOT contain
text-transform: uppercase. Locates the rule by marker so unrelated CSS
churn nearby doesn't flake the test.
Both follow the same shape as the existing test_dashboard_requests_default_board_explicitly
static-asset guard from PR #22940's salvage.
Also adds the AUTHOR_MAP entry for princepal9120's GitHub-noreply email
so release notes credit the right account.
Follow-up to the previous commit's safe-int task_age fix.
The original PR shipped without test coverage. This commit adds:
- test_safe_int_accepts_int_and_int_string — sanity for the well-typed
path so the helper itself can't quietly start swallowing valid values.
- test_safe_int_returns_none_on_corrupt_inputs — the failure modes
(None, '%s', 'abc', '', '1.5', random objects). Covers both the
ValueError and TypeError catch branches.
- test_task_age_handles_corrupt_created_at — the headline regression:
a task with created_at='%s' used to raise ValueError and turn
GET /api/plugins/kanban/board into a 500.
- test_task_age_handles_corrupt_started_and_completed — confirms the
safe-int treatment is consistent across all three timestamp fields.
- test_task_age_well_formed_task — regression that the safe path
doesn't change observable output for normal data.
- test_task_dict_survives_corrupt_created_at — defense in depth.
Writes a corrupt row directly via SQL, reads it back through the
ORM, and confirms task_age + the surrounding plugin_api guard
degrade gracefully instead of crashing.
Also adds the AUTHOR_MAP entry for the contributor's GitHub-noreply
email so release notes credit @baocin (the commit was authored locally
as `aoi <aoi@hino.local>` — re-attributed during salvage to the
github noreply form).
* feat(gateway): add LINE Messaging API platform plugin
Adds LINE as a bundled platform plugin under `plugins/platforms/line/`,
synthesized from the strongest pieces of seven open community PRs. The
adapter requires zero core edits — `Platform("line")` is auto-discovered
via the bundled-plugin scan in `gateway/config.py`, and all hooks
(setup, env-enablement, cron delivery, standalone send) are wired
through `register_platform()` kwargs the way IRC and Teams do it.
Highlights merged into one plugin:
- **Reply token preferred, Push fallback.** Try the free reply token
first (single-use, ~60s TTL); fall back to metered Push when the
token is absent, expired, or rejected. (PR #21023)
- **Slow-LLM Template Buttons postback.** When the LLM is still running
past `LINE_SLOW_RESPONSE_THRESHOLD` (default 45s), the adapter burns
the original reply token to send a "Get answer" button bubble. The
user taps it to fetch the cached answer via a fresh reply token —
also free. State machine: PENDING → READY → DELIVERED, ERROR for
cancelled runs (orphan resolves to `LINE_INTERRUPTED_TEXT` after
/stop). Set threshold to 0 to disable. (PR #18153)
- **Three-allowlist gating** — separate user / group / room allowlists
with `LINE_ALLOW_ALL_USERS=true` dev-only escape hatch. (PR #18153)
- **Markdown URL preservation.** Strip bold/italic/code-fence/heading
markers (LINE renders them literally) but keep `[label](url)` →
`label (url)` so URLs stay tappable. (PR #18153)
- **System-message bypass** for `⚡ Interrupting`, `⏳ Queued`, etc. —
busy-acks reach the user as visible bubbles instead of being
swallowed into the postback cache. (PR #18153)
- **Media via public HTTPS URLs.** LINE doesn't accept binary uploads;
images/audio/video must be HTTPS-reachable. The adapter serves
registered tempfiles under `/line/media/<token>/<filename>` from the
same aiohttp app. Allowed-roots traversal guard covers
`tempfile.gettempdir()`, `/tmp` (→ `/private/tmp` on macOS), and
`HERMES_HOME`. `LINE_PUBLIC_URL` overrides URL construction for
setups behind tunnels/proxies. (PR #8398)
- **5-message-per-call batching.** LINE rejects >5 messages per
Reply/Push; smart-chunker caps text at 4500 chars per bubble.
- **Inbound dedup** via `webhookEventId` LRU. (PR #21023)
- **Self-message filter** via `/v2/bot/info` userId lookup. (PR #21023)
- **Loading-animation indicator** wired to LINE's `chat/loading/start`
endpoint, DM-only (LINE rejects it for groups/rooms). (PR #21023)
- **Out-of-process cron delivery** via `_standalone_send`, so
`deliver: line` cron jobs work even when cron runs detached from
the gateway.
- **Webhook hardening** — 1 MiB body cap, constant-time HMAC-SHA256
signature verification, dedup, scoped lock so two profiles can't
bind the same channel.
Validation
----------
- `scripts/run_tests.sh tests/gateway/test_line_plugin.py` →
73 passed in 1.05s

- E2E import + register + signature roundtrip + `Platform("line")`
bundled-plugin discovery verified against current `origin/main`.
Closes the seven open LINE PRs (#18153, #16832, #6676, #21023, #14942,
#14988, #8398) by superseding them with a single plugin-form
implementation that takes the best idea from each.

* docs(platforms): document platform-specific slow-LLM UX pattern
Add a 'Platform-Specific Slow-LLM UX' section to the platform-adapter
developer guide covering the _keep_typing override pattern that LINE
uses for its Template Buttons postback flow.
Three subsections:
- Pattern: subclass _keep_typing to layer mid-flight UX (with code)
- Pattern: subclass send to route through a cache instead of sending
- When this pattern is appropriate (vs. always-Push fallback)
Plus a short pointer in gateway/platforms/ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md so
tree-readers find the prose walkthrough on the docsite.
Filed because the LINE plugin (PR #23197) was the first bundled
adapter to need this pattern — every prior plugin (irc, teams,
google_chat) handles slow responses with the default typing-loop and
a regular send_text. Documenting now while the rationale is fresh.

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).
Two unrelated but co-located fixes to scripts/run_tests.sh:
1. pytest-split bootstrap (#22401): the script tried '$PYTHON -m pip
install pytest-split' on first run, but uv-created venvs ship without
pip. Result: 'No module named pip' before any test ran. Add a uv
fallback (uv pip install --python $PYTHON), keep pip as a secondary
path, and emit a clear error pointing at 'uv pip install -e ".[dev]"'
when neither is available. Also declare pytest-split in
pyproject.toml dev extra so a normal '.[dev]' install provisions it.
2. HERMES_CRON_SESSION leak (#22400): the hermetic env scrub already
unsets HERMES_GATEWAY_SESSION and HERMES_INTERACTIVE but missed the
sibling HERMES_CRON_SESSION. When run_tests.sh is invoked from a
Hermes cron job, that variable leaks into pytest, flipping
tools/approval.py into cron-deny mode and breaking
tests/acp/test_approval_isolation.py and friends.
Closes#22400.
Closes#22401.
- Restore allowed_chats gate before thread_id check so ignored_threads
applies universally (even to guest mentions).
- Compute _message_mentions_bot once in _should_process_message to
eliminate redundant second entity scan when guest_mode=true and the
message does not mention the bot.
- Remove redundant _is_group_chat from _is_guest_mention (caller already
verified the message is a group chat).
- Update _telegram_allowed_chats docstring to note guest_mode exception.
- Add test coverage: bot_command entity, text_mention entity,
caption_entities, and ignored_threads + guest_mode interaction.
- Add nik1t7n to AUTHOR_MAP.
Maps obafemiferanmi1999@gmail.com (the commit-author email used on
PR #21473's branch) to GitHub login KvnGz (the PR/branch owner) so
contributor_audit.py recognizes the authored commit in the upcoming
salvage PR.
Maps egitimviscara@gmail.com to GitHub login uzunkuyruk so that
contributor_audit.py recognizes their authored commits in upcoming
salvage PRs (e.g. #21933 fix).
Adds jhin.lee@unity3d.com → leehack so contributor_audit.py strict
mode passes when the salvage of #22053 (telegram DM topic reply
fallback) lands on main.
Windows Terminal captures Alt+Enter at the terminal layer (fullscreen
toggle), so documenting 'Alt+Enter or Ctrl+J' without qualification
leaves stock Windows Terminal users with no working newline key they
can discover from the docs alone.
- Main keybindings row: note Alt+Enter is intercepted on WT and direct
users to Ctrl+Enter / Ctrl+J instead.
- Shift+Enter compatibility table: split 'stock Windows Terminal' from
Windows Terminal Preview 1.25+ (which added Kitty protocol support
and works with the keybinding from this PR once enabled).
- Add AUTHOR_MAP entry for ra2157218@gmail.com -> Abd0r so the salvage
commit passes the email-mapping CI gate.
Commit 3dfb35700 accidentally saved scripts/install.ps1 with a UTF-8 BOM
(EF BB BF) at byte 0. PowerShell's normal file-execution path (`& .\install.ps1`)
handles BOMs fine, but the curl-and-iex one-liner documented in the README
uses `[scriptblock]::Create((irm ...))` which does NOT strip BOMs — the
BOM lands inside the param() block and fails with 'The assignment
expression is not valid' on $Branch and $HermesHome.
teknium1 hit this trying to reinstall from the PR branch after Brooklyn's
commits landed. Every user trying the PR branch install-one-liner hit
it too until we notice.
Saved without BOM, verified via xxd: file now starts with '# =====' at
byte 0 instead of EF BB BF.
## 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.
## 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.
install.ps1 had three related problems that compounded into `hermes dashboard`
failing to boot on Windows with 'No module named fastapi':
1. UTF-8 BOM missing. Windows PowerShell 5.1 (the default on Windows 10/11,
which is what `irm | iex` runs under) reads files without a BOM as
cp1252. install.ps1 has em-dashes, arrows, check marks, etc. — PS 5.1
mangled them and the file failed to parse. Added UTF-8 BOM so PS 5.1,
PS 7, and the in-memory `irm | iex` path all read the file identically.
2. `uv pip install -e .[all]` had a single-tier silent fallback to bare
`.` on any failure, with `2>&1 | Out-Null` swallowing the error. Any
transient extras install failure (network hiccup, wheel build issue,
etc.) would drop every optional extra including [web], and the installer
would still print 'Main package installed'. Replaced with a four-tier
fallback (.[all] -> PyPI-only extras -> dashboard+core -> bare) that
prints output at every step and a targeted [web] verify+repair at the
end so `hermes dashboard` specifically is never silently broken.
3. tinker-atropos was installed unconditionally after the main install.
tinker-atropos/pyproject.toml pulls atroposlib and tinker from
git+https://github.com/... which can fail on locked-down networks,
flaky DNS, or rate-limited github.com and would half-install the venv.
install.sh already skipped it by default with a one-liner for users
who actually do RL training — install.ps1 now matches that behavior.
Parse-checked clean under Windows PowerShell 5.1.26100.8115
(5318 tokens, 0 parse errors).
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
Adds a dedicated '## Windows-Specific Quirks' section to the hermes-agent
skill so Windows pitfalls have one discoverable place to evolve. Inaugural
entries cover:
- Input / keybindings — Alt+Enter intercepted by Windows Terminal,
Ctrl+Enter as the Windows newline keystroke, mintty/git-bash behavior,
pointer to scripts/keystroke_diagnostic.py for investigation.
- Config / files — UTF-8 BOM HTTP-400 trap.
- execute_code / sandbox — WinError 10106 SYSTEMROOT root cause +
_WINDOWS_ESSENTIAL_ENV_VARS fix location.
- Testing / contributing — scripts/run_tests.sh POSIX-venv limitation and
the system-Python workaround, POSIX-only test skip-guard patterns.
- Path / filesystem — line-ending warnings (cosmetic), forward-slash
portability.
Collapses the old scattered Windows bullets under 'Platform-specific
issues' into a single pointer at the new dedicated section so there's
only one place to maintain this content.
Also adds the scripts/keystroke_diagnostic.py the skill now references —
a small prompt_toolkit Application that prints the Keys.* identifier and
raw escape bytes for every keystroke. Used to establish the Ctrl+Enter
= c-j fact on Windows Terminal; generally useful for anyone adding a
platform-aware keybinding.
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.
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.
Three bugs from teknium1's successful install + diagnostic chat on Windows:
1. **Start-Process -FilePath npm.cmd fails with "%1 is not a valid Win32
application".** Start-Process bypasses cmd.exe and PATHEXT to call
CreateProcessW directly, which refuses .cmd batch shims. Switched
Install-NodeDeps to use PowerShell's invocation operator (``& $npmExe
install --silent *> $log``) which DOES honour PATHEXT. Extracted a
``_Run-NpmInstall`` helper so the browser + TUI paths share the same
logic. Captures $LASTEXITCODE correctly, still surfaces the real
stderr on failure with a log-file pointer for the full output.
2. **patch tool returns false-negative on Windows due to CRLF round-trip.**
Root cause was upstream of patch: ``subprocess.Popen(..., text=True,
stdin=PIPE)`` on Windows translates ``\\n`` → ``\\r\\n`` when data flows
through the stdin pipe. ``_pipe_stdin()`` was writing the patch's
new_content string through a text-mode pipe, bash then wrote those
CRLF bytes to disk, and patch's post-write verify compared the
on-disk CRLF bytes against the original LF-only string — fail.
Fixed in two places for defense in depth:
- ``_pipe_stdin()`` now writes through ``proc.stdin.buffer`` with
explicit UTF-8 encoding, bypassing Python's newline translation on
every platform. No behaviour change on POSIX (bytes are identical)
but stops the CRLF injection on Windows.
- ``patch_replace``'s post-write verify normalizes CRLF→LF on both
sides before comparing, so even if some future backend still
translates newlines the patch tool won't report a bogus failure.
3. **SOUL.md gets a UTF-8 BOM on Windows PowerShell 5.1.** ``Set-Content
-Encoding UTF8`` on PS5.1 writes UTF-8 WITH a byte-order-mark (changed
in PS7 via ``utf8NoBOM``). Hermes's prompt-injection scanner sees
the BOM (U+FEFF invisible char) and refuses to load the file, so
SOUL.md's persona instructions never get applied.
Fixed by writing the file via ``[System.IO.File]::WriteAllText``
with an explicit ``UTF8Encoding($false)`` — BOM-free on every
PowerShell version.
All POSIX behaviour verified unchanged: 198 tests pass across
test_file_operations, test_local_env_cwd_recovery, test_code_execution,
test_windows_native_support, test_windows_compat.
User hit 'fatal: not in a git directory' on re-install because:
1. They ran Remove-Item -Force $env:LOCALAPPDATA\hermes -ErrorAction
SilentlyContinue WHILE cd'd inside the install dir. Windows
silently refuses to delete a directory any shell is currently cd'd
inside and leaves the skeleton intact, but the -ErrorAction
SilentlyContinue swallowed every partial-delete failure so they
thought the wipe succeeded.
2. The installer then walked into Install-Repository, saw $InstallDir
still exists with a partial .git stub, my repo-validity probe
returned success (the probe's git rev-parse may have exit-code-zeroed
in a way I didn't expect), and the real git fetch died with three
'fatal: not a git repository' errors.
Two fixes belt-and-braces:
- Main() now cds to $env:USERPROFILE at start if the current shell
is inside $InstallDir. Harmless when the user ran from elsewhere;
critical when they didn't. This alone fixes the user's case.
- Install-Repository's 'is this a valid repo' probe now runs BOTH
git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree AND git status, resets
$LASTEXITCODE before each to avoid picking up a stale 0, and
requires BOTH to succeed. Also requires rev-parse's output to
match 'true' (not just exit 0) to rule out exit-0-with-empty-output
edge cases.
teknium1 hit "fatal: not in a git directory" on re-install when the previous
install left a $InstallDir\.git stub that Test-Path matched but git didn't
recognize (three "fatal: not a git repository" lines, then the script
exited before touching anything).
Two bugs:
1. Test-Path "$InstallDir\.git" was a weak gate — it matches .git
whether it's a directory, file, symlink, submodule gitfile, OR a
broken stub from a failed previous Remove-Item. Replaced with a
real repo probe: Push-Location + git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree
+ $LASTEXITCODE check. If git itself can't see a repo, we treat
the directory as not-a-repo and fall through to fresh clone.
2. The original update path ignored $LASTEXITCODE. fetch/checkout/pull
all emitted fatals but the script kept going. Now each command
checks $LASTEXITCODE and throws with an explicit message.
Also: when the directory exists but isn't a valid repo, the new code
wipes it (Remove-Item -ErrorAction Stop) and falls through to fresh
clone, instead of dying with the old "Directory exists but is not a git
repository" error. If the wipe itself fails (file locked, hermes still
running), we throw with a user-readable "close any programs using files
in <dir>" hint.
Refactored the function to use a $didUpdate flag instead of my earlier
draft's early `return` — that was skipping the submodule init block at
the bottom of the function. Both the update and fresh-clone paths now
fall through to the submodule init step, which is correct (git pull
doesn't auto-update submodules).
PowerShell structural check: 21 functions defined, braces balanced.
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.
User hit a real failure case: their system Git was in a half-installed state
(can neither uninstall nor reinstall) and winget refused to work around it.
We were one step away from shipping an installer that would have left users
with exactly the problem he already had.
What other agents do (reality check):
- Claude Code: requires pre-installed Git; breaks if user doesn't have it.
- OpenCode, Codex: don't need bash at all — PowerShell-first design.
- Cline: uses whatever shell VSCode is configured with; installs nothing.
None of them solve the "broken system Git" problem. We need to own our Git.
Changes:
- scripts/install.ps1::Install-Git: dropped winget path entirely. Now:
(1) use existing git if present; (2) download portable MinGit from the
official git-for-windows GitHub release to %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\git.
No winget, no admin, no Windows installer registry, no system impact.
- Added %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\git\{cmd,usr\bin} to User PATH so git + bash
+ POSIX coreutils (which, env, grep, …) resolve in fresh shells.
- tools/environments/local.py::_find_bash: reorder so Hermes' portable
MinGit install is checked BEFORE falling through to shutil.which("bash")
or system install locations. This way a broken system Git can't
hijack the bash lookup.
- README + installation docs reworded to reflect the new story: "portable
Git Bash, isolated from any system install, recoverable via rm -rf if it
ever breaks."
Recoverability: if Hermes' Git install ever breaks, ``Remove-Item %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\git``
and re-run the installer — no system impact, no uninstall drama, no winget
to fight with.
Follow-up to #15328's vision-unsupported retry branch in run_agent.py.
_strip_images_from_messages() previously deleted any message whose content
was entirely images. That's fine for synthetic user messages injected for
attachment delivery, but it breaks providers for tool-role messages — the
paired tool_call_id on the preceding assistant message ends up unmatched,
which OpenAI-compatible APIs reject with HTTP 400.
Fix: tool-role messages whose content becomes empty are replaced with a
plaintext placeholder that preserves the tool_call_id linkage. Only
non-tool messages are dropped. Added 10 tests covering the role-alternation
invariants + image-type coverage.
Image-rejection detector: expanded phrase list (image content not
supported / multimodal input / vision input / model does not support
image) and gated on 4xx status so transient 5xx errors never get
misinterpreted as 'server said no to images'. Detection is documented as
best-effort English phrase matching.
AUTHOR_MAP: mapped 3820588+ddupont808@users.noreply.github.com to
ddupont808 so release notes attribute the salvage correctly.
The new _is_gateway_approval_context() widened the gateway classification
to any call with HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM bound via contextvars. But
cron/scheduler.py binds that same contextvar for delivery routing on
cron jobs that originate from a gateway platform (telegram/discord/etc.),
so those jobs were getting routed through submit_pending with no
listener — blocking indefinitely instead of honoring approvals.cron_mode.
Short-circuit on HERMES_CRON_SESSION before any gateway check. Cron is
always governed by cron_mode config, regardless of where the job was
scheduled from.
Adds regression coverage in TestCronWithGatewayOrigin and records the
contributor email mapping for scripts/release.py.
Small follow-ups on top of #19643:
- check_auth() takes quiet kwarg to suppress its AUTHENTICATED print
when called from check_auth_live(), so the final status line reflects
the live-call outcome only.
- Drop redundant _ensure_deps() call in check_auth_live() (check_auth()
already calls it).
- Add AUTHOR_MAP entry for ygd58 so release attribution script works.
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.
When the installer is run via , uv resolves config file
paths against the process owner's (root) home directory rather than the
effective user's, causing a Permission denied error when trying to read
/root/uv.toml.
Setting UV_NO_CONFIG=1 prevents uv from discovering any config files
(uv.toml, pyproject.toml) during installation, which is the correct
behavior for a bootstrap script that manages its own environment.

- 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

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

PR #21238 introduced top-level `allOf: [{if/then/required}]` blocks in the
built-in memory tool's parameters schema as conditional-required hints.
Two problems:
1. OpenAI's Codex backend (chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex, gpt-5.x) rejects
top-level `allOf`/`anyOf`/`oneOf`/`enum`/`not` outright with a
non-retryable 400 — affected every user on openai-codex/gpt-5.x.
2. The `if/then` hints were silently ignored by every other provider
(Chat Completions doesn't honour them on function schemas), so they
never actually enforced anything anywhere.
The runtime handler in `memory_tool()` already validates the per-action
required fields and returns actionable error messages, so removing the
block changes nothing behaviourally.
Paired with the defense-in-depth sanitizer in the previous commit, this
closes the bug both at the source (schema no longer emits the forbidden
form) and at the wire boundary (sanitizer strips it if anything else
re-introduces it).
- Rewrites `tests/tools/test_memory_tool_schema.py` to guard against
regressing the forbidden-combinator shape instead of asserting it.
- Adds AUTHOR_MAP entry for @hrkzogw (author of the sanitizer fix).
Self-chat mode (default) previously replied to ANY incoming DM with a
Python-side pairing-code message. Two compounding defaults:
1. allowlist.js::matchesAllowedUser returned true for an empty
allowlist — so WHATSAPP_ALLOWED_USERS unset → everyone passes the JS
bridge gate → messages reach Python gateway → _is_user_authorized
returns False but _get_unauthorized_dm_behavior falls back to
'pair' → stranger gets a pairing code reply.
2. bridge.js had no mode check on !fromMe messages, so self-chat mode
(where the operator only wants to talk to themselves) forwarded
everything anyway.
Fix:
- allowlist.js: empty allowlist now returns false. Operators who want
an open bot must set WHATSAPP_ALLOWED_USERS=* explicitly (the
existing wildcard behaviour, consistent with SIGNAL_GROUP_ALLOWED_USERS).
- bridge.js: self-chat mode hard-rejects all !fromMe messages at the
bridge, before they ever reach the Python gateway. Bot mode still
enforces the allowlist.
- Startup log message updated to reflect the new per-mode behaviour
(was '⚠️ No WHATSAPP_ALLOWED_USERS set — all messages will be
processed', which was both inaccurate post-fix and a bad default
signal pre-fix).
- allowlist.test.mjs: new regression test pinning the empty-rejects
contract, + null/undefined defensive cases.
Behaviour delta for existing users:
- self-chat mode, no allowlist: strangers got pairing codes, now
silently dropped. Strictly better.
- bot mode, no allowlist: strangers got pairing codes via the
Python-side pairing flow, now silently dropped at the JS bridge.
Operators who genuinely want an open bot set
WHATSAPP_ALLOWED_USERS=*.
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.

The MCP SDK discovers OAuth server metadata (token_endpoint, etc.) on
demand and keeps it in memory only. Without disk persistence, a restart
with valid cached refresh tokens forces the SDK to fall back to the
guessed '{server_url}/token' path — which returns 404 on most real
providers (Notion, Atlassian, GitHub remote MCP, etc.) and triggers a
full browser re-authorization even though the refresh token is fine.
Add a .meta.json file next to the existing tokens/client_info files:
HERMES_HOME/mcp-tokens/<server>.json -- tokens (existing)
HERMES_HOME/mcp-tokens/<server>.client.json -- client info (existing)
HERMES_HOME/mcp-tokens/<server>.meta.json -- oauth metadata (new)
Changes:
- HermesTokenStorage.save_oauth_metadata / load_oauth_metadata / _meta_path
— disk layer for the discovered OAuthMetadata.
- HermesTokenStorage.remove() now also clears .meta.json so
'hermes mcp remove <name>' and the manager's remove() path clean up fully.
- HermesMCPOAuthProvider._initialize cold-restores from disk before the
existing pre-flight discovery runs. If disk has metadata we skip the
discovery HTTP round-trips entirely.
- HermesMCPOAuthProvider._prefetch_oauth_metadata now persists ASM as
soon as it's discovered, so even the first pre-flight run seeds disk.
- HermesMCPOAuthProvider._persist_oauth_metadata_if_changed() is called
at the end of async_auth_flow so metadata discovered via the SDK's
lazy 401-branch (not pre-flight) is also saved for next time.
Tests cover the storage roundtrip (save/load/missing/corrupt/remove) and
the manager provider path (cold-load restore, skip-when-in-memory,
persist-on-discover, noop-when-unchanged, end-to-end async_auth_flow).

Follow-up on top of @kyan12's PR #20888 — same feature, cleaner shape,
wider coverage.
Changes:
- Drop the synthetic '[System note: ...]' in the internal MessageEvent.
The existing _is_resume_pending branch in _handle_message_with_agent
(run.py ~L13738) already injects a reason-aware recovery system note
on the next turn. With kyan's text in place the model saw two stacked
system notes. Now the event text is empty and the existing injection
path owns the wording.
- Drop SessionStore.list_resume_pending() as a new public method. The
filter is 8 lines inline in _schedule_resume_pending_sessions() —
one caller, no other pluggability need.
- Add 'restart_interrupted' to the auto-resume reason set. That's the
reason SessionStore.suspend_recently_active() stamps on sessions
recovered from a crash/OOM/SIGKILL (no .clean_shutdown marker).
Previously those sessions had to wait for a real user message to
auto-resume; now they continue automatically at startup like
drain-timeout interruptions do.
- Reasons live in a _AUTO_RESUME_REASONS frozenset at class scope so
future reasons (e.g. 'manual_resume_request') can be opted in with
one line.
Test coverage added:
- drain-timeout + crash-recovery both scheduled
- stale entries skipped (outside freshness window)
- suspended entries skipped (suspended > resume_pending)
- originless entries skipped (no routing target)
- disallowed reasons skipped (graceful forward-compat)
E2E verified end-to-end with a real on-disk SessionStore: 2 eligible
sessions scheduled, 2 ineligible skipped, empty-text internal events
delivered to the adapter.

When display.cleanup_progress (or display.platforms.<plat>.cleanup_progress)
is true, the gateway deletes tool-progress bubbles, long-running '⏳ Still
working...' notices, and status-callback messages after the final response
is delivered successfully. Currently effective on adapters that implement
delete_message (Telegram); silently no-ops elsewhere. Off by default.
Failed runs skip cleanup so bubbles stay as breadcrumbs.
Minimal plumbing: base.py's existing post_delivery_callback slot now chains
new registrations onto any existing callback (with per-callback exception
isolation) rather than clobbering. Stale-generation registrations are
rejected so they can't step on a fresher run's callbacks. This lets the
cleanup callback coexist with the background-review release hook already
registered on the same slot.

- Remove dead metadata.get('reply_to') fallback in _send_raw_message;
nothing in the codebase ever sets 'reply_to' inside a metadata dict —
the key only appears as a top-level send_voice() keyword argument
- Simplify _status_thread_metadata construction in run.py to use a
single dict literal instead of create-then-mutate pattern; the
or-{} guard was dead since source.thread_id implies _progress_thread_id
is also set for Feishu
- Add yuqian@zmetasoft.com to AUTHOR_MAP for contributor attribution
Follow-up to the salvaged fix for /goal ENAMETOOLONG drop — adds
AUTHOR_MAP entry so the release script resolves the commit author to
the correct GitHub user.
- Fix /compact → /compress in context-overflow tips (closes#20020)
- Evict cached agent after session hygiene and /compress so system
prompt refreshes with current SOUL.md, memory, and skills
- Restore memory authority across compaction: change 'informational
background data' to 'authoritative reference data' in memory block
and SUMMARY_PREFIX, with backward-compatible regex

Salvage follow-up for PR #20344:
- AUTHOR_MAP entry for rob-maron (required by CI)
- 17 parametrized tests covering _is_arcee_trinity_thinking,
_fixed_temperature_for_model Trinity override, and
_compression_threshold_for_model, including sibling-model negatives
(trinity-large-preview, trinity-mini) and the OpenRouter slug form.
WhatsApp bridge (bridge.js) only sets ptt:true when file extension is .ogg
or .opus, causing mp3/wav files (from Edge TTS, NeuTTS, etc.) to arrive
as file attachments instead of voice bubbles — silently, with no error.
Fix: when audio type is sent with a non-ogg/opus format, run ffmpeg
conversion to ogg/opus in a temp file before sending. This makes
send_voice() self-sufficient regardless of what format the caller provides.
Fallback: if ffmpeg is unavailable, original buffer is sent (previous
behaviour) with a console.warn — no crash.
Addresses veloguardian's review comment on PR #4992.
After PR #13725 replaced the module-level _LOCK_DIR/_LOCK_FILE constants
with a dynamic _get_lock_paths() helper, the xdist-isolation fixture
needs to patch the function instead of the removed constants.
